San Mateo man becomes a firefighter at 43

Richie Ruiz feels like a kid again working at San Francisco Fire Department
By Angela Swartz
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Its never too late to make a change

and San Mateos Richie Ruiz is living
proof.
Ruiz, 43, just had his first day as a
firefighter with the San Francisco Fire
Department. Before switching over to
being a firefighter, he was in the
Marine Corps after graduating high
school,
worked
at
Space
Systems/Loral as an electrical technician and ultimately became a lead in
the battery lab in Palo Alto and worked

at Delta Airlines.
When I got out of the Marines, I
started working at Delta as an aircraft
mechanic, then I started thinking of an
exit plan, he said. My brother-inlaws are Menlo Park firefighters. I was
seeing what they were doing and what
the fire service is all about and it kind
of got me scratching my head.
Ruiz, a father of three girls aged 9,
11 and 15, graduated from Hillsdale
High School and was raised in San
Mateo. His journey to the fire depart-
ment began in the spring of 2007,

when he started going to school to
study fire science. His family was, for
the most part, excited about his career
transition.
They said, Coming into it this late
in the game, prepare for the worst, he
said. Not only was the economy bad,
but they like getting young people.
The odds were against me.
Having been in the Marines for four
years made the fire service a little bit

Trial set in camera store break-in

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
The man allegedly tied to the attempted

theft of $5 million worth of camera equipment from a San Carlos rental business by
DNA left at the scene pleaded not guilty
Friday.
After entering the plea to burglary, vandalism and grand theft charges, Tyrone
Brennan, 29, of San Francisco, scheduled a
jury trial for April 13, 2015 nearly two
years to the day that somebody broke into
Borrowlenses on the 1600 block of
Industrial Road.
The burglar entered the business by break-
ing a glass door in an

adjoining business and
then cleaning up pieces
to remain undetected. The
person then used power
tools to cut a hole
through the common
wall between the two
businesses and entered
Borrowlenses. He tried
Tyrone
cutting into a locked
Brennan
metal cage holding the
camera equipment but fled when an alarm
sounded, leaving the power tools and a
welding mask behind.
The mask had DNA but it did not result in

a hit.
The April 12, 2013, burglary went
unsolved until September 2014 when a
national crime database matched that DNA
to Brennan who was convicted of a 2013
burglary in Sonoma County and sentenced
to a rehabilitation program.
He also has another robbery conviction
which makes him a second-striker facing up
to seven years prison if convicted.
He returns to court March 17 for a pretrial
conference before jury trial.
He remains free from custody on
$100,000 bail.

Hillsborough, dead deer found
A mountain lion was spotted in
Hillsborough early Friday morning and a
dead deer apparently killed by the big cat
was later found in the area, San Mateo
County emergency officials said.
A resident in the 500 block of El Cerrito
Avenue spotted an animal in a tree around 1
a.m. Dec. 26 that they believed to be a

mountain lion.
The
incident
was
reported to
Hillsborough police at about 8:30 a.m.
Officers responded and found a dead deer on
the residents property with injuries consistent with a predator attack, county officials said.
County animal control and state Fish and
Wildlife officials were also notified of the
case.
Mountain lions target deer as prey and
authorities encourage residents to deerproof their properties by avoiding plants
that deer like to eat. Residents can also
trim brush on their properties and install
motion-sensitive lights to reduce hiding
places for mountain lions.

California braces for first widespread frost
SACRAMENTO California is under the influence of a
cold air mass that could bring the first widespread frost of
the winter across the Central Valley, as southern areas see
more damaging winds.
The National Weather Service said a freeze watch will be
in effect Friday night through Saturday morning in the
central and southern San Joaquin Valley because temperatures are forecast to range between 28 degrees and 32
degrees for four to six hours.
A frost advisory will be in effect for the Sacramento and
northern San Joaquin valleys, the Sacramento-San
Joaquin River Delta and the Mendocino coast.
A hard freeze warning also is in effect for interior San
Luis Obispo County valleys.
Were getting a pretty cold air mass thats dropping
down out of Canada, said Eric Kurth, a meteorologist
with the National Weather Service in Sacramento. Its
going to be the coldest weather weve seen, really, pretty
much this year.
The state capital dipped to 35 degrees in January and
February, but the latest forecast predicts temperatures will
fall to 32 degrees.
Meanwhile, high pressure in the Great Basin will produce gusty north and northeast winds in Southern
California, where days of strong gusts have toppled trees
and triggered power outages.
Kurth said its a good time for residents to cover their
plants or move them indoors.

State gears up for migrant drivers licenses

By Amy Taxin
LOS ANGELES While tens of

thousands of immigrants living in the
country illegally are gearing up to
apply for a long-sought drivers
license in California starting Jan. 2,
others are being urged to think twice.
Immigrant advocates say the vast
majority should be able to get licensed
without trouble but they want anyone
who previously obtained a drivers
license under a false name or someone
elses Social Security number to speak
first with a lawyer, fearing a new application could trigger a fraud investigation.
The same applies to immigrants
with a prior deportation order or criminal record because federal immigration

officials and law enforcement can
access Department of Motor Vehicles
data during an investigation.
The advice isnt meant to frighten
immigrants from seeking licenses that
are meant to make their lives easier
especially because many already risk
getting ticketed or having their car
impounded simply by driving to work
or taking their children to school.
For the vast majority of people,
getting a license is a good decision,
said Alison Kamhi, staff attorney at
the Immigrant Legal Resource Center.
At the same time, I think it is important people are aware there is some
risk.
The nations most populous state is
preparing to start issuing drivers

licenses to immigrants in the country
illegally in a bid to make the roads
safer and ease fears for more than a million people to get behind the wheel.
Californias program eclipses the
scope and scale of those approved in
nine other states, including Nevada,
Colorado and Illinois.
The state hopes to avoid pitfalls
faced elsewhere such as long wait
times and high failure rates on the written test by hiring more staff, updating
test preparation materials and hosting
180 workshops to tell immigrants
what they must do to apply.
California is also requiring all new
license applicants to have an appointment and will take walk-in applicants
only at four newly created offices.

New York City mayor attends

wake of officer killed in ambush
By Mike Balsamo
NEW YORK Mayor Bill de Blasio,

heavily criticized by police for his handling of protests critical of them, on Friday
attended the wake of an officer shot to
death with his partner in a brazen daytime
ambush.
Hundreds of police officers, politicians
and community members attended the daylong remembrance for Officer Rafael
Ramos at the Christ Tabernacle Church.
Ramos, a 40-year-old married father of
two sons, was studying to be a pastor. His
body was carried into the church in a flagdraped casket and was displayed in full
dress uniform.
Pastor Ralph Castillo said Ramos was a

Many Democrats
optimistic on 16
presidential run
By Bill Barrow
ATLANTA Republicans
crowed in 2004 that freshly reelected President George W. Bush
had established a permanent governing majority for the GOP.
Eight years later, Democrats were
touting the enduring power of the
Obama coalition to keep their
party in the White House.
But Democrats couldnt sustain
that coalition for this years
midterm elections, leading to
Republican gains in Congress,
governorships and state legislatures nationwide.
The notion of demographics as
destiny is overblown, said
Republican pollster and media
strategist Wes Anderson. Just like
(Bush aide Karl) Rove was wrong
with that permanent majority
talk, Democrats have to remember
that the pendulum is always swinging.
So how will it swing in 2016? Is
the path to 270 electoral votes so
fixed that one side just cant win?
Will President Barack Obamas
limited popularity be a burden for
the Democratic nominee in the
next race for the White House? Or
will an increasingly diverse elec-
torate pick a Democrat for a third

consecutive presidential election
for the first time since Franklin
Roosevelt and Harry Truman won
five straight elections from 1932
to 1948?
Despite Democrats midterm
shellacking and talk of a
depressed liberal base, many in
the party still like their starting
position for 2016. Ruy Teixiera, a
Democratic demographer, points
to a group of states worth 242 electoral votes that the Democratic
presidential nominee has won in
every election since 1992. Hold
them all, and the party is just 28
votes shy of the majority needed
to win the White House next time.
Obama twice compiled at least
332 electoral votes by adding wins
in almost every competitive state.
He posted double-digit wins
among women, huge margins
among voters younger than 30 and
historically high marks among
blacks and Latinos.
As non-white voters continue to
grow as a share of the electorate, a
Democratic nominee who roughly
holds onto Obamas 2012 level of
support across all demographic
groups would win the national
popular vote by about 6 percentage points and coast to victory in
the Electoral College, Teixeira

room of the White House.
estimates.
Could a Republican win? Sure,
Teixeira said. But they have to
have a lot of different things happen.
What if the GOP is able to continue its gains among non-white
voters? Obama, after all, lost
ground in 2012 among most demographic measures, compared to his
2008 performance. Those slides
helped make him the first president since World War II to win reelection with a lower popular vote
total than he got in his initial victory.

A Death Occurs And You Have

Responsiblity Who Can Help?
By Paul Larson
MILLBRAE
Have you ever been

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

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

mer Florida governor, could make

a difference. He is a proponent of
comprehensive
immigration
reform who has the potential to
capture significantly more than
the 27 percent of the Latino vote
that Mitt Romney claimed in
2012. Meanwhile, Republicans
hope African-Americans make up a
smaller share of the electorate
with Obama no longer atop the
ballot.
Were not talking about winning those groups, but these elections are fought on the margins, so
improvements here and there can
make a difference, Anderson said.
Republicans acknowledge that
demographic shifts make it more

difficult than in years past for the
GOP nominee to depend mostly on
white voters, who cast 87 percent
of presidential ballots in 1992 and
just 72 percent in 2012.
At the same time, Democrats
have watched white voters, particularly those without a college
degree, move away from the party
during Obamas presidency and
not just in the conservative South.
Obama lost this group by about 26
points in 2012, according to exit
polls and other analyses. By this
November, his Gallup approval
rating among the group stood at
27 percent.
NATION/WORLD
ECONOMY
Continued from page 1
Stocks repeatedly set record highs
and did so again Friday, with the
Dow Jones industrial average rising
modestly to a new peak. Employers
were on pace to add nearly 3 million
jobs, the most in 15 years. Sinking
oil prices cut gasoline costs to their
lowest levels since May 2009. Auto
sales accelerated. Inflation was a historically low sub-2 percent.
The U.S. economy proved it could
thrive even as the Federal Reserve
ended its bond buying program,
which had been intended to aid
growth by holding down long-term
loan rates.
All told, the United States remained
insulated from the financial struggles
surfacing everywhere from Europe
and Latin America to China, Japan
and Russia.
So what explained the U.S. economys resilience this year?
Economists say it largely reflected
the delayed benefits of finally mending the damage from the worst downturn in nearly 80 years. Unlike past
recoveries that enjoyed comparatively swift rebounds, this one proved
agonizingly slow. It took 6 1/2 years
to regain all the jobs lost to the
recession 8.7 million far longer
than during previous recoveries.
It was a healing process from a
severe recession and the financial crisis, said Richard Moody, chief economist at Regions Financial, a bank
based in Alabama.
The healing isnt complete. Wage
growth remains lackluster and has
barely outpaced extremely low inflation. Home building has been tepid.
But worries earlier this year that the
economy might be trapped indefinitely by sluggish growth have
largely faded. Here are the economic

highlights of 2014:
HIRING BOOM
Employers added 2.65 million jobs
over the first 11 months of the year,
and the unemployment rate sank to
5.8 percent from 6.7 percent. When
the government announces the
December job data next month, the
2014 job total is expected to be just
shy of 3 million the most since
the dot-com era in 1999. Compared
with recent years, those gains have
been less concentrated in lower-paying industries such as retail, food
service and temp agencies.
Were finally entering that virtuous cycle phase of the expansion
when more jobs lead to higher
incomes, which generates more consumer spending and growth, said
Brett Ryan, an economist at Deutsche
Bank.
Though average wage growth has
been modest, the number of people
with paychecks and the ability to
spend has soared. If you exclude
the economys winter-induced 2. 1
percent annual contraction in the
first quarter of the year, annualized
growth has averaged 4.4 percent in
four of the past five quarters. Thats
far above the historic average of
roughly 3.2 percent in the decades
after World War II.
STOCKS SURGE
Stocks extended their bullish stampede of nearly six years. The Standard
& Poors 500 index climbed about 13
percent this year, hitting record
highs more than 50 times. If you
bought the index at a market bottom
in March 2009, youve basically
tripled your money. Corporate mergers helped drive this years gains,
along with major companies buying
up $400 billion-plus of their own
stock.
OIL PRICES PLUNGE

In a gift for U.S. consumers, energy
got significantly cheaper. Crude oil
prices were essentially cut in half
from this years high. The slowing
economies in Europe and Asia curbed
demand, while production remained
steady. The price decline trickled
down to gasoline pumps. Average
prices nationwide dropped to $2.32 a
gallon, down roughly a dollar from a
year ago, according to AAA. Some of
that price slowdown has hurt U.S. oil
producers, which must weigh layoffs.
But overall, cheaper oil is a positive.
Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen
noted that the falling prices resemble
a tax cut, generating savings for consumers that can be spent elsewhere to
drive economic growth.

Israel: Palestinian stabs two border police
JERUSALEM A Palestinian man on Friday stabbed and

lightly wounded two Israeli paramilitary border policemen at
the entrance to Jerusalems Old City on Friday, Israeli police
said.
The attacker stabbed an officer in the neck, and in an ensuing struggle stabbed another in the arm before fleeing, said
police spokeswoman Luba Samri. Police are searching for the
attacker.
The stabbing took place at the Lions Gate in east Jerusalem
shortly after morning prayers at the Al-Aqsa mosque compound, the third most sacred place in Islam. There has been a
wave of attacks in Jerusalem amid heightened tensions over
the compound, which is considered the holiest site in Judaism
because it is where the biblical Hebrew temples stood.
Meanwhile, an Israeli hospital in Jerusalem said it was continuing treatment for a Palestinian boy who was wounded this
week during a clash between Israeli border police and
Palestinian demonstrators in east Jerusalem.
The 5-year-old boy, Mohammed Obeid, was returning home

DUBLIN A brain-dead pregnant woman was taken off life

support Friday after a court ruled that her 18-week-old fetus
was doomed to die a case that exposed fear and confusion
among doctors over how to apply Irelands strict ban on abortion in an age of medical innovation.
The three-judge Dublin High Court said that all artificial
support for the woman should end more than three weeks after
she was declared clinically dead. Her relatives gathered at a
hospital in the Irish Midlands to bid farewell to the unidentified woman, who was in her late 20s and had two young children.
In their 29-page ruling, the judges accepted testimony from
seven doctors who said the fetus couldnt survive for the extra
two months of development needed to be delivered safely. The
doctors detailed how the womans body was becoming a lethal
environment rife with infections, fungal growths, fever and
high blood pressure.
OPINION
THE DAILY JOURNAL
A message to be heard and to heed

Marin Independent Journal
here are times when an editorial cartoon can speak volumes. On Dec. 5, we published a cartoon by Dana Summers of
the Tribune Content Agency.
Summers drew a picture of the three
wise men on their Christmas journey,
but they are stopped. As references to
ISIS, Afghanistan and U.S. race relations explode around them, one of the
biblical wise men screams, I said
Peace on Earth!
The message has become even more
poignant, if not distressing, since the
cartoon was drawn and published.
It appeared weeks before the terrorist killing of 148 school children and
staff in Peshawar, Pakistan.
Seven Taliban-linked militants
wearing vests of explosives opened
re inside a school auditorium where
students had gathered for an event.
They continued the killing spree in
classrooms and other parts of the
school.
The killing of innocent, unarmed
children has been condemned around
the world. Even other Taliban groups
have condemned the atrocity.
Then on Saturday, two New York
police ofcers were ambushed, shot
and killed, by a gunman who red into
their patrol car while the lawmen were
on patrol in Brooklyn.
The gunman, who ed and killed
himself, had vowed online to take
revenge for the death of Eric Garner,
who died from a chokehold during his
arrest in July.
A New York grand jurys decision
Other voices
not to indict ofcers involved in the
deadly arrest as well as outrage
over the police killing of a man in
Ferguson, Mo. has embroiled our
nation in violent and disruptive
protests. Those protests have fanned
the ames of controversy about race
relations, especially regarding
police.
More can be done by public dialogue and mutual respect to break
down racial barriers than by breaking
into stores or burning cars.
The frustrated wise man in the cartoon is right to scream. He doesnt
think anyone is hearing him.
This season, we are reminded that
many ears are deaf and hearts steeled
to the holidays message of Peace on
Earth. We hope and pray for a time
when Peace on Earth no longer
seems far beyond humanitys grasp.
The cartoons wise man is right to
remind the world that peace on Earth
should be a hope, goal and practice
shared by all.
Closer to home, a large number of
volunteers have contributed their time
and talent to promote peace and a
peaceful Christmas for others, regardless of race, income or religion.
Peace, compassion and tolerance
have been shared in large and small
ways both quietly and brightly.
Davis Perkins of San Rafael, for
one, is home after volunteering to
help treat Ebola patients in Liberia.
The retired reghter gave of himself
for six weeks helping save lives and
stem the spread of the disease.

He has volunteered before at other
disasters Haiti, Ethiopia and
Cambodia but called his work in
Liberia unprecedented.
Even from a far different perspective, but with the same purpose of
giving himself to others, is Scott
Weaver, who works at the Lucky store
in Larkspur.
He won ABC-TVs The Great
Christmas Light Fight with holiday
transformation of his Rohnert Park
home into a hand-built Christmas
tableau that warms the hearts of those
who have seen it.
Weaver said he got his inspiration
from his boyhood nextdoor neighbor,
Charles Dooley Stitham, who every
year turned his Adobestone Court
house in Marinwood into what
became known as The Christmas
House.
Weaver, who had helped the
Stithams put up the holiday display,
carried on the tradition when he
bought his own house.
Weavers display is bigger and
probably brighter, but like his boyhood neighbors, the display is a gift,
a gift meant to bring joy to others
and much closer to what the cartoons
wise man is screaming about.
The cartoon certainly captures a
frustration shared by many, but that
Christmas message of Peace on
Earth is heard and heeded by many,
in many ways, in large and small gestures.
This holiday is about remembering
that message and being encouraged to
further its reach and promise.

A history lesson is needed for

in the old days, before bikes were
allowed on the commuter trains,
people who boarded a commuter
train on the Peninsula and arrived at
the fourth and Townsend train station in San Francisco would then
take other forms of public transit,
including a streetcar, bus or taxi. Or,
they would just walk to work or
other destination. The cost of these
other parts of their daily commute
was paid for by the individual commuters.
Nowadays, the bike riding commuters want other people, aka taxpayers, to pay for their daily commute by taking their bikes with them
onto Caltrain commute trains. Thus,
they take up the same space as three
human commuters but only pay for
one space. They want the taxpayers

A simple solution to prevent current bike riding commuters from getting bumped from Caltrain commute

Then, the commuter can ride his rst

You cant fight

fire with fire
hen I was just a boy perhaps no more than

8 my father would often tell me the story of
two remen who were called to extinguish a
re that was engulng one of the largest buildings in a
major downtown metropolis. As the remen approached
the burning building, the trailing reman clasped a water
hose, while the reman ahead of him carried a ame
thrower. As the reghter with the ame thrower torched
the aming building, to his surprise, the ames grew
increasingly rapid, exacerbating the re. In a last ditch
effort, the other reman blasted his water hose against
the ames and successfully
extinguished the re.
The moral of that story is
blatantly obvious the logic
of ghting re with re is as
deeply awed as the eye for an
eye principle. The idea that
ones pain can only heal from
anothers pain dates so far back
into human history that it has
become an intrinsic part of
human nature and a social fabric of our society.
Jonathan Madison
Unfortunately, the failed logic
continues to repeat itself in our generation.
Memories of that story resurfaced last Saturday less
than a week before Christmas, at a very unexpected time.
As my wife and I began the long, grueling process of
unpacking in our new apartment, we decided to take a
break from the Christmas melodies and turn to our
favorite radio station playing the oldies but goodies. It
was only two days after my last law school nal exam of
the year and it was nally time to enjoy the holiday season.
The marvelous radio tunes were abruptly interrupted by
an announcement that two NYPD ofcers had been murdered. After conducting more research, I learned that a suspect had red four rounds into the heads of police ofcers
Rafael Ramos and Wenjian Liu, according to a CNN News
article. All I could think about were the families of these
two public servants. Like me, Ofcer Liu was recently
married. He is survived by his wife. Ofcer Ramos leaves
behind his wife and 13-year-old son. This tragedy is an
inconvenient reminder that nothing perpetuates violence
more than violence itself. The tragedy is also a reminder
that racism is intrinsically a part of our country.
Although the suspect who took the lives of the ofcers
had a history of mental health issues, it is indisputable
that these killings arose from anger prompted by a grand
jury's decision not to indict the police ofcer in the
Michael Brown case, as well as a separate grand jurys
decision not to indict the police ofcer in the Eric Garner
case. One thing is certain tensions between the police
and the community have signicantly increased after the
deaths of Brown and Garner.
Dr. Martin Luther King once said, Riots are the language of the unheard. Applying his sentiments to these
trying times, it is becoming increasingly clear that violence is another language of the unheard. Perhaps the
best thing we can do is to have an open ear and heart for
the sentiments and concerns of people of every race,
creed and circumstance and cherish our short lives here on
Earth with one another instead of focusing on the small
societal differences that drive us apart.
Emerald Garner, the daughter of Eric Garner, sets a ne
example for all of us. In spite of the fact that her unarmed
father was slain by New York police ofcers, she has
shown support for the two slain ofcers. I just had to
come out and let their family know that we stand with
them, and Im going to send my prayers and condolences
to all the families who are suffering through this
tragedy, she told ABC News.
In addition to Emerald Garner, the family of Michael
Brown has condemned the police killings. We reject any
kind of violence directed toward members of law enforcement. It cannot be tolerated. We must work together to
bring peace to our communities, they said in a statement, according to a CNN News article.
As we continue to celebrate the holidays and bring in
the new year, lets remember to say a prayer for the families of the slain ofcers and the families of Eric Garner
and Michael Brown. In the words of the Brown family,
lets work to bring peace to our communities. In those
efforts, I hope that more of us will refuse to follow the
failed logic of ghting re with re, but work to bring
meaningful changes to our society by peaceful means.

The modest pickup in stocks, which
gave the Dow its seventh consecutive
gain, came on a day of relatively light
trading following the holiday break for
U.S. markets.
Utilities stocks were among the
biggest gainers.
Oil prices continued to decline. That
made traders hopeful for stronger consumer spending heading into next year,
since drivers wont need to pay as much
to fill up their cars.
Holiday sales look good. The consumer is in good shape, said David
Chalupnik, head of equities at Nuveen
Asset Management. Were ending the
year strong and my guess is the market
continues to trend higher through yearend and January is probably going to
be a good month as well.

plunging oil prices and a sharp drop in
Russias currency.
Since then, investors have been
encouraged by signs of a strengthening

Investors kept an eye on oil prices,
which have been a major focus in over
the past few weeks. Benchmark U.S.
crude oil fell $1.11 to close at $54.73 a

Holiday deliveries improve but hiccups continue

NEW YORK Christmas came on time

this year for most people.
After FedEx and UPS failed to deliver
some presents in time for Christmas last
year, the two package carriers improved
their performance this holiday season.
FedEx delivered more than 99 percent of
express packages as promised on Dec. 22
and Dec. 23, according to shipment tracker
ShipMatrix. UPS delivered 99 percent of
express packages as promised on those
days.
Last year, the percentage of express
packages delivered on time those days was
in the low 90s, said Mark DAmico, a
spokesman for ShipMatrix.
The firm did not have data for Christmas
Eve deliveries as of Friday. It also does not

provide data on packages that are sent
using ground shipping, since those are not
guaranteed to be delivered within a set time
in the weeks before Christmas.
The improved performance comes after
delays by FedEx and UPS last year were
blamed on a mix of bad weather and overloaded systems, with more people shopping online. Neither company disclosed
exactly how many packages were delayed a
year ago, but said they represented a small
share of overall holiday shipments.
To avoid similar headaches this year,
FedEx and UPS invested in improving their
systems and increased the number of seasonal workers they hired.
FedEx said Friday it was proud of its
performance this season and UPS said its
operations ran smoothly, demonstrating

the value of our additional investments in
capacity and technology. Neither company provided details on how many deliveries were delayed or actually delivered this
year.
Both big shippers expected to ship the
most packages during this holiday season
than ever before. FedEx had previously
forecast it would ship 290 million packages between Black Friday and Christmas
Eve. UPS had said it expects to ship 585
million packages in December.
The record forecasts come as retailers
have been pushing back ordering deadlines
and extending free shipping offers,
increasing the pressure to get packages
delivered in time for the Christmas.
Amazon extended its free-shipping dead-
line by a day to Dec. 19. Wal-Mart, Barnes

& Noble and other retailers also said Dec.
19 was the cutoff to getting orders delivered by Christmas.
Overall, sales for the holiday shopping
season are forecast to have climbed 5.5
percent from last year, according to a preliminary forecast issued Friday by
MasterCards SpendingPulse, which is
based on aggregate sales activity on the
MasterCard payments network and estimates for other payment forms, such as
cash and check. The forecast does not provide an actual dollar figure.
The National Retail Federation, the
nations largest retail trade group, had previously said it expects sales for the season
November and December to rise 4.1
percent to $616.9 billion.
PlayStation and Xbox outages

spark debate over hacker claims
By Brandon Bailey
SAN FRANCISCO Sonys PlayStation network

remained offline Friday on the second day of an outage that
began roiling the online world just as eager video game
players were unwrapping new consoles on Christmas morning.
Microsofts Xbox Live service, which also went down
Thursday, was back online Friday although the company
reported reported problems with some functions in the afternoon.
Credit for the disruptions was claimed on Twitter by a
group of self-proclaimed hackers called Lizard Squad or
someone purporting to speak for the group. But many video
game enthusiasts and some other hacker groups quickly
condemned their actions. Even the notorious Kim Dotcom,
a New Zealand-based online entrepreneur whos been
accused of abetting Internet piracy, got into the act by offering free vouchers for his online privacy service if the Lizard
Squad would agree to restore the Xbox network.
A Lizard Squad account on Twitter appeared to credit
Dotcoms offer for the partial restoration of Xbox service
on Friday. But exactly what happened is still unclear:
Neither Sony nor Microsoft would say what disrupted their
networks. And experts say its difficult to trace the source of
attacks or confirm claims of responsibility.
Sony Online Entertainment said on its website Friday that
its Playstation network was still down, adding on Twitter:
We are working to restore full network services for all platforms thanks, as always, for your patience! A Microsoft
support site said Xbox Live was available at midday Friday,
but it reported new problems in the afternoon.

CCS cross-country of opportunity
By Terry Bernal

Lizzie Lacy simply refuses to

back down.
The Menlo School senior girls
cross-country star entered the season on a promising trajectory.
Last season as a junior, she was
a surprise top 10 finisher at
each the West Bay
Athletic League (second
place), Central Coast
Section (sixth) and CIF
State Cross Country
(sixth) finals meets.
Those
accomplishments earned her an Athlete
of the Season nod last year, and in
surpassing those achievements
this season, Lacy been named the
San Mateo Daily Journal Girls
Cross Country Runner of the Year
for the second consecutive season.
I had no idea (what I would
accomplish), even at the beginning of this season, Lacy said. I
thought this season would just be
another one like the last. I had my
doubts about being able to repeat,
doing as well as I did last year. I
ended on a high note last year and
I dont think that I thought I would
be able to manage better or exceed

it at all.
Thats precisely what she did.
Entering into her senior campaign, Lacy and Menlo head coach
Jorge Chen placed the bulls-eye
on the CCS finals. Lacy navigated
the strategy towards being in peak
condition for the Nov. 15 meet
to perfection. Not only was
her finish of 17 minutes,
22 seconds in the CCS
finals at Salinas Toro
Park good enough for
first place in the
Division IV race. Lacy
had the best girls time of
the meet, with Gunns
Gillian Meeks recording the next
best time of the day in the
Division I race with a 17:59.
The finish also stands as the
best girls time at Toro Park this
season, and the eighth in modern
history of the three-mile course
dating back to 1971.
My trajectory was incredibly
accurate thanks to my coaching
from Jorge, he really knew how to
get me to peak at the right time,
Lacy said.
Lacy didnt stop there though.

Unlikely Scots senior

trumps CCS D-I field
By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Johain Ounadjela is first and

foremost a track-and-field athlete.
When a poor finish in last seasons Central Coast Section trackand-field finals incurred his wrath,
however, Ounadjela took it out on
the cross-country circuit this season.
Now a senior at Carlmont,
Ounadjela closed out his junior
track season at the Central
Coast Section finals with a
fifth-place finish in the
1,600-meter run. It was
not the finish for which
Ounadjela had hoped.
I was really mad at
the end of the season,
Ounadjela said. It took
me awhile to get over how I
did.
What upset Ounadjela wasnt so
much where he finished, but how
he finished. Running from the
middle of the pack, he saw some
daylight to the inside of the track
around the last turn. Contrary to
the conventional unwritten rule
suggesting runners shouldnt pass
to the inside, Ounadjela went for
it. And he paid the price.
Instead of a storybook finish,
Ounadjela tripped over himself
and stumbled to an anticlimactic
close to his junior campaign with
a time of 4 minutes, 22.35 seconds, over three-and-a-half seconds off the first-place time of
Montereys James Walsh.
This track season, all I want to
do is redeem that one mistake,
Ounadjela said.
His performance this crosscountry was a good start.
Having not won a race this season, Ounadjela is an unconventional Athletes of the Season
selection. But he finished the season stronger than any runner in
the CIF State Cross Country
Division I Championships at
Fresnos Woodward Park, placing
33nd with a time of 15:50 in the
five-kilometer race. It was also the
highest overall mark from anyone representing a San
Mateo County school.
By virtue of his elite
finish among county
co mp et i t o rs ,
Ounadjela has been
selected as the San
Mateo Daily Journal
Boys
Cross-Country
Runner of the Year.
Last season, it was Ounadjelas
Carlmont teammate and now fellow senior Michael Bereket who
earned the honor. But with Bereket
injured for part of the season,
Ounadjela emerged as one of three
talented runners, along with
Bereket and Owen Lee.
The trio made strides this season
by employing team concepts such
as running in a pack and drafting
to help their overall individual
results.
The thing with cross-country,
its very team oriented as well
because not only do they score
you as a team during races, its
very crucial to run off your teammates, Ounadjela said. The time

McGill fared well against the
Buffalo Bills but now is in for the
ultimate test in the regular-season
finale when he must match up with
Peyton Manning and his deep group
of receivers on the Denver Broncos.
I think every week weve gone
against a pretty explosive receiver, McGill said. Obviously, this
week going against Peyton
Manning, it just adds a quarterback
element in that picture, so whenever youre going to play against
him, I think youre going to raise
your game up. So with him and the

will be in multitasking mode more
than usual Sunday.
The Cardinals coach plans to
scoreboard watch and follow the
St. Louis-Seattle game with keen
interest. How that game is going
might determine how he strategizes and uses his players against
the San Francisco 49ers given the
NFC West title is on the line.
While it seems most possible
that Arizona will earn the No. 5
seed, the Cardinals (11-4) need to
beat the 49ers (7-8) and have the
Rams win at Seattle to claim the
division.
Theres a little added incentive
for playoff-qualified Arizona, too.
We definitely want to win
because the franchise has never
won 12 in the regular season,
Arians said. We want to be able to
have our little piece of history
with this football team, and then
decide also to be smart for next
week.
San Franciscos Jim Harbaugh is
likely coaching his final game for
the franchise, with the sides
expected to part ways shortly after
the season ends.

Games to remember from 2014

By Paul Newberry
They kept us on the edge of our seats and brought us to our

feet.
They sent us into joyful celebration or left us in anguished
disbelief.
When we look back at 2014, these are some of the games
not to mention stock car races, tennis nals and golf rounds
well remember the most.
Iron man Bumgarner
Shockers shocked
So much for pitch counts and pampered arms. Madison

Bumgarner almost single-handedly pitched the San Francisco
Giants to their third World Series title in ve years with three
masterful performances against the upstart Kansas City
Royals. He won the opener with seven innings of one-hit ball
and pitched a four-hit shutout with 117 pitches in Game 5. But
the drawling left-hander will be remembered most for his performance in Game 7, when he threw ve innings of scoreless
relief on two days rest for a decisive 3-2 victory. The last of his
68 pitches came with the potential tying run at third, resulting
in a series-ending popup. You know what? he would say
about a half-hour later. Im a little tired now.
Wichita State had not lost since the previous years Final Four
and took a 35-0 record in its third-round game against Kentucky,
a team that had underachieved after starting the year ranked No. 1.
The game went back and forth the entire way, the margin never
more than ve points over the nal 18 1-2 minutes. The Wildcats
nally went ahead for good, 73-71, when James Young knocked
down a 3-pointer with less than 2 minutes to go. The Shockers
had a chance to win it and stay on course to be the rst unbeaten
national champion since Indiana in 1976. Fred VanVleets 3pointer bounced off the side of the rim as the horn sounded.
Kentucky 78, Wichita State 76.
T.J. Oshie was one of the last choices to the U.S. Olympic
hockey team, but he sure came up big in Sochi. Facing the
Russians and their screaming hometown crowd, including
President Vladimir Putin, Oshie scored on four out of six
chances in a shootout to give the Americans a thrilling 3-2
victory. Oshie scored in the rst round and the shootout was
still tied after three attempts by each team. At that point, under
international rules, the same shooter can be used over and over
again. The Americans kept turning to Oshie, ve times in a
row, before he put a forehand through the goalies legs for his
fourth goal in six chances.
Brazil blowout
For a soccer-mad nation hosting the World Cup for the rst
time since 1950, it was championship or bust. Oh, what a bust
it was. Brazil was blown out by Germany 7-1 in the seminals,
the biggest rout ever that far along in the tournament. The
Germans were unstoppable, scoring ve goals in the rst halfhour four of them in a seven-minute span. It was very
important to stay calm, cool and courageous in facing
Brazilian passion, said the winning coach, Joachim Loew,
whose team went to capture the title that was supposed to go to
the home team. For Brazil, there was nothing but heartache, a
nation plunging into mourning at the unimaginable result.
Wild night in Waco

In a Big 12 showdown, neither team played a lick of defense
until Marcus Mallet returned an interception 49 yards for a
touchdown with 11 1-2 minutes remaining, giving TCU a
seemingly comfortable 58-37 lead over Baylor. Turns out, no
lead was safe against Bears quarterback Bryce Petty. He led
three lightning-quick touchdown drives to tie the game, then
drove Baylor into position for Chris Callahans 28-yard eld
goal as time expired for a beyond-improbable 61-58 victory.
49ERS
Colts comeback
Speaking of comebacks, the Colts pulled off a memorable
one of their own in an AFC wild-card playoff game. Kansas
City led 38-10 early in the third quarter, but Indianapolis
scored 35 second-half points for the second-biggest rally in
NFL postseason history. Andrew Luck threw for 443 yards and
four touchdowns, shaking off three interceptions. He also
scored a touchdown on a fumble recovery. The teams combined
for 1,049 yards, a playoff record. Not enough, it turned out, for
Kansas City to end a 20-year drought since its last playoff win.
Shootout in Sochi
THE DAILY JOURNAL
Durant brings the Thunder

Memphis had a 98-93 lead in Game 2 of the NBA playoffs
with just under 20 seconds remaining. But Oklahoma City had
Kevin Durant, who came up with what might be shot of the
year a towering 3-pointer from the corner as he was tumbling out of bounds. Nothing but net. Plus, he was fouled by
Marc Gasol and knocked down the free throw to complete a
four-point play. The Thunder wound up sending the game to
overtime, but the Grizzlies bounced back from the shock of
Durants amazing shot to win handily, 111-105.
Wimbeldon classic
Novak Djokovic was on the verge of nishing off Roger
Federer in the fourth set of the Wimbledon nal. The 33-yearold Swiss star would not go that easy. With Djokovic serving
for the match at 5-3, Federer broke for the rst time all day. He
would go on to win ve straight games, forcing a decisive set
that pushed this one into classic territory. Djokovic held on
after nearly four hours of momentum shifts, winning 6-7 (7),
6-4, 7-6 (4), 5-7, 6-4 to deny Federer his record eighth title at
the All-England Club.
Winning in the gloaming

After golfs rst three majors failed to produce much
drama, the PGA Championship turned out to be a pure theater
with an All-Star cast. Rory McIlroy, Phil Mickelson, Rickie
Fowler and Henrik Stenson all held a share of the lead on the
back nine. The nal two hours were lled with eagles and
birdies, with tension and chaos. Finally, with darkness
threatening to push the nale to the next morning, McIlroy
knocked in a 10-inch putt that gave him a one-stroke victory over Mickelson. It was Boy Wonders second straight
major title and fourth overall, making him just the fourth
player in the last century to win that many before his 26th
birthday. The other three? Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus and
Bobby Jones. Not bad company.
The 49ers try to snap a four-game losing streak their

first under Harbaugh and avoid a losing record.
I think thats where everyones mind is at, quarterback
Colin Kaepernick said. We want to win this last game and
make sure, even though we cant get into the playoffs, that
we finish the season right.
Some things to watch in the regular-season finale:
Harbaughs hurrahs
Harbaugh could be out as soon as hours after games end,
or Monday. He has one season remaining on his $25 million, five-year contract, but the relationship between him
and CEO Jed York seems to have worn thin. Harbaugh has
kept his mouth shut all season through the speculation
about his future, saying this week: The high roads the only
road I know. Lets keep on that way.
Harbaugh will command plenty of interest and his alma
mater, Michigan, has reportedly already expressed such
interest. The Oakland Raiders could be another suitor.
Its very shocking to me. Jimmys done an unbelievable
job, Arians said. One bad season shouldnt deter from
what theyve built there.
Cardinals D
Arizonas aggressive, smothering defense is drawing
comparisons to one of the NFLs all-time great units, at least
from 49ers offensive coordinator Greg Roman.
Its about the closest thing that reminds me of the old
Chicago Bears defense, Roman said of the 1985 NFL
champs.
Kaepernick realizes he will have to make good decisions
under constant pressure.
They just play all-around good team football and thats
what makes it tough when you have people flying around
chasing the ball, he said.
QB switcheroo
Arians began the week planning to start rookie Logan
Thomas under center, but changed his mind and decided on
Ryan Lindley. It might not matter as long as Drew Stanton
gets healthy for the playoffs, but even that was in question
Friday as he is treated for an infection in his sprained right
knee.
Lindley has never thrown a touchdown pass in 225 career
attempts.
Weve been through this quarterback thing all season,
between Carson and then Drew, then Drew and then Ryan
and Logan playing also, Arians said earlier in the week.
Its not anything new for us.
Arizona has gone two games without a touchdown, scoring all 18 of its points on field goals.
Stopping the run, stopping Gore

Frank Gore needs 38 yards for his fourth consecutive
1,000-yard season and eighth in his 10 NFL seasons.
Hed be the 11th player in NFL history with eight 1,000yard seasons.
While this could be his last game in a San Francisco
uniform, general manager Trent Baalke told Gore this
past week the team would like to keep him around and
the feeling is mutual.
The Niners 355 yards rushing last Saturday against the
Chargers were most in franchise history and most by NFL
team since Minnesotas 378 vs. San Diego on Nov. 4,
2007.
Right now offensively theyre running the ball as
well as Ive seen them in years, Arians said. Theyre
back to doing everything successfully theyve done with
Colin and Frank.

Chiefs Smith out with lacerated spleen

KANSAS CITY, Mo. Chiefs

quarterback Alex Smith will miss
Sundays game against the San
Diego Chargers because of a lacerated spleen, he said Friday.
Chase Daniel will start in his
place with both teams seeking a
playoff spot.
Smith was likely hurt on a hit
early in the third quarter of last
weekends 20-12 road loss to the
Pittsburgh Steelers, but he didnt
feel any pain at the time. He wasnt
diagnosed until undergoing a scan
Thursday after several days of what
felt more like a stomachache than a
serious injury.
The quarterback will not
need surgery and
is expected to
fully recover,
but Smith would
miss a potential
playoff game.
If
the
Alex Smith
Chargers beat
Kansas City, they clinch a postseason berth. The Chiefs would
need to win and have Baltimore and
Houston lose to make the playoffs.
Daniel has one career start in six
NFL seasons which happened to
come against the Chargers in last
years regular-season finale. With

the Chiefs locked into the No. 5
seed, Smith rested that day. Daniel
went 21 of 30 for 200 yards with a
touchdown and no interceptions
and rushed seven times for 59 yards
in a 27-24 overtime loss that got
San Diego into the playoffs.

showered and the adrenaline wore
off. Experiencing cramping and
pressure, Smith visited the medical
staff, but he didnt exhibit the telltale signs of a lacerated spleen.
Thought it was something I
ate, he said, so he took some
antacids.
Chelsea, Man City win in EPL

LONDON Chelsea and

Manchester City enjoyed commanding victories in the English
Premier League on Friday while
Manchester United, Arsenal and
Liverpool also won on a successful day for the top teams.
John Terry and Diego Costa
scored for Chelsea, which beat
West Ham 2-0 to retain its threepoint lead over City. City scored
all of its goals in the first half in a
3-1 victory at West Bromwich
Albion played in a snowstorm.
For United, Wayne Rooney
scored twice in a 3-1 win over
RAIDERS
receivers around him, I think were
going to be ready for it.
McGill, a fourth-round pick out of
Utah, was expected to contribute as
a rookie but was slowed by a groin
injury that sidelined him for four
games in the middle of the season.
It took until the second-to-last
game of the season for McGill to
make a big contribution. He played
50 defensive snaps last week and
allowed only one catch despite
being matched up for part of the
game with talented rookie Sammy
Watkins.
When you put a young guy in a
game like that, they dont get the
reps, they dont see the pictures,
youre wondering how they are
mentally, interim coach Tony
Sparano said. It tells you that
theyre paying attention in the
meetings, it tells you that their
coaches are doing a good job with
Newcastle that tightened the 20time champions grip on third

place seven points behind City.
I was very pleased because we
dominated for 90 minutes, United
manager Louis van Gaal said. We
make progress in every game.
Southampton makes up the top
four, climbing above West Ham
thanks to a 3-1 victory at Crystal
Palace, but there are a slew of
teams vying for that fourth and
final Champions League spot.
Arsenal is only two points
behind in sixth after beating
Queens Park Rangers 2-1, with
Alexis Sanchez making up for his
saved penalty kick and teammate
Olivier Girouds red card for a headbutt with a goal and an assist at
Emirates Stadium.
them that way, but I was impressed

with what Keith did that way.
McGill said he spent the time on
the sideline trying to learn from the
veterans on the field and did his best
to keep up in the meeting rooms.
He acknowledged being a little
winded during the game last week,
but kept at it and hopes a performance like that will help prepare him
for next season when he hopes to
play much more.
Its always going to be nice to
get game reps and you just have to
build off of whatever kind of foundation you have, he said. Mine is
kind of late in the season, but those
last two games, theyre going to be
important and I just have to go in
there and try to do my job as best as
possible.
McGill is one of three young cornerbacks the Raiders will look to
build their defense around this offseason. Fellow rookie TJ Carrie, a
seventh-round pick, has gotten
ample playing time both outside and
in the slot and has allowed just one
touchdown pass against all season,
according to Pro Football Focus.
DJ Hayden, the teams first-round

pick in 2013, has shown promise
after the start of his career was
derailed by injuries that limited him
to eight games last year and forced
him to miss the first six this season.
As much as youd love to have
Carlos Rogers and Tarell Brown and
those guys out there, it gives you a
chance to see the younger players
and to see the guys that you drafted
and to see some of those things
happen and I think that the more
that these kids are playing, the
more comfortable they are out
there, Sparano said. Ive been
impressed with that group.
Notes: Pending free agent C
Stefen Wisniewski said the Raiders
made a few contract offers this season but did not meet his price so
Sundays game could be his final
with team. ... Carrie (ankle), LB
Khalil Mack (hamstring) and RT
Menelik Watson (foot, ankle) are
questionable for Sunday. ... WR
Vincent Brown (groin), WR
Denarius Moore (knee, ankle) and
Chekwa (hamstring) have been
ruled out.

Liverpool built on recent

encouraging performances by
eking out a 1-0 win at Burnley
through Raheem Sterlings second-half goal.
Tottenham and Swansea were
other teams in the top half to register wins in the first of three
rounds of league fixtures over
seven days across the holiday
period. In the other games, Stoke
beat Everton 1-0 and Hull ended a
10-game winless run by defeating
Sunderland 3-1 to climb out of the
relegation zone.

ruptured, causing dangerous bleeding.

Smith believes he was hurt when
he was hit by linebacker Jason
Worilds after releasing an incomplete deep pass to Albert Wilson
on the Chiefs first drive of the second half Sunday. Team trainer Rick
Burkholder said nothing about the
play looked out of the ordinary
live or when he later rewatched it
on video.
Smith was 15 of 23 for 125 yards
after that, leading the Chiefs to
two field goals.
Smith has thrown for 18 touchdowns with six interceptions this
season.

Suns down Sacramento to OUNADJELA

earn fifth straight victory
By Antonio Gonzalez
SACRAMENTO Marcus Morris had 20

points and nine rebounds, Isaiah Thomas
keyed the decisive run against his former
team and the Phoenix Suns outlasted the
short-handed Sacramento Kings 115-106
on Friday night for their fifth straight win.
In his first game back in Sacramento,
Thomas led an 18-7 spurt to start the fourth
quarter that put Phoenix up by 15. The former Kings fan favorite finished with 17
points, five assists and three rebounds in
just 29 minutes.
Darren Collison scored 19 points, and
Rudy Gay added 16 points and five assists
for the Kings, who sorely missed DeMarcus
Cousins inside. The franchise center sat out
with a stomach illness.
Interim coach Tyrone Corbin said the illness
is unrelated to the viral meningitis that sidelined Cousins for 10 games previously. Either
way, Sacramento has struggled without him.
The Kings are 2-9 when Cousins hasnt
played this season.
Reggie Evans tried to make up for
Cousins absence, going for 11 points and
16 rebounds, but the lack of Cousins left the
middle open on both ends.
The Suns shot 48.9 percent, including 14 for
33 from 3-point range, pushing the pace and
creating all kinds of space. Sacramento shot
44.1 percent and 7 of 29 from beyond the arc.
The teams traded scores for the first three
quarters in what was a sloppy but fast-pace
contest most of the way.
Thomas received a moderate round of
applause when he checked in during the first
quarter, though he didnt do much at the
start. Thomas, selected by Sacramento with
the 60th and final pick of the 2011 draft,
went to Phoenix in a sign-and-trade deal
over the summer.

As he so often did in Sacramento, the
undersized guard went to work when it mattered most.
Thomas found Marcus Morris for a 3pointer and then made two layups between a
free throw to open the fourth. He added a
couple more dazzling plays and a layup that
put Phoenix up 112-97 with 5:09 to play.
Thomas scored nine of his 17 points in
the final quarter.
Eric Bledsoe added 18 points, Markieff
Morris had 17 points and Goran Dragic finished with 16 points and six assists for the
Suns.
Rondo, Nowitzki carry Mavs past Lakers,
102-98
Nowitzki becomes NBAs

eighth all-time leading scorer
DALLAS Rajon Rondo scored a seasonhigh 21 points in his fourth game with
Dallas and Dirk Nowitzki added 14 to pass
Elvin Hayes for eighth place on the NBAs
career scoring list and 10th on the combined NBA-ABA list in the Mavericks 10298 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers on
Friday night.
Rondo, traded from Boston last week,
also had eight rebounds and seven assists in
Dallas franchise-best fifth straight win
against the Lakers in the regular season.
Kobe Bryant missed his third straight
game for Los Angeles to rest his sore body.
He could return Sunday at home against
Phoenix.
Carlos Boozer scored 18 points for the
Lakers, who lost again on the second night
of a back-to-back after beating NBA-leading Golden State in the first game without
Bryant.
But with Bereket having just returned

from a knee injury that kept him out of the
two previous PAL meets, he ran in tandem
with Lee throughout the opening stretch of
the notoriously rigorous course.
Lee reaped the benefits, finishing two
seconds ahead of Ounadjela and Westmoors
Anwar Alghaithy, with second-place being
awarded to the Westmoor senior after it was
determined by electronic finish Alghaithy
crossed the finish line one-hundredth of a
second ahead of Ounadjela.
But Ounadjela topped everybody in the
pack two weeks later at the CCS
Championships at Salinas Toro Park, taking second place for the Division I bracket
in the three-mile race with a time of 15:47.
Lee took fourth place with a 15:55 and
Bereket eighth place with a 16:05.
Ounadjela almost experienced a finish to
rival his disheartening 1,600-meter finish
from the previous track season, however.
The senior finished the Toro Park course
THE DAILY JOURNAL

strong, passing Bellarmines Alex Sasser in
a dead sprint over the last 200 meters. As
Ounadjela neared the finish line, he held a
substantial lead. But as he approached the
finish, he mistook the blue tarp used to
record exact times electronically for the finish line, and stopped just short of completion.
With those in attendance hollering at him
to advance across the finish line, Ounadjela
finally did so, just two seconds in front of
Sasser to maintain his deserved secondplace standing.
Having recently given a verbal commitment to Columbia University to compete in
cross-country and track-and-field, Ounadjela
and his senior counterparts Lee and Bereket
leave behind a Carlmont program revered
throughout the years for its cross-country
dominance.
According to Ounadjela, unless some
dynamic freshmen come along next season
to reinvigorate the program, the 2014 season could mark the end of an era for the
Scots.
Carlmont has been a dynasty, Ounadjela
said. And were like the last remnants of
that.
LACY
before national meet, she decided to attend

the Division III school, where she will continue her cross-country career.
Chen said Lacy had offers from larger

Division I schools such as UCLA and
Brown, but ultimately the small
Massachusetts campus of Amherst College
will suit Lacy perfectly.
She continued to push the limits, taking

third place at the CIF State Division IV
Championships, finishing the five-kilometer course at Fresnos Woodward Park in
18:00. Then she entered the Foot Locker
Cross
Country
West
Regional
Championships, taking third place at the
five-kilometer Mt. Sac Course in 18:03.4 to
advance to nationals.
At the Foot Locker National Finals Dec.
13 at San Diegos Balboa Park, Lacy finished her high school career in style, running full-tilt as she has all season to emerge
as the 10th place finisher in 18:01.
There have been times where Jorge has
told me that I possibly should hold back and
probably should not give it my all, Lacy
said. But honestly, other than one or two
invitationals I dont think I held back at
all this season for any of the races.
Competing in the national championships nearly didnt happen for Lacy
though. On the week heading into regionals, Lacy said she was debating retaking the
SATs as her application to her dream school
at Amherst College was still pending. Just
days before the regional meet, however, she
was told her SAT scores were ample to qualify for admission. And on Dec. 12, the day
Its typical Lizzie, Chen said. Thats

just her personality. She looked at a more
intimate school like Amherst, went on a
visit and fell in love with it.
In four years at Menlo, Lacy has grown
from a wide-eyed freshman that had no idea
she was even a fast runner to posting one of
the great cross-country careers in school
history. She didnt even qualify for CCS
finals that freshman season, but by her
sophomore year she advanced to state finals
before her breakout season as a junior last
year.
Now, Lacy is looking to continue the trajectory at the next level.
Obviously I hope to continue this amazing opportunity I had this year, she said. I
had not really even thought about running
or being an influential force in running until
this year, so Im hoping I can continue the
path Im on. Im hoping to continue to
make an impact for my college team.

Many holidays,
but one theme
By Dominic Gialdini
he last month of the year sees

aplethora of holiday celebrations
that do not cease until the onset of
January. Each has its radically distinct
practices and principles but, when taken as
a whole, the overarching thematic elements
of all of them are strikingly similar.
Most of us are wellacquainted with
Hanukkah, Christmas
and New Years Eve,
when believers and celebrants commemorate a
miracle, the birth of a
savior or the opportunity
for a brighter future.
Many non-mainstream
holidays also occur during this timeframe.
Kwanzaa, the most known of the obscure
holidays, was created in 1966 in America
by Maulana Karenga, who wanted to promote Pan-Africanism. Originally intended
to be an alternative to Christmas, Kwanzaa
is celebrated fromDec. 26to New Years
Day. Each night, candles on the kinara are
lit to represent the seven principles of
Kwanzaa.
Another relatively unpracticed festivity
that comes with the holiday season in the
ever endearing Festivus, which was popularized by a 1997 episode of Seinfeld. In
reality, the holiday was thought up by the
father ofscriptwriter Dan OKeef.
Festivus was first celebrated in February
of 1966 making it an older tradition
than Kwanzaa and was later moved to is
permanent Dec. 23 date. Its iconic symbol
is the Festivus Pole, an unadorned metal
pole that echoes the call for a non-commercialized holiday.
For millennia, the time around the end of
December has held significance. The culmination of the the shortest day of the year
and the winter solstice (in the Northern
Hemisphere) was celebrated by the Pagans
who associated it with the death and rebirth
of the sun and various gods in their culture.
It would only make sense that December
would be a significant time for modern
society as well. With cold, short winter

True story eye-poppingly told in Burtons Big Eyes

By Jocelyn Noveck
Youve likely seen the images, even if

you have no idea who painted them: Those
waifs with the huge, saucer-like eyes,
appearing in oil paintings, posters, postcards, refrigerator magnets.
Actually, for years, nobody actually knew
who painted them.
Thats because Walter Keane, a showboating sociopath, claimed credit, when it was
his wife, Margaret, who actually was the
sole artist, closeted away in a home studio
filled with turpentine fumes. It was an epic

Its interesting that in this season packed

with movies based on real-life stories about
genius and bravery, we have, in the same
week, two high-profile films about
painters. Yet the stories they tell could hardly be more different. Whereas Mike Leighs
Mr. Turner portrays an acclaimed genius,
the prolific British landscape painter
J.M.W. Turner, Tim Burtons Big Eyes,
about the Keanes, depicts a type of art that
was decidedly middlebrow.
Its a different sort of art than were used
to seeing in movies: art as mass commerce.
Art you can buy for a dollar. And art thats

Dont bet on this oddly lifeless Gambler remake

By Jocelyn Noveck
If youre not a genius, dont

bother, the English professor
played by Mark Walhberg in The
Gambler blithely tells his students. That should be one clue that
youre not gonna like this guy.
But theres a bigger problem
with that line, because it inadvertently makes us think: If youre
not doing a genius remake of an
old movie, why bother? Director
Rupert Wyatts new version of the
1974 drama that starred James
Caan as a self-destructive gambler
lacks the bite and heft of the first.
It also largely wastes an excellent
cast.
At the center is Wahlberg, a talented and appealing actor who is
either miscast or misguided here.
As Jim Bennett, a professor with a
dangerous addiction to gambling,
hes cool, slick, handsome and
thats pretty much it. We never
once understand the three most
important things about him: why
hes drawn to teaching, why hes
drawn to gambling, and why hes
so pitifully prone to self-destruction.
Moreover, we dont understand
why people keep giving this infuriating character another chance like his mother (an excellent
Jessica Lange), a woman whose
pursed lips, icy veneer and dark
glasses hide a heart than still cares
for this wayward son.
Or like Amy (Brie Larson), the
thoughtful student in Jims class,
who watches him leap through the
lecture hall like a swaggering talk
show host, telling students
In The Gambler, Mark Walhberg plays Jim Bennett, a professor with a dangerous addiction to gambling, hes cool,
slick, handsome and thats pretty much it.
theyll never amount to anything
except her. Amy, he says, is the
only one with enough talent to
write. Somehow she accepts this
claptrap (which frankly borders
on teacher misconduct, though we
digress) and decides Jims a catch.
We first meet Jim as his grandfather, a wealthy banking magnate,
is on his deathbed. The old man
informs Jim he wont be leaving
him a dime. Hes on his own.

Next thing we see, Jims at a
high-end gambling den in a mansion overlooking the Pacific
(Wyatt and screenwriter William
Monahan have moved the setting
to Los Angeles from the New York)
where Amy works as a waitress.
Its clear that Jim doesnt know
when to stop. At blackjack, hell
win, and win again, and then bet it
all until he loses.

Soon hes in debt to the tune of a
couple hundred grand to the owner,
Mister Lee (Alvin Ing.) Sinking
deeper into the quicksand, he
accepts $50, 000 from another
loan shark, Neville (Michael
Kenneth Williams of The Wire,
highly entertaining). Now he
owes two people.
Its up to Mom to bail out her
son, and she tries, albeit reluctantly. Jim isnt even grateful. With
poor Amy watching (this is indeed
a thankless role, both for Amy and
for Larson) Jim loses it all again.
Seems he doesnt like being
helped.
As Amy says: Youre one of
those guys who started out with no
problems at all, and now you have
all of them.
The movies other good lines
pretty much all go to John
Goodman, who livens up the proceedings each time he appears.
Goodman plays Frank, another
loan shark, this one an amateur
philosopher. One moment hes a
genial adviser, giving a perfectly
rational explanation of how owning a home and saving a little
money will protect anyone
against lifes ups and downs. At
another, hes scary as hell, telling
Jim that if he borrows and doesnt
pay back, Frank will methodically
erase his entire bloodline.
Somehow, Jim will have to figure out how to save himself, and
itll be more complicated than
borrowing from Peter to play Paul.
The ending a departure from the
original, again is satisfyingly
creative and suspenseful.
By then, though, it feels too
late. We didnt really care enough
about Jim to be invested in his
ultimate fate. They sorta lost us at
hello.
The Gambler, a Paramount
Pictures release, is rated R by the
Motion Picture Association of
America for language throughout, and for some sexuality/nudity. Running time: 111 minutes.

focused realism. Selma captures a movement, from the grassroots to the White

Selma would pair well with Steven

that enabled the world to change.

extends his hand only to clock King in the

jaw. This place, says one of Kings
cohorts, is perfect.
This is the Deep South after 1964s landmark Civil Rights Act, but when poll
taxes, vouchers and the like kept black
people away from the ballot box. In an
early scene, an elderly hospice nurse
named Annie Lee Cooper (Oprah Winfrey)
tries to register to vote, only be to be
warned of startin a fuss. Shes told to
name Alabamas 67 judges.
Kings group arrives in Selma having
just waged an unsuccessful campaign in
Albany, Georgia, where the police avoided
the kind of confrontations that would draw
headlines. The toxic discrimination of
Selma, though, offers King the drama he
requires to elevate the cause to front pages.

Selma Sheriff Jim Clark (Stan Houston)
and Alabama Governor George Wallace (an
excellent Tim Roth) supply the racist brutality that plays right into Kings mission.
A central theater of Selma isnt just the
Edmund Pettus Bridge, where marchers were
brutally beaten by baton-wielding police its in the White House. King strategy is
trying to pressure President Lyndon
Johnson into acting on voting restrictions. LBJ, played with appropriate Texan
cajoling by Tom Wilkinson, wants to
focus on poverty with his Great Society.
(White House tapes suggest a more collaborative LBJ than shown in the film.)
Its the political front of a battle gather-
ing in Selma, where activists debate, plot

and rally support. Theres argument over
tactics: Compromise is an essential part of
the movement seen in Selma.
Throughout, the film is charted by FBI
field reports that tracked Kings activities.
(Dylan Backer plays J. Edgar Hoover,
sneering that hell dismantle Kings
family.) The subtitles are a constant, ominous reminder of the movements sizable
foes and the nations sometimes shameful
allegiances.
King is seen both intimately with his
wife Coretta (Carmen Ejogo) and publicly
from the pulpit, where Oyelows King is
fullest. Hes not a savior, but a wise man
exercising the reaches of his power to the
best of his ability.
The main drawback comes with the calibration of the two lead performances. As
Margaret, Amy Adams gives a sensitive,
wide-eyed (no pun intended) portrayal of a
woman with low self-esteem, driven primarily by the desire to protect and support her
daughter. Its a necessarily restrained performance, and Adams, as usual, is extremely
moving.
Waltz is suitably creepy as Walter. But
consistently, and too early, he takes the performance over the top, to the point where it
seems like hes appearing in a different,
much zanier movie. It gets exhausting.
We meet Margaret in 1958 just as shes left
her (unseen) first husband, and is heading
with her daughter to San Franciscos culturally exciting North Beach. (Burton makes
North Beach look so eye-poppingly gorgeous, we want to head over there right
now.)
Sketching children at a street fair for pennies, she meets Walter, a flirtatious sort who
intoxicates her with stories of studying art
in Paris. In a flash, theyre married.
Their work he seems to specialize in
generic Parisian street scenes is ignored
by snooty gallery owners (Jason
Schwartzman is amusing as one of them),
but Walter hits on the idea of renting walls at
a nightclub. There, Margarets waifs strike a
chord with customers on their way to the
john. Shes made the mistake of signing

them only Keane. Walter convinces her
that nobody will buy lady art. And so, he
becomes the artist.
While Margaret slaves away, Walter markets the works aggressively, earning the
disdain of establishment types like New
York Times art critic John Canaday (a deliciously icy Terence Stamp.) As the stakes
rise, Walter becomes increasingly abusive,
and after a harrowing encounter, Margaret
escapes to Hawaii with her daughter.
There, she is finally inspired to come
clean, telling a radio show in 1970 that
shes the true artist. He responds that shes
crazy.

birth to the Yule log).
So what do a bunch of Atheists,
Christians, Jews, Pagans, Pan-Africans,
Seinfeld fanatics and any other types of
people imaginable have in common?
Its almost comical that many of us fail
to realize that, through different mediums,
the same message has been consistently
conveyed.
In the darkest time of the year, everyone
is searching for and creating light.
Although it is fostered by different origins in each of the holidays, the be all
and end all is that people are searching for
a source of hope, an opportunity for a better future and an inspiration that motivates them to persevere.
Even Festivus shares in this! Despite its
void of visual representation of light or
hope, some of the holidays practices are
adequate in conveying its point. With a
little imagination, the traditionalAiring
of Grievances, in which everyone shares
all the disappointments everyone else has
brought to them, serves to inspire people
to better themselves so as not to be quite
as disappointing in future years.
Perhaps a better Festivus example would
be the Festivus Miracle, which is mani-
fested by ordinary and anything but spectacular events during Festivus. By cheekily seeing the wonder of the ordinary, the
holiday spirit is perpetuated.
Whether ones holiday season is spiritual or secular, there is a celebration for
everyone that can remind them that, even
in the darkest times, there is always light
to be found.

Unbroken is beautiful, but impersonal

By Lindsey Bahr
Unbroken is a story about Louis

Zamperini that seems to have little interest in Louis Zamperini. The film painstakingly details his harrowing wartime experience and every brutal assault against his
person. But dont expect to walk away
with a deep understanding of the Olympic
athlete who survived not only 47 days in a
raft in the middle of the Pacific but also
two years as a POW in a Japanese detention camp. Unbroken floats on the surface.
And its fine. Unbroken isnt a bad
movie; its just safe to a fault.
Director Angelina Jolie has made a beautiful film based on Laura Hillenbrands
best-selling book. Her respect for
Zamperinis story is evident from the
start. By the end, though, the gaze turns
reverential and distant as his experiences
become more foreign and obscured.
Unbroken kicks off with a bang. A
gorgeous air battle places the audience in
the middle of World War II, not caring to
introduce you to the boys in the B-24
bomber. In fact, Jack OConnell is such a
newcomer and looks so different in this
film with his distractingly jet black hair
that the first few minutes are a little disorienting as you try to figure out just who
is the star of the movie. Thats a strange
handicap when you cast an unknown.
From there, the film fades in and out of
flashbacks to Zamperinis Torrance,
California, childhood and his unlikely
ascent to athletic greatness. There, in
Godfather sepia, we see a very young
Zamperini smoking, drinking, looking up
girls skirts and not paying attention at
church. But his brother pushes him to
focus, and soon enough, his family realizes theyve got a star on their hands.
Zamperini, before enlisting in the Air
Force to fight in the

war, was a track star who
ran
in
the
1936
Olympics in Berlin.
Though fairly straightforward, his racing
scenes are among the
most exciting of the
movie. Hes a guy who
Angelina Jolie saves his best for the
final moments. Its
immediate and thrilling.
The wartime present, however, has the
feel of a lengthy montage, especially
when Zamperini and his fellow mates are
stranded after their plane crashes in the
Pacific. He and two crewmates survived on
a raft at sea for 47 days, only to be captured by the Japanese and put into a brutal
prisoner-of-war camp.
Early on in the first ordeal, we get a
glimpse of Zamperinis selfless leadership
as he tries to calm a panicked peer and tend
to a wounded other, but its fleeting.
Then it becomes a series of moments flashes of misery on a boat as we peek in
on the men in various stages of decay. It
strips the experience of any arc or thrill.
Jolie even plops us down in the middle of
a violent storm. This should be electrifying to watch and experience along with
Zamperini. Instead, she shows him bobbing up and down in the black waves,
making a plea with God to get him out
alive. For such a high stakes scene, its
oddly lifeless.
Theres also a missed opportunity for an
emotional gut punch when Zamperini is
separated from his friend. It seems like
Jolie was possibly aiming for subtlety
here. Instead, we just feel robbed.
When he gets to the POW camp, were
introduced to a sadistic prison guard
(played by Japanese rock star Miyavi)
whose sole purpose seems to be to beat
Zamperini at every possible moment. But
again, without any inquiry into what

inspired Zamperini to endure, the endless
brutality falls flat.
OConnells performance is strong and
steadfast with moments of greatness and
deep vulnerability, but it fails to inspire
an emotional response from the audience.
Jolie hasnt done a disservice to
Zamperinis life, but its hard to know
what she was trying to tell. Its
Zamperinis story in fact and circumstance, but somehow, he feels like an

enigma.
Unbroken, a Universal release, is
rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture
Association of America for war violence
including intense sequences of brutality,
and for brief language. Running time:
137 minutes. Two and a half stars out of
four.

RETURNS
provide store credit. But its not
always easy.
A recent National Retail Federation
survey of 60 merchant loss-prevention executives estimated that fraud
related to returned items this holiday
season will cost the industry $3.8 billion. Thats one reason many retailers
are increasingly asking for identification and restricting how long a customer has to return an item, among
other measures.
Likely to end up on the gift return
queue in a few days? Here are five tips
to consider before you head over to
the mall or attempt to swap out that
unwanted item purchased online:
1. KEEP GIFTS
IN GOOD CONDITION
Retailers will resist taking back a
purchase thats not in good condition
or in the original packaging.
Whether its clothing or consumer
electronics, make sure the item is free
of wear, and that you have all of the
parts.
The biggest problem is when you
dont have accessories like a remote
control or a battery, said Mike Abt,
co-president of Glenview, Illinoisbased Abt Electronics, one of the
largest independent retailers of electronics and appliances in the country.
But what if you lost part of an item
and want to return it? Try offering to
pay for the lost accessory. Thatll
make it more likely that the merchant
will take the item back and issue you a
refund or credit, Abt said.
And dont think a retailer wont
open the box and take an inventory of
the parts. Abt notes hes had cus-
RUIZ
easier for Ruiz, he said. Balancing
working, going to school and being a
dad was a challenge though, he said.
The biggest challenge for me was
trying to maintain the household
while being away from the academy,
he said. It was hard because I had to
work full time. Trying to balance family life with work life was a lot.
The first day on the job this week
was nerve racking for Ruiz, who
WEEKEND JOURNAL
tomers bring back a box that looks
like a recent purchase, but the contents were different.
One time we found a bottle of
Windex and a tomato soup can, he
said.
2. DONT STRESS THE RECEIPT

Having a gift receipt handy in case
its needed for a return is ideal. But
dont worry if youve misplaced it.
Odds are your ID will do. Nearly 71
percent of retailers now require customers who are returning an item
without a receipt to show identification, according to the NRF.
Target requires a receipt for all
returns and exchanges, but in most
cases, within 90 days, it can verify
purchases made using credit, debit
cards and other electronic payment
methods.
If youre being met with resistance,
ask to speak with a manager. Often
pleading your case to a store manager
in person will be enough.
Most retailers will comply with
wishes to return merchandise, Abt
said.
3. HEED RETURN DEADLINES

Be aware of how much time you
have. Its not uncommon for certain
items, like cameras and other electronics, to have a limit of 15 days for
refunds or exchanges.
Thats partly because some consumers will buy some items, like a
GoPro camera or a TV, for a one-time
use. Then they will attempt to return
it for a refund. The practice is known
as wardrobing, which alludes to a
similar scenario: When someone buys
clothing to wear for one night and
then returns the item in exchange for
a refund.
Retailers cant afford to be too
lenient with certain products, said
Kathy Grannis, a spokeswoman for
attended the 17-week San Francisco
Fire Department Fire Academy program where he received hands-on firefighter training.
Not knowing what to expect, what
calls will we get, he said. Also mixed
with excitement. It was a mixed bag of
emotions.
It was more than just the studies that
Ruiz came to enjoy.
Helping people thats what
intrigued me the most, he said. I
went in thinking, This is a cool job,
go fight fires. It ended up being more
than that it was about helping people at their worst.
When he attended Fire Academy at
the National Retail Federation.

Check the stores policy online or
the gift receipt for details on when the
return window closes.
4. SELL THAT
UNWANTED GIFT CARD
Got a Starbucks gift card? Not a big
coffee drinker?
Several websites will pay for your
gift card in cash. Theres a catch,
though: Youll receive less than the
face value of the card.
During
a
recent
look
at
Giftcardexchangeday.com, a $25 gift
card for Starbucks brought up cash
offers from companies such as
GiftCards. com, Cardpool. com and
eBay, among others. The offers
ranged from $17.25 to $18. At best,
thats a 28 percent fee to wring some
of that coffee credit into cash.
5. ONLINE
PURCHASE? GO TO THE STORE
If you received a gift that was purchased online, the return process typically means mailing back the item
and waiting for a response, whether
its to give you a credit, cash or a
replacement item.
For presents bought online, but
through a merchant with a brick-andmortar store nearby, skip the shipping and take the item to the store.
Most will accept items that were originally delivered by mail.
Wal-Mart, for example, will let
shoppers return items bought on the
company website or at one of the
retailers big-box stores to its smaller, neighborhood markets, said Sarah
McKinney, a Wal-Mart spokeswoman.
If you dont have a receipt, if its
under $25, well give you the cash,
she said. Over $25, you get it back
on the Wal-Mart gift card.

were a lot younger than him, but he felt
welcome and kind of blended in well
with them, he said. They seemed to
appreciate his life experience.
I have no regrets, he said. Im a
kid again! I feel like Im 20.
Its not smart to just jump into a big
life transition, he said.
I had a game plan and didnt deviate
from that plan, he said. Youve got
to do what you want, but if youre having doubts then dont bother.

ANSWERS
SATURDAY, DECEMBER 27, 2014

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You will get a
great deal of satisfaction if you help a cause you
believe in. Sharing your time and skills will bring you
fulfillment and pleasure.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) A change in status
is apparent. If you are receptive to new ideas, you will
come out ahead of the game. An act of jealousy may
cause you to rethink a current relationship.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Simplicity is key. Dont
rock the boat if a friend or partner insists on being in
charge. Diplomacy and tact will help you avoid trouble
and get what you want.

the stars. Take the advice of an experienced relative
regarding investments or savings plans in order to
build a strong and stable future.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Make plans to attend
a cultural or theatrical event with your partner. It may
rekindle an interest in travel or entertainment ideas
that you have not had time to pursue in the past.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Examine the motives
of someone who is pressuring you for cash. You dont
want to fall victim to a fly-by-night organization or
smooth-talking scam artist.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) A creative or artistic
outlet will give you a chance to relax. Family pressures
or work demands will wear you down. Dont feel guilty
if you decide to take some time off.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You will gain support for a
new venture. Speaking with someone from your past
will give you the incentive and insight necessary to
take your plans to the next level.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Strive to achieve
balance between your personal and professional
goals. If a new career conflicts with your personal
life, you will face an ultimatum. Dont sign a contract
until you consider the consequences.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Make plans to do
something special with someone you love. The
hectic pace of the holiday season is enough to
cause problems in most relationships. Its time
to kiss and make up.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
Sylvia Alice Arslan
Case Number: 125231
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of: Sylvia Alice Arslan, aka
Sylvia Alice Berry. A Petition for Probate
has been filed by Norman Arslan in the
Superior Court of California, County of
San Mateo. The Petition for Probate requests that Norman Arslan be appointed
as personal representative to administer
the estate of the decedent.
The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the personal 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 objection 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: January 27, 2015
at 9:00 a.m., Dept. 28, Superior Court of
California, County of San Mateo, 400
County Center, Redwood City, CA
94063. If you object to the granting of the
petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the
hearing. Your appearance may be in
person or by your attorney. If you are a
creditor or a contingent creditor 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 representative, as
defined in section 58(b) of the California
Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the
date of mailing or personal delivery to
you of a notice under section 9052 of the
California Probate Code. Other California
statutes and legal authority may affect
your rights as a creditor. You may want
to consult with an attorney 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 appraisal of estate assets
or of any petition or account as provided
in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available
from the court clerk.
