Auction house sued for ADA violations

Handicapped upgrades under way at South San Francisco business
By Michelle Durand
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
A top executive at a South San Francisco auction company being sued by a wheelchairbound man over its lack of handicapped accessibility said he is surprised by the legal action because the necessary upgrades are in the works. Im completely shocked. I didnt even
know this was happening, said Michael Faulknor, the chief nancial ofcer of Forrest Faulknor & Sons. The company, its parent Forrest Faulknor Enterprises Inc. and afliated 123Auction, LLC is being sued by Ronald Collins who claims he was denied equal access to the Sylvester Road business and its bathroom facilities. The suit, led Aug. 23 in San Mateo County
Superior Court, claims Collins civil rights were violated and he was embarrassed and humiliated in April and on June 6, 2011 when he could not access the business. Collins attorney, Irene Karbelashvili, did not return a call for comment. Prior to ling suit, Collins sent the business letters on May 6 expressing his concerns, according to both the court document and Faulknor. Faulknor said he responded with a
letter explaining the plans to make the building compliant and thought that was the end of the matter until being informed yesterday that Collins led suit. The suit states Collins sent Faulknor another letter June 3 asking that Faulknor obtain a certication and inform him within 45 days. The Faulknor business is currently in the midst of plan checks for voluntary improve-

Strange but True

Cops put squeeze on alleged python biter
SACRAMENTO A snake bite in a north Sacramento neighborhood left the victim seriously hurt, but the injured party isnt whom youd expect. Police say a python underwent emergency surgery after a man allegedly bit the creature twice. Officers were called to Del Paso Heights around 6:30 p.m. Thursday after a passer-by reported that a man was lying on the ground and may have been assaulted, according to Sgt. Andrew Pettit. When they arrived, they found David Senk, 54, still lying there but police say he wasnt the one who was assaulted. Another man approached ofcers and accused Senk of taking two bites out of his 3-foot pet python, Pettit said. Senk was arrested on suspicion of unlawfully maiming or mutilating a reptile and booked on $10,000 bail. In a jailhouse interview with KXTLTV on Friday, Senk said he had no memory of the incident and that he has a drinking problem. I did what? Senk said. If you nd the owner, tell him Im real sorry. ... Im willing to help pay for medical expenses. The snake was turned over to the citys Animal Care Services, where it was recovering Friday after losing several ribs. The female python, about a couple years old, had extensive bite injuries, said Gina Knepp, acting animal care services manager. You could see the poor snakes liver, all the way down the side, Knepp said. The snakes owner has not yet come forward to claim the pet or le a report with animal care ofcials, Knepp said. I was almost throwing up at that time, she said. I was running and talking on the phone at that time. Matt Deats climbed down a canal ladder, his body half submerged in the water, and reached out to grab one of the dogs. He barely touched a collar as it passed by. Fawn, a Labrador mix, seemed to be keeping her head above water. Nia, an Australian shepherd mix, was struggling, Matt Deats said. I was trying to gure out a safe way to try and jump in and grab them myself, he said. You feel hopeless you dont know what to do, how to handle it. Villanueva was putting agricultural chemicals into a bin when he heard a noise and saw a deputy. He thought he heard someone say two cars were in the canal. I thought, two cars? the 54-year-old farm laborer said through an interpreter. He took a closer look after seeing a woman running frantically, and learned that her two dogs were in the water. After watching the deputy struggle to rope the dogs, he took the lasso and said: Let me see. Seconds later, he lassoed each dog in rapid succession, pulling them to safety. I was amazed, Noya Deats said. He just kind of came out of nowhere. It was amazing how fast he lassoed them. Villanueva was equally amazed. He said he learned to lasso in Jalisco, Mexico, where he worked on a cattle ranch, but it had been 30 years since he had roped anything.

Former cowboy lassos dogs in canal

MOXEE, Wash. A farmworker who says he learned how to lasso 30 years ago while working on a cattle ranch in Mexico still knows his ropes. Jesus Villanueva was working Wednesday when he heard a disturbance along the Roza irrigation canal. A woman and her husband were trying to save their two dogs being swept away in the current. The dogs couldnt climb up the steep concrete sides of the canal. A Yakima sheriffs deputy had a rope but was having no luck. It took Villanueva just one lasso for each dog to bring them ashore. Noya Deats had run nearly three miles along the canal, trying to save her dogs while calling her husband and the sheriffs ofce for help, The Yakima HeraldRepublic reported. Despite signs warning folks to stay out of the canal, Deats said she has let her dogs, Fawn and Nia, off their leash before without any problems. But when they decided to take a swim they were swept away. Deats had run about two miles when her husband Matt arrived.

Man possibly in disguise robs bank, flees with cash
A bank was robbed late Thursday morning in South San Francisco when a man gave a teller a note demanding money and said he had a gun, according to police.

Long lines as people attend Oakland marijuana street fair

Victim identified in laboratory explosion
The man killed in an explosion in a Menlo Park laboratory has been identied as 56-yearold Adrian Martin of San Jose, the San Mateo County Coroners Ofce said. Martin, a scientist at Membrane Technology and Research Inc. at 1360 Willow Road was preparing a pre-gas mixture involving methane, helium and nitrogen when the 4:07 p.m. explosion occurred, according to Menlo Park Fire Chief Harole Schapelhouman. A woman standing near the door of the lab was thrown clear and survived with only some damage to her eardrum. Martin was seriously injured. He was recovered from the lab, but then he suffered cardiac arrest and died at the scene, Schapelhouman said. Schapelhouman said that re ofcials found a leaking methane cylinder in the lab, although it was not clear if the cylinder was leaking before the explosion or if it was caused by the blast. More than 20 employees were evacuated from the business, and a hazardous materials team responded to ensure that the area was safe.
OAKLAND A marijuana street fair being held in downtown Oakland turned out to be a popular destination this weekend, with people waiting in long lines to attend the event. The two-day International Cannabis and Hemp Expo was being held Saturday and Sunday over several blocks in the citys downtown, directly outside Oakland City Hall. Besides vendors, speakers, music and other offerings, organizers say the event also includes a designated area in front of City Hall where those with a valid medical cannabis card will be able to smoke marijuana, organizers said. Organizers were calling the designated area the 215 area, a reference to Proposition 215, the 1996 state ballot meas-
ure that legalized medical marijuana use in California. Patients need to take their medicine when they need to, Kim Cue, a Berkeley resident who is chief executive of the International Cannabis & Hemp Expo, told the San Francisco Chronicle. Being a patient myself, thats something thats mandatory. Oakland is known for its marijuana-related businesses, including a section of city nearby known as Oaksterdam, so-named because of its abundance of marijuana dispensaries. City voters in 2004 also voted in favor of Measure Z, a measure that made possession of small amounts of marijuana the lowest priority for police. Still, even with Oaklands stance toward medicinal marijuana use, city officials didnt want the media taking photographs or shooting video of people smoking marijuana outside of City Hall.

Unique businesses keep Santa Cruz Avenue alive

By Richard Duboc
DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT
With the slow economy, traditional businesses are scrambling to do anything in their power to not only make a prot but simply keep the lights on and doors open. Menlo Parks Santa Cruz Avenue is home to traditional mainstays such as Menlo Hardware, now Menlo Ace Hardware and Annes Coffee Shop but is seeing a rise in unique shops that seek a piece of the citys spending power that at times seems impervious to a down economy. The Menlo Gift Bazaar was known as Menlo Florist until ve years ago when Allan Aldrich decided to transfer ownership of the store over to his wife due to health reasons. Leslie Aldrich cites her love of belly dancing as the inspiration behind the revamped gift shop and admits it may be seen as a little quirky. But economic reasons also forced the two to search for a different business model. The daily stress of dealing with suppliers, long hours and hiring employees coupled with trying to compete with the Internet and larger chain stores made it exceedingly difcult for the Aldriches to stay aoat selling owers. The new layout allows the store to be reduced to just literally mom and pop and makes a whole lot more sense to the couple who dont know how any independent business owners will be able to survive in the digital age. The Aldriches point to the year 2000 as when business began to take a turn for the worse. Since sales tax revenue in Menlo Park reached a high of $12.3 million during the
KORE CHAN/DAILY JOURNAL
Bruce Good,owner and proprietor of The Oriental Carpet on Santa Cruz Avenue,said it is more important for downtown Menlo Park to be seen as up-and-coming than upscale.
2000-01 scal year, it has since then steadily declined. According to a staff report released by the city in March, that number dipped to $5.5 million last year. Less sales tax revenue means less business revenue. There is hope stores like the gift bazaar can sustain a small but steady niche market driven by customers who feel they cant get the services anywhere else as long as overhead is kept low. Giovanna Bafco of Menlo Park dropped by the bazaar with her friend to peruse the eccentric trinkets and wares citing an interest in dance as her reason for stopping by. They like to be in exclusive small shops, said Marika Karam, a sales associate at the Yves Delorme which sells high-end French linens, of her stores repeat customers. People love to come downtown and nd something different then any other place. Karam believes that having other stores on Santa Cruz Avenue which cater to price
selective shoppers is good for business and will make the strip known throughout the Bay Area for what she describes as little cute shops. For Bruce Good, owner and proprietor of The Oriental Carpet on Santa Cruz Avenue, it is more important for downtown Menlo Park to be seen as up-and-coming than upscale. He bemoans the dropoff of foot trafc which comes every evening at dusk when the area becomes dead and believes many younger residents of the city feel more comfortable spending their time and money somewhere else. Good said his attempts to convince his friend who owns Sundance Steakhouse in Palo Alto to expand into downtown Menlo Park have been impeded by what he sees as the areas somewhat stuffy reputation. But there are reasons for optimism. Although empty storefronts have become an eyesore to some, Mike Costa, whose retail brokerage firm Terranomics represents a number of properties along Santa Cruz Avenue, conrms that more and more business are starting to move in. Sales have been slow, but theyre on the rise said Costa eluding to an unnamed restaurant which will soon move into Santa Cruz Avenue and cater to a more carnivorous diner. However, business owners such as the Aldriches continue to question if there is a light at the end of the tunnel, citing both neighboring property owners who would rather keep their storefronts vacant then change the character of Santa Cruz Avenue and the rise of Internet sales. The more stores that are closed, the less people come, said Leslie Aldrich.

Earthquake prediction still stymies scientists

By Alicia Chang
Making a name in business early

Senior year is a challenging one for high school students but 16year-old Meredith Charlson has an additional responsibility on her plate running a business. Started when she was 14, City Servers provides food servers for Bay Area events. Years into it, the Aragon High School student has gured out what to say to clients and what information shell need to get the job done well. But not having a drivers license can be a challenge. The San Mateo teen relies on her mom for rides to events. Once, when her mom was out of town, that became an issue. We were doing an event in Mountain View actually. My servers, most of them go to Aragon and live in San Mateo. We had no way of getting anyone there. I didnt feel comfortable asking [the servers] parents for a ride. I had to hire a driver for the night ... so we could work the event, she said. Its just one challenge of being a business owner. Charlsons hard work hasnt gone unnoticed. Recently, she was recognized by the Guardian Life Insurance Company of America with its 2011 Girls Going Places Entrepreneurship Award Program, a national competition that recognizes teen girls, 12 to 18, who demonstrate exceptional entrepreneurship and community s e r v i c e . Charlson, the top winner, will receive $10,000 along with the title. The idea for the company, which provides setup, service Meredith and cleanup for Charlson events, came from Charlsons older sister Doria. Doria Charlson had a catering company with her two friends aptly called Three Friends Catering. Charlson was often hired as a food server for events. As the economy went down, requests for service changed. Clients wanted people to do setup, cleanup and serving but not to prepare the food. Doria Charlson didnt want to be associated with food she didnt prepare. Her little sister, on the other hand, saw it as a chance to build her own business. At 14, the younger Charlson got a license in food safety management from the state and started working Friday night events at her synagogue. The constant contact allowed Charlson to build her clientele. She hired friends, as needed, for events and took on training them as well. Communication was the most challenging part for Charlson at the start. She would write out emails or phone conversations in advance to be prepared. Often Charlsons mom,
LOS ANGELES The East Coast earthquake left more than just residents unaccustomed to feeling the ground shake and sway in a daze. It also surprised some scientists who spend their careers trying to untangle the mysteries of sudden ground shifts. Despite decades of research, earthquake prediction remains elusive. As much as society would like scientists to tell us when a jolt is coming, mainstream seismologists are generally pessimistic about ever having that ability.
They lived through the checkered history of earthquake prediction, lled with passioned debates, failed oracles and the enduring search for warning signs that may portend a powerful quake. The Earth so far has refused to give up its secrets. In recent years, however, a more hopeful camp has emerged, pushed by researchers using satellites who say it may be possible to someday predict earthquakes from space and others who think they can tease out signals in rocks. The two schools of thought swapped notes during a two-day meeting in Los Angeles weeks before a relatively mild magnitude-5.8 rattled the Eastern Seaboard.
Lee drenches Gulf Coast, could cause inland floods

By Jay Reeves
SAUCIER, Miss. Tropical Storm Lee dumped more than a foot of rain in New Orleans and spun off tornadoes elsewhere Sunday as its center came ashore in a slow crawl north that raised fears of inland ash flooding in the Deep South and beyond. Areas of Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi near the coast reported
scattered wind damage and ooding, but evacuations appeared to be in the hundreds rather than the thousands and New Orleans levees were doing their job just over six years after Hurricane Katrina swamped the city. National Hurricane Center specialist Robbie Berg said Lees ash ood threat could be more severe as the rain moves from the atter Gulf region into the rugged Appalachians.

Even Trusted Publications Can Get the Facts Wrong

By Paul Larson
MILLBRAE Always take what you read with a grain of salt! It amazes me that so many articles I see being published in various magazines, tabloids, journals, etc. are implied to be factual and researched but in reality end up being riddled with partial truths, inaccuracies and falsehoods! I always like information that is backed up by provable facts, but am leery of articles that are hastily written and not checked out. Many people assume that all their reading material has been pre-verified by an editor. Accepting these erroneous types of writings as the gospel truth causes confusion among the public and can be potentially harmful! One serious example is the daily flooding of email stories that are passed from reader to reader (weve all received them) and taken by many recipients as factual writings. The majority of these emails, such as perceived parents searching for their missing child; hearsay about the Presidents status as an American citizen; rumors on the latest medical scare or remedy; handy household uses for cola; Bill Gates sharing his fortune with you if you forward that email to 10 friends; in addition to countless other stories are all found to be internet myths or hoaxes. TIP: You can easily check out the validity of every email story you receive by going to www.snopes.com and typing in the subject of any questionable email in the search box. In another example, I was recently given an article to review from Readers Digest called 13 Things the Funeral Director Wont Tell You as part of their series featuring different professions. Being an actual Funeral Director, and knowing the facts, I couldnt believe the inexplicable info I was reading in a supposedly reputable magazine such as Readers Digest. It was obvious to me that the author of the article and the editor of the magazine not only didnt check their alleged facts, but some of the items listed were misleading, incomplete assertions or just plain folklore! Anyone reading this would just assume that all was checked out in advance with experts and professionals before being printedbut in this case it was a listing of partial truths or unexplained hearsay. Since this article appeared (in the June/July 2011 issue) the National Funeral Directors Association among other groups have chastised Readers Digest for their inept reporting. This circumstance makes it difficult for me to fully have faith in Readers Digest and reminds me that fallacies that can show up in otherwise trusted publications. Another situation similar to the above appeared a while back in AARP magazine. I always viewed this publication as having a stellar reputation until I read an article about funeral rip-offs that was also filled with inaccurate statements. In that case AARP was not checking their facts either. The point is that some authors may have part of their facts correct or incorrectbut until you verify your reading material with a professional you should take what you read with some good humor and a grain of salt. If you ever wish to discuss cremation, funeral matters or want to make preplanning arrangements please feel free to call me and my staff at the CHAPEL OF THE HIGHLANDS in Millbrae at (650) 588-5116 and we will be happy to guide you in a fair and helpful manner.

Labor unions adjust to new reality under Obama

By Sam Hananel
WASHINGTON In the early days of the Obama administration, organized labor had grand visions of pushing through a sweeping agenda that would help boost sagging membership and help revive union strength. Now labor faces this reality: Public employee unions are in a drawn-out fight for their very survival in Wisconsin, Ohio and other states where GOP lawmakers have curbed collective bargaining rights. Also, many union leaders are grousing that the president they worked so hard to elect has not focused enough on job creation and other bold plans to get their members back to work. Obama campaigned big, but hes governing small, said Larry Hanley, president of the Amalgamated Transit Union. Labor remains a core Democratic constituency and union leaders will stand with Obama in Detroit this Labor Day, where he will address thousands of rank-and-file members during the citys annual parade Monday. But at the same time, unions have begun shifting money and resources out of Democratic congressional campaigns and back to the states in a furi-

ous effort to reverse or limit GOP measures that could wipe out union rolls. The AFL-CIOs president, Richard Trumka, says its part of a new strategy for labor to build an independent voice separate from the Democratic Party. Union donations to federal candidates at the beginning of this year were down about 40 percent compared with the same period in 2009, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. Last month, a dozen trade unions said they would boycott next years Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, N.C., over frustration on the economy and to protest the events location in a right-to-work state. The pendulum has swung a long way, said Ross Eisenbrey, a vice president of the liberal Economic Policy Institute. In the next year, I think all unions can really hope for is to keep more bad things from happening and to get as much of a jobs program enacted as possible.
Unions fell short last month in their recall campaign to wrest control of the Wisconsin Senate from Republicans. That fight was a consequence of Gov. Scott Walkers proposal to eliminate collective bargaining rights for publicemployee unions as a part of a costcutting effort. Now they are spending millions more in Ohio, where they hope to pass a statewide referendum in November that would repeal a similar measure limiting union rights. Its a far cry from the early optimism unions had after Obama came into office. Back then, unions hoped a Democratic-controlled Congress would pass legislation to make it easier for unions to organize workers. But business groups fought that proposal hard, and it never came to a vote. Union leaders grew more disappointed when the presidents health care overhaul didnt include a governmentrun insurance option. Then Obama agreed to extend President George W. Bushs tax cuts for the wealthy.

Tough economic climate as Obama seeks second term

Tea party bulling its way into 2012 GOP race

By Steve Peoples and MIchael R. Blood
BERLIN, N.H. Bulling its way into 2012, the tea party is shaping the race for the GOP presidential nomination as candidates parrot the movements language and promote its agenda while jostling to win its favor. Thats much to the delight of Democrats who are working to paint the tea party and the eventual Republican nominee as extreme. The tea party isnt a diversion from mainstream Republican thought. It is within mainstream Republican thought, Mitt Romney told a New Hampshire newspaper recently, defending the activists hes done little to woo, until now. The former Massachusetts governor is
starting to court them more aggressively as polls suggest hes being hurt by weak support within the movement, whose members generally favor rivals such as Texas Gov. Rick Perry and Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann. Romneys shift is the latest evidence of the big imprint the tea party is leaving on the race. Such overtures come with risks, given that more Americans are cooling to the tea partys unyielding tactics and barebones vision of the federal government. After Washingtons debt showdown this summer, an Associated Press-GfK poll found that 46 percent of adults had an unfavorable view of the tea party, compared with 36 percent just after last Novembers election. It could give President Barack Obama and his Democrats an opening should the
Republican nominee be closely aligned with the tea party. Yet even as the public begins to sour on the movement, Romney and other GOP candidates are shrugging off past tea party disagreements to avoid upsetting activists. That includes Perry, who faced a tea party challenger in his most recent election for governor and who has irked some tea partyers so much that they are openly trying to undercut his candidacy. Instead of ghting back, Perry often praises the tea party. In his book Fed Up! Perry wrote: We are seeing an energetic and important push by the American people led in part by the tea party movement to give the boot to the old-guard Washington establishment who no longer represent us. lar is coming from has chilled the municipal bond market, meaning cities and states will be breaking ground on fewer public works projects, canceling or delaying projects worth tens of billions of dollars and providing yet another blow to economic-recovery efforts. Through mid-August, the total value of municipal bonds issued nationwide was down about 40 percent over the same period a year ago, the largest decline in about two decades. The means fewer bonds issued for water and sewer systems, education, transportation, health care, electric utilities and general government purposes.
California rep. wants shared sacrifice in debt talks

WASHINGTON Shortly before his appointment to the commission charged with tackling the national debt, Democratic Rep. Xavier Becerra held a conference call with a few hundred constituents in Los Angeles and asked them to recommend a roadmap to cutting the debt. Entitlement programs such as Social Security and Medicare barely got a vote, and defense cuts werent too popular. The runaway winner was an end to the tax cuts enacted under President George W. Bush.
Around the nation

The result helps explain why Becerra might best be described as the anti-tea party member of the 12-member debt panel. Where some see government encroachment, Becerra sees services that are vital to the well-being of his constituents.
WASHINGTON President Barack Obama faces a long re-election campaign having all but given up on the economy rebounding in any meaningful way before November 2012. His own budget ofce predicts unemployment will stay at about 9 percent, a frightening number for any president seeking a second term. Obamas prospects arent entirely grim, however. The GOP, heavily inuenced by the tea party, may nominate someone so deeply awed or right-leaning that, Democrats hope, Obama can persuade Americans to give him a second chance rather than risk the alternative. Democrats say the man who ran on hope and change in 2008 will have to claw his way toward a second term with a sharply negative campaign. The strengths and weaknesses of his prospects seem clear. Next years unemployment rate is likely to be the highest in a presidential election since 1940. But the leading Republican contenders have denigrated Social Security, switched positions on critical issues and done other things that might make them ripe targets for Obamas well-funded campaign. Democratic strategist Doug Hattaway says GOP candidates, including Texas Gov. Rick Perry and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, may turn off independent voters with their embrace of tea party stands on taxes, spending and program cuts. Obama should lump them all together and make them answer for their slash-and-burn politics, said Hattaway, a former top aide to Hillary Rodham Clinton, Obamas rival for the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination.

Typhoon dumps record amount of rain killing 20

By Yuri Kageyama
REUTERS
Policemen and residents run as waves from a tidal bore surge past a barrier on the banks of Qiantang River in Haining,Zhejiang province,China.
TOKYO Typhoon Talas dumped record amounts of rain Sunday in western and central Japan, killing at least 20 people and stranding thousands more as it turned towns into lakes, washed away cars and triggered mudslides that obliterated houses. At least 50 people were missing, local media reported. Evacuation orders and advisories were issued to 460,000 people in the region, which is hundreds of miles (kilometers) from the countrys tsunami-ravaged northeastern coast. At least 3,600 people were stranded by ooded rivers, landslides and collapsed bridges that were hampering rescue efforts, Kyodo News agency reported. Public broadcaster NHK showed a bridge swept away after intense rain caused a river to swell with brown torrents. People holding umbrellas waded through knee-deep water in city streets and residential areas. The typhoon dumped record amounts of rain in some areas, and more was expected. It was the countrys worst storm since one in 2004 that left 98 people either dead or missing, the Yomiuri newspaper said. By Sunday, Talas had been downgraded to a tropical storm.
Ten people were killed and 32 were missing in Wakayama prefecture alone, police said. One landslide there buried three homes; a woman was killed and four people were missing, but a 14-year-old girl was rescued from the debris. In nearby Nara prefecture, seven people were reported missing after their homes were swept down a river, NHK said. A 73-year-old man died in Nara when his house collapsed in a landslide, police said. The storm damaged Nijojo castle in the ancient city of Kyoto, tearing a large piece of plaster from the gate wall. The castle, a popular tourist destination, is designated an important cultural treasure. The center of the seasons 12th typhoon crossed the southern island of Shikoku and the central part of the main island of Honshu overnight Saturday. It was moving slowly north across the Sea of Japan off the countrys west coast, the Japan Meteorological Agency said. Because of the storms slow speed, the agency warned that heavy rains and strong winds were likely to continue. With the ground already soaked, fears of additional mudslides were growing, and the agency issued landslide warnings in nearly all of the countrys prefectures.
Lone wolf terror seen as biggest threat to U.S.

By David Rising
HAMBURG, Germany After 9/11, it was the men who went to radicalized mosques or terror boot camps who were seen as the biggest terror threat. Today, that pictures changed: Authorities are increasingly focusing on the lone wolf living next door, radicalized on the Internet and plotting strikes in a vacuum. The March fatal shooting of two American
airmen in Frankfurt by a Kosovo Albanian. The bomb plot on Fort Hood, Texas, soldiers possibly inspired by the 2009 shooting rampage on the Texas Army post. The foiled attack on Fort Dix, New Jersey, by a tiny cell of homegrown terrorists. These Islamic terror plots share something in common with Anders Behring Breivik, the Norway killer who hated Muslims. They are the work of extremists who are confoundingly difcult to track because they hardly leave a trace.
In todays transformed security landscape, authorities and experts say, the 9/11 plotters would surely have been caught. Its widely believed that these days theres no way a cell involving 19 hijackers and an extensive support network could have plotted attacks in a Hamburg mosque, trained in terrorist camps in Afghanistan, and took ight lessons in the United States without being picked up by countertenor operations. And President Barack Obama said in a CNN interview on Aug. 16 that a lone wolf
terror attack in the U.S. is more likely than a major coordinated effort like the Sept. 11 attacks. Western authorities have inltrated major jihadist groups, planting moles, eavesdropping on chatter, keeping tabs on radical mosques, and carrying out regular terror sweeps. Some say the tough measures have eroded civil liberties. But lone wolves or small homegrown cells that blend into the general population present a more slippery challenge.
Strauss-Kahn returns to France,not politics

PARIS The last time he boarded a ight for Paris, Dominique Strauss-Kahn was on the verge of announcing his candidacy for president, and in some quarters his victory was considered certain. Four months after being dragged off that plane in New York to answer accusations that he attempted to rape a hotel chambermaid, the former IMF chief arrived in Paris on Sunday to a gaggle of reporters that would be the envy
of any politician on the campaign trail. But a poll and analysts indicate that his politicking days are over. At least, for now. Strauss-Kahn touched down Sunday just over a week after New York prosecutors dropped the charges including attempted rape, sex abuse and unlawful imprisonment because of concerns about the maids credibility. He was met with a mixed welcome. Friends and allies in the Socialist Party expressed relief that he was home a free man, and a supporter serenaded him with a bit of Verdi.

High-speed rail not worth it
Editor, It is absolutely no surprise that blended high-speed rail appeals to our local politicians (Blended rail gets boost in the Aug. 30 edition of the Daily Journal). Something called the Peer Review Group offers full support behind blended high-speed rail so they can take advantage of Obamas failed American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. Now Gov. Moonbeam and some other progressives are plotting to transfer funds from our budget to a train that will never pay for itself. I suppose that our local politicians all agree that we should pay all these billions here and billions there so they can ll their coffers. I used to think that Sen. Joe Simitian, D-Palo Alto, was half sane, but now after his statement that this Peer Review Group should be trusted because of their expertise and experience, I suppose he too has had his pocket lined. Too bad our politicians are both blind and deaf to what their constituents really want. Oh well, progressives never tire of spending other peoples money.
Consolidate our countys 24 school districts

Editor, It is time to consolidate our countys 24 school districts encompassing 66 schools just as we have selectively consolidated some police and re services. The county superintendent will oversee the district superintendents; principals will be the caretakers of their respective schools under a new reduced district superintendent model. The county superintendent will oversee a superintendents round table to assist district superintendents, provide special needs and support by bundling nancial services and continue supervising court and community schools, Regional Occupational Program and special education for the more severely affected students as they do now. Bundling tax measures for building schools and uniformity of salaries up and down the various classication should be negotiated by the County Ofce of Education and arbitrate for all districts. Unions will have to negotiate uniform collective bargaining issues including a uniform pay schedule all teachers in the county get paid the same according to education and experience with the COE, streamlining all disciplinary action, no strike clause during the school year. However, unions have to announce a pending strike at the start of the rst two weeks of the summer hiatus, tenure should be on the table for reform. If the strike continues into the opening session, no work, no salary or wages until work is resumed. If the dispute continues in disciplinary matters and are not settled within 60 days, salaries are placed in escrow and released to the employee or returned to the COE based upon the outcome. Union dues must be collected by the union and not by the payroll entity. Right to work for all employees is a right; secret ballot must be preserved as it is respective of ones personal belief. Despite the turf wars and the onslaught of bickering, the time has come to accelerate regionalism within the county.
have now doubled to around $65 billion. Projected ridership of 117 million passengers per year, has now fallen to around 40 million; It may go much lower. The price of a ticket expected to be $55 dollars, has now inated to $105. Just equate these sales pitches used by authority board members to the same level as Bernie Madoff used for his $50 billion Ponzi scheme. The only difference is really that right now Madoff lives in prison, but previous and present board members continue to pitch this scheme. Gov. Jerry Brown and the Legislature could stop this right now, but they simply refuse to listen.

Even genocides are different

Editor, Patrick Field ends his letter Never-ending Holocaust published in the Sept. 1 edition of the Daily Journal, with a message: If crimes against humanity are to occur, let each case be heard equally. I have a message for him too: Go to Europe and visit any of the concentration camps of World War II. Maybe then youll realize that the barbarity and scope of the Nazis genocide pales in comparison with genocides committed against other peoples. Paraphrasing George Orwell, one can say, All genocides are equal, but some are more equal than others.

Lack of confidence in the government

Editor, With the Washington Times reporting historic, more than 80 percent mistrust and lack of condence of government (April 19, 2010), with President Obamas failure to honor his campaign promises to end the misguided and open-ended Mideast wars, with the scandals of bailed-out banks giving huge bonuses to their executives, with tax breaks for the immensely rich and cutbacks to the working poor and with the ofcial cover-up of soldier-patriot Pat Tillmans death, its not surprising that a concerned and questioning citizen, like Pat Gray of Burlingame, (What happened on 9/11? letter to the editor in the Aug. 27 edition of the Daily Journal) would challenge the ofcial report on the tragic terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center. The majority of New Yorkers, and millions around the world, agree with her, at least in part, that some ofcials in the Bush administration knew in advance of the terrorist attacks, and deliberately failed to defend America. The full story will eventually be told.

Holocaust
Editor, Patrick Field, whose letter was published in the Sept. 1 edition of the Daily Journal, and other individuals need to be reminded about the Holocaust so that it will never happen again. Of course, all crimes against humanity should be heard about and condemned. The Nazi Holocaust was organized by the government of Germany, a longestablished European country. The Nazis systematically murdered nearly all the Jews of Europe and Ukraine. Maybe if Mr. Fields relatives had been murdered in the Holocaust, as mine were, he would better understand.

or those of us who do the work, this has been a punishing year. But unethical corporate behavior the root cause of our economic meltdown goes unpunished. In San Mateo County, 130 jobs have fallen to the corporate greed of Diageo the worlds largest and most protable liquor conglomerate who wants to pay lower wages and fewer benets; VWR is reaping huge nancial rewards for moving almost 200 jobs out of San Mateo County at taxpayer expense; PG&E is poised to dump 90 percent of the costs of the San Bruno re Rayna Lehman on ratepayers; and For every dollar earned by workers, corporate CEOs continue to earn $263. On Labor Day and every day workers want to work, earn a decent wage, have access to health care and a safe workplace. We do not want to be on unemployment for 99 Shelley Kessler weeks, we do not want to beg for unemployment extensions we want to work. There are 33,000 unemployed people in San Mateo County. We are willing to upgrade our skills but we are unable to stop the rampant offshoring of our jobs. We do not accept that the pensions that will keep us off the public dole in our retirement are the cause of this depression. The Tea Party fails to mention that CEO golden parachute retirement benets increased 23 percent this year. Most of us have seen our retirement savings dissolve. And the worst behavior is the partisan game playing that is holding us all hostage. Those who subscribe to current Republican strategy would rather build power than build roads. We need to put America back to work. Our national priorities need adjusting. Now is the time to invest in our future in our workforce, our youth, our schools and teachers; in energy efciency and our environment; in trade policies that create economic vitality in the United States. Now is not the time to widen the gap between the rich and everyone else or to subsidize corporations who exploit workers, weaken worker protections, pollute and undermine self-sufciency. Labor Day is the annual, national tribute to the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity and well-being of our country. This day recognizes the role of workers in making this country great. Labor Day reminds us that labor unions were on the front lines of the struggles that created the programs and protections we take for granted the weekend, the eight-hour day, minimum wage, child labor laws, public education, unemployment insurance, Social Security, workplace equality, family and medical leave, occupational health and safety and workers rights. Through unions, workers win better wages, benets and dignity on the job. Good union jobs mean stronger, more economically vibrant communities. Union workers usually earn more than nonunion workers and are less likely to need public assistance. Workers need unions as much as ever because most corporations still focus on greater prot at the expense of wages and benets. The nature of work in America is changing. Many employers are trying to shed responsibilities for providing health insurance, good pension coverage, reasonable work hours and job safety protections. Jobs and income are less secure as a result of downsizing, part-timing and contracting out. Working people need a voice at work or we will see a resurgence of sweatshop conditions, unlivable wages and dangerous work hours. 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 training, an end to war, dignity and respect. Isnt that what everyone wants?

Market changes since 9/11

Wall Street
are likely to see couples walking their dogs along the areas narrow streets. And the former JP Morgan building, a landmark across the street from the exchange building, is soon to be occupied by a high-end retailer. Back in early September 2001, the Dow Jones industrial average had just fallen below 10,000. Much of the nancial data that powered the stock exchange owed through servers in a Verizon building adjacent to the World Trade Center complex. Tourists could walk in the front door of the New York Stock Exchange and up to a galley to watch the trading. The building itself sustained no damage when the Twin Towers fell, and trading resumed Sept. 17, six days later. But the exchanges home was now considered a prominent target. The visitor center was closed, and the cables and wires that fed the exchange were rerouted and reinforced. Already, advances in technology meant human traders werent always necessary to make decisions. Nasdaq had long operated its market without traders screaming
NEW YORK In the decade since the Sept. 11 attacks, lower Manhattan has been transformed. Once the physical nancial center of the country, the area has become largely an upscale residential neighborhood. The transformation of Wall Street results in part from the terrorist attacks, but it also reects sweeping changes in the structure of the stock market that have come with new technology and regulations. If you just looked at the Dow, youd think that nothing much had changed over the past 10 years, but nothing could be further from the truth, says Louis Pastina, the head of trading oor operations at the New York Stock Exchange. As Fidelity Investments, Japanese bank Nomura and others decamped for New Jersey and midtown Manhattan, chains like Whole Foods, Sephora and Bed, Bath & Beyond moved in. Nearly one-third of the residential buildings in lower Manhattan were built in the last decade. Traders, who once had sidewalks largely to themselves after 7 p.m., now
orders across a trading oor. And, in early 2001, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange which specializes in commodities and options had taken another step into the future by allowing algorithmic trading, which lets computers decide when to buy and sell based on mathematical models. The New York Stock Exchange soon adopted the model as well. But the biggest change came in 2005, when the Securities and Exchange Commission extended a rule that required brokers to ll customer orders at the best available price. Before then, brokers just had to nd the best price at the New York Stock Exchange. The new rule led to faster trading speeds as additional exchanges competed to ll each order. Some investing tactics still can complicate the process. But, in the simplest explanation, an investor who wanted to buy 300 shares of General Electric at the market price before this rule change might have seen his order go unlled for minutes or longer because of its small size. It would be lumped with other orders for GE shares until the total rose to, say, 10,000 shares. Then the aggregate order would be lled, regardless of how much the stocks price uctuated in the meantime.

an Mateo-based Epocrates, Inc.

Prior to Facebook, Tseng was lead product manager at Google where he was responsible for the development and launch of Android, Googles opensource mobile operating system. Before joining Google, Tseng was an associate at McKinsey & Company. He has also held various engineering and product management positions at Microsoft and Yahoo.
HARTFORD, Conn. For incoming freshmen at western Connecticuts suburban Brookeld High School, hefting a backpack weighed down with textbooks is about to give way to tapping out notes and ipping electronic pages on a glossy iPad tablet computer. A few hours away, every student at Burlington High School near Boston will also start the year with new schoolissued iPads, each loaded with electronic textbooks and other online resources in
place of traditional bulky texts. While iPads have rocketed to popularity on many college campuses since Apple Inc. introduced the device in spring 2010, many public secondary schools this fall will move away from textbooks in favor of the lightweight tablet computers. Apple ofcials say they know of more than 600 districts that have launched what are called one-to-one programs, in which at least one classroom of students is getting iPads for each student to use throughout the school day. Nearly two-thirds of them have begun since July, according to Apple.

Serra dismantles Wilcox

By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The Serra football team opened the 2011 season Saturday against Wilcox by displaying the nest offensive weapon in all of San Mateo County; his name is Erich Wilson, hes a running back and a touchdown-scoring machine. Wilson and the Padres could do little wrong Saturday afternoon as they dismantled the Chargers 52-6. It was a game in which Wilson tied a school record for the most touchdowns scored by a player in a single game with six. And truth be told, had he not sat out half the third and the entire fourth quarter, he could have scored eight.
Obviously, Erich is a burgeoning superstar if hes not one already, said Patrick Walsh, Serra head coach. Hes a one-of-a-kind athlete. Hes a special kid, a special person, and obviously, hes a special football player. Were very fortunate to have him here at Serra. Fortunate indeed, and unfortunate for any Serra opponent. To say that Wilson was nearly unstoppable wouldnt be far-fetched. The Serra running back only touched the ball 12 times, but such was his dominance, and that of the Padres offensive line, that half of those times Wilson carried the ball across the goal line for a score. For the game, Wilson rushed for 176 yards 138 of those came on the six touchdown runs.
Thats from all the practice, Wilson said of his success. We practice it so much that during the game its like second-nature to us, so thats what we expect to do. We came out here with a young team, so we came out trying to gure out what kind of team were going to have this year. So far, were looking pretty good. The Padres couldnt have asked for a better start to the season. In Wilcox they had an opponent considered formidable by Central Coast Section standards. Yet the Padres made the Chargers look over-matched in every facet of the game. We have a lot of young guys out there,
NEW YORK Even if it turns out to be nothing, which Rafael Nadal insists was the case, the frightening scene in his post-match interview Sunday will go down as memorable. Answering questions in Spanish, Nadal suddenly started grimacing in pain. He tilted his head back, covered his face with his arm. His face twisted in agony as he slid down in his chair, he motioned for help. After a few nervous moments with the trainers crowded around the table, Nadal popped back up. A simple leg cramp, he insisted. Its bad luck it happened here and not in the locker room, he said. But because it did, that was the big news Sunday at the U.S. Open bigger than Nadals straight-set win over David Nalbandian that came about two hours before the cramping episode, bigger than wins by Americans Donald Young (a surprise) and Andy Roddick (not as much of one).

SAN FRANCISCO That late-season magic that propelled the Giants into last years playoffs is missing. Its in the other dugout, with the Diamondbacks. In a crucial series the reigning World Series champions considered must-win, they faltered again. At home before a sellout crowd. With runners in scoring position. When they took an early lead. Willie Bloomquist hit a go-ahead two-run triple after Ryan Roberts solo homer tied it in
the eighth, and NL West-leading Arizona extended its division cushion to a season-best seven games with a 4-1 win over the stumbling Giants on Sunday. The Giants realized they needed to take two of three this weekend to keep their faint playoff hopes alive, but instead lost the nal two. Were still breathing. Were hanging by a thread, San Francisco manager Bruce Bochy said. We know were running out of time,

Raiders comfortable carrying two QBs

OAKLAND Despite a roster tilted heavily toward the offense, Raiders coach Hue Jackson said hes comfortable carrying only two quarterbacks into the regular season. Oaklands decision to cut Trent Edwards on Sunday left the team with only starter Jason Campbell and backup Kyle Boller. The Raiders also have Terrelle Pryor, but the former Ohio State star cant practice with his teammates until after serving a ve-game suspension. That leaves little margin for error
or injury as Oakland prepares for its season opener at Denver on Sept. 12. I feel comfortable where we are right Jason Campbell now, I really do, Jackson said following practice Sunday. This is all about our team, just making sure we have enough good players to play. And Im very happy with the two quarterbacks we have.
Jackson spoke with reporters for the rst time since the Raiders trimmed their roster to the 53player limit. While most of the moves were expected, Kyle Boller the decision to part ways with Edwards was mildly surprising. He and Boller had been splitting time with the second offense during training camp and both played behind Campbell
in the preseason. The Raiders instead opted to go with two quarterbacks, six running backs, seven wide receivers and four tight ends somewhat perplexing considering apparent needs on defense. They say Im an offensive coach, right? Jackson said with a laugh. Theres no doubt some decisions could have gone the other way but at this time we did what we think is truly best for our football team right now. Letting go of Edwards, Jackson said, was one of the this year, hes lost nine service games in three. I was happy about almost everything today, Nadal said. I think my movements worked pretty well, and the forehand worked really well, and the backhand, too. Just when I had to win the match at 5-3, I played a really bad game there. For the rest of the match, I happy about everything. But shortly after saying that, the cramping came in his right quadriceps and his right hamstring. A scary scene with a few dozen reporters looking on and the cameras rolling. Certainly something that will give people plenty to talk about as Nadal gears up for the second week. Nadal wasnt the only one who struggled with the heat on a windy, humid day in Queens with temperatures in the mid-80s. In Louis Armstrong Stadium, No.
toughest calls he made. Edwards signed with Oakland just before training camp and was listed third on the depth chart but put up better numbers than Boller did in the preseason. Edwards completed 22 of 39 throws for 254 yards with one touchdown and a 74.1 rating, while Boller was 27 of 45 for 268 yards and a 67.6 rating. That was a tough call, Jackson said. Trent did some good things, he really did. Hes a good player and he deserves an opportunity in this league. But at this time this is kind of where we are. 26 Flavia Pennetta backed up her victory over Maria Sharapova with a 64, 7-6 (6) win over No. 13 Peng Shuai of China. But she also struggled with the heat. Trailing 5-3 in the second, Pennetta got a break to stay in it. She forced a tiebreaker but appeared near exhaustion as the set wore on. The match took 2 hours, 31 minutes. This one is one of the worst Ive ever felt on the court, Pennetta said. Pennetta fell behind 5-0 and 6-2 in the tiebreaker but won the last six points to pull out the match. Pennetta made it 6-6 when she answered Pengs overhead with a shot that hit near the frame of her racket for a crosscourt winner. Trying to move past the quarternals in a Grand Slam for the rst time, Pennetta will play Angelique Kerber of Germany, a 6-4, 6-3 winner over Monica Niculescu of Romania.

I just have cramping in my leg, thats all, Nadal said. His 7-6 (5), 6-1, 7-5 win over Nalbandian was routine, at least as routine as theyve been going for the defending champion and No. 2 seed through the rst week at Flushing Meadows. He gave up a break early in the rst set but fought back to force a tiebreaker that he won. He gave back a break in the third set to turn a possible 6-3 close-out into something much closer. He is winning but not steamrolling serving well, but not dominating the way he did last year. Last year, he lost serve ve times in seven matches;
SANTA CLARA The San Francisco 49ers have added third quarterback Scott Tolzien, claiming him off waivers from the San Diego Chargers a day after releasing Josh McCown. Coach Jim Harbaugh said the team likely would add a third quarterback. San Francisco also waived linebacker Keaton Kristick on Sunday, a week ahead of the season opener at home against the defending NFC West champion Seattle Seahawks. San Diego had signed Tolzien as
an undrafted free agent. During the preseason, he completed 25 of 40 passes for 302 yards with a touchdown and an interception. To l z i e n s quarterbacks Scott Tolzien coach/offensive coordinator at Wisconsin was Paul Chryst, brother of 49ers QBs coach Geep Chryst. The 49ers signed seven players to the practice squad who were with them during training camp.

Stanfords new era looks a lot like the old

Venice, Italy, to host two Americas Cup World Series stops
SAN FRANCISCO The Americas Cup World Series will make stops in Venice, Italy, May 12-20 and again in April 2013. Planning is under way for the racing area, which will include spectator access along the waterfront, including the team bases in the Venetian Arsenal. Earlier this year, Americas Cup ofcials excused Italys Venezia Challenge as a challenger and another Italian syndicate dropped out because it wasnt able to raise the money needed to be competitive. In 1992, the Italian syndicate Il Moro di Venezia lost 4-1 to America3 in the Americas Cup match in San Diego. The rst season of the AC World Series began in August in Portugal and continues in Plymouth, England, Saturday through Sept. 18.
STANFORD Andrew Luck grabbed the game ball in the locker room and nished off what his teammates had urged him to do all week. That is, make sure it ended up in the right hands. While seventh-ranked Stanfords seasonopening 57-3 romp over San Jose State on Saturday was lled with highlights, there might not have been a more significant moment than Luck handing the ball off to new coach David Shaw in the locker room. It was a gesture that every Cardinal endorsed, and it was more than just a touching scene or a warm embrace. The keys to The Farm were officially passed. As much as we wanted to win, Luck said. We really just wanted to win for him, to start him off on the right foot. Hard to imagine a better rst step. Stanford dominated in every phase albeit against an opponent that was 1-12 last season and, perhaps most importantly, had that familiar swagger former coach Jim Harbaugh created. Harbaugh is gone, departed down the road to the San Francisco 49ers, and there
were questions about what Shaw would do in his wake. The nal answer will come in the weeks, months and possibly years ahead. The initial showing, however, gave reasons to be optimistic. Sure, the chest bumps and helmet swats that personied Shaws predecessor disappeared. Its doubtful anybody will ever see him ip onto his back and spread out on the grass in protest of an ofcial or do any of the other wild antics Harbaugh made famous. In his own mild-mannered way, Shaw already has captured the respect from his players. That was evident throughout Stanford Stadium from the moment Luck and fellow captain Michael Thomas walked out for the coin ip with Shaws father, Willie, a longtime college and NFL assistant who was the games honorary captain. The former Stanford assis-
tant might have summed up the day in a single sentence. Heck of a way to start, a smiling Willie Shaw said. Luck threw for 171 yards and two touchdowns and also had a diving 1-yard TD scramble in a little less than three quarters. The Heisman Trophy runner-up and favorite for this seasons award was more animated directing the offense at the line scrimmage and, remarkably, seems to only be getting better. What made the new coach beam more than anything about his teams performance was the way Stanford piled up points. Defense and special teams had big roles. The Cardinal forced six fumbles and recovered three, giving Luck a short eld another reason his statistics were relatively modest on almost every possession and showing they have more to offer than just a high-scoring offense.
American team welcomed by Maori to Rugby World Cup

WELLINGTON, New Zealand The U.S. team has been welcomed to the Rugby World Cup, ferried along a New Zealand river in a war canoe by Maori oarsmen. The American Eagles were rst greeted at the Putiki Marae, or meeting place, and presented with caps commemorating the teams part in rugbys seventh World Cup. In the North Island city of Whanganui the team was greeted Sunday by Mayor Annette Main, then conveyed a short distance down the Whanganui River. The Americans had originally declined to travel on the war canoes, citing safety concerns. But the team had a change of heart when it learned it had disappointed local Maori.
Usain Bolt leads Jamaica to 4x100 world record

By Raf Casert
DAEGU, South Korea In one whirlwind week, Usain Bolt turned the biggest disappointment of his career into another golden show capped with a world record even he believed was not within him this year. After opening with a false start in 100 final last Sunday, Usain Bolt again produced the amazing in his closing race of the world championships anchoring Jamaica to a world record in the 4x100-meter relay. When the first three runners passed the baton, Bolt seized the moment. I said, Why not give my all. I kept saying: I can do this. I can do this, he said. And when Bolt is convinced, the clock
usually obliges. Fittingly, Jamaicas yellow-green-and-black flag was the last one rising into the night over Daegu Stadium, and Bolt spread his giant arms wide to soak in the occasion. For me, it was just to go out there fast, Bolt Usain Bolt said. We did just that. One day after winning gold in the 200, Bolt was devastating down the home stretch of the relay and threw his yellow-clad chest across the line for a time of 37.04 seconds the only world record in nine days of competition. This record was a great achievement, Bolt said. I finished the championships on a lead. Less than three-minutes later, Joey Erdie snuck into the end zone from one-yard out, four plays after Wilcox had turned the ball over to the Padres for the second time. Serra kept the offensive pressure coming. After a three-and-out by Wilcox, it took four offensive plays for the Padres to hit pay dirt once again. And once again it was Wilson carrying the ball for a touchdown. For all intents and purposes, the game was over with 2:27 left in the rst quarter up until that point, Wilcox had no answer for Wilson, Eric Redwood and the Serra rushing attack and there was no reason to suspect that they would eventually nd one. Defensively, the Padres were stout. Serra allowed their rst rst down of the afternoon on Wilcoxs ensuing drive. But a play later, they forced yet another Chargers fumble. It wasnt long before Serra converted that gift into seven more points. This time Wilson scored from eight-yards out for the 28-0 lead. I think we did great, said Brandon Bochi of his teams defense. Bochi is the lone returning starter on the 2011 Serra defense. Weve been working really hard in practice to get
good note so Im proud of myself. There was none of the performance anxiety that pushed him into a false start in the 100, only a sheer release of power as he coasted down the stretch for an overwhelming win over France and Saint Kitts and Nevis. He came looking for the same three gold medals he won at the 2008 Beijing Olympics and 2009 world championships but left with only two and a world record. The United States was out of it because of a botched exchange, but no one could have gotten close to a Jamaican team anchored by Bolt. Ahead of the race, Bolt was already slapping the JAM on his bib in pride, and in a season where he was far from his best, he came through with a world record. that Serra pride back into the defense. The coaches really got us ready for this game and I thought we played pretty well. We came in kind of blind. But the coaches got us ready, reading out keys, so we were able to react and play pretty well against their offense. Malakai Green led the Serra defense with 5.5 tackles. Literally seconds after Wilson put the Padres up by 28, he put them up by 35 after another fumble by the Chargers on special teams set Serra up with the ball rst-and-10 from the Wilcox 15-yard line. No. 21 took the rst snap and swept around the left side for his fourth score of the game. Wilson wasnt done with his first-half destruction of the Wilcox defense. On Serras next drive (following another, you guessed it, Chargers fumble), the running back dazzled on a 38-yard touchdown run. We werent expecting it to be (this lopsided), Wilson said. We expected to be a good team. But coming out and playing like
Williams tweets about looking forward to return

NEW YORK Venus Williams says shes eager to return to action after withdrawing from the U.S. Open because of an immune system disease. Williams took to Twitter on Sunday, writing: Thank you everyone for all your well wishes! Its good to have support! Looking forward to getting better and back on tour! this, its a real condence booster going forward. The Chargers managed to score a touchdown of their own just before the halftime horn sounded, making it 42-6 going into recess. But the game had long been decided by the legs of Wilson, who put a triple (or is it, sextuple?) exclamation point on the afternoon seven plays into the second half on a sweep to the right side turned spectacular display of balance, speed and agility down the Serra sideline. The play was a perfect example of Wilsons gifts, patience to set up the play, explosiveness to burst through the line, speed to get to the corner and then balance and he glided down the sideline for the record-tying touchdown. Wilson now shares the record with DeLeon Eskridge, who scored six touchdowns against Scotts Valley in a 2006 playoff game. Serra racked up 371 yards of total offense on only 55 offensive plays, for an average of almost seven yards a snap.
SERRA
Walsh said, speaking particularly about a defense that featured 10 new starters. I think the kids played with great spirit and intensity. We didnt know what we were going to get from Wilcox, new offense, new coach, we didnt know what we were going to get. They put the ball on the ground a lot and that really helped us out. With 10 new starters on defense, a new quarterback, I thought the spirit of the team was great. Its the young defense and special teams that forced six Wilcox turnovers. Serra took full advantage of those opportunities. The rst came on a fumbled snap on a punt attempt that Serra recovered at the Chargers 19-yard line. Five plays later, Wilson carried the ball over the right side of the line and crossed into the end zone for the early 6-0 lead with 8:27 left in the rst quarter. It didnt take Serra long to tack onto their

theres no question about that. I thought it was critical we take the series. We all know it. We didnt. The Diamondbacks finally delivered for Daniel Hudson (15-9) when they got to AllStar Ryan Vogelsong in the eighth. Until then, Cody Ross first-inning home run had held up. Hudson won his third straight start, helping Arizona (80-60) leave the Bay Area for Colorado in a comfortable spot with 22 games to go. Hudson allowed one run on three hits, struck out five and walked one in seven innings. David Hernandez went 1-2-3 in the eighth and J.J. Putz pitched a perfect ninth for his 36th save. San Francisco failed to win a seventh
straight home series at sold-out AT&T Park since taking two of three from Milwaukee on July 22-24. Roberts drove a 2-0 pitch from Vogelsong (10-6) into the left-field bleachers to start the eighth-inning rally. After Gerardo Parra followed with an infield single, Vogelsongs day was done. Jeremy Affeldt was called upon to face pinch-hitter Geoff Blum, while Vogelsong walked off to a standing ovation and tipped his cap. After Affeldt walked Blum on six pitches, Bochy replaced him with Ramon Ramirez. Bochy vowed to pull out all the stops and treat this one like an elimination game. Aaron Hill added an RBI single in the eighth to give Arizona an insurance run. Gibson went with the same eight players in the same order after Saturdays victory ahead of Hudson in the ninth hole. Kirk Gibsons gritty group has seized control of its fate with a fabulous stretch. What we never wanted to do is get in a more runs earlier in the season, Matsui said through an interpreter. Thats one thing I am disappointed about. He struck me out with a pitch inside in my rst at-bat, but I felt pretty good afterward. Trevor Cahill (10-13) allowed a run and ve hits over ve innings to improve to 1-4 with a 6.46 ERA over his last seven starts. Andrew Bailey pitched the ninth for his 19th save in 21 chances. It felt like I was pitching out of a big situation every inning, Cahill said. I was able to make pitches when I needed to make them. Dustin Ackley hit a two-run homer and Ichiro Suzuki drove in a run for the Mariners, who have dropped four straight games. Luis Rodriguez added a two-run single. Blake Beavan (3-5) pitched ve innings for
situation where were looking at the scoreboard and wanting somebody else to do our dirty work, Gibson said. Now, thats right where the Giants sit. Weve left ourselves no room for error, utilityman Mark DeRosa said. We dont have a choice. We cant sit and worry. We need to win every game and scoreboard watch. We will keep fighting. The pressure is on San Francisco to make another spectacular September run, a lastditch push with time quickly running out and hope for some help from other teams against the red-hot Diamondbacks. Arizona lost Friday nights series opener 6-2 to end a nine-game winning streak, then bounced back with a commanding 7-2 win against Tim Lincecum on Saturday night behind another impressive outing from 18game winner Ian Kennedy. Its a good feeling, Im not going to lie to you. These guys feel good about themselves, and they should, Gibson said. Theres no Seattle and was charged with four runs and seven hits. The rookie right-hander is 0-3 with a 6.44 ERA in his last ve starts. I threw the ball OK, Beavan said. The rst three innings I thought there were some good pitches but I didnt get the calls. I keep trying to keep the same mindset and not try to be too ne. Seattle center elder Franklin Gutierrez departed in the eighth inning with a severe left oblique strain. He grabbed his left side after a swing and miss and needed help off the eld. Hes been swinging the bat much better the last month or so, Mariners manager Eric Wedge said. Theres a pretty good chance hes done for the year. If he is done, he can take the past month with him into the offseason and to spring training.
comfort, I dont care how many games were up, until weve secured our spot in the playoffs. Arizona played much of Sundays finale without slugger Justin Upton, who was ejected in the fourth inning for arguing a called third strike. Upton jumped into the air after being called out on strikes against Vogelsong for the first out of the fourth with Hill aboard on a leadoff single. Upton jawed with plate umpire Brian Knight and was tossed. An infuriated Upton had to be held back by Gibson and then first base coach Eric Young. Vogelsong, the journeyman and unlikely All-Star who toiled in the minors and Japan, lost his fourth straight start despite an impressive day. The Giants again missed chances with runners in scoring position their downfall the entire season and havent won in their last six series since taking two of three at Florida from Aug. 12-14. The Mariners also lost outelder Casper Wells, who left with a bruised left elbow after getting hit by a pitch in the second inning. Wedge said he will be re-evaluated on Monday. Cahills previous victory came on July 27 against Tampa Bay. Hes allowed 28 runs in 38 2-3 innings for a 6.52 ERA since holding the Rays scoreless over 7 1-3 innings. Kurt Suzukis RBI single in the second gave the As the early edge. DeJesus added a sacrice y in the third and a run-scoring single in the fth. Allen also drove in a run in the fth. Ichiro Suzuki hit an RBI single in the fth for the Mariners rst run. Ackley hit his sixth homer with two outs in the seventh. The Athletics responded with four runs in the bottom half of the seventh.
AS
The As are two games over .500 and hitting nearly 40 points better since the break. Matsui has plenty to do with that. Matsui is hitting .343 (62 for 181) since the All-Star break. He hit .209 in the rst part of the season. The three doubles tied a singlegame Oakland record. It seems like hes always contributing, Melvin said. Any young player can learn from him. He means a lot to this team. Matsui was a little more modest. I wish I would have helped the team score

WaltersViewprimed for run at top of ratings

By David Bauder
NEW YORK With Oprah Winfrey gone, daytime television is ready for a new monarch. Barbara Walters and the show she invented 15 years ago, The View, pronounce themselves ready to step up. She may be past 80 now, but would YOU bet against her? The show begins its new season Tuesday, with New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg as guest. In a muddled daytime picture, The View plans to compete aggressively for displaced Winfrey viewers with a more topical feel, aggressive booking of guests and a few pages ripped from Oprahs playbook. Oprah was the only other show that did some of the things that we did, said Bill Geddie, executive producer. Quite honestly, some of the people that we might have gotten second, well be getting rst now. The View has just as much chance as any to become the daytime talk leader. Late afternoon, where Winfreys show ran across most of the country, is considered a more desired time slot than the 11 a.m. home of The View. But a big mixture of personalities like Dr. Phil, Ellen DeGeneres, Anderson Cooper and Dr. Oz will now be competing in the afternoon, some of them new to their time slots or new to the business, and none goes in with a huge advantage in the ratings, said Bill Carroll, an expert in the daytime market for Katz Media. Meanwhile, The View is a xture at its time of day. Consistency always works in your favor, Carroll said. Kamal Kharrat and Jill Hanson, of Foster City, gave birth to a baby boy at Sequoia Hospital Aug. 19. *** Igor and Marina Bershteyn, of Redwood City, gave birth to a baby girl at Sequoia Hospital Aug. 20. *** Bryan and Ann Hynecek, of Foster City, gave birth to a baby boy at Sequoia Hospital Aug. 22. *** Irvin and Heidi Tyan, of San Mateo, gave birth to a baby boy at Sequoia Hospital Aug. 23.
The Viewbegins its new season Tuesday.

Geddie noted that no 11 a.m. show has ever been the top daytime talk program, and he seems eager for the challenge of changing that. The time slot was no real prize back in 1996. ABC had a string of failures there before asking Walters to come up with an idea for a show. She thought of presenting a handful of women with diverse backgrounds and opinions, primarily an entertainment show. Still busy at ABC News, Walters appeared only two days a week and asked Meredith Vieira to be moderator, a role now held by Whoopi Goldberg. Only 60 percent of ABC viewers could see the show at rst, and Walters remembers spending much of her rst year cajoling station managers across the country to carry it. Now The View is seen virtually everywhere on ABC.

his is it. At 11 a.m. Saturday, the doors to our new center will swing wide open and the companion animal adoption experience in our county will never be the same. Gone are chain-link kennels with dogs barking and leaping at each other which, for years, has scared away some families browsing with little kids. Our dogs now have comfy dog dorms. Weve also said buh-bye to cramped quarters for cats; they have cat condos. And, instead of having rabbits, guinea pigs, birds, turtles and snakes shoehorned into small spaces never intended to hold them and visitors, we have brand-new rooms for these non-traditional pets awaiting adoption. They have most of the second oor inside our new Tom and Annette Lantos Center for Compassion at 1450 Rollins Road in Burlingame. Dogs occupy the rst oor with cats on level three, the busiest of our oors since cat adoptions outnumber dog adoptions (go, cat people!). The facility is being funded entirely by donations; no government dollars and no donations from national animal organizations. And, were not passing expenses along to you. Adoption fees will remain the same, as will fees for obedience classes and consultations. A few questions have popped up from local residents: Do we have kittens up for adoption? Yes, many of them. And, we have others in our new Kitten Nursery not quite ready for new homes, but you can watch volunteers feed them through a viewing window. People have also asked about volunteering and donating towels, wondering if both are needed in the brand-spankin new place. Yes, to both. Volunteers are needed at both our facilities (Coyote Point and the new Lantos Center), as are towels and blankets. If walk into to our new center with a bag full of towels and leave with a Volunteer Application (or a new companion!), youre our version of an animal welfare all-star.

Grays travels and experiences in the Middle East. A great photograph stops someone in their tracks, and they take more than five seconds to understand, develop Nathan Gray feelings and create some sort of relationship based on experiences in their own lives, said Borsuk. Im hoping this work will just continue to make people think about the Bedouins message and that something as simple as skateboarding can be the bridge between love and hate, and peace and violence for a whole new generation of people in this world. Sour, which has won numerous awards at international lm festivals, including the Best Content award at the 2008 Boston International Film Festival, depicts Israeli and Arab skaters in the midst of the deadly Lebanon-Israel War of 2006. The lm points out that life continues in the war-plagued Middle East even in the midst of upheaval, and that the daily interactions of a disparate group of skateboarders is a step toward peace greater than much formal diplomacy. In Bangalore, India, Nathan Gray has used skateboarding as a way of fostering creative expression and personal growth among the poverty-stricken children there. Smile, the second lm, follows Gray on his six-month journey volunteering at the Deepika School, and points out that skateboarding, a movedays after the government said employers added zero net jobs in August. The monthly jobs report, arriving three days before Labor Day, was the weakest since September 2010. Combined, the 14 million ofcially unemployed; the underemployed parttimers who want full-time work; and discouraged people who have stopped looking make up 16.2 percent of working-age Americans. The Labor Department compiles the gure to assess how many people want full-time work and cant nd it a number the unemployment rate alone doesnt capture. In a healthy economy, this broader measure of unemployment stays below 10 percent. Since the Great Recession ofcially ended more than two years ago, the rate has been 15 percent or more. The proportion of the work force made up of the frustrated part-timers has risen faster than unemployment has since the recession began in December 2007. Company describes itself as the states oldest and largest indoor automotive remarketing center, auctioning weekly off-lease and repossessed vehicles to a pool of 54,000 registered members and dealers. The company, which began in 1982, moved to the current site in 1982 when it took over the auctioning of Wells Fargo Banks repossession and lease return business. According to the suit, Collins is substantially disabled and needs a wheelchair for mobility. He makes no claim for mental and emotional distress but seeks no less than $4,000 for the civil rights violation and asks that Faulknor fix numerous ADA violations: disabled parking, no distinguished path of travel from parking to the main Journey, however, may get some of her money back. Under a pending $40 million settlement in state court, Career Education has agreed to offer rebates up to $20,000 to 8,500 students who attended the academy between 2003 and 2008. In 2004, Journey was a recent high school graduate, dreaming of opening her own bakery, when she enrolled in a 7-month program in pastry and baking arts at the San Francisco school. Recruiters convinced her it was a worthwhile investment and helped her borrow $30,000 to pay for it. After finishing the program, the only job she could find paid $8 an hour to work the night shift at an Oregon bakery something anyone could have gotten without a culinary ment with no rules and regulations, has flourished in some unlikely places. Youth in streets the world over have turned crowded cities into massive playgrounds, reevaluatpotentially Justin Borsuk ing degrading surroundings in a positive light. Both lms will be shown continuously on Saturday, and an exhibit of Borsuks photography and illustrations will run all day. Craig Wiesner, co-founder of Reach and Teach, was skeptical when he rst heard about the Bedouins and their chosen method of peacekeeping. When I rst heard of the Bedouins and their projects, I was truly intrigued, he said. Skateboarding in the Middle East? Building peace in this region is a serious matter, I thought. Then I realized that so many of us look at complex life problems and wish we could do something about them, but dont know what we can possibly do. The truth is that everything that you know how to do well and you do with love can be used for peacekeeping, including skateboarding. The Bedouins are proving it. If you go: The skateboarding film and art mashup is 7 p.m. Friday, Sept. 9 and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 10 at Dove and Olive Works, 178 S. Boulevard, San Mateo. The even is free although donations of $3 or more are requested at the door. Thats because many companies slashed workers hours after the recession hit. If they restored all those lost hours to their existing staff, theyd add enough hours to equal about 950,000 full-time jobs, according to calculations by Heidi Shierholz, an economist at the Economic Policy Institute. Thats without having to hire a single employee. No one expects every company to delay hiring until every part-timer is working full time. But economists expect job growth to stay weak for two or three more years in part because of how many frustrated part-timers want to work full time. And because employers are still reluctant to increase hours for part-timers, hiring is really a long way off, says Christine Riordan, a policy analyst at the National Employment Law Project. In August, employees of private companies worked fewer hours than in July. entrance, no signs to the main entrance, a main entrance that is on a sloped landing and with a door that is heavy to open and no sign, a high water fountain without knee space, no space to maneuver inside the bathrooms, no disabled bathroom stall, a sink providing no clear space, a bathroom door with no maneuver space, urinals that are not easy to use, no lowered front counter and show room doors without clear space. The barriers caused Collins serious injuries and damage and keep him from returning to the business because he fears they will cause injury, the suit argues. A case management conference is scheduled for Dec. 14. certificate, she said. Journey, who now lives in Bakerseld, has abandoned her bakers dream and now plans to attend community college to become a nurse or dietitian. Without the settlement money, she will be paying for that culinary certicate for another 15 years. Was it worth the money and the time to have this loan hanging over my head? she asked. Absolutely not. Two other Le Cordon Bleu schools the California School of Culinary Arts in Pasadena and the Western Culinary Institute in Portland also face lawsuits from former students who say they were duped by deceptive advertising, particularly the schools job placement rates.

PEACE
out of Dove and Olive Works, for a lm screening and art exhibit demonstrating how something as basic as skateboarding serves as a way of uniting people and overcoming divides. Nathan Gray, director of the Bedouins, grew up skating in Saudi Arabia and points out the potential of cross-cultural human experiences where politics fail. I believe that skateboarding in its essence is about abolishing rules, ipping the script, and transforming something wasted and desolate like islands of concrete or road barriers into something positive, he said. In this vein, skating is also about transforming entrenched prejudices and misunderstandings. On Friday, the rst day of the two-part event, attendees will have a chance to view two documentaries, Sour and Smile. Following the screening, Oakland photographer Justin Borsuk and members of the Bedouins will speak with the audience. Borsuk, founder of Fly Trap Studios in Oakland, and Gray have been friends since college, and the photographer has been contributing artwork to shows promoting the lms and Grays work for years. At this event, his skate deck artwork will be featured. Made from a combination of hand painting, gel-transfer photographs and sayings in Hebrew, the decks speak to the diversity of

Intensied competition for jobs means unemployment could exceed its historic norm of 5 percent to 6 percent for several more years. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Ofce expects the rate to exceed 8 percent until 2014. The White House predicts it will average 9 percent next year, when President Barack Obama runs for re-election. The jobs crisis has led Obama to schedule a major speech Thursday night to propose steps to stimulate hiring. Republican presidential candidates will likely confront the issue in a debate the night before. The back-to-back events will come

MONDAY, SEPT. 5, 2011
Conditions in general look extremely promising for you in the year ahead, especially in areas where you have already been busy laying solid foundations. One or more could take you straight to the winners circle.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- In many situations, moneymaking tips given by insiders are of little or no value. However, when information comes from one who has made it big, take a second look. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Rather than engage in activities that involve a lot of mental gymnastics as you generally would, youre likely to find a lot of enjoyment
in pursuits that are more on the physical side. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- This could turn out to be a rather good day for you where your material affairs are concerned. An investment you thought of as being a loss might suddenly turn a profit. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Something important that has been totally out of your hands is making its way back to you. Once it is within your grasp again, youll be able to control matters to your liking. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Lady Luck is opening up a new door of opportunity for you. You are likely to get a chance to participate in a development that is being run by another and that is doing quite well. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- You will be entering into a new cycle in which big opportunities abound,
stemming from partnership arrangements. Dont turn down any invitation to join a group that has a good chance of being successful. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Should you come up with a good idea regarding a new way to advance your ambitions and aspirations, move on it promptly, even if it is a shot in the dark. Its likely to succeed. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- If you want to end up having the upper hand when involved in a competitive situation, whether it involves a sport, game, romance or business, adopt a positive mindset. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Important changes can be made that could have some far-reaching effects. Dont hesitate to move things around a bit if you believe it would better your lot in life.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- When you dont try to second-guess yourself, your judgment can be pretty good. When an on-the-spot call needs to be made, do so without hesitation. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- An abundance of opportunities are all around you, both in your personal life and in work-related situations. Watch out for insignificant matters to suddenly become very important. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Ventures or enterprises you personally direct or have a hand in developing should live up to your expectations. Be extremely careful not to delegate too much authority.

Rebels:Talks for loyalist town failing

Pakistan urges Afghanistan to help free prisoned youths
ISLAMABAD Pakistans interior minister on Sunday called on Afghanistans president to help win freedom for around 30 young Pakistanis held captive by the Pakistani Taliban. The youths were abducted in Afghanistan four days ago after crossing into Kunar province on a day trip from their border villages in Bajur tribal region. The Pakistani Taliban said it captured them because they belong to a tribe that set up a militia force backed by Pakistani government to ght the militants. The minister, Rehman Malik, told reporters he asked Afghan President Hamid Karzai to help free the boys. I request that you get them released, he said.

Foreigners complaining of harassment by Libya rebels

By Hadeel Al-Shalachi and Karin Laub
TRIPOLI, Libya A Ghanaian teacher cowers in his house, certain he will be grabbed at a checkpoint because of his dark skin. Armed rebels detain 19 Ukrainian cooks and oil workers for several days on unsupported claims that they are really snipers for Moammar Gadha. Theyre among thousands of foreigners caught in a web of suspicion as rebel ghters pursue the remnants of Gadhafis forces. Gadha hired some foreigners as
mercenaries, but many others held ordinary jobs in Libya, and the rebels who ousted the Gadhafi regime from most of Tripoli last month often seem to make little effort to tell them apart. How can we be snipers? cook Maksim Shadrov asked angrily at a training center for oil workers in Tripoli where he, his wife and 17 other Ukrainians were being held. They are old. She is a woman. We are not snipers, he said, pointing to some members of his group. Even a rebel commander conceded that he had no evidence to the contrary, but held them nonetheless, despite a diplomats efforts to free them.
TARHOUNA, Libya Negotiations over the surrender of one of Moammar Gadhafis remaining strongholds have collapsed, and Libyan rebels were waiting for the green light to launch their final attack on the besieged town of Bani Walid, a spokesman said. Rebel negotiator Abdullah Kanshil said the talks had broken down after Moussa Ibrahim, Gadhafis chief spokesman and a top aide, had insisted the rebels put down their weapons before entering the town, some 90 miles (140 kilometers) southeast of Tripoli. Rebel forces control most of the oil-rich North African nation and are already setting up a new government, but Gadhafi and his staunchest allies remain on the run and enjoy support in several central and southern areas, including Bani Walid and the fugitive leaders hometown of Sirte. The rebels have said the hardcore loyalists are a small minority inside the town, but are heavily armed and stoking fear to keep other residents from surrendering. We feel sorry for the people of Bani Walid, said Kanshil, himself a native of the town, speaking to reporters at a rebel checkpoint about 40 miles (70 kilometers) to the north. We hope for the best for our town. The rebels have extended to Saturday a deadline for the surrender of Gadhafis hometown of Sirte and other loyalist areas but some
have warned they could attack Bani Walid sooner because many of the most prominent former regime officials were believed to be inside. There has been speculation that Gadhafi himself along with his son Seif al-Islam had been there at some point, and the apparent presence of Ibrahim indicates that the town was a haven for high-level Gadhafi aides. This battle has already been decided, said Ahmed Bani, the rebels military spokesman based in Benghazi. It is only a matter of hours. He said there had been clashes around the town for the last four days and rebel forces had come under fire from rockets and machine guns. Thousands of rebel fighters have converged on Bani Walid in recent days from multiple directions. The rebels say Gadhafi does have some genuine supporters in Bani Walid, mainly people linked to the dictator through an elaborate patronage system that helped keep him in power for nearly 42 years. Gadhafi supporters are claiming that (rebel) fighters will come and rape their women, said Mubarak al-Saleh, the representative from Bani Walid to the rebels transitional council. We are trying to assure people that the fighters are true Muslims who will not harm anybody except those whose hands are stained with blood. Rebels arriving from Misrata, a western port that played a central role in the war, reported late Saturday they faced no resistance when they took two military camps on the outskirts of Bani Walid.
Haiti aims to spread people, jobs across country

CORAIL-CESSELESSE, Haiti When last years earthquake hit Port-au-Prince, the Haitian capital, the school where Sansoir Boyer taught biology and math was reduced to rubble, along with the surrounding neighborhood. Out of that disaster, however, Boyer has emerged with a new house and job beyond the teeming city he had lived in for years. Along with thousands of other displaced people, he moved to the burgeoning settlement of Corail-Cesselesse on a sun-soaked plain nine miles (14 kilometers) north of the capital. He will be principal of a soon-to-open elementary school. I think the area will be transformed and the people who live here will nd a better life, Boyer said outside the row of schoolhouses.
