Eight-million phone numbers aren’t enough. San Francisco wants more, more, more. And so the once-mighty 415 area code, which six decades ago stretched from the middle of California to the Oregon border, has suffered the final blow. It’s been sliced and diced and — beginning Saturday at a minute after midnight — it will be overlaid.

INDIANAPOLIS — Raiders owner Mark Davis has continually said he wants his team to stay in Oakland. The Raiders and rival San Diego Chargers have been working on plans to build and share a $1.7 billion stadium in Carson — if they can’t get publicly-financed deals done to stay in their respective cities. If we cannot find a permanent solution in our home markets, we have no alternative but to preserve other options to guarantee the future economic viability of our franchises, the statement said. […] Colony Capital — an international leader in real estate investment projects — has since failed to make any progress since releasing its “Coliseum City” plan of football and baseball stadiums and retail shops last August.

BART officials warned riders Wednesday that they may have been exposed to measles after a passenger with the virus commuted to and from work from Feb. 4 to Feb. 6 — and urged those who think they have symptoms to see a doctor immediately. The unnamed passenger was confirmed this week as the first measles case to turn up in Contra Costa County since the beginning of an outbreak that has been linked to a December guest at Disney theme parks in Southern California. Most people are not at risk since they are vaccinated against measles,” health officials said in a statement, “but anyone who is not vaccinated is at risk to be infected if exposed to the virus.

“The reality of running for governor - even four years from now - in America’s largest, most diverse state demands that I start raising resources now if we’re going to lead a conversation worthy of the 38 million people who live, work, attend school and raise families in the Golden State,” he wrote.

1) Moscow is throwing everything but the kitchen sink – and even that – at the markets to save the ruble. After hiking interest rates yesterday, to no effect, Russia decided to sell off assets to buy back its currency (fewer rubles out in the world would logically mean a higher value to each).
