Montessori school seeks home

San Carlos Elementary School District looking at Arundel, Heather and another part of Tierra Linda
By Angela Swartz
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Now that the San Carlos Charter

Learning Center will be placed on
the upper Tierra Linda Middle
School campus, the school board
must decide where to place Edison
Montessori School that currently
occupies that space and if it wants
to keep the Montessori school
with the districts special education

preschool.
Initially, the San Carlos
Elementary School District was
considering moving the Charter
Learning Center to a park parcel at
North Crestview if a land swap with
the city went through, but the City
Council ultimately voted against
the plan.
Presently, Edison and the two
district special education preschool classes and preschool support services are located on seven
portables on the upper campus. The
district hopes to move the Charter
Learning Center to the new location by the 2016-17 school year,
Chief Operating Officer Robert
Porter previously said. The school
board has directed staff to explore
options for Edison Montessori on
the Arundel Elementary campus,

the Heather Elementary School
campus or a different part of the
Tierra Linda campus than where it is
currently located.
Although the district is not
required to relocate the Montessori
since its a private school, the district would like to help the school
find a new location, said Trustee
Nicole Bergeron.
Its been on our campuses for so

long, she said. Its just an important asset in the community.
The school itself would prefer
Arundel since it is nearby the current Edison campus, said Edison
Executive Director Ann Delo, who
has been with the Montessori for
19 years.

Plagued by geese,
city asking for aid
Foster City residents sought to help
scare, but not harm, abundant fowl
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Foster City officials are seeking

residents to help resolve its problem with geese that are mucking
up parks and serving as a point of
frustration for city officials, staff
and residents.
The city has long struggled with
the migratory and resident Canada
Geese population that is known
for being somewhat fearless of
humans and defecating where
adults and children play.
After trying various techniques,
the city is now asking residents to
join in brainstorming and implementing passive disruption tech-
niques to modify the behavior of

the geese, said Parks Manager
Manny Hernandez.
Weve tried a number of things
and something that Ive found
really worked was basically active
modification of their habitat.
Making them uncomfortable in
our parks or in the location we
dont want them, Hernandez said.
Im trying to find a way to do that
with residents because theyre
always in our parks and in a not
aggressive way to the geese and in
a non-strenuous manner for the
volunteers.
The city has tried various ideas

Residents of the small city complained the puny pine was ugly when

issues, including prostate and testicular cancer. Unsurprisingly, the idea
came about when they were enjoying
a few beers. After Kurt Jensen, owner
of 8th Street Ale Haus, began talking
to some of his brewing buddies about
doing charity work, the group of
beer-lovers eventually came up with
something similar to a swimsuit calendar. Grant Pauly, founder of 3

will raise awareness and stimulate
conversations about mens health, he
told Sheboygan Press Media. I was
down in Chicago when someone who
saw the group photo on our Facebook
page came up to me and we ended up
having a 20 minute conversation, he
said. The photos were shot in early
October by a professional photographer who doubles as a beer enthusiast. Each month of the calendar
depicts a different step of the brewing
process. Jensen said convincing the
guys to take off their clothes for a
good cause was easier than he expected, and Pauly agreed. Putting the calendar together, that was pretty easy,
said Pauly. We have the most difficult part ahead; getting the word out.
The calendar marks the first fundraising effort of Brewers Against Bad

A symphony even Mahler haters will enjoy

By David Bratman
DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT
Gustav Mahler, whose Ninth Symphony

was played by the Redwood Symphony at
Caada College on Saturday, is a polarizing composer whom listeners either love
or hate.
I hate him.
Mahler said, The symphony should
embrace the world, by which he meant it
should embrace the kitchen sink. I find
his music bloated and self-indulgent, juxtaposing contrasts without a larger unifying logic. Its intense emotions come
from nothing and lead nowhere full of
sound and fury, signifying nothing (to
borrow a phrase). Even Michael Tilson
Thomas award-winning performances
with the San Francisco Symphony often
range, for me, from the tedious to the
exasperating.
Yet theres one ensemble that has conquered Mahler and made me enjoy it: a little community orchestra called the
Redwood Symphony. Six years ago, I
heard Eric Kujawsky conduct it in the
Third Symphony, a scrappy performance
with simple energy and commitment. It
genuinely made this music go somewhere.
I liked it much more than San Franciscos
version.
Saturdays concert tackled an even
tougher nut: the Ninth, the work in which
Mahler expanded the ground plan of
Tchaikovskys Pathtique to twice life
size. I had never heard a performance of
this work that didnt sound like 90 minutes of endless sludge. This was the
Redwoods third date with it, and theyve
also played all Mahlers other symphonies. I knew they could succeed with
COURTESY
Conductor Eric Kujawsky works with the Redwood Symphony, which recently performed
Gustav Mahlers Ninth Symphony at Caada College .
the Third, and the Ninth is often considered Mahlers greatest. I decided to let
them make the case.
The orchestra and its conductor brought
some unusual strengths to this project.
The Redwood Symphonys secret is that
its limited capacity as a volunteer ensemble means that it doesnt attempt to be
too emotive or grandiose. This was a
plain-spoken presentation that didnt
whine or slosh around, common but fatal
behavior with Mahler.
Kujawsky said he considers Mahler a

master of large-scale form and of tight,
organic development. I find these claims
ludicrous. But they are useful fictions for
Kujawsky to believe, for his commitment
and sincerity are expended to make his
beliefs true. They dont succeed. But the
effort helps, a lot.
This performance imbued Mahlers random climaxes with some sincerity, caused
the returns of opening themes to make
actual sense in context, and shaped the
structure to be clear and coherent. The

comic second movement was more a parody of ponderousness than the thing itself.
Kujawskys steady tempos and the orchestras absence of over-emoting were vital.
If 90 minutes of Mahers overbearing personality was still a bit much, this time he
was presented as honest and straightforward, and even capable of telling his
story with some beauty and grace.
The result was not to make Mahler
good, but to expose him clearly. Redwood
revealed that what Mahler, like many
equally garrulous novelists, needed was a
good editor. Every time it seems that he
has said more than enough and ought to be
wrapping things up each movement
has at least one passage halfway through
that would make a good coda he says,
And heres another thing! But its just
more of the same, often louder.
I wouldnt have grasped that without
this sludgeless version. The orchestra
played gallantly. Some wobbliness and
garish blatting vanished about halfway
through the first movement. A continuing
imbalance, with the horns and trumpets
riding over the strings, at least added
spice, especially in the middle movements. The slow finale gave the strings
their chance to shine. The thickly contrapuntal writing was a great challenge for
these players, yet they succeeded, even
conveying for a moment the sweet, calm
sound of Mahlers mentor, Anton
Bruckner.
So I still dont like Mahler. But I like
the Redwood Symphony a whole lot. If
youre dubious about Mahler and even
if you arent you ought to hear these
folks play him.

Evangelicals with gay

kids challenge church
By Rachel Zoll
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Rob and Linda Robertson did what they

believed was expected of them as good
Christians.
When their 12-year-old son Ryan said he
was gay, they told him they loved him, but
he had to change. He entered reparative
therapy, met regularly with his pastor and
immersed himself in Bible study and his
church youth group. After six years, nothing changed. A despondent Ryan cut off
from his parents and his faith, started taking drugs and in 2009, died of an overdose.
Now we realize we were so wrongly
taught, said Rob Robertson, a firefighter
for more than 30 years who lives in
Redmond, Washington. Its a horrible,
horrible mistake the church has made.
The tragedy could have easily driven the
Robertsons from the church. But instead of
breaking with evangelicalism - as many
parents in similar circumstances have done
- the couple is taking a different approach,
and theyre inspiring other Christians with
gay children to do the same. They are staying in the church and, in protesting what
they see as the demonization of their sons
and daughters, presenting a new challenge
to Christian leaders trying to hold off grow-
Burlingame holiday
DUI checkpoint nets two arrests
ing acceptance of same-sex relationships.

Parents dont have anyone on their journey to reconcile their faith and their love
for their child, said Linda Robertson, who
with Rob attends a nondenominational
evangelical church. They either reject
their child and hold onto their faith, or they
reject their faith and hold onto their child.
Rob and I think you can do both: be fully
affirming of your faith and fully hold onto
your child.
Its not clear how much of an impact these
parents can have. Evangelicals tend to dismiss fellow believers who accept same-sex
relationships as no longer Christian. The
parents have only recently started finding
each other online and through faith-oriented organizations for gays and lesbians such
as the Gay Christian Network, The
Reformation Project and The Marin
Foundation.
But Linda Robertson, who blogs about
her son at justbecausehebreathes.com, said
a private Facebook page she started last
year for evangelical mothers of gays has
more than 300 members. And in the last few
years, high-profile cases of prominent
Christian parents embracing their gay children indicate a change is occurring beyond
a few isolated families.
Local briefs
Two people were arrested in Burlingame

for driving under the influence of alcohol or
drugs after police conducted a traffic checkpoint just hours before Thanksgiving.
Buddy Welch, a 45-year-old South San
Francisco resident, and Paolo Maniquis, a
23-year-old San Mateo resident, were arrested on the 400 block of California drive during the checkpoint between 6 p. m.
Wednesday and 2 a.m. Thursday, according
to Burlingame police.
During the checkpoint, a total of 726
vehicles were screened, 26 field sobriety
tests administered and five drivers were cited
for driving without a license or while their
license was suspended, according to police.
Checkpoints provide the most effective
documented results of any DUI enforcement
strategies, while also yielding cost savings
of $6 for every $1 spent, according to the
National
Highway
Traffic
Safety
Administration.
Burlingames checkpoint was funded by a
grant from the California Office of Traffic
Safety, according to police.
Suspect identified in Costco

child annoyance investigation
South San Francisco police said
Wednesday that they have identified a suspect in a child annoyance incident that
occurred at a Costco earlier this month and
have forwarded the information to prosecutors for review.
The incident occurred on Nov. 8 around
2:20 p.m. at the Costco at 1600 El Camino
Real.
Police said an unidentified man
approached a 2-year-old girl in a shopping
aisle, patted her head and said, Come over

here while making a circular motion with
his right hand.
The girls mother was within 15 feet of
the girl when this occurred.
Police said the man immediately walked
away from the girl when he noticed her
mother nearby, and he left the store without
purchasing anything.
After the incident police posted a photo
of the suspect on the departments web page
and sent out requests for help to the community through Twitter.
On Nov. 19, they received an anonymous
tip about the suspects identity and contacted a 44-year-old South San Francisco man.
The man gave police a detailed voluntary
statement about the incident, which has
been forwarded to prosecutors for review.

Lab-coated Muggles use

Harry Potter to study brain
By Lauran Neergaard
WASHINGTON Harry Potter swoops

around on his broom, faces the bully
Malfoy and later runs into a three-headed
dog. For scientists studying brain activity
while reading, its the perfect excerpt from
the young wizards many adventures to give
their subjects.
Reading that section of Harry Potter and
the Sorcerers Stone activates some of the
same regions in the brain that people use to
perceive real peoples actions and intentions. Scientists then map what a healthy
brain does as it reads.
The research reported Wednesday has
implications for studying reading disorders
or recovery from a stroke. The team from
Carnegie Mellon University was pleasantly
surprised that the experiment actually
worked.
Most neuroscientists painstakingly have
tracked how the brain processes a single
word or sentence, looking for clues to language development or dyslexia by focusing
on one aspect of reading at a time. But reading a story requires multiple systems workhad been in the bathtub and at some point
was located by a family member submerged
in the water and unresponsive.
However, an investigation by the San

police has now indicated the girl died of natural causes and not drowning, police said.
Gorilla death prompts

San Francisco Zoo changes
The San Francisco Zoo will retrofit the
doors of its 30-year-old gorilla enclosure
after the death of a baby gorilla, officials
said.
The changes were recommendations by an
expert hired by the zoo to investigate the
death of a 16-month-old gorilla named
Kabibe, The San Francisco Chronicle
reported Thursday.
The animal died Nov. 7 when she unexpectedly darted under the electric door as it
closed.
Dr. Terry Maple, a gorilla expert, recommended the zoo update its doors, require two
keepers to be in the enclosure when the
gorillas are being moved, hire a full-time
gorilla specialist, and install a backup generator in the building.
The recommendations allow the zoo to
move forward and to ensure the future of
this precious gorilla family and their critically endangered species, zoo Executive
Director Tanya Peterson said in a statement.
The doors have a history of mechanical
failures, including jamming and unexpectedly collapsing, according to zoo records.
An adult gorilla had her hand caught under
a door in July 2012, according to the
records cited by The Chronicle.
Last week, five zookeepers came forward
with their concerns, saying the young
gorilla would still be alive if top zoo offi-
ing at once: recognizing how letters form a

word, knowing the definitions and grammar, keeping up with the characters relationships and the plot twists.
Measuring all that activity is remarkable,
said Georgetown University neuroscientist
Guinevere Eden, who helped pioneer brainscanning studies of dyslexia but wasnt
involved in the new work.
It offers a much richer way of thinking
about the reading brain, Eden said, calling
the project very clever and very exciting.
No turning pages inside a brain-scanning
MRI machine; you have to lie still. So at
Carnegie Mellon, eight adult volunteers
watched for nearly 45 minutes as each word
of Chapter 9 of Harry Potter and the
Sorcerers Stone was flashed for half a second onto a screen inside the scanner.
Why that chapter? It has plenty of action
and emotion, but theres not too much
going on for scientists to track, said lead
researcher Leila Wehbe, a Ph.D. student.
The research team analyzed the scans,
second by second, and created a computerized model of brain activity involved with
different reading processes. The research
was published Wednesday by the journal
PLoS One.
cials had responded to their concerns about
the safety of the enclosure.
They said the enclosure had a flawed layout, problems with the doors and was understaffed.
It was a freak accident, said Corey
Hallman, one of the animal keepers told The
Chronicle. But with a workplace that takes
safety and keeper input more seriously, it
could have been prevented.
Zoo officials have said little in the wake
of the gorilla death.
Peterson had previously said in a guest
editorial in The Chronicle that the U.S.
Department of Agriculture routinely
inspects the enclosure, and in January found
no noncompliant issues.
Only about 750 western lowland gorillas
live in captivity and roughly 100,000 live
in the wild in Central Africa.
Burger King
employee finds $100,000
An assistant manager at a San Jose Burger
King found a backpack loaded with about
$100,000 in a booth, but so far no one has
come forward to claim it.
Assistant manager Sahista Bakawla told
KGO he spotted the blue backpack left in
his San Jose eatery early Wednesday.
He said when it was still there by that
afternoon he called the owner who opened
it, hoping to find identification or a phone
number.
Instead, he found a whopping amount of
$100 bills.
Officers came to the restaurant and opened
the bag, which also contained some candy,
a small amount of marijuana and a bank
deposit slip.
Police are now working with the bank to

PROTESTS NEAR PARADE
About six protesters chanting
Justice for Mike Brown! were
handcuffed Thursday after they tried
to march toward the parade route,
the New York Post reported. The
New York Police Department told
The Associated Press there were
some arrests near the parade but did-
nt immediately provide details.

We will not tolerate, under any
circumstances, any effort to disrupt
this
parade,
police
Commissioner William Bratton
said earlier Thursday. This is a
national event, a historic event.
Anybody who would seek to interrupt it would be callous, indeed, on
this very special day.
Protests in New York have
remained peaceful since a grand
jurys decision not to indict the
police officer who killed the
unarmed Brown in Ferguson,
Missouri.
The honor of leading the parade

went to the Pride of the Mountains
Marching Band from Western
Carolina University. Asked where
thats located, drummer Will
Walker said with a chuckle: Its a
dot on the map you will never hear
from the rest of your life.
The musicians from Cullowhee,
North Carolina, hoped to set two
records Thursday: one for most
cymbal players (55) and one for
largest band (505 members).
It still hasnt hit me that Im in

Obamas action fuels worry about immigration scams

By Elliot Spagat
SAN DIEGO Advocacy groups

barely waited for President Barack
Obama to finish speaking about
sweeping changes to the U. S.
immigration system to start warning about scams.
We hear horror stories about

watched the presidents speech at
Alliance San Diego offices.
California Attorney General
Kamala Harris and Mexican consulates sounded similar alarms

after Obama promised executive
action that is expected to shield
about 5 million people from
deportation. For decades, immigrants have fallen victim to attorneys and consultants who disappear with their money or give bad
advice that may land them in
deportation proceedings.
Anything related to immigration tends to have this activity

SEVERN, Md. Alyssa Riggan

hasnt dwelled on being the first
person in the U.S. to successfully
receive part of a liver from a living
donor 25 years ago, a medical procedure that paved the way for routine live-donor transplants.
The anniversary falls on
Thanksgiving this year. Riggan
was 21 months old when her mother, Teri Smith, donated more than a
third of her liver to save her daughter from a disorder called biliary
atresia. Its success has enabled her
to live a normal life, almost completely untouched by what was an
often-fatal disorder.
Most of the time, I didnt think
about it, Riggan, 26, said in an
interview this week at her home in
Severn, Maryland, noting her
good health has enabled her to
enjoy ballet and tap dancing since
age 5. All of my anniversaries are
really big, so thats when you really think about it the most.
The procedure expanded the
options for children with liver disorders, many of whom died while
waiting for a liver from a deceased
donor. It was first used only in
small children. Its now used for
older children, and at some transplant centers, for adults.
Biliary atresia is a disease that
blocks liver bile ducts, backing up
bile in the bloodstream and the
liver. Before Riggans operation,
liver transplants from living
donors had been performed only
four times in Brazil, Australia
and Japan. Those surgeries

involved desperately ill children.
Riggans transplant was the first
on a child with time to wait.
An adult liver grows back to normal after the operation. The segment transplanted grows within
the recipient.
The University of Chicago team
that performed the surgery on
Riggan was led by Dr. Christoph
Broelsch. The youngest member was
Dr. Dick Thistlethwaite, then 41.
I can tell you we were all
extremely concerned about the safety of the mother, Teri, who was just
a
trouper
throughout,
Thistlethwaite said. We were really
thankful she got through the operation safely. The feeling when
Alyssas operation was finished
was one of elation that it appeared
to be a success. ... It was a feeling
we had really done something
worthwhile that would help, not
just this patient, but others as
well.
Using parents as living donors
posed complex ethical questions.
With a parent willing to risk anything to help her child, how could
the doctors be sure they were
upholding the ethical standard of
informed consent?
Before the first surgery, the
University of Chicago team published a paper in the prestigious
New England Journal of Medicine
on how they intended to answer
ethical questions as they selected
patients and donors. They wouldnt use the living donor procedures
in emergencies to reduce the time
pressure on a donors decision.

Cost of move, further study

The move should cost anywhere from $1
million to $1.4 million depending on district site location. This includes cost of
classrooms, along with site development for
utilities, a play yard, parking and grading.
The district received $80,000 in lease
income from Edison in 2013-14. As the district reviews its lease arrangements with outside partners, this arrangement would also be
examined and an increase would likely be
renegotiated, according to a staff report.
Established in 1982, the school hosts students age 2-6. Classes include toddler, preschool, kindergarten and after-school programs.
Any cost associated with moving Edison
Montessori, currently located at 750
Dartmouth Ave. in San Carlos, would be the
responsibility of Edison. The school requires
about four classroom-size portables and a
play space for the children, totaling approximately 11,500 square feet of land, according
to a staff report.
The cost to move is expensive, but not
insurmountable for the Montessori, Delo
said.
Its gonna be tough, but we always make
it, she said.
One thing the district may take into consideration is keeping the Montessori school and
special education program on the same campus, as a number of parents have explained
that there is a mutual benefit to children at the
two schools, Bergeron said. She will be touring the school to learn about the interrelationship between the two programs.
Trying to co-locate two schools at a new
site is harder, she said. The concerns (for
the Montessoris relocation) are cost, impact
on the receiving site, whether we can try to
keep them together and fairly complicated
timing issues. When do they need to be off of
where they currently are and when can the
new site could absorb them?
Mainstreaming, which is bringing the special education students into the Montessori
program, is a huge benefit of co-location of
the Montessori and special education programs, Delo said. Montessori students are
even sent over as role models for the special
education students, she added.
At this point, board Vice President Carol

Elliott doesnt have preference for where to
place the school, she said.
In my opinion, it was clear to the board
that it is in the best educational interest of
children (many of whom feed directly into the
SCSD) for the district to work creatively to
find a new location for Edison, if at all feasible from a cost and space standpoint, Elliott
wrote in an email. In addition to Edison
being a unique and valued preschool program
in our community, their close partnership
with our special day preschool allows opportunities for full inclusion of some of our students in their program, which is a tremendous
benefit to both our students and the district.
At this point, there are still too many undefined variables site configurations, cost,
timing and other factors with each of the
sites, Elliott said. She wants to wait and see
what staff comes back and the school board
will weigh its options at that point, she said.
Trustee Seth Rosenblatt also hasnt formulated an opinion on where to place the
Montessori.
I dont have a strong preference, he said.
We need a little more work done and get the
details and the costs. Both (Arundel and
Heather) could be pretty interesting and work
out well.
Land swap proposal

The land swap plan that could have placed
the Charter Learning Center on new land was
voted down by a City Council majority which
believed it would increase traffic, eliminate
precious open space and tax the citys coffers
building fields and fighting expected litigation by neighbors. The tentative deal called
for the building of a new Charter Learning
Center on the land. The district would have
given the city approximately 4 acres on the
backside of Tierra Linda, a 2.9-acre open
space piece adjacent to Heather currently used
as a dog park and $1.5 million to invest in a
city-owned athletic field at Tierra Linda. If
any of the three parcels were ever used or sold
for development, the city and school would
have split the profits.
Further, in August, the district voted to shut
down the possibility of moving the school
to Heather Elementary School.
Staff should be bringing back options,
costs and a timeline for Edison to the board
either at the Dec. 11 or Dec. 18 meeting for a
final decision, Elliott said.

Taliban attack rocks GEESE

Witnesses described multiple

of some senior Afghan government officials.
The attack came hours after a suicide car-bomber struck a British

three explosions followed by
extended gunfire. A Taliban
spokesman said the intended target
was a guesthouse in the district

The attack took place near the
compound of the development

of security, Tony Haslem, told The
Associated Press the attack lasted
about 45 minutes and he heard
rocket propelled grenades and
automatic weapons being fired.
Deputy
Interior
Minister
Mohammad Ayoub Salangi confirmed that the target of the attack
was a guesthouse in the diplomatic
area. He said no foreigners had

been killed.
One Nepalese guard was wounded, but all the foreigners are fine,
Salangi said. Three attackers had
been killed, two by Nepalese
guards at the guesthouse, he said.
One of the attackers blew himself up, he added.
Kabul has come under regular
attack in recent weeks. Earlier
Thursday, a suicide bomber targeted a British embassy vehicle,
killing at least five people,
including a British security guard,
officials said.

said.

the only way to truly alleviate
the problem is to kill the geese.

You dont have to eat turkey for

able to test them out. Hernandez

raising objects above ones head

often not afraid of people.
Councilman Herb Perez said
part of maintaining open space
an d p ark s is accepting that
wildlife lives there. The geese
can be a nuisance and Perez said
one of the best things the city
can do is increase sanitatio n
efforts.
Stewart said th e g eese are
destroying the value of the park
and the city should investigate
getting a depredation permit to
remove them.
Councilman Steve Okamoto
said ridding the city of geese is
difficult and if anything they
would just relocate to another
city.
Its a distinct problem that
weve been trying to address for
the last 10 years. But weve had
certain federal o b stacles so
were working within those
guidelines the best we can,
Okamoto said. The bottom line
is it has to be a coordinated

OPEC keeps oil output on hold despite low prices

By George Jahn
VIENNA Reflecting its lessening oil clout, OPEC decided

Thursday to keep its output target
on hold and sit out falling crude
prices that will likely spiral even
lower as a result.
Oil prices fell sharply on the
news. Even though the decision
was largely expected, it showed
the once-powerful cartel is losing
the power to push up markets to
its own advantage.
OPEC has traditionally relied on
output cuts to regulate supply and
prices. But it appeared to realize
Thursday that with cheap crude in
oversupply, a reduction would
only cut into OPECs share of the
market without a lasting boost in
prices and with others outside the
cartel making up the difference.
Instead, the move to maintain a
production target of 30 million
barrels a day appeared to reflect
acceptance of the Saudi view within OPEC that short-term pain had
to be accepted for later gain.
The Saudis and their Gulf allies
hope to put economic pressure on
rival producers in the U.S., which
need higher prices to break even.

OPEC Secretary General Abdullah Al-Badri addresses a news conference

after a meeting of OPEC oil ministers at OPECs headquarters in Vienna.
In the long term, that could help
reaffirm OPECs dominance of the
oil market.
It would also be good news for
consumers and oil-importing
nations.
The global price plunged $5 to a
four-year low of $72.76 a barrel.
As recently as June it was around
$115.

Thursdays meeting facing two

unpalatable choices: Cut their
production from 30 million barrels a day in an effort to boost
prices and see OPECs market
share fall, or do nothing in hopes
of riding out the crisis.
Paring output may not have
been very effective because supply from non-OPEC countries,
like the U.S., remains high. Also,
discipline within the 12-member

organization is lax and overproduction by some members would
have cut into the effectiveness of
any production cut.
In any case, OPEC could have
not afforded to scale back production by more than 1 million barrels a day too little to make a
sizable dent in supply.
OPEC
Secretary
General
Abdullah Al-Badry suggested all
members were on board with the
decision to stick to the present
output level, telling reporters the
ministers are happy.
I see no nagging from consumers, no nagging from producers, he told reporters.
In fact, the decision once again
appeared to reflect Saudi Arabias
clout over less powerful OPEC
rivals.
By opposing an output cut,
Saudi Arabia appears to be hoping
to drive prices below the level at
which shale oil production is economical. Experts say shale oil
production turns too costly at the
$60 a barrel level.

Accounting for about a third of
OPEC output, the Saudis can
weather lower prices because their
coffers are well-padded and its production costs are relatively low.
But poorer OPEC members like
Venezuela and Nigeria need levels
close to $100 or above to fund
national budgets. Saudi rival Iran
is suffering, too, with the price
drop adding to huge revenue losses
due to sanctions on its crude sales
imposed over its nuclear program.
If sanctions were to be lifted as
part of a nuclear agreement next
year, Iran still would need prices
close to $140 a barrel to finance
the government budget. Crude
export revenues finance more than
50 percent of the governments
outlays.
In the case of Venezuela, the
International Monetary Fund says
it needs to sell oil at around $120
a barrel to avoid the threat of
national bankruptcy. Bank of
America estimates that for every
dollar that oil prices drop, the
state loses $770 million in net
revenue over a year. That puts revenue $12 billion a year below
peak levels even if current prices
dont fall further.
Millions expected to
shop on Thanksgiving
By Anne DInnocenzio
NEW YORK Millions of

Americans are expected to head to the
stores for holiday gift shopping on
Thanksgiving in whats quickly
becoming a new holiday tradition.
Just a few years ago when a few
stores started opened late on the holiday, the move was met with resistance from workers and shoppers who
believed the day should be sacred.
Last year, more than dozen major
retailers opened at some point on
Thanksgiving evening. And this
year, at least half of them including Target, Macys, Staples and J.C.
Penney are opening earlier in the
evening on the holiday.
The Thanksgiving openings are

sales promotions. But increasingly,
theyve been pushing those promotions earlier on Friday and eventually into the holiday itself to grab
deal-hungry shoppers attention.
Bill
Martin,
co-founder of
ShopperTrak, which tracks data at
70,000 stores globally, is expecting
a sales increase of 3 percent to 5 percent to $2.57 billion to $2.62 billion on Thanksgiving. Last years
figure grew two-fold from the year
before.
The National Retail Federation
expects 25. 6 million shoppers to
take advantage of the Thanksgiving
openings, down slightly down from
last year.
Kathy Grannis, a spokeswoman at
the retail trade group, said that earlier

promotions in the month and shoppers uncertainty about when they
can get the best deals are factors that
could lead to fewer shoppers coming
out on the holiday.
Nevertheless, Thanksgiving is
starting to take a bite out of Black
Friday business. Indeed, sales
dropped 13.2 percent to $9.74 billion on Black Friday last year.
Analysts said Thanksgiving sales
were in part responsible for the
decline.
And Gerald Storch, who runs a
retail consultancy called Storch
Advisors, said stores that open on
Thanksgiving get more of their share
for the weekend than others who
open on Friday.
Thats why they keep doing it, he
said. You have to be first.
Being first lures shoppers like Fred
Peek of Atlanta. He plans to shop on
Thanksgiving at Best Buy or WalMart for a camera. Peek said that with
more stores opening for a longer

period of time on Thanksgiving, he
believes shopping will be less hectic
that last year.
It wont be such a rush trying to
get to where I need to get to, he said.
Not every store is opening on
Thanksgiving,
though.
Some,
including GameStop, Costco and
Ikea, have said they wont open
because they want their workers to
enjoy the holiday with their families.
At GameStop, we often use the
phrase protect the family in reference to our business, the video game
retailer said in a company statement.
And not every shopper is happy
about stores opening on the holiday.
A number of petitions have been circulating on change. org targeting
Wal-Mart, Target and other retailers
for opening their stores on
Thanksgiving, or starting their sales
that day. Most of Wal-Marts stores
already open around the clock.

gets cooking in comeback win
Eagles blast Cowboys to take over NFC East lead

By Schuyler Dixon
ARLINGTON, Texas LeSean McCoy

threw open his arms just before crossing the
goal line on a touchdown run that essentially put away another big win over the Dallas
Cowboys.
While Philadelphia didnt walk off with a
playoff berth in hand after beating the
Cowboys 33-10 on Thursday, it was a sweet
Thanksgiving for McCoy, Mark Sanchez
and the Eagles.
McCoy ran for 159 yards and a touch-
down, Sanchez had his first scoring run in

almost three years and the Eagles rolled in a
matchup of NFC East co-leaders on the field
where McCoy clinched last seasons rushing title and Philadelphia won a playoffsor-bust finale.
This really felt like last year, said
McCoy, who had a season-high 25 carries.
It really did.
Tony Romo wasnt around for that game
because he was two days removed from back
surgery. This time he was trying to play a
quick turnaround for the first time, and after
yet another back injury. He looked ragged as
the Cowboys (8-4) lost their third straight

home game.
It was definitely short just from the
Sunday night coming to here, said Romo,
who threw two interceptions without a
touchdown, snapping a streak of 38 straight
games with at least one TD toss. I dont
really think that had much to do with the
outcome of the game. I think they just
played better than us.
The Eagles (9-3) opened with quick drives
of 80 and 88 yards for touchdowns. They
took sole possession of the division lead
with four games remaining, including a
Niners undone by nemesis

By Janie McCauley
SANTA CLARA Richard Sherman provided the moment of the game against the 49ers
once again, a mere 10 months after his touchdown-saving deflection in the NFC championship that sent the Seattle Seahawks to the
Super Bowl.
Sherman set up the only touchdown with
another key defensive play in this heated
rivalry, then made a second interception with
the 49ers driving late, and the Seahawks ended
a five-game losing streak on San Franciscos
home field with a 19-3 win Thursday night.
The brash cornerback offered plenty without opening his mouth this time: Blowing
kisses to the crowd, then putting a finger to
his lips to make the hush sign before waving
goodbye.
Steven Hauschka kicked four field goals and
the Seahawks stout defense held Colin
Kaepernick and Michael Crabtree in check as
Seattle (8-4) overcame 14 penalties for 105
yards, including an offensive pass interference that negated a touchdown.
Russell Wilson passed for 236 yards and
thoroughly outplayed Kaepernick, who had
one of his worst performances for the 49ers
(7-5) in a game with high stakes for the
teams playoff hopes.
My teams all together, we are buddies.
Its a hard thing to do, winning on their
turf, Wilson said. The NFC is not easy to
win against. We are excited about that
opportunity.
After his second pick, Sherman looked at
those fans still remaining in half-empty stadium on a Thanksgiving night and waved. The
Seahawks won by the identical score they
beat first-place Arizona five days earlier.
Their fans were saying some pretty vulgar
things to us earlier, you never want to hear
that, Sherman said.
Kaepernick was 16 for 29 for 121 yards and
rematch in less than three weeks.

Were not into statements, Eagles
coach Chip Kelly said. Weve given ourselves the opportunity to play meaningful
football in December, and in this league,
every week is a whole different deal, a whole
different animal.
McCoy, who led the NFL with 1,604 yards
last season, had his fourth 100-yard game in
the past seven after going without one the
first five weeks and secured his fourth
1,000-yard season since 2010.

Watch No. 12:

Tom Brady vs.
Aaron Rodgers
By Ken Powtak
KYLE TERADA/USA TODAY SPORTS
Cornerback Richard Sherman brought his A-game to Levis Stadium as the Seahawks exploited
and anemic 49ers offense. Seattle prevailed 19-3 in the seasons first matchup between the
See NINERS, Page 12 NFC West rivals.
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. Tom Brady and

Aaron Rodgers really do have a lot in common.
During this seasons first month, the star
quarterbacks of the Patriots and Packers were
facing questions about their teams slow
starts.
Its no coincidence New England and
Green Bay are now playing at extremely
high levels. Consistent, outstanding play
by both QBs has their clubs on similar
paths.
Heading into Sundays showdown at Green
Bays Lambeau Field, Bradys Patriots and
Rodgers Packers are riding high in their
respective conferences.
New England (9-2) owns the AFCs best
record, coming in riding a seven-game winning streak. NFC North-leading Green Bay
(8-3) has won seven of eight.
Patriots coach Bill Belichick was asked if
he saw any similarities in how theyve elevated their play after the slow starts.
They both wear No. 12, he said, breaking into a grin before he left the podium.
Belichick was more expansive in praising
Rodgers.
Its just, hes great, he said. Hes quick,
hes big, he throws the ball very accurately,
has great vision down the field. He finds
guys that theres not a lot of space, but he
finds them and he hits them.
Rodgers has thrown 30 touchdowns with
just three interceptions this season, completing 66.7 percent of his passes for an
NFL-leading 119.2 QB rating. Since a 1-2
start, he has 25 TDs to two INTs, matching
Bradys 2007 record of four straight games

BRADY
the 49ers were outgained 379-164.

Sherman and Crabtree were at the center of the decisive play in Januarys NFC
title game, when Sherman deflected a
pass headed his way in the end zone and
Malcolm Smith intercepted it with less
than a minute remaining to seal the
Seahawks 23-17 victory. Sherman later
called Crabtree mediocre.
San Franciscos offense might have
earned that distinction after its latest
dud snapped the Niners three-game
winning streak.
In the waning moments with thousands of red seats already empty, 49ers
CEO Jed York posted on Twitter: Thank
you (hashtag)49ersfaithful for coming
out strong tonight. This performance
wasnt acceptable. I apologize for that.
The 49ers were held to three points or
fewer for the first time since a 29-3
Week 2 loss at Seattle last year.
Sherman got things started when he
intercepted Kaepernicks deep thirddown pass on the right sideline in the
first quarter to help set up Wilsons 13yard touchdown pass to Robert Turbin. A
wide-open Turbin easily took the ball
down the left sideline on a pretty catch-
of three or more TDs with no interceptions.

Hes the best quarterback Ive seen on tape, said New
England safety Devin McCourty, who has already faced
Denvers Payton Manning and Andrew Luck of Indianapolis
this season.
Hes the guy that commands that team, Patriots cornerback Darrelle Revis said.
Rodgers run started after he told Packers fans on his
radio show in September: Five letters here, just for
everybody out there in Packer land: R-E-L-A-X. Relax.
Were going to be OK.
He couldnt resist that answer when asked about the turnaround again this week.
I think weve been pretty relaxed, he said, smiling.
Bradys season isnt much different.
Following a blowout loss in Kansas City on Week 4,
his ability was questioned. He was asked if time had
passed him by.
Instead, during the winning streak, the 37-year-old has
connected for 22 TDs with only four interceptions, completing 67.3 percent of his passes.
What we went through, we went through, and hopefully
weve moved past that and were at a different point now,
said the two-time MVP (2007 and 10). Like I said, you
never want to ride the ups and downs of the season. There are
going to be ups, and there are going to be downs, and there
are going to be long nights. There are going to be sleepless
nights, and youve just got to stay true to what youre
doing.
When they face off for the first time in their careers as
starters, dont expect a lot of interceptions.
Rodgers and Brady are ranked No. 1 and 2, respectively,
all-time in TD/INT ratio.
Even if youre not playing your best game, if youre not
turning it over, your team is probably going to be in the
mix, said Rodgers, the 2011 MVP. (If) youre being efficient and accurate and not turning the ball over, youre probably going to win a lot of games.
Brady had a similar answer.
I do think not throwing interceptions and not turning the
ball over is hugely important to the success of the team, he
said.
Theyve both relied on scoring a lot early in games and
enter this weekend as the NFLs only two unbeaten teams in
the month.
Green Bay has averaged 44 points in November and leads
the league with 28 first-half TDs this season. New England,
second in points during the month at 39.7, is right behind
the Packers with 24 touchdowns before halftime.
In their last two home games, the Packers have put up 50plus points behind Rodgers combined nine TDs with no
interceptions.
Thats a big reason why theyre getting ahead at home
because (when) they get ahead of you, you start to press, you
turn it over, they convert into more touchdowns, and it just
piles on, Brady said.
They both grew up in California. They say they know each
other well, and Rodgers said he learned a lot watching Brady.
As a young player I liked to watch his film and study
him, said Rodgers, who turns 31 on Tuesday.
On Sunday, hell try to outdo him.
EAGLES
Although his deficit to Dallas
DeMarco Murray in the rushing race is
probably insurmountable, McCoy outgained Murray, who was held under 100
yards for just the second time this season.
Murray finished with 73 yards and
Dallas only touchdown on 20 carries,
the last a 6-yard loss when he was
dropped by Mychal Kendricks on
fourth-and-1 early in the fourth quarter.
I dont really compare myself,
McCoy said. I just try to be me. I
dont really get into that whole, especially during the season, Whos this.
Whos that thing. In the big picture,

Making his fourth start since Nick
Foles was sidelined by a broken collarbone, Sanchez was 9 of 11 for 99 yards

Sherman had the fourth two-interception game of his career with his 22nd
and 23rd picks since 2011, most in the

NFL. It was 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh
who turned him into a defensive back at
Stanford.
Sherman nearly had another late in the
first half, when Seattle outgained San
Francisco 202-71. The 49ers were held
to 23 yards rushing and shut out in the
first half for the first time this season.
Sanchez finished 20 of 29 for 217

yards with a touchdown and no interceptions two years after he was the
starter for the New York Jets and infamously ran into the back side of one of
his offensive linemen for a fumble that
New England returned for a touchdown
in a 49-19 Thanksgiving rout.
It is like my favorite holiday, so
thats not cool, Sanchez said. It was
a bummer. The game plan was to try
not to do that. And we accomplished
that.

since Dec. 24, 2011, with the Jets a
2-yarder after faking the handoff to
McCoy in the zone read. McCoy set up
the games first touchdown with a 38yard run.
The Cowboys looked a little sluggish following a kickoff that came
about 90 hours after their dramatic 3128 victory at the New York Giants on
Sunday night.
Murray had room to run at times but
couldnt break one longer than 9
yards. Romo had plenty of time early
in the game, but one time in the first
half tossed a third-down pass to
nobody in particular, giving the ball
back to the Eagles when the Cowboys
were having trouble stopping them.

We didnt respond as well as we
needed to when we were on offense,
Cowboys coach Jason Garrett said.
We were never able to kind of keep
ourselves in this game and certainly
thats a disappointment.
Romo looked skittish at times,
essentially sitting down in the pocket
with nobody in position to sack him
on a third-down play after Jeremy
Mincey recovered McCoys fumble at

The Cowboys had to settle for a field
goal, and Philadelphia answered immediately on McCoys 38-yard scoring
run, putting the Eagles up 30-10 on
their third touchdown drive of at least
80 yards.

Lions return to Thanksgiving Day dominance

By Noah Trister
DETROIT Calvin Johnsons big day was

exactly what Detroits dormant offense needed.
Johnson caught 11 passes for 146 yards
with a pair of first-half touchdowns, and the
Lions boosted their postseason hopes with a
34-17 victory over the Chicago Bears on
Thursday.
After losing at Arizona and New England
and falling out of first place in the NFC North,
the Lions (8-4) spotted Chicago a 14-3 firstquarter lead before rallying with relative ease
in the second. Johnson had perhaps his best
game of the season, and Detroit finally
showed a bit of life offensively.
Joique Bell ran for two touchdowns for the
Lions, and Jay Cutler threw two TD passes for
Chicago (5-7). Detroits Matthew Stafford
went 34 of 45 for 390 yards with the two
touchdown passes to Johnson.
Detroit had not scored this many points
since a 35-14 win over the New York Giants in
the season opener.
The Lions have now won back-to-back

games on Thanksgiving after losing their previous nine. They beat Green Bay 40-10 last
year.
That victory over the Packers was Detroits
only win in its final seven games last season
as the Lions frittered away a playoff spot.
They are again in mix for the postseason this
year, and Thursdays game was their first of
three in a row at home all against teams
with losing records.
Detroit came in with the leagues top-ranked
run defense, and Chicagos Matt Forte was a
non-factor on the ground, finishing with 6
yards on five carries. Cutler went 31 of 49 for
280 yards with two fourth-quarter interceptions.
Johnson had been held under 60 yards in
two of three games since returning from an
ankle injury, and there were rumblings that the
29-year-old receiver was slowing down. His
first half Thursday was an emphatic response:
nine catches for 109 yards.
The Bears opened the scoring on Cutlers
10-yard scoring pass to Alshon Jeffery, and
the Bears scored again after Jared Allen

34-17 win over the Bears.
sacked Stafford, forced a fumble and recovered it at the Detroit 5. Cutlers 6-yard scoring pass to Jeffery made it 14-3 with 3:35
remaining in the first quarter.

Stafford, however, was brilliant in the second. Johnson made a leaping catch for a 25yard touchdown, holding on despite a hit from
defensive back Kyle Fuller. That was the first
time Detroit had reached the end zone since
Nov. 9 against Miami.
Bell put the Lions ahead with a 1-yard scoring run on fourth down leaping toward the
goal line and extending the ball just far
enough for a touchdown. Staffords 6-yard
touchdown pass to Johnson made it 24-14
with 24 seconds left in the half.
Stafford went 22 of 26 for 275 yards in the
first half, and Johnson set a record as the
fastest to 10,000 yards receiving, surpassing
that milestone in the second quarter of his
115th game.
Bells 1-yard run in the fourth was the only
touchdown of the second half.
NOTES: Detroit center Dominic Raiola
became the first Lions player to start 200
games.
Lions wide receiver Corey Fuller caught a
21-yard pass in the first half, and his brother
Kyle the Chicago CB came over and
playfully knocked the ball out of his hands
after the play.

No. 9 UCLA must overcome Stanford for Pac-12 title

By Greg Beacham
PASADENA Just one hurdle remains

between No. 9 UCLA and the Pac-12 South
title.
Trouble is, Stanford has been an insurmountable obstacle for Brett Hundley, coach
Jim Mora and the Bruins (9-2, 6-2 Pac-12).
The Cardinal (6-5, 4-4) have won six
straight meetings between the California
schools heading into the Cardinals latest trip
to the Rose Bowl on Friday. Hundley and Mora
have lost three times to Kevin Hogan and
coach David Shaw in the previous two years
alone, and they were forced to watch while the
Cardinal played on the Bruins hallowed home
turf on the past two New Years Days.
With a win, UCLA advances to face Oregon
in the Pac-12 championship game in Santa
Clara, California, next week. With a loss, the
Bruins must watch the title game on television
while knowing Stanford still has their number.
If that doesnt motivate you, I dont
know, Bruins receiver Jordan Payton said.
What we have at stake, what is in our grasp
everything is there for us as long as we
keep winning.
Hundley realizes the

stakes in whats likely to
be his home finale after
three
record-breaking
years at UCLA, but he
isnt making it personal.
His 39th consecutive start
is just a chance to keep the
Bruins moving toward a
David Shaw shot at the College
Football Playoff.
Ive done a lot throughout my career here,
and hopefully we can pull out this win on
Friday, Hundley said.
Stanford clinched bowl eligibility last
week, but a rocky regular season means that
its new postseason destination wont be
nearly as glamorous as the Rose Bowl,
where the Cardinal went 1-1 in the past two
years. Shaw doesnt believe they should be
motivated by the chance to spoil UCLAs
season yet again, but their familiarity with
Pasadena surely wont hurt.
The surroundings wont be foreign to us,
which is great, Shaw said. But its different
than the Rose Bowl (game). The fans wont be
split. The Wisconsin fans and the Michigan
State fans were loud, but they didnt have the
whole stadium. Were going to have a really,

really small section of the Rose Bowl. Its
going to be all UCLA.
Real-time results
has allowed 30 points just once this season.

Hundley and the Bruins need a breakthrough
after getting held to 51 combined points in
three meetings with the Cardinal over the past
two years.
Well be able to watch the Pac-12 South race

decided simultaneously on two fields about
485 miles apart Saturday afternoon: Arizona
is hosting Arizona State for the Territorial Cup
in Tucson at the same time UCLA takes on
Stanford. The Bruins, Wildcats and Sun Devils
all have 6-2 conference records, but UCLA
won its head-to-head matchups with both
Arizona schools. If the Bruins lose, the
Territorial Cup winner takes the division.
Bruins roll
Big loss
These teams familiarity should lead to a

high-level game. UCLA has studied Stanfords
old-school approach on both sides of the ball.
Lots of runs, lot of power, and some physicality up front that we havent seen in the Pac12 yet, said Bruins linebacker Eric
Kendricks, one of 12 seniors likely finishing
their Rose Bowl careers. They do different
things than everyone else, but this is my
fourth time playing them in three years, so I
know what to expect. Were ready.
Receiver Ty Montgomery, the Cardinals best

skill position player and kick returner, will miss
the game with a right shoulder injury. Stanford
already has the lowest-scoring offense in the
high-octane Pac-12, but Hogan will have several experienced targets in Montgomerys place.
Shutdown D
UCLAs offense has scored at least 30 points
in seven of its last eight games, but Stanford
Ever since a one-sided loss to Oregon

dropped the Bruins out of the Top 25 in midOctober, theyve won five straight in increasingly impressive fashion. Another win would
give UCLA its first back-to-back 10-victory
seasons since 1997-98.

ALAMEDA Theres not much

Derek Carr hasnt seen in his first
season with the Oakland Raiders,
from Rex Ryans exotic blitz packages in New York to the dominant
defensive fronts of Arizona and
Kansas City.
The rookie quarterback kept the
Raiders going as they suffered
through 10 consecutive losses to
begin the season, then led them on a
coming-of-age game-winning drive
on national television to end the
skid.
Its all been a part of the growing
process for Carr, who has a growing
legion of fans around the league.
St. Louis Rams coach Jeff Fisher is
among them.
You can tell they have a franchise
quarterback now, said Fisher, whose
team plays the Raiders on Sunday in
St. Louis. Hes developing. It looks
like each week hes getting better,
making good decisions (and) obviously has a strong arm.
Carr was the fourth quarterback
selected in the draft when the Raiders
took him in the second round out of
Fresno State, but he long ago began
to stand out from the other three
Minnesotas Teddy Bridgewater,
Jacksonvilles Blake Bortles and
Clevelands Johnny Manziel.
He became only the 12th rookie in
NFL history to pass for more than
2,000 yards in his teams first 10
games. Carr did it despite getting little support from Oaklands running
game most of the year.
The first rookie quarterback to ever
start a season opener for the Raiders,
Carr also owns the franchise rookie
record for passing yards (2,249) and
touchdowns (14) with five games
still left to play.
NCAA hoops
Tennessee downs Santa Clara

ORLANDO, Fla. Tennessee got 18
points apiece from Josh Richardson and
Armani Moore, and took control with
impressive defensive play to start the second half en route to a 64-57 win over Santa
Clara Thursday in the opening round of the
Orlando Classic.
Tennessee used a 14-0 run to open the second half to go up 41-30 with 11:55 left.
Richardson gave the Volunteers their first
lead, 32-30, since early in the game with 17
minutes remaining.
Santa Clara didnt get its first second-half
None of it seemed to matter much,

however, until Carr guided Oakland
on a 17-play, 80-yard drive that took
more than seven minutes off the
clock and culminated with a touchdown pass to wide receiver James
Jones with 1:42 left to play against
the Chiefs on Nov. 20.
I will say it was a relief that it
ended up in a win, Carr said. I was
tired of coming in the next day and
having to watch the film on a loss.
Everything is better when you win.
It was the sixth time this season
that Carr engineered a touchdown
in the final two minutes of a game.
That it gave the Raiders their first
win of the year and ended the franchises 16-game losing streak
made it that much sweeter.
Experience is one of the best
teachers there is, Oakland offensive coordinator Greg Olson said
Friday. Hes never a guy thats
looking at the scoreboard and
wondering whether this touchdown matters or not. Hes trying
to go out there and score.
Several of his Oakland teammates have praised Carr, not only
for the poise he showed in the huddle on the winning drive against
the Chiefs but for how hes handled himself all season.
None of it is surprising to Rams
strong safety T.J. McDonald.
McDonald grew up in Fresno, and
his father, former NFL star Tim
McDonald, was an assistant coach
with the Bulldogs for one season
while Carr was there.
One thing about him thats
always stood out is his leadership
ability and the intangibles at quarterback, T.J. McDonald said. Hes a
guy that guys just seem to gravitate
toward and always has a positive
attitude.
points until Jared Brownridge made a layup

with 10 1/2 minutes to play. Kai Healey hit
a 3 in the final minute to cut the deficit to
59-55, but Broncos could get no closer.
Jabari McGhee added eight points and nine
rebounds for Tennessee (2-1), which faced
off-court distractions this week following
the resignation of an assistant coach.
Brandon Clark scored 21 points and Jared
Brownridge added 12 for Santa Clara (2-3).
Clark moved past Scott Lamson (1,120)
into 25th place on the school career points
scored list with 1,132.

One pork tenderloin, three fresh ways to serve it

By Alison Ladman
The holidays are stressful

enough, never mind if you feel the
need to reinvent your dinner repertoire every time someone new
pops over. But at the same time,
December is going to be an awful
long month if you resort to making the same dish over and over
again. So we figured there had to
be a delicious middle ground.
And there was. Our idea was simple pick a cut of meat that is
easy to have on hand, simple to
prepare for both small groups and
crowds, and yet versatile enough
to pair with multiple flavors.
Our choice? Pork tenderloin.
Though delicious and tender, it
also is neutral enough to pair wonderfully with numerous ingredients. Its also easy to cook. We
like to rub it with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, then
roast for about 30 minutes. The
entire process takes about 5 minutes hands-on time. Thinly sliced,
the tenderloins can be paired with
any number of sauces or toppings.
Weve offered up three versions
here a tangy butternut squash
pesto, a garlic-rich potato puree,
and a glaze of cranberries and

apple cider. Add some fresh bread
and a salad and youve got a great
holiday meal that you can repeat
multiple times without ever feeling in a rut.
peeled and cubed russet potatoes

for 15 minutes, or until very tender. Pass the potatoes through a
food mill or ricer and into a large
bowl. Remove the bay leaves from
the half-and-half and discard. In a
blender, puree the half-and-half
with the garlic until completely
smooth. Gradually whisk the halfand-half into the potatoes, allowing it to be absorbed before adding
more. Whisk in 6 tablespoons
butter, then season with salt and
black pepper. Sprinkle with
chopped fresh thyme, then serve
alongside the pork tenderloin.

Tater Tots appealing to hipsters and home cooks

By Michelle Locke
Tater Tots have come a long way

from your school lunch tray.
The comfort (and kid) food staple, which celebrates its 60th
anniversary this year, has been
making it big on the bar scene,
showing up as a crispy snack
recently everywhere from neighborhood holes-in-the-wall to
upscale craft bars. Meanwhile,
home cooks and haute chefs alike
have been inspired to come up
with their own tweaks on the Tot.
Barbecue bacon wrapped Tots.
Breakfast burrito Tots. Pizza Tots.
Totchos think nachos only

with Tots instead of tortilla chips
and the rather meta Tots-topped
baked potatoes.
Its not really surprising that so
many people are inspired to
become Tater creators, says Julie
Crist, whose own love of the spud
nuggets prompted her to open The
Tot Cart, which has taken such
inventions as chicken Tot pie and
pulled pork Tots to the streets of
the Philadelphia region.
You can really do anything
with a potato. Its like a blank
canvas, she points out.
Tater Tots began humbly enough
as a way to use up left over potato
slivers from frozen french fries,

which then were a main product of
the Ore-Ida company. The Tots
selling point was that they were
crisp on the outside, fluffy on the
inside, qualities that still appeal.
At Daddy-O, a whiskey bar in
New York City, owner Phillip
Casaceli has been serving fried
Tater Tots for about 15 years. It
was one of the first menu items
when the place opened in the summer of 1999. We were a late-night
crowd. The Tater Tots just worked
really well with that demographic.
You can get Tater Tots kicked up
with cheese and jalapenos at
Bacon wrapped Tater Tots is one of many ways cooks are dressing up the
traditional comfort food.
Daddy-O, but the
straight-up Tots are
also popular. What
most people are looking for is that iconic
kind of Tater Tot that
brings them back to
their youth, says
Casaceli,
waxing
philosophical.
Today, Casaceli estimates Daddy-O goes
through 150 to 200
pounds of Tater Tots a
week and hes seen the
trend spread to other
bars in the city. They
also are on the menu at
uber-hip PDT (please
dont tell).

straight up with sea salt on the
side, blanketed with cheese and
other sauces, or taken uptown with

In Philadelphia, Crist finds her
best-seller are Tots tossed in Old
Bay seasoning and served with a
homemade sauce of something
called drunk cheese.
While many use the classic OreIda Tot, some are serving housemade versions, like the brisket
tots at The Gander in Manhattan.

cuts the mixture into circles and rolls them
in potato flakes. The finished tots are served
with an aerated mustard sauce made of creme
fraiche and Dijon alongside cylinders of
pickled apple.
I wanted to come up with a snack that
everyone would just love, says Schenker.
He understands the lure of the classic OreIda product, too. Its something about the
19
texture, the saltiness. Its when you bite into

something and theres that crunch.
These days Ore-Idas Tater Tots are made
from dedicated potatoes not slivers from
french fry cutting but not much has
changed about the process except for some
technology upgrades, says Fed Arreola, vice
president of marketing for Ore-Ida. The company sells about 86 million pounds of Tater
Tots each year and officials are, naturally,
happy to see Tots popping up on menus and
Pinterest pages.
Its very exciting, says Arreola.

White bean bruschetta is a delicious, filling and healthy holiday treat.
Lean, filling beans help

Parties can be tricky territory for the

healthy eater. If you host, you want to serve
guests something tasty enough to make the
occasion feel special. And if you are a
guest, you want to bring something delicious and impressive, but that wont totally
blow your diet. My solution? Tuck something nutritious and delicious on that hors

Enter the white bean.
White beans are my favorite party trick. I
include white beans in the first course of
almost any party I host. Why? White beans
are a compact burst of lean protein and

is a great budget entertaining strategy.
All that the protein and fiber make beans
filling. And by filling up a bit on white
beans early in the party, Im less likely to
fall prey to endless visits to the chocolate
fountain (once or twice will do nicely). But
what to make with beans that would be
party-worthy? While a white bean chili can
make a fantastic appetizer (serve in cute
espresso cups or plastic party shooter
glasses), its also easy to think outside the
chili pot!
Focus on either the meatiness of the bean
(use them in baked taquitos, or swap out the
crab and make tiny spicy bean cakes) or the
creaminess of the bean (blend them with
roasted garlic into a creamy dipping sauce
for chicken skewers, use instead of chickpeas for hummus, or add to your favorite
tapenade).
The appetizer options for white beans are
endless, but to get you started try my winter
white bean bruschetta, which pairs the flavors of the holiday season with a classic
summertime dish.
WINTER WHITE BEAN BRUSCHETTA

Start to finish: 20 minutes
Servings: 8
4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1/4 teaspoon sweet or smoky paprika
Kosher salt and ground black pepper
10- to 12-ounce baguette, cut into 24
thin slices
1/2 cup finely chopped yellow onion
10 oil-packed sundried tomatoes, patted
dry and finely chopped
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh rosemary
2 teaspoons chopped fresh oregano (or 1
teaspoon dried)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup dry white wine
15-ounce can white beans, drained and
rinsed
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
Heat the oven to 400 F.
In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of the
olive oil with the paprika and a pinch each
of salt and pepper. Lightly brush the oil
mixture over both sides of the baguette
slices. Arrange the bread on a rimmed baking sheet then toast in the oven until just
turning golden, about 8 minutes, turning
halfway through.
In a large skillet over medium, heat the
remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add
the onion and cook until softened, about 5
minutes. Add the sundried tomatoes, rosemary, oregano and garlic, then cook for
another minute. Increase heat to mediumhigh and add the wine, scraping the pan. Let
the wine simmer for 1 minute, then stir in
the beans. Season with salt and pepper.
Remove from heat and stir in the parsley.
To serve, spoon the bean mixture onto each
slice of baguette and arrange on a platter.

United States diagnosed with a primary or metastatic brain tumor annually. A metastatic brain tumor is cancer that started in another part of the
body and spread to the brain, according to Voices Against Brain Cancer, a
nonprofit organization committed to
finding a cure for brain cancer.
Despite the setback, Yurchenko
has remained positive throughout,
continues to attend school as much
as he can and was even recently honored with the Courage Award by the
Voices Against Brain Cancer at its
first annual Join the Voices! Against
Brain
Cancer
San
Francisco
Run/Walk. He and his team, the
Tumornators, participated in the 5K
walk
at
the
event.
This
Thanksgiving he says he is most
thankful for life.
Its put things into perspective,
he said. I was that sophomore who
had tunnel vision about grades. I
still care about school, but Im not in
a grind.
It all started when he started getting severe headaches. He was
pulling all-nighters for final exams
and thought it was just migraines
from not sleeping. He saw an eye
doctor, which led to him eventually
getting an MRI. The doctors found a
tumor in his brain and two others in
his spine. The tumors are kind of
malignant, but benign in some ways
since theyre not growing, he said.
Right now, the goal of his treatment which will likely continue
into February 2015 is to stabilize
the tumors. There is still no prognosis on his tumors, but doctors would
like to stop them from growing,
potentially shrink them and possibly get rid of them.
I dont see a point in being sad,
he said. At first I was hesitant to
meet a lot of kids (with cancer). Its
sad because a lot of the kids are
younger than I am. When I was
diagnosed I didnt really know what
was going on. It was scary for the
doctors and my parents.
Yurchenko deals with a lot of
symptoms including nausea and
fatigue from his Tuesday five- to sixhour chemotherapy sessions. Hes at
the Lucile Packard Childrens
Hospital at Stanford about three
times a week for the therapy, along
with acupuncture, biofeedback and
hypnosis. This makes it difficult for
him to make it to school every day,
but his teachers have been supportive in keeping him in the loop on
his physics, Jewish literature, calculus, English, world history and
physical training.
I miss an average of two days a

week of school, said Yurchenko,
who has two sisters and an 8-monthold baby brother Jacob. Its a lot of
makeup work. Missing school
isnt fun anymore. I want to experience boring physics and history
class.
Because he enjoys photography so
much, he has been volunteering for
the Pablove Shutterbugs foundation
that helps children who are going
through cancer treatment learn about
photography. Although he started
out as a participant, he now is more
like a teachers assistant in the program. Hes also volunteered for the
Bay Area Friendship Circle group
that pairs high school students with
children that have special needs for a
full range of social Judaic and educational experiences.
Its almost like her son lives in
two worlds, said his mom Masha
Merkulova. One with the oncology
kids and one with his high school
peers in Palo Alto, she said.
Its hard for him because he looks
totally fine, she said. You would
never know. Hes always stayed so
positive and its made all the difference. He always seems to find the silver lining.
Without much hair lost, Yurchenko
said people will ask why he cant do
certain things, he said. He has to
hold back on anything that could be
risky since he is amino compromised. He had to forego jumping off
a waterfall at the Yosemite for that
reason.
People dont understand that, he
said. If something happens to me,
Ill need serious treatment.
For parents dealing with children
awaiting diagnoses, Merkulova, who
is a nurse, advises having a sense of
humor and not rushing to Google or
WebMD.
Dont look stuff up, she said.
Go to the cafeteria.
Have a baby, Yurchenko interjected with a wink.
Reading online information can be
overwhelming, Merkulova said. She
didnt know much about brain cancer,
but she said she knew it wasnt good.
Theres so much information and
you will start spinning, Merkulova
said. Outsource it to your friends.
We never really sweated the small
stuff before, now its even more.
Grades and colleges all take care of
themselves. Valuing life is a big
takeaway. Were blessed because it
could have been a lot worse. Thank
God he can walk, he can talk and
well beat this thing.
One thing thats of concern for the
family is the lack of funding going
to research childhood cancers. In
2006, the National Cancer Institutes
federal budget was $4. 6 billion. Of
that, breast cancer received 12 per-
THE DAILY JOURNAL
cent, prostate cancer received 7 percent and all 12 major groups of pediatric cancers combined received less
than 3 percent. And childhood cancer
research gets 2. 96 percent of the
money raised by the American
Cancer Society. There is also little
funding going to combating brain
tumors even though its one of the
most deadly cancers, the family said.
The treatment of chemo drugs are
25 years old, Merkulova said.
Theres been nothing new on a large
scale because theres no funding for
brain tumors. Theres small-scale
research but because theres no funding you cant do large trials.
Still, a lot of people have appeared
in their lives that have helped both
emotionally and financially. It was
still especially scary for Merkulova
because she was also pregnant at the
time of his diagnosis.
I never felt alone, Merkulova
said.
And Yurchenko hasnt felt alone
either. Friends text him on Tuesdays
before chemo to wish him luck or on
Wednesdays to see how it went, while
teachers offer to call him over
Thanksgiving break to go over
assignments. There has been an outpouring of support from their synagogue Congregation Beth Jacob in
Redwood City. Friends even threw
him a surprise party after an initial
three-week stint in the hospital. He
recommends other children diagnosed with cancer should channel
everything positively.
Everything happens for a reason;
thats my inner struggle, he said.
Sometimes it does make sense to be
upset for a while, but its not productive. Stuff happens and it doesnt
mean life is over; it just has to
change a little bit.
Having a crying baby in the house
had been a nice distraction too,
Yurchenko said.
It makes our home normal instead
of being depressed about something, Merkulova said. Its new
life.
Being nominated for the award by
Dr. Gerald Grant, an Iraq War surgeon, was really special for
Yurchenko, Merkulova said.
He definitely knows what courage
is, Merkulova said. That makes it
extra special.

ANSWERS
FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 2014

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Dont make
promises you cant keep. If you arent ready to make
a commitment, be truthful and move on. Hurt feelings
will result if you say one thing and do another.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Take a close look
at your personal papers. Put all your documents and
information in order. It will feel good to have loose ends
tied up before the end of the year.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) You are likely to
hear unpleasant news. Try to react responsibly, not
emotionally. Everything will get better if you are patient
and deal with matters as they arise.

so dont let anyone or anything slow you down. You are
headed for the top, and any unnecessary delays could
alter the positive outcome you are after.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You will feel down
today, making it necessary to put a positive spin
on whatever you do. Be the first to offer a smile,
compliment or kind word, and good things will happen.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Its surprising how many
useful connections can be made when you volunteer
your time or services. Dont pass up a chance to help
others. Increased visibility will be beneficial.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Its time to take
ownership. Take charge of your responsibilities and
face the consequences of your actions. Dont blame
others for your situation; just do something about it.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) A chance encounter
will blossom into a fabulous, long-lasting
friendship. Get out and socialize so that you can

meet people from different walks of life. It may be
time to spice things up.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) You may want to call a
truce with someone youre fighting with. Accept your
share of the blame and move on. Life is too short to
hold grudges or waste time arguing.
