Cal loses 21-3 to No. 22 Stanford in Big Game
San Jose Mercury News
BERKELEY, Calif.—The clusters of empty seats and the silence at the end of the first Big Game at remodeled Memorial Stadium won't quiet the critics of California coach Jeff Tedford this season.
Feds End Argument Where Sir Francis Drake Landed; Point Reyes in Marin County; Enjoy the View!
The federal government has apparently ended a 433-year-old historical controversy by determining that English sea captain and explorer Sir Francis Drake came ashore in what is now a county in the San Francisco Bay area when he claimed California for England.
For years, some historians and other scholars said Drake landed on the Point Reyes Peninsula, north of San Francisco, in Marin County.
But others pointed to what they considered evidence that Drake landed in locations ranging from San Francisco Bay to Alaska, Oregon, British Columbia or other sites along the California coast.
Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar apparently ended the controversy this week when he designated the Drake site as Point Reyes in Marin County as one of 27 spots nationwide that are national historic or natural landmarks

How Are 7-Inch Tablets Doing? Are the customers waiting for the iPad Mini?
How Are 7-Inch Tablets Doing?
By BRIAN X. CHEN
Apple is widely expected to introduce a smaller, cheaper version of its iPad on Tuesday, perhaps in response to the crop of 7-inch tablets that have popped up in the last year. But how are those tablets even doing anyway?
To date, Apple has sold about 84 million iPads. Amazon’s Kindle Fire, the second-best-selling tablet, has sold about seven million units; Barnes and Noble has sold about five million Nook tablets; and Google has sold about three million Nexus 7 tablets, according to estimates by Forrester.
