Sixty-ve-year old Louis Marlin Jr. was
on a cruise in Europe when he found out his
Burlingame home of 39 years had burned
down.
Just before Thanksgiving, at 3:49 a.m.
Nov. 23, Marlins apartment, at the 1200
block of Donnelly Avenue near downtown
Burlingame was part of a four-alarm blaze
that badly damaged both his building and a
commercial building
next door, according to
Central County Fire
Marshal Rocque Yballa.
Investigators believe
combustible items near a
oor heater at the com-
mercial business on the
rst oor of his apart-
ment at 1218 Donnelly
Ave. started the re and
caused $2 million in damage, Yballa said. A
full report on the re will be released some-
time next week.
Marlin, who is deaf, found out about the
re through an email sent to the leader of
his trip one morning at breakfast in Rome.
At rst I was shocked, he said through
an interpreter. Then I was worried, think-
ing about all the valuable things [I lost]. I
was so unsettled and couldnt sleep well.
Now he is disappointed, but glad to be
alive.
In some ways I felt the house was mine,
he said. I loved the stairway because it kept
me in shape I was getting a little bit
thick in the middle. I loved the view and
watched people go by and of course I would
irt sometimes with the girls going by. One
of the most important things I thought of
was my life. I would have died for sure if I
was not on vacation since Im a heavy
sleeper.
For now, hes staying at the Crowne Plaza
Hotel in Burlingame. His stay there can last

Economy
returning
to normal?
Consistent hiring points to
stronger economy ahead
By Christopher S. Rugaber
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON The job market is showing signs of the
consistent gains the nation has awaited in the 4 1/2 years
since the Great Recession.
Employers added 203,000 jobs in November, and the
unemployment rate fell to 7 percent, a ve-year low, the
Labor Department reported Friday. Four straight months of
robust hiring have raised hopes that 2014 will be the year
the economy returns to normal.
The steady job growth could also hasten a move by the
Federal Reserve to reduce its stimulus efforts.
Stock investors were heartened by the report. The Dow
Jones industrial average jumped 198 points.
A steadily improving job market could give consumers
and business executives the condence to keep spending

For many, jumping out of a plane
and freefalling from thousands of feet
in the air at 180 mph evokes anxiety
and gut-wrenching fear; but for Alana
Fulvio, its what gets her through life.
The 38-year-old Belmont native and
Redwood City resident has been cop-
ing with the loss of her job and the
tragic death of her husband through
skydiving.
Its just freeing, it allows me to
release everything. And I kind of gig-
gle every time I do it just because its
really kind of funny and crazy that we
jump out of a plane. But you get away
from everything that society weighs
on you and the sadness of the loss,
[skydiving] allows me just to be in a
happy place. Fulvio said.
She started jumping in 2002 after
she lost her job during the recession.
Since then, shes logged in more than
2,900 jumps, Fulvio said.
I needed a shock to my system, to
do something that Id never done,
Fulvio.
Nowadays, even with a day job at a
recruiting rm in the technology sec-
tor, she tries to get in the air nearly
every weekend.
Its probably the most freeing feel-
ing Ive ever had in my life, because it
is a true sport, its not just jumping out
of a plane and falling. Its difcult to
learn and it takes a lot of dedication
and time to learn the discipline,
Fulvio said.
Fulvios favorite style of skydiving
is called freeying, where anything
goes.
To me, freeying is the most unin-
hibited type of ying and gave me the
most freedom to move my body in the

Large species of parrots, such as the
macaw and the cockatoo, can live to be
more than 75 years old in captivity.
They can outlive their owners, so it is
often necessary for owners to put the
birds in their wills.

Legally, animals cannot inherit proper-
ty or money. If a pet owner wants their
pet to be cared for in a specic way after
the owners death, a trust can be estab-
lished in the will. The trust devotes a

This November, just like all of the others
for the past ve years, Pack 458 of San Mateo
hit the streets of the Parkside neighborhood
asking people to donate to the Second
Harvest Food Bank.
The pack has just 16 members out of the
total of 8,500 members in the county, said
Donn Lovell, cubmaster of Pack 458.
Lovell, cubmaster since 2009, said in this
years Scouting for Food, as the event is
called, 12 of the boys in the pack collected
1,300 pounds of food, which consisted of
dried pasta, canned food, frozen turkeys and
ham, among other items.
On Saturday, Nov. 9, a bright and warm
Indian summer day, the boys teamed up and,
led by a parent leader, spent two hours plac-
ing more than 1,800 door hangers on houses.
It was a very nice day, said Lovell, who
was overseeing the event. There have been
years where it was pouring rain.
On Nov. 16, the boys of Pack 458 came back
to the houses whose residents responded to the
door hangers, and hauled 20 pound bags of
food into collection vehicles. The collection
vehicles then deposited the bags of food they
were carrying into one really large truck which
transported the bags directly to the Second
Harvest Food Banks San Carlos location.
Lovell hopes events like Scouting for
Food instill the kids with values that hard
work and dedication is rewarding.
Their hard work beneted others, Lovell
said. There were hundreds of families who
got food because of their hard work.
Saturday, Nov. 16 also happened to be
the day Second Harvest dropped off food to
be given to families at the Parkside
Elementary School in San Mateo. Lovell
said about 10 of the kids volunteered to
hand out food to families at the school, so
they got to see for themselves the impact
they were having on families.
The contribution from Pack 358 will go a
long way toward helping Second Harvest
Food Bank feed our hungry neighbors,
Second Harvest spokeswoman Caitlin Kerk
wrote in an email. The 1,300 pounds of food
donated is the equivalent of 1,083 meals.
Ardys Sandell, who volunteers distributing
food at the St. Johns Lutheran Trinity
Methodist church in Sunnyvale, said the
church receives food from Second Harvest and
distributes the food in bags every Tuesday
morning. If people have cards signaling they
qualify, they can get bags of food containing
fresh fruit and vegetables, can foods, rice and
sometimes eggs and frozen meats.
Sandell has also been the recipient of food
donations, when she accepted a couple more
people into her home for a while. Sandell said
the bags really supplement a main meal, and
arent substitutes for them, but the donations
really help out.
The scouts also gathered 735 pairs of glass-
es, along with bags of candy, which were sent
to the 101st and 455th Airborne divisions in
the U.S. Army.
There are a lot of San Mateo soldiers,
Lovell said. When you talk to the soldiers
they like anything from home because it
means people are thinking of them. Soldiers
would use toys to hand out to kids in war-torn
villages.

Boys and den leaders of San Mateo Pack 458 set out with wagons in tow and walked the

PG&E unveils $38
million gas control center
PG&E Friday unveiled a $38 million gas
control and dispatch center in San Ramon that
will serve as the main monitoring facility for
the utilitys gas system and 70,000-square-
mile service area, utility ofcials said.
In a statement, utility ofcials described the
facility as PG&Es around-the-clock nerve
center, that receives real-time information to
help staff better anticipate and respond to pub-
lic safety issues. The center is located in the
Bishop Ranch ofce park in the 6100 block of
Bollinger Canyon Road off of Interstate 680
in San Ramon.
The bone-chilling temperatures that blasted
California this week prompted PG&E to pro-
vide a record-breaking amount of natural gas
on Thursday to homes and businesses through-
out its service area from Bakerseld to Eureka,
PG&E spokeswoman Brittany Chord said.
The spokeswoman said the new control cen-
ter enabled the utility to push more than 4.5
billion cubic feet of gas through its system to
warm buildings statewide.
Employees at the state-of-the-art center use a
90-foot-long video wall and smart boards that
allow them to keep an eye on regional data in
real time.
Center employees monitor 6,750 miles of
transmission pipeline and 42,000 miles of
distribution pipeline, according to utility of-
cials.

ing, and a freeze warning has been issued for
the entire Bay Area aside from San Francisco.
Freezing temperatures are expected again on
Sunday night and into Monday, forecasters said.
Drivers are warned to expect icy roads, espe-
cially at higher elevations, and limited visi-
bility in some areas Friday and Saturday. In
addition, residents should be aware of the risk
of hypothermia for people and animals stay-
ing outdoors overnight.
Motorist ees after striking bicyclist

ing, according to police.

California PUC to join in
BART disabled train probe
San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit of-
cials say a state agency is also looking into
why a disabled train stranded hundreds of pas-
sengers in a tunnel that sent at least nine peo-
ple to the hospital.
BARTspokeswoman Alicia Trost said Friday
that the California Public Utilities
Commission will be a part of the probe on
why a train became stuck in the Berkeley hills
tunnel due to an electrical short causing the
emergency brakes to suddenly activate on
Wednesday.
Trost says the CPUC initiates an investiga-
tion whenever more than two people require
medical transport after a transit incident.
The 10-car train with around 700 passengers
was traveling from Pittsburg to San Francisco
came to a stop when the brakes activated and
created a smoky dust that made several passen-
gers ill.
FDA approves
breakthrough hepatitis C drug
Federal health ofcials have approved a
highly anticipated hepatitis C drug from
Foster City-based Gilead Sciences Inc. that is
expected to offer a faster, more palatable cure
to millions of people infected with the liver-
destroying virus.
The Food and Drug Administration said
Friday it approved the pill Sovaldi in combi-
nation with older drugs to treat the main forms
of hepatitis C that affect U.S. patients.
Current treatments for hepatitis C can take
up to a year of therapy and involve weekly
injections of a drug that causes u-like side
effects. That approach only cures about three
out of four patients. Sovaldi is a daily pill that
in clinical trials cured roughly 90 percent of
patients in just 12 weeks, when combined
with the older drug cocktail.
Between 3 million and 4 million Americans
are estimated to carry the blood-borne virus,
though most do not even know they are infect-
ed. Others have tested positive but are waiting
for more effective treatments to become avail-
able. Hepatitis C symptoms may not appear
until two or three decades after infection,
though the virus can cause liver failure, cirrho-
sis and cancer if left untreated.

Smith said his clients conduct is
not a case of molestation.
Affection, certainly, but not
molestation.
On Oct. 18, prosecutors say a
school custodian looking out a
classroom window at the San
Mateo school saw Renz sitting on
a bench with his arm around the
girls shoulder
with his hand on her hip. Renz
kissed the student twice, according
to the custodian who reported the
alleged incident to school admin-
istrators. He was immediately
removed and police contacted.
Renz denied the kissing and
touching, according to the District
Attorneys Ofce.
Smith said Renz did touch and
kiss the child, who was very affec-
tionate with him, but not in a
sexual way.
Apolice search of Renzs laptop
computer reportedly turned up
downloaded child pornography.
Smith said he has yet to see the
alleged illegal material so cant
evaluate the validity of the claim.
Renz was arrested in October but
is only appearing in court now
because he posted $100,000 bail
shortly after being taken into cus-
tody. At his initial arraignment,
prosecutors asked to increase bail
to $300,000, citing the alleged
pornography found after he had
already posted the lesser amount,
but was denied.
The request was totally inap-
propriate because Renz is not a
ight risk and should not be pun-
ished with incarceration prior to a
conviction, Smith said.
Renz returns to court Jan. 31 for
a preliminary hearing.
Renz, who worked for about a
month at the schools Childrens
Annex, is on administrative leave.

Child-care aide pleads not
guilty to kissing 6-year-old
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
The ATM robbery defendant who
authorities believe stabbed him-
self in the abdomen twice after a
high-speed chase from Burlingame
police last year was sentenced
Friday to a year in jail and ve
years probation for robbery, evad-
ing police and using a weapon.
Prosecutors sought four years in
prison for Daniel Thomas Cassidy,
25, but he instead received the jail
term which can be modied to a
residential treatment program. He
must also pay restitution in an
amount to be determined later.
As part of his
plea deal,
Cassidy waived
all the credit he
a c c u mu l a t e d
while in cus-
tody on a
$100,000 prop-
erty bond.
Aut hor i t i es
say Cassidy
approached a woman at the ATM
on 1145 Broadway and ashed a
large folding knife just before 9
p.m. Aug. 28, 2012. He allegedly
ordered her to withdraw $100 three
times and fled after taking the
money. ABurlingame ofcer spot-
ted him and pursued his vehicle
until Cassidy allegedly lost con-
trol, went around a turn and crashed
into an occupied car. Cassidy con-
tinued his ight into Hillsborough
where he again lost control and
crashed into vegetation and ivy
near the Burlingame/Hillsborough
border. The ofcer shot a Taser
twice at Cassidy as he ran on foot
and, after subduing him, noticed
he had cut himself in several
places with the knife, including
two stab wounds to the abdomen,
prosecutors said.

WASHINGTON It doesnt rival
Amazon and Travelocity, but
President Barack Obamas much-
maligned health insurance website
nally seems to be working reason-
ably well most of the time.
Still, consumers are well-advised
to verify, not just trust.
More than 3.7 million people
visited HealthCare.gov this week
and it didnt crash, administra-
tion spokeswoman Julie Bataille
deadpanned Friday on a call with
reporters.
Ofcials say 29,000 people
enrolled the rst two days of the
week, exceeding total signups for
the 36 states served by the federal
site during October, the month of
its problem-plagued launch.
Online Spanish-language
signups, delayed because of initial
problems, will nally go live this
weekend in a soft launch to tease
out any lurking glitches.
Consumers around the country will
be able to use the new feature at
CuidadoDeSalud.gov. Apromotion-
al campaign in Spanish will follow.
Overall, work has shifted from
zapping technical gremlins that
frustrated consumers to cleaning up
garbled enrollment les that the
system has been delivering to
insurers.
The new process put in place
this week is making a difference,
acknowledged Karen Ignagni, head
of the largest industry group,
Americas Health Insurance Plans.
The enrollment les are getting
better, but there is more work to be
done to ensure consumers are cov-
ered.
While not calling it an error
rate, Bataille says mistakes on
those les are now affecting 1 in 10
transactions with insurers, down
from an estimated 25 percent.

NSA defending its global
cellphone tracking as legal
By Kimberly Dozier
WASHINGTON The National Security Agency on Friday
said its tracking of cellphones overseas is legally author-
ized under a sweeping U.S. presidential order. The distinc-
tion means the extraordinary surveillance program is not
overseen by a secretive U.S. intelligence court but is regu-
lated by some U.S. lawmakers, Obama administration insid-
ers and inspectors general.
Documents obtained from former NSA contractor Edward
Snowden showed that the NSAgathers as many as 5 billion
records every day about the location data for hundreds of
millions of cellphones worldwide by tapping into cables
that carry international cellphone trafc. The Washington
Post said the collection inadvertently scoops up an
unknown amount of American data as well.
The NSA said Friday it was not tracking every foreign
phone call and said it takes measures to limit how much U.S.
data is collected. The NSAhas declined to provide any esti-
mates about the number of Americans whose cellphones it
has tracked either because they were traveling overseas or
their data was irrevocably included in information about for-
eigners cellphones.

Leading local news coverage on the Peninsula

JOHANNESBURG Themba
Radebe spun slowly in a circle.
First he pointed his cellphone
camera at a group of children
chanting Nelson Mandelas name
as they waved posters of the anti-
apartheid champion. Then pivot-
ing to his right, Radebe aimed his
camera at a swaying group of
adults who sang in Zulu while
rocking and clapping.
A day after Mandelas death at
95, South Africans of all colors
erupted in song, dance and tears
Friday in emotional celebrations
of the life of the man who bridged
this countrys black-white divide
and helped avert a race war.
I dont think Mr. Mandela
belonged to black people, said
Alex Freilingsdorf, a Toyota exec-
utive at a Soweto dealership. He
belonged to South Africa.
Freilingsdorf and other white
South Africans mingled among the
hundreds of blacks gathered out-
side a home where Mandela lived
as a young lawyer in the rough and
tumble Soweto township.
The mood was simultaneously
celebratory and somber at the
impromptu street festival where
Radebe lmed scenes to share with
his family.
Im sorry, Im too emotional.
The tears ow too easily, said the
balding 60-year-old, his eyes
sparkling with tears as he reected
on how South Africas race rela-
tions have improved not per-
fect, but much better compared
with his childhood in the black
township.
This is a celebration of the
death, because we knew he was an
old man, Radebe said. He
brought a lot of changes to our
community, because I grew up in
apartheid. It was a very bad situa-
tion.
Song, dance, tears for Mandela in South Africa
SEOUL, South Korea North
Korea said Saturday it has deported
an elderly U.S. tourist who was
detained for more than a month,
apparently ending the saga of
Merrill Newmans return to the
North six decades after he advised
South Korean guerrillas still
loathed by Pyongyang.
North Korea made the decision
because the 85-year-old Newman
had apologized for his alleged
crimes during the Korean War and
because of his age and medical
condition, according to the
Norths official Korean Central
News Agency.
U.S. Vice President Joe Biden,
who is traveling in Seoul, wel-
comed the release and said
Newman was in Beijing. Aside
from an awkwardly worded alleged
confession last month, Newman
has yet to speak publicly since
being taken off a plane Oct. 26 by
North Korean authorities while
preparing to leave the country
after a 10-day tour.

By Christopher Torchia
JOHANNESBURG What
next for South Africa?
This racially charged country
that, on Nelson Mandelas
watch, inspired the world by
embracing reconciliation in all-
race elections in 1994 is again in
the global spotlight after the
loss of such a towering historical
gure. It is a time not just for
grief and gratitude, but also a
clear-eyed assessment of nation-
al strengths and shortcomings in
a future without a man who was a
guide and comfort to so many.
Its a new beginning, said
Kyle Redford, one of many out-
side the home of the anti-
apartheid leader who became the
nations first black president.
The loss of a legend is going to
force us to come together once
again.
He acknowledged that there is a
sense of what next: Where do we
go? What do we do? And how do
we do it?
Mandelas resolve rubbed off
on many of his compatriots,
though such conviction is tem-
pered by the reality that his
vision of a rainbow nation
failed, almost inevitably, to
meet the heady expectations pro-
pelling the country two decades
ago. Peaceful elections and rela-
tively harmonious race relations
dene todays South Africa; so do
crime, corruption and economic
inequality.
Mandela remained a powerful
symbol in the hopeful, uncharted
period after apartheid, even when
he left the presidency, retired
from public life and shuttled in
and out of hospitals as a protract-
ed illness eroded his once-robust
frame. He became a moral
anchor, so entwined with the
national identity that some jit-
tery South Africans wondered
whether the country would slide
into chaos after his death.
Does it spell doomsday and
disaster for us? retired
Archbishop Desmond Tutu asked
rhetorically Friday before declar-
ing that no, the country will not
disintegrate.
The sun will rise tomorrow
and the next day and the next,
said Tutu, who like Mandela won
the Nobel Peace Prize for ght-
ing apartheid and promoting rec-
onciliation. It may not appear
as bright as yesterday, but life
will carry on.

speak about the magnitude of the reported
effects the county faces.
San Mateo County is uniquely posi-
tioned to be impacted on two fronts by sea
level rise; both along the coastal zone and
along the Bayfront. So we need to be plan-
ning now for what will happen when our
seas rise, Gordon said.
San Mateo County is one of the top 10
hot spots in the country predicted to be the
most affected by sea level rise, Speier said.
In a 2012 study, scientists predicted that the
San Francisco Bay could rise up to 55 inch-
es at the end of the century, if not sooner,
Pine said.
Whether you believe in global warming
or not, the data on sea level rise is very
clear. Scientists who monitor this do see our
seas rising and, if you look at the state of
California, the state has one of the largest
coastal zones of any state in the nation,
Gordon said.
Oceanographer John Englander will be
Mondays keynote speaker. The oceans are
warmer than they were a century ago and sea
level rise is inevitable. But what people can
focus on is how to slow it and how to pre-
pare for it, Englander said.
We need to begin adapting while were
also being green and sustainable ... but we
need to separate out the fact that the sea is
going to rise and move the shore level in
the next century. Once you look at it that
way, it forces a different attitude; adapt
while were trying to slow the effects,
Englander said.
Counties in the Bay Area have too much at
stake; there are key public facilities located
in the areas that can be heavily affected by
sea level rise, Gordon and Speier said. They
caution about the impacts it could have on
the San Francisco International Airport,
Highway 101, wastewater treatment plants,
Bayfront communities and development,
harbor and shing activities in Half Moon
Bay and coastal agriculture.
San Mateo County has more property at
risk from sea level rise than any other coun-
ty in the state and about 110,000 local resi-
dents live in vulnerable areas, Pine said. But
individual cities and counties cannot face
this alone and 25 percent of those who have
registered for the conference are from out-
side San Mateo County, Pine said.
Gordon and Speier agree that one of the
most inuential things people can do now
is to engage in learning about the chal-
lenges they will face and how to collabora-
tively prepare.
I think its important for the public to
begin to engage in these kinds of issues
because its going to inform the planning
thats going to need to happen in our coun-
ties and local jurisdictions, Gordon said.
City staff, developers, business represen-
tatives, residents and government ofcials
are slated to attend the conference and will
need to work together to nd viable solu-
tions, Pine said. Sea level rise has been
described as a slow-moving emergency and,
although its too late to stop it from rising,
there is time to prepare, Pine said. There are
things that people can be doing now to
stave off rising sea levels, including invest-
ing in levees, creating and protecting wet-
lands that provide a natural buffer and think-
ing critically about how to approach devel-
opment along the Bay, Pine said.
How to address the challenges sea level
rise poses will be a learning process and
hosting formats that bring the public,
experts and government ofcials together
needs to continue, Speier said. Even if peo-
ple believe these predictions wont take
shape until the future, the time to do some-
thing is now, Speier said. The county cant
afford to be reactive as New York was during
hurricane Sandy, it needs to be proactive,
Speier said.
This issue requires regional leadership;
its not just an issue that respects city lines
or county boundaries, Speier said. As
such, I think we want to be in the forefront
of addressing it.
Its encouraging that a range of environ-
mental experts, city planners, development
companies, merchants, residents and gov-
ernment ofcials are attending the confer-
ence; because its the start of a long process
that can no longer be postponed, Pine said.
The conference is the beginning of the
dialogue and brainstorming of how we can
respond, Pine said. There is no silver bul-
let, and it will take collaboration across
city lines and partnerships with state and
federal government to make headway here,
particularly with respect to securing fund-
ing.

in San Mateo County is held Monday, Nov.
9 from 8 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the College

presidents meet; protests persist

over Ukraines decision to scrap a deal with

Yanukovych met with Russian President
Vladimir Putin in the Russian city of Sochi

Yanukovychs ofce said the talks were about
trade and economic cooperation and prepara-
tions for signing a partnership agreement.
No details were given, but the meeting is a

broke out last month after Yanukovych
stepped back from signing a long-anticipat-

cal ties with the European Union.
Yemen says Saudis behind attack
ADEN, Yemen Saudi militants were
behind the massive car bombing and assault
on Yemens military headquarters that killed
more than 50 people, including foreigners,
investigators said in a preliminary report
released Friday. Al-Qaida claimed responsi-
bility for the attack, saying it was retaliation
for U.S. drone strikes that have killed dozens
of the terror networks leaders.
The attack the deadliest in Sanaa since
May 2012 marked an escalation in the ter-
ror networks battle to undermine the U.S.-
allied government and destabilize the
impoverished Arab nation despite the drone
strikes and a series of U.S.-backed military
offensive against it. U.S. forces also have
been training and arming Yemeni special
forces, and exchanging intelligence with the
central government.

until January, but could be extended if his
search for housing continues past then. He
lost his car and had home renters insurance,
but not everything is covered.
Marlin was born in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii,
and moved to Missouri after the death of his
father in a Navy accident. He also spent
time in Florida, where his stepfather worked
for the National Aeronautics and Space
Administration, and Illinois before study-
ing photography at National Technical
Institute for the Deaf, a college of Rochester
Institute of Technology in New York.
During summer, he would hitchhike and
visited California, nding himself loving
the area.
When I graduated, I decided to make a new
life for myself in California, said Marlin,
who worked for the governments U.S.
Geological Survey in Menlo Park for 28
years as a cartographer. I stopped here and
havent left.
In the early 70s, he settled in
Burlingame, paying $75 for his first
months rent. He has continued his travels
throughout the years, making his way to
Egypt, Italy, Greece, Turkey and other coun-
tries. He became a San Francisco Giants fan,
then enjoyed walking around town, reading
newspapers, running errands and shopping
once he retired. His most recent trip was on
the cruise.
His stepbrother, Steve Daubs, said every-
one in town knows him and always says hi.
Anyone who comes in contact with him
walks away a better person, Daubs said.
Marlin was able to recover a small collec-
tion of Native American arrowheads he put
together at his grandparents farm in south-
eastern Missouri.
I took care of it and brought it every-
where I went, he said. Im so glad I was
able to nd this (in the burned building).
Marlin also recovered some photos, but
he was really disappointed to lose the ag
from his fathers cofn and quilts his grand-
mother made. He also missed the items in
his dining room, which included maps on
the wall with pins that documented all of his
world travels.
He is being allowed to go back into the
home this morning as well to recover more
belongings.
Does he plan on staying in the area?
I think my heart is in San Francisco i s
a clich, but I want to stay for ve years or
more, he said. Im considering moving
back to Missouri because Missouri is where
I grew up, I have relatives back there and my
father is buried there. I love Missouri, but I
consider it my second home. Its beautiful
here and the weather is nice.
Since the Donnelly home was so close to
restaurants, stores, the airport, Caltrain,
his bank and San Francisco, Marlin said he
it was the perfect location and he didnt want
to leave.
He said the support of his friends, the
police and others here have helped him get
through the loss of his home. The Red Cross
has been of help, along with Partners in
Communication who offered pro bono inter-
pretation services. The Love Awakening, a
nonprot volunteer organization of which
Marlin is part, bought him a winter coat and
provided him with a computer.
I want to stay put here and take time to
start over here, Marlin said. I want to nd
something close to the same area. I have to
start all over again and buy all the essential
things, but life goes on.
The Red Cross has advised him get to get
a legal team together to do a thorough
investigation of the re, he said.

OPINION 9
Rush Limbaugh attacks the pope
Editor,
Pope Francis stated, in a recent
interview on TN TV Channel, that we
are now living in an unjust system in
which money is the king, the center.
He blasted unfettered capitalism as a
new form of tyranny.
For this statement, Rush Limbaugh
called the pope a socialist at best and
a communist at worst. No pope ever
promoted a welfare state that perpetu-
ally cares for the poor but, to their
ultimate goal to enable the poor to
rise above poverty and to reach a
level of dignity to commensurate
with their human dignity. The pope
stresses that access to necessary
goods is certainly a natural right but
does not mean that the natural moral
law requires the poor to become
enslaved to the state by permanent-
ly keeping them dependent. Does this
sound like a commie comment? Then,
the pope stated in his interview that
the world has changed and has
become a throwaway culture that dis-
cards young people as well as its
older people. He also points out that
in certain European countries, there is
youth unemployment of 40 percent or
higher; a generation of young people
that do not have the dignity that is
brought by work.
Lastly, Pope Francis comment on
trickle-down economics is just restat-
ing basic economics that largely
unregulated free-market capitalism
ultimately results in an unequal distri-
bution of wealth. He, in my opinion,
is referring to the corporate elite who
now monopolize the economies of
the world. In the past 40 years in the
United States, the Corporate Elite
have succeeded in deregulating the
regulatory laws that kept them in
check. Rush Limbaugh, doesnt this
sound more commie then what the
pope said in his interview?

Letter to the editor
By Lt. Col. Eric Lopez
In June of this year, soldiers in my
battalion, the 2nd Battalion of the
2nd Infantry Regiment from Fort
Knox, Ky., deployed to Zabul
Province, Afghanistan to train, advise
and assist members of the Afghan
National Security Forces. Our
assigned mission was to assist our
partners during their transition to an
independent, trained and competent
security force. Their ability to suc-
cessfully protect the Afghan populace
and preserve Afghan sovereignty
would serve as our culminating
achievement. Each day we are engaged
with our counterparts and each
engagement displays their growth as
a professional military force.
When we deployed, we recognized
we would miss the holiday season
with the timing of our departure, but
we understood the importance of our
mission and accepted the sacrices
associated with our choice to serve in
the military. As a commander, I was
extremely proud of the young men and
women in my formation willing to
pay such a high price because of their
calling to serve. As an American, I
was humbled to be surrounded by
intelligent, physically t, intuitive,
creative and disciplined patriots ready
and willing to serve on behalf of their
families, friends and countrymen.
History will one day praise this gen-
eration of warriors and identify them
as Americas Strongest Generation
because of their willingness to volun-
teer, serve, and sacrice during the
nations longest era of persistent con-
ict and military actions.
Recently, another corps of great
Americans from Hillsborough, San
Mateo and areas around the Peninsula
decided to recognize our efforts. We
were overwhelmed by the generosity,
kindness and gratitude represented by
more than 200 care packages along
with countless thoughts and prayers.
The packages arrived the day after
Thanksgiving and gave my battalion
a tremendous morale boost during one
of the more difcult periods of a
deployment. I am grateful for caring
and supportive Americans who take
time to lovingly pack boxes for sol-
diers they may never meet. I was once
again humbled to witness the depths
of patriotism that still exists in the
greatest country in the world.
Specically I would like to thank
the Hillsborough Police Department
for organizing the event and the San
Mateo City Clerks Ofce for their
contributions. Comprehensively, I
would like to convey my appreciation
to all those who donated money,
helped pack boxes, write letters, com-
plete U.S. Postal Custom Forms and,
most importantly, offered soldiers in
my battalion emblems from a grateful
nation. Thank you.

Sacramentos
rosy scenario
By John McDowell
W
eve just come through our annual days of shop-
ping deals. Hillsdale and Tanforan were packed on
Black Friday as stores enticed shoppers with one-
time-only deals. Moreover, if surveys are accurate, not a lot of
work was done on Cyber Monday when online deals kept
ofce workers away from their normal duties. There seems to
something is the American psyche that says spend, spend,
spend! If the deals are good enough, and if the family budget
can afford it, why not?
Unfortunately, that same spend, spend,
spend mentality pervades the thinking of
Sacramento politicians. Now that
Democrats hold a two-thirds supermajority
in both legislative houses, there is little
to stop them from acting on the impulse,
whether the state budget (the ever-increas-
ing money you shell out in taxes) can
accommodate it or not.
The impulse to spend was evident in the
reception given the release two weeks ago of the Legislative
Analysts Ofce Californias Fiscal Outlook that purports to
show budget surpluses as far as the eye can see. Senate
President pro Tem Darrell Steinberg said in part that the report
means the state can expand worthy programs for people and
our economy. Assembly Speaker John Perez chimed in that
the state can now make use of one-time money and stronger
revenues to reinvest in California families.
Progressive/liberal groups added to the chorus. According to
Capital Public Radio News, Chris Hoene, executive director of
the California Budget Project, immediately called for reinvest-
ment in programs like welfare. These statements are all
Sacramento speak for spend, spend, spend!
Yet California is not in any position to turn on the spending
spigot, no matter what the progressives in Sacramento think.
It turns out the so-called budget surpluses are mostly illusory
anyway. Yes, the projected surpluses are based on the usual
political smoke and mirrors employed by politicians and
bureaucrats. Who could have guessed at such a thing?
The LAO report rests on the proverbial rosy scenario with
Californias projected economic growth rate far outstripping
that of the nation as a whole. Carson Bruno of Stanford
Universitys Hoover Institution points out that the LAO report
assumes that between 2014 and 2020 Californias unemploy-
ment rate will be an average of just 0.4 points above the
nations. This in a state where the current unemployment rate
is a full 1.4 percent above the national average, and in one
county the unemployment rate is over 25 percent.
The LAO itself makes clear that repaying much of what was
borrowed from state special funds to cover increased spending
over the last decade (over the last decade total Sacramento
spending has increased by almost 40 percent) is not included
in the reports assumptions. Let the reports authors speak for
themselves, liabilities, including some items on the gover-
nors wall of debt and the states huge retirement liabilities
(particularly those related to the California State Teachers
Retirement System), remain unpaid under our forecast. If addi-
tional payments are made in the future to repay these liabili-
ties or to provide ination adjustments to universities, the
courts, state employees and other programs, the operating sur-
pluses in our forecast would fall signicantly below our projec-
tions (italics mine).
The huge retirement liabilities of the California State
Teachers Retirement System deserve a special look. Carson
Bruno warns us that CalSTRs has an unfunded liability ranging
from between $71 billion to $167 billion. Because of that,
according to the LAO, the state should be adding at least $4.5
billion annually in contributions to reduce that sum and
strengthen the plan. Such needed payments would greatly
reduce or eliminate any of the supposed surpluses over the next
few years.
If this isnt bad enough, just about the time the LAO issued
its rosy scenario, California was named, for the third year in a
row, the worst run state in America by Wall St. 24/7. Its
ranking notes that, California carries an Acredit rating from
Standard & Poors, and an A1 from Moodys both worse
than any other state except for Illinois. Explaining its rating,
Moodys pointed to the states history of one-time solutions
to resolve its budgetary gaps. It also noted the states highly
volatile revenue structure, due to its overreliance on wealthy
taxpayers.
We are living in the worst run state in America, facing huge
retirement liabilities, with unrestrained politicians salivating
over an economic report that upon further review does not
inspire condence in its supposed surplus projections.
Its one thing for families to spend big on holiday shop-
ping. Good deals and condence in the family budget allow for
shopping sprees on Black Friday or Cyber Monday. But its
another thing altogether for Sacramento politicians to take
imsy projections and turn them into excuses for expand-
ing, reinvesting or just plain increased spending. We can
and should do better.

Big movers

NEWYORK Good news was nal-
ly good news for the stock market on
Friday.
Stocks rose sharply after the govern-
ment reported a fourth straight month of
solid U.S. job gains, the latest encour-
aging sign for the economy.
The strengthening job market focused
investors on the nations improving
economy instead of concerns about the
Federal Reserves stimulus, snapping a
ve-day losing streak for stocks.
Stocks had been falling this week
after a string of positive economic
reports made investors worry that the
Fed would soon pull back on its $85 bil-
lion in monthly bond purchases, which
have kept long-term interest rates low
and supported the stock market.
Now that hiring is showing consis-
tent strength, investors seem to be let-
ting go of their worry that the economy
isnt ready for the Fed to start weaning
the U.S. off that stimulus.
The jobs report was outstanding,
said Randy Frederick, a director of trad-
ing and derivatives at Charles Schwab.
Its refreshing to see the markets react
positively, because weve been in a
mode for so long of good news is bad
news.
Employers added 203,000 jobs last
month after adding 200,000 in October,
the Labor Department announced before
the U.S. stock market opened on Friday.
Novembers job gain helped lower the
unemployment rate to 7 percent from
7.3 percent in October.
Stocks jumped at the open and moved
higher throughout the day. The Dow
Jones industrial average rose by as much
as 200 points in early afternoon trading
before easing back slightly before the
close.
The Dow closed up 198.69 points, or
1.3 percent, to 16,020.20. The Standard
& Poors 500 index rose 20.06 points,
or 1.1 percent, to 1,805.09, its biggest
gain in a month. The Nasdaq composite
climbed 29.36, or 0.7 percent, to
4,062.52.
All 10 sectors in the S&P 500 index
rose. Industrial stocks and others that
tend to rise the most when the economy
is growing posted some of the biggest
gains. The jobs report showed that man-
ufacturers added 27,000 jobs, the most
since March 2012.
General Electric rose 49 cents, or 2
percent, to $26.94. Plane maker Boeing
increased $2.45, or 2 percent, to
$135.18.
Now were getting investors trading
more on fundamentals and long-term
earnings for next year, said Mike
Serio, regional Chief Investment Ofcer
for Wells Fargo Private Bank. There
may be some backbone to the econo-
my.
Fridays jobs news follows other
upbeat signals this week on hous-
ing, manufacturing and economic
growth.
Signs that the recovery is becoming
more entrenched may lure more buyers
back into the stock market, supporting
prices, said JJ Kinahan, chief deriva-
tives strategist at TD Ameritrade.
Despite steady gains for the market over
the last ve years, some investors have
remained wary after the collapse of
2008.
Were seeing good numbers,
Kinahan said. Does this encourage
people who have been underinvested all
year to come in and spend some money
on the market?
Fridays gains ended a mini-slump for
the market in December. Fears of the Fed
pulling back on its stimulus had made
traders nervous when they saw the slew
of good economic reports.
The good-news-is-bad-news attitude
has at times stalled the markets impres-
sive run-up this year.
The S&P500 index fell 1.5 percent in
June when Fed chairman Ben Bernanke
said that policy makers could start scal-
ing back stimulus later in the year. In
August, the market dipped again, falling
3.1 percent, as bond yields climbed in
anticipation of the end of stimulus.
Stock market jumps after strong jobs report
By Martha Mendoza
SAN JOSE AT&T, under re for ongoing
revelations that it shares and sells cus-
tomers communications records to the
National Security Agency and other U.S.
intelligence ofces, says it isnt required to
disclose to shareholders what it does with
customers data.
In a letter sent Thursday to the Securities
and Exchange Commission, AT&T said it
protects customer information and complies
with government requests for records only
to the extent required by law.
The telecom giants letter was a response
to a shareholder revolt sparked on Nov. 20
by the New York State Common Retirement
Fund, the ACLU of Northern California and
others. The groups are demanding that AT&T
and Verizon be more transparent about their
dealings with the NSA.
In the letter, obtained exclusively by the
Associated Press before it was made public
by the SEC, AT&T said information about
assisting foreign intelligence surveillance
activities is almost certainly classied. The
company said it should not have to address
the issue at its annual shareholders meeting
this spring. Nicole Ozer, technology and
civil liberties policy director at the ACLU of
Northern California said AT&T has over-
stepped its bounds.
Its outrageous that AT&T is trying to
block the shareholder proposal, she said.
Customers have a right to know how often
their private information is ending up in the
governments hands.
Apple wants Samsung
to pay $22M for legal bills
SAN JOSE Apple wants Samsung
Electronics to pay $22 million of the legal
bills that the iPhone and iPad maker has
rung up so far defending its mobile device
patents in a courtroom battle.
The money sought in documents filed
Thursday would be in addition to the $930
million in damages that juries decided
Samsung owes Apple Inc. after hearing evi-
dence of patent infringement in two sepa-
rate trials held in a San Jose, Calif., federal
court during the past 15 months. The latest
verdict was handed down last month.
Apple is asking U.S. District Judge Lucy
Koh to order Samsung to pay $15.7 million
in attorney fees. That would cover less than
one-third of the more than $60 million that
Apple says it owes its lawyers in the case.
Apple also wants Samsung to reimburse
its lawyers for $6.2 million in various
expenses. AJan. 30 hearing has been sched-
uled to examine Apples requests.
Apple guides shoppers
inside stores with iBeacon
NEW YORK GPS will tell you how to
get to the nearest Apple store.
With iBeacon, Apple hopes to guide you
around once youre inside, whether its to
pick up an order, upgrade to a new iPhone or
shop for a pair of headphones.
The implications of iBeacon go beyond
Apple stores. One day, commuters might get
information on subway delays as they stand
on the platform, while museum visitors
might get details on the painting they are
standing in front of.
Other retailers will be also able to offer
deals or track which aisles shoppers linger
in the longest.
In-store location technology does raise
privacy concerns, though many shoppers
have shown a willingness to be tracked if
theres something in it for them.

The U.S. drew a daunting task for
next years World Cup: difcult oppo-
nents, tropical venues and a wearying
9,000-mile zigzag journey across
Brazil.
The Americans wound up with the
potentially punishing group they
feared and will play Ghana, Portugal
and Germany next June as they try to
achieve a U.S. first: reaching the
knockout phase twice in a row.
While Ghana eliminated the
Americans in 2006 and 2010, the
Black Stars wont do it again.
The U.S. opens its seventh straight
World Cup appearance against Ghana
on June 16 at Natal.
The U.S. meets Portugal and 2008
FIFA Player of the Year Cristiano
Ronaldo six days later in the Amazon
rain forest city Manaus.
The Americans have just three off
days to recover before closing Group
G on June 26 in Recife against three-
time champion Germany.
I think we have the quality, if we
play our best ball, to get out of the
group, U.S. captain Clint Dempsey
said after Fridays draw set the eight
four-nation groups. You cant think
about, Am I the favorite? Am I the
underdog? Whats it going to be like
playing in the heat? Whats it going
to be like with the travel? Those are
factors that come into it, but at the
end of the day both teams have to deal
with it.
After having the shortest group-
play travel in South Africa, the U.S.
will have the longest in Brazil.
The Americans will be based in Sao
Paulo and face trips of 1,436 miles to
Natal, 1,832 miles to Manaus and
1,321 miles to Recife.
They also will play all three match-
es in the tropics, with the second and
third matches in the afternoon.
And the U.S. group has the top aver-
age FIFAworld ranking.
Its denitely one of the tougher
groups, if not the toughest, but at the
same time, this is what the World
Cups all about. You go there to play
against the best, American forward
Jozy Altidore said in a telephone
interview with The Associated Press.
I think the boys will be excited, will
be up for it.
U.S. coach Jurgen Klinsmann, who
replaced Bob Bradley 2 1/2 years ago,
played for Germanys 1990 World Cup
championship team and coached his
native country to third place at home
in the 2006 tournament, commuting
to Europe from his California house
in Orange County.
It couldnt get any more difcult or
any bigger, he said at the draw in
Costa do Sauipe, Brazil. Its a real
challenge. And well take it. Well
take it on, and hopefully were going
to surprise some people there.
The U.S. and South Korea were the
last remaining teams in draw pot
three. While the Americans landed in a
group with an average FIFA ranking
of 11.25, South Korea wound up in
Group H, creating a group with the
poorest average at 28.25.
I think the teams mentality is that
we can go and play with anybody,
American defender Matt Besler said.
Now were going to have to prove
it.
Germany beat the U.S. 2-0 in its
1998 World Cup opener in Paris
with Klinsmann setting up the rst
goal and scoring the second then
edged the Americans 1-0 on a contro-
versial goal in the 2002 quarternal
in South Korea.
Die Mannschaft is coached by
Klinsmanns former assistant,
Joachim Loew. The Americans beat a
second-tier German roster 4-3 in a
June exhibition at Washington.
With Jurgen Klinsmann, they have
another mentality, Loew said. I
learned a lot from Jurgen, so this is
special.
Ranked 14th in the world, the U.S.
has alternated quick exits with
advancement since returning to soc-
cers showcase in 1990.
After the draw four years ago, one
British paper used a headline EASY
for England, Algeria, Slovenia and
the Yanks, and The Sun called it the
best English group since the
Beatles.
The Americans wound up atop a
group for the rst time, and England
advanced as the second-place nation.
RALEIGH, N.C. The Carolina Hurricanes used a strong
third period to extend their winning streak to three games.
The Hurricanes scored four goals in the third period to
rally past the San Jose Sharks 5-3 on Friday night.
That was our best game of the year, Carolina coach Kirk
Muller said.
Elias Lindholm had a goal and two assists to lead the
Hurricanes, including the game-winner with six minutes
remaining.
Jordan Staal, Eric Staal, Riley Nash and Jay Harrison had
Carolinas other goals.
Cam Ward made 22 saves for the Hurricanes in his return
to the lineup after sitting out Carolinas previous two
games.
Justin Braun, Marc-Edouard Vlasic and Tommy Wingels
scored for the Sharks. Joe Thornton extended his point
streak to eight games with an assist in the rst period.
Backup goalie Alex Stalock made 30 saves, and San Jose
lost consecutive games in regulation for the rst time this
season.
Before the loss to the Hurricanes and Thursdays 5-1
defeat against Pittsburgh, San Jose had won six in a row.
I dont see an energized team right now, San Jose coach
Todd McLellan said. I see us chasing and the other team
dictating the pace of the game. I see us making sloppy
plays, sloppy passes even missing assignments that are
defensive assignments that we should be able to do in our
sleep right now.
That could be lazy or that could be fatigue. We have to
gure that part out.
Lindholms go-ahead goal came on a deection on Andrej
Sekeras wrist shot. Lindholm knocked it through
Stalocks legs after Sekera skated around the perimeter.
It was the rst career multi-point game for Lindholm,
who was Carolinas rst-round pick and fth overall in the
2013 draft.
That was the player we drafted, Muller said.
Eric Staal then added an empty-net goal with 30.2 sec-
onds remaining.
That has got to be a big condence builder for our guys
tonight to beat a team like that who we have a lot of
respect for tonight, Muller said.
San Jose had tied the score at 3 with 10:25 remaining in
the third period on Brauns slap shot from the point.
The Hurricanes scored twice earlier in the third period,
controlling much of the action to erase a 2-1 decit.
Nash rst deected a Harrison shot above Stalocks left
shoulder to tie the score at 2 at 4:54.

Harden scores 34, Rockets beat Warriors
HOUSTON The Rockets offense is one
of the best in the NBA. However, against
Golden State on Friday night, it was the
defense that was the key.
Houston leaned on its defense in the rst
quarter while jumping out to a double-digit
lead it didnt relinquish.
James Harden scored 34 points, Dwight
Howard had 22 points and 18 rebounds, and
the Rockets beat the Warriors 105-83.
Terrence Jones added 16 points and 10
rebounds for the Rockets, who had lost two
straight. Harden shot 13 for 22 from the
eld and 7 for 9 on free throws two nights
after shooting 3 for 17 including 0 for 10
on 3-pointers against Phoenix.
Howard was 12 for 20 on free throws as
the Rockets nished 25 for 39 from the
line. Houston was also 45 percent from the
eld.
Thats the way we play, Harden said. If
we dont get after them on the defensive end,
its going to be tough for us. We were get-
ting huge stops and getting out in transi-
tion. We did a good job early in the game of
putting pressure on their guards, and we got
things going our way.
Stephen Curry led the Warriors with 22
points and ve assists, but was just 5 of 14
from the eld while making all 11 free-
throw attempts. Harrison Barnes had 14
points and seven rebounds, Kent Bazemore
added 12 and David Lee 11 points as the
Warriors saw their two-game win streak end.
Golden State shot 36 percent from the
eld, including 2 for 16 on 3s.
Theyre a tough team, Houston coach
Kevin McHale said. They shoot a lot of 3s.
They shoot them at a really high percent-
age. We were trying to get them off the line
and keep pressure on them and keep our bids
up so they just couldnt walk into shots. For
the most part, we did a very good job of
that.
Golden State coach Mark Jackson said it
was a bad loss.
The way we started the ball game, there
have been times when our bench has been
bad, and we let them know, and tonight, the
starters did a poor job of setting the tone,
Jackson said. We got outworked. They
played with more force and that set the tone
the rest of the way.
The Rockets led 61-37 at halftime and
pushed the advantage to 28 on Hardens
three-point play less than 2 minutes into
the third quarter.
Golden State pulled to 74-50 on Jermaine
ONeals jumper midway through the third,
and the Warriors resorted to Hack-a-
Howard with 5:40 remaining in the period.
Howard made 2 of 4 from the line, and the
Warriors pulled to 76-54 on ONeals layup
with 5:06 to go in the quarter. Howard con-
nected on the next two free throws, and the
Warriors went away from hacking him.
set out at the beginning of the season and
it feels good to accomplish it.
It feels good, Faaita said. This is
what weve focused on since Day 1 and to
finally reach it, Im at a loss for words
right now. Im just really happy for this
team, this program.
Its a program that was handed a couple
of speed bumps along their journey to the
Open championship but was able to battle
through that adversity. And that same
theme played out Friday night against
Mitty.
Tied at 0-0 come halftime and having
benefited from a couple of missed field
goals by the Monarchs, Serra saw their
championship dreams dash down the Mitty
sideline in the form of Dakari Monroe,
who took a pitch 10 minutes into the third
quarter 74 yards into the end zone for the
games first touchdown. Monroes score
came after Mitty stopped a fake field goal
attempt by Serra and three plays after that,
the Monarchs had themselves all the
momentum and the lead.
Thats life in playoff football, said
Serra head coach Patrick Walsh, who
became a two-time CCS champion with the
win Friday. Its going to happen. Youre
going to be behind. Youre going to go
through adversity. ... [you have to] fight
through it.
Thats exactly was Serra did.
After putting up just 95 yards of total
offense in the first half and turning the
ball over once, Serra, behind Faaitas
passing, found a bit of a groove to start
the second half. While they didnt score on
their initial possession, the offense was
showing signs of life that werent there in
the first half.
Down 7-0, Faaita found Kava Cassidy
on a big third down and long conversion to
keep that crucial drive alive. Three plays
later, Faaita hooked up with an ailing
Anoai on a 30-yard touchdown pass, with
No. 11 doing most of the work in the red
zone after his catch.
I got a key block from my teammate Ian
McGuire and coach said we needed a big
play, Anoai said. I just did my best to
get into the end zone. When it comes down
to a championship, I didnt want to feel
like I let my team down. Coach needed me
and I wanted to make sure he knew that he
could count on me to step up to the plate.
He basically had the opportunity to
start believing in himself and believing in
his receivers to make plays, Walsh said of
his quarterback. Nobody panicked.
Everyone was just calm and it wasnt a
chaotic scene on our sideline. Thats a tes-
tament to our senior leadership. We found
our niche. Mitty made some great adjust-
ments from the first game that kept us off-
balanced in the first half.
The equalizing touchdown lifted the
entire Serra Nation. One play into the
fourth quarter, Camp came up with the turn-
ing point of the game. His interception
and return deep into Mitty territory set the
Padres up with first-and-goal from the 9-
yard line. Three plays later, Faaita pushed
his way into the end zone from a yard out
to give Serra a lead they would not relin-
quish.
And then, after the Serra defense shut
down Mitty one more time, Serra put the
game away on a 57-yard drive that culmi-
nated with McGees 2-yard run with 5:33
left in the game.
Theyve done that all year, Walsh said
of a defense that, with the exception of
Monroes big run, shut the Monarchs
down. They say defense wins champi-
onships and I dont think theres any doubt
about that. ... I guess tonight God is a
Padre.

Make your Holiday
By Terry Bernal
Menlo is set to play its biggest
game of the year, and ttingly will
be going up against its most chal-
lenging opponent of the postsea-
son.
After wrapping up the Nor Cal
championship Tuesday with a dra-
matic ve-set win over Sonora,
the Knights travel to Santiago
Canyon College in Orange, Calif.
to take on SoCal champion
Francis Parker School for the
California Interscholastic
Federation championship,
Saturday at 12:30 p.m.
Win or lose, Saturdays show-
down will mark the last game of
the season for both teams. Menlo
(32-5) looks to capture its rst
state championship in program
history, having gone winless in
four straight appearances on prep
volleyballs ultimate stage from
1999-2002.
Parker (28-5), meanwhile, is
aiming for its second straight and
eighth overall state champi-
onship. The Lancers captured the
Division IV crown last year with a
five-set win over Sacred Heart
Prep. Parker previously took
Division IVtitles in 2004 and 05,
the Division V title in 1998, and
Division III titles in 1986, 87
and 88.
[Parker is] just a really well-
balanced team, and they play good
volleyball, Menlo head coach
Steve Cavella said. So, well
have our hands full [Saturday] and
just do the best that we can.
Asecular private school, Parker
is a perennial sports powerhouse
located a stones throw from the
University of San Diego campus
about a mile inland from Mission
Bay. And while most of the
schools teams have been compet-
itive at a top level in recent years,
none have surpassed the success of
the girls volleyball program.
Parker head coach John
Landicho is in his second year at
the helm, but has enjoyed four of
the Lancers state championship
runs, having previously worked as
an assistant coach from 1998-
2007.
We embrace who we are,
Landicho said. We dont shy away
from the fact that we are a state
championship contender. You
play at a certain pace and a certain
level and you understand that there
are expectations that maybe bring
you some pressure, and at the same
time you just understand that thats
what we do as the Parker volley-
ball program. Thats who we are.
One of the facets making the
Parker squad who they are is a long
line of legendary coaching. The
program rose to prominence in the
80s after John Cook took over as
head coach in 1981. Cook went on
to post a 162-18 career record and
lead the Lancers to their rst two
state titles. He later served as an
assistant coach for the bronze-
medal U.S. mens team in the 1992
Summer Olympics in Barcelona,
then won two national champi-
onships as head coach of the
University of Nebraska womens
team.
Other storied coaches in the pro-
grams history are Eric Sato, a
1988 Olympic gold medalist
ranked as the No. 35 greatest vol-
leyball player of all time by
Volleyball Magazine in 2011 ,
who coached the Lancers to their
2004 and 05 championships;
Mark Presho, who coached Parker
for two years before being named
as a mens assistant coach at UC
Irvine, where he has enjoyed three
national championships; and
John Herman, who lead the
Lancers to their 1998 state title
before coaching the boys volley-
ball team to a SoCal champi-
onship last season. Herman also
currently serves as assistant coach
for the Parker girls team.
Theres been a pretty impres-
sive lineage of coaches so, Im
privileged to be in a seat that some
pretty good people have occupied
over the years, Landicho said.
Parker also boasts plenty of
experience on the court. The
Lancers graduated just two starters
from last years state champi-
onship squad, both of whom are
currently playing for Division I
college programs. This year,
Parker features another pair of
Division-I bound standouts in 5-
10 outside hitter Michaela Dews
(Harvard) and 5-8 libero Sarah
Benjamin (Stanford).
That returning core knew we
can be doing something really
good (this season), Landicho
said. So, getting back to state
and winning the state champi-
onship was the primary focus of
this team.
For a Menlo program that hasnt
appeared in a state-championship
bracket since 2008, every player
on the current roster will be play-
ing in their rst state title game.
The Knights arrived in Orange on
Thursday night and decidedly did-
nt practice Friday to instead
unwind from the eight-hour bus
ride.
In light of the winter weather,
the Knights wont have the chance
to go to Disneyland, despite lodg-
ing just a few miles from the
Magic Kingdom. However, they
are hoping to claim Were
going to Disneyland! in the
metaphorical spirit of champi-
onship celebration after
Saturdays big game.
We kind of came into [this sea-
son] knowing that this team had
talent, Cavella said. I think this
team set goals for winning certain
things and whatnot, but we
tried to keep them focused on what
they needed to do each day in prac-
tice, and what they needed to do in
each match, in order to get to the
places they wanted to be at the end
of the season.
Menlo one win from immortality

By Michael Wagaman
ALAMEDA As if playing in the Eastern
time zone where theyve lost 12 straight
games isnt bad enough, the Oakland
Raiders could be facing snowy conditions
for Sundays game in New York.
Rookie quarterback Matt McGloin could-
nt be more excited.
McGloin, who will be making his fourth
consecutive start for the Raiders, grew up in
Scranton, Pa., about two hours away from
MetLife Stadium and spent four years at
Penn State where he was the Nittany Lions
rst walk-on to start at quarterback in more
than 60 years.
Playing in the cold? Thats easy, especial-
ly when McGloin is expected to have about
200 family member and friends in the stadi-
um to support him.
The weather is going to be a nice change
for me, McGloin said. I grew up in the
East my whole life so Im used to playing in
the cold weather. Im used to the grip of the
ball, how it feels, how to keep your hands
warm and moist. That wont be too much of
an adjustment for me.
Getting Oaklands offense back on track
after back-to-back losses might be a bit
more difficult for the Raiders undrafted
starter.
Running back Darren McFadden has
already been ruled out because of an ankle
injury, while Rashad Jennings has yet to be
cleared after suffering a concussion against
the Dallas Cowboys on Thanksgiving.
Oakland will also be minus injured wide
receiver Denarius Moore, who leads the
team with ve touchdown receptions.
Then theres the cross-country trip to New
York. The Raiders havent won in the
Eastern time zone since beating the
Pittsburgh Steelers 27-24 on Dec. 26, 2009
not long after McGloin arrived at Penn
State as a walk-on.
Its not a statistic were proud of,
McGloin said. Any time youre traveling
across the country to play, itll be difcult.
But for me its exciting to go back East and
play in the cold.
The game will mark the Raiders second
trip to New York in four weeks. They lost to
the Giants 24-20 on Nov. 10 when McGloin
was still backing up Terrelle Pryor.
McGloin stepped into the starting job the
following week and hasnt looked back.
Though Oakland is just 1-2 in his three
starts, McGloin has passed for nearly 800
yards with four touchdowns and two inter-
ceptions. His 84.6 passer rating is signi-
cantly better than Pryors mark of 69.0, and
McGloin has only been sacked twice.
McGloin has also showed remarkable
poise for a rookie quarterback, something
Raiders coach Dennis Allen thinks will
serve the young quarterback well when he
starts in New York in front of family and
friends.
Nothing seems to overwhelm him,
Allen said Friday. Going to the mecca of
football in New York, I dont think thats
anything thats going to affect him that
much. He understands what hes got to do.
Ive been very impressed with the way that
hes handled himself, specically for an
undrafted rookie.
Allen has said the Raiders still want to see
what Pryor has to offer as a quarterback.
Cold weather doesnt faze McGloin
USATODAY SPORTS
Raiders QB Matt McGloin will start on Sunday.
By Janie McCauley
SAN FRANCISCO A December
matchup between fierce rivals that only
months ago looked to be a for-sure NFC
West championship decider has instead
become San Franciscos chance to show it
still belongs in the playoff mix. Period.
If the two-time reigning division champi-
on 49ers (8-4) cant beat the Seahawks (11-
1) at home Sunday, they will certainly have
a far more daunting task of trying to beat
them in Seattle if the teams meet again in
the NFC playoffs.
If this doesnt re you up, if this doesnt
re up the fans, then what does? 49ers
coach Jim Harbaugh said. I suppose
Abraham Lincoln riding across the eld
with a frock and a top hat, riding a horse,
waving an American ag. I doubt that would
re them up, if this game doesnt re them
up. The people that really love football
would be red up by this matchup.
Seattle clinched the NFLs rst playoff
berth with a rout of New Orleans on Monday
night, and could wrap up the West and rst-
round bye with a win at Candlestick Park.
The Seahawks are thinking far beyond the
rivalry, or that a team that reached the last
Super Bowl is on the other side.
Well, weve been in the midst of these
for a long time, coach Pete Carroll said.
Weve looked at every game like its a
championship opportunity for us, and
weve continued to see and feel it that way.
Here are a couple things to watch Sunday
in Seattles nal visit to Candlestick Park:
SAN FRANCISCOS 12TH MAN: The
49ers are calling for a red out this week-
end, as in all fans wear red. Anything to
help boost the energy at Candlestick for a
game of this magnitude.
Sure, the Niners would love to establish a
home-field advantage similar to what
Seattle has.
I would hope for that this week, that
Candlestick, we get it cranked up,
Harbaugh said. Make it a real great envi-
ronment, because itll be a great football
game.
Not that Seattle isnt accustomed to
noise. The Seahawks own home games
help them prepare and on Sunday they
will try for a franchise-best sixth road vic-
tory.
Our crowd is sensational, quarterback
Russell Wilson said. Theyre so loud every
week. So, yeah, I think it denitely does.
Were not afraid to go on the road and play
in a tough environment.
BRAGGING RIGHTS IN THE WEST:
Sure, Seattle has owned this series of late,
outscoring the 49ers 71-16 in the past two
meetings, both at home. Yet that hardly
matters with the high stakes on this one.
Its a new game, another Sunday, 49ers
linebacker Patrick Willis said. Weve
talked about it the last couple of weeks that
every game we play from here on it out is
important. Its important to where we go to
get into the playoffs. ... Once we get in,
then I feel like anything can happen.
The Seahawks dont doubt it. They have
had a good view of the Niners success the
past two years since Harbaugh came aboard.
Theyve been winning for a long time.
That just makes it that much more of a chal-
lenge and difcult to get, Carroll said.
Were going for it with everything weve
got this week.
THE DECEMBER STRETCH: Carroll
just chuckles at the idea that, as well as
Seattle has played, people are concerned
about the Seahawks peaking too soon to
sustain this level of success.
Im glad people are concerned about that;
weve been trying to manage a steady ascent
in our play, our execution, he said. This is
fourth quarter of the season, this is when
you nish it off and set yourself up for post-
season. We certainly havent gotten to the
point we think weve got it made, weve got
em now.

There should be some familiarity when
No. 1 seed Sacred Heart Prep (11-1) takes
on No. 7 Pacic Grove (11-1) in the
Central Coast Section Division IV cham-
pionship game at Independence High
School Saturday night.
Not only because the Gators dispatched
the Breakers 48-15 on their way to win-
ning the Division IVtitle last season, but
because Pacic Grove could be the only
team not named Terra Nova to give the
Gators defense t s.
Dont let the No. 7 seed fool you. Much
like Terra Nova, the Breakers are a quick-
strike offense, not liking to waste time in
nding the end zone. In their 77-53 win
over Carmel in the seminals, ve of the
Breakers touchdowns came on drives of
ve plays or less.
The offense is triggered by quarterback
Luke Lowell, who has passed for nearly
2,400 yards and 31 touchdowns. He also
averages ve yards a carry when he does
pull it down to run.
The Breakers ground attack is paced by
Jason Leach, who has rushed for nearly
1,600 yards and is one of two players
with 16 touchdowns scored. Jake Speed
also has rushed for 16 scores.
Nine times the Breakers have
eclipsed the 40-point mark and they
have twice scored 60 points this season,
their 77 points scored last week was a
season high and avenged Pacic Groves
lone loss of the season.
Pacic Groves offense is averaging
more than 450 yards of offense per game,
including 200 yards through the air.
Suddenly Sacred Heart Preps offense
which is averaging 33 points per game
looks pedestrian.
But if there is ever a team that is ever
proving the football adage, defense
wins championships, the Gators are it.
While Pacic Grove is averaging 47.5
points on offense, SHP is allowing just
eight per game. The Gators have given up
20 points or more just once this season
during a 29-15 loss to Terra Nova a
month ago. Pacic Grove is allowing an
average of three touchdowns per contest.
The Gators defense swarms to the ball,
lays hat and is completely condent in
their abilities. The defensive line is
anchored by Nic Collazo and Paul
Westcott, who have combined for 11. 5
sacks and have gotten consistent pres-
sure all season long. Linebacker Ben
Burr-Kirven is one of the most unheralded
defend-
ers in the Central
Coast Section,
with an ability to
apply pressure on
the quarterback, but
is equally at home

tions this season.
While all the typical
clichs are at work in the 7
p.m. championship game
Saturday night the team
with the fewest turnovers will
win, the team that executes the
best will win there appears to
be an even more simple formula at
work: Pacic Groves offense ver-
sus Sacred Heart Preps defense. The
winner of that matchup will win their
second CCS title in school history.

my head is studying.
The tendency for us is to just bury our

But, in general, especially during the
holiday season, everyone ends up slacking
off a little.
After all, the year has almost ended, so

Jacob Marleys Christmas Carol puts a
different twist on A Christmas Carol, the
1843 holiday favorite by Charles Dickens.
Instead of the miserly Ebenezer Scrooge
as the central character, playwright Tom
Mula focuses on his late business partner,
Jacob Marley. Marley has been dead for
seven years when his ghost appears on
Christmas Eve to warn Scrooge that he
needs to change his ways or be eternally
condemned.
The play looks at how Marley came to
make that appearance and what happened to
him and Scrooge thereafter.
In the production by Marin Theatre
Company, four actors, often assisted by two
stagehands, portray varied characters, but
each has a principal character. Khris Lewin
is Marley, while Nicholas Pelczar is
Scrooge. Stacy Ross plays the Record
Keeper, and Rami Margron is the Bogle.
Burdened by the chains of misdeeds that
he forged in his life, Marley is called before
the Record Keeper, who gives him a chance
to redeem himself. He must somehow get
the miserly Scrooge to change his ways and
nd the joy of Christmas.
Marleys guide for this daunting task is
the Bogle, a phantom or goblin.
Marleys rst step is to appear before
Scrooge and warn him, a scene thats simi-
lar to the one in Dickens tale. This doesnt
work too well, but Marley decides to go
back to a time when Scrooge wasnt so
miserly.
Act 2 of this two-act play differs from
Dickens format with the Ghosts of
Christmases Past, Present and Future
because Christmas Past emphasizes
Marleys youth. He and Scrooge navigate
the present together, but Scrooge is on his
own for the future. Theres redemption for
both in the end.

Out of the
Furnace is
suffocating
By Jake Coyle
Out of the Furnace is an earnestly crafted,
passionately acted working-class drama rusted
over by its noble intentions of steel-town sympa-
thizing.
Director Scott Cooper (whose rst lm, Crazy Heart, was
also drawn to the dwindling options of an increasingly obsolete hard
worker) sets his movie in Braddock, Pa., where he also shot it. The town
mill hovers as the empty heart of a corroded city.
Cooper lays the atmosphere on thick, suffocating the lm with worn inte-
riors, factory smokestacks, dive bars and highway overpasses. Its lled
with tattoos, beer bottles, muscle cars, annel shirts and, to top it off, Eddie
Vedder (who opens the lms with the song Release).
The lms clichis are many, but few will doubt its weighty sincerity, its
heavy-handed Rust Belt eulogizing.
Whats dying? The lives of blue-collar men. The lm is centered on
the Baze brothers, Russell (Christian Bale) and Rodney (Casey
Afeck), both of whom are nding that, as their father dies of
lung cancer from years at the mill, life in Braddock is dried up.
Russell is an honest mill worker and
Rodney is an increasingly lost Army man,
altered badly from repeated tours in Iraq.
Theyre two of the men in this very
macho ensemble that also includes
Woody Harrelson, Sam Shepard,
Willem Dafoe and Forrest Whitaker.
One of the pleasures of Out of the
Furnace is to be in the company of
such a ne group of faces, all of
them various shades of weariness

and anger. (Humor is emphatically not one
of the movies shades, as much as one might
hope for a rendition of YMCA from its
collection of mill worker, solider and police
ofcer types.)
No, Out of the Furnace is serious busi-
ness, announced from the rst scene at a
drive-in: a brutal, largely unprompted beat
down given by Harrelsons Harlan DeGroat,
who we later learn is a menacing
Appalachian meth-dealer and underworld
gure. Hes the re the lms title promises,
into which the Baze bothers will jump from
the furnace of Braddock.
Their route to him begins when Rodney
runs up a debt to a local bookie (Dafoe).
After stopping by to secretly help pay it
down (and have a drink pushed on him),
Russell rams a car and is imprisoned for
DUI. When he later gets out, things have
worsened: Their father has died, his girl-
friend (Zoe Saldana, the lms lone woman)
has left him for a cop (Whitaker), and
Rodney is now earning money in bare-
knuckle ghts. (The lm Warrior is an
obvious comparison to Out of the
Furnace.)
Afeck is excellent as Rodney, a tense,
confused shell of rage. He wants punish-
ment, and he finds it when he pushes,
against repeated advice, to land a bout in
DeGroats ring.
Harrelson, such an uncommon force in
movies, is again memorable here. When
Rodney asks him if he as a problem with
him, he gives a darker answer than Marlon
Brando gave in The Wild One: I got a
problem with everybody, he says.
Out of the Furnace makes an impression
thanks to these performances, as well as
Bales captivating stillness. Coopers drive
to tell a story of Rust Belt decay has clearly
elicited dedication in his cast.
But it has also given the lm such heavy-
handedness and hard-to-take allusions to
The Deer Hunter that Out of the Furnace
loses much of the authenticity it strives so
hard for.
Out of the Furnace, a Relativity Media
release, is rated R by the Motion Picture
Association of America for intense
sequences of violence and action, some
frightening images, thematic elements, a
suggestive situation and language.

confess that even the Nth time watching
The Polar Express or Elf carries a cer-
tain element of charm).
No. I am talking about actually being
productive in a less migraine conducive
way. So what works for me is making a
checklist and designating times for each
activity.
I know, sounds so cliche. But I really
cant complain because it actually
works like a charm?
Anyway, last week, I found myself com-
pletely drowned in a mound of assign-
ments, both school and extracurricular
related.
Under normal circumstances, I would just
waste my limited time, watching movies or
getting sucked into the endless time warp,
looking at funny memes on Facebook.
However, making said list with time
restrictions made me work quickly and ef-
ciently, often nishing each task a little
before the assigned time.
And that would give me and, I would
imagine, most others a great feeling of
accomplishment.
I know; this does not even compare to
the carefree days of vacation, but its the
next best thing.
But if you are a senior in high school,
like me, you just have a few more weeks
left before you can just enjoy your vacation
and reap the benets of having nished
your college apps.
I am denitely looking forward to not
having to meet app deadlines for the entire
spring semester.
And trust me; I know all the holiday
movies portray the season as quiet and
peaceful and just warm and fuzzy all over.
And it is crushing to realize that real-
ity is far from optimal, but just remem-
ber you are not alone.
So lets all be smart this holiday season.
Lets stop the procrastinating, get to writ-
ing our to-do lists, check off the done
items and sigh in satisfaction as we nish
our last days of work.
Trust me. It will all be so worth it.
So its settled then. We will all make our
to-do lists and nish off the tasks one by
one.
Lets do this ... tomorrow.

CAROL
By Jake Coyle
NEWYORK With the passing of Nelson
Mandela, the sweeping biopic Mandela:
Long Walk to Freedom transforms in the
midst of its theatrical release from a living
tribute to a big-screen eulogy.
The South African revolutionary and former
president, who died Thursday at the age of 95,
has long been a compelling gure for movies
a hero of uncommon dignity whose dra-
matic story and titanic accomplishments
insured his tale would be told often in lm.
But arguably the fullest movie portrait of
Mandelas life a lm made with his per-
mission and his familys support was
released just six days before his death.
News of Mandelas death broke as
Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom played
during its London premiere, where Mandelas
daughters Zindzi and Zenani were in atten-
dance. A spokesman with the lm said the
daughters requested that the lm continue,
though they immediately left the theater.
Producer Anant Singh, who has spent more
than a decade trying to get the lm made,
called for a moment of silence at the lms
end.
Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom opened
in a limited release of four theaters in the U.S.
last Friday. When the lm opens wide on
Christmas, its sure to draw larger crowds
moved to remember Mandela. The Weinstein
Co.s challenge is to not appear to be capi-
talizing on Mandelas passing, but celebrat-
ing his life.
Apublicist for the Weinstein Co. said the
lms release schedule wont be changed, but
declined to say if the movies marketing
would be altered.
Harvey Weinstein, the co-chairman of the
Weinstein Co., is renowned for his promo-
tional gusto. Hes pushing the lm for awards
recognition, which hasnt yet developed in
early prizes. But sentiment could ow toward
Mandela: Long Ride to Freedom following
Mandelas death as voting for the Oscars,
Golden Globes and other awards kicks in over
the next two months.
One of the privileges of making movies is
having the opportunity to immortalize those
who have made a profound impact on human-
ity, Weinstein said in a statement. We count
ourselves unspeakably fortunate to have been
immersed in Nelson Mandelas story and
legacy. Its been an honor to have been grant-
ed such proximity to a man who will go down
as one of historys greatest freedom ghters
and advocates for justice.
Mandela has been played by Danny Glover
in the 1987 TVlm Mandela (it aired while
Mandela was still imprisoned), Sidney
Poitier in the 1997 TV lm Mandela and De
Klerk, Dennis Haysbert in 2007s Goodbye
Bafana, Morgan Freeman in 2009s
Invictus and Terrence Howard in the recent-
ly released Winnie Mandela.

While Sony and Microsoft are spending
this holiday season asking video-game
players to invest in the future namely,
their respective new consoles, the
PlayStation 4 and the Xbox One
Nintendo is reminding us of the great
times it gave us in the past.
Remember how much you enjoyed
The Legend of Zelda: ALink to the
Past on the Super Nintendo back
in 1991? Well, how can you resist
The Legend of Zelda: A Link
Between Worlds, now out for the
Nintendo 3DS?
Likewise, Super Mario 3D
World (for the Wii U,
$59. 99) evokes
memories of
Super Mario
64, the landmark
1996 hit
that first
b r o a d -
ened Nintendos tenacious plumber into
three dimensions. Of course, were all
used to 3-D Mario by now, so 3D World
doesnt have the same impact. Nor does it
deliver the gravity-defying genius of
2007s Super Mario Galaxy. But it is a
charming, occasionally brilliant addition
to a 30-year legacy of video-game excel-
lence.
Like last years New Super Mario Bros.
U, Marios latest adventure is designed
to accommodate up to four players. The
four available characters have different
skills: Luigi can jump higher, Princess
Peach can float, Toad can run faster and
Mario more or less averages them out.
The distinctions are somewhat marginal,
though, since each level is designed so
that any one character can finish.
This time, the nefarious Bowser has
kidnapped a bunch of helpless fairies
called Sprixies. The goal, as always, is
to run and jump across each level, bounc-
ing off the heads of enemies while avoid-
ing fireballs, bullets and other obstacles.
There are a few new additions to the land-
scape, like transparent pipes that shoot
you across short dis-
tances, but the
S p r i x i e
K i n g d o m
d o e s n t
look sub-
s t a n t i a l l y
d i f f e r e n t
from Marios
M u s h r o o m
Kingdom.
The power-ups
are mostly familiar as
well, from the basic
mushroom that doubles
your size to the
Tanooki suit that
transforms you into a
raccoon that can swat
enemies with its tail.
New to the series is the
double cherry that turns
one Mario into two, but the most radical
addition is a furry cat suit that gives our
heroes the ability to climb walls an
essential skill if you want to find all the
green stars hidden throughout the game.
You can scamper through each level
without gathering any stars, but some
areas of the Sprixie Kingdom wont open
up unless youve accumulated a certain
number of collectibles. That includes the
games final castle, which requires 130
stars; when I arrived I had just 80, so I had
a lot of backtracking to do.
So you want to take your time and
explore each area as thoroughly as possi-
ble, while also being aware of a constant-
ly ticking countdown clock in the corner
of every screen. And you cant dawdle if
youre playing with friends eventually
youll be dragged to wherever the fastest
player is waiting.
Indeed, whether I was playing alone or
on a team, I found it most frustrating that
3D World wouldnt let me explore at my
own pace. Granted, the countdown clock
has been part of Mario games since the
beginning, but its a tired old gimmick.
Like any multiplayer-focused game,
3D World can get chaotic when youre
playing in a foursome. But its a high-
spirited kind of chaos, one that provokes
laughter rather than the cursing youre
likely to hear in, say, a Call of Duty
free-for-all.
Played solo, 3D World isnt quite as
endearing. Its not exactly dumbed down,
but it didnt bend my brain like Super
Mario Galaxy. Often, it feels like a clas-
sic 2-D Mario adventure translated into 3-
D, a game that prizes familiarity over
innovation. Its solid and satisfying, but
next time, I want to be wowed. Three stars
out of four.

BEVERLYHILLS Amural stenciled on
the side of a Hollywood gas station ve
years ago by the British street artist
Banksy has fetched more than $200,000 at
a Beverly Hills auction.
The 9-by-8 foot Flower Girl artwork
sold for $209,000 on Thursday at an auc-
tion that featured nearly 100 works by more
than 30 artists, according to the Los
Angeles Times. The winning bid came from
a Los Angeles buyer who requested
anonymity.
The mural shows a little girl holding a
ower basket under the eye of a surveillance
camera planted atop a tall stalk.
The seller of the mural was Eytan
Rosenberg, former owner of a gas station,
who had allowed a group of three street
artists to paint something on its white
brick wall.
Rosenberg sold the gas station last year
and painstakingly removed the artwork and
installed it in a sturdy aluminum frame. He
and his sister want to use the money from
the sale to build a car wash.
Banksy, who refuses to reveal his full
identity, began his career spray-painting
buildings in Bristol, England. He is known
for his silhouetted gures and spray-painted
messages.
The highest known price for a Banksy
work is about $1.1 million for a mural
called Slave Labor that was auctioned in
London in June.
Banksys work has caught the eye of A-
list Hollywood celebrities such as Brad Pitt
and Angelina Jolie, who recently bought a
smaller piece for $1 million.

DAILY JOURNAL SENIOR CORRESPONDENT
WHISKEY MAKES NEWS IN PITTS-
BURGH ... AGAIN: WHISKEY MAK-
ING, AND TASTING, IN THE HEART
OF WHISKEY REBELLION COUNTRY.
Its been centuries since the Whiskey
Rebellion shook up Western Pennsylvania,
but listening to Meredith Grelli tell the his-
tory of American Whiskey makes those
long-ago events come vividly to life. Grelli
is co-owner of Wigle Whiskey, an artisan,
small batch whiskey distillery in the Strip
District of Pittsburgh. When it opened in
2012, Wigle Whiskey became the rst new
distillery in that city since Prohibition. In
her hour-long tours, Grelli explains the
process of turning organic, local grain into
full avored white whiskey. Her entertain-
ing talk deftly blends whiskey knowledge
and Whiskey Rebellion lore.
HOW DID WIGLE WHISKEY GET
ITS NAME? The company is named after
Philip Wigle, a key gure in the Whiskey
Rebellion. Grelli said: We pronounce
Wigle like the word wiggle, because it
rolls off the tongue nice and easy. When
Wigle was alive, he likely would have pro-
nounced his name with a V and hard i
sound. No matter how youre saying it, its
probably closer to the actual proper pronun-
ciation of his name than how we say Wigle.
WHAT IS THE CONNECTION
BETWEEN PITTSBURGH AND
WHISKEY? Grelli said: Pittsburgh is the
birthplace of American Whiskey; Western
Pennsylvania was Kentucky before
Kentucky existed. At the height of whiskey
making in Western Pennsylvania, there were
4,000 documented stills. By 1850 the
Pittsburgh region was producing half a bar-
rels worth of whiskey for every man,
woman and child living in America. If you
were drinking in America in the 1700
through the late 1800s, you were likely
drinking Pittsburgh Rye Whiskey. It was
called Monongahela Rye and Pittsburgh was
known all over the world for the quality of
our Rye Whiskey.
WHAT WAS THE WHISKEY REBEL-
LION? The Whiskey Rebellion was a tax
protest that began in 1791 when farmers
who made whiskey were forced to pay a new
tax on their product. Grelli said: Whiskey
was so central to the lives of the people who
lived here in Pittsburgh in the 1700s that
they became incensed when the rst excise
tax levied in the US singled out whiskey dis-
tillers. The farmers who resisted, many of
them Revolutionary war veterans, contend-
ed that they were ghting taxation without
local representation; the newly formed
Federal government maintained that the tax
was imposed legally. Events escalated until,
in 1794, 500 armed men attacked the
Pittsburgh home of tax inspector John
Neville and burned it to the ground. At this
point troops were sent to quell the violence.
HOW WAS PHILIP WIGLE
INVOLVED? Grelli said, Our namesake,
Philip Wigle, got into trouble when he
demanded from a local tax collector his list
of all documented stills in the region. This
tussle led to the Whiskey Rebellion, which
pitted Pittsburgh distillers against 13,000
troops led to town by President George
Washington. As the army neared
Pittsburgh, the rebels went home and the
uprising ended without bloodshed. Wigle
and another man were convicted of treason
for tax resistance and sentenced to be
hanged. Washington pardoned both, howev-
er, and the two became the rst Americans to
enjoy a presidential pardon. The tax on
whiskey was repealed in 1802.
WHAT MAKES THE WHISKEY
REBELLION IMPORTANT? Grelli said,
The Whiskey Rebellion was the rst test of
federal power in this country and remains
the only instance in American history of a
president leading troops against his own
people.
HOW DOES WIGLE WHISKEY
MAKE ITS SPIRITS? Grelli said: We at
Wigle Whiskey are working to restore a
Pennsylvania tradition championed by
these rebellious distillers. We make spirits
much the same way Wigle and his friends did
when Pittsburgh was the epicenter of
American Whiskey we mill local, organic
grains on site and distill in small batches in
a traditional copper pot still. We are one of
the few distilleries in the United States that
produce whiskey in this way.
WIGLE WHISKEY PARTICULARS.
Wigle Whiskey is located at 2401 Smallman
St. in Pittsburgh, Pa. A$20 tour includes a
whiskey cocktail to start, a tour of the dis-
tillation process, a history of the Whiskey
Rebellion told through the eyes of Philip
Wigle, and a seated straight tasting. For

AND REMEMBER: I think that travel

air. ... Generally, its just a feeling of the
ability to do something that a lot of people
dont do and to get out of the norm that we
generally call life, Fulvio said.
She typically jumps from 13,000 feet in
the air and, although it was intimidating at
rst, she now feels empowered, Fulvio said.
Now its just a bunch of happiness. In the
beginning its a bit scary learning how the
wind feels on your body and how when you
move an arm what that does. Now that I have
the basic controls its learning how to
improve on that and learning how to com-
pete, Fulvio said.
In just the last month, shes participated
in three record-breaking formation events.
Formation skydiving is when a large group
of people join arms in the air; when it
comes to competing, its the more the mer-
rier. Competing in formations is very tech-
nical, they practice several dirt dives on the
ground, where they outline the exact layout
and specic spots where they grip each
other. When they compete, theyre required
to give the judges a diagram in advance and
everything needs to be identical and slot
specic once theyre in ight, Fulvio said.
She helped break the Texas state record by
creating a formation with 34 others, broke
the California state record by forming with
64 others and, the one shes most proud of,
broke the Womens Vertical World record in
Arizona with 63 skydivers last week, Fulvio
said.
Jumping out of a plane and being in the
open air and being in front of my friends
constantly just around me smiling; its just
a one minute rush of constant smiles, con-
stant positivity. Its more than most people
get in a year, and we get it in a minute,
Fulvio said.
Theres about one female jumper to every
three men; skydivers from all over the world
traveled to help set the new record, Fulvio
said. The women raised the bar and jumped
from 18,000 feet, high enough that they had
to use oxygen tanks while they were still on
the plane, Fulvio said.
A typical freefall lasts about one minute
and then takes several more minutes to
descend to the ground after pulling their
parachute, Fulvio said.
Its like 10 hours packed into one minute
of just exhilaration and happiness and
smiles and just elation, Fulvio said.
Although shes a skydiver for life, there
was a period when she had to take a break. In
2009, she married her best friend and fellow
skydiver Robert Bigley, Fulvio said.
Robby, as he was known, put himself
through a Ph.D. program by working as a
skydiving instructor and videographer,
Fulvio said. He had more than 5,500 jumps
and would compete in Canopy Relative
Work, in which divers open their parachutes
quickly after jumping.
Fifteen days after the two married, Robby
and a fellow jumpers parachutes became
entangled 6,000 in the air. Tragically, they
were unable to free themselves. He was 32,
Fulvio said.
When he died, the whole community came
to support her. They would even take shifts,
making sure to check on her every day,
Fulvio said. Her life revolved around sky-
diving and, after he died, she didnt feel any-
thing for a long time, Fulvio said. She knew
the only way for her to begin to love life
again was to get back into the air. Six
months later, she jumped toward recovery,
Fulvio said.
It was probably the most magical sky-
dive Ive ever had in my life, Fulvio said.
When I landed, I got down and started to
cry, and my friends came around me and
everyone just said were so happy youre
back
FULVIO
and investing, even if a pullback by the Fed
leads to higher interest rates. The Fed has
been buying bonds each month to try to
keep long-term borrowing rates low to spur
spending and growth.
The celebration on Wall Street suggested
that investors think a healthier job market,
if it fuels more spending, would outweigh
higher borrowing rates caused by a Fed pull-
back.
Its hinting very, very strongly that the
economy is starting to ramp up, that growth
is getting better, that businesses are hir-
ing, said Joel Naroff, president of Naroff
Economic Advisors.
The economy has added a four-month aver-
age of 204,000 jobs from August through
November, up sharply from 159,000 a
month from April through July.
The consistency (in hiring) is actually
reassuring, said Doug Handler, chief U.S.
economist at IHS Global Insight. Slow and
steady is something you can plan and build
on.
The Fed could start slowing its bond pur-
chases as soon as its Dec. 17-18 meeting.
Some economists think the Fed may only
telegraph a move at that meeting and wait
until early next year to cut back.
Even if the Fed does start reining in its
stimulus, most economists think growth
will accelerate next year. Drew Matus, an
economist at UBS, forecasts that growth
will top 3 percent in 2014, from roughly 2
percent this year. That would be rst time
growth had topped 3 percent for a full calen-
dar year since 2005.
In addition to the solid job gains and the
drop in unemployment, Fridays report
offered other encouraging signs:
Higher-paying industries are adding
jobs. Manufacturers added 27,000, the most
since March 2012. Construction companies
added 17,000. The two industries have creat-
ed a combined 113,000 jobs over the past
four months.

tion, you should appear at the hearing

objections with the court before the hear-
ing. Your appearance may be in person
or by your attorney.
If you are a creditor or a contingent cred-
itor of the decedent, you must file your
claim with the court and mail a copy to
the personal representative appointed by
the court within the later of either (1) four
months from the date of first issuance of
letters to a general personal representa-
tive, as defined in section 58(b) of the
California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days
from the date of mailing or personal de-
livery to you of a notice under section
9052 of the California Probate Code.
Other California statutes and legal qutho-
ity may affect your rights as a creditor.
You may want to consult with an attorney
knowledgeable in California law.
