The holiday shopping season started
as a marathon, not a sprint.
More than a dozen major U.S. retail-
ers stayed open for 24 hours or more
on Thanksgiving Day through Black
Friday, and crowds formed early and
often over the two days.
About 15,000 people waited for the
agship Macys in New York to open
at 8 p.m. on Thanksgiving. Long
checkout lines formed at the Target in
Colma, Calif., on Friday morning.
And by the time Jessica Astalos was
leaving North Point Mall in
Alpharetta, Ga., after a six-hour buy-
ing binge that started on
Thanksgiving, another wave of shop-
pers was coming in about 5:30 a.m. on
Friday.
You just have to be out in the midst
of all of it, said Ricki Moss, who hit
stores near Portland, Ore., at 5:30 a.m.
on Friday. Its exciting.
This year may cement the transfor-
mation of the start of the holiday
shopping season into a two-day affair.
For nearly a decade, Black Friday had
been the ofcial start of the shopping
season between Thanksgiving and
Christmas. It was originally named
Black Friday because it was when
retailers turned a prot, or moved out
of the red and into the black. Retailers
opened early and offered deep dis-
counts.
But in the past few years, store

Local retail stores joined the

A break from
the daily grind
San Carlos family takes year
trip to go around the world
By Kevin Thomas
DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT
It took a leap of faith for Gigi Luke of San Carlos, her hus-
band Bob Luke and their two boys Jordan and Justin to break
the monotony of the daily grind, reconnect with family and
to live out their dream of traveling around the world in a
year.
Gigi Luke worked for a high-tech company as a senior
manager for 15 years, and Bob Luke was a teacher and
school administrator for 30 years, so they both lived life by
a schedule. Taking care of two boys ages 10 and 14 also
added extra responsibility. Family has always been para-
mount for the Lukes, so when Bob Luke lost his mother to a
stroke in 2010 and Gigi Lukes mothers health began to
taper off from Alzheimers disease, the couple felt com-
pelled to seize the opportunity and embark on an adventure
because they recognized that life is too short.
They were hardly remembering everything with which
their days were lled, and their kids were growing up before

Everythings coming up roses in down-
town San Carlos.
Actually, more like impatiens, petunias
and some yet-to-be determined ora.
Thanks to two community-driven efforts
in the last weeks, the citys hanging bas-
kets and planters are lled with owers,
greenery and bulbs ready to bring a little
beauty to downtown visitors.
In mid-November, the group San Carlos
Together collected plants and donations to
keep the Laurel Street hanging baskets
blooming all year long between San Carlos
Avenue and Arroyo Street. They have an
internal water drip system but planting and
maintenance are left to volunteers.
Former mayor Tom Davids said the group
recently raised $2,000 which is sufcient to
get through this years plantings
although he said more donations are always
welcome.
We wouldnt turn anyone back, he said.
To call Davids hands-on in the effort is an
understatement. He watches over the 82 bas-
kets, tends to about 40 in his backyard as
need be and replaces them as necessary.
Thats what happens when you raise your
hand at the right time, he joked.
As soon as Christmas is over, hell be at
it rotating them again.
The Civic Garden Club of San Carlos also
added color to the four planters at Cherry and
Laurel streets as part of its quarterly change-
out, Davids said.
Bulbs planted now mean owers in the
spring and summer, he said.
The real surprise, he said, is what those
owers will turn out to be.
Along with the violas and pansies,
Davids said one volunteer offered up 50
unidentied bulbs for planting.
We have no idea what they are, so it will
be a surprise, he said.
Joanne Daniels, of the 40-plus member
club, said the bulbs owner suggested there
might be daffodils but that she and the oth-
ers are looking forward to nding out.
Both planting campaigns are completely
community supported by volunteers and pri-
vate donations. The effort may have started
with the city paying for the rst budget but
the onus shifted, Davids said.
I think they decided if the community
likes it, they are going to pay for it and now
weve got a good run and it keeps building,
he said.
Giving back to the community and creat-
ing something beautiful just makes you feel
good, not to mention helping get the word
out about the clubs, Daniels said.
We are the City of Good Living and one
of our goals as a club is to contribute and add
enjoyment to the residents and visitors,
she said. Were helping and having a good
time doing it.
The garden club is even starting plants
that can be later transferred into the baskets
maintained by San Carlos Together.
The group wants to add more baskets and
Davids feels the more, the merrier.
People really respond. You go out early
in the morning and see people coming by
enjoying it, he said. Its really a commu-
nity project.

Local brief

BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE
Wildlife advocates, a state senator
and the mayor of Half Moon Bay will
gather Sunday to celebrate a new law
that protects mountain lions and cubs
that wander into human territory but
pose no imminent threat to human life.
SB 132, authored by Sen. Jerry Hill,
D-San Mateo, requires state wildlife
wardens to use non-lethal measures,
such as capture, anesthetizing or
removal, when a mountain lion does
not endanger public health or safety.
The law goes into effect on Jan. 1.
As before, animals that do jeopardize
human life can be shot by state
Department of Fish and Wildlife war-
dens or local ofcers authorized by the
department.
The new law also allows wardens to
call on veterinarians, scientists, other
government agen-
cies, zoos and non-
prot groups to aid
in carrying out an
alternative to killing
a wandering moun-
tain lion.
Its a humane
solution to a poten-
tial community
problem, Hill said
this week.
Hill will be joined by Half Moon Bay
Mayor Rick Kowalcyzk, representa-
tives of the Sacramento-based
Mountain Lion Foundation and other
supporters in the celebration at 11 a.m.
Sunday at Mac Dutra Park in Half Moon
Bay.
The Dec. 1 date for the event was
intentionally chosen, Hill said, to
coincide with the anniversary of the
shooting by wardens of two mountain
lion kittens that were hiding under the
deck of a house on the outskirts of Half
Moon Bay on Dec. 1, 2012.
The state wardens were summoned
after citizens notied the San Mateo
County Sheriffs Ofce that the kittens
were spotted in various locations
beginning on Nov. 30.
At the time they were shot, the kit-
tens, which could not be seen clearly in
the darkness under the deck, were
believed by the wardens to be about
nine or 10 months old and weighing 25
to 30 pounds each.
A Department of Fish and Wildlife
spokeswoman said department staff
believed the animals behavior, which
included having seemingly blank
stares and remaining immobile when
the wardens and a sheriffs deputy tried
to shoo them away with strobe lights,
was abnormal and therefore threaten-
ing.

SAN JOSE Encrypted email,
secure instant messaging and other
privacy services are booming in the
wake of the National Security
Agencys recently revealed surveil-
lance programs. But the ood of new
computer security services is of vari-
able quality, and much of it, experts
say, can bog down computers and isnt
likely to keep out spies.
In the end, the new geek wars
between tech industry programmers on
the one side and government spooks,
fraudsters and hacktivists on the
other may leave peoples PCs and
businesses computer systems
encrypted to the teeth but no better
protected from hordes of savvy code
crackers.
Every time a situation like this
erupts youre going to have a frenzy of
snake oil sellers who are going to
throw their products into the street,
says Carson Sweet, CEO of San
Francisco-based data storage security
firm CloudPassage. Its quite a
quandary for the consumer.
Encryption isnt meant to keep out
hackers, but when its designed and
implemented correctly, it alters the
way messages look. Intruders who
dont have a decryption key see only
gobbledygook.

Police helicopter crashes into Glasgow pub roof
LONDON A police helicopter crashed Friday night
through the roof of a popular pub in Glasgow, sending injured
revelers eeing through a cloud of dust in what witnesses
called a scene of horror. Scotlands leader warned that fatalities
are likely.
Images on local television showed what appeared to be the
helicopters propeller sticking out of the pubs roof. Rescue
workers swarmed the scene. First Minister Alex Salmond con-

by Islamists defying a draconian new law restricting protests.
Authorities are seeking to put down unrest by both
Islamists and secular activists as a government-appointed
assembly tries to nish a nal draft on an amended constitu-

democracy advocates for increasing powers of the military and

Around the world
By Karl Ritter
STOCKHOLM A comet that
gained an earthly following because of
its bright tail visible from space was
initially declared dead after grazing the
sun. Now, there is a sliver of hope that
Comet ISON may have survived.
New images being analyzed Friday
showed a streak of light moving away
from the sun that some said could indi-
cate it wasnt game over just yet.
It certainly appears as if there is an
object there that is emitting material,
said Alan Fitzsimmons, an astronomer
at Queens University in Belfast,
Northern Ireland.
Basically a dirty snowball from the
fringes of the solar system, scientists
had pronounced Comet ISON (EYE-
sahn) dead when it came within 1 mil-
lion miles (1.6 million kilometers) of
the sun Thursday.
Some sky gazers speculated early on
that it might become the comet of the
century because of its brightness,
although expectations dimmed over
time. But it wouldnt be all bad news if
the 4.5-billion-year-old space rock
broke up into pieces, because some
scientists say they might be able to
study them and learn more about
comets.
The European Space Agency, which
had declared ISONs death on Twitter
late Thursday, was backtracking early
Friday, saying the comet continues to
surprise.
Comet ISON was rst spotted by a
Russian telescope in September last
year, and became something of celes-
tial ash in the pan this week for its
vivid tail visible by the naked eye
and compelling backstory of
impending doom.
Did Comet ISON survive? Scientists see tiny hope

their eyes. They agreed it was time to take a
breather and recognize what life hds to offer.
I dont want to have any regrets, said Gigi
Luke. I dont want to get older and wish that
I had done these things with my kids when I
was younger.
The couples goal was to inspire their chil-
dren through this experience by witnessing
the cultural and historical connections of the
world.
It took two years for the actual idea to
develop into a plan. On a Sunday night, the
couple was watching a program about surfers
nding the best wave, when they both talked
about life issues and loss. They yearned for an
escape. Gigi Luke remembers saying to her
husband, Wouldnt it be fun to not have a
care in the world, and to do whatever your
heart says to do?
He replied, Yeah, it would.
From that moment, the couple agreed to g-
ure out the adventure. That idea emerged into a
nomadic tactic in which they would move
from place to place. They knew that they
would like to y into a country that was acces-
sible to London because they wanted to attend
the 2012 Olympics, which was a lifetime
dream. Gigi Luke soon found a ight to
Sweden which seemed to be a good choice,
because Bob Luke knew a family there from
when he was an exchange student. They con-
tacted the family in Sweden to ask if they
could visit, and the family said absolutely.
Gigi Luke then booked a one way ticket to
Stockholm, Sweden, and tickets to the
Olympics to see Taekwondo, tennis at
Wimbledon and mens volleyball. The Lukes
began to create a preliminary itinerary and
exible budget. They wanted to live like
locals and tour without relying on travel
guides, just themselves and the small network
of friends overseas.
Managing reality
Before the Lukes could turn their dream into
reality, they had to manage their reality. What
would they do with their kids and school,
their house for a whole year and their pets?
These were serious questions that actually
motivated them to come up with immediate
solutions. The Lukes ended up renting out
their house and left pets with friends. Taking
their children out of school seemed like a
larger challenge, but Gigi Luke had con-
dence in her husband, a former teacher. He
would be able to guide the boys academically.
They could also rely on online resources for
math, social studies and grammar. The couple
also felt every day of their adventure would
create a distinct curriculum for their sons to
learn, a hands-on perspective of the world for
an entire year. On June 26, 2012, The Lukes
left San Carlos, content on creating lasting
memories for their family and broadening
their sons horizons.
Departure
The Lukes rst destination was Stockholm,
Sweden, where they connected with old
friends. From there, they traveled to Norway
for eight days and saw the famous fjords. The
youth hostels in Norway provided adequate
accommodations for the family while sight-
seeing. They returned back to Sweden and
enjoyed shing and waterskiing on the Baltic
Sea. After Sweden, the family ew to London
for 10 days for the Olympics.
Gigi Luke used to work in London and was
able to arrange a place to stay with close
friends. They attended a folk festival along
the coast, along with the patriotic celebra-
tion of the 2012 Olympics where they attend-
ed some of their favorite events. England pro-
vided their children with literature, history
and art lessons. They read e-books and studied
some of the authors, artists and musicians
from the places they visited. They even read
Shakespeare and saw a Shakespeare play in
Stratford-Upon-Avon. They stayed in
Cotswold at Gigi Lukes friends house for
three weeks, and connected with history at
Stonehenge.
Next stop Paris
After enjoying London, the Luke family
took the Eurostar train to Paris. They were
fortunate enough to stay with friends for four
months. France became home base where
they lived as part of the community, even put-
ting their children into soccer and tennis
camps. France was another destination where
their family could connect with history. They
learned about medieval history and art in the
caves of the Vezere Valley, along with art
from Vincent van Gogh in the nearby gal-
leries and museums. Their son Jordan, a musi-
cian and athlete, even had the opportunity to
play his guitar on the streets in France.
Jordan and Justin also enjoyed running on the
beaches of Normandy while learning about
World War II.
We really wanted our children to under-
stand history and connect our history as
Americans, but also to the cultures that we
were visiting, said Gigi Luke.
On to Italy, Germany and Amsterdam
From France, The Lukes traveled to Austria
where they stayed for a week. They enjoyed
skiing and relaxing before they embarked on
their trek to Italy. In Italy, they traveled from
the north to the south to Positano and the
Amal coast. In Lucca, they stopped at an
Agriturismo where they learned about the
environment and how to make pasta, pick
olives and press them into oil. They reached
Rome and visited several museums and the
ruins in Pompeii, following the path of the
Romans from France to Italy.
The Lukes network of friends continued to
contribute to their adventure, as they traveled
to Germany. Fortunately, Bob Luke was an
exchange student some 30 years ago and kept
in touch with the family that hosted him. That
family still owns a dairy farm and welcomed
the Lukes with open arms. Holland was the
next destination where they stayed in
Amsterdam. The Lukes were trying to parallel
their traveling course with what they were
studying and teaching their children about
World War II and its impact. They also visited
the Anne Frank House in Amsterdam which
correlated with the events of D-Day.
We wanted to show our sons how small the
world really is in history, said Gigi Luke.
Leaving Europe, on
to Asia, then back home
They left Holland and headed back to Paris
in the winter for a brief stay to visit friends
that had traveled from California. Their exi-
ble and uid adventure continued as they ew
from London to Singapore.
Gigi Luke had a friend from California liv-
ing in Singapore which became their home
base in Asia. It was spring, so the host fami-
ly along with their children had time off.
Both families coordinated a trip to Sri Lanka
where they stayed for eight days. Here, the
accommodations were a bit more exotic. They
slept in mud huts, tree houses and a colonial
house that was owned by a tea plantation
owner. Their adventure included a safari, a tour
of the highlands, beaches and tea planta-
tions.
After Sri Lanka, the Lukes went back to
Singapore for a few days and then ew to Bali
for three and a half weeks. They stayed in sev-
eral different locations, but their favorite
place to stay was outside of Ubud, which is
the spiritual center of Bali. Here, the family
found a bed in breakfast to stay at located in a
rice eld. While in Bali, The Lukes met a cou-
ple, Wayan and Putri, who became their
hosts. Their hosts invited them to a village
temple ceremony honoring 220 days. The
Lukes wore traditional saris and colorful, dec-
orative hats becoming completely immersed
in the culture.
We were honored. It was very spiritual. We
didnt take this as a tourist thing, said Gigi
Luke.
They were the only non-Balinese family in
attendance. The host family took them to
lunch and also gave them a tour of the rice
elds. The Lukes also visited the Green
School in Bali, a holistic learning center that
celebrates the Earth. The Lukes asked their
host Wayan if there was anywhere that Jordan
and Justin could learn about local art. He took
them to the local carvers and a master carver
taught the children how to carve masks which
are used in ceremonies and also sold to
tourists. The next day, the Lukes were asked if
they wanted to go to the silver town where
they make silver jewelry. Here, Jordan and
Justin were taught by a master silversmith
how to smith silver. That day was a special
experience for the children and the family
because the skills they learned werent from a
class. These skills were taught by individuals
who were willing to lend their expertise.
After the adventures in Bali, they went back
to Singapore for two weeks. At this point of
their journey they were trying to gure out the

Keep Michaels Arts
and Crafts in San Mateo
Editor,
I recently learned that the Delaware
Avenue Michaels is seeking to move
to the old Borders location at 2925 S.
El Camino Real in San Mateo.
As a Burlingame resident and avid
paper-crafter, I wholeheartedly sup-
port the move. I shop at Michaels
about once a week, and when big
projects come up, sometimes more
often. I know many friends who do
the same, and would nd it very
inconvenient to drive to Redwood
City or Colma for our crafting and
baking needs. There is no other store
in the mid-Peninsula that provides
the variety and prices that Michaels
does.
I am hopeful that the San Mateo
City Council will approve the new
Michaels location at 2925 S. El
Camino Real.

Coveredca.com will save me
more than $100 per month
Editor,
I signed up for 2014 health insur-
ance today on Californias market-
place, coveredca.com, on behalf of
myself, my wife and my two children.
No tax credits, but I will save over
$100 per month by switching to a
different insurance company.
Such a switch would have been all
but impossible without guaranteed
issue, which for decades has been the
norm for employer-provided insur-
ance and Medicare (and AWOL from
the individual marketplace). Thanks,
Obamacare!

Editor,
I admire Christopher P. Conways
courageous letter about the illegal
guy heckling President Obama in San
Francisco last week (letter to the edi-
tor, Oh no he didnt in the Nov. 27
edition of the Daily Journal). It was
offending to see our president being
heckled and having to justify the law-
ful proceedings he is trying to follow.

San Mateo
District Five
Editor,
Sue Lemperts column Lets
Celebrate Election Day (Nov. 4 edi-
tion of the Daily Journal) sees three
years into the future. Unfazed by for-
midable statistics in District Five of
San Mateo County, she predicts that
the winner of the 2016 supervisors
seat will be David Canepa.
Her analysis weighs the prospects
of three future candidates and their
chances to succeed Adrienne Tissier.
They are David Canepa, Michael
Guingona and Sal Torres all incum-
bent Daly City councilmen. Guingona
is Filipino American, Torres is
Mexican American, Canepa is white.
The racial makeup of the districts
population is 52 percent Asian, 18
percent Hispanic, 23 percent white
and 4 percent black. The vast majori-
ty of the Asians are Filipino
Americans.
Ms. Lempert concludes that despite
the puny 23 percent share of the pop-
ulation, whites will be able to elect
Canepa as District Five supervisor to
succeed Tissier. That conclusion is
based on past experience that shows
the apathy of minorities toward the
electoral processes. But past perform-
ance does not guarantee the same
results for the future. The winds of
change have come with the victory of
Measure B.
As the result of the 2010 census,
the racial minorities of San Mateo
County became aware that they com-
prise 58 percent of the countys popu-
lation. Measure B won 58.5 percent
of the votes despite the vehement
opposition of four incumbent super-
visors and U.S. Rep. Jackie Speier,
D-San Mateo. Is that a statistical
uke or an indication that minorities
have nally awakened?
Measure B got on the ballot
because of a lawsuit against the coun-
ty contending violations of the
California Civil Rights Act.

A
s it does each year, a bill to
ban plastic bags in
California will almost cer-
tainly come before the Legislature in
the next session. Each year, under
heavy lobbying by the makers of
such bags who say the bill will
kill jobs and wreak other forms of
havoc the Legislature has folded.
State Sen. Alex Padilla, D-Pacoima,
whose bill in the most recent session
failed by a narrow margin, has indi-
cated that he plans to try again.
California has a chance to do things
differently this time, without the end-
less back and forth about whether the
bans effectively reduce the trash that
nds its way into giant patches of
oating plastic in the oceans, and
without disputed claims that
California companies will go under.
Because this time, it has the opportu-
nity to replace conjecture with facts.
Close to 90 cities and counties in
California have passed bans on plas-
tic bags. Once the ban takes effect in
the city of Los Angeles, at the start of
the new year, such bans will cover a
third of the states population.
Usually, the bans allow customers to
purchase a paper bag for 10 cents or
so; Padillas bill would have done that
as well. This means that there is now
enough information to study, in
robust and real-life ways, whether
fewer bags are found on the beaches,
an indicator of how many make their
way into the ocean. Have cities and
counties lost any jobs as a result of
bag bans? How many?
We actually prefer fees on both
plastic and paper bags. They have
proved effective where they have been
tried theres simply a mental barri-
er to paying a nickel for a bag and
they give consumers more conven-
ience and choice. But a ban on plastic
bags appears to be the next best
choice. It has been our belief that
banning the imsy carryout bags with
handles will reduce the environmental
toll on the ocean without signicant-
ly harming employment. (Other plas-
tic bags, such as those used for pro-
duce or the ones that protect newspa-
pers from rain, would not be affected.)
But we are willing to be persuaded
otherwise by conclusive data that
show plastic bag bans do more harm
than good. So should industry. Most
important, so should lawmakers in
Sacramento.
A chance to settle plastic bag ban debate
Hospital consortiums
drive health care costs
By Tony Favero
I
n 2009, President Obama stated There have been
reports just over the last couple of days of insurance
companies making record prots, right now, and
At a time when everybodys getting hammered, theyre
[insurers] making record prots, and premiums are going
up. Whats the constraint on that? Such are the prevail-
ing political diatribes directed toward a convenient scape-
goat, the health insurance industry,
which succeeds only in shooting the
proverbial messenger. Example: Blue
Cross executives understood quite clear-
ly those politicians demonize insurers
and venerate hospitals as Blue Cross
Blue Shield of Massachusetts unsuc-
cessfully fought raising rates by a
newly merged hospital entity. Prot s
for health insurance companies have
remained relatively stable at around 5 percent for numer-
ous decades, while newly merged hospital monopolies
increase fees with escalating prot s.
The average U.S. hospital stay of ve days costs
$18,142, whereas in the developed world the cost is
$6,222. The supposition here is that the extra monies
provide for high-tech advantages not utilized in Europe.
Studies reveal this as incorrect; American hospitals sim-
ply charge higher sums because they can. MD Anderson
Cancer Center in Houston charged an uninsured patient
$283 for a chest X-ray it would have billed Medicare $20,
$15,000 for blood tests that cost a few hundred dollars and
so on. Hospitals expect no payment of such overcharges
but claim unpaid balances for PR and tax purposes. This
cancer center in 2010 recorded a prot of $531 million.
Hospital consortiums remain unmotivated to develop
free-market solutions encouraging lower costs, as normal
businesses would; but instead besiege Congress with lob-
byists to escalate government subsidies. It is no revela-
tion that the American Hospital Association fervently
supported Obamacare. These hospitals will be the single
largest recipient of the trillions in new spending resulting
from Obamacare. Increasing taxes proved politically easi-
er than confronting the AHA, which spent nearly $300
million since 1998 on lobbying alone.
To promote leverage against private insurers, hospitals
utilize consolidation to create regional monopolies. In
disparate sectors of the economy, antitrust laws are usual-
ly employed to restrain such monopolistic formations.
Such market concentration is measured by regulators by
means of the Herndahl-Hirschman Index, or HHI. HHI is
determined by calculating market share of all players in a
given market, squaring each market share percentage and
adding up the total. Example: Amarket of three airlines,
two with 40 percent each and one with 20 percent yields
an HHI of 3,600 (twice 1,600 plus 400). U.S. Department
of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission guidelines
deem any HHI above 2,500 to be highly concentrated
and subject to regulatory investigation. From 1993 to
2008, no hospital merger was prohibited despite an aver-
age HHI of 3,261. Such elevated HHI indexed hospitals
outcharged their below average HHI brethren by 44 per-
cent.
Most hospitals are nonprot establishments, but such
status only impedes distribution of earnings to owners or
shareholders; while allowing executives to receive gener-
ous salaries and stockpile cash for expansion and
improvements. One McKinsey study revealed that the
nations 2,900 nonprot hospitals exceed prot margins
of the 1,000 for-prot hospitals. Such hospital mergers
include acquisition of private physician practices to pro-
mote control and higher fees of patients with private
insurance. Obamacare effectively restrains free enterprise
solutions. Section 6001 of the Affordable Care Act forbids
the building of new physician-owned hospitals if those
hospitals accept Medicare patients; a crucial restriction
exploited by Congress to acquire support of the AHAfor
Obamacare.
Apparent solutions to this burgeoning unrestrained
affair include antitrust proceedings against hospital merg-
ers, repealing Obamacare restrictions on physician-owned
hospitals and allowing Americans to be in charge of their
own health care dollars to lower costs opposed to third-
party payment.

NEWYORK The stock market z-
zled Friday at the end of a holiday-
shortened trading day, but still logged
its longest streak of weekly gains in a
decade.
The Standard & Poors 500 index
ended down one point, or 0.1 percent,
to 1,805.81. The Dow Jones industrial
average slipped 10 points, or 0.1 per-
cent, to 16,086.41.
Investors watched for early trends in
holiday sales as the busiest shopping
day of the year, Black Friday, got
underway. Retailers were one of two
industry groups in the S&P500 to rise.
Stocks overall have surged this year
as the economy maintains a slow but
steady recovery and corporations
keep earnings growing. Demand for
stocks also has been bolstered by
Federal Reserve policies that have
held down interest rates, making
bonds less attractive investments
than stocks.
Stocks rose for most of the day
Friday, but petered out in the last half
hour of trading. The New York Stock
Exchange and the Nasdaq closed early,
at 1 p.m. Eastern Time, and activity
was lower than average a day after
Thanksgiving. Thin trading can lead
to sudden swings in markets.
Although the S&P 500 and Dow
slipped, the Nasdaq composite rose 15
points, or 0.4 percent, to end at
4,059.89. The index has surged 34 per-
cent this year, more than the other two
indexes.
And even though the S&P 500 eased
Friday, it still rose for an eighth
straight week, its longest stretch of
weekly advances in a decade.
The broad stock index saw two of its
10 industry groups rise. One of them
was consumer discretionary compa-
nies as investors hoped for improved
holiday sales.
More than a dozen major chains
opened on Thanksgiving Day and
planned to keep their doors open
through Friday, the traditional start to
the holiday shopping season. Crowds
formed early and often throughout the
two days.
Investors will be following sales
trends closely to get a read on the
health of retailers, as well as the wider
economy. Consumer spending is a crit-
ical component of the U.S. economy.
Retail sales are expected to rise 4
percent to $602 billion during the last
two months of the year, according to
the National Retail Federation. Thats
higher than last years 3.5 percent
growth, but lower than the 6 percent
pace from before the recession.
But sales could come at the expense
of prots, analysts expect, as retailers
are likely to use more discounting to
draw in customers.
Shares of EBay, Amazon and Best
Buy all advanced. EBay rose $1.22, or
3 percent, to $50.52, making it the
second-biggest gainer in the S&P 500
index.
The early signs of retail trafc are
encouraging, but its still very early,
said Paul Mangus, head of equity
research and strategy for Wells Fargo
Private Bank.
The S&P 500 index has surged 26.6
percent this year, propelling it to a
string of record highs. If its gain
holds, it would be the strongest year
for the index since 1998, when it rose
26.7 percent.
November is typically a strong
month for the stock market, and this
year was no exception. The S&P 500
ended the month with a gain of 2.8 per-
cent, the ninth month this year that
the index has advanced.
Returns for the month rank as the
third best for the Dow and the S&P
500, according to the Stock Traders
Almanac, which has analyzed data
going back to 1950.
An unexpectedly robust jobs report
gave stocks a lift at the start of the
month, and strong corporate earnings
reports for the third quarter helped
maintain the momentum.
Almost all of the companies in the
S&P 500 have reported their third-
quarter earnings.
S&P 500 gains for eighth straight week

NEWYORK Here today, gone in weeks
pop-up shops and temporary stores are
back for the holiday season.
At Christmas Lights Etc.s Atlanta show-
room, the public gets to shop for about
month-and-a-half, browsing the high-end
Christmas trees, lighting and other holiday
decorations. The temporary store pulls in
additional sales and the company nds its
good marketing for its core business of sell-
ing online and to commercial and wholesale
customers.
The yearly sale draws families from far
and wide. Some drive five hours to see
Christmas trees as tall as 25 feet (customers
can order taller trees). Workers clean, fresh-
en the paint and bring in new inventory for
their holiday guests.
If customers have a good experience
here, like the product, like the people,
theyll come back next year when they need
lights or a tree and theyll recommend you
to their friends, says marketing director
Hillary Zody.
The sale at Christmas Lights Etc., is one
of many temporary stores that open during
the holidays. These shops, often called
pop-ups sometimes produce extra
income, but small business owners increas-
ingly use them as promotional tools and
test labs for merchandise. Manufacturers,
designers and online retailers use them to
decide whether to open an actual store.
STARTUP STRATEGY
Apop-up store was part of the startup plan
for Zady, an online clothing and home
goods retailer that launched in late August.
Owners Maxine Bedat and Soraya Darabi
chose a high-prole location, in the Delta
Airlines terminal at New Yorks LaGuardia
Airport. The store operates from Nov. 4
until Jan. 4. They wanted to get feedback
about their merchandise, which includes
$395 sweaters and $225 jeans.
We have all sorts of metrics to see what
customers are doing on the website, but
nothing compares to actually seeing them
interact with our products, Bedat says.
So far, theyre getting food feedback. Its
too soon to tell now if the season will be a
success, but if it is, Zadys owners say
theyll consider more pop-ups, and perhaps
a permanent store.
VERIFYING INSTINCTS
Janet Holian opened a pop-up in Boston
to see if Gemvara, her online custom jewel-
ry business, would succeed with a physical
location. The shop opened in a vacant store
on Nov. 3 and will operate until Feb. 15,
longer than most pop-ups, to take advan-
tage of Valentines Day.
I wanted to see whether people needed to
actually touch or feel the jewelry or meet
us, Holian says.
Her instincts were right. Women want to
see the merchandise and meet the people
selling it. Men who are shopping for jewel-
ry that can cost in the thousands of dollars
want to be sure theyre buying from some-
one reputable.
BRAND BUILDING
Jeanne Chinn chose dog-friendly Century
City Mall in Beverly Hills, Calif., for a
kiosk for the upscale dog accessories she
designs. Chinn, who sells carriers, coats,
beds and toys to retailers and online,
opened the kiosk Nov. 18 near the malls
dog park and will be there until Dec. 31.
Im trying to capture holiday sales and
make people aware of the brand, Chinn
says. Her Chihuahua, Mr. Trufe, is by her
side during 12-hour days.
Chinn is also getting more visitors to her
website. She credits that uptick to being in
the mall. One customer bought a dog T-shirt
at the kiosk, then looked at her website and
returned to the mall to buy a bag.
TAKING TURNS
Retailers are rotating through pop-up
shops at the Alki Arts Gallery in downtown
Seattle. Each week, nine merchants will set
up shop for seven days in space paid for by
American Express and Delta Air Lines.
Susan Wheeler is selling antiques and vin-
tage clothing this week. Shes hoping the
pop-up will introduce her three-year old
store, Susan Wheeler Home to new cus-
tomers.
Linda Walsh, who has owned Clementine,
a West Seattle store, since 2006, will run
her temporary shop from Dec. 4-9, selling
womens clothes and accessories. Her
inventory includes $475 sweaters and $350
tops.

Dream season ends
JULIO LARA/DAILY JOURNAL
A dejected Robby Baumgarten walks off the Burlingame football eld one last time in the Panthers 41-21 loss to St. Ignatius Friday night in CCS.
By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The dream season for the
Burlingame High School football
team has ended.
And once again, a team from the
WCAL has proven to be the
Panthers worst nightmare.
After going 11-0, winning a
division title for the rst time in
11 years, capturing another Paw
and earning the No. 1 seed in the
Central Coast Section Division III
bracket, the boys from
Burlingame have plenty to hang
their hats on for 2013. But unfor-
tunately, all feelings of success are
currently halted after the Panthers
41-21 defeat at the hands of St.
Ignatius a West Catholic
Athletic League team that came in
with a 3-8 record.
This marks the third straight
time a WCAL team has knocked
the Panthers out of the playoffs.
The Wildcats were the beneciar-
ies of a couple of huge plays that
swung the game completely in
their favor. And unfortunately for
the Panthers, they didnt have the
appropriate answers to those big
plays especially in a second
half that saw St. Ignatius outscore
Burlingame 20-7.
The Panthers season ends with
an appearance in the CCS
Division III seminal nal and an
11-1 record.
S.I. is a great team, said

Sports Brief
Strong start lifts Sharks over Blues
SAN JOSE Brent Burns got his
first NHL hat trick and the Sharks
ended a ve-game home losing streak
to St. Louis with a 6-3 victory over
the Blues on Friday.
Joe Thornton, Tomas Hertl and
Tommy Wingels also scored for the
Sharks, who won their fourth straight
and seven of eight.
Ian Cole scored his rst goal in
nearly two years as the Blues had their
five-game winning streak halted.
David Backes and Jaden Schwartz also
scored for St. Louis.
Antti Niemi stopped 21 of 24 shots
for his 14th win of the season. Brian
Elliott took the loss, his rst in eight
games, after giving up four goals on
12 shots. He was lifted for Jaroslav
Halak, who had 18 saves.
The Blues, who earned points in
their previous nine games, were off to
their best road start in franchise histo-
ry, bringing a 7-2-1 mark into the
game.
Burns scored 35 seconds into the
game, taking a nice pass from Patrick
Marleau and ipping the puck over
Elliotts right shoulder. Logan
Couture, who has not scored a goal in
seven straight, started the sequence
after intercepting a clearing pass.
Thornton scored a power-play goal
at 3:01, the rst allowed by the Blues
in six games and just the second on
the road. Couture took a shot that
bounced off Elliotts pad and Joe
Pavelski ipped it out to Thornton,
who beat Elliott to the glove side.
Burns scored his second goal of the
game at 9:14 of the rst, set up with a
pass from Thornton.
Wingels picked up a ubbed pass to
Jay Bouwmeester and had a give-and-
go with Couture to make it 4-0, get-
ting a good rebound off Elliotts glove
and into the net at 11:27.
Cole, who last scored on Dec. 8,
2011, against the Anaheim Ducks, a
span of 43 games, rattled the puck off
the right post and had it trickle into
the net.
The scoring sequence began when
Halak made a terric save and got the
puck out to a streaking Roman Polak.
Backes, who took a 10-minute mis-
conduct late in the second period,
made it 4-2 with a power-play goal at
2:02 of the third period, with Derek
Roy giving him a backhand pass to
set up the score.
Vogelsong agrees to one-year contract
By Janie McCauley
SAN FRANCISCO Right-hander
Ryan Vogelsong is staying with the
San Francisco Giants, agreeing to
terms on a one-year contract Friday.
Assistant general manager Bobby
Evans said the deal is pending a phys-
ical, expected to happen later next
week.
The Giants declined to exercise
Vogelsongs $6.5 million contract
option for 2014 on Nov. 4, but the
parties agreed to keep open the possi-
bility of potential negotiations down
the road during free agency. General
manager Brian Sabean and Evans have
been committed to keeping their
pitching staff intact as best as possi-
ble, which they have done while also
adding right-hander Tim Hudson on
$23 million, two-year contract Nov.
19.
The 36-year-old Vogelsong is deter-
mined to come back strong in 2014
following a frustrating year.
He went 4-6 with a 5.73 ERA in 19
starts and 103 2-3 innings during an
injury-shortened season.
He broke two bones in the right
pinkie area of his pitching hand and
also dislocated a knuckle on a swing
May 20 and underwent surgery the
next day. He had ve pins inserted in
his hand.
Vogelsong won 13 and 14 games the
previous two seasons. The journey-
man pitcher became one of baseballs
feel-good comeback stories in 2011,
when he made the All-Star team after
joining the Giants rotation rst as a
ll in for the injured Barry Zito.
Vogelsong had toiled through three
seasons in the Japanese League before
Triple-A stints in 2010 for the
Phillies and Angels.
In the Bay Area with the team that
originally drafted him in the fifth
round in 1998, Vogelsong became a
front-line starter at last.
Invited to spring training in 2011
on a minor league deal, he went on to
win the teams Willie Mac Award
named for Hall of Famer Willie
McCovey and is voted on by players,
coaches and training staff for the most
inspirational Giants player on the
eld and in the clubhouse.
Lara Gut wins season-opening WCup downhill
BEAVER CREEK, Colo. Lara Gut was faster than a eld
missing Lindsey Vonn.
Quick in training all week, the Swiss star carried it over
to race day. Gut breezed to her second World Cup win of the
season, taking the season-opening downhill Friday by
holding off Tina Weirather of Liechtenstein by 0.47 sec-
onds.
Meanwhile, down the road a few miles in Vail, Vonn was
squeezing in some early morning training runs to try and
get her surgically repaired right knee back up to speed after
a recent training mishap. Vonn got stronger with each of
the three runs she took.
On this day, though, its hard to imagine that any skier
couldve stayed with Gut, especially on a new Beaver Creek
course shes gured out better than anyone.
Still, the stage is being set for an entertaining show-
down at the Sochi Games between Gut and Vonn provid-
ed, of course, that Vonn can get healthy.
This is a race that didnt happen four years ago in
Vancouver. Gut dislocated her hip during giant slalom
training in September 2009 and missed the entire season,
including the Winter Games. Vonn went on to win the
Olympic downhill title.
Ive been working so hard to be back, the 22-year-old
Gut said. I had to build everything again, my body, my
skiing skills, my feeling on the snow. I think right now,
just everything is paying off.
Vonn is hoping that her knee will hold up to the rigors
of training and that she will indeed be ready for Sochi in
February.

build on that with or without Crabtree
back in the mix. He sure could provide a
boost as San Francisco makes a push for the
playoffs.
St. Louis certainly knows how dangerous
Crabtree can be. He had ve catches for 70
yards and a 14-yard touchdown the last time
the Rams visited Candlestick Park in 2012
and left town with the NFLs rst tie in four
years.
Against the Redskins on Monday, Anquan
Boldin made ve receptions with two touch-
downs, while Vernon Davis had four catches
with a TD. Mario Manningham made four
catches in his third game back after recover-
ing from knee surgery late last season.
Boldin and Crabtree have yet to play
together.
Denitely some good things, coach Jim
Harbaugh said. We hit some big plays and
that generated offense and got us going.
St. Louis (5-6) tries for its rst three-game
winning streak.
Here are ve more things to watch for
when the division rivals face off for their
second meeting of the season:
KAEPERNICKS PROGRESS:
Kaepernick quieted all of his critics for at
least ve days. The third-year pro, who just
hit the one-year mark since becoming San
Franciscos starting quarterback, bounced
back from consecutive losses with an
emphatic performance at Washington. He
threw for 235 yards and three touchdowns
without an interception to nish with a
career-best passer rating of 134.5 against
the Redskins. The 49ers moved to 11-0 with
Kaepernick as the starter in games he posts
a passer rating of 90.0 or better.
49ERS PLAYOFF PICTURE: At 7-4
and tied with Arizona for second place in the
NFC West, the 49ers realize full well they
have little margin for error to secure a return
trip to the playoffs after their Super Bowl
run of 2012. Especially with the division
rival Seattle Seahawks (10-1) coming to the
Bay Area on Dec. 8 after whipping the
Niners 29-3 in Week 2.
Kaepernick, for one, doesnt believe
momentum plays into it at this stage of the
season.
Game to game, he said. Have to win.
ST. LOUIS RUNNING GAME: Its
next rookie up for coach Jeff Fisher in the
Rams running game.
After Zac Stacy, a fth-round draft pick in
April, went down in the first half of
Sundays 42-21 victory against the Bears
with concussion symptoms, undrafted rook-
ie Benny Cunningham stepped in with his
rst extended playing time and produced a
100-yard game.
In addition, rookie Tavon Austin made a
65-yard TD run in the win against Chicago
for his rst career TD rushing, his fourth
touchdown in a row from beyond mideld
and sixth overall.
Theyre playing really good football
right now, 49ers safety Donte Whitner
said. Alot of big plays.
Stacy has been cleared to play.
St. Louis came out of a bye week to put up
21 rst-quarter points after scoring 29 total
in the opening period over the rst 10
games and another fast start could be
important Sunday.
PASS-RUSHING RAMS: Robert Quinn
and that swarming St. Louis defense have
been creating havoc for opposing quarter-
backs, and the defensive line has scored
touchdowns in each of the past two games.
Menacing defensive end Quinn has been a
pain for quarterbacks with 13 sacks, 35
tackles and six forced fumbles. Fellow
defensive end Chris Long returned a fumble
for a touchdown against Indianapolis lead-
ing up to the bye week, then Quinn sacked
and stripped Bears quarterback Josh
McCown, recovered the fumble and scored
against the Bears.
And Kaepernick has shown his vulnera-
bilities in recent weeks.
The 49ers offensive line has surrendered
11 sacks the past three games, nine in back-
to-back losses against Carolina and New
Orleans.
49ERS
This years team has almost mirrored that
with a similar collapse.
Oaklands 31-24 loss to the Dallas
Cowboys on Thanksgiving was its fourth in
five weeks after what had been another
encouraging 3-4 start. The Raiders have
blown second-half leads in three of the loss-
es during their recent slide and ve overall
this season.
Thats left Allen, Oaklands rst coach in
the post-Al Davis era, with an 8-20 record
that could easily land him on the hot seat in
the offseason.
We havent made enough plays at the end
of football games to be able to win those
games, Allen said Friday. (If) we keep giv-
ing ourselves opportunities, we keep put-
ting ourselves in those positions, eventual-
ly ... well make those plays at the end of
the games and well win those games.
The problem is they havent .
Oakland built a 21-7 lead over Dallas in
the second quarter before the Cowboys
stormed back to win. A week earlier, the
Raiders let a 19-16 lead slip away in the
nal moments of a loss to the Tennessee
Titans.
They also blew fourth-quarter leads
against the Indianapolis Colts and New York
Giants, and lost to Washington after hold-
ing the advantage at halftime.
Gone is talk of a possible playoff run,
replaced by the mere hope of winning out
and avoiding a losing record for the ninth
time since 2002.
I understand where were at from a record
standpoint, but these guys have gone out
there and given us everything that theyve
had every single week, Allen said. I con-
tinue to expect to see that for the last four
weeks of the season. Theyre learning expe-
riences for us and hopefully guys are contin-
uing to learn from it.
Oakland has a nine-day break in between
games and needs the extra rest.
Running back Rashad Jennings suffered a
concussion against Dallas and will have to
go through NFL protocol before being
cleared to play. Right guard Mike Brisiel
was knocked out of the game with a knee
injury, while safety Usama Young injured
his neck.
Even at full strength, it has been a tough
haul for the Raiders in November.
Oaklands last three losses have come by
seven points or fewer. The only win came
against a Houston team that had dropped
seven straight going in.
Along the way, the Raiders have switched
quarterbacks, lost their top running back
and wide receiver to injury and played with
an ever-changing offensive line that has
also been beset by injuries.
Undrafted rookie quarterback Matt
McGloin, who replaced injured starter
Terrelle Pryor before the win against the
Texans, had a second straight mediocre out-
ing but is expected to keep his job.
I dont think hes done anything to play
himself out of that position, Allen said.
Really, in every game that hes been the
starting quarterback, weve had an opportu-
nity to win those football games. We just
havent been able to pull them out.
That might be the one area in which the
Raiders have improved from a year ago.
They lost ve games by 21 points or more
in 2012. This year, Oakland has had just one
lopsided loss a 49-20 blowout by the
Philadelphia Eagles on Nov. 3.
When you watch us play and you watch us
work every day, there is absolutely nothing
that would give me any indication that there
is anybody in that locker room that has any
give up in them, Allen said. I like this
football team.
RAIDERS
reminding his Panthers of the great season
they had. I think if you look at the score, I
dont know how indicative it is of the game
and just looking back, and before I have a
chance to watch the lm, I think there were
ve plays that really changed the outcome
of this game. And if you look at most foot-
ball games ... anytime its a close game, its
usually ve or six plays that change the out-
come. They made them at the right time. We
didnt. And I think thats the difference in
todays game.
The game itself was decided in a 10 to 12
minute span starting at the ve-minute mark
of the second quarter. At the time, St.
Ignatius was dominating in the category
that mattered the most: Points. The
Wildcats were up 21-0 behind two of those
ve plays Philipopoulos mentioned. First,
a 75-yard touchdown grab on play-action
that saw Joe Lang get behind the
Burlingame defense and increased S.Is lead
to 14-0. And second, a fumble deep in
Burlingame territory gave the Wildcats the
football on the 21-yard line. Three plays
later, St. Ignatius was up by three touch-
downs and looking to put the game away
early.
But with ve minutes and change left in
the half, Burlingame responded. On second
down, Manese Palu got his hands on the
football and scampered 50 yards to the
house, igniting the Burlingame side of the
eld. Then, with time ticking off the clock,
the Panthers defense held and then were
granted a big gift when the Wildcats botched
the punt attempt and gave Burlingame the
ball on the S.I. 17-yard line.
On the next snap, Grifn Intrieri went
over the left side and scored to make it 21-
14.
I thought we ran the ball a little better
that I thought we would coming into the
game, Philipopoulos said. I really
thought we would have to pass the ball to
loosen them up. But once we got into a good
rhythm, we had some big runs. I thought
that was the most consistent part of our
game tonight. Maybe Im wrong.
Even though St. Ignatius was up by
seven, Burlingame had the momentum and
the ball to start the third quarter. But the
Panthers werent able to do much on that
opening drive which might have really
made things very interesting. Instead, they
punted and a nice return by Lang set S.I up at
the Burlingame 40-yard line. Abig comple-
tion on fourth down kept the drive alive
early and the Wildcats went up 28-14 with
7:37 left in the third quarter.
The Panthers couldnt do much on the
ensuing possession either and after another
punt, an enormous roughing the kicker
penalty gave S.I new life on a drive that had
been thwarted but instead culminated with a
fourth down conversion that went for 32-
yard and touchdown that score actually
came on a broken play that the Wildcats
converted miraculously.
That hurt, Philipopoulos said. That
hurt. ... All those little things, they add up.
And when you play a team like S.I., you
cant do that. And we did and that is why
were looking at a loss and will be collect-
ing gear tonight.
We had a lot of momentum. We were feel-
ing good in the locker room. We had a game
plan. We stuck to it. We just, again, S.I. is a
great defense. Their front is very formida-
ble. Theyre hard to block. Theyre hard to
get a push on and even in our pass sets, they
were getting a lot of penetration. They had
guys in our quarterbacks face and we just
didnt have time to throw the ball. We had
guys open at times, their defensive front
was just so ferocious it was hard to keep
them off our quarterback.
The three touchdown decit to begin the
fourth quarter proved way too much for the
Panthers to overcome. Theyd score on a
Keone Keahi run with 3:57 left in the game
but failed to recover an onside kick. S.I put
an exclamation point on the night with a
late touchdown.
I think we had a great season,
Philipopoulos said. We had a record season
and did a lot of great things. Ultimately, we
want to be playing next and we didnt get
that done.
Over in CCS Division II, Menlo-Atherton
saw its season come to an end against Los
Gatos 35-6.
The win served as a bit of revenge for Los
Gatos, who lost to M-A19-10 earlier in the
season. The Bears end their 2013 campaign
with an 8-4 overall record.

Westbrooks 3-pointer beats Warriors in OT
OKLAHOMA CITY Oklahoma City
Thunder coach Scott Brooks might have
some choices to make when scripting last-
second shots.
Brooks drew up a play for Kevin Durant
on Friday night, but it was Russell
Westbrook that came through in the end.
Westbrooks corner 3-pointer with 0.1
seconds left in overtime gave Oklahoma
City a wild 113-112 victory over the
Golden State Warriors.
Brooks drew up the play to get Durant
the ball, but the NBA scoring leaders
floater missed with 12 seconds left.
Officials called the ball out on Golden
State and used replay to confirm the call.
After the review, Serge Ibakas 15-foot
jump shot missed the mark and the ball
looked headed out of bounds before Thabo
Sefoloshas diving save gave the Thunder
one final try.
Sefolosha found Westbrook, who took
off one way, turned the other and drilled
the 3-pointer over Harrison Barnes to give
the Thunder the win.
When he tells people about out this
one, he doesnt have to exaggerate it
because theres no bigger fish story than
what he did tonight, Brooks said of
Westbrooks heroics.
Westbrooks shot was reviewed as well
but once again, replay sided with the
Thunder.
When Westbrook snagged the ball, there
was no question he was going for the win.
Im not going to tie the game,
Westbrook said. Theres no need to tie the
game. I did the same thing in Golden State
but unfortunately it didnt work out for
us.
In that game on Nov. 14, it was the
Warriors who came out ahead with a big
last-second shot, when Andre Iguodalas
fallaway jumper at the buzzer gave Golden
State a 116-115 win.

STANFORD One play. One yard. One
disputed video review.
More than 60 minutes of tough, physical
football in South Bend last season ended
when a wall of Notre Dame defenders
stopped Stanfords Stepfan Taylor inches
short of the end zone in overtime. Cardinal
coach David Shaw and his players believed
the ball crossed the goal line on Taylors
second effort, but officials had already
blown the whistle and that meant the
play was over.
Notre Dame 20, Stanford 13.
While the Fighting Irish advanced to the
BCS championship game in Miami, where
they lost to Alabama, the Cardinals motto
became nish strong. Stanford did just
that, winning its nal eight games, includ-
ing the Pac-12 title and the Rose Bowl.
The eighth-ranked Cardinal (9-2) carry
that same message into Saturdays regular-
season nale against No. 25 Notre Dame (8-
3) before next weeks conference champi-
onship game. Not as a rallying cry for
revenge, rather as a reminder not to let any
game come down to such a difcult decision.
In the end, the opportunities that were
there for us to make, we didnt make. The
opportunities that were there for Notre
Dame to make, they made, Shaw said.
Besides that last play in the game, that was
the real difference in the game.
The teams are different now and so are the
stakes.
Kevin Hogan took over for struggling
starter Josh Nunes two weeks after the loss
to the Irish and has been a key cog in the
Cardinals resurgence. Linebacker Manti
Teo and other starters are gone for Notre
Dame, and the Irishs defense has hardly
been as dominant in their absence.
And unlike last years meeting, both
teams are already out of the national cham-
pionship picture.
The only way Stanford can clinch a fourth
straight BCS bowl is by beating No. 13
Arizona State in the Pac-12 championship
game next week and booking a return trip to
the Rose Bowl. Notre Dame, with three
losses, has no chance of making a BCS
bowl but still wants to nish strong in
coach Brian Kellys fourth season.
The Irish, who can move closer to consec-
utive 10-win seasons for the rst time since
1992-93, know exactly what it will take in
the rematch at Stanford Stadium where
the Cardinal have won 15 straight.
When youre playing a physical team
like Stanford, its always going to come
down to a couple of plays that will change
the course of the game, left guard Chris
Watt said. So just being able to capitalize
on some of the opportunities that Stanford
gives us is very important.
Here are two things to watch when
Stanford and Notre Dame meet again:
SIMILAR STYLES: Both teams recruit the
same players and play a bruising brand of
football. They also make so secret about
what they want to do: run the ball and stop
the run. As last year showed, that makes the
margin for error awfully small. Its two
people trying to do the same thing, Irish
left tackle Zack Martin said, and neither
team breaks that easy.
PERFECT REES: Tommy Rees completed
all four of his passes for 43 yards and the
winning TD in overtime last year after
Stanford knocked out Everett Golson. Rees
is the starter now, throwing for 2,739 yards,
25 touchdowns and 11 interceptions this
season. And hed love nothing more than
another big-time performance against
Stanford. It was one of the cooler moments
here at Notre Dame Stadium since Ive been
here, Rees said. I remember the goal-line
stand and not being able to watch. Running
out on the eld, it was an awesome memory
for sure.
Stanford, Notre Dame ready for another tough game
San Jose State upsets No. 16 Fresno State
By Josh Dubow
SAN JOSE After watching two potent
offenses march up and down the eld with
ease in the rst half, San Jose State coach
Ron Caragher knew he needed to do some-
thing bold to get an extra possession in the
second.
An onside kick to open the half accom-
plished just that and helped the Spartans get
bowl eligible with their rst win over a
ranked opponent in 13 years.
San Jose State converted that surprise
play into a touchdown and David Fales did
the rest by throwing for a school-record 547
yards and six scores in a 62-52 victory
Friday over No. 16 Fresno State.
The way things were going, it becomes a
matter of possessions with two offenses
that were constantly scoring, Caragher
said. It was executed to perfection. Ahuge
thing to gain this extra possession.
That combined with a fourth-quarter inter-
ception by Carr proved to be much for the
Bulldogs (10-1, 7-1 Mountain West) to
overcome as they saw their hopes for a pos-
sible BCS bowl berth end with the loss.
Fales was every bit as good as the more
heralded Carr, matching his six rst-half
touchdown passes and completing 37 of 45
passes in a near perfect performance that
made the Spartans (6-6, 4-4) eligible to go
to a bowl game in consecutive seasons for
the rst time since 1986-87.
WEEKEND JOURNAL 17

If there were ever a sea-
son to learn, via the
movies, about crucial peri-
ods of history, its this one.
Last month we were intro-
duced to 12 Years a Slave,
Steve McQueens unforget-
table look at American slav-
ery, through one man with an
incredible story.
And now we have Mandela:
Long Walk to Freedom, a lm
about another vital chapter in the
worlds history the struggle
against apartheid in South Africa
also through the incredible story of
one man, albeit one we know well,
and an adored hero of our times.
Cinematically, Mandela, directed
by Justin Chadwick and based on
Mandelas autobiography, is not nearly as
groundbreaking, nor as powerful, as 12
Years a Slave. But that doesnt mean it
doesnt handle its subject with admirable
ambition and scope.
It is, though, that ambition and scope
that also bogs down the movie a bit.
Mandelas life is portrayed here from his
beginnings in a rural village to his election
as president in 1994 at age 75. Thats a huge
amount of ground to cover, even without the
newsreel-like scenes of historical context.
And so, the lm can feel too much like a
stock, traditional biopic, with little time to
delve into any one thing.
The happy news here is Idris Elbas mag-
netic performance as Mandela, portraying
both the mans heroic aspects and, at times,
his faults: The younger Mandela was rather a
playboy, it appears, and the lm does not
portray his behavior toward his rst wife in
a favorable light.
Most of all, Elba nds the core of human-
i t y, wisdom, strength and patience that
made this one man capable of changing his
countrys history. By the end of this 139-
minute lm, Elba has so inhabited the char-
acter that you might be stunned to see pho-
tos of the real man, during credits, and real-
ize the extensive physical differences
(although the real man, apparently, thought
he might be seeing footage of himself when
the producer showed him a scene).
The wise casting extends to the second
most important character, Winnie Mandela.
As portrayed by Naomie Harris, the woman
who would become Mandelas second wife
rst appears to us as a hypnotically lovely
young lady, full of verve. Ive heard you
have a lot of girlfriends, Winnie tells
Mandela when they meet. Im different.
And you believe her. Later, Harris must
transform Winnie into a hardened, increas-
ingly bold activist, eventually at odds with
her husband. Again, you believe her.
We get to know Mandela as an engaging
young lawyer, reluctant to attend an African
National Congress meeting. As he becomes
Elba anchors Mandela with dignity, charm
By Jessica
Herndon
BEVERLY HILLS When
portraying South African rev-
olutionary Nelson Mandela in
the biopic, Mandela: Long
Walk to Freedom, Idris Elba
embraced the harsh realities
of Mandelas life and was determined to stay
in character even when the cameras stopped
rolling.
But the British actor knew his latest
movie wouldnt be believable unless his
fellow actors could deliver a performance as
raw as his own so he pushed them to
embrace uncomfortable realties, too.
Elba recounted one such instance when he
was shooting scenes that focused on
Mandelas 27 years in jail under white
minority rule. During the lming, he sensed
that a couple of white actors were struggling
to portray the brutality in which Mandela
was treated.
They felt bad. ... I could see it in their
eyes. I spoke to director (Justin Chadwick)
and I said, I need these guys to go back to
their core. If there is any sense of racism in
them I need them to bring it up. If there is a
black person that they dont like let me hear
it and feel it, said Elba intently, leaning in
during a recent interview in a dim
Hollywood bar.
That was important because it would
come through in the performance and sud-
denly it becomes the biopic thats safe.
Safe would not be the word to describe
Mandela the man, or the movie. While it
shows him as the genial peacemaker that
the world embraced when he was freed from
Mandela marks Elbas cinematic maturity

With the election a mere week
away, an intellectually and ethical-
ly challenged American president
is deeply worried about his
chances for re-election in David
Mamets November, presented
by Dragon Theatre in Redwood
City.
President Charles Smiths (Peter
K. Owen) fears are justied. As
pointed out by his chief of staff,
Archer Brown (Fred Pitts), the
American people hate him, and his
campaign has run out of money for
last-second TV spots.
Smith decides to extract the
money from a hapless, sputtering
representative of the National
Turkey and Turkey By-Products
Manufacturers (Bill Davidovich),
which usually pays the president
$50,000 to pardon a turkey for
Thanksgiving.
In the midst of these machina-
tions, the president summons his
ace speech writer, Clarice
Bernstein (Stephanie Crowley), to
the White House even though she
has called in sick. She has just
returned from China where she and
her female partner adopted a baby
girl.
The wheeling and dealing goes
back and forth. One of the negoti-
ations involves Bernstein agree-
ing to write a turkey-pardon
speech for the president if hell
agree to preside over her marriage
to her partner. As pointed out by
the president and his aide in this
2008 play, same-sex marriage is
illegal, but Bernstein is unde-
terred.
As if all this werent enough, an
Indian chief, Dwight Grackle
(James Devreaux Lewis), barges
into the Oval Ofce after the pres-
ident insulted him on the phone.
Director Troy Johnson deftly
oversees the three principals
Owen as the president, Pitts as the
aide and Crowley as the speech
writer. Owen is telegenic and glib
enough to at least look presiden-
tial, while Pitts is marvelously
low-key yet blunt as his aide.
Crowley is believable as the ail-
ing Bernstein, who is quick-witted
and tough when trying to achieve
her own goal.
On the other hand, Davidovich
as the turkey lobbyist and Lewis as
the Indian chief overact, and both
are too loud for Dragons intimate
space.
Still, this two-act production is
enjoyable not only for its often
humorous, even absurd moments
but also for its credible hints at
how business might sometimes be
conducted in Washington, replete
with lots of four-letter words.
November will continue at the
Dragon Theatre, 2120 Broadway,
Redwood City, through Dec. 15.

intricate brickwork and lavish interior, the
Shreveport Municipal Memorial Auditorium
has been cited as the nest example of Art
Deco construction in Louisiana. But more
importantly, at least for popular culture, it
is where, on Oct. 16, 1954, a 19-year-old
Elvis Presley stepped on stage to sing for
the storied Louisiana Hayride radio pro-
gram. That performance, generally consid-
ered his rst big break, was broadcast live
on KWKH, a 50,000-watt Shreveport sta-
tion reaching 28 states. Elvis eventually
gave 84 shows for the Hayride (at $18 per
show). During the last of those performanc-
es, on Dec. 15, 1956, at the Hirsch
Memorial Coliseum in Shreveport, 9,000
fans screamed at the top of their lungs for
the entire show so loudly that it was impos-
sible to hear if he was actually singing.
After Elvis gave his nal encore and left the
stage, the crowd headed for the exits, hop-
ing to see him outside. Hayride promoter
Horace Logan pleaded with concertgoers to
stay for the other acts on the bill, saying,
Alright, alright, Elvis has left the build-
ing. Ive told you absolutely straight up to
this point, you know that he has left the
building; he left the stage and went out the
back with the policeman and he is now gone
from the building. Today visitors from
around the world come to Shreveport to see
where the legend began and to pose with a
bronze statue of a forever young Elvis in
front of the Shreveport Municipal
Memorial Auditorium at 705 Elvis Presley
Ave.
WELL, HE WAS DOWN IN
LOUISIANA: LEAD BELLY IN
SHREVEPORT. Blues musician Huddie
Lead Belly Ledbetter (1888-1949), the
rst to record Goodnight, Irene (his sig-
nature song) and the author of Cotton
Fields, developed his musical style as a
teenager by playing on Fannin Street in
Shreveports red light district. The King of
the 12-string Guitar, Lead Belly was
inducted into the Louisiana Music Hall of
Fame in 2008. His life-sized bronze statue,
by Shreveport artist Jesse Pitts, stands in
front of the Shreve Memorial Library at 424
Texas St. in downtown Shreveport, just a
few blocks from Ledbetters Fannin street
roots. Ledbetter was known to say that he
always knew he was nearing Shreveport
when he could see the steeple of the First
United Methodist Church; the statue stands
with an outstretched right arm pointing up
Texas Street at that very church. He is buried
in Mooringsport, La., 12 miles north of
Shreveport.
FROM SHREVEPORT TO SAN
MATEO TO ?? WHO/WHAT/WHERE
ARE THEY?? THE RESIDENTS KEEP
THEIR FANS GUESSING. Although the
four member avant-garde group The
Residents have steadfastly refused to reveal
WHO they are, they do allow people to
know WHERE they hail from, namely
Shreveport, where they met in high school
in the 1960s. The only other city that they
specically claim is San Mateo where the
four happened to be when their truck broke
down in the mid 60s, and where they
stayed, at least for a while. San Mateo
served as an incubator for the mysterious
foursome and, as the album notes on the
back of their debut record Meet The
Residents say, The Residents ... gained
widespread notoriety for their unusual
recordings, sometimes jokingly referred to
as the San Mateo Sound. But Shreveport is
where they started, where they are honored
and where their return is awaited.
RED RIVER REVEL. Shreveports love
affair with music plays out during its Red
River Revel Arts Festival each October. The
Revel, as locals know it, is a high-spirited,
high-calorie celebration of the food, art and
music of Northern Louisiana. And it can
serve to launch a music career. A video of
guitarist Kenny Wayne Shepherds rst per-
formance at the Revel put him on the path to
a multiple album record deal.

THE RESIDENTS:FROM SHREVEPORT TO SAN MATEO TO THE WORLD STAGE.A banner hanging
during the 2013 Red River Revel Arts Festival in Shreveport, La., depicts The Residents, the
famously anonymous multi-media artists with roots in both Northern Louisiana and San
Mateo.
prison and became South Africas rst black
president, it also shows him as a ery and
awed revolutionary who sought to abolish
apartheid through any means necessary as
leader as the African National Congress.
Chadwick called Idris brave and lauded his
portrayal of Mandela.
There are not many people who would
step into the shoes of Mandela, particularly
the way I was making the movie, he said.
There was no room for any untruth. When
you are standing in front of thousands of
people portraying their leader that they
know so well youd better be on it, and Idris
was on it.
Elba did not have a chance to speak to the
95-year-old icon because of his failing
health. But he drew on the mannerisms of his
late father to help him with his interpreta-
tion of Mandela. He also spoke to a few of
Mandelas daughters and his second wife,
Winnie, who was also a powerful gure in the
anti-apartheid movement.
Winnie said its all good to see a guy who
is waving and smiling, said Elba. But she
needed to see the complex man.
Based on Mandelas autobiography, the
lm, which opens Friday, has been in the
works for years. Denzel Washington was the
original choice for the role.
But at some point the DNAchanged and it
didnt work for him to do the lm, so my
name was thrown in that mix, said Elba. In
actuality it was really easy to get the job, but
I didnt believe that I had gotten it.
Once reality set in, so did Elbas nerves. I
was like, Damn, do I have this performance
in me? the 41-year-old actor said.
ELBA
more involved in the struggle, his worried
mother, Nosekeni (an affecting Zikhona
Sodlaka), makes no secret of her disap-
proval. His rst marriage fails.
Mandelas lovely courtship with Winnie
culminates in a traditional wedding in tribal
dress. This dreamlike moment gives way to
scenes of the shocking Sharpeville mas-
sacre in 1960, when police mowed down 69
people. Soon, activist Mandela is on the
run.
His famous trial, with the masses gathered
outside, is well captured here. As the world
knows, Mandela and his co-defendants were
sentenced to life in prison, and his next 27
years were spent there, 18 of them at the for-
bidding Robben Island.
You will never touch a woman or a child
again, a prison ofcial tells Mandela. You
will die here. Everyone watching the lm
will know this isnt true. But knowing what
happens hardly blunts the impact of the
thrilling 1990 release scene, nor Mandelas
election as president in 1994.
Aclosing scene of the older Mandela, sur-
rounded by children, reminds us that he is
still alive, at 95. This is the perfect time for
youngsters (or their elders) who dont know
enough about the man to go learn about
him. For that reason alone, if not for Elbas
terric performance, Mandela: Long Walk
to Freedom is 139 minutes very well spent.
Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom, a
Weinstein Company release, is rated PG-13
by the Motion Picture Association of
America for some intense sequences of vio-
lence and disturbing images, sexual content
and brief strong language. Running time:
139 minutes. Three stars out of four.

best way to get home. They decided to book
two weeks in China, two weeks in Japan and
three to four weeks in Hawaii.
While in China, they visited Shanghai
which was a challenge because of the lan-
guage barrier. In Europe, Sri Lanka,
Singapore and Bali, many people speak
English. For a few days, they functioned
without a tour guide and had to decipher street
signs and words on buildings. Fortunately,
while blogging and posting pictures on
Facebook, one of their sons friends mother
connected them to a friend in Xian. That
friend invited the Lukes to dinner at their
home and experienced how the Xian people
live. Gigi Luke recalls that the dumpling soup
served at dinner became an instant hit with
her family.
In Xian and Beijing, they learned about the
Silk Road, the Terra Cotta Warriors and the
Great Wall of China. They also rode pedi-
bikes through the Hu tong area in Beijing,
which is an old dilapidated neighborhood
being prepped for demolition for the con-
struction of skyscrapers. The open markets in
China also provided an adventure, as the
Lukes youngest son Justin ate a fried scorpi-
on and enjoyed every bite. The Lukes traveled
to Japan from China and continued to
explore. They visited the Peace Memorial in
Hiroshima as well as several museums. From
Japan, the Lukes headed back to the United
States and enjoyed some well-deserved rest
and relaxation. They stayed in Hawaii for
three weeks and, on June 30, they arrived
back home to California.
Reection on the journey
In a year, the Lukes visited 14 countries, 34
major cities, 93 towns and villages and more
than 100 historical sites, including 36
UNESCO World Heritage sites. They took 19
ights, drove more than 8,700 miles, rode 40
trains, 36 buses, 14 boats and several sub-
ways in Europe and Asia.
As the family reected on their adventure,
they recalled some of their favorite foods,
fruit, drinks, art and parts of nature. Gigi Luke
mentioned the tea shops in France and the
daily farmers market. Bob and Gigi Luke also
enjoyed the roasted duck and quality provin-
cial rose wine in France. Sri Lanka and
Singapore possessed some of the most exot-
ic and tasty fruit, vegetables and dishes like
Lotus root curry, purple mangosteen, snake-
fruit and rambuton.
Jordan and Justin loved exploring some of
the castles in Europe and enjoyed eating the
Cornish pasties in London. Justin remembers
the pandas at the zoo in China, and the multi-
tude of monkeys in Bali. Bob Luke was
intrigued with the beauty of Sri Lanka and the
history of the Silk Road in China. In
Pompeii, the family was enthralled by the
mosaic of Alexander beating Darius and the
prehistoric cave paintings in the valley of
France. The family agreed that each place
they visited had its own value at that time.
Theyre grateful for the hospitality they
received from all of their friends, including
the ones they made along the way, especially
in Bali.
Gigi Luke credits her husband with being an
ultimate supporter and partner that made sure
the family was safe and comfortable. The
Lukes created a bond with their family that
will always live. Their children are now
equipped with priceless knowledge and char-
acter.
The Lukes suggest that if a family is think-
ing about embarking on a similar adventure,
dont hesitate to move out of your comfort
zone. Be prepared to simply let it go.
Its liberating to be spontaneous, exible
and self-sufcient, said Gigi Luke. Its so
fullling to know that you were present to the
vivid experience.

started Resource Area For Teaching, or
RAFT, after teaching math and science
to second and third graders for 12 years
and having her two children. RAFT is a
nonprot that gives teachers access to
ready-made, hands-on teaching kits,
more than 600 idea sheets for activities
in math, science and art, a resource
room staffed with education specialists
who can help teachers plan their proj-
ects or lessons, teaching workshops
and affordable teaching supplies.
Locations include Redwood City and
San Jose.
I wanted to create something Id love
to have as a teacher, said Simon, 62. I
created a wonderful place in which the
minute teachers walk in the door they
feel very respected and are celebrated
professionals. They also nd things at
a very low price; its sad teachers pay
for things out of pocket.
Her favorite part of RAFT has been
hearing teachers stories as they wander
around RAFT.
Listening to their challenges and
how RAFT inspired them and their
kids, she said. Its important to me
that teachers are re-inspired to be what
they imagined when they were in col-
lege.
RAFT serves 10,000 educators each
year who teach more than 825,000 stu-
dents. RAFT also has a processing
facility in Sunnyvale, where volunteers
process materials donated by local
companies and assemble kits made up
of cardboard tubes, rubber bands, CDs
and many other items.
Youre limited only by your imagi-
nation, said Simon about what stu-
dents and teachers can do with the mate-
rials.
The transition to Common Core cur-
riculum, the statewide shift to more
project-based learning, challenges edu-
cators to offer practical and engaging
activities that help students develop
critical-thinking skills, she said.
Project-based activities, like those
provided by RAFT, have been proven
effective in helping students achieve a
deeper understanding of complex math
and science concepts, she noted.
Technology is changing and how
teaching is happening in the classroom
is going to change, she said. It will
be interesting to see how RAFTs real
world, tangible resources can compli-
ment technology. For the rst time the
administration is recognizing the
importance of project-based learning
and having students ask questions, not
just answer them.
Why retire now?
It was a big decision, she said.
There comes a time in life when you
have to make a decision like that. I
know I will miss it.
Although she has lots of little hob-
bies that will ll her time when she of-
cially leaves in March 2014, Simon
plans to learn who she is outside of
RAFT. As RAFT is already well-estab-
lished, shed potentially like to get
back into a startup type environment.
People will sometimes call me Mary
RAFT, she said. I will take at least six
months to nd out what will my next
passion be. Im not the kind of person
who sits at home. I want to go back to
get involved in an operational type
thing. I like to be in the trenches.
Others from RAFT praised Simons
work.
Under Marys leadership, RAFT has
become an invaluable resource for edu-
cators and a hub for community
involvement, Jon Flaxman, chair of
the RAFT Board of Directors, said in a
prepared statement. RAFT would not
be what it is today without Marys
vision and creativity. We look forward
to celebrating what she has accom-
plished over two decades and welcom-
ing a new leader to grow RAFTs impact
on education.
RAFT has not yet hired a replacement
for Simon.
SIMON
venues didnt appear quite as packed but
store workers said business remained
steady.
Business has been going really
well, said Brittany Bustamante, assis-
tant manager of hat store Lids which was
open on both Thanksgiving and Black
Friday. We wanted to give customers
more of an opportunity to purchase
more items.
One shopper named Jamie, who
declined to give a last name, hit the
Macys department store at Hillsdale the
morning of Black Friday looking to
score deals on jewelry, pots and pans.
Im working a double shift today so
this is my only time to Black Friday
shop, she said.
Other non-typical Black Friday shop-
pers also went to Hillsdale for the day.
Bob Spain arrived at 9 a.m. with his
wife and was surprised there werent
more people, noting there were no park-
ing issues.
Its getting more crowded now, he
said around 10 a.m. I dont normally do
Black Friday.
Likewise, Susan Forbes of Belmont
simply went to Hillsdale to get her com-
puter xed at the Apple retail store, but
ended up slipping into Coldwater Creek
to buy some clothing while waiting.
Some stores barely offered a break
between shopping opportunities on
Thursday and Friday. Big box retailer
Kmart, which has a location in San
Mateo, opened for nearly two straight
days beginning on Gray Thursday. Old
Navy at Hillsdale Shopping Center was-
nt far behind, staying open from 9 a.m.
to 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. on Thanksgiving
through 11 p.m. on Black Friday.
Some Bay Area groups hosted anti-
Black Friday events to protest con-
sumerism. Buy Nothing Day promoted
unshopping, unspending and unwind-
ing. Small Business Saturday aims to
support local businesses in the Bay
Area. American Express cardholders can
sign up to get $10 back after spending
$10 or more at participating small busi-
nesses. Participants along the
Peninsula include Deans Produce,
Platos Closet and Galati Jewelers in
San Mateo, Tutti Frutti in San Carlos,
Broadway Grill in Burlingame, East
West Gallery in San Bruno, Pickled in
Redwood City and other small stores
that take American Express Cards.
Others used the day as an opportunity
to highlight their causes at big box
retailers. A protest at the San Leandro
Walmart coincided with Black Friday
shopping. Agroup of Walmart workers,
labor activists, other low-wage employ-
ees and supporters gathered at the store
to shed light on low worker wages and
workers rights violations as part of a
nationwide protest.

nesses taking part in Small Business

SHOPPING
chains have been opening on
Thanksgiving.
This year, several welcomed shoppers
for the rst time on Thanksgiving
night, while Gap Inc., which owns
Banana Republic, Gap and Old Navy,
opened half its stores earlier on the hol-
iday.
Wal-Mart stores, most of which stay
open 24 hours, has for the past several
years offered doorbusters that had been
reserved for Black Friday. And Kmart
planned to stay open 41 hours starting
at 6 a.m. on Thanksgiving.
That has led some to question how
much further Black Friday will creep
into Thanksgiving, which along with
Christmas is one of only two days a year
that most stores are closed.
Black Friday is now Gray Friday,
said Craig Johnson, president of
Customer Growth Partners, a retail con-
sultancy.
The earlier openings have met with
some resistance.
Workers rights groups and some
shoppers had planned protests on
Thanksgiving and Black Friday to decry
the way some store employees were
forced to miss holiday meals at home.
But as of Thursday afternoon,
there were no reports of wide-
spread protests.
Judy Espey ducked out of a
Thanksgiving family dinner
to buy a 50-inch at-screen
TV at Wal-Mart near Clifton
Park, N.Y., for $288. But I
dont really dig the
Thanksgiving night thing,
she confessed. I feel bad for
the workers.
Vinnie Gopalakrishnan
pledged not to hit the stores
after seeing TV footage of
people shopping on
Thanksgiving. But he ip-
opped after his cousin told
him about a deal on a big-
screen TV.
I said, Im not going to do
it. Those people are crazy,
Gopalakrishnan said before
heading to a Wal-Mart on
Friday.
Its unclear whether the
early openings will lead
shoppers to spend more over
the two days or simply spread
sales out.

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 2013
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) You will learn the
hard way if you let anger take over. Dont complain
or waste time arguing a moot point. Concentrate on
what is working. Live in the moment.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Set your
standards and stick to your principles. Your
integrity will separate you from any competition you
face, allowing you clear passage to the destination
you choose. Romance is highlighted.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Get along, no matter
how difcult it might be. Arguments will drain you of
the energy youll need to reect and make alternate
plans when things veer off course.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Look into small
business ventures or an investment that shows
potential. Contracts may not be straightforward,
but your negotiating skills will help you nd creative
solutions that include the perks you want.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) Staying on top of what
needs to be nished will be difcult but a necessity.
Dont let restlessness cause you to make a move
without sufcient thought. Avoid overindulgence.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Speak up and offer
suggestions. Whether you are dealing with friends,
family or peers, you will capture the attention
required to put your plans in motion and receive the
benefits you desire.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Take care of your
interests rst. You must not allow anyone to sidetrack
you, especially if money is involved. Youll end up being
taken advantage of if you are too complacent.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) Make plans, step
into the spotlight, do your own thing and reap the
rewards. Follow your heart and lay groundwork to
secure your home and business future.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Think about what you want
and revamp your plans for the future to better suit
your needs. Dont discuss what you are doing until
you are ready to take action.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Put more into your
home, family and personal property. Enjoying the
company of someone you love or who shares similar
interests will lead to future plans.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) You may want to help
the world, but keep in mind that charity begins at
home. Focus on the people you care about most as
well as making home improvements.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Show how much
you care. Pay more attention to someone you love
or make a donation to a cause you feel passionate
about helping, and you will achieve personal
success and happiness.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
Vidyagauri Kantilal Khatri

To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, con-
tingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of: Vidyagauri Kantilal Kha-
tri. A Petition for Probate has been filed

bate. The will and any codicils are avail-
bale for examination in the file kept by
the court.
The petition requests authority to admin-
ster the estate under the Independent

thority will allow the personal representa-

sonal representative will be required to
give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to
the proposed action.) The independent
administration authority will be granted

jection to the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant the
authority.

this court as follows: December 13, 2013
at 9:00 a.m., Dept. 28, Superior Court of
California, County of San Mateo, 400
County Center, Redwood City, CA
94063.
If you object to the granting of the peti-
tion, you should appear at the hearing
and state your objections or file written
objections with the court before the hear-
ing. Your appearance may be in person
or by your attorney.
If you are a creditor or a contingent cred-
itor of the decedent, you must file your
claim with the court and mail a copy to
the personal representative appointed by
the court within the later of either (1) four
months from the date of first issuance of
letters to a general personal representa-
tive, as defined in section 58(b) of the
California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days
from the date of mailing or personal de-
livery to you of a notice under section
9052 of the California Probate Code.
Other California statutes and legal qutho-
ity may affect your rights as a creditor.
You may want to consult with an attorney
knowledgeable in California law.
You may examine the file kept by the
court. If you are a person interested in
the estate, you may file with the court a
Request for Special Notice (form DE-
154) of the filing of an inventory and ap-
praisal of estate assets or of any petition
or account as provided in Probate Code
section 1250. A Request for Special No-
tice form is available from the court clerk.
