Alameda County fire officials

find hoverboard in house fire
SAN LEANDRO Alameda County
fire officials say a hoverboard was
found in the area where a fire sparked at
a San Leandro home.
KRON-TV reports that firefighters
responded Saturday to reports of a fire
at a two-story home. No one was at the
home and no injuries were reported. A
hoverboard was found on the first floor
and had been charging since Friday
evening.
Fire investigators say they have not
determined the cause of the blaze, but
that they will be contacting the U.S.
Consumer Product Safety Commission
about the fire.
Hoverboards have drawn criticism in
recent months, as reports have come
out across the country of the twowheeled, self-balancing, battery-powered devices bursting into flames. Two
fires in Sonoma County in January
have been attributed to hoverboards.

San Francisco police facing

Justice Department review
By Paul Elias
SAN FRANCISCO The U.S. Department

of Justice said Monday it will examine use of
force and ethnic disparities in arrests as part
of a review of the San Francisco Police
Department amid heightened racial tensions.
Unlike investigations by the DOJs civil
rights division, the review will be voluntary
and wont end with a court-monitored legal
settlement.
San Franciscos mayor, police chief and
others requested the review expected to take
about two years and include public reports
every six months.
The review will be done by DOJs Office of
Community Oriented Policing Services,
which promotes improvements to officers
ties with communities.
In the days and months ahead, we will

examine the San Francisco Police
Departments current operational policies,
training practices, and accountability systems, and help identify key areas for
improvement going forward, U.S. Attorney
General Loretta Lynch said in a statement.
Chief Greg Suhr says the department will
fully cooperate.
Law enforcement experts say the review is
a less onerous process for police than if the
DOJs civil rights division had launched an
investigation.
The civil rights division can force departments into court-monitored legal settlements if it finds constitutional violations
like it did recently in Cleveland and
Ferguson, Missouri.
The review from the so-called COPS office
is usually designed to help a department
improve its operations, said University of

Missouri-St. Louis criminal justice professor David Klinger.

Its much more a partnership to improve
policies and practices as opposed to a court
takeover, Klinger said.
The review comes amid calls for the
chiefs removal sparked when five officers
opened fire and killed Mario Woods, 26, in
the citys Bayview neighborhood on Dec. 2.
Police said Woods stabbed a stranger and
then refused to drop a knife when approached
by officers. Authorities said only one of the
five officers involved in the shooting was
white. Protests over Woods death have persisted.
An attorney for Woods family welcomed
the review.
It is the right and decent thing to do and a
step in the right direction toward healing in
the African American and Latino communities, attorney John Burris said in a statement.
The department already was grappling
with rising racial tensions when Woods was
shot.
Earlier in the year, a judge ruled that Suhr
waited too long to discipline officers who he
discovered had exchanged racist and homophobic text messages. Suhr is appealing the
judges order, which bars him from firing
eight of the 14 officers implicated in the
scandal.
Suhr said he delayed disciplining the officers because he didnt want to interfere with
a federal corruption investigation into several officers.

Powerful winds persist as

winter storm lashes state
LOS ANGELES Powerful winds

lashed Southern California on Monday
at the tail end of a winter storm that
also brought heavy rain and mountain
snow closing roads, leaving thousands without power and injuring two
television news journalists.
Wind advisories remained in place in
Southern California a day after strong
gusts downed trees and power poles and
ripped off rooftops and in one case,
solar panels across the region. A
motorist was killed Sunday when a tree
fell on his car in San Diego County.
On Monday, two San Diego television journalists preparing for an early
morning live shot on the severe weather were struck by a falling tree.
According to KGTV, reporter Marie
Coronel and photographer Mike Gold
were both knocked down by the tree.
Gold was able to call 911 and both journalists were transported by ambulance
to Scripps Memorial Hospital in La
Jolla.
Gold suffered a compound fracture to
one of his legs and was undergoing surgery. Coronels husband told the station she was also seriously injured and
will require surgery. He said she is facing an extensive recovery period.

PG&E cant find original
records for South Bay gas lines
SAN FRANCISCO Pacific Gas and Electric Co. says it
has lost 12 years of gas pipeline repair records for part of
the San Francisco Bay Area.
Its the largest such gap to emerge since the 2010 San
Bruno pipeline explosion was blamed on incomplete and
inaccurate documentation.
In testimony before a regulatory judge at a recent
California Public Utilities Commission hearing, PG&E
executives admitted that no one can find original paper
records of gas-pipeline repairs made from 1979 to 1991 in
the companys De Anza division. That division includes
eight cities in the South Bay.
The missing records constitute a central issue as the
judge considers whether to fine PG&E for documentation
problems on its network of gas distribution lines.
Spokesman Donald Cutler said they have digital records
for those years and believe they capture the leak information in the paper records.

SANTA ANA Three inmates who pulled off an intricate

getaway from a California jail had outside help from a man
who slipped them escape tools and gave them a ride to
safety before they kidnapped a taxi driver at gunpoint and
held him captive for a week while arguing over whether to
kill him, authorities said Monday.
The details emerged at news conferences by prosecutors
and the Sheriffs Department that answered many of the
remaining questions surrounding the escape and eight-day
manhunt that ended with the capture of all three fugitives.
Hossein Nayeri, who was awaiting trial on charges of
torture and kidnapping, planned the escape for five
months before co-conspirator Bac Duong was booked into
Central Mens Jail in Orange County in December and
helped with an outside contact, sheriffs Capt. Jeff
Hallock said.
Jonathan Tieu, who was awaiting trial on a gang-related
murder charge, also joined the plot, authorities said.

STATE
California Medical Association backs recreational pot plan

By Alison Noon
SACRAMENTO Californias largest

organization of practicing physicians, the
California Medical Association, announced
Monday that it is backing a proposed 2016
ballot initiative to legalize the recreational
use of marijuana.
A coalition of entrepreneurs, activists,
environmentalists and state politicians are
backing the initiative, led by billionaire
technology investor Sean Parker.
CMA said in a statement that its members
believe controlling, tracking and studying
pot will better protect public health than
ineffective prohibition.
Spokeswoman Molly Weedn said the medical association is most interested in provisions of the proposal that would expand
marijuana research.
We feel that this initiative specifically is
in line with the concerns we had for better
monitoring and research of cannabis,
Weedn said.
CMA has also supported legalizing med-
ical marijuana, although it disapproves of

physicians playing gatekeeper for public
access to the drug.
The California initiative would allow anyone age 21 or older to purchase up to an
ounce of marijuana and grow up to six pot
plants. An excise tax of 15 percent would be
imposed on all non-medical sales.
Californias legislative analyst and
finance director estimate that legalizing
marijuana for recreational use could net as
much as $1 billion in new tax revenue for
the state and local governments.
CMA hopes legalization would help
reduce the number of non-symptomatic people in Californias medical marijuana system.
One of the initiatives proponents is
physician Donald Lyman, a member of CMA
who chaired the associations 2010-2011
committee that wrote a white paper on the
groups positions on marijuana, Weedn said.
Initiative supporters have until July 5 to
collect nearly 366,000 signatures to qualify
for the November ballot. A dozen similar
proposals have also been approved to collect signatures.

U.S. law enforcement

leaders examine new
use-of-force principles
By Tami Abdollah
WASHINGTON Police across the United

States are rethinking how they use force amid
national outrage over questionable shootings and violent arrests.
The changes include efforts in Dallas to
train officers to de-escalate situations by
moving backward during target practice and
arming some with sponge projectiles rather
than guns. In Camden, New Jersey, officers
are taught about the sanctity of life and
encouraged to take time to defuse a situation,
even if a suspect is wildly waving a knife at
them.
After months of work, nearly 200 law
enforcement leaders gathered in Washington
on Friday to review and discuss new guiding
principles that, if enacted by the roughly
18,000 law enforcement agencies in the
United States, would significantly remake
how policing has been done for decades. The
30 principles include an unprecedented
acknowledgment from leading law enforcement professionals that officers should go

beyond the Supreme Court-adopted basic
legal standard that asks what a reasonable
officer would do in such a situation, and that
officers should focus on preserving all human
lives in any encounter.

Second disastrous drought year for endangered California salmon

By Ellen Knickmeyer
SAN FRANCISCO Endangered native

salmon suffered a second straight disastrous
year in Californias drought, with all but 3
percent of the latest generation dying in
too-shallow, too-hot rivers, federal offi-
cials said Monday.

Survival rates for Californias endangered
native fish regularly are a flashpoint in the
disputes among fishermen, farmers and others about how federal and state authorities
divvy up the states water supplies.
Just 318,000 juvenile winter-run salmon
survived last year, or 3 percent of nearly 10
million eggs, the National Oceanic and

Atmospheric Administrations fisheries
agency said Monday. That compares to just
5 percent survival the previous year and
41 percent in 2011, just before Californias
drought set in.
Salmon need cold water, but dams have
blocked their historic retreats to the chilly
upper reaches of Northern Californias
Sacramento River tributaries. Federal officials in the drought have tried to finesse
releases from Californias largest reservoir,

Shasta, to keep the river water just deep
enough and cool enough. Especially given
scanty snow last year, water temperatures
repeatedly went over the maximum for the
young fish.
I think everyone tried to make it work
and despite everybodys best efforts it still
was too warm, said Maria Rea, a deputy
regional administrator with NOAA fisheries.
OPINION
THE DAILY JOURNAL
Turbulent flight
Reforming the state pension system

Other voices
Press-Enterprise
ublic pensions are a disaster, and

rely on idiotic accounting, Nobel
Prize-winning economist William
Sharpe told the Financial Analysts Journal
last year. California is no exception, with
unfunded pension and retiree health care
liabilities ofcially estimated at $220 billion and, in reality, likely much higher.
Over the past decade, the California
Public Employees Retirement System has
gone from having two active workers per
retiree to 1.3, and this trend is expected to
continue for another 20 years, with retirees
eventually outnumbering active workers,
according to CalPERS latest annual report.
(F)or the rst time in the pension funds
history, we paid out more in retirement
benets than we took in contributions,
wrote CalPERS CEO Anne Stausboll. And
CalPERS fell from a 76.3 percent funding
ratio to 73.3 percent, largely because of a
poor year for the pension systems investment fund, which saw a 2.4 percent return
in the last scal year far short of the 7.5
percent assumed rate of return.

Californias public pension system cries
out for reform, but reform will have to wait
at least a couple of more years, as efforts to
put one or more ballot measures before voters have been postponed for the third time
in ve years. Former San Jose Mayor
Chuck Reed and former San Diego
Councilman Carl DeMaio, who have been
leading pension reform efforts in the state
after successfully pushing reforms in their
respective cities in 2012, announced that
they would be reling one or both of the
measures they have proposed, with a new
goal of making the November 2018 ballot.
One measure would cap pension contributions by governments at 11 percent of
salary for miscellaneous workers and 13
percent for public safety workers such as
police and reghters. The other measure
would shift new employees to 401(k)-style
plans like those common in the private
sector. Both could be overridden at the
local level by a public vote.
While acknowledging that the timing of

the measure or measures might be better in
two-years time, Mr. Reed and Mr. DeMaio
nonetheless stressed the importance of acting soon. Every year we delay serious
pension reform, public employers make
more unsustainable promises to new
employees, and public retirement debts
grow, they said in a joint statement. We
need pension reform to protect our education system and vital public services from
these fast-growing burdens.
The latest delay is frustrating, but understandable. Even though such pension
reforms do well in polling, formidable
union coffers, slanted descriptions of the
ballot measures imposed by Attorney
General Kamala Harris and the sheer
amount of money, organization and time
required to launch a statewide initiative
campaign are all sizable obstacles. But as
public retirement liabilities continue to
mount, and pension funding status seems
destined to be signicantly worse going
into the next recession than it was at the
start of the previous one, the sooner these
liabilities are dealt with, the better.

High-speed rail is speeding downhill

Editor,
You would not believe it if I told you that
the high-speed rail program is already over
two years behind schedule, and the rst sector which would cost $40 billion now has a
price tag of $47 billion. Or almost 20 percent overrun and they have not even started
putting tracks down. Here is the kicker:
The original plan that called for the rst
sector to be Bakerseld to Los Angeles is
so difcult, it might take decades to build
due to the 30 miles of tunnels and bridges
and infrastructure in mountainous, uncharted terrain.
The high-speed rail board now is suggesting to leave that hot potato alone and
start from San Jose to Bakerseld instead,
pissing off the pundits in Los Angeles big
time. This alone shows you how condent
the folks are.
I think Gov. Jerry Brown should do the
mea culpa thing, pull the plug and stop
spending our money on stuff that wont
contribute to a meaningful transportation
solution. Heck, he could give the highspeed rail folks an IOU for borrowing all
that pledged money (begged, borrowed and
conscated from cap-and-trade) and repair
our road system instead. The California
Democratic government is very experienced in these kind of things. He did say he

s a child, I was terrified of heights.

That palpable fear was the result of
the extreme turbulence I experienced aboard my first flight on an airplane.
I recall cheerfully buckling my seatbelt per
the flight attendants instruction. I could not
have been any older than 8 years of age at
the time. The jets 970,000-pound steel
body accelerated at over 500 mph, battling
strong headwinds as it ascended from Earths
surface. Although anxious, I embraced the
experience as a roller coaster ride. Upon our
ascension, I recall gazing at the countless
city lights below, which became smaller as
we continued our ascent into the night sky.
Then, suddenly, we began to experience
startling bumps
and turns. I made
the mistake of
looking out the
window once
more. This time,
a nebulous fog
and pervasive
lightning clouded the sky. I
quickly shut the
window, attempting to forget that
we were more
than 20,000 feet
Jonathan Madison
in the sky and in
the middle of a storm. My older brother
James made light of the situation by reminding me that only 2 inches of plastic separated us from the worst effects of the storm. I
cannot recall ever feeling more frightened.
Attempting to assuage my fears, I asked
my father if the pilot knew how to fly the
plane through the storm. Attempting to look
at ease, my father smiled and replied that the
pilot flied using radar, a computer that practically navigates itself. Although he went on
to reassure me that we would land safely, the
last words I could hear were that the flight
was being guided by a mere machine. I started to panic, tightly clasping the armrests as
the flight became increasingly turbulent. We
were jerked to the left and right, and encountered several drops. The fierce crashes of
thunder repeatedly reminded us mortals that
our fate now lied in the hands of God and
nature.
Just as I suspected all hope was lost, we
broke out above the storm to a wondrous
view of the sunrise. Although calm for the
moment, I panicked again as we landed hours
later. It was hands-down the most turbulent
flight I have experienced to date.
With maturity, I have come to realize that
my first flight is symbolic of the challenges
we face in life. We often get on our flight to
fulfill our dreams, eager to arrive at our destination. However, we are unmindful of the turbulence the journey will entail.
The takeoff is exhilarating, but uncomfortable. When we try to find comfort in our
journey, life brings us turbulent bumps
financial shortfalls, physical ailments and a
host of other challenges. In those darkest
and seemingly hopeless moments, faith is
the only radar by which we can continue to
fly forward.
That faith will guide us above the storm
into a beautiful bliss. Of course, those
moments of bliss may not last. The landing
will likely be uncomfortable as well. When
we arrive, we may be shaken up, fatigued or
restless. Nevertheless, we are smarter, wiser
and more experienced than we were before
our flight.
In life, faith is our radar. We may have several flights in life some more turbulent
than others. The most important thing is to
remember that faith is our guiding radar in
moments of darkness. As the Apostle Paul
said in 2 Corinthians 5:7 For we walk by
faith and not by sight.
If you are currently on one of lifes turbulent flights, I encourage you to navigate the
darkest places in your journey by the bright
light of faith. I encourage you to believe as
stated in Matthew 17:20, that having faith
the size of a mustard seed will be your radar
that sees through even the greatest of
storms.

NEW YORK The stock market was

able to recover from steep losses to
close slightly lower on Monday as
investors looked past another steep
drop in the price of oil and renewed
concerns about economic growth in
China and the U.S. Oil and gas companies remained in the red.
The fact that utility and other highdividend stocks were among the better
performers should be seen as a sign
that investors still dont have much
conviction behind last weeks gains
and Mondays recovery, traders said.
The Dow Jones industrial average
fell 17.12 points, or 0.1 percent, to
16,449.18 after being down roughly
150 points earlier in the day. The
Standard & Poors 500 index fell 0.86
points, less than 0. 1 percent, to
1,939.38 and the Nasdaq composite
rose 6.41 points, or 0.1 percent, to
4,620.37.
Stocks had been lower most of the
day after separate reports showed manufacturing slowing last month in both
the U.S. and China. The reports initially caused a sell-off in commodities,
notably energy and industrial metals
like copper. The price of U.S. benchmark oil plunged $2, or 5.9 percent, to
$31.62 a barrel in New York. Natural

gas also fell about 6 percent.
But as the trading day drew to a
close, investors began to buy up utilities and other dividend-paying stocks.
The Dow Jones utility index, a collection of 15 utility companies, rose
nearly 1 percent on Monday.
Telecommunications stocks, another
traditional dividend play, posted the
second-biggest gains in the S&P 500.
J.J. Kinahan, chief strategist at TD
Ameritrade, said part of the reason dividend stocks did better than the rest of
the market was speculation that the
Federal Reserve, faced with a more
uncertain economic environment,
would likely not raise interest rates as
fast as investors had thought at the
beginning of the year.
Dividend stocks perform poorly in a
rising interest rate environment,
because the value of the yield on dividend stocks gets worn away as yields
rise on bonds and other dividend-paying investments.
Were looking at probably only
two (interest rate) raises this year
instead of four, and that makes dividend stocks look relatively attractive
again, Kinahan said.
Energy stocks, not surprisingly,
were the biggest losers on Monday,
following the price of oil lower. The
energy component of the S&P 500 fell

nearly 2 percent, versus the nearly flat
performance of the broader market.
Southwestern Energy declined 39
cents, or 4. 4 percent, to $8. 50,
Transocean dropped 63 cents, or 6 percent, to $9.79 and Chesapeake Energy
fell 18 cents, or 5 percent, to $3.21.
In other company news, Alere
jumped $16. 91, or 46 percent, to
$54. 11 after Abbott Laboratories
announced it was purchasing the
health care company, which is focused
on diagnostics, for $5. 8 billion.
Abbott Labs shares rose 60 cents, or 2
percent, to $38.45.
U.S. government bond prices fell.
The yield on the 10-year Treasury note
rose to 1.95 percent. The dollar fell to
121. 02 yen from 121. 10 yen on

$1.0893 from $1.0829.
Prices for precious and industrial
metals closed mixed. Gold rose $11.50
to $1,127.90 an ounce, silver gained
10 cents to $14.34 an ounce and copper slipped a penny to $2.06 a pound.
In other energy trading, wholesale

Alphabet comes before Apple as worlds most valuable company

By Michael Liedtke
SAN FRANCISCO Alphabet now

comes before Apple atop the list of the
worlds most valuable companies.
The shift occurred in Mondays extended
trading after Alphabet, Googles new parent
company, released a fourth-quarter earnings
report that highlighted the robust growth of
the digital ad market. Apple Inc.s iPhone,
meanwhile, is suffering its first downturn
since it debuted eight years ago.
Alphabet Inc. earned $4.9 billion on revenue of $21.3 billion in the fourth quarter.
If not for employee stock expenses and certain other items, Alphabet said it would
have earned $8.67 per share. That figure
easily topped the average estimate of $8.10
per share among analysts surveyed by
FactSet.
The report provided the most detailed
breakdown yet on the profits pouring in
from Googles dominant search engine and
ad network. (Google reorganized itself
under Alphabet last October.) Investors
pushed up Alphabet stock $35.73, or 4.6
percent, to $806.50 in extended trading.
Based on that after-hours bump,
Alphabets market value stood at $555 bil-
lion while Apples was at $533 billion,

based on the most recent regulatory filings
showing the companys outstanding
shares. The rankings could quickly change
again in regular trading Tuesday.
Apples stock has been sliding amid concerns over slowing iPhone sales.
Meanwhile, Alphabets stock has surged by
45 percent since the end of 2014 when it
was still trading under Googles name.
The fourth-quarter report marks the first
time Alphabet has spelled out the costs of
running still-experimental businesses that
are trying to do everything from eliminating human drivers to curing cancer.
Consumer spending flat, savings rate at three-year high

By Martin Crutsinger
WASHINGTON U.S. consumers kept

their spending flat in December and instead
boosted their savings rate to the highest
level in three years.
Consumer spending was unchanged in
December after rising 0.5 percent in
November, the Commerce Department
reported Monday. Incomes increased 0.3
percent, matching Novembers gain.
Higher incomes and flat spending pushed
the savings rate to 5.5 percent of after-tax
income in December. That was the highest

level since December 2012.
The latest numbers underscore how cautious consumers were in the final three
months of the year. Weak spending gains
dragged overall U.S. economic growth,
which slowed to a meager 0.7 percent rate in
the fourth quarter.
Spending momentum slowed as 2015
drew to a close and enters the year on a weaker note, said Jennifer Lee, senior economist
at BMO Capital Markets.
But she noted that the big rise in personal
savings could be setting the stage for
stronger spending growth in 2016.

Economists also expect that an improving
jobs market will fuel spending momentum
and help push economic growth back above
2 percent in the current January-March quarter.
An inflation gauge preferred by the Federal
Reserve fell by 0.1 percent in December,
reflecting further declines in energy prices.
Over the 12 months ending in December,
this price index is up 0.6 percent. That was
the largest 12-month gain since December
2014 but remains well below the Feds 2 percent target for inflation.

media circus hits San Jose
Warriors roll into February with trip to White House

By Brian Mahoney
NEW YORK They feel like the dog days

of the NBA season, the January games that are
months from the ones teams really want to be
playing.
Steve Kerr has been part of the some of the
leagues greatest teams, so he knows how
tough January can be.
Yet for his Golden State Warriors, it didnt
turn out that tough at all.
Well, we had ours in late December
instead, Kerr said. So

maybe the time frame was
a little different.
They arrive in February
at 44-4 and on their way
to Washington and the
annual champions trip to
the White House. The
Warriors went 14-2 in
January and closed it with
Steve Kerr
seven straight wins, a
dominant stretch that left them ahead of
Chicagos 72-win pace in 1995-96.
Golden State had a couple losses and close

calls late in December and early January, and
though the record points to a team that has
barely gotten off track, the Warriors insist
there was some slippage.
All-Star Draymond Green and Kerr point to
the 113-95 loss at Detroit on Jan. 16. The
Warriors havent lost since, with blowout victories over Cleveland, San Antonio and
Chicago. A second-half slip against
Philadelphia on Saturday, when the Warriors
blew a 24-point lead before pulling it out, is the
only time theyve come close to losing again.
As they reach February and see a break in

sight, the Warriors want to really pour it on.
We didnt play particularly well late
December, early January, and then as I mentioned the Detroit game couple of weeks ago
seemed to wake us up and we got our edge back
and weve been on a good run since then,
minus the second half yesterday, Kerr said
Sunday.
But overall weve played really well the
last couple of weeks and its a good time to

Athlete of the Week
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Ariana Margate had quite a week putting

points on the scoreboard. But it was her
defense that proved golden for the Oceana
girls basketball team.
The surging Sharks won three games in
league play, including a critical 62-47 victory last Tuesday over first-place South City to
move into a tie for the top spot in the
Peninsula Athletic League North Division.
The success has the Sharks in unchartered
waters, as it marks the first time in head
coach David Clarks four years at the helm
the team has been in first place this late in
the season.
With Oceana also tallying key victories
over third-place Half Moon Bay and
Jefferson, Margate totaled 43 points
through the three wins. But the 5-3 shooting
guard also kept two of the PAL Ocean
Divisions best shooters in check, manning
up to hold South City sophomore Brittney
Cedeo to 16 points and Half Moon Bay junior guard Addison Walling to four points,
clinching Margates selection as the Daily
Journal Athlete of the Week.
I take more pride in defense, Margate
said. I guess as a player, it makes me feel
better to stop someone from scoring than
scoring myself.
Matching up against South City has been
a tall order for Oceana throughout the varsity career of Margate, who has started every
game since the outset of her freshman year.
Last season, Oceana had a chance to earn
its first postseason berth in Clarks career,
but fell short of the PAL tournament by losing the play-in game to South City. Then
this season, the Warriors continued their
dominance over the Sharks in the first of
two matchups between the two, handing
Oceana a 52-48 loss in the PAL North
Division opener.

Mike Ciardella is used to winning. Hes won a lot of games
during his 30-plus year coaching career.
Included in those victories are four
Division V state championships he won
from 1991 to 1996 as the girls coach at
Sacred Heart Prep.
But you would have thought he won his

his teams overtime victory over Mills,
62-60.
The Knights had to overcome a 10point decit in the nal three minutes of
regulation to force
the extra period and
then weathered four

by the Vikings in
the nal 30 seconds
of overtime to seal
their seventh
straight win in

Ciardella let out a

yeahs! in the
locker room following the game. Not only
did his team win a big game in dramatic
fashion, it came against Mills coach Dave
Matsu, who Ciardella mentored.
He taught me everything I know,
Matsu said following the game.
Ciardella started beaming when talking
about matching up with one of his basketball students.
I didnt want the mentee to win,
Ciardella said. He got me last year.
Matsu grew up going to and then working various basketball camps Ciardella
ran along the Peninsula throughout the

Raiders look for short-term lease before long-term home

By Josh Dubow
SAN FRANCISCO With the Oakland

Raiders hopes of moving to Los Angeles
on hold right now, Mayor Libby Schaaf said
the teams primary focus is on securing a
lease to remain at the Coliseum for the 2016
season.
The NFL voted last month to allow the
Rams to move to Inglewood with an option
for the Chargers to join them. The Chargers
plan to spend the next year trying to secure
a stadium deal to remain in San Diego, leav-
ing the Raiders waiting

to find out if Los Angeles
is an option for them in
their long search for a
new stadium.
But before figuring out
where they can play for
the long haul, the
Raiders need to find a
Libby Schaaf home for next season.
The teams lease at the
Coliseum expires Feb. 17 and the Raiders
have been in talks with the Joint Powers
Authority that runs the Coliseum about
extending the deal for one year.

Its my impression that thats the
Raiders priority, Schaaf said following a
news conference held by the local organizing committee for Super Bowl 50 in the Bay
Area. Thats the communications Ive
heard from them. Of course Im anxious to
get them back to the table to talk about a
new stadium. But I understand that their first
focus is where they play next year.
The Raiders have been negotiating a lease
extension with the Oakland-Alameda
County Coliseum Authority for about 10
days following the vote last month by NFL
owners to block the teams planned move to

Carson.
Scott McKibben, the head of the
Coliseum authority, said he believes the
Raiders are seriously interested in getting a
deal done with Oakland for 2016 but there
are still some issues that need to be
resolved.
Its always more challenging when all
youre trying to do is a one-year short-term
lease, he said. These are more difficult to
get done than a five- or 10- or 20-year lease

Panthers, Broncos meet reporters at Super Bowl media circus

SAN JOSE What happens when you put

Peyton Manning, Miss Universe, an orangeand-blue leprechaun and 200 TV cameras into
the same room?
Answer: Super Bowl Opening Night.
The NFL took a good idea gone surreal
what used to be known as Media Day
gave it a new name, added a live band and
moved it to prime time Monday night to kick
off Super Bowl week between the Denver
Broncos and Carolina Panthers.
This new and amped-up interview-fest came
complete with a guy walking around inside an
inflatable football and a newly choreographed players introduction that involved
all 60 players from each team coming out on
a four-story-high catwalk.
I had no idea that was a bridge we were
standing on, Manning said.
Suffice to say, the five-time MVP, who built
a career on his impeccable preparation, couldnt have predicted a lot of what came his way
on this night.
Who would play him in a movie? Maybe a
young Robert Redford, Manning said.
Another reporter or make that, person
with a credential asked him to look into
the camera and wish a Happy Chinese New
Year to all his friends in that part of the world.

Continued from page 11
The league opener turned into quite a battle though, as Oceana glimpsed its potential
in the second quarter. The Sharks were in
early disarray with the addition of junior
transfer Sala Langi, playing in her first
game with her new team. But after the
Warriors jumped out to a 30-19 lead by halftime, Oceana came together to make a game
of it with a 13-2 run in the second half and
even held a brief lead before South City finished strong to close out the victory.
Last weeks rematch was a different story,
however. Oceanas deep well of talent produced four double-digit scorers, with junior
Keri La scoring a team-high 17, junior
Kyana Wiley adding 14, Langi totaling 13
and Margate notching 12. The balance has
been key for an Oceana team that doesnt
rely on one superstar, but instead rides a
fast-break style to success.
We just get out and push the ball, Clark
said. Weve got a really small team and
most of the teams we play are bigger than
us. So, we really emphasize getting the ball
KIRBY LEE/USA TODAY SPORTS
Peyton Manning addresses the media during Super Bowl 50 media day at SAP Center.
And then, there was a long debate over
whether Fat Tuesday and Mardi Gras are this
week, or next? (Answer: Next week. We
think.)
All of this thoughtfully brought to prime
time by the NFL for the first time in the 50year history of the Super Bowl.
For decades, Media Day was a Tuesday-
morning affair set early in the day, early in

the week, so as not to interrupt the teams
schedules too much and to give writers the
rest of the week to craft the stories out of the
questions theyd asked.
But this year, the NFL moved it to Monday
night, where minor details like dress code,
off-color banter and 8-year-olds asking foot-
out in transition.
Of the 11 players on roster, Langi and
Wiley are the tallest, each at a mere 5-7. So,
running an aggressive man-to-man defense
is essential to Oceana playing games on its
terms. This was the decisive factor in finally overcoming a South City team driven by
its spectacular point guard Cedeo.
Our whole focus is stopping her because
she plays point guard, Clark said. And
Margate, her defense, she anticipates so
well. She can take the point guard out of
their game and make it hard to do what they
want to do.
Holding Cedeo to 16 points is quite the
moral victory. Entering into the matchup,
the sophomore was riding back-to-back 20point-plus performances. She came out
swinging against Oceana, maintaining the
pace of her recent tear with 11 points in the
first half. But some of those points came on
acrobatic long-range shots to elude the
defense of Margate.
I told the girls we have to live with that,
Clark said. We made her take some tough
shots and she made them.
In the second quarter though, the Sharks
took over the game, outscoring the Warriors
21-10 in the quarter. Then in the second
half, Oceana and Margate in particular
held Cedeo to just five points.

I feel we were just more hungry and took
them more serious, Margate said.
Margate took Half Moon Bay just as seriously. This too was a battle for first place,
as the day began with the Cougars, Sharks
and Warriors all tied atop the division.
Margate showed up with her best performance of the year, scoring a season-high 20
points while holding the sharp-shooting
Walling to four points, including no 3pointers, en route to a 47-40 win.
And while the week wound down against
last-place Jefferson, the 50-43 victory was
still key as it clinched a berth the PAL tournament, which will mark the first in Clarks
career.
Now, Oceanas fate is in its own hands as
the team makes a push for its first league
title since 2009-10. But for a team that hasnt finished higher than fourth place in
Clarks three previous seasons, the excitement of a playoff drive far exceeds the
expectations the team had entering into the
year.
I knew we were a good team, Margate
said. It surprised me we actually beat [South
City] but we were able to win with the way
we played as a team.
ball players questions after bedtime barely

raise an eyebrow anymore.
NFL spokesman Michael Signora described
the scheduling change as one that allows
more fans (to) experience what has grown to
become a very unique, popular Super Bowl
event.
Surprising they didnt do this earlier. Its a
nod to the reality that Media Day has long
been a journalism-free zone one in
which fans have willingly, for the last five
years, paid money for tickets that allow them
to sit in the stands and watch the hilarity
unfold.

STADIUM
when youre getting a longer commitment
from all parties. But things are moving
along and we are having productive and
meaningful discussions.
But the Raiders could be hesitant to enter
a longer deal until they know whether Los
Angeles will be an option.
If the Chargers get a stadium deal done in
San Diego, the Raiders could then join the
Rams at their new stadium. Owner Mark
Davis also toured a potential stadium site in
Las Vegas last week as he seeks a new home.
Id hope theyd take the moment to sit
with Oakland, not across the table in a
negotiating posture but side by side in a collaborative posture to see if a deal can be
done, said CBS analyst Amy Trask, the for-
MEDIA
sentimental favorite; at 39, many people
expect hell retire after this one.
That was one of the few actual news angles
to cover during Denvers hour of fun behind
the mic.
I havent made up my mind and I dont see
myself knowing until the seasons over,
Ten years after Wilsons relapse,

Robinson was arrested the day before the
Falcons lost to Denver
for soliciting a prostitute. The Falcons safety
had just received the Bart
Starr Award for high
moral character, with
his family in attendance.
Robinson played the
game but might wish he
hadnt. He allowed an 80Eugene
yard TD pass to Rod
Robinson
Smith and missed a tackle on a long run by Terrell Davis.
Oaklands All-Pro center disappeared the

mer CEO of the Raiders who spent years
working on stadium issues. I believe there
is a deal to be done as long as they collaborate.
The Coliseum is the only stadium that is
home to both an NFL and baseball team, has
a crumbling infrastructure and lacks many of
the money-making amenities in more modern venues.
Schaaf said she looks forward to sitting
down soon with Davis to negotiate a deal for
a new stadium that will not require a direct
public subsidy, given the fact that the city
and county still owe about $100 million to
pay off the upgrades made when the Raiders
moved back to Oakland in 1995.
The NFL has pledged $100 million for a
stadium in Oakland in addition to the $200
million loan the Raiders could get from the
league. That would still leave a significant
funding gap of about $400 million that
needs to be bridged.
Oakland officials said in December that
they would be able to give the Raiders 60

acres of land on the Coliseum site to build a
new 55,000-seat stadium and development
area but the Raiders believe they will need
more land to make a deal work. Schaaf has
indicated a willingness to negotiate on that
point and is using land and a committed fan
base as the main selling points for Oakland.
Complicating matters is the fact that the
Athletics also are looking for a new stadium
and Oakland would likely need to find a solution for them before deciding to build a new
football stadium at the Coliseum site.
Schaaf said she would prefer that the As
build a new stadium closer to downtown on
the waterfront but owner Lew Wolff has been
against those plans.
That would obviously make my Raiders
situation less complicated, Schaaf said. It
would make more land available, a lot more
flexibility with development. Obviously
that is part of the puzzle with the As because
I want to keep both my teams.
Manning said.
Also, the Broncos were involved in a minor
bus crash after practice. There were no
injuries. Just adds to the intrigue of what
weve had all year, Manning said.
But enough of that serious stuff.
Miss Universe, one of the 5,500
reporters with credentials for Super Bowlweek festivities, answered more questions

Harvey. Yes, I am the real Miss Universe,
she said, referencing Harveys embarrassing
gaffe during that prime-time show a few weeks
back.
Harvey was a no-show at this one.

No one missed him.
From the costumes, to the beauty queens, to
the guys dressed up like Sesame Streets
Swedish Chef, this prime-time special had
pretty much everything except for Donald
Trump, who was waiting on caucus results in
Iowa.
At one point, though, a reporter reminded
Manning that Trump was picking the
Broncos on Sunday because he knew Peyton,
and hes a very, very good guy.
Would Manning return the endorsement?

Snedeker winds up a winner at Torrey Pines Post-All-Star

By Doug Ferguson
SAN DIEGO With his glove tucked in his

back pocket and a putter in his hand, Brandt
Snedeker walked off the green pumping his
arms to celebrate a six-shot comeback to win
the Farmers Insurance Open. That was the
only part of his victory that looked normal.
He was on the practice green, not the 18th
green.
Snedeker never hit a shot Monday.
Having delivered one of the great closing
rounds on the PGA Tour on Sunday, all he
could do was wait to see if it was good enough
when the wind-blown tournament concluded
before no spectators because of safety concerns for all the debris on the South Course at
Torrey Pines.
The jangled nerves came from watching the
forecast, and then the telecast. Snedeker
finally went to the putting green and figured
the crowds reaction would let him know if
K.J. Choi had made birdie on the 18th to
force a playoff. But then he realized there was
no crowd.
I cant tell you how excited I am to be a
champion here again, how unbelievable
the last 48 hours have been, said
Snedeker, the first player in more than five
years to make the cut on the number and
win the tournament. Everything worked
out perfectly for me. You cannot make up
the extreme events that had to happen for
me to have this chance, and they all fell in
line perfectly.
It started with Snedeker.
In gusts that consistently topped 40 mph
and peaked at over 50 mph, he played the
final 17 holes Sunday without a bogey and
closed with a 3-under 69, which was nearly
GARY A. VASQUEZ/USA TODAY SPORTS

Monday during the final round at Torrey Pines.
nine shots better than the field. The average
score (77.9) was the highest for the fourth
round at a regular PGA Tour event since the
tour began keeping such statistics in 1983.
Snedeker won at 6-under 282, the highest
winning scores at Torrey Pines since Fuzzy
Zoeller in 1979.
Shortly after he finished Sunday, play was
stopped for the third and final time, and for
good reason. The relentless wind toppled
more than dozen trees across Torrey Pines,
including a 60-foot eucalyptus that fell
across the left edge of the 15th fairway some
40 yards short of the green.
The forecast was for 25 mph win out of the
opposite direction. That was good for Snedeker.

When he woke up Monday morning to start
the waiting game, there was hardly any wind
at all. That was bad for Snedeker.
But after another two-hour delay to clean up
debris, the wind showed up at just the right
time and made the conditions just as tough
maybe even tougher for the final groups as
it was on Sunday.
Snedeker hit a wedge for his second shot on
the 15th. Choi couldnt reach the green with
a 3-wood.
With the final five holes playing into the
wind, birdies were scarce.
Jimmy Walker, who was leading at 7-under
par through 10 holes when play was halted
on Sunday, made four bogeys over his eight
holes and shot 77. Choi, who was at 6 under
(and tied with Snedeker) made only one
bogey, and it was enough to cost him. He
couldnt reach the 14th with a fairway metal
another wedge hole on Sunday and narrowly missed a 6-foot par putt. Choi closed
with a 77 and was runner-up.
Kevin Streelman had a 74, with two late
bogeys ending his hopes, and finished third.
It was the second time Snedeker has won at
Torrey Pines, and he needed help both times.
Four years ago, he was in the media center as
the runner-up until Kyle Stanley made a triple
bogey from the fairway on the 18th hole, and
Snedeker beat him in a playoff to complete a
seven-shot comeback.
This time, he needed help from the elements.
Snedeker made the cut on the number
Saturday and was tied for 27th going into the
final round. The wicked weather produced 23
rounds in the 80s, including an 87 by Scott
Brown, who shared the 54-hole lead with
Choi and wound up in a tie for 49th.
NHL playoff
race heats up
By Greg Beacham
LOS ANGELES The NHL playoff race

doesnt really get rolling until after the AllStar break, and almost every team still harbors postseason hopes some more realistic than others.
The division races only determine playoff
seeding in the NHL, and its almost considered a weakness to ascribe too much importance to the regular season. But you cant
win the Stanley Cup if you cant make the
postseason tournament, which makes the
next 9 1/2 weeks vital for everybody.
Most of the leading contenders in the
division races have already emerged.
The Washington Capitals have opened a
formidable 15-point lead in the
Metropolitan Division and an 11-point lead
on Atlantic Division leader Florida for the
top overall seed in the Eastern Conference.
The defending champion Chicago
Blackhawks lead the West thanks in part to
a tremendous 12-game winning streak, but
Dallas, Los Angeles and San Jose arent letting the Hawks get away from the pack.
The race for eighth is even more vital in
each conference, and only a handful of teams
arent in that peloton.
The individual statistical races are also
well underway, and a skinny American goalscorer in Chicago is threatening to skate
away with it all.

U.K. approves controversial

gene-editing experiments
By Maria Cheng
LONDON In a landmark decision that

some ethicists warned is a step down the
path toward designer babies, Britain gave
scientists approval Monday to conduct
experiments in which they will try to edit
the genes in human embryos.
The scientists wont be creating babies
the modified embryos will be destroyed after
seven days. Instead, they said, the goal is to
better understand human development and
thereby improve fertility treatments and prevent miscarriages.
The decision by Britains Human
Fertilisation and Embryology Authority
marks the first time a countys national regulator has approved the technique.
Permission isnt explicitly required in many
other countries, including the U.S. and
China. The U.S. does not allow the use of
federal funds for embryo modification, but
there is no outright ban on gene editing.
Gene editing involves deleting, repairing
or replacing DNA inside living cells in a sort
of biological cut-and-paste technique that
scientists say could one day lead to treatments for conditions like HIV or inherited
disorders such as muscular dystrophy and
sickle cell disease.
A team led by Kathy Niakan, an embryo
and stem cell specialist at Londons new
Francis Crick Institute, received the OK to
use gene editing to analyze the first week of
an embryos growth.
This research will enhance our under-
standing of IVF (in vitro fertilization) success rates by looking at the very earliest
stage of human development, said Paul
Nurse, director of the institute.
None of the embryos will be transferred
into women. They will be allowed to develop
from a single cell to around 250 cells, after
which they will be destroyed.
Peter Braude, a retired professor of obstetrics and gynecology at Kings College
London, said the mechanisms being investigated by Niakan and her colleagues are crucial in ensuring healthy, normal development and implantation and could help doctors refine fertility treatments. Braude is not
connected to Niakans research.
There are a few methods of gene editing,
but the technique Niakans team plans to use
is known as CRISPR-Cas9, a relatively fast,
cheap and simple approach that many
researchers are keen to try.
Some critics warn that tweaking the genetic code this way could be a slippery slope
that eventually leads to designer babies,
where parents not only aim to avoid inherited diseases but also seek taller, stronger,
smarter or better-looking children.
Many religious groups, including the
Catholic Church, object to people playing
God and manipulating embryos. Some scientists have voiced concern that tampering
with genes might have unintended consequences not apparent until after the babies
are born or generations later. And some
fear such tinkering will only widen the gap
between rich and poor by enabling the
wealthy to create superbabies.
SLEEP APNEA
Last year, British lawmakers voted to allow scientists to create babies from the DNA of three
people to prevent children from inheriting potentially fatal diseases from their mothers. In
doing so, Britain became the first country to allow genetically modified embryos to be
transferred into women.

WHO declares global emergency over Zika virus spread

By Jamey Keaten and Maria Cheng
GENEVA The World Health

Organization declared a global emergency
over the explosive spread of the Zika virus,
which has been linked to birth defects in the
Americas, calling it an extraordinary
event that poses a public health threat to
other parts of the world.
The U. N. agency took the rare step

despite a lack of definitive evidence proving the mosquito-borne virus is causing a
surge in babies born with brain defects and
abnormally small heads in Brazil and following a 2013-14 outbreak in French
Polynesia.
Mondays emergency meeting of independent experts was called in response to
the spike in babies born with microcephaly
in Brazil since the virus was first found
there last year. Officials in
French Polynesia also documented
a
connection
between Zika and neurological complications when the
virus was spreading there
two years ago, at the same
time as dengue fever.
After a review of the evidence,
the
committee
advised that the clusters of
microcephaly and other neurological
complications
constitute an extraordinary
event and public health
threat to other parts of the
world, WHO DirectorGeneral Dr. Margaret Chan
said.
WHO, which was widely
criticized for its sluggish
response to the 2014 Ebola
crisis in West Africa, has
been eager to show its
responsiveness this time.
Despite dire warnings that
Ebola was out of control in
mid-2014, WHO didnt
declare an emergency until
months later, after nearly
1,000 people had died.
If indeed, the scientific
linkage between Zika and
microcephaly is established,
can you imagine if we do not
do all this work now and wait

until the scientific evidence comes out?
Chan said. Then people will say, Why didnt you take action?
WHO estimates there could be up to 4 million cases of Zika in the Americas in the
next year, but no recommendations were
made to restrict travel or trade.
It is important to understand, there are
several measures pregnant women can
take, Chan said. If you can delay travel
and it does not affect your other family commitments, it is something to consider.
If they need to travel, they can get advice
from their physician and take personal protective measures, like wearing long sleeves
and shirts and pants and using mosquito
repellent.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control has
advised pregnant women to postpone visits
to Brazil and other countries in the region
with Zika outbreaks, though officials say

its unlikely the virus could cause widespread problems in the U.S. On Monday,
health officials added four more destinations
to a list that now includes 28 locations,
most of them in Latin America and the
Caribbean.
The last time WHO declared a public
health emergency was for the devastating
Ebola outbreak in West Africa, which killed
more than 11,000 people. Similar declarations were made for polio in 2013 and the
2009 swine flu pandemic.
Such emergency declarations are meant as
an international SOS signal and usually
trigger increased money and efforts to halt
the outbreak, as well as prompting research
into possible treatments and vaccines.
There are currently no licensed treatments or
vaccines for Zika.

Its an eyesore. I feel a little embarrassed
that people are doing this in San Mateo, in
a nice city. People should be putting ads on
Craigslist or Auto Trader. People shouldnt
be driving by at night flashing their flashlights in cars, Weinhauer said, adding he
recently moved to the neighborhood with
his fiance and two young sons. We
stretched ourselves, we pay an incredible
amount of money for these homes and property taxes. Then to have a used car lot in
front of my house, it sticks in my craw.
With the red-hot housing market,
Weinhauer said they rushed to get into a new
home over the holidays and didnt notice it
being an issue. Shortly after the new year
started, used cars with for sale signs quickly
started clogging up the streets and
Weinhauer said he even had to call police
because one was parked blocking his driveway.
Now, hes hoping enough of his neighbors will support a new residential parking
permit program and that police will step up
enforcement efforts by towing or ticketing
vehicles.

If enough neighbors agree and petition

GARBAGE
are diverting about 50 percent, said Cliff
Feldman, recycling programs manager with
SBWMA.
By and large, the goal of the program is to
test some new methods and test really how
much more recycling and composting residents can be encouraged to do, Feldman said,
adding the facility on Shoreway Road in San
Carlos processes 30 tons of recycling per
hour. Its impressive, but theres a lot of
room for improvement; which is where programs like this come in.
The Every Other Week Garbage Collection
Pilot Program began Monday for residents
who received fliers in several neighborhoods
or homeowners associations including
Laurelwood, Beresford/Hillsdale, 19th
Avenue Park, Baywood, Fiesta Gardens, Corta
Bella and South San Mateo.
Although theres lots of information about
what can be composted or recycled, many customers dont divert as much waste as is possible. Instituting programs like this, which are
becoming increasingly popular throughout
California and Canada, helps challenge residents to divert as much waste as possible, said
Feldman and Carolina Leonhardt, recycling,
outreach and sustainability manager with
SBWMA.
In striving to reduce local greenhouse gas
emissions, Leonhardt said individuals can
help do their part by recycling and composting.
A lot of the waste that ends up in a landfill
that could have been diverted either as recycling or compost, will essentially end up
generating methane, which is one of the
changed to a two-hour parking limit while

residents can obtain free parking permits
allowing them to stay longer.
Police Chief Susan Manheimer noted the
city enforces the 72-hour notice but those
who are familiar with the law know they
only need to move one-tenth of a mile.
Towing a vehicle must be initiated by a
complaint and Manheimer said police tag
all abandoned vehicles within 24 hours of
receiving notice. Now, police are even stepping up to start tagging all for sale vehicles while on patrol in these target areas,
Manheimer said in an email to Weinhauer.
While committed to addressing neighborhood concerns, theyre bound by state laws
and prior efforts to start a permit program
didnt come to fruition, Manheimer said.
We are as frustrated as you that there are
not further tools to legally require the for
sale vehicles to move. The for sale signs,
like soliciting, are viewed as constitutionally protected free speech activities. We did
meet with the Central Neighborhood
[homeowners association] about a year ago
regarding this issue, and it was clear they
did not have a consensus at that time for any
two-hour parking zones, Manheimer wrote
in the email.
With the Metropolitan Apartment complex located nearby and management having noted many of its residents have also
complained about the number of for sale
cars lining the street, Weinhauer said he
hopes the permit program might finally
gain some traction.

Carrington, senior vice president of portfolio management, agreed some residents
have mentioned it to management. He noted
the building offers plenty of parking to its
residents so accessibility may not be a
major issue to those living at the
Metropolitan.
Still, residents should have a chance to
weigh in and express concerns, Carrington
said, noting the company would be willing
to pass on information. I think its just
important for everyone to have the ability
to share their opinions.
strongest greenhouse gas pollutants, 23

times stronger than carbon dioxide,
Leonhardt said. The more efforts we have to
reduce waste going to landfills, the less
impact we have on climate change.
While the intentions may be green,
SBWMA and RethinkWaste have received
complaints about the program and Leonhardt
said she hopes more people will educate
themselves on what the pilot actually entails.
Several residents have raised complaints
on sites like Nextdoor.com regarding their
monthly bills only being reduced by $2,
despite collection being cut in half, and concerns that trash would build up.
The entire cost of garbage service includes
the cost of running the recycling and composting trucks as well. If just one of these
three trucks picks up every other week, its
only expected to achieve a one-sixth reduction in trips.
Ultimately, the pilot will hopefully inform
the actual cost reduction of doing an every
other week garbage pickup on both equipment and service expenses, Feldman said.
Customers can also easily opt out of the
pilot by calling Recology San Mateo
County. Those interested in participating,
can also request a larger trash bin free of
charge during the pilot as well as always
request a larger recycling bin free of charge,
Feldman said.
Furthermore, trash will never be left out and
although SBWMA is encouraging those in
the pilot to participate by only putting trash
bins out every other week, regular weekly
collections will continue, Feldman and
Leonhardt said.
Residents that want to participate but that
are afraid theyre not going to have enough
garbage service, should realize the benefits.
They can get double the size of their existing
can at no additional cost during the pilot,
Feldman said. The service amount doesnt

change, but they are participating by putting
it out every other week.
Leonhardt added we want to make sure
were not leaving anything behind. If they
put out their garbage, it will be collected.
RethinkWaste has more information about
what can be recycled and tips for diverting
waste. For those who are worried about their
trash bins smelling, it might be an indicator
that compostable goods such as food scraps
arent being properly disposed of, according
to RethinkWastes website.
Roxanne Murray, San Mateos solid waste
and recycling program coordinator, assured
residents can always opt out. Still, many single-family homes or seniors have noted they
dont always fill their garbage bins and reducing collection frequency could further assist
in greenhouse gas reduction efforts by having
fewer trucks on the road.
Were looking, as we go
forward, to hopefully reduce
waste, and find ways to benefit the community, Murray
said. It will always be an
optional service, and we want
to give our residents as many
opportunities for diverting
waste disposal.
After the pilot, the
SBWMA board of directors
will review the results and
consider whether to expand
the program. SBWMA services

Stepped-up enforcement
In the meantime, Weinhauer said he hopes
San Mateo police will begin stepping up
enforcement of existing laws and instead of
issuing warning letters, hed like to see
offenders actually be ticketed or towed.
City Attorney Shawn Mason said this
type of behavior has been challenging to
regulate and its not an issue unique to San
Mateo.
Mason said the city can legally only regulate certain conduct, not the constitutionally protected First Amendment right of displaying a sign.
At the City Councils upcoming goal setting session, Mason said he would suggest
the possibility of looking into an ordinance that would regulate conduct, such as
the act of selling a vehicle in the street.
It could be similar to a 2007 state law,
which prohibits vehicles being parked on
the street for the purpose of being sold. That
19
law only applies to state-owned roads, such

as El Camino Real or highways, and can
technically be enforced by municipal police
departments, Mason said.
Either way, the ordinance language must
be carefully crafted and it could require significant police resources to gather evidence
and prove a case.
Its an issue thats really hard to nail
down precisely the conduct that we want to
make illegal and where, Mason said, noting the city wouldnt want to prevent a
homeowner from parking their own for sale
car in front of their property. Another factor
is how do you establish [conduct] and what
evidence to you have to get and how do you
get that evidence? Thats the challenge.
Time limits
Ultimately, the most direct way of dealing
with the issue may be to regulate parking
time limits, Mason said.
Weinhauer said he may be new to the
neighborhood, but this ongoing problem
has stirred most of the neighbors hes met.
Additionally, people are paying premium
prices to afford homes in the area and after
spending a pretty penny to buy property in
San Mateo, he wants to make sure its safe
for his young family.
This isnt a used car lot. Our homes are
here, we live here. Imagine if your friends
couldnt come over or you couldnt park
your own car, Weinhauer said. Theres
people walking down the street with flashlights at night, its a huge safety concern.
had success with programs such as this or are
in the process of implementing pilots and
include Toronto, San Francisco, Castro
Valley and Mountain View, Feldman said.
Leonhardt said San Mateo will hopefully
join in helping to reduce greenhouse gas
emissions by diverting more residential
waste.
The intention of the pilot was to encourage this group of residents to do the right
thing and try to eliminate the amount of
garbage thats going into their cart. And
essentially challenge themselves, said
Leonhardt said. We hope [customers] get
excited about the opportunity to be one of
these innovative new cities that are testing a
program like this.

DATEBOOK
IOWA
It is too late for establishment politics and establishment economics,
said Sanders, who declared the
Democratic race a virtual tie.
Clinton took the stage at her own
campaign rally saying she was breathing a big sigh of relief but with the
Democratic race too close to call. Aware
that even a slim victory over Sanders
would reinvigorate questions about her
candidacy, she foresaw a long race to
come.
It is rare that we have the opportunity we do now, to have a real contest of
ideas, to really think hard about what
the Democratic Party stands for and
what we want the future of our country
to look like, Clinton said.
Trump has shaken the Republican
Party perhaps more than any other candidate, though he was unable to turn his
legion of fans into an Iowa victory.
He sounded humble in defeat, saying
he was honored by the support of
Iowans. And he vowed to keep up his
fight for the Republican nomination.
We will go on to easily beat Hillary
or Bernie or whoever the hell they
throw up, Trump told cheering supporters.
For Clintons supporters, the tight
race with Sanders was sure to bring back
painful memories of her loss to Barack
SCHOOLS
I think it is extremely valuable,
said Phayprasert, of Hills effort to
encourage districts to consider allowing more time for students to rest.
Studies by the American Academy of
Pediatrics found teens and adolescents
experience improved mental health,
get better grades and are less prone to
suffering a variety of other health
defects after being afforded more time
to sleep.
As a result, school officials along
the Peninsula, including the Sequoia
and San Mateo union high school districts, have discussed or implemented
delayed bell schedules.
Millbrae school officials are only
discussing starting classes at the districts middle school later, because
there is a limited amount of research
showing elementary school children
stand to gain the same benefits as older
children from more rest, said
Phayprasert.
Phayprasert said though he understands the impetus for the discussion,
he questions whether a delayed start
time for Taylor Middle School is necessary, as the first bell currently rings
at 8:28 a.m.
Obama in 2008. Her campaign spent

nearly a year building a get-out-thevote operation in Iowa yet still seemed
to be caught off guard by the enthusiasm surrounding Sanders.
A self-declared democratic socialist
from Vermont, Sanders drew large,
youthful crowds across the state with
his calls for breaking up big Wall Street
banks and his fierce opposition to a
campaign finance system that he says
is rigged for the wealthy.
With the race too close to call,
Sanders aides said they had been told
by the Iowa Democratic Party that it did
not have results from several precincts
and had asked the campaigns to help get
the missing information. The party said
it was awaiting results from a small
number of outstanding precincts and
had reached out to the campaigns for
help contacting the chairs from those
sites.
Cruz modeled his campaign after past
Iowa Republican winners, visiting all
of the states 99 counties and courting
evangelical and conservative leaders.
While candidates with that portfolio
have often faded later in the primary
season, Cruz hopes to ride his momentum to the nomination.
Trump took second place, but Rubio,
favored
by
more
mainstream
Republicans, gave him a battle even for
that.
We have taken the first step, but an
important step, to winning the nomination, Rubio said at a campaign rally
in Des Moines.
Candidates in both parties faced an

electorate deeply frustrated with
Washington. While the economy has
improved under President Barack
Obama, the recovery has eluded many
Americans. New terror threats at home
and abroad have increased national
security concerns.
Voters at Republican caucuses indicated they were deeply unhappy with
the way the federal government is working. Half said they were dissatisfied and
4 in 10 said they were angry, according
to surveys conducted by Edison
Research for the Associated Press and
the television networks.
Six in 10 Democratic caucus-goers
wanted a candidate who would continue
Obamas policies. Young voters overwhelmingly backed Sanders.
Both parties were drawing new voters. About 4 in 10 participants in each
party said they were caucusing for the
first time.
In Iowa, which has for decades
launched the presidential nominating
contest, candidates also faced an electorate thats whiter, more rural and more
evangelical than many states. But,
given its prime leadoff spot in the primary season, the state gets extra attention from presidential campaigns.
The caucuses marked the end of at
least two candidates White House
hopes. Former Maryland Gov. Martin
OMalley ended his longshot bid for the
Democratic nomination.
Former
Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee dropped
out on the Republican side.
He said pushing the bell schedule

back further could cause a challenge for
district parents, as the district elementary schools start at 8:15 a.m. and
many families rely on staggered start
times to drop off children at separate
schools without students facing being
tardy.
The issue of school start time is
especially sensitive in Millbrae, said
Phayprasert, because traffic congestion can form near school campuses in
the morning and he is concerned about
compounding the severity of the gridlock by altering bell schedules.
Mills High School is also considering pushing back its start time, said
Phayprasert, which will require collaboration from school officials to
attempt to ensure local families are not
inconvenienced.
When you change bell schedules, it
impacts peoples lives, said
Phayprasert.
When serving as principal at Spring
Valley
Elementary
School,
Phayprasert said he had to show up at
work well before the bell rang so as to
avoid getting stuck in traffic which
could last as long as 30 minutes.
No decision is slated to be made at
the upcoming board meeting, said
Phayprasert.
We are just having discussions and
well see if it goes anywhere, he said.
When considering changing bell

schedules, Phayprasert said officials
also need to be alert to whether there is
adequate supervision by school staff
available on site before classes start.
We certainty are aware there may be
some concerns with unsupervised students, he said.
He said ultimately whether the district moves the bell schedule will be
decided by the school board.
I dont know what direction our
board will take, he said.
In other business, the board will also
discuss legislation authored by Hill
which proposed to require school districts interested in laying artificial turf
at playing fields to consider alternative surfaces to those which use infill
comprised of recycled tires.
Hills field turf bill, which was proposed to address potential health concerns associated with extended exposure to recycled tire rubber, was shot
down by legislators last month.
The school district does not have
any artificial turf playing fields currently, said Phayprasert, but officials
felt the discussion was necessary in
response to Hills efforts to impose
regulations on the industry.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
Blanca Judith Burke
Case Number: 126522
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of Blanca Judith Burke. A
Petition for Probate has been filed by
Patricia Medina and John Burke in the
Superior Court of California, County of
San Mateo. The Petition for Probate requests that Patricia Medina and John
Burke be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the
decedent.
The petition requests the decedents will
and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the
court.
The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent

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.

U.N. envoy declares

official beginning
to Syria peace talks
By Bassem Mroue
and Jamey Keaten
GENEVA Syrian peace talks

gained a small measure of momentum Monday with the U.N. special
envoy formally declaring the start
of indirect negotiations, even as
the
opposition
spokesman
accused Russia of producing a
new Hitler in Moscow and supporting another Hitler in
Damascus.
Staffan de Mistura, the U. N.
envoy, is now working to keep a
wobbly process alive and compel
world powers who helped set the
stage for the talks to do more to
bring about a cease-fire in a fiveyear Syrian civil war.
De Mistura said the mere arrival
of a delegation from the main

Syrian opposition group, the
High Negotiations Committee, at
the U.N. offices in Geneva was
enough to allow him to declare the
talks formally open. He previously met with a government delegation on Friday.
We are actually listening with
attention to the concerns of the
HNC, and we are going to tomorrow discuss and listen to the concerns of the government, de
Mistura told reporters after
Mondays meeting.
But HNC spokesman Salem alMislets comments highlighted
just how far apart the two sides are
and how much bad blood de
Mistura will have to overcome.
Al-Mislets criticism on Russian
President Vladimir Putin is of the

Negotiations Committee during the peace talks at the United Nations in Geneva, Switzerland.
harshest since Russia began an air
campaign in Syria four months
ago backing President Bashar
Assads troops. Government
forces have taken dozens of towns
and villages in recent weeks under

cover of Russian airstrikes.
The regime is the one killing
the Syrian people, al-Mislet said
when asked by a reporter working
for a Russian media outlet about

the participation of a representative of the militant Army of Islam
group that is in the oppositions
delegation.
IS victims advocate, pontiff among Nobel Peace Prize names

By Mark Lewis
STAVANGER, Norway A
woman who champions the rights
of Islamic State rape victims,
Pope Francis and the Afghan
womens cycling team are among
the known candidates for the 2016
Nobel Peace Prize as the nomination window was set to close
Monday.
The five-member Norwegian

Nobel
Committee typically
receives more than 200 nominations for the prestigious prize, and
keeps candidates secret for 50
years. Panel members can make
their own nominations during
their first judging meeting on Feb.
29.
Norwegian lawmaker Audun
Lysbakken nominated Nadia
Murad, a Yazidi who escaped from
Islamic State sexual slavery to

become a spokeswoman for those
abused by IS militants.
We want a peace prize that can
awaken the world to the fight
against sexual violence as a
weapon of war, Lysbakken, the
leader of Norways Socialist Left
Party, said in a statement.
He has also nominated the
Congolese
surgeon
Denis
Mukwege, who treats victims of
LIMITED
SEATING
sexual violence in that nations

civil war.
In December, Murad told the
U.N. Security Council how she and
thousands of other Yazidi women
and girls were abducted, held in
captivity and repeatedly raped
after the Iraqi province of Sinjar
fell to Islamic State militants in
August 2014. She escaped after
three months in captivity.
Nobel Laureate Desmond Tutu
has given his backing to Pope

Francis, as well as the economist
Herman Daly and The Club of
Rome think-tank for their significant contributions to global
understanding of sustainable
development.
The Afghani womens cycling
team has been nominated by 118
Italian lawmakers to promote the
most democratic means of transportation for all mankind.
