Organizational failures on the part
of Pacic Gas and Electric like
unclear emergency response plans,
lack of documentation and not hav-
ing completed safety tests led to
and compounded the fatal gas-
fueled explosion in San Bruno last
year, according to an NTSB report
released Tuesday morning.
Nearly a year after the Sept. 9
fatal failure of a 30-inch natural gas
transmission pipeline in the
Glenview neighborhood, the
National Transportation and Safety
Board released its nal report about
the event. Among the discoveries
were multiple deciencies with the
pipe as well as within PG&E, the
company that oversaw the gas line.
Shortly after 6 p.m. Sept. 9, loss of
power at a Milpitas plant set off a
chain of events that resulted in a
large crack in the line under the San
Bruno neighborhood. The leaking
gas ignited a reball that killed
eight, destroyed 38 homes and dam-
aged over 70 homes. It took 95 min-
utes for PG&E to turn the gas off,
according to the NTSB. The report,
along with the morning meeting,
took harsh aim at the local company
and its integrity procedures which

Local startup tries to
make movies social
Flickme offers movies for rent and
purchase with Facebookand Twitter
By Jake Coyle
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Streaming movies might not yet have the equivalent of a the-
ater experience, with roaring crowds crunching on popcorn,
but they are getting more social.
Hollywood studios have increasingly looked to social media
and Facebook, in particular, as a distribution platform. The
early inroads have been experimental, but turning social media
users into audiences is a bright new hope for a Hollywood
looking to counter sagging DVD sales.
On Tuesday, the San Mateo-based social streaming startup
ickme launched a library of more than 1,000 movies for rent
or purchase with Facebook and Twitter integration. It already
has some notable backers: Sony Pictures and Warner Bros. are
participating and noted venture capital rm Sequoia capital has
provided funding.
Founded by Mitch Galbraith and Mark Smallcombe, ickme
marries the communal element of movies with the social ele-
ment of the Web. It began with an observation that the movie

San Mateo County is one of the major
artichoke growing areas in California, a
state that produces nearly all the arti-
chokes in the country, according to uni-
versity research.
While Monterey County accounts for
about 80 percent of the states produc-
tion, there is a strong chance of eating
a San Mateo County artichoke
anywhere in the country. But
the chances are even higher at
several local restaurants that
pride themselves in getting
the unique perennial thistle
from local producers.
Giusti Farms in Half Moon Bay
is the largest producer of artichokes in
San Mateo County, said Ed Riley, who
joined his wife Terry Giusti Rileys
family farm in 1993. Artichokes
from Giusti Farms end up on the
tables of various restaurants
around the county.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
One of two men accused in the beating and
robbery of a man waiting at the Redwood
City Caltrain station for an evening train was
immediately sentenced to 260 days in the
county jail after pleading no contest to sec-
ond-degree burglary and grand theft.
Thomas Nicholas Furman, 19, received
credit for the same amount of time served but
must spend three years on probation. His co-
defendant, Damar Desean Walker, 20, did not
settle his case and is scheduled for a jury trial
Jan. 30 on charges of robbery and assault
with great bodily injury.
The two were arrested for the March 4
attack that left a 47-year-old man hospitalized
in critical condition after surveillance cam-
eras caught them allegedly using the victims
credit card at a pizzeria and liquor store.
The man was attacked at approximately
7:30 p.m. while waiting for a southbound
train at the Redwood City station. Authorities
say the man was surrounded by between nine
and 15 people and Furman demanded to
know what the man had. When the man
reportedly said nothing, Furman asked if he
had jewelry. As the man tried walking away,
the group which allegedly included the defen-
dants blocked his path and Furman pushed
him. Another punched the man in the back of
the head, causing him to fall face rst to the
ground, and the others including Furman and
Walker allegedly ried through his pocket
before eeing.
Walker was already in custody on unrelated
robbery charges when he was arrested for the
Caltrain attack, according to ofcials.
The victim suffered facial fractures and
brain swelling, according to the District
Attorneys Ofce.

With a job, a full-time college schedule and
volunteer projects with organizations such as
Girls For Change, Cynthia Flores still nds
herself thinking of new ways to occupy her
time.
Flores, a junior at San Francisco State
University, is a past recipient of the Chicana
Latina Foundation scholarship, an occurrence
that she marks as a pivotal moment in her life.
The Chicana Latina Foundation scholarship is
offered every year to 30 Latina college stu-
dents in the Bay Area. The foundation is ded-
icated to empowering Hispanic women
through personal, educational and profession-
al advancement.
Cynthia represents the best of our commu-
nity: a highly talented, hard-working young
woman. She has proven herself by redirecting
her life, maintaining a high GPA and being on
the deans list, said Executive Director Olga
Talamante.
While at Sequoia High School, Flores was
disinterested in extra-curricular activities.
I had trouble behaving. If anyone would
propose a project, I would say Id rather go
home, said Flores.
Through the Leadership Institute, a retreat
component of the scholarship, Flores found
the motivation to take initiative with projects
in her area.
Hearing the amazing stories of the women
at the retreat brought something out in me,
said Flores.
The Leadership Institute is held over two
weekends and includes training for inter-
views, grant writing workshops, public speak-
ing training and personal enrichment compo-
nents such as yoga.
We started the institute to develop the
girls leadership skills further and give them
an opportunity to network with each other
because the college experience can often be
isolating for Latinas, said Program
Coordinator Claudia Len.
It was the strong sense of community and
belonging that Flores found most helpful
about the foundation.
Its frustrating when youre often one of
the three Latinos in your class or in your
organization. It was great to nally meet other
women who are in similar situations, said
Flores.
The institute also hosts several speakers,
prominent Latina women in the community
who are invested in the recipients future.
Its great to have them there to look up to
in a different kind of way than anyone else in
my life. They say they are our madrinas or
godmothers, said Flores.
After attending the institute, Flores felt a
stronger sense of direction.
Before, I didnt have the right connections
to get involved with the community like Ive
always wanted to, said Flores.
One project that she has worked on since
attending the institute is the Broadband
Awareness and Adoption Project, an initiative
that is focused on educating the underserved
Latino community about the ins-and-outs of
the Internet. Flores has also been involved
with the organization Girls For A Change in
Redwood City, which pairs up middle school
girls and volunteer mentors to implement
community change projects.
Flores is not alone in her continued efforts
to improve. The Chicana Latina Foundation
has also recently undergone efforts to expand
its programs. Apart from the scholarship, the
foundation is committed to providing support
to middle and high school students through
mentoring and after-school programs.
Were trying to see how we can get more
kids thinking about college, seeing it as an
option, said Len.
As for Flores, she plans to use her newly-
found motivation as a catalyst for her planned
career as a social worker.
Im motivated to keep going. I have the
drive to help my community, said Flores.

Barry Bonds will be back in federal court on
Dec. 16 to be sentenced for his felony obstruc-
tion of justice conviction.
A jury convicted Bonds in April of giving
an evasive, rambling reply when asked
whether he received drugs that required a
syringe. Jurors couldnt unanimously
decide three other perjury charges alleging
that Bonds lied to the grand jury when he
denied knowingly taking human growth
hormone, steroids and receiving injections
from anyone but his doc-
tor.
His conviction carries a
possible sentence of up to
10 years in prison, yet fed-

21 months. For similar

Bill would restrict use of red-light cameras
SACRAMENTO The state Assembly has approved
restrictions on governments use of cameras to catch drivers
who run red lights.
The bill requires that red-light cameras
be used for public safety, not to generate
revenue from trafc nes. It also would
force governments to clearly explain how
to dispute a ticket and post a warning sign
within 200 feet of an intersection with the
cameras.
The Assembly approved it Tuesday on a
50-3 vote.
Sen. Joe Simitian introduced SB29 after
a complaint from one of his constituents. The woman told the
Palo Alto Democrat that she was repeatedly notied that she
had been caught on red-light cameras in Southern California,
but that the photos showed a different car and driver.
The bill returns to the Senate, which approved an earlier ver-
sion.
Bill halting local bans on circumcision advances
SACRAMENTO The state Senate has unanimously
approved a bill that would prohibit local governments from
banning male circumcisions, responding to a proposed ballot
measure in San Francisco.
The San Francisco measure, later blocked by a judge, would
have prohibited the practice for most boys under age 18.
AB768 by Assemblyman Mike Gatto, a Democrat from Los
Angeles, says the practice has health, cultural and other bene-
ts. It says statewide rules are needed to govern circumcisions
and parents authority over seeking the procedure.
Critics say the surgery is unnecessary and can cause children
sexual and mental health problems later in life.
The bill passed 37-0 Tuesday without debate. It returns to the
Assembly for a nal vote on Senate amendments.

WASHINGTON As much as $60
billion in U.S. funds has been lost to
waste and fraud in Iraq and Afghanistan
over the past decade through lax over-
sight of contractors, poor planning and
corruption, an independent panel investi-
gating U.S. wartime spending estimates.
In its nal report to Congress, the
Commission on Wartime Contracting
said the gure could grow as U.S. sup-
port for reconstruction projects and pro-
grams wanes, leaving both countries to
bear the long-term costs of sustaining
the schools, medical clinics, barracks,
roads and power plants already built
with American tax dollars.
Much of the waste and fraud could
have been avoided, the commission said.
Government agencies should overhaul
the way they award and manage con-
tracts in war zones so they dont repeat
the mistakes made in Iraq and
Afghanistan, the commission said.
Among the reports 15 recommenda-
tions are the creation of an inspector
general to monitor contracting during
contingency operations and the appoint-
ment of a senior government ofcial to
improve planning and coordination.
The Associated Press obtained a copy
of the commissions 240-page report in
advance of its scheduled public release
on Wednesday.
Created by Congress in 2008, the
eight-member commission held more
than two dozen hearings, interviewed
hundreds of military and civilian of-
cials and traveled multiple times to Iraq
and Afghanistan. The panels nal report
is the most comprehensive examination
so far of the U.S. dependence on con-
tractors and the governments ability to
manage them in combat areas.
The commission said calculating the
exact amount lost through waste and
fraud is difcult because there is no
commonly accepted methodology for
doing so. But using information it has
gathered over the past three years, the
commission said at least $31 billion has
been lost and the total could be as high
as $60 billion. The commission called
the estimate conservative.
Overall, the commission said spend-
ing on contracts and grants to support
U.S. operations in Iraq and Afghanistan
is expected to exceed $206 billion by the
end of the 2011 budget year. Based on its
investigation, the commission said con-
tracting waste in Afghanistan ranged
from 10 percent to 20 percent of the
$206 billion total. Fraud during the same
period ran between 5 percent and 9 per-
cent of the total, the report said.
Styled after the Truman Committee,
which examined World War II spending
six decades ago, the commission was
vested with broad authority to examine
military support contracts, reconstruc-
tion projects and private security compa-
nies. But the law creating the commis-
sion also dictated that it would cease
operating at the end of September 2011,
even as the U.S. operations in Iraq and
Afghanistan continue to be heavily sup-
ported by contractors.

LOS ANGELES A poll released
Tuesday by the American Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals found
that 35 percent of dog and cat owners
have no plan for dealing with their pets
during a disaster that forces them to
evacuate.
Forty-two percent of dog or cat owners
polled in the survey said they would not
evacuate without their pets, 39 percent
said they would leave them behind and
19 percent said they didnt know what
they would do.
The finding underscores something
emergency management ofcials learned
during Hurricane Katrina six years ago in
New Orleans: Some pet owners wont
evacuate in an emergency if it means
leaving their animals behind, while oth-
ers may be forced to abandon pets.
While Hurricane Irene has come and
gone, September is disaster preparedness
month, and with hurricane season run-
ning through November, the ASPCA is
urging pet owners to identify a place in
advance where they could bring their ani-
mals if they had to evacuate in an emer-
gency. The organization also advocates
microchipping pets as the best way to
make sure owners can be tracked down if
their animals get lost.
New Yorkers hunkering down for Irene
this past weekend were lucky: The city
permitted evacuees to bring pets with
them to designated shelters. And the tran-
sit system, which normally only allows
service dogs or pets in carriers to ride
buses and trains, allowed leashed dogs
onboard as a way of encouraging reluc-
tant pet owners in ood zones to leave.
As a result, said Tim Rickey, the
ASPCAs senior director of eld investi-
gations and response team, several hun-
dred pets were brought to New Yorks
shelters, which had crates and animal
care teams to accommodate them.
In Joplin, Mo., after the tornado in
May killed 160 people, the ASPCA took
1,300 lost or abandoned dogs and cats
into an emergency animal shelter. Fewer
than 5 percent of those animals were
microchipped, said Rickey.
Only 500 of the Joplin pets were
reunited with their owners. The rest were
placed with new owners in a massive
adopt-a-thon that drew 5,700 people
from 24 states.
The ASPCA poll found that nationally,
only 28 percent of dog owners and 24
percent of cat owners say their pets have
embedded microchips. In addition,
according to the survey, 21 percent of
dog owners and 46 percent of cat owners
say their animals dont have any form of
identication that is on them all the time.
The survey, conducted for the ASPCA
by Lake Research Partners between July
30 and Aug. 4, involved landline and cell
phone interviews with 1,005 pet owners
nationwide. It has a margin of sampling
error of plus or minus 3.1 percentage
points.
Rickey has three horses, four goats, 17
chickens, four dogs, two cats, a wife and
two daughters at home in St. Clair, Mo.,
and even though it requires a horse trail-
er, they have an evacuation plan that
includes the whole bunch.
He urges pet owners to always evacu-
ate with your pets. If its not safe for you
to stay, its probably not safe for your
pet. And you never know if you will be
gone for two hours or two weeks, he
added.
Of course, while hurricanes are usual-
ly forecast in advance, tornados leave lit-
tle time for people to take shelter with
or without their pets.

Dad jailed for child cruelty
A Daly City father accused of pushing his 5-year-old stepson
into a television rack because he would not take a nap faces up to
a year in jail after pleading no contest to child cruelty.
Michael Demata Miguel, 30, will be sentenced Nov. 2.
Authorities looked at Miguel after his wife brought the boy to
Seton Medical Center April 26, 2010 with abdomen pain and
vomiting blood. Doctors diagnosed him with pancreatitis, an ear
abrasion and several bruises on the right side of his body. The
mother reportedly said the child was clumsy and often fell.
A police and Child Protective Services investigation conclud-
ed Miguel grew frustrated with the boy because he wouldnt nap
and kept hitting his sisters, according to prosecutors.
Miguel allegedly struck the boy in his stomach and chest area,
causing him to fall backward onto the television rack.
Miguel remains free from custody on a $50,000 bail bond
pending sentencing.
Charges dismissed against alleged art thief
San Mateo County prosecutors dismissed several charges
against a man accused of burglarizing a deceased Hillsborough
womans home, leaving him to begin trial yesterday on a fraction
of the original allegations.
The San Mateo County District Attorneys
Ofce cited insufcient evidence to try
Robert John Alarid, 42, on the entire case.
Alarids co-defendant, Beverly Betty
Wilkerson-Adabashi, 42, took a deal at a pre-
trial conference, pleading no contest to
felony counts of burglary and identity theft in
return for three years prison.
The two are accused of stealing from at
least two Hillsborough homes and, at arrest,
allegedly had in their possession stolen items
from 173 separate victims from California, Arizona and Florida.
The Hillsborough case stemmed from the burglary of Lee
Simpson Kavanaughs Ascot Road home during her memorial
service. Kavanaugh died Aug. 9, 2010 at age 70. On Aug. 18,
2010, during Kavanaughs memorial elsewhere, prosecutors say
Wilkerson-Aldabashi and Alarid ransacked the home. Among the
items taken were an douard Leon Corts painting of a Paris
street scene insured for $100,000, jewelry, antique clocks, china
dinnerware and a 2003 Toyota Camry. The car was later sold in
San Jose using a stolen drivers license which led authorities to
the suspects.
Alarid remains in custody lieu of $150,000 bail.
Man arrested for photographing neighbor
Belmont police arrested a man Monday morning for allegedly
secretly photographing a female neighbor through her bathroom
window.
Evan Chieda, 36, of Belmont, was arrested
without incident on a misdemeanor charge of
secretly taking pictures of a person who is
partially undressed or naked, according to
police.
Police responded to the 1900 block of
Arbor Avenue after a woman called claiming
she saw a man taking pictures of her through
an open bathroom window with a camera
phone.
A man wearing a black T-shirt ed the area
as soon as he was noticed, according to police.
Ofcers then went door to door in the area when they contact-
ed Chieda, who was arrested shortly after.

SAN FRANCISCO A lengthy fed-
eral trial targeting the San Francisco
branch of a multinational gang known
for violence and drug dealing ended
Tuesday with the convictions of six
members on murder, racketeering and
other charges.
Prosecutors argued that the seven
defendants were part of the MS-13 gang
that terrorized the Mission District with
turf wars that killed rivals and
bystanders. They were convicted of
extorting money from drug dealers,
makers of phony citizenship documents
and others.
Jurors convicted Angel Noel Guevara,
Moris Flores, Marvin Carcamo,
Jonathan Cruz-Ramirez, Guillermo
Herrera and Erick Lopez.
Lopez, Cruz-Ramirez and Herrera
also were convicted separately of mur-
ders in 2008. The jurors also agreed that
many of the crimes were committed to
gain entrance, maintain position or move
up in the gang.
One defendant, Walter Cruz-Zavala,
was acquitted of all charges.
MS-13, or Mara Salvatrucha, originat-
ed in El Salvador.
The men were indicted in 2008 with
16 others who have pleaded guilty to a
wide-range of illegal gang activity.
Two men were sentenced to 20 years
each for the stabbing death of a 14-year-
old in July 2008. Two other men have
been charged with murder in a 2009
slaying outside a Daly City subway sta-
tion.
Six more gangmembers have pleaded
guilty and testied for the government in
exchange for sentence reductions. They
are to be sentenced later.
The six men convicted Tuesday could
face life in prison when sentenced on
Nov. 30.

WASHINGTON A political battle
between the tea party-driven House and the
Democratic-controlled Senate is threatening to
slow money to the governments main disaster
aid account, which is so low that new rebuild-
ing projects have been put on hold to help vic-
tims of Hurricane Irene and future disasters.
The Federal Emergency Management
Agency has less than $800 million in its disas-
ter coffers. A debate over whether to cut
spending elsewhere in the federal budget to
pay for tornado and hurricane aid seems likely
to delay legislation to provide the billions of
dollars needed to replenish FEMAs disaster
aid in the upcoming budget year.
House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va.,
said the House will require offsetting spending
cuts. Irene caused significant damage in
Virginia, and Cantors own district sustained
damage from last weeks earthquake.
Key Senate Democrats said theyll oppose
the idea of offsetting cuts when a bill funding
FEMA gets under way in the Senate.
Of $130 billion provided in FEMA disaster
funds over the past two decades, some $110
billion has been provided as emergency fund-
ing in addition to the annual budget.
Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., the Senates No. 2
Democrat, said Tuesday the number and cost
of disasters have grown dramatically over the
past few years and that its unrealistic to
require offsetting spending cuts. Durbin
presided over a recent hearing on disaster
costs.
If (Cantor) believes that we can nip and
tuck at the rest of the federal budget and some-
how take care of disasters, hes totally out of
touch with reality, Durbin said.
Sen. Mary Landrieu, a Democrat from
Louisiana her state is still rebuilding six
years after Hurricane Katrina said that she
will take advantage of a little-noticed provi-
sion in the recently passed debt limit and
budget deal that permits Congress to pass sev-
eral billion dollars in additional FEMA disas-
ter aid without budget cuts elsewhere. The
provision in the new law would allow at least
$6 billion in disaster aid to be added to the
budget for the scal year starting Oct. 1.
Landrieu chairs the Appropriations home-
land security panel responsible for FEMAs
budget, and shes pushing back hard against a
GOP demand that boosts in disaster relief be
paid for with cuts elsewhere in the budget.
The House FEMA funding measure, passed
in early June, provides $1 billion in immediate
disaster funding paid for by cuts to a loan pro-
gram backed by the Obama administration to
encourage the production of fuel-efficient
vehicles and taps into Obama priorities like
rst responder grants to add $850 million to
the administrations $1.8 billion disaster aid
request for 2012.
We should address emergency aid in the
way we traditionally have in the past with-
out political strings attached, Landrieu said.
Her version of the legislation will provide a
signicant increase in disaster aid funding
without offsetting spending cuts as permitted
under the just-passed budget deal, she said.
Landrieu isnt getting a lot of help from the
White House. Its February request for disaster
funding next year is insufcient to fund pend-
ing demands from past disasters like hurri-
canes Katrina, Rita and Gustav and the mas-
sive Tennessee oods of last spring and it
threatens to slow rebuilding efforts in Joplin,
Mo., and the Alabama towns devastated by
tornadoes last spring.

NEWFANE, Vt. National Guard heli-
copters rushed food and water Tuesday to a
dozen cut-off Vermont towns after the rainy
remnants of Hurricane Irene washed out
roads and bridges in a deluge that took many
people in the landlocked New England state
by surprise.
As soon as we can get help, we need
help, Liam McKinley said by cellphone
from a mountain above flood-stricken
Rochester, Vt.
Up to 11 inches of rain from the weekend
storm turned placid streams into churning,
brown torrents that knocked homes off their
foundations, attened trees and took giant
bites out of the asphalt across the country-
side. At least three people died in Vermont.
I think that people are still a little shell-
shocked right now. Theres just a lot of dis-
belief on peoples faces. It came through so
quickly, and theres so much damage, Gail
Devine, director of the Woodstock
Recreation Center, said as volunteers moved
furniture out of the ooded basement and
shoveled out thick mud that lled the centers
two swimming pools.
As crews raced to repair the roads, the
National Guard began ying in supplies to
the towns of Cavendish, Granville, Hancock,
Killington-Mendon, Marlboro, Pittsfield,
Plymouth, Rochester, Stockbridge,
Strafford, Stratton and Wardsboro. The
Guard also used heavy-duty vehicles to
bring relief to ood-stricken communities
still reachable by road.

LAS VEGAS The United States cant
lead the world in the 21st century with its cur-
rent energy policy, Vice President Joe Biden
told alternative technology supporters
Tuesday at a clean energy summit in Las
Vegas.
Biden said the nation is already trailing
China and Germany in green technology. It
will trade its dependence on foreign oil for a
dependence on foreign clean energy technolo-
gy if its leaders dont act to help edging
green researchers and businesses, he said.
If we shrink from deciding whether we are
going to lead in the area of alternative energy,
renewable energy, then we will be making the
biggest mistake that this nation has made in
its history, Biden said during his keynote
speech at the fourth-annual National Clean
Energy Summit at the Aria hotel-casino.
Biden said the future will demand cities that
produce all the energy they consume; battery-
powered cars able to travel great distances and
bacteria that converts sunlight directly into
fuel, among other innovations.
Innovation and energy will go on whether
or not we join and no nation which expects to
be a leader of other nations can fall behind,
he said.
Biden announced during his speech that ve
technology companies receiving up to $6 mil-
lion each from the Department of Energy have
since attracted more than $100 million in pri-
vate investments. The rms in North Carolina,
California and Colorado are developing
advanced grid scale batteries or new
approaches to biofuels or waste heat recovery.
Biden said the private investments demon-
strate that the green industry needs both pub-
lic and private contributions to succeed.
No previous generation has had that debate
about whether or not we are going to lead the
world because in the past it simply hasnt
been a question, he said. This isnt science
ction. This is within our grasp.
National politicians and green technology
leaders are attending the Las Vegas energy
conference to discuss energy security and
independence. U.S. Secretary of Energy
Steven Chu, Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval and
California Gov. Jerry Brown are among the
notable speakers.

WASHINGTON President Barack
Obama says his administration is considering
seven new government regulations that would
cost the economy more than $1 billion each a
year, a tally Republicans will pounce on to
argue that Congress needs the power to
approve costly government rules.
In a letter to House Speaker John Boehner,
R-Ohio, Obama lists four proposed
Environmental Protection Agency rules and
three Transportation Department rules esti-
mated to cost in excess of $1 billion. One of
the proposed EPA rules an update to the
health-based standard for smog is estimat-
ed to cost the economy between $19 billion
and $90 billion.
The letter, dated Tuesday, comes as the
Republican-controlled House prepares to con-
sider legislation that would require congres-
sional approval for any new
regulations that would
impose a signicant cost on
industries.
The four environmental
regulations, which target
air pollution and coal
residue primarily from
coal-fired power plants,
already have been attacked
by House Republicans,
who have said they would kill jobs and harm
the economy.
A federal court ordered the Obama adminis-
tration to propose two of the four environmen-
tal rules.
And while the regulations would be expen-
sive to comply with, EPA ofcials say they
will save billions of dollars in avoided health
care costs each year by reducing asthma and
other illnesses, such as cancer. In some cases,
the cost savings are greater than the upfront
expense, according to EPA gures.

Theater of
the absurd
A
t what point does a series of protests
become so absurd its almost a paro-
dy? When it comes to the recent
BART protests, it hit well
past that point Monday.
BART riders are fed up.
Cops are fed up. Regular
folks are fed up. And even
protesters seem bored, and
kind of just strange. The
absurdity hit a low point
when someone released per-
sonal photos of BART
spokesman Linton Johnson
without his, lets just say,
normal dapper attire. There were some sugges-
tions that Johnson supporters were offended and
were planning a counter protest. And a Facebook
group called Commuters Take Back BART
said it was planning a counter protest as well.
Though the reports of counter protesters never
materialized, it seemed as if it is just a matter of
time before some Stephen Colbert disciples were
set to take to the scene with placards denouncing
protests Down with black bandannas! or
No BART, no way home! or chanting, Hey,
Hey, Ho, Ho, this protesting has got to go!
The whole series of events is so convoluted that
the actual reason for the original protest has been
lost. For the record, the protests began when 45-
year-old Charles Hill was shot dead July 3 after
allegedly threatening ofcers with a knife and a
broken bottle. Then it was the Aug. 15 decision to
shut off cellphone service to squelch the ability of
potential protesters to communicate with each
other. It is clear BART police maybe need some
help with learning to use Tasers. And the idea to
cut off cellphone service was creative, but maybe
created more harm than good. You probably
wont see that happening again.
In this theater of the absurd, everyone seems to
be learning a bit. Protesters were instructed to
hand out iers rather than enter paid areas and
disrupt service. And San Francisco police kept
the protesters off Market Street and on the side-
walk.
Now you have this series of protests that
seems more akin to a gathering of goofy face
masks than an exercise in free speech. Its obvi-
ously a headache for BART and police who must
work overtime to deal with the disruptions. And
its a headache for commuters who chose to
eschew the devil wagon of four-wheeled transit
for enviro-friendly mass transit. If this continues,
how many riders with the option of taking their
cars to work and home will make that choice?
Quite a few. So the end result just might be over-
time for BART workers (including police) and
more cars on the road. And who wants that?

Last weeks announcement that the San Mateo
County Times would cease to exist in November
shouldnt be that surprising. But its kind of like
an old light bulb. You know its going to burn
out, but it always seems to catch you by surprise
when it does.
Ive been asked by quite a few people how I
feel about it. Since its a competing newspaper, I
should be happy right?
Well yes, and no.
The Daily Journal will likely pick up more
readers, but thats been an ongoing trend in
recent years. Were not perfect, but the number
of people who appreciate the work we put in
day in and day out seems to be growing. We
work hard and try our best to be fair, responsive
and responsible. That matters to people.
Like many mid-sized newspapers, particularly
those bought out by larger companies, the
County Times was suffering a death of a thou-
sand cuts for years. Its hard to stay vibrant
under those conditions.
However, the decision to fold what is left of it
into the San Jose Mercury News doesnt make a
lot of sense. As a resident of San Mateo, I dont
care that much about what happens in San Jose
or its various communities. I read the County
Times for its local coverage and over the years
actually appreciated the work of quite a few of
its reporters Erin Sherbert, Martha McPartlin,
Justin Jouvenal, Tim Simmers, Malaika Fraley
and Mike Rosenberg in particular. Their current
batch of reporters are hard-working and will
continue to cover what they can up here as a
bureau for the Mercury News while the opportu-
nity exists. But those days may be numbered as
well. I know the County Times had seen better
days, but it was a mainstay of the Peninsula and a
valued community resource. Its demise is sad.

Redwood Citys Saltworks
project: Infill or fill-in?
Editor,
A recent newspaper article stated that DMB,
developer of the Redwood City Saltworks
project, spent $100,000 to lobby the Bay
Conservation and Development Commission
to leave the denition of inll intentionally
vague in BCDCs proposal to consider sea
level change in the approval process for
Bayshore developments.
This was so DMB could claim their project
as inll and avoid BCDC scrutiny.
Unfortunately, the Saltworks project is not
inll as commonly dened. It is in essence,
a new town with a population of 30,000 resi-
dents and ofce space for 10,000 workers that
is all housed below sea level, physically sepa-
rated from the rest of Redwood City and cre-
ated by lling in salt ponds that have been tar-
geted for restoration to wetlands. The site has
no signicant utility infrastructure, no signi-
cant potable water, no existing roads, no exist-
ing ood control and will require long and
expensive extensions of existing utilities from
other parts of the city.
This project is, in reality, a ll-in project:
a massive attempt to ll in 800 plus acres of
former Bay marshland and remove all possi-
bility of wetlands restoration. It is the wrong
project in the wrong place and should be
rejected.

Evidence?
Editor,
Reading Patricia Grays letter, What hap-
pened on 9/11? in the Aug. 27 edition of the
Daily Journal, I could not determine if she is
kidding or serious. If her intentions were to be
humorous, her joke leaves a lot to be desired.
On the other hand, if Ms. Gray was trying to
publicize a conspiracy tale, may I suggest that
she beefs it up with some factual data to sub-
stantiate the myth so it will be believable:
such as why the 19 Muslims hijacked the air-
planes and deliberately ew them into the
World Trade Center towers and the Pentagon.
Or how come the rst attempt to blow up the
towers in 1993 was also done by Islamist
extremists?

Wrong priorities
Editor,
It is interesting how the San Mateo County
Community College District embraces its rela-
tionship with the community as a rationale
for building and operating a luxurious health
club, yet has trouble understanding public
complaints. Recently, Hillsborough residents
have had to resort to legal threats to cause the
College of San Mateo to stop slashing down a
green barrier which screened the view of the
campus from residents who didnt want to see
it.
Now, the Board of Trustees seems to be
very comfortable ignoring the supporters of
horticulture and the long-standing horticulture
program, greenhouses and gardens at CSM, in
favor of paving the area for a parking lot for
faculty. In spite of a number of exceptional
voices in favor of delaying action to destroy
the greenhouses and paving over the vernacu-
lar landscape, such as the very well-known
and respected director of horticulture at Filoli,
Lucy Tolmach, the trustees blithely go full tilt
at their plans to spend the peoples money on
things with little or no educational value, such
as pavement.
The horticulture program at CSU may not
be as glamorous as the football program, but
Id be willing to wager that it has produced
more local gardeners and landscapers than the
football program ever has or ever will profes-
sional football players. Horticulture also has
not gobbled up huge sums of money, but has
graduated many productive citizens and ger-
minated many San Mateo businesses.
In the spirit of keeping t, would it be so
much trouble for the science teaching staff to
walk a few more feet to their classes, and
allow the horticulture program to continue?
The district seems to have adopted an intransi-
gent attitude which is surprising in the face of
a new multi-million dollar bond measure it
has put on the November ballot.

businesses generate revenue for the city. And
as much as I wish I could, I cant make people
spend their money in a less self-absorbed way.
What is disturbing is the fact that these
providers of self-improvement never seem
to go out of business. They multiply. I know
theres a lot of money in this area. But really?
Forty-three spas and salons? What does that
say about our values, our priorities? What are
we teaching our kids? We live in such a self-
centered society. There needs to be some bal-
ance. Unfortunately, its a tough sell. So,
entrepreneurs, skip the frustration of doing
business in San Carlos (a town that scrutinizes
massage establishments, what a concept).
Come to Burlingame where you are all but
guaranteed success in a city of me, myself
and I.

Transportation Authority
wrong on Highway 1
Editor,
For years, we have paid extra sales taxes in
San Mateo County to fund transportation. The
San Mateo County Transportation Authority
has funded some good projects, but it is off
base now in its determination to widen part of
Highway 1 in Pacica to six lanes.
The Transportation Authority held a public
hearing about the widening of Highway 1
where a packed room of citizens had their say.
Nobody spoke in support of the widening,
which would cost over $50 million and con-
demn road-side businesses, homes and
wildlife habitat for the convenience of com-
muters. The environmental impact report
warns that without the widening, commutes
would lengthen by 84 seconds. Someday,
admits the Transportation Authority, even six
lanes will not be enough and the environmen-
tal impact reporters will be back for more.
During years of construction, noise and traf-
c delays would make life miserable for both
neighbors and commuters. The transportation
authority will not install temporary sound bar-
riers due to cost. Hopefully neighbors in the
600+ homes near the project can adjust to the
sound of pile drivers. No wonder the widening
is so controversial.
In the meantime, other priorities, including
safety projects, more frequent buses, bus shel-
ters, benches at bus stops, vans to BART and
carpooling get little attention. Bus riders wait
as long as an hour for the bus. Why is the time
of motorists considered more valuable?
The Transportation Authority stubbornly
refuses to try any of the alternatives suggested
by the public, each of which would be less
costly, offer a faster remedy without environ-
mental harm, and not involve the conscating
of private property.
Perhaps its time the civil grand jury look
into the Transportation Authority.

NEW YORK The mere discussion
of more economic stimulus from the
Federal Reserve was enough to send
stocks higher Tuesday. The Dow Jones
industrial average rose 20 points, its third
day of gains.
Minutes from the Feds latest policy
meeting on Aug. 9 showed that central
bank ofcials discussed a variety of
options to bolster the economy, including
buying more Treasury bonds. In the end,
they decided to keep interest rates low
until at least mid-2013.
The news that more aggressive action
was being considered gave investors a
reason to buy stocks. They want to see
stimulus and they hope stocks will go
higher, said Joseph Saluzzi, co-head of
stock trading at Themis Trading.
The Federal Reserve has purchased
Treasury bonds twice in the past as a way
to keep long-term interest rates low. The
Feds rst bond-buying program was in
2008, at the height of the nancial crisis.
The second, announced last August,
helped to push the Dow up 28 percent
through April 29. Lower interest rates on
bonds give investors an incentive to move
money out of bonds and into stocks and
other assets.
Stocks were mixed for much of the day
Tuesday after an index of consumer con-
dence plunged in August to the lowest
level since April 2009. Trading volume
was also lighter than normal because
many investors are on vacation.
The Dow Jones industrial average rose
20.70 points, or 0.2 percent, to close at
11,559.95 Tuesday. The Dow was down
as many as 109 points ve minutes after
the consumer condence report came
out at 10 a.m. It traded mixed for most of
the day and turned higher in the last hour
of trading. The Dow has risen for three
days straight, and six out of the last
seven.
Boeing Co. rose 2.2 percent, the most
of the 30 companies in the Dow, after the
aircraft maker said it received approval
from its board to build a version of its
workhorse 737 jet with a redesigned
engine. That should help it compete bet-
ter with rival Airbus.
The Standard & Poors 500 rose 2.84
points, or 0.2 percent, to 1,212.92. The
Nasdaq composite index rose 14, or 0.6
percent, to 2,576.11.
Companies that rely most heavily on
consumer spending had some of the
biggest losses. Retailers Kohls Corp.
and Lowes Cos. each fell 2.2 percent.
Best Buy Co. Inc. fell 0.8 percent.
The sharp fall in the measure of how
U.S. consumers feel about the economy
could mean weaker sales for retailers and
makers of consumer goods like clothes
and shoes. Retailers are in the midst of
the critical back-to-school shopping sea-
son, which can account for as much as 25
percent of their annual revenue.

WASHINGTON Economists have
advice for anyone worried that con-
sumers are too fearful to keep spending:
Look at what theyre doing, not what
theyre saying.
A survey of consumer confidence
shows that Americans were spooked
early this month by the standoff over the
debt ceiling, a downgrade of U.S. long-
term debt and a swoon in stock prices.
But maybe only temporarily.
If stock prices stay steady, consumers
will likely keep spending, and the econ-
omy should improve modestly in the
months ahead, economists say. Most
downplayed the results of a Conference
Board survey released Tuesday that
showed consumers were in a gloomy
mood in early August.
They tend to register their anxiety
about the future in these surveys ... with-
out actually curtailing their spending,
said Chris Rupkey, chief nancial econ-
omist at Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ.
The board said its consumer con-
dence index sank to 44.5 in August, a
15-point drop from July. That was a
much sharper fall than expected. And it
brought the index to its lowest point
since April 2009. A reading above 90
would show the economy was on solid
footing.
The report coincided with similarly
glum results from a survey of business
and consumer sentiment in Europe. In
that poll, European retailers were pes-
simistic about the future, and consumers
were fearful of losing their jobs. A major
factor was Europes debt crisis.
For August, economists dont expect
Americans to cut their spending sharply,
if at all. Most foresee consumer spend-
ing, which drives about 70 percent of the
economy, rising faster in the July-
September period than in the preceding
three months.
Ken Perkins of Retail Metrics Inc., a
research rm, noted that the mood of
consumers has been downbeat all year.
Yet sales at retail chains have remained
relatively healthy.
Theres been a little bit of a discon-
nect, Perkins said. Consumers say one
thing and do another.
Consider Otis Herring of Brooklyn,
N.Y. Herring has cut back on eating out
and buying comfort food. But a couple
of days ago, he spent about $80 shop-
ping at an outlet mall in Massachusetts.
You splurge a little bit here and
there, said Herring, 26, a dancer in
Brooklyn. People havent stopped
shopping. Theyve gured out what they
can and cant do and adjusted according-
ly.
Consumers gloomy but theyre spending

LOS ANGELES Activist investor
Carl Icahn said Tuesday that he is shed-
ding his entire stake in Lions Gate
Entertainment Corp., ending a more than
two-year battle for control and sending
shares of the niche movie studio tum-
bling in after-hours trading.
The sale, announced after the market
closed, included an agreement for both
sides to drop all pending lawsuits against
each other.
Lions Gate and its next largest
investor, Mark Rachesky, each agreed to
buy back a quarter of Icahns shares for
$7 each, which is about what Icahn spent
acquiring his one-third stake in the com-
pany.
Lions Gate said that it has the right to
designate one or more parties to pur-
chase Icahns remaining stake, also at $7
a share, over the next 35 days.
The studios shares fell 5 percent, or
37 cents, to $7.15 in aftermarket trading.
Icahn wished the company well in a
statement.
As some have noted, my own slate
is pretty full at the time, and I therefore
determined that it is a good time to exit,
he said.
Icahn is also the largest shareholder in
Clorox and is seeking election to the
board of that company. He said Tuesday
that he would vote to sell Clorox if
appointed or he would buy it himself.
Lions Gate CEO Jon Feltheimer said
Icahns departure was in the best inter-
ests of Lions Gate shareholders and
noted that because the company is buy-
ing back some of Icahns shares, the
number of shares outstanding will be
reduced and share value should increase.

SAN FRANCISCO A federal judge
in San Francisco has approved a $1.5
million settlement for more than 1,200
employees of pest-control company
Terminix who said they were wrongful-
ly denied overtime.
The employees claimed in a May 2008
lawsuit that they worked long hours
without overtime, rest breaks and meal
periods while out on termite inspection
calls. They were training to be termite
inspectors.
Terminix argued that termite inspec-
tions were sales activities, so they were
not subject to state overtime regulations.
The inspections are often free.
Terminix makes money if the potential
customer agrees to buy follow-up servic-
es or products.
U.S. District Judge Susan Illston
rejected the companys argument in
June.

WASHINGTON Limited in his
ability to create jobs through direct
spending, President Barack Obama is
considering measures to encourage the
private sector to free up its cash reserves
and hire more workers to ease the
nations unemployment crush.
As Obama prepares to unveil a new
jobs agenda next week, his aides are
reviewing options that would provide tax
incentives to employers who expand
their payrolls. That approach is a more
indirect effort to spur the economy and
relies less on government intervention
and massive public works projects.
Among the proposals circulating in
the White House is a $33 billion tax
credit that Obama rst proposed early
last year but that Congress whittled into
a smaller one-year package.
Under one version of the plan,
employers would receive a tax credit of
up to $5,000, subtracted from their share
of federal payroll taxes, for every net
new hire. White House ofcials caution
that the overall jobs plan is still subject
to change.
The tax credit, however, is a relatively
untested idea. Congress passed a version
in March 2010, known as the HIRE Act,
which provided $13 billion in tax credits
to qualied employers who hired new
workers. But there is no government
data to track its success.
The HIRE Act was very small, said
Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moodys
Analytics and an occasional adviser to
Democrats and Republicans. It really
didnt add to payrolls.
It would have to be bigger, he added.
Something more along the lines that the
Obama administration proposed in
2010.
While promising a major jobs pack-
age, Obama is hamstrung by budget cuts
and a tight debt ceiling that he had a
hand in negotiating.
As a result, economists predict that
while the presidents initiatives could
eliminate some drag on the economy and
maintain the status quo, they wont be
enough to propel it to new heights
Obamas jobs package is designed to
supplement other proposals already in
the pipeline, including free trade agree-
ments with South Korea, Colombia and
Panama and the renewal of a highway
construction bill.
On Wednesday, Obama will call on
Congress to pass federal highway legis-
lation before the current law expires
Sept. 30. Seeking to blunt congressional
partisanship, Obama will be joined by
the leaders of two occasionally warring
factions AFL-CIO President Richard
Trumka and David Chavern, chief oper-
ating ofcer of the U.S. Chamber of
Commerce.
At a minimum, the presidents jobs
plan will call on Congress to extend cur-
rent payroll tax cuts and jobless benets,
spend money for new construction proj-
ects and offer incentives to businesses to
hire more workers.

CNN gets more personal, buys iPad magazine Zite
SAN FRANCISCO CNN has acquired Zite, an iPad serv-
ice that learns about readers tastes and customizes a digital
magazine with stories from hundreds of different websites.
CNN, a cable news channel owned by Time Warner Inc., has
no plans to change Zites format, said K.C. Estenson, general
manager of CNNs digital division.
This is a product that people love, Estenson said. It just
needs to be in the hands of more people.
Zite delivers different editions to different readers based on
their individual interests. After downloading Zites free iPad
application, readers can specify certain topics they want to read
about, such as stories about the Pittsburgh Steelers or Lady
Gaga. The magazine is programmed to learn more about readers
over time, based on the kinds of stories that they tend to click on.
The same technology may be used to help CNN customize its
news on the iPad and other mobile devices, Estenson said.
Financial terms of the deal announced Tuesday werent dis-
closed.
Zite, which is based in San Francisco, started a specialty
search engine called Worio six years ago. Drawing upon some
of Worios research, Zite unveiled its magazine for the iPad in
March. It had 125,000 downloads in the rst week; the com-
pany would not provide a more recent number.
It has been overshadowed so far by Flipboard, another iPad
magazine that customizes editions by analyzing the links
shared within readers networks on Facebook and Twitter.
Yahoo Inc. also is trying to personalize the news for tablet
computers with a service called Livestand; the company says it
will be ready before the end of the year.
HP vows another TouchPad run before retirement
SAN FRANCISCO Hewlett-Packard says its making
one last run of its TouchPad tablet computer before the device
is ofcially retired again.
The Palo Alto, Calif.-based company cited stunning
demand for the tablet following a big price drop earlier this
month after CEO Leo Apotheker said the company was exiting
the tablet and smartphone business to focus more on selling to
corporations.
The tablet was a dud with consumers at $499 and $599, but
a hit at $99 and $149, depending on the size of memory.
On Monday, HP announced on a corporate blog that it will
produce one last run of TouchPads to meet unfullled
demand, and that it would be at least a few weeks until theyre
available.

James Beekley, in his third season as starting QB, is expecting to throw more this season.
By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
When Sequoia football coach Rob Poulos
took over the program in 2009, the
Cherokees were coming off a 1-9 season.
In 2010, Poulos guided the team to an
undefeated Peninsula Athletic League Lake
Division title and into the Central Coast
Section Division II championship game.
This year, the Cherokees are hoping to take
that last step and win not only the Peninsula
Athletic League Ocean Division title, but the
whole ball of wax.
This might just be the team to do it. Led by
third-year starting quarterback James
Beekley, one of the best two-way players in
the league in senior Josh Lauese, along with
a strong supporting cast, Sequoia has the
tools to make such a run.
But Poulos knows to take it one step at a
time.
We need to be competitive in the Ocean
(Division rst), Poulos said. If were com-
petitive in the Ocean, everything else will
take care of itself.
Sequoia had one of the highest octane
offenses in the PAL last season, averaging
over 35 points per game. That offense was
triggered by Beekley, who has developed
into a Division I-caliber quarterback.
And while Beekley was effective last year
in both the running and passing department,
he has a chance to be even better this season.
I think we have a few more receiver
weapons for him. Hell have a chance to
show his arm a little more this year. Last
year, we were so ground oriented, Poulos
said. This year, hell get a chance to throw
the ball a little more. He throws a really good
ball.
Dalton Diaz, who caught the game-win-
ning pass against Carlmont in overtime to
secure the Cherokees spot in the playoffs,
will pair with Gabe Ortiz, one of the fast
sprinters in the PAL, as Beekleys main
receiving weapons.
But they will be far from alone as Poulos
will rotate a number of players at both
receiver and running back.
[The receivers] all hooked up with James
over the summer and just worked on timing,
Poulos said. Its starting to pay off.
While Lauese will probably start games at
running back, he will have plenty of help to
keep him fresh to play on defense. Dylan

The 2011 version of the South San
Francisco football team will be brought to
you by the letter F as in focus and n-
ish.
A year ago, it was those two things, most-
ly at the end of games (against Menlo and
Jefferson) that turned a potential 4-1 season,
into a 2-3 nish for the Warriors.
I think this is the year we take that step
forward, said head coach Frank Moro. We
took a few bumps last year with some young
guys and we made some mistakes late in
games. With the experience we have, were
going to be in better shape at the end of
games. These guys need to focus and play a
full game. We need to hold onto the lead in
the fourth quarter and play 48 minutes.
Theyre things every coach says, but its true
and I this team can do it.
Moros condence is founded on the expe-
rience factor South City returns 15
starters, eight on offense and seven on a
defense that Moro called the fastest hes
seen in my time here.
A lot of these guys are juniors, Moro
said. But we have a couple of guys with
three years of experience. Were going to
compete. This team will go far as they want
to go as long if they stay focused on what
they need to do. This team can be at the top
of the division.
Leading the charge for the Warriors will
be their defense, which is a staple of any
Moro team. In the past seven seasons, only
one South City team has given up more than
200 points in a year (230 in 2006) last
year their 162 points allowed was the best in
the Peninsula Athletic League Ocean
Division. The 2011 Warriors D should be
even better.
These guys can chase people down,
Moro said.
Theyll be led by returning PAL First-
Team defensive back Robert Johnson, a jun-
ior strong safety who made quite the splash
for the Warriors.
Our team speed defensively is going to be
fun to watch, Moro said, I cant wait.
Aiding Johnson will be players like
Ahmed Deguzman in the defensive back-
eld, Anthony Shkuratov, who will see some
time at linebacker, and Abiel Malapeia on
the defensive line.
As good as the Warriors were defensively

A weight loss question that has to be answered . . .
The Oprah Winfrey
Weight Loss Riddle!
Campbell and San Mateo, are you serious about losing
weight? If you are, you can virtually melt away your fat
from day one. But rst, lets talk about Oprah and her
weight loss riddle. When a person thinks about Oprah, as
a super-star, her TV presence, and her popularity, she is
in a class all by herself.
I have lost 28 pounds in just 37 days. I was
skeptical but I have to tell you, based on my
results, I would recommend this to anyone
whos ever had a problem with getting weight
off and keeping it off.
Rosa C. Foster City, CA
Oprahs Personal
Struggles
Im Dr. Thomas Ferrigno
D.C., a practicing doctor in
Campbell and San Mateo. I
love helping people lose
stubborn weight, and then
show them how to keep it
off, so take the time to read
this short article.
When you think of Oprah, and her struggles with
weight; and her short term successes, she is not in a
class by herself, but in a class with over 130 million or
more overweight Americans who have tried and failed
to lose weight, no matter what they do.
Oprah has a team of highly, well trained and highly
educated healthcare providers at her disposal.
Anytime. Anywhere.
Specialists to the Rescue
Dr. Mehmet Oz, (Dr. Oz as he is known on his TV show),
everyones Marcus Welby, is at her disposal and Oprah
even has her own personal chef. She can eat the best of
the best, and never have to touch a pot or a pan. So whats
my point? If Oprah has all this help, support, and guidance
of extraordinary people and is still unable to keep her
weight OFF, you have to ask yourself, If Oprah cant keep
her weight off, what makes me think I can?
She has all the money, the best of the best people helping
her, and can have anything she wants, anytime she wants,
and still cant lose weight, so how can you lose weight?
How Can You Be Successful
When Oprah Isnt?
Why is it that over the past few years, there have been
hundreds of patients at our ofce who complete the
program and have been successful at long term weight-
loss and maintenance without having Oprahs money?
Do I know something that Oprahs gurus, MD, and close
friends dont know? Why are most people still not able to
gure out the so-called secrets to permanent weight-loss?
Whats The Real Answer Then?
I believe Oprah and millions of overweight people would
do well to see a doctor who treats obesity as a chronic,
metabolic, progressive, and genetic disease on a long
term basis.
The problem with all of this is most overweight people are
unable to nd a simple, easy to follow system to reduce
their fat and then - keep it off. Even their coordination
and attractiveness are destroyed with weight gain. Well all
that will change when you start using this secret,
one-of-a-kind exclusive weight-loss system.
I sought out Crossroads Health Center to lose
weight. I am happy to say that I lost 21.8 pounds
of weight, 3% of my body fat, and increased my
hydration by 3% all in 20 days. Thank you Dr.
Ferrigno

San Mateo resident Ruben Zamora calls it
a match made in heaven.
For three years now, Zamora has taken his
message of fundamentals onto the baseball
diamond as a coach for the PAL Junior Giants
of San Mateo.
Zamora, who works at a bank in San
Mateo, came upon the program after falling a
little behind in signing up his son for Little
League one year the Junior Giants organi-
zation has to be happy he did.
Zamora, along with four other San Mateo
County Junior Giants coaches (from Daly
City, South San Francisco, San Bruno and
Redwood City), were among the 46 selected
by the Giants as recipients of the Junior
Giants Willie Mac Award.
Its an award given by the Giants
Community Fund to recognize coaches for
their positive inuence and dedication to the
Junior Giants program.
The award is named in
honor of Willie McCovey,
the legendary San
Francisco first baseman,
and given to coaches for
exemplifying the Junior
Giants spirit and for dis-
playing the Four Bases of
Character Development:
Confidence, Integrity,
Leadership and
Teamwork.
Zamora was the recipient from San Mateo
and he, along with George Jue (South City),
Sal Santos (Redwood City), Tod Steineld
(San Bruno) and Chris Alcarez (Daly City),
were honored on the eld before last Sundays
home game against Houston as part of Junior
Giants Coaches Recognition Day.
I get to do the easy stuff, Zamora said,
whos coached with various organizations
throughout the county. This year, they asked
me to coach two teams, so I guess thats why
I was nominated (for the award). The kids are
great. For a lot of them, this is their rst expe-
rience with baseball. Its worth it just to see
the smiles on their faces when they hit the
ball.
Tod Steineld has been with the Jr. Giants
for 11 years. He, and fellow coach Deke
Shelton, joined the program together with the
idea that it was a good way of getting into
coaching. Since then, Shelton has won the
same award and Steineld doesnt see himself
leaving anytime soon.
Every year there are new players,
Steineld said. And you get to see them as
they come along through the program. You
dont want to turn your back on them. Its just
a rewarding experience.
Santos found himself with the Junior Giants
after spending his entire life in Redwood City.
Santos played baseball at Sequoia High
School and two years ago, was attracted to the
Junior Giants when searching for a place
where his 8-year-old daughter could play.
Upon arriving, Santos fell in love with the
program.
I like that its for the community, Santos
said. The little kids parents dont have to pay
for it, the Giants supply everything. I was
happy to help out and coach. I grew up play-
ing Little League in Redwood City and some-
times it was hard for some parents to come up
with the money. Every child wants to play and
this is a great organization that makes it
affordable for the kids that want to play the
game.
As part of their recognition, all 46 coaches
from throughout the Bay Area, got the oppor-
tunity to meet McCovey and have their picture
taken with the legend.
It was little overwhelming, Steinfield
said. To be in front of the fans, on the eld
and to meet Willie McCovey was very cool.
He was very welcoming and down-to-earth. It
was a cool thing for him to do.
it was a great experience, Zamora said.
The Giants treated us pretty special. It was
pretty nice to be where everybody is looking
down on you, when usually youre the one
looking down on the eld. Its special they can
do stuff like that for us, but just to see the kids
smile is reward enough me for.

SAN FRANCISCO Alfonso Soriano
drove in two runs and hit one of the longest
homers at AT&T Park, leading the Chicago
Cubs to a 5-2 win over the San Francisco
Giants on Tuesday night.
Geovany Soto added a two-run double and
Darwin Barney also drove in a run for the
Cubs, who won their second straight.
Jeff Keppinger had three hits and drove in
two runs for the Giants, who lost their third in
a row to fall a season-high six games behind
Arizona, which beat Colorado 9-4, in the NL
West.
Matt Garza (7-10) lasted 6 2-3 innings in
his rst appearance against the Giants. He
allowed two runs on nine hits, walking one
and striking out six. Carlos Marmol pitched
the ninth for his 31st save in 39 chances.
Ryan Vogelsong (10-5) lost his third
straight start in his shortest outing since May
3. He gave up three runs on seven hits over
ve innings, walking two and striking out
three.
Sean Marshall recorded his 29th hold on
his 29th birthday and is one shy from
matching Marmols club record in 2008.
The stagnant Giants failed to score more
than three runs for the sixth consecutive con-
test and have scored two or fewer in 24 of
their last 44 games since the All-Star break.
Carlos Beltran, acquired in a trade from the
New York Mets in an attempt to bolster the
offense, was 0 for 4, ending the third, fth and
seventh innings with a pair of runners on each
time.
Sorianos second-inning solo shot traveled
an estimated 445 feet, bouncing onto the con-
course above the left-eld bleachers. Only
Andres Galarraga has hit one further to left
eld, an estimated 475 feet on Sept. 18, 2001
off Roy Oswalt.
Barney and Soriano each drove in runs in
the third to make it a 3-0 Cubs lead.
After Keppinger doubled home a run in the
fth to pull the Giants to 3-1, the Cubs added
two more on Sotos ground rule double with
the bases loaded. Only fan interference pre-
vented the Cubs from tacking on another run.
Keppingers double was the Giants ninth
extra-base hit in the rst eight games of the
homestand. He added an RBI single in the
seventh.
The Giants are 10-21 since leading the
Diamondbacks by four games in the division
after play on July 28.

Always take what
you read with a
grain of salt! It
amazes me that so
many articles I see
being published in
various magazines,
tabloids, journals, etc. are implied to be
factual and researched but in reality end
up being riddled with partial truths,
inaccuracies and falsehoods! I always like
information that is backed up by provable
facts, but am leery of articles that are hastily
written and not checked out. Many people
assume that all their reading material has
been pre-verified by an editor. Accepting
these erroneous types of writings as the
gospel truth causes confusion among the
public and can be potentially harmful!
One serious example is the daily flooding
of email stories that are passed from reader
to reader (weve all received them) and
taken by many recipients as factual writings.
The majority of these emails, such as
perceived parents searching for their missing
child; hearsay about the Presidents status as
an American citizen; rumors on the latest
medical scare or remedy; handy household
uses for cola; Bill Gates sharing his fortune
with you if you forward that email to 10
friends; in addition to countless other stories
are all found to be internet myths or hoaxes.
TIP: You can easily check out the validity
of every email story you receive by going to
www.snopes.com and typing in the subject
of any questionable email in the search box.
In another example, I was recently given
an article to review from Readers Digest
called 13 Things the Funeral Director
Wont Tell You as part of their series
featuring different professions. Being an
actual Funeral Director, and knowing the
facts, I couldnt believe the inexplicable info
I was reading in a supposedly reputable
magazine such as Readers Digest. It was
obvious to me that the author of the article
and the editor of the magazine not only
didnt check their alleged facts, but some of
the items listed were misleading, incomplete
assertions or just plain folklore! Anyone
reading this would just assume that all was
checked out in advance with experts and
professionals before being printedbut in
this case it was a listing of partial truths or
unexplained hearsay. Since this article
appeared (in the June/July 2011 issue) the
National Funeral Directors Association
among other groups have chastised
Readers Digest for their inept reporting.
This circumstance makes it difficult for me
to fully have faith in Readers Digest and
reminds me that fallacies that can show up
in otherwise trusted publications.
Another situation similar to the above
appeared a while back in AARP magazine.
I always viewed this publication as having a
stellar reputation until I read an article about
funeral rip-offs that was also filled with
inaccurate statements. In that case AARP
was not checking their facts either.
The point is that some authors may have
part of their facts correct or incorrectbut
until you verify your reading material with a
professional you should take what you read
with some good humor and a grain of salt.
If you ever wish to discuss cremation,
funeral matters or want to make pre-
planning arrangements please feel free to
call me and my staff at the CHAPEL OF

NOKESVILLE, Va. Austin
Trenums bed remains half-made,
the way a typical teenager would
leave it. On a shelf is his scarred
black helmet, the one he was wear-
ing when he tackled the quarterback
near the sidelines during Brentsville
Highs game against Handley some
11 months ago.
Austins mouth-
piece remains
tucked neatly in
the face mask,
ready to be
taken out for the
next play.
For Austin,
there was no
next play.
Downstairs in
the Trenum home, in the living
room to the left of the television, is
a memorial in photographs to the
17-year-old college-bound senior
who wore No. 43 in football, No. 14
in lacrosse, all sorts of crazy hats
when he felt like it, a fro-hawk of
curly hair, and a pair of womens
sunglasses on a lark one day while
riding back from the beach.
Austins nal play left him with a
concussion. Two days later, with the
rest of the family downstairs in the
house, he went up to his room and
hanged himself.
To the grieving parents, there is
no doubt that one caused the other.
Shortly after his death, Gil and
Michelle Trenum made the difcult
decision to donate Austins brain for
research. Seated around their dining
table, they told their sons story,
hoping his death can leave a legacy
for others of lessons learned that
concussions still arent taken as
seriously as they should be; that ath-
letes, parents, coaches, trainers and
even emergency room workers are
often ill-informed as to how to treat
them; that more of a culture change
is needed in a sport in which blows
to the head are considered badges of
honor.
I grew up in a football culture,
Michelle Trenum said. Im from
Texas, and my father went to col-
lege on a football scholarship, and
we have three boys that were all
playing football. We referred to
getting your bell rung, getting the
snot knocked out of you, those
types of things. I never realized they
were traumatic brain injuries. I
thought as long as you were getting
up, you were OK.
If our son did not have a concus-
sion, he would be here right now,
she added, fighting back tears.
Actually, he wouldnt be here, he
would be in a dorm room.
Concussion awareness in sports is
on the rise. The NFL has done an
about-face in recent seasons, insti-
tuting return-to-play rules and other
strict guidelines after years of being
accused of not taking the issue seri-
ously. Hearings have been held on
Capitol Hill. Only four months
before Austins death, the football
world was stunned by the suicide of
University of Pennsylvania co-cap-
tain Owen Thomas, who was found
to have a brain disease that could
have been caused by repeated head
blows to the head.
But the full trove of medical
knowledge has yet to lter down to
the high school level, and it wasnt
there on the night Austin was
injured. His parents took their grog-
gy son to the emergency room
Friday night is already one of the
worst times to go to the hospital
and were told to watch for bleeding
symptoms and to make sure their
son had 24 hours of restful activity.
So he watched game lm the next
day. He went shing with a friend in
the afternoon. He went to a concert
with his girlfriend that evening. He
texted. He played video games. On
Sunday, he was doing homework.
He planned to go to his girlfriends
house later to watch the Redskins
game. All of which seemed suitably
restful.
But he also missed a routine turn
while driving a car near the home.
He couldnt remember something
obvious while talking to his friend
while shing. He woke up early
Sunday and went downstairs to play
video games, something totally out
of character for him. He had also
mentioned that he had been getting
a football headache after every
game, something he hadnt told his
parents before. They did know that
Austin, who played linebacker and
fullback, had at least one concus-
sion the previous season, and proba-
bly two others that t symptoms he
had described.
For seemingly no reason at all,
Austin went upstairs Sunday after-
noon and never returned. Afterward,
it wasnt hard to connect the dots.
He had no history of depression.
Nor does his family. He was well
liked at school. He was in the top 6
percent of his class and a shoo-in for
James Madison University. He was
making plans. All the soul-search-
ing for answers led to only one.
It was literally out of the blue,
Michelle Trenum said. There was
nothing in his life, in his character,
in his emotions that would have ever
we know it was a concussion.
The Trenums received a call from
Boston Universitys Center for the
Study of Traumatic
Encephalopathy, where there is a
bank of about 70 brains that have
been donated for study, many from
athletes and military veterans. It
offered a chance for some answers.
It was somebody who thought
we had a valid point, Michelle
Trenum said. I worried about my
baby. It was very hard. He was an
organ donor as well, and that was
hard. But I thought I really want to
know.
The CSTE found that Austin had
a multifocal axonal injury struc-
tural damage to the brain. Among
the areas affected was the portion of
the brain that affects judgment and
impulse control. The doctors cant
say for sure why Austin killed him-
self, but there is strong circumstan-
tial evidence.
Teens suicide puts spotlight on concussions

traumatic brain injuries. I thought as long as you were getting up, you were OK.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SANTA CLARA Frank Gore has his
new deal from the San Francisco 49ers, 13
days before the season opener. Just as he
wished it.
Agent Jason Rosenhaus
told the Associated Press
on Tuesday that Gore had
agreed to terms on a new
three-year contract exten-
sion that keeps him with
the team through 2014.
Gore is set to make $21
million, with $13.5 mil-
lion in guaranteed money.
The team hadnt made a
formal announcement. That likely will come
Wednesday ahead of the Niners exhibition
nale Thursday night at San Diego.
Gore said earlier Tuesday that his primary
agent, Drew Rosenhaus, had a productive, all-
day meeting with team brass Monday. Gore
said he instructed Rosenhaus to contact him
when there was what he considered a fair
offer on the table.
Positive that they met face to face, Gore
said. Drew felt good about everything,
(about) the talk.
The 28-year-old Gore, third on San
Franciscos career rushing list heading into his
seventh NFL season, had repeatedly said he
wanted a new long-term deal before the Sept.
11 season opener against Seattle.
Both sides had been throwing around plen-
ty of praise for the other party. 49ers team
President Jed York and general manager Trent
Baalke said they wanted Gore to be a 49er
for life.
Gore said he even spoke to Baalke about
working for the organization when hes done
playing.
I told Drew, man, just call me when he
feels right, when he feels whats fair for both
sides, Gore said. Hopefully I can be a Niner.
I want to be here for my whole career. Our
GM said he wanted me here for my whole
career. Hopefully my side, their side can get it
done.
They did.
New coach Jim Harbaugh wouldnt address
Gores unsettled contract situation during his
afternoon media availability.
Frank is a true 49er. Ive said that from
when I rst got here, Harbaugh said. Thats
how I thought I would feel about Frank Gore.
Now, I know how I feel about Frank Gore.
The guy is awesome. Somebody should do a
movie. Somebody should do the Frank Gore
story, because its an awesome story.
Gore didnt play in last Saturdays 30-7 loss
to the Houston Texans, and Harbaugh would-
nt say whether he would play in Thursday
nights exhibition nale at San Diego. Its
nothing new for him to sit, as Gore has rarely
played during the preseason in the past.
Gore, who missed the nal ve games last
season with a broken right hip, held out for the
rst four days of training camp, but has been
his energetic, focused self on the eld ever
since.
There have been no signs of his 2010 injury,
either. Gore hurt the hip in a Monday night
game at Arizona on Nov. 29.
I havent noticed any lack of focus, quar-
terback Alex Smith said. Hes all in. Hes
here. Hes been a part of everything. Jumped
in full go, so Im not really thinking or paying
attention to any of that other stuff.
Gore sought a contract comparable to the
$43 million, five-year deal running back
DeAngelo Williams 20 days older than San
Franciscos star recently received from the
Carolina Panthers. That includes $21 million
guaranteed. Williams missed the final 10
games last year with a sprained right foot.
Gore needs 931 yards to become the fran-
chises all-time leading rusher. While that is a
goal, he also wants to have a big year to help
turn the 49ers around after eight straight sea-
sons without a playoff berth or winning
record.
He ran for 853 yards and three touchdowns
last year before getting hurt in his sixth NFL
season. Gore also caught 46 passes for 452
yards and two TDs. His 24 100-yard rushing
games are the most in 49ers history.
The 49ers rewarded two other key players
with long-term contracts last year.
Tight end Vernon Davis signed a ve-year
extension worth $37 million overall, including
$34 million guaranteed, a night before the
2010 season opener. That made him the high-
est-paid tight end in NFL history.
In May of last year, All-Pro linebacker
Patrick Willis received a $50 million, ve-
year contract extension that takes him through
the 2016 season and includes $29 million in
guaranteed money. He earns $10 million per
season.
Niners, Gore agree on contract extension
Frank Gore
I know how I feel about Frank Gore.The guy is awesome.
Somebody should do a movie. Somebody should do the
Frank Gore story, because its an awesome story.

ALAMEDA Taiwan Jones spent all train-
ing camp trying to impress the Oakland Raiders
with his speed. Now theyre trying to get the
rookie running back to slow down.
Even he admits that might be a pretty tough
challenge.
My biggest problem is when I hear Hike! I
just want to go, Jones said Tuesday. A lot of
times you have to be more patient and let the
blocks develop. I just have to remind myself to
slow down.
After missing a large chunk of camp with a
slight hamstring pull, Jones has a lot of ground
to make up in a very short time.
He remains third on the Raiders depth chart
behind Darren McFadden and Michael Bush
and is one of six running backs on the teams
roster. At an even 6 feet, 195 pounds Jones is
also the smallest member of the group and
thats after gaining 20
pounds in the offseason.
Jones looked plenty quick
in his debut last weekend
against New Orleans when
he ran for 81 yards, includ-
ing a 22-yard touchdown,
caught two passes and
returned a kickoff.
Im not surprised, and I
think he can do more,
Raiders coach Hue Jackson said. I think he has
a bright future ahead of him but again, that was
one outing. He needs to do it consistently in
order to be talked about as one of these really
good players.
Jones will get another shot to do that when the
Raiders y to Seattle for their nal exhibition
game Thursday.

STANFORD David Shaw
promises to get emotional when he
walks into Stanford Stadium for the
rst time as a head coach Saturday.
He might even shed a tear or two.
Nerves? Not exactly.
Shaw has dreamed of leading his
alma mater since he was a receiver
at Stanford under late Hall of Fame
coach Bill Walsh in the early 1990s.
With the seventh-ranked Cardinal
opening the season against San Jose
State, Shaws debut carries a special
twist.
The meeting between the South
Bay rivals has been known as the
Bill Walsh Legacy Game for
years. Shaw was close with Walsh,
evidenced by the three pictures of
him hanging in his ofce and anoth-
er in the hallway, right up until the
former San Francisco 49ers coach
and San Jose State graduate died in
2007.
Thats how much he means to
me, Shaw said of his ofce decor.
That will most
likely get me
emotional right
before the game
starts. Ive
missed Bill
every single day
since he has
passed.
The connec-
tion between the
two runs far deeper.
Shaws father, Willie, a former
college and NFL assistant who had
two stints with the Cardinal, was the
front-runner for Stanfords head
coaching job in 1992 when his
son was on the team. At the last
minute, Walsh decided to return for
a second stint with the Cardinal.
Willie didnt have a chance.
The younger Shaw plans to pay
homage to the two men who have
inuenced his life and career more
than anybody else against San Jose
State. Shaw has made his father an
honorary captain, and a new version
of Walshs innovative West Coast
offense carried over from Shaws
predecessor, Jim Harbaugh will
be all over the eld.
You always remember your
coaches, Willie said. Bill had big
impact on him and, of course, Im
his father and I coached for 40
years. Its a dream come true for
him and for our family. David has
worked so hard for this for so long.
There is no job he wanted more than
this one. He has been waiting for
this moment for a long time.
While Walsh and Willie Shaw
already have cemented their lega-
cies, the season opener will be the
rst glimpse of Shaws stamp on the
program.
The rookie head coach is perhaps
the biggest unknown on The Farm
this season. Several starters are back
notably quarterback and
Heisman Trophy favorite Andrew
Luck from a team that went 12-1
last season, beat Virginia Tech 40-
12 in the Orange Bowl and nished
fourth in the nal AP poll.
Easily the most recognizable
change is at the top. Harbaugh
improved in each of his four seasons
at Stanford before he left for the
49ers in January, and Shaw pro-
moted from co-offensive coordina-
tor has a major hole to ll.
Shaw even made it a point to
address the staff change with play-
ers at the start of training camp.
He told us just from the get-go
that obviously theres a difference
between me and coach Harbaugh
that you can see, as far as him being
more ery and me being more calm.
Just dont make me be that guy,
safety Michael Thomas said.
Weve seen how he can be that
guy, Thomas added. So we under-
stand where hes coming from and
we respect him the utmost just like
we did coach Harbaugh.
Shaw plans to keep the same
three-headed monster approach to
calling plays.
Offensive coordinator Pep
Hamilton, run-game coordinator
Mike Bloomgren and Shaw will all
share the duties. How the actual
offense has evolved this year if at
all wont be known until they
host the Spartans, who were 1-12
last season and last upset Stanford
in 2006.
Stanfords players dont expect
much of a change come game day
this year. About the only major dif-
ference they say theyve noticed in
Shaw so far is his new job require-
ments.
I denitely see less of him than I
thought, Luck joked. I guess head
coaches actually have responsibili-
ties outside of installing the pass
game.
Shaw admits there will be an
added meaning to Saturdays this
fall.
Not only will his father be on the
sideline, his family will also be
close by in the stands. The extra
time away from his wife, Kori, and
their three children Keegan,
Carter and Gavin this season
makes sharing the moment with
them even more special.
As for any anxiousness or pres-
sure heading into his debut, dont
count on it.
Ive never been a big buttery
guy, Shaw said, chuckling. Now
dont get me wrong, I like butter-
ies. Im just one of those guys,
from the day I got the job I concen-
trate on what we need to do.
Shaws Stanford debut carries special meaning

We know that a concussion can be fol-
lowed with depression, said Dr. Robert
Cantu, clinical professor of neurosurgery and
co-director of the center. And depression can
be serious enough that hospitalization is
required in a small number of cases. We also
know that in his brain there were structural
abnormalities and (we are) clearly very
concerned that there was cause and effect
because of that. Do I know it with 100 percent
certainty? No. Can I put what percent certain-
ty I know it at? No. Do I think its more like-
ly than not? Yes.
The Trenums had their answer. Now they
want to share it with others.
It was scientic validation for what we
knew, Michelle Trenum said. But it was an
agonizing gift to be given that information
because you realize theres other parents out
there that have unanswered questions and
theyve lost loved ones, too. Its what you do
with that. Thats why, with Austin, we would
like his legacy to be that other people were
helped, that other parents dont have to go
through this, that other teammates realize
when a teammate has a traumatic brain injury,
they realize it and bring it to the attention of
the coach.
The Trenums also learned how their sons
concussion should have been treated.
Someone with symptoms as serious as
Austins should have rest with virtually no
brain stimulation at all. No watching game
film. No fishing. No concerts. No video
games. No texting. No television. It should be
that way for as long as the symptoms last,
even if it means days of inactivity.
If it was my son again, Gil Trenum said,
if he got another concussion, he would be
just laying down on the couch.
Gil Trenum is a member of the Prince
William County School Board. He is wearing
two plastic bracelets, orange from Austins
senior class and yellow from the lacrosse
team, in his sons memory. He worked to get
new guidelines implemented for all athletes at
the countys schools. New return-to-play cri-
teria. Concussion training for trainers. A sem-
inar that includes an eye-opening video, with
attendance mandatory for students and their
parents as a prerequisite for participating in
any sport, not just football.
I do want Prince William County to lead
the way on that, Gil Trenum said. I think we
can set the standard.
And, along with that standard, would come
the hoped-for culture change. The Trenums
havent disavowed football their youngest
son still plays the sport but they say its
time for athletes, parents and coaches every-
where to realize that a concussion is a brain
injury that needs serious, informed treatment.
Before it becomes a life-or-death issue.
Car seats are a good example, Gil Trenum
said. When I was a baby and came home
from the hospital, my mom rode in the front
seat of the car, holding me in her arms, no seat
belt. That was the way things were done then.
Now weve got technology changes. Weve
got procedural changes. Weve got cultural
changes. People would be shocked if you did
that now.

Jewelry robbery linked
to ex-NBA player, shooting
ATLANTA New details are emerging
about an NBA player charged in the shooting
death of an Atlanta woman.
A report obtained
Tuesday by The
Associated Press said
Javaris Crittenton was
robbed of $55,000 worth
of jewelry in April.
Authorities say Crittenton
was retaliating when he
shot Jullian Jones on Aug.
19, but they say she was
not the intended target.
Police have not said who
they think Crittenton was
after.
Jones neighbor Trontavious Stephens says
he was with Jones when she was shot, but he
doesnt know why they were targeted.
Crittenton was arrested Monday at a
Southern California airport. Crittentons attor-
ney says his client will be exonerated.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO A former payroll
manager for the San Francisco Giants has
been arrested on federal charges associated
with embezzling more than $1.5 million from
the baseball clubs employees, including play-
ers, and using the money for fancy cars and a
new home.
Robin OConnor, 41, was confronted by the
team in July and acknowledged diverting
more than $600,000 from two Giants employ-
ees, a criminal complaint led last month in
U.S. District Court in San Francisco said. An
afdavit led by an FBI special agent states
that the club immediately red her.
The Giants conrmed Tuesday that the club
had discovered possible embezzlement by
OConnor last month.
We immediately notied the United States
Attorneys ofce and are working with the
federal authorities to ensure that this matter is
thoroughly investigated and that any wrong-
doing is prosecuted to the fullest extent of the
law, the team said in a statement.
The team conducted an audit after
OConnors alleged admission and discovered
11 suspicious deposits totaling more than dou-
ble what she had confessed to, for a total of
$1,513,836, the afdavit said.
OConnor, who lives in the San Francisco
Bay area suburb of American Canyon, didnt
immediately respond to an email or phone
message Tuesday night. The federal public
defender listed as her attorney also did not
respond to an email seeking comment.
She is currently free on a $500,000 bail
bond.
The team paid her $80,000 annually in base
salary and she was eligible for bonuses,
according to the afdavit. She processed pay-
roll for Giants employees, including players,
and was responsible for making changes to
amounts of money sent to employees bank
accounts.
The rst sign of trouble came on July 5,
when the Giants were contacted by Bank of
America, who said OConnor had applied for
a residential loan for a property in San Diego,
the afdavit stated. The loan le included a
letter on San Francisco Giants letterhead
explaining two large deposits that had been
made into OConnors bank account.
Because of her outstanding contributions
to our Major League Baseball team and front
ofce during the 2010 season that assisted us
in accomplishing our goal of winning the
2010 World Series, she was given two addi-
tional payments of compensation in May
2011, the letter, quoted in the afdavit, states.
Those payments were for $100,090 and
$200,348, the afdavit states.
The letter also provided a phone number for
a human resources manager who could con-
rm the payments, but the number was actual-
ly OConnors direct line at work, the afdavit
states.
In addition, documents obtained by investi-
gators showed that OConnor spent tens of
thousands of dollars on expensive cars,
including a BMW.
Former Giants employee charged with embezzlement
last season, their offensive output was nowhere
near the level of the leagues top tier. That said,
with a solid defense, South Citys offense might
only need to take a small step forward to push
the team toward the top of the table.
The key offensively will be the play of Brad
Los, the starting quarterback. Los returns for
another season under center with the hopes of
opening things up vertically for the Warriors.
Hes a smart athlete, Moro said of his sig-
nal-caller. Weve worked on his throwing
motion and on his progressions. Last year, he
did well with his three-step drop, but he needed
work on reading his progressions down the eld.
Hes wanted to grow from being just a three-step
quarterback. He gets rid of the ball fast and puts
it on the numbers with some velocity.
Most of Los throws will be in the direction of
Johnson, the tallest (and probably fastest) out-
side target on the South City team. But look for
South City to stick to their running game in
hopes of setting up that pass.
I think thats how you win in high school
football, Moro said. You have to control the
clock, run the ball and try to pound people.
Moro said there are three or four guys that will
see considerable carries, players like Ramzy
Azar, Keven Cuhna and Jayson Delacruz. But
dont be surprised if South City opens things up
a lot more in 2011 with Moro hinting at single
back sets, and even the occasional empty back-
eld.
Of course, that will rely on the play of an
offensive line that lacks a little size, but makes
up for it with athleticism.
Anthony Amperosa, Tevita Faaiu and Raf
Lopez (who Moro called the strongest center
hes ever had) will anchor the offensive line.
I love our O-line, Moro said. Were a cohe-
sive group.
The Warriors will be challenged week in and
week out in the very competitive Ocean, but as
mentioned, the key for the Warriors is simple:
Focus, Moro said. We have to focus. We have
the athletes, but we need to focus on playing 48
minutes.
Then, the Fs will turn into Ws.

Jordan Veamau will also see plenty
of carries out of the backeld.
Jenkins, only a sophomore,
appears to be the heir apparent to
Lauese. He was the Cherokees
kicker last year as a freshman, as
well as a starting linebacker. He will
add more running duties to his list
this year and is constantly looking
to do everything right.
Hes fast and athletic and strong
as heck, Poulos said of Jenkins.
Its kind of funny to watch him
sometimes. Hes so self critical.
(But) he seems to be able to turn
the page.
Both the offensive and defensive
lines are big, but are more athletic
than last year, which Poulos
believes is a bonus. Julian Bertero,
Filipo Fatele, Cooper Knudsen,
Avhineet Ram, Nehemiah Teputepu
are all well over 200 pounds and
will alternate on both the offensive
and defensive lines.
The defense is looking good. Its
looking different, Poulos said.
Were not as big as we were last
year, but were swarming to the ball.
Our guys are getting used to that.
Guys are moving a little quicker.
We need to be more mobile,
more football savvy. (But) were
still going to punch you in the
mouth. Were still going to run (the
ball) down your throat when we
can.
The leader of the defense and
quite possibly the heart and soul of
the team is Lauese, who is a
beast at linebacker. Arguably one of
the biggest hitters in the PAL, he is
also getting Division I looks.
Jenkins will also man a linebacker
spot and Poulos is expecting big
things out of Bertero from the
defensive end.
While Poulos wont have many
players playing both ways full time,
most of the players do have posi-
tions on both sides of the ball, as
well as know a couple positions on
either offense or defense.
Poulos said one of the teams
strengths, is the fact were inter-
changeable. We have guys playing
at two different positions.
Our guys seem a little more ex-
ible this year, Poulos continued. If
we have to move them, theyll be
able to play that position.

SEQUOIA
McFadden, who missed a portion of camp
with a fractured orbital bone, has not played at
all this preseason and will likely be held out of
the nale against the Seahawks. Bush is likely to
start in McFaddens place but will probably take
only a handful of reps before giving way to the
backups.
That means a welcome but increased work-
load for Jones, Oaklands fourth-round draft pick
who needs to keep pressing the pedal in order to
make the Raiders 53-man roster.
To do that Jones also needs to slow down a bit
at least mentally. That was something he
admittedly struggled to do against the Saints.
With 30 friends and family members in the
stands, Jones almost became too excited and had
to catch himself before settling in.
The hardest thing was trying to slow myself
down, Jones said. I was so anxious and excit-
ed that I was able to showcase my talent against
another team that I was a little too fast some-
times. I just had to slow things down, take a deep
breath and try to be patient.
The combination of McFadden and Bush
helped the Raiders nish with the NFLs second-
ranked running game in 2010, and Jackson is
looking to build off that this year.
But both players have a history of injuries, too,
which was one of the reasons Oakland drafted
Jones in April.
Now its a matter of getting the speedy runner
to maintain his quickness while slowing down
everything else.
God, can this guy run, Jackson said. Hes
very nimble and hes very smooth. For a guy
thats built like he is, hes very physical. Theres
a lot of velocity behind the man when he runs
into a pile.
Meanwhile the Raiders made several roster
moves to reach the 80-player limit by Tuesdays
deadline.
Linebacker Travis Goethel and rookie offen-
sive lineman Alan Pelc were placed on injured
reserve. Additionally, fullback Bryson Kelly,
wide receivers Damola Adeniji and Steve
Goulet, offensive linemen Ben Lamaak and Lou
Eliades, safety Josh Bullocks and defensive tack-
le Derrick Hill were all waived.
Goethel, who was expected to back up middle
linebacker Rolando McClain, suffered a knee
injury during training camp last week. The sec-
ond-year player had also played on special
teams.
Notes: CB Chris Johnson returned to practice
and should be available to play in the Raiders
season-opener. Johnson underwent a surgical
procedure in camp, though neither he nor the
team have disclosed what the surgery was for. ...
C/LG Stefen Wisniewski attended practice but
only as a spectator. Jackson said Wisniewski was
dinged up. ... Jackson hinted that QB Terrelle
Pryor may play against Seattle, though he
wouldnt say how much. If he does play, it will
be Pryors only appearance in a game until after
he serves his ve-game NFL suspension.

W
hen it comes to green
beans, the oven tends to get
overlooked.
Maybe its because steaming and
sauteing are so
quick, and bring-
ing out the best in
green beans calls
for just a bit of
heat. But a short,
yet intense, high-
heat roast can
have the same
delicious effect,
with the added
benet of giving
the beans a satis-
fying char. Its
also almost effortless.
To prove the point, I came up with
this simple, yet boldly avored salad of
roasted green beans with pancetta and
garlic. The beans then are tossed with
cool, raw cherry tomatoes for a pleasant
and juicy contrast. For the dressing, its
just a splash of lemon juice and a sprin-
kle of Parmesan.
ROASTED GREEN BEAN
AND PANCETTA SALAD
Start to nish: 25 minutes
Servings: 4
1 1/2 pounds green beans, ends
trimmed
3 cloves garlic, chopped
4 ounces pancetta, diced
Juice of 1 lemon
1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
Kosher (or other coarse) salt and
ground black pepper
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Heat the oven to 500 F.
On a rimmed baking sheet, toss the
green beans, garlic and pancetta to mix,
then spread in an even layer. Roast for
10 minutes, or until the beans are
browned.
Transfer the beans and pancetta mix-
ture, as well as any juices in the pan, to
a large bowl. Drizzle the lemon juice
over the beans, then add the cherry
tomatoes and toss well. Season with
salt and pepper.
Divide the salad between serving
plates, then sprinkle generously with
Parmesan.

GOT LEFTOVERS?
Turn leftovers of this roasted green
bean and pancetta salad into an intense
cool pasta salad. Boil up some spiral
pasta. During the nal 5 minutes of
cooking, add 1 to 2 cups (depending on
volume of leftovers) frozen corn kernels
and continue cooking. If you have fresh
kernels cut from the cob, skip the boil-
ing step and simply add them to the
bowl in the next step.
When the pasta is cooked, drain it
and the corn, then run under cool water,
then drain again. In a large bowl, toss
the pasta and corn with the leftover
green bean salad. Add a bit more lemon
juice, then season with salt and pepper.
Stir in a bit more grated Parmesan
cheese. For a spicy hit, mix in 1 tea-
spoon nely minced jalapeno pepper.

Cigar City brewing beer
that tastes like Tampa
By Brendan Farrigton
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TAMPA, Fla When a friend gave Joey Redner a taste of a
beer that had been aged with Spanish cedar the wood used
to wrap and box cigars he knew it was an idea worth steal-
ing.
The aroma and avor instantly reminded the then avid home
brewer of his hometowns historic Ybor City and the hand-
rolled cigars Tampa is famous for. And he knew that if he ever
owned a brewery, his beer needed to evoke the same memories.
It just blew me away because when I smelled it, it was like
waking down Seventh Avenue in Ybor City, walking past a
cigar shop, said Redner, who now owns Cigar City Brewing.
It was a win/win. It was good and it really pinpointed it on the
map as coming from my city.
Plenty of brewers name their beers for the regions where
they are made. But Cigar City takes it further, using ingredients
such as Spanish cedar, guava, Cuban espresso and citrus woods
to craft beers that also taste of Tampas heritage.
Doing so also has helped prop up the craft beer industry in a
state once mocked for its offerings. Cigar City has become the
most visible brewer in a suddenly hot Florida beer industry.
Cigar City led the way and said, Were going to make big
beer, were going to make hoppy beers, were going to have

sour beers and funky oak-aged spiced beers
and the response has been amazing for them,
said Ben Davis, the owner and brewer at
Jacksonvilles Intuition Ale Works, which
opened last fall. Theyre the best brewery in
the state of Florida. Theyre denitely bringing
credibility to our entire state.
For years, Florida was a joke among craft
beer lovers. The wasteland is what Davis
said it often was called. For perspective,
Portland, Ore., had about as many breweries in
its city limits as Florida had in the entire state.
Now Florida craft brewing is seeing a surge.
There are only three Florida craft brewers who
were distributing beer offsite before 2007
Dunedin Brewery, Orlando Brewing and
Florida Beer, a Melbourne company that
bought beer brands that were previously
brewed in Key West, Miami and Tampa.
Then Saint Somewhere Brewing Company
opened in Tarpon Springs in 2007 and began
selling Belgian-style ales. The next year Bold
City began brewing in Jacksonville. Then
Cigar City launched in 2009. Since then, at
least seven breweries have opened around the
state, with several more preparing to open.
Redner became a fan of craft beer during a
1994 trip to Portland.
I spent the rest of my time in Florida trying
to nd those beers and failing, Redner said.
And then you start getting into home brewing
because you think, Oh, well Ill just make it
myself.
He also kept an eye on the market and when
he felt interest was growing in Florida for craft
beer, he hired brewer Wayne Wambles, who
shared his interest in creative recipes.
Tampas nickname is The Big Guava, so
Redner made a Belgian-style saison using
guava. Cuban heritage and Cuban coffee
also is important to the city, so Redner made
an ale that included Cuban roasted espresso.
He and Wambles also took one of their ale
recipes and brewed three different batches
with three different kinds of mushrooms,
achieving an added earthiness to beer.

growers in San Mateo County and weve only
got 50 acres.
Giusti Farms was begun in 1949 by his
father-in-law Aldo Giusti, said Riley, 58, but
didnt grow artichokes until Giusti bought the
land with the original artichokes in 1980.
They were later transported to where they now
grow in elds just outside the city. Today,
Giusti Farms uses about 350 acres in total, and
Riley said they grow several different sizes of
artichokes.
Larger growers in the state are growing
more seeded artichokes because theyre less
expensive and produce more artichokes, Riley
said. Giusti Farms grows artichokes using a
root stalk system Riley said the climate in
the Half Moon Bay area is more conducive to
that method. Every four years, the elds are
dug up and the plants are divided and replant-
ed. This allows for year-round harvesting and
Riley said it takes more care but produces a
better-tasting artichoke.
The chefs know the difference between the
two and they try to just use the one, Riley
said.
Artichokes are picked every day on Giusti
Farms and packed for delivery. The farm sells
directly to several local restaurants, and most
of it is done by Riley when he gets a call he
throws the artichokes in his truck and drives to
the restaurant. He said he makes deliveries
three or four times a week. Since joining the
business, Riley said the farm has developed
relationships with more restaurants.
Cetrella in downtown Half Moon Bay has
done business with Giusti Farms for 10 years,
and chef Douglas DeGeeter said the farm is
the restaurants only source for artichokes. He
said using artichokes from Giusti Farms was
an obvious choice and they have a neighborly
relationship with the farm. Cetrella gets three
cases of artichokes from Giusti Farms a week,
and Riley said Cetrella was the rst restaurant
to put the farms name on the menu.
My wife and my brother-in-law and the
family, they get a kick out of seeing the name
on the menu, Riley said.
Cetrella uses artichokes from Giusti Farms
in three dishes, including a pizza, a fritto
misto (a variety of seasonal vegetables served
together and fried), and in a quinoa served
with sh.
They have a nice product and theyre con-
sistent, DeGeeter said. The backbone of a
restaurant is built on consistency.
A second local restaurant where customers
can nd Giusti Farms artichokes is Sams
Chowder House, also in Half Moon Bay.
Sams has used Giusti Farms as their sole
source for artichokes since it opened in 2006,
and executive chef and partner Lewis
Rossman said they buy 20-25 cases every
week. Rossman said he has a very close rela-
tionship with the farm, and speaks with Riley
a couple of times a week. Owners Paul and
Julie Shenkman also run Osteria Coppa in San
Mateo, and artichokes from Giusti Farms are
used on their menu as well.
The menu at Sams Chowder House
changes seasonally, but Rossman said he uses
Giustis artichokes in a dish in which he peels
them down to the heart, soaks them in milk
and tosses it in our, and then fries it. Hes
also currently using them in a dish in which he
braises the hearts in a mix of white wine,
water and herbs and serves them with tuna.
Its a special relationship where I can ask
for any size and Im going to get good prod-
uct that suits our purposes just ne, Rossman
said. With him I get that kind of consisten-
cy.
The biggest buyer of Giusti Farms arti-
chokes is Duartes Tavern in Pescadero, Riley
said. Ron Duarte is a third generation owner
of the restaurant, and said theyve done busi-
ness with Giusti Farms for more than 10 years
and developed a friendship with the farm.
Duartes uses a large volume of artichokes
from several sources including some bigger
growers in other areas of California, but
theyve also stayed loyal to Giusti Farms.
Though Duarte said many of the bigger
growers he buys from grow seeded artichokes,
as far as hes concerned artichokes grown
using roots are still the best. Duartes uses
artichokes in several dishes their famous
artichoke soup, an artichoke appetizer with
aioli sauce, an artichoke linguine and steamed
artichokes.
Theyre an old farmer family ... and theyre
great to do business with anyway, Duarte
said. We use all sizes ... the condition deter-
mines what we do with it.
In addition to direct delivery, local restau-
rants get Giusti Farms artichokes through sup-
pliers or local markets.
Mezza Luna in Half Moon Bay uses arti-
chokes from Giusti Farms in several dishes
including artichoke gnocchi, artichoke soup
and on top of pizza and have gotten artichokes
from the farm since 1993. Owner Giovanni
Marzocca said that the Giusti family comes
into the restaurant all the time.
After 20 years, its like a friendship,
Marzocca said.
However, Mezza Luna gets their artichokes
through a supplier, GF Produce in Pacica
Marzocca said theyve worked with them for
20 years and it wouldnt be fair to not use
them to get artichokes from Giusti Farms.
Through GF Produce, they get a couple cases
of artichokes from Giusti Farms per week, and
head chef Carlos Marquez said its his only
source for artichokes. Artichokes from Giusti
Farms are very good, Marzocca said, and they
always look good.

popular subscription service Netix, arent
dynamic.
We sort of had this epiphany where we
said, This is really transactional and imper-
sonal, says Galbraith, CEO of ickme. You
sort of have this environment where you nd
a movie and watch it and go about your busi-
ness, but there wasnt much that was very
social or fun about the process.
With all of these inherent social elements
of movies as an entertainment form, it was
amazing that digital movies had lost that per-
sonal, social element.
Though studios have long utilized Facebook
as a promotional tool, they only earlier this
year began using it to offer movies for rent. In
just the last few months, its been a veritable
land rush into the social network.
In August, Miramaxs eXperience went live,
offering 20 titles to rent on Facebook.
Universal Pictures recently launched its
Social Theater application with The Big
Lebowski. Paramount Pictures stepped into
the space, making its Jackass lms available
for rental through Facebook. Warner Bros.
made the rst entry, making a handful of lms
including The Dark Knight available to
watch for 30 Facebook credits, or $3.
Thomas Gewecke, president of Warner
Bros. digital distribution, said hes been
encouraged by the experiment.
Were very excited and interested in
Facebook as a potential distribution channel
for our content, says Gewecke. (ickme)
leverages the strength of the social network
and its also economically interesting to the
movie studios. We feel as though theres lots
of room for experimentation.
The most notable distinction to ickme is
its sharable discount feature, which encour-
ages recommendations among friends.
Though new releases are offered for $3.99 and
older lms for $2.99, users can rent a lm for
$1.49 if a friend recommends it. The discount
works for up to 10 friends via Facebook and
Twitter, provided the original viewer pays reg-
ular price. About a third of the lms on
ickme have this offer.
We feel like a lot of users have the per-
spective that if they spend tons of time trying
to nd a movie, they struggle to nd what they
want, and they may end up watching one that
they didnt love, that waste of time is worth
way more than a couple of bucks, says
Galbraith.
For studios, social media recommendations
offer an appealing way to crowd-source the
marketing of their catalog.
After weve released a title and the heat has
died down on it some and its otherwise just
sort of out there in the ether, social networks
are great opportunities, we think, for con-
sumers to market our titles to one another,
says John Calkins, executive vice president of
global digital and commercial innovation at
Sony Pictures Home Entertainment.

SAN FRANCISCO San Francisco
chef Chris Cosentino isnt much of a
football fan. But that doesnt mean he
doesnt know how to toss the pigskin
around the gridiron. Or the frying pan.
Were talking hide of the hog, of
course, that often-neglected part of the
pig that is winning new appreciation as
chefs tune in to its lush, unctuous proper-
ties.
Were starting to see it become the
focus, says Cosentino, chef at Incanto
restaurant in San Francisco and a cham-
pion of so-called nose-to-tail eating.
Pigskin is becoming the highlighted
item in the dish now, whereas before it
was more of an additional component to
the dish. It has its own uniqueness. It has
its own texture, its own avor.
Among his specialties is ciccioli, a
kind of sausage made by braising scraps
of lean meat with fat and skin and sea-
soning the mixture with garlic and rose-
mary, and chicharons, pieces of pork rind
that have been seasoned and deep-fried.
Perhaps the most interesting recipe is
the pigskin pasta, in which marinated
skin is slowly braised so its tender, but
not too soft, then then chilled. After that,
excess fat is scraped off and the skin is
cranked through a pasta cutter to produce
spaghetti.
Cosentino rst encountered the pigskin
pasta, served with a marinara sauce, at
the Joe Beef restaurant in Montreal and
was bummed out that I hadnt gured it
out first, he says with a laugh.
Fortunately, chef Fred Morin was willing
to share. He has served the pigskin pasta
with porcini and trufes, a natural pair-
ing since pigs hunt trufes, as well as
with clams and cherry tomatoes.
In Texas, chef Tim Love of the
Lonesome Dove Western Bistro in Fort
Worth has his own take on pigskin.
Unlike Cosentino, Love is a football
fan, the Dallas Cowboys to be specic,
and has cooked for the players. Sundays
mean roast meat and tailgating, which
often includes the PLT crispy pigskin,
lettuce and tomato a sandwich he
broke out at a tailgate party one day and
everybody went crazy.
An easy snack is to take a bag of fried
hot and spicy pork skins and top them
with red onion, creme fraiche and some
caviar. Zippy and creamy its a great
hors doeuvre, Love says. He also
makes pigskin nachos, using pulled pork
on top of crunchy pigskins with a few
pickled chilies.
Boston chef Ken Oringer has divided
loyalties when it comes to football. As
owner of six Beantown restaurants
including Clio, Uni and Toro, his sympa-
thies naturally lie with the New England
Patriots, some of whom often visit his
restaurants. But as a native of New Jersey
he has to root for the J-E-T-S, too.
Pigskin, on the other hand, inspires no
such reservations.
At Clio he fries pigskin and uses it as a
vessel for chowder with oyster emul-
sion, freeze-dried corn and crispy slivers
of potato. At La Verdad, his taqueria, he
braises pigskin in spicy salsa verde for
tacos and stuffs it into corn tortillas
topped with radishes, cilantro, pickled
onions and jalapeno.
I love cooking with pig skin. Its an
ingredient used in so many cuisines,
from Southeast Asian to Spain to Brazil,
and I love seeing how different cultures
use it, says Love. Its interesting to see
how chefs turn this rustic, almost peas-
ant, ingredient into an elevated and com-
posed dish. Its something that is so root-
ed in the food of grandmothers, and has
recently been embraced by chefs and
diners more than ever.

S
kinless chicken breasts have become
the new cottage cheese the ubiqui-
tous base upon which so many
weight-loss diets are built.
But it still doesnt register well on the old
excitement meter. I mean, how many times
have you found yourself
craving a naked, unsea-
soned hunk of chicken
breast? Id raise the
white ag and order
pizza if the road to last-
ing health looked like
an endless parade of
plain chicken breasts.
Take the advice of a
guy who has gobbled
his fair share of chicken
you dont abandon it
altogether, but you do
need to break up the
monotony. Especially
when dieting, it is important not to get lazy in
your chicken prep. Its time to add some perk
to your poultry.
Because a diet thats dull is a diet you
wont stick to.
This chicken dish is anything but dull. For
starters, Ive used chicken thighs. Sure, they
arent as low in fat as breasts, but being skin-
less and by trimming all visible fat they
become fairly low in fat. The other bonus
chicken thighs deliver a deeper, richer avor
than breast meat. Leaving the meat on the
bone also adds avor.
Plus, when bone-in, theyre are perfect for
the grill and are hard to overcook since the
dark meat remains moist.
Sometimes unlikely ingredients seem like
strange bedfellows, but often they come
together seamlessly to create something deli-
cious. Thats the case with these chicken
thighs paired with fresh gs and rosemary.
The combo might seem a little iffy, but trust
me, it works and adds delicious ber and a-
vor to the dish.
Figs are among the highest ber fruits you
can eat. I grew up loving my grandmothers
home-grown gs; she had both a black g
tree and a white one.
When Id arrive for a visit she would start
to pick them off the tree, gather the recently
fallen ones off the ground and make a small
basket with the leaves of the g tree. She
would be waiting for me at the end of her
driveway. Ill never forget the image of her
proudly holding her basket of gs for me.
Nothing kills a commitment to healthy eat-
ing faster than boredom. If youre battling
meal monotony, youve come to the right
place. And check out these numbers. My ver-
sion of this dish has just 228 calories and 8
grams of fat. Traditional versions clock in at
521 calories and 28 grams of fat.
WARM SALAD OF GRILLED
CHICKEN THIGHS, FIGS AND
SHAVED PARMIGIANO-REGGIANO
Start to nish: 30 minutes
Servings: 4
4 tablespoons red wine vinegar, divided
2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary, divid-
ed
Salt and ground black pepper
8 bone-in, skinless chicken thighs, each cut
into 2 pieces each (2 to 2 1/2 pounds total)
1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion
1 teaspoon chopped fresh basil
2 ripe fresh gs, cut lengthwise into quar-
ters
8 cups loosely packed fresh arugula
1 ounce Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese,
shaved
In a large bowl, combine half each of the
vinegar and rosemary. Season with salt and
pepper. Add the chicken and toss to coat.
Cover and marinate at room temperature for
15 minutes or in the refrigerator for up to 4
hours, turning the chicken occasionally.
Place the onions in a large bowl and add
the remaining red wine vinegar and a pinch
of salt. Mix and set aside for 15 minutes to 1
hour, tossing occasionally.
Heat a grill or grill pan to medium-low.
Place the chicken thighs on the grill and cook
for 15 to 20 minutes, or until nicely browned
and cooked through, turning the chicken
halfway through grilling. Transfer the chicken
to a plate and sprinkle with basil. Set aside.
Add the arugula, gs and remaining rose-
mary to the onions and vinegar. Gently toss
the salad, then season with salt and pepper.
Divide the salad between 4 serving plates.
Place the chicken thigh halves around the
salad, then sprinkle the salads with shaved
Parmigiano-Reggiano.
Dont let boring chicken kill your diet
ROCCO
DISPIRITO
When grilling the chicken, keep
the grill at medium-low heat so the
thighs cook through before get
too charred. Also, dont be afraid to
go a little heavy on the fresh
pepper.When it grills, it forms a
delicious crust that pairs well with
the sweet gs in the salad.
Select a free-range chicken, or try
to nd a chicken that is air chilled,
such as Murrays.When chicken is
not chilled in ice it retains more
avor.
When selecting fresh gs, choose
any type, such as black mission,
brown turkey or green. Just be sure

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PHOENIX An 86-year-old
Arizona man whose eye socket was
impaled with a pair of pruning
shears said Tuesday he experienced
excruciating pain during the ordeal
and feels lucky to be alive.
Leroy Luetscher, a Wisconsin
native who now lives in Green
Valley in southern Arizona, said he
had just nished trimming plants in
his backyard on July 30 when he
lost his balance and fell on the prun-
ing shears.
The tool went into his right eye
socket and down into his neck, rest-
ing against the carotid artery. Half
the shears were left in his head
pushing up against his eye, while
the other half was sticking out.
Luetscher said he put his hand to
his face and realized the shears had
gone into his eye.
I didnt know if my eyeball was
still there or what, he said. I never
had pain like that in all my life.
Luetscher, whose face was gush-
ing blood, was able to walk to the
laundry room of his house and
beckon his longtime live-in girl-
friend, Arpy Williams, who called
911.
An ambulance rushed him to
University Medical Center in
Tucson, where a team of surgeons
immediately took scans of his brain
and came up with a plan to treat
him.
It was a bit overwhelming, said
Dr. Lynn Polonski, one of
Luetschers surgeons. It was
wedged in there so tightly, you
could not move it. It was part of his
face.
Polonski said the team made inci-
sions underneath his right upper lip
and his sinus wall, allowing them to
loosen the handle of the pruning
shears with their ngers. Once we
were able to loosen it up, it went
fairly easily, he said.
Doctors also rebuilt Luetschers
orbital oor with a titanium plate
and put him on antibiotics for 20
days to stave off an infection that
could have proved fatal.
Luetscher still has slight swelling
in his eyelids and minor double
vision but has otherwise recovered.
Polonski said so many things
could have gone much worse for
Luetscher.
The shears could have ruptured
his eye ball, hit his brain or severed
his carotid artery.
You know, if it went a little bit in
a different direction, it basically
could have killed him or he could
have had a stroke, Polonski said.
Hes was very lucky that it missed
all vital structures and we were
basically able to put him back
together.
Polonski said hes never seen any-
thing like Luetschers injury in his
13 years as a surgeon.

Romney on Perrys turf
assails career politicians
By Will Weissert
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN ANTONIO Republican presidential candidate Mitt
Romney castigated career politicians Tuesday as he tried to
distinguish himself from chief rival Rick
Perry while on the governors home turf in
Texas.
I am a conservative businessman. I spent
most of my life outside of politics, dealing
with real problems in the real economy,
Romney told the Veterans of Foreign Wars
annual convention in San Antonio. Career
politicians got us into this mess and they
simply dont know how to get us out.
Romney didnt mention Perry by name
during the speech, which comes as national
polls show Perry with more support than
Romney. For months, Romney has led the
pack seeking the GOP presidential nomina-
tion and largely ignored his would-be rivals.
Even so, the contrast Romney is seeking
to draw is clear. He was a businessman who
founded a venture capital rm and headed
the 2002 Olympic Winter Games in Salt
Lake City before serving a single term as
Massachusetts governor. Perry is Texas
longest-serving governor and has been an elected public ofcial
for 27 years, having served as lieutenant governor, agricultural
commissioner and a state representative before becoming gov-
ernor in 2000.
A Perry spokesman dismissed Romneys jab: Governor
Perry was a farmer and served in the military for a combined 19
years, Mark Miner said.
Justice replaces three
over flawed operation
By Pete Yost
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON The Justice Department replaced three
ofcials Tuesday who played critical roles in a awed law
enforcement operation aimed at major gun-trafcking net-
works on the Southwest border.
The department announced that the acting director of the
Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and the
U.S. attorney in Arizona had resigned and an administration
ofcial said a prosecutor who worked on the operation was
reassigned to civil cases.
The operation, known as Fast and Furious, was designed to
track small-time gun buyers at several Phoenix-area gun shops
up the chain to make cases against major weapons trafckers.
It was a response to longstanding criticism of ATF for concen-
trating on small-time gun violations and failing to attack the
kingpins of weapons trafcking.
A congressional investigation of the program has turned up
evidence that ATF lost track of many of the more than 2,000
guns linked to the operation. The Justice Department inspector
general also is looking into the operation at the request of
Attorney General Eric Holder.
The operation has resulted in charges against 20 people and
more may be charged.

XIAFLEX is a prescription medicine used to treat
adults with Dupuytrens contracture when a cord
can be felt. Over time, the thickening of this cord
in your hand can cause one or more ngers to bend
toward your palm, so that you cannot straighten
them. XIAFLEX should be injected into the cord by a
healthcare provider who is experienced in injection
procedures of the hand and treating people with
Dupuytrens contracture. XIAFLEX helps to break
down the cord that is causing the nger to be bent.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
XIAFLEX can cause serious side effects, including:
s Tendon or ligament damage. Receiving an
injection of XIAFLEX may cause damage to a
tendon or ligament in your hand and cause it to
break or weaken. This could require surgery to
x the damaged tendon or ligament. Call your
healthcare provider right away if you have trouble
bending your injected nger (towards the wrist)
after the swelling goes down or you have problems
using your treated hand after your follow-up visit.
s Nerve injury or other serious injury of the hand.
Call your healthcare provider if you get numbness,
tingling, or increased pain in your treated nger
or hand after your injection or after your
follow-up visit.
s Allergic reactions. Allergic reactions can
happen in people who have received an injection
of XIAFLEX because it contains foreign proteins.
Call your healthcare provider right away if
you have any of these symptoms of an allergic
reaction after an injection of XIAFLEX: hives;
swollen face; breathing trouble; or chest pain.
Before receiving XIAFLEX, tell your healthcare
provider if you have had an allergic reaction to a
previous XIAFLEX injection, or have a bleeding problem
or any other medical conditions. Tell your healthcare
provider about all the medicines you take, including
prescription and non-prescription medicines, vitamins,
and herbal supplements. Be sure to tell them if you
use blood thinners such as aspirin, clopidogrel
(Plavix), prasugrel hydrochloride (Efent), or
warfarin sodium (Coumadin).
Common side effects with XIAFLEX include: swelling
of the injection site or the hand, bleeding or bruising
at the injection site; and pain or tenderness of the
injection site or the hand, swelling of the lymph nodes
(glands) in the elbow or underarm, itching, breaks in
the skin, redness or warmth of the skin, and pain in
the underarm.
If you have Dupuytrens contracture, the rope-like cord you feel in the palm of your hand will
continue to cause your ngers to bend toward your palm, and may worsen over time.
Ask your doctor about XIAFLEX, the only non-surgical, FDA-approved
treatment for adults with Dupuytrens contracture when a cord can be felt.

What is XIAFLEX?
XIAFLEX is a prescription medicine used to treat
adults with Dupuytrens contracture when
a cord can be felt.
In people with Dupuytrens contracture, there is
thickening of the skin and tissue in the palm of
your hand that is not normal. Overtime, this
thickened tissue can form a cord in your palm.
This causes one or more of your ngers to bend
toward the palm, so you cannot straighten them.
XIAFLEX should be injected into a cord by a
healthcare provider who is skilled in injection
procedures of the hand and treating people with
Dupuytrens contracture. The proteins in XIAFLEX
help to break the cord of tissue that is causing
the nger to be bent.
It is not known if XIAFLEX is safe and effective
in children under the age of 18.
What should I tell my healthcare provider
before starting treatment with XIAFLEX?
XIAFLEX may not be right for you. Before receiving
XIAFLEX, tell your healthcare provider if you:

healthcare provider about the best way to
feed your baby if you receive XIAFLEX.
Tell your healthcare provider about all the medicines
you take, including prescription and non-prescription
medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements.
Especially tell your healthcare provider if you use:
a blood thinner medicine such as aspirin, clopidogrel
(PLAVIX), prasugrel hydrochloride (EFFIENT),
or warfarin sodium (COUMADIN). If you are told
to stop taking a blood thinner before your XIAFLEX
injection, your healthcare provider should tell
you when to restart the blood thinner.
How will I receive XIAFLEX?
Your healthcare provider will inject XIAFLEX into
the cord that is causing your nger to bend.
After an injection of XIAFLEX, your affected hand
will be wrapped with a bandage. You should limit
moving and using the treated nger after
the injection.
Do not bend or straighten the ngers of the
injected hand until your healthcare provider
says it is okay. This will help prevent the
medicine from leaking out of the cord.
Do not try to straighten the treated
nger yourself.
Keep the injected hand elevated until bedtime.

During this rst follow-up visit, if you still have
the cord, your healthcare provider may try to
extend the treated nger to break the cord and
try to straighten your nger.
Your healthcare provider will provide you
with a splint to wear on the treated nger.
Wear the splint as instructed by your healthcare
provider at bedtime to keep your nger straight.
Do nger exercises each day, as instructed by
your healthcare provider.
Follow your healthcare providers instructions
about when you can start doing your normal
activities with the injected hand.

Libyan rebels make their way in a tank passing through the area of Bin Jawad.
By Paul Schemm and Karin Laub
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
HEISHA, Libya Libyan rebels say theyre
closing in on Moammar Gadha and issued an
ultimatum Tuesday to regime loyalists in the
fugitive dictators hometown of Sirte, his main
remaining bastion: surrender this weekend or
face an attack.
We have a good idea where he is, a top rebel
leader said.
The rebels, tightening their grip on Libya
after a military blitz, also demanded that Algeria
return Gadhas wife and three of his children
who ed there Monday. Granting asylum to his
family, including daughter Aisha who gave birth
in Algeria on Tuesday, was an enemy act, said
Ahmed al-Darrad, the rebels interior minister.
Rebel leaders insisted they are slowly restor-
ing order in the war-scarred capital of Tripoli
after a week of ghting, including deploying
police and collecting garbage. Reporters touring
Tripoli still saw chaotic scenes, including des-
perate motorists stealing fuel from a gas station.
In the capitals Souk al Jumma neighborhood,
about 200 people pounded on the doors of a
bank, demanding that it open. Civil servants
said they were told they would receive a 250-
dinar (about $200) advance on their salaries for
the three-day Muslim holiday of Eid al-Fitr,
which starts Wednesday in Libya.
Rebel ghters were converging on the heavi-
ly militarized town of Sirte, some 250 miles
(400 kilometers) east of Tripoli.
The rebels gave pro-Gadha forces there a
deadline of Saturday the day after the end of
the Muslim holiday to complete negotiations
and surrender. After that, the rebels will act
decisively and militarily, said Mustafa Abdul-
Jalil, the head of the rebels National
Transitional Council.
His deputy, Ali Tarhouni, said in Tripoli that
sometimes to avoid bloodshed you must shed
blood, and the faster we do this, the less blood
we will shed. There has been speculation that
Gadha is seeking refuge in Sirte or one of the
other remaining regime strongholds, among
them the towns of Bani Walid or Sabha.
Gadha is now eeing and we have a
good idea where he is, Tarhouni said, without
elaborating. We dont have any doubt that we
will catch him.
Some 90 miles (150 kilometers) west of Sirte,
about a dozen armored, gun-mounted trucks
were parked at a staging ground in the desert. A
highway overpass provided some shade for
rebels, most dressed in T-shirts and camouage
pants.
Rebels say they are
closing in on Gadhafi
By Kimberly Dozier
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON Libyan leader
Moammar Gadha is on the run, his capital all
but fallen to rebels, his hometown under siege.
Now comes another difcult task for the
rebels and the civilian government they are
trying to install: capturing Gadha before the
fugitive dictator is able to mount a revenge
assault from hiding or inspire an insurgency
that could drag on for years.
Gadhas wife and three of his children ed
Libya to neighboring Algeria on Monday. But
the Obama administration said it has no indi-
cation Gadha has left the country.
As U.S. forces learned in the massive,
monthslong manhunt for Iraqi dictator
Saddam Hussein in 2003, intelligence will be
key to nding him.
Thanks to NATO and its small cadre of mil-
itary advisers on the ground in Libya, the
rebels will be able to draw on electronic clues
known as signals intelligence, ranging from
images from drones, spy planes and satellites
to stolen transmissions from radio and phones
an advantage U.S. troops did not have in
2003 in Iraq, when the use of such equipment
was in its infancy, and the intelligence not well
shared with those on the ground.
Greed also helps. Multimillion-dollar
rewards led to the capture or killing of many
of what the military calls high value targets
in Iraq, including Saddams sons Odai and
Qusai in 2003. A tipster in search of a reward
revealed their whereabouts to the CIA, and the
Armys Delta Force pounced, backed by the
101st Airborne Division. The combined forces
ultimately killed the sons in a protracted re-
ght in northern Iraq.
A Libyan businessman reportedly has
offered a $2 million reward for Gadha.
But the key to capturing Saddam turned out
to be gumshoe detective work mainly by U.S.
special operations forces, with information
gathered largely from captured suspects.
Is hunt for Gadhafi,
Saddam all over again?

NTSB members often said lacked
integrity.
NTSB Chairwoman Deborah A.P.
Hersman called the explosion and the
events that led up to it a litany of fail-
ures.
San Bruno Mayor Jim Ruane was in
Washington, D.C. for the meeting and
was not surprised by what was learned.
We were the victims, he said.
Ruane applauded the speedy work of
the NTSB which he explained is impor-
tant for all as such a tragedy could hap-
pen anywhere.
Shortly after the meetings end,
PG&E President Chris Johns released a
statement which read, the accident in
San Bruno was a tragedy and we are
deeply sorry that our pipeline was the
cause. We know that nothing we can
say nor any action we can take will ever
make up for the losses experienced by
the victims of the accident and the San
Bruno community. We will continue to
support the city of San Bruno and the
victims of the accident and their fami-
lies as they heal and rebuild.
It wasnt just PG&E that faced sharp
criticism. State and federal agencies
charged with overseeing such compa-
nies also contributed to the problem,
according to the NTSB.
The U.S. Department of
Transportation Pipeline and Hazardous
Materials Safety Administration and
California Public Utilities Commission
both previously passed rules that
allowed older pipelines to be exempted
from testing protocols now in place.
For government to do its job safe-
guard the public it cannot trust
alone, it must verify through effective
oversight, said Herman. As we saw in
San Bruno, when the approach to safe-
ty is lax, the consequences are deadly.
NTSB Investigator-in-Charge
Ravindva Chhatre explained enough
gas was released to power the city of
San Bruno for a month.
Previous incidents involving PG&E
an 81 gas line rupture in San
Francisco and a 08 explosion in
Rancho Cordova showed similar
issues with safety protocols and record
keeping. If lessons from these events
were utilized, it could have prevented
the San Bruno tragedy, said Chhatre.
San Brunos tragedy started with a
loss of power in Milpitas which made
monitoring gas pressure difficult and
allowed a spike in pressure, said
Matthew Nicholson for NTSB.
The section in question was made up
of six pups, or shorter pieces of pipe
most likely put in after the original line
was installed, said Dr. Donald Kramer
for the NTSB.
None of the six pieces meet PG&Es
standard for pipes, he said noting three
were welded only on one side. A visual
inspection at the time would have
allowed anyone to recognize this, he
said.
Even when installed, the set standard
was to weld from both the outside and
inside. As a result, the San Bruno seg-
ment of pipeline had a weld that could-
nt withstand the increased pressure.
The pipe opened on the east side, allow-
ing gas to be released and ultimately
fracturing the weld. After the explo-
sion, the segment of pipe was ejected
from the ground and found 100 feet
south of the explosion site, Kramer
said.
PG&E has two different centers
one in Concord which dispatches indi-
viduals and another in San Francisco
which oversees gas pressure. San
Franciscos location was aware of the
gas issue earlier but emergency proto-
col did not explain the role of this office
in an emergency. Without remote con-
trolled or automatic shutoff valves, it
took 95 minutes to manually shut off
the valves, said Nicholson. If such
valves had been in place, Nicholson
estimated the gas could have been
turned off about an hour before it was.
Also, PG&Es protocol did not require
employees to reach out to emergency
services about the situation.
Local elected officials were thankful
for the quick study of the event but
highly critical of PG&E.
It is now crystal clear who is at fault
in destroying the Glenview neighbor-
hood and tragically killing eight mem-
bers of our community. PG&Es fail-
ures were systemic, dating back
decades. They not only could have and
should have prevented this catastrophe,
but they had several opportunities to do
so. This is nothing short of gross negli-
gence, state Sen. Leland Yee, D-San
Francisco/San Mateo, wrote in a pre-
pared statement.
Also on Tuesday, the state Assembly
unanimously approved Yees legislation
to require gas utility companies to
install automatic and remotely-con-
trolled shutoff valves throughout
California. The bill needs a similar con-
currence vote in the Senate before
being considered by the governor.
Twenty-nine safety recommendations
were made Tuesday as a result of the
final report. These were in addition to
recommendations already made.
In June, the NTSB recommended the
Pipeline and Hazardous Materials
Safety Administration create protocol
for gas companies to work with local
emergency workers as well as require
notification by calling 911 when a
problem occurs. In addition, the NTSB
recommended PG&E require control
room operators to call 911 when a pos-
sible rupture is suspected.
In January, the National
Transportation and Safety Board
released a 77-page report which noted
structural problems in three pieces of a
30-inch pipe section of natural gas
pipeline that ruptured Sept. 9 in San
Bruno. While it didnt give a cause for
the natural gas-fueled incident, it found
that some welds in the pipeline over-
seen by PG&E did not meet standards
set when the pipeline was installed in
the 50s, let alone current requirements.
The report, which included a 13-page
narrative with many photographs,
tables and examples, found no corro-
sion in the interior or exterior of the
pipe. Originally, PG&E had indicated
the pipeline was seamless. It quickly
became apparent it had a seam. Defects
like incomplete fusion, grooves or
irregularly shaped welds were found
in numerous places on seams along the
length and width of the pipeline.
Earlier this year, the NTSB made rec-
ommendations to PG&E including
identifying all gas transmission lines
that have yet to undergo testing for safe
operating pressure. PG&E has made a
number of safety changes and is cur-
rently in the middle of hydro pressure
testing 150 miles of pipeline.
Previously, investigators had ques-
tioned whether a 2008 sewer replace-
ment project had effected the pipe.
Tuesdays report found no connection
between the project and the pipeline.

BLAST
plined by her immediate supervisor
after returning from maternity leave
and that the courts top executive did
nothing to prevent or stop the situation.
Gonzalez claims being 40 years old,
Hispanic and speaking truthfully about
her preference for anothers manage-
ment style contributed to the pattern.
The suit names Gonzalezs supervi-
sor and manager, Laura Cuellar and
Susan Maxwell, as well as Court
Executive Officer John Fitton and the
Judicial Council of California.
Gonzalez seeks reinstatement of her
job and damages based on employment
discrimination, retaliation, breach of
contract, failure to prevent discrimina-
tion, fraud and deceit and harassment.
Neither Gonzalezs attorneys,
Charles J. Katz and Elladene Lee Katz,
nor Judicial Council spokeswoman
Lynn Holton returned an inquiry for
comment.
Fitton said he is aware of the suit but
declined to comment further because
the suit is pending. An attorney has not
yet been assigned by the states
Administrative Office of the Courts.
According to the suit, Gonzalez
joined the court in April 2000 and
transferred from the traffic to criminal
divisions due to staffing cuts and shift-
ing based on seniority. She took a six-
month maternity leave following the
birth of her third child and, upon her
return in August 2009, was placed back
in the criminal division although she
worried about drastically different
policies then in place.
Cuellar and Maxwell said there were
no issues with Gonzalezs work per-
formance and left her as a lead clerk
rather than her requested regular clerk
position, the suit states.
In late 2009, Cuellar went out on
medical leave and Gonzalez appreciat-
ed her interim replacements manage-
ment style and efforts to quell depart-
ment gossip, according to the lawsuit.
When Cuellar returned in March 2010,
the suit claims Cuellar blamed
Gonzalez for problems even if she was
not responsible and did not back up her
discipline of other employees.
Gonzalez directly told Cuellar her
preference for the replacements style
but because she was honest and forth-
right in her response ... Cuellar began
singling [her] out for speaking truthful-
ly, the suit states.
Ever since, Gonzalez has been sin-
gled and treated differently by Cuellar
and Maxwell, who are both white,
because of race and the comparison,
the suit claims.
The mistreatment alleged by
Gonzalez included letters of repri-
mand, a three-day suspension for unac-
ceptable performance issues even
though other parties were responsible
and Cuellar going out of her way to
set up problems.
Meanwhile, Gonzalez claims Cuellar
escaped reprimands herself for errors
such as not marking bills received by
the court and leaving the safe open.
Gonzalez claims Cuellar misrepresent-
ed facts to set her up for either termi-
nation or forced out of a job and said
she blamed her for an incident actually
caused by a female Asian employee
who is approximately 27 years old. The
suit argues Gonzalez was singled out
because of her race and age.
As a result of the alleged harassment,
retaliation and discrimination,
Gonzalez said she became depressed,
anxious, distressed and placed on state
disability leave.
Gonzalez filed a claim with the
Judicial Council of California which
was denied in March.
A case management conference is
scheduled for Jan. 4.

SUED
WEDNESDAY, AUG. 31, 2011
Considerable improvements involving your material cir-
cumstances and position could take place during com-
ing months. Stay on top of this propitious growth cycle,
so you can make the most of what is being offered.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Even if the only steps
you can think of are minuscule, dont hesitate to take
whatever measures you can that you believe would
strengthen your fnancial position.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Stick to working with
those whom youve previously shared success with,
and youll have good chances of hitting the jackpot
again. Dealing with unknown people could produce a
different story.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- An important goal can
be reached, albeit not necessarily on your frst try. Be
prepared to shrug off disappointing early results and
regroup your forces for another sally.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Dont be indifferent
when dispensing advice to others. What is simple to
you might be quite complicated to another, so treat
the issue with the seriousness it deserves.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- An unexpected shift
in circumstances involving your work or career could
take place. Although it might not be good for some, it
should be for you.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- It would be smart to
let the other party call the shots when negotiating an
agreement. By better understanding where he or she
is coming from, you can better answer any challenge.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- By being better aware
of certain subtle benefts inherent in an endeavor
that youre presently involved in, you could be
enticed to work harder and get more out of it than
others will.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Treat everybody in a sin-
cere, thoughtful manner, because you never know who
could help you in some way that others cant. Some-
times the best aid comes from the lowliest sources.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Worthwhile develop-
ments could occur through your industriousness, so
this is not the time to slack it up. It behooves you to
put work and duty above all else.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Something youve
thought of as a dud might pay off in a manner that
will compel you to think differently about it. It pays to
keep an open mind.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- This is a good day to
roll up your sleeves and fnish all the tasks and proj-
ects youve left undone. If youre smart, youll start
with the toughest and fnish with the easiest.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You might be able to fnally
fgure out how to establish a better rapport with
someone who could make your life easier. Once you
do, mutual benefts could ensue.
