U.S. CONTINUES PUSH FOR TRUCE IN GAZA
Millbrae city
manager gets
salary bump
By Angela Swartz
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Although one councilmember
was against a nearly $43,000 raise
and $20,000 bonus given to the
Millbrae city manager, the super-
majority of members believe the
raise is well-deserved and is in line
with what she was promised from
the get-go.
Councilman Reuben Holober
was the one vote against the 22
percent boost in Marcia Raines
pay from $192,996 to $235,800
following her performance review.
We discussed the item in closed
session, he said Tuesday night. I
was not in support of item in
closed session and plan to vote no
tonight.
The City
Council did
show some con-
cern when its
2014-15 budget
was approved in
June, with some
worrying that
the city is not
bringing in
enough profit.
Thats with approximately $23
million in revenue and about $26
million in expenditures. Mayor
Wayne Lee said this is the very rea-
son why Raines needs to stay.
Its (money for the raise)
already in the budget, he said.
Im concerned about four years
out from now. The important thing

In the face of grim conserva-
tion rates during one of the
worst droughts in history, local
water districts are working to
determine how to crack down on
those who waste water outdoors
after state regulators approved
fines of up to $500 a day.
Its now illegal for urban resi-
dents to water landscape to the
point of ooding or runoff ows
into streets, wash cars without
using a shutoff nozzle, use water
to wash any hard surfaces like
driveways and use decorative foun-
tains without recirculation
devices.
The State Water Resources
Control Board voted to enact the
fines but local distributors and
suppliers must determine how to
enforce the new law and some may
be looking toward watchful resi-
dents.
I think a lot of people are put-
ting the emphasis on ratting out
your neighbor. I hope this encour-
ages people to talk to each other,
said Tyrone Jue, spokesman for
the San Francisco Public Utilities
Commission. As much as its
been talked about in the media,
some people havent gotten the
message. So do the neighborly
thing and let people know theres
a drought. And maybe we can build
these neighborly relationships
through conservation efforts.
The state regulation was in
response to mid-year supply
updates that showed conservation
had been off to a slow start. Now,
local distributors are somewhat
reassured to see efforts increase
signicantly in the last month and
Water officials mull how to enforce penalty

San Brunos downtown could get boost
from a new November ballot measure to
modify an ordinance that limits building
heights, potentially raising them from the
current maximum of 50 feet to 90 feet.
The council voted 3-0 at its Tuesday night
meeting to proceed with a measure to modi-
fy Ordinance 1284. The ordinance was the
result of a 1977 voter initiative, which was
intended to preserve the existing character
of San Bruno by requiring voter approval for
high-rise developments, increased density
in existing neighborhoods and projects
encroaching upon scenic corridors and open
spaces. Mayor Jim Ruane noted its outdated
since its from 1977 based on 1974 facts.

Police probing switch
of flags on Brooklyn Bridge
NEWYORK Police are searching
for four or ve people they believe
scaled to the top of the Brooklyn
Bridges two towers in the dead of
night, disabled lights illuminating
two large American flags and then
replaced the ags with bleached-white
ones.
The security breach at one of the
citys most secured landmarks didnt
appear to be the work of terrorists or
even a political statement, said the
police departments deputy commis-
sioner for counterterrorism and intelli-
gence, but was likely done by people
familiar with climbing or bridgework
who may even have scaled the bridge
before.
We dont take these things lightly,
or as a joke, or as art or within the
realm of speech, John Miller said.
These are issues of trespass they
put themselves in danger, they put
others in danger and thats why we
investigate it.
Video footage of the security breach
shows the unidentied people walking
on the bridges footpath at about 3:10
a.m., and 20 minutes later the light on
the bridges Brooklyn tower ickers
and goes dark, Miller said. The same
thing happens about 12 minutes later
on the Manhattan tower, he said.
Locked gates midway up the main
cables leading to the tops of the towers
didnt appear to have been tampered
with, suggesting the climbers scaled
them to reach the top, Miller said.
Two police cars sit at either end of
the bridge, which stretches the East
River connecting lower Manhattan
and Brooklyn, and are fed real-time
security camera footage trained on
areas affecting the structural integrity
of the bridge, Miller said, but those
cameras didnt capture the ag bandits.
At about 5:30 a.m., construction
workers noticed the white ags, appar-
ently American ags about 20 feet by
11 feet and perhaps commercial grade,
with faded stars and stripes, police
said. Police removed the white ags
just before noon.
The ags y from above the pillars
year-round and are replaced by trans-
portation workers when they become
frayed about every two months, police
said. They are lit from the bottom by a
lamp at the base of each tower at night
lights that were covered by alu-
minum foil cooking sheets secured
with zip ties, Miller said.
More than 120,000 vehicles, 4,000
pedestrians and 3,100 bicyclists cross
the Brooklyn Bridge every day, said
the citys Department of
Transportation, which maintains it.
Tourist Johan Lund, from
Stockholm, Sweden, crossed the
bridge Tuesday and did a double take
when he noticed the white ags ap-
ping in the wind.
Wasnt there an American ag there
yesterday? he said to himself.
High-profile breaches have been
made before.
In April, a street artist who lmed
his effort scaling the Ed Koch-
Queensboro Bridge as part of an art
installation was arrested on criminal
trespass and other charges. And in
March, four skydiving enthusiasts
were charged with reckless endanger-
ment for sneaking into 1 World Trade
Center, the nations tallest building,
months earlier and lming their jump
from atop it.
Woman: Backyard near
turnpike is not a rest stop
STAHLSTOWN, Pa. A
Pennsylvania woman says she can see
drivers who pull off the side of a high-
way relieving themselves near her
backyard, and state police have been
asked to increase patrols.
The woman, Crystal King, tells
WTAE-TV that her backyard in
Stahlstown, about 50 miles southeast
of Pittsburgh, is separated from the
Pennsylvania Turnpike by only a
short fence.
Kings 11-year-old son and other
children in her yard can see people
who pull over to relieve themselves
instead of using rest areas.
King says one woman got angry
when King yelled at her to stop and
wound up throwing the human waste at
her.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
A woman whose drunken crash into
oncoming traffic broke several of her
boyfriends bones and also injured her 16-
month-old son was sentenced to ve years
in prison because she had three prior con-
victions for driving while intoxicated.
Carina Lisbet Sandoval, 27, pleaded no
contest to felony drunk driving causing
injury with three prior DUIs and the allega-
tions she had multiple victims and a minor
under 14 in the vehicle. The plea deal also
settled Sandovals DUI case from the previ-
ous October. She was immediately sen-
tenced to ve years prison with credit of 376
days.
On Jan. 7, Sandoval, who was driving on
a suspended license in
connection with the
pending DUI case,
allegedly turned left in
front of an oncoming
vehicle in an intersection
at Bayfront Expressway
and Chrysler Drive. All
passengers had to be
extricated by rst respon-
ders and were hospital-
ized. The son was treated
and released but the boyfriend suffered a
fractured pelvis, broken ribs and kidney lac-
erations.
Responding Redwood City and Menlo
Park police reported nding a case of Tecate
beer and a shot glass in the car. Sandovals
blood alcohol level was .22.
In the earlier October 2013 incident,
Sandoval was arrested after police responded
to calls of a driver traveling erratically on
two at tires on Main Street at Middleeld
Road. Open cans of Tecate beer were in the
car and her blood alcohol tested at .24,
according to the District Attorneys Ofce.

Hillary Rodham Clinton launched a new
campaign Wednesday to encourage parents
to talk, read and sing to their babies.
The former secretary of state joined commu-

Talking is Teaching: Talk Read Sing cam-
paign, which is sponsored by the Bill,
Hillary and Chelsea Clinton Foundation and
several nonprot organizations.
The initiative is aimed at raising aware-
ness, especially among low-income families,
about the importance of talking, reading and
singing to babies starting from birth.
Research shows that such activity can boost
childrens brain development, vocabulary and
school readiness.
The brain research is not only telling us,
but compelling us, to act on the understand-
ing of how important the very earliest days,
weeks and months of life are for later devel-
opment, Clinton said at a meeting of com-
munity leaders at the UCSF Benioff
Childrens Hospital Oakland.
The early childhood initiative will consist
of a multimedia campaign aimed at parents
and caregivers to highlight the importance of
simple activities such as describing objects,
singing aloud and reading aloud to children.

West Nile positive bird found
near San Mateos Central Park
Abird that tested positive for the West Nile
virus was found at 540 El Camino Real in San
Mateo, next to Central Park, according to
officials from the San Mateo County
Mosquito and Vector Control District.
District ofcials are now awaiting results
from mosquito traps. This is the second bird
found infected in San Mateo this week and
fogging took place in the northern portion
of North Central San Mateo on Monday
night and Tuesday morning after mosquitoes
tested positive in the area. The fogging was
the second treatment in the area since late
June.
AWestern Scrub Jay was reported as infect-
ed in Portola Valley July 9 and another
American Crow was found in Menlo Park July
15.
Humans, horses and other animals can
become infected with the virus if bitten by an
infected mosquito, it cannot be spread person
to person, according to the district.
From 2004 through 2013, 64 dead birds
and 16 squirrels collected in the county tested
positive for the virus.
To date in 2014, West Nile virus has been
detected in 33 counties statewide. As of last
week, 15 people have contracted West Nile
this year, more than three times as many as in
2013, according to the state Department of
Public Health.
To avoid mosquito bites and deter breeding,
residents should drain any standing water and
wear proper clothing and repellent, particu-
larly during dawn and dusk when mosquitoes
are most active.
If anyone notices a bird or squirrel carcass,
they should report it to the West Nile virus
hotline at www.westnile.ca.gov or call (877)
968-2473.

SACRAMENTO Gov. Jerry Brown said
Wednesday the arrival of unaccompanied
young migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border
is more of a humanitarian issue than a polit-
ical one.
The Democrat said the state is willing to
do its part but offered no details on what it
might do or what actions he might take.
I see this as not so much a political issue
in terms of the underage people coming
from Central America, Brown said. Its
really a humanitarian question.
Brown met with Mexicos Secretary of
Foreign Affairs Jose Antonio Meade
Kuribrena at a lunch in Sacramento ahead of
Browns four-day trade mission to the
neighboring country next week.
Both say they look for-
ward to extending
Californias ties to
Mexico by increasing
trade, university
exchanges and fighting
climate change.
The governor said
long-term solutions such
as trade and cultural
exchanges are needed in
order to improve the safety and economic
well-being of Central American countries.
In that regard, I think Mexico will play a
very important role and I would like
California, in its own way as a state, to do
whatever it can in a constructive way,
Brown said.

MENLO PARK Facebook is on a roll.
The worlds largest online social network
posted sharply higher earnings on
Wednesday as revenue from mobile advertis-
ing continued to grow, and more people used
it, more often.
The companys shares climbed nearly 4
percent in extended trading after the results
came out, signaling that they could hit a
record high when the stock market opens on
Thursday. Investors who bought and held
on to Facebook stock during the compa-
nys initial public offering two years ago
are now close to doubling their money.
Facebook Inc. (FB) said Wednesday that it
earned $788 million, or 30 cents per share,
in the April-June period. Thats up from $331
million, or 13 cents per share, in the same
quarter a year ago. Adjusted earnings were 42
cents per share, handily beating Wall Streets
expectations of 33 cents, according to a poll
by Zacks Investment Research.
Facebooks revenue jumped 61 percent to
$2.91 billion from $1.81 billion in the
same quarter a year ago. Analysts expected
$2.8 billion. This was the fth quarter in a
row that Facebook beat Wall Streets fore-
casts.

WASHINGTON Undercover
investigators using fake identities
were able to secure taxpayer-subsi-
dized health insurance under President
Barack Obamas health care law, con-
gressional investigators said
Wednesday.
The weak link seemed to be call cen-
ters that handled applications for fraz-
zled consumers unable to get through
online.
The nonpartisan Government
Accountability Office told a House
committee that its investigators were
able to get subsidized health care
under fake names in 11 out of 18
attempts even after
HealthCare.govs much maligned
online system agged some applica-
tions as problematic.
The GAO is still paying premiums
for the policies, even as the Obama
administration attempts to verify
phony documentation.
Those follow-up verication checks
also appeared to need tightening; the
GAO said parts of the fake documenta-
tion it submitted for two applications
actually got through the process.
Nonetheless, GAO audits and inves-
tigations chief Seto Bagdoyan told
the House Ways and Means
Committee that the agency has not
drawn any sweeping conclusions from
what he called its preliminary find-
ings. Afull assessment will take sev-
eral months.
In the real world, it may be difcult
for fraud artists to profit from the
nations newest social program, since
government health care subsidies are
paid directly to insurance companies.
Still, GAOs report opened another
line of attack for Republican lawmak-
ers who have relentlessly tried to kill
the 2010 Affordable Care Act. It raised
questions about new sorts of aws in
the enrollment system, which experi-
enced computer gridlock when it went
live last fall. Ultimately, 8 million
people managed to sign up for subsi-
dized health care in federal and state
exchanges that handled Obamacare
enrollment.
GAO also testied that theres still a
huge backlog of applications with
data discrepancies, even though the
administration has resolved some
600,000 cases.
Rep. Charles Boustany, R-La., said
the ndings point to more bungling
by the Obama administration. This is
simply not a question of whether one
likes the administrations health care
law; its a question of being good
stewards of taxpayer dollars, he said.
Speaking for committee Democrats,
Rep. John Lewis of Georgia said its
time for Republicans to stop trying to
dismantle the health care law and
instead start fixing problems. We
will not go back to a time when
Americans did not have access to
affordable health insurance, said
Lewis.
The Obama administration is taking
the report seriously.
We are examining this report care-
fully and will work with GAO to iden-
tify additional strategies to strength-
en our verification processes, said
spokesman Aaron Albright. At least
on paper, fraudsters risk prosecution
and heavy nes.
The GAO said its investigators con-
cocted fake identities using invalid
Social Security numbers and falsely
claiming citizenship or legal resi-
dence. In other cases, they made up
income gures that would disqualify
them from getting subsidies.

Californias salmon,
steelhead get help
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
FRESNO State and federal wildlife officials have
unveiled ambitious plans aimed at helping endangered
salmon and steelhead thrive again in Central California
rivers.
The fish were abundant, migrating from the Pacific
through the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta and up rivers, but
dams were built, blocking 90 percent of passageways to
their historical spawning areas at the heart of California.
By the 1990s, the sh were nearly extinct and given protec-
tions under the federal Endangered Species Act.
Chuck Bonham, director of the states Department of Fish
and Wildlife, said Wednesday that California and the
National Marine Fisheries Service worked jointly on com-
plementary plans that include no mandates but rather volun-
tary buy-in from other agencies and groups to restore the
sh populations.
This is a bold vision, but its entirely feasible, Bonham
said. Its very doable, yet it hinges on solid partnerships
to get to that goal.
California this year budgeted $38 million for measures such
as monitoring salmon numbers,removing barriers to sh and
repairing gravel beds where the sh spawn.
Contractors processing applications
for the government told the GAO their
role was not to ferret out potential
fraud.There is no provision to look for
fraud, in the contract itself, said
Bagdoyan.
Five of six bogus phone applications
went through successfully. The one
exception involved an applicant who
refused to provide a Social Security
number.
Six online applications were
snagged by an identity checking
system. But investigators just dialed a
call center and all six were approved.
That seemed to be an open pathway
to coverage.
The GAO also tried to check the
reliability of counselors providing in-
person assistance. In ve out of six
cases,investigators were unable to get
help. In the nal case, the counselor
correctly told the undercover
investigator that the agents stated
income would not qualify for
subsidized coverage.

hope educating consumers will prevent
them from needing to issue nes.
First and foremost [education] will
always be our approach and the penalty
enforcement will be a last resort. If some-
one chooses to willingly not comply with
the state regulations to restrict water use
after repeated warnings, were going to plan
to enforce some sort of ne, Jue said. It
just gives us another way to educate people
and encourage conservation. Utilities
should look at this as another tool in our
conservation tool kit.
The SFPUC would likely set up a hotline
for residents to report those who they think
are violating the new rule. It may also hire
new employees or reassign current staff to
make contact with those who are found to be
violating the law, Jue said.
The SFPUC serves San Francisco resi-
dents and wholesales to the Mid-Peninsula
Water District and the California Water
Service Company, which serve San Mateo
County communities.
The SFPUC called for a 10 percent volun-
tary reduction in February and, as of
Monday, customers have only hit 6.6 per-
cent, Jue said. The utility, however, will
only be enforcing the new rule in San
Francisco and each distributor will be
responsible for its own jurisdiction, Jue
said.
The public has until Aug. 1 to comment
and utilities must respond with implementa-
tion plans, Jue said.
The Board of Directors for the Mid-
Peninsula Water District, which serves pri-
marily Belmont, will meet Thursday night
to discuss enforcement of the new regula-
tions. However, the small district doesnt
have police power so it may need to look
to Belmont for enforcement assistance,
Dave Warden, Mid-Peninsula Water District
board member, wrote in an email.
Local water agencies
Cal Water, a statewide distributor that
serves several San Mateo County communi-
ties, has been ahead of the game with con-
servation requests and implemented manda-
tory restrictions May 1, said Yvonne
Kingman, Cal Water corporate communica-
tions manager.
Including the states four recent mandates,
Cal Water has 10 actions listed on its unau-
thorized water use list. Customers must
repair any leaks theyre notied of, cant l l
swimming pools, restaurants cannot serve
water unless a patron requests and cannot
use water for construction purposes such as
dust control unless no other method can be
used, according to the rule.
Its rule has enforcement measures already
in place and currently Cal Water customers
are given a warning or restrictive flow
devices are installed, Kingman said.
Up to now, were still educating our cus-
tomers on [our rule] and the unauthorized
water uses, so thats been our tactic, to
achieve compliance through education,
Kingman said.
But in response to the changing laws, Cal
Water will coordinate with the California
Public Utilities Commission to devise an
enforcement plan, Kingman said.
If we nd that after a warning that people
are still egregiously using water, we could
install a ow restrictive device and now,
with the state water boards action, well
work with the [California Public Utilities
Commission] on how we might apply their
enforcement actions for ourselves, but its
still unclear, Kingman said.
Conservation efforts
Although Cal Water customers on the
MidPeninsula have only cut back 2 percent
over the last year and South San Francisco
an additional 7 percent, its consumers have
greatly reduced consumption over the past
eight years, Kingman said.
Since 2006, Cal Water customers on the
MidPeninsula have cut back by 16 percent
and South San Francisco customer demand
has dropped by 10 percent, Kingman said.
The SFPUC is also focusing on educa-
tion and awareness during the summer
months to achieve its goals, Jue said. The
utility seeks to save 7.6 billion gallons
by Dec. 31 yet its now at only 2.8 billion
gallons since it called for conservation in
February, Jue said.
Although rationing is currently volun-
tary, if conservation statistics remain
grim, the SFPUC could start issuing man-
dates, Jue said.
Its still on the table because we know
usage can still fluctuate from the end of the
year. If everyone can meet the 10 percent
conservation goal we feel comfortable
keeping it [voluntary] through the end of
the year, but that can change, Jue said.
Usually if it starts spiking and its anoth-
er dry year next winter, we could be talking
a whole other ball game.

WASHINGTON Six years ago the
Social Security Administration embarked
on an aggressive plan to replace outdated
computer systems overwhelmed by a grow-
ing flood of disability claims. Nearly
$300 million later, the new system is
nowhere near ready and agency officials are
struggling to salvage a project racked by
delays and mismanagement, according to
an internal report commissioned by the
agency.
In 2008, Social Security said the project
was about two to three years from comple-
tion. Five years later, it was still two to
three years from being done, according to
the report by McKinsey and Co., a man-
agement consulting firm.
Today, with the project still in the test-
ing phase, the agency cant say when it
will be completed or how much it will cost.
In the meantime, people filing for dis-
ability claims face long delays at nearly
every step of the process delays that
were supposed to be reduced by the new
processing system.
The program has invested $288 million
over six years, delivered limited function-
ality, and faced schedule delays as well as
increasing stakeholder concerns, the
report said.
As a result, agency leaders have decided
to reset the program in an effort to save
it, the report said. As part of that effort,
Social Security brought in the outside con-
sultants from McKinsey to figure out what
went wrong.
They found a massive technology initia-
tive with no one in charge no single
person responsible for completing the
project. They issued their report in June,
though it was not publicly released.
As part of McKinseys recommenda-
tions, acting Social Security
Commissioner Carolyn Colvin appointed
Terrie Gruber to oversee the project last
month. Gruber had been an assistant
deputy commissioner.
We asked for this, this independent
look, and we werent afraid to hear what the
results are, Gruber said in an interview
Wednesday. We are absolutely committed
to deliver this initiative and by imple-
menting the recommendations we obtained
independently, we think we have a very
good prospect on doing just that.
The revelations come at an awkward time
for Colvin. President Barack Obama nomi-
nated Colvin to a full six-year term in
June, and she now faces confirmation by
the Senate. Colvin was deputy commis-
sioner for 3 1/2 years before becoming act-
ing commissioner in February 2013.
The House Oversight Committee is also
looking into the program, and whether
Social Security officials tried to bury the
McKinsey report. In a letter to Colvin on
Wednesday, committee leaders requested all
documents and communications about the
computer project since March 1.
The letter was signed by Rep. Darrell
Issa, R-Calif., chairman of the Oversight
committee, and Reps. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio,
and James Lankford, R-Okla. They called
the project an IT boondoggle.
Social Security spent $300Mon IT boondoggle
sessing a firearm.
A man later identified as Munguia-
Hernandez allegedly entered the womans
Edinburgh Street home about 12:30 p.m.
March 17. After the woman returned from
grocery shopping to find an intruder, he
attacked the woman multiple times with a
stun gun on her neck, face and arms before
binding and gagging her and placing a bag
over her head then placing her into a clos-
et. He reportedly showed a handgun and
threatened to kill the woman and her fami-
ly and set the house on fire if she contacted
police. As she sat in the closet, the attack-
er came and went from the home several
times to use the womans ATM card and
remove goods like a television and jewel-
ry.
The next day, the suspect forced the
woman to strip and shower to remove the
tape marks from her face. After he left for
good, the woman was able to free herself
and call police.
Using surveillance footage from on of
the four ATM used, San Mateo police iden-
tified and arrested Munguia-Hernandez 12
days later.
Police reported finding the Taser and
stolen property in Munguia-Hernandezs
home.
Munguia-Hernandez returns to court Aug.
8 to enter a Superior Court plea and poten-
tially set a trial date.
He remains in custody without bail.

WASHINGTON At an impasse on
immigration, House Republicans and
Senate Democrats advanced competing
proposals Wednesday for dealing with tens
of thousands of young migrants showing
up at the southern border. Each side quick-
ly ruled the others approach unacceptable,
leaving any solution unclear with
Congress annual August recess looming.
Unless Democrats capitulate, Were
going to be at an impasse and we will have
earned even greater disdain from the
American people than we already have,
Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., said.
But Republicans were having difficulty
agreeing even among themselves.
At a morning meeting of House
Republicans, Speaker John Boehner urged
action to address the border crisis, remind-
ing GOP lawmakers that the Border Patrol
and other agencies would be running out of
money in coming months because of the
heavy influx of unaccompanied minors and
families at the border.
A working group appointed by Boehner
rolled out proposals including sending in
the National Guard and changing a 2008
trafficking victims law to allow Central
American kids to be turned around quickly
at the border and sent back home.
Lawmakers announced plans to chop
President Barack Obamas $3.7 billion
emergency spending request for the border
crisis down to $1.5 billion.
But as they left the meeting in the base-
ment of the Capitol, some of the more con-
servative members of the GOP caucus made
clear they were unconvinced.
If Republicans move forward on this,
were now jumping right in the middle of
President Obamas nightmare and making
it ours, said Rep. John Fleming, R-La.
Fleming said he worried that any House-
passed bill will be turned on its head by
the Senate and actually make the problem
even worse.
Fleming said Boehner told Republicans
he was undecided about bringing the plan
to the floor because he didnt know
whether there were enough votes to pass
i t .
In his comments to reporters after the
meeting, Boehner was noncommittal.
This discussion with our members is
going to continue, but weve not made any
decisions, he said. Id like to act. Weve
got a humanitarian crisis on the border
that has to be dealt with.

TOCOA, Honduras Elsa Ramirez already
had lost two brothers to violence in this
remote Caribbean region when co-workers
handling clandestine cocaine ights from
South America murdered her husband four
months ago.
Then the killers came looking for her.
Ramirez had seen Facebook messages and
heard from relatives that mothers travelling
to the United States with children would be
allowed to stay if they made it across the
border, so she took off for the North with
her 8-year-old, Sandra, and 5-year-old Cesar,
named for his dead father.
Two weeks and many thousands of miles
later, a U.S. Immigration and Customs
Enforcement ight brought Ramirez back to
the badlands of Honduras in Colon
province, still fearing her husbands killers
and now lacking a plan for survival.
I didnt want to come back, she said. I
wanted to give my children a better life and I
cant do that here.
Overwhelmed by unaccompanied minors
and women with children crossing illegally,
U.S. authorities have stepped up deporta-
tions back to Central America. Ramirez was
one of 58 women and children who returned
last week on a U.S. ight to San Pedro Sula,
considered one of the most dangerous cities
in the world.
Illegal immigration of Central American
families and unaccompanied children spiked
this year as rumors circulated that children,
and women with children, would be released
in the United States. Since Oct. 1, more than
57,000 children and 55,000 people travel-
ing as families, mostly from El Salvador,
Honduras, have been arrested. The spike
prompted the Obama administration to
expand detention space for families and to
deport them more quickly sending with
them a stern message that there are no free
passes for migrants coming illegally.

MILLBRAE I
recently read an
article in the trade
journal American
Funeral Director
about the famous
quote by the late
Sir William Ewart
Gladstone, the celebrated English four term
Prime Minister who was known for his
colorful oratories and speeches on the floor
of Parliament. This 19
th
century statesman
was renowned for many unique sayings, but
he is most noted among Funeral Directors
for saying this: Show me the manner in
which a nation cares for its dead, and I will
measure with mathematical exactness the
tender mercies of its people, their respect for
the laws of the land and their loyalty to high
ideals. This quote is very lyrical and well
thought out. It has become a long time
custom for many Funeral Homes to display
this quote on a plaque for all to see. The
meaning is obvious and is a direct
comparison between caring for our fallen
loved ones and the way we care for
ourselves, our community and our society.
To many observers it may appear that
weve lost the motivation to care for our
loved ones in a proper way, and that our
society has become misguided. Taking into
consideration the way our government
leaders sometimes act, without the maturity
to function unselfishly, is disturbing, and the
reasons they got elected can be alarming.
Also, in the eyes of logical people violence
should be against our nature, but seemingly
is embedded in our way of life. It is topsy-
turvy for a culture to view cruelty and tribal
brutality as a form of normality, and for love
to be viewed as an obscenity.
Yes, some say our society is falling apart,
but looking at the overall big picture I see
most people yearning to live a peaceful and
courteous life with those around them. Most
people are not violent. Most people want to
be accepted. Most people want to be happy.
Remember that hate is taught.
Wouldnt it make more sense for love to
be taught? Teaching youngsters to be
curious and to enjoy the differences of
those around them would be a good start.
They say that its hard to teach old dogs new
tricks. But old dogs will not be here forever,
and with effort every young dog could be
cultivated with ideals for supporting others
with respect. Putting this into practice may
seem daunting, but its not impossible and
over time could be valuable for our future.
Humanity has always been burdened with
a good percentage of bad guys. But, all in
all, the ideals that the majority of us value
and strive to promote, life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness, are shared in our core.
Going back to Gladstones quote, I see
the vast majority of the families we serve at
the CHAPEL OF THE HIGHLANDS
deeply committed to doing the right thing
for their loved ones. They come to us with a
desire for closure and to enact final tributes
for those theyve cherished. Whether public
or private their feelings are similar, and
showing one last bit of proper care is their
goal. For me this is a sign of hope, showing
that overall we are a society of good people
with a nature to live in harmony and peace.
If you ever wish to discuss cremation,
funeral matters or want to make pre-
planning arrangements please feel free to
call me and my staff at the CHAPEL OF
THE HIGHLANDS in Millbrae at (650)

EINDHOVEN, Netherlands Victims of
the Malaysian jetliner shot down over
Ukraine returned at last Wednesday to Dutch
soil in 40 wooden cofns, solemnly and
gently carried to 40 identical hearses, ags
at half-staff apping in the wind.
The carefully choreographed, nearly
silent ceremony contrasted sharply with the
boom of shells and shattered glass in east-
ern Ukraine as pro-Russian rebels fought to
hang onto territory and shot down two
Ukrainian ghter jets. The bold new attack
showed the separatists are not shying away
from shooting at the skies despite interna-
tional outrage and grief at the downing of
Malaysia Airlines Flight 17.
Even though they are still unidentied,
the corpses that arrived on two military
transport planes in Eindhoven were
embraced by a nation unmoored by the loss
of so many people caught in someone elses
faraway war.
Boys going to visit their grandparents, a
ight attendant hurrying to get home, a
bouncer heading to see his sweetheart were
among the 298 victims of the jetliner that
was blown out of the sky on July 17, inten-
sifying anger at the separatists suspected of
bringing it down with a surface-to-air mis-
sile.
Nearly a week later, international investi-
gators still dont have unfettered access to
the crash site, some remains have yet to be
recovered, and armed men roam the region,
defying their government.
Investigators in a lab in southern
England began studying the planes black
boxes Wednesday in hopes of learning
about the Boeing 777s nal minutes. The
Dutch Safety Board, which has taken con-
trol of the investigation, said the cockpit
voice recorder suffered damage but showed
no sign of manipulation, and its recordings
were intact. Specialists will start studying
the ight data recorder Thursday.
Families of passengers moved to a new
stage of grief as the bodies began arriving
in the Netherlands, the country that bore the
heaviest death toll.
The families had spent days agonizing in
wait while their loved ones remains lay in
sweltering elds in eastern Ukraine before
being gradually shifted by truck, train and
plane.
If I have to wait ve months for identi-
cation, I can do it, said Silene Fredriksz-
Hoogzand, whose son, Bryce, and his girl-
friend Daisy Oehlers died in the crash.
Waiting while the bodies were in the eld
and in the train was a nightmare.
On a day of national mourning, ags ew
at half-staff on Dutch government buildings
and family homes around this nation of 17
million.
Church bells rang out around the country
as the Dutch and Australian military trans-
port planes taxied to a standstill. King
Willem-Alexander clasped the hand of his
wife, Queen Maxima, as the couple grimly
watched uniformed pallbearers carry the
cofns slowly from the planes to a eet of
waiting hearses.
Almost the only sound was of boots
marching across the ground and ags ap-
ping in the wind.
Then as the last hearses drove away,
applause briey broke out. Along the route,
there was more applause from people gath-
ered along the roadsides. Some tossed
ower petals at the motorcade.
From the airport, they drove under mili-
tary police escort to the central city of
Hilversum where forensic experts waited at
a military barracks to carry out the
painstaking task of identifying the
remains. Prime Minister Mark Rutte says
many bodies could be identied quickly, but
some families may have to wait weeks.
Two more planeloads of victims will be
own Thursday to Eindhoven to a similar
ceremony, the Dutch government said.
The rebels, undeterred, fought to hold
onto territory and said they attacked two
Ukrainian air force jets in the same area
where the passenger plane fell.
Ukraines Defense Ministry said the Su-
25s were shot about 30 kilometers (20
miles) south of the wreckage from the
Malaysian jet. The separatist group
Donetsk Peoples Republic said on its web-
site that one of the pilots was killed and
another was being sought by rebel ghters.
The attack revived questions about the
rebels weapons capabilities and how
much support and training they are getting
from Russia. The U.S. accuses Russia of
backing the separatists and fueling
Ukraines conflict, which has brought
Russias relations with the West and key
trading partners in Europe to a two-decade
low.
White House deputy national security
adviser Ben Rhodes said the downing of the
ghter jets speaks to the pattern weve
seen over the last several weeks, which is
Russian-backed separatists armed with
Russian anti-aircraft posing risk to aircraft
in Ukraine.
Rhodes added: The only aircraft theyre
not taking responsibility for is MH-17,
referring to the Malaysian jetliner.
He said the U.S. believes it has a pretty
clear case that responsibility for downing
the Malaysian plane lies with the Russian-
backed separatists. He acknowledged that
the U.S. does not know who pulled the
trigger and said that would be the hardest
thing to determine.

China detains
employees of suspect meat seller
BEIJING Five employees of a compa-
ny accused of selling expired beef and chick-
en to McDonalds, KFC and other restau-
rants in China were detained by police
Wednesday after an official said illegal
activity was an organized effort by the sup-
plier.
Chinas food safety agency said on its
website that its investigators found unspec-
ied illegal activity by Husi Food Co. but
gave no conrmation expired meat had been
found or other details.
Some of the illegal conduct was an
arrangement organized by the company,

bureau, Gu Zhenghua, told the official
Xinhua News Agency.
Those in criminal detention include Husis
quality manager, the Shanghai police

Toleration of Gaza
citizens of Hamas terrorists
Editor,
I respect Samia Shomans letter
(The universal, priceless value of
blood in the June 23 edition of the
Daily Journal) regarding the agony
occurring in Gaza and in Israel.
Blood, death and destruction always
bring tears and sympathy. I feel that
way too. However, Palestinians in
Gaza elected Hamas leaders to govern
their society, even with the Hamas
vow to eliminate Israel and all Jewish
peoples.
The question remains: Why do the
residents of the Gaza strip tolerate the
Hamas terrorists who announce such a
bloody and destructive objective for
all Jews and Israelis? Is Hamas not
bringing death and destruction upon
their own people? Tell me; why not?

Israel and proportionality
Editor,
As Arab terrorists from Gaza launch
quarter-ton warheads on Israels
cities, Europe, President Obama and
Bill Clinton demand that Israel act
with proportionality and protect the
civilians that Gaza thugs use as
human shields. What hypocrites. To
distract attention from his trysts,
Clinton launched a war on Serbia 15
years ago. In six weeks of terror, the
United States and NATO dropped
14,000 depleted uranium and cluster
bombs, red 2,300 rockets, killed
2,000 civilians and destroyed 40,000
homes, 300 schools and libraries and
20 hospitals.
On the pretext of protecting
Muslims, more than 200,000
Christians were forced from their
homes in the Kosovo province.
When the United States and Europe go
to war, proportionality stays home.
But when Israel fends off the same
savage ideology that has brought
genocide to Sudan, Syria and Iraq, the
United States and Europe insist that
Israel behave differently from
Christian nations.

Problems in South San Francisco
Editor,
Robert Nice is absolutely correct in
his letter Overbuilding exacerbating
drought in the July 21 edition of the
Daily Journal. Now that the South
San Francisco Centennial Project has
been approved by our local govern-
ment, you can expect an increased
demand for our natural resources,
especially water. With a weak El Nio
anticipated in 2015, will we be asked
to reduce our water consumption by
40 percent due to decreasing water
supplies? Those of us who have lived
through several California droughts
have already adopted water conserva-
tion methods: military showers,
sponge bathing, etc.
Is there anymore fat to cut off? Wi t h
increased high density housing, ofce
and retail, there will be an increased
congestion of cars, bicycles and
pedestrians. Moreover, dont be sur-
prised if visitors and friends living in
these new complexes park their car in
your neighborhood since these new
complexes no longer include parking
for visitors, and in San Francisco,
new buildings dont include parking
for tenants because they encourage
mass transit. San Francisco still has a
parking problem because many visi-
tors are from outside San Francisco.
In addition, there are pedestrians
oblivious to trafc on Hazelwood
Drive in South San Francisco. They
carry their takeout food and step onto
the street without checking for trafc.
If South San Francisco wants to gen-
erate more revenue, they need to tick-
et jaywalkers. We are fast becoming
L.A. North.

U-T San Diego
I
n 2000, it was the disputed
hanging chads on Florida bal-
lots that exposed major failings
in the mechanics of how America
voted.
Reforms were launched. In 2004, it
was the bubblegate asco that cost
Councilwoman Donna Frye the elec-
tion for mayor of San Diego and
exposed failings in the mechanics of
how San Diego voted.
Reforms were launched. In 2014, it
was the closeness of the primary elec-
tion for state controller that exposed
major failings in California recount
laws. Reforms are needed.
In the June 3 statewide primary,
Ashley Swearengin, the Republican
mayor of Fresno, nished rst with
24.8 percent of the 4 million votes
cast. But the second spot in the
November runoff remained undecided
for more than six weeks. Democrat
Betty Yee, a member of the state
Board of Equalization, nished a
minuscule 481 votes ahead of
Democratic Assemblyman John Perez,
who asked for a recount.
Thats when the absurdity of the
recount laws came into sharp focus.
Recounts are not automatic in close
elections in California. Any candidate
or voter can demand a recount as long
as he or she is willing to pay for it.
Its hard to say how much it costs
because every county sets its own
pricing. Candidates can try to game
the system by requesting recounts not
just in certain counties where he or
she did well but even in certain
precincts. If a recount under way sud-
denly changes the outcome, the candi-
date can call a halt to the counting
right then and there and declare victo-
ry except that the opponent could
then call for recounts in other coun-
ties and other precincts.
Perez called for a recount in 15
counties, starting with Kern and
Imperial. The results didnt change
much and Perez nally conceded the
race late Friday. The recount scheduled
to start Monday in San Bernardino
County was called off.
There is no deadline for counties in
doing a recount. Yet, time was of the
essence. Yee, Perez and Swearengin
obviously had much at stake. And
millions of general election ballots
must be printed and in the mail to
military service members and other
Californians living overseas by Sept.
5.
This is not the way it should work.
The outcome of elections should
not depend on the ability of a candi-
date to pay for a recount. Recounts
should be automatically triggered in
extremely close elections and the
state should pay for them.
The outcome of elections should
not be determined by a partial recount
of votes in cherry-picked precincts
and counties. If there is to be a
recount, it should be in all precincts
in all counties.
Assemblyman Kevin Mullin, D-
South San Francisco, says he will
introduce legislation next month to
overhaul the recount laws. We look
forward to seeing just what he propos-
es.
The fair and accurate counting, or
recounting, of votes is at the core of
democracy. Californias laws are a
mockery of fairness and accuracy.
California recount laws a mockery of democracy
Welcome to
the dungeon
T
hey were words you really never want to hear
when first arriving home. I think the neighbors
are weird.
Weird? What did that mean? They were a tad hypocriti-
cal in venting about my barky dogs when their own
doesnt have much of an off button. They like to sit
around the backyard discussing how they are smarter
than their business school professors and proclaiming
how successful and important they will soon be. Oh, and
one obviously didnt get the drought memo and really
likes to water his dead front lawn with his shirt off
not a win for either the grass or the aesthetics of the
neighborhood.
Otherwise, they were fairly bland twentysomething
types who dont raise many
eyebrows. We are on a smile
and wave basis. The shirtless
wonder once offered to help
me carry in my trunk full of
groceries. One day we might
even remember each others
names without a whole lot of
brain racking.
So what could be so odd
about them? Maybe they were
bopping squirrels on the
head. Perhaps a peek into the
bedroom window would reveal
a creepy doll collection. Possibly I was living next door
to the next Dahmer, Bundy and Manson trio.
I paused the overactive imagination and asked what
was meant by that opinion.
I think theyre playing Dungeons and Dragons, came
the pronouncement.
Dear lord, not a fantasy role-playing game! Homicide
and mannequin fetishes, fine. But sitting around a table
with a 12-sided die and fighting battles that only exist in
ones head? Say it isnt so.
Seems the neighbors were overheard in the backyard
choosing characters and accumulating experience points.
Somebody enlisted a dragon and another person declared
themselves a wizard. There might have been an aqua elf.
All was good until one player went rogue and, without
consulting with this army, spent most of its resources on
some sort of crystal. Apparently, this is a big no-no in
head games just as it would be out here in the real world.
The possibility that the neighbors were closet geeks
seemed a tad far-fetched at first. For one, their house
doesnt have a basement. Plus, they were into adulthood,
for crying out loud. They should be sitting around a
video game console or computer racking up ammo and
drawing blood like normal people.
Besides, sometimes a female came over to visit. That
had to be a sign that they werent the completely social-
ly awkward wallflowers that I recall the D&D fans of my
childhood to be.
I think the girl plays, too, I was told in response to
my theory.
So much for my outdated stereotypes although maybe
she is simply confused by the gamer babe label used at
San Francisco Giants games.
And so much for my surprise that Dungeons and
Dragons still flourished. I assumed the only place one
found a multi-sided set of dice anymore was the county
Elections Office to pick precincts for post-Election Day
vote checks. Admittedly, some creative folks with a soft
spot for costumes opt for live action role playing or a
trek to the Renaissance Fair. But I didnt really think
anyone still preferred a fantasy game requiring little
more than miniature figurines and a piece of paper. How
vintage. Next up, they can dust off the Pokemon cards.
Coincidentally, just this week I learned from news
radio that Dungeons & Dragons actually celebrated its
40th anniversary this year. Recently, I also received
some insight into the draw, at least according to the
knights and druids next door, while painting near the
common backyard fence.
Its not even that were winning or that the game is
that good, one explained to the others in what might
have been a pre-tournament pep talk. This role-playing
Tony Robbins must be the one who went on the unautho-
rized crystal shopping spree. Its that we are playing
with such a great group and you dont always get that.
Possibly there are some life lessons to be had.
But the neighbors are still weird.

Stocks that moved substantially or traded heavily Wednesday on the
New York Stock Exchange and the Nasdaq Stock Market:

Big movers
By Ken Sweet
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK The stock market
eked out a record high Wednesday, as
investors weighed positive earnings
from the technology industry against
disappointing news from Boeing and
other companies.
Biotechnology stocks were among
the largest gainers. Among big tech
names, Apples earnings topped Wall
Street expectations, helped by rising
shipments of iPhones. Microsoft also
announced results that beat forecasts.
So far, with less than a fourth of
U.S.-listed companies reporting their
quarterly financial performance,
results have been coming in better
than expected.
About 72 percent of Standard &
Poors 500 companies that have
reported earnings have beaten expecta-
tions, and 73 percent have beaten
sales forecasts.
Its a little early, but things seem to
be coming in OK, said Sahak
Manuelian, managing director of equi-
ty trading at Wedbush Securities.
Investors have become increas-
ingly optimistic about the latest
quarter. On June 30, they expected
earnings to rise 4.9 percent from a
year earlier. They now expect earn-
ings to increase 5.5 percent.
The S&P 500 rose 3.48 points, or
0.2 percent, to close at 1,987.01,
beating its previous record from July 3
by less than two points.
The Nasdaq composite rose 17.68
points, or 0.4 percent, to end at
4,473.70.
The Dow Jones industrial average
bucked the trend. It fell 26.91 points,
or 0.2 percent, to 17,086.63, and was
dragged down by Boeing.
The aircraft maker slipped $3.03, or
2 percent, to $126.71, the biggest fall
in the Dow, after reporting revenue
Wednesday that missed analysts
expectations.
The Dow is a price-weighted index
that has 30 stocks, so the movement
of just one company can carry extra
weight. Because Boeing is one of the
Dows most expensive stocks, it has
an outsized impact.
Biotechnology stocks, meanwhile,
helped lift the other major indexes.
Puma Biotechnology, a drug devel-
opment company, soared after the
company disclosed positive trial
results for an experimental breast can-
cer drug. Puma rose $174.40, or 295
percent, to $233.43. Biogen Idec rose
$33.93, or 11 percent, to $337.60
after its quarterly results came in above
investors expectations.
Unlike last week, investors were
less focused on turmoil in Israel and
Ukraine. However, market strategists
say that with markets trading at all-
time highs, any bad news could weigh
on U.S. stocks.
Geopolitical flare-ups, European
bank-related market jitters, todays
stretched valuations and relatively low
market volatility leave (the market)
vulnerable, Russ Koesterich, chief
investment strategist at Blackrock,
wrote in a note to investors.
In other markets, the yield on the
10-year Treasury note was unchanged
at 2.47 percent from Tuesday.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON Out of a seemingly hol-
low recovery from the Great Recession, a
more durable if still slow-growing U.S.
economy has emerged.
That conclusion, one held by a growing
number of economists, might surprise
many people. After all, in the ve years
since the recession officially ended,
Americans pay has basically stagnated.
Millions remain unemployed or have aban-
doned their job searches. Economic growth
is merely plodding along.
Yet as the economy has slowly healed,
analysts say it has replaced some critical
weaknesses with newfound strengths.
Among the trends:
Fewer people are piling up credit card
debt or taking on risky mortgages. This
should make growth more sustainable and
avoid a cycle of extreme booms and busts.
Banks are more protable and holding
additional cash to help protect against a
repeat of the 2008 market meltdown.
More workers hold advanced degrees.
Education typically leads to higher wages
and greater job security, reducing the likeli-
hood of unemployment.
Inflation is under control. Runaway
price increases would be destructive. Low
ination can lay a foundation for growth.
Millions who have reached retirement
age are staying on the job. This lessens the
economic drag from retiring baby boomers
and helps sustain consumer spending.
Over the long run, such trends could help
produce a sturdier economy, one less prone
to the kind of runaway growth that often
ends in a steep and sudden slump.
The downside? At least in the short term,
these same trends have prevented the econ-
omy from accelerating. When consumers
borrow and spend less freely, for example,
they restrain growth.
And when people seek to work longer or
become more educated, often there arent
enough jobs for all of them, at least not
right away. People with advanced degrees
can often nd lower-paying jobs that dont
require much education. But when they do,
they tend to push some people with only a
high school education into unemployment.
One of the most striking trends in the
recovery has been an aversion to personal
debt. Atypical U.S. household owes $7,122
in credit card debt, $1,618 less than at the
start of the recession, according to analysis
of New York Federal Reserve data by the rm
Nerd Wallet. (After factoring in ination,
the balance is $2,900 lower.)
Kevin Quigley, a massage therapist,
found that by the time the recession struck,
his card balance had ballooned to as much as
$35,000. The 33-year old from University
City, Missouri ascribed that to thinking
that I needed a lot of things.
Beginning in 2010, he consolidated his
card debt and reduced it by $300 a month
until it disappeared.
Peace of mind became more important to
me than stuff, Quigley said.
U.S. economy, though sluggish, may now be sturdier
Oil gains on sharp drop in U.S. supplies
The price of oil rose Wednesday after the government
reported that U.S. oil supplies rose more than expected.
The benchmark U.S. oil contract for September delivery
gained 73 cents to $103.12 a barrel on the New York
Mercantile Exchange. Brent crude for September delivery,
a benchmark for international oils, rose 70 cents to
$108.03 on the ICE Futures exchange in London.
The Energy Department reported that U.S. oil supplies
fell by 4 million barrels last week, a sharper decline than
the 2.6 million barrels expected by analysts surveyed by
Platts, the energy information arm of McGraw-Hill
Financial.
On the geopolitical front, U.S. Secretary of State John
Kerry arrived in Tel Avi v, seeking to renew a push for a
cease-re after an earlier proposal by Egypt was rejected.
Israeli troops battled Hamas militants near a southern
Gaza Strip town even as Kerry reported some progress in
his efforts.
Google offers electric shuttles for pilot program
MOUNTAIN VIEW Google is proposing to fund four
electric shuttles that will provide free transportation to
residents of Mountain View, where the technology giant
is headquartered, a newspaper reported.
The two-year pilot program is expected to be approved
by the Mountain View City Council in September and the
buses deployed by late October.
Were thrilled to be working with the city of Mountain
View to provide neighbors a new and green way to
get around town, Googles transportation manager,
Kevin Mathy, said in a statement.
The proposed pilot program comes as Google and other
technology companies have faced criticism and protests
for running shuttle buses for their employees in San
Francisco.
Business briefs
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON U.S. economic
growth this year will likely be at the
weakest pace since the Great
Recession ended, the International
Monetary Fund said, mostly because of
a sharp, weather-related contraction in
the rst quarter.
But the global lending organization
said Wednesday that it still expects
growth resumed in the April-June quar-
ter and will remain healthy in the sec-
ond half of this year and next.
In its annual report on the U.S. econ-
omy, the IMF projects growth will be
just 1.7 percent this year, down from a
2 percent estimate in June. Thats
below last years 1.9 percent pace and
would be the slowest annual rate since
the recession ended in June 2009.
The IMFs outlook is more pes-
simistic than that of the Federal
Reserve, which expects growth of at
least 2.1 percent. But it is in line with
most other private economists.
The IMF says growth will rebound in
the April-June quarter to a healthy 3
percent to 3.5 percent and remain in
that range for the rest of this year. It
also projects the economy will expand
3 percent in 2015, which would be the
best showing since 2005.
Behind that pessimistic number, we
do see a relatively optimistic view of
the economy going forward, said
Nigel Chalk, deputy director of the
IMFs Western Hemisphere depart-
ment.
At the same time, the IMF expects
unemployment to remain elevated for a
longer period than the Fed does. Thats
partly because the IMF calculates that
up to a third of those who have stopped
looking for work since the recession
will resume their job searches. Not all
will immediately get hired, however.
And it also projects that millions of
those who are working part-time but
want full-time jobs will keep search-
ing. That would give the unemployed
more competition, slowing the rates
decline.
The IMF projects unemployment
wont fall to 5.5 percent until 2018,
the IMF report said. Thats two years
later than the Fed projects.
Unemployment at 5.5 percent is con-
sidered full employment, because
rates below that level could spark
higher ination.

SAN FRANCISCO Facebook and
most other social networks are built
on the premise that just about every-
thing should be shared except the
money those posts produce.
At least two services are trying to
change that. Bubblews, a social net-
work that came out of out of an
extended test phase last week, pays
users for posts that attract traffic and
advertisers. Another company, Bonzo
Me, has been doing something simi-
lar since early July.
I just feel like everyone on social
networks has been taken advantage of
for long enough, says Michael
Nusbaum, a Morristown, New Jersey
surgeon who created Bonzo Me.
Facebook has been making a ton of
money, and the people providing the
content arent getting anything.
Bonzo Me is paying its users up to
80 percent of its ad revenue for the
most popular posts.
Bubblews compensation formula is
more complex. Its based on the num-
ber of times that each post is clicked
on or provokes some other kind of
networking activity. To start, the
payments are expected to translate
into just a penny per view, comment
or like. Bubblews plans to pay its
users in $50 increments, meaning it
could take a while for most users to
qualify for their first paycheck unless
they post material that that goes
viral.

Wild and crazy games are familiar territo-
ry for San Mateo American Legion Post 82.
Tuesday nights 11-inning, 8-6 win over
Palo Alto to capture the American Legion
Area 2 championship may not be the crazi-
est game Post 82 has played in recent years.
But it may have been the most wildly cele-
brated.
After nearly four hours of play which
spanned until 11:25 p.m. at San Brunos
Tom Lara Field, Post 82 rallied for four runs
in the top of the 11th inning to win the Area
2 title and qualify for the state champi-
onship tourney in Yountville beginning
July 31.
It was a hard-fought game, Post 82
coach Rick Lavezzo said. That was the kind
of win that bonds kids together.
Post 82 sent the game to extra innings in
dramatic fashion. Trailing 4-2 with two outs
in the ninth inning, Post 82 grinded out
three walks and a pair of singles to tie it 4-
4. After a huge defensive play in the 10th
with one out and runners at rst and third,
Post 82s winning pitcher, reliever Alex
Anthanicio, induced a bang-bang ground-
ball double play to end the inning Nick
Thompson provided the clutch go-ahead
single in the 11th
which proved to be the game-winner.
Post 82 is known for their comebacks,
Lavezzo said. But it was a pretty wild
comeback [Tuesday] night.
In recent years, Post 82 has played some
epics. Two years ago at the state tourney,
they fell behind 12-1 in the early innings to
Chico Hills, only to rally to an unthinkable
15-14 win. Last year against Merced, they
prevailed in a 15-inning contest.
But Tuesdays win saw Post 82 forced to
overcome its own early malaise. And while
it took some fates smiling favorably upon
them to force extra innings, the team found
the will to win in the late innings, accord-
ing to Lavezzo.
It was a crazy game, Lavezzo said. It
was not looking good for us, but these kids
just never quit. They didnt give up.
Post 82 starting pitcher Matt Seubert
lasted into the sixth, but walked off the
mound after surrendering four runs. The
bullpen buckled down though, with

Menlo-Athertons Matt McGarry made the preliminary cut for USABaseball in June. With 34
players on the current roster,the right-hander will compete for a spot on the final 20-man roster
next month in Houston.
By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
From his hotel room in Goodyear,
Arizona, Matt McGarry contemplates the
busy summer baseball schedule he has
endured and hopes it will get even busier.
Since wrapping up his junior season at
Menlo-Atherton, McGarry has been living
the dream of the high school baseball play-
er. He is currently on the road with the 17-
and-under NorCal Baseball Club a presti-
gious Bay Area travel squad based in Dublin
with the team taking third place at the
Perfect Game World Series Tuesday.
From Goodyear, NorCal travels to the Phil
Singer Tournament in San Diego. Yet
McGarry is hoping his summer travel sea-
son serves as a primer for an even grander
stage, as the right-hander is in the mix to
make the final roster for the elite USA
Baseball 18-and-under national team.
At the USA Baseball Tournament of Stars
held June 17-22 in Cary, North Carolina
McGarry was one of 34 players to make
the cut from a eld of 108 trying out from
around the nation. Anal round of cuts will
be made at the team trials Aug. 23-29, with
an eventual roster of 20 players travelling
to the 18U COPABE Pan American
Championship in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico
in September.
I cant wait to go try out in Houston and
play against the best guys in the country,
McGarry said. It will be fun.
USA Baseball features the cream of the
crop of the nations 18-and-under baseball
talent. Scores of Major League Baseball All-
Stars, from Barry Bonds to Mike Trout,
played for the team as amateurs. Last sea-
son, the squad featured ace right-hander
Brady Aiken, who went on to be selected
with the No. 1 overall pick in this years
MLB Draft.
A two-way player at Menlo-Atherton,
McGarry knows his ticket to the next level
is on the mound. But even though he is ver-
bally committed to pitch at Vanderbilt,
where he will attend on a baseball scholar-
ship beginning in the fall of 2015, it doesnt
mean he is happy about giving up the grind

SANTA CLARA For anyone guring
Vernon Davis has some catching up to do
during training camp, quarterback Colin
Kaepernick has no concerns.
The star tight end joined the San
Francisco 49ers on Wednesday after sitting
out the offseason program and mandatory
minicamp hoping for a new contract.
It feels great! Davis said in a text mes-
sage. I miss these guys.
Teammate C.J.
Spillman first posted
video of Davis arrival in
the locker room.
Always great to have
Vernon on the eld. He
looks good, excited to
have him back out here,
Kaepernick said.
Vernons a Pro Bowl
tight end. Hes one of the
best in the league. Theres not going to be
too much of a fall off for him. I dont think
anyones concerned about that. Were just
happy hes here.
Right guard Alex Boone was still a no-
show as expected while he also seeks a deal
with two years remaining on his contract,
just like Davis. The 49ers, who lost in the
NFC championship game to Seattle, hold
their rst full practice Thursday.
The 30-year-old Davis, who had 52 catch-
es last season and matched his career high
with 13 touchdowns, typically takes about a
month off following the season before he
starts training again full time. He said he
worked out on his own, running hills in the
area.

District 52 Little League is on a roll. The
district that encompasses 14 Little League
organizations in San Mateo County is one
win away from sending a team to the West
Regional in San Bernardino for the second
straight year one step away from the
Little League World
Series, which is com-
prised of the best 11-
12-year-old all-star
teams in the world.
Last year, it was the
Belmont-Redwood
Shores team that
became the rst
District 52 team to
advance to San
Bernardino since the
1967 Ravenswood
squad. With a win Thursday, Pacica
American can duplicate the feat.
With that being said, now is as good
time as any to compare BRS and Pacica.
The comparisons between the two are pret-
ty similar. Both went 5-0 in the District 52
tournament. BRS outscored its opponents
101-24, while Pacica had a run differen-
tial of 68-17.
Both then went 3-0 in Section 3 play,
posting identical scores of 36-7 over three
games.
In Northern California state tournament
action, aka Division 2, BRS suffered one
of its only two defeats last summer, but
rebounded to beat Santa Cruz twice in the
championship series to punch its ticket to
San Bernardino.
Pacica, on the other hand, is still unde-
feated in Division 2 play and will have to
be beaten twice in the championship series
to be denied a trip to Southern California.
Pacica will play the winner of Mill
Valley-Woodcreek, teams it has already
beaten 12-0 and 14-6, respectively.
The biggest differences between the
teams, however, is pitching and offense.

OAKLAND Yoenis Cespedes homered
twice and tied a career high with ve RBIs
before leaving with an apparent right thumb
injury, and the Oakland Athletics held off the
Houston Astros 9-7 on Wednesday night.
The two-time reigning Home Run Derby
champion hit a three-run drive in the second
inning and a two-run shot in the fourth off Brad
Peacock (3-7) for his 15th and 16th homers
this season. Cespedes snapped a 25-game skid
matching his career high since his last
long ball June 19 against Boston.
Cespedes was replaced in left eld with the
As leading 8-1 in the seventh. But the Astros
almost pulled off an improbable comeback,
scoring ve runs in the eighth before the back
of Oaklands bullpen shut them down.
Jesse Chavez (8-6) allowed two runs and four
hits in 5 2-3 innings to help the As (62-38)
extend the best record in baseball. He struck out
seven and walked two.
Struggling reliever Jim Johnson gave up four
runs three earned without recording an out
to spark Houstons ve-run eighth. He left to a
smattering of boos again.
Luke Gregerson stranded two runners on base
in the eighth, and Sean Doolittle recorded his
15th save in 18 tries with a perfect ninth.
Chavez, who had not started since July 12 at
Seattle before the All-Star break, looked sharp
at the outset. He did not allow a hit until Matt
Dominguez lined a single to left with one out in
the fth.
The As got all the support they needed in just
three swings.
Jed Lowrie led off Oaklands second with his
fth homer, and Cespedes busted the game
open by sending a slider from Peacock over the
wall in center. In the fourth, Cespedes pulled a
curveball into the stands in left to put the As up
7-0.
It was Cespedes fth career two-homer game
and rst since June 4 at the New York Yankees.
It also was the third time hes had ve RBIs in a
game all this year.
Peacock, who was traded to Houston in
February 2013 as part of the deal that landed
Lowrie in Oakland, was charged with seven
runs and seven hits in 3 2-3 innings.
The As built leads of 8-1 and 9-2 but still had
a few scares late.
Cespedes had his right thumb examined by a
team trainer after grounding out on an awkward
swing in the fth. He stayed in the game before
Craig Gentry replaced him in left eld to start
the seventh.
First baseman Brandon Moss had his left
hand looked at by a trainer after Jose Altuve ran
through his
tag on a mis-
red throw,
jarring the
ball loose,
and Johnson
who
signed a $10 million, one-year deal with
Oakland after leading the AL with 50 saves for
Baltimore last season helped turn a runaway
game into a tight one.

PHILADELPHIA There are no secrets to
Hunter Pences approach to hitting in cru-
cial situations. His simple strategy worked
again.
Pence drove in all of San Franciscos runs
with a double in the ninth and Madison
Bumgarner pitched eight scoreless innings
to lead the Giants to a 3-1 victory over the
Philadelphia Phillies on Wednesday night.
Just go up to compete, try to see the ball
and hit the ball, Pence said.
Bumgarner (12-7) gave up ve hits while
striking out six and walking none in a
pitchers duel with A.J. Burnett.
It was good to get quick outs tonight,
Bumgarner said.
It was the sixth win in seven games for
rst-place San Francisco, which moved two
games ahead of the Los Angeles Dodgers in
the NL West. The Giants will look to sweep
the four-game series on Thursday.
One night after blowing just his third
save in 26 chances, closer Jonathan
Papelbon (2-2) took the loss.
The Phillies offense, which ranks near
the bottom of the NL in several categories,
managed just seven hits. They lost their
fourth straight and seventh of eight.
Its really been the problem weve had
the last three games, stranding guys out
there, Philadelphia manager Ryne
Sandberg said. And it came up big
tonight.
Pence broke a scoreless tie with a softly
hit blooper down the right-eld line off
Papelbon on a full count with two outs.
Pence is the guy you want up there,
Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. He has
the knack of putting the ball in the right
place. . Pence is amazing. He has so much
energy and hes relentless. Were lucky to
have him.
Whether the last two games have an effect
on Papelbons trade prospects remain to be
seen. The Philadelphia closer recently has
been outspoken about his interest in mov-
ing to a contender.
Whatever happens happens, Papelbon
said. I have no control over it.
He dismissed the notion that his value
would be diminished by his last two out-
ings.
If you were to put the entire season into
two games, it would be pretty dumb, he
said.
Marlon Byrd drove in Philadelphias run
in the ninth off Santiago Casilla, who con-
verted his seventh save in 10 chances.
The game was delayed for 59 minutes by a
thunderstorm. Following resumption in the
top of the fourth, the game was played in a
persistent drizzle that got heavy at times
until the rain nally stopped for good in the
eighth inning.
Burnett pitched eight scoreless innings,
striking out six, walking four and allowing
four hits, in a performance that had to have
impressed the scouts seated behind home
plate. The right-hander has been a rumored
acquisition for contending clubs as the
Phillies are looking to sell at the trade dead-
line to get younger.
Bumgarner and Burnett allowed the reliev-
ers to rest following Tuesdays 5-hour, 46-
minute marathon in which 16 pitchers were
used in the Giants 9-6, 14-inning victory.
What a job he did, Bochy said of
Bumgarner. He saved our skin tonight. He
gave us everything we needed and more. And
Burnett too. They were both locked in.
Some small puddles formed on the left
side of the ineld, but second base umpire
Bill Miller never halted the game again after
the rst stoppage.
Pence was involved in a strange play in
the eighth. After leading off with a walk, he
took off for second but overslid the bag. He
popped up and rather than try to go back to
second, he darted toward third as shortstop
Jimmy Rollins chased him in a scene remi-
niscent of tag on the school yard. About
halfway to third, Rollins tossed to third
baseman Andres Blanco who applied the tag
for an unusual 2-6-5 caught stealing.
It was the second caught stealing in as
many attempts for the Giants, as Ehire
Adrianza overslid the bag in the sixth and
was tagged out by Chase Utley.
Burnett moved to 48th all-time in strike-
outs, passing Dwight Gooden, with a rst-
inning fanning of Tyler Colvin.

PLA DADET, France On the
last of four Pyrenees ascents, Rafal
Majka winked at a French TV cam-
era and tugged playfully at a motor-
cycles antenna.
Even this late in the Tour de
France, the Polish rider made win-
ning look easy as he took Stage 17
on Wednesday.
For Vincenzo Nibali, the second
ride in the mountains on Frances
border with Spain was more seri-
ous. The Shark nibbled yet more
seconds away from several of his
closest challengers, and the yellow
jersey that he has worn for all but
two days of the race seemed to t
just a little more tightly ahead of
the nish Sunday in Paris.
Nibali was even businesslike
with his own prime minister,
imploring him not to get too ahead
of himself in celebration.
Its true that I received a text mes-
sage from Matteo Renzi, who invit-
ed me to Chigi Palace to celebrate
my victory, the cautious Sicilian
said about the premiers ofcial res-
idence. I replied that only after
winning if I do so Ill be able
to say that Ill be present.
The 124.5-kilometer (77-mile)
trek Wednesday was the shortest
stage in this years Tour. It covered
three hard Category 1 ascents from
Saint-Gaudens and a nal push up to
Pla dAdet ski station above the
town of Saint-Lary-Soulan.
Majka, who also won Stage 14 in
the Alps, again showed hes the
best climber in this Tour and tight-
ened his grip on the polka dot jer-
sey awarded to the races King of the
Mountains.
Giovanni Visconti got the action
going on the last climb with a solo
breakaway with about nine kilome-
ters (5 1/2 miles) left, but could not
hold off Majka. Visconti, who also
is Sicilian, was second, 29 seconds
back, and Nibali was third, 46 sec-
onds behind.
With a last Pyrenean day ahead
Thursday, Majka could ensure that
he takes the red-dot jersey home.
His closest rival for it when the
stage started was Spains Joaquim
Rodriguez, who swatted the air in
frustration at Majka when the Pole
broke away on the last climb.
Majka said he felt comfort in
the last ve kilometers in part
because hed been saving up energy
a day earlier by riding easier. He n-
ished in a bunch 24 1/2 minutes
behind Australian teammate
Michael Rogers, who won Stage 16.
By Wednesday, I felt really, real-
ly good in the last climb, Majka
said, after tapping his chest, thrust-
ing his arms skyward and shouting
in joy at the victory. For me, when
there are a lot of climbs, its the
best.
There was a time when seemingly
effortless victories smacked of
something more sinister at the
Tour: the use of performance-
enhancers.
Few know the scars of cyclings
doping past more than Majkas own
manager at the Tinkoff-Saxo Bank
team, Bjarne Riis. Once a national
hero in Denmark after winning the
1996 Tour, he admitted to using
blood-booster EPO more than a
decade later and was vilied for
it. He laid low for a while, but then
returned to the pro cycling world.
I promised Bjarne today that I
would win the stage, said Majka.
The echoes of doping resonated
Wednesday on the grassy Pyrenean
mountainside: The last times that
Saint-Lary-Soulan hosted Tour
stage nishes were in 2001 and
2005 won by Lance Armstrong
and teammate George Hincapie.
Those wins were later stripped
because of doping. Their names
have been crossed out in the ofcial
Tour history book.
Cycling has made great strides in
ghting doping with enhanced
blood and urine testing, along with
the biological passport program,
but few experts would claim that the
peloton today is entirely clean.
Nibali, who has called himself a
ag-bearer of anti-doping, made
his latest case to become the rst
Italian to win cyclings showcase
race in 16 years since Marco
Pantani, who was once convicted
for doping.
Nibali gained just under a minute
on four of his closest rivals.
Second-placed Alejandro Valverde
of Spain, who made a valiant recov-
ery on the last ascent to avoid even
more damage, now trails by 5
minute, 26 seconds.
The exception was Jean-
Christophe Peraud of France, who
hugged closely on the leaders
back wheel and nished fourth.
With his performance, the 37-year-
old Frenchman made it an even
closer race for the podium spots.
He is fourth overall, 6:08 behind
Nibali, but just eight seconds
slower than fellow Frenchman
Thibaut Pinot, in third.
American Tejay van Garderen,
in sixth, also lost about a minute
to Nibali and trails by 10:19. It
came a day after his hopes for a
podium spot were dealt a big blow
when he lost several minutes to
the other aspirants for a top-three
nish in Paris.
Yesterday was a pity, it was an
off day, the BMC leader said. A
podium spot is still possible, he
added, but it will be hard.

CHICAGO San Diego Padres outelder
Cameron Maybin was suspended 25 games
by Major League Baseball on Wednesday for
testing positive for an amphetamine.
Maybin said in a statement released by the
Major League Baseball Players Association
the failed test was the result of a change in
the medication he was using to treat
Attention Decit Disorder.
I have been undergoing treatment for sev-
eral years for a medical condition, Attention
Decit Disorder (ADD), for which I previous-
ly had a Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE).
Unfortunately, in my attempts to switch
back to a medicine that had been previously
OKd, I neglected to follow all the rules and
as a result I tested positive, Maybin said. I
want to assure everyone that this was a gen-
uine effort to treat my condition and I was
not trying in any way to gain an advantage
in my baseball career.
Under the drug agreement between MLB
and its players union, 25 games is the
penalty for a second positive amphetamine
test. Arst positive results only in six unan-
nounced follow-up tests over the next year.
The 27-year-old Maybin was batting .247
with one home run and nine RBIs in 62
games this season.
I understand that I must accept responsi-
bility for this mistake and I will take my
punishment and will not challenge my sus-
pension. I apologize to my family, friends,
fans, teammates, and the
entire Padres organiza-
tion. I look forward to
returning to the eld and
contributing to the suc-
cess of my Club.
Padres President and
CEO Mike Dee and man-
ager Bud Black responded
in statements.
Im disappointed in
Camerons violation of
MLBs Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment
program, but I am pleased that hes taking
responsibility for his mistake, Dee said.
The joint agreement was put into place to
protect both the player and the game, and the
Padres fully support it.
Our club fully supports Major League
Baseballs Joint Drug Prevention and
Treatment Program, Black said. Cameron
has accepted full responsibility for his vio-
lation and apologized to his teammates and
coaches. We are all looking forward to his
return.
MLB permits an exemption for players
with attention decit disorder. The annual
report from the drug programs independent
administrator, Dr. Jeffrey M. Anderson, said
119 therapeutic use exemptions were granted
for ADD drugs in the year ending with the
conclusion of the 2013 World Series.
There were seven positive tests for
Adderall in that span that resulted in disci-
pline.

come through the Peninsula in years in Sean
Lee, who posted several double-digit strike-
out games throughout BRS run last season.
Pacica doesnt necessarily have a pitcher
who can post those kind of strikeout num-
bers, but they have several who are just as
effective. Christian Falk is Pacicas big-
game pitcher. He has closed out both the
District 52 and Section 3 tournaments and
expect him to get the ball Thursday in the
Division 2 championship game.
The other big difference between the two
is the batting lineup. While BRS had sev-
eral players bat over .350 last summer, it
relied more on stringing hits together to
score its runs, with a smattering of home
runs.
Pacica has relied on the long ball this
summer, having blasted 41 home runs in 11
games. That can denitely come in handy as
it advances deeper into the playoffs. Having
literally everyone in the lineup capable of
knocking one out, Pacica is never really
out of a game. In fact, its propensity to hit
dingers and hit them early puts early
pressure on the opposition.
Regardless of the similarities and differ-
ences between the 2014 Pacica American
and 2013 Belmont-Redwood Shores Little
League all-stars, there is no doubting both
put together summers the players, coaches
and parents will never forget.

national team that will compete in the Open
Nordic Tournament beginning Monday in
Denmark.
An incoming junior midelder, the 5-7,
140-pound Zelaya is a full-time player with
the De Anza Force Soccer Club. He was
selected to the U17 Spring Residency
Program in Bradenton, Florida at the
beginning of 2014. Earlier this month, he
was one of 38 players called into the U17
national team camp before being named to
the Open Nordic Tournament team.
With his spot with the U17 national team,
Zelaya is in the mix to represent the U.S. at

of being an everyday player.
At the next level, Ill be a pitcher. Thats
what everyone has told me, McGarry said.
It sucks, but if thats what is going to let
you be able to compete at the highest level,
Im not going to complain.
McGarry certainly impressed at the
Tournament of Stars. Playing competitive
games against other teams formed from the
original eld of 108 players, McGarry made
two appearances on the mound. He red
three shutout innings in his debut, allowing
just one hit. In the second game, he again
worked the permitted maximum of three
innings, surrendering one run on two hits.
The only blemish was his allowing ve
walks over both appearances.
I feel like I am throwing a lot better than
I was in high school, McGarry said. Its
been a lot easier. My motion is a little bit
more repeatable right now. So, everything
is kind of clicking.
At M-A, McGarry and senior Erik
Amundson worked in tandem to lead the
Bears to the Central Coast Section Division
I seminals. Yet, in the win column, the two
saw very different results. Their respective
ERAs were nearly identical. Amundson
paced the team with a 2.33 ERA, while
McGarry posted a 2.38 mark. Yet, while
Amundson notched an 8-6 record, McGarry
earned just two wins on the year with a 2-3
record.
It was a pretty great pitching staff, we
just didnt score a lot of runs, Amundson
said.
Lack of run support snakebit McGarry, but
that was partially his fault. As the Bears
rst baseman, he hit for a mere .200 batting
average, whereas the previous season, as a
sophomore, he hit .351.
McGarry is getting plenty of run support
this summer though. In his nal start of the
Perfect Game World Series, he fired five
shutout innings against Southern
Californias Garciaparra Baseball Group, as
NorCal went on to win 8-0. NorCal eventu-
ally was eliminated in the semifinals
Tuesday by the EvoShield Canes. Overall,
NorCal posted a 5-3 record in the tourna-
ment.
Currently, McGarry is focused on reining
in his mechanics to be able to control his
heavy low-90s fastball. He also throws a
changeup and a slider, the latter of which
sometimes gets quite temperamental,
according to Menlo-Atherton pitching
coach Corey Zirbes.
He understands what he has in his arm,
Zirbes said. He understands that he can
overpower people, and I think it sometimes
gets to him a little bit. He can get a little
erratic. It just depends on what McGarry
you get that day.
Zirbes said McGarry is currently in good
hands with NorCal pitching coach Dave
Kawamoto, who is helping the young right-
hander rene his mechanics. Zirbes mis-
sion at M-Athis year was simply to encour-
age McGarry to tone down his hyper-com-
petitive mindset.
He knows if hes throwing strikes,
theres not many people who are going to
hit him, Zirbes said. So, when he goes out
there and cant gure it out, he gets frustrat-
ed because it makes it look like the other
team is better than him; and theres not
many hitters that are going to be able to hit
McGarrys stuff.
McGarrys results through four starts with
NorCal speak for themselves.
I havent lost yet, McGarry said. And
the teams weve been playing are older
teams.

Michael Valdez ring two shutout innings of
relief before giving way to Anthanicio. Then
Kyle Burns emerged in the 11th to earn the
save, as the right-hander made his first
appearance for Post 82 since pitching in the
Fourth of July Tournament in Reno.
Post 82 scored the tying run in the ninth on
an RBI ineld knock a mere squibber up the
rst-base line by Calvin Riley with the
bases loaded.
But after the dramatic double play in the
10th, the Post 82 offense took to the 11th
with a head of steam. Seubert led off the
inning with a single to left and Steven
Hughes followed with a single to right. Aaron
Albaum sacriced them both over. Then after
Riley drew a two-out walk, Thompson laced a
single to left-center to drive home Seubert and
Hughes. Neil Sterling followed with a two-
RBI single to give Post 82 some insurance.
In the bottom of the frame, Palo Alto
mounted a potential comeback. But Seuberts
arm proved a game-changer after all, albeit
not from the mound, but from center eld.
With Burns on in relief, Palo Altos Jack
Cleasby laced a booming drive over Seuberts
head in center. But Seubert got a great rst
step to retrieve it and started a perfect relay to
shortstop Christian Conci, who red to third
baseman Ryan Cuddy to nail Cleasby as he
tried for a triple.
Then Burns induced a pop-out to rst base-
man Hughes to end it, sending Post 82 into a
frenzy of celebration in the middle of the
ineld.
They were pumped up, Lavezzo said.

Trainer Art Sherman
to receive Pincay Award
DELMAR Kentucky Derby and Preakness-
winning trainer Art Sherman will receive the
Laft Pincay Jr. award on July 27 at Del Mar.
The award has been given annually for the
past 10 years to those who have served horse
racing with integrity, dedication, determination
and distinction. It will be presented at Del Mar
for the rst time, having moved from Betfair
Hollywood Park, which was shuttered in
December.
At 77, Sherman became the oldest trainer to
win the Kentucky Derby when California
Chrome won by 1 3/4 lengths in May. The colt
followed up with a 1 1/2-length victory in the
Preakness before losing his Triple Crown bid
with a tie for fourth place in the Belmont
Stakes.
Sherman was a jockey for 23 years before
becoming a trainer for the past 35.
Pincay won a then-record 9,530 races during
his 39-year career. He and Sherman have been
friends for many years.
Among the previous Pincay Award winners
are jockey Eddie Delahoussaye and owners Jerry
and Ann Moss.

offensive line for newcomer
Jonathan Martin, who might see
more time at the guard spot as he
transitions in his rst year with the
Niners.
Martin was acquired in a mid-
March trade from Miami, providing
him with a fresh start after his depar-
ture last October following a scandal
in which he accused teammate Richie
Incognito of bullying.
Martin, fellow offensive lineman
Adam Snyder and several others were
among the rst in the ice baths fol-
lowing their workouts Wednesday.
Boone has played a key part in a
vastly improved, close-knit offen-
sive line.
Love to have him here but not
going to speak on another mans
business, Kaepernick said. Thats
his personal decision.
As the 49ers begin another season
after coming so close, defensive
lineman Justin
Smith acknowl-
edged the moti-
vation of chas-
ing another
champi onshi p
in a division fea-
turing two meet-
ings with the
Seahawks
including on
Thanksgiving night in new Levis
Stadium.
You know what they do, you
know the team they are, Smith said.
Theyre good, theyre the defending
champs.
Smith revealed he played all of last
year with a shoulder injury sustained
in training camp that eventually
needed a clean-up procedure in the
offseason. He will evaluate after the
season how many years he might
keep playing.
Im playing this year, thats all
Im focused on, he said. I feel
healthy compared to last year. This
is it. This is the one Im thinking
about. This is the one our teams
thinking about.
Now, everybody is ready to begin
again and do big things.
Its always motivation when you
dont nish the season the way you
want to, Kaepernick said. I think
this team has the talent, we have the
coaching staff to win a Super Bowl,
and now its just time to go out and
do it.
NOTES: In a procedural move, San
Francisco placed linebacker NaVorro
Bowman on the active/physically
unable to perform list as he works
back from torn anterior cruciate and
medial collateral ligaments in his
left knee and underwent surgery. He
is expected to be out at least half the
season.
Running back Frank Gore said
isnt thinking of his 10th year in the
NFLas a farewell season at age 31.
No, Im coming in to get ready to
try to have a great year, try to do
whatever it takes to help my team
get to the Super Bowl and win a tro-
phy, said Gore, coming off his sev-
enth 1,000-yard season and third
straight. Thats how I approach it
every year.

Oregon is Pac-12 favorite after Mariotas return
LOS ANGELES Oregon coach Mark Helfrich and Pac-
12 Commissioner Larry Scott both used the leagues open-
ing media day to praise Ducks quarterback Marcus Mariota
for staying in school.
The rest of the Pac-12 isnt quite as excited about
Mariotas return, but hes just one reason why the Ducks are
favored to win their highly competitive league again.
Mariota and Oregon were picked to win the Pac-12 title
Wednesday in the preseason media poll, topping that chart
for the fourth time in ve years.
Mariota says he returned to enjoy the college experience.
Since hes only taking golf and yoga this fall to nish up
his degree, hell have plenty of time.
Southern California coach Steve Sarkisian thinks his
Trojans also can challenge for the league title in his rst
season back home.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NAPA Shortly after checking in a
day before the Oakland Raiders begin
training camp, Charles Woodson
packed his family into a white SUV
for a quick afternoon drive.
It was a vastly different picture
from 2004 when Woodson scoffed at
the idea of showing up early for the
preseason workouts.
Ten years ago,
the veteran safety
held out for 33
days in search of
a new contract. It
was the only time
during his NFL
career that
Woodson held
out, and although
he didnt land the
lucrative deal he had hoped for,
Woodson did have one of his most
productive seasons in Oakland.
A brash 27-year-old at the time,
Woodson regularly joked afterward
that he might not show up on time
for camp again.
Woodson laughed at that recollec-
tion while holding his 3-year-old
son in his arms before placing him
in a car seat Wednesday.

Remote controls, designed to make life
easier and more convenient, have become so
numerous in many homes that keeping track
of them is a challenge all its own.
There are often separate remotes for the TV,
DVD player, cable box and sound system.
And if youve got a more sophisticated set-
up, or have retained your old VCR machine,
you may well have a few more (gaming con-
soles, light dimmers, air-conditioning units,
etc.).
Remotes tend to be annoyingly similar in
size, shape and color, and have a pesky way
of slipping between couch cushions, walk-
ing to various parts of the house, getting
chewed by the dog or just poof vanish-
ing.
To help restore order, cable compa-
nies and profes-
sional organ-
i z e r s
o f f e r
some suggestions:
FIND A CONTAINER
Caddies made for remote controls come in
a huge range of prices and styles. There are
clear Acrylic organizing cubes (US Acrylic),
non-skid rubber with voluptuous curves in
impossible-to-miss primary colors (J-Me
Cozy Remote Control Tidy), faux-leather
organizers in staid brown and black that
rotate for convenience
(Cosmos) and
wooden organ-
izing boxes
with NFL
team logos.
For those
loathe to park
one more thing
on an overworked
coffee table, some
caddies hang saddle-
bag style over a chair or
sofa armrest (Ikea).
Whatever you get, make
sure its not the type of thing
that will get tipped over by a
stretching cat. Trays or low bas-
kets are perfect, and drawers are
terric if you have a grabby tod-
dler. Oh, and denitely dont store
it beside the TV, said Liz Jenkins, a
professional organizer in Franklin,
Tennessee. As with everything in
your house, you should store it closest to
where youll be using it. So it really has to
have a home near your couch or chair.
Kevin Hall of Clutter No More, Inc. in San
Diego says that keeping track of remotes is a
chronic problem.
Our top idea is putting a strip of Velcro on
the back of a clipboard, then on the back of
each remote, and keep the board by where
you usually sit, he said.
He also suggests putting color-coordinated
dots on each remote and its corresponding
device, and urges clients to keep any direc-
tions and customer numbers in a clear plastic
sleeve in the room where they watch TV.
STREAMLINE
Can you retire some of these remotes?
When it comes to organizing anything,
whether its shoes or china or remotes, you
need to evaluate how many things you have
and how many you really need. Are you using
all of these machines? If not, the remotes
dont all need to be there, Jenkins said.
GO UNIVERSAL
If arranging your collection of black and
gray remotes in a monotone high-tech bou-
quet doesnt appeal, a well-chosen universal
remote can narrow it down to one. Universal
remotes are designed to work with all your
technological gizmos, and range in price
from around $10 to several hundred dollars.
When you have a big pile of remotes, my
top advice is to get a universal remote and
find a 12-year-old to program it, said
Jenkins.
Hall cautions, however, that programming
a universal remote often just leads to more
frustration. Thats why we go to the clip-
board. If the person is a techie, a universal
remote would work. For most people though,
thats too much technology to deal with.
GET SMART (PHONE)
For the technologically savvy, new apps
have been created to turn your smartphone
into a remote. Popular apps include Dijit,
Roomie, Re, iRule, Zsmart, Commandfusion
and Openremote.
In addition, many TV manufacturers and
cable providers (including Sony, Comcast,
Optimum and Verizon) have created their
own apps, some voice-activated, to replace
remotes. Comcast says its Xfinity TV
Remote app has been downloaded 10 mil-
lion times.
Many of my clients have designated
iPads or smart phones that function as a
universal remote, Jenkins said.
BUY A REPLACEMENT
If youve lost a remote, ask your cable
provider to come to the rescue. Providers
are accustomed to requests for additional
remotes, and replacements are ubiquitous
online and in stores.
GO BACK TO THE FUTURE
Television existed years before remotes
became commonplace. An old-fashioned
TV with an actual channel button, if youre
lucky enough to nd one, bypasses the
need for remotes by forcing you to get up,
cross the room and change the channels.
This is cumbersome and unpleasant, to be
sure, but provides some exercise.
GET RADICAL
If all else fails, theres always the option
of going screen-free. Take a walk, read a
book, have coffee with a friend ... or recon-
sider the above.

Truman Capote famously told friends that
the very wealthy eat better vegetables
tiny ones. So theres another plus for gar-
dening: Its easier to eat the way the super-
rich do.
Not that smaller is always better in the
world of vegetables. A cucumber picked
undersize does not taste better than one
allowed to swell up before harvest as
long as that full-size one is picked before
its skin yellows and seeds start to harden.
Similarly, the taste of baby carrots cant
compare with fully grown ones, unless the
baby size is how big the carrots are sup-
posed to be when fully mature. A certain
degree of maturity is needed before a carrot
can store energy which translates to
sweetness in its fleshy roots. Some
varieties of carrots, such as Caracas and
Atlas, never grow large; when mature and
tasty, the roots are still no more than a few
inches long.
Baby carrots that you buy in the super-
market, incidentally, are not actually
babies, but are full-size carrots cut into
smaller pieces.
MANY WAYS TO BABY VEGETABLES
Theres no arguing that tiny vegetables
are more fun and convenient to eat. That
must be what accounts for the popularity of
supermarket cherry tomatoes.
The bulk of these, unfortunately, are the
variety Red Cherry, which doesnt taste
nearly as good as Sungold, which has a
delectable sweet-tart flavor.
Miniature cauliflower minicauli
is another tiny vegetable that is fun and
convenient. This one tastes pretty much
the same as full-size cauliflower. The way
to grow minicaulis is by planting out any
variety of cauliflower at a 6-inch spacing
each way and letting competition among
the plants keep them dwarf as they mature.
BETTER BECAUSE THEY ARE BABIES
Of course, tiny vegetables main draw is
their perceived gustatory superiority. And
its true: Many vegetables are most deli-
cate, tender and tasty at this stage.
Fine examples of vegetables that reach
gustatory perfection early in their growth
are zucchini and other summer squashes.
You can even pick zucchinis before their
blossoms have wilted and been shed, eat-
ing the tasty blossoms along with the
fruit.
Every gardener knows how fast a zucchi-
ni can grow from the size of a carrot to that
of a baseball bat. Afew days delay in har-
vest rapidly plumps up zucchinis and the
wallet of any farmer who is paid for
poundage, thus accounting for the extra
cost of vegetables harvested while still
t i ny. For a backyard gardener, though, fre-
quent picking of tiny zucchinis yields bet-
ter taste and keeps the kitchen from being
overrun with oversize specimens.
DIFFERENT
BECAUSE THEY ARE BABIES
And then there are vegetables that take
on a different character if picked while still
tiny; theyre not necessarily better, but
they are different.
As green beans mature, the seeds within
the pods expand and contribute to the fla-
vor and texture. When baby-size, beans are
almost all pod.
Baby corn is similarly quite different
from large ears of sweet corn whose kernels
are plumped full of milky, sweet juice. But
theyre both good.
Any variety of lettuce, especially head-
ing lettuces, takes on a different taste and
textural quality as it matures. As lettuces
grow up, the leaves of some varieties turn
buttery. Those of other varieties become
crisp only along their ribs, and still other
varieties become crispheads. Flavors may
also take on distinctive qualities.
Small is sometimes better in the vegetable world
Pretty much all varieties of lettuce taste similar and are good eating when young, with
diaphanous,soft leaves and delicate avor.Like other tiny vegetables,theyre easy to grow
and eating them makes you feel rich.

Although glass and screens have elimi-
nated the practical need for shutters, theyre
still popular for decoration. They add
another layer of thoughtful detailing to a
house, says Ted Cleary, a landscape archi-
tect in Charlotte, N.C.
But to get the right look, you still have to
consider function when choosing and hang-
ing shutters, experts say.
Beauty in architecture, as with many
objects, often stems from seeing a detail
that illustrates its purpose, Cleary says.
Apair of shutters can cost anywhere from
$100 to more than $1,000. Some tips on
choosing the right ones for your home:
SIZE
Originally, shutters were used to keep out
weather, noise and animals; when closed,
they had to cover the whole window.
So shutter size is the most important
thing to consider, says Lindsay Daniel, a
Charlotte architect, who agrees with Cleary
that homeowners must think function rst,
not decoration.
Make sure the shutters meet and complete-
ly cover the window opening. Otherwise,
she says, the shutter looks like a stupid
afterthought.
This means that shutters dont work on
double-width or picture windows, says
Richard Taylor, an architect and president of
RTA Studio in Dublin, Ohio. To my eye
anyway, it looks ridiculous, he says.
And take care about their shape when
hanging shutters on arched windows, Cleary
adds. Shutters are perfectly legitimate on
arched windows as long as the (closed) shut-
ter covers it, he says.
MATERIAL
Shutters are primarily made of wood, com-
posite material or vinyl.
Vinyl shutters are typically mounted
directly onto the side of the house, which
means they break the rule about looking
functional, Taylor says.
He prefers wood, which looks the most
authentic but does require regular mainte-
nance, or composite products, a low-main-
tenance alternative.
STYLES
Louvered shutters, made with horizontally
slated boards, are probably the most com-
mon style in America, Cleary says. When
shutters served as the primary window cov-
ering, people in hotter climates used lou-
vered ones to allow fresh air into the house.
Panel shutters have a traditional look.
They are solid pieces that resemble small
doors, and are often inset with square or rec-
tangle patterns. They were regularly used on
Colonial-era homes in New England and
were a good defense against snow and rain.
Board and batten shutters are made with
three or four vertical boards of the same size
connected with narrow horizontal boards.
They have a rustic appearance and were often
used on country houses or barns. They are
the easiest style for do-it-yourselfers to
make at home, Cleary says.
HARDWARE
Shutters look best when they are hung as
though they are going to be opened and
closed, Cleary says. That means using
hinges and mounting them onto the window
casing not attaching them to the house.
Cleary also recommends adding metal
tiebacks, sometimes called shutter dogs, to
hold open shutters in place. The hardware,
including shutter dogs and hinges, can cost
up to $100 for a pair of shuttters.
It looks a lot richer. Theres more depth
to them when they are not pasted to the
(house), he says.
Open and shut case: Choosing and hanging shutters
Dont feel you have to put shutters on every window.Its better to have some windows without
shutters than to put them on windows that are too wide for them.

right now is to invest in increasing our
revenues and Marcia is critical to our
investment strategy.
Other councilmembers noted that
when Raines assumed the city manager
role in December 2008, she was prom-
ised the same amount of money the
previous city manager made, but didnt
ultimately receive that pay; she
received a compensation and benet s
package of $18,000 less than the pre-
vious city manager. Additionally,
starting in 2011, she took a 5 percent
reduction in compensation like all
other city workers to address the citys
budget shortfall due to the economic
downturn.
The council was not able to honor
those agreements, said Mayor Wayne
Lee. In order to be competitive with
other cities, and to keep somebody
who would be difcult to replace, shes
well deserving of being in parity of a
city of our size.
In her sixth year with the city, shes
had no salary adjustment since day
one, said Vice Mayor Robert
Gottschalk.
Shes done a tremendous job for the
city and we can afford a little bit better
treatment, he said. We have to be
concerned about keeping good
employees.
When determining Raines new
salary, the council considered the his-
tory of her compensation, along with
a current market data survey comparing
the compensation packages of the city
managers of cities north and south
along the Peninsula. Millbraes com-
pensation package is at the bottom of
the group. Current market data for 16
cities in the West Bay Area revealed
that the annual salaries of the city
managers ranged from a high of
$262,236 to a low of $192,996 in
Millbrae, according to a staff report.
The City Council recognized the
city managers leadership in: strength-
ening the citys nancial condition,
effecting regional cost effective part-
nerships in the areas of law enforce-
ment and re services, driving and fos-
tering economic development oppor-
tunities, expanding recreational pro-
grams and addressing infrastructure
deciencies of the city, the report
stated. The city felt it was critical to
continue the progress achieved to date
under the successful leadership of the
city manager and considered the dif-
culty and cost to replace her with a per-
son of comparable experience and
knowledge.
The report also notes that she will
become the president of the City
Managers Department in the League
of California Cities Association in
September.
Meanwhile, Councilwoman Anne
Oliva said shes happy to have Raines
still on board, while Councilwoman
Marge Colapietro said shes hoping
the public will understand the logic
that was presented.
Perhaps thats an indication that
there was maybe very little feedback if
any, she said. I was on the City
Council when we searched for a new
city manager back in 2008 and we
made a commitment to each person
who interviewed that they would
receive the same amount of wages and
benets that the previous city manag-
er received. That did not occur over the
last ve years.
Raines didnt make a fuss about the
reduced salary, Colapietro said.
Over the years, I have felt very
badly that she was not receiving what
was promised to her, she said. I was
happy the supermajority of this coun-
cil was in agreement that we needed to
do something about that based on her
job performance and where city is now.
It was a long time coming for a per-
formance payment and a wage
increase.
In other city news, the city has hired
Chip Taylor as its new Public Works
director and Deborah Nelson as the
new Community Development direc-
tor. Steve Toler, former assistant city
manager in Foster City, is being added
to Millbrae staff as an assistant city
manager.

Ruane said. Its a huge step for the
future of San Bruno.
Two councilmembers, Rico Medina
and Michael Salazar, recused them-
selves from the vote because they own
properties in close proximity.
Councilwoman Irene OConnell also
owns property in the vicinity, but
voted for the measure to get the third
vote needed for it to pass.
Currently, permits and approvals
cant be issued to allow construction
of building taller than 50 feet or that
exceed three stories unless approved
by a majority of voters at a regular or
special election.
As a resident, I can state an opinion
the consensus of the council is that
raising the height limits is really
going to attract more growth, Salazar
said. Most people are in favor of hav-
ing downtown redeveloped and this
seems to be an avenue to do it. Some
people are concerned about the scale of
projects that could come into place.
Despite his support for the measure,
Salazar believes the ordinance does
offer some level of protection from
overgrowing the area. Ruane added it
will be important to be sensitive to the
neighbors needs.
The discussion on building heights
started in 2012 when the city conclud-
ed a strategic vision process with a
transit corridor plan, said City
Manager Connie Jackson. The transit
corridor plan outlines a number of dif-
ferent areas in the transit corridor,
including along El Camino Real, San
Bruno Avenue and San Mateo Avenue
the main stretch of downtown. In
the plan, proposed building heights
range from three to seven stories in
some areas.
The plan is critical to the citys
achievement to transform those key
areas of our city into the future, she
previously said.
Some local business leaders say the
height limits need to change to give
downtown a boost, with Dennis
Sammut, CEO of the Artichoke Joes
Casino on Huntington Avenue, noting
that a lot of the buildings in the down-
town 1600 block of San Mateo Avenue
are 100 years old.
The downtown is tired; its old, he
previously said. Someday youve got
to bite the bullet. I think theyre (the
council) kind of caught. Theres a lot
of resident concerns. Its a very dif-
cult decision for the council; its
dynamic. If they want the town to
move into the next century, it has to
be an intelligently planned develop-
ment. Looking for the future of San
Bruno, the way to help move it forward
is increase height limits. You cant
go crazy and put up a 90-story building
though.
During a recent City Council study
session on the topic, there was very
strong interest on the part of the resi-
dents surrounding the transit corridor
area to improve the visual quality of
the commercial areas, said Jackson.
The city has done some preliminary
work to evaluate what might be an
important initiative to take to the vot-
ers. Keeping the character and quality
is important to neighbors, she said.
For any development for which the
restrictions of Ordinance 1284 apply,
the ordinance also requires town hall
type meetings so the public is fully
informed before voting.
Although a ballot measure has yet to
be precisely formulated, it should be
done fairly quickly, Salazar said.

Thursday July 24, 2014 THEDAILYJOURNAL
By Ibrahim Barzak and Tia Goldenberg
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip The United
States announced signs of progress in cease-
re talks Wednesday, but prospects for a quick
end to the ghting were dim as Palestinian
families ed erce battles in southern Gaza
and the death toll rose to at least 695
Palestinians and 34 Israelis.
Underscoring the challenges facing inter-
national negotiators shuttling around the
Middle East in a high-prole bid to end the
bloodshed, the leader of Hamas insisted the
Islamic militants would not relent until their
main demand of lifting an Egyptian-Israeli
blockade of the Gaza Strip is met.
On the ground, meanwhile, Israeli troops
backed by tanks and aerial drones clashed
with Hamas ghters armed with rocket-pro-
pelled grenades and assault ries on the out-
skirts of Khan Younis, killing at least eight
militants, according to a Palestinian health
ofcial. Hundreds of people ed their homes
as the battle unfolded, ooding into the
streets with what few belongings they could
carry, many with children in tow. They said
they were seeking shelter in nearby U.N.
schools.
The airplanes and airstrikes are all around
us, said Aziza Msabah, a resident of the city
in the southern Gaza Strip. They are hitting
the houses, which are collapsing upon us.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, who
met for the second time this week with United
Nations chief Ban Ki-moon, ew to Israel on
an Air Force jet, despite a ban imposed a day
earlier by the U.S. Federal Aviation
Administration on commercial ights into
Ben-Gurion Airport because of Hamas rocket
re nearby. The FAA extended the ban
Wednesday and many major European carriers
also canceled more ights due to security con-
cerns.
We certainly have made steps forward,
Kerry said in Jerusalem, without elaborating.
Theres still work to be done.
Israel has insisted it must substantially
curb the military capabilities of the Islamic
militant group that controls Gaza a posi-
tion that appears to have gained support
within the U.S. administration while
Hamas has demanded the lifting of a crip-
pling Israeli and Egyptian blockade on the
impoverished coastal territory it has ruled
since 2007.
Hamas leader Khaled Mashaal said in a tele-
vised speech that the opening of the border
crossings was a red line.
When it comes to the balance of power in
this crisis between us and Israel, they are the
executioners, the aggressors, the occupiers,
the settlers, and we are the true owners of the
land, he said from his home-in-exile in
Doha, Qatar. We will not accept anything
but the end of the siege.
The U.S., Israel and the European Union all
consider Hamas a terrorist organization,
though the U.N. does not. Ban said he and
Kerry were jointly lobbying ofcials in the
region to push Hamas and Israel to a cease-re
as soon as possible.
White House deputy national security
adviser Tony Blinken said there must be a way
forward that does not involve Hamas having
the ability to rain down rockets on Israeli
civilians.
One of the results, one would hope, of a
cease-re would be some form of demilitariza-
tion so that this doesnt continue, doesnt
repeat itself, Blinken said in an interview
with NPR. That needs to be the end result.
The Hamas leader, however, rejected that
idea. Some are talking under the table about
disarming the resistance. No one can take
away the resistances arms, Mashaal said.
He also dismissed Israels assertion that it
tries to avoid civilian casualties but Hamas
puts them in danger by hiding weapons and
ghters in civilian areas.
The truth is that (Israeli Prime Minister
Benjamin) Netanyahu could not reach the mil-
itants, so killed the civilians, Maashal said.
U.S. ofcials have downplayed expecta-
tions for an immediate, lasting truce between
Israel and Hamas. But Kerry said limited
progress has been made.
Were doing this for one simple reason:
The people in the Palestinian territories, the
people in Israel, are all living under the threat
or reality of immediate violence, Kerry told
reporters after a meeting of just over an hour
with Abbas in the West Bank town of
Ramallah. And this needs to end, for every-
body. We need to nd a way forward that
works. And its not violence.
He also offered profound gratitude to
what he described as 30,000 Israelis who
lined Jerusalem streets on Wednesday for the
funeral procession of Israeli soldier Max
Steinberg, a 24-year-old American from the
San Fernando Valley of Southern California
who was killed in the ghting. Thats a
remarkable statement were very grateful,
Kerry said.
Kerry later met with Netanyahu for nearly
two hours in Tel Aviv, but made no comments
and headed immediately back to Cairo.
Israel launched a massive air campaign on
July 8 to stop relentless Hamas rocket re
into Israel and expanded it last week to a
ground war aimed at destroying tunnels the
military says Hamas has constructed from
Gaza into Israel for attacks against Israelis.
At least 67 Palestinians were killed on
Wednesday, raising the overall death toll in
the 16-day war to 695, according to Gaza
Health Ministry spokesman Ashraf al-Kidra.
U.S. pushes for truce as Gaza battle rages
Plane crashes while
landing in Taiwan, killing 47
TAIPEI, Taiwan Aplane attempting to
land in stormy weather crashed on a small
Taiwanese island late Wednesday, killing 47
people and wrecking houses and cars on the
ground.
The ATR-72 operated by Taiwans
TransAsia Airways was carrying 58 passen-
gers and crew when it crashed on Penghu in
the Taiwan Strait between Taiwan and China,
authorities said. The plane was arriving
from the city of Kaohsiung in southern
Taiwan.
Two people aboard the plane were French
citizens and the rest Taiwanese, Transport
Minister Yeh Kuang-shih told reporters. The
twin-engine turboprop crashed while mak-
ing a second landing attempt, Yeh said.
The crash of ight GE222 was Taiwans
rst fatal air accident in 12 years and came
after Typhoon Matmo passed across the
island, causing heavy rains that continued
into Wednesday night. Some 200 airline
ights had been canceled earlier in the day
due to rain and strong winds.
