A former political consultant to the mil-
lionaire businesswoman who unsuccessful-
ly ran for the presidency of Madagascar is
suing the Belmont resident over more than
$165,000 in unpaid bills.
In the lawsuit led by Los Altos-based
Global Policy Strategies, APC, rm presi-
dent George Duf Sundheim claims he
served as Roseline Emma
Rasolovoahangys prin-
cipal advisor, laid out her
strategy and introduced
her to an extensive polit-
ical network including
secretaries of state and
public gures like former
California first lady
Maria Shriver. Sundheim
served as chairman of the
California Republican Party from 2003-
2007.
According to published reports earlier
this year, Rasolovoahangys platform
included drawing overseas investment to
the poverty-stricken country.
But Rasolovoahangy was disqualified
from the October 2013 presidential race in
August 2012 because she no longer had
established residency and has not yet paid
the $165,809 she owes, according to the
suit led Monday in San Mateo County
Superior Court.
A 2010 constitutional referendum barred
candidates that had had not lived in the
county for the previous six months.

inquiry for comment.

Traditional ornaments and
Christmas lights will seem old school
when compared to the new festive
decor with which the streets of down-
town San Mateo are being adorned.
Local artist Lorna Watt and a team of
volunteers are taking to the streets to
yarn bomb 30 Third Avenue trees.
Some of Watts yarn bombed
endeavors included knitting cozy
socks for mailboxes in front of the
post office, turning a B Street magno-
lia tree into a giant squid, revamping
old parking meters and covering graf-
fiti ridden utility boxes.
We like to think of public objects,
and imagine how we can transform
them in a new way, Watt said.
What started out as a sneaky guerril-
la-style hobby, Watts creative adorn-
ment of public objects in the area led
the Downtown San Mateo Association
to reach out and join in the fun, Watt
said.
In April, she was asked to become
the DSMAs artist in residence and
commissioned to provide locals and
visitors with eye-catching public art,
Watt said.
Its so great to have [Watt] as our
artist in residence, shes making
magic in downtown, said Nancy
Bush, president of the DSMA board of
directors.
Watt and local volunteers began
installing the colorful knitted tree-
sweaters on Monday and will be con-
tinuing through 11 a.m. today. She and
her sister Jill Watt used a loom to knit
about 40 miles of yarn donated by the
United American Bank, Watt said. Each
sweater took about an hour to pre-knit
and another half-hour to install, Watt
said.
Volunteers from DSMA, United
American Bank and the community at
large stepped up with crochet hooks in

BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE
Travel at San Francisco International
Airport just got a lot more cuddly thanks to
a team of therapy dogs who began interact-
ing with passengers at the Bay Areas
busiest airport yesterday.
The Wag Brigade, a new branch of the
San Francisco SPCAs Animal Assisted
Therapy Program, brings nine certified
therapy dogs and their volunteer owners to
SFOs check-in areas, terminals and gates
to spread a little four-legged affection to
passengers feeling the stress of holiday
travel.
Petting a dog for just a couple of minutes
has been proven to lower a persons heart
rate, relieve anxiety and reduce stress,
according to the SPCA.
The three therapy dogs who launched
SFOs Wag Brigade have been regular visi-
tors to Bay Area hospitals, rehabilitation
centers and youth facilities.
These are pooches that have very high
credentials, SFO spokesman Doug Yakel
said.
Jenna, a 6-year-old white curly-haired
cockapoo whose full name is Lady Jenna
Barbara, frequently visits hospitals to
snuggle with patients, and loves children,
according to her owner, Fabio Giuntarelli.
Shes very cuddly, Giuntarelli said.
She has a good, mellow temperament and
I want to share her qualities with people.
During a test visit through SFO on
Monday, Giuntarelli said several passen-
gers flocked to Jenna for a few quick pats,
some of them saying that they missed their
own dogs at home.
Shes a total babe magnet, he said.
Another member of the Wag Brigade
named Toby, a lanky 3-year-old golden-
doodle with a broad smile, wasnt a perfect
fit for hospital visits because he occasion-
ally drooled on patients, according to
owner Shari Marks.
However, Toby has become a big favorite
among students of all ages at Bay Area
schools, Marks said. This week, hes
scheduled to go to the California College
of the Arts to interact with students who are
studying for finals.
Hes totally mellow and incredibly well-
trained, Marks said with Toby panting at
her side. The kids love him.
At least one of the Wag Brigade dogs will
be touring the airport seven days a week
during peak times through the holidays,
Yakel said.
The dogs vary in size, but each will be
wearing a gray vest that says Pet Me! and
has the dogs name on the back.
If the Wag Brigade program goes well,
there is a possibility that it will continue
after the holidays, Yakel said.
The goal is to have it running all year,
he said.

Two new tenants may soon be join-
ing the commercial building at 1395
El Camino Real in Millbrae, the for-
mer home to Shaws Candy.
The Little Gym franchise and
Tutoring Club got the go-ahead to
move forward with plans to open since
the Millbrae Planning Commission
unanimously approved the conditional
use permits at its Monday night meet-
ing. Openings could be in early
spring, if not sooner, said Zeden
Jones, a consultant working with the
new The Little Gym.
The 22,000-square-foot space on the
corner of El Camino Real and
Millwood Drive was originally con-
structed in the 1950s as a candy facto-
ry, but closed due to leasing issues in
2010, according to a staff report. The
current owner, Carl Chen, purchased
the property thereafter and has com-
pleted major renovation of the build-
ing site, including parking, landscap-
ing and signs and is in the process of
leasing it out. The Sherwin Williams
on site will stay in place, Jones said.
The Planning Commission initially
had concerns about the parking associ-
ated with the new businesses coming
in to the space. This was addressed
with the modication of an approved
conditional use permit for the plaza
which called for reduced parking, said
Planning Commissioner Jean Joh.
They tried to alleviate the parking
issue and addressed that, she said.
They are businesses without too much
trafc or parking problems.
The Little Gym is relocating from its
existing location at 979 Broadway, as
it wanted a larger facility for its indoor
recreation, Jones said. The childrens
gymnasium and physical development
center is for those age 4 months to 12
years old. Average class attendance is
about 10 to 16 per class, the staff
report stated.
The Little Gym would occupy a
5,159-square-foot space and operate
9 a.m.-noon, along with 3 p.m.-
7:30 p.m. Monday through Friday,
according to the report. It would
also have hours Saturday and Sunday
from 8 a.m.-7 p.m., with parties
from varying times on each day,
according to the report.
Meanwhile, the Tutoring Club is a
franchise based in San Francisco and
offers an educational tutoring service
to grades kindergarten through 12th-
grade. Its new Millbrae location would
take up 2,100 square feet of the plaza.
It would be open 3 p.m.-6 p.m.
Monday through Friday and 10 a.m.-1
p.m. on Saturdays during the school
year. During the summer, it would be
open 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Monday through
Thursday. Average attendance per class
is 15 to 18 students with six to seven
tutors onsite most times, according to
the report.

$1.5 million and created a new zoning designation to pro-
tect it as open space in October. The city sold 8 acres for $2
million with the stipulation that six needed to be main-
tained as open space.
With councilmembers fearful that the land could be
rezoned or sold off in the future, they tasked the Parks and
Recreation Department to outline ways to identify it as
parkland in an attempt to safeguard it as permanent open
space.
The majority of the departments recommendations were
approved, including developing a trail map and installing
trailhead signage, an informational kiosk and benches,
said Parks and Recreation Department Director
Jonathan Gervais.
Trailhead signage will be placed on the publicly accessi-
ble Steep, Sugarloaf Spur and Saddle trails.
However, Saddle Trail will have to wait for signage until the
nearby residential development is completed, Gervais said.
The interpretive program that would include guided hikes
and informative panels will be held for further considera-
tion during the citys next budget cycle, Gervais said.

Hillsdale High School is marrying real
world architecture skills with students in the
classroom.
Hillsdale teacher Melissa Pobletes junior
and senior English classes are designing
their own versions of a new two-story, 20-
classroom wing that will soon be added to the
school to address growth. At the same time,
the administration and Quattrocchi Kwok
Architects are making plans for the wing. It
will likely contain science classrooms and
labs, world language classes, some ofce
spaces, outdoor learning areas and a day care.
Students attend design committee meetings
and give their own feedback on the plans.
Whenever schools can include students in
real life career experiences, they provide an
opportunity for them to grow personally and
professionally, said Liz McManus, associ-
ate superintendent of business services for
the San Mateo Union High School District,
in an email. The district sees these situa-
tions as incredible opportunities and may
impact our students decisions with career
choices.
Students in teams of about six will present
their own graphic design plans Dec. 11 to a
panel of experts made up of Quattrocchi
Kwok Architects and architects from other
rms. Students are also incorporated writing
into the project, with arguments supporting
their plans. Quattrocchi Kwok Architects will
take the students ideas into consideration for
their own plans.
It gives students some input, said junior
Dylan Sievert, who is in one of Pobletes
classes. Its a huge respect thing. Were
being treated more as equals than in the
past.
Other students in Pobletes classes like
junior Carolyn Siu said she looked into dif-
ferent styles of learning that could be incor-
porated into the building through the project
and enjoyed expressing her views on learn-
ing styles. Fellow junior Ryan Fong is inter-
ested in architecture and said its really cool
to be doing something that makes an impact.
Principal Jeff Gilbert said its important to
try to have students invested in their schools
and any time you give students a voice in
shaping the school environment it engages
them in the school. He also says exposure to
professionals sets a good example for the
students.
High schools have to work really hard to
make sure relationships are attended to, he
said. When students are brought into the
place, theres much better learning.
Curriculum is always more effective when its
real and goes beyond the abstract.
Mark Quattrocchi, principal at Quattrocchi
Kwok Architects, said his rm asks schools
if it can meet with students in any design
project.
I happened to run across Melissa (Poblete)
and I started chatting with her, he said. She
wanted to turn it into a real world example of
project-based learning. Its a great example
of 21st-century learning skills teachers are
trying to use.
The building is set to open in fall 2016.

The seeds for a community garden in
San Carlos namely, the desire for
such a public space may be in place
but actually nding a suitable and avail-
able space could determine if the idea
actually takes root.
We really need a vacant lot some-
where but no one knows where that
might be, said former mayor Tom
Davids who is also president of the
Civic Garden Club of San Carlos.
Davids said the suggestion of a com-
munity garden goes way back, maybe
15 to 20 years, but that backers could
never pin down a satisfactory spot.
Im not sure there is such a space but
well see if we can carve out an area,
Davids said.
The citys Parks, Recreation and
Culture Commission will take up the
idea at its Wednesday night meeting.
The commission will try to zero in on a
potential location with details like size
and costs worked out later, said Parks
and Recreation Director Christine
Boland.
Boland ballparked about $5,000 just
to put a number in the budget with plans
to seek community donations after a
location is set.
Both Boland and Davids think the
city of San Carlos would embrace the
idea of a community garden. Those who
live in apartments and condominiums
could particularly support the idea,
Boland said.
Such a garden would be a place to
grow community along with what is
actually planted in the ground and
appeal to both those with an existing
green thumb and those who would like
to learn, Davids said.
Hed also like to make the communi-
ty garden part of the garden clubs agen-
da and responsibility.
But rst up is nding the place to
make that happen.
The best possibility would be vacant
public land, per-
haps adjacent to a
park or in the rail-
road right-of-way,
because it would
be better suited for
a long-term com-
mitment in com-
parison to a pri-
vate lot whose
owners may favor
other uses in the
future, Davids
said.
Actual size
remains up in the air largely depend-
ent upon availability but Davids
would like to see a dozen or so plots to
encourage greater community participa-
tion.
Whatever works, works, he said.
If San Carlos is successful, the garden
will be in good company. San Mateo
County has 15 community gardens and
more than 50 percent of the countys
public schools also have gardens,
according to Get Healthy San Mateo
County.
The San Carlos Parks, Recreation and
Culture Commission meets 7 p.m.
Wednesday, Dec. 4 at City Hall, 600
Elm St., San Carlos.
City may plant seeds for community garden
Union official says NYC train engineer nodded
YONKERS, N.Y. An engineer whose speeding commuter
train ran off the rails along a curve, killing four people, nod-
ded at the controls just before the wreck, and by the time he
caught himself it was too late, a union ofcial said Tuesday.
William Rockefeller basically nodded, said Anthony
Bottalico, leader of the rail employees union, relating what
he said the engineer told him.
He had the equivalent of what we all have when we drive a
car, Bottalico said. That is, you sometimes have a momen-
tary nod or whatever that might be. How long that lasts, I
cant answer that.
Rockefellers lawyer did not return calls. During a late-
afternoon news conference, federal investigators said they
were still talking to Rockefeller, and they wouldnt comment
on his level of alertness around the time of the Sunday morn-
ing wreck in the Bronx.
Illinois Legislature OKs fix for $100B pension crisis
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. The Illinois Legislature approved a
historic plan Tuesday to eliminate the states $100 billion
pension shortfall, a long-delayed decision proponents
described as critical to repairing the states deeply troubled
nances but that faces the immediate threat of a legal chal-
lenge from labor unions.
The House voted 62-53 in favor of the plan, which makes
deep cuts in state employees retirement benets, minutes
after it was approved by a more union-friendly Senate, 30-
24. Both chambers are controlled by Democrats, traditional
allies of the unions.
Judge: Detroit can use bankruptcy to confront debt
DETROIT Afederal judge ruled Tuesday that Detroit can
use bankruptcy to cut employee pensions and relieve itself
of other crushing debts, handing a defeat to the citys unions
and retirees and shifting the case into a delicate new phase.
Judge Steven Rhodes, who wondered aloud why the bank-
ruptcy had not happened years ago, said pensions can be
altered just like any contract because the Michigan
Constitution does not offer bulletproof protection for
employee benets.

WASHINGTON With the advent of
3-D printers capable of producing plas-
tic weapons, the House voted Tuesday to
renew a 25-year-old prohibition against
rearms that can evade metal detectors
and X-ray machines.
A bipartisan bill extending the
Undetectable Firearms Act was passed
on a voice vote, a rst for gun legisla-
tion since last years massacre at a
Connecticut elementary school.
The Senate is expected to act on the
legislation when it returns from a two-
week Thanksgiving recess next
Monday, a day before the current law
expires.
Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., said he
and others will try then to add a new
requirement that at least one component
of the ring mechanism contain enough
metal to be detectable in a magnetome-
ter and also be undetachable. But with
the National Rie Association opposed
to any change in the statute and many
Democrats eager to avoid a new ght
over gun controls going into an elec-
tion year, the Senate is more likely to
just pass the House version unamended.
The House bill only requires that a plas-
tic gun have some piece of metal in or
on it, but it can be removable and does-
nt have to be used to re the weapon.
The House bill is better than noth-
ing, but not by much, Schumer said
Tuesday. Its certainly not enough.
Schumber said plastic guns were the
thing of science ction when the ban
was rst passed in 1988 but such
weapons are now a worrisome reality.
Brian Malte, a director of the Brady
Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, said
his groups worries about the availabili-
ty of plastic guns are no reason to hold
up renewal.
The use of 3-D printers to manufacture
guns received heightened attention in
May when Cody Wilson, then a
University of Texas law student, posted
blueprints online for using the printers
to make the Liberator pistol, which he
says he designed. Wilson, founder of
Defense Distributed, a nonprot that
advocates the free distribution of infor-
mation on 3-D printed weapons, was
ordered by the State Department to take
down the instructions after two days
because of allegedly violating arms
export controls, he said.
By then, the plans had already been
downloaded more than 100,000 times
and they remain available on le-shar-
ing websites, he said.
If you want to do this, its plainly
obvious theres no one standing
between you, your computer and your 3-
D printer. Anyone can make this gun,
Wilson said Monday.

OAKLAND San Francisco Bay
Area Rapid Transits two largest
unions filed a lawsuit Tuesday
against the agency, claiming its
board of directors broke state law
when it approved a contract with-
out a key provision.
Members of Amalgamated
Transit Union Local 1555 and
Service Employees International
Union Local 1021 led the suit in
Alameda County Superior Court
less than two weeks after BARTs
board approved a new labor deal
but stripped a Family Medical
Leave Act provision that the
unions and the agencys top nego-
tiators signed off on during con-
tentious talks to end a strike in
October.
The unions say the lawsuit will
not affect train service for the
nations fth-largest commuter rail
service with an average weekday
ridership of 400,000, but theyre
asking the court to force BART t o
honor the full contract the parties
all agreed to. The attorneys say the
BART boards vote is unprecedent-
ed as it cannot cherry-pick which
provisions it wants to honor with
a take-it-or-leave it attitude.
BART ofcials say the family
leave provision had been inadver-
tently included in the tentative
contract due to an error by a tempo-
rary employee, which led the board
to approve the contract, minus the
provision.

BART unions sue over contract

WASHINGTON Seeking to
regroup from his health care laws
disastrous rollout, President
Barack Obama on Tuesday insisted
that the sweeping overhaul is
working and warned Republican
critics that he would fight any
efforts to strip away its protec-
tions.
Were not repealing it as long
as Im president, Obama said dur-
ing a health care event at the
White House. If I have to ght
another three years to make sure
this law works, then thats what
Ill do.
Earlier Tuesday, the administra-
tion released a 50-state report say-
ing that nearly 1.5 million people
were found eli-
gible for
Medicaid during
October. As
website prob-
lems depressed
sign-ups for
subsidized pri-
vate coverage,
that safety-net
program for
low-income people saw a nearly
16 percent increase in states that
have agreed to expand it, accord-
ing to the Department of Health
and Human Services.
The White House is trying to
cast the health care law in a posi-
tive light after the first two
months of enrollment for the cen-
terpiece insurance exchanges were
marred with technical problems.
With the majority of problems
with the sign-up website resolved,
by the accounting of administra-
tion ofcials, Obama and his team
plan to spend much of December
trying to remind Americans why
the administration fought for the
law in the rst place.
We believe that in America,
nobody should have to worry
about going broke because some-
body in their family or they got
sick, Obama said, anked by peo-
ple the White House says have
beneted from the law.
Despite Obamas sunny presen-
tation, officials are furiously
working behind the scenes to rec-
tify an unresolved issue with
enrollment data that could become
a significant headache after the
rst of the year.
Obama: Health care law is working
By Stephen Ohlemacher
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON Government
subsidies to help Americans buy
insurance under the health care
overhaul may be vulnerable to
fraud, a Treasury Department
watchdog warned on Tuesday in the
latest indication that troubles are
far from over for President Barack
Obamas signature legislation.
The rollout of the law has been
hurt by canceled policies and
problems with the federal website
used by people to enroll in health
plans, causing political headaches
for the White House and for
Democrats in Congress. The new
problems concern subsidies that
are available to low- and medium-
income people who buy insurance
through state-based exchanges
that opened in October.
Those subsidies are administered
by the Internal Revenue Service in
the form of tax credits, and thats
where the trouble arises.
The IRS existing fraud detec-
tion system may not be capable of
identifying (Affordable Care Act)
refund fraud or schemes prior to the
issuance of tax return refunds,
said the report by J. Russell
George, the Treasury inspector
general for tax administration.
The IRS reported that the long-
term limitations of its existing
fraud detection system include its
inability to keep pace with
increasing levels of fraud, the
report said.

Obamacare
Editor,
After reading Sue Lemperts column
Young, healthy and uninsured in the
Dec. 2 edition of the Daily Journal, I
can see she is still out in left eld.
I agree with trying to offer afford-
able health insurance to everyone in
this country; Obamacare does not
offer this. If she had really looked
into some of the health plans, she
will see that they are not affordable
and ones that are have very high
deductibles. Some companies have
already dropped some of their
employees because of Obamacare and
Im one of them. Anyone who thinks
that we can nd an insurance plan that
is just as good, or better, has been
hoodwinked.
Im sure Sue Lempert has her health
safety net being Medicare, but not all
of us are at that age. I have a couple
of years to get Medicare and hope to
get insured. You see, Im not young,
healthy and insured. Im a baby
boomer and uninsured because of
Obamacare.
President Obama did not do any-
thing to tackle the problem with our
health care system in this country.
Obamacare will not bring cost down
for anyone and that has to be correct-
ed. If you want socialized health care
maybe one should live in a socialized
country. Im just wondering what
health care plan President Obama
chose for his family from Obamacare.

Presidents Clinton
and Obama on nuclear deals
Editor,
President Clinton once promised
the American people he would negoti-
ate with North Korea and vowed he
would never let them get the nuclear
bomb. Look what happened then.
Now President Obama is appeasing
Irans wish for an end to sanctions
and all they have to do is delay their
quest for nuclear weapons. Its almost
as if he is telling them If you like
your nuclear bombs, you can keep
them.
Scott Abramson

Iran
Editor,
Lets stop playing games and look
at the real world. Your readers who
wish us to perceive Iran as just anoth-
er peace loving country that wants
nuclear power to run its growing
economy take us for fools.
With all the oil that Iran has, why
would they be spending billions of
dollars and sacricing their economy
and citizens welfare from sanctions?
The answer should be obvious. Their
goal is to become a nuclear military
power. With that capability, they can
threaten the entire world just as North
Korea does. Why do two enemies like
Israel and Saudi Arabia fear a nuclear
Iran? Iran has armed Hezbollah terror-
ists in Lebanon and aggravated an
already sectarian conict. She is arm-
ing Hamas in Gaza, causing conict
with Egypt and the Palestinian
Authority as well as Israel. She is
actively assisting the Assad regime in
Syria. Moreover, Iran has declared its
intent to wipe Israel off the map. Iran
has been implicated in the bombing
of a Jewish community center in
Argentina and an assassination
attempt of a Saudi diplomat. Iran is a
bad actor. She is a menace to the
world. Despite having elections she
is a theocracy with the mullahs call-
ing the shots.
So think about this when you see a
letter in the newspaper calling for fair
treatment of Iran. Its not a game
where we have a set of rules. This is a
matter of world security and we can-
not ignore Irans conduct on the world
stage.

Letters to the editor
T
his past Saturday was Small
Business Saturday, an move-
ment sponsored by American
Express to celebrate and promote
small businesses.
The idea, of course, is to highlight
what makes small mom-and-pop busi-
nesses unique and special and to
encourage us to avoid the Internet and
large chain businesses for our holiday
shopping needs.
Its an idea we can support, despite
its obvious ties to a large corporate
credit card company, but one we ques-
tion should have a specic day tied to
it.
Why? Because every day should be
about small businesses. And we dont
just say this because the Daily Journal
is a small, locally-owned business.
OK, maybe a little. But we do have a
large appreciation for locally-owned,
independent businesses not just
because they are like us, but rather
because they are cool.
You can go anywhere in the United
States, the world even, and shop at a
Gap or Ann Taylor. But local shops
only found here in San Mateo County
have many of the same styles and
even items you cant nd anywhere
(or everywhere else). Example:
Downtown San Mateo is known for
its lack of chains and thats because
of its proximity to both the Hillsdale
Shopping Center and Burlingame
Avenue. That has been seen as a hin-
drance, but really, its an asset. There
are a number of unique and interesting
shops with a large variety of hard-to-
nd items found just by walking down
the street. And there are a large num-
ber of restaurants in case you get hun-
gry looking for that perfect gift. So
why just limit the support for small
businesses to this past Saturday? You
can do it every day.
And just to be clear, we are not
bashing the chains at the Hillsdale
Shopping Center or Burlingame
Avenue. Hillsdale is locally owned
and the tax revenue it generates helps
fund city services. Burlingame Avenue
is also a large revenue producer for
Burlingame and that tax money goes
to fund street repairs, libraries, parks
and public safety.
Even the Internet is an option for
local businesses. Most small busi-
nesses have Internet sites you can
visit for convenience and, if the gift
is not quite right, a local storefront
available for exchanges or returns.
So while we hope you got out this
Saturday to support a local business,
we also hope its something you do
all the time. The Internet is conven-
ient, but so is walking to a local shop
and seeing what may pique your inter-
est. You may nd something unique,
support a local business, keep your
tax revenue local and maybe even
meet a cool shop owner who will
remember your face. Maybe even your
name.
And thats worth it right there.
Shop local every day
Holiday karma
T
he more wealth we have, such as friends,
skills, libraries, wilderness and afternoon
naps, the less money we need in order to be
happy. John DE Graaf, author of Afuenza.
Did you see on TV news broadcasts all of the shoppers
who were squeezing into the stores on Black Friday, the
day after Thanksgiving? Like a hungry pack of wolves,
as one commentator described it. Capitalism at its
height, he continued. Credit cards burning hot in their
pockets.
Its obscene how the holiday season has become a shop-
ping orgy. When you think about those who have lost
their jobs, their homes and even some who have to make
do with less Supplemental Nutritional Assistance (food
stamps) because of the ridiculous government sequester, it
boggles the mind that so many others can sashay through
Nordstrom or Walmart purchasing gifts for themselves and
people that have everything without shame or guilt and
without feeling exploited and used by giant corporations
that are only concerned
with padding their bottom
line. Santa Claus has
become their shill and it
seems that many people are
mindlessly caught up in the
hype.
Tension is high! This
year there is less time
between Thanksgiving and
Christmas for shoppers to
spend their money! Heaven
forbid! Stock market ana-
lysts hover over sales
reports like anxious
Scrooges. The spirit of the
season religious or not gets lost in the shufe. A
time traditionally celebrated with warm hearths, warm
hearts, family closeness and love has become an orgy of
consumerism. Corporate interests are thrilled, of course.
What more than a cock-eyed bunch of shoppers excites
them and sends them giggling to the bank? As Piero
Ferrucci wrote in his wonderful book, The Power of
Kindness, many of us have lost contact with our soul and
are eeing toward the chimera of consumerism, or else are
lost in a fog of depression.
There are many gifts that we can bestow upon our loved
ones that cost nothing but contribute greatly to the quali-
ty of life all year long. How about time? If we were to use
the time and energy with our families that is normally
used for shopping and wrapping gifts and searching for
the perfect decorations, think of the possibilities! First,
the decrease in stress would benet everyone. Add more
time to create projects together, contemplate life, play
games or just enjoy each others company.
How do we justify thinking that we are so entitled when
there are many people in this country and the world who
do not have enough food or a decent place to live? How
much stuff do we think we have to have before we feel
secure or satised or superior? All of this sacrice on the
altar of corporate interests is a huge indication of a gnaw-
ing emptiness within those consumers who never seem to
have enough.
As Ferrucci asks: How can we sit down to eat peacefully
knowing that 15 million children die of hunger or malnu-
trition every year? Just think how much good could be
accomplished if most of the money spent for gifts that no
one needs were to be contributed to charities devoted to
improving life for those who have very little! Just think
of how much better the karma of whatever we are com-
memorating if we were to create a way to celebrate or
observe without exchanging material gifts. Few see virtue
in prudence, living simply, sacricing anything for the
good of all or a sense of responsibility to teach our chil-
dren that the good life is not in what you have but in what
you are. Instead, we have self-serving modern vices that
include instant gratication, indulging yourself and get-
ting all you can while the gettings good.
Instead of spending on gifts for those who have every-
thing, wouldnt it make more sense to donate generously
to Second Harvest Food Bank, St. Anthonys Dining
Room, the Philippine Relief Fund or similar? Wouldnt it
be better to use Christmas as an opportunity to teach the
children by example that having everything is not really
what makes for life satisfaction, but sharing what we have
with others who may be in need? Would that the message
of Christmas would revert to that of the old days when
people felt that they were all in this together and we must
do what we can to generate love, compassion, empathy,
etc.
Humility is a precious attitude in times such as ours
when waste is the very basis of economic development,
greed a lifestyle and demand for new privileges a social
deity. Those who make do with what they have are often
considered losers. Yet they are the ones most likely to be
serene and happy. Ferrucci.

Big movers

NEW YORK After eight straight
weeks of gains, the stock market pull-
back long anticipated by investors
may have arrived.
Stocks fell Tuesday, dragged lower
by the Detroit automakers and con-
sumer-focused companies such as
GameStop and Amazon.com. The mar-
ket could be headed for its rst weekly
decline since early October, putting at
risk a remarkable rally that has sent
indexes to record highs.
The declines do not come as a sur-
prise to large investors, many of
whom have predicted a pullback. The
Standard & Poors 500 index has
surged 26 percent in 2013, on track
for its best year in a decade.
If stocks paused, declined or even
entered a correction, a Wall Street
term for when an index falls 10 per-
cent or more, it would be normal after
eight straight weeks of gains.
The markets may have stalled out
here, but that must be taken in the
context of what has been a great year,
said Alec Young, global equity strate-
gist with S&P Capital IQ.
The Dow Jones industrial average
lost 94.15 points, or 0.6 percent, to
15,914.62. The S&P 500 index fell
5.75 points, or 0.3 percent, to
1,795.15 and the Nasdaq composite
fell 8.06 points, or 0.2 percent, to
4, 037. 20.
Companies that depend heavily on
consumer spending had some of the
biggest losses. GameStop, the video
game retailer, sank $1.02, or 2 per-
cent, to $45.95, one of the worst
declines in the S&P 500 index.
Amazon.com fell $7.64, or 2 percent,
to $384.66.
Automakers fell. General Motors
lost 97 cents, or 3 percent, to $38.14.
Ford fell 50 cents, or 3 percent, to
$16.56, despite what auto industry
analysts considered mostly positive
sales reports for November.
The sell-off in auto stocks was a sur-
prise to industry analysts. Chrysler
sales rose 16 percent in November
compared with a year earlier, while
GM and Fords sales increased 14 per-
cent and 7 percent, respectively.
Overall, the industry reported a 9 per-
cent year-over-year sales gain.
Investors are waiting for several
economic reports later this week that
could influence whether the Federal
Reserve will pare back its $85 bil-
lion-a-month bond-buying program.
The program is designed to keep
interest rates low and stimulate the
economy.
When you look at how markets
have performed this year, some
investors may have decided to cash in,
put their feet up and drink eggnog,
said Lawrence Creatura, a portfolio
manager with Federated Investors.
On Friday, the government will
release its monthly job market survey,
one of the most closely watched indi-
cators of the U.S. economy.
Economists expect that employers
created 180,000 jobs last month
while the unemployment rate
remained steady at 7.2 percent,
according to FactSet, a nancial infor-
mation provider.
Investors have seen encouraging
economic news recently. Atrade group
reported Monday that manufacturing
was growing in the U.S. at the fastest
pace in two and a half years. The group
also said factories were hiring at the
quickest rate in 18 months.
A strong economy is good for cor-
porate prots and stocks over
the long term. But if the economy is
getting stronger, it means the Fed
could pull back its stimulus, which has
supported nancial markets. The Feds
huge bond-buying program has been
giving investors an incentive to buy
stocks by making bonds look more
expensive in comparison.
The concern in the near term is
that, since the economic data is pick-
ing up steam, the Fed could pull back
as soon as January, Young said.
Stocks sink as consumer spending worries grow

SAN FRANCISCO Tumblr is where the
Internets cool kids hang out. Thats why
Yahoo paid $1.1 billion to buy the blog-
ging site in one of this years most buzzed-
about deals.
Now, Tumblr is aunting its hipster cre-
dentials with a rst-ever breakdown of the
years hottest trends, topics and celebrities.
The retrospective starts Tuesday at
http://YearinReview.tumblr.com with an
exploration of 20 categories ranging from
the most popular musical groups to the
most interesting architecture of 2013.
Boasting a plethora of images, the review
will continue through December with daily
posts that will culminate on New Years Eve
with the best reworks displays featured on
Tumblr during the year.
Similar end-of-the-year lists are annual
rites at Yahoo, Google and other websites
equipped with search engines that sort
through billions of requests for information
to determine which topics piqued peoples
interests.
Tumblrs musings figure to stand out
because they are drawn from a younger audi-
ence that differs from the more convention-
al crowds that flock to general-purpose
search engines.
More than half of Tumblrs 170 million
users are under 35 years old, a demographic
that has helped turn the service into a free-
wheeling forum filled with provocative
imagery, snarky humor and occasionally
ribald commentary.
The people on Tumblr never cease to
amaze me with their creativity and their wit
and the amount of fun they are having
online, said Danielle Strle, Tumblrs direc-
tor of product for content and community.
There are certain things they are crazy
about that I am sure that a more general
Internet audience is not super nuts about.
Tumblrs eclectic tastes are evident in
some of the categories featured in the ser-
vices year-end roundup. Entire sections
will be devoted to photo bombing, nger-
nail art, unicorns, bacon, pretty colors, stu-
dent loans and the lesbian, gay, bisexual
and transgender communities.
In contrast, the annual lists released by
the mainstream search engines tend to be
more prosaic and predictable recitations
that pore through the most popular celebri-
ties, movies, singers, TV shows, and news
stories.
Tumblr brings hipster twist to year-end lists
By Justin Pritchard
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES A California
woman pleaded not guilty Tuesday to
what is believed to be the rst trafc
citation alleging a motorist was using
Googles computer-in-an-eyeglass.
The device, known as Google Glass,
features a thumbnail-size transparent
display above the right eye.
The technology will not be made
widely available to the public until
2014, but defendant Cecilia Abadie
was one of about 10,000 explorers
who received the glasses earlier this
year as part of a tryout.
Her case touches several hot-button
issues, including distracted driving,
wearable technology that will one day
become mainstream, and how laws
often lag technological develop-
ments.
Abadie was pulled over in October on
suspicion of going 80 mph in a 65
mph zone on a San Diego freeway. The
California Highway Patrol ofcer saw
she was wearing Google Glass and
tacked on a citation usually given to
people driving while a video or TV
screen is on in the front of their vehi-
cle.
Abadie, a software developer and
tech true believer, pleaded not guilty to
both charges in San Diego trafc court.
Her attorney William Concidine told
the Associated Press that she will testi-
fy at a trial scheduled for January that
the glasses were not on when she was
driving, and activated when she looked
up at the ofcer as he stood by her win-
dow.
The device is designed to respond to
a head tilt by waking itself up.
Concidine also said the vehicle code
listed in the citation applies to video
screens in vehicles and is not relevant
to mobile technology such as Google
Glass.
The CHP declined comment on
Concidines assertions.
This has to play out in court,
spokeswoman Fran Clader said.
At the time of Abadies citation, the
agency said anything which takes a
drivers attention from the road is dan-
gerous and should be discouraged.
23andMe faces class
action lawsuit in California
WASHINGTON Genetic testing
company 23andMe is facing a class
action lawsuit alleging that the
Silicon Valley startup misled cus-
tomers about its test kit.
The test is promoted as helping pre-
dict users disease risk based on their
DNA.
The lawsuit, led in U.S. district
court in California last week, comes
days after the Food and Drug
Administration ordered 23andMe to
halt sales of its personalized test, say-
ing the company failed to show that
the technology is supported by sci-
ence.
23andMe sells its $99 test online.
Customers receive a small tube in the
mail, which they return to the compa-
ny with a saliva sample for DNAanaly-
sis.
The lawsuit by San Diego resident
Lisa Casey alleges that the test results
are meaningless.
23andMe said Tuesday that it would
not comment on legal matters.
Hotfile ordered to
pay $80M in copyright suit
WASHINGTON Hollywood stu-
dios have won a copyright case
against Hotle Corp. after a Florida
judge on Tuesday ordered the le-host-
ing website to pay $80 million in dam-
ages.
The court also ordered Hotle to shut
down within 20 days unless the web-
site uses state-of-the-art content iden-
tication and ltering technology to
weed out pirated copies of movies and
other material that users upload.
The judgment, by U.S. District Judge
Kathleen Williams of the Southern
District of Florida, said that Hotle
and its principal, Anton Titov, had
waived their right to appeal.
Motion Picture Association of
America CEO Chris Dodd said in a
statement that the judgment was
another step toward protecting an
Internet that works for everyone.

49ers prepare to
stay composed in
emotional game
By Janie McCauley
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SANTA CLARA The San Francisco
49ers are ready for some serious chatter
coming from that brash, big-talking Seattle
secondary.
And 49ers fullback Bruce Miller insists
cornerback Richard Sherman and the play-
off-bound Seahawks (11-1) have more than
earned the right to speak up on the eld.
So far they have a reason to, Miller said
Tuesday. Theyve played great on defense
and well just have to take
care of that in between
whistles.
The way emotions tend
to run higher than usual
in this heated NFC West,
Miller, tight end Vernon
Davis and their team-
mates are guarding
against getting so hyped
up it hurts the cause. Jim
Harbaugh also appreci-
ates the energy and physical play by his
guys, along with proper celebration on big
plays such as wideout Anquan Boldin ex-
ing his muscles and cheering when he makes
a clutch reception.
It might be the most intense game this
season. I think so, Davis said. Because
those guys, they dont like us and we dont
like them.
Not to mention the Seahawks embarrassed
San Francisco 29-3 in Week 2 at Seattle and
have outscored the 49ers 71-16 over the
past two matchups.
Any time you play a team and you lose,
the next time you face them is denitely a
statement game, Davis said. Not just for
us, but for anybody. So we have to go into
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
Menlo footballs Michele Canali was
recently announced as a 2013 Capital One
Academic All-America First Team College
Division selection in a vote by the College
Sports Information Directors of America.
The Capital on Academic All-America
football team is comprised of student-ath-
letes from the NAIA, Canadian and other
two-year institutions.
To be eligible for Academic All-America
consideration, a student-athlete must be a
varsity starter or key reserve, maintain a
cumulative GPAof 3.30 on a scale of 4.00,
have reached sophomore athletic and aca-
demic standing at his or her current institu-
tion and be nominated by his or her sports
information director.
One of just 24 student-athletes in the U.S.
and Canada to earn a place on the team, the
senior defensive had a tremendously suc-
cessful senior season that included 39 total
tackles and a team-high 7.5 sacks as part of
the 37th best defense in the nation.
His .800 sacks per game were good for a
No. 18 ranking nationally while his 7.5
total sacks placed him at No. 21 in the coun-
try. The Parma, Italy native also led the team
in fumbles recovered (2) and blocked kicks
(1) while helping Menlo to a 5-5 record in
2013.

COSTADO SAUIPE, Brazil The United
States could wind up in a group with powers
Brazil, Italy and the Netherlands after FIFA
tinkered with its format for Fridays World
Cup draw.
The Americans also could be in a Brazil-
Portugal-Netherlands group for next years
tournament in Brazil.
Or they could end up with what would
appear to be a relatively easy pairing with
Switzerland, Greece and Algeria.
FIFAcould have placed France, the lowest-
ranked unseeded European team, into a pot
with Africa and the unseeded South American
teams. Instead, the nine unseeded European
teams will go into a bowl and one will be
selected for that pot at the start of the draw.
FIFAPresident Sepp Blatter said the deci-
sion followed talks with confederation pres-
idents, including Michel Platini, the French
president of Europes governing body.
Blatter sidestepped a question asking him to
explain a procedure that seemingly ignored
FIFAs own precedent and favored France.
Let us (hold the) draw and not let us speak
of teams, Blatter said.
Each group will include a team from each
of the four pots.
Argentina, Belgium, Brazil, Colombia,
Germany, Spain, Switzerland and Uruguay
are the seeded teams and will be in Pot 1.
Chile and Ecuador will be in Pot 2, along
with the selected European team and Algeria,
Cameroon, Ghana, Ivory Coast and Nigeria.
Making its seventh straight World Cup
appearance, the U.S. will be in Pot 3 along
with regional rivals Costa Rica, Honduras
and Mexico, and Asian nations Australia,
Iran, Japan and South Korea.
France, Greece, Italy, the Netherlands and
Portugal will start in Pot 4 along with
Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia, England and
Russia.
No more than one team from a region may
be in the same group, except for Europe,
which may have two teams in a group.
FIFAs World Cup organizing committee
also declined to switch 1 p.m. kickoffs in
Fortaleza, Natal, Recife and Salvador
despite concerns by the international play-
ers union FIFPro over heat and humidity in
tropical areas.
FIFA General Secretary Jerome Valcke
conrmed FIFAs budgeted commitment to
increase World Cup prize money by around
one-third, but the exact breakdown will be
decided later this week. FIFA shared $348
million among the 32 participating federa-
tions in 2010, including a minimum $8 mil-

OAKLAND Billy Beane is busy dealing
in December once again.
In one whirlwind stretch of less than 24
hours, the Oakland general manager pulled
off a trio of trades with
three different clubs and
upgraded Oaklands
bullpen in the process.
Beane believes his over-
all roster might be even
better heading into
2014, with the front
ofce determined to keep
the low-budget club a
contender after consecu-
tive AL West crowns.
In the time Ive been here, we won the
West in 12 and Billy didnt stand pat,
manager Bob Melvin said Tuesday. He
always looks to improve the team.
First, the As acquired AL saves leader Jim
Johnson from Baltimore late Monday as the
replacement for All-Star closer Grant
Balfour. Then on Tuesday, the two-time
defending division champions traded for
San Diego right-handed reliever Luke
Gregerson in a swap that sent outelder Seth
Smith to the Padres.
That move became a viable option after
outelder Craig Gentry was acquired from
Texas earlier Tuesday with top outfield
prospect Michael Choice going to the divi-
sion rival Rangers.
Oakland also is waiting on lefty Scott
Kazmirs physical to nalize a $22 million,
two-year contract.
Its fun. Weve always had a pretty frater-
nal group, Beane said. We had some spots
we needed to ll. I think we addressed the
areas we needed to and in some cases I think
maybe even upgraded, particularly when
you look at the bullpen with the addition of
both Jim Johnson and Luke Gregerson. We
all feel real good about where we are. The
next step is putting it on the eld.
Its been a busy couple of days for Beane
and his staff to say the least, building the
2014 team through calculated additions and
subtractions via trade. That has long been
Beanes offseason approach and he
insists even with all of these moves he
might not be done.
Baseballs annual winter meetings begin
Monday in Lake Buena Vista, Fla.
I dont think its in our interest to sit
here and take the winter off, Beane said.
Theres a lot of winter left and a lot can
happen.
While the As have their starting outeld
returning in center elder Coco Crisp, left
fielder Yoenis Cespedes and right fielder
Josh Reddick, Gentry provides an option
off the bench and creates depth. The
returnees have dealt with injuries in recent
seasons.
Melvin and Beane have watched the versa-
tile Gentry for years. They also received
right-hander Josh Lindblom in the deal.
Texas gets Choice and minor league ineld-
er Chris Bostick.
The deal to acquire Johnson came togeth-
er pretty quickly, Beane said, noting he
was a pitcher on the teams radar.
As you can imagine, it was a pretty fre-
netic pace and we have a lot of satisfaction
we were able to pull everything together,
Beane said.
Just in the short time since he switched
teams, Johnson noticed how active Beane
and his staff have been.
Its a team thats competitive and theyre
making more moves to be competitive,
Johnson said. Theyve been busy and
theyre trying to build some excitement.
Im excited to start a new chapter in my
career and personally.
Melvin is thrilled to add Johnson as his
closer while being afforded the luxury of
keeping his other important bullpen
options Ryan Cook, Sean Doolittle, Dan
Otero and Jerry Blevins in their regular
roles.
Thats another key acquisition for us
with Balfour going into free agency,
Melvin said of Johnson. We did it with a
proven guy, with a track record who has 101
saves the past two years. We could have
done that with any number of guys, but this
allows us to keep these major pieces in
roles theyve succeeded in getting us to
the ninth inning.
AL West champion As make 3 trades in 2 days

After dropping just one set through ve
previous postseason games, Menlo dropped
two sets last night to go the distance. But
the Knights showed up with authority in
Game 5 by jumping out to a 3-0 lead. Sonora
rallied to tie it 3-3, but Menlo setter Elisa
Merten answered right back with a tremen-
dous hook-style kill to take the lead, and
the Knights would not again relinquish it.
Menlo won the match on a left-side kill
by senior Maddy Frappier, who took her cue
after a dig by Maddie Huber, and Mertens
70th set of the match. Frappier got air and
red short to spark the celebration.
That same spot has been working for us
the entire night down the line, a little
more towards area six, Frappier said. So, I
just decided to swing hard because at that
point theres nothing else you can do. You
just have to kind of go for it.
Sonora (31-7) proved a worthy opponent
though. The Wildcats made very few mis-
takes, and forced Menlo to beat them.
Sonora showed up at net with 22 match
blocks, doubling that of Menlos 11
blocks.
We had trouble blocking them, and we
had to compensate, and I think we really
pulled together as a team, Dressel said. We
swung as hard as we possibly could and we
did what we had to do to get the job done,
even though we werent always blocking at
the net. They had a good blocking team, and
I think it was a very competitive front-row
match.
In Game 1, Sonora stormed out to a 10-4
lead before Menlo rallied from behind. The
Knights played without senior opposite
hitter Lida Vandermeer in the set, but her
replacement, freshman Jessica Houghton,
showed up with some clutch defensive digs
to help get Menlo rolling. Menlo went on
an eight-point run before taking the lead on
a hook-style kill by Huber. With the score
later tied 12-12, Huber red another one of
her set-high seven kills to give the Knights
a lead from which they would not look back.
In Game 2, the Knights again found them-
selves trailing. With Sonora holding an 11-
6 lead, Menlo played catch-up before nally
evening the score at 17-17. Wi t h
Vandermeer back on the oor, the 6-foot
senior scorched a right-side kill to give the
Knights an 18-17 edge. But Sonora rallied
back and took advantage of a pair of Menlo
violations, including a backrow-attack vio-
lation to end it, evening the match at 1-1.
In Game 3, Menlo hitter Maddie Stewart
continued a steadily exceptional perform-
ance from the left side. The sophomore
tabbed 17 match kills, including ve in the
pivotal third set. Stewart gave the Knights
an early 3-2 edge, and they led the rest of the
way to cruise to a 2-1 match lead.
In Game 4, Sonora came right back. The
Wildcats tallied eight blocks in the set,
with junior opposite Angela Gardella show-
ing up in the clutch. Gardella tabbed a block
to tie it at 10-10, then a kill to tie it 11-11.
Sonora junior Shannon Friend followed by
ring one of her team-high 17 match kills
to give the Wildcats the lead for good to tie
it at 2-2.
Sonora played really well, Menlo head
coach Steve Cavella said. They were com-
peting really hard. They played some great
defense. They also blocked really well. ...
Its our rst ve-game match of the season.
I dont know if it was the best time to have
it, but at least we came out on top.
Huber fired a match-high 19 kills for
Menlo, while Vandermeer tallied 16 kills
and Dressel had 14 kills. Dressel had one of
her most sensational performances of the
postseason thus far, totaling a .382 hitting
percentage and three blocks.
Obvisouly when Morgan Dressel is on,
it turns the light on for the rest of our
offense, Frappier said And [with the rest
of our team] its kind of a snowball effect. I
denitely think that when our main offen-
sive players are on, everyone else will be
on. And hopefully during state they will
be.
Menlo girls volleyball appeared in four
state championships from 1999-2002, but
the program has yet to win the state crown.

Sports Brief
Warriors return home and
rally from 27 down for win
By Michale Wagaman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
OAKLAND Klay Thompson
made four 3-pointers in the fourth
quarter to fuel an improbable
comeback, Stephen Curry added a
pair of shots from beyond the arc
down the stretch and the Golden
State Warriors rallied from 27
points down in the second half to
beat the Toronto Raptors 112-103
Tuesday night.
Thompson finished with 22
points and seven assists, nearly
matching Currys 27 and 10. David
Lee added 18 points and eight
rebounds for the Warriors.
Toronto led 75-48 with 9:20 left
in the third quarter and took an 18-
point lead into the fourth.
Golden State made eight 3s over
the nal 12 minutes, the last com-
ing from Harrison Barnes with
47.2 seconds remaining to give
the Warriors a 109-103 lead.
DeMar DeRozan had 26 points
to pace Toronto, which lost its
fourth straight. Kyle Lowry added
20 points and nine assists despite
being knocked out of the game
briey following a collision with
Golden State center Andrew Bogut.
Coach Mark Jacksons team was
down and nearly out before storm-
ing back.
The Raptors scored 65 points in
the first half and were scoring
almost at will against a Golden
State defense that had allowed 100
points or more in six straight
games. Toronto made it seven
despite scoring just nine points
over the nal 8:45.
That cold snap opened the door
for the Warriors biggest come-
back of the season and extended
the Raptors losing streak in
Oakland to nine games.
Curry nearly brought his team
back in record-breaking fashion.
He made three 3-pointers and
needs three more to break Jason
Richardsons franchise record of
700.
He got plenty of support drain-
ing 3s.
Thompson went 6 of 12 from
beyond the arc, Barnes added two
and Draymond Green had one.
Barnes nished with 19 points,
while Jermaine ONeal added 11
points and eight rebounds off the
bench.
The Warriors were sloppy on
both ends of the court in the rst
quarter when the Raptors built a
17-point lead.
Rudy Gay and Lowry had seven
points apiece as part of a 22-5 run
by Toronto. Lowry, who had 11
points in the opening 12 minutes,
capped the streak with a buzzer-
beating 3-pointer from 26 feet.
Barnes helped Golden State chip
away at the lead. He scored nine of
the teams first 11 points then
added three free throws to pull the
Warriors within 48-39.
Torontos Steve Novak answered
with three 3s in 97 seconds, Lowry
added a driving layup and Toronto
took a 65-48 halftime lead.

SPORTS
this game playing hard, playing fast, and
initially we have to make some noise right
away. Thats going to be the challenge for
us. We have to go in and play this game
the way its supposed to be played.
That means avoiding mistakes such as
the nine penalties for 85 lost yards San
Francisco committed in beating St. Louis
on Sunday.
The reigning NFC champion Niners (8-
4) still have plenty of work to do this
month to secure their own playoff posi-
tioning, and a win against Seattle would
help make a statement that San Francisco
is still in the mix to chase another Super
Bowl berth.
You definitely want to come out and
play well, at home, and show everybody
what we can do against a really good
team, Miller said. Right now, our goal is
to finish out the year and keep winning
games and get to the postseason. Nothing
extra on this one because its Seattle. Its
just the next game.
Enough of the 49ers caught glimpses of
Seattles 34-7 Monday night rout of New
Orleans to know a tall task awaits them
this weekend. At 5-1 on the road, the
Seahawks have already matched the fran-
chise record also done in 1984 and 2005
and now will look to better that mark.
The crowd noise at Candlestick Park
might not be on the same meter as
Seattles record-setting 12th man, yet San
Franciscos players are counting on that
home-field advantage in what might be the
final meaningful NFL game during the sta-
diums farewell season. Arizona visits for
a Monday night game Dec. 23, but the
Niners are unlikely to host a playoff game
as they have in each of the past two
Januarys.
You just have to just keep your compo-
sure and know what were trying to get
done, and thats win football games,
Miller said. Were not trying to win
tough-guy battles in between the whistles.
Were trying to win em during the play.
At this stage of the season, players
come to expect plenty of trash-talking and
hard hits in all phases.
Yeah, youll see pretty much any-
thing, Davis said. You never know what
youre going to get.
NOTES: DeMaurice Smith, executive
director of the NFL Players Association,
visited the locker room and spoke to sev-
eral players. ... Left tackle Joe Staley, who
was undergoing treatment on his injured
right knee, declined to provide an update
on his status. Im not talking about it,
he said. ... Davis still has just a few abra-
sions left after a painful, prolonged tack-
le in the crotch area from St. Louis S T. J .
McDonald. No apology yet from
McDonald not that Davis expects such a
gesture. Hes a young guy, Davis said.
Its all good. Its one of the them things,
man.

TORONTO Midway through the game,
the San Jose Sharks felt the Toronto Maple
Leafs gaining momentum. Atimeout helped
turn things around.
Mike Brown had a goal against his former
team and Joe Thornton scored on a 5-on-3
power play, leading the Sharks past Toronto
4-2 Tuesday night for their sixth straight
win.
I think we maybe got a bit lackadaisical
at the start of the second period for about 10
minutes and they really gave it to us,
Thornton said.
The 10-minute mark it kind of switched.
We had a timeout and we kind of ipped it
back on them, he said.
Brad Stuart and Logan Couture scored for
the Sharks, winners of nine of 10. Phil
Kessel netted his 200th career goal and
Mason Raymond also scored in Torontos
fth straight loss.
Brown opened the scoring midway
through the rst period, tipping a shot from
defenseman Jason Demers past Leafs goal-
tender James Reimer.
The Sharks had a two-man advantage for
76 seconds when Jay McClement and Mason
Raymond were penalized 33 seconds apart.
And Joe Pavelski found Thornton with plen-
ty of room at the side of the net, and San
Joses captain made it 2-0 at 14:31.
Disciplines a huge part, Raymond said.
Youre killing penalties, youre not play-
ing offense and youre playing in your own
zone, so were kind of shooting ourselves in
the foot there.
Sharks goalie Antti Niemi made 28 saves.
The Leafs, meanwhile, had three shots in
the rst 1:31, then went 17:17 without one.
With Dan Boyle in the penalty box for
interference, Raymond scored off the rush
2:44 into the second.

Okene, dressed only in boxer shorts, recited

(about 100 feet) is a sign of divine deliver-
ance. The other 11 seaman aboard the Jascon
4 died.
Divers sent to the scene were looking only
for bodies, according to Tony Walker, project
manager for the Dutch company DCN Diving,
who were called to the scene because they
were working on a neighboring oil eld 120
kilometers (75 miles) away.
The divers had already pulled up four bodies.
So when a hand appeared on the TV
screen Walker was monitoring in the res-
cue boat, showing what the diver in the
Jascon saw, everybody assumed it was
another corpse.
The diver acknowledged that he had seen
the hand and then, when he went to grab the
hand, the hand grabbed him! Walker said in a
telephone interview Tuesday.
It was frightening for everybody, he said.
For the guy that was trapped because he did-
nt know what was happening. It was a shock
for the diver while he was down there looking
for bodies, and we (in the control room) shot
back when the hand grabbed him on the
screen.
On the video, theres an exclamation of fear
and shock from Okenes rescuer, and then joy
as the realization sets in. Okene recalls hear-
ing: Theres a survivor! Hes alive.
Walker said Okene couldnt have lasted
much longer.
He was incredibly lucky he was in an air
pocket but
he would
have had a
limited time
(before) ...
he wouldnt
be able to
breathe any-
more.

Protestors wave ags and shout slogans outside parliament in Kiev, Ukraine.
By Maria Danilova
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
KIEV, Ukraine Ukraine appeared mired
in a political standoff Tuesday, as massive
protest rallies showed no sign of letting up
and the government warned of its capability
for force after a failed attempt to take it
down.
The opposition lost its attempt to topple
the government by parliamentary means
when a vote of no-condence failed by a
sizeable margi n.
President Viktor Yanukovych left on an
ofcial visit to China, where he is expected
to sign an array of economic agreements,
his ofce said. He is expected to be gone
until Friday and the prospects for a deni-
tive development in the next few days seem
small.
Protest leaders vowed to continue their
demonstrations, which have brought as
many as 300,000 people to the streets of
Kiev, in the largest outpouring of public
anger since the 2004 Orange Revolution.
Soon after Tuesdays vote, about 5,000
protesters gathered outside the presidential
administration building, then moved to the
capitals central Independence Square, where
the crowd grew to more than 10,000, accord-
ing to police estimates.
The opposition called for the parliamen-
tary vote over Yanukovychs shelving of a
long-anticipated agreement to deepen polit-
ical and economic ties with the European
Union and the violent tactics used by police
to disperse demonstrators protesting the
decision.
Yanukovych has sought to quell public
anger by moving to renew talks with
Brussels. The government appears to recog-
nize that the police violence may have gal-
vanized long-brewing frustrations rather
than stie protests.
But while Prime Minister Mykola Azarov,
attending the parliamentary session with
his Cabinet, apologized for the violence, he
also made a tough vow.
We have extended our hand to you, but if
we encounter a st, I will be frank, we have
enough force, he said.
There is a question as to how long pro-
testers determination will last as winter
sets in and the holiday period approaches,
noted Adrian Karatnycky, a Ukraine analyst
at the Atlantic Council think tank.
In addition to Yanukovychs trip to
China, these things suggest Yanukovych
is playing for time, he said.
The no-condence measure got the sup-
port of 186 members of the Verkhovna
Rada, 40 shy of the majority needed. Even if
it had passed, Yanukovych would have
remained president, but the prime minister
and Cabinet would have been ejected.
In turn, Vitali Klitschko, the super heavy-
weight world boxing champion and leader
of the opposition party Udar, vowed that the
action would continue.
We will peacefully blockade the govern-
ment building and not allow them to work,
he told demonstrators at Independence
Square after the no-confidence motion
failed.
Oleg Tyahnybok, leader of the nationalist
Svoboda party, accused Russia of having
an interest in a situation where more and
more blood ows in Ukraine.
Massive protests resume after
Ukraine government wins vote

TOKYO In what was supposed to be a
warm reunion, Vice President Joe Biden and
Chinese President Xi Jinping meet instead
Wednesday in a climate fraught with tension
over an airspace dispute that has put Asia on
edge. Aday before seeing Xi, Biden stood in
Japan and publicly rebuked China for trying
to enforce its will on its neighbors, escalat-
ing the risk of a potentially dangerous acci-
dent.
Although Biden had hoped to focus on
areas of cooperation as the U.S. seeks an
expanded Asia footprint, Chinas declaration
of a new air defense zone above disputed
islands in the East China Sea has pitted the
U.S. and China against each other, creating a
wide gulf that Biden will seek to bridge dur-
ing his two-day trip to Beijing.
Despite Washingtons preference not to
get involved in a territorial spat, concerns
that Chinas action could portend a broader
effort to assert its dominance in the region
has drawn in the U.S., putting Biden in the
middle as he jets from
Japan to China to South
Korea on a weeklong tour
of Asia.
We, the United States,
are deeply concerned by
the attempt to unilaterally
change the status quo in
the East China Sea,
Biden said after meeting
in Tokyo on Tuesday with
Japanese Prime Minister
Shinzo Abe. This action has raised regional
tensions and increased the risk of accidents
and miscalculation.
To that end, Biden said he would raise
those concerns with Chinas leaders with
great specicity during his Beijing visit.
Although the U.S. has repeatedly said it
rejects the zone, Biden has avoided calling
publicly for Beijing to retract it, wary of
making demands that China is likely to
snub. Rather, the U.S. hopes that with
enough pressure, China will refrain from
strictly enforcing the zone, essentially nul-
lifying it for practical purposes.
For Biden in China, tense
reunion with Xi Jinping

ABCs The Chew biting into its 500th episode
By Frazier Moore
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK When ABCs The Chew premiered in
September 2011, it begged the question: Was it biting off
more than a show like this could chew?
Here was a rollicking weekday feast devoted to every-
thing food not just cooking but home entertaining, din-
ing out, healthy diets and a satisfying culinary lifestyle
overall. And it came with a menu of ve count em, FIVE!
co-hosts. Too many cooks in that kitchen?
Well, maybe not. On Tuesday in its regular 1 p.m. EST
time slot, The Chew marks its 500th edition with a spe-
cial hour as its co-hosts savor their chat-and-chew success.
The Chew was never about food, it was about these ve
people, says executive producer Gordon Elliott before a
recent taping at the shows Manhattan studio.
Roughly 59 minutes later (to keep the energy owing,
each show is taped in front of a studio audience from start to
nish, with no retakes or down time slowing the pace), the
hosts Mario Batali, Michael Symon, Carla Hall, Clinton
Kelly and Daphne Oz relocate to a nearby conference
room, with a reporter in tow:
What makes the show work, says Symon (a star of Food
Networks Iron Chef America and owner of six restau-
rants), is that it literally feels like all of us are hanging
out, cooking some food and telling stories. Were busting
each others chops, but we all know weve got each others
back.
And by now, it happens naturally, adds Batali (the co-
owner of 17 restaurants nationally as well as a Food
Network star and best-selling author). We all know when
its each persons turn to talk, and we know well all get our
turn.
We always tell each other before the show starts, Party
in the kitchen, says Kelly (who was also a host of TLCs
recently concluded What Not to Wear). Thats what we
want: for people to come into our kitchen and have a good
time.
When The Chew was rst announced, naysayers warned the show was a mistake. Now the show is on its 500th episode.

Who doesnt love chocolate trufes?
They are the essence of chocolate, and
a sure-re mood enhancer. Pop even
one into your mouth and see if you
dont get happy.
Given the richness of a chocolate
trufe a blend of chocolate, sugar
and cream its nice that chocolate
has been found to be good for us. Still,
assuming you wanted to jettison some
of the calories in this treat without sac-
ricing a molecule of its lush avor,
where would you start? Cutting the
chocolate or sugar would be a bad idea.
Both are needed. But how about the
cream?
The trick to cutting cream is that you
dont want to sacrice the creaminess
of the trufe in the process. The solu-
tion? Chestnuts.
This brilliant work-around was dis-
covered years ago by Sally Schneider,
the author of a great healthy cookbook
called The Art of Low-Calorie
Cooking. In fact, this recipe is my
adaptation of Sallys recipe for choco-
late trufes. She found that roasted and
pureed chestnuts provide a super-
creamy texture for treats such as truf-
es.
And because chestnuts dont actually
taste like much, they dont compete
with the trufes chocolate essence.
Added benefits? Unlike most nuts,
chestnuts are low in fat and high in
complex carbohydrates.
Of course, chestnuts or at least
those roasted on an open re have
gured in Christmas lore for ages (and
got a boost when Nat King Cole
recorded his hit version of Mel Tormes
The Christmas Song in 1946). And
indeed, during winter you still could
buy that treat from street vendors in
New York when I was growing up.
Though street vendors selling roast-
ed chestnuts have disappeared from
21st century New York, peeled and
roasted chestnuts are now widely avail-
able in grocers everywhere during the
holiday season. Thats what Ive used
in this recipe. But be sure to properly
simmer the nuts in water as directed in
the recipe. This guarantees theyll
puree smoothly. You dont want chest-
nut chunks in your trufes.
Youll notice instant espresso in the
list of ingredients. Its there to ampli-
fy the chocolate avor while adding a
hint of coffee avor. But you can leave
it out if you dont like coffee.
Likewise, I suggest adding a couple of
teaspoons of any of several different
liquors, all of which pair up nicely
with chocolate. But feel free to swap in
any of your favorites, or none at all if
you prefer. Either way, youll be
happy, guaranteed.

Bourbon mixes it up: New
styles, flavors and brands
By Michelle Locke
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Picking a bourbon isnt the one-two-three choice it used
to be. Theres been a boom in brands, especially from
small, premium producers, not to mention a ood of new
styles. Will you go for a barrel-aged version? Honey a-
vored? How about a bourbon thats been aged at sea?
No doubt about it, bourbon is branching out.
The biggest thing right now is people are looking to
stand out, says Andrew Abrahamson, general manager of
the Seven Grand Downtown LAwhiskey bar. Before it was
all about brand loyalty. Now, the consumer base is looking
for something new, something different and something
really cutting edge.
By law, bourbon, a type of whiskey, must be produced in
the United States, made of a grain mix of at least 51 percent
corn, distilled at less than 160 proof, made without addi-
tives save for water to reduce proof where necessary, and
aged in new, charred white oak barrels. Aminimum of two
years aging is required to call the liquor straight bourbon.
Its at the barrel level that a lot of the innovation is occur-
ring.
Some of the extra touches producers are trying include
selling single-barrel bourbons, made as the name suggests
from a single barrel rather than being a blend of many. A
popular way to enjoy this trend is to visit the distillery and
pick out your own barrel. Abrahamson does this at Seven
Grand, sending the staff out to pick their favorite barrels.
The result is a slight price break and a chance to offer cus-

We have ve distinctly different charac-
ters, versus a single-host show, notes Hall
(a memorable past competitor on Bravos
Top Chef and the owner of an artisan
cookie company). That means we have ve
different ways of doing things. So we are
saying to the viewer, If YOU have a sixth
way, thats OK, too. We empower the view-
ers to have their own perspectives.
The ensemble setup gives us all an
opportunity to do some learning on TV, as
well as some teaching, says Batali.
Item: Hall adores a certain trick for peel-
ing lemons she learned on the air from
Symon. And Kelly condes, I didnt like
quinoa until Daphne (the Chew resident
health-and-wellness guru) kept shoving it
down my throat. I actually like quinoa now.
Each hour has a theme (not just broad
ideas like how to x the perfect turkey but
also conceptual side dishes like Picnic
Essentials or Leftover Makeover) that
the shows producers cook up.
Symon: They give us themes, and then
we give them our recipes.
Batali: Along with our thoughts on each
segment.
Hall: We make each idea work, based on
our experiences.
But Ive said no to a segment, Kelly
points out. It just wasnt in my wheel-
house, and I didnt want to pretend to do
something that I wouldnt actually be doing
at home.
Manscaping? cracks Batali.
When The Chew was rst announced,
naysayers warned its hosts they were mak-
ing a mistake.
Abunch of my friends were saying, This
is career suicide, Batali recalls with a
laugh, and I was like, I think I could prob-
ably still make it as a cook. Now we know
unmistakably, indubitably, that we have the
best jobs in food programming.
Ahundred percent! Hall chimes in.
Without a doubt, says Kelly. Plus they
each have four new pals: Away from the
show, we really do hang out. You can look at
our phones and see how much we text and
email each other.
While the pace of The Chew has eased a
bit from its hyperactive early days, each
hour has plenty going on.
But as Batali has learned, you can say a
lot without too many words or having to
rush if youre editing in your mind: What
exactly is my message here?
My message, says Hall, is that home
cooking is the end-all and be-all, and it
doesnt require chefs skills or chefs ingre-
dients. Once youre comfortable with a
basic dish and a basic technique, the poten-
tial variations are huge.
Whats the connection between What
Not to Wear and The Chew? poses Kelly.
Theres a very strong common denomina-
tor: to be the best version of you, whether
its with the clothes you put on your body or
the food youre putting in your body. To be
conscious in every aspect of your life.
Im just saying, This is simple to make
and your guests will love eating it, sums
up Batali. I think thats what were all sell-
ing on The Chew all the time: Yes, you
can and Why dont you?

Makes 20 trufes
5.2-ounce package roasted and peeled
chestnuts, medium chopped
3/4 cup water
1/3 cup low-fat evaporated milk
4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, medium chopped
1 teaspoon instant espresso powder or 1
tablespoon instant coffee
Pinch of table salt
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
2 teaspoons Tia Maria, Kahlua, Baileys,
brandy or rum
1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
In a small saucepan over medium heat,
combine the chestnuts and water. Bring
to boil, then reduce the heat to maintain
a simmer, cover and cook until the
chestnuts are very tender and all the
water has been absorbed, about 30 min-
utes.
Add the milk and heat the mixture until
it just comes to a simmer. Remove the pan
from the heat, add the chocolate, then
recover the pan. Let stand off the burner
until the chocolate is melted, about 3 to 4
minutes. Stir and transfer to a blender
along with the espresso powder, salt, corn
syrup and liquor. Blend until very smooth.
Transfer to a bowl, cover tightly with
plastic wrap and chill until very firm, at
least 3 hours. Form the mixture into small
balls (about 2 teaspoons each) and roll the
balls in the cocoa powder until they are
coated, shaking off the excess. Chill until
ready to serve. Will keep, refrigerated, for 2
weeks.

tomers something unique.
Another, smaller, trend is the practice of
nishing off standard bourbons in different
types of barrels, like Angels Envy, which
is finished in ruby port wine casks.
Meanwhile, Makers Mark has Makers 46,
which is aged in barrels containing seared
French oak staves. And Woodford Reserve
has its Double Oaked bourbon, which is
made as a standard bourbon, then put into a
second barrel.
Distillers are really pushing them-
selves, says Abrahamson.
And, like vodka, bourbon has been get-
ting in on the avor craze with honey prob-
ably the most popular. But other avors are
available, too, such as the black cherry
infused bourbon from Red Stag by Jim
Beam.
The growing popularity of bourbon is not
an overnight thing, points out Mike Veach,
bourbon historian at the Filson Historical
Society in Louisville, Ken., and author of
Kentucky Bourbon Whiskey: An American
Heritage.
Several factors are at play, he said via
email, including the growth of super-premi-
um brands as well as the craft distilling
movement, increased interest in bourbon
tourism, and the role of social media in pub-
licizing bourbons in ways that werent pos-
sible 25 years ago.
In 2012, nearly 17 million 9-liter cases
of bourbon were sold in the United States,
generating more than $2.2 billion in rev-
enue for distillers, according to the Distilled
Spirits Council of the United States, with
the strongest growth at the high end of the
market.
Trey Zoeller, founder of the small premi-
um producer Jeffersons Bourbon, has seen
that trend rst hand.
We grew 70 percent last year and we
could be growing at that pace again this
year if we didnt have out-of-stock situa-
tions, which is mainly due to our growth,
he says.
Zoeller has been trying new things with
his product, including putting barrels on a
friends ship and having them aged at sea for
four years. The result, called Jeffersons
Ocean and released in very small quantities,
was a darker, more complex spirit as sugars
caramelized in the barrel and the liquor
sloshed around, in constant contact with the
wood, he said. Now, he has ships going
around the world including a batch that went
in and out of the Panama Canal.
Bourbon has changed a lot in the past
decade, and so has its audience, says Zoeller.
Theres so much information so readily
available, he says. They know how much
goes into it. They know about the different
char levels in the barrels, they know about
aging it in different locations, they know
what types and grains and percentages. Its
amazing. Its fun.

Leaving grapes to freeze on the vine seems
like a recipe for stone cold failure. But under
the right conditions, the grapes that come in
from the (extreme) cold can produce delicious
dessert wines that are a cool favorite for holi-
day pairings.
What to call it? It depends on where you
are. Its called eiswein in Austria and
Germany, where it began; icewine, one word,
in Canada, where its become something of a
signature wine; and ice wine, two words, in
the United States, where vintners in New York
state and few other regions are experimenting
with the hard-to-make, easy-to-drink product.
Whatever you call it, interest in the wine is
heating up as producers experiment with new
grapes and new winemaking styles how
about some sparkling ice wine with those
gingerbread men?
The icewine category in Canada is contin-
uing to evolve with new and innovative prod-
ucts entering the market each vintage, says
Franco Timpano, director of marketing for
Inniskillin, a leading producer of ice wine,
selling roughly 5,000 9-liter cases annually
in Canada and about the same amount in the
United States. Were seeing icewines made
from varieties that we havent typically
seen.
Typically, ice wines are made from riesling
and cabernet franc, as well as Vidal, a winter-
hardy French-American white hybrid grape
developed by Jean Louis Vidal in the 1930s.
But lately, Timpanos been seeing ice wines
made from merlot, sauvignon blanc and
cabernet sauvignon. Inniskillin has made a
sparkling Vidal icewine and this year came
out with a sparkling cabernet franc icewine
available mostly in Canada and at duty-free
stores.
Making ice wine is not for the faint of
heart, points out Steve DiFrancesco, wine-
maker at Glenora Wine Cellars and Knapp
Winery and Vineyards in New Yorks Finger
Lakes wine-growing region.
First, the grapes are left on the vine for
months after regular harvest is over. The
leaves are gone and vines are dormant, pro-
viding little protection, and though the
grapes are bundled in netting to ward off the
advances of nature winged and clawed, they
are still vulnerable. The benet to all this
grape hardship is that the sugars and other
dissolved solids dont freeze, but the water in
the grape does, which means when the frozen
grapes are pressed they produce a more con-
centrated, sweeter juice.
DiFrancesco likes to pick at around a chilly
13 degrees Fahrenheit. Hes also made wines
with grapes frozen post-harvest. Wines made
that way cant be labeled as ice wine in the
U.S. or Canada; though they may have the
word iced on the label.
Ice wines are a cool favorite for holiday menus
Wines from articially frozen grapes are a technically sound product,while naturally frozen wines
have more richness and depth, but possibly more funkiness, too.

Sundheim starting in 1998, having
taken the job to support her family
after the assassination of her father
and attempted assassination of her
brother, Sundheim said.
She was overqualied but desperate
to care for her family, he said.
She was also pursuing a Ph.D. in
geophysics at Stanford University.
Because of her nancial circumstances,
Sundheim provided his services on a
volunteer basis.
In spring 1012, however,
Rasolovoahangy netted millions of
dollars in cash and stock in a business
agreement with an Australian company
to develop hundreds of millions of bar-
rels of oil in Madagascar. She is the
founding president of Petromad
Limited and is reportedly the first
native Madagascan to win a bid to
search for oil in the country.
According to the suit, the windfall
prompted her to run for president but
Sundheim told her she had been out of
the country so much for so long she
would not have the political base to
win even if she overcame other legal
issues of getting on the ballot.
It was a close question as to whether
she would qualify, Sundheim said.
Rasolovoahangy reportedly said she
could not wait until the next election.
If they want to go ahead, my role is
to support them throughout,
Sundheim said of his advisory posi-
tion.
Despite worries about his own phys-
ical safety, Sundheim agreed to serve
as her senior advisor at the rate of
$10,000 in August 2012 and thereafter
for $20,000 per month which would be
deferred until the campaign raised
money. If the campaign did not raise
the money, Rasolovoahangy would
reportedly pay it from her personal
account.
Among Sundheims services was
the hiring of Matthew Down, senior
strategist for former president
George Bushs 2000 and 2004 elec-
tions and a television analyst. Dowd
was to be paid $35,000 per month
but has still not received the funds,
according to the suit.
The initial goal was securing the
presidency but the longer-term plan
was making a difference in the lives of
people, Sundheim said.
In April 2013, she continued spend-
ing more than $100,000 per month on
the campaign using her own funds
while not paying those who worked
for her, the suit stated.
The suit claims Rasolovoahangy
was obligated to pay her debt at the
time she was declared ineligible or the
Oct. 25 election, whichever came rst.
She keeps promising she will pay
the money owed and giving repeated
assurances, Sundheim said.
Sundheim said the situation is par-
ticularly painful because they had an
established relationship prior to the
business arrangement and he had pre-
viously helped her when she was in
need.
I never would have thought Id be
talking to a paper about her not paying
me, he said.
The breach of contract suit seeks the
money owed, interest and legal costs.
A case management conference is
scheduled for March.

LAWSUIT
hand to yarn bomb in some holiday
cheer.
I think people will view this as
something very unique. It kind of dif-
ferentiates us with dcor from other
cities and points out some of the vital-
ity of the downtown area, said John
Schrup, president of United American
Bank.
Collaborating with the city and pub-
lic on installation projects highlights
the San Mateo art scene and raises
awareness about the talent that resides
within the city, Watt said.
Its unbelievable how many people
are getting involved it enhances the
neighborhood and people feel a sense
of community from it, Watt said.
Becky Sankauskas is a San Mateo res-
ident whos kept up with Watts creative
installations over the past year. She
passed by yesterday and was thrilled to
watch them yarn bombing and for the
chance to speak with the artist.
Youre making our day. I love watch-
ing the process, Sankauskas told
Watt. The whole city is getting a
cheer-up.
The public appreciates these com-
missioned installations that unexpect-
edly pop up around downtown. Plus,
with the rise in public approval, the
city is investing more in the artistic
community and deterring against graf-
ti, Watt said.
Whats so cool about it is its so old
school, its urban grafti but its not
a couple of clowns with a spray can,
its well thought out and it helps with
the beautification of the city,
Sankauskas said.
The DSMA is pushing forward with
sprucing up the streets Saturday from 9
a.m. to noon with a group of volun-
teers from College of San Mateo join-
ing for a service project to clean win-
dows, pick up litter and gussy up the
streets for the holiday season, Jessica
Evans, executive director of the DSMA,
wrote in an email.
Word of Watts unique projects and
their ability to connect to the commu-
nity led the Monterey Bay Aquarium to
reach out, Watt said. Its considering
commissioning her to yarn bomb squid
trees in San Francisco to advertise for a
summer exhibit, Watt said.
Its something people really
respond to, they like to interact with
it, Watt said. Not everybody gets to
say that about their art. Its been really
rewarding.

Watt visit knitsforlife.com. For more

Since 2011, the board is required by
state law to issue its top 500 list each
quarter along with an interactive map
displaying the location and amounts
owned by the delinquent accounts. The
board must also provide the informa-
tion to state agencies issuing taxpay-
ers occupational, professional and
drivers licenses and exclude delin-
quent taxpayers from contracting with
the state.
The 2013 fourth quarter delinquen-
cies, including the two San Mateo
County accounts, total $501.7 million
in taxes and the newly added owe a
combined $30.9 million.
Of these, $95.8 million are jointly
owned liabilities which mean individu-
als associated with a corporation, part-
nership or company might be person-
ally responsible for the past-due taxes.
While the two new county business-
es debt may seem hefty, they are
nowhere near the states largest recent-
ly added debtor. The Ontario-based
company Fiesta Motors owes more
than $4.8 million in taxes, according
to the boards list.
Already on the top 500 list is
Stephen D. Field, Inc. which does
business as General Appliance &
Kitchens Burlingame. The Burlingame
company owes $630,093.33 dating
back from April 25, 2008. Stephen
Squires, doing business as Squires Slot
Machines in San Mateo, owes
$435,830.02 dating from Aug. 19,
2004.
Since the program began, the Board
of Equalization has recouped $9.93
million from 117 taxpayers of which
97 are paying in installments and 20
have fully paid off their debt.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SEOUL, South Korea An 85-year-old
U.S. veteran being held in North Korea spent
his war years there in one of the Armys rst
special forces unit, helping a clandestine
group of Korean partisans who were ghting
and spying well behind enemy lines.
Now South Koreans who served with
Merrill Newman, who is beginning his
sixth week in detention, say their unit was
perhaps the most hated and feared by the
North and his association with them may be
the reason hes being held.
Why did he go to North Korea? asked
Park Boo Seo, a former member of unit
known in Korea as Kuwol, which is still
loathed in Pyongyang and gloried in Seoul
for the damage it inicted on the North dur-
ing the war. The North Koreans still gnash
their teeth at the Kuwol unit.
Some of those guerrillas, interviewed this
week by the Associated Press, remember
Newman as a handsome, thin American lieu-
tenant who got them rice, clothes and
weapons during the later stages of the 1950-
53 war, but largely left the ghting to them.
Newman was scheduled to visit South
Korea to meet former Kuwol ghters follow-
ing his North Korea trip. Park said about 30
elderly former guerrillas, some carrying
bouquets of owers, waited in vain for sev-
eral hours for him at Incheon International
Airport, west of Seoul, on Oct. 27 before
news of his detention was released.
Newman appeared over the weekend on
North Korean state TV apologizing for
alleged wartime crimes in what was widely
seen as a coerced statement.
Park and several other former guerrillas
said they recognized Newman from his past
visits to Seoul in 2003 and 2010 when
they ate raw sh and drank soju, Korean
liquor and from the TV footage, which
was also broadcast in South Korea.

The White House urged North Korea to release Merrill Newman, an 85-year-old U.S. veteran
of the Korean War who has been held in North Korean custody since last month.
