Unlike previous tax measure entreaties to San Carlos voters, a possible bond measure for next Novembers election
will be based on public priorities rather
than officials wish list.
The City Council has seven key projects and services it said a bond measure
could fund, such as buying land for a park
or aquatic center, but will let the public
drive what might ultimately be on the
ballot.
The council is not looking to do anything specific, City Manager Jeff

Maltbie said at Monday nights approval

Councilman Matt Grocott wasnt completely sold on the idea.

San Carlos plan to impose water conservation measures during dry times like the
current drought and fine violators is
unfair because the city hasnt first educated residents about how to improve their use,

authority to declare a water shortage emergency and impose conservation measures

SAN DIEGO Army reservist Dennis Rances had a general idea of how he would spend Veterans Day with his military friends, and none of it required money.
The Afghanistan war veteran figured they would start
with a free breakfast, ride their motorcycles and then stop
for a no-cost dinner. Not just food was on the house
Tuesday, there was also free admission at select theaters to
the World War II film Fury, starring Brad Pitt.
Lets go, dude! said Rances Army veteran friend, Cesar
Garcia. He stood among motorcycles outside a packed
Dennys in San Diego as fellow veterans wearing hats with
Purple Heart logos and military T-shirts passed.
Veterans Day is not only a time to honor those who have
served in the military: For American businesses, its also a
time to back up that appreciation with a freebie.
A slew of locally owned businesses and national chains
offered something free Tuesday to anyone who has served
in the military a trend that has been growing since the
Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.
I think its pretty cool businesses are showing their
appreciation this way, Rances said.
Many, like Rances, started the day with a free meal.
Dennys was offering a Grand Slam breakfast on the house,
and IHOP served up free red, white and blue pancakes.
Veterans could then walk off the calories in national
parks, which offered free admission to everyone, and reenergize with a free 12-ounce cup of Starbucks-brewed coffee for current and former military members and their
spouses.

with Kaiser making a profit of $12

should be placed back into the facilities instead of being held as part of

amounts to $21.7 billion.
Our facilities are lacking basic
necessities to provide quality care.
We have been working short-staffed
for the past three years, there are
2,042 positions not currently filled

In our emergency department, we
are holding patients who should be

It has been a worry of mine for some
time. At my advanced age, I am
amazed at the lack of consideration

so the column summed it up wonderfully. Now we just need to educate the

Businesses cash in as women chase bigger butts
NEW YORK Gym classes that promise a plump posterior are in high demand. A surgery that pumps fat into the
buttocks is gaining popularity. And padded panties that
give the appearance of a rounder rump are selling out.
The U. S. booty business is getting a big bump.
Companies are cashing in on growing demand from women
seeking the more curvaceous figures of their favorite stars,
who flaunt their fuller rear ends.
Nicki Minaj, for instance, raps about her big fat butt in
Anaconda. Reality star Kim Kardashian posts photos of
hers on Instagram. And in the music video for Booty,
Jennifer Lopez and Iggy Azalea, wearing leotards, spend
four minutes rubbing their curvy bottoms together. At one
point, they slap each other on the booty.
As a result of the pop culture moment the butt is having,
sales for Booty Pop, which hawks $22 foam padded panties
on its website, are up 47 percent in the last six months
from the same period a year earlier. The company, which
declined to give sales figures, has sold out of certain styles
and colors this year, including its Pink Cotton Candy Boy
Shorts.
Susan Bloomstone, Booty Pops co-founder, says customers have asked for larger sizes. So, the Boston-based
company plans to begin selling pads that are 25 percent
larger this month. People just want more booty, she
says.
Feel Foxy, another maker of padded panties, says 2014
has been its best year since launching nearly a decade ago.
Sales are up 40 percent from a year ago, but the company
declined to give sales figures.
The Nicki Minaj song gave women the idea to pay attention to their rear end, says Jessica Asmar, co-owner of the

Moncada said.
Moncada now has goals in six of Skyline's
last seven games. She paces the team with 18
goals on the year.
She's a scorer, but through the whole year
she's had, with those breakaways, a challenge, Corsiglia said. We've talked to her
about being composed and about picking
a spot and seeing it before you do it. And she
put that exactly where she needed to put it.
Skyline seized the momentum and turned
up the heat on CCSF, but the Rams fed off the
energy to make for a thrilling finish.
CCSF drove back downfield and had two
key chances. The first came on a sideline
shot from forward Katrina Voris, who got
some bend on a shot towards the near
upright, but Skyline goalkeeper Stacie
Garcia covered the ground to deflect the shot
out of bounds.
Several minutes later, CCSF midfielder
Hannah Mikles shot a grounder just wide of
goal, but as Garcia attempted to gather it, the
ball squibbed through her arms and out of
bounds. On the ensuing CCSF corner kick,
forward Cassie Stansberry received a pass in
the penalty box amid traffic but couldn't get a
clean look to convert.
We moved the ball well a lot of the game,
CCSF head coach Gabe Saucedo said. We had
a better second half. I thought we played
faster, made better decisions and created better scoring opportunities. We just didn't finish the opportunities that we had. So, that's
what really hurt us today.

local government and police headquarters at
the center of the town. It aired footage taken
Tuesday of army tanks and armored personnel carriers moving around the towns dusty
streets and a ball of white smoke rising in
the background.
Al-Saadi later spoke to state television by
telephone but the line appeared to be cut off
after he said his forces were meeting stiff
resistance. Three military officials later
reached by the Associated Press in the town
said the advancing army troops and Shiite
militiamen are being slowed down by
booby-trapped houses and ambushes.
Raed Ibrahim, the governor of Salahuddin
province, where both Beiji and Tikrit are
