City Hall powder scare

Mailer charged with sending false weapon of mass destruction
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
A San Leandro man sent letters lled with white power to city halls in San Carlos and South San Francisco during the summer, prompting hazmat evacuations and frightening the employ-
ees who came in contact with the substance, according to prosecutors who charged the alleged sender with felonies. The contents turned out to be white foot powder but led to the arrest and charging of Philip Harold Adams Jr., 37, with two felony counts of sending a false weapon of mass destruction.
Prosecutors say Adams appears to have mental health problems but dont yet have any further reason why he allegedly sent the legalsized envelopes to the city of San Carlos on June 20 and South San Francisco City Hall on July 5. At San Carlos City Hall, the powder got onto the hands and arms of a female employee who was seven-
Philip Adams Jr.
months pregnant. The whole thing was really weird, said San Carlos Assistant City Manager Brian Moura. Inside the envelope with
the powder was a stick of gum and a dollar bill. In South San Francisco, two female employees came into contact with the powder. All three were very scared and their sustained fear is what led to the charges being led as felonies instead of misdemeanors, said District Attorney

Bees: The beneficial bug

Interest grows in beekeeping as a hobby and a business
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
SAN FRANCISCO University of California ofcials on Thursday proposed a long-term budget plan that could lead to steep tuition hikes over the next four years if the state doesnt boost funding to the 10campus system. School administrators presented the multiyear budget proposal at the UC Board of Regents, which is seeking to address a looming $2.5 billion budget shortfall driven by rising costs and shrinking state support. The regents discussed the plan but didnt take any action. University ofcials said the plan would provide nancial stability to campuses, allow families to plan for college tuition bills and help the sys-
tem secure a long-term funding commitment from the governor and state Legislature. We must try to reach an agreement with the state of Mark Yudof California that will allow us to plan enrollment growth and tuition rates and capital improvements over the course of years, UC President Mark Yudof told the regents. Under the plan, UC would raise tuition by as much as 16 percent each year if the state doesnt increase funding to the UC system,

The hobby of beekeeping is growing rapidly, with local guilds seeing their memberships balloon by people interested in making their own honey, lotions or soaps. The Beekeepers Guild of San Mateo County has seen its numbers grow from 50 to 200 people in just two years, said Richard Baxter, the guilds president.

San Carlos voters have the chance this election season to place at least one new face on the City Council and, for the rst time in decades, a choice between two for treasurer. One incumbent and two newcomers are vying for two council positions while one challenger
hopes to unseat the current elected city treasurer in the Nov. 8 election. During the last council race, Mayor Andy Klein walked onto the council without any competition. This time, however, voters have a choice. Current Councilman Randy Royce is running alongside Mark Olbert, trustee on the San Carlos Elementary School District board,

Strange but True

No more cigarettes for smoking Malaysian orangutan
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia A captive orangutan often spotted smoking cigarettes given to her by zoo visitors is being forced to kick the habit, a Malaysian wildlife ofcial said Monday. Government authorities seized the adult ape named Shirley from a state-run zoo in Malaysias southern Johor state last week after she and several other animals there were deemed to be living in poor conditions. Shirley is now being quarantined at another zoo in a neighboring state and is expected to be sent to a Malaysian wildlife center on Borneo island within weeks. Melaka Zoo Director Ahmad Azhar Mohammed said Shirley is not being provided with any more cigarettes because smoking is not normal behavior for orangutans. I would say she is not addicted ... but she might have formed a habit after mimicking human beings who were smoking around her, Ahmad told The Associated Press. Shirley was so far displaying a regular appetite for food and no obvious signs of depression or illness, Ahmad said. Results from her blood tests and other detailed health examinations were not yet available. Nature Alert, a British-based activist group, wrote to Malaysian officials about Shirley earlier this year, saying conservationists who visited the Johor zoo often saw people throwing lit cigarettes to her in a pit-like enclosure. The group said Shirley seemed to suffer severe mood swings, sometimes looking drowsy and on other occasions appearing very agitated without a cigarette. Authorities last week also reportedly seized a tiger and a baby elephant that was kept chained at the Johor zoo. It is not clear when Shirley started smoking. Ofcials have estimated she is around 20 years old. Orangutans, which are native to rainforests in Borneo and Indonesias Sumatra island, can live up to about 60 years in captivity. Other countries such as South Africa and Russia have also reported cases of primates learning to smoke after zoo visitors ignored warnings and tossed cigarettes into the cages of chimpanzees.

Trinity College removes Barbarian invader from Web

DUBLIN Talk about a tough professor. Trinity College in Dublin was spoofed Thursday when an unknown prankster posted an academic prole of its newest English lecturer: a certain Conan T. Barbarian, complete with Hollywood mug shot of a shirtless, sword-clad Arnold Schwarzenegger in his maiden lm role. Trinity removed the parody site but not before dozens of fans had archived the Web page of the mock biography and turned it into an Irish viral sensation. Trinity spokeswoman Caoimhe Ni Lochlainn said the university had never had its Web site disrupted like this before. She conrmed that Trinity was certain it was an inside job, not the work of a hacker. Dr. Barbarians Trinity prole contains a warriors feast of references to the arcane plot of the 1982 lm, which was critically panned but a box-ofce hit that launched Schwarzeneggers movie career.

Bonsai show celebrates tiny trees

From bonsai trees that have been carefully crafted to look wind-swept and scenes of landscapes; trees that vary in shades of green to different colors altogether, the San Mateo Bonsai Club is ready to showoff their hard work at this weekends show. The club will be hosting their 48th annual Fall Bonsai Show this Sunday at the San Mateo Gardeners Association Hall located at 503 E. Fifth Ave. The free show will run from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. All of our members will be displaying their bonsai trees, said longtime member Josephine Witt. Years in the making, members of the San Mateo Bonsai Club enjoy displaying their hard work at this yearly event. Its very time consuming, Witt said. Theres a lot of effort that goes into raising a bonsai tree. From growing the plants traditionally in the outdoors to manipulating their sprouts to twist in unique patterns and carefully grooming their leaves, the bonsai show will provide the general public a chance to see and l e a r n about the art of growing bonsai trees. Along with the clubs dedication to growing their own trees, members are inviting those who are planning to attend and have bonsai trees, to bring their tree with them for free personal consultations. Our members have taken classes and are certied to do these consultations, Witt said. For those who wish to come out and enjoy the scenery, the show is open to all ages and there will also be a plant sale to raise money for the San Mateo Gardeners Association.

Burlingame on Postal Services cut list

STAFF AND WIRE REPORT
CITY GOVERNMENT
One year after creating the Burlingame Avenue Area Business Improvement District, leaders will once again ask for approval to make assessments. On Monday, a public hearing will be held on the topic. If a majority of businesses protest the assessment before the start of the meeting, the council can consider denying the application. Created last year, the improvement district generated much buzz with many but not enough businesses against the tiered assessment to generate $88,000 annually. The annual fees were between $100 to $625 per year depending on business size, location and square footage. No changes are proposed in the districts boundaries, assessments or business classications. At the same meeting, the council will consider lowering the number of people on the Beautication Commission from seven to ve. The council meets 7 p.m. Monday, Sept. 19 at City Hall, 501 Primrose Road, Burlingame.
The nancially troubled Postal Service said Thursday it may close more than 250 mail processing facilities across the country and plans to reduce service standards for rstclass mail in an effort to cut costs. Included in the study list of possible facility closures is the Burlingame delivery distribution center on Rollins Road. City ofcials had not heard of the proposal but wondered what it might mean for a possible sale of land at the Park Road post office site in downtown Burlingame, currently in the discussion stage. The national steps are part of a broad effort to cut costs for the agency that lost $8.5 billion last year and is facing ever more red ink this year as the Internet siphons off the lucrative rst-class mail and the stagnant economy holds down the growth of advertising mail.
Over the last ve years mail volume has declined by more than 43 billion items. We are radically realigning the way we process and deliver the mail, said Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe. With the dramatic decline in mail volume and the resulting excess capacity, maintaining a vast national infrastructure is no longer realistic. Postal ofcials said 252 mail processing facilities across the country will be reviewed over the next three months for possible closing. Currently there are 487 such ofces. Thats in addition to about 3,700 local post offices also being reviewed for closure. Closing the mail-processing facilities could affect 35,000 workers. In addition, the agency said it plans to reduce current delivery standards for rstclass mail. Such mail is now supposed to be delivered in one-to-three days depending on
how far it has to go. That will be changed to two-to-three days, meaning mailers could no longer expect next-day delivery in their local community. Ofcials said that could have some impact on commercial mailers but individual customers are not likely to notice the change. They promised to work with businesses to help solve any problems the change might cause. The closings and service changes could save the post ofce as much as $3 billion annually and are part of an effort to reduce annual costs by $6.5 billion. Other savings are being sought through requests that Congress allow the post ofce to eliminate mail delivery on Saturdays and change or eliminate an annual $5.5 billion payment the post ofce is required to make into a fund to cover future retiree medical benets.
South City hospital a top performer

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
Kaiser Permanente South San Francisco was ranked a top performer by a leading health care accreditation organization because of how it treats a variety of serious medical conditions, according to an annual report released this week. The hospital is one of four Kaiser Permanente hospitals in Northern California and 405 nationwide named top performers in key quality measures by the Joint Commission. The commission is responsible for inspecting and approving more than 19,000 health care organizations and pro-
grams around the United States. The top performing designation, which is new, recognizes excellence on measurement benchmarks for treating a range of conditions, according to Kaisers announcement of its honor. Quite simply, we are here to make lives better and we are honored to be recognized for what we believe in so passionately, said nurse Kevin Worth, a San Mateo area quality leader, in a prepared statement. The top performer hospitals represent approximately 14 percent of Joint Commission-accredited facilities that report core measure performance data. All of the
Kaiser Permanent hospitals named in the report, including South San Francisco, performed at 95 percent or better on all four core measures acute myocardial infarction, pneumonia, heart failure and surgical care. The other Kaiser Permanente facilities honored in Northern California are Hayward/Fremont, Manteca/Modesto and Sacramento Roseville. Kaiser Permanente hospitals in Harbor City, Panorama City and Woodland Hills were also recognized.

Warnings about Solyndra ignored

Regulators question PG&Es pressure test method
SAN FRANCISCO California regulators are questioning why Pacic Gas & Electric Co. used a substandard testing method to check for safety at one of its major natural gas transmission stations. PG&E has asked regulators to accept the procedure and let the company restore full pressure on two transmission lines this winter. But safety engineers at the California Public Utilities Commission said the hydrostatic pressure test a contractor performed at the Topock compressor station near Needles had deficiencies that could raise issues for PG&Es entire hydrostatic testing program. The company has said it did not perform a spike test at the station because it could have damaged equipment. Such a test would require increasing pressure on the lines. The commissions safety engineers ordered the company to perform the spike test to ensure the relevant pipeline segments are running at safe pressures. Commissioners will consider the companys request at a hearing on Monday.
WASHINGTON The Obama administration ignored repeated warnings about a cleanenergy loan program that has become an embarrassment for the White House amid the collapse of a California solar energy company that received more than $500 million in federal loans. At least three reports by federal watchdogs over the past two years warned that the Energy Department had not fully developed the controls needed to manage the multibillion-dollar loan program that provided more than $528 million to Solyndra Inc., a now-bankrupt solar panel manufacturer. The Silicon Valley company was the rst renewable-energy company to receive a loan guarantee under the 2009 stimulus law, and the Obama administration frequently touted Solyndra as a model for its clean energy program. President Barack Obama visited the companys Fremont, Calif., headquarters last year. Even as Obama praised the companys plans to hire more than 1,000 workers, warning signs were being sent from within the government and from outside analysts who questioned Solyndras viability as a going concern. Emails obtained by the Associated Press show that a White House ofcial dismissed reports about Solyndras gloomy future. An email from Greg Nelson, a White House ofcial who had been involved in the planning of Obamas May 2010 trip to Solyndras headquarters, to a Solyndra executive downplayed a July 2010 news story in a trade publication

BART spokesmans news conference stunt criticized

SAN FRANCISCO The head spokesman for the San Francisco Bay Areas commuter rail agency has come under criticism for attempting to stock a news conference with supporters angry about protests at San Francisco train stations. Linton Johnson sent an email to Bay Area Rapid Transit colleagues outlining his strategy to win over public opinion by showcasing loyal riders at the media event. The email was rst reported by the Bay Citizen online newspaper. The plan was to round up 10 to 15 BART supporters who would say protesters were putting their safety at risk. Johnson also provided a script for the supportive riders. Only one of the supporters contacted showed up for the August news conference and was not quoted by media outlets, which found many disgruntled riders on their own who were willing to share their opinions.

that criticized the companys nancial health. Seems B.S., Nelson wrote. A 2009 report by the Energy Departments inspector general warned that the DOE lacked the necessary quality control for the loan guarantee program, which was created in 2005 to support clean-energy projects that could not obtain conventional bank loans due to high risks. In July 2010, the Government Accountability Office said the Energy Department had bypassed required steps for funding awards to ve of 10 applicants that received conditional loan guarantees. The report did not publicly identify the companies that were not properly vetted, but congressional investigators say one of them was Solyndra. The company was the rst to receive a loan guarantee after the program was expanded under the 2009 stimulus law.
Bill aimed at breast cancer worries docs

By Sheila V. Kumar
SACRAMENTO It took seven years of annual mammograms and a cancer diagnosis for Amy Colton to learn something her doctors had realized from the beginning: Her breast tissue is so dense that it could have masked tumors on earlier exams. I requested a copy of the report sent from my radiologist to my primary care physician, and every single one said, Patient has extremely dense breast tissue, the registered labor and delivery nurse said. I was really outraged that I didnt know this. About 40 percent of women over 40 have breast tissue dense enough to mask or mimic
cancers on mammograms, but many of them dont know it. Mammogram providers in California will be required to notify those patients, and suggest that they discuss additional screenings with their doctors based on their individual risk factors, if Gov. Jerry Brown signs a bill that the Legislature passed this month. Similar laws have passed in Texas and Connecticut in the past two years but no data is available yet from either state on the effect of the legislation. The notice in the bill is a two-sentence notice that gets added to a letter, said the bills author, Democratic state Sen. Joe Simitian of Palo Alto. I believe these two sentences can save thousands of lives. Brown has not given his opinion about the bill, but many doctors oppose it. Researchers
studying breast density, a relatively young eld, said such requirements may end up causing undo anxiety in millions of women and lead to unnecessary and expensive ultrasound or MRI screenings. The California Medical Association, which represents 35,000 doctors, recommended a public education campaign instead of individual notications, and said there isnt enough evidence to support the idea the extra money spent on additional screenings will save more lives. Those tests could cost the state more than $1 billion, and many women wouldnt be able to afford them, said Dr. Karen Lindfors, a professor of radiology and chief of breast imaging at the University of California, Davis Medical Center in Sacramento.

Consumers squeezed from weak economy

Speaker of the House John Boehner speaks at the Economic Club in Washington,D.C.
Boehner: Debt panel can start on major tax changes

By David Espo
WASHINGTON House Speaker John Boehner urged Congress decit supercommittee on Thursday to lay the groundwork for a broad overhaul of the U.S. tax code, rejecting Democrats talk of tax increases but leaving open the possibility the governments take could rise as a result. Tax increases are not a viable option for the committee, Boehner declared in a speech to the Washington Economic Club, ruling out many of the proposals that President Barack Obama is expected to forward to the 12-member panel next week, including some that are part of his major jobs proposal. Boehner made his remarks as White House
ofcials disclosed that Obama intends to travel to Cincinnati next week as he campaigns for public support of his $447 billion proposal to cut into the nations 9.1 percent unemployment rate. The political symbolism of the site was unmistakable an overcrowded bridge that links Boehners Ohio with Senate GOP leader Mitch McConnells Kentucky, a span the president has cited as an example of the repair work his jobs program would make possible. Separately, White House spokesman Jay Carney said Obama will not recommend any budget savings from Social Security when he releases his recommendations to the decitcutting committee next week, despite the president signaling support for that idea in summertime debt-reduction talks with Boehner.
WASHINGTON Consumers are spending more to ll their tanks, feed their families and pay the rent. At the same time, the number of people applying for unemployment benets has reached the highest level in three months. The latest government data show that inationary pressures and a depressed job market are hurting an economy that barely grew in the rst half of the year. Higher prices could also keep the Federal Reserve from taking major steps to stimulate the growth next week when policymakers meet. When prices rise, consumers cut back on big purchases, such as appliances, furniture and vacations. Mixed reports on manufacturing Thursday and at retail sales in August suggest that may already be happening. A decline in demand forces businesses to put off hiring and even lay off workers. In August, the economy added zero net jobs. Unemployment benefit applications have increased in three of the past four weeks. Unless spirits improve soon, businesses will ramp up layoffs, consumers will pull back, and the economy will fall back into recession, said Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moodys Analytics. Consumer prices rose 0.4 percent in August, according to the Labor Departments Consumer Price Index. Prices for food, energy, rent, and clothing all increased. Excluding volatile food and energy costs, core prices increased 0.2 percent. Some ination can be healthy for the econ-

omy because it encourages people to spend and invest rather than sitting on their cash. More spending drives corporate growth, which makes businesses more likely to hire people. For the 12 months that ended in August, core prices surged 2 percent. Thats the biggest year-over-year increase in nearly three years, and its at the high end of the Federal Reserves informal ination target. Rising inflation is a key reason Macroeconomic Advisors lowered its growth estimate for the July-September quarter from 1.9 percent to 1.6 percent. The economic consulting rm said higher prices will reduce consumer spending. Economists dont expect prices to rise much further, mostly because employers arent hiring much or handing out big raises. Still, the spike in prices over the past year has cut into consumers pay and limited their purchasing power. In an environment where youre now looking at zero job growth, it will be difcult to have much success passing on any additional costs, said Tom Porcelli, chief U.S. economist at RBC Capital Markets.
Dr. Mehmet Oz accused of fear-mongering on juice

By Marilynn Marchione
Arsenic in apple juice! Fed to babies! And it probably came from China! Televisions Dr. Mehmet Oz is under re from the FDA and others for sounding what they say is a false alarm about the dangers of apple juice. Oz, one of TVs most popular medical experts, said on his Fox show Wednesday that testing by a New Jersey lab had found what he suggested were troubling levels of arsenic in many brands of juice. The Food and Drug Administration said its own tests show no such thing, even on one of the same juice batches Oz cited. There is no evidence of any public health
risk from drinking these juices. And FDA has been testing them for years, the agency said in a statement. The flap escalated Thursday, when Ozs former medical school classmate Dr. Richard Besser lambasted him on ABCs Mehmet Oz Good Morning America show for what Besser called an extremely irresponsible report that was akin to yelling Fire! in a movie theater. Besser was acting head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention before joining ABC news as health and medical editor several years ago.

Hero Marine saved other troops

U.K., French leaders take the stage in Libya
TRIPOLI, Libya British Prime Minister David Cameron and French President Nicolas Sarkozy offered broad support for Libyas new rulers Thursday, promising to unfreeze billions in assets and give help in nding Moammar Gadhafi, even as revolutionary forces attempted their rst signicant assault on the ousted leaders hometown. The Western leaders the rst to visit since Tripoli fell late last month got a welcome worthy of rock stars from jubilant Libyans grateful for NATO airstrikes that helped turn the tide of the war in their favor. Staff at a hospital in Tripoli applauded the two men as they visited patients who had been wounded in the ghting, and schoolchildren in the eastern city of Benghazi wore T-shirts that said Generations will never forget the favors and support from Great Britain and Sarkozy: Benghazi loves you.
WASHINGTON Defying orders and tempting fate, Marine corporal Dakota Meyer charged ve times in a Humvee into heavy gunre in the darkness of an Afghanistan valley to rescue comrades under attack from Taliban insurgents. On Thursday, Meyer was presented with the Medal of Honor, the nations highest military award, by President Barack Obama. Meyers courage during the six-hour ambush and reght saved the lives of 36 people, both Americans and Afghans. He killed at least eight Taliban insurgents. Firing from a gun turret on top of the Humvee driven by a fellow Marine, he provided cover for his team, allowing many to escape likely death. He was defying orders from his commanders, who told him to stay back. The kill zone, they said, was too dangerous. But the young corporal, just 21 years old at the time, knew his friends were trapped that early morning in September 2009. In Sgt. Dakota Meyer, we see the best of a generation that has served with distinction through a decade of war, Obama said during a ceremony in the East Room of the White House. Meyer, later promoted to sergeant and now out of the Marines, is the third living recipient and the rst Marine to be awarded the Medal of Honor for actions in Iraq or Afghanistan. The modest, soft-spoken 23-year-old now lives in his home state of Kentucky, working construction in the tiny town of Greensburg. Obama praised Meyer for his humility and work ethic.

reach him in the middle of a workday to tell him his medal had been approved, he worried about whether he could take a call while on the job. So the White House arranged for the president to call during Meyers lunch break. With a smile, Obama thanked him for taking the call. On the eve of the Medal of Honor ceremony, Obama and Meyer met in person, chatting on a patio near the White House Rose Garden, over a beer. Despite Meyers heroism, four Americans died in the ambush: 1st Lt. Michael Johnson, a 25-year-old from Virginia Beach; Staff Sgt. Aaron Kenefick, 30, of Roswell, Ga.; Corpsman James Layton, 22, of Riverbank, Calif.; and Edwin Wayne Johnson Jr., a 31year-old gunnery sergeant from Columbus, Ga. A fth man, Army Sgt. Kenneth W.

Medicare Advantage premiums dip, enrollment rising

By Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar
SAN FRANCISCO Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said Thursday she is optimistic the two American hikers being held in Iran will be released, despite a delay since Irans president announced the planned release. Clinton and Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said they continue to hope that the Iranian regime will release the two men as a humanitarian gesture. The pair has been jailed more than two years. We have seen in the past some delays that have occurred after decisions were announced, Clinton said. At this point we are not at all concerned, said Clinton, who was in San Francisco holding security talks with Australian ofcials.
WASHINGTON Turning a usually routine announcement into a pointed rebuttal of its GOP critics, the Obama administration said Thursday that premiums for popular Medicare Advantage insurance plans will drop for 2012, while enrollment is expected to rise. Thats welcome news for President Barack
Obama and Democrats, who are struggling with older voters ahead of a hard-fought election looming next year. Republicans have accused Obama of undermining Medicare to nance his health care overhaul. Indeed, during this weeks GOP presidential debate, Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann claimed the president stole from Medicare to pay for his plan. But Health and Human Services Secretary
Kathleen Sebelius said Thursday that Medicare Advantage premiums will average 4 percent less in 2012 and insurers running the plans project enrollment will jump by 10 percent. Ofcials said the average plan premium will be $32 a month in 2012, compared with the 2011 average of $33.48. Sebelius went on to take a jab at GOP critics.
Clinton mum on averting U.N. showdown over Palestine

SAN FRANCISCO Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton would not predict success Thursday for last-ditch talks with Israel and the Palestinians to avert what other diplomats have called a disastrous Palestinian plan to seek statehood recognition at the United Nations. She warned the Palestinians that their effort is shortsighted and cannot succeed.

Dollar access no long-term fix for Europes crisis

By Carlo Piovano and Daniel Wagner
LONDON Five central banks acted Thursday to shore up condence in Europes financial system by giving its banks far greater access to U.S. dollars. The move buys time for banks that hold large amounts of debt issued by Greece and other nancially troubled European countries. Some of these banks have had trouble paying for daily operations because other banks have refused to lend to them any more. Under Thursdays action, the banks can borrow unlimited dollars for three months, up from the current one-week limit. The European Central Bank said it will coordinate with the U.S. Federal Reserve, the Bank of England, the Bank of Japan and the Swiss National Bank to offer the loans through the end of this year. Their move to supply more dollars is similar to steps taken during the 2008 nancial crisis and again in May 2010. The news reassured stock markets, which have been battered by rumors that banks losses on their loans to Greece might sink them. Stock indexes in France and Germany each surged 3.1 percent. The euro rose against

other currencies. U.S. indexes rose by more than 1 percent. Concern about their access to dollars has been a key reason why European banking stocks have been beaten down. Investors have been particularly worried about big French banks Societe Generale and BNP Paribas. Thursdays news sent Societe Generales
stock soaring 8 percent and BNP Paribas 13 percent. Analysts cautioned that the expanded credit line for dollars isnt a long-term solution to Europes debt crisis. Greece still appears likely to default on its debts. If it did, some banks could topple. Panic might spread among global investors. The move will likely ward off a panic for the next few months, said Mark McCormick, currency strategist at Brown Brothers Harriman But its not going to solve the problem, which is too much debt, McCormick said. Still, he said the central banks acted wisely to address the problem now, before pressure on banks intensies further. When a bank is rumored to be in danger of suffering large losses, other banks will stop lending to it for fear of not getting their money back. Thats the scenario that led to the global credit crunch in 2008. Banks will then stop lending to businesses. The funding squeeze sties growth and hurts the global economy. Indicators of banking stress are at their worst points in three years, McCormick said. Still, they remain better than before Lehman Brothers failed exactly three years ago on Sept. 15, 2008 setting off a worldwide credit crisis.
Defying U.S., Palestinians press forward with U.N. bid

RAMALLAH, West Bank In a direct challenge to the United States, the Palestinians said Thursday they will ask the Security Council next week to accept them as a full member of the United Nations, even though Washington has promised to veto the measure. The Palestinian assertion came as a senior U.S. diplomatic team was in the region trying to avert an embarrassing showdown and
relaunch peace talks. By pushing forward, the Palestinians risk putting President Barack Obama in the uneasy position of having to veto a measure supported by the vast majority of the international community. Foreign Minister Riad Malki told foreign journalists the Palestinians were not looking for a ght. But he said the American stance puts the U.S. in a confrontational position with the rest of the world, and suggested American credibility could be at stake.
I dont know what it means to the standing of the U.S. in the United Nations and among the countries of the world, he said. Even so, the Palestinians left the door open for compromise. Malki said the Palestinians were still ready to listen to suggestions from American envoys. And in New York, his U.N. ambassador, Riyad Mansour, said a nal decision on whether to pursue recognition in the Security Council, or seek a lesser, symbolic status in the General
Assembly had not yet been made. The nal decision will be taken in the next few days as to which path we will follow, Mansour said. Asked about his bosss comments in Ramallah, he replied: There are many words from many places, but what Im telling you is that we are deliberating all these details and it is not yet nalized. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas was to give a speech Friday in Ramallah and there was speculation he might address the issue then.

Masur,MacAvoy and McBride for Redwood City schools

he Redwood City Elementary School District has had its share of difculties in recent years. It could be considered the poster child for diminishing funds at the local school level, has challenges with test scores and has a diverse number of both students and schools with high achievement and the need to improve. This year, district ofcials were also faced with an attempted sexual assault during a middle school eld trip to a park. The current Board of Trustees contends with the varied raft of issues with respect, professionalism and candor. Each bring a unique point of view, but overall, is a well functioning board that operates and functions best for the families that make up the districts community. No one could have predicted the horror of an attempted sexual assault, but the board tightened rules and regulations to ensure such
Editorial
a crime would not happen again and that everyone at all levels of the district are on the same page when it comes to expectations and oversight of such trips. There is an ongoing issue with safety. Without it, no child can be expected to rise in their achievement. It is that philosophy that challenger Lea Cuniberti-Duran adheres to in her campaign. It is an important issue, and one that she should be lauded for emphasizing. However, the three trustees running for re-election have that issue rmly in their mind as well. Shelly Masur, Alisa Greene MacAvoy and Dennis McBride have proven to be responsive and responsible in that regard. The three of them bring unique points of view and creative ideas whether it be utilizing community volunteers more effectively or adopting best practices of other districts. One such idea Masur is interested in is the anti-bullying program at San Mateo-Foster City Elementary School District that seeks to both identify issues and solutions in a collaborative approach. These types of hands-on approaches are evidence of the current collaborative and respectful relationship the board has with each other and its constituency. When it comes to nances, the district has recently lost 20 percent of its state funding while seeing an increase in students. Having to make do with less has been a constant struggle and the current trustees have created a special committee of community leaders to explore new avenues for funding. Thats a true step in the right direction.

Redwood City is an incredibly diverse city with a number of highachieving schools and those that are uniquely challenged.

The current board would be wise to listen and, with their history, they likely will.

Response to The suburb in search of an identity
Editor, Regarding their guest perspective, The suburb in search of an identity in the Sept. 13 edition of the Daily Journal, Dan Ionescu and Ralf Korbmacher hit the nail on the head. The introduction and habitual use of the automobile sealed the fate of American cities. The only ones worthy of the name, New York, Chicago, San Francisco and parts of a few others, developed their infrastructures before the growth of bedroom neighborhoods and freeways. The density, diversity and layering that the authors see at the core of the most productive and rewarding places to live around the world cant be achieved once the automotive threshold is crossed. My wife and I live in an old part of Burlingame. The nearest park is a one mile walk, the nearest restaurant or bookstore, a mile and a half. If our local library closes (to pay the pensions of the citys ambulance service) the nearest alternative is a two-mile walk. One has to drive to Millbrae to find even a McDonalds. This was OK when we were both working and spent our days, evenings and large parts of our weekends doing the business of Silicon Valley. Now we are retired and we fully realize the ways in which our environment is impoverished. We cant wait around for it to change. ble mess it continues to create.

McDonalds does not deserve praise for cleaning Cargill plan falling apart
Editor, I was pleased to see your coverage of McDonalds recent changes to its Happy Meals (McDonalds to put apple slices in every Happy Meal in the July 27 edition of the Daily Journal). While adding fruit and veggies to Happy Meals is a good step, McDonalds continues to avoid addressing the primary way in which the corporation contributes to the staggering rates of dietrelated disease; the hundreds of millions it spends aggressively marketing its brand to kids. The healthier Happy Meal remains high in salt, sugar and fat and, toy included, continues to function as a vehicle for hooking kids on the McDonalds brand at a young age. Not-so-healthy healthier items like apple dippers in a sugary dipping sauce are used to get more people in the door to consume those unhealthy items that remain the chains bread and butter: soda, burgers and fries. It is not enough for McDonalds to simply reduce the degree to which it is contributing to todays epidemic of diet-related disease. Nor does it deserve praise for cleaning up but a part of the terriEditor, I do not understand why building a new city on the salt ponds is still even a possibility in the minds of these developers. Cant they take a hint? We dont want it, no one wants it except the people who would profit from it. Cities and counties around the area are saying no and yet they dont stop. What will it take? Whatever it takes, lets get it done so we can move on to other things. These people are wasting our time and energy on a ridiculous, not well thought out, frivolous project.

Mike Moloney for president

Editor, Bravo for Rayna Lehman and Shelley Kesslers guest perspective, Observations on Labor Day, in the Sept. 5 edition of the Daily Journal. Yes, America has to support labor unions. Prosperity does not trickle down. Prosperity bubbles up! Thirteen people founded the Obama San Mateo County Organization in my home in 2007. Today, I support Mike
Moloney against President Obama in Democratic primaries. Mike sees foreign policy is missing from public debate. The debt cant be fixed until we fix our foreign policy. Mike will bring the troops home and end the wars now to have money for problems at home. He says fix treaties and tax policies which are unfair to our workers. Obama doesnt share your priorities. On July 7, President Obama offered to gut Social Security. Author William Greider writes If he is re-elected, he will be free to strike a truly rotten bargain with Republicans. Obama will lose the White House and Senate. Latino voters were Obamas margin in 2008. His deportations have alienated them. Democratic pollster Peter Hart said, Obama is no longer the favorite to win reelection. Pew Research reports his lead vanished as independent voter support has fallen. If Obama gets away with sellout, we will be forever disregarded as sheep. We must have a nominee who stands for our principles and keeps his promises. Mike Moloney is the most steadfast person I know. Mike will energize independents and Democrats. Obama threatens our well being and liberties. We must urgently stop him now like Gene McCarthy stopped Lyndon B. Johnson in 1968.

ov. Jerry Brown will have a hot pen this month as he signs or vetoes bills passed during the legislative session that ended Sept. 9. Theres no telling what will pass muster and what wont, but a look at some of his recent veto decisions reveals our past and present governor as a man with a smart legal mind who usually does the right thing except when his curmudgeonly evil twin takes over. Some of Browns veto messages and other memos are concise masterpieces of legislative wisdom. On AB 412, which allows Santa Barbara County to increase criminal nes to pay for local emergency services, Brown allowed the bill to pass without his signature, writing: Obviously, these penalty assessments are for good purposes.... Costs of such projects, however, should not be borne by a narrow class of citizens. Those who break the law should be fairly punished for their transgressions, but not be subjected to ever-increasing costs that are more properly the responsibility of the public at large. Sooner or later, we must nd better ways to pay for the public goods we truly need. It was an eloquent way to express distaste for the bill while acknowledging that the county cant get by without it. A similar philosophy prompted Brown to veto SB 28, which would have increased the nes for talking on a cellphone while driving without using a hands-free device. For people of ordinary means, current nes and penalty assessments should be sufcient deterrent, Brown wrote. Quite right. By the time fees and penalties are tacked on, the current ticket for holding a phone to ones ear costs about $190 for a rst offense; the bill would have upped that to around $310. Cellphone conversations do increase the risk of accidents, but its not at all clear that hands-free devices reduce the risk. Brown also vetoed SB 888, which would have made it illegal to protest on public property near a funeral. The bill was aimed at the Westboro Baptist Church, whose members picket military funerals to protest American tolerance of homosexuality. The U.S. Supreme Court this year rightly ruled that, offensive as Westboros protests may be, it has a 1st Amendment right to picket, which Brown noted in his veto message. And then, just when you think Californias leadership is nally getting back on track, Gov. Moonbeam rears his head. Also on the veto list was SB 105, which would have required kids under 18 to wear a helmet on the ski slopes and ned their parents for noncompliance. Skiing is dangerous, and the bill was no more intrusive than a similar (and effective) requirement for bike helmets, yet Brown vetoed it because he was concerned about the continuing and seemingly inexorable transfer of authority from parents to the state. That sentiment would sound better on a tea party greeting card than a veto message; the bill would have prevented death or brain damage for untold numbers of children.

Stocks rally on support plan for European banks
By Matthew Craft
Wall Street
Worries that European banks would have difculty borrowing have hung over markets in recent weeks. Its a key element in the European debt crisis, rooted in the fear that cash-strapped governments in Greece and Italy wont pay back their debts. European banks hold large amounts of debt issued by Greece and Italy, which they use as collateral to borrow dollars. The danger is that banks could lose their ability to raise money when other lenders wont take the collateral. Europes main stock markets jumped on the news. Germanys DAX and Frances CAC-40 gained 3 percent. The euro rose against the dollar as condence in Europes shared currency increased. Gold plunged $45, or 2.5 percent, to settle at $1,781 an ounce. Treasury prices fell, pushing their yields up. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note, which is used to set interest rates on a wide variety of loans, rose to 2.08 percent. The Nasdaq rose 34.52 points, 1.3 percent, to 2,607.07. The index has jumped 5.6 percent so far this week and is up 1.1 percent in September.

NEW YORK A joint effort by ve major central banks to support Europes nancial system set off a rally in U.S. stocks Thursday. Gold plunged and Treasury yields rose as traders sold the safest investments. Markets in Europe soared. The European Central Bank, the U.S. Federal Reserve and three other central banks said Thursday they would provide European banks with unlimited dollar loans. The aim is to fend off worries that the banks could be weakened by their holdings of government bonds from Greece and other struggling European countries. Its a pretty powerful action, said Brian Gendreau, senior investment strategist at Cetera Financial Group. And its another piece of news that leads you to think the crisis in Europe could be on the road to resolution. The Dow Jones industrial average rose 186.45 points, or 1.7 percent, to close at 11,433.18. The Standard & Poors 500 index rose 20.43 points, 1.7 percent, to 1,209.11.

its July forecast of 15 million. Netix kept its forecast for international subscribers, which makes up a small fraction of its total customers, and overall third-quarter earnings, intact. The plan split, which went into effect Sept. 1 for existing subscribers, means people who want both mailed DVDs and streamed Internet videos are paying more than they have. For example, a bundled plan that had cost $10 per month now costs $16 per month for existing customers.

Google, lawyers get more time for digital library
NEW YORK Lawyers for authors, publishers and Google on Thursday bought themselves more time to reach a deal to create the worlds largest digital library, telling a judge they were making progress in settlement talks but had agreed to proceed toward a trial of the 6-year-old copyright case on a slow track. U.S. District Judge Denny Chin in Manhattan approved a pretrial schedule that calls for written submissions and depositions that extend into next summer, but he made it clear that he would prefer a settlement and offered to help the parties in their talks if it might help. He called the amount of time in the schedule generous but acceptable. No trial date was set. Chin in March rejected a $125 million deal after the original agreement drew hundreds of objections from Google rivals, consumer watchdogs, academic experts, literary agents, the Department of Justice and even foreign governments. Google attorney Daralyn Durie said the parties had made substantial progress toward a new deal since a court hearing two months ago and expected talks to continue.
Diamond Foods 4Q net income up, raises outlook

SAN FRANCISCO Diamond Foods Inc. reported a 27 percent jump in its fourth-quarter net income as it sold more of its nuts, popcorn and recently acquired Kettle brand chips. The company, based in San Francisco, raised its full-year outlook. Its shares jumped in after-hours trading. Diamond reported after the market closed Thursday that it earned $8.5 million, or 37 cents per share, for the fiscal quarter that ended July 31. Thats up from $6.7 million, or 30 cents per share, in the same quarter last year. After adjusting for $9.4 million in acquisition and integration costs related to its purchase of Kettle Foods and its pending acquisition of Pringles, the company earned 52 cents per share. Revenue rose 32 percent to $232.8 million for the quarter. Analysts polled by FactSet anticipated the company would earn 44 cents per share on revenue of $216.3 million.

South City defense to be tested tonight

By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Game of the Week

off is scheduled for 7 p.m. Our defense does have a little bit of a swagger, said South City head coach Frank Moro. Theyre really excited about playing this team. They have a number of weapons. Indeed they do mainly the running efforts of Kristian Hernandez and Marcus Jones, who were part of a rushing attack that racked up 308 yards on the ground against Hillsdale in a 49-35 win. Jones had 121 of those yards.
There isnt a team walking around with more swagger right now than South San Francisco. And the cool in their walk is merited, given that the No. 8 Warriors are 2-0 in the young season, and have been carried by a defense that appears to be as good as advertised. But South City faces a formidable test this week when Mountain View comes to town. The Spartans come into Warriors territory in the Daily Journal Game of the Week kick-
Spartans quarterback Mike Butler is another one of those weapons. He completed 11 passes against the Knights for 126 yards. We didnt change a whole lot with what weve been doing, because weve been so successful with it. But what we saw with Mountain View is, they have some pretty hard runners, theyll hit holes, Moro said. But what they like to do, if they see the hole is plugged up, theyre going to cut it outside. They have some good speed. Their backs if they see nothing there, they can nd and create some stuff. So, we worked on containing these guys, make sure were keeping them in
the pocket, have some good form tackling. They go for some home runs, so another thing we have to do is make sure our DBs dont fall asleep. We have a good group DBs. They also have a big tight end, so were looking to shut one thing down. Were going to have to play good defense and shut a number of things down. It isnt like the South City defense hasnt been tested. Against Santa Clara, the Warriors only allowed seven points, this after the visitors had the ball on South City side of the eld

Panthers work for win Baer to

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Going in to Thursdays preseason matchup against Hillsdale, Burlingame volleyball coach Steve Erle knew that the game against the Knights wasnt going to be a gimme. I saw in the paper that they had beat San Mateo, Erle said. So I knew they werent going to be a walk and they could have taken us. I think my girls just got mad in that fth game and wanted to win. Desire, as it turned out, was indeed the deciding factor in a very competitive matchup between the front-runners in the Peninsula Athletic Leagues two divisions with the Knights falling to the Panthers 18-25, 25-22, 25-19, 19-25, 15-8. We put a scare into them and I knew that the fth set could be either/or, said Hillsdale coach Ricky Villareal. But mentally, I think they psyched themselves out. I think they should have been more aggressive, more condent, and believed that they can win it. We had a couple of mistakes and it just was a snowball effect. We have to shake it off, but this loss was really tough. A win is a win, Erle said. Were still working, we have a lot of young players, were trying to gure out what our rotations are going to be, and whos going to be playing with who. We had some communication problems and (Hillsdale) is a good team. The Knights showed just how good in the rst set, shocking the Panthers a bit with a 2518 win. And in Game 2, Hillsdale went stride for stride with Burlingame until the latter part of the set. The Panthers Madison McKeever was a passing machine in the second game, tallying 11 assists and setting up a couple of key kills as the Panthers pulled away to win 25-22. Morgan McKeever had four kills. Burlingame appeared to seize control in the third game, winning it handily 25-18. Isabell Walker put on a setting show of her own in the frame, setting up 11 winners. Morgan had another ve kills and the Panthers took a 2-1 lead. Burlingame has a lot of firepower, Villareal said. They just mix it up really well,

SAN FRANCISCO Newly promoted Giants CEO Larry Baer might be open to making a run at a premier free agent this winter, though his philosophy will still focus on building a franchise from the bottom up to develop a deep and talented farm system. So, might a slugger like Albert Pujols or Prince Fielder be splashing home runs into McCovey Cove come 2012? That remains to be seen. Thats been a winning philosophy, Baer said Larry Baer Thursday of relying on homegrown players. Thats a good template. Dont interpret that as we wouldnt go after a premier free agent but I dont think we wake up in the morning and say thats the rst choice. In a surprising move by the reigning World Series Bill Neukom champions late Wednesday, Baer is taking on a bigger role and Bill Neukom is stepping aside as managing general partner at the end of the calendar year. The announcement comes 10 1/2 months after the Giants captured the franchises rst title since moving West in 1958. Neither Baer nor Neukom would clearly

49ers defense making strides for new coordinator

SANTA CLARA Ray McDonalds shoulder-length dreadlocks ap from his helmet as he shoves through the offensive line for a sack.

when Tony Romo and the Dallas Cowboys come to Candlestick Park with something to prove. They blew a 14-point, fourthquarter lead to lose their opener 27-24 to the New York Jets on Sunday night. And Fangio doesnt want to get ahead of himself. Theres still plenty of
work to do. The 49ers havent had a winning record or been to the playoffs since 2002. It takes more than one game and the preseason, Fangio said Thursday. But really your team evolves during the season. You kind of get a feel, both from the coaches standpoint and the players just what your dominant personality is going to be, what style best suits you. That could change from week to week also.

Sandoval hits for cycle in Giantswin

Giants 8, Rockies 5
The four hits all came against starter Jhoulys Chacin (11-12). Sandoval is the 25th Giant to hit for the cycle and the rst since Fred Lewis accomplished the feat May 13, 2007, also at Coors Field. It is the 10th cycle recorded at Pablo Sandoval Coors Field. Jordan Pacheco and Chris Iannetta homered for the Rockies. The Giants built an early lead on Sandovals bat and poor elding by the Rockies. San Francisco took a 2-0 lead in the rst when Carlos Beltran singled with two outs and Sandoval
DENVER Pablo Sandoval tripled in the sixth inning to complete the rst cycle of his career and the San Francisco Giants beat the Colorado Rockies 8-5 on Thursday night to keep their slim postseason hopes alive. Ryan Vogelsong pitched effectively into the sixth inning and had two hits, and Brandon Belt homered for San Francisco. The Giants have won ve straight and prevented Arizona from moving closer to clinching the NL West. The Diamondbacks lead the Giants by seven games with 12 to play. Sandoval homered in the rst, doubled in the second and singled in the fth. In the sixth he hit a y ball to the base of the wall in right-center eld and beat the throw to third for the triple to complete the cycle.
homered into the second deck in right, his 20th. The Giants used two Colorado errors to extend the lead in the second. Brandon Crawford scored on a throwing error by shortstop Tommy Field. Jeff Keppinger hit a sacrice y and Pacheco misplayed Beltrans grounder at rst, allowing Cody Ross to score from second to make it 5-0. The Rockies got one back in the third when Chacin scored from third on Mark Ellis single. Pacheco made it 5-2 when he led off the fourth with his second home run. San Francisco made it 7-2 in the sixth on an RBI double by Ross, who scored on a double play grounder by Beltran. Vogelsong (11-7) allowed two runs and four hits, walked four and struck out eight in 5 2-3 innings. Santiago Casilla pitched the ninth for his
fourth save. Colorado scored three runs in the seventh on Iannettas 13th homer and RBI doubles by Chris Nelson and Eric Young Jr. Belt led off the ninth with his sixth homer to make it 8-5. Chacin gave up seven runs four earned and nine hits, walked four and struck out one in 5 2-3 innings.

they spread their offense really well. We were doing that in the beginning, we did good in the rst set but I know Steve, he caught on and started attacking the middle, but we couldnt get our blocks. And I said, Girls, this is your net, dominate. The Knights responded to their coachs plea in the fourth game by drawing even with a 2519 win. They had a big lead in the fourth game and let it get away, Erle said. We made a lot of errors in the third and fourth games, a lot of service errors, and hitting errors. It was just beating ourselves. Something must have been said in the Burlingame huddle heading into the decisive fth game that sparked the Panthers because they came out on re. Burlingame never trailed, building a 7-2 lead early behind the McKeever-McKeever connection and overwhelmed the Knights for the 15-8 win. We got some good energy, Erle said. Our starting outside hitter is a sophomore, I have one senior who actually started last year who played on the team, and the rest of them were pretty much non-starters. So we have some people that moved positions this year, so Im really kind of happy with how theyre doing. But then again, I know we have some work to do. We played a lot of tough teams in the preseason, Villareal said. And we dont care, we want to take them all on. I think we can take the Ocean Division title and thats our goal going in.
Eleven weeks into the lockout, NBA players and owners have at least one thing in common. Each side is unied, and wants everyone to know it. Solidarity among the ranks was the loudest message that emerged Thursday from separate gatherings to provide their constituents an update on collective bargaining talks. The meetings came two days after a session between the unions executive committee and the owners labor relations committee brought no progress after the league refused players desire to keep the current salary cap system. The union emerged from that setback saying the Nov. 1 scheduled start of the regular season
could be in jeopardy. Training camps have been expected to open Oct. 3. Union president Derek Fisher raised the notion of a fundamental divide between the owners internally in a letter sent to his membership earlier this Derek Fisher week. But after four hours of meetings among league owners in Dallas, Deputy Commissioner Adam Silver insisted there is absolute agreement, and its a complete ction coming from somewhere that there isnt. Commissioner David Stern hinted at some difference of opinion when he said there was virtual unanimity on approach. He then year, he said. We have a lot of guys that have been through it, that are experienced and thats helped us out a lot. You have to have some type of swagger, but you have to keep your feet on the ground, too. Mountain View is very athletic, they can y. Offensively, the Warriors have been able to do some things thanks in the large part to the development of quarterback Brad Los. In South Citys win against Capuchino, Los threw for 194 yards on 17-for-31 passing and two touchdowns. The difference with Brad between this year and last year is night-and-day, Moro said, I think he can still get better. Our goal is to win in October, Moro said.
explained that the differences are minor. Some people might say they want a hard cap with this wrinkle and someone says I want a hard cap with that wrinkle, Stern said. But I would say there is unanimity in favoring a David Stern hard cap period. Fisher and union executive director Billy Hunter met with about 40 players at a Las Vegas casino in what Fisher described as a very colorful and engaging meeting. NFLPA executive director DeMaurice Smith also spoke to the players, who were mostly in town to play in an Impact Basketball academy league. Weve wanted to do some things the last two Fridays that we havent done before. (Against Capuchino) we could have pounded the ball but we really needed to work on throwing the ball and I wanted to get Brad the experience of having to do that. Were still trying to learn how to get the ball to different people. So yeah, were going to put the ball in the air, but we can still run it. That said, for South City to win Friday night, theyll have to continue to play with that defensive swagger. High school football is a defensive game, Moro said. I think if we play defense the way were capable of playing, we can beat Mountain View.

numerous times. And its a Bruins team that turned around and hung 40 points on Los Altos the week after. Capuchino has a lot of good athletes too, Moro said. That was a relentless game. But near the end of the game, the defense just took over. Moro thinks his defenses swagger is being channeled in the right way though. We played with a lot of guys that were young last

lished what he is last year and hes continuing to follow in that way this year. Hes a premier back. McFadden downplays the praise, saying only that he wants to keep building on what he accomplished last season. Its great to get put in Darren that group, McFadden McFadden said. There are a lot of great backs in this league. I feel good about being in there. I want to keep working hard and keep showing what I can do. Despite missing the entire preseason after he broke an orbital bone in his face in practice, McFadden displayed no signs of rust in the opener, once again showing off the bigplay ability that led the Raiders to pick him fourth overall back in 2008. He helped set up Oaklands rst touchdown with a 20-yard run on a third-and-13 draw play, faking out Champ Bailey on the way to the big conversion. He added another 20-yard run on a eld-goal drive in the second quarter, lowering his shoulder to get a few extra yards at the end of the run. McFadden then showed off his elusiveness and speed on a 47-yard run early in the fourth quarter that moved the Raiders inside the 1 and set up Jason Campbells keeper for the touchdown that gave the Raiders a 23-13 lead. He was the only player in the league with more than one run of at least 20 yards on opening weekend, a year after leading the league with 14 such runs. 2008, he took down Seattle quarterback Tarvaris Jackson on third down to thwart the Seahawks rst drive. McDonald had two other hits on Jackson and nished with six tackles. He was close on so many plays last year. It felt good, McDonald said. I put the emphasis on that this offseason to nish plays that I really didnt nish last year. That was my main focus coming into this season. McDonald signed a $20 million, ve-year contract in late July, quite the long-term commitment for someone who had never been a regular starter. Yet new coach Jim Harbaugh had a good feeling all along about McDonald, someone he liked right away as a guy and as a person. By Antonio Gonzalez

McFadden picks up where he left off

By Josh Dubow
Fleener is Stanfords TD target

STANFORD Coby Fleener rst dominated on the hardwood as a high school basketball star. When he gave football a try, coaches stuck him at safety. Then receiver. Finally, tight end. Safe to say he has grown into the position. At 6-foot-6 and 244 pounds of muscle, Fleeners size and speed are making the Stanford tight end one of Heisman hopeful Andrew Lucks go-to targets. Fleener leads the sixth-ranked Cardinal (2-0) with three touchdowns, and hes looking to do more damage against an undersized Arizona (1-1) secondary Saturday night in the Pac-12 opener for both teams. I dont think people realize how fast he is, Luck said. Hes a big guy. But hes also fast. How fast? The second-fastest offensive player we have, safety Michael Thomas said, ranking him behind only receiver Chris Owusu, one of the best kick returners in the nation who will likely clock one of the top times at the NFL Combine next spring. Fleener has the perfect build for his position. He towered over other kids growing up, although he didnt put on weight until his late teens. When he was in high school, he could dunk a basketball before his freshman year. Fleeners mother, Michelle, and sister, Briana, used to get so upset that he stayed so t while eating anything and everything. In fact, he was even named after another big body. While pregnant with Coby, Michelle rst Watched the tape on Ray and we all felt that heres a guy thats just about ready to explode onto the scene, Harbaugh said. Its kind of like there have been some tremors, some earthquake tremors have been reported and sighted on the Richter scale and heres a guy that the big one could be coming. Thats why Ray was such a high priority for us to resign and get back on our football team. He had a marvelous game. The 27-year-old McDonald had started only nine games in his rst four NFL seasons, all in 2008. But he has emerged as the starter on the left end eager for the new challenge and responsibility. Smith has been a good example, starting 156 straight games. spotted the name Jacoby on a jersey while watching a Washington Redskins game it was left tackle Joe Jacoby, part of Washingtons famous Hogs offensive line in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The name stuck. I just think its so Coby Fleener funny, she said. Hes probably bigger than him now, too. Fleener certainly uses his size well. The long-haired, muscular tight end is too fast for linebackers and too big for cornerbacks or safeties. A matchup nightmare for almost every defense, he also has the backing of a strong-armed quarterback in Luck to deliver the ball with precision. Easy to see why the two have quickly become a dynamic duo. Going back to the Orange Bowl victory over Virginia Tech last season, the fth-year senior has scored on six of his last nine catches. And they are hardly goal-line lobs. The touchdowns have come from 60, 58, 41, 39, 38 and 3 yards. He has unbelievable speed for a guy his size, outside linebacker Chase Thomas said. Until his nal year in high school, Fleener gured his athletic career would take another path. He would push and pound players on the basketball court with ease, morphing into a rebounding machine at Joliet Catholic Academy in the Chicago suburbs. While he still calls it his dream to play both sports, it became apparent that hed have a better chance for a scholarship in football. McDonald would love to establish such a run. I guess theyve seen over the last couple of years what Ive been doing, even though Ive played sparingly, McDonald said. They recognized that and Im glad they signed me to a long-term deal. While McDonald often was on the eld in passing situations, he doesnt understand the criticism that he couldnt defend the run. Now, hes getting his chance to do both. At last. Im trying to show everybody that Im an every-down player, which I am, he said. When you come out and play good in the season opener, it should set the tone for the rest of the season.
ALAMEDA Darren McFadden started this season the way he ended the last one, making the big runs that ended talk about whether he would be another Oakland Raiders draft bust and started the conversation about where he ranks among elite NFL backs. McFadden ran for a league-high 150 yards in the season-opening 23-20 victory at Denver on Monday, building on the stellar performance last year when he rushed for 1,157 yards and scored 10 touchdowns. People laugh at me when I say this and Im going to say this now and I mean it with my whole heart: Darren McFadden is to me one of the most complete and elite runners in this league, coach Hue Jackson said. Hes a tremendous talent and Im expecting big things out of him. Offensive coordinator Al Saunders has compared McFadden to some of the other great backs he has worked with during his career, like Marcus Allen, Marshall Faulk and Priest Holmes. Quarterback Jason Campbell said McFadden should have been a Pro Bowler a year ago and the Raiders believe few backs are as versatile as McFadden, who is a threat as a receiver or a ball carrier. Ive been fortunate to be around some great running backs, but hes one of those guys you put in that class, Saunders said. Hes a young kid that has just tremendous speed and tremendous potential, he catches the ball extremely well and I think he estab-

The Jets are the three-time defending Bay Shore Athletic League champion and have lost a combined four games over the last three years.
St. Ignatius (1-1) at Menlo-Atherton (1-1), 7 p.m.

The Wildcats took out East Bay power Bishop ODowd-Oakland 35-20 last week. The Bears put up a good ght, but fell to Los Gatos, 27-14. St. Ignatius could easily be undefeated at this point, but lost by two points to an always strong Marin Catholic squad in the opener.

In tough economic times, large premium cars arent big sellers. But Hyundai is undeterred. The South Korea-based company is upgrading its 3-yearold, rear-wheel drive Genesis sedan with a new model that has Hyundais most powerful engine a 5-liter, direct-injection V-8 generating 429 horsepower. The 2012 Genesis 5.0 R-Spec also comes with a new, eight-speed automatic transmission, stylish light-emitting diode headlight trim, big, 19-inch wheels and sport-tuned suspension. All this, plus heated front and rear seats, navigation system with sizable, 8-inch display, rearview camera, power rear sunshade, standard lane departure warning system to help keep drivers in their lanes, 10 years/100,000-mile warranty coverage on the powertrain, ve-years/60,000-mile bumperto-bumper coverage, and wealth of other standard features, comes at a base retail price of $47,350. The value price compares with the $57,975 for a base, 2011 Mercedes E550 with lowerpower, 382-horsepower V-8 and no navigation system, rearview camera, power rear sunshade or lane departure system. The E550 also is smaller than the Genesis.

While his wife Janet blends the soap and lotion to her liking, he is in charge of taking care of the bees. And as president of the guild, he is pleased to see a growing interest in preserving the benecial bug. The interest is growing by leaps and bounds, he said. Hobbyist beekeepers are having the largest impact on the resurgence of bees. Its the hobbyists who learn about what dangers the bees face, including Colony Collapse Disorder, and take the steps to save the insects, he said. Although there is no known exact cause for the disorder, the Varroa destructor, a parasitic mite, is often to blame for the destruction of bee colonies, he said. Since 2006, the honeybee population has been diminishing at an alarming rate in the United States, with nearly 30 percent of them lost each year to a variety of causes, widely known as Colony Collapse Disorder. Honeybees pollinate about a third of all the produce grown in the country, including 90 percent of apples and oranges and 100 percent of almonds. Last year, Baxter lost nearly 80 percent of his bees to the disease. In San Francisco, longtime beekeeper Robert MacKimmie of City Bees has teamed with a company that produces tea made with locally-produced honey that has committed a percentage of its sales to combating the disease and increase the number of hives in the area. Honeydrop beverages has developed a campaign called Buy a Bottle Save a Bee with a mission to ght Colony Collapse Disorder by nancially supporting local beekeepers. Most of MacKimmies hives are located in San Francisco, although some are Five people died and 17 others were sickened in those attacks. Firefighters and the hazmat unit responding to the South San Francisco call evacuated some rooms and ultimately determined the letters contained white foot powder. One letter reportedly bore Adams return address and another piece of identifying information which led authorities tried back to the Golden Bear Hotel in Berkeley, Wagstaffe said.

roomy sedan. Auto enthusiast magazines knock the R-Spec for not really being sporty, and I agree the name R-Spec triggers expectations that this car doesnt meet. But I like that the R-Spec retains Hyundais usual pack-everything-inside-for-a-valueprice character while not adding harshness or cheap, boyracer customized looks. As an example, the R-Specs suspension tweaks for sportiness the rear stabilizer bar now is 19 millimeter in diameter, up from 18 millimeters, for example are mild. Yes, this Genesis rides better, with a more even, solid feel than the earlier Genesis cars. The test R-Spec moved over road bumps competently, not with any fuss or unsettled jarring. But anyone expecting the R-Spec to have an overtly rm, taut ride like a BMW or twitchy steering like a Porsche will be disappointed. And, at some 4,100-plus pounds, the R-Spec four-door also doesnt feel as ponderous as some German competitors. On the outside, theres not a lot to differentiate the R-Spec from other already attractive Genesis sedans. The biggest change is special, 19-inch wheels that are less sparkly than those that come with lesser Genesis models, which have maximum 18-inch wheels and tires. The R-Spec comes standard with those LED trim lights by the headlights, which add a jeweled look to the front but are a rip-off of Audis LED-headlight styling. Actually, you can nd many things on the R-Spec that remind you of pricier German luxury sedans. The front end, even though its subtly freshened on all Genesis cars for 2012, looks a lot like the front of a Mercedes. The electroluminescent gauges in the instrument cluster are similar looking to those in a Lexus, and the thick, cut-pile carpeting could rival that in an Audi. The interior remains quiet, with engine sounds from the 5liter, double overhead cam, direct-injection V-8 not growing to anywhere near a roar or growl even when a driver puts pedal to the metal. Power was smoothly delivered in the test R-Spec. The considerable 376 foot-pounds of torque came on by 5,000 rpm, and 0-to-60-miles-an-hour times peg the performance at a strong 5.3 seconds. A new, eight-speed, automatic transmission thats in all 2012 Genesis models manages power well while aiding fuel mileage. But premium fuel is needed for peak performance, and with a big, 20.3-gallon gasoline tank, the R-Spec will drain the wallet by some $80 for a ll-up, at todays prices. I managed about 18 miles per gallon in combined city/highway driving, which is less than the federal governments combined rating of 19 mpg. The R-Spec has the lowest fuel economy rating of all Genesis models 16 mpg in the city and 25 mpg on the highway. But this isnt out of line with other premium large cars with V-8s. Theres no major change in the cars interior. Thankfully, the R-Spec doesnt come with form-tting, sport seats in front. Rather, the wide, premium leather-trimmed seats from other Genesis cars remain and t just about everyone, though a bit more rmness and support in the cushions would be nice. The back seats 38.6 inches of legroom and 37.7 inches of headroom were comfortable for me and another passenger, but watch out for the hump in the middle of the rear oor. The back seats are heated.
BEES
Baxter and his wife Janet started keeping honeybees four years ago as a hobby but has since turned it into a moneymaking venture as the bees produce not just honey but wax that is used in all kinds of products such as soap, hand lotion and candles. Their company, Golden Harvest Beekeeping, produces a variety of honey ltered with lavender, sage and other aromatics. The couple sells their products at local fairs, including Insect Day in Portola Valley this weekend. The Baxters keep 95 hives in the county at various locations but just one in their backyard. Each hive contains about 40,000 bees and Baxter suspects he now oversees the health and welfare of over six million bees that live in his hives, sprinkled throughout the county. Thats a lot of bees to feed, he said. His bees produce about 500 pounds of honey a year, he said. Baxter decided to turn the hobby into a business when he realized there was a demand for locally-grown honey. People are looking for organic, healthy and tasty honey, Baxter said. Theyve been working with As Fresh as it Gets, which promotes locallygrown agricultural products, and sell their products at local farmers markets. They hope to get their products into local restaurants next. The Baxters will sometimes set up a stand in front of their home and sell to neighbors. Theyve also set up an online store that features all of the companys products, including its BeezSoap products.
located in San Mateo County. City Bees is starting to partner with a couple of farms on the coast and hopes to start producing more honey here that will eventually nd its way into Honeydrop teas. Honeydrop unveiled its bee campaign at the Natural Products Expo East in Baltimore this week. Honeydrop hopes to save the threatened bee population, as a percentage of prots from every bottle sold will be donated to the brands community beekeeper partners, helping them to build and maintain new beehives. Each new beehive increases the bee population by 40,000 to 60,000 bees, helping to combat Colony Collapse Disorder. Each 14-ounce glass bottle of Honeydrop contains one tablespoon of pure wildower honey, domestically sourced from regional beekeepers across the country. Honeydrops pledge should help to bring more bees into San Mateo County, MacKimmie said. For Baxter, he would like people to know that honeybees are not a danger. They rarely sting, he said. He hopes to see more people take an interest in caring for the bugs. The mission of the Beekeepers Guild of San Mateo County is to educate the public on the benets of honeybees. Keeping bees is a very worthy cause. We want more bees out there for the health of the environment, Baxter said.

Seguir Siendoreignites a passion for a band with a beloved history
By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
In a time when everyone knows everything about their favorite band, there is something refreshing about being clueless. Think about the best music documentaries of all-time Gimme Shelter, Dont Look Back or The Decline for example the thing they have in common is that before the day and age of reality television, paparazzi, etc. these
lms made you feel like an iconic artist just handed you a piece of candy, or you just experienced your rst kiss all over again. There was a bit of magic there. Its a shame that the age we live in hampers our ability to truly enjoy a music documentary. Now more than ever before, for a band to pull off a quality lm is rare. But Seguir Siendo: Cafe Tacvba, the opening night film at the San Francisco Latino Film festival, which
begins tonight, proves that music documentaries can indeed be great. In a genre that has become formulaic, Seguir Siendo does what a music documentary should do: It reignites a passion for a band with a beloved history. Its actually a shame you probably dont know who Cafe Tacvba is. To put that into perspective, its like not knowing who U2 is, Radiohead or The Beatles. Any conversation about Latin American rock, or even music,
starts with Cafe Tacvba. In their 22 years as a band, no group has left a more lasting impact on Latin America than the quartet from Mexico. In Seguir Siendo fans (and non-fans) get their rst real extended look at the band; their rise in popularity throughout the world and a glimpse into the creative process of a rare kind of genius, four-headed music monster.

MUSEUM GOTTA SEE UM

THE ART OF THE KILIM. A worldclass collection of Anatolian kilims gifted to the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco by Caroline McCoy-Jones is showcased in The Art of the Anatolian Kilim: Highlights from the McCoy Jones Collection, an exhibition of pre-19th-century Anatolian at-woven kilims considered the most important group of Anatolian kilims outside Turkey. Caroline and H. McCoy Jones, major patrons to the Fine Arts Museums Textile Arts Department, generously donated more than 800 textile works to the museum. The importance of these collectors is paramount in the textile arts community and The Art of the Anatolian Kilim is a celebration of their gift. Curator Jill DAlessandro said, The rst presentation of works from this collection in 1990 signied a breakthrough in the appreciation of this weaving tradition. Not only was it the rst time a Western museum had mounted a major exhibition dedicated to Anatolian kilims, but it was also the rst time that kilims of this age, rarity and fragility were seen by the public; subsequently, the Anatolian kilim entered into the pantheon of the textile arts. With more than 20 years passing since this important collection made its public debut, many visitors, scholars and textile enthusiasts will be able to enjoy and study them for the rst time. This selection of weavings were produced between the 15th and 19th centuries by seminomadic and village women of Anatolia, the land east of the Aegean often called Asia Minor by ancient geographers, that constitutes much of present day Turkey. Woven in the slit-tapestry technique, primarily from the wools of sheep, goats or camels, these works obtained their rich, earthy hues from natural dyes derived from locally harvested sources (with the exception of indigo, which is imported). The kilims are characterized by bold abstract designs that have been translated as symbolic renderings of architectural, human, animal and oral motifs, some of which trace back to Neolithic times. The term kilim is not a technical term in that it defines a particular woven structure. It appears to have originated in the Near East as a general designation for at-weavestex-

tiles without pile. In the past decade the term kilims have been used almost exclusively to denote textiles in tapestry weave. Kilims were not only created for personal use but also serve as an expression of group identity, a representation of wealth and a source of currency. Over the centuries and up to modern times, both technique and design have been passed down from generation to generation of Anatolian women. Traditionally, they were used as oor and table coverings, room dividers, door aps, prayer rugs and burial cloths. Many were given to local mosques to be used as oor coveringslayered one on top of another, they lent warmth and comfort. The kilim was also an important part of a brides dowry. DAlessandro said, These surviving examples, in their fragmented states, show the passage of time. Although structural disintegration has interrupted the design eld on some of these pieces, their colors remain deeply saturated and their patterns simple and powerful. The de Young Museum is located at 50 Hagiwara Tea Garden Drive in Golden Gate Park. In conjunction with the kilim exhibit, Cathryn Cootner, Textile Curator Emeritus, gives the FAMSF Textile Arts Council Lecture on Discontinuous Yarns: The Brilliance and Beauty of Anatolian Kilims.

In Restless,quirk searches for a movie

By Jake Coyle
In Gus Van Sants latest lm of young melancholy, the bright teenager Annabel Cotton (Mia Wasikowska) shows her new friend and budding love Enoch Brae (Henry Hopper) her simple sketches of bugs and proudly declares herself a naturalist. In more than a dozen lms over 25 years, Van Sant has been making the same statement. His films, often set in his hometown of Portland, Ore., are beautifully textured, consistently atmospheric and artfully framed with the lightest of touches. He has grown a fondness for long tracking shots, but in Restless, his camera mainly stays closer, in distance and emotion, to its subjects: principally Enoch, adrift after the deaths of his parents in a car accident, and Annabel, who has three months to live before inoperable cancer kills her. Restless, earnest and eccentric, is on the sentimental side of Van Sants lmography, to be filled alongside 2000s Finding Forrester. Its a story of innocence greeting death, and making it a plaything. Van Sant has always been the cinematic equivalent of an Elliott Smith song: gorgeous, morbid and heavy on the bangs. He has a knack for pretty, young, shaggy things and his latest nd, Hopper (the son of Dennis Hopper, making his lm debut), is no exception. Enoch is rst glimpsed drawing a chalk outline of himself on the pavement, somewhere around Portland in the fall. After the death of his parents, he has dropped out of high school and now spends his time crashing funerals, intrigued by deaths myriad ways. Annabel spots him as a fraud at a funeral shes attending sincerely. His mistake? Wearing formal, black garb to a laid-back memorial service. Enoch has more or less given up, and generally just slumps around with snotty sarcasm. He engages in long scenes, playing Battleship and tossing stones, with a sort of ghost or imaginary best friend, a former kamikaze pilot named Hiroshima (Ryo Kase). Annabel, on the other hand, has no cynicism, despite her condition. Shes almost gratingly cheerful, and upon hearing her veritable death sentence, she reasons that three months is a lot of a time, relatively speaking to an insect. She and Enoch become fast friends, bound
Five best Gus Van Sant films

By Christy Lemire
LOS ANGELES Gus Van Sant has made an eclectic array of lms over the past quarter-century, but throughout that time hes repeatedly explored the restlessness of youth. This week, the director is out with his latest which happens to be titled Restless about a couple of teenagers (Henry Hopper and Mia Wasikowska) who are fascinated with death. Its not a career highlight for him its too twee and never achieves the emotional resonance it seeks but it provides us with a good opportunity to pick ve of his best lms. A quick note: I would have loved to have found room for Paranoid Park, but I only get to pick ve. Thats why the game is fun: Good Will Hunting (1997): Van Sant sometimes makes small, quiet lms that challenge your attention span, and I admire him for such daring. But one of his most mainstream movies also happens to be one of his best. Nominated for nine Oscars (including best picture), it won two: for supporting-actor Robin Williams and for the original screenplay from co-stars Matt Damon and Ben Afeck. Its uplifting story arc may be formulaic but the strength and honesty of the performances give it surprising emotional heft especially from Damon as a troubled math genius in the role that marked his arrival as a major, serious actor. And the sense of place Van Sant evokes together by a plain-spoken honesty about death. They try to disarm its power however they can. They playfully converse with Enochs parents gravestone (a scene scored with a nod to Terrence Malicks Badlands). They mockingly practice their tone in clichi expressions like, Im so sorry for your loss. Sneaking into a morgue, they conjure stories behind each chambers contents, like young lovers imagining shapes in clouds. At its worst, Restless is trite adolescence and cloying quirk, a pretty picture of young, pretty death, outtted handsomely in autumn
of working-class Boston is inescapable. Milk (2008): On its surface, this could have been shamelessly mawkish. Instead, Van Sant presents the last eight years in the life of Harvey Milk, the slain San Gus Van Sant Francisco politician and gay rights activist, with a mix of vivid details and nuanced heart. Hes also drawn from Sean Penn one of the most glorious performances ever in the actors long and varied career, one that duly earned Penn his second best-actor Oscar. Milk also won an Academy Award for Dustin Lance Blacks original screenplay. It hits all the important marks but never feels like a typical biopic, a supercial, greatest-hits collection. Jumping back and forth in time, Milk flows easily and comfortably; it makes us feel like were witnessing the natural, propulsive drive of a life that mattered. Drugstore Cowboy (1989): An all-time classic drug movie, it realistically depicts the desperation that takes hold when youre hooked. Its also a great movie about criminals on the run, and how they create their own little universe while trying to avoid the real world. Matt Dillon alternates between cool charisma and manic superstition as the leader of a group of junkies (Kelly Lynch, James Le Gros, Heather Graham) who rob pharmacies to feed their habit in 1971 Portland. In their own screwed-up way, scarfs and cloche hats. It certainly doesnt have the spark of Harold and Maude. The inevitability of death makes the tension for a number of Van Sants lms, like Milk and Elephant, both of which build toward an expected tragedy. Restless never summons the power of those lms, and instead merely approaches poignancy. Hopper, who handles humor well and has something of his fathers roguishness, and Wasikowska, the ne young actress of Jane Eyre and In Treatment, are well matched. They give the alternatively smart and cringe-
theyre formed a community, and they look out for each other. Their lives are cheaply thrilling and deeply sad. To Die For (1995): A pitch-black, razor-sharp satire about the desire for fame and the lengths to which people will go to acquire it. Nicole Kidman is both hilarious and frightening as a perky but driven smalltown wife with dreams of becoming a bigname television personality. In an array of candy-colored get-ups and a perfect coif, shes a Barbie doll with ice water in her veins. But her dark side reveals itself as she plots to kill her husband (Dillon, again) with the help of some mist teenagers (including Joaquin Phoenix and Casey Affleck). Working from a script from Buck Henry, himself a TV veteran, Van Sant never lets up on her, or on the characters who might have seemed innocent at the lms start. My Own Private Idaho (1991): Its impossible to look back on one of River Phoenixs lms without feeling great sadness and wondering what might have been. Here, he plays a scruffy, narcoleptic hustler named Mike whos woefully adrift and in need of some human tenderness. Its a delicate performance in a dangerous world and watching it, you long to see him protected sand safe. His only real friend is Scott, played with cool condence by Keanu Reeves. He hustles not because he needs to the son of Portlands mayor, he has a large inheritance coming his way but because its rebellious. Together they navigate a landscape thats both absurd and dreamlike. inducing screenplay by Jason Lew (a college classmate of producer Bryce Dallas Howard) a reasonable degree of believability and genuine affection. Nevertheless, the material isnt up to Van Sants abilities, and the impression of Restless is of a lmmaker playing with familiar themes and searching for an adequate vessel. The title, perhaps, applies to him. Restless, a Sony Pictures Classics release, is rated PG-13 for thematic elements and brief sensuality. Running time: 95 minutes. Two stars out of four.

a new virus could be both so deadly and contagious at the same time. The team behind the lm used several expert consultants and went to other lengths to get scientic details correct. That included working with esteemed Columbia University epidemiologist Dr. W. Ian Lipkin to create the ctional MEV-1 virus. Its modeled on the Nipah virus a dangerous bug rst seen in Malaysia a dozen years ago that spread from pigs to farmers. Efforts also involved actress Kate Winslet sitting down with a female CDC disease investigator so she could correctly copy such things as the investigators clothes, mannerisms and even how the scientist might wear her hair on a eld assignment. Overall health ofcials say they were very pleased with what resulted. During an advance screening for CDC employees in Atlanta last week, some in the audience laughed appreciatively to see visual details and even lingo that they never imagined would be used in a mass-market motion picture. It was very accurate. It kind of made us all chuckle because there were things that we thought only people at CDC might get, said Laura Gieraltowski, an expert in foodborne characters in their own right, and in the lm, theyre forced to sit as individuals and to tell their stories and talk about their struggles as such. The band says that their goal was to give the audience a more intimate view, and in that sense they succeeded. All this seems pretty clich for a music documentary technically, any old band can pull this kind of stuff off, right? Yes, but for a music documentary to be great, like Seguir Siendo is, there has to be something interesting, intriguing and compelling about, the music. There has to be something mysterious about how it has always made you feel. For a music documentary to be great this intrigue cannot revolve around the band members, especially today when everyone has to be a character, everyone plays for the camera, there is little genuine or real about it. But the nuances and attractions that revolve around the music (and then by extension, the band) cannot be faked. And that is why Seguir Siendo works.

Scientists say film Contagionfor real

By Mike Stobbe
ATLANTA Yes, it could happen. But its a stretch. Contagion, a Hollywood thriller that opened last weekend, rocketed to No. 1 at the box ofce through its gripping tale of a ctional global epidemic driven by a new kind of virus. Audiences have gasped in horror at what happens to Gwyneth Paltrow. Before it was out, the movie made real-life disease investigators anxious, too, though for a different reason: They had worried the lmmakers would take so many artistic liberties with the science that the result would be an incredible movie that was ... not credible. Well, cue the applause. Its very plausible, said Dr. Thomas Frieden, head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which would investigate such an outbreak. A new virus jumping from animals to humans? Nothing ctional about that. Global spread of a disease in a few days? In this age of jet travel, absolutely. A societal meltdown if things get bad? Plan on it. Yikes. The only bit of relief here is that several experts think the odds are pretty long that

Caifanes will reunite Sunday in San Francisco. Like Contagion, that lm had a respected director and an all-star cast, but the scientic miscues were laughable.

A little fat gives salmon big flavor

Though relatively high in fat especially compared to most white sh salmon is a great choice for a healthy diet. Thats because salmons fats fall mostly in the good-foryour-heart unsaturated category. Which is a happy coincidence, because that fat happens to be key to salmons moist texture and rich, indulgent avor. It also makes it a breeze to cook. The oils in salmon make it hard to overcook and dry out. So for a simple and healthy summer dinner, weve paired salmon with a mushroom hash. The earthy avor of shiitake mushrooms mixed with shredded potatoes complements the rich sh. And a touch of soy sauce lends a pleasantly salty touch to cut through the oil.

SALMON WITH SHIITAKE HASH

Start to nish: 30 minutes Servings: 4 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided 6 ounces shiitake mushrooms, stemmed and sliced 2 shallots, chopped 1 small red onion, chopped 2 small red potatoes, grated 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce Ground black pepper, to taste Four 4-ounce salmon llets 1 scallion, thinly sliced In a large saute pan over high, heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Add the mushrooms and saute until well-browned, about 8 to 10 minutes. Lower the heat to medium-high, then add the shallots and onion. Saute for 6 to 8 minutes, or until the onion becomes soft. Add the potatoes and continue to cook until the potatoes are tender and beginning to brown. Season with the soy sauce and black pepper. In another large saute pan over medium-high, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Cook the salmon llets for 4 to 5 minutes per side, or to desired doneness. Serve each piece of salmon with the shiitake hash. Top everything with a sprinkling of scallions.

Want to transform pizza from greasy to healthy? You can start by leaving off the cheese. In fact, most of time its the toppings that turn pizza into junk food. Add sausage, pepperoni or bacon and your favorite pie by turns into a fat and calorie catastrophe. It isnt hard, however, to end up with a relatively healthy meal, especially when making it at home. For lighter toppings stick with vegetables, starting with the traditional tomato sauce. Tomatoes are loaded with healthy antioxidants such as lycopene, plus theyre high in avor and fat-free. If you want to skip the sauce, you can make a white pizza sauce by pureeing roasted garlic cloves with a small amount of extra-virgin olive oil. As for meat toppers, stay away from the greasy sausage and pepperoni. Prosciutto is satisfying and has a great salty avor, but is much less fatty than bacon. If your heart is set on sausage, choose lower-fat turkey versions or even try vegetarian sausage crumbles, which are surprisingly tasty. You can nd vegetarian sausage with other meat substitutes, usually in the produce or frozen foods sections. Finally, for additional nutrients and dietary ber, include some whole-wheat our in the dough.
This grilled summer herb and olive focaccia gets intense avor from fresh rosemary and thyme along with a handful of chopped Kalamata olives layered into the crust. Grilling a pizza, focaccia or atbread gives it a great smoky avor and lets you avoid heating up your kitchen in summer. But if you like, you can bake this at 450 F for 12 to 15 minutes. To make this light atbread even easier to prepare, you can use a 1 1/2-pound ball of store-bought white or wheat pizza dough for the crust.
GRILLED HERB AND OLIVE FOCACCIAS

Start to nish: 1 hour (25 minutes active) Servings: 8 For the dough: 1 1/2 cups all-purpose our 1/2 cup whole-wheat our 1 package (2 1/4 teaspoons) quick-rising yeast 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon sugar 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil 3/4 cup warm water For the topping: 1/4 cup pitted and chopped Kalamata olives 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme In a food processor with a bread blade, combine both ours, the yeast, salt and
sugar. Pulse to mix. In a measuring cup, combine the oil and water. With the food processor running, gradually pour the liquid through the feed tube. If the mixture is too dry, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of additional warm water. Process until the dough forms a ball, then process for 1 minute more to knead. Transfer the dough to a lightly oured surface. Cover with plastic wrap and let rest for 15 minutes before rolling. Coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray. Cut the dough into 4 pieces and roll out into circles. Sprinkle each piece of dough with some of the olives, then fold in half and then in quarters to incorporate the olives into the dough. Roll each ball of dough out again into a circle and place on the prepared baking sheet. Cover with a clean dishtowel and let rise at room temperature for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, heat a gas grill to high on one side and medium-low on the other. Set 2 of the dough circles on the hot side of the grill and cook until the underside is golden brown, about 6 to 8 minutes. Keep a close eye on the color, as grill temperatures vary widely. Using tongs, ip the crusts to the cooler side of the grill, brush with olive oil, sprinkle with some of the herbs and close the lid of the grill. Cook, rotating once or twice, until hot and crisp. Repeat with the remaining pieces of dough, olive oil and herbs. Cut each focaccia in half to serve.

THE DAILY JOURNAL

Olbert, 56, said he will not endorse one of the other two candidates not out of any negative opinion but as a matter of policy. Olbert has lived in San Carlos 14 years with his wife, Barbara McHugh, and has two children. He is Randy Royce a retired nance executive and is in his 10th year on the San Carlos Elementary School District Board of Trustees. Aside from the council, San Carlos voters must also sharpen up their knowledge of the city treasurer a position that has been held by the same Mark Olbert person for more than two decades and which some believe should be appointed rather than elected. The treasurer earns a monthly salary of $300, is responsible for managing, investing and depositing funds. Galvin, 65, took the spot in 1987 after beating out councilman Gayton de Ron Collins Rosa by 800 votes. Shortly after the ling period ended, Galvin told the Daily Journal he would not shape his campaign any differently in the current contested race than in years past and stands on his past accomplishments. Galvin has lived in San Hal Schuette Carlos for 57 years and has a wife, Ernestine, and three children. A certied public accountant, he has taken a minimum of 80 hours continuing nancial education every two years since 1979. Schuette, 71, is a retired banker who ran for South San Francisco treasurer in Mike Galvin 1972. He sat on the citys Economic Development Advisory Commission from September 2006 to December 2009, taking particular pride in the planned Palo Alto Medical Foundation hospital, and has lived in the city with his wife of 49 years since 1976. In 2009, the City Council considered asking voters to change the position from elected to appointed. At the time, Galvin told the councilmembers he was indifferent to the decision because the positions duties have diminished in the last two decades hes held the job.

ELECTION
and Realtor Ron Collins. The second seat was held by mayor Omar Ahmad who died unexpectedly in May and is temporarily lled by former mayor Brad Lewis. Treasurer Mike Galvin hopes to hold on to the job hes held since 1987 but must rst beat out opponent Hal Schuette. Royce, 60, said he is campaigning just as seriously this time as he did during his previous run. His lawn signs may have a little more rust, he said, but the goal is the same. I dont know if Ill get 5 percent of the vote or 99 percent, but Im working just like it is the rst time. This is important not only to me but also the citizens of San Carlos, he said. Royce, a 32-year resident, has a wife, Yvette, and two grown sons. Before joining the council, he sat on the Planning Commission, Economic Development Advisory Commission and Arts and Culture Commission. Royce said hes having the time of his life and is running to continue working with the council team. I really have the advantage of momentum, he said. Royce is formally endorsing Collins although he said Olbert is very bright. Collins, 61, jumped into the council race early, formally announcing in June ahead of the formal ling period. Collins, owner of Collins Insurance and Investment Services and Chamber of Commerce president, said he would have been the rst person cheering on Ahmads bid for re-election but, after his death, realized it was time to run himself. Collins said hes working hard on his campaign to get the word out and raise funds. He also said hes not yet at a stage to endorse anyone else in the race. Collins has lived 44 of his 60 years in San Carlos and other county cities and has been married to his wife, Gayle, for 35 years. He ran an unsuccessful campaign in 1987 for school board but may be best known for his wide civic involvement. He belonged to the Kiwanis Club for more than 15 years and is president of the Chamber of Commerce. He also ran former mayor Don Eatons council campaign, spent four years on the Planning Commission and was named last year to the citys Economic Development Advisory Commission. Olbert is enjoying campaigning, estimating hes visiting 1,000 homes and spoke with maybe 400 people. Campaigns may be a source of stress but at the end of the day they force candidates to explain why they should be elected, he said. Olberts name was thrown around as a contender before he declared and he said community opinion telling him he should run played a large role in doing so. It may sound a little bit quaint, but I think the city has tremendous opportunities in front of it, he said.
TUITION
which has about 412,000 undergraduate and graduate students. The size of the tuition hike would depend on how much the state contributes. For example, if the state boosts funding by 8 percent, the university would increase tuition by 8 percent. A 4-percent increase in state funding would lead to a 12-percent tuition hike. If state funding remains flat for the next five years, basic tuition for California residents would top $22,000 by the 2015-2016 academic year. Undergraduates currently pay $12,192 in annual tuition, which doesnt include room, board or campus fees. Thats more than three times what they paid a decade ago. Claudia Magana, president of the University of California Students Association, said a multiyear budget plan would reduce pressure on lawmakers and school administrators to find other funding sources besides student tuition. To walk us into a plan that depends on student fees is a poor choice, said Magana, who attends UC Santa Cruz. The ones who going to be impacted the most are middle-class students who
receive limited financial aid. Over the past three years, the UC system has seen dramatic swings in government funding as the state struggles to close massive budget shortfalls caused by the economic downturn. In July, UC officials approved a 9.8 percent tuition increase for the current school year on top of a previously approved 8 percent after the state reduced UC funding by $650 million, or about 20 percent. The system could lose another $100 million if the state generates less revenue than anticipated. This year for the first time, the University of California will receive more money from student tuition and fees than it receives from the state. Some regents supported the multiyear budget plan, but others want the university to seek other ways to address its financial challenges. Board Chair Sherry Lansing asked school officials to develop plans to raise revenue by lobbying state lawmakers, seeking corporate donations and building public support for the university. This scenario that were looking at is not what we want, Lansing said. Theres not a person around this table that wants to increase tuition. Weve done enough. I want to talk about what we can do to change this dynamic.

Conditions look extremely favorable for you in the year ahead, involving several major constructive changes that need to be made. Even if it isnt you who precipitates them, they will turn out to be to your liking. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Seek out a friend who has had similar experiences to what youre going through right now. This person can provide you with the solution to a problem that is plaguing you. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Lady Luck is with you regarding an area that has provided you with a second source of income. She is telling you that it might be worthwhile to give it your undivided attention.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- If you go out of your way to be warm, friendly and generous, your associates will imitate your behavior. Needless to say, itll be worth it. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Rewards for work well done are likely to be far grander than usual, not just in the material sense, but in personal ways as well. Its imperative that you do your best. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Your popularity with your peers is much stronger than usual. Even those whom you suspect dislike you are apt to be saying nice things.

One in particular has some valuable information to share with you that will help to strengthen your position.

Think twice about delegating matters of importance to a surrogate. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Although something with far-reaching positive effects could develop,
youre not likely to be aware of all it can offer you. Stay on top of matters. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Without explanation, you might be pleasantly received by someone who has treated you with indifference up until now. Accept the results when you get them, without resurrecting the past. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Lady Luck could help further your aims if you adopt a more positive mode of operation. Set your sights higher than usual and have faith in your talents and abilities. COPYRIGHT 2011, UNITED FEATURE SYNDICATE, INC.
