SKIMPY HEALTH LAW PLANS LEAVE SOME

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO The rst Sierra snow
survey of the winter on Friday conrmed the
fears of state water managers, who are warn-
ing of drought conditions in the coming
year unless the state receives signicantly
more rain and snow.
Surveyors found mostly bare ground when
they tried to measure the snowpack near
South Lake Tahoe. Manual and electronic
readings showed the water content in the
statewide snowpack at just 20 percent of
average for this time of year. This years
reading and the one in January 2012 are the
lowest on record.
While we hope conditions improve, we
are fully mobilized to streamline water
transfers and take every action possible to
ease the effects of dry weather on farms,
homes and businesses as we face a possible
third consecutive dry year, Department of
Water Resources Director Mark Cowin said
in a statement.
The winter snowpack in the northern and
central Sierra provides about a third of the
states water supply.
At this rate, the state estimates it will be
able to deliver just 5 percent of the water
requested by 29 public agencies this year.
Those agencies supply more than 25 mil-
lion Californians and nearly a million acres
of irrigated farmland.
The calendar year that just ended was one
of the driest on record in California, leaving
reservoirs at historic lows and leading some
cities to implement water restrictions.

The Marin County businessman charged
with attempted murder for allegedly trying
to throw his wife off the San Mateo-
Hayward Bridge after rst crashing their car
into a guard rail pleaded not guilty Friday
through his attorney.
Xavier Jarrell McClintons reported
attempt on his wifes life Dec. 13 came after
weeks of paranoid and uncharacteristic
behavior on his behalf, according to prose-
cutors.
The 47-year-old personal trainer and t-
ness business owner, known in the Marin
tness community by the moniker X, had
been acting normally up until a few weeks
ago when he began thinking people were
trying to break into his house to harm him-
self and the couples chil-
dren, according to the
District Attorneys Ofce.
The behavior culminat-
ed in an odd mid-day inci-
dent that snarled commute
traffic, left his wife of
eight years with a severe
gash on her cheek and
ended with his plunge
into the Bay and arrest.
McClinton appeared in
court shortly after his arrest but has been
absent the next two hearings. On Friday, his
attorney entered the pleas on his behalf.
That afternoon, the couple reportedly
drove through San Francisco, down the
Peninsula and east onto the bridge. The cou-
ple reportedly argued and prosecutors say
McClinton tried driving the vehicle off the
side but ended up crashing about 2:25 p.m.
He then allegedly pulled his wife from the
vehicle and tried to go over the bridge side
with her until passersby grabbed her legs
and held her dangling as he fell. Rescue
crews pulled him from the water and arrested
him.
All bridge lanes reopened shortly after 4
p.m. but trafc remained snarled for hours.
He is held without bail and barred from
contacting his wife.

A Redwood City taekwondo instructor
accused of groping a 9-year-old student dur-
ing a lesson last year and possessing child
pornography found after the childs father
called police was sentenced Friday to more
than three years in prison.
Ralph Eugene Todd III, 32, faced up to
three years and eight months in prison after
pleading no contest in November to child
molestation and child pornography posses-
sion. On Friday, he received that maximum
and was ordered to regis-
ter as a sex offender for
life.
Prosecutors say, on
Dec. 17, 2012, the cry-
ing boy told his father,
who had come to pick
him up at Kims
TaeKwonDo Academy in
Woodside Plaza, that
Todd said he was not
doing his moves properly and squeezed his
genitals while correcting his form. Later
inside an ofce, he allegedly pulled down
the boys pants and fondled him again. The
father contacted police, who arrested Todd
Dec. 19 and seized his computer. Police
reported nding child pornography on the
computer.
Todd, who had been free on his own
recognizance after accepting the plea deal,
was immediately taken into custody. He has
credit of three days earned while in custody
on $200,000 bail before a judge agreed to
release him before sentencing.

Sidonie Augustine Canerot
Sidonie Augustine Canerot passed away December 29, 2013 at
the age of 103! Right up to the last few days of her life she
remained Independent and exceptionally healthy for her age.
She was born in France on Aug 23, 1910 and was one of
10 siblings. Sidonie grew up on a farm near the Pyrenees
where she had a strong sense of loyalty to the family
especially toward her sisters and brothers.
In 1927 Sidonie came to San Francisco to join some of
her family to work as a governess and nanny. A few years
later she met and married Denis Canerot, who also came
from France. Together they owned and operated 2 French
laundries in San Francisco and San Carlos. Their marriage
was very special and a wonderful model for the family.
Sidonie is survived by her daughter Jeannette KLebofski
(Dean Hoffman), son Leon Canerot (Carmen Leon), grandsons
Peter Klebofski and Damien Canerot, grand daughter Michelle
Klebofski, great granddaughter kristian Klebofski, and many
nieces and nephews in the U.S. and France.
She loved baking cookies, fixing delicious meals for family,
sharing stories of her past, playing Pedro (card game), and
gardening -- it kept her young beyond her years. Sidonie
will be greatly missed by her family and friends
Funeral services will be held at 11:00 a.m. on January 3rd

$1 robbery suspect to trial
The second of two San Mateo men
accused of using a fake handgun to rob
an audio store clerk of $1 was held to
answer on armed robbery charges the
same as his codefendant.
Tyler Aaron Ehrman, 21, has pleaded
not guilty but a judge found sufcient
evidence after a hearing in which one
police ofcer testied for the prosecu-
tion and the defense called no witness-
es. He returns to court Jan. 17 to enter
a Superior Court plea and set a trial
date.
Meanwhile, code-
fendant Cameron
Keyoun Nickravesh,
22, is already sched-
uled for trial April
7.
The two men
allegedly entered Tri
Audio Sound on
North San Mateo
Drive the evening
of Oct. 15 and pulled out a replica
handgun. They allegedly robbed the
worker of the single dollar in his wal-
let and ed in a Toyota Camry onto
Highway 101. Other ofcers stopped
the car traveling south and reported
finding the replica
gun in the vehicle
during the arrest.
After their arrest,
Ehrmans attorney
expressed a doubt
about his mental
competency but two
c o u r t - a p p o i n t e d
doctors agreed he
was able to aid in
his own defense.
Ehrman is in custody on $100,000
and a no-bail probation hold for a
2011 residential burglary conviction.
Nickravesh is free from custody on a
$30,000 bail bond.

Local brief
By Tarry Collins and Terence Chea
OAKLAND Ajudge said Friday that the
mother of a 13-year-old girl who was
declared brain dead after tonsil surgery can
remove her daughter from a California hos-
pital if she assumes full responsibility for
the consequences.
Alameda County Superior Court Judge
Evelio Grillo said Jahi McMath can be
transferred under a deal with Childrens
Hospital Oakland that will hold Nailah
Winkfield accountable for developments
that could include Jahi going into cardiac
arrest.
The hospital has argued since before
Christmas that Jahis brain death means she
is legally dead and she should be discon-
nected from the ventilator that has kept her
heart pumping for 3 1/2 weeks.
Winkeld, refusing to believe her daugh-
ter is dead as long as her heart is beating,
has gone to court to stop the machine from
being disconnected. She wants to transfer
Jahi to another facility after forcing
Childrens Hospital to t her daughter with
breathing and feeding tubes or allowing an
outside doctor to perform the surgical pro-
cedures.
Grillo on Friday rejected the familys
move to have the hospital insert the tubes,
noting the girl could be moved with the
ventilator and intravenous uid lines she
has now. He also refused to compel the hos-
pital to permit an outside doctor perform the
procedures on its premises.
The familys attorney, Christopher
Dolan, nonetheless called the agreement a
big step in resolving the dispute.

in strong-arm robbery
South San Francisco police are look-
ing for a suspect in a strong-arm rob-
bery that occurred late Thursday night.
The victim was getting into his car
in the 200 block of Aspen Avenue
shortly after 11:30 p.m. when an
unknown male suspect approached
from behind and grabbed a gold chain
and pendant around his neck, police
said.
The chain broke and fell to the
ground, and the suspect ed on foot
with the pendant, running west on
Aspen Avenue, police said.
No weapon was displayed and the
victim did not suffer any injuries,
police said.
The suspect is described as a tall
Hispanic man who is between 30 and
35 years old with a thin build. He was
clean-shaven and wore a dark jacket
and dark jeans, police said.
Anyone with information about the
case should contact South San
Francisco police at (650) 877-8900 or
can call (650) 952-2244 to make an
anonymous tip.
Woman, 41, first
flu death of season
A 41-year-old woman who died
shortly before Christmas is Santa
Clara Countys rst u death of the sea-
son, county health officials said
Friday.
The woman died on Dec. 23 due to
the H1N1 virus, also known as swine
flu, according to the Santa Clara
County Public Health Department.
The county has also recorded seven
cases of severe u so far this u sea-
son, six of which were also conrmed
to be H1N1 and one of which was Flu
B, ofcials said.
However, only u cases in persons
under 65 years of age that are severe
enough to require hospitalization in an
intensive care unit or result in death are
reported to the Public Health
Department.
Health ofcials are urging residents
to get vaccinated against the u, say-
ing it is not too late. This years vac-
cine does protect against H1N1.
In addition, residents are reminded to
cover their nose and mouth with a tis-
sue when they sneeze or cough, wash
their hands often with plain soap and
water or alcohol-based hand cleaners,
avoid contact with those who are sick
and stay home if they are sick them-
selves.

WASHINGTON For working peo-
ple making modest wages and strug-
gling with high medical bills from
chronic disease, President Barack
Obamas health care plan sounds like
long-awaited relief. But the promise
could go unfullled.
Its true that patients with cancer and
difcult conditions such as multiple
sclerosis or Crohns disease will be
able to get insurance and nancial help
with monthly premiums.
But their annual out-of-pocket costs
could still be so high theyll have trou-
ble staying out of debt.
You couldnt call them uninsured any
longer. You might say theyre under-
insured.
These gaps need to be addressed in
order to fulll the intention of the
Affordable Care Act, said Brian
Rosen, a senior vice president of the
Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.
There are certainly challenges for
cancer patients.
Cost may still be an issue for those
in need of the most care, said Steven
Weiss, spokesman for the American
Cancer Society Cancer Action
Network. That makes it critically
important for patients looking at pre-
miums to also consider out-of-pocket
costs when choosing a plan.
Out-of-pocket costs include a health
plans annual deductible, which is the
amount before insurance starts paying,
as well as any copayments and cost-
sharing.
A few numbers tell the story. Take
someone under 65 with no access to
health insurance on the job and mak-
ing $24,000 a year about what
many service jobs pay.
Under the health care law, that per-
sons premiums would be capped
below 7 percent of his income, about
$130 a month. A stretch on a tight
budget, yet doable.
But if he gets really sick or has an
accident, his out-of-pocket expenses
could go as high as $5,200 a year in a
worst-case scenario. Thats even with
additional nancial subsidies that the
law provides people with modest
incomes and high out-of-pocket costs.
The $5,200 would be more than 20
percent of the persons income, well
above a common threshold for being
underinsured.
Skimpy health law plans leave some underinsured
By Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar
WASHINGTON You were patient
with the governments kooky website,
and now you have your health insur-
ance card. Thats good, since your fam-
ily is expecting a new baby.
But you may have jump through
more hoops to get the child formally
added to your policy. The Obama
administration conrms there is no
quick and easy way for consumers to
update their coverage under the new
health law for the birth of a baby and
other common life changes.
With regular private insurance, par-
ents just notify the health plan.
Insurers still must cover new babies,
ofcials say, but parents will also have
to contact the government at some
point later.
For now, the HealthCare.gov web-
site cant handle new baby updates,
along with a list of other life changes
including marriage and divorce, a death
in the family, a new job or a change in
income, even moving to a different
community.
Such changes affect not only cover-
age but also the nancial assistance
available under the law, so the govern-
ment has to be brought into the loop.
But the systems wiring for that vital
federal function isnt yet fully con-
nected.
At least 2 million people have
signed up for private health policies
through new government markets
under President Barack Obamas over-
haul. Coverage started Wednesday, and
so far, things appear to be running
fairly smoothly, although it may take
time for problems to bubble up. Health
and Human Services Secretary
Kathleen Sebelius calls it a new day in
health care.
Adding a baby to new health law plans not easy
By Jesse J. Holland
WASHINGTON The Obama administration urged a
Supreme Court justice Friday to stop blocking the new
health care laws requirement that some religion-afliated
organizations provide health insurance that includes birth
control.
The Justice Department called on Justice Sonia
Sotomayor to dissolve her last-minute stay on the contra-
ceptive coverage requirement of the Affordable Care Act,
also known as Obamacare. Sotomayor issued the stay on
New Years Eve, only hours before the laws coverage went
into effect.
Under the health care law, most health insurance plans
have to cover all FDA-approved contraceptives as preven-
tive care for women, free of cost to the patient. Churches
and other houses of worship are exempt from the birth
control requirement, but afliated institutions that serve
the general public are not. That includes charitable organ-
izations, universities and hospitals.
In response to an outcry, the government came up with a
compromise that requires insurers or health plan adminis-
trators to provide birth control coverage but allows the
religious group to distance itself from that action. The
exemption is triggered when the religious group signs a
form for the insurer saying that it objects to the coverage.
The insurer can then go forward with the coverage.
Agroup of Denver nuns who run nursing homes for the
poor, called the Little Sisters of the Poor Home for the
Aged, say signing that form makes them complicit in pro-
viding contraceptive coverage, and therefore violates
their religious beliefs. They want Sotomayor to make the
injunction permanent until the case can be hashed out in
court, or for the Supreme Court to agree to take their case
now.
Government ofcials are simply blind to the religious
exercise at issue: The Little Sisters and other applicants
cannot execute the form because they cannot deputize a
third party to sin on their behalf, said their lawyer, Mark
Rienzi, who is also senior counsel for the Becket Fund for
Religious Liberty.
But Solicitor General Donald Verrilli said in court papers
that nothing in the law will make those nuns pay for birth
control for their employees. The nuns insurance is pro-
vided through a church plan that is not required to provide
contraceptive coverage and has said it will not, he said,
making their complaint baseless.

mandate should not be blocked

WASHINGTON A secretive U.S. spy
court has ruled again that the National
Security Agency can keep collecting every
Americans telephone records every day,
in the midst of dueling decisions in two
civilian federal courts about whether the
surveillance program is constitutional.
The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance
Court on Friday renewed the NSA phone
collection program, said Shawn Turner, a
spokesman for the Office of the Director of
National Intelligence. Such periodic
requests are somewhat formulaic but
required since the program started in 2006.
The latest approval was the first since
two conflicting court decisions about
whether the program is lawful and since a
presidential advisory panel recommended
that the NSA no longer be allowed to col-
lect and store the phone records and search
them without obtaining separate court
approval for each search.
In a statement, Turner said that 15 judges
on the U.S. Foreign Intelligence
Surveillance Court on 36 occasions over
the past seven years have approved the
NSAs collection of U.S. phone records as
lawful.
Also Friday, government lawyers turned
to U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of
Columbia Circuit to block one federal
judges decision that threatens the NSA
phone records program.
The opposing lawyer who spearheaded
the effort that led to the ruling said he
hopes to take the issue directly to the
Supreme Court.
The Justice Department filed a one-page
notice of appeal asking the appeals court
to overturn U.S. District Judge Richard
Leons ruling last month that the program
was likely unconstitutional. The govern-
ments move had been expected.
Larry Klayman, who filed the class-
action suit against President Barack
Obama and top administration national
security officials, said he intends to peti-
tion the federal appeals court next week to
send the case directly to the Supreme
Court. Klayman said the move was justified
because the NSA case was a matter of great
public importance.
There are exigent circumstances here,
Klayman said. We cant allow this situa-
tion to continue. The NSAs continuing to
spy on everybody.
Turner said U.S. intelligence agencies
would be willing to modify the phone
records surveillance program to provide
additional privacy and civil liberties pro-
tections as long as it was still operational-
ly beneficial. He said the Obama adminis-
tration was carefully evaluating the advi-
sory panels recent recommendations.
Judges sitting on the secretive spy
court have repeatedly approved the pro-
gram for 90-day periods. They also have
repeatedly upheld the constitutionality of
the program a judicial bulwark that
held strong until Leons surprise decision
last month.
Leon said the NSAs program was
almost Orwellian, a reference to writer
George Orwells futuristic novel 1984,
and that there was little evidence the oper-
ation had prevented terrorist attacks. He
ruled against the government but agreed to
postpone shutting down the program until
the government could appeal.
In a separate case involving the same
NSA phone records program, a district
judge in New York last month upheld the
governments data collection as lawful.
The American Civil Liberties Union,
which lost that case, said this week it will
appeal to a federal appeals court in New
York.
U.S. spy court: NSA to keep collecting phone records
By M.L. Johnson
MILWAUKEE The federal govern-
ment on Friday proposed eliminating
restrictions on the use of corn and soy-
bean seeds that are genetically engi-
neered to resist a common weed killer,
a move welcomed by many farmers but
feared by scientists and environmen-
talists who worry it could invite grow-
ers to use more chemicals.
The herbicide known as 2,4-D has
had limited use in corn and soybean
farming because it becomes toxic to
the plants early in their growth. The
new seeds would allow farmers to use
the weed killer throughout the plants
lives.
Farmers have been eager for a new
generation of herbicide-resistant seeds
because of the prevalence of weeds that
have become immune to Monsantos
Roundup. But skeptics are concerned
that use of the new seeds and 2,4-D will
only lead to similar problems as weeds
acquire resistance to that chemical too.
Its just so clear. You can see that
you have this pesticide treadmill
effect, said Bill Freese, a chemist
with the Washington, D.C.-based
Center For Food Safety, which pro-
motes organic agriculture.
Most corn and soybeans grown in
the U.S. are already genetically engi-
neered, largely to resist Roundup,
which was introduced in 1976. Before
that, most farmers tilled their elds
prior to planting, ipping the soil
over and burying the weeds to kill
them. The technique also exposed
tilled earth to the air, creating prob-
lems with erosion and runoff.
Herbicide-resistant seeds permitted
most farmers to stop tilling because
they could spray fields after their
plants emerged, killing the weeds but
leaving crops unharmed.
The new generation of plants
allowed us to do a better job of con-
trolling the weeds, and therefore,
weve been able to do a better job of
preserving the soil, which is our pri-
mary natural resource, said Ron
Moore, who grows 2,000 acres of corn
and soybeans with his brother in west-
ern Illinois.
The U.S. Department of Agricultures
plant-inspection agency concluded
that the greatest risk from the new
seeds developed by Dow AgroSciences
was increased use of 2,4-D, which
could hasten the evolution of weeds
resistant to it.
But, the agency said, resistance
could develop anyway because 2,4-D is
the third most-used weed-killer in the
nation.
Freese and other advocates also
raised concerns about possible health
risks from increased use of 2,4-D and
the chemicals tendency to drift
beyond the area where it is sprayed,
threatening neighboring crops and
wild plants.
Government might deregulate corn, soybean seeds
Florida to pass New York States population
ORLANDO, Fla. Sometime this year, Florida will sur-
pass New York in population, becoming the nations third-
most populous state, and sun-seeking seniors are not driving
the growth.
The milestone is validation of the increasing inuence of
the Sunshine State as it approaches being home to 20 million
residents. Once Florida passes New York, only California and
Texas will have more people.
Florida is kind of an icon of the 21st century in terms of
the shifting population and the growing role Latin America is
playing in transforming the country, said James Johnson, a
business professor at the University of North Carolina. I
think its going to be for the 21st century what California or
New York was for the 20th century.
Florida encompasses many trends in America: an aging
population, a service-oriented economy with many low-wage
jobs and an ethnic diversity propelled by Hispanic growth.
Like the United States, Florida is a haven for migrants and
people making fresh starts, and the states 29 electoral votes
are the nations most coveted given Florida is the nations
largest swing state. Florida also has myriad problems, some
the result of its explosive growth, which must be addressed
for the state to keep thriving.
Obama proposes firearm background check changes
HONOLULU The Obama administration on Friday
announced a pair of executive actions aimed at strengthening
federal background checks for gun purchasers, with a particu-
lar focus on limiting rearm access for those with mental
health issues.
One proposed rule change aims to clarify terminology used
by federal law to prohibit people from purchasing a rearm
for mental health reasons. The administration said states
have complained that some wording is ambiguous, making it
difcult to determine who should be blocked from buying a
weapon.
Digging out: Extreme cold grips snowy Northeast
BOSTON Homeowners and motorists dug out across the
white-blanketed Northeast on Friday as extreme cold ushered
in by the storm threatened ngers and toes but kept the snow
powdery and mercifully easy to shovel. At least 15 deaths
were blamed on the storm as it swept across the nations east-
ern half.
While the snowfall had all but stopped by morning across
the hard-hit Philadelphia-to-Boston corridor and many high-
ways and streets were soon plowed and reopened, tempera-
tures were in the single digits and teens, with wind chills well
below zero.

OPINION 9
By Charles Chip Huggins
H
ow many more Newtown
massacres must be experi-
enced before Congress
overhauls the nations federal men-
tal health policies? Pennsylvania
Rep. Tim Murphy, a psychologist
by training, has spent the last year
studying the ineffective federal
mental health system that takes up
to $125 billion to fund. Funds are
used for mental health via pro-
grams ranging from Medicaid to the
Social Security Administration. Mr.
Murphys committee, Energy and
Commerce subcommittee on over-
sight and investigations, discov-
ered that most of the funds go to
vague and ineffective services
rarely focused on treating the most
serious illnesses schizophrenia,
bipolar disorder or severe depres-
sion. The committee also discov-
ered that there is little interagency
coordination, little government
data collection on treatment out-
comes and no central effort to drive
evidence-based care.
Mr. Murphys bill will reorient all
current programs and create a new
Health and Human Services assis-
tant secretary for mental health and
substance-use disorders who would
lead federal mental illness efforts.
The secretary would have to be a
medical professional with experi-
ence in evidence-based mental
health care and would be responsi-
ble for promoting the medically
oriented models of
care adopted by
the National
Institute of Mental
Health. Federal
dollars need to
support programs
which treat when
first signs of psy-
chosis appear.
All mental health grants should
be based on programs meeting evi-
dence-based practice standards.
Those programs achieving treat-
ment outcomes should be receiving
the majority of federal funding.
The standard for involuntary con-
finement needs to be addressed
since it is really impossible to
meet, and even psychotics are often
able to present a brief facade of nor-
malcy. Many are unaware theyre
even ill and wont voluntarily get
help.
The Murphy bill would only fund
mental health centers that have
state laws that support need for
treatment standards, which gives
families and physicians greater
ability to get help for the mentally
ill. The state of New York passed
Kendras Law which has been a
model for how outpatient treatment
laws can help the most vulnerable
and save lives. With Kendras Law,
courts can require the mentally ill,
as a condition of remaining in the
community, to receive treatment.
The Murphy bill also addresses
one of the more destructive forces
in the mental health system, the
legal lobby. Tax dollars are funding
a small army of self-appointed
advocates who encourage the
mentally ill to avoid treatment, and
who fight parental and court
attempts to get them care. The
Murphy bill stops this funding. It
also provides physicians legal safe
harbors to volunteer at understaffed
mental health centers, something
many currently wont do for fear of
malpractice suits.
Can this bill muster bipartisan
support and will the Obama admin-
istration accept a GOP initiative?
Or does our federal government
continue through $100 million at a
failed system as Vice President Joe
Biden has proposed. All the money
in the world wont help the mental-
ly ill if it isnt getting to them or is
squandered on ineffective treat-
ments. Rep. Murphys bill is an
informed attempt to overhaul a bro-
ken system. It might even prevent
the next Newtown.

Time for mental health overhaul
Billionaire bullies
By John McDowell
T
he other day I saw The Hobbit: The Desolation of
Smaug, which I thoroughly enjoyed. In it, the wizard
Gandalf laments the growth of the Power of the
Shadow and how the forces of good had been blind to its
resurgence. That same week, Organizing for Action (President
Obamas political army) tweeted On one side: Shadowy
groups spending millions to obscure the
facts. I realized there was a connection
between the two. OFAis right, the power
of shadowy groups grows, and dark
money spreads across our body politic.
Yet many have been blind to the destruc-
tive power these groups and their secre-
tive donors wield, just as the forces of
good are blind in The Hobbit.
Acabal of 1 percenters, billionaires
who use the levers of power to enact their
own agenda, funds much of the Power of the Shadow. The
wealthy use innocuous sounding front groups, foundations
that dont reveal the source of their funding and pass-through
organizations to obscure their plans, hide their power and
attempt to fool middle class, working Americans into sup-
porting polices that protect the powerful at the expense of the
people.
The billionaire bullies who fund these groups hide their
trail, but a few researchers have delved deep into campaign
nance reports and IRS lings to report on their machina-
tions. Its time to reveal their ndings and put a spotlight on
the inner workings of the elite.
Aleading member is San Franciscos own progressive-lib-
eral billionaire Tom Steyer. Steyer made his money the old-
fashioned way, as a hedge fund manager using nancial
manipulations unavailable to middle class investors. While
Occupy protesters marched naked in San Franciscos streets,
Steyer was busy behind the scenes trying to bend public poli-
cy to his will. He poured almost $22 million into
Proposition 39, a measure sold to voters as a feel-good pro-
gram, but in reality, it raises taxes by $1 billion a year on
California businesses.
He then turned his eye to the Senate race in Massachusetts.
There, according to the Los Angeles Times, his intervention
and bullying in the Democratic primary enraged local voters
to the point that his preferred candidate had to tell him to
back off. Not satised with meddling in Massachusetts, the
billionaire funded an $8 million independent expenditure in
the Virginia governors race on behalf of the corrupt crony-
capitalist Terry McAuliffe.
Steyers secretive political operation is now going after the
Keystone XLpipeline, a project that will generate thousands
of high-paying jobs, help close the income gap and keep oil
off collision prone trains. But, follow the money. Steyers
former hedge fund, Farallon Capital Management, is heavily
invested in Kinder Morgan, the giant oil and gas pipeline
rm that owns the TransMoutain pipeline, a competitor to
Keystone XL. According to Forbes magazine, killing
Keystone XLwill allow Kinder Morgan to reap windfall prof-
its. Not a bad days work for a billionaire bully.
Another of the shadowy cabal is the Hungarian-born
George Soros. Soros has made a career out of funding innocu-
ous sounding, interlocking political front groups funded
through foundations and other organizations that do not
reveal their sources of income. In 2004, he along with bil-
lionaire buddy Peter Lewis (now deceased) donated almost $40
million to defeat George W. Bush.
However, that spending is only a part of Soros attempts to
control American politics. He and his Open Society Institute,
as documented by DiscoverTheNetwork.org, have funded liter-
ally hundreds of interlocking and networked groups that then
go on to fund coalitions that obscure Soros as the ultimate
source of their millions in dark money.
One of the most egregious efforts of Soros and other 1 per-
centers was an attempt to wrest control of American elections
through the bland sounding Secretary of State Project. In real-
ity, this was an attempt to elect and inuence secretaries of
state who just happen to control vote counting who
would bend to Soros will. As Joseph Stalin pointed out, The
people who cast the votes decide nothing. The people who
count the votes decide everything. Thankfully, the project is
shuttered, but not before propelling to power several secre-
taries of state, including in Ohio and Minnesota, where well-
documented vote counting irregularities have subsequently
taken place.
There is more to the secretive Power of the Shadow dark
money that infects our land. Both Democracy Alliance (co-
founded by Soros) and the Tides Foundation solicit millions
in secret donations that ow in an unseen river from million-
aires and billionaires to progressive-liberal groups across the
country.
The people may not have a hero hobbit on our side who can
help ght off the attempts to take control of our government
and our lives. Nevertheless, we do have the power to name
Steyer, Soros, Democracy Alliance and the Tides Foundation
for what they are, and to bring their secretive activities into
the light of day. After all, sunlight is the best disinfectant.

Sacramento Bee
T
he new year isnt starting
well for 213,793
Californians; their unem-
ployment benefits expired last
Saturday, owing to inaction by
House Republicans.
Democrats on the House Ways and
Means Committee released a state
by state count of American workers
who lost their benefits. California
is one of the hardest-hit, as is
Nevada.
In addition to the 213,793
Californians whose jobless benefits
ended over the weekend, 325,800
others stand to lose their benefits in
the first half of 2014, unless they
find work or Congress acts upon its
return to Washington, D.C.
Californias unemployment rate of
8.3 percent remains above the
national average. Parts of the
Central Valley are far above the
average. Consider these numbers:
In Tulare County, unemployment
is 12.9 percent and 3,256 people
lost their benefits. In Fresno
County, 12.6 percent of the work-
force is out of work and 7,108 peo-
ple lost benefits. In Merced County,
unemployment is 13.6 percent and
1,939 lost benefits.
St ani sl aus Count y: 12. 1 per-
cent unempl oyment and 3, 749
l ost benefi t s. San Joaqui n
Count y: 12. 2 percent unempl oy-
ment and 4, 942 l ost benefi t s.
Sacrament o Count y: 8. 1 percent
unempl oyment and 8, 599 l ost
benef i t s.
For perspective, the average
unemployment check is $1,166 per
month. Multiply that by 8,599
Sacramento County people who
wont get checks in January. Thats
$10 million per month. The cut will
hurt individuals. It also will hurt
people selling gasoline and food.
The Fresno Bee recently quoted
Rep. Tom McClintock, R-Elk
Grove, as saying extending unem-
ployment hurts the unemployed
because it reduces the incentive
they have to get into the work-
force.
Unemployed workers wont be
getting checks, but still will have a
vote.
Come November, perhaps they
will use their votes to help House
Republicans who oppose the exten-
sion test their theory.

Big movers

NEWYORK After last years big
party in the stock market, 2014 is
starting off with a nagging hangover.
The Standard & Poors 500 index
edged a fraction of a point lower on
Friday, beginning a year with a two-
day losing streak for the rst time
since 2005.
While few analysts expect 2014 to
produce gains comparable to last
years advance of nearly 30 percent,
many see a moderate increase as the
economy continues to improve and
investors move funds out of bonds and
into stocks, which are generating
much bigger returns for investors.
The market is trying to nd some
direction here, said Scott Wren, a
senior equity strategist at Wells Fargo
Advisors. Were in for a few days of
trying to gure out whether we inch a
little higher or see some down days.
The S&P 500 index fell 0.61 points,
or 0.03 percent, to 1,831.37 and was
0.5 percent lower for the week.
The Dow Jones industrial average
gained 28.64 points, or 0.2 percent,
to 16,469.99. The Nasdaq composite
fell 11.16 points, or 0.3 percent, to
4, 131. 91.
General Motors was among the
stocks that posted the biggest losses
in the S&P 500. The automaker fell
$1.38, or 3.4 percent, to $39.57 after
reporting a U.S. sale slump of more
than 6 percent in December.
Energy companies have also started
the year with declines as the price of
oil falls.
On Friday, oil extended a weeklong
skid by falling $1.48, or 1.6 percent,
to $93.96 a barrel. A strengthening
U.S. economy drove the dollar higher,
which hurts oil, and signs emerged of
ample supply worldwide.
Federal Reserve Chairman Ben
Bernanke on Friday predicted stronger
growth in 2014 and said that factors
that have kept the economy from
accelerating appear to be abating.
The combination of nancial heal-
ing, greater balance in the housing
market, less scal restraint, and, of
course, continued monetary accommo-
dation bodes well for U.S. economic
growth in coming quarters, Bernanke
said in comments to the annual meet-
ing of the American Economic
Association in Philadelphia.
The encouraging economic back-
drop is one reason for investors to
remain positive about stocks, despite
the slow start to the year, said Bill
Barker, a senior portfolio analyst at
Motley Fool Funds, which manages
about $600 million in stock mutual
funds.
As long as there is no ination and
a good economy, with low interest
rates ... thats the kind of thing that
stocks love, Barker said.
Among the stock market winners on
Friday was Delta Air Lines.
The carriers stock jumped $1.53, or
5.5 percent, to $29.23 after a measure
of its revenue for December rose 10
percent. Delta beneted from strong
demand and the late Thanksgiving
holiday. Analysts at S&P Capital IQ
raised their earnings estimates for the
carrier and boosted their recommenda-
tion on the stock to strong buy.
Trading was muted Friday after a
winter storm hit the U.S. Northeast.
The governors of New York and New
Jersey declared states of emergency
and urged people to avoid travelling.
Trading was quiet this week, before
and after the New Years Day holiday
on Wednesday.
In government bond trading, the
yield on the 10-year Treasury note was
unchanged from Thursday at 2.99 per-
cent.
The yield on the note climbed from
1.76 percent last year to as high as 3
percent as investors sold bonds in an
improving economy. Many analysts
expect the yield to continue rising
this year as the Federal Reserve
reduces, or tapers, its stimulus.

WASHINGTON Federal Reserve
Chairman Ben Bernanke on Friday predicted
a stronger year for the U.S. economy in
2014, saying several factors that have held
back growth appear to be abating.
Americans nances have improved and
the outlook for home sales is brighter,
Bernanke said. He also expects less drag
from federal spending cuts and tax increases.
The combination bodes well for U.S.
economic growth in coming quarters,
Bernanke said during a speech to the annual
meeting of the American Economic
Association in Philadelphia.
Bernanke made a similar assessment of
the economy at a Dec. 18 news conference
after the Feds last meeting. At the meeting,
the Fed announced it
would begin in January to
reduce its monthly bond
purchases from $85 bil-
lion to $75 billion, not-
ing signs of an improv-
ing economy.
The bond purchases
are intended to keep
long-term interest rates
low and encourage more
borrowing and spend-
i ng.
Fridays appearance was expected to be
one of Bernankes nal speeches as Fed
chairman. He is stepping down at the end of
this month after eight years leading the
central bank.
The Senate is expected to conrm Janet
Yellen on Monday to be the next Fed chair-
man. She would take over on Feb. 1.
In his speech, Bernanke said that he tried
to make the Fed more transparent and
accountable while at the same time com-
bating a deep recession and severe finan-
cial crisis.
Making the Fed more transparent was an
important goal for him when he took over
in 2006. He cited his participation in more
television interviews, his efforts to hold
more town hall meetings and his visits to
universities. Bernanke also added a quarter-
ly news conference after four of the Feds
eight policy meetings.
We took extraordinary measures to meet
extraordinary economic challenges and we
had to explain those measures to earn the
publics support and condence, Bernanke
said.
Bernanke said while the nancial crisis
has passed the Feds need to educate and
explain will only grow.
Bernanke also used his speech to make
some pointed remarks at Congress. He said
excessively tight budget policies had
been counterproductive.
With scal and monetary policy work-
ing in opposite directions, the recovery is
weaker than it otherwise would be,
Bernanke said.
Bernanke also defended the central bank
against critics who say the Feds massive
bond purchases have had little effect on
jumpstarting the recovery.
Economic growth might well have been
considerably weaker, or even negative,
without substantial monetary policy sup-
port, Bernanke said. He noted economic
research that supported the benets of the
Feds bond purchases.
Bernanke: 2014 could be better year for economy
Ben Bernanke
By Dee-Ann Durbin and Tom Kirisher
DETROIT Automakers are going to
have to work a little harder for your busi-
ness in 2014.
After four years of strong sales increases
and few discounts as the economy
improved, U.S. demand for new cars and
trucks is expected to slow this year. That
could mean better deals for buyers as car
companies ght to increase their share of
the market.
The industry got a taste of whats to come
in December, when General Motors, Toyota
and Volkswagen all saw their sales fall from
a year ago. One reason: Competitors like
Ford and Honda increased their incentive
spending on hot sellers like pickup trucks
and midsize cars, according to TrueCar.com,
which tracks car prices. Cold weather and
strong sales over Black Friday in November
also pinched December sales, automakers
said.
This years slowdown is inevitable, ana-
lysts say. Many people who held on to their
cars through the recession have now bought
new ones. Those who havent may not be in
any rush, because cars are lasting longer
than ever before. And unless theres a
strong uptick in the economy, families
arent likely to buy a third car.
Alec Gutierrez, senior analyst for Kelley
Blue Book, expects U.S. sales to increase
by around 700,000 to 16.3 million in
2014.
BlackBerry sues startup
founded by Ryan Seacrest
SAN FRANCISCO Troubled smartphone
maker BlackBerry Ltd. is accusing a compa-
ny backed by American Idol host Ryan
Seacrest of being a rip-off artist.
The allegations emerged in a patent
infringement lawsuit led Friday in a San
Francisco federal court by BlackBerry. The
suit targets an iPhone keyboard made by
Typo Products LLC, a Los Angeles startup
co-founded by Seacrest and entrepreneur
Laurence Hallier.
The complaint contends that Typo
Products keyboard for recent iPhone models
illegally copies technology and designs that
BlackBerry pioneered years ago for its line
of smartphones. BlackBerry is seeking
unspecied damages and a court order that
would prevent Typo Products from selling
the keyboard without a licensing agreement.
Typo Products didnt immediately respond
to requests for comment.
The keyboard in dispute hasnt hit the mar-
ket yet, though Typo Products has been tak-
ing early orders for the $99 accessory on its
website and says its meant to ship in
January. Its designed to slip on to the
iPhone 5 and iPhone 5S so it can serve as a
substitute for the touch-screen keyboard
built into the software on those devices.
The physical keyboards on BlackBerrys
phones helped reshape the way that people
used mobile devices.
But those phones have been waning in
popularity since Apple Inc. released the rst
iPhone in 2007, threatening BlackBerrys
survival. As part of its efforts to adapt,
BlackBerry has introduced smartphones fea-
turing touch-screen keyboards, but the
Canadian company is still struggling after
suffering a $4.4 billion loss in its most
recent quarter.

OFFENSE REIGNS IN COLLEGE: DEFENSES PLAYING CATCHUP IN COLLEGE FOOTBALL >> PAGE 13

If youre a high school sports fan, one of
the rst questions asked of new year is: who
will win the Peninsula Athletic League
boys basketball title?
If youre looking at the South Division,
the answer is: who knows? As usual, there
are several of the 10 teams that have a legit-
imate chance at clinching the division
crown. Its the usual suspects, but is this the
year theres a surprise?
The following is a breakdown of the PAL
South Division, in alphabetical order. All
records are through Thursday and are based
off results given to MaxPreps.com.
Aragon (6-5)
With Alex Manus ability to penetrate
defenses off the dribble, it opens up the
Dons inside-out game, with wings Kevin
Hahn and Toby Liebergesell to circle around
and knock down the 3-pointers. When Manu
is on and hitting his shot, Aragon can be
hard to stop. The Dons can turn games into
frenzied, end-to-end track meets. If the Dons
struggle from the outside, however, theyll
be in trouble.
Burlingame (9-2)
The Panthers may have the two best play-
ers at their position in the PAL. Frankie

GREEN BAY, Wis. As a reward for nish-
ing the regular season tied for the second-best
record in the NFL, the San Francisco 49ers get
what may be one of the coldest playoff games
in league history.
Doesnt seem fair to the defending NFC
champions. But the playoff-tested 49ers are
up for the challenge of hitting the road, trying
to return to the Super Bowl. It starts Sunday
with a wild-card game against the Green Bay
Packers at frigid Lambeau Field.
Even when you have a home playoff game
its not easy. We understand that its all about
the team thats playing the best at the moment
and thats how you do it, safety Donte
Whitner said. It doesnt matter where we
play.
Well, maybe this weekend it might.
The high temperature on Sunday might be
in the single digits if the 49ers (12-4) and
Packers (8-7-1) are lucky. The wind promises
to make it feel even colder.
The coldest game on record is the 1967
championship game, known as the Ice
Bowl won by the Packers 21-17 over the
Dallas Cowboys at Lambeau on New Years
Eve. The temperature dipped to minus-13, and
the wind chill that day made it feel like minus-
48.
Cold weather in Lambeau Field, its a tough
place to play, Packers fullback John Kuhn
said. Im sure theyve got all kinds of ideas

Have you ever been
entrusted to make
final arrangements
for a funeral?
Those of you
whove had this
experience know
that important decisions are required and
must be made in a timely manner. The next
of kin is many times required to search for
information about the deceased which may
not be easily accessible, and must answer
questions without the time to think things
out. Even though your Funeral Director is
trained to guide you every step of the way, it
is still best for you to be prepared with the
proper information if the need should arise.
Ask your Funeral Director what info is
needed before you meet with him/her.
Making funeral arrangements can be very
simple, or can become difficult at times if
you are not prepared. A good Funeral
Director is experienced in leading you with
the necessary requirements, and will offer
details that you may not have thought about
or previously considered as an option.
Allowing him/her to guide you will make
the arrangements go by quickly and easily.
A number of items should be considered
in preparation for the future:
1. Talk to your loved ones about the
inevitable. Give them an indication on what
your wishes are regarding the type of funeral
you want, burial or cremation, etc., and ask
them their feelings about plans for their own
funeral. This is only conversation, but it is
an important topic which will help break the
ice and prevent any type of confusion when
the time comes.
2. Talk to your Funeral Director. Write
down a list of questions and make a phone
call to your Funeral Director asking how to
be prepared. He/she will gladly provide
detailed information and can mail this
information to you for your reference.
Asking questions doesnt cost anything and
will help you with being organized.
3. Make an appointment and Pre-plan a
Funeral. Many more people are following
through with this step by making Pre-Need
Arrangements. Completing arrangements
ahead of time makes this process more
relaxed, and putting these details behind you
will take a weight off your shoulders. Your
wishes will be finalized and kept on file at
the Mortuary. Your Funeral Director will
even help you set aside funding now as to
cover costs at the time of death. Families
who meet with us at the CHAPEL OF THE
HIGHLANDS are grateful for the chance to
make Pre-Need Arrangements. With their
final details in place it helps to make matters
more calming for surviving loved-ones.
4. Enjoy Life. There are those who dwell
on situations that cant be controlled.
Taking time to stop and look around at
beauty in the world and appreciate good
things can be therapeutic. If you need to use
a negative statement, try re-wording it into a
positive. Change I had a lousy day today
into Today was demanding, but it made me
appreciate my better days. As the song
goes: Accentuate the positive; Eliminate
the negative; Latch on to the affirmative.
If you ever wish to discuss cremation,
funeral matters or want to make pre-
planning 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

Accentuating The Positive
Can Eliminate The Negative
By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
While certainly there are those on the
Aragon boys soccer team who dont remem-
ber, as it turns out, a Viking never forgets.
Ayear ago, when the Dons and Mills met
on the soccer pitch, the battle was extreme-
ly brutal and the Vikings walked away with a
loss and bruises to show for their efforts.
But this season, as the Peninsula Athletic
League schedule lurks around the corner,
Mills head coach Craig Dillie said his team
came into a Friday non-league contest anx-
ious to avenge a 2013 loss to the Dons.
The boys have matured, he said. And
they came out ready to atone for last sea-
sons mishaps.
Mills revenge arrived midway through
the second half when Robert Thorgeson
headed a corner kick into the Aragon net for
the lone goal of the contest. From there, a
focused Vikings defense was the difference
in a 1-0 victory for the visitors.
Were grown, Dillie said. Last year, our
team was very young. These boys have
matured. Theyve played a lot together and
its helped out.
Aragon, on the other hand, is the oppo-
site of Mills. In the 1-0 loss, the Dons
showed its inexperience the team that
nished near the top of the Ocean Division
last season graduated eight seniors. Thus,
when it comes to the leadership and commu-
nication a soccer team needs, the Dons are
still very much a work in progress.
Thats the most difcult thing were fac-
ing right now the communication on the
field, said Aragon head coach Gregory
Markoulakis. Last year, we almost had too
many players taking charge. This year,
were still looking for someone to come out
of their shell.
For the most part Friday, Aragon con-
trolled possession. Ricky Villaseor and
Mannie Rivas had a couple of clear looks at
goal in the rst half but did not have that lit-
tle extra to see the ball into the net.
Mills Jun Jang had the halfs best oppor-
tunity on a shot that Julio-Garcia Salazar
made a diving stop on halfway through the
rst half. Salazar actually thwarted a couple
of clear looks at goal for the Vi ki ngs
throughout.
But he could do nothing against
Thorgesons header in the second half. Until
then, Michael Lanthier and German Perez
Meza put on a couple of great chances on the
Mills net in an attempt to give the Dons the
early second-half momentum.
But in the 62nd minute, Mills earned a
corner kick that Aoi Hernadez sent toward
the near post. Thorgeson began his run from
the defender position and its quickness sur-
prised the Aragon defense. No one could do
anything as an unmarked Thorgeson rocket-
ed the ball into the Dons goal for the 1-0
score.
The team played well, Dillie said. They
were focused and they improved from last
year.
A Rivas run in the games latter parts
almost netted Aragon with the equalizing
goal. Villaseor also came very close to
tying things up. But it wasnt meant to be
for the Dons who drop to 3-2-1 on the sea-
son.
Mills atones for 2013 loss
Memorial held for former
Terra Nova coach Jim Soden
The main gymnasium at Terra Nova High
School was a tting location for a celebra-
tion of the life of the late Jim Soden this
past weekend.
Soden, a former history teacher and bas-
ketball coach at the Pacica school, com-
piled a sterling record there, beginning in
the 1970s.
His teams recorded a total of 447 wins,
multiple league championships and one
Central Coast Section title. Most of those
victories came on the girls side of the
ledger.
Soden, who died unexpectedly in August at
the age of 70, was a San Mateo County pio-
neer coaching the girls game after passage
of Title IX, the landmark federal legislation
that mandated equal athletic opportunities
for females.
The father of two daughters who eventual-
ly played for him at Terra Nova, Soden was
described as being good at whatever he did
by a former colleague, Bud Bresnahan.
He believed that girls should be given a
chance to play, Bresnahan noted during the
Sunday ceremony.
Agraduate of Marin Catholic High School
and the University of San Francisco, Soden
was a strong voice for girls basketball on
the Peninsula and he lobbied tirelessly for
equitable treatment (facilities, schedules,
referees, etc.) for them.
His dominating presence on the Terra
Nova bench helped to raise the local prole
of the sport during the 1980s and early
1990s.
As Bresnahan put it, I dont think any-
one will match his record in this facility.
Soden is a member of the Peninsula Sports
Hall of Fame and the Pacica Sports Hall of
Fame.

ATLANTA Andre Iguodala hit a 3-pointer

the Golden State Warriors won their eighth

Stephen Curry added 22

Hawks. Atlanta had won three of four and six
of eight.
Iguodala was inbounding the ball with 2.8

when he passed the ball to Curry near the half-
court line.

ing a 1 for 7 night from Curry. In a stirring 123-114 victory at
two-time defending NBA champion Miami on Thursday,
Golden State matched a season high by hitting 15 3s, includ-
ing eight from Curry.
Golden State called timeout after Iguodala grabbed Paul
Millsaps missed jumper with 2.8 seconds remaining, and
coach Mark Jackson drew up the winning play.
Teague nished with 14 points and seven assists while
Millsap had 12 points and 11 rebounds for Atlanta.
Curry cut the lead to 11 with a fast-break reverse layup that
banked in high off the left side of the backboard with 6:10
remaining.
Coming out of the ensuing timeout, Thompson blocked
Teagues layup attempt, and Golden State quickly made it 91-84
on a layup by Harrison Barnes and Lees two free throws.
Curry hit his rst 3 with 5:05 remaining, cutting the lead to
93-87, but committed turnovers on three of Golden States next
four possessions and was upset enough to throw his mouth-
piece away in frustration on Atlanta baseline after getting
called for discontinued dribble.
Even so, the Warriors kept the pace frantic with tight defense
to fuel their fast break and go on a 20-4 run that ended with 2:21
remaining on Currys runner. Golden State led 96-95.
Atlanta went back up by four on Teagues free throw, but
Curry hit a layup to cut the lead to 100-98 with 25.3 seconds
remaining.

By Eddie Pells
NEWPORT BEACH With apologies to Florida State,
the question must be asked: Can anyone out there play
defense?
The Seminoles come into the BCS title game ranked rst
in the country in points allowed.
Auburn and the rest of them? Pretty much every one-liner
about busy scoreboard operators and video-game line scores
applies.
Including Tuesday nights Chik-l-A bowl, there have
been nine games this season involving teams from BCS
automatic-qualier conferences that produced 100 or more
points, according to STATS. Included among those:
Auburns 59-42 win over Missouri in the Southeastern
Conference title game.
As for anything resembling the Game of the Century
the 1946 classic between No. 1 Army and No. 2 Notre Dame
that ended in a 0-0 deadlock:
Thats an impossibility. That wont happen, Oklahoma
defensive coordinator Mike Stoops said. Its trickling
down now to where all the Southeastern Conference teams
have parts or variations of spread offenses. Theyre very dif-
cult to defend because of the space on the eld, and then the
quarterbacks running with the ball makes it even more chal-
lenging.
The over-under for Monday nights title game, despite
Florida States nation-leading 11.1 points-per-game
allowed, is 67 1/2.
The average over-under for this seasons bowl games: 58.
Through the rst 30 games of bowl season, winners aver-
aged 34.6 points.
Back in the day, games were decided 10-3 and that was
great stuff and hopefully we can get back to that, said
Central Florida linebacker Terrance Plummer, a few days
before the Knights topped Baylor 52-42 in the Fiesta Bowl.
It was the third bowl game this season to produce more than
90 points.
But Plummers vision probably wont materialize any-
time soon, at least not with the way the numbers are trend-
ing.
Thanks to the inux of spread offenses that dont huddle,
along with a rapid-re substitution patterns and more athlet-
ic quarterbacks, defenses have been taking an increasingly
steady drubbing over the past decade or so.
Teams in automatic-qualier conferences averaged 30.8
points per game this season, according to STATS, continu-
ing an upward trend from that dates to 2006, when the big
schools averaged 25.4 points per game.
And by big schools, that includes some of the most hal-
lowed programs in football.
Remember tough-nosed Big Ten football? This year, the
conferences marquee matchup produced this score: Ohio
State 42, Michigan 41. So much for three yards and a cloud
of dust. Another Michigan final from this season:
Wolverines 63, Indiana Hoosiers 47 in football, not
hoops.
With the way the rules have changed and the evolution of
the spread offense and all those things, not too much shocks
me, Georgia Tech defensive coordinator Ted Roof said. I
pretty much can roll with it. As long as we win, Im good.
The Auburn-Alabama game, another bastion of old-time,
grind-it-out football, was a 34-28 blockbuster this season,
capped by arguably the most memorable play in the sports
history Chris Davis 109-yard return of a missed eld
goal with no time left in regulation.
That was once-in-a-lifetime.
Some of these other 2013 nal scores are simply routine:
Duke 58, Pittsburgh 55
Arizona State 62, USC 41
SMU 55, Rutgers 52
The list goes on. It cuts across virtually all the big con-
ferences, led by the Pac-12, where teams averaged 33.5
points a game this season 6.5 more than they did only
ve years ago. Thats an increase of 24 percent.
Its kind of like fast-break basketball when youre play-
ing football and get the ball in the playmakers hands, said
Charlie Strong, coach of a Louisville team that ranks fourth
in the country in points allowed. Theyre looking for mis-
matches and its what you do on offense. Now its a mis-
matched game, so get the ball to your best players hand and
let him see if he can go make a guy miss just defensively.
Over the 30 bowl games played through Thursday nights
Sugar Bowl (Final: Oklahoma 45, Alabama 31), Louisville
was one of only four teams to hold its opponent to single
digits.
Auburn will come into the title game ranked a mediocre
38th in points allowed (24 per game) and a downright bad
88th in yards allowed (423.5).
We have got terrible-looking overall statistics and some
of them are not misleading, Auburn defensive coordinator
Ellis Johnson said. But we make critical stops at critical
times and were good on third and fourth down percentage
and good in the red zone and good in the fourth quarter.
Though offense has been slowly, steadily taking over the
game for decades, some suggest the most recent uptick orig-
inates with Chip Kelly, whose offense at Oregon, at its peak
in 2010, averaged 49 points a game. Kelly got snapped up
by the Philadelphia Eagles before this season and, in a turn-
around from decades past, many an NFL coach is now look-
ing to the college game to nd new wrinkles in offense.
2013 produces big numbers, not much defense
Thanks to the inux of spread offenses
that dont huddle, along with a rapid-re
substitution patterns and more athletic
quarterbacks, defenses have been
taking an increasingly steady
drubbing over the past decade or so.

Ferrari nally has the body to match
his game. Hes grown at least six
inches since his sophomore year
and can be deadly inside and out.
Team him with power
forward/center Nick Loew and
Burlingame will be hard to beat. As
long as Loew can avoid foul trouble,
he is nearly unstoppable in the
post. He can also get out and run the
oor and is an option on the fast
break.
Justin Gutang is the Panthers
wild card. Ajunior wing, he has not
shied away from looking for his
shot and, if his midrange game is
on, he could be that third piece cru-
cial to winning championships.
Capuchino (2-7)
Looks like it could be a long
year for the Mustangs. Things
arent looking much better in
2014 than they did last season
when they went winless in PAL
play and won only three games
overall.
Capuchino is ridiculously
young, with four sophomore mak-
ing the varsity squad. Those soph-
omores, however, give the
Mustangs some size a pair of
posts (Lucas Magni and Dylan
Mayor) in the 6-2 range and two 5-
8 guards (Jarrod Pascual and Raoul
Ligon). Much like freshmen on
the varsity team, it is expected
sophomores will get a lot of play-
ing time.
Carlmont (4-6)
Its a bit of a rebuilding year for
the Scots: new coach and upwards
of four starters from the team that
advanced to the CCS seminals
last season.
Michael Costello, who devel-
oped into one of the better shoot-
ers in the PAL last season, returns
for new coach Patrick Smith
Dave Lows assistant the last sev-
eral years. Joe Pitocchi returns in
the front court and gives the Scots
an inside presence.
The Scots biggest issue in the
preseason has been consistency.
They play a good game followed
by a stinker. They played well in
an 11-point loss to Aragon, but
were buried by Half Moon Bay, 68-
41. Carlmont needs to improve at
both ends of the court to compete
for a playoff spot.
Hillsdale (4-7)
The Knights preseason record
could easily be reversed. Hillsdales
biggest losing margin was 13
points. Afew more baskets here and
a few more defensive stops there and
Hillsdale could have seven or eight
wins.
The Knights biggest question is
can they nd a complement to Brian
Houle, a senior guard/forward who
paced the offense in the preseason.
Hillsdale is young this year with
only six seniors on a roster of 16.
They lost a bulk of their scoring and
leadership to graduation, so the
Knights are going to have to get
after it on each possession both
offensively and defensively if
they want to have sustained success
in PALplay.
Menlo-Atherton (6-3)
The Bears still have games
against St. Francis and Half Moon
Bay looming, but six preseason
wins would be quite the accomplish-
ment given their schedule.
Four of their wins have come
against private schools includ-
ing neighbors Sacred Heart Prep and
Menlo School, two squads that will
be in the mix for the West Bay
Athletic League title.
Two of their losses have come
against Sacred Heart Cathedral
one of three West Catholic Athletic
League teams on their schedule
and Half Moon Bay, the presump-
tive favorite to win the PAL North
Division title.
As long as the Bears stay within
striking distance of an opponent,
they have a chance to win thanks to
the pure shooting stroke of guard
Royce Branning. He poured in 29 in
a 65-62 loss to Burlingame, and led
the Bears in scoring against both
Anderson and St. Francis-
Watsonville.
Mills (9-2)
The Vikings quietly enter PAL
play as a contender to the South title
like they do seemingly every
year.
One would have expected some
growing pains this season after
Mills lost its two best players to
graduation in point guard Matty
Wong and forward Joseph Worku.
Instead, theyve been successful dur-
ing a tough preseason campaign.
The Vikings do return several
players from last seasons CCS
seminal squad, including Jeremy
Gibbs and Marquise Adkins, but not
a lot of experience. Listed as a for-
ward, Gibbs has the propensity to
knock down the 3-pointer consis-
tently. Adkins game is more suited
to do the dirty work cleaning up
around the glass and rebounding.
San Mateo (5-5)
The Bearcats can go nowhere but
up. They have already won more
games during the preseason than the
three they won all of last season
when they went 1-11 in PAL play
and 3-19 overall.
They are 3-0 against the PAL dur-
ing the preseason, including a 48-
46 win over division rival
Carlmont, so the Bearcats should
have some condence going into
PALaction.
Sequoia (2-2)
An opposing coach had to be
quick if he wanted to scout the
Cherokees. After a pair of games
locally, Sequoia took it to the road
Arizona, specically where
the Cherokees went 1-2 at the
Cactus Jam tournament.
Sequoia has been consistent
offensively, averaging more than
50 points in their two wins. They
put up 65 in a loss to Boulder Creek-
Ariz., but only 35 in a loss to
Scottsdale Christian.
If nothing else, Sequoia appears
to have the size to make other teams
uncomfortable, with 11 players on
the roster 6-foot or taller.
The Cherokees will also be fairly
young, with three sophomores and
eight juniors.
Woodside (3-5)
The Wildcats got off to a slow
start, winning only one of their rst
six games, getting blown out
against Clear Lake by 44 points and
Piedmont Hills by 33 points.
The low point came on back-to-
back, one-point losses to Stagg-
Stockton and Silver Creek. They
nally turned the corner with a win
over Westmoor and then holding off
Millennium-Tracy for a two-point
victory.
Josh Holman has made a smooth
transition from football to basket-
ball and look for the senior guard to
lead the Wildcats offense this year.
Michael Thompson and Kevin
Kahriman have shown ashes of
offense this season, but Woodside
needs to get more consistent pro-
duction from the entire team.
Keep an on NJai LeBlanc and
Evan Yedinak, a pair of freshman
who gure to be a major part of the
Woodside rotation. Acoach does not
usually keep freshmen on the varsi-
ty squad unless they are going to be
a major part of the program.

SANTA CLARA Jim Harbaugh got the
scouting report on Anquan Boldin from his
brother right around the time of the offsea-
son trade that send Boldin from Johns
Baltimore Ravens to Jims San Francisco
49ers.
A meticulous worker who never takes a
snap off even in practice. Aerce competitor
who only gets better when the stakes get
larger. The consummate pro.
Through 16 regular-season games that fea-
tured 85 catches for 1,179 yards and seven
touchdowns, Boldin more than lived up to
his billing in his rst season with the 49ers,
and was chosen the winner of the Bill Walsh
Award as team MVP on Friday.
Anquan Boldin is a football player, Jim
Harbaugh said this week. Let me say it
again, Anquan Boldin is a football player.
And, that sums up everything. Thats the
highest compliment you could give some-
body that plays the game of football.
The Niners saw rsthand what Boldin can
do on the stage of the postseason a year ago
when he played a big role in winning the
Super Bowl for the Ravens and denying the
49ers their sixth title.
He caught a 13-yard pass for the rst score
of the game, and nished with six receptions
for 104 yards. The biggest of those catches
might have come in the fourth quarter when
Boldin caught a 15-yard pass from Joe Flacco
on third-and-1 with Carlos Rogers draped all
over him.
That set up Baltimores last eld goal that
forced the 49ers to go for a touchdown on
their nal drive instead of being able to win
the game with a eld goal.
Now Boldin tries to get the Niners past that
last hurdle in this postseason, starting
Sunday in Green Bay.
I felt like I t right in, he said. Just
coming off a Super Bowl loss, everybody
wanted to get back to that game and make
things right. Ive been in that position, lost
a Super Bowl, and it left a bitter taste in my
mouth. Every time I get the chance to wipe
that taste off, Im going to take advantage of
it.
Despite his importance to the team, the
Ravens dealt Boldin to San Francisco for a
sixth-round pick when he wouldnt restruc-
ture the contract that owed him $6 million
this season.
While the Ravens failed to make the play-
offs, the 49ers won 12 games in part because
Boldin helped ll the void created by an off-
season torn right Achilles tendon that side-
lined Michael Crabtree for the rst 11 games.
With an offense that has an abundance of
threats for quarterback Colin Kaepernick,
including tight end Vernon Davis and run-
ning back Frank Gore, and a stingy defense,
Boldin sees a team that can do just what his
Ravens did a year ago.
I dont see why we cant, he said. I think
were suited perfectly.
Boldin has always been one of the most
reliable receivers in the game with his 857
career catches since entering the league in
2003, ranking fth in that span. He had 62
catches go for first downs this season,
including a league-leading 27 on third down.
He became the same kind of security blanket
for Kaepernick that he was for Flacco in
Baltimore and Kurt Warner in Arizona.
He has thrived when opposing defenses
have tried to stack up against the run.
Certain players, when they see that hap-
pening, it becomes a feeding frenzy, offen-
sive coordinator Greg Roman said. And he
is one of those, and theres not too many of
them out there. You saw it a little bit last
week with him. But, hes always been a great
football player, somebody Ive admired from
afar and even more now that weve had a
chance to work with him.
Boldin was at his best in his debut for San
Francisco when he caught 13 passes for 208
yards and a touchdown in a 34-28 win over
Green Bay.
He then capped his season with his second
best game with nine catches for 149 yards
and a score in a season-ending win over
Arizona that clinched the fth seed for San
Francisco.
Hes one of the stronger receivers in the
league, a very good route runner, Packers
quarterback Aaron Rodgers said. Knows how
to get open, very good after the catch. He
runs strong with the football. He goes up and
gets the ball, he has very good hands. Hes a
talented guy. I think the Niners are probably
looking back at that and pretty happy about
that acquisition.
NOTES: The 49ers will hold a walk-
through at Lambeau Field on Saturday to try
to acclimate to the cold. ... Rogers did not
practice for a third straight day and is ques-
tionable with a hamstring injury. ... CB Eric
Wright (hamstring) and LB Dan Skuta (foot)
are also questionable.
Boldin meets expectations with 49ers
KIRBY LEE/USA TODAY SPORTS
Anquan Boldin nished his rst season with
the 49ers with 85 cateches for nearly 1,200
yards and seven touchdowns.
By Barry Wilner
Peyton Manning was the only unanimous
choice for the 2013 Associated Press NFL
All-Pro team Friday. It was his seventh time
as a rst-teamer, tying Hall of Famer Otto
Graham for the most by a quarterback.
The Denver star set NFL records this sea-
son with 55 touchdown passes and 5,477
yards through the air.
He was chosen on all 50 ballots from
media members who regularly cover the
NFL. Manning also was an All-Pro for
Indianapolis in 2003, 04, 05, 08 and 09
and last season made it as
a Bronco. Hes been on
the All-Pro team in both
seasons since missing
2011 after several neck
surgeries.
I think its well docu-
mented that this is the
second chapter of my
career, and didnt know
what to expect off that
injury and new team, new
players and new physical state after an
injury, said Manning, a four-time league
MVP. So I had no idea what to expect, and
Ive put a lot of time and a lot of hard work
in to it. But Ive received a lot of help along
the way from coaches and trainers and
strength coaches and teammates. So Im
very grateful.
Manning still has a ways to go to set the
record for most All-Pro appearances at any
position. Among the players ahead of him
is Hall of Fame receiver Jerry Rice with 10.
New Orleans tight end Jimmy Graham and
Indianapolis outside linebacker Robert
Mathis each drew 49 votes. Philadelphia
running back LeSean McCoy and Seattle
cornerback Richard Sherman had 48.
Minnesota kick returner Cordarrelle
Patterson was the only rookie on the squad.
Eighteen NFC players and nine from the
AFC made the team. Carolina and
Philadelphia each had three: linebacker
Luke Kuechly, center Ryan Kalil and full-
back Mike Tolbert for the Panthers; NFL
rushing leader McCoy, guard Evan Mathis
and tackle Jason Peters for the coach Chip
Kellys Eagles.
Just when Chip came here, we knew we
were going to run the ball, McCoy said.
The linemen, theyve all been healthy this
whole year. Theyve been blocking so well

and plans of how theyre going to prepare for
the weather, so its going to come down to exe-
cution on game day and whoever does that
best.
Five things to watch ahead of Sundays game:
Warm-weather team?
Quarterback Aaron Rodgers shared his trick
for playing in the bitter cold: Eat a lot of chick-
en noodle soup.
San Francisco linebacker Patrick Willis liked
that one: Chicken noodle soups pretty good,
cant argue with that. Give me a Wand that will
take care of all the warmth I need.
The 49ers took the practice eld on New
Years Day with the temperature in the mid-60s.
Sundays high in Green Bay is projected to be 8
degrees.
Captain comeback
Funny how one player can change the
Packers playoff outlook.
When that guy is Rodgers, anything is possi-
ble.
Green Bay won a third straight NFC North
title in large part because of the fourth-quarter
drive led by Rodgers last week in a 33-28 win
over the Bears. It culminated with a stunning
48-yard touchdown pass to Randall Cobb on
fourth-and-8 with 38 seconds left.
That left collarbone that kept him out for
nearly two months is ne now. Hes healthy just
in time to face a nasty defense thats ranked fth
in the league.
Stopping Boldin
Among the tall tasks for the Packers defense
will be dealing with receiver Anquan Boldin.
Green Bay got thoroughly embarrassed by
Boldin in Week 1, when the wideout had 13
catches for 208 yards and a touchdown. He n-
ished the regular season with 85 catches for
1,179 yards and seven TDs.
The 49ers also have Michael Crabtree back
after the receiver missed the opener with an
Achilles tendon injury.
Spy game
In two games, Colin Kaepernick has
beaten the Packers with his arm and his
legs.
Kaepernick was on the passing end of
Boldins big day in September. Ayear ago,
he had a quarterback playoff record of 181
yards rushing against the Packers out of the
read-option.
Making things tougher for the Packers is that
theyll be without linebacker Clay Matthews
(right thumb), the defender Capers would have
employed to spy on Kaepernick.
Easing Eddie
Rookie running back Eddie Lacy apparently
wont let a sprained right ankle slow him down.
Coach Mike McCarthy said his 1,100-yard
rusher looked good this week in practice. The
ankle has bothered Lacy for much of the past
month, though the bruising back keeps on bar-
reling over defenders.
It presents the 49ers with an unwelcome
dilemma: focus on Rodgers or Lacy?
Hes hard to bring down. You have to pick
and choose your poison, Whitner said. He
takes a load off Aaron Rodgers.

for me and without those guys, its not pos-
sible.
Only two members of the top teams in
each conference made the All-Pro team.
Joining Manning from the Broncos (13-3)
was guard Louis Vasquez. Joining Sherman
from the Seahawks (13-3) was safety Earl
Thomas.
It is very special, especially in a special
season, Sherman said. If youre having a
special season and your team has four wins
or ve wins, Im sure it doesnt feel as good.
But when your team is winning, your
defense is No. 1 in every category and
youre just contributing, youre not even
trying to do anything special individually,
youre just contributing to the entire group.
It really feels special. And with the chance
to do what we have a chance to do this year,
it would be fantastic.
Unlike Sherman, many of the players
chosen did not enjoy huge team success this
season: 12 of the 27 failed to make the play-
offs.
Rounding out the offense were receivers
Calvin Johnson of Detroit and Josh Gordon
of Cleveland; running back Jamaal Charles
of Kansas City; and tackle Joe Thomas of
Cleveland.
Other All-Pros on defense were ends J.J.
Watt of Houston and Robert Quinn of St.
Louis; tackles Gerald McCoy of Tampa Bay
and Ndamukong Suh of Detroit; outside line-
backer Lavonte David of Tampa Bay; inside
linebacker NaVorro Bowman of San
Francisco; cornerback Patrick Peterson of
Arizona; and safety Eric Berry of Kansas
City.
The special teamers were Patterson, kick-
er Justin Tucker of Baltimore and punter
Johnny Hekker of St. Louis.

BAGHDAD Two Iraqi cities that were
strongholds of Sunni insurgents during the
U.S. war in the country are battlegrounds once
more after al-Qaida militants largely took
them over, fending off government forces that
have been besieging them for days.
The overrunning of the cities this week by
al-Qaidas Iraqi branch in the Sunni heartland
of western Anbar provinces is a blow to the
Shiite-led government of Prime Minister
Nouri al-Malik. His government has been
struggling to contain discontent among the
Sunni minority over Shiite political domina-
tion that has ared into increased violence
for the past year.
On Friday, al-Qaida gunmen sought to win
over the population in Fallujah, one of the
cities they swept into on Wednesday. Amili-
tant commander appeared among worship-
pers holding Friday prayers in the main city
street, proclaiming that his ghters were
there to defend Sunnis from the government,
one resident said.
We are your brothers from the Islamic
State in Iraq and Levant, militants circulat-
ing through the city in a stolen police car
proclaimed through a loudspeaker, using the
name of the al-Qaida branch. We are here to
protect you from the government. We call on
you to cooperate with us.
Government troops, backed by Sunni
tribesmen who oppose al-Qaida, have encir-
cled Fallujah for several days, and have
entered parts of the provincial capital
Ramadi, also overrun by militants. On
Friday, troops bombarded militant positions
outside Fallujah with artillery, a military
official said, speaking on condition of
anonymity as he was not authorized to
release information.
Anbar province, a vast desert area on the
borders with Syria and Jordan with an almost
entirely Sunni population was the heartland
of the Sunni insurgency that rose up against
American troops and the Iraqi government
after the 2003 U.S.-led invasion that toppled
Saddam Hussein. The insurgency was fueled
by anger over the dislodgment of their com-
munity from power during Saddams rule and
the rise of Shiites. It was then that al-Qaida
established its branch in the country.

T
he Season of Giving is an apt
name for the holidays. As the year
comes to a close and the tempera-
ture continues to drop (well, maybe not
this year in the Bay Area), giving comes in
the form of special gifts, parties or hospi-
tality. Generosity is a tradition during the
holidays, one that can be counted on to
continue year after year.
While the spirit of
giving is unchanging,
the way we express our
gratitude is not. As email
and social media contin-
ue to grow as the pri-
mary method of commu-
nication for many, the
traditional, handwritten
thank-you card is on the decline.
Many etiquette experts are appalled, and
over the last few weeks I have seen several
columns and op-eds about thank-you cards.
Aconsiderable number of experts argue that
the handwritten thank-you card tradition
must be continued, and some even labeled
younger generations as entitled and
ungrateful due to their abandonment of pen
and paper.
In a Nov. 11, 2013, letter to Dear Abby,
Elinor in Surprise, Ariz. wrote: People:

With all the talk about fact-based lms
and how accurate they should or shouldnt
be, its worth noting that some stories are
best brought to screen as simply and purely
as possible.
This is especially true with a lm like
Lone Survivor, Peter Bergs expertly ren-
dered account of a disastrous 2005 military
operation in Afghanistan. War is messy,
and politics are messy. But Berg has wisely
chosen to focus pretty squarely on the
action, and to present it as straightforward-
ly as possible.
And hes executed that approach with
admirable skill, down to using autopsy
reports to get the number of wounds a sol-
dier suffered exactly right. Lone Survivor
doesnt have nearly the sweep of a major
war lm like Spielbergs Saving Private
Ryan. But the action scenes basically,
one protracted, harrowing reght feel
as realistic as any weve seen on the screen
for some time.
That reght, for those unfamiliar with
the story (Berg also penned the screenplay,
based on the memoir by former Navy SEAL
Marcus Luttrell), took place on June 28,
2005 in the craggy mountains of
Afghanistans Kunar province. As part of
Operation Red Wings, Luttrell and three fel-
low SEALS were positioned on a hillside,
tracking a Taliban commander in the village
below, when they suddenly encountered a
few local shepherds. Their agonized deci-
sion on what to do with those shepherds,
one of them a teenager, led to a string of
events that ultimately resulted in 19

LOS ANGELES It would
be a wild exaggeration to sug-
gest that Paranormal
Activity: The Marked Ones
breathes new life into the
increasingly fumes-fueled
found-footage horror sub-
genre, but it certainly repre-
sents a shot in the arm for this
series after 2012s poorly
regarded Paranormal
Activity 4.
Functioning more as a
mythology-expanding spinoff
than a proper sequel, this fth
installment (the rst directed
by longtime series writer
Christopher Landon) smartly
switches the setting away
from airy suburbs to over-
crowded working-class apart-
ments, and introduces a win-
ning sense of humor that
almost compensates for its
relentless reliance on every
terror trope in the book.
At this point, the conven-
tions and limitations of the
found-footage horror lm are
almost as well-worn and
cliched as those of horror

American deaths.
Of course, the title, Lone Survivor, and
the fact that Luttrell is played by the
movies star (Mark Wahlberg, in a strong
and moving performance) tells you much of
whats going to happen from the get-go.
But that doesnt hurt the lms immediacy
and power. In fact, you may have a hard time
sitting still.
Berg opens with footage of real Navy
SEAL training and the extremes it reaches
some might call it unnecessary and over-
ly worshipful, but for people who dont
know a lot about the SEALS, its helpful and
effective.
Were also given a sense of the lightheart-
ed camaraderie at the military base, in
between operations, as the men joke about
wives and girlfriends back home, or com-
pete in foot races. One of the SEALS worries
about how to afford a wedding present for
his bride. The veterans engage in a little
good-natured ribbing of a new arrival
involving some silly dancing.
But all lightness disappears suddenly, and
for good. Soon, Luttrell is hunkered in the
mountains with his comrades: Michael
Murphy (Taylor Kitsch), Danny Dietz
(Emile Hirsch), and Matt Axe Axelson
(Ben Foster). All seems to be going well
until the moment they encounter the vil-
lagers; the ensuing debate is a painful one.
Do they let them go and risk certain discov-
ery? Or do they terminate the problem?
The men also touch on a heavier question:
what connection, in a deeper sense, do these
shepherds have with the enemy?
But a decision comes, and then the battle,
with the men literally falling down the
mountainside, smashing repeatedly into
rocks, their bodies gashed and broken.
Several of them ght while shot and grave-
ly wounded. One virtually sacrices himself
to call for help. A rescue effort goes cata-
strophically badly.
And then comes the amazing end to the
story: How, and with whose help, Luttrell
manages to survive to tell his tale. Though
its a matter of record, well keep the sus-
pense alive here.
At the end, we see photos of the actual
casualties of Operation Red Wings. It does
not seem gratuitous, and no further explana-
tion or exposition is given, or needed.
Again, the best thing about Bergs work
here is its simplicity.

release, is rated R by the Motion Picture

camera, stupid! has now probably been
shouted at just as many screens as Dont go
down into the basement! (Look for Tilt
your viewnder 20 degrees to the left! to
nally supplant Look out behind you!
within the present decade.)
Appropriately, the hapless heroes of The
Marked Ones never put down the camera
even as they venture into dark basements,
or struggle to start a stalled car, or split up
in the middle of a haunted mansion and
its to the credit of the lms primary cast
that these bits of genre-appropriate stupidi-
ty generate more laughs than groans.
Kicking off with a high-school gradua-
tion, The Marked Ones centers on likably
lunkheaded teenage buddies Jesse (Andrew
Jacobs) and Hector (Jorge Diaz), as well as
Jesses tag-along relative Marisol
(Gabrielle Walsh). Set in gritty Oxnard,
Calif., the lm boasts an almost entirely
Latino cast of characters a welcome ges-
ture toward a huge lmgoing demographic
that rarely gets to see itself onscreen
while smart casting and production design
help capture the avor of the environs with
only moderate deployment of cultural
stereotypes.
Seemingly possessing no greater post-
grad ambitions than milling around and
attempting Jackass stunts with their
omnipresent video camera, Jesse and Hector
harass Jesses abuela (Renee Victor), smoke
pot, play basketball, occasionally run afoul
of some local gangsters, draw penises on
one anothers faces, and generally break
each others balls for a decent chunk of the
lm. Fortunately, Jacobs and Diaz boast an
easy Beavis and Butt-head-esque chem-
istry throughout, making for pleasant com-
pany as the audience waits for the inevitable
horrors to befall them.
The rst complication comes from Jesses
elderly downstairs neighbor, Anna (Gloria
Sandoval), whose reclusive behavior is
strange enough for Hector to postulate that
maybe the bitch is a bruja. The two
attempt to spy on her by lowering a camera
down through a ventilation shaft, where
they witness Anna scrawling arcane sym-
bols on the belly of a nude younger woman.
Being teenage boys, theyre far too
intrigued by the boobs on display to fret
over the obvious occult ritual taking place,
but when Anna is subsequently murdered,
they decide to attempt some amateur late-
night sleuthing, with predictably unpleas-
ant results.
While the lm hardly plays it coy about
where this is all heading, it doesnt seem to
be in a rush to get there, and it springs a
number of smart ideas along the way.
Replacing the typical Ouija board with a
haunted Simon game is sure to provoke
howls of laughter from those in the appro-
priate age bracket, and the idea that a victim
of demonic possession would rush to
YouTube to show off his gnarly new abili-
ties and be promptly torn to shreds by
comment section trolls is sadly in keep-
ing with the times.
The haunted house set-pieces provide reli-
able doses of jolts, even if one can see the
scaffolding of each scare being built from
miles away, and director Landon has fun
with some clever camera placement here and
there. Avery meta twist ending promises to
either open up new narrative possibilities,
or else push the franchise deep into a self-
referential rabbit hole.
Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones,
a Paramount release, is rated R by the
Motion Picture Association of America for
pervasive language, some violence,
graphic nudity and some drug use. Running
time: 84 minutes.
MARKED
polite, but sincere. Taking the time to
write out your appreciation is more power-
ful and meaningful than a simple, verbal
thank you will ever be.
However, I dont think it is possible for
handwritten thank-you notes to make a
comeback as the premier polite way of
expressing appreciation. Among my peers,
Ive found that anything handwritten feels
out of place.
But, even if handwritten thank-you notes
no longer feel like the right way to express
gratitude, manners are still just as impor-
tant as theyve always been. This holiday
season, I said thank you in a couple of
different ways, and found benets in some
methods that cannot be found in handwrit-
ten notes.
In recent years, my grandparents have
preferred emails to thank-you cards because
emails allow the easy attachment of digital
photos. By sending emails instead of
cards, I am able to express my appreciation
in words and pictures. The bodies of my
emails sound a lot like what my thank-you
cards would say, and then I attach a picture
of me using or wearing the gift I received.
This is especially effective for saying
thank you for a gift card.
Emailing pictures of what I
purchased with a gift card says more than
thank you; it involves the people who
gave me the gift in the next step of the
process and prompts them to respond. I
also send emails to most family members
and all of my friends.
This holiday season, I also said thank
you via Skype for the rst time. Since my
uncle was unable to make it to San Mateo
for Christmas, my family used the webcam
software to thank him for the gifts he sent
us. While the talk started as a thank you,
it grew into a complete conversation.
While it did not replace his absence during
the day, this 20-minute conversation was
more special than a thank-you note would
have been.
I still keep some personalized stationery
for family members who are not quite as
tech-savvy. While these notes are not
interactive like emails or Skype, they still
feel good, especially when getting letters
in the mailbox is becoming less and less
frequent.
In all, what matters is that you show sin-
cerity and express thank you more than
just in spoken words. How you choose to
do so is up to you and your lifestyle. As

manners are never out of style.

Body and Machine in Early 20th-Century Art
By Andrew Dalton
LOS ANGELES The Porsche carrying
Fast & Furious star Paul Walker may have
been going 100 mph or more before it
crashed, killing both Walker and the driver,
according to a coroners report released
Friday.
Investigators found no mechanical prob-
lems with the 2005 Porsche Carrera GT or
debris or other problems on the roadway.
The street forms an approximately 1-mile
loop amid industrial office parks and is
rimmed by hills and isolated from trafc,
especially on weekends. The downed light
pole the car hit had a speed limit sign of 45
mph. The area in Santa Clarita is about 30
miles northwest of downtown Los Angeles.
Roger Rodas, Walkers friend and nan-
cial adviser, was driving the Porsche at an
unsafe speed, and witnesses interviewed by
deputies estimated it was going 100 mph or
more.
No alcohol or drugs were detected in the
system of either man on the day of the ery
one-car crash.
The Nov. 30 deaths were ruled acci-
dents and were due to combined traumatic
and thermal injuries, the report said. It
said both men were burned over 100 per-
cent of their bodies.
Rodas had fourth-degree burns on his head
and neck and severe skull fractures, the
report said.
Walker had broken bones throughout his
body including his jaw, arm, ribs and
pelvis, it said.
The car slammed into a tree and a light
pole on the drivers side then after spin-
ning, hit a second tree on Walkers side of
the car and caught re.
The report says the red Porsche was travel-
ing at an unsafe speed, approximately
100+ mph, according to a deputy who took
testimony from witnesses at the scene.
For unknown reasons, the driver lost
control of his vehicle, the report says.
The Sheriffs Department had previously
cited speed as a factor in the crash, but had
released no estimate of how fast the Porsche
was going.
Sheriffs investigators are working with
Porsche officials and the California
Highway Patrol to determine the speed more
exactly. Three data recorders survived the
crash and re and may produce information
to pinpoint the speed.
Rodas, 38, and Walker, 40, co-owned an
auto racing team. Rodas also was a profes-
sional driver who competed in 10 Pirelli
World Challenge GTS races last year.

CHICAGO Its the kind of puzzle that
might have amused Sherlock Holmes himself.
Now that copyright protections have
expired on nearly all of Sir Arthur Conan
Doyles tales about the pipe-pufng detective
in the deerstalker hat, are writers free to depict
the character in new mysteries without seek-
ing permission or paying license fees?
Afederal judge in Chicago says yes, so long
as they dont stray into territory covered in the
10 stories still protected by copyright. Not so
fast, says the Doyle estate, which is consider-
ing an appeal this month. Descendants of the
Scottish physician and author argue he contin-
ued to develop the characters of Holmes and
Dr. Watson in the later works so they should
remain off-limits until the remaining copy-
rights run out at the end of 2022.
Its a bogus argument. It means you can
reprint Conan Doyles own stories freely but
you cant make up a new story? It doesnt
make logical sense, said author Leslie
Klinger, who brought the case against the
Conan Doyle Estate Ltd. to settle the matter.
With last weeks ruling in hand, Klinger
plans to nish work on In the Company of
Sherlock Holmes, a book of original short
stories featuring characters and other ele-
ments from Conan Doyles work. He is co-
editing the book with plans to publish this
fall.
If appeals judges hold it up, the ruling could
lift the threat of legal action for the untold
scores of writers out there churning out pas-
tiches and fan ction without permission.
Most of them y under the radar. In Klingers
case, the estate demanded $5,000, he said.
Whatever decision they make will essen-
tially determine the fate of many characters,
not just Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson, but
very intricate characters such as James Bond.
... What happens as copyrights expire on Ian
Flemings original stories? said Doyle estate
attorney William Zieske.
The ruling could also weaken the value of
the Sherlock franchise to the point that major
publishers and movie producers could also
decide to move ahead with projects without
licensing deals, said Paul Supnik, a Beverly
Hills, Calif., attorney specializing in copy-
right and entertainment law who was not con-
nected with the case.
At the very least its going to affect the
bargaining power as to what the estate can do
in trying to sell it to the studio, Supnik said.
At the heart of the dispute is whether a char-
acter can be copyright protected over an
entire series of works. The Doyle estate
argues that a basic element of copyright law
allows for that if the character is highly delin-
eated, as opposed to a two-dimensional car-
toon-like character who doesnt change much
over time.
In ruling against the estate, Judge Ruben
Castillo called that a novel legal argument
that was counter to the goals of the
Copyright Act. The lawsuit was led in
Chicago because a literary agent for the Doyle
estate is based in Illinois.
Theres no question that Holmes and
Watson are highly complex characters.
Conan Doyle produced a total of four Sherlock
Holmes novels and 56 stories between 1887
and 1927.
Klinger argues that everything you really
need to know about Holmes and Watson is in
the novels and stories published before 1923
that are in the public domain in the U.S. That
includes their family backgrounds, education
and a slew of character traits: Holmes
Bohemian nature and cocaine use, erratic eat-
ing habits, his Baker Street lodgings, his
methods of reasoning, his clever use of dis-
guise, his skill in chemistry and even his
weapon of choice, a loaded hunting crop.

years ago. He said he enjoys that his
block of the street has more independ-
ent stores, as opposed to the other
parts, which are mostly chains now.
Having a mix of independent and
chain stores is better, he said. Every
dollar you spend in the community
keeps 65 cents in the community.
The store is Neapolitan themed and
focuses on a polished and casual look,
Malouf said. Items for sale include
shoes, accessories, jackets, pants and
ties from brands such as Ermenegildo
Zegna, Kiton, Loro Piana and Brunello
Cucinelli.
It matches with the Bay Area, he
said.
He took a break in between his cur-
rent business and old one to spend time
with family, he said. The new store has
been a success for him, he said, and he
travels to New York and Italy to look at
new products.
Weve seen a 10 percent increase
in sales every year, he said. The
products are all good quality and
this store is more focused on
authentic craftsmanship.
Malouf is also looking forward to
the beatication of Burlingame Avenue
through the streetscape project, which
will shut down his block of the street
starting this month.
Im excited about Burlingame
Avenue getting a remodel, said
Malouf, who lives in San Mateo. Its
a project thats been in the making for
18 years.
Malouf actually presented the idea
for the revamp to the Burlingame City
Council himself after he moved to the
Bay Area, noticing the street seemed
outdated. With the necessity of replac-
ing the sewer lateral system, the plan
nally came into place. He does worry
a bit about the projects impact on traf-
c.
I saw a wonderful little avenue, he
said. Now I see improvements that
create a feeling of a boulevard over an
avenue.
He puts in about 60 hours a week to
the job and said those interested in
entrepreneurship should embrace men-
tors. For him, living in a family of
businesspeople, he ended up learning
by osmosis while working as a young
boy during junior high school and
high school.
You have to put your heart and soul
into it, said Malouf, who is now in
his mid-50s. Its good if you want to
control your own destiny.
Will his daughters, ages 2, 8 and 11,
follow in his footsteps?
I dont want to push them toward
it, he said. Retail is good for helping
you learn to socialize though. Social
skills are important in going far in
life.
He also acknowledges his daughters
have more opportunities in the Bay
Area as opposed to Texas since theyre
exposed to more here.
The new womens boutique will be in
Burlingame, but the opening date is
still to be announced.
In addition to the clothing, shoe and
accessory sales, Sam Maloufs offers
personal shopping, alterations, home
delivery and shipping, gift packaging,
shoe repair and other services. The
1460 Burlingame Ave. store is open
10:30 a.m.-6 p.m. Monday-Saturday
and will open on Sundays once the
streetscape project is completed on the
1400 block. For more information

Farmers also are taking steps to pre-
pare for a severe reduction in water dur-
ing the summer growing season, con-
ditions that could force them to fallow
crops and sell off livestock.
Gayle Holman, spokeswoman for
the Fresno-based Westlands Water
District, the nations largest federal
irrigation district, said growers in the
San Joaquin Valley would likely fallow
hundreds of thousands of acres. They
would opt against planting row crops
while they save water for permanent
crops such as fruits and nuts.
Some already are pulling up orchards
they cant afford to irrigate.
What that means then is less of a
food supply that we pretty much take
for granted, Holman said.
As if to underscore how dry
Californias winter has been so far,
reghters were monitoring a 200-acre
blaze that started Thursday in the
Lassen National Forest in far Northern
California, an area that usually is cov-
ered with snow this time of year.
The immediate culprit is a stubborn
ridge of high atmospheric pressure
that is pushing storms north of
California, said Michelle Mead, a fore-
cast meteorologist with the National
Weather Service in Sacramento. The
ridge is expected to weaken next week,
bringing some rain and snow to
Northern California, before it builds
once again by mid-January.
The rest of the winter is projected to
bring below normal precipitation to
Southern California, while she said it
is too soon to tell whether late winter
in Northern California will be wet, dry
or average.
Also Friday, an interagency task
force held an organizational meeting
to begin planning for a possible
drought but plans to wait until late
February to see how the winter plays
out.
Randall Osterhuber, a researcher at
UC Berkeleys Central Sierra Snow
Lab near the Sierra summit, said the
snowpack there is about 35 percent of
its historic average, although hes not
panicking.
We have the bulk of the winter in
front of us, he said. Its really these
big storms that carry the year, so this
all could change in just a matter of
days.
Just three years ago, the Sierra snow-
pack was so heavy it was crushing the
roofs on mountain cabins.
Folsom Lake, east of Sacramento, is
particularly hard hit and is having the
largest effect so far on both the sur-
rounding communities and the sh that
depend on releases from its dam. The
lake is less than 20 percent of its
capacity.
Last month, the neighboring city of
Folsom took the most drastic action in
the region by requiring residents to
trim their water use by 20 percent and
restricting lawn watering to twice a
week. Unlike nearby cities, Folsom
gets all its water from the lake.
Mayor Kerri Howell said the city
might ban all outdoor landscape water-
ing, end construction permits for
swimming pools and consider building
an above-ground pipeline to a neigh-
boring water district.
Earlier this week, the U.S. Bureau of
Reclamation reduced flows from
Folsom Lake into the lower American
River despite fears that it could leave
salmon eggs high and dry. More cut-
backs are likely in the coming days as
the bureau balances the needs of
wildlife against those of farmers and
cities.
Nobody wants to see a bad salmon
season, Howell said. But at some
point, you have to make a decision
which is more important: the salmon
run or people having water in their
kitchens.

SATURDAY, JANUARY 4, 2014
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Its best to lie low
and allow someone else to take the lead. You will
discover far more about this person if you remain
passive. Dont be forthcoming about your plans, or
someone may try to beat you to the nish line.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Be honest; it will
be impossible to hide your feelings. Make your
needs clear and search for a way to sort out existing
problems. People who dont understand your values
should be regarded as acquaintances not friends.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Make a point of
mingling today. This will be a good time to network.
If you are in the right place at the right time, an
investment opportunity will arise. Stay motivated.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) Decisions may
be clouded by emotional issues. To avoid a
misunderstanding, be open about whatever is
distracting you. Face difficulties methodically so
they dont resurface later.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) A physical activity may
lead to new friendships. Someone from your past may
turn up unexpectedly. Be cautious in order to avoid
this person taking advantage of you.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Meeting up with chums
will be inspiring. Travel will stimulate you, and you may
make new friends. As long as you are conservative
with your money, investments can be made.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) Reading will lead to
valuable information. Idleness is the enemy. Make
adjustments to your home environment, but stick to a
budget. Keeping busy will help your mood.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Your ego will be bruised
if you have allowed someone to make a fool of you.
Trying to feel better through extravagance will not help.
Choose to be a passive observer today.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) A nancial endeavor
may leave you disillusioned. Dont allow loved ones to
meddle in your nances their suggestions wont pay
off. Offer advice, but dont lend money.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Now is a great time to
travel. You can learn, have fun and make new friends.
Conversations with fascinating and unique individuals
will inspire and energize you.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Professional
changes are necessary. Look into taking a new
direction or starting your own business. Others are
unlikely to be helpful, but you will find satisfaction
in doing the work yourself.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Today, you will
need to say no. Avoid projects that make you uneasy.
Employ tact when handling other peoples concerns.
Try not to get wrapped up in someone elses drama.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
John P. Sheehan, aka John Sheehan,
aka Jack Sheehan
Case Number: 124038
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, con-
tingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of: John P. Sheehan, aka
John Sheehan, aka Jack Sheehan. A Pe-
tition for Probate has been filed by Di-
ane Key in the Superior Court of Califor-
nia, County of San Mateo. The Petition
for Probate requests that Diane Key be
appointed as personal representative to
administer the estate of the decedent.
The petition requests the decedents will
and codicils, if any, be admitted to pro-
bate. The will and any codicils are avail-
able for examination in the file kept by
the court.
The petition requests authority to admin-
ister the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This au-
thority will allow the personal representa-
tive to take many actions without obtain-
ing court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the per-
sonal representative will be required to
give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to
the proposed action.) The independent
administration authority will be granted
unless an interested person files an ob-
jection to the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant the
authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: February 3, 2014 at
9:00 a.m., Dept. 28, Superior Court of
California, County of San Mateo, 400
94063.
If you object to the granting of the peti-
tion, you should appear at the hearing
and state your objections or file written
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 au-
thority may affect your rights as a cred-
itor. You may want to consult with an at-
torney knowledgeable in California law.
You may examine the file kept by the
court. If you are a person interested in
the estate, you may file with the court a
Request for Special Notice (form DE-
154) of the filing of an inventory and ap-
praisal of estate assets or of any petition
or account as provided in Probate Code
section 1250. A Request for Special No-
tice form is available from the court clerk.

Presented by Health Plan of San Mateo and The Daily Journal
community, Munsey said.
Munsey attended local coastside elemen-
tary and middle schools before moving to
Redwood City. He earned a masters degree
in public administration before joining the
Sheriffs Ofce in 1994.
Routinely, the Sheriffs Ofce rotates its
staff and Munsey will be leaving his current
position as commander of the countys
Narcotics and Vehicle Theft task forces and
stepping in as the current Lt. Lisa Williams
transfers to a position in the Sheriffs Ofce
Correctional Division.
To support the career development of its
staff, the Sheriffs Ofce assigns deputies to
various positions throughout their tenure,
said San Mateo County Sheriffs Office
spokeswoman Rebecca Rosenblatt. The law
enforcement realm is broad, and rotating
staff not only broadens a persons experi-
ence, but it allows them to translate knowl-
edge from previous positions, Rosenblatt
said.
With such a large agency, its kind of like
spreading the wealth. Its all related in
making each individual member of the
Sheriffs Office a quality resource,
Rosenblatt said.
Munsey has worked in law enforcement
for 20 years and will bring an extensive
background of experience with SWAT, nar-
cotics, gangs and sexual assault teams.
Having worked throughout the county and
with difference agencies, hes looking for-
ward to translating his background to his
new role as the coastside lieutenant,
Munsey said.
In my current position, I work with all
the municipalities in the county. So Ive
made a lot of contacts. ... Ill be able to
bring that over to the coast, Munsey said.
As a commander whos overseen special
teams, he didnt have a lot of direct contact
with the public, Munsey said. Although hes
enjoyed the various positions hes held
within the Sheriffs Ofce, he is looking
forward to taking on a different role,
Munsey said.
When the coastside lieutenant position
opened up, he interviewed with the city
manager and is happy to have been chosen
to work with city ofcials and the public,
Munsey said.
Im really looking forward to getting
over there and meeting with the stakehold-
ers nd out what their needs are and what
they need to accomplish, Munsey said.
He plans on attending City Council meet-
ings and working closely with city staff and
the public to establish goals and determine
how he can best serve the coastside, Munsey
said.
In this new capacity, Im going to be
directly working day in and day out with the
community, Munsey said. Its going to be
a nice change.

Four dead after
Cambodian police fire on protesters
PHNOM PENH, Cambodia At least four
people were killed Friday when police out-
side Cambodias capital opened re to break
up a protest by striking garment workers
demanding a doubling of the minimum wage,
police and human rights workers said.
Chuon Narin, deputy chief of the Phnom
Penh Municipal Police, said the four were
killed and about 20 others wounded in a
southern suburb of the capital after several
hundred workers blocking a road began burn-
ing tires and throwing objects at police of-
cers. Witnesses said some ofcers red AK-
47 ries into the air and that others shot at
ground level.
Workers at most of Cambodias more than
500 garment factories are on strike, demand-
ing an increase in the minimum wage to
$160 a month, double the current rate. The
government has offered $100 a month.
The local human rights group LICADHO
said in a statement that at least four civilians
were shot dead and 21 injured in what it
described as the worst state violence
against civilians to hit Cambodia in 15
years.

vive her injuries, Ferguson said.
The driver of the GMC got out of the car
carrying a yellow duffel bag and tried to run
away and ran across northbound lanes.
According to witnesses, he realized he was
above city streets and then ran back to the
center divide, Ferguson said.
Once back, someone who had pulled over
to help tried to tell the man to stay out of the
road.
The GMC driver then threw a punch at the
Good Samaritan, who ducked and the driver
missed him.
He then took off running and jumped over
the median into a southbound lane where he
was struck by a car and killed, Ferguson
said. Other vehicles also hit him.
Acar that struck him did not initially stop
at the scene, but the CHP believes the driver
did not know that a person was hit and
authorities will not be pressing charges,
Ferguson said.
By mid-afternoon, two drivers had con-
tacted the CHP about possibly being
involved in hitting the man.
Anyone who was driving in that area at
that time is asked to contact the CHP, he
said. Anyone involved is not considered a
suspect and most likely not at fault.
Ferguson said the car was stolen out of
Millbrae sometime Thursday night or early
Friday morning.
The driver also had a small-caliber rie
and a BB gun in the car that were reported
stolen overnight, Ferguson said.
The duffel bag the man had taken with him
when he ed contained what appeared to be
the mans personal belongings, Ferguson
said.
The man was also found with a drivers
license that said he was a 53-year-old man,
however witnesses have said the man
appeared to be in his late 20s or early 30s,
Ferguson said.
The CHP is investigating if the ID was
also stolen, he said.
After the fatality, all southbound lanes
were shut down and two northbound lanes
closed.
The northbound lanes opened around 7:45
a.m. and one southbound lane was opened.
All lanes reopened just before 11 a.m.,
Ferguson said.
KILLED
Around the world
By Rod McGuirk
CANBERRA, Australia An Australian
icebreaker carrying 52 passengers who were
retrieved from an icebound ship in the
Antarctic resumed its journey home on
Saturday after it was halted for a second
potential rescue operation.
The Aurora Australis had been slowly
cracking through thick ice toward open
water after a Chinese ships helicopter on
Thursday plucked the passengers from their
stranded Russian research ship and carried
them to an ice oe near the Australian ship.
But on Friday afternoon, the crew of the
Chinese icebreaker that had provided the
helicopter said they were worried about
their own ships ability to move through
the ice.
The Australian Maritime Safety
Authoritys Rescue Coordination Centre,
which oversaw the rescue, told the Aurora
on Friday afternoon to stay in the area in
case help was needed.
Under international conventions
observed by most countries, ships crews
are obliged to take part in such rescues and
the owners carry the costs.
AMSA said the Aurora was allowed on
Saturday to continue its journey despite the
Chinese ship Snow Dragon, or Xue Long in
Chinese, remaining stuck in ice.
The master of Xue Long has conrmed to
AMSAthat the ship is safe, it is not in dis-
tress and does not require assistance at this
time, AMSAsaid in a statement.
The Aurora had been put on standby as a
precaution while the Snow Dragon attempt-
ed to manoeuver through the pack ice during
optimal tidal conditions early Saturday,
AMSAsaid.
That attempt failed. The Chinese ship
remains stuck several kilometers (miles)
from the Russian icebreaker Akademik
Shokalskiy, from which the passengers
were rescued. The Russian ship has been
immobile since Christmas Eve.
The masters of both Akademik
Shokalskiy and Xue Long agree that further
assistance from Aurora Australis is no
longer required and they will be able to pro-
vide mutual support to each other, AMSA
said.
AMSAsaid the Aurora resumed its journey
to Australias Antarctic base on a resupply
mission before returning to the Australian
island state of Tasmania in mid-January
with the rescued scientists, journalists and
tourists.
