structural problems like cracks in the concrete...." some of the cracks are quite visible, others not so much. there is no immediate danger, not with the reservoir only a third full right now but the area downstream of the dam is densely populated. the problems with the spillway at anderson are not unlike those that led to the failure of the spillway at the oroville dam back in february, leading to the emergency evacuation of tens of thousands of people in harms way.marty grimes/santa clara valley water district "....because of what happened in oroville dam owners throughout the state are taking a much deeper look at their spillwaysand seeing if we have similar vulnerabilities and it turns out we do have some vulnerabilities that we need to take careof...."(map)it isn't just anderson dam. the concrete spillways at guadalupe dam and calero dam

in hillssouth of san jose also have extensive cracks that could some day undermine the bedrock beneath, similar to what happened in oroville. the dams and spillways were designed and built decades ago and require regular maintenance marty grimes "....it's important to recognize that our spillways performed well. they performed well last winter and they arent used all that often but we do have an on going seismic retrofit program happening which is already addressing some these same issues..."indeed, the anderson dam spillway held up just fine when the reservoir overflowed last winter for the first time in ten years but the ensuing flood resulted in a $100 million dollarsin damage. rob fladeboe"....until the seismic retro fits and repairs are complete the three reservoir will be kept well below capacity out of an abundance of caution. in morgan hill rob fladeboe kron 4 news (catherine) more than a million acres have been burned by wildfires this year...leaving many

a little present for raider nation-- for as puzzling as it may seem, there is still a smidgen of a chance for the raiders to make the playoffs. however, keep in mind, it is a very, very, very small chance. less than one percent to be exact... because they have to win out and hope several other teams lose---including the bills,titans, chargers and ravens. they have a huge test monday night....when they visit the eagles in philly. at 12-and-2, the birds have the best mark in football... and even without carson wentz, they are still expected to make a deep playoff run. from here on out, nick foles

is in charge of the offense raider fans know him as the guy that threw 7-touchdowns against them a few years ago. jack del rio...on the highest-scoring offense in football. "they've been very explosive. doug has done a great job of going in there. they have over 30 points a game. i think they're in the positive turnover ratio, plus-9, plus-10, right in that area, which is what you want to be. it helps you be explosive like that. they have a good football team. they're good in all three phases."
