County planning $12.5M redesign of Middlefield Road
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The Downtown San Mateo
Association is searching for a new
leader after Executive Director
Jessica Evans, who helped over-
see community events, promote
local businesses and the arts,
unexpectedly resigned Friday.
Evans said
she left the
DSMA after two
inuential years
to assist with
business devel-
opment for a
startup compa-
ny and focus on
her family.
There were so many good
things that came together over the
last couple of years: winning the
Best of the Road, having a City
Council that made downtown a pri-
ority and having so many talented
people willing to just roll up their
sleeves and get involved. It was a
really great experience, Evans
wrote in an email.
Evans, who has a degree in city
planning and previously ran the
San Bruno Chamber of Commerce,
said she became a single mom
while working for the DSMA.
Its an amazing job, but its a
demanding job, especially in
terms of time. Lots of nights and
weekends. I was recently present-
ed with an opportunity ... that will
allow me the quality of life Im
looking for while my kids are still
little, Evans wrote.
Evans said her passion for vol-
unteer engagement and public art
prompted her to work for the

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO Two of the
nations largest public pension
funds on Monday reported invest-
ment returns of more than 18 per-
cent for the scal year.

Man claims kingdom so
daughter can be princess
ABINGDON, Va. A Virginia man
says he has claimed a kingdom in
Africa so his daughter can be a
princess.
Jeremiah Heaton told the Bristol
Herald Courier that he recently trekked
to a small, mountainous region
between Egypt and Sudan called Bir
Tawil. No country claims the land.
Heaton says he planted a flag
designed by his children there so that
he could become a king and more
importantly, so his 7-year-old daugh-
ter Emily could be a princess. They
named the area the Kingdom of North
Sudan.
Shelia Carapico, a professor of
political science and international
studies at the University of Richmond,
says Heaton would not have political
control over the land without legal
recognition from neighboring coun-
tries, the United Nations or other
groups.
Heaton says he hopes to get Sudan
and Egypt to recognize the kingdom.
Store accepts a
25-year-old gift certicate
WORCESTER, Mass. A
Massachusetts pop culture store has
honored a 25-year-old gift certicate.
Sierra Wales, assistant manager at
Thats Entertainment in Worcester,
says a longtime customer recently
brought in the $10 gift certificate
bought in 1989.
She tells The Republican newspaper
that the gift certicate had been sit-
ting in a drawer for years. The cus-
tomer had been meaning to bring it in
for some time and nally remembered
over the Fourth of July weekend.
She noted that the gift certicate
was older than most employees and
had actually been bought at the stores
old location.
The customer used it to buy a graph-
ic novel.
The 34-year-old business sells
comic books, graphic novels, toys,
sports memorabilia, music and other
pop culture items.
Wales says, When we say it never
expires, we really mean it.
Officials: Gasoline caused
mystery odor in homes
SKIPPACK, Pa. Gasoline-tainted
groundwater caused the mysterious
smell that led to a voluntary evacua-
tion of more than 150 homes in subur-
ban Philadelphia, authorities said
Monday.
The noxious odor primarily affected
three townhouses in Skippack after
contaminated water got into the sump
pumps, ofcials said. Fireghters were
ushing those pumps with fresh water
and airing out the homes with fans on
Monday evening.
Were relieved and hopeful that
what theyre doing will x it, said
resident Kourtnay Loughin, who called
911 about the very, very unpleasant
smell on Sunday evening.
Ofcials dont know how the gas got
into the groundwater, but Fire Chief
Haydn Marriott said residents health
was not in danger. He also noted the
substance was found in a system with
sealed pipes, creating little chance of
contamination to the surrounding
areas water supply.
Fireghters and environmental of-
cials used sensors Sunday night to try
to identify the problem. Residents of
more than 150 townhouses were asked
to leave after chemical odors were
detected at several units.
Metered equipment originally indi-
cated the presence of hydrogen
cyanide, a poisonous gas, in the
homes, but ofcials later said those
readings were false positives. No
signs of illness were reported.
By Monday morning, Marriott said
authorities had determined sump
pumps as the source of the smell, but
could not identify its composition. As
labs began analyzing samples, of-
cials retested some houses and allowed
owners to return after nding no dan-
ger.
Loughins unit and the two next door
registered high levels of the chemical
odor.
Its more of an annoyance than
anything, Marriott said.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
Eugene J. Majeski, founding partner of
the Redwood City firm Ropers Majeski
Kohn & Bentley died peacefully July 4, sur-
rounded by his family.
He was 97.
Born in Chicago on Christmas Eve,
1917, he attended DePaul University, grad-
uating with a B.S. degree in 1936 and his
law degree in 1940. He was admitted to the
Illinois Bar in 1940 and the California Bar
in 1946. After coming west, he began prac-
ticing law with Bronson, Bronson and
McKinnon in San Francisco. In 1948,
along with Harold Ropers, he moved down
the Peninsula and founded Ropers and
Majeski in Redwood City. Seventy-six
years later, the firm still bears his name
and, headquartered in Redwood City, now
has offices in San Francisco, San Jose, Los
Angeles, Boston and New York.
He tried well over 200 jury trials in state
and federal courts. He was
a member of the
American Board of Trial
Advocates and was named
Trial Lawyer of the Year
in 1989. He was a
Diplomate of the
International Academy of
Trial Lawyers and in
1985 was elected to the
Trial Lawyer Hall of
Fame by the Litigation Section of the State
Bar of California. He has been listed
among the Best Lawyers in America since
the list was first formulated in 1984. He
was long affiliated with the San Mateo
County Bar Association and the
Association of Defense Counsel and served
as president of both organizations.
Gene was a mentor to dozens upon
dozens of lawyers who started their
l egal careers at Ropers Maj eski ,
including many who moved on to suc-
cess at other law firms.
Gene was always willing to spend time
helping fellow partners and others with
their problems. He was generous with his
time and legal advice, always, on matters
big and small, said John Bentley,
Majeskis former partner of 50 years.
Another former partner, Judge Bart
Phelps, who joined Ropers Majeski in
1960, knew Gene for 67 years and went on
to a distinguished career on the Santa Clara
County Bench.
Genes strength as a trial lawyer was his
charm judges and juries loved him, said
Phelps.
Gene is survived by his wife Susan
Handelman Majeski, son John Majeski,
daughter Ann Majeski and by his wifes
children Kirsten Daru and Kaitlyn
Handelman.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made
to the Legal Aid Society of San Mateo.
Funeral services will remain private.
Three charged in disabled
parking permit crackdown
SAN FRANCISCO San Francisco prose-
cutors have charged three people with apply-
ing for disabled placards permits they did not
need, and a spokeswoman for the California
Department of Motor Vehicles says more
arrests are expected.
District Attorney George Gascon said
Monday that a 50-year-old woman and her
29-year-old son allegedly forged the signa-
ture of a doctor who had never treated them on
their applications for the permits that allow
motorists to use the blue parking spaces
reserved for the disabled and to park at meters
for free.
Gascon says a 35-year-old woman who
allegedly submitted seven applications over
four years also was arrested.
All three were charged with ling false doc-
uments, perjury and commercial burglary.
DMVspokeswoman Jessica Gonzalez says
the arrests are the rst from an ongoing
investigation that has identied at least 29
suspected cases of placard fraud since
February.

its crews pulled more than two dozen wind
surfers and kite boarders from the waters off
Crissy Field in San Francisco after they

The rescues took place between 5:30 p.m.
and 7:15 p.m. Sunday. Coast Guard Lt. Sean
Kelly said the 25 wind surfers and kite board-
ers were not in any immediate danger, and
none of them was hurt.
Still, the Coast Guard wanted to get them
out of San Francisco Bay to avoid any possi-
ble contact with the large commercial ships
that travel through the area.

REDDING A wildfire in Northern
California that authorities say was sparked
by exhaust from a truck at a marijuana culti-
vation site prompted new evacuations on
Monday as it kept growing.
It was not immediately clear how many
homes were included in the new evacuation
order in the rural community of Igo in
Shasta County.
Fire ofcials said the Bully Fire, which
started on Friday, was threatening 15
homes after destroying eight homes and 10
other structures. It had burned through
4,700 acres, or more than seven square
miles, and was 15 percent contained.
Fire crews have been hampered by steep
terrain and dry conditions. Temperatures
were expected to climb to 108 degrees on
Monday, state re spokeswoman Teresa Rea
said.
We have some very, very difcult condi-
tions were dealing with, she said.
About 100 additional firefighters were
called in overnight, bringing total person-
nel on the scene to more than 1,800.
A 27-year-old Sacramento man was
arrested Saturday and accused of recklessly
causing the re and with marijuana cultiva-
tion, both felonies, the California
Department of Fire and Forestry Protection
said.
Freddie Alexander Smoke III was deliver-
ing material to the pot site when the
exhaust from his truck ignited dry grass,
authorities said. The Shasta County district
attorney has not yet reviewed the case and
it could not be determined if Smoke has a
lawyer.
Meanwhile, in Central California con-
tainment of a fire in Sequoia National
Forest increased to 60 percent after burning
more than 2 1/2 square miles.

Family caregivers use
relaxation to reduce stress
Learn an easy method to use
at home to reduce stress
and anxiety
By Erica Werner
WASHINGTON Two Texas
lawmakers announced legislation
Monday to speed removals of tens
of thousands of Central American
kids from the U.S.-Mexico border,
as Washington groped for a solu-
tion to the mounting crisis.
Legislation brought forward by
Sen. John Cornyn, a Republican,
and Rep. Henry Cuellar, a
Democrat, would allow U.S.
Border Patrol agents to turn many
of the kids around quickly at the
border. Under current law, the
youths stay here while awaiting an
eventual hearing in the back-
logged immigration court system,
something that can keep them in
this country for years.
Of more than 57,000 unaccom-
panied minors whove arrived at
the border since October, only
1,254 had been returned home as
of the end of June, according to a
law enforcement official who
spoke anonymously to discuss
condential data.
The border region in Texas has
been overwhelmed over the past
few months by a deluge of undocu-
mented immigrants from Central
America, Cuellar said in a state-
ment. Todays legislation
strengthens current law protecting
unaccompanied children and
responds to the crisis.
The bill comes as the White
House is trying to get Congress to
sign off on a $3.7 billion emer-
gency spending request to deal
with the situation at the border by
adding more immigration judges
and detention facilities, among
other steps.
Republicans have made clear
they wont agree to such spending
without policy changes along the
lines of what Cornyn and Cuellar
are seeking, and the White House
has indicated support for some
such changes. But immigrant
advocacy groups and key Senate
Democrats are opposed, making it
unclear if a deal can be struck in
the three weeks that remain before
Congress leaves Washington for
its annual August recess.
The Cornyn-Cuellar bill would
amend a 2008 law passed to
address victims of sex trafcking.
That legislation guaranteed pro-
tections to unaccompanied youths
arriving here from noncontigu-
ous countries anywhere except
Mexico or Canada. The existing
law requires such youths to be
turned over to the custody of the
Health and Human Services
Department within 72 hours, and
from there they are generally
placed with family members or
others while awaiting a long-dis-
tant court hearing they may never
attend.
The Cornyn-Cuellar bill would
allow Central American kids to be
treated the same as those from
Mexico, whose people can be sent
back over the border quickly
unless they are able to persuade
Border Patrol agents that they
have a fear of return, meriting fur-
ther screening.
White House and Obama admin-
istration ofcials have said they
support this change, but in face of
objections from allies in the
immigrant advocacy community
they have yet to propose it of-
cially.
Spokesman Josh Earnest said
the White House welcomes con-
structive engagement from
Republicans but will wait to see
the actual legislation.

WASHINGTON The Army has
given Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl a desk job,
ending the formal phase of his transi-
tion from Taliban prisoner to not-
quite-ordinary soldier, and setting the
stage for Army investigators to ques-

Bergdahl has

Tillamook cheese vans that were stolen over
the weekend.
Manteca police say the restored

pulled by a Ford F-350 pickup that also
painted orange. Police say it appears that
somebody drove off with the entire rig.
The Manteca Bulletin reports that the

California community
cracking down on nut thefts
MODESTO ACentral California county
is going after walnut thieves.
Stanislaus County supervisors are set to
consider an ordinance on Tuesday that would
require anyone buying, selling or possess-
ing walnuts for commercial purposes to
show proof of ownership. The proof of own-
ership would require more information than
what state ofcials currently mandate.
The ordinance would also establish a buy-
ing period for nuts.
It comes as farmers have reported an
uptick in walnut thefts. The nuts price of
six cents each along with the ease with
which they can be gathered have made them
a target. Five other California counties have
similar regulations.

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

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

Who Or What Is Gladstone And
Why This Is Important

JERUSALEM Egypt presented a cease-
re plan Monday to end a week of heavy
ghting between Israel and Hamas militants
in the Gaza Strip that has left at least 185
people dead, and both sides said they were
seriously considering the proposal.
The late-night offer by Egypt marked the
rst sign of a breakthrough in international
efforts to end the conict.
Hamas top leader in Gaza conrmed there
was diplomatic movement, while Israels
policy-making Security Cabinet was set to
discuss the proposal early Tuesday. Arab
foreign ministers discussed the plan
Monday night at an emergency meeting in
Cairo, and U.S. Secretary of State John
Kerry was expected in the region Tuesday.
Egypts Foreign Ministry announced the
three-step plan starting at 9 a.m. (0600
GMT, 2 a.m. EDT) with a cease-re to go
into effect within 12 hours of uncondition-
al acceptance by the two sides. That would
be followed by the opening of Gazas border
crossings and talks in Cairo between the
sides within two days, according to the
statement.
Gazas crossings should be opened for
people and goods once the security situa-
tion becomes stable, according to a copy
of the proposal obtained by the Associated
Press.
The United States welcomed the cease-re
plan. White House spokeswoman
Bernadette Meehan said the U.S. hopes the
plan will lead to calm being restored as
soon as possible and that escalation wont
benet Israelis or Palestinians.
Israel launched the offensive July 8,
saying it was a response to weeks of
heavy rocket fire out of Hamas-ruled
Gaza. The Health Ministry in Gaza said
185 people, including dozens of civil-
ians, have been killed, and more than
1,000 people wounded.
There have been no Israelis killed,
although several have been wounded by
rocket shrapnel, including two sisters, ages
11 and 13, who were seriously hurt Monday.
Ahead of the Egyptian announcement, there
appeared to be no slowdown in the ghting,
with Hamas for the rst time launching an
unmanned drone into Israeli airspace that
was shot down.
The Israeli military said 3 rockets were
fired at the southern city of Eilat early
Tuesday morning, lightly injuring two peo-
ple and sparking a re. The military said it
did not immediately know who was behind
the rocket re. Previous rocket attacks on
Eilat were from radical Islamic militants in
the neighboring Sinai Peninsula.
The violence followed the kidnappings
and killings of three Israeli teenagers in the
West Bank last month, as well as the subse-
quent kidnapping and killing of a
Palestinian teenager in an apparent revenge
attack, along with Israeli raids against
Hamas militants and infrastructure in the
West Bank.
Israeli ofcials have said the goal of the
military campaign is to restore quiet to
Israels south, which has absorbed hundreds
of rocket strikes, and that any cease-re
would have to include guarantees of an
extended period of calm.
Hamas ofcials say they will not accept
calm for calm. The group is demanding an
easing of an Israeli-Egyptian blockade that
has ground Gazas economy to a standstill
and that Israel release dozens of prisoners
who were arrested in a recent West Bank
crackdown following the abductions of the
Israeli youths.
With the death toll mounting, both sides
have come under increasing international
pressure to halt the ghting.
Egypt Foreign Minister Sameh Shukri
said there is no alternative but return to the
truce of November 2012, and added that
Egypt contacted all the parties, including
the Palestinian leadership, different
Palestinian factions, and Israeli authorities
in addition to Arab and international par-
ties. Such contacts led to shaping up the
proposal which called for cease-re.
Egypt stresses the international respon-
sibility toward what is happening in
Palestine, he said.
In a speech broadcast on Al-Jazeera,
Ismail Haniyeh, a Hamas leader in Gaza,
confirmed there was diplomatic move-
ment.
The problem is not going back to the
agreement on calm because we want this
aggression to stop, he said. The siege
must stop and Gaza people need to live in
dignity.
An Israeli ofcial said Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu would convene his
Security Cabinet on Tuesday morning to
discuss the proposal. He spoke on condi-
tion of anonymity because he was not
authorized to talk to the media.
Naftali Bennett, a member of the Security
Cabinet, said he would oppose the propos-
al, calling it good for Hamas and bad for
Israel.
Acease-re at the present time shows the
governments weakness, he said in a state-
ment. Acease-re now will create a bigger
campaign against the south of the country
and more rocket attacks in another year.
Egypt, the rst Arab state to reach peace
with Israel, often serves as a mediator
between Israel and Hamas.

LOS ANGELES Afederal ofcer red his
weapon once at men in a truck as they ed a
pro-Israel rally in Los Angeles after using
wooden poles bearing Palestinian ags to hit
protesters, authorities said Monday.
The incident, which resulted in four arrests
and no injuries, occurred at the rally on
Sunday outside the Federal Building in
Westwood.
The rally was held as Israel continued an
offensive against Hamas that had killed 160
people and forced thousands of Palestinian
residents to ee their homes.
Palestinian militants in the Gaza Strip have
launched more than 800 rockets at Israel.
The pro-Israel rally in Los Angeles attracted
as many as 1,800 people, including some
pro-Palestinian demonstrators. Several were
in a truck with a Palestinian ag when a pro-
Israel demonstrator grabbed the ag and
stepped on it, Los Angeles County Sheriffs
Sgt. Dave Valentine said.
The men in the truck confronted the demon-
strators and struck multiple people with their
agpoles, Valentine said.
An ofcer who typically provides security
for federal buildings tried to stop the four men
from attempting to ee and red a shot from
his service weapon, Federal Protective
Service spokeswoman Jacqueline Yost said in
a statement.
The name of the ofcer was not released.
Yost had no further details on what the of-
cer was aiming at or what steps were taken
before the weapon was discharged.
An ambulance was called for a woman who
was injured after apparently being hit by the
men, Yost said. Los Angeles re spokesman
Erik Scott said no one was transported to a
hospital.
Police later caught up with the truck, and
four men were arrested and booked on suspi-
cion of assault with a deadly weapon,
Valentine said.
The men, 19-year-old Mostadafa
Gamaleldin Hafez, 41-year-old Hassan
Mustapha Kreidieh, 35-year-old Mohammed
Said Elkhatib and 38-year-old Fadi Ali
Obeidallah, all posted $30,000 bail Monday.

ABUJA, Nigeria The Pakistani teen
who survived a Taliban assassination
attempt in 2012 marked her 17th birthday
Monday with a visit to Nigeria and urged
Islamic extremists to free the 219 school-
girls who were kidnapped there, calling
them her sisters.
Malala Yousafzai, who has become an
international symbol for womens rights in
the face of hard-line Islam, said Nigerias
president promised to meet for the rst time
with the abducted girls parents.
My birthday wish this year is Bring
Back Our Girls now and alive, she said,
using the social media slogan that has been
picked up around the world to demand free-
dom for the girls, who were abducted by the
extremist group Boko Haram in April from
a school in the remote northeast Nigerian
town of Chibok.
Malala appealed directly to their captors
as she held hands with some of the girls
who escaped.
Lay down your weapons. Release your
sisters. Release my sisters. Release the
daughters of this nation. Let them be free.
They have committed no crime.
She added: You are misusing the name of
Islam ... Islam is a religion of peace.
Malala also spoke against the custom of
child brides in her home country, a tradi-
tion common in Nigeria, too. Boko Haram
has threatened to sell some of the girls as
brides if its ghters are not freed.
Protect girls from cruelty, she said in a
speech, explaining that girls should not be
forced to marry or to leave school to
become brides when they should be girls,
or to give birth to children when they
themselves are children.
Boko Haram attacks continued over the
weekend with witnesses blaming the group
for the bombing of a major bridge on a
northeast Nigerian highway that further
limits access to its base camps in the
Sambisa Forest, where it is believed to be
holding some of the girls.
Gunmen destroyed most of the bridge on
the road between Maiduguri and Biu on
Saturday night, making it impossible for
vehicles to cross, the spokesman for the
Nigerian Vigilante Group, Abbas Gava,
told the Associated Press.
Malala met Monday with Nigerias
President Goodluck Jonathan and told
reporters that the president promised me
that the girls will be returned as soon as
possible.
She described an emotional meeting
Sunday with some of the girls parents.
I could see tears in their eyes. They were
hopeless. But they seem to have this hope
in their hearts, and they were asking if
they could meet the president.
Jonathan has not met with any of the par-
ents, though some regularly make the dan-
gerous drive from Chibok to join activists
who have held daily rallies in Abuja.
When the activists tried to march peace-
fully to the presidential villa in May, they
were blocked by soldiers and police.
Jonathan canceled a planned trip to Chibok
that same month.
On Monday, he told Malala that criticism
that his government is not doing enough is
wrong and misplaced, according to a
presidential statement.
The great challenge in rescuing the
Chibok girls is the need to ensure that they
are rescued alive, he said, insisting his
government is actively pursuing all feasi-
ble options to achieve their safe return.
Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau put
out a new video Sunday in which he repeat-
ed demands that the government release
detained insurgents in exchange for the
girls freedom.
Nigerians are saying Bring Back Our
Girls, and we are telling Jonathan to bring
back our arrested warriors, our army, he
said in the video, which was obtained by
the AP through similar channels used for
previous messages.
Jonathan so far has refused, despite
pleas from the parents.
Since the mass abduction, Boko Haram
has increased the number and deadliness of
its attacks with a two-pronged approach
bombing cities and towns and a
scorched-earth strategy in villages, gun-
ning down villagers, looting livestock
and burning down huts.
In the new video, Shekau crowed over
recent victories, including two explo-
sions at a fuel depot in Lagos that the gov-
ernment tried to cover up. It would be the
first reported bombing by Boko Haram in
Lagos Nigerias commercial capital, an
Atlantic port and probably the continents
most populous city with some 20 million
people. The attack also raises fears that
the insurgency is spreading beyond its
stronghold at the opposite end of the
country.
At least four people died in the June 25
blasts, including an alleged female suicide
bomber, according to Western diplomats
who spoke on condition of anonymity
because of the sensitivity of the issue.
Shekau also claimed responsibility for
another bomb that went off hours before at
the biggest shopping mall in Nigerias
capital, Abuja, killing at least 21 people.
Pakistani teen seeks release of Nigerian girls
By Matthew Knight
LONDON The Church of England ended
one of its longest and most divisive disputes
Monday with an overwhelming vote in favor
of allowing women to become bishops.
The churchs national assembly, known as
the General Synod, voted for the historic
measure, reaching the required two-thirds
majority in each of its three different houses.
In total, 351 members of the three houses
approved of the move. Only 72 voted against
and 10 abstained.
Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby
said the long-awaited change marks the com-
pletion of a process that started more than 20
years ago with the ordination of women as
priests. He called for tolerance and love for
those traditionalists who disagree with the
decision.
As delighted as I am for the outcome of
this vote I am also mindful of whose within
the church for whom the result will be dif-
cult and a cause of sorrow, he said in a state-
ment.
British Prime Minister David Cameron
called it a great day for the Church and for
equality.
Opponents argued that allowing women
into such a senior position in the church
goes against the Bible. Others warned that
the church should not be guided by secular
ethics.
Lay member Lorna Ashworth, who did not
support the move, said the church has entered
new territory. This is something we have to
work out as we go along, she said.
The Church of England represents diverse
religious groups from conservative evangel-
icals to supporters of gay marriage. Major
changes can take years, even decades to bring
about.
Two years ago similar legislation narrowly
failed to reach the two-thirds majority with
lay members, despite the approval from
bishops and clergy.
After that vote failed, the church worked to
build trust with its lay members, who lagged
behind church leaders on the question of
female bishops, and make the legislation
more acceptable to opponents.
At the same time the church came under
increasing pressure from the outside to
reform in favor of women. Some of those
who changed their vote this time around said
they did not want to block changes the
majority was happy with.
Mondays vote marks the latest advance of
women in the church hierarchy.
The General Synod ruled in 1975 there was
no fundamental objection to women becom-
ing priests, but it took nearly two decades for
the rst women to be ordained.
Things are likely to move faster for aspir-
ing female bishops. Welby told the BBC he
expects the rst woman bishop in the Church
of England by next year.
He was less sure when asked if there will be
a female Archbishop of Canterbury in his
lifetime: Ive no idea. Id be delighted if I
did.
The Church of England was established by
King Henry VIII who appointed himself as its
head in 1534. The government still formally
appoints the Archbishop of Canterbury, the
spiritual leader of the church, and Queen
Elizabeth II serves as its supreme governor.
Parliament maintains a role in church
affairs, and will be called upon to ratify the
female bishop legislation. Some 26 bishops
are allocated seats in the House of Lords.
The Church of England is part of the glob-
al Anglican Communion with 77 million
members in more than 160 countries. The
Episcopal Church in the Unites States was
the rst member to have a woman bishop and
is now led by a woman.

Many lies
Editor,
In answer to the letter in the July 5-

Guerrero titled Cheneys blame
Obama, Guerrero states, we went to
war based on a mountain of lies, chief
among those that were Saddam
Hussein was in possession of
weapons of mass destruction. That
was a lie? He gassed and killed 300
Kurds. Isnt gas a weapon of mass
destruction? When an invasion was
imminent by the United States, he
trucked his massive supply to Syria,
and thats the gas that Obama drew a
red line about, but did nothing. So
please Mr. Guerrero, no more of those

Suggested payment
for college athletes
Editor,
The following proposal is an
attempt to solve the question of pay-
ing college athletes. The pay would
apply to college football Division
I teams only. To qualify for compen-
sation, a varsity football player must
complete a four-year program and
must graduate with a degree. On that
basis, payment would include a six-
month season, starting with August
through January. Compensation
would include $2,000 per month for a
six-month season, totaling $12,000.
Completion of four years would total
$48,000. The payment is in the form
of an insurance policy, payable at the
completion of four seasons. Atotal of
$48,000 insurance policy would start
at graduation time. The policy must
remain in force for 20 years. At that
time, the policy can be cashed out.
By this time, the cash can be used for
offspring college expenses.
This compensation offer would
only apply to the football program.
Other sports would apply in the
future, based upon the success of this
football program. Of course, this
plan would be subject to ne-tuning.
Also, the legality of this program
should be established.

Objectivity in reporting
Editor,
The goal of good journalism is
surely objectivity in news reporting.
I question the Daily Journals con-
formity to this when the front page
headline on the July 12-13 edition
reads Israel shows no sign of letting
up while the headline of the news
article itself on page 16 reads, No
end to Israeli offensive. What hap-
pened to objectivity and what hap-
pened to those almost 1,000 rockets
consistently and indiscriminately
red by Hamas at the heart of Israeli
population centers?

Living in peace
Editor,
As more and more people through-
out the world are caught up in war and
desolation, the ongoing plea from
Pope Francis for men, women and
children everywhere to pray for peace
and reconciliation becomes increas-
ingly urgent. Speaking with simple
truth and honesty, Pope Francis clear-
ly sees and understands the need for
each of us to have the faith and the
courage to pray and advocate unceas-
ingly for peace.
In his graceful and powerful words,
Francis tells us while peace is a gift
from God, it is also built out of the
day-to-day hard work of individuals.

Letters to the editor
The Commercial
Appeal, Memphis, Tennessee
Unemployment in the United States
fell in June to 6.1 percent from 6.3
percent in May, the lowest rate since
the fall of 2008. Thats when nan-
cial giant Lehman Brothers collapsed,
taking with it in house-of-cards fash-
ion other Wall Street rms and a good
chunk of the auto industry, along with
a lot of other luckless companies.
That prompted an unprecedented
government bailout that pumped bil-
lions of dollars into banks and busi-
nesses and continues even to this day,
in much-diminished form, through the
Federal Reserves bond buying pro-
gram. Now, thanks to the robust eco-
nomic recovery, that program may be
nearing its end.
The economy added 288,000 jobs
last month and 2.5 million jobs in
the last 12, the fastest annual growth
since 2006. According to The
Associated Press, the 200,000-plus
monthly job gains over the past ve
months have been the best stretch
since the 1990s tech boom
although we must hope this growth
comes to a better ending than the sub-
sequent tech bust.
Job gains were spread across the
economy factories, retailers, nan-
cial rms, restaurants and bars all
added substantially to their payrolls.
And employment got a boost from
another surprising quarter govern-
ment hiring, which began to tail off
in 2007 and began shedding employ-
ees every year from 2009 to 2013.
Public-sector hiring has increased by
54,000 jobs so far this year, good
news for hollowed-out local and state
governments.
The rst-quarter 2.9 percent decline
in gross domestic product is increas-
ingly looking like a weather-related
anomaly. Economists polled by the
British newspaper The Guardian
seemed to agree that the worlds
largest economy is in good shape
with strong underlying momentum.
There are two other anomalies that
are perhaps cause for worry. Wage
growth has remained at an anemic 2
percent a year during the recovery,
well below the historical average of
3.5 percent. The U.S. economy
depends heavily on consumer spend-
ing and 2 percent a year is not going
to do much to help that. Some think
wages will pick up along with the
economy, a view that seems to have
not yet caught on with employers.
The other anomaly is that work-
force participation the number of
Americans working or actively look-
ing for work is stuck at a low of
just over 62 percent. The problem is
no longer purely economic; the jobs
are there, and employers are hiring. It
might be structural: workers stuck in
the wrong place or with the wrong
skills. Or it could be societal: Older
workers who lost their jobs and are
content to scrape along until retire-
ment age and Social Security or des-
perate workers who are willing to
work off the books.
Abooming economy solves all
kinds of problems and ultimately
these may be two of them.
Jobs growth
The wonders of the
county never cease
W
hats so great about San Mateo County? No,
seriously. As the economic bubble once
again swells, Bay Area roads congest fur-
ther, rents soar and home ownership becomes even
more elusive for those outside the tech jackpot unwill-
ing or unable to crowd multiple bodies into a studio
apartment, sell a kidney, inherit well or marry and
divorce better. The average price of a San Mateo
County home according to May data is $1.13 million.
Maybe make that two kidneys plus some plasma, then.
Point being, the astronomical cost of living in this
corner of the state often leads those outside it to won-
der what in the heck is so fantastic about the Peninsula
that folks are willing to forgo food and the ability to
pad a savings account simply for the opportunity to
call San Mateo County
home. Is there a hidden
Fountain of Youth? Do the
trees actually grow money?
Are those mints left with the
restaurant bill actually some
sort of happy pill?
Joking aside, it is under-
standable to see why others
might not see what makes
San Mateo County tick.
Frankly, it is also easy for
residents to grow comfy in
their day-to-day existence and forget about the regions
hidden gems. Perhaps its time to take a look around
and remind yourself and everybody else what is so
great about this place.
Literally, seven years ago this month I proposed
forming a list of the Seven Wonders of San Mateo
County. Why should the rest of the world horde all the
designated places one should see before signing off
from this life, I figured. At the time remember this
was 2007 I offered a few humble suggestions befit-
ting the county and the time period: Tom the Tree in
Burlingame, the proposed but never accepted Peace
Pole of Belmont, the South San Francisco sign, the
wooden owl of the White Oak neighborhood, IKEA i n
East Palo Alto and Estrella Benavides San Mateo home
emblazoned with brightly hued messages from God.
In response, readers offered their own outpouring of
suggestions both serious and tongue in cheek, of local
competition for the Taj Mahal and Hanging Gardens of
Babylon. One suggested the Redwood City parking
meters for the pure mystery of how the then-new sys-
tem worked. Another included the Kmart store at
Concar Drive and Delaware Street, noting that it
seemed to be the only Kmart store to have survived its
financial crash. Flash forward seven years to now and
the Kmart is about to bid farewell. Like those other
Seven Wonders, the Kmart will soon be nothing but a
historical notation.
Aside from the heavy dose of snark, the call for won-
ders also turned up some very serious contenders for
what makes San Mateo County special. The Father
Junipero Serra statue at the Interstate 280 rest stop,
the Crystal Springs Reservoir, the Pulgas Water
Temple, Bair Island. Areader mentioned the Igloo
House in Hillsborough. Id never before even heard of
t hat .
So indulge me again, dear readers. What else is out
there in San Mateo County, wondrous, quirky, special
or kooky enough to help explain why newbies want to
come and old-timers want to stay. Are those looking
for a little older lady love misguided by the preponder-
ance of mountain lions? Is the doggie diner head at the
Peninsula Humane Society a fun thing to show visi-
tors? You cant find that in central Kansas. Maybe the
reported ghosts traipsing through the Carolands
Mansion or Union Cemetery is what does it for you. Or
maybe what makes San Mateo County special is specif-
ic to your needs that corner barber that still delivers
straight-edge shaves, those certain purveyors at the
farmers market, that perfect spot for stargazing that
nobody else seems to know about it.
Lots of people wonder what it is about San Mateo
County. Help give them some answers.

Big movers
By Alex Veiga
Stocks shook off last weeks dol-
drums and finished sharply higher
Monday, driven by a round of corpo-
rate deal news and strong earnings
from Citigroup.
Investors cheered AECOM
Technologys $4 billion acquisition
of engineering and construction serv-
ices company URS Corp., sending
URS stock up 11.6 percent and
AECOM 8.6 percent.
Citigroup rose 3 percent after the
bank turned in better-than-expected
results and disclosed it has agreed to
pay $7 billion to settle a federal probe
into its mortgage securities business.
JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Goldman
Sachs, due to report earnings Tuesday,
also got a lift.
All told, the three major stock
indexes notched their second gain in
two days.
Thats a turnaround from last week,
when the Standard & Poors 500 index
lost 0.9 percent, its worst showing
since April.
Concern about Portugals Espirito
Santo International, which reportedly
missed a debt payment last week,
harked back to issues that spawned
Europes debt crisis.
On Monday, investors appeared to
be reassured any problems would be
contained.
Investors are saying if this
Portugal thing really isnt signicant
from an impact standpoint, and the
earnings are coming in good ... stocks
ought to be going higher, said Phil
Orlando, chief equity strategist at
Federated Investments.
The major indexes rose in premarket
trading as investors digested
Citigroups earnings. They opened in
the green and held steady through the
entire session.
The Standard & Poors 500 index
rose 9.53 points, or 0.5 percent, to
1,977.10. The index is down 0.4 per-
cent from its most recent all-time high
of 1,985.44 set July 3.
Nine of the 10 sectors in the S&P
500 rose, led by energy stocks.
Utilities fell the most.
The Dow Jones industrial average
added 111.61 points, or 0.7 percent, to
17,055.42. The Dow is down slightly
from its July 3 record of 17,068.65.
The Nasdaq composite gained 24.93
points, or 0.6 percent, to 4,440.42.
The three stock indexes are all up for
the year.
The yield on the 10-year Treasury
note rose to 2.54 percent from 2.52
percent late Friday.
With the market trading near all-time
highs, investors will be focused this
week on a large number of corporate
earnings, including quarterly reports
from General Electric, Google, Bank
of America and Johnson & Johnson.
So far investors like what they see.
We got started off with a very good
report out of Citibank this morning,
Orlando said. And economic news
this week retail sales, capacity uti-
lization, housing data, condence data
is all supposed to be pretty good.
Citigroup rose $1.42, or 3 percent,
to $48.42.
Several other big investment banks
also rose. Morgan Stanley added 40
cents, or 1.3 percent, to $31.81, while
Goldman Sachs rose $2.20, or 1.3 per-
cent, to $167. JPMorgan Chase
climbed 49 cents, or 0.9 percent, to
$56.29.
Recent data point to an improving
U.S. economy after a slow start this
year.
Employers added 288,000 jobs last
month, the fifth straight month of
gains above 200,000. And the nation-
al unemployment rate slid to 6.1 per-
cent, a 5 1/2-year low.
More people with jobs means more
paychecks, which could boost con-
sumer spending and growth.
Youre starting to stack up some
fairly impressive jobs numbers, said
Liz Ann Sonders, chief investment
strategist at Charles Schwab & Co.
Theres a lot of momentum to this
market.
Stocks move higher on earnings
By Tom Murphy
A growing number of U.S. compa-
nies are looking to trim their tax bills
by combining operations with foreign
businesses in a trend that may eventu-
ally cost the federal government bil-
lions of dollars in revenue.
Generic drugmaker Mylan Inc. said
Monday it will become part of a new
company organized in the Netherlands
in a $5.3 billion deal to acquire some
of Abbott Laboratories generic-drugs
business. The deal is expected to lower
Mylans tax rate to about 20 percent to
21 percent in the rst full year and to
the high teens after that.
The Canonsburg, Pennsylvania-
companys deal follows a path
explored by several other U.S. drug-
makers in recent months. AbbVie Inc.
has entered talks with Shire Plc. over a
roughly $53.68 billion deal that would
lead to a lower tax rate and a company
organized on the British island of
Jersey.
But drugmakers arent the only com-
panies looking overseas for better tax
deals.
Last month, U.S. medical device
maker Medtronic Inc. said that it had
agreed to buy Ireland-based competitor
Covidien for $42.9 billion in cash and
stock. The combined company would
have executive offices in Ireland,
which has a 12.5 percent corporate
income tax rate. And drugstore chain
Walgreen Co. which bills itself as
Americas premier pharmacy also
is considering a similar move with
Swiss health and beauty retailer
Alliance Boots.
These tax-lowering overseas deals,
which are called inversions, have
raised concerns among some U.S. law-
makers over the potential for lost tax
revenue. But business experts say U.S.
companies that nd the right deal have
to consider inversions due to the
heavy tax burden they face back home.
At 35 percent, the United States
offers the highest corporate income
tax rate in the industrialized world. By
contrast, the European Union has an
average tax rate of 21 percent, said
Donald Goldman, a professor at
Arizona State Universitys W. P. Carey
School of Business.
In addition to the higher rate, the
United States also taxes the income
companies earn overseas once they
bring it back home. The tax is the dif-
ference between the rate the company
paid where it earned the income and the
U.S. rate.
U.S. companies look overseas for tax bill relief
By Eric Tucker
WASHINGTON Citigroup has
agreed to pay $7 billion to settle a fed-
eral investigation into its handling of
risky subprime mortgages, admitting
to a pattern of deception that Attorney
General Eric Holder said shattered
lives and contributed to the worst
nancial crisis in decades, the Justice
Department said Monday.
The settlement represents a moment
of reckoning for one of the countrys
biggest and most signicant banks,
which is now accountable for providing
some nancial support to Americans
whose lives were dismantled by the
largest economic meltdown since the
Great Depression.
In addition to a $4 billion civil
penalty being paid to the federal gov-
ernment, the bank will also pay $2.5
billion in consumer relief to help bor-
rowers who lost their homes to foreclo-
sure and about $500 million to settle
claims from state attorneys general and
the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation.
The agreement does not preclude the
possibility of criminal prosecutions
for the bank or individual employees in
the future, Holder said.
The $7 billion settlement, which rep-
resents about half of Citigroups $13.7
billion prot last year, is the latest sub-
stantial penalty sought for a bank or
mortgage company at the epicenter of
the housing crisis. The Justice
Department, criticized for not being
aggressive enough in targeting nan-
cial misconduct, has in the last year
reached a $13 billion deal with
JPMorgan Chase & Co., the nations
largest bank, and also sued Bank of
America Corp. for misleading investors
in its sale of mortgage-linked securi-
ties.
Yet the settlement packages pale in
size compared to the broader damages
caused by the Great Recession. The
unemployment rate spiked to 10 per-
cent as millions lost their jobs and
their homes, causing losses that totaled
in the trillions of dollars. Public advo-
cacy groups criticized the settlement as
a sweetheart deal.
In the context of the damage done,
the damage even described by the attor-
ney general, were not even in the same
ballpark, said Bartlett Naylor, a nan-
cial policy advocate for Public Citizen,
which represents consumer interests.
The settlement stems from the sale of
toxic securities made up of subprime
mortgages, which led to both the hous-
ing boom and bust that triggered the
Great Recession at the end of 2007.
Banks, including Citigroup, minimized
the risks of subprime mortgages when
packaging and selling them to mutual
funds, investment trusts and pensions,
as well as other banks and investors.
The securities contained residential
mortgages from borrowers who were
unlikely to be able to repay their loans,
yet were publicly promoted as relative-
ly safe investments until the housing
market collapsed in 2006 and 2007 and
investors suffered billions of dollars in
losses.
Citigroup to pay $7 billion in
subprime mortgages probe
ECBs Draghi: Stronger euro could hurt recovery
FRANKFURT, Germany European Central Bank head
Mario Draghi said Monday that a stronger euro would put
at risk the shaky recovery in the 18 countries that use the
shared currency.
Draghi made the remark to legislators in the European
Parliament in Strasbourg amid worries that the modest
rebound in Europe is stalling. Data showed industrial pro-
duction fell by 1.1 percent in May in the currency zone.
Astronger euro would hurt export-dependent businesses.
However Draghi offered no new steps to boost the econo-
my beyond the raft of measures the bank announced on
May 8. Markets shrugged off the remark and the euro trad-
ed little changed at around $1.36.
At that level, it is down from its 2014 peak of just below
$1.40, its highest in 2 1/2 years.
Draghi said that while the bank does not target any par-
ticular exchange rate it would monitor the effect of any
appreciation of the euro because that would affect the ina-
tion rate, the banks chief policy target. He said that the
exchange rate remains an important driver of future ina-
tion in the euro area, adding that in the present context,
an appreciated exchange rate is a risk to the sustainability
of the recovery.
Draghi gave little indication that the bank was ready to
move beyond its current efforts to raise ination and spur
the economy. The ECB has raised the possibility of buy-
ing nancial assets such as government bonds to pump
new money into the economy.
Oil barely changed; U.S. gas
prices at three-month lows
Lacking any catalysts, the price of oil barely changed
Monday. Meanwhile, gasoline prices in the U.S. slipped
to three-month lows.
Benchmark U.S. crude for August delivery rose 8 cents at
$100.91 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
The Nymex contract fell 3.1 percent last week and is down
4.3 percent so far in July. Brent crude, a benchmark for
international oils, gained 45 cents to $107.71 on the ICE
Futures exchange in London.
The average price for a gallon of gasoline in the U.S. is
$3.61 a gallon, the lowest since April 10, according to
AAA. Gas is about 4 cents cheaper than a week ago, but
drivers are still paying around a penny more than at this
time last year.

The Fog City of California wreaked havoc
on Half Moon Bay Joe DiMaggios regular
season finale Monday at Pacificas
Fairbanks Field.
The Pacica fog was one major factor in
Half Moon Bays 2-1 loss to the San
Francisco Wildcats. The other was Wildcats
starting pitcher Chad Johnstone, who was
nails to the strike zone through ve innings
of three-hit baseball to earn the win.
Only one of the hits the right-hander sur-
rendered was struck with authority. Half
Moon Bays Chet Silveria led off the fth
with a booming double to left-center.
Silveria eventually scored on an RBI
groundout off the bat of Ryan Mattel.
It was the only run San Francisco pitchers
would surrender though, as Julian Shallop
worked two innings to close it out, facing
just one over the minimum to earn the save.
All told, the game lasted just one hour, 20
minutes much in part to Johnstones
rapid pace on the mound.
He was throwing strikes; that was key,
Wildcats manager Chris Gaggero said.
When hes working good, thats how he is
and tonight is the best hes thrown for
me in the three years Ive had him.
With the Wildcats composed entirely of
St. Ignatius players, Johnstone is one of
four Pacica natives on roster. The Wildcats
also tout four San Mateo residents: Nick
Russo, Brendan Niland, Dominic Tognotti
and Riley Krook.

MINNEAPOLIS Oaklands Yoenis
Cespedes became the rst repeat winner of the
All-Star home run derby in 15 years, powering
his way past Cincinnatis Todd Frazier by a
whopping 9-1 in the nal round Monday
night.
Ken Griffey Jr. took the title in 1998 and
1999.
With a serious, determined look on his face
the whole time, Cespedes nished with 28
homers. That was four fewer than last year,
when he beat Washingtons Bryce Harper 9-8
in the nal round.
Cespedes saved his best for last, a 452-foot
blast to the third deck above left eld that of-
cially measured as the longest of the night.
Athletics third base coach Mike Gallego
again pitched to Cespedes, who went deep 32
times in last years derby at Citi Field in New
York. Gallegos arm looked nearly out of gas
by the nal round, which started after 10:30
p.m. local time.
Cespedes topped Torontos Jose Bautista,
and Frazier surprisingly beat Miamis
Giancarlo Stanton in the seminals.
Bautista and Stanton each earned a bye to the
seminals under the new bracketed format,
which gave each player seven outs and pitted
the survivors from each side in the nal round.
Bautista went deep 10 times in the rst round,
keeping the fans in the second deck above left
eld on their toes, and Stanton hit six.
That was all, though.
After a long wait for his next turn, Stanton
put up a zero in the seminals and let Frazier
advance with only one.
Oh, but Stantons six were beauties.
One landed in the third deck above left eld,
about a half-dozen rows shy of the very top of
the ballpark. Another reached the second deck
above the center eld batters eye, a place never
touched by a ball during an actual game here.
Stanton has been credited with three of the 15
longest home runs in the majors this year,
including the second-farthest at 484 feet.
Bautista, the ALcaptain, has 11 home runs in
14 regular-season games here, the most by any
visiting player. Thats only one less than
Twins cornerstone Joe Mauer, who has played
284 career games at Target Field.

Donaldson in a tiebreaker after each nished
Cespedes still HR Derby king
JESSE JOHNSON/USA TODAY SPORTS
Yoenis Cespedes hit nine home runs in the nals of the 2014 MLBHome Run Derby to win the title for the second straight year.The As slug-
ger is the rst person to win the Derby crown in back-to-back years since Ken Griffey Jr. did so in 1998 and 99.
Bob Hammer, a 1986 Carlmont High
School graduate and founder of the Have
ABall golf tournament, began his
Monday at 3:30 a.m. as he prepared for
the 10th Annual Have ABall Golf
Tournaments Presented by Amgen and
Synaptics at Crow Canyon Country Club
in San Ramon.
After hosting 600
golfers in two rounds
of 150 each, Hammer
wont get home until
well past the sun
goes down. That
doesnt factor in the
13 months it takes to
produce two tourna-
ments there will
be a second Have A
Ball tournament in
September also at
Crow Canyon C.C.
By the time its all said and done,
Hammer, a two-time testicular cancer sur-
vivor, will have raised close to $300,000
between the two fundraisers this year,
putting him at nearly $2 million he has
raised for cancer research, among other
things, in the 10 years of producing the
tournaments.
Im at $1.9 million (raised since
2005). Really? Hammer said. Its very
rewarding. Its very cool. Its a bit of a
journey.
Hammer admits there are times when he
wonders if its all worth the effort, but
those times are eeting. His Have ABall
fundraisers have made him among the
largest private donors in the country in
the ght against cancer and there are
many organizations that depend on his
yearly donations.
Have ABall is a labor of love for
Hammer, his family and the board of
directors who help him run his organiza-
tion. In addition to having raised nearly
$2 million, he makes donations to 20
different cancer organizations, ranging
from the Lance Armstrong Foundation to
Camp Okizu, a summer camp for children

HOYLAKE, England Phil Mickelson
rolled long putts across the practice green
in front of the Royal Liverpool clubhouse,
some of them going in, most of them the
right distance. He chirped to the caddie of
Brandt Snedeker about their money game, a
Mickelson tradition at the majors.
Lefty was in good spirits Monday at the
British Open, except for having to return
the claret jug.
Even that allowed him
to reflect on a year of
keeping golfs oldest tro-
phy, and the condence
he finally has when he
plays links golf.
Its a different feeling
for me coming over here
now having won this
tournament, Mickelson
said. The way I felt was,
Am I ever going to break through and play
well on links golf and win an Open
Championship? Now I know that I can. I
know that Ive done it, and it takes a lot of
pressure off me.
Condence in links golf? Yes.
In his game? That takes a little more
work.
Not even Mickelson would have imagined
when he left Muireld last summer that he
would not have won another tournament
anywhere in the world. This is the longest
he has gone without winning in ve years.
And except for the Abu Dhabi HSBC Golf
Championship in January, where he was
runner-up, Mickelson hasnt been particu-
larly close.
He has missed three cuts. He withdrew
twice after narrowly making the cut because
of injuries in San Diego and San Antonio.
At the Masters, where he is a three-time
champion, Mickelson missed the cut for the
rst time in 17 years. His lone top 10 on the
PGATour was last August at The Barclays, a
tie for sixth when he closed with a 65.
So why the smile?
Mickelson confident at least about links golf

PLANCHER- LES- MI NES,
France After just 10 stages, the
two pre-race favorites have
crashed out of the Tour de France.
And Vincenzo Nibali is wasting
little time in showing that hes
now the man to beat.
On Monday, the Italian narrowly
dodged a spill by Alberto Contador
that left the two-time Tour champi-
on with a fractured shin. Nibali
went on to barrel past a panting
breakaway rider to win a fog-and-
rain coated, up-and-down Stage 10
and recover the yellow jersey that
he had lost only a day earlier.
It didnt come easy.
This was the hardest stage Ive
ever done in a Grand Tour, with
seven climbs and so many crash-
es, said Nibali.
Contadors mishap has given
this 101st edition of cyclings
greatest event a dubious distinc-
tion of being the first in recent
memory to force out its two top
stars to crash injuries. Five
stages earlier, reigning champ
Chris Froome quit with a broken
wrist and hand sustained in a
string of spills.
As the race enters its rst rest
day on Tuesday, Nibali who has
already won the Spanish Vuelta
and Italian Giro looks on his
way to winning his rst Tour with
just under two weeks to go.
When Stage 10 began, many
race pundits and Nibali himself
expected Contador to try to
erase his 2 1/2 minute decit to the
Italian by attacking on the ride to
the finish atop La Planche des
Belles Filles ski resort. As FDJ.FR
team manager Marc Madiot put it:
This is the day for Contador to
put Nibali into trouble.
Instead, it was Contador having
the problems.
The 31-year-old Spaniard took a
hard tumble in a high-speed down-
hill run in the Vosges mountains.
After riding about 18 kilometers
(12 miles) in pain, the Tinkoff-
Saxo Bank team leader finally
gave up. He put his foot down, got
off his bike, wiped his eyes and
got into a team car. An X-ray later
showed a shin fracture.
Nibali said he had been ready for
a duel.
I already had a good lead and I
was ready to ght in a big duel
with Alberto, he said. Crashes
are part of the sport. Ive crashed
myself many times in the past
too. Its a pity that the Tour has
lost two major protagonists.
The Astana team leader regained
the lead from Frances Tony
Gallopin who had taken the
yellow jersey off him a day earlier
in the 161.5-kilometer (100-
mile) trek from eastern Mulhouse
to the steep nish at La Planche
des Belles Filles.
With a nal burst of speed in the
last two kilometers (1.2 miles),
Nibali overtook breakaway rider
Joaquim Rodriguez. By the end,
Nibali crossed 15 seconds ahead of
Frances Thibaut Pinot in second
and Spains Alejandro Valverde in
third, a further five seconds
behind.
The Italian recovers the yellow
jersey that he wore for seven days
after he won the second stage in
the hills of northern England.
Overall, he leads Richie Porte of
Australia by 2 minutes, 23 sec-
onds, and Valverde, who is third,
2:47 back.
My legs felt good. I knew the
last three kilometers were the
toughest, and thats when I accel-
erated, said Nibali, sucking his
thumb in a tribute to his young
daughter as he nished. I thought
Rodriguez would follow but he
seemed to have trouble.
A string of crash injuries has
meant that the Tour will have a
rst-time winner this year. Andy
Schleck, the 2010 Tour winner,
dropped out before Stage 4 follow-
ing a crash injury a day earlier,
though the Luxembourg rider said
before the race that he wasnt in
good enough shape to contend
this year.
According to his spokesman,
Contador said he wasnt exactly
sure what caused the crash
which happened while he was
speeding downhill at over 70 kph
(about 40 mph) about halfway
through the stage. Contador began
the stage in ninth place overall
4 minutes, 8 seconds back of
Gallopin.
He explained to me just a few
minutes ago that he (hit) a stone or
a hole in the road or something
and he crashed, Contador
spokesman Jacinto Vidarte told
The Associated Press by phone
during the stage. He couldnt do
anything about it.
TVimages showed thick streams
of blood pouring from Contadors
right knee after the crash, his hip
was scraped up, and the back of his
jersey torn. Team director Bjarne
Riis rushed over and bandaged the
knee. Philippe Mauduit, a team
sporting director, said initial X-
rays showed that a Contador had a
fractured shin.
Contador then sat back down on
the grass bank and changed his
left shoe as riders weaved through
the narrow gap between him and
his bicycle. After several minutes,
he got back in the saddle of a new
bike, and three teammates who had
dropped back escorted him to try
to make up lost time as the pelo-
ton pulled away up the Col du
Platzerwaswel mountain pass.
The Spaniard rode for about
another half-hour, clearly in
pain, and finally stopped, got
off, wiped his eyes and climbed
into a team car.
Nibali said he was riding next to
Contador, and almost went down
himself.
I feared that the Tour might be
over for me too, the Italian said.
There were a lot of risks today,
and Im really sorry for Alberto
Contador. I was right behind him
and luckily I was able to avoid
him. It was on a descent. The road
wasnt in great condition.
I dont know what happened,
but it was just incredible, said
Nibali. He fell right in front of
me and was rolling on the oor.
We must have been going about 60
kilometers per hour.
There were crashes elsewhere.
Italian rider Michele Scarponi
Nibalis Astana teammate
sustained a heavy crash coming
down from the penultimate climb
up to Col des Chevreres. He mis-
judged a turn and thudded into a
protective crash barrier, flipping
over his bike and colliding with
a spectator, who was unhurt.
Scarponi was able to continue
riding.
British rider Geraint Thomas
also crashed but kept racing with
blood pouring out of his left
elbow.
The race resumes Wednesday
with a slightly hilly 187.5-kilo-
meter (116.3-mile) route from
Besancon to Oyonnax in eastern
France. Stage 11 will feature four
moderate climbs toward the end.
The three-week race ends on
the Champs-Elysees in Paris on
July 27.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
San Mateo National entered into play
Monday needing a little help from the base-
ball gods in order to continue in the Section
3 10-11-Year-Old All-Stars Baseball
Tournament.
After a rst-inning power barrage against
San Lorenzo, National got the divine help it
was looking for when second baseman
Jason Villar chased down a dying quail in
short center eld and turned it into a triple
play.
National went on to a 13-7 triumph to
advance through the losers bracket into
Tuesdays championship round. National
will match up with undefeated Tassajara
Valley at Union Citys Veterans Park at 5:30
p.m. needing to win two games after losing
to Tassajara Valley 9-8 in extra innings
Sunday.
Jason Villars running catch on the sec-
ond-inning triple play had a tinge of the
miraculous, according to National manager
David Villar.
Nobody thought Jason was going to get
to that ball including us, Coach Villar
said.
Most importantly, the San Lorenzo base
runners didnt think so. National was enjoy-
ing a 9-0 lead at the time. Ordinarily, that
would seem like plenty of cushion. For a
National team coming off a loss Sunday in
which a late 8-0 lead disappeared against
Tassajara Valley, the National boys were no
doubt hearing footsteps when San Lorenzo
loaded the bases in the second.
[San Lorenzo] was riled and ready to
mount a comeback, Coach Villar said.
When the next San Lorenzo batter oated
a blooper into shallow center, it looked as
though it might clear the bases. All of San
Lorenzos runners committed to moving up,
but Jason Villar chased down the ball with a
backhanded grab. He pivoted and threw to
shortstop Tyler Berkson at second base for
the second out; Berkson then red to third
baseman Jack Yuretich to complete the
triple play.
In little league, I cant remember the last
time I saw a triple play, Coach Villar said.
If we just caught the pop-up, I would have
been happy with that. But I think the base-
ball gods might be smiling on us a little bit.
National didnt need any help from Thor:
god of thunder, however, as the offense
brought plenty of thunder of its own.
National jumped out to a rst-inning lead by
virtue of three home runs in the inning,
including a momentous one from R.J. Abad.
Abad got National on the board with the
rst home run of his life, a two-run shot to
left eld. And despite being the smallest
player on the team, the blast was no cheap-
ie, according to Coach Villar.
He saw a fastball and jumped all over it,
Coach Villar said. He hit it to deep left-cen-
ter eld. He got all of it. It was no cheapie.
Hes smaller of stature but big of heart.
Everybody on the team loves him. He plays
110 percent all of the time.
But National didnt stop there. Berkson
added a two-run home run to left. Then left-
handed hitting Nico Button went opposite
eld to left-center for the teams third two-
run shot of the frame. National totaled nine
runs in the inning.
Button also proved a hero on the mound,
ring 4 1/3 innings to earn the win. Aday
after National burned through more pitch-
ing than Coach Villar would have liked
through its extra-inning loss, Buttons 85-
pitch performance was epic.
We were short-handed at pitching
because we lost [Sunday] and Nico
stepped up and threw an absolute gem for
us, Coach Villar said.
Berkson emerged in the fth inning and
worked 1 2/3 innings to close it out, pro-
pelling National into the championship
round. Nationals scheduled starter for
Tuesdays championship matchup is the ace
right-hander Yuretich. If necessary,
National and Tassajara Valley will play
again Wednesday at 5:30 p.m.
San Mateo National 10-11s into Section 3 championship
By Luis Andres Henao
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina
Argentinas national team was welcomed
home Monday by thousands of fans cele-
brating its gutsy performance in the World
Cup nal.
The team arrived in Buenos Aires on a
plane painted with images of the players
and a large sign reading: Thank you
Argentina.
A river of emotional fans wearing the
white and sky-blue striped jerseys of the
national team, among them a group of
Argentine gauchos on horses, ooded the
road leading from the airport to the football
association complex.
You showed that through courage, pas-
sion and bringing everything you have and
more to the field you can triumph,
President Cristina Fernandez said after
greeting all members of the team at the
complex with a hug and a pat on the back.
Youve given us values that Argentines,
surrounded by so much triumphalism,
thought were lost. Not only does the one in
rst place win; you also win when you show
quality and manage to unite with others to
go forward, Fernandez said. Thats why I
wanted to greet you today and thank you on
behalf of 40 million proud Argentines.
The two-time world champion entered the
title match as the clear underdog after
Germanys 7-1 thrashing of host Brazil. But
despite complaints about lackluster play
earlier in the tournament, the team led by
captain Lionel Messi showed grit through-
out the 1-0 overtime loss to Germany, creat-
ing several opportunities to score in the
rst 90 minutes.
Im thankful to everyone. I would have
liked to bring you back the Cup and to be
able to enjoy it. We tried, we gave it our all
but we couldnt achieve it, said Messi, who
won the trophy for the tournaments best
player.
Despite that, I think we gave a great joy
to the country by reaching this nal and fac-
ing our rivals without giving anything
away.
Argentina last played in a World Cup nal
in 1990, when it lost to West Germany. Four
years earlier, it became world champion for
the second time, led by captain Diego
Maradona, also in a final against the
Germans.
After Sundays nal, thousands of sad-
dened but proud Argentines gathered peace-
fully at the iconic Obelisk in downtown
Buenos Aires to applaud their teams best
World Cup performance in 24 years. Cars
honked staccato rhythms, recrackers were
tossed into the air and fans of all ages
jumped in place shouting, Argentina!
Argentina! Argentina!
We have nothing to regret, we played
first rate, said 53-year-old Horacio
Laseiras, carrying his 6-year-old daughter
on his shoulders.
Violence broke out later Sunday night,
forcing riot police to use
tear gas and rubber bullets to
disperse vandals who threw
rocks, destroyed store
fronts, tore down street
lights and even broke into a
theater. Parents with small
children ed in fear.
National security secretary
Sergio Berni said 120 peo-
ple were arrested. The
Buenos Aires emergency
medical service reported on
Monday that 70 people were
treated for injuries, includ-
ing 15 police ofcers.
The shot at the title united Argentines
otherwise exasperated by one of the worlds
highest ination rates, an encroaching debt
crisis and a corruption scandal that has pen-
etrated deep into the presidents inner cir-
cle.
Fernandez, whose approval rating has
plunged in recent months, kept a low prole
during the tournament. She declined an invi-
tation to attend the nal, preferring instead
to rest ahead of a summit Tuesday, also in
Brazil, with leaders from Brazil, Russia,
India and China.

MINNEAPOLIS Derek Jeter was an elite
shortstop winning World Series champi-
onships not long after many of baseballs
current greats were born.
With the captain of the New York Yankees
set to retire after the season, Jeters 14th
All-Star game will be his last. His rst one
as a starter in 2000 was special, as was the
2008 version at Yankee Stadium. So dont
expect him to declare his nal appearance
his favorite, or an experience hell nd him-
self savoring any more than usual.
This is a game that Ive truly always
looked forward to. Ive appreciate the time
that Ive had here. So its kind of difcult to
say that Ill try to enjoy it more, Jeter said
on Monday amid a predictably large crowd
of cameras and reporters during the media
interview session for the American League
players.
Though the Yankees have been hovering
around the .500 mark, Jeter has said many
times hes only focused on chasing another
championship, not gath-
ering farewell gifts or
reflecting nostalgically
on his exceptional career.
That part has been left up
to everyone else around
the game.
Tampa Bay Rays pitch-
er David Price said Jeters
nal presence was what
excited him the most
about this years event.
I know the All-Star game isnt about a
certain player or a certain team, but I feel
like it is. This is about Derek Jeter. And the
National League guys, they understand that
as well, Price said.
For Minnesota Twins closer Glen Perkins,
Jeter has been one of those guys you can
tell your grandkids about pitching to.
St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Adam
Wainwright, wholl start the All-Star game
for the National League on Tuesday night at
Target Field, will throw his rst pitch to
Jeter when the 40-year-old steps to the plate
as the AL leadoff man.
Im very excited about it, just to say I
faced the best, Wainwright said. And he is
undoubtedly one of the best to ever play his
position.
To Jeters left will be second baseman
Robinson Cano, who left the Yankees in the
offseason and signed with the Seattle
Mariners.
Im really happy that Ill be able to be a
part of his nal All-Star game and be on the
same team. Its pretty amazing, Cano said.
Hes one of the biggest parts of my career.
He was one of those guys when I rst came
up who was there on and off the eld.
To Jeters right will be third baseman
Josh Donaldson, who recalled a double he
hit for the Oakland Athletics in his rst time
playing against Jeter and the Yankees in
2012.
He was like, Hey, good swing, kid,
Donaldson said. I was like, Thanks, Mr.
Jeter.
Jeter was that wide-eyed youngster in
1998 when he appeared in his rst All-Star
game, in Denver.
Cal was there and I was afraid to say any-
thing, because its Cal Ripken, Jeter said.
Even though Id played against him, I bare-
ly had a chance to talk to him.
Then there was 1999, in Boston.
They had all the great players come on
the eld. I got a tap on my shoulder, and it
was Hank Aaron, and he said he was looking
for me because he wanted to meet me. He
wanted to meet me. Thats something that
stands out. Thats one of the best moments
Ive had on the baseball eld, Jeter said.
That kind of humility, instilled in him by
his parents as he grew up in Kalamazoo,
Michigan, has compelled Jeter to strike up
such conversations with his peers around
the game. He spoke Monday about being
happy for the players getting their rst
taste this week of the All-Star experience,
like Yankees reliever Dellin Betances.
You try to carry yourself the right way.
Ive always tried to do that, Jeter said.
Then again, at the same time, I am who I
am. I dont try to be any different. If people
respect you for the way that you carry your-
self, it means a lot to me and it means a lot
to my family. It makes you feel good.
Derek Jeter, an AL All-Star for the last time
Derek Jeter
Mondays pitching matchup turned into a
duel after Half Moon Bay starter Kyle
Harwood navigated through a rocky rst
inning. The right-hander lost the strike
zone to walk in the rst run, and his defense
betrayed him to allow the second.
Ultimately, Harwood went the distance,
allowing two runs on six hits while striking
out six. He retired the side in order in each of
the last two innings.
But the concentration of fog at Fairmont
Field located near the peak of Hickey
Boulevard where Pacica and Daly City meet
made for difcult visibility, according to
Half Moon Bay manager David Anderson.
I kind of thought our guys werent getting
a good view of the ball with the fog, both at
the plate and in the eld, Anderson said.
It didnt seem to be a problem for Silveria
in the middle innings though. Half Moon
Bays catcher showcased his arm in the
fourth by gunning down the Wildcats Asa
Jungries at second base to end the inning.
Then Silveria led off the fth with the loud-
est swing of the bat of the game for either
team by doubling to set the table for Half
Moon Bays only run.
Silveria recently graduated from Half
Moon Bay High School and is planning to
play at Skyline College next season. He
played three years of varsity baseball for
the Cougars, but only caught two of them;
and his two years in the squat did not come
consecutively. Silveria took over behind
the dish midway through his sophomore
season. As a junior, however, his basketball
season ran long when the Half Moon Bay
boys went to the Central Coast Section
championship game. As a result, after join-
ing the baseball team eight games into the
season, he ended up in the outeld.
[The basketball season] had a ton to do
with it, Silveria said. I had no (catching)
reps. I thought I could come in cold turkey
and do as well as I did my sophomore year,
and it didnt work out.
Silveria set out to not let the same thing
happen this year though. And the 6-1, 180-
pound senior reemerged behind the plate
while hitting for a .338 average and pacing
the Cougars with 18 RBIs.
This year I started taking it serious. Its
fun. Its my best position, Silveria said. I
knew I wanted to play in college and would
have to put time in, and thats what I did.
Despite being on the postseason bubble
in the South Peninsula standings, Half
Moon Bay is assured a playoff berth by
virtue of hosting the tournament this sea-
son. The playoffs begin July 26 at Half
Moon Bay High School.

Half Moon Bay catcher Chet Silveria throws
out a would-be base stealer in Mondays 2-1
loss to the San Francisco Wildcats.
with three in the rst round, breezed by
Baltimores Adam Jones in the second round.
Frazier topped NL captain Troy Tulowitzki on
the other side.
Colorados Justin Morneau, the fan favorite
after 10-plus years and four All-Star games for
the host Twins, was eliminated in the rst round.
Morneau returned to his roots, and so did
the event itself, considering the inaugural
contest was held at the Metrodome before
the 1985 All-Star game. Admission then was
a mere $2, slightly less than the $200-and-
up price tags on the derby these days. The
original form was actually a 1960s-era tele-
vision show, featuring sluggers like
Harmon Killebrew of the Twins.
Delayed 54 minutes by light rain on an
unseasonably cool night even for
Minnesota with a start-time temperature of
59 degrees, the contest began with a rainbow
protruding from the clouds beyond left-center
eld that framed this limestone-encased ball-
park that opened in 2010.
Frazier went rst, and while he went deep
twice, he didnt quite reach the rainbow.
Neither did Twins second baseman Brian
Dozier, the smallest of the participants who
had the backing of the crowd with chants of
his last name during his two-homer round.
Even my brother he said he got chills,
said Dozier, one of seven rst-time partici-
pants. His brother, Clay, was his pitcher.
The loudest roars were for Morneau, natu-
rally, in his return to the place he called
home until being traded last summer. An
easy pick for Tulowitzki, Morneau checked
the weather forecast as soon as he woke up
to gauge the wind direction. The only left-
hander in the event his year, Morneaus third
derby appearance brought the fans to their
feet with AC/DCs Thunderstruck blaring
in the background.
He hit two in the rst round, the only balls
all night that landed in the seats in right.
Frazier hit one more to beat Morneau and
advance in the three-swing tiebreaker.

ghting the disease. He has created and
awarded eight oncology nursing grants is
association with Sequoia Hospital in
Redwood City and University of
California-San Francisco, in the name of
his oncologist Fred Marcus who died of
cancer in 2006.
Aheartbreaking irony as far Hammer is
concerned.
The guy (Marcus) had treated something
like 5,000 cancer patients and he died of
cancer, Hammer said. I have hundreds of
stories (like that). I hear some [stuff].
While the numbers and money Hammer
and his tournament have raised is stagger-
ing, those are not necessarily the numbers
that keep Hammer going. These are the
numbers that keep Hammer battling cancer:
Twenty-six the rounds of chemothera-
py Hammer received while twice going
through treatment for testicular cancer.
Fifteen the percentage he was given
that he would survive.
Eleven the age of his son Josh, who
was born by natural means after Hammer
opted against surgery that would have pre-
vented him from having any more children
naturally.
One his sister, who called him last
week to tell him she had been diagnosed
with breast cancer.
THOSE are staggering numbers.
One thing I will always take from the
Lance Armstrong Foundation Livestrong
is still a great organization is a quote
from the weekend I was there (in 2001).
One of the board members spoke of the
Obligation of the Cured. I have not for-
gotten that, Hammer said. Thats a driv-
ing force, to help other people and I took
that to heart.
UCSF has a counseling program and
Ive been on the list of people to call for
years. Ive gotten the phone call at 2 in the
morning a guy who is scheduled to have
surgery the next day and hes freaking out.
I talk him through it.
What makes the Have ABall tournament
so great is not only is it a great time out,
but people respond to it because of what it
represents. Of the 300 golfers in atten-
dance Monday, Hammer said he probably
knows, personally, about 200 of them. But
almost to a golfer, Hammer said, nearly
everyone has a cancer story whether its
themselves, a family member or friends.
Nearly everyone has been touched by this
disease in one fashion or another.
I get in a (golf) cart and shake every-
ones hand. You talk to someone for 38
seconds and they have a story, Hammer
said. The reality is, everybody has a story
about cancer.
Heres one more number: 15,483,830
that is the number of cancer survivors in
the United States alone, according to the
American Cancer Society. THATis the num-
ber that keeps Hammer motivated to do all
he can to increase that number.
And thats what the Have ABall tourna-
ments are all about.

Normally, I would be discourage or frustrated,
but Im just not, Mickelson said. I feel like Ive
had some good breakthroughs in some areas. I
havent had the results. I know I havent played
well. But the parts feel a lot better than the whole
right now. And I dont know when it will all click
together. I dont know if it will be this week. I
dont know if it will be in three weeks or a month
or what, but it should be soon.
Hes running out of time.
Mickelson is No. 12 in the Ryder Cup stand-
ings. He has qualied for every team since 1995
two years after Jordan Spieth was born. He
has reached the FedEx Cup nale for the top 30
at the Tour Championship every year since it
began in 2007. With only three starts before
the playoffs begin, Mickelson is at No. 97.
Then again, its easy for Mickelson not to be
overly concerned.
He is 44 and has been on tour for half of his
life, compiling 42 victories on the PGA Tour
and ve majors, including that claret jug.
Its at least been a good year for the jug.
He has taken it to golf clubs and corporate
outings, shared it with friends and people he
had never met. He has let his caddie, Jim
Mackay, take it to pose for pictures.
Mickelson had only one rule.
One of the things I stressed is that we have
to treat the claret jug with reverence and respect
that it deserves, and only put good stuff in it,
he said. No bad stuff was allowed. And each
person that I brought it to had a different deni-
tion of what the good stuff was.
One denition was a bottle of 1990 Romanee
Conti, which can range in price from $16,000
to about $35,000.
Now, I didnt know what this was when I
drank it, Mickelson said. I just knew that it
was really good. And that was the best bottle
that was ever put in there.
Like ne wine, Mickelson can only hope he
gets better with age.
Even though he had to overcome arthritis in
the middle of the 2010 season, and only eight
players older than he is right now have won
majors, Mickelson doesnt see that as an obsta-
cle. Sure, he has to work a little harder, train a
little better, stretch a little more.

A marathon unfolding over thousands of
hands was wrapping up Monday night in
Las Vegas as card players determine the
World Series of Poker main event final
table.
The no-limit Texas Hold em tournament
was expected to go into early Tuesday morn-
ing to settle the last nine players who will
compete for a $10 million top prize in
November.
Three tables with 27 total players began
play at noon Monday, with 11 bounced by
dinnertime. Eddy Sabat was eliminated just
after the break in 16th place, winning near-
ly $348,000, while
Thomas Sarra Jr. and
Oscar Kemps were out
soon after, winning near-
ly $442,000 each.
Sabat and Kemps lost
the last of their chips to
31-year-old Jorryt van
Hoof of the Netherlands,
who propelled to a chip
lead after 66 hours of play
over seven sessions. The tournament started

wires away, too.
Undergrounding the utilities is just one
key piece of the makeover meant to make
the commercial corridor more walkable,
more safe and more alluring to those who
may not yet have explored the unincorpo-
rated neighborhood.
Its about time for people outside our area
to come here and have an experience of
Latin culture, said Patricia Bodella who
owns a nutrition business.
Bodella was one of several Middleeld
Road business owners who spoke with
Supervisor Warren Slocum and others during
a walking tour Monday of the area slated for
changes under the banner North Fair Oaks
Forward. So far, a community survey and
meetings reaching out to 2,100 people have
produced a list of what the residents denite-
ly want wider sidewalks, bike lanes and
parallel parking. There is even a short list
of ideas where they still arent agreed.
Should the road be three or four lanes? And
what about a median strip?
They certainly have questions as a lot of
us do, said Bernie Martinez, manager of the
North Fair Oaks branch of San Mateo Credit
Union at 3117 Middleeld Road.
Some of those questions include impacts
to parking and to business during construc-
tion. None question how the neighbors cul-
ture and avor may change, he said.
Martinez favors the three-lane option
because it will allow sidewalk widening and
contribute to added safety which will in turn
be good for business. Right now, Martinez
said community members dont feel like
they are part of something collective but
that the redesign will instill a sense of
pride.
It will make it feel like they belong,
Martinez said.
Three in four North Fair Oaks residents
identify as Latino and its Middleeld Road
businesses are a wide variety of auto repair
shops, ice cream sellers, taquerias and pho
restaurants. Visitors can see a dentist, buy
agua fresca, wire money and try on western
wear all within close proximity.
But Middleeld Road is also a popular
connector for those driving to and from
nearby Redwood City, Atherton and Menlo
Park who may not even stop to check out
the offerings. Slocum, and the business
people he connected with yesterday, say
they hope the redesign and utility under-
grounding will change that.
Work in progress
The desire to spruce up Middleeld Road
has been in the works ve to six years but it
was only the infusion of Measure Asales tax
money that made revisiting the priorities a
possibility, said Deputy County Manager
Peggy Jensen.
In 2013, North Fair Oaks Forward
launched to implement the North Fair Oaks
Community Plan and outreach workers like
Ellie Dallman went to work walking the
neighborhood and meeting face-to-face
with business owners and residents.
The last thing they want, she said, is for
anyone to say after the fact that they did not
know of the planned alterations to the place
they live and work.
If the timeline holds, after a few upcom-
ing community meetings on trafc and road
options, the North Fair Oaks Community
Council should decide on a recommendation
at its Aug. 28 meeting and present those
ideas Oct. 21 to the Board of Supervisors.
The design and construction is estimated to
happen between November 2014 and 2019.
Jensen concedes thats a big window but
said the county is being conservative with
its projections while also optimistic it will
happen sooner.
Apparent challenges
Walking from Fifth Avenue toward Pacic
Avenue, the challenges of Middleeld Road
are apparent. Traffic, particularly large
trucks, zoom down the street as pedestrians
hustle to get across in time. Empty coffee
cups and half-eaten bowls of melted ice
cream pool on narrow sidewalks where jog-
gers and families step into the street to get
by others. Bicyclists share the road with
cars.
The improvement plan calls for better
street lighting, adding trash receptacles and
possibly bike lanes and moving large
standing utility boxes. Some have
expressed interest in gathering places.
Parking will also be changed but exactly
how is not yet set in stone. The preference
is switching the largely diagonal spots to
parallel parking but that does away with 30
percent of the stock, Jensen said.
The goal before changing anything is to
rst identify an off-street lot that can be
used for parking, Jensen said. A garage is
another, albeit more expensive, option,
too.
Esperanza Vazquez, a 22-year owner of
Villa Latina and a member of the community
council, would like to see a parking struc-
ture because she said some motorists park
on the street for up to eight hours a day,
blocking spots for customers visiting the
store which sells western wear and offers
bill paying and notary services.
While the conversation continues nailing
down the final design elements of the
makeover, Slocum said there are some com-
mon desires.
People want a safer neighborhood. They
want safer streets, Slocum said.

REDESIGN
unteers, shes condent the organization
will run smoothly until a new executive
director is hired.
Established in 1956, the nonprot DSMA
is a coalition of business and property own-
ers who pay an assessment that is used to
improve economic and civic activity down-
town through marketing, special events and
fundraisers.
The DSMA also serves as a liaison
between city ofcials and those who work
downtown.
The organization currently has an
$180,000 annual budget and is managed by
its Board of Directors, ofce manager and
executive director and relies on volunteers.
But with Evans vacating her position,
Kathleen Bednarik, DSMA ofce manager,
is now the only remaining staff member
until the board nds a replacement.
Summer and the holiday season are
extremely busy for the DSMAand the board
is committed to nding a new executive
director by August, said DSMA board
President Nancy Bush.
DSMAis planning for a busy schedule of
events and programs between now and the
end of the year and we would like a new exec-
utive director in place soon to ensure a
smooth transition. In the interim, the board
and existing staff are working hard to ensure
operations, member services and events
continue as planned, Bush wrote in an
email.
Before Evans was hired, minimal and less
effective interim leadership oversaw the
DSMA after its previous director left, said
Linda Asbury, president of San Mateos
Economic Development Growth Enterprise.
Although Evans reinvigorated the DSMA
and will be missed, Asbury said shes now
condent the organization will continue to
thrive.
I loved her. She turned that organiza-
tion around. She fostered collaboration
between the [San Mateo Chamber of
Commerce,] the EDGE and the city,
Asbury said. Kathleens there, shes
very capable. They have a very engaged
Board of Directors. So I dont have any
concerns. The organization will certainly
miss her, but she has enough in place that
it will continue to move forward.
Under Evans leadership, the nonprot
Downtown Art Project was formed to infuse
art into the business district with projects
such as yarn bombing trees over the holi-
days, soliciting grafti artists to create col-
orful murals and engaging the community
with collaborative art installations during
San Mateos rst Innovation Week.
Evans assisted the North B Street initia-
tive, which is geared toward revitalizing the
blighted ethnically diverse sliver of north-
ern downtown, by working with city staff,
said Councilman Jack Matthews, who owns
a downtown architecture rm. She also rein-
stated the summer Wine Walk and worked
with Draper University of Heroes to create a
mural in the alleyway between Third and
Fourth avenues, Matthews said.
The DSMAs prior leadership wasnt as
involved and part of Evans success was that
she spent personal time with and offered her
assistance to many downtown business
owners, Matthews said.
I thought she was really a very effective
representative for the [DSMA] in terms of
getting things done, Matthews said. She
really got to know people and they got to
know her. ... So the downtown association
had some face to it and [businesses] knew
there was someone they could go to and ask
for help.
Rebecca Zito, senior management analyst
with the city of San Mateo, said Evans
enthusiasm and strong leadership skills
were an asset to the community.
Maintaining a strong connection between
the city and local businesses to enhance
downtown will continue to be a priority,
Zito said.
It denitely is very valuable to have
somebody that can help to both convey city
priorities to downtown businesses and, vice
versa, share info with the city about con-
cerns that businesses are having, Zito said.
We really recognize that Jessica, as execu-
tive director, made tremendous strides in
bringing activity to the downtown and so
we want to maintain that momentum and
well support the organization during the
transition.

By Judy Lin
SACRAMENTO A half-dozen states
with backlogs for Medicaid enrollees were
facing a federal deadline Monday to create
plans for getting those low-income resi-
dents enrolled in health coverage.
The federal Centers for Medicare &
Medicaid Services sent letters dated June 27
to Alaska, California, Kansas, Michigan,
Missouri and Tennessee asking those states
to address gaps in their eligibility and
enrollment systems that have delayed
access to coverage for poor and disabled
people.
The letter was sent months after the rst
national sign-up drive under President
Barack Obamas health reform law.
The letters stated that those states had 10
days to come up with a response plan, but
health advocates say there is no clear dead-
line for actually clearing the backlog.
The federal government will remain in
close contact with states to monitor their
progress to ensure that they are facilitating
Medicaid enrollment for those individuals
eligible, agency spokeswoman Marilyn
Jackson said in a statement.
The states facing the federal deadline are a
mix of those that opted to expand Medicaid
under the Affordable Care Act and those that
did not. Obamas health reform law led to
the signup of about 8 million people in pri-
vate health care coverage through the insur-
ance exchanges, while an additional 3 mil-
lion people enrolled in Medicaid, the state-
federal program for the poor and low-
income.
The federal government initially picks up
the full tab for the Medicaid expansion,
which was accepted by about half the states.
A spokeswoman for the Alaska
Department of Health and Social Services,
Cathy Stadem, said she was checking with
the commissioner on the status of the
states response.
Angela Minicuci, a spokeswoman at the
Michigan Department of Community
Health, said the state is working with the
States told to find way to clear Medicaid backlog
The states facing the federal deadline are a mix of those that opted to expand Medicaid under
the Affordable Care Act and those that did not.

federal government to address technology
issues. She said Michigan has enrolled
323,000 residents into the Healthy
Michigan Plan, exceeding its 322,000 tar-
get for the year.
We will continue to work to ensure
Michiganders have access to health care
coverage needed to lead healthy, productive
lives, Minicuci said.
California had a backlog of 900,000 peo-
ple in its Medicaid program as of May, out
of 1.9 million people who enrolled.
The state Department of Health Care
Services reported that the backlog has been
reduced to 600,000 as of Monday.
Weve been proud of much of what
California has done to implement health
reform, but were fundamentally concerned
about people who need care and cant access
it people who are going without care,
people who are getting medical bills even
though theyre eligible for Medi-Cal
thats all happening today, said Elizabeth
Landsberg, an advocate with the Western
Center on Law and Poverty.
Californias information technology
problems stem from communication gaps
between the state and county welfare sys-
tems. Many counties have reported trouble
accessing state information necessary to
process applications for Medi-Cal, the
states version of the Medicaid safety net
program.
Norman Williams, a spokesman for the
California Department of Health Care
Services, said the volume of applications
also contributed to the backlog.
A group called the Health Consumer
Alliance sent a letter to Gov. Jerry Brown
earlier this month with a list of recommen-
dations, such as granting presumptive eli-
gibility to all applicants who have waited
more than 45 days, the federal timeline for
determining eligibility. The letter included
stories from people whose applications are
stalled even though they need medical care.
One 28-year-old Los Angeles County
woman with a monthly income of $850 has
been waiting more than six months for a
decision on her Medi-Cal application.
While waiting for coverage, she found a
lump in her chin and needs care for a possi-
ble tumor.

CHICAGO The song says a spoonful
of sugar helps the medicine go down, but a
study says that kind of imprecise measure-
ment can lead to potentially dangerous
dosing mistakes.
The results, published online Monday in
Pediatrics, underscore recommendations
that droppers and syringes that measure in
milliliters be used for liquid medicines
not spoons.
The study involved nearly 300 parents,
mostly Hispanics, with children younger
than 9 years old. The youngsters were
treated for various illnesses at two New
York City emergency rooms and sent
home with prescriptions for liquid medi-
cines, mostly antibiotics.
Parents were contacted afterward and
asked by phone how they had measured the
prescribed doses. They also brought their
measuring devices to the researchers
offices to demonstrate doses theyd given
their kids.
Parents who used spoonfuls were
50percent more likely to give their children incorrect doses than those who measured in more precise milliliter units, said
Dr. Alan Mendelsohn, a co-author and
associate professor at New York
Universitys medical school.
Incorrect doses included giving too
much and too little, which can both be
dangerous, he said. Underdosing may not
adequately treat an illness and can lead to
medication-resistant infections, while
overdoses may cause illness or side effects
that can be life-threatening. The study
doesnt include information on any ill
effects from dosing mistakes.
Almost one-third of the parents gave the
wrong dose and 1 in 6 used a kitchen
spoon rather than a device like an oral
syringe or dropper that lists doses in mil-
liliters.
Less than half the prescriptions speci-
fied doses in milliliters. But even when
they did, the medicine bottle label often
listed doses in teaspoons. Parents often
assume that means any similar-sized
kitchen spoon, the authors said.
Outreach to pharmacists and other
health professionals is needed to promote
the consistent use of milliliter units
between prescriptions and bottle labels,
the authors said.

LONDON The most advanced vaccine
for dengue only offers modest protection but
could still help millions of people avoid the
devastating effects of the disease known as
breakbone fever, according to a large trial.
There is no treatment for dengue, which
causes symptoms including fever, severe
joint pain, headaches and bleeding. About
half the worlds population is at risk from
the mosquito-borne disease, which sickens
about 100 million people every year, most-
ly in Asia, Africa and Latin America.
Results from an early trial of the vaccine
in 2012 found the vaccines efcacy was 33
percent and that it failed to protect against
one type of dengue; there are four distinct
kinds and the vaccine is meant to ght all of
them. In the latest study, conducted in more
than 10,000 children aged 2 to 14 in
Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, the
Philippines and Vietnam, the shots efcacy
improved to 56 percent. Most common vac-
cines like those for measles and polio are
more than 95 percent effective.
We all would have wanted a better efcacy
rate but this is what we have to live with at
the moment, said Annelies Wilder-Smith of
Nanyang Technological University in
Singapore, who wrote a commentary for the
study, published Friday in the journal
Lancet. Whether this vaccines efcacy is
enough for countries to invest in is a ques-
tion for economists.
Researchers tracked the children in the
new study, including those who got the fake
shot, for about two years and noted side
effects and other health problems following
the vaccine. The study was paid for by Sano
Pasteur, the vaccines maker.
Other experts said longer follow-up data
on vaccinated children is needed to assess
the shots safety. People infected with one
type of dengue develop antibodies that pro-
tect them from further infections of that
type. But if they catch another kind of
dengue, their antibodies make them suscep-
tible to more serious disease that could
include hemorrhaging. Some scientists
worry the antibodies from a dengue vaccine
might have the same effect and say vaccinat-
ed children should be monitored for several
years.
We just dont understand the antibody
response in dengue well enough to know if
this (problem) would also occur with a vac-
cine, said Martin Hibberd, a professor of
emerging infectious diseases at the London
School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine,
who wasnt part of the study.
He was also concerned the shot seemed to
work by boosting pre-existing antibodies
in people previously infected with dengue,
since younger children didnt get much pro-
tection from the shot. Its a bit scary that it
looks like the vaccine only works in people
who have already had dengue, which would
make the vaccine useless for Western
tourists traveling to dengue-endemic coun-
tries, he said.
Trial: Dengue shot offers some protection
By Mike Stobbe
NEW YORK A second investigation
has detailed additional safety problems at
federal health laboratories in Atlanta,
including the use of expired disinfectants
and the transfer of dangerous germs in
Ziploc bags.
The new findings were disclosed
Monday in a congressional committees
summary of a U.S. Department of
Agriculture report on the CDC anthrax
incident.
The USDA report focuses on an incident
last month at a Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention lab that handles
bioterrorism agents. The lab was supposed
to completely kill anthrax samples before
sending them to two other CDC labs. But
the higher-security lab did not completely
sterilize the bacteria.
Dozens of CDC workers were potential-
ly exposed to dangerous anthrax bacteria.
No one got sick, but a CDC internal inves-
tigation report released last week found
serious safety lapses, including use of
unapproved sterilization techniques and
use of a potent anthrax in an experiment
that didnt require that germ to be used.
Separate from the CDC probe, investi-
gators from the USDAs Animal and Plant
Health Inspection Services came to the
CDC to look into what happened.
A USDA spokeswoman said her agency
does not release its reports to the public.
The CDC did not immediately release the
report, either. But the findings were sum-
marized in a report released by a U.S.
House of Representatives subcommittee,
which is holding a hearing Wednesday on
recent reports of CDC lab problems.
According to the congressional
memo, the USDA found:
Disinfectants used for decontamination
of vials and bags had expired, and CDC
staff couldnt remember if they used the
expired products in cleaning up after the
anthrax incident.
At least some of the lab workers who
were potentially exposed were not exam-
ined until five days later.
Security measures within the lab
building were flawed. Anthrax was stored
in unlocked refrigerators in an unrestricted
hallway. The key to one refrigerator sat in
its lock.
Germ materials were transferred
between labs in two Ziploc bags, failing
to meet containment guidelines.
A CDC spokesman said the agency is
carefully scrutinizing the report.
Some findings are already being
addressed, and others will be addressed as
soon as possible, said the spokesman,
Tom Skinner.
Second probe details more CDC anthrax lab problems

an existing billboard sign south of the
Millbrae Avenue exit between the Aloft
Hotel property and Cowan Canal and
north of the Millbrae Avenue exit on
the north bank of the Highline
Drainage Canal, according to a staff
report. There are close to 10 bidders,
said Mayor Wayne Lee. Signs could net
Millbrae more than $100,000 per
year, he said.
Around the airport is the area of
interest thats my feeling, he said.
Its not just about the money its
about publicizing Millbrae and its
events.
The city of Burlingame recently put
on hold plans for adding media signs
along Highway 101 because of con-
cerns about safety hazards and distur-
bances to nearby residences. Other
nearby cities have considered such
signs, including Belmont, Menlo Park
and Palo Alto. Cities that currently
have electronic media signs include
East Palo Alto and San Carlos.
I think Burlingames concerns are
very valid, Lee said. The benet s
outweigh the challenges though here.
Theyd be small, appropriately sized
signs.
The city has been discussing bring-
ing media signs to the city for a while,
but it was in 2013 that the discussion
came up again. Arequest for proposals
was issued for digital and traditional
billboard signs on April 25. Lee is
open to looking at putting signs on El
Camino Real as well. The city has also
identied ve other potential sites for
electronic media signs or traditional
billboards. None of these are along
Highway 101, according to the staff
report.
Other councilmembers seem to be in
favor of signs as well.
I think the location that we have
identied is an excellent location
by Aloft along 101, said Councilman
Reuben Holober. Its not near a resi-
dential area and its on a small strip of
land that the city doesnt have much
use for.
Bringing electronic signs to
Millbrae is something the city has
been discussing for while, said
Councilwoman Marge Colapietro.
Now that theres some time to take
a good look at this thats what were
doing, she said. The advantage of
having it is to be able to have it visi-
ble to as many people as possible. We
have an opportunity to promote what
goes on in the Millbrae community.
Maybe [get people to] pull off the road
and come and ... join us and attend our
community activities.
It also gives the city an opportunity
to have some kind of agreement with
the provider of the media sign to nan-
cially benefit from advertisements
with franchise fees commissions,
Colapietro said.
Im hoping it will be a win-win for
the public and a win-win for the city,
she said.
The City Council will have to
approve such signs, but there is yet to
be a date slated for a vote.

the height of the recession and have
massive liabilities.
In January, the state Department of
Finance estimated almost $218 billion
in unfunded pension and retiree health
care liabilities for CalPERS, CalSTRS,
the University of California system
and judges. Thats the shortage the
funds need to cover so they are able to
fully pay all their promised nancial
commitments to retirees.
Gov. Jerry Brown signed legislation
last month creating a long-term plan
to pay down unfunded liabilities in the
teacher pension system, now estimat-
ed at $74 billion. The state estimates
CalPERS has nearly $50 billion in
unfunded liabilities, up from about
$45.5 billion in January.
The legislation requires higher
contributions to the fund from the
state, school districts and teachers
over time in an effort to eliminate
the unfunded liability by 2046.
Contributions eventually will rise to
$5 billion a year.
Earlier this year, CalPERS also
approved the rst in a series of rate
increases to reflect longer life
expectancies for retirees.
Theres much, much work to be
done, Ted Eliopoulos, CalPERS
interim chief investment ofcer, told
reporters in a conference call. Were
ever vigilant. We try not to get too
excited in good years or bad years
about one-year results.
CalPERS portfolio is now $299.4
billion, while CalSTRS is estimated at
$189.1 billion.
PENSION
LOS ANGELES Archie Andrews will
die taking a bullet for his gay best
friend.
The famous freckle-faced comic book
icon is meeting his demise in
Wednesdays installment of Life with
Archie when he intervenes in an assas-
sination attempt on Kevin Keller,
Archie Comics rst openly gay charac-
ter. Andrews death, which was rst
announced in April, will mark the con-
clusion of the series that focuses on
grown-up renditions of Andrews and his
Riverdale pals.
The way in which Archie dies is
everything that you would expect of
Archie, said Jon Goldwater, Archie
Comics publisher and co-CEO. He dies
heroically. He dies selessly. He dies in
the manner that epitomizes not only the
best of Riverdale but the best of all of
us. Its what Archie has come to repre-
sent over the past almost 75 years.
Kellers character rst joined Veronica
Lodge, Betty Cooper, Jughead Jones
and Reggie Mantle in the Archie Comics
spin-off Veronica in 2010. He later
appeared in his own solo title. In Life
with Archie, Keller is a married mili-
tary veteran and newly elected senator
whos pushing for more gun control in
Riverdale after his husband was
involved in a shooting.
We wanted to do something that was
impactful that would really resonate
with the world and bring home just how
important Archie is to everyone, said
Goldwater. Thats how we came up with
the storyline of saving Kevin. He could
have saved Betty. He could have saved
Veronica. We get that, but metaphorical-
l y, by saving Kevin, a new Riverdale is
born.
Andrew Wheeler, who writes about the
comic book industry at
ComicsAlliance.com, praised the way
that Andrews will be killed off. He wrote
on Monday that Archies sacrice isnt
just a moment of heroism; it offers an
unambiguous condemnation of
Americas lax gun laws and said that
its not surprising to see Archie
Comics tackling such a serious issue
because the publisher doesnt shy away
from risky ideas.
