City moves toward cop cams

Redwood City officials explore implementation, vote likely next year
By Anna Schuessler
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
As part of a growing trend toward police

officers using body-worn cameras, Redwood
City officials are in the midst of considering an implementation plan which includes
the type of device and making sure the data
is stored safely.
The Redwood City Council accepted a
report Monday, Nov. 28, prepared by police
officials that outlines anticipated costs and
implementation timelines for a body-worn
camera system. The report details a plan
developed by an internal committee at the
Redwood City Police Department.
Redwood City Mayor John Seybert anticipates the item to come up for approval in
February or in the context of a mid-year
budget update when there will be further
information on plan details.
We have a phenomenal police staff with
incredible involvement and respect among
the community, he said.
The report was issued in response to a San
Mateo County Civil Grand Jury report recommending all local law enforcement consider adopting the technology to be more
forthcoming with information detailing

interactions between officers and residents.
Deputy Police Chief Gary Kirby said the
ongoing conversation will focus on cost
management and variables in product selection as opposed to a philosophical discussion of whether the department should use
body-worn camera systems.
Everyone from the council, to the Police
Department, police officers and community
members agrees that we should use bodyworn cameras. They are the next evolution
in policing, he said.
The questions that loom largest for Kirby
as the Police Department continues to
develop the plan are identifying a funding
source and selecting a body-worn camera
system.
There are no grants coming out of
Washington or the state to fund cameras for
a city of our size, a small-sized city, he
said. A lot of the money is being earmarked
for cities where this need is much more acute
than in Redwood City.
Deployment of the body-worn cameras in
the first year is expected to cost $430,909
with a total projected cost over six years of
$1,826,624, according to the report. These
estimates include the purchasing of cameras, data storage, cellphone replacement

and a dedicated staff person to coordinate
the efforts.
Selecting a camera system compatible
with a police forces current technologies
can further complicate cost estimations,
Kirby said.
[These technologies] are accelerating at
a pace comparable to the cellular phone,
said Kirby.
He noted the data collected from these
cameras will exist for a long time, and formulating a plan for retaining the data in a
secure way is a challenge for police departments planning to implement these systems.
Kirby is hopeful implementing a bodyworn camera system will increase opportunities for dialogue between the police and
the community in Redwood City, and show
the department is taking steps to build upon
that critical relationship.
When we look at the ability to expand
the opportunity for discussion and [make]
those lines of communications more wellestablished, thats a winnable situation, he
said.
Court: Asylum not automatic for former gangmembers

By Sudhin Thanawala
SAN FRANCISCO Immigrants in the

United States illegally are not automatically
eligible for asylum on the basis that they are
former gangmembers who risk persecution if
they return home, a federal appeals court
panel ruled Wednesday.
Three judges from the 9th U.S. Circuit
Court of Appeals upheld federal immigration
standards that exclude former gangmembers
from social groups that can clearly qualify for

protection. The ruling could affect thousands
of immigrants who are fleeing gang-related
violence in Central America, immigration
experts said.
We have so many asylum seekers form
Central America, and we have a lot of people
who are forced to join gangs, said Fatma
Marouf, a professor at Texas A&M University
School of Law who wrote a brief in the case.
The ruling came in a deportation proceeding against a man from El Salvador, Wilfredo
Garay Reyes, who left a gang in his home

country and entered the United States illegally in 2001 at the age of 18, after being shot
in the leg by a gang leader upset about his
defection.

Pursuit suspect gets

four years in prison
THE DAILY JOURNAL
Local briefs
A South San Francisco man arrested

after leading sheriffs deputies on a pursuit in a stolen car earlier this year was
sentenced Tuesday to four years in
prison, San Mateo County prosecutors
said.
Nathaniel Rohman was allegedly
spotted at 7:30 p.m. April 12 driving
south on Alameda de las Pulgas in San
Carlos by a San Mateo County sheriffs
deputy who subsequently learned
Rohman had a warrant for his arrest.
Prosecutors also allege the 40-yearold Rohman was driving a stolen vehicle.
The deputy tried to pull Rohman over
but he allegedly drove off and led the
deputies on a half-mile pursuit through
narrow city streets.
Rohman then allegedly lost control
of the vehicle and veered into oncoming
traffic. The vehicle allegedly hit the drivers side door of a deputys vehicle
involved in the pursuit, prosecutors
said.
Rohman then allegedly crashed the
vehicle into an embankment and led
deputies on a foot chase before being
captured. Deputies allege Rohman had
burglary tools in a backpack.
He was on parole when he was arrested. The deputy whose vehicle was hit
suffered back pain and had trouble
breathing, according to the district
attorneys office.
Rohman pleaded not guilty in April to
assaulting the deputy. Prosecutors
dropped that charge because they felt
they could not prove it beyond a reasonable doubt, Deputy District Attorney
Karen Guidotti said.
Rohman on Tuesday pleaded no contest to evading a deputy and auto theft.
He will be back in court on Jan. 10 to
learn what restitution hell have to
make.
Rohmans attorney Brandon Douglas
could not immediately be reached for
comment.
Suspect arrested in hit-and-run

that caused major injuries
A man was arrested early Wednesday
morning in South San Francisco on suspicion of hitting a pedestrian with a
vehicle in San Bruno and then leaving
the scene, police said.
Officers responded at 2:13 a.m. to the
collision near El Camino Real and
Citation Avenue, where they found a 42year-old man lying in the road, San
Bruno police said.
The man was unconscious and suffering from major injuries. He was taken to
a hospital where hes been treated and is
expected to survive.
A few hours later, police were able to
track down the suspect, Jason Abreu, in
his hometown of South San Francisco.
Police spoke with a witness who got a
possible license plate number and
description of the vehicle.
From that and other information, officers were able to find Abreu, who confessed to being the driver in the collision, Sgt. Ryan Johansen said.
Abreu, 42, was arrested and taken to
the county jail on suspicion of hit-andrun causing serious injury.
Anyone with information about the
collision is urged to get in touch with
San Bruno police at (650) 616-7100 or
by
email
at
sbpdtipline@sanbruno.ca.gov.
Skateboard assault suspect

to get mental health evaluation
The plea of a suspect who assaulted a
South San Francisco police officer with
a skateboard last week was put off
Wednesday to be sure he is mentally
healthy and give the defense time to prepare, San Mateo County prosecutors and
the defense attorney said.
Alberto Ramos-Coreas was scheduled
to enter a plea at 1:30 p.m. in Redwood
City, but the court granted him a mental
health evaluation to be sure he is
healthy enough to begin court proceedings.

The 28-year-old Ramos-Coreas is suspected of hitting 12-year veteran South
San Francisco police Officer Robby
Chon in the head with a skateboard at
about 2:20 p.m. on Thanksgiving Day.
Chon was still in the hospital
Monday. He lost consciousness in the
attack, suffered a skull fracture and
required brain surgery to stop some
bleeding, according to prosecutors.
Doctors remain optimistic and have
said Chon is showing signs of recovery,
police said.
Chon was responding to a report of a
man acting irate toward patrons at a
business in the 300 block of Grand
Avenue, according to police.
When officers responded, they tried to
approach Ramos-Coreas who was
allegedly causing the disturbance.
South San Francisco resident RamosCoreas allegedly refused to comply with
the officers requests. When additional
officers arrived, Ramos-Coreas allegedly fled on a skateboard and Chon began
chasing him, police said.
During the chase, Ramos-Coreas
allegedly stopped, turned and struck
Chon in the head with the skateboard.
Ramos-Coreas allegedly started running again but officers were able to capture him.
He was arrested on suspicion of
attempted murder, assault with a deadly
weapon, resisting arrest and battery on a
peace officer, police said.
According to police, Chons family,
as well as the South San Francisco
Police Department, are extremely grateful for the support and prayers theyve
received from the community.
Ramos-Coreas was initially appointed an attorney from the countys private
defender program, but he has now hired
attorney Ryan McHugh.
We all wish the best for the victim,
McHugh said.
He added that hes looking forward to
receiving the discovery from prosecutors and seeing what he can do to defend
Ramos-Coreas.

House Dems re-elect Pelosi

Food allergies are common and sometimes can trigger

Science panel urges a rewrite

of food allergy warning labels
By Lauran Neergaard
WASHINGTON Made in the same factory as peanuts.

May contain traces of tree nuts. A new report says the
hodgepodge of warnings that a food might accidentally
contain a troublesome ingredient is confusing to people
with food allergies, and calls for a makeover.
Foods made with allergy-prone ingredients such as
peanuts or eggs must be labeled so consumers with food
allergies know to avoid them. But what if a sugar cookie
picks up peanut butter from an improperly cleaned factory
mixer?
Todays precautionary labels about accidental contamination are voluntary, meaning theres no way to know if foods
that dont bear them should or if wording such as may
contain traces signals a bigger threat than other warnings.
Wednesday, a report from the prestigious National
Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine said
its time for regulators and the food industry to clear consumer confusion with labels that better reflect the level of
risk.

have inspired OSU attacker
COLUMBUS, Ohio A Somali-born student who carried

out a car-and-knife attack at Ohio State University might
have been inspired by the Islamic State
group and a former al-Qaida leader, investigators said Wednesday.
Law enforcement officials said that its
too soon to say the rampage that hurt 11
people on Monday was terrorism. They
said they arent aware of any direct contact between the Islamic State group and
the attacker, Ohio State student Abdul
Abdul Artan Razak Ali Artan.
We only believe he may have been
inspired by the group, said Angela Byers, the top FBI
agent overseeing federal investigations in the southern half
of Ohio.
Artan also might have been influenced by Anwar alAwlaki, a U.S.-born cleric who took a leadership role in alQaida before being killed in a 2011 U.S. drone strike in
Yemen, Byers said.

that dropped out of the night sky
killed five people in two states and
injured at least a dozen more early
Wednesday, adding to a seemingly
biblical onslaught of drought, flood
and fire plaguing the South.
The storms tore through just as firefighters began to get control of wildfires that killed seven and damaged or
wiped out more than 700 homes and
businesses around the resort town of
Gatlinburg, Tennessee. In Alabama,
the weather system dumped more than
2 inches of rain in areas that had been
parched by months of choking
drought.
At least 13 confirmed twisters damaged homes, splintered barns and
toppled trees in parts of Alabama,
Louisiana,
Mississippi
and
Tennessee, the National Weather
Service said. Tombstones were even
knocked over in the cemetery behind
the badly damaged Rosalie Baptist
Church, near where three people died
in northeastern Alabama.
It looks like the rapture happened
up there, said church member Steve
Hall, referring to the end-times belief
of many Christians.
Are we thinking the Lord is trying
to get our attention? said the pastor,
Roger Little.

The National Weather Service was
assessing damage from multiple possible tornadoes across the region. At
least five hit Alabama, and three more
struck southern Tennessee, and one
confirmed in Louisiana and at least 4
in Mississippi, forecasters said.
A possible tornado was spotted on
the ground Wednesday a few miles
from Atlanta, and flights were briefly
delayed at the citys main airport, but
no major damage occurred.
Three people were killed and one
person critically injured in a mobile
home after an apparent twister hit
tiny Rosalie, about 115 miles north-
east of Birmingham, said Jackson

County Chief Deputy Rocky Harnen.
A suspected tornado was responsible for the death of a husband and wife
in southern Tennessees Polk County,
while an unknown number of others
were injured,
said Tennessee
Emergency Management Agency
spokesman Dean Flener. No details
were immediately available.
The Daily Post-Athenian in

Meigs County sheriffs office said
lightning is suspected as the cause of
two deaths in a mobile home fire

As Trump claims to have saved

Carrier jobs, details remain hazy
REUTERS
President-elect Donald Trumps nominee for Attorney General, Sen. Jeff Sessions, left, meets
with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.
WASHINGTON In persuading Carrier to

keep hundreds of jobs in Indiana, Presidentelect Donald Trump is claiming victory on
behalf of factory workers whose positions
were bound for Mexico. But the scant details
that have emerged so far raise doubts about
the extent of the victory.
By enabling Carriers Indianapolis plant to
stay open, the deal spares about 800 union
workers whose jobs were going to be outsourced to Mexico, according to federal officials who were briefed by the heating and air
conditioning company. This suggests that
hundreds will still lose their jobs at the factory, where roughly 1,400 workers were slated
to be laid off.
Also, neither Trump nor Carrier has yet to
say what the workers might have to give up or

precisely what threats or incentives were used
to get the manufacturer to change its mind.
Theres excitement with most people, but
theres a lot of skepticism and worry because
we dont know the details, said TJ Bray, 32,
who has worked for Carrier for 14 years and
installs insulation in furnaces.
Theres a few that are worried. And theres
still a few that dont even believe this is real.
They think its a play, a set-up or a scam.
Sen. Joe Donnelly, an Indiana Democrat,
said he, too, has lingering questions about
what the announcement could mean for the
workers. Who is going to be retained? What
is the structure there will be for the retention?
What is going to be put in place? Donnelly
said. Are these the same jobs at the same
wage? I would sure like to know as soon as I
can.
Trumps Cabinet:Draining Stein makes Michigan third

state for presidential recount
the swamp or diving in?
By Julie Pace and Josh Boak

WASHINGTON Donald Trump promised to drain the swamp in the nations

capital. Instead, hes diving right in.
So far, the president-elect is tapping people with deep ties to Washington and Wall
Street as he fills out his Cabinet, turning to
two power centers he vilified as greedy, corrupt and out of touch with Americans during
his White House campaign. His choices
have won praise from Republicans relieved
by his more conventional choices, but
could risk angering voters who rallied
behind his calls for upending the political
system.
Two of Trumps early picks are wealthy
financial industry insiders with ties to the
kinds of institutions he railed against as a
candidate. Elaine Chao, his choice for
transportation secretary and an accomplished political figure in her own right, is
married to Senate Majority Leader Mitch
McConnell blending family and political power in a way Trump fiercely criticized
campaign rival Hillary Clinton for. Jeff
Sessions, Trumps selection for attorney
general, has spent two decades in the
Senate, and Tom Price, his health and
human services nominee, is a six-term con-
gressman.
The gap
between
Trumps campaign rhetoric and his governing
decisions is most striking regarding his emerging economic team. On
Wednesday,
he
announced
that
he
Donald Trump planned to nominate former Goldman Sachs
executive Steven Mnuchin as his Treasury
secretary and billionaire investor Wilbur
Ross to lead the Commerce Department.
As a candidate, Trump said Wall Street had
created tremendous problems for the
country.
He included the CEO of Goldman Sachs in
a television advertisement that accused
global financial powers of having robbed
our working class.
Mnuchin and Ross also have financial
links to Trumps White House bid, with
Mnuchin having led the campaigns
fundraising efforts. Trump repeatedly
bragged that his personal wealth he
mostly self-funded his campaign during the
primaries meant he would not be beholden to donors who might expect their financial contributions to be repaid with powerful jobs or insider access.
Conflict rules hardly the

same for president, others
By Julie Bykowicz and Mark Sherman
WASHINGTON Rep. David McKinley

has sold his West Virginia engineering and
architecture firm, but it still bears his name
and that earned the Republican congressman a rebuke from the House Ethics
Committee.
President-elect Donald Trump has built an
international property management, real
estate and branding business around his
name. There appears to be no consequence for
that.
When it comes to ethics, not all government employees and elected officials are regulated equally. Whats a serious matter for a
second-term congressman with a small business has no equivalent for a president with a
multibillion-dollar empire.
The governments legislative and judicial
branches are governed by well-established
rules, but theres far less clarity about what a
president can and cannot do. Conflict of
interest provisions are generally looser,
though Democrat Jimmy Carter, Republican
George W. Bush and many other recent presidents took care to separate themselves from
their businesses.
Trump tweeted Wednesday that he would
soon announce his plans to step back from

his company while he is president. He wrote
that legal documents are being crafted which
take me completely out of business operations.
Many serious questions remain: Will he
retain an ownership stake? Will, as top aide
Kellyanne Conway suggested, his adult children own and run the business? If they do take
over the Trump Organization, will they continue to be involved in Trumps administration, as they have been?
Spokesmen for Trumps transition and the
Trump Organization have not provided
details.
While Trump develops his plan, ethics
lawyers and good-government groups are
reviewing laws, past cases and best practices
as well as issues of who would even have
the standing to call out a president for possible conflict of interest violations.
As Danielle Brian, executive director of the
nonprofit Project on Government Oversight,
put it, Were researching things that hadnt
even been considered before.
We have never had a president with these
enormous business conflicts domestically
and globally, said Norman Eisen, who
served as President Barack Obamas first
White House ethics czar.
LANSING, Mich. Green Party presidential nominee Jill Stein on Wednesday

requested a full hand recount of Michigans
presidential vote, making it the third state
narrowly won by Republican Donald Trump
where she wants another look at the results.
Stein previously asked for recounts of the
votes in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
President-elect Trump defeated Democrat
Hillary Clinton by about 10,700 votes out
of nearly 4. 8 million ballots cast in
Michigan, or two-tenths of a percentage
point. But Stein alleges that irregularities
and the possibility that vote scanning
devices could have been hacked call the
results into question. Elections officials in
all three states have

expressed confidence in
the results.
Michigans

could start as early as
Friday, though a challenge to the recount by
Trump may delay it.

Iraqs forces retake 19

Mosul neighborhoods
By Srdjan Nedeljkovic
and Qassim Abdul-Zahra
AL-QASR, Iraq Iraqi special

forces fighting Islamic State militants on the eastern side of Mosul
have retaken 19 neighborhoods
from the extremist group since the
battle for the city began last
month, a senior Iraqi commander
said on Wednesday.
Brig. Gen. Haider Fadhil of the
special forces told the Associated
Press his men were now about four
kilometers (2.5 miles) from the
Tigris river, which slices the city
in half. He said the 19 neighborhoods constituted less than 30
percent of the part of the city east
of the Tigris.
The government last month
launched a massive campaign to
retake Mosul from IS. The offensive was launched on multiple
fronts, but most of the fighting
has to date been concentrated in
the citys eastern sector, with
Iraqs special forces taking the
lead.
The presence inside the city of
an estimated 1 million residents

has slowed down the campaigns
progress, with the Iraqis and their
allies in a U. S. -led coalition
avoiding the use of overwhelming
power to protect civilians.
He said also that rain has vastly
reduced the scale of fighting in
Mosul on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, Iraqi army troops
sweeping through an area southeast of Mosul on Wednesday came
under attack from Islamic State
militants
firing
automatic
weapons and mortars.
The troops from the 9th
Armored Division were on a foot
patrol when they came under fire
by IS militants stationed on the
opposite bank of the Tigris River.
The troops were sweeping an
area east of the Tigris before they
pressed on with their advance on
Mosul, Iraqs second largest city
captured by IS in June 2014.

NASA spacecraft embarks on

ring-skimming Saturn mission
By Marcia Dunn
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. Consider it a

cosmic carousel with countless rings up for
grabs.
NASAs Saturn-orbiting spacecraft,
Cassini, has begun an unprecedented mission to skim the planets rings. On Tuesday,
Cassini got a gravitational assist from
Saturns big moon Titan. That put the spacecraft on course to graze Saturns main outer
rings over the next five months.
The first orbit of this new venture begins
Wednesday night. Then on Sunday, an
engine firing by Cassini should seal the
deal, with the spacecraft making its first
ring crossing.

Syrians fleeing government advances in Aleppo shelled

By Philip Issa
and Sarah El Deeb
BEIRUT A series of artillery rounds

lobbed Wednesday on Syrias eastern
Aleppo district killed 26 civilians, including seven children, as they fled a government ground offensive in the besieged
enclave.
It was the second time the Jub al-Quba
neighborhood, in the historic district of the
rebel-held eastern side of the city, was
struck in as many days.
An airstrike Tuesday blamed by activists
on the government killed 25 civilians in the
same area. They were also believed to be
newly displaced from the government
onslaught on the northern parts of eastern
Aleppo.
Meanwhile, eight civilians, including
two children, were killed in shelling on the
government-held western side of the city,
according to state media. The government
blamed rebels for the attack.
The embattled opposition fighters
clashed heavily on the southern edge of the
enclave with government-allied troops,
who made new gains in the government
offensive that has cleaved the rebel-held
part of the city.
The Syrian government pushed its way
into the 45-square kilometer (17 square
miles) rebel-held enclave over the weekend,
making its first territorial gain in the area
seized by the opposition fighters since
2012.
Government officials say they want to
liberate the area, calling the opposition
fighters terrorists, and accusing them of
holding civilians there hostage.
Despite opening a number of passageways to allow civilians to leave before the
offensive, none of the residents took advantage of it, citing fears of being arrested or
forcibly conscripted. The passageways were
not U.N. supervised.
In New York on Wednesday, Syrias U.N.
Ambassador Bashar Jaafari accused the
rebels of opening fire on the civilians as
they tried to flee eastern Aleppo.
The bodies of the victims of the Jub alQuba attack Wednesday lined the streets, as
their bags and few belongings lied close by
their sides, photos showed.
Jawad al-Rifai, who took the pictures for
the Aleppo Media Center, said they were

civilians mostly women and children
fleeing shelling and air strikes on other
parts of the city.
They were fleeing on foot. They were
coming to our side, said Ibrahim Al-Haj, a
member of the Syrian Civil Defense teams,
explaining that the displaced were heading
to what they thought was safer ground.
There were children, baby bottles and bags
all over.
The neighborhood and others around it in
Aleppos centrally-located old city have
absorbed thousands of residents displaced
by the advance of government troops in the
east.
Abdulkafi Alhamdo, a teacher living in
the Zabadieh neighborhood in eastern
Aleppo, said refugees were filling up his
building, most of its flats abandoned
because of the war. They had close to nothing, he said, and have asked for the simplest
things, including salt.
They knock on my door all the time.
They ask for a plate, or some sheets,
Alhamdo said.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for
Human Rights, which monitors the war in
Syria through a network of local contacts,
said tens more were wounded in Jub al-Quba.
Observatory chief Rami Abdurrahman said
he predicts death tolls will rise in east
Aleppo as the internal displacement creates
more residential density.
The SCD in eastern Aleppo, also known as
the White Helmets, put the toll at 45 killed.
It blamed the government for the strikes.
Rescue efforts by the group were hampered
by the lack of functioning machinery, said
Rifai.
Most of their equipment is out of service
because of the targeting against their quarters, he added.
Tens of thousands of people have been
displaced in Aleppo as pro-government
Syrian forces press on with their campaign
to reclaim the divided city.
The Observatory said more than 50,000
out of an estimated quarter-million inhabitants have been displaced by attacks on
rebel-held eastern Aleppo over the past 4
days. Many of them fled to safer ground in
areas under government or Kurdish control.
The International Committee of the Red
Cross says around 20, 000 people have
fled.
U.N. further tightens North Korea sanctions

By Michael Astor
UNITED NATIONS The U.N. Security

Council voted Wednesday to further tighten
sanctions on North Korea following months
of diplomatic wrangling over how best to
respond to North Koreas latest nuclear test in
September and their repeated defiance of international sanctions and diplomatic pressure.
The council unanimously approved the
sanctions resolution with diplomats hailing
it as a major step forward in its efforts to get
the Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea
(DPRK) to abandon its nuclear ambitions.
In March, this council passed what were
then the toughest sanctions to date on the
DPRK. But the DPRK remained as determined
as ever to continue advancing its nuclear technology. The DPRK found ways to continue
diverting revenue from exports to fund its
research, it tried to cover up its business dealings abroad, and it looked for openings to
smuggle illicit materials by land, sea, and air.
U.S. Ambassador Samantha Power said following the vote. Todays resolution systematically goes after each of these illicit
schemes.
The new sanctions target North Koreas
hard currency revenues by placing a cap on
coal exports, cutting them by at least 62 percent or by an estimated $800 million.
The new sanctions further clarify that the
livelihood exemption, which allowed the
Chinese imports, is meant only to protect the
livelihoods of those currently living inside
North Korea, not Chinese people or companies doing business with the country.
The sanctions also slap a ban on North
Koreas exports of non-ferrous metals and
sanction 11 government officials as well as

10 entities linked to the countrys nuclear
weapons program.
The sanctions include a host of other measures cracking down on the countrys access to
the international banking system and on
North Koreas export of statues, which have
earned the country hard currency mostly
through sales to African nations.
The resolution also threatens, for the first
time, to suspend some or all of North Koreas
U.N. privileges if it does not comply.
North Koreas main ally and largest trade
partner, China hailed the sanctions as striking a balance between punishing the rogue
nation and protecting its people.
The resolution adopted by the council
today demonstrates the uniform stand of the
international community against the development by DPRK of its nuclear missile programs and forward the maintenance of the
international non-proliferation regime,
Chinas Ambassador Liu Jieyi said, adding
that the measures are not intended to produce
negative consequences on DPRKs humanitarian situation.
But Jieyi also criticized the planned U.S.
deployment of a missile shield in South Korea
as potentially destabilizing for the region.
Japans Ambassador Koro Bessho said he
hoped the increased pressure would bring
North Korea back to the negotiating table.
We are introducing the sanctions, not for
the sake of introducing sanctions but in order
to change the course of DPRK policy. If the
DPRK shows commitment to denuclearization, serious commitment and concrete
actions, we are certainly ready to come into
dialogue with them and try to solve the situation, Bessho said.

Aleppo loses clown who warmed hearts

BEIRUT When war is constant, it can

be easy to lose sight of how much a single
death can matter. But the passing of one

to cheer up the Aleppos traumatized children. He was killed Tuesday in a presumed
Russian or government missile strike on
the Mashhad neighborhood in the besieged,
eastern side of the city.
In a now largely bombed-out enclave,
Space for Hope supports 12 schools and four
psycho-social support centers in eastern
Aleppo, providing counseling and financial
support for 365 children who have lost one
or both parents. Many of the staff of 34

Overdraft coming to prepaid

cards, with heavy restrictions
By Ken Sweet
NEW YORK More consumers who use

prepaid debit cards will be able to spend
more than their balance, starting next
October. But if that feature sounds very
much like overdraft protection on a traditional checking account, well, there are
some key differences.
The new rules, finalized by the Consumer
Financial Protection Bureau in October, will
make prepaid debit cards even more like traditional checking accounts, but also will
require customers who want overdraft protection to apply for it like a credit card.
Customers have generally not wanted the
ability to overdraft a prepaid debit card, and
only a small minority of prepaid card issuers
offer overdraft as a feature. Consumer advocates say the CFPBs rules could make overdraft more common among prepaid debit
card companies, but generally customers are
against it.
Once a product whose only purpose was to
function as a gift card, prepaid debit cards

have become popular over the last 15 years
for many Americans, who use them as an
alternative to a traditional bank account.
Roughly $65 billion was loaded onto prepaid cards in 2012, the most recent year for
which data are available. Thats more than
double the amount loaded in 2009, only
three years before. The amount loaded is
expected to double again by 2018, according to the CFPB.
And as they have grown in popularity, the
cards have developed many features that
mimic a traditional checking account. But
one feature of checking accounts that the
vast majority of prepaid debit card features
didnt have was overdraft. Mainly because
prepaid debit card customers didnt want it.
A 2015 study by the Pew Charitable Trusts
showed that 72 percent of prepaid debit card
users listed the ability to avoid overdraft
fees as a primary reason why they liked
using the cards. The only prepaid company
of any significant size that offers overdraft
protection is NetSpend.
Binge watching on Netflix no

SAN FRANCISCO Netflix subscribers

can now binge on many of their favorite
shows and movies even when they dont
have an internet connection.
The long-awaited offline option
announced Wednesday gives Netflixs 87
million subscribers offline access to videos
for the first time in the streaming services
decade-long history.
Netflix is matching a downloading feature that one of its biggest rivals,
Amazon. com, has been offering to its
video subscribers for the past year. Its
something that also has been available on
YouTubes popular video site, though a
subscription is required in the U.S. and
other countries where the site sells its
Red premium service.
The new feature puts Netflix a step ahead
of two other major rivals. Offline options

arent available on HBOs internet-only
package, HBO Now, or Hulu, although that
service has publicly said it hopes to introduce a downloading feature.
Netflix subscribers wishing to download
a video on their smartphone or tablet need
to update the app on their Apple or Android
device.
Not all of the selections in Netflixs
video library can be downloaded, although
several of the services most popular
shows, including Orange Is The New
Black, House of Cards, and Stranger
Things, are now available to watch
offline.
Downloadable
movies
include
Spotlight, this years Oscar winner for
best film. Notably missing from the downloadable menu are movies and TV shows
made by Walt Disney Co. Those still require
an internet connection to watch on Netflix.

All high school coaches regardless of

the sport walk a ne line when putting
together the non-league portion of their
schedule.
An opponent that is too soft or too tough
doesnt really help a coach much, but when
they get it right, a tough game can tell a lot
about a team.
Burlingame boys basketball coach Pete
Harames got it just right when he scheduled
Monta Vista-Cupertino as the Panthers season-opening opponent Wednesday night in
Burlingame. The Panthers were involved in a
tough matchup, one that saw them trail by as
many as 12 points in the second half.
But Burlingame stiffened defensively and
took control midway though the third quarter. The Panthers cut their decit to three,
46-43, after three before outscoring the
Matadors 16-4 in the fourth quarter to pull
out a 59-50 victory.
They (Monta Vista) were smaller, quicker, Harames said. It was a match-up zone
(that gave us problems) and with our inexperience, we struggled.
It seems every year for the last decade,
Burlingame always had one player who
would be It for the Panthers and then the
rest of the team would be built around him.
This year, Harames said he is essentially
replacing the entire starting lineup from last
years squad and while the team did show typical opening-night struggles, Harames had
to like a lot of what he saw.
First, there is another Ferrari taking aim
from downtown. Senior Paulie Ferrari,
cousin to former Burlingame standouts
Frankie and Vinny Ferrari, showed he has
that Ferrari stroke as he buried seven 3pointers on his way to a 25-point night.
It was four Ferraris 3-pointers in the rst
quarter that enabled the Panthers to score 21
points, while his trio of 3-pointers in the
third quarter jump-started the Panthers rally.
He had Tommy John surgery last year, so
he didnt play as a junior, Harames said.
Now, hes nding out the speed of the varsity game.

Oaklands Khalil Mack steps up production

ALAMEDA With the game on the line,
the Carolina Panthers sent three blockers in
Khalil Macks direction to no avail.
He overpowered Trai Turner, beat a chip
attempt by running back Fozzy Whittaker and
then knocked the ball out of Cam Newtons
hands for a game-sealing strip sack before
guard Chris Scott could get over to help.
Those types of plays are becoming commonplace for Mack, who has put together
quite the encore following last seasons historic campaign when he became the first
player ever picked as a first-team All-Pro at
two positions in one season.
With sacks in six straight games, his first
career interception and first career touchdown
last week and relentless pressure every game,
Mack is a major reason for

this years success for the
Raiders (9-2) and perhaps
the leagues most dominant defender.
I think him and Von
Miller are the two best in
the league right now, the
two best edge pass rushers
and they can do it all,
Khalil Mack
Bills coach Rex Ryan said
on a conference call ahead of Buffalos game
against the Raiders this Sunday. Thats what
Im seeing from him, a guy that can play with
speed, power, finesse. You name it, hes got
it. When you look at those two, theyre the
only two, in my opinion, that are comparable.
Mack has showed continual improvement
since coming into the league as the fifth overall pick out of Buffalo in 2014. He made a big
impact as a rookie in Oakland although he

only managed four sacks. He added a few new
wrinkles last year and boosted his production
to 15 sacks, including five in one game
against eventual Super Bowl champion
Denver.
This year, hes doing it all. From his athletic interception and return for a score last week
against Carolina to his nine sacks to his 60
quarterback pressures which lead all edge
rushers, according to Pro Football Focus, to
his new role as defensive leader now that
Justin Tuck and Charles Woodson have
retired.
Mack gives motivational talks before
games and has come up with the motto By
any means that his teammates have adopted
as the mantra for this years Raiders.
Even though Im a younger player, Im just
stepping in and doing my part and my role,
he said. Its all about that for me. There are
still a lot of things we have to do better defensively. Thats whats on my mind right now.
That perfectionist streak helped Mack grow
from a player who got near the quarterback so
often as a rookie but was unable to generate
sacks to one who leads the NFL in that category the past two seasons with 24.
He has done it despite constantly getting
extra attention and recording just one sack the
first five weeks.
I think the production has come and the
stats have come to where everybody else recognizes what hes been doing, but to me hes
been really good, coach Jack Del Rio said.
Khalil is a rare combination because hes a
supremely gifted athlete, but hes got terrific
work ethic. This guy comes out and busts it
every day for us. Hes a great teammate. Hes
humble. He can bring it and he brings it every
day. Thats why I had the confidence I had that
someday the numbers would come.

Bears Barkley gets chance for Kelly says he has no

second start against old coach interest in Oregon job
LAKE FOREST, Ill. Matt Barkley is hoping to prove San Francisco 49ers coach Chip
Kelly knew what he was doing in the 2013
draft.
Barkley never started for Kelly in
Philadelphia in 2013-14, and made his first
NFL start last Sunday for the Bears as injured
Jay Cutlers replacement. He faces Kellys
49ers on Sunday at Soldier Field after he once
seemed a misfit for the Eagles.
I wasnt too sure what he was thinking
right when I got drafted, Barkley said of
Kelly.
Barkley completed 28 of 54 throws for 316
yards and three touchdowns Sunday in a 27-21
loss to Tennessee, and had to wait four years
after Kelly selected him to make his first start.
Barkley once had been considered firstround draft material, but eventually went in the
fourth round. Not being especially mobile,
Barkley wasnt regarded as a good fit for
Kellys offense.
I knew he had seen me play and I had put up
good games my junior and senior year when I
had played him at Oregon, Barkley said. So
I knew he saw something in me.
Wasnt too sure about the offense and all
that, but realizing once I got there that he really wants to get the ball to the running back
whenever he can, and its just like any other
offense.
Barkley led a second-half comeback that
failed following a dropped pass by Josh
Bellamy in the end zone. Barkley called a loss
in his first start a minor stumbling block after
what seemed a winding road to making any
starts.
I dont like to look at it as difficult,
Barkley said. More so (its) just a time to
grow and to learn as an NFL quarterback.
I got the chance to learn Chips offense and
a new offense that I now have in my back
pocket as just more knowledge as a quarterback.
Traded to the Arizona Cardinals for a seventh-round pick in 2015, Barkley never
played in place of Carson Palmer and was cut
this year. The Bears signed him in September
To learn from guys like Carson and to be
with Nick Foles, just guys who helped me
grow as a player, Im not complaining that
now is the time, Barkley said. Just soaking
it up.
Barkley found more than a strong performance in a losing effort with Sundays loss.
I think just the fight and the resilience of
the team at the end and how they didnt give up

ORLANDO, Fla. San Francisco 49ers head

coach Chip Kelly said Wednesday that he has
no interest in the Oregon Ducks coaching job
and has not spoken to anyone associated with

Kelly was head coach at
Oregon from 2009 to
2012, compiling a 46-7
record. He won at least a
share of the conference
title every season he was
head coach and led the
Ducks to the 2011 BCS
national championship
Chip Kelly
game, where they lost to
Auburn.
Oregon fired Kellys successor , Mark
Helfrich, on Tuesday after four seasons and a
37-16 record. The Ducks went 4-8 this season,
their first losing season since 2004.

Kelly said he spoke to Helfrich on
Wednesday morning to offer support.
I just felt bad for Mark, I love him like a
brother, Kelly said. Hes a tremendous person. He is a hell of a football coach but hes
even a better person. So I just felt for him and
the rest of the guys on that staff. Its an unfortunate thing that goes on in this profession,
we all know when we sign up for it, but when it
happens youre still kind of taken aback by it.
When asked if he was still happy in San
Francisco, Kelly simply said, Yep.
Kelly said no one from Oregon has contacted
him about the job or asked for his input on hiring a new coach.
I have not spoken to anybody at Oregon
except for Mark Helfrich, Kelly said. I love
everybody associated with the university, they
were fantastic. But my thoughts are with
(Helfrich) right now.

still a chance, we still got this, Barkley said.
That was really cool to see even after the
game, that guys fought.
Whether there is a future for Barkley in
Chicago is open to debate. Cutlers status is
uncertain at best.
With Brian Hoyer and Connor Shaw injured
and out for the year, the entire Bears quarterback situation looks open. Barkley hopes to
keep impressing after he did so last week.
There was a couple plays there that we could
have executed better, but for the most part I
think he was really good on the sideline, really good with the coaches and his teammates,
Bears coach John Fox said. He never blinked.
He even handled even some negative
things early on.
Two interceptions preceded Barkleys three
touchdown passes.
The Bears on Tuesday added another target
for Barkley after a week when receivers
dropped 10 passes. Seventh-round draft pick
Daniel Braverman, who has a reputation for
sure hands, already has a rapport with Barkley
after the two worked the scout team offense.
Hes in and out of breaks, hes really quick,
getting separation, Barkley said. Hes a little smaller target, but I think he plays big. And
how hes able to catch the ball, hes got solid
hands.
But I think especially coming from the
slot, whether its working a nickel or even
some of the base backers that well get this
week, he can make guys miss.

the talks, which began during spring training. This is the
third straight time the sides reached a new agreement before
expiration, but a deal was struck eight weeks in advance of
expiration in 2006 and three weeks ahead of expiration in
2011.
Talks took place at a hotel outside Dallas where the players association held its annual executive board meeting.
Tony Clark, the first former player to serve as executive
director of the union, and others set up in a meeting room
within earshot of a childrens choir practicing Christmas
carols. A man dressed as Santa Claus waited nearby.
While there were no games to be lost at this point, baseball had faced the prospect of a hold on transactions and
other offseason business only hours after the Mets finalized
their $110 million, four-year contract for Yoenis Cespedes.
Baseball had eight work stoppages from 1972-95, the last
a 7 1/2-month strike in 1994-95 that led to the first cancellation of the World Series in 90 years. The 2002 agreement
was reached after players authorized a strike and about 3 1/2
hours before the first game that would have been impacted
by a walkout.
The peace in baseball is in contrast to the recent labor histories of other major sports. The NFL had a preseason lockout in 2011, the NBA lost 240 games to a lockout that same
year and the NHL lost 510 games to a lockout in 2012-13.

LOS ANGELES Former champions Georges St. Pierre, Cain

Velasquez and T.J. Dillashaw are taking on the UFC in an attempt
to form a mixed martial arts fighters association.
Current UFC fighters Donald Cowboy Cerrone and Tim
Kennedy also announced their participation Wednesday in an
organizing effort led by the five fighters and advised by Bjorn
Rebney, the former CEO of Bellator.
The fighters hope to persuade the rest of the UFCs talent to
join them in unified negotiation for a greater percentage of revenue from the UFC. The promotion was sold to the WME-IMG
entertainment conglomerate earlier this year for roughly $4 billion, an unprecedented price for a sports property.
This is a different kind of fight, St. Pierre said. Even though
youre afraid, its time to step up and do the right thing. Its a
PANTHERS
On the front line, Harames may have found another keeper
in senior post player Michael Adams. It was his work down
on the block, coupled with Ferraris sharpshooting, that got
the Panthers back in the game. Adams appeared to be the
only post player who was looking for his shot as he scored
10 of his 14 points in the fourth quarter. He also pulled down
six rebounds and blocked a pair of shot.
Last year, he was ineligible to play early after a transfer
(from Serra), Harames said. He didnt play much.
Jack Baker also had a solid game in the post, scoring eight
points and grabbing six rebounds as well and dishing out
four assists.
Carlo Lopiccolo, only a couple weeks removed as starting
quarterback for the Panthers football team, did not record a
point for Burlingame. But the tenacity, energy and aggressiveness he brought to the defense end helped spark the
Panthers second-half rally. Lopiccolo was constantly getting in the passing lanes and pestering the Monta Vista
guards, harassing them into a number of turnovers or bad
fight (between) what is right and what is wrong, and we should

never be afraid to stand for the virtues, to stand for what is right.
The Mixed Martial Arts Athletes Association is the latest
attempt to organize fighters in a famously individualistic sport
into a collective bargaining unit. Kennedy, St. Pierre and Rebney
all spoke passionately about the need to level the playing field
between the UFC and its fighters, who are independent contractors.
These athletes are risking more for less than any professional athletes on earth, Rebney said. They are paid pennies on the
dollar.
Rebney also described the UFC as an egregious, predatory
monopoly and vowed to secure an unspecified set of benefits for
former UFC fighters as part of a settlement for the promotions
past revenue-sharing practices, in addition to improved conditions for current fighters.
passes that the Panthers used to their advantage.
Its going to be hard to keep him on the bench, Harames
said. His energy is great. I think it changed the game.
Burlingame scored the rst two buckets of the third quarter
to cut a 34-25 halftime decit to 34-29, but the Matadors
responded with seven unanswered to boost their lead to the
biggest of the night, 41-29 with 5:46 left in the third.
But the combination of Ferrari nding the range again,
Lopiccolo hounding the Matadors on the defensive end, and
just enough production from Baker and Adams saw
Burlingame shut down Monta Vista the rest of the way. The
Matadors managed only three eld goals over the nal 11plus minutes of the game including their only eld goal of
the fourth quarter coming with nine seconds left in the game.
It was a far cry from the rst half that saw Monta Vista,
rst, staying in the game with its 3-point shooting. In the
second quarter, it was the Matadors buckets off penetration
that gave the Panthers ts.
Burlingame played its part as well, suddenly going cold
from the eld in the second quarter as it managed only four
points after a 21-point rst quarter.
In the second half, however, the Panthers found their
rhythm as they outscored the Matadors 34-16 over the nal
two quarters.
[We] adjusted well, Harames said.

Sharks 4, Kings 1
LOS ANGELES Logan Couture

had two goals and an assist, Ryan
Carpenter scored his first NHL goal
and the San Jose Sharks extended
their recent mastery over the Los
Angeles Kings with a 4-1 victory
Wednesday night.
Kevin Labanc also scored and
Martin Jones made 26 saves against
his former team in the Pacific
Division-leading Sharks fifth win
in six games. Couture and Carpenter
scored 30 seconds apart in the final
minute of the first period, and Los
Angeles couldnt recover from that
defensive lapse.
Dustin Brown scored for the
Kings, whose five-game winning
streak ended with another frustrating
night against their upstate rivals.
The Sharks won at Staples Center
for the sixth consecutive time,
including three playoff victories
last spring. San Jose ousted the
Kings in the first round on the way
to the Stanley Cup Final, and the
Sharks control over their oldest
rival has continued this fall with
two regular season victories.

Logan Couture last year after
their
playoff
series ended, added an empty-net
goal. He has only two multipoint
games this year and both were
against the Kings.
After Labanc converted Coutures
pass on a 2-on-1 break to open the
scoring, Couture got his team-leading eighth goal in the final minute
of the Sharks three-goal first period.
Carpenter, an AHL All-Star last
season while leading San Joses top
affiliate in scoring, found the net in
his fourth NHL game over two seasons. Joel Ward had two assists in
the sequence for the Sharks.

when it comes to being successful on the
PP&K circuit. There is an accuracy element
added to sheer distance, so participants need
to be not only long, but accurate.
Similar to long-drive golf competition,
there is a long vertical line that extends
straight out from where the athletes line up.
The pass or kick needs to land as close to
that center line as possible because any
variance is subtracted from the distance. For
example, if a kick goes 100 feet, but is 30
feet off center, 30 is subtracted from 100 for
a score of 70.
If that wasnt enough pressure, get this:
you get one shot at it.
You get only one kick, one punt, one
throw, Loos said. You have to be really

Gardening offers payback at the holidays in form of gifts

By Dean Fosdick
Gardeners make good friends, especially during the holidays when they
give out foods preserved from their
gardens.
The top five canning recipes used
during the holidays are for applesauce,
cranberry sauce, jalapeno jelly, apple
pie filling and sauerkraut, according to
a recent survey by Jarden Home
Brands, makers of Ball-brand mason
jars.
There appears to be a distinctive second season for food preservation a
spike from late November into
December made by canners who want
to share homemade gifts in jars.
Many consumers can syrups, jellies
and sauces to give away as holiday
gifts, along with crafting and decor use
for the holidays, said Jeff Marvel, a
Jarden spokesman.
The jars themselves can be collectors items, and serving accessories on
tables or sideboards.
People prefer to see the vibrant colors of their fresh-packed tomatoes or

peaches in clear glass, said Judy
Harrold, Jardens Consumer Affairs
manager. Things like granola and
layered cooking mixes tend to look
better in colored jars. The same goes
for non-food items like candles, potpourri, bath salts and collectibles.
Gardeners holiday gifts are driven in
part by the kinds of edibles harvested
late in the growing season, and in part
by traditional holiday menus.
Younger canners are using ingredients from all over, Harrold said. They
rely more on farmers markets than
they do backyard gardens for their produce. And they only go to the grocery
store when they dont have an ingredient to fit into their recipes, she said.
All of the food preservation techniques canning, freezing, dehydrating, fermenting and cold storage
delay or stop spoilage while sealing in
flavor and nutritional value. But home
canners must use the proper techniques
so they dont pass along any food-
borne illnesses.
Under-processing canned goods
could lead to bacteria in the food without any outward signs of spoilage, said
Elizabeth Andress, a University of
Georgia food safety specialist.
Gift giving is not a good time to
experiment or try new procedures,
Andress said. If youre talking canning, dont experiment with anything
in the low-acid realm at all. That
would include meats and vegetables.
Also, ensure that the jars you use are
meant for canning.
Some jars are intended for non-canning purposes, like crafts, and cant
withstand the heat or temperature
changes of the canning process,
Andress said.
Be descriptive with jar labels. You
can make your own or find labels made
to order online.
In addition to letting the receiver
know exactly what the food is by listing the ingredients on the label, its a All of the food preservation techniques canning, freezing,

Candles and candy help a homes holiday switch

tial sources of consternation, though questions remain over the degree of influence
her policies may have in local classrooms.
Its a shame we are going to see someone appointed who is not a supporter of
public schools, said Eric Heins, president
of the California Teachers Association.
She has no understanding of how the system works, other than trying to destroy it.
DeVos has been a staunch supporter of the
Republican Party in her native Michigan,
where she established a reputation as a
committed fighter for the merits of charter
schools and voucher programs designed to
pull students from public schools and sent
them to private institutions. She is also
married to Dick DeVos, an heir to the
Amway fortune who repeatedly ran for the
governors seat in Michigan.
Betsy DeVos is a brilliant and passionate education advocate, said Trump,
in a prepared statement following her
appointment last week. Under her leadership we will reform the U. S. education
system and break the bureaucracy that is
holding our children back so that we can
deliver world-class education and school
of candles and see-through glass; and say

no to stripes.
This way, youll end up with items that
are usable beyond the season, easily

choice to all families.

Immediately following announcement of
her candidacy, the California Charter
Schools Association expressed their appreciation for the selection.
Mrs. DeVos has long demonstrated a
commitment to providing families with
improved public school options and we
look forward to working with the administration on proposals allowing all students
in California to access their right to a high
quality public education, according to the
prepared statement.
Alternatively, the positions supported
by DeVos impair the opportunities for children who need the most support, said
Heins, whose organization is headquartered
in Burlingame.
The policy they are pushing is anti-public schools, he said. Their policies will
harm children and often the most vulnerable. For those reasons alone we would
oppose her or anyone like her.
The appointment of DeVos is subject to
Senate confirmation.
Ted Lempert, president of education advocacy group Children Now, said the potential appointment of DeVos gave him pause
as well, especially regarding her opposition of Common Core standards.
That is pretty troubling, said Lempert,
who is also a member of the San Mateo
County Board of Education. Its bad
enough that Trump and some of the

Republicans have talked about it on the
campaign trail, but for the incoming education secretary to opposed updated standards, it is a real cause for concern.
Common Core, which focuses on development of soft skills such as collaboration
and analysis in tandem with traditional curriculum instruction, was implemented at the
state level across the nation.
There was no federal mandate to adopt the
Common Core but in recent years some education reform advocates such as DeVos have
taken aim at the standards, to the chagrin of
Lempert.
For her to come out so strongly against
it sends a really bad message, he said. It
is politicizing an issue we should be
depoliticizing.
Previously, Lemperts organization commissioned a survey finding public support
for the new standards was adversely affected
by the stigma surrounding Common Core.
Positive feedback jumped significantly
when the name of the new standards was
dropped from the poll question, and participants were merely asked whether they support school curriculum focusing on central
themes of critical thinking and analytical
problem solving.
Lempert said he found some solace in
knowing the federal government would be
offered limited power in affecting the ways
individual states can implement Common

Core, but noted the optics of an opponent
to the system being offered a job in the
presidents Cabinet is disappointing.
The frustration is someone being nominated to such an important education post
playing into those politics, he said. The
good news is, despite the rhetoric,
Common Core was never a federal government effort.
Heins agreed a portion of his frustration
with the appointment is measured against
the ability of state officials to continue
pushing local initiatives ahead as they best
see fit.
In California we are going to continue to
do what we do best and we will do it the
California way, he said.
San Mateo County Superintendent Anne
Campbell said as the Trump presidency
begins to take hold, she wishes those
appointed to his Cabinet to work alongside
state and local officials to assure students
are granted the best opportunities.
I fervently hope this emphasis on continuous improvement will also be embraced
by the U.S. Department of Education as the
new administration comes on board, she
said, in an email. I trust they share
Californias commitment to supporting
student achievement and ensuring equal
access to rigorous academics for each and
every student.

TRAIN
congressional approval of the 2017 budget.
Its a good indication that the FTA wants
to move forward with funding the project,
that theyve already made those decisions in
the
past,
said
Caltrain
Chief
Communications Officer Seamus Murphy.
Its such a critical project to improving congestion and expanding mobility options
around the region at a time when we need it
most. We are confident that the FTA and the
administration have recognized that.
Before its grant application is complete,
the board must take several steps, including
assuring the FTA that Caltrain is financially
solvent. On Thursday, the board will consider authorizing a $647 million agreement
with the FTA, commit to being in a state of
good repair through at least 2035, and take
out up to $150 million in private loans to
cover interim expenses.
With these final steps approved, the ball
will then be in the FTAs court as it finishes
processing Caltrains grant application. The
FTA previously indicated it will recommend
POT
and local governments could eventually
collect over $1 billion annually from the
production and sale of legal pot.
Just how big a job that will be, no one
knows.
The state has no reliable way to predict
how many new retailers will enter the marketplace when marijuana becomes legal in
2018. Its estimated there could be 25,000
cultivators who will have to register and
begin paying taxes.
But its only a guess how many operations making money off the fragrant, sticky
buds will try to remain hidden in the black
market.
Its just going to be the wild, wild West
out there, predicted Jerome Horton, who
sits on the states tax-collecting Board of
Equalization.
The panel on Tuesday started framing its
job, approving on a divided vote a proposal
to request funds to begin gradually adding
staff in anticipation of collecting taxes

approval, but it must first provide congressional representatives with a 30-day notice
before executing the multi-year grant.
Furthermore, it will be up to Congress each
year whether to approve the allocations as
part of its annual budgetary cycle, according
to Caltrain and the FTA.
The money would be distributed over the
course of up to six years and Caltrain is looking to take out up to a $150 million loan
from a J.P. Morgan affiliate to cover costs
should there be a gap.
In February, the FTA announced the Obama
administration expressed support for electrification suggesting $125 million be allocated this next fiscal year a move demonstrating the FTAs support for the project,
according to an FTA official. However, it is
not until the construction grant is awarded
that a firm funding commitment is made by
FTA.
The presidents proposed budget is merely
a suggestion and there will soon be a new
leader in the White House. Regardless,
Murphy and the FTA official remained confident that the shakeup in the nations Capitol
wouldnt derail Caltrains plans.
We h av en t h eard an y i n di cat i o n s
t h at t h ere are an y p l an s t o reduce t h i s
k i n d o f fun di n g as p art o f a n ew admi n -
i s t rat i o n , Murp h y s ai d.
Striving to stay on schedule, Caltrain hired
contractors earlier this year to finalize
design plans and has until March 2017 to
assemble all of its funding and give the green
light for construction, according to Murphy.
Crews recently began preconstruction
work, such as testing soil and locating utilities, in anticipation of proceeding with construction in mid-2017, according to
Caltrain.
The project has been touted as a vast
improvement both in terms of capacity
and environmental benefits as compared
to its current diesel fleet. Electrification is
also necessary if the Peninsula tracks are to
one day be shared by the controversial highspeed rail project.
The California High-Speed Rail Authority
is slated to contribute $713 million toward
electrification and is in the process of conducting its own review of the environmental
impacts of sharing the tracks between San
Jose and San Francisco.
The Community Coalition on High-Speed
Rail has long opposed Caltrains electrification being tied to funding from the voterapproved bonds slated for the states bullet
train. In a letter to the Caltrain board, the
coalition urged it not to take action on the
loan or grant Thursday, noting there are no

guarantees either state or federal funding will
materialize.
Please take the time to make decisions
based on real facts, not on hopes and expectations that may not turn out to be valid,
coalition President Jerry Carlson wrote to
the Caltrain board.
Supporters of electrification have urged
modernization of the rail is critical to meeting increasing demands and alleviating congestion.
Commuter traffic is growing at a rapid
pace between major employment centers in
San Francisco, San Jose and along the San
Francisco Peninsula, according to the FTAs
project description. Caltrain is a commute
alternative to the heavily congested
[Highway] 101 and Interstate 280 corridors
that connect downtown San Francisco,
which contains over 100 million square feet
of office space and housing for 280,000 Bay
Area employees, and Silicon Valley, which
has the largest concentration of high-tech
companies in the world.
from the legal sale and cultivation of marijuana.

The boards action came three weeks after
voters approved Proposition 64, which
legalized the recreational use of marijuana
in the nations most populous state.
A draft report made an early estimate of
new jobs that would be needed to police the
market and make sure everyone is paying
up: by 2021, 114 positions and nearly $20
million in funding. But with so many
unknowns, several board members
acknowledged those figures would likely
need to be updated within months.
Horton, at the meeting in Culver City,
California, called the projections grossly
understated.
Board member Diane Harkey alluded to the
challenges of taking what has been largely
an illegal marketplace and moving it under
state government. Nobody knows how
this is really going to work, she said.
California was the first state to embrace
legal, medicinal marijuana two decades ago,
and the board estimates there are 1,700 dispensaries operating in the state.
The California vote on Nov. 8 represented
the national legalization movements
biggest victory to date and sets the stage for
a sweeping transformation. The new law

attempts, at least in theory, to tame a market that now ranges from legal, medicinal
production and sales to vast illegal grows
operated by drug cartels.
In general, the state will treat cannabis
like it does alcohol. Taking effect in 2018,
the law allows people 21 and older to legally possess up to an ounce of pot and grow
six marijuana plants at home. It also allows
cities and counties to impose their own regulations and taxes on recreational marijuana.
Proposition 64s approval comes with
two new state taxes on legal weed:
Consumers will pay a 15 percent excise tax
on the retail selling price, which applies to
recreational and medical marijuana.
Separately, a cultivation tax will be
imposed on all harvested marijuana that
enters the commercial market. Local governments can also take a bite, and dozens of
communities are ready to impose new levies
and regulations.
With pot-growing long a growth industry
for criminal gangs and cartels, there are
fears about possible violence against tax
inspectors or investigators who go looking
for hidden grows.
Meanwhile, with pot remaining illegal on

the federal level, its unclear what stance the
incoming Donald Trump administration will
take with the new marketplace. California
and other weed-friendly states might be in
for trouble: Trumps pick for attorney general, Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions, has called
marijuana a danger that should not be legalized.
Twenty-eight states and Washington,
D.C., allow marijuana for medical or recreational purposes.
The prediction by state analysts of $1 billion annually in tax revenue from pot could
be an elusive target. It could be years before
kinks are worked out of the system, and it is
not known how much of the robust illegal
market will come under the legal umbrella.
New positions could range from inspectors who would visit growing sites and pot
shops, investigators who would probe possible felony crimes and auditors to check
the books.
New systems need to be designed. Because
marijuana is illegal on the federal level, the
staff report said tax payments from marijuana-related businesses must be made in cash.
The agency is researching how that could be
done on such a large scale.

a.m. Thursday, Dec. 1, at 1250 San Carlos

BEACH
the state agency may for the first time
in its 78-year history consider using
condemnation to defend the publics
interest in accessing the coast.
Nestled in a secluded cove just south
of Half Moon Bay, the contended crescent-shaped propertys gates have
been under the control of venture capitalist Vinod Khosla since he bought
the 89-acre site for $32.5 million in
2008.
A few years later, the public was
shuttered from the beach that was once
accessible for a parking fee for nearly
a century. The closure prompted two
ongoing lawsuits filed by advocates,
followed by 2014 legislation requiring
the SLC to negotiate for access. In
September, Khosla filed a suit alleging
the state and county were infringing
upon his private property rights.
The SLC will meet Tuesday and the
public is encouraged to offer input
before officials decide in closed session whether to proceed with attempts
to reopen Martins Beach to the public.
For many involved on either side of
the debate, the issue has risen above
this particular property as many predict the results could set a precedent on
whether private property rights should
trump the publics rights to access
Californias beloved coast.
Ill be there on Tuesday to testify
and advocate for public access at
Martins Beach, said state Sen. Jerry
Hill, D-San Mateo, who crafted legislation requiring the SLC to negotiate
with Khosla. I think its important
that the commission hears from the
public about how important beach
access is not just at Martins Beach, but
throughout California.
The SLC spent two years attempting
to negotiate with Martins Beach LLCs
to buy an easement overlaying the
existing Martins Beach Road a
paved access route winding through
fields and a bevy of hillside homes
down to the publicly-owned tidelands.
But efforts have stalled as the property owner is ardently opposed to willingly sell the 6.4-acre easement and
has opined an access route alone is
worth $30 million, according to a
report prepared by SLC Executive
Officer Jennifer Lucchesi.
Instead, after SLC officials met with
Khosla and his attorneys at his Menlo
Park Khosla Ventures headquarters, he
offered two options. Either the state
should purchase the entire property at
fair market value, or he would be willing to reopen the beach for a certain
number of days based on a self-reported logbook from 2008, according to
Lucchesi.
However, staff does not believe
was willing to restore access under

specific terms. The prior owners operComment on
ated it as a business by charging for
or share this story at
www.smdailyjournal.com parking, and Yob indicated they have
reopening the property contingent on
the incomplete logbook would satisfy
the intent of Hills legislation that
prompted negotiations, according to
Lucchesi.
State options
To break the stalemate, the SLC
comprised of Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom,
State Controller Betty Yee and state
Finance Director Michael Cohen
will meet Tuesday to consider how, or
perhaps even whether, to proceed.
Their options could range from
doing nothing, requesting more information while deferring action, or
beginning the process of eminent
domain which requires litigation
and would be discussed during a closed
session later in the meeting.
The public will have an opportunity
to share input before the commission
deliberates and its not yet clear
whether officials will publicly
announce what route they decided to
take.
Outside of being extremely controversial, there is one prime holdup to
eminent domain the SLC doesnt
have the money. An existing fund set
aside for land acquisitions has about
$6 million and could have been tapped
for a negotiated settlement. However,
that money cannot be used for condemnation and is meant to cover needs
throughout the entire state.
Financing eminent domain could
include the governor allocating money
in the budget or the Legislature
approving funds. Hill said he plans to
discuss crafting new legislation on
Monday in anticipation of whether the
SLC decides to move the ball forward.
I think Mr. Khosla has indicated a
total disregard for the system and the
rights of Californians to enjoy their
public beaches and I think that will not
resonate well with my colleagues in
Sacramento; and the continuous legal
challenges, especially with the most
recent lawsuit [he filed] against everyone in government, Hill said.
Private property rights

In late September, the tech investor
filed a lawsuit in federal court against
the SLC, the California Coastal
Commission and San Mateo County
alleging his constitutional rights
specifically related to private property
rights were violated.
The suit asks a federal judge to
declare the SLCs legislatively-established authority to use condemnation
be found unconstitutional, according
to the lawsuit.
Dori Yob, an attorney representing
Martins Beach LLCs, noted Khosla
been willing to reopen it on days when

historical demand exceeded 10 cars.
She described the demand for access as
limited, but that Khosla has offered to
increase education and programs related to restoration and preservation of
species, Yob wrote in an email. Khosla
has also offered to sell the entire property at fair market value, she wrote.
Yob sent a link to a blog post regarding the matter, in which she said the
case is misunderstood and fundamentally about the right to close a business or charge for parking on private
property.
The controversy around Martins
Beach involves important property
rights that only the courts can decide.
Its unfortunate that government agencies have refused to acknowledge the
owners fundamental property rights
resulting in controversy and litigation
and precluding any meaningful dialogue between the owners and the larger community. The United States is
about rule of law, not populism, or
press or what we wish was the law,
Yob wrote.

With Khoslas well-known assets

and financial abilities, many have predicted his attorneys are ready to potentially take the cases all the way to the
U.S. Supreme Court.
The advocacy group the Friends of
Martins Beach and the nonprofit
Surfrider Foundation filed separate
suits against Khosla which have made
their way to state appellate court.
The SLC maintains it has the power
to use eminent domain in the interests
of protecting the publics rights but
ultimately, it could be up to a judge as
the matter requires litigation with the
attorney general representing the
state.
The SLC has never actually flexed its
authority to take private property and
its unlikely to go down that route
lightly. After hearing from the public
in Sacramento Tuesday, the commission will meet in closed session to discuss either taking a landmark step
toward eminent domain, or only focus
on defending against Khoslas suit.
Ideally for me and I believe for the
people of California, the State Lands
Commission should move forward
with eminent domain proceedings. At
least start the ball rolling [and] continue to try and reach some type of settlement if possible, Hill said, noting
Martins Beach could be detriment in
other cases. It could set a bad precedent that others can violate the
California constitution.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
Belle S.K. Taylor also known as Belle

Case Number: 16PRO00549
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of Belle S.K. Taylor also
known as Belle Skinner Kilborne Taylor.
A Petition for Probate has been filed by
Peter M. Folger, Edward S. Rowland and
Bradley R. Cook in the Superior Court of
California, County of San Mateo. The
Petition for Probate requests that Peter
M. Folger, Edward S. Rowland and Bradley R. Cook 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 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: January 13, 2017 at
9:00 a.m., Department 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
Calilfornia Probate Code, or (2) 60 days
from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under sectioin
9052 of the Callifornia Probate
Code.Other California statutes and legal
authority may affect your rights as a
creditor. You may want to consult with an
attorney knowledgable 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.
