Electric trains get cash infusion

Feds require contingency, San Mateo County takes on more than partner agencies
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

In a quiet but hurried move, the

San Mateo County Transportation
Authority
essentially
saved
Caltrains electrification project
last week by going above and
beyond its partner agencies to
meet timely federal requirements.
The SMCTA agreed to allocate

another $135 million toward the

$2 billion project after federal
transportation officials insisted
those overseeing Caltrains modernization prove they could afford
to finish even if construction
costs increase.
The last-minute agreement highlighted the importance of San
Mateo County having a locallycontrolled sales tax that generates

money set aside for transportation

projects a particularly poignant
mechanism since the states gas
tax revenue took a nosedive and
its funding pot proved unreliable.
Electrifying the Peninsulas rail
system is a joint partnership
amongst transit agencies in San
Mateo, Santa Clara and San
Francisco counties, as well as the
Metropolitan
Transportation

Commission, or MTC. The project

is currently banking on a $647
million grant from the Federal
Transportation Administration
that officials hope will be confirmed in the coming months.
As part of the FTAs conditions,
Caltrain must set aside a $200 million contingency and the four
partner agencies agreed to split
the costs. But on Tuesday, the FTA

announced locals couldnt rely on

a state funding source thats been
plagued by deficits due to a drastic
drop in gas tax revenue, according
to a SMCTA staff report.
But the authority has access to
reliable funds through Measure A,
the locally-controlled half-cent
sales tax set aside for transporta-

Thunder Lockhart, left and Marshall Hird are rolling out their new pedicab service this month.

Ready to roll
Pedicab company launching service in Redwood City, San Carlos
By Aimee Lewis Strain
DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT

Getting around the downtown

corridors of both Redwood City
and San Carlos will become a
whole lot easier and fun too
because of two lifelong Redwood
City friends who have the green
light to run three-wheeled pedicabs on city streets.
Third Wheel Pedicab, founded by
Redwood City friends Marshall
Hird and Thunder Lockhart,
received the nod from both cities
this month and are eager to get
their sleek and customized pedicabs on the streets in early
January.
Hailing one of the four running
pedicabs will be similar to hailing

a New York City cab simply

cruising up and down Laurel Street
in San Carlos or Redwood Citys
downtown triangle. Fares will be
$5-$10 and can be paid in cash or

option.
The roaming service will allow
passengers to hail a pedicab and be
driven to a new location while sitting comfortably on a wide leather
bench that can fit three people in
one large lap belt, Lockhart said.
The pedicabs have LED lights,
safety road equipment such as
blinkers, brake lights and headlights and even boast an iPad on
each.
Hird, also a fire captain with the
Woodside Fire Department, said

that safety is paramount and the

bikes are sure to provide secure
transportation to all passengers.
The pedicabs are state-of-the-art
three-wheel bicycles with a bell
on the handlebars and a light steel
frame. The blue bikes have a white
sunshade and if passengers are
chilly, a warm blanket can be used
to make the ride more comfortable, Lockhart said.
The idea to bring this environmental transportation option to
Redwood City and San Carlos
began years ago when the men
began seeing an increase in congestion in their hometown.
We saw the streets becoming
more congested and crowded and

Following months of sluggish

growth and expected interest rate
hikes on the horizon, local real
estate professionals believe the
new year may bring a calmer home
sales market to the Peninsula.
The most recent data available
from the San Mateo County
Association of Realtors shows the
median home sale value for the
county was $1. 21 million in
November, only about $2, 000
more than it was a year prior.
Such incremental growth is
apart from the massive annual
gains shown beginning in 2011
when the median home sales

amount jumped by more than

roughly $110,000 annually until
reaching $1. 19 million in
November 2015.
Realtor Chuck Gillooley said he
believes the slow growth trend
will extend into 2017, as the exorbitant listing prices and ultracompetitive buying market will
fade away.
I think well return to a more
back-to-basics approach to selling and sellers will be more realistic so these far-fetched prices will
come back to Earth a bit, said
Gillooley, who specializes in selling San Carlos and Redwood City
properties for Dwell Realtors.

Strike by West Coast crab fishermen ends after 11 days

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

EUREKA An 11-day strike by

thousands of West Coast crab shermen has ended after a successful
negotiation of prices with seafood
processors.
The agreement reached late
Friday will restart the sputtering
season for much-sought-after
Dungeness crabs in Northern
California,
Oregon
and
Washington.
The Humboldt Fishermens
Marketing Association told
KRCR-TV in Eureka, California,
that the crabbers had settled on a
price of $2.875 per pound of crabs

with major buyer Pacic Choice

Seafood.
The processors had initially
agreed to $3 a pound in early
December, then backed off to
$2.75, which led to the strike. The
agreed-upon price is exactly
halfway between those gures.
The association says the deal
was reached in Oregon, which sets
the price for the entire Coast.
Bernie Lindley, a crab sherman
in Brookings, Oregon, said he has
mixed feelings about the price.
Happy? I dont know, Lindley
told the Curry Coastal Pilot. In a
successful negotiation, nobodys
happy and nobodys pissed. For

me, personally, I wish it wouldve

been resolved more fairly for the
shermen, but were back to work,
and so be it.
The strike left crab pots empty
in places such as Fishermans
Wharf in San Francisco during
what would normally be among
the busiest times for the craved
crustaceans.
The seasons beginning was
also slowed by the presence of
domoic acid in some parts of the
three states, which can make the
crabs unsafe to eat. And even now
it could be further slowed by a big
weekend storm approaching the
Western U.S.

Waymo self-driving minivan will start test drives this month

By Dee-Ann Durbin
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DETROIT Waymo, Googles

self-driving car division, will
start testing its new eet of minivans on public roads in California
and Arizona later this month.
The minivans, built in collaboration with Fiat Chrysler, are

Chrysler Pacica hybrids outtted

with Waymos own suite of sensors and radar. Waymo and FCA
announced their partnership in
May.
In a speech at the Detroit auto
show Sunday, CEO John Krafcik
revealed that Waymo built the sensors, radar and software for the
new minivans itself.

Krafcik said the company felt

the system would work better if it
was developed specically for
self-driving instead of using offthe-shelf parts.
A single integrated system
means that all the different parts
of a self-driving car work together
seamlessly, Krafcik said.
Waymo also was able to signi-

cantly lower the cost of the system, Krafcik said. The rooftop
lidar which uses lasers to give
the car a three-dimensional picture of the world cost $75,000
a few years ago. Waymo has
brought that cost down by 90 percent and has developed its own
short-range and long-range lidar.
Waymos long-range lidar can see

a football helmet two football

elds away.
Krafcik didnt say exactly how
Waymo lowered the costs. But the
announcement could concern suppliers like Velodyne, which
makes lidar systems used by Ford
Motor Co. and others, and Delphi
Corp., which is developing its
own autonomous driving system.

VTA seeking input on plan to integrate buses, light rail with BART

which officials said would help
the system operate more effici en t l y an d p ro v i de mo re

Currently 70 percent of VTA
funds are used to serve denser
areas of the county. The new

said.
The two-year plan would go
into effect in July and intends to
connect VTA transit with the
Milpitas and Berryessa BART
stations, increase ridership and
improve the VTA's fare box
recovery rate, officials said.
Before transportation planners
make final changes to the plan
and submit it to the Board for
final approval on April 6, the
public has been invited to com-

ment on the plan at public meetings and webinars.

Governor preps to release budget during uncertain time

By Jonathan J. Cooper
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SACRAMENTO Gov. Jerry

Brown will release a proposed
state spending plan this week
without knowing the answers to
key questions that will have a
massive effect on the states
nances.
Will California take a hit from
new federal spending priorities
under President-elect Donald
Trump? How will the stock markets respond, affecting the
incomes of wealthy taxpayers
who provide a disproportionate
share of state revenue?
Depending on the answers, the
budget proposal may be shortlived and substantially overhauled
by the time Brown issues his
required revision in May.
Browns budget, which must be
released by Tuesday under the state
constitution, will lay the groundwork for the next six months of
wrangling over how to allocate

billions of dollars in state

revenue.
Budgets are
always uncertain.
They
require the governor
and
Legislature to
predict a year
Jerry Brown in the future
how the economy will perform,
decide how much tax revenue will
be generated as a result, then
decide how to divvy up the expected money.
This year, however, is especially complicated due to Trumps
election and the changes its
expected to bring to the scal priorities in Washington.
Republicans have vowed to
repeal Obamacare, which provides $16 billion for the MediCal low-income health plan, but
its not clear when theyll do it,
what theyll replace it with and
how big the budget hit will be.

Trump has said its a priority to

cut federal funds for state or local
governments that refuse to cooperate with federal immigration
authorities. As the home to millions of immigrants living in the
country illegally, Californias
Democratic legislative leaders
have taken an aggressive stance
against assisting in deportations.
U.S. House Speaker Paul Ryan,
R-Wisconsin, has previously
pushed a federal budget that would
signicantly redesign the social
safety net, affecting billions of
dollars for state-run programs.
With Republicans in control of
the White House and Congress,
those priorities are likely to get
renewed life and closer scrutiny.
I am clear that there will be
change, said Sen. Holly
Mitchell, a Los Angeles Democrat
who chairs the Senate budget
committee. I think its premature
for us to assume what they will

attack and how deeply they will

attack it.
The Democratic governor and
his aides have said little in public
about his budget plan but have
repeatedly highlighted lowerthan-expected state revenues
along with the uncertainty posed
by Trump, stock market performance and a potential recession.
Brown is fond of repeating that
Californias economic expansion
has lasted far longer than the
average for the post-World War II
period and a slowdown is
inevitable.
We want to be careful not to
overcommit the state to levels of
spending that may not be sustainable over the long term, said
H. D. Palmer, a spokesman for
Browns Department of Finance.
Given that tone, Brown seems
likely to stick with the restrained
approach hes long favored for
new ongoing spending commitments, putting him at odds once
again with Democratic lawmakers

eager to beef up support for immigrants, schools, colleges and

social services.
Assembly Democrats released
their own budget proposal late
last year, pushing for $1 billion
in new state spending even as
they warn that Congress and the
new president could signicantly
impact
state
revenue.
Assemblyman Phil Ting, a San
Francisco Democrat who heads
the budget committee, said then
that it would be reckless for lawmakers to hoard cash waiting on
changes from Washington.
He proposed new spending on
things such as expanding the
earned-income tax credit, mandatory full-day kindergarten and
reducing college costs.
We have a social safety net
that we have slowly started to
repair from the devastating cuts of
2008, Ting said Thursday. At
this point were going to continue that. We want to make sure
thats a priority.

NOAA plans to open federal waters in Pacific to fish farming

By Caleb Jones
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

HONOLULU As traditional
commercial fishing is threatening
fish populations worldwide, U.S.
officials are working on a plan to
expand fish farming into federal
waters around the Pacific Ocean.
The government sees the move

toward aquaculture as a promising

solution to feeding a hungry planet. But some environmentalists
say the industrial-scale farms
could do more harm than good to
overall fish stocks and ocean
health.
The National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration is
creating a plan to manage com-

mercial fish farms in federal

waters, the area of ocean from three
to 200 miles offshore, around
Hawaii and other Pacific islands.
The program is similar to one
recently implemented by NOAA in
the Gulf of Mexico. The farms in
the Gulf and the Pacific would join
the few aquaculture operations in
U.S. federal waters, though there

are smaller operations in state

waters close to shore.
Fish farming has been practiced
for centuries in Hawaii and around
the world. But modern aquaculture,
some environmentalists say, carries pollution risks and the potential for non-native farmed fish to
escape and enter the natural ecosystem.

Most shellfish consumed in

America comes from farms, and
their methods are widely considered sustainable. However, some
farms that grow carnivorous fish
such as salmon have raised concerns about sustainability because
they use wild-caught fish to feed
the captive species.

Brother of airport shooting suspect says government failed him

chased.
Authorities in Alaska on
Saturday defended their
interactions with Esteban
Santiago. FBI Special Agent
in Charge Marlin Ritzman
told a news conference that
Santiago broke no laws
when he walked into the
Anchorage FBI ofce making disjointed comments
about mind control. He
characterized Santiago as a
walk-in complaint, which
he said ofces around the
country receive daily.
Anchorage police were
called to the ofce by the
agency, told Santiago he
was having terroristic
thoughts and believed he
was being inuenced by the
so-called Islamic State
group and was taken to a
mental health facility, city
Police Chief Chris Tolley
said. Santiago had left a gun
in his vehicle when he went

to the FBI ofce with his

newborn child. Police held
the gun until Santiago was
released and contacted him
about picking up the
weapon, which he did on
Dec. 8, Tolley said.
Authorities would not
conrm whether he used the
same gun Friday. There is
speculation that it is the
same gun. I have not
received conrmation that
it, in fact, is that gun,
Tolley said.

Hacking questions swirl as Trump enters critical week

By Jill Colvin
and Laurie Kellman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK Presidentelect Donald Trump and his

aides are entering a crucial
week in his presidential
transition as he and his
Cabinet nominees undergo
public questioning about
their approach to Russia and

potential conicts of interests.

Most pressing during the
upcoming days of conrmation hearings and Trumps
rst press conference in six
months likely will be
whether he accepts the conclusion of U.S. intelligence
ofcials that Russia meddled in the U.S. election to
help him win the White

House.
Trumps incoming chief
of staff, Reince Priebus,
said Sunday that Trump
indeed has accepted that
Russia was responsible for
the hacking, which targeted
the Democratic National
Committee and a top aide to
former
rival
Hillary
Clinton.
Hes not denying that

entities in Russia were

behind this particular campaign, Priebus said in a
Sunday television interview.
Thats more than Trump
himself has said. As for
potential retaliation, aides
said those are decisions that
Trump will make after he
becomes president on Jan.

The brother of a man accused

Saturday why his brother
was allowed to keep his gun
after U.S. authorities knew
he'd become increasingly
paranoid and was hearing

Esteban Santiago, 26, had

and told his brother that he
felt he was being chased and
controlled by the CIA
through secret online messages. When he told agents
at an FBI eld ofce his

evaluating him for a while,
but they didn't do anything.

Trump has taken few steps to disentangle from private empire

By Julie Bykowicz and Chad Day
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON President-elect Donald

Trump pledged to step away from his family-owned international real estate development, property management and licensing
business before taking office Jan. 20. With
less than two weeks until his inauguration,
he hasnt stepped very far.
Trump has canceled a handful of international deals and dissolved a few shell companies created for prospective investments. Still, he continues to own or control some 500 companies that make up the
Trump Organization, creating a tangle of
potential conflicts of interest without
precedent in modern U.S. history.
The president-elect is expected to give an
update on his effort to distance himself
from his business at a Wednesday news
conference. He told The Associated Press
on Friday that he would be announcing a
very simple solution.
Ethics experts have called for Trump to
sell off his assets and place his investments in a blind trust, which means something his family would not control. Thats
what previous presidents have done.
Trump has given no indication he will go
that far. He has said he will not be involved
in day-to-day company operations and will
leave that duty to his adult sons, Eric and
Donald Trump Jr. The president-elect has
not addressed the ethical minefield of
whether he would retain a financial interest
in his Trump Organization.
A look at whats known about what
Trump has and hasnt tried to resolve his
business entanglement before his swearing-in:

Foreign investments
Trump has abandoned planned business
ventures in Azerbaijan, Brazil, Georgia,
India and Argentina. The Associated Press
found he has dissolved shell companies
tied to a possible business venture in Saudi
Arabia.
Its unclear whether those moves are
signs that Trump is dismantling the web of
companies that make up his business.
Trump Organization general counsel Alan
Garten has insisted none of the closures is
related to Trumps election. He calls them
normal housecleaning.
The Trump Organization still has an
expanding reach across the globe: The
Trump International Golf Club in Dubai, in
the United Arab Emirates, is set to open
next month.
Trump has said there will be no new
deals while hes in office. But Eric Trump,
an executive vice president at the Trump
Organization, told Argentinian newspapers
last week that the company was open to
another business venture in the country.
We would like to find something, Eric
Trump told Clarin, as he toured a Trump
building construction site. Well find a
project.
The younger Trump did rule out expansion in Russia, at least any time soon.
Is there a possibility sometime in the
next 20, 30 years we end up in Russia?
Absolutely. Is it right for us right now?
Probably not, Eric Trump said, in a video
interview with La Nacion posted on the
newspapers website.
Asked about the potential for conflicts of
interest if the business continues to operate, Eric Trump compared the separation

between the Trump-led government and
Trump-led company to the separation
between church and state. These two
things will be unfailingly separate, he
said, adding, we will not share functions.

Domestic businesses
Of Trumps U.S. portfolio, no venture
has become more emblematic of the potential conflicts of interest facing Trump than
his hotel at the Old Post Office in the
nations capital. The federal government,
which he soon will oversee, holds the lease
on the building he turned into a sparkling
luxury hotel that opened shortly before
Election Day.
The terms of Trumps contract with the
government expressly prohibit elected
officials from having a financial interest in
the property. Democratic senators said the

General Services Administration told them

that the moment Trump takes office, he
would violate the terms of his contract
Neither GSA nor Trump transition officials responded to inquiries about what
steps, if any, Trump has taken with regard
to that contract provision.
Trump is still listed as a producer for the
reality TV show, Celebrity Apprentice.
He has said he will not spend time working
on the show. Financial disclosures he filed
during the campaign show his company,
Trump Productions, earned about $5.9 million from The Apprentice shows in
2015.
Trump has a considerable amount of
business debt that could put creditors in
the position of having leverage over an
enterprise with close ties to the U.S. president and his family.

GOP lawmakers vow quick action to enact new health care regulations
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Top Republicans said

Sunday theyll move quickly to enact a new
health care law, but they wont say how
long that might take or what might replace
President Barack Obamas version.
Questions surrounding the future GOP
plan have unnerved key parts of the health
care industry, including hospitals and insurers that have warned Congress against
uncertainty.
We will be replacing it rapidly after
repealing it, said Senate Majority Leader
Mitch McConnell, R-Ky. He declined to
provide a more specic timeline.
The 2010 health law, which passed without Republican votes, became a lightning
rod in U.S. politics. President-elect Donald
Trump campaigned on a promise to repeal
it. Congressional Republicans are in agree-

ment it should be replaced. But theyre at

odds over how to do it, particularly over
how to pay for popular provisions, including coverage for pre-existing conditions
and the ability for parents to keep children
on their plans until age 26.
A key GOP focus has been to do away with
the individual mandate requirement that all
Americans have insurance or pay a ne. But
absent that requirement, insurers have
warned its not nancially viable to force
them to accept people with existing medical problems.
Another concern for some GOP lawmakers
is scrapping a law thats covered 20 million
people without offering them an alternative.
GOP Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky tweeted
late Friday that he spoke with Trump and
that the president-elect fully supports a
repeal only when theres a viable substitute.

bill is expected to pass both chambers
before reaching Trump, who takes office
Jan. 20.

Choked by smog, Beijing creates new environmental police

By Nomaan Merchant
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BEIJING Officials in Beijing have

announced a new environmental police
squad to root out illegal burning in the city,
the latest government response to the widespread public anger over Chinas persistent
problems with smog.
Beijings acting mayor, Cai Qi, said at a
meeting Saturday that the force would target
open-air barbecues, garbage incineration
and the burning of wood and other biomass,
according to Chinas official Xinhua News
Agency.
Cai announced several other measures,
including a target of cutting the use of coal
by 30 percent in 2017, and shutting down
500 higher-polluting factories and upgrading 2,500 more. About 300,000 high-pollution vehicles will also be restricted from
entering the capital starting next month, he
said.
Beijing and dozens of cities in China
spend many winter days under a thick, gray
haze, with air pollution levels that routinely
exceed World Health Organization guide-

lines. Last week, more than 20 cities were

on red alert, the highest warning level in
Chinas four-tiered system, while Beijing
was on the second-highest orange alert.
Smog is an acutely felt issue in Chinas
cities, where a red alert can lead to the closure of schools and businesses, flight cancellations, and shutdowns of highways to
keep cars off the roads. During a red alert in
Beijing last month, authorities banned construction crews from spray-painting and
even seized the charcoal grills from some
restaurants.
But enforcement remains an issue. Chinas
environmental ministry said during last
weeks red alert that its inspection teams
found companies resuming production
despite a government ban. Many factories
remain under severe pressure to meet production targets regardless of air pollution.
Cai on Saturday blamed polluting activities like burning garbage or wood on the
result of lax supervision and weak law
enforcement.
But Chinas pollution is caused chiefly by
its thousands of coal-burning factories and a
surplus of older, inefficient vehicles. While

it tries to answer the loud public calls to
tamp down on pollution, the Communist
government is also grappling with an economic slowdown and the challenge of maintaining growth.

China is also the worlds largest producer

and consumer of coal, and measures like capping production days or shutting down older
coal mines run the risk of driving up energy
prices and further slowing the economy.

Norwegian mass murderer Breivik in human rights appeal case

By Matti Huuhtanen
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

HELSINKI Norwegian mass murderer

Anders Behring Breivik, who killed 77 people in a bombing and shooting rampage in
2011, is returning to court this week as the
government appeals a ruling that his isolation in prison breaches the European
Convention on Human Rights.
The 37-year-old right-wing extremist,
who admitted to the killings that Prime
Minister Erna Solberg has called one of the
darkest days in Norwegian history, was
convicted of mass murder and terrorism in
2012 and given a 21-year prison sentence

MILLBRAE A
new beginning for a
New Year.
How
many times have you
heard those around
you talking about
their New Years
resolutions and how
they plan to make a
fresh start? How many times have you
made New Years resolutions? Have you
promised yourself to be strong enough to
keep those resolutions? Have you ever told
yourself that youll have a great year by just
following through with your New Years
promise? Were these promises hard to keep
or easy to ignore? Have you ever broken a
promise to yourself? New Years Eve is a
time when promises are made in the
excitement of the moment, but sometimes
are forgotten or cast aside when laziness
takes over. Keeping a promise to yourself
should be considered no different than
keeping a promise to someone else, and
followed through with accordingly.
It takes a sense of responsibility to be
committed to a promise, and also a slight
sense of potential embarrassment. By not
following through with your commitments
you have a good possibility of being judged
poorly by those who are relying on you, in
turn causing embarrassment for yourself.
Nobody wants to be told they should be
ashamed of themselves. It is much easier to
follow through with your commitments.
Avoiding being shamed all together can lead
to a positive outcome for everyone involved.
It is a little more complicated, though,
when you are the one that youre making a
promise to. Since making a commitment to
yourself is done privately within in your

that can be extended for as long as hes

deemed dangerous to society. Legal experts
say he will likely be locked up for life.
Breivik has often complained about his
treatment and prison conditions.
Last year, he sued the government, saying
his solitary connement, frequent strip
searches and the fact that he was often handcuffed during the early part of his incarceration violated his human rights. He is held in
isolation in a three-cell complex where he
can play video games, watch TV and exercise. He has also complained about the quality of the prison food, having to eat with
plastic utensils and not being able to communicate with sympathizers.

mind you have the easy option to just say

forget it without anyone knowing. It can
be a psychological struggle and a matter of
strong will-power to keep yourself
committed to your resolution.
The
temptation to just give up can be too hard
for many to resist. Picture the old cartoon
with that poor schmuck being pulled in two
directions by his conscience, an angel on
one shoulder and a devil on the other, giving
him conflicting orders. This is a very real
dilemma for someone who is having trouble
between doing the right thing for themselves
or falling back into old engrained bad habits.
Trying to better yourself can be hard. It
is much easier when you want to make a
commitment than when you have to make
a commitment. Still, the key idea is to make
yourself better. Since you are in charge of
your own situation, though, you can make
the rules. Take baby steps and lead up to
your self commitments gradually. Starting
small may work better than a big grandiose
commitment that may not be realistic.
Perhaps you can keep your resolution every
Monday, and then work your way up to a
second day and so on. Everyone handles
their commitments differently and you will
have to adjust your rules to what works best
for your type of resolution.
Responsibility is an important quality
that should not be taken lightly. A promise
to yourself can be a struggle, but if pulled
off with will-power a resolution can be a
liberating and freeing experience.

The government has rejected his complaints, saying he is treated humanely

despite the severity of his crimes and that
he must be separated from other inmates for
safety reasons.
But, in a surprise ruling in April, the Oslo
District Court said the prohibition of inhuman and degrading treatment represents a
fundamental value in a democratic society.
This applies no matter what also in the
treatment of terrorists and killers. It also
ordered the government to pay Breiviks
legal costs of 331,000 kroner ($41,000).
However, it dismissed Breiviks claim that
his right to respect for private and family
life was violated by restrictions on contacts
with other right-wing extremists.
Breivik had meticulously planned the
July 22, 2011, attacks, setting off a car
bomb outside the government headquarters
in Oslo, killing eight people and wounding
dozens. He then drove to the island of
Utoya, some 40 kilometers (25 miles)
away, where he opened re on the annual
summer camp of the left-wing Labor Partys

youth wing. Sixty-nine people there were

killed, most of them teenagers, before
Breivik surrendered to police.
At the time of the attacks, Breivik
claimed to be the commander of a secret
Christian military order plotting an antiMuslim
revolution
in
Europe.
Investigators found no trace of the group.
He now describes himself as a traditional
neo-Nazi who prays to the Viking god
Odin, saying his earlier crusader image was
just for show. He made a Nazi salute to journalists at the start of his human rights case
last year.
Breiviks lawyer, Oystein Storrvik, said
his client was satised with last years verdict and that prison authorities would have
to lift some of his restrictions, adding that
he expects Breivik to be allowed to meet
other people in prison.
But the massacre shocked the oil-rich,
quiet Scandinavian country and many feel
Breivik has already had too much attention
and should be consigned to the history
books.

What Exxon knew about global warming

Other voices

The Los Angeles Times

cientists at the giant multinational energy company then

known as Exxon were aware as
early as the 1970s that burning products made from oil would contribute to
global warming and, eventually, raise
sea levels and alter climates.
Investigative reports published in
2015 by The Times and Inside
Climate News found that the company
made internal calculations about how
such changes would affect its business
recognizing, for instance, that the
polar ice caps were shrinking and that
the companys operations in the
Arctic could change dramatically as a
result. But even as it privately
schemed about how to handle the
risks and benefits of climate change,
the oil giant publicly argued that the
science it knew to be right was actually murky. For years, Exxon financed
projects aimed at undermining the
growing scientific consensus about
global warming, and continued to sell
stock to investors without acknowledging either the dangers to the world
of burning fossil fuels or the
threats that rising and more volatile
seas posed to the companys own offshore drilling operations and coastal
installations, among other climate
change-related business risks.
The gap between what Exxon officials knew to be true and what they
said publicly suggests both
hypocrisy and a lack of concern about
the fate of the planet. But whether the
company violated securities law in
the process is another question. That
is the subject of investigations by

several state attorneys general, led by

those in New York and Massachusetts,
who have subpoenaed hundreds of
thousands of pages of documents.
California has its own inquiry underway, though Atty. Gen. Kamala Harris
has offered no details and her department officially has no comment on a
potential or ongoing investigation.
Separately, the federal Securities and
Exchange Commission is also
reviewing actions by Exxon Mobil,
as the corporation has been known
since a 1999 merger.
Exxon Mobil has responded to the
state subpoenas, but it also is trying
to persuade a federal judge in Texas to
close down the Massachusetts investigation, accusing the state of trampling its 1st Amendment rights.
Whether a federal judge in Texas would
have authority to interfere in an
ongoing state investigation in
Massachusetts is the subject of yet
more legal wrangling.
At the same time, Rep. Lamar Smith
(R-Texas), the oil-friendly chair of the
House Committee on Science, Space
and Technology, has demanded documents from the ongoing state investigations, including from Harris office
a troubling attempt by Congress to
interfere in state-level criminal investigations. Smiths committee also has
sought documents from independent
environmental groups that, using the
campaign against the tobacco industry as a blueprint, are acting in concert to try to hold the oil industry
responsible for climate change damages it knew its products were caus-

ing.
While New York and Massachusetts
have been open about their investigation of Exxon (the Virgin Islands
recently abandoned a similar effort,
citing lack of resources), California
has been quiet. Harris is not long for
her job in Sacramento she will
replace Barbara Boxer in the U.S.
Senate next week. Gov. Jerry Brown
has nominated Rep. Xavier Becerra
(D-Los Angeles) to succeed Harris,
pending confirmation by the
Legislature. Assuming that happens,
Becerra should put the Exxon investigation near the top of his to do list.
If investigations by California and
other states find no grounds to pursue
charges, so be it. Its clear in any case
that Exxon Mobils behavior was at
best devious and cynical. The oil
giant was at the vanguard of understanding the perils inherent in burning fossil fuels, and could have been a
leader in moving the world toward
safer and more sustainable energy
sources.
Exxon Mobils calculated manipulations cost the world an opportunity to
attack global warming earlier than it
did. If Exxon Mobil and other oil
companies had acted more in the
common interest rather than focusing
on profit, the world might not be
struggling today to ratchet back emissions and avoid catastrophic changes.
With President-elect Donald J.
Trumps nomination of Exxon Mobil
Chief Executive Rex Tillerson as secretary of state, the companys climate
change-denying disinformation campaign demands as full and fast a public
accounting as is possible.

Letters to the editor

Presidential primary
Editor,
I absolutely agree with Assemblyman
Kevin Mullins statement that California is a political ATM ( California
primary may move in the Jan. 6 edition of the Daily Journal).
However we are not an afterthought
because of the timing of our primary. We
are an afterthought because the state has
already been conceded to the Democrats.
We are not a battleground state. He states
that he wants to be non-partisan and
wants the voices of all political persuasions heard. If he is truly serious about
this concept then the only effective
change is to eliminate the winner-takeall policy of delegates to the Electoral
College and replace it with one where the
delegates are divided based on the popular vote if you get 60 percent of
Californias popular vote, you get 60

One person, one

vote in jeopardy
F

or the second time in 16 years, the candidate who

lost the popular vote has won the presidency.
Hillary Clinton beat Donald Trump by almost 3
million votes, the biggest decit for an incoming president since the 19th century. The rule of one person, one
vote seems in jeopardy due to unfair redistricting and the
Electoral College.
In case you forgot, Article 2 of the Constitution set up
the Electoral College. It assigns votes to states by the size
of their congressional delegation. Each state gets two electors as they get two senators in addition to those
apportioned by population. The result is that electoral
votes cast by the most populous states are worth a fraction
of those cast by small ones. One Wyoming Electoral
College vote represents 143,000 people compared to
500,000 in California. One person, one vote? Hardly.
***
Every 10 years, states
redraw their voting maps
so that their election districts reect population
changes after the census.
In California,
Congressman Phillip
Burton (1964-1983) was
the mastermind in drawing safe districts for
Democrats with the help
of Republicans who wanted to maintain their safe
seats, a grand bargain to
protect incumbents otherwise known as gerrymandering.
But in 2010, Republican state legislatures outdid Burton
to change congressional and state legislative districts to
solidify conservative policy making at both the national
and state levels. The result: a Republican stronghold in
the House of Representative for the next decade or more.
Some of the new district maps put black voters into one
or two districts, minimizing their inuence in neighboring districts. Districts were drawn based on their partisan
makeup to favor GOP candidates. The result: In 2012,
Democratic candidates for the House of Representatives in
Congress received 1.4 million more votes than
Republicans, but Republicans held a 234-201 majority of
the seats after the election. That was the rst time since
1972 that the party with the most votes did not elect the
most representatives to Congress. It happened again in
2014, when Republican candidates received 52 percent of
the votes but won 57 percent of the seats. It was the same
at the state level: in Ohio despite winning more than 50
percent of the popular vote cast for the state Legislature in
2012, Democratic members won just 39 of 99 seats.
***
What can be done? It will be a challenge to change the
Electoral College or to put limits on redistricting. But
efforts are underway on both fronts. Since 2010, 224 lawsuits challenging district lines have been led. In 13 of
those cases, states were ordered to redraw their districts.
Wisconsins 2012 redistricting plan is awaiting a decision
from a federal court after the district court concluded that the
states 2011 plan violated the Voting Rights Act.
Meanwhile, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear two redistricting cases in Virginia and North Carolina, both of which
concern the permissibility of using race as a predominate
factor for consideration in drawing electoral districts.
***
Experts feel the best way to change the Electoral
College is through the National Popular Vote Interstate
Compact, or NPVIC, rather than by a constitutional
amendment. The Constitution gives states full control
over how they allocate their electoral votes. The current
winner-take-all method, in which the winner of the
statewide popular vote wins all of that states electoral
votes, is a choice and states can choose differently.
The argument is simple: the Electoral College violates
the principle of one person, one vote. Some states residents are more equal than others. The NPVIC is an agreement among a group of U.S. states and the District of
Columbia to award all their respective electoral votes to
whichever presidential candidate wins the overall popular
vote in the 50 states and the District of Columbia. It is to
ensure the candidate who wins the popular vote is elected
president. It has bipartisan support and has been introduced in all 50 state legislatures. As of 2016, it has been
adopted by 10 states (including California) and the District
of Columbia. It has 165 electoral votes, 30.7 percent of
the total Electoral College and 61.1 percent of the votes
needed to give it legal force. Until some of these changes
are made, one person, one vote remains in jeopardy.

Study explores link between college debt, boomerangeffect

By Holly Ramer
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CONCORD, N.H. While both college

debt and the boomerang phenomenon are
growing, a new study casts doubt on the
notion that staggering student loans are
driving young adults back to their parents
doorsteps.
In the past decade, student debt has doubled, with the average 2015 college graduate owing $30,000. The rate at which young
adults boomerang also is increasing
recent studies report that between 20 and 50
percent are returning home. Many assume
the former causes the latter, but Jason Houle
and Cody Warner assistant sociology
professors at Dartmouth College and
Montana State University, respectively
found the opposite.
Their study, published Thursday in
Sociology of Education and based on annual surveys of more than 5,000 people born
between 1980 and 1984, found that socalled boomerangers had less student loan
debt than young adults who didnt return
home.
Were trying to have an important corrective to the narrative thats out there,
Houle said.
While many in policy and academic cir-

cles subscribe to what Houle called the

Chicken Little idea that The sky is falling,
student debt is destroying the dreams of a
generation, others believe there is not so
much a college debt crisis as there is a college completion crisis. The study backs up
the latter idea, he said. The authors found a
strong association between college completion and the boomerang effect: Young
adults who did not nish their degrees had at
least a 40 percent higher risk of returning
home than those who graduated, likely due
to limited options to nding a job.
Corey Dowe, who graduated from Cornell
University in 2015, has been living with
her parents in Barrington, New Hampshire,
for just under a year. She said she did not
leave college with signicant debt, but said
it makes more sense for her to live with her
parents as she completes an online masters
degree program.
They dont mind me being here, and I
dont mind being here, said Dowe, 23. Im
just trying to be smart with money right
now, so its somewhat money-oriented, but
its not because of debt.
But Mike Rocchio, also 23, said debt was
a huge factor in his decision to live with his
parents in Cranston, Rhode Island. He graduated from Quinnipiac University in 2015
with more than $150,000 in debt and works

Fiat Chrysler to build three new

Jeeps, creating 2,000 jobs in U.S.
By Tom Krisher
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DETROIT Fiat Chrysler will add three new

Jeeps to its lineup including a pickup truck as
it invests $1 billion in two U.S. factories,
furthering its effort to increase production of
hot-selling SUVs and pickup trucks and get
out of producing small and midsize cars. The
expansion will create 2,000 new jobs.
The Italian-American automaker said
Sunday it will modernize a factory in the
Detroit suburb of Warren, Michigan, to make
the new Jeep Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer
large SUVs. A factory complex just south of
there in Toledo, Ohio, also will get new
equipment to make the new pickup. The company wouldn't provide details of the new
products, but said the factory work would be
done in 2020.
Consumers worldwide have gravitated
toward SUVs and trucks while turning away
from passenger cars. Last year in the U.S.,
car sales fell 7 percent while truck and SUV
sales rose 8 percent.
Last year, FCA announced plans to stop

production of the slow-selling Dodge Dart

and Chrysler 200. Factories that make those
products in Sterling Heights, Michigan, and
Belvidere, Ill., will get new trucks and SUVs
as FCA searches for an automaker that would
build small cars under contract.
The factory upgrade in Warren also would
allow the plant to make heavy-duty Ram
pickups that now are produced in Saltillo,
Mexico. But FCA would not say if it has
plans to shift production to the north.
Producing vehicles in Mexico and shipping them to the U.S. has become a thorny
political issue with the election of Donald
Trump as president. Trump has criticized
Ford, General Motors and Toyota for building
small cars in Mexico and shipping them
across the border. He has threatened to
impose a big border tax on the companies.
The factory moves expand FCA's capacity
to build vehicles in key segments "enabling
us to meet growing demand here in the U.S.,
but more importantly to increase exports of
our mid-size and larger vehicles to international markets," CEO Sergio Marchionne
said in a statement.

as a clinical research coordinator in

Boston.
It was pretty much a no-brainer, he said.
There was no way I was going to be able to
make loan payments and afford rent on an
apartment, especially in Boston.
Rocchio said he was surprised by the
studys ndings.
In my close group of friends, with few
exceptions, we all pretty much live at
home, he said. Out of six kids that Im
really close with, three of them live in an
apartment together, and three of us live at
home, and it really depends on loans. I

know for the three of us who live at home,

(our debt) was in the six gures.
The new study is among only a few that
has examined the link between student debt
and boomeranging. A 2015 report by the
Federal Reserve Board used credit-report
data to conclude that student debt is positively associated with boomeranging. The
authors of that report did not respond to a
request for comment Friday. Houle said that
research was limited in that it only included
young adults who had credit reports, and
therefore didnt include those without debt,
and used less precise methods of determining whether the subjects lived with their
parents.
Houles study used data from the National
Longitudinal Study of Youth 1997 Cohort, a
sample of 8,984 respondents across the
country who were born between 1980 and
1984, and aside from two years, have been
interviewed by the U. S. Department of
Labor every year since 1997. For this study,
the sample was restricted to the 5,025 who
had attended college and had lived apart
from their parents at some point. The
authors acknowledge several limitations,
including that there may be other differences between respondents with different
debt amounts that may affect boomeranging.

Rabb lifts Cal past No. 25 USC

Curry leads comeback in Sac-Town

SACRAMENTO Stephen Curry made

five 3-pointers and scored 30 points and the
Golden State Warriors took their first lead
midway through the third quarter on the way
to a 117-106 victory over the Sacramento
Kings on Sunday night.
Kevin Durant had 28 points, seven
rebounds, six assists and four blocks, and
Klay Thompson added 18 points. With their
17th straight victory after a loss, the
Warriors reached 124 straight regular-season
games without suffering back-to-back
defeats.
Draymond Green had 10 assists for his
12th game with double digits assists and
third in four, while Zaza Pachulia scored 10
points to reach double figures for the fourth
straight game. Yet one for the highlight reel
was Pachulias no-look, backward over-thehead pass to Curry after the big man got the
ball when Durant blocked a shot by
DeMarcus Cousins.
Sacramentos Rudy Gay scored 15 of his 23
points in the first quarter. Cousins had 17.
Golden State had 30 assists for the 26th
time this season and won its 13th straight
against the Kings, seventh in a row in
Sacramento.

The Warriors woke up

after halftime, starting
the third with a 19-7 burst
and outscoring the Kings
39-22 in the period.
Golden State didnt lead
until Currys 3-pointer
with 7:34 left in the third,
following Durants tying
Steph Curry 3 the previous possession. Curry has at least
30 points in three consecutive games.
Gay shot 9 for 17 in his second game back
after missing four straight with a right hip

11.
The Kings had their way at the rim early,
and coach Steve Kerr called timeout 18 seconds into the game after Cousins burned
Pachulia for the games first points.
Cousins scored seven in a hurry, also getting by Durant. After a three-point play,
Durant went up to dunk on Cousins, missed
but was fouled Cousins second at the
5:54 mark of the first.
Golden State pulled back within eight late

Perfect season on line for Crimson dynasty

By Ralph D. Russo
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

TAMPA, Fla. Nick Saban and Alabama

are on the verge of leaving college football
history behind.
The top-ranked Crimson Tide face
Clemson on Monday night in a College
Football Playoff national championship
game rematch. A victory would give
Alabama five national championships in
eight seasons, a feat never completed at the
highest level of the sport during the poll
era.
The Tide (14-0) can become the first FBS
program to finish 15-0, along with the first
to win four championships in span of six
seasons, going back-to-back twice in that
span.
A case can already be made that Alabamas
current run is the greatest in college football history. Better than Notre Dame back
in the grainy black-and-white footage days
of Knute Rockne and Frank Leahy. Better
than Miamis long run of dominance in the
1980s and early 90s. Better than anything
Alabama did when Bear Bryant was leading
the Tide in the 1960s and 70s.
Another title would give Saban six during
the poll era that began in 1936, including a
BCS crown at LSU in 2003, matching
Bryant for the most of any major-college
coach.

Wisconsin defensive coordinator Justin

Academic Progress Rating of 930 was the

With one more championship, there will
be no more college football dynasties left
to compare to Sabans.
Clemson coach Dabo Swinney and Saban

Tampa. The same deal as last year, just in a
different place.

terback Jared Goff, the Bears were one of the
most prolific teams in the country but only
managed one bowl appearance. Cal beat Air
Force in the Armed Forces Bowl last season.
Coach Dykes clearly built up our program both on the field and in the classroom and he leaves Cal in a stronger
position than when he arrived, Williams
said. For that alone, he deserves credit and
our thanks. After our bowl win last season,
we showed our commitment to him with a
contract extension. But after looking at a
number of factors after the end of this season, I felt that we needed a change of direction for the good of our student-athletes and
our program.
Goff went first overall in the NFL draft last
year and transfer Davis Webb stepped in to
keep Cals offense rolling. The defense,
however, was again one of the worst in the
country, ranking 122nd in yards per play.
In four seasons under Dykes, the Bears
never ranked better than 102nd in the nation
in yards per play allowed.
We want to win championships,
Williams said. The success of our football
program is vital to both our department and
our university community, and its influence
can be felt well beyond Berkeley.

Heisman Trophy runner-up Deshaun

Watson said he knew when he decided to
come to Clemson in 2012 he was joining a
program poised for big things.
Clemson is working on a streak of six
consecutive 10-win seasons, topped only
by Alabamas 10 straight.
Watson,
the
quarterback
from
Gainesville, Georgia, has been maybe the
biggest reason why Clemson has become
Alabamas final and greatest challenge the
last two seasons.
He was spectacular against the Tide in the
title game last year with 478 total yards.
Unable to stop Watson, Alabama used a surprising onside kick to swing the game its
way and win 45-40.
The Crimson Tide defense enters the game
ranked tops in the nation in total defense,
rushing defense, yards per play allowed and
points allowed. It is also responsible for 12
of the teams stunning 15 non-offensive
touchdowns.
Clemson, meanwhile, is coming off its
best defensive effort for the season in a 310 Fiesta Bowl win against Ohio State.
The Tide has won 26 straight games. The
Tigers are 27-2 the last two seasons.
Frazier-Ali type of fight, Alabama tight
end O.J. Howard said. Two great teams, and
were going to go at it and its going to be a
great game Monday night.
Howard added: Were Ali.

HS coach is target
of bullying lawsuit
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

RENO, Nev. Three former Nevada high

school football players have filed a federal lawsuit that says they had to leave the team after
they challenged bullying from their coach.
The lawsuit names the coach, Galena High
School principal and Washoe County School
District, the Reno Gazette-Journal reported.
Bullying by a coach runs afoul of district
policy, said lawyer Terri Keyser-Cooper, who
is representing Mateo Lemus, Bryan Madison
and Jake Berger.
Coach Steve Struzyk, who has coached the
team for 15 seasons, could not be reached for
comment. The lawsuit says Struzyk stripped
the team captains of their leadership roles in
front of the rest of the team after learning the
three athletes had used an over-the-counter,
testosterone-boosting supplement.
The Nevada Interscholastic Athletic
Association does not prohibit the supplement,
Keyser-Cooper said.

49ers interview RAIDERS

Jimmy Raye III
for GM position
Continued from page 11

By Josh Dubow

SANTA CLARA The San Francisco

49ers interviewed Indianapolis vice president of football operations Jimmy Raye III
on Sunday for the teams
vacant general manager
job.
CEO Jed York met with
Raye as part of his crosscountry interview tour to
find replacements for
fired coach Chip Kelly
and general manager
Trent Baalke following a
Jimmy Raye III 2-14 season that tied the
worst mark in franchise
history.
Raye is the son of former 49ers offensive coordinator Jimmy Raye II,
who held the job in 200910. He has spent the past
four years with the Colts
after a 17-year tenure in
San Diego, where he

personnel.
Raye is the fourth candidate to interview
for the general manager job in San
Francisco, following Minnesota assistant
GM George Paton, Green Bay director of
football operations Eliot Wolf and Packers
director of player personnel Brian
Gutekunst.
York said he was open to hiring either the
coach or general manager first. He said the
primary goal in the search is finding a coach
and general manager who can work well
together.
York has also interviewed three coaching
candidates: New England offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels, Atlanta offensive
coordinator Kyle Shanahan and Buffalo
interim coach Anthony Lynn.

While backups Matt McGloin and Connor
Cook struggled to move the offense the past
two weeks, Carr could only wonder what the
Raiders (12-5) might have been able to
accomplish had he not broken his leg late in a
victory Dec. 24 against Indianapolis.
Im human. Yeah, absolutely. I said, What
if? I said, why?A lot, in the last two weeks,
Carr said Sunday.
But I can promise you, Ive been the same
person. Its obviously hurt me. Some days,
Ive been really down and sad, but it doesnt
change who I am. It just hurts, man. It just
hurts because I love our team. I love our coaches. I love the fans. I love playing this game.
Carr gave the Raiders great hope with a
spectacular season in which he threw for
3,937 yards and 28 touchdowns. He led seven
fourth-quarter comebacks and became an MVP
contender by spearheading a turnaround for a
franchise that lost the first 10 games of 2014,

games of the regular season to take the NFC

THE DAILY JOURNAL

But as much as the disappointment from

Carrs injury and the playoff loss left a sour
taste for what had been a feel-good season, the
Raiders know there is plenty of reason for
optimism.
With a young core led by Carr, All-Pro edge
rusher Khalil Mack and Pro Bowl receiver
Amari Cooper, a stout offensive line expected to remain mostly intact, and other key
building blocks in place, the future is bright
for the Raiders.
We want more, coach Jack Del Rio said.
As an organization, our goals are higher. So,
thats not going to change. Were not going
to pretend that it wasnt really good. You win
12 games, thats hard to do in this league. We
won six in a row at one stretch and never really had back-to-back losses prior to yesterday.
A lot of really good things were going on and
are going on. We want to build on those.
As long as Carr is healthy. He said he
believed he could have made it back for the
Super Bowl had the team gotten that far,
adding he will be 100 percent when the offseason program begins in April.
The past two weeks showed how important
Carr is to the Raiders. What was one of the
leagues more dynamic offenses when Carr
was healthy couldnt get going at all against
Denver and Houston.
Oakland was held to a season-low 221 yards

in a 24-6 loss to the Broncos that McGloin

started before leaving with an injured left
shoulder. Cook came on late in the first half of
that game and then became the first quarterback to make his first start in the postseason
the following week.
That task was far too great to overcome as
he threw an early interception to Jadeveon
Clowney and the Raiders gained just 203
yards overall in their second-lowest playoff
production ever.
He wont ever be in a tougher situation
than he was then, Carr said. His first action,
real being the starter action, was in the playoffs against the No. 1 defense on paper in
football. It will never be harder for him and I
told him that.
Cook didnt get much help as the defense
struggled against lesser quarterbacks Trevor
Siemian and Brock Osweiler. The receivers
dropped numerous passes and the running
game never got going as there appeared to be
a psychological hit from losing Carr.
I mean, its kind of obvious. DC was MVP
all season. When you lose your MVP, makes
it tough, even though we have capable backup quarterbacks, very capable backup quarterbacks, receiver Andre Holmes said.
But with all that said, if DC was healthy, I
feel like there would be more people in this
locker room right now.

a walking boot on his right foot afterward,

more than wiped away the bitter aftertaste of
a 30-15 whipping at the hands of the
Dolphins in mid-October. Given a shot at
redemption, Pittsburgh didnt let it go to
waste. The Steelers (12-5) led by two touchdowns before the game was 10 minutes old on
long touchdown passes from Roethlisberger
to Brown. Miami never got closer than 11.
LeVeon was beastly, said Brown, who
finished with five receptions for 124 yards
and the two scores. All day, controlling the
line of scrimmage, just running guys over and
finding a way to put the ball in the end zone.
Any time hes playing like that, were going
to be a hard team to beat.

Certainly, at least, teams like the Dolphins

(10-7). Given a chance to prove their first
playoff berth in eight years wasnt a fluke
despite being outgained and outscored during
the regular season, Miami never found a
rhythm. The problem wasnt the single digit
wind chill or a vicious hit absorbed by quarterback Matt Moore in the second quarter as
much as it was the Steelers.
Pittsburgh sacked Moore five times, forced
turnovers on three consecutive possessions
in the middle of the game, and never really let
the Dolphins up off the deck.
Pittsburgh (12-5) ran off its eighth straight
victory to set up a visit to AFC West champion Kansas City (12-4) next Sunday.

North. Cobb finished with five receptions

for 116 yards and three scores.
For much of the first half, the Giants
defense flustered the two-time NFL MVP.
They got pressure on Rodgers and the secondary blanketed the Packers talented
receiving corps , and a few boos even rained
down from the stands after New York built a
6-0 lead on two field goals by Robbie Gould.
As it turned out, Rodgers was just getting
started.
We hit a Hail Mary. That got us going,
Rodgers said.
Green Bay scored two touchdowns in the final
2:20 of the second quarter, punctuated by another remarkable desperation pass by Rodgers.
With the ball on the Giants 42, Rodgers
took the snap with 6 seconds left. He rolled

to his right before heaving a throw from

about the Packers 47. Cobb somehow got
behind three defensive backs near the back
of the end zone to haul in the pass, getting
both feet down before falling out of bounds.
Rodgers and Cobb connected again on a 30yard touchdown pass late in the third quarter for
a 21-13 lead. That score answered a Giants
scoring drive that briefly cut the deficit to one.
A Packers defense ranked 21st in points
allowed (24.3) coming into the game limited the production of Odell Beckham Jr., and
the Giants receiving corps in spite of a battered secondary.
Beckham finished with four catches for 28
yards. Eli Manning was 23 of 44 for 299
yards, including the 41-yard touchdown
pass to Tavarres King in the third quarter.

Coaches endorse new rules for

NFL underclassman scouting
By Ralph D. Russo
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

TAMPA, Fla. Alabama coach

Nick Saban and Clemson coach
Dabo Swinney are hopeful that
new rules regarding how NFL
teams can evaluate underclassmen
will provide players better information on whether to go pro.
The American Football Coaches
Association and the NFL reached
an agreement last year that allows
underclassmen who are returning
for another season of college football to participate in pro days at
their schools. That will allow
scouts and coaches to begin the
evaluation process earlier. Each
school is allowed to have five
underclassmen participate, though
it can request to have more.
The change should give the
NFLs college advisory committee
more information and allow it to
provide better feedback when
underclassmen request evaluations.
I think the philosophy here is
the more information that the NFL
can get on players, the more accurate they can be in evaluation,
Saban said. And I think that players are trying to make a business

decision after
three years in
school, business decision
being, where
will I get drafted
relative to if I
stayed
in
school, where
could I develop
Nick Saban
and get drafted a
year from now and have a better
opportunity for myself.
Because once you enter the
draft, you cant improve your draft
status. But if you stay in college
you can improve your draft status
dramatically.
Swinney gave Saban credit for
spearheading the change, arranging a conference call with about
five coaches last year.
For the second straight season,
Alabama and Clemson are playing
in the College Football Playoff
national championship game.
Both teams are loaded with underclassmen that could leave behind
college eligibility and declare for
the NFL draft in April. The deadline to declare for underclassmen
to declare for the draft is Jan. 16.
Swinney has already said he
expects quarterback Deshaun

Watson, receiver Mike Williams

and running back Wayne Gallman
to give up their final season eligibility and enter the draft as juniors. Among the Alabama players
who will be considering early draft
entry are offensive tackle Cam
Robinson and receiver ArDarius
Stewart.
Underclassmen can request an
evaluation from the advisory committee. The committee changed its
rating system last year to potential first-round pick, potential second-round pick or neither, essentially recommending the player
stay in school. The number of
underclassmen entering the draft
had been steadily rising in recent
years and hit a record 98 in 2015.
Last year that number dropped to
74 and coaches are hoping the new
scouting rules can decrease it further.
It was frustrating when you
have a young man that gets a second-round grade and he doesnt get
drafted, or its frustrating when
you have a guy that gets a seventh-round grade and comes out
and goes in the second round,
Swinney said. The consistency in
the evaluation was an area of concern for us as coaches.

Mikaela Shiffrin skies the womens World Cup slalom in Maribor, Slovenia.

Shiffrin wins World Cup slalom

despite skiing over broken gate
By Eric Willemsen
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MARIBOR, Slovenia Not

even a broken gate rolling down
the course could stop Olympic
slalom champion Mikaela Shiffrin
from returning to the top of the
podium in her favorite discipline.
The American won a womens
World Cup race Sunday, five days
after she had failed to finish a
slalom run for the first time in four
years.
In light snowfall, the American
was leading the field by 0.19 seconds when a gate that she had just
passed correctly broke and flew
down the hill. Shiffrin skied over it
but managed to stay on the course.
She fell 0.09 off the lead due to
the incident, but accelerated in the
bottom section to take the win,
0.19 seconds ahead of Wendy
Holdener of Switzerland. Frida

Hansdotter of Sweden came 0.31

behind in third.
I skied over it a couple of times.
It just kept coming at me, Shiffrin
said. The gate was very solidly
under my skis for a couple of turns.
I felt it but it was OK. I was happy
that I didnt totally lose my ski and
fall over.
It was the Americans 27th career
win, which puts her level with Phil
Mahre in third place among
American skiers with most World
Cup wins, behind Bode Miller (33)
and Lindsey Vonn (76). She also
equaled Swedish standout Ingemar
Stenmarks feat of 27 victories
before turning 22. Only Annemarie
Moser-Proell of Austria had more
wins (41) at that age.
Shiffrin had her seven-race winning streak come to an end in
Tuesdays race in Zagreb, where she
straddled a gate early in her first
run.

I thought it was good for our

M-A boys dialed in

The Bears (7-3) set the tone

six different players. Senior guard
Kai Winterling led the barrage
with a team-high 13 points,

well from the outside, Molieri
said. I knew they werent going
to let our point guard [Eric Norton]
drive without having bodies. So,
let him suck up the defenders and
have kick-outs and make shots;
and we hit them.
Norton was the catalyst for an
early M-A tempo that, if the Bears
can keep it from going off the
rails, could be as fast as anyones
transition game in the PAL South
this season. The senior totaled 11
points, including eight in a frantic

According to Norton, though,
frantic is the way M-A likes to
play and that extends to both
sides of the ball.

never held a lead in the game had
its best run of the night in the first
quarter by overcoming an 8-2
deficit. But tied at 8-8, M-A sophomore James Beckwith capped the
opening period with a pair of 3pointers to extend the Bears lead
to 16-10. They would maintain the
lead the rest of the way.
We just had our confidence,
Norton said. We know we have
guards that can penetrate. But we
had to shoot the ball and we shot
really well this evening.
HMB kept pace through a defensive battle in the following quarter, outscoring M-A by a mere 8-6
in the second period. After the
Bears took a 22-18 lead into the
half, the Cougars closed it to 2826 on a 3-pointer from Ryan Yerby
with 3:20 remaining in the third
period.
M-A fired back with a 10-2 run
though, with quick 3-point strikes
from junior Logan Faberowski and
Norton. The long game proved the
difference, as M-A shot just 5 of
22 from beyond the arc throughout.
Thats the difference, HMB
head coach Rich Forslund said.
Forslund was hyper-critical of
his three starting guards, who

together accounted for 14

turnovers, he said.
It was expected to be the HMB
post to encounter growing pains
through nonleague play, with the
Cougars graduating 6-6 big-man
Austin Hilton now at Linfield
College, a Division III program in
Oregon after last season. But 66 junior forward Ethan Menzies
was one of the best players on the
court for either team Saturday,
scoring a game-high 16 points.
I think he needs more help,
Forslund said. Hes just not getting a lot of help down in the
block area. Our guard play has just
not been very good. I mean, they
have to play better. That, or I need
to get a couple of those guys out of
the starting lineup.

M-A girls dominate

The Lady Bears outscored the
Half Moon Bay girls in every quarter, holding the Cougars to their
lowest point total of the season.
While Hoyem led all scorers
with 19 points, it was the second
consecutive big-game performance by the Kailahi sisters that
really stood out. Sophomore Mele
Kailahi racked up 16 points while
junior Stella Kailahi totaled 11.
This comes off last Thursdays 7341 win over Sacred Heart Prep in

New car Jackson Storm

tries to dominate in Cars 3
DETROIT The third movie in
Disney Pixars Cars animated series
features an aggressive newcomer to
the race circuit who challenges wily
veteran Lightning McQueen.
Pixar unveiled new character
Jackson Storm and gave away some of
the plot for Cars 3 on Sunday at the
North American International Auto
Show in Detroit. It also drove out a
life-sized version of McQueen with
new red paint and decals that will stay
in Detroit through the public portion
of the show.
The new character, Jackson Storm,
has an angular, lower look and a sinister-looking black body that makes the
rounded and upright McQueen look
old. McQueen starts to feel old-fashioned, said Jay Ward, creative director
for the Cars series.
In the original 2006 movie,
McQueen is the brash young newcomer who takes over the Piston Cup circuit. Now hes about to be supplanted
by the cocky Storm. As the season
progresses, McQueens generation of
friends is replaced by newer models.

ve never loved cold weather and frankly dont get the

appeal of racing down mountains on skinny fiberglass boards. But as other Bay Area residents load
their cars with skis and sweaters for the drive to the yearround beautiful Sierra Nevada, many are also taking dogs
along. This is for them.
Time spent with our dogs
(and cats, rabbits, horses,
guinea pigs, etc.) are among
our best times. But when we
take our dog into an environment very different from their
norm, we must make sure that
time is fun, safe and healthy for
them. How, then, to winterize the family dog?
That built-in fur coat may
help, but even the fluffiest
dogs who spend 99 percent of
their time in our Bay Area
Ken WHITE
Mediterranean climate will not
have developed the full coat
found on dogs exposed to more significant seasonal
weather. And in real cold weather, even that full-coated dog
is still at risk of everything from cracked paws to potentially fatal hypothermia. A good starting point: if you feel
the need of a coat, your dog does too. Happily for fashionconscious Fidos, fiber- and down-filled dog vests are readily available.
Add booties which provide not only warmth but
increased traction. They also protect paws from ice (which
quickly develops on the fluff between toes) as well as salts
and chemicals used to control ice (problematic both on the
skin and if ingested).
Dont expect your dog to instantly enjoy or even tolerate these fashion accessories. Brief initial dress-up sessions with lots of loving (hugs, praise, yummies) is
always the ticket. If booties just arent accepted (dogs
often find them more off-putting than coats) there are several commercially available wax-like ointments designed
for cold weather that are rubbed directly onto a dogs feet.
One last tip: any time you and your animals are away
from home, make sure the animal is wearing ID, which
includes your cell number and/or local contact.

CALTRAIN
Continued from page 1
on in federal funding, its a missed opportunity because electrifying that train is going
to allow us to put more trains on the system
and the ridership can go from 50,000 or
60, 000 now, to 100, 000, said Don
Horsley, vice chair of the TA board. If were
going to have any impact on traffic congestion, electrification is incredibly important. It is the key element of doing some
traffic congestion relief. It was important
we [put up $135 million] and I think it was
the right decision.
If the authority hadnt stepped up and
agreed to meet the FTAs requirements,
Caltrain risked the potential of losing the
grant and missing its March deadline to
finalize construction contracts, said
Caltrain Chief Communications Officer
Seamus Murphy.

Cost on the line

Even though the SMCTA agreed to put up
much more than its partner agencies to meet
federal requirements, the neighboring transportation agencies are agreeing to equally
share any additional costs should they
arise, Murphy said. Thus, SMCTA wouldnt
actually be on the hook for a disproportion-

thought about how this type of service just
makes sense here, Hird said. We have seen
it in larger cities in the U.S. and after doing
a lot of research in the community and with

ate amount, he said.

Although the cost of electrification has
ballooned from $1.2 billion in 2008 to now
nearly $2 billion, Murphy emphasized the
price is now locked in since Caltrain hired
contractors last year.
The biggest assurance we have is that
weve already awarded contracts to the contractors that are going to build this project
and deliver the electric trains, Murphy
said. We have a lot of confidence that the
project budget has been as vetted as it can
be at this stage.
In essence, Caltrain is hopeful the additional funds wont actually be needed. But
even if they are, the four funding partners
are agreeing to split the costs, he said. The
current cost already has an 18 percent contingency built in and officials are confident
the FTA will recognize the significance of
electrifying Caltrains corridor, Murphy
said.
We h av e t h e reg i o n s fas t es t g ro wi n g

Murphy said. For us to be able to fuel
t h e eco n o mi c g ro wt h o f t h i s i n n o v at i v e
area, we n eed t o add mo re cap aci t y.
The end goal is to electrify nearly 51
miles of track between San Francisco and
San Jose and purchase new trains by 2021.
The project, which has been touted as a way
to meet increasing ridership while reducing

environmental impacts, has a patchworkfunding arrangement pulling from local,

regional, state and federal sources.

The scurry to meet the FTAs requirements

this week did highlight a stark contrast in
the various partner agencies capabilities as
well as the federal governments apparent
distrust of the states gas tax funding
source.
The MTC and San Francisco County
Transportation Authority had initially suggested they would each offer $50 million
from their portion of the State
Transportation Improvement Program, or
STIP. However, the state was forced to slash
millions of dollars from the program
because it is heavily reliant on gas tax
the revenue of which has plummeted in
recent years since oil prices fell and more
electric as well as fuel-efficient cars took to
Californias roads.
I think the feds were aware of that and
just felt the STIP money wasnt a reliable
source, said Horsley, also president of the
San Mateo County Board of Supervisors.
Since the California Transportation
Commission was forced to announce $754
million in STIP cuts last year, projects across
the state have been delayed. This week wasnt the first time the SMCTA has had to pick
up the slack since STIP funding was stripped
from local projects, Horsley noted.

The SMCTA agreed to loan funds to

local highway improvement projects after
STIP funding was postponed. The Measure
A sales tax originally approved by voters in 1988 and extended in 2004 has
proven to be extremely vital, he added.
The bottom line is that the sales tax is
a guarantee, Horsley said. I cannot
emphasize how wise it was in the long
run. The only way were going to be
able to address traffic issues is to have
local funding to match state or federal
funds.

La La Land steamrolls at Golden Globe awards

By Jake Coyle
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

La La Land came into the

Golden Globes as the big favorite,
and it started out four-for-four.
At the 74th annual Golden
Globes on Sunday in Beverly
Hills, California, La La Land
was steamrolling through a Jimmy
Fallon-hosted ceremony that
mixed the expected Hollywood
celebration with often-voiced
concern over president-elect
Donald Trump.
Damien Chazelles Los Angeles
musical, which had a leading
seven nominations, won best
actor for Ryan Gosling, best
screenplay for Chazelles script,
best score (Justin Hurwitz) and
best song for City of Stars.
This isnt the rst time Ive
been
mistaken
for
Ryan
Reynolds, Gosling joked, looking at his fellow nominee, the
Deadpool star. In one of the
evenings more emotional acceptance speeches, Gosling dedicated
his award to his late brother-inlaw, Juan Carlos Mendes.

While I was singing and dancing and playing piano and having
one of the best experiences Ive
ever had on a lm, my lady was
raising our daughter, pregnant
with our second and trying to help
her brother ght his battle with
cancer, said Gosling, referring to
his partner, Eva Mendes.
The Golden Globes got off to a
rocky start, with a broken
teleprompter initially froze
Fallon. Cut to Justin Timberlake,
please, implored a desperately
improvising Fallon. It was the
second asco for Globes producer
Dick Clark Productions, which
presented the infamous Mariah
Carey ub on New Years Eve.
The Tonight Show host started
the show with a cold open ode to
La La Land in a lavish sketch
more typical of the Academy
Awards than the Globes. Fallon did
a version of the lms opening
dance scene, with starry cameos
from Timberlake, previous Globes
host Tina Fey, Amy Adams and the
white Ford Bronco of The People
v. O.J. Simpson.
In a more truncated monologue,

Fallons sharpest barbs werent

directed at the stars in the room (as
was the style of frequent host
Ricky Gervais) but president-elect
Trump. He compared Trump to the
belligerent teenage king Joffrey of
Games of Thrones. Fallons rst
line (at least once the teleprompter
was up) was introducing the Globes
as one of the few places left where
America still honors the popular
vote.
That, though, isnt quite true. The
Hollywood
Foreign
Press
Association, a collection of 85
members, has its own methods of
selecting winners. Best supporting
actress winner Viola Davis, the costar of Denzel Washingtons August
Wilson adaptation Fences, alluded to the groups reputation for
being wined and dined.
I took all the pictures, went to
luncheon, said Davis, to knowing
chuckles through the ballroom, as
she clutched her award. But its
right on time.
The British actor Aaron TaylorJohnson took best supporting
actor for his performance in Tom
Fords Nocturnal Animals.

By Julie Pace and Mark Kennedy
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Fabio, the goldenhaired model who graced the cover of hundreds of romance novels, was wrapping up
Thanksgiving dinner at Donald Trumps
South Florida club when the president-elect
began making the rounds to greet his
guests.
Fabio, who goes by his rst name only,
said he hit it off with the newly elected
Republican, who asked the brawny model
how he stays in shape. On a second visit to

the Mar-a-Lago club around New Years,

Fabio huddled with incoming White House
press secretary Sean Spicer and offered his
assistance on veterans issues.
I want to help, said Fabio, who plans to
be in Washington for Trumps Jan. 20 inauguration.
Fabios embrace of Trump puts him in an
exclusive and eclectic club: celebrities who
not only support the president-elect, but are
willing to do so publicly. The entertainment industrys liberal bent, combined with

ties, left Trump persona non grata with

many A-listers, particularly those who have
rolled in President Barack Obamas circles.
While most modern presidents have had a
celebrity clique, Obamas crowd has been
especially glitzy. Beyonci performed at
both of his inaugurations. Ellen DeGeneres
and John Legend hobnobbed at his 55th
birthday party. A slew of famous faces

attended the president and rst lady

Michelle Obamas farewell bash Friday
night at the White House, and some shared
social media posts about partying with the
Obamas well into the morning.
Trump, a celebrity in his own right from
his days as a New York tabloid xture and
reality television host, has attracted a motlier crew.

SALES
Continued from page 1
Peter Aiello, a broker associate
with Coldwell Banker in Burlingame,
shared a similar perspective.
I think that level of appreciation
we have experienced, while it will
still be good, wont be the rampant
numbers that we have seen before,
he said.
Aiello pointed to Federal Reserve
Chair Janet Yellen declaring recently
the intent to hike interest rates a few
times over the coming year as a primary source of his skepticism regarding the sustainability of the historically hot local real estate market.
Money will be more expensive
and that will affect the purchasing
power of some people and their ability to get financing, he said.
Gillooley agreed that the ability of
some prospective buyers will likely
be reduced.
Interest rates are going up, taking
the punch out of buyers pockets, he
said.
The result of a market losing
momentum is some properties potentially languishing longer on the
sales block, presenting those purchasing a chance to seek lower
prices.
The more days on a market, that
means more opportunity for negotiation, said Aiello.

RANCH
Continued from page 1
draw in a couple of nonprofits to
expand that part of the facility, said
Davis. We want something that can
give back in that manner.
Ranch management recently began
working with a burgeoning nonprofit
interested in lending support services
to military veterans by allowing
them to ride horses as a means of
rehabilitation, said Davis, which
inspired an expanded vision for the
site.
We are close to getting them
going and we have room for at least
two more programs we feel would
benefit from the facility, she said.
Working with horses can offer a
holistic fashion of building selfesteem and confidence, said Davis,
who hopes other nonprofits express
interest in accessing the wealth of
resources available at the ranch.
Therapeutic riding programs, horseback riding as a rehabilitative treatment to strengthen coordination and
balance, as well as equine-assisted
learning programs are all examples of

To that end, Aiello said he believes

it will become increasingly important for sellers to list properties at a
price closer to the neighborhood
median value should they hope to find
a buyer in short order.
For people that want to sell properties, pricing is really critical, he
said.
Aiello said the diminished purchasing power of those who rely on loans
could make it harder for cheaper
homes to sell and noted a reduction in
the amount of all-cash purchases and
foreign investment as a counterforce
pushing down the top of the market.
Both Aiello and Gillooley said
though property sales may not continue appreciating at the astronomical rates previously enjoyed by sellers, neither expected the bottom to
fall from the market, primarily due to
the dearth of available homes comparable to the global demand to live
near the wealth of desirable jobs
along the Peninsula.
We are in a free market economy
and values are influenced by supply
and demand and supply has been low
but demand has been high, said
Aiello.
Supply in San Carlos is especially
low currently, said Gillooley, as only
one home is listed for sale. He said
some of the scarcity could be attributable to a seasonal decline in listings,
but noted there has been only a limited amount of homes on the market
over the previous few years.
The limited home availability

locally is consistent with trends

across the United States, as the
National Association of Realtors
expects inventory to be tighter in
2017 following a 9 percent dip in
November property listings from the
year prior.
Gillooley expects the home sales
market to loosen gradually in coming
months, as more owners could tend to
seek buyers following the holidays.
But some of the listings could come
from those who see the slowing value
appreciation as the sign of a market
hitting its ceiling and wishing to
capitalize before a potential turn, he
said.
Under the anticipation sales could
be harder to come by, Gillooley said
it is reasonable to project an uptick
in home improvements as owners
look to make their properties seem
more attractive than the competition.
Any time you have a market that
settles down a bit, you have to do a bit
more to get a house to sell, he said.
Should the housing market begin to
take a more significant slide though,
Aiello said he does not anticipate
property owners acting erratically to
sell their homes because the local real
estate market will likely regain its
value in short order.
If the market declines, theyll just
wait for the real estate cycle, he said.
If you hold on long enough, look
how quickly property values rebounded last time. Theyll just leave it
there and wait until the economy
turns.

the services available, said Davis.

Individuals of any age will find
these programs beneficial, including
but not limited to those who may
have suffered trauma due to violence,
[post-traumatic stress disorder], grief,
mental health, depression, anxiety,
stress and life issues, she said in an
email. Individuals with physical,
mental, emotional and/or learning
disabilities would benefit as well.
Money is also available from
Sweeney Ridge Equestrian to help run
nonprofits hosting activities at the
ranch, said Davis.
For those looking to use the property without accessing the horses,
opportunities exist as well, she said.
The ranch houses a large barn that is
available for community programs
looking to use it as a dance room, theater, artist studio or other creative
endeavors. A portion of the land could
be used for farming to raise goats or
chickens. The property could also
grant access to the trails along
Sweeney Ridge for Boy or Girl Scout
troops, hikers, bird watchers, mountain bikers or other educational
groups, she said.
Davis noted equestrian enthusiasts
have faced increasing pressure from
critics who point to horse grazing

and greenhouse gas emissions as

tolls taken on the environment.
As a response, she said Sweeney
Ridge Equestrian is hoping to make
the wide variety of benefits available
through interactions with horses
more accessible to the local community.
There is a real plus to these animals, she said. Its not just a
hobby. There is a real true connection. It is spiritual and holistic.
Beyond the interest in offering the
ranch up to nonprofits, Davis said
there is also space free for to those
who wish to take lessons or lean on
the expertise from the trainers at
Sweeney Ridge Equestrian.
But ultimately, Davis said she
hoped nonprofits with creative
visions for using the unique resources
at the ranch would come forward with
their own ideas.
The goal is to create a large and
varied community of users that are
brought together by their love of the
horses, the outdoors and nature, she
said in an email.

Truck attack kills Israeli soldiers in Jerusalem

By Josef Federman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

JERUSALEM A Palestinian truck driver rammed his

vehicle into a crowd of Israeli soldiers at a popular
Jerusalem tourist spot Sunday, killing four people and
wounding 17 others in the deadliest single attack of more
than a year of Israeli-Palestinian violence.
The attack came at a time of heightened tensions in
Jerusalem, where Palestinians have warned of dire consequences if incoming President Donald Trump follows
through on his promise to move the U.S. Embassy to the
city. The atmosphere among Israelis is also charged following last weeks manslaughter conviction of an Israeli
soldier who fatally shot a wounded Palestinian attacker.
Visiting the attack site, Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu said there was strong evidence the attacker was a
supporter of the Islamic State group and suggested a link to
previous vehicle attacks in Europe.
We know that there is a sequence of terror attacks. There
denitely could be a connection between them, from France
to Berlin and now Jerusalem, he said.
Netanyahu offered no evidence to support the claim.
While Israel has arrested several Palestinians who allegedly traveled to Syria to join IS, the group is not known to
have any serious presence in Israel or the Palestinian areas.
Israel has said that two gunmen who carried out a deadly
attack in Tel Aviv last June were also inspired by IS.

REUTERS

An Israeli soldier hugs her friend near the scene where police
said a Palestinian rammed his truck into a group of Israeli
soldiers.
The attacker, identied as 28-year-old Fadi Qunbar, came
from the Palestinian neighborhood of Jabel Mukaber in
east Jerusalem located near the attack site.
The neighborhood, home to many other past attackers,
has sporadically experienced violent clashes between residents and Israeli security forces. Netanyahu ordered a clo-

sure of the neighborhood. Israeli media said his Security

Cabinet decided to destroy the attackers home and withhold the release of his body.
Relatives and neighbors said Qunbar, a father of four,
espoused an ultra-conservative version of Islam, known as
Salasm, and had no known ties to militant groups.
Salasm is split into peaceful and violent streams, with the
latter promoting ideas that are close to those of IS.
Neither IS nor any other group claimed Sundays attack.
The vast majority of attacks in the current wave of violence
were carried out by individuals without links to militant
groups.
A woman who identied herself as Qunbars sister told
journalists that his wife had asked him to come home for
lunch, but that he turned her down because he had work to
do. She said police had arrested the attackers parents, wife
and two brothers.
The attack occurred along a popular overlook in the
Armon Hanatziv neighborhood that provides a sweeping
vista of the city.
The Israeli military said the soldiers had been participating in an educational trip. It said three cadets and an ofcer
were killed, and 17 others were wounded. Three of the dead,
including the ofcer, were female.
Security camera footage broadcast on Israeli TV stations
showed the truck barreling at a high speed into a crowd of
soldiers gathered next to a bus. The truck then quickly
backed up before the driver was shot dead.

Iran leader whose life

mirrored nations dies
By Nasser Karimi
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

TEHRAN, Iran Irans former President Akbar Hashemi

Rafsanjani died Sunday after a decades-long career in the ruling elite, where his moderate views were not always welcome but his cunning guided him through revolution, war
and the countrys turbulent politics.
The political survivors life spanned the trials of Irans
modern history, from serving as a close aide to Ayatollah
Ruhollah Khomeini during the 1979 Islamic Revolution to
acting as a go-between in the Iran-Contra deal. He helped
found Irans contested nuclear program, but later backed the
accord with world powers to limit it in exchange for sanctions relief.
Rafsanjani, who showed ruthlessness while in power but later pushed
for reforms, died Sunday after suffering a heart attack, state media reported. He was 82.
Iranian media said he was hospitalized north of Tehran earlier Sunday,
where doctors performed CPR in vain
for nearly an hour and a half before
declaring him dead.
Akbar Rafsanjani
A female state newscasters voice
quivered as she read the news.
Rafsanjani, after a life full of restless efforts in the path
of Islam and revolution, had departed for lofty heaven, she
said.
Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei called Rafsanjani
an old friend and comrade, and said his loss is difficult
and life-decreasing. The government announced three days
of mourning, and a funeral was expected to be held on
Tuesday.
Rafsanjani served as president from 1989 to 1997, during
a period of significant changes in Iran. At the time, the country was struggling to rebuild its economy after a devastating
1980s war with Iraq, while also cautiously allowing some
wider freedoms, as seen in Irans highly regarded film and
media industry.
He also oversaw key developments in Irans nuclear program
by negotiating deals with Russia to build an energy-producing
reactor in Bushehr, which finally went into service in 2011
after long delays. Behind the scenes, he directed the secret purchase of technology and equipment from Pakistan and elsewhere.
In an interview published in October, Rafsanjani acknowledged the 1980-1988 war with Iraq, which killed some 1 million people, led Iran to consider seeking nuclear weapons.
Our basic doctrine was always for a peaceful nuclear application, but it never left our mind that if one day we should be
threatened and it was imperative, we should be able to go
down the other path, he said. But we never went.
The cleric managed to remain within Irans ruling theocracy after leaving office, but an attempt to return to the presidency in 2005 was dashed by the electoral victory of the
more hard-line Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Rafsanjani was later
branded a dissenter by many conservatives for his harsh criticism of the crackdown that followed Ahmadinejads re-election in 2009.
But after years of waning influence, Rafsanjani was handed an unexpected political resurgence with the 2013 victory
of a fellow moderate, Hassan Rouhani, giving him an insider role in efforts that would culminate in the 2015 nuclear
agreement.
