Israeli recognition demand sparks Jewish state debate
Netanyahu's insistence that Palestinians accept country's Jewish status complicates peace efforts, ignites heated internal dispute
AP — Is Israel "the Jewish state"? The answer may seem as obvious as the Star of David on the Israeli flag. Yet the question is starting to complicate the ambitious US effort to ram through a peace deal between the Palestinians and Israel.
A broad-based group of Israelis plans to lobby the Knesset to declare the country, for the first time, a Jewish state by law. And Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has demanded that the Palestinians recognize Israel's Jewish status explicitly as part of any agreement.
"This is the Jewish land. This is the Jewish state," he said in a speech this week to assembled US Jewish leaders. "When we make an agreement it is an agreement between the nation state of the Jewish people and a nation state of the Palestinian people."
Leading Palestinians made their opposition clear this week, insisting that by introducing the Jewish factor, Israel is drawing a red line that could doom negotiations.
"I remember the days when we were told, 'All you need is to get the PLO to recognize Israel, and recognize Israel's right to exist in safe and secure boundaries," said Hanan Ashrawi, a prominent member of the Palestinian Liberation Organization. The Palestinians did just that, she noted, as part of the 1990s interim peace agreements.
"The Jewishness of the state of Israel…. this is a new addition," she told reporters Wednesday. "We are working to establish a pluralistic, democratic, inclusive state in Palestine. Not an exclusive state based on religion, ethnicity or whatever."
The Palestinians reject Israel's demand for pragmatic reasons as well: Embrace of Israel as a Jewish state would amount to giving up the dreams of Palestinian refugees to return to lost properties — the so-called "right of return," which is a central sticking point in peace talks. They also say it would undermine the rights of Israel's own Arab minority, the 20 percent of Israel's 8 million people who are themselves ethnic Palestinians.
Even some Israelis suspect the demand is intended to complicate — but the idea has wide support nonetheless. To be criticized even for the desire to have a state of their own — a dream allowed people the world over, from the Irish to the Iranians — chafes many Jewish Israelis.
Israeli academic Avraham Diskin, a self-professed lifelong dove, said a Palestinian refusal meant perpetuating the conflict. "This is the minimal test to show that their face is to peace," he said.
Both sides are waiting to see whether the notion shows up in the framework proposal US Secretary of State John Kerry is expected to table in coming weeks.
The US usually doesn't recognize countries by ethnicities, but Deputy State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf said the US does recognize Israel as a Jewish state. In his State of the Union speech to Congress last month, US President Barack Obama said the goals of the negotiations launched last July were "dignity and an independent state for Palestinians, and lasting peace and security for the State of Israel – a Jewish state that knows America will always be at their side."
Kerry himself implied support for the idea of a Jewish state by advising Israelis they must pull out of Palestinian-populated lands occupied in the 1967 war in order to retain a strong Jewish majority.
Indeed, if Israelis eventually hand over significant territories to a Palestinian state, the motivation will indeed stem largely from a desire to unload their Palestinian population and leave themselves with a strong Jewish majority. An Israel that controls the West Bank, east Jerusalem and Gaza — the areas occupied in 1967 — would have some 12 million people roughly evenly divided between the two groups.
Writing in the Haaretz newspaper on Thursday, liberal columnist Ari Shavit said, "The deal on the table is clear: A Jewish state in exchange for the 1967 borders." That, Shavit and others say, means the Palestinians must forget about a return by Arab refugees and their descendants to Israel.
But the whole notion of a Jewish state is a complicated one. By shining a strong light on a matter that lives more comfortably in the shadows, Israel may be rekindling some awkward questions: Are the Jews a nation — or individuals who share a religion? Should a religion have a state? Should a state have a religion?
And beyond that lies a bigger issue still: Is the idea of a nation-state — with members of that nation fretting over how to stay dominant numerically — not somehow unbecoming in the age of globalization?
The original Zionists of the late 19th century were mostly secular people inspired by the rise of European nations on the ashes of empires. Convinced the Jews needed a state of their own as well, they settled on the Holy Land, from which Jews were expelled by the Romans two millennia ago.
In November 1917 the Zionist movement persuaded Britain — who would soon receive a League of Nations mandate to rule Palestine — to issue a declaration supporting "the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people." Thirty years later, with British colonial rule nearing its end, the newly established United Nations voted for partition of the area into independent "Arab and Jewish States."
Israel's 1948 Declaration of Independence was essentially a national statement, proclaiming that Palestine — referred to interchangeably as "the land of Israel" — was "the birthplace of the Jewish people." Zvi Hauser, who until recently served as Netanyahu's Cabinet secretary, lamented this week that this declaration was never followed by a constitution cementing the country's status as the Jewish state.
"The Jewish people is not just a religion. It is also a national group that has a right to self-actualization," he said.
In fact, the question of what it means to be a Jew is a matter of debate — abroad and in Israel itself, where Orthodox rabbis fight to retain a monopoly over religious conversions that have the unusual corollary outcome of constituting a membership ticket to a "people" as well.
"It's hard to compare the matter to other countries because of the unique aspect of Judaism," said Malcolm Hoenlein, the executive vice chairman of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations.
"It is not just a religion or a nationality or an identity — it is all in one," said Hoenlein, who organized the conference that Netanyahu addressed.
Israel's law of return combines the heritage and religion definitions. It grants citizenship to anyone with at least one Jewish grandparent, as well as to converts who have no Jewish heritage but are recognized by the Orthodox rabbis.
Consensus on the matter is extremely hard to find.
Many Jews around the world see their identity as a primarily a matter of religion. Plenty of Israelis think that a "Jewish state" should be more of a theocracy, outlawing work on the Sabbath, for example. At the same time, many Jews in Israel and elsewhere are not at all religious and view themselves as Jewish simply because they were born to Jewish parents — a situation not unlike that of ethnic Irish or Japanese.
Most confounding, perhaps, are the ethnic divisions that persist between the Jews themselves.
Israel's founders were overwhelmingly European Jews, and that group — known as Ashkenazim — was numerically dominant among Jews before the Nazi Holocaust, diverse yet cohesive enough to lend credence to a national movement.
But the reality today in Israel is diverse. Almost half of the Jewish population of 6 million is descended from the Arab world — their background, history, and even appearance often starkly different from their European cohorts. Tensions over everything from music to food to prayer styles lurk just beneath the surface.
In this situation, it is not uncommon for Israelis to refer to each other, not always with admiration, by distant country of origin — as "Moroccans" and "Yemenites," or "Bulgarians" and even "Americans."
As they observe all this, skepticism among Palestinians — whose communities were displaced by the Zionist movement — seems easy to understand.
"Judaism is a religion like Islam and Christianity," said Mustafa Barghouti, a prominent Palestinian legislator. "Israel is a state, a nationality that represents all the groups and ethnicities in Israel — including the Palestinians."

Listening to my the family talk about dividing up the cooking chores for this Thanksgiving dinner, including who would peel the potatoes, reminded me that most careers start by peeling potatoes.
KP – Kitchen Patrol
One of the iconic punishments in basic training in the military was being threatened by our drill instructors of being assigned to KP – Kitchen Patrol – as a penalty for breaking some rule. If you got assigned to KP you were sent to the base kitchen and had to peel potatoes all day for all the soldiers on the base. It was tedious work but to my surprise I found that it wasn't the dreadful experience our drill instructors made it out to be. But working in the mess hall, the real eye-opener was the inside look at the workings of something I took for granted – how do you cook three meals a day for 10,000 people at a time. Peeling potatoes was a small bit in the thousands of things that had to go right every day to keep 10,000 of us fed.One my first career lessons: stop taking for granted finished goods and appreciate the complexity of the system that delivered them.
Solutions From Hands On
When I got to my first airbase my job was lugging electronics boxes on and off fighter planes under the broiling hot Thailand sun, to bring them into the technicians inside the air-conditioned shop, to troubleshoot and fix. The thing we dreaded hearing from the techs was, "this box checks out fine, it must be a wiring problem." Which meant going back to the aircraft trying to find a bent pin in a connector or short in a cable or a bad antenna. It meant crawling over, under and inside an airplane fuselage the temperature of an oven. Depending on the type of aircraft (F-4's, F-105's or A-7's – the worst) it could take hours or days to figure out where the problem was.A few months later, I was now the guy in the air-conditioned shop telling my friends on the flight-line, "the box was fine, must be a cable." Having just been on the other side I understood the amount of work that phrase meant. It took a few weeks of these interactions, but it dawned on me there was a gap between the repair manuals describing how to fix the electronics and the aircraft manuals telling you the pin-outs of the cables – there were no tools to simplify finding broken cables on the flightline. Now with a bit more understanding of the system problem, it didn't take much thinking to look at the aircraft wiring diagrams and make up a series of dummy connectors with test points to simplify the troubleshooting process. I gave them to my friends, and while the job of finding busted aircraft cabling was still unpleasant it was measurably shorter.
My next career lesson: unless I had been doing the miserable, hot and frustrating job on the flightline, I would never have known this was a valuable problem to solve.
Up From the Bottom
My startup career started on the bottom, installing process control equipment inside auto assembly plants and steel mills (in awe of the complexity of the systems that delivered finished products.) Wrote technical manuals and taught microprocessor design (to customers who knew more than I did.) Worked weeks non-stop responding to customer Requests For Proposals (RFP's.) Designed tradeshow booths, spent long nights at shows setting them up, and long days inside them during the shows.Over ten long years I wrote corporate brochures (making legal, finance and sales happy), and sales presentations (treading the line between sales, marketing, truth, and competition), and data sheets, web sites and competitive analyses, press releases (getting a degree in creative writing without being an English major,) and flew to hundreds of customer meetings on red-eyes at a drop of a hat (making sales guys rich and gaining a huge appreciation for their skills.)
Partnered with engineering trying to understand what customers really wanted, needed and would pay for, versus what we could actually build and deliver (and learning the difference between a simply good engineer and working in the presence of sheer genius.) In the sprint to first customer ship, slept under the desk in my office the same nights my engineering team was doing the same.
Each of those crummy, tedious, exhausting jobs made me understand how hard they were. Each made me appreciate the complexity of the systems (with people being the most valuable) that make up successful companies. It made me understand that they were doable, solvable and winnable.
It took me a decade to work my way up to VP of Marketing and then CEO. By that time I knew what each job in my department meant because I had done every one of them. I knew what it took to get these jobs done (and screw them up) and I now pushed the people who worked for me as hard as I had worked.

ATLANTA -- The Atlanta Falcons wanted to make a statement.
Boy, did they deliver one Sunday to the defending Super Bowl champions.
Coming off an ugly loss and criticized for failing to impress even when they won, the Falcons turned in their most well-rounded performance of the season with the playoffs approaching. Matt Ryan threw three touchdowns passes and the defense handed New York its first regular-season shutout since 1996, routing the Giants 34-0.
"We love the haters, man," said Falcons cornerback Asante Samuel, who had the first of two interceptions against Eli Manning. "The haters keep us going. So keep your hate coming. We love it. It makes us play with a chip on our shoulder."
It sure showed.
Julio Jones caught a couple of scoring throws from Ryan, who broke his own franchise records for completions and passing yards in a season. Matty Ice completed 23 of 28 passes for 270 yards.
"I felt like I was seeing the field well," Ryan said.
The Falcons (12-2), who have already clinched the NFC South, moved a step closer to home-field advantage throughout the conference playoffs. One more win would ensure that any postseason contests before the Super Bowl are held at the Georgia Dome.
Manning had his lowest-rated game since 2007 for New York (8-6), which dropped into a first-place tie with Washington in the NFC South. Dallas had a chance to make it a three-way tie later in the day, hosting Pittsburgh.
The Giants also went 0-for-3 on fourth down and missed a short field goal.
"Atlanta was very, very good. We were very, very bad," New York coach Tom Coughlin said. "There's no excuse for what happened here."
Despite their lofty record, Atlanta has received plenty of criticism for struggling to beat inferior opponents. A 30-20 loss to last-place Carolina the previous week only seemed to reinforce the notion that the Falcons are headed for another short stay in the playoffs. They have yet to win a postseason game since Ryan took over as the quarterback in 2008, going 0-3.
But one thing the Falcons never seem to do anymore is lose two straight games. They extended the NFL's longest active streak since consecutive defeats to 49 games, going back to the 2009 season.
"Our focus was heightened from other weeks," coach Mike Smith said. "We've got a lot of great leaders and mentors in that locker room. They took the message from the meetings and took it out on the field."
"Last week everybody was talking smack about us," defensive end John Abraham said. "We just continue what we're doing."
For the Giants, it was a miserable performance when they controlled their own destiny, at a time of year when they normally play some of their best football.
Manning threw his first pick on the second play of scrimmage, setting up a quick Atlanta touchdown. Coughlin made a curious call late in the first half, passing up another short field goal attempt when his team was almost 2 yards shy of the marker. Samuel batted down a short pass intended for Victor Cruz, sending Atlanta to the locker room with a commanding 17-0 lead and all the momentum.
Nothing did.
The tone was set right away.
When Manning attempted to hit Hakeem Nicks on a short pass to the right, Samuel stepped in to make the interception and return it to the Giants 16. From there, Michael Turner ran it four straight times, the last of those a 1-yard plunge that gave Atlanta a 7-0 lead less than 3 minutes into the game.
It was all Falcons after Lawrence Tynes missed a chip shot kick from 30 yards, ruining an impressive second possession by the Giants. Atlanta took it 80 yards from there, with Ryan going to Harry Douglas on a 37-yard gain for the biggest play. Then, on third-and-11 from the 12, Ryan went to his favorite target, Tony Gonzalez, in the end zone. The 16-year veteran leaped over safety Will Hill to haul in the high throw -- and hopped up quickly for his customary dunk over the goalposts.
Manning finished 13 of 25 for 161 yards, leaving him with a dismal 38.9 rating -- his worst since a Dec. 23, 2007, win at Buffalo.
"We have two games left and we have to win those two games," Manning said. "What else happens after that, we don't know and can't control."
Early in the second half, the Falcons blew it open on Ryan's 40-yard touchdown pass to Jones down the left sideline. Finally, after a drive that used up more than 9 minutes in the fourth quarter, Ryan went to Jones for a 3-yard TD.
The Giants turned it over one more time in the closing minutes, finishing off their first shutout in the regular season since a 24-0 defeat at Philadelphia on Dec. 1, 1996. The performance came just a week after they put up 52 points on the New Orleans Saints.
There was a moment of silence before the game honoring the Connecticut shooting victims, and New York took the extra step of wearing "SHES" decals on its blue helmets in honor of Sandy Hills Elementary School. Even more touchingly, Cruz dedicated the game to 6-year-old victim Jack Pinto, who was reported to be a big Giants fan.
"It was very emotional, obviously, during the game," said Cruz, who caught only three passes for 15 yards. "With a family facing that much tragedy, you want to be someone that inspires them, someone that can put a smile on their face at a time where it's tough to do that."
NOTES: More recently, the Giants were shut out in the playoffs after the 2005 season, losing at Carolina 23-0. ... Ryan has thrown for 4,202 yards and 27 touchdowns this season. ... There was one bright spot for Manning: He set a franchise record for career completions with 2,585, moving past the mark held by Phil Simms (2,576).

ClearStory Data wants to make it easy to gather and explore diverse, dispersed sets of data from corporate data sources, Hadoop and the Web to help business users to gain insights and discover new business opportunities. ClearStory analyzes data from a number of sources, both public and private, to uncover new trends and patterns. The result of this could be the discovery of new business opportunities and deeper consumer intelligence.
The startup's offering, which has not been released yet, will connect to data stored in databases as well as the web and other sources, and adds a visual discovery component to make it easy for users to parse through this data and make sense of the information. The beauty of ClearStory is that it allows businesses to analyze internal and publicly available data at the same time and make this data easy for the masses to understand.
The company was co-founded by Aster Data (acquired by Teradata) alums John Cieslewicz and Vaibhav Nivargi. Fellow founder and CEO Sharmila Mulligan worked previously at Netscape, Kiva Software, Opsware (acquired by HP) and Aster Data.
She explains in a release: "ClearStory Data is ushering in the era of 'self-driven big data exploration' by making it easier for the masses and not just data scientists and quants to connect, explore and glean intuitive insights from data derived from multiple sources."
There's no doubt that big data is drawing major attention from investors and the enterprise. If ClearStory can hold true on its promise to be able to parse and make big data understandable to companies, it could have a bright future. Clearly, big-name investors seem to think so.

Common Places of Worship Roof Failures and Signs of Potential Issues with Commercial Membrane Roofs
Roof Membrane Punctures
Punctures or holes in the roof membrane material can occur for a variety of reasons, material penetration from tree limbs, penetration from worker error, poorly mounted or installed rooftop HVAC equipment, etc. These punctures can be repaired by fusing or welding new membrane material
Open Seams
Open seams can occur when the roof membrane deteriorates due to issues or age. These can also be fixed with welding or fusing and replacement of membrane material
Pooling or Ponding Water
When roof drains fail, rain water tends to pool or "pond" in areas of the roof and standing water on your roof can be a major issue and lead to accelerating roof deterioration. Having your drains inspected for blockage and having any blockage cleared is the first step
Blocked or Clogged Roof Drains
Blocked or clogged roof drains, including roof downspouts and gutters can cause issues with pooling or ponding water on the roofs surface that will lead to roof leakage, and accelerated roof material deterioration
Bridging Walls
Bridging walls on the roof are usually a sign that the roof is is nearing it's age out, and considerations for a roof replacement should be considered or discussed. It can also be from poor initial installation. This can be repaired if this is the case.
Fastener Failure and Backout
When the membrane fails and water penetrates the surface material the roof contracts and expands more than the tolerances allowed forcing the fasteners to "backout" and creating a situation where the roofing envelope is compromised. These fasteners must be replaced after a full inspection of the roofing sub base and membrane are inspected and repaired as necessary.
Failing Caulk
This is the most common commercial roof failure with membrane roofs and occurs when caulk ages. This can lead to serious roof issues if left unchecked. Annual roof inspections can help you determine when roof caulking needs to be repaired and replaced. This is also one of the easiest roof repairs to make as it entails removing the old caulk, cleaning the locations, and resealing with new caulking.
Blisters occur when air gets trapped under the membrane. This requires the removing of the affected area, alleviation of the blister, and the replacement of new membrane material that is fused or welded in place with manufacturers approved processes.
When it comes to other types of commercial roofing material repairs and replacement needs we offer a full suite of services. Common failures on these roofs are:
- Failing shingles
- Fastener failure and backout
- Flashing failure
- Ice and water shield failure

Friday Morning News Roundup
State Senator Says "Californians Should Rejoice" Over Cpuc President's Departure
"Californians should rejoice" over the decision of California Public Utilities Commission President Michael Peevey to not seek reappointment to a new term amid allegations of corruption and inappropriate communications with PG&E, state Sen. Jerry Hill said Thursday.
Hill, D-San Mateo, on Wednesday had announced his intention to call for the state legislature to remove Peevey if Gov. Jerry Brown reappointed him after his current term expired at the end of his year, but Peevey announced Thursday that he would not seek a new term.
"Twelve years as president is enough," Peevey said in a statement. "The governor, of course, will make a decision as to my successor in due time."
After Peevey's announcement, Hill said in a statement, "the PUC will now be able to turn over a new leaf and fulfill their mission of serving the public interest by protecting consumers and ensuring safe, reliable and affordable utility service."
Allegations of corruption arose against Peevey and Commissioner Mike Florio after the release last month of emails between PG&E officials and Peevey, his then-chief of staff and Florio that allegedly show judge-shopping by the utility for an administrative law judge in a gas transmission and storage rate case.
One of the emails recounted a dinner shared by Peevey and Brian Cherry, PG&E's former vice president of regulatory relations, after which Cherry reported that he had the impression that PG&E could get a favorable decision on a proposed rate increase if the company made a $100,000 donation to the CPUC's upcoming 100th anniversary celebration.
Hill said the email showed "quid pro quo arrangements" between Peevey and Cherry.
Other emails have shown PG&E staff communicating with Florio and Peevey's former chief of staff, Carol Brown, attempting to influence the choice of judge in the rate case.
Blue Angels 'Rested', 'Ready' For Fleet Week Shows In SF
After a year off, nothing's going to stop the Blue Angels from giving San Francisco a show this Fleet Week.
Under a gray sky near Oakland International Airport Thursday, members of the world's second oldest flight demonstration squadron showed off their aircraft and talked about their plans for two air shows this weekend.
Maj. A.J. Harrell of the U.S. Marine Corps, who operates the "Fat Albert" squadron maintenance vehicle, said the team has different shows it can put on depending on weather conditions, so the show can go on just as well on an overcast day as a sunny day.
Harrell said that's just a part of being in the military. They can "accomplish the mission in all kinds of different environments," he said.
Harrell, a Maryland native who has served with the famous squadron for the last three years, said in its nearly 70-year history, the Blue Angels have never had to cancel a flight for maintenance reasons, in large part because of efforts of the crew on board the "Fat Albert."
The plane, a four-propeller Lockheed C-130 Hercules, carries equipment and maintenance crews to each of the 35 to 40 show sites the squadron visits each year. The Blue Angels do two or three shows at each stop, typically doing about 70 shows per year.
Typically they fly 100,000 miles per year carrying 30,000 pounds of gear, Harrell said.
But all Blue Angels shows were canceled last year by federal budget cutbacks. Harrell said he remained with the squadron during that time and they used it for "self-reflection" while based in Pensacola, Florida.
The team expanded and streamlined their processes to put on a better show than ever this year.
"We're rested, we're motivated, we're back and we're ready to make an impression," Harrell said.
Reward Offered For Tips In Five-Year-Old Unsolved Homicide
A reward is being offered for information leading to an arrest in a five-year-old unsolved homicide, Oakland police said Thursday.
Phat Vinh Le, 20, was shot dead by one or more armed suspects outside his home in the 2100 block of E. 23rd St. in Oakland on Oct. 10, 2009 around 6:40 p.m.
Le was returning home from work at the time of his death, and was found in his vehicle, police said at the time.
Crime Stoppers of Oakland is offering a reward of $10,000 with an additional private donation of $15,000 for information leading to the arrest of those responsible for Le's death, police said.
Antioch Homicide Suspect Also Skipped $150k Bail In Sf, Could Be Hiding In Nevada
A suspect in an Antioch homicide believed to be hiding in Nevada also skipped out on $150,000 bail in San Francisco after he was allegedly caught with a loaded gun at an April marijuana celebration in Golden Gate Park.
Carlos Gabrielle Ventura, 22, is wanted in the Aug. 24 murder of 30-year-old Deon Anderson of San Francisco, according to Antioch police. Anderson was found shot multiple times in the 200 block of Lawton Street at about 12:20 a.m. that morning.
U.S. Marshals in Nevada said last Friday that Ventura is believed to be hiding in the Stead area of Reno and has significant ties to the northern Nevada area.
A statement from the Marshals Service said that Ventura has a significant criminal history and should be considered armed and dangerous.
He had previously been arrested allegedly carrying a loaded gun and concentrated cannabis at the 4/20 celebration in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park on April 20.
A convicted felon on parole, he was prohibited from owning a gun and was charged with carrying the gun, having a concealed firearm and possession of the concentrated cannabis, San Francisco district attorney's spokesman Alex Bastian said.
He pleaded not guilty to the charges in April and was released on $150,000 bail in June, but missed a Sept. 15 court appearance and is also considered a fugitive in San Francisco, Bastian said.
Ventura is described as a Hispanic man standing 5 feet 10 inches tall, weighs 165 pounds and has brown hair and brown eyes. He has several tattoos on both arms and hands, according to the Marshals Service.
Golden Gate Transit Workers Call Strike For Oct. 17
A group of Golden Gate Bridge, Highway and Transportation District workers comprised of mechanics, servicers and dispatchers announced plans Thursday afternoon to go on a one-day strike over contract negotiations next Friday that will stop bus service between the North Bay and San Francisco.
Employees of the Golden Gate Bridge, Highway and Transportation District and their supporters gathered near St. Francis Yacht Club in San Francisco near the Golden Gate Bridge this afternoon to announce their decision to hold a one-day strike next week.
The strike is the third by members of the Golden Gate Bridge Labor Coalition. A union of machinists held a strike on Sept. 16 that did not affect transit service and ferryboat captains held a strike on Sept. 26 that halted ferry service that day.
Tim Jenkins, a labor representative of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters Local 856, said the District's bus workers, servicers, mechanics and dispatchers work hard and fear that the new contract proposed by the District will deprive them of quality, affordable health insurance.
Golden Gate Bridge Labor Coalition co-chair Alex Tonisson, representing 13 unions totaling about 450 bridge, bus and ferry workers, said the strike would begin at about 3 a.m. on Oct. 17 and remain in place for the remainder of that day.
He said bus drivers have promised to honor the picket lines, and that while all union members will stand in solidarity, the strike is not expected to impact ferry or bridge service.
Bridge district spokeswoman Priya Clemens said the District's contribution of more than 95 percent of its' employees' health care benefits package, "is significantly more generous than most public agencies in the Bay Area."
Clemens said that the District doesn't want any more strikes and has reached out to state mediation services to request help in negotiating a contract, but she said that the coalition has refused to engage in mediation.
The announcement of the strike comes after machinists and ferryboat captains each staged one-day strikes last month.
Man Tied Up, Robbed Inside Home Wednesday
Two suspects tied a man up inside his Mountain View home and robbed him on Wednesday morning, police said.
The two male suspects entered the home on San Marcos Circle in the Rex Manor neighborhood some time between 10:30 a.m. and noon Wednesday, according to police.
Police said the suspects found a 24-year-old resident inside and tied him up, then stole a cell phone and cash from the home before fleeing.
Officers searched the area but were unable to locate the suspects.
The robbery occurred about a block away from two elementary schools, but because the crime wasn't reported until later, neither of the campuses was placed on lockdown during the police search.
Police said a dark-colored, four-door sedan seen in the area at the time of the robbery might be related to the crime.
Sutter Delta Worker Arrested For Allegedly Embezzling $1M In Hospital Supplies
An employee at Sutter Delta Medical Center in Antioch has been arrested for allegedly embezzling up to $1 million in medical equipment and supplies from the hospital and selling them online, police said Thursday.
Gary Lee Childress, 23, of Rio Vista, was arrested in the parking lot of the hospital on Monday evening on suspicion of embezzlement and possession of stolen property, according to police.
Police said Childress had been stealing supplies from the hospital and selling the stolen items to unknowing buyers on eBay for the past several months. He has been employed as an Environmental Services worker at Sutter Delta since 2011, according to police.
A hospital spokesperson was not immediately available for comment on the arrest.
Detectives served a search warrant at the suspect's Rio Vista home, where they found "evidence of this extensive theft" both at the residence and in his car, police said in a statement.
Proceeds from these sales were also found and seized under the warrant, according to police.
Police said Childress has cooperated with their investigation and that some of the stolen hospital property has been recovered.
Reputed Gang Leader Gets Three Life Terms For San Leandro Murders
A reputed gang leader was sentenced Thursday to three consecutive terms of life in prison without parole for his role in a shooting after a tattoo party in San Leandro three years ago that left three people dead and three others wounded.
Anthony Perry, a 24-year-old Oakland man who prosecutors said is the head of the Oakland-based Mob Squad, was one of three alleged gang members who were convicted on April 18 of three counts of murder and four counts of attempted murder for the shooting. It occurred in a parking lot outside a warehouse in the 2600 block of Alvarado Street in the early morning hours of Oct. 2, 2011.
Also convicted were reputed associates Paul Stevenson, 23, of Oakland, and Aaron Stewart, 22, of Fairfield.
In addition to the murder and attempted murder counts, the three men were convicted of the special circumstance of committing multiplemurders, an outcome mandating that they all face life in prison without the possibility of parole.
Prosecutor Jimmie Wilson told jurors during the trial that the shooting was "a gang-related assassination" and the alleged Mob Squad members targeted a member of the rival FE gang because they were upset about a confrontation with the other group at a San Francisco nightclub several months earlier.
Wilson said the instigator of the shooting was Perry, who he said is the leader of the Mob Squad gang and is known as "A-1" and "A-Uno."
Ex-Wife Of Murdered Monte Sereno Man Testifies About Nightmarish Home Invasion
The ex-wife of a Monte Sereno man who died during a 2012 home invasion recalled Thursday in Santa Clara County Superior Court how robbers invaded their home, bloodied her, tied up her and her former husband and had her lay next to his motionless body for hours.
Harinder Rani Kumra said that the nighttime ordeal had such an affect on her that she felt scared when she saw a police photo of the man she identified as the one who walked into her dark bedroom, struck her in the lip and threatened to kill her.
"That's why I don't want to be here," Kumra said from the stand, as the jury and several members of her family watched. "Every night when there is a noise, I see him walking. It's like an imprint in my brain."
Her court appearance was the first time Harinder Kumra has spoken in public about the Nov. 30, 2012 home invasion robbery of the large Monte Sereno estate she shared with her ex-husband Raveesh "Ravi" Kumra, 66, a wealthy one-time owner of a Saratoga winery.
Ravi Kumra choked to death that early morning after the robbery suspects gagged him by duct tape, beat and bound his ex-wife beside him in the kitchen and left with jewelry, coins and tens of thousands in cash and other valuables from his home.
Deputy District Attorney Kevin Smith called her as a witness Thursday in his case against defendant Marcellous Drummer, being tried on murder and robbery charges with gang enhancements in the home invasion.
His alleged cohorts in the crimes, DeAngelo Austin and Javier Garcia, are charged with the same crimes but will be tried in a separate future trial.
Another former co-defendant in the murder-robbery, Katrina Fritz, a former prostitute who worked with Ravi Kumra for years, has agreed to testify for the prosecution against the three defendants in exchange for the dismissal of the murder charge and a sentence of up to 17 years.
Two Men Shot After Argument With Four Suspects
Two men were shot in San Bruno Wednesday night after an argument with four suspects who fled in a sedan, police said.
The shooting was reported at 9:22 p.m. in the 900 block of Hensley Avenue.
Police found the 31- and 22-year-old victims there suffering from gunshot wounds. They were taken to a hospital for treatment and are expected to survive, police said.
The victims were on the street when four suspects got out of their dark-colored sedan and got into an argument with the two men. Shortly after that they were shot, police said.
The suspects fled in the sedan on Hensley Avenue.
Investigators believe the two men were targeted by the suspects and are looking into whether the incident was gang-related.
Man Killed In Officer-Involved Shooting In Soma Tuesday Identified
San Francisco police shot an Oakland man Tuesday during an alleged vehicle burglary in the city's South of Market neighborhood after he refused to drop a handgun, Police Chief Greg Suhr said at a community meeting Thursday.
Officers assigned to monitor the area of AT&T Park around the time that a San Francisco Giants' playoff game was ending on Tuesday saw a suspicious vehicle casing other cars near Jack London Alley and Bryant Street around 9 p.m., Suhr said.
Officers watched two suspects emerge from their car and then burglarize a Mercedes SUV parked on Jack London Alley near South Park, Suhr said.
When the officers approached the suspect vehicle to make contact with the suspects, they noticed that the driver, identified as Oshaine Evans, 26,had a handgun, according to Suhr.
One of the officers ordered Evans to drop the handgun but he refused, Suhr said.
In defense of himself and others, an officer was forced to discharge his firearm, Suhr said.
Evans, 26, and the rear passenger in the vehicle, identified as a 28-year-old San Leandro resident, were both struck by the gunfire.
Evans was declared dead at San Francisco General Hospital at 9:30 p.m., according to the medical examiner's office.
The injured passenger is in stable condition at San Francisco General Hospital, Suhr said.
The vehicle's front passenger, identified as Steven Oliver Moore, 25, of Oakland, was arrested on Bryant Street as he attempted to flee on foot.
Evans' firearm was recovered at the location of the shooting. It has been determined to have been stolen out of the state of New York. All of the stolen property from the Mercedes SUV was also recovered, including a laptop, Suhr said.
Evans' mother, brother and niece attended the meeting and stated that they believed the shooting was the result of racial bias on the part of officers.
Boy Recants Story He Was Attacked By Man With A Knife
An 11-year-old student has recanted a story that he was attacked by a man with a knife on the way to school Wednesday morning, police said.
The boy said a man in his 60s threw him to the ground and threatened him with a knife around 8 a.m. as he walked to the Grange Middle School.
Police searched the area at the intersection of East Tabor Avenue and Falcon Drive but did not find the suspect, who was wearing a brown jacket with a fur collar according to the boy.
When police interviewed the boy again Thursday he admitted making up the story, police said.
Case Against Marin City Man Who Was Shot By Deputy Dismissed
The Marin County District Attorney's Office has decided not to prosecute a Marin City man who was shot by a county sheriff's deputy during a traffic stop last year.
Chaka Grayson, 45, faced a trial in Marin County Superior Court later this month on misdemeanor charges of resisting, delaying and obstructing a police officer, failing to comply with a lawful order of a peace officer and driving with a suspended or revoked license.
Grayson was shot three times by Marin County sheriff's deputy Evan Kubota during a traffic stop on Terners Drive in Marin City on July 7, 2013.
The Marin County Sheriff's Office said Kubota recognized Grayson driving in his gold Buick and knew his license was suspended. When Kubota walked toward Grayson's car, Grayson accelerated toward Kubota who then fired several rounds, striking Grayson three times, according to the sheriff's office.
The sheriff's office said Kubota saw Grayson duck down in his car and believed his life might be in danger.
Grayson was booked into Marin County jail on a parole hold pending the filing of charges against him in the shooting incident, which angered the Marin City community. The Marin County District Attorney's Office later lifted the parole hold and Grayson was released.
In December 2013, District Attorney Ed Berberian said his office would not charge Grayson with assault with a deadly weapon – the weapon being Grayson's car – but would charge him with the misdemeanor offenses. The trial was scheduled for Oct. 20.
Berberian also said at that time that Kubota did not commit a criminal violation of the law in discharging his weapon.
Berberian said "new information" came to his attention and he decided the prosecution could not prove the misdemeanor allegations beyond a reasonable doubt. Marin County Superior Court Judge Terrence Boren dismissed the case against Grayson Wednesday afternoon.
Kubota was "separated" from his employment from the sheriff's office on Aug. 27, 2013, according to the Marin County Human Resources Department.
Student With Gun Arrested After Exchange Of Gunfire With Police Near Dixon HS
Police arrested a 15-year-old Dixon High School student who exchanged gunfire with an officer Wednesday morning, according to police and the Dixon Unified School District.
A student alerted Dixon High School Principal Nick Girimonte at about 9 a.m. Wednesday that another student was armed with a handgun in nearby Hall Memorial Park, school district officials said on Facebook.
The school contacted police, who responded to the park. When one of the officers arrived, the student came up behind the patrol car and opened fire, striking the car multiple times, Dixon police Chief Jon Cox said.
"It was very fortunate the officer was not struck," Cox said.
The officer got out of the car and returned fire and the student tried to run. Other officers arriving at the park ordered him to the ground and he was safely arrested, police said.
The student had apparently been hit in his torso by the officer's gunfire and was taken to a hospital for treatment.
He was later released from the hospital and booked into a juvenile detention facility in Fairfield on suspicion of attempted murder of a police officer, Cox said.
The school, located at 555 College Way, was placed on lockdown as police responded. The school provided counseling support for students Thursday, district officials said.
"It was a good example of how important it is for the school district and law enforcement to work together," Cox said. "Because of their diligence in immediately notifying us, we were able to take this person into custody without any further violence."
Bart, AC Transit Directors Approve Late Night Bus Service
Expanded late night transbay bus service could begin as early as December after BART and Alameda-Contra Costa Transit directors voted to approve the service.
BART directors approved the one-year pilot program Thursday and AC Transit directors approved it Wednesday night.
The plan calls for AC Transit to run its existing late-night lines that run from San Francisco to Richmond and Fremont more frequently and add a line to the Pittsburg-Bay Point BART station. The routes would also be lengthened in San Francisco to 24th and Mission streets.
Buses would run every 20 minutes between 12:30 and 2:30 a.m., about the frequency of BART trains during non-commute hours.
Bus riders will pay a $4.20 fare for a trip across the Bay and the regular AC Transit fare of $2.10 for local trips.
AC Transit officials said the pilot program augments their regular "owl service" that began in 2005 to provide important transbay service for hundreds of night-shift workers and others from 12 a.m. to 5 a.m., when BART trains have stopped for the night.
BART Director Robert Raburn said, "These extra buses will provide more frequent and expanded service to those who rely on transit when BART isn't in service."
Raburn said, "This pilot program is part of a larger effort to seek ways to offer the public more options during the overnight hours."
BART officials said they're not able to operate trains during overnight hours because they lack extra tracks to run trains on while they perform essential overnight track maintenance to keep the rails safe and reliable.
BART developed the late night bus plan after three years of study.
BART has anticipated the program will cost $838,000 and has secured $496,000 in grants and set aside $200,000 in operating funds. It anticipates recovering $100,000 in fare revenue from the buses.

UNION BEACH, N.J. (AP) - Gov. Chris Christie, who has acknowledged to Barbara Walters he's "more than a little" overweight and munched on a jelly doughnut on David Letterman's talk show, is addressing his weight issues head-on as speculation intensifies he's positioning himself to run for president in 2016.
"If you talked to anybody who has struggled with their weight, what they would tell you is `every week, every month, every year, there's a plan,'" Christie said Tuesday, a day after appearing with Letterman, who has used the Republican governor's midsection as a punch line since he took office in 2010. "The idea that somehow I don't care about this, of course I care about it, and I'm making the best effort I can."
Christie, 50, acknowledged dieting has been a regular part of his life for 30 years.
"Sometimes I'm successful, and other times I'm not," he said. "And sometimes, periods of great success are followed by periods of great failure."
Christie has never revealed his weight or released his medical records, and he bristled when his size came up during the 2009 governor's race. An ad by incumbent Gov. Jon Corzine accused Christie, a former federal prosecutor, of "throwing his weight around."
Christie found himself addressing the issue again on Tuesday, when a reporter asked whether the people who elected him should worry about his health because of his weight.
Christie said he's "remarkably healthy" and proved his fitness for the job by working 18-hour days after Superstorm Sandy, considered the state's worst natural disaster, slammed the Jersey coast on Oct. 29.
He gave a similar answer when Walters asked him in December during her "Most Influential People" special if he was too fat to be president.
"That's ridiculous," he responded.
Christie, who is widely mentioned as a possible presidential candidate as his national reputation has grown since the storm, had one health scare during his first term: an asthma attack on a humid summer morning in 2011 that diverted him from a scheduled press conference at a farm to a hospital. He addressed the press when he was discharged hours later, saying the heat, not his weight, contributed to the attack but vowing dietary modifications.
"I weigh too much because I eat too much," he said then.
He said Tuesday "there is a plan" for his weight.
"Whether it's successful or not," he said, "you'll all be able to notice."
Christie recited two of Letterman's fat jokes while appearing on CBS' "Late Show" on Monday night and told the comedian his laugh lines about his weight were funny "about 40 percent" of the time.

After a few months of emails and mock-ups, I was SO excited to receive a beautiful brown paper package, tied up with strings with my gold framed dog portraits ready to hang. They are 10″ x 8″ works {framed size is about 13″ x 11″} and capture my dog's faces and personalities so perfectly, I was blown away when I saw them in person! They make me laugh in the best way possible… so much that while readying these photos for this post, I couldn't help a few random laughter outbursts in my otherwise quiet house. And of course I included far more photos than necessary, but they are so perfect, words cannot even explain. I'm actually going to hang them above the Union Jack Flag print in the game room you see peeping out in a few photos, but for now, they're resting on the gold stump side tables.
If you are thinking about similar works for your pets, I seriously recommend Luke Jervis for the job. You can see more works on his website and contact him for rates {which include the gold frames AND shipping from the UK}. They are worth every penny.

[UPDATE — Questions have been raised about some of Intel's power consumption claims.] The PC industry used to taunt Apple about their price premium but now the joke is on them: The first crop of Windows 8 tablets and hybrids are overpriced and under-featured. But Intel seems to have the right idea on saving the PC industry. They are pushing Ultrabooks to the $599 price point with mandatory touch capability by the end of 2013.
January 7, 2013
Intel seems to have the right idea for saving the PC industry. The microprocessor giant is pushing Ultrabooks to the $599 price point with mandatory touch capability by the end of 2013.
This shows that Intel is serious about making touch a mainstream option in PCs. Multitouch sensors are essentially a $40 component that was traditionally sold as a $400 premium feature in higher-end notebooks, but only a tiny percent of PCs to date have shipped with touch screens. By making it mandatory across the board, the retail price markup is brought closer in line with the actual cost of the component. With features like touch and always-on capability in the fourth-generation ultrabook, and an attractive $599 price point, the PC is far less likely to cede market share to tablets.
Last week I pointed out the failed launch of Windows 8 tablets and it looks like Vizio is following in the same footsteps with their 11.6" AMD Z-60 based Windows 8 tablet. The AMD Z-60 has low CPU performance and lacks always-on and it's too heavy at 1.8 pounds. The Samsung 11.6" ATIV 500T tablet by comparison weighs 1.4 pounds. The reason for this is that the AMD processor requires a much larger battery.
Samsung's 11.6" tablet is much lighter because Intel's Clover Trail "Atom" processor has always-on capability and is far more energy efficient. There are heavier Intel-based tablets based on the company's Ivy Bridge "Core" processor which also lack always-on and battery efficiency, but Ivy Bridge was designed for higher end notebooks or "Ultrabooks" with their much faster CPU and relatively fast GPU.
Still, all of these Windows tablets aren't close to being competitive with Apple's iPad 4 or Samsung's Nexus 10. Very few people will pay $800 for an Atom-based system or low end AMD performance. The PC industry used to taunt Apple about their price premium but now the joke is on them.
It's crucial that the PC industry hits the strategic $399, $499, $599, and $699 starting price points. $399 starting price for an Atom based system with a standard 1366x768 display would be price competitive. At $699 starting price for a Haswell-based system and a retina class display, the unit would be competitive. The PC industry also needs to forget about 1080P displays because it makes the icons and text in Windows 8 too small. They need to match the MacBook pro with Retina display so that pixel doubling can be employed. That means 2560x1600 emulating 1280x800 so that icons and other GUI elements that have not been optimized for a 2560x1600 display still look decent and remain the same size.
Some people will say I'm expecting too much for $699 but the Nexus 10 offers 2560x1600 resolution at the $399 price point. This is what consumers have come to expect and this is the new marketplace reality. Companies can always sell higher end versions with higher clocked processors, more storage, and more RAM at higher price points but they must have a good starting price that's competitive with iPad and Android.
Intel just announced at CES a more energy efficient Ivy Bridge chip with 7 watt TDP (Thermal Design Power) and a faster Atom processor. But what I'm really waiting for is Intel Haswell due later this year. Haswell offers high end performance of an Ultrabook and the always-on battery life and light weight form factor of a tablet. Intel also announced the Bay Trail "Atom" processor which is a 22nm quad-core chip succeeding the 32nm dual-core Clover Trail processor. Bay Trail will have twice the CPU performance of Clover Trail and it will further improve battery life. Bay Trail will also get a significant GPU upgrade because it will use the same graphics technology as Intel's Ivy Bridge processor used in high end notebooks, though Bay Trail will only have 4 execution units compared to 16 in Ivy Bridge.
[UPDATE — According to ARS Technica Intel is guilty of a little marketing trickery by conflating some new average power consumption metric for peak thermal design power in the paragraph above. The so-called 7 watt TDP Ivy Bridge chip is actually a 13 watt TDP chip according to Intel's own specifications. While 13 watt TDP is a big improvement for a notebook chip that used to run at 17 watt TDP, Intel should not be calling it a 7 watt TDP chip. This is as bad as AMD's "fake-o-watt" marketing tricks several years ago. Intel's next generation Haswell chip is officially slated at 10 watt TDP which would make Haswell slightly too hot for normal-sized tablets, but Intel has already shown 8 watt versions of Haswell so the final TDP number for Haswell may end up low enough for an iPad- or Nexus-class product.]
Intel also appears to be hedging its bet on Android in case Windows tablets continues to disappoint. Unlike Clover Trail which only worked on Windows 8, Bay Bridge will also work on Android. This opens the possibility of an Intel Atom processor in some future main stream tablet like the Nexus 10 and maybe a Haswell chip in a high end tablet. Asus has already leaked out a low end 7" $199 tablet with a 1280x800 IPS display running on the Atom Z2420 processor.
