South San Francisco selects new superintendent

Shawnterra Moore will be promoted to top official, under approval from school board
By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Shawnterra Moore is set to accept a promotion making her the new leader of the
South San Francisco Unified School
District, replacing former superintendent
Alejandro Hogan who abruptly resigned in
March.
She will accept an annual salary of
$185,000 over the three-year lifetime of

Shawnterra
Moore

her
contract,
under
approval of the district
Board of Trustees, as
members are set to consider her hiring during an
upcoming
meeting
Thursday, July 16.
Moore, who previously served as the associate
superintendent
of
Education Services, was

selected due in part to her familiarity with

the district, which members of the school
community identified as a premier qualification they desired for the candidate selected
to fill Hogans position.
We wanted to look at somebody who fit
well with our district, and knew our district, said Judy Bush, president of the
Board of Trustees.
Moore rose through the administrative
ranks after coming to South San Francisco

in 2010, and is now slated to take over for

Hogan, who quit to take an assistant superintendent position at the Napa Valley
Unified School District.
She and fellow Assistant Superintendent
Jacqueline McEvoy have handled the administrative responsibilities since April when
Hogan announced his intent to leave his
post early.

BEATING THE HEAT

Residents, advocacy groups envision

upgrades for gateway development

SAMANTHA WEIGEL/DAILY JOURNAL

Children learn how to swim at the Martin Luther King Jr. Center in San Mateo during the Parks and Recreation
Departments polliwog class Monday afternoon. The hot and humid weather was influenced by southerly air
from Hurricane Dolores. Tuesday and Wednesday should see highs in the mid 60s to lower 70s.

Suggestions to improve a massive mixed-use development proposed near the Millbrae train station is slated to be bandied by residents, bicyclists, health officials, environmental advocates
and others.
Concerned parties will host a
discussion Tuesday, July 21,
regarding the project which targets building a combined nearly
400, 000 square feet of office
space, about 80,000 square feet of
retail and more than 800 residential units, as well as a hotel, near
the intersection of El Camino Real

and Millbrae Avenue.

The event, hosted at the
Millbrae Recreation Center, 477
Lincoln Circle, begins at 6:30
p.m., will offer another opportunity for those affected by developments to voice their concerns and
make suggestions for the way the
projects may take shape.
There are concerns that the
plans arent as good as they could
be, said Ann Schneider, a
Millbrae resident who has declared
her interest in running for City
Council. Schneider is also helping
to organize the meeting.

Just a kangaroo in the vineyard

during Australian snowstorm
SYDNEY Kangaroos are a common sight for Australian vineyard
owner Bill Shrapnel. But a winter
storm this week was the first time hed
seen a roo in the snow.
Shrapnel guesses about 30 of the
timid and watchful creatures live
on his 77-acre Colmar Estate vineyard
in Orange, New South Wales.
But before he peeked out his back
window Thursday, he had never seen
one of the kangaroos in the snow.
They just turned up and started to
feed. The younger ones boxed with one
another as if it was just another day.
A surprised Shrapnel snapped a
photo, which his daughter shared on
social media.
Shrapnel, 62, and his wife Jan
moved to Orange earlier this year from
Sydney, which hasnt seen snow since
1836.
While the couple had prepared for
their first winter, he says, having it
snow three times in a week is not what
we expected.
The winter storm caused traffic accidents, school closures and power outages around the state on Australias
southeastern coast.

State proposes $1.5M fine for taking water

By Fenit Nirappil

www.smdailyjournal.com

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SACRAMENTO California regulators

on Monday proposed a first-of-its-kind,
$1.5 million fine for a group of Central
Valley farmers accused of illegally taking
water during the drought.
It would be the first such fine against an
individual or district with claims to water
that are more than a century-old, known as
senior water rights holders. Entities with
those rights have long enjoyed immunity
from cutbacks.
The fine reflects the rising severity of
Californias four-year drought that has
prompted the state to demand cutbacks from
even those who have been historically shel-

tered from mandatory conservation.

The State Water Resources Control Board
said state data showed the Byron-Bethany
Irrigation District in the eastern San
Francisco Bay Area diverted water from a
pumping plant even after it was warned in
June that there wasnt enough legally available.
The district serves 160 farming families in three counties in the agriculturerich Central Valley and a residential com-

munity of 12, 000 people.

It has sued the state over the boards June
warning to immediately stop taking water
because the watershed was running too dry
to meet demand. The district estimates its
farmers will see a $65 million loss in crops
that include cherries, walnuts and grapes.
District general manager Rick Gilmore
said he did not know a penalty was coming
and wasnt aware of the details. The water
that the state believes was taken might have
been supplemental supplies purchased by
the district, he said.
Andrew Tauriainen, a prosecutor for the
water board, said there was no indication the
district had been taking such supplemental
water from other sources before the alleged
diversions began.

Man allegedly
attacked with golf club
A man was arrested early Saturday morning
for allegedly hitting another man with a golf
club at Mariners Point Golf Center in Foster
City.
Galentine Minnin, a 48-year-old Millbrae
resident, was arrested before 1:53 a.m. for
assault with a deadly weapon and police are
looking into a second suspect who may have
been involved, said Foster City police Capt.
Frank Derris.
The victim, a man in his late 30s, reported
he met the two suspects in the parking lot
outside the golf course off Third Avenue,
Derris said. The three apparently did not
know each other before becoming involved
in a verbal altercation that turned physical.
The victim was treated at the scene after
being hit in the head and chest with either a
golf club or fists, Derris said.
Police are continuing to investigate the
incident to determine the exact nature of the
alleged crime and whether the second suspect
also hit the victim. It appears as though there
was drinking involved, but it is unclear who
was intoxicated, Derris said.

Eco-friendly pope to
encourage likeminded
mayors at the Vatican
By Nicole Winfield
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

VATICAN CITY One city banned

Styrofoam. Another has the highest percentage of clean cars in Europe. Still
another has cut greenhouse gas emissions
by 29 percent since 1990 while its GDP
grew 19 percent.
Dozens of environmentally friendly mayors from around the world are meeting at the
Vatican Tuesday to bask in the star power of
eco-Pope Francis and commit to reducing
global warming and helping the urban poor
deal with its effects.
Its the latest and perhaps most important Vatican initiative to keep the
momentum alive after Francis released his
landmark environment encyclical and as
governments head into crucial climate
negotiations in Paris in December.
Already, the Vatican has engaged Nobel
science laureates, global faith leaders, the
U.N. leadership, eco-friendly businesses
and even the self-described secular Jewish
feminist and environmental advocate
Naomi Klein to promote Francis message
that caring for the Earth and humanity
is an urgent moral imperative.
Now, the pope is turning to mayors, some

60 of whom signed up to
attend the two-day meeting at the Vatican.
Several belong to the
new Carbon Neutral
Cities Alliance, whose
members have committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by
Jerry Brown at least 80 percent by
2050 or sooner.
Attending is Gov. Jerry Brown of
California, which has enacted the toughest
greenhouse gas emissions standards in
North America, as well as the mayors of
New York City, Boston, Oslo, Vancouver
and Boulder, Colorado.
Also represented is San Francisco, which
has banned plastic bags and Styrofoam;
Stockholm, which has the highest percentage of clean vehicles in Europe; and Berlin,
which cut its emissions by 29 percent in the
past 25 years.
Other mayors hail from the developing
world: Libreville, Gabon; Siquirres, Costa
Rica and Kochi, India.
Experts have long said that cities are key
to reducing global warming since urban
areas account for nearly three-quarters of
human emissions. Mayors are also on the

They cant afford the luxury of a false
debate over whether the problem is real,
said Alden Meyer of the Union of Concerned
Scientists, which has been active for
decades in international climate negotiations. Theyre dealing with the consequences already.
In his sweeping manifesto last month,
Francis blamed global warming on an
unfair, fossil-fuel-based industrial economic model that harms the poor the most.

sponsible: Even the popes financial czar,

Cardinal George Pell, a perceived climate
skeptic, has said the church has no business
pronouncing on matters of science.
But the Vatican has pressed ahead to create
a broad coalition to promote the message,
part of Francis belief that grass-roots
movements and non-traditional players are
key to changing the global system.
The conference is also addressing another
of Francis priorities: human trafficking.
Organizers say climate issues and trafficking both involve the exploitation of the
Earth and its people, with the poor hit the
hardest.
The mayors are expected to sign a declaration addressing both issues and hear a pep
talk from the pope himself.

Grievances persist despite new era in U.S.-Cuba ties

By Matthew Lee
and Michael Weissenstein
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON The Cuban national flag fluttered in the Washington sun

Monday as the U.S. and Cuba formally
ended more than a half-century of
estrangement, formally re-establishing relations severed at the height of
the Cold War. But the symbolism of an
embassy ceremony could not conceal
deep, lingering conflicts between the
nations.
In the sweltering July heat and
humidity of Americas capital, Cuban
Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez
presided over the flag-raising ceremony just hours after an agreement to
restore diplomatic ties broken in 1961
took effect at the stroke of midnight.

He later met with Secretary of State

John Kerry, becoming the first Cuban
foreign minister to set foot in the State
Department since 1958.
Kerry announced that he would make
a reciprocal visit to Cuba to dedicate
the U.S. Embassy in Havana on Aug.
14. He spoke of a need to move beyond
the enmity that was spawned as
President John F. Kennedy grappled
with Fidel Castros revolution and
Soviet expansionism and that hardened
over the 54 years that followed.
Despite pledges of goodwill and
mutual respect, ghosts of past animosity hung over the events.
At the reopening of the Cuban
embassy and again at a joint news conference with Kerry, Rodriguez repeated
demands for the U.S. to end its 53-year
embargo, return the U.S. naval base at

House ethics panel
confirms inquiry of state Rep. Honda
WASHINGTON The House Ethics Committee said
Monday it is investigating Rep. Michael Honda, D-Calif.,
for a possible ethics violation.
Honda, 74, is in his eighth term representing the Silicon Valley area in
Northern California.
The ethics panel declined to reveal
details Monday, but San Jose Inside, on
online news site, has reported that Honda
may have violated House rules against
coordination between his campaign and
official staffs.
Michael Honda
San Jose Inside reported last year on
emails that it said showed Hondas longtime chief of staff, Jennifer Van der Heide, and other House
aides coordinated with Hondas re-election campaign on
invitations to an official State Department event. The goal
was to target influential South Asian donors for campaign
contributions, the news site said. Adam Alberti, a
spokesman for Hondas campaign, said the ethics inquiry
was prompted by a politically motivated complaint issued
by Hondas opponent in the 2014 election, Ro Khanna.

California bridge passed

inspection, failed in flash flood
DESERT CENTER The interstate bridge that washed out
in the desert between Los Angeles and Phoenix easily withstood its daily load of thousands of cars and trucks, but the
pounding of a powerful flash flood scoured away the land
where the bridge was anchored, officials said Monday.
The flood severed a highway vital to the movement of people and commerce between two of the nations largest cities.
On an average day, the interstate carries about 27,000 vehicles in either direction. Water rushing through a normally dry
desert gully eroded the land around the Interstate 10 bridge,
causing one side of the eastbound span to collapse and forcing the indefinite closure of the westbound span.
While the bridge should have been fine if the flood came
straight down the gully, this time it swept down at an angle
that pushed the water to one side, digging away the soil at
the gullys edge where the bridge reconnected with the road
bed, according to California Department of Transportation
spokeswoman Vanessa Wiseman.

Planned Parenthood: Video part of decadelong harassment

By Alan Fram
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON

Planned
Parenthood told Congress Monday
that a secretly recorded video released
last week by an anti-abortion group is
fraudulent and part of a years-long pattern of illegal harassment aimed at
prohibiting abortion.
In a letter to the House Energy and
Commerce Committee,
Planned

Parenthood said it fell victim to a fake

company called Biomax Procurement
Services that posed as a buyer of
human tissues. It was actually created
by David Daleiden, an official of the
group that released the video, and was
engaged in a campaign of corporate
espionage
targeting
Planned
Parenthood, the letter said.
A group of extremists who have
intimidated women and doctors for
years in their agenda to ban abortion completely are not document-

ing misdeeds; they are trying to create

them, quite unsuccessfully, Planned
Parenthood wrote to lawmakers.
In a show of defiance at least for
now Planned Parenthood also told
the House committee that it has not yet
decided whether it will honor lawmakers request for a briefing by Dr.
Deborah Nucatola, who speaks at
length in the video about obtaining
fetal tissue for research. Nucatola is
the organizations senior director of
medical services.

House to take up bill blocking money for sanctuary cities

By Erica Werner
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON The House will take

up a bill this week blocking funding for
so-called sanctuary cities that resist
turning over immigrants to federal

authorities. The move follows the

shooting death of a woman in San
Francisco this month, allegedly by an
immigrant with a criminal record and
without legal status.
San Francisco authorities had released
the man despite a request from federal

officials to keep him in custody.

That was in line with a practice by San
Francisco and other jurisdictions that
have begun refusing to cooperate with
federal immigration orders amid concerns over their legality and their
impact on immigrant communities.

Airstrikes on IS-held town in northern Syria kill 20
BAGHDAD More than 20 people have been killed,
many of them children, and dozens of others wounded
Monday in airstrikes that targeted a northern Syria town held
by the Islamic State group, activists and the IS group said.
The airstrikes that targeted the town of Manbej in Aleppo
province were most likely carried out by Syrian army warplanes, according to the Britain-based Syrian Observatory
for Human Rights. It said the death toll was likely to rise
because many of the wounded suffered critical injuries.
Twitter and Facebook accounts affiliated with the Islamic
State group said 26 people were killed and around 100 others
wounded in the attacks.
Syrian warplanes often target IS-held towns and cities
across northern Syria. The airstrikes often result in civilian
casualties. A U.S.-led coalition also bombs IS targets in
Syria on a daily basis, but the two sides say their overflights
and strikes are not coordinated.
In Iraq, militants from the Islamic State group blew up a
sports stadium in the western Anbar province that in recent
months had been used as a military base, officials said
Monday.

Death toll from Yemen rebel

shelling doubles to nearly 100
SANAA, Yemen The death toll in Yemen from the Shiite
rebel shelling of a town near the southern port city of Aden
rose Monday to nearly 100, the head of an international aid
group said, describing it as the worst day for the city and its
surroundings in over three months of fighting.
The rebels, known as Houthis, and their allies started
shelled the town of Dar Saad on Sunday after earlier losing
control of some of Adens neighborhoods. The violence
highlighted the bloody chaos of the civil war gripping the
Arab worlds poorest country, which also has been the target
of Saudi-led, U.S.-backed airstrikes since late March.
Hassan Boucenine of the Geneva-based Doctors Without
Borders said that by Monday, his organization reported nearly 100 people dead, twice the casualty toll from the previous
day.
The shelling also wounded about 200 people, said
Boucenine, the head of the organization in Yemen. Of the
victims, 80 percent are civilians, including many pregnant
women, elderly and children, he added.
Yesterday was the worst day in Aden since (the Saudi-led
coalition campaign) started in March, Boucenine told the
Associated Press, adding that he fears attacks on civilians
will continue.

Greek banks reopen but cash

limits remain and taxes soar
By Derek Gatopoulos
and Nicholas Paphitis
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ATHENS, Greece Greek banks

reopened Monday for the first time in
three weeks, but strict limits on cash
withdrawals and higher taxes on everything from coffee to diapers meant the
economic outlook for the recessionbattered country was far from back to
normal.
There were hopeful developments:
The cash-strapped nation got a shortterm loan from European creditors to
pay more than 6 billion euros ($6.5
billion) owed to the International
Monetary Fund and the European
Central Bank. Non-payment of either
would have derailed Greeces latest
bailout request.
But for most Greeks, already buffeted
by six years of recession, Monday was
all about rising prices as tax hikes
demanded by creditors took effect.
Dimitris Chronis, who has run a
small kebab shop in central Athens for
20 years, said the higher tax rates

I cant put up my prices because Ill
have no customers at all, lamented
Chronis, who said sales have already
slid by around 80 percent since banking restrictions were imposed on June
29.
We used to deliver to offices nearby,

but most of them have closed. People

would order a lot and buy food for their
colleagues on special occasions. That

There are few parts of the Greek

U.N. endorses Iran nuclear deal with six world powers

By Edith M. Lederer
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

UNITED NATIONS The U. N.

Security Council on Monday unanimously endorsed the landmark deal to
rein in Irans nuclear program and
authorized measures leading to the end
of U.N. sanctions, but also approved a
provision that would automatically
reinstate the harsh measures if Tehran
reneges on its promises.

European Union foreign ministers

meeting in Brussels immediately followed suit, endorsing the agreement
between Iran and six major powers and
taking the first step to lift EU sanctions.
President Barack Obama told
reporters he hopes the Republicancontrolled U.S. Congress, where there
is strong opposition to the deal, will
pay attention to the broad international consensus, stressing that the

deal is by far our strongest approach

to ensuring that Iran does not get a
nuclear weapon.
But House Speaker John Boehner
accused Obama of ignoring the concerns of the American people by
allowing such a consequential vote
to go ahead in the U.N. just 24 hours
after submitting the agreement to
Congress, which has 60 days to consider it. This is a bad start for a bad
deal, he said.

Letters to the editor

Humility needed
Editor,
In her column Give me Organic
in the July 15 edition of the Daily
Journal, Dorothy Dimitre sows fear,
uncertainty and doubt about the safety of GMO foods, partially in reaction to an article in the New York
Times by Jane Brodie entitled
Fears, not Facts Support GMO-Free
foods.
After lamenting that she used to
have respect for Brodie, Dimitre
basically accuses Brodie as having
sold out to Monsanto. One would
think that the disagreement of a
respected columnist might make
Dimitre re-examine her own opinions on GMO foods, either changing
her mind or rebutting Brodie with
good research. Sadly, Dimitres reaction underscores a tendency in the
right and left to embrace science
when it supports their pre-existing
beliefs and accuse scientists of
working for the man when it doesnt. Dimitre accuses those against
GMO labeling of holding the elitist
view that the populace is too dumb
to make decisions about our food
based on GMO warning labels.
However, I would argue that, as
Dimitre has illustrated, the problem
isnt that the public lacks intelligence, but that we lack the humility
to admit that we might not be
experts.

Iran deal
Editor,
Deal or no deal, that is the question. It appears that the entire
United Nations Security Council
plus Germany, a group which usually
agrees on very little, has agreed on
the Iran plan. So we have nearly all
the worlds nuclear states satisfied
that this is reasonable and that the
sanctions can be lifted as the IAEA
confirms compliance.
Hey wait a minute, the Republican
party sees things differently. Even
the nuclear state of Israel sees that
all those heavyweights are being
manipulated by those wily Iranians.
Never mind that Israel has not even
bothered to join the NonProliferation Treaty as Iran has
done. To boost their credibility, the
Likud Billionaires Club (Sheldon
Adelson and some others) is
bankrolling the effort to derail this
bad agreement. So wed better listen

Congress should
defend the Iran deal
Editor,
The United States, our allies and
Iran recently reached a deal to stop
Iran from building nuclear weapons.
This historic agreement is an
opportunity to resolve one of
Americas biggest security concerns
through diplomacy, not war.
I hope my members of Congress
will publicly defend and support
this deal. If Congress kills this
good deal, Iran could unfreeze its
nuclear program, which means
either Iran gets a nuclear bomb or
we have to fight another war in the
Middle East.
After over a decade of war in Iraq,
Afghanistan and now Syria,
Americans like me are tired of war.
Congress should seize this opportunity to vote for a deal not war
with Iran.

Water rates
Editor,
We need to stop the city of Millbrae
from raising our water and sewer rates
any further. Please send in via mail or
better yet via personal delivery a letter protesting this increase Aug. 1.
It does not seem fair that Millbrae
is the only city that lost the case or
that even Baykeeper has a settlement
against our city. What went wrong
that now we as citizens have to bear
the consequences of this unfair rate
hike? We pay the highest water/sewer
bill in San Mateo County. Very soon
this water bill could reach levels of a
mortgage payment if we dont stop
them now. South San Francisco, San
Bruno or Daly City have low water
bills, how come we dont?
Let the voice of our city with a population of approximately 22,000 citizens protest this increase as the deadline of July 28 approaches. Turn in
your letter soon and make sure you do
get a receipt. Attend the meeting at 7
p.m. July 28. More letters are needed
so this rate increase can be stopped.

Pope should

The pope, while on his current trip,
has apologized for the treatment the

a few years ago. (Strangely, many
of the oppressed, indigenous people
have joined their oppressors church.)
In any case, the pope, instead of
making our own Junipero Serra a
saint (as hes in the process of
doing), should also issue a similar
apology to the indigenous people of
this country. Its well-known how
Serra treated the people of California
before it was renamed California).
Better yet, he should encourage
indigenous and all other people
to rejoin the religions and beliefs
that they held before the invasion of

Even better, he should encourage all

Be mindful of
big distractions

lato once said that the greatest problem with democracy is that the success of its governance is inextricably linked to the education of its citizens. This, he
explained, ultimately determines whether citizens collectively decide to elect virtuous public servants or succumb to
distractions by those unt for ofce.
Platos words were written thousands of years ago. Yet, we
can clearly see the manifestation of its truth in politics
today. Take, for example, the fact that world-famous billionaire and public gure Donald Trump has captured rst place
in a new Republican presidential nationwide poll released
Tuesday. Trump leads the poll with 17 percent support while
former Florida governor Jeb Bush has secured a mere 14 percent. The remaining GOP candidates are behind with singledigit margins.
Trump ascended to the top of
the polls following a series of
outlandish comments targeted at
undocumented Mexican immigrants. His national spotlight
could not come at a more pivotal
time for the GOP, particularly
when many who hear his harsh
and comical rhetoric consider
him the face of the Republican
party. This could not be further
from the truth.
In fact, a number of
Jonathan Madison
Republican leaders have ardently
distanced themselves from Trump
for his distasteful rhetoric and distraction from the more
experienced and reputable candidates in the GOP. Political
pundits such as George Will and Charles Krauthammer have
dismissed Trump as an untimely diversion from the GOPs
pool of more experienced and reputable candidates.
Sure, political pundits rightfully point out that it is too
early in polls to determine that Trump will likely be the
Republican presidential nominee. However, that is not the
issue for which we should be most concerned.
A central question comes to mind when we witness a phenomena like this: how has a gure with no political experience and such comical rhetoric ascended to lead the GOPs
nationwide polls for president?
Fortunately, Plato has already answered the question for
us. Donald Trump is nothing more than a large-scale distraction blinding many from other, more experienced candidates. While most pundits have quickly dismissed Trump as a
temporary distraction, his lead in the polls warrants an
appropriate discussion for why many are following him.
You see, Republicans are not the only party attempting to
silence an untimely distraction. Avowed DemocraticSocialist U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-VT, is also near the
forefront of nationwide polls in the Democrat party, slowly
chipping away at front-runner Hillary Clintons lead.
As such, we are witnessing a time in which two of the
most unlikely candidates have large coalitions behind them.
The message grows louder and clearer by the day: voters
want an outsider. Voters crave a candidate who will unapologetically defend their interests at the front and center of
world media.
A growing segment of GOP voters prefer a candidate who
is less worried about being politically correct. Some prefer a
candidate who is more concerned with ardently advocating
for the interests of the partys ideology, rather than acting
as a compromiser. Perhaps this is why Trump currently has
higher approval ratings than Senate Majority Leader Mitch
McConnell, R-KY, and House Speaker John Boehner, R-OH.
A large coalition of Democrat voters support Sanders
because he exemplies a staunch liberal who would courageously ght for American workers and potentially advocate
for minimum wage hikes, the rejection of long-standing
trade deals, and a single payer health care system.
Both candidates are of high importance because their candidacies cast a light on the current minds of our nations voters. However, I am convinced that the relevancy of both
candidates will vanish just as quickly as it appeared in their
swift ascension in the polls. Take, for example, the astounding statements Trump made with regard to foreign policy
last week. Trump proudly proclaimed that, given the chance,
he would bomb the hell out of the oil elds in Iraq to blitz
ISIS an act that U.S. military ofcials nd very alarming.
Or, perhaps his labeling Mexican immigrants rapists and
terrorists rhetoric that incites fear rather than hope.
What we ought to look for in a presidential candidate are
values that rise far above the uncomforting rhetoric of fear,
hatred and vitriol. We should look for the luminous qualities
of outstanding leadership, tested experience and the capacity
to inspire others to reach beyond present circumstances.
Now more than ever, it is time for the GOP to clarify its
stance on issues such as immigration reform and other
pressing issues of our time. The alternative is to allow the
rhetoric of one distraction to blind voters from virtuous
public servants who are much more qualied to govern the
worlds highest ofce.

Technology stocks rose more than
the rest of the market. Gold slumped to
its lowest level in five years, pulling
mining stocks lower. A nearly threeweek slump in oil prices deepened.
The Dow Jones industrial average

while the Dow is up 1.6 percent. The

Nasdaq has gained 10.2 percent this

year.
Stocks briefly wavered in early trading Monday, but mostly remained on
course for a gain as traders reviewed the
latest earnings reports.
Toymaker Hasbro and the oil and gas
company Halliburton rose after reporting results Monday that were better

PayPal surged 5.4 percent on its first
day of trading as a stand-alone company after its separation from eBay.
PayPal gained $2.08 to $40.47.
Newmont Mining slid 12.2 percent
as gold prices slumped. The stock lost
$2.53 to $18.16.
All told, seven of the 10 sectors in
the S&P 500 moved higher, led by
technology stocks. The sector is up
5.7 percent this year. Energy stocks
fell the most, extending the sectors
losses for the year to 10.5 percent.

Shares of PayPal rise on first day of trading

By Mae Anderson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK PayPal shares

jumped in its first day as a separate
and publicly traded company as the
firm outlined plans to capitalize on
the rise of mobile payments and the
growing digitization of money.
The payments system company
officially split with eBay Inc. on
Friday, 10 months after they
announced that they were going their
separate ways.
PayPal processed $235 billion in
total payment volume last year and
logged revenue of about $8 billion. It
plans to grow market share in mobile
and online payments as well as
expanding in areas like in-store payments.
Trading on the Nasdaq Stock

Exchange under the stock ticker

PYPL, shares jumped $2.08, or 5.4
percent, to $40.47 on Monday.
PayPal CEO Dan Schulman and
employees rung in the opening bell
on the Nasdaq, while the company
gave out food via food trucks in
Times Square and posted passersbys
photos on Nadsaqs seven-story digital billboard to commemorate the
listing.
In an interview with the Associated
Press on Monday, Schulman said that
being an independent company gives
PayPal the ability to work with companies that might have hesitated
before the split due to its association
with eBay.
One of the big advantages for us is
truly we now are worlds leading neutral third-party payments provider
and that will allow us the opportunity

to partner with a number of companies across the world who before the
separation either directly competed
with eBay or had a perceived potential conflict with eBay, he said.
And now we are free to work with
any of them.
But similar to before the separation, the companys focus is to grow
its relationship with merchants and
consumers, he added.
We want to be much more than a
proprietary button on merchants
websites, he said. We want to be a
full-services partner to them as they
look to use mobile tech to create
more intimate relationship with their
customers.
PayPal plans to grow market share
with online and mobile payments,
as well as in-store payments, he
said.

Apple has cash cow in iPhone even as phone industry slows

SAN FRANCISCO Smartphone

sales may be slowing for some tech
companies, but not for Apple.
Analysts expect another powerhouse
performance from the California tech
giant when it reports quarterly financial results Tuesday. Apples signature

iPhones remain popular, even as other

smartphone makers are seeing demand
slow down.
Wall Street analysts estimate Apple
will report a hefty $10.3 billion in
profit after selling $49 billion worth
of iPhones, iPads, Mac computers and
other products during the April-June
quarter. Thats an increase of more than
30 percent in both revenue and profit
from the same period a year earlier.

Apple has said it wont release sales

figures for the new Apple Watch,
though some analysts believe demand
has fallen since Apple introduced the
wearable gadget three months ago. But
it almost doesnt matter: As in other
recent quarters, Apple will reap its
biggest rewards from its smartphones,
especially the new, big-screen iPhone
6 and 6 Plus models introduced last
fall.

will shrink 3.4 percent compared with

the prior year, according to S&P
Capital IQ.
Earnings are taking center stage
once again as fears over a Greek exit
from the euro have abated.
On Monday, Greek banks reopened
for the first time in more than three
weeks. The European Union sent
Athens the short-term money it needs
to pay off a 4.2 billion-euro ($4.6 billion) debt to the European Central
Bank and clear its arrears with the
International Monetary Fund. Other
hurdles remain before Greece secures
its third bailout.
In energy futures trading, the price of
oil continued its nearly three-week
slump as it fell with other commodities over concerns over weakening
demand in China.
Benchmark U.S. crude dipped below
$50 briefly for the first time since
April and closed down 74 cents to
$50.15 a barrel in New York. Brent
crude, a benchmark for international
oils used by many U.S. refineries, fell
45 cents to close at $56.65 in London.
In other futures trading on the
NYMEX, wholesale gasoline rose 0.1
cent to close at $1. 930 a gallon.
Heating oil fell 0.6 cent to close at
$1.658 a gallon. Natural gas fell 4.7
cents to close at $2.823 per 1,000
cubic feet.

Monday.
The toy company earned $41.8 million, or 33 cents per

Pawtucket, Rhode Island-based company earned $33.5 million, or 26 cents per share.
The results exceeded Wall Street expectations. The average estimate of five analysts surveyed by Zacks Investment

SpaceX says 2-foot strut

snapped, brought down rocket
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. SpaceX suspects a 2-foot
steel strut snapped inside its rocket and led to last months
launch accident.
The companys founder and chief executive, Elon Musk,
said Monday that hundreds of these struts had flown many
times before without any problem. But two minutes into the
June 28 launch, one of the struts in the second stage of the
unmanned Falcon 9 rocket likely broke loose.
The strut was holding down a high-pressure helium bottle
in the liquid oxygen tank. If the strut snapped as engineers
believe, according to Musk, the bottle would have shot to
the top of the tank at high speed, dooming the rocket and
its Dragon supply ship for the International Space Station.

S.M. American ousted from sectionals

By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Two near comebacks both fell short to end

San Mateo American Majors All-Stars
Section 3 tournament run.
After capturing the District 52 Majors
championship by outscoring opponents
55-11 throughout the tournament, American
opened the Section 3 tourney with a 17-1
lashing of Centerville American-Fremont
last Wednesday. American couldnt keep up
the torrid offensive pace, however, falling

to San Lorenzo Valley 6-5 last Friday to

drop to the losers bracket, then being eliminated Sunday by Danville in a 6-4 thriller.
Theyre probably as good as those two
teams. They just lost, San Mateo American
manager P.J. Jeremiah said. We just made a
couple mistakes to make the difference.
They were a little upset. Thats the way it
goes sometimes.
American came back to tie after trailing
both games.
Friday, San Lorenzo went up 5-0 through
the first two innings against American ace

right-hander Petey Halpin. But at the plate,

Halpin sparked a pair of rallies as his team
drew even.
In the fourth inning, Halpin led off with a
double. Terence Loville followed with a tworun home run and Robert Vaihola gave
American back-to-back blasts with a solo
homer, cutting San Lorenzos lead to 5-3.
Then Halpin singled to open the sixth
inning. He came around to score on
Lovilles RBI double. Loville later scored
on a passed ball to tie it 5-5.
San Lorenzo rallied in the bottom of the

sixth, however, scoring the walk-off win on

Matthew Marquezs single to plate James
Rouce.
History repeated itself Sunday against
Danville. American jumped out to a 1-0 lead
in the first inning on Halpins solo home
run. But Danville scored two in the third and
two more in the fourth to go up 4-1. But in
the fourth, American rallied for a last-gasp
comeback to draw even.

Showdown at St. Andrews

Johnson outduels Oosthuizen and Leishman in British Open playoff
By Doug Ferguson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ST. ANDREWS, Scotland Zach

Johnson cradled the silver claret jug in his
arms. Jordan Spieth let it slip through his
fingers.
Spieth was right where he wanted to be in
his spirited bid for the Grand Slam tied
for the lead with two holes to go in the
British Open, right after making a 50-foot
birdie putt that made it feel as though he
were destined to win at St. Andrews for his
third straight major.
And he was still there at the very end
Monday, but only as a spectator.

The slam gone, Spieth graciously returned

to the steps of the Royal & Ancient clubhouse to watch Johnson finish off a sterling
performance of his own. Johnson rolled in a
30-foot birdie putt on the 18th hole that got
him into a three-man playoff, and he outlasted Louis Oosthuizen and Marc Leishman
to win the British Open.
Johnson described himself as a normal
guy from Cedar Rapids, Iowa, when he won
the Masters in 2007.
And now?
Im a normal guy from Cedar Rapids ...
with a green jacket that has something that
most guys dont get to drink out of right
now, Johnson said, smiling as he looked at

golfs oldest trophy with his name etched

alongside most of the games greatest players.
Spieth was close to having his name on
that jug. No one ever came closer to the
third leg of the Grand Slam.
He fought back from taking four putts for
a double bogey on No. 8 with back-to-back
birdies. He rolled in that long birdie putt on
the 16th for a share of the lead. After missing an 8-foot par putt on the tough 17th
hole, Spieth needed a birdie on the closing
hole to join the playoff.

couple weeks ago I told you of

my wifes recent infatuation
with rugby. Saturday night, she
got to indulge her new passion when we
watched the Pacific Nations Cup rugby
matches at San Joses Avaya Stadium.
While my wife was there for the JapanCanada and Samoa-United States rugby
matches, I was more interested in checking out the San
Jose Earthquakes
new stadium, which
I can say is a really
nice venue.
Below is a list of
the good and the
not-so-good parts
of the stadium.
There is one
caveat, however.
Avaya Stadium,
which holds 18,000
fans, was not sold
out for the rugby
matches. Only the seats on one side of
the stadium were sold, but I would still
estimate between 10,000 and 12,000
rugby fans were in attendance dominated by Samoa fans.
Maybe the Avaya experience changes
with a full house, but I can only base my
review on what I experienced Saturday.

Pros
Co zy co nfi nes : First off, Avaya
Stadium is an absolute jewel. It is to soccer what AT&T Park is to baseball. Its
modeled after the small, intimate stadiums one would find in Europe and there is
literally not a bad seat in the house. Add
in the standing-room end zones adjacent to all the field-level boxes and
Avaya is a good experience.
We ended up in the standing-only section
in the west end zone for most of the matches (youll find out why in the cons section
below) and the best way to describe the
atmosphere would be the bleachers at any
major league baseball game. There is just a
grittier vibe in the bleachers of a baseball
game and the end zone at Avaya definitely

Giants 6-game win streak snapped in San Diego

By Bernie Wilson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN DIEGO Matt Kemp hit a two-run

homer to help the Padres beat the Giants 42 Monday night and extend their winning
streak to a season-high five games.
Kemps 409-foot drive off 40-year-old Tim
Hudson into the sandy play area beyond the
right-center fence in the third inning was his
fourth homer in seven games and 10th overall. It also gave the outfielder 700 career
RBIs. Alexi Amarista was aboard on a walk.

Kemp had a strong second half for the Los

Angeles Dodgers last season and appears to be
heating up when the
Padres desperately need it.
Theyve underperformed
despite general manager
A.J. Prellers dramatic
winter roster makeover,
Matt Kemp
including the centerpiece
deal to acquire Kemp from the rival Dodgers.
The slugger also homered Friday night

against Colorado, and the Padres have hit

six in three games since the All-Star break.
Ian Kennedy (5-9) pitched six strong
innings to snap a four-start losing streak and
end the Giants six-game winning streak.
Craig Kimbrel threw a perfect ninth on four
pitches for his 26th save in 27 chances.
San Diego has won 13 of 18 against the
Giants at Petco Park since 2013.
The Padres previous longest winning
streak was four games from June 2-6. Then
they lost five of their next eight games,
costing manager Bud Black his job on June

15. Bench coach Dave Roberts managed one

game before the Padres brought in Pat
Murphy as interim manager.
Kemps homer gave San Diego a 2-1 lead.
The Giants tied it on Buster Poseys two-out
single in the fifth. Kennedy retired the first
two batters before allowing three straight
singles, including Poseys base hit to left.
San Diego went ahead 3-2 in the fifth,
when it twice loaded the bases but scored
only one run. Hudson failed to get an out,

Womens baseball debuts at Pan Am Games

By Stephen Wade
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

TORONTO Womens baseball made

history Monday at the Pan Am Games, the
first time its been played in a large, multisport event.
There was no live television coverage at
the debut, and perhaps only 200 fans saw the
first pitch as American left-hander Sarah
Hudek threw a ball just off the plate to open
the game against leadoff hitter Astrid
Rodriguez of Venezuela.
To be here, this is awesome. This is it,
said American player Malaika Underwood.
It doesnt matter that were not on TV. I
mean the fact we are out here is the point.
When we look back at this, I think well
appreciate the magnitude.
For the record, the United States defeated
Venezuela 10-6 in a regulation seven innings.
Pardon a joke the women have heard many
times, but none of the players threw like a girl,
and none wore a skirt, which was the uniform
in the 1992 film A League of their own, a
depiction of womens professional baseball in
the United States in the 1940s starring Tom

U.S. left-hander Sarah Hudek made history Monday in Toronto by throwing the first pitch in
the inaugural year of womens baseball in the Pan Am Games.
Hanks, Geena Davis and Madonna.
Im glad we dont wear skirts, said
Underwood a 34-year-old infielder and a veteran on a team ranging in age from 16 to 41.

Im not sure I would feel comfortable playing

in a skirt. Sliding, it would be tough.
The field and the distances are identical in
the mens and womens games. The only dif-

ference is seven innings for the women, and

nine for the men.
The first three innings took more than an
hour to play, so the speed also resembled some
mens games.
Hudek said her father, former major-league
reliever John Hudek, probably couldnt hit her
heat.
He wasnt the best hitter, she said.
In the second inning, Venezuela nearly
pulled off a triple play.
The United States had runners on first and
second, and American Anna Kimbrell hit a
sharp hopper to third. Venezuelas Daily
Gimenez touched third, got the force and second, but Kimbrell beat the relay to first by a
step.
The Americans are represented by a firefighter, a nurse, two high-school students
and a wide mix of players, most of whom
grew up playing baseball. Some also played
softball, but Underwood guessed about twothirds played only baseball on womens
teams, or mens teams.
The United States has no professional league
for women, although Japan and several other
countries do.

But Danville answered with two runs in the sixth to take

got drilled with a line-drive single off the bat of Halpin, but
after a 10-minute play stoppage remained in the game.
American was retired in order in the top of the sixth to end
it.
Jeremiah said his team was upset following the game, as
American had its sights set on being the third District 52
team in the three years to advance to the West Region playoffs in San Bernardino.
We set goals to take our district and then after that we
had more goals to get to San Bernardino, Jeremiah said.
We fell short, but the only way to do it is to set that goal
and you work for that prize.

felt that way. Not in a scary way, but the language is a little more
coarse, the heckling a little more inventive and the excitement of
big plays a little more exciting.
Maki ng co nces s i o ns : Actually, I didnt have to make
many as the line for food and drinks were remarkably short.
Ive waited in longer lines at high school football games.
We did actually order a couple of beers from the largest
outdoor bar in North America, lickety-split. We didnt even
have to wait.
Like all stadiums, prices are a high bottled water was
$4.50, bottled soda was $5.50 but lets be honest, who
doesnt buy food and drinks at the game? Of course you do.
Eas y i n, eas y o ut: Granted, the stadium wasnt sold out
but I was surprised how smoothly we got in and out.
First of all, the freeway access is phenomenal, for me
anyway. Living in the East Bay, I take Interstate 880 into
the stadium. Parking lots are literally a mile off the
Interstate 880 off ramp the same exit one would take to
go the Oakland Airport.
Save for some confusing signage, we finally found the correct driveway to general parking. After about a five-minute
wait, we paid our 10 bucks (which was a bargain to park on
site) and had maybe a 10-minute walk to the stadium. I dont
know how much the Earthquakes charge for parking during
soccer games, but $10 was an absolute steal.
Following Samoas win over the United States in the doubleheader nightcap, we were out of the stadium, in our car, out
of the lot and on the freeway in about 20 minutes an
absolute luxury for a sporting event.

Cons
Bri ng s uns creen: I havent been to Levis Stadium, but
Ive heard the horror stories of the sun field that is on one side
of the stadium. My initial response was: just pampered
patrons who couldnt stand a little heat.
Ill tell you what, you have got to be in survival mode at
this time of year to sit on the sun side of Avaya, which would
be the side nearest Interstate 880. We got to our seats about
4:45 p.m. for the 5 p.m. match between Japan and Canada. It
wasnt long before we started feeling the heat. My wifes skin
was turning red before my eyes.
Now I know what the people at Levis must be complaining
about. The heat was brutal, which led us to hanging out in the
standing-room only section of the stadium.
I kept an eye on our seats throughout the rugby matches and
noticed that our section of seats was in the area that received
shade last.
If I had to stay in those seats throughout the match, I would
have dealt with it and the ensuing sunburn that inevitably
would have come with it. In the future, Ill remember to lube
up with sunscreen before going to a game at Avaya.
Keep y o ur ey e o ut fo r parki ng s i g ns : Just take my
word for it and dont follow the line of cars making a left turn
in front of the stadium. Just keep going straight. We found out
the hard way the first left to Avaya is VIP parking only. Car
after car pulled forward to the attendant, who then motions the
driver to make a U-turn and go back from whence they came.
When I pulled up and was informed it was VIP parking, I
asked, How do I get in there?
The attendant replied: Be a VIP.
Me: Shoot, I am a VIP!
With a laugh, I made the U-turn. I told my wife after the fact I
should have pulled out my press pass. Something tells me the
guy would have let me in. But my pass was in my bag in the
trunk and I wasnt about to turn around again to try my luck.
As you can see, the pros outweigh the cons when it comes
to Avaya Stadium, at least according to my unofficial review.
One of my biggest gripes when going to pro sporting events
is the sheer amount of time needed for the game. Its a monumental endeavor to attend games nowadays and I usually dont
want to deal with it. The games themselves are great. The getting to and from the game? Thats another story.
But going to Avaya was not a nightmare you could
almost say it was fun - which may make me want to check
out another event there.
I guess now I have to go check out Levis Stadium.

Ishikawa drives in 4 as Pirates outslug Royals

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

KANSAS CITY, Mo. Travis

Ishikawa had three extra-base hits and
drove in four runs as the Pittsburgh
Pirates outslugged the Kansas City
Royals 10-7 Monday night.
Ishikawa, who was 1 for 13 with
one RBI in nine games since the
Pirates claimed him on waivers July 5,
hit a two-run double in a four-run second. He homered in the fifth with Jung
Ho Kang aboard.
A.J. Burnett (8-3) won despite giving up a season-high five earned runs
and 11 hits including two homers
in his initial start since his first
career trip to the All-Star Game. The
38-year-old right-hander pitched out
of a bases-loaded jam in the second.
The Royals cut the deficit to 8-7 in
the seventh and chased Burnett. Mike

inning. Eric Hosmer had an RBI triple

Two riders killed in California motorcycle race

By Kristen J. Bender
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO Two Spanish racers

were killed in a chain-reaction crash on the
first lap of a World Superbike race, leaving
the racing community overwhelmed with
sadness and raising questions about what
happened on the track.
The deaths occurred Sunday at Mazda
Raceway Laguna Seca, Monterey County sheriffs spokesman Cmdr. John Thornburg said.
The sheriffs office is not investigating the

crash
at
the
MotoAmerica
Superbike/Superstock 1000 race, which
appeared to be an accident, he said.
The track was dry during the race,
MotoAmerica spokesman Paul Carruthers said.
If theres ever an issue with the track, we
dont hold the race, he said.
Carruthers said there were 28 riders in the
race and thousands of spectators in the
stands when five competitors collided on
the first lap. Riders were tossed into the dirt
to the side of the track.
Carruthers declined to comment on whether

MotoAmerica identified the riders killed as
35-year-old Bernat Martinez, 35, of Alberic,

to hospitals, where they died.

Stewart Cink beat Tom Watson at Turnberry in
2009, and the first involving more than two
players since 2002 at Muirfield, the year Woods
failed in his bid for the third leg of the slam.

the first hole and pulled ahead with another
birdie on No. 2. Both made bogey on the 17th

Johnson and the South African had one last
chance. Oosthuizen, who won the British
Open when it last was at St. Andrews in 2010,
had a 12-foot birdie putt to force sudden death.
It touched the left side of the cup and kept
going, and Johnson was introduced as the
champion golfer of the year.
Spieth showed guts over the final two hours,
and class when his bid was over. He stuck
around to hug Johnson before he walked over
to get his trophy.
Just two weeks ago, Spieth went to Iowa to
take part in a charity event for Johnson before
playing and winning the John Deere
Classic. He was questioned for not coming
over to St. Andrews to prepare for a rare occasion of attempting the Grand Slam. Spieth put
that to rest with a performance that kept him
around the lead all week.
It was the first British Open to end on
Monday since 1988 because of a brief rain
delay Friday morning and 10 1/2-hour wind
delay on Saturday. But what a show. With 14
players separated by three shots, no one
seized control the entire day. Eight players had
at least a share of the lead at one point. Most
of them fell away.
Spieth kept a golfing nation in suspense
until the very end. Now, he goes to the PGA
Championship with a tiny piece of history
left to chase. Woods in 2000 and Ben Hogan
in 1953 are the only other players to win three
majors in a year, and no one has ever swept the
three American majors.
At 21, he can only hope he gets another
shot at the slam. Palmer, Nicklaus and Woods
never did.

Thrills, spills and telephone pole on Stage 16 of Tour de France

By John Leicester
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

GAP, France Two bright-yellow Tour de

France arrows attached to a telephone pole
were telling Geraint Thomas to veer sharp
right.
He rode straight into them.
Roadside spectators on the hairpin bend
both froze and scattered as the burly
Welshman barreled toward them. Braking
frantically, one shoe unclipped from his
pedals, the right-hand man for race leader
Chris Froome tried to shave off speed.
No joy.
A spectators folded plastic chair flew as
the racer for Team Sky careened into the
pole, shoulder and helmeted-head first.
Thomas bounced off it like a tossed rag doll
and disappeared over a drop-off into a dark
thicket of woods.
I was all tangled up in the bushes, he
said. A nice Frenchman pulled me out.
At least he finished Stage 16 with his
sense of humor intact. Asked if he still
remembered his name, Thomas jokingly
replied: Chris Froome.
Had it really been race leader Froome, not
Thomas, who crashed on the stages hairraising final descent in the foothills of the

means that Froome now only has four days
of climbing to get through before the
British rider sips a flute of champagne
Sunday on the Champs-Elysees.
Outwitting Peter Sagan, who took heartin-the-mouth risks on the descent, Spanish
rider Ruben Plaza Molina rode triumphantly

into the finish at Gap as the solo winner.

Crossing the line, Plaza sucked his right
thumb as a wink to his young son.

That allowed me to go down quickly, but
still carefully, Plaza said. The descent is
very, very dangerous.
Plaza and Sagan are not challengers for
the podium in Paris, which is why Froome
let them get away. They were part of a group
of two dozen riders who rode off from the
main pack, hunting for the stage win before
Froome and his challengers do battle in the
Alps after a rest day on Tuesday.
Sagan beat his heart several times as he
crossed the line 30 seconds behind Plaza.
Sagan said he copied the chest-thump from
the Leonardo DiCaprio movie The Wolf of
Wall Street. The Slovak has been a wolf on
the road, constantly hunting for wins so
far without success. This was his fifth second place at this Tour.
Thomass crash wasnt his fault. French
rider Warren Barguil tried cutting the bend
and collided with the Welshman, sending
him on to his close encounter with the telephone pole.
Barguil just went straight on, pushed me
straight off into the lamppost and down a
ditch, said Thomas. I lost my glasses as
well. They dont even make them anymore!
The Giant-Alpecin rider was apologetic.
He said he had wanted to brake but his finger
slipped.
I was very frightened, Barguil said. I
didnt do it on purpose.

FIFA vote set for Feb. 26; Blatter defies calls to go

Special Olympics open this week

LOS ANGELES The Special Olympics

World Games will bring some 6,500 athletes
from 165 countries to Los Angeles this week to
take part in 25 sports at venues across the city.
Athletes ages 8 to 71 will compete in soccer, basketball, volleyball, tennis, track,
roller skating and other sports over nine days.
First lady Michelle Obama will open the event
Saturday at the L.A. Memorial Coliseum.

ZURICH Sepp Blatter had a good day at

the office on Monday, even if a prankster tried
to spoil it by showering the FIFA president
with fake dollar bills at a news conference.
Nothing could spoil Blatters day after he
outwitted some of his FIFA opponents to earn
precious extra time as their president and enjoy
more such days in 2016.

Grand Slam in sight, Serena
Williams is not going to risk
playing World TeamTennis.
Williams originally was slated
to play for the Washington
Kastles on Monday and Tuesday.
But in a news release Monday, the
Kastles announced that Williams
would miss those matches.
The No. 1-ranked Williams
withdrew from the Swedish Open
last week, citing an injured right
elbow.
The 33-year-old American won
Wimbledon this month for her
fourth consecutive major title,
including all three in 2015. If she
wins the U.S. Open, which begins

spray of money was powerful amid

ongoing American and Swiss federal investigations of FIFA corruption, yet he regained his poise.
I just called my late mother, he
quipped on returning to the room
minutes later, and she said, Dont
worry, its just a lack of education.
Still, it made for an uneasy start
with international networks and
FIFAs own YouTube channel broadcasting the news conference live.
Where is my security? Blatter
had shouted.
The interruption provided an awkward reminder of a far more serious
incident for FIFA in May, when the
arrest of soccer and sports marketing
officials plunged the games ruling
body into its deepest crisis.
Jolted by the dual criminal investigations into bribery and money
laundering, Blatter announced four
days after being elected for a fifth
term that he would leave FIFA.
It was not only the pressure of
any authorities ... it was also the
pressure of political interference and
also the pressure of you, media, said
Blatter, who is a target of the U.S.
investigation. I had to do something very special and I did it. In
footballing terms, I kicked the ball

out of the field to stop something.

FIFAs executive committee
decided the election date and
Blatter ended weeks of uncertainty
by insisting he would not perform
one of his renowned about-turns by
in fact being a candidate.
On the 26th of February FIFA will
have a new president, Blatter said.
I cannot be the new president
because I am the old president.
The 79-year-old Blatter, who first
joined FIFA 40 years ago, has held
onto the most powerful job in world
soccer since 1998.
Prince Ali bin al-Hussein, who
lost to Blatter in May, had told The
Associated Press earlier Monday:
President Blatters resignation cannot be dragged out any longer. He
must leave now.
But while Blatter said he felt
regret about the crises, he insisted
he would not be abandoning the
presidency until a successor is elected by the 209 member associations.
The Feb. 26 date was a political
victory for Blatter over European
governing body UEFA and its supporters in other continents, who
wanted a December ballot and
thought they had a compromise
agreement on Sunday for Jan. 15.
Instead, Blatter and senior vice
president Issa Hayatou held sway
with a late tactic. They cited not
clashing with the second-tier
African Nations Championship
a tournament for little-known
home-based players hosted in

Rwanda from Jan. 16-Feb. 7.

Late-February has personal significance to Blatter. It will mark exactly 40 years since Blatters first
major duty for FIFA a development conference in Addis Ababa,
Ethiopia, that is featured in scenes
from the much-derided $27 million
movie flop United Passions.
Earlier Monday, UEFA President
Michel Platini had seemed ready to
launch his election campaign as
front-runner when his officials confirmed he has support to run from
four of the six FIFA continents.
Instead, there is an Oct. 26 deadline for would-be candidates to gain
five nominations from FIFAs 209
member associations.
Prince Ali did not commit to a
second campaign Monday, and
only former Brazil great Zico and
Liberia football federation president Musa Bility have expressed
their intention to stand.
He loves the fact that UEFA is
associated with football on a daily
basis and the thousands of matches
we organize, Platinis spokesman,
Pedro Pinto, said outside FIFA headquarters. FIFA is a more political
organization and he is a man of football. Hes not a man of politics.
In a statement Platini welcomed
the creation of a FIFA reforms task
force a second one after a 201213 version which will reconsider introducing term limits, integrity checks for senior officials and
pay details.

U.S. finished fourth at the 1999

FIFA
Under-17
World
Championship, where Landon
Donovan was selected top player.
He made his national team debut
and went on to score 17 goals in
121 international appearances and
become the first American to play
in four World Cups.
At the club level, he was the first
American to reach the European
Champions League semifinals,
with PSV Eindhoven against AC
Milan in 2005.
DaMarcus has been on the
national team forever, and as soon
as he walks in the room demands
instant respect, goalkeeper Brad
Guzan said. All the boys, they
love when hes in, obviously.
Beasley won Gold Cup titles in
2002, 05, 07 and 13 and is hoping to add a fifth this week. He did
not play in Saturdays 6-0 rout of
Cuba because of a calf injury.
Players say his energy and smile

are infectious.
Maybe not the biggest talker,
but when he has something to say,
he says it, and guys listen,
American captain Bradley said.
When he walks in the door, its a
lift for everybody. We can always
use his quality on the field, in
terms of on the left side, whether
its as a left back, as a left midfielder. His speed, his quickness
and his football he has a football brain.
A speedy midfielder for most of
his career, Beasley had not played
left back for the national team in
four years before he was inserted
there by Klinsmann for the Snow
Clasico World Cup qualifier
against Costa Rica in March
2013.
If Beasley starts at left back in
the Gold Cup, Klinsmann could
shift Fabian Johnson to right
back or move Johnson to midfield.

The last like probably four

years, I played every game like it
was my last, Beasley said. The
way I train, the way I go about the
games, my whole mindset is that I
play every one like its my last.
Klinsmann wanted Beasleys
arrival to shake up the younger
players.
Obviously, the other ones are
not stupid and know, OK, Beas is
coming back. Beas is not coming
back to sit on the bench,
Klinsmann said. So its now up to
the younger ones to prove a
point.
Beasley has a different youthful
player to think about. Could Lia
make the U.S. roster for the 2030
FIFA Under-17 Womens World
Cup?

Families face tough decisions as cost of elder care soars

By Matthew Craft
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK Doris Ranzman had

followed the expert advice, planning
ahead in case she wound up unable to
care for herself one day. But when a
nursing-home bill tops $14, 000 a
month, the best-laid plans get tossed
aside.
Even with insurance and her Social
Security check, Ranzman still had to
come up with around $4,000 every
month to cover her care in the
Amsterdam
Nursing
Home
in
Manhattan. An awful situation, said
her daughter, Sharon Goldblum.
Like others faced with the stunning
cost of elderly care in the U. S. ,
Goldblum did the math and realized
that her mother could easily outlive
her savings. So she pulled her out of
the home.
For the two-thirds of Americans over
65 who are expected to need some
long-term care, the costs are increasingly beyond reach. The median bill

accounts, according to the Employee

Benefit Research Institute. The median
balance is $104,000.
Combined with other savings and
income, that amount might provide
some retirees with all they need for
decades. But everything changes
when, for instance, an aging father
struggling with dementia requires more
help than his wife and children can
manage. Plans that looked solid on
paper are no match for their bills.
Within the first year most people
are tapped out, said Joe Caldwell,
director of long-term services at the
National Council on Aging. Middleclass families just arent prepared for
these costs.
Many who can afford it buy insurance to help pay for long-term care
years in advance, when insurers are
less likely to reject them. But even
those with insurance, like Ranzman,
come up short. Forced to improvise,
they sell the house and lean on family.
They move in with their adult children,

for a private room in a U.S. nursing

home now runs $91,000 a year, according to a report from the insurer
Genworth Financial. One year of visits
from home-health aides runs $45,760.
Goldblum estimates that she and her
mother spent at least $300,000 over
the last two years for care that insurance didnt cover.
If you have any money, youre
going to use all of that money,
Goldblum said. Just watch how fast it
goes.
How do people manage the widening
gap between their savings and the
high cost of caring for the elderly?
Medicare doesnt cover long-term
stays, so a large swath of elderly people wind up on the governments
health insurance program for the poor,
Medicaid. For those solidly in the middle class, however, the answer isnt so
simple. They have too much money to
apply for Medicaid but not enough to
cover the typical three years of care.
Some 60 percent of Americans nearing retirement those between the
ages of 55 and 64 have retirement

Sketchy claims for high-tech health fraud buster

By Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Medicare says its

computerized fraud prevention system
worked like a cybercharm last year,
identifying $454 million in problematic payments and generating a financial return for the taxpayer of $10 for
every dollar spent.
But you cant take that to the bank:
Most of the savings claimed by the
Obama administration are unlikely to
be realized, the Health and Human

A more realistic estimate, the departments watchdog said, is that $133.2

million in bogus payments may be
recovered or stopped before money
goes out. That would put the actual
return to taxpayers at about $3 per dollar spent. That return-on-investment
calculation is based on the cost of
operating Medicares high-tech Fraud
Prevention System, now in its fourth
year.

numbers is because the administration

takes credit for all problem payments
identified by the system. The inspector general doesnt dispute the bigger
number but calls it unadjusted, and
only gives credit for payments likely
to be recovered or stopped.
The higher estimate of $454 million
includes actual and projected savings
that may not be recovered, said the
inspector generals report. The lower
estimate of $133 million represents
savings that reasonably can be
expected, based on historical patterns.

Residents and members of various advocacy groups spoke to developers who have submitted project proposals regarding similar
concerns during a community meeting

Some can save money by switching to different facilities. On average, a shared room in
a nursing home runs nearly $11,000 a year
less than a private room, and a room in an
adult-family home runs cheaper still.
Still, theres not a lot of room for creativity,
said Liz Taylor, a self-employed geriatric care
manager in Lopez Island, Washington. The
amount of care you need dictates the price,
she said, and there arent that many ways
around it.

to develop a project offering 164,000 square
feet of office space, nearly 47,000 square feet

And Vincent Muzzi, owner of Serra
Convalescent Hospital, has proposed to build
a project that would contain 267,000 square
feet of office space, 32,000 feet of retail

Sal Ariganello, owner of CCM West building company who represented Muzzi at the
meeting, touted the virtue of his clients development.
We are very excited about this project, he
said.
But some members of the public were
unsettled by potential impacts of the projects,
such as the lack of a cohesive vision connecting the developments to the rest of Millbrae.
I really hope this plan would find a balance
that would really improve the quality of life

Officials conducted a national search of
more than 40 qualified candidates, but ultimately felt Moore was the best fit for the district, according to the press release.
The board believes that Dr. Moore has district experience, curriculum and educational
program skills, leadership and administrative
acumen and values that will enhance opportunities and outcomes for all of our students,
according to the report.
Moore, who comes from a family of educators, will assume her new position Aug. 1,
pending board approval.
Perspective and input from community
members who expressed interest in seeing
someone from the district promoted to the top
post was invaluable in leading to the board
landing on Moore as the most qualified candidate, according to the press release.
She has the best skills to match our needs,

Under Hogan, the district suffered a variety
of contentious periods, such as frequent
turnover of top officials, racially motivated
disputes between students, teachers expressing public dissatisfaction with their pay and a
poorly managed bond spending plan which
has left officials searching for solutions to an
$11 million deficit in their facility improvement fund.

Her ability to develop strong relationships

Marijuana industry wrestles

with pesticides and safety
By Kristen Wyatt
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

New research suggests that sleep problems actually interact with some of the disease processes involved in Alzheimers,
and that those toxic proteins in turn affect the deep sleep thats so important for memory formation.

Studies: Better sleep may be

important for Alzheimers risk
By Lauran Neergaard
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON To sleep, perchance to ... ward off Alzheimers? New

research suggests poor sleep may
increase peoples risk of Alzheimers
disease, by spurring a brain-clogging
gunk that in turn further interrupts
shut-eye.
Disrupted sleep may be one of the
missing pieces in explaining how a
hallmark of Alzheimers, a sticky protein called beta-amyloid, starts its damage long before people have trouble
with memory, researchers reported
Monday
at
the
Alzheimers
Association International Conference.
Its very clear that sleep disruption
is an underappreciated factor, said Dr.
Matthew Walker of the University of
California, Berkeley, who presented
data linking amyloid levels with peoples sleep and memory performance.
Its a new player on the scene that
increases risk of Alzheimers disease.

Sleep problems are treatable and a

key next question is whether improving sleep can make a difference in protecting seniors brains.
Sleep is a modifiable factor. Its a
new treatment target, Walker said.
Enough sleep is important for good
health generally seven to eight
hours a night are recommended for
adults. When it comes to the brain, scientists have long known that people
who dont get enough have trouble
learning and focusing. And anyone
whos cared for someone with dementia
knows the nightly wandering and other
sleep disturbances that patients often
suffer, long thought to be a consequence of the dying brain cells.
The new research suggests that sleep
problems actually interact with some
of the disease processes involved in
Alzheimers, and that those toxic proteins in turn affect the deep sleep thats
so important for memory formation.
It may be a vicious cycle, said Dr.
Miroslaw Mackiewicz of the National

Institute on Aging, who wasnt part of

the new work.
Walkers team gave PET scans to 26
cognitively healthy volunteers in their
70s to measure build-up of that gunky
amyloid. They were given words to
memorize, and their brain waves were
measured as they slept overnight.
The more amyloid people harbored in
a particular brain region, the less deep
sleep they got and the more they forgot overnight, Walker said. Their memories werent transferred properly from
the brains short-term memory bank
into longer-term storage.
Whats the risk over time? Two sleep
studies tracked nearly 6,000 people
over five years, and found those who
had poor sleep quality they tossed
and turned and had a hard time falling
asleep were more likely to develop
mild cognitive impairment, early
memory problems that sometimes lead
to Alzheimers, said Dr. Kristine Yaffe
of the University of California, San
Francisco.

DENVER Microscopic bugs and mildew can destroy a

marijuana operation faster than any police raid. And because
the crop has been illegal for so long, neither growers nor scientists have any reliable research to help fight the infestations.
As legal marijuana moves from basements and backwoods
to warehouses and commercial fields, the mold and spider
mites that once ruined only a few plants at a time can now
quickly create a multimillion-dollar crisis for growers. Some
are turning to industrial-strength chemicals, raising concerns about safety.
Pesticides and herbicides are regulated by the federal government, which still regards almost all marijuana as an illicit crop, so theres no roadmap to help pot farmers. Chemists
and horticulturalists cant offer much assistance either. They
sometimes disagree about how to combat the problem, largely because the plant is used in many different ways
smoked, eaten and sometimes rubbed on the skin.
We have an industry thats been illegal for so many years
that theres no research. Theres no guidelines. Theres nothing, said Frank Conrad, lab director for Colorado Green Lab,
a pot-testing lab in Denver.
In states that regulate marijuana, officials are just starting
to draft rules governing safe levels of chemicals. So far, there
have been no reports of any human illness traced to chemicals used on marijuana, but worries persist.
The city of Denver this spring quarantined tens of thousands of marijuana plants at 11 growing facilities after health
inspectors suspected use of unauthorized pesticides.

recently reaffirmed its opinion the districts duties could be absorbed by the
county.
Just hours before approving the new
code, Tom Mattusch, president of the
Board of Commissioners, vowed
improvement to LAFCo while stressing that the district needed some time
to right its ways. Newly elected
Mattusch became president mid-term
when Commissioner Sabrina Brennan
stepped down as president shortly after
Interim General Manager Glen Lazof
accused her of behaving inappropriately toward staff.
Lazof drafted the districts Policy on
Elected Officials Conduct and
Communication with District Staff
that was approved 4-1, with Brennan
opposing, June 17. Yet concerned and
unsatisfied, Brennan proposed the
board model a Code of Ethics and
Values after the city of Santa Claras
policy.
Commissioners and Lazof described
the new policy as less harsh and having a different tone. For example, the
first rendition contained sections prohibiting commissioners from publicly
criticizing individual employees, disrupting staff from their job or attempting to influence staff in the award of
contracts. The code also had a section
on enforcement, highlighting the
process by which an elected official
could be removed from office.
The new code had affirmative sec-

tions whereby commissioners vow to

be ethical by acting with moral
courage, act professional by approaching duties with a positive attitude, be
fiscally responsible and work progressively by promoting thoughtful innovation.
Commissioners Nicole David and
Robert Bernardo said they would have
supported either code and ultimately,
were just pleased to have something
on the books.
I hope that the new code of ethics
will help the board to avoid potential
conflicts but, most of all, it will be up
to the commissioners to make a conscious effort to demonstrate respectful
behavior at all times with each other
and staff, David said. I think that
[the two versions] werent mutually
exclusive and I would have been open
to having both. I think theyre both
saying the same thing, in a different
language and for me, the main part is
really the commissioners being more
conscious and aware of their interactions.
Brennan said she was concerned by
the initial code and instead chose to
suggest a code modeled after the city of
Santa Claras, which was developed by
a committee composed of three elected
officials, nine city commissioners,
two community members, as well as
the city manager and city attorney.
Brennan said she voted against
staffs recommended code because it
appeared to be a scare tactic that was
being put forth to stifle board communications. I thought we could do
better.
She also noted how the district has
never put together a commissioner

handbook to provide direction as well

as guidance, and felt this code of ethics
could be a starting point.
While Brennan said the code of
ethics was not a direct response to any
particular recommendation made by
the grand jury, Mattusch said he hopes
the new policy will continue to ensure
the district is headed in a positive
direction.
Bernardo said he was pleased the
board unanimously approved the code,
particularly as it has more important
things to worry about.
Its just such a waste of time to try
and battle out something that should
be passed and all youre arguing about
is the finer points which is just an inch
here and an inch there. Its really not a
big deal, the bigger picture is that you
do pass a code of ethics, Bernardo
said.
Mattusch agreed the board has far
larger concerns to address if its going
to stabilize itself and avoid dissolution.
Were going to basically be under a
microscope for the next year and a
half, to see where we can substantially
produce and improve. Theres a decade
and a half of wrongdoing on the part of
the [former] general manager and commission, Mattusch said adding
LAFCo and those considering dissolution are not going to give us a second
chance after this. If we cant produce
substantial change and improvements,
than you have to ask, do we deserve to
exist?

The maps could be used for a variety

of reasons including for search and rescue crews, she said.
The two Measure A grants are the
first of six the parks department has
prioritized for a total of $2.6 million
over the next two years.
Student Conservation Association
crews will provide close to 7,000 volunteer hours to help restore about
2,100 linear feet of trails through the
$341,000 conservation crew grant.
With the $130,000 GIS grant, students will collect data on trails, trail
condition mapping and invasive
species monitoring and mapping to be
managed and organized on a San Mateo
County Geodatabase, according to a
report by Finley to the Board of
Supervisors.
The crews will survey and report on
32 miles of trails, according to the
report.
The GIS work will become an
important tool for the parks department to use in park planning for conservation and protection of natural
resources, according to the report.
The students will gain valuable tech-

nical skills through the program,

Finley said.
The work the students do will be
based on task orders related to habitat
restoration or facility improvement
work in both north and south county
parks.
The parks department operates 20
separate parks, encompassing 17,071
acres, and 190 miles of county and
local trails, including three regional
trails. Parks are located throughout the
county and represent a wide variety of
natural settings including a coastside
marine reserve, a Bayside recreational
area, coastal mountain woodland areas
and urban sites, according to the
departments website.
Measure A is a voter-approved sales
tax that generates about $80 million
annually.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) The more places you
visit, the more people you will encounter who can
help you in your quest for success. Share your ideas
if you want to gain allies. Romance is highlighted.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Dont miss an opportunity
to promote your skills. Networking will result in
aid from an unlikely source. Dont be afraid to say
whats on your mind.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Emotional turbulence
will leave you confused. Dont give in to pressure
or manipulation. Take a break to sort through your
feelings and make a practical decision.

MONDAYS PUZZLE SOLVED

Each row and each column must contain the

numbers 1 through 6 without repeating.
The numbers within the heavily outlined boxes,
called cages, must combine using the given operation
(in any order) to produce the target numbers in the
top-left corners.
Freebies: Fill in single-box cages with the number in
the top-left corner.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Dont be afraid to say

no if something doesnt feel right, no matter who is
doing the asking. Something that works for someone
else wont bring you the same result.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) An outside influence
will change your perspective. Get out and do
something that inspires you. Dont stay at home
hoping your big break will come to you. Take charge
and make it happen.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) Before you
make a life-altering decision, make sure you have
all the facts. A sudden change of heart will make
it difficult to follow through with a plan based on
someone elses assertions.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) A few tweaks

to a project will make it a viable moneymaker. By

investigating a similar product or service, you will
discover a new marketing technique.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Being
confrontational or aggressive will not get you ahead.
If you feel too anxious to deal with others, take
time to sort out your feelings before you say or do
something youll regret.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Put some time aside
for romance. A personal relationship will suffer if you
become too demanding or insist on having your own
way. Allow for more give-and-take.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) Maintain your selfrespect and dont put up with people who let you
down regularly. Your friendship is too valuable to be

wasted on those who take without giving back.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Dont expect others to
meet your expectations. Find out what needs to be
done and do it. Preparation will lead to a successful
outcome and the rewards you deserve.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You can outperform
an opponent if you do your research. You will attract
assistance if you can offer legitimate solutions. Share
your plan and focus on the nish line.

Jon Stewart heads into home stretch at Daily Show

By David Bauder
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK Jon Stewart enters the home

stretch of his 16 years on Comedy Centrals
The Daily Show on Monday, with 12 more
nights of jokes at the expense of those who
make and report the news before he signs off
for good on Aug. 6.
Stewarts exit, the latest in a year of
upheaval in late-night television, will be felt
most acutely over the next 15 months as the
U.S. approaches its first presidential election
since 1996 without his comic take.
Attesting to Stewarts cultural import,
President Barack Obama is booked for his seventh appearance on the show Tuesday.
Stewart, who started on The Daily Show
in 1999, cited restlessness in announcing his
exit last February. During a recent appearance
on The Daily Show, film director Judd
Apatow said he sensed that feeling even
before the announcement when he interviewed
Stewart by phone for a just-released book.

I think it was that one

moment when you were
saying, Oh, God, Im out
of gas. What am I going to
do? Apatow said to
Stewarts laughter.
When Seth MacFarlane
mentioned that he was
feeling burned out, Stewart
Jon Stewart told him, Let me tell you
my solution. Quit.
An audience member shouted out, We love
you!
Thats not love, Stewart shot back. Love is
taking soup to a sick friend. Love is not saying, do more shows! Entertain me! he said.
Adam Lowitt, an executive producer on The
Daily Show, said hes had no sense his boss
is second-guessing his decision.
Even around the office, he seems to be relishing the place that hes in right now and taking in every aspect of the show and the people
that work there, Lowitt said. Hes aware that
time is winding down. Regret is not there.

Still, as Stewart stifled laughter before

delivering a comic lecture directed at New
Jersey Gov. Chris Christie on the show last
month, he couldnt resist the aside, Im
going to miss this a little bit.
Stewart was animated, almost gleeful, on the
day Donald Trump announced his candidacy for
president. The jokes poured out sometimes
a facial expression or exaggerated New Yawk
accent was all that was needed as Stewart
said Trump was putting him in a comedy hospice with injections of straight morphine.
Something about Trump is irresistible, even
for retired comics. David Letterman resurfaced at
a Steve Martin appearance in Texas earlier this
month just to deliver a Top Ten list about Trump.
The day of Trumps announcement was one
of those special times in the office that Lowitt
said hell always remember.
Every moment was just better than the
rest, he said. Everyone was just beaming
with excitement. That is something that I will
definitely miss knowing that this material
is out there and the greatest performer is about

to deliver on that in six hours.

Stewarts value was evident for a different
reason after the Charlestown church massacre.
He opened the show by admitting he had no
jokes, then delivered an impassioned monologue on his frustration about the lack of will
in combatting mass shootings. With
Lettermans retirement, Stewart was the only
person in late-night TV with the gravitas to
pull that off.
As the days wind down for Stewart, the show
has done a handful of self-deprecatory clip
packages Stewart breaking into song, complaining about his health or admitting to interview subjects that he hadnt read the book or
seen the movie the guest was there to promote.
I read the back cover, he explained meekly to author David Halberstam.
Lettermans recent leave-taking was a several-week build-up of visits from old friends
leading to a pitch-perfect goodbye. The final
episode of The Colbert Report on Comedy
Central was predictably surreal and smart,
although it could have used an editor.

Bonding time for Obama,

daughters in New York City
By Nancy Benac
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK Its inevitable: At some point, teenage kids just

arent that into their parents anymore.
Parent Barack Obama, who happens to be president, set out to
combat that trend by hanging out with his teenage girls on a New
York overnighter.
The trio, plus some of the girls friends, seemed intent on
packing a lot into their 24 hours together in the city.
But no one was out of the hotel door too early on a rainy
Saturday morning after zigzagging around Manhattan in dads
motorcade into the wee hours on Friday night.
They finally emerged about 11:30 a.m., as the sun broke
though, for a quickie stroll through Central Park, joined by the
presidents sister, Maya Soetoro-Ng and her husband, Konrad
Ng. Next it was lunch in Gramercy Park at Upland, featuring
California-inspired cuisine.
Then they were off to a matinee of Hamilton, the hit hip-hop
Broadway musical about the Founding Fathers.
The Obamas had lingered past 11 p.m. over dinner at an Italian
place in Greenwich Village on Friday and took an after-hours tour
of the Whitney Museum that lasted until midnight.
A New York weekend was Obamas idea. He often laments that
his girls are less interested in spending time with him now that
they are older. But the concept gets a little complicated, of
course, when dad is the president.
Obamas every move requires massive security precautions
that tie the bustling streets of New York in knots, and he can
attract throngs of onlookers in an instant.
The 20-minute walk in Central Park prompted pedicabs, bikers, skaters, horse-drawn carriages and walkers to stop cold as
people whipped out cellphone cameras to capture the moment.
Hearty cheers went up from the street corner late Friday as the
Obamas left Carbone, where a crowd had massed when word
spread that Obama was eating there.
This is not the ideal environment for father-daughter bonding.
But after more than 6 1/2 years in the White House fishbowl,
Malia, 17, and Sasha, 14, have adjusted to all the attention and
they know how to carry on.
Sasha and two girlfriends hopped aboard Air Force One for the
trip to New York without even a hint that they had noticed the
photographers and TV cameras pointed in their direction Friday.
Malia was there to meet them in New York. She has been
interning on the set of HBOs Girls this summer.
First lady Michelle Obama, who sat this trip out, already had
her own bonding time with the girls when she took them along
on an official trip to England and Italy last month. Shes already
seen Hamilton, anyway.
Both Obamas have been growing increasingly sentimental as
they watch the little girls who entered the White House in 2009
grow into young women.
Theyre hitting the age where they still love me, but they
think Im completely boring. And so theyll come in, pat me on
the head, talk to me for 10 minutes, and then theyre gone all
weekend, the president told an interview last month. They
break my heart.
Beyond New Yorks innate appeal, Obamas visit to the city
also may have given the president a chance to give more thought
to where the family will land when they leave the White House in
January 2017. New York is among the cities that get the most
speculation.
Malia is entering her senior year in high school and has been
making the rounds of prospective colleges. She has visited a
number of New York schools as she tries to figure out where to
study after she graduates. New York University, Barnard College
and her fathers alma mater, Columbia University, have all been
in the mix.
