THE BOO! ISSUE

Local leaders discuss racism during Samohi public meeting

BY ASHLEY ARCHIBALD Daily Press Staff Writer

Despite missing starting running back Kori Garcia, who sat due to a mild concussion, the Vikings were able to muster four scores on the ground with senior Donovan Citrowski scoring a pair of touchdowns.

Running backs London Lewis and Will Taylor also scored for Samohi during a win that keeps the Vikings’ league crown hopes alive.

“We played bad as a team,” said linebacker Chris Collins, who is being recruited by Boise State among others. “We need to come back harder next week against Culver City.”

All the disclaimers by the coach and players aside, the game was another

SAMOHI A diverse assortment of Santa Monica city officials, school board dignitaries and community members gathered at Santa Monica High School Saturday to discuss an issue that lurks on the periphery of polite conversation — racism.

The event, called a Dialogue on Race, was one of several structured discussions on the origins, consequences and ultimate resolution of uneven race relations in Santa Monica, with an emphasis of their impacts on the learning environment in the Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District.

From that perspective, five members of the Board of Education attended, as well as City Manager Rod Gould, representatives from the health community and Darrell Goode, president of the Santa Monica and Venice chapter of the NAACP. SMMUSD staff convened the event in response to an alleged racial incident involving wrestlers at Samohi that came to light just before the end of the past school year.

According to police reports, a young African American wrestler was chained to a locker by two other juveniles after walking by a wrestling dummy that had been placed near a rope tied in a noose-like configuration.

An alternative explanation, put forward by the parent of one of the boys involved, held that the supposed noose was a normal way to prep the dummy for wrestling practice.

The Santa Monica Police Department investigation on the matter has been sent to the District Attorney for consideration.

Whatever that investigation yields, the conversation Saturday veered away from the specifics of the incident, and focused on a more fundamental issue — the prevailing feeling amongst minority groups that the specter of racism, often felt but never discussed, negatively impacts the education of children in the school district.

MAKING PLAYS: Samohi wide receiver Michael Jordan runs for a gain against Morningside on Friday at Santa Monica College. Samohi won, 27-7.

HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL

Vikings down Morningside on homecoming

BY DANIEL ARCHULETA Managing Editor

CORSAIR FIELD The fans were cheering, the team was singing the school’s fight song, but Samohi head coach Travis Clark was fuming despite dispatching Morningside, 27-7, Friday during homecoming at Santa Monica College.

The win improved Santa Monica High School’s football team to 7-1 overall and 3-0 in Ocean League play, but it didn’t sit well with Clark who thought his team left points on the field thanks to penalties and sloppy play.

"Tonight was a big night and I'm happy we got through it," Clark said. "We won, but we have to clean some stuff up."

Chief among Samohi’s miscues came on a long fourth quarter punt return by Sebastian LaRue that was called back thanks to an illegal block penalty. A pair of interceptions by quarterback Christian Salem also didn’t please Clark, but he said he can live with his signal caller’s aggressive play, even if it does result in turnovers at times.

Aside from upsetting their coach, Samohi’s ability to run the ball saved the day for the Vikings.

“That’s where we want to be,” Morningside head coach Sheron Butler said of Samohi’s ability to tote the rock. “We’re almost there if we can clean up some of our mental mistakes. We came out and battled, I’m pleased with that.”

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

SMC comes back to win, 26-22

BY WAYNE NEAL Special to the Daily Press

CORSAIR FIELD Defense again carried the day for the Santa Monica College Corsairs as they defeated L.A.Valley, 26-22, on Saturday at home.

The Corsairs were able to get the necessary stops and even came up with a bit turnover late in the game that helped SMC improve to 5-2 overall and 3-0 in conference play.

The Corsairs got out to their usual slow start allowing the Monarchs to go into half with a 22-13 lead largely due to the Monarchs running game which was able to rush for 138 yards in the first two quarters.

All three touchdowns came on the ground as the Monarchs were clearly frustrating the Corsair defense with their counter pitches.

The Corsairs were able to get on the board in the second quarter on a five yard touchdown run by running back Myles Johnson and late in the quarter a 34 yard touchdown pass from quarterback Alfonso Medina to wide receiver Kris Comas that left the Corsairs looking at a 22-13 deficit going into halftime.

Corsair defensive lineman Gerald Blockman reminded his team what defen-

‘Shrek’ spinoff ‘Puss in Boots’ tops box office JAKE COYLE AP Entertainment Writer

NEW YORK The “Shrek” spinoff “Puss in Boots” landed on all fours, opening with an estimated $34 million to lead the box office.

The DreamWorks 3-D animated film, distributed by Paramount Pictures, proved the popular character voiced by Antonio Banderas was a big enough draw outside the “Shrek” franchise.

The PG-rated “Puss in Boots” scored with family audiences on the weekend before Halloween and also drew a large Hispanic crowd, which made up 35 percent of its audience.

Though the box office for the top 12 movies was up 7.8 percent from the corresponding weekend last year, it was still affected by both the unseasonable winter

storm on the East Coast and the appeal of the game 7 broadcast of the World Series on Friday night. DreamWorks estimated the storm took off several million dollars from “Puss in Boots.”

The new release on the weekend from 20th Century Fox, the Justin Timberlake sci-fi thriller “In Time,” was down as much as 20 percent Saturday in markets like New York and Philadelphia.

But the largest estimated opening didn’t happen in North America. “The Adventures of Tintin,” which is being distributed overseas by Sony Pictures and Paramount Pictures, opened in 19 international markets and hauled in $55.8 million.

The performance-capture 3-D animated film, directed by Steven Spielberg and adapted from the beloved Belgian comic series, was especially popular in France,

where its $21.5 million was the largest opening for a non-sequel Hollywood film.

The film opens in the U.S. on Dec. 21.

“We’re still waiting for the holiday season to kick in in earnest as we get into November,” said Paul Dergarabedian, boxoffice analyst for Hollywood.com. “The holiday season is going to be very strong at the box office.”

Paramount also claimed the weekend’s second top performing movie with the lowbudget horror flick “Paranormal Activity 3.” That film took in $18.5 million in its second week of release, bringing its cumulative total to $81.3 million. Paramount’s “Footloose” was the fourth film on the weekend, adding $5.4 million for a threeweek total of $38.4 million.

Nevada sheriff tracing man with local ties ASSOCIATED PRESS PAHRUMP, Nev. A Nevada sheriff 's investigator says authorities are trying to determine if a 43-year-old convicted sex offender victimized children in places where he used to live in Southern California, Florida, Missouri and New Jersey.

Nye County sheriff 's Detective David Boruchowitz says Christopher Kinder used to live in the Santa Monica, Calif., and South Amboy, N.J., areas, Fort Myers, Fla., and Springfield Mo. Kinder was arrested Thursday in rural Pahrump. He is jailed on $25 million bail pending a court appearance on 5,000 possession of child pornography charges, plus drug and failure to register as an ex-felon charges.

Boruchowitz says detectives found sexually explicit images of hundreds of children after seizing Kinder's laptop in a warrant search at his home about 60 miles west of Las Vegas.

Enough with oil and coal Editor:

Coal and oil are making us sick. Pollution from burning oil and coal spurs a host of serious, life-threatening health problems, inflicting children with asthma, stifling childhood development and cutting short thousands of lives. Oil and coal are also destroying our nation's economic health. By tying us to dirty 19th century energy sources, these corporate polluters are wreaking havoc on our health. To these corporate polluters, our health is worth less than their profits. They want to continue polluting with no limits. We need to hold corporate polluters accountable. We cannot continue to let them ruin our children's health so they can make an extra buck — they're making us sick. By moving to wind, solar and other clean energy sources, we reduce pollution and can create good jobs and build prosperity.

City Hall horror stories

Kevin Herrera editor@smdp.com

MANAGING EDITOR Daniel Archuleta daniela@smdp.com

CITY HALL DOESN'T LIKE TO HEAR

from the people — or troubled spirits — when they're unhappy. After all, Santa Monica is supposed to be about happy people in a happy place.

But, you have a complaint so you phone, e-mail, Tweet or send a fax. You're critical of a council proposition, a staff proposal or some grand scheme put forth by insiders — it doesn't matter whether it's about cutting down palm trees on Georgina, the 13 years it's taking to "green" 20th Street or not providing a reason why your parking citation appeal was declined. City Hall handles complainers in a variety of ways.

Response one: Ignore. Earlier this year, I wrote four columns about how expensive the new Pico Branch Library was before someone from the City Manager's office offered an explanation. I write for the daily newspaper. Imagine how the general public is treated? Ignore and hope you'll tire and just go away. Don't respond. This City Hall strategy is, "avoid and conquer."

Response two: Do nothing. You have a suggestion for City Hall. Someone will eventually say, “Thanks for the input" (because we're going to ignore it). You may also hear, “That's a new one.” Still, nothing is done. This is "What? Me worry?"

Response three: "Talk to someone else." This is the response I received from City Hall's Farmers’ Market supervisor when I complained about a Saturday Pico Market prepared foods vendor's health code violations and lack of Los Angeles County Health Department permits. This is "passing the buck."

Response four: "We're still working on it."

That’s what the City Attorney’s office has told me over the past year when I ask about progress in evicting non-qualifying owners/residents from deed-restricted rental units at the Dorchester House condos as per its development agreement with City Hall.

This strategy is “stall and conquer.”

Response five: "You're the only one complaining about this." "Funny, you're the first person to ever mention this." Ever? In other words, you're issue is unique and different.

An anomaly. Deny, deny, deny. This is "divide and conquer."

Response six: "You don't understand,” “Your facts are wrong” or “You're oversimplifying." They try to make you think you're confused and uninformed, so you'll just drop it. This is "dismiss and conquer."

Response seven: "He's nuts." They quietly label you crazy or an oddball. You have “no credibility.” "You're always complaining." In other words, you're the lunatic fringe, a wacko or just evil. This is "crazify and conquer.”

You've recruited allies and upped the

ante, distributed flyers, sent e-mails and published letters to the editor. This really gets City Hall's goat because you've "gone public" and paraded your issue in front of thousands of citizens. City Hall knows the heat is on. There are two options in dealing with this escalation.

Option one: Co-opt and make promises.

Those in power — and we're also talking about the Santa Monicans for Renters' Rights clique — suggest an appointment to a city board or commission, but you must stop carping and get with their program. Run for City Council or school board?

Forgeddabout it! If you continue your wicked, evil ways, you'll never work in this town again or be invited to a Twilight Dance Series backstage party. Oh, the horror.

Option two: Counterattack. City Hall strikes back with its own spin.

Newspaper articles, the Seascape, City TV and council proclamations all scream, "This is great.” “We're on it.” “Our critics are misguided.” Classic example: Expo Light Rail on Colorado Avenue.

City Hall then tries to win over citizens with the "community meeting." These have one main purpose: to get you on board with their agenda. You'll be treated to a dog-andpony show led by a highly paid, outside consultant hired because he or she have the same mindset as staff and the City Council and provides a slick PowerPoint presentation with lots of colorful visuals.

When people speak, staff patiently listens. Public comments are written down on big pads of paper with colored markers. You may even get to play with colored blocks.

You're told your input will be integrated into their process.

Later, you'll find out most public comments have been ignored (because the "deal was done" way before the community meeting.) "Thanks for participating in our democratic process."

My friends and I have experienced all of the above. We've all received non-specific threats from "unknown sources" and hints of retribution if we continue our ways.

As veterans of the local political wars, we all wear our experiences like badges of honor. Sometimes we win and sometimes we lose. But, the fun is playing the game and it's especially thrilling to catch someone in City Hall with their pants down.

skeptic of global warming spent two years trying to find out if mainstream climate scientists were wrong. In the end, he determined they were right: Temperatures really are rising rapidly.

The study of the world's surface temperatures by Richard Muller was partially bankrolled by a foundation connected to global warming deniers. He pursued longheld skeptic theories in analyzing the data.

He was spurred to action because of "Climategate," a British scandal involving hacked emails of scientists.

Yet he found that the land is 1.6 degrees warmer than in the 1950s. Those numbers from Muller,who works at the University of California, Berkeley and Lawrence Berkeley National Lab, match those by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and NASA. He said he went even further back, studying readings from Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson. His ultimate finding of a warming world, to be presented at a conference Monday, is no different from what mainstream climate scientists have been saying for decades.

What's different, and why everyone from opinion columnists to "The Daily Show" is paying attention is who is behind the study.

One-quarter of the $600,000 to do the research came from the Charles Koch Foundation, whose founder is a major funder of skeptic groups and the tea party. The Koch brothers, Charles and David, run a large privately held company involved in oil and other industries, producing sizable greenhouse gas emissions.

Muller's research team carefully examined two chief criticisms by skeptics. One is that weather stations are unreliable; the other is that cities, which create heat islands, were skewing the temperature analysis.

"The skeptics raised valid points and everybody should have been a skeptic two years ago," Muller said in a telephone interview. "And now we have confidence that the temperature rise that had previously been reported had been done without bias."

Muller said that he came into the study "with a proper skepticism," something scientists "should always have. I was somewhat bothered by the fact that there was not enough skepticism" before.

There is no reason now to be a skeptic about steadily increasing temperatures, Muller wrote recently in The Wall Street Journal's editorial pages, a place friendly to

skeptics. Muller did not address in his research the cause of global warming. The overwhelming majority of climate scientists say it's man-made from the burning of fossil fuels such as coal and oil. Nor did his study look at ocean warming, future warming and how much of a threat to mankind climate change might be.

Still, Muller said it makes sense to reduce the carbon dioxide created by fossil fuels.

"Greenhouse gases could have a disastrous impact on the world," he said. Still, he contends that threat is not as proven as the Nobel Prize-winning Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change says it is.

On Monday, Muller was taking his results — four separate papers that are not yet published or peer-reviewed, but will be, he says — to a conference in Santa Fe, N.M., expected to include many prominent skeptics as well as mainstream scientists.

"Of course he'll be welcome," said Petr Chylek of Los Alamos National Lab, a noted skeptic and the conference organizer. "The purpose of our conference is to bring people with different views on climate together, so they can talk and clarify things."

Shawn Lawrence Otto, author of the book "Fool Me Twice" that criticizes science skeptics, said Muller should expect to be harshly treated by global warming deniers. "Now he's considered a traitor. For the skeptic community, this isn't about data or fact. It's about team sports. He's been traded to the Indians.

He's playing for the wrong team now."

And that started on Sunday, when a British newspaper said one of Muller's coauthors, Georgia Tech climate scientist Judith Curry, accused Muller of another Climategate-like scandal and trying to "hide the decline" of recent global temperatures.

The Associated Press contacted Curry on Sunday afternoon and she said in an email that Muller and colleagues "are not hiding any data or otherwise engaging in any scientifically questionable practice."

The Muller "results unambiguously show an increase in surface temperature since 1960," Curry wrote Sunday. She said she disagreed with Muller's public relations efforts and some public comments from Muller about there no longer being a need for skepticism.

Muller's study found that skeptics' concerns about poor weather station quality didn't skew the results of his analysis because temperature increases rose similarly in reliable and unreliable weather stations. He also found that while there is an urban heat island effect making cities warmer, rural areas, which are more abundant, are warming, too.

CASHING IN: Only 10 U.S. states have ‘bottle bills’ requiring deposits on some beverage containers so consumers will return them. Those states recycle 70 percent of their bottles and cans, 2.5 times more than states without bottle bills. The beverage industry has spent millions fighting bottle bill legislation, even though beverage containers make up 5.6 percent of the U.S. waste stream.

Incentives for recycling Dear EarthTalk Why don't more states mandate deposits on beverage bottles as incentives for people to return them? Most bottles I've seen only list a few states on them.

known as container recycling laws, mandate that certain types of beverage containers require a small deposit (usually five or ten cents) at checkout beyond the price of the beverage itself. Customers can return the empty containers later and reclaim their nickels and dimes. The idea is to provide a financial incentive for consumers to recycle and to force industry to re-use the raw materials.

According to the Container Recycling Institute (CRI), a California-based nonprofit which encourages the collection and recycling of packaging materials (and runs the website BottleBill.org), the benefits of bottle bills include: supplying recyclable materials for a high-demand market; conserving energy, natural resources and landfill space; creating new businesses and green jobs; and reducing waste disposal costs and litter. The 10 U.S. states that currently have container recycling laws recycle at least 70 percent of their bottles and cans; this amounts to a recycling rate 2.5 times higher than in states without bottle bills.

Beverage containers make up a whopping 5.6 percent of the overall U.S. waste stream, so every bottle and can that gets recycled counts toward freeing up landfill space. And CRI reports that beverage containers account for some 20 percent of the greenhouse gas emissions resulting from landfilling municipal solid waste and replacing the wasted products with new ones made from virgin feedstock. So by promoting more recycling, bottle bills indirectly reduce our carbon footprints.

The 10 U.S. states with bottle bills are

California, Connecticut, Hawaii, Iowa, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, New York, Oregon and Vermont. Delaware's legislature repealed its bottle bill after almost three decades on the books last year as the state's bottle recycling rate had dropped to just 12 percent due to more and more retailers refusing to deal with the hassle of accepting returned containers. In place of its bottle bill, Delaware enacted a $0.04/bottle recycling fee that will help defray the costs of starting up a curbside recycling pickup system to service the entire state.

“We are extremely disappointed they chose to repeal their law, rather than enforce it,” reported CRI's Susan Collins, adding that the new fee places a burden on consumers only. “Consumers will be subsidizing the producers and that is unfair.” CRI supports “extended producer responsibility” where producers and consumers together pay for the life cycle costs of product packaging.

Beyond Delaware, the main reason bottle bills haven't caught on is because of opposition to them by the beverage industry, which doesn't want to bear the costs of recycling and claims that the extra nickel or dime on the initial cost of the beverage is enough to turn potential customers away. The U.S. Public Interest Research Group (USPIRG) found that the beverage industry and its representatives spent about $14 million in campaign contributions aimed at defeating a national bottle bill between 1989 and 1994. Meanwhile, members of a Senate committee who voted against national bottle bill legislation in 1992 received some 75 times more in beverage-industry PAC money than those who voted in favor of the bill.

FROM PAGE 1

FROM PAGE 1 SMMUSD is plagued by a wide gap in achievement between minority students and their white or Asian counterparts, a phenomenon which earned it a failing grade on a scale created by independent nonprofit Education Trust West.

Ensuring that every child feels comfortable in the classroom and gets an equal education is the ultimate goal of the district, said Board of Education President Jose Escarce in his opening remarks.

“We know that we are far from that ideal,” he said.

The assembled individuals broke off into eight groups moderated by a pair of facilitators, one from the school establishment and the other from an unrelated organization, like the SMPD. Each group took 90 minutes to discuss three topics set forth by James Williams III, a moderator on loan from the Department of Justice.

“You're going to look at who we are as a community, where we are, what is our vision for the shared space that we occupy and what we're willing to do to manifest that vision,” Williams told the groups.

Moderators broke down that massive charge into a series of probing questions that examined what race relations look like now, what actions or events have taken place to improve them and what the community, schools and other organizations must do to fulfill that commitment.

The group conversations themselves were confidential, but each elected two members to report out the meat of the dialogue.

The Vikings, at 3-0 in league, control their destiny, a fact that pleases Clark.

“We’re where we want to be,” Clark said.

“We just have to keep punching people in the mouth.” daniela@smdp.com

Ideas ranged from the most simple — becoming advocates for change at public meetings — to the creative extreme of crosscultural home exchanges between students in the district as a way of breaking down stereotypes and exposing students to other lifestyles.

Participants were then asked to place green stickers next to issues raised that they found the most compelling.

Equitable funding for schools, use of programs that specifically target achievement for minority groups and creation of ethnic studies curriculum topped the list.

Funding has been at the forefront of conversations within the school district, which is examining a move toward district-wide fundraising so that schools with less fundraising power do not fall behind their wealthier counterparts.

Participants were encouraged to attend any of two Board of Education meetings taking place Nov. 3 and 17, where district-wide fundraising will be discussed.

“There was a rich dialogue,” said Superintendent Sandra Lyon. “There were a lot of ideas here.”

Rodney Lyttle, a visiting representative from Warren Wilson College invited to the event by school officials, found the conversation “fascinating,” and appreciated the variety of people focused on pushing forward to the next steps in the racial dialogue.

“What surprises me more is there should have been three times as many people here,” Lyttle said. “This affects everybody.”

The next dialogue on race, which will continue the work begun at Saturday's meeting, will take place Saturday, Feb 4, 2012. ashley@smdp.com

The game could very well have been a shutout, but Morningside was able to score a late touchdown following a Samohi fumble deep in their own territory.

TRYING TO MAKE THE GRAB: Santa Monica College wide receiver Kris Comas (right) tries to make a catch against L.A. Valley on Saturday. SMC would come back to win the game, 26-22.

SMC FROM PAGE 3 sive coordinator Steven Garcia said, “Play assignment football, and go back to basics.”

The Corsairs came out of the break fired up as they held the Monarchs scoreless in the second half.

The same Corsair defense that allowed 138 yards on the ground during the first half were able to limit L.A. Valley to just 20 yards during the second.

The Corsairs were looking to rally heading into the fourth quarter as quarterback Medina would run it in for a one yard touchdown to bring them within two points.

BOX OFFICE FROM PAGE 3 “In Time” opened with $12 million domestically but took in more ($14.5 million) overseas.

The biggest disappointment was “The Rum Diary,” the Hunter S. Thompson adaption starring Johnny Depp. It earned just $5 million, a low figure for a film headlined by Depp that cost an estimated $50 million to make.

But the solid opening for “Puss in Boots” was much needed for DreamWorks. The company said Tuesday its net income fell by half in the third quarter as its early summer release, “Kung Fu Panda 2,” did not haul in as much at the box office as last year’s “Shrek Forever After.”

Defensive lineman Karl Buchanon came up with a big fumble recovery midway through the fourth quarter inside of their own 40 yard line that set up a four yard touchdown run by running back Daniel Pipkin that gave the Corsairs the lead.

Reviews and audience reaction have been positive for “Puss in Boots.” Its release date was moved up a week to essentially give the film more time to run in theaters before other large fall movies are released. It added $17 million internationally, with most of that coming from Russia.

“We always looked at this as a two-weekend release strategy, so we think we’ve got a good start on that plan,” said Anne Globe, head of worldwide marketing and consumer products at DreamWorks. “Being the No. 1 movie and the likely Halloween weekend record-breaker, we’re well-positioned to go into week two, as well as play through the holidays.”

Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Hollywood.com. Final domestic figures will be released Monday.

Fan doesn’t regret handing over Game 6 ball JIM SUHR Associated Press

ST. LOUIS As hordes of other St. Louis Cardinals fans turned out Sunday to swaddle themselves in their team's improbable World Series title, Dave Huyette was counting his blessings rather than the riches he might have received had greed overtaken sportsmanship.

Just three days earlier, Huyette briefly held history in his hands from a World Series game considered one for the ages, winning the dash to a walkoff, 11th-inning home run ball David Freese plunked onto a grassy knoll behind Busch Stadium's center-field fence, propelling the Cardinals into the decisive Game 7 they won the next night.

The Illinois radiologist with a 5-year-old son could have cashed in, given that iconic home run balls have fetched tens — at times hundreds — of thousands of dollars on the memorabilia market. But Huyette would have none of that, knowing that giving the ball to Freese "was the honorable thing to do." So he did.

On Sunday, there were no regrets.

"I'm not financially needy, and I knew I didn't want any money," Huyette, 39, told The Associated Press by telephone from his home in Maryville, Ill., figuring hawking the ball stood to make him "an enemy in my town."

Freese — named the MVP of the World Series and the NL championship series before it — rewarded Huyette after Thursday night's game with an autographed bat, a baseball signed by the Cardinals and a picture with him. An auto-parts company

threw in tickets for Huyette to the series' finale.

Valuable spoils indeed, all of them partly because Huyette — an Iowa native attending his first-ever World Series game — had positioned himself for that rare moment when luck and history collide, even if initially he wasn't even planning to be there.

Huyette had shelled out nearly $1,100 for tickets to Game 6, which he planned to attend with Chicago Cubs-loving pal Jeremy Reiland only to see it postponed for a day to Thursday because rain loomed in St. Louis.

Huyette mulled selling the tickets, voicing to Reiland indifference about going. Reiland talked him out of it.

From their right-centerfield seats on Thursday night, Huyette and Reiland — two in a record crowd of 47,325 — had an inkling a home run ball would come their way and for each of the last four innings they waited for it. They knew chasing down a home run ball could get them ejected, but they waved that off.

"At least half-jokingly, I was putting my foot up over the rope as if I was going to be springing onto the grass," recalled Huyette, who even texted a half dozen people to watch for them on television going after a home run ball.

"I just kinda had a feeling," he said. "I'm not sure why."

With two outs and down to his last strike as the Cardinals trailed by two in the bottom of the ninth, Freese bounced a game-tying triple off the right-field wall. With the score again knotted at 9 in the bottom of the 11th, as Reiland was returning from a restroom run, Freese turned heroic.

SHEPARD

■ Though South Korean children score among the highest in the world on standardized reading and math tests, their success comes at a price, according to an October Time magazine dispatch.

They supposedly suffer "educational masochism" -- punishing themselves by overstudy, especially in high school preparing for university admissions tests (a process so competitive that even test-coaching schools are picky about accepting students). Earlier this year, to curb the "masochism," the government began enforcing a 10 p.m. curfew on coaching-school activities, and in Seoul, a six-man team conducts nightly after-hours raids on classes that run late-night sessions behind shuttered windows.

(Ironically, Time acknowledged, American educational reformers want U.S. students to study harder, like Asians do, but Asian reformers want their students to relax, like American students.)

Riots soon break out in New Delhi and nearly 10,000 Sikhs are killed.

An American Eagle ATR72 crashes in Roselawn, Indiana, after circling in icy weather, killing 68 passengers and crew.

A Fokker F100 operating as TAM Transportes Aéreos Regionais Flight 402 crashes into several houses in São Paulo, Brazil killing 98 including 2 on the ground.
