KERRY SAYS U.S. IS PREPARED TO TAKE MILITARY
ACTION IN IRAQ
DAILY JOURNAL WIRE REPORT
Nearly 170 victims of child sex trafck-
ing, many of whom had never been reported
missing, were rescued in the last week as
part of an annual nationwide crackdown, the
FBI said Monday.
Six of the victims were children in the
Bay Area, including one in South San
Francisco. The other ve juveniles rescued
during the operation were found in Oakland,
San Francisco, Santa Clara and in undis-
closed locations in Contra Costa and
Alameda counties.
Fourteen separate operations were con-
ducted across all Bay Area counties during
the three-day sweep, according to the FBI.
In addition to rescuing the juveniles
working as prostitutes in the Bay Area, of-
cers from numerous Bay Area law enforce-
ment agencies arrested 13 people on suspi-
cion of pimping and 54 johns soliciting
prostitutes, FBI ofcials said.
Nearly 60 adult prostitutes were also
arrested, according to the FBI.
Nationwide, 168 children were rescued
from the sex trade, and 281 pimps were
arrested during the same period on state and
federal charges.
These are not faraway kids in faraway
lands, FBI Director James Comey said in
announcing the annual enforcement push
known as Operation Cross Country.
Instead, he added, These are Americas chil-
dren.
This is the eighth such weeklong opera-
tion, which this year unfolded in 106 cities.

The immediate threat of mosquitoes infected with West
Nile virus found in North Central San Mateo forced health
ofcials to act quickly Thursday night by successfully fog-
ging a concentrated area.
Some residents raised concerns about only having a few
hours notice before their homes were sprayed in pesticides,
but San Mateo County Mosquito and Vector Control District
ofcials said the threat of a person being infected with the
deadly virus warranted a timely response.
Every night that you know theres a potential mosquito
out there, its just another night that someone can contract
West Nile virus. So the longer you wait, the more the public

For 40 years, Samaritan House has
evolved to attend to those in San
Mateo County who may be sick, hun-
gry, homeless or cold.
Samaritan House started in 1974
with just a handful of people who part-
nered with the city of San Mateo to
serve as a referral program for those in
the county who struggled to afford
basic necessities, said CEO Bart
Charlow, who started this month.
It grew and took off in the 1980s
and became as big as it is today
because people had a lot of needs in the
community that we were able to ll,
Charlow said. Were taking care of all
the basic needs that struggling people
have. We provide food, shelter, cloth-
ing, health care, nancial assistance
and even nancial empowerment pro-
grams, and counseling. And those are
what help people survive not just
today, but get their feet under them in
order to break out of the cycle of
poverty, which is our real goal.
Samaritan House now directly serves
about 12,000 people annually through
its meal programs, food pantry, hous-
ing assistance, worker resource center,
health care clinics, Safe Harbor shelter
and holiday program.
The community service organization
provides crisis intervention and long-
term care, but aims to promote stabili-
ty and security among its clients.
In 1985, John Kelly, whos known
as the father of Samaritan House,
was asked to serve as the executive
director and for 15 years helped foster
an organization that offered direct
services as a way to subsidize county
programs.

Los Angeles street sign
allowed one-minute parking
LOS ANGELES Motorists in Los
Angeles are known to chafe at the
citys confusing parking restrictions
and pricey penalties, but an erroneous
street sign spotted last week had driv-
ers scratching their heads.
The sign said 1 minute parking
and was posted near the intersection of
San Vicente Boulevard and Montana
Avenue. Aphoto of the sign went viral
online, eliciting amusement and out-
rage alike.
Transportation department
spokesman Jonathan Hui confirmed
Monday that the sign was a typo, not
a prank.
Hui says the transit agency didnt
receive a formal complaint about the
60-second parking window, but a staff
member noticed the online chatter and
reported it for repairs.
The faulty sign was replaced Friday
with a 1 hour parking sign.
New agers, neo-pagans
gather to greet solstice
LONDON Self-styled Druids, new-
agers and thousands of revelers have
watched the sun rise above the ancient
stone circle at Stonehenge to mark the
summer solstice the longest day of
the year in the northern hemisphere.
English Heritage, which manages
the monument, says some 36,000 sun-
watchers gathered on the Salisbury
Plain about 80 miles southwest of
London on Saturday. Police say the
event was peaceful with only 25
arrests, mainly for drug offenses.
Couples kissed, dancers circled with
hoops and revelers took part in a mass
yoga practice as part of the free-form
celebrations.
Stonehenge was built in three phas-
es between 3000 B.C. and 1600 B.C.
and its purpose is remains under study.
An icon of Britain, it remains one of
its most popular tourist attractions.

PETALUMA Its that time of year
again when dogs with unusually large
heads, hairless bodies and other oddi-
ties compete to be the Worlds Ugliest
Dog.
This years winner? A 2-year-old
mutt named Peanut, whose wild white
and brown hair, bulging eyes and pro-
truding teeth belie his sweet, energetic
personality.
Although Peanut is healthy now, his
owner, Holly Chandler of Greenville,
North Carolina, says he was seriously
burned as a puppy, resulting in bald
patches all over his body.
Chandler hopes Peanuts victory
will help raise awareness about animal
abuse.

A25-year-old Redwood City resident was

point, Hart said.

one with long hair and a beard and the other
with a shaved head, Hart said.
Around 3:12 a.m. Sunday, another young

In that incident, an 18-year-old Redwood
City resident was walking home near El

men armed with dark handguns approached
him on foot, Hart said. In fear, the victim
got down on the ground as the burglars
pointed the gun at his head and stole his
wallet and cellphone, Hart said. The two sus-
pects were described as between 5 feet 8
inches to 5 feet 9 inches tall with medium
builds. Both were wearing dark hooded
sweatshirts and had their T-shirts covering
their faces, Hart said.
They were last seen eeing on foot west
on Redwood Avenue, Hart said.

SACRAMENTO A San Rafael-based
group that opposes Californias high-
speed rail project filed a lawsuit Monday
contesting the states plan to spend cap-
and-trade pollution money on the $68 bil-
lion project, arguing that building the bul-
let train would create more pollution than it
would reduce for at least a decade.
The Transportation Solutions Defense
and Education Fund filed the lawsuit in
Fresno County Superior Court against the
California Air Resources Board, the state
agency responsible for ensuring California
meets the emissions reduction targets in its
landmark global warming law, AB32.
The suit alleges the board downplayed
the harmful effects on the environment and
exaggerated the potential environmental
benefits of high-speed rail in its scoping
plan, allowing the state to claim the bullet
train will help the state meet its green-
house gas reduction targets.
The suit came just a week after the state
Legislature approved Gov. Jerry Browns
plan to give high-speed rail $250 million
from the states cap-and-trade pollution
fees in the upcoming fiscal year and a quar-
ter of future cap-and-trade revenues. Some
environmental groups initially opposed
the plan.
The lawsuit says the scoping plan relied
almost entirely on the California High-
Speed Rail Authoritys inadequate envi-
ronmental analysis without doing its own
independent analysis and evaluation of
those impacts and their significance as
required under Californias strict environ-
mental laws.
It says the board also failed to consider
the pollution associated with manufactur-
ing the many thousands of tons of cement
that would be needed for the projects con-
struction.
A spokesman for the Air Resources
Board, Stanley Young, said in an email that
high-speed rail has been integral to the
states AB32 plan since it was developed in
2008.
Not only will it be constructed with net-
zero emissions, but it will dramatically
reduce car miles traveled in the state,
Young said.
The California High-Speed Rail
Authority did not respond to a request for
comment Monday. Spokeswoman Lisa
Marie Alley has called the agencys envi-
ronmental review perhaps the most com-
prehensive analysis document ever pre-
pared in California.
The transportation groups president,
David Schonbrunn, said he submitted writ-
ten and oral comments to the air board
about the thousands of tons of cement that
were not accounted for in the plan, but the
lawsuit says ARB failed to respond as
required by law.
The suit also claims the agency is
required to ensure its environmental
assessment considered a reasonable range
of feasible alternatives to reduce the pro-
jects carbon emissions, such as using
fewer raised concrete viaducts, but it did not
do so.
The lawsuit asks the court to order the
ARB to rescind its inclusion of high-speed
rail in the scoping plan and to invalidate
funding for it from the greenhouse gas
emissions reduction fund.
AB32 aims to cut Californias green-
house gas production to 1990 levels by
2020.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
A man suspected of assaulting his acquaintances was

cent commercial building, according to police.

ening injuries during the incident, according to police.
Ricketts was booked into the San Mateo County Jail in
Redwood City on several charges including assault with a
deadly weapon and battery on a police ofcer.

WASHINGTON Thousands of
immigrant children fleeing poverty
and violence in Central America to
cross alone into the United States can
live in American cities, attend public
schools and possibly work here for
years without consequences.
The chief reasons are an overbur-
dened, deeply awed system of immi-
gration courts and a 2002 law intended
to protect childrens welfare, an
Associated Press investigation nds.
Driving the dramatic increases in
these immigrants is the recognition
throughout Honduras, Guatemala and
El Salvador that children who make
the dangerous trip can effectively
remain in the U.S. for years before fac-
ing even a moderate risk of deporta-
tion.
The Obama administration esti-
mates it will catch 90,000 children
trying to illegally cross the Mexican
border without their parents by the end
of the current budget year in
September. Last year, the government
returned fewer than 2,000 children to
their native countries.
The administration has asked
Congress for $2 billion to spend on
the issue.
They almost never go home, said
Gary Mead, who until last year was
director of the Immigration and
Customs Enforcement ofce responsi-
ble for nding and removing immi-
grants living in the country. Its not
a process that ultimately ends in easy
resolutions or clear-cut resolutions.
The situation is widely perceived as
becoming a humanitarian crisis at the
border. The system is now so over-
whelmed that children are being
housed in Border Patrol facilities ill-
equipped to handle them.
The government has asked the mili-
tary to open temporary shelters in
Texas, Oklahoma and California.
U.S. officials, including the
Homeland Security secretary, the
White House domestic policy council
director and the Customs and Border
Protection commissioner have
described immigrant families con-
cerns about education, jobs and per-
sonal safety as driving the rise in bor-
der crossings.
Only recently have officials
acknowledged that perceptions that
these children may be allowed to stay
or that Congress soon may relax U.S.
immigration laws which is highly
unlikely may also be responsible.
The APs investigation, based on
interviews, court records and federal
data, found that such perceptions are
understandable because of Americas
broken system.
That misinformation is causing
some people who are in a rather des-
perate situation to risk their lives to
come to the United States border
expecting that theyll be able to stay
in this country. That is simply not
true, White House spokesman Josh
Earnest said Friday.
Its important for viewers or those
consumers of information in Central
America to understand that showing
up at the border illegally is not a tick-
et into this, he said.

SACRAMENTO The state
Assembly has approved a bill that
would allow new trials for defendants
who are convicted using false or out-
dated expert testimony.
SB1058 passed Monday on a 59-1
vote. It is expected to head to the
governors desk after Senate lawmak-
ers approve amendments.
The bill by Democratic Senator
Mark Leno of San Francisco
responds to a California Supreme
Court decision denying a new trial
for a man who argued that false
expert testimony led to his convic-
t i on.
Republican Assemblyman Brian
Maienschein of San Diego told law-
makers the bill would not guarantee
overturned convictions. Instead, it
allows judge to consider false expert
opinions as a reason for a new trial.
The bill also includes provisions
that protect experts from lawsuits if
they testified in good faith.

Police said in a statement that the ruptured
3-inch plastic line caused a moderate gas
release within the area.
Fire and police contained the site and shut
down trafc near the intersection of Foster
City Boulevard and Triton Drive until the gas
leak was capped around 11:10 a.m.
Buildings within a block of the construc-
tion site were evacuated during the leak as a
precaution, PG&E spokesman Jason King
said.
No one was injured and no property dam-
age was reported.
King said it does not appear that the con-
tractors working at the site Monday morn-
ing called 811 before digging, which he said
is an important step to prevent gas leaks.
The free service gives homeowners and
contractors up-to-date information about
whether underground gas lines are present
and connects callers with utility representa-
tives who can mark any underground lines.
Crash into gas main
next to restaurant causes leak
A car slammed into a gas main next to a
restaurant in Half Moon Bay Monday after-
noon, causing a gas leak and the evacuation
of the business, according to a San Mateo
County sheriffs spokeswoman.
An elderly couple was headed to Barbaras
Fishtrap located at 281 Capistrano Road
when their car veered off of the road and
struck a gas line in some bushes adjacent to
the eatery, sheriffs spokeswoman Deputy
Rebecca Rosenblatt said.
The couple was uninjured but the crash
caused the gas line to rupture and prompted
the evacuation of the restaurant, Rosenblatt
said.
Neighboring residents and businesses
were advised to shelter in place as a precau-
tion as utility crews responded to the leak.
The gas line was capped at 3:23 p.m. and
utility crews remained on scene into the
evening to repair the ruptured main, accord-
ing to PG&E spokesman Jason King.
Rosenblatt said trafc in the area would
likely be affected while the repairs are being
completed.
Crash kills motorcyclist, 24, of Pacifica
A24-year-old motorcyclist was killed after
a crash on a Highway 1 on-ramp in Daly City
on Sunday evening, California Highway
Patrol ofcials said Monday.
Miguel Mallorca, a Pacica resident, was
driving a 2005 Kawasaki Ninja motorcycle
around 7 p.m. on the Sullivan Avenue on-
ramp to southbound Highway 1 near the
interchange with Interstate 280, according
to the CHP.
For an unknown reason, the motorcycle
turned to the left and went off the road and
then became airborne, landing on Highway
1 below, CHP ofcials said.
Mallorca was ejected from the motorcycle,
which became engulfed in ames. Mallorca
was taken to San Francisco General
Hospital, where he succumbed to his
injuries, according to the CHP.
The cause of the crash remains under inves-
tigation by the CHP.
City tells app to stop
auctions of parking spaces
San Franciscos city attorney issued a
cease-and-desist demand Monday to a mobile
app called Monkey Parking, which allows
people to auction public parking spaces that
theyre using to other nearby drivers.
In a letter to Paolo Dobrowolny, the CEO
of the Rome, Italy-based tech startup, city
attorney Dennis Herrera cited a provision in
San Franciscos police code that prohibits
people and companies from buying, selling
or leasing public on-street parking and man-
dates fees of up to $300 for drivers who vio-
late the law.
The warning is the latest attempt by city
government ofcials and state lawmakers
nationwide trying to gure out how to regu-
late Web-based businesses that offer shared
parking, transportation and housing servic-
es using mobile applications. Among the
more popular ridesharing services are Uber
and Lyft, and popular housing apps include
Airbnb.
Herrera has given Monkey Parking until
July 11 to shut down its operations in San
Francisco or possibly face a lawsuit under
Californias Unfair Competition Law.
Herrera added that besides the violations,
Monkey Parkings app encourages drivers to
unsafely use their mobile devices and engage
in online parking bidding wars while behind
the wheel.
Dobrowolny said in an email Monday that
he is talking with his legal staff and didnt
immediately have a specic comment about
the letter.
As a general principle, we believe that a
new company providing value to people
should be regulated and not banned,
Dobrowolny wrote. This applies also to
companies like Airbnb, Uber and Lyft that
are continuously facing difculties while
delivering something that makes users
happy. Regulation is fundamental in driving
innovation, while banning is just stopping
it.

A 23-year-old woman convicted of injur-
ing two children in a 2012 hit-and-run crash
that left them lying in a Millbrae street with
traumatic brain injuries was sentenced to six
months in jail.
Ashika Priya Gosai, of Redwood City, was
also given three years supervised probation
for the Aug. 7, 2012, crash for which a jury
found her guilty of two counts of felony hit-
and-run causing injury.
Gosais defense asked to reduce the
charges to misdemeanors but was denied
before Judge Stephen Hall imposed sen-
tence. Gosai must surrender to the jail on
July 11 and has no credit of time against her
sentence.
The youths Gosai struck, a 16-year-old
girl and 11-year-old boy, ran across El
Camino Real at the Hillcrest Boulevard
intersection against the light and in front of
her vehicle traveling north. Gosai was driv-
ing the speed limit and hit both, sending
them into the air. Gosai did not slow or stop
and drove away.
While a paramedic in the next car over
stopped to help the children, another driver
followed Gosai for a mile until she reached
her cousins house where he confronted her.
The concerned citizens left when Gosais
family came out of the house and she drove
back to the scene and told Millbrae police
she panicked after hitting the children.
The girl suffered mild traumatic brain
injury and the boy was in a coma for nine
days and hospitalized for two weeks. They
continue receiving therapy.
Ajury in April deliberated less than a day
before convicting Gosai.
She remains free from custody pending her
surrender to jail on the condition she not
drive a motor vehicle.

WASHINGTON The Supreme Court
largely left intact Monday the Obama
administrations only existing program to
limit power plant and factory emissions of
the gases blamed for global warming. But a
divided court also rebuked environmental
regulators for taking too much authority
into their own hands without congressional
approval.
The justices said in a 5-4 vote along ideo-
logical lines that the Environmental
Protection Agency cannot apply a permit-
ting provision of the Clean Air Act to new
and expanded power plants, reneries and
factories solely because they emit green-
house gases.
The decision underscores the limits of
using the Clean Air Act to deal with green-
house gases and the administrations
inability to get climate change legislation
through Congress.
The Supreme Court put EPA on a leash
but not in a noose, said Michael Gerrard,
director of Columbia Universitys Center
for Climate Change Law.
It reafrmed that EPAcan regulate green-
house gases, but it can only go so far in
reinterpreting the statute, Gerrard said.
The court invalidated a small corner of a
secondary program. The main event
EPAs proposed rules on existing power
plants remains to be fought another
day.
The EPA and many environmental advo-
cates said the ruling would not affect the
agencys proposals for rst-time national
standards for new and existing power
plants. The most recent proposal aims at a
30 percent reduction in greenhouse gas
emissions from existing power plants by
2030, but wont take effect for at least
another two years.
The justices warned that the regulation of
greenhouse gases is not automatic under
every program of the Clean Air Act as the
administration had assumed it was. Similar
logic is driving the EPAs other actions on
global-warming pollution.
Justice Antonin Scalia, writing for his
conservative colleagues, said EPAcould not
just rewrite the statute to bring green-
house gases under a provision dealing with
expanded and new facilities that would
increase the overall amount of air pollu-
tion. Under the program, companies must
evaluate ways to reduce carbon dioxide
emissions in order to get a permit to build.
Carbon dioxide is the chief gas linked to
global warming.
But by a wider, 7-2 margin, the court pre-
served EPAs authority over facilities that
already emit pollutants that the agency reg-
ulates, other than greenhouse gases.
EPA is getting almost everything it
wanted in this case, Scalia said. He said the
agency wanted to regulate 86 percent of all
greenhouse gases emitted from plants
nationwide, and it will it be able to regulate
83 percent of the emissions under the rul-
ing. Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence
Thomas said they would go farther and bar
all regulation of greenhouse gases under the
permitting program.

NEW YORK The secret U.S. govern-
ment memo outlining the justication for
the use of drones to kill American terror sus-
pects abroad was released by court order
Monday, yielding the most detailed, inside
look yet at the legal underpinnings of the
Obama administrations program of target-
ed killings.
The 41-page memo whose contents
had previously been summarized and
released piecemeal was heavily redacted
for national security reasons, with several
entire pages and other passages whited out.
But it argues among other things that a
targeted killing of a U.S. citizen is permis-
sible under a 2001 law passed by Congress
soon after 9/11. That law empowered the
president to use force against organizations
that planned and committed the attacks.
The release of the memo will allow the
public to better assess the lawfulness of the
governments targeted killing policy and
the implications of that policy, said
Jameel Jaffer, an American Civil Liberties
Union attorney who argued for release of the
memo. Despite the release of this memo,
the public still knows scandalously little
about who the government is killing and
why.

WORLD 8
By Paul Larson
MILLBRAE I
recently read an
article in the trade
journal American
Funeral Director
about the famous
quote by the late
Sir William Ewart
Gladstone, the celebrated English four term
Prime Minister who was known for his
colorful oratories and speeches on the floor
of Parliament. This 19
th
century statesman
was renowned for many unique sayings, but
he is most noted among Funeral Directors
for saying this: Show me the manner in
which a nation cares for its dead, and I will
measure with mathematical exactness the
tender mercies of its people, their respect for
the laws of the land and their loyalty to high
ideals. This quote is very lyrical and well
thought out. It has become a long time
custom for many Funeral Homes to display
this quote on a plaque for all to see. The
meaning is obvious and is a direct
comparison between caring for our fallen
loved ones and the way we care for
ourselves, our community and our society.
To many observers it may appear that
weve lost the motivation to care for our
loved ones in a proper way, and that our
society has become misguided. Taking into
consideration the way our government
leaders sometimes act, without the maturity
to function unselfishly, is disturbing, and the
reasons they got elected can be alarming.
Also, in the eyes of logical people violence
should be against our nature, but seemingly
is embedded in our way of life. It is topsy-
turvy for a culture to view cruelty and tribal
brutality as a form of normality, and for love
to be viewed as an obscenity.
Yes, some say our society is falling apart,
but looking at the overall big picture I see
most people yearning to live a peaceful and
courteous life with those around them. Most
people are not violent. Most people want to
be accepted. Most people want to be happy.
Remember that hate is taught.
Wouldnt it make more sense for love to
be taught? Teaching youngsters to be
curious and to enjoy the differences of
those around them would be a good start.
They say that its hard to teach old dogs new
tricks. But old dogs will not be here forever,
and with effort every young dog could be
cultivated with ideals for supporting others
with respect. Putting this into practice may
seem daunting, but its not impossible and
over time could be valuable for our future.
Humanity has always been burdened with
a good percentage of bad guys. But, all in
all, the ideals that the majority of us value
and strive to promote, life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness, are shared in our core.
Going back to Gladstones quote, I see
the vast majority of the families we serve at
the CHAPEL OF THE HIGHLANDS
deeply committed to doing the right thing
for their loved ones. They come to us with a
desire for closure and to enact final tributes
for those theyve cherished. Whether public
or private their feelings are similar, and
showing one last bit of proper care is their
goal. For me this is a sign of hope, showing
that overall we are a society of good people
with a nature to live in harmony and peace.
If you ever wish to discuss cremation,
funeral matters or want to make pre-
planning arrangements please feel free to
call me and my staff at the CHAPEL OF
THE HIGHLANDS in Millbrae at (650)

Why This Is Important

WHENDIDTHETROUBLESTART?
The answer depends: How far back do you want
to go?
A.D.632:The centuries-old split between the Shia
and Sunni denominations dates to the death of
the Prophet Muhammad and a dispute over who
should succeed him as leader of the Muslims.
Sunnis are the largest branch of Islam. But Shiites
outnumber them in Iraq and make up the
overwhelming majority of neighboring Iran.
1916:Theuneasyborders dividingtheMiddleEast
were set during World War I,when the French and
English divvied up the lands of the defeated
Ottoman Empire with little regard for religious or
ethnic differences. Through wars and upheaval,
the national borders they drew have pretty much
held, largely by the force of autocratic rulers.
2003:AU.S.-ledcoalitioninvadedIraqanddeposed
SaddamHussein,andmayhembrokeout.Saddam
had ruthlessly held the nation together for more
than two decades,favoring his fellow Sunnis while
wiping out multitudes of Shiites and Kurds.
Americans,ush with the fervor that followed the
Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, hoped to replace him
with a friendly democracy. They met waves of
bombings,massacresandkidnappingsinsectarian
ghting that peaked in 2006 and 2007, when
additional U.S. troops began arriving and helped
to temporarily tamp down the violence.

yearsinIraq.AmericansurgedPrimeMinister Nouri
al-Maliki to craft a government that would share
power betweenShiites,SunnisandKurdsandheal
the national wounds. It didnt work out. Sunnis
complain they are excluded, imprisoned and
abused by al-Malikis Shiite-dominated
government. Kurds have focused on building up
their oil-richautonomousenclaveinnorthernIraq.
2013: The situation in Iraq began deteriorating
rapidly. Sunni protesters took to the streets, al-
Qaida-inspired militants stepped up their attacks,
and ghting from Syrias civil war spilled over the
border into Iraq.
WHOARETHOSEGUYS?
The alarming dispatches from Iraq often feature a
jumble of letters new to many American ears:ISIL,
or sometimes ISIS.ISIL stands for the Islamic State
of Iraq and the Levant, a Sunni insurgent group.
Its previous name is more familiar:al-Qaida in Iraq.
ThegroupemergedduringtheIraqWar asamajor
player in the Shiite vs. Sunni violence that
threatened to rip Iraq apart along sectarian lines.
The U.S. State Department classied al-Qaida in
Iraq as a terrorist organization in 2004.
The Sunni group famously blew up one of Shiite
Islams holiest shrines,the golden domed al-Askari
mosque in Samarra, in 2006. It uses beheadings
and videotaped executions to enhance its
reputation for brutality.
Leaders of the core of al-Qaida objected to the
groups attacks on fellow Muslims in Iraq,worrying
that would hurt the larger cause of jihad against
the West.
The Islamic State aggressively moved into Syria in
2013, two years into that countrys uprising. The
group changed its name,clashed with other rebel
factions and eventually had a falling out with the
main al-Qaida organization, which formally
disavowed it in February.
Their nameissometimestranslatedfromArabicas
theIslamicStateof IraqandSyria.That understates
the relatively small groups outsized ambition.
It wants to create an Islamic state ruled by Shariah
law in Iraq and in the Levant,a region stretching
from southern Turkey into Egypt, encompassing
not only Syria but also Jordan and Israel. The
groups extremist brand of Shariah orders women
to stay inside their homes, bans music and
punishes thieves by cutting off their hands.
WHATSTHESYRIANCONNECTION?
As the U.S. was winding down operations in Iraq
in 2011,the Arab Spring protests were underway.
Uprisings forced out the rulers of Tunisia, Egypt,
LibyaandYemen.InSyria,President Bashar Assads
deadly crackdown on demonstrators sparked a
civil war, with no end in sight.
Its a rebellion that reverberates strongly among
Iraqs Sunnis:The Syrian rebels are mostly Sunnis,
ghting a repressive government dominated by
Alawites, an offshoot of Shiite Islam.
The bloodshed in Syria revitalized the agging
Islamic State.
The extremist group joined the ght and began
gatheringnewrecruitsfromamongtheforeigners
pouring in to battle Assad. It set up operations in
Syria that serve as a base for the Iraq campaign. It
took over a swath of Iraqi and Syrian borderland
and turned it into a seedbed for the Islamic States
vision of a caliphate under strict Islamic law.
American intelligence ofcials worry that this
efdomcouldbeusedtotrainjihadiswithWestern
passports to attack the United States.
The United States also wants Assad out of Syria.
But it is limitingassistancetoSyrianrebels toavoid
helping extremists such as the Islamic State.
The groups land grabs, brutality and extreme
religious rules alienated even some of its would-

six months between the Islamic State and other
insurgents has weakened the Syrian opposition.

TheIslamicStatesboldandbloodysweepthrough
northern and western Iraq this year belies its

10,000 ghters, according to U.S. intelligence
estimates.
How could a force that size take Fallujah, site of
the biggest battle of the Iraq War, and capture
Mosul, the second-largest city in Iraq?
For one thing,its the home team.Many residents
of the Sunni heartland prefer the insurgents to al-
Malikis government. That might change later if
the group begins to enforce its Taliban-style
version of Islamic law.
The Iraqi army is awash in corruption,desertion
and battered morale. Many Sunni and Kurd
soldiers and police feel little loyalty to Baghdad;
they balk at ghting and killing their own people.

Iraq at risk: How did we get here so fast?
By Lara Jakes
and Qassim Abdul-Zahra
BAGHDAD Warning of the
existential threat posed by Sunni
militants, Secretary of State John
Kerry said Monday the U.S. is pre-
pared to take military action even if
Baghdad delays political reforms,
noting that the risks of letting the
insurgency run rampant threaten
dangers beyond Iraqs borders.
But he stressed military action
would not be in support of the pres-
ent Shiite-led government of Prime
Minister Nouri al-Maliki.
Kerry, on a few hours visit to
Baghdad, urged Iraqs leaders to
quickly set aside divisions as the
only means of stopping the vicious
Sunni insurgency and said Iraqs
future depended on choices Iraqs
leaders make in the next days and
weeks.
The future of Iraq depends prima-
rily on the ability of Iraqs leaders
to come together and take a stand
united against ISIL, Kerry told a
news conference, using the
acronym for the al-Qaida-break-
away group, the Islamic State of
Iraq and the Levant, that has cap-
tured huge swathes of Iraqi territory
in the north and west.
Not next week, not next month,
but now, he said. It is essential
that Iraqs leaders form a genuinely
inclusive government as rapidly as
possible.
It was a dire warning to leaders of
Iraqs bitterly divided Shiite, Sunni
and Kurdish communities that came
at a time when the Middle Eastern
nation was facing its worst crisis
since the withdrawal of U.S. forces
in late 2011 after eight years in Iraq.
The Sunni ghters have virtually
erased Iraqs western border with
Syria and also taken territory on the
frontier with Jordan.
Noting the dangers the Sunni mil-
itants pose to Iraq and the region,
Kerry said the U.S. was prepared to
take military action if necessary
even before a new government is
formed.
Thats why, again, I reiterate,
the president will not be hampered
if he deems it necessary, if the for-
mation is not complete, he said,
referring to Iraqi efforts to form a
government that bridges the deep
divisions among the majority
Shiites and minority Sunnis, Kurds
and other groups.
Kerry stressed, however, that if
military action is taken
President Barack Obama has said he
is considering airstrikes it has
nothing to do with support for a
specic government.
Its not specically support for
the existing prime minister or for
one sect or another, Kerry said. It
will be against ISIL, because ISILi s
a terrorist organization, and I think
everybody today that we talked to
understood the urgency.
Kerry arrived in Baghdad just a
day after the Sunni militants cap-
tured two key border posts, one
along the frontier with Jordan and
the other with Syria, deepening al-
Malikis predicament.

OPINION 9
Sue Lemperts
take on Common Core
Editor,
I agree with Sue Lemperts column
The Common Core in the June 23
edition of the Daily Journal. Sues
long experience in public education
gives her a rare wisdom about schools
and trends.
Ruben Barrales and I, with our fel-
low county supervisors, started
Redwood City Gareld Charter School
in the mid-1990s. We sought to prove
that poor, minority children with une-
ducated parents could still succeed
academically. We contributed nearly
$2 million for new facilities, added
preschool for all, required parental
and community participation and
measured results.
What we werent able to change was
the low-expectation fad of bilingual
education (Spanish speaking kids
being taught in Spanish). This ambi-
tious charter was only a qualied suc-
cess and after many years returned to
the district. Had we somehow
instilled higher expectations we
might have had greater success.
I now believe a key benet of
Common Core Standards is higher
expectations of teachers, students,
parents and administrators. More than
a fad, it is an important advancement
in our democracy vital public edu-
cation.
Like Sue, I believe Common Core
is a needed and important change to
U.S. public education.

Millbrae audit rotation
Editor,
The GFOA(Government Finance
Ofcers Association) recommends a
city have an auditor rotation every
ve years.
PCAOB, the oversight board to
public companies also states that
mandatory audit firm rotations are
enhancements to objectivity,
independence and professional
skepticism fundamental to the
protection of investors.
In that sense, audit rotations and
getting a new CPAto look at
Millbraes books is protection to the
taxpayers, and is a long overdue
process.
Are the citizens of Millbrae aware
that Maze & Associates has been the
rm performing audit procedures on
the city since 1998? Thats 16 years
without a fresh set of eyes.
The City Council is voting to
renew their contract yet again at the
Tuesday, June 24 City Council meet-
ing. The consent item on the agenda
says they are unable to switch audit
rms because it is too much of short
notice.
To say 16 years is not enough time
to switch CPArms and open a RFP
(request for proposals) is either a con-
sequence of ineptitude, lack of care or
outright collusion with the rm.
All three cases are unacceptable,
and I hope the residents of Millbrae
wake up.

Letters to the editor
By Vincent Merola
T
his past weekend, the College
of San Mateo was incredibly
fortunate to have hosted the
2014 U.S. Paralympics Track and
Field National Championships.
World-class athletes from all over the
country were able to take in the won-
derful views up at 1700 W. Hillsdale
Blvd. and to compete on the colleges
iconic blue track. Watching these ath-
letes perform made me think about
how it is we dene ability and disabil-
ity. Working at a disabilities non-
prot, Im quite familiar with and sen-
sitive to person rst terminology.
Person rst terminology is a com-
mon form of communication among
the disability and culturally compe-
tent communities. Here, as the phrase
suggests, we put the person before the
assumed status. For example, we could
identify someone as having a disabil-
ity; not being disabled. Instead of
saying Brian is schizophrenic, we
would say, Brian is a person with
schizophrenia. With person rst ter-
minology, we are not limiting some-
ones identity to a single status; we
are identifying only one component
of their whole self. As a person, Brian
may like hiking, going to the
movies, reading and hanging out with
friends. All of these activities con-
tribute to what it is that makes Brian
who he is. When we say Brian is
schizophrenic, we are limiting him
to only that one aspect of his total
identity.
There is also another equally sensi-
tive and equally important school of
thought that actually embraces the
disability identity. Here, people dont
see their disabilities as barriers.
Rather, its the barriers that society
creates that limits equal access for
everyone. Some of the barriers that
people using wheelchairs have are
potted sidewalks, limited accessible
housing and limited accessible trans-
portation. These are societal barriers,
not personal ones, which is why
some people identify as being dis-
abled disabled due to the barriers of
society.
There is merit to both schools of
thought. Ultimately, I feel that the
best way to identify someone is to
ask them how they would like to be
identied. However, I am curious
about the meaning of disability.
Disability, by denition, can also
mean the inability to do something.
With societal barriers removed, we are
all capable of doing anything. The
human race is the most adaptive
species in the animal kingdom. Our
universal ability to problem-solve
and reason is what separates us from
all other species. We all have different
and adaptive ways of approaching
life. In that regard, there are no dis-
abilities, only different abilities.
The U.S. Paralympics National
Championships at CSM really exem-
plied this way of thinking. During
this weekends events, visual-impair-
ment was not a barrier for reigning
world champion Lex Gillette when he
took home the gold for the long
jump. Despite spinal bidas deterio-
rative effects on her spine, Tatyana
McFadden, who uses a wheelchair,
won gold in the womens 100 meters.
In April, she won the womens wheel-
chair race at the Boston Marathon for
the second time. One would have been
hard-pressed to see any disabilities at
CSM this weekend. Witnessing the
abilities of all the athletes was truly
awe-inspiring.

at robberies and shooting in a
particular part of town. The
other three must of been less
blessed in the genetics depart-
ment because Meeks is the
only one at the center of
attention.
Oh my goodness, the world
cooed. How could a man like
that be a criminal? Oh, he can steal my heart anytime!
Among the best posts: I would go to prison for aiding
and aBEDding him and What is he guilty of? First degree
sexiness!
Set Meeks alleged crimes and criminal past aside. The
crazy reaction is less about him having the face that
launched a thousand tweets #FelonCrush, seriously?
and more about how nutty and ckle the world can be. Or
rather, some of the folks in it.
The Jeremy Meeks Fan Club is not just individual admir-
ers barely three degrees away from being prison pen pals
and Death Row groupies but also national news agencies.
There is TMZ and Inside Edition but there is also less info-
tainment outlets like television news stations, New York
Magazine and USAToday jumping into the fray. The Daily
Mail in the United Kingdom. Yes, crazy has jumped the
pond. Just yesterday, new reports say a few modeling
agencies claim Meeks can command thousands of bucks
because gangster models are a hot commodity in haute
couture.
Widespread attention to mug shots is nothing new but
usually its because of the celebrity involved. Any number
of B-list DUI shots. Hugh Grants sheepish picture for the
infamous Divine Brown encounter. The super-grinning
former House majority leader Tom DeLay.
Notice often comes too because of irony. The man
arrested for child abuse wearing a worlds best dad T-shirt
or the intoxicated driver sporting a shirt that reads one
tequila, two tequila, three tequila, oor.
Crazy eyes, weird piercings and facial tattoos also
muster some viral trends.
And for his part, Meeks does have plenty of tattoos.
Theres a lovely Crip tattoo on his arm. Some indistin-
guishable images or names on the sides of his neck.
Another image is a teardrop which carries various mean-
ings, including an indication that the bearer has killed
someone. In Meeks case, though, that inky droplet is
right next to a pair of pretty blue eyes in a face that, with
varying degrees, the world seems to nd attractive. He
might not be Americas next top model to everybody, but
compared to the typical mugshot in which often even
the pretty people arent exactly looking their best he
is a treasure.
At Meeks arraignment, reports say his family appeared
but so did television cameras. Acase that wouldnt other-
wise get more than blip on the police blotter is suddenly
the hottest criminal ticket since Justin Bieber and Lindsay
Lohan had their respective run-ins with the law. And for
what? Because hes pretty.
Theres a reason why we save the butteries and swat at
the moths. And theres a grain of truth in the idea that
beauty carries a lot more weight than a stellar personality
or moral compass. Take Meeks resume on paper without
the photo and hes just another poster child for the thug
life. But ash his face and for some the only thing crimi-
nal about him is his level of hotness.
The question is how long cyberspaces newest man
crush will last before being replaced by a piano-playing
cat or celebrity sele. Meeks better enjoy his 15 minutes
of fame because if prosecutors get their way hes looking
at a lot longer time than that behind bars.
If so, maybe hell make a model inmate.

NEW YORK Stocks fell for the
rst time in seven days, ending a run
that had pushed the indexes to all-time
highs, as investors assessed corporate
news.
Chemical company FMC fell the
most in the Standard & Poors 500
index after cutting its earnings fore-
cast for the second quarter due because
its Agricultural Solutions unit per-
formed worse than expected in the
period. General Electric and
Wisconsin Energy both dropped after
announcing acquisitions.
The stock market has climbed
steadily in the last two months amid
signs that the economy has recovered
its momentum after being disrupted by
an unusually harsh winter. Stronger
growth should translate into higher
corporate prots.
The market has had a good run and
it needs to pause, said Peter Cardillo,
chief market economist at Rockwell
Global Capital.
The S&P 500 fell a fraction of a
point, or less than 0.1 percent, to
1,962.61. The index closed at a record
1,962.87 on Friday. The Dow Jones
industrial average dropped 9.82
points, or less than 0.1 percent, to
16, 937. 26. The Nasdaq composite
index edged up 0.64 point, or less
than 0.01 percent, to 4,368.68.
FMC dropped $3.65, or 4.9 percent,
to $71.10 after the company lowered
its earnings forecast for the second-
quarter, saying that the impact of the
cold winter had been much stronger
than it had originally anticipated.
Investors were also watching deal
news that produced both winners and
losers.
General Electric dropped 29 cents,
or 1.1 percent, to $26.68 after agree-
ing to acquire most of the power gen-
eration business belonging to
Alstom, a French company.
Wisconsin Energy fell $1.62, or 3.5
percent, to $45.27 after the company
said that it was buying Integrys
Energy for $5.8 billion.
Intergrys was among the winners.
The companys stock jumped $7.40,
or 12.1 percent, to $68.35 on the
news.

WASHINGTON Sales of previously
owned U.S. homes posted the best monthly
gain in nearly three years in May, provid-
ing hope that housing is beginning to
regain momentum lost over the past year.
The National Association of Realtors
reported Monday that sales of existing
homes increased 4.9 percent last month to a
seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.89 mil-
lion homes. The monthly gain was the
fastest since August 2011, but even with the
increase, sales are still 5 percent below the
pace in May 2013.
Sales appear to be moving up again,
although the increase to date over two
months reverses just a fraction of earlier
weakening, Jim OSullivan, chief U.S.
economist at High Frequency Economics,
said in a research note.
Sales had been dampened by last years
rise in mortgage rates from historic lows
and various other factors including tight
supplies and tougher lending standards.
The median price of a home sold in May
was $213,400, up 5.1 percent from a year
ago.
By region of the country, sales were up
the most in May in the Midwest, an 8.7 per-
cent gain which likely reflected further
catch-up from the severe winter. Sales rose
5.7 percent in the South and 3.3 percent in
the Northeast but showed only a slight 0.9
percent increase in the West.
The number of rst-time buyers remained
stuck near record lows at just 27 percent of
sales in May, down from 29 percent in
April. Analysts expressed concerns about
the scarcity of rst-time buyers, who his-
torically have made up around 40 percent of
the market.
The existing home sales market can
only retain its strength for so long if move-
up buyers cannot nd a rst-time buyer to
purchase their starter homes, said
Stephanie Karol, an economist at Global
Insight.
The level of distressed sales either
foreclosures or short-sales in which the
homeowner has to sell for less than the
value of the mortgage declined to 11 per-
cent of all sales in May, an improvement
from 18 percent of all sales a year ago.
After hitting a recent peak of 5.38 mil-
lion sales at an annual rate last July, sales
started sliding. Potential buyers have been
grappling with a limited supply of houses,
more expensive homes and lending stan-
dards which have been tightened in
response to the housing boom of the past
decade which resulted in millions of houses
going into foreclosure.
Five years into the recovery from a deep
recession that was triggered in part by the
collapse in housing, housing sales have yet
to return to their historic averages. Demand
remains strong for the most expensive
homes but has faltered for starter homes and
those priced for middle class buyers.
The pace of home sales is below the 5.1
million homes sold in 2013 and off the pace
of 5.5 million annual sales that would be
consistent with a healthy housing market.
Lawrence Yun, chief economist for the
Realtors, said because of the weaker start to
sales this year, he expects that sales for the
entire year will be down 3.1 percent this
year to 4.9 million, compared with 5.1 mil-
lion sales of existing homes in 2013,
which had been a 9.2 percent rise from
2012.
Yun said he was predicting a stronger sec-
ond half for sales this year but he said that
would not be enough to compensate for the
weakness at the start of this year, a slow-
down that reected in part a harsh winter.

DETROIT Faulty air bags which
have already led to the recall of millions of
cars worldwide are blamed for a new round
of recalls in the U.S.
The National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration, the governments auto
safety agency, said Monday that BMW,
Chrysler, Ford, Honda, Mazda, Nissan and
Toyota will recall cars sold in places where
hot, humid weather can potentially affect
the air bags.
The older-model cars have air bag ina-
tors that can rupture. If that happens, the air
bags might not work properly in a crash,
and shards from the broken system could y
out and cause injury.
The automakers all have air bag systems
made by Takata Corp., a Tokyo-based sup-
plier of seat belts, air bags, steering wheels
and other auto parts.
NHTSA opened an investigation this
month after getting six reports of air bags
rupturing in Florida and Puerto Rico. Three
people were injured in those cases. It had
estimated 1.1 million vehicles automakers
in the U.S. could be affected, but the total is
likely to climb.
Honda, for example, said it will include 10
states and territories in its recall, including
Texas, Georgia and South Carolina. Honda
says Takata recommended recalling cars in
four places: Florida, Hawaii, Puerto Rico
and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
The government says it wanted to act
quickly in warm states while it continues to
investigate the issue.
Based on the limited data available at
this time, NHTSA supports efforts by
automakers to address the immediate risk in
areas that have consistently hot, humid
conditions over extended periods of time,
the agency said in a statement.

REDWOOD SHORES Software maker
Oracle is buying Micros Systems Inc.,
which provides software and hardware to
the hospitality and retail industries, for
about $5.3 billion.
Oracle Corp. said Monday that it will pay
$68 per Micros share, a 3 percent premium
to the companys $65.77 Friday closing
price.
Shares of Micros gained $1.43, or 2.2
percent, to $67.20 in premarket trading
Monday.
Oracle said the acquisition will extend its
offerings by combining Micros industry-
specific applications with its business
applications, technologies and cloud port-
folio.
Oracle expects the deal to immediate-
ly add to its adjusted earnings. Its stock
climbed 18 cents to $41 before the mar-
ket opened.
Micros board unanimously approved the
transaction, which is expected to close in
the second half of the year.
Oracle is based in Redwood Shores.
Micros Systems is headquartered in
Columbia, Maryland.
Last week Oracle reported fourth-quarter
results that missed Wall Streets expecta-
tions, hurt in part by the devaluation of
Venezuelas currency.

$76 million found for
Golden Gate suicide barrier
SAN FRANCISCO With $76 million in
funding in place, ofcials said Monday they
will consider a long-delayed proposal to
build a suicide-prevention system on the
Golden Gate Bridge.
The Golden Gate Bridge Highway and
Transportation District announced that its
board of directors is set to vote Friday on the
plan that has faced opposition for years
because of the expense, engineering difcul-
ty and public resistance to the notion of
changing the look of the iconic bridge.
Dennis Mulligan, the districts general
manager, told KCBS-TVthat 46 people com-
mitted suicide on the bridge in 2013. The
bridge has been the site of more than 1,400
conrmed deaths since it opened in 1937.
On average about once a week we stop
someone from jumping off the bridge,
Mulligan said. On average, twice a month
people die by jumping off the bridge.
The agency said it has found funding to
cover the $76 million price tag of the proj-
ect. It said $27 million would come from the
federal Surface Transportation Program; $22
million from the federal Local Highway
Bridge Program; $20 million from its own
reserves; and $7 million from California
Mental Health Service Act money.

BRASILIA, Brazil Neymar knew the
responsibility was his. An increasingly
anxious host nation was relying on him to
ensure Brazil avoided the almost inconceiv-
able prospect of going out in the group
stage of a World Cup on soil.
The 22-year-old Barcelona striker delivered
on the weighty expectations Monday, setting
the Selecao on course to clinch its place in the
knockout stage with two precision rst-half
goals in a 4-1 rout of
Cameroon.
I have the responsibil-
ity to go out there and
help my teammates, said
Neymar, the World Cups
leading scorer with four
goals. We all did well
today and got the result
that we needed.
He had already been deci-
sive in the 3-1 opening win over Croatia, when
he also scored twice to lift a struggling Brazil.
Fred and Fernandinho added second-half
goals to ensure top spot in Group A for
Brazil, which will face South American rival
Chile in the second round.
More important than the widely expected
victory, though, was a performance that
restored the condence of fans after two dis-
appointing matches.
It was our best match, Neymar said.
Not only because of the result but also
because of how we played. We pressured our
opponent just like we wanted. We deserved
this result everyone in the team deserves
credit for what we did today.
Neymar scored on either side of mideld-
er Joel Matips goal for Cameroon in the
26th minute.
He opened the scoring off a low cross by
midelder Luiz Gustavo in the 17th, deftly
side-footing the ball home from close range,
then restored the lead with a low right-foot
strike from the top of the penalty area in the
35th after a pass by left back Marcelo.

LONDON Andy Murray arrived on
Centre Court to a standing ovation and left
to another.
After ending Britains 77-year wait for a
homegrown mens champion at Wimbledon
last year, Murray got off to a strong start
Monday in his bid to become the rst to
retain the title since Fred Perry in 1936.
In keeping with tradition, Murray had the
honor of playing the opening match on
Centre Court as the defending mens cham-
pion and looked right at home in beating
David Gofn 6-1, 6-4, 7-5.
Murray broke the 105th-ranked Belgian
four times, saved the only two break points
against him and sealed the contest with an
ace, his eighth of the match. It was Murrays
450th tour-level match win.
Top-seeded Novak Djokovic, who lost to
Murray in last years nal, also put on a
commanding performance in his opening
round match on Centre Court. The Serbian
player won the rst 11 games and swept to a
6-0, 6-1, 6-4 win over Andrey Golubev of
Kazakhstan in less than 90 minutes.
Murray received a huge ovation when he
strode onto the court where he beat
Djokovic a year ago, soaking in the
applause and giving a wave to the crowd
including those fans who queued up for tick-
ets overnight for the rare chance to see a
reigning British champion.
It was nice, Murray said. I was nervous
this morning, nervous yesterday. Walking
through brings back a lot of good memo-
ries. I got a nice round of applause and once
you sit down in a chair its time to get ready
for this year and move on from last year.

N
o matter what NCAA president
Mark Emmert said on the witness
stand last week during the land-
mark antitrust case brought against col-
lege sports by former UCLA basketball
player Ed OBannon, it all meant nothing
after this quote:
They (student-athletes) want to know
everyone is playing by the same rules,
he said. They want
to know the other
teams consist of stu-
dent-athletes just like
them.
Did he have to sti-
e a laugh after that
comment? There is
no bigger joke in
college athletics than
that statement. Of
course the playing
field isnt level.
Cheating is rampant in college sports
from the players getting paid one way or
another (see Reggie Bush, USC football),
or taking their academics less than seri-
ously (see Rashad McCants, North
Carolina basketball).
College athletics is rife with problems
and yet the powers that run it refuse to do
anything about it or pretend its not actu-
ally happening. Either way, Emmert and
his cronies are delusional to think college
sports in the last bastion of amateurism
in the world.
Its hard to make that argument when
college sports is a multi-billion-dollar
business. And yet the people on which
colleges have built this empire, the play-
ers themselves, dont get a dime.
This lawsuit is just the latest in a string
of student-athlete rebellions. Early this
year, athletes at Northwestern University
were allowed to form a union as even the
courts recognized these players are de
facto employees of the university.
OBannon and 19 other plaintiffs are
trying to get current players the legal
right to sell their names, images and like-
nesses to, basically, make the money off

SAN FRANCISCO Cuban defector
Odrisamer Despaigne pitched seven innings
in his major league debut to lead the San
Diego Padres to a 6-0 victory over the San
Francisco Giants on Monday night.
Tommy Medica hit a two-run double off
Matt Cain (1-6) after the umpires took away
a three-run home run by Yasmani Grandal on
a replay review to give the crafty Despaigne
(1-0) the support he needed to get the win.
Despaigne had a 6.03 ERAin seven minor
league starts in his rst season as a profes-
sional after defecting from Cuba last sum-
mer. But he kept the Giants off-balance all
game by changing his arm angle and mix-
ing in big, slow curveballs with his harder
pitches.
Despaigne allowed four hits and no walks
in place of the injured Andrew Cashner, who
was placed on the disabled list with a sore
shoulder earlier in the day.
The Giants lost for the 10th time in 13
games.
Neither team had a hit in the rst three
innings before the Padres got to Cain in the
fourth. The rally started when Everth
Cabrera reached on a one-out ineld single
and advanced to third on Seth Smiths sin-
gle.
One out later, Grandal hit a drive to right-
center that initially appeared to clear the
wall for a three-run homer. But right elder
Hunter Pence immediately signaled that a
fan interfered on the play and ran toward the
umpires to protest.
The umpires called for a video review and
the play was changed to a double with Smith
being sent back to third base even though
he most likely would have scored easily
from rst on a two-out hit to the deepest part
of the stadium.
Padres manager Bud Black ran out of the
dugout to challenge the ruling and was
immediately ejected by crew chief Brian
ONora.
The call became moot when Medica fol-
lowed with a two-run double to make it 3-0

Diekroger brothers cooking
With Danny Diekroegers professional
career getting underway last Wednesday,
the former Stanford infielder is off to a
slugging start.
Entering into play Monday for St. Louis
Short-Season afliate State College,
Diekroeger boasted a .625 slugging percent-
age following a 4-for-14 performance over his
last three games. During the span from June
20-22, the left-handed hitting Diekroeger
tabbed a double, a triple and two home runs for
the Spikes, including his rst professional
round-tripped last Friday with a solo shot to
right in the rst inning.
State College went on to down Jamestown
5-3 Friday in the rst win Diekroeger ever
shared in as a pro.
Diekroeger was a 10th round draft pick by
the Cardinals earlier this month, becoming
the second member of his family to join the
ranks of afliated professional baseball. His
older brother Kenny Diekroeger plays for
Kansas City High-Aafliate Wilmington.
Kenny has been maligned for his lack of
offensive production since being drafted in the
fourth round out of Stanford in 2012. The elder
Diekroeger has been cooking as of late
though, entering into play Monday having
hit safely in his last ve games. In that time,
he has posted a 6-for-16 mark and has seen his
batting average spike 23 points, as he is now
hitting .214 on the season.
Paroubeck debuts
Since being drafted in the second round by
the San Diego Padres out of Serra High School
last season, Jordan Paroubeck had yet made
his professional debut until last Friday.
Playing for the Padres Rookie-class team
in Arizona, Paroubeck went 4 for 12 over
his rst three games. He tabbed a hit and a
stolen base in his June 20 debut, with his
first professional knock coming in the
sixth inning off Rangers left-hander Kevin
Matthews. Then on Sunday, hitting out of
the leadoff spot, he went 3 for 5 with an RBI
and a run scored in the minor-league Padres
8-2 win over the White Sox.
Ahigh-prole center elder out of Serra in
2013, Paroubeck is one of just two Serra play-
ers to surpass the 40-hit mark in a single sea-
son since the inception of the composite-bat
era in 2011. Paroubeck tabbed 41 hits for the
high school Padres in 2013, ranking second
on the team to Michael Tinsleys 44 hits.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
A day after getting routed by undefeated
Pacica, the San Bruno Joe DMaggio squad
bounced back Monday riding the arm of
Rory McDaid.
McDaid went the distance to lead San
Bruno to a 2-1 win over San Mateo Monday
at Sea Cloud Park. The recent Capuchino
graduate matched his lifetime high of 12
strikeouts to improve his record to 2-0.
Originally scheduled to throw against
Pacica, he bypassed the start as he was vaca-
tioning through the weekend. San Bruno ulti-
mately got lambasted Sunday, 16-0.
But the vacation seemed to do McDaid
good.
Rory came back strong, San Bruno man-
ager Edgar Hernandez said. He showed what
San Bruno is actually about. He came back and
took it upon himself to get the team back.
Weve got a couple aces on the team and he did
his job to put the team back on track.
With the win, San Bruno improves its
record to 7-3 to solidify its second-place
standing in the North Peninsula League
standings. Pacica, at 12-0, holds a com-
manding four-game lead over San Bruno.
South City, at 6-5, is in third place, 5 1/2
games back of the division lead.
After winning Peninsula Athletic League
Ocean Division Pitcher of the Year honors
as a senior at Cap in the spring, McDaid is
showing no signs of slowing down. He fea-
tured a four-pitch repertoire Monday, using
mostly his fastball while mixing in a cutter,
a curve and a changeup.
He threw all his pitches for strikes,
Hernandez said. He threw 90 percent fast-
balls. He just threw his other stuff to keep
them off his fastball.
San Mateo led briey after jumping out to
a 1-0 lead in the third. After San Mateo
loaded the bases with two outs, McDaid was
on the verge of potentially escaping the jam
unscathed. After running up a two-strike
count, however, McDaid balked, allowing
San Mateos only run of the game to score.
San Bruno answered right back in the bot-
tom of the inning, though. With one out, Eddie
Cecchi reached on an ineld error. He advanced
to second on a passed ball then stole third.
Josh Hitchens then delivered a clutch RBI sin-
gle with a line drive to left to tie it, 1-1.
In the fth, San Brunos Kyle Patterson drew
a one-out walk. Then the San Bruno running
game delivered the go-ahead run. Patterson
stole second; then he stole third, with the
throw being mishandled allowing Patterson to
plate, giving San Bruno a 2-1 lead.
McDaid did the rest, and even added a little
torture to the nal inning by allowing the
tying run to reach scoring position on a
wild pitch. But the right-hander buckled
down to retire two consecutive San Mateo
batters to end it.
Rory was dominating, Hernandez said.
He kind of bullied them a little bit. Theyre
a very good team there. The middle of their
lineup is pretty good. And he let them know
he was there.
The win was a critical one to get San
Bruno back on track amidst a busy week.
With Mondays game the teams second in
as many days, San Bruno travels to
Fairmont Wednesday and to Half Moon Bay
Friday before hosting a doubleheader
against South City Sunday at Lara Field.
San Bruno has the pitching depth to play
with such frequency though. The team fea-
tures the same formidable tandem which led
Capuchino to the best overall record in the
PAL in the spring in McDaid and left-hander
Joe Galea. Rounding out the rotation is
Cecchi; the veteran right-hander coming off
a solid outing last Wednesday in which he
red ve innings to tab the win as San
Bruno downed Trinity 11-5.
As for McDaid who hasnt taken the
mound since a June 8 win against Millbrae
the wiry strong right-hander was riding
high after his dominant 68-pitch complete
game with a quiet condence suggesting he
is ready to take on the entire league himself.
I feel great, McDaid said. I can go
tomorrow.
McDaiddazzles for San Bruno JoeD

OMAHA, Neb. Virginia held Vanderbilt
scoreless for all but one inning.
But boy, what an inning it was.
The Commodores capitalized on Virginia
starter Nathan Kirbys sudden loss of control to
score nine runs in the third, then held off the
Cavaliers to win 9-8 in Game 1 of the College
World Series nals Monday night.
Were fortunate to win that game, for sure,
Vanderbilt coach Tim Corbin said. No one
could have scripted that particular game, and if
anyone said they could, theyre lying. I dont
think you could have called a nine-run inning.
The Commodores (50-20) can win their rst
national championship in a
mens sport with a win
Tuesday night.
Virginia (52-15) came
back after going down by
seven runs, scoring three in
the third, two in the fth
and another in the eighth.
Had it not been for
Vanderbilt reliever John
Kilichowski getting a cleat
on the ball to slow down and redirect a come-
backer, saving a run in the eighth, the Cavaliers
would have tied it.
Jared Miller (7-2) got the win for two innings
of relief of Walker Buehler. Adam Ravenelle
came on in the ninth and earned his second save
of the CWS.
Tyler Campbell continued his improbable
breakout for the Commodores, doubling twice
in the third inning. Campbell, who took over
for third baseman Xavier Turner on Friday after
he was ruled ineligible for an NCAArules viola-
tion, put Vanderbilt up 9-2 with his second dou-
ble, which came with the bases loaded.
It was the highest-scoring CWS game at TD
Ameritrade Park, which opened in 2011, and the
most runs allowed by Virginia since an 11-6 loss
to Mississippi State in super regionals last year.
The nine runs in the third, off three hits, ve
walks and a hit batsman , were the most in an
inning in the CWS since Stanford scored 11
against Florida State in the ninth on June 14,
2008, at the old Rosenblatt Stadium.

lackluster performances, scored with a header
from close range after a cross by defender David
Luiz from the left in the 49th minute. And
Fernandinho, who replaced Paulinho in the sec-
ond half, poked in from short range in the
84th.
I liked how the team played, Brazil coach
Luiz Felipe Scolari said. There were some
highs and lows, but in general we improved a
little bit more. We are progressing match after
match and thats important.
Brazil nished Group A with seven points
after a 0-0 draw with Mexico and two wins. It
ended with the same points as Mexico, but had
a better goal difference. The Mexicans elimi-
nated Croatia with a 3-1 win in Recife.
We knew we had to do better today, Brazil
striker Hulk said. We had to play better and we
did.
Playing in its 100th World Cup match, Brazil
needed at least a draw to advance. Elimination
in the group stage would have been unthink-
able for the ve-time world champions playing
at home. The only team to play in all 20 World
Cups, Brazil has advanced to the second round
in every tournament since 1970.
Boosted by a crowd of nearly 69,112 at the
Estadio Nacional in the nations capital, Brazil
began the match pressuring Cameroon and cre-
ated many scoring chances early. But the
African team eventually picked up the pace and
was able to keep the hosts from threatening too
much.
Despite playing without Samuel Etoo
because of a lingering right knee injury,
Cameroon had a few good chances, even when
the match was level in the rst half.
The rst half was not so bad, but we need to
focus for 90 minutes, and this is not the rst
time that this happened, Cameroon coach
Volker Finke said. Some goals were not need-
ed, three times we had the control of the ball
and we lost it.
Cameroon, which hasnt advanced to the sec-
ond round since becoming the rst African
nation to reach the World Cup quarternals in
1990, likely saw Etoo playing in his nal
World Cup. The 33-year-old striker, in his
fourth World Cup, is the teams all-time leading
scorer.
Netherlands 2, Chile 0
SAO PAULO Leroy Fer scored a minute
after coming on as a substitute to help give
the Netherlands a 2-0 victory over Chile on
Monday and top Group B at the World Cup
with three consecutive wins.
Fer had only just replaced Wesley Sneijder
when he rose almost unmarked in the Chile
penalty area to put the Dutch ahead with a
powerful 77th-minute header. Another substi-
tute, Memphis Depay, then nished off a
counterattack in injury time to double the lead.
Both teams had already advanced to the sec-
ond round, but Chiles rst loss of the tourna-
ment consigned it to second place in Group B.
The Dutch now travel to Fortaleza to play
the Group A runner-up in the round of 16.
Chile faces the Group Awinner.
Mexico 3, Croatia 1
RECIFE, Brazil Mexico surged into the
World Cups knockout stage for a sixth-
straight time Monday with a 3-1 win over
Croatia.
Rafael Marquez, Andres Guardado and
Javier Chicharito Hernandez scored in a
10-minute span in the second half, doom-
ing a talented Croatia side to elimination
from the group stage.
The Croats had to win to advance and held
the bulk of possession, but had trouble
seriously threatening goalkeeper
Guillermo Ochoa, who kept out all efforts
until an 87th-minute consolation goal from
Ivan Perisic.
Mexico entered the game needing only a
draw, and looked dangerous in attack, but
was kept out until the three-goal burst.
Spain 3, Australia 0
CURITIBA, Brazil Defending champi-
on Spain salvaged some World Cup pride on
Monday with a convincing 3-0 victory
over Australia in its last match at the tour-
nament.
After losing their previous matches in
Group B to the Netherlands and Chile, both
teams took to Arena da Baixada knowing
they could not advance to the second round.
David Villa, on his 97th and nal appear-
ance put Spain ahead in the 36th minute
with his record 59th goal, guiding Juanfran
Torres pass into the net with the inside of
his right foot.
Fernando Torres doubled the lead in the
69th as he steered the ball home following
an incisive pass from Andres Iniesta.
Juan Mata added the third from close
range in the 82nd after a pass from Cesc
Fabregas.
Among those in the Royal Box for the
occasion were Murrays father and grandpar-
ents and retired NBA star Shaquille ONeal,
dressed in suit and tie. Murray chatted
briey with the 7-foot-1 (2.16-meter) Shaq
after the match.
Hes a big boy, thats for sure, Murray
said. He was huge.
Murrays new coach, former womens
champion Amelie Mauresmo, sat in the
front row of the guest box, showing little
emotion throughout the match. Murray said
the two spoke over dinner last week about
the pressures of returning to Centre Court as
reigning champ.
One of the things she said is she tried to
take in the atmosphere and the experience
of walking out as defending champion,
Murray said. You never know if youll get
the chance to do it again.
Murray was on top of his game from the
outset, sailing through the rst set in 29
minutes, and closing out the second with an
ace. Gofn, who stands 5-foot-11 (1.80
meters) with a slight build, was overpow-
ered for the rst two sets but raised his level
in the third and pushed Murray hard.
In the second and third sets I thought the
standard was very high, Murray said. He
came up with some unbelievable passing
shots. I was glad to nish it in three.
The pressure will now be on Murrays next
opponent, Blaz Rola of Slovenia, who
advanced with a 6-3, 6-1, 6-4 win against
Pablo Andujar of Spain. Asked about facing
the champion on Wednesday on Centre
Court, Rola said: Hopefully, I dont poop
my pants and dont play well.
Djokovic, meanwhile, never faced a break
point in his dominant victory against the
56th-ranked Golubev, who fell to his 10th
consecutive loss on grass. The score was 6-
0, 5-0 before Golubev nally won a game. It
was Djokovics rst grass-court match of
the year.
It was a great start, especially in the rst
two sets, Djokovic said. I cannot be hap-
pier with the performance.
Among other mens winners on a cloudy
opening day was sixth-seeded and 2010 run-
ner-up Tomas Berdych, who beat Victor
Hanescu 6-7 (5), 6-1, 6-4, 6-3. No. 7 David
Ferrer, No. 11 Grigor Dimitrov, No. 12
Ernests Gulbis and No. 17 Mikhail Youzhny
also advanced.
But 18th-seeded Fernando Verdasco fell to
Australias Marinko Matosevic, losing 6-4,
4-6, 6-4, 6-2.
In womens play, second-seeded Li Na of
China advanced with a 7-5, 6-2 win over
Paula Kania of Poland. Li, the 2011 French
Open champion, rallied to win the last four
games of the rst set after being down a
service break at 5-3.
Five-time champion Venus Williams won
her rst singles match at Wimbledon since
2011, posting a 6-4, 4-6, 6-2 victory over
Maria-Teresa Torro-Flor of Spain. Williams
lost in the rst round in 2012 and missed
last years tournament because of a back
injury.
Ive come back so many times from
injuries, said Williams, who served 11
aces. I just feel like the more I keep play-
ing, the better I get.

their own personal brands that the
NCAAcurrently hordes for itself.
The lawsuit was initially led ve
years ago and is just now getting
its day in court.
Granted, not all colleges and
universities are making big-time
bucks off athletics. Division II,
III and NAIAschools continue to,
mostly, observe the tenets of
amateurism. But at the highest
level, Division I, billions are
being made, with schools, confer-
ences and coaches all making the
money while the players are
left out in the cold.
Im not advocating paying ath-
letes millions of dollars to com-
pete, but I am suggesting perhaps
they deserve some kind of stipend
that enables them to live like the
rest of the students on a college
campus if that is truly
Emmerts point of contention,
that athletes are just like any
other college student. College
athletes are not allowed to hold
jobs and even if they could, when
would they have time to work?
Going to class (presumably) and
practice leaves little time for any-
thing else. Anormal student can
work around their class schedule if
they so choose to put a little
spending money in their pockets.
Why cant a college athlete? Lets
face it, their sport is their job.
They should be paid something
for the work they put in.
To convert college sports into
professional sports would be tan-
tamount to converting it into
minor league sports, Emmert
said.
Isnt that what college sports
already are, at least for the rev-
enue-generating ones? Basketball
players spending one year in col-
lege before jumping to the pros?
Or football players jumping to
the NFL three years after their
high school graduation? Baseball
players being drafted after their
junior year? Reasonable and logi-
cal people understand that those
athletes who harbor dreams of
playing professionally use col-
lege as their training for that
level much like a student study-
ing to be a doctor or lawyer. The
purpose of college is to prepare
students for their eld of choice.
How are college athletes any dif-
ferent?
Emmert believes that paying
athletes would somehow ruin col-
lege athletics. No. What it would
ruin is the cash cow that sees
Emmert pulling in a salary of
nearly $2 million, that sees
coaches signing lucrative coach-
ing contracts and endorsement
deals, that sees athletic confer-
ences sharing in the Coca-Cola,
Gillette, Toyota and all the other
sponsorship money these sports
draw.
Theyre (student-athletes) not
hired employees conducting
games for entertainment,
Emmert went on to say.
Oh yeah? Could have fooled me,
because that is exactly what it
looks like.

WASHINGTON President Barack Obama said Monday
that the United States should join the rest of the industrialized
world and offer paid leave for mothers of newborns.
Many women cant even get a paid day off to give birth
now thats a pretty low bar, Obama said at the White House
Summit on Working Families. That, we should be able to
take care of.
The president is talking about paid maternity in the midst
of a midterm election campaign focused on women voters,
raising questions about how he would fund such a system. If
France can gure this out, we can gure this out, Obama said.
While some companies offer paid family leave to attract
workers, the 1993 Family Medical Leave Act only requires
that employers provide unpaid leave for medical and family
reasons.
Obama praised California, Rhode Island and New Jersey for
creating a state benet. But he has not endorsed legislation
that would create a similar national system funded by a pay-
roll tax, and he pledged in his 2008 presidential campaign
not to raise taxes on families making under $250,000 a year.
Rep. Rosa DeLauro, D-Conn., has introduced legislation
that would provide up to 12 weeks of paid leave through a
fund in the Social Security Administration, paid for by con-
tributions from employees and employers of 0.2 percent of
wages. She said she has personally encouraged the president
to back it and hopes he will, despite his tax pledge.
Were talking about 2 cents of every $10, she said in an
interview at the summit. She said without such a fund, eight
out of 10 workers cant take advantage of their right for fam-
ily leave because they cant afford it.
When Obama came to the White House, he instituted six
weeks of paid leave for his workers when they have a child,
get sick or injured or need to care for an ailing family mem-
ber, using his authority to set his staffs compensation under
the personnel code. He does not have the power to award paid
leave to other federal workers without congressional action
since they are covered under a different section of law. The
White House has supported the goal of legislation introduced
by lawmakers to change that, but it has yet to get through
Congress.
There is only one developed country in the world that does
not offer paid maternity leave, and that is us, Obama said.
And that is not the list you want to be on on your lone-
some. Its time to change that.
Obama also encouraged employers to have more exible
work schedules and directed federal agencies to expand exi-
ble work arrangements where possible. He also urged
Congress to pass legislation requiring employers to accom-
modate pregnant employees so they can continue to perform
their jobs.
The president personalized the issues by talking about the
struggles of his single mother and the challenges that he and
his wife, Michelle, had when their children were young, even
though they were fortunate to have benets many workers
dont enjoy.
He acknowledged he left Michelle to carry the heaviest
child care burdens while he worked and campaigned. He said
hes now lucky to live above the store, so to speak, so he
can have dinner with his family most nights, and he points
out his daughters were older when he became president. I
never had to meet a world leaders with Cheerios stuck to my
pants, he joked.
The summit has been months in the making, with several
regional events leading up to it featuring administration of-
cials. The White House devoted all its star power to the event
and even a surprise appearance by a celebrity to echo
Obamas criticism of Mad Men policies in todays work-
place. Christina Hendricks, who plays single mom Joan on
the AMC dramatization of a 1960s ad rm, said, In the 21st
Century the only place for a story like Joans should be on
TV.

SLEEP APNEA
& Snoring
Treatment
Dental mouth guard treatsSleep Apnea and snoring
By Maryclaire Dale
PHILADELPHIA A national transplant
board has permanently adopted a rule that
gives sick children a better shot at donor
lungs.
The vote Monday came a year after a
Pennsylvania girls need for new lungs
sparked a national debate on donor rules.
The Organ Procurement and Transplantation
Network will now give children more con-
sideration for adult lungs.
Afederal judge had ordered the network to
add 11-year-old Sarah Murnaghan, of
Newtown Square, to the adult list last year as
she battled end-stage cystic brosis.
After two transplants one failed
Sarah is now breathing on her own for the
rst time in three years. In a statement, her
family called the lawsuit the absolute last
resort after other appeals failed.
We believed making lungs from donors
12 and older available to children under 12
who are good candidates to receive them was
the right thing to do. We very much appre-
ciate that the medical community (now)
agrees with that, the family, including par-
ents Janet and Francis Murnaghan, said.
The lung transplant issue only affects
about 20 children a year, making it difcult
to study outcomes, the network said. A
dozen children have asked to be added to the
adult list under a waiver this past year, but
most are still matched with donor lungs
from children, the transplant network said.
Children win broader access to donor lungs
er. Although birds infected with West Nile
are discovered periodically, this was the
rst time in at least a decade mosquitoes car-
rying the virus had been found in San Mateo
County, Weber said.
Records as far back as 2007 show no
human has contracted West Nile in San
Mateo County. However, last week, some-
one from Contra Costa County became the
rst to test positive in California this year,
according to the states West Nile website.
After spending about three to four hours
fogging the neighborhood between Poplar
and Third avenues and El Camino Real and
Highway 101, district technicians con-
rmed Monday they had killed off nearly 77
percent of the mosquito population and the
remaining tested clear of the virus, Weber
said.
The district discovered the outbreak
Thursday and decided to proceed that
evening and put out iers and notices that
they would be fogging the area by truck
between 11 p.m. and 5 a.m., Weber said.
Cheryl Zuf, a North Central homeowner
who runs a day care business, said she under-
stands the importance of addressing the dan-
gerous mosquitoes, but had concerns about
the process.
It wasnt what they were doing, it was
more that I didnt feel there was proper
notice given and I know we may not have a
say in whether they may fog or not, if its
denitely a situation that they feel is dan-
gerous and they have to do what they have
to do, I can understand that. But at the same
time, we need more time to be prepared for
this because I have a day care and I have pets
and I have a lot to be concerned about, Zuf
said.
The iers advised residents to bring in
any toys or pet bowls left outside, to close
windows and doors, diligently wash their
hands and thoroughly wash any produce
from a residents garden.
Zuf said by the time many homeowners
received the notice, it was past the districts
ofce hours and no one was available to
answer questions over the phone. Zuf said
the district should consider different com-
munication platforms or have a notication
process in place that would be more effec-
tive at reaching everyone and provide a
source of answers for concerned residents.
Weber said the district hadnt fogged since
2006 and this was rst time hes encoun-
tered a case of mosquitoes infected with
West Nile.
The district used a pesticide called
pyrethroid and inspectors returned to differ-
ent residences and monitored traps to make
sure the mosquitoes with West Nile had been
killed off, Webber said.
The type of mosquitoes that carry West
Nile typically breed in dirty water so people
should make sure they dont let water col-
lect. The inspectors found several homes
with dirty stagnant water, including a
wheelbarrow that was full, Weber said.
Weber said the district purchased DNA
testing equipment about a year ago to per-
form studies in-house instead of having to
send samples to the state and wait for a
response. The new equipment proved
extremely valuable in nding this recent
infestation and then immediately address-
ing it, Weber said.
When youre working in the interests of
public health, theyre all kinds of exemp-
tions, Weber said. You just have to take
the risk of whats going on and consider
that a child or grandmother could get West
Nile, which is known to kill people. So in
the interest of public health, we thought we
should treat as soon as we got the informa-
tion. Thats why we purchased the DNA
equipment, so we could react quickly.

SB848 by Sen. Lois Wolk, D-Davis, fell
short of the required two-thirds majority
vote needed to pass, but its not dead. After
it failed 22-9, Wolk made a procedural move
that will allow the bill to be reconsidered
later in the summer.
The measure also lacked Gov. Jerry
Browns support. Steinberg said the gover-
nor prefers a smaller bond.
The governor is concerned about ongo-
ing debt service and its impact on future
budgets, said the governors spokesman,
Jim Evans.
Democrats say voters are likely to reject
the existing ballot measure if it remains on
the general election ballot because it is per-
ceived as containing too much special inter-
est pork and being too supportive of a con-
tentious tunnel project to divert water from
the Northern California delta to farms and
residents in the south.
The Legislature passed the current water
bond in 2009 but has delayed it from going
before voters twice out of fear that it would
be defeated.
Steinberg said a bond that is perceived as
promoting the tunnels, a project that is a
priority of the governor, is likely to be
defeated by voters.
The new version put forth by Senate
Democrats is slightly smaller at $10.5 bil-
lion. Supporters said it takes a neutral posi-
tion on the tunnels, provides funding to
improve the quality of drinking water sup-
plies and maintains the $3 billion in the
current bond to increase storage, primarily
through building new dams or raising exist-
ing ones.
Maintaining money for dams was the top
priority of Republican lawmakers, whose
support is needed.
If this is your signature priority, today is
your chance, Steinberg said.
Sen. Jim Nielsen, R-Gerber, said he
believes voters will support the 2009 water
bond that is currently on the ballot, given
the water shortages facing many communi-
ties.
I do believe that the voters of California,
now having been confronted with this
drought, will be sympathetic, he said.
In the Assembly, several water bond over-
hauls are in the works, all of them less
expensive than the Senate plan that came to
a vote Monday. Any new version of the
water bond will have to pass both houses of
the Legislature on a supermajority vote and
gain support from minority Republicans.
SB848 allocates $3 billion for safe drink-
ing water projects, such as funding regional
water management districts to remove sedi-
ment and make seismic retrots at storage
facilities. It would allocate $3.2 billion for
wildlife and conservation projects as well as
water recycling projects. Another $3 bil-
lion would be dedicated to dams and ground-
water storage projects, while $1.3 billion
would be used for cleaning up and preserv-
ing the delta.
Wolks bill would require any tunnel proj-
ect to be approved by the Sacramento-San
Joaquin Delta Conservancy, which is part of
the Delta Stewardship Council created by
the Legislature in 2009 to manage the
deltas ecosystem and water supplies.
Republicans worry the conservancy group
could withhold money from projects they
favor.
Lawmakers say Californias three-year
drought makes it more pressing for them to
reach agreement on a plan that will include
money for more groundwater storage, dams,
conservation and habitat restoration.
California is suffering through a string of
several relatively dry winters, which have
led to a reduced snowpack and groundwater
reserves. Brown in January declared a
drought emergency, and some communities
are rationing water. Farmland is being left
fallow, and court rulings have ordered that
more water be released from reservoirs to
sustain sh species in Northern Californias
delta.

CHICAGO Women with heart fail-
ure are less likely to get a special kind
of pacemaker than men, but more like-
ly to benet from the device, a govern-
ment analysis suggests.
The findings come from the first
study of its kind conducted by
researchers at the Food and Drug
Administration. The FDA has done
similar analyses of prescription drugs,
but not of medical devices, said lead
author Dr. David Strauss, an FDA med-
ical ofcer.
Relatively few women have been
included in studies of pacemakers and
other medical devices, which has
made it difcult to assess differences in
the safety and effectiveness of these
devices for women vs. men, Strauss
said.
The study authors said its unclear
why women would benet more from
these special pacemakers but possibil-
ities include differences in physiology
and body size. Its also uncertain why
the pacemakers are used less in women
but an editorial published with the
study says heart devices in general are
more commonly used in men, possibly
because of scarce scientic evidence
that they work in women.
The researchers pooled results in
three previous pacemaker studies,
involving more than 4,000 patients,
mostly men. Still, there were 878
women included enough to assess
gender differences in treatment results,
the researchers said.
Their analysis was published
Monday in JAMAInternal Medicine.
Pacemakers are small devices
implanted in the chest that emit elec-
trical signals to regulate the heart-
beat. They are often used to treat
heart failure, which occurs when the
heart muscle has weakened and cant
efficiently pump blood.
Those studied are a special kind
called cardiac resynchronization
devices, and include a debrillator to
detect and zap life-threatening beats.
They are used to treat a particular type
of heart failure involving the two
lower chambers of the heart.
Women who got the special pace-
makers were 60 percent less likely to
die or develop heart failure-related
complications during two years of fol-
low-up than those who got implanted
debrillators alone. For men, the risk
reduction was just 26 percent.
The difference in benets was even
greater for women with a specific
abnormality - 76 percent were less like
to die or develop complications. There
was no pacemaker benet for men in
this group. About 20 percent of women
studied and 15 percent of the men had
that irregularity.
In absolute terms, the special pace-
makers helped an additional 23 women
out of every 100 with that abnormality
avoid complications or death during
the follow-up.
Of about 100,000 Americans receiv-
ing the special pacemakers per year,
fewer than 30 percent are women,
2010 data suggest. Strauss said it is
unclear exactly how many more
women should be using these devices,
but more than a handful.
But Strauss said the study has a big-
ger picture message about the impor-
tance of including women and other
under-represented patients in medical
research to nd out if treatments work
differently.
While heart disease is the No. 1
cause of death for women and men, a
JAMA Internal Medicine editorial
notes heart conditions often affect
them differently. For example: Women
sometimes have different heart attack
symptoms than men and more depres-
sion afterward; some kinds of heart
failure are more common in women;
and they respond differently to certain
heart medicines.
FDA study: Special kind of
pacemaker benefits women
Defibrillators
not required
in state stores
By Paul Elias
SAN FRANCISCO The California Supreme Court on
Monday ruled that large retailers arent required to have deb-
rillators on hand to help treat customers and workers who suf-
fer sudden cardiac arrest.
The ruling signals the end of a Los Angeles-area familys
wrongful-death lawsuit alleging Target was liable for a cus-
tomers sudden death from cardiac arrest because it didnt have
one of the devices as part of its rst-aid plan.
The state Supreme Court ruled such a requirement was an
unfair burden on Target Corp.
But the court said it was best left to the state Legislature to
decide if retailers should have the devices on hand to deliver a
life-saving jolt of electricity to a stalled heart. Lawmakers are
in a better position to determine if retailers should be required
to have debrillators by writing detailed legislation, the
court said.
Chief Justice Tani Cantil-Sakauye wrote for the court that
we believe that in this context the Legislature is generally
in the best position to examine, evaluate and resolve the pub-
lic policy considerations relevant to the duty question.
For two decades, an increasing number of public places in
the U.S. have been required to have automated external deb-
rillators on hand, including government buildings, airports
and many other public places. In that time, debrillators have
become cheaper to buy and easier to use. All 50 states and the
federal government have laws requiring various entities to
have the devices in place, beginning with a Florida law
passed in 1997. Oregon is the only state that requires large
retailers to have debrillators, which are widely acknowl-
edged as a powerful lifesaver if used immediately after a car-
diac arrest. The American Heart Association says as many as
300,000 Americans suffer cardiac arrest each year and that the
quick use of a debrillator can increase survival rates from 8
percent to 30 percent.
For two decades, an increasing number of public places in

started to add programs. The process
went from pretty much an information-
al agency to a hands-on direct service
agency, Kelly said. If there was a
community need that no one else was
meeting, wed be able to take it on.
That was sort of the philosophy and
the approach.
In the past decade alone, about
22,000 volunteers have put in
370,000 hours and the agency has
delivered nearly 1.5 million meals,
according to Charlow.
Outside of its internally managed
programs, Samaritan House serves as
the lead agency for San Mateo County
and makes referrals to at least seven
other service organizations.
Through strong public and private
partnerships, Samaritan House has an
approximate $9 million annual budg-
et, which it uses to support thousands
who struggle to meet basic life neces-
sities, Charlow said. As the countys
core agency, Samaritan House also
allocates funds to the other service
programs and often provides direct
nancial assistance to individuals in
crisis, Charlow said.
Evolving needs
Laura Bent, director of programs and
services, said Samaritan Houses evo-
lution coincides with changes within
the community.
What I love about this organization
is we take the time to do our needs
assessments in the community and
identify gaps in needs for the clients
we are serving, what they need to suc-
ceed. And we strategically plan what
we have the capacity to lead and where
we can collaborate and partner to pro-
vide holistic services for our clients,
Bent said.
Keeping with growing needs has
meant following increasing housing
costs. As San Mateo County boasts
some of the highest rents in the
nation, Samaritan House will, on a
case-by-case basis, provide one-time
nancial assistance to help prevent
homelessness, said Client Services
Manager Robyn Fischer.
Marta Alvarado, a 77-year-old U.S.
citizen who was born in El Salvador,
said Samaritan House helped secure her
home by making a one-time direct
payment to her landlord when her rent
suddenly increased by $346 in April.
Alvarado said she rst heard of the
organization more than 15 years ago
while working at College of San
Mateo where she would pair students
with assistance programs.
Alvarado said her life drastically
changed after being diagnosed with
cancer and becoming unable to work
so five years ago she turned to
Samaritan House for help.
Alvarado said she participates in the
food assistance program where shes
provided with monthly groceries and
fresh produce. She was also fortunate
to be chosen for the senior sharing
holiday program that partners families
with seniors.
These people are very friendly, you
feel like you are protected and you are
loved and they are always willing to
help, Alvarado said. They become
friends.
Alvarado said shes been very fortu-
nate to receive government assistance
like Section 8 vouchers and MediCal,
however, Samaritan House helps sub-
sidize her other needs.
Medical assistance
Still, many in the county do not
have access to direct health care so, in
1992, Samaritan House began offering
medical services. It now runs medical
and dental clinics in San Mateo and
Redwood City that tend to 9,000
patient visits each year, Charlow said.
Generous volunteer physicians,
nurses, medical assistants and inter-
preters, run the health and dental clin-
ics, said Director of Program
Operations Sharon Petersen.
We are kind of a safety net in terms
of health care for the county, Petersen
said.
Maria Valenzuela said she suffers
from diabetes and has been a patient at
the Samaritan House clinics since
2004.
Because in this country, its very
expensive for doctors and medicine. If
we dont have a place like Samaritan
House, I dont know what wed do.
Especially for me, because I have ...
diabetes. Its hard to take care and the
medicine is very expensive and even
the lab tests and all that kind of stuff,
Valenzuela said. If it wasnt for
Samaritan House, itd be very hard for
me to take care of my health.
Meeting basic needs
Samaritan Houses ability to help,
Kelly said, stems from the communi-
tys participation and recognizing that
supporting prosperity means ensuring
basic human needs are met. Although
much has changed in the last 40 years,
Kelly said Samaritan House has grown
alongside the community and contin-
ues to provide for the betterment of
those in need.
When you have all kinds of families
on the edge where food, clothing and
shelter are pretty basic and challeng-
ing to them we need programs that
address these problems, Kelly said.
When youre in survival mode and
youre not sure if youre going to have
food when you get up in the morning,
or a roof over your head, education is
great, but its of no value unless youre
living a halfway decent life and your
basics are taken care of.

far been recovered from the street.
I hate that we have to do this work
hate it, Comey said. I love the
people whove devoted their lives to
doing this work. There is no more
meaningful work that the FBI partic-
ipates in than rescuing children.
He said the operations were
designed to crush these pimps and
show that children are not for sale.
They are also intended to rescue chil-
dren who are being trafficked on
street corners, in truck stops and,
increasingly, on the Internet, where
pimps advertise and arrange sexual
encounters.
One challenge, officials said, is
that many of the children who were
recovered were never reported miss-
ing in the first place by parents,
guardians and the entire child welfare
system designed to protect them.
No one is reporting them miss-
ing. Hence, no one is looking for
them, said John Ryan, CEO of the
National Center for Missing and
Exploited Children. But for opera-
tions like this, these children likely
would never have been found.
He said better laws were needed to
require child welfare service to
report children who disappear. Right
now, he said, only two states have
laws requiring agencies to report
children missing from their care.
There is no national, uniform stan-
dard.
We cannot find them if no one
reports them missing, Ryan said.
Though this operation is the FBIs
eighth of its kind, Comey said this
year featured the highest number of
participating cities. But he said the
biggest change was the increasing
prevalence of children being sold
online rather than on street corners.
The children rescued during the
sting are being connected with vic-
tim advocates and nonprofits focused
on helping exploited children,
according to the FBI.

TUESDAY, JUNE 24, 2014
CANCER (June 21-July 22) You will be overlooked
if you sit on the sidelines waiting for things to happen.
Take an active interest in your community, and get out
and do things instead of just daydreaming.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You will encounter many
hurdles if you try to start something new today.
Concentrate on clearing up old projects rst, making it
easier for you to move onward and upward.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Your natural gifts can
be put to good use if you give others the chance to
participate in your plans. Networking will help you
nd worthy contributors.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) You should make quick
work of your to-do list in order to ease your stress
and free some time to enjoy life with family or friends.
Put love on a pedestal.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) Relax and let things
unfold naturally both at work and at home. If you are
too intense, you will intimidate those around you. Be
patient and understanding for the best results.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Trust in your
talents and work hard promoting them to others.
Your persuasive personality will help you get the
help you need.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) If you are
uncertain about moving forward with your plans,
review what it is you are trying to achieve and make
the adjustments necessary to succeed.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) You will hurt the
feelings of someone close to you if you are insensitive
about the problem that he or she is experiencing.
Treat those around you the way you want to be treated
in order to build healthy relationships.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) This is a good time to
take care of home-improvement projects. Your energy
and enthusiasm will encourage others to pitch in and
help, or at least offer good suggestions.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) Look for people
who share interests with you. The knowledge and
experience you gain and offer will lead to a long-
lasting friendship and a unique collaboration.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Your edge over the
competition will go up in smoke if you let others
know your plans. Keep your strategy, secrets and
whereabouts to yourself.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Dont base your actions
on assumptions or hearsay. Stay out of a costly
predicament by getting the facts rst. An excess of
talk and a shortage of action will work against you.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
Gladys Y. Cretan, aka Gladys Yessay-
an Cretan, aka Gladys Certan
Case Number: 124603
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, con-
tingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of: Gladys Y. Cretan, aka
Gladys Yessayan Cretan, aka Gladys
Certan. A Petition for Probate has been
filed by Clifford V. Cretan in the Superior
Court of California, County of San Mateo.
The Petition for Probate requests that
Clifford Cretan be appointed as personal
representative to administer the estate of
the decedent.
The petition requests the descedants will
and codicils, if any, be admitted to pro-
bate. The willand any codicils are availa-
ble for examination in tehfile kept by the
court.
The petition requests authority to admin-
ister the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This au-
thority will allow the personal representa-
tive to take many actions without obtain-
ing court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the per-
sonal representative will be required to
give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to
the proposed action.) The independent
administration authority will be granted
unless an interested person files an ob-
jection to the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant the
authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: July 11, 2014 at
9:00 a.m., Dept. 28, Superior Court of
California, County of San Mateo, 400
County Center, Redwood City, CA
94063.
If you object to the granting of the peti-
tion, you should appear at the hearing
and state your objections or file written
objections with the court before the hear-
ing. Your appearance may be in person
or by your attorney.
If you are a creditor or a contingent cred-
itor of the decedent, you must file your
claim with the court and mail a copy to
the personal representative appointed by
the court within the later of either (1) four
months from the date of first issuance of
letters to a general personal representa-
tive, as defined in section 58(b) of the
California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days
from the date of mailing or personal de-
livery to you of a notice under section
9052 of the California Probate Code.
Other California statutes and legal au-
thority may affect your rights as a cred-
itor. You may want to consult with an at-
torney knowledgeable in California law.
You may examine the file kept by the
court. If you are a person interested in
the estate, you may file with the court a
Request for Special Notice (form DE-
154) of the filing of an inventory and ap-
praisal of estate assets or of any petition
or account as provided in Probate Code
section 1250. A Request for Special No-
tice form is available from the court clerk.

Syria hands over
last of declared
chemical weapons
By Toby Sterling and Menelaos Hadjicostas
NICOSIA, Cyprus Syria finished handing over to
Western powers Monday the 1,300 tons of chemical
weapons it acknowledged possessing, completing a deal
reached last fall under threat of U.S. airstrikes.
The most dangerous material will be transferred to an
American ship, which will move into international waters
and use specialized equipment to destroy the chemicals over
the next two months. Other material will be disposed of at
toxic waste sites in various countries.
Questions persist over whether Syrian President Bashar
Assad is hiding undeclared poison gases or attacking rebels
with chlorine a toxic industrial gas that is not specical-
ly classied as a chemical weapon.
But politicians and activists hailed Mondays milestone as
a victory for international diplomacy, and, at the least, a
clear reduction in the amount of chemicals available for use
in Syrias bloody civil war.
The news came amid extremely high tension across the
Middle East, as Israel carried out retaliatory strikes on Syria
and a Syrian cabinet member warned that Sunni insurgents in
Iraq have been funneling weapons to rebels in Syria.
The material handed over by Syria included mustard gas and
precursors to the nerve gas sarin.
Syria agreed to surrender its arsenal when the U.S. threat-
ened missile strikes in retaliation for a chemical attack on a
rebel-held suburb of Damascus. The attack is believed to
have killed more than 1,000 people.
The deal was put together by the United States and Russia,
which has been Assads most powerful international backer
during the war.
The Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical
Weapons, the watchdog agency overseeing Syrias disarma-
ment, conrmed that the nal 100 tons of chemicals had
been loaded onto a Danish ship in the Syrian port of Latakia.
The completion of the task came nearly two months past
the April 27 deadline set by the United Nations. The OPCW
said that was because of security concerns amid the ghting.
Rebels agree to abide by cease-fire in Ukraine
DONETSK, Ukraine Pro-Russian insurgents in eastern
Ukraine agreed Monday to respect a cease-re declared by the
Ukrainian president, raising hopes for an end to months of
ghting that have killed hundreds and ravaged the countrys
industrial heartland.
The announcement came as the Russian and U.S. presidents
traded demands over the conict. Russian President Vladimir
Putin urged direct talks between the government and the
rebels. President Barack Obama warned Putin that Moscow
will face additional costs if it does not help ease the crisis.
The insurgents pledge to respect the cease-re came on the
rst day of talks between a former Ukrainian president, the
Russian ambassador, European ofcials and the eastern sepa-
ratists who have declared independence. While the govern-
ment side was nominally not represented, ex-President
Leonid Kuchma attended the discussions at the request of the
sitting president.
The negotiations were launched in line with President Petro
Poroshenkos peace plan, which started Friday with a week-
long unilateral cease-re in the ghting that has killed more
than 350 people and forced tens of thousands to ee their
homes.Alexander Borodai, one of the rebel leaders who took
part in Mondays talks in Donetsk, said rebels would respect
Poroshenkos cease-re, which lasts through 0700 GMT (2
a.m. EDT) Friday.
Outcry after Egypt
sentences three reporters to prison
CAIRO An Egyptian court on Monday convicted three
Al-Jazeera journalists and sentenced them to seven years in
prison on terrorism-related charges after a trial dismissed by
rights groups as a politically motivated sham. The verdict
brought a landslide of international condemnation and calls
for the newly elected president to intervene.
The ruling stunned the defendants and their families, many
of whom had hoped their loved ones would be released
because of international pressure on the case. U.S. Secretary
of State John Kerry, who a day earlier had discussed the case
in a meeting with President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi, denounced
the verdict as chilling and draconian.
The unprecedented trial of journalists on terror charges was
tied up in the governments erce crackdown on Islamists and
the Muslim Brotherhood since the ouster last year of Islamist
President Mohammed Morsi by el-Sissi, then the army chief.
Further fueling accusations that the trial was politically moti-
vated is the Egyptian governments deep enmity with the
Gulf nation Qatar, which was a close ally of Morsi and which
owns the Al-Jazeera network.
