Charter seeks adult school spot

Design Tech requests use of San Mateo SMART Center facilities if Oracle site doesnt work out
By Angela Swartz
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
With limited space, the San Mateo Union

High School District has until Feb. 1,
2015, to decide if it will provide a new charter school with space at what is now currently the adult school if plans to relocate at
a local tech giant fall through.
Design Tech High School, which resides

at Mills High School for the time being, is
seeking to land in 28,166 square feet of
space at the SMART Center in San Mateo
during the 2015-16 school year. The charter
has been working with the Oracle
Corporation to investigate permanently
locating the school at the Redwood Shores
campus on a vacant 2.5-acre parcel of unoccupied space. While the school is still in
discussions with Oracle, d.Tech has submitted a Proposition 39 request for district
facilities. This provides a safety net should
the project with Oracle be delayed or
unplugged.
Its a more nontraditional space,
d. Tech director Ken Montgomery said.
Everybody has always said facilities are
the number one challenge for a charter
school and were lucky were located with-
in a functioning school.
The school is willing to co-locate with
the Adult School and d.Tech will most likely have to co-locate with another school
since the district doesnt have any property
thats not already being used, he said. The
charter that emphasizes knowledge in
action and extreme personalization ran

Lawyer: Bieber on track
to resolve vandalism case
LOS ANGELES Justin Bieber has
paid more than $80,000 to the owner
of a home he egged but has otherwise
made slow progress on the terms of his
sentence in the vandalism case, probation officials said in a report disclosed
at a hearing Monday.
The pop singer has yet to begin his
community service or complete the
majority of the anger management sessions ordered by a court, the officials
wrote to the judge handling the case.
Still, Biebers attorney Shawn
Holley said the singer is on track to
complete his sentence by February.
Superior Court Judge Leland B.
Harris did not express any concerns
about Biebers progress and ordered the
singers case to be called again on Feb.
10 for an update.
Bieber was sentenced to perform five
days of community service, complete
12 anger management sessions, and
pay $80,900 to repair damage to his
neighbors home in the egg-tossing
incident.
Bieber, 20, paid the restitution in
August, a month after he pleaded no
contest to vandalism and was placed on
two years of probation.
Probation officials noted that Bieber
has been charged with dangerous driving and assault in Canada stemming
from a confrontation with a paparazzo
in late August. Probation officials rec-

PASADENA Fifteen hikers from a
church group who failed to return from

a helicopter plucked them safely out of

driven to a nature center to be reunited
with anxious family and friends.
Hiker Nancy Picado, 22, said the

the base of the rugged San Gabriel

We were wet, we were tired, but we

until morning.
Claudia Ortiz, who stood gingerly
with one foot bandaged, appeared to

Man gets time served, rehab

for hitting friend, stealing car
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
A Pleasanton man who hit his friend in

the head with a rusted mental cylinder
before stealing his car in San Mateo was
sentenced to time served and must complete a residential drug treatment program.
Over the objection of prosecutors, Judge
Mark Forcum first reduced Aaron Michael
Hannas felony conviction for assault with
a deadly weapon to a misdemeanor. Hanna,
27, faced up to a year in jail but Forcum
imposed 333 days jail with credit of the
same amount plus completion of the
Delancey Street program.
Hanna entered Delancey Street around the
time he pleaded no contest in August. He had

been in custody on
$150, 000 bail but was
released on his own
recognizance pending
sentencing for the March
2, 2014, assault on his
San Bruno acquaintance.
Hanna was riding in

the victims black Honda
Accord that afternoon when the vehicle
began to overheat, prompting the victim
to pull over at a gas station in the 800
block of North Delaware Street in San
Mateo.
The two men, who hadnt been friends for

long, had shared a meal together before the
car began to overheat, according to prosecutors.
While the 30-year-old victim tended to
his vehicle by looking under the hood,
Hanna allegedly struck the victim with the
cylinder, resulting in a glancing blow to
the neck, according to prosecutors. The
victims injuries were not life threatening.
Hanna then took the victims Honda and
drove away, police said.
Officers found Hanna and the vehicle
more than two hours later in the area of San
Bruno Avenue and Skyline Boulevard in
San Bruno, police said.

Former head clerk

Obama Internet
proposal touches
off angry debate
By Michelle Durand

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON President Barack

Obama touched off an angry debate
Monday over government regulation
of Internet service, coming down on
the side of consumer activists who fear
slower download speeds and higher
costs but angering Republicans and
the nations cable giants who say the
plan would kill jobs.
Obama called on the Federal
Communications Commission to
more heavily regulate Internet
providers, including prohibiting them
from charging data hogs like Netflix
more money to move their content
more quickly. The announcement sent
cable stocks tumbling.
The FCC, an independent regulatory
body led by political appointees, is
nearing a decision on whether broadband providers should be allowed to
cut deals with the content providers
but is stumbling over the legal complexities.
We are stunned the president would
abandon the longstanding, bipartisan

policy of lightly regulating the
Internet and calling for extreme regulation, said Michael Powell, president
and CEO of the National Cable and
Telecommunications Association, the
primary lobbying arm of the cable
industry, which supplies much of the
nations Internet access.
This tectonic shift in national policy, should it be adopted, would create
devastating results, Powell added.
Netflix swung behind Obama, posting to its Facebook page that con-
sumers should pick winners and losers

on the Internet, not broadband gatekeepers.
Net neutrality is the idea that
Internet service providers shouldnt
block, slow or manipulate data moving across its networks. As long as
content isnt against the law, such as
child pornography or pirated music, a
file or video posted on one site will
load generally at the same speed as a
similarly sized file or video on another site.
A former head clerk at a BevMo store in Burlingame

pleaded no contest to felony embezzlement rather than
stand trial on allegations she took $10, 597. 91 over a
three-month span by claiming the money was used as
cash for returned items like keg taps.
The details of Mary Carmen Vasquezs plea deal reached
Monday were not immediately available. The 26-year-old
San Mateo resident will be sentenced Jan. 8.
Between October 2013 and Jan. 6, 2014, Vasquez
worked at the Burlingame beverage store and prosecutors
say she took money roughly 95 times by making cash
refunds to herself. The withdrawals were reportedly
logged as customer returns for items and tub deposits.
The missing money was uncovered when the store manager noticed the large number of cash refunds and several
of the fraudulent returns were caught on store surveillance, according to the District Attorneys Office.
When confronted, Vasquez reportedly admitted to a
couple of thefts but said they only amounted to $1, 000,
Deputy District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe said.
Vasquez was originally free from custody on her own
recognizance but her release was revoked after she violated the conditions. She was booked into jail Oct. 3 but
posted a $10, 000 bond four days later.

needs began when the Measure A proposals were first developed two years ago
after the half-cent sales tax increase was
passed by county voters.
The final recommendations for the veterans needs assessment findings will be
presented to the San Mateo County Board
of Supervisors Jan. 13. The final recommendations for what services will be
made available to veterans will be based
off the data and feedback presented at the
s ummi t , s ai d San Mat eo County
Supervisor Warren Slocum.
Later this month, the county is planning to roll out an identification card
program for veterans to gain better access
to county services and receive discounts
at local retailers and restaurants.
While the federal government provides health care and other services at the
VA, we know there are unmet needs,
Slocum said. Its time to take stock,
understand the gaps in care, and do right
by the veterans in our local communities.
Bobby Im, 43, a two-time U. S. Army
veteran, was invited by organizers and

was part of a summit focus group. He
acknowledges he wishes there was more
support for his family while he was away
as well as for other veterans families.
There needs to be more financial guidance, Im said. A lot of younger veterans
come back and get into a lot of debt.
Im admits he was lucky in terms of having a good father who told him to put
away $250 away every month while he
was serving.
That way when I got back I immediately had $10, 000 in savings he said. Not
everyone has that.
Im also suggested a strong mentorship
program to help veterans transition back
would be most helpful.
Some issues highlighted at the summit
included
persist ent
homelessness
amongst veterans, a need for more
employment opportunities , access to
services and a larger need for behavioral
and mental health services. An issue identified was that veterans dont necessarily
know what services they qualify for.
I didnt know to go to the VA for alcoholism, Healy said.

Postal Service says it is victim of hacking attack
WASHINGTON The U.S. Postal Service said Monday it is
the victim of a cyberattack and that information about its
employees, including Social Security numbers, may have
been compromised.
The FBI and other federal agencies are investigating, the
agency said in a statement.
Postal Service spokesman David Partenheimer said personal information that may have been obtained in the attack
includes employees names, dates of birth, Social Security
numbers, addresses, emergency contacts and other information.
However, he also said that customers at local post offices or
those using its website, usps.com, were not affected. But
people who used its call center may have had telephone numbers, email addresses and other information compromised.
The agency isnt recommending that those customers take
any action.
The Postal Service provided no immediate information on
how many people may have been affected. It employs over
617,000 workers.
The intrusion is limited in scope and all operations of the
Postal Service are functioning normally, Partenheimer said.
It is an unfortunate fact of life these days that every organization connected to the Internet is a constant target for cyber
intrusion activity, Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe said
in a statement. The United States Postal Service is no different.
Fortunately, we have seen no evidence of malicious use of
the compromised data and we are taking steps to help our
employees protect against any potential misuse of their
data.
U.S. Catholic bishops try to calm anxiety over pope

BALTIMORE Americas Catholic bishops came together
Monday to project an image of unity, after a Vatican meeting
on the family unleashed an uproar over the direction of the
church.
Last months gathering in Rome on more compassionately
ministering to families featured open debate alarming
many traditional Catholics, who argued it would undermine
public understanding of church teaching. Pope Francis
encouraged a free exchange of ideas at the assembly, or
synod, in contrast to previous years, when such events were
tightly scripted.
At a meeting Monday in Baltimore, Archbishop Joseph
Kurtz, president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops,
signaled there was no conflict between a gentler approach and
upholding church orthodoxy. Kurtz cited his home visits to
parishioners, where he wouldnt give them a list of rules to
follow firsthand, but would instead spend time with them
trying to appreciate the good that I saw in their hearts,
before inviting them to follow Christ.
Such an approach isnt in opposition to church teachings.
Its an affirmation of them, said Kurtz, who attended the
Vatican gathering.

Congress returns for

WASHINGTON Congress returns

to Washington this week for a lameduck session to try and clean up a

Mexico president faces protests, ethics questions

ACAPULCO, Mexico President

Enrique Pena Nietos government, which
had seen smooth sailing through its first
year and a half in office, is suddenly listing in the face of multiple crises.
The administration scrambled Monday
to respond to growing questions about
the familys multi-million-dollar man-
sion owned by a government contractor,

even as it tried to calm continuing
protests over the disappearance and
probable murder of 43 students.
The president has tried to shift
Mexicos focus away from a bloody
fight against organized crime to a
series of political and economic
reforms his administration successful-
ly pushed through congress.

But as he attended a summit in China
on Monday, Pena Nietos aides were trying the quell doubts about what the
administration called his wifes 2012

company that had won extensive contracts from the State of Mexico while
Enrique Pena Nieto was governor.
U.S. reviewing democracy work in hostile countries

WASHINGTON The State Department said Monday it was
reviewing some of its secretive democracy-promotion programs in hostile countries after the Associated Press reported
that the nations global development agency may effectively
end risky undercover work in those environments.
The proposed changes follow an AP investigation this year
into work by the U.S. Agency for International
Development, which established a Twitter-like service in
Cuba and secretly sought to recruit a new generation of dissidents there while hiding ties to the U.S. government. The
agencys proposed changes could move some of that work
under Americas diplomatic apparatus.
State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki declined to elaborate on the plan Monday, saying it was premature because
of ongoing deliberations. We continue to believe we need to
find creative ways to promote positive change in Cuba, but
beyond that, were still assessing what any change or what
any impact would be, she said.

Reverse Mortgage -The Line of Credit That Grows

One of the most overlooked benefits of the
Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) is
the growing line of credit. This unique feature
allows for your unused line of credit balance to
increase over time. The growth rate on the
unused portion in the line of credit is determined by the current interest rate on the loan
plus 1.25%. For example, if the current rate is
2.25%, the growth rate will be 3.50%. If the
interest rate on the loan increases, so will the
growth rate on the line of credit, so more funds
become available to the homeowner.

A reverse mortgage is a loan that enables
homeowners 62 or older to borrow against the
equity in their home, without having to give up
title, or take on a new monthly mortgage
payment. The money received can be used for
any purpose. The loan amount depends on the
borrowers age, current interest rates, and the
value of the home. Homeowner must remain
current on property taxes and insurance. A
reverse mortgage does not have to be repaid
until the borrower sells or moves out of the

home permanently, and the repayment amount
cannot exceed the value of the home. After the
loan is repaid, any remaining equity is distributed to the borrower or the borrowers estate.

Egyptian militants
pledge allegiance to
Islamic State group
By Maamoun Youssef
CAIRO Ansar Beit al-Maqdis,

a jihadi organization based in the
Sinai Peninsula that has carried out
a series of attacks targeting
Egyptian security forces, has
pledged allegiance to the Islamic
State group.
The announcement reflects the
growing regional appeal of the
Islamic State, an al-Qaida breakaway group that has carved out a
self-styled caliphate in Syria and
Iraq and demanded the loyalty of
the worlds Muslims.
Later Monday, pledges from militants in Libya and Yemen also surfaced online. The separate
pledges one in an audio recording and another in a statement
carried no known names of militant
groups in either country, instead
referring generally to the holy

warriors in the two countries.
The Associated Press could
immediately verify the authenticity of either statement, but they
both made local references, followed a format similar of the
Egyptian message and urged other
Muslims to show loyalty to the
Islamic State groups self-styled
Caliph, or leader, Abu Bakr alBaghdadi. Iraqi officials said
Sunday that al-Baghdadi had been
wounded in an earlier airstrike,
though the group has not commented on the report.
The Egyptian militant groups
announcement pledging loyalty to
Islamic State leader came in an
audio speech posted late Sunday on
its official Twitter account and a
militant website. Last week, the
group had used the same Twitter
account to deny reports saying it

had pledged allegiance to alBaghdadi.
The unknown speaker in the
recording released Sunday says
Ansar Beit al-Maqdis decided to
join the Islamic State group,
whose emergence resembles a new
dawn raising the banner of
monotheism.
The speaker said al-Baghdadi was
chosen by God to establish a new
caliphate after Muslims suffered
decades of humiliation.
Therefore, we have no alternative but to declare our pledge of
allegiance to the caliph ... to listen
and obey him ... and we call on all
Muslims to pledge allegiance to
him, the speaker says.
The speaker goes on to urge
Egyptians to rise up against what
he called the tyrant, apparently
referring to President Abdel-Fattah
el-Sissi, who was elected earlier
this year after leading the military

overthrow of Islamist President
Mohammed Morsi in July 2013
amid massive protests demanding
his resignation.
Since then, Sinai-based militants have carried out scores of
attacks mainly targeting soldiers
and police, including a coordinated
assault last month on an Egyptian
army checkpoint that killed 31
troops.

Letters to the editor

Thomas Bottorff
resignation agreement
Editor,
I was so excited to read recently
that PG&E executive Thomas Bottorff
was forced to resign from his job for
his inappropriate interactions with
the Public Utilities Commission.
Who says executives and government
ofcials are never held accountable?
However, I have to admit my excitement was a bit diminished as I read
the article in the Nov. 5 edition of the
Daily Journal PG&E executive who
lost job over emails to receive $1.1M
in severance pay. I learned that
Bottorff has been awarded $1.1 million severance pay, continued vesting
in his stock incentive plan, continued health care benets and $12,000
worth of career-transition services
in acceptance of his agreement to
resign.
PG&E spokesman Keith Stephens
said, The benets that were provided
are in accordance with the companys
ofcer-separation policy and are
based on individual compensation
levels and years of service. Man, I
wish I could have seen him when he
said that I wonder if he was able to
keep a straight face.
That news has sparked an interest
for me to do some research: does anyone have a high-powered computer I
could borrow for my research? I want
to total the number of blue-collar
workers who have been red over the
last 10 years and received this type of
compensation for agreeing to resign.
The real challenge will be to total up
the aggregate compensation theyve
collected. Perhaps thats too large a
task. To make things more comparable, perhaps I should limit the study
to only those who have potentially
committed crimes that led to their resignations.

Not all cheap food is nutritionally

lacking. Those who purchase food
items like ramen noodles, which are
high in fat and salt, appear to not
know healthy options.
Although the prices listed below are
for low cost healthy food items in
Colorado Springs, I found comparable
prices in Santa Clara and San Mateo
counties. I lived in Sunnyvale and
worked in San Carlos until my move
to Colorado in the middle of July of
this year. Food items 20 cents or less
per serving: one banana, 1/4 cup
organic raisins, 1 ounce of roasted
soy nuts, sunowers seeds or peanuts,
2 ounces dry measure of organic
whole wheat spaghetti noodles, 4
ounce of homemade spaghetti sauce,
4 ounces of carrot, 1/2 cup cooked
serving of either millet, hulled barley, corn, peas, lentils or green split
peas. Food items ten cents or less per
serving: 1/2 cup cooked oatmeal,
pinto beans or brown rice, 1 slice of

Was Faro rejected?

Editor,
According to the article
Incumbents retain health care district
seats in the Nov. 5, 2014, edition of
the Daily Journal, Faro said the
results show that voters rejected
Hickey, his slate and the push for dissolution.
I dont feel rejected at all. How
rejected must Faro feel, having now
twice nished in third place more
than 1,500 votes behind Hickey?
I congratulate Shefren and Faro for
their stealth campaign which avoided
forums and let union phone banks and
a strategically timed, taxpayer funded,
annual report to the community do
the job for them.

Hickey claims the voters approved

Legislature changed the law and hospital districts became health care districts that enabled public bodies to
run hospitals, or provide funds and
programs to better the health of district residents. That is exactly what

Obama wants to
take away free press
Editor,
Hitler, Stalin, Mau, Castro, Putin
and Chavez all had one thing in common: They seized control of the news
outlets. Now, our president is proposing the same thing. He wants to control and silence the Internet. Obama
says broadband Internet should be
regulated like a utility. President
Obama calls for tighter regulations,
leaving a little bit of wiggle room, in
an effort to preserve a free and open
Internet. The Internet is the only
source of alternative opinions and
views of current events.When bureaucrats control it, it wont be a free and
open Internet, it will be like Russia,
China, Cuba or Venezuela. Do we really want that?

Second chance
for veterans
oday is Veterans Day, the annual time officially

designated to honor those who honor the rest
of us with their service. American flags are
planted on grave sites, dignitaries speak of duty, federal
offices close and those not too wrapped up in holiday
sales and long weekends respectfully offer a collective
salute.
It is the very least we can do.
Come Wednesday, the great majority of us will be on
to other matters. Work, school, kids, groceries. Life
does go on, after all. Just because their day has passed,
though, doesnt
make these men and
women any less a
veteran or any less
due acknowledgment
of what they gave.
Sometimes that gets
lost and its up to
opportunities like
Veterans Court to
bring it back.
Its not hard to
think that the participants never imagined theyd find
themselves one day
in a courtroom. Serving in war, they might never have
thought theyd even come home. Serving in non-combat capacities, they might have predicted a solid future
carried by skills honed in the military. Substance abuse
and crime and despair all those things that brought
them into the justice system were probably the furthest thing from their minds. Recovery, respect, reconciliation all those things participation in the alternative court helps them bring out of the justice system
might never have felt a possibility.
But in courtroom 2D they are, at least for those willing to do the work.
Participants have honorable discharges, a probation
eligible conviction and a mental health condition
caused or exacerbated by their military service. Not
everybody qualifies. Not everyone even wants to give it
a try. Running the clock on jail and probation has to be
a lot easier than rules and supervision. Kudos to those
who undertake the challenge. A standing ovation for
those who succeed.
Veterans Court is held on Friday mornings. Last
Friday was special it was graduation day and the
seats were filled with graduates, loved ones, county
officials and the advocates and mentors who saw them
through the 16-month to two-year process to avoid jail,
clear their record and reclaim their lives. Squished up
against the back doors with the other latecomers or
those kind enough to give up seats to others, it would
have been impossible for me not to feel pride toward
these veterans.
Like most of those reading this, I didnt know these
people personally. Back in May, at the first Veterans
Court graduation I attended, a name here or there caught
my attention. Sometimes the crimes they had committed were newsworthy, turning their situation into a brief
story. A list of charges. Maybe a mug shot. Things for
the greater public to tsk tsk over while drinking coffee
before moving on to the sudoku.
Veterans Court, for those who qualify, is the chance
to remember they are so much more than that set of circumstances and an opportunity to give more than lip
service to the notion of returning the favor to those
who served their country.
Not every military member needs help. And not
everyone, like those at Fridays graduation, veer to the
other side of the spectrum. Reality is often scattered
throughout the middle.
Come Wednesday, the Veterans Day holiday will have
passed and life will go on. Thanks to innovative programs like Veterans Court, these individuals have the
opportunity to go on, too.

Business brief
Researchers say Apple devices at risk
SAN FRANCISCO Security researchers say theyve discovered a vulnerability in Apples software, called Masque
Attack, that hackers could use to steal sensitive information from iPhones or iPads by tricking device owners into
downloading a malicious app.
The app can be designed to look like an update for a legitimate app the owner is already using for email, banking or
other purposes, according to researchers at the FireEye
cyber-security company. Hackers can send the malicious
app in a link, contained in a phishing email or text that
looks like it comes from a trusted source.
FireEye says it hasnt seen any hackers use the flaw yet.
But its warning users not to install apps that dont come
from the official Apple store.

NEW YORK For stocks on

Monday, the path of least resistance
was up.
The Standard & Poors 500 index
and the Dow Jones industrial average
both edged up to all-time highs on a
day that was light on economic news
and company releases.
Toll Brothers, a builder of luxury
homes, rose after saying its revenue
surged in the most recent reporting
period. Dean Foods jumped after the
dairy company reported a much smaller loss than expected for its third quarter and projected a profit for the current quarter.
Stocks are trading at record levels,
having rebounded following a sharp
slump at the beginning of October.
Improving company earnings and
signs that the U.S. economy remains
solid, despite growth lagging overseas,
are
encouraging
stock
investors.
What is there to not like? said
Karyn Cavanaugh, a senior market
strategist at Voya Investment
Management. As we head into the
end of the year, earnings projections
for 2015 are looking strong.
The Standard & Poors 500 index
rose 6.34 points, or 0.3 percent, to
2,038.26. The Dow Jones industrial

average gained 39.81 points, or 0.2
percent, to 17,613.74. The Nasdaq
composite climbed 19.08 points, or
0.4 percent, to 4,651.62.
About 90 percent of companies in
the S&P 500 have reported their
third-quarter results, and their earnings are projected to rise at an average rate of 8.9 percent for the period,
according to S&P Capital IQ data.
That compares with growth of 4.9
percent in the same period a year ago,
and 10.4 percent in the second quarter.
Earnings are also forecast to keep
growing at a broadly similar pace in
coming quarters.
The economy is also providing
companies with a sound base. Reports
last week showed that U.S. manufacturing continued to expand and hiring
remained healthy.
On Monday, health care stocks rose
the most of the ten sectors in the
index. They climbed almost 1 percent, extending their gains for the
year to 22 percent.
Home builders rose after Toll
Brothers said that its revenue rose 29
percent in the most recent quarter and
average sales prices rose. Toll
Brothers stock climbed 73 cents, or
2.3 percent, to $32.95.
Other companies in the industry,
including Lennar Corp., PulteGroup

and D.R. Horton also rose.
Cable companies were among the
days losers after President Barack
Obama said regulators should reclassify the Internet as a public utility.
The president also said that Internet
providers shouldnt be allowed to cut
deals with online services like
Netflix, Amazon or YouTube to prioritize their content. In a statement
released by the White House Monday,
the president called for an explicit
ban on such deals.
Time Warner Cable fell $7.10, or
4.9 percent, to $136.50. Comcast fell
$2.20, or 4 percent, to $52.95.
Energy companies also resumed
their slide as the price of oil dropped
again.
The price of oil fell Monday on
expectations of continued high OPEC
output after the Kuwaiti oil minister
predicted no production cut this
month and an important field in Libya
appeared to be coming back online.
Benchmark U.S. crude fell $1.25 to
close at $77.40 a barrel on the New
York Mercantile Exchange. Brent
crude, a benchmark for international
oils used by many U.S. refineries, fell
$1.05 to close at $82.34 on the ICE
Futures exchange in London. Thats
the lowest close for Brent since
October 2010.
Google signs 60-year, $1B NASA lease

By Brandon Bailey
SAN FRANCISCO Google has

signed a long-term lease for part of a
historic Navy air base, where it plans
to renovate three massive hangars and
use them for projects involving aviation, space exploration and robotics.
The giant Internet company will pay
$1.16 billion in rent over 60 years for
the property, which also includes a
working air field, golf course and
other buildings. The 1,000-acre site is
part of the former Moffett Field Naval
Air Station on the San Francisco
Peninsula.
Google plans to invest more than
$200 million to refurbish the hangars
and add other improvements, including a museum or educational facility
that will showcase the history of
Moffett and Silicon Valley, according

to a NASA statement. The agency said
a Google subsidiary called Planetary
Ventures LLC will use the hangars for
research, development, assembly and
testing in the areas of space exploration, aviation, rover/robotics and
other emerging technologies.
Google founders Larry Page and
Sergey Brin have a well-known interest in aviation and space. The company has recently acquired several smaller firms that are working on satellite
technology and robotics. But a
Google
spokesperson
declined
Monday to discuss specific plans for
the property, which is located just a
few miles from the companys main
campus in Mountain View.
NASA plans to continue operating
its Ames Research Center on the former Navy site. Google will take over
operations at the runways and
hangars, including a massive structure

that was built to house dirigible-style
Navy airships in the 1930s. NASA
said the deal will save it $6.3 million
in annual maintenance and operation
costs.
Local officials praised Googles
promise to restore the historic structure known as Hangar One, which is a
San Francisco Bay Area landmark.
U.S. Rep. Anna Eshoo, D-Palo Alto,
called the lease agreement a major
win for our region.
Google already has a separate lease
for another portion of the former air
base, where it wants to build a second
campus. Page and Brin have also used
the Moffett runways for their collection of private jets, under another
lease arrangement thats been criticized by some watchdog groups who
say NASA gave the executives a sweetheart deal.
KiOR files for bankruptcy, but not Mississippi unit

By Jeff Amy
JACKSON, Miss. Biofuel maker

KiOR Inc. has filed for bankruptcy,
although its Mississippi subsidiary
has not, preserving the chance that its
Columbus plant could be sold quickly.
The company, based in Pasadena,
Texas, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy
protection late Sunday in U. S.
Bankruptcy Court in Delaware, where
its incorporated.
KiOR defaulted on a loan from
Mississippi last week after failing to
make a $1.8 million debt payment.

The state says KiOR Columbus LLC,
owned by KiOR, owes $78.6 million.
Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant said
he was working with Attorney General
Jim Hood and state Auditor Stacey
Pickering to recover the money.
We are going to exercise every
legal action possible to recover the
money owed to the Mississippi taxpayers, Bryant said in a statement to
the Associated Press.
The company borrowed $75 million
from Mississippi to build a refinery in
Columbus meant to make fuel from
wood chips. But the $230 million
plant never worked as designed and

KiOR laid off almost all of its workers.
The state is now trying to find a buyer
for the complex on the Tombigbee
River just west of downtown
Columbus. Its possible that the only
money Mississippi will recover will
come from the sale of the plant.
Its the second in a series of alternative energy businesses that went bust
after being loaned money by
Mississippi under Gov. Haley Barbour.
Solar panel maker Twin Creeks went
out of business in Senatobia after
receiving $27.7 million in aid but creating few jobs.
Google, Larry Page CEO donate to Ebola fight

NEW YORK Google is launching

a campaign to help fight Ebola by contributing $2 for every dollar people
donate to a slew of nonprofits such as
Save the Children and the Doctors
Without Borders.
In addition, the company is also giving $10 million to support nonprofits
as they work to contain the disease,
which has killed nearly 5,000 people
so far. Separately, Google Inc. CEO

Larry Pages Family Foundation is
donating another $15 million.
Google has set aside $5 million for
its matching donation, which means
the public will have to donate $2.5
million to reach the maximum amount.
This money will go to the donoradvised fund Network for Good, which
will then distribute it to four nonprofits doing critical work in West Africa,
Google said, adding that the company
will cover processing fees so that all

of the money donated will go to the
groups.
The gifts come on the heels of a $25
million donation last month by
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg and
his wife, Priscilla Chan toward Ebola
response. Facebook Inc. also launched
a button that makes it easier for its
users to donate to nonprofit groups
fighting the disease, though it is not
doing matching funds.

T
Athlete of the Week
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The West Bay Athletic League finals were

supposed to be a mere precursor to the epic
conclusion of Menlo senior Lizzie Lacys
varsity career.
With the Central Coast Section meet on
the horizon, Menlo head coach Jorge Chen
strategized with his star senior so that she
would carefully pace herself through last
Fridays WBAL meet at Belmonts Crystal
Springs Cross Country Course.
Lacy, however, had other ideas.
I kind of knew going in I was going to try
my best because I love the course so much,
Lacy said.
Oh, what a pace she set.
Lacy completed the 2.95-mile course in
just the slightest fraction over 17 minutes
flat to claim the WBAL girls individual title.
But several minutes after she crossed the
finish line of the rigorous Crystal Springs
course as the meets victor, Lacy wasnt sure
what all the commotion was about when, out
of the blue, an animated Chen began wildly
celebrating by hugging his fellow coaches
and screaming joyfully.
Jorge was really excited, Lacy said.
Apparently he jumped into my other coaches arms and was screaming. I didnt know
what he was screaming about at that point.
Her longtime coachs glee was a product of
learning Lacys time of 17:00.8 was the best
time recorded at Crystal Springs this season.
Also, it cracked the all-time top 10 list at
Crystal Springs since the course was lengthened to its present distance in 1971.
Because Lacy recorded the courses best
time of 2014 and the 10th best time in
Crystal Springs modern history, she has
been named the San Mateo Daily Journal
Athlete of the Week.
She pretty much killed it, Chen said.
And yet, with the CCS championship on
the slate for Saturday at Salinas Toro Park,
she didnt kill herself.
I feel like I ran a really smart race, but I
didnt feel like I killed myself for future
races, Lacy said.
Lacy said she has a history of failing to
contain her adrenaline. Her habit of starting
races too quickly has cost her throughout her
four-year varsity career. After her junior season though, she buckled down as she realized
she wanted ger running shoes to be able to
carry her to a good college.
So, as the three-sport athlete was smack
dab in the middle of her Menlo lacrosse season she also plays soccer for the Knights

No charges for McDonald

By Janie McCauley
SANTA CLARA Ray McDonald can

continue playing for the San Francisco
49ers without the burden of a domestic violence case that has followed him all season.
The Santa Clara County district attorneys office announced Monday that it
declined to file charges against the defensive lineman in an investigation stemming
from his Aug. 31 arrest.
Prosecutors said in a release that they had
insufficient evidence to charge McDonald.
They cited conflicting versions of what
happened, a lack of verifiable eyewitnesses
and a lack of cooperation by the alleged
victim, McDonalds fiancee.
All domestic violence complaints
deserve our concern, sensitivity and careful
review, District Attorney Jeff Rosen said
in the release. After our thorough review of
all the facts, we do not

have evidence sufficient
to convince a jury
beyond a reasonable
doubt that Mr. McDonald
committed a crime
against his fiancee.
McDonald has played
all season despite outRay McDonald side pressure on the
49ers to bench him. He
has 24 tackles, 15 of those solo, while
starting all nine games for the 49ers (5-4).
I appreciate the seriousness of the situation and I understand and respect that law
enforcement had a job to do, which is why I
cooperated fully with their investigation
from beginning to end, McDonald said in a
statement. I am relieved that the DAs
office has rightfully decided not to file

teams, including

Division V tourney.
County teams have a legitimate shot of
winning the Division I, IV and V titles.
Division III features two of the best teams
in the state in Sacred Heart Cathedral and
Valley Christian, seeded 1-2, respectively.
If those two teams did not meet for the
title, it would be a major upset.
Division I appears to be MenloAthertons to lose. Thats a lot of pressure
to put on a team, but the Bears have been

including a CCS championship in 2012.
M-A has gone 17-1 against CCS qualiers
this season and were 3-1 against teams
from the WCAL.
Division IV might be the most wide
open and, despite Notre Dame-Belmont
having arguably the best team in the county on paper there would be no shock
to see someone like Menlo or Sacred Heart

Knights and Gators have combined to win

Palmer out for season

By Bob Baum
TEMPE, Ariz. In his 12th NFL season, Carson Palmer was having the time
of his life.
A career of big numbers but little team success was reborn in the desert, where the
Arizona Cardinals, at 8-1, have the best
record in the NFL.
Then on Sunday, as the 34-year-old quarterback tried to evade a blitzing St. Louis Rams
safety, he felt his left knee give way.
Palmer knew immediately that his season
was over.
I didnt need an MRI or an X-ray, he said.
I felt a pop so I knew it was my last time on
the field this year.
Tests confirmed that it was a torn left ACL,
the same knee he injured even more severely
in a 2006 playoff game while with the
Cincinnati Bengals. The injury came two
days after he signed a three-year contract

extension worth $50 million, with $20.5
million guaranteed.
Surgery will wait for another two weeks to
allow the swelling to subside. The team
hopes he will be ready for OTAs next summer.
On Monday, Palmer hobbled into the
Cardinals media room on crutches and spoke
about the emotional pain.
Its not easy, he said. Im not going to
lie. I cried like a baby last night and Im not
an emotional guy. The last time I cried like
this was when I lost my friend and teammate
Chris Henry back in 09.
Palmer seemed to finally be within reach of
the kind of season so many had expected of
him when he was drafted No. 1 overall by the
Bengals in 2003. A Heisman Trophy winner
at USC, he stood 6-foot-5 with a cannon arm.
Huge statistical years followed, wins and

When Lacy reached Menlos middle school, she took up

with the girls soccer team, which happened to be coached
by Chen. So, three years later, when she entered her freshman year of high school, Chen encouraged her to join the
cross-country team. Along with encouragement from two
friends going out for the team, Jessica Juan and Julia
Weingart, Lacy decided to give it a try.
It took Lacy exactly two junior-varsity meets at the outset
of her freshman year to earn a varsity promotion. Her final
J.V. race was in the first WBAL meet in San Bruno, which she
won with a time of 20:31 on a 2.8-mile course.
That was not very good, but good enough to win a J.V.
race, she said.
With the rigors of running, Lacy has formed a love-hate
relationship with cross-country. She admits it is tough
work, but she quite enjoys the results.
You never really learn to love the sport, but you love the
feeling it gives you, Lacy said. So, I guess after the first
race, I loved the feeling of accomplishment.
As a junior last season, Lacys best time at Crystal
Springs was 18:34 a far cry from this years course best.
Her junior-year personal record is certainly in the wheelhouse of goodness though. Last Fridays finish obliterated
the rest of the field. The second-place finisher, Harkers Niki
Iyer, crossed the finish line over a full minute later at
18:19.1.
In fact, Lacys junior-year best would have garnered fourth
place at this years WBAL championship.
Now, with two meets remaining in her outstanding high
school career which concludes Nov. 29 with the state
finals at the 3.1-mile course at Fresnos Woodward Park
Lacy intends to put it all on the line.
Chen said Lacys toughest competition at the CCS meet
stands to be Santa Cruz Coast Athletic League champion
Cate Ratliff of Santa Cruz High School. And Lacy sounds
intent on making it a matchup to remember.
I think I will definitely put it out there, Lacy said. Its
going to be my second to last race of high school. So from
here on out Im going to be putting it all out there.

Rookie Carr hits bump in latest Raiders loss

By Josh Dubow
ALAMEDA As the Oakland Raiders

went through the first half of the season
without a win, one positive they could latch
onto was the promising play from rookie
quarterback Derek Carr.
The second half of the season started off
with another loss as Carr played his worst
game of the season in a 41-17 loss to the
Denver Broncos.
Carr threw two interceptions, threw
another pass to an ineligible offensive lineman that led to a fumble and was unable to
get the ball downfield at all until a late
garbage-time drive as the Raiders (0-9) lost
their 15th straight game.
Its not just Derek, interim coach Tony
Sparano said Monday. I know we want to
make this just about Derek, but its not really about Derek. I thought at times in the
game yesterday, the kid really did some
good things. Then there are times during the
ballgame yesterday you can tell that everybody at one point was trying to do a little
too much.
While Carr is getting
almost no help from a
running game on pace to
be the least productive in
the NFL since the 1946
Detroit Lions and a
receiving group that
struggles to get open, it
was his mistakes that
Derek Carr
played a big role in the
game spiraling out of control after the
Raiders took a 10-6 lead.
Oakland looked to add onto the lead late in
the first half with the ball near midfield
when Carr threw an ill-advised pass over the
middle that sailed on him after he was hit
and went right to Bradley Roby for an interception.
Three plays later, the Broncos took the
lead on a 51-yard touchdown pass to C.J.
Anderson. The Raiders followed that with
one of their nine three-and-outs in the
game, leading to one more Denver touchdown before the half.
The problems only got worse from there
as Carr dumped off a pass to guard Khalif

Barnes, thinking it was running back
Darren McFadden. Barnes caught the ball
even though he was ineligible and it would
have been a penalty. The problem only got
worse when Barnes fumbled, setting up
another Denver touchdown.
Carr threw another interception later in
the third quarter, setting up Mannings fifth
touchdown pass of the game.
Im really not sure what hes seeing out
there and why he threw some of the balls
that he threw up, or whatever, Oakland
safety Charles Woodson said after the game.
Im sure theres a combination of both of
those things a young guy, or maybe they
threw him some different looks maybe that
he hadnt seen. Im not sure, but these are
things hes going to have to go through.
Carr finished 30 for 47 for 192 yards with
two touchdowns and two interceptions. His
stat line was saved by a final drive when he
completed all seven passes for 96 yards and
a touchdown, saving him from having the
most attempts ever for a quarterback who
failed to reach 100 yards passing.
PALMER
playoff appearances didnt.
A year ago, Palmer came to Arizona
from Oakland, joining coach Bruce
Arians, who at 60 finally got a chance to
be an NFL head coach.
The parallels were obvious.
Like an old cowboy movie, Arians
said at the time. This is our last rodeo in
the desert.
After struggling with the intricacies of
Arians offense for the first half of last
season, Palmer eventually grew more
comfortable. Arizona won seven of its
last nine to finish 10-6, barely missing
the playoffs.
This season, Palmer went down in the
opener with a damaged nerve in his
throwing shoulder. He missed the next
three contests, with backup Drew Stanton
going 2-1. Palmer returned and Arizona
kept winning, going 8-1 for the first time

The past two weeks with four interceptions and 386 yards passing on 88 attempts
have been a step back for a player who got

NOTES: Sparano gave the players the day
off Monday despite the latest loss. With two
games in the next 10 days, including Nov.
20 at home against Kansas City, he felt it
was necessary to give the players a break.
At some point, you have to give the players a chance to stop for some gas somewhere, Sparano said.

said. Im having more fun than Ive ever

had in my entire career. Im on the best
team Ive ever been on, a phenomenal
group of guys from the top down.
Arizona has won 13 of Palmers last 15
starts. This season, they are 6-0 with
him. He has thrown for 11 touchdowns
with three interceptions.
Elated with Palmer, the Cardinals
signed him last Friday to the three-year
contract extension.
With the Super Bowl to be played in
Arizona next February, the Cardinals had
visions of playing the big game on their
home field, with Palmer leading the way.
Its hard, Arians said. I knew walking out on the field what I was going to
find. Youre pulling for a guy because hes
put so much into it to get into the playoffs and win some games and maybe go
all the way because you know what it
means to him at this point in his career.
Palmer vowed that he would play football again.
There was no contact when Palmer was
hurt. He had stepped up to avoid blitzing
safety Mark Barron.
Ive done that move thousands of
times, Palmer said. ... My foot hit the
grass and the grass gave way. It was just a
freak thing.
He knows whats ahead. Rebuilding his
knee nine seasons ago was an even bigger challenge.
In that game, he completed his first
pass for 66 yards, was hit and crumpled to
the ground. He had signed a $100 million
contract extension 10 days earlier, an
eerily familiar scenario.
Crazy, he said.
Palmer appeared in only one other
playoff game. His team lost them both.
Now any Arizona Super Bowl run will
have to come without its starting quarterback and offensive team captain, the latest in an imposing list of Cardinals players lost due to injury.
As a cart wheeled him out of the stadium, Palmer heard the cheers of the fanatic
Cardinals Red Sea.
Theres so much electricity in the stadium on Sundays and theres so much
hope, theres so much excitement and
theres so much faith and belief (from) our
fans, Palmer said. Thats not the way
you ever want to leave a stadium, but this
was a special year to play in front of our
fans in our stadium. Nothing says we
cant finish this season in our stadium in
front of a lot of our fans.

Abreu, deGrom voted Rookies of the Year

By Ronald Blum
NEW YORK Jose Abreu and Jacob deGrom

were far from the major leagues at the start of
2013.
Abreu was playing for Cienfuegos in Cuba,
and deGrom was in A-ball for the second straight
year after coming back from Tommy John surgery.
On Monday, the pair were runaway winners in
balloting for rookies of the year.
The Chicago White Sox first baseman was
voted the AL honor unanimously by the
Baseball Writers Association of America, and
the New York Mets pitcher won the NL award in
a landslide.
One year after defecting from Cuba, the 27year-old Abreu had a .581 slugging percentage
to become the first qualifying rookie to lead the
major leagues since Oaklands Mark McGwire in
1987, according to STATS. Abreu was sixth in
batting at .317, tied for fourth in home runs
with 36 and fifth in RBIs with 107.
He said playing in the major leagues never
crossed my mind when I was a kid in Cuba.
But in 2013, after the World Classic, I realized that I belonged to the major leagues and I
am very happy that Im here, Abreu said
through a translator during a news conference in
Chicago. And Im very happy that my familys

happy that I am in the major leagues. Of course,
now I realize that I could make it.
Abreu received all 30 first place votes for 150
points in balloting by the Baseball Writers
Association of America.
Los Angeles Angels right-hander Matt
Shoemaker was second with 40 points, followed
by New York Yankees reliever Dellin Betances
(27), Houston pitcher Collin McHugh (21) and
Yankees pitcher Masahiro Tanaka (16), who was
hurt for most of the seasons second half.
Abreu hit .383 with three homers and nine
RBIs for Cuba at last years World Baseball
Classic, then defected that summer and signed a
$68 million, six-year contract with the White
Sox in October. He became the sixth White Sox
player to earn the honor following Luis
Aparicio (1956), Gary Peters (1963), Tommie
Agee (1966), Ron Kittle (1983) and Ozzie
Guillen (1985).
Playing baseball in Cuba made me the whole
player I am now, Abreu said. I learned baseball
in Cuba, and Im very grateful of that.
DeGrom received 26 of 30 first-place votes
and 142 points. Speedy Cincinnati outfielder
Billy Hamilton was second with four firsts and
92 points. He hit .285 with 38 stolen bases in
the first half, then slumped to .200 with 18
steals after the All-Star break.
I was just thankful to be in the big leagues

this year, DeGrom said.
A shortstop in college, deGroms career went
on hiatus for a year when he needed reconstructive elbow surgery in October 2010.
I just tried to stick with the rehab program
that I was given and follow it step by step, he
said. Thankfully I had a pretty smooth rehab
process and never had any setbacks, and I was
on schedule the whole way.
He made it to Triple-A this year and was a
month shy of his 26th birthday when he was
called up to pitch out of the bullpen last
spring. But an injury to Dillon Gee led to
deGroms debut as a starter against the
Yankees on May 15.
He was very much on our radar, Mets pitching coach Dan Warthen said. We were going to
find a spot for Jacob deGrom.
With his shoulder-length hair flapping out
from under his cap, deGrom was a hit right from
the start: His third-inning single in the 1-0
defeat ended an 0-for-64 start to the season at the
plate for New Yorks pitchers, the worst slide to
open a season in major league history.
DeGrom went 0-4 with a 4.39 ERA in his first
seven starts, then won at Miami with seven
scoreless innings on June 21. He went on to win
nine of his last 11 decisions, compiling a 1.99
ERA, and finished 9-6 with a 2.69 ERA.
MLB free agents all decline offers

NEW YORK For the third straight year,

baseballs free agents shunned qualifying
offers from their former teams and chose to test
the market.
All 12 free agents who were given the $15.3
million offers last week chose not to accept by
Mondays 5 p.m. EST deadline.
One of the dozen, Colorado outfielder
Michael Cuddyer, became the first major free
agent to switch teams when he agreed to a $21
million, two-year contract with the New York
Mets.
World Series star Pablo Sandoval (San
Francisco) also let the deadline pass, as did
pitcher Max Scherzer and first baseman-designated hitter Victor Martinez (Detroit), and lefthander Francisco Liriano and catcher Russell
Martin (Pittsburgh).
The others were shortstop

Hanley
Ramirez
(Los
Angeles Dodgers), outfielder Nelson Cruz (Baltimore),
right-hander James Shields
(Kansas City), closer David
Robertson
(New York
Yankees), outfielder Melky
Cabrera (Toronto) and
Pablo Sandoval pitcher Ervin Santana
(Atlanta).
In the three offseasons of the current collective bargaining agreement, none of the 34
qualifying offers have been accepted.
Players offered the qualifying offer carefully
considered their options and decided to pursue
further free agency rather than accept a $15.3
million contract in a market that should be
robust given the economic health of the
game, union head Tony Clark said in an email.

The club signing that player loses its firstround pick in the amateur draft, unless that
pick is among the top 10, in which case the

Former Vikings safety Orlando Thomas dies of ALS

By Dave Campbell
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. As ALS began

to destroy his body, Orlando Thomas lost
his ability to move.
Then he could no longer speak. His wife,
Demetra, guided him through every
painstaking word.
Shed have to go through the entire
alphabet, and hed blink his eye. The only
muscle that worked was his eyelids, so he
would blink at the letter, said Mark
Bartelstein, the former agent for the free
safety who led the NFL in interceptions as a
rookie for the Minnesota Vikings in 1995.
Sentences would take forever.
The effort was worth it for friends and family of the beloved Thomas.
He died Sunday at 42 in his hometown of
Crowley, Louisiana, after fighting the fatal
amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, the neurodegenerative disease commonly known as Lou
Gehrigs disease, for more than 10 years.
The death was confirmed Monday by the
Vikings, Bartelstein and Glenn Boullion,
the director of Geesey-Ferguson Funeral
Home in Crowley.
The Vikings issued a
statement expressing
their sadness and condolences to his family.
He represented the
franchise and the state of
Minnesota with the
utmost dignity and
class, the team said.
Orlando
While his outgoing
Thomas
personality made him a
favorite among his teammates, Orlandos
involvement in the community made him a
favorite outside of Winter Park.
Thomas played seven seasons for the
Vikings.
We use great hyperbole or drama, but
theres no way I could even properly
describe his courage and his class and his
selflessness, just the way hes handled
everything, said Bartelstein, who represented Thomas throughout his career. All
he ever worried about was everybody else.
Never self-pity. Never woe is me. It was
always, How are you doing? Hows your
family? How are your kids? He never want-
ed to talk about what he was going

through.
Thomas went through a lot. The average
survival time, according to the ALS
Association, is three to five years. He more
than doubled that.
He was so tough, and thats what allowed
him to fight this thing for so long,
Bartelstein said.
A hard-hitting overachiever who played
for the Louisiana-Lafayette Ragin Cajuns,
then known as Southwestern Louisiana,
Thomas was drafted in the second round by
the Vikings. He picked off nine passes that
year in 1995 and finished with 22 for his
career. He scored four touchdowns on returns
and was a key player on two Vikings teams
that reached the NFC championship game,
after the 1998 and 2000 seasons.
But that punishing playing style produced
a number of injuries, keeping him out of a
total of 13 games over his last three years in
the league. It also likely paved the way for
the onset of ALS.
I dont have any doubt that theres a correlation to it, Bartelstein said. But at the
same time I also know that he loved the

game so much, and he got so much from it.
It took everything from him, but it also
gave him so much. Thats sort of the tough
thing to get your arms around.
Medical research has shown deaths from
Alzheimers, Parkinsons and Lou Gehrigs
diseases, when combined, have occurred at
about three times the predicted rate for the
general population. In a 2010 study by
Boston University neurology professor Dr.
Ann McKee, toxic proteins were found in
the spinal cords of three athletes who sustained head injuries in competition and were
later diagnosed with ALS.
The disease attacks nerve cells in the
brain and spinal cord.
As part of a concussions lawsuit settlement between the NFL and former players,
those who develop Lou Gehrigs disease,
dementia or other neurological problems
believed to be caused by concussions sustained during their careers have been slated
for financial relief.

wins over M-A, Sequoia and

Crystal Springs has experienced
a lot of post-season success, rst
as a North Coast Section power

WBAL rival Priory.
***
Very rarely do I ever report on or
repeat conversations I have along
the sidelines. I believe what is said
on the sidelines, stays on the sidelines because the players and
coaches are not expecting to be
interviewed when emotions and
adrenaline are at their highest.
But having worked the Peninsula
Athletic League beat for 13 years,
Ive developed relationship with
coaches, to the point I think I
wouldnt be speaking out of class
if I mentioned some of the things I
overheard or brief talks I had with
Aragons Steve Sell and
Burlingame John Philipopoulos.
With the retirement of Bill Gray
as Terra Novas head coach, Sell
and Philipopoulos become the two
longest-tenured coaches in the
PAL, with Sell the new dean of
the league. They are two coaches I
go to for a lot for information on
the state of the PAL and CCS and
are well respected among section
coaches and athletic directors.

Anyone who knows Sell knows
he has one the driest, pun-iest
senses of humor around, so when
his team was called for a false start
on the rst play from scrimmage
during his teams 25-17 win over
South City, he told his coaches via
the head set, Well, at least we got
a free look at their defense.
Thats spinning a negative into
a positive.
Later, as I watched the Sacred
Heart Prep-Burlingame showdown
unfold Friday night, I happened to
nd myself standing next to
Philipopoulos. He told me he
heard through the grapevine that
SHP running back Ben Burr-Kirven
might have been hobbling around
last week.
It was late in the rst quarter when
Philipopoulos said he hoped BurrKirven would play. He wanted to
beat the best at their best, he said.
As the teams changed elds to
start the second quarter, BurrKirven made his rst appearance in
the Gators backeld. He took the
handoff and ripped off a 48-yard
run on his rst carry of the game.
Philipopoulos and I looked at
each other and both said something along the lines of, He
looks ne.
Burr-Kirven went on to rush for
96 yards and three scores on just
nine carries in the Gators 35-14
win over the Panthers.

VA chief vows renewed focus on customer service

By Matthew Daly
WASHINGTON On the eve of Veterans

Day, the Veterans Affairs Department
announced a reorganization Monday
designed to make it easier for veterans to
gain access to the sprawling department and
its maze-like websites.
VA Secretary Robert McDonald called the
restructuring the largest in the departments
history and said it will bring a singular
focus on customer service to an agency that
serves 22 million veterans.
As VA moves forward, we will judge the
success of all our efforts against a single
metric: the outcomes we provide for veterans, McDonald said. The VAs mission is to
care for veterans, so we must become more
focused on veterans needs, he said.
The VA has been under intense scrutiny
since a whistleblower reported this spring
that dozens of veterans may have died while
awaiting treatment at the Phoenix VA hospital, and that appointment records were
manipulated to hide the delays. A report by
the departments inspector general said
workers falsified waitlists while their supervisors looked the other way or even directed
it, resulting in chronic delays for veterans
seeking care and bonuses for managers who
appeared to meet on-time goals.
The inspector generals office identified
40 patients who died while awaiting
appointments in Phoenix, but said officials
could not conclusively assert that the
delays caused the deaths.
As part of the restructuring announced
Monday, the VA will hire a chief customer
service officer and simplify the way it is
organized to deliver health care and other
services, McDonald said. For instance, the

department will create a single customer
service structure with a limited number of
regional divisions that will apply to all
aspects of the agency, from health care to
benefits, loan centers and even cemetery
plots. The VA now has nine separate regional structures of varying size and at least a
dozen websites, many with their own user
names and passwords.
Eventually, McDonald would like all veterans to have one user name and password
for all VA services. McDonald hopes to complete the reorganization within a year.
Veterans also should be able to communicate with officials in a single region to
solve problems, McDonald said. Under the
current structure, a veteran may live in one
VA region for health care, another region for
mortgage services and a third for veterans
benefits.
The reorganization, to be known as
MyVA, is designed to provide veterans
with a seamless, integrated and responsive

person, McDonald said.
McDonald, a former CEO of consumergoods giant Procter & Gamble, has been
pushing to refocus the VA on customer service since taking over the troubled agency in
July, following a scandal over long patient
wait times for veterans seeking health care
and widespread falsification of records by
VA employees and managers to cover up the
delays.
McDonald has been urging VA employees
to refer to veterans as customers and to refer
to him as Bob, rather than Secretary. He

into trouble this past year over its placement on about 6,000 square feet of Mills
High School campus in Millbrae since parents from Mills felt they werent given
enough input or notice about the cohabitation with d. Tech. The district, under
Proposition 39, passed by California voters in 2000, is required to make reasonably
equivalent facilities available to charters.
School districts are allowed to charge charter schools for use of district facilities under
the proposition.
It will be a different process than it was
last year; I think the district will carry a different process, Montgomery said. All
board members say they realize now there
should have been more input into it. We
dont want any conspiracy theories about
why were there.
The SMART Center fits with the charters
needs since its program requires a single
contiguous school site in which to operate,
the school wrote in a letter to the district
dated Oct. 31. The letter goes on to state
that this district site resembles what the
school needs a central and contiguous

site since students have flexible schedules
and must be able to access any portion of
the campus at any time. It also requires
space for nine classrooms, four staff
offices, one common work area, three supply closets, a fabrication lab, a science lab,
two learning hubs and a general assembly
area.
The San Mateo Adult School, which
serves adults wanting to learn English and
earn GED degrees, is part of a state-created
regional consortia made up of community
colleges and school districts to determine
the future of adult education. The school is
currently under the San Mateo Union High
School District and is working with colleges in the San Mateo County Community
College District, along with four other adult
schools in the area as part of a consortium,
said Assistant Director Tim Doyle. Some
students at the school have expressed fears
older students could get cut from adult education to focus more on job and college-based
programs. For this school year, the program received $3 million in funding,
according to Adult School Director Larry
Teshara. The future of adult school programming is still uncertain, but he would not
like to see adult school students end up
being sent to community colleges, he said.
California Certied Acupuncturist & Herbalist
Theres no current plan to move out,

Teshara said. Its somebodys wish, but
certainly not a plan. The districts got a
real problem. Were bound in a very small
area and a very expensive property.
The Adult School would not be fine with a
co-location, Teshara said.
One of the reasons our program has been
so successful is having our own campus and
identity, he said. Theyre (d.Tech) entitled
to that too.
The school has projected its ninth-grade
enrollment at 141 and its 10th-grade
enrollment at 133.2 totaling 274.2 during
the 2015-16 school year. Design Tech predicts 167.3, or 61 percent, average daily
attendance, ADA, will be generated by students who reside within the districts
boundaries and 106.9, 39 percent, ADA will
be generated by students who reside outside
the districts boundaries. Next year, it will
accommodate ninth- and 10th-graders. By
2017-18, the school will have grades nine
to 12.
Th e di s t ri ct s an al y s i s recently
began, said Liz McManus, deputy superintendent of business services, in an
email. Our analysis has not yet determined the best viable option. This best
and most viable site should be identified

reporters and veterans alike and urged

them to call him with questions and
suggestions.
Some members of Congress have
disputed the inspector generals report
on the Phoenix deaths and suggested
all criteria has been considered.

There wouldnt be enough space for colocation of the Adult School and d.Tech
though, McManus said.
The Adult School comes in ebbs and
flows; [students] come during day and
night, she said. If students (at the Adult
School) only came at night it would be a feasible option. We have to drill down and figure out what the options are.
The district has various deadlines for the
facilities process with d.Tech. By Dec. 1, it
must notify d.Tech in writing of any objections it has to the schools projected ADA.
By Jan. 2, 2015, the charter must respond
to any objections raised by the district
regarding its ADA projections. The district
must provide a preliminary offer of facilities to d.Tech, along with detailed information about the offer and a draft facilities use
agreement by Feb. 1, 2015. The school has
until March 1, 2015, to respond to the districts preliminary offer, while the district
must submit a final offer of facilities by
April 1, 2015. The school then has a month
to accept the districts offer, according to a
staff report.
The charter schools first day of school is
Aug. 10, 2015, so it will need access to a
new facility on or before Aug. 1, 2015,
according to the letter from d.Tech.
that language casting doubt on the

link between the delays and patient
deaths was inserted at the suggestion
of top VA officials in Washington. The
IGs office and the VA have denied that
claim.
Three high-ranking officials at the
Phoenix facility have been placed on
leave while they appeal a department
decision to fire them. Four other highranking executives around the country
were targeted for removal, but only
one was fired. Two officials retired and

a third was granted an extension for
more time to respond to the VAs decision. The scandal led to the ouster of
former VA Secretary Eric Shinseki and
to a new law making it easier for veterans to get VA-paid care from local doctors.
McDonald told the CBS News program 60 Minutes on Sunday that the
VA is considering disciplinary action
against more than 1,000 employees.

Study: Hundreds of kids harmed by detergent pods

By Lindsey Tanner
CHICAGO Accidental poisonings from squishy laundry

detergent packets sometimes mistaken for toys or candy landed
more than 700 U.S. children in the
hospital in just two years,
researchers report. Coma and
seizures were among the most serious complications.
The cases stem from the more
than 17,000 poison center calls
about the products received in the
past two years. The calls involved
children younger than 6 and most
werent seriously harmed. But one
child died last year and the potential
risks highlight a need for even safer
packaging, the researchers said.
Some manufacturers already
have revised packaging and labels
in efforts to make the detergent
packets or pods safer for children. The study found calls dipped
slightly after some of those
changes were made.
The products contain concentrated liquid laundry soap and
became widely available in the
U.S. two years ago. Some are multicolored and may look enticing to
young children. Poisoning or
injuries including mouth, throat
and eye burns can occur when kids
burst the capsules or put them in
their mouths.
In the study, 144 had eye
injuries, 30 went into comas and
12 had seizures.
Exposure to household cleaning
products is among the top reasons
Laundry detergent packets contain concentrated liquid laundry soap and became widely available in the U.S.
two years ago. Some are multicolored and may look enticing to young children.
for calls to poison centers involving young children. In 2012,
detergent packet calls accounted
for a fraction about 6 percent
of the 111,000 calls involving
young children and cleaning products, according to the American
Association of Poison Control
Centers. Many calls involve regu-
lar laundry detergent, which can

cause mild stomach upsets, but
poison center experts say the new
concentrated laundry packets seem
to cause more severe problems.
Jessica Morin of Houston says
her
9-month-old
daughter,
Marlow, was sickened earlier this
year when Jessicas grandmother
mistook a detergent pod for a

teething toy and put it in the
babys mouth.
I called poison control and
they said to take her to the ER
immediately, Morin said. Marlow
was repeatedly vomiting and
underwent tests, but doctors at
Texas Childrens Hospital found
no serious damage and she didnt

need to stay overnight.
We were very lucky, Morin
said. We dont have those pods in
our house anymore.
The researchers examined 201213 data from the poison control
centers group. Their study was
published online Monday in
Pediatrics.
Overall, there were 17,230 poison center calls about young kids
getting into the packets, including 769 children who were hospitalized. Dr. Gary Smith, the
studys lead author, said his hospital had two recent cases kids
who developed breathing problems and required treatment in the
intensive care unit. Hes director
of the Center for Injury Research
and Policy at Nationwide
Childrens Hospital in Columbus,
Ohio.
The
American
Cleaning
Institute, which represents makers
of cleaning products, issued voluntary guidance in March encouraging manufacturers to use labels
that prominently list safe handling information. The cleaning
institute said it is also working
with manufacturers to educate parents. But a survey the group
released last week suggests many
consumers still dont know about
the risks.
The Consumer Product Safety
Commission says children should
not be allowed to handle the packets and advises parents to store
them out of childrens sight and
reach.

DATEBOOK
BELMONT
The citys current outdated General
Plan, which serves as a policy template and guide, was adopted in 1982.
The update is anticipated to last
through 2035 and will take a look at
seven key aspects land use and zoning, traffic and circulation, housing,
conservation and open space, noise,
safety and implementation, said
Community Development Director
Carlos de Melo.
Its certainly exciting for the city
to embark on a comprehensive update
of our General Plan. Its certainly long
overdue and were interested in moving
through the process, very interested in
chiefly getting public input and have
folks participate, de Melo said. Kind
of the key thing were looking for in
the workshop is giving folks the
opportunity to express what they like
about Belmont, what theyd like to see
changed and essentially what theyd
like to see in Belmont over the next 20
years.
The General Plan helps guide the
citys future social, physical and economic development by specifying
locations for new businesses, residences, roads, parks and other public
infrastructure, according to the citys
Community
Development
Department. The plan will also help
the city prepare for future growth,
attract businesses and jobs, protect
natural resources and maintain public
safety and municipal services, according to the department.
Its a pivotal time for Belmont as it
has embarked on various plans and
studies that will inform the update, de
Melo said. Projects like the Ralston
Avenue Corridor Study, which has sug-

stemmed from an odor complaint and
reports of an explosion and fire were
unfounded, said San Mateo Fire Chief
Mike Keefe, who oversees operations
in San Mateo, Belmont and Foster
City.
Everyone in the 263-room motel
was evacuated and, according to
Belmont police staff and guests,
reported shortness of breath, burning
eyes and vomiting. All were treated and
released at the scene.
gested improvements to ease traffic

and promote safety along one of the
citys busiest roads, and the Belmont
Village Plan, which will evaluate how
to create a successful and centralized
downtown, are in the pipeline.
Belmont, like many other San Mateo
County cities, is also in the midst of
solidifying its Housing Element,
which outlines how many residential
units cities need to provide over the
next eight years.
Theres a lot of plans out there,
hopefully they can mesh together and
create a unified vision for the city
going forward, de Melo said.
Councilman Charles Stone said hes
very excited to help shape the future of
Belmont and help create a centralized
downtown. Often, cities must review
policies, zoning and different plans
individually, but the General Plan
update will provide the community a
chance to take a comprehensive look,
Stone said.
Thats what makes it so special.
Because of the nature of governing,
because of the nature of policymaking,
we have to make decisions piecemealed sometimes; we just dont have
a choice. But this is a rare opportunity
to make a more global change, Stone
said.
De Melo agreed the downtown
Belmont Village Plan will serve a
major role in the General Plan update
and include possible zoning changes
to allow for development.
That is a very key component to
this effort because thats where the city
has kind of a larger vision for activity
and action in this area of the city, de
Melo said. Its a key development
area. [Transit-oriented development]
principals are certainly going to be
discussed and addressed as part of the
General Plan.
De Melo said he anticipates the
It was an odor investigation and we
suspect it was some type of pepper
spray used in the hallway. And thats
consistent with the complaints of
folks outside, Keefe said.
A woman, who preferred to go by the
nickname Sammy, was staying on the
third floor and said she and her friends
had just bought pepper spray and
decided to test it out in the hotel to
make sure it worked. Shortly after dispensing the spray, Sammy said they
went to the Hobees Restaurant next
door to eat when they heard the
engines and response teams.
Sammy said she used to live in San
Francisco and had been staying at the
entire process to take around 18

months and Wednesdays meeting will
serve as a kickoff. City staff and consultants will explain what a General
Plan is and the community is encouraged to attend and provide feedback, de
Melo said.
The city will host multiple workshops and the public will have ample
time to provide input during Planning
Commission and City Council meetings, de Melo said. The General Plan
update includes an environmental
impact report that will also garner
public input and require City Council
approval, de Melo said.
The City Council has budgeted
$550,000 for the update and has hired
the lead consulting team Dyett &
Bhatia, Urban and Regional Planners,
according to de Melo and the department.
But most important to the formation
of the plan that will set the stage for
the future of the city, is public participation, Stone and de Melo said.
The General Plan is a template and a
guide for the future of the community
and this is an exciting time for
Belmont because all of us, policy makers, staff and community members, are
going to get a chance to lay the
groundwork for what Belmont looks
like 20 years from now, Stone said.
Im just so hopeful that people will
come to this meeting and get engaged
and will help be part of this process.
The first community workshop to
discuss Belmonts General Plan update
is 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Wednesday, Nov.
12 on the second floor of City Hall, 1
Twin Pines Lane, Belmont. The city
has also created a dedicated website at

AMENDED NOTICE OF PETITION TO

ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
Marion Louise Hines
Case Number: 125033
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of: Marion Louise Hines. A
Petition for Probate has been filed by Peter Mary Morris in the Superior Court of
California, County of San Mateo. The
Petition for Probate requests that Mary
Morris be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the
decedent.
The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to
give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to
the proposed action.) The independent
administration authority will be granted
unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant the
authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: December 22, 2014
at 9:00 a.m., Dept. 28, Superior Court of
California, County of San Mateo, 400
County Center, Redwood City, CA
94063.
If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing
and state your objections or file written
objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person
or by your attorney.
If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your
claim with the court and mail a copy to
the personal representative appointed by
the court within the later of either (1) four
months from the date of first issuance of
letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the
California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days
from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section
9052 of the California Probate Code.
Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.
You may examine the file kept by the
court. If you are a person interested in
the estate, you may file with the court a
Request for Special Notice (form DE154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition
or account as provided in Probate Code
section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.
