Charities see increased demand for assistance

Cost of living hikes drives local need higher than years past
By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
As families grappling with the skyrocketing cost of living locally face

tough decisions splitting limited
resources during the holiday season,
charity organizations are receiving
more calls for assistance.
Second Harvest Food Bank and
Samaritan House have seen heightened
demand for help with meals, housing,
health care and other services than
years past, which officials attributed
to the housing crisis plaguing San
Mateo County.
Some residents
are struggling to
pay their rent and
bills, while still
being able to afford
food, clothing and
other
essentials
goods, as the local
Bart Charlow economy roars and
the cost of living
soars, said Samaritan House CEO Bart
Charlow.
So many people are being squeezed
mercilessly by housing prices, they
are having to make tough decisions.

Presents for children go way down on
the list, he said. It is very, very difficult for people right now.
Tami Cardenas, vice president of
Development and Marketing at Second
Harvest Food Bank, agreed with many
of those sentiments.
Second Harvest has seen a troubling jump in the amount of people
receiving food, she said.
Demand for meals from the food
bank which serves San Mateo and
Santa Clara counties has increased by

California:
Ease water
use targets
Regulators propose relaxing
water conservation efforts
By Scott Smith
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
For 29-year-old Samar Tanvir, escaping an abusive relationship means

raising a child with disabilities alone
while working two jobs and struggling
to afford a place to live.
Tanvirs 8-year-old son Ibrahim is
unable to speak and requires a wheelchair to get around, but he lights up a

Nesbit Elementary School Principal

Monday proposed relaxing water conservation targets that have required communities statewide to cut use by 25 percent

and those using new sources, such as
recycled water and a recently built desalination plant, could
be eligible for reduced conservation requirements.
The states overall water conservation target could come
at a cost, dropping to about 22 percent if all of the 411 eligible water agencies apply for adjustments, said Max
Gomberg, climate and conservation manager for the State
Water Resources Control Board.
But Gomberg said Californians have created a buffer,
going beyond the target and using 27 percent less water.
The moves come in response to some community leaders
who have argued that strict conservation targets assigned to
individual communities were unfair.
For right now, drought conditions are persisting,
Gomberg said. Were proposing modest changes.
California is in its driest four-year span on record, and

Home burglaries prompt informational meeting

By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The most recent string of San Carlos

home burglaries is prompting law enforcement to host a community meeting highlighting how residents can protect themselves and discuss a new multi-agency task
force aimed at deterring property crimes.
A town hall meeting will be held Jan. 6 to
discuss trends and initiatives to combat residential thefts, such as the countys
Burglary Enforcement Suppression Team.
Although the number of home burglaries
reported in San Carlos throughout 2015
hasnt spiked as compared to statistics over
the last decade, the recent string of crimes
near Crestview Drive in the west side of the
city has community members concerned,
said San Mateo County Sheriffs Deputy Sal
Zuno.
Greg Rothaus, captain of the San Carlos
Bureau of the San Mateo County Sheriffs
Office, will lead the discussion thats open
to the community.
Over the past 10 years, the city has had
an average of 41 residential burglaries and
there have been 43 so far this year. The
highest was in 2006 when 56 crimes were
reported and the lowest was in 2007 when
only 30 homes were broken into, according
to a report from Rothaus.
In San Carlos, the burglaries are not evenly spread out over the course of a year with
times when five to six homes are hit over a
week, while in other instances the city may
experience only one to two over the course
of months, according to the report.
Obviously this time of year, residential
burglaries tend to increase, Zuno said
referring to the holidays when criminals are

more likely to see presents left in a car or a
home where the owners are out of town.
But overall for the last 10 years, the numbers are consistent.
Still, authorities created a new task force
to help combat property crimes. While not
wanting to reveal too many of their techniques, Zuno and Burlingame police Capt.
Mike Matteucci said a number of departments throughout the county joined the
Burglary Enforcement Suppression Team.
Initiated
by
Burlingame
Police
Department in response to an uptick in
vehicle burglaries, the efforts have spread
with numerous other cities and the Sheriffs
Office participating through the San Mateo
County Police Chiefs and Sheriffs
Association.
Without going into extensive detail,
some techniques include saturating different
areas with uniformed and plain-clothed officers, using automatic license plate readers,
having officers on bicycles to patrol
neighborhoods, using the Sheriffs Office
airplane equipped with thermal infrared
radar and deploying police volunteers.
The suspects dont know any borders,
Matteucci said. Each city has limited
resources so I think were doing a better job
if we work cooperatively.
Zuno agreed, noting criminals typically
come from out of the area and local detectives are making progress by sharing information with other jurisdictions.
These incidents are happening throughout the community, throughout the state.
Criminals tend to travel, they dont see
borders, they travel wherever they go. So
the information our investigators have,
they share it statewide and nationally. So

they have some strong leads theyre following, Zuno said.
Within San Carlos, the burglaries are not
isolated to a particular area and one recent
arrestee said she and her crew targeted the
city and Palo Alto because of the perceived
affluence of the community, according to
Rothaus report.
The Sheriffs Office considers these property crimes serious as suspects have the
potential to become violent if unexpectedly confronted by a victim, according to the
report.
Matteucci and Zuno said its important for
residents to not make themselves easy targets.
Some tips include avoid leaving packages or mail outside for extended periods,
always locking all doors and windows,
keeping curtains closed or items out of
sight, investing in security systems like
alarms and cameras, getting to know your
neighbors and perhaps most importantly
reporting suspicious behavior immediately.
The biggest thing is just to be aware of
whats going on in your neighborhood and
if you see someone suspicious, to call the
police department right away. Dont try to
explain it away. When we investigate,
youd be surprised how many noticed a suspicious car parked outside during the burglary, but didnt want to bother police,
Matteucci said. Wed rather go out to 100
false alarms just for that one time.
The San Carlos meeting begins 7 p.m.

600 Elm St.

Raymond Chow says

police hounded him
By Sudhin Thanawala
SAN FRANCISCO The defendant at the

center of an organized crime investigation in
San Franciscos Chinatown acknowledged
dealing drugs and getting involved in a street
gang during testimony Monday, but said he
later renounced criminal activity and had
nothing to do with a 2006 murder.
Raymond Shrimp Boy Chow took the
stand for the first time in the racketeering
and murder trial against him in federal court.
Prosecutors say Chow had Allen Leung,
the leader of a Chinese fraternal group with
criminal ties, killed and that Chow then took
over the group. Chow then ran an enterprise
that engaged in drug trafficking, money
laundering and the sale of stolen cigarettes
and alcohol, according to prosecutors.
The lengthy investigation included an
undercover FBI agent posing as a member of
an East Coast crime syndicate. It led to the
indictment of more than

two dozen people and the
conviction of a state senator.
Chow appeared relaxed
as he testified in a
maroon blazer under questioning from his attorney.
Raymond Chow He said he ran an
escort service, dealt
cocaine and was involved in a street gang,
but upon his release from prison in 1989
for a second time, he got jobs at a supermarket and law office. That did not last,
however, as he continued to face scrutiny
from police, he said. San Francisco police
talked to his employers, and the FBI picked
him up on suspicion of involvement in a
jewelry heist.
Chow testified in English, though its not
his first language and he has used a translator
during other court hearings.
Man runs across I-280 while

attempting to avoid arrest
A man who was arrested after allegedly
leading deputies on a car chase then running across all lanes of Interstate 280
Thursday night, said he fled because he
wanted to spend Christmas with his family, according to prosecutors.
Francisco Arreola, a 24-year-old East
Palo Alto resident, pleaded not guilty
Monday to two felonies and four misdemeanors related to the incident that began
near Redwood City around 11 p.m., said
District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe.
Deputies first encountered Arreola speeding in a Nissan pickup truck west on
Woodside Road near Alameda de las Pulgas.
Arreola failed to pull over and sped off
toward Interstate 280 before ditching the
car and running into the woods, Wagstaffe
said.
Sheriffs deputies set up a perimeter on
the west side of the freeway, but Arreola
managed to break through and ran across
both northbound and southbound lanes of
Interstate 280, Wagstaffe said.
Law enforcement sought the help of
local firefighters who brought a thermal
imaging device used to find Arreola hiding
in the woods, Wagstaffe said.
A search of his person and vehicle produced a shaved key, which are notoriously
known for starting Nissan cars, and a
stolen check tied to a Sunnyvale car burglary. The check appears to have been
intentionally written out for $950 just
$1 under what would have qualified as a
felony based on Proposition 47, Wagstaffe
said.
Arreola was also charged with stealing
the truck out of East Palo Alto and had a
$25,000 warrant out of Santa Cruz County
for possessing stolen property, Wagstaffe
said.
When asked why he ran and made the daring move across the major freeway, Arreola
allegedly said he wanted to spend the holiday with his family and not in jail,
Wagstaffe said.

Man arrested for assaulting
public, government employees
A man with long-term mental health
problems and a lengthy criminal record
pleaded not guilty to two felonies and
eight misdemeanors after allegedly attacking eight people last week.
Benjamin Montes, a 34-year-old
Redwood City transient, appeared in court
Friday and was assigned a public defender,
according to prosecutors.
Montes was arrested after he allegedly
began randomly attacking people near
Hoover Park in Redwood City around 1:25
p.m. Wednesday. He assaulted five people
by punching the victims, including a
SamTrans bus driver and an employee of
the citys Parks and Recreation
Department, according to prosecutors.
When police arrived, Montes allegedly
punched an officer in the face and fought
another until he was subdued by a stun gun.
During the struggle, he spit at officers and
spit blood on an assisting firefighter,
according to prosecutors. After arriving at
the hospital, he assaulted another officer
prompting police to use a stun gun to subdue him again, according to prosecutors.
Montes was arraigned Friday for his
aggressive behavior toward both passersby as well as public agency employees
from the city, county and transit authority.
District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe said
its unclear what prompted the attacks, but
Montes has a lengthy record for previous
incidents and was at one time under the
conservatorship of the county due to his
mental health status.
He has been charged with two felonies
related to the attacks on police, five misdemeanor counts of battery for hitting private citizens on the streets and three misdemeanor charges for hitting the bus driver, police and firefighter, Wagstaffe said.
Montes is in custody on $50,000 bail
and a preliminary hearing is scheduled for
Dec. 30.

Lindsey Graham ends his

16 presidential campaign
By Laurie Kellman and Bill Barrow
WASHINGTON Republican Sen.

Lindsey Graham ended his 2016 campaign for president Monday, saying he
remains committed to working to
achieve security for the American people and helping the GOP expand its
base.
With just over a month to go until
voting begins, the South Carolina
senator the only candidate from one
of the four early voting states posted a video telling supporters we have
run a campaign we can be proud of. He
noted his emphasis on national security and improving the nations balance
sheet, saying he put forth bold and
practical solutions to big problems.
In a taped interview broadcast later
on CNN, the 60-year-old senator
warned that the election is not about
2016 but instead an election for the
heart and soul of the Republican
Party. He warned that the current GOP
front-runner Donald Trump cannot
defeat a Democrat like Hillary Clinton
without some major adjustments.
Having mustered little support in the
polls, Grahams exit will not have an
immediate effect on the race in the
final stretch before the Feb. 1 Iowa
caucuses and the Feb. 9 New

Hampshire primary. But his decision
could produce a ripple effect in his
home state, which follows New
Hampshire with a Feb. 20 primary.
Graham will likely be a highly soughtafter endorsement for those still in the
race, though hes given no indication
of who he would back.
By ending his campaign, Graham
deprives the GOP field of perhaps its
most aggressive military hawk he
said even before the June 1 launch of

his campaign that more American servicemen and women will die in Iraq
and eventually in Syria to protect our
homeland. That was often a stark contrast to other candidates who joined
Graham in blasting President Barack
Obama as weak in his approach to
Islamic State militants, yet hedged
when it came to questions of ground
forces.
Regime change debate creates unusual 2016 alliances

By Julie Pace
WASHINGTON Americas 2016

presidential candidates are split on promoting regime change in the Middle
East, but not along the usual party
lines.
GOP contenders Donald Trump, Ted
Cruz and Rand Paul are finding common
cause with Democrats Bernie Sanders
and Martin OMalley in suggesting its
better to keep authoritarian leaders
including Syrias Bashar Assad in
power as a bulwark against extremism.
Democratic
front-runner
Hillary
Clinton is aligned with Republican
contenders Marco Rubio, Jeb Bush and
Chris Christie in casting Assads ouster
as key to defeating the Islamic State.
The divide reflects a nation still grappling with its role in the world after
President George W. Bushs eight years

in office, when regime change was at
the center of U.S. foreign policy, and
trying to decide how best to combat the
rising threat posed by IS. The twisted
alliances among the candidates raise
the prospect of a political role-reversal
in the general election, in which the
Democratic nominee could be more
hawkish than the Republican.
Cruz is among the most vocal in challenging the idea that the U.S. should
depose dictators or support others
efforts to do so to fight extremists in
the Muslim world.
We need to learn from history, Cruz
said in last weeks Republican debate.
Obama, Clinton and far too many
Republicans want to topple Assad. The
Syrian president is a bad man, he
added, but so too was Libyan leader
Moammar Gadhafi, whom the U.S.
helped overthrow in 2011. And Cruz

noted that Gadhafi and former Egyptian
strongman Hosni Mubarak assisted the
U.S. in fighting terrorists.
Sanders, the independent senator
from Vermont, echoed that sentiment in
Saturdays Democratic debate, saying it
is relatively easy for a powerful nation
like America to overthrow a dictator.
What is very hard, he said, is to predict
the unintended consequences and the
turmoil and the instability that follows
after you overthrow that dictator.
Much of the campaign discussion
centers on Assad, who has presided over
a nearly five-year civil war thats left at
least 250,000 thousand people dead,
spurred the worst refugee crisis in
Europe since World War II and created a
vacuum allowing Islamic State militants to seize territory throughout Syria
and neighboring Iraq.

California couple charged with
murder in death of two children
SAN FRANCISCO Prosecutors on Monday charged a
couple with first-degree murder in the death of two young
children who suffered severe abuse, torture and neglect
before their bodies were found in a plastic bin at a rented
California storage facility.
Tami Joy Huntsman and her 17-year-old companion were
charged after the bodies of the 3-year-old girl and 6-year-old
boy were found in the storage unit in Redding on Dec. 13,
Monterey County District Attorney Dean Flippo said.
The suspects were arrested Dec. 11 and initially charged
with torture and abuse of a 9-year-old girl who was found
with broken bones huddled in the backseat of an SUV about
300 miles north of Salinas, where the suspects had lived
until recently.
The girl remains hospitalized.
Investigators believe the younger children died on Nov.
27 while in the care of the 39-year-old Huntsman in the
Salinas apartment. Her relationship to the children
remained unclear.
Prosecutors also charged the couple with three counts
each of torture involving the deprivation of food, shelter
and clothing for at least year.
Both suspects remained jailed.

Obama says Trump exploiting

blue-collar fears in campaign
By Darlene Superville
HONOLULU President Barack Obama,

in a broadside against the leading
Republican presidential candidate, says billionaire Donald Trump is exploiting the
fears that working-class men in particular
have about the economy and stagnant
wages.
In a year-end interview with NPR News,
Obama said demographic changes combined
with the economic stresses people have
been feeling because of the financial crisis,
technology and globalization have made life
harder for those who rely on a steady paycheck.
Particularly blue-collar men have had a
lot of trouble in this new economy, where
they are no longer getting the same bargain
that they got when they were going to a factory and able to support their families on a
single paycheck, Obama said in the radio
interview released Monday. You combine
those things and it means that there is
going to be potential anger, frustration,
fear. Some of it justified but just misdirected.
I think somebody like Mr. Trump is taking advantage of that. Thats what hes
exploiting during the course of his campaign, Obama said.
Trump has called for temporarily banning
Muslims from entering the U.S., and has
made inflammatory comments about
Hispanics and others.
Obama sat for the interview last Thursday
after returning from the National
Counterterrorism Center, where he received a
pre-holiday briefing on potential threats to
the homeland. He said publicly after the
briefing that his national security advisers
had no specific, credible information suggesting a potential attack against the home-
land.
Obama
left
Washington on Friday
for two weeks of vacation
in his native Hawaii.
Obama told NPR News
that criticism of his strategy to combat the
Islamic State group was
warranted and that the
administrations failure
Donald Trump to keep the public
informed about his strategy for countering the IS group has contributed to the publics fears that not enough
is being done to protect them.
I think that there is a legitimate criticism
of what Ive been doing and our administration has been doing in the sense that we
havent, you know, on a regular basis I think
described all the work that weve been doing
for more than a year now to defeat ISIL,
Obama said, using an acronym for IS.
The group claimed responsibility for an
attack in mid-November that killed 130 people in Paris.
U.S. authorities blamed the shooting
deaths of 14 people at a holiday party in San
Bernardino, California, earlier this month
on a radicalized married couple who pledged
allegiance to an IS leader in a Facebook post
after they had opened fire.
Both attacks heightened fears of terrorism
in the U.S. and led to widespread criticism of
Obamas response.
If people dont know about the thousands
of airstrikes that have been launched against
IS targets since August 2014, or arent aware
that towns in Iraq once controlled by the
group have been retaken, then they might
feel as if theres not enough of a response,
Obama said.
And so part of our goal here is to make
sure that people are informed about all the
actions that were taking, he said.

KABUL, Afghanistan A suicide attacker

rammed an explosives-laden motorcycle
into a joint NATO-Afghan patrol Monday,
killing six American troops in the deadliest
attack on international forces since August.
Two U.S. troops and an Afghan were wounded.
Th e s o l di ers were t arg et ed as t h ey

A U. S. o ffi ci al co n fi rmed t h at s i x

The official was not authorized to discuss
the incident publicly so spoke on condi-
tion of anonymity.
Our heartfelt sympathies go out to the
families and friends of those affected in this
tragic incident, especially during this holiday season, U.S. Army Brig. Gen. William
Shoffner, head of public affairs at NATOs
Resolute Support base in the Afghan capital
Kabul, said in a statement.
In New York, Police Commissioner
William Bratton said Monday that a New
York City police detective, Joseph Lemm,
was one of the six American killed in the
attack.
Lemm was a 15-year-old veteran of the
New York Police Department and worked in
the Bronx Warrant Squad. Bratton says
Lemm served in the U.S. National Guard and,
while a member of the police force, he had
been deployed twice to Afghanistan and
once to Iraq. He leaves behind a wife and
three children.
MADRID Spain entered a governing

void Monday, facing weeks or months of
uncertainty over what political party or parties will lead the country following a national election that fragmented the status quo. The
result was so blurred that a German government spokeswoman said it was impossible to
determine who deserved congratulations.
Although the ruling right-of-center Popular
Party won the most votes, it failed to retain
its parliamentary majority and will try to cobble together a coalition or minority government.
But thats unlikely, analysts say, because
the party wouldnt get enough seats in the
lower house of parliament even by allying
itself with the new business-friendly
Ciudadanos party that came in fourth place
and is seen as the most likely ideological
partner.
The ambiguous outcome pushed Spains
benchmark stock index down 3.6 percent in
Madrid as investors fretted over the possibility of a governing alliance between the
Socialist Party and the countrys new far-left
Podemos party, led by pony-tailed political
science professor Pablo Iglesias.
That sort of combination could lead to a
government that would try to roll back highly unpopular austerity measures imposed over
the last four years by Prime Minister Mariano
Rajoy.
He vowed after the vote to try to form a government, but gave few details on how he
would do so after winning just 123 seats in the
350-member lower house of parliament.
Rajoy tweeted he would try to form a stable
government in the general interest of all
Spaniards. He then told reporters Monday
night he would initiate talks soon to do so,
without naming which parties he would seek
support from.
German
government
spokeswoman
Cristiane Wirtz told reporters Monday that
Spaniards deserve congratulations for voter
participation of 73.2 percent, up from the
68.9 percent turnout in 2011 that gave Rajoy
a 189-seat parliamentary majority.

Oyster Point flooding requires a long-term plan

By Sabrina Brennan
ersistent ooding caused by landll

subsidence and sea level rise has
occurred at Oyster Point for the past
decade or more. This week a ve-day King
Tide event will overtop the Oyster Point
Landll cap and ood Oyster Point Marina.
The Oyster Point Landll is a closed,
unlined Class III landll in operation from
1956 to 1970. Prior to 1956, what would
become the landll primarily consisted of
tidal wetlands.
Between 1956 and 1970, the city of
South San Francisco leased the site
(approximately 57 acres) to South San
Francisco Scavenger Company.
In 1956, Scavenger began disposal operations at the landll. Initially, municipal
solid waste was burned. This activity ended
in 1957 following the enactment of laws
prohibiting open air burning of rubbish.
To address Bay Area air quality regulations,
South City and Scavenger established a
solid waste disposal site on the submerged
lands just east of the original Oyster Point.
The landll was developed in three phases. Filling began in 1957 and was completed by late 1961. Scavenger placed waste
directly into the wetlands and used a wire
fence to control the discharge of solids
into the Bay due to tidal action. Waste disposal operations eventually resulted in the
relocation of the shoreline approximately
3,000 feet to the east of the pre-landll
shoreline.
The volume of waste in the landll is
approximately 2.5 million cubic yards and
total tonnage of this material is approximately 1.4 million tons. This volume of
waste would cover a football eld almost to
the height of the Empire State Building.
Beginning in 1961, the landll received
liquid industrial waste for disposal. The
types of liquid waste included paints, thinners and coagulated solvent sludge. No
records describing the

construction of liquid
waste sumps have been
found. The total volume
is estimated at nearly a
million gallons.
Consistent with landll practices at that time,
no liner was installed at
the site. Waste disposal
design features such as liners, cellular division of waste and leachate collection systems were not installed. Instead, the waste
materials were placed directly onto the Bay
mud. To contain the solid waste from contact with state waters, Bay mud berms were
constructed around portions of the waste
disposal areas in 1961, 1962 and 1964.
However, there is no data to suggest that
the industrial waste sumps were ever constructed with additional berms or dikes to
control the migration of liquid wastes.
In 1962, a small craft harbor was constructed along the north shore of the landll. Upon completion of the disposal operations, various landll closure activities
took place through the late 1980s. The
closed landll then became the site for
development of the Oyster Point
Marina/Park.
The landll is currently owned by the
city of South San Francisco and is operated
as a marina, ferry terminal, yacht club,
hotel and open space that includes the Bay
Trail. The city of South San Francisco is
responsible for landll maintenance; the
San Mateo County Harbor District manages marina operations pursuant to a Joint
Powers Agreement that terminates in
2026.
South San Francisco hopes to redevelop
the site. The 2015 Semiannual Oyster
Point Landll Report states that a project
would include excavation of landll materials at the former Oyster Point Landll and
relocation of these materials off site. The
Guest
perspective
landll cap would be upgraded to meet the
current requirements of Title 27 of the
California Code of Regulations with the
approval of the Regional Water Quality
Control Board and San Mateo County
Environmental Health Division.
Where is the wisdom in developing the
site without rst having a long-term solution for ooding? Health and safety concerns include ooding from landll subsidence and sea level rise, saltwater breaching the landll cap, water intrusion into
underground electrical facilities, methane
gas explosions and liquefaction.
On Dec. 9, 2015, Bruce H. Wolfe, executive ofcer of the San Francisco Bay
Regional Water Quality Control Board sent
the city of South San Francisco an enforcement letter regarding recurrent ooding
overtopping the landll cap. South City
has until Jan. 30, 2016, to provide the
water quality board with a short-term ood
protection plan, and a long-term plan is
due May 30, 2016.
A long-term management solution that is
both scally and environmentally responsible should consider a proactive plan for
managed retreat and bring the site up to current state regulatory standards.

Mateo County Harbor District Board of

In her Dec. 14 column, Time for a new
GOP, Ms. Lempert is reprimanding
Republicans for abandoning the way of the
Grand Old Party and I wonder: didnt she
mixed up the parties having both of them
in her family? It is so easy to nd out it
was the Democratic Party that abandoned
the old moderate ways, turning drastically
to the left, while Republicans, the conservatives, as the name suggests, stayed more
or less the course. I do not remember Jack
Kennedy proposing open borders, uncontrolled immigration, legalizing drugs,
sanctuary cities or abortion for any reason.
He lowered taxes and said ask not what the
country can do for you, but what you can do
for the country, an idea now subject to
scorn by Progressives. FDR went way
beyond what Donald Trump suggested about
Muslims he imprisoned more than

o as much good as you can, as

long as you can, any way that
you can, wherever you can, for
anyone you can, until you no longer can.
Dr. Carolle Jean-Murat.
Peace on Earth and goodwill toward
mankind is one of the most common
refrains during the holiday season. The
phrase comes from Luke 2:14 a biblical
verse that reminds us that humanity should
always strive for a more peaceful existence
on Earth through seless acts of love for
one another. One of our nations rst and
most renowned Christmas carols, I Heard
the Bells on Christmas Day, also reects
the sentiments in
this verse.
While many
know the
Christmas carol,
few know the
courageous story
behind its lyrics.
The sonnet originates from a
poem written by
world-renowned
American poet
Henry
Longfellow in
Jonathan Madison
1863.
Longfellow wrote the poem at a time when
tragedy plagued both his family and the
nation. In April 1861, the Confederate
army ignited the rst battle of the Civil
War. In that same month, Longfellows wife
burned to death in the midst of a Civil War
battle. Just days later, Longfellows son
suffered severe battle wounds that nearly
claimed his life. Longfellow attempts to
express his indescribable pain in the carol,
saying, In despair I bowed my head.
Darkness, it seemed for Longfellow, would
have no end.
By 1863, there was still no indication of
the war coming to an end. Union General
and later President Ulysses S. Grant would
not successfully force Southern General
Robert E. Lees surrender to end the war until
April 9, 1865. The lyrics in the poem, however, tell of a different future. The lyrics
describe a peaceful realm beyond the Civil
War that claimed the lives of more than
350,000. Longfellows words envision a
nation no longer burdened with the plague
of racism or a demand for slavery.
Longfellow makes several cries for peace on
Earth and goodwill toward mankind.
In spite of the bitterness and violence that
claimed Longfellows family and his nation,
he strived to see a world with a future of
peace. He strived to see a nation of people
that did their best to uplift one another in
spite of their vast differences, rather than
soiling the Earth with the blood of hatred
and bone of prejudice. Two years later,
Longfellow was fortunate enough to witness
the end of that historic war. Eventually, he
managed to nd peace once again.
Longfellows story reminds us that, if we
cannot see a vision of peace and good will
toward mankind in our future, we certainly
cannot achieve it. We must all strive to see a
world much more peaceful than the one in
which we can physically see. With that
vision, we can implement the means of
goodwill toward others to accomplish it.
This holiday season, I would encourage
you to think of those you know who may be
suffering. It might be a family member, a
friend or a homeless person seeking to nd
shelter. I encourage each of you to seek out
your fellow citizen to assist them however
possible. The more we can lift up others
who are struggling, the closer we will nd
ourselves at a peaceful existence.
We glean the same message from worldrenowned poet John Donne, who said that
no man is an island. This symbolizes the
belief that the whole of humanity is inextricably linked with one another our lives,
our moral consciousness and our fates. The
notion that no man is an island is proved
time and again in the face of even the most
devastating circumstances.
We should recognize the concept of good
will toward mankind most during the holiday season. No matter how dark and desolate
our world may appear, we should strive each
and every day to see a future by which we
can achieve a lasting peace.

again.
The Dow Jones industrial average
added 123.07 points, or 0.7 percent,
to 17,251.62. The Standard & Poors

Investors are still working through
the market impact of the Federal
Reserves decision last week to raise
interest rates for the first time in nearly a decade. Markets rose in response
to the Fed finally ending the uncertainty around its decision last Wednesday,
but then fell sharply later in the week
when traders sold shares to book profits. The Dow dropped 2. 1 percent
Friday.
Mondays buying was partly a recovery from last weeks drop, a common
response to a sharp sell-off.

Facebook to enable viewing

of Apples animated photos
By Anick Jesdanun
NEW YORK The latest iPhones

come with the ability to turn still
images into video just like magic
but sharing options had been limited to
other Apple apps.
Thats changing as Facebook, one of
the leading forums for photo sharing,
adds Apples Live Photos feature to
Facebooks iPhone and iPad app.
Facebook will start offering it Monday
to a limited number of users initially,
with a broader rollout planned in the
coming weeks. Facebooks support follows a similar move by Yahoos Tumblr
service.
With Live Photos on the iPhone 6s

and 6s Plus, every still shot is accompanied by a three-second video, with
sound. For instance, you can snap a
shot of your kid blowing out birthday
candles and get video showing the
flame going out as everyone sings
Happy Birthday.
The phone automatically records
video in the background when the camera app is open. The recording is immediately discarded if you do nothing.
When you snap a shot, the phone saves
a second and a half of video leading to
that shot and continues recording until
you get three seconds in all.
Why not just take video? You might
not know ahead of time when youll
encounter a scene lending itself to

video. With Live Photos, you always
get the video option unless you turn
the feature off.
But sharing had been limited to certain Apple apps such as the texting
app Messages, but not Mail.
With tools Apple is making available
to third parties, sharing can now be
done through Facebook and Tumblr,
too. Your friend merely needs to tap and
hold the photo to watch the image animate. The iPhone 6s models are required
for creating Live Photos, but viewing
can also be done on older iPhones and
iPads with the latest operating system.
On Android and Web browsers, you get
only the still images.
Feds require consumer warnings about older Java software

By Brandon Bailey
SAN FRANCISCO PC users will see

more warnings about the dangers of
keeping outdated software on their
machines, under a legal settlement
negotiated by tech giant Oracle and regulators
at
the Federal
Trade
Commission.
The FTC says Oracle Corp. deceived
consumers for several years by promis-
ing that updating their Java software

would keep them safe from malware and
hacking attacks. Until last year, the
FTC says, the update tool provided by
Oracle did not remove some older versions of Java, which meant PCs were
still vulnerable.
Many consumers arent aware they use
Java, which comes pre-installed on
many PCs and helps with the operation
of many web-based functions, including
online calculators, games, chatrooms
and even viewing 3D images. The FTC

estimates Java can be found on more
than 850 million PCs.
Oracle was aware since 2010 that older
versions of Java had security flaws that
left their users vulnerable to malicious
attacks, according to the FTC. But earlier update procedures installed a new version of the program without removing
the older ones. Oracle later changed its
Java update tool to make it remove the
most recent version, the FTC says.

body for eight years for unethical conduct,
Sepp Blatter wont give up the presidency
of his beloved FIFA without a fight.
I will fight. I will fight until the end,
Blatter said Monday at a news conference
that started 90 minutes after he and former
protege Michel Platini were each banned by
FIFAs ethics committee.
It was a stunning removal of world soccers most powerful leaders over a $2 million payment by FIFA to Platini, the president of European soccers ruling body
UEFA. The payment is also the subject of a
criminal investigation in Switzerland.
Im sad. It cant go on this way. Its not

Woodson to retire after 18th season

By Josh Dubow
ALAMEDA Oakland Raiders safety

Charles Woodson announced Monday he
will retire following his 18th NFL season,
ending a career that included a Heisman
Trophy, a Super Bowl title and numerous
other honors.
Woodson said he realized late last month
that he couldnt play another season and
wanted to announce his decision before
playing his final home game Thursday night
against San Diego.
I felt it was only right

that Raiders fans, my
fans, fans that have

know that this Thursday
night would be the last
time in the Coliseum I
would be able to run out

at a news conference.
Woodson is one of the most accomplished
defensive backs to play the game, ranking
fifth all-time with 65 interceptions and tied

for first with Rod Woodson and Darren
Sharper with 13 defensive touchdowns.
He won the AP Defensive Rookie of the
Year award in 1998, AP Defensive Player of
the Year in 2009 and is a three-time, firstteam All Pro selection.
He is still playing at a high level at age
39, despite dealing with a shoulder injury he
sustained in the season opener and forced
him out for a few plays Sunday after a hard
hit on former teammate Randall Cobb.

ACL.
There is a silver
lining to this
development, however, as the Bulldogs put together an
incredible three-game stretch: one that
saw them eclipse the century mark on the
scoreboard on their way to winning the
Tom Martinez Invitational tournament.
Down two injured starters and we won
the championship. Im so proud of [the
team] for stepping up. A lot of them had
to play positions they didnt even practice, said CSM coach Michelle Warner.

Curry, Spieth and American Pharoah Lions top Saints

up for AP Male Athlete of the Year
By Brett Martel
Triple Crown winner American Pharoah,

NBA MVP Stephen Curry and Masters and
U.S. Open champ Jordan Spieth are the leading candidates for The Associated Press
2015 Male Athlete of the Year award.
The AP announced the top three vote-getters Monday, and the winner will be
announced Saturday.
Stephen Curry captured the MVP and the
hearts and minds of basketball fans around
the globe, who were captivated by the
Golden State star and his toddler daughter,
Riley, as the Warriors won their first championship in 40 years. And Curry has only
gotten better. Even his coach, Steve Kerr,
had no idea Curry with that meticulous
shooting routine could take it to another
level as Golden State set an NBA record for
the best start to a season

at 24-0.
Jordan Spieths accomplishments stand alone,
and they are accentuated
by context. The combined winning score in
all four major championships this year was
Steph Curry 58-under par. Spieth was
54-under par. He was the
first wire-to-wire winner at the Masters in
39 years. He won the U.S. Open to join
Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus and Tiger
Woods as the only players to get halfway to
the Grand Slam since 1960. He was tied for

Monday night.
Detroit (5-9) raced to a 28-3 lead, but Drew
Brees threw a pair of touchdown passes one
shortly after a Lions fumble to help New
Orleans (5-9) pull to 28-20 with about 10 minutes left.
Brees passed for 341 yards and three
touchdowns, becoming only the fourth quarterback to surpass 60,000 yards in a career

Tomsula calls for reeling 49ers to focus

By Janie McCauley
SANTA CLARA This weeks key phrase

for Jim Tomsula: fine focus.
The 49ers coach is calling for improved
concentration to avoid more of the costly
mistakes that have defined this down season
for San Francisco (4-10), which fell behind
by 21 points in the first half and lost 24-14
on Sunday to the playoff-bound Cincinnati
Bengals.
Four turnovers, 11 more penalties, 2 for 14
on third down.
Penalties, negative plays, thats all a lack
of focus, offensive lineman Andrew Tiller
said Monday.
All sides, we can control that. ... Basically
just got to put down the pads. Well do better
on third down if we do better on first and second. Trying to convert on third-and-14, thirdand-15 is hard.
Now, the Niners must go back on the road
with their 1-6 record away from Levis
Stadium to face the Detroit Lions on Sunday.
They lost to the lowly Browns on the road
Dec. 13.
Booed off their home field down 21-0 at
halftime Sunday, some of the 49ers said they
deserved it including wideout Anquan
Boldin: Were not fun to watch right now.
Who wants to sit there and watch that?
Were a team and if we call ourselves a
team, we have a bad game, its our job to
respond, linebacker NaVorro Bowman said.
I challenged the whole team to respond to
the last game we played. When you ask a man
if youre going to rise to the occasion or fold,
you expect to see them rise to the occasion.
Yet, Tomsula has been pushing for such
bounce-back performances all season and
there has been little consistency.

NaVorro Bowman tackles Lions quarterback the last time the 49ers played in Detroit in 2012,
a game the 49ers won 27-19 with a vastly different roster that this seasons.
The first-year coach sounded unaware
Monday about remarks by CBS sideline
reporter Jay Feely during the loss to
Cincinnati pointing to Tomsula possibly
sticking around for 2016.
I had a chance to talk to Al Guido, the COO
for the 49ers beforehand, Feely said Sunday
during the broadcast. They knew what they
were getting into when they had all the defections. (He) said they underestimated a little
bit the impact that it had in the locker room,
specifically the lack of leadership ... But I
think theyre confident with Jim Tomsula
going forward.
What that means for Tomsulas future is
unclear, as CEO Jed York has said he would
address any personnel matters at seasons end
as was the case in late December 2014
when he announced the franchise was parting
ways with Jim Harbaugh after four seasons

and with one year remaining on his contract.
When it comes to the players missing,
Tomsula acknowledges those key absences.
Linebacker Patrick Willis retired, along with
16-year defensive lineman Justin Smith, and
even linebacker Chris Borland after his standout rookie season.
Right tackle Anthony Davis also walked
away from the game following a head injury
late last year perhaps not for good,
though, he said while franchise rushing
leader Frank Gore departed to the Colts in free
agency, while left guard Mike Iupati did the
same and joined the division-leading Arizona
Cardinals.
There was a core group here with Justin and

The NFL on Monday suspended Beckham
for next weekends visit to Minnesota for his

personal foul penalties. The league cited
multiple violations of safety-related playing rules.
Beckham appealed the decision. His case
will be heard by either James Thrash or
Derrick Brooks, the hearing officers jointly
appointed by the NFL and the players union.
Without Beckham, the Giants (6-8) would
be missing their best offensive weapon as
they try to stay alive in the NFC East race.
Beckham and Panthers cornerback Josh
Norman tangled from the beginning of the
Panthers 38-35 victory. At one point,
Beckham delivered a diving helmet-to-helmet hit on Norman while blocking.
There was plenty of pushing, shoving,
swinging, wrestling, late hits and trash talking between them.
Beckham, the 2014 Offensive Rookie of
the Year, has 91 catches for 1,396 yards and
13 touchdowns, tied for the league lead. He
has a base salary of $893,000 and would lose

Red Sox to retire Boggs No. 26

BOSTON Wade Boggs number 26 will

be retired by the Boston Red Sox.
Boston said Monday it will retire the number of the Hall of Fame third baseman during
a ceremony at Fenway Park on May 26,
when the number will be added to the ballparks right-field facade.
Boggs played with Boston from 1982-92

Continued from page 11
was on the field a lot for the Hillsdale Knights
this season and it resulted in one of the greatest seasons in school history.
Taylor wanted to make an impact. The senior running back/defensive back was ready to
step into a front-line position on offense this
season after serving as an understudy the previous two years.
Already a two-year starter on defense,
Taylor wanted to give coach Mike Parodi no
reason to take him off the field on either side
of the ball.
And when Taylor was given a chance to
make an impact, he took advantage all season long. He might have been the ultimate
Swiss Army knife as Taylor was a combination of eight different players: an inside and
outside runner, one who could catch the ball
out of the backfield, or line up at wide receiver and quarterback, defensive back, linebacker
and kick returner.
To put it simply, Taylor did it all this year
and, in the process, earned the Daily Journals
Football Player of the Year honors.
He was a major spoke in every package,
Parodi said.
Taylor finished the season with 2,113 yards

Wade Boggs was the

of the best hitters of his
generation,
Boston

Wade Boggs was his legendary handeye coordination or the
discipline of his highly superstitious routine, his ability to hit line drive after line
drive was remarkable.
No. 21 Cal upsets No. 19 UCLA in 2OT

75 percent of the teams rushing yards and 76
percent of the teams rushing scores. He was
third on the team in catches, hauling in 30
passes for 378 yards and four more scores.
Of the Knights 4,921 yards of offense from
scrimmage, Taylor accounted for 51 percent of
it (2,519).
He also completed both passes he threw
this season of course, both went for touchdowns because that was the kind of season it
was for Taylor and the Knights.
Defensively, he came up with three interceptions, but wasnt afraid to come up to the
line of scrimmage to stuff the run. He went
nose to nose with Silver Creeks 2,000-yard
rusher Dontye James, who had three inches
and 30 pounds on Taylor, in the CCS semifinals. But that didnt stop Taylor from meeting
James at the line of scrimmage and wrestling
the bigger man to the ground.
He also had a knack for making the touchdown-saving tackle, which he did on two
occasions in the Central Coast Section
Division IV championship game against
Aptos, a 41-24 Knights loss.
I just wanted to be big for my teammates,
Taylor said. I wanted to produce. I wanted to
make an impact. I put the rushing (number) at
2,000. That was my goal.
Taylors performance this season helped
lead the Knights to heights not achieved in
more than two decades. After losing their first
game, they won 11 in a row, winning the
Peninsula Athletic Leagues Ocean Division

championship and advancing to their first
CCS title game since 1991.
It makes it easy to call plays when you
have a guy who can do all of the above,
Parodi said. What Cam also did was give us
the ability to fake stuff to him to open up a lot
of other things for us. So many eyeballs were
on him, it opened up a lot of our offense as
well.
At first glance, Taylor looks like an ordinary high school running back. At 5-8, 170
pounds, Taylor would not scare anyone stepping off the bus. But once he got in the game,
it didnt take long for Taylor to strike fear into
opposing defenses.
And Taylor did a lot of it the hard way
right up the gut. He ran between the tackles
like a fullback, often dragging tacklers for an
extra couple yards.
I think he really enjoyed going up there
(into the middle of the pile), Parodi said. I
would say 90 percent of his yards were post
contact.
After softening up the interior of the
defense, Taylor would then start gashing
defenses on the edges. Then, he would be turning screen passes into potential touchdowns.
Down near the goal line? Just line Taylor up at
quarterback and let him finish drives.
I didnt know I was going to be that big a
factor, Taylor said. I didnt know how much
I was going to get the ball. But I wanted to
make a difference.
He was nearly denied that opportunity down
the stretch, however. Midway through the season, Taylor suffered an injury to the big toe on
his right foot one that was later diagnosed
as turf toe, which makes it painful to push
off on the foot.
There were many a week when he did not
fully practice. His feet just couldnt handle
the banging on the ground. There were a few
times during games he would come out
because of his toe, Parodi said. We were fearful he was one play away from blowing his toe
out. What he did, the way he did it, the way he
was feeling, its amazing how good a season
he had.

FIFA
Im fighting to restore my rights.
Already serving a provisional ban, the elected FIFA president and his long-time likely successor were kicked out of the sport just two
months before 209 member federations elect a
new leader.
Platini, a FIFA vice president whose bid to
succeed Blatter on Feb. 26 now looks over,
described the proceedings as a true mockery.
Their offences were judged to be conflict of
interest and disloyalty to FIFA. They avoided
life bans because corruption was not proven.
Platinis lawyer, Thibaud dAles, told The
Associated Press it came as no surprise that the
corruption charge had been dropped.
They used it with the sole purpose of dirtying Michel Platini, although they knew from
the start it was an untenable argument, DAles
said.
Guilty verdicts were expected. So were the
subsequent denials of wrongdoing and promises of urgent appeals to FIFA and the Court of
Arbitration for Sport.
Blatters defiant display was a bonus for
international media summoned to FIFAs former headquarters, just hundreds of meters
(yards) from the new building where he spent
eight hours with four ethics judges last
Thursday.
The choice of venue hinted at a vintage
Blatter show. He did not disappoint.
Blatter invoked Nelson Mandela within a
minute, pointing to the spot where the iconic
South African leader had lifted the World Cup
trophy 11 years ago, when his country was
chosen as the host nation for the 2010 tournament.
Martin Luther Kings I have a dream
speech, the Nobel organization and the United
Nations were also referenced in a spirited 52minute performance as he held court with more
than 100 journalists.
His last words were: Ill be back, thank
you.
Blatters trademark fighting talk was delivered while still sporting a strip of surgical tape
on his right cheek after a minor medical procedure five days earlier.
Blatter made it clear he regretted his current
position but declared he was innocent of any
wrongdoing.
I am not ashamed, he said. I am sorry that
I am a punching ball. I am sorry for football.
... I am now suspended eight years, suspended
eight years. Suspended eight years for what?
Platini was also dismissive of the ethics
commissions work.
He said its proceedings, which included a
hearing earlier this month that he did not
attend, had been orchestrated... by governing
bodies that I know well to tarnish him.

WOODSON Bucks prep for life without injured coach Jason Kidd
Woodson has played 965 defensive snaps
this season and has five interceptions and
three fumble recoveries, ranking second in
the NFL with eight takeaways.
It feels good, he said. There are so
many players who play this sport and other
sports who would like to go out that way,
playing well, doing what they love to do. I
feel very good about the way I performed not
only this year but my whole career.
Despite dealing with several injuries early
in his career, Woodson has played the second-most games of any defensive back in
NFL history with 252.
Only Hall of Famer Darrell Green has more
with 295 and Woodson will join Green in the
Hall in Canton, Ohio, soon.
Woodson said he decided the morning of
the game at Detroit on Nov. 22, that this
season would be it for him.
Honestly, I think physically I could do
it, he said. My body has responded. But
mentally, its not there. Its not going to
happen.
By Genaro C. Armas
ST. FRANCIS, Wis. The Milwaukee

Bucks are about to experience another
unique test.
One of the youngest teams in the league
will have to play without coach Jason Kidd as
he recovers from right hip surgery.
It will be up to Joe Prunty, a longtime NBA
assistant, to lead the Bucks while Kidd is out.
Kidd has said he hopes to return to the office
in a couple weeks, though its unclear when
he might be able to coach in a game again.
There is no doubt that hes still in charge,
though.
Trust me, as soon as soon as we are able to
be talking with him, well definitely be in
touch, Prunty said Monday. He will make his
debut on Wednesday when the Bucks host the
Philadelphia 76ers.
The Bucks said on Monday night that Kidd
was expected to make a full recovery following a successful operation at the Hospital for
Special Surgery in New York, though there is
currently no timetable for his return to the
bench.
Kidd, 42, said the injury

dated to his playing days
and his second stint with
the Dallas Mavericks
between 2008-12.
The pain has been
become chronic, and periodic cortisone shots were
no longer helping, Kidd
said after Sundays game.
Jason Kidd
The pain has been to
the point where I cant function. Ive taken all
the medicine that I can do, Kidd said.
The task of leading the Bucks out of their
early hole in the Eastern Conference falls on
Prunty, who is in his 20th season in the NBA
and his third year working with Kidd. Prunty
assisted Kidd in Brooklyn, then followed
Kidd to Milwaukee when he took the Bucks
job last season.
Prunty said he will continue to call offensive plays, while assistant Sean Sweeney will
draw up the defense.
Our system is our system, Prunty said.
Theres not an intent to make any changes at
all.
Youth, defense and depth were the hall-
marks of the Bucks surprise run to the playoffs last season.

At 11-18, the Bucks have had more problems early on this year. Defense was a problem in the opening weeks, though the team
has been better in that area of late.
Injuries at point guard to Jerryd Bayless and
Greivis Vasquez have sapped the team of
backcourt depth. Three-point shooting has
also been an issue.
The Bucks did welcome back forward Jabari
Parker after he missed last year with a knee
injury. Center Greg Monroe has been a welcome addition, especially offensively, after
arriving as a free agent from Detroit.
The ideal Bucks starting lineup, which
would also include 21-year-oldd Giannis
Antetokounmpo, wouldnt have a player
older than 25.
The teams average age on opening night
was 24 years, 144 days. Only Philadelphia
had a younger roster (23 years, 66 days).
I think if we can put together whole

over Butte. Jajeh buried eight 3s
on her way to a game-high 26
points to lead ve Bulldogs in double gures. Sophia Leon added 17.
Mariah Elzy and Corryne Millett
each recorded doubles. Elzy nished with 16 points and 10
rebounds, while Millett had 12 and
10. Point guard Taylor Cormier
chipped in with 12 points and
eight assists.
As soon as Dom went down,
thats when we took off. Thats
when everyone took the challenge
upon themselves, Warner said.
While the 100-point barrier is a
given in the NBA, it is still a magical number at the high school and
college level. Warner said it wasnt
something she was focused on, but
said her players denitely noticed
lighting the 1 in the hundred

column on the scoreboard.
Its wasnt something I focused
on. But they (the players) were
excited when they saw it. Gabby
hitting eight 3s helps, Warner
said. The girls were really excited
to be home and excited to be playing in front of family and friends.
Being on your home court helps
shooting, since we practice there
all the time. A lot of that added to
(the circumstances).
More important to Warner is to
make sure the team is focused more
on executing than on the score,
knowing that if the team executes,
the points will come. Throughout
the rest of the weekend, it was a
different player stepping up.
Millett went on to record a doubledouble in all three games to earn
tournament MVP honors. Elzy
added a pair of double-doubles as
well, and pulled double-digit
rebounds all three games.
Theyve been getting better
every game at executing. There
are times in every game theyve
executed. But what percentage of
the game are we executing?

Warner said. Saturday, everyone
played. That means were moving
the ball. Were hard to defend if
everyone is scoring.
There are some signicant
changes to the womens college
game and the mens game will be
following suit next season. In
June, the NCAA decided to adopt
the quarter system for games, abandoning the two, 20-minute half
system that has been in place forever. The change brings the college
game more in line with the rest of
the basketball world including
the professional and high school
levels that use quarters.
Now, games will use four, 10minute quarters and teams will
shoot two free throws after the
fth foul of every quarter.

Study: Some cardiac arrest victims ignore symptoms

By Lauran Neergaard
WASHINGTON Sudden cardiac arrest

may not always be so sudden: New research
suggests a lot of people may ignore potentially life-saving warning signs hours,
days, even a few weeks before they collapse.
Cardiac arrest claims about 350,000 U.S.
lives a year. Its not a heart attack, but
worse: The heart abruptly stops beating, its
electrical activity knocked out of rhythm.
CPR can buy critical time, but so few
patients survive that its been hard to tell if
the longtime medical belief is correct that
its a strike with little or no advance warning.
An unusual study that has closely tracked
sudden cardiac arrest in Portland, Oregon,
for over a decade got around that roadblock,
using interviews with witnesses, family and
friends after patients collapse and tracking
down their medical records.
About half of middle-aged patients for
whom symptom information could be found
had experienced warning signs, mostly
chest pain or shortness of breath, in the
month before suffering a cardiac arrest,
researchers reported Monday. The research
offers the possibility of one day preventing
some cardiac arrests if doctors could figure
out how to find and treat the people most at
risk.
By the time the 911 call is made, its
much too late for at least 90 percent of people, said Dr. Sumeet Chugh of the Cedars-
Cardiac arrest is such a public health problem that the Institute of Medicine last summer
urged a national campaign to teach CPR, so more bystanders know how to help.
Sinai Heart Institute in Los Angeles, who
led the study reported in Annals of Internal
Medicine. Theres this window of opportunity that we really didnt know existed.
Importantly, a fraction of patients considered their symptoms bad enough to call
911 before they collapsed, and they were
most likely to survive.
Thats a reminder to the public not to
ignore possible signs of heart trouble in
hopes theyre just indigestion, said
University of Pittsburgh emergency medicine specialist Dr. Clifton Callaway, who
wasnt involved in Mondays study but

praised it.
Chest pain, shortness of breath those
are things you should come in the middle of
the night to the emergency department and
get checked out, said Callaway, who chairs
the American Heart Associations emergency care committee. We strongly recommend you dont try to ride it out at home.
Previous heart attacks, coronary heart
disease, and certain inherited disorders that
affect heartbeat all can increase the risk of
sudden cardiac arrest. People known to be at
high risk may receive an implanted defibrillator to shock the heart back into rhythm.
But cardiac arrest is such a public health
problem that the Institute of Medicine last
summer urged a national campaign to teach
CPR, so more bystanders know how to
help.
Mondays data from the Oregon Sudden
Unexpected Death Study examined records
for nearly 1,100 people ages 35 to 65 who
suffered a cardiac arrest between 2002 and
2012.
For about a quarter of patients,
researchers could find no information about
whether they experienced symptoms
making it impossible to say just how common warning signs really are.
But of the remaining 839 patients, half
had evidence of at least one symptom in the
previous month, the study found. For most,
the symptoms began within 24 hours of
their collapse, although some came a week
before and a few up to a month. Chest pain
was most common in men, while women
were more likely to experience shortness of
breath. Other symptoms included fainting
and heart palpitations.
Chugh had no way to determine symptom
severity. But only 19 percent of patients
called 911 about symptoms, mostly people
with already diagnosed heart disease or who
were having recurrent symptoms. Their survival was 32 percent, compared with 6 percent for other patients. Partly thats because
a fifth of those 911 callers had their cardiac
arrest in the ambulance on the way to the
hospital.

FDA eases restrictions on blood

donations from gay, bisexual men
By Matthew Perrone
WASHINGTON The nations threedecade-old ban on blood donations from gay

and bisexual men was formally lifted
Monday, but major restrictions will continue to limit who can give blood.
The Food and Drug Administration said it
is replacing the lifetime ban with a new policy barring donations from men who have
had sex with a man in the previous year.
While the one-year ban has been criticized
by activists it matches policies in other
countries, including Australia, Japan and the
U.K.
Gay rights activists said the new policy is
a step in the right direction, but falls
short.
It continues to stigmatize gay and bisexual men, said David Stacy, of the Human
Rights Campaign, the largest U.S. gay
CHARITIES
6 percent from this time last year, said
Cardenas.
The food bank has seen a steady increase
of clients since March, which she said has
coincided with an increase in rents residents
throughout the area have faced.
If your rent has increased, that might be
your food budget, she said.
Second Harvest Food Bank served
257,785 people in October, according to
the organizations most recent data, which
is a 55 percent jump from the period of time
prior to the Great Recession.
Despite the general awareness that living
locally is more expensive than it has been
in the past, Cardenas said charitable organ-
rights group. It simply cannot be justified

in light of current scientific research and
updated blood screening technology.
Mondays policy shift was first proposed
in late 2014 and follows years of lobbying
by medical groups and gay rights groups,
who said the previous ban was outdated and
perpetuated negative stereotypes.
Dr. Peter Marks of the FDA said the change
is backed by sound scientific evidence and
will continue to protect our blood supply.
The FDA considered eliminating all
restrictions on blood donations from gay
and bisexual men, but concluded that would
increase the transmission of HIV through
the blood supply by 400 percent.
An increase of that magnitude is not
acceptable, Marks told reporters.
All U.S. blood donations are screened for
HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. But there is
a roughly 10-day window between initial
infection and when the virus can be detected
izations tend to struggle when the economy
thrives.
Those who may donate to charities when
the market dips are less inclined to do so
during boom times, due in part to the
assumption that everyone has greater
access to more opportunities and resources.
We are really concerned about the good
news about the economy, she said.
Because the community wont realize there
are more people struggling to feed their
families than there were a year ago.
She said that fear has come to fruition in
the form of donations to Second Harvest
this year, as the food bank is $9.6 million
short of its $15 million fundraising goal for
the holiday season.
A bulk of the donations to Second Harvest
Food Bank are received in the weeks before
Christmas, said Cardenas.
She expressed apprehension regarding

whether the charity might reach its target

for the season, in the face of its increased
demand.
This community has always been very
generous, she said. I am cautiously optimistic, but still nervous. Its a big goal.
For every dollar donated to the food bank,
Second Harvest can generate two meals for
underprivileged families, said Cardenas.
For his part, Charlow agreed his organization has an inordinate amount of people
who are looking to Samaritan House for
assistance.
We have people who are in need all year,
every year, he said. But this year is exceptionally
high.
He said he was unsure of how well the organization was doing on its fundraising drive
this year, but added there is no shortness in
demand for resources which can be used to
help local residents.
It is a package of needs that people
have. said Charlow. If you are short on
money, everything is a crisis.
As the weather turns cold, winter coats for
children and $25 gift certificates for teens
to buy winter clothing are currently the

biggest needs for Samaritan House, said
Charlow.
Despite the challenging conditions for
charities, Charlow said he is confident
Samaritan House will receive ample support
from local residents.
We live in a wonderful place, he said.
People are very generous.
Cardenas said she agreed.
The need is high, but we are extremely
grateful for the support of the community,
she said.
Charlow said though some become
increasingly aware of those in need during
the holidays, he added the issue will persist,
as the cost of living continues to rise
throughout the region.
I hope people will remember that even
past the holiday season, there are families
who need help here all year long, he said.
Those interested in donating to Samaritan
House should visit samaritanhousesanmateo.org or call 344-1651. Donations can be

New rules bringing kidneys to

hardest-to-transplant patients
By Lauran Neergaard
WASHINGTON A shake-up of the

nations kidney transplant system means
more organs are getting to patients once
thought nearly impossible to match,
according to early tracking of the new rules.
Its been a year since the United Network
for Organ Sharing changed rules for the
transplant waiting list, aiming to decrease
disparities and squeeze the most benefit
from a scarce resource: kidneys from
deceased donors. Now data from UNOS
shows that the changes are helping certain
patients, including giving those expected
to live the longest a better shot at the fittest
kidneys.
The hope is to really level the playing
field, said Dr. Mark Aeder, a transplant surgeon at University Hospitals Case Medical
Center in Cleveland who is chairman of the
UNOS kidney committee.
In Abingdon, Virginia, 8-year-old
Marshall Jones was one of the lucky first
recipients. A birth defect severely damaged
his kidneys and a failed transplant when he
was younger left his immune system abnormally primed to reject kidneys from 99 percent of donors.
Then last January, after four years of
searching, organ officials found a possible
match, hours away by plane but available
under the new policy and it worked.
More than 101,000 people are on the national waiting list, while only about 17,000 kidney transplants are performed each year.

TANVIR
Vice Mayor Charles Stone have started
a GoFundMe campaign to help Tanvir
afford a place to live locally so
Ibrahim can stay in the school district.
Over the past three days, 167 people
raised $12, 625 for the campaign
Help Ibrahim and Mom Get Happy
Home.
For me, I guess the whole time in
my life, its been someone wants
something in return. So at first, it was
like why would someone want to help
me? But I told Robin, I actually woke
up happy today, said Tanvir. Im
really grateful and happy that theres
still people out there like that.
Ibrahim, a second-grader at Nesbit,
has cerebral palsy and mitochondrial
disease. But Tanvir has begun dedicating her life to not only helping her
son; she also works two jobs as a caregiver for a 15-year-old with disabilities and is a substitute paraeducator.
Their housing struggles began nearly three years ago when Tanvir said
she finally stopped making excuses
for the physical abuse she endured at
the hands of her husband, a man she
was arranged to marry after her mother
died.
Of Pakistani decent, the California
native said she was cast out after she
decided to leave her husband.
Theres a lot of women like me out
there, especially coming from the culture Im from. Its just that theyre
held back, theyre taking it because
they think they have to. But were living in a place where they respect
WATER
throughout the state to reduce water
use by 25 percent. State water regulators set individual targets for local
agencies to meet, varying between 4
and 36 percent compared with 2013,
but those targets will expire in
February.
Brown recently extended his executive order, giving regulators authority
to enforce conservation measures
through October 2016, if California
still faces drought in January.
Local community leaders have criticized the individual targets as unfair
womens needs and womens health,

Tanvir said, hoping her story empowers more people to escape domestic
violence.
She had aspiration of going back to
school to study criminal justice and
become a police officer or begin a
career in which she can use her own
experience to help other domestic
violence survivors. But those dreams
were put aside as she focuses on making ends meet and paying rent.
It wasnt easy at first, but emotionally, Im getting better as time is
passing by, Tanvir said.
There were periods when they slept
in their car, stayed on friends couch
and lived in the InnVision Shelter
Networks San Mateo facility. About
two months ago, she was finally able
to rent a single room in a Redwood
City home, but continues to struggle
to afford the areas high cost of living, Tanvir said.
Pang-Maganaris, the principal at
Ibrahims school, said she feels for
the young single mom whose child is
bright, despite his inability to speak.
Ideally, she would like to raise enough
to help Tanvir support a years worth
of rent somewhere in the district and
allow Ibrahim to continue with his
special day class program.
The mom was working so hard with
two jobs and they just had to move
into a single room for rent. When we
heard the story, its touching. Because
its already so hard when youre a single mom, and raising an exceptional
child, it gets even harder, PangMaganaris said. As is true with the
entire Bay Area, housing costs are
insurmountable. At the same time,
Ibrahim needs to be in the program
that hes in. There are not very many
programs designed to support kids

with exceptional needs and keeping
him at Nesbit is important.
Stone said he was lucky enough to
meet Ibrahim, who has a wonderful
spirit that lights up in his eyes, during
a school event.
Its just a reminder that as tough as
it is for most people to live around
here, its even tougher for people like
Ibrahim and his mother, Stone said.
When Pang-Maganaris suggested
the fundraiser, Stone said he was eager
to help.
If we can do something in
Belmont, where we have a tradition of
helping people out, and get them into
a home for the holidays, I think thatd
just be wonderful, Stone said. Here
youve got a woman whos working
two jobs to make ends meet and then
taking care of a child that needs very
serious attention and care. And its
just such a shame that we have such an
imbalance between the amount of
housing we have and the amount of
jobs we have on the Peninsula; that it
creates a real affordability crisis.
While the initial goal was to raise
enough to cover the cost of a deposit
as well as first and last months rent
which is typically required to move in
somewhere,
Stone and PangMaganaris said they hope to be able to
give Tanvir security for a year.
This particular time of year is when
people feel like they want to give and
reach out to others, Pang-Maganaris
said. And if its this to Ibrahim, or
another charity, its all the same as
long as were trying to do our best for
our own families and others.
and
unrealistic.
In
Southern
California, local governments argued
state officials should acknowledge
huge investments in new supplies to
prepare for drought.
This year, the San Diego region
completed a $1 billion seawater
desalination plant, the largest in the
Americas. Orange County recently
expanded wastewater recycling to produce 100 million gallons of drinking
water daily.
It has been difficult to tell our
ratepayers that their investments in
local supply projects have not resulted in providing the buffer against
drought as intended, Halla Razak, the
city of San Diegos public utilities
director, wrote state regulators this
month.
Some environmental groups oppose

giving local governments credit for
new supplies, saying it might discourage conservation.
Visit
gofundme. com/helpingibrahim for more information or to
donate.
Staff for the state board also proposed giving credit to communities
that have had an influx of new homes
and business. More changes to the
conservation requirements could come
in April, when officials will consider
the years snowpack and amount of
water in the reservoirs, Gomberg said.
The state water board will take public comment on the proposed changes
for roughly two weeks. Gomberg said
the board could hold a public hearing
in early February to vote on extending
the conservation measures and the
proposed adjustments.
