105 Christmas Eve pardons

Two local men among the many pardoned by Gov. Jerry Brown this year
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF AND WIRE REPORTS

Two men who each served two years probation for unrelated drug offenses in San
Mateo County are among the 105 people
pardoned by Gov. Jerry Brown on what has
become a Christmas Eve tradition.
The pardons are largely people who have
been convicted of nonviolent drug offenses
and burglary more than a decade ago.

Jerry Brown

One such person is

Steve Gavis who was sentenced December 1986 in
San Mateo County for
transporting or selling a
controlled substance. He
finished his sentence in
December 1988 and,
according to Browns
pardon statement, has

since lived an honest and upright life,

exhibited good moral character and conducted himself as a law-abiding citizen.
Similarly, David Early White of San
Mateo County served two years probation
for his March 1987 conviction for possession of a controlled substance for sale.
As with the other pardons issued, Brown
stated that both Gavis and White have paid
his debt to society.

BETHLEHEM A.D. 2014

Other pardons issued Wednesday included

a Stanislaus County man sentenced to three
years probation in 1986 for taking expensive wine out of a wine cellar and drinking
it. Michael Joseph Moradian Jr. has since
lived an honest and upright life, exhibited
good moral character, and conducted himself as a law-abiding citizen, Brown wrote

Signs pointing to

Redwood Citys Bethlehem A.D. 2014 gave visitors a chance to experience village life as it might have been on the night
of the first Christmas this week. Visitors mingled with colorfully-costumed villagers, enjoyed period dances and watched
craftsmen at work. Highlights included a live Nativity scene and portrayals of apprentice metal smiths by Emon Goduci,
left, and Danielle Dinulos.

NEW YORK If youre

looking for signs that
the U. S. economy is
growing and that the job
market is improving, just
talk to small business
owners.
After cutting back on spending for years, people are
splurging again. Thats evident at Lady M Cake Boutiques.
Revenue is up 40 percent this year at the New York-based
company with more customers paying $60 to $85 three
or four times what a supermarket cake costs for confections made of paper-thin pastry dough and flavored with
ingredients like green tea and chestnuts. Business is so
good that owner Ken Romaniszyn, who has two locations
in Manhattan and one in Los Angeles, plans three or four
next year in New York, Boston and Charlotte, North
Carolina. Hell hire 60 new employees to staff the stores,
adding to Lady Ms current staff of 145.
His cakes, which once appealed mostly to the wealthy are
now attracting a wider range of customers, Romaniszyn
says.
The middle class, they can afford to make a special occasion a little more special, he says.

Shehadeh threatened

and posted pictures of Shehadeh taken during the robbery on social media before noon
Tuesday and quickly received a tip, Lethin
said.
Police wouldnt release the name of the

alcohol at the time.

With law enforcement taking to social

media more and more frequently, Lethin said

We got a reply to a press release and our
social media release we got a tip from the
community which drew our focus onto him
and we conducted surveillance and were able
to contact and arrest him without incident,
Lethin said. We were happy with how
quickly we received a response.

Sheriff:Thief of Rudolph
statue caught red-handed
GARDENA When officers found a
stolen Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
statue, they certainly said its shiny
nose was glowing.
The 200-pound statue had been pilfered nearly two weeks ago from its
perch atop a sign marking an upscale
Southern California neighborhood,
where a reindeer figure has been a seasonal fixture for half a century.
It was remounted and lit up as if it
was their own Christmas decoration,
Los Angeles County sheriffs Sgt.
Mark Moffett said after the statue was
recovered Monday atop a trailer home
in the city of Gardena. The homeowner
was arrested.
It wasnt Rudolphs shiny nose but a
tip that led authorities 9 miles from the
Ranchview neighborhood in the city of
Rolling Hills Estates to Gardena.
Meanwhile, with no Rudolph to
guide Santas sleigh on Christmas Eve,
residents had quickly mounted a
replacement. They say this one will be
better secured.

looking for a missing pigeon, and any
finder could be in line for a 10,000-euro

Duesseldorf police said Tuesday that
the 6-year-old male homing pigeon,

point on Saturday night from a locked
aviary in the citys suburbs.
They say the light gray bird is valued
by its owner at 150,000 euros

was the most valuable in an aviary full
of other homing pigeons.
The owner offered a 10,000-euro

Strykul shot the video while also

where a highway patrolman was waiting to make the arrest.
The suspect, Deirdre Orozco, 50, of

two counts of false imprisonment,
unlawful use of a badge, reckless driving and resisting arrest. She made her

DA wont retry man accused of molesting boys

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT

Prosecutors said they will not retry a former San Mateo gas station worker whose
molestation case ended in a mistrial when
jurors split over the allegations he molested
the owners 7-year-old son and his friend.
After speaking with multiple jurors and

District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe said.

lys wishes, he said.
The 26-year-old Mak, who had been in
custody on $250,000 bail, was released.
Had Mak been convicted of molesting
both boys, he faced life in prison because of
the multiple victim allegation. Instead,
jurors deliberated two days before deadlocking 9-3 in favor of guilt on charges related

to one victim and 7-5 in favor of acquittal

for charges stemming from the second.
Mak worked at a San Mateo station in
2009 and the two 7-year-old boys would
play there, according to prosecutors who
said the man showed them inappropriate
photos on his cellphone, exposed himself
and also placed their hands on his genitals.
Mak was fired from the gas station for an
unrelated theft and the owners son at age 10
told his mother about the alleged incidents
and the man was arrested in June 2013,
according to prosecutors.

San Mateo County sheriffs deputies

arrested one man and two juveniles on suspicion of a robbery and attempted burglary
in San Carlos on Tuesday afternoon.
Juan Cruz Diaz, 18, of Redwood City and
two 17-year-old suspects were taken into
custody in connection with two separate
incidents, both in San Carlos, according to
the sheriffs office.
At about 12:20 p.m., a resident in the
400 block of Shelford Avenue reported confronting three suspects inside his home.
The victim recalled being hit on the head
with some type of object but did not report
any serious injuries. He said the three suspects then ran out of his house, sheriffs
officials said.
Deputies arrived at the scene within minutes, but were not able to locate the suspects.
About a half-hour later, a resident on Oak
Creek Lane reported a suspicious vehicle in
her driveway and an unknown person com-

ing out of her backyard.

The resident was able to block in the suspects car with her own car and dial 911.
When deputies arrived, they were able to
detain all three suspects, who matched the
description of the trio involved in the earlier robbery on Shelford Avenue.
Investigators obtained evidence linking
the three suspects to both cases, although
it was determined that the second incident
was an attempted entry that was not completed.
Diaz was booked into the Maguire

An alert neighbor assisted in the apprehension of two juveniles suspected of theft

Tuesday morning in Redwood City, according to police.
At approximately 9 a.m., police responded to a caller reporting a possible burglary
in progress in the 100 block of E Street. The
man said he had seen two unknown individuals enter a neighbors backyard, police said.
Officers arrived within two minutes of the
call and established a perimeter around the
home. As the suspects exited, police said the
pair tried to flee on foot but were captured
after a brief pursuit.
Police say the suspects, both 14 years old,
had stolen property from the residence in
their possession.
The two juveniles were booked into the
San Mateo County Juvenile Detention
Center on suspicion of burglary.

Christmas Eve warm, windy, not white for many

By Scott Mayerowitz
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK Christmas Eve shaped up

to be windy, wet and warm instead of white
across much of the country, creating
headaches for travelers in the Great Lakes,
the Northeast and a storm-battered swath of
the South.
While parts of the South cleaned up from
severe storms that killed at least four people, a system that forecasters had feared
could bring several inches of snow to the
Midwest, including the air travel hub of
Chicago, mostly petered out or turned out to
be rain.
Still, by Wednesday afternoon, more than
300 flights had been canceled in the U.S.,
according to flight tracking service
FlightAware.
Chicagos
OHare
International Airport was hardest hit,
accounting for about 100 of the cancellations.
Parts of Wisconsin, Iowa and Minnesota
reported snow accumulations from just a
dusting to up to four inches.
Holiday travelers in Ohio, Michigan and
New York faced the prospect of windy
weather. A high wind warning was issued
from Wednesday evening to Thursday morning for much of northern Ohio.
Meteorologists warned that gusts of 65
mph in western New York could blow away
holiday decorations. Heavy rain was predicted to accompany the wind across New
England, where much of the region was put
under a flood watch through Thursday
night.
In Michigan, utility companies braced for
extremely strong winds a year after a storm

put thousands of people in the dark at
Christmas. The weather service said the
strongest winds are expected at night and
would last nearly until dawn on Christmas
Day.
Crews were on standby Wednesday in
anticipation of gusts of 45 mph or higher in
the Detroit area, said DTE Energy spokeswoman Randi Berris.

Storm expected to bring

Christmas snow to Sierra
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO A fast-moving cold

front was expected to bring snow and
strong winds to Californias mountains
and deserts on Christmas Eve and
Christmas Day, a potential gift for the
drought-wracked state that could interfere
with holiday travel plans, the National
Weather Service said.
The storm bearing down on the state
Wednesday was forecast to deliver snow at
elevations above 4,000 feet in the Sierra
Nevada and the mountains in Southern
California. Sierra passes could get between
three and six inches of snow, with up to 10
inches possible on the highest ridges by
morning, said Brooke Bingaman, a meteorologist with the weather service in
Sacramento.
Forecasters warned that drivers might
experience travel delays Wednesday afternoon and evening on Interstate 80, the
main east-west corridor in Northern
California, and on the Grapevine, the
high-altitude section of Interstate 5
between Los Angeles and the southern San
Joaquin Valley, where a winter weather
advisory was to go into effect at 3 a.m.
Thursday.
Chain controls will be in effect as needed through the evening on I-80, said Dave
Wood, an area superintendent for CalTrans
who is based in Kingvale. The controls
should be lifted by Christmas morning if
the storm blows out of the area late
Wednesday night as expected.
In Southern California, where revelers
from Los Angeles to San Diego enjoyed a
second day of unseasonably warm weather
in the 70s, forecasters said cold air
spilling in behind the storm front was
expected to produce an abrupt temperature
change and high winds that could continue
to make travel difficult on Thursday.
Los Angeles International Airport may

get significant, rare cross-winds, and

gusts up to 65 mph were possible through
mountain passes of Santa Barbara, Ventura
and Los Angeles counties, the weather
service said. Boaters were advised to prepare for gale-force winds off-shore.
The weather caused brief flight delays on
Wednesday at San Francisco International
Airport, where air traffic controllers
slowed the arrival of incoming flights
because of fog and low clouds. Few travelers were inconvenienced because the
majority left for their holiday destinations
on Tuesday, airport duty manager Larry
Mares said.
Clear weather was expected to return on
Friday and stay for the weekend, providing
ideal holiday conditions for Sierra ski
resorts that have weathered three years of
relatively dry winters.
With these early storms, they really get
people into the ski mode, said Thea Hardy,
a spokeswoman for Sierra-at-Tahoe near
Echo Summit, about 15 miles from South
Lake Tahoe. They start seeing early storms,
and it gets people in the winter spirit.
The resort already has about 3 feet of
snow at its 8,800-foot summit and has
plans for Santa Claus to ski and snowboard
all day on Christmas.
Rainfall totals from the storm were
expected to be modest. The National
Weather Service predicts about a tenth of
an inch of rain falling in the San Francisco
Bay Area and Sacramento Valley with up to
a quarter inch farther north in the Redding
and Red Bluff area.
State water managers are scheduled to
conduct their first winter survey of the
Sierra snowpack on Tuesday. Melting
snow from the snowpack usually supplies
about a third of the states water, and officials say it will take a series of storms producing above-average snow and rain to
make up for three consecutive years of
extreme drought.

Mississippi after severe weather killed at
least four people, injured about 50, and damaged or destroyed an unknown number of
homes and businesses.
In south Georgia, more than 50 counties
were under a tornado watch as thunderstorms
continued in many parts of the state.
Along the East Coast, a light but steady
rain fell amid unseasonable warmth.

In northern New Jersey, forecasters

warned thunderstorms could boom as temperatures head toward 60. A coastal flood
advisory was in effect, and fog was predicted in the northern part of the state.
Sarah Stothers, of Washington, D.C.,
said as she stopped at a travel plaza on the
New Jersey Turnpike that rain and fog made
the trip tough, but it wasnt as bad as she
had expected based on the weather forecast.
I thought it would be a lot worse, she
said. I thought there would be a lot more
people on the road.
Still, some parts of the country were welcoming bona fide snow in time for
Christmas.
Five to 10 inches was forecast in mountain passes in Nevadas Sierras and up to 10
inches was predicted for parts of Wyoming.
And mountainous areas of Washington
expected 3 to 5 inches to fall Wednesday.
In eastern Colorado, Interstate 70 was
shut down into Kansas for eight hours
because of strong winds and blowing snow.
Parts of western South Dakota saw snow
accumulations of a foot or more through
Tuesday morning. Higher elevations in the
Black Hills got close to 2 feet.
But not all winter enthusiasts were so
lucky.
Snow isnt expected in other parts of
South Dakota until Friday. Sioux Falls resident Alana Amdahl said shes disappointed
about the lack of snow projected for
Christmas.
We live in South Dakota for a reason,
said Amdahl, 27. We dont have palm trees
to put Christmas lights on, we have evergreens. Of course, we need snow. It can melt
after the new year.

Officer kills armed
18-year-old in suburb near Ferguson
BERKELEY, Mo. The mayor of the St. Louis suburb of
Berkeley urged calm Wednesday after a white police officer
killed a black 18-year-old who police said pointed a gun at
him, reigniting tensions that have lingered since the death of
Michael Brown in neighboring Ferguson.
A crowd of about 300 people gathered at the gas station
where Antonio Martin was shot late Tuesday, throwing rocks
and bricks in a scene reminiscent of the sometimes-violent
protests that followed Browns death.
But unlike the shooting of Brown, which was not captured
on video, Berkeley Mayor Theodore Hoskins said surveillance footage appeared to show Martin pulling a gun on the
unidentified 34-year-old officer who questioned him and
another man about a theft at a convenience store. Brown was
unarmed.
You couldnt even compare this with Ferguson or the
Garner case in New York, Hoskins said, referring to the
chokehold death of Eric Garner, another black man killed by
a white police officer.
Hoskins, who is black, also noted that unlike in Ferguson
where a mostly white police force serves a mostly black
community more than half of the officers in his city of
9,000 are black, including top command staff.

Again? Really? What if

By Nancy Benac
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Again? Really?

There are more than 300 million
people in America, yet the same two
families keep popping up when it
comes to picking a president.
The possibility of a Bush-Clinton
matchup in 2016 is increasingly plausible.
After months of hints and speculation, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush last
week said hes actively exploring a bid
for the Republican nomination.
And while Hillary Rodham Clinton
hasnt revealed her intentions, shes
seen as the odds-on favorite for the
Democratic nomination.
Between them, the two potential
rivals have three presidents and a U.S.

But Bushs brother, George W. Bush,
was hugely unpopular at the end of his
presidency
six
years ago. And
while people seem
to think more of
him now, the recent
Jeb Bush
release of a Senate
report on Bush-era torture practices
was a ready reminder of past controversies.
Clinton, 67, a former secretary of
state, senator and first lady, will face
the same competing dynamics of
familiarity vs. fatigue if she enters the
race.
Former President Bill Clinton is
enormously popular now, and would be
sure to campaign for his wife as he did
in the 2008 race, but there is still plenty of lingering unwanted baggage from
his White House years.
After Bush edged closer to a run last
week, the liberal RootsAction group
quickly set up a NoBushesorClintons
website and began collecting signatures on a declaration of independence that pledges to reject future
domination of government by the
Bushes and Clintons and by
Bush/Clinton-like policies.
But Princeton historian Julian
Zelizer thinks the comfort element
might be more important to 2016 voters than any same-old, same-old worries.
Washingtons broken, and voters
and campaign donors are looking for
people who seem to know what theyre
doing, he said. The familiarity of
these names becomes a big benefit and
counteracts any sense that, Oh my
God, I cant believe these are going to
be the candidates again.
Despite some groaning about a possible Bush-Clinton sequel, theres
plenty of reason to think voters will
simply take a breath and size up the

hype or gimmicks.

Dynastic politics, in which multiple family members hold elected office, are more common than people might think in the
U.S.
The U.S. has had 44 presidents, and
eight of them came from four families.
(Two each of Adams, Harrison,
Roosevelt and Bush.)
Nyhan points to a 2010 study published in Legislative Studies Quarterly
that found that over the previous two
centuries, nearly 9 percent of members
of Congress were closely related to
someone who had served in a previous
Congress. It concluded that such
politicians enjoy brand name advantages, giving them a significant edge
over comparable nondynastic opponents.
That kind of talk makes Jeff Cohens
skin crawl.
Cohen, a co-founder of the
RootsAction group, said even his nonpolitical friends frequently complain
about the dominance of the Bushes and
Clintons.
Its a source of frustration and its
broad, he says, calling the Bushes
and Clintons symbols of a corrupt
system and a permanent governing
class.
Even Bushs mother has suggested a
third President Bush could be one too
many.
If we cant find more than two or
three families to run for high office,
thats silly, she said earlier this year.

Sony broadly releases The Interview in reversal of plans

By Lindsey Bahr
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES Amid a swell of controversy, backlash, confusion and threats,

Sony Pictures broadly released The
Interview online Wednesday an
unprecedented counterstroke against the
hackers who spoiled the Christmas opening of the comedy depicting the assassination of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
It has always been Sonys intention to
have a national platform on which to
release this film, Sony Pictures chair and
CEO Michael Lynton said in a statement.
We chose the path of digital distribution
first so as to reach as many people as possible on opening day, and we continue to
seek other partners and platforms to further
expand the release.
The Interview became available on a
variety of digital platforms Wednesday
afternoon, including Google Play, YouTube
Movies, Microsofts Xbox Video and a separate Sony website, a day after Sony and
independent theaters agreed to release it in
over 300 venues on Christmas. The wide
digital release is the culmination of a set of
deals that have been in the works since the
major theater chains last week dropped the
movie that was to have opened on up to
3,000 screens.
Seth Rogen, who stars in the film he co-

directed with Evan Goldberg, cheered the

decision.
I need to say that a comedy is best
viewed in a theater full of people, so if you
can, Id watch it like that. Or call some
friends over, he tweeted.
A Sony executive close to the matter said
that there is concern over whether the company will recoup the $40 million cost of
the film and the millions more spent on
marketing, but that affordability and wide
access were their main priorities. The executive also said more providers could sign
on in the coming days and weeks and the
option is still there for more theaters to
show the film down the line. The executive
said it remained an option for the major
theater chains to show the film, and that
Sony was working to repair the symbiotic
relationship that has eroded in recent days.
Decisions by Google and Microsoft to
show the movie could open their sites to
hacking. Microsoft reported technical
problems with its Xbox sign-in system
Wednesday afternoon, though it wasnt
known whether it was the result of hacking.
Microsoft didnt immediately respond to an
inquiry about the nature of the problem.
Sonys initial decision not to release the
film was widely criticized, with President
Barack Obama one of the harshest critics.
White House spokesman Eric Schultz said
Obama welcomed the news.

Who hacked Sony becomes Internets new mystery

By Tami Abdollah
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES Everyone has a theory

about who really hacked Sony Pictures
Entertainment Inc.
Despite President Barack Obamas conclusion that North Korea was the culprit, the
Internets newest game of whodunit continues. Top theories include disgruntled Sony
insiders, hired hackers, other foreign governments or Internet hooligans. Even some
experts are undecided, with questions about
why the communist state would steal and
leak gigabytes of data, email threats to
some Sony employees and their families
and then threaten moviegoers who planned
to watch The Interview on Christmas.
Somebodys done it. And right now this
knowledge is known to God and whoever did
it, said Martin Libicki, a cyber security
expert at RAND in Arlington, Virginia, who
thinks it probably was North Korea. So we
gather up a lot of evidence, and the evidence
that the FBI has shown so far doesnt allow

one to distinguish between somebody who

is North Korea and somebody who wants to
look like North Korea.
Perhaps the only point of agreement
among those guessing is that even the most
dramatic cybercrimes can be really, really
hard to solve convincingly. When corporations are breached, investigators seldom
focus on attributing the crime because their
priority is assessing damage and preventing
it from happening again.
Attribution is a very hard game to play,
said Mike Fey, president of security company Blue Coat Systems Inc. and former chief
technology officer at McAfee Inc. Like any
criminal activity, how they get away with it
is a very early step in the planning process,
and framing another organization or individual is a great way to get away with something.
Fey added: If theyre smart enough and
capable enough to commit a high profile
attack, theyre very often smart enough and
capable enough to masquerade as someone
else. It can be very difficult to find that true
smoking gun.

Pope Francis gives

Christmas Eve Mass;
calls Iraqi refugees
By Nicole Winfield
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

VATICAN CITY Pope Francis

celebrated Christmas Eve with a
late-night Mass Wednesday in St.
Peters Basilica and a phone call
to some Iraqi refugees forced to
flee their homes by Muslim militants.
Francis told refugees at the tent
camp in Ankawa, a suburb of Irbil
in northern Iraq, that they were
like Jesus, forced to flee because
there was no place for them. For
Christians, Christmas marks the
birth of Jesus in a Bethlehem barn
manger, chosen because there was
no room for his parents at an inn.
Youre like Jesus on this night,
and I bless you and am close to
you, Francis told the Iraqis,
according to the audio of the call
provided by TV2000, the television of the Italian bishops conference which arranged the
hookup. I embrace you all and
wish for you a holy Christmas.

The Ankawa camp houses mostly Christian refugees forced to flee

the onslaught by militants of the
Islamic State. In a letter to
Mideast Christians penned earlier
this week, Francis urged them to
remain in the region, where
Christian communities have
existed for 2,000 years, and to
help their fellow Muslim citizens
present a more authentic image of
Islam as a religion of peace.
During the Mass hours later in
St. Peters, Francis echoed some
of the themes he raised in the
phone call as he reflected on the
Nativity scene.
How much the world needs tenderness today! he said. Gods
patience, Gods closeness, Gods
tenderness.
The phone call and nighttime

day speech, New Years Eve vespers, and 2015 greetings a few

Faithful flock to Bethlehem for Christmas

By Daniel Estrin
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BETHLEHEM, West Bank Several

thousand Christian pilgrims on Wednesday
flocked to the biblical town of Bethlehem
for Christmas Eve celebrations at the traditional birthplace of Jesus, lifting spirits
after a year of conflict and failed peace
efforts.
The central Manger Square was decked out
in white and yellow lights and a towering
Christmas tree. On a cool, clear night,
there was a carnival atmosphere: Vendors
hawked corn, candied apples, watches, and
balloons in the shape of cartoon characters.
Scout troops played bagpipes, horns and
drums, and bands from around the world performed on a stage, singing Christmas carols and original Christmas rock ballads,
mostly in English. A recording of Feliz
Navidad blasted through the speakers, too.
A Palestinian host welcomed members of
Gazas tiny Christian community, who were
permitted to cross through Israel to the
West Bank, eliciting whistles and applause.
My son and I and my husband came for
Christmas to see, you know, be right here
where it all took place, said Irene Adkins,
63, from Lorain, Ohio, as she sat in a
Bethlehem visitors center. It feels wonderful.
The celebrations brought a boost of holiday cheer to the area after a difficult year.
Israeli-Palestinian peace talks collapsed
last spring, and Israel battled Palestinian
militants in the Gaza Strip during a 50-day
war over the summer. Elsewhere in the
region, the Middle Easts dwindling
Christian community has suffered persecution at the hands of Islamic State extremists.

In his homily at Midnight Mass, Twal
called for Jews, Muslims and Christians in
the Holy Land to live together as equals
with mutual respect, according to a translation released by his office. But in fact, this
Holy Land has become a land of conflict.
He lamented the Gaza war and recent
unrest in Jerusalem, which included a deadly
Palestinian attack on a synagogue. The
whirlwind of death continues to strike and
to crush! he said.
Twal appealed for reconstruction of wartorn Gaza, which has been delayed, to proceed. He also urged Israel to halt plans to

A Death Occurs And You Have

Responsiblity Who Can Help?
By Paul Larson
MILLBRAE

Have you ever been

in the situation
where you need to
select a Funeral
Home? Contrary to
the popular myth
not all Funeral
Homes or Cremation organizations are the
same. Reputation, staff, facilities, level of
service, or the lack of service, are all very
important items to consider when selecting a
Funeral Establishment to care for you and
your loved-ones. Imagining that youll
never need to cross this bridge can be naive.
Giving this idea some thought right now and
doing a bit of easy research on selecting a
Funeral Home could help you someday
when you may need it the most.
The death of a loved-one requires
professional assistance. Where do you turn?
Many of you are familiar with a local
Funeral Home that youve been comfortable
going to for years. Then there are those of
you whove done your homework by talking
with various Funeral Directors in-turn
making an educated selection in a relaxed
and unhurried manner. Some of you have
needed to select a Funeral Home when time
was sensitive. Starting a blind search from
square one could become daunting. To help
yourself be better prepared it may be
prudent to ask yourself this question: How
do you quickly select a funeral organization
with staff that will care for your loved-one
in a kindhearted respectable manner, will
work with you or the next-of-kin with
professional concern, yet guide you
sympathetically
and
with
sincere
understanding? This may seem like asking
for the moon, but there are Funeral Care

Professionals out there who really do want

to help, such as those members of our crew
at CHAPEL OF THE HIGHLANDS. Based
on all the complements we receive, along
with letters of thanks from the families we
serve, I know we are doing the right thing in
the right way at a fair cost.
Now, in no way is my intention to lessen
the work of my local colleagues here on the
Peninsula. I know many capable individuals
in this field who are well intentioned and
experienced, along with Concierge Funeral
Directors who have earned high esteem
among their peers while serving families
with excellence for decades. But, in other
instances I have attended funerals elsewhere,
out of town, and have had very
disappointing experiences at some large
corporate run funeral enterprises.
The point I am trying to make is to be
aware of the Funeral Establishments you
visit and notice how their staff conducts
themselves. Are they sincere and caring in
their actions and deeds or are they just going
through the motions by providing bare
minimum requirements? Are their facilities
and equipment kept in an orderly and
attractive fashion or does the place seem
worn and threadbare? Is their reputation in
the community one of high quality or is it
one of mediocrity and inferiority? Are they
owned by a local family, a corporation or an
out of state entity? Keeping these standards
in mind can help you find a Funeral Home
to turn to that may be of immense comfort.
If you ever wish to discuss cremation,
funeral matters or want to make preplanning arrangements please feel free to
call me and my staff at the CHAPEL OF
THE HIGHLANDS in Millbrae at (650)
588-5116 and we will be happy to guide you
in a fair and helpful manner. For more info

Major U. S. stock indexes ended

mostly higher on Wednesday, with the
Dow Jones industrial average adding
modestly to its gains a day after closing above 18,000 for the first time.
It was the Dows sixth straight gain,
coming during a half-day trading session ahead of the Christmas holiday.
Investors
welcomed
Labor
Department data showing that applications for unemployment benefits fell
last week to the lowest level in seven
weeks. The news came a day after the
Commerce Department estimated that
the economy grew in the JulySeptember quarter at the fastest pace in
11 years.
The unemployment data show steady
improvement in the labor market,
which is positive news for the economy.
Were still giddy after yesterdays
GDP (report), said Chris Gaffney, a
senior market strategist at EverBank
Wealth Management. Thats whats
mainly driving this market.
The Dow gained 6. 04 points
Wednesday to close at 18, 030. 21.
Thats up 0.03 percent from a day earlier.
The Standard & Poors 500 index
slipped 0.29 points, or 0.01 percent,
to 2,081.88. Thats slightly below the

S&Ps most-recent all-time high

recorded on Tuesday.
The Nasdaq composite added 8.05
points, or 0.2 percent, to 4,773.47.
U.S. government bond prices rose.
The yield on the 10-year Treasury note
dipped to 2.26 percent.
The Dow and S&P 500 have recovered the last of the ground they lost in
an early-December slump.
The stock market got off to a positive start early Wednesday following
the labor market report and held onto
to its gains throughout much of the
abbreviated trading session. Shortly
before the stock market closed at 1:00
p.m. Eastern Time, the S&P 500 turned
lower.
The stock market has been mostly
trending higher the last two weeks
after hitting a recent low of 17,069 on
Dec. 16 as traders worried about plunging oil prices and a sharp drop in
Russias currency.
Investors have been encouraged by
corporate earnings growth and signs
of a strengthening U.S. economy.
Consumer spending and personal
income have been rising. The economy also has been creating more jobs.
In the first 11 months of this year,
employers have added 2.65 million
jobs. That already makes 2014 the
best year for hiring since 1999.
In addition, remarks last week by the
Federal Reserve reassured investors

that the central bank wont raise interest rates soon.

With just one week left until 2015,
the S&P 500 is up 12.6 percent this
year, not including dividends, while
the Dow is up 8.8 percent. The Nasdaq
is up 14.3 percent.
Well look for more volatility next
year, but we still expect a buy-on-thedips, grind-higher equity market, said
Terry Sandven, chief equity strategist
at U.S. Bank Wealth Management.
Utilities stocks were among the
biggest gainers Wednesday. The sector
is up 26.4 percent this year. Investors
often turn to utilities as a safe haven
during periods of market volatility.
Possibly, people just want to get a
bit more defensive in respect to their
gains going into the end of the year,
Gaffney said.
Seven of the 10 sectors in the S&P
500 fell, with energy stocks declining
the most. The sector has fallen 8.9 percent this year as the slide in oil prices
has deepened.
The price of benchmark U.S. crude
oil fell $1.28 to close at $55.84 a barrel in New York. Brent crude, a benchmark for international oils used by
many U.S. refineries, fell $1.45 to
close at $60.24 a barrel in London.
Oil prices have been a major focus in
markets over the past few weeks as
they have fallen by about a half since
the summer.

On Kickstarter, everyone wants to be Staff Pick

By Joseph Pisani
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK Want your project to get

selected as a Staff Pick on crowdfunding
site Kickstarter?
Good luck with that.
Entrepreneurs and other users have been
seeking the secret to getting their projects
selected as a Staff Pick a designation
that one of Kickstarters 98 employees can
give a project based on his or her personal
tastes.

Charming a staffer has perks. Staff Picks

can get prime placement on the website, be
promoted to Kickstarters 2 million followers on Facebook and Twitter, or appear in
Kickstarters Projects We Love email,
which reaches more than 4 million inboxes
every week. That promotion can increase
donations. Users get in on the promotional activity by updating their pages to add a
bright green badge or banner they create
themselves, even though Kickstarter discourages the practice.
Kickstarters employees can also donate
their own cash to a project. And earlier this

year, Kickstarter started using company

money to give cash to projects it favors.
That has users scrambling to figure how
to get picked.
Shelley Harper scoured Google, read blog
posts and studied past Staff Picks before
launching a Kickstarter campaign for her
business, ConQuest Adventure Journal,
which makes journals for fans of comic
book convention Comic-Con, to store
autographs, photos and other mementos.
Her research turned up no answers.
An email sent to Kickstarter went unanswered. Then, weeks after her campaign

launched, it was selected as a Staff Pick. She

still has no idea why.
Its like this magical thing and nobody
knows how it happens, says Harper, who
raised nearly $12,000 in July to help pay
for the printing of more ConQuest journals.
Kickstarter spokesman Justin Kazmark
did not make other employees available to
be interviewed, but says workers spend a
big part of their day keeping up with projects that are posted on the site and pick
ones that have a good video, give colorful
updates about the project or have an imaginative idea.

Koshy deals SHP to The
we want to
8th straightCCS title remember
By Nathan Mollat

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

If there was ever a year the dominance of the Sacred Heart Prep
girls water polo team was going
to end seven straight Central
Coast Section Division II championships this would be the year.
The Gators graduated 10 seniors
from last years squad, half of
whom are now playing
collegiately. They also
lost five of six
starters.
The lone returning starter, however, was quite a piece
to return. Malaika
Koshy proved as a
sophomore in 2013
she could be a lockdown defender.
This year, however, she
was asked to transition to offense
and she did so with flying colors.
She scored 88 goals, 22 coming in
the playoffs. She scored in all 28
games played this season and had
multi-goal games 23 times.
She was named the CCS
Division II Most Valuable Player
and now Koshy caps her junior
year by earning the San Mateo
Daily Journals Girls Water Polo

Player of the Year honors.

I was a little nervous (this season) about how our team dynamics
would go and how we would play at
the beginning of the year, because
we had lost some seniors we were
really dependent on, Koshy said.
We achieved the goal we wanted,
which was to get that eighth
(straight) title at CCS.
SHP coach Jon Burke knew what
kind of talent he has in
Koshy and it was that
talent that has allowed
him to play her at
different positions
in the pool.
She had always
been an offensiveminded player. She
had a great offensive
year her freshman
year. But she was primarily used, last year, as a
defender and she did a great job.
Thats kind of what we needed from
her, Burke said.
But even Burke was a bit surprised by her offense this season.
It was a total breakout year for
her. I think even some area coaches thought she hadnt quite hit her
stride, Burke said. I think she hit

Perla-Ward jack of
all trades for SHP
By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

How good is the Sacred Heart

Prep boys water polo team? The
Gators have the Central Coast
Section Player of the Year as well
as a member of the all-Nor Cal
squad and theyre not even the
same person.
Michael Swart was a unanimous
CCS Player of the Year choice, but
when it came to compile the allNor Cal team, the coaches
chose Nelson PerlaWard as CCSs top
player.
The 16 coaches
who were at our
(CCS) meeting
chose Swart as
the top player in
all the section. But
I was the representative at the all-Northern
California team selection
and those coaches over-ruled the
vote and chose Nelson Perla-Ward
as our areas top player, Menlo
School coach Jack Bowen said in
an email. I personally voted for
Swart, but the Miramonte coach
(James Lathrop), whos one of the
top coaches in the country, said it
was clear to him that Nelson was
the stronger player.
It is that kind of endorsement
that led to Perla-Ward being chosen the as San Mateo Daily
Journals Boys Water Polo Player
of the Year.

Ive never seen that before,

where its been split, SHP coach
Brian Kreutzkamp said. I see it as
a compliment to our program.
Despite the personal postseason accolades, Perla-Ward knows
without his teammates there would
be no team success. And rest
assured, Perla-Ward is all about
team.
Most of my goals are team oriented. I know personal accolades
come with team success, PerlaWard said. Whats important
is to be known as a team
player. In the end, my
goal was to win CCS.
In the end, its all
about how the team
performs.
Perla-Ward
was
coach
Brian
Kreutzkamps Swiss
Army knife, a player
who can play multiple
roles, all at a high level. And
Perla-Ward had to wear a number of
hats every game and sometimes
every possession.
He can pretty much do anything. He can play any position in
the water [at the high school
level]. He was in the water figuring out what we needed,
Kreutzkamp said. I knew defensively, he was good all along. He
was always a good shut-down
defender. My only question was,
could he handle being the guy on
offense and keeping all his teammates involved? He handled it
great. If we needed goals, he would

down Boylston Street, past the
patched-up sidewalks and reopened restaurants that line the
path to the Boston Marathon finish line. On his race bib he had the
names of those killed there by a
pair of homemade bombs, and on
his shoulders he would soon drape
an American flag.
An Eritrean by birth, Keflezighi
came to the United States to escape
war and poverty in his African
homeland. He did more than that: A
year after the terrorist attacks shattered a scene of so much joy,
Keflezighi became the first
American man to win the worlds
most prestigious marathon in
more than three decades.
Keflezighi crossing the finish
line, to the chants of U-S-A! and
a few moist eyes, was one of the
feel-good sports moments of
2014. In a year that included
reports of corruption and the arrest
of athletes, there were plenty of

49ers Crabtree doesnt know what future holds

By Janie McCauley
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SANTA CLARA Prospective free agent

wide receiver Michael Crabtree hardly
sounds convinced his future is with the San
Francisco 49ers.
The teams 10th overall pick in the 2009
draft out of Texas Tech, Crabtree is embracing the uncertainty as this largely forgettable season comes to a close Sunday at
home against Arizona.
I feel like the skys the limit for me,
Crabtree said in a rare interview Wednesday
at his locker. I cant wait to see whats next,
the next chapter in my career.
The 27-year-old Crabtree is among several
players on the offensive side to have down
seasons for San Francisco (7-8), which will
miss the playoffs and goes into the finale on
a four-game losing streak the first under
fourth-year coach Jim Harbaugh, whose own
future could be elsewhere.
When asked Wednesday if he wants to be
back with the organization next season,
Crabtree was vague.
It depends, I dont even want to talk about

it. Its like one of those

things thats got to happen. Im ready for whatever. Im not going to
talk about no contract,
Crabtree said.
I dont know how to
feel. Im ready for whatever. All Ive been doing
is talking about football
Michael
and plays and how to
Crabtree
win. I havent talked
about a contract, none of that.
Tight end Vernon Davis, meanwhile,
wants to stay put next season and well
beyond, determined to make another run at a
Super Bowl after this disappointing finish.
Running back Frank Gore would love that,
crossing his fingers the front office will
keep much of the roster intact heading
toward 2015 in order to chase another Super
Bowl. This group planned on winning a ring
this year.
Thats why you play team sports, to be a
champion, Gore said, and I want to be a
champion. Hopefully all the key guys can be
back. If all the key guys can be back, I think
weve got a shot.

Davis skipped the offseason sessions last

spring and summer as he sought a long-term
deal, but arrived on time for Day 1 of training
camp in July and said he would no longer focus
on his situation but commit to the team.
Now, he goes into the winter with one year
remaining on his contract hoping San
Francisco will reward him and keep much of
its roster together.
I think it would be fantastic. I love being
here, I love the organization, I love everything about it, Davis said Wednesday. I
like the owners. I just ask that everybody is
fair to each other and were all playing
together, staying together. Just being a family, being one.
General manager Trent Baalke said in late
July that Davis is certainly one of those
guys that deserves to be a 49er.
The organization has given lengthy contract extensions in recent years to many of
its core players on both sides of the ball.
Gore said Wednesday that Baalke spoke to
him Monday in the weight room and
expressed interest in re-signing the franchises all-time rushing leader by saying, I
want you to be a Niner next year.
Im going to go out there on Sunday and
play my behind off and try to get a win and
end on good side, Gore said. My agent and
the team will talk from there.
Davis has had a quiet season a year after
one of his best in the NFL. He has just 25
catches for 236 yards and two touchdowns

after matching his career best with 13 TD

receptions in 2013.
Everybodys numbers are down, Crabtree,
Frank, myself, Davis said. Were all down.
Weve just got to figure it out.
Another player theyd all like to see return
for a 15th season is defensive end Justin
Smith.
If I come back, you know Ive got to call
him, Gore said. Ill call him probably
every day in the offseason, because Justin
can still play the game at a high level.
NOTES: S Eric Reid is still in the evaluation stage of his protocol following a concussion Saturday against San Diego, the

Currys star continues to rise

By Antonio Gonzalez
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

OAKLAND Golden State Warriors point

guard Stephen Curry was driving in a car with
his wife, Ayesha, over the summer when they
put on a song by a popular rapper that everybody had been telling them to play.
Been Steph Curry with the shot, Drake
called out in the song 0 to 100.
The stunned couple looked at each other,
smiled and broke out in laughter.
It was pretty cool, Curry said.
Sure, fans voted him into the All-Star
Game as a starter, media selected him second-team All-NBA and a major car insurance
company created a fictional twin for a popular commercial series last season. But the
shoutout from a renowned recording artist
might have been the moment Curry realized
he had truly made it big.
As his stardom continues to rise, Curry is
still surprised by the celebrity treatment
even though nobody else is.
Coaches, players and executives have
taken notice of the growth in Currys game
by strategizing everything they do around
him. Marketers in the NBA league office and
sponsors across the country have, too, putting his boyish face on national television
and social media advertisements to promote
their brands.
And with the Warriors (23-4) atop the NBA
standings, Currys case for MVP is starting
to echo around the league as loud as the
chants do nightly at rowdy Oracle Arena.
Another chance to showcase his skills
comes Thursday night, when Curry and the
Warriors visit Chris Paul and the rival Los
Angeles Clippers on Christmas for what

might be the best game

on the biggest day of the
NBA regular season.
Theres big moments
throughout the course of
the season that you
enjoy, Curry said, and
you have fun showing
what you can do.
This is one of them.
Steph Curry
Paul, the lead man in
those commercials, has been considered
among the best point guards for years. Curry,
long labeled just a shooter, has added to his
repertoire and stayed healthy each of
the past three seasons to enter the debate
alongside Tony Parker, Russell Westbrook,
James Harden, Mike Conley and others.
While the qualifying criteria might be a
matter of preference, this much is indisputable: nobody is running the show the
way Curry is for the Warriors now.
In a game dominated by big men and
played by some of the worlds greatest athletes, the 6-foot-3, 190-pound Curry controls the flow without physically overpowering defenders. His shooting stroke can
seem unstoppable at times, and when he gets
going, nobody can seem to slow him down.
His range is unlimited. Like, literally,
when he crosses half court 30, 35 footers
are like layups, Oklahoma City coach Scott
Brooks said before Curry had 34 points,
nine assists and seven rebounds in a 114109 win over the Thunder last week.
Clevelands LeBron James and reigning
NBA MVP Kevin Durant are among those
who already have called Curry the best
shooter of their generation. In the next
breath, they also credit Curry for improving
his all-around game.

The process began when Curry returned for

his senior season at tiny Davidson College.
He has gone from a shooting guard who dazzled during the NCAA tournament to a polished professional point guard who can dribble and distribute with the best of them.
Even before Currys evolution, first-year
Warriors coach Steve Kerr saw the potential.
As general manager of the Phoenix Suns,
Kerr tried to orchestrate a draft-night trade in
2009 to acquire Curry from Golden State.
We were watching Steve Nash every night
in Phoenix as a 6-1 point guard who could
shoot and pass, and Steph looked like
another version of Steve, Kerr said.
Theyre different. Stephs more offensiveminded. Steve was more of a playmaker first.
But the skillset is very similar, just the
incredible hand-eye coordination and the
ability to beat you with the pass, the dribble
and the shot is a pretty rare combination.
Nearly three years since the Warriors sent
combo guard Monta Ellis to Milwaukee for
center Andrew Bogut, Curry has blossomed
with Klay Thompson to form arguably the
NBAs best backcourt.
Curry is averaging 23.4 points, 7.7
assists, 5.0 rebounds and two steals this season. Hes also becoming a pest for Golden
States smothering defense after being challenged by Kerr to guard his position a
major shift from the past few years under former coach Mark Jackson, who usually used
Thompson to defend elite point guards.
Hes awesome to play alongside with, he
knows when to pass and take the big shots,
said Thompson, who teamed with Curry to
help the U.S. win gold at the FIBA World
Cup in Spain this summer. He should definitely be mentioned in the MVP talks with
the way he has been playing.

Carr returns
to practice
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ALAMEDA Of all the lessons Derek Carr

has learned in his first NFL season, having a
strong relationship with the offensive line
has been maybe the most important.
The Raiders rookie quarterback has been
one of the most well-liked players in the
locker room since Oakland acquired him with
the 36th overall pick in this years draft.
He is as comfortable talking shop with the
teams wide receivers as he is joking with the
defensive linemen.
Yet its been Carrs rapport with the five
guys blocking for him up front that has stood
out the most and for obvious reasons.
You have to have a great relationship with
everybody because that whole team has to
believe in you, Carr said Tuesday.
But with that said, you want that group to
believe in you. Theyre the ones that are
going to fight for you, play hurt for you.
Theyre going to go that extra mile to make
sure youre OK.
Carr returned to practice one day after being
sent home by interim Oakland coach Tony
Sparano when Carr showed up feeling ill.
The second-round pick leads all rookie quarterbacks in yards passing and touchdowns.
Hes also closing in on the league record
for most completions by a rookie quarterback. Carr has 330 completions and needs
only 10 to move past Indianapolis Andrew
Luck and 25 to beat the mark established by
Sam Bradford of the St. Louis Rams in 2010.

TCUs Patterson AP
coach of the year

Fresno State falls in Hawaii Bowl

By Ralph D. Russo

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

TCU coach Gary Patterson embraced

changed and joined an exclusive club.
Patterson was voted college football coach
of the year by The Associated Press on
Wednesday, joining Nick Saban as the only
two-time winners.
Patterson, in his 14th season at TCU, was
coach of the year in 2009. Saban was coach
of the year in 2003 when he was with LSU
and in 2008 at Alabama.
Patterson received 27 of 54 votes from the
AP Top 25 media panel. Urban Meyer of Ohio
State was the runner-up with 14 votes.
Patterson guided the sixth-ranked Horned
Frogs to an 11-1 record and a share of the Big
12 title after going 4-8 in 2013.
After his worst season at TCU, Patterson
overhauled his offense. He brought in Doug
Meacham to be offensive coordinator and
Sonny Cumbie to assist and coach quarterbacks. They installed an up-tempo.
What resulted was one of the biggest turnarounds of the season. TCU went from being
ranked 105th in the nation in yards per play
and 106th in yards per game in 2013 to ranking ninth and fourth, respectively, in those
categories in 2014. Trevone Boykin, who
seemed destined to become a full-time receiver, instead developed into one of the best
dual-threat quarterbacks in the country.

By Doug Ferguson
HONOLULU Driphus Jackson had his
best game of the year by passing for 318
yards and three touchdowns, and Rice completed a remarkable turnaround with a 30-6
victory over Fresno State on Wednesday
night in the Hawaii Bowl.
The Owls (8-5) started the season at 0-3
and ended it with their second bowl win in
the last three years.
Jackson was accurate with his arm, especially on two deep sideline routes, and dangerous with his feet. He rushed for 41 yards
and some key scrambles out of trouble. The
Owls got plenty of help from their defense.
Fresno State (6-8), the only team with a
losing record to play a bowl game this year,
broke its Hawaii Bowl record for fewest
points. Fresno State scored 10 points two
years ago in a lopsided loss to SMU. It was
the fewest points Fresno State scored all year.
The Bulldogs lost to Rice for the first time
they had a 6-0 edge from their old WAC
days and dropped their sixth consecutive
bowl game.
This one wasnt close.
Rice piled up 463 yards and held Fresno
State to 93 yards passing, well below the
Bulldogs season average of 238 yards.
Brian Burrell was 10 of 20 for 44 yards and
didnt complete a pass longer than 8 yards.
The Owls had 96 yards on their opening

possession and had to

settle for a field goal
after two penalties on
one play holding on
Caleb Williams, and then
Mario Hull was called for
unsportsmanlike conduct
for jamming an open
palm in the face of cornerback
Charles
Driphus
Washington during some
Jackson
trash talk. That made it
first-and-goal from the 34, and the Owls got
all the way down to the 4 before they had to
settle for a field goal.
Even so, it set the tone for the Rice
offense and for the game.
Jackson was perfect on a fly route down
the left side to Dennis Parks for 53 yards
that led to his 14-yard scoring pass to
Jordan Taylor. And after Burrell threw a deep
interception, Jackson struck on the next
play. He slightly underthrew a deep pass
that Hull came back for, and then Hull turned
and ran the last 25 yards for a 69-yard touchdown and a 16-3 right before the opening
quarter ended.
The Bulldogs made enough defensive
adjustments to hold Rice to one first down
and 4 yards in the second quarter to at least
stay in range. Their offense, however,
offered little in return.
Fresno State was helped by a defensive
holding call on fourth-and-7 to reach the

scorer, as long as I succeeded in

everything I did, I think that led to
our success this season.
Having to fill so many roles is
not as easy as it sounds. When a
player is constantly having to
change his game plan, hes thinking too much instead of simply
reacting.
I definitely played roles I was
not used to this year, Perla-Ward
said. You kind of had to play it by
ear. It was kind of nerve wracking

going into games. I didnt know

what I was going to do.
But the elite players are those
who can constantly process new
information and still perform at a
high level.
Theyre very rare. Especially in
high school, you find kids who are
very good at one thing,
Kreutzkamp said. [Perla-Ward]
can play five or six roles. He
can change his role from possession to possession, literally.

what her potential was and it

exceeded peoples expectations.
We always knew there was a great
water polo player under there.
And dont think because of her
offensive tendencies Koshy could
slack off on defense. Burke said
Koshys biggest attribute is her
ability to adapt and change literally on the fly. Burke would still
use her as a defensive stopper as
the situation warranted, but was
also unafraid to have her transition to offense in an instant.
What is great about Malaika,
she remains so versatile. It wasnt

26, but it could only manage another field

goal by Koedy Kroenig from 40 yards. Late
in the first half and trailing 16-6, Fresno
State again went for it on fourth-and-1 from
the 18. Burrell threw a quick sideline pass to
Greg Watson, only for Bryce Callahan to
break through a block and drop him for a 3yard loss that kept Rice up by 10 at intermission.
Callahan later picked off Burrells deep
throw, and that was the end of Burrells
night. He was replaced by Zack Greenlee,
who was equally ineffective.
One drive effectively sealed the game for
the Owls. Jackson worked the sidelines
beautifully to complete four straight passes
and move them down the field on their second drive of the third quarter. On third-and2, he found Parks down the sideline. Parks
stiff-armed linebacker Donavon Lewis and
raced into the end zone for a 40-yard touchdown pass and a 23-6 lead.
It was Parks first touchdown reception of
the year, and he went over 100 yards receiving for the first time this season.
Rice padded the lead midway early in the
fourth quarter when Jackson hit Darik
Dillard on a screen in the left flat, and
Dillard sped down to the 1, narrowly missing his stretch to the pylon. Dillard ran it in
on the next play.
The Bulldogs got 76 yards on 15 carries
from Marteze Waller, but that included runs
of 41 and 16 yards.

like we went black and white.

Her fundamentals of defense
allowed us to always go back to
that when we needed a stop,
Burke said.
Offense minded, defensive
minded. All Koshy cares about was
winning. If that meant singlehanded out-scoring the opponent,
so be it. Need a big stop? Koshys
got it covered.
It doesnt matter to me. I love
playing both roles. Whatever is
going to win the game, you have
to do it, Koshy said. I did have
more of an offensive role this
year, but in the CCS final, I played
almost always defense.
Its a fine line great two-way
players walk, but like great players, Koshy manages to do it with
aplomb.

I think it was just a matter of

her having the freedom to not neglect her defense, but to go after it
offensively, Burke said. We had
to rely on her more as an individual player more than any other
player in a long time. Her having
a good year, that was critical to
our success.
So what does Koshy for an
encore? Well, she has a chance to
do something rare: finish her high
school career with four CCS titles.
But with expectations come pressure.
There is definitely more pressure (going into next year),
Koshy said. We have to keep that
consecutive titles going.

him to offer support. So did
Wolverines quarterback Devin
Gardner, setting aside one of college footballs biggest rivalries to
deliver some words of encouragement. Its like having a little

Baseball and hot dogs

A stray and injured dog who wandered into the Brewers complex at
spring training became an instant
celebrity with the team and the
fans back in Milwaukee. When no
one came forward to claim Hank
named for Hall of Famer Hank
Aaron, he broke camp with the
ballclub and a Brewers executive
took him in back in Milwaukee.
The team began selling merchandise with his likeness including
his own bobblehead, with some of
the proceeds going to the
Wisconsin Humane Society.

Ive had a lot of good examples

of perseverance over the years,

perseverance, sportsmanship and
dedication to hockey. So this
award is very meaningful, and Im
very grateful.

On the night a Canadian soldier
was killed while guarding the
national war memorial in Ottawa,
Pittsburgh fans sang an emotional
rendition of O Canada before the
Penguins
game
against
Philadelphia.

Good prognosis
The sports world also rallied
around Chad Carr, the 4-year-old
grandson of former Michigan
football coach Lloyd Carr, who
had the same kind of inoperable
tumor as Hill. The Carrs said this
month that the tumor, which had
been expected to kill him within a
year, had shrunk by 90 percent.

cut down the nets at the Big Ten

before she died of cancer.
I learned so much, just seeing
her fight every day, Payne said

THE DAILY JOURNAL

Feline fame in cyberspace gives species a boost

By Terrence Petty
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PORTLAND, Ore. Cats these days

arent associated with deities the way
they were in ancient Egypt, but the
Internet has gotten them a little closer.
We adore Nora the piano-playing cat.
We chuckle as a comical feline named
Maru leaps into cardboard boxes. We
revel in Grumpy Cats permanently sour
expression. And with millions watching videos of other kitties getting
tongue baths from horses and playing
peekaboo with their owners, cats have
become online stars.
For feline fans, its a sea change. In
the affections of Americans, cats often
get short shrift compared with dogs.
Some see cats as aloof, poor companions and indifferent to attention that
dogs enjoy.
But with cats celebrity expanding,
experts say cyberspace is aiding their
plight.
Social media has put pets front and
center, said Christie Keith, social
media consultant for Maddies Fund, a

ECONOMY
Continued from page 1
The U.S. economy is growing at a
solid pace. This week, government
figures showed that consumers and
businesses drove growth to a sizzling
5 percent annual rate last quarter.
Fewer Americans are applying for jobless benefits. In the first 11 months of
this year, employers have added 2.65
million jobs. That already makes
2014 the best year for hiring since
1999.
A good chunk of the good news can
be attributed to improvements at small
companies. Reports from payroll company ADP and software maker Intuit
show small business hiring has gained
momentum since the summer. The
trend looks to continue surveys by
Wells Fargo & Co. and the National
Federation of Independent Business

PARDONS
Continued from page 1
in his pardon.
The governors office said all those
granted pardons had completed their
sentences and had been released from
custody for more than a decade without
committing additional crimes. The
Democratic governor said he issues
pardons to those who earn them by
demonstrating exemplary behavior

California-based foundation that works

to save pets lives. Social media, she
said, is revolutionizing how we help
animals.
The Internet has created a vast audience of potential adopters. To save
pets lives, animal welfare organizations are reaching out to an audience
addicted to cat videos. Shelters use
social media to promote everything
from adoption campaigns to free vaccinations, spaying and neutering.
Although there are no comprehensive
nationwide statistics, recent studies of
targeted communities and available data
indicate increases in animal shelters
releasing cats to owners or agencies
such as rescues that guarantee adoption.
In one of the studies, conducted by
the American Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, shelters and rescue organizations in six
areas from Florida to Washington state
supplied data from 2007 to 2011.
Overall, the rates for dogs and cats
released to people or agencies rose from
41 percent to 65 percent. Cats showed a
whopping 111 percent boost.

Its difficult to pinpoint how much of

this good news stems from the Internet,
but many online campaigns have seen
successes.
A year ago, just before Christmas, the
Dumb Friends League in Denver posted
a photo and story on Facebook of an
11-year-old cat that had been in its shelter for nearly eight months. Older cats
like Ripley are often overlooked by
potential adopters.
For her online appearance, Ripley
donned a tiny Santa suit. The posting
got hundreds of shares and likes and
netted her a new home, said Megan
Rees, spokeswoman for the organization.
The organization has increased its
adoption rate of adult cats by 13 percent
over the past year, with help from its
website, Facebook and Twitter.
The Oregon Humane Society also
turns to Facebook to help get pets
adopted over the holidays. The organizations page, with the headline Home
For The Holidays, shows four homeless animals wearing Santa hats: a cat, a
dog, a rabbit and a parrot.

show more owners plan to bring in

new employees in the coming months.
With revenue up 11 percent this year
at her four Squeeze In restaurants in
Reno Nevada and near Lake Tahoe,
owner Misty Young plans to add nine
people to her staff of about 90 next
year. Shell also open a fifth restaurant
next month in Redwood City,
California, and hire 25 employees
there.
Diners are spending an average 35
cents more per meal. When multiplied
by the 270,000 people Young serves a
year, it gives her an extra $94,500 in
annual revenue, she says. Customers
are ordering some of the most expensive items on the menu, like a $22 crab
omelet. Theyre willing to pay a few
dollars more for a premium vodka like
Grey Goose in their Bloody Marys.
People are in this I deserve it mentality. Theyve worked hard and they
want to play hard, Young says.
The healthier economy is luring customers back to Spa Lamar for mas-

sages, facials and pedicures. Owner

Heidi Lamar, who has 35 employees, is
hiring to bring her staff back up to 50,
the level before the recession.
Customers visit the Scottsdale,
Arizona, spa more often, and theyre
asking for more services. The average
bill has soared this quarter to $122
from $98, Lamar says. She needs more
staffers to handle the increased workload.
The group we have is getting to the
point where theyre maxed out, she
says.
The increase in business has encouraged Lamar to add new services such as
massages for couples. Shes also renovating and painting the spa.
Some of the pickup in revenue comes
from snowbirds, people who come to
Arizona to escape the cold. But area
residents are splurging on themselves
again, she says.
They say, weve really missed you.
Its good to be coming back again,
she says.

and living productive lives.

The practice was relatively commonplace until the 1990s. Ronald Reagan,
a Republican, granted 574 during his
two terms as governor, and George
Deukmejian, a Republican and former
state attorney general, granted 325
during his two terms.
The practice declined after that.
Former Republican governor Pete
Wilson, who was elected to the first of
his two terms in 1990, granted just 13
pardons, while former Republican
governor Arnold Schwarzenegger
issued 15. Gray Davis, a Democrat,

issued no pardons before he was

recalled from office in 2003, partway
through his second term.
Brown revived the practice and has
handed out 510 pardons since taking
office in 2011.
A gubernatorial pardon does not
erase a conviction but rather restores
certain rights, such as allowing the
person to serve on a jury. It also gives
them the ability to own a gun, unless
they had been convicted of a crime
involving a dangerous weapon, and
allows them to work as a county probation officer or state parole agent.
