PORTLAND, Ore. — Oregon andWashington have joinedCalifornia in delaying the start of their commercial crab seasonsafter dangerous toxin levels werefound in the crabs.

Officials say elevated levels of domoic acid were found in crabs inall three states. The toxin is natu-rally produced by microscopic

algae in t he Pacific Ocean, but themassive bl oom of alg ae caused bywarming ocean conditions thisyear has led to more toxins pro-duced and consumed by shellfish.

California had already delayed

the Nov. 15 start of its seaso n afterfinding dangerous levels of thetoxin.

Oregon on Friday delayed theDec. 1 start along its entire coast,after testing in recent weeksshowed higher toxin levels in thesouthern half of the state. OregonDepartment of Fish and Wildlifeofficials said delay of the seasonwill allow completion of addition-al testing to make sure toxin lev-

els are safe.And in Washington, officials on

Friday also said they’re delayingthe season along parts of the coast

When middle school studentsfrom the North Central neighbor-hood in San Mateo began fallingbehind their peers in math, ratherthan s tand aside and watch, a mot i-vated group of community mem-bers jumped to actio n.

The result of those efforts is anafter-school math tutoring pro-gram held three times at week atthe St. James AME Zion church i nSan Mateo, where nearly 50 stu-

dents receive lessons supplement-ing the math courses they take atschool, said the Rev. MarlynBussey, who founded the p rogram.

Bussey said the tutoring servicewas born from a need identified ina study from the Silicon ValleyCommunity Foundation whichfound a disproportionate amountof bl ack students from local under-privileged communities enteredhigh school without an adequateproficiency in mathematics.

As someone apt to take action toaddress needs in her community,Bussey said she formed a founda-tion through the church in 2013which aimed to improve the mathskil ls of st udents who needed addi-

tional lessons.“Our ultimate goal is to work

with students so they are ready tosuccessfully take alg ebra or geom-

etry in the ninth-grade,” she said.The tutoring program offers

about three hours of tutoring eachweek, plus a dinner, to studentsranging between fifth- and eighth-grade for no charge.

Teachers from high schoolsthroughout San Mateo County leadthe sessions, which are based on aspecialized curriculum designed toaddress the new style of mathlearning introduced underCommon Core standards, saidBussey.

The tutoring is already begin-

ning to pay dividends, saidBussey, as three of the four pro-

Police reports

Rest assuredSomebody was seen possibly passedout in a FedEx vehicle at Genentech onEast Grand Avenue in South SanFrancisco before 7:14 p.m. Saturday,Nov. 1 4.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT

A home built in 1916 in Redwood Citywas deemed historic by the City Councilwhich will give the owners up to a 60 per-cent break on their annual property tax bill.

The home at 2302 Hopkins Ave. justsouth o f Whipple Avenue was h onored withthe distinction based on its builder and dis-tincti ve architectural features.

The home embodies classic elements of the Craftsman bungalow sty le and was builtby the George H. Irving Company, thedevelop er of t he Redwood Highlan ds subdi-vision, one of the city’s earliest and mostprominent subdivisions, Associate PlannerSeth Adams wrote in a report to co uncil.

The council vo ted 5-0 at its Nov. 16 meet-ing to designate the home a historic land-mark with councilwomen Rosanne Foustand Diane Howard absent.

The four-bedroom home was last sold in2013 for $1.25 million, according toRedfin.

The historic designation allows the own-

ers to enter into a 10-year Mills Act con-tract, which requires that property tax sav-ings go toward long-term maintenance of aproperty.

To date, the city has granted 24 Mil ls Actcontracts, according to Adams’ report.

“Preserving our history is really great,”Councilwoman Barbara Pierce said, accord-ing to a video of the meeting.

Pierce suggested that the designationmight also open the home up for tours.

The initial Mills contract includes a 10-year schedule of proposed maintenance andimprovements.

Deteriorated rafters on the front porchwill be required to be fixed in 2017, forinstance.

City staff is unaware of how many other

homes in th e city that might be designated

as histo ric although the minimum thresholdis th at it be at least 5 0 years old, Adams toldthe council.

The city will lose approximately $1,2 00annually in property taxes from the home,according to Adams’ report.

Earlier this month, the John OffermanHouse and John Dielmann House at 1018and 1020 Main St. in downtown RedwoodCity were placed on t he National Regist er of Historic Places.

The register is the nation’s list of culturalresources worthy of preservation. Thehonor comes with perks including special

building codes to facilitate the restorationof historic structures and certain tax advan-tages.

The Offerman House is the oldest surviv-ing building in downtown Redwood Cityhaving been originally constructed in1857. The Dielmann House was built in1892.

WASHINGTON — Republican presidential

rivals rushed Friday to condemn DonaldTrump’s support for a government databaseto t rack Muslims in the United States, draw-ing a sharp distinction with the Republicanfront-runner on a proposal also deemedunconstitutional by legal experts.

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush called theprospect of a registry “abhorrent.” FloridaSen. Marco Rubio said the i dea was “unnec-essary” and not somethin g Americans wouldsupport. And Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, who haslargely avoided criticizing Trump through-out the 2016 campaign, said, “I’m not a fanof government registries of American citi-zens.”

“The First Amendment protects religiousliberty, and I’ve spent the past severaldecades defending the religious liberty of every American,” Cruz told reporters in

Sioux City, Iowa.The rebukes came after Trump voiced sup-

port for a mandatory database for Muslimsin the U.S. while campaigning Thursday inIowa. The real est ate mogul was asked by anNBC News reporter about the prospect of adatabase and whether Muslims would berequired to be registered. In a video postedby the network, Trump said, “They have tobe.”

Asked whether Muslims would have toregister at mosques, Trump said: “Differentplaces. You sign up at different places. Butit’s all about management.”

In an interview on Fox News ChannelFriday evening, Trump tried to clarify hisposition, saying, “I want a watch list for theSyrian refugees that Obama’s go ing t o let i n

if we don’t stop him as Republicans.”He said he’d had trouble hearing the NBC

reporter’s questions. But he didn’t disavowthe idea of a general registry for Muslimsliving in the country or say decisively hewouldn’t support it.

“I want to have watch list s. I want to havesurveillance. I mean, we’re not a bunch of babies,” he said.

Trump has also voiced support for closi ngcertain mosques as a way to contain the ter-ror threat in the U.S.

His comments followed the attacks inParis that killed 130 people and wounded

hundreds more. The Islamic State g roup hasclaimed responsibility, elevating fears inthe U.S. and prompting calls for newrestrictions on refugees fleeing war-tornSyria.

The House passed legislation this weekessentially barring Syrian and Iraqirefugees from the United States. SenateMajority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky.,has slotted the bill for possible Senate con-sideration, though it’s unclear whether thechamber could get enough vo tes to o verridea threatened veto by President BarackObama.

Trump rivals decry his callfor registering U.S. Muslims

CONCORD, N.H. — Republican BenCarson said Friday that creating safe zonesin Syria and establishing a coalition gov-ernment in the war-torn nation are betterways t o deal with Syrian refugees than reset-tling them in the United States.

“I think i t actually makes a lot more sens eand we can p rovide them with humanitariansupport,” Carson said after filing his paper-work to run i n t he New Hampshire presi den-tial p rimary.

Carson’s comments came a day after hecompared the process for vetting Syrianrefugees to handling a “rabid dog. ”

The retired neurosurgeon is facingenhanced scrutiny of his foreign policy cre-dentials in the wake of a terrorist attack inParis that killed 130 people. The IslamicState, which controls large swaths of Syriaand Iraq, is claiming credit for the att acks.

Carson said Friday the United Statesshould work on negotiating a cease-fire inSyria, now in the fourth year of a civil war,and create a coalition government thatincludes President Bashar Assad.

“You’re not going toget one faction or anoth-er in control without agreat deal of strife, butyou might be able toform a coalition govern-ment, at which time youmay be able to repopu-late th e area (and) repatri-ate the citizens there,”Carson said.

Carson said it would be “pretty hard” toroot out Assad and his government, and saidthe United States’ involvement in Libyaproved that supporting groups working“against the establishment” isn’t always

the best choice.In making his comments, Carson pushed

back against criticism that he doesn’t havea strong understanding of foreign policy.

“Actually listen to my policies, actuallylisten to my solutions, you will find thatthey compare favorably with anybody. Butdon’t listen to th e narratives that try to say,‘Oh, he doesn’t know anything,”’ Carsonsaid.

Carson joined other GOP candidates incriticizing recent remarks from Donald

Trump, who voiced support for creating adatabase to track Muslims in the UnitedStates. Carson said it would set a “prettydangerous precedent” to sing le someone outbecause of their religion. He did say thegovernment should keep a database of for-eigners who come into the country.

Trump has also proposed monitoringmosques in the United States. Carson s aidhe is in favor of “different treatment” forany mosques that are “radicalizing peo-ple,” but said he would treat any otherinstitutions supporting terrorism in thesame way.

A United Airlines flight carrying New Jersey Gov. ChrisChristie was about to take off from San FranciscoInternational Airport Friday morning but returned to thegate to remove a p assenger, according to SFO spokesmanDoug Yakel .

United Airlines flight 1108, which was headed toBoston, was taxii ng o n the SFO runway when a passengerbegan taking pictures of flight attendants, which appar-ently made other passengers uncomfortable, Yakel said.

The flight was scheduled to leave SFO at 8:32 a.m.,according to the United Airlines website.

A statement released by Gov. Christie’s campaignspokeswoman Maria Comella, posted on the governor’sTwitter page, said the governor was aboard the flight withan aide and a member of his security team.

WASHINGTON — Unemploymentrates fell in 3 2 U.S. states last month asemployers nationwide added the most

 jobs of any month this year.

Jobless rates rose in just three statesin October and were unchanged in 15.

The unemployment rate has tumbledbelow 4.5 percent in 21 states, includ-ing Texas, Colorado, and Virginia.That’s a historically low level that mayhelp push up pay in th e coming months.

A hiring rebound in October added

271,000 jobs, the most this year. Thenational unemployment rate fell to 5

percent from 5.1 percent. Steady spend-ing by consumers has offset slowergrowth overseas and encouraged busi-nesses to add more workers.

Employers stepped up hiring in 40states last month, the most sin ce April.The biggest job gains occurred inCalifornia, which added 41,200, fol-lowed by Florida, with 35 ,200 .

North Dakota’s unemploy ment rate of 2.8 percent was the lowest in thenation, followed by Nebraska’s 2.9 per-cent.

Very low jobless rates are becomingmore common: The unemployment rateis 4.4 percent in Ohio, down from 5.2

percent a year ago; 4.4 percent inIndiana, down from 5.8 percent 12

months earlier; and 3.8 percent inColorado, down from 4.4 percent a yearago.

When unemployment falls to suchlow levels, companies are typicallyforced to compete among a dwindlingsupply of tho se without jobs in order tohire. Or they have to make better offersto th ose who already have jobs to enticethem to switch. In either case, averagewage levels would rise.

The Federal Reserve cited many suchexamples of wage pressures across thecountry last month, according to its“Beige Book” report. The Beige Bookconsists of anecdotal reports of busi-

ness conditions in the Fed’s 12 dis-tricts.

BEIRUT — The United Statesand Russia are going after theIslamic State group’s oil industry,destroyi ng refineries and h undredsof tanker trucks transporting oilfrom eastern Syria in a heavy bom-bardment in recent days aiming tobreak the extremists’ biggestsource of income.

The campaign already appears t obe having some effect, with oilprices rising in areas of Syria thatrely on crude smuggled out of ISareas. But experts say it will bedifficult to cut off the militants’trade completely since they arelikely to switch to smaller, moreelusive vehicles.

Putting a total end to the indus-try would mean destroying the oilfields in Syria, b ut that would alsobring hardship to millions in thepopulatio n under IS rule and oth erswho depend on the group’s oil,causing fuel shortages as wintersets in. Otherwise, taking thefields would require ground forces.

Still, the campaign could hit

hard on an industry that U.S. offi-cials say generates more than half the revenue the Islamic Stategroup uses to maintain its ruleover its swath of territory acrossSyria and Iraq and pay its fight ers.

IS controls almost all of Syria’soil fields, concentrated in the eastof the country, producing some30,000 barrels a day, along withone field in Iraq. It smuggles mostabroad, mainly to Turkey, sellingat cut-rate prices and generatingnearly $50 millio n a month.

In the wake of the bloodyattacks in Paris last week —and

the downing of a Russian passen-ger jet in Egyp t’s Sinai widelyblamed on IS — American andRussian warplanes unleashed astepped-up wave of strikes on oilinfrastructure.

Russia’s bombing blitz thisweek b y warplanes and cruise mis-siles from navy ships destroyed15 oil refining and storage facili-ties in Syria and 525 trucks carry-ing oil, Defense Minister SergeiShoig u said Friday. Aerial foo tagereleased by the military showedairstrikes hitting a column of oiltankers in the Syrian desert, and

sections of a large oil refinerybursting into flames.

On Sunday, U.S. defense offi-cials sai d warplanes destroyed 116oil-hauling trucks in easternSyria, the biggest strikes on theoil trade since t he U.S.-led air cam-paign b egan more than a year and ahalf ago. Attack planes and gun-ships pounded the trucks as theyclustered near an oi l facility in AbuKamal, a town close to the Iraqiborder. On Nov. 9, a Frenchairstrike hit an oil s upply center inthe eastern Syrian province of Deir el-Zour.

The U.S.-led coalition has tar-geted oil i nfrastructure occasion al-ly in the past, including a heavyattack last month on Syria’s Omarfield near the town of Deir el-Zourthat hit refineries, command andcontrol centers and transportationnodes.

“Degrading this source of rev-enue will reduce ISIL’s ability tofund their military and terroristoperations,” said Col. StevenWarren, the spokesman for theU.S.-led coalition in Baghdad,using another acronym for thegroup.

WASHINGTON — An aviationindustry task force is recommend-ing that operators be required to

register drones weighing as littleas a half a pound, a threshold thatcould include some remote-con-trolled toys, industry officialssaid.

Federal Aviatio n Adminis trationofficials who convened the 25-member task force on drone regis-tration have said they want toavoid requiring the registration of toys. But the consensus of the taskforce is t hat the weight thresholdthat triggers registration shouldbe set at 250 grams or above,which is about a half-pound, saidpeople familiar with its delibera-tions.

The threshold is based on thepotential impact a drone that size

would have if it fell from the skyand struck a person or if it co llidedwith a helicopter or plane, theysaid.

The recommendations wereexpected to be submitted to theFAA by Saturday. The FAA then can

modify them, and hopes to issuethe rules before Christmas tobegin registering some of thethousands of drones expected to bepurchased over the holidays. Oneindustry official said the target

date is Dec. 2 1.Four people familiar with the

advisory group’s deliberationsdescribed the conclusions to theAssociated Press, speaking oncondition of anonymity becausethe FAA asked that the discussio nsbe kept private.

The registration requirementwould apply to drone operatorsrather than individual drones toavoid requiring o perators who o wnmultiple drones to register morethan once. The operator wouldreceive a single registration num-ber, which would then be affixed tothe bo dy of each drone.

People who already own dronesweighing more than a half-pound

would have to register th em.Registration could be done

through an FAA website where anoperator can provide name,address, phone number and othercontact information and receive aregistration number.

WASHINGTON — People on theU.S. government’s terrorist watch

list often can’t board commercialairliners, but they can walk into agun store and legally buy pistolsand powerful military-styl e rifles.

Sensing a political openingfrom last week’s Paris attacks,Democrats are renewing calls forCongress to pass legislationaimed at preventing terroristsfrom buying guns. Similar bills —including a post-9/11 measurebacked by the Justice Departmentunder Republican President GeorgeW. Bush — h ave been st ymied foryears, thanks in large part toopposition from gun-rights

groups and congressionalRepublicans.

According to a March analysisby the Government

Accountability Office, people onthe FBI’s consolidated TerroristWatchlist successfully passed thebackground check required to pur-chase firearms more than 90 per-cent of the time, with more than2,043 approvals between 2004and 2014. The office is an inves-tigative branch of Congress.

The FBI is noti fied when a back-ground check for the purchase of firearms or explosives generates amatch with the watch list, andagents often use that informationto step up surveillance on terrorsuspects.

BAMAKO, Mali — Heavily armedIslamic extremists seized dozens of hostages Friday at a Radisson hotel, butMalian troops, backed by U.S. and Frenchspecial forces, swarmed in to retake thebuilding an d free many of t he terrified cap-tives. At least 20 people, including oneAmerican, were killed along with two gun-men during the more than seven-hoursiege, a Malian military commander said.

An extremist group led by former al-Qaida commander Moktar Belmoktarclaimed responsibi lity for the attack in theformer French colony, and many in Francesaw it as a new assault on their country’sinterests a week after the Paris attacks.

While French President FrancoisHollande did not link the violence at theRadisson Blu hotel with last week’s blood-

shed in Paris, h e declared that France wouldstand by the West African country.

“Once again, terrorists want to maketheir barbaric presence felt everywhere,where they can kill, where they can mas-sacre. So we should once again show oursolidarity with our ally, Mali,” he said.

Gunfire continued throughout the day atthe hotel, which is popular with airlinecrews and other foreigners doing businessin the capital of Bamako, but the shoot inghad stop ped after dark.

Officials would not confirm that the

entire complex had been secured by night-fall, although the only activity was fire-fighters carrying bodies to waiting ambu-

lances.Malian state television said late Friday

night that the g overnment h ad announced a10-day state of emergency beginning atmidnight as well as a three-day period of national mourning beginning Monday.

Army Cmdr. Modibo Nama Traore saidlate Friday that 20 people had been killed,including an official with Mali’s gen-darmerie. In addition, he said five peoplewere injured including two pol ice officers.

The U.S. State Department said oneAmerican was among th e dead, tho ugh it didnot identify the victim out of respect forthe family.

Though Traore had earlier said as many as10 attackers were involved, he said Fridaynight that there may have been only twogunmen, both of whom were kil led. A

police officer at th e hotel displayed photosof th e two dead gunmen, their b odies riddledwith bullets.

The siege began when assailants shout-ing “God is great!” in Arabic burst into thecomplex and opened fire on the hotelguards, Traore said earlier on Friday. Anemployee who identified himself as TambaDiarra said by phone amid the attack thatthe militants used grenades.

About 170 guests and employees wereinitially taken hostage, but some apparent-ly escaped or hid in the sprawling, cream-

and-pink hotel that has 190 rooms and aspa, outdoor pool and ballroom. Theyincluded visitors from France, Belgium,Germany, China, India, Canada, IvoryCoast and Turkey.

“It was more like a real terrorist attack,”said U.N. Mission spokesman OlivierSalgado. “The intention was clearly to k ill,not to necessarily have people beinghostage.”

Traore said 126 p eople h ad been escortedto s afety, and that at least one g uest report-ed the attackers instructed him to reciteverses from the Quran as proof of hisMuslim faith before he was allowed toleave.

As people ran for their lives along a dirtroad, troops i n full combat gear pointed the

way to safety, sometimes escorting themwith a protective arm around the shoulder.Local TV showed heavily armed troops inwhat appeared to be a lobby.

Monique Kouame Affoue Ekonde of Ivory

Coast said she and six oth er people, in clud-ing a Turkish woman, were escorted out bysecurity forces as t he gunmen rushed towardthe fifth or six th floor. Ekonde said she hadbeen “in a state of shock.”

Malian special forces went “floor byfloor” to free hostages, Traore said.

U.S. special forces assisted, said Col.Mark Cheadle of the U.S. Army’s AfricaCommand. At least six Americans wereevacuated from the hotel, Cheadle said. U.S.officials were trying to verify the locationof all American citizens in Mali.

One week after attacks, Paris honors the deadBy Karl Ritter and Lorene Cook THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PARIS — A week after the deadliest attacks on France indecades, shell-shocked Parisians honored the 130 victimswith candles and songs Friday, knowing that at least onesuspect is stil l at large and fearing that ot her militants couldbe slipping through Europe’s porous borders.

Having established how the attacks against a soccer sta-dium, sidewalk cafes and a rock concert were carried out,investigators were still piecing together details on theassailants and how they converged in the French capital.

Prosecutors said Friday t hat t hey h ad determined throughfingerprint checks that two of the seven attackers who diedin t he bl oodshed had entered Europe th rough Greece on Oct.3.

Previously they had said only one attacker had been reg-istered in Greece, an entry poin t for many o f the hundreds of thousands of migrants s eeking asy lum in Europe. That mancarried a Syrian passport naming him as Ahmad Al-Mohammad, t hough i t’s unclear whether it was authenti c.

The five other attackers who died had links t o France andBelgium. One of the seven dead has not been identified,while a manhunt is underway for o ne suspect who escaped,Salah Abdeslam, 26. French police stopped Abdeslam themorning after Friday’s attacks at the Belgian border butthen let him go.

Belgium early Saturday raised th e terrorism th reat alert forthe Brussels area to its highest level, indicating a “seriousand immediate th reat.”

French police official Jean-Marc Falcone, speaking onFrance-Info radio, said he was unable to say if Abdeslam,whose brother, Brahim, blew himself up in the attacks,could be back on French t erritory.

The suspected ring leader, Abdelhamid Abaaoud, was ki lledin a pre-dawn raid Wednesday on an apartment in the Parissuburb of Saint-Denis, along with Hasna Aitboulahcen, a26-year-old woman who said she was his cousin.Prosecutors said Friday that a third person was kil led in theraid but did not release the identit y.

They also said Aitboulahcen had not blown herself upwith a suicide vest, as initially believed, which suggeststhe bo dy parts collected after the raid belon ged to the t hird,unidentified, person.

Meanwhile in Brussels, European interior and justiceministers vowed to tighten border controls to make it easi-

er to track the movements of jihadis with European pass-ports traveling to and from warzones in Syria.

“We must move swiftly and with force,” French InteriorMinist er Bernard Cazeneuve said. “Europe owes it to all vi c-tims of terrorism and those who are close to them.”

Cazeneuve said the 28 -nation bloc must move forward ona long-delayed system for collecting and exchanging air-line pass enger information, data he said is vital “for tracingthe return of foreign fighters” from Syria and Iraq.

Convicted spy Pollardreleased from prisonBy Eric TuckerTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON — Convicted spy Jonathan Pollard wasreleased from prison Friday, culminating an extraordinary

espionage case that complicatedAmerican-Israeli relations for 30 yearsand became a periodic bargaining chipbetween two allies.

Within hours of his release, Pollard’sattorneys began a court challenge toterms of his parole that they called“onerous and oppressive,” includingrequiring him to wear an electronic GPSankle bracelet and the monit oring o f anycomputer that Poll ard may use either per-sonally or at a job.

Pollard was driven away from the federal prison at Butner,North Carolina, before dawn in heavy fog.

Hours later, he ch ecked in with prob ation officers at a fed-

eral courthouse in New York City, then emerged into athrong of journalists. He wore loose-fitting khakis, a blueyarmulke and a sligh t smile.

“I can’t comment on anything today,” he said, with hiswife, Esther Poll ard, o n his arm.

One of Pollard’s lawyers and a U.S. marshal, graspingPollard firmly by the arm, escorted him through the crowdof jostling photographers to a waiting car.

Pollard’s release came nearly 3 0 years to the day after hisarrest for providing large amounts of classified U.S. gov-ernment information to Israel.

“The people of Israel welcome the release of JonathanPollard,” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu saidin a statement. “As someone who raised Jonat han’s case foryears with successive American presidents, I had longhoped thi s day would come.”

NEW YORK — The stock marketclosed out its best week of the yearFriday as big gains by retailers andtechnology companies pushed major

indexes upward.Stocks faded as Friday wore on, butthey still finished higher. The S&P500 i ndex climbed almost 3.3 percentthis week. By just a hair, that was itsbiggest weekly gain in 2015.

Stocks climbed Monday andWednesday as the U.S. market didn’tseem to be affected by a string of unsettling international events,including last Friday’s terrorist attackin Paris. Instead, i nvestors respondedto signs the U.S. economy remainsstrong.

The Dow Jones industrial averagerose 91.06 points, or 0.5 p ercent, to17,823.81. The Standard & Poor’s500 index added 7.93 points, or 0.4percent, to 2,089.17. The Nasdaqcomposite index gained 31.2 8 point s,

or 0.6 percent, to 5,104.92. The Dowturned positive for the year by a frac-tion of a point.

“Throughout the week we got moreand more news that the FederalReserve was assessing the economyfavorably,” said Erik Davidson, chief investment officer at Wells FargoPrivate Bank.

Davidson said inv estors have s low-ly gotten used to the idea that the

Federal Reserve is going to raiseinterest rates. That prospect worriedthem greatly a few months ago, butnow, stocks are rising becauseinvestors are taking h eart that t he Fedbelieves the economy is on s olid foot-ing. Meanwhile, new economic stimu-lus in Europe could strengthen theglobal economy.

Retailers rallied after solid earningsreports from discount chain RossStores and footwear seller FootLocker. Retail stocks got pummeledthis month after weak reports fromMacy’s and Nordstrom causedinvestors to worry that the holidayshoppi ng s eason would be a bust. Butsome retailers are doing well.

Ken Perkins, president of theresearch firm Retail Metrics, saidshoppers are looking for discountsand turning to lower-priced retailerslike TJ Maxx and Ross Stores and to“fast fashion” retailers who keep upwith the latest trends.

“All that doesn’t b ode well for mall-based retailers,” Perkins said.

Ross Stores gained $4.64, or 10percent, t o $50. 84 while Foot Lockerrose $3.49, or 5.7 percent, to $65.02.Gap advanced $1.89, or 7.5 percent,to $2 6. 98 and Urban Outfitt ers rose 71cents, or 3.2 percent, to $23.

Athletic app arel and footwear makerNike said it will raise it s dividend, buyback $12 billio n of its own shares andsplit it s stock. Nike, which has nearlytripled over the last five years, rose

$6.87, or 5.5 percent, to $132.65.Alphabet, the parent company of 

Google, led a rally in t ech stocks andmade its biggest gain in almost amonth. The company said Wednesdaythat former VMWare CEO Diane Greenwill run Goog le’s commercial techn ol-ogy business. That suggests Googlewants to strengthen its enterprisebusiness, which is a big profit centerfor Amazon and Microsoft but an areawhere Google has lagged. Alphabetshares rose $17.06, or 2.2 percent, to$777.

HP Enterprise, which sells commer-cial computer systems, software andtech services, rose 43 cents, or 2.1percent, to $ 14.2 1. Web domain-nameregistration company VeriSign added$3.70, or 4.3 percent, to $90.30.

TurboTax maker Intuit climbed afterit reported strong quarterly revenueand gave a forecast for th e current quar-ter that was better than analystsexpected. The stock added $5.78, or5.9 percent, to $103.20.

Chipotle Mexican Grill sustained

its biggest one-day loss in threeyears. The shares dropped $75.32, or12.3 percent, to $536.19 after theCenters for Disease Control andPrevention said an E. coli outbreaklinked to Chipotle locations hasbeen found in three more statesaround the country.

NEW YORK — An outbreak of E. colilinked to Chipotle that originated in thePacific Northwest has spread south andeast and has now infected people in six

states.New cases have been reported in

California, New York and Ohio, theCenters for Disease Control andPrevention said Friday. The first cases

were discovered late last month inOregon and Washington, and morerecently in Minnesota.

Investigators have yet to determinethe specific ingredient lin ked to the ill -ness.

So far, 45 people have been infected,

with 43 of them saying they ate atChipotle in the week before theybecame sick. The CDC said it is aware of illnesses starting o n dates ranging fromOct. 19 to Nov. 8 . The agency said that

illnesses that took place after Oct. 31may not have been reported yet.

Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc. closed 43restaurants in Oregon and Washingtonin late October after health officials dis-covered most of the people sickened inthe outbreak had eaten at its restaurants.

The restaurants have since reopened.“At the moment, we do not believe

that it is necessary to close any restau-rants,” Chipotle spokesman ChrisArnold said in an email.

DETROIT — Tesla Motors is recalling itsentire fleet of Model S sedans to check theirfront seat belts after one passenger’s seatbelt b ecame disconnected.

The recall — the company’s largest ever— involves 90,000 cars worldwide. Teslasent an email Friday to affected customers.

Tesla’s other vehicles, the Model X SUVand the Roadster, aren’t affected. Seat beltsin the back seat of the Model S also aren’t

affected.About two weeks ago, Tesla said, a cus-tomer in Europe reported that her seat beltdisconnected when sh e turned to t alk to rearpasseng ers. The woman was no t in jured andher car has been repaired.

Palo Alto, California-based Teslabelieves the seat belt anchors weren’t prop-

erly bolted together in that case. The com-pany has inspected 3,000 other Model Ssedans and hasn’t found a problem, but it

wants to inspect all seat belts to make sure.Tesla owners are being asked to s chedule avisit to a Tesla service center for an inspec-tion . Around 83 percent of Tesla o wners arewithin a 25-minute drive of the company’s125 service centers worldwide, the compa-ny said. Tesla may send mobile teams tocustomers who are far from a service center.

Tesla has recalled the Model S severaltimes before. Most recently, in January2014 , i t updated some cars’ software to pre-

vent connector adapters from overheatingwhile the car is charging . But thi s is Tesla’slargest recall to date.

Tesla stressed that the recall was volun-tary and not requested by federal regulators.The company said it has informed govern-ment agencies in the U.S., Europe, Chinaand elsewhere.

Hillsdale football coach Mike Parodi istired of answering questions about histeam’s first-round playoff opponent,Westmont.

Not the team itself. Rather, Parodi is tiedof people wondering if a Saturday after-noon, 1 p. m. kickoff will have any effect onthe Knights. After all, Hillsdale, the topseed in th e Division 4 bracket, h as playedonly one afternoon game all s eason.

Parodi b rushes such talk aside.

“The only thing concerning me is howmany people ask me if it concerns me,”Parodi s aid. “We practice in the day t ime allthe ti me and in the s ummer. I don’t exp ect itto be any sort of iss ue.”

Besides, Westmont will be experiencingthe same thing. The Warriors have playedonly one day game as well.

“I grew up on football at 1 p.m. onSaturdays with my dad in the [junior col-lege] scene,” Parodi said. Mike Parodi Sr.was a longtime football assistant coach atCity College of San Francisco.

More important than the start time to

Parodi is Westmont (6-4) itself. Coached byformer Menlo College head man MarkKaanapa, the Warriors finished third in theBlossom Valley Athletic League’s SantaTeresa Division — which is the equivalentof the Peninsula Athletic League’s OceanDivisio n, o f which Hills dale is th e undefeat-ed champio n.

Silver Creek, which finished secondbehind Lincoln, is the No. 4 seed in theDivision 4 bracket. Lincoln opts out of CCS every year and finishes its season inthe annual Bone Game against San Jose onThanksgiving Day.

Known mainly as a rushing team, theWarriors average 205 y ards per game on theground, led by Cooper Horwitz. The senioraverages 100 yards rushing and has scored12 touchdowns this season. Westmontcomes into the game averaging 2 6 points agame.

The passing attack averages less than a100 yards passing per game, but seniorquarterback AJ Mintz i s relatively accurate,hitting on close to 60 percent of his passes.And while the Warriors have thrown for

Senior Bassel Mufarreh agonizes as the clock winds down on Burlingame’s 30-28 loss toRiordan in the Central Coast Section Open Division III playoff opener Friday at Umland Stadium.

By Terry BernalDAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Burlingame almost pulled off a miraclecomeback.

Almost.But th e No. 4-seeded Panthers — who h ad

given up 30 or more points j ust once all sea-son — saw their season end with a 30-28loss to No. 5 Riordan in the Central CoastSection Open Division III playoff openerFriday at Umland Stadium.

Burlingame trailed 24-14 at the half, butmanaged to find a tempo and keep pace withan explosive Riordan offense in the secondhalf. The Panthers twice closed it to a one-possession game, but never led in the half.

“If we could have snuck this out, I feel li kethere would have been no stopping us,”Burlingame head coach John Philpopoulossaid.

The Panthers scored the game’s finaltouchdown with 9:04 remaining in regula-tion on a 15-yard touchdown run by LaipeliPalu. Then the Burlingame defense made athree-and-out stop to give quarterbackCameron Kelaita and Co. the ball back lessthan two minutes later. Despite their finalpossession lasting n early four minutes, th ePanthers only netted 5 yards on the drive.They ultimately punted on fourth-and-18,never to regain po ssession again.

The bread-and-butter Burlingame run gamehad its hands full with the West CatholicAthletic League powerhouse defense of Riordan. Palu fought for 59 yards on 17 car-ries, while senior Joevani Garcia rushed fora team-high 60 yards on seven carries.

“They’ve got a pretty stout seven or eightup front, so we weren’t expecting to comeout and march,” Philipopoulos said. “But asthe game went on, we were able to makesome things happen.”

Burlingame established its passing gameearly tho ugh, making for an exciting o pen-ing drive that s aw the Panth ers jump out to a7-0 lead. Kelaita completed a pair of third-down pass es to s enior wide receiver CooperGindraux; first for a 50-yard strike to move

OAKLAND — Until a couple of games ago,Stephen Curry really hadn’t thought muchabout making more NBA history.

Now, Curry and the Golden State Warriorsare right on the cusp of adding anotheraccomplishment in an incredible year.

Curry scored 27 points and the defendingchampions moved within one victory of matching the best start in NBA histo ry, hold-

ing o ff the Chicago Bulls106-94 on Friday nightto improve to 14-0.

The league’s last unde-feated team ran its fran-chise-record home win-ning streak to 26 gamesby beating a Chicagoteam that is the last towin at Oracle Arena dur-ing the regular season,

way back in late January. Golden State did so

with its thi rd tough game in four nights, too.“It’s a goal that’s right here and now and

it’s something that we want to experience,”Curry said. “It’d be a huge accomplishmentbecause doing something that hasn’t beendone in the history of the league is special.You never know if this opportunity willcome back again. There are so many vari-ables that go into winning this many in arow, especially th e start of the season.”

Golden State equaled the 1957-58 Celtics asthe only defending champions to win their ini-

tial 14 games. The Warriors are one of five t eamsin NBA history to begin 14-0, and will travel toDenver looking to keep it going Sunday.

Harrison Barnes added 20 points and ninerebounds for the Warriors in a game featuring18 lead changes and 17 ties.

Jimmy Butler had 28 poin ts, nine reboundsand seven assists for the Bulls in t he secondgame of a fo ur-game road trip.

“We understand ho w hard you have to playin o rder to win i n th is l eague, and everybodyhas bought in to that, ” Butler said.

Turns out the loss by the College of SanMateo to City College of San Francisco aweek ago was not a make-or-break situationfor the Bulldogs’ playoff chances.

Not even three losses was enough to keepthe Bulldogs out of the four-team NorthernCalifornia playoffs, with a chance to playfor the state title.

The second-seeded Bulldogs (7-3) willhost No. 3 Chabot (8-2) at noon Saturday,with the winner going o n to t he Nor Cal titlegame next week. San Francisco, the No. 1seed, takes on No. 4 Butte in the oth er semi-final game.

The Nor Cal playo ffs — and by ext ensio n,the state title game — is what CSM set outto do at the start of the season, and CSMcoach Bret Pollack doesn’t care how theBulldogs got there.

CSM head coach Bret Pollack used a “Menin Black” movie reference to explain howhis team feels.

“If I went, ‘bzzzz’ with the mind-eraserthing and said, ‘We’re in the first round of the playoffs, at home?’ I’d be excited,”Pollack said.

Despite playing coy leading up to thegame against San Francisco, Pollack knewhis team was in the playoffs all along.

“I knew (we were in),” Pollack said. “Noone on the team knew. None of the coach-es.”

If San Francisco is considered CSM’smain, in-conference rival, Chabot inHayward would be the Bulldogs’ No. 1 out-of-conference nemesis.

“We played (them every year) for foreveruntil this last (conference alignment)cycle,” Pollack said. “We’ve played thembefore that for as long as I can remember.

“The ‘Battle of t he Bridge,’ baby!”The Gladiators went 5-0 in winning the

Valley Con ference title. They averaged 46. 5points per game this season. They havebeen on fire the last six weeks, averaging55.5 points per game — which included astreak of four games in a row scoring 50points or more, including 60 against

SEATTLE — When faced with adversity thepast two seasons, the Seahawks were able tofind solutions.

The big question is whether they can do itagain this season, and it starts on Sundaywhen the Seahawks (4-5) hos t the 49ers (3-6).

This week has created all k inds of con cern.Have the Seahawks become soft and compla-cent since winning a title and negotiatinghuge salaries? Are they playing with the sameeffort that got them to consecutive SuperBowls? Or, have the Seahawks simply madetoo many mistakes against good teams?

Four of their five losses are to the Packers,Bengals, Panthers and Cardinals, who have acombined 30-6 record. Seattle has made glar-ing mistakes in all four games. Cutting downon errors would be a big help .

“That’s what I have hope in, that we’ve beenable to come out of the trenches, out of thegutter so to speak, and fight our way out,”Seattle wide receiver Doug Baldwin said. “It’sa little deeper, it’s a little later in the season.We’re under .500 right now so it feels a littledeeper but it’s noth ing we can’t do.”

While Seattle attempts to b egin a winningstreak, the 49ers are hoping to build on anunexpected win two weeks ago over Atlanta.Blaine Gabbert’s first start in place of ColinKaepernick was a success and the 49ersdefense looked like the dominant unit it wasin p revious y ears.

Keeping it going in Seattle won’t be easy.The 49ers have lost five of their last six visi ts.

Unleash the beastThe overwhelming feeling around the

Seahawks was last week’s offensive gameplan never got started because of penaltyproblems and falling behind 19-0. That limit-ed Marshawn Lynch to eight carries. ExpectSeattle to make Lynch a priority. His only100-yard game of the season came against the49ers when Seattle ran the ball nine times

with Lynch on its opening touchdown drive.

Bowman’s backSunday will be NaVorro Bo wman’s first

game back in the stadium where he suffered acareer-threatening knee injury in the 2013NFC championship game.

It’s a vivid memory that Bowman has beenthinking about for a couple of weeks becausethe trajectory of his career changed when hewas hurt in the fourth quarter of that champi-onship game. He missed the 2014 season andsaid he’s still not 100 percent. Nonetheless,Bowman leads the NFC in tackles with 88.

“It will be very humbling for me just toapproach it again and be able to just play onthat field again and have a good game,”Bowman said.

Third-down troubleSeattle was 1 of 8 on third downs against

Arizona largely because the Seahawks were inthird-and-long most of the game. Six of Seattle’s eight th ird-down attempts were 10 ormore yards. The struggles on third down also

led to the Seahawks defense being on the field

for nearly 39 minutes.For the season, Seattle is 21st in the league

converting just under 36 percent of thirddowns. But they are converting 48.6 percenton third-and-8 or shorter.

Road woesThe 49ers are 0-4 on the road including

being outscored 74-13 in division losses atArizona and St. Louis.

San Francisco hopes to change its fortunesoff the bye week — even if the task is daunt-ing in o ne of the league’s most raucous venuesat CenturyLink Field against a team that hasruled this rivalry of late.

There were discussions during the extendedbreak on how to approach road games. The49ers came close in a 30-27 loss at the NewYork Giants on Oct. 11 .

“We started talking about when we leave,you talk about all the different things,” coachJim Tomsula said. “I don’t put it on crowdnoise, I don’t put it on tho se things, but justcoming out rolling, just go. And that’s our

focus this week. Just, let’s go.”

Woodson stillrespected byMichigan fansBy Larry Lage

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ALLEN PARK, Mich. — Charles Woodsonhas quite a fan club in Michig an.

In addition to the people who still fondlyremember the Heisman Trophy winn er help-ing the Wolverines win a national champi-onship in 1997, the Oakland Raiders safetyhas admirers among the Detroit Lions.

“I’m excited to be on the same field as him,”Detroit safety Glover Quin said. “Excited toshake hi s hand and tell him how much I appre-

ciate his career.“Hopefully, I can get

his jersey.”Quin said Woodson is

arguably the best defen-sive back in NFL historybecause his all-around

talents are more impres-sive than what formergreats such as DeionSanders or Ed Reed wereable to do. Quin marveled

at how well Woodson has made the transi-tion from cornerback to nickel back to safe-ty while continuing to make plays in cover-age, against the run and as a threat to blitz.

“He has done it all, ” Quin s aid.Some thought Woodson might be done in

the NFL when Green Bay cut him in 2013,and he had to wait three-plus months to geta job. Oakland, which happened to draftWoodson No. 4 overall in 19 98, signed himas a free agent and has extended his careerwith a pair of on e-year contracts.

“The things that you hear about not beingable to do this or not being what you were10, 11 years ago, which nobody is who theywere 10 or 11 years ago,” Woodson said.“So you hear all thos e thin gs and you draw alittle bit from it.”

The 39-year-old Woodson is i n fact doingwhat he didn’t do a decade ago, and he’splaying against professionals youngenough to be his children.

“He’s ol der than my mom,” Lions corner-back Darius Slay s aid.

Woodson has five interceptions, tied forthe most in the NFL. He finished his rookieseason with five interceptions and didn’tsurpass that total until 2008 in his first yearwith the Packers. In 18 seasons, Woodsonhas 65 interceptions to tie Ken Riley forfifth all-time.

Like the wine he sells, Woodson s eems togetting better in some ways with age.

“It’s all in the grapes,” he said. “I keeptelling everybody.”

Detroit (2-7) tries t o win a second straightgame Sunday at home against Oakland (4-5), trying to avoid a season-high, three-game losing streak.

Replacing AldonThe Raiders might have a harder time get-

ting to Stafford because of the yearlong sus-pension imposed linebacker Aldon Smith,who was second on the team with 3 1/2 sacks.

Good companyCarr became the s ixth quarterback t o t hrow

at least 20 pass es in each of his first two sea-sons. He joined Dan Marino, PeytonManning, Andrew Luck, Russell Wilso n and

Andy Dalton in the select club. Carr hasthrown for at least 3 00 y ards and two TDs thepast t hree games and can be the first Raiderquarterback ever to do that in four straight.

Put me in, coachLions rookie RB Ameer Abdullah returned

a kick 104 yards last week against thePackers, and is averaging an NFL-high 3 1.9yards on kickoff returns. He ran for a 24-yard touchdown and had a 36-yard catch inhis debut, but the Lions are strugglin g to gethim the ball on offense. Abdullah has 14carries over last three games after career-high 14 attempts in a win over Chicago.

C Rodney Hudsonquestionable forRaiders on SundayBy Michael WagamanTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ALAMEDA — The Oakland Raiders maybe without starting center Rodney Hudsonwhen they try to snap a two-game losingstreak Sunday in Detroit.

Hudson, who sat out last week’s loss to theVikings with an ankle injury, returned to prac-

tice this week and seemedto be making progress butcoach Jack Del Rio didn’tsound so optimistic whenasked about Hudson’savailability.

“It’s questionable,” DelRio said Friday. “He prac-ticed on a limited basis.We’ll see how it goes.”

Tony Bergstrom willstart for Oakland if Hudson is unavailable.Bergstrom made his first career start at cen-ter against the Vikings and drew praisefrom both Hudson and offensive coordina-tor Bill Musgrave.

“He did a terrific job,” Musgrave said.“He called a good game. I’m very pleasedwith Tony’s level o f play.”

Still, Hudson is th e anchor of the Raidersoffensive line after signing a $44.5 mil-lion, five-year contract in March. At thetime, i t made Hudson the hi ghest-p aid cen-ter in the NFL. Miami’s Mike Po uncey hassince surpassed him.

A second-round pick by Kansas City in2011, Hudson’s arrival has been paying off for Oakland. A year after finishing with theNFL’s least-efficient offense, the Raiders rankeighth overall and ninth in scoring headinginto Sunday’s game against the Lions.

Getting him back in the lineup is key,too, after Oakland was held to 14 po ints inthe loss to Minnesota — its fewest in morethan a month.

N.Y. court documents showbig business of daily fantasy sports

ALBANY, N.Y. — Documents filed at the court examining thelegality of daily fantasy sports in New York show a rapidly grow-ing national business built on billions in entry fees.

An estimate by DraftKings says the industry will take in up to$4 billion in entry fees in the United States this year, and couldreach up to $20 bill ion in 2017.

Daily fantasy companies like FanDuel and DraftKings general-ly charge roughly 10 percent of each wager for hosting games.

The insights into the industry are contained within courtexhibits as the companies fight New York Attorney General Eric

Schneiderman, who is attempting to halt what he considers ille-gal gambling under state law. A hearing is scheduled Wednesdayin Manhatt an before a state judge.

New York is just one of several states where the daily fantasysports industry is facing recent scrutiny. Several states that don’thave specific prohibitions are considering new regulations orlaws.

The companies caught the New York attorney general’s atten-tion with their ad blitzes th is year around the start of the NFL sea-son.

“The growth in (daily fantasy sports) advertising has been asspectacular as it was sudden,” the attorney general wrote in hismotion for an injunction. “Advertising reached a peak in theweeks leading up to the 2015 NFL season, when it became near-ly impossible to watch televised sports without encountering a(daily fantasy sports) commercial.”
