The prominent former child psychiatrist
who escaped retrial on charges he molest-
ed young male patients after prosecutors
abandoned efforts to prove he is competent
was formally committed yesterday to a
state mental hospital where the 79-year-old
will be treated for Alzheimers disease-
related dementia.
Judge Jack Grandsaert
placed William Hamilton
Ayres, of San Mateo, at
Napa State Hospital on
the recommendation of
the Golden Gate Regional
Centers evaluation. State
law requires he remained
in the locked facility for a
minimum of six months but he could be trans-
ferred to a different facility in the future.
Defense attorney Jonathan McDougall did
not return an inquiry to whether such an effort
to nd such a place would be made.
Prosecutors had pushed for a Napa place-
ment as a condition of their not pursuing a
second jury trial on Ayres competency but
Grandsaert was not bound by the request or
the placement recommendation.
Prosecutors also asked Wednesday morning
that Ayres be immediately taken into custody
but Grandsaert allowed Ayres 30 days to sur-
render because of his myriad medical issues,
said Chief Deputy District Attorney Karen
Guidotti.
Ayres rst competency trial hung 8-4 in
April and he was scheduled for another in
August until prosecutor Melissa McKowan
Ayres committed tohospital

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON A decade
later, what happened on Sept. 11 still
resonates for much of the country.
Even more Americans now say the
horror of that day changed their
lives.
A new poll by the Associated
Press-NORC Center for Public
Affairs Research in Chicago nds
that more Americans today say Sept.
11 had an impact on their lives than
said so ve years ago 57 percent
compared with 50 percent in 2006.
As the nation prepares to mark the
10th anniversary of that haunting
day, the chilling events that unfolded
in New York, Washington and

The terrorist attacks of Sept. 11,
2001 have transformed the lives of
Americans in many ways over the
past 10 years with the impacts seen
most notably per-
haps at the nations
airports.
Before the pas-
senger jetliners
collided into the
World Trade Center buildings and
Pentagon there was no such thing as
the Department of Homeland
Security or Transportation Security
Administration.
The TSA was formed almost
immediately after the attacks to take
security at airports out of the hands
of dozens of private contractors and
put it into the hands of a single pub-
lic agency.
Formed in 2002, more than a year
after Sept. 11, Homeland Security is
now the third largest Cabinet depart-
ment in the country behind Defense
and Veterans Affairs with a budget
approaching $100 billion annually
with more than 200,000 employees.

Police: Father left baby
in car when he was in bar
FAIRFAX A Marin County man
has been arrested on suspicion of child
cruelty for allegedly leaving his baby
inside his car while he was in a bar.
The Marin Independent Journal
reports that 47-year-old Sergei Andrey
Tchelakov was arrested Monday and
booked into Marin County Jail. Bail was
set at $50,000.
Fairfax police Chief Christopher
Morin says witnesses reported the 1-
year-old boy was strapped into a car seat
with the windows up around 1:40 p.m.
near a Fairfax brewery. It was almost 80
degrees outside.
The newspaper says after witnesses
confronted the father, he went to the car,
rolled the windows down partially and
went back inside. Thats when witnesses
contacted police.
Morin says the baby did not require
hospitalization and was picked up by his
mother.
Crikey! Huge crocodile
captured in Philippines
MANILA, Philippines What a
croc!
Its mighty snout wrapped tightly with
ropes, a one-ton, 20-foot saltwater croc-
odile was captured and put on display in
a town in the southern Philippines
one of the biggest such reptiles to be
caught in recent years.
But shed no crocodile tears for this
colossal captive.
Lolong, as it has been nicknamed, is
about to become the star attraction of an
ecotourism park unless it is upstaged
by an even larger reptile that may be still
be on the loose.
Residents of Bunawan township cele-
brated when they captured the croc, with
about 100 people pulling the feared
beast from a creek by rope, then hoisting
it by crane onto a truck. While the beast
was safely tied up, they examined its
teeth, claws and stubby legs with fasci-
nation.
Their party may have been premature,
however.
After the 20-foot (6.1-meter) reptile
was caught over the weekend, authori-
ties said Tuesday an even bigger croco-
dile may still be lurking in creeks of the
remote region in Agusan del Sur
province.
The scaly skinned Lolong which
tips the scales at 2,370 pounds (1,075
kilograms) is estimated to be at least
50 years old. Wildlife ofcials were try-
ing to conrm whether it was the largest
such catch in the world, said Theresa
Mundita Lim of the governments
Protected Areas and Wildlife Bureau.
It was captured alive after a three-
week hunt, easing some fears among the
locals. A child was killed two years ago
in the township by a crocodile, and a
croc is suspected of killing a sherman
who has been missing since July. Last
month, residents saw a crocodile killing
a water buffalo.
The party thrown after Lolongs cap-
ture was like a feast, so many villagers
turned up, said Mayor Edwin Cox
Elorde.
Wildlife ofcial Ronnie Sumiller, who
has hunted nuisance crocodiles for 20
years and led the team that captured
Lolong, said another search was under
way for the possibly larger croc that he
and residents have seen in the towns
marshy outskirts.
There is a bigger one, and it could be
the one creating problems, Sumiller
told the Associated Press by telephone
from Bunawan, about 515 miles (830
kilometers) southeast of Manila.
The villagers were saying 10 percent
of their fear was gone because of the
rst capture, Sumiller said. But there
is still the other 90 percent to take care
of.
Backed by five village hunters he
trained, Sumiller has set 20 steel cable
traps with an animal carcass as bait in
nearby vast marshland and along the
creek where Lolong was caught.
Sumiller said he found no human
remains when he induced the captured
crocodile to vomit.
Residents of the farming town of
about 37,000 people have been told to
avoid venturing into marshy areas alone
at night, Elorde said.
Guinness World Records lists a salt-
water crocodile caught in Australia as
the largest crocodile in captivity, meas-
uring 17 feet 11.75 inches (5.48 meters).
Saltwater crocodiles can live for more
than 100 years and grow to 23 feet (7
meters).

California woman found dead by police dur-

Capitola and Half Moon Bay, Maui ofcials
said Wednesday.
Police discovered 35-year-old Celestial
Cassmans body Thursday after responding to
a report of a domestic dispute. But before
nding her body, ofcers confronted 38-year-
old Gerald Galaway, who took off running and
jumped off a cliff into the ocean, Maui prose-
cutor John D. Kim said.
As police searched for him, ofcers found
the woman dead in a rocky
area below the roadway
near Nakalele Point, Maui
police Lt. Wayne Ibarra
said. Police were waiting
for Cassmans family to

LOCAL/STATE/NATION
STATE
GOVERNMENT
On Wednesday,
Gov. Jerry Brown
vetoed Senate Bill
28, which would have
s t r e n g t h e n e d
Californias hands-
free and no-texting laws for motorists. The
measures author, state Sen. Joe Simitian, D-
Palo Alto, called the veto a lost opportunity
to save more lives.
Senate Bill 28 proposed increasing nes for
motorists who use cellphones without a
hands-free device or who text while driving.
A subsequent violation of either law would
have added a point on motorists driving
records, serving as an added deterrent.
Brown vetoed two language rights bills
authored by state Sen. Leland Yee, D-San
Francisco/San Mateo.
Senate Bill 111 was landmark legislation
that would have prohibited businesses from
denying service to a patron because of the
language he or she speaks. Senate Bill 88
would have helped protect the integrity of
ballots, specically addressing the use of
fraudulent Asian character-based names such
as Chinese, Korean and Japanese translations
used during elections.
Brown also vetoed legislation that would
have required minors to wear helmets while
skiing and snowboarding.
Former governor Arnold Schwarzenegger
signed an identical measure Yees Senate
Bill 880 last year but vetoed a companion
bill that called for ski resorts to develop and
publish safety plans. Enactment of Senate
Bill 880 was contingent on the signing of
Assembly Bill 1652 authored by then-
Assemblyman and now Insurance
Commissioner Dave Jones and thus the
helmet mandate will not go into effect.
Volunteers desiring to partake in a variety
of environmental projects may continue to do
so now that a public works bill authored by
Assemblyman Rich Gordon, D-Menlo
Park, was signed into law by Brown.
Assembly Bill 587, which is jointly authored
by Assemblyman Warren Furutani, D-
Long Beach, exempts unpaid volunteers
from prevailing wage requirement so they can
participate in public works projects, such as
trail building, stream restoration, beach clean-
up and wetlands restoration. With the cur-
rent exemption set to expire at the end of this
year, this bill extends the law for an addition-
al ve years.
A bill imposing conflict of interest
requirements and limitations on the
California High-Speed Rail Authority was
passed unanimously through both the
Assembly and Senate, and now sits on
Browns desk. Authored by Assemblyman
Brian Jones, R-Santee and co-authored by
Gordon, Assembly Bill 952 would prohibit a
member, employee or consultant of the
authority from receiving gifts of any kind.
Brown will have until Oct. 9 to either sign
or veto the bill.

Alleged stabber to trial
for attempted murder
A man accused of stabbing a friend in the
back because he thought the acquaintance had
slept with his wife and
later hiding from South
San Francisco police
under a pile of towels will
stand trial on attempted
murder and weapons
charges.
Jairo Ulises Ramos, 40,
has pleaded not guilty but
was held to answer after a
preliminary hearing. He
returns to court Sept. 21 to re-afrm the plea
in Superior Court and set a trial date.
According to prosecutors, Ramos, of San
Francisco, thought his wife was involved with
the South San Francisco man and confronted
him while the couple was at his apartment.
Ramos allegedly threw a milk container on the
kitchen oor while announcing his suspicions
and grabbed a knife. After swinging several
times, which the victim said he deected,
Ramos reportedly struck the man with the
knife once in the back and multiple times on
the hand. The victim pushed Ramos away and
ed the apartment to call authorities. Police
reported nding Ramos at the apartment, hid-
ing in the bathtub under some towels.
Ramos remains in custody without bail.
Carjacking case heads to trial
The accused carjacker who reportedly ran
out of gas not that far from where authorities
say he took a vehicle from
a woman awaiting a pizza

ruled.
Stephan Thomas Allen,
20, was held to answer
just weeks after two-court
appointed doctors found
him mentally fit for trial.
He will enter a Superior
Court plea and set a trial
date Sept. 27.
Police nabbed Allen May 18 on the side of
Highway 101 near Broadway in Burlingame
after an officer who thought he was helping a
stranded motorist connected him to the car-
jacking outside Totos Pizzeria and
Restaurant in Belmont.
The woman told police a man entered her
car through an unlocked passenger door and
ordered her to drive. He allegedly said
someone is out to get me, someone is going
to kill me. The woman reportedly told the
man he could take the car as long as she
could remove her 5-year-old daughter first
and he fled while she returned to the pizzeria
to call police.
Hours later, a California Highway Patrol
officer spotted the vehicle.
He remains in custody in lieu of $100,000
bail.

HAYWARD A former high school friend
of a missing Northern California nursing stu-
dent has been arrested on suspicion of murder,
more than three months after the victim van-
ished from a San Francisco-area hospital
where she was working.
Hayward police arrested Giselle Diwag
Esteban in the death of 26-year-old Michelle
Le, who told colleagues she was going to her
car during her shift in late May and never
returned.
Lt. Roger Keener said Wednesday that
police believe an assault occurred at the hos-
pitals parking garage as video surveillance
footage shows Esteban at the scene before and
after Les disappearance. Police said they
found traces of Les blood inside her SUV, as
well as on one of Estebans shoes during a
search warrant of Estebans residence.
Les body has not been found, but Kenner
said he hoped Esteban would help police make
a discovery.
The reality is, we dont have Michelle.
Thats a piece we are not going to close out on
until we nd her, until her location is known,
said Keener at a news con-
ference announcing the
arrest. The facts are some
of those questions, such as
how Michelle met her
demise, may not be
answered until Michelle is
located.
Esteban was named as a
person of interest in June
as investigators questioned
and searched her Union
City apartment. She and
Le had been friends at a
San Diego high school.
Esteban told KGO-TV at
the time that she hated Le
because she was friends
with the father of
Estebans young daughter.
But Esteban said she had
nothing to do with Les
disappearance.
Court records show that Estebans ex-
boyfriend, who had custody of their daughter,
was granted a restraining order against her
three days before Les May 27 disappearance,
according to KGO.
Police arrest friend in death of student

WASHINGTON A pipeline bill offered
by House Republicans on Wednesday would
block some safety reforms and ignores other
recent safety recommendations made by acci-
dent investigators in response to a deadly nat-
ural gas explosion last year near San
Francisco.
The bill would prohibit federal regulators
from requiring gas and oil pipeline operators
to inspect the structural integrity of major
transmission lines in lightly populated areas.
It would also bar regulators from setting stan-
dards for industry on detecting leaks. Instead,
it tells regulators to study both issues and
come back with ndings in a year or two.
After a series of gas and oil pipeline acci-
dents over the past year, the Transportation
Department recently said it was considering
whether to require operators to examine the
integrity of major pipelines everywhere, not
just in densely populated areas as is currently
required.
Last week, the National Transportation
Safety Board blamed a series of failures by
one of the nations largest natural gas compa-
nies, Pacic Gas & Electric Co., for an acci-
dent that killed eight people and injured 58
others in San Bruno. The Sept. 9, 2010, acci-
dent also destroyed 38 homes and damaged 70
others.
Weak oversight by federal and state regula-
tors contributed to the accident, the board
said.
The bill was posted online Wednesday by
the House Transportation and Infrastructure
Committee. The committee is tentatively
scheduled to vote on it Thursday.
The bill improves safety, enhances reliabil-
ity and provides regulatory certainty that will
help create new jobs, Rep. Bill Shuster, R-
Pa., the bills chief sponsor, said in a state-
ment.
But safety advocates said the bill would
undermine safety, and the nations top acci-
dent investigator cautioned against blocking
regulators from imposing tougher standards
on industry.
As a result of the investigation in San
Bruno and others across the country, the
NTSB would be concerned about any legisla-
tion that weakens an already lax system of
oversight, board chairman Deborah Hersman
said in a statement.
Firefighters gain
ground against Texas wildfire
BASTROP, Texas Fireghters gained
ground Wednesday against one of the most
destructive wildres in Texas history even as
the state said the number of homes lost
reached almost 800, and an elite search team
set out to nd any victims in the smoking
ruins. Gov. Rick Perry, meanwhile, resumed
his presidential campaign after rushing home
over the weekend to deal with the crisis, trav-
eling to California to meet his Republican
rivals in his rst nationally televised debate.
The blaze has left at least two people dead,
blackened about 45 square miles around Bastrop
and cast a haze over Austin, 25 miles to the west,
where the air smelled strongly of pine and cedar.

WASHINGTON First, do no
harm. Economists say the most
important part of the jobs plan
President Barack Obama will unveil
Thursday night is the renewal of two
measures already in place a cut
in Social Security taxes and emer-
gency aid for the unemployed.
His new proposals, like spending
more for transportation projects and
cutting taxes for companies that hire
the unemployed, probably wouldnt
add many jobs, they say. Not soon,
anyway.
These are not bold, new, big pro-
grams, says Nariman Behravesh,
chief economist
with IHS Global
Insight. You put
e v e r y t h i n g
together, its
going to be pret-
ty small.
The job mar-
ket needs big
help. In August,
the economy
generated zero job growth. And the
unemployment rate is 9.1 percent, a
level more typical for a recession
than for a recovery in its third year.
For Obama, who also faces sink-
ing approval ratings as he goes
before a joint session of Congress
and on national TV, the options are
limited. Congress must approve any
new measures, and congressional
Republicans oppose new spending.
Anything that would be of a big
enough size to really help the labor
market is going to have trouble get-
ting through Congress, says Michael
Hanson, senior economist at Bank of
America Merrill Lynch. And any-
thing that can get through Congress
will be too small to be much help.
Federal Reserve Chairman Ben
Bernanke, International Monetary
Fund chief Christine Lagarde and
other economists have urged
Congress to do more to help job
growth and the economy over the
next year or two and worry about
cutting spending later.
Obamas best jobs plan: Status quo

WASHINGTON Government
policies to increase domestic energy
production could create up to a mil-
lion jobs over the next seven years,
the oil industry said in a report
issued a day before President
Barack Obama delivers a major
speech on jobs.
The American Petroleum Institute
said Wednesday that proposals to
expand offshore oil drilling, boost
production of natural gas in New
York and other states and build a
Canada-to-Texas oil pipeline could
boost the U.S. economy.
Taken together, the proposals
could generate billions in new gov-
ernment revenue and help make the
U.S. less dependent on foreign ener-
gy sources, said API president Jack
Gerard.
We believe that could be a very
important part of the presidents
plan in his focus on job creation and
working with the Republican and
Democratic leadership in
Congress, Gerard said.
Oil industry: Boost in energy could create 1M jobs
By Kasie Hunt
SIMI VALLEY Eager to tangle,
Republican presidential rivals Rick
Perry and Mitt Romney sparred vig-
orously over job creation and Social
Security Wednesday night in a feisty
campaign debate that marked a con-
tentious new turn in the race to pick a
2012 challenger to President Barack
Obama.
Far more than in earlier GOP
debates this summer, the candidates
mixed it up in their rst faceoff since
Perry entered the race and almost
instantly overtook Romney as the
front-runner in opinion polls. Those
two and other contenders
sniped at one another, contradicted
allegations and interrupted media
questioners to demand opportunities
to take each other on.
Michael Dukakis created jobs
three times faster than you did, Mitt,
Perry jabbed in the debates opening
moments, referring to Romneys
Democratic predecessor as governor
of Massachusetts.
As a matter of fact, George Bush
and his predecessors created jobs at a
faster rate than you did, Romney
shot back at Perry, the newcomer who
has quickly
become the front-
runner in the race.
The debate was
the rst of three
in as many
weeks, at a time
when the econo-
my is struggling,
unemployment is
seemingly stuck
at 9.1 percent and
Obamas popu-
larity is sinking in
the polls all
events that could
make the GOP
nomination worth
more than it
appeared only a
few months ago.
Perry and
Romney stood
next to each other on the debate stage
at the Ronald Reagan Presidential
Library, a symbolic setting that
invoked the memory of the conserva-
tive Republican who swept to two
terms as president. And for much of
the evening, the two men were at the
center of the action, largely reducing
their rivals to the roles of spectators
looking for a way into the action.

Always take what
you read with a
grain of salt! It
amazes me that so
many articles I see
being published in
various magazines,
tabloids, journals, etc. are implied to be
factual and researched but in reality end
up being riddled with partial truths,
inaccuracies and falsehoods! I always like
information that is backed up by provable
facts, but am leery of articles that are hastily
written and not checked out. Many people
assume that all their reading material has
been pre-verified by an editor. Accepting
these erroneous types of writings as the
gospel truth causes confusion among the
public and can be potentially harmful!
One serious example is the daily flooding
of email stories that are passed from reader
to reader (weve all received them) and
taken by many recipients as factual writings.
The majority of these emails, such as
perceived parents searching for their missing
child; hearsay about the Presidents status as
an American citizen; rumors on the latest
medical scare or remedy; handy household
uses for cola; Bill Gates sharing his fortune
with you if you forward that email to 10
friends; in addition to countless other stories
are all found to be internet myths or hoaxes.
TIP: You can easily check out the validity
of every email story you receive by going to
www.snopes.com and typing in the subject
of any questionable email in the search box.
In another example, I was recently given
an article to review from Readers Digest
called 13 Things the Funeral Director
Wont Tell You as part of their series
featuring different professions. Being an
actual Funeral Director, and knowing the
facts, I couldnt believe the inexplicable info
I was reading in a supposedly reputable
magazine such as Readers Digest. It was
obvious to me that the author of the article
and the editor of the magazine not only
didnt check their alleged facts, but some of
the items listed were misleading, incomplete
assertions or just plain folklore! Anyone
reading this would just assume that all was
checked out in advance with experts and
professionals before being printedbut in
this case it was a listing of partial truths or
unexplained hearsay. Since this article
appeared (in the June/July 2011 issue) the
National Funeral Directors Association
among other groups have chastised
Readers Digest for their inept reporting.
This circumstance makes it difficult for me
to fully have faith in Readers Digest and
reminds me that fallacies that can show up
in otherwise trusted publications.
Another situation similar to the above
appeared a while back in AARP magazine.
I always viewed this publication as having a
stellar reputation until I read an article about
funeral rip-offs that was also filled with
inaccurate statements. In that case AARP
was not checking their facts either.
The point is that some authors may have
part of their facts correct or incorrectbut
until you verify your reading material with a
professional you should take what you read
with some good humor and a grain of salt.
If you ever wish to discuss cremation,
funeral matters or want to make pre-
planning arrangements please feel free to
call me and my staff at the CHAPEL OF
THE HIGHLANDS in Millbrae at (650)

Reporters notebook
Two arrested
for attempted murder
Two alleged gang members were
arrested within days of allegedly
shooting a young man in the neigh-
borhood near San Mateos Martin
Luther King Jr. Memorial
Recreation Center the week of Sept.
9, 2006.
Andreas Cabrera, 19, of South
San Francisco, and Hector Corzo,
17, of San Mateo, were arrested for
allegedly shooting a young man in
broad daylight on the 200 block of
Eldorado Street, said San Mateo
police Lt. Tom Daughtry.
Masked men take
off with diamonds
It took a matter of seconds for
four masked men to rob two jewelry
salesmen of $500,000 worth of dia-
mond necklaces, rings, earrings and
pendants the week of Sept. 9, 2006.
At approximately 9 a.m. on a
Wednesday of that week, South San
Francisco police responded to
reports of a robbery outside the
Travelodge Hotel at 326 S. Airport
Blvd. Two salesmen who regularly
traveled from New York to Los
Angeles and drove up to the Bay
Area to sell diamond jewelry were
robbed as soon as they went to their
car.
The two salesmen were getting
into their car when three men with
bandannas over their face
approached them and punched out
the cars windows.
San Mateo officer
kills homeless man
A homeless man familiar to many
in downtown San Mateo was shot to
death the week of Sept. 9, 2006 by a
police ofcer responding to a distur-
bance call at a nearby market.
At 1:39 p.m. on a Monday of that
week, a four-year San Mateo police
ofcer responded to a disturbance
call at Central Market, 517 S. B St.,
near the intersection of Fifth
Avenue.
The store owner reported a crazy
guy was trying to pick a ght with a
customer, according to a statement
released by the San Mateo Police
Department.
Coyote Point
Museum board ousted
The 19-member Board of Trustees
that sought to close Coyote Point
Museum and have it replaced with a
global warming museum was ousted
the week of Sept. 9, 2006 and
replaced with 17 new trustees who
fought to save it.
The move was one of the nal
shots in a fast and furious battle to
save the 52-year-old educational
facility and set into motion a pro-
posal to increase fundraising and
improve both programs and exhibits.
From the archives highlights stories orig-
inally printed ve years ago this week. It

OPINION 9
Ten years later
I
miss flowers at the airport. Its not as if
I received them every time somebody
picked me up from a flight or even that
a surprise bouquet means any less if deliv-
ered in baggage
pickup or curb-
side.
But before 9/11,
there was that
moment when
departing the plane
that you think
maybe, just maybe,
among the crowd
of eager greeters
the one for you
will be holding a
stful of posies
along with a smile.
Now, theres not even a chance. That sliver
of romantic or just friendly opportunity is
gone, along with so many other things.
On this 10th anniversary of the terrorist
attacks, the focus is on the big things we lost
both personally and as a nation. The human
toll, undoubtedly, is the largest and still most
horric. The basic sense of security also, of
course.
Flowers are nothing compared to other
changes. Gitmo, no-y lists, al-Qaida, Osama
bin Laden, shoe bombs, Homeland Security.
These were never in the lexicon before and
represent a new reality bigger than one per-
sons experience.
Sometimes, though, the small things are
what stops one in their tracks. Close the
newspaper or turn off the television; forget
that Tuesday morning when the towers fell
and a Pennsylvania eld became a grave site.
Instead, talk about sports and plan trips.
But when you get off the plane back home,
remember there are no owers. And why are
there no owers? Because new security
restrictions say nobody but passengers can be
at the gate past the checkpoints. And why is
that? Oh yeah, 9/11.
Recollections have a way of sneaking up.
Anniversaries mark the passage of time and
serve as time capsules of a sort. To recall the
terrorist attack is to ashback to who and
where we were 10 years ago. What were you
driving? Had your bangs grown out yet and or
that roommate moved away? Still love the
same signicant other? Set up a retirement
plan yet or decide to leap into a career
change? What song annoyed you every time it
played on the radio that song that when
blared now immediately carries you back to
the year that was originally only notable for
being the rst post-Y2K?
Its easy not to recognize just how much is
different.
Forgetting 9/11 seems impossible, but for
those of us further than arms length from the
tragedy, the sense of insecurity and indigna-
tion likely doesnt cut as sharply as the per-
sonal heartache of that group. Life does go
on, leaving the events for history books and
memorials.
For some this week, too, the anniversary of
9/11 is overshadowed by a fresher wound as
the San Bruno catastrophe reaches its one-
year mark. As with 9/11, those who werent
there can never pretend to fully understand
the magnitude. Those who didnt run from the
reball or still cry for smiling faces who will
never again walk through the door cant truly
know the kick in the gut each day brings. This
doesnt mean those outside that epicenter of
disaster cant empathize or recognize the
enormity but they have the luxury of moving
on while the others cling to any souvenirs
pulled from the ash.
A diamond ring, photographs, a rubber
ducky, a retired police ofcer badge. These
mementos are so small on their own; so
mighty in what they represent.
And so it is with owers. There can still be
bouquets at the airport but it really isnt the
same.
Ever since 9/11, and now San Bruno, some
things never can be.

Durands column on food trucks
Editor,
I just wanted to say that I found Michelle
Durands column No Nom Nom for me in
the Aug. 30 edition of the Daily Journal to be
funny and worth reading. I like how she sets
the tone with humor and wit. Also, I could
relate to the experience because I was one of
those people who heard Nom Nom is com-
ing but had no idea what it was or why I
cared. But I must say, I did stand in line for
Nom Nom and loved the banh mi. I would go
back for that. Also, like Michelle, I am deter-
mined to try all the food trucks. So yay on
her column! I liked it.

High-speed rail shouting
Editor,
The continual diatribe against high-speed-
rail is pretty strange. Opposers obsess about
the rail making money. Yet none of these
writers seem to care how much Highway 101,
Interstate 280 or the roads past their resi-
dences make or lose (Oh, wait. Roads are
entirely money losing and tax based projects).
Economics do matter, but these letters and
columns against the rail completely fail to
address our real choices. For example, these
writers fail to compare the costs of efcient
rail versus inefcient road transportation.
These articles and letters do us a disservice.

Reply to Observations on Labor Day
Editor,
I could not agree more with the guest per-
spective Observations on Labor Day by
Shelley Kessler and Rayna Lehman in the
Sept. 5 edition of the Daily Journal. The
question posed at the end of the article (So
what does labor want on Labor Day? We
want good jobs, health care, safe workplaces,
foreclosure prevention, retirement security,
education, fair trade policies, workforce train-
ing, an end to war, dignity and respect. Isnt
that what everyone wants?) reects what I
have always believed, and wanted to believe,
about not just Americans but the very essence
of the human animal.
After working for nearly 60 employers in
my life, however, the question, regrettably, is
rhetorical. The answer is a powerful, demean-
ing, and resounding No! Too many of us
in the working class still reserve the right
to bemoan our individual fates while ghting
vehemently on a collective level to preserve
and perpetuate the very dehumanization of
working men and women.

The new district attorney?
Editor,
I share Michael Stogners concern regard-
ing District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe
(Unprovoked attack on a public transit cus-
tomer letter to the editor in the Sept. 3-4 edi-
tion of the Daily Journal).
I was actually looking forward to
Wagstaffes new responsibilities as San Mateo
County district attorney, given his predeces-
sors lack of prosecutorial zest. Up until now,
I honestly have not seen any changes in the
District Attorneys Ofce. The philosophy is
the same; there is just a different person.
Gangs in San Mateo County are becoming
more aggressive, and it appears that the dis-
trict attorney (and some of the judges) is
either afraid of retaliation or does not really
care about the victims. I remember
Wagstaffe, as assistant district attorney in
Santa Clara County, to be more supportive of
the plight of the victims than of the convicted.
I guess it must be the sign of the times.

PG&E capitalism
Editor,
Pacic Gas and Electric is a good example
of capitalism gone bad. While the company is
touting its smart meters constantly, it fails to
mention its dumb gas lines that go boom. It
does not keep track of these gas lines and will
not even tell re departments where they exist
because of possible terrorist attacks. Here is a
case in which there has to be better regulation
and supervision. The current level of govern-
ment supervision is a joke. This is another
case of when business-friendly government
inspectors go on the word of PG&E represen-
tatives.
So conservative letter writers, close your
eyes and do not watch the results of such dis-
asters such as the San Bruno gas line explo-
sion. Close your eyes and do not watch busi-
ness incompetency, business-friendly govern-
ment and lack of regulations. Just check to
see if a major gas line comes near your home
or mansion.

Lets get it right
Editor,
In response to his letter, Israeli airport
security in the Aug. 24 edition of the Daily
Journal, once again Scott Abramson jumps
the gun by misreading my letter to the editor
(Taking the Train in the Aug. 22 edition of
the Daily Journal) when I was referring to a
bunch of shifty-eyed, gulping, sweating trou-
blemakers. I was referring to the U.S.
Congress who have a 14 percent approval rat-
ing. I was not ridiculing Israeli security
strategies.
But, since Scott brought this up, an Israeli-
operated airport security company called
ICTS (employed at Charles DeGaulle Airport
in Paris to screen passengers boarding U.S.
planes whose security ofcers are former
Shin Bet ofcers) allowed shoe bomber
Richard Reid to board a ight to America.

dence or agrant incompetence?

Inaccurate information in
Construction and Conspiracy
Editor,
The letter Construction and Conspiracy,
by R. Dean Harman, in the Aug. 30 edition of
the Daily Journal, has inaccurate information.
The architect was Minoru Yamasaki &
Associates, Troy, Mich. The structural engi-
neering rm was Worthington, Skilling,
Helle, & Jackson, HCME based in Seattle,
Wash. This is a quote from Wikipedia: The
World Trade Center towers used high-
strength, load-bearing perimeter steel
columns called Vierendeel trusses that were
spaced closely together to form a strong, rigid
wall structure, supporting virtually all lateral
loads such as wind loads, and sharing the
gravity load with the core columns. For a
full and accurate description of the structure,
go to World Trade Center, in Wikipedia.

Wake up San Mateo County
Editor,
In response to to article County seeks
redistricting public input in the Sept. 6 edi-
tion of the Daily Journal, Adrienne Tissier,
Rose Jacobs Gibson, Carole Groom, Don
Horsley and Dave Pine want your input on
this.
I recommend, at this critical nancial time,
no change. This is not the time to spend San
Mateo County taxpayer money, especially not
on this issue.
Any shift of boundary lines could poten-
tially alter the eligibility of an individual to
run for a specic seat, and any change in
boundaries could possibly bring in areas of
Redwood Shores. For those of you who
might not know, there is high-prole political
gure and friend of the supervisors who lives
in an area of Redwood Shores. If the supervi-
sors choose to change the boundaries, I would
recommend the south end of county, Atherton
and part of Menlo Park to be included in
District 4 instead including areas of Redwood
Shores into District 4. Also, District 2 needs
to be adjusted down to be equal. There is no
mention of that in the article.
Tell them what you think now:
DistrictLines@co.sanmateo.ca.us.

NEW YORK A broad rally broke a
three-day losing streak in the stock mar-
ket Wednesday as fears about Europes
debt crisis ebbed.
Stocks rose sharply after a German
court backed the countrys role in bailing
out other European nations. The Dow
Jones industrial average jumped 200
points in the rst hour of trading and
continued to climb throughout the day,
ending up 275 points. The afternoon
gains came after Italys Senate approved
a decit-cutting package and the Federal
Reserve reported that U.S. business con-
ditions are improving.
Traders were also speculating that
President Barack Obama would
announce a $300 billion jobs package
made up of tax cuts, state aid and infra-
structure spending in an address to
Congress on Thursday night.
The Dow and other U.S. indexes fell
over the previous three days on worries
over weakness in the U.S. job market
and concerns that Europes debt woes
could lead to a global economic reces-
sion.
The market has been pricing in an
out-and-out recession, so any hints that
policy issues might be solved is a plus,
said Brian Gendreau, market strategist at
Cetera Financial Group.
The Dow surged 275.56 points, or 2.5
percent, to close at 11,414.86. All 30
stocks in the Dow average rose.
The Standard and Poors 500 index
jumped 33.38, or 2.9 percent, to
1,198.62. All 10 company groups that
make up the S&P index rose. The
Nasdaq composite shot up 75.11, or 3
percent, to 2,548.94.
The German court ruling also pushed
the prices of Treasury securities lower as
investors were more willing to hold risky
assets like stocks. Treasury prices have
been rising over the past week, sending
their yields lower, as demand for lower-
risk investments increased.
The yield on the 10-year Treasury note
rose to 2.05 percent. Its price fell 50
cents per $100 invested.
The yield traded at 1.97 percent late
Tuesday. On Monday it fell to 1.91 per-
cent, the lowest since the Federal
Reserve Bank of St. Louis began keep-
ing daily records in 1962. Gold, another
traditional safe haven, fell $56, or 3 per-
cent, to $1,817 an ounce.

WASHINGTON The Obama
administration is providing a loan guar-
antee for a massive solar energy project
that could double the number of glim-
mering solar panels on residential
rooftops in the U.S.
The Energy Department said
Wednesday it provided a partial guaran-
tee for a $344 million loan to San
Mateo-based SolarCity for the
SolarStrong Project, which seeks to
place solar panels on 160,000 homes
across 124 military bases in 33 states.
This is the largest domestic residen-
tial rooftop solar project in history,
Energy Secretary Steven Chu said in a
news release. This groundbreaking
project is expected to create hundreds of
jobs for Americans and provide clean,
renewable power to our military fami-
lies.
SolarCity CEO Lyndon Rive said the
company already had started its rst mil-
itary base project under the program at
Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam in
Hawaii. When fully installed, about
2,000 military homes will be powered
by solar at the base.
It is super important to get the guar-
antee from DOE, and because of this we
can now provide clean power at a lower
cost than regular power in 33 states,
Rive told the Associated Press.
SolarCity will own and operate the
panels and work with private companies
that run the military housing to install
them.
According to the Solar Energy
Industries Association, 138,600 solar
systems were installed on residential
rooftops at the end of 2010, and they
generated about 637 megawatts of
power.
If the SolarStrong project is fully
implemented on the military housing it
is targeting, it would add 160,000 more
solar-powered homes in the U.S. The
Defense Department is the nations sin-
gle largest consumer of electricity.
By tapping into our abundant domes-
tic solar energy to power base housing,
the military is showing the rest of coun-
try that homeowners throughout the
U.S. can help improve our energy inde-
pendence by going solar, said Rhone
Resch, president of the solar industries
group.
Tim Newell, the managing director of
the U.S. Renewable Energy Group, the
private equity rm providing the loan for
the project, said the project was a low
risk for the government. SolarCity is
already the leading installer and operator
of panels on U.S. residences.
Its important to remember that all of
the capital (including the loan) for this
project is being provided by the private
sector, Newell said in an email. DOE
is only providing a guarantee for a por-
tion of the projects loan in order to
reduce the nancing cost and make it
possible to include more states and more
military bases in the project.
The loan program has come under re
in recent days, after a solar company
declared bankruptcy last week despite
receiving nearly $528 million in federal
loans.
Solyndra LLC of Fremont was the lat-
est in a series of failures in the U.S. solar
business, which has been beset by over-
supply and competition from abroad.
SolarCity gets govt backing
By Matthew Daly
WASHINGTON Two years after
the economic stimulus law, about one-
third of the money authorized for an
energy efciency program has not been
spent, a government audit found.
The Energy Departments inspector
general said Wednesday that state and
local governments have left as much
$879 million unspent from a $2.7 billion
program intended to boost energy ef-
ciency and create jobs. That is a big
change from a year ago, when less than
10 percent of the grant money had been
spent, but is far below what the Obama
administration projected when the stim-
ulus was approved in 2009.
Inspector General Gregory Friedman
said the unspent money undermines a
basic premise of the stimulus law: to
promptly stimulate the economy and
create jobs.
The report came as President Barack
Obama prepared for a major speech on
jobs Thursday to a joint session of
Congress. He is considering a plan total-
ing about $300 billion in tax cuts and
spending for 2012, people familiar with
the plan told the Associated Press. The
package is designed to increase con-
sumer demand, speed up infrastructure
construction and spur hiring.
The report on the DOEs energy ef-
ciency program found that less than $1.4
billion of the $2.7 billion allocated for
the Energy Efciency and Conservation
Block Grants program has been spent as
of last month. Another $500 million had
been committed by state and local gov-
ernments but not spent, the report said.

SAN FRANCISCO Yahoos stock
rose more than 5 percent on Wednesday
after the company red its CEO follow-

Tuesdays ouster came as investors
were convinced that Carol Bartz could-
nt steer the Internet company to a long-
promised turnaround.
To ll the void, Yahoos board named
Tim Morse, its chief nancial ofcer, as
interim CEO. Bartz, who became CEO
in 2009, lured Morse away from com-
puter chip maker Altera Corp. two years
ago to help her cuts costs. Yahoo said it
is looking for a permanent replacement.
Yahoo Chairman Roy Bostock, also a
target of shareholder frustration,
informed Bartz about the move over the
phone, according to an e-mail the outgo-
ing CEO sent from her iPad that was
obtained by the All Things D technology
blog. The blog rst reported Bartzs
ouster.

Carlmont tames Tigers
By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
If the whole goal of the preseason is to con-
sistently improve in preparation for league
play, then the Carlmont girls volleyball team
is ahead of the curve.
After playing well in a 2-1 loss to national
power Mitty at the Milpitas Spikefest over the
weekend, the Scots carried their good play
into the annual Battle of Belmont against rival
Notre Dame-Belmont Wednesday evening.
After a close Game 1, the Scots steadily
pulled away in Games 2 and 3 as they swept
the visiting Tigers, 25-18, 25-15, 25-16.
Theyve beaten us the last three years,
said Carlmont senior Shelby Vance, who had
a monster match. I know its a big game for
all the seniors. We did not want to lose.
Other than the occasional struggle with
their service game, the Scots played nearly
awless in all aspects of the game. Its even
hard to say Carlmont struggled with serving
S
niff. Sniff. Smell that? Its the
beginning of the NFL season and
considering where the league was
ve months ago during the lockout, is there
anything that smells sweeter?
But what is it about the NFL that gets
sports fans all atwitter? There is not the
same amount of anticipation for the base-
ball or basketball season.
But football? American sports fans cant
get enough of it. It truly has replaced base-
ball as Americas passion.
But why? I suggest its the proliferation
of fantasy football.
The gambling aspect
of the game cant be
discounted either, but
I believe a lot more
people gamble
through fantasy foot-
ball than they do
actually placing bets
on games.
Playing fantasy
sports games is noth-
ing new. Some form
of fantasy baseball
has been around for
decades, well before it spilled over into
football and basketball. But fantasy foot-
ball appears to have the perfect model.
Unlike baseball or basketball, there are
only 16 NFL games, once a week. By con-
trast, NBA, MLB and NHL have several
games a week. The NFL provides the per-
fect rhythm for the fantasy game. True,
fantasy players spend a lot of time on their
team (or teams, as the case may be), break-
ing down matchups of their opponents. But
at least a player has all week to decide on a
lineup. Imagine the time spent having to
worry daily about a fantasy baseball or
basketball team. Imagine the hours lost at
work.
More importantly, fantasy football
opened up the game to fans. Instead of

In a preseason volleyball battle
for San Mateo supremacy, round
one goes to the Hillsdale Knights.
Behind the strong offensive play
of Kelley Maloney and some superb
rst set defense by libero Karen
Chang, Hillsdale beat inter-city rival
San Mateo 3-1, 29-27, 25-15, 20-
25, 25-19, Wednesday night on their
home oor.
We had a theme coming in, said
Hillsdale head coach Ricky
Villareal. And that was 100 percent
physical, 100 percent mental. We
kind of let it slide there in the third
set, but we wanted to be strong, we
wanted to be aggressive, spread the
offense around and not be too pre-
dictable. I think we did that today.
Maloney was instrumental in the
decisive fourth set, tallying four
huge kills in the middle of the frame
when the Knights went on an 11-
point run that opened up a consider-
able gap the Bearcats could not
overcome.
Kelley was big for us, Villareal
said. When we had her in, we
wanted to take advantage of it.
But the Knights set the tone early
with some great defense. It was a
marathon-type set that began with
the Bearcats taking an 8-4 lead. But
Hillsdale charged back to tie things
up at eight, and from that point on
the teams went back and forth,
exchanging side-outs tied at
almost every point along the way.
Tied at 27, Hillsdale turned to
Maloney who got a kill for point

ALAMEDA Al Saunders was a teenager
when he rst worked for the Oakland Raiders,
serving as a ball boy in Al Davis rst year as
coach with the franchise in 1963.
Nearly ve decades later, Saunders is back in
a much more substantial role as offensive coor-
dinator on coach Hue Jacksons staff as the
Raiders try to return to a level of success that has
eluded them during a run of
eight straight non-winning
seasons.
As a kid, this was my
team, Saunders said.
When you get to the tail
end of your career, there are
a lot of things more impor-
tant in what you do than
some other things. I would
love to see this franchise
return to the way it was
when I was a kid growing up. Id like to help the
guy that I was a ball boy for years ago, maybe
return this franchise to the class and the quality
that it was many years ago. I would really feel
great if I could make a contribution in that
regard.
Saunders, an accomplished marathon runner,
is still full of energy at age 64. He often sprints
down the practice eld to congratulate someone
after a big play and has even chased a receiver
and knocked the ball out of his hands as he gets
to the end zone to teach a lesson about ball secu-
rity.
But Saunders brings more than energy to the
job. He is also famous for his voluminous play-
book, which quarterback Jason Campbell com-
pares to Websters Dictionary, and vast knowl-
edge of the passing game learned under Don
Coryell.
Saunders has been involved with some of the
most prolic offenses in the NFL during his
three decades as an assistant or head coach from
San Diego in the 1980s to the Super Bowl cham-
pion St. Louis Rams in 1999 to a Kansas City
Chiefs team that led the league in total offense
during his ve years as coordinator from 2001-
05.
Coach Saunders is very detailed, said
Campbell, who spent two years in Washington
with Saunders. He does a lot of different things.
He just wants to see things done right and pretty
much help us improve where we left off last
year, just continue to grow and continue to get
better.
When Jackson got hired in January to replace
Tom Cable one of the rst calls he made was to
Saunders to be his offensive coordinator.
Jackson had talked to Saunders about being on
his staff long before he ever got the job, having
told him during their time together as assistants
in Baltimore that he would hire him when he
became a head coach.
While Jackson will remain the play-caller,
Saunders is deeply involved in coaching the
quarterbacks and running the offense.
He allows me to be all that I can be for this
team, and what he does for our offense is just
tremendous, with the quarterbacks, with the
offensive line, with the whole offense, Jackson
said. So it makes me very comfortable when I
need to run around and be a part of the defense,
special teams or anything, Al Saunders is de-
nitely the right guy for me and for this organiza-
tion and for this team.
Saunders is a perfect t for the Raiders, hav-
ing been schooled in the same type of offense
that Davis employed in his coaching career.
Davis came to the Raiders after working for
passing game visionary Sid Gillman with the
Chargers. Gillman also inuenced Coryell, who
gave Saunders his start in the NFL as an assistant
in San Diego in 1983.
Al Davis has always been a proponent of the
vertical passing game, Saunders said. He
worked for Sid Gillman, and Sid was a great
inuence on me as a young coach and certainly
on Don Coryell. So were in the same philoso-
phy of football, the philosophy of attacking the
seams and getting the ball up the eld, and going
from deep to short rather than going from short
to deep.
Saunders, Raiders a perfect fit
By Janie McCauley
SANTA CLARA This weekend, safety
Donte Whitner draws the daunting task of try-
ing to shut down Seattle Pro Bowler Zach
Miller.
It could emerge as one of the more impor-
tant matchups Sunday in San Franciscos sea-
son opener against the defending NFC West
champion Seahawks and help determine
the outcome of coach Jim Harbaughs NFL
debut. The 49ers need a reliable cover man
after the departure of Manny Lawson, and
Whitner is determined to become that guy for
his new team.
Seattle surely will try to
expose him.
Im looking forward to
it. Im challenging myself.
Im challenging my team-
mates, Whitner said. Its
going to come down to
some one-on-one battles
with me and him.
Miller and Whitner
arent strangers, either.
They share an agent and
went through the free
agency process together
this summer after the lock-
out, only to wind up in the
same division.
Miller, the athletic and
talented tight end, certain-
ly will be eager to make a
statement in his debut for
the Seahawks overhauled
offense. He will be back in the Bay Area, too,
following four seasons with the Oakland
Raiders. He led the Raiders in receiving the
past three years but Oakland was unable to
keep him in free agency.
Whiter hopes his matchups with Vernon
Davis during practice have helped prepare him
for Miller, who has an uncanny ability to gain
extra yardage after the catch with his speed.
Hes a really good tight end in this league,
but I think I see the best tight end in the
National Football League here each and every
day, Whitner said.
The 26-year-old Whitner, the eighth overall
pick out of Ohio State in 2006, ranked fth in
the NFL with 140 tackles last season for
Buffalo and also had one forced fumble, an
interception and half a sack.
Donte, for sure, is a big deal, to have him
with his experience and background and play-
making and all of that, Seahawks coach Pete
Carroll said.
But Whitner struggled in coverage for the
Bills, allowing 38 completions on 53 attempts
for 501 yards and 10 touchdowns, according
to game charting by STATS LLC. Whitner
was the targeted defender on more TD passes
than any other player in the league in 2010.
Hes a pretty solid player, Seattle quarter-
back Tarvaris Jackson said.
Not exactly a ringing endorsement of
Whitners skills.
He heard the skeptics before in Buffalo.
That fuels him all the more.
I usually read a lot of the blogs and some-
times even fans, Whitner said. They might
not even know which defense you were in,
you just might be in the area. It might not be
your responsibility but they form their opinion
based on what they see from the cut ups. Just
a little extra motivation for myself.
Another 49ers defender, rookie Aldon
Smith one of San Franciscos three outside
linebackers is raw and has yet to develop
his coverage skills.
Miller will no doubt take note. He had 60
catches for 685 yards and ve touchdowns last
season in his nal year for Oakland.
I watched what he did in Oakland and
were just trying to make sure we play to his
strong suits, try to get him the ball and let him
run after the catch, Jackson said. In Oakland
he was pretty good after the catch, so just try
to get him the ball and let him do what he do.
The 49ers ranked 20th in the NFL for pass
defense in 2010. Whitner hopes to help
change that in a revamped defense with many
new faces, while also taking on a leadership
role for the unit.
Whitner committed a pass-interference
penalty late in the rst quarter of a 30-7 pre-
season loss to the Texans on Aug. 27 that
helped set up Derrick Wards 1-yard touch-
down run that put Houston ahead for good.
He doesnt pretend to have everything down
just right in defensive coordinator Vic
Fangios system. As Harbaugh so likes to say,
its a process.
Whitner hopes to be an active, attacking,
ying-around-the-eld defender like Steelers
star Troy Polamalu the NFLs Defensive
Player of the Year in 2010.
Perhaps in time. The 49ers just want
Whitner to be himself.
Hes a versatile guy. He can cover, he can
play the deep zones, hes smart, Fangio said.
We expect him to be kind of the quarterback
of our secondary, and were very pleased to
have him. He just needs to be the safety for us.
He doesnt need to be the safety for somebody
else.
Notes: WR Michael Crabtree, who missed
his third straight preseason with a broken left
foot that required surgery, ran routes at full
speed and looked healthy. Harbaugh wouldnt
say whether Crabtree will play Sunday. ... CB
Shawntae Spencer (hamstring) and S Reggie
Smith recovering from recent surgery to
repair the meniscus in his knee also
returned to practice.

OAKLAND Guillermo Moscoso had no
intention of giving up the ball easily. Oakland
manager Bob Melvin had to wrestle it from him
with two outs in the ninth inning.
Melvin appreciated Moscosos competitive
nature.
Moscoso held Kansas City hitless until rookie
Salvador Perez singled with two outs in the eighth
inning, and the Athletics beat the Royals 7-0
Wednesday.
I guess my one bad pitch came in the last
inning, Moscoso said. They showed the last two
games that they are good hitters and that just
made me focus more. I was feeling great.
Moscoso (8-8) wound up allowing two hits in 8
2-3 innings. The right-hander walked one and
struck out four in his 18th major league start.
A lot of guys may have better stuff or better
location that Guillermo but no one has a bigger
heart, Melvin said. The ninth inning was painful
for me. I just couldnt stomach the fact he would
throw 130 pitches. He wouldnt give me the ball.
It was actually a wrestling match for a little
while.
Moscoso set an Oakland
record by retiring 30 consec-
utive hitters the nal 13
against Seattle last Friday
and the rst 17 against the
Royals. He walked Kansas
Citys Alcides Escobar with
two outs in the sixth.
It was a great day for
everybody, Moscoso said.
I always want to go deep
into the game. This is some-
thing you never know if it will happen.
Perez broke up the no-hit bid by lining a clean,
opposite-eld eld single to right.
Moscoso recorded 16 of his outs on y balls to
the outeld, 10 to center elder Coco Crisp.
Crisps diving catch on Billy Butlers sinking liner
ended the rst inning.
You have to take your hat off to that pitching
performance, Royals manager Ned Yost said.
Weve been swinging the bats really well. You
know what? That kid threw a damn good game
and thats just the way it is.

SAN DIEGO The San Francisco Giants
know time is running short on defending their
World Series title.
Aaron Harang threw seven strong innings
and Cameron Maybin had two hits and an
RBI as the San Diego Padres dealt a big blow
to the Giants fading playoff hopes with a 3-1
victory Wednesday night.
The Giants, who have 19 games left, came
into the game trailing NL West-leading
Arizona by six games. San Francisco has
dropped three of four and six of 10.
We have to win, Giants starting pitcher
Matt Cain said. Thats all we have to do, is
win.
San Francisco was going for a sweep of the
three-game series against a club it had beaten
six of the previous seven games at Petco Park.
But Cain, who is 8-19 lifetime against the
Padres, had little to show for allowing two
runs and four hits in seven innings. After he
allowed Will Venables leadoff homer in the
rst, he settled down and retired 11 consecu-
tive batters before he issued two walks. Cain
didnt allow another hit until Maybins two-
out double in the sixth.
He did a great job,
Giants manager Bruce
Bochy said. He gave up
the leadoff homer and then
he dealt. He keeps grind-
ing out there for us.
Cain (11-10) struck out
seven and walked three as
he made his 200th career
start.
San Francisco rookie Brett Pill homered for
a second straight game after he hit a home run
Tuesday night in his rst major league at-bat.
Its kind of frustrating when we cant real-
ly do anything for Matt, Pill said.
Venable scored twice, while Maybin dou-
bled and tripled in a run in the ninth.
The Padres got clutch defensive plays by
Venable and Maybin.
The rst was by Maybin, who made a long
running catch while crashing into the wall in
left-center eld to rob Justin Christian leading
off the game. Maybin hit his forehead on the
padded wall and was on the ground for about
a minute before he got up and stayed in the
game.
I kind of face-planted dead square,
Maybin said. Luckily, I was able to make a
play and keep the early momentum because
those guys take advantage.
Venable threw out Pill at home in the sev-
enth when the rookie tried to score on a medi-
um y ball to right by pinch-hitter Pat Burrell.
Its one of those things that you have to go
for it, Bochy said. It took a perfect throw.
Those are the things you look back on and
they hurt.
Said Harang: The guys made some good
plays from the rst hitter of the game that
kind of set the tone. It showed the intensity
and excitement level that was going to hap-
pen.
San Diego, last in the NL West at 62-81,
won for the second time in 13 games overall.
Thats the kind of intensity we have to
bring day in and day out, no matter where we
are in the standings, Maybin said.
Harang (13-5) broke a two-start losing
streak by allowing one run and four hits in
seven innings. Harang, who struck out three
and walked three, is 2-0 with a 0.90 ERA in
three starts this season against the Giants, all
at Petco Park.
Heath Bell got the nal four outs for his
36th save in 40 chances. Bell replaced Chad
Qualls in the eighth and threw one pitch to
retire Carlos Beltran on a line drive to right
with a runner on rst and two outs.
Venable led off the Padres rst with his
seventh homer to right. It also extended his
season club record for leadoff homers to ve.
The home run was the third allowed by
Cain in his last 20 starts. Overall, Cain has
given up only eight homers.
Everything was feeling all right, he said.
I was trying to get ahead of guys and get
early strikes.
Pill tied the game with a homer leading off
the fth. Pill joined John Bowker as the only
two players in franchise history to homer in
their rst two major league games.
Pill homered off Wade LeBlanc on Tuesday
night in his rst major league at-bat, a two-run
shot in the second inning of the Giants 6-4
win.
The Padres took a 2-1 lead in the sixth when
Jesus Guzman singled in Maybin, who
reached on a two-out double.
Once again, Giants give Cain no support

as the Scots nished with 12 aces, four in each
game.
I thought we served tough, put up a pretty good
block, said Chris Crader, in his rst year at
Carlmont after being the longtime head man at
Menlo. We did a pretty good job of not stopping.
We were just really steady.
The Scots front row of middle blocker Torika
Ramulo, along with outside hitters Vance and
Kallan Bedard, was nearly unstoppable. Vance
was the star of the match, consistently nding the
oor with her thundering attacks. She nished
with a match-high 13 kills, nishing 45 percent of
her chances, an outstanding number when any-
thing in the 30-percent range is considered good.
She set a tone early, Crader said.
Vance also had four aces, ve digs and two blocks.
Bedard was equally as lethal nishing with
eight kills, four aces and four digs.
[Bedard] hasnt played much at that (high of a)
level, Crader said. Shes doing a good job of get-
ting better fast.
Ramulo added ve kills, Charlotte Jackman was
4 for 5 on her attacks and also had four blocks.
Crader was especially impressed with libero
Ashley Duba, who nished with four digs and did
an excellent job on the serve receive as well as her
passing.
Saturday was her rst day as a libero, Crader
said.
Notre Dame-Belmont was led by Lauren
Berriatua, who nished with seven kills. Tessa
Board added ve, while Kristen Henry Maria
Santana each nished with three kills apiece.
The Tigers best, consistent game came in
Game 1 as Board, Berriatua and Henry combined
for eight kills. Unfortunately for Notre Dame, that
trio managed only seven more kills the rest of the
match.
A lot of that had to do with the Carlmont
defense, which appeared to get stronger as the
match went along. The Tigers had a tough time
putting balls away as time and again a Scots
defender slid into the perfect spot to dig up the
ball.
Game 1 was a back-and-forth affair with Notre
Dame jumping out to a 6-2 lead, but a kill and an
ace from Vance, along with a kills from Jackman
and Bedard, knotted the game at 6. From there, the
teams traded runs. With the game tied at 13,
Carlmont won 12 of the nal 17 points to post a
25-18 win.
Game 2 started out even, with ve ties, the last
of which came at 9-all.
From there, the Scots pulled away. A 5-0 run
gave the Scots a 14-9 lead, eventually building up
a 24-12 advantage. Notre Dame staved off the
inevitable, winning three straight points, but a
serve long and out of bounds gave Game 2 to the
Scots.
In Game 3, the Scots built up a big, early lead
and never looked back, with Ramulo putting the
nal touches on the sweep with a kill to seal the
match.
I know everyones been working real hard in
practice, Vance said. Our main goal is win
league and go to CCS. I denitely think well go
to CCS, especially considering how well we did
against Mitty and in this game.

focusing on just a favorite team, one a fan
would watch for three hours before moving on
with the rest of their lives. Now, fantasy players
have a vested interest in nearly every game on
Sunday (and Monday, and the occasional
Thursday and Saturday as well). Now, fantasy
football fans can spend upwards of nine hours a
day following all the games around the league.
Dont think that hasnt had a bearing on the

Speaking of the NFL, the San Francisco
49ers open the season at home Sunday against
the Seattle Seahawks. Its the same matchup
that opened the 2010 season, one in which the
Seahawks exposed the Niners for the bad team
they would eventually nish as, beating San
Francisco 31-6.
As has been the case for the last six seasons,
the biggest question mark revolves around Alex
Smith, who, once again, is cemented as the
starting quarterback.
The big question is: why? Why not try to nd
a replacement for him? Why didnt they go
after the number of free agents available, all
who have better track records than Smith? Why
not go after the recently released David Garrard
from Jacksonville?
My theory is this: because of the lockout, the
49ers did not want to rush into anything. The
braintrust must be thinking, well ride out
Smith for one more year and then seriously
address the position when they have a full off-
season to evaluate.
It makes sense. Given how weak the NFC
West is, the 49ers actually do have enough tal-
ent to compete for the division title and a spot
in the playoffs, with very little chance of doing
anything once there. If they dont make the
postseason, it will be no different than the last
eight years. Im sure Harbaugh gures, Give
me a chance to see if I can do something with
Smith. If its the same old, same old, then well
go out and get someone next year.
Andrew Luck anyone?
***
Given their preseason results, there cant be
much hope this year for the Oakland Raiders,
who went winless.
Obviously, preseason means little, but the
Raiders did not show a whole lot of offensive
or defensive repower, which should be cause
for concern.
Jason Campbell is a capable enough quarter-
back, the perfect game manager. But if the
Raiders are to make the move to a playoff con-
tender, hes going to have to step up and lead
the team to wins. But they have to give him
more weapons with which to work and I just
dont see that right now.
Granted, the team was wracked with injuries
during the preseason, including starting running
back Darren McFadden and, as usual, Chaz
Schilens and Louis Murphy. While getting
those guys back will denitely help the cause,
they may not be truly effective until midway
through the season.
And by that point, the team could be hope-
lessly out of contention.

number 28 and then a hitting error locked the
set up for the Knights.
The rst set was highlighted by some stellar
defense in the back by Chang, who for a
stretch there looked like an octopus with all
eight limbs digging San Mateo smash after
smash.
Our defense is denitely our strength,
Villareal said. Last year, we werent that
strong up the middle. This year, we have
Kelley and that changes things.
Hillsdale rode the momentum of the rst set
and rolled in the second. This time, Jami
Maffei carried the load of the offense. Maffei
had ve kills in the 25-15 set including the
clincher to give the Knights the 2-0 advantage.
Hillsdale was helped out by 12 unforced
errors by the Bearcats.
But San Mateo did not go down without a
ght, and they turned to Cami Mauricio for
their repower in the third set. The middle tal-
lied six kills in the set. Maloney tried to keep
the Knights in the frame with three more kills
but, sensing defeat, the Bearcats battled to win
the set 25-20.
I didnt want to go into the fth set and
play not to lose, Villareal said. We had a
lapse in the third, and things would have been
different if we hadnt won it in the fourth.
San Mateo scored the rst two points in the
fourth set as they tried to even things up, and
the frame was tied at four before the Knights
seized control. As mentioned, Maloney was at
the forefront of that charge. Her kill put the
score at 7-5 and from there Hillsdale reeled
off 10 straight points before a misre by the
Knights gave the Bearcats the ball back on a
side-out. But by that time Hillsdale appeared
to be very much in control.
San Mateo made it interesting late, getting
to within four, with Angelica Petelo and
Mauricio supplying most of the offensive
pressure. But the gap was too wide for the
Bearcats to overcome and Hillsdale came
away with the victory.
All I asked in (the fourth) set was an extra
degree of effort, Villareal said, and they did
it.
KNIGHTS
Rain delays U.S. Open for second day
NEW YORK Rafael Nadal, Andy
Roddick and Andy Murray got in about 15
minutes of tennis Wednesday barely
enough to work up a sweat, but more than
enough to get into a snit.
Rain washed out the matches for the second
straight day at the U.S. Open, creating a log-
jam in the schedule and a bigger mess in the
locker room, where the big-name players
questioned the wisdom of putting them out on
courts that were still damp thanks to a ne
mist that was falling in the morning.
Shortly after they started, play was called,
then late in the afternoon, the men were sent
home.
Much later, and right after Serena Williams
warmed up for her match against Anastasia
Pavlyuchenkova, the U.S. Tennis Association
nally scrubbed the womens matches, too,
calling everyone back for an 11 a.m. start
Thursday, when the weather forecast is every
bit as dodgy an 80 percent chance of rain.
If the weather cooperates, this will be a
Grand Slam the likes of which very few of
these players have seen. To win, a man on the
bottom half of the draw would need to win
four matches in four days. The men on the top
of the draw had their quarternal matches
postponed and are in for a long haul, as well.

sional hockey team to its rst game
of the season crashed shortly after
takeoff Wednesday, killing 43 peo-
ple including European and for-
mer NHL players in one of the
worst aviation disasters in sports
history. Two people survived the
accident.
The crash also was the latest
tragedy to befall the sport of hockey
following the sudden, offseason
deaths of three of the NHLs tough-
guy enforcers that has shocked fans.
The chartered Yak-42 jet was car-
rying the team Lokomotiv
Yaroslavl to Minsk, the capital of
Belarus, where it was to play
Thursday in its opening game of the
Kontinental Hockey League season.
Of the 45 people on board, 36 were
players, coaches and team ofcials;
eight were crew.
The plane apparently struggled to
gain altitude and then hit a signal
tower before breaking apart along
the Volga River near Yaroslavl, 150
miles (240 kilometers) northeast of
Moscow. One of the blue-and-white
planes charred engines poked
through the surface of the shallow
water.
This is the darkest day in the his-
tory of our sport, said Reni Fasel,
president of the International Ice
Hockey Federation. This is not
only a Russian tragedy the
Lokomotiv roster included players
and coaches from 10 nations.
One player identified as
Russian Alexander Galimov and
one unidentied crew member were
hospitalized in very grave condi-
tion, said Alexander Degyatryov,
chief doctor at Yaroslavls Solovyov
Hospital.
Among the dead were Lokomotiv
coach and NHL veteran Brad
McCrimmon, a Canadian; assistant
coach Alexander Karpovtsev, one of
the rst Russians to have his name
etched on the Stanley Cup as a
member of the New York Rangers;
and Pavol Demitra, who played for
the St. Louis Blues and the
Vancouver Canucks and was the
Slovakian national team captain.
Other standouts killed were
Czech players Josef Vasicek, Karel
Rachunek and Jan Marek, Swedish
goalie Stefan Liv, Latvian defense-
man Karlis Skrastins and defense-
man Ruslan Salei of Belarus.
Russian NHL star Alex Ovechkin
reected the anguish that resonated
through the sport of hockey when he
tweeted: Im in shock!!!!!R.I.P.
Though it occurred thousands of
miles away from our home arenas,
this tragedy represents a catastroph-
ic loss to the hockey world
including the NHL family, which
lost so many fathers, sons, team-
mates and friends, NHL
Commissioner Gary Bettman said
in a statement.
The NHL already has been
mourning three unexpected deaths
of players in recent months, includ-
ing a suicide and an accidental drug
overdose.
The cause of the crash was not
immediately apparent, but Russian
news agencies cited local ofcials as
saying it may have been due to tech-
nical problems. The plane was built
in 1993 and belonged to a small
Moscow-based company, Yak
Service.
In recent years, Russia and the
other former Soviet republics have
had some of the worlds worst air
trafc safety records.
Experts blame the age of the air-
craft, weak government controls,
poor pilot training and a cost-cutting
mentality.

the goal to keep the districts relatively equal in
size. One plan would maintain the status quo,
another would move western San Mateo and the
Highlands from District One to District Two and
the last would shift southern Belmont from
District Two to District Three.
The supervisors liked another idea to move
Redwood Shores from District Three back to
District Four where it once resided. Jacobs
Gibson called it a no-brainer. But with balanc-
ing population a key criteria, it doesnt t, she
said. Federal law requires the county to redraw its
supervisorial districts every 10 years based on
U.S. Census data, topographic differences and
community preference.
The goal is to have each of the ve districts be
as near equal as can be, said Chief Deputy
County Counsel Lee Thompson.
There is a precedent for a 10 percent variance,
said Thompson.
Census data now indicates San Mateo
Countys population to be 718,451, a roughly
8,000 person increase over the 2000 number. The
total divided equally out over the ve districts
pencils out to just more than 143,690 residents
although the population shifts in specic districts
have varied differences. District Two had the
largest change, jumping 4.7 percent from
134,868, followed by District One with a 3.1 per-
cent increase. Districts Three and Five gained
only slight population, with .4 percent and .3 per-
cent respectively. Only District Four lost resi-
dents, dropping .4 percent from 131,619 to
131,067.
Although the Board of Supervisors represents
the county as a whole, each member must reside
in the district they represent. Any shift of bound-
ary lines could potentially alter the eligibility of
an individual to run for a specic seat as well as
alter each districts populations.
The proposed scenarios grew from a series of
public hearings held the last few months by the
League of Women Voters. While turnout was
meager, and remained so at yesterdays hearing,
common requests included a completely coastal
district and not splitting cities.
South San Francisco Mayor Kevin Mullin reit-
erated the preference yesterday to keep his city
whole. South San Francisco is ably represented
by Tissier and Supervisor Pine, he said, but its
the only community in San Mateo County split
roughly between two different districts.
The city has the same challenge with split dis-
tricts for state seats which can prove challenging
when seeking representation, he said.
The scenario that shifts western San Mateo and
the Highlands would hike the District Two popu-
lation to 157,010, while keeping the others
between 136,012 and 143,443.
Moving a portion of Belmont to District Three
would make that the largest with 143,984 but the
others would be within 500 people.
Making no changes would keep District Three
the least-populated with 138,578 and District
One the most with 143,748.
The board will discuss the three preferred
maps at its Sept. 13 meeting and will adopt a plan
at either than meeting or the one on Sept. 27 in
advance of the Nov. 1 redistricting deadline.
Until the vote, comments can be submitted to
DistrictLines@co.sanmateo.ca.us. Information

able at www.co.sanmateo.ca.us.

needs while residents have long questioned the
need and visual effects. On Tuesday, the City
Council unanimously approved a 45-day mora-
torium on wireless communication devices
which also covers the previous applications.
The moratorium does allow for upgrades and
improvements on existing wireless communica-
tion devices.
Councilwoman Ann Keighran noted the
applications are not yet complete. Stalling now,
she said, wouldnt be like changing the rules in
the middle of the process. Supporting a retroac-
tive ban could create issues for the city.
City Attorney Gus Guinan, according to a
video of the meeting, told the council the appli-
cants could make a claim in federal court that
the moratorium caused an unreasonable
delay. Councilman Michael Brownrigg ques-
tioned if new rules were created, would those
apply to the current applications.
Guinan noted arguments could be made by
both sides but felt if the moratorium applied to
the applications, so should the new rules.
A moratorium allows the city time to look at
possible regulations. A study session on the
topic was scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Oct. 5 in the
librarys Lane Room.
State and federal laws do limit a citys ability
to deny telecommunication applications. Such
installations are put in the public right-of-way
rather than private land. Visual impacts are a
valid reason for denying a cell tower application
or requiring its modication, but the Federal
Telecommunications Act of 1996 does not
allow perceived health risks as a basis because
electromagnetic radiation is scientically
unproven.
In October, 27 applications were submitted to
the city on behalf of two companies, said
Assistant Public Works Director Art Morimoto.
Some will allow the companies to attach equip-
ment to existing utility poles while others will
require poles to be erected. Burlingame does
require the applicants to hold a public comment
period, which previously ended for both.
Companies are not responding to those com-
ments, Morimoto said previously.
Burlingame already started discussing a city-
wide ordinance providing regulations for all
wireless communications facilities that encour-
ages the latest technology and stealth facili-
ties; requires periodic reporting about legal
compliance, consolidation of facilities, infor-
mation regarding need and alternatives; and
includes mandatory notication and hearing
requirements for facilities within 600 feet of
residential areas. Additional rules will be set
through a zoning ordinance.
BAN
stipulated that he was not able to aid in his own
defense. Although the defense has the burden of
proof in this mental issue, McDougall appeared
ready to try the matter as many times as neces-
sary rather than letting Ayres be found compe-
tent by default.
District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe said after
the stipulation that another trial would cost tax-
payers money and not necessarily return a dif-
ferent outcome. Ayres placement ends a pro-
longed legal battle over the fate of the doctor
who was president of the American Academy of
Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and developed
a controversial sex education program for
teenagers called Time of Your Life.
In 2007, he was arrested and two years later
stood trial on nine varied counts of child
molestation and substantial sexual contact. That
jury hung in varying amounts on every count,
including some with as narrow a margin as 11
to 1, and prosecutors planned a retrial. Ayres
new defense attorney, Jonathan McDougall,
questioned his clients competency which put a
retrial on hold until he was found mentally t.
Two of three court-appointed doctors found
Ayres competent but McDougall requested a
jurys verdict.
During the competency trial, both the defense
and prosecution agreed he likely has some age
and Alzheimers-related dementia.
McDougall asked jurors how his client, who
cannot remember his childrens middle names
or the word for simple items like biscuit, could
possible help defend himself against felony
child molestation allegations by six former male
patients when they were aged 9 to 13. The
alleged abuse happened between 1988 and 1996
under the guise of medical exams.
McKowan countered that the dementia did
not impair Ayres beyond an ability to help pre-
pare a defense or understand the charges against
him.
Ayres remains free from custody on $750,000
bail pending his surrender to Napa State
Hospital.

egetable and ornamental gardens
are winding down this time of year.
Give them and yourself a lift by
planting edibles and owers that thrive
through the winter.
Before you
plant your bed,
mix in at least
an inch of com-
post to a depth
of between six
and 10 inches. It
boosts the soil.
Cool-Season
Vegetables
Arugula, chard, lettuce, spinach, beets and
peas can be planted as seeds or seedlings.
Carrots, radishes and onions should be
planted as seeds.
Brussels sprouts and broccoli should be
planted as seedlings. Get them into the gar-
den before fall begins.
Other seedlings ready to go into your win-
ter garden are cauliower, onions and
turnips.
Dont have a vegetable bed? You can grow
many cool-season veggies in pots as long
as they get between six and eight hours of
sun a day. Great choices are lettuce, spinach,
chard, beets, cauliower and kohlrabi
(Remember to use potting soil in pots, not
garden soil).

Spring may be the season of cleaning out
clutter and brightening up the home, but fall
can be equally inspiring.
You can feel it in the air: Bright yellow
school buses have returned to the roads and
store shelves are stocked with crisp, fresh
notebooks and pencils. Whether youre a stu-
dent or not, a new semester lled with possi-
bility is upon us.
That back-to-school energy motivates many
homeowners to freshen up their space. Interior
designer Betsy Burnham of Los Angeles
Burnham Design, says the phones at her ofce
ring frequently in the fall. The summer enter-
taining season is over and people are excited
about making fresh decorating decisions.
She and two other design experts offer
advice here on fast and easy end-of-summer
projects to spruce up a home for fall:
FIX SUMMER WEAR AND TEAR
Look around, says Burnham, especially in
rooms that have gotten a lot of indoor/outdoor
trafc this summer. Do door frames or walls
need touchup painting? Do oors need polish-
ing or carpets need cleaning?
After a busy summer, she says, right now
my kitchen table is out being renished. This
kind of refurbishing project is an expense that
some people prefer to skip. But Burnham says
it will bring a polished look to your home and
can keep quality pieces in great shape for
years, saving money on replacements.

Its Child Safety Month
Iceland poppies, nemesia, primroses and vio-
las. In bloom now and likely to last a month
or more longer are perennials such as begonia,
campanula and Japanese anemone; and annu-
als such as impatiens, lobelia and petunia. If
you spot some at the nursery that dont look
too spent and arent badly root-bound (where
the roots are tightly wound and packed into
their containers), bring them home and pot
them up for a shot of color by your front door
or on your patio table.
Start shopping for spring-blooming bulbs,
corn, tubers and rhizomes (Iris, lily-of-the-val-
ley, freesia, crocus, daffodil, tulip, and
hyacinth). When choosing bulbs such as tulip
and daffodil, look for large rm ones without
blemishes or soft spots. In our climate, crocus,
hyacinths and tulips do best if they are chilled
in the refrigerator for six to eight weeks, and
then planted (Chilling isnt necessary but it
makes the plants grow taller and bloom bet-
ter). Put them in paper bags and store them
away from fruit because ripening fruit gives
off ethylene gas, which can harm the develop-
ing ower buds. I store my bags of bulbs in
one of the vegetable bins.
This also is a good time to visit a nursery to
see trees that have fall color, such as crape
myrtle, owering plum, liquidambar and
ginko. If you see one you love, get it now,
because fall is the prime time for planting
trees and shrubs.

Watch out for late blight, especially on your
tomatoes! The UC Cooperative Extension, which
sponsors master gardener programs in California,
recently veried incidents of it in Salinas.Late blight
is an extremely contagious disease.If your plant has
it,you must pull and destroy the plant and dont
compost it. One lesion can produce hundreds of
thousands of spores that can y to the rest of your
garden,as well as your neighborsgardens.Signs to
look for include large, greenish-brown spots on
leaves;brown,often fuzzy,lesions on stems;patches
of white powdery spores and oily-looking brown
spots on fruits. You can see a photo of a diseased

If you go
many of us dont open the windows until

My favorite part about fall is turning off
the air conditioning and opening up the win-
dows, says Sabrina Soto, host of the new
series The High Low Project on HGTV. I
love to have the curtains blow in the cool
breeze and see the leaves starting to change
color.
Soto uses fall flowers to bring a burst
of color to her home. Mums are perfect
for hanging baskets and porches, she
says, and come in fabulous, bold colors.
I also like to add fresh flowers inside as
well; sunflowers are great for their bright
color and longevity. Maple branches also
add a dramatic touch.
CREATE A STUDY SPACE
Even if youre not a student right now, you
can create a space for reading or pursuing a
hobby. Any quiet alcove or area will do, says
designer Brian Patrick Flynn, founder and
editor of decordemon.com.
One option is converting the lower part of
a reach-in closet into a study space, he says.
Use a piece of lumber to create a deep shelf
at desk-level. Add a basket underneath to
keep study-related materials organized and
out of view. When its time to study or work,
just open the closet door and pull up a chair.
Soto suggests keeping light in mind: A
window seat can make a perfect reading
niche, she says.
If you dont have one, pull a large, comfy
chair up near a window with a small side
table that can hold your laptop or a book and
mug of hot coffee. If the table has a drawer,
you can keep necessary items on hand.
Otherwise, keep a decorative bin or basket
nearby.
The days are getting shorter, Soto says,
so you may need artificial light. Shes a fan
of lampshades in warm fall colors like gold
or scarlet.
THINK COLORS AND PATTERNS
When September begins, Flynn loves
bringing out plaid and argyle fabrics. It
feels collegiate, he says, and can work
especially well in childrens rooms.
Burnham suggests bringing in a dash of
classic fall colors such as gold, burnt orange
or muted brown. You can bring in just one or
two shades through accessories like pillows
and throws. Or go all out and paint with fall
colors.
Another idea: To make part of a room feel
truly study-worthy, Flynn suggests visiting a
flea market or used bookstore to buy vintage
books with beautiful typography. Carefully
remove the pages, then spray the back of
each page with adhesive. Press them firmly
onto the wall in a random pattern, with some
overlapping. You can seal the pages with
polyurethane or leave them uncovered.
It instantly gives a space meant for study-
ing or reading a custom-designed feel, he
says.
PREP FOR THE EVENTS
Beyond signaling the start of the school
year, fall also reminds us that the holidays
arent far away, says Soto. So get your din-
ing room ready for entertaining by polishing
your silverware and cleaning the fine china,
she says.
One last touch: To make things more
appealing for guests in the coming months,
create a more relaxed feel at the table by
adding pillows to dining chairs, she says.
Perfect for guests after a feast!
FALL
SUBURBAN LIVING/WORLD 19
By Lee Reich
Sweltering heat and bright sun-
light do not a tropical garden make,
even if many common garden
plants, from marigolds to okra, do
hail from the tropics.
That tropical look comes from
lush, bold foliage.
Cannas provide such foliage, but
get off to a slow start and need the
right storage conditions if the tubers
are to be carried through the winter.
Some northern gardeners create
instant tropicana by planting
banana trees outdoors each summer
and storing them through winter
indoors, chilled into a semi-sleep.
My vote for the best plant to
tropicalize a garden nook where
winters are real is castor bean. Its
easy to grow and easy to carry on
from year to year. And it grows
quickly.
Castor bean is an annual, but
dont think that means its only
going to grow a couple of feet tall
by the end of the season. If you
planted a castor bean seed last May,
by now youd have a shrub or small
tree 6, 7 or more feet high. The
plant practically leaps out of the
ground.
It does have an enormous thirst
and appetite, so needs a rich soil
and plenty of water.
That great thirst probably gave
rise to castor beans alleged ability
to keep moles and malaria at bay.
Both scourges thrive where there is
an abundance of moisture the
moles for the earthworms that
thrive in moist soils, and the malar-
ia from the resultant mosquitoes.
Castor bean plants can draw water
up and out of the soil. Some gar-
deners try to chase off moles by
dropping castor bean seeds into
mole tunnels, or by watering castor
oil into the ground.
LET THIS
ANNUAL GO TO SEED
Around now, castor bean plants
slow down as they channel some of
their energy into making flowers
and then seeds. Dont nip out those
flowers in an effort to get a plant to
grow even bigger, as you might
with some other annual grown for
its foliage. The castor beans indi-
vidual flowers are unimpressive,
but they are massed in fuzzy stalks
that complement the plants broad
swaths of shiny foliage.
Those leaves can grow quite
large, as much as 3 feet across.
Among the many varieties of castor
bean are ones with bronzy green
leaves and red stems, ones with
bright green leaves and white
veins, and ones with blood red
leaves and stems.
The one I planted this year has
dark red leaves and stems. Like any
worthy tropical plant, the large,
lush leaves of castor bean espe-
cially this dark red one seem to
cool things down even if you dont
actually sit in their shade.
THE DARKER SIDE
OF CASTOR BEAN
And now for the downside of
castor bean: no, not castor oil, that
foul-tasting fluid that was forced
down the throats of our grandpar-
ents when they were ill as children.
What is ominous is that every
part of the plant except for the oil is
extremely poisonous. Think twice
before planting castor bean if
young children are around. Alert
any visitor to your garden that the
plant is poisonous.
Castor beans: A touch of the tropics
Castor bean seeds are quite pretty. Large and shiny, they often have
interesting black and white or pink markings.
U.S. says no decision on
keeping troops in Iraq
BASRA, Iraq The Obama
administration favors keeping a
smaller military force in Iraq beyond
this year than U.S. commanders
believe is necessary, ofcials said
Wednesday, although even a rela-
tively tiny U.S. contingent may be
too big for White House advisers
who are worried about the slumping
U.S. economy and the presidents re-
election chances.
U.S. officials in Iraq and in
Washington said the matter is still
under discussion and no decisions
have been made.
Two U.S. ofcials said Wednesday
the administration is proposing a
residual military force of about
3,000 to continue training Iraqi secu-
rity forces after Dec. 31, the deadline
for all U.S. troops to leave under a
security agreement negotiated in
2008. The ofcials spoke on condi-
tion of anonymity to discuss internal
deliberations; one said the residual
force could be as big as 5,000.
Heavy gunfire in central,
north Syria; 11 killed
BEIRUT Syrian security forces
unleashed a barrage of gunfire
Wednesday, killing at least 11 people
and leaving thousands cowering in
their homes as President Bashar
Assads troops kept up the govern-
ments assault on a 6-month-old
uprising, activists and witnesses
said.
Nine of the dead were in Homs, a
hotbed of opposition to Assads
autocratic regime. Two others were
shot dead during raids in Sarameen,
in northern Syria.
In a step the opposition says shows
the regime is intractable, a planned
visit by the Arab League secretary
general Wednesday to push Assad to
make major concessions to defuse
the crisis was called off at the last
minute at the governments request.
Italy Senate OKs austerity
plan, government survives
ROME Italys Senate approved
Premier Silvio Berlusconis disputed
austerity package Wednesday, end-
ing weeks of uncertainty that roiled
nancial markets unsure that the
government was serious about cut-
ting its decit and avoiding becom-
ing Europes next debt crisis victim.
The upper chamber voted 165-141
with three abstentions to approve the
package, which the government put
to a confidence vote to ensure
Berlusconis allies united behind
him after weeks of bickering over
details of the plan.
The proposal now goes to the
lower Chamber of Deputies, where
Berlusconis allies also maintain a
majority.
Bombing outside court
kills 11 in Indias capital
NEW DELHI A powerful
bomb hidden in a briefcase ripped
through a crowd of people waiting to
enter a New Delhi courthouse
Wednesday, killing 11 people and
wounding scores more in the dead-
liest attack in Indias capital in near-
ly three years.
An al-Qaida-linked group claimed
responsibility, though government
ofcials said it was too early to name
a suspect. The attack outside the
High Court came despite a high alert
across the city and renewed doubts
about Indias ability to protect even
its most important institutions
despite overhauling security after the
2008 Mumbai siege.

lion annually, has since been folded
into the Department of Homeland
Security, which has a mission to protect
Americans on this nations soil.
Hopping on a plane these days takes
considerably longer now than it did 10
years ago and requires passengers to
take off their shoes and belts before
entering sophisticated body scanners
that can detect almost anything deemed
a potential danger.
At San Francisco International
Airport, Director of Community Affairs
Michael McCarron has seen all the
changes firsthand since that fateful day
when four passenger jetliners were
hijacked and thousands of Americans
were killed.
Eerily silent
On Sept. 1, 2001, McCarron was the
airports head of noise abatement as the
late Ron Wilson, SFOs former director
of community affairs, was on vacation.
After the planes collided with the
World Trade Center buildings and the
Pentagon, McCarron quickly became
the public face of the airport as Bay
Area news reporters looked to localize
the story.
As airports were closed across the
country, it quickly became clear that
planes would not be flying anywhere in
the United States for some time.
For the first couple of days it was
dead quiet. Only essential employees
were here and the parking lots were
empty, McCarron said. It was eerily
quiet.
Planes from around the world were
parked all over the airports 5,000
acres, he said.
The U.S. Marshals Service took over
security at the airport before National
Guard troops were brought in to moni-
tor it.
New regulations were put in almost
immediately but there was no specifica-
tion on who was subject to the new
rules, he said.
Carpenters and electricians were pre-
vented from doing their jobs for a while
after the attacks as utility knives and
other sharp objects were completely
banned from the airport.
At SFO, ridership hit record levels in
2000 when more than 41 million pas-
sengers boarded planes at the facility.
After the attacks, that number plum-
meted to 29 million passengers in 2002,
a 30 percent drop.
After Sept. 11, 2001, traffic was light
at the airport, McCarron said.
No one was flying, he said.
Even with fewer travelers, the screen-
ing process for passengers intensified
and slowed down considerably.
Little things such as the occasional
unattended briefcase or sack lunch sud-
denly became a big deal after Sept.
11, he said.
Barrels quickly filled up with banned
items no longer allowed on airplanes,
he said.
Drop in passengers
Some airlines, too, stopped service to
SFO altogether, including Alitalia,
Iceland Air and Swiss Air.
We dropped in passengers more than
any other airport, McCarron said.
After the attacks, the airport suffered
more as United Airlines went bankrupt;
a near pandemic of severe acute respi-
ratory syndrome swept across Asia; and
the implosion of the dot-com industry,
McCarron said.
Ridership has climbed since, howev-
er.
Last year, SFO had 39.5 million pas-
sengers, nearly matching its record year
of 2000.
We are slowly lurching our way
back up, McCarron said.
The San Francisco Airport
Commission now employs 1,400 peo-
ple and more than 20,000 people work
at the airport altogether, he said.
Beefed up security
The changes implemented immedi-
ately after the terrorist attacks were
made abruptly, he said.
It was the biggest rollout of a project
ever, he said.
The airport expanded its command
center to accommodate the TSA. Now,
agents screen passengers on the floor,
while others monitor the move of every
passenger in the airport through 1,400
cameras. Agents monitor the airports
four terminals, which spans more than
4 million square feet.
Prior to the attacks, only 3 percent of
checked bags were screened, McCarron
said. That number is now 100 percent.
One of the biggest changes McCarron
has seen in travel now compared to
before 9/11 is when a disruption occurs
on a flight.
Before, other passengers would typ-
ically keep their heads down if a dis-
ruption occurred on a flight. Now, pas-
sengers are willing to step up and com-
bat potential threats, he said.
He noted a May incident in which a
Yemeni man tried to storm the cockpit
of a San Francisco-bound American
Airlines flight. Larry Wright, a former
San Mateo police officer, and a few
other passengers quickly subdued the
man who was screaming Allahu
Akbar.
The phrase Allahu Akbar or God is
great is the same phrase an al-Qaida
terrorist who participated in the hijack-
ing of Flight 93 on Sept. 11, 2001, was
heard saying on a voice recorder as the
plane plummeted to a field in
Pennsylvania.
Today, all airports are a lot safer,
McCarron said.
There is better training, equipment
and coordination, he said.
But people who want to break the
system wont give up, he said.
There is no finish line in this race,
McCarron said.

SFO
No one allowed beyond gates
without a boarding pass.Before 9/11,
a passengers loved ones could wave
good-bye to them at the gate;
Shoes and belts must be removed
prior to security screening;
Big bottles of liquids no longer
allowed beyond security checkpoints;
Passports for travel to Canada,
Mexico and the Caribbean now
required for U.S. citizens; and
More paperwork and screening for
foreigners wishing to travel to the
United States.
Key changes
from anger and shock at so many
innocent lives lost to patriotism and
pride in the heroes who emerged on
hijacked planes and in the rubble of fall-
en skyscrapers and a shattered Pentagon.
Ten years later, we are a nation
changed moving on, but still
changed.
Lisa Schmidt, 48, of Vancouver,
Wash., thinks about Sept. 11 just about
every day and almost every time she
sees a plane.
The intensity of thinking about it, and
confronting the thought of it, still is very
uncomfortable and I didnt know anyone
who was killed or injured, said
Schmidt, owner of a marketing compa-
ny. It was a dening moment for how
Americans dene tragedy.
For some people, like Susan Garrison
of Carthage, Tenn., her fear of more
attacks keeps her away from airports.
I will not y, said the 54-year-old
Garrison, even with stepped-up security.
She said she hasnt set foot inside a
plane since Sept. 11. These people are
the types of people who would get jobs
in airports. If they want to kill people,
theyre going to do it.
Almost one-third, 32 percent, of those
polled said they are concerned about
becoming a victim of terrorism or hav-
ing a family member harmed in an
attack. Thats down slightly, though,
from 38 percent in 2004.
The poll also found Americans are less
angry about having to ght a war on ter-
rorism than they were a few months after
the attacks 57 percent say so now
compared with 67 percent then and
worries about how the war on terrorism
might affect daily life have faded since
the days after Sept 11.
In the AP-NORC poll, broad majori-
ties said Sept. 11 changed everything
from the policy and spending decisions
of our countrys leaders 94 percent
and 90 percent, respectively to the
unity of the American people. Eighty-
eight percent said it brought us together.
Soon after the attacks, the U.S. gov-
ernment was transformed with the cre-
ation of the Homeland Security
Department, the Transportation Security
Administration, the National
Counterterrorism Center and a slew of
other centers and government commit-
tees dedicated to keeping the country
safe.
Sept. 11 also changed the way we talk
to our children.
Conversations about stranger danger
or stop, drop and roll have now been
expanded to include delicate discussions
about people who dont like us and
why we have to take our shoes off in
those sometimes too-long airport securi-
ty lines.
Fifty-ve percent of the people polled
who have children 10 and under said
they have talked with their sons and
daughters about what happened on Sept.
11. For the other 45 percent, the subject
had not come up.
Rhonda Weaver, a 42-year-old
attorney from Brandywine, Md., said
she first talked about it with her 11-
year-old daughter a few years ago.
The child had come home from
school asking about the attacks and
why people would do that.
We just told her that there are some
people who dont like the way we live,
said Weaver. They see us as an enemy
and they did that as a way to kind of get
back at us and make us feel weak.
Weaver said she has not yet talked
about the attacks with her 8-year-old
son.
Ken Kreitner, 64, of St. Louis, was
among the 89 percent in the poll who
thought the attacks had an impact on the
economy.
We had to restructure just about
everything we do in this country today,
said Kreitner. Its cost us billions and
billions of dollars to set up safeguards
for travel in this country. That alone had
a major impact on our economy.
For Kreitner, a Vietnam veteran, Sept.
11 was a day that changed the country.
Its the rst time in the history of our
country that an act of terrorism of this
magnitude ever took place. People nal-
ly got mad and they wanted something
done about it, he said. Anyone with
any sense at all realized our country
would never be the same again and that
we were not only going to pay with lives
the way we did, but we were going to be
paying for it probably for the rest of our
lives.
The cost of the wars in Afghanistan
and Iraq stand at a staggering $1 trillion,
according to the Pentagon. That gure
includes domestic defenses such as sur-
veillance of U.S. airspace.
The AP-NORC poll was conducted
from July 28-Aug. 15 by NORC at the
University of Chicago. It involved land-
line and cellphone interviews with 1,087
adults. The margin of sampling error is
plus or minus 4.1 percentage points.
IMPACT
THURSDAY, SEPT. 8, 2011
You could be luckier expanding your present under-
takings than you might be starting something new
in the next year. Dont avoid innovation entirely, but
focus on developing what you already have going.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You need to depend
solely on yourself if you want to be an achiever. The
types of helpers you expect to get arent likely to be
there for you when youll need them.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Being humble is of
course a noble virtue, but dont confuse being
condescending with humility. It doesnt become you
to act weak, nor will it get you anywhere. Be nice, but
be strong.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Be careful not to be
lured into situations where you need an army to back
you up. The ranks following your banner might not be
as large as they usually are, and could be unable to
defend you.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- When important
issues are at stake, it will be necessary to state your
position as succinctly as possible. If you get too
wordy, what you say could be misinterpreted.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Anything that
requires money up front should be frst checked out
very carefully. Even if the ante being asked is only
nominal, remember, its just the opener.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- You should take extra
care to protect your interests when getting involved
in a partnership situation. You could end up being the
only giver, with your cohort being the only receiver.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Instead of sweeping
both large and small mistakes under the rug, keep
your gaffes in plain sight. That way, if any start to turn
into something larger, you can get on it immediately.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Although you like to
have your own way, youre usually willing to go
along with the majority. However, if you think theyre
wrong, you need to stand frm.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Dont permit relatives to
have greater infuence over your personal affairs than
they should. If you think theyre out of line and/or
wrong, let them know that you are your own person.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Usually youre not a
gullible person, yet if the news is juicy and exciting,
it makes life fun, and you might not be able to help
taking everything you hear as gospel.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- There are few signs
more prudent than the crab, yet your extravagant
urges could take precedence and compel you to
recklessly spend your money on foolish things. Get
hold of yourself.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Your judgment might not be
at its best, and could put you in a position of acting
as an antagonist instead of being the accepting ally
you usually are. Get back in character.
