CIA torture
report to be
made public
By Bradley Klapper
and Stephen Braun
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON The Senate
Intelligence Committee voted
Thursday to release parts of a hotly
contested, secret report that harsh-
ly criticizes CIA terror interroga-
tions after 9/11, and the White
House said it would instruct intelli-
gence ofcials to cooperate fully.
The result sets the stage for what
could be the fullest public account-
ing of the Bush administrations
record when it comes to waterboard-
ing and other enhanced interroga-
tion techniques. The panel voted
11-3 to order the declassication of
almost 500 pages of the 6,300-
page review, which concludes the
harsh methods employed at CIA-
run prisons
overseas were
e x c e s s i v e l y
cruel and inef-
fective in pro-
ducing valuable
intelligence.
Even some
Re p u b l i c a n s
who agree with
the spy agency
that the ndings
are inaccurate voted in favor of
declassification, saying it was
important for the country to move
on.
The purpose of this review was
to uncover the facts behind the
secret program and the results, I
think, were shocking, Sen.

After paying rent for nearly a
decade in South San Francisco, the
San Mateo County Harbor District
Commission voted Wednesday to
return its headquarters to Pillar
Point Harbor in Half Moon Bay.
The commission unanimously
approved a purchase agreement for
property in El Granada with the
intent of moving its administrative
ofces back to the coast.
It owns Pillar Point Harbor and
had shared a small 2,400-square-
foot building with the Harbor
Patrol for nearly 40 years before
deciding in 2004 it was too cramped
for staff to coexist, said
Commissioner Sabrina Brennan.
Through a joint powers agree-
ment with South San Francisco, the
district has a role at Oyster Point
Marina; but shes thrilled the com-
missioners opted to focus on the
nancial longevity of the district,
Brennan said.
Im very pleased with the unani-
mous decision to return [the]
Harbor District management back
to the coastside, Brennan wrote in
an email. The Harbor District
owns Pillar Point Harbor and the
city of South San Francisco owns
Oyster Point Marina. It makes
sense for the Harbor District to
invest in a facility it owns and buy
an ofce building near that primary
facility.
In October 2013, the districts
multi-year lease in South San
Francisco was due for renewal so the
Harbor District moving headquarters back to coast
Commission votes unanimously to relocate into own facility, save money on rent

Russian envoy urges
U.S. officials to do yoga
MOSCOW A senior Russian
diplomat says U.S. ofcials should do
yoga and watch TV comedy series to
ease what he calls their irrational xa-
tion on punishing Russia over
Ukraine.
Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei
Ryabkovs comments to the Interfax
news agency Thursday reected sim-
mering tensions between Moscow and
Washington over Russias annexation
of Crimea. The U.S. and the EU have
slapped members of Russian President
Vladimir Putins entourage with travel
bans and asset freezes.
Ryabkov warned that Moscow may
take retaliatory steps, but he didnt
elaborate.
Ryabkov said the U.S. got xated
on halting cooperation with Russia.
He said his advice to the U.S. partners
is to spend more time outdoors, do
yoga ... and watch TV comedy series
instead of childish whims, tears and
hysterics that wont help.
Dog escapes Texas backyard,
somehow gets to Ohio
HAMILTON, Ohio A small dog
that escaped its fenced-in yard in Texas
was found outside a southwest Ohio
animal shelter, and its owners have no
idea how he traveled more than 1,000
miles in a few days.
The 3-year-old Chihuahua-
Dachshund mix named Corbin dug a
hole under a fence in his backyard in
Killeen, Texas, on March 25. He was
found Saturday tied to a bench outside
the animal shelter in Hamilton, about
30 miles north of Cincinnati.
It sounds like one of those too-
good-to-be-true stories, Corbins
owner, Mike Saiz, told The Cincinnati
Enquirer. This isnt the rst time he
dug a hole under the fence. One time he
was waiting for us on our front porch
and the other two times we had to pick
him up from the local pound.
Asurveillance camera at the Animal
Friends Humane Society in Hamilton
recorded a woman leaving Corbin at
the shelter late Friday night. Staff
found him the next day.
Corbin was in good shape, just
soaking wet from rain and a little
scared, said Kurt Merbs, supervisor of
Butler Countys dog wardens divi-
sion. Authorities are hoping to identi-
fy the woman and see if they can get
answers about how Corbin ended up in
Ohio and at the shelter, Merbs said
Wednesday.
The staff located Saiz after nding a
microchip on him that contained his
owners information.
They called my wife and she told
me that they found our dog, but she
didnt sound happy about it, Saiz
said. I asked if he was OK and she
told me he was fine. I then asked
where the shelter was and she said,
`Hamilton - not Hamilton, Texas,
but Hamilton, Ohio.
Tree trimmer hospitalized
with chain saw in neck
PITTSBURGH A tree trimmer is
recovering after he was rushed to a
Pittsburgh hospital with a chain saw
blade embedded in his neck.
James Valentine was in a tree in
Ross Township on Monday afternoon
when he was struck in the neck by the
saw. Another worker helped him down,
and his co-workers left the saw in
place to try to limit the bleeding.
Valentine had emergency surgery at
Allegheny General Hospital. Doctors
say the saw missed major arteries and
instead cut into muscle. The hospital
Tuesday released an X-ray showing the
saw still in the 21-year-olds neck.
Valentine works for Adler Tree
Service in Gibsonia. Owner Dominic
Migliozzi calls the rescue amazing.

A woman who stole diamonds by dis-
tracting a retailer and replacing them with
cubic zirconias at a local jewelry store was
arrested Monday, according to San Mateo
police.
Angela Walker, a 45-year-old Palo Alto
resident, entered Galati Jewelers on 35 E.
Fourth Ave. in San Mateo around 2 p.m.
Thursday, March 27, purporting to be
interested in making a purchase, according
to police.
Walker looked at several loose diamonds
as well as a solitaire diamond ring she
stole when the clerk was distracted. Walker
then bumped the clerks hand and replaced
a loose diamond that fell on the counter
with a cubic zirconia, according to police.
Walker gave the clerk her contact infor-
mation and told her shed be interested in
seeing more jewelry at a later date. The
police were informed and lured Walker back
to the store Monday,
according to police.
Walker returned and
attempted to sell a sus-
pected stolen necklace
and was also found in
possession of a loose
cubic zirconia piece that
was the same size of a
diamond she was sched-
uled to view, according
to police.
Search warrants were executed and
Walker was found in possession of jewelry
and loose cubic zirconias and arrested for
commercial burglary, according to police.
Police are attempting to find any indi-
viduals, jewelry stores, pawn shops and
consignment store owners who recognize
Walker.
Anyone with information should contact

Obituary
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
Ajudge will determine if a Half Moon Bay
man accused of fatally stabbing and bludg-
eoning a friend at his fathers Pacica home
before dragging the body outside in a bid to
hide it is mentally competent to stand trial
for murder.
Marc Furlans defense agreed yesterday to
let a judge decide on May 7 rather than face a
jury. The crux of the case will likely be the
ndings of two court-appointed doctors who
have found Furlan competent.
Furlan is charged with murder and using a
weapon in the Oct. 17, 2002, death of Keith
Coffey. Furlan and Coffey, 24, were acquain-
tances and reportedly argued before Coffeys
death at the Dell Road home of Furlans
father. Prosecutors say Furlan stabbed and
beat Coffey with a knife and hammer, leav-
ing more than 50 wounds to his body. Two
tenants ed the scene and contacted police
who found Coffey in front of the home
around 5:15 a.m. He was reportedly trying
to clean up the scene by
dragging the body out-
side, leaving a large trail
of blood from the house.
A clear motive in the
murder has never been
publicly stated. Coffeys
death was the rst murder
in Pacica since 2000.
In March 2013, prose-
cutors sidestepped a pre-
liminary hearing on the evidence by asking
the criminal grand jury to indict Furlan on
the charges. The indictment moved him
directly into Superior Court but proceedings
came to a standstill in August when the
defense questioned his competency.
Sanity is ones mental state at the time of
an alleged crime while competency is his or
her ability to aid in ones own defense. If the
judge nds Furlan competent, criminal pro-
ceedings will be reinstated. If not, Furlan
will be committed to a state mental facility.
Furlan remains in custody without bail.

SAN FRANCISCO Campaign consult-
ant Keith Jackson operated largely outside
the spotlight for years as a political power
broker in San Francisco.
Now, authorities have cast him as a player
in a cash-for-guns political corruption
investigation that led to charges against
him and state Sen. Leland Yee.
Jackson was released from jail Thursday
evening after a magistrate judge earlier in
the day ordered him freed on $250,000
bond.
Federal prosecutor William Frentzen had
argued in court that the seriousness of the
charges means Jackson should remain
behind bars until his trial, which has not yet
been scheduled. Jacksons lawyer James
Brosnahan countered that his client is inno-
cent, has no criminal record and has deep
ties to San Francisco.

Ronald John Anderson
Ronald John Anderson, 84, passed away peacefully on
March 27, 2014 at his home in Sandy Utah. He was born in
Blackfoot Idaho, August 29, 1929 to Ruby Kingsford and
Andrew Anderson. He grew up in Blackfoot and Pocatello with
3 brothers and 3 sisters.
Ron graduated from Pocatello High School . He then

Science degree. He was drafted into the Army and proudly
served in the Korean war. He obtained his Masters degree at

a great attachment to that beautiful city on the bay. He loved to take walks along the dike
with Polly and look for shells with the grandkids. He served for many years on the San Mateo

One of the joys in Rons life was the opportunity he had to build his dream cabin in Island
Park, ID. He and Polly loved their summers spent at the cabin. He enjoyed y-shing, golf,
dutch oven cooking and visits into nearby Yellowstone National Park with family and friends.
Ron developed a strong testimony of the Gospel and was an active member of the LDS

Investigators have identified the rightful
owner of an engraved charm bracelet that

San Jose 20 years ago after seizing it dur-
ing a traffic stop in Redwood City, police
said Thursday.
Redwood City police released photos of
dozens of unique necklaces, bracelets,
rings and watches seized during a traffic
stop on a vehicle in Redwood City on Feb.

Police said they located the unique jewel-
ry in the vehicle and the occupants of the
car were unable to prove that they owned
the jewelry or explain where it came from.
The occupants of the vehicle were identi-
fied as residents of Santa Clara, Mountain
View and East Palo Alto, according to
police.
Among the many stolen items recovered
by Redwood City police was a charm
bracelet with names and dates engraved on
the charms. The names and dates on the
bracelet were Ricky 12/9/61, Flora
1/21/64 and London 11/8/69, police
said.
After alerting the public to the seized
items, the owner of the charm bracelet was
identified, police said.
Photographs of the remaining items can
be found online at:

The Redwood City Police Department is
holding the items for safe keeping and is
attempting to return the pieces to their
rightful owners.

WASHINGTON House Republicans
renewed their election-year assault on
President Barack Obamas health care law
Thursday, their opposition undimmed just
days after Obama celebrated news that more
than 7 million Americans had signed up for
coverage under the law.
The GOP-led chamber voted 248-179 to
change the laws denition of full-time work
from 30 hours a week to 40 hours a week. The
result would be that fewer workers would get
employer-sponsored health coverage and
hundreds of thousands more people would be
uninsured, according to the Congressional
Budget Ofce. Republicans, backed by the
Chamber of Commerce and other business
groups, said the change would restore the tra-
ditional denition of full-time work while
providing needed relief to businesses that are
struggling with increased costs from the
health care law. Businesses say they are
being forced to cut worker hours, limit full-
time jobs and drop health coverage because
of the law, which requires businesses with 50
or more full-time workers to provide health
coverage or pay penalties.
It was the House GOPs 52nd vote to
change, repeal or otherwise uproot Obamas
health law, and the measure faced certain
death in the Democratic-controlled Senate.
Eighteen Democrats joined with all
Republicans in approving the bill, named the
Save American Workers Act of 2013.
In rancorous debate on the House oor,
Democrats accused Republicans of being
obsessed with attacking the health law, while
Republicans ridiculed Democrats for trying to
change what they called a commonly under-
stood denition of full-time work.
We all know 30 hours isnt full time but
thats what Obamacare says, said Rep. Tim
Grifn, R-Ark. Even in France a full-time
job is 35 hours a week.

SACRAMENTO Californias health
exchange announced Thursday that enroll-
ment in private insurance plans had
exceeded 1.2 million by an initial deadline
earlier this week, although officials
acknowledged they have more work ahead
to reduce the number of people who remain
uninsured.
Researchers at the University of
California at Berkeleys Center for Labor
Research and Education projected there
would still be between 3.7 million and 4.5
million uninsured after the initial enroll-
ment period. The estimates include people
living in California without legal permis-
sion and who therefore do not qualify for
coverage under the federal Affordable Care
Act.
They estimated that 5.4 million
Californians were uninsured at some point
in the year before the federal health care
overhaul took effect.
We do have something to celebrate, but
its really a starting line, Covered
California Executive Director Peter Lee
said in a call with reporters.
The states preliminary gure of more
than 1.2 million nearly met the Obama
administrations original target of 1.3 mil-
lion. Covered California has since extend-
ed the deadline for two weeks for applicants
who say they attempted to start the process
before midnight Monday but were thwarted
by technical problems.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Although the city of Millbrae seems to be
in favor of additional funding for Millbrae
Community Television, the council is hold-
ing off finalizing a contract until more
information is available about the groups
budget.
MCTVhas provided cablecasting services
to the city since 1997 and its funding was
cut from $86,040 in 2008 to its level of
$76,534 for operating costs when its con-
tract expired Dec. 30, 2013.
The council decided last week with a 4-1
vote to extend the current expired agree-
ment until June 30, while re-engaging in
negotiations in May.
Our reserves have shrunk, said Joe
Teresi, president of MCTVs Board of
Directors. This cant really continue for
us. We have been working with staff for
over a year and feel like we havent reached
consensus on some of these items because
theres been no guidance from the City
Council.
Teresi added he would like to see the coun-
cil give staff clear policy direction on the
MCTV contract.
MCTV brought forward proposals to
restore the 2008 funding level and enter
into a longer two-year agreement with the
city. The group is also seeking a larger
ofce. Its currently in a 240-square-foot
space and hopes to acquire 750 square feet of
space adjacent to the Chetcuti Community
Room formerly a gym as an addition-
al ofce/production space at cost of $1 per
year. The group said it would remodel the
gym with its own money.
Meanwhile, Mayor Wayne Lee said the
money to remodel the gym is really the
citys since it helps fund the organization.
So were trying to get an idea of how
much money were talking here, he said. I
agree [MCTVprovides] an excellent service
and people put in thousands of hours of
their own time. Its very much appreciated.
Lee noted the funding does depend on if
its $1.5 million annual re assessment tax
passes in its all-mail ballot April 22.
MCTVs mission is to develop communi-
ty access television for the benefit of
Millbrae residents and facilitate the growth
of a medium, which will provide education
and public service programming. Theres
one full-time staff member and three part-
time workers. MCTV also sells profession-
al 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. The group has
$220,000 a year in operating costs and
spends $173,000 for employees and con-
tractors. Councilmembers also brought up
concerns about money MCTV owes as part
of a promissory note.
Other councilmembers were in favor of
restoring prior funding, including
Councilwoman Marge Colapietro, who
noted over the years MCTVhas won several
awards and is important to the community.
I know that the heart and soul of
Millbrae television is the people, she
said. Hard work and generosity. They make
an effort to go out and help themselves and
250 square feet isnt enough.
The group faces many challenges in not
having enough space and money, it said.
The organization has been running on sig-
nicantly less funding from the city than
comparable community access stations
across the country, MCTV General Manager
Andy Pitman previously said. Similar
organizations get 90 percent of their fund-
ing from local municipalities versus the 45
percent MCTV gets from the city, said
MCTVs Rod Pasion.
Councilmembers Anne Oliva and Reuben
Holober agree with Colapietro but want to
hold off on approving a new contract until
rm numbers were available.
I believe $86,040 is a reasonable fund-
ing number, Holober said. I would like to
see more numbers from staff on MCTVs
budget before we go forward with approving
that.
Teresi also noted that in a new contract
hed like to remove a clause that makes
$16,000 of funding restricted to equipment
purchases.
Its a large hindrance to our ability to
execute our mission, he said.
City holding off on MCTV contract

SACRAMENTO A Democratic resolu-
tion denouncing the outsourcing of gov-
ernment functions to private contractors
passed the Assembly on Thursday after
prompting a spirited partisan debate about
the role of government.
The nonbinding, union-sponsored reso-
lution by Assemblyman Jimmy Gomez, D-
Los Angeles, passed on a 42-22 vote.
HR29 says the Assembly opposes out-
sourcing of public services if it harms
transparency and competition.
Gomez said his resolution responds to
government entities relying too much on
private contractors during years of budget
cuts and not considering whether public
employees could do the work better. Local
governments contract out for services that
include garbage removal, park mainte-
nance, mental health treatment and urban
planning.
Acting at the urging of public employee
unions, Democrats said government con-
tractors often pay low wages and shroud
the spending of taxpayer money in secre-
cy.
Youre moving taxpayer resources more
often than not into the hands of the 1 per-
cent, the owners, and who pays? Its at the
expense of good-paying jobs, said
Assemblyman Roger Hernandez, D-West
Covina.

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

GUAYANILLA, Puerto Rico He grew up
in Puerto Rico and played percussion in his
high school band. He spent a decade working
as a police ofcer and serving in the National
Guard, part of that time as a peacekeeper in
Egypts Sinai Peninsula. And then he joined
the U.S. Army.
That was Ivan Lopezs seemingly unre-
markable route into the military. But what
happened from there and why the 34-year-
old soldier turned against his comrades at Fort
Hood, Texas, with such deadly fury bafed
some of those who knew him.
He had a lot of friends. I never saw him
ghting. He never seemed like a boy who had
emotional problems, said Guayanilla Mayor
Edgardo Arlequin Velez, who was also the
leader of the school band that Lopez played in
in this small, working-class town.
But Fort Hood commander Lt. Gen. Mark
Milley said Thursday that there was evidence
Lopez was psychologically unstable, and
that was believed to be a fundamental under-
lying cause in Wednesdays shooting ram-
page, in which Lopez killed three people,
wounded 16 and took his own life.
Lopez was sent to Iraq as a truck driver in
2011 during the nal months of the war there.
He did not see combat and was not wounded,
military ofcials said.
He sought help for depression and anxiety
and was being evaluated
for post-traumatic stress
disorder, military ofcials
said. But Army Secretary
John McHugh said
Thursday that a psychia-
trist last month found no
violent or suicidal tenden-
cies. The soldier was pre-
scribed Ambien for a
sleeping problem.
He had no apparent
links to extremists, McHugh said.
Glidden Lopez Torres, who is not related to
the gunman but identied himself as a family
friend speaking on behalf of the soldiers
family in Puerto Rico, said Lopezs mother
died of a heart attack in November.
Lopez was close to her and was apparently
upset that he was granted only a short leave
24 hours, later extended to two days to
go to her funeral, which was delayed for near-
ly a week so he could make it, the family
spokesman said.
That was a very frustrating time for him,
said Yaritza Castro, who grew up with Lopez
and now lives in Miami.
Castro said Lopez had two children from a
previous marriage and a third with his widow.
He took all three children to Disney World
not long before his mothers death.
Castro said Lopez was a thoughtful person
who called to check on her when her husband
was deployed with the military, and he also
sent care packages to her husband.

Members of the media surround a news conference by U.S. Army Lieutenant General Mark
Milley and U.S. Senator John Cornyn at the entrance to Fort Hood.
WASHINGTON The Obama administra-
tion on Thursday defended its creation of a
Twitter-like Cuban communications net-
work to undermine the communist govern-
ment, declaring the secret program was
invested and debated by Congress and
wasnt a covert operation that required
White House approval.
But two senior Democrats on congres-
sional intelligence and judiciary commit-
tees said they had known nothing about the
effort, which one of them described as
dumb, dumb, dumb. Ashowdown with that
senators panel is expected next week, and
the Republican chairman of a House over-
sight subcommittee said that it, too, would
look into the program.
An Associated Press investigation found
that the network was built with secret shell
companies and nanced through a foreign
bank. The project, which lasted more than
two years and drew tens of thousands of sub-
scribers, sought to evade Cubas strangle-
hold on the Internet with a primitive social
media platform.
First, the network was to build a Cuban
audience, mostly young people. Then, the
plan was to push them toward dissent.
Yet its users were neither aware it was cre-
ated by a U.S. agency with ties to the State
Department, nor that American contractors
were gathering personal data about them, in
the hope that the information might be used
someday for political purposes.

SACRAMENTO San Jose Mayor Chuck
Reed said Thursday that he is pressing ahead
with a proposed ballot initiative that would
give local governments more leeway to cut
public employees future pension benet s,
saying he will target the 2016 ballot after
losing a court challenge this year.
We have not stopped working on this.
We will not give up, Reed, a Democrat, told
the Sacramento Press Club.
He and a group of other California mayors
had hoped to put a proposed constitutional
amendment on the November ballot, but
they lost a lawsuit that challenged Attorney
General Kamala Harris description of the
initiative.
The mayor said he will appeal the judges
ruling, which he believes gave too much
deference to the attorney general.
The proposal is based on one Reed per-
suaded voters to approve in 2012 in San
Jose, Californias third most populous city,
where pension payments jumped from $73
million in 2001 to $245 million in 2012,
or 27 percent of the citys operating budget.
The city eliminated a quarter of its workforce
and imposed a 10 percent
pay cut across all depart-
ments.
The city is scaling back
future retirement benet s
for current employees and
new hires, but many of
the changes remain in
limbo after they were
challenged in court by
public employee unions.
He said rising pension costs have been a
major drag on local government budgets
nationwide, and those governments must
act to keep themselves solvent without
severely cutting basic services such as
police and re.
This is a reasonably fair solution. There
is no perfect solution, he said. There is no
totally fair way to do this. Is it fair to cut
services to taxpayers year after year to bal-
ance the budget? It is fair to cut retirees pen-
sions years after theyve retired? Is it fair to
cut benets that have already been earned by
your current employees?
The proposed initiative would have
allowed city, county and other governments
to reduce future benets through collective
bargaining or a local vote.
San Jose mayor plans
pension initiative in 16
By Alex Veiga
These are good times for U.S. landlords.
For many tenants, not so much.
With demand for apartments surgi ng,
rents are projected to rise for a fth straight
year. Even a pickup in apartment construc-
tion is unlikely to provide much relief any-
time soon.
That bodes well for building owners and
their investors. Yet the landlord-friendly
trends will likely further strain the nances
of many renters.
A 6 percent rise in apartment rents
between 2000 and 2012 has been exacerbat-
ed by a 13 percent drop in income among
renters nationally over the same period,
according to a report from Apartment List, a
rental housing website, which used ina-
tion-adjusted gures.
Thats what we call the affordability
gap, says John Kobs, Apartment Lists
chief executive. I dont see that improving
in the near future.
Demand for rental housing has grown as
the U.S. economy has strengthened since
the end of the Great Recession nearly ve
years ago. Steady job growth has made it
possible for more people to move out on
their own and rent their own apartments. Yet
rising home prices are preventing many
from buying.
A combination of rising rents and slug-
gish pay gains will likely continue to weigh
on the U.S. economy, which relies primari-
ly on consumer spending.
The trend is straining the nances of ten-
ants like Michael Strane.
Growing demand for U.S.
apartments pushes up rent

Reporting abuse
without fearing for safety
Editor,
I just read about the terrier mix
puppy that was abused and nally
killed (Dad to trial for torturing and
killing puppy in the March 28 edi-
tion of the Daily Journal). It sounded
as if someone in the household knew
the abuse was going on but was afraid
to report it while the puppy was still
alive. Perhaps they were hoping the
abuse would stop. It makes me wonder
if others in the household were being
abused. Obviously someone was
afraid of retribution. Our system must
change so those who witness or
receive any kind of abuse can report it
without fearing for their own safety.

Adhere to
Bridgepointe Master Plan
Editor,
The Bridgepointe Master Plan
should not be changed to allow the
ice rink to become another retail
establishment (Ice rink issue resur-
faces: Bridgepointe owners want to
amend general plan in the March 25
edition of the Daily Journal).
In 1996, the Master Plan required a
recreational amenity in the shopping
center. Later, the Master Plan was
updated to read ice rink or similar
recreation uses. Now the property
owner wants this changed so they can
open another retail store instead. We
should ask ourselves, who benet s
from this change? Not our communi-
t y. Not those who want a place where
people of various abilities can learn
to ice skate. Not those who want to
offer their children opportunities to
learn gure skating or ice hockey. Not
those who want a place to gather with
friends and family to enjoy ice skat-
ing right in our community.
There are a lot of retail establish-
ments in San Mateo. Why should we
allow the spirit of the Master Plan to be
changed for another retail outlet? We
have a great community asset in the
Master Plans specication for recre-
ation in Bridepointe. Lets not let it go.

Republican track record
Editor,
Republicans lied us into unneces-
sary wars with disastrous results. Then
they tried to lie us out of necessary
affordable health care for all, with dis-
astrous results for many if they had
succeeded. What a track record. Still,
voters out there who dont understand
well get more of the same if
Republicans are given the chance? For
the sake of the nation, dont let them.

Groom a solid
choice for supervisor
Editor,
I wholeheartedly agree with your
endorsement of Carole Groom for re-
election to District Two of the San
Mateo County Board of Supervisors
(Editorial: Groom for District Two
supervisor in the April 2 edition of
the Daily Journal).
She is always very well prepared,
thoughtful, a good listener and a
proven leader. She is extremely dedi-
cated to her district and the county.
She is well versed on all district and
county issues and has the proven
ability and track record to serve in
an outstanding fashion.

Google buses
Editor,
Progressive housing activists in
clown outfits blocked a Google shut-
tle bus in San Francisco to draw
attention to the Board of
Supervisors to vote to block the
tech shuttles from using Muni stops.
The vote was ultimately denied.
To be fair, Google did give almost
$7 million the very same day to San
Francisco to fund free Muni for low-
income youth. However, as any
clown can tell you, progressive pol-
itics are the same as any other and,
last I checked, low-income youth
werent a voting constituency.

Letters to the editor
The Post and Courier, Charleston, S.C.
T
he White House and a biparti-
san Congress nally appear to
moving in the right direction
with plans to end mass telephone data
collection by the National Security
Agency.
If implemented properly, the plans
will answer the main criticisms of the
NSAprogram by ending the mass cap-
ture of all U.S. telephone metadata
on a daily basis, the retention of this
data by the government for ve years
and its availability to intelligence
analysts without a specic judges
order.
Telephone companies would be
required to keep the metadata they col-
lect on every call for billing and other
company purposes for the 18 months
already prescribed by the Federal
Communications Commission, but
with the added requirement that they
keep it in a specic form required by
the federal government to facilitate
accountability.
Under the presidents proposal,
intelligence agencies would have to
get a judges order for a specic search
before they could access any of the
metadata. This is clearly preferable to
the House proposal that a judge grant
broad access and only review a query
once it had been answered by a tele-
phone company.
The government, in searching the
databases, would be limited to two
hops, meaning it could look for
information on the initial suspects
number, numbers it connected with,
and numbers that the rst hop batch
of numbers connected with. While
that is better than previous practice,
it is still a pretty large universe of
numbers, representing the phone
records of many American citizens.
The role of the federal Foreign
Intelligence Surveillance Court in
overseeing such searches will remain
a critical safeguard.
The approach, while still sketchy,
has won conditional approval from
privacy advocates including the
Electronic Privacy Information
Center and the American Civil
Liberties Union.
The proposals still have to be
enacted into law this year before
existing authority, known as section
215 of the Patriot Act, expires. In the
process, Congress needs to review
other NSAprograms that have taken
an expansive view of the reach of
Section 215, such as the alleged mass
surveillance of emails.

R
eports this week that Digital First Media, a
project of newspaper conglomerate MediaNews,
is shuttering its nascent initiative to centralize
production of national and digital news is reverberating
through the industry and may have direct impact on
papers in this area.
Dubbed Project Thunderdome, the idea was to have a
central location for national stories while local papers
concentrated on local news. An aside, the name should
have been the first clue this
idea was doomed. Was it really
named for the third (and terri-
ble) installment of the Mad
Max movies? And where would
Master Blaster fit into all
this? But back to the point,
the concept originated in
another effort for national
newspaper chains to somehow
keep up with the ever-chang-
ing news industry that has
been brought into warp speed
by the Internet. Thunderdome
was to organize national news
and digital content for a host of newspapers including
the San Jose Mercury News, the Denver Post and the Los
Angeles Daily News and their respective newspaper
groups. Word is that now the print publications in areas
around the country will soon be up for sale because of
the increasing losses in the print industry.
So what does that mean for you, oh Bay Area reader of
news? It may mean the Mercury News will once again be
up for sale. And its not just the one with that name at
the top. You see, the Mercury News is also the San
Mateo County Times, the Contra Costa Times and the
Oakland Tribune. Exact same paper, different names. It
was worked out that way so the Mercury News would
seem to have a larger circulation.
And depending on how this all goes down, changes
are surely afoot at these publications. But thats noth-
ing new. Newspapers have been in a whirlwind for the
past 15 years with ownership changes and restructuring.
When I first started as a journalist on the Peninsula in
1997, there were two newspapers the San Mateo
Weekly and the San Mateo County Times. But that has
changed.
Heres a quick rundown. The Fang-owned San Mateo
Weekly was part of the Independent Newspaper Group
with its flagship being the San Francisco Independent.
The San Mateo Weekly became the San Mateo
Independent then the Fangs bought the Examiner with a
nice subsidy from Hearst which bought the Chronicle.
The Fangs sold the Examiner to billionaire Phil
Anschutz which swallowed the Independent and eventu-
ally sold it in 2011 to Black Press Group Ltd., a
Canadian-based operator, which also bought the SF
Weekly and the San Francisco Bay Guardian. The
Examiner, while based in and focused on San Francisco,
still circulates on the Peninsula.
In 2000, the Daily Journal was started by venture cap-
italists who had already started the Berkeley Daily
Planet, which went out of business and the venture capi-
talists lost interest. Daily Journal Publisher Jerry Lee
led a buyout of the other investors in 2006 and has nav-
igated sometimes choppy waters by focusing on what
we do best local stories and local advertising.
In 2005, the Palo Alto Daily News was sold to Knight
Ridder, which also owned the Mercury News, that, in
2006, was sold to McClatchy that owns the Sacramento
Bee. About one month later, McClatchy sold the
Mercury News and the Daily News to MediaNews, which
owned the San Mateo County Times and the Oakland
Tribune. The Mercury News swallowed the Oakland
Tribune, the Contra Costa Times, the Marin Independent
Journal, the San Mateo County Times and the Santa Cruz
Sentinel, which are all now published as an edition of
the San Jose Mercury News. Thats why the poor sap
who pops quarters in the Mercury News box and the
County Times box expecting different news will be
sadly disappointed to be greeted by the exact same
newspaper aside from the name.
The Daily News has since shifted its focus south of
San Carlos and shares much of its content with the
Mercury News.
When the Daily News was sold, its previous owners
had a three-year noncompete agreement and the day that
was up in 2008 started the Palo Alto Daily Post, which
also distributes in this area.
But all this history may soon change again if the
Mercury News and its affiliates are up for sale. And at
this point, its all hearsay, but I cant imagine what
another restructuring may look like.

Big movers
By Steve Rothwell
NEW YORK The stock market
held close to its all-time high on
Thursday amid optimism that the
economy is set to strengthen.
Stocks are on course for their best
weekly gain in seven weeks after
investors got more encouraging news
on the economy. Asurvey showed that
U.S. service firms increased their
business more quickly last month as
new orders rose. Separate reports ear-
lier in the week had shown manufac-
turing strengthening, hiring picking
up, and sales of cars and trucks rising.
The news came ahead of the govern-
ments monthly jobs report, which
will be published Friday. Investors
expect to see a strong pickup in hir-
ing. Economists are forecasting that
the U.S. economy added 200,000 jobs
in March, according to FactSet. That
would be the biggest gain in hiring
since November.
If you have a decent economy, a
modestly growing economy, thats
supportive of corporate earnings and
stocks can continue to benefit from
that, said John Fox, director of
research at Fenimore Asset
Management.
The Standard & Poors 500 index
fell 2.13 points, or 0.1 percent, to
1,888.77. The index closed at an all-
time high of 1,890 a day earlier after
rising for four straight days. The Dow
Jones industrial average fell 0.45
point, or less than 0.1 percent, to
16, 572. 55. The Nasdaq composite
fell 38.72 points, or 0.9 percent, to
4, 237. 74.
Stocks started the day higher after
getting a lift from a report on the U.S.
service sector, a broad category of
businesses that includes banks, trans-
portation and construction.
The Institute for Supply
Managements non-manufacturing
index rose to 53.1 in March, up from
51.6 in February, indicating that
growth in the service sector is pick-
ing up. The survey also showed hiring
picking up.
However, by midmorning stocks
started to drift lower. Investors
seemed unwilling to place big bets on
the market before Fridays key jobs
report.
Going into the employment
report, a lot of people arent anxious
to open new positions, said J.J.
Kinahan, chief strategist with TD
Ameritrade. They dont want to be
taken by surprise.
Barnes & Noble was among the
days big losers.
The stock fell $2.99, or 13.5 per-
cent, to $19.12 after Liberty Media
said it was cutting its stake in the
company. Liberty Media, the invest-
ment company controlled by billion-
aire John Malone, gave Barnes &
Noble a lifeline in 2011 when it
bought a 17 percent stake in the com-
pany.
Biotechnology stocks also fell.
After surging at the start of the year,
biotech stocks have become volatile
amid concerns about the cost of the
drugs that theyre developing. The
S&Ps index of biotechnology stocks
fell 1.6 percent, paring its gains for
the year to about 1.2 percent. The
index had been up as much as 13 per-
cent by the end of February.
Googles stock split took effect
Thursday.
The technology companys new
Class C non-voting shares rose
$2.74, or 0.5 percent, to $569.74. Its
Class Ashares, which retained voting
rights, rose $3.40, or 0.6 percent, to
$571.50. The Class A shares, which
have been traded since the company
went public nearly a decade ago, now
trade under the ticker symbol
GOOGL. The Class C shares inherit-
ed the GOOG ticker symbol.
In government bond trading, bond
prices rose. The yield on the 10-year
Treasury note fell to 2.79 percent
from 2.80 percent on Wednesday. The
price of oil rose 67 cents, or 0.7 per-
cent, to $100.29 a barrel. Gold fell
$6.20, or 0.5 percent, to $1,284.60
an ounce
Stocks slip, but hold close to all-time high
By Josh Boak
WASHINGTON Entering the 2014
spring buying season, the U.S. hous-
ing market faces an unusual dilemma:
Too few people are selling homes. Yet
too few buyers can afford the homes
that are for sale.
Both sides of the equation are in a
funk, said Glenn Kelman, CEO of the
real estate brokerage Redn.
A 13.4 percent jump in the average
price of a home sold last year, accord-
ing to the Standard & Poors/Case-
Shiller 20-city index, hasnt managed
to coax more homeowners to sell. And
combined with higher mortgage rates,
higher prices have made homes cost-
lier for rst-time buyers as well as for
all-cash investors.
Average prices nationally are
expected to rise by single digits this
year. The gains could be strongest in
areas with solid job growth, such as
Seattle and Austin, Texas. And while
construction will put more homes on
the market, lack of affordability could
keep sales at to falling.
On the other hand, many lenders are
easing the barriers for those with less-
than-sterling credit. For these people,
qualifying for a mortgage could
become a little easier.
All of which leaves real estate, much
like the rest of the economy, still
trudging back to health nearly a half-
decade after the recession ended. After
last years growth spurt, the housing
recovery may have begun an awkward
adolescence, one prone to fits and
starts that can defy predictions.
Home market: Few buyers, not enough sellers
New Mexico Democrats
urge restraint on Tesla incentives
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. Adozen legislators and other
Democrats say New Mexico shouldnt go overboard in
granting tax breaks to Tesla Motors so the electric car com-
pany locates a battery plant in the state.
In a letter to the Albuquerque Journal, the Democrats said
any bid to attract the plant shouldnt rely solely on tax
breaks.
Arizona, California and Texas also are trying to win the
$5 billion battery plant.
The New Mexico Democrats letter said the state cant
afford to give up so much future tax revenue to Tesla that edu-
cation and other needs arent met. It also says incentives for
Tesla shouldnt cause other taxpayers to pay more.
While the letter described Tesla as a cutting-edge carmak-
er that could have a positive impact on New Mexicos econ-
omy, it argued that the state has lost money in previous
deals with out-of-state corporations.
Republican Gov. Susana Martinez has said she might con-
sider calling a special legislative session on economic
incentives to make New Mexico more appealing to Tesla.
Mozilla CEO resigns after furor over gay rights
Mozilla co-founder Brendan Eich is stepping down as
CEO and leaving the company following protests over his
support of a gay marriage ban in California.
The nonprot that makes the Firefox browser infuriated
many employees and users last week by naming Eich head
of the Mountain View-based organization.
At issue was Eichs $1,000 donation in 2008 to the cam-
paign to pass Californias Proposition 8, a constitutional
amendment that outlawed same-sex marriages. The ban was
overturned last year when the U.S. Supreme Court left in
place a lower-court ruling striking down the ballot measure.
Eichs contribution had drawn negative attention in the
past but took on more weight when he was named CEO.
Mozilla employees and users criticized the move on Twitter
and elsewhere online. Earlier this week, dating website
OKCupid replaced its usual homepage for users logging in
with Firefox with a note suggesting they not use Mozillas
software to access the site.
U.S. reaches $5.15
billion environmental settlement
WASHINGTON The federal government on Thursday
reached a $5.15 billion settlement with Anadarko Petroleum
Corp., the largest ever for environmental contamination, to
settle claims related to the cleanup of thousands of sites
tainted with hazardous chemicals for decades.
The bulk of the money $4.4 billion will pay for
environmental cleanup and be used to settle claims stem-
ming from the legacy contamination.
The settlement resolves a legal battle over Tronox Inc., a
spinoff of Kerr-McGee Corp., a company Anadarko acquired
in 2006.

Friday April 4, 2014
By Bob Baum
PHOENIX The San Francisco Giants
ended their four-game series with Arizona
the same way they opened it with a come-
from-behind victory.
Angel Pagan hit a three-run home run in
San Franciscos ve-run eighth inning and
the Giants beat Arizona 8-5 on Thursday in
a game that was halted briey in the top of
the rst due to a swarm of bees in the out-
eld.
Paul Goldschmidt and Mark Trumbo each
hit two-run homers and Arizona led 5-3 after
seven, but the Giants teed off on reliever
Will Harris (0-1) in the eighth to take three
of four games from the Diamondbacks.
Were just trying to be patient, not pan-
icking when were trailing on the score-
board, Pagan said. And its been working.
Everybodys putting the best at-bat possi-
ble for the next guy to get the job done. It
happened to me in that at-bat.
Brandon Belt hit his third home run of the
series and Brandon Hicks had a pinch-hit
solo shot for the Giants, who had rallied
from four down to win the series opener
Monday.
Belt, who had no homers and just two
RBIs in the spring, joined Barry Bonds,
Willie Mays and Kevin Mitchell as the only
Giants with three homers in the rst four
games of a season.
I said before the season I would hit 74
home runs, he quipped. So well see what
happens.
Goldschmidt homered in the first
inning off Tim Lincecum, his sixth homer
in 21 career at-bats against the Giants
right-hander.
Im going to start throwing underhand to
him, Lincecum said. I dont know, Ive
just got to gure out something.
Jean Machi (2-0) got one out for the
victory.
Machi also got the win in the season
opener.
Goldschmidt extended his hitting streak
to 25 games, second-longest in franchise
history. He also doubled to improve to 12 of
23 against Lincecum with 13 RBIs.
With a pair of season-opening losses to
the Los Angeles Dodgers in Australia,

Daily Journal GirlsSoccer Player of the Year Jillienne Aguilera was a big addition to Woodsides
Central Coast Section squad.The freshman scored 23 goals in 24 games in 2013-14.
By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
As a freshman last season, Woodside
striker Jillienne Aguilera wasnt sure she
wanted to play at the varsity level her
first year.
Coach Jose Navarrete and the Wildcats are
glad she did.
In her first varsity soccer game against
perennial Central Coast Section power
Los Altos, Aguilera recorded a hat trick.
Thats when Navarrete knew he had some-
thing special.
She just exploded from the very rst
game, Navarrete said. I didnt start her
against Los Altos. She came off the bench
and scored three goals in 20 minutes.
And Aguilera hasnt stopped. After nding
the back of the net 15 times last season in
helping lead the Wildcats to their rst CCS
title since 1977, the sophomore took her
game to another level this season, scoring
23 goals in 24 games, and adding six
assists, as she helped her team to a second
straight Peninsula Athletic League Bay
Division title and a spot in the CCS cham-
pionship game for the second year in a row.
She was held without a goal in just three
games and recorded at least one point (a goal
or an assist) in 23 of 24 games. The only
game she was held without a point was in
the Wildcats 2-0 loss to Mitty in the CCS
Division title game.
There may have been other players who
scored more goals and accumulated more
points but, given the rugged nature of the
Wildcats schedule, it can be argued that no
one scored more important goals than
Aguilera.
Its for that reason she is the Daily
Journals Girls Soccer Player of the Year.
I was pretty satised with what I accom-
plished. But like any player, I feel like I
could have done more, Aguilera said. I felt
pressure (this season) because there were
[news stories] that said I was going to be
one of the top goal scorers. But I felt like it
made me play better and gave me a goal to

Menlo-Atherton swept winless Sequoia in
Peninsula Athletic League Bay Division
swimming Thursday. But on a day of M-A
dominance, it gures the most noteworthy
Sequoia swimmer would be Michael Ma.
Still just a sophomore, Ma swam in each
of three events won by the Cherokees var-
sity boys. Ma captured two individual
events with a 2:02.76 in the 200 individual
medley and backed it up
with a win in the 100
backstroke in 58.72 sec-
onds. He also swan the
third leg of the 200 med-
ley relay which Sequoia
won in 1:47.69.
Anatural swimmer who
first starting competing
at age 6, Ma has already
qualied for the Central
Coast Section playoffs in the 200 individ-
ual medley and the 100 back. And according
to Sequoia boys coach Francisco Andaluz,
Ma is a coachs dream.
When youre an all-year swimmer, you
have a lot of advantage, Andaluz said. You
make it easy for your high school coach.
Ma said he began swimming at such a
young age because his father essentially
tossed him in the pool and taught him how
to stay aoat. It was immediately fun in the
sun for the young Ma, but the reason he
stuck with it though was because of a trophy
he received as a youngster while competing
for the Redwood City Sharks.
That just made me so excited that it made
me want to keep swimming, Ma said.
Now he receives so many ribbons, he
doesnt even keep them anymore. But the
sophomore said he is focused the CCS meet
May 16-17 at the Santa Clara Swim Center.
Menlo-Atherton went on to a clean
sweep, winning boys varsity 96-60, girls
varsity 113-36, boys junior-varsity 116-
50 and girls junior-varsity 154-32.

OAKLAND Coco Crisp homered lead-
ing off the bottom of the 12th inning to lift
the Oakland Athletics to a 3-2 win over the
Seattle Mariners on Thursday night.
Crisp, who scored the tying run with two
outs in the eighth inning, hit a towering
home run off Seattle reliever Hector Noesi
(0-1) on an 0-1 pitch. The ball landed just
above the out-of-town scoreboard in right
field. Its the sixth game-ending hit of
Crisps career.
Yoenis Cespedes and Sam Fuld also drove in
runs for Oakland, which rallied from two runs
down for its rst walkoff win of the season.
Drew Pomeranz (1-0), the fth As pitcher,
worked one scoreless inning for the win.
Abraham Almonte had two hits and an RBI
for Seattle. The Mariners were coming off a
series sweep of Anaheim and were attempt-
ing to go 4-0 for the rst time since 1985.
After scoring 28 runs in the three games
against the Angels, Seattles offense man-
aged just six hits against Oakland and
stranded seven base runners.
The Mariners scored in the rst without
the benet of a hit.
Almonte hit a grounder that went through
the legs of Oakland infielder Alberto
Callaspo, who was making his rst career
start at rst base. Second baseman Nick
Punto chased down the ball in right eld but
threw wildly back to the bag for another
error, allowing Almonte to take second.
Two batters later, Canos groundout scored
Almonte.
Almontes RBI single off Oakland starter
Jesse Chavez in the fth drove in Logan
Morrison and made it 2-0.
That put Seattle starter Roenis Elias in
shape to become the rst Cuban-born pitch-
er to win a game for Seattle before the
Mariners bullpen gave up the lead.
Elias, an all-star in the minors a year ago,
allowed one runs and two hits in ve effec-
tive innings but left with a no-decision. The
Crisps home run
lifts As past Ms
in extra innings

2013-14 San Mateo Daily Journal Girls Soccer Player of the Year
Michael Ma
made me play better and gave me a goal to
accomplish.
Navarrete credits Aguileras tenacity,
speed and nose for the goal for turning her
into a force to be reckoned with, not only in
the PAL but in CCS.
You have to, as a coach, really appreciate
what she can do. Ive never coached a kid
who has that kind of tenacity, Navarrete
said. She just has a willingness to just
compete and just wants to do better and bet-
ter and better. The best thing about it is,
shes only a sophomore.
The one aspect of Aguileras game that
makes her such a dangerous player is her
speed. At 5-11, she has long strides that can
gobble up real estate in a hurry. No ball is
ever seemingly out of reach. The Woodside
defense has the luxury of just sending long
balls out of the back and let Aguilera chase
them down.
Fifty-50 balls suddenly become 70-30
balls to Aguileras advantage when she goes
after them and the pressure she can put on
defenses can rattle even the most veteran
defender.
From what I remember, people always
told me I was fast. It makes me play bet-
ter. With my speed, I can get the ball from a
defender and score or dribble up the line and
beat a defender, Aguilera said. Sometimes
[my teammates] underestimate how fast I
can be. Sometimes I tell them its easier
for me to chase the ball instead of having to
ght for it. .. Whatever they give me, I try
my hardest to get there.
Navarrete said Aguileras speed takes
some of the focus off her shot, which he said
is one of the best hes ever seen.
What people dont realize is that she
doesnt just have world-class speed,
Navarrete said. She has an unbelievable
strike at goal. She has a professional strike.
She runs away from the competition so she
rarely has to [display her striking ability].
Despite Aguileras goal-scoring prowess,
shes denitely helped by a team that can
score goals in bunches. Apair of freshmen
Isabella Bescara and Alex Augulis
scored 14 and six goals, respectively, while
junior midelder Lauren Holland added six
goals and a team-leading 13 assists.
It made me feel better that I didnt have to
score every single game, Aguilera said. It
made me feel even more part of the team.
As the Wildcats lose four starters to gradu-
ation next season, Aguilera will most likely
become one of the main leaders on the team.
Navarrete believes she will naturally grow
into the role and believes the sky is the
limit for Aguilera.
As a freshman, I said, This kid is really
condent, Navarrete said. This year, she
just took off out of the gate and never
stopped. Shes matured so much. Now,
she wants to get on the eld and dominate
and (has the attitude of), I want to be the
show.
In order to play this game, you have to
have confidence that borders on cocky.
Shes not cocky, but she is very condent.
And despite Aguileras ability to make
defenses game-plan specically for her, she
goes into every game feeling she has to
prove herself all over again.
I take it game by game, Aguilera said.
Before every single game, wed always
[ask] which is the most important game? It
was the next one. My goal, every game,
I tell myself I want to score one goal, or
make one really good pass, or make an
assist.
Aguilera does that more often than not.

Sequoia 7, El Camino 0
The Cherokees red their second team
shutout in as many days for the Cherokees
Thursday as right-hander Cameron
Greenough allowed just one hit over six
innings of work to pick up the win. The sen-
ior struck out nine en route to improving ot
2-1. Sequoia erupted for ve runs in the
fourth inning. Zane Gelphman had two dou-
bles and two RBIs and Liam Clifford also
tabbed two RBIs. With the win, Sequoia
evens up its Ocean Division record at 3-3
and improves to 9-3-1 overall.
Woodside 3, Kings Academy 12
Wildcats starting pitch Ryan Yedinak
lasted just three innings after Kings
Academy put up ve runs in the rst and
continued to add on. Woodside (2-3 in
Ocean, 2-11 overall) couldnt produce a
clutch hit to get it going, stranding the
bases loaded in the first and the sixth.
Senior center elder Brad Degnan had three
hits as did sophomore leadoff man Joe
Arsan. The loss is Woodsides third straight
in Ocean Division play after dropping two
games to El Camino last week.

College baseball
Caada 1, Cabrillo 0
The Colts leapfrogged into first place by
winning a critical Coast Pacific
Conference matchup with a dramatic one-
run victory in 13 innings. After locking up
with Cabrillo for 12 innings of scoreless
ball, Caada got on the board with an RBI
from Maurice Fuller to score Drew Gray
with the eventual game-winner. Ryan De
Gregorio tabbed the win with two scoreless
innings of relief to improve to 3-0. Both
teams starters, Cabrillos Nat Hamby and
Caadas Sam Alton, went into overtime to
take no decisions. Hamby threw 10
innings of three-hit shutout ball, while
Alton worked 11 innings. The Colts now
pace the Coast Pacific (11-4 in conference,
17-7 overall) with Cabrillo (11-5, 14-14) a
half game back.
CSM 7, CCSF 1
College of San Mateo cruised to victory
at home Thursday, banging out 11 hits
while taking advantage of five San
Francisco errors. Bulldogs third baseman
Steve Pastora was 4 for 5 with three RBIs,
while Dane Vande Guchte added a 3-for-5
day hitting out of the No. 2 spot. CSM
starter Sam Hellinger worked seven
innings of two-hit ball to earn the win,
improving to 3-1. Third-place CSM (10-4
in Coast Golden Gate, 16-10 overall)
remains 1 1/2 games back of first-place
Chabot after the Gladiators triumphed in a
25-0 route of De Anza.
Skyline 4, Gavilan 3
The Trojans trailed 3-0 after the rst but
battled back to overtake the Rams in the late
innings. In the sixth, Dabian Canales
tripled home Lance Montano with the tying
run. Then in the seventh, Joey Carney had
an RBI knock to plate Nobu Suzuki to score
the eventual game-winner. Freshman right-
hander Aldo Severson earned the rst win of
his collegiate career, working seven
innings to improve to 1-1. Bryan Hidalgo
tabbed his fourth save with two innings of
shutout ball to close it out. With the win,
Skyline improves to 7-8 in Coast Pacic
play, four games back of rst-place Caada
with nine game to play.

By virtue of two consecutive scoreless
outings, College of San Mateo right-hander
Keone Cabinian was named the Northern
California Pitcher of the Week for the week
of March 22-29 by the California
Community College
Baseball Coaches
Association.
The freshman went four
scoreless innings in relief
March 22 in CSMs 5-4
loss to Chabot, after
which Cabinian was
tabbed for his second start
of the year March 29 at
West Valley. Because the
game was postponed due to rain, however, the
teams matched up March 30 at CSM with
Cabinian ring a ve-hit shutout in a 3-0 win.
We certainly like that he stepped up
and hes got the stuff to do it, CSM man-
ager Doug Williams said. Hes competi-
tive and hes certainly a big piece of
the puzzle here.
The Bulldogs have featured a solid group
of freshman arms this year. Only one start
thus far has fallen to a sophomore, that
being Skylar Fuss who has worked 11 of his
12 appearances in relief to pace the team out
of the pen. Thursdays winning pitcher over
City College of San Francisco, freshman
Sam Hellinger, leads the team with nine
starts. Freshman Conyal Cody has made
eight starts.
The third spot in the rotation had been
shared between four other pitchers until
Cabinian emerged Sunday. But while he is on
track to remain in the rotation, Williams said
he could be used in any pitching role as the
Bulldogs enter the stretch run in third place,
2 1/2 games back of rst-place Chabot.
Were getting down the stretch here,
Williams said. Were going to be using
people whenever theyre needed. I would say
hes certainly amenable to that. Hes a team
guy. Hes pitched himself into the rotation
and hes also up for being used at any time
to help the team win.

Christine Alftins life is nonstop volley-
ball. And thats just the way she likes it.
Actually, likes might be an understate-
ment. Earlier this season, the Woodside sen-
ior led the Wildcats to a Central Coast
Section berth just two years after the team
went winless in Peninsula Athletic League
play. Evidently that was merely a warm-up
for the real grind of club volleyball season.
Alftin is one of an array of superstars
playing for Vision 18 Gold, a travel
team based in Los Gatos and one of the
most prestigious national club teams on
the planet.
And how does the second-year veteran
of the club volleyball circuit plan to trav-
el when Vision competes in Sundays
Northern California Power League in
Clovis? She will roll in style, of course.
My family, we take our RVthere the night
before and park in the parking lot so
were the rst ones there right on the curb,
Alftin said. Just get ready in the morning
and step out on the court ready to go.
Being at the front of the line might not
sound like a big deal to high school volley-
ball goers. Unlike the one-court gymnasi-
ums that house most varsity matches, how-
ever, club venues oftentimes at major met-
ropolitan convention centers are meticu-
lously organized chaos. Imagine opening
day at the World Series of Poker, but replace
the poker tables with volleyball courts.
Vision 18 Gold has already competed at
two such venues in a pair of qualier tourna-
ments for the 2014 Volleyball Girls Junior
National Championships. Vision earned
passage to the Junior Nationals by winning
bids at each; rst with a second-place nish
at the Denver qualier March 14-16 at the
Colorado Convention Center, then another
in celebrating gold with a rst-place nish
at the Los Angeles qualier March 21-23 at
the Los Angeles Convention Center.
And pretty much every player to step on
the court at such an event has their eyes on
the same prize a trip to the Junior
National Championships starting July 27
in Minneapolis.
Every team is ghting for their life to
get the bid because everybody wants to go
to Nationals, Alftin said. So, those (qual-
ier) tournaments are extra competitive.
In her second season with Vision 18 Gold,
Alftin had the opportunity to get acclimated to
the Junior National spotlight last year when
the team competed for the 2013 title in Dallas.
Alftins Vision squad nished 17th overall.
It was a remarkable run for a team built
around three players who, at the time, were
high school juniors. Alftin was one of them
along with Maddie Dilfer (Valley Christian)
and Joli Holland (Dublin). The three are a
trio in a long tradition of Vision 18 Gold
standouts to play ahead of their age level for
head coach Jason Manseld.
For the second straight year, Alftin has
shined as a six-rotation cornerstone talent.
And the Cal-committed 6-foot outside hitter
has long garnered a reputation of being a
complete player.
Shes probably our best server, shes
passing every rotation, and shes really
improved defensively, Manseld said. We
set her a ton out of the back row, so shes
pretty valuable back there. Her front-row
stuff kind of goes without saying. She de-
nitely gets the most sets for us when shes up
there and shes improving as a blocker. But
in the back row, she scores a ton of points for
us with her serve and we set her a ton.
Manseld, as assistant coach at Stanford,
is used to seeing his Vision players go on to
competing programs at the collegiate level.
In his 14th year as Visions head coach, he
has coached such Vision greats as Amanda
Gil, now an assistant coach with Vision 18
Gold who played college ball at
Washington; Katherine Douglas, a former
Woodside standout who played at Santa
Clara; and Michelle Neumayr, a Burlingame
great who recently nished her sophomore
season at Cal.
Manselds mission in coaching his club
players, though, is to build complete play-
ers who are impossible for competitors to
scout even for himself, as a competitor,
down the road.
To be honest, if I were to coach against
[Alftin] right now, I dont know what Id
do, Manseld said. Shes such a complete
player, which is a testament to her.
In the thick of a club season that is go-go-
go, Alftin and her teammates got some rare
days off this week. Manseld gave the squad
March 29-30 off after two previous week-
ends spent globetrotting. For instance,
after wrapping up their rst Junior National
bid March 16, the Vision girls ew out of
Denver at 1 a.m. the following Monday,
which saw Alftin arrive promptly for school
at Woodside that morning. After a busy
week of practice, Vision did it all over again
the next weekend to win gold at the Los
Angeles qualier.
Yet the only complaints out of Alftin are
performance related. Even though Visions
silver medal in Denver gave them an auto-
matic bid to Nationals, Alftin admitted the
team was overmatched in its championship
matchup with rst-place Northern Lights
out of Minneapolis. And even in taking
gold in Los Angeles, Alftin said the champi-
onship win over T-Street of Southern
California came denoted with an asterisk
because T-Streets best player, Haley
Hudson, did not play in the match.
Northern Lights was actually one of the
big reasons why Vision 18 Gold didnt
finish higher that 17th at last years
National Championship. Vision didnt
make it out of pool play consisting of
four pools of eight teams after being
grouped with the three teams who went on
to medal, imcluding eventual gold-medal
winner Texas Advantage 18 Black.
We battled with those team but we just
werent as physically gifted as those
teams, Manseld said. This year, we are as
physically gifted, more physically gifted
than we were last year. So, I think our
chances are good. Weve proved we can play
with anyone but weve also lost a couple
matches to teams that are just better than us
right now. So, I think it just proves that
were not quite there yet, which is a good
thing to know. Hopefully well continue to
get better these next three months because
those teams are going to continue to get
better as well.
With a current overall record of 40-5,
Vision 18 Gold is shooting for the stars.
And Alftins aim is point-blank simple.
What is that aim?
Gold, she said. Always.

Arizona has started the season 1-5.
Bronson Arroyo, sidelined most of the spring with a sore
back, was lifted after 4 1-3 innings in his Diamondbacks
debut.
Pagan, who had three hits, homered on the rst pitch after
the Giants tied it at 5.
It was down and over the plate, Arizona manager Kirk
Gibson said. He is very aggressive and he smoked it.
With the Diamondbacks leading 5-3,
Hunter Pence drew a one-out walk in
the eighth and scored on Hector
Sanchezs double. Pinch-hitter Buster
Posey was walked intentionally and
Michael Morses pinch-hit single up
the middle tied it. That brought up
Pagan, who hit the first pitch into the
swimming pool area in right field to
put San Francisco on top.
Arizonas Aaron Hill had three hits,
including an RBI double, and scored twice.
Belts two-out homer off Arroyo in the first inning,
his third in his first 14 at-bats this season, put the
Giants up 1-0.
Hill singled with one out in the Arizona first to bring
up Golsdschmidt, who hit the first pitch he saw into the
pool area.
San Francisco tied it at 2-all in the fourth. Pablo Sandoval
led off with a double down the left eld line, advanced to
third on Pences single and scored on Sanchezs sacrice y
to center.
Arroyo gave up a leadoff double to Pagan to start the fth.
Pagan took third on Gregor Blancos sacrice bunt and
Arroyos day was over. Left-hander Oliver Perez got Belt
and Sandoval to pop out to end the threat.
Hicks shot to left off Josh Collmenter with one out in the
seventh cut the lead to 4-3. It was his fourth career homer,
rst as a pinch hitter.
Arizona added a run with two outs in the seventh, Hill dou-
bling to the wall in left off Machi to score Gerardo Parra
from rst.
Giants head to Chavez Ravine
After opening the season in Australia and San Diego, the
Dodgers are nally coming home.
They host the rival San Francisco Giants on Friday, when
Hyun-Jin Ryu will make his third start in ve games. He
replaces scheduled starter Clayton Kershaw, whos on the
disabled list for the rst time in his career with a strained
muscle and is likely to be sidelined for a month or longer.
Los Angeles fans attending the sold out game will get
their rst up-close look at baseballs highest-paid team,
with the Dodgers $234 million payroll moving them ahead
of the second-place New York Yankees.
The guys are ready to go out there and show them that we
can play, second baseman Dee Gordon said. Big rivals,
LAcrowd, and Im happy. Its going to be good.
The Dodgers are coming home leading the NLWest with a
4-1 record. The Giants are in second place at 2-1 and will
start Ryan Vogelsong.

RANCHO MIRAGE Michelle
Wie let a couple of shots slip away
late Thursday afternoon in the
Kraft Nabisco Championship,
leaving her a shot behind
Shanshan Feng.
Tied for the lead after playing a
four-hole stretch in 5 under, Wie
lipped out a 3-foot par putt on the
par-3 17th, then settled for par and a
5-under 67 after her wedge approach
released long on the par-5 18th.
Ill take it, Wie said. Ill take
a 67 here.
Feng shot a 66 in perfect morn-
ing conditions at Mission Hills
in the first major championship
of the year. The 24-year-old
Chinese player had seven birdies
and a bogey.
This morning, it was playing
easier because there was no wind,
Feng said. The pin positions
werent that hard. We actually had
a lot of birdie chances.
Se Ri Pak birdied her nal hole
to match Wie at 67. The 36-year-
old Pak won the last of her ve
major titles in
2006.
Just a solid
round, Pak
said. The
greens got a lit-
tle rmer, but I
got pretty good
distance con-
trol.
Angel Yin, a
15-year-old high school freshman
from the Los Angeles suburb of
Arcadia, was another stroke back
at 68 with Amy Yang.
Wie birdied the par-5 ninth and
par-4 10th, made a 25-foot eagle
putt on the par-5 11th and moved
into a tie for the lead with a 15-
foot birdie putt on the par-4 12th.
She got up-and-down for par from
near a steep face in a bunker on the
par-4 15th, hitting to 1 1/2 feet
with her left foot almost 2 feet
above her right.
I think Duncan (French, her
caddie) and I did a really good job
of course management, Wie said.
Just was aggressive on the holes
I needed to be and conservative on
the other holes.
Wie is making her 12th start in
the tournament. She was ninth in
2003 at age 13, fourth the fol-
lowing year and tied for third at
16 in 2006.
I think when youre younger
youre kind of fearless, Wie said.
You dont know what failure is.
Wie has two LPGA Tour victo-
ries, winning the 2009 Lorena
Ochoa Invitational in Mexico and
the 2010 Canadian Womens
Open. She has been in the top 16
in all ve of her starts this year,
nishing a season-best fourth in
Thailand.
Im so grateful to have rounds
like these, Wie said.
Feng won the 2012 LPGA
Championship to become the tours
rst Chinese winner and had two
victories late last year. She tied for
16th last week in the Kia Classic.
The beginning of this year I
was kind of a little lost because I
lost a little weight and my swing
kind of changed a little, Feng
said. I wasnt swinging very
comfortably.
Paired with 58-year-old Hall of
Famer Amy Alcott, Feng rebound-
ed from a bogey on 15 with a
birdie on par-4 16th and closed
with two pars.
She was actually encouraging
me, Feng said about Alcott. Like
I made a bogey on 15, and she was
like, OK, lets make two birdies
back in the last three holes. I was
like, Yes, maam. Then I only
made one.
Alcott shot an 81 in her 36th
start in the event she won in 1983,
1988 and 1991. In 1988, she
became the rst player to take the
now-traditional victory leap into
Poppies Pond.
She was very sweet starting off
and we were talkative, Alcott
said. She hits it very solid. Just a
very, very talented young player. I
was very impressed with her put-
ting and just her overall game, just
how she managed herself on the
golf course.
Anna Nordqvist, the winner last
week in Carlsbad for her second
victory of the year, opened with a
71. Playing partner Stacy Lewis,
the 2011 winner, had a 73. She
struggled off the tee, hitting
drives to the right.
The good thing is Im hitting
my irons well and hitting some
good putts, Lewis said. If I can
straighten out my driver Ill be
right there.
Sixteen-year-old Lydia Ko also
shot 73.
I didnt hit my driver that well,
Ko said.
Karrie Webb, also a two-time
winner this year, was in the group
at 73, and defending champion
Inbee Park had a 74. Park is strug-
gling with her putting after domi-
nating on the greens last year
when she swept the first three
majors and won six times.
The opportunities I had, I did-
nt make the putts, Park said.
Yin was asked if there was a
player she wanted to meet, but was
too shy to approach.
Michelle Wie, Yin said. If she
sat next to me and said Hi to me,
Id probably run.
The 24-year-old Wie laughed
when told about Yins response.
Its crazy. Its pretty insane,
Wie said. These girls are starting
to make me feel really old.

NEW YORK Sandy Grossman,
who directed a record 10 Super Bowl
broadcasts and spent more than two
decades in the TV truck working with
announcers Pat Summerall and John
Madden, has died. He was 78.
Grossman died Wednesday at his
home in Boca Raton, Fla., of cancer,
his son Dean said.
He could just make magic, Madden
told The Associated Press in a phone
interview Thursday.
When Madden, the former coach,
watched lm and practices to prepare for
calling games, Grossman was right
beside him. That homework paid off
when the analyst would make a point on
air and the director would immediately
pull up the right clip to illustrate it.
His amazing directorial talents on
the NFL truly distinguished him as one
of the great directors in the history of
sports television, CBS Sports
Chairman Sean McManus said.
Grossman also directed 18 NBA
Finals and ve Stanley Cup Finals. He
won eight Emmys.
He was a brilliant director and a
thoughtful colleague, Fox Sports
President Eric Shanks said. He men-
tored many of us here and throughout
the sports TV industry, and we learned
more from him than he could imagine.
His innovations included using
music to go into the break during bas-
ketball games. After Grossman played
The Hustle by Van McCoy, his son
recalled, sales of the song skyrocket-
ed, so the musician sent him gold
records as a thank you.
Visitors to his TV truck over the
years included Richard Nixon and
Oliver Stone, Dean Grossman said.
If there wasnt an envelope to push,
Sandy would create one, said former
Fox Sports Chairman David Hill, a
senior executive vice president for
News Corp.
As Madden put it, He had guts.
With producer Bob Stenner,
Grossman guided the celebrated part-
nership of Summerall and Madden, rst
at CBS then after their move to Fox.
The understated style of Summerall,
who died last April, paired with
Maddens booming enthusiasm
became the soundtrack of the NFLs
expanding popularity.
They created a behind-the-curtain
team which equaled the legendary
front-of-house team of Pat Summerall
and John Madden, Hill said. Watch
any NFL game, and you will see Sandy
Grossmans legacy. He was a legend.
He embraced watching game lm as a
director before that was standard prac-
tice. Madden recalled how Grossman
began isolating a camera on linemen
so the analyst could delve into the
nuances of the game.
All that preparation made Grossman
like a successful defensive coordinator
whos ready to handle anything the
offense brings, Madden said. In his
case, that meant sharp, seamless
broadcasts.
Ill see some old games he did, and
they still hold up, Madden said.
Grossman is survived by his wife of
51 years, Faithe, four children and
eight grandchildren.

SAN JOSE Captain Joe
Thornton set the tone by dishing
out hits almost every chance he
got. The rest of his San Jose team-
mates followed his lead as the
Sharks wanted to send a message
to the Los Angeles Kings in case
these California rivals meet again
with much more on the line in a
few weeks.
Joe Pavelski
and Logan
Couture scored
second-peri od
goals and the
Sharks clinched
h o m e - i c e
advantage in
the first round
of the playoffs
by beating the
Kings 2-1 on Thursday night in a
possible playoff preview.
I wanted to hit something
tonight, thats all. That was the
game plan, Thornton said. Were
starting to ramp up our game a lit-
tle bit. That was just the case
tonight. We might see these guys
in 12 days or so, so just play hard
and see what happens.
Thornton matched his career-
high with six hits and also nearly
got into a ght with Slava Voynov
in the second period as part of a
physical game between two teams
that have serious animosity
toward each other.
San Jose had a franchise-record
52 hits in all, including 10 by
Tommy Wingels, as the Sharks
didnt back down a bit against the
powerful Kings.
I liked fact that we stood our
ground and battled hard, coach
Todd McLellan said. The physical
battles, theyre known to win a lot
of those. We were in them for the
most part.
Antti Niemi made 26 saves and
the Sharks overcame a rst-period
decit to move within a point of
Anaheim for first place in the
Pacic Division. The Ducks still
have two games in hand and the
inside track on the top spot.
Jordan Nolan scored the lone
goal for the Kings, who had their
eight-game road losing streak
snapped by their first loss away
from home since Jan. 28 in
Phoenix. Martin Jones made 19
saves as starter Jonathan Quick
got rest a night after shutting
out the Coyotes to clinch a play-
off berth.
The Kings are locked into third
place in the division after the loss
and will play the Sharks in the rst
round unless San Jose passes
Anaheim in the standings.
We play similar styles, its in-
your-face hockey and if we do play
them in playoffs it would be fun to
watch, Nolan said.
Of more immediate concern was
an upper-body injury that knocked
star defenseman Drew Doughty out
midway through the rst period.
Doughty appeared to hurt his left
shoulder while checking Tyler
Kennedy.
There was no word on the extent
of Doughtys injury.
Anytime you lose a D-man
especially one of his caliber its a
big hole, defenseman Jake
Muzzin said. I thought we did well
trying to replace him.
These teams have met in two
of the past three postseasons
with San Jose winning a first-
round series in six games in
2011 and Los Angeles winning a
seven-game, second-round series
last spring.
The home team has won 16 of
the past 17 games in this series,
including all seven in last years
playoffs. The Kings were the only
road team to break through in that
stretch with a 1-0 win on Jan. 27.
The Sharks took over the play in
the second period, scoring twice
to take a 2-1 lead. The rst goal
came just 4 seconds after Kings
forward Dustin Brown was sent off
for roughing Andrew Desjardins.
Thornton won the ensuing face-
off from Jarret Stoll and the puck
got back to the point to Brent
Burns, whose shot deflected off
Pavelski to tie the game.
San Jose went ahead a few min-
utes later when Jones couldnt con-
trol a shot by Tommy Wingels and
Couture scored his 21st goal on a
wraparound.
Thats probably the best weve
played in a while, the most physi-
cal weve played in a while,
Couture said. Theyre a good team
over there, but I felt tonight we
were more physical. We played
pretty well.
The Kings threatened but could-
nt tie it in the third as Niemi
stopped Anze Kopitar in the nal
minute to seal it.
The Kings got on top early on a
double deflection as Alec
Martinezs point shot deected off
Jaret Stoll and then Nolan before it
beat Niemi less than 4 minutes
into the game.

Thirty years after its U.S. debut as a utili-
tarian, four-wheel drive truck with a ber-
glass cover on the back, the Toyota 4Runner
remains a different kind of family sport util-
ity vehicle.
Sure, the 2014 4Runner has seats for up to
seven passengers and can be stocked with
navigation system, leather-trimmed seats
and satellite radio some things never
envisioned for the old 4Runner. And now, a
rearview camera is standard, while exterior
styling has been refreshed for 2014.
But Toyotas long-running 4Runner has-
nt totally given up its rugged, ways.
The truckish body-on-frame construction
remains. The 4Runners two-wheel drive is
rear-wheel drive not the front-wheel drive
thats favored for many lighter-duty SUVs.
Four-wheel drive 4Runners include standard
low gearing and locking differential to han-
dle really treacherous terrain offroad.
Ground clearance of at least 9 inches puts
passengers high above it all on the way to
campgrounds, allowing the 4Runner to
straddle rocks and get through waterlogged
trails without vehicle damage.
Best of all, perhaps, the 2014 4Runner is
rated well above average in predicted relia-
bility by Consumer Reports magazine.
The 4Runner also was one of the top three
mid-size SUVs in dependability in the latest
J.D. Power and Associates study that looked
at 3-year-old vehicles.
No wonder Toyota reports nearly 2 mil-
lion 4Runners are still on the roads.
Starting manufacturers suggested retail
price, including destination charge, is
$33,680 for a 2014 4Runner SR5 with ve-
speed automatic transmission and two-
wheel drive.
The lowest starting retail price, including
destination charge, for a 2014 4Runner with
four-wheel drive is $35,555. All 4Runners
come with a 270-horsepower V-6.
Major competitors include the 2014
Nissan Pathnder, which comes with a 260-
horsepower V-6 and has a starting retail
price of $29,810 with two-wheel drive and
$31,410 with four-wheel drive. The
Pathnder comes with a continuously vari-
able transmission that a driver operates like
an automatic.

Cherokee has a starting MSRP, including

February when airport police arrested her
rst on March 18 and then March 26. Both
times Hartman freely admitted knowing she
was not allowed at the airport without a
boarding pass in her own name. When an
ofcer who found her in the baggage claim
area questioned if she had a ticket this last
time, Hartman reportedly said, No. I get
paid next Tuesday.
On Thursday, prosecutors dismissed
charges of trespassing and violating a court
order in the March 18 case in return for
Hartman pleading no contest to the exact
same counts in the March 26 incident. The
matter was referred to probation for a pre-
sentencing report and she was released on
her supervised own recognizance with the
order to stay away from SFO, said Chief
Deputy District Attorney Karen Guidotti.
Other terms of her negotiated plea deal
were not immediately available.
Hartmans cycle of arrest and release stem-
ming from the airport began in February
when she was arrested following three
attempts within ve days to board Hawaii-
bound ights with a ticket. The rst time
she got on board but was discovered when
the actual ticket holder arrived at the seat.
The next two times, including once when
she used a discarded boarding pass, she was
stopped at the security gate. After her arrest
following the third attempt to sneak
through security, Hartman reportedly told
authorities she has cancer and wanted to go
somewhere warm.
Hartman pleaded no contest on Feb. 27 to
two misdemeanor counts of commercial bur-
glary and received credit for time served
along with the order to stay away unless she
had a ticket in her own name. On March 18,
she was arrested at the food court past the
security checkpoint with her probation
paperwork in her purse and told the arresting
ofcer she felt safer at the airport than her
Third Street apartment in San Francisco. A
judge scheduled an Aug. 4 jury trial and let
her out of custody.
On March 26, she was arrested in the
Terminal Three baggage claim and held on
$7,500 bail until yesterdays resolution.

See TOYOTA, Page 17
committee chairwoman, said. The report
exposes brutality that stands in sharp con-
trast to our values as a nation. It chronicles a
stain on our history that must never be
allowed to happen again. This is not what
Americans do.
The intelligence committee and the CIAare
embroiled in a bitter dispute related to the
three-year study. Senators accuse the agency
of spying on their investigation and deleting
les. The CIA says Senate staffers illegally
accessed information. The Justice
Department is reviewing competing criminal
referrals.
As a result of Thursdays vote, the CIAwill
start scanning the reports contents for any
passages that could compromise national
security. That has led to fears in the commit-
tee that a recalcitrant CIAmight sanitize key
elements of their investigation, and demands
for President Barack Obama to ensure large
parts of the report arent blacked out.
Obama, said Sen. Mark Udall, D-Colo.,
should hold onto the redaction pen him-
self.
White House press secretary Jay Carney on
Thursday restated Obamas support for declas-
sifying the document and said intelligence
ofcials would be instructed to conduct the
work quickly. CIA spokesman Dean Boyd
said his agency would carry out the review
expeditiously, but suggested the process
may be difcult.
We owe it to the men and women directed
to carry out this program to try and ensure
that any historical account of it is accurate,
Boyd said.
The report was produced exclusively by
Democratic staffers. It concludes among
other things that waterboarding and other
harsh techniques provided no key evidence in
the hunt for Osama bin Laden, according to
congressional aides and outside experts
familiar with the document.
Feinstein and other senators also have
cited a series of misleading claims by the CIA
over the years about the effectiveness of the
program, including in statements the agency
made to President George W. Bush and
Congress.
Sen. Saxby Chambliss of Georgia, the
intelligence committees top Republican,
joined the vote in favor of declassication
despite criticizing the report as a waste of
time. He said the U.S. public should be able
to see the report alongside reservations
among the GOP members of the committee.
This is a chapter in our past that should
have already been closed, Chambliss told
reporters. He said Republicans would dispute
some of the conclusions in their own report
and insisted the CIA interrogations led not
only to the takedown of bin Laden, but to the
interruption and disruption of other terrorist
plots over a period of years.
Members of the intelligence community
have criticized the investigation for failing
to include interviews from top spy agency
ofcials who authorized or supervised the
brutal interrogations. They questioned how
the review could be fair or complete.
Neither I or anyone else at the agency who
had knowledge was interviewed, said Jose
Rodriguez, the CIAs chief clandestine ofcer
in the mid-2000s, who had operational over-
sight over the detention and interrogation
program. They dont want to hear anyone
elses narrative, he said of the Senate inves-
tigation. Its an attempt to rewrite history.
Rodriguez himself is a key gure in the
Senate report, not least for his order in 2005
to destroy 92 videotapes showing water-
boarding of terror suspects and other harsh
techniques.
Senate investigators were unable to talk to
relevant CIA ofcials because of legal con-
straints posed by a separate investigation
ordered by Attorney General Eric Holder. At
Holders direction, John Durham, an inde-
pendent prosecutor, conducted several crimi-
nal probes related to interrogation methods
and evidence destruction before dropping
them altogether in 2012 shortly before
the Senate panel wrapped up its work.
Congressional aides said the CIAs own
eld reports, internal correspondence, cables
and other documents described day-to-day
handling of interrogations and the decision-
making and actions of Rodriguez and others.
Republican Sens. Marco Rubio of Florida,
Dan Coats of Indiana and Jim Risch of Idaho
voted against releasing the report.
Too much time, energy and too many
resources have been spent investigating a
CIA program that ended more than six years
ago, Coats said.

The mass movement of American families
to softer-riding, pavement-traveling
crossover SUVs hasnt stopped the 4Runner
in its tracks. In fact, U.S. sales rose a bit
last calendar year to 51,625, and sales were
up another 1.8 percent in January and
February from the year-earlier period.
The test 4Runner, a top-of-the-line
Limited 4X4 model, instantly reminded pas-
sengers of earlier SUVs.
Were it not for optional-for-$1, 500
motorized running boards that automatical-
ly slid out from under the door sills when
needed, many passengers would have had to
work to scramble upward and get inside.
Once settled onto cushioned seats, every-
one had good views onto the roofs of cars
and through the windows of nearby trucks
and SUVs.
Even the two third-row riders third-row
seating is a $1,365 option had decent-
sized side windows, though the windows did
not open and seats were just a few inches
from the oor.
The biggest exterior design change for
2014 is a new look at the front of the
4Runner. It borrows from Toyotas smaller
FJ Cruiser SUV.
The ride is somewhat old style, with pas-
sengers feeling vibrations as tires went
over broken road surfaces, and there was
some truckish bounce on dirt trails.
Steering is less than precise but accept-
able for an offroader. The turning circle isnt
great, at 37.4 feet, but its better than that
of the Pathnder.
Dont expect great gasoline mileage.
With a hefty 4,800-pound weight, less than
aerodynamic shape and an older-style ve-
speed automatic, the 4Runner is rated at just
17 miles per gallon in city driving by the
federal government. Highway travel carries
a rating of 21 mpg or 22 mpg, depending on
whether the 4Runner is a 4X2 or 4X4. The
test vehicle did worse than the ratings, get-
ting just 15.1 mpg in city trafc and just
over 19 mpg on the highway.
By comparison, the Pathnder SUV i s
rated at 19/25 mpg.
Engine sounds were heard all the time in
the 4Runner, and the powerplant became
loud during hard acceleration.
Torque peaks at 278 foot-pounds at 4,400
rpm, and shift points were noticeable.
One complaint was an annoying whistle
that came on as the vehicle reached about
40 mph. The whistle emanated from the
side outside mirrors, and it made no differ-
ence if the nearby side windows were up or
down. The only thing that stopped the
whistle sound was putting a hand between
the mirror and the SUV body to break the
wind ow.
On the plus side, the newly designed cen-
ter stack in the 4Runner protrudes for easy
reach. Buttons and knobs are large, and
there also can be controls buttons on the
steering wheel.
Also new: Brightly illuminated Optitron
gauges in front of the driver.
Maximum cargo capacity, with seats fold-
ed, is a good 128 cubic feet.
Headroom in the third row seemed tight
even for a 5-foot-4 passenger. Toyota
reports 34.3 inches of third-row headroom,
which is less than the 36.5 inches in the
third row of the Pathnder.
Afull 41.7 inches of legroom is available
in the front seats. This is about a half inch
less than the 42.3 inches of front-seat
legroom in the Pathnder.
Climbing into the third row takes a bit of
work. The tester had a tilt-and-slide manual
mechanism for the second-row outboard
seat only on the curb side of the SUV.
The federal government reports the 2014
4Runner earned four out of ve stars in
frontal crash testing. Side crash test results
were not available.

Superhero role epic for Mackie

New character introductions: Smooth. Action sequences: Excellent if
sometimes lacking nesse. Viewer satisfaction: Likely high. Box-ofce

Kurt Cobain changed Win Butlers world. Billie Joe
Armstrong thought the Nirvana frontman was his genera-
tions John Lennon and Paul McCartney. And Beck thinks
he owes a debt of gratitude to the singer-guitarist for open-
ing the worlds ears to a thriving, but little-heard under-
ground scene.
Its been two decades since Cobain took his own life on
April 5, 1994, at age 27, yet he remains an important cul-
tural touchstone for those he inuenced and entertained in
his short-lived career. The Associated Press spoke with a
handful of musicians about their memories of Cobain as the
anniversary of his suicide approached. Some knew him,
some watched him from afar. All were touched in some way
profound and unforgettable.
Beck experienced Nirvana long before everyone else. He
ran into the band three years before Nirvanas Nevermind
changed pop music.
He had never heard of the band, the opening act on a three-
band bill, the top draws now lost to memory.
I have a memory of them coming out and he had his mid-
dle nger up, was giving his middle nger to the audience,
he said. ... Id seen a lot of punk shows and Id seen a lot
of bands when I was younger where the shows were pretty
aggressive or confrontational, but there was something
completely different about this. I remember he had a smile
on his face, there was a kind of playfulness, but it was also
a little menacing, and I remember the minute they started
playing, the entire audience erupted in a way I hadnt seen
before.
Everything that would make the band popular when
Smells Like Teen Spirit ripped the fabric of pop music was
already there.
And I can tell you, any situation Ive been in and many
of my peers Ive seen coming up, playing for audiences
whove never heard of you, you dont get peoples attention

Much like the taste of food generally suffers inight,craft brews also lose a little oomph at that altitude.Drinkerssense of taste
can be a little dulled to the aromatics of the beers, and bitterness can be accentuated, reducing the overall taste. A balanced
malty and hoppy beer is best.
By Michael Felberbaum
RICHMOND, Va. Attention pas-
sengers, craft beer has reached 35,000
feet.
As the airline industry works to
improve its food and beverage options,
a new trend has emerged airlines
adding craft beers to their in-ight offer-
ings. The assumption is that as more
drinkers switch from mass market beers
to specialty brews, theyll be happier if
they dont have to give up the good stuff
when theyre in the air.
We already had our drinkers on air-
planes, we just didnt have the beer,
says Jim Koch, co-founder of the
Boston Beer Co., maker of Sam Adams.
They want to drink in the air what
theyre drinking on the ground.
Its another sign that airlines are get-
ting better at responding to changing
consumer tastes. And Americans certain-
ly have developed a taste for craft beer.
U.S. craft beer retail sales reached $14.3
billion in 2013, an increase of 20 per-
cent from a year earlier, according to the
Brewers Association, the trade group for
the majority of U.S. brewing compa-
nies. The move also helps craft brewers
gain brand awareness.
While some Delta shuttle ights have
offered Sam Adams in bottles for about
20 years and Virgin America has offered
beer from San Franciscos 21st
Amendment Brewery for a few years, a
critical mass of other airlines has joined
them recently. Reasons for the surge
include the craft beer industrys new
preference for cans over bottles
which are lighter and easier to store on
drink carts as well as greater avail-
ability of the beers.
Southwest Airlines began selling
cans of New Belgium Brewing Co.s Fat
Tire on its nearly 700 Southwest and
AirTran planes earlier this year. Cans of
Sam Adams joined the mile-high club
with JetBlue over the summer, Alaska
Airlines and its sister carrier Horizon
Air offer brews from the Pacic
Northwest and Hawaii, and last month
regional carrier Sun Country partnered
with MinneapolisSurly Brewing Co. to
sell craft beer from its home base.
Pretty much any time theres an
opportunity to have a beer, whether it
be at a sports venue, or at a club, or on a
plane, Id like to be able to have some
craft beer, said Omar Ansari, founder of
Surly Brewing Co. One of the big
pieces to making that all work is that we
nally have enough beer. ... Theres a
demand for it and a lot of breweries are
making a lot more beer.
And thats what passengers are telling
airlines, too.
(Customers) began asking more and
more for craft beer, says Sonya Lacore,
senior director of base operations for
Southwest. Were running out of Fat
Tire right now. ... Its clear that they are
really going all out for it.
Of course, its not all good news.
Much like the taste of food generally
suffers inight, craft brews also lose a
little oomph at that altitude. Drinkers
sense of taste can be a little dulled to the
aromatics of the beers, and bitterness
can be accentuated, reducing the overall
taste, says Koch. Naturally, he said, a
balanced malty and hoppy beer is best.
It is interesting, your taste buds
operate slightly differently, Koch said.
Still, beer craft or otherwise
isnt typically the most popular alco-
holic beverage sold on airplanes.
Passengers aboard six North
American airlines spent more than
$11.3 million on beer during a ve-
month period last year, according to
GuestLogix, which processes about 90
percent of onboard credit card transac-
tions for North American carriers. By
comparison, liquor sales neared $38
Craft beer reaches for the skies
The bitters truth
Cocktail bitters are booming
By Michelle Locke
Cocktail expert Adam Lantheaume isnt afraid to tell the
bitters truth. Making drinks without adding a dash or two
of bitters is like cooking without seasoning.
We think of cocktail bitters as the spice cabinet of the
bartender, he says. And things are getting spicier by the
minute on the bar scene.
Rhubarb bitters? Theyre out there. Macadamia nut,
papaya bitters? Ditto. There even are chocolate bitters
and one made from a single-malt scotch. Its a bitters
boom.
Will Elliott, head bartender at Maison Premier in
Brooklyn, has seen the proliferation and regionalization
of bitters. Its turned into a big cottage industry. The
viewpoint from the consumer seems to be that its just
essential to any drink. Ten years ago, it was such an after-
thought.
All bitters serve essentially the same purpose to
unify and highlight other ingredients, mostly in cock-
tails, but sometimes in food. They are made by distilling
herbs, seeds, roots and other ingredients, and true to
their name have a bitter or bittersweet taste and potent
aroma.
Angostura is the granddaddy of the bitters world, creat-
ed in Venezuela in the early 19th century by a German doc-
tor looking to improve the troops digestive health. Its
still made today by House of Angostura and often is used
for cooking as well as classic cocktails. Another classic
bitters is Peychauds, which was created by Antoine
Amedee Peychaud in New Orleans and is a key ingredient
of the Sazerac cocktail.
But those are just the start. As founder and proprietor of
The Boston Shaker, a cocktail tools and ingredients store
in Somerville, Mass., Lantheaume has seen a bitters ren-
aissance as the craft cocktail movement has pushed bar-
tenders and home enthusiasts to search for quality ingre-
dients and more intense flavors.
Some of the brands carried in the Boston Shaker: Fee
Brothers, Hella Bitter, Bittermens and Bitters, Old Men.
(Theres just something about the word bitters that
seems to bring out the word play. )
Some bartenders are even making their own bitters by
macerating various ingredients in high-proof alcohol,
then straining off the bitters. Another trend is barrel-
aging bitters to further tease out flavors.
If youre new to bitters, be aware that there are two
types. Potable bitters such as amaro, an herbal liqueur
can be drunk straight, often as a digestif at the end of a
See BITTERS, Page 23
Pretty much any time theres an opportunity

club, or on a plane, Id like to be able to have some craft beer.

Falcon costume on Halloween. When I was
a kid I didnt have that. It wasnt like I
could get asked, Who do you want to be for
Halloween? and say Shaft. Being the
Falcon is monumental.
Working with Marvel has been a long-
time goal for Mackie, though he imagined
playing a villain, not a superhero. I want-
ed to be like the Joker and get my Heath
Ledger on, he said. I would send Marvel
an email, like every four to five months. I
was calling saying, Ill work for free.
About two years ago they sent me a letter
saying, Dont call us, well call you. I
was like Damn Marvel mad at me.
Roughly six months before filming
began on The Winter Soldier in April
2013, directors Anthony and Joe Russo
offered Mackie a role in the comic-book
adaptation.
It was epic, recalls Mackie, who
admits he didnt know much about the char-
acter Sam Wilson, who becomes the
Falcon, one of the first African-American
superheroes in a mainstream comic.
I read up on him and immediately got
into the gym, he added with a laugh. I
thought if I am wearing that much spandex
I have to be in shape.
When The Winter Soldier hits theaters
Friday, it will likely become the role for
which the 35-year-old Mackie is most
known. But it was his portrayal of a bomb
disposal team sergeant in Kathryn
Bigelows Oscar-winning war thriller The
Hurt Locker that paved the way for main-
stream success.
Both his roles in Half Nelson and The
Hurt Locker showed him to be an actor of
real weight, said Winter Soldier execu-
tive producer Nate Moore. When we were
looking to cast the role of Sam Wilson, we
knew we wanted an actor who would feel
like an equal to Steve Rogers (Chris
Evans). Wed kicked some names back and
forth, but none of the names ever rose
above the first we discussed Anthony
Mackie. Once we met Anthony in person,
we were sold. He charmed us.
Growing up in New Orleans, acting was
the last thing on Mackies mind. The self-
professed troublemaker said he probably
would have been on Ritalin in todays
world. But I had this great teacher who
introduced me to Shakespeare, which
opened my eyes to a different idea of who I
could be.
He suffered a blow at 15, when his moth-
er died. Mackies inheritance after his
mothers estate was split among him and
his five siblings was $550. He used $542
to travel to New York to audition for
Juilliard and got in.
It confirmed to me that I had the ability
to do this and make a living at it, he
recalled.
It also offered him the chance to turn his
anger into positive energy after her death.
The greatest blessing that she could
have given me was letting me become my
own man, he said. Once I got into school
everything took off.
While at Juilliard, he was cast in Eminem
hit biopic 8 Mile. Since then, hes
appeared in over 30 movies, from indie
flicks to big budget, all-star films.
Hes one of a select group of African-
American actors who are consistently cast
in major films. Mackie is well aware of the
burden faced by minorities in Hollywood,
but he describes it as another hurdle in life
that has to be navigated.
In this business specifically, race plays
such a daunting role in our life because so
many of my friends, who are 10 times more
talented than I am, they arent working.
There arent enough roles for them. It is
simply because they are black, Latino or
Asian actors. I think thats slowly chang-
ing and evolving, he said.
I think as we support more our opportu-
nities grow. Look at the cover of Vanity
Fair. Look at the Oscars. Michael B. Jordan
is treading those waters easily right now. I
think a lot of that has to do with the actors
who came before him and busted their
heads against the wall over and over
again.
Mackie hopes to tell the story of anoth-
er pioneer who helped break down barriers
for African-Americans, though not in act-
ing that of Olympic gold medalist Jesse
Owens. Its a passion project that he hopes
to complete in the near future.
The great thing about the Falcon is, its
put me in a position to where people are
willing to have those conversations about
Jesse Owens, he said. I feel like its a
story that has to be told.
Like his perseverance with Marvel,
Mackie attests that if given an opportuni-
t y, hell flourish. That has been my motto
in life, he added. If you let me in the
door, then Im there to stay.
MACKIE
to a pre-Avengers franchise starter. The
earlier Captain America: First Avenger
was a mostly clever period film, set in the
40s and awash with a charming WWII
thriller nostalgia.
Winter Soldier brings Steve Rogers
the weakling recruit made a brawny
Greatest Generation icon, played by Chris
Evans up to present day for a
Washington D.C. conspiracy thriller.
Fittingly, Marvel has attracted the default
hero of such films, Robert Redford. Hes a
major get for the franchise, especially
since (unlike in last years All is Lost)
hes actually talking now.
While Rogers runs laps around the
Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool and jots
notes on the pop culture he missed while
frozen for 70 years, theres trouble brew-
ing at S.H.I.E.L.D. Its head, Nick Fury
(Samuel Jackson), believes something is
amiss with the agencys latest project: a
trio of helicarriers that can kill evildoers
from the sky even before the evil is done.
Its in this way that Marvel films use a
complicated current-events issue NSA-
like spying to feign contemporary rele-
vance. Its the appearance of having some-
thing to say. Captain America, a stand-in
for a more innocent, noble America, won-
ders if the helicarriers are like holding a
gun to everyone on Earth and calling it
protection.
But thats about the extent of such talk in
Winter Soldier: a political thriller with-
out the politics. (Be warned: some small
spoilers follow.)
Fury, having doubted the project, finds
himself a hunted man. Captain America is
left to investigate with only a few trust-
worthy friends: Scarlett Johanssons scar-
let-haired former KGB agent Natasha
Romanoff, a.k.a. the Black Widow (an
Avengers toss-in, added like a dash of
paprika) and Anthony Mackies veteran
Sam Wilson (a welcome newbie).
The best thing Winter Soldier has
going for it is its cast, a uniformly likable
bunch, particularly the winning Mackie,
whose character dons mechanical wings to
become the Falcon. And then theres
Redford, who plays Alexander Pierce, a
S.H.I.E.L.D. director.
Redford, naturally, classes up the joint.
Historically, in films like Three Days of
the Condor and All the Presidents Men,
hes been the regular guy fighting govern-
ment conspiracy which makes his
duplicitous turn in Winter Soldier excit-
ing. Like Jackson, he lends a gravitas to
the film that it perhaps doesnt quite
deserve.
Directing brothers Anthony Russo and
Joe Russo (You, Me and Dupree) and
screenwriters Christopher Markus and
Stephen McFeely (Thor: The Dark World)
put perhaps a bit more into character devel-
opment than these films often do. (The
biggest misstep is with the handling of the
title character, an assassin played by
Sebastian Stan, whose true identity is mys-
terious.)
The brightly lit D.C. environs, too, give
the film something of a sense of the real
world. Yet when Marvin Gayes Trouble
Man plays pop-culture homework for
Rogers its like a window into another,
wholly separate universe. One with soul.
Its getting difficult to tell the Marvel
movies apart. The fight scenes on a depart-
ing aircraft blur together. The reversals of
friend and foe refract like an infinity mir-
ror. The characters are spread across so
many movies that youd need a detectives
cork board to keep it straight.
So while The Winter Soldier succeeds
as finely engineered merchandise built to
be crowd-pleasing entertainment, for
moviegoers and shareholder alike, it has a
shelf life that wont last much past its run-
ning time.
Captain America: The Winter Soldier, a
Walt Disney release, is rated PG-13 by the
Motion Picture Association of America for
intense sequences of violence, gunplay
and action throughout. Running time:
136 minutes. Two and a half stars out of
four.

Calendar
at all, he said. Usually theyre talking or
going to the bathroom in those kinds of sit-
uations, but they had the audience from the
rst note. Even if they had never become
successful, I would still remember that. It
made a big impression. I remember at the
time thinking, What is this? Somethings
going on here, and I was a fan after that.
Billie Joe Armstrong remembers being
out on Green Days rst tour in 1990 and
encountering the bands grafti in a string
of tiny clubs out West. Hed heard of Nirvana
through its Sub Pop releases, including its
debut album, Bleach, but thought little of
it at the time.
Ayear later, Nirvana was known through-
out the world. Cobain became something of
a tortured poet laureate, a gure Armstrong
thinks was as important for his generation
as Lennon and McCartney were to theirs.
You know, the guy just wrote beautiful
songs, Armstrong said. When someone
goes that honestly straight to the core of
who they are, what theyre feeling, and was
able to kind of put it out there, I dont know,
man, its amazing. I remember hearing it
when Nevermind came out and just think-
ing, weve nally got our Beatles, this era
nally got our Beatles, and ever since then
its never happened again. Thats whats
interesting. I was always thinking maybe
the next 10 years. OK, maybe the next 10
years, OK, maybe. ... That was truly the last
rock n roll revolution.
Like Armstrong, Win Butler was moved
when he rst heard Nevermind in 1991. So
was everyone in the Arcade Fire frontmans
world growing up in Texas.
All the sudden the whole kind of social
dynamic at my junior high changed where
these kind of mist kids who maybe come
from a broken home and theyre smoking
cigarettes in the back and they didnt have
money for nice clothes, all the sudden those
kids socially were in a weird way on the
same level as everyone else, Butler said. I
was sort of like a weird kid who didnt know
where I t in or whatever and just to have
that kind of voice be that big in culture, I
feel like that was a magical period of alter-
native music where we had Janes Addiction
and R.E.M. and Nirvana, it was like seeing
these kind of freaks from all the different
cities of North America and youre like, oh
wow.
Butler still takes cues from Cobain and
Nirvana. After winning the 2010 Grammy
Award for album of the year, Butler and his
band delivered a completely unexpected fol-
low-up album last year that ignored the lure
of pop possibilities much like Nirvana
did when it recorded the bands nal album,
the polarizing In Utero, in 1993.
Imagine Nirvana having the biggest
record in the world and spending nine days
and coming back with this super-raw album
with pretty acoustic songs and crazy metal
songs, Butler said. I dont know, just
artistically In Utero was a constant source
of inspiration. It stands the test of time so
well, and All Apologies is one of the most
beautiful songs ever written, I think.
Cobain enjoyed a kind of feedback loop
with those he admired, and got the attention
of Neil Young a major touchstone for the
grunge movement before his death.
Young has often chafed under the require-
ments of fame as well, and understands some
of what Cobain was experiencing. The
singer-songwriter was so moved by
Cobains death, he recorded the album
Sleeps With Angels, and still wonders
what might have happened if he had been
able to talk to Cobain before he died.
Well, you know, its a hard thing to deal
with, Young said. I guess Kurt felt too
much. I think its sad that he didnt have
anybody to talk to that couldve talked to
him and said, I know what youre going
through, but its not too bad. It really isnt
bad. Just (expletive) blink and it will be
gone. Everything will be all right. Youve
got a lot of other things to do. Why dont
you just take a break? Dont worry about all
these (expletive) who want you to do all this
(expletive) you dont want to do. Just stop
doing everything. Tell them to get (exple-
tive) and stay away. Thats it. Thats what I
would have told him if I had the chance. And
I almost got a chance, but it didnt happen.
COBAIN
meal, or mixed in a drink. Campari falls
into this category. Non-potable bitters
such as Angostura are intense and work
as an ingredient only. These usually are
measured by the drop or dash.
Bitters may go back as far as the ancient
Egyptians and for much of their history
were considered medicinal, says Benjamin
Wood, beverage director at Distilled, in
New York Citys Tribeca neighborhood.
Adding bitters to a drink doesnt have to
be complicated. It can be as simple as tak-
ing a classic gin and tonic and adding a
dash or two of grapefruit bitters to height-
en the taste.
Science says aroma can affect flavor by
70 or 80 percent, says Wood. If you can
utilize bitters in that way and really think
about aromatics on top of balancing flavor
profiles in a cocktail, then itll be a
longer-lasting experience for the con-
sumer and hopefully theyll remember it
and come back.
BITTERS
million and wine sales topped $14 million
during that same period.
On Southwest, where all of its alcohol is
priced at $5, beer runs neck-and-neck to its
liquor sales, Lacore said.
But Koch says the size of the in-ight beer
business is smaller than the statement being
made about demand for craft beer. And the
growing interest in craft beer could help send
sales on planes soaring.

board felt it was an appropriate time to con-
sider other options, General Manager Peter
Grenell said.
After months of discussion, the district will
purchase the 8,050-square-foot, three-story
building at 504 Alhambra Ave. in El Granada
for $1.8 million, which it will pay in cash,
Grenell said.
Since the day it moved from Pillar Point
Harbor, the goal had always been to nd
another location on the coast, said Robert
Bernardo, president of the Harbor District
Board of Commissioners.
The move to the South San Francisco
Ofce, the Oyster Point Business Park, that
was supposed to be a temporary move that
ended up being about a decade. The original
intent was to always have a headquarters on
the coastside, Bernardo said. Theres two
primary reasons why this is signicant, the
rst reason is major cost savings; right now
the Harbor District pays over $7,000 a month
on rent there number two, while yes we do
have a harbor at Oyster Point, or we have
Oyster Point Marina, really the bulk of our
operations are at Pillar Point. So it makes
perfect sense for the headquarters to be locat-
ed at the heart of the coastside.
Pillar Point Harbor was the catalyst for the
districts creation decades ago and its appro-
priate for the headquarters to return to the
coast, Commissioner Jim Tucker said.
Im very excited. Weve been trying to get
back over to the coastside for years, Tucker
said. Its more of a psychological feeling.
Pillar Point is the harbor of refuge; its the
harbor that was decided to be the district for
San Mateo County so its appropriate for us
to be there for that.
Once the district relocates to El Granada, it
will be able to host its own meetings instead
of having to use South San Francisco City
Hall or Sea Crest School in Half Moon Bay,
Brennan said. It will also be more accessible
to the bulk of the districts customers,
Brennan said.
Pillar Point Harbor is the Harbor Districts
primary facility because its the only com-
mercial shing port in San Mateo County,
its a Bay Area tourism and recreation destina-
tion, it has high slip occupancy, its next to
[the] world-class surf spot Mavericks, and it
provides excellent access to the California
Coastal Trail, Brennan wrote.
Tucker said he and Brennan have both been
very eager to secure this new site, which is
now under a 30-day due diligence period.
The building will undergo further inspec-
tions and the district must retain approval
from the states Department of Boating and
Waterways, which stems from its debt, Tucker
said. The district took out a more than $19
million loan in 1997 from the department to
help fund construction of its harbor and mari-
na, Grenell said. It will be able to pay off the
approximate $7 million remaining earlier
than expected, however, it needs approval
from the department before it can purchase
the El Granada site, Grenell said.
There is no set date for when the district
will move its headquarters, but the commis-
sion did try to retain some exibility when it
renewed its lease for the South San Francisco
ofces last year, Grenell said.
If it moves within a year of the renewal, it
will owe a $3,000 vacancy fee; if it moves
before two years it will owe $1,500, Grenell
said.
It may take some time for everything to be
nalized and Tucker said he thinks the proper-
ty may require some construction for it to
become more suitable to the districts needs.
The El Granada Sanitary District, another
government entity, currently leases a portion
of the property for $3,000 and he hopes it
will stay after the deed changes hands, Tucker
said.
Moving back to the coast has been a long
time coming and its a relief to see the district
making positive changes, Tucker said.
Were going to save $100,000 a year in
rent. I mean thats just phenomenal for a dis-
trict our size, Tucker said. Its an exciting
time for the district, weve had some rough
times as of late, but now this is a very very
positive thing and were excited about it.
In other business, the commission voted to
hire Brett Ives to serve as its facilitator and
help the commission work better with each
other. Staff was also directed to list the dis-
tricts Post Ofce Lot in El Granada for lease
or possibly sale.
HARBOR
death from cancer in 1952 at age 33, when she
was a world celebrity.
It then goes back to a small Argentina town
in 1934, when Eva Duarte (Alicia Gangi
Malone) was a 15-year-old aspiring actress
with big ambitions. She connects with a
nightclub singer, Agustin Magaldi (Daniel
Hurst), and persuades him to take her to
Buenos Aires.
There she establishes a career as an actress
and radio performer while sleeping her way
upward until she becomes the wife of Gen.
Juan Peron (Anthony Bernal), who is elected
president.
Commenting on her actions is revolution-
ary Che Guevara (Alex Rodriguez), who
serves as a foil to her questionable tactics.
This is BBBs third go at the show. Then
known as Peninsula Civic Light Opera, the
company staged it in 1986 and again in 2002
under its present name.
Directed by Jason Hoover, this latest pro-
duction is intriguing because its staging is
new, at least to me. Starting in 1979, others
have been directed by the brilliant Hal Prince
or inspired by him.
Likewise, the sets and choreography in
those previous shows were based on the orig-
inal, which included newsreels and photos of
the real Eva.
This new approach isnt nearly as impres-
sive, but perhaps because its so spartan, it
can offer new insights into the music.
Although it might seem that Lloyd Webber is
merely recycling some melodies in the two-
act show, hes using them to ironic effect to
illustrate changes in Evas life.
For example, one of the sweetest songs is
Another Suitcase in Another Hall, sung by
Perons mistress (Samantha Cardenas) after
Eva has evicted her from Perons bed.
One of her lines is So what happens now?
The male chorus replies, Youll get by, you
always have before. This refrain is reprised
in a nal scene between Juan and the dying
Eva.
The penultimate Montage is just that a
montage of the songs that chronicle Evas
life from age 15, a deathbed ashback.
Choreography by Alex Hsu comes closest
to the original in Perons Latest Flame,
sung by Che, soldiers and the aristocracy. The
soldiers march rectangularly in stiff precision
while the aristocrats move diagonally in their
own lockstep.
Both groups oppose Eva, but the rousing
A New Argentina, which immediately fol-
lows and ends Act 1, shows how much the
common people adore her.
The best-known song is Dont Cry for Me
Argentina, sung by Eva at Juans inaugura-
tion and in her nal broadcast to the nation.
Although Malone is an effective actor and
good dancer, her singing isnt up to this
demanding role. She sometimes becomes
shrill or goes at.
The others are all good singers, especially
Rodriguez as Che. Unlike his predecessors,
who usually wore scruffy beards and fatigues,
Rodriguez is well-groomed and wears a suit
and tie at rst. Hes then in shirtsleeves and
blends in well with the people of Argentina.
Sound and lighting are the biggest weak-
ness. Jon Haywards sound is so loud that it
muddies the lyrics. Since the show is sung
through like an opera, understanding the
lyrics is crucial to following the story.
The lighting by Seamus Strahan-Mauk is
too busy, even distracting, especially when
overhead lights swing into the audiences
eyes.
After seeing many previous productions,
including the lm with Madonna, its difcult
to see this one as if it were the rst.
Its likely that many people in the audi-
ence, especially the younger ones, were new
to the show. Nevertheless, the music and
most of the performances are captivating
whether this is ones rst or eighth viewing.
Evita will continue at the Fox Theatre,
2215 Broadway, Redwood City, through April
13. For tickets and information call (650)
