Infection rate slows in Solano

WASHINGTON â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Justice Department hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t uncovered significant voter fraud that would change the outcome of the presidential election, Attorney General William Barr said, delivering a blow to President Donald Trumpâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unsubstantiated claims of a rigged vote. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To date, we have not seen fraud on a scale that could have effected

a different outcome in the election,â&#x20AC;? Barr said in an interview published Tuesday by The Associated Press.

Barr had ordered U.S. attorneys across the country to find out if there was significant voting fraud following repeated claims by Trump and his allies, who continue to cast doubt on President-elect Joe Bidenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Nov. 3 victory.

Trump nears â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;checkmateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; stage in challenge bids Tribune Content Agency President Donald Trumpâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s path to reversing the election result has nearly closed after all the key battleground states certified their vote totals and took steps to appoint electors ready to formalize Joe Bidenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s victory.

FAIRFIELD â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The trial for the Rocklin man accused in the death of CHP Officer Kirk Griess as well as a 49-year-old Vallejo resident is scheduled July 13.

The trial date was set Monday when Sean Matthew Walker, 39, charged with two counts

of gross vehicular manslaughter, appeared before Judge Tim P. Kam in Solano County Superior Court.

A trial management conference is set for July 7.

Prosecutors assert that Walker was driving at a high rate of speed and was on his cellphone when he crossed over several westbound Interstate

Also killed in the incident near the Manuel Campos Parkway exit in Fairfield was Jaime Bueza Manuel.

Griess, a motorcycle officer known as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hollywoodâ&#x20AC;? among his CHP colleagues, was 46.

Walker is out of jail on a $90,000 bond, court records state.

The case has been delayed, in part, by the Covid-19 pandemic, which pushed one court date from April to June of this year.

Christmas trees create memories that will tell us, if we listen, the stories of our lives.

My earliest Christmas tree memory is from when I was 6.

My parents were divorced. My mother had remarried. For some reason she decided we should get, not a real tree, but a fake monstrosity. It looked like a TV antenna covered in tin foil.

The day after Christmas, I boarded a Greyhound bus, waved goodbye to my mother and the ugly tree, and went to spend a lovely week with my dad on his parents’ farm.

When I told my grandmother

about the fake tree, she said, “Your mother works too hard.”

The next morning, she woke me early. “Come see your Christmas tree,” she said, pointing to the window.

Snow was falling, turning everything white, except for one bright splash of red. At the top of a hemlock, a redbird sat perched, singing a birdsong version of “O Holy Night.”

I wish you could’ve heard it.

I remember other Christmas tree stories, too: n The Scotch pine where I found my 2-year-old hiding after he’d pulled all the bows off the gifts and stuck them on his head. n The Noble fir my kids and I decorated with their dad on our last Christmas together, a few weeks before he lost a four-year, hard-fought battle with cancer. n The fake spruce I bought years later after I moved with my new husband to Las Vegas,

he other day, as my wife and I were walking our dog, I asked her to help me think through possible topics for this column.

For my last column I wrote a somewhat academic piece on the economic benefits of public education, but now that we’re into the holiday season, writing another scholarly article just didn’t resonate. So, we came to the idea of writing something a little more relevant to the spirit of the holidays.

As we walked, I started to reflect on the educators who had a transformational and deep influence on my personal and professional life. I also reflected on a wonderful column written by Tony Wade a few months ago in which he shared a touching story about Mr. Mackie, a custodian, who worked for years at Crystal Middle School.

Wade described how Mr. Mackie’s kindness and generosity influenced the lives of countless kids over the years.

By the end of the walk, I had assembled a mental list of the “Mr. Mackies” in my life. I quickly realized that the list was way too long for a short newspaper column. But the larger, more important point for me was the realization that a great many people had contributed deeply to my academic and profes-

sional journey. And principal’s while I’d love to secretary or the think that a single head custodian.”

I wonder what story we will tell in years to come about the tree we brought home today?

I hope it will be a story about a family that did its best in the midst of a pandemic to stay safe and well, to keep connected with friends and loved ones, and to celebrate like never before the promise of Christmas: Life.

Our tree doesn’t look like much yet. But we’ll cover it with white lights, red birds and lots of memories. It will tell a good story that I’ll want to retell.

What story will your tree tell this Christmas? I’d love to hear it. Here’s hoping it will be your best Christmas story ever.

Napa County seeks proposals for 3 Berryessa resort sites Todd R. Hansen thansen@dailyrepublic.net

LAKE BERRYESSA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Napa County, just before Thanksgiving, released a request for proposals to potential concessionaires for three Lake Berryessa resort locations.

The 36-page document, released Nov. 24, identifies the areas of interest as Monticello Shores, Spanish Flat and Steele Canyon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Napa County has recently entered into a master partnership agreement with (the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation) to once again assume control, over time, of all seven concession areas. The distribution of this RFP is an effort to identify and secure appropriate developers and operators for three of the concession areas,â&#x20AC;? the request document states. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Successful respondents will have demonstrated the ability to design, finance, construct, manage and operate recreational and/or hospitality projects of similar scale, complexity and character to those proposed.â&#x20AC;?

The request for proposal paints Lake Berryessa as a Tahoe-like destination that is within 100 miles of 10 million regional residents. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is a large freshwater lake with 165 miles of shoreline and 20,700 surface acres. It is characterized by great natural beauty and is a destination for numerous types of outdoor recreational activities. Emphasis in the past has been on boating and camping, but a much wider variety of activities seem appropriate for the future,â&#x20AC;? the request document states. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lake Berryessa could represent one of the most untapped opportunities for quality lake-oriented resort development in all of California.â&#x20AC;?

The document also emphasizes the proximity to Napa Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tourism region, but outlines a 13-county primary market area that includes Solano County.

A Northern California survey, with an emphasis on the primary market area, and with 3,200 responses, noted that 90% had visited Napa County in the past five years; 90% had visited Lake Berryessa in the past and 50% had stayed overnight there.

It found 83% participated in motorboating; 73% in other types of boating;

In brief Vacavilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Festival of the Trees ends Friday

and 85% in hiking, walking, picnicking or other types of outdoor recreation.

Of those who responded, 92% had incomes over $50,000, and 54% had incomes over $100,000.

Sixteen percent lived in Napa County; 28% elsewhere in the North Bay; 34% in the South Bay: 10% in the Sacramento Delta region; and 12% lived outside the primary marketing area. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Results of the survey were very positive in regard to: (1) awareness and perception of Lake Berryessa; and (2) potential size of future demand . . . It also was apparent that the future use of Lake Berryessa will expand if a wider range of outdoor recreational activities were available, especially those that are: (1) nature-based, family oriented and/ or innovative; and (2) in harmony with the lifestyle of todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s participants in outdoor recreation. These themes were consistent throughout the survey,â&#x20AC;? the document states.

Among the items listed by respondents as important were: convenience grocery stores (96%); restaurants and other food services (93%); hiking, biking, walking trails (91%); equipment rentals (87%); taverns/bars (75%); childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s activities (75%); defined areas for kayaking, canoeing, sailboarding, paddleboarding (74%); evening entertainment, music, dancing and movies (73%); special events such as boat races, car clubs, triathlons, fishing tournaments (71%); and defined areas for jet skiing and wave running (71%).

Other points of interest included a variety of accommodation options, outdoor concert venues, horseback trails; off-road features; shuttles to the Napa wineries; and organized birdwatching tours.

A wildlife safari park, water park and spa-related facilities also were on the long wish list identified through the survey.

A number of these activities Solano County tourist officials could tap into, such as Suisun Valley wineries, and in time, the Pacific Flyway Center.

Concessionaire selection and negotiations are scheduled for February and March, and in April, the county and Bureau of Reclamation would award the concession contracts.

VACAVILLE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual Festival of the Trees wraps up Friday.

The event raises money for Opportunity House, the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s homeless shelter This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event is online. Prizes are on display at the Opportunity House Thrift Store, 107 Peabody Road. Hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Fairfield-Suisun

Officers responded at about 9 p.m. Saturday to the 100 block of Simonton Street for a call of shots fired. They found evidence of a shooting but no victim, the department reported in a statement released Monday.

Solano Resource Conservation District focuses on virtual education Daily Republic Staff

drnews@dailyrepublic.net

FAIRFIELD — The Solano Resource Conservation District returns to Suisun Marsh next week to continue live-streaming virtual field trips for Solano County sixth-graders participating in the district’s 12th year of the Suisun Marsh Watershed Education Program.

The district has had more than 1,300 participants since September and is expecting to engage another 900 students by early March.

“We have been participating in Solano RCD’s Suisun Marsh Program for many years, and we were very glad that they adapted it for distance learning so that this year’s students could still participate,” said Robin Shishido-Bailey, a sixth-grade science teacher at Benicia Middle School, in a press release.

“While no virtual experience can ever replace students actually exploring the marsh in person, the RCD’s educators helped make it feel as if we were right there exploring alongside them.”

Shishido-Bailey said the program was a highlight for her students during an otherwise difficult time in their lives.

“Their weekly engagement and reflections about what they learned showed me that they really valued this experience, and that they really needed it, too,” she said in the press release.

Earlier this year, the Solano County Water Agency, the cities and

The next step was adapting the program curriculum and training environmental educators to deliver digital content.

“Our team of educators strive to do their best to engage with students through virtual adventures to our parks and open spaces,” said Marianne Butler, of the conservation district, in a press release. “They teach with their full heart and work to connect with students on a level they have never had to before.”

Butler is the environmental education director for the conservation district.

To help keep the virtual experience engaging, program educators implement chat boxes, games, polls, mindfulness activi-

ties and movement to help students process what they are learning and interact at levels in which they are most comfortable.

On the field trip, students also get to step away from the computer and explore their own surroundings, nature journal, and write poetry. Back on screen, they may find themselves getting excited over a glimpse of a curious river otter poking its head out of the water or a great egret taking flight as a train passes by.

For more than a decade, the Solano Resource Conservation District has provided thousands of Solano County K-12 students a variety of in-person water education programs featuring hands-on lessons, field trips and preparatory activities.

Things changed in March 2020 when the Covid-19 pandemic and subsequent shelter-athome orders went into effect. The agency began

looking for ways to adapt its education programs for the 2020-2021 school year by surveying teachers, collaborating with school district administrators and participating in virtual teaching workshops.

“Our programs have adapted drastically in response to Covid-19 and this year has been in flux with program changes occurring each week,” Butler said in the press release. “However, our core messages have not changed. We continue to teach students about our local water resources in an interactive way and rouse curiosity about our outdoor spaces. We want students to be life-long observers of our natural world as well as stewards of local natural treasures like Suisun Marsh.”

The Solano Resource Conservation District is a nonregulatory special district to the state of California that works to protect, restore and enhance Solano County watersheds through its education, restoration and partnership efforts. Its environmental education programs serve more than 10,000 students annually with funding support from Solano County Water Agency, the cities and county of Solano, Fairfield-Suisun Sewer District, Vallejo Flood and Wastewater District, Vallejo Water Conservation Program, the Greater Vallejo Recreation District, California State Parks Habitat Conservation Fund and Potrero Hills Landfill.

PG&E posts plans to sell Winters natural gas storage site Daily Republic Staff

drnews@dailyrepublic.net

WINTERS — Pacific Gas and Electric Company announced Tuesday that it plans to sell its Pleasant Creek natural gas storage field.

The Pleasant Creek field is the smallest of four underground natural gas storage fields owned wholly or partly by PG&E. With a natural gas inventory capacity of 2.3 billion cubic feet the Pleasant Creek field accounts for about 2% of PG&E’s total storage inventory capacity, the company said in a press release to announce

the planned sale.

A successful sale will allow ratepayers to avoid decommissioning and remediation costs, according to the press release.

The Pleasant Creek storage field lies partly within the city of Winters and partly in unincorporated Yolo County. A previous owner discovered the field and operated it from 1948 to 1958 as a natural gas production field. PG&E acquired the field in 1958 and began operating it as a natural gas storage field in 1960.

The storage field encompasses approx-

In brief

imately 400 acres, an additional 2,167 acres of subsurface rights, six injection and withdrawal wells, compression and processing facilities, as well as pipeline infrastructure that connects the field to PG&E’s gas transmission system, the company reports in the press release.

Several factors led PG&E to a determination that the Pleasant Creek field is no longer a necessary asset for providing safe, reliable natural gas service to customers, including PG&E’s assessment of future gas

VALLEJO — Police this week announced the death of a woman who was shot in mid-November near a local middle school.

The 21-year-old Richmond resident was shot Nov. 12 and died the next day, police reported in a case update Monday.

Vallejo police officers responded shortly after 5:35 p.m. to reports of a shooting on the 3600 block of Georgia Street near Hogan Middle School. More calls soon came in about the location of the victim a few blocks away on the 100 block of Cottonwood Drive.

Officers who arrived there found the woman had been shot at least one time.

The shooting remains under investigation. Anyone with information about the case is asked to call Detective Scott A. Yates at 648-4533.

PG&E, in its 2019 Gas Transmission and Storage Rate Case at the California Public Utilities Commission, proposed a reliability-focused storage service strategy, which was approved. This proposal included the sale or decommissioning of the Pleasant Creek field.

The proposed sale is not related to bankruptcy, the company said in the press release. PG&E emerged from bankruptcy in July.

DAILY REPUBLIC — Wednesday, December 2, 2020 A5

Biden stokes first nomination fight with selection for budget chief Tribune Content Agency President-elect Joe Biden is setting up his first confirmation fight with Senate Republicans by choosing Neera Tanden – a sometimes-acerbic Democratic policy wonk with an often-partisan Twitter feed – to serve as his White House budget chief.

Tanden, the tough-minded head of an influential Democratic think tank, is a veteran Hillary Clinton aide seasoned in Washington battles over Obamacare and Donald Trump’s presidency.

Her selection Monday as Biden’s nominee to lead the Office of Management and Budget drew swift objections from GOP senators who could block her confirmation, with Senator John Cornyn of Texas calling her selection “radioactive.”

“Most Republicans are open to any reasonable nominee by the incoming administration,” he told reporters on Capitol Hill. “We’re prepared to try to work with the vice president once the vote’s certified, but she certainly strikes me as his worst nominee so far.”

Republicans have so far refrained from voicing outright opposition to Biden’s other intended nominees, including former Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen to be Treasury secretary, or Antony Blinken for secretary of State. Yet they are drawing the line with Tanden, 50, who will be formally introduced to the public along with other economic team nominees by Biden during an event Tuesday in Wilmington, Delaware.

Tanden was one of six nominees Biden announced Monday for his economic team, including Yellen, Cecilia Rouse to be chair of the Council of Economic Advisers, Jared Bernstein and Heather Boushey to be members of the CEA, and Adewale Adeyemo for deputy Treasury secretary.

He has also picked Brian Deese to lead the National Economic Council in the White House, according to people familiar with his plans.

Tanden has been an outspoken backer of Democrats on

Larry French/Getty Images/TNS file (2019)

Neera Tanden, president and CEO of CAP Action Fund, speaks at an “Impeach and Remove” rally at the U.S. Capitol, Dec. 18, 2019, in Washington, D.C. Twitter and cable news channels, a role that is helping fuel the vehemence of Republican opposition. She tweeted “Love it,” when Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell was tagged “Moscow Mitch” for blocking legislation to protect elections from foreign interference and criticized Republican Senator Susan Collins for a “pathetically bad faith argument” in supporting confirmation of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

The Biden transition team recommended Tanden knowing that she would provoke Republican lawmakers, said a person familiar with the matter, but didn’t want to shrink from nominating someone they considered highly qualified.

The team plans to promote her personal story as part of their pitch that Biden’s economic advisers will understand the problems of working-class and poor people and work to reduce wealth inequality. The daughter of Indian immigrants, she was raised by a single mother who for part of Tanden’s childhood depended on federal housing assistance and food stamps.

Tanden didn’t return phone or email messages. Like other Biden transition officials, she referred to her mother’s time on public assistance in a statement she posted on Twitter.

“After my parents were

divorced when I was young, my mother relied on public food and housing programs to get by,” Tanden said. “Now, I’m being nominated to help ensure those programs are secure, and ensure families like mine can live with dignity. I am beyond honored.”

The OMB director is responsible for overseeing the president’s annual budget and usually is one of the administration’s main negotiators with Congress on spending legislation. OMB also has extensive authority over federal agencies’ regulatory power, reviewing proposed rule changes on behalf of the White House.

Tanden’s nomination is a departure in a post that, especially early in a new administration, has often gone to people who spent years enmeshed in the intricacies of the congressional budgeting process such as Leon Panetta, who led the House Budget Committee for four years before Bill Clinton nominated him, and Peter Orszag, who was director of the Congressional Budget Office when chosen by Barack Obama.

Yet Tanden brings a firm grounding in health policy at a time when the expansions in coverage Biden seeks may depend on her undoing federal regulations that Trump used to undercut Obamacare. Her years as the director of the Center for Ameri-

can Progress think tank, founded during the George W. Bush administration to promote liberal policies, also have placed her in the middle of the party’s debates.

South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham, likely to be chairman of the Budget Committee that would have to first confirm Tanden, predicted an “uphill” battle.

“We’ll cross that bridge when we get there,” he said. “She had a lot to say. Going to be a long hearing.”

Collins, whose support is key to getting 51 votes in a GOP Senate, said, “I do not know her much about her but I’ve heard that she’s a very prolific user of Twitter,” and declined further comment.

Tanden wouldn’t be the first political choice for the job.

Trump selected Republican Congressman Mick Mulvaney, a founding member of the conservative Freedom Caucus and a follower of the Tea Party movement as his budget director, setting a precedent for the job to go to a fierce partisan warrior.

Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer of New York scoffed at “overblown complaints” about Tanden’s past criticisms of Republicans.

“Honestly, the hypocrisy is astounding,” Schumer said on the Senate floor. “If Republicans are concerned about criticism on Twitter, their complaints are better directed at President Trump.”

Tanden’s long connection with the Clinton family, stretching back to Bill Clinton’s White House and including roles as a policy adviser in Hillary Clinton’s 2000 Senate campaign and 2008 presidential campaign, also have led to tangles with progressives in the party.

Biden’s incoming White House chief of staff, Ron Klain was closely involved in the Center for American Progress, including holding a position on the board of its affiliated action fund, and developed a high opinion of Tanden, said a person familiar with the transition.

Trump urges Georgia gov. to ‘call off election’ Tribune Content Agency President Donald Trump demanded Tuesday that Georgia “call off” its upcoming runoff elections over his claims of fraud, giving Republicans a new headache in their fight to keep control of the U.S. Senate.

Repeating his attacks about mail-in voting, Trump angrily urged Republican Gov. Brian Kemp to “do something” about absentee votes that are expected to be cast predominantly

by Democrats in the pair of make-or-break Senate contests.

“You allowed your state to be scammed,” Trump warned Kemp on Twitter, presumably referring to the presidential election.

“Call off election. It won’t be needed. We will all WIN!” Trump tweeted.

Trump has repeatedly claimed that hundreds of thousands of mail-in votes were fraudulently cast.

Secretary Oliver Dowden told British newspaper the Mail on Sunday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Without this, I fear a generation of viewers who did not live through these events may mistake fiction for fact.â&#x20AC;?

Dowden requested that Netflix add a â&#x20AC;&#x153;health warningâ&#x20AC;? before each episode.

Giuliani denies talking with Trump about possible pardon Tribune Content Agency NEW YORK — Rudy Giuliani pushed back against a Tuesday report that he recently asked President Donald Trump to give him a preemptive pardon, claiming he never made any such a request.

The New York Times, citing two anonymous sources, reported Giuliani and Trump talked about the potential pardon last week. The controversial topic came up in previous conversations between the two men as well, according to the report.

But Giuliani – who’s spearheading Trump’s baseless legal battle to subvert Joe Biden’s election victory – vehemently denied ever talking

about pardons with the president.

“Not true at all,” he said in a text message.

Rober t Costello, Giuliani’s attorney and friend, echoed his client’s denial, but also suggested that if such a conversation were to ever take place, the public wouldn’t find out about it.

“If there would have been such a discussion, it would have been between Giuliani and Trump. Do you think either one of them would be the source for The New York Times?

It doesn’t make any sense. The whole story is ludicrous,” Costello told the Daily News.

Giuliani has not been charged with any crimes, but federal prosecutors in

Manhattan are known to be investigating his business dealings in Ukraine and his role in the ouster of the U.S. ambassador to the European country–amovethatprompted Trump’s impeachment.

The former New York mayor has also been the point person for Trump’s bid to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election. As part of that fact-challenged effort, Giuliani has unleashed a torrent of unfounded accusations of voter fraud and even personally accused Biden of unspecified crimes.

Though unusual, presidents can pardon crimes preemptively. The most famous example was President Gerald Ford’s

1974 pardon of Richard Nixon for any and all crimes that he may have committed as part of the Watergate scandal.

M ichael Cohen, Trump’s estranged former personal attorney who remains in home confinement for crimes he committed on Trump’s behalf, said he has no doubt his former boss is considering a pardon for Giuliani.

“There’s nothing new that’s going on here.

Donald Trump has dangled pardons like a drunken sailor going back to 2017,” said Cohen, whose attorneys were a.

Last week, Trump pardoned Michael Flynn, his former national security adviser.

Trump From Page One of victory in the state.

Theoretically, the courts could still step in.

But almost all of the cases filed so far by Trump and his allies have been rejected for lack of actual evidence needed to invalidate legally cast votes.

Even as Trump rejects the outcome, the U.S. General Services Administration has acknowledged Biden as the apparent winner and the president has called on his agencies to cooperate with the transition.

Biden is moving forward to assemble his administration, with his economic team set to be introduced Tuesday.

The president’s last gasp may be trying to persuade Republican legislators in multiple states to ignore the popular vote and appoint Trump electors, but that wouldn’t stop Biden’s inauguration, said Edward Foley, director of an election-law program at Ohio State University who has studied disputed elections.

“It’s checkmate in terms of the various chess moves on the board, but they could try to go for other moves anyway,” Foley said. “Normally when you see that it’s going to be checkmate, you sort of concede.”

If all legal challenges are resolved by Dec. 8, the so-called safe-harbor deadline, Congress must accept a state’s electors based on certified results. But even if there are still outstanding disputes in some states, the Biden electors in each state will cast their votes Dec. 14, and there’s no reason to think Congress won’t accept them when it meets Jan. 6 to count electoral votes, Foley said.

A woman holds a placard as President Donald Trump’s supporters gather during a car rally named Stop the Steal, Nov. 22, in Long Valley, New Jersey. have been holding public meetings with Republican lawmakers in Pennsylvania, Arizona and Michigan highlighting what they say are election irregularities, statistical anomalies and rejected claims of voting machine manipulation as part of an unproven Democratic conspiracy to steal the election.

“President-elect Biden’s clear win in every state that Donald Trump’s campaign has contested has now been certified by a bipartisan array of election officials,” Biden spokesman Michael Gwin said. “As has been clear for weeks, Joe Biden will be sworn in as president come Jan. 20, 2021.”

Trump’s campaign and his allies are still filing lawsuits to challenge the election results, and more are expected – especially in Wisconsin and Arizona, which require results to be certified before the election can be contested.

The Trump campaign filed a lawsuit Tuesday in the Wisconsin Supreme Court challenging the state results, primarily by attacking practices with absentee ballots in an election system that state officials have repeatedly defended.

Many of the other claims haven’t been presented in court, and those that have – such

as Republican observers saying they weren’t able to effectively monitor the counting of mail-in ballots – have been almost universally rejected for lack of evidence of actual fraud to disqualify tens of thousands of votes.

“Although they allege massive fraud outside of court, when they’re forced to make their argument in court, they can’t quite build the case that they need to in order to justify having judges completely overturn the result – because that’s ultimately what they’re asking for,” said Nathaniel Persily, a Stanford University law professor and election-law expert.

Trump’s legal team has mused about getting a case before the U.S. Supreme Court with its newly minted 6-3 conservative majority that could overturn the election, but even Trump said in an interview Sunday on Fox News that “it’s very hard to get a case to the Supreme Court.”

“Let’s be clear: The effort to change the election outcome in the courts is over and has been for a long time,” said Richard Pildes, a New York University professor of constitutional law.

Giuliani and Ellis have been pleading with Republican lawmak-

ers to use a legal theory to declare that the election has “failed” and appoint slates of Trump electors to compete with the duly appointed Biden ones – despite the fact the Nov. 3 popular vote has already been set as the method for choosing electors.

“This in no way impacts the state legislature’s ability to take back the proper selection of delegates,” Ellis said Monday on Twitter after Democratic Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs and Republican Gov. Doug Ducey certified Biden’s victory in the state.

But that would require entire Republican delegations in at least three states to ignore the popular vote – a dubious legal and political step that GOP leaders in Michigan and Pennsylvania have already said they won’t take – with no expectation the Trump electors would be accepted by a Democratic-controlled House and a Senate with several Republicans who have acknowledged Biden’s victory, Persily said.

“For all practical purposes it is over, but they could try to create disorder either in the state legislatures or even on the floor of Congress,” he said. “But it’s not going to amount to anything.”

Barr: Giuliani rejects AG’s comments From Page One The attorney general also said in the interview that he appointed U.S. Attorney John Durham as a special counsel, enabling him to keep his ongoing inquiry into the origins of the FBI’s Russia probe alive into the Biden administration.

Barr said he made that appointment in October.

The White House wasn’t notified until Tuesday that Durham had been appointed as a special counsel, according to a Justice Department official.

Barr has been one of Trump’s most ardent allies and repeatedly claimed before the election that the widespread

use of mail-in ballots could well lead to significant fraud. But in his interview he signaled his rejection of the post-election claims by Trump and his supporters of a massive scheme to deprive the president of a second term.

“There’s been one assertion that would be systemic fraud and that would be the claim that machines were programmed essentially to skew the election results,” Barr said. “And the DHS and DOJ have looked into that, and so far, we haven’t seen anything to substantiate that.”

Trump’s legal team, led

by Rudy Giuliani, quickly rejected Barr’s comments.

“With all due respect

to the Attorney General, there hasn’t been any semblance of a Department of Justice investigation,” the team said in a statement.

“We have gathered ample evidence of illegal voting in at least six states, which they have not examined,” and the department “hasn’t audited any voting machines or used their subpoena powers to determine the truth.”

Barr was seen at the White House just after the interview was published. Justice Department spokeswoman Kerri Kupec said the attorney general was there for a previously scheduled meeting.

As Trump has escalated his claims of election fraud, he has even sug-

gested that the Justice Department and Federal Bureau of Investigation might have been in on rigging the election.

“This is total fraud,” Trump told Fox News on Sunday. “And how the FBI and Department of Justice – I don’t know.

Maybe they are involved.”

Barr told the AP that people were confusing allegations about criminal activity with disputes that should be pursued through civil lawsuits.

“There’s a growing tendency to use the criminal justice system as sort of a default fix-all, and people don’t like something they want the Department of Justice to come in and ‘investigate,’ ” Barr said.

Grand jury indicts captain in Conception dive boat fire on 34 counts of manslaughter Tribune Content Agency LOS ANGELES — The captain of the Conception, the dive boat that caught fire last year off the coast of Santa Barbara, killing 34 people on board, was indicted Tuesday by a federal grand jury on 34 counts of seaman’s manslaughter.

The indictment says that as the leader of the Labor Day weekend diving tour near the Channel Islands, Jerry Boylan, 67, “was responsible for the safety and security of the vessel, its crew and its passengers,” according to the U.S. attorney’s office in Los Angeles, which announced the charges.

Boylan, a resident of Santa Barbara, was expected to surrender to authorities at a later date, and two federal public defenders representing him did not respond to messages seeking comment.

“As a result of the alleged failures of Captain Boylan to follow wellestablished safety rules, a pleasant holiday dive trip turned into a hellish nightmare as passengers and one crew member found themselves trapped in a fiery bunkroom with no means of escape,” U.S. Attorney Nick Hanna said in a statement after the charges were announced.

Family members of the 33 passengers who perished in the bunk room of the 75-foot vessel told the Los Angeles Times they were informed Tuesday afternoon of the criminal case.

“I am glad they finally indicted the captain,” James Adamic said in a phone interview. His sister, Diana Adamic; brother-inlaw, Steven Salika; and

The burned hulk of the Conception is brought to the surface by a salvage team in the Santa Barbara Channel off of Santa Cruz Island, Sept. 12, 2019. niece, Tia Salika-Adamic, were on board the Conception for a family diving vacation when they died in the fire.

“It has to be done to hold someone accountable,” Adamic said. “But I hope it is a first step, as the owner needs to also be held accountable.”

The federal charges were the culmination of a multiagency investigation of the ship’s owner, Truth Aquatics, and its crew that began in the aftermath of the 2019 blaze. As captain of the ship, Boylan had long been the target of the criminal inquiry.

In July, the captain and his attorney met with prosecutors and were presented with evidence authorities had gathered about his failure to safely operate the vessel.

The pressure to file charges against Boylan rose after a hearing this fall held by the National Transportation Safety Board revealed that many of those trapped below deck were awake – some with their shoes on – as the fire engulfed the vessel about 3 a.m., but could not

escape the bunk room and died of smoke inhalation.

That victims were awake contradicted what Santa Barbara officials had long maintained: that the 34 who died likely never knew of the encroaching flames.

The indictment said that “by his misconduct, negligence, and inattention to his duties,” Boylan caused the deaths of 33 passengers and one crew member.

Prosecutors singled out three violations: failing to have a roving patrol; failing to conduct sufficient fire drills; and failing to conduct sufficient crew training.

The summary of alleged failures in safety protocol aboard the Conception mirrors the findings of the NTSB, which earlier this year faulted the boat’s owner, Truth Aquatics, for failing to have effective oversight of the vessel and not having a roving watchperson that would have detected the blaze sooner, saving lives.

“Our hope is that this indictment leads to the prevention of boating accidents and the senseless destruction of lives

through proper precautions and training,” said Kristi K. Johnson, the assistant director in charge of the FBI’s office in L.A. The NTSB determined the fire began in the back of a middle deck salon where lithium-ion batteries were being charged, but the agency could not say whether it was the batteries, the ship’s electrical system or an unattended fire source that ignited the blaze.

But NTSB Chairman Robert Sumwalt said regardless of the source of the fire, those below deck probably could have escaped if there had been early detection of the blaze by a roving watch.

The agency found that a crew member sleeping in the wheelhouse atop the three-deck boat was awakened by a pop, crackle and the glow of the flames from the middle deck.

Bipartisan group proposes $908 billion ‘bridge’ aid package Tribune Content Agency WASHINGTON — A bipartisan, bicameral group of lawmakers unveiled a $908 billion aid package for the Covid-19 pandemic Tuesday in an attempt to break a stalemate that has held up relief for months.

The proposal offers a middle ground between the $2.4 trillion measure sought by House Democrats and the $519 billion pushed by Senate Republicans. The package is designed to provide enough relief through the end of March, lawmakers said.

“It’s inexcusable for us to leave town and not have an agreement,” said Sen. Joe Manchin III, D- W.Va., a leader of the bipartisan group that presented its plan at a news conference.

“It’s not the time for political brinkmanship.”

But it wasn’t clear whether the latest attempt at compromise would fare any better than previous bipartisan plans offered by rank-and-file lawmakers. Manchin Pelosi said the group has received no assurance from congressional leadership about getting floor votes on their proposal, which has yet to be drafted into legislation.

Sen. Mitt Romney, R- Utah, who is part of the bipartisan group, said Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell were consulted on the proposal.

But Romney said neither expressed either support or opposition to the plan.

For the first time in

weeks, Speaker Nancy Pelosi planned to talk with Mnuchin Tuesday afternoon to discuss pandemic aid, along with a year-end omnibus spending package. Those relief talks broke down shortly before the Nov. 3 elections, when Mnuchin had been discussing a $1.9 trillion plan that Democrats dismissed as inadequate.

The new bipartisan measure, billed as a “framework” for an aid compromise, includes many pieces of relief programs that lawmakers have tried for months to pass in various forms.

The biggest single piece is $288 billion in relief for small businesses, including a new round

Senators split over end to Fed emergency lending programs Tribune Content Agency WASHINGTON — Democrats and Republicans split on Treasury S e c r et a r y S t even Mnuchin’s decision to end most of the emergency lending facilities established at the onset of the coronavirus pandemic at a Senate hearing Tuesday.

“Even the Chamber of Commerce said that shutting down the emergency lending programs ‘closes the door on important liquidity options for businesses at a time when they need (them) the most,’” said Sen. Sherrod Brown, D- Ohio, the panel’s ranking member.

But at the hearing to take testimony from Mnuchin and Federal

Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell, Chairman Michael D. Crapo, R- Idaho, disagreed.

“Secretar y Mnuchin, I’m actually quite surprised to hear you criticized for following the law,” Crapo said.

As the economy began to shutter in an effort to slow the spread of Covid-19 in March, the financial markets also began to shut down until the Fed started to set up emergency lending backstops.

Congress gave the Treasury secretary $500 billion to underwrite those credit facilities and other direct lending programs as part of the $2 trillion relief package in March.

Mnuchin asked the Fed last month to end most of the emergency credit

facilities, saying that the law only foresaw the programs operating until the end of the year. In a rare public disagreement, the Fed said it would prefer to maintain the backstops into next year – something it would have the authority to do only with Mnuchin’s blessing. But in his testimony Tuesday, Powell only obliquely referenced the disagreement as he said the central bank would end the programs and return the unused funds.

“Our emergency lending powers require the approval of the Treasury and are available only in very unusual circumstances, such as those we find ourselves in today,” Powell said.

of Paycheck Protection Program loans, along with Economic Injury Disaster Loans and aid to restaurants, according to a chart summarizing the proposal.

It also includes $180 billion for expanded unemployment insurance benefits, which Manchin said would provide an extra $300 a week for 18 weeks.

State and local governments, which have struggled to make up for lost revenue from economic shutdowns, would get $160 billion — a far cry from the nearly $1 trillion Democrats had sought last spring. Republicans have resisted the aid, saying they don’t want to bail out poorly managed states.

But both sides have been willing to provide direct aid for public schools struggling to reopen safely, which is

considered a major component of state and local assistance. The bipartisan plan pitched Tuesday would provide $82 billion to help state and local governments patch up one of their biggest individual budget holes.

And the package attempts to find a compromise on a top priority for McConnell that triggered Democratic opposition: liability protection for employers against pandemic-related lawsuits.

The summary calls for “short-term” liability protection “with the purpose of giving states time to develop their own response.”

“It builds upon President (Donald) Trump’s commitment to get something done,” said Sen. Bill Cassidy, R- La., in urging Republicans to support the

package. “This is a victory for common sense.”

Other pieces of the package include: n $45 billion in aid for the transportation industry, including airlines, buses, transit and Amtrak. n $16 billion for vaccine development and distribution, along with virus testing and tracing. n $35 billion for health care providers, such as hospitals. n $25 billion in rental housing assistance. n $10 billion for the U.S. Postal Service. n $10 billion for child care assistance.

“This is a heck of a down payment and what our country needs desperately,” said Rep. Josh Gottheimer, D- N.J., a leader of the bipartisan Problem Solvers Caucus in the House.

Positive tests show how precarious season will be for W’s Tribune Content Agency Tuesday afternoon, after breaking news that the start of training camp had been pushed back a day because two players tested positive for the coronavirus, Warriors general manager Bob Myers fielded numerous variations of the same question: How will Covid-19 affect the season?

Midway through that 25-minute video call with reporters, Myers finally said, “The truth is nobody has answers to these questions.”

It is the type of quote that has become commonplace in 2020, a year defined by a pandemic that is forcing people throughout the world to adjust how they approach day-to-day life. The most basic of endeavors, from attending school to working in an office to attending a movie, have been re-envisioned to curtail the spread of the coronavirus.

Like Major League Baseball, the NFL and college athletics before it, the NBA is trying to figure out how to play a season outside of a bubble environment. This is especially new territory for the Warriors, who, because of a league-worst record, were one of the eight teams not invited to the Orlando bubble that completed last season.

In the nearly nine months since Golden State last played a game, it has convened for group workouts only once, at a two-week offseason minicamp that ended in early October.

But that was a bubble-like environment, with players limited to the team hotel, the team bus and Chase Center.

Such a setup realistically can’t be maintained for an entire 72-game regular season, which is why the NBA sent a comprehensive health and safety protocol to all 30 teams last week. The 134-page document contains a detailed rules system for what will happen when someone tests positive for the coronavirus.

The most efficient way for a player to return is by recording at least two consecutive negative PCR tests from samples at least 24 hours apart. A league source confirmed to The Chronicle that the Warriors already have dealt with this type of setback, with a player testing positive at the facility during summer workouts.

Golden State, which has been testing every close-contact employee since Saturday, delayed the start of training camp Tuesday as soon as two unidentified players tested positive for the coronavirus. It will begin holding individual workouts for players at Chase Center on Wednesday. If all goes according to plan, the Warriors See W’s, Page B2

December in the desert: 49ers will stay, practice and play in Arizona Tribune Content Agency The 49ers will decamp to the desert for much of December.

On Tuesday, a day after the team announced it would be playing its next two “home” games at the Arizona Cardinals’ stadium, head coach Kyle Shanahan revealed the team also wold practice and stay near State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Ariz.

The program is putting that into practice, announcing Tuesday morning that, in light of the Santa Clara County Public Health Department’s emergency directive, the team will move to Seattle on Tuesday and Corvallis, Ore., next week to continue its season amid the local bans.

Santa Clara County on Saturday banned contact sports for at least three weeks and issued a 14-day quarantine for those

Santa Clara County’s threeweek ban on contact sports and a 14-day quarantine for those traveling into the area from 150 miles away ends Dec. 21, but the directives could be extended based on the spread of the coronavirus.

It’s an unprecedented situation for an NFL team, but Shanahan noted it won’t be completely foreign. Last year, the 49ers practiced in Youngstown, Ohio, in September and Sarasota, Fla., in December for a

work week between back-toback road games that ended in Cincinnati and New Orleans, respectively. This season, the team stayed in West Virgina between its back-to-back September games against the Jets and Giants.

Shanahan acknowledged this pandemic-inspired trip will come with unknowns such as Covid-19 protocols regarding family members who want to visit or stay in Glendale.

First competitions for cross country could’ve begun on Dec. 21, water polo and badminton on Dec. 28, girls volleyball on Dec. 29 and football on Jan. 8.

While most area coaches and officials weren’t surprised by the move, its implementation was nonetheless disappointing.

“It’s a real head-shaker,” said Fred Jones, an athletic director and assistant football coach at Vacaville High. “This is going to test the resiliency of the kids. It is so hard for them to gear up and then have to wait another month to get started.”

CIF delays start of sports, cancels some regional, state championships PFARMER@DAILYREPUBLIC.NET

FAIRFIELD — An already delayed start to the high school sports year hit another roadblock when the California Interscholastic Federation announced it was putting off a return to full practice and competition until after Jan. 1 – at the earliest – because of Covid-19 concerns in a Tuesday media release.

The CIF also announced that all regional and state championships for Season 1 sports – football, cross country, girls volleyball, water polo and badminton – were being canceled. Boys volleyball was pushed back to Season 2.

The 49ers will fly to Arizona on Wednesday afternoon and hold their first practice Thursday in advance of their game Monday night against Buffalo at their temporary home.

“Due to the continued surge in Covid-19 infections, the California Department of Public Health has postponed the issuance of its updated youth sports guidance,” the CIF said in the release. “The California Interscholastic Federation does not expect the CDPH will issue any guidance allowing for schools to return to full practice and competition until after January 1, 2021, at the earliest.

Thus, all full practice and competition start dates are officially on hold until updated guidance is issued.”

Same four teams stay at top of College Football Playoff rankings The Washington Post In rankings oddly devoid of oddity, the top seven teams held steady from last week in the College Football Playoff chart issued Tuesday night.

Those not budging began with No. 1 Alabama (8-0), No. 2 Notre Dame (9-0), No. 3 Clemson (8-1) and No. 4 Ohio State (4-0). That’s even after the 13-member selection committee spent its usual two-day huddle in a North Texas hotel meeting room running the incongruous numbers of a misshapen season.

Ohio State held onto No. 4 despite the cancellation of

its game at Illinois on Saturday after positive tests within its program for a coronavirus that has broadsided the autumn schedule. The Buckeyes held off No. 5 Texas A&M (6-1), No. 6 Florida (7-1) and No. 7 Cincinnati (8-0) after a weekend on which the Aggies beat LSU, 20-7, at home; the Gators beat Kentucky, 34-10, at home; and the Bearcats saw their match with Temple canceled as well.

The idea of flipping Texas A&M and Ohio State did come up and stir some chitchat in the committee room, as chairman Gary Barta, the athletic director at Iowa, said on ESPN. He also acknowledged the harder

calculus of ranking teams with such wide discrepancies in games played - a quirk that, in Ohio State’s case, stems from the Big Ten’s public-health caution in starting its season six weeks after the starts of teams such as Notre Dame and Clemson.

The committee also didn’t transpose Alabama and Notre Dame at the top, even as it took Notre Dame’s most recent victim, North Carolina (6-3), and accorded it the respect of an upgrade from No. 19 to No. 17.

CIF: Coaches, ADs disappointed by delay From Page B1 not a surprise considering the current Covid status,” said Tracy Cordes, Rodriguez athletic director and softball coach. “The postponement will be very disappointing to our athletes. The students need something to look forward to. I talk to our studentathletes often and I am doing my best to keep their spirits up. Our fingers are crossed that things get better soon. We do have several teams that are conditioning and I think that has helped our student-athletes’ mental and physical well-being. Our coaches are working hard, following all safety protocol and I know that the student’s safety is of their utmost importance. I think that we all need to work hard towards being safe and hope that our county Covid numbers fall and keep falling if we are to play sports anytime soon.”

Fairfield football coach Merwin Matsukado said the move was under-

standable and that he wasn’t surprised.

“We also have to remember that education and training is a big part of moving forward both safely and effectively.”

M at t hew Bidou, Vanden athletic director, sees the move by the CIF as a positive step.

“I like the announcement,” Bidou said. “I believe because of the announcement we have a real good chance at getting Season 1 in without pushing Season 2 backwards or Season 1 overlapping Season 2.”

State and regional championship were canceled in order to keep the hoped-for season from being shortened as little as possible. “( T ) o pr ov ide the 10 CIF Sections, our 1,605 member schools, and more than 800,000 student-athletes the best opportunity to compete in Season 1 Sports, once allowed by the CDPH and local county offices of public health, the

CIF State Office is removing all Regional and State Championship events from the Season 1 Sports calendar,” the CIF said in the release. “By canceling Regional and State Championship events, more student-athletes will have the opportunity to participate in a longer season, rather than a truncated season with Regional and State postseason play for a limited number of schools.”

Armijo cross country and track and field coach Matthew Pence has sent athletes to CIF State championships in both sports and feels it’s “very disappointing” to see the cancellation of the former in early 2021.

“You have a lot of seniors this year who are missing out on being celebrated and getting wonderful memories of the event,” Pence said.

“While it is entirely understandable why the meet has been canceled, you have to feel sorry for all of the seniors who not only

had their junior year of sports thrown into chaos and canceled but are now missing out on these experiences as well. Even just the hope of qualifying for the state meet can be the motivation an athlete needs to push themselves to new heights and that was just taken away.”

The release closed on a positive note with CIF expressing confidence that the pause will give leagues and sections time to make necessary changes.

“The CIF is confident this decision is a necessary and reasonable action for our member schools, student-athletes, and school communities in light of the current statewide crisis,” said the CIF in the release. “This revision to the CIF State 2020-21 Season 1 Sports calendar offers our Sections and Leagues the flexibility and needed time to plan for the return to practice and competition once updated guidance is provided by the CDPH.”

49ers: Had little time to make decision From Page B1 “I’m just telling the guys and our team: ‘Just look at it one week at a time,’” Shanahan said.

“We’ve traveled as a team for a week before. . . . Hopefully, we can get down there for a week and kind of figure it out. What we can do. What we can’t do. What the situation is.

And then we’ll spend the next two weeks trying to adjust and make it as good as we can.”

The 49ers explored practice locales outside Santa Clara County in and around the Bay Area.

However, they decided on Glendale partly because they had little time to decide after the county’s directives were announced Satur-

day afternoon.

In the spring, when Santa Clara County was under a stay-athome order, the 49ers and NFL discussed contingency plans that included the team using the Cardinals’ facility.

Shanahan acknowledged there remain unknowns, some of which might not be resolved soon. It’s conceivable, for example, that the 49ers won’t return to Santa Clara until 2021 if the county’s directives are extended. They are scheduled to play their final regular-season home game against Seattle on Jan. 3 at Levi’s Stadium.

Given the uncertainty, Shanahan gave the 49ers one of the few guarantees he could provide: They

will be with their families on Christmas, which will be the day before they play the Cardinals in Glendale.

Shanahan noted he didn’t know if they would be the Bay Area on Christmas morning, or if their families will be in Arizona.

“I don’t know what that deal is, but I know our organization – they’ll do whatever they can to figure out whether we’re here with our families that week or whether we have to get all of them to us,” Shanahan said. “And go through whatever we have to do to do that.

“I know that will be worth it, and I know (CEO) Jed (York) will help us out with that. That helps us a little bit. But after that, I’m not trying to make any plans because as you’ve

got to do with everything, you’ve got to wait to see the (protocols) and then we’ll figure it out.”

Of course, Shanahan’s primary focus isn’t the upcoming holiday, but the 49ers’ first “home” game in Arizona on Monday against the Bills.

The 49ers (5-6) remain in playoff contention with five regular-season games left. How they handle their opponents, along with their unique circumstances, will determine their postseason fate.

“We need each other through this and it’s going to be about five more weeks,” Shanahan said. “And, hopefully, if we do it right, we can make it longer.”

W’s: Concerned about training camp From Page B1 can start group practices Monday in advance of their Dec. 12 preseason opener against Denver.

Asked if there’s a chance Golden State will need to push back training camp again, Myers said, “At this point in time, all I do know is we’re set to start tomorrow in the individual manner that I discussed, then Monday ramp it up. Beyond that, I can’t promise – none of you can – anything.”

If nothing else, Tuesday’s news about the Warriors’ two positive tests reinforced just how precarious it can be to attempt a season during a pandemic. The NBA has tried to set up a system that will ensure the games still happen if a team experiences an outbreak. But as the MLB, NFL and college athletics have shown, even exhaustive plans can’t prevent snafus.

For examples, the Warriors need only to look at their Bay Area counterparts. The A’s and Giants had to postpone a combined six games this

past season because of the coronavirus. Cal had football games against Washington and Arizona State canceled, and the Pac-12 called off Stanford’s football game against Washington State.

On Monday, just two days after the Santa Clara County Public Health Department banned contact sports for at least three weeks and issued a 14-day quarantine for those traveling into the area from 150 miles away, the 49ers announced they will relocate to Glendale, Ariz., where they’ll play their next two home games. Given that California moved San Francisco County to the most restrictive tier – purple – in its coronavirus economic blueprint Saturday, the Warriors soon might have to make similar accommodations.

Golden State remains in contact with San Francisco County public health officials and will have contingency plans ready if necessary. Sacramento, which will host the Warriors for preseason games Dec. 15 and 17, is

one possible relocation site. The regular season begins Dec. 22.

Golden State majority owner Joe Lacob has been at the forefront of the NBA’s discussions about how to navigate the pandemic, and his research team shared valuable information with Commissioner Adam Silver and others about PCR testing – now the league’s preferred rapid coronavirus test. But given that coronavirus numbers are spiking in San Francisco, the city’s public health officials are unlikely to approve Lacob’s plan to bring back fans to Chase Center anytime soon.

The more pressing concern for the Warriors is whether they can even have an adequate training camp.

Though Klay Thompson’s season-ending torn right Achilles tendon likely quashed Golden State’s title hopes, its recent trade for Kelly Oubre Jr. gave it a chance to at least contend for homecourt advantage in the playoffs. To be a serious threat in a loaded Western Conference, the

Warriors must acclimate Stephen Curry – limited to five games last season because of injuries – to a new-look supporting cast, significantly improve their defense and adopt a faster playing style.

But as Warriors head coach Steve Kerr has reminded his team again and again in recent months, every franchise is dealing with unprecedented unknowns during the pandemic. Washington head coach Scott Brooks said Tuesday that his team has had one player test positive, and Orlando head coach Steve Clifford said center Mo Bamba – who tested positive several months ago – is still “a ways away” from being ready to play again.

“I’m confident that the league is going to do everything in their power to do things the right way and to protect us, protect the players and the staffs,” Kerr said. “Then, who the hell knows? I mean, it’s 2020.

“I think we just have to go into it with an open mind, and do our best and see what happens.”

Stanford: May play at WSU on Dec. 19 From Page B1 student-athletes,” the conference said in a statement.

Stanford, which canceled its scheduled media availability with head coach David Shaw and selected players Tuesday, said: “Additional updates will be provided as they become available.”

Shaw is now expected Wednesday to make the program’s first public comments since the new

health orders.

On Monday, Santa Clara County director Jeff Smith said he expects the three-week ban on contact sports to be extended.

“Historically, sportsmanship was about building a team and protecting that team,” he said in a news conference.

“Coaches, managers and owners used to want to protect their players from damage. Those values

seem to have been delayed during the Covid pandemic.

If leaders want to protect their teams and communities, they shouldn’t play anywhere until it’s safe.

You could imagine a resurgence of team building when the teams spend their time building a community Covid relief fund rather than trying to endanger the community more. “ The Pac-12 plans to play its final regular season

games Dec. 19, although no matchups have been announced. If the conference allows Stanford and Washington State to catch up with their canceled game from earlier this season, a move would shorten the trip for Stanford.

hen asked when the wars in Iraq or Afghanistan might end, retired Gen. David Petraeus would deploy a useful quip. “The enemy gets a vote,” he would say, meaning that both sides need to agree to stop fighting.

There is a corollary to Petraeus’ adage that is relevant not to war but to peace agreements: The allies get a vote, too. In the context of the 2015 nuclear agreement with Iran, the allies include Israel, which was not a party to the deal but is almost certainly responsible for last weekend’s assassination of Iran’s top nuclear weapons scientist, Mohsen Fakhrizadeh.

Israel has repeatedly declined comment on the Fakrhizadeh operation, which comes after a string of Israeli sabotage actions over the summer against some of Iran’s most sensitive nuclear sites.

Earlier this month, it was reported that Israeli teams killed al-Qaida’s deputy outside of Tehran. When Israeli Prime Eli Lake Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced to the world that Israeli operatives had stolen reams of detailed Iranian schematics and plans for building a nuclear weapon in 2018, he urged the audience to remember Fakhrizadeh’s name, revealing a memo from the late scientist describing covert nuclear activities.

Since the news broke of the assassination, the European Union as well as several former officials of the Barack Obama administration have issued condemnations. Former CIA director John Brennan, for example, mused that if a foreign country was responsible, it would be “an act of state-sponsored terrorism.”

That’s myopic. To start, Iran’s pursuit of nuclear weapons poses an existential threat to Israel and Gulf Arab states such as the United Arab Emirates. It’s not that Iran would launch a first strike against one of these nations. Rather, it’s that all of Iran’s other destabilizing actions – supporting terrorists, arming regional insurgents, building up a long-range missile capability – would be much harder to deter if Iran possessed an atomic weapon.

In this sense, it’s mistaken to view Israel’s likely strike against Fakhrizadeh through the lens of its effect on President-elect Joe Biden’s goal of re-entering the Iran nuclear deal and negotiating a stronger follow-on agreement.

Israel has already proved it has extraordinary intelligence capabilities inside Iran. But the opportunity to take out a high-value target such as Fakhrizadeh does not come along often. It’s more likely that the opportunity presented itself and Israel pounced.

More important, Israel has shown in the past three years that it is willing to use its intelligence capabilities to stymie Iran’s nuclear program. Israel killed some nuclear scientists inside Iran during negotiations over Iran’s nuclear program. Back then, most observers believed that Israel’s only chance to destroy Iran’s nuclear infrastructure was an overt action, such as a missile strike, drone attack or bombing run. The explosions at Iranian sites over the summer suggest Israel can accomplish much of this task through intelligence operations.

The upshot is that any future deal with Iran will have to address Israel’s security needs.

That is not what happened five years ago. The tensions of the nuclear deal became so dramatic that in 2015, Netanyahu addressed a joint session of Congress to make the case against the deal Obama was negotiating. Netanyahu was willing to risk Israel’s most important alliance to oppose a deal that he believed imperiled his country’s future. So it’s highly unlikely that Israel would be willing to end its activities in Iran so the U.S. can rejoin that same deeply flawed nuclear agreement.

Israel may agree not to launch any strikes for a time, such as the first few months of the Biden administration. But it won’t give up the capability to strike inside Iran unless Iran agrees to abandon the aspects of its nuclear program suitable for building bombs. If Biden is smart, he will use this dynamic to his advantage as he tests Iran’s willingness to negotiate.

Israel’s sabotage and assassinations have not destroyed Iran’s nuclear program. But they have set it back. As the architect of that program, Fakhrizadeh will be hard to replace.

What will be even harder for the regime, however, is persuading its other scientists that they will be safe if they continue the quest for a nuclear weapon.

in the third quarter.

This is where we need to start thinking about the possibility that households tap their accumulated savings, pushing the savings rate below zero after the economy has largely normalized. Based on the same methodology I used in August, I estimate households have accumulated $1.4 trillion of excess savings, which is equivalent to about 6.6% of gross domestic product. This represents the remnants of the $2.2 trillion CARES Act passed by Congress in March. The hallmarks of that program included $1,200 payments for adults making up to $75,000 and $500 for their children, as well an extra $600 in weekly unemployment benefits. In addition, households save simply because their ability to consume services is constrained.

Policymakers and market participants have yet to fully appreciate the magnitude of accumulated savings because the numbers are so large and out of historical context that they are difficult to comprehend. Also, there seems to be a false impression that savings are already being drawn down. That’s just not happening on an aggregate level.

The thing to know is that these accumulated savings represent a massive amount of stimulus that is more than the current output gap and could spark an economy already set to normalize. I expect households will start spending their accumulated savings next year as confidence rebounds and very likely after the economy is already on its way to full recovery. It doesn’t take much imagination to see how that could supercharge an already vaccineinduced hot economy.

Both facets of the lawsuit prevailed, with one going to the state Supreme Court. Only one issue remained – whether Harris could be compelled to return the $37 million it was paid for the school, which the law calls “disgorgement.”

With dozens of questionable lease-leaseback deals at risk, school construction firms attempted and failed to get legislation that would have protected them from disgorgement.

Last month, an appellate court declared that “the remedy of disgorgement is available” in the Fresno Unified case, overturning a lower court ruling.

Justice Donald Franson Jr. wrote in his opinion that the middle school contract functioned as a traditional construction contract and not a genuine lease, and should have been awarded by competitive bidding.

Harris Construction may take the issue to the state Supreme Court, but having been rebuffed earlier, is unlikely to prevail.

It’s a big win for Stephen Davis and Kevin Carlin, a San Diego lawyer who represented him and has pursued other questionable leaseleaseback cases.

More than anything, however, the decision is a warning to construction companies and school officials that bending the law with sweetheart contracts is intolerable.

Filmmaker exposes sinister fertility doctor in new HBO doc Tribune Content Agency “Baby God,” a disturbing new documentary about a fertility doctor who used deceit and rape to impregnate women with his own sperm, is largely set in Las Vegas, where the OB-GYN had set up practice.

But the film, which premieres at 9 p.m. ET Wednesday on HBO, has a number of Minnesota connections.

Dr. Quincy Fortier, the movie’s chief villain, graduated from the University of Minnesota’s medical school in 1945.

One of his biological children, who ends up playing a key role in the story, lives in Walker, Minnesota, a three-hour drive north of the Twin Cities.

And then there’s Hannah Olson. The film’s director graduated from Hopkins High School in Minnetonka and developed her love for film as a teenager, shooting her own music videos to Arcade Fire songs and making shorts around Lake Minnetonka.

Olson, 33, first learned about Fortier while working on the PBS series “Finding Your Roots” and decided he would be a good target for her debut documentary.

During her research, Olson was startled to learn that Fortier did more than lie to his patients about swapping in his own sperm.

About halfway through the movie, it’s revealed that Fortier molested at least one of his own stepchildren.

“I didn’t know that going in,” Olson said in a phone interview. “I really wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt. I mean, he had all these accolades and I was raised to trust doctors. It wasn’t until deep into the process we discovered this bombshell revelation.”

The rape led to Fortier’s stepdaughter being sent to a home for unwed mothers in Minnesota, where she gave birth to Jonathan Stensland, who was adopted by another family and currently lives in Walker.

Like us!

Hannah Olson first learned about the doctor while working on the PBS series ‘Finding Your Roots’ and decided he would be a good target for her documentary.

Olson shot her interview with Stensland in April 2019, arriving at his home during an unseasonal blizzard.

“It was kind of a haunting drive,” she said. “It felt dangerous because the roads were so icy. We had to stop on the way to buy snow boots. It was weird because I grew up around there, but I was seeing the landscape anew. I had a totally different perspective.”

In the segment, Stensland talks at length about learning about the family secret as well as the time he confronted his biological father/stepgrandfather. The film also includes conversations with eight other people fathered by Fortier, including retired detective Wendi Babst, whose doggedness is on display throughout the film.

Olson didn’t have the chance to interview Fortier, who died in 2006 at the age of 94.

But she has some theories about what drove her subject to commit such sinister acts.

“I think it was some kind of combination of ego and power,” she said.

“Maybe it was a crime of convenience.”

Olson is already at work on a second HBO documentary, but she’s determined that the project after that will be set in Minnesota. Don’t expect light fare.

“I’m currently with my brother, who also grew up in Minnesota, and he always wants me to do a sports documentary, something that will make people feel good,” she said. “But I’m drawn to subjects that get at some kind of moral gray zone. I like a good mystery. I like what gets at the underbelly of human nature.”

With museums closed, here are 5 great online experiences

DAILY REPUBLIC — Wednesday, December 2, 2020 B5

Crossword

Tribune Content Agency CHICAGO — A few advantages to digital museumgoing: 1. No lines. 2. No fees. 3. No alarms sounding when you venture a little too close to the item on exhibit.

So below are five great ways to visit museums digitally during this resurgent Covid-19 pandemic.

What’s behind this? The big Chicago-area museums have closed down again. With coronavirus rates in the state and region rising dramatically, museums operating indoors fell under a general state order that also shut indoor casinos, theaters and, at least according to the rules, restaurants.

A person could question why a health club operating at 25% capacity, which is still allowed, is less likely to spread coronavirus than bemasked museum patrons peering at artworks.

But as civic-minded institutions the museums are, of course, complying.

And this pause in their cautious reopening during the pandemic offers a kind of test case. Most institutions – and especially the ones that never reopened and are waiting for a full return to public-health normalcy to do so – have been touting their strategic pivot to digital programming.

Doing so, they say, will keep their offerings before the public in the short term and make them more nimble and more widely accessible in the long term.

Beyond the well-documented peregrinations of the Shedd Aquarium penguins, which most recently visited the hallowed turf at Soldier Field, here are five museum visits you can make right now:

1. Explore nature with your kids The Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum in Lincoln Park is one of the larger museums that chose not to open back up this summer. Beginning in July, it’s been crafting a series of “Curious By Nature” YouTube videos that run 3 to 10 minutes long and are aimed at younger viewers. There are now 26 in the series, and they cover topics ranging from bird migration to the differences between reptiles and amphibians to nature-based art activities.

2. The museum of ideas Beyond a small office in River North, the Chicago Humanities Festival does not operate in a fixed physical space. But it’s been bringing in top-notch speakers for more than a quarter century now and recording their talks in front of, for the most part, packed auditoriums.

From this rich online archive, you could craft a pretty

Daily Cryptoquotes

Brian Cassella/Chicago Tribune/TNS file

People tour the Notorious RBG exhibit about Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Sept. 24, at the Illinois Holocaust Museum. remarkable series of seminars, mini-courses and just general mind-opening events – a museum of ideas, if you will.

You want a 2010 talk on health disparities in the U.S. – or perhaps one from 2017 – that feel prophetic in the current moment? They’re there, linked from the chicagohumanties. org website. You want Nikole Hannah-Jones, ahead of her 1619 Project for the New York Times, on a panel talking about the great Chicago journalist Ida B. Wells? Check. You want comic John Mulaney interviewing theater director Andre Gregory from this autumn’s Digital Fall Festival in an event that was not titled “My Zoom Call with Andre”? It’s there too — and much more engaging than the Zoom calls you’re probably used to.

People complain about being led down online rabbit holes, but this compendium of artists, authors and activists – of thinkers and doers – is one of the most rewarding warrens you’ll ever plunge into.

3. “Notorious RBG” tour The engaging museum exhibit “Notorious RBG: The Life and Times of Ruth Bader Ginsburg” opened at the Illinois Holocaust Museum in Skokie early this year, as a tribute to the revered Supreme Court justice’s life. After her death in September, it took on memorial overtones.

And now, with the powerful and too often overlooked museum closed back down, “Notorious RBG” has become a virtual experience. From Dec. 2 through Feb. 20, the museum is offering a series of virtual tours of the exhibit, free for members and $10 for others. The schedule and links for tickets are at ilholocaustmuseum.org/pubtours.

4. Going deep with Art Institute staff You can learn more about some of the Art Institute’s greatest hits, as it were, in a

series of short videos called the Essentials Tour: the “flickering quality” of Seurat’s colors, for instance, or the reference to El Greco in Picasso’s “The Old Guitarist.”

But the deeper cuts, to follow the metaphor, are explored in a new series that also highlights a range of museum staffers. Begun in October, “Playing Favorites” gives people who work at the Art Institute a chance to showcase their favorite piece from the vast collection, one per video. In the five made so far, we meet works including a designer’s book exploring the almost 200 uses made of a commercially produced Dutch pig, a sculpture that is more concept than physical reality and a Victorian era photocollage that helped its maker advance in society.

Collectively, they are a reminder to probe the nooks and crannies of a museum, to remember that even the things that might seem inscrutable or inconsequential at first glance can be worth the effort to get to know.

5. Visit outer space Another museum that has remained closed throughout the pandemic is Adler Planetarium.

But it continues to connect with its community via regular, free online events like the upcoming Adler Astronomy Live ( Dec. 3), which for this biweekly edition will talk about light pollution in the city.

For something to do on your own schedule, though, the online version of the space museum’s recent exhibition “13 Stories with Captain James Lovell” is one of the better digital takes on a museum show I’ve seen.

Presented on the Google Arts & Culture platform, the series of slides highlights moments in the exhibit about the Apollo crew and Adler board member, like the eternal question of how astronauts go to the bathroom.

A bonus in seeing it online is that it’s much easier to read the text, such as the 1959 letter Lovell received rejecting him in his first application to the astronaut program.

When you are the declarer, you should worry about all four suits, though occasionally one or two will look after themselves. What about today’s deal? How should South play in five diamonds after West leads a top-of-nothing spade seven?

If the vulnerability were different, perhaps West would have continued with five spades over five diamonds.

Note that five spades goes down two, which is fine except when vulnerable against nonvulnerable opponents.

Declarer ruffed the spade on the board, led a trump to his hand, ruffed his last spade and played a club to his king. West won with his ace – gulp one – and returned the club 10 – gulp two. Now, when East got in with his heart king, he cashed the club jack to defeat the contract.

NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (844) 477-7869 or visit this Internet Web site www.STOXPOSTING.com, using the file number assigned to this case 20-24836. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. For sales conducted after January 1, 2021: NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call (844) 477-7869, or visit this internet website www.STOXPOSTING.com, using the file number assigned to this case 20-24836 to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.

State’s churches ready to defy FDA official: Emergency approval of coronavirus Newsom after court ruling vaccines not guaranteed Tribune Content Agency

SACRAMENTO — Greg Fairrington, pastor of a Rocklin, California, megachurch that’s been defying California’s pandemic restrictions on indoor churchgoing, opened Sunday’s service by pulling out his cell phone and reading aloud from a fresh U.S. Supreme Court decision.

“There is no world in which the Constitution tolerates a color-coded executive edict that opens liquor stores . . . and bike shops but shutters churches,” Fairrington said, quoting the opinion written by Justice Neil Gorsuch.

The pastor then looked out at his congregants at Destiny Church and shouted: “The Supreme Court of the United States of America – yeah! We have a biblical mandate and First Amendment rights!” What appeared to be a large crowd of worshippers, packed closely together, roared its approval.

Gov. Gavin Newsom’s order preventing indoor church services in much of California, a move aimed at halting the spread of Covid-19, may have hit a major legal obstacle. Last week, the Supreme Court struck down New York state’s rules that limited in-person attendance at houses of worship, declaring it was unconstitutional to severely restrict church and synagogue attendance while allowing merchants and other nonreligious institutions to welcome big crowds.

Demonstrators protest California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s continued statewide shelter-in-place order outside of San Francisco City Hall, May 1, in San Francisco. newest appointee to the court, Amy Coney Barrett – could scramble the pandemic legal landscape as coronavirus infections surge in California and elsewhere.

A Pasadena church last week petitioned the Supreme Court for an injunction that would block Newsom’s rules on church gatherings.

Separately, a federal judge in Sacramento, presiding over a lawsuit filed against Newsom by a Lodi church, ordered both sides Monday to submit additional legal arguments about the potential impact of the New York case.

The New York ruling shows “the Constitution is not suspended by the virus,” said Dean Broyles, the lawyer representing Cross Culture Christian Center, the Lodi church challenging Newsom’s directives. “You’re going to see more and more churches defying the (governor’s) order.”

New York’s rules limited church attendance

to 10 or 25 congregants, depending on the size of the institution. In California, indoor services are completely forbidden in counties that have been placed in the purple category – the most restrictive of the tiers. With coronavirus infections at record levels, about 99% of the state’s population, including the greater Sacramento area, lives in purple counties.

Capital Christian Center, one of the Sacramento area’s largest churches, is looking at whether it can reopen for in-person attendance in light of the Supreme Court case.

“We are taking a fresh look,” the church’s chief operations officer Jason Batt said. “We’re reading the ruling in depth.” He added that Capital Christian believes it “can safely host in-person services” but is also consulting with state and local health officials.

Leslie Jacobs, a constitutional law expert at

the McGeorge School of Law in Sacramento, said the New York case doesn’t automatically toss aside California’s rules on church attendance. But it could make it harder for California to defend in court why it’s treating religious services differently “than hair salons and shopping malls,” she said.

So far, Newsom has successfully fended off all lawsuits filed over his stayat-home orders, securing court orders against churches, health clubs and other challengers.

He even won a case in the U.S. Supreme Court.

In May, the court voted 5-4 to uphold rules that, at the time, allowed indoor services but limited attendance to 100 people or 25% capacity, whichever was smaller. The rules had been challenged by South Bay United Pentecostal Church in Chula Vista, near San Diego.

Chief Justice John Roberts, who sided with Newsom, said the governor’s rules were allowable in part because churches weren’t being singled out for strict regulation.

“Similar or more severe restrictions apply to comparable secular gatherings, including lectures, concerts, movie spectator showings, sports, and theatrical performances, where large groups of people gather in close proximity for extended periods of time,” Roberts wrote.

Since then, however, California’s rules on church gatherings have become considerably more restrictive – forbidding all indoor services in the purple counties.

Tribune Content Agency WASHINGTON — The Food and Drug Administration will not automatically authorize emergency use of coronavirus vaccines before completing a rigorous independent review, despite heightened expectations that two vaccine candidates will be available to Americans this month, Dr. Stephen Hahn, FDA commissioner, told McClatchy in an interview Tuesday.

The interview came hours before Hahn met with White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, according to an administration official, amid calls from President Donald Trump for the FDA to “act quickly” in the approval process.

The FDA is entering one of the most consequential periods in its history after two companies, Pfizer and Moderna, submitted requests for authorization of emergency use of their Covid-19 vaccine candidates. Public advisory meetings have been scheduled, and FDA scientists are reviewing internal company data “around the clock” preparing to deny or approve the applications within a matter of weeks, Hahn said.

“The urgency of the situation is a pressure that I think is substantial on all of us,” he said in the phone interview.

“Our career staff recognize that and are working with great speed. But also we’ve maintained a commitment to using data and science, and we will continue to do that.”

Their reviews will not be based on public state-

ments from the companies that say both vaccine candidates, which use similar platforms, biological demonstrated up to 95% effectiveness in advanced clinical trials.

Company results will have to be independently verified, and their safety profiles will be rigorously vetted despite company assurances that the FDA’s safety data milestones have been achieved, Hahn said.

The prospect of imminent vaccines has provided a light at the end of a dark tunnel to Americans facing uncontrolled spread of the pandemic disease and record cases, hospitalizations and deaths.

“The bottom line is we can’t determine at this point, despite the very optimistic reporting in the press and what we’ve heard,” Hahn said.

Career scientists at the FDA are reviewing raw data from the Pfizer and Moderna trials for the first time, investigating any adverse events or side effects that transpired over the course of the trials, different levels of effectiveness among populations and age groups, and whether individuals who were already infected by the coronavirus might have had any unexpected reactions to the vaccine doses.

Hahn said they will also be looking for evidence that the vaccines lead to increased respiratory infections – a concern with vaccines researched and developed for other coronaviruses – and whether the use of a relatively new method of vaccine development poses any significant risks.

Rankings: USC drops down to No. 20 From Page B1 by surging 41-year-old coach Matt Campbell. The Cyclones (7-2) bounced from No. 13 to No. 9 because they had just bounced then-No. 17 Texas out of the rankings entirely with a 20-16 win Friday in Austin. Northwestern (5-1) yielded its spot at No. 8 after its naughty 29-20 loss Saturday at Michigan State, falling to No. 14.

And for all the form, this second set of rankings this season did produce a meaningful distinction.

When the Raginâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Cajuns of Louisiana Lafayette (8-1) debuted on the list at No. 25, they joined No. 7 Cincinnati, No. 13 BYU (9-0), No. 18 Coastal Carolina (9-0), No. 21 Marshall (7-0) and No. 24 Tulsa (5-1) to make it six ranked teams outside the Power Five conferences. That represented the most in the seven-season history of a playoff concept often viewed as snooty toward the sportâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s financial underlings.

Earlier, Tuesday had brought relevant news from Ohio State and from the ACC. The Buckeyes

announced they would resume football practice after suspending it late last week, aiming to shore up their game total come Saturday by playing at Michigan State without Coach Ryan Day, homebound in isolation after his positive test. The Buckeyes must play that game and the one Dec. 12 against Michigan to meet the sixgame minimum for Big Ten championship game qualification. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s even as the College Football Playoff does not require such a minimum and retains the freedom to choose Ohio State.

Then the ACC announced a late rearrangement of its addled schedule. It said it would judge its teams on nine games rather than 10 for its championship game of Dec. 19, gave both Notre Dame and Clemson the week off Dec. 12 and wound up securing a berth in that game for Notre Dame, its gilded one-season football interloper. The other spot probably will go to Clemson but maybe to No. 10 Miami (7-1), which otherwise would play at Duke on Dec. 5, at home against North Carolina on Dec. 12 and at home

against Georgia Tech on Dec. 19, a rescheduled game on the same day as the championship game.

To the loudest question from last week, the answer was fairly quiet.

BYU inched from No. 14, a ranking seen by some as a slight, to No. 13, a ranking that will be seen by some as a slight. Barta cited the relative toothlessness of BYUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s schedule, a schedule Athletic Director Tom Holmoe patched together after the harsh dominoes of the late summer found the independent Cougars down to three scheduled games.

As quarterback Zach Wilson has begun turning up in sentences around the proper noun â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heisman,â&#x20AC;? the Cougarsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; rout-filled slate has gone through Navy (55-3), Troy (48-7), Louisiana Tech (45-14), Texas San Antonio (27-20), Houston (43-26), Texas State (52-14), Western Kentucky (41-10), Boise State (51-17) and North Alabama (66-14). They have San Diego State left on Dec. 12. For now, top10-wise, they lurk behind No. 11 Oklahoma (6-2) and No. 12 Indiana (5-1).

Further west, the Pac-12, which started

even later than the Big Ten, lost a rankings traction that already counted as mild. From having No. 15 Oregon (3-0) and No. 18 Southern California (3-0), it shifted to No. 20 USC (still 3-0), No. 22 Washington (3-0) and No. 23 Oregon (now 3-1).
