Fire storm rages through Oakland neighborhoods
The Associated Press
OAKLAND, Calif.  A wind-driven brush fire exploded into a fire storm yesterday as it roared through neighborhoods in the hills above Oakland, engulfing hundreds of homes and killing 10 people, authorities said.
Residents ran into streets, clutching their belongings. Gusts whipped flames as high as 100 feet through dry brush and thick smoke blocked out the streets. A few of the streetlights through streets filled with flaming debris and lined with burning trees.
The fire moved quickly from street to street, then hillside to hillside, making a deafening roar as it charred neighborhoods. Many residents said they only had time to grab photos and documents.
"The trees were exploding. It looked like the Fourth of July. I think we lost everything. I think it all gone," said Jennifer, who fled with his wife and daughter.

Four women approached the American Civil Liberties Union earlier this semester and said that they had been sexually harassed by law school faculty members, the ACLU announced Friday.
The women, two current and two former KU law students, were unhappy about how complaints they filed earlier this year were handled by the university of Kansas, said Ron Nelson, a cooperating attorney for the ACLU.
Four women file complaints
Since mid-September, the ACLU has investigated the complaints and how KU has handled them, accorded to the release released Friday by the ACLU.
Throughout the summer and fall, students have said they have heard rumors of sexual harassment charges at the law school. But grievances filed with the University are confidential.
"We want to follow the procedures properly while still protecting the rights of both parties involved. When you are following the proper procedures, things may take a long time."

Lawrence, KC area offer unique choices at farmers' markets
The sophisticated shopper can find everything from fresh vegetables to a place for browsing
By Meg Buffkin Special to the Kansan
For centuries, farmers and merchants have headed toward the center of town at the end of the week to sell their products. They still do. Three of these markets are in the Lawrence area for students to visit to find fresh fruits and vegetables, flowers or great gift ideas.
The Lawrence Farmers Market, 11th and Vermont streets, opens every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday morning.
If eating the freshest fruits and vegetables around is important to students, then the Lawrence Market offers the best selection. Also for sale are many beautiful handmade wreaths and home decorations.
The Overland Park Farmers Market, 79th and Marty streets, one block west of Metcalf, is much like the Lawrence Market, only bigger. The Overland Park Market sells more fresh vegetables and fruits than anything else. There are a few stands that sell some of the most beautiful bouquets of flowers in the
area, and other stands sell crafted items, be most of them are wreaths or crafts made from their home grown dried fruits. If students need a gift for someone who loves natural or handmade items, or just a gorgeous bouquet of flowers, then the Overland Park Farmers Market is the place to discover.
The largest of the three area markets is itf Riverfront City Market, at Fifth Street downtown Kansas City, Mo. This market not only the biggest but also the oldest of the three markets, and it has a wide variety just about anything the college shopper coul want.
There are several good restaurants ar
outdoor cafes that surround the outdoor shoot
ing area. In this area there are many diffe
ent stands and booths selling everything fro
pure to sweatshirts.
Around the edge of the market area aloar with the restaurants are small stores set to half indoors and half outdoors that sell a kinds of meats and breads. There also an several places to shop for ethnic foods the students might have trouble finding in neighborhood grocery stores.
