A computer simulation shows how our sun and Earth warp space and time, or spacetime,
represented here with a grid.
Space-time is the mind-bending, fourdimensional way astronomers see the universe. It melds the one-way march of time
with the more familiar three dimensions
of space.
General relativity says that gravity is
caused by heavy objects bending spacetime. And when massive but compact
objects like black holes or neutron stars
collide, their immense gravity causes
space-time to stretch or compress.

Correction Policy
knew last week that there might be some misinterpretation of my column about climate change, but
didnt expect the sheer volume of response. Some
letters, some emails and a few phone calls. Some people
loved it, some vehemently hated it. Others appreciated
the food for thought. All of that is OK. I appreciate that
people feel strongly and want to share their opinions
and their passion on
what is a sensitive and
sometimes political
topic.
However, I thought I
might make a quick
clarification, then
elaborate a bit on a
section I didnt get a
chance to last week.
First, for the clarification. I intended for the
column to basically
say, no matter your
idea on climate
change, whether its
man-made or not,
ancient history strongly suggests it is happening, and we might
as well be prepared for it.
Now that that portion of housekeeping is done, here
is the elaboration. Seems some people took severe issue
with the suggestion that having an electric car is presumptuous in how much it will help with our climate
since its changing with or without us. True, one conversion from a gasoline car to an electric one wont
make a lick of difference, especially since electricity
still relies on a significant amount of fossil fuel
though that could change with technological advancements. However, one could argue that our personal decisions do add up to change. Yes, that is true. Absolutely
true. Yet thinking that having an electric car will
absolve you of all your environmental sins is a bit
short-sighted. Having something flashy to show you
care about the environment does not make up for having
a 400 or 600 amp panel on your 4,000-square-foot (or
bigger) home and using all of that panel every day.
I dont fault people for having electric cars, I really
dont. I think its a creative way to reduce our reliance
on fossil fuel, and all the perils that go along with that.
Besides, some of them are pretty neat. But many are
expensive, and not easily accessible by those with
lower incomes especially when factoring in the electrical work that must be done in a house to ensure there is
ample power supply. It might change, but for now, electric cars are mainly the province of the elite.
Those of lower incomes, and also renters, dont necessarily have the luxury of buying an electric car. It is
also presumptuous to think that having an electric car is
the answer. Its not. One could argue its one piece of a
larger puzzle we can all work on together to be gentler
to the Earth. And regardless of your stance on climate
change, isnt that a worthwhile goal?
But there is also something to be said for simply
reducing the amount of energy and products we use and
the impact we may have on the environment. It is a philosophy I hold dear. Being gentle on the Earth is good
policy, not just for our government and society, but also
on a personal level. We live in a wonderful area with
tremendous natural resources. We all want our air and
water to be cleaner and to have less waste building up in
landfills. This is a good overall goal for us to have and
there are many ways to go about it. But I get irritated by
those who show off and get in peoples faces about what
great things they are doing for the planet (and what others should be doing) when they use way more resources
than necessary.
Last week, I was simply saying that we cannot slow
down the eventual coming of climate change because our
planet has been through several incarnations of it for
billions of years. But that doesnt mean we should not
be concerned about our impact on our planet, and live
within our environmental means rather than make up for
our excess through trendy purchases and theories. After
all, we are all in this together and its important to be
mindful of our decisions, each and every one of them.

Business brief
PepsiCos revenue in North
America climbs, helped by pricing
NEW YORK PepsiCo said revenue for its North
American snacks and drinks units rose in the fourth quarter,
boosted by pricing.
The maker of Frito-Lay chips and Tropicana juice has
been retooling its product lineup and rethinking pricing to
fetch more money from shoppers. The strategies include the
introduction of new lines of Gatorade and Mountain Dew
Dewshine, which comes in glass bottles that people might
feel is worth a higher price.
The focus on finding novel ways to extract more money
from shoppers comes as major packaged food and beverage
makers face slowing growth in saturated markets like the
United States. Coca-Cola Co., for instance, has been pushing its mini-cans that are seen as more premium offerings,
and even featured the 7.5-ounce can in its Super Bowl ad.
Both Coke and Pepsi are also slashing costs and investing more in marketing, which they say helps justify higher
prices and drives sales.
For the typical 12-ounce cans and 2-liter bottles of sodas,
PepsiCo Inc. has also been trying to move away from the
discounting that helped drive sales in the past.

There were 158 targeting penalties called in all FBS games last
season. Forty-three were overturned by replay review and 115
were upheld.
All targeting fouls are reviewed,
but replay ofcials have been limited to reviewing only if there was
forcible contact to the head and
neck area and if the hit was made
with the crown of the helmet.
Under this proposal, how the contact occurred, whether the player
launched into an opponent or
whether the contact was more incidental, also can be reviewed.
Replay ofcials also would be
allowed to call targeting fouls
missed on the eld, though NCAA
coordinator of ofcials Rogers
Redding emphasized only blatant
and obvious missed targeting
penalties will be called after video
review.
Its not the case that on every
play the replay ofcial is going to
scan the eld to see what happened, Redding said.
The SEC requested the opportunity to experiment with collaborative replay review, with ofcials
monitoring games from a command center away from the stadiums.

Rose is among six players from the top 10
in the world, and the only one of them to
break 70. This is his first time playing the
Pebble Beach Pro-Am, partly because he
chose not to play in the Middle East swing on
the European Tour, and partly because of a
partner (Timberlake) that he has come to
know over the years.
Both did well at their crafts.
Rose strung together seven birdies, holing
out from the bunker on No. 10 and ending his
round with a 50-foot birdie putt that banged
into the back of the cup. He played Pebble

In theory, the new rules should make
smaller additions more affordable by
reducing city fees, provide property owners with a better idea of what to expect

give both staff as well as the commission
a firmer reference guide for examining

Its the first, and arguably least controversial, set of amendments the public and
officials considered as the council seeks to
implement a variety of revisions to its
Zoning and Tree ordinances ranging from
maximum home sizes to parking requirements.
Since a citizens group received over

Daily Journal.
The two parties agreed to terms but the
final paperwork has not been signed,
Sganga said.
Wright, however, is due back in criminal
court April 4 facing felony charges of committing a lewd act upon a minor and continuous sexual molestation of a child under the
age of 14.
He allegedly threatened to hurt her family
if she ever told anyone what happened,
according to the civil complaint.
The criminal case is more important to
the victim, Sganga said about his client.
She is less concerned about how much
money is involved than she is about seeking justice, her lawyer said.
He suspects Wright may be pursuing a
plea deal in the criminal case since his
defense has yet to interview any witnesses,
Sganga said.
The civil complaint was filed nearly four

Aug. 7, 2015, at his work in Orinda. He is

others expressed continued apprehension
about the impacts.
Charles Akers said hes concerned
Belmont will become a community of
McMansions and the city should instead
focus on allowing exemptions to the rules
instead of making wholesale rewrites.
Akers said many couldnt attend the community meeting and urged the council to
seek more public input.
Im afraid we may be headed to a repeat
of last year when so many citizens felt
they werent being heard, Akers said.
Others urged the council to proceed.
Belmont is finally embarking on an
important review of its code, a review to
ensure that if there are quantifiable goals
that are to be met by zoning in some way,
that theyre done in the least burdensome
way, said resident Tim Hoffman. I
applaud this first step, lets keep it
going.
Separate meetings will be held in the
2014. She believed that Wright meant he
would kill her family or otherwise find some
way to separate her from her family,
according to the complaint.
Braid Pezzaglia, Wrights attorney, confirmed Thursday that the civil case is settled. Attorney Mike Armstrong is handling
the criminal case, Pezzaglia said.
The lawsuit alleges the victim suffered
abuse, threats, mental trauma, fractured relationships, troubles with school and work,
embarrassment, loss of self-esteem, disgrace, humiliation, loss of enjoyment of
life and general depression and anxiety.
The victims parents are also plaintiffs in
the complaint.
They approached Belmont police last
summer who then turned the investigation

development, according to video of the
meeting.
Im excited about the project, I like the
looks of it, he said. It is revitalizing an
area that has not been up to its potential.
The first phase of the construction project
is expected to take place at two adjacent lots
spanning 309-421 Airport Blvd., which
will be developed into 260 rental apartments spread between two identical sevenstory towers, located about half a block
north of Grand Avenue.
A parking garage for residents and guests,
as well as 12 townhouses, are slated to be
built in later construction phases. A Ford
auto dealership formerly anchored a majority of the property, but has sat vacant for
years.
Officials are hopeful the project will fold
seamlessly into the downtown plan
approved last year, which aims to build
more homes in transit-oriented developments near the new Caltrain platform set to
be extended closer to the citys commercial
district.
Ken Busch, senior vice president at Sares
Regis, said the project aims to fulfill the
vision set forth by the council.
We are really excited about the location,
he said. We anticipate our residents will use
the downtown as they live there.
Support for the project was not unanimous though, as some residents expressed
concerns regarding how such a substantial
development may clog the surrounding
streets with cars, and whether visitors to the
complex would consume the few remaining
available spaces in an area already starved
for parking.

Doing Valentines
the right way with
fresh doughnuts
By Alison Ladman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
FRYING
To fry, fill a large, deep pot with 1 to 1 1/2 inches of
oil. Heat over medium-high until the oil reaches 350 F to
375 F. Adjust the heat to maintain this temperature. Place
a cooling rack over a rimmed baking sheet and set near
the pot of oil. When everything is ready, fry your doughnuts in batches of 3 to 4, being careful to not overcrowd
your pan. The doughnuts will take about 3 minutes per
side. Use tongs or a slotted spoon to carefully turn each
doughnut over, cooking until deep golden brown.
Transfer the finished doughnuts to the prepared rack to
drain. Repeat until youve used all your dough, allowing
the oil to return to the proper temperature between batches.

The Chocolate Bomb: chocolate glaze, Cocoa
Pebbles, shaved chocolate
The Turtle: caramel glaze, toasted pecans, shaved

The Tropical: vanilla glaze, chopped dried pineapple,
crystallized ginger, toasted coconut
The Black Forest: chocolate glaze, dried cherries, drizzle with vanilla glaze
The beauty in this recipe which bathes scallops in a cream sauce and tops them with crispy panko breadcrumbs is that

them, he said.
Kerry and Russian Foreign
Minister Sergey Lavrov, who had
been pressing for a cease-fire to
begin March 1, said the U.S. and
Russia would co-chair both the
working group on humanitarian
aid as well as the group that will
try to deal with the modalities
of the temporary truce. However,
it was not clear if deep and festering differences between the U.S.
and Russia on these issues could
be overcome.
While humanitarian access is
critical to relieving the suffering
of millions of Syrians in the
short term, a durable and lasting
cease-fire will be required if
stalled negotiations between
Syrian President Bashar Assads
government and the opposition
are to resume on or before the
U.N.-set target date of Feb. 25.
The talks broke down last month
before they really started, due
largely to gains by Assads military with the heavy backing of

Russia had proposed the March

Moscow and the Syrian army
three more weeks to try to crush
Western- and Arab-backed rebels.
The U.S. countered with demands
for an immediate stop to the
fighting. Both countries appeared
to have made concessions on that
front.
Despite the concession on
potential timing of the truce and
the agreement to set up the task
force, the U.S., Russia and others
remain far apart on which groups
should be eligible for it. The new
task force, which will include military officials, will take up a job
that was supposed to have been
settled months ago. At the
moment, only two groups the

MONTERREY, Mexico A
brawl between rival drug gangs at
an overcrowded penitentiary in
northern Mexico turned into a riot
Thursday, leaving 49 inmates dead
and 12 injured in the countrys
deadliest prison melee in years.
No escapes were reported in the
clash at the Topo Chico prison in
Monterrey, said Nuevo Leon state
Gov. Jaime Rodriguez. The riot
