Barack Obama, Michelle Obama and their daughter Sasha return from their vacation in Hawaii.
Obama is also planning last-minute commutations and pardons, White House officials said, in line with his second-term effort
to cut sentences for inmates given unduly
harsh sentences for drug crimes. Though
prominent offenders like Edward Snowden
and Rod Blagojevich are also asking for
leniency, Obamas final acts of clemency are
expected to remain focused on drug offenders
whose plight Obama tried but failed to
address through criminal justice reform.
After taking office eight years ago, Obama
and his aides were effusive in their praise for
how Obamas predecessor, George W. Bush,
helped his team take over the massive federal
bureaucracy. Obama has vowed to pass on the
favor to Trump. But the transition hasnt
been without incident.
The two teams have clashed over the Trump
teams requests for information Obama aides
fear could be used to eliminate government
employees who worked on Obama priorities
like climate change and minority rights
overseas. Trumps team, meanwhile, has
been frustrated by Obamas attempts to box
Trump in with parting moves to block ocean
drilling, declare new monuments and further
empty out the Guantanamo Bay prison.
While on his annual vacation in Oahu,
Obama asserted himself forcefully on two
foreign policy issues that put him in direct
conflict with Trump. Obama directed the U.S.
to defy tradition by allowing a U.N. Security
Council resolution criticizing Israel on settlements to pass, then slapped Russia with
sweeping penalties over U.S. allegations of
hacking.
NATION
BY THE NUMBERS
Vice President Joe Biden, in one of his final official acts,
will administer the oath to 27 returning senators and
seven new ones. Republicans will have a 52-48
advantage in the Senate, which remains predominantly
a bastion of white men.
There will be 21 women, of whom 16 are Democrats
and five, Republicans; three African Americans, including
Californias new Democratic senator Kamala Harris, and
four Hispanics, including Nevadas new Democratic
senator Catherine Cortez Masto.
Across the Capitol, the House is expected to re-elect
Rep. Paul Ryan as Speaker, with all the campaign-season
recriminations involving the Wisconsin Republican and
Trump largely erased by GOP wins. Once sworn in, Ryan
will then administer the oath to the House members.
The GOP will hold a hefty 241-194 majority in the House,
including 52 freshmen 27 Republicans, including
Wyomings Liz Cheney, daughter of former Vice
President Dick Cheney, and 25 Democrats.

WORLD
ISSUES
Continued from page 1
A day doesnt go by where I dont get a
handful of calls or emails or whenever Im
meeting with the public, when transportation or housing doesnt come up, Hill said.
But we need resources and revenue.
When voters nudged Democrats back to a
supermajority in Sacramento, Mullin and
Hill said theyre hopeful 2017 could bring
progress on problems manifesting across
the state.
Housing and transportation are central
challenges for San Mateo County and they
have now elevated to a statewide concern and
our leadership has made these two issues our
top priority, said Mullin, who also serves
as Assembly speaker pro tem.
But many of the proposed solutions
such as increasing the gas tax while adding a
surcharge for electric vehicles, as well as
doing away with tax breaks for owners of
vacation homes require a supermajority
vote that isnt guaranteed just because
Democrats are flush in both houses.
Its really a challenge because any time
youre talking about new money, its a twothirds vote and we do now have a supermajority of Democrats in both the Assembly
and Senate, but its still a difficult vote for
some of our more moderate Democrat colleagues, Mullin said, before expressing
some optimism. We are in a better position
than weve ever been having the two-thirds
majority in both houses. If youre looking at
a window to get this done, were looking at
now.
Housing California
With the legislative season just beginning to ramp up, several Bay Area lawmakers have already proposed a range of bills
covering affordable housing needs.
Mullin co-authored several bills in a
package proposed by Assemblyman David
Chiu, D-San Francisco.
To meet pent-up demand while preparing
for future growth, the state needs an estimated 3.5 million new homes by 2025,
according to a press release from Chiu.
The centerpiece of the package includes
the Bring California Home Act, which
seeks to provide an ongoing funding
source for affordable housing by eliminating tax breaks on vacation homes.
Estimated to generate $300 million a year,
the proceeds from charging those who can
afford second homes would be allocated
toward the states Low Income Housing Tax
Credit.
Anything which eliminates a tax break
is going to be controversial, so this will
be fought vigorously. But legislators in
the Bay Area have a responsibility to put
some policy in place to encourage the
development of affordable housing,
Mullin said.
Hill and Mullin noted earlier attempts to
create new funding sources as a way to
replace Gov. Jerry Browns dissolution of
redevelopment agencies have stalled. Both
noted the two-thirds majority, which
Democrats lost in 2014, is no guarantee.
Other efforts in the pipeline this year
include legislation by newly elected state
Sen. Scott Weiner, D-San Francisco, who
also represents the northern portion of San
Mateo County.

questions, but did anyone expect anything
less? Besides, many of the questions he twostepped around have nothing to do with the
team going forward. For instance, he was
asked if he regretted ring Harbaugh. At this
point, who cares? Yes, he regrets it. Hes not
going to admit it.
There was apparently a blatant lack of
communication between the GM and the head
coach. York reiterated over and over again that
the new GM-coach tandem would have to work
closely with one another. It seems there was
very little rapport between Baalke and Kelly,
as reports came out Monday saying Baalke
didnt even know some of the assistant coaches names, and he signed a player without
even telling Kelly. York referenced the fact
that Baalke was a defense-rst football guy
and Kelly more offensive minded. It became
clear those two philosophies never found a
common ground and even York could see that.
Developing a winning culture. This
may be Yorks fatal aw and the reason he
may never get the 49ers right. He kept using
the phrase rebuilding a winning culture and
variations of that theme. The main culture
the 49ers have had under the York ownership
is a losing one, save for the four years with
Harbaugh. There is no rebuilding of a winning culture if youve never had one.
The 49ers used to have a championship culture when owned by Eddie DeBartolo Jr. and
therein lies the rub for York. The general consensus among many who follow the team
closely is York wants to do this on his own,
his own way. He doesnt want to lean on the
teams and the players of the past because he
wants to build his own name in the NFL world
and not always be known as Eddie Ds nephew.
So with everyone clamoring about bringing in Steve Young as a GM or building a
committee with the likes of Mike Holmgren
and Mike Shanahan, York would rather base
his decisions on the contacts that he himself
has created through the years.

the development of homes, offices and commercial space creates a need for housing,

created between 2010 and 2014 in San

Brownrigg suggested encouraging residential development along Rollins Road or

Lance Fung Gallery.
Fung became known for his foresight in showcasing installation and
video art and his sense for curating
smaller group art shows that facilitated
conversations between different pieces
of art. His approach caught the attention of the 2006 Winter Olympics
organizing committee, which brought
Fung on to curate a special exhibition
of The Snow Show, a series of exhibitions Fung had shown previously in
Finland. The 2006 Olympics Snow
Show featured six art installations
made from snow, including a snow
dial and geometric sledding chutes, in
the Olympic village in Torino, Italy.
Fungs participation in the Olympic
Snow Show solidified his role in the
public art world.
I went from art dealer to art curator,
he said of his transition from directing
his own art gallery to working on more
collaborative projects that have produced installations in public spaces.
Most of Fungs collaborative work has
been done in the name of Fung
Collaboratives, an arts organization he
developed to foster collaborative projects between artists of a variety of
backgrounds.
Artlantic was Fungs first collaborative project with Talley, as well as his
first in-depth experience with the set of
unique partnerships upon which each of
these projects rely. Atlantic City
Alliance, a nonprofit, approached Fung
to transform a 7.5-acre vacant lot that
partially lined the citys Boardwalk
into a temporary park with the goal of
reinvigorating an urban area that had
been beleaguered by the recession.
In the shape of an infinity sign, the
parks outer edges enclosed several
installation pieces that appeared in
phases over two years. Among these
pieces were a large, wooden pirate ship
created by artists Ilya and Emilia
Kabakov, and large, illuminated text
pieces set in the grassy area within the
loops of the infinity by artist Robert
Barry. Visitors were invited to climb on
the life-size ship and move the illuminated letters to create words and expressions as they walked around the park.
Within a week or two, the pirate ship
was known as the playground, said
Fung. During site visits, the couple saw
children wearing pirate costumes and
climbing aboard, and bachelorette parties stopping to take photos with the
structure.
When we heard about that, we knew
we did our job, he said.
Sparking a dialogue
To help people understand this,
Fung and Talley are partnering with
Bay Area cities and nonprofits to
spark a dialogue around public art.
They are hoping to equip average citizens, young and old, with the language to talk about art and understand
their preferences.
Fung and Talley both taught twoweek intercession classes at Design
Tech High School in Burlingame in
December, where they led high school
students through sculpture and woodworking projects, respectively.
Intercession classes allow them to
share moments from their professional experiences with students, as well
as learn more about how the public
engages with art.
You dont have to go to the lowest
common denominator to get people to
engage with the art, said Fung. If
Im teaching an art class for high
school students, I dont have to water
it down. I can teach at the college
level, and people can take what they
can from it.
According to Fung, the right piece
of art will engage any audience, and
will move the conversation beyond
whether its likable to what it means
for each viewer.
Great art takes you back to the art
again and again, he said. We like it
when a work of art is challenging. Its
meant to be thought-provoking. Id
rather get art that makes you think, I
dont like it, but why dont I like it?
than something that makes you walk
away.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
Glenn A. Phinney
Case Number: 16PRO00608
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of Glenn A. Phinney, aka
Glenn Alton Phinney. A Petition for Probate has been filed by Megan Dale in
the Superior Court of California, County
of San Mateo. The Petition for Probate
requests that Megan Dale 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 27, 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.

Blood stains are seen at the site of car bomb attack in a Baghdad, Iraq.
ambulances arrived. Dead bodies
were scattered across the bloody
pavement alongside fruit, vegetables and laborers shovels and
axes. A minibus filled with dead
passengers was on fire.
Asaad Hashim, an owner of a
mobile phone store nearby,
described how the laborers pushed
and shoved around the bombers
vehicle, trying to get hired.
Then a big boom came, sending them up into the air, said the
28-year old, who suffered shrapnel
wounds to his right hand. He
blamed the most ineffective secu-
tions against Daesh and to eliminate the threat this terrorist group
poses, it said, using an Arabic
acronym for IS.
Separately, the U. S. military
announced the death of a coalition
service member in Iraq in a noncombat related incident on
Monday, without providing further details.
Hollande meanwhile met with
al-Abadi and President Fuad
Masum, and later traveled to the
self-governing northern Kurdish
region to meet with French troops
and local officials. He pledged
support for helping displaced
Iraqis return to the city of Mosul,
where Iraqi forces are waging a
massive offensive against IS.
We must also prepare a political solution for Mosuls post-liberation so that its inhabitants can
live together, he said. Hollande
also visited a military outpost on
the outskirts of the city.
France is part of the Americanled coalition formed in 2014 to
fight IS after the extremist group
seized large areas in Iraq and
neighboring Syria. France has
suffered multiple attacks claimed
by the extremist group.
Since the Mosul operation started on Oct. 17, Iraqi forces have
seized around a quarter of the city.
Last week, the troops resumed
fighting after a two-week lull due
to stiff resistance by the militants
and bad weather.
Mosul is Iraqs second largest
city and the last major urban area
in the country controlled by IS.
Iraqi and U.S. commanders hope to
drive IS from the city in the next
three months.
