THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON Employers added no
jobs in August an alarming setback for the
economy that renewed fears of another reces-
sion and raised pressure on Washington to end
the hiring standstill.
Worries ared Friday after the release of the
worst jobs report since September 2010. Total
payrolls were unchanged, the rst time since
1945 that the government reported a net job
change of zero. The unemployment rate
stayed at 9.1 percent.
The dismal news two day before Labor Day
sent stocks plunging. The Dow Jones industri-
al average fell 253 points, or more than 2 per-
cent.
Analysts say the economy cannot continue
to expand unless hiring picks up. In the rst
six months of 2011, growth was measured at
an annual rate of 0.7 percent.
Companies are mostly keeping their pay-
rolls intact. Theyre not laying off many work-
ers. But theyre not hiring, either. Without
more jobs to fuel consumer spending, econo-
mists say another recession would be
inevitable. Consumer spending accounts for
about 70 percent of economic growth.
Like a wobbling bicycle, you either reac-
celerate or you fall over, said James
OSullivan, chief economist at MF Global.
Something has to give.
When growth is slow and unemployment
high, companies feel little pressure to increase
pay and benets. In August, for instance,
hourly wages fell.

Seeing a vulture is usually perceived
as a bad omen, but the bald-headed scav-
engers are an ecologically vital group of
birds currently facing a range of threats
that could lead to global extinction.
Vultures feed on carrion as part of
natures cleanup crew, and they are an
important asset to the worlds ecosys-
tem. In recent years, their population has
plummeted due to viruses from carcass-
es, habitat destruction and poaching.
Because of the growing threat to vul-
tures, CuriOdyssey in San Mateo was
inspired to join nearly 100 zoos and
wildlife centers across the globe to par-
ticipate in International Vulture
Awareness Day today.
We want people to be appreciative of
animals that arent necessarily the cutest
or fuzziest people generally want to love
or appreciate, said Melanie Echanique,
a 13-year animal programs keeper at
CuriOdyssey. Vultures are important
animals to have around, and we should
acknowledge their place in the animal
kingdom.

End summer with a hike
By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
A day at the beach in San Mateo
County usually comes with a cool
breeze and beautiful scenery.
Add a little exercise to the next
outing by visiting the countys latest
acquisition the 140-acre Pillar
Point Bluff near Moss Beach.
Interestingly, its not a new parcel of
land which people can explore. In
fact, those familiar with the area
may not notice a difference. Those
who havent taken the drive up
Highway 1 may nd an untapped
jewel in the property formerly over-
seen by the Peninsula Open Space
Trust.
With multiple trail heads, the hike
can begin on pretty even land or a
bit of an uphill hike. The uphill
option which is where you would
start if using the directions at the
end of this story isnt too strenu-
ous.
Dirt trails combine over the parcel
to give you numerous options for a
leisurely hike with friends two-
legged or furry four-legged ones.
One could walk on a rather large
loop or take a detour on the Jean
Lauer Trail, which intersects the
Fourth arrest
in Half Moon
Bay shooting
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
A fourth suspect in a recent Half Moon Bay
shooting was arrested Thursday night along
with his father who sheriffs deputies say tried
to stop them from taking his son into custody.
Mason Paul Wessel, 19, of Half Moon Bay
was booked into the Maguire Correctional
Facility on suspicion of attempted murder and
the allegation he was acting on behalf of a
criminal street gang.
His father, David Paul Wessel, 54, also of
Half Moon Bay, was arrested for obstructing a
peace ofcer but later cited and released at the
scene.
Sheriffs detectives apprehended the young
Wessel at 6:50 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 1 after
spotting him leaving a car on the 200 block of
Hyde street where his father has an apartment.
The older Wessel was actually driving the
vehicle carrying his son and allegedly tried to
block the detectives from arresting the teen.
Wessels arrest comes on the heels of three
others suspected in the Aug. 14 shooting that
authorities believe to be gang related.
HEATHER MURTAGH/DAILY JOURNAL
Want to hike? From Half Moon Bay, go north on Highway 1 for six miles. After passing the Half Moon
Bay Airport, turn left onto Cypress Avenue. After 0.3 miles, turn left onto Airport Street, and continue
for 0.9 miles. A parking lot and the Jean Lauer Trail staging area will be on the right. See ARREST, Page 24

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
The San Carlos tutor accused of
fondling and sending nude photos to a
friends 10-year-old daughter who he
tutored waived a preliminary hearing on
the evidence and is heading straight to
trial on a dozen counts of child molesta-
tion and sending harmful matter.
Yung Chi Chu, 46, faces up to 30
years in prison and registration as a sex
offender if convicted.
On Friday, Chu opted against having
the prosecution justify its case in a pre-
liminary hearing. He returns to court
Sept. 21 to enter a Superior Court plea
and set a trial date.
Authorities began
investigating Chu,
who formerly
worked as an infor-
mation technology
technician for the
Menlo Park City
Elementary School
District, last fall
after the girls par-
ents grew concerned she was receiving
hundreds of cellphone calls and text
messages from Chu, often between 10
p.m. and 3 a.m.
Prosecutors say Chu fondled the girl
on multiple occasions and sent her pho-
tos of naked men. He allegedly also
asked the girl to send him nude photos
of herself but she refused. Police arrest-
ed at home on a $250,000 warrant.
He is charged with 12 counts of lewd
and lascivious behavior with a minor
under 14, one count of sending harmful
matter with the intent of seducing a
minor and another of communicating
with a minor with intent to commit a
lewd offense.
He is free from custody on $250,000
cash bail.

SACRAMENTO Californias annual
re-protection fee on rural property owners
would rise from a maximum of $150 to a min-
imum of $175 under legislation proposed
Friday by Gov. Jerry Brown, who is seeking to
x a law he signed less than two months ago.
He also wants to ensure the revenue can be
used by the Department of Forestry and Fire
Protection. The Associated Press reported last
month that the law could end up draining $50
million from the states reghting budget this
year, and as much as $200 million in future
years, unless the wording
was changed.
The state fire board
voted last month to charge
no more than $90, which
would reduce the revenue
the state had been expect-
ing.
AB1x24, carried by
Assemblyman Bob
Blumenfield, D-Sherman
Oaks, would require a fee
of at least $175 on structures within the
states responsibility area, plus another $25 for
each additional structure on the property.

Commission on disabilities celebrates anniversary
The San Mateo County Commission on Disabilities is cele-
brating its 20th anniversary by inviting the public to a free dis-
ability awareness fair and classic car show next weekend.
The commission and Board of Supervisors is teaming up
with the Golden State Rods Car Club to mark the occasion.
Its a unique way for the general public to learn about peo-
ple with disabilities and the services and organizations that
help support their independence and involvement in the com-
munity, said Supervisor Carole Groom in a prepared state-
ment.
The commission, which was established Sept. 10, 1991, rep-
resents an estimated 15 percent of San Mateo County residents
living with developmental, physical, mental, sensory and other
disabilities. The commission provides opportunities for the
disabled to participate in, and inuence the development of,
public policy which promotes full integration in the communi-
ty. The commission promotes programs, reports on the avail-
ability and accessibility of community services and provides
direct input on disability issues to the Board of Supervisors.
The fair and car show is 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 10
in the TGI Fridays parking lot, 3101 S. El Camino Real, San
Mateo across from Hillsdale Shopping Center.
STATE GOVERNMENT
On a 22-12 vote, the state Senate
Friday approved legislation that
would hold corporations accountable
for job creation promises in exchange
for tax breaks. SB 364, authored by
state Sen. Leland Yee, D-San
Francisco/San Mateo, would require
all future tax breaks related to job cre-
ation to have clear goals and performance measures. If a cor-
poration failed to meet those promises, the state could recoup
the tax credit.
Gov. Jerry Brown will have until Oct. 9 to sign or veto the
measure.
CITY GOVERNMENT
The Foster City Council will hear presentations from
two land development rms on ideas for a 15-acre parcel
adjacent to the government center. The council will not take
any action. Each presentation will last approximately 45
minutes followed by a 15-minutes question and answer ses-
sion conducted by the City Council. Sares Regis begins its
presentation at 7:15 p.m.; Foster City Community
Partners begins its presentation at 8:30 p.m.
The City Council meets 7 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 6 at City
Hall, 610 Foster City Boulevard.
Redwood City this week released a request for qualica-
tions aimed at prospective developers for Depot Circle.
Depot Circle is the project city ofcials envision for the area
known as Block 2 which is a city parking lot on Middleeld
Road adjacent to the Redwood City Caltrain station and the
Winslow parking lot across the street. Ofcials want a new
gateway for downtown and say this is the next step in the
areas redevelopment. The plan is for an elegant trafc cir-
cle surrounded possibly by medium-rise buildings that
could house residential, ofce and retail space or a boutique
hotel.
The RFQ has been sent to a number of developers but is
also available online at www.redwoodcity.org. The deadline
is Oct. 17 and interviews with selected rms will happen in
late November. A recommendation of a developer for an
exclusive right to negotiate agreement would come to the
City Council in mid-December with a completed agreement
in February 2012 and project completion within two to three
years from that point.
The San Carlos Economic Development Advisory
Commission will discuss a short list of businesses the city
may wish to attract. EDAC previously discussed lists based
on sales tax and consumer analysis and has further shortened
the possibilities based on whether the companies are expand-
ing in California and have nearby outlets.
The Economic Development Advisory Commission meets
4 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 6 in City Council Chambers, 600 Elm
St., San Carlos.

SACRAMENTO California law-
makers have revived a bill that would
give juveniles sentenced to life in prison
a chance to be set free.
The Assembly approved amendments
to SB9 on Friday after failing to pass it
last week. Those amendments make
inmates who had tor-
tured their victims or
killed public safety
ofcials ineligible for
a shorter sentence.
The revised bill
will return for anoth-
er vote next week.
R e p u b l i c a n
Assemblyman Tim
Donnelly of
Hesperia says the amendments take a
horrible idea and make it slightly less
horrible.
The bill by Democratic Sen. Leland
Yee of San Francisco/San Mateo gives
juvenile offenders a chance to reduce
their life sentence if a judge decides they
show evidence of remorse and make
efforts toward rehabilitation.
California has 290 inmates serving life
terms after being convicted as juveniles.

No one was hurt in the blast around
12:30 p.m. Wednesday, but the
California Public Utilities
Commission launched an investigation
that is being watched closely by inves-
tigators at the National Transportation
Safety Board.
The board already blasted PG&E ear-
lier this week, citing a series of mis-
steps the utility made that resulted in a
Sept. 9 blast in San Bruno that claimed
eight lives and burned a neighborhood
to the ground.
Given recent issues with PG&E, the
NTSB is doing a detailed collection of
data related to Wednesdays explo-
sion, board spokesman Keith
Holloway said. We will be looking for
any commonalities with other PG&E
incidents and should we find any, we
will be prepared to take appropriate
actions.
The explosion on Wednesday occurred
on distribution lines, the smaller pipes
that deliver gas to homes from larger
transmission lines, like the one that blew
in San Bruno.
Dennis Johnson, the chief re inspec-
tor for Santa Clara County Fire, said the
explosion was likely sparked by the pilot
ame of the homes furnace. He said the
resulting explosion was strong enough to
blow off the garage door.
Feds look into another PG&E explosion
One person is dead and another
injured after an explosion at a technolo-
gy company in Menlo Park, authorities
said Friday.
The explosion at Membrane
Technology Inc. happened in a laborato-
ry inside the building when a scientist
was transferring a mixture of several
gases from one cylinder to another
around 4:15 p.m., said Menlo Park Fire
Chief Harold Schapelhouman.
The person killed in the blast was an
employee who was transferring the mix-
ture. After the explosion his co-workers
pulled him into the parking lot, where he
died of his injuries, according to
Schapelhouman.
Authorities have not determined what
caused the blast.
Something went very wrong obvi-
ously with the premixture of these
gases, Schapelhouman said.
The name of the person killed in the
explosion has not been released.
One woman standing near the door-
way was blown clear of the laboratory.
She has been taken to a hospital for
treatment of possible ear drum injuries,
Schapelhouman said.
The 23 other people who work in the
building were evacuated.
Hazmat crews entered the building
shortly after the blast, but there was no
risk to people working or living in the
area, according to Schapelhouman.

LOS ANGELES High surf will
continue to pound California beaches
into the Labor Day weekend, forecasters
warned Friday, and crowds celebrating
the last summer holiday were urged to
watch out for dangerous rip currents.
The National Weather Service extended
high surf advisories through Sunday
night, warning that 6- to 8-foot waves,
with occasional 10-foot sets, would hit the
coast from San Francisco to San Diego.
Beachgoers were urged to swim only near
lifeguard towers or to stay on the sand.
Have a good time watching the waves
but stay out of the water if youre not
experienced, National Weather Service
forecaster Eric Boldt said.
The rough surf was caused by the
swell from a powerful storm in New
Zealand, where it is winter.
It had 50-foot waves down there
when it was going at its peak. The ener-
gy came up here, Boldt said.
On Thursday, the powerful surf likely
forced a smuggling boat to crash on a
Southern California beach where more
than 500 pounds of marijuana washed
ashore, authorities said.

Jail cuts visiting hours
The Sheriffs Ofce announced Thursday it is cutting one
day of public visiting hours at the mens jail as ofcials wres-
tle with budget and stafng cuts and prepare for an inux of
state prisoners next month.
With six legal office specialists employed at Maguire
Correctional Facility chopped, Sheriff Greg Munks said he had
to trim Wednesday
visiting hours and
prioritize mandatory
services like pro-
cessing booking,
bail and court sched-
uling.
Im sensitive to
visiting and dont
take the cuts lightly, but somethings got to give, Munks said.
As we lose these positions we have to stop doing certain
things.
Feds harsh on utility over San Bruno pipeline blast
Organizational failures on the part of Pacic Gas and
Electric like unclear emergency response plans, lack of doc-
umentation and not having completed safety tests led to and
compounded the fatal gas-fueled explosion in San Bruno last
year, according to an NTSB report released Tuesday morning.
Nearly a year after the Sept. 9 fatal failure of a 30-inch nat-
ural gas transmission pipeline in the Glenview neighborhood,
the National Transportation and Safety Board released its nal
report about the event. Among the discoveries were multiple
deciencies with the pipe as well as within PG&E, the compa-
ny that oversaw the gas line. Shortly after 6 p.m. Sept. 9, loss
of power at a Milpitas plant set off a chain of events that result-
ed in a large crack in the line under the San Bruno neighbor-
hood.
Schools get report card
Forty-three percent of schools in California, compared to
58.3 percent in San Mateo County, are meeting academic
assessment goals, according to the 2011 academic perform-
ance report released by the California Department of
Education Tuesday morning.
The APR, which consists of three separate reports, is an
annual report card for every school in the state. Scores leveled
off and in some cases decreased. In California, 43 percent of
schools are meeting the target, which translates to 55 percent
of elementary schools, 43 percent of middle schools and 28
percent of high schools scoring above 800 points. In San
Mateo County, 58.3 percent of schools are at or above the pro-
cient mark, however, not everyone is making the grade.

WASHINGTON In a dramatic
reversal, President Barack Obama on
Friday scrubbed a clean-air regulation
that aimed to reduce health-threatening
smog, yielding to bitterly protesting
businesses and congressional
Republicans who complained the rule
would kill jobs in Americas ailing econ-
omy.
Withdrawal of the proposed regulation
marked the latest in a string of retreats
by the president in the face of GOP
opposition, and it drew quick criticism
from liberals. Environmentalists, a key
Obama constituency, accused him of
caving to corporate polluters, and the
American Lung Association threatened
to restart the legal action it had begun
against rules proposed by President
George W. Bush.
The White House has been under
heavy pressure from
GOP lawmakers and
major industries,
which have slammed
the stricter standard
as an unnecessary
jobs killer. The
E n v i r o n me n t a l
Protection Agency,
whose scientific
advisers favored the
tighter limits, had predicted the pro-
posed change would cost up to $90 bil-
lion a year, making it one of the most
expensive environmental regulations
ever imposed in the U.S.
However, the Clean Air Act bars the
EPA from considering the costs of com-
plying when setting public health stan-
dards.
Obama said his decision was made in
part to reduce regulatory burdens and
uncertainty at a time of rampant ques-
tions about the strength of the U.S.
economy. Underscoring the economic
concerns: a new report Friday that
showed the economy essentially adding
no jobs in August and the unemploy-
ment rate stubbornly stuck at 9.1 per-
cent.
The regulation would have reduced
concentrations of ground-level ozone,
the main ingredient in smog, a powerful
lung irritant that can cause asthma and
other lung ailments. Smog is created
when emissions from cars, power and
chemical plants, reneries and other fac-
tories mix in sunlight and heat.
Republican lawmakers, already
emboldened by Obamas concessions on
extending Bush-era tax cuts and his
agreement to more than $1 trillion in
spending reductions as the price for rais-
ing the nations debt ceiling, had
pledged to try to block the stricter smog
standards as well as other EPA regula-
tions when they returned to Washington
after Labor Day.

TAMPA, Fla. Republican presi-
dential candidate Mitt Romney told an
enthusiastic crowd of Hispanic
Republicans on Friday that they are
living proof of the benefits of legal
immigration, but said he wanted to
toughen enforcement on illegal immi-
gration.
Romney, who discussed the economy
and immigration at a meeting of the
Republican National Hispanic
Assembly of Florida, promised that he
would secure the borders if elected.
I am a great proponent of legal
immigration, he
said. Our country
must do a better job
of securing its bor-
ders and as president,
I will.
Romney also said
the federal govern-
ment must get
tough on employers
who hire illegal
immigrants and said that when he was
Massachusetts governor, he vetoed leg-
islation that would have provided in-
state tuition rates to illegal immigrants
and beefed up the powers of state troop-
ers to enforce immigration laws.

A 6.8 quake prompts

munity of 61 residents located about
1,200 miles southwest of Anchorage.
In Atka, they had a little bump of a

OPINION 9
Cargills new downtown
Editor,
The Redwood City Downtown
Business Directory 2011, co-published
by The Spectrum Magazine and the city
of Redwood City, is a wonderful publi-
cation supported by the Downtown
Redwood City Business Group. It
includes a guide and advertisements for
the great variety of businesses and
entertainment activities downtown.
I was surprised to see the directory
includes a full-page ad for
Cargill/DMBs proposed Saltworks
Project. This ad actually describes a
new Saltworks downtown with retail
shops, restaurants, ofce space and resi-
dential homes, and the drawing in the
ad even looks like our real downtown
Redwood City. It seems the Downtown
Redwood City Business Group and the
city are shooting themselves in the foot
by promoting Saltworks. The citys own
initial study for Saltworks says this
project could redirect growth from the
citys downtown to the project site,
potentially affecting implementation of
the precise plan for Redwood Citys
downtown core area. This same study
also says that Saltworks could have
potentially signicant impacts on our
existing parks, local and regional trafc
and our Port and Seaport industries.
The Saltworks ad in the downtown
directory is another example of how our
city leaders are supporting Cargill and
DMB in their quest to turn our town
into Saltworks City. They are promoting
a project that poses a serious threat to
the success of Redwood Citys
Downtown Plan, and the economic and
environmental health of our community.
Our leaders should focus on the down-
town we already have.

Unprovoked attack
on a public transit customer
Editor,
In response to article Time served
for Caltrain attack of the Aug. 31 edi-
tion of the Daily Journal, Thomas
Nicholas Furman, 19, was sentenced to
260 days in county jail plus three years
probation. His co-defendant, Damar
Desen Walker, 20, is scheduled for trial
Jan. 30, 2012.
On March 4, 2011, a Friday at 7:30
p.m. in Redwood City, the victim was
waiting in the Caltrain and SamTrans
structure where you can by tickets and
also sit and wait for buses or trains,
right next to the tall building with the
clock. This area is known as Sequoia
Station. There are no security cameras
here. This victim was severely beaten
and robbed by a reported group of nine
to 15 people, almost like a ash mob.
Thank god for the pizza parlor, that had
security cameras.
We need to send a message to our
district attorney, Steve Wagstaffe, and
our judges. We want this type of crime
punished, period.
Question to the readers, How many
of you even knew about this vicious
and unprovoked attack on a customer
waiting at the Caltrain/SamTrans facili-
ty?

Reply to Spending and
economic health in America
Editor,
Mike Caggianos letter Spending
and economic health in America, in
the Aug. 29 edition of the Daily Journal
is exactly right: Amnesia about what
works and what does not is an
inevitable part of the human condition.
That includes himself, and in his case
the amnesia is selective.
He forgot unemployment never
dipped below double digits under FDR.
As Henry Morgenthau, President
Roosevelts Secretary of the Treasury,
said in May 1939, We are spending
more money than we have ever spent
before, and it does not work. After
eight years, we have just as much
unemployment as when we started, and
an enormous debt to boot. Sound
familiar? Other than the fact that
President Obama has only been in
ofce for three years, this quote could
be right out of todays headlines.
This brings to mind another quote,
Those who fail to learn from history
are doomed to repeat it.
I will not dwell on Mr. Caggianos
menu of offered solutions including
printing money, taxing the rich, stop-
ping wars and the rest. However, I will
be glad to discuss sicj propositions
with him one at a time, with the condi-
tion that we discuss based on data,
facts and reasoning, rather than just
feelings and emotion.
That said, there is at least one major
difference between President
Roosevelts time and ours. Whether
you liked Roosevelts policies or not,
he was undeniably a leader. He gave
the country direction and moral
strength at a time of suffering and
duress. Sadly, President Obama is not
such a leader, and we suffer all the
more as a result. The question to pon-
der is that, given the lack of leadership
in his resume and his undistinguished
record as a legislator, why did we
expect anything different?

Letters to the editor
Marietta (Ga.) Daily Journal
P
resident Barack Obama has
been shooting mostly blanks
when it comes to nding ways
to re-ignite the stalled economy. And
his latest proposal the creation of an
infrastructure bank to loan money to
nance public works projects would
not only be more of the same, but
would target taxpayers as well.
The president unveiled his latest
brainstorm while in the midst of his
campaign swing through Iowa just
before embarking on his vacation in
Marthas Vineyard, Mass. In essence,
his infrastructure bank would be a
new federal entity that would make
loans to support interstate highway, rail
and other construction projects that
have regional or national scope. ...
Obama seems to be trying to channel
FDR, who tried without success to
spend the country out of the Great
Depression with an array of public
works projects. It was not until the out-
break of World War II that the economy
suddenly was back on its feet, thanks to
the overwhelming need for armaments
and munitions.
Obama and his allies, like Sen. John
Kerry, D-Mass., foresee the bank being
modeled along the lines of Fannie Mae
and Freddie Mac i.e., a government-
run nancial institution in which politi-
cally powerful bureaucrats decide who
gets loans. Equally important, they
decide who is required to repay the
loans and which borrowers have
their loans forgiven.
Kerry has said that Obamas bank
will nance economically viable proj-
ects without political inuence.
Weve all heard of Bostons Big
Dig. Well, Kerrys comment can go
down as The Big Bull...
We dont need Stimulus Part II and
we dont need a quasi-governmental
investment bank. Our economy has a
better chance of righting itself on its
own.
Obamas infrastructure bank
Remembering
unions on Labor Day
I
t was surprising when, after the brutal frontal assaults by
the newly elected Republican governors that in a polling
this week 52 percent still look upon and admire the union
movements.
And, why not? Heres a short
list of what they were instrumen-
tal in achieving: An end to child
labor, especially preteens in the
mines. Establishment of the
eight-hour work day and paid
overtime. Workers compensation
benets for those injured on the
job. Unemployment insurance for
workers who lose their jobs. A
guaranteed minimum wage (that
Bachmann wants to wipe out).
Improvement of workplace safety
and reduction of job fatalities.
Pensions and health care insur-
ance for workers. Crucial support
for the Civil Right Acts and Title VII which outlaws job dis-
crimination based on race, color, religion, sex or national origin.
But, most important of all, it enlarged a struggling, low-
income working class into the greatest and most expansive mid-
dle class in the world.

It was actually Lenin who said that if you tell a lie often
enough, it becomes accepted as a truth.
So lets examine the big lie, by implication, thats being told
to the American voters by the conservatives and the FOX-
Limbaugh spin machines about President Obama and the
$14.3 trillion decit.
According to the Department of the Treasury, Financial
Management Service, Bureau of the Public Debt, Federal
Reserve Bank of New York, Ofce of Management and Budget,
published April 10: The $2.4 trillion added during President
Obamas term (2009-11) has been due mostly to unfunded
wars, stimulus programs and tax cuts for the rich initiated dur-
ing the George W. Bush administration and the effects of the
2007 recession. Spending had increased dramatically under
Bush and Obama has not really added much new. If there is
possibly, new unfunded costs due to spending on the Health
Care Reform Bill, it would not show up until 2014, if it sur-
vives.
But what the heck? So many conservatives, and those who
believe them, hate Obama so much, its an unchallenged slam
dunk upon him.
From 2001-09, George W. Bush was the biggest spender,
ever, with $6.1 trillion due to those tax cuts for the rich and
unfunded wars he and Vice President Dick Cheney dropped on
the unsuspecting taxpayers, as well as the economic downturn
in 2001 and the Great Recession that began on their watch in
2007.
But, the word from Republican National Committee: Conceal
all that and have the spin boys blame it all on Obama.
Poor Bill Clinton (1993-2001). Despite two years of his on-
budget surpluses, decit spending from the previous years
dropped a $1.4 trillion decit on his term.
George Bush, the father (1989-93), added $1.5 trillion more
with the unfunded rst Gulf War and lower revenue from a
recession during his term, for which he was not responsible.
Ronald Reagan (1981-89) gave us $1.9 trillion with his
unfunded peacetime defense spending and the permanent tax
cuts he hoped would force reductions in social spending.
Before 1980, there was a $1 trillion decit from spending on
past wars and economic downturns.
But theres more: What happened to jobs under the policies
of Bush? We were losing lots of jobs every month, and it was
getting worse and worse. But what happened to jobs when the
Obama stimulus went into effect? We stopped losing jobs and
started gaining jobs, and it was getting better and better, until
the stimulus started to wind down and job creation leveled off,
as honest economists warned would happen because it was at
too low a level in the rst place, due to the Republicans in the
Congress stunting full efforts, politically.
There are other fantasies the conservatives and the lie
machines want you to believe: Businesses will hire if they get
tax cuts. Well, Obama went along with that myth and what hap-
pened? There is no denial that these alleged job creators are
not only still exporting American jobs, but are, yet, holding
hostage $2.5 trillion they have not used to create American
jobs. If the conservatives have tricked you into thinking that
Obama has made things worse, go back to what they were doing
before Obama tax cuts for the rich, deregulation of the impor-
tant industries and giving Wall Street all that it wants, the prob-
lem creators in the rst place. But what the heck! We all know
hes a foreign born, Muslim, commie-socialist, so dump it all on
him. George W. has had enough criticism, already, poor thing!
Im not going to reproduce the charts. Anyone who is fair-
minded can easily look up the truth on the Internet. But, the
political spin machines dont want you to do that. They want
you to be persuaded by their talking points and bumper stickers.
So, Im alerting my editor to expect a number of attack letters
for my telling of the truth.

NEW YORK Stocks plunged
Friday after a dismal report on the job
market renewed fears of another reces-
sion.
No jobs were added in the U.S. last
month, the government said early
Friday. It was the worst report in 11
months. The unemployment rate held
steady at 9.1 percent. It has been above
9 percent in all but two months since
May 2009.
Its certainly ugly, said Jeff
Kleintop, chief market strategist at LPL
Financial. Kleintop said the report did-
nt change his view that the economy
was headed for a stretch of weak eco-
nomic growth, not a recession.
Treasury yields fell sharply and gold
jumped $48 an ounce as cash owed
into investments seen as less risky than
stocks. Overseas markets followed U.S.
stocks lower. They were already lower
on reports that talks between Greece and
international lenders over that countrys
debt crisis were breaking down.
The Dow Jones industrial average
dropped 260 points, or 2.3 percent, to
11,234 at 3:15 p.m. EST. All 30 stocks
in the Dow fell. Bank of America Corp.
fell the most, 8 percent.
The Standard & Poors 500 index fell
30, or 2.5 percent, to 1,173. The Nasdaq
composite index fell 73, or 2.9 percent,
to 2,473.
The losses wiped out most of this
weeks gains. The Dow was at for the
week and the S&P 500 was up just 0.2
percent. Stock indexes rose last week
for the rst time in ve weeks.
Volume was thin ahead of the holiday
weekend. Stocks fell Thursday, break-
ing a four-day rally.
The weakness of the Labor
Departments closely watched jobs
report surprised investors. Previously
reported job addition gures for June
and July were also revised lower. The
average work week declined and hourly
earnings fell.
Kleintop said the jobs report was like-
ly skewed by unusual events that may
have made employers reluctant to add
jobs. The Labor Departments report
relies on data collected from surveys of
households and businesses in the second
week of August. Thats right after
Standard & Poors removed the coun-
trys AAA credit rating and fears mount-
ed that Europes banking crisis could
spread to the U.S. Television screens
were filled with images of riots in
London.

Big movers

NEW YORK Oil prices fell Friday
along with the prospects for global eco-
nomic growth as the government report-
ed the economy added no jobs last
month.
Benchmark crude fell $2.48, or 2.8
percent, to nish at $86.45 after the
Labor Department said employers
stopped adding jobs in July. The unem-
ployment rate remained at 9.1 percent.
The U.S. jobs report follows a weak
manufacturing report from China and
concerns that the lingering debt crisis in
Europe continues to hold back economic
growth there.
Put together, concerns are growing that
the global economy is weakening. A
weak economy reduces demand for oil
and oil products such as diesel, jet fuel,
and gasoline because fewer goods are
shipped and people travel and commute
less.
We were doomy and gloomy before
the jobs report and then the jobs number
became the crescendo of all the bad
news, said Phil Flynn, an analyst at
PFGBest. The big story is the global
economic slowdown.
Brent crude, used to price oil in many
international markets, fell $1.96 to end at
$112.33 per barrel In London.
Gasoline prices remained high, howev-
er. The average retail price for gasoline in
the U.S. rose about 2 cents on Friday to
$3.647 per gallon according to AAA,
Wright Express and Oil Price
Information Service.

Bid to block AT&T deal
reflects telecom industry
WASHINGTON The Obama
administration has explained its effort to
block AT&Ts purchase of T-Mobile
USA by saying it will ght mergers that
would reduce competition and hurt con-
sumers.
Yet few think the lawsuit the adminis-
tration led Wednesday signals a more
aggressive stance toward acquisitions in
other industries. Rather, experts say, the
administrations challenge of AT&Ts
purchase comes down to this: Telecom is
dominated by just a few big companies.
Reducing the number of major players
could all but kill competition and drive
prices up.
By contrast, few other major indus-
tries are controlled by just a handful
of giants. And none relies on access
to a limited number of public air-
waves.

Jeff Keppinger added an RBI dou-
ble off Joe Saunders (9-12) for the
Giants, who denied the D-backs
brass a trip to the barber shop.
Cain (11-9) won for only the sec-
ond time in seven starts, escaping a
bases-loaded jam in the rst with
minimal damage.
Whether this crucial victory will
help save San Franciscos season
remains to be seen.
It is Tim Lincecum (12-11) vs. 17-
game winner Ian Kennedy on
Saturday night in a marquee pitching
matchup. Lincecum has two NL Cy
Young awards, Kennedy is vying for
this years honor.
Arizona wont be pulling out those
razors this time.
First-year general manager Kevin
Towers and team president Derrick
Hall vowed to shave their heads if
the clubs win streak reached 10 a

The D-backs beat both Cain and
Lincecum in consecutive games dur-
ing their trip here a month ago. That
after Arizona dropped three games
all by one run at AT&T Park from
May 10-12.
This one wasnt close.
Beltran added an RBI single in the

to match his career high with four
hits. It was his 20th career four-hit
game and rst since June 30, 2007,
at Philadelphia while with the Mets.
Niners make it ofcial, Smith is starter
THE ASSOCAITED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO As if there
were any doubts, Alex Smith is the
49ers starting quarterback heading into
the regular season.
Coach Jim Harbaugh formally made
the announcement after San Franciscos
20-17 victory at San Diego in Thursday
nights exhibition nale.
Im pretty sure we can say that,
Harbaugh said. He played with a very
cool head and made good decisions. He
played the way you want him to out
there calm, cool, collected.
Smith went 8 for 10 for 45 and wasnt
sacked.
Harbaugh had said all along the No. 1
job was Smiths to lose, and the new
coach appreciated his QBs leadership
and initiative leading workouts at nearby
San Jose State during the lockout this
summer in what was deemed Camp
Alex.
Smith, the 2005 No. 1 overall draft
pick out of Utah, took the majority of
reps with the rst-team offense during
training camp, too. Now, he will be the
guy going into the teams Sept. 11 open-
er against the defending NFC West
champion Seattle Seahawks at
Candlestick Park. Smith returned to the
Niners for 2011 on a $5 million, one-
year deal after a positive meeting with
Harbaugh an ex-NFL quarterback
himself during the spring.
While Smith didnt throw a touch-
down pass in his four preseason starts,
Harbaugh has long believed he can suc-
ceed in the rst-year coachs West Coast
offense despite his up-and-down tenure
with this franchise.

If theres one thing the Carlmont football
team showed in their 2011 season debut, its
the distance between a Peninsula Athletic
League Lake Division team and one from
the Bay Division is about six inches
approximately the distance between both
ears.
The Scots were a couple of plays away
from beginning the new season with a
gigantic victory over The Kings Academy.
But a couple of huge penalties, and a big
fumble late in the rst half, was enough to
give the Knights the 30-26 win.
Its a loss for which the Scots should kick
themselves. But not for too long, because
they showed that the PAL is closer to parity
that most people might believe.
In some aspects, we didnt look like a
Lake team and we played like a team thats
ready to play, said Carlmont head coach
Jason Selli. In other regards, with our mis-
takes, the penalties, I guess that could have
been some Lake football there. But instead
of it being Lake football, I see it as an
experience factor.
We played well, said Carlmont quarter-
back Jack Karasky, who almost orchestrated
a great second-half comeback with his arm
and legs. We came out and we played hard.
We never gave up. We found ourselves
down, but we fought back strong.
And what a ght it was. The Scots found
themselves down 23-6 with 5:15 left in the
game after the Knights Caleb Gomez had
barreled his way in from the 1-yard line for
his rst touchdown for the day. The score
came after the Knights had stopped the
Scots on the initial drive of the second half
eight plays later, Kings Academy had
their biggest lead of the game.
But instead of putting their head down
and taking their lumps like a poor little Lake
team, the Scots battled back, scoring the
next 14 points to close things to 23-20 with
less than a minute left in the third quarter.

cruises in
35-14 win
By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Oftentimes, the rst game of the a new foot-
ball is about making a statement, or perhaps
more tting, a good rst impression.
So what were the Sequoia Cherokees trying
to say with their opening night 35-14 dusting
off of Branham High School?
Well, if the hits, the intensity and the uidi-
ty of their offense were words, theyd say
something like, watch out Peninsula Athletic
League, Sequoia is for real.
The statement we were trying to make,
said Sequoia linebacker Josh Lauese, was,
we lost a lot of players, but that doesnt mean
we wont come out strong. We have a lot of
newcomers coming up, and these newcomers
are going to t in well. So I have a good out-
look for this season.
Lauese and the Cherokees were impressive
against the Bruins. After defeating them 44-0
last season, Sequoia was methodical in their
dismantling of Branham, building a two-
touchdown lead heading into halftime and
never looking back.
This is a young team, and theres a learning
curve, said Sequoia head coach Ron Poulos.
They got to have a game that was close for a
while, they got to play a game where there was
some adversity and how are they going to
respond to that. We got pretty much every
thing we needed to out of (the rst game).
It wasnt all good news for the Cherokees
Friday night. Starting quarterback James
Beekley appeared to injure his knee after a
scramble toward the end of the second quarter.
Sequoia was actually in the middle of an
machine-like drive that began inside of their

NEW YORK Maria
Sharapovas undefeated record in
three-set matches ended Friday,
and so did her stay at the U.S.
Open.
No. 26 seed Flavia Pennetta of
Italy knocked off the 2006 champi-
on 6-3, 3-6, 6-4 in the third round to
hand Sharapova her rst loss in 13
three-set matches this year.
Shes a good fighter, said
Pennetta, who conceded she didnt
know about Sharapovas record in
three-setters. You can never give
up with her. You have to be focused
until the last game, until the last
point, actually.
Sharapova made 12 double-
faults, including two in the last
game. She did not look sharp over a
2 hour, 29-minute match that fea-
tured plenty of nervous tennis.
Sharapova made 60 unforced errors
and lost four break points while
trailing 2-0 in the third set.
I didnt feel comfortable with
most of my game today, Sharapova
said.
After her loss, defending champi-
on Rafael Nadal was leading 6-2, 6-
2 against Frenchman Nicolas
Mahut when Mahut quit.
Pennetta, who also had a big win
in Arthur Ashe Stadium two years
ago in the round of 16 against Vera
Zvonareva, called this one of the
biggest victories of her career.
But its just a match, she said.
Its over and I have to be focused
on the next one.
Pennettas round-of-16 match is
against No. 13 Peng Shuai of
China, who defeated No. 19 Julia
Goerges of Germany, 6-4, 7-6 (1).
The loss by third-seeded
Sharapova, the runner-up at
Wimbledon this year, kicked yet
another top player out of a wide-
open draw. Already, the defending
Wimbledon and French Open
champions have been dispatched
and two-time defending U.S. Open
champion Kim Clijsters didnt
enter because of an injury.
Earlier, No. 2 Vera Zvonareva
defeated No. 30 Anabel Medina
Garrigues and No. 1 Caroline
Wozniacki is still in the draw, but
neither has won a Grand Slam title.
Sharapova was largely considered
the biggest remaining threat to No.
28 Serena Williams, but now the
Russian is gone, as well.
Its disappointing to lose in the
middle of nowhere, disappointing
to lose in New York, Sharapova
said. Losing isnt fun for anyone
because we work to win. We dont
work to lose.
Elsewhere at Flushing Meadows,
No. 28 John Isner defeated fellow
American Robby Ginepri 6-4, 6-3,
6-4 to get to the third round. Isner,
who won the title in Winston-Salem
last week, is on a seven-match win-
ning streak and said his condence
is high as its ever been.
I feel like Im moving very well,
Im getting to balls and able to get
a lot more balls back in play
because Im very comfortable out
there, Isner said.
Another American, Donald
Young, defeated No. 14 Stanislas
Wawrinka in a ve-setter that took
4 hours, 20 minutes and went to a
fth-set tiebreaker. After the match,
Patrick McEnroe, the head of play-
er development for the U.S. Tennis
Association, said In tennis terms,
Donald Young became a man
today.
Young was the player who direct-
ed an obscene message to the
USTA via Twitter earlier this year
when they made him play in a tour-
nament to try to earn a wild-card
entry into the French Open.
McEnroe responded by calling a
telephone news conference to spell
out all the time and money the fed-
eration had spent on the 22-year-
olds development.
Id like to think Im a pretty
tough person, deep down, said
Young, now ranked 84th in the
world. I just had to grow up a little
bit. Everybodys light goes on at a
different time. Hopefully, mines
coming on right now.

ANAHEIM The UFC is going
big for its debut on Fox.
UFC heavyweight champion Cain
Velasquez will defend his title
against Junior Dos Santos on Nov.
12 in the mixed martial arts leagues
first network broadcast, UFC
President Dana White announced
Friday.
Velasquezs five-round meeting
with the Brazilian contender will be
the only ght on a one-hour prime-
time show from the Honda Center in
Anaheim, Calif.
We really want to kick it off with
a bang, and what better way than
with the heavyweight champi-
onship? White asked. (The heavy-
weight title) is the most prestigious
championship in all of sports, and
theres nothing more exciting than
when you know its going to be a
great ght.
White and Fox executives believe
the bout will be the most-watched
MMA event in North American his-
tory. Theyre also hoping its an
action-packed introduction to the
once-banned sport for millions of
curious newcomers.
There are going to be millions of
people turning into the UFC that
have never seen MMA before,
White said. Were going to have to
educate people.
The UFC will incorporate ele-
ments of MMA 101 into the Fox
broadcast, although the network and
the UFC are still working on the
particulars. Theyre also throwing a
party, with tailgating and a Super
Bowl-style red-carpet arrival cere-
mony in Anaheim for a full-scale
UFC card, even if only the main
event is on Fox.
Were jumping on this, and were
making it as big a deal as we can,
Fox Sports President Eric Shanks
said. There was no question that
we were going to get a ght of this
magnitude.
White has put enormous expecta-
tions on the UFCs Fox debut. He
believes the ght could be even
more important to the UFC than
Forrest Griffins victory over
Stephan Bonnar on April 9, 2005, in
the promotions rst ght on live
television.
That bout was a spectacularly
bloody, back-and-forth brawl still
considered one of the best ghts in
UFC history. The UFC quickly
landed a long-term contract with
Spike TV, and its popularity soared
beyond its pay-per-view niche.
Velasquez and Dos Santos cer-
tainly seem to be likely candidates
for another barn-burner.
Velasquez (9-0), a hulking ex-col-
lege wrestler from Arizona State,
has knocked out all but one of his
opponents in his MMA career. He
stopped Brock Lesnar in the rst
round of their meeting in Anaheim
last October to win the heavyweight
title, but hasnt fought since then
while recovering from a torn rotator
cuff in his right shoulder.

STANFORD Andrew Luck has
often been compared to another great
Stanford quarterback who just so
happened to become the NFL drafts
No. 1 pick: John Elway.
This is the one week he might want
to avoid the similarities.
While Luck looks to begin his
Heisman Trophy campaign in his
style in the seventh-ranked Cardinals
season opener against San Jose State
on Saturday, the neighboring
Spartans are ready to give him a his-
tory lesson rst.
Elway returned for his senior sea-
son in 1982 only to fall 35-31 to San
Jose State in Stanfords home opener.
Dont think the Spartans arent aware
of what has happened more than once
in the Silicon Valley series.
I denitely think the young men
on our football team hear about the
upsets, San Jose State coach Mike
MacIntyre said. They see the guys,
the ex-players and the alumni talk
about it.
Of course, these are far different
teams than the two that met almost 30
years ago.
The Cardinal went 12-1 last season,
rolled over Virginia Tech 40-12 in the
Orange Bowl and nished fourth in
the nal AP poll, the programs best
ranking since the unbeaten 1940 team
ended second. Luck led the way with
school records for TD passes (32),
completion percentage (70.7 percent)
and passing efciency (170.2).
Now hes back.
And hes ready to prove he can do
it all again.
I do get a little irked when people
start talking about (the Heisman)
before the season because you dont
win awards based on how you played
last year, Luck said. What have I
done? I havent done anything.

I think it starts with our group of
guys and having that attitude of, I
dont care how much were losing
by, we just all believed in our-
selves, Karasky said.
Unfortunately for Carlmont, that
intensity didnt start right off the bat
in fact, three plays into the con-
test and Kings Academy scored on
a 69-yard touchdown run.
Carlmonts response came less
than two minutes into the second
quarter when Karasky kept it him-
self and scored on an 8-yard touch-
down run to knot things up at six
(after both teams missed the point
after).
That tie wouldnt last very long.
On the next drive, Cameron Pappa
completed his lone pass of the
game, a 35-yard touchdown toss off
of play-action that caught the entire
Carlmont defense biting.
Instead of answering that touch-
down, Carlmont made their rst big
mistake of the game, when
Marquise Harris fumbled. That
turnover led to a 44-yard eld goal
attempt nailed by Brian Bostrom to
give Kings Academy a 16-6 lead.
On the next drive, Carlmont shot
themselves in the foot not once, but
twice, by committing costly penal-
ties the latter came on a spectac-
ular run by Joe Lasala that turned a
touchdown into an illegal block
penalty.
(It was) an unnecessary block
that wouldnt have changed the play
one way or the other, Selli said. If
youre going to win games against
opponents with a lot of Bay experi-
ence, you have to be able to execute
really well the whole game, and not
just bits and pieces. But we played
excellent, Im really proud of the
way they played the second half. We
went out there and played some
football.
Lasala had a monster game for the
Scots. On top of his 85 yards rush-
ing, he caught four balls for 50
yards and found the endzone twice.
And on defense, he forced and
recovered a fumble No. 44 was
all over the eld on Friday.
The guy is a tank, Selli said.
Hes a beast, Karasky said of his
fullback, hes a good addition to
the team, this year. He runs hard.
After the penalties stalled the
Carlmont drive late in the half, the
hole got deeper for the Scots after
Gomezs score early in the third
quarter.
Harris redeemed himself from the
fumble on a 68-yard catch-and-run
that resulted in a Carlmont score
with 3:40 left in the third quarter.
And after a Kings Academy fumble
on the quarterback-wingback
exchange, Carlmont scored five
plays later to close the gap to 23-20.
But that was as close as they
would get.
Gomez sealed the deal for the
Knights with 3:40 left in the game
on a 63-yard touchdown run right
down the throat of the Carlmont
defense.
The Scots went on a long drive
right after that resulted in a touch-
down pass from Karasky to Lasala,
but it ate up too much clock and the
onside kick with 26 seconds left in
the game was recovered by Knights.
We just made one too many mis-
takes; maybe three or four too many
to win this game, Selli said.

Play by play, Beekley was leading

Ofcial word from Poulos was a
bit of knee swelling, but there was
no further word on the injury.
Sequoia does have a bye-week and
does not have a game until they face
Pinole Valley Sept. 16.
With Beekley out, Mike Taylor
stepped in and Sequoia did not miss
a beat. They punished Branham in
the second half, with Dylan
Anderson, Matt Jenkins, Mike
Taylor and Jordan Veamau running
the football and eating clock.
Defensively, Veamau and Lauese

Raiders fall to Seattle
By Tim Booth
SEATTLE Terrelle Pryors
night consisted of holding a clip-
board, with an earpiece hooked to
his left ear and a football tucked
under his left arm.
So much for Pryor getting any
playing time before his ve-game
suspension kicks in.
Thomas Clayton and Vai Taua had
short touchdowns runs, Jeff Reed
kicked two field goals, and the
Seattle Seahawks closed out the pre-
season with an uninspiring 20-3 vic-
tory over the Oakland Raiders on
Friday night.
While Seattles offense showed
some bright spots that should make
fans a little less apprehensive head-
ing into the regular season opener
on Sept. 11 in San Francisco, most
of the focus was on the Raiders
sideline and if Pryor would get into
the game.
Raiders coach Hue Jackson had-
nt committed to anything related to
Pryor and as the nal minutes of the
fourth quarter ticked away, it was
Kyle Boller continuing to take snaps
and Pryor serving as a spectator.
It was a familiar look for Pryor
most of the night, donning a black
and silver baseball cap and occa-
sionally tossing the ball into the air
to himself.
It was the final chance for
Oakland to see Pryor on the eld
before he serves his ve-game sus-
pension handed down by commis-
sioner Roger Goodell as part of his
entry into the NFL supplemental
draft.
Its been less than two weeks
since Oakland selected the contro-
versial former Ohio State star in the
third round of the supplemental
draft. He signed a four-year contract
with the Raiders a few days later.
Pryor gave up his nal season with
the Buckeyes after an investigation
into the teams memorabilia-for-
cash scandal that cost coach Jim
Tressel his job.
Reed kicked eld goals of 25 and
36 yards, and Sebastian Janikowski
made a 34-yarder for the Raiders.
While the majority of the starters
for both teams were on the bench
resting well before halftime, there
were some notable exceptions.
Seattle rookie right tackle James
Carpenter, who struggled badly last
week in Denver, played nearly the
entire game, only taking a second
quarter break when Breno
Giacomini got reps with the
Seahawks No. 1 offensive line.
Fellow Seattle rookie lineman
John Moftt played three full quar-
ters before giving way in the fourth.
With Carpenter and Moftt play-
ing better, Seattle starting quarter-
back Tarvaris Jackson was nally
given time to throw.
Jackson played less than one
entire quarter. He was 5 of 7 for 88
yards, but forced one throw toward
Golden Tate in the end zone and was
intercepted by Oakland safety
Tyvon Branch. Even though
Jackson was back on the sideline
before the end of the rst, his two
drives nearly created two scores and
rolled up 100 yards of offense.
Tates status on the Seahawks
nal roster was put to rest with an
impressive showing.
Tate had ve catches for 79 yards,
including a 43-yard reception from
Jackson where he beat safety
Michael Huff off the line of scrim-
mage. Later in the rst half, Tate
returned a kickoff 34 yards and at
the end of the half had a 43-yard
punt return that set up a eld-goal
attempt at the end of the half.
Oakland went with its starting
offense for much of the rst half
with Jason Campbell not checking
out until the nal few minutes of the
second quarter. Campbell went 8 for
11 for 76 yards in his nal action
before the Raiders opener Sept. 12
at Denver.
Smith was slightly behind after
missing the initial six practices of
training camp per the new labor
rules for when free agents could
start workouts. He treated each
day as a competition to win the
job, never assuming anything.
Rookie second-round pick
Colin Kaepernick had competed
for the job. Kaepernick threw two
more interceptions Thursday
night, giving him five during the
teams 2-2 preseason.
The 27-year-old Smith threw for
2,370 yards and 14 touchdowns in
11 games and 10 starts last sea-
son, but he also threw 10 intercep-
tions and was sacked 25 times. He
shared the starting role with Troy
Smith, who is no longer with the
team.
Smiths return to the 49ers as a
free agent surprised many. He
wasnt expected to be back when
last season ended with a 6-10
record and an eighth straight year
out of the playoffs and without a
winning record.
Smith said Thursday he hadnt
allowed himself to think too far
ahead, especially after the bad
taste he had from a 30-7 home
loss to the Texans last Saturday.
To be honest, I know its com-
ing up, but after the Houston
game, I wanted to focus on this
game, Smith said in San Diego.

The slugger nally produced the
way the Giants hoped he would
when they acquired him in a July 28
trade from New York, showing the
power stroke that has dened his
14-year big league career. The six-
time All-Star recently spent a stint
on the disabled list with an injured
right hand and wrist.
Ross, one of those castoffs and
mists who shined last September
and during an improbable champi-
onship run, connected in the sev-
enth. Then, he made a spectacular
diving catch on Justin Uptons
sharply hit y to start the eighth.
Ross caught the ball in fair territory
and slid face-rst into the dirt in
foul territory.
Cain appeared to be in trouble
right away but wound up going
eight innings, allowing two runs and
ve hits. After striking out Ryan
Roberts to start the game, he
allowed Aaron Hills single, a walk
to Upton then Miguel Monteros
RBI double. Chris Young drew a
free pass one out later to load the
bases for Gerardo Parra, but Cain
retired him on a y ball to left.
Santiago Casilla gave up a single
to Parra in the ninth before striking
out pinch-hitter Geoff Blum to end
it.
Keppingers double off the left-
eld wall in the third tied the game
at 1, then Beltran followed with his
17th home run. Keppinger has eight
RBIs in his last nine games.
Beltran hit just his second clout in
21 games since joining the Giants.
He came into the game in an 0-for-
11 funk and was hitless in his previ-
ous three games. He also had been
unsuccessful in his last eight at-bats
with runners in scoring position and
was 2 for his last 20 with chances to
drive in runs.
Saunders fell to 0-3 lifetime
against the Giants, all the losses this
year. He never found a rhythm with
a sellout crowd of 40,948 on their
feet cheering on a night fog swirled
above the outfield in the early
innings and wind whipped the ball-
park ags right off the bay.
The Giants are the only NL West
team Saunders is yet to beat. Hill
added a sacrice y in the fth for
Arizonas other run.
Pat Burrell was back in the San
Francisco lineup and playing left
eld after he missed 43 games with
a strained right foot. He struck out
and walked twice before being
replaced.
NOTES: These teams meet for
three games at Chase Field in the
seasons final week. ... Beltran
tripled in the rst. The homer was
No. 297 of his career. He is batting
.500 (14 for 28) with a homer, three
triples, a double and four RBIs in
seven games against Arizona this
season. ... Lincecum is 0-1 in two
starts vs. the D-backs this season
despite a 1.20 ERA. He has allowed
two earned runs and seven hits with
17 strikeouts and ve walks over 15
innings. The loss came here Aug. 2.
... Kennedy beat Cain on Aug. 1
during his stretch of seven straight
winning starts. ... The Giants are 45-
9 when scoring four or more runs.

Matsui lead As to win
OAKLAND Hideki Matsui plans to
show up at the ballpark every day playing to
win. His mindset remains the same in any sit-
uation.
Matsui and Cliff
Pennington both drove in
three runs to lead the
Oakland Athletics to a 9-2
victory over the Seattle
Mariners on Friday night.
It doesnt matter
whether the team is in a
playoff race or not,
Matsui said through his
interpreter. Im going to
prepare for every game and look for ways to
help the team win. Its great to have the oppor-
tunities.
Brandon Allen and Scott Sizemore drove in
runs for the As, who won their second straight
following a ve-game losing streak.
Guillermo Moscoso (7-8) snapped a two-
game losing streak despite allowing his rst
earned run in 25 2-3 innings against AL West
opponents. He improved to 5-2 with a 2.62
ERA at home this season.
He got better as the night went on, As
manager Bob Melvin said.
Franklin Gutierrez and Brendan Ryan drove
in runs for the Mariners, who lost for the sixth
time in eight games.
Jason Vargas (7-13) fell to 1-8 over his last
11 starts.
Moscoso, who retired the nal 16 batters he
faced, went seven innings, allowing two runs
one earned and ve hits. He walked one
and struck out six. Moscoso went at least
seven innings for just the second time in nine
starts since the All-Star break.
He did a good job against us, Seattle man-
ager Eric Wedge said. He elevated his fast-
ball when he wanted to, he was down and in
and he pitched inside well. We were in there
hacking. They werent giving away at-bats.
We just didnt have a lot to show for it.
Vargas, who was 6-5 after throwing his third
shutout of the season on July 1, lasted ve
innings. He allowed ve runs and six hits,
walking four and striking out four. Vargas has
given up 22 earned runs over his last 21 2-3
innings.
The big inning has been killing me, its
been killing the team, Vargas said. The fact
of the matter is I havent been very good. The
seasons kind of winding down and I got to
gure it out pretty quick.
The Mariners scored runs in the rst and
second. Ichiro Suzuki led off with a single and
reached third on Michael Taylors elding
error. Gutierrez grounded out to score Suzuki.
Ryan added an RBI single in the second.
Matsuis three-run double in the third put
the As in front for good. Allen added a run-
scoring single.
That was the hit of the game, Melvin said
of Matsuis bases-clearing double. We were
down, maybe were pressing, and we needed a
big hit. That gave us the lead and now were
able to out up better at-bats.
Sizemore had an RBI single in the fth and
Penningtons seventh home run in the seventh
made it 9-2. Matsui scored on a wild pitch
earlier in the inning.
NOTES: RHP Brandon McCarthy makes
the start for the Athletics on Saturday. He is 6-
2 with a 3.77 ERA in nine starts since the All-
Star break. He is 1-4 career against the
Mariners. ... As IF Jemile Weeks extended his
season-best hitting streak to 10 games with his
third-inning single. ... Matsuis walk in the
fth ended a career-tying run of 16 consecu-
tive games without a walk.

For NFL, TV is big bucks
NEW YORK Commissioner Roger
Goodell spoke to CBSs NFL commentators
when they were in New York for preseason
meetings. His message: The business of the
league is going up, up, up by every measure.
The NFL soon will be talking to its network
partners about increasing another nancial g-
ure. The leagues TV deals go through the
2013 season, but Fox Sports Chairman David
Hill expects it wont be long before negotia-
tions get going.
Always a fabulously interesting time, he
said. Not one for the faint of heart.
During the labor discussions, the players
contended that the NFL would sign new media
deals worth $8 billion, nearly double the cur-
rent total.
Considering the oft-mentioned factoid that
the league is a $9 billion-a-year business, a
signicant increase in TV rights is a major
change in the size of the revenue pie divvied
up by the new collective bargaining agree-
ment.
The players get 55 percent of national media
revenue under the CBA, the 10-year deal that
guarantees a long stretch of stability for the
companies investing billions of dollars in the
NFL.
The NFL was of course a highly valuable
property when the last TV contracts were
agreed to in 2004 and 2005. But even in the
short time since then, the leagues place in the
overall television landscape has shifted dra-
matically.
Im sure the NFL would say that, and wed
say we bring value to them, said NBC Sports
Group Chairman Mark Lazarus. Yes, they are
valuable properties, important properties, for
us, for the three main constituencies we think
about. We think about the consumer obvious-
ly, and they care. For NBC, we think about our
afliates, and its an important asset for them,
and for marketers its an important asset.
Last season, games on CBS, Fox and NBC
averaged 20 million viewers 144 percent
better than the average for the prime-time pro-
gramming on the four major networks.
Just ve years earlier, that difference was 61
percent.
Its the dominant sport and in a lot of ways
its a very dominant television property in
general, said CBS Sports Chairman Sean
McManus, who related the story about
Goodells prediction for the league. It contin-
ues to perform extraordinarily well for us.
But the value of TV deals is based on more
than ratings. Or certainly thats what network
executives will claim in negotiations.
The economys a factor. The strength of the
auto business is a factor, McManus said. Its
not just the television ratings. Its how much
advertising revenue is in the marketplace.
For the NFL, that seems to be a lot.
Over time, the NFL I dont mean this
with any arrogance has become less vul-
nerable to the recessionary times, because the
values that are there are unique, said Tony
Taranto, CBSs senior vice president for ad
sales.
When advertising has a difcult choice,
you want the biggest bang for your buck, you
almost dont have a choice, he added. Where
else are you going to get it?
Martin Pyykkonen, an analyst with media
research rm Wedge Partners, estimates that
CBS will have an operating income margin of
about 10 percent this NFL season, with simi-
lar numbers for Fox.
Thats less than the average in all of televi-
sion, but major sporting events carry intangi-
ble benets such as the opportunity to pro-
mote other shows to a wide audience.

Its Child Safety Month
By Foster Niumata
The U.S. rugby squad turned down a cere-
monial ride in a Maori canoe in the city of
Wanganui in New Zealand, suspecting this
wasnt the safest of ventures.
The cultural gaffe didnt sit well with the
locals. The Americans quickly apologized and
said theyd be happy to go for a paddle
Sunday on the sedate Whanganui River.
It could be the most prudent thing this over-
matched team does in New Zealand for the
next month at the 20-team World Cup.
The Eagles are lumped in Group C in
order of matches with Ireland, Russia,
Australia and Italy. Of those, theyve beaten
only Russia.
Mike Petri, the scrumhalf who has been
playing rugby in New York since high school,
is in his second World Cup and under no illu-
sions about what awaits.
Id like to see the day the USA is a real
challenger for the trophy, Petri said. Were
realistic. We have a tough pool in front of us
and our priority is to go out and put on the
best performance we can.
The U.S. Eagles have only two wins at
World Cups, both against Japan in 1987 and
2003. Since the last tournament in 2007,
theyve won only eight tests, of which four
were over World Cup teams. In their most
recent test last month, Japan beat them in
rainy Tokyo.
Petri says its not fair to liken this squad to
the one from four years ago.
Its a different team, different coaching
staff, different tournament, the dynamics to
this squad are different, said Petri, whos had
stints with Sale Sharks and Newport. A lot of
teams go in and take some things for granted.
Hopefully well be able to take advantage of
that.
The Eagles are counting on being underes-
timated. It worked last time. They held their
own in France, and even nished with the of-
cial try of the year. The play earned Taku
Ngwenya a contract in France.
The U.S. hasnt produced another signature
moment since. More funding from the
International Rugby Board has helped set up
competitions such as the North American 4
and its successor, the Americas
Championship, but the Eagles still cant catch
Argentina or Canada.
Every June since 2003, theyve also had the
Churchill Cup. This year they beat Russia in a
close contest, but that came after an 87-8 past-
ing from Englands second string and a 44-13
blowout by Tonga.
Hardly anyone in the U.S. was stirred by the
87-8 result because that weekend the U.S. col-
lege sevens championship in Philadelphia
attracted 17,000 fans and 14 hours of live TV.
Its arguable whether the face of U.S. rugby
is the Eagles, or the national sevens team
coached by Al Caravelli, Americas answer to
New Zealands Gordon Tietjens.
The U.S. reached its rst sevens world
series nal last year in Adelaide, Australia and
regularly collects a trophy. The world tour
stop in Las Vegas is increasingly popular.
Theres a sevens tournament somewhere in
the U.S. every weekend, and its new Olympic
status is fueling the surge to the point where
sevens, unlike 15s and the Eagles, attracts
sponsors and makes a prot.
But the Eagles have a chance to make a
statement. For the rst time, 10 World Cup
games will be on American TV, three on
NBC. But NBC will show only one Eagles
game, the opener against Ireland, the team
Eagles coach Eddie OSullivan expected to
lead to a third successive World Cup this year
until he quit under pressure in 2008.
OSullivan, who relies on a core of players,
has helped the U.S. reach 16th in the rank-
ings, three spots higher than when he took
over in 2009.
Were not a team to be overlooked, Petri
said. We want to show our families back
home and supporters back home and players
throughout the world that American rugby
players are capable of playing at the top level
and can be competitive.
U.S. could be in for rough trip at Rugby World Cup

Information: 650-877-8518
By George Jahn
VIENNA The U.N. nuclear agency
said Wednesday it is increasingly con-
cerned about a stream of intelligence
suggesting that Iran continues to work
secretly on developing a nuclear pay-
load for a missile and other components
of a nuclear weapons program.
In its report, the International Atomic
Energy Agency said many member
states are providing evidence for that
assessment, describing the information
it is receiving as credible, extensive
and comprehensive.
The restricted nine-page report was
made available Friday to the Associated
Press, shortly after being shared inter-
nally with the 35 IAEA member nations
and the U.N. Security Council. It also
said Tehran has fulfilled a pledged
made earlier this year and started
installing equipment to enrich uranium
at a new location an underground
bunker that is better protected from air
attack than its present enrichment facil-
ities.
Enrichment can produce both nuclear
fuel and ssile warhead material, and
Tehran which says it wants only to
produce fuel with the technology is
under four sets of U.N. Security Council
sanctions for refusing to freeze enrich-
ment, which it says it needs for fuel
only.
It also denies secretly experimenting
with a nuclear weapons program and
has blocked a four-year attempt by the
IAEA to follow up on intelligence that it
secretly designed blueprints linked to a
nuclear payload on a missile, experi-
mented with exploding a nuclear
charge, and conducted work on other
components of a weapons program.
In a 2007 estimate, the U.S. intelli-
gence community said that while Iran
had worked on a weapons program such
activities appeared to have ceased in
2003. But diplomats say a later intelli-
gence summary avoided such specics,
and recent IAEA reports on the topic
have expressed growing unease that
such activities may be continuing.
U.N.: Credible evidence Iran working on nukes
Conrmation of reports by diplomats
to the AP that Iran has started setting
up uranium enriching centrifuges at
Fordow, a fortied facility dug into a
mountain near the holy city of Qom.
Iran intends to use Fordow to triple its
20-percent enrichment of uranium - a
concern because that level is easier to
turn into weapons grade uranium
quickly than its main stockpile of low
enriched uranium at 3.5 percent.
Further accumulation of both low-
enriched and higher enriched or 20
percent uranium. The report said Iran
had now accumulated more than four
tons of low enriched uranium and over
70 kilograms more than 150
pounds of higher enriched material.
Those two stockpiles give it enough
enriched uranium to make up to six
nuclear warheads,should it choose to
do so.
Other report findings
U.N.: North Korea nuke
equipment from black market
VIENNA A report from the U.N. nuclear agency on
Friday strengthened suspicions that like Iran North
Korea turned to black market suppliers to set up a uranium
enrichment plant revealed only last year.
The International Atomic Energy Agency report says the lay-
out of equipment and other details observed by a visiting U.S.
group were broadly consistent with designs sold by a clan-
destine supply network.
The condential report made available to the Associated
Press seems to allude to the black market suppliers led by
Pakistani scientist Abdul Qadeer Khan. That group provided
Iran with the backbone of what was a clandestine nuclear pro-
gram before it was revealed eight years ago.
Khan was the main supplier of centrifuges used to enrich
uranium before his operation was disrupted in 2003.
Enrichment can create both reactor fuel of the ssile core of
nuclear weapons.
The agency report said the plant was set up after IAEA
inspectors were ordered to leave in April 2009, when ve-
nation talks with the North broke down and Pyongyang restart-
ed its nuclear program.
Unless the purchases were recent and from previously
unknown suppliers, that would indicate that the centrifuges
were bought before the Khan network was dismantled and
were in storage until two years ago.
Libyan rebels pushing toward Gadhafi hometown
TRIPOLI, Libya Rebel fighters pushed closer to
Moammar Gadhas hometown on Friday, despite the exten-
sion of a deadline for the towns surrender and negotiations
with tribal leaders aimed at avoiding bloodshed.
With the capital of Tripoli rmly in their hands, the rebels
are in no rush to assault the loyalist-held town of Sirte, rebel
ofcials said, hoping the town would surrender without an
attack. But the rebels are also moving their forces into position
in case an assault is needed.
Military action will be the last option, because after the fall
of the capital, we are not in a hurry, said Khaled Zintani, a
spokesman for the rebels in the remote mountain town of
Zintan.
Tribal elders in Sirte had asked that a delegation from Zintan
be sent to Sirte to help with negotiations, he said, because of a
long history of bad blood with rebels from towns closer to
Sirte.
Despite the extension of a Sirte surrender deadline to Sept.
10, rebel forces have not stopped advancing, said another rebel
spokesman, Abdel-Haz Ghoga. Rebel brigades have pushed
to the town of Wadi Hawarah, just 30 miles (50 kilometers)
from Sirte, he said.
Fidel Castro silence sparks speculation on health
HAVANA Its been more than a year since Fidel Castro
burst back on the scene with a spate of public appearances and
dire warnings of nuclear Armageddon. But after a urry of
activity that quieted speculation about his exit from the world
stage, the Cuban revolutionarys revival tour seems to be over.
Castro has not appeared in public since a key Communist
Party meeting in April when he seemed unsteady and unusual-
ly frail. He has also virtually stopped writing his trademark
opinion pieces and didnt make a statement or release a photo-
graph on his 85th birthday in August.

t is the start of the school year and
everybody at Aragon High School, my
high school, is busy. Freshmen are busy
searching for classes. Sophomores are busy
abusing their newfound
seniority. Juniors are busy
with their new honors and
AP workload. And I, a
senior, am busy (no, not
doing college applica-
tions) recruiting for my
student organizations.
Since the rst day of
school, I have been
actively recruiting stu-
dents to join the groups I participate in such
as Model United Nations, Harvard Model
Congress and Aragons Newspaper, The
Aragon Outlook. Several times, however, I
have faced episodes in which a skeptical stu-
dent questions the motives of the students in
a club or student organization. Such students
tell me that the only reason students do these
activities is to buff up their college resume. I
disagree. There is a population of students
who only do extracurricular activities for the
sake of the college resume, but ultimately, I
believe the value of an academic extracurric-
ular is worth far more than a line of text on a
sheet of paper on a college application.
This is not to say that these skeptical stu-
dents do not have a valid point. They are
right to be skeptical. In the world of college
admissions today, students aiming for com-
petitive schools are expected to participate in
some kind of an extracurricular activity.
Certainly, a student who participates in an
academic club such as Model United Nations
will, on paper, appear more academically
intrigued than a student who does not partici-

Theres something old-fashioned about A

Huyck (a veteran TV writing team making

A Good Old Fashioned Orgy feels more

SANTA FE, N.M. A young Native
American boy named Chii stares straight into
the camera of Vicki Monks. His long, dark hair
is tussled by the breeze as she captures his
solemn expression while he waits for his fami-
ly on the edge of a Yuchi burial ground in
Oklahoma.
Monks is telling a story of sorts with Chiis
photograph a story about mixed American
Indian ancestry.
An age-old tradition among indigenous peo-
ple throughout the world, the art of storytelling
has transcended words for Monks and the other
Native American artists who are part of the
New Native Photography, 2011 exhibition at
the New Mexico Museum of Art.
Through a collection of seemingly simple
and other more complex photographs, the
artists are working to convey their perspective
on everything from ancestry and environmental
concerns to stereotypes and tribal sovereignty.
I think photography is an important element
in storytelling, Monks told the Associated
Press in a telephone interview. You can convey
a lot of deeper meaning with photography and
that adds to the body of storytelling.
For Monks, a Chickasaw who grew up with
the Cherokees in Tahlequah, Okla., portraits of
Native Americans of mixed tribal heritage has
become a fascination. In the past, many tribes
looked quite distinct from one another, she said.
She could see it all blended together in Chii.
For such a young child, he had a lot of depth
of character in his face, she said. You can also
see the ancestry in his face. You can see the
Navajo, you can see the Yuchi, you can see the
Chippewa. Its there in him.
Monks is one of 19 artists from various
tribes, nations and pueblos across the United
States featured in the exhibition, which stems
from a collaboration between the museum and
the Southwestern Association of Indian Arts for
its annual Indian Market.
While the photographs in the exhibit are new,
photographers have documented Native
American life for more than a century. Studios
started popping up in western outposts in the
mid-1800s, and photographers such as Edward
S. Curtis set out to document traditional Indian
life before it was forever altered by westward
expansion.
In the early 20th century, several Native
American photographers also began to emerge,
said Hulleah J. Tsinhnahjinnie, director of the
C.N. Gorman Museum at UC-Davis and one of
the curators for the exhibition.
Natives and photography is nothing new,
she said. To everyone else, its a novelty if you
have no idea its out there.
Today, theres plenty out there, with net-
works of Native American artists sharing their
images through Facebook, Flickr and other
social media websites.
As for the photographs in the exhibition,
whats new is the style. Everything from lay-
ered digital images to collages and glitter are
used to get the message across.
In one case, the late Kimowan Metchewais
mixes photographic elements of an old junked
automobile with the text of a traditional Cree
language to create an image titled War Pony
2010.
Da-ka-xeen Mehners photographs explore
the effects of people on the Alaskan environ-
ment. His images of the Alaskan oil pipeline
and a rock outcropping scrawled with grafti
are framed by close-ups of otter fur, caribou
skin and glacial ice.
The largest photographs in the exhibition
come from Tifney Yazzie, a recent graduate of
Arizona State University. She said the portraits
of her mother serve as an exploration of the
bond the two have as well the matriarchal ele-
ment that runs through many Native American
tribes.
Tsinhnahjinnie said understanding the mean-
ings behind some of the photographs might be
difcult for someone who doesnt know much
about Native American life. But she said the
exhibition offers an opportunity to learn more,
even for tribal members from different parts of
the country.
Her advice for those expecting stereotypical
images of Native Americans: You need to
have an open mind, and you need to leave your
cowboy hat at the door.
In the way storytelling has carried traditions
for many tribes, Tsinhnahjinnie said the photo-
graphs in the exhibition have the power to leave
a visual legacy.
Just because theyre not in the shape of the
totem pole or theyre not in the shape of things
that look Indian doesnt mean theyre not full of
the ability to carry these stories, she said.
For Mehner, photography is a universal lan-
guage that doesnt always require an under-
standing of specic cultural norms.
Talking broadly about the world, I think
photography is the language of our society, he
said. Image making is more common and
were bombarded with imagery every day. Its
everywhere. Its become the natural language
for storytelling.

pate in any kind of academic activity. Which
student is, in reality, more academically
engaged, however, is debatable.
Due to this inconsistency, resume building
is scorned. The student who appears better
on paper may not be the better student in
person. However, in the world of college
admissions, where appearances matter, stu-
dents are desperate to gain a competitive
edge. To many students, the solution to gain-
ing a competitive edge lies in these academic
activities.
Logically, a student would participate in an
academic activity such as Harvard Model
Congress or the school newspaper in order to
build their resume. However, this is not the
case for all students. Undoubtedly, there are
students like myself who are genuinely inter-
ested in government, debate and journalism.
Undoubtedly, there are students who do math
club for a passion in math; there are students
who do mock trial because they want to pur-
sue law; there are students who do robotics
to explore engineering. To argue that all the
students in each of these clubs and organiza-
tions are only there for the resume value is
absurd.
Ultimately, I believe that, despite the
resume-building, students should still be
open to trying academic clubs. The purpose
of an academic club is not to attract resume
builders; the purpose of an academic club is
to allow students to explore elds of study
not covered in core classes. I myself would
have never been introduced to the depths of
foreign policy if I had not joined Model
United Nations. I must admit that I once had
a period in my life where I wanted to join
prestigious clubs for the resume value, but
soon after joining some prestigious clubs I
learned to love the topics I was introduced
to.
One of my friends who recently graduat-
ed from Aragon and participated in Mock
Trial, Lushuang Xu, said, At first, I only
joined Mock Trial because I wanted to act
as a witness. But after going through trials
and seeing the entire [legal] process, I actu-
ally became a lawyer [in Mock Trial].
Similarly, she said that after working hard
in Model United Nations she eventually
fell in love with public speaking in gener-
al. Overall, she feels these clubs which led
her to pursue a degree in political science
at Harvard University.
Maybe students in academic clubs do think
about their college resume; most students
planning on applying to competitive colleges
have to think about their college resumes
often. But why condemn this tendency?
Sure, the pressure to build a resume may
lead students to join clubs they necessarily
would not join out of interest. But in a dif-
ferent scope, the pressure to build a resume
leads students to try new things and be
proactive about their education. I do not
think there is anything wrong with that.

Johnson, in a curiously brief cameo),
though, has decided to sell the place, lead-
ing to a final Labor Day blowout.
When Eric suggests a last-hurrah orgy,
the group gradually comes around to the
idea. Its a good supporting cast, including
Tyler Labine as Erics loutish right-hand
man (maybe a risky description for a film
about an orgy); Lake Bell as a therapist dat-
ing a humorless German (Rhys Coiro);
Martin Starr as an indecisive musician;
Nick Kroll as a work-obsessed paranoid;
Michelle Borth, whos harboring old feel-
ings for Eric; and Lindsay Sloane, a shy
cutie with body issues.
It sometimes looks like they had more fun
making Orgy than we could possibly have
watching it, but the good vibes are a big part
of the movies appeal. (It should be noted,
though, that Orgy, with its Hamptons set-
ting and cargo shorts, is easily one of the
whitest movies to come along in recent
years.)
As the big party nears, the group readies
for the occasion. At the same time, Eric
begins dating one of the realtors selling the
house (the striking Leslie Bibb), complicat-
ing the orgy plans.
Left out is the lone married couple among
the old friends, played by Will Forte and
Lucy Punch. Theyre (amusingly) infuriated
to be left out, and in their few scenes,
theyre consistently the funniest thing in the
movie.
The premise asks a lot of Sudeikis
charm. A Saturday Night Live cast mem-
ber and budding movie star (Horrible
Bosses), he has an undaunted, always-on-
the-make cheerfulness to him: a rascal with
his shirt tucked in. Its possible the most
salient effect of Orgy will be to make his
leading-man potential evident.
But group sex, to say the least, is a tough
cookie. When the time comes, the awkward-
ness of the participants pales in comparison
to the awkwardness of the audience.
Gregory and Huyck dont go far in explor-
ing the weirdness and emotional difficulty
that a group of lifelong friends might create
in sleeping together they want so much
for a carefree holiday from such concerns.
Alas, the orgy revolution will have to
wait.
A Good Old Fashioned Orgy, a Samuel
Goldwyn Films release, is rated R for per-
vasive strong sexual content, graphic nudity
and language. Running time: 95 minutes.

LOS ANGELES Call of Duty is
coming to life.
Fans of the shoot-em-up franchise are
converging Friday on the sprawling 12-
acre compound where Howard Hughes
built the Spruce Goose for the inaugural
Call of Duty XP convention, a two-
day event celebrating the Activision
Blizzard Inc. military shooter with game
previews, real-world recreations of Call
of Duty levels and a performance by
Kanye West.
Its really in response to the strength
of the Call of Duty franchise and the
passion of our fans, said Eric
Hirshberg, CEO of Activision
Publishing, which organized the event.
We have fans who play our game every
day more than they go on Facebook
and enough fans in multiplayer every
day to ll the 80 largest sports stadiums
in the world.
Hirshberg expects 7,000 attendees at
the sold-out event, which will serve as
the unveiling for the multiplayer mode
of the upcoming Modern Warfare 3.
Tickets cost $150 and include a special
edition of Modern Warfare 3. Proceeds
will go to the Call of Duty Endowment,
a nonprot organization that Activision
founded to assist military veterans.
Besides previewing Modern Warfare
3 and the Elite online service, atten-
dees will have the chance to zip around
in a Jeep, spar on two paintball courses
modeled after Modern Warfare 2 lev-
els, grab grub from an eatery resembling
the games ctitious Burger Town fast
food chain, and meet some of the fran-
chises various developers and voice
actors.
Hirshberg said the extravaganza was
kept intentionally compact to avoid long
lines and give hardcore fans an A-plus
experience. For those who cant attend
but want in on the action, supermodel
Marisa Miller will host streaming videos
from Call of Duty XP. Miller said
shes no stranger to Call of Duty. Her
father and husband are both die-hard
players.
The way we play is my husband will
show me whats up in the specic map
that were going to play through and
then hell give me the controller, and Ill
have a go at it, said Miller. My hus-
band is really intense about it. Hes real-
ly good. Im just the type of player who
likes to sit behind the wall with my
sniper rie and pick people off that
way.
For the past four years, the immersive
Call of Duty franchise has enjoyed
unprecedented success. The latest title,
Black Ops, has sold more than 25 mil-
lion copies worldwide since its launch
last November, and more than 7 million
people play online every day. The
upcoming globe-trotting Modern
Warfare 3 edition is scheduled for
release Nov. 8.

International Vulture Awareness Day
began with the Birds of Prey Program in
South Africa and Hawk Conservancy
Trust in England. Countries hosted sepa-
rate vulture awareness events and
expanded the initiative into an annual
international event. They collaborate
annually to highlight the importance of
vultures place in the animal kingdom.
CuriOdyssey in Coyote Point
Recreation Area will feature activities
highlighting turkey vulture conservation
and awareness: a meet and greet of
Scooter the Vulture at 11 a.m., Animal
Connection Birds of Prey at 1:30 p.m.
and 2 p.m., and a vulture enrichment
activity at 3 p.m. Through an array of
activities, children and adults will learn
about the history of vultures and how
they are helpful to the environment.
Turkey vultures are common in the
United States and possess a keen sense
of smell. This sense may be critical to
foraging success in certain environ-
ments, according to the Vulture Society
website.
CuriOdyssey, formerly known as
Coyote Point Museum, specializes in
housing more than 100 California native
and non-releasable animals from reha-
bilitation facilities because they cannot
survive in the wild, Echanique said. The
museums permanent collection of ani-
mals consists of birds, mammals, rep-
tiles, amphibians and invertebrates. With
more than 100,000 visitors last year, the
museum hosts fundraising events and
offers memberships that encourages
donation, adoption and volunteer work.
Its mission is to inspire people to not
only care for the environment, but to
take care of it as well.
In one particular activity, visitors will
have a live encounter with Scooter, the
Turkey Vulture Animal Ambassador. At
ve months old, Scooter was found in
the wild with juvenile cataracts, a cloudy
area in the lens of the eye that causes
vision impairment and progressively
worsens with age. People will be able to
interact with Scooter and learn about his
personal history.
CuriOdyssey is unique for its program
and facility of live animal encounters
and engaging environmental science and
art programs. Instead of focusing on a
lecture-based institution, the museum
provides hands-on, interactive science
exhibits where visitors are given the
tools to answer questions while explor-
ing the world. The museum also offers a
wide range of explorative school and
public programs and multiple camp ses-
sions for children during the summer.
Echanique, who coordinates the pub-
lic and private programs in the wildlife
department, hopes the vulture-geared
event will change the perspectives of
visitors, especially children, when they
visit CuriOdyssey.
The look on kids faces when theyre
afraid of an animal but get up close and
personal is a cool turnaround,
Echanique said. They see how different
it is being in touch with an animal and
that moment changes their feelings
towards animals.
International Vulture Awareness Day
activities are included with the cost of
admission to CuriOdyssey. For more
information visit http://www.vulture-
day.org/2011/index.php or www.curi-
odyssey.org.
BIRDS
On that day, deputies responding to
reports of ve or six gunshots found
Half Moon Bay resident Jose Monroy,
29, bleeding from a gunshot wound to
his foot on the 200 block of Grove
Street.
A few days later, another gunshot vic-
tim showed up at Seton Medical Center.
On Thursday morning, deputies with
the Sheriffs Ofce conducted a search
warrant on the 400 block of Metzgar
Street in Half Moon Bay and arrested
Christian Serrano DeLeon, 21, who is
believed to be the primary suspect in the
case.
Marco Antonio Barajas, 18, was locat-
ed at a residence on the 400 Block of
Willow Street in Half Moon Bay and a
17-year-old Hispanic boy out of Moss
Beach was also taken into custody on the
100 block of Corona Street.
All three were booked on suspicion of
attempted murder and belonging to a
criminal street gang. The juvenile, who
is not being named, is housed at the
Youth Services Center.
Investigators believe the shooting was
gang-related and may have stemmed
from a dispute between the Norteo and
Sureo street gangs.
Prosecutors should receive the case on
Tuesday morning and if they decide to
charge the suspects they will be
arraigned that afternoon. A decision will
also be made whether to charge the juve-
nile as an adult, said Chief Deputy
District Attorney Karen Guidotti.
The investigation is ongoing and any-
one with information is asked to contact
sheriffs Detective Matt Broad at 363-
4363.
ARREST
loop going north to south.
Wearing comfy shoes, the trail could
take you to enjoy views of the nearby
Half Moon Bay airport. Or, to the west,
take in the view of calm Pacic Ocean
waters with playful seals swimming
about. When the water is very calm, a
person can look down and see the water
mammals playing underwater. Seagulls
soaring by, the peaceful hike is the per-
fect place to take a few minutes and
appreciate nature. Thankfully, there are
even a couple of benches for those who
may want to take extra time to take in the
scenery.
Plenty of plant life in a variety of col-
ors surrounds the dirt trail. Much of the
area is being restored and signs remind
those on the trails to respect the effort.
Even from the trail the beauty of greens
and pinks grouping together before a
seemingly endless sea is easy to appreci-
ate.
Below the beach is empty and few oth-
ers tackled the trail on a recent weekend.
Making this quick trip to the coast a
lovely, mellow trip without ever leaving
San Mateo County.
The parcel purchase, which was nal-
ized Aug. 9, was made possibly by a $3
million grant from the Wildlife
Conservation Board. The scenic bluff
top, home to a section of the California
Coastal Trail and a popular spot with
hikers, is a natural extension of the
reserve, whose habitat-rich shoreline at
the foot of the bluff is a haven for a vast
array of birds and sea creatures, accord-
ing to POST.
POST purchased the bulk of Pillar
Point Bluff in 2004 and additional
parcels in 2007 and 2008. Since then,
POST volunteers and vendors have car-
ried out extensive stewardship projects
on the land, including removing invasive
Pampas grass, rerouting hiking paths
away from eroding slopes and reseeding
worn patches of bluff top with native
plants. POST also removed the crum-
bling foundation of a former dairy barn
and restored abandoned irrigation ponds
used by seasonal birds and resident
wildlife, according to POST.

HIKE
And when unemployment is chronical-
ly high, even many people who have jobs
worry about losing them. So theyre less
likely to spend.
Eventually, as consumers cut back,
corporate sales decline. Companies scale
back hiring even more. Weak spending
and hiring can feed on each other and
edge the economy closer to recession.
When the economy is barely growing,
its also vulnerable to shocks like natural
disasters and political upheavals. An
economy growing 5 percent a year can
absorb more punishment than one grow-
ing at 1 percent before it would slip into
recession.
Consumer and business confidence
was shaken this summer by the political
standoff over the federal debt limit, a
downgrade of long-term U.S. debt and
the nancial crisis in Europe. Tumbling
stock prices escalated the worries.
Even before it stalled last month, job
growth had been sputtering. The econo-
my added 166,000 jobs a month in the
January-March quarter, 97,000 a month
in the April-June quarter and just 43,000
a month so far in the July-September
period.
Underlying job growth needs to
improve immediately in order to avoid a
recession, said HSBC economist Ryan
Wang.
The dispiriting job numbers for August
will heighten the pressure on the Federal
Reserve, President Barack Obama and
Congress to nd ways to stimulate the
economy.
So far, the Fed has been reluctant to
launch another round of Treasury bond
purchases. Its previous bond-buying pro-
grams were intended to force down long-
term interest rates, encourage borrowing
and boost stock prices.
On Thursday, Obama will give a tele-
vised speech to a joint session of
Congress to introduce a plan for creating
jobs and spurring economic growth.
The importance of job growth cannot
be overstated, said Joshua Shapiro, chief
U.S. economist at MFR Inc.
The economy needs to add at least
250,000 jobs a month to rapidly bring
down the unemployment rate. The rate
has been above 9 percent in all but two
months since May 2009.
Roughly 14 million Americans are
unemployed. An additional 11.4 million
are either working part time but want
full-time jobs or have given up looking
for work and arent counted as unem-
ployed.
The weakness was underscored by
revisions to the jobs data for June and
July. Collectively, those gures were
lowered to show 58,000 fewer jobs added
than previously thought. The downward
revisions were all in government jobs.
The average workweek declined in
August. Cutbacks by federal, state and
local governments have erased 290,000
government jobs this year, including
17,000 in August.
There is no silver lining in this one,
said Steve Blitz, senior economist at ITG
Investment Research. It is difcult to
walk away from these numbers without
the conclusion that the economy is sim-
ply grinding to a halt.
The unemployment rate for black men
jumped a full percentage point in August
to 18 percent. Thats the highest level for
that group since March 2010. And unem-
ployment for black people as a whole
surged from 15.9 percent to 16.7 percent
even as unemployment for white
Americans ticked down to 8 percent from
8.1 percent.
Obama has faced doubts within his
own party, including black lawmakers
who say he hasnt done enough to help
chronic unemployment in black commu-
nities.
JOBS
Saturday, Sept. 3, 2011
A close, loyal associate who has always seemed to
have your best interests at heart may once again
prove helpful in the year ahead. What this person
does is likely to have something to do with making or
saving you money.
VIrGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- An unexpected beneft
might suddenly be available through a person who
has a connection to your family. Something of value
thats associated with this development may be in it
for you.
LIBra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Trust your own personal
assumptions rather than the opinions of another. Your
judgment is quite keen, making your assessments
right on target.
SCOrpIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Unexpected changes
that look like they could have an advantageous ef-
fect on your earning power are in the wind. Let your
imagination run rampant and nourish whatever occurs.
SaGIttarIuS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Developments that
contain elements of chance are your cup of tea, so
when one pops up, youre apt to jump on it. Be care-
ful, however, not to risk a lot to gain a little.
CaprICOrN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- A favorable shift is
likely to occur pertaining to an arrangement that you
have felt powerless to control. If you play your cards
right, you can turn things around to your advantage.
aQuarIuS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- You could hear from
an old associate who has an idea in which you might
want to participate. However, regardless of how good it
sounds, research it in depth before becoming involved.
pISCeS (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Opportunities might
develop in unique ways, so keep your eyes on the
horizon. If you act with alacrity, you could fnd a
handsome fnancial opportunity.
arIeS (March 21-April 19) -- Youre seldom at a loss
for new ideas, even if most of them end up collecting
dust. Today, however, your bits of ingenuity will actu-
ally come with means of expression attached.
tauruS (April 20-May 20) -- Although youre not
prone to putting your money down on an outright
gamble, you might be a bit more daring and uncon-
ventional, and take a big chance that could be costly
if things go south.
GeMINI (May 21-June 20) -- As long as youre able
to deal with someone on a one-on-one basis, you
can get along with just about anybody. Now is the
time to try to contact a stubborn, recalcitrant person.
CaNCer (June 21-July 22) -- By discarding old
methods that have proven to be unproductive and
replacing them with something brand-new, youll
better your chances of making substantial gains once
again.
LeO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Try not to schedule your day
too tightly. Spur-of-the-moment developments might
unexpectedly arise, and youll need to be free to
participate in them.
