Serra junior quarterback Luke Bottari looked left once, then twice. He checked to the right, then came back left again before completing a pass to a running back for about a 25-yard completion. It might have seemed like a meaningless play in a a 47-14 win over St. Ignatius a month ago, but it was unforgettable to Serra coach Patrick Walsh. “He went through five progressions,” Walsh said. “He threw a swing pass on the backside of a fifth progression.

Feinstein, D-Calif., has repeatedly called since 2000 for a Southern Crossing, an idea that has been around since the 1940s, but has been rejected in recent years as too costly and environmentally problematic.

But even those modest movements could count as notable in a year that's been unusually calm and easy for investors. It was the fourth straight loss for the index... Читать дальше...
