Leading local news coverage on the Peninsula
By Carla K. Johnson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHICAGO The Obama administration
is delaying yet another aspect of the health
care law, putting off until next November
the launch of an online portal to the health
insurance marketplace for small businesses.
The move, announced Wednesday, was
needed because repairs are still underway to
the troubled HealthCare.gov website, which
is the primary way for individuals to apply
for insurance, and that has priority, federal
ofcials said.
In a conference call with reporters,
administration ofcials said employers who
want to buy marketplace plans for their
workers now will need to go through an
agent, broker or insurance company this
year, instead of using the government web-
site. The administration said the plan will
still allow small businesses to buy cover-
age but avoid slowing technical repairs to
the hobbled federal online site.
Under the law, most small businesses do
not have to provide coverage. But rms
with 50 or more employees face a mandate
to offer insurance or risk nes from the gov-
ernment in 2015.
The HealthCare.gov site, where individu-
als without employer-sponsored health care
can shop for insurance, is now smoothly
handling 25,000 users at the same time and
is on track to meet its goal of handling
50,000 simultaneous users by Saturday, said
administration spokeswoman Julie
Bataille. We have a lot of work left to do in
the next few days, she said.

Two cousins open their restaurant for
free Thanksgivingdinner in San Carlos
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Bridging the gap between cultures, sharing a meal and
being thankful for what one has is a theme cousins Kemal
and Ilker Kurt know well.
Theyre inviting the community to come and share a free
extensive Thanksgiving spread at their Spasso Ristorante
and Wine Bar in San Carlos today.
I think its a great thing to get families together. Thats
the reason were doing it, because a lot of the people that
come dont have family, dont have money, and we want to
share with them, Kemal Kurt said.
Although they didnt grow up celebrating Thanksgiving,
there is a Turkish holiday that revolves around giving back
and sharing food with those less fortunate, Ilker Kurt said.
The desire to assist people who may not have relatives near-
by or be able to afford food is a cross-cultural tradition, Ilker
Kurt said.

Teen hurt in alleged
hate crime leaving hospital
OAKLAND An 18-year-old
Northern California boy who was set
on re on a public bus in what author-
ities are calling a hate crime was
expected to leave the hospital.
Sasha Fleischmans father, Karl,
told KNTV in San Jose that his son
should be home from St. Francis
Memorial Hospital in San Francisco
by Wednesday.
Sasha suffered second and third-
degree burns when the skirt he was
wearing was set on re earlier this
month on a bus in Oakland.
Prosecutors have charged 16-year-
old Richard Thomas, of Oakland, as an
adult with hate crimes in the attack.
Police say Thomas told investigators
he was homophobic.
Sashas family and friends say Sasha
identies as neither male nor female.
Thomass attorney, William Du
Bois, has said his client is not homo-
phobic and engaged in a prank that
went wrong.
Space hosts busy
Thanksgiving with launch, comet
FIRST COURSE:
Comet ISON, which was discovered
a year ago, is making its rst spin
around the sun and will come the clos-
est to the super-hot solar surface at
1:37 p.m. EST. It may take a few hours
before astronomers know if the comet
survived its brush with the sun. If it
survives, and maybe even if it doesnt ,
people in the Northern Hemisphere
will have a good chance of seeing the
comet or its remains in the rst
two weeks of December just before
sunrise and after sunset. It wont be
visible with the naked eye on
Thursday, but NASAhas a eet of tele-
scopes trained on ISON.
SECOND COURSE:
For the six people on board the
International Space Station includ-
ing American astronauts Mike
Hopkins and Rick Mastracchio its
time for a traditional Thanksgiving
feast. But dont expect them to be
carving a succulent bird. In a video
from space, the two astronauts showed
off their menu, all in small sealed
packets: irradiated smoked turkey,
thermostabilized yams, cornbread
dressing, potatoes, freeze-dried
asparagus, baked beans, bread, cob-
bler and what Hopkins called his
favorite dehydrated green bean casse-
role. It comes with a view from space
that is juicier than any turkey on
Earth. Though we miss our families,
its great to be in space, Hopkins said
from 260 miles above Earth in a taped
message.
DESSERT:
Residents of Floridas Space Coast
may get to see a rocket thunder
through the sky around dinner time if
all goes well. Private rm SpaceX of
Hawthorne, Calif., will try again to
launch its Falcon-9 rocket between
5:38 p.m. and 6:44 p.m. EST from
Cape Canaveral Air Station. The large
rocket didnt launch in a rst attempt
Monday because of a technical glitch.
The rocket is carrying a 7,055-pound
telecommunications satellite for a
Luxembourg rm. This is part of a
growing trend of newer rocket rms
SpaceX is headed by PayPal founder
Elon Musk launching more and

Ruling on hot sauce
factory raises job worries
IRWINDALE Ajudge has ordered a
plant that produces the popular
Sriracha chili sauce to stop emitting
annoying odors in a ruling that left
some nearby residents worried about a
possible loss of jobs at the factory.
Judge Robert H. OBrien on Tuesday
ruled in favor of the city of Irwindale,
where Sriracha recently relocated, say-
ing sauce maker Huy Fong Foods must
stop any operations that could be
causing the odors and make unspeci-
ed changes to mitigate them.
The company had no immediate
comment, but a few neighbors inter-
viewed Wednesday dismissed the com-
plaints and worried that jobs might be
lost if the plant is forced to close.

Two Burlingame High School sopho-
mores want to help feed the less fortunate
with a program they started this summer
that gets girls involved in helping a partic-
ular cause.
Eleni Rally and Gracie Brand launched
their nonprot Camp for a Cause in August
raising more than $2,100 for their rst
cause, Alzheimers disease research and
care. Their second camp, a Thanksgiving
session, began Sunday and runs until tomor-
row. The cause this time is InnVi si on
Shelter Network in San Mateo. The eight
campers, age 10-12, are baking bread for
the cause, learning and performing dances
and volunteering as a camp on
Thanksgiving morning to help prepare the
Thanksgiving meal.
Our idea for this organization was to cre-
ate a way to do meaningful community serv-
ice, and have fun while doing so, they
wrote in a statement. We decided to gather a
group of campers to help us with our cause,
by means of a common passion dance.
We knew that our first cause would be
Alzheimers, in that we both have had
friends and family suffer from or die from
this disease.
The girls are starting out small and local,
but hope to expand their work to help many
other causes that are important in the world.
We hope that we can raise awareness and
teach others that doing charity and service
is very fullling and fun too, they wrote.
What do the two like about running the
camp?
We love that we can dance and work with
young girls, because it is always fun and
exciting, they wrote. The campers get so
into learning the dances, performing and
raising money, it is very touching. The work
is all so worth it knowing that at the end of
the day, we will have made a difference
through our fundraising and volunteering.
For this Thanksgiving event, they hope
to raise close to $1,000. The camp is volun-
teering at First Step for Families in San
Mateo from 8 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. on
Thanksgiving morning and they are donat-
ing dozens of pumpkin bread loaves to
Shelter Network to give to its residents and
donors.
Over summer vacation, the two girls plan
to have at least two weeks of camp, but the
causes they will be supporting are still
undetermined, as well as the dates.
For more information or to make a dona-
tion to their cause, visit
campsforacause.org. The camp will perform
11 a.m. tomorrow at the Burlingame Avenue
train station. Camp for a Cause baked more
than 100 loaves of homemade pumpkin
bread. Sixty were donated to the Vendome
Hotel in San Mateo and the rest will be sold
by the campers to raise money for the
Shelter Network.

OAKLAND Truck drivers and their sup-
porters picketed at the Port of Oakland on
Wednesday over an impending deadline to
upgrade their trucks to meet clean air stan-
dards and what they said were long wait
times to pick up loads.
Television news footage showed
Oakland police keeping dozens of protest-
ers away from the entrance to one of the
ports terminals in the morning. Six peo-
ple were cited for creating a hazard in a
roadway, but no one was arrested, accord-
ing to Oakland police spokeswoman
Johnna Watson.
Port officials said operations were not
disrupted.
The demonstration was organized by the
Port of Oakland Truckers Association, a
group of San Francisco Bay Area truck
owners and contract drivers. The group was
protesting a California Air Resources
Board rule requiring all drivers hauling
cargo at major seaports and rail yards in
the state to have trucks with 2007 or newer
model year engines by Jan. 1, 2014.
The truckers say the requirement is a
financial burden, especially when they
have already spent thousands of dollars
installing new air filters to meet clean-air
standards.
They want CARB to extend the deadline
and make grant money available again.
The Air Resources Board said it has made
more than $65 million in grants for truck
upgrades available to Oakland port truck-
ers, and more than 85 percent of truck own-
ers have upgraded to a newer, compliant
truck.
Extending the deadline beyond Jan. 1
would essentially penalize that 85 percent
who have invested in cleaner trucks, the
board said in a statement.

Strong-arm robbery in San Mateo Central Park
Police are on the lookout for a man who robbed a 24-year-
old woman near San Mateo Central Parks rose garden
Tuesday evening.
At approximately 6:20 p.m., the woman was walking her
dog through the park when a man approached her, struck her
with an unknown object and ed toward the Japanese Tea
Garden. He is described as dark-skinned, in his 20s, about 5
feet 10 inches, 160 pounds and wearing a green jacket and
black at-billed hat, according to San Mateo police.
The victim suffered a non life-threatening injury during
this incident, and was treated by paramedics at the scene,
according to police.
Police are coordinating with San Mateo park rangers and
providing increased patrols in Central Park both to provide
additional safety and to continue to look for the suspect, as
detectives continue to investigate the crime and search for
connections to other crimes and suspects.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. Awet and blustery storm along the
East Coast made driving hazardous and tangled up hundreds
of ights Wednesday but didnt cause the all-out gridlock
many Thanksgiving travelers had feared.
Many travelers marveled at how orderly and anxiety-free
the airports were during what is typically one of the busiest
days of the year.
One big question lingered in New York: Will high winds
ground Snoopy and the other giant cartoon-character bal-
loons at the Macys parade on Thanksgiving Day?
The storm for the most part unleashed wind-driven rain
along the Northeasts heavily populated Interstate 95 corri-
dor from Richmond, Va., to the tip of Maine.
Emerging from the weather gantlet was Katie Fleisher,
who made it by car from Portsmouth, N.H., through rain and
fog to Bostons Logan Airport with little trouble and dis-
covered to her amazement that the panicked, cranky crowds
she expected were nonexistent.
We thought it would be busier here. But thereve been no
lines, and it has been really quiet all morning, said
Fleisher, whose plan was to y to Pittsburgh.
Our ight is still on time, but we are checking the app
every couple minutes, she said. We are nervous, as we are
traveling with two 1-year-olds, and any extra time on a
plane would be horrible.
The storm was expected to drop around 6 inches of snow
in parts of West Virginia and western Pennsylvania and up
to a foot in a pocket of upstate New York.
Damaging winds gusting up to 60 mph were expected to
rip through Boston and other coastal areas.
Those winds could prevent the giant balloons from taking
ight this year at the Macys parade. Safety rules that spec-
ify wind speeds were enacted in New York after a spectator
was killed in 1997 in an accident involving an out-of-con-
trol balloon.
Flight cancellations piled up at East Coast hubs. By mid-
day Wednesday, around 250 flights had been canceled,
according to the tracking website FlightAware.com.
But that was a tiny fraction of the nearly 32,000 ights
that were scheduled to, from or within the U.S. on
Wednesday, the site said. And the weather in many places
was improving as the day wore on.

I n s u r a n c e S e r v i c e s
By Lauran Neergaard
WASHINGTON An experimental device
is letting paralyzed people drive wheel-
chairs simply by icking their tongue in
the right direction.
Key to this wireless system: Users get
their tongue pierced with a magnetic stud
that resembles jewelry and acts like a joy-
stick, in hopes of offering them more
mobility and independence.
Researchers reported Wednesday that 11
people paralyzed from the neck down rapid-
ly learned to use the tongue device to pilot
their wheelchairs through an obstacle
course full of twists and turns, and to oper-
ate a computer, too.
Its really powerful because its so intu-
itive, said Jason DiSanto, 39, of Atlanta,
who was among the rst spinal cord-injured
patients to get his tongue pierced for sci-
ence and try out the system. The rst time
I did it, people thought I was driving for,
like, years.
The team of researchers in Atlanta and
Chicago put the Tongue Drive System to the
test against one of the most widely used
assistive technologies, called sip-and-puff,
that users operate by breathing into a straw.
Using the tongue, patients operated their
wheelchairs a bit faster but just as accurate-
ly and on average, they performed about
three times better on video game-like com-
puter tests, said lead researcher Maysam
Ghovanloo, director of Georgia Techs
bionics lab.
The research, reported in the journal
Science Translational Medicine, is an early
step that allowed use of the device only
inside laboratories. Larger studies in real-
world conditions are required before the
device ever could be sold. And the tongue
piercing may be a turn-off for some poten-
tial users, the researchers acknowledge.
But the work is attracting attention from
specialists who say theres a big need for
more assistive technologies so they can
customize care for the severely disabled.
For people who have very limited abili-
ty to control a power wheelchair, there
arent that many options, said Dr. Brad
Dicianno, a rehabilitation specialist at the
University of Pittsburgh Medical Center
who wasnt involved with the new research.
There is some interesting promise for this
tongue control.
Heres how the system works: A headset
detects the tongues position when the user
icks that magnetic stud. Touch a spot on
the right bottom tooth to go right, for
example. The headset wirelessly beams that
information to a smartphone the user car-
ries. An app then sends the command to
move the wheelchair or the computer cursor.
Why the tongue? Its unobstrusive, easy
to use and exible, said Ghovanloo, a bio-
medical engineer who created the system
and has started a company that is working
with Georgia Tech to commercialize it.
Most people with spinal cord injuries
or neurologic diseases that also can para-
lyze still can move the tongue. It doesnt
require special concentration. The tongue is
pretty tireless. And the amount of real estate
the brains motor cortex dedicates to the
tongue and mouth rivals that of the ngers
and hand, offering multiple complex move-
ments, Ghovanloo said. He led the team of
researchers from Atlantas Shepherd Center
for spinal injuries, the Rehabilitation
Institute of Chicago and Northwestern
University.
DiSanto, an electrical engineer who
became paralyzed from the neck down in a
2009 diving accident, said the headset is
less intrusive than the sip-and-puff device
that he normally uses, which requires a
straw-like tube to be worn in front of his
face. More important, he said, the tongue
drive gave him more control, allowing him
to move diagonally, for example.
As for the piercing, there is some get-
ting used to it, said DiSanto, who got his
in 2011. It took about a week to heal, and
speaking and eating felt funny initially but
he got used to the sensation.
Its not for everyone. The current study
tested the device in 23 able-bodied partici-
pants and 11 paralyzed volunteers. By
studys end, all of the disabled volunteers
preferred the tongue system to their regular
assistive device, said co-author Joy Bruce,
who heads the Shepherd Centers spinal
cord injury lab.

An anti-deportation protester,center,in the audience shouts against Barack Obama,stopping
him temporarily from delivering remarks during an event on immigration reform.
By Alicia A. Caldwell
WASHINGTON Advocates are demand-
ing that President Barack Obama use his
powers as chief executive to stop deporta-
tions of more people among the estimated
11 million immigrants living here illegal-
l y. The president is obliging, but in a bit-
by-bit way that doesnt satisfy groups
frustrated by Republicans slow-walking
of immigration legislation in the House.
Obama last year acted on his own to halt
deportations for some young immigrants
living in the country illegally who arrived
as children. So far more than 550,000
young immigrants have been allowed to
stay under the program, which also lets the
immigrants get work permits good for two
years.
Republicans pushed a bill through the
House earlier this year to resume those
deportations, but the Senate never acted on
it and Obamas directive is still in place.
Still, the vote was a clear sign of
Republican opposition to what some law-
makers have called backdoor amnesty
through Obamas unilateral executive
actions.
Similar limited actions by the White
House have just whetted the appetite of
immigration advocates for more of them,
now that wide-ranging immigration legis-
lation that would offer eventual citizen-
ship to some immigrants living here ille-
gally is stalled in the House.
Executive order was the rallying cry of
hecklers at an Obama Democratic fundrais-
er Monday in San Francisco.
Stop deportations! Stop deportations!
audience members shouted at a separate
event after Obama was interrupted mid-
speech by a young man who said his fami-
ly has been separated for 19 months. Both
events underscored dissatisfaction with
the Democratic president, not only over
the stalled immigration overhaul but the
administrations policies.
Obama responded with a brief lesson on
the constitutional limits on his power.
If, in fact, I could solve all these prob-
lems without passing laws in Congress,
then I would do so, Obama told the first
group. But were also a nation of laws.
Thats part of our tradition. And so the
easy way out is to try to yell and pretend
like I can do something by violating our
laws.
Advocates press Obama
for fewer deportations
By Matthew Pennington
WASHINGTON While the Obama admin-
istration is making diplomatic progress on
some of the Mideasts thorniest security
issues, problems are piling up in Asia, a
region that President Barack Obama had want-
ed to play a bigger part in American foreign
policy.
Despite efforts to forge deeper ties with
China to make East Asia more stable,
Beijings declaration of a maritime air
defense zone has escalated its territorial dis-
pute with U.S. ally Japan. The U.S. respond-
ed by ying B-52 bombers through the zone
on a training mission Tuesday without
informing Beijing.
Analysts say the risk of a military clash
between the Asian powers has gone up a
notch a serious concern for the U.S.
because its treaty obligations mean it could
be drawn in to help Japan.
Meantime, relations between Americas
core allies in the region, Japan and South
Korea, have deteriorated. South Korea is bit-
ter over Japans attitude toward its colonial
past and wants more contrition from Tokyo
for Japans use of Korean sex slaves in World
War II.
That complicates the strategic picture for
the Obama administration as it looks to
advance its so-called pivot to Asia and
strengthen not just its own alliances, but get
its partners in the region to collaborate more.
The region is moving in a very problemat-
ic direction, said Evans Revere, a former sen-
ior U.S. diplomat and East Asia specialist.
Thats the result of territorial disputes, his-
torical issues, long-standing rivalries and the
inability of countries to put history behind
them and move forward in improving rela-
tions.
Adding to this witchesbrew of bickering in
the region, Washington is grappling with the
threat posed by an unpredictable North Korea.
The deal the U.S. orchestrated with Iran to
temporarily freeze its nuclear program,
despite three decades of animosity, is a stark
reminder of the impasse in negotiations with
Pyongyang.
Unlike Iran, North Korea already has a
nuclear bomb, and theres worrying evidence
it is pressing ahead with weapons develop-
ment.
Vice President Joe Biden will broach these
issues when he travels to Japan, China and
South Korea next week a trip to demon-
strate that the top level of the administration
remains focused on Asia.
The administration said that in Beijing,
Biden will meet with Chinese leaders includ-
ing President Xi Jinping and will voice con-
cern about what it calls an emerging pattern
of behavior by China that is unsettling to its
neighbors. The vice president will also make
clear the rm U.S. commitment to its allies
and its desire for a lowering of tensions
between China and Japan, the worlds second-
and third-largest economies.
Secretary of State John Kerry hasnt neg-
lected the region, but his primary focus is on
the Mideast and is likely to remain that way as
he strives for the distant goals of an end to
Syrias civil war, peace between Israelis and
Palestinians and a comprehensive nuclear
agreement with Iran after the current pact
expires in six months.

reached its current state of perfection, said
Takahashi, artistic director of PYB.
Takahashi began her career as dancer in
Japan and treasures putting on the tradition-
al Christmas show because its cross-cultur-
al, she said.
The Nutcracker is good for all ages, even
for those who dont care about the ballet.
Its a fun and easy story to understand.
Theres so many colorful and different coun-
tries and ethnic dances and characters,
Takahashi said.
Takahashi is thrilled to spotlight PYB at
the San Mateo Performing Arts Center after
its $28 million renovation. The three-story
acoustically precise center at the San Mateo
High School reopened in September.
Were the rst ballet performance in the
new theater so were very lucky. We waited
for a long time and its so beautiful there,
Takahashi said.
Takahashi also runs a ballet school, how-
ever, she said students and company per-
formers have to be chosen for a part in The
Nutcracker.
I think because they know its a public
show and not a recital, they have to perform
like a professional. They really disci-
pline themselves to be in good condition
by the show, Takahashi said.
The children have been diligently prepar-
ing for the show by eating healthy, getting
enough sleep and building strength through
rehearsals; but the most important thing to
becoming a skilled ballet dancer is passion,
Takahashi said.
They must enjoy it. I can tell; if their
eyes are sparkling, then they progress much
faster. They have to love it. Most of our
dancers really do, so Im glad because I
think theyre having a great time,
Takahashi said.
There are 60 dancers in the PYB company
and about 300 students as young as 4 years
old at the Ayako School of Ballet. PYB per-
formances provide students with an oppor-
tunity to learn from their peers.
The professionals are giving tips and
teaching at the same time, even in rehearsal
were very fortunate to have dancers who
are nice to the kids, Takahashi said.
The handful of professional dancers cho-
sen to perform with the PYB for The
Nutcracker are always surprised at the
amount of talent within the company,
Takahashi said. This year, her teaching
skills will truly shine as several of her for-
mer students have returned.
Its nice to hire former students as pro-
fessional dancers, Takahashi said. Its
nice to watch how [theyve] progressed
when they return to perform.
The PYB Nutcracker runs 2 p.m. Nov. 30,
Dec. 7 and Dec. 8. There is a 2 p.m. and 7
p.m. show on Dec. 1. Tickets range from
$45 to $75. For more information visit

Kemal and Ilker Kurt worked in various

opening his restaurant during the holiday
and providing a free meal. Now that they
have their own restaurant from which to

Kemal Kurt said.
We are very lucky to have a great busi-
ness. My kids go to a good school. Our
business is 99 percent regular customers and
we appreciate what we have and want to
share that with other people, Kemal Kurt
said.
Kemal Kurts children go to school next
to the St. Charles Parish in San Carlos.
After mentioning his familys plans at the
restaurant, hes received a lot of support and
people have volunteered to help in their
endeavor, Kemal Kurt said.
Kemal Kurt wanted to move to the United
States and open up his own restaurant since
he was young; he started washes dishes at
13 years old, became a chef when he was 16
and worked as a janitor at a private English
school so he could take classes, Kemal Kurt
said.
Now that hes been in the United States
for 20 years and his dreams have come true,
he feels fortunate to be able to provide one
of the simplest, yet most important things
he can offer; a warm meal and a social envi-
ronment, Kemal Kurt said.

WASHINGTON President Barack
Obama is continuing an annual family tra-
dition by helping to pack bags of food and
distribute them to the needy on
Thanksgiving eve.
Obama, his wife, Michelle, daughters
Malia and Sasha and his mother-in-law,
Marian Robinson, dropped in on the
Capital Area Food Bank, one of the largest
serving the Washington area.
They dropped bundles of sweet pota-
toes, onions, carrots and apples into
reusable bags people held open as they
walked by.
They also handed out small white boxes
stamped with the presidential seal that
contain M&Ms candy.
Obama wished people a Happy
Thanksgiving, and Malia shook their
hands.
Its the third straight Thanksgiving that
Obama and his family have helped out at
this particular food bank.

ROME Three-time former Premier
Silvio Berlusconi was ousted from
Parliament on Wednesday after two decades
as a lawmaker, deantly calling it a day of
mourning for democracy and pledging to
continue in politics.
After weeks of maneuvering, appeals and
even an attempt to bring down the govern-
ment, Berlusconis delay tactics ran their
course when the Senate voted to kick him out
of the chamber due to a tax fraud conviction.
Ever a populist, the 77-year-old billion-
aire chose the piazza over the Senate oor,
addressing a crowd of cheering supporters
outside his Roman palazzo as the vote was
under way just a short walk away.
We are here on a bitter day, a day of
mourning for democracy, Berlusconi
declared. He said his political enemies
including the judiciary he accuses of mount-
ing a campaign against him were toast-
ing his demise.
They are actually euphoric, he said.
Berlusconi pledged to remain in politics
effectively launching a campaign in
which he wont be able to stand for ofce
noting that other political leaders are not
lawmakers.
He cited Beppe Grillo, the former comic
and founder of the anti-establishment 5 Star
Movement, and Matteo Renzi, the Florence
mayor who is a Democratic Party star widely
tipped as a future premier candidate.
The Senate vote bars Berlusconi from run-
ning or holding ofce for at least six years
under a 2012 law applied to anyone sen-
tenced to more than two years in prison.
Berlusconi was sentenced to four years on
a tax fraud conviction relating to the pur-
chase of TV rights to U.S. lms on his
Mediaset network, charges he continues to
deny. The sentence was automatically reduced
to one year by a general amnesty, which he
will serve either under house arrest or doing
public service.
In the last election, Berlusconis now-
defunct and splintered People of Freedom
Party garnered 7.3 million votes, or 21.5
percent of the vote. Berlusconis charisma
remains compelling to many Italians despite
his ongoing judicial woes.
U.S. says its working with
Cuba to solve banking issue
HAVANA Washington said Wednesday
it is working with Cuba to nd a new bank
for its diplomatic accounts in the United
States, after a banking cutoff forced the
Caribbean nation to halt nearly all U.S.
consular services just ahead of the busy hol-
iday travel season.
The U.S. State Department said in an
emailed communique that the U.S. bank
which had handled Cubas accounts severed
the relationship due to a business deci-
sion, and that the government does not
have the power to interfere or order any
bank to handle a foreign missions account.
It added that Cubas situation is not
unique, saying the closure of embassy
accounts can hurt operations at other diplo-
matic outposts.
China says it monitored
defiant U.S. bomber flights
BEIJING China acknowledged
Wednesday it let two American B-52
bombers y unhindered through its newly
declared air defense zone in the East China
Sea despite its earlier threat to take defen-
sive measures against unidentied foreign
aircraft.
The U.S. flights, which tested the
Chinese zone for the rst time since it was
declared over the weekend, raised questions
about Beijings determination to enforce its
requirement that foreign aircraft identify
themselves and accept Chinese instruc-
tions.
Pakistani activists accuse
outed U.S. spy of murder
ISLAMABAD Rising anger over deadly
drone attacks spurred a Pakistani political
party Wednesday to reveal the secret identi-
ty of what it said was the top U.S. spy in the
country. It demanded he be tried for murder,
another blow to already jagged relations
between the two nations.
A pair of U.S. missile strikes in recent
weeks including one that killed the
Pakistani Talibans leader as the govern-
ment prepared to invite him to hold peace
talks has increased simmering tensions
between Washington and Islamabad after
years of public fury over the covert
attacks.
The apparent disclosure of the top CIA
ofcers name will almost certainly strain
the fragile diplomacy that the U.S. is rely-
ing upon to help negotiate an end to the
war in neighboring Afghanistan.

Big movers
By Steve Rothwell
NEW YORK Technology compa-
nies lifted the stock market Wednesday,
keeping major indexes at record levels.
Hewlett-Packard surged, leading the
gains for tech companies, after it post-
ed a $1.4 billion prot for its latest
quarter. The worlds second-largest
maker of PCs also issued a strong prof-
it forecast for its current quarter.
Stocks also got a boost from some
encouraging news about the U.S. econ-
omy.
In a sign that workers are in less dan-
ger of being laid off, the number of
Americans seeking unemployment
benefits dropped 10,000 last week to
a seasonally adjusted 316,000,
according to the U.S. Labor
Department. In another bit of good
news, consumer confidence rose in
November, according to a private sur-
vey by the University of Michigan
and financial data company Thomson
Reuters.
Todays economic news was gener-
ally favorable, said Terry Sandven,
chief equity strategist for U.S. Bank
Wealth Management. In the absence
of bad news, the path of least resist-
ance for equities is up.
The stock market has surged this year
on a combination of solid corporate
earnings, a slowly recovering econo-
my and easy-money policies from the
Federal Reserve. The Fed is buying $85
billion in bonds every month to keep
long-term interest rates low, making
stocks more attractive than bonds for
investors.
On Wednesday, the Standard & Poors
500 index climbed four points, or 0.3
percent, to close at an all-time high of
1,807.23.
The Dow Jones industrial average
rose 24 points, or 0.2 percent, to close
at its own record high of 16,097.33.
The blue-chip index nished higher for
a fth straight day, its longest winning
streak since March.
The Nasdaq composite advanced 27
points, or 0.7 percent, to 4,044.75.
The index closed above 4,000 for the
rst time in 13 years Tuesday.
The S&P 500 has risen 26.7 percent
this year, putting it on course for its
best annual performance since 1998.
Much of the gain has come because
investors have been willing to pay
more for a companys stock in relation
to its earnings.
The price-earnings ratio for S&P 500
companies has climbed to 15.1 from
12.6 at the start of the year. But it is
still below the average ratio of 16.5 for
the last 20 years.
When times are good, you have to
ask if its a sign that things are about to
become bad, said Art Steinmetz,
President & Chief Investment Ofcer at
Oppenheimer Funds. But Steinmetz
feels reasonably hopeful that stock
valuations are not overstretched.
In other corporate news, Analog
Devices fell $1.38, or 3 percent, to
$48.54 after the chipmaker reported
sales late Tuesday that missed Wall
Street estimates. The Norwood, Mass.,
company expects a seasonal slowdown
to hurt revenue during the holidays.
Trading volumes were lower than
average ahead of Thursdays
Thanksgiving holiday, when nancial
markets will be closed. The New York
Stock exchange and the Nasdaq will
also close early on Friday.
The yield on the 10-year Treasury
note rose to 2.74 percent, up from 2.71
percent on Tuesday.
The price of oil dropped to its lowest
level in six months as the U.S. govern-
ment reported the 10th straight weekly
increase in crude supplies. Oil dropped
$1.38, or 2 percent, to $92.30 a barrel.
Exxon Mobil and Chevron, both
members of the 30-company Dow,
declined. Exxon Mobil fell 47 cents, or
0.5 percent, to $93.80. Chevron fell
36 cents, or 0.4 percent, to $122.42.

Lower gas prices lifting
hopes for holiday sales
By Josh Oak
WASHINGTON No one begs Santa Claus for cheaper
gasoline. Yet falling gas prices are shaping up as an unex-
pected gift for drivers and for people on their holiday
shopping lists.
The average price of gasoline has tumbled 49 cents from its
peak this year to $3.29 a gallon, putting it on track for the
lowest average since 2010, according to AAA. Because many
Americans have had no pay raises, whatever money theyre
saving on gas has freed up a bit more for other purchases.
And history shows that when gas prices drop, consumers
become more likely to splurge on dinners out. Impulse buys
at the mall seem like less of a stretch. More people buy a gas-
station gift card after fueling up.
Many retail analysts have forecast a ho-hum sales gain of
around 2 percent this year; others predict an increase of up to
3.9 percent. But steadily cheaper gas could send holiday sales
shooting above 5.4 percent, analysts say.
Every little thing moves the needle at this point, said
Carl Riccadonna, senior U.S. economist at Deutsche Bank.
The benet at this time of the year certainly helps retailers,
since it is not spread evenly throughout the year.
Tom Kloza, chief oil analyst at the Oil Information
Service, foresees the average price drifting down, as it typi-
cally does this time of year, to as low as $3.05 by years end.
For retailers, the best-case scenario would be for the
national average to breach $3 a gallon, a psychological bar-
rier that could help accelerate spending.
Cheaper gas could help build on the momentum of 2 mil-
lion more Americans nding jobs this year. It might also
help shore up consumers fragile condence in an economic
recovery thats lumbered along for 4 1/2 years.
Riccadonna estimates that breaking $3 gas would lead the
average shopper to spend $47 more over the holidays. That
gure would translate into $15 billion worth of extra shop-
ping possibly the difference between lukewarm and red-
hot sales growth.

NEW YORK This holiday shop-
ping season, its Amazon vs. everyone
else.
The online giant has attracted cus-
tomers from big store chains like Wal-
Mart and Best Buy with low prices and
convenient shipping. Now, stores are
ghting to get customers back during
the busiest shopping period of the
year.
Stores are doing things like match-
ing the lower prices on Amazon.com
and offering the same discounts in
stores as on their websites. For its
part, Amazon is giving customers the
option to pick up items at physical
locations and adding Sunday delivery.
The two sides are dueling over shop-
pers like Jessica Danielle, a speech-
writer who plans to do the bulk of her
Christmas shopping on Amazon. All
the time spent going to brick-and-
mortar stores, is it worth my time?
said Danielle, 31, who lives in
Washington, D.C. I dont think so.
Theres a lot at stake for both sides.
Amazon has built a following, but
wants to grow its business globally.
Meanwhile, brick-and-mortar retailers
struggle to keep shoppers from using
their stores as showrooms to test out
and try on items before buying them
for less on Amazon.
The holiday season ups the ante.
Both online and brick-and-mortar
retailers can make up to 40 percent of
their annual revenue in November and
December. And this year, theyre com-
peting for the growing number of
shoppers who are as comfortable buy-
ing online as in stores.
Holiday sales are expected to rise 3.9
percent to $602.1 billion, according
to The National Retail Federation. Of
that, about $78.7 billion is expected
to be online, up 15 percent from last
year, according to Forrester Research.
Battle for holiday shoppers heats up
By Joseph Pisani
NEWYORK Want to check your
credit score? It might be included on
your next credit card statement.
The FICO score, which is widely used
by lenders to gauge your financial
health, should be checked before
applying for a car loan or a mortgage.
But it can cost as much as $20 to do so.
Now three credit card issuers
Discover, Barclaycard US and First
Bankcard have signed up to allow
some 35 million cardholders to check
their FICO scores every month at no
cost. Besides those three credit card
companies, more lenders are expected
to sign up.
I think its fantastic, says Ted
Sarenski, a certied public accountant
and nancial planner at Blue Ocean
Strategic Capital. People should be
watching that score and asking how
they could improve it.
The move is an initiative by Fair
Isaac Corp., the company that devel-
oped the FICO score, to enable more
people to see their score for free and
get its brand in front of consumers. It
comes after websites, such as
Credit.com, CreditSesame.com and
CreditKarma.com, have offered free
credit scores for years. Those scores
are derived differently from FICOs, but
offer a similar three-digit score.
The FICO score ranges from 300 to
850. The higher the score the better.
People with higher scores are offered
lower interest rates from lenders and
credit card companies. Most lenders
pay Fair Isaac to see the scores of
potential borrowers when determining
if they will approve an application.
What has changed is that Fair Issac has
agreed to let some lenders share the
scores with customers. Its not charg-
ing the lenders more to do so.

Chiney Ogwumike led the
Cardinal (6-1) with 27 points
and 13 rebounds. Mikaela Ruef
added 14 points and 12
rebounds. Both were on the team
when VanDerveer won No. 800

We played really well because
we not only wanted to play well,

She said in the locker room that
anytime shell think about her
900th win shell think about
how well we played. Glad we
made her proud. Shes a very

put a smile on her face.
VanDerveer is 748-153 at

SANTA CLARA Just as the
passing game has started to click
for the San Francisco 49ers at last,
here comes Michael Crabtree.
The teams top wide receiver
from 2012 is back on the active
roster six months after Achilles
tendon surgery and poised to make
his season debut Sunday against
St. Louis if all goes as hoped dur-
ing practice this week.
Theres things he does that hes
the best in football at, and that
certainly bodes well for us and
were excited about it, coach Jim
Harbaugh said Wednesday.
Catching the ball, theres routes
that he runs, tackles he breaks,
plays that he makes. Theres evi-
dence there.
Adding Crabtree to the mix for
the 49ers (7-4) would provide a big
boost to a receiving corps that
made signicant strides in a 27-6
win at Washington on Monday
night. Crabtree became Colin
Kaepernicks top target last year
and had career bests of 85 recep-
tions for 1,105 yards and nine
touchdowns.
Im good, Crabtree said but he
wouldnt elaborate. He was acti-
vated from the physically unable
to perform list Tuesday to the 53-
man active roster.
Harbaugh wont tip his hand too
early in the week, while also not-
ing that everything depends on

Raiders need the same short mem-

The Cowboys have to move on
from a last-play win over the New
York Giants to stay in position to
end a three-year playoff drought.
The Raiders must forget a last-
minute loss to Tennessee that dam-
aged hopes for their rst postsea-
son trip since 2002.
Maybe being a short week you
just know you cant think about
it, said quarterback Tony Romo,
who has directed winning fourth-

Dallas victories. I mean really,
this game comes so fast youre
immersed in the study and just

Mavericks hold off Golden State 103-99
Thornton lifts Sharks over Kings
DALLAS Dirk Nowitzki scored 22
points to offset a rough night for playmak-
ing partner Monta Ellis, and the Dallas
Mavericks held off a late charge from
Golden State for a 103-99 victory over the
Warriors on Wednesday night.
Nowitzki was 11 of 19 from the eld and
added three assists and matched the team
high with two steals.
Ellis finished with a season-low four
points on 2-of-16 shooting, but he had 10
assists, including one to get Samuel
Dalembert a dunk and push Dallas dwin-
dling lead to six at 101-95 with 1:21
remaining.
Stephen Curry led Golden State with 29
points as the Warriors stayed close a night
after a tough one-point win in New Orleans.
Klay Thompson and David Lee had 20
points each, while Lee had 12 rebounds and
Thompson 10 boards.
The Warriors rallied from 17 down midway
through the fourth quarter, but never got
closer than four. Thompson shot an air ball
on a 3-point attempt in one trip, and
Dalembert blocked a shot from long range
by Draymond Green with 9.4 seconds left.
Golden State kept the ball after the block,
but the Warriors missed twice in a mad
scramble to the nal buzzer.
With Ellis game off the mark, rookie
point guard Shane Larkin gave Dallas a
spark off the bench. The biggest boost was
a running shot off one foot just before the
third-quarter buzzer that put Dallas up by 11.
Dallas coach Rick Carlisle broke his rota-
tion and put Larkin back in to try to stem a
Golden State rally late in the fourth. He n-
ished with seven points and six assists.
The Mavericks were in control at 99-82
with about 5 minutes left when the Warriors
ran off 13 straight points to make it close.
Thompson started the run with a 3-point-
er, and it really got going when DeJuan
Blair was called for a foul in the backcourt
and Ellis was given a technical for an out-
burst after the whistle.
Curry hit the free throw, Thompson hit
another from long range and Curry dribbled
between two defenders coming off a screen
and hit the jumper to get the Warriors with-
in 99-95.
Thompson had a chance to make it a one-
point lead, but shot an air ball on a 3-point
attempt from the right wing.
The Warriors were down six in the third
when Larkin and Blair started a 12-1 run
with one of several tag-team plays a
short bank shot from Blair on a feed from
Larkin. Blair had 11 points and nine
rebounds, including seven offensive
boards.
Larkin and Draymond Green collided chas-
ing a loose ball on Golden States end, and
Jae Crowder ended up with the ball and a
three-point play after he was fouled on a
layup by Nemanja Nedovic.
Dallas Wayne Ellington matched his sea-
son high in the rst half with six points,
including a soaring one-handed dunk on a
backdoor cut to give the Mavericks their
biggest lead at 47-31 midway through the
second quarter.
NOTES: A night after getting season
highs in points, rebounds and minutes in
his rst start, Warriors F Jermaine ONeal
had six points and seven rebounds. ...
Warriors C Andrew Bogut returned from a
one-game suspension for his role in a scuf-
e with Portland and had eight points and
10 boards. ... A fan swished a half-court
shot to win a 70-inch TV.

SAN FRANCISCO Cole Dickerson
scored a game-high 23 points to lead four
players in double digits as San Francisco
defeated Division II Sonoma State 96-73 to
open the Golden Gate Challenge tourna-
ment on Wednesday night.
Dickerson was 8 of 10 from the eld and
hit 2 of 2 3-pointers. He also led the Dons
(4-3) in rebounds with 10. Tim Derksen had
19 points, including a pair of 3-pointers,
Matt Glover had 16 points and four

SAN JOSE Joe Thornton scored his rst
shootout goal since 2007 in the eighth
round and the San Jose Sharks beat the Los
Angeles Kings 3-2 Wednesday night to
extend the home-team dominance in this
California rivalry.
Thornton and Joe Pavelski scored in regu-
lation for the Sharks, who have won nine
straight at home against the Kings includ-
ing the postseason. In all, the home team
has won the last 14 matchups, including all
seven in last springs playoff series won by
Los Angeles.
Jeff Carter and Drew Doughty scored for
the Kings, who tied a franchise record by
earning a point in their 11th straight game.
They also did that in 1973-74 and 2010-11.
Ben Scrivens made 38 saves.
After each team scored three times in the
rst seven rounds, Thornton got his rst
shootout attempt since the 2009-10 season
and stuffed a backhand past Scrivens. It was
his rst shootout goal since Dec. 16 2007,
against Anaheim.
Antti Niemi then stopped Tyler Toffoli to
seal it. Niemi made 38 saves as San Jose
opened a difcult stretch of three games in
four days against top-ve teams with a win.
The game was played with the high inten-
sity expected from two erce rivals with a
recent playoff history who are at the top of
their games. These teams have met twice in
the past three postseasons, with each win-
ning once, including Los Angeles triumph
in the second round last spring.
Each beneted from a uky goal, with San
Jose taking a 2-1 lead late in the second
period when Thornton took the puck from
Willie Mitchell behind the net and then
Scrivens kicked in a loose puck.
The Kings got the fortunate bounce early
in the third to tie the game when Doughtys
centering pass hit defenseman Scott
Hannans skate and deected past Niemi for
the equalizer.

how Crabtree gets through practice.
Good meetings this morning. Good ses-
sions there. Bright-eyed and ready to go,
Harbaugh said before the team practiced
Wednesday. Optimistic like I said the other
day. Hope for the best and well have a plan
if hes not able to go. Its pretty much that
simple.
Mario Manningham continues to impress
playing opposite Anquan Boldin after three
games back following knee surgery last
year. Manningham hopes his unit can build
off a strong performance and develop some
consistency.
Weve just got to do it every week. We
cant be inconsistent, Manningham said.
Weve got to come out like that every
week.
Manningham and tight end Vernon Davis
each made four catches at Washington,
while Boldin had ve receptions and a pair
of touchdowns.
Now, if Crabtree is back in the mix,
defenses will have a harder time double-
teaming Davis downeld.
It will be great to have Crab back. Hes a
great talent, left tackle Joe Staley said.
Everybody knows what he can do and is
excited to see him back out there. I know
hes excited to get back out there, the way he
competes and all the hard work hes put in to
get back.
Kaepernick isnt ready to guess whether
he might be throwing passes Crabtrees way
again this weekend.
Thats going to be his call 100 percent,
Kaepernick said.
Crabtree has made steady progress back
from his injury. He tore his right Achilles
tendon during 7-on-7 drills in an organized
team activity May 21 then had surgery. The
NFC champion Niners said from the begin-
ning they thought he would return this sea-
son after Crabtree was a huge reason the
franchise reached the Super Bowl again for
the rst time in 18 years.
Rams coach Jeff Fisher is preparing his
defense as if Crabtree will be on the eld,
and prepare for a variety of ways Crabtree
might be utilized. He noted its hard for us
to predict.
It gives them an additional weapon.
Michaels an outstanding player. Hope he
might wait another week, Fisher said.
Were expecting him to play. You go back
and look before the injury and what he did
for them, and were familiar with that.

SANTA CLARA San Francisco safety
Donte Whitner is challenging Drew Brees to
come beat the 49ers fair and square and
Whitner hopes that happens in a playoff
date in January.
Whitner is still irked
that ofcials called line-
backer Ahmad Brooks for
a personal foul on Brees
late in a 23-20 loss at
New Orleans on Nov. 17,
and on Wednesday he
called for the NFL to take
a stand on replay for
some illegal hit penal-
ties.
We look at him as being one of the
greats, but come and beat us, come and win a
football game, dont take that one,
Whitner said Wednesday. They didnt earn
that football game. We felt like we had an
opportunity to win it, we felt like we out-
played them and we felt like we should have
won. Hopefully, well see them again. ...
Drew Brees and those guys are over there
celebrating. We kind of have a formula
against those guys and hopefully well see
them again in the playoffs.
What would have been a lost fumble
instead kept the ball in the Saints posses-
sion, and they soon kicked two late eld
goals to win the game.
Brooks, who has repeatedly denied any
wrongdoing on the play, was ned $15,570
by the league last week and appealed.
Whitner insists Brees cant take a hit
and that the call cost his team the game.
I knew it was going to cost us a game at
some point. And its going to cost another
team a game when it really matters,
Whitner said. And it might be the playoffs.
It could be the Super Bowl. We really need to
get something done about that replay,
something so it doesnt cost us football
games. Because we really deserved to win
that game.
Brees, whose chin was bloodied when
Brooks clobbered him, called it a clothes-
line tackle. Brees was unavailable to
respond to Whitners remarks Wednesday as
the Saints were off.
Were out there working for nothing.
Theres no explanation, Whitner said.
Theres nobody to actually sit down and
tell you whats right and whats wrong. Its
like, OK, take this ne. And then you take
this ne and thats it. So thats not right
because he did everything that he was sup-
posed to do. Its not his fault that Drew
Brees is a little guy and cant really take a
hit.
Asked to clarify, Whitner said, Im not
questioning his toughness (but) his
stature.
Whitner said he believes he won his
appeal of a $21,000 ne for a hit in the end
zone on Rams wideout Chris Givens with
just less than six minutes remaining in a 35-
11 Week 4 win at St. Louis. He would just
like to hear a formal answer from the NFL,
which has yet to take his money.
I did everything correct. I actually felt
like I put myself in harms way, turning my
neck and not really doing what Im sup-
posed to do, Whitner said.

Brees cant take a hit

At the beginning, VanDerveer sent letters to the top 20
college programs in the country. She wound up at Ohio
State as a volunteer coach of the junior varsity team. Those
Buckeyes went 8-0, which she counts as one of her two

There have been many more winning teams since, though
the Cardinal havent captured a national championship

U.S. soccer tabs Altidore, Wambach AOYs
CHICAGO Jozy Altidore and Abby Wambach were
honored as the mens and womens athletes of the year by
U.S. soccer.
The mens Athlete of the Year honor is the rst for
Altidore. He becomes the 22nd player to earn the award
since its inception in 1984.
Altidore set a U.S. mens national team record by scoring
a goal in ve consecutive matches from June 2 to Aug. 14. a workers union in Sao Paulo were
demanding an investigation into con-
ditions at the venue, saying work
shouldnt resume until authorities
deem the stadium safe.
Ricardo Trade, CEO of the local
World Cup organizing committee, said
authorities would determine if there is
a need to suspend construction.
There are seven months till the
World Cup, not 10 days, so I dont
believe this is going to cause delays.
But there is absolutely no guarantee
on this, Trade said in a telephone
interview.
The accident could lead to recrimina-
tions between local organizers and
world soccers organization FIFA,
which has set a December deadline for
all 12 World Cup stadiums to be ready.
The tournament begins June 12.
I dont want to know about FIFA
right now; we are worried about the
families of the victims, said Andres
Sanchez, former president of the Sao
Paulo soccer club Corinthians, which
is building the stadium. The club said
workers will not return before a three-
day mourning period.
The stadium was nearly finished
before the collapse, which occurred
when a construction crane crashed into
a 500-ton metal structure. That struc-
ture then cut through the outer walls of
the venue, destroying part of the out-
side of the building and slamming into
a giant LED panel that runs across the
stadiums facade.
Sanchez said it appeared the struc-
ture of the stadium was not compro-
mised, meaning there should be
enough time to recover before the
World Cup.
Structurally very little was affect-
ed, he said.
Six stadiums have already been
declared ready for the games. But
Brazil is racing against time to deliver
the other six, and there is particular
concern that the stadiums in Cuiaba,
Manaus and Curitiba may not be ready
by the end of December.
FIFAhas said it would not accept the
same delays that plagued stadium con-
struction before soccers
Confederations Cup earlier this year,
for which only two stadiums were
ready on time.
STADIUM
He then put the Raiders in position
to beat the Titans with a fourth-quarter
drive that Tennessee answered on a TD
with 10 seconds remaining for a 23-
19 win.
The rookie from Penn State got his
chance after Terrelle Pryor injured a
knee, and now coach Dennis Allen
isnt hesitating to call him the
starter.
Its never been too big for Matt,
Allen said. Last week it wasnt
always pretty early in the game, but
in the second half he really got going
in the passing game. Everybodys
told him he cant do it, but hes con-
tinued to prove people wrong and so
far hes been able to do that in the two
starts hes had.
A few things to consider as the
Cowboys meet the Raiders for a sec-
ond straight time on Thanksgiving.
Dallas won the last meeting 24-7 in
2009.
DUAL HOMECOMING: Allen,
the youngest head coach in the
league, is coming home, and so are
the Cowboys. For Allen, that means
coaching in front of family and
friends just a few miles from where he
grew up (suburb of Hurst) and played
high school football (L.D. Bell).
Allen also was a graduate assistant at
Texas A&M, where he played safety.
Itll be fun, he said. Unfortunately,
we dont get a lot of time to hang out
and visit. I wont be having
Thanksgiving dinner with the family.
Ill be in, get the job done and then
get back out.
For the Cowboys, it means playing
at their $1.2 billion stadium for just
the second time in seven weeks.
They had four road games and a bye
in that span.
POSTSEASON PICTURE: The
Cowboys (6-5) are tied with
Philadelphia atop the NFC East lead
and created some separation for the
division leaders with last weeks 24-
21 win over the Giants.
Dallas has played winner-take-all
finales against division rivals the
past two seasons, and the possibility
looms again with the Eagles visiting
to wrap up the regular season.
The Raiders (4-7) are last in the AFC
West and have virtually no chance to
win the division, but a wild-card berth
isnt unrealistic if they get on a roll.

All day shopping frenzy on Thanksgiving?
By Anne DInnocenzio
NEWYORK Last Thanksgiving Day, Kimberly Mudge
Vias mother, sister and nieces left in the middle of their
meals to head for the mall.
Now, Via says shell never host Thanksgiving dinner for
her relatives again.
They barely nished, says the 28-year-old who lives in
Boone, N.C. They thanked me and left their plates on the
counter.
That scene could become more common in homes across
the country. Black Friday shopping, the annual rite of pas-
sage on the day after Thanksgiving, continues to creep fur-
ther into the holiday as more stores open their doors a day
early.
Its a break with tradition. Black Friday, which typically
is the years biggest shopping day, for a decade has been
considered the ofcial start to the busy holiday buying sea-
son. Stores open in the wee hours of the morning with spe-
cial deals called doorbusters and stay open late into the
evening. Meanwhile, Thanksgiving and Christmas
remained the only two days a year that stores were closed.
Now Thanksgiving is slowly becoming just another
shopping day. Over the past few years, major retailers,
including Target and Toys R Us, slowly have pushed open-
ing times into Thanksgiving night to one-up each other and
compete for holiday dollars. Some initially resisted, saying
that they wanted their employees to be able to spend time
with their families.
This year, more than a dozen major retailers are opening
on Thanksgiving, including a handful like Macys, J.C.
Penney and Staples that are doing it for the rst time. The
Gap, which operates its Old Navy, Gap and Banana
Republic, is opening half of its stores on Thanksgiving
morning.
Roger Beahm, professor of marketing at the Wake Forest
University School of Business in Winston-Salem, N.C.,
expects that its just a matter of time he estimates ve
years before most chains open all day on Thanksgiving.
As for Christmas, he says that day is still sacred among
shoppers.
The oodgates have opened, Beahm says. People will
turn Thanksgiving Day shopping into a tradition as they
historically have on the day after Thanksgiving ... And
stores dont want to be left behind.
Indeed, retailers say theyre just doing what shoppers
want. And they know that opening earlier gives them a
chance to be the rst to grab shoppers dollars. Thats an
important opportunity for chains, which can make up to 40
percent of their annual revenue during the last two months
of the year.
But so far, its unclear whether opening on Thanksgiving
boosts retailers top line or simply pushes forward sales
from Friday. Last year, it was the latter: Sales on
Thanksgiving were $810 million last year, an increase of
55 percent from the previous year as more stores opened on
the holiday, according to Chicago research firm
ShopperTrak.
But business dropped 1.8 percent to $11.2 billion on

Black Friday, though it still was the biggest
shopping day last year. That day accounted
for about 4.3 percent of holiday sales last
year.
Customers clearly showed that they
wanted to be out shopping much earlier on
Thanksgiving, Amy von Walter, a spokes-
woman for Best Buy, which moved up its
opening this year to 6 p.m. on
Thanksgiving from midnight on Black
Friday in 2012. Our plan this holiday is a
direct result of that feedback.
To be sure, the issue is divisive among
shoppers. Some believe that the holiday
should remain sacred and that store employ-
ees should not have to work. Some even
have threatened on retailers Facebook
pages that they will boycott stores that
open on Thanksgiving.
Jennifer Gillis, 49, refused to shop during
the holidays at Sears and Kmart last year
because she believes Thanksgiving should
not be commercialized. This year, shes
adding Macys to the list.
I think its turning into a day of greed
for shoppers and stores, Gillis, who lives
in Hawaii, says.
Given the controversy, opening on
Thanksgiving can be a difcult decision for
retailers to make.
For instance, last year, Macys and J.C.
Penney didnt open on Thanksgiving
evening as competitors did. Both chains
say they wanted to honor their workers
time with their families. But this year, they
changed their tune.
Tony Bartlett, executive vice president of
Penneys stores, says the company decided
to open at 8 p.m. on Thanksgiving this year
because of customer feedback. He also says
Penney store employees wanted to open on
Thanksgiving so they could get the chance
to better compete with rivals.
Obviously, we were one of the last to
open, last year, says Bartlett, referring to
the chains 6 a.m. opening in 2012. But he
says this year, Were all in.
Not every store is opening on turkey day,
though. A couple of retailers even put out
statements specifically noting that they
wont be opening on Thanksgiving so that
their employees wont have to work.
We believe it is important for our team
members to be able to spend this time with
their loved ones, Travis Smith, CEO and
president of Jo Ann Fabric and Craft Stores,
says in a statement. The retailer plans to
open at 6 a.m. on Black Friday.
B.J.s Wholesale Club also says it will
not open on Thanksgiving. Once again,
BJs is bucking the trend of putting sales on
Thanksgiving above family time, BJs
says in a statement in which it announced
that it would open stores at 7 a.m. on Black
Friday.

Most gardeners are keenly aware of the
seasons rst hard frost.
I live at the base of small hill, and since
cold air sinks, my garden is inevitably one
of the rst in the area to get hit with frost.
For me, that rst foray out into a garden
blanketed in white crystals is a bit eerie.
Frost only settles when the air is still, and
frosted plants seem to exist in a state of sus-
pended animation.
At rst glance they show no signs any
damage has occurred. Tender leaves held in
place by a thin veil of ice crystals look as if
they had been lightly sprinkled with con-
fectioners sugar.
Once the sun is high enough in the sky to
melt the frost, a different picture emerges.
Slowly the same plants that were standing
upright moments before begin to sag.
Leaves change from green to pale olive
brown, or sometimes black, and it is clear
in an instant that the growing season is
over.
I admit, I am usually saddened at the rst
hard frost, but once I am done cleaning up
the aftermath I am over it and ready to think
ahead to winter.
The rst frost acts as a real wake-up call
for me from a gardening perspective. It
reminds me that it is time to get the last of
my fall chores completed before the snow
ies.
One of the rst things I do after a hard
frost is prepare my dahlias for winter stor-
age. Dahlias form tubers just beneath the
soil, much like potatoes. These tubers can
be dug up and easily stored over the winter
in a cool but frost-free location. They can
be planted out in the garden again next
spring, to put on another command per-
formance.
Digging dahlias is easy, but is best done
after a hard frost has killed the top of the
plant. Start by cutting off the plants main
stem, but leave about 4 to 6 inches above
the soil line.
Next, carefully dig around the plants
roots lifting them out of the ground in one
entire clump. I use a long-handled garden
fork with thick tines for this chore. Some
people prefer a spade, but experience has
taught me that runs the risk of cutting
through the tubers.
Next, I label the clumps before I forget
which plants are which. I have several beds
of dahlias, and I have learned that not label-
ing tubers when they come out of the ground
leads to a lot of head scratching about which
colors are which when it comes time to
replant in the spring.
I have stored my dahlias many different
ways over the years. I used to shake off all
the soil clinging to the tubers as I dug them,
let them dry in the sun and then packed them
away in vermiculite for the winter.
Several years ago, I tried a different
method with better results. I now lift the
tubers out of the ground but dont shake off
any of the soil.
Next, I set the clumps on top of the gar-
den for several days until the soil around the
root ball has hardened and is dry. Be sure to
check your local forecast prior to digging to
make sure you will have a few days in a row
without rain.
Once the clumps are dry, I place them into
milk crates lined with plastic garbage bags
and stack the crates in my basement where
the temperature is about 50 degrees. The
plastic bags prevent any crumbling dirt
from slipping through the walls of the milk
crate and making a mess of the basement
oor.
I keep the tops of the crates open for good
air circulation. The dried soil provides a nat-
ural barrier for the tubers, preventing them
from drying out over the winter.
Other garden favorites, such as cannas,
gladiola bulbs and oxalis pips, can be
stored the same way, but be sure the soil
around the roots is thoroughly dry before
storing.
Frost signals that its time to store the dahlias
After the rst frost, its time to dig and store dahlias for winter.

The small business marketplace,
also called SHOP, was supposed to
provide employers a new way to shop
for coverage. The website was to
make comparison shopping easier
while promoting competition and
keeping premiums down. The delay,
which doesnt affect states running
their own marketplaces, was met with
frustration.
Its disappointing that the online
portion of the federal small business
marketplace through Healthcare.gov
will be delayed, and its important it
get up and running as soon as possi-
ble, said John Arensmeyer, CEO of
Small Business Majority, an advoca-
cy group that supports the health care
law. However, it doesnt change the
fact that the marketplace can offer the
most competitive combination of
price and quality for small businesses
purchasing health insurance.
The National Retail Federation,
which has been working to ease the
laws requirements for its members,
was less generous.
If the law is so burdensome for the
administration to implement, just
think how hard it is for small busi-
nesses, which are focused on growing
a company, hiring new employees
and assisting customers, said Neil
Trautwein, the groups top health
policy official, in a statement.
Ohios insurance director, Mary
Taylor, a Republican who is also lieu-
tenant governor, said in a written
statement that the delay adds to the
struggles of small businesses and
only further complicates an already
chaotic insurance market.
Small businesses buying coverage
will still be eligible for tax credits
to bring down the cost, according to
the administration. Starting next
year, small businesses can claim a
credit of up to 50 percent of their
contributions to premiums for insur-
ance purchased through the SHOP,
and the administration is telling
business owners that buying market-
place plans through brokers, agents
and insurers will count for that tax
credit.
Wednesdays setback was the latest
in a stream of missed deadlines,
including a postponement for a
Spanish-language sign-up tool
announced this week. The administra-
tion also recently pushed back the
enrollment deadline for individuals:
People who sign up by Dec. 23 can
get coverage that starts on Jan. 1. In
an earlier delay, businesses with more
than 50 workers were given until
2015 to meet the requirement to pro-
vide health insurance without paying
a penalty. And the deadline date for
individuals to avoid penalties for
failing to get coverage was pushed
back six weeks.
Last week, the administration also
announced a schedule change in next
years open enrollment season. It
will start on Nov. 15, 2014, a month
later than originally scheduled, and
finish on Jan. 15, 2015, about five
weeks later than originally sched-
uled. The midterm congressional
elections are Nov. 4, and congres-
sional Republicans accused the
administration of shifting the dates
for political reasons, to hide any
spike in 2015 premiums.
The administration earlier had
announced it will allow insurance
companies to extend for another year
coverage under individual policies
that dont meet new coverage require-
ments. That move was a response to
anger over a wave of more than 4 mil-
lion policy cancellations.
The series of delays was seized
upon by Rep. Sam Graves, R-Mo.,
chairman of the House Small
Business Committee.
In the midst of the angst and
uncertainty that small businesses and
Americans feel about Obamacare,
todays news of yet another last-
minute delay is just more proof that
the law is unworkable and bad for
small businesses, Graves said in a
statement.
DELAYS
raphy possession. In return, prosecu-
tors dropped a charge of kidnapping
for sexual molestation purposes which
carries a seven years to life term and
agreed to a straight sentence of 27
years and four months in prison.
Mrozek will also have to register as
a sex offender and submit to AIDS test-
ing. He will be formally sentenced
Jan. 8 after the court receives a report
on his likelihood to reoffend.
The deal came just ahead of Mrozeks
scheduled Dec. 2 jury trial on the orig-
inal charges of committing a sexual
act with a child under 10, kidnapping,
assault and trespassing on school
grounds in the original case plus
felony charges of burglary and
attempted possession of child pornog-
raphy and four misdemeanor counts
each of child annoyance and disorderly
conduct involving loitering at a rest-
room in the Daly City incident. He is
also charged with child annoyance and
offering alcohol to a minor for
allegedly harassing four preteens the
same day prosecutors say he took the
girl from Parkside Elementary School
in San Mateo.
Prosecutors say Mrozek groped the
girl and covered her mouth with his
hand before carting her off campus just
before 2:45 p.m. Sept. 21, 2012. A
short distance away, the girl escaped
by kicking her attacker and throwing a
rock at him before running back to the
school where she reported the inci-
dent, according to San Mateo police.
Mrozek is also accused of offering
vodka to two 12-year-old boys; ver-
bally harassing two girls at Bayside
STEM Academy; and was escorted off
the Horrall Elementary School campus
by a suspicious administrator. Both
schools are in San Mateo.
After reading of Mrozeks arrest, an
official at George Washington
Elementary School in Daly City con-
tacted authorities about a March 2012
incident in which four 9-year-old girls
reported seeing a ash from under the
bathroom stall as they used the facili-
ties. The girls fetched a teacher who
tried forcing the man from the stall. He
nally ran from the bathroom and ed.
Prosecutors removed the one kidnap-
ping charge from the case as part of the
plea deal and because of proof issues
based on inconsistencies from the vic-
tim, said District Attorney Steve
Wagstaffe.
Mrozek remains in custody without
bail pending sentencing.
But while Mrozeks criminal case is
essentially settled, his legal battles
are not. The family of the girl are suing
Mrozek and the San Mateo-Foster City
School District for battery, sexual bat-
tery, child abuse, dangerous condition
on public property, emotional distress
and negligent supervision. Prior to the
lawsuit, the school district denied a
similar claim from the family in April.
After grabbing the girl from the
school bathroom and taking her to a
nearby residence on Taylor Street
where he assaulted her, Mrozek told her
he would badly hurt her, according to
the lawsuit.
The suit argues the school district
knew or should have known Parkside
was an open campus with no complete
fencing and that what fences and gat-
ing it had was in need of repair. The
district should also have known the
school had no buddy system or other
safety system in place for students
going to the bathroom, the suit stated.
