Final candidates qualify for coming election


San Mateo County races and ballot measures set for November polling
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

San Mateo County voters, let the countdown to Nov. 8 begin.


The list of candidates in the upcoming
election was solidified Wednesday after several incumbents opted not to seek re-election, which extended the deadline for a
handful of races to this week.
Positions included terms on the Half

Moon Bay City Council, the South San


Francisco Unified School District, the
Peninsula Health Care District and four
seats on the tumultuous San Mateo County
Harbor District Board of Commissioners.
Former Half Moon Bay mayors Marina
Fraser, who was first elected in 2003, and
Farmer John Muller, who was appointed
in 2006, both opted not to seek re-election.
The two seats are now sought by Adam
Eisen, a business executive; Carol Joyce,

an attorney and legal consultant; Harvey


Rarback, director of the Coastside Fire
Protection District Board who briefly ran
for City Council two years ago before dropping out; and Michael Thompson, an
administrator with the Sea Crest School,
according to filing records with the San
Mateo County Elections Office and the Half
Moon Bay city clerk.
Four seats are open on the five-member
San Mateo County Harbor District, with

three incumbents seeking four-year terms


and a two-year term open for a newcomer.
Current Commissioner Pietro Parravano
is not seeking re-election, while appointedincumbent Virginia Chang Kiraly is not
seeking to finish out the two-year term
vacated by former commissioner Nicole
David. Instead, Kiraly, along with incumbents Sabrina Brennan and Tom Mattusch,

Affordable

effort fails
Gov. Browns $400 million plan to speed
development of low-income units stalls

The San Francisco Bay Area posted its weakest July in five years with 7,901 homes sold, a decline of 10.5 percent from June
and 13.5 percent from a year ago.

Home sales fall in July amid tight supplies


California Association of Realtors believe conditions will continue in the short term
By Elliot Spagat
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN DIEGO California home


sales cooled in July, a research firm
said Thursday, amid tight supplies and
prices that were out of reach for many
potential buyers.
There were 41,653 new and existing
houses and condominiums sold in the
state, down 11 percent from June and
10.3 percent from the same period a
year ago, CoreLogic Inc. said. The
annual decline is partly because this
year had two fewer business days in

July than last year, but it also reflects a


much slower market than last summers.
The median sales price was
$432, 000, little changed from
$435,000 in June and up 4.1 percent
from $415,000 a year earlier. It marked
the 53rd straight month that prices
have risen from a year earlier, though
increases have moderated in the last
two years.
The median price is still well below
its peak of $487,000 in May 2007.
The California Association of
Realtors blamed low inventory and

affordability constraints for the sluggish July, conditions that it expects


will continue in the short term. The
trade group said there was a 3.6-month
supply of unsold single-family homes
in the state last month, well below
what is considered a normal market of
five to seven months.
The San Francisco Bay Area posted
its weakest July in five years with
7,901 homes sold, a decline of 10.5

Assembly speaker conceded defeat
Thursday on negotiations over a plan to
inject $400 million into affordable

Gov. Jerry Brown this spring.
The funding was contingent on lawmakers approving
Browns controversial by right housing proposal to
speed approval for developments that include affordable

consider housing fees
Commercial linkage fees to benefit affordability
By Samantha Weigel

As communities consider creative ways to generate funds


for affordable housing goals, San Mateo and Foster City are
preparing to have commercial developers chip in.
Both city councils met Monday night to consider rules
requiring those who construct new hotels, office, retail or
restaurant space to pay linkage fees intended to offset their
impact on the communitys low-income housing needs.

A San Francisco jury found a San Mateo

shooting in a South of Market parking lot
that occurred during a dispute over a traffic
collision.

attempted murder, assault and weapons
charges in connection with the Nov. 17,

shoulders.
The shooting occurred in a parking lot

School district adopts election shift


After lawsuit threat, Sequoia Union High
School District moves from at-large system
By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Trustees in the Sequoia Union High


School District will be elected according to
the community where they live, under a
shift unanimously approved by officials to
avoid threat of a potential lawsuit.
The district Board of Trustees agreed during a meeting Wednesday, Aug. 17, to transition from its existing at-large system to
by-district elections, in an attempt safeguard against a perceived violation of state
elections law.
The move comes months after the
Mexican American Legal Educational
Foundation, or MALDEF, warned it would
sue to force the transition due to concerns
raised by East Palo Alto and Redwood City
residents regarding a lack of representation
of their community on the all-white board.
Trustee Carrie Du Bois said she believed
the move was necessary to serve the best
interests of all district residents and students.
It is important to have minority representation, so I think this is a good move
for the district to move to district elections, she said.
MALDEF contended in a letter sent to the
district that the racial makeup of the current
board did not accurately reflect the diversity of the community it serves, amounting
to a violation of state elections law which
the foundation intended to prove in court
unless officials took the initiative to
change the election system.
Approximately 30 percent of the residents served by the district are Latino,
according to 2010 census data, but all
members of the current board are white.
Two unrelated Latina trustees, Laura and
Olivia Martinez, have served the board
over the past decade, but Trustee Georgia
Jack replaced Laura Martinez in the fall
election.
During the meeting, a variety of local
residents spoke in favor of the shift before
the board took action.
We encourage you to go to district elections so we have a voice, said Duane Goff,
of East Palo Alto.
District officials acknowledged it is
often difficult and expensive for elected
bodies attempting to defend the right to
maintain an at-large system, and some
indicated they had no choice but to make
the change.
I dont really think there is really an

alternative to moving forward with this,
and moving forward with it in a timely
manner, said board President Alan Sarver.
Looking ahead, officials will work with
consultants to design a variety of maps
subdividing the communities and cities
served by the school system into districts.
The preferred alignment will ultimately
serve as boundaries defining where potential trustees must live to run for election,
and may only garner support from residents
living in their district.
The transition introduces a variety of
uncertainties for officials, some of which
were addressed during the meeting, such as
the potential to move from a five-member
board to seven trustees.
Further muddying the waters ahead is the
district likely aligning its elections on
even years with the state calendar, required
under a new law designed to enhance voter
turnout, said Sarver.
Sarver said receiving feedback and input
from residents as officials proceed will be
integral to ensuring the election changes
are adequately addressed.
We have a huge amount of community
engagement ahead of us, he said.
Officials agreed they would need to begin
laying the groundwork for adopting new
election districts as soon as possible, with
the hopes of completing the process by
next May. The board is expected to address
subsequent steps during its next meeting.
Under the move, the district is set to join
135 other school systems across the state
in moving to by-district elections. While
the San Mateo County Community College
District and South San Francisco Unified
School District have considered the change
as well, no other local districts have made
the move away from the at-large system.
The San Mateo County Board of
Supervisors moved to by-district elections
under threat of lawsuit as well.
Ultimately, as the district faces balancing a variety of competing interests amidst
the upcoming shift, Sarver suggested officials work to maintain an open mind to
consider a variety of perspectives.
There is an awful lot that goes up in the
air, and we need to be looking at it holistically, he said.

Evacuated residents in limbo


as wildfire burns in California
By Christopher Weber
and Christine Armario
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN BERNARDINO Twisted metal


gates and rusted mailboxes remained where
houses once stood. Flames had turned a lot
full of cars including some vintage models into a junkyard of hollowed-out
shells. Countless trees were scorched or
gone.
Scenes of destruction were everywhere
Thursday after a huge wildfire sped through
mountains and high desert 60 miles east of
Los Angeles so swiftly that it took seasoned
firefighters off guard.
But the day also brought the biggest gains
yet against the blaze, with containment
jumping from 22 percent, up from just 4 percent when the day began. The fire has burned
56 square miles.
An aerial flyover revealed significant
property loss, but crews were just beginning to comb through the rubble to document the devastation.
Most of the areas where there was structural damage, theyre still smoldering,
U. S. Forest Service spokesman Jake
Rodriguez said.
Many residents remained in limbo, unable
to go home and wondering whether anything would be left when they can.

I want it to be over, but more than anything I just want to know, Is my house still
there? Lisa Gregory said as she sat in a
lawn chair under a tree at an evacuation center.
At its height, more than 34,000 homes
and about 82,000 residents were under evacuation warnings.
While the east side of the fire near the
desert was brought partly under control and
some evacuees on that side were allowed to
return home, the west sides hillsides were
still showing heavy flames and thick
smoke.
Meanwhile, a new fire broke out in rural
Santa Barbara County, quickly surging to
about 500 acres and prompting the evacuation of a pair of campgrounds.
Another blaze near Lake Isabella in Kern
and Tulare counties in the center of the state
had burned more than two square miles.
During five years of drought, Californias
wildlands have seen a continuous streak of
destructive and sometimes deadly fires. No
deaths have been reported in the latest fire,
but crews assessing property damage were
using cadaver dogs during searches.
The dry vegetation is like firewood, said

Baton Rouges summer of pain:


Shootings, unrest, now floods
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BATON ROUGE, La. Anger.


Sorrow. Vengeful glee. Guilt. Terrence
Carter has experienced it all during
Baton Rouges summer of pain. And on
Thursday, as he walked through the
dirty water on the floor of his home,
Carter said he was experiencing, of all
things, hope.
A couple of weeks ago, it seems
like everybody was pulling apart. Now
its no black and white thing.
Everybodys just got to help everybody to come out of this, Carter said.
Baton Rouge, the unassuming
Louisiana capital city that is often
overshadowed by jazz-loving, hardpartying New Orleans, has endured a
string of tragedies this summer: the
July 7 shooting death of a black man
at the hands of two white police officers, the July 17 ambush killings of
three officers by a black man, and
now, the rains that have triggered

We had so much division and hate in this city,


but its kind of a cleansing and a washing and God
letting us know that all the things that we are fighting over
and that are dividing us, that hes in control of everything.

catastrophic flooding.
And yet, amid this latest crisis,
Carter and others have seen people
pull together white and black, officers and civilians in ways that give
them hope.
We had so much division and hate in
this city, but its kind of a cleansing
and a washing and God letting us know
that all the things that we are fighting
over and that are dividing us, that hes
in control of everything, Cleve Dunn
Jr., a businessman and leader in the
black community.
The waters are largely receding
across southern Louisiana. At least 13

people have died, and authorities are


going door to door looking for more.
Over 85,000 people have registered
for federal disaster assistance, more
than 30,000 have been rescued, and an
estimated 40,000 homes have been
damaged.
Carter, who is black, knew Alton
Sterling, the black man who was killed
outside a Baton Rouge convenience
store after a struggle on the pavement.
Angered by Sterlings death, the softspoken Carter protested at police headquarters. He confesses he was happy
when he first heard about the deadly
assault on the officers.

Twitter: We suspended
360K accounts over violent extremism
NEW YORK Twitter said Thursday it has suspended
360,000 accounts since mid-2015 for violating its policies
banning the promotion of terrorism and violent extremism.
The San Francisco-based company said in a blog post
that it has also made progress in preventing users who were
suspended from immediately returning to the platform using
different accounts, which has been a problem in the past.
It said its rate of daily suspensions is up 80 percent since
last year, though it did not provide specific numbers. The
suspensions spike immediately following terrorist attacks,
it said.
Twitter noted that there is no magic formula for identifying extremist accounts. Like other social media companies,
it uses a variety of tools, including spam-fighting technology, automatic identification as well as reports from users,
to help combat abuse.
The report on its efforts come after Twitter has been criticized for not doing enough to keep extremist groups like
Islamic State from using the short-messaging service to
crowdsource supporters and potential attackers.

Donald Trump speaks at a campaign rally in Charlotte, N.C.

Trump: I regret comments


that may have caused pain
By Jill Colvin and Steve Peoples
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHARLOTTE, N.C. For the first time


since declaring his presidential run,
Republican Donald Trump acknowledged
that his caustic comments may have caused
people pain, saying that he regrets some of
what hes said in the heat of debate.
A day after announcing a campaign shakeup and as he trails in the polls, the GOP
nominee said that he recognized that his
comments which have angered minorities and alienated large swaths of the general election electorate may have been illadvised.
Sometimes in the heat of debate and
speaking on a multitude of issues, you dont
choose the right words or you say the wrong
thing. I have done that, the GOP nominee,
reading from prepared text, said at a rally in
Charlotte, N.C. And believe it or not, I
regret it and I do regret it particularly
where it may have caused personal pain.
He added that, Too much is at stake for us
to be consumed with these issues. As the
crowd cheered, Trump pledged to always
tell you the truth.
The remarks came as Trump was trying to
rescue a campaign that has struggled since
the Democratic and Republican nominating
conventions from a series of self-created
distractions. Early Wednesday, Trump
announced that he was overhauling his

operation, bringing in a new chief executive and appointing a new campaign manager.
Rarely do presidential campaigns wait to
advertise, or undergo such leadership
tumult, at such a late stage of the general
election.
Yet Trump has struggled badly in recent
weeks to offer voters a consistent message,
overshadowing formal policy speeches with
a steady stream of self-created controversies, including a public feud with an
American Muslim family whose son was
killed while serving in the U.S. military in
Iraq.
Trumps decision to tap Stephen Bannon,
a combative conservative media executive,
as his new campaign chief, suggested to
some that he planned to double down on the
playbook he used in the primary, playing to
his angry rally crowds and bouncing from
one controversy to the next.
Instead, a new Trump emerged on
Thursday: a less combative, more inclusive
candidate who said he was running to be the
voice for every forgotten part of this country that has been waiting and hoping for a
better future and for those who dont hear
anyone speaking for them.
Earlier Thursday, Trump moved to invest
nearly $5 million in battleground state
advertising to address daunting challenges
in the states that will make or break his
White House ambitions.

Clintons foundation to alter


donations policy if elected
By Ken Thomas
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK Hillary Clintons family


foundation will no longer accept foreign and
corporate donations if she is elected president, and will bring an end to its annual
Clinton Global Initiative meeting regardless
of the outcome of the November election.
Former President Bill Clinton made the
announcement at an afternoon meeting with
foundation staff members, according to participants who spoke to the Associated Press
on condition of anonymity ahead of the formal announcement.
Bill Clinton said the foundation plans to
continue its work, but intends to refocus its
efforts in a process that will take up to a year
to complete. The former president, who turns
70 on Friday, said he will resign from the
board, and the foundation will only accept
contributions from U.S. citizens and independent charities.
It will no longer take money from any foreign entity, government, foreign or domestic
corporations, or corporate charities. A
Clinton spokesman said the former president
will also refrain from delivering paid speeches until the November election and will no

longer give paid speeches if Hillary Clinton is


elected president.
At the staff meeting,
Clinton said he and his
daughter,
Chelsea
Clinton, did not face any
external pressure to make
the changes, but wanted
Hillary Clinton to avoid any potential
issues or second guessing for Hillary Clinton should she move into
the White House.
The future of the Clinton Foundation has
been one of the overarching questions shadowing Clintons campaign.
The sprawling charitable network, founded
after Bill Clinton left office in 2001, has
raised more than $2 billion for initiatives
focused on global health, climate change,
economic development and increasing
opportunities for women and girls.
While Hillary Clinton stepped down from
its board after launching her 2016 campaign, her husband and daughter have
remained in leadership roles, prompting
questions about the ability of the organization to continue its work should Clinton win
the White House.

WASHINGTON A firm run by Donald


Trumps campaign chairman directly orchestrated a covert Washington lobbying operation on behalf of Ukraines ruling political
party, attempting to sway American public
opinion in favor of the countrys proRussian government, emails obtained by the
Associated Press show. Paul Manafort and
his deputy, Rick Gates, never disclosed their
work as foreign agents as required under federal law.
The lobbying included attempts to gain
positive press coverage of Ukrainian officials in The New York Times, The Wall Street
Journal and the Associated Press. Another
goal: undercutting American public sympathy for the imprisoned rival of Ukraines
then-president. At the time, European and
American leaders were pressuring Ukraine to
free her.
Gates personally directed the work of two
prominent Washington lobbying firms in
the matter, the emails show. He worked for
Manaforts political consulting firm at the
time.
Manafort and Gates activities carry outsized importance, since they have steered
Trumps campaign since April. The pair also
played a formative role building out Trumps
campaign operation after pushing out an
early rival. Trump shook up his campaigns
organization again this week, but Manafort
and Gates retain their titles and much of their
influence. The new disclosures about their
work come as Trump faces criticism for his
friendly overtures to Russian President
Vladimir Putin.
Trump said Thursday night that, if elected,
he will ask senior officials in his administration not to accept speaking fees, for five
years after leaving office, from corporations
that lobby or from any entity tied to a for-

eign government. He
said it was among his
efforts to restore honor
to government.
Manafort and Gates
have previously said they
were not doing work that
required them to register
as
foreign
agents.
Neither commented when
Paul Manafort
reached by the AP on
Thursday.
The emails show Gates personally directed
two Washington lobbying firms, Mercury
LLC and the Podesta Group Inc., between
2012 and 2014 to set up meetings between a
top Ukrainian official and senators and congressmen on influential committees involving Ukrainian interests. Gates noted in the
emails that the official, Ukraines foreign
minister, did not want to use his own
embassy in the United States to help coordinate the visits.
Gates also directed the firms to gather
information in the U.S. on a rival lobbying
operation, including a review of its public
lobbying disclosures, to determine who was
behind that effort, the emails show.
And Gates directed efforts to undercut sympathy for Yulia Tymoshenko, an imprisoned
rival of then-President Viktor Yanukovych.
The Ukrainian leader eventually fled the
country in February 2014 during a popular
revolt prompted in part by his governments
crackdown on protesters and close ties to
Russia.
The emails do not describe details about
the role of Manafort, who was Gates boss at
the firm, DMP International LLC. Current
and former employees at Mercury and the
Podesta Group, some of whom spoke on condition of anonymity because they are subject
to non-disclosure agreements, told the AP
that Manafort oversaw the lobbying efforts
and spoke by phone about them.

U.S. to phase out its use


of some private prisons
By Eileen Sullivan
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON The Obama administration announced Thursday it will phase out


its use of some private prisons, affecting
thousands of federal inmates and immediately sending shares of the two publicly traded
prison operators plunging.
In a memo to the Bureau of Prisons,
Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates told it
to start reducing and ultimately ending the
Justice Departments use of private prisons.
The announcement follows a recent Justice
Department audit that found that the private
facilities have more safety and security
problems than government-run ones.
The Obama administration says the
declining federal prison population justifies
the decision to eventually close privately
run prisons. The federal prison population
now at 193,299 has been dropping due
to changes in federal sentencing policies
over the past three years. Private prisons
hold about 22,100 of these inmates, or 12
percent of the total population, the Justice
Department said.
The policy change does not cover private
prisons used by Immigration and Customs
Enforcement, which hold up to 34, 000
immigrants awaiting deportation.
Private prisons served an important role
during a difficult period, but time has shown
that they compare poorly to our own Bureau
facilities, Yates wrote in a memo to the act-

ing director of the Federal Bureau of Prisons.


As private prison contracts come to an end,
the bureau is not to renew the contract or it
should at least substantially reduce its
scope, Yates wrote. She did not specify a
timeline for when all federal inmates would
be in government-owned facilities.
Democratic presidential candidate Hillary
Clinton has said the U.S. should move away
from using private facilities to house
inmates. On Thursday, she tweeted: Glad to
see that the Justice Department is ending the
use of private prisons. This is the right step
forward.
The Clinton campaign has said it no
longer accepts contributions from private
prison interests, and if it receives such a
contribution, it will donate that money to
charity. The private prison industry is a
major contributor to Republican political
campaigns, particularly in recent years.
GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump
has said he supports the use of private prisons.
The private prisons on the chopping
block are operated by three private companies Corrections Corporation of
America, GEO Group Inc., and Management
and Training Corporation. After the
announcement Thursday, Corrections Corp.
stock dropped $13.22, or 48.6 percent, to
$14 and Geo Group tumbled $13.80, or 42.7
percent, to $18.49. Both companies get
about half their revenue from the federal
government.

Obama administration: $400M to Iran


was contingent on release of prisoners
By Bradley Klapper
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON The Obama administration said Thursday that a $400 million cash
payment to Iran seven months ago was contingent on the release of a group of
American prisoners.
It is the first time the U.S. has so clearly
linked the two events, which critics have
painted as a hostage-ransom arrangement.
State Department spokesman John Kirby
repeated the administrations line that the
negotiations to return the Iranian money
from a military-equipment deal with the
U.S.-backed shah in the 1970s were conducted separately from the talks to free four
U.S. citizens in Iran. But he said the U.S.
withheld the delivery of the cash as leverage
until Iran permitted the Americans to leave
the country.
We had concerns that Iran may renege on
the prisoner release, Kirby said, citing
delays and mutual mistrust between countries that severed diplomatic relations 36
years ago. As a result, he explained, the U.S.
of course sought to retain maximum leverage until after the American citizens were
released. That was our top priority.

Both events occurred Jan. 17, fueling suspicions from Republican lawmakers and
accusations from GOP presidential nominee
Donald Trump of a quid pro quo that undermined Americas longstanding opposition
to ransom payments.
In a speech Thursday night in Charlotte,
North Carolina, Trump accused President
Barack Obama of lying. He denied it was
for the hostages, but it was. He said we dont
pay ransom, but he did. He lied about the
hostages, openly and blatantly, Trump
said.
Kirby spoke a day after The Wall Street
Journal reported new details of the crisscrossing planes on that day. U.S. officials
wouldnt let Iran bring the cash home from a
Geneva airport until a Swiss Air Force plane
carrying three of the freed Americans departed from Tehran, the paper reported. The
fourth American left on a commercial flight.
Earlier this month, after the revelation the
U.S. delivered the money in pallets of cash,
the administration flatly denied any connection between the payment and the prisoners.
Reports of link between prisoner release
& payment to Iran are completely false,
Kirby tweeted at the time.

Fourteen killed in
attacks on police,
military in Turkey
By Suzan Fraser
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ANKARA, Turkey A string of bombings, blamed on


Kurdish rebels and targeting Turkeys security forces, killed
at least 14 people and wounded more than 220 others, officials said Thursday.
Two of the attacks were car bombings that hit police stations in eastern Turkey, while a third a roadside blast
targeted a military vehicle carrying soldiers in the southeast of the country.
Authorities say the assaults were carried out by the
Kurdistan Workers Party, or PKK, which has launched a
campaign of car bombings targeting police stations or
roadside bomb attacks against security force vehicles. Last
week, PKK commander Cemil Bayik threatened increased
attacks against police in Turkish cities.
The wave of attacks come as Turkey is focused on a clampdown on suspected followers of a movement led by U.S.based Muslim cleric Fethullah Gulen, which the government accuses of orchestrating a failed military coup last
month, that killed at least 270 people.
The first car bombing hit a police station in the eastern
province of Van late Wednesday, killing a police officer and
two civilians. At least 73 other people 53 civilians and
20 police officers were wounded, officials said.
Another car bombing hit police headquarters in the eastern Turkish city of Elazig early Thursday, killing at least
five people, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said. Officials
said earlier 146 people were wounded and 14 of them were in
serious condition.
Video footage showed a large plume of smoke rising from
the area. Cars were overturned and the windows of the fourstory building and its wings were blown out.
In the southeastern province of Bitlis meanwhile, five
soldiers were killed after rebels detonated a roadside improvised explosive device as an armored military vehicle was
passing by, officials said. Five other soldiers were wounded
in the attack. A government-paid village guard, helping the
security forces battle the PKK was also killed in a clash with
rebels in the province, the state-run Anadolu Agency reported.
Prime Minister Binali Yildirim traveled to Elazig to visit
the site of the bombing as well as those wounded in the
attack.

U.N. says it was involved in


introducing cholera to Haiti
By Edith M. Lederer
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

UNITED NATIONS The United Nations is saying for the


first time that it was involved in the introduction of cholera
to Haiti and needs to do much more to end the suffering of
those affected, estimated at more than 770,000 people.
Researchers say there is ample evidence that cholera was
introduced to Haitis biggest river in October 2010 by inadequately treated sewage from a U.N. peacekeeping base. The
United Nations has never accepted responsibility, and has
answered lawsuits on behalf of victims in U.S. courts by
claiming diplomatic immunity.
U.N. deputy spokesman Farhan Haqs statement referring
to the U.N.s own involvement, which was sent to the
Associated Press on Thursday, came a step closer to an
admission of at least some responsibility and was welcomed by lawyers for the victims.
This is a major victory for the thousands of Haitians who
have been marching for justice, writing to the U.N. and
bringing the U.N. to court, said Mario Joseph, a Haitian
human rights attorney whose law firm is leading a highprofile claim on behalf of 5,000 cholera victims who blame
the U.N. for introducing the disease.
It is high time for the U.N. to make this right and prove
to the world that human rights for all means for Haitians
too, he said.
Haq said in the statement that the United Nations has been
considering a series of options, and a significantly new
set of U.N. actions will be presented publicly within the
next two months.
He told reporters later that a U.N.-appointed panel already
looked into the U.N.s involvement and found that a local
contractor failed to properly sanitize the waste at the U.N.
base.
Weve been trying to see exactly what we can do about
our own particular role as this has been going on and how
to bring this outbreak to a close, he said.
Haq wouldnt say whether reparations were under consideration.

Five-year-old Omran Daqneesh, with bloodied face, sits with his sister inside an ambulance after they were rescued following
an airstrike in the rebel-held al-Qaterji neighborhood of Aleppo, Syria.

Image of Aleppo boy shocks


world; Russia offers cease-fires
By Philip Issa
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BEIRUT The Russian military


said Thursday it was ready to back a
U.N. call for weekly cease-fires for
Syrias contested city of Aleppo, as
haunting footage of a young boys
rescue from the aftermath of an
airstrike shook global media.
The image of the stunned and wearylooking boy, sitting in an ambulance
caked with dust and with blood on his
face, captured the horror that has beset
the war-torn northern city as photographs of the child were widely shared
on social media.
An hour after his rescue, the badly
damaged building the boy was in completely collapsed.
A doctor in Aleppo identified the
child as 5-year-old Omran Daqneesh.
He was brought to the hospital,
known as M10, on Wednesday
night, following an airstrike by
Russian or government warplanes on
the rebel-held neighborhood of
Qaterji, said Dr. Osama Abu al-Ezz.
The boy suffered head wounds but no
brain injury, and was later discharged.
Rescue workers and journalists
arrived shortly after the strike and

described pulling victims from the


rubble.
We were passing them from one
balcony to the other, said photojournalist Mahmoud Raslan, who took the
dramatic photo. He said he had passed
along three lifeless bodies when
someone handed him the wounded
boy. Raslan gave the child to a rescue
worker, who rushed him to the ambulance.
Eight people died in the strike,
including five children, according to a
doctor who gave only his first name,
Abo Mohammadian. Many doctors
working in Aleppos opposition areas
do not give their full names for fear of
reprisals against their relatives in
government areas.
A nurse who treated Omran said he
was in a daze.
It was as if he was asleep. Not
unconscious, but traumatized lost,
said Mahmoud Abu Rajab.
Medical workers feared internal
injuries, but an X-ray and an ultrasound revealed his wounds were superficial. Abu Rajab stitched up the child
and wrapped his forehead and left eye
in a bandage.
Omrans three siblings, ages 1, 6,
and 11, and his mother and father were

also rescued from the building. None


sustained major injuries.
We sent the younger children
immediately to the ambulance, but the
11-year-old girl waited for her mother
to be rescued, said Raslan, adding
that the womans ankle was pinned
beneath the rubble.
In the video posted late Wednesday
by the Aleppo Media Center, a man
was seen carrying Omran away from
the chaotic nighttime scene and into
an ambulance. Looking dazed, the boy
ran his hands over his blood-covered
face, then wiped them on the orange
ambulance chair.
The powerful imagery reverberated
across social media, drawing to mind
the anguished global response to the
photos of Aylan Kurdi, the drowned
Syrian boy whose body was found on a
beach in Turkey and came to represent
the horrific toll of Syrias civil war.
The fighting has frustrated the
U.N.s efforts to fulfill its humanitarian mandate, and the world bodys special envoy to Syria cut short a meeting
Thursday of the ad hoc committee
chaired by Russia and the United
States tasked with deescalating the
violence so that relief can reach beleaguered civilians.

Stocks edge higher as energy prices rise


By Marley Jay

DOW JONES INDUSTRIALS

NEW YORK U. S. stocks


again ticked higher Thursday as
the continuing rebound in oil
prices gave energy companies a

avoiding big moves. The dollar
weakened further, and compared to
the yen its at its lowest in almost

Stocks wobbled in the early part
of the day, but energy companies
were a standout as the price of U.S.
oil reached its highest level since
the beginning of July. The weakening dollar aided exporters
including technology and chemical companies. The market turned
higher in the afternoon. Phone

Self-driving Uber cars to carry


passenger soon in Pittsburgh

Gap offers muted outlook for


annual earnings, lower profit

SAN FRANCISCO In a few


weeks, Uber will start using selfdriving cars to carry passengers in
Pittsburgh, raising the stakes in
the fast-track race to deploy
autonomous vehicles.
The ride-hailing company said
Thursday that customers will be
able to opt into the test program,
which will use autonomous Ford

companies are testing self-driving
cars on public roads, this is the

havent seen, will be free to those
willing to take part, the company
said.
Uber, which has a self-driving
research lab in Pittsburgh, has no
immediate plans to deploy
autonomous cars beyond the
Pittsburgh experiment. But its
CEO, Travis Kalanick, has said
that without drivers, the cost of
hailing a ride will be cheaper than
owning a car.
Kalanik, in a Thursday interview
with the Associated Press, said
development of autonomous cars
is paramount for the 7-year-old
San Francisco-based company.
Were catching up fast, but we
need to get to No. 1 quick, he
said. Weve got to be laser-

focused on getting this to market,


because its not a side project for
us. This is everything. This is all
the marbles for Uber.
Uber also announced a $300 million alliance with Volvo to supply
vehicles and technology, and the
acquisition of an autonomous bigrig startup in San Francisco as it
pushes forward with self-driving
vehicles. The announcements may
push it ahead of its prime competitor, Lyft, which earlier this year
took a $500 million investment
from General Motors.
Theyre part of a flurry of deals
between Silicon Valley tech companies, traditional automakers and
ride-hailing companies as they vie
for leadership in whats being
billed as the next step in the way
we all will get around.

NEW YORK Gap Inc. offered a


downbeat outlook for its annual
profit on Thursday after reporting
a 43 percent drop in net income for
the second quarter, weighed down
by moves to close stores.
The San Francisco-based company, which operates stores mainly under its namesake brand as
well as Banana Republic and Old
Navy, is facing the same problems
as other fashion retailers as shoppers buy less clothing in general
and shop more at off-price chains
when they do. That has resulted in
sluggish traffic at the stores. But
its also long been struggling
with its own problems, mired in a
sales slump as its clothes dont
stand out in an overcrowded landscape.
Gap has been in a cycle of discounting its goods to get shoppers to buy.

The dollar fell to 99.98 yen, its


lowest level since October 2013.
The euro rose to $1.1354 from
$1.1290. The dollar was worth
about 120 yen at the start of the
year and its been gradually weakening. A weaker dollar is good for
U. S. exporters like chemical,
mining and technology companies.
On Wednesday the Federal
Reserve released minutes from its
latest meeting, which investors
took as new confirmation the Fed
is in no hurry to raise interest
rates again.
Detrick cautioned that the yen
sometimes gains strength when
investors are nervous
Wal-Mart Stores climbed $1.37,
or 1.9 percent, to $74.30. The
worlds largest retailer raised its
annual estimates after reporting
strong results for the second quarter. The company is revamping
stores and has won back some customers. Wal-Mart, which has lost
sales to sites like Amazon as people make more purchases online,
is also buying online retailer
Jet.com for $3 billion as it fights
for more online shoppers.

Tigers eye title repeat


By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

As Notre Dame-Belmonts dominant outside hitting tandem of Katie Smoot and


Tammy Byrne return to the court for their
senior season, one thing is clear their
decorated volleyball careers are just getting
started.
The NDB Tigers are coming off a historic
season in which they brought home the programs first-ever state championship banner, reveling in the 2015 Division IV title
game with a sweep over Laguna BlancaSanta Barbara last December.
Smoot and Byrne are primed for a run at a
repeat performance. And with the Tigers
starting a rigorous preseason tournament
schedule with their season opener Aug. 27 at
Spikefest in Milpitas, the buzz surrounding
the quest to repeat is palpable during this
their first official week of practice.
I think theres definitely a possibility,
Byrne said. And if we work really hard at
every practice and take advantage of every
rep, well be able to repeat. But its going to
take a lot of heart.
Heart has been one of the pillars of the
NDB volleyball program since Jen Agresti
took over as head coach in 2012. It was the
following season that Smoot and Byrne
walked into Moore Pavilion as freshmen
with all the talent in the world. Agresti knew
she had something special in the duo and
named them both to the varsity squad as
freshmen.
I felt they were going to be the future of
the program, Agresti said. But a lot of
freshmen come in with a lot of talent and its
no guarantee. Its the dedication they put in
that determines their future.
After a summer committed to the club volleyball circuit pairing to help the Encore
17-Navy team, also coached by Agresti, to a
trip to junior nationals Smoot and Byrne
look like theyre in the best shape of their
lives.
Both have plenty of motivation. Not only
are they hungry for another state-title run,
each have high ambitions to excel in the
Division I collegiate ranks next season.
Smoot has already committed to the Pac-12

Notre Dame-Belmont seniors Tammy Byrne, second from left, and Katie Smoot keep it loose
by laughing it up at Thursdays volleyball practice at Moore Pavilion. The two are serious
talents though, as evidenced by the 2015 state championship banner hanging overhead.

RIO DE JANEIRO Brazilian police


said Thursday that swimmer Ryan Lochte
and three U.S. teammates were not robbed
after a night of partying, and the intoxicated athletes instead vandalized a gas station
bathroom and were questioned by armed
guards before they paid
for the damage and left.
The robbery that was
or wasnt has become
the biggest spectacle
outside of the Olympic
venues in Rio, casting a
shadow over American
Olympians in Brazil
Ryan Lochte amid an otherwise
remarkable run at the
Summer Games. The ordeal was also a blow
to Brazilians, who for months endured
scrutiny about whether the city could keep
athletes and tourists safe given its long
history of violence.
No robbery was committed against
these athletes. They were not victims of
the crimes they claimed, Civil Police
Chief Fernando Veloso said during a news
conference.
The police account came in direct contrast to claims from Lochtes attorney made
earlier in the week. The attorney, Jeff
Ostrow, had maintained that the robbery
took place and insisted the swimmer had
nothing to gain by making the story up.
He, as well as Lochtes father and agent, did
not return phone calls seeking comment.
The swimmers could potentially face
punishment probation, suspension, a

Swimmings code of conduct, which prohibits dishonesty or fraud. It was not
immediately clear if the organization
planned to act. It was also not clear if the

Kaepernick resumes throwing during practice


By Dennis Georgatos
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ENGLEWOOD,
Colo.

Colin
Kaepernick threw dozens of passes on the
side during the 49ers joint practice
Thursday with the Denver Broncos, signaling the quarterbacks return from a sore
passing shoulder.
The throws were the first on the practice
field in a week for Kaepernick, whose competition with Blaine Gabbert for the starting job had to be put on hold after tightness
in his right shoulder forced him to rest his
throwing arm.
Kaepernick also took part in individual
quarterback drills and conditioning.
However, coach Chip Kelly said Kaepernick
would be eased back into full participation
in practices and ruled him out for Saturday
nights exhibition game against the
Broncos.
Kelly said the plan outlined by the teams

medical staff in consultation with Kaepernick


called for the quarterback
to ramp up his practice
participation next week
with the notion of getting playing time in the
teams third exhibition
at home against Green
Bay on Aug. 26.
Colin
Theyre easing him
Kaepernick
back into throwing right
now, Kelly said. In talking to him, he
says he feels really good. But we dont want
to throw him back out there and then have a
setback. From what we understand, its not a
long-term thing but were just getting him
back into it. Thats the plan, to see if he
can, so that hes a full go to get ready to

Ex-NFler Sharper gets 18


years in prison for rapes
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW ORLEANS Former NFL star


Darren Sharper was sentenced Thursday to
more than 18 years in prison for drugging
women in order to rape them double the
sentence recommended by prosecutors.
One of Sharpers victims the only one
to speak at his sentencing hearing
rebuffed his display of contrition.
For the list of people youve done this
to: Go to hell, she said. Her name was not
given in court, and The Associated Press
does not identify victims of sexual abuse by
name.
The former New Orleans Saints safety,
jailed since February 2014, apologized and
appeared chastened by his fall from grace.
I would like to apologize a thousand
times, the 40-year-old Sharper said. Later,
he said, looking down and sighing, Im
still trying to figure out why I made some of
these choices.
His voice quivered and choked with emotion when he apologized to his parents.

U. S. District Judge
Jane Triche Milazzo, in
sentencing Sharper, told
him she couldnt understand how he did what he
did, since he was college
educated and obviously
had grown up in one of
the most loving houseDarren Sharper holds.
We can never ignore
the damage you inflicted on those women
and society at large, she said.
Sharper had pleaded guilty in federal court
in New Orleans to drugging three women so
he could rape them. He also has pleaded
guilty or no contest in state courts in
Louisiana, Arizona, California and Nevada
to charges arising from allegations of drugging and raping women.
Defense attorney Billy Gibbens asked for
leniency because Sharpers testimony
helped get late guilty pleas from two
codefendants who will be sentenced in
October.

Hyde also came over to catch a few passes


from Kaepernick, who later stretched out his
throws to about 25 yards.
Throughout the various side sessions and
distances, Kaepernick was throwing tight
spirals with plenty of zip. His participation
in individual footwork and dropback drills
was strong and crisp.
The team had Kaepernick back off his
passing work after he experienced shoulder
soreness following practice on Aug. 10.
Gabbert was expected to start against the
Broncos on Saturday night with Jeff Driskel
also seeing time.
Christian Ponder, signed earlier this week
to bolster the teams quarterback depth, also
was expected to see action.
The 49ers lost quarterback Thad Lewis to a
season-ending knee injury in their exhibition opener last Sunday against Houston.
Ponder was out of the league last season
after being released in training camp by the
Oakland Raiders.

Hes got to knock the rust off a little bit


but for the first time out there, he did a good
job, Kelly said of Ponders initial practice
with the team Wednesday. Obviously, if we
get him in the game Saturday, it will be limited in terms of, What do you feel real comfortable throwing? What do you feel real
comfortable running?
Notes: Hall of Famer Charles Haley has
been on the practice field with his old team
working with the 49ers pass-rushing linebackers. Hes really been an invaluable
tool for us, Kelly said. Theres a tremendous amount of knowledge that he has and
he has had tremendous success in this
league. ... If he can impart some of that on
our young guys, we want to have him around
as long as Charles wants to be around. ...
The 49ers wrapped up a second day of joint
practices with the Broncos. Tempers flared
several times between the teams but the
skirmishes between players were quickly
brought under control.

Lacy helps power the


Packers past Raiders
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

GREEN BAY, Wis. Eddie Lacys powerful


running early on helped propel the Green Bay
Packers to a 20-12 win over the Oakland Raiders
on Thursday night.
Lacy had nine carries for 45 yards, capped by
a 1-yard touchdown dive on third-and-goal, to
highlight a 14-play, 74-yard drive to start the
game as the Packers again played without quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
The night was over at that point for Lacy, who
made coach Mike McCarthy happy in the offseason by slimming down after the coach was
critical of the lead backs playing weight at the
end of last season.
With a healthy Rodgers again held out of
game action, second-year backup Brett Hundley
made the start in his preseason debut.
But after directing the early touchdown drive,
which used more than half of the clock in the
first quarter, Hundley left the game early in the
second quarter with an ankle injury.
An injured ankle sidelined Hundley for two
weeks until he returned to practice this week.
Derek Carr ran Oaklands offense for a half
Thursday, but wasnt effective.
The third-year starter completed 9 of 13 pass-

Packers 20, Raiders 12


es for just 38 yards and had an underthrown pass
to standout receiver Amari Cooper picked off by
Damarious Randall.
Raiders running back Latavius Murray had six
carries for 19 yards against a Green Bay defense
that was without three key starters, including
linebackers Clay Matthews and Julius Peppers.
Matthews and Peppers, who have yet to play
in the preseason, have been threatened with suspensions by the NFL if they dont cooperate
with the leagues investigation of the players
alleged link to performance-enhancing drugs.

Mack attack
All-Pro defensive end Khalil Mack had a big
first half for the Raiders in pressuring the pocket.
One of Macks two quarterback hits forced
Hundley to leave the game after Hundley managed to complete a pass of 31 yards to Davante
Adams.
Mack later dominated Packers backup rookie
left tackle Jason Spriggs on back-to-back plays
with a sack of Joe Callahan and then pressuring
Callahan into an intentional-grounding penalty.

A strange day for U.S. womens relay team


By Eddie Pells
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

RIO DE JANEIRO All by themselves on


the massive track, the four U.S. women took
their positions in Lane 2.
Tianna Bartoletta kneeled into the blocks
and waited for the starters pistol. It sounded
and away she went alone in a first-ofits-kind Olympic relay race against the
clock.
The Americans won that contest Thursday
night to earn their spot in the final eight of
the 4x100.
As is the case with so many relays the U.S.
has run over the years, this was anything but
routine.
Our coach told us before we went out there,
Its just like practice, just the whole world
will be watching, said English Gardner.
Returning to the track 7 1/2 hours after
they left, the team of Bartoletta, Allyson
Felix, Gardner and Morolake Akinosun finished in a time of 41.77 seconds to bump
China out of the last spot in the final.
The rerun of their preliminary heat came
about after Felix, running in the second position, got jostled by a Brazilian, stumbled and
tried, unsuccessfully, to flip the baton ahead
to Gardner.
The stick fell, and after being disqualified,
the Americans lodged a successful protest.

But unlike some races, in which an additional runner could simply be added to the
final, relays are limited to eight teams
because there are only eight lanes that wrap
completely around the track. So, the judges
brought the Americans back to run in the
same lane, in the same order, in what USA
Track and Field said was the first rerun of its
kind in Olympic history.
Their only goal was to beat Chinas
eighth-place time of 42.70 seconds, and that
was no problem for a team that had two members Bartoletta and Felix who were on
the team that set the world record (40.82 seconds) at the London Games in 2012.
The exchanges were smooth, and a few
moments after Akinosun crossed the line in a
time that not only beat Chinas, but was the
best that any team had run all day, the four
runners huddled for a quick hug.
Bartoletta peeled off to receive the gold
medal she won in the long jump the night
before. The others were off for rest and another quick turnaround.
The final is Friday night, and the United
States will run out of either Lane 1 or 8 the
least-desirable lanes because the Americans,
despite their top time, were not among the
top three finishers in their heat.
I dont know how much more I can take,
said Felix, whose season has been filled with
injuries, disappointments and, now, this.
My bodys fine, my mind will be fine. Its

different, just not the year I was expecting.
Earlier, in more-conventional news, the
U.S. mens team coasted through the preliminaries, winning its heat in 37.65 seconds.

Jamaicas relay team also made it through,


finishing second in its heat without Usain
Bolt, who was resting up for the 200-meter
final later in the evening.
It puts Jamaica, and Bolt, in position for a
third straight title in the sprint relay.
The only pressure is to make sure we get
the stick around, said Asafa Powell, the former world-record holder who ran the third
leg.
Its been more of a problem with the United
States than the Jamaicans over the years.
The U.S. women botched the exchange in
both the 2004 and 2008 Olympics to give
away potential medals in an event that was
virtually made for the team with the deepest
pool of sprinters. At last years world championships, a minor bobble in the less-technical 4x400 cost a precious split second that
made the difference in a loss to Jamaica.
The U.S. men have either been disqualified
or failed to get the baton around the track
eight times at Olympics or world championships since 1995.
This years mens team was in the holding
room when the women bobbled the stick. A
jarring reminder.
First thing I did is told the young guys,
We got this, veteran Tyson Gay said after
running the mens third leg. Youve got to
be positive. A lot of things happen out
there.

U.S. BMX riders advance, defending champ out

Latvias Maris Strombergs, center, the


defending gold medalist, was eliminated
following a crash in the second heat.

RIO DE JANEIRO Connor Fields and his


U.S. teammates made it safely through the
wind and the wrecks at the BMX track.
Two-time defending gold medalist Maris
Strombergs of Latvia and reigning world
champion Joris Daudet of France werent as
fortunate on Thursday at the Summer
Olympics.
A crash-filled quarterfinal round on a breezy
afternoon in Rio de Janeiro cleared the field
of a handful of medal contenders, and brought
the United States one step closer to returning
to the podium after getting shut out in
London four years ago.
All three American riders advanced to the
semifinals on Friday in an unpredictable
sport that traces its roots to Southern
California.
The best I can describe it is, put 800 lions
in a cage, throw out a big steak and open the
doors, Fields said. Thats BMX.
Teammates Corben Sharrah and Nic Long

joined him in the semifinals. Three Dutch riders advanced, including Niek Kimmann,
ranked second in the world.
Australias Sam Willoughby, the silver
medalist in 2012, also made it through to the
next round.
But there will be a new gold winner in Rio
after Strombergs barely missed the cut. A
wreck on his first heat with two other medal
favorites, Switzerlands David Graf and
Britains Liam Phillips, set him back the rest
of the afternoon.
This isnt the way Strombergs had envisioned leaving his last Summer Games.
Strombergs, who carried Latvias flag in the
Opening Ceremonies, is known for producing in big races.
Not on Thursday.
He didnt manage the track. The track wasnt for him and the wind helped a lot to make
things worse, said Latvia coach Ivo Lakucs.
He wasnt confident in the gate.
By the end of the heats on Thursday, a stiff
breeze had whipped up flags fluttering above
the stadium.

Crashes arent uncommon in BMX, though


that didnt ease Strombergs disappointment.
A race is a race. You need to take a risk.
Thats the sport, Lakucs said.
Fields said the winds, which appeared to be
blowing primarily at the racers backs coming off the starting ramp, were different from
what they had encountered earlier in the week
in practice.
Cyclists only had 30 minutes of practice
before the heats on Thursday to get used to
the conditions.
I really like the course, but what made it
really hard today was the wind, Fields said.
So adaptability was huge today and I think
you noticed, the riders that were able to adapt
and mentally get through what was going on
out there ... those were the riders that were
able to be successful.
Daudet favored his left arm while riding
around after the round. Phillips, ranked second in the world, was being checked out by
medical personnel as precaution for a possible concussion, British coach Grant White
said.

Top-ranked U.S. LOCHTE


volleyball team
loses to Serbia
Continued from page 11

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

RIO DE JANEIRO Leaning over, hands on


her knees and cheering at every chance, injured
U.S. star Foluke Akinradewo could only watch.
The top-ranked Americans had fought back to
force a fifth set against Serbia before falling
short short of the gold-medal goal that had
driven her and others back to the national team
for one more Olympic cycle.
Serbias players cried in triumph after the
biggest win in their programs history. They
reached the Rio de Janeiro championship, guaranteeing the countrys first womens volleyball
medal after a 20-25, 25-17, 25-21, 16-25, 1513 victory.
Right now, this loss is deeply disappointing. It cuts deep. Its very painful, and thats
OK, U.S. coach Karch Kiraly said. When you
care that much, its going to. Were going to
process that some, we get some time to grieve.
We signed up to do difficult things with USAand
were going to come back harder the next 48
hours to fight for the bronze medal.
Akinradewos teammates took over after she
was sidelined by an apparent left knee injury
late in the opening set after beginning the
match brilliantly. She tried to give it a go, but
the leg didnt let her. Akinradewo will undergo
tests to determine whether she might play
Saturday.
It was tough when Foluke went down. I think
we were a little distracted there for a second
because we care so much for her, captain
Christa Dietzen said, briefly becoming emotional. Obviously we wanted to turn this
around, for her, for everybody thats part of this
program. We have a chance in the next 48 hours
to do so.

then switched it again. Serbia kept pounding,

The Americans led 12-10 in the fifth set when
Karsta Lowe served into the net, then Milena
Rasic answered with an ace and U.S. middle
blocker Rachael Adams also netted her serve.
Its amazing. Theres no words to describe
really this feeling, Serbias Tijana Malesevic
said. I think we need more time to be aware of
what we did, but we gave our heart. We gave
everything what we could, what we know, like
everything like each player, staff, coaches.
We made it. This is history. We wrote history for
Serbia, for volleyball federation, for the world.
Lowe came through with her powerful left
arm, Dietzen and Adams blocked masterfully as
Kayla Banwarth provided her signature reliable
passing, but the Americans (7-1) couldnt close
it out with their star middle blocker down.
The Americans are knocked out of title contention, and two-time defending Olympic
champion Brazil was ousted in a stunning fivesetter by China in the quarterfinals. That means
Serbia will face a young Chinese squad led by
former U.S. coach Jenny Lang Ping or a
Netherlands team that is back in the Olympics
for the first time in 20 years.

swimmers would face criminal charges,


though police said the athletes could be
charged with destruction of property, falsely
reporting a crime or both.
Veloso said its up to the courts, but as far as
hes concerned the athletes should be able to

Lochte initially said that he and teammates
Jack Conger, Gunnar Bentz and Jimmy Feigen
were held at gunpoint and robbed several
hours after the last Olympic swimming races
ended. Police said earlier this week that they
couldnt nd evidence to substantiate the
claim, and a judge ordered the swimmers passports held as the investigation continued.
Lochte had already returned to the U.S. but the
others stayed, and Conger and Bentz were
pulled off a plane at the Rio airport.

the story changed on Thursday police rst
said no guns were involved, then backtracked
and said two guards pointed weapons in their

The closed-circuit video shows one of the

damage. Veloso said the swimmers broke a
door, a soap dispenser and a mirror.
The swimmers eventually talk with station
workers as their cab leaves.
As they talk, two of the swimmers briey

Yoshida made no excuses after the match
when asked why she lost.
Just that the opponent is stronger than

swimmers. Veloso said the guards did not use
excessive force and would have been justied
in drawing their weapons because the athletes
were conducting themselves in a violent
way.
A station employee called police, and the
guards and employees tried to get the swimmers and the taxi driver to stay until authorities arrived, some even offering to help interpret between English and Portuguese, Veloso
said. But he said the athletes wanted to leave,
so paid 100 Brazilian reals (about US $33) and
$20 in U.S. currency and left.
Conger and Bentz told authorities after they
were taken off the plane that the story of the
robbery had been fabricated, said the police
ofcial who told the AP about the guns pointed at the swimmers.
Bentz and Conger gave testimony late
Thursday. Upon leaving a police station, they
walked through a crowd of dozens of journalists and onlookers without stopping or
answering questions. A few people in the
crowd shouted at them, calling them liars
and shameful.
It was not immediately clear if Feigen, who
spoke to police on Sunday, was going to provide another statement.
Police said the swimmers were unable to
provide key details in early interviews, saying they had been intoxicated. The police ofcial said ofcers grew suspicious when security video showed the swimmers returning to
the athletes village wearing watches, which
would have likely been taken in a robbery.
The debacle prompted both wild speculation and social media mockery, which quickly
turned to scorn after the ofcial account went
public. (hash)LochteGate was trending on
Twitter, with users sharing video footage and
posting comments about white privilege and
rude Americans.
David Fleischer, a political scientist at the
University of Brasilia, said the incident
touched a nerve in Brazil because of the countrys history and cases of people committing
crimes while impersonating police.
A dream matchup in the womens
wrestling 75 kilogram freestyle category
was ruined when the United States Adeline
Gray and Brazils Aline da Silva Ferreira
both lost in the quarterfinals.
Gray, the heavily favored three-time world
champion, lost to Vasilisa Marzaliuk of
Belarus 3-1 on Thursday. Marzaliuk finished
fifth at the 2012 Olympics in the 72 kilogram class, and was third in the 2015 World
Championships at 75 kilograms.
Brazils crowd was fired up for da Silva
Ferreira, a silver medalist from the 2014
World Championships, but she fell behind
early and lost to Russias Ekaterina Bukina
4-3.
Bukina won the bronze medal by scoring
in the final seconds of a 5-3 win over

match.

Decathlete ties record, upstaged by Bolt

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

RIO DE JANEIRO A weightlifter from Kyrgyzstan became


the first athlete at the Rio de Janeiro Olympics to be stripped of
a medal after failing a drug test, while a Chinese swimmer and
Brazilian cyclist were also disqualified Thursday and a Moldovan
canoeist was suspended and could lose his bronze medal.
Weightlifter Izzat Artykov tested positive for strychnine
banned as a stimulant after winning the bronze in the mens
69-kilogram division, the Court of Arbitrations anti-doping
division said.
The 22-year-old lifters medal was taken away and he was
kicked out of the games.
Strychnine is a highly toxic drug often used as a pesticide, particularly for killing rodents. However, it also has a long history
in sports doping, used in small doses to tighten tired muscles.
Strychnine was reportedly commonly used in the early years of
the Tour de France to help cyclists survive the demanding rides.
CAS referred the case to the international weightlifting federation for possible further sanctions against Artykov, who could
face a two-year ban from the sport. The federation and the IOC
were asked to decide on the reallocation of the medal.
Luis Javier Mosquera of Colombia is in line to be upgraded
from fourth place to the bronze medal. Chinas Zhiyong Shi won
the gold and Turkeys Daniyar Ismayilov took the silver.
Also Thursday, the arbitration court removed Indian wrestler
Narsingh Yadav from the Rio Olympics and gave him a four-year
suspension.
Yadav had originally escaped a ban over two positive tests earlier this year for the banned substance methandienone after
Indias national anti-doping agency accepted his explanation
that his food or drink had been tampered with.

However, the WorldAnti-Doping Agency disagreed and filed an


appeal to CAS, which ruled that there was no evidence to support Yadavs claim of sabotage.
Yadav had been due to compete Friday in the mens 74-kilogram freestyle class.
Earlier Thursday, weightlifter Izzat Artykov was stripped of his
bronze medal after testing positive, while Moldovan canoeist
Serghei Tarnovschi is provisionally suspended and risks losing
his bronze for a failed test.
Also Thursday, the arbitration court issued final verdicts in the
cases of swimmer Chen Xinyi and cyclist Kleber Ramos.
The 18-year-old Chen, who finished fourth in the 100-meter
butterfly, had previously accepted a provisional suspension
after testing positive for a diuretic. She pulled out of her final
event, the 50-meter freestyle.
After a hearing was held in the case, CAS said she had been formally disqualified and her fourth-place result annulled. The international swimming federation, FINA, was asked to consider any
further sanctions.
Chen tested positive for hydrochlorothiazide, which is listed
by the World Anti-Doping Agency as a specified substance.
Athletes testing positive for those substances can receive reduced
penalties because of the possibility the drug was taken inadvertently.
Ramos, meanwhile, tested positive for the blood-booster EPO
in a pre-games test July 31. He had accepted a provisional suspension on a voluntary basis and did not request a hearing.
CAS said he has now been disqualified and kicked out of the
games. His case was referred to the international cycling body,
which could impose a two-year ban. Ramos competed in the
mens Olympic road race on Aug. 6 but failed to finish.

Olympic brief
U.S. beats France to advance
to womens basketball final
RIO DE JANEIRO The U.S. will be playing for a sixth consecutive gold medal in womens basketball after beating France
86-67, the closest contest of the Rio Games for the Americans.
Diana Taurasi scored 18 points as the U.S. won Thursday
night without the services of Sue Bird. The U.S. turned up its
defense to make up for not being as crisp offensively after routing opponents by an average of 41.7 points.
The Americans, who won their 48th straight game, will play
Spain in the final Saturday.
The U.S. led only 40-36 at halftime but outscored France 258 in the decisive third quarter to finally get some separation
from the team that they beat in the 2012 gold medal game.

Tomas Walsh of New Zealand won bronze.
Dalilah Muhammad kept the U.S. total ticking with gold
in the womens 400-meter hurdles and Ashley Spencer added
a bronze, with another American 1-2 in that race only just

exactly the Olympic record after 10 energy-sapping events.
He finished third in the last event, the 1,500, to win gold
from Frances Kevin Mayer on 8,834 points. Canadas

Eaton has confirmed his status at the dominant decathlete

RIO DE JANEIRO Ashton Eaton retained his title as the


best all-around athlete in the world by tying the decathlon
Olympic record and, within minutes, had stepped back for
track and fields ultimate superstar to take center stage
again.
What more could the now two-time
Olympic champion Eaton do on Thursday
night to get just a sliver of the limelight
that shines so brightly wherever Usain
Bolt goes.
Not much.
Eaton made it back-to-back Olympic
and world titles in the decathlon, an
event the 28-year-old American has ruled
since he rebounded from silver at the
Ashton Eaton worlds in 2011 to claim the next four
major gold medals available. From
throwing, to jumping, to running, Eaton can do it all.
But then Bolt the Jamaican who just deals in speed

roared around the bend at the Olympic


Stadium to win the 200 meters in 19.78
seconds, completing act two of his
three-part quest for gold and history in
Rio.
The 4x100-meter relay final is all
thats left now between Bolt and an historic triple of three gold medals at three
straight Olympics. Concentrating on
not messing that up for Bolt, a Jamaica
Usain Bolt
team led by Asafa Powell got into the
final, but only finished second in their heat behind Japan.
There was some pressure to make it to the finals, Powell
said, clearly relieved he didnt have to deliver any bad news
to his friend, who was busy preparing for the 200 final.
The American mens 4x100 team qualified fastest for the
relay final with a seasons-best 37.65.
Wednesday delivered an awesome hour for the American
team on the track. By Thursday night, that had evolved into
a pretty great 24 hours.

to win opener

SQUASHING IT

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT

WSF WORLD JUNIORS

Gabriel Morgan, a four-year varsity boys tennis player at Menlo School, competed in the
U.S. Junior Men's Squash World Championships in Poland and helped Team USA to upset
France to capture the bronze medal.The 2016 Menlo grad starts Princeton in September.

TIGERS
Continued from page 11
program at University of Arizona, while
Byrne is on the verge of deciding between
several options in the coming weeks.
Smoot knows she will have her work cut
out for her playing in the powerhouse Pac12 conference that had as many as eight
teams ranking in the top 25 last season,
including Arizona. But on a team that doesnt see too many breakout freshmen, the
dynamic 6-1 outside hitter wants the opportunity to contribute from Day One.
Im working to see the floor as a freshman, Smoot said. Thats the goal.
Smoots commitment to the game was
apparent over the summer. In addition to
playing for Encore, she helped run volleyball camps at the club, based at the Foundry
in Redwood City, for middle school players.
She also had a busy season on the beach
volleyball circuit; among her partners was

current NDB sophomore outside hitter


Kendal Peters, who has swiftly gained notoriety as something of a beach superstar.
Byrnes summer was much of the same,
working camps and dedicating to fitness,
with the exception of not playing beach
volleyball. The 5-11 smasher chooses to
focus on the indoor game, having gotten
out of the beach ranks while the getting was
good, after taking down Smoot in the one
and only time the two have ever competed
on the beach.
Ive beat her once, Byrne said with
Smoot standing right there. The playful
comment set off a dialogue that was as fluid
as the way the two communicate as volleyballers on the court.
It was the most annoying game of my
life, Smoot said, issuing a challenge for a
rematch.
Nah, Byrne said. Im going to take the
win while Im ahead.
The two arent nearly as cavalier towards
the prospect of hanging another state championship banner at Moore Pavilion this
season. While they know when to keep it

Individually speaking, Maggie McDonald


had better start to her 2015 season when she
made her freshman debut for the Menlo
College volleyball team with a 12 kills.
Now a sophomore, the Notre DameBelmont grad put up a more modest total of
four kills in the Oaks' season opener
Thursday. McDonald, however, had to be
more satisfied with the result.
Menlo opened the 2016 NAIA season with
a five-set win 20-25, 25-19, 22-25, 25-20,
15-11 over UC Merced at Haynes-Prim
Pavilion. With the victory, the Oaks got
into the win column over a month earlier
than last season when they dropped their
first 13 matches of the year.
The Oaks had double-digit kills from four
players Thursday, paced by a match-high 14
kills by Maddie Clegg. Although Menlo
scuffled in the front row with a .153 hitting
percentage throughout, the attack produced
a .391 mark in the fifth set. With the decisive Game 5 tied 9-9, the Oaks went on a

three-point run, including a pair of kills by


Moea Kekauoha (12 kills). Then Bailey
Gamez (13 kills) closed out the win with a
kill off a set from Jade Rockwood.
McDonald proved a vital attacker as a
freshman last season leading the Oaks with
189 kills and 2.4 kills per set. During her
senior season at NDB in 2015, the opposite
hitter ranked third on the team in kills
behind outside hitters Katie Smoot and
Tammy Byrne.

loose in between reps at practice, each can


crank up the intensity on a dime.
The Tigers team tends to follow suit,
though the majority of the 12 players on
roster 10 of who are returning from last
season know the drill. Still, NDB has
some big shoes to fill with the graduation
of star libero Katarina Warburton, who
ranked second in the West Catholic Athletic
League last season with 537 digs.
We have a lot of work to do, Agresti said
of replacing Warburton. But we have good
players and defenders stepping in. So Im
confident theyre going to do well.
Kat Ho, a 5-3 junior, headlines a trio of
players who stand to wear the liberos jersey
this season, along with 5-8 senior Gianna
Susa and 5-4 freshman Delaney Walsh. With
this group, Agresti expresses complete confidence.
Agresti said the biggest variable for NDB
going forward is with the Tigers changing
leagues and the overhaul of the entire state
volleyball postseason. NDB will no longer
be in the WCAL, converting to the West
Bay Athletic League this season. Also, the

California Interscholastic Federation will


be instituting an Open Division for volleyball this season, making the format more
akin to that of football and basketball.
Because of the unknown talent waiting in
a possible date with Open Division destiny,
Agresti is apprehensive about committing
too much confidence towards the possibility of another state title run.
I cant say were going to hang another
banner confidently, Agresti said. I just
dont know how its going to shake out.
Hanging the 2015 state banner is something that will stand forever though. NDB
celebrated the honor in style last season.
Not only did the school hold a championship parade that travelled a course
through all three Notre Dame campuses in
the days following the historic victory.
NDB also held a formal unveiling of the
championship banner at the end of the
school year at a banquet held in Moore
Pavilion.
Everyone went nuts, Agresti said. It
was very cool.

Arcade game the target


of New Jersey lawmaker
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. Its an


amusement park staple with a dedicated fan base. But how often does anyone really win at the claw machine?
One New Jersey lawmaker has the
same question and wants the state to
consider more oversight over the
game.
Critics maintain the game is easy
to rig, noting operators can set the
payout odds and control the strength
of the joystick-controlled claw to
determine whether a prize can be
retrieved. They also claim that players rarely capture any of the big
prizes that the games offer.
But industry officials dispute those
claims. They say its in arcades best
interests to have customers win
prizes, because if theyre not getting
anything over time they likely wont
want to play anymore.
Many players admit reservations
but mostly put them aside because its
a lot of fun, and most say they have
won something usually a stuffed
animal or small toy.
Among them are Margie Torres, of
Camden, and her 11-year-old son,
Rafael Hernandez, who agree that
winning seems impossible at times.
As they fed dollar bills into
machines at an Atlantic City arcade
during a family outing, Rafael said he
knew he was facing long odds in his
bid to claim a big prize.
Its impossible to get because
when it goes, it grabs it, and when it
picks it up, right when it hits the top,
it just drops, the boy said while trying to win a GoPro camera, eventually leaving empty-handed.

TheClaw Game, an arcade staple in


which players try to grab, carry and
drop prizes into a chute with a giant
metal claw. One New Jersey
lawmaker is looking to see if the
games are, in fact, rigged.
The claw and crane games are ubiquitous at the Jersey shore, and amusement parks, movie theaters and even
retailers nationwide. Players say they
are lured by the challenge and thrill of
snaring a prize big or small.
New Jersey state Sen. Nicholas
Scutari recently introduced legislation calling for more oversight of the
claw game, which he feels targets
young children who think they can
easily snatch a big prize.
No hearings have been scheduled.
Most states consider the claw
machines games of chance and specifically exempt them from gambling
statutes, as long as they comply with
certain rules specific to those states.
The claw games in New Jersey are
already regulated by the states
Legalized Games of Chance Control
Commission , which oversees the
amusement industry. Its inspectors
make the rounds at arcades, boardwalks, fairs and carnivals across the
state to ensure games are being operated fairly and standards are met.

MadBums blast highlights MLB may consider


Giants 17 hits to top Mets limits on pitching
changes and shifts
By Michael Wagaman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO Madison Bumgarner


hit a go-ahead two-run homer off Jacob
deGrom in the fourth inning moments
after giving up a grand slam and the
Giants came back from four runs down to beat
the New York Mets 10-7 Thursday night.
Bumgarner, who narrowly missed a home
run in his first at-bat, hit a 2-2 pitch into
the stands in left field to
cap a five-run inning
when the Giants batted
around.
It
was
Bumgarners third home
run this season and the
14th of his career.
That helped overcome a
shaky outing by San
Franciscos
four-time
Madison
All-Star. Bumgarner (12Bumgarner
7) allowed four runs over
five innings and struck
out six.
New York had taken a 40 lead in the fourth on
Justin Ruggianos second
career grand slam in his
first game back off the
disabled list.
The highly anticipated
Eduardo Nunez matchup between pitchers with two of the five
lowest ERAs in the majors wound up being a
slugfest.
San Francisco and New York combined for
17 runs and 30 hits.
DeGrom (7-6) had allowed only two
earned runs over his previous 27 2-3
innings before giving up career-highs in
runs (8) and hits (13). He struck out five and
walked one in losing to the Giants for the
first time in four starts.

Giants 10, Mets 7

Eduardo Nunez had four hits and three


RBIs for San Francisco, Brandon Crawford
and Denard Spann added three hits apiece
while Joe Panik drove in two runs.
Six Giants pitchers combined to retire the
final 12 batters. Santiago Casilla worked
the ninth for his 28th save.
San Francisco ended a four-game losing
streak and pulled within one-half game of
the first-place Dodgers in the NL West. Los
Angeles lost to Philadelphia earlier
Thursday.
Travis dArnaud and T.J. Rivera had two
hits apiece for the Mets.
New York scored three times in the sixth
to pull within 8-7 then loaded the bases
with two outs in the seventh before Derek
Law got Ty Kelly to ground out.
Buster Posey hit a two-run double in the
eighth to give the Giants breathing room.

Rare air
Bumgarner is the second pitcher in the
modern era to allow a grand slam then hit a
go-ahead home run in the same inning,
according to EliasSports. Hal Jeffcoat did it
with the 1957 Cincinnati Reds.

Trainers room
RHP Matt Cain was placed on the 15-day
DL with a lower back strain. RHP Cory
Gearrin was activated off the DL.

Up next
Mets left-hander Steven Matz (9-8), who
took a no-hitter into the eighth inning of
his most recent start on Aug. 14, faces the
Giants for the second time in his career.
Johnny Cueto (13-3) pitches for San
Francisco looking to end a six-game winless stretch.

By Ronald Blum
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

HOUSTON Limiting pitching changes,


restricting defensive shifts, altering the strike
zone and installing pitch clocks are among
the ideas Major League Baseball may consider
as it undertakes a multiyear review of the game
that could include the sports most radical
changes in decades.
Baseball owners were given a lengthy presentation Thursday during their quarterly meeting of how the sport has changed in the past
40 to 50 years.
Sometimes baseball fans think about what
should happen with the game sort of with an
artificial construct, that the choice is between
preserving The Game, as it came down originally from the mountain, and making some
changes
to
that
game, baseball
Commissioner Rob Manfred said.
The point of the conversation today was
that the game has changed dramatically. Its
changed organically. It kind of has flowed
where the competitive juices of managerial
and general managerial decisions have taken
it. And the question is, you take a snapshot
after 40 years of that and you say, wow, heres
what it looks like, heres what it used to look
like and should we be thinking about what has
occurred and whether we want to allow it to
continue to go on on the path its on?
If implemented, some of the changes could
be the most revolutionary since the AL adopted the designated hitter in 1973 or perhaps
even since the number of balls for a walk was
reduced from five to four in 1889.
I think its kind of ridiculous. It changes
the game completely, Orioles reliever Brad
Brach said before Baltimore hosted Houston

LLWS roundup
Panama beats Mexico in
opening game of 70th LLWS
SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. Joaquin
Tejada allowed only one hit and struck out
nine in 4 1/3 innings, Carlos Gonzalez had
three RBIs and Panama beat Mexico 10-2 on
Thursday in the opening game of the 70th
Little League World Series.
Gonzalez hit a 2-out RBI single to left
field in the third inning to give Panama a 10 lead. Two pitches later, Esmith Pineda
hammered a 3-run home run to right-center
field for a 4-0 lead. Gonzalez hit into a double play in the fifth but Tomas Sarmiento
scored to extend Panamas lead to 5-2.
Gonzalez also came on in relief and struck
out four in 1 2/3 innings.
Mexicos first hit was in the fourth inning
when Victor Juarez singled home a run to
pull to 4-1. He later scored on a wild pitch.
Mexico starter Patricio Juarez struck out 12
in five innings.
Panama scored five runs in the sixth
inning on a passed ball, wild pitch and
two RBI singles.

Australia beats Italy behind


strong pitching performance
SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT, Pa Clayton
Campbell pitched five scoreless innings and
had one RBI to help Australia beat Italy 3-1 on
Thursday night in the Little League World
Series.
Campbell threw 66 pitches and had seven
strikeouts for the Sydney team.
The start was delayed briefly due to weather
but in the second inning, Ryley Gonzalez gave
Australia a 1-0 lead with a RBI single. Campbell
hit a RBI grounder past the third baseman in the
third and Harrison Wheeldon hit a bases-loaded
single off the glove of the shortstop in the
fourth for a 3-0 lead.
Italys Samuele Gamberini broke up a combined no-hitter in the sixth with a two-out single. Tommaso Adorni drove it up the middle to

on Thursday night.
Orioles catcher Matt Wieters wasnt too
enthused, either.
I dont like things that would actually
change the way the game is played. If you
make the game shorter without changing its
integrity, Im all for it. But the things that are
being talked about can mess with the integrity, he said.
Offense dropped steadily after the start of
drug testing in 2003 until an uptick started in
the second half of last season. Strikeouts have
set records annually for much of the past
decade, increasing from an average of 12.74
per nine-inning game in 2006 to 15.57 this
season.
And the average time of a nine-inning game
is exactly 3 hours Manfred highlighted that
Game 7 of the 1960 World Series took 2:36 for
Pittsburghs 10-9 win over the New York
Yankees.
Manfred acknowledged some of the
increased length was caused by added TV commercials.
We did not and we are really not at the point
of making recommendations or having the
owners make decisions about what if any
changes are necessary, Manfred said.
I think when you have sort of a new administration, its a good time to take a really hard
look at the product. I think there are pieces to
this project that are not yet complete, including figuring out what are fans are seeing, what
they like, what they dont like in a more comprehensive way than weve done in recent
years, having interactions with the other
stakeholders in the game, the ESPNs, the
Foxes, the Turners, our big partners, and sharing with them how we see the product and getting their reaction, he said.
put runners on the corners and Gamberini scored
on a passed ball to make it 3-1. Italy had runners
on first and second, but Wheeldon closed it with
a strikeout.
It was Australias first win in a LLWS opener.

Tennessee walks off


with win over Oregon
SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT, Pa Robert
Carroll hit a walk-off, two-run double with
two outs in the sixth inning and
Goodlettsville, Tennessee rallied past Bend,
Oregon 3-2 on Thursday night in the Little
League World Series.
Tennessee started the sixth with two
straight hits to put runners on second and
third. After a fielders choice loaded the
bases with one out, Oregon starter Zack
Reynolds was replaced by Bowen Nelson due
to a pitch limit. Nelson struck out his first
batter but Carroll drilled a shot that glanced
off the glove of the right fielder.
Tennessee will face Endwell, New York on
Sunday.
Reynolds gave Oregon a 2-0 lead in the
third inning with a two-run triple. He held
Tennessee to just one run through five
innings.
Tanner Jones put Tennessee on the board
in the third with a homer over the centerfield wall. Starter Zach McWilliams pitched
a complete game on 85 pitches and struck
out nine.

New York tops Rhode Island


SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. Ryan
Harlost had three hits, four RBIs and pitched
five scoreless innings to help New York
beat Rhode Island 7-2 on Thursday in the
70th Little League World Series.
Harlost finished a single shy of the cycle.
He sliced a three-run home run to left field
in the first inning for a 3-0 lead. In the second, Jude Abbadessa hit a two-out, two-run
single and later scored on Harlosts triple to
right field. Harlost had a bloop double in the
fifth, but two Rhode Island relievers combined to strike out three to end the inning.

New Ben-Hur stands in


shadow of Wylers 59 epic
By Sandy Cohen
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Remaking a film that won 11


Academy Awards invites
inevitable comparison, but the
latest adaptation of Ben-Hur
distinguishes itself from
William Wylers 1959 epic by
retooling key character and

story elements. Its still a big,


biblical-era tale of power, loyalty and vengeance, only refocused through rose-colored
lenses with an eye toward
appealing to the lucrative
faith-based audience.
Produced by the power couple behind The Bible miniseries, Mark Burnett and Roma

Downey, this Ben Hur is


like an abbreviated, more
Christ-centered take on
Wylers film. It boasts similar
sweeping desert landscapes,
well-dressed Roman armies
and heart-pounding equestrian
action. Some shots pay clear
homage to the Oscar-winning
classic. The violence here is

far more graphic, thanks to


modern special effects (and
sensibilities). This film is also
an hour and 40 minutes shorter than Wylers epic (thank
goodness).
But where Wylers version is
ultimately about family and

Written in 1935 during the depths of the Great


Depression, Clifford Odets Waiting for Lefty is still
timely.
Stanford Repertory Theater is giving the play a compelling production with issues that resound today, especially in this election year.
The plot revolves around members of a New York taxi
drivers union trying to decide whether to strike for better
pay.
Their needs are illustrated in a series of situations such as
the dire financial straits that are fraying the marriage of
driver Joe (Austin Caldwell) and his wife, Edna (Tess
McCarthy).
Young Florrie (Fiona Maguire) and her longtime fiance,
driver Sid (Andre Amarotico), cant afford to get married
even though theyre deeply in love. Neither man can find
another job because of the Depressions sky-high unemployment rate.
Other issues of the time are illustrated by Miller (Dante
Belletti). Hes a lab assistant who refuses a lucrative offer
by his boss because it involves keeping watch on a colleague developing poison gas, which he opposes on moral
grounds, so he loses his job.
A talented physician, Benjamin (Levi Jennings), not
only sees a less competent but well connected doctor take
over one of his charity patients, who ultimately dies, but
also loses his job because the profit-hungry hospital is
closing its charity ward. His being Jewish is a factor, too.
Odets pushes lots of buttons in this polemic. However,
theyre buttons that still need to be pushed given the profound income inequality that prevails today, along with the
erosion of unions, the role of money in health care and prejudice against minorities.
Director Marty Pistone and his nine-member cast stage a
taut, one-act production that runs just under 55 minutes, but
it still packs a wallop.
Waiting for Lefty will continue through Aug. 21 in the
Nitery Theatre, Old Union, Lasuen Mall, Stanford. For tickets and information call (650) 725-5838 or visit www.stanfordreptheater.com.

MUSEUM GOTTA SEE UM

SENIOR CORRESPONDENT

ART OF RES ILIENCE AND


IDENTITY INSTALLATIONS &
S CULPTURE B Y JUDY S HINTANI, AT THE PENINS ULA
MUS EUM
OF
ART
IN
BURLINGAME. What does the past
mean to us today and how does uncovering hidden stories help us shape a
future of fairness and inclusion? That
is the principal question posed by
Japanese-American
artist
Judy
Shintani in her current exhibition for
Peninsula Museum of Art. Shintanis
work addresses the imprisonment of
Japanese-Americans during World War
II, bringing to light memories,
repressed emotions and current feelings about this period in U.S. history.
Her sculptural pieces include reclaimed
wood and barbed wire, illuminated
lanterns and deconstructed kimonos.
Shintani was born in Ames, Iowa, to
a mother from Honolulu, Hawaii, and a
father from Poulsbo, Washington. Her
fathers family lost their oyster farming business when they were taken to
Tule Lake Incarceration Camp in the
1940s. Her mother saw the bombers
flying overhead on their way to attack
Pearl Harbor. Her family ended up in
the Central Valley of California where
her mother was the first AsianAmerican elementary school teacher in
Lodi, and her father worked in television broadcasting. Shintani grew up in
a small and mostly Caucasian town,
before moving to the Bay Area for college. Years later she began exploring
her roots and family history.
Shintanis
newest
series,
Illuminations, expresses the personal reflections of the Sansei the
generation born to those who were
incarcerated. Shintani surveyed them,
asking questions such as How does
this history affect your life and what
would you like to ask your family
members about their experience? She
quickly received over 200 responses.
It became apparent that this third generation of Japanese-Americans has
much to say on the topic.
Shintani said: In a world where discrimination continues to be widespread, there is a danger of repeating
the past. Alarmingly, the American
Incarceration Camps of 70+ years ago
have come to the forefront as a solution to the immigrant and refugee crisis now facing the U.S. ... Making art
about the incarceration is healing for
my family, my ancestors, my culture
and me.
In addition to making art, Shintani
owns and runs the Kitsune Community
Art Studio in an old dairy barn in Half
Moon Bay. She is a member of the
Asian American Womens Artist
Caucus and on the board of the
Northern California Womens Caucus
for Art.

CLEAR TO LAND AT BURNING
MAN: HILLER AVIATION TELLS
AB OUT B LACK ROCK CITY
MUNICIPAL AIRPORT. Once a
year, Black Rock City Municipal
Airport (88NV) exists for one purpose:
to support the massive counter-culture
Burning Man festival which draws
about 70,000 people to this inhospitable dry lake bed for a week of exuberant, over-the-top partying. In
anticipation of this now fabled event,
Hiller Aviation Museum hosts Michael
Squeeze Box Kovach-Long to talk
about the place and the planes that land
there.
While the landing strip is unusual,
the airplanes tied down on the ramp at
Black Rock City are typical of those at
many small airports. They range from
two-seat trainers (Cessna 152s and
Diamond Katanas) to twins (Cessna
310s and 340s) and turboprops

(Pilatus PC-12s, Kodiak and Cessna


Caravan). Cessna 182s are the most
numerous, followed by Bonanzas and
Cirrus SR22s. Backcountry airplanes
are well represented with Cessna 170s,
180s, 185s and Super Cubs.
Experimental models are there, too,
with the RV series the most numerous,
as well as Kit Foxs, and Air Creation
trikes. Even jets, a CJ1, and a Lear 35,
land during the event, drop off passengers, and depart in billowing clouds of
dust.
Burning Man culminates in the fiery
destruction of a series of massive
wooden art structures. Then the airport, just like Burning Man itself, disappears without a trace. KovachLongs talk, scheduled for 11 a.m.
Saturday, Aug. 20, included with

Lemon juice makes chicken and potato bake a breeze


By Melissa dArabian
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Autumn might be the official season of the


one-pot wonder. Kids are back in school, the
office watercooler gets crowded as we trickle
back from summer vacations, and suddenly
dinnertime feels like more of a time-squeeze.
Busy lives need quick meals that dont
require a ton of prep, crazy ingredients or
lots of dishes because the last thing I want to
do after a long day of work, kids activities
and homework-checking is a counter loaded
up with dishes.
Baked dinners are a classic weeknight
solution, but how to make one that is
healthy, flavorful, and easy? This basic
chicken and potato bake is so simple, you
might breeze right past the recipe.
But the trick is: lots of lemon juice. Half a
cup sounds like a ton, but its what makes the
chicken super flavorful in just minutes. The
high acid level gets right into the chicken
and tenderizes it, and yet as it bakes, the acid

escape, Judah befriends a horseman who


insists he exact vengeance against Messala
during the celebrated Roman chariot race.
The action of that horse race is just as
thrilling and exquisitely choreographed as
any present-day movie car chase. Its as
intense as Wylers, though more visceral.
Advances in filmmaking and animal training mean the falls are more dramatic and the
injuries more gruesome and vivid.
The sprawling sets of Roman amphitheaters and hillside villages are as sumptuous
here as in Wylers film, but somehow less
magnificent. In the age of the Hunger
Games and ever-present CGI, massive scale
just doesnt have the impact it once did.
Beyond that basic framework, the writers
have taken many creative liberties with the
source material. Theres no yearning
romance between Judah and Esther (Nazanin
Boniadi) as in the original story or even
between Judah and Messala, as in the 1959

film. Judah and Esther are married early in


the first act of this Ben-Hur, and theres
none of the homoerotic hinting Charlton
Hestons Judah and Steven Boyds Messala
shared in Wylers film. Here, the mens
brotherly bond trumps romance.
The role of Sheik Ilderim, which won
Hugh Griffith a supporting actor Oscar, was
expanded here for Morgan Freeman.
Unfortunately, the characters humor was
removed in the process. A welcome addition
to any cast, Freeman is out of place in this
flatly drawn part, and not just because hes
the only one who doesnt use a British
accent. Why do characters in biblical dramas speak with British accents, anyway?
Speaking of creative liberties, Messala
follows an unexpected trajectory here that
exists neither in the original novel or Wyler
adaptation. To say more would be a spoiler.
The music that plays such a significant
role as to be a character itself (and an

Academy Award winner) in Wylers BenHur fades into the background here, save
for Andra Days original song The Only
Way Out, which plays over the closing
credits.
This film bests other recent biblical dramas with more inclusive casting. Besides
Freeman, there are several other actors of
color, though Judah and Messala are both
played by white Britons. Ridley Scotts
2014 biblical epic Exodus: Gods and
Kings, which similarly pits brother
against brother, was widely criticized for its
overwhelmingly white cast.
The message here, though, is a good and
timely one, coming straight from Jesus:
Lay down your arms and love your enemy.
Ben-Hur, a Paramount Pictures release,
is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture
Association of America for sequences of
violence and disturbing images. Running
time: 124 minutes. Two stars out of four.

tang. The second trick to this dinner-in-apan is a super quick turn in the microwave for
some baby potatoes (Note: you can cube up
larger potatoes if you dont have tiny ones).
Im using boneless skinless chicken
breast, but you can use pork chops (bone-in
recommended) or even fish. My weeknight
strategy: pop this pan into the oven, toss
together a green salad, and set the table while
the chicken cooks. Easy, healthy, and even
comforting in a fall-night sort of way.

Big-eyed squid looks more toy than animal


By Alina Hartounian
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

A team of scientists and technicians


scanning the rocky ocean floor off
Southern California couldnt contain
their excitement when they spotted a
bright-purple, googly-eyed stubby
squid.
They let out a collective whoa on
video posted on the Exploration Vessel
Nautilus Facebook page as a camera on
a remote-operated vehicle came across
the iridescent cephalopod with giant
round eyes.
Then the jokes started. He has weird
eyes! said one enthusiastic observer.
Get close! Get close! urges another.
One suggested it resembled a childs
dropped toy, and another said the creatures eyes appeared to be painted on.
It looks so fake, says one member
of the Nautilus team.
The creature looks like a cross
between a squid and an octopus but is
closely related to a cuttlefish, accord-

are vying alongside Shawn Mooney, a
property tax auditor, for the four-year
seat.
The two-year seat is sought by Brian
Rogers, a technology business owner
who ran unsuccessfully in 2014; and
Ed Laderas, a biologist and chair of the
local chapter of the nonprofit Surfrider
Foundation who narrowly lost the
2014 appointment to the board.
Brandon Kwan, a marine consultant
and ecologist, qualified to run but
recently withdrew from the election,
according to the elections office.
Three seats are open in the South San
Francisco Unified School District race,
the deadline for which was extended
when current Board Clerk Judith Bush
opted not to run and appointed-incumbent John Baker initially appeared to
have decided to sit this one out.
Although incumbents cannot file during the extended deadline for their
existing position, Baker qualified this
week for a two-year seat.
Baker, an infrastructure grant analyst, will now run against Scott
Grindy, San Franciscos harbor master
and manager who formerly worked for

ing to the Nautilus Live website.
The find could be more than just
bemusing.
In addition to the googly-eyed cuteness, there is one thing biologically
interesting about this observation,
the local harbor district.
Two four-year terms on the school
board are officially uncontested and
will be filled by appointed incumbent
Daina Lujan, a Millbrae elementary
school principal; and Patricia Murray,
whos previously sought a position on
the school board having run in 2014
and applied for the position Lujan was
appointed to earlier this year.
The Peninsula Health Care District
Board has two openings and two newcomers came forward this week since
appointed incumbent R. Cameron
Emmott pulled papers but did not qualify by Fridays deadline.
Incumbent Ricardo Navarro, a physician whos been on the board since late
2004; will run against Frank Pagliaro,
an attorney and businessman; and
Stephen Duncan, a retail manager who
previously ran for Burlingame City
Council in 2013.
Candidates for other races were set
last Friday when the filing deadline
closed.
Positions include the 14th and 18th
district in the U. S. House of
Representative, the 22nd and 24th districts in the state Assembly, the 13th
District in the state Senate, the Board
of Supervisors District 5 seat and two
seats on the Sequoia Health Care
District. Uncontested races include
er in the nine-county region.
The Bay Areas median sales price
was $700,000, down 1.4 percent from
an all-time high of $710,000 but down
6.3 percent from $658,500 in July
2015. It ended a three-month run of
setting new highs for the region.

said cephalopod expert Michael


Vecchione of the Smithsonian
Institution. The creature could be a new
species, he wrote in an email to the
expedition.
It was spotted at nearly 3,000 feet
deep, which is unusual, but not unheard
of. But, on top of that, the stubby squid
didnt have chromatophores, cells that
allow it to change color, as members of
its species do, Vecchione said.
The question cant be answered
because this particular stubby squid
remains deep in the ocean, out of scientists reach.
The Nautilus team is part of a fourmonth Ocean Exploration Trust expedition to map underwater fault zones from
Canada to California and understand
ecosystems around them.
The team spends hours scanning the
barren ocean-scape, then to come
across something adorable like that
its a real treat, Exploration Vessel
Nautilus spokeswoman Susan Poulton
said.
four trustees with the County Board of
Education and three positions on the
Hillsborough City Council.

Sales taxes
and money for schools
Countywide voters will consider a
20-year extension of the half-cent
sales tax known as Measure A.
Belmont is seeking to institute a new
half-cent sales tax for the next 30
years.
Redwood City residents will be
asked to extend and increase a parcel
tax supporting the Redwood City
Elementary School District, and the
Burlingame
Elementary
School
District is seeking a $56 million
bond.
Citizens initiatives in Burlingame
and San Mateo seek to institute tenant
protection measures such as capping
rents at the consumer price index and
preventing evictions without just
cause.
San Mateo voters will also be asked
whether the citys charter should be
amended to allow officials to consider
merging fire departments with
Belmont and Foster City.
Visit the San Mateo County
Elections Office website shapethefuture.org for more information.
Southern California recorded 21,705
home sales in July, down 11.3 percent
from a month earlier and down 10.7
percent from July 2015, CoreLogic
said. The median sales price in the sixcounty region was $465, 000,
unchanged from June and up 6.2 percent from $438,000 in July 2015.

FEES
Continued from page 1
Both San Mateo and Foster City are part
of the countywide 21 Elements Nexus Study,
which was sparked in response to the
regions affordability crisis and examined
the connection between new construction
and housing demands.
San Mateo councilmembers gathered
Monday during which the housing crisis
was a top subject as officials and the community discussed linkage fees, new developments and controversial tenant protection measures slated for the November ballot.
Despite divides in other areas, there was
broad consensus by the council and community that commercial developers adding
jobs should also contribute toward housing
goals.
Its something that I think has been a
long time coming and will enable the city
to generate some revenues that are specifically targeted for building affordable housing, something we have been lacking for
many years, Councilman Rick Bonilla
said.
The council approved charging new commercial projects of more than 5,000 square
feet; the ordinance requires a second vote
before going into effect 60 days later. The
fees per square foot would be $10 for hotel,
$5 for retail and $25 for office.

$400M
Continued from page 1
Developments near transit stops would need
to set aside at least 10 percent of units.
Browns proposal was aimed at quickly
increasing the supply of housing. But it left
some neighborhood activists furious at the
prospect of losing a voice in approving
construction that they fear will change the
character of their communities, and it
angered some labor unions.
Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon, DParamount, said I believe its over.
Its my understanding that there havent
been discussions in at least two weeks, he
said. Californias legislative year ends Aug.

Friday Aug. 19, 2016

The council is also making exemptions


for public use facilities such as hospitals,
nonprofits, schools or child care centers.
It would create a two-tiered system whereby developers could receive a 25 percent
discount if they pay higher wages to workers actually constructing the project.
Generally, any added cost to construction negatively trickles down to the workers building the project, having said that,
we do understand the critical need for affordable housing in San Mateo County and we
also understand there is no one solution to
resolving this, therefore we support the
two-tier impact fee, said James Ruigomez,
second vice president of the San Mateo
County Central Labor Council.
The fees will be adjusted annually to keep
up with inflation and staff contemplated
how much the proposed law could generate.
When not considering rare large-scale projects like Bay Meadows, the last five years
accounted for construction worth $3.5 million in linkage fees, said the citys Housing
Manager Sandy Council.
Foster City officials also contemplated
how much their proposed fees could generate.
The Foster City Council directed staff to
prepare a draft ordinance that would include
charging per square foot at rates of $10 for
hotels; $5 for retail, restaurants or services;
and $22 for office space.
The city considered these types of fees
about a year ago but didnt take action.
Although the city missed an opportunity to
collect from one redevelopment, other proj-

ects remain in the pipeline.


To me, were a year behind where we
should have been. It doesnt solve all of the
affordable housing issues, but its still a
good start, said Councilman Gary Pollard.
Theres a significant amount of office
redevelopments slated for the coming
years, most notably Gilead Sciences campus expansion. The biopharmaceutical
company also owns the Chess Hatch office
complex, which is entitled for an increase
in square footage. Depending on when redevelopment occurs on Gileads properties, as
well as a vacant Visa-owned site and a smaller dental office, Foster City could see close
to $33 million in commercial linkage fees,
according to a staff report.
With stuff already in the pipeline, it
would have a significant impact on future
budgets for the ability to build below market rate housing, said Mayor Herb Perez.
A big piece of the ultimate puzzle is what
cities will choose to do with their affordable
housing funds. With land at a premium,
some question whether it would be a benefit
to support nonprofit housing builders who
could bundle funds from multiple cities.
Perez and Pollard agreed using Foster
City-generated funds within the city itself
should be a priority, particularly as the
agreement for 75 existing housing units to
be offered as below market rates is slated to
expire in the coming years.
But with a group of residents opposed to
additional units being approved in Foster
City until the impacts of already-approved
construction are realized, the councilmen

acknowledged the community should consider being at least part of the regional solution.
Im excited to have a sophisticated conversation with the community about housing needs, the balance and the part we need
to play, Perez said. To say we dont have
to be part of the solution is not responsible
government.
The San Mateo City Council also stopped
short of committing its commercial linkage
fees outside city limits. Instead, depending
on how much is generated the council can
offer funds to nonprofits such as the
Housing Endowment and Regional Trust, or
HEART, of San Mateo County; or the Human
Investment Project, commonly known as
HIP Housing.
Evelyn Stivers, executive director of the
Housing Leadership Council of San Mateo
County, spoke during San Mateos council
meeting. She noted the regional problem
could benefit from cities contributing to
projects that may be in neighboring jurisdictions.
Theres three things you need to get an
affordable housing development off the
ground. You need land, a good site; money,
which were talking about tonight; and
community support. One of the challenges
we often have is well have two but not all
three, Stivers said, noting they could partner with Foster City which may have money
but no land. Leverage the funds with neighboring jurisdictions to make development
happen on a shorter timeline.

31, so any compromise must be approved


by lawmakers before then.
He added in an interview with The
Sacramento Bee that linking the funding
has sort of backed us into a corner.
Housing groups announced last week that
they were walking away from talks with the
Democratic governor. In a letter this week,
they urged Brown, Rendon and Senate
President Pro Tem Kevin de Leon, D-Los
Angeles, to provide the $400 million anyway.
With little time remaining in the
Legislative session and no real prospect of
a deal, we must ask you to release the funds.
Please do not penalize our states most vulnerable residents for the failure to reach
agreement on the streamlining proposal,
said the letter signed by officials from more

than two dozen community and social justice groups.


The budget deal says that if no agreement
is reached, the Legislature can devote the
money to other priorities, but lawmakers
would still need the governors sign-off.
Rendon said he would like to commit at
least $150 million to affordable housing.
A spokesman for Brown, Evan Westrup,
did not immediately respond to a request for
comment Thursday. A spokesman for de
Leon, Anthony Reyes, declined to comment.
Rendons declaration Thursday marks the
latest concession in a string of legislative
letdowns this year. Leaders have already
lowered expectations on reaching a deal to
extend Californias climate change mandate
to lower carbon emissions through 2030,

which was to have been one of the


Legislatures signature accomplishments
this year. They also again failed to reach
consensus on funding for a backlog of billions in needed road repairs.
Browns willingness to spend heavily on
housing was seen as a notable concession
for a governor who has been both skeptical
of the value of housing subsidies and eager
to save for a recession he warns is coming.
There was wide opposition to Browns
proposal from dozens of worker, immigrant, environmental and tenant groups
throughout California. They say forcing
development by right is deeply undemocratic, giving real estate interests too much
power over vulnerable residents who could
see their homes razed for retail centers that
lack sufficient affordable housing units.
