U.S., IRAN SET STAGE FOR NUCLEAR DEAL
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
A solution to the difcult and
often hazardous merge between
State Route 92 and El Camino Real
is being worked on by both the
city of San Mateo and Caltrans
with construction of new partial
cloverleaf ramps slated to begin in
mid-2016.
The short interchange section
between the two freeways makes
entering and exiting a challenge,
leads to backups and can be haz-
ardous to pedestrians and bicy-
clists. Caltrans and the city are
proposing to modify the ramps by
turning the current full cloverleaf
design into a partial cloverleaf,
according to a city report. This
change would eliminate two off-
ramp loops and create two signal-
ized intersections at the entrances
onto El Camino Real. The propos-
al will also address safer pedestri-
an and bicyclist crossing on El
Camino Real, said Interim City
Manager Larry Patterson.
Construction of the project is
expected to begin in mid-2016 and
be completed by early 2018, said
Caltrans spokeswoman Gidget
Navarro.
The two main concerns are the
condensed weaving sections for
drivers entering or exiting onto
State Route 92 and overcrowding
on off-ramps.
Any time you back up trafc
onto the mainline it creates safety
issues, Patterson said.
Because there are only two lanes
on State Route 92 at this location,
when the exit ramps leading to El
Camino Real become congested,
traffic spills onto the freeway
leaving only one lane functioning
at normal speed.
The city entered into an agree-
ment with Caltrans in March 2012
to address the problem. Because

Burgled Pennsylvania tattoo
shop offers body art for info
BERWICK, Pa. The owner of a
Pennsylvania tattoo shop that was
broken into is putting up an unusual
reward for information leading to
arrests - free tattoos and piercings for
life.
Brandon George of Permanently
Scarred Tattoos in Berwick posted the
offer on his Facebook page after he
found the door kicked in Thursday
morning and a TV and other gear
stolen.
He told The Press Enterprise of
Bloomsburg that the break-in cost
him several thousand dollars.
George says he thinks more than
one person was involved because it
would take several people to move his
70-inch TV and other equipment.
As for the tattoo and piercing offer,
he says, "I'd do that in a heartbeat.
That offer is good."
852 Thai children set
human Christmas tree record
BANGKOK Christmas is not a
holiday in predominantly Buddhist
Thailand, and its palm trees outnum-
ber pines, but the country still set a
world record with its holiday spirit.
One of the country's largest shop-
ping malls arranged a publicity stunt
involving 852 schoolchildren dressed
in green and red hoodies to break the
Guinness World Record for the
largest human Christmas tree. They
outdid a German record of 672 partic-
ipants in 2011 .
To the relief of parents, and the
chagrin of a few teenagers, the chil-
dren were not hoisted onto a human
pyramid shaped like a conifer.
It was more an exercise in crowd
control, grouping the assembled 6-
to 15-year-olds into a tree-like for-
mation on the ground.
"I kind of thought we'd get to stand
on each other's shoulders," said 13-
year-old Nattakit Liewkulnattana.
Like most participants at the event,
he doesn't celebrate Christmas. He
wasn't sure whose birthday the holi-
day marks ("Santa Claus?") but was
excited to take part in a world record,
and maybe get something in return.
"I want presents!" the teen said.
All participants got to keep their
hoodies.
The record was set in 15 minutes, 29
seconds.
Guinness representative Fortuna
Burke certied the feat, counting on a
clicker as children led onto an out-
door verandah at Siam Paragon mall,
the event's organizer. Once in place,
the children waved as a drone ew
overhead to capture aerial images.
Although Christmas does not
appear on Thai calendars and is a reg-
ular workday, hotels and shopping
malls decorate starting in mid-
November for what is a big shopping
season during Thailand's peak tourism
months.
Thais also set other off-beat records
this year. On Valentine's Day, a couple
set a record for longest kiss (58 hours,
35 minutes and 58 seconds). Also in
February, nearly 4,483 people swung
hula hoops for seven minutes, a record
for the most people dancing with hula
hoops simultaneously in one place.
OKC bomb squad says
suspicious item was a burrito
OKLAHOMA CITY A burrito
caused a minor scare at an Oklahoma
City police brieng station after a
man brought the foil-wrapped object
in for analysis.
Oklahoma City Police Capt. Dexter
Nelson says a man discovered a
Thermos-type container in his lawn
Thursday afternoon and brought it to a
police brieng station. Nelson says
the container was heavy and had tin-
foil protruding from the lid, so the
man considered it suspicious.
The Oklahoman reports that of-
cers told the man to leave the contain-
er outside and the police bomb squad
X-rayed the item. The analysis deter-
mined that it was only a burrito.
Although it was harmless, police
aren't laughing at the incident.
Nelson says anyone who nds a suspi-
cious object should call authorities -
not bring it to a police station them-
selves.

B
orn in 1713 in Petra, Majorca,
Spain, Father Junipero Serra
entered the Alcantarine
Franciscans, a reform movement of the
order and proved to be a brilliant student of
philosophy. He was appointed lector of phi-
losophy before his ordination to the
Catholic priesthood.
In 1749, at the age of 27, Serra journeyed
to New Spain (Mexico) to serve the church.
During his walk to Mexico City, he was bit-
ten by a mosquito. It festered after he
scratched it and it never healed, giving him
considerable troubles all of his life. The
Franciscans had a rule that a friar must not
ride on horseback or mule unless compelled
by the manifest necessity or inrmity.
Although this was no longer a necessity,
Serra nevertheless felt he must enforce it;
hence he walked everywhere while in the
New World. Serra became the new president
of the Missions in Mexico and developed a
unique method of preaching the penance to
his parishioners. He agellated himself for
their sins until they cried for him to stop.
The Jesuit Order had represented Spain in
the New World but the Spanish ofcials
became suspicious that they no longer had
the Spanish interest and desires of how
things should be run. King Carlos III
ordered them forcibly expelled from New
Spain on Feb. 3, 1768 and Serra became
Father Presidente and was ordered to take
charge of Alta California. On March 12,
1768, he went with Governor Gaspar de
Father Junipero Serra

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO Ashortage
of forensic pathologists at the San
Francisco medical examiners
ofce is leading to long delays in
issuing death certificates that
include a cause of death.
City records show that more
than three-quarters of all pending
cases 609 have been await-
ing a cause of death for more than
three months, according to the
San Francisco Chronicle
An additional 389 cases have
been pending for more than six
months and 80 have been open
more than a year, records say.
The delays can hamper criminal
cases in which the cause of death
is pivotal, and they make it dif-
cult for families to settle a loved
ones affairs or access insurance
and retirement funds.
Short staffing and slow turn-
around times led the National
Association of Medical Examiners
to downgrade the San Francisco
offices accreditation this year
from full to provisional. If it does-
nt demonstrate efforts to x its
problems, it could lose accredita-
tion.
The association wants 90 per-
cent of postmortem exams com-
pleted within two months.
The ofce doesnt have enough
forensic pathologists, who are in
short supply nationwide. The
ofce is supposed to have four
pathologists to perform autopsies
and determine a cause of death, but
it currently only has one perma-
nent and one temporary patholo-
gist.
Chief Medical Examiner Amy
Hart told the Chronicle that her
office is working to improve
staffing and turnaround times,
adding that it would be worse to
rush cases that require additional
analysis.
City Administrator Naomi
Kelly, who oversees the medical
examiners ofce, said the city is
working aggressively to hire
pathologists.
Clearly, Im not satised with
the deciencies with the ofce,
she said.
Jim and Sandy Hague are still
waiting to nd out what happened
to their son, Joshua, a 34-year-old
machinist and Army veteran who
was found dead in a sidewalk rest-
room in downtown San Francisco
in January.
The delay prevented access to
their sons 401(k) account, which
they needed to help pay back
$7,000 in funeral expenses. But
what the Hagues really want is
information.
We just dont know what hap-
pened, Jim Hague told the
Chronicle. His mothers been
depressed ever since. Shes been
waiting every day, waiting for res-
olution one way or another. Were
just in limbo.

Fatal crash near Devils Slide
A23-year-old man was killed in a
car crash on Highway 1 just south
of Devils Slide in San Mateo
County.
Sanjeev Joshi, of Visalia, was
pronounced dead at the scene,
according to the California
Highway Patrol.
The deadly collision occurred
near the Tom Lantos Tunnels just
south of Pacica around 3:25 a.m.
according to the CHP. No other
injuries have been reported.
An investigation and cleanup at
the scene of the crash blocked the
roadway in both directions until a
short time after 8:30 a.m., accord-
ing to the CHP.
Preliminary information indicat-
ed the crash only involved one

The cause of the crash remains

Survey: fewer planning to
travel for holiday weekend
Fewer Californians plan to travel
this Thanksgiving, according to a
survey released by the American
Automobile Associations
Northern California chapter.
More than 5.1 million California
residents plan to travel 50 miles or
more for the extended four-day
Thanksgiving holiday weekend, a
4 percent decrease from last year,
according to the AAAsurvey.
That includes 4.4 million who
plan to travel by motor vehicle, a
4.6 percent decrease from last year,
and more than 500,000 who plan
to y, a 4.9 percent decrease, the
survey found.
On the other hand, the survey
found a 1.8 percent increase in
those planning to travel by other
means, such as boats or trains.
Californians will set aside
t houghts of scal uncertainty to
gather and feast with people who
matter most in their lives, said AAA
Northern California spokeswoman
Cynthia Harris in a statement.
While travel projections are lower
than last Thanksgiving, this years
travel forecast is still well above the
2008-2009 levels when the reces-
sion caused a drop in travel of more
than 25 percent, Harris said.
AAA found a smaller 1.5 percent
decrease in the number of people
planning to travel for the holiday
nationally.
The average West Coast family of
four is expected to spend $681 over
the holiday weekend, and those
traveling by car will drive an aver-
age of 795 miles.
First spare the air alert of
winter, wood res banned
The rst Spare the Air alert of the
winter season has been issued for
Monday by the Bay Area Air Quality
Management District.
Acold weather pattern and lack of
wind has allowed air pollution to
rise to a level that is considered
unhealthy, according to the
BAAQMD.
The alert bans the burning of
wood, manufactured re logs or
other solid fuel, both inside and out-
doors, for 24 hours. Homes without
permanently installed heating sys-
tems are exempt.
Wood smoke, the largest source of
winter air pollution in the Bay Area,
contains particulates and carbon
monoxide and can especially harm
children, the elderly or people with
respiratory conditions.
Anyone who violates the burning
ban will be given the option of tak-
ing a wood smoke awareness class
or paying a $100 ne, according to
the BAAQMD. Second-time viola-
tors will be ned $500. People con-
cerned about wood smoke pollution
can call (877) 4NO-BURN or visit
www.baaqmd.gov to le a com-
plaint or get more information.
Obama fundraising tour
hits San Francisco today
SEATTLE Money, star power
and Hollywood awaited President
Barack Obama on a West Coast
swing featuring a bit of ofcial busi-
ness, but mostly fundraising for a
Democratic Party eager to go on
offense after a politically debilitat-
ing two months.
Obama arrived Sunday evening in
Seattle. He also planned stops in
San Francisco and Los Angeles,
raising money for House and Senate
Democrats as well as the national
party.
High-prole events on the sched-
ule included a reception at the home
of retired basketball star Earvin
Magic Johnson and his wife,
Cookie, in Beverly Hills, and one at
the house of Marta Kauffman, co-
creator of televisions Friends.
In the year before an election like
this, I think the most tangible way
that an incumbent president of either
party, frankly, can benet his partys
prospects in congressional races is
to try to help them raise money,
White House spokesman Josh
Earnest said. And I would anticipate
that the presidents efforts on that
front will continue into next year.
The trip comes as Obamas health
care law approaches a crucial Nov. 30
deadline for an improved insurance
enrollment website whose cata-
strophic start Oct. 1 dealt a serious
political blow to the White House.
Also, the U.S. and other world pow-
ers just sealed a historic deal with
Iran for a temporary freeze of its
nuclear program.

DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT
New York Times best-selling
author Anne Lamott, known for
her non-ction and autobiograph-
ical writings about life, faith and
inspiration will be speaking at a
special engagement Tuesday
evening hosted by St. Matthews
Episcopal Church to promote her
new book, Stitches: AHandbook
on Meaning, Hope and Repair.
Lamott said she was compelled
to write the book to nd meaning
in this very, very crazy world,
after the mass shooting that
occurred at Sandy Hook
Elementary School in Newtown,
Conn. Dec. 14, 2012.
It began with a vision for a
book that people could turn to, to
find meaning after Newtown
especially for the children she
teaches at her churchs Sunday
Bible study.
I thought, what on earth am I
going to tell them, two days after
Newtown, said Lamott, a self pro-
fessed born-again Christian who
often speaks candidly about her
faith in her work and in person. I
always tell them they are safe,
loved and chosen, but then I
thought, how will they believe me
when I tell (about) my faith if 20
little ones were slaughtered?
Inspired by a fellow author,
Barry Lopez, Lamott realized that
we really ultimately just have
stories and compassion to guide
through these times where so
many of us are experiencing vio-
lence and so many people in our
families have had or have cancer
the polar bears are floating
away ... and our grandchildren are
little and obviously facing some
sort of catastrophic environmen-
tal reality.
Beginning with a few stories to
tell her kids at Bible study, like
the one about a tie-dyed angel,
told in Chapter 1 of Stitches
Lamott said, one thing just sort
of led to another.
Stitches is, Lamott said, a
book about meaning and repair
and hope which she feels is real-
ly needed in these complicated
times.
Its sort of like a manual for
living fully and with sense of con-
dence, community and connec-
tion that is much harder these
days, I think, than it used to be,
said Lamott.
Like most of her work,
Stitches is a literary quest to
identify the meaning in life.
What can be more important
than to know what the meaning of
our lives is and how to search for it
and who we really are, as opposed
to who we all have agreed to be,
Lamott said.
Her honesty, humor, wit and
ability to relate to people from all
religions, backgrounds and walks
of life has garnered a huge follow-
ing. She has been on Oprah
Winfreys, Super Soul Sunday
program and the Colbert Report
with Stephen Colbert. She was a
recipient of the Guggenheim
Fellowship as well as an inductee
to the California Hall of Fame.
Joanne Formosa Yuson, an avid
fan, is excited to meet Lamott
Tuesday because she admires her.
She struggled so much, but
instead of letting all that harden
her, she came out with a deeper
awareness of what it means to be
human, Yuson said.
The event is 7 p.m. Tuesday,
Nov. 26 at the Episcopal Church
of St. Matthew, 1 S. El Camino

BURLINGAME A floor
heater appears to be the source of
a four-alarm fire that badly dam-
aged a residential and commercial
building near downtown
Burlingame early Saturday morn-
ing, a fire marshal said. Central
County Fire Marshal Rocque
Yballa said investigators believe
combustible items near a floor
heater on the first floor of the
two-story building were the cause
of the blaze.
Yballa said the fire serves as a
reminder of the danger of leaving
flammable objects near floor
heaters, including Christmas
trees and gifts as the holidays
approach. Investigators have not
yet determined what objects may
have kindled the fire and said
investigators continue to sift
through the charred remnants of
the building.
The fire was reported in the
1200 block of Donnelly Avenue,
about half a block from the
Burlingame Caltrain station, at
3:49 a.m., according to Central
County Fire Marshal Rocque
Yballa. The building housed a
commercial office on the first
floor and a residential unit on the
second floor. Crews arrived on
the scene to find the right side of
the building as well as its front
porch fully engulfed in flames,
Yballa said.
Nearly 70 firefighters were
called to battled the four-alarm
blaze, which spread into the
building's attic and completely
burned out the inside, according
to the fire marshal. The fire also
damaged a neighboring office
occupied by Tandem
Entrepreneurs Management
Services, located at 1214
Donnelly Ave., he said. Crews
were able to get the fire under
control by 5:30 a.m., he said.
A search of the property
revealed that no one was at home
at the time of the fire, except for
one man living in a detached unit
behind the main building. That
man and possibly two other resi-
dents who weren't home at the
time of the fire have been dis-
placed. Yballa said the fire
appears to have started near a
floor heater in the main room on
the building's first floor. Yballa
said that the structure's age and
its wood-shingled siding likely
contributed to the fire's rapid
spread. The main building, which
the fire marshal estimated to date
back to the early 1900s, was
built before automatic sprinklers
were required, he said.
If these buildings had sprin-
klers, it would have been con-
tained to building of origin, he
said. Adamage estimate from the
blaze was not available.

STATE
SAN JOSE Civil rights activists are
calling on prosecutors to le felony hate-
crime charges against four white students
accused of harassing a black student at San
Jose State University.
NAACP leaders are urging Santa Clara
County District Attorney Jeff Rosen to
bring felony charges against the white stu-
dents, who currently face misdemeanor hate-
crime and battery charges.
This is not simple hazing or bullying.
This is obviously racially based terrorism
targeted at their African American room-
mate, Reverend Jethroe Moore II, president
of the San Jose/Silicon Valley NAACP said
in a statement Saturday. The community
will not stand idly by and allow for any stu-
dent of color to be terrorized simply due to
the color of his skin.
According to a police report, the white
students taunted their freshman dorm-mate
with racial slurs, outtted their dormitory
suite with a Confederate ag, barricaded the
victim in his room and placed a U-shaped
bicycle lock around his neck.
In a statement Saturday, Rosen says he
believes his ofce has led the appropriate
charges in this case, based upon the evi-
dence, according to the San Jose Mercury
News.
We have deep respect for the NAACP,
Rosen added. We share its abhorrence for
hate crimes and share its desire for justice.
University ofcials have suspended the
four white students, condemned their
actions and promised a full investigation of
the case, which prompted a campus protest
last week.
The students charged are Logan
Beaschler and Collin Warren, both 18;
Joseph Bomgardner, 19; and an unidenti-
fied juvenile.
Since the accusations emerged
Wednesday, efforts by the Mercury News
and Associated Press to contact the stu-
dents have been unsuccessful, and its
unclear if they have lawyers. They
havent released any public statements.
The Santa Clara County district attor-
neys office and county jail administra-
tion office were closed Sunday.
Assembly Speaker John Perez, D-Los
Angeles, said in a statement that he and
California State University Chancellor
Timothy White will closely monitor the
situation so that every student knows
that these unconscionable acts will not
be tolerated anywhere, anytime.
NAACP ofcials are planning a campus
news conference Monday to condemn the
racially charged actions and call on the uni-
versity to conduct a thorough investigation
into how the university housing department
handled the situation.
NAACP wants felony
charges for hate crime
SANTA ANA A new report says hun-
dreds of underground leak sites will go
unmonitored by the state under a policy
change.
Since the 1980s, more than 44,000
underground fuel tank leaks have been tal-
lied in California. Achange that went into
effect last year allows some of these sites to
end regulatory monitoring even though
trace contamination exists, the Orange
County Register reported.
The state has defended the policy, saying
that theres no threat to human health
because gasoline contaminants will natu-
rally degrade and wont reach groundwater
supplies. State officials also said their
focus is on cleaning up the worst under-
ground petroleum storage tank leaks.
Theres a lot of money that is being
spent on low-threat sites. The board wants
to stop spending money on the low-threat
sites so that we can start spending money
on the high-threat sites, Kevin Graves,
who heads the cleanup program at the
California State Water Resources Control
Board, told the newspaper.
But some scientists and local water agen-
cies have protested the new standard, say-
ing that it allows gas station owners and oil
companies to walk away from their respon-
sibilities.
When you take away the monitoring
wells from these sites, then we really are
left with no information to tell where the
plumes have moved. Now these sites are
being closed with contamination in the
groundwater presumably with the thought
that they will attenuate by themselves
without monitoring and that is certainly a
concern to the water district, said Roy
Herndon, chief hydrogeologist at the
Orange County Water District.

LOS ANGELES Miles
Unterreiner couldnt believe that he
was selected as a Rhodes Scholar.
Now, he cant wait to study at
Englands Oxford University next
October and launch a career to
advance human rights around the
world.
The Stanford University graduate
has spent the past year working at
a public interest think tank in
Santa Barbara, his hometown. He
was among three young people
from California who were awarded
the prestigious scholarships on
Sunday. Overall, 32 winners from
the United States were chosen.
The scholarships provide all
expenses for two or three years of
study at Oxford.
I feel very lucky to have been
selected, said Unterreiner, who
hopes to become an international
human rights lawyer and judge.
Unterreiner, who will study inter-
national relations at Oxford,
earned his bachelors and masters
in history from Stanford
University in 2012 and 2013. He
was a member of the varsity track
and eld and cross country teams.
He also worked for The Stanford
Daily, where he was a writer,
columnist and opinions managing
editor.
Another scholarship recipient,
Zarko Perovic, whos a 2012 gradu-
ate of the University of California,
Berkeley, also wants to pursue
international relations at Oxford.
Perovic learned about war crimes
while growing up in Serbia before
he knew their meaning, according
to his biography posted on the
Rhodes Trust website.
While at Berkeley, he worked as a
research assistant at the War
Crimes Studies Center and focused
on the Cambodian genocide. After
graduation, the San Diego resident
worked at the State Department and
the Auschwitz Institute for Peace
and Reconciliation.
The nal California recipient,
Aurora Grifn of Westlake Village
plans to study theology and
Christian ethics. Shes a senior at
Harvard University, where shes
studying the classics. She heads
the Harvard Catholic Student
Association and founded a fellow-
ship for Christian pre-medical stu-
dents. She previously spent a term
at Oxford studying philosophy.
Grifn said she was waiting in a
conference room after interviewing
with a law rm when she got the news.
It was surreal. I was over-
whelmed, honored, and humbled,
as I still am, she said, adding that,
Its sinking in, and I am just so
excited to go to Oxford.
The winners were selected from
857 applicants endorsed by 327
different colleges and universities.
Rhodes scholarships were creat-
ed in 1902 by the will of British
philanthropist Cecil Rhodes.
Winners are selected on the basis
of high academic achievement,
personal integrity, leadership
potential and physical vigor,
among other attributes.

WASHINGTON With their
destination and mission among
Americas closest guarded secrets,
the small group of ofcials hand-
picked by President Barack Obama
boarded a military plane in March.
The travel plans of the U.S.
diplomats and foreign policy
advisers were not on any public
itineraries. No reception greeted
them as they landed. But awaiting the
Americans in the remote and ancient
Gulf sultanate of Oman was the rea-
son for all the secrecy: a delegation
of Iranians ready to meet them.
It was at this rst high-level
gathering at a secure location in
the Omani capital of Muscat,
famous for its souk filled with
frankincense and myrrh, that the
Obama administration began lay-
ing the groundwork for this week-
ends historic nuclear pact between
world powers and Iran, The
Associated Press has learned.
Even Americas closest allies were
kept in the dark. Obama rst shared
the existence of the secret diploma-
cy with Israeli Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu in September,
and only then offered a limited
recounting of how long the discus-
sions between Iran and the United
States had been taking place.
The Obama administration then
informed the other ve nations
negotiating alongside the U.S.
Britain, China, France, Germany
and Russia. And since then much of
their public diplomacy with Iran
has focused on incorporating and
formalizing the progress made in
the private U.S.-Iranian talks.
The AP has learned that at least
ve secret meetings have occurred
between top Obama administration
and Iranian ofcials since March.
Deputy Secretary of State
William Burns and Jake Sullivan,
Vice President Joe Bidens top for-
eign policy adviser, led each U.S.
delegation. At the most recent face-
to-face talks, they were joined by
chief U.S. nuclear negotiator
Wendy Sherman.
It was at the nal get-together
that the two sides ultimately agreed
on the contours of the pact signed
before dawn Sunday by the so-
called P5+1 group of nations and
Iran, three senior administration
ofcials told the AP. All ofcials
spoke on condition of anonymity
because they werent authorized to
be quoted by name talking about
the sensitive diplomacy.
The AP was tipped to the rst
U.S.-Iranian meeting in March
shortly after it occurred, but the
White House and State Department
disputed elements of the account
and the AP could not conrm the
meeting. The AP learned of further
indications of secret diplomacy in
the fall and pressed the White
House and other ofcials further. As
the Geneva talks appeared to be
reaching their conclusion, senior
administration ofcials conrmed
to the AP the details of the exten-
sive outreach. They spoke only on
condition of anonymity because
they were not authorized to discuss
by name the secret talks.

WASHINGTON As Democrats
watched Senate Republicans use l-
ibuster powers to thwart more and
more of President Barack Obamas
agenda and nominees, they won-
dered how much worse it could get.
They nally reached a breaking
point this past week when party
leaders concluded that what they
called GOP obstruction had made a
mockery of American democracy.
The Senate vote Thursday to curb
some libuster powers, after years
of hesitation, will go down as a
singular moment. Historians may
view it as an inevitable step in the
relentless march of partisanship,
which severely has damaged the
ability of Congress to conduct even
routine business.
Senate Democrats opened them-
selves up to future retaliation by furi-
ous Republicans in order to let
Obama, a Democrat, do things many
of his predecessors typically did
with minimal fuss: ll executive
jobs and vacant judgeships.
Theyre at peace with the idea
that this president, along with future
presidents, deserve to, with rare
exceptions, put their own people in
place, said Jim Manley, who spoke
Friday with his former boss, Senate
Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev.
The current situation was unten-
able, Manley said, and some-
thing had to change.
The nal straw for Democrats
came when Republicans used the
libuster, which allows 41 of the
100 senators to block almost any
action, to bar Obama nominees
from three vacancies on a powerful fed-
eral appeals court. Republican sena-
tors didnt pretend the nominees were
unqualied, which struck some
Democrats as a virtual taunt.
Democrats dismissed the GOP claim
that the vacancies neednt be lled at
all.
In Democrats eyes, the Senates
45 Republicans had turned democra-
cy on its head. The party that lost
the past two presidential elections
and failed to win control of the
Senate nonetheless was dictating
who the president could or could not
appoint to important government
posts.
Todays pattern of obstruction,
it just isnt normal, Obama said,
praising the Senates 52-48 vote to
change the rules. Republicans used
the libuster as a reckless and
relentless tool, he said, simply
because they opposed the policies
that the American people voted for
in the last election.

WORLD 8
By Josef Federman
JERUSALEM Israels prime
minister harshly condemned the
international communitys
nuclear deal with Iran on Sunday
while Saudi Arabia remained con-
spicuously quiet, reecting the jit-
ters felt throughout the Middle
East over Irans acceptance on the
global stage.
Elsewhere, many welcomed the
agreement as an important rst
step toward curbing Irans suspect
nuclear program.
Israel and Western-allied Gulf
countries led by Saudi Arabia have
formed an unlikely alliance in
their opposition to Sundays deal,
joined together by shared con-
cerns about a nuclear-armed Iran
and the Tehrans growing regional
inuence.
While most Gulf countries
remained silent in the rst hours
after the deal was reached in
Geneva, Israeli Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu wasted little
time in criticizing it, calling it a
historic mistake and saying he
was not bound by the agreement.
Speaking to his Cabinet,
Netanyahu said the world had
become a more dangerous place
as a result of the deal. He reiterated
a long-standing threat to use mili-
tary action against Iran if needed,
declaring that Israel has the right
and the duty to defend itself by
itself.
Sundays agreement is just the
rst stage of what is hoped to
bring about a nal deal ensuring
that Iran does not develop a
nuclear weapon.
Under the deal, Iran will curb
many of its nuclear activities for
six months in exchange for limit-
ed and gradual relief from painful
economic sanctions. The six-
month period will give diplomats
time to negotiate a more sweeping
agreement.
The package includes freezing
Irans ability to enrich uranium at
a maximum 5 percent level, which
is well below the threshold for
weapons-grade material and is
aimed at easing Western concerns
that Tehran could one day seek
nuclear arms. International moni-
tors will oversee Irans compli-
ance.
For Iran, keeping the enrich-
ment program active was a critical
goal. Irans leaders view the coun-
trys ability to make nuclear fuel
as a source of national pride and an
essential part of nuclear self-suf-
ciency.
But Israel views any enrichment
as unacceptable, saying making
low-level enriched uranium
weapons grade is relatively sim-
ple. It demands all enrichment be
halted, and that Irans abilities to
produce uranium be rolled back.
Netanyahu had also called for
economic sanctions to be
increased. Israel fears that Iran will
use the diplomatic process as
cover to trick the international
community, much the way North
Korea did in its march toward a
nuclear bomb.
Today the world became a much
more dangerous place, Netanyahu
said.
The White House said President
Barack Obama had phoned
Netanyahu to discuss the tentative
deal with Iran, with the two leaders
reafrming their shared goal of
preventing Iran from obtaining a
nuclear weapon.

VATICAN CITY The Vatican
publicly unveiled a handful of
bone fragments purportedly
belonging to St. Peter on Sunday,
reviving the scientic debate and
tantalizing mystery over whether
the relics found in a shoe box truly
belong to the rst pope.
The nine pieces of bone sat nes-
tled like rings in a jewel box
inside a bronze display case on the
side of the altar during a Mass
commemorating the end of the
Vaticans yearlong celebration of
the Christian faith. It was the rst
time they had ever been exhibited
in public.
Pope Francis prayed before the
fragments at the start of Sundays
service and then clutched the case
in his arms for several minutes
after his homily.
No pope has ever denitively
declared the fragments to belong
to the Apostle Peter, but Pope Paul
VI in 1968 said fragments found in
the necropolis under St. Peters
Basilica were identied in a way
that we can consider convincing.
Some archaeologists dispute the
nding.
But last week, a top Vatican of-
cial, Archbishop Rino Fisichella,
said it almost doesnt matter if
archaeologists one day denitive-
ly determine that the bones arent
Peters, saying Christians have
prayed at Peters tomb for two mil-
lennia and will continue to,
regardless.
Its not as if pilgrims who go
to the altar (of Peters tomb) think
that in that moment in which they
profess their faith that below them
are the relics of Peter, or of anoth-
er or another still, he told
reporters. They go there to pro-
fess the faith.
The relics were discovered dur-
ing excavations begun under St.
Peters Basilica in the years fol-
lowing the 1939 death of Pope
Pius XI, who had asked to be
buried in the grottoes where
dozens of popes are buried, accord-
ing to the 2012 book by veteran
Vatican correspondent Bruno
Bartoloni, The Ears of the
Vatican.
During the excavations, archae-
ologists discovered a funerary
monument with a casket built in
honor of Peter and an engraving in
Greek that read Petros eni, or
Peter is here.
The scholar of Greek antiquities,
Margherita Guarducci, who had
deciphered the engraving contin-
ued to investigate and learned that
one of the basilica workers had
been given the remains found
inside the casket and stored them
in a shoe box kept in a cupboard.
She reported her ndings to Paul
VI who later proclaimed that there
was a convincing argument that
the bones belonged to Peter.
Top Vatican Jesuits and other
archaeologists strongly denied
the claim, but had little recourse.
No Pope had ever permitted an
exhaustive study, partly because a
1,000-year-old curse attested by
secret and apocalyptic documents,
threatened anyone who disturbed
the peace of Peters tomb with the
worst possible misfortune,
Bartoloni wrote.
The Vatican newspaper,
lOsservatore Romano, published
excerpts of the book last year,
giving his account a degree of of-
cial sanction.
In 1971, Paul VI was given an
urn containing the relics, which
were kept inside the private papal
chapel inside the Apostolic Palace
and exhibited for the popes pri-
vate veneration each June 29, for
the feast of Sts. Peter and Paul.
Sunday marked the rst time they
were shown in public.

OPINION 9
Tech-free
Editor,
It was great to read your article
Eighth-graders try going tech-free
in the Nov. 22 edition of the Daily
Journal. I have felt for years that too
much time is spent using these
assorted technical machines by kids
in grammar and junior high schools
(seventh through ninth grades).
This is an intense conversation
topic I have with people for the exact
reasons written in this article. Kids
and adults are losing face-to-face
communication and socialization
skills. They no longer go out and
meet with their friends or play,
depending on age. Instead, they
depend on the various games, email
or texting. No time limits are placed
by the parents using these technical
toys.
When I was young, we had a limit
on how much TV was watched each
night. This was after homework was
done by hand and reading was done
from a book, not computers. Are the
reading, spelling and grammar skills
at the appropriate levels since com-
puters do these checks automatical-
ly?
Entertainment with friends was fun.
We would play board or card games,
walking around the neighborhood,
going places or just sitting outside
and talking. Grammar school age, we
played hopscotch and tag, jumped
rope or played other outside the
door games. This was San
Francisco. Are cellphones and com-
puters really necessary at these ages?

Private health
insurance is wrong
Editor,
The very idea of private health
insurance is wrong. Its wrong
because no one should make a prot
over whether you get sick or not.
When we send our children to school,
what is our rst option, public or pri-
vate? Of course it is public except for
those who want something different,
and they enroll their children in the
private school of their choice, which
they pay for. In fact, it even goes fur-
ther than that. In the United States,
there are a variety of universities and
colleges that are also public and sub-
sidized by taxpayers. If education is
this important, than health care is
too. We dont do this with health care
though. It is the opposite with our
health care. We use a variety of pri-
vate providers and options.
One mans remark in the Daily
Journal this week is very true (Rick
Zobeleins letter, The liberal per-
spective, in the Nov. 20 edition of
the Daily Journal). The government
in Washington does get its money
from you, the taxpayer, and it uses it
to pay for our countrys needs. The
only problem is when it gets too
much money from those who cant
afford it, and too little from those
who can. This is the Republican way.
Do you remember the famous quote
from George W. Bush about the
wealthiest Americans? It was this: I
ask Congress to act responsibly and
make the tax cuts permanent.

Honor the hero
Editor,
Would we be having a national
examination of the role the NSAand
other spy agencies in a free society, if
Edward Snowden hadnt revealed
NSAs secret activities? Accusations
of massive spying would be met with
ofcial denials, as they have for
years. The lack of oversight and
effective protection of our privacy
rights remains a threat to us and future
generations. Rather than being hon-
ored as a hero, this brave whistle-
blower is being charged as a traitor.
That just aint right.

B
eyond the fact that the World
Series champion Boston
Beard crew, Brawley-bred
MLB star Sergio Romo and countless
other celebrity facial hair farmers and
mustachioed men of mystery have
made the trend very hot right now, this
month so far has been more unkempt
than most.
The mo hairier, the mo better in
Movember, and No-Shave November,
of course. And its all been for a good
cause.
Over the last few years, the
November facial hair experiment has
grown in popularity for its kitsch, for
one, but also because mens health
issues never quite get as much notori-
ety as womens health issues.
Just about every segment of
American society, from professional
athletes to elementary-age students
know that October is dedicated to
breast cancer awareness and general
cancer awareness for women, and they
dedicate the 31 days of the month to
all manners of pink, and rightly so.
Its nice to see men and their con-
cerns starting to get more love.
Locally weve seen many guys get-
ting in the spirit, growing out their
chin dreads and upper-lip locks to raise
awareness for a variety of male-orient-
ed diseases like prostate cancer and
testicular cancer. One of the charities
even promotes mental health and liv-
ing with mental illness for men.
The mustaches are being grown, in
some cases, as part of Movember, a
worldwide male health issue campaign
with roots in Australia some 30 years
ago, but which has since branched out
to dozens of countries around the
world. Ofcial registrants for the
movement through the website
www.us.movember.com raise money
in teams. Some $446 million has been
raised by participants over the years,
according to the Movember website.
This is a far-reaching organization
with major early-December celebra-
tions for the men (and women) who
helped the cause throughout the coun-
try. San Diego hosts one such party
Dec. 5.
Meanwhile, No-Shave November
isnt quite as neat and tidy as the mus-
taches of Movember. During No-Shave
November, which is directly afliated
with the American Cancer Society,
men are encouraged to let it all grow
lip, chin and cheek for a full-beard-
ed look. ACS site doesnt have nearly
as much info as Movember, but the
society got into the growth game in
2009 through a Facebook campaign
that started with fewer than 50 men.
Either way, both organizations are
doing great work. To learn more about
Movember and how to help, go to
www.us.movember.com/donate and for
No-Shave November, www.no-shaven-
ovember.com
We realize, though, that for all the
good coming out of these men and
their whiskers, we imagine there are
many wives and girlfriends longing
for their return of their baby-faced
boyfriends and hubbies. Only a few
more days, ladies. Let them have this.
Letting it grow for mens health How toattend a city
retirement party
R
ecently a letter writer complained that a column
about a retirement party for the city of San
Mateos city manager which listed many of the
attendees was not relevant for non-attendees because
such a gathering was out of reach for the average citizen.
Most people, according to the writer, dont have the
opportunity to meet with or become familiar with coun-
cilmembers or city officials or get invited to these par-
ties. His criticism provided fodder for the following
how you can attend such a party and how you can get face
to face with the citys department heads all for free. How
you can follow what your city councilmembers and plan-
ning commissioners are up to all for free. How you
can hear staff presentations on issues of the day and the
publics comment. Again, all for free.
All it takes is time and interest. On a scale of 1 to 10
with 10 taking the most time here are some options: The
best way to get invited to one of these retirement parties
is to volunteer for the city or your neighborhood in a
meaningful way. You could apply to be on one of the
citys several boards and commissions (Planning, Public
Works, Library,
Community Relations,
Parks and Recreation,
Personnel, Senior
Citizens), or be a represen-
tative on the mosquito and
vector control district. Or
you could be very active in
your local neighborhood
association. These activi-
ties definitely take time
usually between a 5-10,
depending on how dedicat-
ed you are. Many of the
attendees at the Susan
Loftus retirement party
were in fact average citi-
zens members of boards
and commissions or resi-
dents active in their neighborhood associations. And, by
the way, the city is looking for a diverse group of resi-
dents to serve on these boards and commissions. And
neighborhood associations are always looking for new
blood.

Nov. 22 is past as are most of the reminders of the
50th anniversary of President John Kennedys assassina-
tion. But for those of us who were old enough to experi-
ence that day, its a memory which never fades.
I can remember how and when I learned the news as if it
happened yesterday. My eldest son was in afternoon
kindergarten at Meadow Heights. We were watching
Miss Nancy, a favorite childrens television program,
before getting ready for school. Suddenly an announcer
interrupted Miss Nancy with the astounding news bul-
letin that the president had been shot. I tried to control
my emotions and not frighten my son. I dont remember
what I said to him but I do remember trying to keep
everything within. I was successful until we walked to
school, and saw the flag at Meadow Heights at half-staff.
Then, I lost it and the tears and grief and shock came
tumbling out.
The following Saturday was the annual Big Game
between Cal and Stanford. There was some debate as to
whether the game should be canceled. But it was not. As
the crowd rose at Stanford stadium for the national
anthem, a single trumpet soulfully played The Star
Spangled Banner. There was no hooting and screaming
after. Just dead silence except for the sound of wiping
tears.

IRVINGTON, N.J. Using
eminent domain to bail out
underwater homeowners wont
fix all Irvingtons problems, but
Mayor Wayne Smith thinks any-
thing that can help some resi-
dents of his economically strug-
gling township is worth trying.
Its not a panacea, Smith
said. But it looks like it could
help some people.
Irvington is the second munic-
ipality in the country to declare
its intent to use eminent domain
to purchase homes in foreclo-
sure, behind Richmond, Calif.
Support for the tactic is gaining
traction nationwide in munici-
palities besieged by foreclo-
sures. Irvingtons neighbor
Newark, as well as Brockton,
Mass., Chicago, and Yonkers,
N.Y., have floated or are studying
the idea.
But the practice, which gives
municipalities the power to cir-
cumvent mortgage contracts,
acquire loans from bondholders,
write them down and give them
back to the bondholders, is con-
troversial. It has drawn zealous
opposition from Wall Street, real
estate groups and some in
Washington.
According to Cornell
University law professor Robert
C. Hockett, who helped devise
the plan, eminent domain works
because only government has the
power to forcibly sidestep mort-
gage contracts.
The eminent domain plans
focus on so-called private label
security mortgages, or ones that
are not backed by the U.S. gov-
ernment. And that worries some
who believe the use of eminent
domain could cause investors not
to put money in mortgage-
backed securities.
By investing in this type of
security, you risk the potential
that a municipality, without any-
thing you have control over,
says, Its OK to take that con-
tract and give it a substantial
haircut. Thats the risk you take?
Its unquantifiable, said Ti m
Cameron, managing director and
head of SIFMAs asset manage-
ment group. The group repre-
sents security firms, banks and
asset managers.
Cameron said that the financial
industry wonders if eminent
domain could be a slippery slope
and that it penalizes people who
save and invest.
Where do you stop? he asked.
If we do it with homes, why
couldnt we do it with credit
cards?
In Washi ngt on, Texas
Republican Rep. Jeb Hensarling
and Calif. Republican Rep. John
Campbell proposed legislation
that would bar the federal govern-
ment from backing mortgages in
places that use eminent domain
to seize mortgages. SIFMA and
11 other groups sent a letter to
Congress opposing the use of
eminent domain.
Some cities are backing away
because of the pressure or legal
hurdles in state eminent domain
law.
In San Bernardino County,
Calif., which floated the plan
last year as part of a joint power
authority with its municipalities,
the blowback from banks was
immediate, said county
spokesman David Wert, and pop-
ular support waned.
At the end of the day, the joint
power authority said we dont
have anyone in the county who
wants to do it, and we have
experts telling us it would be a
disaster, he said. So why would
we want to move forward with
it?
In North Las Vegas, Nev. ,
Councilwoman Anita Wood said
the state has very, very restric-
tive laws regarding eminent
domain, and attorneys found that
it simply wouldnt work in the
city.
A lawsuit challenging
Richmonds plan was dismissed
by a California district court
judge in September. Moodys
Investors Services called the
plan a credit negative for the
city.
But in other places, officials
are hoping the plan can help at
least a few homeowners whose
lives are crippled under the
weight of foreclosure and cities
that are suffering from blight and
scores of abandoned homes. The
tactic is gaining the support of
social justice groups and, in New
Jersey, the states chapter of the
American Civil Liberties Union,
which has traditionally been
wary of using eminent domain.
Its executive director, Udi Ofer,
said the organization consulted
with law professors and all
believe using eminent domain in
this situation would be applica-
ble under New Jersey law.
In Irvington, Smith said only
homeowners who are employed
and can pay back the mortgages
would be eligible. The city is
performing a legal study of the
proposal.
Eminent domain to fight foreclosures is divisive
By Anne D'Innocenzio
NEWYORK This holiday sea-
son, Americans may not spend
their green unless they see more
red.
Despite signs that the economy
is improving, big store chains like
Wal-Mart and Kohls dont expect
Americans to have much holiday
shopping cheer unless they see
bold, red signs that offer huge dis-
counts. As a result, shoppers are
seeing big sales events earlier and
more often than in previous holi-
day seasons.
Retailers are trying to lure shop-
pers like Marissa Anwar, who has
been doing more bargain hunting
compared with last year.
The operations consultant, who
lives in Toronto and New York City,
said the economy hasnt been
great and shes lost clients. As a
result, she cut her shopping budget
to $2,800 from last years $4,000.
I was a former `spend-
aholic,said Anwar, 29. Now, I
want to make sure I have the
money before I spend it.
Its a problem that retailers
know all too well. Since the reces-
sion began in late 2007, stores
have had to offer financially-
strapped Americans ever bigger
price cuts just to get them into
stores. But those discounts eat
away at prot s.
So far, Wal-Mart, Target and
Kohls are among more than two
dozen major chains that lowered
their prot outlooks for either the
quarter or the year. Abig reason is
the expectation that theyll have
to offer huge discounts in order to
get shoppers to spend.
There are already signs that
retailers are aggressively discount-
ing. Wal-Mart, for instance, on
Friday started matching or beating
the prices that certain competitors
like Best Buy are advertising for
some toys and electronics for the
day after Thanksgiving - known as
Black Friday. Best Buy also plans
to match rivals prices, even after
customers have purchased items.
And Target, better known for its
whimsical advertising, is touting
its prices in holiday TV ads for the
rst time in at least a decade.
The tempered expectations, ear-
lier discounting and lowered prot
outlooks from retailers come even
though there are indications that
the economy is recovering. The
job market is making strides. The
housing market is starting to come
back. And the stock market keeps
hitting new highs. All that would
ordinarily lead Americans to spend
more.
But so far, those improvements
havent been enough to shore up
consumer confidence. In fact,
Americans condence in the econ-
omy is at its lowest level since
April.
Stores know that they are well
into a ght, said Ken Perkins,
president of the research firm
RetailMetrics. The vast majority
of consumers are distressed.
Not that there arent glimmers of
hope that Americans will spend
again.
Retail sales were up 0.4 percent
in October, after being at the pre-
vious month, according to the
Commerce Department. Americans
spent on big ticket item such as
cars and furniture, but that may
have left them with less room for
more discretionary times like
clothing this holiday season.
Overall, The National Retail
Federation expects retail sales to
be up 3.9 percent to $602.1 bil-
lion during the last two months of
the year. Thats higher than last
years 3.5 percent growth, but
below the 6 percent pace seen
before the recession.
Retailers say economic worries
continue to weigh on shoppers
heading into the holiday shopping
season.
We continue to see anxiety
regarding the economy and the
ability to stay within household
budgets, particularly among lower
and middle-income consumers,
said Kathee Tesija, executive vice
president of merchandising for
Target, which trimmed its annual
prot outlook on Thursday.
In particular, some Americans
still are getting used to smaller
paychecks because of a 2 percent-
age point increase in the Social
Security payroll tax that started on
Jan. 1. That means that take-home
pay for a household earning
$50,000 a year has been cut by
$1,000. That was a concern Wal-
Mart noted on Nov. 14 when it
lowered its annual prot guidance
for the second time in three
months.
Its going to be as competitive
of a market as weve ever seen,
said Charles Holley, Wal-Marts
chief nancial ofcer, adding that
among the issues that the dis-
counter faces are the economic
conditions that the customer is
under.
Americans not willing to spend without deals
U.S. gas prices up
average of 3 cents a gallon
CAMARILLO After nine weeks
of falling gas prices, the average
U.S. price of a gallon of gasoline is
up 3 cents over the past two weeks.
The Lundberg Survey of fuel prices
released Sunday says the price of a
gallon of regular is $3.25. Midgrade
costs an average of $3.44 a gallon,
and premium is $3.59.
Industry analyst Trilby Lundberg
said its the first price hike since
Sept. 6.
Of the cities surveyed in the Lower
48 states, the highest average, $3.58
a gallon, was found in San Diego.
The lowest, $2.93, was in Tulsa,
Okla.
New York only state still on
board with school data plan
NEW YORK New York is the
only state still fully on board with a
technology companys plan to create
statewide databases for every public
school students grades, tests scores
and attendance records.
Concerns from parents about who
will have access to the information,
how long it will be held and whether
it will be used for marketing purpos-
es have stalled the momentum of a
startup that promised to bring effi-
ciency and cost savings to school
record-keeping.
Atlanta data-storage company
inBloom drew early interest from
several states, but nearly all have
pulled back.
New Yorks Education Department
is going forward with plans to send
student information to inBloom
sometime after Jan. 1. A group of
New York City parents sued this
month to block the release of that
data.
U.S. rig count down
1 this week to 1,761
HOUSTON Oilfield services
company Baker Hughes Inc. says the
number of rigs exploring for oil and
natural gas in the U.S. fell by one
this week to 1,761.
The Houston-based company said
in its weekly report Friday that
1,387 rigs were exploring for oil and
369 for gas. Five were listed as mis-
cellaneous. A year ago there were
1,817 rigs.
Of the major oil- and gas-producing
states, Texas gained six rigs, West
Virginia gained five, North Dakota
gained two and Kansas, Louisiana
and Wyoming each gained one.
California lost five rigs, Oklahoma
lost four, Pennsylvania lost three,
New Mexico lost two and Arkansas
and Colorado each lost one. Alaska,
Ohio and Utah were unchanged.
The U.S. rig count peaked at 4,530
in 1981 and bottomed at 488 in
1999.
Dim traffic sensors dull
how smart freeways are
LOS ANGELES Californias free-
ways arent as smart as they used to
be.
Buried under thousands of miles of
pavement are 27,000 traffic sensors
that are supposed to help trou-
bleshoot both daily commutes and
long-term maintenance needs on
some of the nations most heavily
used roadways.
And about 9,000 of them do not
work.
The sensors are a key part of the
intelligent transportation system
designed, for example, to detect con-
gestion that quickly builds before
crews can clear an accident.
Blame the malfunctions on old
equipment, construction and even
copper wire theft.
California is not alone states
including Utah, Texas and Michigan
have struggled with sensors, too.

CSM dominates the Bothman Bulldog Bowl
Knights capture CCS volleyball crown
By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
With the CCCAA Northern California
championship game set to be played a week
from Saturday over in Oroville, the College
of San Mateo football team felt it was nec-
essary to send a message to the higher pow-
ers of junior college football.
At 9-1 coming into the eighth edition of
the Bothman Bulldog Bowl, every man in
the CSM locker room believed they should
be playing for a spot in the state champi-
onship.
So on Saturday, against a solid American
River College squad, the Bulldogs decided
before kick off that, come game time, they
would let their football do all the talking.
And boy, it said more than a couple of
mouthfuls.
The College of San Mateo set various
Bulldog Bowl records en route to an
absolute whopping of the Beavers. In a
game that was way over before the halftime
buzzer, CSM won its seventh home bowl
game 75-9.
Yes, do not adjust your newspaper, the 75-
9 outcome is not a misprint. Neither is the
Bulldog Bowl record 675 yards of total
offense by CSM 582 of which came on
the ground.
It just shows what kind of football team
this is, said CSM assistant head coach and
defensive coordinator Tim Tulloch. This
team is special. They play hard every down,
it doesnt matter the score, doesnt matter
where. And this was really the best team on
the other side of the conference. This was to
make a statement that we should be playing
in that championship game. We should have
an opportunity to do it.
The message was loud and clear consider-
ing that the Beavers came into the game
ranked in the top five (for northern
California) and, in theory, they were the
toughest opponent the Bulldogs could

SAN JOSE - No, the "M" on their uniforms
isn't a superhero insignia. Sure, they have
their fair share of super "M" names, from
Morgan Dressel to Melissa Cairo to Elisa
Merten to Maddie Huber, Maddie Stewart, and
Maddy Frappier.
But, in fact, the logo doesn't stand for any
individual. What the gold-encircled "M" on
their uniforms does stand for is a Menlo team
that truly is the sum of its parts, as the top-seed
Knights demonstrated Saturday by capturing
the Central Coast Section Division IV title.
With a clean sweep of No. 3-seed Soquel 25-
13, 25-13, 25-22 Menlo celebrated its
eighth girls' volleyball crown in program his-
tory, and its rst since 2008.
The Knights capped a relatively awless per-
formance at Independence High School in text-
book fashion, punctuating a long rally, and
the match, with a low dig from Cairo, a cross-
court set by Merten, and a crushing kill by
Dressel to nish.
"I think everyone just did their job today, "
Cairo said. "Everyone came out, everyone
wanted to win, and I think it showed. It's just
that we started off strong and we nished."
They sure did. Menlo made a statement by
never trailing in the match. In Game 1, with
Menlo leading 8-6, Soquel ashed its talent in
trying to close the decit with a tremendous
diving save by senior Gabby David. But the
effort of Soquel's team captain was denied as
Merten answered with a two-handed drop-shot.
The point sparked a four-point service run by
Menlo senior Kate Gilhuly, staking her
Knights to a 13-6 lead which Cairo said "was
really a big turn that we had in this game."
Because of the Menlo rotation, Gilhuly's
service run helped two-fold in that it gave
Cairo a rare respite, as the senior libero rotated
out to watch from the sidelines. By the time
she subbed back in, Menlo had established its
prowess at net, tabbing six blocks in the set,
while Lida Vandermeer emerged as an offensive
force. The long-limbed 6-foot outside hitter
tabbed four of her nine match kills in Game 1,
and also went on a ve-point service run
towards the end of the set.
"[Winning the rst set] denitely gave us
some condence, but we didn't get too con-
dent because they're really good competition,"
Vandermeer said.
Arested Cairo only added to the ght, as her
usual ery presence intensied in Game 2.
Coupled with the setting prowess of Merten
who totaled 36 assists Cairo helped balance

SANTACLARA - The Sacred Heart Prep and
Menlo School boys water polo teams have a
long history in the Central Coast Section nals.
Saturday was the eighth time the two have
met for the CCS Division II championship and
it was Sacred Heart Prep that evened the record
at four wins apiece as the Gators rallied in the
second half for a 12-9 victory at the Santa
Clara International Swim Center Saturday
morning.
The win is the Gatorsthird championship in
a row and sixth in seven years. The one year
they didnt win it? 2010, when Menlo beat
them.
We were down at half, said SHP coach
Brian Kreutzkamp. But I still had a high level
of condence.
Being the No. 1 seed in the tournament and
one of the top teams in the state will do that for
a team. But playing and beating Menlo, the
No. 2 seed in the tournament and also a state
power, is no easy task.
The Gators found that out rst hand as the
Knights scored rst and never trailed through
the rst two and half quarters.
But once Menlo hole set Nick Bisconti
picked up his third and nal kickout early
in the fourth period, the Gators nally got the
upper hand. SHP freshman Jackson Enright
buried a shot from the wing off an assist from
older brother Harrison Enright with 11 sec-
onds left in the third period to give the Gators
a 7-6 lead to set the tone for the nal seven
minutes.
In the fourth, with Bisconti out of the game,
the Gators went to work, scoring ve times.
The Stanford-bound Harrison Enright scored
three of his four goals over the nal seven
minutes of play as the Knights had no answer
for him in the set.
Harrison was just a beast in the fourth quar-
ter. [Menlo did] a good job of double- and

SANTA CLARA The opponent was dif-
ferent, but the result was the same for the
Sacred Heart Prep girls' water polo team:
another Central Coast Section Division II
championship. SHP jumped on Castilleja
early, taking a 6-2 lead after one period and
cruised to a 14-7 win and their seventh-
straight title at the Santa Clara
International Swim Center Saturday after-
noon.
Despite having won a CCS championship
in all seven of his seasons at Sacred Heart
Prep, coach Jon Burke said the feeling never
gets old.
"This is all about the girls," Burke said.
"It's a new team every year."
Every year starts new, but for the last
seven years it's ended the same. And with a
freshman leading the way, chances are good
SHP can build on its success for the next
several years. Maddy Johnston was virtual-
ly unstoppable for SHP. She nished with
seven goals, scoring ve in the rst half
alone and nding the back of the net in all
four periods.
Because SHP was so dominant, Johnston
didn't play much after the rst period, but
when she was in there, she managed to
score. "She was on re [Saturday]," Burke
said, adding Johnston became the rst SHP
female water polo player to score seven
goals in a CCS title game. Johnston scored
three time in the rst period alone as SHP
scored six goals on seven shots. It led 4-0
before Castilleja got on the scoreboard.
Malaika Koshy added a pair of goals in the
period and Morgan McCracken rounded out
the rst-period scoring.
SHP added four more in the second period
to lead 10-3 at halftime. None was more

OAKLAND With one drive to
determine whether Tennessee or
Oakland would move right into the
thick of the AFC playoff race,
Ryan Fitzpatrick stepped up for
the Titans.
Fitzpatrick threw a 10-yard
touchdown pass to Kendall Wright
with 10 seconds remaining to cap
a mistake-free performance that
led Tennessee to a 23-19 victory
over the Raiders on Sunday.
That would have been a big, big
loss for us in terms of what the rest
of the season was going to look
like, Fitzpatrick said. We knew
this was a gotta-have-it drive at
the end of the game and the guys
really stepped up.
Fitzpatrick also threw a 54-yard
TD pass to Justin Hunter and Rob
Bironas added three eld goals to
give Tennessee (5-6) its second
win in seven games. But despite
the recent slump, the Titans nd
themselves in a six-way tie for the
nal playoff spot in the AFC.
We knew going into this one,
in our world it was a playoff
game, coach Mike Munchak said.
We couldnt fall to 4-7, we knew
that. Im sure they felt the same
way, so that was a huge drive.
The Raiders (4-7) missed a
chance to get into that group as
the defense failed to hold onto a
late lead and Sebastian Janikowski
missed two eld goals.
After Bironas put Tennessee up
16-12 with his third eld goal,
Matt McGloin led the Raiders on a
75-yard scoring drive. He com-
pleted all four attempts and
accounted for all but 1 yard on the
drive, capping it with a 27-yard
pass to Marcel Reece with 6:10 to
play.
Fitzpatrick calmly moved
Tennessee downeld, completing
eight of 10 passes. Then facing
third-and-goal from the 10,
Fitzpatrick found Wright, who
beat Tracy Porter on an out pattern
from the slot and fell into the end
zone for the winning score.
Ryan made a great throw,
Wright said. All I had to do was
look it in and get in the end zone.
Before the start of that drive we
said we werent going to let Rob
Bironas come out here and kick a
eld goal to tie it up. We wanted to
go down there and score seven.
Wed been in this predicament a
lot this season where we had the
ball and we couldnt nish. We
nally put it together and nished
today.
The play ittingly came on third
down, when Fitzpatrick was at his
best on his 31st birthday. He con-
verted 10 of 18 third downs in the
game, often in long-yardage situa-
tions in his best game yet in place
of the injured Jake Locker. He
completed 30 of 42 passes for 320
yards none bigger than the
throw to Wright.
Hunter and Wright were his
favorite targets, gaining 109 and
103 yards, respectively.
They just out-executed us, plain
and simple, Porter said. Whether
it was game plan, guys out of posi-
tion on certain things, coverages,
landmarks, were supposed to get
on the quarterback. We were just
out-executed.
Fitzpatrick and the Titans capi-
talized on a blown assignment for
the rst touchdown of the game on
the opening drive of the third quar-
ter. Hunter was left wide open and
caught a pass 17 yards downeld
before juking Phillip Adams and
Brandian Ross and racing to the
end zone for the score that put
Tennessee up 13-9.
The Raiders answered with a
good drive before stalling at the
30. Janikowski missed his second
field goal as his season-long
struggles continue as he adjusts to
new holder Marquette King after
the departure of longtime mate
Shane Lechler in the offseason.
McGloin, an undrafted rookie
out of Penn State, put the Raiders
in position for a second straight
win after his three-touchdown, no-
interception performance last
week in Houston. He completed 19
of 32 passes for 260 yards to earn
a third start Thursday in Dallas, but
also threw an interception that set
up Tennessees second eld goal.
Up and down day, McGloin
said. Youre going to have days
like that. I thought we missed on a
couple of opportunities offensive-
l y, but well go back to the draw-
ing board.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. The final
error in a game filled with mistakes
helped the New England Patriots to a
stunning comeback win.
Stephen Gostkowski kicked a 31-
yard field goal in overtime after a
misplayed punt return by Denver,
lifting the Patriots to a 34-31 victo-
ry over the Broncos on Sunday night.
We had some plays in the first half
that didnt go our way so it was nice
to get a good bounce and we needed
it, said Tom Brady, who helped the
Patriots put together a terrific come-
back in the second half.
Denvers Tony Carter ran into Ryan
Allens punt after it landed and Nate
Ebner recovered for New England at
the Broncos 13-yard line. After Brady
ran twice to line up the kick,
Gostkowski connected for his 21st
successful field goal attempt.
The Patriots lost fumbles on their
first three possessions, but Brady
threw for three touchdowns to lead
the Patriots (8-3) from a 24-0 half-
time deficit to a 31-24 lead as New
England scored on its first five pos-
sessions of the second half. Then
Peyton Manning threw an 11-yard
scoring pass to Demaryius Thomas
for the Broncos (9-2), tying it at 31.
You cant move the ball when
youre losing it, Patriots coach Bill
Belichick said. Youve got to hang
onto it.
But Carters gaffe was the third
lost fumble for the Broncos in the
second half.
It was really a tale of two
halves, Denver interim coach Jack
Del Rio said. We just had a fluke
play at the end.
The early turnovers helped Denver
to a big halftime advantage, but the
Patriots took the lead when Brady hit
Julian Edelman for a TD early in the
fourth. Gostkowskis 31-yard field
goal made it 31-24 midway through
the fourth.
We calmed down. We played each
play one play at time, Edelman said
of the difference in the second part of
the game. We didnt turn the ball
over in the second half.
But Manning, who had thrown for
only 73 yards in the first 3 1/2 quar-
ters, led the Broncos on an 80-yard
drive. Twice the Broncos were rescued
by penalties: First when a defensive
holding penalty negated an intercep-
tion, and again when a pass interfer-
ence on third-and-7 f.

CHARGERS 41, CHIEFS 38
KANSAS CITY, Mo. Philip Rivers
came through when the San Diego
Chargers needed him most.
Rivers threw for 392 yards and three
touchdowns, the nal one a 26-yarder to
Seyi Ajirotutu with 24 seconds remaining
to give the Chargers a 41-38 victory over
the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday and end
a three-game losing streak.
The Chiefs had taken the lead when Alex
Smith hit Dwayne Bowe for a go-ahead
score with 1:22 left. But the Chargers (5-
6) still had two timeouts, and they used
both as they quickly move downfield.
Ajirotutus TD in tight coverage was just
his third catch of the season.
It also represented the eighth and nal
lead change in the game.
Smith threw for 292 yards and three
touchdowns for the Chiefs, who dropped
their second straight after a 9-0 start. They
also lost top pass rushers Tamba Hali and
Justin Houston to injuries and now have to
turn their attention to the Denver Broncos
next week.
Jamaal Charles added 115 yards rushing
and two touchdowns. Donnie Avery had
four catches for 91 yards and a score as
Kansas City produced its best point total
of the season.
PACKERS 26, VIKINGS 26
GREEN BAY, Wis. Backup quarter-
back Matt Flynn threw for 218 yards to
help the Packers storm back from a 16-
point decit, but Minnesota and Green
Bay could only muster eld goals in over-
time.
Mason Crosby hit from 20 yards at
10:28 of the extra period and Blair Walsh
connected from 35 with 3:54 left.
Greg Jennings, playing his rst game at
Lambeau Field as a member of the Vikings
(3-8-1), dropped a third-down pass with
2: 11 left. The Packers (5-5-1) also stum-
bled on their next possession.
One last chance for the Vikings went
nowhere with 1 second left, and the teams
walked off with the rst tie in the NFL
since the Rams and 49ers ended 24-24 on
Nov. 11, 2012. It was the rst game under
the tiebreaking rules instituted in 2012
that ended in a tie after both teams kicked
eld goals to begin the extra period. It was
the second time a game had each team
make field goals to open overtime;
Houston won the other last November
over Jacksonville.
COWBOYS 24, GIANTS 21
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. Tony
Romo threw two touchdowns and led a
drive that set up Dan Bailey 35-yard eld
goal on the nal play. Dallas ended the
Giants four-game winning streak and
most of their playoff hopes.
The victory moved the Cowboys (6-5)
into a rst-place tie with idle Philadelphia
in the NFC East and left the Giants (4-7)
wondering about what they gave away in
two losses to Dallas.
Romo hit two crucial third-down passes
on the 14-play drive that covered the nal
4:45 after New York tied the game on a 4-
yard touchdown pass from Eli Manning to
Louis Murphy Jr. and a 2-point conver-
sion run by Andre Brown.

down on a 50-yard fumble return by Jeff
Heath.

MACAU Manny Pacquiao
defeated Brandon Rios by unani-
mous decision on Sunday in a
victory the Philippine lawmaker
dedicated to the victims and sur-
vivors of Typhoon Haiyan.
Back in the ring for the first
time in almost a year, Pacquiao
wore Rios down with his trade-
mark combinations and won
120-108, 119-109 and 118-110
on the scorecards at The
Venetian casino in Macau to
grab the WBO international wel-
terweight title.
It was an emotional victory for
Pacquiao as his country strug-
gles to recover from the devas-
tating typhoon that killed thou-
sands.
This is not about my come-
back, Pacquiao said in the ring.
My victory is a symbol of my
peoples comeback from a natu-
ral disaster and a natural
tragedy.
Pacquiao got the better of the
opening two rounds, sending
Rios to the canvas in the open-
ing frame, although the referee
ruled it a slip rather than a
knockdown.
The American asserted himself
in the third, landing some crisp
blows that raised hopes of a gen-
uine contest. But Pacquiao
spurred on by a capacity crowd at
the 13, 000-seat Cotai Arena,
including many Filipino fans
dominated the remainder of the
contest.
Rios was game, continually
walking forward to challenge
Pacquiao, but was unable to land
any significant blows.
After seven rounds, Rios was
getting attention to cuts under
both eyebrows, and with the
scores going against him, need-
ed something special.
Pacquiao was on guard
throughout the closing rounds,
mindful of getting knocked out
in his previous fight when he
walked into a savage right by
Juan Manuel Marquez. He didnt
have to worry. A t i ri ng Ri os
offered little threat.
Recovering from the knock-
out and giving a good show was
what I wanted to prove to myself
and everyone, Pacquiao said.
Rios had prepared for the bout
with the quickest sparring part-
ners his camp could find, but
even that could not prepare him
for the fusillade of Pacquiao
punches from all angles.
What got me was just the
speed and his awkwardness,
Rios said.
He never hurt me at all, and I
never got stunned at all, but the
quickness just caught me off
guard.
Pacquiaos failure to knock out
Rios meant he still has not
stopped an opponent since his
2009 fight against Miguel
Cotto, and while trainer Freddie
Roach was frustrated by that, he
was encouraged by his fighters
performance.
Manny looked great
tonight, Roach said. There
was no signs of him slowing
down whatsoever.
Manny let him off the hook, I
wanted the knockout and it was
there, but I was very happy with
the way he performed.
Promoter Bob Arum of To p
Rank said the tentative date for
Pacquiaos next bout is April 12,
likely in the United States.
A rematch with Ti mot hy
Bradley, who beat Pacquiao in a
contentious points decision
before the Filipino lost to
Marquez, looms as a likely
opponent due to Marquezs high
price on a rematch, and Arum
held out some hope that a fight
against Floyd Mayweather Jr.
could yet happen.
I know its a fight that should
happen and where there is a will
there is a way, Arum said,
expressing his frustration that
the conflicting network affilia-
tions of the two fighters was a
continuing impediment. If all
sides cut out the crap, it can be
done.
Rios, who has lost his past
two bouts after having previous-
ly being undefeated, had come up
two weight classes in three
fights, but said he would now
stay at welterweight and perhaps
even move up to super welter-
weight.
Pacquiao beats Rios in unanimous decision
the attack. Menlo tabbed 16 kills in the second
set, including multiple kills from ve different
players, and ultimately received a tremendous
block from Huber to nish it.
In Game 3, Menlo showcased one of its
youngest stars in Stewart. The sophomore out-
side hitter red six of her match-high 10 kills
in the nal set. Soquel managed to tie it at 14-
14 on a quick dump by sophomore Camryn
Rocha, but Menlo reclaimed the lead on the
following point and would not relinquish it
again. For Menlo head coach Steve Cavella,
the win marks his second CCS championship,
and his rst at Menlo.
Cavella previously coached Crystal Springs
Uplands to a Division V crown in 2010.
Cavella praised Menlo's overall performance
Saturday, with the singular critique that Soquel
did manage an extraordinary number of tips off
the block. Otherwise, Menlo's play was some-
thing of a masterpiece.
"I thought everybody really worked hard,"
Cavella said. "Besides the tips, I thought we were
great. Our blocking was outstanding. Our setters
were good. Our hitters were right on top of it."
Next up for Menlo is the Northern California
tournament which begins Tuesday. Menlo will
host Willows High School at 7 p.m.
"We're really excited," Vandermeer said.
"We're just a determined team. We're willing to
go up against whatever is coming at us."
Vandermeer's condence in her team is justi-
ed. Menlo has dropped just one set through
three postseason matches thus far.
Yes, while not a superhero
insignia, the "M"' on the Menlo
uniforms just may be bulletproof.
Crystal Springs
falls in DV nals
By the time Crystal Springs
Uplands got it going it was too
late, as the No. 4-seed Gryphons
fell to No. 2-seed Woodside Priory
in the CCS Division Vnals 25-
9, 25-23, 25-19.
Priory didn't have any trouble
overcoming the morning chill of
the Independence High School
gym. Panthers senior Marine
Hall Poirier was ring on all
cylinders from the get-go. The
all-WBAL outside hitter tallied a
.470 shooting percentage, total-
ing a match-high 19 kills, 20
digs, and seven aces while going
20 for 26 from the service line.
"Unfortunately, this year
we've been a little notorious for
starting a little slow," Crystal
Springs head coach James Spray
said. "Then once we get going we
do pretty well. Our strengths are
serve and serve receive, and
today [Hall Poirier] was just a tough server.
And we kind of overcompensated. Rather
than just sticking to the basics good tech-
nique and good skill we just kind of got
caught up in it instead of staying within our-
selves but that happens."
Crystal Springs got off to an abysmal
start in Game 1, managing just one service
point throughout. One of the few Gryphons
highlights came late in the set when senior
Caroline Callahan tabbed back-to-back
blocks on consecutive Priory attempts, but
the Panthers still managed to win the point on
a kill by junior Jane Ross.
After falling behind early in Game 2,
Crystal Springs managed to rally back from a
13-8 decit. Gryphons senior Morgan Walker
rattled off ve straight service points to tie it,
before an ace by junior Rose Gold gave them a
15-14 lead. Crystal Springs lengthened its lead
to 18-15, but then Hall Poirier went on a three-
point service run, tying it at 18-18 with an ace.
Priory then reclaimed the lead with a kill by
Ross on the following ball. Nora tabbed a
team-high seven match kills and she showed
up at net in Game 3 to help Crystal Springs
jump out to a 7-0 lead. But the Gryphons
couldn't contain Hall Poirier, as the dynamic
server quickly closed the decit by ring 10
service points and four aces in the set.
For Priory, the CCS title is its second in as
many years, and its sixth in program history.
Panthers head coach Dustin Moore has
tabbed three championships in his three sea-
sons at the helm over two separate stints.
He headed the team for one season in 2000,
then returned last year from a coaching
position at Santa Clara University and has
gone on to win back-to-back titles.

championship game Saturday.
Serra is way too much for Pioneer in 2013 CCS debut
By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
It took about a quarter for the Serra foot-
ball CCS Machine to get warmed up. But
once it did, there was little Pioneer High
School could do to stop it.
The No. 2 Padres opened up Central Coast
Section Open Division action on Saturday
with a decisive 59-7 win over No. 7 Pioneer.
The Mustangs held Serra is check for the
rst quarter before the Padres exerted their
dominance, posting 28 second-quarter
points to lead 35-0 by halftime. From there,
it was cruise control time for the Padres
who, after a loss by No. 1 Terra Nova on
Friday night, are the favorites in the Open
Division. Theyll take on WCAL rival
Bellarmine College Prep next Saturday at
Independence High School in San Jose at 1
p.m.
In a game where the Serra offense racked
up 539 yards of total offense, the rst quar-
ter only represented 101 of that. Pioneer
moved the ball on the Serra defense to start
the game and the Padres went 3-and-out on
their rst drive.
But slowly and surely, Serra warmed up.
On their second series, the Padres used 12
plays to travel 92 yards and go up 7-0 on a
Matt Faaita touchdown run with 3:59 left to
play in the rst quarter.
Again, Pioneer took to moving the ball a
bit on Serra, but after eight plays, they had
to punt the ball away. Pinned inside the 10-
yard line once more, Serra went to work.
Big runs by Faaita and Kava Cassidy high-
lighted a 91-yard drive that culminated with
the running back going 28-yard up the gut
for the 14-0 advantage two minutes into the
second quarter. Thats when Serra really got
rolling defensively, they held Pioneer
without a rst down in the second quarter.
And while that was going on, Faaita found
a bit of a groove. He completed four passes
on Serras next drive this one of 63 yards
that Cassidy cashed in with a 1-yard run.
A little more than a minute later, Serra
scored again. This time, Faaita completed
three passes that covered 61 yards. His rst
TD pass of the day went to Austin Jackson.
Serra all but sealed the deal three minutes
later with another Cassidy touchdown his
third of what was a ve TD performance.
Hed add runs of 8 and 32 yards in the second
half as the Padres pulled further and further
away.
The win for Serra means a rematch with
Bellarmine next Saturday a team theyve
faced four of the last six years in CCS. The
Bells have ended Serras season the last two
years in the playoffs. The Padres beat
Bellarmine earlier this season.
DIVISION IV
NO. 1 SACRED HEART PREP 35,
NO. 8 SEASIDE 12
The No. 1 seeded Gators of SHP used 191
yards by Andrew Segre to win their quarter-
nal game against No. 8 Seaside. SHP will
host No. 5 Monterey in a seminal next
week after Monterey beat No. 4 Menlo
School on Friday night.
Segre scored three touchdowns in the win
and the Gators outgained Seaside by more
than 200 yards on offense, most of which
came on the ground as SHP was without
starting quarterback Randall Mason.

schedule for the bowl game. But, with the
way CSM played on Saturday, it wouldnt
have mattered who was on the other sideline
the Bulldogs came out ready to roll
through anyone.
The closest the margin of the game was
four point, after American River kicked a eld
goal to make it 7-3. From there, the Bulldogs
stepped on the accelerator and went full
throttle on the Beavers.
Raeshawn Lee tied a Bulldog Bowl record
before halftime by catching three touchdown
passes two from bowl Most Valuable
Player Casey Wichman. Lees touchdown
catches were the meat of a TD sandwich that
included scoring runs by Offensive Player of
the Game George Naufahu (11 and 8 yards),
Wichman (49 yards), Dewone Young (33
yards) and a 36-yard interception return by
Jordan Sheppard. Heck, even slot Quincy
Nelson got in on the fun by throwing a 55-
yard touchdown pass to Lee.
By the time halftime rolled around, CSM
was up 48-6.
We were able to do everything, Wichman
said of that rst half. Nothing that we called
didnt work. They never see our offense so
theyre not used to it. And, our coaches were
telling us, if we think we deserve to be in the
NorCal championship game, we have to make
a statement today and thats what we did.
Naufahu, who was chasing down some
career records at CSM prior to the start of the
Bulldog Bowl, kept the points coming to
start the third with an 8-yard touchdown run.
Wichman added another touchdown with 24 sec-
ond left to play in the third quarter. Then Durrell
Crooks found the Promised Land with a 66-yard
TD run three minutes into the fourth quarter.
The cherry (or maybe like the fourth cher-
ry) on top was Robert Johnsons unbeliev-
able 73-yard touchdown dance and run that
put an emphatic stamp on what will go down
as the most dominating Bulldog Bowl per-
formance ever.
Defensively, CSM held American River to
185 yards of total offense most of which
came in garbage time when the Bulldogs were
already rmly ahead.
Really, we just did the same thing we do
every other week, said defensive tackle Rika
Levi. We game planned strong and I dont
know, it turned out really, really good this
week. I think the sophomores brought a lot
of intensity to the game. We felt like we did-
nt get what we deserved. Our story didnt
go unrecognized.

Trevor Kelly, was the games Defensive
Player of the Game.
CSM
periods), Kreutzkamp said. When [Menlo]
got a little tired, thats when he took over the game.
SHP extended its lead to 8-6 less than a
minute into the fourth period on a Harrison
Enright goal, which proved to be pivotal.
His initial shot came just as shot clock
expired, but he got the rebound and put it
away. The referees huddled to discuss
whether he got the first shot off before the
shot-clock buzzer sounded. They decided he
did and the Gators had a two-goal lead.
Menlo cut it back to a one-goal decit 13
seconds later on Andreas Katsis second
goal of the game, but SHP countered with
four unanswered goals to win going away.
We can put our foot on the gas and beat
almost anybody (in the fourth period),
Kreutzkamp said.
Despite coming up short, Menlo coach
Jack Bowen could not have been happier
with his teams performance.
We achieved our goal, even though we
lost the game, Bowen said. It was about
showing up [Saturday] and playing the best
team in Northern California.
Our goal wasnt to beat Prep. It was to
play our best. We absolutely did.
Menlo employed the same patient,
methodical offense it used in its seminal
win over St. Ignatius. That plan led to a 3-1
lead after one period of play.
Making the accomplishment even better
was the fact Bisconti had to sit out most of
the period with two exclusions.
To not have [Bisconti] play for most of
the rst period and to have a 3-1 lead was
phenomenal, Bowen said. Its hard to
dwell on a single player (on my team).
Sacred Heart Prep rallied to tie the score at
3 with 1:46 left in the rst half, but Nikhil
Bhatias score with 1:28 left gave Menlo a
4-3 lead at halftime.
The third quarter turned into a video game
as the teams combined for six goals. Will
Conner, who finished with four goals,
scored back-to-back tallies to turn a SHP 4-
3 decit into a 5-4 lead, but Menlo respond-
ed with a Tegan Nibbi shot from the perime-
ter to tie the match at 5.
Nibbi nished with three goals for the
Knights.
Menlo then took its nal lead of the
match on Katsis rst goal of the game, but
goals from the Enright brothers with
Harrison striking rst to tie the match at 6
gave the Gators the lead going into the
fourth quarter.
Weve played an unbelievably difcult
schedule (this season) and weve been in 15
games like this, Kreutzkamp said. We
knew we could wear them down. Our goal all
year has been to hang around for three quar-
ters and then win it in the fourth.
Menlo-Atherton comes up short
When Menlo-Athertons Evan
McClelland found the back of the net less
than 30 second into the fourth period, the
Bears were down only 7-5 against top-seed-
ed Bellarmine in the CCS Division I nals
Saturday.
Unfortunately for M-A, the Bells respond-
ed with four unanswered goals to extend its
lead to 11-5 on their way to a 12-6 victory
for their 25th section title.
The Bears had no answer for Bellarmines
power play, as the Bells scored six times on
the man advantage. M-A, on the other hand,
could only convert once on five power
plays.
Menlo-Atherton, the No. 3 seed, found
itself trailing 2-0 early in the second peri-
od, but got goals from John Knox and
Dimitri Herr to tie the match at 2.
Bellarmine answered with three straight
goals to take a 5-2 lead at halftime.
Each team scored twice in the third period
with the Bells taking a 7-4 lead into the
nal seven minutes.
Knox paced the Bears offense with three
goals. Herr added two and McClelland had
one.
BOYS
impressive than Johnston's fourth goal of
the match.
SHP came up with a steal in its defensive
end and as Johnston took off for the other
end of the pool, a long pass was looped over
her head.
Johnston and the Castilleja goalie were
in a race for the loose ball and both arrived
at the same time. Johnston managed to
nudge it past the goaltender, but still had
some work to do. She swam by the goalie
before punching the ball into the net for an
8-2 SHP lead.
"The last couple of games we've really
stressed to come out strong and come out
focused," Burke said. "Put the game away
in the first half. That's what you want to
do."
McCracken and Caitlin Stuewe rounded
out the second-period scoring for SHP.
The third period was all about just finish-
ing the game. Burke would put in some of
his starters for a while, including
Johnston, but as soon as they scored, in
came the substitutes.
McCracken and Stuewe added their sec-
ond goals of the match in the third and
fourth periods, respectively.
Like many truly elite teams, Burke said
the ultimate goal isn't necessarily to win
championships, but to have his team play
its best every time out. Do that and the
titles come with it for SHP.
"The moment you stop stressing that,
you lose the team's focus," Burke said.
"I think we were playing our best polo in
November, which doesn't always happen.
From the very start (of the season) our goal
was to play (in the CCS title game). We just
stayed focused on getting into the champi-
onship game."
And the rest took care of itself.

Patient Testimonials
During the 1 1/2 years of having
constant daily lower back pain and
spasms, I took anti-infammatory
and pain medication, but nothing
helped lessen the pain. When an MRI
showed that I had two degenerative
discs, I went through a series of
lumbar epidural injections without
success. The only thing that made
the pain and spasms go away was
Spinal Decompression treatments at
Crossroads Health Center. Four years
later and I am still pain-free!
Lisa K. San Jose, 2013
I came in to Dr. Ferrigno for
lower back pain. Its a problem
that I have had for about 10 to
15 years. I tried everything from
physiatrists, medical doctors,
doctor of osteopathy, chiropractic,
acupuncture, pain medications,
epidural injections and everything
was a temporary fx. I decided to try
the DRX therapy and Ive gone from
an average pain level between 5/7
out of 10 all the way down to a pain
level of 1 to 2 pretty consistently.
The DRX was defnitely the only
thing that has made me feel better.

e thankful. Amost appropriate tip this
week. For people who are alone, the
holidays can be even lonelier, so be
thankful if you have a pet who makes your life
and your familys life more complete, fun,
rewarding or interesting. Can you take your
pet to work? Thats something to be thankful
about I sure am! Maybe you have a special
person in your life who really wasnt sold on
the idea of a pet, but went along since it was
important to you. Be thankful for that (hope-
fully, your pet has won their heart!). This could
even be a housemate who tolerates your pets
quirks and less-than-perfect behaviors. Do you
have that special person who is always willing
to pet sit at a moments notice? I have my
mom and am denitely thankful. Did an adop-
tion counselor help you nd the perfect pet
sometime this past year hopefully some of
my readers had this experience at PHS/SPCA. I
bet some of you had some scary health-related
issues with your pets that your wonderful vet
helped you through. Did your pet turn the cor-
ner recently due to all the hard work youve
been putting into training or socializing him
or her? Im thankful that we live in an area
where people provide a great quality of life for
their pets and, if they see that someone else is
not, they take notice and try to make the situa-
tion better. And, in those cases where our orga-
nizations humane investigators encounter
someone whos been abusive to their pet, we
are thankful that our District Attorneys Ofce
truly cares about and prosecutes these cases.
Ill end with a shameless plug: be thankful that
you have a well-supported humane society
with employees who love what they do (and
are good at it!), many volunteers who help
those employees and a state-of-the art adop-
tion center which is a real treat to visit.

NEWYORK Moviegoers satiated their
appetite for the Hunger Games franchise
by making the sequel Catching Fire one
of the years biggest hits.
The Hunger Games: Catching Fire
opened with $161.1 million at the domestic
weekend box ofce, according to studio
estimates Sunday.
It became the biggest November debut
ever, as well as Lionsgates most lucrative
opening.
The result fell short of some expectations
and failed to dethrone the years biggest
box-ofce opening, Iron Man 3 with
$174 million. But the lm opened massive-
ly worldwide, taking in a total of $307.7
million.
The marketplace largely ceded the week-
end to Catching Fire. The only other new
wide release was Disneys Vince Vaughn
comedy Delivery Man, which sputtered to
an $8.2 million opening.
The box-ofce performance for Catching
Fire establishes Hunger Games, starring
Jennifer Lawrence as the archer heroine of
Suzanne Collins young adult series, as
among the elite franchises in movies. The
budget nearly doubled from the original and
Francis Lawrence took over directing duties
from Gary Ross. Catching Fire received
better reviews and drew a broader audience.
When the rst lm was released, there
was this idea that it was going to appeal
largely to young girls, said Paul
Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for
box-ofce tracker Rentrak. But over time,
its skewing back toward male audiences.
Theres actually a lot of action, theres vio-
lence in the movie. Its crossing over to a
much broader base.
The domestic opening for Catching
Fire is the fourth best ever, following The
Avengers ($207 million), Iron Man 3 and
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part
II ($169 million).
Record keeping, though, has become
more complicated in recent years at the box
ofce. Higher-priced 3-D or IMAX screen-
ings can boost revenue, as can early screen-
ings. Catching Fire, which earned 8 per-
cent of its gross from IMAX showings,
counted $25 million from Thursday night
screenings among its weekend total.
The original Hunger Games earned
$152.5 million in its opening weekend in
March 2012, but didnt debut until midnight
screenings Thursday.
Its really become a phenomenon, said
David Spitz, head of distribution for
Lionsgate. Weve established now a better
opening than the rst, and now were enter-
ing into the Thanksgiving and Christmas
period, which is very, very lucrative.
After two weeks atop the box ofce,
Thor: The Dark World, released by
Disney, slid to second with $14.1 million.
After an impressive opening, the romantic
comedy The Best Man Holiday added
$12.5 million for a two-week total of $50.4
million.
Overseas, the critical and box-ofce hit
Gravity from Warner Bros. opened big in
China. The Sandra Bullock space adventure
added $46.6 million to its international
total in its eighth week of release. Its cumu-
lative haul is up to $577 million.
Estimated ticket sales for Friday through
Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters,
according to Rentrak. Where available, lat-
est international numbers for Friday
through Sunday are also included. Final
domestic gures will be released Monday.
1. The Hunger Games: Catching Fire,
$161.1 million ($146.6 million interna-
tional).
2. Thor: The Dark World, $14.1 million
($24.8 million international).
3. The Best Man Holiday, $12.5 mil-
lion.
4. Delivery Man, $8.2 million ($1.2

5. Free Birds, $5.3 million ($575,000

6. Last Vegas, $4.4 million ($2.4 mil-

7. Bad Grandpa, $3.5 million ($2.4

8. Gravity, $3.3 million ($46.6 mil-
lion international).
9. 12 Years a Slave, $2.8 million.
10. Dallas Buyers Club, $2.8 million.
Estimated weekend ticket sales Friday

seek another two-year stretch with rent
slightly increasing over its span.
If approved, the school will pay the city
$93,456 annually, or $7,788 monthly, the
rst year followed by $95,328 per year or
$7,944 per month the second. The school
also covers utility fees and taxes. The
money goes into the citys general fund to
cover the cost of ongoing services.
The school serves children with learning
challenges and currently has 45 students in
kindergarten through eighth grade and 20
students in after-school programs. The direc-
tor said the Kiwanis Building is an advanta-
geous site because of its central location,
some of the students taking classes at
Central Middle School, eld trips to the
nearby library and downtown and the fact
that many of the parents stay and shop
locally in San Carlos while their children are
in school.
If the city instead opts not to extend the
lease, the Kiwanis Building will revert back
to city use for more Parks and Recreation
Department classes and programs. However,
that use generates less revenue for the gener-
al fund.
Raising more money for the fund is what
sparked the shift of the building from city to
private use. In June 2008, the closure of the
building was among more than $1 million
worth of 30 cuts and reductions made by the
City Council to balance the general fund. At
the time, the city was looking at a $3 mil-
lion budget decit.
Two weeks later, the Arbor Bay School
became the new tenant.
The Kiwanis Building, originally built in
1953, is a 7,300-square-foot facility that
includes two small multi-purpose rooms and
a kitchen with limited counter space, accord-
ing to the citys facility usage plan which
earlier this year evaluated several city facili-
ties for possible renovation and uses.
City staff is recommending the City
Council authorize City Manager Jeff Maltbie
to execute the deal with Arbor Bay. If so, the
next consideration of a lease extension or
termination must be done by June 2015 to
give the school time to nd a new location
and the city to repurpose the building as nec-
essary.
The San Carlos City Council meets 7 p.m.
Monday, Nov. 25 at City Hall, 600 Elm St.,

Portola to settle missions to the north.
Father Serra, nearing 60 years of age now,
continued practicing the rule of not riding a
horse although he suffered great pain and
could hardly walk. Portola pleaded with him
to ride a mule, but Serra refused. Eventually,
Portola persuaded him to ride on a stretcher
which the soldiers carried. To develop the
mission at San Diego, the Spanish sent
three ships to supply the expedition. Two of
the ships arrived at the designated site but
the third one was never seen again. When
the ships arrived, the crews were in terrible
shape. Most of the crews had acquired
scurvy and, out of the 90 men sent in the
ships, only eight soldiers and eight sailors
were able to work. Serra and Portola took
three months to trek the lower Baha to San
Diego and when they arrived they found an
almost everyone living in a makeshift hos-
pital. Due to the lack of men, Portola took
only half of the men he needed to reach
Monterey and he left Father Serra at San
Diego to found the rst mission there
San Diego de Alcala. The San Diego mission
set the prototype for the establishing all of
the missions. A large wooden cross was
erected, mass was said and the local Indians
were called with the ringing of a bell and
gifts of beads, etc. were given to them.
Trouble followed this ritual at San Diego.
The Indians resented the mission being
erected on their property and it was attacked
within a month. After a year of residence by
the Spanish, not one Indian had been bap-
tized.
Portola left on his expedition up the
coast of California and, by November
1769, his group rested in San Pedro
Valley (Pacifica). They had not recog-
nized the Monterey Bay and returned back
to San Diego somewhat embarrassed. In
1770, Portola returned to the site the
explorer Vizcaino had in the early 1600s
designated as Monterey and, when Father
Serra arrived, the site became the home of
another mission Mission San Carlos
Borromeo de Carmelo. This was designat-
ed to become the northern most mission
that would allow Spain to own and have
control of California rather than allow-
ing the Russians to claim it.
It was to become the seat of govern-
ment for Spain and the father-presidents
residence until it was changed to Santa
Barbara in 1803. The soldiers, however,
were more of a problem than Father Serra
imagined and, within a year, the mission
was rebuilt a few miles away in Carmel. It
was completed in 1797. It has gone
through eight transformations. In 1931,
an extensive renovation of the church
was done and, in 1933, the church was
elevated to the status of a parish church.
Once Father Serra got settled in Carmel,
many more missions were started.
Originally, they were to be settled where
a priest could walk to each one in a days
journey, hence the third mission was San
Antonio de Padua (near Jolon). The third
mission was settled in a spot where three
roads met at San Gabriel Arcangel.
Many more followed when funds and
Indian settlements were sufficient for a
mi ssi on.
Father Serra faced many difficulties in
his duties as Father Presidente due to
the friction that arose between the mili-
tary leaders and the church. Serras stated
policies were that spiritual fathers
should punish their sons, the Indians,
with blows as old as the conquest of the
Americas. Their wards should be treated
like children, including the use of corpo-
ral punishment. The women were placed
in locked barracks at night and separated
from the men. This didnt bode well with
the males. Once the Indians entered the
mission, they could not leave and they
had to follow the rules of the priests with-
out question. The soldiers brought dis-
eases with them to the New World and
they spread unabated. Serras policy with
the soldiers was stay away from the
Indians although the policy was difficult
to enforce.
He had very little control over appoint-
ments of Mission administrators and he
had to go to Mexico City to state his
cases for changes. Remember that travel
was slow after the Yuma Indians cut off
the quickest land route to Mexico City,
and administrators there lived on a differ-
ent timeframe. The missions were not
their main concern and funding dried up
all too often and the priests worked on
meager funds.
The aim of the Spanish to civilize the
Indians did not succeed.
Father Serra died Aug. 28, 1784 at the
age of 70 and is buried at Mission San
Carlos Borromeio. He was beatified by
Pope John II on Sept. 25, 1988.

design expertise, it took the reins in
preparing the project approval and
environmental documents, according
to the report. Caltrans has been evalu-
ating the potential scal, environmen-
tal and trafc disruption impacts from
the proposed construction.
When modifying an active inter-
change under traffic, theres always
going to be some disruption that
occurs, but its a matter of trying to
minimize that, Patterson said.
Another challenge will be control-
ling costs to allow for further improve-
ments along the El Camino Real corri-
dor, Navarro said. Thus far, the initial
studies for the design and environmen-
tal review phase were budgeted at $1.3
million for Caltrans and $85,000 for
the city, according to the report.
However, the project in its entirety is
estimated to cost between $16 million
and $17 million, Navarro said.
Funding for the project is derived
from federal, state and local sources.
Money from the San Mateo County
Transportation Authoritys Measure A
half-cent sales tax funds, the Federal
Highway High Priority Discretionary
funds and the State Transportation
Improvement Programs funds will con-
tribute to the project.
The City Council was presented with
a status update on the project at a spe-
cial study session Monday. Although
the intersections are on state right-of-
ways and Caltrans is taking the lead,
the city has an active role in approving
any proposals, Patterson said.
The environmental and project report
is still under Caltrans internal review.
Once it is signed off, a 30-day public
review period will begin early next
year, Navarro said.

construction and was slated to open for
the 2014-15 school year, but MacIsaac
said the schools opening will be
delayed. She said the ruling is very dis-
appointing.
This is going to affect us signi-
cantly, she said. Its going to take
additional time and money that the
school district doesnt have and lead to
overcrowding. There is no evidence of
trafc congestion. We tried to directly
negotiate with these people.
Unfortunately, the losers are going to
be the children in our school district.
Growing enrollment in the
Burlingame Elementary School
District resulted in the purchase of the
previously-closed Hoover on Summit
Drive near Hillsborough in 2010.
Since then, the district has been work-
ing on plans to renovate the building
to meet current standards.
The ruling further states an EIR is
required under the California
Environmental Quality Act for at least
trafc and parking impacts on this
proposed project.
The court concludes that there is
substantial evidence in the administra-
tive record for a fair argument that the
Hoover Elementary School Project,
under the initial study and mitigated
negative declaration that were adopted
by respondent, might have a signi-
cant environmental impact, the rul-
ing stated.
Christine Fitzgerald, one of the peti-
tioners in the case and member of the
alliance, said the take-away from the
lawsuit is the district knew that many
people objected to the trafc project,
but continued with the project anyway.
We had exhausted our administra-
tive remedies and were left with no
choice but to le a lawsuit, she said.
It (the trafc plan) was a bad plan and
needed to be better. There seems to be a
movement villainizing the
Hillsborough residents. The judge
absolutely agreed with our side of the
case.
Opening arguments in San Mateo
County Superior Court against the dis-
trict over trafc and parking concerns
surrounding the reopening of Hoover
Elementary School were heard July 29.
At the July hearing, the alliances
attorney Kevin Haroff said the district
failed to address trafc impacts in its
December 2012 mitigated negative
declaration study and review. He also
said the district committed a CEQA
violation by dismissing community
concerns about trafc. Haroff cited an
October 2012 letter from the town of
Hillsborough stating their concerns
about the rebuilding being ignored.
The current plan calls for two 8-foot-
wide curbside bays to be created for
pickup and dropoff along the west side
of Summit Drive adjacent to the school
providing enough curb space for 15
cars. In addition, the existing school
site curb would be shifted west to pro-
vide for the bays and two 10-foot-wide
vehicle travel lanes, which will
increase the width of Summit Drive to
17 feet in some areas.
Some residents who live near the
school felt the plan should be post-
poned to allow for more discussion and
possible changes to the trafc plan,
which led to the lawsuit filed in
January.
Hoover was founded in 1931, closed
in 1979 and repurchased by the district
for $4.8 million in 2010. MacIsaac
estimated the costs for renovations
and new equipment will be about $13
million. Measure D, a $56 million
bond measure passed by voters in
November 2012 will cover most of the
costs.

and others.
I really wanted to expose the students
to real people in tech, said Christina
Wade, the schools computer science
teacher, in an email. Computer science
is used in so many careers; not just pure
programming. I wanted them so see
that.
Following a lunch break, students will
break into groups of seven to 10 to
begin the hackathon. Each group will
have one mentor. Participants will be
asked to think up a problem in society
and how they can most effectively solve
it using technology. Students sketch up
a design and its functionality and then
present their ideas to the group. They
will have until 3 p.m. to complete the
task. Prizes and goodies will be given to
students for their creative ideas.
Students have also been exposed to
the technology sector in the APcomput-
er science class, which was rst intro-
duced this year. There was a trip to
Mountain Views Computer History
Museum in September for a hackathon,
in which students determined a problem
in society, came up with a business name
and developed ideas. Pascal and Wade
acted as venture capitalists and chose
winners.
In terms of the hackathons, Wade, who
is a big planner in the events, wanted the
students to feel the energy of the creative
design process of a hackathon without
the burden of coding, which they are still
getting a handle on now.
I wanted them to have the opportuni-
ty to work with industry professionals
to mentor them in that process and be
creative, she said in the email. An
understanding of logic and basic com-
puter science principles is a basic skill
for this generation, so I wanted them to
experience that.
The school plans another trip to
Computer History Museum in March for
students to meet more tech companies.
Todays event takes place in the
schools alumni room. Aragon High
School math teacher Lisa Kossiver also
helped put the event together.

By Ramit Plushnick-Masti
A large storm already blamed
for at least eight deaths in the
West slogged through Oklahoma,
Texas, New Mexico and other
parts of the Southwest on Sunday,
leading to hundreds of flight can-
cellations as it slowly churned
east ahead of Thanksgiving.
After the storm plows through
the Southwest, meteorologists
expect the Arctic mass to head
south and east, threatening plans
for Tuesday and Wednesday as
people hit the roads and airports
for some of the busiest travel
days of the year.
More than 300 flights were
cancelled at Dallas-Fort Worth
International Airport, represent-
ing about one-third of the sched-
uled departures, and a spokes-
woman said deicing equipment
had been prepared as officials
planned for the worst in a flurry
of conference calls and meetings.
Its certainly going to be a
travel impact as we see the first
few people making their way for
Thanksgiving, National
Weather Service meteorologist
Tom Bradshaw said.
The National Weather Service
has issued a winter storm warning
for chunks of North Texas from
noon Sunday until midday
Monday. Parts of Oklahoma are
also under a winter storm warn-
ing, while an advisory has been
issued for other parts of the state.
A mix of rain and sleet began
falling north of Dallas on
Interstate 35 by midday Sunday,
and areas of southwestern
Oklahoma woke up to several
inches of snow.
Some elevated overpasses had
icy surfaces, but Bradshaw said
the worst weather could be
expected between 3 a.m. and 9
a.m., possibly snarling morning
rush hour.
Several inches of snow fell
overnight in Altus in far south-
western Oklahoma, said Damaris
Machabo, a receptionist at a
Holiday Inn motel.
It looks great. I love the
snow, Machabo said. The snow
and freezing temperatures made
driving in the area treacherous,
but Machabo said she had no
problems getting to work early
Sunday. Forecasts
called for more snow
in the area later in the
day.
Portions of New
Mexico especially
in some of the higher
elevations also had
several inches of
snow, and near white
out conditions were
reported along
stretches of Interstate
40 west of
Albuquerque.
Then along the New
Mexico-Texas border,
into the El Paso area,
a mix of snow, sleet
and ice forced some
road closures and cre-
ated messy driving
conditions.
Flagstaff in Arizona
had 11 inches of snow
by early Sunday, and
was expected to get
another inch by the end of the day
before the storm petered out.
Metro Phoenix and other parts of
central Arizona received between
1 1/2 to 2 1/2 inches of rain over
the course of the storm. The
storms caused cancellations of
sporting events and parades and
damaged the roofs of homes
across Arizona.
In Tucson, firefighters on
Friday recovered the body of a
man who was swept away by high
water in the Santa Cruz River.
Tucson police said Sunday an
autopsy revealed signs of trauma,
and they were investigating the
death as a homicide. They did not
say whether they had ruled out the
storm as a cause of his death.
By early Sunday, the weather
was blamed for at least eight
deaths in several fatal traffic acci-
dents. The storm also caused hun-
dreds of rollover accidents,
including one that injured three
members of singer Wi l l i e
Nelsons band when their bus hit
a pillar on Interstate 30 near
Sulphur Springs, about 75 miles
northeast of Dallas.
Dallas prepared for the storm
by declaring Ice Force Level 1,
code for sending 30 sanding
trucks to trouble shoot hazardous
road conditions.
At Dallas-Fort Wort h
International Airport, spokes-
woman Cynthia Vega said most of
the cancelled flights were in the
afternoon and evening hours and
were with American Airlines and
American Eagle. The possibility
of ice on the runways led to a
series of conference calls and
meetings early Sunday, she added,
noting the airport had liquid and
solid deicers ready for use.
The storm system, though, was
particularly hard to predict
because a couple of degrees here
or there with the temperature will
determine whether regions see
rain, sleet or snow, Bradshaw
said.

Wintry storm threatens Thanksgiving travels
Shots red at children,
mother in parked car
Shots were fired at two
children and their mother as
they sat in a parked car in
Menlo Park Sunday after-
noon, according to police.
The car was sitting on the
1300 block of Madera
Avenue just after 2 p.m. when
unknown suspects drove by
and red shots at it, accord-
ing to Sgt. Matthew Ortega.
No one was injured in the
shooting, Ortega said.
The suspect vehicle, which
was driving east on Madera,
