East San Carlos residents pushing
back against the proposed Transit
Village development around the
train station want to make it clear
they arent necessarily anti-project
and certainly not against mass trans-
portation.
Were just regular folks who
want to preserve our neighborhood.
Were not NIMBYs. Were the orig-
inal transit village, said Dimitri
Vandellos, who calls his two-minute
walk to the train station pretty
cool.
But Vandellos and other members
of neighborhood group Greater East
San Carlos say the proposed Transit
Village a mix of retail space and
luxury rental units is neither the
best way to get others on the train or
the best addition to the city.
The group has an outstanding list
of concerns including noise, park-
ing and shadowing on their homes
from the four-story development but
GESC President Ben Fuller said the
opposition goes beyond individual
components like height and density.
Shade I can live with some of
it, Fuller said. But this plan is
totally out of scale for the neighbor-
hood and there is too much uncer-
tainty.
GESC members said theyve tried
meeting with the city, property
owner SamTrans and developer
Legacy Partners for ve years and
only did so last week.
SamTrans spokesman Mark
Simon said he understands they felt

require parents who enroll students
who have not received the required

It was one of
about 100 bills
that Brown was considering on
Sunday, his last day to act on bills
sent to him by the Legislature this
fall. He also signed a bill that could
one day free some criminals who
were sentenced as juveniles to life
in prison, and another making
California the rst state to ban a
form of psychotherapy aimed at
making gay teenagers straight. He

Russian church: Pussy Riot
deserve mercy if repent
MOSCOW The Russian Orthodox
Church on Sunday asked for clemency
for three jailed members of the rock band
Pussy Riot if they repent for their punk
prayer for deliverance from President
Vladimir Putin at Moscows main cathe-
dral, a statement that came a day before
an appeal hearing and appeared to reect
a desire to put an end to the case that has
caused an international outrage.
But it was unclear whether the women,
who were sentenced to two years last
month, would offer a penitence sought
by the church and how much leniency a
court may show. Putin has always been
reluctant to avoid leaving an impression
that he could bow to public pressure and
has taken an increasingly tough line on
dissent since his inauguration in May.
Mondays appeal hearing has caught
their family members between hope and
despair as they attempt to gauge from the
words and actions of government and
church ofcials whether the political tide
will turn in their favor.
In Sundays statement, the church reaf-
rmed its condemnation of the womens
raucous stunt, saying such actions cant
be left unpunished. But it added that if
the women show penitence and recon-
sideration of their action, their words
shouldnt be left unnoticed.
Earlier this month, Russian Prime
Minister Dmitry Medvedev said that
keeping them in prison any longer would
be unproductive a statement that
encouraged hopes the appeals court
could set them free. But skeptics said
that ahead of the band members convic-
tion on charges of hooliganism driven
by religious hatred, Putin himself said
the women should not be judged too
harshly, raising similar hopes for their
release that proved vain.
Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, 22, Maria
Alekhina, 24, and Yekaterina
Samutsevich, 30, were arrested in March
after dancing and high-kicking at
Moscows Christ the Savior Cathedral as
they pleaded with the Virgin Mary to
save Russia from Putin, who was elected
to a third presidential term two weeks
later. They said during their trial in
August that they were protesting the
Russian Orthodox Churchs support for
Putin and didnt intend to offend reli-
gious believers.
Both the government and the church
may have a strong interest in putting the
Pussy Riot case behind them to avoid
further damage at home and abroad.
The band members imprisonment has
come to symbolize intolerance of dissent
in Putins Russia and caused a strong
international condemnation. Their cause
has been taken up by celebrities and
musicians, including Madonna and Paul
McCartney, and protests have been held
around the world.
Even some government loyalists criti-
cized the harsh sentence, voicing con-
cern about the churchs interference in
secular affairs and a growing repressive
streak in the Kremlins policies.
Since his inauguration in May, Putin
has taken an increasingly tough stance
against dissent in response to a series of
massive winter protests against his 13-
year rule.
Opposition activists have faced inter-
rogations and searches, and the Kremlin-
controlled parliament quickly stamped a
slew of draconian bills, including the one
that raised nes 150-fold for taking part
in unsanctioned protests and another
obliging those non-government organi-
zations that receive foreign funds to reg-
ister as foreign agents.
In a clear nod to the Pussy Riot stunt,
pro-Kremlin lawmakers last week dis-
cussed a new bill that would make
offending religious feelings a crime
punishable by up to five years in
prison.

Members of Pussy Riot were sentenced
to two years in jail and have an appeal
hearing today.
W
hen the Spanish declared owner-
ship of Alta California, it gave the
church the right to govern it and
do with it what it seemed t. However, the
Army was to maintain order and protect the
church. This arrangement caused friction from
the beginning. The church controlled the land
and did not give out grants of the land and
they also did not allow any exchange of mer-
chandise by any foreign power. This all
changed when Mexico gained control of the
Spanish Empire in 1822. Commerce was then
allowed and land was granted to individuals
that were valuable to the Mexican govern-
ment.
The main merchandise Mexicans had to sell
was what came from their lands cattle. The
meat could not be exported as it spoiled fast so
that left the hide as a marketable commodity.
Its use as clothes, jackets, hats, etc. was in
great demand by the Americans on the East
Coast.
The few ships that had sailed into the San
Francisco Bay prior to 1822 had used the port
that faced the Presidio at the northwest section
of the Peninsula. It was inadequate as a port
due to the swamp and when the Yankee
Schooners began arriving en masse a new port
was sought out. The best port, although far
from perfect, was situated on the east side of
the Peninsula. It was called the Yerba Buena
Port. A problem immediately arose the
Mission Dolores had been the center of activ-
ity for the Spanish and it was a few miles dis-
tance for the new port. For years, there had
been a trail, called Calle de la Fundacion, that
led from the Presidio to the area of Port Yerba
Buena. It was used for travel from the Presidio
to an area where a few men grew vegetables
such as potatoes. There was a sweat house by
Montgomery Street where the natives steam
bathed and performed rituals before a big
hunting trip.
The lower part of this area had a sandy
beach by the Bay then the land began rising in
elevation slowly until Kearny Street was
reached. There the Calle de la Fundacion
(which was later named Kearny Street)
became a border where the terrain became
steep and difcult to climb.
In 1835, a pueblo (El Paraje de Yerba
Buena) was authorized between Broadway
and Pine and Stockton streets and the Bay.
There was an area between Kearny, Clay and
Washington streets and Brenham Place that
was set aside, in traditional Mexican fashion,
for the function of the government.
Candelario Miramontes, who lived by the
Presidio, planted potatoes on the site.
Miramontes later was granted a Rancho in the
Portsmouth Square

SAN FRANCISCO Plans to
use an array of powerful air cannons
in an undersea seismic study near a
Central California nuclear power
plant have federal and state ofcials
juggling concerns over marine life
with public safety.
Pacic Gas & Electric Co. wants
to use big air guns to emit strong
sound waves into a large, near-shore
area that includes parts of marine
reserves to make three-dimensional
maps of fault zones, some of which
were discovered in 2008, near its
Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant.
But a state study, mandated by
AB1632, signed into law in 2006,
found the project is likely to have
unavoidable adverse effects on
marine life and the environment.
Biologists, environmental groups and
shermen have opposed using the
high-energy air guns, saying the blasts
have potential to harm endangered
whales, California sea otters and other
creatures frequenting these waters.
I am very concerned about
impacts to marine mammals, espe-
cially some of the large whales
including blue, n, and humpback
whales, said John Calambokidis,
an Olympia, Wash.-based marine
biologist who has studied Pacic
Ocean whales for decades. There
are many uncertainties on the
impact of this type of operation on
whales, especially since we have not
seen this type of large air gun survey
off California for a long time.

LOS ANGELES The demoli-
tion of a bridge that forced the
weekend closure of one of the
nations busiest freeways is on
schedule, while many Los Angeles
drivers heeded warnings to steer
clear of the area, and officials
expect to reopen the lanes as
planned Monday morning.
Crews working around the clock
since Friday evening have taken
down all but two columns of the
Mulholland Drive bridge over
Interstate 405, Rick Jagger,
spokesman for the Los Angeles
County Metropolitan
Transportation Authority, said
Sunday morning. The project is part
of a $1 billion project to widen the
freeway to accommodate a new car-
pool lane.
Everythings on pace for the 5
a.m. Monday reopening, Jagger
said.
Carmageddon II, the sequel to last
years shutdown of a 10-miles
stretch of the 405 through the
Sepulveda Pass, is going according
to script as motorists heeded months
of warnings to stay off the road.
Drivers faced additional chal-
lenges Sunday as the Herbalife Los
Angeles Triathlon temporarily
closed many surface streets between
Venice Beach and downtown LA.
Metro detoured 42 bus lines, which
meant riders could experience some
delays, Jagger said.
Surface streets in the closure area
were clogged, but overall ofcials
said trafc tie-ups were minimal. As
temperatures climbed into the 90s,
those who couldnt resist a trip to
the beach said trafc was smooth.
Weve been all over the city, no
traffic. We even went to Dairy
Queen for an ice cream and there
was nobody there, Marilyn Millen
told KNBC-TV on Saturday.
California Highway Patrol of-
cers cited seven people on Interstate
405 early Sunday, including a group
of rollerbladers and newlyweds who
sneaked onto the roadway to cele-
brate their nuptials.
For weeks, Angelenos have been
warned to avoid the area on LAs
West Side. If they dont, ofcials
warn, a citywide trafc jam could
result. But beyond just scare tactics,
city ofcials have been encouraging
Southern Californians to get out and
enjoy their own neighborhoods on
foot, on bikes or via short drives on
surface streets.
During a similar closure last year,
commuters stayed away from the
freeway in droves, the shutdown was
considered a success, and crews n-
ished the rst phase of the work early.
This time, the contractor faces a
penalty if the work isnt done in 53
hours. The ne is $6,000 per lane of
freeway, for every 10 minutes over
the deadline. Demolition temporari-
ly halted Saturday when a large
chunk of the bridge unexpectedly
came down, but the contractor said
it wouldnt delay the project.
The closed section of the freeway
carries about 500,000 motorists
each day on a typical weekend,
according to the Los Angeles
Times. California Department of
Transportation ofcials said that in
order for Carmageddon II to be a
success, at least two-thirds of those
drivers need to stay off the road.
Meanwhile, TV news crews made
good on a promise to avoid a trafc
jam in the sky as they cover the
shutdown.
Residents complained of low-y-
ing, noisy helicopters hovering non-
stop over the region last year. This
time, local television news directors
pooled coverage by using video
from a single helicopter making
limited ights over the freeway.

POTTER VALLEY A re in a
mobile home located across the
street from a rural Northern
California volunteer re department
has claimed the life of two men,
identied by neighbors as an elder-
ly man and his developmentally dis-
abled son.
The re, reported around 7:30
a.m. Saturday, trapped the elderly
man inside the double-wide trailer
in Potter Valley, witnesses told the
Santa Rosa Press Democrat.
Mendocino County authorities
have not released the names of the
two victims, but neighbors identied
them as Earl McDaniels, believed to
be in his 80s, and his son, Wes
McDaniels, believed to be in his 50s.
Members of a work crew in the
area told the newspaper that three
children were able to escape from
the burning mobile home but were
trapped inside the homes fenced-in
yard by locked gates.
The kids were outside, and the
parents were trying to get the two
people out of the trailer, witness
Pete Nelson said. They were going
to try to save their father, but it was
too late. That place was engulfed.
Nelson and a second man lifted a
toddler over the fence and the other
man cut the lock with bolt cutters so
the two other children could escape.
When firefighters arrived, the
mobile home was engulfed in
flames, Potter Valley Fire
Department Chief Bill Pauli said.
Adding to the chaos, propane gas
tanks were on the property, with one
exploding about 20 minutes after
the re started, Pauli said.
With additional re crews sent in
from nearby communities, the re was
brought under control by 10:30 a.m.,
but ofcials closed off several blocks of
the neighborhood until around 4 p.m.

SACRAMENTO Gov. Jerry
Brown on Sunday announced sign-
ing a bill that could one day bring
the release of some criminals who
were sentenced as juveniles to life
in prison.
There are 309 inmates serving
life-without-parole sentences in
California for murders committed
when they were younger than 18.
Brown signed SB9, by
Democratic Sen. Leland Yee of San
Francisco. It would let the inmates
ask judges to reconsider their sen-
tences after they serve at least 15
years in prison.
Judges could then reduce the no-
parole sentence to 25 years-to-life if
the inmate shows remorse and is
taking steps toward rehabilitation.
Yee said his bill recognizes that
young peoples brains and impulse
control grow as they age. His bill
was opposed by the states major
law enforcement and victims
organizations.
I am proud that today California
said we believe all kids, even those
we had given up on in the past, are
deserving of a second chance, Yee
said in a statement.
California is one of 39 states that
allow judges to sentence minors to
die in prison. More than 2,570 peo-
ple convicted as juveniles are serv-
ing life sentences without the possi-
bility of parole in the U.S., accord-
ing to the Youth Justice Coalition,
an Inglewood-based group con-
cerned with the treatment of juve-
nile offenders.
The U.S. Supreme Court recently
struck down mandatory life without
parole sentences for juveniles as
unconstitutional cruel and unusu-
al punishment.
But the ruling
didnt affect
Californias law
because it
already gives
judges the dis-
cretion to
impose a sen-
tence of 25
years-to-life.
Opponents say the bill is unfair to
victims families. Allowing the pos-
sibility of parole would force the
survivors to relive their experience
as they ght against parole.
Before, we had life without pos-
sibility of parole without, said
Maggie Elvey of Sacramento, who
helped organize opposition to the
bill. Its so sad that theyre taking
the justice away.
She said survivors like herself
were told that their loved ones mur-
derers would never be released from
prison.
Its not fair to go retroactive
back to all those killers, she said.
Yee struggled for a year to get the
bill through the Legislature over
opposition from organizations rep-
resenting police chiefs, sheriffs,
prosecutors, victims and many
rank-and-le law enforcement of-
cers. He had support from some
individual law enforcement offi-
cials, notably San Francisco District
Attorney George Gascon, Police
Chief Greg Suhr and interim Sheriff
Vicki Hennessy.
It was his third attempt in ve
years. He succeeded in getting it
through the Legislature this year,
with no Republican votes, only after
amending the bill to exclude young
offenders who tortured their victims
or killed a law enforcement ofcer
or reghter.
The exemptions are not enough to
satisfy survivors such as Elvey.
Victims hate that, when they say
that one persons loved one is more
important than another, Elvey said.
Her husband, Ross, was murdered
by two teens during the robbery of
his gun shop in Vista, Calif.
They held Ross down on the
oor and just kept beating and beat-
ing him, she said.
He was in a coma for 41 days
before he died on June 7, 1993.
Theyre all violent, brutal mur-
ders, she said. Thats why they
got this sentence.
However, University of Southern
California law professor Heidi
Rummel, director of the universitys
Post-Conviction Justice Project,
said children are different from
adults and deserve to be treated dif-
ferently under the criminal justice
system.

SAN FRANCISCO A crowd
of 5,000 watched Saturday as Nobel
Peace Laureate and Myanmar oppo-
sition leader Aung San Suu Kyi
received an honorary doctorate from
the University of San Francisco.
Suu Kyi spoke to the crowd in
English for several minutes before
switching to Burmese, addressing
her fellow countrymen in the audi-
ence. The San Francisco Bay area is
home to the nations largest
Burmese community.
Our country is on the verge of a
new path, she told the crowd. We
are just about to start out, but we are
not along the way yet. And because
were just at the beginning, this is a
delicate and difcult time.
Suu Kyis appearance at the uni-
versity is part of her high-prole
visit to the U.S. that has included a
private meeting with President
Barack Obama and standing ova-
tions at awards ceremonies in
Washington and New York, includ-
ing at the United Nations.
House Minority Leader Nancy
Pelosi handed her the framed
degree at Saturdays event inside a
packed auditorium. Suu Kyi was
also given a key to the city by
Mayor Ed Lee.
Suu Kyi, 67, has been a key play-
er in Myanmars political transfor-
mation after a half-century of mili-
tary rule.

California will ban gay
teen conversion therapy
SACRAMENTO California
will become the rst state to ban a
controversial form of psychotherapy
aimed at making gay teenagers
straight.
Gov. Jerry Brown announced
Sunday that he had signed SB1172
by Democratic Senator Ted Lieu of
Torrance.
Lieu says the law will prevent
children from being psychologically
abused.
Effective Jan. 1, the state will pro-
hibit what is known as reparative or
conversion therapy for minors.
Brown says the therapies have no
basis in science or medicine and
they will now be relegated to the
dustbin of quackery.
Gay rights groups say the practice
is dangerous because it can put
youth at higher risk of depression
and suicide.

DES MOINES, Iowa Five
weeks to Election Day, President
Barack Obama is within reach of
the 270 electoral votes needed to
win a second term. Republican Mitt
Romneys path to victory is nar-
rowing.
To overtake Obama, Romney
would need to quickly gain the
upper hand in nearly all of the nine
states where he and Obama are
competing the hardest.
Polls show the president with a
steady lead in many of them as
Romney looks to shift the dynamics
of the race, starting with their rst
debate Wednesday in Denver.
Wed rather be us than them,
says Jennifer Psaki, an Obama
spokeswoman.
But Romneys running mate Paul
Ryan says theres time for the GOP
ticket to win. In these kinds of
races people focus near the end,
and thats whats happening now,
he told Fox
News Sunday.
If the election
were held
today, an
A s s o c i a t e d
Press analysis
shows Obama
would win at
least 271 elec-
toral votes, with
likely victories in crucial Ohio and
Iowa along with 19 other states and
the District of Columbia. Romney
would win 23 states for a total of
206.
To oust the Democratic incum-
bent, Romney would need to take
up-for-grabs Florida, Colorado,
Nevada, North Carolina, New
Hampshire and Virginia, which
would put him at 267 votes, and
upend Obama in either Ohio or
Iowa.
The AP analysis isnt meant to be
predictive. Rather, it is intended to
provide a snapshot of a race that
until recently has been stubbornly
close in the
small number of
the most con-
tested states.
It is based on
a review of pub-
lic and private
polls, television
advertising and
numerous inter-
views with
campaign and party ofcials as well
as Republican and Democratic
strategists in the competitive states
and in Washington.
In the nal weeks before the Nov.
6 vote, Obama is enjoying a burst of
momentum and has beneted from
growing optimism about the econo-
my as well as a series of Romney
stumbles. Most notably, a secret
video surfaced recently showing the
Republican nominee telling a group
of donors that 47 percent of
Americans consider themselves vic-
tims dependent on the government.
To be sure, much could change in
the coming weeks, which will fea-
ture three presidential and one vice
presidential debate. A host of
unknowns, both foreign and domes-
tic, could rock the campaign,
knocking Obama off course and
giving Romney a boost in the
homestretch.
Barring that, Romneys challenge
is formidable.
Obama started the campaign with
a slew of electoral-rich coastal
states already in his win column.
From the outset, Romney faced
fewer paths to cobbling together the
state-by-state victories needed to
reach the magic number.
Its grown even narrower in
recent weeks, as Romney has seen
his standing slip in polls in Ohio,
with 18 electoral votes, and Iowa,
with six. That forced him to aban-
don plans to try to challenge
Obama on traditionally Democratic
turf so he could redouble his efforts
in Ohio and Iowa, as well as
Colorado, Florida, New
Hampshire, North Carolina,
Nevada and Virginia.
Romney is hoping that come
Election Day, on-the-fence voters
tip his way. But there are hurdles
there, too.
Early voting is under way in
dozens of states, and national and
key states surveys show undecided
voters feel more favorably toward
Obama than Romney.
The Republican is in a tight battle
with Obama in Florida, as well as
Colorado, North Carolina and
Nevada.
But Ohios shifting landscape
illustrates Romneys troubles over
the past few weeks.
Republicans and Democrats
agree that Obamas solid lead in
public and private polling in the
state is for real. Over the past
month, the president has beneted
from an improving economic situa-
tion in the state; its 7.2 percent
unemployment rate is below the 8.1
percent national average. Obamas
team also attributes his Ohio edge
to the auto bailout and GM plant
expansions in eastern Ohio.
As race stands, Obama within reach of second term

Newspaper: Malvo felt like worst piece of scum
WASHINGTON Convicted D.C. sniper Lee Boyd Malvo
said in a newspaper interview published Sunday that the dev-
astated reaction of a victims husband made him feel like the
worst piece of scum.
Malvo expresses remorse in the interview with The
Washington Post and urged the families of victims to try and
forget about him and his partner John Allen Muhammad so
they can move on.
Nation brief
KANSAS CITY, Mo. Advocates
for people who engage in rough but con-
sensual sex say they fear an abuse case
unfolding in Missouri ultimately could
criminalize their lifestyle.
Ed Bagley faces a federal trial early
next year on 11 counts of abuse against a
woman authorities say he groomed to be
his sex slave. Now prosecutors plan to
present consensual, though violent, acts
between Bagley and his own wife as evi-
dence that Bagley has a history of sexu-
ally assaulting women.
The case will include evidence of
"sadistic sexual assaults" committed by
Bagley against his wife, Marilyn, prose-
cutors say.
"Marilyn Bagley's `consent' to the sex-
ual assaults by Defendant Edward
Bagley does not change whether the acts
legally constitute assault or not.
Pursuant to the Missouri state assault
statute consent is not a defense to
assault resulting in serious physical
injury," prosecutors wrote in court docu-
ments led last month.
Some worry the government's asser-
tion could open up people who practice
bondage, dominance, sadism and
masochism - or BDSM - to criminal
charges for consensual acts they're
already performing, said Susan Wright,
founder of the Baltimore-based National
Coalition for Sexual Freedom.
"We are following this case specical-
ly because we were hoping this issue
would not come up," she said.
Ed Bagley, 45, of Lebanon, Mo., is
accused of grooming a young woman to
be his sex slave starting in 2002, then
keeping her captive for years while mak-
ing money from her images on fetish
Internet sites and forcing her to work as a
dancer at strip clubs. Marilyn Bagley, 47,
is charged with ve counts, including sex
trafcking and forced labor trafcking.
Both have pleaded not guilty.
Prosecutors claim Bagley, known as
"Master Ed," tortured the young woman
and made her available to other men who
came to his trailer, either to torture or have
sex with her. Four men, who said they vis-
ited Bagley's trailer to watch or take part,
have pleaded guilty to conspiracy charges.
The case came to light in early 2009
after the woman, then 23, was hospital-
ized after what prosecutors said was a
torture session. Then-U.S. Attorney Beth
Phillips called the case one of "the most
horric ever prosecuted in this district."
Advocates for the BDSM community
say even the most brutal acts detailed in
Bagley's federal indictment are not crim-
inal acts, as long as there was consent.
But if the woman was too young or not
intelligent enough to consent, as prose-
cutors allege, or if she initially gave con-
sent and then changed her mind, most
who spoke with the AP said that would
be criminal sexual abuse.
Abuse case poses question of consent vs. crime
WORLD 8
KABUL, Afghanistan A re-
ght broke out between U.S. forces
and their Afghan army allies in east-
ern Afghanistan Sunday, killing two
Americans and three Afghan sol-
diers and pushing the number of
U.S. troops killed in the long-run-
ning war 2,000.
The fighting started Saturday
when what is believed to have been
a mortar red by insurgents struck a
checkpoint set up by U.S. forces in
Wardak province, said Shahidullah
Shahid, a provincial government
spokesman. He said the Americans
thought they were under attack from
a nearby Afghan army checkpoint
and fired on it, prompting the
Afghan soldiers to return re.
The Afghan Defense Ministry
said the gunbattle was the result of a
misunderstanding between inter-
national forces and Afghan soldiers
manning a checkpoint in the Sayd
Abad district.
NATOs International Security
Assistance Force, commonly
referred to as ISAF, provided a dif-
ferent account.
After a short conversation took
place between (Afghan army) and
ISAF personnel firing occurred
which resulted in the fatal wound-
ing of an ISAF soldier and the death
of his civilian colleague, the coali-
tion said in a statement. It said the
three Afghan soldiers died in an
ensuing exchange of re.
NATO did not say whether it con-
sidered this an insider attack on
foreign forces by Afghan allies.
There has been rising tide of such
attacks in which Afghan soldiers or
police assault their international
allies. The killings pose one of the
greatest threats to NATOs mission
in the country, endangering a part-
nership key to training up Afghan
security forces and withdrawing
international troops.
While it may be days before it
becomes clear who red on whom
rst, the incident illustrates how
tense relations have become.
Ofcials on both sides went into
damage control mode, arguing that
Saturdays violence did not mark a
new low in Afghan-U.S. relations
and urging patience while investiga-
tors tried to gure out exactly what
had happened.

TEHRAN Iranian ofcials
announced that they would soon
introduce local alternatives to
Google and its Gmail e-mail serv-
ice, even as the countrys media and
even some ofcials stepped up com-
plaints over Tehrans decision to
enact a ban on Gmail in response to
an anti-Islam film, newspapers
reported on Sunday.
Last week, Iran blocked Gmail --
but not the search engine of the par-
ent company Google -- in response
to a court order linked to the distri-
bution of a low-budget, U.S.-pro-
duced lm on YouTube, also owned
by Google.
In a country with 32 million
Internet users out of a population of
75 million, according to ofcial sta-
tistics, that ban has caused wide-
spread resentment. Even many pro-
government newspapers have com-
plained of the disruptions.
Some problems have emerged
through the blocking of Gmail,
Hussein Garrousi, a member of a
parliamentary committee on indus-
try, was quoted Sunday by the inde-
pendent Aftab daily as saying. He
said that parliament would summon
the minister of telecommunications
for questioning if the ban was not
lifted.
The deputy minister, Ali Hakim
Javadi, told reporters that Iranian
authorities were considering lifting
the Gmail ban, but also wanted to
introduce their own domestic alter-
natives: the Fakhr (Pride) search
engine and the Fajr (Dawn) e-mail
services, Aftab reported.
Irans clerical establishment has
long signaled its intent to get citi-
zens off of the international Internet,
which they say promotes Western
values, and onto a national and
clean domestic network. But it is
unclear whether Iran has the techni-
cal capacity to follow through on its
ambitious plans, or is willing to risk
the economic damage.
Bans on Gmail and other services
like YouTube and Facebook have
left Internet users scrambling to nd
ways to bypass the blocks.
On Saturday, Asr-e Ertebat week-
ly reported that Iranians had paid a
total of 4.5 million US dollars to
purchase proxy services to reach
blocked sites over the past month.

BAGHDAD A series of coor-
dinated bombings shattered Shiite
neighborhoods and struck at Iraqi
security forces Sunday, killing at
least 26 in attacks that one ofcial
described as a rallying call by al-
Qaida just days after dozens of mil-
itants escaped from prison.
The blasts brought Septembers
death toll from sectarian violence to
nearly 200 people - a grim, above-
average monthly total for the period
since U.S. troops left last year. The
steady pace of attacks has worked to
undermine condence in the gov-
ernment.
The people are fed up with the
killings in Iraqi cities, said Ammar
Abbas, 45, a Shiite and government
employee who lives in a Baghdad
neighborhood near one of the
bombings. The government of-
cials should feel shame for letting
their people die at the hands of ter-
rorists.
Police said the wave of explosions
stretched from the restive but oil-
rich city of Kirkuk in the north to
the southern Shiite town of Kut,
wounding at least 94 people.

OPINION 9
Choosing reactionary
measures rather than
preventative measures
Editor,
In response to San Mateo County
Supervisor Rose Jacobs Gibsons guest
perspective entitled Moving from jail
to a job published in the Sept. 26 edi-
tion of the Daily Journal, I want to
remind my fellow residents of the con-
tradictions that the board is putting
forth.
Supervisor Gibson claims that we
will do better on the local level com-
pared to the state. Yet, San Mateo
County should not place itself along-
side Santa Clara County, Santa Cruz
County and San Francisco County.
These counties have chosen alterna-
tives, unlike San Mateo which has
decided on a jail as the best use of an
initial $44.2 million.
Furthermore, Supervisor Gibson
reminds us that the board does not put
people in jail but has the job of provid-
ing programs and services. It is these
programs that will keep people out of
jail. I am tired of hearing the board
claim they have no control when they
have the legal authority to reduce the
pretrial population and expand alterna-
tives.
In addition, Supervisor Gibson men-
tions Achieve 180 and the need for
more programs. The report from the
Institute for Law and Policy Planning
wrote that Achieve 180 should expand
its caseload as a way to avoid unneeded
jail beds. However, the board is so set
on this jail to listen to research from
the Center for Juvenile and Criminal
Justice, ACLU of Northern California
and San Mateo Countys own govern-
ment.
It is upsetting that our board would
like to allow individuals to hit rock
bottom and choose reactionary meas-
ures rather than preventative measures.

Invest in social
services, not a new jail
Editors,
In her Sept. 26 guest perspective,
Supervisor Rose Jacobs Gibson
claimed that the proposed new jail sup-
ports women by pushing them down far
enough so that theyll start to seek
improvement. This is an expensive and
cruel fallacy. Women and men who
need drug and alcohol counseling can
be drawn to it for many reasons.
Having someone arrested by police,
jailed by the sheriff and sentenced by a
judge is an expensive approach that
usually fails (Kimberly Zedans story
notwithstanding: she had been jailed
many times before). It also leaves the
supposed beneciary with a criminal
record and punishes their family (espe-
cially if there are children involved) by
withdrawing the parent for a prolonged
period of time. While its a welcome
event when people successfully transfer
out of jail into employment (as in
Zedans story), the way to get more
people employed is not by sending
more people to jail where job-train-
ing failure is generally unavailable or
unsuccessful but by providing more
job training in community settings
where success is common.
Supervisor Gibson is not that far
from her critics. Her essay recognizes
that successful job-training programs
happen outside of jails, community
supervision and/or electronic monitor-
ing can be safely used in place of jail-
ing people, and that county resources
for drug counseling and job training are
underfunded. With this common
ground, why cant she agree that more
investment in social services would
allow San Mateo County to avoid the
cost and burden of the new jail entire-
ly?

Letters to the editor
The (Riverside) Press-Enterprise
C
alifornia needs a better scal
approach than some vague
hope the future will somehow
cure the states nancial ills. The state
struggles usually in vain to bal-
ance its budget each year, while letting
long-term obligations mount rapidly.
Legislators need to end the reliance on
short-term expedients and begin putting
state nances on a sustainable long-
term course.
A new report by the State Budget
Crisis Task Force outlines the scal
challenges facing California. Much of
the report will not be news to those
familiar with California government:
The states tax structure is highly
volatile, resulting in huge swings in
revenue from year to year. Yet in good
years, legislators devote any revenue
windfalls to new programs or tax cuts
instead of creating a real reserve. In bad
economic years, the Legislature resorts
to borrowing, accounting tricks and
other stopgaps that leave decits intact
for the following year. The independ-
ent, nonpartisan panel is headed by for-
mer Fed chairman Paul Volcker and for-
mer New York Lt. Gov. Richard
Ravitch.
The reports most sobering nding,
however, is not about the states yearly
budget turmoil, but how the
Legislatures failure to plan ahead
leaves the state at great long-term nan-
cial risk. Gov. Jerry Brown, for exam-
ple, has vowed to trim the wall of
debt that California has amassed
through years of shortsighted budget
ploys. In the unlikely event the assump-
tions in the current state budget hold
up, the state will still owe about $28
billion for past budgetary borrowing,
payment deferrals and other gimmicks.
But that number pales next to other
state obligations. California also faces a
funding gap of at least $200 billion
over the next 30 years for public retire-
ment benets and the pension
reforms approved by the Legislature
this year do not come close to erasing
that decit. And the state has about $80
billion in outstanding bonds that
depend on the states general fund for
repayment.
Nor do any of those numbers consid-
er the states projected needs for infra-
structure, such as $469 billion over the
next 10 years for transportation proj-
ects, $68 billion for drinking water and
wastewater projects over the next two
decades and about $100 billion for pub-
lic school renovation and construction
through 2020.
So a budget process that does not
look beyond the immediate present
leaves the states future in dire jeop-
ardy. The Legislature needs to start
planning ahead, instead of merely
reacting to the latest emergency. That
task should start by ending the yearly
reliance on stopgaps and gimmicks that
keep the state in constant scal turmoil.
Legislators will need to make tough
decisions about spending and taxes that
can put state nances on a stable foot-
ing. The Legislature should also reduce
the states longer-range decits, by fur-
ther reining in retirement costs. And
legislators should start crafting plans
now to meet the states long-term infra-
structure needs.
Stumbling from one budget crisis to
the next is not a realistic strategy for
the states future. Californias long-
range nancial challenges are daunting
and the state will never surmount
those obstacles by focusing only on the
present.
Budget alarm
Those pesky
propositions
I
ts time to consider those pesky propositions on the
state ballot. They are there because the Legislature cant
agree on controversial measures and/or because power-
ful special interests want something to happen or not to hap-
pen. Forget about citizen initiatives or direct democracy. That
being said, it doesnt mean we should ignore them. Some
need to be voted in. Others need to be voted down.
The proposition which has received the most attention and
is the most important is Proposition 30. Its there because of a
budget stalemate similar to
what is happening in
Washington, D.C. Congress
couldnt agree on a decit
funding plan to raise suf-
cient revenue and make addi-
tional spending cuts. If
Congress doesnt act before
the end of the year, there will
be drastic cuts in military
and discretionary spending.
In Sacramento, the only way
legislators could balance the
budget was to rely on income
from a successfully passed
Proposition 30. If that fails,
there will be drastic cuts to
education and other state-supported services. We are caught
in a Catch 22. Much of our state nancial problems are due,
in part, to initiatives. Its a vicious circle. Still, we need to
pass Proposition 30 to get out of the stranglehold created by
past propositions notably Howard Jarvis Proposition 13
and its ripple effect.
There is another education funding measure on the ballot,
Proposition 38, sponsored by Molly Munger, a civil rights
attorney, and supported by the California PTA. The money
would go to schools and preschool. If both propositions pass,
the measure with the most votes will be the winner. The con-
cern is that some education supporters will vote for Mungers
bill which is trailing instead of Proposition 30 and both will
fail. So far, Proposition 30 is leading but it needs more than
50 percent to pass.
The most controversial is Proposition 34 to eliminate the
death penalty. Supporters say capital punishment in
California isnt working. The process to ensure that no one is
wrongly executed is so effective that the death penalty is not
implemented. There are many hoops and lengthy appeals, a
cottage industry for death penalty lawyers. There are current-
ly 725 inmates on death row. Since 1977, 60 have died from
natural causes versus only 13 who have been executed. New
challenges as to how the death penalty is administered has
also added to the delays. As a result, capital punishment is
too expensive and the most extreme punishment for extreme
crimes should be life without parole. Supporters make a good
case for the outlandish expense and the ineffectiveness of the
current system. But is Proposition 34 the right x? According
to law enforcement and victims, it is not. If the process needs
to be improved, then do it fairly. Life imprisonment without
parole is also expensive. And there needs to be the harshest
deterrent especially for cop killers. If people want to elimi-
nate the death penalty for moral reasons than that should be
the reason for the initiative, not cost. However, past efforts
have failed and the economic reason may be more persuasive.
To date, this measure has a slight lead in the polls.
***
Is life imprisonment without possibility of parole a harsher
sentence than the death penalty? This is the subject of a
famous short story The Bet by Anton Chekov. In it, two
lawyers are debating which is worse. The older attorney says
the death penalty is more moral and more humane than
imprisonment for life. Capital punishments kills a man at
once, but lifelong imprisonment kills him slowly. The
younger disagrees and says to live anyhow is better than not
at all. The older attorney offers to pay a huge sum if the
younger man agrees to solitary connement for 15 years.
Thus the bet. As it turns out, neither wins but you will have to
read this classic to nd out the details. It does beg the ques-
tion which is the harsher punishment? Is the monotony of jail
for a lifetime preferable to execution?
***
Then we have the propositions which shouldnt be there at
all. Proposition 35 increases penalties for human trafcking.
While it seems no one should be against it, does it belong in
the California Constitution? Ditto for Proposition 37 which
requires all genetically engineered food to be so labeled.
Monsanto is against this and consumer food groups are for it.
And there are several more in this category. Why doesnt the
Legislature deal with these issues? The answer: Proponents
feel they have a better chance of making law via the ballot
box. But this is a real turnoff for the voter. Every year we
hear the same lament. Clean up the initiative process. Were
still waiting.

BUSINESS 10
By Matthew Craft
NEW YORK As President Barack
Obama widened his lead over Mitt
Romney in polls this month, traders at
hedge funds and investment rms began
shooting emails to clients with a similar
theme: Its time to start preparing for an
Obama victory.
What many in the market worry about
isnt that high earners may pay more in
taxes if Obama wins. They worry that
federal spending cuts and tax hikes
scheduled for 2013 will kick in on Jan. 1
and start pulling the country into anoth-
er recession. The higher taxes and lower
spending would total $600 billion. They
take effect automatically unless
Congress and the White House reach a
deal before then.
If hes re-elected, Obama will still face
a House of Representatives controlled
by Republicans the rest of the year. And
the new Congress that takes ofce in
January may have a Republican House,
too. Investors says thats likely to set up
a budget battle similar to August of last
year, which ended with the country los-
ing its top credit rating and panicked
investors eeing the stock market.
If you have any kind of gridlock, you
run the risk of inaction, says Tom
Simons, a market economist at the
investment bank Jefferies. This is a sit-
uation where inaction is the worst out-
come.
Obama and others like former
President Bill Clinton have expressed
the belief that House Republicans could
be more cooperative once the election is
over.
Theyll be faced with determining
whether we get a recession or not, says
Jeff Kleintop, chief market strategist at
LPL Financial.
Most on Wall Street think Congress
and Obama would eventually manage to
at least postpone some of impending tax
and spending changes before this year is
out.
The Congressional Budget Office
recently laid out the grim consequences
of such an event often compared to
dropping off a scal cliff. Starting Jan.
1, tax cuts signed by President George
W. Bush expire as do Obamas cuts to
payroll taxes. Federal spending on
defense and other domestic programs
will drop, while emergency unemploy-
ment benets run out.
The combined effect off all these
changes would shrink the economy near-
ly 3 percent at an annual rate in the rst
half of next year, the CBO estimates, and
push unemployment up to 9.1 percent by
the fall. The unemployment rate was 8.1
percent in August. Recent surveys of
businesses suggest the threat is already
weighing on the minds of executives
when theyre making hiring and spend-
ing plans.
For the worlds biggest money man-
agers, the scal cliff now ranks as the
greatest hazard to the global economy,
according to Bank of Americas most
recent fund manager survey. It topped
the European debt crisis, a collapse in
Chinese real estate and even a war
between Israel and Iran.
The danger looms so large to most
investors that they believe Washington
will nd a way to escape it.
Ultimately, I think a deal gets done,
but its just a question of how long it
takes to get there, Kleintop says. By
no means is it going to be an easy
process. Gridlock means theres a
greater chance that this drags on into
next year.
Investors eye the cliff
WASHINGTON If you or an eld-
erly relative have been hospitalized
recently and noticed extra attention
when the time came to be discharged,
theres more to it than good customer
service.
As of Monday, Medicare will start n-
ing hospitals that have too many patients
readmitted within 30 days of discharge
due to complications. The penalties are
part of a broader push under President
Barack Obamas health care law to
improve quality while also trying to save
taxpayers money.
About two-thirds of the hospitals serv-
ing Medicare patients, or some 2,200
facilities, will be hit with penalties aver-
aging around $125,000 per facility this
coming year, according to government
estimates.
Data to assess the penalties have been
collected and crunched, and Medicare
has shared the results with individual
hospitals.
Medicare plans to post details online
later in October, and people can look up
how their community hospitals per-
formed by using the agencys Hospital
Compare website.
It adds up to a new way of doing busi-
ness for hospitals, and they have scram-
bled to prepare for well over a year. They
are working on ways to improve com-
munication with rehabilitation centers
and doctors who follow patients after
theyre released, as well as connecting
individually with patients.
There is a lot of activity at the hospi-
tal level to straighten out our internal
processes, said Nancy Foster, vice pres-
ident for quality and safety at the
American Hospital Association. We are
also spreading our wings a little and
reaching outside the hospital, to the
extent that we can, to make sure patients
are getting the ongoing treatment they
need.
Still, industry ofcials say they have
misgivings about being held liable for
circumstances beyond their control.
They also complain that facilities serv-
ing low-income people, including many
major teaching hospitals, are much more
likely to be ned, raising questions of
fairness.
Readmissions are partially within the
control of the hospital and partially with-
in the control of others, Foster said.

MidAmerican Energy has agreed to buy two wind projects
under construction about 120 miles north of Los Angeles from
the wind developer Terra-Gen Power.
Terms of the sale were not disclosed.
The two projects, totaling 300 megawatts of peak electric
capacity, will be part of the larger Alta Wind Energy Center locat-
ed in Tehachapi, Calif., much of which is already in operation.
MidAmerican, a subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway Inc., said
Sunday it will sell the electricity to Southern California Edison
under long-term power purchase agreements.
In typical conditions, the projects will produce enough elec-
tricity to meet the demand of about 80,000 homes.
MidAmerican Energy Holdings Co. serves electric cus-
tomers in Iowa, Illinois, South Dakota and Nebraska and it also
controls a subsidiary called MidAmerican Renewables that
operates wind, solar, geothermal and hydro-electric plants and
sells that power to other utilities. Terra-Gen Power is a private
company based in New York City.
Wind developers are scrambling to get wind projects under-
way this year in order to qualify for a federal wind subsidy that
is slated to expire at the end of the year. President Barack
Obama wants Congress to extend the subsidy but his
Republican challenger Mitt Romney and some members of
Congress want to allow it to lapse.
Wind power has struggled to compete in recent years
because low natural gas prices have lowered wholesale electric
power prices, reducing the amount of revenue a wind turbine
can generate. Without the federal subsidy, construction of wind
projects is expected to slow dramatically, at least until power
prices begin to rise.
The wind subsidy, known as the production tax credit, is
worth $22 for every megawatt-hour of electricity generated by
a wind farm during its rst 10 years of operation. For
MidAmericans new wind farms, that would amount to about
$19 million per year, or $190 million in total.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
A look at the stat sheet from
Saturdays 29-28 loss to San
Joaquin Delta College only tells
part of the story for the College of
San Mateo football team.
The Bulldogs loss the turnover
battle 3-1, they were out-gained 437
to 377 on offense and were out-
scored 17-7 in a fourth quarter that
saw them lead 21-12.
But the play that matters in the
win-loss column was a missed 33-
yard eld goal with less than a
minute to play that conserved a 1-
point lead for Delta and handed
CSM its rst loss of the 2012 sea-
son. The Bulldogs will begin their
conference schedule in two weeks
against Foothill College.
CSM went down early in the rst
quarter on a safety. That 2-0 score
held up until the 10:37 mark in the
second quarter when Quincy
Nelsons 3-play, 48-yard drive with
an 11-yard touchdown run to made
it 7-2.
But Delta regained that lead on a
big, 34-yard fumble recovery for a
touchdown by David Holley.
As accustomed by CSM all sea-
son long, when faced with adversi-
ty, the Bulldogs usually respond. In
this instance, Blak Plattsmier manu-
factured a 12-play, 71-yard drive
that culminated with a 4-yard
Kenya Price touchdown run. The
drive was masterful, but it left Delta
with 1:31 to work with and the visi-
tors made the most of that, using 10
plays to set up a 34-yard eld goal
that made it 14-12 at the half.
Plattsmier kept the CSM offense
rolling to begin the third quarter.
His 38-yard run was the big play in
the quarters opening drive. It was a
scoring march culminating in Jerrel
Browns 14-yard touchdown that
gave CSM a 21-12 lead.
And on the ip side, the Bulldog
defense looked to be locked in.
Delta had two reasonably long
drives in the third quarter 10
plays and 13 plays but came
away with zero points. The latter of
those drives ended on the CSM 1-
yard line.

Nady, Spence
homer in 9th
to lift Giants
SAN DIEGO Pinch hitter Xavier Nady
homered off Huston Street to tie the game
with one out in the ninth and Hunter Spence
hit a go-ahead, two-run shot as the San
Francisco Giants rallied to beat the San Diego
Padres 7-5 Sunday.
The stunning rally got Tim Lincecum off
the hook for the loss, but the righty still had
his second straight shaky start for the NL West
champion Giants.
Lincecum allowed a season-high three
home runs, including a two-run shot by Logan
Forsythe and solo homers by Chase Headley
and Yasmani Grandal.
Lincecum might no longer be a lock for the
No. 3 spot in the playoff rotation. Manager
Bruce Bochy instead might consider lefty
Barry Zito (14-8), who was left off the roster
for all three postseason rounds during the
teams improbable 2010 run to the World
Series championship.
San Francisco has won Zitos last 10 out-
ings and he has won four straight starts and
six consecutive decisions since a loss Aug. 2.
The 2002 AL Cy Young Award winner with
Oakland has his most wins since joining the
Giants with a $126 million, seven-year con-
tract before the 2007 season.
Lincecum allowed ve runs four earned
and four hits in six innings with four strike-
outs and two walks.
With the Giants trailing 5-4, Nady drove a
1-0 pitch from Street (2-1) into the sandy play
area beyond the fence in right-center. It was
his second pinch homer this year and sixth of
his career. Francisco Peguero beat out an
Cespedes hits
homer as As
beat Mariners
By Janie McCauley
OAKLAND Yoenis Cespedes hit a go-
ahead homer in the eighth inning to move
Oakland a win closer to the clubs rst playoff
berth in six years, and the Athletics beat the
Seattle Mariners 5-2 on Sunday to stay right
on the heels of Texas in the AL West race.
Cespedes also hit an RBI triple and
Brandon Moss had a sacrice y in the rst
inning for the As, who pulled within 1 1/2
49ers blank Jets
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. The San
Francisco 49ers are everything Rex Ryan
wishes his New York Jets were.
San Francisco used a solid running game, a
smothering defense, a little bit of the wildcat-
style offense and even blocked a punt to cruise
to a 34-0 victory Sunday.
Thats exactly the type of team the Jets
coach was hoping to build. Instead, Ryan had
to watch it from the other sideline as the 49ers
ran for more than 200 yards and Carlos
Rogers returned a fumble 51 yards for a
touchdown.
Frank Gore, Kendall Hunter and backup
quarterback Colin Kaepernick on a wild-
cat-style option all ran for scores as the
49ers (3-1) bounced back from a disappoint-
ing loss last week at Minnesota. Rather than
head back to the West Coast after that defeat,
coach Jim Harbaugh chose to have his team
stay in eastern Ohio and practice at
Youngstown State all week.
It apparently helped, just as it did last sea-
son when the 49ers did the same thing.
San Francisco won in Cincinnati last year,
stayed on the road and then rallied from a 20-
0 deficit to stun the Eagles 24-23 in
Philadelphia. The 49ers wound up going to
the NFC championship that season, and if
they play anything like they did against the
Jets, they could very well nd themselves
advancing deep into the postseason again.
It was San Franciscos rst shutout since
beating the St. Louis Rams 26-0 last
December.
Meanwhile, the Jets (2-2) couldnt get any-
thing going on offense and lost top wide
receiver Santonio Holmes to what appeared to
be a serious foot injury. It was the rst time
New York was shut out since losing 9-0 to
Green Bay on Oct. 31, 2010, and the Jets
biggest shutout home loss since falling 37-0 to
Buffalo in 1989.
If Holmes misses signicant time, the Jets
would be without their two biggest playmak-
ers after All-Pro cornerback Darrelle Revis
was likely lost for the season with a torn liga-
ment in his left knee last week at Miami.
On the rst play of the fourth quarter,
Holmes caught a pass from Mark Sanchez for
4 yards, but his left leg appeared to go out on
him. The ball ew out of his hands, and
Rogers picked it up and returned it for a score.

But the fourth quarter was a completely dif-
ferent story. The period began with a 45-yard
Delta pitch and catch to inch San Joaquin
closer. CSM got those points back on another
explosive play by Levi Wilson. His 69-yard
touchdown run gave CSM the momentum
right back and made it 28-19 less than a
minute after Deltas TD.
The rest of the way, CSM gift-wrapped the
win for Delta.
After a San Joaquin eld goal made it 28-
22, Plattsmier, who had come in after a John
Willis fumble earlier in the game, coughed up
the football that gave Delta the ball on the
CSM 18-yard line. It too the visitors two plays
to capitalize on the error and make it a 29-28
ball game.
The Bulldogs got two more cracks at the
win. The Bulldogs last drive began on their
23-yard line with 2:48 left in the game.
Plattsmier was sharp, completing three
straight passes and adding a 3-yard run to get
the ball to the San Joaquin 17-yard line. After
a Nelson 1-yard run, Austin Pacheco came in
to attempt a 33-yard eld goal. His kick was
wide left.
Plattsmier nished the game 10 of 15 pass-
ing for 114 yards. Wilson led all CSM rushers
with 111 yards on the ground.
Deltas Sam Hutsell passed for 266 yards.

NOTRE DAME DE NAMUR VOLLEYBALL
The Notre Dame de Namur volleyball team
lost in straight sets to Hawaii Hilo over the
weekend, falling to 1-13 on the season.
The Argonauts opened strong in the rst set
with neither team taking a decisive lead until
the Vulcans rode a 6-0 run to make it 24-18
lead before closing the set out 25-19.
Jennifer Jasper paced the Argos with four
kills and ve blocks in the set. Bria Morgan
led the way for the Vulcans with ve kills in
the rst set.
The Argos jumped out to a quick 5-0 lead in
the second game only to see the margin
diminish quickly. The Vulcans used their sec-
ond six-point run of the match to take a 7-6
lead and force an Argonaut timeout.
The Vulcans stayed hot out of the timeout,
going on another six-point run and moving to
a 15-10 advantage. Hawaii Hilo rode that
wave to the end of the second set, winning 25-
23.
Morgan paced the Vulcans in the second set
as well, adding six kills. Jasper and Brooke
De Miguel entered the locker room with eight
kills each for NDNU.
The Vulcans too the third set with relative
ease, 25-14.
De Miguel led the Argos with 13 kills on the
evening. Jasper added 10 and six blocks.
Anna Jayo recorded 26 assists. Paulina
Akiona lead all players with 14 digs.

Angeles Angels.
Any reliever would ask to get out there and

MEDINAH, Ill. Erasing some
of their worst Ryder Cup memories,
the Europeans wore the image of
Seve Ballesteros on their sleeves and
played their hearts out Sunday at
Medinah to match the greatest
comeback in history and head home
with that precious gold trophy.
Europe got its payback for
Brookline, when the Americans
roared back from the same 10-6
decit. This rally was even more
remarkable, carried out before a rau-
cous American crowd that began
their chants of USA! some three
hours before the rst match got
under way.
Jose Maria Olazabal squeezed his
eyes and fought back tears when
Kaymer holed a 6-foot par putt to
beat Steve Stricker and give Europe
the point it needed to keep the cup.
This was the rst Ryder Cup since
Ballesteros, the soul of European
golf in this event, died last May of a
brain tumor. Olazabal wanted his
team to wear navy blue, Seves
favorite color, and added a clever
touch his iconic silhouette on the
sleeves of their shirts.
This one is for all of Europe,
Olazabal said. Seve will always be
present with this team. He was a big
factor for this event for the European
side, and last night when we were
having that meeting, I think the boys
understood that believing was the
most important thing. And I think
they did.
Tiger Woods missed a 3 1/2-foot
par putt on the 18th hole, and then
conceded a par to Francesco
Molinari of about that length to
halve their match. That extra half-
point made it a clear-cut win for
Europe, 14 1/2-13 1/2.
Woods and Stricker, the anchors
in the lineup, didnt win a single
match at Medinah.
Ian Poulter was the first to
embrace Olazabal, which was only
tting.
It was Poulter who gave Europe
hope Saturday evening when he
made ve straight birdies to turn a
loss into a win and swing momen-
tum in Europes favor. Poulter was
up to his st-pumping, eye-bulging
tricks again on the nal day, winning
the last two holes in his match
against U.S. Open champion Webb
Simpson.
And he had plenty of help.
Europes top ve players in the line-
up all won, including Rory McIlroy,
who was lucky to be playing.
McIlroy thought his match was at
12:25 p.m. it was listed in
Eastern time, not Central and
needed a police escort to get to the
course with 10 minutes to spare.
Then, he came up with key birdies to
hand Keegan Bradley his rst loss of
the week.
The biggest match might have
belonged to Justin Rose. He was on
the verge of losing to Phil Mickelson
when Rose holed a 12-foot par putt
to halve the 16th, made a 35-foot
birdie putt from the back of the 17th
green to win the hole, and then
closed out Mickelson with a 12-foot
birdie on the last hole.
Six of the 12 matches went to the
18th hole on Sunday. The Americans
won only one of them.
The Americans also rallied from a
four-point decit to win in 1999 at
Brookline. This was different,
though. The Americans won big in
those early matches. At Medinah, so
many of them could have gone
either way.
It was so close, so tense, that
either side could have won the
Ryder Cup down to the very end.
Stricker made an 8-foot par putt
on the 18th, and Kaymer faced a par
putt from 6 feet to win the match. If
he missed, the Americans would get
a half-point, and Woods was leading
1-up over Molinari and in the middle
of the 18th fairway.
Kaymer, a former No. 1 and major
champion who has struggled all
year, poured it in the middle and the
celebration was on.
He could barely speak at this
point, not so much from pure emo-
tion but having to scream over the
crowd behind him. Players were
hugging and crying, and the small
European contingent that had been
drowned out all week was serenad-
ing themselves with what has
become the theme song of the Ryder
Cup.
Ole, ole, ole, ole, they sang mer-
rily, even as the teams prepared for
the closing ceremony.
Europe now has won seven of the
last nine Ryder Cups, and even more
remarkable about this comeback is
that they did it on the road.
Davis Love III became the rst
U.S. captain to sit every player at
least once before Sunday, wanting
them to be fresh for the decisive day.
Instead, the Americans faltered at
the end especially Jim Furyk and
Stricker, two of his captains picks.
The plan worked the rst two
days, he said. It just didnt work
today.
The only U.S. points came from
Dustin Johnson, who went 3-0 in
this Ryder Cup, Zach Johnson and
unheralded Jason Dufner.
Were all kind of stunned, Love
said. We know what it feels like
now from the 99 Ryder Cup. Its a
little bit shocking.

A two-time NL Cy Young Award winner,
Lincecum set career-worsts with a 5.18 ERA
and 23 homers allowed. He was 3-10 before
the All-Star break and 7-6 after it.
The Giants had only three regular starters in
their lineup as Bochy gave several players the
day off. Among those sitting out was catcher
Buster Posey, a strong MVP candidate who
leads the race for the NL batting title with a
.337 average.
Trailing 5-2, the Giants scored two runs in
the eighth off relievers Luke Gregerson and
Joe Hatcher before Dale Thayer came on with
one out and runners on rst and second. He
struck out Joaquin Arias and pinch-hitter
Pablo Sandoval.
Lincecum pitched well until walking

games of Texas. The Rangers were playing
Game 2 of a doubleheader at home Sunday
night against the Angels.
The two-time reigning AL champion
Rangers come to the Coliseum for the nal
three games starting Monday with the divi-
sion crown still up for grabs.
Oakland (91-68) leads Los Angeles by 2 1/2
games for the second AL wild card.
Cespedes sent a 1-2 pitch from Shawn
Kelley (2-4) towering into the left-eld seats
for his 23rd homer. He keyed another dramat-
ic victory for the As a day after Moss hit a
three-run drive in the 10th inning of
Oaklands 14th walkoff win.
Josh Reddick connected with a two-run
shot for his team-leading 32nd homer two bat-
ters later as the As made it a sweep.
Surprising Oakland, with its energetic ros-
ter of rookies, has hit 20 home runs in its last
nine games and has a majors-best 110 since
the All-Star break.
But the As will have to wait at least one
more day to secure a playoff berth. The
Angels kept their hopes alive by rallying in
the ninth to win the opener of the double-
header at Texas.
Oakland dropped its magic number to two
for clinching the clubs rst playoff berth
since 2006. The As were swept that year by
the Tigers in four games of the AL champi-
onship series.
Sean Doolittle (2-1) pitched a perfect eighth
for the win. Grant Balfour nished for his
22nd save.
Kyle Seager and Justin Smoak each hit RBI
singles in the third as Seattle tied it. The
Mariners were 0 for 17 with runners in scor-
ing position this series before Carlos
Triunfels second-inning single. But Smoak
was thrown out at home as the As saved a run.
Milone gave way to Pat Neshek with two
outs in the fth and Casper Wells on third
with a triple. But Neshek was done after walk-
ing Jesus Montero on four pitches.
Jerry Blevins relieved and retired Smoak on
a grounder in which third baseman Josh
Donaldson made a lunging, run-saving stop.
All-Star Ryan Cook allowed Trayvon
Robinsons leadoff single in the seventh, then
struck out the side.
Charlie Furbush relieved Seattle starter
Erasmo Ramirez after a one-out single to Seth
Smith in the seventh. After pinch-hitter Derek
Norris struck out, Cliff Pennington walked
and Jemile Weeks entered to pinch run for
Smith at second.
But Coco Crisp hit a high y ball to right on
the rst pitch to end the inning.
Then, Cespedes delivered.
As starter Tommy Milone allowed a leadoff
double to Franklin Gutierrez to start the game
but got out of it unscathed. The left-hander,
whose 13 wins are already an Oakland rookie
record, allowed two runs and nine hits in 4 2-
3 innings. He struck out three and didnt sur-
render a walk.
Gutierrez, the Seattle center elder, left the
game before the bottom of the third with
tightness in his left groin after batting in the
top half. Gutierrez, who missed Fridays
series opener after crashing into the wall a day
earlier at Anaheim, hit a pair of doubles and
scored a run following an 0-for-5 day
Saturday.
When Crisp drew a leadoff walk in the
third, it ended a 16-inning streak without a
free pass for Ramirez. The right-hander
walked four to double his total in eight major
league starts.
NOTES: Cespedes hit his fth homer vs.
the Mariners in the seventh inning or later.
And Oakland won the season series 12-7. ...
AS
A replay review conrmed that Holmes had
fumbled. Trainers helped him off, and he was
not putting any weight on the leg. Holmes was
then was carted to the locker room.
Ryan said Friday that the Jets would wait to
put Revis on injured reserve until he has sur-
gery in a few weeks, keeping him available in
case New York goes to the Super Bowl.
If the Jets play like this the rest of the way,
getting to the playoffs will be a tall task.
Alex Smith was efcient, going 12 of 21 for
143 yards and no touchdowns, but more
importantly, no interceptions. The 49ers rolled
up 245 yards on the ground.
Ive never given up that many yards in my
life, an angry Ryan said after the game.
Sanchez had another poor game for the Jets,
going 13 of 29 for 103 yards and an intercep-
tion. New York also nished with just 45 yards
rushing.
The wildcat-style offense worked early
but for the 49ers and not Tim Tebow and the
Jets.
Kaepernick put the 49ers up 7-0 early in the
second quarter, taking a direct snap and run-
ning untouched off left end for a 7-yard touch-
down. Kaepernick also had a 17-yard run ear-
lier in the game.
On the Jets next possession, Tebow threw
his rst pass with New York, a short throw
over the middle to tight end Dedrick Epps,
who was upended immediately by Dashon
Goldson as the ball came loose. Rogers recov-
ered it, and the fumble call was upheld by
video review. Epps injured his right knee on
the play.
With just over a minute left in the rst half,
the 49ers were aggressive despite starting the
drive at their 26. A 23-yard catch by Vernon
Davis on rst down got things rolling, and San
Francisco ended the half on David Akers 36-
yard eld goal.
Boos and some chants of Tee-boww! Tee-
boww! rang out as the Jets went three-and-
out for the second straight possession in the
second half.

By Eddie Pells
DENVER After throwing yet
another touchdown on a play that
worked exactly as it was drawn up,
Peyton Manning ran to the end
zone and head-butted the lucky
receiver, running back Lance Ball.
That was about as rough as things
got for Manning on Sunday an
afternoon he spent piling on in the
second half instead of catching up.
Off to a fast start for the rst time
as a Bronco, Manning led Denver
to three third-quarter touchdowns
in a 37-6 rout over the Oakland
Raiders the rst time Denver has
beaten its AFC West rival at home
since 2007.
Denver (2-2) outscored the
Raiders 27-0 in the second half.
Hes getting more comfortable,
coach John Fox said. Lets not for-
get he didnt play for over a year
and this is a new team, new coach-
ing staff, new city, new eld, new
everything for him. The type of guy
he is, hes going to get better and
better.
Picking and poking with short
crossing routes and screen passes
against a depleted Oakland defense,
Manning nished with 338 yards
and three scores. For the second
straight game, he didnt throw an
interception. Last week, he set a
career high with 26 incompletions.
This week, he threw eight, with 30
completions.
Willis McGahee finished with
112 yards rushing for the Broncos
for his 32nd career 100-yard game,
the most of any active player.
Demaryius Thomas had 103 yards
receiving. This marked the first
time the Broncos have had a 300-
yard passer and 100-yard rusher
and receiver since opening day in
2007.
The Broncos didnt punt only
the fth time thats happened in
franchise history.
Nothing magic I could share
with you, Manning said, when
asked about Denvers quick start to
the second half.
The Broncos started the rst half
quickly, too.
Manning led them to their first
o p e n i n g - q u a r t e r
touchdown of the sea-
son an 11-play, 80-
yard drive on the
games first posses-
sion that included
drive-sustaining completions on
third-and-6 and fourth-and-1. He
capped it with a 22-yard touch-
down pass zipped high through
triple coverage to Joel Dreessen,
who snatched it on the dead run.
Shortly after that, Manning
answered a lot of questions about
his arm strength, rolling to his
right, stopping on a dime, leaving
his feet and throwing across his
body for a 23-yard completion to
Thomas. That set up a eld goal
and a 10-3 lead.
The Broncos gained 101 more
yards than the Raiders (1-3) in the
rst half, but only led 10-6 going
into the locker room, thanks in part
to a Thomas fumble after a 40-yard
reception and kicker Matt Praters
misre on a pass to left guard Zane
Beadles on a fake eld goal.
Maybe give Manning-Stokley a
chance before Prater-Beadles,
Manning joked.
Easy to laugh about given how
the second half went.
Manning drove the Broncos 79
and 63 yards for third-quarter
touchdowns, capping one drive
with a short pass that Eric Decker
took in for a 17-yard touchdown
and the other with a similar 14-yard
connection with Ball, which
brought Manning into the end zone
for the celebration. There was also
an 18-yard drive thanks to David
Brutons deflection of Shane
Lechlers punt.
By the time the third quarter was
over, the Broncos led 31-6. Their
21 points were 14 more than theyd
scored in the third quarters of their
rst three games combined.
Yes, these Broncos looked much
different than the Broncos who fell
behind by 20 the last two weeks to
Atlanta and Houston, then rallied
late, but came away with six-point
losses.
Yeah, its clicking, McGahee
said. We lost to two great teams. It
wasnt like it was an easy walk we
were supposed to breeze through.
The Raiders have now been
outscored 55-7 in the third quarter
this season.

LOS ANGELES Matt Kemp
has regained his home-run stroke,
the Dodgers keep winning, and yet it
still might not be enough to eke into
the playoffs.
Josh Beckett earned his rst victo-
ry in his last ve starts and the
Dodgers backed him with three
homers, beating Colorado 7-1
Sunday for their fth straight win to
stay in contention for an NL wild-
card spot.
This shows what type of club we
can be, manager Don Mattingly
said.
Kemp, Luis Cruz and A.J. Ellis
each hit two-run homers as the
Dodgers remained two games behind
St. Louis for the second wild card.
The Cardinals beat Washington 10-4.
We still know theres hope,
Kemp said. Theres a plan for
everything and hopefully our plan is
to make it to the postseason. The way
were playing I would like our
chances.
The Dodgers have their rst ve-
game winning streak in more than
two months. They end the regular
season with a three-game series
against the NL West champion San
Francisco Giants starting Monday at
home.
Weve always played San
Francisco pretty good. Its going to
be a hard-fought battle, Kemp said.
We win out and Cincinnati plays a
good St. Louis team, hopefully they
sweep them or get two from them.
Beckett (2-3) allowed one run and
six hits in six innings, struck out ve
and walked three for his rst victory
since Sept. 1 against Arizona. The
right-hander had received two or
fewer runs in ve of his previous six
starts with the team, which acquired
him in a trade with Boston.
All we can do is take care of
what we do, Beckett said. We put
ourselves in this hole, but were try-
ing to climb out. Were going to
need a little help.
Andrew Browns homer leading
off the fourth was the Rockies only
run in the three-game series that
ended with their ninth consecutive
road loss. Until he homered,
Colorado had gone 26 innings with-
out scoring.
Jorge De La Rosa (0-2) gave up
four runs and five hits in four
innings, struck out three and walked
none in his third start since Tommy
John surgery kept him out for nearly
16 months.
The Rockies have played as many
as seven rookies at once, giving man-
ager Jim Tracy an early look at the
future.
But when you bring them here to
Los Angeles and play against a club
that like this, were not quite up to
speed with that just yet, he said.
But theres a lot of youth and vital-
ity on this club and theres still grow-
ing to do. Im not the least bit disap-
pointed in them. They didnt back off
in this series. They played their rear
ends off yesterday and they played
hard today, but you cant catch balls
when theyre hit over the fence. You
couldnt do that with a veteran club.
Shane Victorino opened the fourth
with a single before Kemps 23rd
homer and third in two days cleared
the wall in right eld, putting the
Dodgers ahead for good, 2-1.
Dodgers win 5th in row, stay in wild-card race
NEW YORK The NHL and the
players association met for a third
straight day Sunday, and again avoid-
ed the troublesome money issues that
are fueling the ongoing lockout.
We did not discuss core economic
issues, as was the plan, NHLPA spe-
cial counsel Steve Fehr said after
meeting for ve hours with the NHL.
We discussed health and safety, drug
testing, including more discussion of
drug testing, medical care etc. Also a
number of things in the CBA legal
area of player movements.
The drug policy was a key compo-
nent of talks Friday when the sides
got together for the rst time since
the NHL imposed the lockout on
Sept. 16.
On Saturday, the sides focused on
clarications of denitions of what
makes up hockey-related revenue
a pot that exceeded $3 billion.
It was a productive day. We made
some progress in some areas, Fehr
said Sunday. I would say its good
that we were talking. Its true that we
couldve done this last week or a
week before or a week before that,
but its a lot better than doing it three
weeks from now.
Because of difculty in nding
common ground on how to split up
that money, the league and union
instead concentrated all weekend on
secondary issues that will also be
included in any new agreement.
I hate to sound like a broken
record, but we need some movement
on the economic issues. We need
some movement on the system
issues, NHL Deputy Commissioner
Bill Daly said.

Cho expects
punishment
in skate ap
KEARNS, Utah Olympic
bronze medalist Simon Cho said
Sunday he expects to be suspended
or banned because of skate tamper-
ing allegations.
The reigning national short track
champion, Cho made the comments
after failing to earn a spot on the fall
U.S. World Cup team. He declined
to say if the allegations are true, but
is preparing for the worst.
The allegations are part of a scan-
dal involving U.S. coach Jae Su
Chun, who is accused in a demand
for arbitration of ordering Cho to
sabotage a Canadian rivals skate at
last years World Team
Championships. A dozen national
team members also have accused
Chun of unchecked verbal, physical
and psychological abuse.
Chun has denied the charges and
remains on administrative leave
pending an investigation by an inde-
pendent agency.
On Sunday, 10 racers secured
spots on the World Cup team.
Jessica Smith, Sarah Chen, Lana
Gehring, Emily Scott and Alyson
Dudek qualied for the women. JR
Celski, Chris Creveling, Kyle Carr,
Jeff Simon and Travis Jayner quali-
ed for the men.
ATLANTA Matt Bryant
kicked a 40-yard eld goal with 5
seconds remaining and the Atlanta
Falcons remained unbeaten, rally-
ing past the Carolina Panthers 30-28
on Sunday.
The Falcons (4-0) are off to their
best start since 2004, when they
reached the NFC championship
game. Despite taking a career-high
seven sacks, Matt Ryan threw three
touchdown passes for Atlanta.
Bryant added three eld goals.
The Panthers (1-3) nearly
clinched it on Cam Newtons run
with just over a minute remaining,
but he fumbled the ball while trying
to dive for the necessary yardage.
Carolina recovered and wound up
punting, downing the ball at the
Atlanta 1. But Ryan immediately
got the Falcons out of the hole,
throwing a 59-yard pass to Roddy
White.
Four plays later, Bryant won it.
TEXANS 38, TITANS 14
HOUSTON Danieal Manning

I
m going down the bunny trail again.
Last week, I wrote about big buns;
specically, why we like them. This
weekend, noon-4 p.m. both days, were show-
ing our love for buns of all sizes. Slide both of
your cheeks in for our rst annual Get Your
Hands On Our Buns Rabbit Adoption
Extravaganza. Hop up to the second oor of
our Center for Compassion and head to the
corner suite. Meet bunnies of all sizes avail-
able for adoption. The two-day, free event has
more hooks than a tackle box. For starters,
were discounting all rabbit adoptions by 50
percent; we dropped the fee to $20, which
includes spay/neuter. Weve also knocked 10
percent off all rabbit starter kits and caging
inside our centers retail store. If you know
very little about bunnies but have always been
intrigued, this weekends event is for you.
Well have rabbit experts there to explain
bunny care, handling, grooming, exercise and
dietary needs. Are loads of carrots good for
your bun? Youll nd out. Well also have spe-
cial demonstrations. Do you know rabbits can
be litter box trained? Well explain how.
Bunnies need to have their nails trimmed.
Well be demonstrating this important proce-
dure many owners fear. For those into experi-
mentation, well have rabbit massage demos. I
couldnt tell you if they prefer Swedish or
Shiatsu, but youll nd out this weekend.
What happens when you photograph your
white-furred, red-eyed bunny, then use red-
eye reduction on your digital camera? I dont
have a clue, but we might experiment with
that, too. Lastly, just for the heck of it, the top
10 rabbits in pop culture, in no particular
order: Bugs Bunny, Jessica Rabbit, the
Velveteen Rabbit, Rabbit (from Winnie the
Pooh), the Trix rabbit, Thumper, Peter
Cottontail, the Easter Bunny, Energizer
Bunny, with a nod to the Playboy Bunny.
Sorry, Eddie Rabbitt. You may love a rainy
night, but you dont make my list.

LOS ANGELES Adam
Sandlers monster mash-up Hotel
Transylvania has brought the
weekend box ofce back to life after
a late-summer slump.
The animated comedy from Sony
Pictures debuted at No. 1 with $43
million, one of the strongest starts
ever for a movie opening in
September, according to studio esti-
mates Sunday.
Hotel Transylvania set a new
high for September debuts in terms
of actual dollars, beating the previ-
ous record of $35.7 million for
2002s Sweet Home Alabama.
But factoring in todays higher
admission prices, Sweet Home
Alabama sold more tickets.
This weekends box ofce was
further strengthened by a solid No.
2 debut for another Sony release,
Bruce Willis and Joseph Gordon-
Levitts time-travel thriller
Looper, which took in $21.2 mil-
lion.
Hollywoods overall grosses rose
for the rst time in a month com-
pared to the same weekend last
year. Revenues totaled $120 mil-
lion, up 21 percent from the same
weekend a year ago, when
Dolphin Tale led with $13.9 mil-
lion, according to box-ofce track-
er Hollywood.com.
Sony really kind of saved the
day here, turning things around
after a full month of less-than-stel-
lar box ofce, said Hollywood.com
analyst Paul Dergarabedian. The
post-summer period didnt exactly
set the world on re.
Its rare for one studio to open
two wide releases over the same
weekend, but Sony had two movies
that complemented each other well
without overlapping their audi-
ences.
Locking up the family crowds,
the PG-rated Hotel Transylvania
features Sandler providing the voice
of Count Dracula as proprietor of a
resort catering to Frankenstein, the
Wolfman and other monsters.
The R-rated Looper pulled in
male action fans. Set in 2044, the
lm stars Gordon-Levitt as a hit
man assigned to kill victims sent
back in time including his future
self (Bruce Willis).
The previous weekends No. 1
movie, Open Road Films police
story End of Watch, fell to No. 3
with $8 million, raising its domestic
total to $26.2 million.
In narrower release, Universal
Pictures music tale Pitch Perfect
opened strongly at No. 6 with $5.2
million. The movie stars Anna
Kendrick as a college freshman who
joins an a cappella singing team and
livens up the groups conservative
style.
Playing in 335 theaters, Pitch
Perfect averaged an impressive
$15,560 a cinema. That compared
to an average of $12,840 in 3,349
theaters for Hotel Transylvania
and $7,086 in 2,992 cinemas for
Looper.
The weekends other new wide
release, Maggie Gyllenhaal and
Viola Davis school drama Wont
Back Down, opped at No. 10 with
$2.7 million, averaging just $1,074
in 2,515 theaters. The movie centers
on two mothers who organize a
campaign to save a failing elemen-
tary school.
Hotel Transylvania checks in with $43M debut
1.Hotel Transylvania, $43 mil-
lion ($8.1 million international).
2. Looper, $21.2 million ($8.5
million international).
3.End of Watch,$8 million.
4.Trouble with the Curve,$7.5
million.
5. House at the End of the

PITTSBURGH The Kremlin
is watching, European nations are
rebelling, and some suspect
Moscow is secretly bankrolling a
campaign to derail the Wests strate-
gic plans.
Its not some Cold War movie; its
about the U.S. boom in natural gas
drilling, and the political implica-
tions are enormous.
Like falling dominoes, the
drilling process called hydraulic
fracturing, or fracking, is shaking
up world energy markets from
Washington to Moscow to Beijing.
Some predict what was once
unthinkable: that the U.S. wont
need to import natural gas in the
near future, and that Russia could
be the big loser.
This is where everything is being
turned on its head, said Fiona Hill,
an expert on Russia at the
Brookings Institution, a think tank
in Washington. Their days of dom-
inating the European gas markets
are gone.
Any nations that trade in energy
could potentially gain or lose.
The relative fortunes of the
United States, Russia, and China
and their ability to exert inuence in
the world are tied in no small
measure to global gas develop-
ments, Harvard Universitys
Kennedy School of Government
concluded in a report this summer.
The story began to unfold a few
years ago, as advances in drilling
opened up vast reserves of gas
buried in deep shale rock, such as
the Marcellus formation in
Pennsylvania and the Barnett, in
Texas.
Experts had been predicting that
the U.S. was running out of natural
gas, but then shale gas began to
flood the market, and prices
plunged.
Russia had been exporting vast
quantities to Europe and other coun-
tries for about $10 per unit, but the
current price in the U.S. is now
about $3 for the same quantity. That
kind of math got the attention of
energy companies, and politicians,
around the world.
Some European governments
began to envision a future with less
Russian natural gas. In 2009, Russia
had cut off gas shipments via
Ukraine for nearly two weeks amid
a price and payment dispute, and
more than 15 European countries
were sent scrambling to nd alter-
native sources of energy.
The financial stakes are huge.
Russias Gazprom energy corpora-
tion, which is state-controlled, had
$44 billion in profits last year.
Gazprom, based in Moscow, is the
worlds largest producer of natural
gas and exports much of it to other
countries.
But last month Gazprom halted
plans to develop a new arctic gas
eld, saying it couldnt justify the
investment now, and its most recent
nancial report showed prots had
dropped by almost 25 percent.
The U.S. presidential campaigns
have already addressed the strategic
potential.
A campaign position paper for
Republican Mitt Romney said he
will pursue policies that work to
decrease the reliance of European
nations on Russian sources of ener-
gy.
In early September, President
Barack Obama said the U.S. could
develop a hundred-year supply of
natural gas thats right beneath our
feet, which would cut our oil
imports in half by 2020 and support
more than 600,000 new jobs in nat-
ural gas alone.
Polands Ministry of the
Environment wrote in a statement to
The Associated Press that an
increased production of natural gas
from shale formations in Europe
will limit the import via pipelines
from Algeria and Russia.
The issue has reached the highest
levels of the Kremlin, too.
Hill, of the Brookings think tank,
heard President Vladimir Putin
speak in late 2011 at a Moscow
gathering of academics and media.
She said in a blog post that the
only time I thought that he became
truly engaged was when he wanted
to explain to us how dangerous
fracking was.
But one top Gazprom executive
said shale gas will actually help the
country in the long run. Sergei
Komlev, the head of export con-
tracts and pricing, acknowledged
the recent disruptions but predicted
that the U.S. fuels wouldnt make
their way to Europe on any impor-
tant scale.
Although we heard that the
motive of these activities was to
decrease dependence of certain
countries on Gazprom gas, the end
results of these efforts will be utter-
ly favorable to us, Komlev wrote in
an email to the AP. The reason for
remaining tranquil is that we do not
expect the currently abnormally low
prices in the USA to last for long.
In other words, if the market-
place for natural gas expands,
Russia will have even more poten-
tial customers because it has
tremendous reserves.
Gas drilling boom rattles Russia

WASHINGTON Anyone puzzled by the
most recent U.S. economic data has reason for
feeling so: The numbers sketch a sometimes
contradictory picture of the economy.
Weve learned that:
Consumers are more condent but arent
spending much. Fewer people are losing jobs,
but not many are being hired. Home and stock
prices are up, but workers pay is trailing ina-
tion. Auto sales have jumped, but manufactur-
ing is faltering.
This is what an economy stuck in a slow-
growth rut can look like, and its a focal point
of the presidential campaign. The U.S. econo-
my grew at a scant 1.3 percent annual rate in
the April-June quarter too weak to reduce
high unemployment. And most economists
foresee little if any improvement the rest of
the year.
Many Americans are reducing debt loads
instead of spending freely. Builders are bor-
rowing less and constructing homes at a mod-
est pace. Businesses are being cautious about
hiring and expanding.
In the long run, reduced debts and rising
home and stock prices will help rebuild
household wealth, boost consumer spending
and spur job growth. But its taking time.
The U.S. outlook could best be described
as one of near-term weakness and long-term
strength, says Chris Jones, an economist at
TD Bank.
Here are some of the mixed signals recent
economic reports have sent with the election
now ve weeks away:
HOUSING
After plunging when the housing bubble
burst, home prices are nally rising steadily,
according to the Standard & Poors/Case-
Shiller index. The index rose in July com-
pared with a year earlier. That was the second
straight year-over-year gain. Still, the annual
pace of new-home sales dipped in August
from a two-year high in July. At the same
time, sales were nearly 28 percent above the
level a year earlier.
The Good News: For most Americans, a
home is their most valuable asset. As its value
increases, homeowners grow wealthier and
The U.S. economy flashing

Patient Testimonials
During the 1 1/2 years of having
constant daily lower back pain and
spasms, I took anti-infammatory
and pain medication, but nothing
helped lessen the pain. When an MRI
showed that I had two degenerative
discs, I went through a series of
lumbar epidural injections without
success. The only thing that made
the pain and spasms go away was
Spinal Decompression treatments at
Crossroads Health Center. Four years
later and I am still pain-free!

Half Moon Bay area.
In 1834, Captain Don William Antonio
Richardson platted out the area in 100-vera
lots (275 square feet each). Richardson had
married a Spanish woman, Dona Maria
Antonia Martinez, so he was eligible to pur-
chase Mexican property. He, his wife and
three children pitched a tent on June 25,
1835 at the corner of Washington and Grant
streets (827 Grant St.). Three months later,
he paid $25 for the lot and built a more sub-
stantial house and a fence to protect his fam-
ily from the mountain lions and bears.
In 1844, the Mexican governor, Jose
Figueroa, ordered that a Custom House (56
feet long, 22.5 feet wide) be built at the cor-
ner of Brenham Place and Washington
Street. He had four rooms, two long veran-
das and a tile roof.
At 6 a.m., July 9 1846, the men of the USS
Portsmouth were ordered to breakfast then
they were to dress in clean white frocks, blue
pants, black hats and shoes and prepare for
muster. Word had come to Captain John
Montgomery that the American flag had
been raised in Monterey and Commodore
John Slope had ordered Montgomery to raise
the flag in Yerba Buena. Marines under the
command of Lt. Watson were to accompany
Montgomery and the group. After landing at
Clarks Point (Yerba Buena cove) the group
marched to the Customs house accompanied
by the tune of Yankee Doodle. With 30 or
40 people of all nations looking on, Captain
Montgomery declared Alta California in
control by the American government.
By Jan. 30, 1847, 20 buildings clustered
around Portsmouth Square. Four of them
were shops, one was a hide warehouse, one
a mule-powered gristmill, one a wash house,
two doubled as hotels and tap rooms and one
was a saloon.
The first public school was built in the
Square in 1847, the first one in California.
On May 11, 1848, the discovery of gold was
announced from the veranda. The first
Admission Day celebration was held Oct.
29, 1850 when California became the 31st
state. The first American flag was raised
here in the square that would eventually be
named after the USS Portsmouth that
anchored in the Bay and took control of
Yerba Buena. The pueblo was renamed San
Francisco in 1847 by the alcalde
Washington A. Bartlett (as the mayor was
called) and the city had 157 buildings sur-
rounding the plaza.

typically feel more condent. That tends to spark
more consumer spending the U.S. economys
main fuel. Rising prices also lead more people to
sell homes, further energizing the housing mar-
ket. More sales would likely spur further home-
building.
The Bad News: Home construction now plays
too small a role in the economy to provide much
lift. It made up only 2.4 percent of the economy
in the April-June quarter. That compares with a
peak of 6.3 percent at the end of 2005 and a
longer-run average of just under 5 percent.
Housing would therefore need to be on steroids
to provide a major boost to growth, Paul Dales,
an economist at Capital Economics, said in a
note to clients.
Looking Ahead: Record-low mortgage rates
are likely to keep homes affordable. The Federal
Reserves decision to spend $40 billion on mort-
gage bonds each month until the recovery accel-
erates should keep rates low and increase home
sales. Rising builder condence also suggests
that construction will keep growing. But many
Americans lack the credit to qualify for a mort-
gage. Or they cant afford the larger down pay-
ments now required.
CONSUMER CONFIDENCE
Americans are feeling better about the econo-
my despite chronically weak job gains and pay
levels that lag ination. The private Conference
Boards index of consumer condence is at a
seven-month peak. A survey of consumer senti-
ment by the University of Michigan has reached
its second-highest point in nearly ve years. Both
surveys found that consumers are lukewarm
about current economic conditions but more
optimistic about the future.
The Good News: When consumers are con-
dent, theyre generally more likely to spend. Both
surveys also found that consumers expect hiring
to pick up.
The Bad News: You cant spend condence.
Rising condence doesnt always lead to higher
spending. And when an economy is healthy, con-
sumer condence is usually much higher than it
is now.
Looking Ahead: Without more hiring and
stronger pay raises, the recent gains in consumer
condence might not last.
BUSINESS CONFIDENCE
Businesses appear to be less condent than
consumers. A survey of chief executives of large
U.S. companies has found their outlook to be at
its most pessimistic level since the fall of 2009
just after the recession ofcially ended. Orders
for long-lasting factory goods plummeted in
August. In part, that reects Europes nancial
and economic crises, which have reduced
demand for U.S. exports. Six European countries
are in recession. More are expected to follow.
The Good News: A plunge in orders for com-
mercial aircraft caused most of the drop in
demand for factory goods. That category of
orders uctuates from month to month. It will
likely rebound. In the meantime, orders that
reect business investment plans are up.
The Bad News: Business spending on equip-
ment and software has been a big source of eco-
nomic growth in recent years. Orders for such
goods have dropped sharply in the past three
months, threatening to further slow U.S. growth.
Looking Ahead: Many corporate executives
lack condence in part because of fears that the
U.S. economy will fall off a scal cliff early
next year. Thats when tax increases and deep
spending cuts will take effect unless Congress
reaches a budget deal. Those changes could
throw the economy into recession. But business
spending and hiring could pick up if the budget
issues are resolved.
CONSUMER SPENDING
Americans spent more in August. But that
was mainly because they had to pay more for
gas and some other items. Adjusted for ina-
tion, consumer spending barely rose in August.
Thats been true for most of this year.
The Good News: Americans were willing to
spend more, even if much of it went in the gas
tank. Consumers were even willing to save less
in order to spend more. Thats another sign of
condence.
The Bad News: Income failed to keep up with
ination, which is why consumers had to dip
into savings. That isnt sustainable for very
long. The national average retail price for gas is
$3.79 a gallon, nearly 50 cents higher than in
early July and a record for late September. If gas
prices stay high, Americans would have less to
spend on other goods, from cars and furniture to
electronics and vacations, that fuel economic
growth.
Looking Ahead: Spending will likely grow
sluggishly without bigger increases in workers
pay and perhaps a moderation in gas prices.
JOBS
The number of people applying for unem-
ployment benets fell sharply in the week end-
ing Sept. 22. That suggests that the weak job
market could strengthen. Employers added just
96,000 jobs in August barely enough to keep
up with the growth of the working-age popula-
tion. The unemployment rate did fall to 8.1 per-
cent from 8.3 percent. But that was because
many people gave up looking for work, so they
were no longer counted as unemployed.
The Good News: Weekly applications for
unemployment benets track layoffs. So the
drop indicates that companies arent laying off
many people.
The Bad News: Falling layoffs arent trans-
lating into healthy job growth. The pace of lay-
offs in July was the lowest in a decade even
lower than when the economy was booming.
Yet employers are hiring at a subpar pace.
Looking Ahead: The September jobs report
will come out Friday. Economists think the econ-
omy will show a modest gain of about 100,000
jobs. Given employers anxiety about the U.S.
scal cliff and Europes economic crisis, few
expect a signicant pickup in hiring soon.

Pixcisely allows crews to take a photo that can
be referenced later. The original photo can be
made see-through, to a degree, to allow for
those recreating the set to get things exactly
right.
Thodos compared it to tracing something.
While the app just launched last month,
Thodos got the idea as an intern in 2011 for a
production company working in Los Angeles.
Often scenes were shot out of order requiring
sets to be taken down and recreated often.
I noticed the art department and make-up
assistants using their iPhones to take pictures
of the sets but the props werent always put
back in the same spot which bothered me
because I knew after the editing process that
the sets/props would appear to be inconsis-
tent, Thodos said.
He decided the situation could be helped by
an app. But Thodos had no experience build-
ing an app. Despite this, he turned to online
resources and a developer for help. After
about a year, he had his product.
Creating the transparent picture was the
most difcult part.
I initially came up with an idea that
worked but would only help you remember
where certain things were without any pic-
tures, so I kept thinking until I came up with
the idea to show everything in the picture
taken by making the picture transparent over
the phones camera display where everything
could visually line up, he said.
The solution was a transparency bar to be
able to see both the original image and the
current set.
While Thodos was inspired to make the app
for the entertainment world, he noted it can be
handy for many people. Thodos, for example,
has four older siblings. Snapping a quick
photo before heading out can mean knowing
whether someone was in his room. Parents
going out of town could also use it to keep
tabs on the liquor cabinet. Or, the photos
could make it easy to recreate the perfect
Christmas decorations or store display, he
said.
Thodos is now working on nalizing an
Android version of his app, which he expect-
ed to release in October. Development does
go a bit slower when school is in session.
When not working on his app, Thodos likes
to stay busy at school. This year, hes the class
president. Thodos is also busy focusing on
college with a hope to attend school in
Southern California to study communication.

SACRAMENTO Arnold
Schwarzenegger says his lifelong penchant for
secrecy and ability to put his emotions on
deep freeze led him to keep many secrets
from his wife Maria Shriver, eventually caus-
ing the dissolution of their marriage when he
was forced to admit he fathered a child with
the familys housekeeper years earlier.
Throughout their strained 25-year marriage,
Schwarzenegger says he did not want to tell
Shriver about crucial life decisions such as
major heart surgery and running for California
governor because he feared she would overre-
act and tell her well-connected family and
friends.
In his new autobiography, Total Recall:
My Unbelievably True Life Story, and in an
interview airing Sunday on 60 Minutes, the
former California governor acknowledges that
his inability to be honest with people has hurt
those closest to him.
Thats the way I handle things. And it
always has worked. But, I mean it does not
its not the best thing for people around me
because I sometimes some information I
just keep to myself, Schwarzenegger tells
reporter Lesley Stahl on 60 Minutes.
The former Mr. Universe traces his detach-
ment to his bodybuilding days, where he says
emotions make athletes lose.
So I became an expert in living in denial,
says the Hollywood action star and former
governor.
Schwarzenegger praises Shriver throughout
the book as a partner and friend who was
essential to his success, but also admits to
keeping her in the dark about many career
decisions. Shriver led for divorce in July.
Although he had been toying with the idea
of running for governor for more than a year,
Schwarzenegger waited until just days before
the ling deadline for the 2003 recall to dis-
cuss it with Shriver, writing in the book that he
didnt want endless conversation about it at
home.
Shriver opposed the idea, but was persuad-
ed to soften her stance by her mother, Eunice
Shriver, who told her to support her husbands
ambitions, or he might resent her for the rest
of his life. Despite that struggle, he also didnt
inform her when he decided to seek a second
term, writing that she had to read about it in
the newspaper.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- If you enter into an alli-
ance of convenience that you know wont be ideal
but has some worth, keep your expectations realistic
and you wont be disappointed.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Most of the time when
you depend upon who instead of what you know,
you are inviting disappointment. In order to cut the
mustard, you had better bring your skills to the table.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- When with a group
of friends, if you see somebody controlling the foor
and the conversation while leaving most people out,
quickly step to the fore and bring others in.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Substantial frustra-
tion can be avoided if dont allow people to focus
their effort on a situation that is already under con-
trol. Make sure everyone has the correct priorities.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- If you feel youve
been held back in your chosen feld of endeavor,
start taking measures to correct the situation. Begin
by accentuating your skills and experience, not your
contacts.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Someone you know
well might invite you to participate in a project that
looks like it has a lot of proftable potential. Maybe it
does, maybe it doesnt, but you wont know unless
you try.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- If your progress has
been impeded lately, chances are it has something
to do with the way youve been handling certain key
relationships. Make amends; it will pay off big time.

have to step in and help shoulder some of the work
assigned to another, especially if there have been
times when others had to help you in the past.

haste you do not attempt to prematurely launch an
important undertaking. Make sure that you have all
the necessary pieces at hand and ready for use.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Dont let it upset you if
a project that youre better qualifed to do then most
goes to another. Should the chosen party do a rotten
job, itll come around to you.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Even though you usually
dont let others do your thinking for you, you could be
susceptible to someone who makes a good case and
allow that person to lead you astray.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Look out for a subtle
something that could greatly help enhance your
material security. It may not jump out and announce
its presence, but youll know it when you spot it.

overlooked and made a point to apologize and
work on additional meetings in the future.
However, he said, SamTrans is not part of the
negotiations with Legacy over the actual
development and is not in a position to talk
about aspects like the environmental impact
report or mitigation measures.
Jeff Byrd, senior managing director of
Legacy Partners, did not return a call for com-
ment.
GESC members plan to come out in full
force Monday night when the San Carlos
Planning Commission will consider recom-
mending the City Council certify the projects
final environmental impact report. The
Planning Commission could also direct devel-
oper Legacy Partners to rst make changes.
The certication is not a nal greenlight on
the proposed project but is a big step in that
direction. Once certication is done, city lead-
ers can address details of the actual project.
GESC members say the nal EIR is de-
cient, failing to properly address toxins poten-
tially stirred up by the railway or adequately
pencil out how more children and cars will
affect already crowded schools and roads.
The core nding of the document is that a
development of this size has no significant
impact to the neighborhood, Fuller said.
The final EIR identified eight areas as sig-
nificant or potentially significant but con-
cluded none were unavoidable.
The GESC, though, doesnt buy it.
The EIR is riddled with inaccuracies,
Vandellos said.
Paul Magginetti, who has done researched
toxins and an arsenic-based herbicide used
on the 100-year railroad, wondered if the
consultants who put together the final EIR
did more than cursory work and said the
data must be solid before the city even con-
siders the actual project.
I just want to have some trust that the
information in the EIR is accurate,
Magginetti said.
As currently proposed, the transit village
plan would convert a 10.53-acre strip of land
within the existing Caltrain station and run-
ning parallel to the railroad corridor.
Legacys proposal envisions eight four-story
buildings with 281 housing units among a
mix of 407,298 square feet of residential,
23,797 square feet of office space and
14,326 square feet of retail space. The proj-
ect would also include 667 parking spaces
and a new SamTrans Transit Center on 4.29
acres.
Fuller said he understands the developer
may be reluctant to change the plan because
it wants to make money but that the GESCs
line in the sand is height. The project can be
three stories but four is just too much, he said.
The final EIR suggests two alternative
plans, one that would result in 40 fewer resi-
dential units and another that would reduce
the height and bulk of buildings and increase
the space between them. The nancial feasi-
bility of the rst is unknown and the second is
unt because it doesnt comply with building
codes and is a difcult design, the nal EIR
states.
But before the developer buttons down
details of the project, Fuller said the commu-
nity needs a level of assurance that their con-
cerns are incorporated and their property val-
ues protected.
The group also wants some assurances that
eminent domain wont be used on Old County
Road to accommodate high-speed rail.
SamTrans and Caltrain are convinced they
can do any work needed for electrication or
passing tracks without signicant impact on
Old County Road, Simon said.
Simon also said that the state does not have
the authority on the Caltrain right-of-way.

would have let judges declare that some
California children have more than two legal
parents and another increasing the medias
access to prison inmates.
Brown signed the vaccination bill amid
what Assemblyman Richard Pan, D-
Sacramento, called the largest national
whooping cough epidemic in 50 years.
Preventable diseases can spread not only to
those who choose not to be vaccinated, but to
those who cant be immunized including
infants, cancer patients receiving chemothera-
py, AIDS patients or those who are allergic to
vaccines, Pan said in a statement.
The new requirement will go into effect Jan.
1, 2014.
Brown said in a signing statement that the
law still allows parents to decide against hav-
ing their children vaccinated, while ensuring
that they make informed decisions about both
the risks and benets.
He directed the state Department of Public
Health to oversee the policy to make sure it
doesnt overburden parents. He also directed
the department to allow for a separate reli-
gious exemption on the waiver form, so that
people whose religious beliefs prohibit immu-
nizations wont have to get a medical profes-
sionals signature.
California Medical Association President
James Hay called the bill a huge step in the
right direction for public health.
Opponents, including former Saturday
Night Live actor Rob Schneider of Pacica,
said it infringes on parental rights and increas-
es medical costs for families.
There shouldnt be government coercion
to force parents to jump another hoop to have
to make decisions on ... whats the best inter-
est of their child, Schneider told The
Sacramento Bee earlier this month.
Among other notable bills signed into law
by the governor this fall:
Pensions: AB340 is projected to save tax-
payers billions of dollars over time by reform-
ing the states public pension system. The bill
by Assemblyman Warren Furutani, D-
Lakewood, raises retirement ages for new
employees depending on their job, caps the
annual pension payout, prohibits numerous
abuses of the system and requires higher pay-
ments from workers who are not already con-
tributing half of their retirement costs.
California also will create the nations rst
state-administered retirement savings pro-
gram for private-sector workers under
SB1234 by Sen. Kevin De Leon, D-Los
Angeles.
Workers compensation: SB863 is
designed to cut costs for businesses by $1 bil-
lion next year while increasing benets to per-
manently disabled workers by $860 million
annually. The bill by Sen. Kevin de Leon, D-
Los Angeles, limits workers compensation lit-
igation, over the objections of attorneys for
injured workers.
State parks: Several bills will keep
Californias 278 state parks operating while
improving spending oversight after parks of-
cials were caught hiding $54 million in two
special funds. The bills place a two-year
moratorium on park closures, give the parks
new ways to raise money, and require nance
ofcials to compare their annual reports on
how much money is in more than 500 special
funds.
The bills include AB1478 by Assemblyman
Bob Blumenfield, D-Woodland Hills;
AB1589 by Assemblyman Jared Huffman, D-
San Rafael; and AB1487 by the Assembly
Budget Committee.
Gay marriage: Religious ofcials who do
not want to perform gay weddings will not
have to worry about jeopardizing their non-
prot status under SB1140 by Sen. Mark
Leno, D-San Francisco.
Medical Parole: County jails could release
terminally ill or permanently incapacitated
prisoners under SB1462 by Sen. Mark Leno,
D-San Francisco. The bill lets counties use
the same compassionate release and medical
parole programs that currently can be used to
release state prison inmates before they com-
plete their sentences.

NEW YORK Neil Young, the
Black Keys, Foo Fighters and others
wowed thousands who turned out
Saturday night for a free concert in
Central Park to call attention to
poverty worldwide.
Dubbed the Global Citizen
Festival, the concert also featured
Knaan, John Legend and Band of
Horses, with Youngs performance
capping off the evening. Video of
the event was streamed worldwide
as about 60,000 music fans crowded
the parks Great Lawn, the midtown
Manhattan skyline twinkling behind
them.
Legend made a surprise appear-
ance, playing one song Imagine at
a piano on stage, a short walk from
where the songs author, John
Lennon, once lived. The ve-hour
show was a mix of tight sets from
the bands, roughly an hour each,
mixed with videos and information
from guest speakers about global
poverty-related problems like infant
mortality and polio.
Feels good to be here, Foo
Fighters lead singer Dave Grohl
told the crowd during a break
between hits like Learn to Fly,
Best of You and My Hero.
Grohl, members of the Black Keys
and others joined Young on stage
for the nale, his anthem Rockin
in the Free World.
The concert was scheduled
around the meeting of the United
Nations General Assembly in New
York this month and organizers
used an innovative approach to tick-
et distribution so that many concert-
goers were forced to learn about an
array of global problems in order to
get a ticket.
Anyone wanting free tickets had
to register at globalcitizen.org,
which then required users to watch
videos or read information about
poverty-related issues. Each time
material was consumed, users could
earn points toward a drawing for
tickets. Points were also accumulat-
ed by sharing information by way of
Twitter or Facebook.
Our social media campaign has
been off the charts, said Hugh
Evans, CEO and co-founder of the
Global Poverty Project. The
approach demonstrates a new model
for harnessing digital tools that
might be repeated for other big
events with political or social mes-
sages.
Organizers said more than 71,000
people had signed up online, result-
ing in more than 3.5 million page
views.
On average, they spent just over
six minutes consuming content or
sharing information. Nearly
200,000 pieces of information were
shared on Facebook, and just a bit
more than that on Twitter. About
170,000 people signed petitions via
the site, and there were 98,000
videos viewed to completion.
Evans said the project achieved
its goals, set out last year, of getting
more than 100,000 people to take
action related to extreme poverty
while telling a new story about the
challenges. To that end, the site con-
veys information in detailed, docu-
mentary-like accounts and uses an
array of video, graphics and stories
that are friendly for mobile and dig-
ital consumption.
Financially, he said, the project
also achieved its yearlong goal
working with an array of organiza-
tions like the U.S. Fund for
UNICEF, the Earth Institute and
Rotary International of garnering
$500 million in commitments to
help ght poverty.
So now what?
Evans said that hes hoping the
audience, built online and at the
concert, will continue efforts by
tweeting President Barack Obama
and Republican challenger Mitt
Romney to halve extreme poverty
by 2015, which is the key U.N. anti-
poverty goal. And Evans is working
on an announcement in October or
November about a major rock
band getting involved with the
anti-poverty efforts.

NEW YORK A 25-year-old
man initially arrested Sunday on an
assault charge after Lindsay Lohan
claimed he grabbed her in a New
York hotel room in an argument over
cellphone images was freed hours
later and his arrest voided when the
charge could not be substantiated,
law enforcement ofcials said.
Instead, Christian LaBella of
Valley Village, Calif., and Lohan
were ling harassment complaints
with police against each other after
they were interviewed by police
about their run-in, law enforcement
ofcials said.
Afterward, Lohan publicist Steve
Honig expressed outrage that police
did not charge LaBella.
We think its
both distressing
and outrageous,
he said in a tele-
phone interview.
Lindsey was
assaulted and
there needs to be
a consequence
for that.
LaBella could
not be reached for comment.
LaBella was taken into custody
about 6 a.m. after a 911 call came
from the swank W Hotel in
Manhattans Union Square where
Lohan apparently pulled the re
alarm, the two ofcials said. The
ofcials were not authorized to speak
publicly and spoke to the Associated
Press on condition of anonymity.
A former congressional aide,
LaBella was arrested on a misde-
meanor assault charge but released
later Sunday. The charge could not
be substantiated so the arrest will be
voided, the ofcials said.
The paperwork was being com-
pleted on cross-harassment com-
plaints, which are considered a viola-
tion, and no other legal action would
be taken, the ofcials said.
Lohan and LaBella met hours ear-
lier at a night club, though it was
unclear whether they previously
knew each other, the ofcials said.
They went back to her room, when
she noticed the cellphone photos of
her on his phone and grabbed the
device, the ofcials said.
She claimed LaBella grabbed her
and threw her, but later he said she
had forcefully taken his phone, the
ofcials said. Lohan was injured but
not hospitalized, Honig said in a
statement.
Lindsay has spoken with police
and is fully cooperating with the
investigation, he said after
LaBellas arrest.
This is Lohans second run-in with
law enforcement in as many weeks
in New York City. The 26-year-old
was accused last week of clipping a
pedestrian with her car outside a
nightclub and driving away. She was
given a ticket and was scheduled to
appear in court Oct. 23. Honig has
said he expects those allegations to
be proven false.
The actress was also involved in a
car accident in California this sum-
mer that sent her and an assistant to a
hospital, but didnt result in serious
injuries for anyone. The accident
remains under investigation.
In May, she was cleared of allega-
tions that she struck a Hollywood
nightclub manager with her car.
Lohan remains on informal proba-
tion for taking a necklace from a
jewelry store without permission last
year. That means she doesnt have to
check in with a judge or probation
ofcer but could face a jail term if
arrested again.
Lohan recently filmed The
Canyons, an indie lm written by
Less Than Zero and American
Psycho author Bret Easton Ellis.
Steve Tomaszewski, a spokesman
for Illinois Rep. John Shimkus, con-
firmed Sunday afternoon that
LaBella has worked for the con-
gressman in his Washington ofce.
Tomaszewski said no one from the
Republicans ofce had been con-
tacted by LaBella.
