evision. While barely grasping what was happening, news that another plane had targeted the Pentagon emerged. Lastly, a fourth plane, with hijacker’s demands, then reports of a crash in southwestern, rural Pennsylvania were announced. This plane, San Franciscobound United Airlines Flight 93, did not reach the terrorists’ intended target on the U.S Capitol because the flight

had been delayed by more than 25 minutes and the passengers were already aware of what had happened in New York City and at the Pentagon. Several courageous passengers and crew hatched a plan and sought to wrestle control of the plane from their hijackers. Many view these actions as the first battle in the War on Terror. continued on page 27

We Remember! SUBMITTED BY MIRANDA MILLER Maria Grazia Romero, while experiencing the tragedy of 911-2001, felt compelled to give something back for the brotherhood of the world. The set of powerful symbols of wounds, dust and ghosts were on display at Centerville Presbyterian Church on September 11, 2011. Choirs presented “Memorial” by American composer Rene Clausen and Pastor Greg Roth shared a message on the new reality of bridge building, “Opposition and Opportunities.” Maria’s painting may be viewed at the Newark Library, 6300 Civic Terrace, for several weeks.

Authorities seek nursing student's cause of death BY TERRY COLLINS ASSOCIATED PRESS HAYWARD, Calif. (AP), Sep 20 - Authorities solved one mystery surrounding missing nursing student Michelle Le when they found her remains in a rugged Northern California canyon. Now they're trying to nail down another key piece of the puzzle: How did the 26year-old woman die? As Alameda County coroner's officials worked Tuesday

to make that determination, police called the discovery of her body an important step toward closure for Le's family and a significant development in the legal case against a pregnant, ex-friend of Le accused in the killing. “This case in and of itself is an anomaly, but the reality is that this family stayed involved and never gave up in their search,” Hayward police Lt. Roger Keener said. “They were determined to find her.”

Le's discovery also lightened the legal load for prosecutors. “The prosecution certainly no longer has to prove that a homicide occurred because Michelle has been found,” Keener said. Police suspect Le's former friend Giselle Esteban, 27, of Union City attacked Le in the parking garage of the hospital where she was doing a clinical rotation. Esteban knew Le in continued on page 26

SUBMITTED BY RACHEL WALL Hundreds of representatives from private industry gathered in Fresno on September 8, 2011, to learn more about the jobs that California’s high-speed rail project, the largest of its kind in the nation, is expected to create. Conservatively, approximately 20,000 jobs are anticipated for every $1 billion in infrastructure spending. The Authority already has more than $6 billion earmarked to begin construction along the Central Valley “backbone” of the system in 2012. The first request for qualifications from prospective bidders for the initial construction segment will be released during September 2011. A combination of state bond funds approved in 2008, federal funding grants, local funding and public-private partnerships will fund the entire project. The high-speed rail industry forum on September 8 was co-sponsored by the California High-Speed Rail Authority, the Economic Development Corporation Serving Fresno County and California State University Fresno. “One of the things on California’s docket that stands to have the greatest impact on our economy and our way of life is high-speed rail,” said Roelof van Ark, CEO of the California High-Speed Rail Authority, the state agency charged with overseeing the project. “It competes very favorably with driving and flying over distances of a few hundred miles and – particularly important in California – it creates tens of thousands of jobs in both the short- and the long-term.” The industry forum afforded the private sector several opportunities: to learn more about the project, the bidding process and how they can participate; to interact with and ask questions of California High-Speed Rail Authority officials; and to connect entrepreneurs and small businesses with “prime” contractors to discuss working together. “There will be work for everybody because of highspeed rail,” Steve Geil, president and CEO of the EDC Serving Fresno County, told the crowd. “This is huge. You’re not competitors competing with each other for work – there’s a place for all of us.” “It’s going to change the way we think about travel from a work standpoint,” Fresno County Supervisor Henry Perea. “Imagine the opportunities that arise when we can travel quickly and comfortably around the state. … these companies wouldn’t be here if they didn’t see what this means.” For more information, visit www.cahighspeedrail.ca.gov

hen it comes to fruits and vegetables, more matters. That’s the idea behind the campaign to get people to eat more fresh produce. September is Fruits and Veggies: More Matters Month, a good time to try to increase the amount and variety of fruits and vegetables in your diet. “Fruits and vegetables are packed with the nutrients you need to stay healthy,” said Maggie Villagomez, a registered dietitian at Washington Hospital. “They can also help to lower the risk for diseases like cancer, diabetes, and heart disease.” Fruits and vegetables contain vitamins, minerals, fiber, and other essential nutrients that the body needs. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), those nutrients should come primarily from whole foods rather than supplements. The CDC’s “more matters” campaign replaces the “5 a day” campaign because most adults need more than five servings of fruits and vegetables a day, Villagomez said. “Adults need seven to 13 cups of produce daily,” she added. “The focus now is on filling half your plate with fruits

and vegetables at every meal, rather than weighing or measuring food. It’s a much more practical way to make sure you are eating enough produce.” Managing Your Weight Eating more fruits and vegetables can also help you keep your weight under control. Being overweight or obese raises your risk for a number of chronic diseases, including diabetes and heart disease. “About two-thirds of Americans are overweight,” Villagomez said. “Fruits and vegetables can help you lose weight because they are low in fat and calories but big on flavor. They help you feel full and satisfied without adding a lot of calories.” She said that adding a wide variety of fruits and vegetables can keep mealtime interesting while giving your body a full range of nutrients. “Try to add more color to your plate,” Villagomez said. “Different colored fruits and vegetables contain different nutrients, so eating a rainbow of colors ensures that you are getting all the nutrients you need.” For example, green fruits and vegetables like avocado, kiwi, and broccoli contain calcium, folate, vitamin C, and beta-carotene. Red fruits and vegetables like

Maggie Villagomez, a registered dietitian at Washington Hospital, says eating a colorful variety of fruits and vegetables offers enormous health benefits. Villagomez adds that the best way to increase the amount of fruits and vegetables in your diet is to add a few to every meal, including snacks.

cherries, watermelon, and red peppers contain lycopene and ellagic acid. Orange and yellow produce such as cantaloupe, mango, and pineapple contain flavonoids, potassium, betacarotene and vitamin C. Blue and purple varieties like blueberries, eggplant, and purple cabbage contain lutein, vitamin C, and flavonoids. More Matters “The best way to increase the amount of fruits and vegetables in your diet is to add a few to every meal, including snacks,” Villagomez said. “You can also incorporate them into your recipes.” She suggested adding chopped or shredded vegetables to meatloaf, lasagna, and casseroles. Pureed vegetables can be added to soups or stews to thicken them rather than using flour or cornstarch, she said.

“Smoothies are a great way to add fruit to your diet, and kids love them,” she said. “You can keep bags of fruit in the freezer for a fast and easy treat. Just put it in a blender with some milk and it makes a great breakfast drink or snack.” She said pre-cut bags of fruits and vegetables can also save time, making it easier for busy cooks to add more produce to the menu. While they do cost a bit more, they reduce the amount of time spent cleaning, chopping, peeling, and cutting. “If you have fruits and vegetables already prepared, it also makes it more convenient to snack on them,” Villagomez added. “You can just grab some carrots or apple slices and go. The easier you make it to eat fruits and vegetables, the more likely you are to add them to your diet.”

SUBMITTED BY BRENDA KAHN MTC commissioners unanimously approved two key contract actions that chart a course for implementing Clipper on the Water Emergency Transportation Authority (WETA)’s new Oakland/Alameda-to-South San Francisco line and replacing legacy fare collection systems at WETA’s San Francisco and Alameda terminals with Clipper. Those installations will effectively blanket WETA’s current San Francisco Bay Ferry service area with Clipper - a fitting pairing given the nautical theme of Clipper’s brand and its connection to the Clipper ships of yesteryear. “We’re excited at the prospect of implementing Clipper on our ferries,” WETA Executive Director Nina Rannells told the commissioners at their September 9, 2011 meeting, adding that riders on the new line to South San Francisco are expecting the high-tech system to be in place when service begins next spring. WETA has committed to pay $625,000 to procure Clipper equipment and software to support ferry operations at WETA’s five terminals and to cover the cost of installation. MTC will manage the installation work under its ongoing contract with Cubic Transportation Systems, Inc. WETA currently operates ferries serving Oakland’s Jack London Square, Alameda’s Main Street and Harbor Bay terminals, and San Francisco’s Ferry Building and Pier 41, and is in negotiations to assume operation of the city of Vallejo’s Baylink ferry service to San Francisco. Meanwhile, Golden Gate Transit’s ferries have been part of the Clipper system for nearly 10 years. In addition to Golden Gate ferries and buses, Clipper is accepted on S.F. Muni, BART, AC Transit, SamTrans, Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority and Caltrain. Together these seven pioneering systems account for 95 percent of the region’s transit ridership and are now generating more than 500,000 Clipper rides a day - and nearly 14 million trips a month. Because WETA is funding the acquisition of Clipper equipment and installation in full, it is stepping to the head of the line of transit operators waiting to join the seven that already are collecting fares with the all-in-one transit fare card. Staff also presented an information item on expanding Clipper to the other 20 transit operators in the region at the September 9 Operations Committee meeting. In the memo, staff proposes grouping the candidate systems into four geographic areas: the 101 Corridor operators, East Bay operators, Solano/Napa County operators and ferries - with the latter category now addressed by the action to extend Clipper to WETA. Which group will be next will depend on funding, availability of equipment, the number of riders served and other factors. The phasing will be addressed at a future meeting.

In response to an effort by the State to reduce costly, overcrowded prisons and the number of inmates who reoffend and are re-incarcerated, the County of Santa Clara and the Santa Clara County Re-Entry Network are holding Community Forums on the realignment of the County’s Criminal Justice System. The Network, launched in early August to help build safer communities through the successful reintegration of former inmates and prisoners, sponsored its first community forum September 14. The forum was co-hosted by the network’s community partners Silicon Valley De-Bug and the Center for Employment Training (CET). “These community forums are key in preparing for the challenges and opportunities realignment will bring to our current criminal justice system,” said County of Santa Clara Supervisor George Shirakawa, Chair of the Board’s Public Safety and Justice Committee. ”Our main goal is to maintain public safety. The feedback gained from these forums will help ensure that the appropriate support, services, and supervision will be given to inmates so that they can be successful.” Following a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that requested State Prison officials to reduce over 30,000 inmates from prisons within the next two years, Assembly Bill 109 will divert low-level, non-violent inmates to counties, including parole violators who otherwise would spend several months in State prison, and offenders sentenced to less than three years for crimes such as drug dealing. continued on page 25

SUBMITTED BY CHAD DIBBLE The public comment period for the draft conservation strategy for the Sacramento Valley, San Joaquin Valley and Delta has once again been extended due to multiple requests from the public. The draft report, entitled “Conservation Strategy for Restoration of the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta Ecological Management Zone and the Sacramento and San Joaquin Valley Regions,” will be available for public review and comment until Sept. 30, 2011. The document identifies biologically promising ecosystem restoration opportunities in the Sacramento-

San Joaquin Delta Ecological Management Zone and the Sacramento Valley and San Joaquin Valley regions, and provides the rationale for restoration actions specific to each of these areas. It provides the conceptual framework and process that will guide the refinement, evaluation, prioritization, implementation, monitoring and review of Ecosystem Restoration Program (ERP) actions. The draft report is available on the DFG website at www.dfg.ca.gov/erp/reports_docs.asp. ERP performance measures can be found in Appendix D. With this additional extension, comments will continue to be received by the Department of Fish and

WHAT’S HAPPENING’S TRI-CITY VOICE

Q. I have navy blue living room furniture—a sofa and two matching chairs. They are a few years old, but are in good shape and I want to keep them. My walls are white right now and are in need of paint, and my carpet is neutral beige. What colors can I use for my walls and other furnishings to redecorate my living room?

a silky fabric the same (or similar) color to the walls. Use dark wood curtain rods with beautiful carved finials. Add several throw pillows to the sofa and chairs in burgundy and gold— mix patterns and textures: some stripes and geometrics will work well with the rug. Look for pillows with gold fringe, tassels or rope cording for a more formal look.

A. It sounds like you have a great neutral palette to work with. My first question to you would be: “How would you like this room to feel when you are done?” The answer to that question will help guide your choices. We will look at three scenarios to see which one works best for you.

Scenario #2: “I want my room to be light, airy and casual.” If this is your goal, how about the classic combination of navy and white? Paint your walls a soft, creamy white, which will make your navy blue furniture really stand out. Hang some artwork that contains a lot of blues – perhaps with a nautical for a coastal casual look. Mix your woods and add lots of textures—for example: a light wood coffee table with wicker baskets underneath, and end tables in a medium wood tone. Hang a pair of swing arm wall lights above the end tables instead of lamps. This will be an unexpected touch, and will free up space on the tables for accessories like family photos, vases, or a stack of books. Add throw pillows in a variety of fabrics in the colors of blue, white, cream, and tan. Look for linen and other casual fabrics. For the windows, consider Plantation shutters, white painted wood blinds, or soft linen panels in cream or white.

Scenario #1: “I want my room to be dramatic and formal. It is the first room you see when you walk in and I want it to be a showstopper.” If this is your goal, then I suggest dark, rich colors. Pairing navy blue with deep burgundy and gold will give you a formal, dramatic look. Purchase a large Oriental area rug with a lot of pattern, in colors of burgundy, gold and navy) and use it to anchor your seating area. It is OK to place an area rug over carpeting as long as it is big enough, and you use a special rug pad underneath to keep it from becoming a tripping hazard. Paint the walls a deep golden brown color and use dark wood for your end tables. For a coffee table, consider a glass-topped table so the rug pattern shows through. Add curtain panels in

Scenario #3: “I want my room to feel clean, uncluttered and modern.” For this goal, try pairing the navy with a blue-

based gray color for the walls. For the windows, look at Silhouette window shadings, which will filter the light and provide a very clean modern look. For your tables, look at metal finishes and glass or stone tops. No ornate details. Keep accessories to a minimum, but make the few you do decide to use really count. For example, on your glass topped coffee table, place one large glass platter in a striking color like red, acid green, or purple. Anchor the seating area with a large solid-color area rug in a charcoal or silvery gray. For more drama, choose an area rug in a contrasting color like red or purple. Hang abstract paintings over the sofa and a collection of black and white photographs on another wall.

HOME SALES REPORT

New Haven School Board SUBMITTED BY RICK LA PLANTE The Board of Education recently welcomed its two student representatives for the 2011-12 school year, Lily Nguyen of James Logan High School and Victor Benites of Conley-Caraballo High. The Board also recognized and thanked the New Haven Schools Foundation, the New Haven Boosters Association and a parents’ group known as TFIN (Their Future Is Now) for their contributions to the District. In response to continuing budget cuts threatening the future of after-school activities — throughout the District and especially at Logan — the Foundation has pledged $100,000 to help pay for stipends for coaches and advisers in 2011-12. The Foundation will give the District $50,000 in onetime funds, matching monies being raised by the Boosters – whose second annual “Race to Save Student Activities” drew more than 350 runners to Cesar Chavez Middle School in June and raised approximately $10,000 – and through other efforts, such as Logan’s “10-1010” drive last spring. Part of the funds will be given to the middle schools, also for after-school programs, and a portion will go to the elementary schools, to help fund field trips. TFIN, meanwhile, worked with the Foundation in an effort to help classroom teachers. As part of the NHSF’s 2010 membership drive, more than $6,500 was designated for TFIN’s effort. The funds are being donated to help support professional development.

Dominican Sisters honored by St. Edward School SUBMITTED BY SHARON BRADLEY, DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR PHOTOS COURTESY OF CARBONELL AND BANCHIERI FAMILIES

n August 6, St. Edward School in Newark held a “Dominican Celebration” to honor and pay tribute to the Dominican Sisters of Mission San Jose. The special celebration was held to thank the Dominican Sisters and celebrate their legacy of 48 years of wisdom, compassion and unconditional giving to the St. Edward community. Many of the Sisters attending the event had served as Principals of the school in the past, while many others had taught or offered other services to the school community. Since its inception in 1963, St. Edward School has been under the guidance of and inspired by the charisma of the Dominican Sisters of Mission San Jose. This memorable celebration was attended by faculty, alumni, current families, students and friends of St. Edward School. The event was an opportunity for many of the Sisters to visit with their prior students, and for alumni to visit with one another as well. A huge success, the celebration was attended by over 220 people who came to honor the Dominican Sisters who have, over the years, shown their dedication, commitment, generous service and deep love for the students of St. Edward. The event began with a celebratory prayer service offered by Most Reverend Bishop Cummins and Father Jeff Keyes. Tyler Soriano, 20112012 Student Body President,

welcomed the audience and hosted as emcee of the program. During the course of the afternoon, food and refreshments were served and dance performances were given by current St. Edward students and alumni. A highlight of the event was when several alumni, recognized as Distinguished Graduates, shared stories of special moments they recalled with the Sisters that significantly impacted their lives while students at St. Edward.

The Celebration was particularly memorable as the 20112012 school year marks the first year in the history of St. Edward that the school will have its first lay principal. St. Edward is blessed to now be under the leadership of Mr. Gregory M.

WHAT’S HAPPENING’S TRI-CITY VOICE

BY MEKALA NEELAKANTAN On September 28, the Fremont Olive Hyde Art Guild is hosting a special demonstration on the art of Ikebana flower arranging, taught by Ikebana artist Katsuko Biko Thielke. Thielke is an instructor from the Sogetsu Ikebana San Francisco Branch, as well as a member of the Ikebana International Association. She teaches the art of Ikebana in Los Altos, Mountain View, and at Mission College, and has installed these flower arrangements at the Fine Arts museum, the Filoli Gardens, and for private customers. She is a very inventive and popular Ikebana artist, incorporating ancient methods as well as more unconventional materials into her work. Ikebana flower arranging is one of the most distinct Japanese art forms, dating back over 500 years, with many different styles, such as Nageire, Shoku, and Moribana Ikebana, as well as thousands of Ikebana schools around the world. It is a disciplined form that emphasizes nature and harmony, focusing on all parts of the flower (stems, leaves, and petals) in the arrangement. The structure of an Ikebana arrangement is centered on a scalene triangle configuration and the concept of using a minimal amount of flower blooms in the piece. Creativity is expressed through the way in

which the artist makes the unique shapes, lines, and color combinations that are present in the final product. Ikebana stresses organic construction, bringing forth the flowers’ natural beauty in the arrangements. This art form also carries spiritual importance to the artist; Ikebana is a time for the artist to feel close to and appreciate nature. “I feel very peaceful and calm, creating with fresh and unconventional materials, and when I see how much people enjoy and appreciate my flower arrangements, it makes me so happy,” said Thielke. The Ikebana demonstration will be held at the Olive Hyde Art Center on 123 Washington Boulevard from 10 a.m. to noon in the Art Center’s Mission Room. Thielke will be showing attendees how to create an Ikebana arrangement, describing how to weave, cut, and arrange flowers from the basic level to the advanced and freestyle levels. Admission is free, and all are welcome. Olive Hyde Art Guild Ikebana Flower Demonstration Wednesday, September 28 10 a.m. to noon Olive Hyde Art Center 123 Washington Blvd., Fremont (510) 791-4357

Judge throws out parts of salmon, steelhead plan BY GOSIA WOZNIACKA ASSOCIATED PRESS FRESNO, Calif. (AP), Sep 20 - A federal judge on Tuesday threw out parts of a management plan to protect endangered salmon, steelhead and other species from large water pumps in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta that move water to farms and cities. U.S. District Judge Oliver Wanger invalidated parts of the U.S. National Marine Fisheries Service's so-called biological opinion, calling the plan ``arbitrary, capricious, and unlawful.'' Wanger still held that pumping operations negatively impact the fish and adversely modify their critical habitat, but his decision means the agency will rewrite its plan again. In the 279-page decision, Wanger wrote that some of the agency's analyses relied on “equivocal or bad science” and didn't clearly demonstrate why the measures it imposed were essential. Wanger threw out the previous salmon and steelhead management plan in 2008, which led the government to release the new proposal a year later. California water agencies immediately challenged it in court, saying it would limit the amount of water pumped to farmers and Southern California residents. Water agencies hailed the latest ruling as a victory, saying it means more water can be pumped for urban and rural water users. Environmentalists said the judge was simply tweaking technical aspects of the plan involving when pumping can and cannot occur, but the underlying ruling that pumping endangers the fish remained unchanged. Fall-run chinook salmon populations returning to the Central Valley to spawn have declined over the past seven years. About 66,000 salmon adults returned to the Sacramento River in 2008, down from more than 750,000 adult salmon in 2002. below (or by pasting the URL into your browser), then clicking on the green “CERT” button.

BY MICHAEL LIEDTKE AP TECHNOLOGY WRITER SAN FRANCISCO (AP), Sep 19 - The CEO of Netflix said he was sorry for mishandling a recent price increase that caused customers to cancel the service in droves. But the apology was drowned out by a decision that angered subscribers all over again. The company will split into two services - one with an odd new name that offers the familiar discs in red envelopes and another for online streaming of TV shows and movies. The DVD service will be called Qwikster, a name that is supposed to signify a commitment to fast service but quickly became an object of ridicule Monday on the Internet. The streaming service will keep the Netflix name. Netflix, which had 24.6 million U.S. subscribers at the end of June and is the nation's

The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

largest video subscription service, redefined home entertainment over the past decade with its DVDs by mail. Now it's trying to prepare for the day when watching movies on a disc goes the way of driving to the video store to pick up a VHS tape. But lately, it has bungled the transition. The company has lost half its market value since July, when it announced that customers who wanted DVDs and streaming had to pay for them separately - and pay up to 60 percent more. The decision to rebrand the best-known part of Netflix's business left some experts wondering whether CEO Reed Hastings is losing the touch that established him as an influential figure in technology and entertainment. Others see the logic in trying to make sure Netflix keeps a thriving business as customers abandon DVDs and shift in greater numbers to beaming

movies and TV shows into their living rooms over high-speed Internet connections. It's going to be a painful transition, as Hastings acknowledged as he cut loose the DVD service. “It's hard for me to write this after over 10 years of mailing DVDs with pride, but we think it is necessary and best,” Hastings wrote on a Netflix blog. The CEO of the rechristened Qwikster service will be Andy Rendich, a longtime Netflix employee. Hastings found little sympathy among the more than 10,000 people who commented on the blog posting. Most of them lambasted him for making life more difficult for about 12 million customers who get both streaming and DVD rentals. Those people will have to visit two websites to make requests and update their billing information. Other critics questioned the sincerity of his apology for the

BY PAUL WISEMAN AP ECONOMICS WRITER WASHINGTON (AP), Sep 19 - For someone known as a consensus builder, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke sure generates - and shrugs off a lot of dissent. Bernanke last month pushed ahead with a plan to keep short-term interest rates near zero through mid-2013 despite three dissenting votes on the Fed's policy-making committee. For decades, the Fed's culture, and sometimes its strong-willed chiefs, have normally capped dissents at two. Former Fed Vice Chairman Alan Blinder, a Princeton economist, suggests that Bernanke's willingness to accept three dissents last month has “broken the ice”: Bernanke won't let resistance from several members stop him from pushing through bold moves that he and a Fed majority consider necessary.

WHAT’S HAPPENING’S TRI-CITY VOICE

It's one reason many economists expect the central bank to announce something new after its policy meeting this week to try to jolt the sputtering economy. Eventually, some economists expect the Fed to try for the third time to stimulate growth through a program to buy Treasurys to lower long-term interest rates. That's a step known as “quantitative easing.” Whatever step he proposes, Bernanke would surely prefer unanimous support, to avoid sending any mixed messages to financial markets. But the chairman, an even-tempered academic, doesn't shrink from debate. “My attitude has always been if two people always agree, one of them is redundant,” Bernanke said after a speech this month in Minneapolis. “I have always tried to encourage . debate and discussion.” He hasn't been disappointed. Bernanke hears plenty from dissenting committee

members who worry that his efforts to energize growth and job creation with super-low interest rates are hurting savers and could ignite inflation. Fed officials say the central bank remains collegial despite the dissension. They contrast Bernanke's Fed with the leadership of former chairmen like Arthur Burns and Paul Volcker, who were known for imposing their will on colleagues. “Sometimes we have different opinions, but it's all very congenial and very professional,” one of the dissenters, Charles Plosser, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia, told The Wall Street Journal this month. “It's not a vote of no-confidence in Bernanke ... This is about how difficult decision-making is right now.” Outsiders have been less polite. Bernanke's policies have come under fire from members of Congress and from Republi-

can presidential candidates like Texas Gov. Rick Perry and Texas Rep. Ron Paul. Bernanke still commands most of the votes on the policymaking Federal Open Market Committee. “He's the kind of guy who convinces people to go along with him,” says Rutgers University economist Michael Bordo. “He doesn't bully them or browbeat them.” Undivided or near-unanimous Fed decisions are designed to send a clear message to markets about the central bank's intentions. In deference to tradition, committee members have sometimes cast votes with the majority despite their misgivings. But the self-censorship carries costs, too, economists say. It deprives investors of useful information about the range of debate within the central bank and of hints about the direction of interest rates, according to a paper last year by Petra Gerlach-Kris-

ten of the Bank for International Settlements and Ellen Meade of American University. Since becoming chairman in 2006, Bernanke has opened the often-secretive institution to deeper public scrutiny, in part by giving regular news conferences after some meetings of the policymaking committee. Bernanke, who studied the Great Depression as an academic, has already taken extraordinary steps to boost the economy and stabilize the financial system. During the 2007-2009 financial panic, the Fed made emergency loans to banks. Since December 2008, the Fed has kept short-term interest rates near zero. And it's conducted two rounds of quantitative easing to try to lower long-term rates. Lower rates are intended to coax consumers and businesses into borrowing and spending more. Low rates are also supposed to spur investors to shift

September 23, 2011

money out of Treasurys and into stocks. Higher stock prices can make investors feel wealthy enough to spend more. The Fed is a quasi-independent agency with two sometimes-conflicting missions: to keep inflation under control and to ensure maximum employment. The 12-member policy committee, which sets interest rates, always includes five of the Fed's 12 regional bank presidents; they serve on a rotating basis. The seven other committee members belong to the Fed's board of governors in Washington, which has two vacancies. The bank presidents are selected by local boards of directors dominated by bankers. These presidents are likelier than other members of the policy committee to be ``inflation hawks.'' That term refers to those who tend to worry that rates kept too low for too long could spark high inflation and hurt people who own bonds and other fixed-rate investments. The three no votes last month all came from Fed bank presidents: in Dallas, Minneapolis and Philadelphia. Until August, no Fed decision since 1992 had caused as many as three dissents on the policy committee. Economists say the level of disagreement isn't surprising: It's far from clear what more, if anything, the Fed should be doing to help lift the economy out of a lowgrowth, high-unemployment rut. Yet the Fed remains under intense scrutiny because it seems to be the only U.S. financial institution capable of doing anything that might help the economy. Republicans in Congress are resisting the Obama administration's effort to boost growth and create jobs with a new round of tax cuts and government spending. They say that the $447 billion White House plan wouldn't work and that government can't afford to let budget deficits grow any bigger.

WHAT’S HAPPENING’S TRI-CITY VOICE

“The Fed is the only game in town,'' says economist Marvin Goodfriend at Carnegie Mellon University's Tepper School of Business. “That's what's created the stresses” within the bank and political pressure from outside. Republican presidential candidate Perry has said it would be “almost treasonous” for Bernanke to do anything to help the economy before the 2012 presidential election. Some economists say that the Fed has already used up all its ammunition with its zero-interest rate policy and its bond purchases. Skeptics say the Fed really can't do much more to help the economy - and might hurt it by stoking inflation. Despite the Fed's efforts, unemployment is stuck at a recession-level 9.1 percent. And the economy grew at an annual rate of just 0.7 percent in the first half of the year. Four or 5 percent annual growth would be needed to bring the unemployment rate down rapidly. Yet the Fed is expected this week to signal further action. Most economists expect it to reshuffle its $1.7 trillion portfolio of bonds and mortgage securities, replacing short-term investments with long-term bonds. That would be designed to further reduce long-term interest rates, leading to lower rates on mortgages and car loans and perhaps persuading wary consumers to spend more. Or it could reduce or eliminate the 0.25 percent interest it pays on reserves that commercial banks keep with the Fed. Doing so could encourage some banks to lend more to businesses and consumers. “The chairman will get done whatever he wants to do,” Rutgers' Bordo says. “The disagreements are just putting more pressure on him to come up with a good case.” AP Economics Writer Martin Crutsinger contributed to this report.

the Ohlone side did not get complacent. Merritt beat Ohlone in the final minutes when they not only leveled the score with the visiting Renegades, but bested them by one for a final 4:3 win. Ohlone was stifled in Butte with 113 degrees on the field and one goal to show against a team that only tallied five shots on frame with four goals counted. Today, Greivin Pacheco Quesada opened up in the first four minutes to add another goal to his hat trick tally from last week and previous two goals.

After a 0-0 half-time score, Valenzuela took a pass from Alvarellos to put Newark up 1-0. A few minutes later, Valenzuela increased the lead to 2-0 when she converted a pass from Aracelli Hinojosa. Goal Keeper Bri Motta played great in the first half while midfielders Rachel Bruckner, Lis Mason, and Hannah Gamez all played well for Newark.

The steepest declines have comes since Netflix warned it expected to have 600,000 fewer subscribers at the end of this month than at the end of June, by far the worst downturn in the company's history. Netflix's stock has been hit so hard that it made Hastings' apology seem like little more than damage control, Devine said. In his blog post, Hastings wrote that he “slid into arrogance based upon past success” when he decided to raise prices so dramatically. He emphasized the higher prices were the right thing to do, but said he should have done more to explain them. Hastings said his biggest fear is that Netflix will be left behind by technological upheaval, like what happened to AOL when people switched from dial-up Internet to widely available broadband, or Borders when readers gravitated to the e-book. Netflix itself has killed off thousands of video rental stores during the past five years, and it devastated Blockbuster, which once dominated the home-video market and went bankrupt last year. Hastings began Netflix's evolution in early 2007 when he added Internet video streaming. That option grew in popularity even faster than he anticipated, causing video distributors to demand ever higher licensing fees. Those expenses are one reason Netflix raised prices. Hastings has promised to use the additional money it gets from its subscribers to stockpile its video streaming library with more content. Some subscribers are upset by Netflix's inability to renew a contract with Starz Entertainment that included many recently released movies from Walt Disney Co.'s studios. The

Starz deal expires in February. More broadly, Netflix customers have complained that its TV and movie titles available for streaming pale next to its menu of more than 100,000 DVD titles. And they have other places to turn for streaming entertainment - Amazon.com, iTunes and Hulu, among others. In Monday's blog post, Hastings wrote that Netflix will make “substantial” additions during the next few months. Michele Lucas of Denver is among the Netflix subscribers who think its streaming library is already losing its appeal. Her family pays only for streaming now. They stopped renting DVDs from Netflix after the price increase. “We sit down at night and go through and we have a really hard time finding a movie to watch,” Lucas said. Spinning off the DVD services will also allow Netflix to provide studios with a clearer idea of how many people are streaming their content. That could be critical as it negotiates future licensing deals. In addition to the split, Netflix will expand into an area Hastings had steadfastly resisted - video game rentals. Adding it to Qwikster may not make investors happy, though, because video games are more expensive and have a shorter shelf life than DVDs. But video-game availability could win back alienated subscribers. Devine said he might sign up for Qwikster if the selection is good enough. Hastings seems confident he won't be the only one. “Both the Qwikster and Netflix teams will work hard to regain your trust,” Hastings wrote on the blog and a mass email to subscribers. “We know it will not be overnight. Actions speak louder than words. But words help people to understand actions.” AP Technology Writer Barbara Ortutay in New York contributed to this story.

high school in San Diego and was charged with murder earlier this month. Esteban told KGO-TV in June that she hated Le because Le was friends with Scott Marasigan of Fremont, the father of Esteban's 5-year-old daughter. But she denied having anything to do with Le's disappearance. Just three days before Le's disappearance, Marasigan filed a temporary restraining order against Esteban, citing bizarre and threatening behavior against him and his family. Marasigan wrote that in December, Esteban threatened to shoot herself if he did not talk with her on the phone. Marasigan said he called police, and Esteban was arrested after officers found live rounds of ammunition but not a gun. Keener said police believe Esteban acted alone in Le's death. Esteban did not enter a plea when she appeared in court Monday. She is due back on Sept. 28. On Saturday, police and volunteer searchers discovered the remains off a dirt trail. Police said cell phone signals from Le and Esteban had been received from the area. Le's remains were discovered Saturday in a remote area near Sunol by a search dog being used by Carrie McGonigle, whose daughter Amber Dubois was murdered after vanishing while walking to school in the San Diego suburb of Escondido in February 2009. Krystine Dinh, Le's cousin and family

spokeswoman, said in an email that grieving loved ones were preparing “a proper goodbye” for Le. Dinh also thanked police and those who helped search for Le. At the time of her May 27 disappearance, Le was working on a bachelor of sciences nursing program at Samuel Merritt University in Oakland, combining classroom work with clinical training. Her family said Le decided to go into nursing because she wanted to follow in the footsteps of her mother. She was scheduled to graduate in December. University president Sharon Diaz said in a statement Tuesday there was profound sadness on campus over Le's death. “This kind of senseless violence is difficult to understand,” Diaz said. “Michelle had so much to live for and sought only to give to others - her life was so pointlessly taken.” Records show that Le's and Esteban's cell phones “traveled on a similar path” from the hospital to other locations in Alameda County immediately after Le disappeared, a police inspector wrote in an affidavit. Difficulties in traversing the thick brush led Le's family and authorities to conduct some 15 searches in the area during the past four months before the remains were found. “The greatest impact is that it does provide the family with some level of closure and help them begin to heal and move on,” Keener said.

SUBMITTED BY MARION OLDENHAGE Banned Books Week is an annual awareness campaign that celebrates the freedom to read and the importance of the First Amendment. Held during the last week of September since 1982, Banned Books Week not only encourages readers to examine challenged literary works, but also promotes intellectual freedom in libraries, schools, and bookstores. Its goal is to teach the importance of our First Amendment rights and the power of literature, and to draw attention to the danger that exists when restraints are imposed on the availability of information in a free society. "Intellectual freedom can exist only where two essential conditions are met: first, that all individuals have the right to hold any belief on

Dedication of the Flight 93 National Memorial, continued from page 1 “Let’s roll,” the words of passenger Todd Beamer, have become a battle cry and epitomize their initiative. Hayward resident and former Marine Michael L. Emerson organized the San Francisco Bay Area’s Flight 93 Memorial, which was funded entirely by donations of land, material and labor and dedicated on December 8, 2007, at Sugar Mill Landing Park, Union City (www.93Memorial.com). He was invited to join the Steering Committee for the Flight 93 National Memorial which is the only part of the National Park System that relates the history of 9/11 and includes the crash site near Shanksville, Pennsylvania. Planning for a permanent memorial at this location began a year after the tragedy. On September 10, 2002, Congress passed the Flight 93 National Memorial Act which President George W. Bush signed two weeks later. This established the Flight 93 Advisory Commission which comprises family members of the 33 passengers and seven crew members, who gave their lives, local residents and officials, national figures and a National Park Service representative. The commissioners make recommendations that reflect and respect their desires and sensitivities to the Secretary of the Interior. Other partners for this memorial include Families of the Flight 93, The Friends of Flight 93 and the Flight 93 Memorial Task Force. The Memorial’s design is the result of an international competition; Paul Murdoch Architects was selected in 2005. Construction will be completed in three phases. So far, The Flight 93 National Memorial Campaign has raised $52M of the estimated total $62M cost from public and

private sources; more than 72,000 private donors in all 50 states and in 24 countries beyond the United States account for $20M. On November 7, 2009, the Memorial broke ground; completion of Phase 1 construction was marked by the Memorial’s dedication on September 10, 2011. Thousands from across the country and around the world attended the ceremony. Presidents George W. Bush, Bill Clinton and Vice President Joe Biden recounted the remarkable heroism, national symbolism and the need to honor the passengers and crew of Flight 93. The original memorial was maintained at the Western Overlook, where a chain link fence separated the visitors from the field at some distance from the crash site. Family and visitors would leave flowers, toy animals and other personal tributes at this spot which is now retired. Memorials to Flight 93 do not start at the park’s gate. The surrounding communities are a continuum of tributes, flags and signs to honor the heroes. The Flight 93 Chapel, a mile away, was opened in September 2002 and provides a place of reflection for families and others.

bly area. A gap in this section of the wall is filled by a roughly hewn, wooden gate through which family members can pass. Past the gate, the Memorial Wall of Names begins, consisting of 40 white marble memorial panels each engraved with a hero’s name. Completion of Phase 2 construction is expected in 2014; trees will encircle the Field of Honor which will also be flanked by 40 Memorial Groves, each with 40 trees, to represent the passengers and crew who were lost. An Entry Portal 40-50 ft. high will frame the sky where Flight 93 once flew and approximate the low altitude of the plane as it passed overhead. Visitors pass through here for their first view of the crash site. The final phase will add a 93 ft. tower with wind chimes, set among the trees and visible from the highway. It will mark the entrance to the park and be heard for miles. Actions of Flight 93 heroes, like the Battle at Gettysburg, are a national symbol. For their families, this means sharing their private grief with the nation. This is difficult for some; others embrace it and look for-

ward to returning when the Flight 93 National Memorial site will be a quiet, spiritual place to visit. Every year, many local residents join the 130,000 visitors to the site and the September 10, 2011 dedication offers them closure. A firefighter from Wisconsin, uncomfortable with being called a hero, came to honor these heroes. The Flight 93 National Memorial is the only September 11 memorial that remains to be fully funded and constructed. Memorials at the Pentagon and the World Trade Center are funded and opened to the public in September 2008 and September 2011, respectively. Private funding is needed to complete the vision for the Flight 93 National Memorial. Major sponsorship opportunities for key features, such as the Visitor Center, 40 Memorial Groves and Entry Portal, are available. There are grassroots and public engagement programs for donors at all levels. For more information about the Flight 93 National Memorial and Flight 93 National Memorial Campaign, visit www.HonorFlight93.com where donations can be made online. Donations of $10 can also be made via mobile devices by texting “Memorial” to 90999.

The community has taken this personally and has been hospitable and generous to the visiting families. This newly dedicated Memorial consists of 400 acres surrounded by a buffer of 1,800 acres of wetlands, forest and mining country. Its elements connect the visitor to this now peaceful land, providing a place to reflect and embracing the sanctity of the site. Those entering through the Visitor Center are greeted by a long, low black wall that separates the visitor from the Field of Honor on the left. Benches along the path provide a place to sit and reflect. Beyond the wall, a gentle slope leads down to the crash site, covered with native wildflowers, and surrounds the land over which Flight 93 flew before crashing. Follow the wall for 100 yards, and Flight 93’s point of impact comes into view on the left. This is Sacred Ground that can only be visited by family members and is marked by the placement of a 17 ton boulder where flowers and wreaths are often placed. A hundred yards further, the wall transitions to tall white marble; this is the Memorial Plaza, the main public assem- Long Black Wall with Bouquet, Flight 93 National Memorial, Shanksville, Pennsylvania
