Obituary

BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE

The commercial Dungeness crab season,which was scheduled to start later thismonth, has been delayed due to concernsabout high levels of toxins caused by algae,state fish and wildlife officials announcedFriday.

The commercial rock crab fishery, whichis open year round, is also closed,California Department of Fish and Wildlifeofficials said.

The announcement follows a unanimousemergency vote on Thursday by theCalifornia Fish and Game Commission todelay the start of the recreational fishingseason for Dungeness and rock crabs aswell.

The recreational season for Dungenesscrab was scheduled to start Saturday, and thecommercial season on Nov. 15.

The closure will remain in effect indefi-nitely until testing determines that levels of domoic acid, a neurotoxin that can accumu-late in shellfish and other invertebrates,have returned to safe levels, officials said.

The fishing ban comes after a CaliforniaDepartment of Public Health adviso ry is suedon Tuesday warned people not to consumecrabs caught in waters between the Oregonborder and the southern Santa BarbaraCounty line because of high levels of domoic acid found in crab meat and viscera,also k nown as crab butter.

State biologists have been testingdomoic acid levels in crabs sinceSeptember, officials said Friday. Recently,tests o n crabs from nine different ports fromSanta Barbara to Crescent City founddomoic acid levels exceeding the state'saction level , according to st ate wildlife offi-cials.

Domoic acid can cause illness and some-times death in birds and marine mammalsthat consume affected organisms, wildlifeofficials said.

In humans, exposure to low levels of domoic acid can cause nausea, diarrhea anddizziness. Exposure to high levels can

result in persis tent sho rt-term memory loss,epileps y and in so me cases death, accordingto wildlife officials.

The high levels of domoic acid are attrib-uted to a massive toxic bloom of algaecalled Pseudo-nitzschia developing alongthe California coast. Although algaeblooms in the ocean are common, this par-ticular bloom is large and persistent, mostlikely caused by warmer ocean water temper-atures and El Niño weather conditions thestate is experiencing, according to wildlifeofficials.

WASHINGTON — Veterans’ hospitals andclinics are beefing up staff and seeing mo re

patients, but the number of appointmentsnot completed within 30 days continues togrow, Department of Veterans AffairsSecretary Robert McDonald said Friday.

Speaking at the National Press Club inadvance of Veterans Day, McDonalddescribed a VA that is doing much to addressproblems that investigators say causedchronic delays for veterans seeking care.McDonald said the VA compl eted 3.1 mi l-lion more appointments in the latest fiscalyear than the previous one. It also hiredthousands of n ew doctors and nurses.

Still, the organization is struggling tokeep up. McDonald said the number of appointments not completed in 30 days hasgrown from 300,000 to nearly 500, 000.

McDonald said more v eterans are comingto t he VA despit e often havi ng access t o

Medicare, Medicaid or private insurance. Hesaid the VA is more conven ient, effectiveand cheaper. A veteran would have to pay a$5,000 co-pay to get a knee replacementthrough Medicare, b ut not at the VA. For

veterans with hearing loss, going to th e VAcan save them about $4,000 compared toother coverage.

“Access to care has improv ed,” McDonaldsaid. “But here’s the inevitability:Improved access means more demand.”

McDonald said in the wake of the wait-time scandal, some lawmakers asked himabout whether veterans sh ould just be g ivenvouchers so they could access health carewherever they want. He said he studied theissue.

SACRAMENTO — As states deal with anationwide shortage of execution drugs,California propo sed Friday to allow correc-tions o fficials to choose one of four types of powerful barbiturates to execute prisonerson death row, depending on which one isavailable.

The single drug would replace the series of three drugs that were last used when Cl arenceRay Allen was executed in 20 06, strapped toa gurney in the old gas chamber of SanQuentin State Prison.

The proposal would allow the warden of San Quentin to cho ose between amobarbital,pentobarbital, secobarbital or thio pental toimpose the death penalty.

It also p uts the projected cost of an execu-tion at nearly $187,000 and retains theoption for inmates to choose the gas cham-

ber for their execution .Eight s tates already have used a single drug

for executions, and five others haveannounced plans to switch to the method,according to the nonprofit Death PenaltyInformation Center, which opposes execu-tions and tracks the is sue.

However, law professor Robert Weisberg,co-director of th e Stanford Criminal JusticeCenter, exp ects many more years of complexlegal challenges before anyone is executedin California.

“The lawyers who are going to litigatethese things are going to demand NobelPrize detail o n t he differences between t hesedrugs, and if there’s any difference, why arewe letting a warden make the decision,” hesaid.

Executions in California stalled in 2006amid legal challenges, but federal and state

judges s uggested the state co uld resume th epunishment if it b egan using a sing le drug.

LOS ANGELES — HillaryRodham Clinton is facing a ques-tion with global implications asshe seeks the White House: Whatdo you call the husband of a U.S.president?

First man? First gentleman?Funnyman Jimmy Kimmel asked

the Democratic presidential con-tender about that quandary Thursdayshould her husband, formerPresident Bill Clinto n, b ecome theofficial White House spouse.

Appearing on “Jimmy Kimmel

Live,” sheoffered a coupleof ideas with asmile: “firstdude” and “firstmate.”

“We have toreally work onwhat to callhim,” shequipped.

Clinton said that her husband hastold her he’s determined to breakthe “iron grip” that women havehad on being the spo use of a presi-dent.

Kimmel wanted to know if Bill

Clinton wouldpick out theofficial chinapattern for theWhite House,typically a roleof the first lady.But Clintonsaid she hadother ideas forher husband:

talking t o him about how to create jobs.

Clinton has been a favorite tar-get of Donald Trump and otherRepublican candidates, but she toldKimmel the criticism is just elec-

tion-season noise. Actually,Republicans l ike her, sh e said.

When she’s not on the ticket“Republicans say nice things,”Clinton told Kimmel.

“We have a long list of the nicething s Republicans have said aboutme,” she added. “You may be hear-ing more about it. ”

She wasn’t necessarily kind inreturn. Clinton said watching theRepublicans debate left her “beingappalled and being amused.”

“I disagree with a lot of what th eyare saying,” sh e said. “I wish t heywould actually address the prob-lems America is trying to face.”

Defiant Carson:Questions aboutWest Point unfairBy Steve Peoples

and Sergio BustosTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla.— A defiant Ben Carson on Fridayrejected the idea his past descrip-tions of receiving a scholarshipoffer to attend West Point wereinaccurate, and called questionsabout the veracity of the storyirrelevant to his campaign forpresident.

“I think what it shows, andthese kinds of things show, isthere is a desperation on behalf of some to try to find a way to tarnis hme,” Carson told reporters at anews conference near West PalmBeach. “Because they have been

looking through everything.They have been talking to every-one I have ever known and every-body I have ever seen. There hasgot to be a scandal.”

Carson, a newcomer to nationalpolitics, has developed a passion-ate following based in part on hisinspirational personal story anddevotion to Christian values. Theonly African-American in theRepublican 2016 class, Carsongrew up in inner-city Detroit andoften speaks about his brushes

with violence and poverty duringhis early years.

Following a story published byPolitico earlier on Friday, hiscampaign sought to clarifyCarson’s story about his interestin attending the U.S. MilitaryAcademy in his breakout book,“Gifted Hands,” in which he out-lines his participation with theReserve Officers’ Training Corps,commonly kn own as ROTC, whilein high school.

“I was offered a full schol arshipto West Point,” Carson wrote inthe 199 6 boo k. “I didn’t refuse thescholarship outright, but I letthem know that a military careerwasn’t where I saw myself going.As overjoyed as I felt to be offered

such a scholarship, I wasn’t reallytempted.”Carson has repeated the story

over the years, including in aninterview in October with talk-show host Charlie Rose.

Campaign spokesman DougWatts said Carson was “the topROTC student in the city of Detroit” and “was introduced tofolks from West Point by hisROTC superviso rs.”

“They told him they could helphim get an appointment based on

his grades and performance inROTC. He consi dered it but in theend did not seek admission,”Watts said.

Students granted admission toWest Po int are not awarded schol-arships. Instead, they are said toearn appoin tments to the militaryacademy, which come withtuition, room and board andexpenses paid, in exchange for

five years of service in the Armyafter graduation.

A West Point spokesman onFriday said the academy “cannotconfirm whether anyone duringthat ti me period was nomin ated toWest Point if they chose not topursue completion of the applica-tion process.”

At his news conference onFriday night, Carson said, “it was

an offer to me. It was specificallymade.” He said he could not recallspecifically who made the offer,but he pushed back against theidea that he should be able to doso .

“I don’t remember the names of the people,” Carson said. “It’salmost 50 years ago. I bet youdon’t remember all the peopl e youtalked to 50 years ago.”

Saving lives, from crisis to independence

By Erica WernerTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON — Late nights dealingwith scores of amendments on the House

floor.An invitation extended to the famously

staid Senate majority leader, MitchMcConnell of Kentucky, to appear at anopen mic session.

A conversation so inclusive that “peoplewere shocked,” according to one GOP law-maker, Mike Conaway of Texas.

Welcome t o Paul Ryan’s House.A week into his tenure, the new speaker

look s determined to make good on promisesof openin g up the House of Representativesto participation from all lawmakers — per-haps especially those hardliners on theright who booted out his predecessor, JohnBoehner.

He is inviti ng l awmakers on to a new com-mittee to weigh rule changes in the House.

He’s encouraging their input into process-ing must-pass spending legislation on thefloor, despite s kepticism from the po werfulHouse Appropriations Committee with timeshort before a Dec. 11 deadline to fund the

government or risk a shutdown.And a far-reaching transportation bill on

the House floor this week invol ved votes on126 amendments, including p lenty from thehard-line crowd, though some were defeatedand the House stayed in sess ion until p ast 1a.m. Thursday.

Said Rep. Matt Salmon o f Arizona, a mem-ber of the hard-line Freedom Caucus: “Becareful what you wish for. But in this case alittl e hard work never kill ed anybo dy.”

Indeed Ryan’s approach is drawing unchar-acteristically rave reviews from lawmakerswho spent months grousing underBoehner’s l eadership.

“There’s a bounce in my step now,” saidRep. Phi l Roe, R-Tenn. “People are excited,and they’re excited because Paul really did

open the process up.”Ryan, R-Wis., the 45-year-old former GOP

vice presidential nominee and one of hisparty’s rising young stars, clearly starts outwith a reservoir o f goo d will from lawmak-ers eager to move on from years of dysfunc-tion and fiscal crises. He himself voiced cau-tious optimism on Thursday, calling actionon the highway bill “a good start, it’s a

glimpse of ho w we should be doing the peo-ple’s business.”

At the same time he exercised his po liticalcapital to push an ally, Rep. Kevin Brady of Texas, t o replace him as chairman of th e tax-writing Ways and Means Committee. Passedover was Rep. Pat Tiberi of Ohio, whoremarked that “When the speaker comes outfor your opponent, it’s gonna matter.”

Paul Ryan ushers ina more open House

By Elliott SpagatTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN DIEGO — Customs and BorderProtection staff concluded after an internalreview that agents and officers shouldn’t berequired to wear body cameras, p osit ion ingthe nati on’s largest law enforcement agencyas a counterweight to a growing number of police forces that use the devices to pro-

mote public trust and accountabili ty.The yearlong review cited cost and a host

of other reasons to hold off, according totwo people familiar with the findings whospoke on condition of anonymity becausethe findings have not been made public. Itfound operating cameras may distractagents while they’re performing their jobs,may hurt employee morale, and may beunsuited to the hot, dusty conditions in

which Border Patrol agents often work.The findings, in an August draft report,

are subject to approval by CommissionerR. Gil Kerlikowske, who last yearannounced plans to test cameras at theagency that employs roughly 60,000 peo-ple.

The staff report doesn’t rule out bodycameras but questions their effectivenessand calls for more analysis before they

are widely distributed.Customs and Border Protection said

Friday that it has been transparent about itsbody camera effort from the start, provi dingregular publi c updates.

“The draft report referenced is a dated ver-sion that does not reflect the agency’sdeliberations over the past months or con-clusions of CBP leadership,” it said in astatement.

By Geir MoulsonTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BERLIN — Germany’s interior min-ister said Friday he wants to give manySyrians arriving in the country a formof protection that falls short of full

asylum and wouldn’t allow them tobring relatives to Germany for twoyears.

The proposal by Interior MinisterThomas de Maiziere appeared to catchat least part of Chancellor AngelaMerkel’s governing coalition by sur-prise and created new confusion overthe government’s crisis response.

De Maiziere’s min istry said the i deawas that Syrians who don’t presentauthorit ies with evidence of individualpersecution but are fleeing the civilwar in general should be given “sub-sidiary protection,” something thatfalls short of full asylum status but isgranted to people who face serious

risks in their home-land. While peoplewith full asylum sta-tus get a three-yearresidence permit,those with “sub-sidiary protection”

get a one-year per-mit that can beextended repeatedly.

On Thursday,Merkel and her

coalition partners agreed that peoplewith “subsidiary protection” sh ouldn’tbe able to bring relatives to Germanyfor two years. They didn’t mentionSyrians, and that agreement camealongside a deal to set up new centersto process more quickly people whohave little hope of asylum — such asthose from Balkan countries.

De Maiziere told Deutschlandfunkradio Friday that other countries insimilar situations grant residence “for

a limited time, and we will do this inthe future with the Syrians as well, inthat we tell them: you will get protec-tion, but the so-called ‘subsidiary pro-tection.”’

It wasn’t clear to what extent theconservativ e de Maiziere had discussed

the idea with anyone else in Merkel’scoalitio n. Ralf Stegn er, a deputy leaderof the center-left Social Democrats,said his response was a “clear no.”

Hours later, de Maiziere appeared towalk back from his proposal.

“There is no change in the approvalpractice for Syrian refugees,” he said,adding that a chang e had been pl annedat the beginning of the week.

However, he said, in light of thedecision Thursday on limiting somepeople’s ability to bring relatives toGermany, “there is need for discussio nin the coalition, and so things willnow stay as they are until there is anew decision.”

Russia suspends flightsto Egypt, citing securityBy Jim Heints and Merrit Kennedy THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MOSCOW — In an abrupt turnaround, Russia on Fridaysuspended all passenger flights to Egypt after days of resisting U.S. and British suggestions that a bomb may

have brought down a Russian plane in t he Sinai Penins ula aweek ago.

The move dealt a sharp blow to both countries’ tourismsectors amid fears about security in Egypt.

Russia’s federal aviation agency said airlines would beallowed to send empty planes to bring home travelers, butit was unclear when the Russians in Egypt, estimated tonumber at least 40,000, would be able to return home asplanned from the Red Sea resorts including Sharm el-Sheikh.

Within hours of the Oct. 31 crash of the Metrojet Airbus321-200 that killed all 224 aboard — mostly Russians — afaction of the Islamic State militant group claimed to havedowned it in retaliatio n for Moscow’s airstrikes that b egana month earlier against fig hters in Sy ria. The claim was ini-tially dismissed on the grounds that the IS affiliate inEgypt’s troubled Sinai region didn’t have missiles capableof hitting high-flying planes.

British and U.S. officials, guided primarily by intelli-

gence intercepts and satellite imagery, suggested a bombmight have been aboard the aircraft. The Russians andEgyptians called that premature, saying the investigationhad not concluded.

France 2 TV, citi ng an in vestig ator who had access to o neof the Metrojet plane’s flight recorders, reported that “thesound of an explosion can be distinctly heard during theflight .” France’s BEA accident inv estigati on agency s aid itcould not co nfirm the report.

Mine dams burst in Brazil;two dead, homes covered in mud

MARIANA, Brazil — Rescuers on Friday spirited sur-vivo rs out of a mountainous area of southeastern Brazil th atwas flooded with a sea of viscous, clay-red mud after twodams burst at an iron ore mine. Officials said two peoplewere killed, four were injured and 13 were missing.

The rupture unleashed a mix of water and mining residueon a village 4 miles (7 kilometers) downhill, smotheringthe enclave of Bento Rodrigues. Only about 10 of the vil-lage’s around 200 houses were left standing, and cars andother ob jects were tossed by what survivors described as aneruption of mud.

Residents said no alarms sounded to warn them about thedam break Thursday afternoon , b ut they s crambled for high -er ground after hearing a deafening burst. Officials have no tsaid what caused the breach.

Guilherme de Sa Meneghi n o f the s tate pros ecutor’s officeand Minas Gerais state Gov. Fernando Pimentel said twopeople died, tho ugh the st ate fire department had confirmedonly one death so far. The department said four people wereinjured and another 13 missing, though it warned that thelatter figure could rise.

NEW YORK — Stocks had a mixedreaction Friday to the surprisinglystrong October jobs report asinvestors adjusted to the prospect of higher interest rates as early as next

month.While the major indexes, on the

surface, had a muted reaction to the jobs n umbers, a loo k at the in dividualparts of the market showed investorswere actively reshuffling their po rtfo-lios.

Dividend-paying stocks, which aretypically bought for their higher-than-average payouts when interestrates and bond yields are low, droppedsharply on Friday. The Dow Jonesutility in dex, a basket of 15 dividend-paying utility stocks, sank 4 percent.

In contrast, bank stocks rosesharply as investors bet that higherinterest rates would translate intohigher profits, s ince they may be ableto charge more for lending. JPMorgan

Chase rose $2.02, or 3 percent, to$68.46, Bank of America rose 64cents, or 3.7 percent, to $17.95 andMorgan Stanley rose $1.53, or 4.5percent, to $35.4 1.

“You just need to look at those twogroups and see that the market ispositioning itself for higher interest

rates, ” said Ryan Larson , h ead of equi-ty trading at RBC Global AssetManagement.

Wall Street has been in a months-long guessing game about th e FederalReserve, tryi ng to figure out when thepolicymakers at the nation’s centralbank will finally raise interest rates.

The market turmoil over the summerkept th e Fed from raising rates at theirSeptember meeting, and policymak-ers decided to wait yet again at theirOctober meeting to see more signsthe U.S. economy was on sure foot-ing.

By nearly every account, theOctober jobs report gave the Fedexactly what they wanted. The LaborDepartment said U.S. empl oyers added271,000 jobs, far more than the mosthopeful of expectations, and theunemployment rate dipped to a freshseven-year low of 5 percent, from 5.1percent. The burst of hiring, the mostin 10 months, filled jobs across arange of industries.

“This makes it pretty likely the Fed

will raise rates in December,” saidPriscilla Hancock, a global fixedincome strategist for J.P. MorganAsset Management.

Fed fund futures, which are securi-ties that bet on which way the Fedwill move interest rates, now show a74 p ercent chance of the central bank

raising rates in December, up from 60percent on Wednesday and up fromwell below 50 percent as recently aslate summer. But the size of the pre-dicted interest rate increase remainsmodest. Investors expect interestrates will go from their current 0-to-0.25 percent levels to 0.5 percent.

“The Fed is still going to beextremely accommodative forinvesto rs. A rate hik e in December isremoving those emergency measuresthat the bank put into pl ace during th efinancial crisis, ” Hancock s aid.

The Dow Jones industrial averagerose 46.90 points, or 0.3 percent, toclose at 17,910.33. The Standard &Poor’s 500 index fell less than apoint to 2,099.20 and the Nasdaqcomposite rose 19.38 points, or 0.4percent, to close 5,147. 12.

The bond market’s reaction to the jo bs number was far more vo lat il ethan the stock market’s, with bondprices sinking as investors scaledback th eir holdings of Treasuries andsafer investments.

The benchmark 10-year U.S.Treasury note rose to a yield of 2.32percent from 2.23 percent onThursday, a big move for that securi-ty. The two-year note jumped to ayield of 0.89 p ercent, a five-year highfor that note, from 0.83 percent theday before.

Stocks end mixed as market factors interest rate hike

While markets tumbled inthe summer, many savers held tight

NEW YORK — When fear was p umping through the stockmarket this summer, most retirement savers kept theircool.

So say figures from Fidelity, which could see how indi-

vidual investors in general behaved by look ing at it s 13. 5million 401(k) and 6 million IRA accounts as stocks tum-bled in New York, Shanghai and places in between duringthe turbulent third quarter. The Standard & Poor’s 500 indexsank more than 10 percent within a week during August,drivin g th e index to it s worst quarter in four years.

Even amid the tumult, only 4.9 percent of Fidelity’s401(k) account holders made changes to how their nesteggs were invested, such as selling stocks to move intobonds or cash. Workers also diverted more of their pay-checks into their 401 (k) accounts than t hey did a year earli-er, not less : an average of 8.2 percent of th eir pay last quar-ter, up from 8 percent.

“People are starting to get the message,” says JeanneThompson, vice president at Fidelity Investments. “Duringvolatility, many ti mes the best course of action is none atall.”

Square boosts expected IPO

value by 47 percent in rocky marketNEW YORK — Square, the six-year-old company knownfor its white, cube-shaped credit and debit card readers thatplug into smartphones, is bo osting it s planned initial pub-lic offering value by 47 p ercent in what has become a toughmarket for new companies trying to raise cash.

The San Francisco fin ancial-services st artup was foundedand is led by Jack Dorsey, who co-founded Twitter andrecently returned to lead that company again. Dorsey, 38,who owns 24.4 percent of Square, did not give up the CEO

job at Square when he returned to h is fo rmer company.The traditional manner of valuing a company, done by

multiplying the total outstanding shares by the price of each share, puts Square’s worth at $4.2 bill ion i f the top endof the pricing range is used. That is a substantially lowerthan a $6 billio n valuation by the private investors in con-nection with the $150 million Series E fundraising inOctober 2014, according to the website crunchbase.com,which tracks investments in tech companies.

WASHINGTON — U.S. consumerborrowing jumped by a record amountin September, driven higher by biggains in borrowing for auto and stu-dent loans.

The Federal Reserve said Friday thatconsumer borrowing increased $28.9billion, the largest one-monthincrease on record going back to1941. It followed a gain of $16 billion

in August and pushed total consumer

borrowing to an all-time high of $3 .5trillion.

The big September gain reflected a$22.2 billion increase in the categorythat covers auto loans and studentloans and a $6.7 billion increase incredit card borrowing. It was thebiggest increase in auto and studentloans since July 2011.

Economists believe consumerspending, which accounts for 70 per-cent of economic activity, will remain

strong in coming months. A healthy

labor market is helping give con-sumers confidence to spend andfinance part of their purchases by tak-ing on more debt. The LaborDepartment reported earlier Friday t hatthe economy created 271,000 jobs inSeptember, the most this year, push-ing the unemployment rate down to aseven-year low of 5 percent.

Economists are looking for a strongconsumer sector to help offset softspots in other parts of the economy.\

WASHINGTON — The Obamaadministration rejected a Canadianenergy giant’s application to build

the Keystone XL pipeline on Friday,three individuals familiar with thedecision said, capping a seven-yearsaga that spiraled into one of thebiggest environmental flashpoints of Barack Obama’s presidency.

Obama was to announce the deci-sion at the White House after meetingwith Secretary of State John Kerry.The individuals confirming Obama’sdecision weren’t authorized to com-ment publicly and spoke on conditionof anonymity.

Killing the pipeline allows Obamato claim aggressive action on the

environment, potentially strengthen-ing his hand as world leaders prepareto finalize major global climate pactwithin weeks that Obama hopes willbe a crowning jewel for his environ-mental legacy. Yet it also puts the

president in a direct confrontationwith Republicans and energy advo-cates that will almost surely spillover into the 2016 presidential elec-tion.

Although the project is dead fornow, Obama’s rejection will likelynot be the last word for Keystone XL.

The pipeline’s backers are expectedto challenge his decision i n court, andthe Republican-controlled Congressmay try to override the president,although tho se efforts have previous-ly failed. The project could also get afresh look in 2017 if a Republican

wins the White House and invitesTransCanada to reapply.

Another open question is whetherTransCanada will try to recoup themore than $2 billion it says it hasalready spent on the project’s devel-

opment. Earlier in the year, the com-pany left the door open to suing theU.S. gov ernment under NAFTA.

“This is a day of celebration,” saidBill McKibben of the environmentalgroup 350.org. One of the pipeline’smost vocal opponents, McKibbensaid the decision gives Obama “newstature as an environmental leader.”

Energy groups immediately blastedthe decision, arguing that Obama wasdiscounting years of analysis by fed-eral agencies that they said provedKeyston e could be built to be safe andenvironmentally sound.

OAKLAND — Stephen Curry led the wayonce more with 34 points and 10 assists, hissupporting cast did plenty to take the pressureoff, and the defending champio n Golden StateWarriors beat the Denver Nuggets 119-104 on

Friday night to stay unbeaten.Harrison Barnes scored 21 points forGolden State and Festus Ezeli had a career-high16 points to go with seven rebounds and twoblocked shots.

At 6-0, Golden State is off to the franchise’sbest start in its West Coast era dating to 1962-63. The Warriors are three victories fromtying the Philadelphia team’s 9-0 start in1960-61.

Klay Thompson added 18 points, sixrebounds and five assists and Draymond Greenadded 12 points, nine rebounds and eight

assists as Golden Stateextended its franchise-record home unbeatenstreak to 22 games.

Danilo Gallinari ledDenver with 25 points,nine on free throws in theNuggets’ third straight

loss at Golden State andsixth in nine games.Jameer Nelson’s jumper

with 3:44 left pulled Denver within 10 pointsafter the Warriors had led by as many as 32.

Ezeli, filling in for the injured AndrewBogut, dunked on two st raight second-quarterpossessions with a blocked shot in betweenand the Warriors’ 28 first-half assists were afranchise record for any half.

This team has been t ested just once so far, inWednesday’s 112-108 win against theClippers — and certainly looks like a group

poised for another special season even if thisone’s not even two weeks old.

NBA MVP Curry has 30 poin ts in five o f hisfirst six games, th e first Warriors player to doso since Hall of Famer Rick Barry in 1974-75.Hall of Famer Chris Mullin was the last play-er with 25 in each of the season’s first sixgames (1990-91).

Curry made a 3-pointer in his 79th straightgame, matching Michael Adams for the third-longest streak in NBA history.

Curry knocked down 8 of 15 3-pointers forGolden State, which had opened defense of it stitle with five straight games against WesternConference playoff teams from last season.

Denver beat Golden State at Oracle Arena114-103 in th e preseason on Oct. 13, but theNuggets lost their fourth in five under formerWarriors assistant and first-year coachMichael Malone.

LetdownsInterim coach Luke Walton figures it won’t

always be going quite this smoothly for thereigning champs.

Golden State showed that in the second half.“It’s just natural to have a letdown, and I’m

sure at some point throughout this long sea-son we’ll have one,” Walton said. “It’s up tothe staff to help prepare the guys for every-thing and it’s up to the players to want it justas bad as they did last year. From my view,they do right now. They talk about it all thetime, they want more championships.They’re not happy with just the one that wehave.”

By Janie McCauley THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SANTA CLARA — Blaine Gabbert is backon t he field for a second chance with all theskeptics figuring he can’t begin to fix aproblem that goes far beyond the quarter-back position.

Colin Kaepernick had his opportunitiesand then some for San Francisco, and he’sheaded to the bench after failing to deliverweek after week.

The turmoil inside Levi’s Stadium hit newlevels this week as the 49ers (2-6) preparedfor the Falcons with a new man under centerin Gabbert behind a shaky offensive linethat has done little to protect the quarter-back.

“It’s always kind of a funny deal in theNFL when you hear your number called

because you never knowwhen it’s going to be,”Gabbert said.

“And that’s kind of whyyou always got to stick toyour routine and justalways be preparedbecause, l ike th ey always

say, you’re one play awayfrom playing and you’reone play away from not

playing.”Dan Quinn’s Atlant a team (6-2) should like

its chances of bouncing back from lastweek’s three-point loss to Tampa Bay inwhich the Buccaneers capitalized on theFalcons’ mistakes.

This hardly looks like a rematch of theNFC championship game the 49ers won inJanuary 2013 at Atlanta on the way to theSuper Bowl — but rather more of a mismatch.

Bay Area Sports Guy, the Web site thatfirst reported the Niners’ quarterback movelate Monday, said the team consideredbenching Kaepernick last week but wantedGabbert to debut at home against a “weak”Falcons defense.

Yes, Atlanta saw that.To which the Falcons posted on Twitter:

“oh.”That might just provide the opposingteam the extra motivation it needs. The49ers might do the rest.

“I have heard it and what I can say is wedon’t allow anyone else to help get usready,” Quinn said.

Atlanta has committed six turnovers and17 pen alties in two games, and Quinn wantsto clean th ings up in a hurry.

Former first-round pick Gabbert will makehis first start sin ce Week 5 of the 20 13 sea-son with Jacksonville.

Gabbert has lost h is past 1 0 starts sincebeating Indianapolis on Sept. 23, 2012,and his teams are 5-22 in his career as astarter.

“We all just embraced Blaine,” centerMarcus Martin said.

Atlanta lost playing the last game atCandlestick Park in December 2013 .

“We’ve changed a lot since that game,”quarterback Matt Ryan said.Falcons safety William Moore (groin)

could miss h is secon d straight game and twomore starters, cornerbacks Robert Alford(groin) and Desmond Trufant (lower back)also h ave missed practice time or have beenlimited by injuries this week. Alford andTrufant left last week’s loss to Tampa Baywith their injuries. Kemal Ishmael startedfor Moore last week, while rookie JalenCollins and Phillip Adams filled in at cor-nerback.

Can Gabbert test questionable Falcons’ defense?

PITTSBURGH — Oakland gave thePittsburgh Steelers fits during the Raiders’decade-plus run as a comically hot mess.

Imagine th e issues that might crop up nowthat Oakland might be .. . go od?

A victory on the road Sunday would give th eRaiders (4-3) their best record at the midwaypoint since 2001 and serve notice that first-year head coach Jack Del Rio’s rebuildingprogram is well ahead of schedule.

“This is a different team,” Oakland runningback Latavius Murray said. “I won’t say com-pletely different, but there are new faces andthe atmosphere has changed around here. It’sgreat what we have going on now, but wewant to continue doing what we’re doing.”

Namely, playing with a swagger not seensince Jon Gruden was scowling on the side-

line instead of analyzing in the TV booth.

Quarterback Derek Carr is t aking care of the

ball. Murray is ripping through holes andageless Charles Woodson is picking off pass-es as if it was still th e late-90s.

“We can’t think of it as just a biggermoment or smaller moment,” Carr said. “Forus it’s just we have the Pittsburgh Steelers attheir place and that’s never easy for any-body.”

Well, maybe anybody but the Raiders.Oakland is 4-1 against Pittsburgh s ince 2006and 43-103 against the rest of the league. DelRio and Carr expect a playoff-type atmos-phere, and in some ways it could be an elimi-nation game for the Steelers (4-4).

Injuries have decimated Pittsburgh sincetrainin g camp with running back Le’VeonBell the latest to head to injured reserve aftertearing the MCL in his right knee last weekagainst Cincinnati.

DeAngelo Williams filled in capably in

September while Bell sat out two games for

violating the league’s substance abuse policyand his 4.9 yards per carry rank in the top 10in th e league.

Coach Mike Tomlin has preached faith inWilliams, and it will be tested as the 32-year-old returns to a feature role at an age whenmost backs are slowing down. That’s not anoption if Pittsburgh wants to reach the post-season.

“Listen, he’s not Le’Veon and he’s notgoing to try to be Le’Veon, ” Roethlisb ergersaid. “But he’s DeAngelo and he’s done it inthi s league for a while now and he’s done it ata high level.”

Other things to look for as the Raiders tryfor consecutive wins in the Eastern time zonefor the first time since 2002.

Roethlisberger wasn’t exactly sharp in hisfirst game back after missing a month with a

sprained knee. He threw three picks against

the Bengals, including one that set up

Cincinnati’s game-winning drive. Still, he’shardly backing o ff the idea set forth by offen-sive coordinator Todd Haley in the preseasonthat Pittsburgh can average 30 points a game.

“I don’t see why anyth ing has changed, andit shouldn’t,” Roethlisberger said.

The Raiders have jumped on t eams early thepast two weeks. They scored on their firstseven drives against San Diego two weeksago and followed that with scores on six of the first seven drives last week against theJets. Only a missed field goal by SebastianJanikowski marred the first three quartersagains t New York. But despit e the lofty num-bers, the Raiders believe they can do more.

“We’re doing some good things,” Murraysaid. “We need to continue to build on that.There’s still things we leave out on the fieldand things we can get better at. We keep

working to be great.”

BOULDER, Colo. — This Stanford quar-terback doesn’t have NFL teams hoping tofinish bad enough t o draft hi m with the No.1 pick. Or a “Horrible For Hogan” type slo -gan like there was during the “Suck ForLuck” sweepstakes a few years ago.

Still, Kevin Hogan is on the verge of holding a hallowed place in program histo-ry. He can pass Andrew Luck as the win-ning est st arting QB at Stanford on Saturdaywhen the ninth-ranked Cardinal (7-1, 6-0Pac-12, No. 11 CFP) travel to Colorado (4-5, 1-4).

A fourth-year starter, Hogan has 31 v icto-ries, which is tied with Luck for the topspot . That’s more than oth er Cardinal lumi-

naries to play the position — familiarnames like Jo hn Elway and Jim Plunkett.

Unlike Luck, he doesn’t have the NFLwatching his every throw, hoping to drafthim with the top pick. Although, Hogan’steam sure understands his importance.

“He doesn’t blink an eye. He’s got ice inhis veins,” said sophomore tailbackChristian McCaffrey, who’s from Denverand the son of former Denver Broncosreceiver Ed McCaffrey. “He’s helped us outso much.”

Hogan and Stanford need to be virtuallyperfect over the final month to have any so rtof chance at crashing the College FootballPlayoff party. Since a season-opening lossto Northwestern, the Cardinal have won byan average of 18.6 points. However, theynarrowly escaped Washington State 30-28

last weekend when t he Cougars missed a 43-yard field goal as time expired.

In Hogan, the Buffaloes face a quarterbackwho has 14 TD toss es and two more rushing.

“The thing that he does really well is heunderstands where he is s upposed to go withthe ball,” Colorado coach Mike MacIntyresaid. “He gets them in the right protectionsand in the right running plays.”

It’s simple, really: Call McCaffrey’s num-ber. A lot. A dangerous tailback and receiv-ing threat, he also returns kicks and punt.The 6-foot, 201-po und McCaffrey leads t henation with 244. 3 all-purpose yards a game.

“I don’t remember a guy that can do asmany things as he does,” MacIntyre said.“He’s just a really g ood football player.”

Here are thing s to k now as Colorado hostsStanford and tries to break a 20-game skid

against ranked teams:

LopsidedStanford has outscored Colorado 96-7 in

two games since the Buffaloes joined thePac-12 in 2011. “They play hard, the wayyou want your team to p lay,” Stanford coachDavid Shaw said. “The mistakes you make,they’re going to capitalize.”

RankledThe Buffaloes haven’t beaten a ranked

team since Oct. 17, 2009, when theyknocked off Kansas, 34-30. “We want toplay as clo se to a perfect game as we possi -bly can,” said Colorado quarterback SefoLiufau, who’s 232 yards away from breakingthe school’s all-time passing mark held byCody Hawkins (7,409 from 2007-10).

Burlingame’s Laipeli Palu, left, rushed for a game-high 95 yards on 23 carries.

the highlights of Burlingame’s season.Facing second-and-goal from the 10, theBears advanced the ball t o t he Burlingame 1-yard line on a 9-yard run by the PAL BayDivision’s second leading rusher JordanMims.

But th e Panthers defense was up to the task

to keep M-A from crossing the goal line onthe following two plays.

Burlingame senior l inebacker Will Co stelligot in on the third-down stop on a dive playto Mims. Then on fourth down, defensivetackles Alex Furr and Andrew Friedebergwalled out fullback Stavro Papadakis with anassist from defensive back Cole Friedlander.

Costelli, a third-year varsity player, saidthe stand is tops on his all-time highlightreel.

“For me, it’s got to be No. 1,” BurlingameCostelli said. “That was huge.”

Furr concurred.

“By far the best,” Furr said.The stop sent the Panthers into th e halftime

locker room up 7-0. The Panthers’ offensemay not have put up a spectacular perform-

ance — running back Laipeli Palu managed agame-high of 95 yards on 23 carries — butthey controlled the tempo of the game, andgrinded out two gutsy s coring drives.

“That’s what we do,” Philipopoulos said.“We run the ball, try to control the clock andkeep them on the sidelines.”

Burlingame dominated time of possessionin the game at 27:10, and really hit the breaksin the second half after going up by twoscores.

“They were able to run the ball consist entlyenough and they beat us up with their fronteight on defense,” M-A head coach AdhirRavipati said.

The Panthers got on the board in the firstquarter on a 10-play, 52-yard drive using a

three-prong running attack with a strong fin-ish from senior Joevani Garcia. The 5-7 sen-ior pounded the ball across the go al line witha 2-yard sweep around the right side to stakeBurlingame to a 7-0 lead.

Then on their first poss ession of the secondhalf, t he Panthers trekked even further for aneight-play, 84-yard scoring drive. M-Aseemed like it was finally gathering momen-tum, keeping the Burlingame rush in checkand forcing the Panthers into a third-and-12look from their own 37 -yard line. But quarter-

back Cam Kelaita peeled off a long, toweringpass down the left side to senior CooperGindraux, who outleapt the M-A cornerbackto make the receptio n 20 y ards shy of the endzone; the st ealthy receiver then broke a tack-le and juked around the M-A safety for thescore.

The Burlingame defense then stuck M-A totwo consecutive three-and-outs. The Bears’next first down didn’t come until afterBurlingame maintained a drive that ate upmore than half of the fourth quarter. By thetime M-A got the ball back with 5:55 in thegame, quarterback Miles Conrad led his teamdownfield with completions of 13, 16, 5 and3 yards. But then on third-and-10 from theBurlingame 27-yard line, Conrad forced a passinto the middle that turned into a backbreak-ing interception by Burlingame senior VinnyFerrari.

“We tried to get some momentum and confi-dence and we just didn’t,” Ravipati said.

Mims totaled 73 rushing y ards on 11 carriesto surpass the 1,000-yard plateau in the

junior’s first full vars ity season.

For Burlingame, th e shutout marks its firstin PAL Bay Divisi on pl ay since Oct. 12, 2007when the Panthers battled to a 0-0 tie withTerra Nova. The Panthers’ had one othershutout this season in nonleague play with a30-0 win over Everett Alvarez. Their lastleague shutout was in 2013 against archrivalSan Mateo in PAL Ocean Division play to captheir last overall PAL league title.

EUGENE, Ore. — His injury trouble behindhim, Oregon quarterback Vernon Adams is backto having fun.

The heralded senior transfer got off to a dis-appointing s tart with the Ducks after breakinghis index finger in the opener against his for-mer team, Eastern Washington. Adams strug-gled with the in jury in subsequent games beforehe was relegated to the sideline to heal whilebackup Jeff Lockie and newcomer Taylor Aliestepped in.

Adams returned two weeks ago againstWashington, throwing for 272 yards and twotouchdowns in a 26-20 Oregon victory. LastThursday, he threw for 315 yards and four TDsin a 61-55 triple-overtime win at Arizona State.

Adams was named the Pac-12 offensivePlayer of the Week for his performance. He’lllook to continue the comeback on Saturdaynight when the Ducks host California.

“It was definitely the best game I played herefun-wise,” he said. “It was really fun for myself

and the team, I think. We had a great timeenjoying that but now we’re moving on toCal.”

Oregon (5-3, 3-2), with losses to MichiganState, Utah and Washington State this season,sits in second place in the Pac-12 North s tand-ings with the Cougars. The Ducks will have tocatch No. 9 Stanford (7-1, 6-0) if they ho pe to

defend their Pac-12 title, but time is runningshort.

Oregon v isits the Cardinal next week.

Like the Ducks, Cal (5-3, 2-3) needs onemore victory to be bowl eligible, but theGolden Bears have lost three straight after apromising 5-0 start.

“We have to come out this week with our hairon fire and want this one like we haven’t want-ed any oth er game, and that’s how they’ll get it.Because I know they want this one just as bad,”defensiv e lineman Mustafa Jalil said. “ActuallyI take that back. They don’t want this one asbad as we do. This game means a lot to us.”

Other things to consider when the GoldenBears visit the Ducks on Saturday:

SO MANY YARDS: Cal junior quarterback

Jared Goff threw for 272 yards and two touch-downs in last weekend’s 27-21 loss to USC,which put him in the 10,000 yards-passingclub. Goff has 10,018 yards passing and is the92nd player in FBS history to reach the mark.He’s also got a school-record 75 touchdownpasses.

Oregon coach Mark Helfrich said this week

that he met with Goff on a recruiting visit yearsback. The teenager was wearing a Cal sweat-shirt.

“Never a good sign,” Helfrich said.

HistoryThe series hasn’t gone Cal’s way of late.

Oregon has a six-game winning streak over theGolden Bears, who haven’t defeated the Duckssince a 26-16 v ictory in Strawberry Canyon in2008. Oregon has outscored California 273-105 over that span.

Royce rollsOregon sophomore running back Royce

Freeman has amassed 1,109 yards rushing thisseason, becoming the fourth RB in school hi s-

tory to have back-to-back 1, 000-yard seasons.He ranks eighth nationally with 138.6 yards agame.

“He’s a great back, a step above what he didlast year. They use him really well for what theydo,” Jalil said. “Big back, hard running but Ithink we have a pretty b ig defense that’s a littlebit harder hitter than he is. ”

Last trip to EugeneIn 2013, Goff went into the game against

Oregon as the nation’s leader with an average of more than 435 yards passing a game, but aftercompleting just three of six passes for 11 yardsin the first quarter, he was replaced by ZachKline. The Golden Bears lost 55-16.

But what Goff remembers most was the rain.

“I think they said it was the worst they’d everseen. It was the worst rain that I’ve ever seen.I’m excited to go back up there and have anoth-er chance in Autzen and have a chance to dosomething special and hopefully get a win,” hesaid.

By the way, the forecast calls for rain onSaturday.
