...first morning of the 2005 school year held more than the typical jitters for Toni Kay Scott. One moment, the seventh-grader, known as T.K., was stepping from her mom's Ford pickup to join friends in front of Redwood Middle School in Napa, Calif. Minutes later, the police officer assigned to watch arriving students was steering her toward the principal's office...
...Amangani defines itself further with an unlikely fusion of Asian-inspired elegance and rustic grandeur. Slate floors and minimalist decor lighten redwood-paneled rooms warmed by log fires. Rawhide-and-rattan chairs are paired with black terrazzo tables in the 65-seat restaurant, whose eclectic menu stretches from Peking duck to elk steak.

From the air, the San Andreas stands out as a linear gash in the earth's surface that is easy to spot. On the ground, however, it is often hard to read, particularly north and south of San Francisco where it strays offshore, runs through dense redwood forests and even disappears beneath houses and streets. In many populated areas, it's impossible to tell just where the active strands of the fault lie because so many features have been filled in or bulldozed away...
