KURDS BATTLING MILITANTS

With $750 million hanging on the
California High-Speed Rail Authoritys
ability to sell its voter-approved bonds, a
project to electrify Caltrain still in its
environmental review stage will benet
from a recent state Court of Appeal ruling
giving the authority that go-ahead.
Improvements to the local tracks hinge
on the authoritys ability to fund the states
rst $68 billion bullet train that was stalled
by two previous lower courts rulings that
its funding plan was substantially different
than what voters approved in 2008.
Although its reliant on the controversial
state transit project, Caltrain is in the
process of paving the way for construction
through finalizing its environmental
impact report and gathering community
input.
High-speed rail was certainly going to
have a lot of challenges, thats typical in a
major infrastructure project, said Caltrain
Communications Manager Jayme
Ackemann. Were condent they have a
good path for moving forward, but were
going to continue on our path and watch as
things move through the court system.
Caltrain and high-speed rail became inter-
twined when they agreed to a shared blended
track system that requires the tracks
between San Jose and San Francisco be elec-
tried.

Burlingame to vote on
renewing parcel taxes
Measure would consolidate
two taxes into one $256 tax
By Angela Swartz
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Burlingame voters will be considering the
renewal of two parcel taxes that total $256 a
year this November that the district says are
needed to keep up with programming such
as music, art, reading, writing, science and
engineering.
The school board voted 4-0 on July 17,
with president Greg Land absent, to consol-
idate the districts current two parcel taxes
that support its schools and to renew the
consolidated tax for 14 years from July 1,
2016. Measure E was approved in 2011 and
End of a legend
By Haven Daley and Hillel Italie
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO Robin Williams, a bril-
liant shapeshifter who could channel his frenet-
ic energy into delightful comic characters like
Mrs. Doubtre or harness it into richly
nuanced work like his Oscar-winning turn in
Good Will Hunting, died Monday in an
apparent suicide. He was 63.
Williams was pronounced dead at his San
Francisco Bay Area home Monday, accord-
ing to the sheriffs ofce in Marin County,
north of San Francisco. The sheriffs ofce
said the preliminary investigation shows
the cause of death to be a suicide due to
asphyxia.
The Marin County coroners ofce said
Williams was last seen alive at home at about
10 p.m. Sunday. An emergency call from his
house in Tiburon was placed to the Sheriffs
Department shortly before noon Monday.
This morning, I lost my husband and my best
friend, while the world lost one of its most
beloved artists and beautiful human beings. I am
utterly heartbroken, said Williams wife, Susan
Schneider. On behalf of Robins family, we are
asking for privacy during our time of profound grief.
As he is remembered, it is our hope the focus will not
be on Robins death, but on the countless moments
of joy and laughter he gave to millions.
Williams had been battling severe depression
recently, said Mara Buxbaum, his press representa-
tive. Just last month, he announced he was returning
to a 12-step treatment program he said he needed after
18 months of nonstop work. He had sought treatment in
2006 after a relapse following 20 years of sobriety.
From his breakthrough in the late 1970s as the alien in
the hit TVshow Mork & Mindy, through his standup act and
such lms as Good Morning, Vietnam, the short, barrel-chest-
ed Williams ranted and shouted as if just sprung from solitary con-
nement. Loud, fast and manic, he parodied everyone from John
Wayne to Keith Richards, impersonating a Russian immigrant as
easily as a pack of Nazi attack dogs.

SAN FRANCISCO The California
Supreme Court on Monday blocked an advi-
sory measure backed by Democrats from the
November ballot.
By a 5-1 vote, the court ordered the
removal of Proposition 49, which would
have asked voters if they want a federal con-
stitutional amendment to overturn the U.S.
Supreme Courts so-called Citizens United
ruling allowing unlimited corporate spend-
ing in elections.
The majority opinion said no harm will
come from removing the nonbinding meas-
ure while courts determine its validity. The
court said it would consider the issue in
more detail in September.
Writing separately, Justice Goodwin Liu
agreed with the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers

Woman, 78, caught
with cash in girdle at airport
ROMULUS, Mich. A78-year-old
Florida woman tried to y on an inter-
national trip from Detroit
Metropolitan Airport with almost
$41,000 in cash hidden inside her gir-
dle, bra and carry-on bag, federal
authorities said.
A complaint filed Friday in U.S.
District Court in Detroit said the
Clearwater woman was trying to board
a ight April 2 to the Philippines with
her daughter. She initially said she had
$200 in cash but submitted a form
declaring she had $1,200, prompting
questions.
During a search, Customs and Border
Protection ofcers found $8,000 in
wallets in her carry-on bag, $4,000
sewn into a cloth pouch and nearly
$1,000 in envelopes, according to the
complaint. She then told them she had
$3,000 in her blouse and $2,000 sewn
into the strap of her bra.
Ofcers continued to search and said
they found about $21,000 in her gir-
dle. The woman told authorities that
she had recently sold her home for
$120,000, wired some money to the
Philippines and had planned to carry a
portion of the money with her.
She stated that she did not wire the
proceeds to the Philippines this time
because she thought it was safer to
carry the money, according to the
complaint.
Federal law requires travelers to
declare if they are carrying more than
$10, 000. The woman hasnt been
charged, but the government in the
forfeiture complaint said it wants to
keep the money. The Detroit News
reported details of the request Friday.
Federal court records dont list a
lawyer for the woman. The Associated
Press left a message Saturday seeking
comment from her at a telephone list-
ing in Florida.
Bodies of two women
found in San Jose motel
SAN JOSE Authorities say the
decomposed bodies of two women
were found on Sunday in a motel room.
The San Jose Mercury News reports
that the bodies were found in a room at
the EZ-8 Motel on the citys north side
during a well-being check by staff.
Authorities and witnesses said the
womens bodies were found about a
week after they checked in to the
motel.
Police say there are no immediate
signs of foul play in the deaths.
San Jose police Sgt. John Carr says
it is not clear how long the women had
been there, but the odor and level of
decomposition suggested several
days.
Carr says there is no sign that the
women were reported missing before
their bodies were found.
Lawyer: No drugs, booze in
woman beaten by officer
LOS ANGELES An attorney for a
woman seen on video being repeatedly
punched by a California Highway Patrol
ofcer said tests show she had no drugs
or alcohol in her system.
Drivers who called 911 before the
incident said 51-year-old Marlene
Pinnock was barefoot on the shoulder
of a Los Angeles freeway or attempting
to cross lanes of trafc and appeared
high or drunk. One caller said she
appeared loaded.
Attorney Caree Harper said Pinnock
has been diagnosed with bipolar disor-
der and the homeless woman was off her
medications for roughly two to three
months when the July 1 altercation
occurred.
The medication tends to make you
drowsy so she had to regulate when she
gets drowsy for safety purposes,
Harper said. She added that Pinnock was
previously misdiagnosed with a differ-
ent mental illness and had been failed
by the system.
The CHP said Pinnock was endanger-
ing herself by walking on Interstate 10
and the ofcer was trying to restrain her.
The agency has pledged a rapid investi-
gation.
CHP spokeswoman Sgt. Melissa
Hammond couldnt conrm whether the
agency has Pinnocks medical records
but said if it did, they wouldnt be
released because of the investigation.

A champion is among students at
Burlingame High School as they start
school this week.
Senior Riley Woo, 17, took home the rst
place prize at U.S. Nationals in New Jersey
this August for solving a 4x4x4, as opposed
to the traditional 3x3x3, Rubiks Cube
blindfolded. He did this in four minutes and
50 seconds, including the memorization of
the randomly mixed 4x4x4 cube. He took
home second place for solving the 3x3x3
cube blindfolded fastest. Woo is among an
elite class called Cubers.
Blindfolded solving is pretty cool
because I think its the most impressive to
non-Cubers, Woo said. Ive learned a lot
from blindfolded solving. It teaches you to
train your brain in ways you didnt think
you could train it. ... The main reason I prac-
tice blindfolded events is because it not
only improves recognizing patterns and
learning algorithms but also trains memo-
ry.
School is one of those aspects. Hes tak-
ing six Advanced Placement classes this
coming school year and he practices trum-
pet and piano daily. He hopes to go on to
University of California at Berkeley to
study computer science. Woo is not just into
math and science though.
My best subject in school is actually
Spanish, he said. Ateacher freshmen year
unlocked my inner Spanish potential.
In terms of his cubing life, Woo rst
picked up a cube at the age of 9 in 2006 after
his mom saw an ad for a Rubiks Cube com-
petition at the Exploratorium in San
Francisco in a parenting magazine. Woo
now owns 50 cubes.
I saw all the people solving them and I
thought I could solve it, he said. I bought
my rst one and of course I couldnt solve it.
A week later, I looked up tutorials on
YouTube.
The rst time he solved a 3x3x3 cube
unblindfolded, it took him ve minutes.
Now, it takes him about 10 seconds unblind-
folded and he is ranked third in the United
States for the 3x3x3 blindfolded and 17th in
the world in that category. He solved cubes
for about a year before going on a hiatus
from regularly solving. Then in 2011, he
rediscovered the cube when he would nish
his standardized testing at school early. He
swapped out his Toys R Us cube puzzles for
professional cubes by Moyu, Shengshou
and Dayan that turn better.
I became a real speed cuber and had
knowledge of cubes, he said.
During the nationals this year Woo has
been two other times he and other com-
petitors each got three attempts to solve
their cubes blindfolded. The judges take the
best of those three attempts. Interestingly,
during his rst two attempts on the 3x3x3

A $1,000 reward is being offered in the
shooting of a 6-pound Chihuahua in East
Menlo Park that left the animal paralyzed
from the waist down and ultimately eutha-
nized.
Residents on the 1300 block of Henderson
Avenue found the injured dog Aug. 1 in front
of their home in pain and unable to walk. A
veterinarian with the Peninsula Humane
Society/SPCA discovered entrance and exit
wounds on the dogs hindquarters and X-rays
conrmed he had a severed spine at the lumbar
vertebrae.
Based on the wound, PHS medical staff
determined the dog was shot with some kind
of projectile but cant be certain it was a bul-
let and not a BB or pellet. No fragments were
recovered in the animal.
We dont get many cases like this where
somebody has shot a domestic animal. Its
usually more shootings of wildlife, PHS
spokesman Scott Delucchi said.
He estimated the last such case was within
the previous two to three years.
PHS ofcials decided to euthanize the ani-
mal that same day after tests conrmed his
severe condition.
The dog would never have regained use of
his back legs or hips, have feeling in the area
or have any control of his bodily functions,
Delucchi said.
The injurys location also meant the dog
would likely have needed his bladder manual-
ly emptied at least twice daily and possibly
need help defecating. He might also have
been prone to future injury because a dog lack-
ing sensation can hurt itself further by, for
example, lying next to a wall heater, Delucchi
said.
The male Chihuahua is described as brown,
intact and 4 to 5 years old. He had no identi-
cation and appeared to otherwise have good
health and weight.
PHS/SPCA is offering a $1,000 reward for
information leading to an arrest and convic-
tion in the shooting which would likely be
charged as felony animal cruelty.
Anyone with information about the shoot-
ing should contact PHS Lead Humane
Investigator Christina Hanley at 340-7022,
ext. 384.

Acouple previously convicted of using a
stolen credit card in Half Moon Bay were
charged Monday with possessing a wallet
and checkbook one allegedly swiped from a
funeral wake.
Robert Spiva, 31, and Paige Boswell, 22,
both East Palo Alto, each pleaded not guilty
Monday to their respective charges in the
Belmont incident. Each are charged with
possessing stolen property. Boswell is also
charged with possessing the identication
of another and Spiva is charged with three
counts of identity theft and a misdemeanor
count of drug paraphernalia possession.
According to prosecutors, a woman
reported her items missing the day after
Spiva worked as a caterer at a funeral. On
Aug. 3, her credit card was used at a Palo Alto
gas station near Spivas residence and he
matched the suspect on the surveillance
video. A probation search of his home
turned up the credit card and gift cards taken
from the funeral but Spiva claimed he found
them in a restroom at work, District
Attorney Steve Wagstaffe said.
He also allegedly had
debit and insurance cards
stolen from mail in
Woodside two weeks ear-
lier.
Boswell had several
pages of personal identi-
cation information in an
envelope, he said.
On Monday, the pair
asked for court-appointed
attorneys and waived
their right to a speedy
trial. Commissioner
Stephanie Garrett sched-
uled an Aug. 22 prelimi-
nary hearing and set bail
at $100,000. Both also
remain in custody on a
no-bail hold for allegedly
violating their proba-
tion.
The couple each pleaded no contest in
April 2013 for using a stolen credit card to
book a room at the Ritz-Carlton hotel in
Half Moon Bay and were later found in pos-
session of identifying information for
dozens of people. Boswell received a year in
jail and Spiva was given 18 months.

Bill could lead to boost in vehicle fees
SACRAMENTO Counties will be
allowed to increase vehicle registration fees
to pay for ngerprint identication pro-
grams under a bill headed to the governor.
The Assembly passed AB2393 Monday on
a 41-30 vote, the minimum needed.
Republicans criticized the process, saying
the bill is a tax-increase that requires a
supermajority vote to pass.
Democratic Assemblyman Marc Levine of
San Rafael says his bill will help law
enforcement agencies improve programs
intended to keep communities safe.
AB2393 authorizes counties to increase
fees by $1 for personal vehicles and $2 for
commercial vehicles. Those fees come on
top of a $46 base charge, a $24 surcharge for
the California Highway Patrol and other
fees counties can add.
Republican Assemblywoman Shannon
Grove of Bakerseld says there is no con-
nection between ngerprint programs and
vehicle fees.

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.

funeral matters or want to make pre-
planning arrangements please feel free to

THE HIGHLANDS in Millbrae at (650)

Local brief
By Fenit Nirappil
SACRAMENTO Gov. Jerry Brown and
Democratic legislative leaders said Monday
they are closing in on a deal to overhaul a
water bond on the November ballot, but
their replacement plan still needs support
from Republicans.
Both houses of the Legislature voted
Monday to extend the deadline for printing
voter pamphlets, and the governor signed
the bill into law. That gives them another
two days to reach an agreement.
Todays legislative action provides
additional time to get an acceptable water
bond one thats affordable and considers
the needs of all Californians, Brown said
in a statement.
The bond proposal would provide money
for projects including dams, water recy-
cling and groundwater cleanup and requires
a two-thirds vote in both chambers.
Democrats hold a supermajority in the 80-
member Assembly but do not in the 40-
member Senate, where they will need
Republican support to put the replacement
measure on the ballot.
We are negotiating hard with the admin-
istration, with our Republican colleagues
... to try to get this done, said Senate
President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg, D-
Sacramento.
He and Assembly Speaker Toni Atkins, D-
San Diego, support a $7 billion proposal
that would appear as Proposition 1 on the
November ballot. Thats bigger than a $6
billion plan proposed by Brown, who cau-
tioned against increasing the states debt,
but smaller than an almost $9 billion plan
backed by Republicans.
U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein, a Democrat
known for pushing for increased water sup-
ply for farmers in Congress, came out in
support of the Democratic plan and said she
would campaign for it.
A sticking point in the latest negotia-
tions has been funding for water storage
projects, including the proposed Sites
Reservoir north of Sacramento and the
Temperance Flat dam northeast of Fresno.
Democrats are offering $2.5 billion in the
latest package, while Republicans have
demanded at least $3 billion, the amount in
the current bond.
Senate Minority Leader Bob Huff, R-
Diamond Bar, said he was supporting the
two-day extension because he sees
progress in the negotiations.
Were not there yet, he said.
The bond also faces opposition from
environmental groups and some Northern
California interests, which say the
Democratic proposal enables Browns plan
to build tunnels diverting water from the
Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta to
Southern California and Central Valley
farms.
An $11.1 billion bond negotiated in
2009 is on the ballot as Proposition 43 but
is considered too costly and burdened by
pet projects to pass.
Without the two-day extension, language
and arguments for the potentially defunct
bond have appeared in the ballot pamphlet
sent to voters. Sen. Joel Anderson, R-
Alpine, was one of three lawmakers to vote
against the extension in the Senate, saying
it reduces the time voters have to consider
all issues on the ballot.
Lawmakers have also raised concerns
about how the latest bond agreement has
been pushed through with minimal public
hearings, private negotiations and an
expedited schedule. Brown publicly
released his bond plan last week after
months of lawmakers wrangling.
Where have we been and where has the
administration been since January? said
Sen. Jim Nielsen, R-Gerber. This water
crisis has been around these many
months.

WASHINGTON As an AIDS activist in
the early 1990s, Gregg Gonsalves traveled
to Washington to challenge the Food and
Drug Administration.
Gonsalves was part of the confrontational
group AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power,
which staged protests outside the FDAs
headquarters, disrupted its public meetings
and pressured its leaders into speeding up
the approval of experimental drugs for
patients dying of AIDS.
A quarter century later, Gonsalves still
travels to Washington, but with a different
agenda: to defend the FDA.
At a recent forum on FDA issues,
Gonsalves implored congressional staffers
to protect the agency from growing anti-
regulatory sentiment that he worries will
roll back safety and effectiveness standards
for all types of drugs. The efforts include
new state laws designed to undercut the
FDAs authority by giving patients early
access to unapproved drugs and a lobbying
push by industry groups to speed up the time
it takes the FDAto review new treatments.

Clinton lays out her
foreign policy vision
By Nedra Pickler
EDGARTOWN, Mass. Laying out a foreign policy
vision ahead of a possible run for president, Hillary
Rodham Clinton made her most aggres-
sive effort yet to distinguish herself from
her former boss, President Barack
Obama, rebuking his cautious approach
to global crises and saying the U.S. doc-
trine has to go beyond dont do stupid
stuff.
Great nations need organizing princi-
ples, and dont do stupid stuff is not an
organizing principle, Clinton said in a
weekend magazine interview, referring to
a version of the phrase Obama and his advisers have used
privately to describe his approach to foreign policy.
Asked for her organizing principle, she replied: Peace,
progress, and prosperity. This worked for a very long time.
Clintons critiques come as she weighs whether to seek
the White House in 2016, and as Obama wrestles with tough
choices on how the U.S. should engage in disputes erupting
across the world.
In a wide-ranging interview with The Atlantic published
on its website, Clinton offered an uncompromising defense
of Israels battle against Hamas in Gaza and argued against
Obamas decision not to build up a ghting force to con-
front Syrian President Bashar Assad.
Clinton previously described her advocacy for the Syrian
rebellion in Hard Choices, her memoir about her time
leading the State Department. Obama has said supporting
the rebels would not have stopped al-Qaida-inspired groups
from rampaging across Syria and inside Iraq today.
Clinton and then-Defense Secretary Leon Panetta report-
edly argued for arming the rebels who rst stood up to Assad
three years ago. Since then, the question of arming the
rebels has become more complicated, as al-Qaida-linked
and other fundamentalist Islamist groups have joined the
rebellion.
She told The Atlantic she cant say denitively that her
recommendations as secretary of state would have made a
difference, but the failure to do that left a big vacuum,
which the jihadists have now lled.
In describing what she means by peace, progress, and
prosperity, Clinton said Americans want to take care of
each other and do so in a way that rewards those who work
hard and play by the rules.
And yeah, we dont want to see the world go to hell in a
handbasket, and they dont want to see a resurgence of
aggression by anybody, she said.

DONETSK, Ukraine Ukrainian
forces on Monday zeroed in on rebel
strongholds as the government wel-
comed an international humanitarian
relief mission into the rebellious east
involving Russia, the United States and
the European Union.
The mission will be conducted under
the auspices of the International
Committee of the Red Cross. The
organization said in a statement it is
ready to facilitate the operation with
the involvement of all sides concerned
following a Russian initiative to pro-
vide humanitarian assistance to people
in eastern Ukraine. It wasnt clear when
the deliveries would start.
The practical details of this opera-
tion need to be claried before this ini-
tiative can move forward, said Laurent
Corbaz, the ICRCs head of operations
for Europe and Central Asia.
Moscow had long urged Kiev to allow
the aid delivery, but Ukraine and the
West previously had opposed the move,
fearing that it could serve as a pretext
for sending Russian troops into rebel-
held territory. Ukraine and the West
have accused Moscow of arming and
supporting the rebels ghting govern-
ment troops in the east, a charge that
the Kremlin has denied.
The Red Cross said it has shared a doc-
ument with Ukrainian and Russian
authorities that stipulates all parties
must guarantee the security of its staff
during the operation and respect the
organizations neutrality.
The aid mission was announced after a
conversation between U.S. President
Barack Obama and Ukrainian President
Petro Poroshenko Monday.
The White House said that Obama and
Poroshenko agreed that any Russian
intervention in Ukraine without the
formal, express consent and authoriza-
tion of the Ukraine government would
be unacceptable and a violation of
international law.
Shortly before that, Russia had
declared that it was dispatching a
humanitarian convoy into Ukraine in
cooperation with the Red Cross without
giving any details. President Vladimir
Putins spokesman, Dmitry Peskov,
later was quoted by Russian news wires
as saying that the convoy wouldnt
involve and military personnel.
Ofcials in Kiev took pains to speci-
fy Monday that the Ukrainian govern-
ment was behind the humanitarian con-
voy initiative, and that Moscow was
only one of several countries involved.
Apart from deliveries provided by
Ukraine, the mission will feature an
international component, including aid
provided to the International
Committee of the Red Cross by the
United States, the EU, as well as
Russia, Ukraines Foreign Ministry
said.

BAGHDAD Iraqs president snubbed
incumbent Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki
and picked another politician Monday to
form the next government, setting up a
erce political power struggle even as the
country battles extremists in the north and
west.
The showdown came as the United States
increased its role in ghting back Sunni
extremists of the Islamic State group that is
threatening the autonomous Kurdish region
in the north. Senior American ofcials said
U.S. intelligence agencies are directly arm-
ing the Kurds who are battling the militants
in what would be a shift in Washingtons
policy of only working through the central
government in Baghdad.
U.S. warplanes carried out new strikes
Sunday, hitting a convoy of Sunni militants
moving to attack Kurdish forces defending
the autonomous zones capital, Irbil. The
recent American airstrikes have helped the
Kurds achieve one of their rst victories
after weeks of retreat as peshmerga ghters
over the weekend recaptured two towns near
Irbil. The Pentagons director of operations
said the effort will do little to slow Islamic
State militants overall.
Haider al-Ibadi, the deputy speaker of par-
liament from al-Malikis Shiite Dawa party,
was selected by President Fouad Massoum
to be the new prime minister and was given
30 days to present a new government to
lawmakers for approval.
U.S. President Barack Obama called al-
Ibadis nomination a promising step for-
ward and he urged all Iraqi political leaders
to work peacefully through the political
process.
But al-Maliki, who has been in power for
eight years, defiantly rejected al-Ibadis
nomination as prime minister. In a speech
after midnight Sunday, he accused Massoum
of blocking his reappointment as prime
minister and carrying out a coup against
the constitution and the political process.
In another speech broadcast Monday
night, al-Maliki insisted al-Ibadis nomina-
tion runs against the constitutional proce-
dures and he accused the United States of
siding with political forces who have vio-
lated the constitution.
Today, we are facing a grave constitu-
tional breach and we have appealed and we
have the proof that we are the largest bloc,
al-Maliki said.
We assure all the Iraqi people and the
political groups that there is no importance
or value to this nomination, he added.
But despite angrily insisting he should be
nominated for a third term, al-Maliki has
lost some support with the main coalition
of Shiite parties. His critics say al-Maliki
contributed to Iraqs political crisis by
monopolizing power and pursuing a sectar-
ian agenda that alienated the countrys
Sunni and Kurdish minorities.
In welcoming the new Iraqi leadership
amid the countrys worst crisis since U.S.
troops withdrew in 2011, Obama said the
only lasting solution is the formation of an
inclusive government.
These have been difcult days in Iraq,
Obama said while on vacation on Marthas
Vineyard. Im sure there are going to be
difcult days ahead.
The nomination of al-Ibadi came hours
after al-Maliki deployed his elite security
troops in the streets of Baghdad. Hundreds
of his supporters were escorted to a popular
rally site by military trucks, raising fears he
might try to stay in power by force.
We are with you, al-Maliki, they shout-
ed, waving posters of him as they sang and
danced.
Al-Ibadi, the former minister of commu-
nications from 2003-04, pledged to form a
government to protect the Iraqi people.
He was nominated after receiving the major-
ity of votes from lawmakers within the Iraqi
National Alliance, a coalition of Shiite par-
ties.
Apeaceful transition is looking increas-
ingly unlikely, given al-Malikis reputa-
tion for having replaced many senior Sunni
ofcers with less-experienced, more loyal
Shiite ofcers.
Iraq crisis deepens; U.S. directly arms Kurds
By Mohammed Daraghmeh
CAIRO As a new temporary truce took
hold, negotiators from Israel and the Hamas
militant group resumed indirect talks
Monday to reach a long-term cease-re in
the Gaza Strip.
The two sides huddled in an Egyptian gov-
ernment building for nine consecutive
hours, a Palestinian ofcial said Monday, in
what are expected to be marathon negotia-
tions in the coming days.
The Palestinian delegations were more
optimistic Monday, the Palestinian ofcial
told the Associated Press, who spoke on
condition of anonymity because he was not
authorized to discuss the negotiations with
the media. He said progress was made on
several issues.
The 72-hour truce, brokered by Israel,
took effect just after midnight, in the sec-
ond attempt to halt a month of heavy ght-
ing between the sides.
A similar three-day truce collapsed on
Friday when militants resumed rocket re
on Israel after the sides were unable to make
any headway in Egyptian-brokered negotia-
tions for a more lasting deal. Hamas is seek-
ing an end to an Israeli-Egyptian border
blockade, while Israel wants Hamas to dis-
arm.
The monthlong war, pitting the Israeli
military against rocket-ring Hamas mili-
tants, has killed more than 1,900
Palestinians, the majority civilians,
Palestinian and U.N. ofcials say. In Israel,
67 people have been killed, all but three of
them soldiers, ofcials there say.
The halt in violence allowed Palestinians
in war-battered Gaza to leave homes and
shelters.
On Monday morning, high school stu-
dents in Gaza lled the streets as they head-
ed to pick up their graduation certicates
after the Education Ministry said theyd be
ready. People waited to buy fuel for genera-
tors as power and communication workers
struggled to x cables damaged in the ght-
ing. Long lines formed at ATMs.
Last weeks talks failed in part because
Israel rejected Hamas demand for a com-
plete end to the blockade of the Gaza Strip,
enforced by Egypt and Israel. Israel says the
closure is necessary to prevent arms smug-
gling, and ofcials do not want to make any
concessions that would allow Hamas to
declare victory.
The blockade has greatly limited the
movement of Palestinians in and out of the
impoverished territory of 1.8 million peo-
ple for jobs and schooling. It has also lim-
ited the ow of goods into Gaza and blocked
virtually all exports. Unemployment there
is more than 50 percent.
Hamas ofcials have since signaled that
they will have more modest goals in the cur-
rent round of talks.

Water conservation
on the Peninsula
Editor,
While I applaud all of the water
reduction and recycling going on in
Redwood City as mentioned in Mayor
Jeff Gees guest perspective,
Economic growth and water needs,
in the Aug. 7 edition of the Daily
Journal, I think Mayor Gee is missing
an important point.
Afew years ago I was shopping
with my son for an item for our house.
We found what we wanted, marked 50
percent off. He then suggested we
spend the money we saved on some-
thing for him. What he failed to real-
ize was that saving 50 percent did
not magically create the other 50 per-
cent in discretionary funds.
So it is with the water. Its truly
great Redwood City reduced water
demand by hundreds of millions of
gallons. Similarly, other cities
reduced usage. But reducing usage does
not generate additional supply. If
there is no water, then reducing usage
by millions of gallons does not mean
we magically have millions available
to use.
The seemingly endless development
throughout the county and the
Peninsula puts a burden on our infra-
structure. If all of the businesses and
homeowners reduced water usage by
10 percent, its not license to increase
the amount of residential and commer-
cial space by 10 percent. Yes, during
normal times the old rules say you
attain scal growth through physical
growth. But that model is obsolete.
Our cities cannot use grow or die as
the formula anymore, as that growth
is ultimately a cancer.
Also regarding water conservation:
Waiters and waitresses, when relling
my water or beverage, please rell my
actual glass. Bringing me a new glass
every time wastes the water necessary
to clean them afterward. And heres
another dilemma: should we all be
drinking more out-of-state bottled
water? While the plastic bottles are an
issue we all got uppity about over the
past decade, it expands our portable
water supply at the expense of some
plastic recycling.

Bikes on Caltrain a plea to
maintain or increase capacity
Editor,
I regularly ride my bicycle to one of
the stations in San Francisco and from
there onto the train to my workplace
in the Peninsula. If I werent able to
carry my bicycle on the train, I would-
nt have any other option but driving,
which I truly dislike.
Thats why Im asking Caltrain to
maintain or even increase bike capaci-
ty on the planned new train. I would
even be willing to pay extra (I actual-
ly think this would be something to
consider, especially for the faster
trains). Consider the recent pilot by
BART, whereby bicycles are now
allowed on all trains I see many
more riders than before. Ideally, I
would like every train to have one or
two entire cars for bikes only; sepa-
rating bikers from regular passengers
could also benet timeliness. Thanks
for your kind attention.

An important meeting
for Burlingame renters
Editor,
Renters and homeowners who care
about the lack of affordable housing
in Burlingame are urged to attend the
Monday, Aug. 18 City Council meet-
ing, beginning at 7 p.m. The council
is expected to review the draft
Housing Element, essentially map-
ping out the future of housing in the
city.
The current average advertised rent
for a one bedroom apartment is
$2,100 a month. Afamily needing a
three-bedroom home can expect to
pay $5,000 or more a month. Renters
are now paying 50 percent and more
of their income to have a roof over
their heads. Seniors and disabled peo-
ple are at the greatest risk of displace-
ment, and no one in the city is track-
ing the number of displacements.
Instead, lower cost apartment build-
ings are being torn down, only to be
replaced by very expensive condos.
Over 51 percent of all residents in
Burlingame are renters, and the city is
responsible to protect their interests.
But they must see us and hear our
voices to know that we demand afford-
able housing so we may live in digni-
ty and remain where our lives are
established.
If you are a renter, please come to
the Aug. 18 council meeting, and if
you need to register to vote, let us
know at
respectforpeople@gmail.com.

Israel not fooled
Editor,
Friday, immediately after the 72-
hour cease-fire ended, Hamas
reportedly launched 33 rockets at
Israel, to which Israel has respond-
ed. There is a saying: Fool me
once, shame on you; fool me twice,
shame on me. Time after time,
Israel has agreed to a cease-fire
only to be fooled by Hamas.
Either the truce is broken outright
or Hamas uses the time out to rearm,
launching a barrage of rockets imme-
diately after the truces deadline. Israel
is not fooled but eternally hopeful for
lasting peace; commendable indeed,
but I fear that some day soon Israel
will say shame on me.

State of affairs
Editor,
Now its Ebola from Africa and the
ISIS extremists spreading chaos in
Iraq. It seems almost like the planet is
trying to shake off some of the excess
humans that are running things into
the ground. We cant forget the car-
toon characters of John McCain and
Lindsey Graham demanding that we
control the worlds affairs in a more
manly manner (with someone elses
kids of course). We also have the colo-
nial wars by Israels right-wingers
still trying to create that Greater
Israel and the pushback from the
natives opposed to being kicked out.
Dont forget Ukraine and Syria
(remember Assad must go?). We
have global climate change creating
yet more pressure on us to get along
on less land, food and water and you
have todays state of affairs. It looks
like life on the space station is far
more peaceful than it is down here.

Double-bike commute
Editor,
I had the perfect solution to the
lack of bike accommodations on
Caltrain problem about 20 years ago
(shared in another Peninsula newspa-
per). It looks like its time to share it
with the current generation of train-
bikers.
After biking to the train station on
a well-maintained, but unattractive
bike, I parked (and locked) the bike
and boarded the train. At the work-end
of the train commute, I simply picked
up a second, equally unattractive bike,
patiently waiting to carry me to my
work site.
Both bikes were very cheap, fully
functional and in no way attractive to
any self-respecting bike thief. It
worked for me I was never bumped
for lack of bike accommodations, nor
lost a bike in my years of bike-train
commuting.

Letters to the editor
Locking up a
good review
S
o much for three hots and a cot. Todays inmates
are demanding more from their county jails.
Wrinkled uniforms in faded orange wont cut it.
Freshly pressed and please use color safe bleach. As for
those meal times would a gluten-free option be too
much to ask? And perhaps an extra pillow?
Yes, in this era of the discriminating criminal, the
clientele are looking for something beyond the mundane
and those who nd the accommodations up to snuff are
turning to the only place somebody might listen: the
Internet.
Yelp, the rst stop for some seeking out a good Sunday
brunch or speedy tailor, is also the online spot to review
the local incarceration hubs. The idea actually seems a lit-
tle pointless; one typically doesnt stop to consider the
quality of the area jail or
honor farm when deciding
where to commit a crime. San
Mateo doesnt suddenly seem
more palatable than say San
Jose when drawing up the bur-
glary map because the would-
be thieves have heard such and
such about each countys
behind bars offerings.
Although that might explain
why two guys from Arizona
were recently popped for
allegedly ying to the Bay
Area to burglarize fancy
Woodside homes. Maybe the draw was less the likelihood
of nding riches and more the distance from Sheriff Joe
Arpaios infamous jail and tent city.
Then again, maybe not. The verdict on San Mateo
Countys Maguire Correctional Facility isnt particularly
glowing although to be fair it is based on a single review
posted in December 2013. The reviewer only gives the
jail one star out of a possible ve and notes the expense
of the commissary. On the upside, the man does say the
food is better than at its counterparts in San Francisco and
San Bruno. He ends with a bit of advice: dont get in trou-
ble and dont end up there.
True that.
But for those who do decide to vacation, however long
or briey, at 300 Bradford St., heres hoping they nd
their stay similar to a person who used Yelp to review the
Lew Sterrett Justice Center in Dallas, Texas. They gave
ve stars for free room and board, free health care, cute
nurses and, oh yeah, watching Jerry Springer on the
tube.
One gentleman with tongue very rmly in cheek began
his satirical review with I really wanted to love this
place before launching into a detailed description of how
the servers didnt even know where the beef was farmed.
Another gave four stars for the industrial vibe of the
accommodations coupled with a high noise level akin to
the best hipster restaurants.
Joking aside, several of the other reviews range from
disgusting to descriptions of the staff as likely former
Walmart employees which just seems a tad rude to both
parties.
So where is this level of vitriol and humor among the
Peninsula set? Maguire should rate more than just one
measly review.
What about the individual sporks passed out to inmates?
Personal cutlery merits at least a half-star. The close prox-
imity to the courthouse might also be a selling point
unless you consider the shackled van ride to hearings a
good excuse for an outing. Write about that.
Then theres the overcrowding issue. Jail staff should
encourage outgoing inmates to share their views on that
aspect of the facility. It will help sell the public on the
idea of the new jail currently being constructed in
Redwood City.
One of Yelps best features is the ability to scroll
through customer photos for a more realistic look at hotel
rooms, dessert plates and scenic views. This wouldnt
work out so well in a jail that whole cellphone ban
kind of gets in the way so readers will need to rely on
powerful descriptions by those whove actually spent
some time there. In fact, they should take notes during
their stay. Its not like they dont have the time.
Yelp, which recently celebrated its 10-year anniversary
and rst-time protability, sells itself as a way to help
people make a choice. Who better to use it than those
whove already made some questionable ones?

Big movers
By Steve Rothwell
NEWYORK U.S. stocks gained on
Monday as investors focused on corpo-
rate news instead of geopolitical wor-
ries.
Kinder Morgan surged after announc-
ing that it would combine a group of
businesses that it controls to create the
fourth-biggest U.S. energy company
by market value. Banana seller Chiquita
Brands International soared after the
company received a $611 million buy-
out offer.
The stock market was extending a
rebound from Friday when it logged its
biggest one-day gain in ve months
following signs that tensions in
Ukraine might be easing. In July stocks
had slumped as tensions between
Russia and the West had escalated.
Were hopeful that geopolitical ten-
sions will ramp down, said Jim
Russell, a regional investment director
at US Bank. The fundamental econom-
ic backdrop remains pretty rm, even
though investment sentiment remains
less than certain.
The Standard & Poors 500 index rose
5.33 points, or 0.3 percent, to
1,936.92. The Dow Jones industrial
average climbed 16.05 points, or 0.1
percent, to 16,569.98 percent. The
Nasdaq composite gained 30.43 points,
or 0.7 percent, to 4,401.33.
Kinder Morgan was the biggest gain-
er in the S&P500. The energy company
rose $3.25, or 9 percent, to $39.37
after the company said Sunday that the
group of oil and gas pipeline and stor-
age companies that it controls will
combine.
Investors were also tracking corpo-
rate earnings reports.
Shares of Priceline Group rose
$27.72, or 2.2 percent, to $1,309.20
after the company reported second-quar-
ter earnings that topped Wall Street
expectations. The online travel compa-
ny said the summer season got off to a
strong start. Shares of rival Expedia
gained $1.39, or 1.7 percent, to
$83.94.
More than 90 percent of the compa-
nies in the S&P 500 index have now
reported earnings for the second quarter.
Company earnings are expected to
grow by 10.1 percent in the period,
according to data from S&P Capital IQ.
That compares with growth of 4.9 per-
cent in the second quarter last year and
growth of 3.4 percent in the rst quar-
ter.
Stocks have also been getting a lift
as the ow of mergers and acquisitions
has picked up this year.
On Monday, Chiquita Brands
International surged $3.04, or 30 per-
cent, to $13.10 after the company
received a buyout offer from investment
firm Safra Group and the Brazilian
agribusiness and juice company Cutrale
Group.
Safra and Cutrale are offering $13 per
share, a 29 percent premium to
Chiquitas closing price of $10.06 on
Friday. Chiquita said its board would
review it and asked shareholders to
await its recommendation. The unso-
licited bid disclosed Monday comes as
Chiquita and Fyffes of Ireland were
working on their own transaction. The
two companies agreed in March to
merge in a stock-for-stock deal to create
the worlds biggest banana supplier.
Even though stocks have rallied over
the last two days, investors should get
used to the prospect of increased
volatility in the market as the Federal
Reserve nears the end of its economic
stimulus program and gets closer to
raising interest rates, said Kristina
Hooper, US Investment Strategist at
Allianz Global Investors.
Stocks are a lot more vulnerable
with markets pricing in a less accom-
modative Fed, said Hooper.
U.S. government bond prices were
little changed. The yield on the 10-year
Treasury note held at 2.42 percent from
Friday, close to its lowest level in a
year.
Longer-dated Treasury notes and
bonds have surged this year even
though the Federal Reserve is winding
down its economic stimulus and pur-
chasing fewer bonds.
Stocks higher on corporate news, earnings

DETROIT People are waiting longer
than they should for an answer when they
petition the government to open an investi-
gation into what could be serious safety
problems.
The Associated Press reviewed all 15 peti-
tions led by drivers with the National
Highway Trafc Safety Administration since
2010 and found the agency missed the legal
deadline to grant or deny the requests 12
times. One petition from 2012 has yet to be
resolved.
A 1974 law passed to make the agency
move faster requires a decision within four
months of receiving a petition. But even
though the agency has ned automakers such
as General Motors and Toyota millions for
missing deadlines to disclose safety issues,
there is no penalty when its tardy itself.
NHTSA concedes it has missed the dead-
lines but says it often must ask petitioners
for more data to complete its analysis. Still,
in eight petitions reviewed by the AP, it took
more than a year to open an investigation or
close the case.
Safety advocates say a delay that long can
put lives at risk. And given the recent criti-
cism of the agency for its role in GMs
delayed recall of cars with defective ignition
switches, these advocates question whether
it is functioning well enough to protect the
public.
Everything is just really slow, says Matt
Oliver, executive director of the North
Carolina Consumers Council, which peti-
tioned the government in February 2012 on
behalf of drivers seeking an investigation of
Nissan truck transmission failures. It has yet
to get a decision. You have to ask is every-
thing going as efciently as it can?
Car owners have two ways to ask safety
regulators for action. They can le a com-
plaint, or submit a petition. Acomplaint has
information about a single incident and usu-
ally is filed via the agencys website.
Petitions are formal requests for investiga-
tions, with evidence of a problem in many
vehicles.
Often petitions are a last resort for drivers
frustrated by intransigent automakers. Many
drivers seek help from safety advocates to
complete the petition. And even if an inves-
tigation is opened, it can take months or
years before a recall is announced.
Clarence Ditlow, executive director of the
Center For Auto Safety, a nonprot founded
by consumer advocate Ralph Nader, peti-
tioned in November of 2009 for an investi-
gation into res in Jeep SUVs with gas tanks
behind the rear axle. Despite reports of 12
res, nine injuries and one death at the time,
it took the agency more than nine months to
grant the petition and open a formal investi-
gation ve months after the legal dead-
line.
The agencys probe found 51 re deaths as
of last June, when a recall was finally
announced. Ditlow says that since the peti-
tion was led, at least 31 people died in ery
rear crashes involving the SUVs.
Chrysler, the maker of Jeeps, maintains
the SUVs perform no worse than comparable
vehicles. It agreed to install trailer hitches to
protect the tanks in low-speed crashes.
Realistically, the agency may need more
than 120 days for complex petitions, says
former NHTSA administrator Joan
Claybrook. Legislators should extend the
deadlines and take funding from the agency
or the administrators salary if they arent
met, she says.
NHTSA has been criticized for failing to
connect the dots among thousands of con-
sumer complaints it received last decade
about General Motors small cars with defec-
tive ignition switches. GM nally recalled
the cars this year. The faulty switches have
been linked to at least 13 deaths.
While GM withheld details of the problem
from the public and the government for more
than 10 years, critics say the safety agency
still collected plenty of evidence to open an
investigation and order a recall sooner.
U.S. agency moves slowly on investigation requests
Senator: Business tax
would undermine Tesla bid
SPARKS, Nev. U.S. Sen. Dean Heller
warned Monday that a proposal to fund edu-
cation by taxing corporations would under-
mine efforts to persuade Tesla Motors to
build a $5 billion battery plant in Nevada.
The Republican senator believes Nevada
is well-positioned in the bidding war with
Texas, California, New Mexico and Arizona
to lure the electric-car maker whose
gigafactory would bring an estimated
6,500 jobs. He cited the state as the only
place where the Palo Alto-based company
has done site work to prepare to build, but
Tesla has plans to break ground in one or
two other states as well.
Heller attended a transportation round
table sponsored by the Association of
General Contractors in Sparks at Granite
Construction, which helped prepare the dirt
pad last month at an industrial park east of
Sparks.
He would not say whether he thinks Gov.
Brian Sandoval should call a special legisla-
tive session to put together an incentive
package to compete with the other states, as
some business leaders have advocated.
Business brief

NEWYORK Facebooks recent effort to
force people to adopt its standalone mobile
messaging app has privacy-concerned users
up in arms. Many of them believe the app is
especially invasive.
One blog from the Hufngton Post pub-
lished in December has gone viral, making
the rounds on the social network recently
because it claims the app gives Facebook
direct control over your mobile device and
allows Facebook to call phone numbers with-
out a users intervention and send text mes-
sages without conrmation, but none of that
is accurate.
In truth, Facebook Messenger isnt any
more invasive than Facebooks main app
or other similar applications.
The fear and confusion stem from a message
that greets owners of Android devices when
they install the app. It explains that the app
requires permission access to the devices
camera, microphone, list of contacts and
other information.
Heres what Facebooks mobile messaging
app does and doesnt do.
Myth: You have to use the
Messenger app if you want to send
messages to your Facebook friends.
Real i ty: While its required to download if
you are using Facebooks mobile app on the
iPhone or Android smartphones, you can
avoid it if use the Facebook messenger serv-
ice on your desktop or laptop, iPad or even
the mobile Facebook website.
Myth: The Facebook Messenger
apps terms of service are different
from and more intrusive than
Facebooks own ofcial terms.
Real i ty: Facebooks terms of service are
the same for all its mobile apps, including the
main Facebook app. You can read it here:
m.facebook.com/policies. Whats upsetting
people is the list of permissions they see
when they download and install the app on an
Android phone. Its a long list with 10 items,
each of which states that the app needs access
to features on your phone including contacts,
calendar, location data and Wi-Fi informa-
tion. Sure, thats a lot of personal data. But
its the same data most messaging apps have
access to. On the iPhone, users dont get the
list of permissions when they install the app,
but when they use it, permissions pop up
individually. You can view the apps list of
permissions here:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?
idcom.facebook.orca. Click view details
under Permissions.
Myth: Facebooks Messenger app
will use your phones microphone to
record you.
Real i ty: The app needs permission to use
your phones microphone and camera. But it
requires that access because the microphone
is needed for voice calling, a service that the
standalone app offers that the Facebook app
doesnt, and sending sound with videos. Same
with the camera, it needs access if you want to
send your friends pictures.
Myth: Facebook will direct the app
to send SMS, or text, messages wi th-
out your permi ssi on.
Real i ty: One of the permissions does say
that Facebook can edit, receive, read and send
SMS messages. But the company says the
reason it wants to send and receive SMS mes-
sages is so that if you add a phone number to
your Messenger account, you can conrm by
a conrmation code that Facebook sends via
text message.
Myth: The Messenger app is new.
Real i ty: Facebooks Messenger app has
been around since 2011. In April, it started
requiring that users in Europe download and
install the app if they wish to send messages
to Facebook friends. Two weeks ago, the
company said it would expand the requirement
to other parts of the world. Facebook says its
forcing users to make the switch because a
standalone app offers more features.
Busted: Five myths about Facebooks messenger app

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Upon returning from San Bernardino
Sunday evening, Pacifica American was
reminded of just how much the team meant
to its hometown.
The 12 players, three coaches and upwards
of 150 fans who embarked on the trip to the
Little League Baseball West Regional play-
offs 10 days previous were a tad road weary
after Pacifica American fell 11-2 to
Mountain Ridge in Saturdays regional
championship game.
But the city of Pacica made certain the
green-and-gold caravan was in high spirits
upon returning home.
Just driving into town, you could see
banners up on businesses still congratu-
lations banners, Pacica American manag-
er Steve Falk said. It was pretty neat to
come home and see how the community was
still pulling for us and still thinking of us.
Yet the team was evidently already in good
spirits, according to Steve Falk. That became
apparent to the teams skipper immediately
following Saturdays loss, which saw the
Nevada state champs claim the honor of rep-
resenting the Western Region at the Little
League World Series in Williamsport,
Pennsylvania, which starts Thursday.
As the team lined up for the postgame
awards presentation, which crowned
Mountain Ridge with the championship
banner, the heart of the Pacica American
batting order of Elijah Ricks and Christian
Falk had a conversation amid the ceremony
about how cool it was that theyd just shared
the experience of a lifetime, according to
Steve Falk.
For a kid to say that just after they lost the
championship game I mean, we talked
about it, and we had fun, Steve Falk said.
The evening marked the end of a remark-
able week and a half, which started with

KANSAS CITY, Mo. Alcides Escobar
pumped his st. Jarrod Dyson did a backi p.
And for the rst time in more than a decade,
the Kansas City Royals were in rst place in
mid-August.
Yordano Ventura outpitched Sonny Gray
in a matchup of talented young starters
Monday night, and Escobar drove in the go-
ahead run as Kansas City beat the Oakland
Athletics 3-2 to take over the AL Central
lead from Detroit with its eighth consecu-
tive victory.
You want to be in rst place. Our goal
was to get back to rst place, Royals man-
ager Ned Yost said. Now our goal is to stay
in rst place.
The Royals trailed the Tigers by eight
games on July 21, but their 16th win in 19
games wiped away the decit and gave them
the lead at the latest point in a season since
2003.
Were playing great, said Escobar, who
drove in a run in the second inning before
his two-out single off Gray (12-6) in the
seventh gave Kansas City the lead for good.
Ventura lasted through sixth innings
before giving way to Kelvin Herrera (3-2),
who tossed a spotless seventh. Wade Davis
breezed through the eighth and Greg
Holland worked the ninth for his 35th save,
though it didnt come without a little drama.
Josh Donaldson led off the ninth with a
single, the rst hit by the Athletics since
the second inning, and Brandon Moss drew
a walk. But after a brief conference on the
mound, Holland got Derek Norris to bounce
into a double play and Stephen Vogt to y
out to end the game.
He has the ability to focus pitch to pitch,
which good closers can do, Yost said. You
get rst and second with his stuff, you just
have a feeling hes going to get out of it.
Kansas City put pressure on right from the
start, when Dyson and Omar Infante opened
the game with back-to-back singles. Gray
might have escaped the jam, though, if right
elder Josh Reddick hadnt ubbed a routine
throw to the ineld after Infantes hit. It
allowed Dyson to reach third base easily,
As edged by streaking Royals
JOHN RIEGER/USA TODAY SPORTS
Oakland ace right-hander Sonny Gray is still winless in August after taking his third straight
loss Monday in Kansas City.With the win, the Royals move into rst place in the AL Central.
I
f anyone needed more proof that
good pitching beats good hitting in
the game of baseball, look no fur-
ther than the 2014 Pacica American
Little League All-Stars. It saw its dream of
reaching the Little League World Series
fall short in an 11-2 loss to Mountain
Ridge, Nevada in the championship game
of the West Regional
tournament Saturday
night.
Pacica had run
roughshod over the
competition in quali-
fying for the West
Regional tournament
in San Bernardino.
Through district, sec-
tion and division
play, Pacica went
12-0, scoring double
gures in runs nine times, including
seven straight games through section-
al and divisional play before arriving
in Southern California.
Once there, however, Pacicas vaunted
bats were held in relative check. In six
regional games, Pacica failed to crack
the 10-run barrier. Conversely, it allowed
double-digit runs in three games after
allowing 10 runs or more only once in its
previous 12 games.
Weve seen good pitching the whole
time. It seems were getting every teams
No. 1. It seems every team has a guy
throwing mid-70s. For a Little Leaguer,
thats some great heat, Pacica American
manager Steve Falk told the Daily
Journals Terry Bernal, who made the trip
to San Bernardino for Pacicas seminal
and championship game.
But that should not take away from the
fact Pacica American was one of the
most prolic Little League teams to come
out of the Peninsula in years. It amassed
more than 200 hits through 18 all-star
games and four tournaments, which aver-
ages out to just over 11 hits per game,
while sporting a team batting average of
.422. Pacica scored a total of 179 runs

STANFORD Its possible no one was
happier when the Pac-12s preseason media
poll picked Oregon to win the North
Division than Stanford coach David Shaw
and his players.
After all, the Cardinal have been at their
best when theyre counted out.
While many predicted the program would
fade, Stanford survived the departures of
Toby Gerhart, Jim Harbaugh and Andrew
Luck and several other
key contributors by
actually getting better.
The Cardinal have cap-
tured back-to-back con-
ference championships
and won at least 11
games in four straight
seasons, which all ended
in BCS bowls.
Stanford will have to
overcome the odds again if it wants to com-
plete a threat-peat. The Cardinal lost 10
starters from last season and have one of the
countrys most difcult road schedules.
We just like to prove people wrong,
senior linebacker A.J. Tarpley said. It
seems like its been for all these transi-
tions, but its something we work toward
every day. We know how hard it is to keep
up that standard. Were hungry to prove our-
selves again.
Even with an inux of new starters and a
schedule that includes rigorous road games
at Oregon, UCLA, Arizona State and non-
conference rival Notre Dame, Stanford is
optimistic about its chances to complete a
three-peat.
Quarterback Kevin Hogan is back for his
redshirt junior season and Ty Montgomery
and Devon Cajuste anchor a deep and talent-
ed receivers group. The tight ends, led by
redshirt freshman Austin Hooper, are
expected to re-emerge as a part of the
offense. And the one returning starter on the
offensive line, junior left tackle Andrus
Peat, is already being mentioned as a top
Stanford looks to defy preseason poll with three-peat

and he scored on Salvador Perezs dou-
ble-play groundout.
Its pretty embarrassing, Reddick
said, especially since it cost us a run.
And we end up losing by one run, so it
doesnt make your feel any better.
After Escobar made it 2-0 in th sec-
ond, Oakland answered with some help
from Ventura, who worked to overcome
command problems most of the night.
John Jaso led off with a single, Coco
Crisp worked a walk and Donaldson
earned another free pass to load the
bases with two outs.
Moss hit a full-count pitch up the
middle to score both runners and knot
the game.
Yost pulled Ventura after a double play
got the rookie right-hander through the
sixth. And when Gray faltered in the sev-
enth and Kansas City took the lead, one
of the stingiest bullpens in baseball made
sure the smallest of margins was enough.
Those three guys at the end are as
good as you get, As manager Bob
Melvin said. They dont worry about
righty-lefty. They feel when they get to
the seventh inning with a lead, they
feel pretty good
about it.
Notes: The
Royals have not
trailed since the
first inning of
Thursdays game
in Arizona, a
span of 44
i n n i n g s .
Theres just a
real confidence
right now when we step on the
eld, Yost said.
Herrera has worked 17 1/3 consec-
utive scoreless dating to June 27.
Thats the third-longest stretch in the
majors behind Davis, who has gone
17 2/3 innings, and the As Ryan
Cook, who has gone 19 innings.
Gray struck out a career-low two
batters while losing to Kansas City
for the second time in his young
career. The only other team hes lost
to twice is Baltimore.
As shortstop Jed Lowrie was back
in the starting lineup. Hes missed
time recently with a bruised right
index nger.
Royals rst baseman Eric Hosmer
continues to wear a brace on his right
hand after breaking his third
metacarpal. He hopes to return in
September.
As left-hander Jon Lester, who beat
the Royals in his first start with
Oakland, tries to move to 3-0 since
arriving from Boston in a July 31 trade.
Kansas City counters with right-hander

led a 12-play drive for a TD in the two-minute
drill, a nice recovery from a poor performance
by the hurry-up offense the day before.
From moments shaky to superb, its been
that kind of camp for the Washington
Redskins quarterback. He looks exactly like
what he is a young player trying to mas-
ter something different.
Thats what training camp is about,
Grifn said. Youre going to have those days
where it seems a little up and down.
The Redskins wrap up camp Tuesday, and in
many ways it was a success for Grifn. He
was actually a full participant unlike last
year, when his recovery from a knee injury
limited his work and his relationship with
new coach Jay Gruden is off to a congenial
start. Fans continued to
squeal R-G-3! to beg for
his autograph, and his
mother was an everyday
presence, often wearing a
multicolored umbrella hat
to shade the sun.
But he clearly has work
to do in the latest steps of
his transformation from a
running quarterback to a
quarterback who might
occasionally run. Neither Gruden nor Grifn
want to rely on the read-option that made
Grifn such a success in 2012.
Theres a been a lot of good, theres been
some bad as most quarterbacks go
through in training camp, seeing all the
looks hes getting, Gruden said. And
overall I think hes making progress at a
good rate. ... When you watch the tape every
day he throws the ball 45 times, and 35 of
them are pretty good decisions, and then
theres a couple of them we have to correct.
Perhaps the most sobering stretch was the
three days of joint practices with the New
England Patriots, but it would have been
unfair to expect Grifn and the Redskins to
match the timing and polish of Brady and
the perennial Super Bowl contenders.
Often in camp, Griffin held the ball too
long and would have taken numerous
sacks had hitting been permitted. Gruden
attributes such moments to stubborn-
ness. He said Griffin needs to learn to
throw the ball away, that not every play
can be a touchdown.
It might have been a minor breakthrough,
therefore, when Grifn threw the ball away
when a second-down play failed to develop
as planned Monday during the successful
two-minute drill.
Those are the little things you learn
from, Grifn said.
Grifns uneven camp has in no way sug-
gested a quarterback controversy. Backup
Kirk Cousins has had some sharp practices,
but he is usually practicing against the sec-
ond-team defense. Grifn is the undisputed
starter.
Hes got the keys to the franchise in his
hands, Gruden said. And hes going to
take us a long way, so hes got to make the
right decisions, and were counting on him
to do that.
Grifn said its tough staying patient dur-
ing the learning process, especially when
so much is expected of him.
Thats something that Ill always have to
deal with, Grifn said. Its not necessarily
patience. Its about knowing that greater
things are coming.
If nothing else, Grifn might have started
a new Redskins trend with younger fans.
When he met with a pair of cancer survivors
and a Make-A-Wish child this week, he
turned the tables by asking for their auto-
graphs.
I tell you what, if I had met Michael
Jordan (when I was growing up) and he
asked me for my autograph, I think it would
have been a shock, Grifn said. So its
kind of ipping the script on them a little
bit. But I think it means something to
them, and if Im their rst autograph, then
its an honor for me.
Notes: Jackson returned to full practice
after several days of nursing a sore left
ankle. He expects to play next Monday
against the Cleveland Browns. ... CB
DeAngelo Hall was limited in practice a
day after a tumble left him with a bruised
back and muscle spasms. ... Gruden said
TE Jordan Reed will undergo tests after
missing a third consecutive day of prac-
tice with a virus.

OWINGS MILLS, Md. The San
Francisco 49ers and Baltimore Ravens
decided it would be wise to practice without
pads Monday.
Afterward, both sides agreed it turned out
well.
Following two hard-hitting, physical
days on the practice eld, the 49ers and
Ravens worked out in shorts for around 2
1/2 hours. The drills were crisp and fast-
paced, and no one got hurt.
The teams dressed in full pads on Saturday
and Sunday. Ravens defensive end Kapron
Lewis-Moore tore his Achilles tendon on
Sunday, and several other players were
helped off the eld, including Baltimore
cornerback Asa Jackson, San Francisco
guard Adam Snyder and 49ers wide receiver
Quinton Patton.
We were moving targets, 49ers coach
Jim Harbaugh said.
So it made sense to go
easier Monday.
That was an original
possibility, and became
an obvious choice as we
went through the last two
days, said Ravens coach
John Harbaugh, Jims
older brother. There was
a lot of physical contact,
including the game
Thursday, so it was a
smart move.
After Baltimore beat the
49ers 23-3 on Thursday
night in a preseason
opener, the teams took
Friday off before launch-
ing the rst joint practice
in Ravens history.
Except for the injuries,
it couldnt have gone
much smoother.
It was better than expected, Jim
Harbaugh said. We got better, theres no
question about it.
Asked if he would like to do it again, Jim
Harbaugh replied, Wed like to do it in
February, referring to the month the Super
Bowl is played.
The Harbaugh brothers met in the Super
Bowl in February 2013, and these joint
practices enabled them to spend some time
together that otherwise would not have
occurred. As an added benet, both coaches
got the chance to plot against outside com-
petition and the players got a look at some-
one else besides their teammates.
Youre denitely more tuned in than when
youre playing against your own offense,
Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs said.
Coming in, there was reason to believe
the two teams would engage in ghts. But
that didnt happen.
I think I won the ofce pool, Ravens receiv-
er Steve Smith said. They had over-unders on
my ghts. I had zero, so I got all the cash.
The concept was hatched out of the notion
that both teams would benet, and thats
how it appeared to play out.
It all started with two teams with the
same mindset, and that was to get better, to
improve as a football team, Jim Harbaugh
said. I know we can say that for ourselves,
and Ive heard John say the same thing.
John Harbaugh said, I feel like we got a
week-plus worth of work in. Its not just
because of tempo and attention to detail. Its
the fact that you just see schemes that youre
not going to see. You can practice for months
out here and youre not going to see the things
we see because our team doesnt do those things
on both sides of the ball. Very valuable.
Although the Ravens lost Lewis-Moore,
the 49ers headed home with a relatively
healthy squad.
We dodged bullets, Jim Harbaugh said.
Asked whether they might do this again,
perhaps next year in San Francisco, Jim
answered, We talked about it. Well do it
next year possibly, but we play each other
next year. If not, possibly the year after.

NAPA The Oakland Raiders broke train-
ing camp Monday and prepared to head
south for a pair of joint practices with the
Dallas Cowboys.
Two-time Pro Bowl defensive end Justin
Tuck isnt sure what to expect.
The last time Tuck practiced against
another team during the preseason it was
marred by a brawl on the rst play of the
joint workout. That came in 2005 during
Tucks rookie season with the New York
Giants when they went up against the New
York Jets and wound up in an all-out melee.
Tuck shook his head and smiled at the
memory.
The one time we did it we went over the
top, so Im not sure Ive got the right
answer, Tuck said following the morning
practice. Well nd out tomorrow. I dont
know.
The Raiders held 13 training camp prac-
tices in Napa before closing up shop. The
team has traditionally stayed in camp
through the second preseason game but
altered plans this year to accommodate the
trip to Oxnard.
Oakland and Dallas will practice together
Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday morning.
The Raiders will then y back to the Bay
Area for Fridays preseason game against
the Detroit Lions.
The message is that we have to treat it
like a game and go out there and compete,
Oakland coach Dennis Allen said. There
wont be tackling live to the ground or any-
thing like that. Were going there to com-
pete and try to get better as a football team.
Tuck, the veteran defensive lineman who
signed a $10 million, two-year contract
with the Raiders in March, knows theres a
delicate line teams toe when practicing
against one another.
Arookie back in 2005, Tuck was settling
in for the workout with the Jets when the
fight broke out. There
were two sideline-clear-
ing brawls in all, several
other minor scufes and a
heated argument between
Giants coach Tom
Coughlin and then-Jets
defensive coordinator
Donnie Henderson.
Even with that memo-
ry, Tuck says hes look-
ing forward to practicing against the
Cowboys.
Its good to go and face some people that
dont wear the same color as you and see dif-
ferent schemes, Tuck said. Dallas has a
really good offensive line, so it will be a
good challenge for us.
Allen doesnt sound too concerned about
any potential problems.
I think that will be great for our football
team, get a chance to go against somebody
else for a change, Allen said. Weve got-
ten a lot accomplished. We still have a lot of
things that we have to get better at but I like
the direction were headed.
Darren McFadden is looking forward to
practicing against the Cowboys if for no
other reason than it signals the end of the
teams nearly three-week stay in the heart of
wine country.
Camp is camp, McFadden said. I feel
like we had a decent camp. Theres some
things we still have to go out there and cor-
rect and get better at, but, overall, I feel like
we got better as a team.
Notes: The team held a light workout
before packing up. Rookie quarterback
Derek Carrs deep touchdown throw to Juron
Criner highlighted the practice. McFadden
also had a pair of long runs. ... Fourth-round
pick Keith McGill took reps with the rst-
team nickel in place of cornerback Chimdi
Chekwa. Chekwa has been practicing with
the starters while 2013 rst-round draft pick
D.J. Hayden recovers from offseason foot
surgery.

Quakes send Gordon back to L.A.
CARSON The L.A. Galaxy have reac-
quired veteran forward Alan Gordon from the
San Jose Earthquakes in a trade for alloca-
tion money.
The clubs announced the deal Monday.
Gordon spent six seasons with the
Galaxy after they drafted the Southern
California native in 2004, contributing 16
goals and 12 assists in 80 appearances. He
won the MLS Cup with the Galaxy in 2005
and contributed to two Western Conference
championship teams while becoming a fan
favorite.
The 32-year-old Gordon played for
Toronto FC, Chivas USA and the
Earthquakes over the past half-decade. He
had a career-high 13 goals and seven assists
in 2012 with San Jose.
Gordon is likely to be a reserve in an
offense already featuring Robbie Keane and
Gyasi Zardes up front.

NFL draft pick next year.
Some of the most important spots to l l
will be on defense, where Stanford lost all-
conference players and team leaders in line-
backers Trent Murphy and Shayne Skov,
defensive end Ben Gardner and free safety Ed
Reynolds. Defensive coordinator Derek
Mason also left to become Vanderbilts coach.
Were as proud as anything in those
guys accomplishments and them moving
on, Shaw said. We also take a lot of pride
in saying, We cant have a drop off. We just
cant.
Here are ve things to watch as Stanford
goes for its third straight Pac-12 title:
Replacing Gaff ney: There is no bigger
hole to ll than in Stanfords backeld,
where Tyler Gaffney ran for 1,709 yards and
21 touchdowns as a senior last season.
Seldom-used backups Kelsey Young, Barry
Sanders, Remound Wright and Ricky Seale
are all vying for carries now.
Defensi ve shufe : The front seven has
anchored Stanfords defensive dominance
the past two years. With the departures of
Murphy, Skov and Gardner, among others,
the Cardinal will count more on the second-
ary. Even still, starting cornerbacks Alex
Carter and Wayne Lyons both already
among the Pac-12s best and strong safe-
ty Jordan Richards will still need a pass rush
to develop up front for Stanford to be suc-
cessful.
New- l ook l i ne: While four of Peats fel-
low starters on the offensive line are gone,
their replacements were part of the
acclaimed 2012 recruiting class which
Shaw dubbed one of the best offensive line
classes in modern football history and
have played significant time in the
Cardinals power package. Shaw is sticking
by that statement but said the key will be
how quickly the new group can develop a
strong communication.
Montgomere y s magi c: Montgomery
had a breakout season as a junior, leading
Stanford in receptions (61), yards receiving
(958) and touchdown catches (10). He also
had 1,091 yards and two TDs returning
kicks to earn rst-team All-America honors.
Montgomery had offseason surgery on his
right shoulder, which could keep him out of
the opener against UC Davis on Aug. 30. If
he can stay healthy, he could be one of the
countrys best playmakers.
Lances s hot : Lance Anderson was pro-
moted from outside linebackers coach to
defensive coordinator after Mason moved
on to Vanderbilt. Shaw said he had been
preparing Anderson for the promotion the
past three years. Whether Anderson can get
the most out of his players the way Mason
so often did could have a major impact on
the program this season and beyond.
CARDINAL
By Ralph D. Russo
At St. Pauls Episcopal School in Mobile,
Alabama, the high school that produced
Crimson Tide quarterbacks AJ McCarron and
Jake Coker, theres a new preseason ritual
for football players: the social media talk.
Its about more than minding their man-
ners. Coach Steve Mask warns players not
to post about injuries, which can scare away
recruiters. Committing on Twitter to a
school is also discouraged one recent for-
mer player tweeted commitments to four dif-
ferent schools without informing any
coaches.
He came across as being not reliable,
Mask said. He gets a little joy out of the
attention, but its not worth it.
This season, Mask is taking his players
online personas so seriously that hes
assigning an assistant to monitor their
accounts. As college programs increasingly
use Twitter, Instagram and other social
media accounts to evaluate a players char-
acter, one wrong comment can cost a schol-
arship offer.
That was the case recently at Penn State
for offensive line coach Herb Hand, who
took to Twitter recently to vent his frustra-
tion with a recruit gone bad online.
Dropped another prospect this AM due to
his social media presence ... Actually glad I
got to see the real person before we offered
him, Hand tweeted.
At Penn State media day last week in State
College, Pennsylvania, Hand said that his
wife scolded him for the tone of the tweet.
Cruel, maybe, but fair.
You want to recruit guys with strong
character, he said. Somebody messaged
me, Sometimes kids are worried more about
being a character than having character.
Yes, teens do tweet the darndest things,
but Hand and other coaches say its usually
fairly easy to differentiate between a cringe-
inducing post and one that raises a serious
red ag on a prospect.
Theres a difference though when youre
talking about information that may be
degrading to women, referencing drug use,
and anything that has to do with cyberbul-
lying and stuff like that. Theres certain
things you dont want to be part of your pro-
gram, Hand said.
Hand, who is one of the most active and
engaging college coaches youll nd on
Twitter, is not alone in cutting off a recruit
because of the players use of social media.
Its happened this year and this recruit-
ing class, Duke coach David Cutcliffe said.
Its just insane what some of them thinks
OK. When I know its them and I read it and
I see some of the things out there, if Im on
the road, Ill call a coach let his high
school coach know were no longer inter-
ested. And Ill call back to (Duke director of
football relations) Kent McLeod or the peo-
ple in the ofce and say I want him dropped
off the database. No more mail. Nothing.
NCAA rules regarding contact between
recruits and football coaches have become
more restrictive in recent years. Coaches
cant text recruits and opportunities to meet
face-to-face have decreased. As social media
has become more ubiquitous, it has helped
coaches ll the information gap in recruit-
i ng.
Arkansas coach Bret Bielema said social
media is now part of his standard checklist
for recruits.
Hes got to have a GPA that I can relate
to, an ACT or SATscore or a pre-ACT score,
and the third box is for social media,
Bielema.
I distinctly remember a player last year
who signed, was a big-time kid, had an
interest in us, and his Twitter handle was
something that I cant repeat in here. I just
kind of said, what are we doing here? This is
about as obvious as it gets about what kind
of thing were dealing with here, so we
backed out altogether.
Hand said he tries to educate high school
coaches who might be behind the curve in
online communication. And he often tries
to educate players hes recruiting about how
to avoid social media missteps.
If you talk to a guy and he doesnt adjust
things, thats another red ag for you, he
said. If theyre not going to take coaching
on this, what are they going to do on third-
and-short when you need them to make a
block and they kind of do their own deal?
Bruce Rollinson, who is starting his 26th
season as coach of southern California pow-
erhouse Mater Dei High School, said he
added the social media talk to his routine
about three years ago, borrowing some of
the dos and donts USC gives its athletes.
Dont harass anybody, Rollinson said,
focusing mostly on the donts. Dont
bring up race, religion, sexual orientation
and physical conditions.
South Carolina freshman defensive back
Chris Lammons said he got the message in
high school and cleaned up his Twitter act,
despite what his friends were doing.
In the transition from being a little kid
to a man, thats the thing you have to do,
because when youre growing up, you prob-
ably want to get a big time job somewhere
and they look back at your Twitter account
and they see the things youre putting out,
Lammons said.
Bad behavior on social media can cost recruits

SPORTS 15
By Doug Ferguson
LOUISVILLE, Ky. U.S. captain Tom
Watson said he would be foolish not to
consider Tiger Woods as one of his three
wild-card selections, a decision that ulti-
mately would be based on Woods words
instead of his actions.
Watson has said all year he wanted Woods
on his team if he were healthy and playing
well. Even though Woods is injured and not
playing for the next month, Watson would-
nt rule him out Monday.
I cant assess his medical condition and I
honestly cant assess how hes playing,
Watson said. It really is going to be having
to come from information from Tiger him-
self. But, again, I dont make this comment
loosely. He is Tiger Woods and he brings a
lot to the team if he has the ability to play
and hes healthy. He brings a lot to the team.
And Id be a fool not to consider him.
Nine players qualified for the American
team after the PGAChampionship. Watson
has three weeks before he announces his
three captains picks for the Ryder Cup,
which is Sept. 26-28 at Gleneagles in
Scotland.
Woods season ended when he missed the
cut by five shots at the PGA
Championship, where he said he played
through the pain of a nagging back injury.
He is not playing the Wyndham
Championship this week in North
Carolina, and Woods is not eligible for the
two FedEx Cup playoff events that will
serve as an audition for Watson.
Ill be very, very focused on the players
who are high up in the ranks, Watson said.
As for Woods?
He made it sound as if he would have a
telephone glued to his ear.
I will continue to speak with Tiger over
the next three weeks to
monitor his situation,
Watson said.
Obviously, he has not
been playing well. But I
think its been a result,
as you well know, of his
injury and his coming
back from back surgery.
Woods has gone more
than a year without win-
ning, and this injury-
filled year has been like
no other. He played eight
tournaments and com-
pleted 72 holes only
three times. He missed
two cuts, withdrew from
the final round of two
other tournaments and
missed a 54-hole cut at
Torrey Pines, where he is an eight-time
winner. His best finish was a tie for 25th at
Doral, where Woods played in the next-to-
last group on Sunday and posted his high-
est score ever (78) in the final round.
He finished at No. 70 in the Ryder Cup
standings.
Woods hurt his back again at Firestone,
though he said it was unrelated to his
microdiscectomy surgery in March. He said
a trainer popped a joint back into place and
he was pain free Wednesday at the PGA. He
reported stiffness Thursday and his back
went out on me while warming up for the
second round.
Can he be trusted to be forthcoming with
Watson?
Absolutely, Watson replied sternly,
looking away to make his point.
The 64-year-old captain was asked if Woods
might want to play so badly that he might tell
Watson he is better than he really is.
Again, I trust Tiger to give me the
straight skinny, Watson said. I trust him
inherently.
It was difficult to read Watsons plans for
Woods if any on this Ryder Cup team
because they have never been close. Paul
Azinger, captain of the only U.S. team that
won the Ryder Cup in the last 15 years,
said over the weekend he would not pick
Woods because he was injured, not playing
well and didnt know where the golf ball
was going.
Watson made it sound as if he were lean-
ing more on Woods past than the current
state of his game, not to mention his
health.
He is Tiger Woods. He brings something
to the team in a big way, Watson said. Hes
been really good in the team room of recent
and hes a factor with the players. I know
that for a fact. Hes a very positive inuence
on the players. But the most important
thing is can he play? Can he physically play
and is he playing well? Get back to those
two points. Like I said, Ill monitor that sit-
uation in the next three weeks.
The American team already is missing
Dustin Johnson, who has taken a volun-
tary leave for what he described as per-
sonal challenges. Matt Kuchar withdrew
from the final major of the year with a back
injury. Bubba Watson has finished in the
top 10 only once in the four months since
winning the Masters.
Tom Watson said he was happy with the
nine players who made the team Watson,
Kuchar, Rickie Fowler, Jim Furyk, Jimmy
Walker, Phil Mickelson, Jordan Spieth,
Patrick Reed and Zach Johnson. For his
picks, he said he wants players in good
form and with guts.
We have got players that can get the job
done, he said.

Beckshares lead
at U.S.Amateur
ATLANTA Jimmy Beck and British
teenager Sam Horseld shared the lead at 6-
under-par after the rst round of stroke play
qualifying at the U.S. Amateur
Championship on Monday.
Beck, from Columbus, Georgia, had a 65
on the Atlanta Athletic Clubs par-71
Highlands Course and Horseld shot 66 on
the par-72 Riverside Course.
Lee McCoy of Clarkesville, Georgia, was
one shot back after a 67 on Riverside. Tied
for fth at 4-under were Jonathan Garrick of
Atherton, California, who shot 67 on
Highlands, and Cameron Young of
Scarsborough, New York, who had a 68 on
Riverside.
The eld of 312 players will be cut to 64
after Tuesdays round. The format then
switches to match play on Wednesday, lead-
ing up to the championship on Sunday.
Beck, a senior at Kennesaw State
University, won the 2013 Georgia Amateur
champion and finished second in the
Georgia Open two weeks ago. He got off to
a fast start Monday with birdies at Nos. 2
and 3 and nished with seven birdies and
one bogey.
Ive been playing well coming into this
and just to see putts fall, continue to fall
and just hit it where you want to hit it, its a
good feeling, Beck said. I was just really
trying to have fun and end the summer right

NL GLANCE AL GLANCE
this summer good for nearly 10
runs per game.
Ultimately, however, it is the
team that features strong pitching
and an offense that can beat that
pitching which will eventually be
crowned Little League World
Series champs. It may not be
Pacica American, but it proved it
was among the best in the world
in the summer of 2014.
***
I accept anyones opinion on
guns and hunting. Just dont judge
me for being pro in each of
those cases.
With that said, its not only three
weeks before the start of the foot-
ball season, its also almost time
for the opening of the dove hunting
season. Those who have followed
this space for years, know I gener-
ally take the rst two days off of
September to be in the eld instead
of at the eld covering a game.
This year, I will be heading north-
east instead of my typical southeast
trip to Fresno. This year will be
spent in the desert between Sun
Valley and Sparks, Nevada, at a spot
my brother has used since moving to
the Silver State about a decade ago.
Its not so simple, however, to
pick up a 12-gauge shotgun and
knock down fast, agile birds con-
sistently without any practice.
Normally, thats how it goes for
me. I touch my shotgun one week-
end a year and dont use it again
until the next season.
This past weekend, however, I
got in some shooting time that
will hopefully translate to more
birds. I went to the Reno area to
pick up my daughter, who was vis-
iting grandma for a couple weeks.
Before heading home, however, I
hooked up with my brother for a
shotgun practice session. Using a
hand-held thrower and clay tar-
gets, we both took our shots at 10
rounds of clays.
After two rounds, I had hit 13 out
of 20 targets, which at 65 percent
was one of my better efforts 7 of
10 in the rst round and 6 of 10 the
second time around. I felt even bet-
ter after watching my brother hit
15 out 20, a 75 percent rate.
My pride was put in check, how-
ever, after my brother, who is a
great shot, took me to school. He
hit his rst ve shots. Then
seven. When he got to nine in a
row, the pressure really set in. Ten
in a row. Eleven. Twelve.
Fifteen in a row.
He got to 16 straight hits before
he nally missed. It was quite a
show. I know my brother is ready
for the opening of dove season.
Hopefully I am as well.
And hopefully the birds cooper-
ate by showing up.

The NCAAwants clarication on
two points in a California judges
ruling in the landmark Ed
OBannon case.
The governing body wrote in a
brief to the U.S. District Court on
Monday that schools want to know
which recruits are covered under the
ruling which opened the door to
athletes receiving a small percent-
age of the millions of dollars they
help generate.
Judge Claudia Wilken wrote it
would affect only athletes who enroll
after July 1, 2016, at the beginning
of the next recruiting cycles.
The NCAAcalls the language about
the next recruiting cycle ambigu-
ous. It wants the court to establish
another date, Aug. 1, 2015, when
scholarships can rst be offered in the
2015-16 recruiting cycle.
Under existing NCAArules, stu-
dent-athletes in the next recruiting
cycle (i.e., student-athletes who
would rst enroll in college in Fall
2016) may receive offer letters
from colleges starting on August
1, 2015. Bylaw 13.9.2.2. NCAA
seeks to conrm that the existing
NCAA rules can remain in force
until August 1, 2015, although we
understand the injunction would
not permit the NCAA to adopt or
enforce rules inconsistent with the
injunction on or after that date,
attorneys wrote in the filing,
pointing out that is the rst day
schools can offer scholarships to
players in the 2016-17 recruiting
class.
On a second point, the NCAA
contends, is Wilkens language
regarding the licensing or use of
prospective, current, or former stu-
dent-athletes could be interpreted
to apply to current players.
Attorneys wrote that they want
the clarifications to ensure that
there are no violations of the per-
manent injunction Wilken
imposed, which allows players at
big schools to have money gener-
ated by television contracts put
into a trust fund to pay them when
they leave. Wilken said the body
that governs college athletics
could set a cap on the money paid
to athletes, as long as it allows at
least $5,000 per athlete per year of
competition. Individual schools
could offer less money, she said,
but only if they dont unlawfully
conspire among themselves to set
those amounts.
NCAA President Mark Emmert
said Sunday that the governing
body would appeal at least in
part the ruling.
Winning on appeal could be a
major challenge given the venue in
Oakland, California.
Clarification sought on OBannon ruling
television stars. Their first brush
with the TV cameras came the
morning of teams departure, as
the CBS News crew and sports
anchor Vernon Glenn dispatched
to the local hitting school
Pacifica Cages to conduct an
interview with Steve Falk and
shoot some footage of the team.
Once in San Bernardino, it took
the team just four games to go
national. When the team reached
the West Regional semifinal
round, the players and coaches
were scheduled to show up early
last Thursday at Al Houghton
Stadium to lm introduction seg-
ments for ESPN.
Steve Falk was interviewed at
length by ESPN commentators
Mark Neely and Aaron Boone. And
as he always does in everyman
style, the down-to-earth Steve
Falk kept the experience in per-
spective.
[The players] are the reason Im
there, Steve Falk said. If it was-
nt for them, I wouldnt be able to
do all this. So, I try to keep it
about them. I try to keep it sim-
ple.
Saturday, Mountain Ridge stole
the show, and even thrilled the
crowd by dancing out front of their
third-base dugout before the game.
Its something an ESPN on-eld
producer encouraged Pacifica
American to do prior to Fridays
seminal game, but the players
politely refused.
Ultimately, it was Fridays semi-
nal matchup with Hawaii which
will be remembered as Pacifica
Americans pinnacle achievement
in San Bernardino. In winning the
rst 1-0 game in West Regional
play since 2007, starting pitcher
Ricks and the smooth play of his
defense debuted in the television
limelight of ESPN2.
That Hawaii game, Ill remem-
ber that forever, Steve Falk said.
And one of the rst things he did
upon returning home? Steve Falk

NEW YORK Lauren Davies had a des-
perate thought while stuck in trafc as she
frantically drove upstate to reach her 19-
year-old.
If I drive on the shoulder and a cop stops
me, will he believe me when I tell him I
think my daughters dying in a hospital?
The sophomore had fallen so ill from an
out-of-control sinus infection that she was
in a feverish stupor, unable to open her
mouth, her face so swollen that a membrane
was pressing on her brain after two rounds
of antibiotics that didnt work.
Davies, from Garden City, had another
thought about scooping up her young adult:
In my mind I just wanted her home. Thats
where she was going to be.
What could go wrong did go wrong for
Leah Davies in 2011. Having turned 18, a
legal adult when it comes to care providers
sharing health information with parents,
mom and dad were forced to the sidelines as
doctors at home tried to convince the hos-
pital in Syracuse to be more aggressive.
Heading off to school is stressful for
young people on a variety of fronts. Among
the biggest challenges is managing their
own health far from home. And it can be a
trial for parents, too, in this, the era of the
helicopter when it comes to raising chil-
dren.
Leah, now 22, took a semester off after
her health ordeal.
Lisa Salberg in northern New Jersey is no
helicopter, yet her 18-year-old ended up
leaving school after the rst semester of her
freshman year at a Connecticut university.
The nurse practitioners at the campus
health center took to shooing Becca off to
the emergency room last year for the slight-
est snife because of a debrillator implant-
ed in her chest for a genetic condition that
can lead to sudden cardiac arrest. Shes had
the device since she was 10.
Both mothers said they had prepared their
girls to speak up, handle health cards and
ll out medical forms.
She knew how to advocate for herself,
but nobody was listening to her, said
Salberg, who founded the nonprofit
Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy
Association, named for the disease both she
and her daughter have.
One nurse practitioner looked her in the
eye and said, I dont know what to do with
you. Your heart scares me. They kept
telling her to go (to) the ER for nothing.
Talk about instilling a lack of condence.
Thats exactly what happened, Salberg
said.
Becca, 19, is now happy living at home
and attending school nearby.
Amanda Mroczek, 22, was diagnosed with
cancer at 13. She nished treatment for
Hodgkins lymphoma in 2006 but relapsed
at 16, nishing treatment again in 2009.
She went off to a Michigan university on
two maintenance drugs and her scans have
been clear since.
I became a bit of a hypochondriac within
the rst couple of years in college, fearing
another relapse, she said. It became really
difcult to sometimes make sure I took my
meds on time. You get distracted. You forget

and the next day you realize, Oh shoot, I
didnt take them, said Mroczek, who still
lives in Ann Arbor, where she went to under-
graduate school, as she awaits word on her
medical school applications.
Womens health nurse practitioner
Barbara Dehn in Los Altos, California, has
a busy practice with lots of teen girls. She
has seen it all in 25 years and will soon send
her 18-year-old son to college.
Med schedules are a recurring issue after
campus drop-off, she said.
A lot of kids I see have ADHD, anxiety
disorders, OCD. Sometimes, with the stress
of living away from home, they stop their
meds, have more depression, more anxi-
ety, Dehn said.
Some tips from Dehn:
Even if parents are providing full nan-
cial support they have no rights to academ-
ic or health information unless their child is
gravely ill. Ask for a health care proxy, a
health care durable power of attorney and-or
an advance health care directive form if you
want to be part of the process. Your over-18
child must agree.
Oftentimes you dont need carte
blanche, Dehn said. In other words, you
dont want to know about sexually transmit-
ted infections, but you do want to know
things in the event of a car accident or a bro-
ken bone.
Visit the campus health center with your
teen. Bring back a brochure and tape it to
the back of the main door for easy access to
telephone numbers, hours of service and
emergency procedures. Go to the nearest
off-campus pharmacy and urgent care facili-
ty so he knows how to ll prescriptions and
where to go just in case.

SLEEP APNEA
& Snoring
Treatment
Dental mouth guard treatsSleep Apnea and snoring
was a $76 per parcel per year levied for four
years, totaling about $589,000 a year.
Voters in the district approved Measure B, a
10-year $180 per year parcel tax, in March
2010. A study by Godbe Research shows
voters are mostly in support of such a
measure, with more than 70 percent of
those surveyed saying theyd vote yes.
We take nothing for granted, but we
have worked closely with the community
and really thought about our needs, said
Trustee Davina Drabkin. Our community
continues to be very supportive of our
schools.
Other important reasons for the parcel
tax, Drabkin said, include making sure the
district retains highly qualied teachers,
maintains libraries and keeps class sizes
small.
Its very important we keep it (the taxes)
going, Drabkin said. We offer exception-
al academic programs and were over the
state average for testing.
The taxes are simply an extension of cur-
rent local funding and arent new taxes alto-
gether, Drabkin emphasized. With instabil-
ity from state funding, its important to
keep local streams of funding coming into
the district, she added.
Our schools depend on this voter-
approved funding to provide stable, reli-
able funds to preserve the quality education
that our community expects, she said.
Funding from the state has typically been
unstable.
Godbe Researchs study was conducted
from March 19-26 asking 320 people rep-
resenting 16,366 registered likely
November 2014 voters in the district about
their thoughts on a parcel tax renewal
measure. Interviews lasted about 18 min-
utes. It was designed to identify the dura-
tion at which voters will support the meas-
ure; prioritize projects and programs to be
funded with the proceeds; and test the inu-
ence of supporting and opposing argu-
ments on potential voter support. The error
rate is plus or minus 5.4 percent for the
sample.
Voters sampled seemed to be more in
favor of a measure that included the specic
amount of the parcel tax versus language
that didnt include the exact amount, with
42.6 percent saying denitely yes under the
specic language and 38.8 percent saying
probably yes with the vague language.
The measure requires a two-thirds majori-
ty to pass.

genie in Aladdin. He won his Academy
Award in a rare dramatic role, as an empathet-
ic therapist in the 1997 lm Good Will
Hunting.
He was no less on re in interviews. During
a 1989 chat with The Associated Press, he
could barely stay seated in his hotel room, or
even mention the lm he was supposed to
promote, as he free-associated about comedy
and the cosmos.
Theres an Ice Age coming, he said. But
the good news is therell be daiquiris for
everyone and the Ice Capades will be every-
where. The lobster will keep for at least 100
years, thats the good news. The Swanson
dinners will last a whole millennium. The bad
news is the house will basically be in
Arkansas.
As word of his death spread, tributes from
inside and outside the entertainment industry
poured in.
Robin Williams was an airman, a doctor, a
genie, a nanny, a president, a professor, a
bangarang Peter Pan, and everything in
between. But he was one of a kind. He arrived
in our lives as an alien - but he ended up touch-
ing every element of the human spirit. He
made us laugh. He made us cry. He gave his
immeasurable talent freely and generously to
those who needed it most - from our troops
stationed abroad to the marginalized on our
own streets, President Barack Obama said in
a statement.
Following Williams on stage, Billy
Crystal once observed, was like trying to top
the Civil War. In a 1993 interview with the
AP, Williams recalled an appearance early in
his career on The Tonight Show Starring
Johnny Carson. Bob Hope was also there.
It was interesting, Williams said. He
was supposed to go on before me and I was
supposed to follow him, and I had to go on
before him because he was late. I dont think
that made him happy. I dont think he was
angry, but I dont think he was pleased.
I had been on the road and I came out, you
know, gassed, and I killed and had a great
time. Hope comes out and Johnny leans over
and says, Robin Williams, isnt he funny?
Hope says, Yeah, hes wild. But you know,
Johnny, its great to be back here with you.
In 1992, Carson chose Williams and Bette
Midler as his nal guests.
Like so many funnymen, Williams had dra-
matic ambitions. He played for tears in
Awakenings, Dead Poets Society and
What Dreams May Come, which led New
York Times critic Stephen Holden to write
that he dreaded seeing the actors Humpty
Dumpty grin and crinkly moist eyes.
But other critics approved, and Williams
won three Golden Globes, for Good
Morning, Vietnam, Mrs. Doubtre and
The Fisher King.
His other lm credits included Robert
Altmans Popeye (a box ofce bomb), Paul
Mazurskys Moscow on the Hudson,
Steven Spielbergs Hook and Woody
Allens Deconstructing Harry. On stage,
Williams joined fellow comedian Steve
Martin in a 1988 Broadway revival of
Waiting for Godot.
Robin was a lightning storm of comic
genius and our laughter was the thunder that
sustained him. He was a pal and I cant
believe hes gone, Spielberg said.
More recently, he appeared in the Night at
the Museum movies, playing President
Theodore Roosevelt in the comedies in which
Ben Stillers security guard has to contend
with wax gures that come alive and wreak
havoc after a museum closes. The third lm in
the series is in post-production, according to
the Internet Movie Database.
In April, Fox 2000 said it was developing a
sequel to Mrs. Doubtre and Williams was
in talks to join the production.
Williams also made a short-lived return to
TV last fall in CBS The Crazy Ones, a sit-
com about a father-daughter ad agency team
that co-starred Sarah Michelle Gellar. It was
canceled after one season.
I dread the word art, Williams said in
1989 when discussing his craft with the AP.
Thats what we used to do every night before
wed go on with Waiting for Godot.Wed go,
No art. Art dies tonight. Wed try to give it a
life, instead of making Godot so serious.
Its cosmic vaudeville staged by the Marquis
de Sade.
His personal life was often short on laugh-
ter. He had acknowledged drug and alcohol
problems in the 1970s and 80s and was
among the last to see John Belushi before the
Saturday Night Live star died of a drug over-
dose in 1982. Williams announced in 2006
that he was drinking again but rebounded well
enough to joke about it during his recent tour.
I went to rehab in wine country, he said, to
keep my options open. The following year,
he told the AP that people were surprised he
was no longer clean.
I fell off the wagon after 20 years and peo-
ple are like, Really? Well, yeah. It only
kicks in when you really want to change, he
said.
Born in Chicago in 1951, Williams would
remember himself as a shy kid who got some
early laughs from his mother by mimick-
ing his grandmother. He opened up more in
high school when he joined the drama club,
and he was accepted into the Juilliard
Academy, where he had several classes in
which he and Christopher Reeve were the
only students and John Houseman was the
teacher.

MONROVIA, Liberia Liberia announced
Monday that it would soon receive doses of
an experimental Ebola drug and give it to two
sick doctors, making them the rst Africans
to receive some of the scarce treatment in a
spiraling outbreak.
The U.S. government conrmed that it had
put Liberian ofcials in touch with the maker
of ZMapp, and referred additional questions
to Mapp Biopharmaceutical Inc. In a state-
ment, the California-based company said
that in responding to a request from an
unidentied West African country, it had run
out of its supply of the treatment.
The news comes as anger is growing over
the fact that the only people to receive the
experimental treatment so far have been
Westerners: two Americans and a Spaniard,
all of whom were evacuated to their home
countries from Liberia.
Late Monday, the World Health
Organization said 1,013 people had died in
the Ebola outbreak in West Africa.
Authorities have recorded 1,848 suspected,
probable or conrmed cases of the disease,
the U.N. health agency said. The updated
WHO tally includes gures from Aug. 7-9
when 52 more people died and 69 more were
infected.
There is no Ebola vaccine or treatment
available, but there are several in develop-
ment besides ZMapp. That treatment is so
new that it hasnt been tested for safety or
effectiveness in humans. And the company
has said it would take months to produce
even modest quantities.
It was unclear how much of the treatment
would be sent to Liberia.
The U.S. Government assisted in con-
necting the Government of Liberia with the
manufacturer, the U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services said in a state-
ment. Since the drug was shipped for use
outside the U.S., appropriate export proce-
dures had to be followed.
The Liberian statement, posted on the
presidencys website, said it was also receiv-
ing an experimental treatment from the
World Health Organization. It was unclear if
this was also referring to ZMapp or another
treatment.
In the past few weeks, the experimental
drug was given to two American aid workers
diagnosed with the disease while working at
a hospital that treated Ebola patients. On
Monday, ofcials in Spain disclosed that the
treatment was also given to a Spanish mis-
sionary priest who fell ill while working in
Liberia.
The Americans are said to be improving,
but theres no way to know whether the drug
helped, or if they are getting better on their
own, as others have. Around 40 percent of
those infected with Ebola are surviving the
current outbreak.
But some called for the untested drug to be
given to Africans, too. The outbreak was rst
identied in March in Guinea, but it likely
started months earlier. It has since spread to
neighboring Liberia and Sierra Leone, and
possibly to Nigeria.
Theres no reason to try this medicine on
sick white people and to ignore blacks, said
Marcel Guilavogui, a pharmacist in
Conakry, Guinea. We understand that its a
drug thats being tested for the rst time and
could have negative side effects. But we have
to try it in blacks too.
Some are using Twitter to demand that the
drug be made available.
We cant afford to be passive while many
more die, said Aisha Dabo, a Senegalese-
Gambian journalist who was tweeting using
the hashtag GiveUsTheSerumon Monday.
Thats why we raise our voice for the world
to hear us.
The ethical dilemmas involved prompted
the U.N. health agency to consult Monday
with ethicists, infectious disease experts,
patient representatives and the Doctors
Without Borders group. Most participants in
the closed teleconference were from devel-
oped countries, but Uganda and Senegal were
represented. The World Health Organization
said it would discuss the results of the meet-
ing at a press conference on Tuesday.
Companies can provide experimental
drugs on a compassionate use basis, usual-
ly after they have been fully tested in
humans. The Food and Drug Administration
approves such uses in the U.S., but has no
authority overseas. Ultimately, the compa-
nies alone decide whether or not to share
their products.
Spains Health Ministry said it obtained
ZMapp this weekend with company permis-
sion to treat Miguel Pajares, a 75-year-old
priest evacuated from Liberia and placed in
isolation Thursday at Madrids Carlos III
Hospital.

quarantine station for patients with infectious diseases in Berlin, Germany.
WHY ITS SCARY
There is no cure for Ebola hemorrhagic fever.
More than half of people infected in this outbreak
have died. Death rates in some past outbreaks
reached 90 percent.
Its a cruel end that comes within days. Patients
grow feverish and weak, suffering through body
aches, vomiting, diarrhea and internal bleeding,
sometimes bleeding from the nose and ears.
The damage can spiral far beyond the patients
themselves.
Because its spread through direct contact with
the bodily uids of sick patients, Ebola takes an
especially harsh toll on doctors and nurses,already
in short supply in areas of Africa hit by the disease.
Outbreaks spark fear and panic.
Health workers and clinics have come under attack
from residents, who sometimes blame foreign
doctors for the deaths.People with from Ebola or
other illnesses may fear going to a hospital,or may
be shunned by friends and neighbors.
Two of the worst-hit countries Liberia and Sierra
Leone sent troops to quarantine areas with
Ebola cases. The aim was to stop the diseases
spread but the action also created hardship for
many residents.
WHERE IT IS
The outbreak began in Guinea in March before
spreading to neighboring Sierra Leone and Liberia.
A traveler recently carried it farther, to Nigeria,
leading to a few cases in the giant city of Lagos.
Ebola emerged in 1976. It has been conrmed in
10 African nations,but never before in the region
of West Africa.
Lack of experience with the disease there has
contributed to its spread. So has a shortage of
medical personnel and supplies, widespread
poverty, and political instability.
Sierra Leone still is recovering from a decade of
civil war in which children were forced into ghting.
Liberia, originally founded by freed American
slaves,also endured civil war in the 1990s.Guinea
is trying to establish a young and fragile
democracy.
Nigeria, Africas most populous country, boasts
great oil wealth but most of its people are poor.
The government is battling Islamic militants in the
north who have killed thousands of people and
kidnapped more than 200 schoolgirls in April.
This outbreak has proved more difcult to control
than previous ones because the disease is crossing
national borders, and is spreading in more urban
areas.
Tom Frieden,director of the U.S.Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention,predicts that within a few
weeks, Ebola will sicken more people than all
previous occurrences combined. Already more
than 1,700 cases have been reported.
Global health ofcials say it will take months to
fully contain the outbreak, even if all goes as well
as can be hoped.
REASONS NOT TO BE AFRAID
Ebola is devastating for those it affects. But most
people dont need to fear it.Why?
Ebola doesnt spread easily,the way a cold virus
or the u does. It is only spread by direct contact
with bodily uids such as blood,saliva,sweat and
urine.Family members have contracted it by caring
for their relatives or handling an infected body as
part of burial practices. People arent contagious
until they show symptoms,Frieden said.Symptoms
may not appear until 21 days after exposure.
People should not be afraid of casual exposure
on a subway or an airplane,said Dr.Robert Black,
professor of international health at Johns Hopkins
University.
Health ofcials around the developed world
know how to stop Ebola.Frieden described tried-
and-true measures: nd and isolate all possible
patients, track down people they may have
exposed, and ensure strict infection-control
procedures while caring for patients. Every past
outbreak of Ebola has been brought under control.
The CDC is sending at least 50 staff members to
West Africa to help ght the disease, while more
than 200 work on the problem from the agencys
headquarters in Atlanta.The WHO is urging nations
worldwide to send money and resources to help.
Its true that Ebola could be carried into the
United States by a traveler,possibly putting family
members or health care workers at risk.Its never
happened before. But if the disease does show
up in the U.S., Frieden said, doctors and hospitals
know how to contain it quickly.
We are condent that a large Ebola outbreak in
the United States will not occur, Frieden told a
congressional hearing Thursday.
OTHER THINGS TO WORRY ABOUT
Ebolas toll is minuscule compared with other
diseases that killing millions of people.
The difference is the diseases that do kill a lot of
people malaria, diarrhea, pneumonia they
cause their problems over time, Black said.
Theyre not generally epidemic.Theyre not the
kind of sudden burst of disease and death that
creates fear like this.
The common diseases have far lower mortality
rates.They kill so many people because such huge
numbers are infected.
In comparison, Ebola is manageable.
The order of magnitude of the resources to
control Ebola in small communities in three or four
countries is very small compared to controlling
malaria in all of Asia and Africa,Black said.I dont
at all think we should hold back on the resources
to control Ebola, but we need more resources to
control these major killers of children and adults
that were making too little effort against.
Ebola may be scary, but most shouldnt be afraid

he got DNFs, or did not nishes, but
on the third attempt got a time that
nabbed him second place in that com-
petition that includes competitors
from age 2 to 90. There were 19 events
overall in different cube sizes, one-
handed competitions and solving mul-
tiple cubes at once. U.S. Nationals
2014 was the second largest Rubiks
Cube competition of all time, with
497 competitors. The largest was the
World Championships of last year,
with 580.
There are hundreds of types of Rubik
cubes, ranging from 7x7x7 to the
Square-1 cube that changes shape as it
is twisted because of the way its cut.
The Square-1 is by far the most difcult
for Woo to solve. The 7x7x7 takes the
longest for him to solve. With a little
practice, anyone can solve a Rubik
Cube, he said.
The biggest skill you use is
patience, he said. Everyone, when
they see it, they think its way too
hard to solve, but you could learn it in
less than a week, even two days if you
dedicate the time to it. Its hard work
and willingness to accept theres no
secret.
Woo, who is the founder and presi-
dent of Burlingame Highs Rubik Cube
club, has taught others to solve puz-
zles during club hours. He also started
Bay Area Speedcubin, which has held
three competitions and he plans to
hold another this fall in Sunnyvale.
One day, Woo hopes to compete in a
memory competition.

Were pleased to see that another
obstacle has been lifted and its certain-
ly good news for the Caltrain electri-
cation project because it allows us to
continue on our path. Half of the fund-
ing for electrication is coming from
[HSR], so this was a very important
case that we had been watching very
closely, Ackemann said.
The Caltrain Modernization Project
will also allow it to successfully adapt
to the prediction that its current 1.3
million monthly ridership will double
in 30 years. The $1.5 billion project
includes electrifying 51 miles of track,
purchasing new trains and a new GPS-
based control system. The project
would save money on fuel, allow one
more train in each direction per hour,
add another car to the electried trains
and be benecial to the environment.
Its goal is to be 75 percent electried by
2020 and fully by 2040, according to
Caltrain ofcials.
Its unknown exactly when the
authority will be able to sell its $10 bil-
lion in voter-approved bonds, but
Caltrain needs nancing to proceed
with its design phase that is just 35 per-
cent complete, Ackemann said.
It all depends on when the state
decides to go forward with the issuing
of bonds, Ackemann said. There are a
couple of gates the money has to pass
through. First it has to be collected
through bond sales and once thats done
wed have to make a formal request.
Because were at a point in the project
where we need additional funding.
The courts ruling will also contribute
to freeing up funds from its other con-
tributors such as the federal govern-
ment and a regional nine-party funding
agreement that includes cities and coun-
ties of San Francisco, San Mateo and
Santa Clara, Ackemann said.
Currently, Caltrain is in the process
of compiling community-generated
input into its EIR, which encompasses
worst-case scenarios and is expected to
be nalized at the end of the year or
early 2015, Ackemann said.
Theres still work that needs to be
completed on our end before we can
move forward anyway. The next big
milestone for us will be a request-for-
bid process where well select a design
building contractor who will then take
the project through the next phase,
Ackemann said.
Released in late February, the draft
EIR outlined Caltrain potentially need-
ing to purchase or arrange an easement
for 1.5 acres for substations in South
San Francisco and San Jose and up to 18
acres throughout constrained areas
along the 51 miles of electried tracks.
The increased number of trains on the
tracks is predicted to increase gate
downtime at certain locations and
require the loud diesel freight trains to
run primarily in the evening, according
to the report.
The draft EIR also outlines removing
up to 2,200 trees and pruning another
3,600.
Public comment focused heavily on
Caltrain potentially infringing on pri-
vate property owners and removing
trees, concerns which Caltrain expect-
ed, Ackemann said.
The EIR will clear us for everything
up to the worst-case scenario. But the
goal will be to design the project that is
reective of the communitys concerns
at each step along the way. As we move
the process along well be continuing
to get community outreach, Ackemann
said. The goal is to design a project
that is most favorable to each of the
communities we operate to, and most
efciently as well obviously.
With changes to the tracks and new
trains in the works, some members of
the public continue to express the
desire for an increased ability to bring
bicycles on Caltrain. Ackemann said
Caltrain will hold community work-
shops starting in September and
October to gain input on the design of
the new electried trains and, although
only 11 percent of its total ridership are
bicyclists, they will be considered.
Along with the modernization proj-
ect being boosted by the courts recent
high-speed rail ruling, Caltrains Board
of Directors unanimously approved its
$43.6 million capital budget to address
infrastructure needs. The board
approved its $125.7 million operating
budget in June, but the capital budget
was delayed while Caltrain awaited word
on the availability of federal funding
for major projects, according to
Caltrain.
The capital budget includes the
replacement of four San Mateo bridges,
design and completion of station modi-
cations to allow for the new six-car
trains and coordination planning and
management for electrication, accord-
ing to Caltrain.
