HEART WOES CAN SPIKE THIS TIME OF YEAR
By Angela Swartz
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
More details are emerging about
venture capitalist San Mateos Draper
University founder Tim Drapers plan
to split California into six smaller
states as a way to re-enfranchise and
reconnect residents up and down the
economic ladder.
I believe it will allow a governmen-
tal refresh in California and people
will be better represented here, he
wrote in an email to the Daily Journal.
Draper submitted a just more than
four-page initiative Friday to the
states attorney general in the form of
a ballot proposition proposal called
Six Californias. He says the plan has
been in the works for years and coun-
tries are allowed exibility in their
borders. There will also be crowdsourc-
ing to manage the states and each
potential state will have its own web-
site.
I know we didnt draw perfect
lines, Draper said at a press confer-
ence held yesterday to share more
information about his campaign. It
looks pretty good, too.
Once the attorney general assigns
the initiative a title and summary,
Draper has 150 days to gather enough
signatures to qualify for the November
2014 ballot. He needs about a million
signatures to get on the ballot and said
he will be putting as little of his own
money as possible into the proposal.
At the event yesterday, Draper said
the status quo isnt working.
There was a can-do spirit through-
out the state, he said. That has
changed and the infrastructure is
falling apart. Something is wrong
with the state and the existing sys-
tem.

Covered California
institutes a grace
period for signups
Health exchange struggles with heavy volume
By Tom Verdin
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO The agency
overseeing Californias health
insurance exchange offered a bit of
breathing room for consumers who
tried but failed to meet Mondays
deadline for coverage starting in
the new year, as its website and call
centers were overwhelmed by last-
minute demand.
It did not formally extend the
sign-up deadline beyond Monday,
as the Obama administration did for
the 36 states using the federal
health insurance exchange. But as
high volume threatened to under-
mine the deadline-day attempts of
thousands of
c ons ume r s ,
the agency
offered help
for people
who were try-
ing to enroll.
Execut i ve
Director Peter
Lee told
reporters that
C o v e r e d
C a l i f o r n i a
will institute
a grace peri-
od for those
who attempted to get coverage
Monday but were unable to sign up.

Local day laborers and their fam-
ilies took a break from seeking
work yesterday for lunch, goodies
and a chance to be together at a
holiday gathering held by the
Multicultural Institute.
The nonprofit institute helps
laborers prepare and nd work year
round, but Monday afternoon it
helped them nd a bit of joy with
their families.
Im grateful that theres stuff
like this going on. Because you
need a boost around [the holi-
days], said Oscar, a day laborer
who recently became involved
with the Multicultural Institute.
The lunch, held at St. Anthonys
Parish in Menlo Park, was a labor
of love by volunteers from the San
Mateo County Sheriffs Office,
San Mateo County Human
Services Agency and Samaritan
House who came to serve food,
hand out gifts and toys to dozens
of day laborers and their families.
After lunch, adults won tools,
clothes and gift cards during a raf-
e and children were greeted by a
police car jam packed with toys.

Town looks for ways
to rid town of vultures
VINTON, Va. Officials in a
Virginia town are looking for ways to
get migrating buzzards to buzz off.
This year, nearly 100 vultures landed
in the Gladetown area of Vi nt on.
Vinton police ofcers red booming
guns into the air to drive the birds
away, and most left.
Town manager Chris Lawrence tells
The Roanoke Times that more efcient
methods are being considered for the
vultures return next year.
The town could apply for a federal
permit to kill one vulture. The remains
would be hung near the other vultures.
Lawrence says the vultures would dis-
perse because they dont like to be
around their own dead.
He says vultures are loud and dirty
and tear up trees. But he says the town
tries to co-exist with nature.
Tiger fatally mauls
mate at San Diego Zoo
SAN DIEGO The San Diego Zoo
says a male tiger fatally mauled a
female mate.
The zoo said Monday that the tigers
were introduced to each other for
breeding purposes. After a good start,
the interaction turned violent and
employees were unable to separate the
two. No visitors saw the attack.
The Malayan female tiger, named
Tiga Tahun, died Saturday of neck
injuries and breathing difculties. She
was born in 2009 at the Bronx Zoo but
was owned by the Omaha Zoo.
Her attacker, Connor, was born at
the San Diego Zoo in 2011.
The zoo says large carnivores often
mix aggressive behavior with breed-
ing interactions, sometimes resulting
in injury or death.
Woman sentenced for
making phony 911 calls
LOS ANGELES A Los Angeles
woman accused of making hundreds of
phony and harassing 911 calls has
been sentenced to jail.
The city attorneys ofce says 43-
year-old Linette Young was given a
180-day sentence on Friday and
ordered to have psychological coun-
seling. Shes also barred from contact-
ing the Fire Department and from call-
ing 911 except in a real emergency.
Prosecutors said Young placed more
than 400 calls to 911 since January of
2011 sometimes six per day.
Authorities say between January and
September, she made 220 calls
requesting paramedic assistance, and
also went to a re station to ask for
aid.
Each time, she was found to have no
medical problems.
She remains jailed Monday and a
call to her public defender, Rachel
Rossi, wasnt immediately returned.
Mormon-centric Utah
epicenter for food storage
SALTLAKE CITY Towering grain
silos overlook the main highway in
Salt Lake City at the Mormon
churchs Welfare Square. At grocery
stores, theres a whole section with
large plastic tubs with labels that
read, Deluxe survivor 700. Radio
ads hawk long-term supplies of food
with 25-year shelf lives.
And houses are equipped with spe-
cial shelving for cans of beans, rice
and wheat.
Storing away enough food and water
in case of disaster, job loss or some-
thing worse is not just part of the fun-
damental teachings of The Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, its
an idea that is increasingly catching
on nationwide. And its also big busi-
ness.
A large majority of food storage
companies that do Internet sales are
based in the state. Terms once used
only by Mormons, such as 72-hour
kit, are mainstream, as is the sur-
vivalist preppers philosophy that
taps into the Mormon churchs centu-
ry-old teachings on the topic.
The wisdom behind preparing is
taught heavily in this population,
said Paul Fulton, president of Ready
Store, based in Draper, Utah, about 20
miles south of Salt Lake City.
Theyve led the way.

A28-year-old San Bruno man arrested last
week for allegedly robbing a motel clerk
with a BB gun confessed to several other

convicted. After his arrest, King reportedly
told police he spent $370 he stole from the

lation by Burlingame police. Police report-
ed that King spontaneously told the ofcer

A22-year-old South San Francisco man is
charged with gross vehicular manslaughter
and drunk driving for the deadly crash on

Man accused of
stabbing mom incompetent
The San Mateo man accused of stabbing his
mother in the chest and arm when she came to
check on him is incompe-
tent to stand trial for
attempted murder, accord-
ing to two court-appoint-
ed doctors.
The incompetency nd-
ing means John
Jacobberger, 53, will be
committed to a state hos-
pital rather than face trial
and possible incarcera-
tion on that charge and
counts of felony assault and physical elder
abuse in the Aug. 12 incident that sent his
76-year-old mother to the hospital.
Prosecutors say police found Jacobberger
standing over his wounded mother on the sec-
ond oor of his West Fourth Avenue apart-
ment complex and he reportedly told them
both I stabbed my mother, just shoot me
and Its the drugs that made me do it.
Jacobberger reportedly wounded his moth-
er after she spotted him inside his unit sur-
rounded by knives and asked him to go see
his doctor.
Jacobberger remains in custody without
bail and returns to court Jan. 31 for formal
placement at a state hospital.
Judge tells hospital
to keep treating teen
With a family ghting a hospital to keep
their daughter who has been declared brain
dead on life support, a California judge on
Monday ordered the hospital to keep treating
13-year-old Jahi McMath for another week as
a second medical evaluation is conducted.
Jahi experienced complications following
a tonsillectomy at Childrens Hospital in
Oakland.
As her family sat stone-faced in the front
row of the courtroom, an Alameda County
judge called for Jahi to be independently
examined by Paul Graham Fisher, the chief of
child neurology at Stanford University
School of Medicine.
The judge also ordered the hospital to keep
Jahi on a ventilator until Dec. 30, or until fur-
ther order from the court.
The examination was expected to occur
later on Monday, and early Tuesday.
Hospital staff and Fisher will conduct an
electroencephalogram, or EEG, and tests to
see if blood is still owing to Jahis brain.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
California regulators have refunded
$375,000 to Pacic Gas and Electric Co.
over concerns the ne payment could jeop-
ardize a potentially larger penalty against
the utility for the deadly San Bruno pipeline
explosion.
The Public Utilities Commissions safety
enforcement division sent a letter to PG&E
on Friday that withdrew the citation and
included a check for $375,000.
The safety division imposed the ne ear-
lier this month after an audit determined
that PG&E for decades lacked a procedure to
systematically monitor its gas pipelines.
Attorneys and ofcials involved in the
San Bruno case are still worried, though,
that PG&E would use the $375,000 charge
to challenge a potentially multi-billion
dollar fine for the 2010 blast. Thats
because both stem from many of the same
gas system problems.
San Bruno City Manager Connie Jackson
said there was every reason to believe
PG&E would cite the smaller ne to try to
escape a bigger penalty.
PG&E spokesman Greg Snapper declined
to comment. Harvey Morris, the lead attor-
ney for the public utilities commissions
San Bruno litigation team, also declined
comment.
The commission said in a statement on
Friday that it was returning the money to
prevent any confusion between the San
Bruno case and what led to the $375,000
ne.
PG&E is facing a potential $2.25 billion
penalty for the San Bruno blast that
includes required system upgrades and a
$300 million ne. The blast killed eight
people and destroyed 38 homes.
Investigators at the utilities commission
blamed PG&E for the explosion, which
occurred when an underground pipeline rup-
tured at the site of a decades-old faulty weld,
sparking a massive re.
PG&E has accepted liability for the disas-
ter in numerous public statements but has
denied most of state investigators allega-
tions that it violated safety rules.

Judge Robert J. Shelby overturned Utahs
ban on same-sex marriage Friday, ruling the
voter-approved measure is a violation of
gay couples constitutional rights. The
state then asked him to put a stop to the
weddings, but he rejected the request.
Shelbys ruling is far from the end of the
legal wrangling on the topic. The state
quickly led a request with the 10th U.S.
Circuit Court of Appeals to put gay mar-
riage on hold, and that court could rule as
soon as Monday evening or Tuesday. The
same court, in Denver, likely will hear the
full appeal of the case several months from
now.
In the meantime, the rush on marriage
licenses continues for gay couples around
Utah.
Nearly 700 gay couples have obtained
marriage licenses since Friday, with most
coming in the states most populous coun-
t y.
People began lining up Sunday night at
the Salt Lake County clerks ofce with the
hope of getting licenses amid the uncertain-
ty of the pending ruling. Couples then got
married once every few minutes in the
lobby to the sound of string music from a
violin duet.
They anxiously eyed their cellphones for
news on Shelbys decision, and a loud cheer
erupted once word spread that he wouldnt
be blocking weddings. We feel equal! one
man shouted; his partner called it this
magic happening out of the clear blue.
Adam Blatter said he was in a panic to get
married Monday morning before a judge
could halt the issuance of licenses. He and
his partner, Joseph Chavez, were elated
when it became clear their wait was worth-
while, and they were shocked that it was
happening in a state long known as one of
the most conservative in the country.
We expected Utah to be the last place we
could get married, Blatter said.

Caltrain construction this week
Day work will be performed from 7 a.m.-6 p.m. on the
San Bruno Grade Separation Project through Dec. 27.
This week, crews will continue work at the San Mateo,
San Bruno and Angus bridges, ramps, stairwells, walls and
elevators.
The $155 million project will elevate the Caltrain tracks
above three existing at-grade street crossings at San Bruno,
San Mateo and Angus avenues. Anew elevated Caltrain sta-
tion between San Bruno and San Mateo avenues will replace
the station at Sylvan Avenue. Work on this project will not
disrupt Caltrain service.
There will also be routine maintenance at several loca-
tions next week. To avoid disruptions to service, the work
will mainly take place between 8 p.m.-6 a.m. There will be
some construction noise but crews will work as quietly as
possible. Until Dec. 27, crews will power wash and perform
janitorial work at Caltrain stations between the San
Francisco and Tamien stations.
On Dec. 26, crews will weld and grind rail between the
Broadway and Belmont stations.
For more information call the dedicated outreach line at
508-7726 or email [email protected].
Local brief
By David Espo
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON Call it a steady diet
of gridlock, with Green Eggs and Ham
on the side.
Congress did not pass White House-
backed immigration or gun control leg-
islation in 2013. Or raise the minimum
wage. Or approve many other items on
President Barack Obamas agenda.
But tea party-inspired House
Republicans did propel the country into
a 16-day partial government shutdown
that cost the still-recovering economy
$24 billion, by one estimate.
Congress didnt repeal the health law
known as Obamacare. Or endorse
construction of the proposed Keystone
pipeline. Or make it harder for the
White House to put costly new federal
regulations in place, or accomplish
dozens of other measures on the House
Republican to-do list.
But Senate Democrats did unilaterally
arrogantly, Republicans said
change century-old procedures to weak-
en the GOPs ability to block conrma-
tion of Obamas appointees.
That, too, was part of a tempestuous
year in which lawmakers lurched from
showdown to shutdown, with time
enough for Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, to
read from the Dr. Seuss classic, Green
Eggs and Ham, as he held the oor
around the clock for a day to protest the
health law.
The American people would get bet-
ter government out of Monkey Island at
the local zoo than were giving them
today, said Democratic Rep. John
Dingell of Michigan as the government
slid into shutdown mode.
This isnt some damn game, House
Speaker John Boehner erupted in frus-
tration at the point of maximum grid-
lock.
Except that ... baseball had a better
year under the Capitol Dome than
Republicans, Democrats or Obama.
One bill that made it around the bases
to the presidents desk specied the size
of blanks to be used in stamping
National Baseball Hall of Fame memo-
rial coins. And a new bridge over the
Mississippi River was named for Stan
Musial, a baseball legend admired by
Republicans and Democrats alike.
But enough about teamwork.
Fifth-term Sen. John McCain of
Arizona referred to some of his uncom-
promising, younger fellow
Republicans as wacko birds.
One whom he had in mind, Cruz, said,
I dont trust the Republicans. I dont
trust the Democrats, and I think a whole
lot of Americans likewise dont trust the
Republicans or the Democrats because
it is leadership in both parties that has
got us into this mess.
At year end, Senate Majority Leader
Harry Reid, D-Nev., opined, Congress
is nishing this year less popular than
a cockroach.
Among Republicans, Reids standing
might not be even that good.
Reid, as soft-spoken as he is tough-
willed, is going to be remembered as
the worst leader of the Senate ever if he
insisted on changing the libuster pro-
cedures, predicted the famously taciturn
GOP leader, Mitch McConnell of
Kentucky. Reid went ahead anyway a
few months later, to the anger of
Republicans who predicted that
Democrats would one day regret their
action.
Cockroaches or not, Congress rat-
ings began the year at basement level,
then began boring into bedrock below.
In January, an Associated Press-GfK
poll put approval at 17 percent of the
country.
By November, after the partial shut-
down, a irtation with an unprecedented
U.S. Treasury default, gridlock for
months on end and insults aplenty, it
stood at 13 percent.
Enough is enough, judged Barry
Black, the Senate chaplain, nine days
into the shutdown.
Evidently not.
It went on another week.
The health care law named for Obama
was a constant theme, and a clear and
present danger, to hear Republicans say
i t .
We should not be judged on how
many new laws we create. We ought to
be judged on how many laws that we
repeal, Boehner said as Republicans
voted for the 38th and 39th time since
2011 to repeal or otherwise neuter it.
T

from local high schools and the

AUGUSTA, Maine Parts of the country
socked by a wild weekend storm will be cov-
ered with ice and without power through
Christmas and beyond thanks to a steady
diet of freezing rain and cold temperatures.
The first full day of winter, Sunday,
brought a mix including snow in the
Midwest and balmy temperatures along the
Mid-Atlantic. Rain and melting snow led to
swelling creeks and streams, closed roads
and ooded underpasses in Indiana, Ohio
and other Great Lakes states.
More than 390,000 homes and businesses
were without power Monday in Michigan,
upstate New York and northern New
England, down from Sundays peak of more
than half a million. Most were in Michigan,
whose largest utilities said itll be days
before power is restored because of the dif-
culty of working around broken lines.
In Maine, the number of customers with-
out power spiked to more than 78,000, and
the cold persisted.
Its certainly not going away, Margaret
Curtis, a meteorologist with the National
Weather Service in Gray, Maine, said
Monday. In fact, we dont have very many
areas where were expecting temperatures to
rise above freezing.
That means untreated roads and sidewalks
from the upper Midwest to northern New
England will remain a slippery, dangerous
mess as people head out for last-minute
shopping or holiday travel.

CHICAGO Anticipating heavy traffic
on the governments health care website,
the Obama administration extended
Mondays deadline for signing up for
insurance by a day, giving Americans in
36 states more time to select a plan.
It was the latest in a series of pushed-
back deadlines and delays that have
marked the rollout of the health care law.
But federal officials urged buyers not to
procrastinate.
You should not wait until tomorrow. If
you are aiming to get coverage Jan. 1, you
should try to sign up today, said Julie
Bataille, a spokeswoman for the federal
agency in charge of the overhaul.
Bataille said the grace period which
runs through Tuesday was being offered
to accommodate people from different
time zones and to allow for any technical
problems that might result from a last-
minute rush of applicants.
The HealthCare.gov site had a disas-
trous, glitch-prone debut in October but
has gone through extensive improve-
ments to make it more reliable and
increase its capacity, and the administra-
tion said the system was running well
Monday.
By the afternoon, the site had received a
record 850,000 visits, five times the num-
ber logged by the same time last Monday,
the administration said. Bataille said the
system was handling the volume with error
rates of less than 1 in 200 and response
times of less than one second.
The Obama administration is hoping for
a surge of year-end enrollments to show
that the technical problems were merely a
temporary setback. That would also go a
long way toward easing concerns that
insurance companies wont be able to sign
up enough young, healthy people to keep
prices low for everyone.

MOSCOW Mikhail Kalashnikov start-

the harvest he reaped was
one of blood as the

assault rie, the worlds
most popular rearm.
It was the carnage of
World War II, when Nazi
Germany overran much

which altered his course
and made his name as
well-known for blood-
shed as Smith, Wesson and Colt. The dis-
tinctive shape of the gun, often called a
Kalashnikov, appeared on revolutionary
ags and adorns memorabilia.
Kalashnikov died Monday at age 94 in a
hospital in Izhevsk, the capital of the
Udmurtia republic where he lived, said
Viktor Chulkov, a spokesman for the repub-
lics president. He did not give a cause of
death. Kalashnikov had been hospitalized
for the past month with unspecied health
problems.

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
you may also visit us on the internet at:

Accentuating The Positive
Can Eliminate The Negative
Were going to help people get across the
nish line, he said.
How to get there, however, is a bit fuzzy.
Lee did not commit to a date when that
grace period would end but said the agencys
goal was to have an insurance policy in place
for everyone who made a good faith effort
to get one by Mondays deadline.
Determining whether someone actually made
an attempt to get coverage would be on a
case-by-case basis, he said, but exactly how
that would be done is unclear.
We need to know you tried, he said.
Monday was the deadline to sign up for
coverage so insurance policies will be in
place by Jan. 1, and consumers have until
Jan. 6 to pay their premiums.
Covered California has had a surge in the
number of people signing up for coverage
as the deadline approached. Lee said pre-
liminary data show the number people who
had signed up for an individual health
insurance policy through Californias
state-run exchange had topped 400,000.
The previously reported figure was
109,000 by the end of November.
About two-thirds of those who have signed
up so far are eligible to receive a federal sub-
sidy that will help lower their monthly pre-
miums, while about one-third make too much
money for a subsidy, Lee said.
The need for Covered California to provide
consumers some wiggle room became evi-
dent as Monday wore on, with complaints
surfacing from people who were attempting
to sign up for an insurance plan but were
unable to do so.
Gene Nelson, an adjunct professor in the
biomedical engineering department at Cal
Poly San Luis Obispo, had been frustrated in
his attempts to apply through the website
and through Covered Californias call cen-
ters.
He faced a variety of challenges on the
website, including stalls, time-outs and mes-
sages warning of invalid user names and
passwords that left him unable to even create
an account.
When he contacted the call center for help,
a recorded message told him to sign up
through the website instead and then bounced
him off the telephone call with a series of
busy-signal beeps. He said he was not given
the option to hold on the line for an avail-
able operator.

The six new proposed states would be
called Jefferson, North California, Central
California, Silicon Valley, West California
and South California. The state, in its cur-
rent construction, is ungovernable and
unmanageable, Draper said.
With the proposal, there could be more
personalized governments based on politi-
cal, industrial and population-based needs,
like a government focused on water rights
and farming in Central California, medical
devices in South California, technology in
Silicon Valley and lm in West California,
he said.
We are the state that charges the most for
the worst service, he said. Six states
would be unencumbered by varying goals. I
know change is hard for people, but
Californias slide is unavoidable.
Draper is not alone in rethinking the
division of jurisdictions.
Recently, rural counties in Northern
California and Southern Oregon have been
pushing to create a new state called the
State of Jefferson because of frustration
with lack of representation at the state
Capitol and overregulation. Back in
September, the Siskiyou County and
Modoc Countys Board of Supervisors
voted for secession. He said theres now a
grass roots movement to want to break into
smaller states.
Drapers initiative proposes that on or
before Nov. 15, 2017, a countys voters or
Board of Supervisors may enact an ordi-
nance to become part of a contiguous state
other than the one to which it is assigned.
Within 30 days of that ordinance, a majori-
ty of the board of supervisors in the state to
which the county wants reassignment must
approve the request. The plan then goes to
the governor and, if approved at that level,
moves to Congress for passage.
Draper said he thinks there will be indif-
ference in Congress, but understands there
might be some nervousness over changing
the number of Senate votes since each state
would potentially receive two of its own
senators.
I hope the country will recognize the
momentum and want to make changes, he
said.
The website sixcalifornias.info lets visi-
tors enter an email address for notication
when the initiative has launched. Each
potential state will have its own social
media associated with it along with its web-
site.
Two Pussy Riot members
released from prison
KRASNOYARSK, Russia The last two
imprisoned members of the Russian punk
band Pussy Riot walked free Monday, criti-
cizing the amnesty measure that released
them as a publicity stunt, with one calling
for a boycott of the Winter Olympics to
protest Russias human rights record.
Maria Alekhina and Nadezhda
Tolokonnikova were granted amnesty last
week in a move largely viewed as the
Kremlins attempt to soothe criticism of
Russias human rights record before the
Sochi Games in February.
Im calling for a boycott of the Olympic
Games, Tolokonnikova said. What is
happening today releasing people just a
few months before their term expires is a
cosmetic measure.
The amnesty part of a wide measure
passed last week by the parliament and
President Vladimir Putins pardoning last
week of onetime oil tycoon and political
rival Mikhail Khodorkovsky freed some of
the most prominent convicts who were sen-
tenced in politically-tainted cases.
But it also gives them new freedom to
launch criticism of Putins Russia amid
intense attention from international news
media.

Bozo diplomacy
Editor,
Looks like bozo diplomacy does-
nt go out of style. Senators McCain
and Murphy, members of both parties
but representing no one in particular,
decided to go blundering into Ukraine
thumping their chests to show their
unequivocal backing for the minority
who desire a trade deal with the
European Union versus the Russian
Federation.
Suppose some Russian politico did
that with the Occupy folks or the tea
party? Can you imagine the hue and
cry that would go up? Ha. Now in the
South China Sea, of all people, the
Chinese are demanding a greater say
as it is the South China Sea after all.
Well as the bickering is over some
uninhabitable rocks with no water
available, I would recommend that the
Philippines, Japan, South Korea and
all the other locals (that excludes the
United States by the way), should
send a rep. This rep could sign a
meaningful agreement and stuff them
all into an under-heated and cramped
apartment with nothing to eat but
baloney sandwiches and Gatorade
(yuck) until they hammer some out
something that they can all sign on
to.
After all, ghting over territory in
the 21st century is so, well, last cen-
tury is it not?

Letter to the editor
By John Kelly
A
couple months ago, I had
the distinct privilege of
writing a guest editorial on
the topic of restorative justice for
this paper. To recap, restorative jus-
tice seeks to heal, reconcile, restore
rather than punish, retaliate, iso-
late, not only in cases of convic-
tions but whenever there is conflict
among people. Restorative justice
also strives to address community
issues that help generate division
which demand our consideration.
So much for theory. What are
some of the realities one gets into if
he espouses the cause? Well, last
weekend I spent a great deal of time
in San Quentin State Prison. I
attended my first Christmas party in
the Protestant chapel. There were
about 200 guests. Three fourths of
them were dressed in blue. The oth-
ers represented the variety of pro-
grams that come in regularly to help
the men in blue heal, reconcile,
restore. The diversity, the warmth,
the spirit I dont expect to find
anywhere else.
At the very same time in the
Catholic Chapel at least 100 people
had gathered for one of the ongoing
discussions on this very topic. It
was devised and promoted by the
men in blue, well over 100 of whom
met every Wednesday and Thursday
to discuss restorative justice and
apply it to their lives. So many of
them are committed to help young
people not repeat their mistakes.
Fittingly enough, one of the areas
for discussion was bullying in our
schools.
During the weekend, I saw three of
my good friends who are part of a
program called KID/C.A.T. ,
Creating Awareness Together. This
program was featured recently in a
front-page story in one of our local
papers. It is com-
prised of young
men sentenced to
state prison when
they were
teenagers. They
did commit a
heinous crime. The
life story of how
they came to do
what they did is something those of
us who grew up in relative stability
will never be able to fully compre-
hend. I can personally testify to the
fact that these men have changed
and are thoroughly committed to
being an influence for good in the
world.
Locally, I had an interesting expe-
rience in my role as a board member
of the Police Activities League. I
was contacted by a young man was
one of the original Hispanic stu-
dents at San Mateo High School
back in 2006 for whom PAL organ-
ized a soccer program to keep them
out of gang activity. It took a while
to get them to change their think-
ing. This young man did get into
some trouble at the start. Today, he
is an impressive 23-year-old man,
the father of a 6-year-old son. He is
gainfully employed. He is represen-
tative of where this original group
of young men are today.
And why did he want to see me? He
wanted a letter of recommendation
to federal immigration authorities in
his appeal to be accepted as a legiti-
mate member of our society. I recall
the day I asked our original group of
boys how many of them had Social
Security cards and almost all of
them were consumed with laughter.
When will we ever get so many of
our youth who truly grew up
American and who missed out on
being born here a chance to be offi-
cial?
One final experience. About a
month ago, a group of 15 men went
into the 6 West Pod of the San
Mateo County Jail and put on our
third weekend retreat of the last two
years. It is a program based on one
most of us had experienced at San
Quentin. It was sponsored by the
Service League of San Mateo County
which promotes programs in the
jail. It took some doing at first to
get an OK from the Sheriffs Office.
Aweek later, a similar retreat was
conducted in the womens county
facility. I can testify to the fact that
the spirit generated among those
inside who had this chance to take a
deeper look at themselves and who
had the experience of people from
the outside who genuinely cared
about them made a profound and
hoped for lasting impression on
who they were really meant to be.
In a way this is a not-so-subtle
introduction to a future very impor-
tant discussion of what we might
accomplish in our own county as we
build a new jail and face the chal-
lenges of increased numbers of the
locally incarcerated as the realign-
ment program is implemented in our
state.
John Kelly, a proud native of San
Francisco, has lived on the Peninsula
since 1956. He spent 15 years on the
faculty of Serra High School, another
15 as director of Samaritan House and
has volunteered in various self-help
programs at San Quentin for more
than 20 years. He is currently on the
Board of the Service League and the
San Mateo Police Activities League.
Restorative justice part II
Its a wrap
D
uring the holidays there is nothing like the
present. There is also nothing like jeopardiz-
ing the chances the right present gets into the
right hands.
Like most roads to holiday if not quite hell than at
least a small antechamber of stress, the trip begins with
good intentions. Those intentions were fulfilling toy
wishes for needy children. This required a trip to the
mall, which is sort of like hell but less fun, to pluck
tags from the Salvation
Army tree.
Last years do-good-
ing ended up with two
bikes for two girls so
this year I figured Id
balance the gender play-
ing field and go for
boys. Besides, the
boys number one and
number two requests
were more palatable
than the girls who all
seemed to want freaky
half-human, half-horse
My Little Pony or
Monster High dolls. For
the uninitiated, these dolls make Barbie look chaste. I
wasnt going to be the gift giver that foists educational
books and socks on kids who dont want them but nei-
ther was I going to encourage pre-pubescent whoredom.
One tag was for a 5-year-old. Number one wish,
remote control car. The other boy was 8 and wanted a
scooter. Perfectly acceptable presents from a secret
Santa and easily attainable. If only choosing gifts for
my actual family members went this smooth.
Aslight hiccup happened at the store. Which remote
control vehicle? The sports car looked cool but the Jeep
was pretty sweet, too, with a bigger control which
seemed a better fit for 5-year-old fingers. The Jeep bat-
tery was longer lasting but the sports car maybe Im
tainted by the Hot Wheels of my childhood but who
wouldnt prefer silver paint and flame decals?
The scooter was equally challenging, at least once I
found one in the right price range hidden behind boxes
of equipment priced somewhere around an average car
payment. Then more questions the boy didnt specify
a theme so do we go with Iron Man 3 or the plain red?
Do you think he lives in a gang-infested area where red
would be a poor choice? How does Santa ever manage to
figure this all out?
Eventually, toys were bought and put in a house corner
for safekeeping while wrapping other gifts. Wrapping
mess was cleaned up, the gift tags were tucked away for
safety and the next day my Christmas partner in crime
was to drop the toys back at the mall. Then the call
came um, where are the tags?
Next came the fingerpointing: On the table. Not on
the table. Have to be on the table. You must have
thrown them out. You threw them out. Maybe you burnt
them with the newspaper? This is your fault. No, yours.
Ah, how the holidays bring out the best in all of us.
That night was delightful. Tore apart the house.
Donned latex gloves to rifle through the outside recy-
cling bin. Nothing. Next to the inside garbage which of
course was topped with coffee grounds and leftovers. No
dice. Back to the outside garbage can which was dimly
lit and permeated by the smell of a decaying pumpkin
like an unwanted ghost of autumn holidays past. Still
nothing.
We resigned ourselves to the very real possibility the
tags were inadvertently shuffled into the fireplace and
the next day the toys were dropped back off to the
Salvation Army with all the possible information
remembered summarized on a Post-It. Hopefully, organ-
izers can match up the toys with the boys through
process of elimination and seeing which tags are miss-
i ng.
Fast-forward a few days days still filled with the
occasional What in the heck could I have done with
those? and Why do you want to ruin Christmas for
those little boys? and I pulled two boxes from a
plastic tub of holiday gift wrapping necessities. Guess
what was stuck between them, taunting me with glittered
borders and jaunty ribbons from which they hung from
the tree?
So much for holiday tags. This year, it was more like a
holiday slip.

NEWYORK Stocks rose in quiet
trading Monday as investors start to
close the books on 2013.
Apple helped lift technology
stocks after the company reached a
deal to sell the iPhone to Chinas
largest wireless carrier.
The market has been moving broad-
ly higher since last Wednesday, when
the Federal Reserve said it will start
pulling back on its stimulus program
next month as the U.S. economy
improves. Last week the government
also raised its estimate for third-quar-
ter economic growth to 4.1 percent,
the fastest pace since 2011 .
Everything is going in the right
direction, said Rob Stein, chief
executive officer of Chicago-based
Astor Investment Management.
The Dow Jones industrial average
rose 73.47 points, or 0.5 percent, to
16, 294. 61. The Standard & Poors
500 index was up 9.67 points, or 0.5
percent, to 1,827.99. The Nasdaq
composite rose 44.16 points, or 1.1
percent, to 4,148.90.
Apple rose $21.07, or 4 percent,
to $570.09 after the company
reached a deal with China Mobile,
the worlds largest cell phone
provider, to sell the iPhone in the
worlds most populous country. The
iPhone is already sold through two
smaller carriers there. Technology
stocks in the S&P 500 rose 1.5 per-
cent, more than twice as much as the
broader index.
Trading was very light ahead of the
Christmas holiday. Just 2.8 billion
shares were traded on the New York
Stock Exchange, well below the
recent average of 3.4 billion.
Both the New York Stock Exchange
and the Nasdaq Stock Market will be
closed Wednesday for Christmas.
Both exchanges will also close at 1
p.m. Eastern on Tuesday for
Christmas Eve.
The market is heading for its best
year in more than a decade. The S&P
500 index has increased 28 percent
so far this year 30 percent when
dividends are included putting it
on track for its biggest annual gain
since 1997.
People want to hold on to these
gains, so no one is going to take any
undue risks this close to the end of the
year, said Stephen Carl, head equity
trader at Williams Capital. The next
two weeks, with Christmas and New
Years Day both falling in the middle
of the work week, will likely have
light trading, he said.
In other economic news, consumer
spending rose 0.5 percent in
November, the most since June.
Those are closely watched figures,
especially leading up to the holiday
season.
Retailer Jos. A. Bank rejected a
$1.5 billion buyout offer from Mens
Wearhouse on Monday. The rivals
have made offers to buy each other in
recent months, only to be rejected by
the other party. Jos. A. Bank fell 74
cents, or 1.3 percent, to $56.29 and
Mens Wearhouse fell 38 cents, or 0.7
percent, to $51.63.
Facebook rose $2.65, or 5 percent,
to $57.77. The social network was
added to the S&P 500 effective
Monday. Fund managers who repli-
cate indexes like the S&P 500 are
required to purchase stocks in a com-
pany when its added.
Target fell 61 cents, or 1 percent, to
$61.88 after The Wall Street Journal
reported that sales fell 3 percent to 4
percent in last weekend before
Christmas. Target is dealing with a
massive breach of security in credit
and debit card data.
Bond prices fell slightly. The yield
on the 10-year Treasury note rose to
2.93 percent from 2.89 percent.
Gold fell $6.70, or 0.6 percent, to
$1,197 an ounce. Gold has slumped
29 percent this year and is headed for
its first annual loss since 2000.
Traders have dumped gold as the fear
that the Federal Reserves easy-
money policies would cause inflation
dissipated.

York Stock Exchange and the Nasdaq Stock Market:

Big movers

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO Along-sought deal to
sell the iPhone through China Mobile should
enable Apple to boost its prots and build cus-
tomer loyalty in an important, growing mar-
ket.
China Mobile, the worlds largest wireless
carrier, boasts more than 750 million mobile
accounts, an audience that had been mostly
walled off from the iPhone until Apple and
China Mobile hammered out a multi-year
sales agreement after years of thorny negotia-
tions. The companies announced the deal
Sunday (Monday in China).
Analysts doubt the China Mobile break-
through will prompt Apple Inc. to introduce
an extremely cheap iPhone as the Cupertino,
Calif., company clings to a higher standard of
quality. That approach is likely to ensure that
smartphones running Googles Android soft-
ware remain the top-selling devices in China.
Even so, investors are pleased to see Apple
ll a gaping hole in the iPhones sales net-
work. Apples stock rose more than 3 percent
Monday, propelled by analysts projecting
that the China Mobile deal could lift iPhone
sales and Apples earnings by more than 10
percent next year.
But even with China Mobile Ltd.s vast
state-owned network, marketing power and
massive customer base, the iPhone still faces
signicant hurdles in the worlds most popu-
lous nation.
Apples smartphone is already available in
China through two smaller carriers, China
Telecom, and China Unicom. Although it is
popular with well-heeled Chinese consumers,
the iPhone is losing market share to lower-
priced smartphones from Samsung and local
brands. Most of the less expensive iPhone
rivals rely on Android, which Google Inc.
launched ve years ago as an alternative to
Apples then-dominant smartphone.
Now, more than 80 percent of the smart-
phones sold around the world run Android,
compared with 13 percent for the iPhone,
according to the research rm International
Data Corp.
That pecking order isnt likely to change,
even if analysts prove correct in their predic-
tions that the China Mobile deal will help
Apple sell anywhere from 10 million to 40
million iPhones next year. Those numbers
should help Apple increase its iPhone sales
volume from 150 million devices in its last
scal year, but it wont make that much of
dent in overall market share. More than 1 bil-
lion smartphones were sold in 2013 alone,
including 528 million in Asia, according to
IDC.
China Mobile and Apple working together
isnt fundamentally going to be a game
changer in the smartphone market, said
Forrester Research analyst Frank Gillett.
In September, Apple did introduce a lower-
priced iPhone called the 5C, but its only
$100 cheaper than the high-end 5S. Apple and
China Mobile didnt announce pricing or the
terms of their agreement. The average price of
iPhones in Apples most recent quarter stood
at $577, which is likely to be more expensive
than most Chinese consumers can afford.
Although Apple might eventually introduce
a slightly lower priced iPhone designed espe-
cially for the Chinese market, Gillett said the
company is never going to go chasing the
bottom of the barrel.
The iPhone 5S and 5C will go on sale in
Apple and China Mobile stores beginning
Friday, Jan. 17. China Mobile customers can
register for phones starting Wednesday.
There are still plenty of higher-income
China Mobile customers that have been pin-
ing for the iPhone, especially the 5S in a
gold-plated color that is considered a sign of
prestige in China.
Apple lands elusive iPhone deal with China Mobile
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK Jos. A. Bank rejected a
takeover offer from competitor Mens
Wearhouse, saying the $1.54 billion bid is
too low.
Mens Wearhouse said Monday that it
will carefully consider all of our options
to make this combination a reality. That
may include launching a proxy battle.
Mens Wearhouse said it could nominate
director candidates at Jos. A. Banks next
annual meeting.
Its the latest twist in the effort to com-
bine the two companies. Putting the two
together would create a mens clothing
powerhouse with more than 1,700 outlets.
In September, a few months after Mens
Wearhouse ousted its founder and chair-
man, George Zimmer, Jos. A. Bank offered
to buy its larger rival for $2.3 billion, or
$48 per share. Mens Wearhouse turned
down that offer, and after Jos. A. Bank
dropped the bid, Mens Wearhouse turned
the tables with its own offer, for $1.54 bil-
lion, or $55 per share.
Shares of The Mens Wearhouse fell 51
cents to $51.50 in late morning trading,
and Jos. A. Bank stock declined 30 cents
to $56.73.
Jos. A. Bank Clothiers Inc. said its
board unanimously rejected the offer from
Fremont-based Mens Wearhouse. The
Hampstead, Md., company said it will con-
tinue to look into acquisition opportuni-
ties that would create value for its share-
holders.
In June, Mens Wearhouse pushed out
Zimmer following a dispute over the direc-
tion of the company. In August the retailer
completed its acquisition of JA Holdings,
which owns the Joseph Abboud brand.
Jos. A. Bank sells mens tailored and
casual clothing and shoes. Its known for
promotions like buying one suit or sport
coat and getting three for free. Mens
Wearhouse sells mens clothing and suits
through its namesake chain of stores, as
well as Moores and the K&G retail chain.
Recently, the company has been going
after younger shoppers with suits with
slimmer silhouettes.
Disney CEOs pay shrinks in 2013
Disney CEO Bob Igers pay package
shrank 7 percent for 2013, despite the com-
panys strong nancial performance for the
year.
Iger received compensation valued at
$34.3 million for the year, down from
$37.1 million last year.
The Walt Disney Co. said in a regulatory
ling Monday that his compensation fell
because the companys results did not
exceed internal goals by as much this year
as they did in 2012. The shortfall cut $3 mil-
lion from Igers cash bonus. There was also
a drop in the value of his pension benet.
Igers salary stayed steady at $2.5 mil-
lion.
The APs calculation counts salary, bonus-
es, perks, stock and options awarded to the
executive during the year.
Disney elects Twitters
Jack Dorsey to board
Disney is adding Twitter Chairman and
Square CEO Jack Dorsey to its board of
directors.
Walt Disney Co. says Dorsey is joining
the board effective immediately. He will
stand for election to a full term at the com-
panys annual meeting on March 18.
Dorsey, 37, co-founded Twitter Inc. and
sent the rst Tweet in March 2006. He has
been chairman of the company since 2008
and was also Twitters rst CEO. He founded
mobile payment processor Square Inc. in
2009 and is CEO of that company.
Dorsey will replace Judith Estrin on
Disneys board. Estrin has been on the
board for 15 years and cant run for a new
term under the Burbank, Calif., companys
corporate rules. She is a former executive for
Cisco Systems and now runs JLABS LLC.
Hyundai, Kia to pay
millions in fuel settlement
Hyundai and its sister company Kia said
Monday that they will pay up to $395 mil-
lion to consumers as part of a proposed set-
tlement over overstated gas mileage.
The Environmental Protection Agency
found inated numbers on 13 Hyundai and
Kia vehicles in November of 2012.
Hyundai and Kia acknowledged the prob-
lem, changed the fuel economy numbers and
blamed a procedural error. Since then,
Hyundai and Kia have been compensating
owners with payments of around $88 annu-
ally, which is based on the amount the
mileage was overstated and the average
price of gasoline.
Hyundai Motor Co. and Kia Motors are
also offering an option of a lump-sum pay-
ment.

S
acred Heart Prep coach Pete
Lavorato pumped up linebacker Ben
Burr-Kirven all season long, saying
on several occasions he was the best player
he has ever coached. Apparently, however,
not many colleges have shown a lot of
interest.
But after Burr-Kirvens performance in
the Division III state championship game,
college coaches should start blowing up
Lavoratos phone. With the game against
Corona Del Mar broadcast on Comcast
Sports Net-California, Burr-Kirven put on a
show. Burr-Kirven
nished with, by
my count, 25 tack-
les 15 of which
were solo tackles.
The announcers
were denitely
impressed with
Burr-Kirvens
game, as several
times they said,
And guess who
made the tackle?
Burr-Kirven, a
junior, has one
more season left
with the Gators. Barring injury, he should
be getting plenty of recruiting letters in the
months to come.

It was tough weekend for Northern
California teams in the four state champi-
onship games. Central Catholic-Modesto
was the only Nor Cal winner, beating
Bakerseld Christian 36-23 in the Division
IV championship game.
The Open, Division I, II and III games,
however, all went to teams from Southern
California. St. John Bosco ended De La
Salles four-year reign as state champs,
beating the Spartans, 20-14. The win not
only denied De La Salle its fth straight
state title, but it also ended the Spartans
40-game winning streak.
Guess who has the longest winning
streak in the state now? Corona Del Mar,
which, after beating Sacred Heart Prep in
the Division III game, now has won 26
games in a row.

Colin Kaepernick and the Niners sealed their
postseason berth in a ceremonious regular-
season farewell for Candlestick Park.
Bowman returned an interception 89 yards

Segre leaves a legacy
By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Sacred Heart Prep running back Andrew Segre said hes been thinking about the
word legacy and his place amongst the Gator Nations elite since the rst time he
donned a varsity uniform.
And he played that way in 2013.
I wanted to leave my mark on Sacred Heart, Segre said in a phone conversation
a couple of days after the biggest game in SHP history. I hope Ive done that.
There is nothing to suggest Segre didnt.
In 2013 alone, Segre rushed for 1,444 yards and 20 touchdowns.
He caught 19 passes for 489 yards and another ve scores.
He broke the SHP record for most yards in a game with 361.
He helped Sacred Heart Prep repeat as Central Coast Section Division IV champi-
ons after earning a No. 1 seed and placing second in the Peninsula Athletic League

Lees double-double
leads GS Dubs to win
Sharks win in shootout
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DENVER David Lees season came to a
painful end the last time he played in
Denver. He put that memory to rest in his
return.
Lee had 28 points and 10 rebounds for his
ninth straight double-double, leading the
Golden State Warriors past the Denver
Nuggets 89-81 on Monday night.
Stephen Curry, battling foul trouble much
of the night, added 14 points in the rst
meeting between the teams since the
Warriors, as the sixth seed, ousted third-
seeded Denver 4-2 in the rst round of the
playoffs last spring.
Lee tore his right hip exor in the fourth
quarter of the rst playoff game, missing the
rest of the Warriors postseason run.
The last time I played in this building
wasnt the greatest result, Lee said. I got
injured, so I wanted to come out tonight, put
that behind me and attack the basket early,
get any thoughts of that kind of stuff out of
the way. I had some success early and I just
tried to be consistent throughout the game.
Klay Thompson scored eight of his 13
points in the fourth quarter, helping Golden
State overcome a fourth-quarter decit for
the fourth time this season and sending the
Nuggets to their season-high fourth consec-
utive loss.
The Warriors also got a strong game from
Andre Iguodala, a former Nugget who hit a
key 3-pointer late in the game and nished
with 12 points while shrugging off the con-
stant boos from the crowd.
It wasnt that bad, he said. Its just our
day and age in sports. Theres so many
transactions, and fans are so into it now
with the media, being so close to the game,
you see it a lot more.
For all the noise and attention over his
return, it was the game that Lee put together
in his rst game back in Denver that made
the difference for the Warriors, Iguodala
said.
He went to work for us early to get us our
lead and when we hit a little bit of a drought,
we went back to him and he kind of got us
out of it, Iguodala said. Hes been doing a
great job of wracking up those double dou-
bles and being a go-to guy.

SAN JOSE San Jose Sharks coach Todd
McLellan refused to dwell on any negatives
that came out of a wild nish.
Joe Pavelski scored with just under 20 sec-
onds left in regulation to tie the game and
Logan Couture and Patrick Marleau tallied in
the shootout, lifting the San Jose Sharks to
a 5-4 win over the Colorado Avalanche on
Monday night.
Pav has been a real clutch player over the
past two weeks for us, hes kind of the go-to
guy right now, he seems to be getting it
done, McLelland said. He did it again
tonight for us. Were happy for him and for
us.
Erik Johnson and Jamie McGinn scored
goals 12 seconds apart in the nal two min-
utes to put the Avalanche ahead.
Asked about Niemi giving up the two
quick goals, McLellan responded, You
know what, its Christmas. Lets all go
home and enjoy it, and Ill answer those
questions when we come back.
Johnsons extra-man goal slipped under

AUBURN, Ala. Gus Malzahn inherited
a demoralized Auburn team that had just
gone through the programs worst season in
decades with a stagnant offense and pliant
defense.
As is his way, the coach known for fast
play on offense went to work in a hurry. He
led the second-ranked Tigers transforma-
tion into Southeastern Conference champi-
ons and has them in the national champi-
onship game Jan. 6 against No. 1 Florida
State.
Malzahns quick work made him The
Associated Press national coach of the year.
Its very humbling, he said Monday.
Any time you get awards like this, its a
team thing, as far as our staff and our play-
ers. Its been fun to be a part of this year.
Malzahn received 33 votes from AP Top
25 college football poll voters to beat out
Dukes David Cutcliffe. Cutcliffe received 17
votes after leading Duke (10-3) to its rst
10-win season. Florida States Jimbo Fisher
and Michigan States Mark Dantonio each
received three votes.
Malzahn is the second Auburn coach to
win the award since it began in 1998, join-
ing Tommy Tuberville (2004), and the sec-
ond coach to win it in his rst season with a
new team. Maryland Ralph Friedgen was AP
coach of the year in 2001, his rst season
with the Terrapins.
Its the fth time an SEC coach has won
AP coach of the year.
Auburn icon Bo Jackson likened
Malzahns task to starting with an empty
lot upon his hiring in December 2012.
Hes got to rebuild that house, said
Jackson, the 1985 Heisman Trophy winner.
The foundation was set with condence
and attitude, reinforced with a message that
it was a new day for Auburn (12-1) after a
3-9 season in 2012 that was the Tigers
worst since 1952. Even more jarring, they
had failed to win an SEC game.
It didnt take the team long to adopt a goal
of forging the greatest turnaround in college
football.
The result was one of the biggest ever.
Only Hawaiis 8.5-game turnaround from
1999-2000 matches Auburns one-year
improvement.

ALAMEDA Terrelle Pryor will start at
quarterback for the Oakland Raiders on
Sunday, replacing Matt McGloin for the
final regular-season game against the
Denver Broncos.
Coach Dennis Allen
made the announcement
at the end of his news
conference Monday, say-
ing it was part of the
plan that apparently
took shape when Pryor
recovered from an injury
to his right knee in late
November.
Its been a while since
weve gotten an opportunity to see Terrelle
in a game and I want to get him in the game
and get another opportunity to evaluate
him, Allen said. We all get frustrated when
were not playing, but (Pryor has) done a
good job with that and hes going to get
another opportunity.
Pryor was the leading rusher among quar-
terbacks in the NFL when he suffered a knee
sprain in early November. However, he has
thrown only ve touchdowns with 11 inter-
ceptions and has a passer rating of just
66. 0.
When asked why he was making the move
now, Allen emphasized that he was not
benching McGloin and that it is simply
another chance for the Raiders (4-11) to
take another look at Pryor.
Whether the decision was Allens or
whether it came at the urging from owner
Mark Davis remains unclear.
Allen has been a strong supporter of
McGloins since early in training camp and
has repeatedly talked glowingly about the
former Penn State star.
Even after making the switch back to
Pryor, Allen made it clear he believes
McGloin will be in the mix for the job next
season. McGloin has thrown more touch-
downs (eight) and fewer interceptions
(eight) than Pryor but has also completed a
lower percentage of passes than his counter-
part.
I liked a lot of things that I saw in Matt,
Allen said. He wasnt quite as sharp as he
had been earlier in a couple of the earlier
games, but Ive been pleased with what Ive
seen out of (McGloin) from the rst moment
he walked on campus here. I think we have a
guy that can be in our plans for the future
and Im glad hes on this football team.
Its been a tricky road back into the start-
ing lineup for Pryor.
He was hurt during Oaklands 49-20 loss
to the Philadelphia Eagles on Nov. 3 then
aggravated the injury the following week
against the New York Giants.
After that game, Pryor told reporters his
knee had been bothering him a statement
he later regretted making because, in his
words, it sounded like an excuse.
That opened the door for McGloin, who
threw three touchdowns without an inter-
ception in his rst NFL start against the
Houston Texans on No. 17.
Oaklands offense has made only modest
improvements since then and the team has
lost its past ve games with McGloin as the
starter.
In the past two games, the undrafted rook-
ie quarterback threw six interceptions and
lost two fumbles. McGloin passed for just
206 yards and committed two turnovers dur-
ing Sundays 26-13 loss to the San Diego
Chargers.
Allen, however, declined to say whether
Pryor will play the entire game against the
Denver Broncos or if McGloin will be rotat-
ed in.
That was the pattern the Raiders used
against the New York Jets and Kansas City
Chiefs, only in reverse with McGloin start-
ing and Pryor coming off the bench.

In a strong sign that the Americas Cup
could return to San Francisco in 2017,
Mayor Ed Lee has proposed to organizers
that the main venue and team bases be cen-
tralized on the Embarcadero and that the
schedule be more consistent and condensed.
Lee said in a letter to the Americas Cup
Event Authority that the city is making the
proposal with great enthusiasm, guided by
the lessons learned and practical experience
of the 34th Americas Cup.
The city and the Americas Cup Event
Authority must still agree to a host city
agreement for the 35th Americas Cup, with
that agreement needing the approval of the
Board of Supervisors.
Oracle Team USA staged one of the great-
est comebacks in sports in September on
San Francisco Bay by winning eight
straight races against Emirates Team New
Zealand to retain the oldest trophy in inter-
national sports.
While it was the most successful regatta in
the 162-year history of the Americas Cup,
the buildup was full of setbacks, including
the death of a sailor during training, it gen-
erated less economic impact in the Bay Area
than projected and cost city taxpayers more
than $5 million.
Lees letter, sent Monday, said any deci-
sion to host the next Americas Cup must
build from and cultivate the success of the
past event while at the same time take
account of better ways to capitalize on pre-
viously missed opportunities.
He added that hes looking for an agree-
ment for Americas Cup 35 that maximizes
the economic, cultural and other benets for
the City and eliminates unnecessary risks
and uncertainty.
Lee proposed that Piers 27-29 on the
Embarcadero not only host Americas Cup
Park again, but, in a signicant change
from the last regatta, house the team bases
as well.
Last summer, team bases were scattered
around the bay. Artemis Racing of Sweden
was based in Alameda, Oracle Team USAwas
on Pier 80 and Team New Zealand and Italys
Luna Rossa shared Piers 30-32.
Russell Coutts, a ve-time Americas Cup
winner who is CEO of Oracle Team USA,
said Lees letter is encouraging.
I think people saw last time that it kind
of opened up the citys waterfront to people
in a way that hadnt happened before,
Coutts told The Associated Press in a phone
interview from his home in New Zealand.

SAN FRANCISCO Mike Gay
has made the half-hour commute
from his city home in San
Francisco to Candlestick Park
almost daily for 35 years.
Candlesticks long-time stadium
chief is working hard to ensure a
special send off Monday night
while making sure not to get too
sentimental as the aging stadiums
time comes to a ceremonious close
when the 49ers host the Atlanta
Falcons.
Nostalgia? Not yet.
Gay has been too busy during
The Sticks farewell season to
reect on his decades-long front-
row seat for some of the most
unforgettable moments in sports.
It hasnt really sunk in, not just
for me, my crew, Gay said while
reminiscing as he led a tour
through Candlestick last week.
Ill know Monday night. Ive
probably tried to block it out, I
guess, but you hear it every day.
Gay, a stationary engineer who
previously worked at a hospital,
knows full well how fortunate he
has been to have one heck of a
behind-the-scenes view of histo-
ry.
From the daily stresses to the
major ones, like racing to react in
the immediate aftermath of the
1989 World Series earthquake, and
a Monday Night Football power
outage two Decembers ago, Gay
has seen it all.
Every game weekend, Gay leads
a four-hour Friday night walk-
through to check everything from
parking lots, the setup of the
suites to how bathrooms are func-
tioning.
When asked what he will miss
most now, Gay said matter-of-
factly, Thats a good question.
Ill probably miss the prepara-
tion of getting ready
for a football game,
he added.
It was difcult to see
the Giants leave for
their waterfront AT&T
Park in 2000, though
Gay didnt miss the
tireless 24-hour conversions from
baseball to football.
I missed the team, he said.
He still recalls the major earth-
quake that hit before Game 3 of
the 1989 Bay Bridge World Series,
when our only concern was try-
ing to get everybody out of the
stadium without any way to com-
municate to all of the fans and
employees inside Candlestick
given the brand-new sound sys-
tem wasnt yet tied into the gener-
ators.
Gay learned in a hurry to dress
for the unpredictable weather,
such as those infamous
Candlestick swirling winds off
the bay that could make for bitter
cold days even in the middle of
summer.

Tramaine Brock broke up a pass
intended for Harry Douglas and
Bowman got his hands on the ball
and took off. He was joined in the
end zone by his teammates for a
jubilant dog pile.
I always say a lot of plays are
made when you run to the ball,
Bowman said. Thats all I was
doing was just running to the ball,
trying to make a tackle, and it
popped up and I was able to make a
play for my team.
Matt Ryan threw a 39-yard
touchdown pass to Roddy White
with 8:34 remaining and a 2-yard
score to Tony Gonzalez with 2:09
left as the Falcons (4-11) made
things interesting until the end.
Atlantas Jason Snelling recov-
ered the ensuing onside kick as the
Falcons got the ball back and were
driving for a potential go-ahead
score when San Francisco (11-4)
capitalized with one of its biggest
takeaways yet.
When we got the onside kick at
the end, we had a great opportuni-
ty to win but it wasnt meant to
be, Ryan said. Sometimes the
ball bounces in the other direc-
tion. Thats been the case for us.
Kaepernick ran for a 4-yard
touchdown and threw a 10-yard TD
pass to Anquan Boldin, and Frank
Gore scored on a 1-yard touchdown
run as the 49ers used a big second
half to clinch a third straight play-
off season and fth consecutive
victory.

Bay Division.
He was named onto the PAL Bay Division
First Team.
He was part of an outstanding offensive
effort that up 42 points in the CIF Nor Cal
championship game giving SHP its rst
ever title of that kind.
He was the offensive load. And yes, SHP
had riches in the backeld, but there was
something electric when Segre touched the
ball in 2013. His highlight reel is full of
bruising runs that sucked the soul out of 14
different defenses. And a in a lot of ways,
SHP as a team embodied that personality
during its run to the CIF Division III cham-
pionship game last Saturday in Carson
the rst San Mateo County prep team to rep-
resent at that high of a level and the rst in
the state championship conversation
since the 1920s.
I exceeded them, actually, Segre said of
his 2013 goals. As a team, I didnt think
wed do as well as we did. I thought if we
could get back to the CCS championship
and win that, it would be more than I
dreamed of. And we won that, and we won
Nor Cals and went to State, I did not expect
that at all. That was amazing.
Amazing would be the best way to
describe Segres season when you take a
moment to consider that he helped the
Gators make history with one arm almost
literally. And that his list of accolades is
about as long as his personal injury list.
Last season, Segre dislocated his shoulder
and the injury reared its ugly head a couple
of times during the year. The 2013 cam-
paign saw Segre battle through a lot of pain
and injuries as well.
During the preseason, Segre injured his
ankle.
During a win against Salinas High
School, his shoulder dislocated three times
and an MRI showed he had a detached labrum
and bone chips in his scapula.
Not to long after that, Segre sprained his
wrist and broke his nger.
And head coach Pete Lavorato conrmed
that Segre played the majority of the season
with his shoulder trying to escape its prop-
er socket on multiple occasions.
I just wanted to do anything for my team
to win, Segre said. I felt like I owed it to
them. Anything I could do to help, thats
what I wanted to do.
Through all those nagging injuries, Segre
found his way onto the eld and into Sacred
Heart legend. For his career, Segre rushed
for 2,208 yards and 28 touchdowns and is a
back-to-back CCS champion.
And today, he can also add Daily Journal
Football Player of the Year to his list of
personal accomplishment.
While Segres statistics jump out and are
truly worth noting, its his leadership abili-
ty that properly cements him as on the all-
time great players in Sacred Heart Prep his-
tory. Coming into this season, there
werent too many people who believed the
Gators could duplicate the success of 2012s
team considering they lost 21 seniors to
graduation a number of which were cap-
tains and served as guides for that champi-
onship squad. To say that SHPhad more than
its fair share of haters throughout the sea-
son all the way through their two cham-
pionship runs, would be an understatement.
But Segre, along with fellow seniors like
Alex Costa and Patrick Finnigan, in a lot of
ways exceeded the efforts of that historic
2012 SHP squad. The way we play, its just
a big family, Segre said. And thats all
you need to win a football game.
And thats how Segre approached every
game, every play, every snap. Even in inter-
views that highlight his amazing athletic
prowess, Segre is quick to point to other
members of the Sacred Heart family from
players like Costa and Finnigan, to coach-
es, as well. Of his jaw-dropping, 361 yards
performance against Pacic Grove in the
CCS championship game, Segre said, Our
O-Line played amazing that game. I watched
the lm later on and there were at least two
or three long runs where I didnt get touched.
Its great when youre used to running into
big crowds and instead have all that space, I
love it. They did a great job that game. I
never expected to run for that many yards or
touchdowns.
And while he probably wasnt expecting
to be named the Daily Journals Player of
the Year, the award should come as a surprise
to no one who saw Segre perform in 2013.

HEALTH 17
Tuesday Dec. 24, 2013 THEDAILYJOURNAL
By Calvin Woodward
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON Whether you love it or hate it or are just
plain confused by it, youve got to give the health care law
this much: Theres plenty of drama.
The nail biting goes on. As the clock ticks toward the Jan. 1
start of insurance coverage under President Barack Obamas
big, bold and bedraggled creation, there are inklings it might
get a second wind.
But that could turn out to be just hot air.
Time will tell, soon, as policies take effect in new health
insurance markets that have been enrolling customers or
trying for nearly three months.
Alook at the laws broad strokes, its brush with disaster and
the roots of a possible rebound:
THE GOOD
No more denying people coverage when theyve been sick.
No more stratospheric premiums for the previously or current-
ly ill, either. No more cutting off insurance payments because
someone has used up a years worth of benets. For all the
headaches signing up, questionnaires are also notable for ques-
tions they do not ask: Have you been treated for cancer? What
is your medical history? It wont matter anymore.
Few in the polarized debate over the health care overhaul
defend the history of an insurance system that can drive people
into poverty when they get sick or steer them away from treat-
ment they need. The critics quarrel with the means more than
these particular ends. And families like the fact that adult chil-
dren can stay on their parents plans until they are 26, an early
consequence of the law and one of its few visible effects until
now.
THE BAD
More than 4 million people lost coverage because their
policies fell short of new federal standards. Far fewer gained
insurance in the new markets in that time. This happened
despite Obamas repeated and now discredited pledge that peo-
ple happy with their insurance could simply keep it. He part-
nered that assurance with a promise that people happy with
their doctors could keep them, too. Not so, in many cases.
Another rude awakening.
After a wave of cancellations, the government revised its
rules on substandard policies to let insurance companies offer
them for one more year. Its not clear how many plans will be
retrieved from the dustbin as a result. Some will be allowed to
buy bare-bones catastrophic plans. And people who lost their
insurance can shop for new plans that in many cases will offer
better terms. But better coverage will often come at a higher
cost.
THE UGLY
Ugly goes to HealthCare.gov, the federal governments
buggy online insurance portal, impenetrable for weeks for
many if not most who tried to see what plans they could
choose from and perhaps sign up for one. Its on the mend. But
until coverage begins for those who took that route, its prog-
nosis remains uncertain.
THE UNRAVELING
Washington can put a positive spin on almost anything,
and federal ofcials did just that at the very start. Yes,
HealthCare.gov is buckling under the user load. Thats because
folks love it!
The smiley face soon melted into a swamp of recrimina-
tions. Led by Republicans, of course, who feigned indignation
that the law many of them despise wasnt working out so well.
Amore authentic response came from Democrats: the heebie-
jeebies. Theyd gone to bat for the law in the mighty struggle
to pass it in 2010 and faced down all efforts that followed from
the GOP to repeal it. With elections coming next year,
Democrats are not happy.
What next for health law: Calmor more turbulence?
