WASHINGTON / NEW YORK— President Barack Obama is calling on America to come together on the anniversary of the Sept 11, 2001 terror attacks and look to a shared future, even while reflecting on a decade fi lled with strife. “It’s clear for all the world to see — the terrorists who attacked us that September morning are no match for the character of our people, the resilience of our nation, or the endur- ance of our values,” the president said on Saturday in his weekly radio and Internet address a day ahead of the 10th anniversary of the attacks. “We’re doing everything in our power to protect our people,” he said. “And no matter what comes our way, as a resilient nation, we will carry on.” Obama and his wife, Michelle, planned to participate in a service project Saturday afternoon in the Washington area. Then on Sunday, the president is scheduled to visit all three sites where hijacked planes struck 10 years ago — New York City, Shanksville, Pennsylvania, and the Pentagon — before delivering eve- ning remarks at a memorial event at the Kennedy Center in Washington. His comments on Saturday were likely a preview of the message he will deliver on Sunday. Obama sought to strike a balance between remem- bering and moving forward, while also trying to summon the feeling of unity that existed during those dark days aft er terrorists killed nearly 3,000 Americans. “They wanted to deprive us of the unity that defi nes us as a people. But we will not succumb to division or suspicion,” Obama said. “We are Americans, and we are stronger and safer when we stay true to the values, freedoms and diversity that make us unique among nations.” Obama also thanked Ameri- can troops who have served in two long wars, in Iraq and Afghani- stan, launched aft er the attacks and praised the military successes that led to advances against al-Qaida and the killing of terrorist mastermind Osama bin Laden. He also reaffi rmed his commitment to winding down the confl icts he inherited. “Yes, we face a determined foe, and make no mistake — they will keep trying to hit us again,” Obama said. “But as we are showing again this weekend, we remain vigilant. We’re doing everything in our power to pro- tect our people.” Intelligence offi cials have been working around the clock to determine the validity of a new threat of a possible al-Qaida attack on New York or Washington timed to coincide with the 9/11 anniversary. Major US cities were on high alert as the nation began marking the poi- gnant 10th anniversary of the Sep- tember 11, 2001 attacks amid warn- ings of a new al-Qaida linked terror threat. Although details of the new sus- pected plot possibly involving car bombs in New York and Washington were sketchy, a US offi cial source told media the threat was credible and somewhere between “aspirational” and a “boom.” According to Th e New York Times, word of the plot was passed to US intelligence offi cers by an informer based in the border region between Afghanistan and Pakistan on Wednesday. In New York, heavily armed police patrolled the busy streets, trucks and cars were stopped and inspected at vehicle checkpoints and bomb-sniff - ing dogs scoured the subway. “I would say that people should be alert. I don’t think anybody should be panicked,” Senator Joe Lieberman, chairman of the Senate Homeland Security Committee, told CNN. Th e decision to go public with the information was “important because it alerts everybody to be on guard this weekend. And be careful,” he added. Religious leaders have been calling on their congregations to refl ect on forgiveness, coexistence with other faiths and unity as the US, while emphasizing the need to remember the 3,000 people who lost their lives in the terrorist attacks.

Zhang herself was pretty nervous when she first started working with them as she had never dealt with foreigners before. The 24-year old graduate student was employed to teach the eldest daughter, who was in fi ft h grade in primary school. Zhang was anxious to keep her employers happy and she went armed with a picture dic- tionary and little gift s for her charge. But only a few months aft er she started the job in 2007, she was replaced. “I was ‘eliminated’ because I could only tutor,” she says, adding that her replacement was an ayi (a polite Chinese term for nanny or domestic help) who could handle the house cleaning, baby-sitting and also spoke a little English. Finding such a well-qualified ayi was not easy, and Zhang Ying’s former employers had to try four other prospects before they got the ideal candidate. Zhang now works in media. Th ree years later, it’s even more diffi cult fi nd- ing good domestic help, according to Yin Jian- feng, general manager of Beijing Verymaid Inc, a nanny agency that caters to more affluent families.

As of Saturday night, at least 11 people died from the accident including nine students. briefl y Ferry toll climbs to 11 SHAOYANG, Hunan — Th e death toll from a ferry that capsized on Friday carrying students on a holiday trip has risen from eight to 11, offi cials said on Saturday. Nine students and two adults drowned aft er the ferry carry- ing 50 people, mostly students returning home for the Mid- Autumn Festival weekend, capsized at 3:20 pm on Friday in the Fuyi River, said Chen Wenhua, a publicity offi cial of Shaoyang city in Central Chi- na’s Hunan province. Workers were still searching for one missing on Saturday, aft er 38 were rescued with 20 being injured, Chen said. Th ree government offi cials have been removed from their posts. Wu Shancheng, deputy head of Shaoyang, and Tang Xianglong, head of the Tang- tianshi township, were sacked on Saturday afternoon, the Shaoyang county government announced in a statement. A maritime official in Shaoy- ang city, He Jianhua, was also sacked. An initial investigation by the Shaoyang government showed that the ferryboat cap- sized and sank because it was blocked by iron cables in the river. Witnesses said the iron cables — used for dredgers in the river — sometimes were hidden in the water, unable to be seen. Investigators also found that overloading contributed to the capsizing and sinking of the boat. Xinhua News Agency reported that the ferry is approved to carry only 14 pas- sengers, but 50 people includ- ing two boat owners were on board when the accident hap- pened. Witnesses said the boat was chartered by two schools in the town of Tangtianshi to send the students back home across the river for the Mid-Autumn Festival, a traditional Chinese holiday for family reunions that falls on Monday this year. All nine student victims are girls from the two schools, the newspaper reported. An investigation is under way, and the two boat owners, Yin Xixiang and Yin Xinquan, who survived the accident, are now in police custody, accord- ing to the Shaoyang govern- ment’s publicity department. On Saturday, 10 bodies, all covered with white blankets, were lined up at the bank of the river. Another student was sent to a nearby hospital but later died aft er treatment failed. As for the survivors, the thrilling moment in deep water will probably linger in their mind forever. Lying on the sickbed in the Shaoyang County People’s Hospital, second grader Guo Meitao from the Tangtianshi Town Middle School could not help sobbing several times while recalling how she had rescued her grandmother. Th e 14-year-old girl said she was taking the ferryboat home with her younger brother and their grandmother. “The boat left the pier and proceeded for a while, then it suddenly ran into something and capsized,” Guo said. Her 7-year-old brother man- aged to swim and crawl fran- tically onto a sand pile in the middle of the river. “I realized that my grandma was still in the water, so I hys- terically dragged her by her hair and swam towards the sand pile, too,” Guo said. With tears in eyes, the 63-year-old grandma said she would have been among the victims if not for her grand- daughter. “I was scared to death. I tried hard to cling to the boat when it capsized and swallowed some water,” the grandma said. Th ey stayed on the top of the sand pile for about half an hour, along with dozens of survivors, until a nearby sand dredger came over to ferry them to safe- ty. On a nearby sickbed in the hospital corridor on Saturday were two girls, Li Haiyan and Li Xianping, both 13, from the same high school where Guo studies. Th ey were both on a drip, lying motionlessly, with arms on their eyes to block the light. Li Haiyan’s mother said her daughter was rescued by a man, who swam into the cap- sized boat and dragged her out. “My daughter was badly drowned and she had dark lips and a black face when I first saw her in the hospital,” the middle-aged woman said. Li Xianping, her niece, man- aged to escape by herself, hold- ing a piece of wood, she said. Witnesses also said a stu- dent from the boat pulled two people out of the water but drowned himself, apparently out of exhaustion, when he was trying to rescue a third person.

Th e Tianjin Aerospace Industry Base has been built with a total invest- ment of more than 6 billion yuan ($938 million). SHAANXI Scaff olding collapse kills 7 Seven have been confi rmed dead aft er scaff olding collapsed at a construction site in the northwestern city of Xi’an early Saturday, rescuers said. Five people buried under the collapsed scaff olding have been sent to the hospital. Th e scaf- folding of a 30-story building under construction fell down, burying 12 people. Th e scaff olding chains from the 20th to 23rd fl oors broke, causing the collapse, rescuers speculated. Th e cause of the accident is under investigation. HUBEI Three Gorges to be at full capacity Th e Th ree Gorges Dam, the world’s largest water control and hydropower project, start- ed collecting water early on Sat- urday in an eff ort to reach full capacity by the end of October, said an offi cial with the project. Th e dam in Central China’s Hubei province is holding water back by discharging less to the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, the country’s longest river. Th e operation could last until the end of October or November, the offi cial said. Th e water level had been at 152 meters before the damming began on Saturday, but it will rise by 23 meters over the next two months, he added. It will be the second time for the reservoir to run at full capacity, aft er its fi rst full- capacity test in October 2010. HUNAN Hometown honors ‘China’s Schindler’ Th e 110th anniversary of the birth of Dr Ho Feng Shan (1901-1997), well known as “China’s Schindler”, was marked in his hometown of Yiyang, Central China’s Hunan prov- ince on Saturday. Ho issued about 2,000 visas to Shanghai for Jews in Austria to help them leave Europe and escape Nazism between 1938 and 1940 when he was consul- general of the “Republic of China” in Vienna. Israeli Ambassador to China Amos Nadai attended the com- memorative event and spoke highly of Ho’s humanitarian behavior to save Jews during World War II. Ho’s actions were recognized posthumously when he was awarded the title Righteous among the Nations by the Israeli organization Yad Vashem in 2001. XINHUA — CHINA DAILY By TIFFANY TAN CHINA DAILY GUIYANG — Th is capital of the southwestern prov- ince of Guizhou, where the ninth Chinese Traditional Games of Ethnic Nationali- ties opened on Saturday, is a city of surprises. How many urban parks do you know that have hundreds of mon- keys freely roaming around? Th e monkey lair is Mount Qianling Park, in Northwest- ern Guiyang. A forested park that reaches an elevation of almost 1,400 meters — in a Chinese capital city — is not something you see every day. But what’s even more sur- real is that it’s home to some 300 macaques, which openly wander the 426-hectare park and at certain times are prac- tically nose-to-nose with tourists. During my visit Friday aft ernoon, I saw close to 100 monkeys within the first hour. A few were perched on a tree beside the park entrance, waiting to score food from visitors. As my guide and I walked up the stone steps leading to Mount
