FRESNO — California regulators

voted Thursday to establish a high-
level, independent panel to investi-
gate the San Bruno gas line explo-
sion that killed seven people and
torched dozens of homes in the hills
overlooking San Francisco Bay.
The resolution adopted 4-0 by the
California Public Utilities
Commission also called for a review
of management practices at Pacific
Gas & Electric Co., the utility that
owns and operates the ruptured line.
Regulators vowed to probe what
the utility and the commission could
have done to prevent the disaster.
“We have to look at every facet of
dent and, particularly, not be afraid
to look in the mirror,” commission-
er Nancy Ryan said at the packed
public meeting webcast from San
Francisco.
The expert panel will work inde-
pendently from the National
Transportation Safety Board, the
lead federal agency investigating
the cause of the Sept. 9 blast that
leveled nearly 40 homes.

hanging in its proper place when the
museum closed the night before the inci-
dent, she said.
“From what we understand he was
using it as a photo opportunity,” Brehm
said. “We don’t know for sure how it
came to be where anybody could reach
it.”
Brehm said it was unclear why the
man passed out, and that his feet
remained on the ground.
“It was not a hanging in the sense that
we use that word,” she said.
Brehm said the man remained in sta-
ble condition Thursday at a Wichita hos-
pital. She said he had pre-existing condi-
tions that warranted the move to
Wichita.
The noose had been hanging where it
was since the museum opened 63 years
ago without incident, Brehm said. It has
been taken down, and officials had not
decided another would be put back up.
“We’ll make the appropriate decision
when we figure out what happened,” she
said.
Sheriff’s Lt. Rich Maricelli said. She
went to investigate and found a 200-
pound black bear attacking one of her
two dogs, a 12-year-old collie.
The woman stood at her back door and
screamed to divert the bear’s attention
from the dog. She told police the bear
then charged her.
“The bear growled and was very
aggressive and tried to come inside of
her back door,” Maricelli said. “She was
able to stop the pursuing bear by impro-
vising.”
The bear took a swipe at her with its
paw and tore her jeans. The woman

had harvested earlier from her garden.
She flung the zucchini at the bear from

vegetable bopped the bruin on the top of
its head and the animal fled, Maricelli
said.
State wildlife officials were searching
for the bear on Thursday. Radio station
KGVO in Missoula first reported on the
attack.

Weather cooperates with cleanup effort
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Cleanup of the disaster site in San Bruno
started in earnest yesterday, with crews start-
ing to move major loads of debris from a
neighborhood significantly destroyed by a gas
pipeline explosion and fire two weeks ago.
Winds were light and the weather was coop-
erative, said Dean Peterson, director of envi-
ronmental health for San Mateo County.
The cleanup is expected to take three weeks
before the start of the rainy season in mid-
October, Peterson said.
CalRecycles is leading the cleanup effort,
under a contract with the county, and had
seven crews with about 50 workers in the
neighborhood yesterday sifting through debris
for homeowners’ missing keepsakes and load-
ing dump trucks, Peterson said.
Other agencies, including the California
Environmental Protection Agency, California
Air Resources Board and the Department of
Toxic Substances are monitoring air quality
and helping the county handle the disaster.
Burned-out cars lining the streets of the
Glenview neighborhood have been document-
ed and marked and will be taken to a metal
recycler when the owner gives the OK,
Peterson said.
“San Bruno police did a great job of identi-
fying the vehicles,” Peterson said.
Onlookers lined the neighborhood yester-
day to get a glimpse of the cleanup area and
survey the devastation from the Sept. 9 fire.
San Bruno resident Jim Kelly, who lives on
Oak Avenue about a mile from the blast site,
was taking pictures of the neighborhood yes-
terday.
His close friend who lives at 1521
Claremont Drive was evacuated on the night
of the fire and spent three days away from
home.
“God bless she’s safe,” Kelly said.
Kelly wondered how many of the victims of
the fire would actually return to the neighbor-

hood. The county has identified 35 homes for
recovery and demolition, with 29 of the prop-
erty owners agreeing to have the county lead
the cleanup effort, up from 25 the previous
day, Peterson said.
Another San Bruno resident, Scott Smith,
who lives on Poplar Avenue rode his bike to
the disaster site yesterday to get his first
glimpse of the devastation.
Smith actually volunteered at the Veterans
Memorial Recreation Center where victims
gathered in the days following the explosion.
“The city had a good handle on things con-
sidering the chaos of the night,” Smith said.
The real issue, Smith said, is not hauling
away trash but rather rebuilding lives.
“This is something we are all not experi-

enced in,” Smith said. “It is important that
communication about the incident remains
open.”
Residents whose homes are slated for
cleanup were asked to give crews lists of
items they are searching for and areas where
they might be located. They were also asked
if any pets were buried on the property so
crews can cordon off the area and leave it
untouched.
Peterson said it was the county’s objective
to be as respectful as possible to the victims
of the fire.
Although the cleanup costs will be picked
up by individual homeowner insurance, the
county will also seek reimbursement from
state and federal sources.

Double-digit hikes for some Medicare drug plans

By Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Millions of seniors face
double-digit hikes in their Medicare prescrip-
tion premiums next year unless they shop for
cheaper coverage, a new analysis of govern-
ment data finds.
Premiums will go up an average of 10 percent
among the top 10 drug plans that have signed
up about 70 percent of seniors, according to an
analysis of Medicare data by Avalere Health, a
private research firm.
Marketing for next year’s drug plans gets
under way Oct. 1, and seniors will see some of
the biggest changes since the Medicare pre-
scription benefit became available in 2006.
More than 17 million are enrolled in private
drug plans offered through Medicare.
“People are just going to have to get on top
of this and shop around,” said Dan
Mendelson, president of Avalere, which does
research for industry and government.
“Beneficiaries are really going to have to

plan. They now pay an average of less than $31

they decide to stay in the Preferred plan next
year.
And there’s another wrinkle: Seniors who are
already in the AARP Preferred plan this year
and decide to stay will see their premiums fall
11 percent on average. Instead of an average of
$39 a month, they’ll be paying under $35.
A spokesman for UnitedHealthcare declined
to comment on the analysis.
The study found the biggest percentage
increase in premiums — nearly 43 percent —
will be for the First Health Part D Premier Plus
plan, offered by Coventry Health Care. Average
monthly premiums will rise from under $64 to
nearly $91.
Margaret Nowak, who worked on the study
for Avalere, said the jump is due partly to
Medicare’s restructuring and partly to the plan
offering better coverage in the doughnut hole,
including some brand-name drugs. Only about
one-third of plans will offer coverage in the gap
next year, mainly for generics.

$20 million by eliminating jobs through attri-

Poll: Independents as
upset as Republicans
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — More bad news for
Democrats clinging to control of Congress:
Independent voters are nearly as grumpy as
Republicans about politics this year.
In an Associated Press-GfK Poll this month,
58 percent of independents and 60 percent of
Republicans said politics is making them
angry, compared with 31 percent of Democrats
who said so. About 7 in 10 independents and
Republicans were disgusted, compared with 4
in 10 Democrats, and independents and
Republicans were likelier than Democrats to
be disappointed, depressed and frustrated.
As for positive emotions, independents and
Republicans were half as likely as Democrats
to be inspired and less prone to be hopeful,
excited and proud. The figures are the latest
cautionary note for Democrats, who face a
Nov. 2 Election Day in which the sluggish
economy and President Barack Obama’s tepid
popularity give Republicans a strong chance to
capture control of the House and perhaps the
Senate. They also help explain why independ-
ents, who can be pivotal in many congression-
al races, prefer their GOP candidate over the
Democrat by 52 percent to 36 percent — which
grows to 62 percent to 29 percent among inde-
pendents considered likeliest to vote.

Obama:Time for Mideast peace Congress
By Ben Feller
to send
small business
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
UNITED NATIONS — Grasping for peace,
President Barack Obama on Thursday chal-
lenged a pessimistic world to overcome decades
of shattered promises and help Israelis and
Palestinians close a historic deal within a year.
“This time will be different,” he declared, offer-
ing a now-or-never choice between Mideast sta-
bility and perpetual bloodshed.
To a hushed audience of global leaders,
Obama made Mideast peace the dominant
theme of his yearly address to the U.N. General
Assembly, a sign of the fragile state of the latest
talks and the importance he attaches to their
success. Nearly every other topic of his interna-
tional agenda was shoved to the margins, save
for a vigorous call for support of human rights.
In a message to allies and foes alike, Obama
devoted the final passage of his speech to a need
for people to live freely, and he warned that “we
will call out those who suppress ideas.” While
he spoke of tyranny by the Taliban and in North
Korea, he did not single out allies that the U.S.
has accused of repressing their people, such as
Russia and China.
With fresh Mideast peace talks seemingly on
the brink of collapse, Obama took on skeptics
directly. He challenged Israelis and Palestinians
to make compromises, exhorted supporters on
both sides to show real backing instead of
empty talk and painted a grim picture of what
will happen if the current effort is consigned to
the long list of failed attempts.
Feds object to ’don’t
ask, don’t tell’ injunction
SAN DIEGO — Attorneys for the Obama
administration objected Thursday to a pro-
posed worldwide injunction being considered
by a California federal judge that would halt
the military’s ban on openly gay troops.
Calling the possible move “untenable,”
Department of Justice attorneys filed their
NATION/WORLD
President Barack Obama speaks as former President Bill Clinton reacts during the Clinton
Global Initiative in New York.
“If an agreement is not reached, Palestinians
will never know the pride and dignity that
comes with their own state,” Obama said.
“Israelis will never know the certainty and secu-
rity that comes with sovereign and stable neigh-
bors. ... More blood will be shed. This Holy
Land will remain a symbol of our differences
instead of our common humanity.”
The speech came amid a wider burst of pres-
idential diplomacy in New York. Obama met at
objections in U.S. District Court in Riverside.
They said Judge Virginia Phillips, who
declared the policy unconstitutional earlier
this month, would be overstepping her bounds
if she tried to stop it in its tracks.
Instead, she should limit any injunction to

bill to president
By Andrew Taylor
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — The Democratic-con-
trolled Congress on Thursday sent President
Barack Obama a long-delayed bill to help
struggling small businesses with easier credit
and other incentives to expand and hire new
workers.
The $40 billion-plus bill is the last vestige
of the heralded jobs agenda that Obama and
Democrats promoted early this year. They
ended up delivering only a fraction of what
they promised after emboldened Senate
Republicans blocked most of the agenda with
filibusters.
The Senate passed the measure last week.
The 237-187 House vote Thursday that sent
the bill to the president split along party lines
as Democrats praised the measure for creat-
ing a $30 billion federal fund to help smaller
banks issue loans to small businesses and for
cutting taxes by $12 billion over the coming
decade.
“It combines ... tax relief with increased
access to critical financing so that our
nation’s small businesses can move forward
on new or delayed expansion plans,” said
Rep. Chellie Pingree, D-Maine.“Small-busi-
ness growth means job creation.”
tactic that would bring retaliation against a
GOP president some day.
While some of Obama’s lower court nomi-
nees have been branded judicial activists by
Republicans, both parties have traditionally
agreed they deserve a filibuster-free confirma-
tion vote that needs a simple majority.
A filibuster is a blocking tactic that requires
60 votes in the 100-member Senate before
there can be an up-or-down confirmation vote.

ELECTION
Continued from page 1
Responses were edited for grammar, punctua-
tion and length. Answers are arranged alphabet-
ically by the candidate’s last name.
1. What attributes or skills make you better
suited for the position than your opponents?
Bernardo: The attributes that make me the
best-suited candidate are the following: my
global maritime experience working as a man-
ager for the fifth largest seaport in the country,
the Port of Oakland; my background as a city
planning commissioner; and my decades of
community service.
Brennan: The waterfront is one of San Mateo
County’s greatest physical assts. As harbor com-
missioner, I will take an energetic approach to
waterfront planning. I will put my advertising
and marketing skills to work revitalizing Oyster
Point Marina and Pillar Point Harbor into attrac-
tive people-friendly places.
Klear: I have spent the last 30 years in a high-
tech industry heavily regulated by many govern-
mental agencies. In this environment, I have
managed multi-million dollar projects success-
fully. These skills will pay dividends for the
Harbor District.
Tucker: My experience as the owner of a con-
struction company employing as many as 40
individuals and dealing with budgets and busi-
ness plans along with 12 years of service as
mayor and councilman of Daly City have helped
to give me the attributes and skills for the job.
Add to that 12 years on the Harbor District.
2. What is the most pressing issue facing the
Harbor District?
Bernardo: The most pressing issue facing the
Harbor District today is the district’s $10 million
debt because this debt severely limits our ability
to move forward with much-needed harbor
improvements and key projects that serve to
attract potential new tenants and customers.
Brennan: Reducing the $10 million dollar
Harbor District debt. The current interest rate on
the debt is 4.594 percent annually.
Klear: The most pressing issue for the Harbor
District is to re-engineer the mission of both har-
bors for the 21st century. The harbors were creat-
ed in the last half of the 20th century to answer
the needs of a recreational fleet and, in Pillar
Point, a commercial fishing fleet. Those needs
are changing to a more diverse use as well as an
environmental need. To prosper, the harbors need
to attract more businesses and new technologies.

needs and expanding recreational uses.
Klear: Both harbors need a sound business
platform offered by the Harbor District. The
individual needs can be addressed with a sound
five-year growth plan modeled to fit unique
needs of each harbor.
Tucker: Pillar Point is a working commercial
fishing harbor that has recreational boating with
live aboards and currently requires more atten-
tion. Oyster Point is primarily recreational and
live aboard boating. Both recreational boater
needs are the same. However, when you add a
passenger ferry terminal and possible ferry vil-
lage to Oyster Point, things change and needs
will have to be evaluated as they arise.
5. How will the role of the Harbor District
evolve in the next five to 10 years?
Bernardo: I believe that the Harbor District
will experience a “harbor renaissance” within
the next five to 10 years, especially as Oyster
Point becomes a major public transportation
node with the arrival of the ferries and as Pillar
Point welcomes new tenants with its multi-use
administrative office complex.
Brennan: Pillar Point Harbor will continue to
evolve toward visitor serving, and improvements
will be required to keep pace with recreational
needs. New buildings at both facilities should
incorporate sustainable design and showcase
waterfront views. The Oyster Point ferry service
is scheduled to start in 2011. The Harbor District
must cooperate effectively with other agencies
to transform Oyster Point into a well-designed
transit hub and recreational oasis for South San
Francisco and nearby Brisbane. A new restau-
rant and café and road improvements are needed
to serve commuters and recreational users.
Shuttle service and water taxi service should be
in the development stages now.
Klear: The Harbor District will evolve from a
“nuts and bolts” approach for running the har-
bors into a futuristic one using 21st century
technologies and ideas creating multi-use facili-
ties with environmentally sound community
activity centers, disaster emergency aid centers,
renewable energy sources, university marine
labs studying climate change, environmental
restoration, sustainable fishing and marine biol-
ogy curricula.
Tucker: For the next five years, the district
will be in a planning mode. The new 71-berth
marina and potential development of Perched
Beach along with the new ferry terminal and vil-
lage will keep the district busy. The second five
years is where growth as a district will occur. As
these plans are built out, this district will be rec-
ognized as one of the more successful along the
coast.

Tucker,Brennan for Harbor District Commission
T
he San Mateo County
Harbor District is at a
crossroads. With two har-
bors under its commission’s watch
— Pillar Point north of Half Moon
Bay and Oyster Point in South San
Francisco — there is tremendous
opportunity for change. Pillar Point
is contending with waning business
opportunities for fishermen and
Oyster Point is awaiting a new
ferry terminal which will be sure to
bring in visitors, workers and resi-
dents to the area.
How that change is managed will
be the challenge for the five-mem-
ber commission which has a con-
tested election this November. With
incumbent Ken Lundie declining to
seek re-election, there is sure to be
one new face on the commission.

Claims that California’s vehicle

and physically. A simple transac-

believes there will be space for a

these use numbers that for every

can raise another $80 million.
So why can’t Sacramento sim-

this measure passes, even greater
subsidies will be required in the
future. Other special interest

NEW YORK — A September stock
rally weakened on Thursday as
investors were disappointed by a jump
in unemployment claims and more
signs of trouble for Europe’s economy.
The market got off to a bad start after
applications for unemployment benefits
rose unexpectedly last week. European
stocks also sank after following a lower
reading on business activity in the 16
countries that use the euro and news
that Ireland’s economy shrank 1.2 per-
cent in the second quarter.
The Dow Jones industrial average
closed down 77 points, its second day
of losses. The Standard & Poor’s 500
index, the benchmark most often used
by professional investors, fell below a
key threshold watched by technical ana-
lysts. Gold hit another record as traders
sought safe havens.
The slide raised doubts about whether
a three-week rally that vaulted stocks
higher in September would continue.
Jobless claims rise to 465,000
By Christopher S. Rugaber
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Applications for
unemployment benefits increased last
week for the first time in five weeks.
Initial claims for jobless aid rose by
12,000 to a seasonally adjusted 465,000,
the Labor Department said Thursday.
Many economists had expected a flat
reading or small drop.
The rise suggests that jobs remain
scarce and some companies are still cut-
ting workers amid weak economic
growth. Initial claims have fallen from a
recent spike above a half-million last
month. But they have been stuck above
450,000 for most of this year.

Rite Aid takes bigger
2Q loss on lower sales
NEW YORK — Drugstore operator

as its revenue slipped 2.5 percent and it
refinanced some of its debts.

The Dow is still up 6.5 percent for the
month, but is 4.8 percent below its 2010
high reached on April 26. For the year,
it’s up 2.2 percent.
Traders were disappointed to see
first-time unemployment claims rise
last week, breaking a recent trend of
declines. The Labor Department said
claims jumped by 12,000 and are still at
levels that signal employers are not sig-
nificantly adding new jobs.
“It’s all about jobs right now,” said
Jack Ablin, chief investment officer at
Harris Private Bank. “When claims pick
up, that’s a worrisome sign.”
Unemployment claims had fallen
consistently in recent weeks, reducing
worries that the economy might fall
back into recession. Modest improve-
ments in many economic reports have
driven stocks sharply higher in
September.
The Dow Jones industrial average
rose 13 of the past 16 days, but broke a
five-day winning streak on Wednesday.
“What’s becoming increasing clear is
that this isn’t a normal recovery,” said
Dan Greenhaus, chief economic strate-
gist at Miller Tabak. “There’s little we
can do to create jobs until demand
returns, and demand isn’t returning.”
Separately, the National Association
of Realtors said sales of previously
occupied homes rose 7.6 percent in
August from July, to a seasonally adjust-
ed annual rate of 4.13 million. Still, it
was the second-worst month for sales in
more than a decade. July was the worst
month for sales in 15 years, a factor
unchanged by a slightly upward revi-
sion.

Mercedes sedan ups fuel mileage

By Ann M. Job
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Most people don’t buy big, heavy, luxury

sedans for their gasoline mileage. There are
many other vehicles — lower-priced, too —
that excel at fuel economy.
But government goals for atmospheric car-
bon reduction, plus competition among
automakers, can do funny things to the car
marketplace and help explain why Germany’s
Mercedes-Benz now sells a gasoline-powered,
hybrid version of its flagship S-Class sedan.
The new-for-2010 S400 Hybrid is the first
mass-production car to use a lithium ion bat-
tery to store and supply electric power. The
120-volt battery is more compact and adds
less weight to the car than do nickel metal
hydride batteries and has high energy density
for its size.
The Mercedes S-Class hybrid also has the
lowest starting retail price of any S-Class:
$88,825, including manufacturer’s suggested
retail price and destination charge. This com-
pares with the $92,475 starting retail price for
a base, 2010 Mercedes S-Class with no hybrid
system.
Competitors include the 2010 Lexus
LS600h, which has a starting MSRP, includ-
ing destination charge, of $109,675, and the
2011 BMW 750i ActiveHybrid, which starts
at $103,175.
None of these hybrid luxury sedans is a
high-volume seller. But each helps address
growing government concerns, particularly in
Europe, about global warming. These luxury
hybrids also can help assuage the consciences
of wealthy car buyers who want a big, impres-
sive sedan wearing a badge from a luxury car-
maker, not from Honda.
On the outside, the more than 17-foot-long,
four-door S400 Hybrid looks like other S-
Class models, with traditional Mercedes
styling.
Inside, though, the different information
displays let drivers know this is a different
kind of Mercedes. Even the quiet interior of
the car - created by extensive sound deadening
plus the gasoline engine turning off by itself
when the hybrid system determines the car is
stopped in traffic and could take the opportu-
nity to save fuel - adds a new sense of isola-
tion and security for the well-heeled.
The cocoon-like atmosphere continues with
the heavy feel to the doors when they are
opened and closed and the mass of the more
than 2-ton car that’s carefully managed over
bumps and through twisty road curves and
corners.

Continued from page 11
The S400 Hybrid is the only S-Class
offered with a V-6. The others have higher-
powered V-8 or V-12 engine. But the 275-
horsepower, 3.5-liter, double overhead cam
V-6 producing 258 foot-pounds of torque in
the S400 Hybrid is supplemented by an elec-
tric motor capable of generating 20 horse-
power and 118-foot-pounds of torque for
added “oomph” while the car is moving.
This Mercedes sedan, however, is a “mild”
hybrid, meaning that the car never moves
along on electric power alone as “full” hybrid
vehicles do.
The get up and go isn’t sporty. The car is
too heavy for that. But it’s smooth and
decently forceful. The power system is con-
trolled by a computer that’s constantly calcu-
tric power. The driver just drives the car, and
shifts are handled imperceptibly by the
seven-speed automatic transmission.
The S400 Hybrid mileage rating is 19
miles per gallon in city driving and 25 mpg
on the highway by the U.S. government. I
managed nearly 21 mpg during the test
drive in a mix of city and highway travel.
The U.S. government rating is the best of
the S-Class models. The S550, which is the
next model up, is rated at only 15/23 mpg.
In fact, the S400 Hybrid’s fuel rating ties
with that of the little, two-seat Mercedes
SLK300.
Just as important in Europe, the S400
Hybrid produces 21 percent lower carbon
dioxide emissions. Unfortunately, though, the
S400 Hybrid uses pricey, premium gasoline.
Mercedes, which has focused on strong,
fuel-efficient diesel engines to maximize
mileage but doesn’t offer a diesel-powered S-
ing into the hybrid car segment. Still, its S400
Hybrid beats the Lexus LS600h in govern-
ment fuel ratings, though the Lexus has a V-
8, instead of a V-6, engine.
But the Mercedes brakes had a spongy,
weird feel.
The test car kept passengers well above and
away from road surface bumps and jolts.
The back seat has exemplary room. I could
extend and stretch out my legs, make multiple
adjustments on the outboard seats and recline
the seatbacks to get comfy. Usually, this treat-

All around, the interior was elegantly
trimmed in leather and wood. I just wished
the large knob in the center of the console
between the front seats didn’t have to obscure
the main radio volume control that’s closer to
the front passenger seat. This knob, by the
way, operates the controls and menus seen via
the large display atop the dashboard. It has
you scroll through the commands.
And I found I had to turn on the front-seat
massage function every time I started up the
car. It didn’t stay in the seat memory setting.
The lithium ion battery benefit is obvious
as soon as the trunk is opened. Unlike the
Lexus cars, where the big nickel metal
hydride battery pack scarfs up valuable trunk
space, the lithium ion battery is in the S400
Hybrid engine compartment. So, trunk space
is the same 16.4 cubic feet that’s in other S-
Class models.
The S400 Hybrid comes with many stan-
dard safety features, including some not
found in other cars, such as side air bags for
rear-seat passengers and Mercedes’ Pre-Safe
automatic crash protection system.
Intriguing additional features include a
radar-connected high-beam headlight system

it detects an approaching car’s lights.

Bearcats down Dons
By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The San Mateo High athletic pro-
gram is now 2 for 2 against cross-
town rival Aragon early in the 2010-
11 school year.
Two weeks after the Bearcats’
football team snapped an 11-game
losing steak to the Dons, the San
Mateo girls’ volleyball team beat
Aragon for the first time in four
years, downing the Dons in four
games — 25-23, 7-25, 25-23, 25-
22.
“This is the one team we haven’t
beaten since we’ve been in the Bay
(Division),” said San Mateo coach
Chris Tigno.
The last time the Bearcats beat the
Dons, San Mateo played in the
Ocean Division.
As the scores indicate, however, it
was anything but easy. In the end,
however, San Mateo (1-1 Bay
Division, 5-7 overall) stayed men-

“You have to learn to get over

coach Annette Gennaro-Trimble.
“We just didn’t do that tonight.”
The teams were more amped up
than usual, perhaps because of the
intense rivalry between the two
schools. Neither team appeared par-
ticularly sharp offensively, as a vast
majority of points were scored on
hitting errors. When the squads did

works.

As far as non-league games go, it’s hard to
top today’s 7 p.m. tilt matching up the host
San Mateo High and Terra Nova football
teams.
Both squads are coming off division cham-
pionships last season, the Tigers (1-2) win-
ning the Peninsula Athletic League Bay and
the Bearcats (2-0) capturing the Ocean. That
the two squads are playing for the third time
in a year only adds to the intrigue.
“This is a measuring stick of where we
stand,” San Mateo coach Jeff Scheller said.
“We’re going to find out how good we are, or
Terra Nova might make us look weak — that’s
how good they are.”
Giants 13, Cubs 0
Uribe had only two hits
in his previous 21 at-bats
before his quick six RBIs
as the Giants teed off on
Ryan Dempster (14-11)
and reliever Thomas
Diamond.
The Giants loaded the
bases with none out in the
Juan Uribe first, but scored just once
as Buster Posey hit into a
double play that drove in a run. But San
Francisco broke loose the next inning, high-
lighted by Uribe’s 21st and 22nd home runs.
Game of the Week
Don’t be fooled by the Tigers’ record. Like
all things in life, one needs perspective. Terra
Nova has played some tough competition,
opening the season with a 42-28 loss to
Sacred Heart Cathedral and following that up
with a 27-14 defeat at the hands of Wilcox,
last year’s CCS Division II runner-up.
However, the Tigers rebounded with a superb
performance last week, whipping traditional
section power Pioneer, 49-7.
San Mateo, meanwhile, is coming off a
tough 14-7 victory a week after an emotional
12-point win over city rival Aragon. A win by
the Bearcats would further bolster their confi-
dence moving forward. San Mateo dropped a
Uribe’s two-run shot off Dempster cleared
the left-field wall and landed on Waveland
Avenue for a 3-0 lead. He later hit his fifth
career slam, a drive off Diamond into the left-
field seats. In between Uribe’s homers, the
Giants opened a 6-0 lead on RBI singles from
Freddy Sanchez and Posey.
Posey hit a solo homer in the third, his 16th
of the season. Cody Ross made it 12-0 when
he homered off Marcos Mateo in the sixth.
Pablo Sandoval’s RBI single in eighth com-
pleted the rout.

semifinal, 34-28. This coming after the teams

to slow down the potent Terra Nova offense,
which put up some impressive numbers a

rian and Marisa Wachhorst were
heartbroken when they learned
their 10-year-old son, Riley, was
diagnosed with Asperger’s syndrome — an
autism spectrum disorder — five years ago.
It was only natural. After all, the one
thing parents want most is for their kids to
grow up with a “normal” childhood.
“It’s emotionally
challenging for par-
ents because you feel
for them,” Brian said.
But here’s where
the story turns for the
better. Riley, along
with her 8-year-old
sister, Madeleine —
who has not been
clinically diagnosed
with Asperger’s but
shows all the same
symptoms as her brother, Brian said —
have found their niche, and it happens to be
on the tennis court. Riley and Madeleine
have been playing the sport for a couple of
years, but it was only this summer when
they first started playing U.S.T.A. tourna-
ments.
The two excelled immediately in their
respective age divisions. Riley has played
in seven tournaments this summer, making
the finals of the Split Step 10-and-under
Challenger tournament in South San
Francisco on Aug. 7. Madeleine has played
in four tournaments, winning the De Anza
College 8-and-under singles Challenger
four weeks ago.
The two — Riley is a fifth grader and
Madeleine a third grader at Washington
Elementary School in Burlingame — have
showed tremendous consistency, making
the quarterfinals of every tournament
they’ve entered. More importantly, tennis
has given the siblings a sense of identity,
purpose and confidence.
“Excelling in tennis makes them feel
more accepted and part of the inner circle,”
Brian said. “They’ve really gotten connect-
ed to friends through tennis, and they think
of themselves as athletes now.”
With the encouragement of their grandfa-
ther, Mafeo Roman, Riley and Madeleine
started taking tennis more seriously a little
over a year ago. Roman, who is still spry at
age 85, drove his grandchildren to a num-
ber of tennis facilities, including
Washington Park, San Mateo High, Balboa
Park, Central Park and the College of San
Mateo.
“And he still goes out there and takes
them to the courts everyday,” Brian said.
When Riley and Madeleine aren’t play-
ing at the aforementioned places, they’re
training at Peninsula Tennis Club. The two
can simply walk to the facility because they
live next door to it. The two also play
A.Y.S.O. soccer, and remarkably, tennis has
helped them on the pitch as well.
“They used to be (cherry) pickers, shy
and out of action,” Brian said. “And now
they’re in the action with their teammates,
and I think lot of that has to with tennis
and bringing their shyness out.”
Indeed, sports have empowered Riley
and Madeleine to newfound heights. The
two have teamed up to play some doubles
together for the Menlo Circus Club in
Atherton, beating older teams in the
process. Madeleine said her favorite shot is
her backhand, and Riley soaks up the game

24/7, watching the Tennis Channel whenever
he’s not playing.
“My favorite player is Rafael Nadal,” said
Riley, who likes to wear his tennis outfit to
school on occasion. “When I get older, I want
to be a pro on TV. I like tennis because it’s fun
playing with people, getting good rallies and
winning. Tennis gives me confidence.”
Society can be cruel, harsh and demeaning
at times. People who aren’t considered “nor-
mal” can have a tough time adjusting in soci-
ety. Although Riley and Madeleine are con-
sidered “different,” they’re highly functional.
If you just looked at them, there’s no dis-
cernible difference with the rest of their peers.
It’s only when people talk to them that their
social differences come out.
“They might appear shy or look off to the
side when you talk to them,” Brian said.
“Autistic kids have challenges interacting

The main matchup was between the team’s
two middle blockers — San Mateo’s 6-foot-3
Alexis Okasinski and Aragon’s 6-foot-1
Jessica Navarro. Neither disappointed.
Okasinski finished with a team-high 12 kills,
while Navarro finished with a match-high 19
kills.
The pivotal point of the entire match hinged
on a matchup between the two at the net. In
Game 4, with San Mateo clinging to a 23-22
lead, a ball was sent high above the net. Both

with people, and when kids are like that, peo-
ple think they’re misbehaved. But they’re very
pure, innocent and highly functional.
Academically, they’re doing just fine and
what’s endearing about them is they try so
hard to compensate for their challenges.”
Okasinski and Navarro went up for what was
essentially a jump ball. Both got a hand on it,
but Navarro hit the net with her body, a viola-
tion and point for the Bearcats that put them
up 24-22.
“I’ll take the 6-3 girl,” Tigno said about that
battle.
A whistling, cross-court kill from outside
hitter Karyn Jacobs sealed the match for the
Bearcats.
Game 1 was a battle of attrition, as each
team’s worst enemy was themselves. San
Mateo committed 12 errors in the game, com-
pared to just nine kills. Aragon, however, out-
did the Bearcats in the error department. The
Dons finished with 15 errors and 10 kills.
It was a common theme for the Dons
Sure, Riley and Madeleine might have their
quirks, but don’t we all? The question is,
shouldn’t we embrace the quirks and idiosyn-
crasies in people rather than look down upon
them? Why are we so quick to judge when
none of us are infallible? There’s an inspira-
tional quote by an unknown author that reads:
“Don’t judge those who try and fail, judge
those who fail to try.”
Well, Riley and Madeleine are trying — one
day at a time — resulting in a triumph of the
human spirit.
“It’s inspiring to see them do so well,”
Brian said. “Even though they’re socially
challenged, they’re in the mainstream.”
And that tells you everything you need to
know about Riley and Madeleine Wachhorst,
a dynamic duo indeed.

The CSM baseball team transferred 12

throughout the match.
“We had too many mental and service
errors,” Gennaro-Trimble said. “Too many to
fight through.”
In Game 2, however, Aragon showed just
how explosive it can be. Behind the serving
and setting of Stephanie Miller, the Dons
jumped out to a commanding 12-1 lead and
never looked back. After Miller put the Dons
up 2-1 to earn the serve, she served 10 straight
points for Aragon — including three aces.
This time, it was all Aragon’s offense as the
Bearcats committed only two errors during
the run.
In Game 3, it appeared San Mateo would
return the favor with an easy victory. A

When Notre Dame de Namur senior Ryan
Sheffer won the Sonoma State Invitational
golf tournament Monday, he made some his-
tory in the process. By capturing the grueling,
two-day, three-round, 54-hole event, Sheffer
became the first golfer in school history to
win an individual championship.
The event started Sunday at Santa Rosa
Golf and Country Club, with Sheffer shooting
an even-par 72. He came back the next day
and shot a 70 before firing off another solid 72
for a 214 total. That put Sheffer in a playoff,
which he won on the first hole.

Bearcats responded by winning four points in
a row and 12 of the next 16 points to take a
commanding 22-13 advantage.
Aragon, however, had one last charge in it.
Following a San Mateo net violation, Ariel
Mangum served three straight aces to kick-
start a 10-2 run, and suddenly the Dons were
down a point, 24-23.
A kill from Okasinski, however, clinched
the game for the Bearcats.
“I think the girls really wanted it,” Tigno
said. “Even when they were behind, I could
see the fire. If you have the fire, you’re going
to go for balls. We always tell the girls it’s the
small things that make the difference in the
match.”

Best Bets
Friday
Homestead (2-0) at Burlingame (1-1),7
The Mustangs had a bye last week. The
Panthers beat Gunn-Palo Alto 21-3.
Homestead is one of two unbeaten teams in
the Santa Clara Valley Athletic League’s De
Anza Division — which features the likes of
Los Gatos and Palo Alto. The Mustangs have
already beaten two Peninsula Athletic League
squads — Half Moon Bay and King’s
Academy — by a combined score of 59-28.
Burlingame rebounded from a disappoint-
ing opening-season loss to Palo Alto by beat-
ing Palo Alto’s other public high school,
Gunn, last week. The Panthers, however, were
not pleased with their execution. They may
have suffered a big blow when RB Ilan Lesov
had to sit out the fourth quarter with a shoul-
der injury.
El Camino (2-0) at Jefferson (2-1),7 p.m.
The Rest
Friday
Mt.Eden (0-2) at Capuchino (0-1),3 p.m.
The Monarchs were routed by Campolindo
35-14 last week. The Mustangs fell to
Christopher-Gilroy in a tough loss, 40-36.
Mt. Eden has been outscored roughly 3-to-
1 this season and it’s been a long time since
the Monarchs have been relevant in the
Hayward Area Athletic League. Granted, they
have a strong coaching staff, which includes
former longtime Bishop O’Dowd head man
Paul Perenon. It will take a while for the
coaching to turn the program around, howev-
er.
Capuchino put on a strong, emotional per-
formance in its season opener — a week after
its game against South City was postponed
because of the gas-line tragedy in the city. The
Mustangs acquitted themselves well last
week. Mustangs QB John Bacchi had a huge
game, passing for over 250 yards and two TDs
while rushing for three more.

The Colts beat up on Lincoln-SF last week,
45-14. The Indians picked up a huge win by
shutting out Menlo-Atherton 17-0.
El Camino opened the season with a pair of

The Colts will take a step up in competition
this week against Jefferson. RB Nathan Huey
had a huge game, rushing for 151 yards and
two TDs on 18 carries. As a team, the Colts
had five different players score.
At the beginning of the season, Jefferson
coach Ako Poti said he wanted to be a defen-
sive team. So far, so good. In three games, the
Indians are allowing an average of 12.6 points
per game. Last week against M-A, the Indians
gave up a total of 125 yards of offense.
Hillsdale (3-0) at Gunn (1-1),7:30 p.m.
The Knights whacked San Jose, 52-7. The
Titans fell to Burlingame, 21-3.
After three gimme games, this one should
be a real test for Hillsdale. That being said, the
Knights have done what they should against
inferior squads — rout them. In three games,
win over Overfelt last week. The Vikings were
pounded by Mountain View, 48-0.
In two games this season, Gunderson has
scored a total of seven points and yet is 1-1 on
the season. Defense has carried the Grizzlies
thus far this season, allowing a total of 18
points in two games.
Defense has been Mills’ biggest problem so
far this year. In three games, the Vikings are
allowing an average of 48.6 points per game.
QB Brandon Berkovatz has been one of the
few bright spots for Mills and he accounted
for 120 (97 yards passing, 23 yards rushing)
of the Vikings’ 161 yards of total offense.
Balboa-SF (0-3) at Sequoia (2-0-1),7 p.m.
The Buccaneers were punished 37-6 by
Analy-Sebastapol last week. The Cherokees
rallied for a 28-all tie against Pinole Valley.
In three games, Balboa has been outscored
106-52. The Buccaneers are one of five win-
less teams in the eight-team Triple-A league
in San Francisco.
Last week’s tie was a huge gut-check for
Sequoia, as the Cherokees rallied from a 14-0
deficit. The Cherokees should have too many
weapons to be challenged by Balboa. James
Beekley is one of the top QBs in the PAL.
not as elusive as Cox, but he’s just as effective
running with the ball. I told our guys this guy
is not going to run out of bounds — he’s look-
ing to run you over.”
Forbes wasn’t the only offensive standout,
as receiver Nick Manessis had seven recep-
tions for 129 yards, and fellow wideout Jake
Smith finishing with seven catches for 88
yards. San Mateo will try to slow down Terra
Nova’s high-octane attack by playing keep-
away.
Fortunately for the Bearcats, they’re a
power running team capable of going on long,
Hillsdale is averaging over 35 points. Last
week, the Knights racked up over 500 yards of
offense. Talk about a drop off in production.
After opening the season with a 39-0 pasting
of Yerba Buena, Gunn was held to just three
points and 170 yards of offense against
Burlingame.
Saturday
South City (2-0) at
Mountain View (2-0),1 p.m.
The Warriors beat Monta Vista-Cupertino,
25-7 last week. The Spartans crushed Mills,
48-0. South City’s offense was about as bal-
anced as it could get last week — two scores
came via the air, while the other three came on
the ground. Greg Bildhauer had one of each.
Mountain View has allowed only six points
in two games, though the Spartans’ blow-out
win over Mills skews its offensive numbers.
They opened the season with a 20-6 win over
Soquel.
Aragon (1-1) at Carlmont (1-2),2 p.m.
Yerba Buena (0-2) at
King’s Academy (2-1),7 p.m.
The Aztec Warriors had a bye last week.
The Knights handled Scotts Valley, 28-19.
Yerba Buena has yet to score a point this
season. Two weeks ago, Hillsdale dominated
the Aztec Warriors to the tune of 41-0. They
opened the season with a 39-0 loss to Gunn.
Counting Yerba Buena, King’s Academy’s
four opponents this season have a combined
record of 3-7. Two weeks ago, Homestead
limited Knights’ RB Amir Carlisle to just 35
yards. He rebounded quite nicely last week,
finishing with 242 yards and a TD.
Alisal (0-3) at Woodside (0-2),7:30 p.m.
The Trojans were blasted by Chowchilla 51-
12 last week. The Wildcats were shut out 27-
0 by Los Altos. Over its last two games,
Alisal has been outscored 96-18. After a one-
win season last year, Woodside has continued
to struggle early this season. The Wildcats
managed only 101 yards of offense last week.
Saturday

Scotts Valley (0-3),2 p.m.
time-consuming drives.
“We’re going to keep the ball as long as
possible,” Scheller said. “That’s really the
only way to contain them.”
If San Mateo is to have success running the
ball, you can bet George Naufahu will be at
the forefront.
The burly 6-1, 217-pound senior had 105
yards on 25 carries last week, consistently
gaining yards after first contact. As solid as
the Bearcats’ run game has been, they’ve
shown they can get things accomplished
through the air as well.
Friday • Sept. 24, 2010 17
The Dons topped Lincoln-SJ 20-10 last
week. The Scots dropped a tough 14-7 deci-
sion to San Mateo.
Aragon accumulated 364 yards of offense
last week, including 250 yards rushing. The
Dons had two runners eclipse the 100-yard
mark — Aaron Eder (11-104) and Sam
Pacholuk (25-101). Carlmont is proving it
won’t be a pushover this year, especially on
defense. In two games, the Scots have allowed
just under 12 points per game.
CSM (2-0) vs.West Valley (0-2)
at Saratoga High,6:30 p.m.
The Bulldogs smoked Reedley 51-10 last
week. The Vikings fell to Yuba City College,
28-7.
This is the quintessential trap game for
CSM. In the early 2000s, West Valley was a
thorn in the side of the Bulldogs. Granted,
things have changed mightily since then, but
guarantee the Bulldogs will not overlook West
Valley. In two games, the Vikings have been
out-scored 93-20.
The Gators buried Valley Christian-Dublin
49-21 last week. The Falcons were grounded
by The King’s Academy, 28-19.
SHP has hardly been tested this season,
outscoring its three opponents 129-54. The
Gators have been nearly unstoppable offen-
sively, averaging over 300 yards rushing per
game. Colin Terndrup has been the driving
force on the ground, averaging over nine yards
a carry.
St. Elizabeth-Oakland (0-2) vs. Menlo
School (2-1) at Woodside High,7 p.m.
The Mustangs are coming off a 45-15 beat-
ing at the hands of Albany. The Knights
destroyed Justin Siena-Napa, 49-7.
It’s been a rough start to the season for St.
Elizabeth, which allowed 48 points in its
opener before giving up 45 last week.
After stumbling to a 13-9 loss to Hillsdale
to open the season, Menlo appears to have
righted the ship, having won its last two
games in convincing fashion— beating
defending CCS Division IV champ Carmel
34-29 two weeks ago before smoking Justin
Siena last week. QB Robert Wickers had a
monster game last week, throwing for over
260 yards and five TDs.
Chris Zografos completed 10-of-15 passes
for 109 yards, and his 1-yard TD run account-
ed for the game-winning score with a couple
of minutes left in the fourth quarter. Scheller
said his defense came up big, with linemen
Ophir Gam and Gary Vimahi penetrating the
Carlmont backfield all game, and linebackers
Alex Strathearn and Edgar Bastidas making
plays all over the field.
Through two games, San Mateo’s defense
has made tremendous strides from last season,
but facing Terra Nova represents the sternest
test to date.

Chopra writes
dramatic novel
on Muhammad
By Rasha Madkour
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Countless books have been written about the

life of Muhammad, Islam’s prophet. Spirituality
guru Deepak Chopra has added another to the
mix: A novel generally rooted in facts but liber-
ally embellished.
In “Muhammad: A Story of the Last
Prophet,” Chopra employs a wide cast of narra-
tors to tell the story of how an orphan boy raised
in a pagan society grew up to lead a nation of
believers in the oneness of God. All the usual
highlights are here: Muhammad’s infancy and
toddlerhood living with his Bedouin wet nurse
in the fresh air of the desert; his brief time with
his mother in
the city before
her death when
he was only 6
(his father died
before he was
born); his pre-
cociousness as
a child living
with relatives;
and his mar-
riage to a
wealthy widow
with whom he
had four
daughters as
well as two
sons who died
in infancy.
Then, at 40, came the turning point in
Muhammad’s life, when the angel Gabriel
appeared before him as he was meditating in a
cave. “The man who wished for God to notice
him was terrified once he was noticed,” Chopra
writes. He imagines Muhammad thinking: “I
didn’t ask for this. Let me go. I am nothing, a
man among men.”
It is this ordinary nature of Muhammad that
surprised Chopra when he began writing the
book, which follows “Buddha” and “Jesus” in
his series on founders of world religions. What
links the three men is their pursuit of higher
consciousness, Chopra writes in his introduc-
tion.

Rusty Rueff’s love of the theater began
at the age of seven, when his father
took him to see "Dracula" at Actors
Theatre of Louisville. At 10 years old
he played Winthrop in the "Music

sophomore year at Hanover College.
Those early experiences gave Rueff an
enduring appreciation for the art form
and the immense effort it takes to bring
a production to the stage. Rueff says,
“An audience only gets to see the last 2
percent. There’s 98 percent that hap-
pens before the show ever hits the
stage. To me, the most fascinating and
exciting part is that 98 percent.”

Sesame Street pulls Perry from show
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Katy Perry’s cleavage
is fine for Russell Brand — not so for
Elmo and Sesame Street.
The children’s show says it won’t air a
taped segment featuring the “California
Gurls” singer and Elmo. The pop star —
who is known for her risque outfits —
wore a gold bustier top as she sang a ver-
sion of her hit “Hot N Cold.” But some felt
it was too revealing for the kid set.
Sesame Street said in a statement
Thursday that in light of the “feedback
we’ve received” after the bit was aired on
YouTube, they won’t include it on the
show. While the show said it was still
available on YouTube, it had been removed
by the official Sesame Street YouTube
channel. Other versions on YouTube have
generated thousands of hits.
A rep for Perry said Thursday that Perry
enjoyed her time with Sesame Street and
Elmo, and pointed out that the clip is still
online on her website. Katy Perry was pulled from Sesame Street but the video can be seen on YouTube.

Time to introduce yourself to tomatillos

By Jim Romanoff
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
You’ve probably looked right at them
dozens of times, those greenish, papery,
lantern-like things in the bin next to the toma-
toes at the market. And then you probably
moved on.
They’re called tomatillos and they are worth
stopping for.
Tomatillos can be used raw or cooked much
as you would a tomato. The berry inside the
husk can range from marble- to plum-size and
has solid, seedy flesh. Raw, they taste a bit
like green apple with hints of lemon or lime,
but cooking mellows the flavor.
Nutritionally speaking, tomatillos have
roughly the same amount of vitamin C as a
red tomato and a bit more potassium.
When selecting tomatillos choose smooth,
green fruits (when they start to turn yellow
they lose some of their tanginess), free of
bruises and blemishes. The husks should be
clean and dry.
To prepare tomatillos you will need to peel
away the husk and wash away the sticky resin
on the skin.
For a touch of tartness, consider adding
chopped tomatillos to your favorite greens. Or
to make a salad where they’re more promi-
nently featured, combine wedges of tomatil-
los and tomatoes with slivered red onion, then
toss in a dressing made with extra-virgin olive
oil and lime juice spiked with chopped
cilantro and red pepper flakes.
This mellow salsa verde is made by puree-
ing char-grilled tomatillos, sweet onion and
poblano chili peppers. The recipe can be made
amount of the salsa. Serve with black beans
and additional warm corn tortillas for scoop-
ing.

Servings: 4 (1/2 cup each)
1 pound tomatillos, husks removed, rinsed
1 medium sweet onion, cut into 1/2-inch-
thick slices
1 small poblano chili pepper
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 to 2 teaspoons honey, to taste
1/8 teaspoon salt, or to taste
Heat a gas grill to high or light a charcoal
fire.
Grill the tomatillos, onion slices and
poblano, turning occasionally, until soft and
charred, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove the veg-
etables as they are ready. Set aside to cool for
about 15 minutes.
Peel, seed and stem the poblano. Coarsely
chop the onion.
In the bowl of a food processor, combine
the tomatillos, onion, poblano, vinegar, lime
juice, honey and salt. Pulse until the mixture
is well blended but still a bit chunky. Serve

almost operatic way — and knowingly, joy-
fully so. For a movie about a depressing topic
that we’re all-too familiar with, “Money
Never Sleeps” is surprisingly entertaining.
The dialogue from Allan Loeb and Stephen
Schiff is biting and propulsive, and the hugely
esteemed ensemble cast is a kick. Besides
Douglas, who’s better than ever even as a
an ambitious young trader — he feels like a
grown-up, finally — and the two stars have a
couple of electric exchanges.
But there are plenty of showy supporting
roles, as well. A beefed-up, suspendered
Frank Langella provides both gravitas and
humor as founder of the powerful Keller
Zabel Investments; he also serves as a father
figure to LaBeouf’s Jacob Moore. Susan
Sarandon chews up the scenery as Jacob’s
tacky, talkative mother, a former nurse who’s
been enjoying the good life as a high-end
Long Island real estate agent. And Josh Brolin
is a formidable villain as
Bretton James, a billionaire
partner at a rival investment
bank who ruins Keller Zabel
with rumors of debt, then
arranges a brutal takeover. Just
listening to him describe why
is intimidating.
Most of the time, simply through the sheer
enormity and force of this juggernaut, it all
works. “Money Never Sleeps” looks fantastic
— the work of Oscar-nominated cinematogra-
pher Rodrigo Prieto (“Brokeback Mountain,”
“Broken Embraces”) — with its shimmering
aerial shots of Manhattan. The place rises
from the Hudson River like Oz, an idealized,
bustling city of endless possibility (although
Stone didn’t need to add split screens and
tickers running through skyscrapers to magni-
fy the sense of movement). Every sleek high-
rise office and modern loft offers dazzling
views; every character is expensively dressed.
As if there weren’t enough ego and testos-
terone bursting through, Jacob and Bretton
even race Ducati motorcycles through the fall
foliage to escape the reality of the stock mar-
ket plummeting.
Yes, it’s over-the-top like that. But fun —
Sleeps” goes soft and loses its way. The
romantic subplot between Jacob and Gekko’s
estranged daughter Winnie, of all people, feels
needless, even though it does allow for the
radiant presence of Carey Mulligan. It also
raises some questions: As Gekko himself so
astutely wonders, if Winnie hates her father so
much, why would she get involved with a man
who does the exact same thing, which she
found so reprehensible? Jacob’s dream of
funding an alternative-energy company is
intended to redeem him somewhat, but really,
he gets that same gleam in his eyes when it
comes to the prospect of getting rich.
And what happens in the last couple of
scenes especially stands as a stark and almost
laughable contrast to where these characters
began and what they’re supposedly made of.
Then again, as the song goes, money changes
everything.

Friday, Sept. 24, 2010
Some new developments are indicated involving your social
life in the year ahead. Either several new people you’ll meet
or some folks you now think of as merely being casual
acquaintances could turn into your closest friends.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) - Let that wonderful spirit of coop-
eration and fairness you naturally possess be pronounced in
all that you do, and you’ll easily find harmony in your deal-
ings.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) - You’re in an especially good
cycle for beginning something that normally might be difficult,
such as going on a diet or starting an exercise program. Don’t
waste this point in time.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) - Contact that impressive
person you recently met whom you would like to know bet-
ter, and suggest doing something interesting together. That
person is equally eager to cozy up to you, too.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) - Don’t start anything that
you might have difficulty in completing, because if you can
make this a day of achievement, you should be able to clear
yourself of having any near-misses.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) - If you’re able to make a
choice between assignments that are of a mental or physical
nature, choose the former. Your cranial attributes are likely to
be working a bit better than your muscles.
in activities that don’t cost you anything, such as visiting fam-
ily or a good friend.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) - You’ll never fit comfortably in
a subservient role, so don’t let a bossy type try to maneuver
you into one. Unless you call your own shots, you’ll end up
being miserable.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) - In order to protect yourself
from having to take a position on something you know little
about, keep a low profile and don’t do anything to call atten-
tion to yourself until you’ve got the deets.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) - Because your attitude tends to
be influenced by your colleagues, mingle only with friends
who have a positive outlook on life. Avoid the bigmouths and
bores.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) - It might be far nicer to coast,
but it isn’t likely to get you anywhere. Challenge yourself a
bit and put forth some effort to accomplish something you’ve
been putting off.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) - A healthy curiosity can prove to be
a big asset, so don’t hesitate to ask some questions about
anything that might interest you. You could learn something
that’ll be of great value.
Previous
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) - An associate might have some-
thing of great interest to offer that could be of benefit to Sudoku

Number of fat people in U.S.to grow,report says

By Greg Keller
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PARIS — Citizens of the world’s richest
countries are getting fatter and fatter and the
United States is leading the charge, an organ-
ization of leading economies said Thursday
in its first ever obesity forecast.
Three out of four Americans will be over-
weight or obese by 2020, and disease rates
and health care spending will balloon, unless
governments, individuals and industry coop-
erate on a comprehensive strategy to combat
the epidemic, the study by the Organization
for Economic Cooperation and Development
said.
The Paris-based organization, which brings
together 33 of the world’s leading economies,
is better known for forecasting deficit and
employment levels than for measuring waist-
lines. But the economic cost of excess weight
— in health care, and in lives cut short and
resources wasted — is a growing concern for
many governments.
Franco Sassi, the OECD senior health
economist who authored the report, blamed
the usual suspects for the increase.
“Food is much cheaper than in the past, in
particular food that is not particularly
healthy, and people are changing their
lifestyles, they have less time to prepare
meals and are eating out more in restaurants,”
said Sassi, a former London School of
Economics lecturer who worked on the report
for three years.
That plus the fact that people are much less
physically active than in the past means that
the ranks of the overweight have swelled to
nearly 70 percent in the U.S. this year from
well under 50 percent in 1980, according to
the OECD.
In 10 years, a full 75 percent of Americans
will be overweight, making it “the fattest
country in the OECD,” the report said.
The projection seems in line with those
made by some American researchers. About
86 percent of U.S. adults would be over-
weight or obese by 2030 if current trends
continue, according to a study led by a Johns
Hopkins University researcher and published
in 2008 in the journal Obesity.
However, the most recent findings by U.S.
government scientists indicate the obesity
epidemic may be leveling off, with roughly
two-thirds of adults overweight and holding The lifespan of an obese person is up to 8-10 years shorter than that of a normal-weight

Taylor and Bennett were also arrested but
