San Bruno Mayor Jim Ruane speaks in front of the Sept. 9
natural gas line explosion site in support of increased safety
measures.
By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Ensuring safety for residents comes in
the form of regulations a proposed
solution which Assemblyman Jerry Hill
and San Bruno survivors of the Sept. 9
gas explosion and fire pushed for
Tuesday.
Hill, D-San Mateo, along with about
20 survivors and Mayor Jim Ruane gath-
ered in the Glenview neighborhood
Tuesday morning to speak in support of
As s e mbl y
Bill 56, the
Natural Gas
P i p e l i n e
S a f e t y
Reform bill.
Inspired by
the 95 min-
utes it took to turn off the natural gas line
which sparked an explosion and fueled a
fatal re in the Glenview neighborhood
last year, the bill was one of a few
changes Hill mentioned at the gathering.
The bill should go before the Assembly
later this week.
Hill said the San Bruno tragedy was
put in motion years ago when Pacic
Gas and Electric Co. installed awed
pipes.
The company deliberately manipulat-
ing a lax system which, combined with
relaxed oversight, made the situation a
ticking time bomb, he said.
The bill aims to implement some of
the lessons from the tragedy.

City weighs
options for
15-acre site
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
A 15-acre site abutting Foster City Hall would turn into a
mix of senior and affordable housing, rising up to seven stories
at some points and connected through a maze of outdoor
spaces and a national organic grocer, under one plan proposed
last night.
Or, the land which was once slated for a high school could
become a mix of separate components like a specialty retail
town center with a restaurant and stage, pedestrian crossings to
an existing park, housing up to four stories and semi-public
space if the City Council prefers a different plan.
Both development proposals were presented last night
before a packed chambers to councilmembers who expressed
enthusiasm for certain elements tempered with caution.

Sustainability is a trending topic in
society today and, while most people are
aware of the issue, some may be unsure
of what they can do in their daily lives to
support the idea and make a difference
in their communities.
Sustainable San Mateo County is
holding a Chefs Challenge at Piacere
Ristorante Sept. 12. The event will be a
fundraiser for SSMC and an opportunity
for people to hear from several local
individuals who believe in and practice
sustainability in their careers. Piacere is
co-sponsoring the event with SSMC, and
executive chef Miriam Russell-Wadleigh
will make appetizers on the spot from
local food producers wares without
knowing what it will be beforehand.
Sustainable San Mateo County is an
organization that works to encourage
and implement sustainable practices in
many areas of the county, from govern-
ment to business to individual homes.
Board chair Bill Schulte said events like
the Chefs Challenge are more on the
fun side of what SSMC does, and its
intended to showcase the bounty of San
Mateo County. He hopes attendees will

Moving is rarely an easy chore so imagine
uprooting dozens of county departments with
their staff and equipment.
San Mateo County plans to do just that,
shifting departments onto new oors, new
ofces and in some cases onto an entirely new
campus as part of its long-range master plan
that includes a pair of $40 million buildings at
2 Circle Star Way, down the road from the
existing government center.
The two four-story buildings offer approxi-
mately 208,000 square feet of space on
approximately 6.04 acres. They sit on the bor-
der between San Carlos and Redwood City,
with the property line actually running
straight through an adjacent three-story park-
ing structure. The land is less than a mile from
the current county seat at 400, 455 and 500
County Government Center and includes
parking for approximately 700 vehicles inside
and outside the garage.
Although the plan is not to initially ll the
entirety of the buildings, even occupying 70
percent is a Herculean task, said Public
Works Director Jim Porter.
The draft plan is eventually turning over 400
County Government Center currently hous-
ing several county functions along with court
facilities to the state and moving ofces like
the Board of Supervisors, County Managers
Ofce and Sheriffs Ofce to entirely new
digs. The plan also calls for taking far-ung
departments like Housing and Human Services
Agency now housed in Belmont and grouping
them together at Circle Star.
If that isnt ambitious enough, the county is
also considering the construction of a com-
pletely new chambers for the Board of
Supervisors.
The last idea is low on the priority list for
board President Carole Groom.
It would be nice to have more modern
chambers for sure but I would have to see how
much money it would cost, Groom said. For
me, the priority is getting out of ofce build-
ings we pay rent on and making sure were as
efcient as possible, she said.
The boards Finance and Operations
Committee has been mulling the conceptual
plan over its past few meetings and
Wednesday afternoon will again hear an
update on how and when the move will hap-
pen. The hope had been to have at least some
departments in Circle Star by October.
However, the conceptual plan still needs to be
vetted by the remaining county supervisors
and greater details need to be eshed out by
the affected departments. Now, county staff
say winter is an unlikely target.
Spring 2012 is more realistic, Porter said.
Porter estimated needing at least six
months and likely nine months for tenant
improvements and setting up ofce furniture.
The moving portion of this is really com-
plex. Its not just picking up the people and
their les but also things like setting up phone
lines, Porter said.
The occupant list has not been nalized but
Deputy County Manager Peggy Jensen and
Porter offered a preliminary strategy at the last
committee meeting.
Currently, the plan is to move everything
out of 455 County Center aside from the data
center and its supporting IT staff to allow seis-
mic upgrades, energy efficiency improve-
ments and a remodel of Room 101 and the
adjacent rst oor area into a new multi-pur-
pose, enlarged meeting room which would
also serve as a new board chambers, emer-
gency operations center and emergency serv-
ices ofce space. The upper oors would stay
empty for future use.
The Board of Supervisors and its staff, the
County Managers Ofce and the County
Counsels Ofce would move from the exist-
ing home at 400 County Government Center
kitty-corner to the fth oor of 455 County
Center.
Circle Star would open its doors to the com-
munity services departments public works,
planning, real property, re marshal, dispatch,
LAFCo and C/CAG along with public
works and purchasing. The building would
house a one-stop permit center on the rst
oor, easing the process for residents who
would no longer have to visit multiple depart-
ments and sites.
Circle Star would also house the administra-
tive, back-of-house needs for Human Services,
the Housing Department and possible First 5
and behavioral health. VRS might even oper-
ate a cafeteria, much as it once did in the base-
ment of the Hall of Justice before budget con-
strains shuttered the vocational program.
Another one-stop center, this one for housing
and social services, will be on the rst oor.
Human Resources is one department that
knows it will move but without a denitive
location. The department is currently at 455
but will leave to allow the upgrades. It could
go to Circle Star or elsewhere at county cen-
ter.
Despite the hefty price tag for Circle Star
and challenge of moving people once, county
ofcials say the move is nancially prudent in
the long run. The departments outside the
county center, like those on Harbor Boulevard
in Belmont and Alameda de las Pulgas in San
Mateo, rack up costly lease bills.
In January, the Board of Supervisors unani-
mously agreed to shell out $39.5 million for
the buildings plus another $700,000 in associ-
ated costs. At the time, the countys real estate
manager Steve Alms said owning rather than
leasing provides greater exibility in our real
estate decisions in general.
Alms also pointed to taking advantage of
the currently depressed market.
Primarily, the deal will free the county from
paying between $191,000 and $600,000 a
month for its various leases.
The Finance and Operations Committee
meets 2 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 7
in the Board Conference Room, Ofce of the
Board of Supervisors, First Floor, 400 County
Government Center.

Bill halting local
circumcision bans goes to Brown
SACRAMENTO The Legislature has
approved a bill preventing local jurisdictions
from banning male circumcision, a measure
written in response to ballot measure pro-
posed in San Francisco.
Supporters of the San Francisco measure
tried to ban the practice for most males under
age 18, but it later blocked by a judge.
The author of AB768, Democratic
Assemblyman Mike Gatto of Los Angeles,
says the practice has cultural and health ben-
efits and should require statewide rules.
Challengers say it is an unnecessary sur-
gery that may lead to sexual and health prob-
lems later in life. Advocates say circumcision
is an important religious practice for many
Jews and Muslims and can reduce the risk of
cancer and sexually transmitted diseases.
The Assembly passed amendments made
to the bill Tuesday. It now heads to the gov-
ernor.
Lawmakers pass bill
banning BPA in baby products
SACRAMENTO A bill that would ban
the chemical bisphenol A from plastic baby
bottles or cups has been passed by the
Legislature.
The bills author, Democratic
Assemblywoman Betsy Butler of Marina del
Rey, said Tuesday that AB1319 will help
reduce an infants exposure to a chemical
that studies show can be harmful to a childs
development.
Butler says the chemical, commonly
known as BPA, can leach into a childs
milk or food from plastic containers.
Supporters say containers without the
chemicals are available and that other
states, including New York and
Massachusetts, have enacted similar bans.
Opponents say the measure could expose
companies to lawsuits if traces of the chemi-
cal are found in baby products. The bill now
heads to the governor.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO Lawmakers
have passed a bill making it easier for
the 70 California state parks threat-
ened with closure next year to work
with nonprofit organizations and
remain open.
Amendments made to AB42 by
Democratic Assemblyman Jared
Huffman of San Rafael unanimously
passed the Assembly Tuesday. The
bill now heads to the governor.
Huffman says the measure is not
intended to be a silver bullet to
save the parks but will simplify the
process of creat-
ing an operating
a g r e e m e n t
between parks
and nonprots.
Opponents say
it takes valuable
resources out of
the states hands
while failing to
protect state jobs.
Supporters say the bill can help
minimize the number of parks that
will have to close after the
Legislature cut $33 million to the
parks budget in March.
Bill letting nonprofits run
parks heads to Gov. Brown
By Don Thompson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO Californias
Legislature sent Gov. Jerry Brown a
bill seeking to ban the sale, trade or
possession of shark ns on Tuesday,
over the objections of two senators
who called the measure racist
because the ns are used in a soup
considered a delicacy in some Asian
cultures.
The bill has split the Asian dele-
gation in the Legislature. It was
introduced by Assemblyman Paul
Fong, D-Cupertino, and was sup-
ported by Sen. Carol Liu, D-
Pasadena, who said it is needed to
protect endangered shark species.
Others disagreed. Sen. Ted Lieu,
D-Torrance, noted that the bill
would ban only part of the shark
while permitting the continued con-
sumption of shark skin or steaks.
This bill goes out of its way to be
discriminatory, Lieu said. They
single out one cultural practice.
Critics of the practice, which
already is restricted in U.S. waters,
estimate that shermen kill 73 mil-
lion sharks each year for their ns.
They said it is particularly cruel
because the wounded sharks often
are returned to the ocean to die after
their ns are removed.
The fins can sell for $600 a
pound, and the soup can cost $80 a
bowl.
Sen. Christine Kehoe, D-San
Diego, who carried AB376 in the
Senate, said California has the high-
est demand for the ns outside Asia.
She cited estimates that 85 percent
of dried shark n imports to the
United States come through
California, giving the bill an impact

MILLBRAE
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

Can Get the Facts Wrong

SACRAMENTO Supporters
of a bill that would force some
Internet retailers to begin collecting
sales taxes immediately pressed
lawmakers on Tuesday to pass the
measure before the end of the ses-
sion this week.
Gov. Jerry Brown signed a bill as
part of this years budget to expand
tax collection by Internet retailers
effective July 1, but Amazon.com
has spent more than $5 million
toward a 2012 ballot referendum to
overturn it.
If approved, the bill under consid-
eration this week could not be over-
turned by voters because it would
be considered an urgency measure.
A rst set of attempts to win
approval of the bill in the California
Senate Tuesday afternoon stalled
22-12 with no Republican support
and senators from both parties not
voting. The bill needs 27 votes for
approval. It can be considered again
later this week.
Democratic lawmakers and retail
businesses that support the new bill,
AB155, say Amazon is trying to
undermine the legislation with a
proposal to add 7,000 California
jobs at new distribution centers if
the online sales tax law is delayed
for at least two years.
Speaker of the Assembly John
Perez, a Los Angeles Democrat,
said Amazon and other Internet
retailers kill thousands of
California-based jobs each year by
unfairly undercutting local busi-
nesses on price because they dont
charge the tax.
In the urry of legislative activity
in the last week of the session, Perez
said, California will not sacrice
real jobs for phantom promises.
Amazon has proposed adding a
total of nearly 22,000 jobs in six
states that have stepped up tax col-
lection efforts, which would amount
to roughly a two-thirds increase in
its worldwide workforce of about
38,000, said Bill Dombrowski,
president of the California Retailers
Association.
The job numbers appear to be
nothing but ction, Dombrowski
said. The retailer group paid for a
full-page advertisement Tuesday in
The Sacramento Bee newspaper
urging approval of AB155.
Amazon has been pushing for a
major expansion of its distribution
network, adding at least 15 distribu-
tion centers as part of an effort to
speed deliveries to customers.
Because of that planned expan-
sion, Amazon might well have
added distribution centers in the
huge California market even with-
out a delay on tax collection, said

Lawmakers: Strengthen Internet tax law
By Elliot Spagat
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN DIEGO Gov. Jerry
Brown said Tuesday that he was
optimistic that lawmakers will agree
this week to end a tax break for
companies based outside the state,
signaling he was willing to modify
his proposal in an effort to stop what
he called a toxic loophole.
The Democratic governor said
some Republican lawmakers
already support the plan and that
they were working to persuade oth-
ers in the party.
I dont want to count the chick-
ens before theyre hatched, but there
is a lot of cackling going on, so that
bodes well, Brown told employees
at the San Diego headquarters of
Gen-Probe Inc., a medical diagnos-
tics maker.
The governor is asking lawmak-
ers to change a tax formula passed
in 2009 that beneted large, out-of-
state corporations. He wants compa-
nies to pay taxes based solely on
sales of their goods and services.
Currently, they can choose to pay
taxes based partly on how many
employees and how much property
they have in California.
Its toxic because it rewards
companies for creating jobs not in
California but somewhere else,
Brown said.
Brown faces a tight deadline, with
lawmakers going on recess Friday
until January. He said he was enter-
taining proposals from Republican
lawmakers in an effort to pick up
votes.
I assume Republicans are going
to want to create as many jobs as
they can, so whatever they come up
with, Im sure itll be good, he said.
GOP leaders criticized the pro-
posal when Brown unveiled it last
week, casting it as a business tax
increase. They said the Legislature
should focus on reducing regula-
tions and frivolous lawsuits, as well
as lowering public pension burden
on taxpayers.
It still appears to be an attack on
one set of job creators to benet a
different set of job creators, and that
simply doesnt make sense, Senate
Minority Leader Bob Dutton, R-
Rancho Cucamonga, said in a state-
ment Tuesday.

Court mulling
appeal rights of
Prop. 8 backers
By Lisa Leff
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO
Californias same-sex marriage ban
endured its
latest legal
test Tuesday
as the states
high court
grilled attor-
neys on
whether Proposition 8s backers
have legal authority to appeal a fed-
eral ruling that overturned the voter-
approved measure.
The tenor of the justices question-
ing during the more than hour-long
hearing often leaned in favor of argu-
ments by backers of the ban, who
argue that the state Constitution
gives ballot initiative proponents
legal authority to defend their meas-
ures in court.
On that critical question, several
justices noted that the California
Supreme Court always has, as a mat-
ter of practice if not written policy,
allowed the sponsors of ballot ques-
tions to appear before it when their
measures were challenged.
Never in any recorded (case) have
proponents been denied the right to
advance their interests, Associate
Justice Kathryn Werdegar noted dur-
ing the closely watched arguments.

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:

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

Mail thief arrested
Mail from as many as 25 Belmont resi-
dences was found stolen in the car of an
Oakland man who was arrested Tuesday
because of an alert resident who called 911,
according to Belmont police.
At approximately 9:10 a.m., Belmont police
received a call from a resident on the 2800
block of Monte Cresta Drive who said they
just interrupted someone taking mail from a
mailbox.
Police arrested Jabari Holder, 30, was
arrested without incident as he entered east-
bound State Route 92 from Ralston Avenue.
Holder was booked into the San Mateo
County Jail in Redwood City for theft and
possession of stolen property, according to
police.
In the car was mail from mailboxes on
Monte Cresta Drive, Plateau Drive, Lower
Lock Avenue, Belmont Canyon Road,
Hillcrest Drive, Upper Lock Avenue and
Reposo Way. Approximately half of the mail
recovered from Holders vehicle was not post-
marked and had been put out by residents for
collection, according to police.
Residents should never put out-going mail
in their mailbox for pick-up, but should use
ofcial U.S. Postal Service mailboxes or go to
the Post Ofce to send mail, according to
police. Also residents should consider getting
a locking mailbox that prevents thieves from
taking mail out, police said.
Supervisor Wiener introduces
public nudity legislation
Public nudists in San Francisco will face
some restrictions if legislation introduced
Tuesday by Supervisor Scott Wiener is
approved.
Wieners legislation, proposed at yesterday
afternoons board meeting, would require
those going naked to cover public seating
before sitting down and put on clothes before
entering restaurants.
He said the idea for the ordinance came
after he received numerous constituent com-
plaints and saw some of the unsanitary behav-
ior himself particularly in Jane Warner
Plaza and elsewhere in the Castro, which is
part of Wieners district.
One would hope we wouldnt need to leg-
islate this, but people arent doing it, he said.
Before Tuesdays meeting, Wiener empha-
sized that the legislation is not banning public
nudity, but is simply maintaining public health
standards. He said his ofce has not received
any complaints from local nudist groups about
the proposal.
Wiener acknowledged that the legislation
could be the butt of jokes as an only in San
Francisco proposal with the added punch
line that his last name is a slang term for the
male genitalia.
Theyll say what theyre going to say, he
said. I look forward to the conversation about
this legislation.

NORTH LAS VEGAS, Nev. Casting
himself as Americas CEO, Republican presi-
dential hopeful Mitt Romney on Tuesday out-
lined a sweeping economic plan that would
reduce regulations and taxes on companies,
sanction China over its currency practices and
weaken the clout of labor unions.
Trying to hold off surging rival Rick Perry,
Romney traveled to economically suffering
Nevada and stood inside a giant truck ware-
house to deliver his multi-point plan designed
to position him as the GOP contender with the
most comprehensive approach to xing the
economy.
This is a business plan for America,
Romney told supporters as he promoted his
plan as one designed to modernize an econo-
my he says is still oriented toward earlier
decades and held up General Electric CEO
Jack Welch and former Apple CEO Steve Jobs
as real deal leaders in the U.S. economy.
Its a version of the economic pitch Romney
has been making throughout the campaign so
far but its now been sharpened to highlight
how his private-sector record contrasts with
Perry, the Texas governor, who has held elect-
ed ofce for more than two
decades. In his speech
Tuesday, Romney barely
mentioned his own four
years as governor of
Massachusetts.
Perrys campaign
sharply criticized Romney
immediately after the
address. As governor of
Massachusetts, Mitt
Romney failed to create a pro-jobs environ-
ment, Perry spokesman Mark Miner said in a
statement. When Romney was governor,
Massachusetts ranked 47th out of 50 in job
creation.
Romneys plan calls for reducing or elimi-
nating several taxes, extracting more U.S. oil,
coal and natural gas, expanding trade pacts
and slashing federal spending. His campaign
distributed the 160-page booklet, and Romney
explained it in an at-times rambling speech
delivered without prepared text or a
teleprompter.
Democrats called Romneys plan wrong-
headed and doomed to fail. Taxes already are
near historic lows, they noted, and many
employers say weak consumer demand is
more troubling than taxes or regulation.

BASTROP, Texas One of the most dev-
astating wildre outbreaks in Texas history
left more than 1,000 homes in ruins Tuesday
and stretched the states reghting ranks to
the limit, confronting Gov. Rick Perry with a
major disaster at home just as the GOP presi-
dential contest heats up.
More than 180 res have erupted in the past
week across the rain-starved Lone Star State,
and nearly 600 of the homes destroyed since
then were lost in one catastrophic blaze in and
around Bastrop, near Austin, that raged out of
control Tuesday for a third day.
Whipped into an inferno by Tropical Storm
Lees winds over the weekend, the blaze
burned more than 45 square miles, forced the
evacuation of thousands and killed at least two
people, bringing the overall death toll from the
outbreak to at least four.
We lost everything, said Willie Clements,
whose two-story colonial home in a housing
development near Bastrop was reduced to a
heap of metal roong and ash. A picket fence
was melted. Some goats and turkeys survived,
but about 20 chickens and ducks were burned
to death in a coop that went up in ames.
On Tuesday, Clements and his family took a
picture of themselves in front of a windmill
adorned with a charred red, white and blue
sign that proclaimed, United We Stand.
This is the beginning of our new family
album, the 51-year-old Clements said.
Perry cut short a presidential campaign trip
to South Carolina to deal with the crisis. On
Tuesday, he toured a blackened area near
Bastrop, which is about 25 miles from Austin.
Pretty powerful visuals of individuals who
lost everything, he said. The magnitude of
these losses are pretty stunning.
The governor would not say whether he
would take part in Wednesday evenings
Republican presidential debate in California,
explaining that he was substantially more
concerned about making sure Texans are
being taken care of. But campaign
spokesman Mark Miner said in an email later
in the day that Perry planned to be there.
Perry, a tea-party favorite who has made a
career out of railing against government
spending, said he expects federal assistance
with the wildres, and he complained that red
tape was keeping bulldozers and other heavy
equipment at the Armys Fort Hood, 75 miles
from Bastrop, from being putting to use. Fort

WASHINGTON Postmaster General
Patrick Donahoe warned that the Postal
Service is on the brink of default as he bat-
tles to keep his agency solvent.
Without legislation by Sept. 30, the agency
will default on a mandated $5.5 billion pay-
ment to the Treasury, Donahoe told the Senate
Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs
Committee on Tuesday.
And with no congressional action, a year
from now, next August or September, the post
ofce could run out of money to pay salaries
and contractors, hampering its ability to oper-
ate, Donahoe said.
We do not want taxpayer money, Donahoe
said, We have got to get our nances in
order.
Committee Chairman Joe Lieberman, I-
Conn., said: We must act quickly. The U.S.
Postal Service is not an 18th century relic, it is
a 21st century national asset, but times are
changing rapidly now and so, too, must the
post ofce.
Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, noted that the
post ofce supports a $1.1 trillion mailing
industry employing more than 8 million people
in direct mail, periodicals, catalogs, nancial
services and other businesses.
Sen. Tom Carper, D-Del., noted several pro-
posals have been put forward to improve postal
operations and said that Congress needs to
work on areas where agreement can be found.
Both Carper and Collins have introduced bills
to reform postal operations, and measures have
also been introduced in the House.
Donahoe and his predecessor John Potter
have warned for months that without changes
in the law governing postal operations the
Postal Service will be unable to make advance
payments to cover future retiree medical bene-
ts.
Staggered by the economic downturn and
the massive shift from rst-class mail to email,
the post ofce lost more than $8 billion last
year and is facing losses at least that large this
year, despite having cut 110,000 jobs over the
last four years and making other changes,
including closing smaller, local post ofces.
The Postal Service, which does not receive
tax money for its operations, is not seeking
federal funds.
Instead, postal ofcials want changes in the
way they operate, including relief from the
requirement that it prefund medical costs. No
other federal agency has to prefund retiree
health benets, but because of the way the fed-
eral budget is organized the money counts as
income to the government, so eliminating it
would make the federal decit appear larger.
When Congress restructured postal opera-
tions in 2006 it ordered the agency to establish
a separate fund to begin covering those bene-
ts, instead of using money for the post ofces
general fund, starting in 2017, and to make
annual advance payments to that account. The
payment due Sept. 30 would be $5.5 billion.
Also, the post ofce wants to reduce mail
delivery to five days-a-week; close 3,700
ofces, further cut the workforce by up to
220,000; and to withdraw from federal retire-
ment systems and set up its own. It also seeks
the return of $6.9 billion it overpaid into retire-
ment funds.

changing rapidly now and so,
too, must the post ofce.

CARSON CITY, Nev. A gunman wield-
ing an AK-47 opened re on a table of uni-
formed National Guard members at an IHOP
restaurant on Tuesday in an outburst of vio-
lence that killed four people, wounded eight
others and put Nevadas capital city on high
alert as the shooter unloaded his assault rie in
a bustling business district.
The shooters motive was unclear, but fami-
ly members said he had mental issues. He had
never been in the military and had no known
afliation with anyone inside the restaurant.
Five Nevada National Guard troops sitting
together at the back of the restaurant were shot
two of them fatally. Another woman was
also killed, and the gunman, 32-year-old
Eduardo Sencion of Carson City, shot himself
in the head and died at a hospital.
Witnesses and authorities described a fran-
tic scene, in which the shooter pulled into the
large complex of retail stores and shops just
before 9 a.m. in a blue minivan with a yellow
Support Our Troops sticker on the back. He
got out and immediately shot a woman by a
motorcycle, a witness said.
Ralph Swagler said he grabbed his own
weapon, but said it was too late to stop the
shooter, who charged into the IHOP through
the front doors.
I wish I had shot at him when he was going
in the IHOP, said Swagler, who owns Locals
BBQ & Grill. But when he came at me, when
somebody is pointing an automatic weapon at
you you cant believe the repower, the
kind of rounds coming out of that weapon.
The gunman went all the way to the back of
the restaurant to the back area and opened re,
Carson City Sheriff Kenny Furlong said.
When he left the restaurant, he stood in the
parking lot and shot into the nearby business-
es, shattering the windows of a barbecue
restaurant and an H&R Block and a casino
across the street.
Ofcers arrived minutes later and found the
suspect and the person who was by the motor-
cycle wounded and lying in the parking lot.
The names of the victims, including two male
Guard members who were killed, were not
immediately released.
Sencion left two more guns in the van a
rie and a pistol, authorities said.
As the attack unfolded, Nevada ofcials
worried about the violence being more wide-
spread. They locked down the state Capitol
and Supreme Court buildings for about 40
minutes, and put extra security in place at state
and military buildings in northern Nevada.
There were concerns at the onset, so we
took certain steps to ensure we had the capa-
bility to embrace an even larger circum-
stance, Furlong said.

Cargill project is too much traffic
Editor,
According to Redwood City staff, the
Cargill development could add up to
7,000 vehicles during peak commute
times.
Does anyone currently drive on
Highway 101 during peak commute
times? Highway 101 is crowded even
during non-peak times. Just imagine
Highway 101 with all these additional
vehicles.
Plus, how many spare the air days
do we have now? What would be the
impact of these thousands of additional
commuters, who travel twice daily, on
our Bay Area air quality?
These are just some quality of life
questions I hope everyone is considering.

Response to article of Sept. 1
Editor,
Regarding the article Cab driver set-
tles inappropriate touching case in the
Sept. 1 edition of the Daily Journal,
Serra Yellow Cab would like its cus-
tomers and the residents of San Mateo
County to know that safety and customer
service are and always have been its sin-
gle biggest priority. To that end, our
company has in place screening practices
as well as safety policies and procedures
which are among the most stringent in
the industry.
Every person who enters into a con-
tract to operate a taxi cab or handicapped
accessible van with Serra Yellow Cab is
subject to a criminal background check
and driving record review by the local
police authorities, drug testing by an
independent laboratory and employment
history review.
Additionally, many drivers obtain cer-
tication in special paratransit sensitivity
service training for working with persons
with disabilities. Our company has made
a substantial investment in in-taxi cam-
eras and GPS location technology for
each taxi cab we operate. These cameras
are presently being installed into para-
transit vans.
We want our customers and members
of the community to know that Serra
Yellow Cab does not tolerate any devia-
tion from company policies concerning
customer safety and comfort. Any viola-
tion of these policies when reported to
our company and conrmed through
investigation is grounds for termination
of a drivers contract.

9/11 anniversary
Editor,
The 10th anniversary of the terrorist
attacks of 9/11 provides an opportunity
to pause, reect, look back and look
ahead.
In looking back, one recalls the confu-
sion, disbelief and profound shock of
that horric day as well as the seless
courage of the rst responders (the New
York remen will forever be heroes) and
the reassuring presence of President
Bush at ground zero.
In looking ahead, we must now hon-
estly ask ourselves what is truly impor-
tant and meaningful in our own lives and
also ask how, through our own individual
actions, we can honor the hopes and
dreams of the many innocent lives which
were lost a decade ago. In their memory,
may we renew our resolve to make this
day and every day a better day for all.

Editor,
The presidents want of courage
knows no bounds. I rebuild a little hope,
and he clobbers me again. Now he has
dumped the new air-pollution rules
(Obama yields on smog rule published
in the Sept. 3 edition of the Daily
Journal).
I may sit out the 2012 election. We
could just turn the election over to the
Republicans and the Koch brothers. A
horrible century is likely coming any-
way. My granddaughter, as well as Sasha
and Malia (President Obamas daugh-
ters), will be trying to survive those com-
ing years.
This man will not even ght for his
own childrens and our grandchildrens
future.

T
hose in the Sequoia Union
High School District have the
benet this election of choos-
ing from ve high-quality candidates
for three seats on the Board of Trustees.
The incumbents have done an
admirable job of contending with a host
of complicated issues from dwindling
nances to communication across a
wide spectrum of residents and their
concerns. The achievement gap and
meeting the divergent needs of all stu-
dents has been an ongoing issue for the
board and the districts leadership.
Progress is being made, but more cre-
ativity and hands-on leadership is war-
ranted and indeed, necessary.
It is those qualities that candidate
Carrie Du Bois embodies. As an elected
member of the San Carlos Elementary
School District since 2006, she has
assisted the district through challenges
such as dwindling state revenue and has
been supportive of creative ways to not
only raise revenue but raise community
funding. The district is made up of
nearly all charter schools and presents a
unique set of challenges. Understanding
those challenges will only benet the
Sequoia Union High School District as
it continues to participate in the charter
school discussion. In addition, Du Bois
saw a need for more outreach to the
East Palo Alto community and founded
the Ravenswood and Sequoia
Community Building Dinner Project
and researched ways to include the
underrepresented community in mutual-
ly benecial discussions. That was not
homework for an upcoming election,
but rather part of a lifelong mission of
community service and team building
through trust, communication and par-
ticipation. That passion and focus can
only serve the entire district well.
Larry Moody and Allen Weiner are
also high-quality candidates that bring a
unique perspective to the election.
Moody lives in East Palo Alto, has a
wealth of community experience and
has dedicated himself to making deci-
sions based solely on their merits as
they relate to the student community.
Weiner brings an analytical mind to the
campaign in addition to a willingness to
take on tough decisions particularly
the potential of cuts to salaries. Either
would be a solid choice for this board.
However, this election only allows
for three choices. Incumbents Olivia G.
Martinez and Lorraine Rumley have
done a good job on the board and bring
a wealth of experience and know-how.
With the district in a transitional period
with a new superintendent and two
other relatively new board members,
the continuity of Martinez and Rumley
on the board will serve its schools well.
There is also a matter of civility. The
board and its members have been
known to disagree on issues, but are
known to be respectful of each other
and the community in their disagree-
ment. That sense of civility is important
as the district moves forward through
the potential for additional difcult
budget choices and continued work to
bridge the achievement gap, address the
needs of all students and communicate
well with each other and the districts
wide-ranging constituency.
Du Bois, Martinez and Rumley for SUHSD board
Looking out
for each other
A
fter years of living without an inclusive moral
vision for our country, we have to remind the
American people that we are a republic built
on responsibilities to each other, not just to ourselves.
Arianna Hufngton, Fanatics
and Fools.
When my children were
young, our neighborhood was
active and lively all day. Stay-at-
home mothers (most of us) kept
our eyes and ears open as the
kids played. Many school chil-
dren came home for lunch and
walked home after school. We
moms had time to volunteer at
school and take part in commu-
nity activities and interact during
the day. That was how we
looked after one another. We
could do this because our schools were thriving, unemploy-
ment was low, labor unions were strong, most employers
provided health insurance, the majority of jobs were secure
and, in most cases, it took only one breadwinner to be able
to purchase a home and provide for the family.
Now most neighborhoods have changed, and we must
look out for a much wider community, including our good
old USA, because we cant always depend upon the govern-
ment to have our best interest at heart. Sen. Robert C. Byrd
understood this in 2004 when he wrote in his book, Losing
America: In spite of the fact that Bush had a campaign
promising to be a unier and not a divider, the rst Bush
budget made good on the presidents mission to deliver to
his big contributors. That would be the vision of the future.
Amass power, award friends, all the rest was window dress-
ing.
We Americans are drifting apart materially, idealistically,
socially and ideologically as were becoming more egocen-
tric and self-centered. Getting mine seems to be the
mantra of our time and to heck with anyone else. But it
is especially important now that we come together to not
only look out for our neighborhood and community, but to
work to reclaim all that we are losing and for so long have
taken for granted. Trouble is, as Barbara Kingsolver wrote
in Small Wonder: We desperately avoid looking at the
truth square on, much less saying it aloud, because its
uncomfortable for us to go about our days in relative luxury
while people next door are dying for lack of shelter.
As we look out for each other, we need to demand,
among other things, that most employers respect their
employees by providing full-time, stable jobs that provide a
living wage plus benets. We will see that our schools are
funded adequately and college fees are within reach of all
who qualify. We will ensure that our police and re depart-
ments are able to operate at full effectiveness in case of dis-
aster. We will demand that everyone is provided affordable
health care and that the environment is respected and pre-
served. We will also see that the unfortunate get the help
they need.
For this to come about, we who enjoy so many comforts
will have to slow down and tune in on whats going on
around us. We must see beyond ourselves and decide whats
best for all and act accordingly. We will have to give up the
idea that we have a right to obscenely accumulate materially
while others are hungry and homeless. We will practice
humility, which seems, in many cases, to be sadly lacking.
We must believe that the needs of others are as important as
our own. Garrison Keillor couldnt have said it better in his
book, Homegrown Democrat when he wrote, if lower
taxes are your priority over human life, then we know what
sort of person you are.
As we have become increasingly narcissistic and hedonis-
tic, we must realize how our culture has encouraged this. As
we are being manipulated and exploited big time by corpo-
rations and politicians who are beholden to them, the United
States is becoming just a vestige of its former egalitarian
self. Corporate interests are increasingly taking over govern-
ment in ways that are not conducive to our health and wel-
fare.
For a while after the horrible tragedy of 9/11/01, many of
us behaved more civilly toward each other, became more
generous of heart, more involved with each other, a little
more aware of worthwhile priorities all important quali-
ties of a civilized society from which we had strayed over
previous decades. But how soon we forgot! How soon we
returned to our self-obsessed ways. Of course, well never
return to life like it was in the 60s, but we still need to real-
ize that were all in this together and look out for each other
so that liberty and justice for all really means something.
No man is an island entire of itself; every man is a piece
of the continent, a part of the main. John Donne.

NEW YORK Europes debt prob-
lems rumbled through global nancial
markets again Tuesday.
U.S. stocks fell sharply in early trad-
ing when it appeared that European mar-
kets were heading for a second straight
day of deep losses. The Dow Jones
industrial average lost as many as 307
points by 10:45 a.m. Late-day recoveries
in both the U.S. and Europe left indexes
with relatively modest losses. The Dow
ended down 101 points.
Its becoming a pattern that the U.S.
market breathes a sign of relief once
trading in Europe is finished, said
Quincy Krosby, market strategist at
Prudential Financial.
Europes debt problems, which have
simmered for more than a year, are deep-
ening. Bailouts for Ireland and Greece
have not quelled fears that either country
will default on its loans, an event that
could lead to the collapse of the euro.
The concerns about Europe and the
US economy bolstered the prices of
assets that traders see as more likely to
hold their value during a weak economy.
The yield on the 10-year Treasury note
fell to 1.97 percent, one of the lowest
rates since the Federal Reserve Bank of
St. Louis began keeping daily records in
1962.
Low interest rates mean that large
companies are able to borrow money at
some of the lowest rates on record.
Consumers, too, as have beneted from
lower rates on mortgages, private student
loans and other kinds of debt. However
retirees, savers and others who rely on
some kinds of interest income are now
earning less.
The Stoxx 600 Europe index lost 4.1
percent Monday, while U.S. markets
were closed for Labor Day, as traders
worried that Europes debt problems
could slow economic growth around the
world. Italy was hit by a general strike
Tuesday ahead of votes this week on a
budget-cutting package needed to shore
up that countrys nances.
Peter Boockvar, equity strategist at
Miller Tabak & Co., said investors are
becoming more fearful that the Greek
government may not pay bond investors
back. Ofcials are coming to the real-
ization that theres no way Greece can
pay its money back and maybe were
better off just letting it default, he said.

SAN FRANCISCO Online coupon
seller Groupon Inc. may delay its plans to
go public due to concerns about the stock
markets stability, according to a report.
Citing an unnamed source who is
familiar with the matter, a Tuesday story
in The Wall Street Journal reported that
the company called off its roadshow and
is reconsidering when to go through with
its initial public offering on a week by
week basis.
The source said Groupon had planned
an investor roadshow for next week and
expected to price its stock in the middle
of the month.
The source added Groupon was ques-
tioned by the Securities and Exchange
Commission about a memo CEO Andrew
Mason recently sent to employees, which
was leaked to media late last month. The
SEC imposes a quiet period on compa-
nies before an IPO, limiting what they
can say publicly.
The memo spoke positively about
Groupon and defended its use of an
unusual accounting metric in its IPO reg-
istration documents that strips out the
sites large marketing and subscriber-
acquisition costs. Following regulatory
scrutiny, the company amended its IPO
ling in August to remove the metric,
called adjusted consolidated segment
operating income, or ACSOI. SEC
spokesman Kevin Callahan had no com-
ment. Chicago-based Groupon did not
return multiple requests for comment.
Groupon, which offers consumers daily
discounts targeted toward their city and
preferences, took the rst step toward
going public in June when it led IPO
registration papers with the SEC. The
company said it hoped to raise up to $750
million in the IPO, but that gure often
changes as investment bankers get a bet-
ter idea of the demand for the stock.
Venture capitalists and other investors
already have poured $1.1 billion into the
company, a rather large sum for a service
founded just 2 1/2 years ago by Mason
and Eric Lefkofsky. Groupon started as a
side project to another website called The
Point that helped raise funds for various
causes.
Mason, 30, remains Groupons CEO
and one its largest stockholders with
more than 23 million shares.
Back in October 1996, Wired
Magazine abruptly canceled its own IPO,
blaming adverse market conditions in
an SEC ling. Investor demand for the
stock was cool, and before killing the
offering Wired had cut the proposed price
of its stock by 25 percent.

SAN FRANCISCO Carol Bartz
was red Tuesday as Yahoo Inc.s CEO
nearly three years into a tenure in which
the company fell short of the turnaround
she was charged with leading.
The company said Bartz will be
replaced by Chief Financial officer
Timothy Morse on an interim basis. The
company plans to search for a permanent
replacement for Bartz.
Bartz, 63, has had a rocky tenure at
Yahoo since she was appointed CEO in
January 2009. Most recently, Yahoo set-
tled a dispute surrounding a Chinese
payment service
called Alipay in a
way that ended up
diminishing Yahoos
stake in the company.
Bartz was hired in
January 2009 to engi-
neer a turnaround
after Yahoo fell fur-
ther behind Internet
search leader Google
Inc. under its two previous CEOs, its co-
founder Jerry Yang and former movie
studio boss Terry Semel.
Yahoo made more money under Bartz
because of layoffs, service closures and
other cost-cutting moves since her
arrival.
Google, though, has gotten even
stronger in the past two years while
Facebook, the owner of the Webs most
popular hangout, has emerged as a for-
midable threat thats attracting more of
the major marketing campaigns that
once went to Yahoo.
The departure was rst reported by the
Wall Street Journals All Things D tech-
nology blog.
Yahoo shares jumped 74 cents, or 5.7
percent, to $13.65 in after-hours trading.
Thats about 12 percent higher than they
were when Bartz was named CEO.

NEW YORK A California solar
panel manufacturer that received more
than a half-billion dollars in govern-
ment loan guarantees filed for Chapter
11 bankruptcy Tuesday and plans to
seek a buyer for the company.
Solyndra LLC, based in Fremont,
Calif., becomes the latest in a series of
failures in the U.S. solar business,
which has been beset by oversupply
and competition from abroad.
The company, which makes unique
solar tubes that can soak up sunlight
from many different angles, has strug-
gled recently to raise capital as the
economy soured. Investors turned away
from solar companies as profit margins
were squeezed by declining prices for
solar wafers and rising supplies.
Experts also expressed doubt about the
future of government incentive pro-
grams. Solyndra owes $783.8 million,
including loans of $527.8 million to the
federal government, according to docu-
ments filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy
Court in Delaware.
Solyndra said in its filing that it
would look for a suitor to buy the entire
company out of bankruptcy, and if it
couldnt, it would liquidate its assets
piecemeal to pay creditors.

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.

WASHINGTON The economy weak and
the public seething, President Barack Obama is
expected to propose $300 billion in tax cuts and
federal spending Thursday night to get
Americans working again. Republicans offered
Tuesday to compromise with him on jobs but
also assailed his plans in advance of his prime-
time speech.
In effect, Obama will be hitting cleanup on a
shortened holiday week, with Republican White
House contender Mitt Romney releasing his
jobs proposals on Tuesday and front-running
Texas Gov. Rick Perry hoping to join his presi-
dential rivals Wednesday evening on a national-
ly televised debate stage for the rst time.
Lawmakers began returning to the Capitol to
tackle legislation on jobs and federal decits in
an unforgiving political season spiced by the
2012 presidential campaign.
Adding to the mix: A bipartisan congression-
al committee is slated to hold its rst public
meeting on Thursday as it embarks on a quest
for decit cuts of $1.2 trillion or more over a
decade. If there is no agreement, automatic
spending cuts will take effect, a prospect that
lawmakers in both parties have said they would
like to avoid. According to people familiar with
the White House deliberations, two of the
biggest measures in the presidents proposals
for 2012 are expected to be a one-year extension
of a payroll tax cut for workers and an extension
of expiring jobless benets. Together those two
would total about $170 billion.
The people spoke on the condition of
anonymity because the plan was still being
nalized and some proposals could still be sub-
ject to change. The White House is also consid-
ering a tax credit for businesses that hire the
unemployed. That could cost about $30 billion.
Obama has also called for public works proj-
ects, such as school construction. Advocates of
that plan have called for spending of $50 billion,
but the White House proposal is expected to be
smaller.
Obama to propose $300B for jobs Hawaiian to offer San
Jose-Maui service in 2012
HONOLULU Hawaiian Airlines is
launching its rst nonstop ights between San
Jose and Maui.
The airline announced Tuesday the expand-
ed Bay Area service is to start January 2012.
Hawaiian Flight 46 is to depart Mauis
Kahului Airport on Tuesdays, Thursdays and
Saturdays at 1:25 p.m. and arrive at Mineta
San Jose International Airport at 8:25 p.m.
Return Flight 45 is to depart San Jose on
Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays at 8:10
a.m. and arrive on Maui at 11:45 a.m.
Hawaiian is offering an introductory round-
trip fare of $298.40 plus fees for travel

be purchased by Sept. 14.
Man accused of threatening
Google executive via Twitter
SAN FRANCISCO A federal grand jury
in San Francisco has charged a San Antonio
man with harassing a high-ranking Google
executive with more than 20,000 Twitter
posts, some of which were threatening.
According to court records, Gregory Calvin
King was arrested in Texas last month and
transported to San Francisco to face charges
he threatened Google vice president Marissa
Mayer, the companys rst female engineer.
The indictment identied the alleged victim
only as M.M. but Kings Twitter account
shows him sending thousands of threatening
posts to Mayer.
Fairchild Semi trims 3Q outlook
SAN JOSE Chip maker Fairchild
Semiconductor International Inc. on Tuesday
cut its forecast for this quarters sales, saying
the usual seasonal sales increase has failed to
materialize. Its shares tumbled more than 5
percent in early trading.
The San Jose, Calif.-based company said it
now expects sales of $400 million to $410
million for the third quarter, down from a pre-
vious estimate of $433 million to $446 mil-
lion.

WASHINGTON House Republican
leaders are offering President Barack Obama
an opening for compromise on measures that
would spur job growth. They say neither
Republicans nor the administration should
consider their own initiatives an all-or-noth-
ing situation.
In a letter to Obama Tuesday, Speaker John
Boehner and House Republican Leader Eric
Cantor asked the president to meet with the
bipartisan leadership of Congress this week
to discuss his proposals in advance of his
jobs address Thursday to a joint session of
Congress.
The letter lists GOP proposals that have
already passed the House that they said
would be worthy of his consideration.
They acknowledged that both Republicans
and the administration believe their policy
prescriptions are best for the country and
conceded that neither side would likely con-
vince the other to adopt all of each others
proposals.
But, they added, it is critical that our dif-
ferences not preclude us from taking action
in areas where there is common agreement.
The leadership letter came as Obama is
pressing Congress to cooperate on measures
that would help spur the economy and create
jobs in advance of his highly-anticipated jobs
speech Thursday.
The outreach to the president also comes
amid public opinion polls that show
Congress has lower approval than Obama on
the economy, a political environment that
Obama aides say he will exploit if
Republicans block his proposals.

Last weekend was a big one for
football. Not only did the high
school season kick off, there were a
number of high-profile college
matchups on opening Saturday as
well.
Thursday, the NFL kicks off the
2011-12 season when the Green
Bay Packers and New Orleans
Saints face off in prime time.
As for the College of San Mateo?
Well, the Bulldogs have been impa-
tiently waiting for Saturdays season
opener in the San Joaquin Valley
when they travel to take on Fresno
City College.
We had our bye week in Week
1, said Tim Tulloch, CSM assistant
head coach and defensive coordina-
tor. As a coach, you always want
more time. But just to get in a game,
you want to do that.
The Bulldogs home opener is
Saturday, Sept. 17 when they host
another strong Valley team in
Reedley College. Unlike many top-
tier Division I college programs,
CSM does not believe in scheduling
body-bag games, which are games
against far inferior teams.
The rst two games (of the sea-
son), we choose, Tulloch said.
Factor in ve NorCal Conference
games, that leaves three others
matchups determined by the sched-
ule makers.
Why not (challenge ourselves
the rst two weeks)? Tulloch said.
We want to get prepared for con-
ference.
While the players may be ready to
go, the coaching staff relishes every
opportunity to practice because its
a chance to get better: better execu-
tion and better evaluation. Tulloch
said the CSM coaching staff is con-
stantly evaluating every player at
every position on every practice
snap. He said the staff tries to simu-
late game conditions as closely as
possible to see how the players will
respond when the pressure is on to
perform.
The more you practice, the more
you nd out what you can and cant
do, Tulloch said. We grade every
rep (repetition) of every practice. If
we can apply more pressure in prac-
tice theyll be more prepared for
the game.
The grading system the coaching
staff employs is their way of forcing
competition at every position,
every day. And just because a play-
er got a good grade one day, that
does not cement their status in the
starting lineup. What a player did
last year has no bearing on starting
spots, either. The coaching staff is
going to put the best, most consis-
tent player in the starting lineup. If
the backup is close, hell see plenty
of playing time as well.
Theyre making each other better
on every rep in practice, Tulloch
said. Early in the season, we have
to see what guys can do.
Its imperative the CSM coaching
staff nds out who can do what
before the start of conference play,
considering the Bulldogs play in
arguably the toughest conference in
the nation. All six teams in the
NorCal Conference Butte, City
College of San Francisco, CSM,
Foothill, Laney and Santa Rosa
are all ranked in the top 25 in the
state. Most are ranked in the top-10
in Northern California. As such,
CSMs No. 1 goal every year is to
win the NorCal Conference. The
Bulldogs know if they win confer-
ence, they have an excellent chance
of going to the Northern California
championship game, which leads to
a spot in the state championship
game.
It all starts with conference, how-
ever, and thats where the Bulldogs
focus is.
Is it reasonable? Tulloch asked.
Absolutely.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Braylon Edwards regularly lures
quarterback Alex Smith back onto the
eld for some extra work, a few more
throws to make sure theyre clicking
and on cue. Same goes for study ses-
sions in the lm room.
They do it after practice, even on
days off.
In the short time since Edwards
joined the San Francisco 49ers, he has
shown a commitment to his new team
and a much-needed second chance
out West with a fellow Michigan man
calling the shots: Jim Harbaugh.
Edwards hopes to develop the best
possible chemistry with Smith so he
can return to the dynamic play-mak-
ing receiver he has been in the past.
He plans to stay out of trouble in
the process.
Im trying just to be a team guy, t
in, do the things necessary to help this
team succeed, Edwards said
Tuesday. I feel like Ive done that
behind the scenes and I will continue
doing so.
He recently switched back to his
old No. 17 jersey after wearing Terrell
Owens former No. 81 during training
camp.
While Edwards might not start
Sundays season opener against
defending NFC West champion
Seattle, he should take on a big role as
he begins his seventh NFL season.
So far, there have been no signs of
the player who found trouble during a
tumultuous two-year tenure with the
New York Jets.
Harbaugh hopes
it stays that way
for someone he
has watched
grow up thanks
to their Ann
Arbor connec-
tion.
The 28-year-
old Edwards
received a $3.5
million, one-year contract last month,
giving San Francisco the strong, ath-
letic wideout they sought to t into
Harbaughs West Coast offense.
The Niners love his size.
Edwards is 6-foot-3 and 214
pounds. He demonstrated his athleti-
cism with a pretty one-handed catch
along the sideline in a 17-3 exhibition
win over the Oakland Raiders on
Aug. 20.
He brings a lot to us, tight end
Vernon Davis said. Hes a big-time
playmaker. He has that ability to real-
ly do that, especially in one-on-one
battles.
Harbaugh made it clear when
Edwards arrived that it was time for
him to nally grow up and take
responsibility for his behavior and his
play.
The well-mannered Edwards goes
about his business without bringing
any added attention to himself, some-
thing his teammates appreciate.
You can tell he loves what he does
and that hes serious about the game,
running back Frank Gore said. I like
any guy who approaches the game
like he loves it, and thats what he
does. Im happy hes part of the
Niners.
Polite and polished, Edwards hard-
ly seems like someone with several
legal run-ins.
A Cleveland judge spared him jail
time in July but extended his Ohio
probation by one year for violating
terms by driving drunk in New York
City last September.
In January 2010, he pleaded no
contest in Cleveland to aggravated
disorderly conduct after being
accused of punching a friend of NBA
star LeBron James.
While on his 18-month probation
from the Cleveland case, Edwards
was charged with driving while intox-
icated in his Land Rover in
Manhattan in September 2010. Police
said his blood-alcohol level was twice
the legal limit.
The 49ers said Tuesday they had
been informed by the league that
there would be no suspension for
Edwards, who was ned $50,000 by
the NFL for his DWI. Edwards later
tweeted about it.
I guess the good news is out 49er
faithfuls, no suspension. I did get
ned but I am in agreement and
happy to move on, Edwards said via
his Twitter account.
He had also been linked to a bar
ght in Michigan last month.
Edwards is working each day to do
right.
More so just enjoying for right
now, not looking too much into the
future, Edwards said. Im just
enjoying it day to day, week to week.
I think thats all you can do. For right
now it feels good to have a fresh
start.
Edwards new teammates and
coaches dont seem too concerned
about any past problems as long as he
continues to exhibit the same focus
and work ethic.
Edwards could emerge as a big-
play threat and carry the load early
considering Michael Crabtree
remains behind after missing training
camp with a broken left foot that
required surgery.
Crabtree, sidelined for the third
straight preseason after sustaining the
broken foot in a Smith-led June work-
out, said he hadnt been told if he
would play Sunday.
Is he ready?
Yeah, I should be, he said.
Smith has certainly appreciated
Edwards initiative.
Crucial, trying to make up for lost
time, Smith said. Really trying to
do something every day, trying to take
a step every day. It might not be
something huge but just little things
every day, staying on top of it,
whether its in the lm room or out on
the eld or just communicating.
Those are things I think eventually
add up.
This isnt the rst time Edwards has
started over. He was traded to the Jets
from the Browns during the 2009 sea-
son and shone until the DWI charge.
Edwards hopes to put all that in the
past for good.
Braylon has been great. Braylon
brings a lot to the team, brings a lot to
the group, offensive coordinator
Greg Roman said. I really enjoy his
presence. Hes a competitive guy that
just wants to win. The more of those
guys we can have, the better. He
could be a difference-maker. As he
keeps improving and working into the
offense, its just like anybody else, his
role will expand.
Notes: Defensive coordinator Vic
Fangio expected CB Shawntae
Spencer (hamstring) and S Reggie
Smith recovering from recent sur-
gery to repair the meniscus in his
knee to return to practice. ... San
Francisco signed LB Tavares Gooden
to a one-year deal to be a backup
inside linebacker to All-Pro Patrick
Willis and provide a regular presence
on special teams. We felt he would
be an upgrade in special teams for
us, Fangio said. To make room on
the roster, the Niners released line-
backer Antwan Applewhite. Fangio
was Goodens position coach in
Baltimore from 2008-09.

STANFORD Stepfan Taylors eyes light
up every time he sees a safety dropping into
coverage or a linebacker cheating back to play
the pass.
It happens almost every play.
With Heisman Trophy favorite Andrew
Luck piling up yards passing, sixth-ranked
Stanfords stout running game can be easy to
overlook. Defenses rarely play the run, if ever,
because most of the schemes revolve around
stopping No. 12.
People forget about the running game
sometimes. Or a lot, actually, Taylor said,
smiling. With Andrew at quarterback, youve
got to play the pass.
At least thats what Stanford wants every-
body to believe.
While Luck has been toying with defenses
in the air and at the line of scrimmage, the
Cardinal have quietly put together one of the
nations best rushing attacks. All four tail-
backs return from last season, and new coach
David Shaw believes they could be scary
good.
Weve got four guys
who could start at most
places, Shaw said. Were
as deep there as anybody
in the nation.
Stanford started off slow
rushing in a season-open-
ing 57-3 victory over San
Jose State, especially in
short-yardage situations.
Taylor finished with 18
carries for 61 yards and a pair of touchdowns,
and the Cardinal had 141 yards rushing as a
team.
One of the biggest goals in Saturdays rst
road test at Duke is getting the running game
back to where it was a year ago. That mark
would be a tough hurdle to clear for anybody.
Taylor ran for 1,137 yards last year and
would have had far more if not for former
coach Jim Harbaughs insistence on spreading
the ball around. Only ve other Stanford play-
ers have reached 1,000 yards, most recently
2009 Heisman runner-up Toby Gerhart
(1,871), who eclipsed the milestone twice.
The Cardinal also nished just 58 yards shy
of breaking the schools rushing record
(2,837) set in 2009. Anthony Wilkerson,
Jeremy Stewart and Tyler Gaffney all split
time as Taylors backup last season. And Luck
nished second on the team with 453 yards
rushing.
Theyre just physical, Duke coach David
Cutcliffe said. Theyre going to line up in
two and three tight end sets and do a lot of
shifts and motion to try to create support prob-
lems for you.
All four backs are similar in style but took
opposite paths up the depth chart.
Taylor and Wilkerson had to shore up their
blocking as freshmen. Stewart was all speed
and no nesse. And Gaffney was a natural tal-
ent but had to balance being a two-sport play-
er, juggling baseball and football he has a
.327 batting average in two years in the out-
eld.
The one thing they all have in common:
each believes theyre the fastest.
I like to think Id win the race, Wilkerson
said, echoing his teammates.
Even though Luck grabs most of the head-
lines, gaining yards on the ground is at the
heart of the style that Harbaugh and now
Shaw, the former offensive coordinator
have always espoused. The running backs all
wear T-shirts that read: Focus and Finish.
The motto has spread to become part of the
teams slogan.
Since Ive been here, its always been run
rst, Luck said. Its sort of engrained and
indoctrinated in us when we get here.
When Harbaugh was at the helm, the rota-
tion at running back was rampant.
Shaw signaled in the opener that Taylor
would be more than just the starter in name,
showing he might increase the running backs
carries this season to allow him to nd more
of a rhythm. Shaw also wants to keep fresh
legs on the eld, and with four quality backs,
it can be a tricky scenario plugging in the right
player.
Thats all part of the challenge.
About the only thing tougher for Shaw is
selling everybody on the idea that Stanford
with Luck at quarterback is a run-rst
team. He plans to give everybody a reminder
this fall.
All the offseason talk, everybody knows
how good Andrew is, Shaw said. Which is
ne, but were a running football team. Our
offensive football starts and ends with us run-
ning the football.

NEW YORK Winning the biggest game of
college footballs opening weekend boosted LSU
to No. 2 in The Associated Press Top 25.
No. 1 Oklahoma held on to the top spot in the
rst regular-season rankings, while the Tigers
used their 40-27 victory against Oregon to jump
rival Alabama, which slipped to No. 3.
Its way too early to feel like we have accom-
plished anything, LSU coach Les Miles said.
Our guys understand the need to improve each
game.
The Sooners received 32 of 60 rst-place votes
and 1,448 points. LSU received 17 rst-place
votes and 1,415 points.
Alabama had nine rst-place votes, and two
voters had No. 4 Boise State top-ranked after the
Broncos impressive 35-21 win against Georgia.
Florida State moved up to No. 5.
Oregon dropped nine spots to No. 13 and
defending national champion Auburn, which
started the season at No. 23, fell out of the Top 25
after needing a late rally to beat Utah State 42-38
at home.
The Tigers became just the second defending
national champions since the preseason poll
started in 1950 to fall out of the rankings after the
rst week of the season in the rst regular-season

SAN DIEGO Brett Pill hit a two-run
homer in his rst big league at-bat, Eric
Surkamp earned his rst major league win and
the San Francisco Giants had to escape a
bases-loaded jam in the ninth inning to beat
the San Diego Padres 6-4 on Tuesday night.
The defending World Series champion
Giants pulled within six games of NL West-
leading Arizona with 20 to go. The
Diamondbacks lost 8-3 at Colorado.
With the Giants leading 6-3, Javier Lopez
walked Orlando Hudson on four pitches to
open the Padres ninth. Santiago Casilla came
on and got two outs before allowing rookie
Anthony Rizzos RBI double off the right-
eld wall. Casilla hit Cameron Maybin on the
right elbow and hit Jason Bartlett on the left
hand to load the bases. Manager Bruce Bochy
turned to Ramon Ramirez, the sixth Giants
reliever, who struck out Jesus Guzman for his
fourth save in ve chances.
Surkamp (1-0) allowed three runs and ve
hits in ve innings, struck out two and walked
one.
Carlos Beltran had three hits and three RBIs
for the Giants, who won with three prospects
in their starting lineup. Pills contract was pur-
chased last Wednesday from Triple-A Fresno.
Surkamp, called up from Double-A
Richmond on Aug. 27, made his second big
league start. Justin Christian started in center
eld and batted leadoff after his contract was
purchased from Fresno on Tuesday. Christian
appeared in 24 games with the New York
Yankees in 2008.
With Mark DeRosa aboard on a leadoff sin-
gle in the second, Pill hit an 0-1 pitch from
lefty Wade LeBlanc (2-5) that caromed off the
balcony of the third level of the Western Metal
Supply Co. brick warehouse in the left-eld
corner at Petco Park and back onto the eld.
Padres left elder Kyle Blanks tossed it into
the stands, where a man grabbed it. Padres
event operations supervisor Rob Arnold nego-
tiated with the fan to get the ball for Pill.
Pill, who led the Pacic Coast League with
167 hits, started at rst base.
Beltran, back after missing Mondays game
with food poisoning, hit an RBI single in the
third, an RBI double in the fth and brought in
a run with a grounder in the ninth.
San Diegos Nick Hundley hit a solo homer
off Surkamp leading off the second. Rookie
Andy Parrino got his rst big league RBI on a
sacrice y later that inning, and Kyle Blanks
hit a sacrice y in the third.
LeBlanc allowed four runs and eight hits in
ve innings, struck out one and walked none.
NOTES: Injured Giants LHP Barry Zito
threw a four-inning simulated game. Well
see how he comes out of this and see if we
need him for relief, Giants manager Bruce
Bochy said. ... The Padres recalled RHP Erik
Hamren from Triple-A Tucson. RHP Pat
Neshek was outrighted to Tucson today. He
was designated for assignment on Sept. 1
when the club claimed RHP Jeff Fulchino. ...
Padres RF Chris Denora, who came off the
DL on Monday, was hit in the head as he dove
back into second base on a pickoff attempt in
the second. He got up and took third before
scoring on Parrinos sac y. Will Venable
pinch-hit for Denora in the fth and stayed
in the game in RF. ... The series concludes
Wednesday afternoon when Giants RHP Matt
Cain (11-9, 2.85 ERA) opposes Padres RHP
Aaron Harang (12-5, 3.86). Cain is winless in
three starts against San Diego this season,
going 0-1 with a 4.05 ERA. Harang has gone
1-2 in his last three starts despite allowing
only ve earned runs.

NEW YORK A little after 3 p.m. Tuesday,
Rafael Nadal settled in at a table in the U.S. Open
players cafeteria and sprinkled some salt on his
lunch of salmon and rice.
The days work for the defending champion
was complete, consisting of a 1 1/2-hour practice
session indoors at Flushing Meadows instead of
his scheduled fourth-round match outdoors,
because steady rain washed out all of Tuesdays
action.
Sitting a couple of seats away, Toni Nadal
Rafaels uncle and coach laughed at a ques-
tion about the scary scene during a post-match
news conference over the weekend, when his
nephew grimaced and called for a trainers help
for right leg cramps, then slid out of his chair to
the oor.
Hes perfectly healthy, with no problems at
all, Uncle Toni said. Hes good. Practice was
normal yesterday, and normal today.
During last years run to his rst U.S. Open
title, which completed a career Grand Slam,
Nadal served superbly His best serving in
one tournament, Uncle Toni called it regular-
ly hitting aces at more than 130 mph and getting
broken a total of ve times in seven matches.
This year, Nadal already was broken nine
times in three matches, and six in his opener
alone.
In the rst round, he played no good. He
made so many mistakes. He was broken so
much. But after, he played so much better,
Uncle Toni said. Im not worried about his
serve. His serve isnt a problem.
Indeed, their biggest concern suddenly is when
the weather will allow players to get back on
court. As it is, the men in the second-seeded
Nadals half of the draw such as No. 4 Andy
Murray, No. 21 Andy Roddick and No. 28 John
Isner could be forced to play four matches in
ve days, or even worse.
We would prefer to play today, because after
not playing today, every day is one day less,
Uncle Toni said. That makes it more complicat-
ed.
The men in the other half of the eld, includ-
ing No. 1 Novak Djokovic and 16-time major
champion Roger Federer, already have pro-
gressed to the quarternals.
Its a huge advantage for the top half right
now. They have one match to play in the next
four days, and the other guys have two and
then theyll have two more after that, said U.S.
Davis Cup captain Jim Courier, a four-time
Grand Slam title winner. Its the luck of the
draw.
There is no permanent or retractable roof on
any court used for matches at the U.S. Open,
unlike at Wimbledon and the Australian Open.
The French Open announced plans to install a
retractable roof on center court by 2016.
Citing nancial concerns and technical com-
plexities, the U.S. Tennis Association says it
doesnt have plans to put a roof on Arthur Ashe
Stadium, although it is still studying possible
options. Past estimates put the cost of a roof at
$150 million to $200 million.
And so wet weather affects plans at the years
last Grand Slam tournament, where rain pushed
the mens nal back a day to Monday in 2008,
2009 and 2010. The two-week U.S. Open began
Aug. 29, and is scheduled to end Sunday.
Tuesday was the rst time play has been
delayed by rain this year, postponing a total of 54
matches four in the fourth round of mens sin-
gles, two in the quarternals of womens singles,
along with doubles and juniors at least until
Wednesday, when the forecast predicts more
rain.
The mens matches originally set for Tuesday
were Nadal against unseeded Gilles Muller of
Luxembourg; Roddick, the 2003 U.S. Open
champion, against No. 5 David Ferrer of Spain;
Isner against No. 12 Gilles Simon of France; and
three-time Grand Slam nalist Murray against
unseeded Donald Young of the United States.
In womens singles, No. 2 Vera Zvonareva was
to face No. 9 Sam Stosur, and No. 26 Flavia
Pennetta was scheduled to play unseeded
Angelique Kerber of Germany.
Those six matches now are on Wednesdays
schedule, plus the other two womens quarter-
nals 13-time major champion Serena
Williams vs. No. 17 Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova,
and No. 1 Caroline Wozniacki vs. No. 10 Andrea
Petkovic and the rst two mens quarternals
Djokovic vs. No. 20 Janko Tipsarevic, and
Federer vs. No. 11 Jo-Wilfried Tsonga.
Its going to get crazy once it gets going,
Courier said.
The schedule-juggling produced a couple of
notable tweaks.
Because the tournament wants to try to ensure
that if tennis is played Wednesday, the held-over
mens matches can get on court as early as possi-
ble, Roddick-Ferrer was shifted from Arthur
Ashe Stadium on Tuesday night to Louis
Armstrong Stadium at 11 a.m. Wednesday. And
Youngs rst Grand Slam quarternal, against
the far-more-experienced Murray, was shifted
from the 23,771-seat Ashe to the 6,106-seat
Grandstand.
Donald might be more comfortable on a
smaller court ... out of the spotlight, Courier
said.
Roddick hasnt played anywhere at Flushing
Meadows other than Ashe since Sept. 3, 2002,
when he beat Juan Ignacio Chela at Armstrong in
the fourth round; thats 39 consecutive U.S. Open
matches at Ashe.
Roddick acknowledges that gives him a sort of
home-court advantage there.
Yes, yes, theres denitely things that are
always the same out there and things that appear
to be one way and they are denitely the other
way, Roddick explained after his third-round
victory Sunday. I would sit here and go through
them all, but that would pretty much waste all of
the experience that you are asking me about.

Bulldogs are not a particularly fast-
swimming team, Wright wants them
to set up in a half-court offense
more often than not, which will
allow them to control the pace of the
match.
Middle of the pool, we dont
have a lot of speed, Wright said. If
we keep scores under seven, were
right in our ball game.
Wright will rely on Gianna
Davino (Burlingame), Angelica
Medina (Terra Nova), Paige
Ramstack (San Mateo) and Kathryn
Velichko (Terra Nova) to provide
leadership and experience. All are
returners who saw signicant play-
ing time last year.
We have four solid girls who
would play on any team in [the
Coast Conference], Wright said.
We have some interchangeable
parts.
He also said Ruby Myint (Terra
Nova) and Coco Morton (Hillsdale)
have improved since last season.
Instead of a movement-based
offense, Wright said he expects to
play more of a post-up game, to put
it in basketball parlance. Hell put
one of four players in the hole set
(or 2-meter) spot and hope to do
damage inside.
Were more of a pound-it-into-
the-set team, Wright said. This
year, were trying to be big in the
middle.
Wright said he may rely on fresh-
man goalie Daira Kekuewa (Mercy-
Burlingame) and his defense to hold
the line until the offense can get into
a ow. Rachel Rosas (Hillsdale) will
provide some much needed speed
and, if Zoe Sianis can iron out some
academic issues, Wright will have
some burners.
All of that is conjecture at this
point, however. Wrights biggest
concern is whether his returning
players have improved their ball
handling and possession, and
whether they can get more accurate
shots on the cage. He said theyve
been doing it in practice, but he
wont know if they can execute in
live action until the whistle blows
for real.
They look good in practice,
Wright said. Its night and day
(from last season). But does it trans-
late to the game? I dont know.

Souza.
Its really rewarding to see cer-
tain players that Ive coached when
they were younger or even in high
school that have either gotten that
scholarship in college, or played col-
lege ball or even got drafted,
Landwehr said of his time as a
coach. So, its a very rewarding
experience seeing a lot of my former
players get to those higher levels of
baseball that I personally didnt
reach. Its a rewarding feeling.
I really do enjoy doing what Im
doing, Landwehr said when asked
if hes contemplated taking his
career to higher levels of baseball. I
love the age group. Baseball is the
kind of game where youre always
learning, even as a coach youre
always learning. I feel like Ive
learned to be more patient. When I
was a player, I was a very emotional
player. Teaching the younger kids
taught me to be more level-headed
and kind of, not be as emotional
be that leader for the kids.
When hes not in his baseball uni-
form, Landwehr is still very much
involved with the youth of Foster
City and San Mateo as a coordinator
at the Foster City Teen Center.
I love the community, Landwehr
said. I love the people around me.
Ive felt like Ive made a lot of life-
long friends in this community.
And dont expect Landwehr to
leave the community any time soon.
I love doing it (coaching), he
said. So, unless theres something
thats physically preventing me from
doing it, I dont see myself stepping
away at any time. This is something
I love to do and if everything works
out like I hope it does, then I want to
do this for a long time.
I havent really thought of that
moment (being inducted),
Landwehr said. Ive kind of been
just enjoying it now. A lot of people
have come up to say hi and congrat-
ulate me, which is an amazing feel-
ing.

FAME
Antonia Tribozi scored.
With Menlos failing to nd any
rhythm offensively, head coach Fana
Fuqua decided to turn up the pressure
defensively and pressure the ball to
create more opportunities.
That plan got off to a slow start
when Chinn scored yet another goal
with 4:08 left in the third quarter. But
then Menlo showed signs of life, scor-
ing three straight goals to make it 6-3.
Katie Bratt restored a little bit of order
for Hillsdale when she scored with
1:08 left in the third to put the lead
back to four.
Menlo scored to open the fourth
quarter, but Chinn responded to that
score and Souther followed with two
more tallies. Lisette Solis scored the
nal goal of the game with 39 second
left.
I think were going to do very well
this season, Souther said.
Our team is really good, Chinn
said. Weve been getting a lot better.

poll though the circumstances
were far different the rst time it hap-
pened.
Alabama, the 1964 AP champion,
started the 65 season ranked No. 5.
The Crimson Tide lost 18-17 to
Georgia to open the season and
dropped out, but The Associated
Press only ranked 10 teams that sea-
son. Alabama eventually returned to
the Top 10 and won another national
title.
The 1961 Minnesota team is the
only defending champion to be
unranked in the preseason poll.
Moving into this weeks rankings
were No. 20 Baylor, which beat TCU
50-48, and No. 22 South Florida, 23-
20 winners at Notre Dame.
Also ranked for the rst time this
season were No. 23 Penn State and
No. 24 Texas. The Longhorns started
the season unranked for the rst time
since 1998.
Penn State moves into the rankings
ahead of Saturdays home game
against third-ranked Alabama. Its the
only game this week matching
ranked teams.
TCU dropped 11 spots to No. 25.
Notre Dame and Georgia tumbled
out of the Top 25 after losses. Like
Auburn, Southern California, which
opened the season ranked 25th, fell
out of the rankings after a victory.
USC squeaked by Minnesota 19-17.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK His family has
his spare reghter uniform, but not
the one he wore on 9/11 or any
other trace of him.
Killed at the World Trade Center,
32-year-old Scott Kopytkos
remains were never recovered a
painful legacy of grief for families
looking for answers, closure or nal
conrmation that their loved one
was actually a 9/11 victim.
Very painful and very hurt is
how Russell Mercer, Kopytkos
stepfather, describes it. And mis-
trusting of everybody.
Numbers tell the story in the
decade of search and recovery of the
remains of Sept. 11 victims a
massive forensic investigation
marked by a Supreme Court appeal
of families who wanted a more thor-
ough search, and discoveries years
after the attacks of even more
remains in manholes and on
rooftops around ground zero.
Tens of millions have been spent,
including on the painstaking extrac-
tion of DNA from tiny bone frag-
ments, using technology refined
from a decade ago.
Of 21,000 remains that have
been recovered, nearly 9,000 are
unidentied, because of the degrad-
ed condition they were found in.
More than 1,100 victims have no
identiable remains.
And the pace of the process is
telling in ve years, only 26 new
identications. Ernest James, a 40-
year-old man who worked in the
trade centers north tower, was the
last identication, in late August.
I cant give a time frame of when
an identication is going to be made,
if at all, said Mark Desire, who
heads the World Trade Center iden-
tication unit for the city medical
examiners office. But we are
working nonstop.
Five scientists work seven days a
week trying to make new identica-
tions at a lab in an ultra-modern
building on the east side of
Manhattan. The unidentified
remains are stored in climate-con-
trolled conditions under a white tent
blocks from the medical examiners
ofce. About 400 bone fragments
are looked at and analyzed every
month.
DNA analysis is done by compar-
ing the remains genetic prole to
DNA found from victims posses-
sions, like toothbrushes; from rela-
tives; or from previously identied
remains.
The fragments are examined,
cleaned, and pulverized into powder
to extract tell-tale genetic traces a
process that can take up to a week
before an identication is made.
Most of the DNA proles generated
belong to previously identied vic-
tims.
When an identication is made,
the remains are returned to the fam-
ily. Sometimes, nothing survives the
DNA testing. Relatives might only
receive the packaging where the
remains had been stored.
Desire, assistant director of foren-
sic biology for the medical examin-
ers ofce, says the ofce wont give
up.
The dedication of this team ... is
as strong as it was 10 years ago, he
said in a recent interview.
But the extended search bafes
family members like Mercer.
You can nd DNA from the Civil
War, World War I and World War II,
he said. But you cant nd DNA
from rst responders or civilians?
The struggle to identify the 9/11
dead began almost immediately
after the attacks in New York City,
the Pentagon, and in Shanksville,
Pa., where one of the hijacked
planes crashed in the woods and
plains before reaching its intended
target. Forensic teams at the three
sites were faced with challenges in
identifying victims and the hijackers
some of whose remains are now
in the custody of the FBI.
In Pennsylvania, the heat caused
by the high-speed crash into a eld
caused 92 percent of the human
remains to vaporize, leaving very lit-
tle to work with, said Wallace
Miller, the county corner who
helped to identify the victims. DNA
was used to make matches to the 40
victims, plus four sets of remains
from the terrorists. To this day,
remains are still embedded in the
eld where the ight went down.
Most of the 184 victims at the
Pentagon also were identied using
DNA. All but ve where there
was not enough material to analyze
were identied, said Paul Stone,
spokesman for the U.S. Armed
Forces Medical Examiner System.
But nowhere was the forensic
detective work as demanding and
daunting than at the 16-acre World
Trade Center site, where the giant
towers collapsed onto the rest of the
complex, breaking everything into
pieces.
Few full bodies were recovered at
all. Then, heat, moisture, bacteria
and chemicals like jet fuel combined
to thwart the detective work of
forensic scientists. Some remains
were so badly burned or contaminat-
ed that DNA could not be analyzed.
By April 2005, the citys chief
medical examiner, Charles Hirsch,
told families his ofce would be sus-
pending identification efforts
because it had exhausted the limits
of current DNA technology.
Identications restarted in 2006
amid the discovery of dozens of
bone fragments of a 9/11 victim in a
manhole renewed a search that
found nearly 2,000 new fragments
on rooftops and under a trade center
road. The latest search ended last
year.
Body parts were also recovered at
a former landll in Staten Island,
where debris from the site was trans-
ferred. In 2008, a judge rejected a
lawsuit brought by several families
of Sept. 11 victims who sought to
move the debris to a plot of land that
could be transformed into a ceme-
tery.
What to do with the remains that
have been recovered also has stirred
up anguish for some families.
As an above-ground memorial to
the victims nears opening, some
renewed objections to a plan to store
the unidentied remains behind a
subterranean wall at the National
September 11 Memorial &
Museum. The museum is to open
next year.
Its horrendous ... that families
have to rub shoulders with thou-
sands to go see the remains, said
Rosemary Cain, who lost her 35-
year-old reghter son, George, on
9/11.
Some of his remains have been
returned to her, but she said it was
important for the unidentied to
have a proper burial place.
Ten years, 21,000 bone fragments, no 9/11 closure

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON Working-age
America is the new face of poverty.
Counting adults 18-64 who were
laid off in the recent recession as well
as single twenty-somethings still
looking for jobs, the new working-age
poor represent nearly 3 out of 5 poor
people a switch from the early
1970s when children made up the
main impoverished group.
While much of the shift in poverty
is due to demographic changes
Americans are having fewer children
than before the now-weakened
economy and limited government
safety net for workers are heightening
the effect.
Currently, the ranks of the working-
age poor are at the highest level since
the 1960s when the war on poverty
was launched. When new census g-
ures for 2010 are released next week,
analysts expect a continued increase
in the overall poverty rate due to per-
sistently high unemployment last
year.
If that holds true, it will mark the
fourth year in a row of increases in the
U.S. poverty rate, which now stands
at 14.3 percent, or 43.6 million peo-
ple.
There is a lot of discussion about
what the aging of the baby boom
should mean for spending on Social
Security and Medicare. But there is
not much discussion about how the
wages of workers, especially those
with no more than a high school
degree, are not rising, said Sheldon
Danziger, a University of Michigan
public policy professor who special-
izes in poverty.
Census numbers show that out of
8.8 million families who are currently
poor, about 60 percent had at least one
person who was working.
The reality is there are going to be
a lot of working poor for the foresee-
able future, Danziger said, citing
high unemployment and congression-
al resistance to raising the minimum
wage.
The newest poor include Richard
Bowden, 53, of southeast
Washington, who has been on food
stamps off and on the last few years.
A maintenance worker, Bowden says
he was unable to save much money
before losing his job months ago. He
no longer works due to hip and back
problems and now gets by on about
$1,000 a month in disability and other
aid. At my work, we hadnt gotten a
raise in two years, even while the
prices of food and clothing kept going
up, so I had little left over, Bowden
said. Now, after rent, the utility bill,
transportation and other costs, my
money is pretty much down to noth-
ing.
I pray and hope that things get bet-
ter, but you just dont know, he said.
The poverty gures come at a polit-
ically sensitive time for President
Barack Obama, after a Labor
Department report last Friday showed
zero job growth in August. The White
House now acknowledges that the
unemployment rate, currently at 9.1
percent, will likely average 9 percent
through 2012.
Obama is preparing to outline a
new plan for creating jobs and stimu-
lating the economy in a prime-time
address to Congress on Thursday. The
Republican-controlled House has
been adamant about requiring spend-
ing cuts in return for an increase in the
federal debt limit. Suggested cuts
have included proposals to raise the
eligibility age for future Medicare
recipients or to reduce other domestic
programs in a way that would dispro-
portionately affect the poor.
According to the latest census data,
the share of poor who are ages 18-64
now stands at 56.7 percent, compared
to 35.5 percent who are children and
7.9 percent who are 65 and older. The
working-age share surpasses a previ-
ous high of 55.5 percent rst reached
in 2004.
Working-age adults make up record share of U.S. poor

T
he basic building block for
a great salad? Greens, of
course. But for James
Peterson, what that means varies
greatly by season.
I usually start out with a stan-
dard combination of greens, one for
winter, one for summer, said
Peterson, whose cookbooks have
won numerous James Beard
awards. In the winter, I use a com-
bination of bitter greens, including
frisee, treviso or radicchio di
Cremona (the bulb kind we usually
see), and endive, and a spicy mix-
ture of equal parts basil leaves and
rucula (baby radicchio) in the sum-
mer.
From there, its all a matter of
taste and inspiration.
I then build on these mixtures,
adding savory ingredients, eggs,
tomatoes, avocados, green beans,
anchovies or whatever suits my
fancy, Peterson said in an email
interview. Basic salads can easily
be converted into main courses by
adding such things as sliced grilled
steak or duck, chicken, slices of
raw grilled tuna.
For APs 20 Salads of Summer
series, Peterson offered his version
on the classic Italian bread and
tomato salad from his just released
cookbook, Kitchen Simple.
When I developed the pan-
zanella salad consisting primarily
of bread and tomatoes, I wanted
the bread to retain its crunch and
not get soggy,
but at the
same time I
wanted it to
absorb the
juices from
the tomatoes,
he said. To
accomplish
this, I saute
the bread
cubes in olive
oil, which sort
of seals them
from moisture
and keeps them crisp.
The other element is, of course,
the tomatoes, which must be super
ripe. Its also important to seed the
tomatoes so their juices dont over-
ly dilute the salad sauce, a step
omitted by many even experienced
cooks. The salad should not only
be a study in avors, but also one
of textures.
TUSCAN BREAD
AND TOMATO SALAD
If youd rather, the four large
tomatoes can be replaced with about
32 cherry tomatoes.
Start to nish: 20 minutes
Servings: 4
Three 1/2-inch-thick slices crusty
bread, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
(about 3 cups)
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive
oil, divided
4 medium tomatoes (peeled, if
desired)
1 medium red or green bell pep-
per, roasted, peeled, then cut into
strips
20 fresh basil leaves
12 anchovy llets in olive oil,
drained
5 tablespoons pitted and coarsely
chopped brine-cured imported black
olives
2 tablespoons sherry vinegar
Salt and ground black pepper
In a large skillet over medium
heat, toss the bread cubes with 3
tablespoons of the oil. Saute until
the cubes brown slightly, about 10
minutes. Set aside.
Cut the tomatoes in half crosswise
and gently squeeze out the seeds.
Chop the tomatoes into 1/2-inch
chunks and put in a large bowl. Add
the bread cubes, the remaining 3
tablespoons oil, the bell pepper,
basil, anchovies, olives and vinegar.
Toss to combine. Season with salt
and pepper, then serve immediately.
Get green, then build your salad

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SEATTLE When he spent his
days smoking crack and helping
women sell themselves, Brandon
Hicks had little occasion to ponder
an herbed goat-cheese tartine.
But here he was in the kitchen of
FareStart, a Seattle nonprot that
specializes in turning around lives
like his, carefully weighing dollops
of a savory cheese mixture onto
small slabs of baked dough to be
served with arugula and roasted
cherry tomatoes. Before long, hun-
dreds of diners would begin arriving
at the restaurant for a xed-menu
dinner overseen by a guest chef,
Seth Caswell of Seattle restaurant
emmer&rye.
I didnt know nothing about goat
cheese before, but its pretty good,
you know, said Hicks, 23. Ive
tried a lot of new things since Ive
been here.
He was surrounded by people try-
ing new things being sober at
work, showing up on time, getting a
grip on their anger or shyness.
Marvin Blackweasel, a member
of the Blackfeet Tribe, stood over an
industrial mixer, dumping thyme,
tarragon, parsley and chives into the
fresh cheese learning to cook
after decades of alcoholism. He lost
a landscaping job nearly three years
ago, and at one point was living
between a retaining wall and a clus-
ter of trees in West Seattle.
At a metal table nearby, Andy
Osterman laid a ruler beside a rec-
tangle of chilled fennel crust and cut
it in a precise grid for the entree
one square for each 4-ounce pork
medallion. Osterman, 41, has strug-
gled with a bad temper and a
domestic violence conviction, and
said hes starting over after becom-
ing a victim of the recession. He
was laid off by a moving company
and found himself unable to afford
the room he was renting in a
friends house.
Double-checking their work was
FareStart staff chef Sam Clinton,
who had once himself been home-
less after blowing a promising culi-
nary career and swanky condo on a
cocaine habit.
The students here keep me
grounded, he said. If you want to
be sober, you need to be with people
who want to be sober.
Since it was founded in the early
1990s, FareStart has helped thou-
sands of troubled and homeless peo-
ple by training them to work in the
food industry. Its students have
cooked millions of meals delivered
to shelters, senior centers and day-
cares along the way. Now, with its
prole raised this year by a James
Beard Foundation Humanitarian
Award, the program is expanding its
inuence by creating a network for
like-minded programs across the
country.
From traditional soup kitchens to
programs like celebrity chef Jamie
Olivers three Fifteen restaurants,
which train at-risk youngsters to be
chefs, food has long been a vehicle
for improving peoples lives. But
FareStart and others in its new net-
work, called Catalyst Kitchens, take
it a step further, based on the pow-
erful notion that they can accom-
plish three goals at once: feeding
hungry people, providing housing
and other support to those on the
margins of society, and giving peo-
ple the skills they need to lift them-
selves out of poverty.
Launched this year following a
pilot project, Catalyst has 20 mem-
bers, including Chicagos
Inspiration Corporation and
Washingtons D.C. Central Kitchen.
Some, such as Libertys Kitchen in
New Orleans and Lifes Kitchen in
Boise, Idaho, have created or
expanded their programs based on
input from Catalyst. Benets for the
member organizations can include
Seattle program teaches homeless to feed hungry
I dont mean to imply that people can really change
their lives in four months of being here. But what you do start to see is that
at the end of the program, they stand up straighter. Theyre condent. They
feel empowered.They feel like they mean something to themselves and to others.

I
m not trying to rush summer out the
door or anything, but all this hot weath-
er has had me thinking fall and one of
the classic combinations of the season
apples and pork.
The pairing of roasted pork and apples is
nothing new, but delivering it in 20 minutes
and at under 250 calories per serving is.
While you can use any type of apple for
this recipe, Ive chosen Gala. Theyre juicy,
crisp, hugely avorful and just coming in to
season. Plus, they cook up tender and sweet.
But this dish is so easy, dont hesitate to play
around with the apple varieties to nd one
that suits you.
Whichever variety you use, youll cook
them in the microwave in a bowl of brewed
hibiscus tea. Seem odd to cook with tea? Its
just like adding another spice to your dish,
but with just a whisper of avor. A oral tea
like hibiscus is perfect for apples. The more I
cook with tea, the more I realize how versa-
tile it is. Once youve learned to cook with
tea, the world is your oyster. (Come to think
of it, maybe a good tea broth would improve
the taste of those slimy creatures.)
Like most meat, pork tenderloin can
become dry and tough if overcooked. I think
people are so afraid of eating undercooked
meat they tend to compensate by cooking the
life (along with the avor and tenderness)
right out of it. So follow my timing direc-
tions, then stop! Really!
Now about the cauliower... I realize it
isnt the most popular veggie. I suspect thats
because most people arent sure what to do
with it beyond drenching it in high-fat
cheese sauces. But I have a better way. In
this recipe I cook it in the same pan as the
pork so that it soaks up all the avor of the
meat.
This meal is truly delicious, and wont end
up on your hips. Traditional recipes pack 607
calories with more than 25 grams of fat. My
version has just 241 calories and 6 grams of
fat.
PORK TENDERLOIN,
ROASTED CAULIFLOWER
AND CHUNKY APPLESAUCE
Start to nish: 20 minutes
Servings: 4
1 pound pork tender-
loin, cut crosswise into
1/2-inch medallions
Salt and ground black
pepper
1 tablespoon extra-vir-
gin olive oil
1 small head cauli-
ower, cut into 2-inch
orets
2 Gala apples, cored
and cut into 1-inch
chunks
2 bags hibiscus tea
1 tablespoon water
1 tablespoon coconut
nectar or light agave
nectar
Juice of 1/2 lemon
8 sprigs fresh thyme, leaves picked
In a large pot, bring 6 quarts of water to a
boil. Once the water is boiling, add 2 table-
spoons salt. Heat the oven to 350 F.
Pour the olive oil into a large saute pan
and place over high heat. Season the pork
medallions on both sides with salt and pep-
per. Once the oil is smoking, add the medal-
lions to the pan in an even layer. Cook the
medallions about 2 minutes, or until the bot-
toms are browned. Flip and brown the other
side.
Transfer the pork to a plate, cover with foil
and set aside. Reserve the saute pan, uncleaned.
In a microwave-safe bowl combine the
apples, tea bags, 1 tablespoon of water and the
coconut nectar. Cover with plastic wrap, then
microwave on high for 5 minutes, or until the
apples are tender and falling apart when
mashed with a fork. Mix in the lemon juice,
then cover and set aside.
Add the cauliower to the boiling water
and cook for 2 minutes. Drain the cauli-
ower water and place on a cutting board.
Cut the orets in half from the stem to the
top of the oret. Arrange the orets, cut sides
down, in a single layer in the reserved saute
pan. Set over medium-high heat and cook
until the orets just begin to brown, about 1
minute.
Turn each oret, then nestle the pork back
into the pan. Add the thyme, then place the
pan in the oven to nish cooking the pork,
about 4 minutes.
Meanwhile, remove the plastic and tea
bags from the apples and mash with a fork.
Spoon one dollop on each of 4 serving
plates. Place 1 pork medallion on each plate,
then add cauliower. Add 2 tablespoons of
water to the pan and scrape up any browned
bits. Spoon the pan sauce over the top of
each medallion.

are rounded to the nearest whole number):
241 calories; 6 g fat (1 g saturated); 73 mg
cholesterol; 21 g carbohydrate; 27 g protein;
5 g ber; 390 mg sodium.
Chill in the air? Cue the pork and apples
If your pan isnt big enough to
hold all the pork, just use two
pans. You also can cook the
pork in two batches using the
same pan.
If youre in a serious hurry (like
you only have 10 minutes), cut
the tenderloin into thinner
medallions and cook them and
the cauliower in two separate
pans.
Do not overcook the pork
tenderloin. Its a very forgiving
cut, so it will be delicious no
matter what. But if its cooked
properly it will be sublime!

have fun and learn something about sus-
tainable farming that will make a differ-
ence to them.
Its all about being part of the com-
munity economic equity as well as
environment, Schulte said. Were
always trying to get the message out to
people as what sustainability is and why
its important, and what impact it has on
as we call it healthy communities.
SSMC administrator Adrienne
Etherton said the organization makes a
point to communicate to people how they
can make their daily lives more sustain-
able. SSMC has created a website called
Sustainability Hub that Etherton said
offers articles covering a range of sus-
tainability topics. Theyve also created
the Energy Ambassadors Program, of
which one aspect involves members vis-
iting homes around the county conduct-
ing Personal Energy Reviews to show
people how to make their homes more
energy-efcient. They try to break the
information down and make it easier for
people to understand, Etherton said, and
dont want people to overwhelm them-
selves by doing too many things at once.
Its about whats the next thing you
can do? said Etherton.
The Chefs Challenge wont be a com-
pletely new experience for Russell-
Wadleigh she does similar challenges
for people at the weekly San Carlos
farmers market, and she said theyre fun
for her. Shell have some idea of what
food will be provided, but overall it will
be a surprise. Russell-Wadleigh is a rm
believer in using locally grown seasonal
food and added that its easy in
California where there is such an abun-
dance.
It creates a situation where youre get-
ting the best of what is available,
Russell-Wadleigh said. It puts less pres-
sure on the environment to eat what is in
season ... instead of trying to grow
bananas in California where they dont
grow.
Consumers are realizing the benets of
local products and demanding more,
Russell-Wadleigh said, and encouraged
people to educate themselves about
whats in season and visit farmers mar-
kets. She added that Piacere is a Certied
Bay Area Green Business she said it is
designed to be as energy efcient and use
as much natural light as possible, while
also creating as little waste as possible.
Attendees of the Chefs Challenge will
also hear from two business owners for
whom sustainability is an intrinsic part of
daily life. Larry Jacobs is the owner of
Jacobs Farm in Pescadero, an organic
farm specializing in culinary herbs, and
has also founded a sustainable growers
association in Baja, Mexico. Jacobs
Farm will be providing some of the pro-
duce for the Chefs Challenge. Jacobs
operates his farm with sustainable tech-
niques like using minimal amounts of
sprayed pesticides, building up soil life
and treating employees compassionately.
Its not possible to live in a society
with constant growth, Jacobs said.
Moving toward sustainability is criti-
cal.
Attitudes about farming are changing,
according to Jacobs he said young
people going into farming as a profession
today consider organic methods just part
of the package, and are more interested
in getting food directly to local con-
sumers. Food is becoming a hot topic in
society from individuals to heads of
state, Jacobs said. He encourages people
to buy food locally and be aware of
where and how its produced, and for
people to be entrepreneurial about nd-
ing better ways to use natural resources
for daily activities. He also said people
will get a lot more out of having a per-
sonal garden than just growing food.
The second speaker for the event will
be Jim Varner, owner of Varner Wine
along with his brother Bob. Varner Wine
will contribute wine to the Chefs
Challenge. In creating and operating
their business, Varner said they use sus-
tainable methods like avoiding pesti-
cides, treating employees like family and
redesigning their wine bottles to be
lighter. Sustainability wasnt a big part of
winemaking when he and his brother
started, Varner said, but they just felt bet-
ter about it they wanted to live better.
Its an awareness more than a mind-
set, Varner said. Were all against the
spill in the Gulf of Mexico, but were all
driving big cars ... were as guilty as any-
one about it. If we can decide how to
spend our money, businesses will
respond to that.
Its not hard to make small changes,
Varner said, and being more sustainable
helps the environment but also helps the
individual have a calmer, better life.
Simple things like hanging up clothes
rather than using a dryer, walking more
instead of driving and going to farmers
markets are all ideas Varner suggests.
Schulte said he hopes the Chefs
Challenge will turn into a continuing
aspect of Sustainable San Mateo County
to show what the county offers.
Reservations can be made on the
Sustainable San Mateo Countys website

The network hopes to have 100 programs around the country
by 2015, with 6,000 trainees every year cooking 10 million
meals for hungry people.
They gave us a blueprint, and we basically went from con-
cept to operations in 13 months, says Chris Brooks, business
manager at Libertys Kitchen, which last year began providing
meals to New Orleans schoolchildren thanks to support from
Emeril Lagasses charitable foundation. It saved us a world of
time and resources, and it would have been impossible without
the guidance of the FareStart program.
FareStart traces its start to 1988, when a Seattle chef named
David Lee decided to start making meals for the homeless in the
basement of a church. He delivered them to shelters in the back
of his pickup truck.
Within a few years, Lee realized he could accomplish a lot
more if he was teaching the residents of the shelters to work in
a professional kitchen. He reorganized his operation as a non-
prot in 1992, and that rst year trained 10 students. Since then,
its become a beloved Seattle institution. Last year, FareStart
trained nearly 200 people, a little over half of whom graduated,
and made more than half-a-million meals for hungry people.
Many students who dont graduate the rst time try again later.
The students spend four months in a culinary training pro-
gram, where they take classes on knife skills and life skills.
They learn to read recipes, make sauces and plan menus. They
meet with counselors and sit around tables discussing the pat-
terns of behavior that got them in trouble in the rst place. The
students are given housing if they need it. FareStart spends
$300,000 a year renting beds in transitional apartments.
And they work, advancing from the basement kitchen, where
they prepare the meals sent to shelters, to the kitchen of
FareStarts elegant onsite restaurant, which is open for lunch on
weekdays and which plows its proceeds back into FareStarts
budget. A little more than one-third of its revenue last year
$2.5 million came from food sales, and more than half from
private donations.

The trouble with heading back to
school is that it invariably happens when
it still feels like summer. And sitting
inside a hot classroom on a sunny sum-
mery day can be a total downer.
While you cant do much about the
weather or school calendar, you can
offer your little ones a few cool and
refreshing afterschool treats to help
them beat the back-to-school blues.
Start them off with a frosty glass of
watermelon lemonade, a sweet and
refreshing drink you can feel good about
serving. Its nothing more than water-
melon, ice, lemon juice and a splash of
honey blended until thick. And feel free
to add frozen strawberries, raspberries or
other fruit for an even thicker slushy-like
drink.
Then move on to some ice cream so
healthy I sometimes serve it to my son
for breakfast. You do need a food proces-
sor to make this frozen fruit-based treat,
but the result is similar to soft serve. And
since it has no added sugar, I dont feel
guilty about letting my son add candy
sprinkles to complete the ice cream
effect.
When I make this recipe, I usually use
organic mango, which typically is sold
in 10-ounce bags. Conventional mango
often is sold in 12-ounce or larger bags.
Dont worry about the extra; this recipe
is particularly forgiving. If you nd it
too thick, simply add water, orange juice
or lemon juice until you get the consis-
tency you want.
Frozen grapes are a great treat on their
own, too. To freeze, wash fresh grapes
then arrange in an even layer on a baking
sheet or pan. Freeze until rm, then
transfer to a bag or container for longer
storage.
Both recipes also include a pinch of
salt. While not essential, the salt goes a
long way to heightening the natural
sweetness of the fruits.
WATERMELON LEMONADE
Start to nish: 5 minutes
Servings: 4
4 cups ice
4 cups watermelon chunks
1/3 cup lemon juice
2 tablespoons honey (sugar can be
substituted)
Pinch salt
In a blender, combine all ingredients.
Puree until smooth, about 1 minute. You
may need to stop the blender and stir the
ingredients once to ensure everything
blends evenly. Serve immediately. The
drink will separate some as it sits. Either
blend again or simply stir to combine.
Other frozen or fresh soft fruits
such as raspberries, strawberries,
bananas, peaches or grapes (especially
frozen grapes) also can be added
when blending. If so, you may need to
increase the amount of lemon juice to
balance the other avors.

In a food processor, combine all ingre-
dients. Process until very smooth, about
2 to 3 minutes. You may need to stop and
scrape the sides of the bowl once or
twice to ensure all of the fruit is
processed. Serve immediately.

Beat back-to-school blues with treats
Number of farmers
markets jumps 17 percent in 2010
When New Orleans chef Haley Bitterman prepares a spe-
cialty dinner or hankers after some soft shell crabs to fry at
home, she could just ask the giant purveyors who serve her
company to deliver a few extra. Instead, she visits the farmers
market.
Its really important to support the local farmers, says
Bitterman, corporate executive chef for The Ralph Brennan
Restaurant Groups six restaurants. Especially since Katrina,
we all really learned that we needed to come together as a com-
munity and support each other. And thats my part. I try to buy
product for the restaurant at the farmers market as well.
In part because of sentiment like that, the number of farm-
ers markets around the country has more than doubled during
the last decade, according to federal statistics. Last year alone,
the number of markets jumped 17 percent to 7,175.
In one form or another, farmers markets have been around
for quite a while. But culturally, the timing is right for growth.
Consumers are increasingly interested in eating locally and
sustainably produced foods. Government programs that chan-
nel funds to small farmers also have helped.
They are a way people can reconnect with agriculture, with
farmers, with how food is produced, says Kathleen Merrigan,
deputy agriculture secretary. Once farmers markets start pop-
ping up, people start to see this works, and they start replicat-
ing.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TARHOUNA, Libya Convoys of
Moammar Gadha loyalists, including his secu-
rity chief, ed across the Sahara into Niger on
Tuesday in a move that Libyas former rebels
hoped could help lead to the surrender of his last
strongholds.
Still, efforts to negotiate the peaceful handover
of one of the most crucial of those bastions, the
city of Bani Walid, proved difcult.
Tribal elders from Bani Walid who met
Tuesday with former rebels were confronted by
angry residents of the city, including Gadha
supporters, who red in the air and sent them
eeing, mediators said. Many in Bani Walid
remain deeply mistrustful of the forces that have
seized power in Libya and are reluctant to accept
their rule.
Some former rebels depicted the ight to
Niger as a major exodus of Gadhas most hard-
core backers. But conrmed information on the
number and identity of those leaving was scarce
as the convoy made its way across the vast swath
of desert over 1,000 miles between popu-
lated areas on the two sides of the border.
Gadha himself is not in the convoys, the U.S.
State Department said.
As the rst group of a dozen vehicles pulled
into Nigers capital, Niamey, a customs ofcial
said it included Mansour Dao, Gadhas securi-
ty chief and a key member of his inner circle, as
well as around 12 other Gadha regime ofcials.
The ofcial, Harouna Ide, told the Associated
Press other Libyan convoys had passed through
Agadez, a town about halfway between Nigers
border with Libya and its capital in the far south-
west.
The convoys included heavily armed contin-
gents of Tuareg tribal ghters from Niger, who
have long been enlisted as mercenaries for
Gadhas regime, Niger ofcials said. A Gadha
opponent said it was also carrying gold and cash
belonging to the regime.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NIAMEY, Niger A spokesman for the
president of Niger debunked media reports that
a convoy of over 200 military vehicles from
Libya had entered his country, saying only
three cars had crossed ferrying one senior
member of Moammar Gadhas entourage.
Massoudou Hassoumi, chief of staff of
President Mahamadou Issoufou, told The
Associated Press late Tuesday that his gov-
ernment had dispatched a convoy of its own
military vehicles to accompany Gadhas
security chief, Mansour Dao.
Dao crossed the border on Monday and
was escorted to Niamey, where Hassoumi
says he is being housed in a villa under sur-
veillance.
Hassoumi says witnesses reporting seeing
dozens of vehicles were confusing the vehi-
cles the Niger government had sent to escort
him with those that had come from Libya.

Family confirms U.S.
civilian death in Afghanistan
KABUL, Afghanistan An American
civilian working with the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers was kidnapped from his
Afghanistan power plant and strangled to
death, officials and family members said
Tuesday, a rare incident despite widespread
violence.
Carrie Hughes told the Associated Press
that military ofcers came to her house near
Charleston, South Carolina on Monday to
inform her that her father, James W. Will
Coker, had been killed.
It was not known who killed the American
worker or under what circumstances he was
abducted. Also Tuesday, the bodies of two
Germans who had apparently been murdered
were retrieved from a remote location. Neither
area is known to be a hotbed of militant activ-
ity.
Coker was the only the third Pentagon civil-
ian killed in 10 years of war in Afghanistan,
said Maj. Monica Matoush, a Defense
Department spokeswoman.
Palestinians resist U.S.
pressure on statehood bid
RAMALLAH, West Bank The
Palestinians on Tuesday said they would not
give in to American pressure to drop their bid
for statehood at the United Nations, taking a
tough position ahead of a meeting with a sen-
ior U.S. delegation.
Two senior White House envoys, David
Hale and Dennis Ross, arrived in the region
on Tuesday for talks with Israel and
Palestinian ofcials. The U.S. has been trying
to persuade the Palestinians to drop their plan
to ask the U.N. this month to approve their
independence and instead resume peace talks
with Israel.
Yasser Abed Rabbo, a top adviser to
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, said
there was little the Americans could do to
change the Palestinians plans.

Amistad and Audrey Ng are vying
for two four-year seats on the board.
Board President Mark Hudak opted not
to run for re-election. On Tuesday
afternoon, the candidates gathered at
the San Mateo Daily Journal office for
an endorsement interview during
which finances, raising student
achievement and ongoing issues asso-
ciated with growing enrollment were
discussed. Ultimately, for each candi-
date, most of the issues came back to
communication.
Communication is a goal of the
administration which is working under
new leadership with Superintendent
Cindi Simms a goal each spoke
highly as being possible.
Sullivan has already noted changes
like Simms sending out weekly updates
to trustees and district employees. Its a
step that excited Sullivan who noted
there was more work that could be
done. Sullivan was also disheartened
by ongoing issues with standards-
based report cards at the middle school,
which have created many issues within
the district. That point has created
many communication errors and is also
a problem Sullivan aims to fix if she
remains on the board.
Ng pointed to the fourth school con-
versation in Foster City as being an
example of the breakdown of commu-
nication.
For a few years now, the district has
been discussing increased enrollment
in Foster City which currently has
three elementary schools. A fourth ele-
mentary school was one possible solu-
tion, one which the district is still
exploring. The process, Ng said, wasnt
inclusive of the city, parents and all
others from the start which caused
major delays.
Building the fourth school will be an
ongoing issue for the board. Its been
working to find a location in Foster
City which will later be purchased
using Measure L funds a 2008 $175
million bond measure. Despite the
slow start, the trustee hopefuls
remained optimistic that moving ahead
would be smooth.
Funding the construction of the
school has been a question. Earlier this
year, the board put a $25 million bond
measure on the November ballot to
cover the costs. The measure, which
would have only gone before Foster
City residents, was pulled last month
since the district had yet to vet a possi-
ble location for the school. A bond
measure will most likely be the method
by which the district covers the costs
down the road. But who covers that
cost has been questioned.
Sullivan explained Measure L was so
recent, going for a bond funded by one
city had the most likelihood to pass.
She expected that wouldnt change if
the board went for another in the next
two years. Amistad agreed, adding it
would be hard to see San Mateo resi-
dents paying for construction of a
school which wouldnt serve its youth.
Ng added capacity issues are dis-
trictwide so it would make sense to cre-
ate a bond that built the new school and
added more classes on all campuses.
Such a measure, she added, would have
a lower tax rate because of the larger
number of taxed properties.
San Mateo-Foster City, being the
countys largest school district, has
also struggled with meeting the needs
of all students. It offers a variety of
school programs with different focuses
from a traditional school environment
to immersion programs.
Amistad suggested focusing on sum-
mer school options as a way to boost
academic achievement.
Sullivan wanted a combination of
programs that challenge children at dif-
ferent levels, not simply raising scores
of those who are struggling.
Ng proposed a variety of suggestions
like partnering with local businesses to
offer one-on-one tutoring for students
who need extra help. It gives business-
es a way to support the community and
the children extra attention without
additional cost, she said. Also, Ng used
the example of technology as a way to
bring children with different talents
together. Over the summer, Ngs fami-
ly worked together to develop their
own mobile app. The children helped
by reading up on the steps, creating the
music, the artwork and coding. Such a
challenge could be used to inspire a
curriculum in which kids work togeth-
er and learn, she said.

For example, PG&E has proposed a
safety overhaul of the system. Paying for
it could come through increased cus-
tomer fees.
[Customers] should not have to pay
for it, said Hill.
Hills bill bars recovering nes or
penalties in rates. It also requires utility
agencies who operate gas facilities to
prepare annual performance reports;
requires utility agencies to create public
education programs by Jan. 1, 2012;
requires gas pipeline work to be held to
higher seismic standards; requires estab-
lishment of minimum standards to
install either automatic and/or remote
shutoff valves; requires gas facilities to
be upgraded to accommodate state-of-
the-art inspections, including corrosion
inspection methods, by Jan. 1, 2020; and
prohibits a gas corporation from increas-
ing rates to cover its uninsured costs
from a re or other catastrophic event
that resulted from negligence by the util-
ity.
Mayor Jim Ruane stressed safety bills
of this manner are important in protect-
ing residents throughout the nation from
a similar tragedy.
I challenge those who wont support
this bill to visit us at this hole, he said.
Ruane felt strongly that the bill need-
ed to pass unanimously.
Hill also discussed two bills he plans
to introduce to increase protection of
whistleblowers and to create a safety
position within the California Public
Utilities Commission, which oversees
gas lines throughout the state. The latter,
Hill hopes, will make safety a priority.
A number of legislators have proposed
bills to increase safety on the state and
national level after the San Bruno incident.
Last week, 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.

CHANGE
WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 7, 2011
Your chart indicates some excellent potential for
increasing earning power in the year ahead. The
opportunity to do so will come about in an extremely
unusual way, which you miss out on if youre not
willing to try something new.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Do not take on an assign-
ment that must be completed today if youre not sure
you can do it in time. Its better to be honest up front
rather than make yourself look bad by falling short.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Youll not mind helping
out another as long as the act is voluntary. Being
manipulated by another to do his or her bidding,
however, is likely to make you extremely resentful.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Keep your obligations
to friends in proper perspective. Dont rush to help
someone you want to impress but who has done
nothing for you, while ignoring a pal to whom youre
truly indebted.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- If success eludes
you, it isnt likely to be because youre unwilling to
work hard. It may be due to the fact that your focus
is more on fun and games than on your obligations.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Its never smart to
debate philosophical issues because there is no solv-
ing them. Chances are each side can get too emotion-
ally involved and end up exchanging bitter words.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Parity will be required
in order for a joint endeavor to be successful. If
youre not willing to give as much as the other guy
or gal puts toward a project, dont get involved in the
frst place.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Be honest about your
lack of know-how instead of trying to tackle something
you cant possibly handle. Youll only embarrass yourself.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You could easily thwart
your own purposes by being unduly aggressive. Slow
down and take it easy because trying too hard can
be as ineffective as not trying at all.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Understate your sales
pitch and let the listener fll in the blanks with what
they want. Sometimes a soft sell is the most effective
weapon in your arsenal.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Just because someone
is a good friend is not reason enough to ask fnancial
advice from him or her. Make sure the person you go
to has the experience to advise you wisely.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Put your mind in gear
before you open your mouth and start talking. If you
dont, all kinds of things could come out, such as
some ill-chosen words that would offend whomever
hears them.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- One of your favorite friends,
whos always in a fnancial bind, might hit on you
once again to bail him or her out. Its time to put
limits on how much and how often you can do so.

Weve been so excited before
about a project and then been so dis-
appointed, said Councilwoman
Pam Frisella.
More than a year ago, the
Mirabella retirement community
project planned for the site fell
through, leaving residents who
already paid deposits in the lurch,
along with the lands fate.
Last night, two of three develop-
ers approached by the city for pro-
posals offered up their ideas for
how to mix senior and affordable
housing with retail, community
gathering space and connections to
the existing community.
Village Square is the vision of
Sares-Regis in conjunction with
Northern California Presbyterian
Homes and Services, Mercy
Housing and Bank of
America/Merrill Lynch.
Sares-Regis wants to acquire the
land outright rather than craft a
lease agreement, said Jeff Birdwell,
president of commercial develop-
ment for Sares-Regis.
Village Square would include a
senior living community with three
levels of care, a memory care center
and rich amenities for seniors 70
and older. Both independent and
assisted living facilities would share
the site with affordable housing and
multiple retail outlets. An arrival
courtyard for vehicle drop-offs
would sit in the middle and the var-
ious elements would be connected
through walkways and plazas dot-
ted with trees, sculptures and out-
door seating.
The senior community develop-
ment would also be good for the
city, creating a projected 125 full-
time equivalent jobs and 150 actual
positions, said David Berg, vice
president of Northern California
Presbyterian Homes & Services.
Village Square would be a sec-
ond place for people to visit, with
open space, outdoor seating and
anchored by a top organic grocer
like Sprouts Farmers Market, said
Jeff Newstead, president of
Portfolio which is working on retail
and restaurant options for the site.
Looking at pictures of other
developments by the various
groups, Frisella was concerned
about variances in the offerings and
said she didnt want something that
looked cheap or included plastic
tablecloths.
We want to maintain our
lifestyle as we are used to it in
Foster City, she said.
The Community Partners plan,
which includes a retail town square,
seeks to leverage existing assets like
Leo J. Ryan Park and look at ve
projects that are complementary
rather than one big development
that might be more difficult to
nance, said Ian Gillis, president of
Urban Community Partners.
But while the projects may be
broken out, Gillis said the retail
component will fall under one
vision and all facilities will include
construction that favors the sun and
shields the wind.
Unlike the large anchor store pro-
posed by Sares-Regis, the plan
includes boutiques and smaller
stores like wine and paper shops.
Councilman Rick Wykoff ques-
tioned Gillis about the ve separate-
ly owned projects, asking if that
was really an integrated develop-
ment, and to dene the focus.
Gillis said both the housing and
retail are equal. He also said small-
er nancing plans for each compo-
nent rather than for one big project
is one of his proposals strengths.
Key design elements include
promenades and gateways to Foster
Citys main streets radiating out
from the town center and with an
emphasis on safety and accessibili-
ty.
The road to develop the 15-acre
site has been far from smooth.
Part of the land was originally
set aside by T. Jack Foster to build
a high school but the city decided
long ago the property would better
serve the citys aging population.
A developer was set to build senior
housing on the site last year but
could not secure the money needed
to construct the project. Pacific
Retirement Services started return-
ing about $600,000 in deposits in
February 2010 to families and
individuals who signed up to live
in its Mirabella retirement com-
munity. PRSs exclusive develop-
ment deal with the city fell apart,
though, because it could not
secure the $300 million in financ-
ing to build even the first phase of
the project.
The council made no decisions
last night but culled information to
be used at a later vote on Oct. 3. On
Sept. 19, the council will meet in
closed session to pencil out the
nancial and business terms for the
lease or sale of the 15-acre property.
The council and city staff may also

BANGKOK Asian stock mar-
kets rebounded Wednesday as
traders looked past bleak U.S. jobs
data and Europes debt crisis to
scoop up bargains following a
steep sell-off.
Oil prices lingered above $86 per
barrel. The dollar rose against the
yen but slipped against the yen.
Japans Nikkei 225 index, which
on Tuesday fell to its lowest level
since April 2009, rose 1.7 percent
to 8,734.42. A slightly softer yen
helped Japans powerhouse export
sector recover from the beating it
took earlier this week.
Mazda Motor Corp. jumped 3.4
percent, and Sony Corp. gained 2.7
percent. Toyota Motor Corp. rose
2.2 percent.
Markets received further good
news when the Australian govern-
ment said the economy expanded
1.2 percent in the quarter through
June, rebounding from a 0.9 per-
cent contraction in the previous
three months. Australias
S&P/ASX 200 gained 2.3 percent
at 4,168.10.
South Koreas Kospi clawed
back the prior days losses to rise
2.7 percent at 1,814.60. Blue chip
high-tech stocks were among those
leading the way. Hynix
Semiconductor, the worlds sec-
ond-largest memory chip maker,
soared 7.4 percent. LG Electronics
Inc., which ranks No. 2 globally in
flat screen televisions, was 8.1 per-
cent higher.
Peter Lai, director of DBS
Vickers in Hong Kong, said
investors were bargain-hunting for
deals in commodities, the retail
sector and industries favored by
the Chinese government, like
infrastructure.
Retailing shares in Asia also are
attractive, Lai said, because gov-
ernments in the region have been
trying to persuade their traditional-
ly thrifty populations to spend
rather than save. GOME Electrical
Appliance Holdings, Chinas
largest appliances retailer, jumped
4.4 percent.
Asians traditionally are big
savers. This is why Asian countries
have been encouraging people to
convert part of their saving power
into spending power, he said.
Gold prices, meanwhile, backed
off recent all-time highs, causing
gold shares to decline. Newcrest
Mining Ltd., Australias top gold
miner, lost 0.8 percent.
A wave of negative sentiment
slammed global stock markets last
Friday, when a government report
said the U.S. economy failed to
add any new jobs in August. It was
the worst reading on jobs since
September 2010.
But signs of growth in the U.S.
service sector helped tame con-
cerns about another U.S. recession.
The Institute for Supply
Management said Tuesday that the
service sector grew more than ana-
lysts had expected in August.
Growth in that part of the econo-
my, which employs nearly 90 per-
cent of Americas work force, fell
the three previous months.

fades, bargains sought
