Fight FROMPAGE1 The EDD estimated a de- crease of 170 jobs from De- cember to January. Those losses were fairly spread out across all industries. California, as a whole, saw its largest monthly job gain in more than a year with an addition of 67,300 new positions in January. The statewide unemploy- ment rate is 6.9 percent, a drop from the 7.1 percent re- ported in December. It's thefirst timethestate's jobless rate has been below 7 percent since May 2008. The national unemploy- ment rate increased to 5.7 percent in January. TheAssociatedPresscon- tributed to this story.

What followed was months of allegations traded between two fac- tions of the tribe, leading to an armed standoff between the factions outside Rolling Hills Casino last June. Subsequently, the two factions came to an agree- ment to hold an election last September "to allow the members of the tribe to determine the tribe's gov- erning body," according to a Daily News article pub- lished last July. The elec- tion resulted in the tribe ul- timately siding against the ousted members. The lawsuit filed Tuesday follows an audit handled by the WilmerHale law firm, which "concluded that there had been a widespread and systematic failure to comply with Tribal laws and a dissi- pation of Tribal assets," ac- cording to a news release regarding the lawsuit. "Since April 2014, the duly elected members of the Tribal Council have been hard at work both cleaning up the mess the defendants left behind and searching for the money stolen from the Tribe," said Andrew Purdy, counsel for the tribe, in the release. "The defen- dants' actions are made all the worse in that these four did not keep a paper trail of their grossly extravagant spending."

DEATH NOTICES By Don Thompson The Associated Press SACRAMENTO A federal judge on Tuesday outlined a plan for California to end nearly a decade of fed- eral control over its prison health care system. U.S. District Court Judge Thelton Henderson of San Francisco acted af- ter a court-appointed over- seer reported that condi- tions have substantially improved since Henderson appointed a receiver to run the medical system in 2006. Each of the state's 34 prisons must pass an in- spection before they can be returned to state con- trol, Henderson said. The inspections are underway and are expected to take more than a year. The state has spent $2 billion for new prison med- ical facilities, doubled its annual prison health care budget to nearly $1.7 bil- lion and reduced its prison population by more than 40,000 inmates in the last decade to address what Henderson said were con- ditions so poor that they violated inmates' constitu- tional rights against cruel and unusual punishment. However, some prisons lag far behind others and more work still needs to be done system-wide, receiver J. Clark Kelso reported. The transition back to state control hinges on medical inspections of those prisons by the in- spector general of the state Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. Prisons that pass muster could be returned to state control, Henderson said. If conditions at a prison de- cline, the receiver could re- take control, but Henderson said the receiver is expected to eventually take on "more of a monitoring function." If the state keeps control of all the prisons for a year, Henderson said he will pre- sume that health care meets constitutional standards and that he should consider ending the receivership. INSPECTIONS Judge outlines plan for state to regain prison control By Anthony Mccartney The Associated Press LOS ANGELES A jury awarded Marvin Gaye's children nearly $7.4 million Tuesday after determining singers Robin Thicke and Pharrell Williams copied their father's music to cre- ate "Blurred Lines," the big- gest hit song of 2013. Marvin Gaye's daugh- ter Nona Gaye wept as the verdict was being read and was hugged by her attorney, Richard Busch. "Right now, I feel free," Nona Gaye said after the verdict. "Free from ... Phar- rell Williams and Robin Thicke's chains and what they tried to keep on us and the lies that were told." The verdict could tar- nish the legacy of Williams, a reliable hit-maker who has won Grammy Awards and appears on NBC's mu- sic competition show "The Voice." An attorney for Thicke and Williams has said a decision in favor of Gaye's heirs could have a chilling effect on musicians who try to emulate an era or an- other artist's sound. The Gayes' lawyer branded Williams and Thicke liars who went be- yond trying to emulate the sound of Gaye's late-1970s music and copied the R&B legend's hit "Got to Give It Up" outright. "They fought this fight despite every odd being against them," Busch said of the Gaye family outside court. Thicke told jurors he didn't write "Blurred Lines," which Williams testified he crafted in about an hour in mid-2012. Williams told jurors that Gaye's music was part of the soundtrack of his youth. But the seven-time Grammy winner said he didn't use any of it to create "Blurred Lines." Gaye's children — Nona, Frankie and Marvin Gaye III — sued the singers in 2013 and were present when the verdict was read. The verdict may face years of appeals. 2013 HIT Ju ry fi nd s Ph ar re ll , Th ic ke copied for 'Blurred Lines' song NICK UT — THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Attorney Richard Busch, far le , walks with the late singer, Marvin Gaye's family members, from le , daughter, Nona Gaye, ex-wife, Jan Gaye, and son, Frankie Gaye, outside the Los Angeles U.S. District Court. The Associated Press SAN JOSE Authorities are searching Northern Cali- fornia for a child molester suspect who overpowered a guard and escaped from custody during an out-of- jail hospital visit. A spokesman with the Santa Clara County Sher- iff's Department says Johnell Carter escaped from custody on Friday afternoon during a visit to a San Jose hospital. He is still believed to be in the area. The 40-year-old was being held in jail on five charges of molesting a 9-year-old girl. He was ar- rested by police in Camp- bell, last March. He has pleaded not guilty to the charges. Carter is described as a 220-pound black man who is 5 feet 11 inches tall with a shaved head and the word "Amy" tattooed on his neck. He was last seen wearing jail-issue green shirt and pants. HOSPITAL VISIT Child molester suspect escapes Northern California custody By Elliot Spagat The Associated Press SAN DIEGO State and fed- eral officials have more than halved the amount of California desert land designated for potential renewable energy plants in a nod to local govern- ments that want more time to set rules for large-scale solar, wind and geother- mal plants on private land. Agencies including the U.S. Bureau of Land Man- agement and California Energy Commission said Tuesday that authorities will initially concentrate on about 10 million acres of federal land. Their orig- inal roadmap, announced in September, designated 22.5 million acres. The latest plan puts aside potential projects on private land for the mo- ment. The new phased ap- proach comes after author- ities fielded about 12,000 public comments on the proposal. Env ironment a list s worry that limiting proj- ects to federal land may jeopardize highly sensi- tive wildlife areas. DE SE RT L AND US , Ca li fo rn ia s hr in k area for renewable energy plants The Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO A lead- ing hospital management company has backed out of a proposed multi-million dollar deal to buy six non- profit Catholic hospitals in the Los Angeles and San Francisco Bay areas. The Daughters of Char- ity Health System hospi- tals are struggling finan- cially, and Prime Health- care Services had agreed to keep them operating at least five years. Attorney General Ka- mala Harris last month im- posed conditions that ulti- mately unraveled the deal. She wanted Prime to run the hospitals for as long as 10 years. Daughters says Prime decided that would set a bad precedent. A Prime representative was not immediately available for comment. The six hospitals are O'Connor Hospital in San Jose, Saint Louise Re- gional Hospital in Gilroy, Seton Medical Center in Daly City, Seton Coastside in Moss Beach, St. Francis Medical Center in Lynwood and St. Vincent's Medical Center in Los Angeles.

No man ever had a more difficult time in keeping his country out of war. The provocations must have tried his patience severely. The fact that he didn't give in and let a war start proves his strength. Both of his predecessors were unable to accomplish this. Many times I have felt we lost face by giving in to avoid war, but I always return to this point of view: Do I have a son that I want to sacrifice to Berlin, China, Thailand, the Congo or any other of the far places the Communist have attempted to get us into war? Do you have one you would like to see die to settle nothing? … The results of our primaries this summer seemed to prove that voters wanted a change in supervisors. I think they showed good judgment when they gave the majority of votes to RaymondAnchordoguy, Robert Grotveldt and Jack McFarland. Each one is a fine and experienced man capable of giving the County a business- like administration. … It doesn't surprise me to see so many small children smoking. I know that their folks set the example, but where do they get the money to buy the cigarettes? … Since Clair Engle's campaign last year, I have been on the Democratic Party's list as a possible contributor to their treasury. I was amused when I received a fancy engraved invitation to attend a $100.00 a plate dinner for the Honorable Jack Kennedy in San Francisco. It continued by saying that anyone donating $1,000.00 would not only receive 10 tickets to the dinner but also tickets to the Kennedy- Johnson Inaugural Ball on January 20, 1961 in Washington D.C. and 2 seats for the parade. However it did not say what to do with the tickets if Nixon and Lodge get elected. … TheArmy-Cal football game at Stanford last week brought back memories of the last time to the two teams played in Northern California.Acouple of friends and I took the train to PaloAlto along with a big sheet of plastic because it looked like rain.And rain it did…in torrents! The mud got plenty deep oh the playing field. When we left the stadium, and headed for the train, we were confronted with a lake of water and no way around it. We men took off our shoes and rolled up our pant legs and started out. The lake got deeper and deeper until I finally convinced the young lady in our party to sit on my shoulders and we wadded through water that reached up to my waist. When we reached the train and got back to San Francisco, there wasn't a taxi in sight and we had to walk nearly 3 miles to our hotel. By the way,Army won the game.
