No Water at La Grulla High School concerns parents
No water and no air conditioning this morning at La Grulla High School had parents heated up and demanding answers.
“It’s real hot,” said Magdelena Lopez, a concerned mother.
With temperatures normally hitting triple digits during the summer months, going to school without air conditioning or water can be excruciating.
“There’s a lot of kids that get sick with dehydration,” said Lopez.
For half the day, the school had no running water, and because the air conditioners run on water, students had to deal with hot rooms.
But student Samantha Sepulveda said the conditions weren’t as bad as some parents made it out to be.

Jobs report reduces fears of double dip recession
The economy got a dose of good news about jobs Friday, providing what some analysts said could be evidence the economy will continue to grow slowly instead of retreating into a double-dip recession.
The Labor Department said that private employers added 67,000 new jobs in August, and that private-sector job data from the two previous months was better than initially reported. Overall, the economy lost 54,000 jobs, mainly because 114,000 temporary government census positions came to an end.

European banks beat estimates as bad loans shrink
Euro
Some of Europe’s top banks met or beat earnings expectations on Wednesday, as bad debts shrank and retail operations more than offset losses in investment banking.The banks tempered their good results, though, with a heavy dose of caution on the fragility of the economic recovery.
