Providers grapple with new home care law

Workers struggling to get background checks in time for July deadline
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

A consumer protection law

enacted in California this year to
require home care businesses to be
licensed and their workers undertake extensive background checks
has had unintended consequences,
according to local providers.

The Home Care Services

Consumer Protection Act went
into effect Jan. 1. It requires all
companies that provide non-medical care to seniors in their homes
to be licensed by the states
Department of Social Services by
July 1.
But the worker requirements
have caused a shortage of home

care aides in the area because it

takes the state up to three weeks to
process the applications or some
cant pass the background checks.
For a business like Synergy
Home Care of San Mateo, it means
many of their longtime workers
are unable to care for the seniors
theyve worked with for years
because of the strict background

check requirements.
That means someone who is 60
and worked in the field for decades
can fail a background check if
something shows up from when
they were 18 years old, said
Synergys Saili Gosula.
The cost for the companys
license is $5,000 and the background checks are about $100 per

worker, she said. Synergy paid the

costs for the background checks
for its employees because many
home care aides live paycheck to
paycheck, she said.
That can amount to a cost of
$10, 000 for a company who
employs 100 aides, she said.

Ushering in Americans
First naturalization ceremony held at San Mateo library
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Nearly 15 years after taking her

first steps on American soil,
Sowmya Padmanabhan
still
remembers the overwhelming sensation of finally feeling liberated
and most importantly, safe.
As a woman who grew up in
India, Padmanabhan said moving
to the United States afforded her
opportunities she couldnt have
imagined shes living her
American dream. She earned a masters degree in computer science,

she has a career in tech working as

a project manager for Googles
Android, shes raising a daughter
and, as if she wasnt busy enough,
shes simultaneously pursuing her
passion as a professional actor at a
local theater. And as of Friday, the
Redwood City resident is now officially an American.
I always wanted to be a citizen
of this country, Padmanabhan
said. Im very passionate about
the things I want to do with my
life and I felt this country gives me
the opportunities to really pursue
whatever I want.

Aid kit effort aims to help refugees

Locals collect, donate sunscreen, hats, shoes to benefit Syrians in Greece
By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Locals looking to reduce the burden on

Syrian refugees will donate hundreds of
pounds of supplies designed to help those
trapped in Greece survive the brutal heat during the summer.
Natalie Feulner, a San Mateo native, and
her colleague Lily Kimbel, founded the
Allied Aid foundation through which they
offer charity to those in need across the
globe.
Under their most recent initiative,
Feulner, Kimbel and others plan to spend
the weekend packing hundreds of kits containing hats, sunscreen and flip-flops which
will be donated Friday, July 1, to Syrian
refugees held in Greek camps.
Feulner, 28, said she hopes the kits will
be useful in helping families survive the
hours they spend, often under direct sunlight, waiting to receive food and other
assistance.
There are thousands of people living in
Greece, and they have lost everything from
their homes to their sense of identity, she
said. The least we can do is give them a pair
of shoes and a hat.
Between goods stored at Feulners home
in San Mateo, a storage facility in New York
and another overseas, she said she believes
the organization will be able to deliver as
many as 800 kits to those in need.
Thousands of Syrian natives have fled
their home country to escape an ongoing

she was called to giving

Natalie Feulner desperate
refugees survived under
during a recent trip to Greece.
I was tired of sitting on the couch and
feeling like I couldnt help, she said. I got
consumed by the bad news, and I wanted to
be a helper. I wanted to find a way to make
the situation better.
She said her trip helped her understand any
aid which could be provided was necessary
and greatly appreciated by those in need.
The considerable demand is compounded by
the financial strife Greece has suffered over
recent years, which limits the ability of the
host country to contribute to aiding the
refugees.
They are stuck in a country that can barely sustain its own people, said Feulner.
Amidst the wealth of resources in San
Mateo County, Feulner said it is easy to take
for granted the amenities readily available,
and forget the difference that can be made
abroad by offering a helping hand to less
fortunate communities.
One of the greatest assets Americans
enjoy is the chance to attain a passport,

Obituary

Bruce Robert Wade

(1938-2016)
Bruce Robert Wade passed away on June 5, 2016, at 77 years of age. He was born in
San Mateo, California to Howard B. Wade, Jr. and Helen Noyes Jones. Bruce attended
Baywood Grammar School and Borel Middle School, before graduating from San Mateo
High School in 1957. Upon graduation, he entered the U.S. Navy, serving aboard the
USS Salisbury Sound. He recalled those years with fondness. He married Hally Baer
and had two children, Laura Anne and Brian Robert. In 1992 he married Judi Walcom.
Bruce retired from Sears Roebuck after 33 years of service as an appliance technician,
making many good friends during his enjoyable career. Bruce enjoyed bowling with his
brother, Howard, and was actively involved in Boy Scout Troop 353 and the Fiesta Gardens
Homeowners Association. Upon retirement, he and Judi fullled a dream and moved to
beautiful Grass Valley, where he enjoyed gardening (planting 27 fruit trees!) volunteering
at Empire Mine State Historic Park and Interfaith Food Ministry, square dancing with the
Goldancers and camping. He was a member of Twin Cities Church.
Bruce was preceded in death by his parents, Howard B. Wade, Jr. and Helen Noyes
Jones, brother, Howard B. Wade III (Louise,) sister, Barbara Louise Darm (Robert,)
nephew, Robert Darm and numerous aunts and an uncle. He is survived by his wife Judi
Walcolm-Wade, daughter Laura Wade Pearson (David), son, Brian Wade; stepson Daniel
Schmitz; step daughters, Julie Marquart and Suzy Schmitz; nephews Dennis Wade, and
David Darm, nieces, Pamela Wade, Connie Wade and Althea Brown (Kurt,) great niece,
Meghan Greer (Troy) and grand niece, Ellie Greer.
Bruce had a ready smile and a friendly greeting for each passerby and was always ready
to lend a hand. He had a delightful sense of humor, and loved to make people laugh. He
will truly be missed by many. At his request, there will not be a memorial service, but the
family will celebrate his life at a later date.
Memorial contributions can be made in his memory to Interfaith Food Ministry.org
(440 Henderson Street, Grass Valley, CA 95945.)

can be used to help those in need, she said.

I think that often we take for granted the
ability we have to travel and help, she said.
It is incredibly powerful.
The donation Feulner is planning is the
second of its kind, as she and her associates
gave during a prior trip baby carriers to
refugees in Greece as well. The visit to
Athens was where she met Kimbel, who has
become her partner in future giving missions.
Though the kits, comprised of materials
worth approximately $8, are relatively simple and affordable, Feulner said they can
mean much more to people who face losing
everything.
Giving a person sunscreen can be useful in
protecting them against the overwhelming
summer heat in Greece, but may also double
as a chance to help a parent provide for their
child, potentially an unfamiliar opportunity for those struggling to survive.
We can get those things relatively inexpensively here. But their independence has
been stripped away there, and they have to
ask for everything, she said. Sunscreen
gives them back a sense of independence
and helps them care for their family a little
bit more.

A man found guilty of stabbing a coworker to death outside a Burlingame office building last July was sentenced to 46 years to
life in state prison Friday, according to the
San Mateo County District Attorneys
Office.
Rodney ONeil Williams, a 29-year-old
San Francisco man, was arrested by the U.S.
Marshals Service and Sacramento police at a
Sacramento residence after a more than twoweek investigation. He stabbed Neil Lewis
during a fight outside an office complex on
the 1800 block of Gilbreth Road just before
6 p.m. July 7, 2015.
He was found guilty in March of second
degree murder by a jury.
Williams and Lewis worked together as
hikers, or contractors who would move
rental cars from various lots for the Hertz

Rental Car company at

the
San

International Airport.
The men had apparently been dropped off to
pick up a rental car near

minutes later, police said.

SACRAMENTO Counties will get another $270 million for jail construction under the budget approved by
California lawmakers this week, even
though opponents say the money could
be better spent on rehabilitation programs.
The state has provided $2.2 billion to
build jails since 2007, including $1 billion since California began keeping
lower-level offenders in county lockups
instead of state prisons in 2011.
Gov. Jerry Browns proposal for an
Jerry Brown
additional quarter-billion dollars this
year was rejected by Assembly and Senate budget committees and the Legislative Analysts Office, which said the
Democratic governor failed to show the need for more construction money.
Theres gonna be an end to the jail construction binge
and we ought to look at more cost-effective ways of reducing recidivism and reducing crime, said Sen. Jim Beall, DSan Jose, who voted to remove the funding.
But its back in the final budget at the insistence of the
governor and county governments that say they need the
construction money to update antiquated jails.

Orlando United: Shared grief

and loss brings a city together
By Jason Dearen
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ORLANDO, Fla. Orlando Strong

banners hung from porches and
bridges, hotel workers wore purple Tshirts with Orlando United on them
and shock gave way to grief in this
tourist city as more families buried
their loved ones Friday.
Some longtime residents say they
have been moved by how the nightclub
massacre that left 49 club-goers dead
has brought the city together.
I thought this was a very cold city,
and now I know its a warm city, said
Monica Roggiero, 49, before she
walked into the funeral of her co-worker Anthony Luis Laureano Disla. I
thought because of the tourism that no
one stayed here that long. Its amazed

me how our community has gotten so

close.
Pallbearers loaded Dislas body into
a white hearse. A procession of dozens
of cars accompanied the casket, and
Disla was buried at a downtown Orlando
cemetery under a blue tarp surrounded
by flowers. Mourners wore T-shirts

Acting Police Chief Paul Figueroa is
the third chief to be replaced in nine days

PALO ALTO After a jury convicted a California man of

misdemeanor vehicular manslaughter in a fatal drunken
driving crash, Judge Aaron Persky sentenced him to six months in jail and
ordered him to undergo random alcohol
testing.
The judge sentenced Frank Guerrero to
three years in prison for robbing another
man. In both cases, Persky followed the
sentencing recommendation of the Santa
Clara County Probation Department. An
Aaron Persky Associated Press review of his rulings
shows that Persky has adhered to the
same practice in every trial where the probation office made
a recommendation since he began presiding over a Palo
Alto criminal court in 2015.
That includes the sexual assault conviction of former
Stanford University swimmer Brock Turner, who got six
months in jail and was ordered to register as a sex offender
for life. Prosecutors had sought a six-year sentence.
The light sentence given to Turner, and Perskys reasoning for it, touched off intense debate over whether he handled the case properly and drew widespread calls for the
judges removal.
On Tuesday, the local district attorney blocked Persky
from hearing a new sexual assault case and said he is considering blocking all sexual assault cases that get assigned
to Perskys court.

Prosecutor: PG&E ignored

regulations to cut costs
By Sudhin Thanawala
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO Pacific Gas & Electric Co. ignored

pipeline safety regulations to cut costs and tried to cover up
its illegal practices by misleading federal officials investigating a deadly explosion of one of its natural gas
pipelines in San Bruno, a prosecutor said Friday as a criminal trial against the utility giant got underway.
PG&E knew exactly what to do to comply with regulations but didnt do it, Assistant U.S. Attorney Hallie
Hoffman said in her opening statement.
Instead, it chose a cheaper method that did not ensure the
safety of pipelines running through high-consequence
areas, Hoffman said.
PG&E attorney Steven Bauer said the companys employees did what they could in the face of ambiguous regulations
they struggled to understand.
The evidence is going to show good, qualified people
coming into work every day and doing the best they can
under the circumstances they are in, he said.
A PG&E natural gas pipeline exploded in the city of San
Bruno six years ago, sending a giant plume of fire into the
air. The blast killed eight people and destroyed 38 homes.
During the investigation that followed, prosecutors say the
San Francisco-based utility misled federal officials about
how it was identifying high-risk pipelines.
The standard the company used violated safety regulations and led to a failure to classify the San Bruno pipeline
and other similar pipelines as high risk, prosecutors said in
a 2014 indictment.
Hoffman said the company did not subject the pipelines
to appropriate testing, choosing a cheaper method.
Bauer said the companys engineers did not think the
pipelines posed a safety risk. The company also did not
intend to mislead investigators, he said. It inadvertently
sent them a draft policy about its standard for identifying
high risk pipes, not one the company was actually following, he said.
PG&E has pleaded not guilty to one count of obstruction
and multiple charges that it violated pipeline safety regulations by, for example, ignoring errors in its records about
pipelines. It faces a $562 million fine if convicted.
Family members of blast victims along with San Bruno
officials were in the courtroom during Fridays opening
statements.
Bauer cautioned jurors not to let the 2010 explosion
overwhelm their evaluation of the case, saying the trial
was not about determining compensation for the blast victims or determining future pipeline regulations.
Investigators have blamed the September 2010 blast in
part on poor PG&E record-keeping that was based on
incomplete and inaccurate pipeline information. California
regulators fined the company $1.6 billion for the blast last
year.

Lawsuits may offer

fodder for Trump,

Donald Trump speaks at a campaign rally at Gilley's in Dallas, Texas

Trump battleground plan relies

on skeptical Republican leaders
By Thomas Beaumont
and Steve Peoples
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DES MOINES, Iowa His campaign

roiled by infighting and Republican
revolt, Donald Trump is working to
address a battleground state staffing
shortage that highlights his reliance
on a skeptical GOP establishment.
The New York billionaire has slowly
begun to add paid staff in a handful of
swing states Wisconsin and Iowa,
among them even as campaign officials concede the presumptive presidential nominee has little desire or
capacity to construct the kind of massive national operation that has come
to define modern-day White House campaigns. Trump plans instead to depend
upon the national Republican Party to
lead state-based efforts on his behalf,
while Democrat Hillary Clinton has
had an army of staff dedicated specifically to her campaign in general election battlegrounds for months.
It would be disingenuous and wrong-

headed to take a playbook that has

been used over and over again, said
Trump senior aide Karen Giorno, in
charge of an 11-state Southeastern bloc
including battlegrounds Florida, North
Carolina and Virginia. We are creating
the playbook.
The unconventional
approach
reflects Trumps disdain for traditional
Republican campaign practices and
inclination to implement businesslike
decision-making. It also carries substantial risk.
If, for instance, Trump is lagging
Clinton badly in polls come early fall,
there is nothing to stop the RNC from
cutting its losses and focusing instead
on saving Republican control of the
Senate or other competitive contests
also on the ballot this November. Beth
Myers, who managed 2012 presidential nominee Mitt Romneys campaign, said White House candidates
have unique needs that a broader-brush
approach cannot always meet.
The presidential campaign is going
to want to have someone on the ground

whose interest is 100 percent Donald J.

Trump, said Myers, who is not
involved in the 2016 Trump or RNC
efforts. Most campaigns by June
would have that person in place in key
states.
Trump is largely outsourcing whats
typically called a campaigns ground
game, which includes the labor-intensive jobs of identifying and contacting
potential supporters. Ed Brookover,
recently tapped to serve as the Trumps
liaison to the RNC, says the campaign
is making progress on adding its own
staff in key states.
The campaign estimates it currently
has about 30 paid staff on the ground
across the country.
There are some holes, Brookover
said. There are fewer holes than there
were.
Specifically, Trump has added at least
one paid staffer in both Wisconsin and
Iowa in recent days, targeting two
Midwestern states where he hopes to
reverse Democrats winning streaks in
the November general election.

Sanders, yet to concede, says hell work for Trumps defeat

By Ken Thomas
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BURLINGTON, Vt. Pressing his

political revolution to turn its attention to defeating Donald Trump,
Democratic presidential candidate
Bernie Sanders said he will work with
Hillary Clinton to transform the
Democratic Party itself and create the
America that we know we can
become.
Sanders spoke Thursday night in a
livestream address to political supporters two days after the final primary

election of the nomination race. The

major task they now
face is to make certain the presumptive
Republican
nominee loses in
November, he said,
adding that he plans
to begin his role in
Bernie Sanders that process in a
very short period of time.
But defeating Donald Trump cannot
be our only goal, Sanders said, pointing to his 1,900 delegates at next
months
Democratic
National

Convention in Philadelphia. We must

continue our grassroots efforts to create the America that we know we can
become.
On Friday, Sanders campaign manager Jeff Weaver said a tremendous burden is falling on Clinton to demonstrate that she has heard the voices of
the young people who powered
Sanders effort. Weaver said the
Sanders team is in contact with the
Clinton campaign daily as the two
sides work to resolve differences.
Yet when asked on MSNBC whether
Sanders is still running for president,
Weaver said repeatedly, Yes he is.

SAN DIEGO The presidential campaigns of Hillary

Clinton and Donald Trump are both trying to prevent the
release of videos that are critical to legal
cases involving the candidates.
Trumps lawyers are intensifying
efforts to stop the release of video of the
presumptive Republican presidential
nominee testifying under oath in a fraud
lawsuit about the now-defunct Trump
University. They told a federal judge in
San Diego Wednesday that the video could
Hillary Clinton be used by the media and Trumps opponents during the campaign.
Lawyers for a top Clinton aide used similar arguments to persuade another judge to keep video depositions sealed in a lawsuit about the likely Democratic nominees use of a private
email server while she was Americas top diplomat.
While the arguments are similar, judges may treat them differently.
In the Clinton case, a federal judge in the District of
Columbia ruled last month that transcripts of all depositions
be made public but that audio and video be sealed.
In Trumps case in San Diego, U.S. District Judge Gonzalo
Curiel a target of Trumps intense, enduring scorn hasnt
decided how much to release and whether it should include audio
and video.
Late Wednesday, Trump lawyer Daniel Petrocelli expanded
on why the videos should stay private, saying they could fuel
a media frenzy. His seven-page filing raises no objection to
releasing transcripts.
Owing to the danger that a video may create in eliciting bias
on the part of its viewer, the Court has a duty to prevent their
disclosure because they can taint the jury pool. Undoubtedly,
these videos also will be used by the media and others in connection with the presidential campaign, he wrote.
The outcome may shape attack ads on issues that have
dogged both candidates. John Geer, a political science professor at Vanderbilt University who studies attack ads in presidential campaigns, said video is great stuff to tarnish opponents.
It helps to make the case by having not only the words but
the person actually saying them, Geer said. Its not just the
message, its the messenger. ... Sometimes the transcripts will
be sterile. You cant detect sarcasm. The body language makes
a difference.

President heads west to

highlight national parks
By Darlene Superville
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON After an emotionally trying week, President

Barack Obama is heading west to
celebrate the raw beauty of
Americas national parks as the
system nears its 100th birthday,
and highlight challenges over the
next 100 years, including climate
change and a shortage of money
from Congress.
Obama was taking his wife and
daughters on a Fathers Day weekend getaway to Carlsbad Caverns
National Park in New Mexico and
Yosemite National Park in
California.
The family vacation will give
Obama the opportunity to recap his
record on preserving open spaces
and promote administration initiatives aimed at boosting tourism at
the more than 400 national and
other parks, monuments, battlefields and other sites in the system,
including the White House.
Officials say theres an economic
case for supporting the sites: They
sustain hundreds of thousands of
jobs while visitors pump billions
of dollars into surrounding
economies.

The Interior Department said in a

report Friday that more than 305
million people visited national
parks last year. They spent $16.9
billion in nearby communities.
I want to make sure that the
American people are able to enjoy
the incredible national parks, the
incredible beauty, the mountains,
the oceans that have been one of
the greatest gifts that weve ever
received, Obama said in a
Facebook video about the trip.
And I want to make sure that the
whole world is able to pass on to
future generations the God-given
beauty of this planet.
Obama has protected more than
265 million acres of public lands
and waters from development,
more than any other president, the
White House said. Environmental
and advocacy groups applaud what
Obama has done so far, but have
been urging him to exercise his
authority under a 1906 law to put
even more public spaces off limits
before he his term ends in January.
Some members of Congress
accuse Obama of overreach every
time he uses that authority to create
a national monument without their
input.
Congressional objections aside,

Study: Up to 1 in 5 trauma victims may die unnecessarily

By Lauran Neergaard
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Up to 1 in 5
deaths from car crashes, gunshots
or other injuries might be prevented with better, quicker trauma care
that doesnt depend so much on
where you live, according to government advisers advice that
takes on new urgency amid the
increasing threat of mass casualties
like the massacre in Orlando.
The Orlando shooting happened
just blocks from a major trauma
care hospital, an accident of geography that undoubtedly saved lives.
But Fridays call to action found
swaths of the country dont have
fast access to top care, and urges a
national trauma system that puts

the militarys battlefield expertise

to work at home.
The ultimate goal: Zero preventable deaths after injury, and minimizing disability among survivors,
said the
National
Academies
of
Sciences,
Engineering and Medicine. It called
on the White House to lead that
effort.
Today, theres no way to be sure
the current best trauma care is
going to reach you no matter where
you are, warned Dr. Donald
Berwick of the Institute for
HealthCare Improvement, who
chaired the NAS committee. The
meter is running on these preventable deaths.
The report found a patchwork of
care, from disjointed systems of
first responders to death rates that

vary twofold between the nations

best and worst trauma centers.
Yet the biggest opportunity to
save lives comes before anyone
reaches a trauma center: About half
of deaths occur at the scene of the
injury or enroute to the hospital
and the military has proven that
both bystanders and well-trained
emergency medical services can
make a big difference.
The answers always been to
drive faster or fly faster. Were
almost at the limit of that. Minutes
really do count in these critically
ill patients. But we can do things to
stop bleeding, resuscitate better,

Syria memo shakes up

Washington, D.C., but
unlikely to shift policy
By Bradley Klapper
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON State Department officials shook up

Americas generally obedient diplomatic establishment
this week with an internal memo urging U.S. military
action against Syrias government with the goal of pressing President Bashar Assad to accept a cease-fire and gaining the upper hand on him in future talks on a political transition.
Reasons abound for why an intervention is improbable,
not least the vague military objective and risks for U.S.
service personnel. Most significant, President Barack
Obama is opposed.
Even the diplomats who signed the dissent channel
cable arent calling for U.S. forces to push Assad out of
power immediately or make him surrender territory to opposition groups more typical goals for military campaigns. Instead, they say targeted U.S. attacks could
increase leverage over the Syrian leader in diplomatic negotiations that have repeatedly failed so far.
Intervening would plunge Washington into an unpredictable and deadly conflict. The Syrian opposition
includes scores of rebel formations jostling among rival
ethnic groups and U.S.-designated terrorist organizations
such as the Islamic State. Russias air force, Iranian troops
and paramilitary units are fighting alongside Assad, crowding the skies and the battlefield.
And American priorities are elsewhere. Despite calling on
Assad to step aside five years ago, Obama is focused on
defeating the Islamic State in Syria and not regime change.
His administration wants to preserve Syrias state and army
for a future transition government that could restore order
and help tackle IS. It wants Russia and Iran to help in that
effort.
Here is a look at what frustrated State Department officials
called for and why a policy shift is unlikely:

WHITE HOUSE RESISTANCE

The now classified cable was transmitted through an official channel for dissenting views. Fifty-one mostly midlevel department officials who work on Americas Syria
policy signed on. The New York Times and Wall Street
Journal quoted from copies they reported seeing or obtaining.
The document expresses clear frustration with a White
House-driven response to a conflict that has killed perhaps
a half-million people and contributed to a worldwide refugee
crisis.
The moral rationale for taking steps to end the deaths
and suffering in Syria, after five years of brutal war, is evident and unquestionable, The Times quoted it as saying.
The sentiment isnt new in Foggy Bottom. Obamas last
two secretaries of state, Hillary Clinton and John Kerry,
pushed for intervention, as has a former defense secretary
and CIA director. But the commander in chief has the last
word, and nothing has swayed him thus far.
When Assad crossed Obamas red line in 2013 by using
chemical weapons, the U.S. president backed down from his
threat of retaliatory strikes. And ongoing chaos in Libya,
where the U.S. helped overthrow dictator Moammar Gadhafi
in 2011, is only making him more reticent.
None of the options are good, Obama said in Saudi
Arabia in April. Any Plan B without a political settlement
risks extending the war for years, he said.
The president has always been clear that he doesnt see a
military solution to the crisis in Syria, and that remains the
case, White House spokeswoman Jennifer Friedman added
Friday.

MANY UNKNOWNS
Apart from defeating IS, Obamas Syria strategy has three
stages: forcing Assad into a cease-fire and political transition talks, pressing him to leave power, then uniting his
army and moderate forces to join the counterterrorism
effort.
After five years of civil war, the chain of events hasnt yet
started. Fighting rages despite numerous partial cease-fires
between Syrias government and opposition groups.
And without leverage, the dissenters noted, Assad will
never feel pressure to stop bombing and negotiate.
Military action can drive a more focused and hard-nosed
U.S.-led diplomatic process, they said, shifting the tide
of the conflict and sending a clear signal to the regime
and its backers that there will be no military solution.
But if airstrikes are limited, would they scare Assad into
peace talks or make him more determined to dig in? If the
U.S. ultimately hopes Assad will negotiate his own departure, what new incentive would he have?
The threat of strikes brings dramatic results, Andrew
Tabler, a Syria expert at the Washington Institute for Near
East Policy, said approvingly of the memo. This isnt
about invading Syria or another Iraq. Its about punishing
Assad for his violations of the cessation of hostilities. And
it could, if backed up with resolve, change Assads increasingly rigid negotiating position.

Wall Street ends week lower

By Ken Sweet

DOW JONES INDUSTRIALS

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK U. S. stocks

closed out a difficult week on a
modestly lower note Friday, as
investors continued to monitor
Britains frenzied debate on
whether to leave the European
Union. The debate took on a new
level of concern after the killing
of a member of parliament.
Technology stocks were among
the biggest decliners. Apple fell
as a patent dispute in China threatened to jeopardize futures sales of
iPhones in the worlds secondlargest economy.
The Dow Jones industrial average lost 57.94 points, or 0.3 percent, to 17,675.16. The Standard
& Poors 500 index fell 6. 77
points, or 0. 3 percent, to
2,071.22 and the Nasdaq composite fell 44.58 points, or 0.9 percent, to 4,800.34.
Anxiety over the British referendum coming up next Thursday
continued to dominate trading.
Stocks have fallen six out of the
past seven trading days. This week

almost 2 percent.
The campaigning in Britain
became heated this week, and took
an alarming turn when a wellregarded politician in favor of
staying in the EU was killed. Polls
have been tight or have shown, on
occasion, a slight likelihood that
Britain could leave the EU. Many
have predicted that could harm the
British economy.

Californias jobless rate

dips to 5.2 percent, 9 year low
SACRAMENTO Californias unemployment rate dropped to its lowest point in
nine years as it continued a steady decline
last month, the Employment Development
Department reported Friday.
The jobless rate fell to 5.2 percent in
May, down a tenth of a percentage point
from April.
The rate was last this low in May 2007,
before the Great Recession.
There are less and less unemployed individuals in California and fortunately more
and more job opportunities, said department spokeswoman Loree Levy.
Californias unemployment is still higher
than the national rate, which was 4.7 percent in May. But the states jobless rate
exceeded 12 percent for more than a year during the height of the economic downturn.
More than 2.2 million jobs have been created since the recovery began in February
2010, the department said, including more
than 15, 000 nonfarm payroll jobs last
month.
That was a smaller increase than Aprils

Patent dispute could block

Apples iPhone 6 sales in Beijing
SAN FRANCISCO Apple is embroiled
in a patent dispute in China that threatens to
block future sales of the iPhone 6 in Beijing
unless the company can overturn a regulators recent ruling.
The potential ban stems from a decision
issued last month by the Beijing
Intellectual Property Office. The agency
found the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus
infringed on a patent for the exterior design
of a smartphone called the 100C made by a
Chinese company, Shenzhen Baili.
Apple Inc. is still being allowed to sell
both of the affected iPhone models while it
appeals the ruling to an intellectual property court in China.
If it loses, Apple could be forbidden from
selling some of its most profitable iPhones
in Chinas capital at a time when sales of the
entire iPhone line have already been declining.

Prosecutors move to dismiss

trafficking case against FedEx
By Sudhin Thanawala
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO A criminal trial nearly two years in the making alleging FedEx
knowingly delivered illegal prescription
drugs to dealers and addicts ended suddenly
Friday when prosecutors moved to dismiss
all charges against the shipping giant.
U.S. District Court Judge Charles Breyer
in San Francisco granted the request in a
two-page order that did not indicate why
prosecutors were dropping the case.
The U.S. Attorneys Office said it would
have no comment on the decision.
FedEx was indicted in 2014, and the trial
began on Monday.
In court on Friday, Breyer said FedEx was
factually innocent. He said the company
repeatedly asked the U.S. Drug Enforcement
Administration to give it the name of a customer that was shipping illegal drugs so it
could stop working with the person, but the
agency was either unwilling or unable to do
so.
The dismissal is an act, in the courts
view, entirely consistent with the governments overarching obligation to seek justice even at the expense of some embarrass-

ment, he said, according to a transcript of

the hearing.
Prosecutors claimed Memphis, Tennesseebased FedEx began conspiring with two
internet pharmacy organizations in the
early 2000s to ship powerful sleep aids,
sedatives, painkillers and other drugs to
customers who had not been physically
examined by a doctor.
The trial was unusual because of the governments decision to bring drug charges
against a package delivery company and the
lack of a settlement.
Rival UPS Inc. paid $40 million in 2013
to resolve similar allegations that arose
from a government crackdown on Internet
pharmacies that ship drugs to customers
without valid prescriptions.
FedEx attorney Cristina Arguedas said the
company did not reach any monetary settlement with the government in exchange for
ending the case.
The crux of the governments case was
that FedEx knew the drugs were illegal and
headed for dealers and addicts, some of
whom died. FedEx Corp. was charged with
conspiracy to distribute controlled substances, conspiracy to launder money and
other counts.

Home construction down slightly in May

By Josh Boak
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Construction of new

homes nudged down slightly in May, with
builders pulling back in the Northeast and
Midwest.
Housing starts ticked down 0.3 percent to
a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1.16
million units, the Commerce Department
said Friday. The governments residential
construction report can be volatile on a
monthly basis, which might explain the
slight decrease.
Home construction has improved much of
this year, with single-family houses
accounting for much of the gains unlike
recent years when developers focused more
on apartments. Housing starts have climbed
10.2 percent compared to the first five
months of 2015, a sign that healthy demand
exists because of ultra-low mortgage rates
and a relatively healthy job market with
unemployment at 4.7 percent.
Single-family house starts have climbed

14. 5 percent this year, evidence that

builders are actively seeking homeowners
rather than renters.
Single family builders are slowly, but
surely, gaining ground on what has been a
strong four years for multifamily construction, said Ralph McLaughlin, chief economist at the online real estate firm Trulia.
Analysts at Bank of America Merrill
Lynch expect that single-family construction will total 800,000 this year. That
would mark solid growth, yet remain significantly below the 1960 to 2000 average of
1.04 million in a sign of how sluggish the
recovery from the housing bust and recession has been.
Starts rose 14.4 percent in the West and
1.5 percent in the South last month. They
plunged 33.3 percent in the Northeast and
fell 2.5 percent in the Midwest.
Applications for building permits, an
indicator of future activity, rose 0.7 percent
in May to an annual rate of 1.14 million.
Builders also turned a bit more confident
in June.

second straight title, against a twotime champion who is tantalizingly
close to finally ending Clevelands
52-year title drought.
Steph vs. LeBron.

Golden State, and maybe even decide
a big chunk of LeBron James legacy
of his second time around in
Cleveland as well.
Ill take it, James said.

said.
This series is still going because
James had his second consecutive
41-point game in Clevelands 115101 victory Thursday night with the
Cavaliers facing elimination again.
Hes the fifth player in NBA Finals
history to post back-to-back games
of 40 or more, a club whose only
other members are Jerry West,
Shaquille ONeal, Rick Barry and
Michael Jordan.
He has answered the call when his
team has needed him most. He even
let Curry know how he felt with a little trash-talking after blocking a
layup late in Game 6.
At the end of the day my whole
mindset is how I can put myself in
position to help these guys be successful and I could be successful as
well, James said. I dont really get
caught up in what everybody else
talks about.

Johnson plays 36 to share lead at Oakmont

OAKMONT, Pa. One year after Dustin

Johnson let the U.S. Open slip away from him
at Chambers Bay, he drove his way to the top of
the leaderboard Friday at Oakmont.
Immaculate from tee-to-green, Johnson
endured a marathon day of 36 holes with a game
that makes him look tough to beat. He didnt
make a bogey in his opening round of 3-under

Johnson was at 4-under

anyone else who completed
the second round in the

More than just his long
ball, one of Johnsons greatest assets is a short

memory. He already has

squandered chances in four
majors, none more crushing than last year when he
was a 12-foot eagle putt

It was the best opening round in 10 majors at

OMAHA, Neb. UC Santa Barbara and

U.S. womens soccer seeks another Olympic gold

By Anne M. Peterson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

With a labor dispute simmering at home,

the U.S. womens national soccer team travels
to Rio de Janeiro as the favorite to win its
fourth straight Olympic gold medal.
The Rio Games approach as a U.S. federal
agency looks at a wage discrimination complaint filed by a group of national team players who claim they make less money than
their male counterparts. The teams union also
is looking for a new contract with U.S.
Soccer.
Intrigue is nothing new for the top-ranked
Americans.
Unlike the mens tournament, which
requires teams to field under-23 squads,

womens Olympic soccer brings together the

best players in the world.
Seeking to clinch its fifth gold medal since
womens soccer became an Olympic sport in
1996, the U.S. makes its debut against New
Zealand on Aug. 3 two days before the
opening ceremony in Rio. Thatll be followed
by games against powerhouse France and
Colombia in Group G.
Second-ranked Germany, fifth-ranked
Australia, sixth-ranked Sweden and host
Brazil loom as potential quarterfinal opponents.
The tournament will be played in seven venues across Brazil, including the jungle city of
Manaus, in the Amazon rainforest, where the
U.S. faces Colombia on Aug. 9.
Last year, U.S. players led a protest against

the artificial turf used in

the World Cup in Canada
before winning their third
tittle in the tournament.
Now, probably the main
concern before Rio is the
status of reigning FIFA
Player of the Year Carli
Lloyds injured right knee.
Lloyd, who wowed fans
Carli Lloyd
with three goals in 16
minutes in the 5-2 win over Japan in Julys
World Cup final, sprained her MCL in an April
game with her club team, the Houston Dash.
Her expected recovery time was three to six
weeks, and the striker has said she will be
ready to play for her third gold medal.
Lloyd also scored the deciding goals in the

gold medal matches in both the 2008 and

2012 Olympic Games.

Another key injury

While Lloyd likely will play in Brazil, the
status of midfielder Megan
Rapinoe is far less certain.
The winger tore her right
ACL during a training session in Hawaii before a
scheduled World Cup victory tour match last year
(the match was ultimately
canceled because of poor
artificial turf conditions).
Megan
The injury required her
Rapinoe
third ACL surgery, and
there has been no timeline for her return.

Mexicos mix-and-match lineup working well in Copa

By Janie McCauley
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SANTA CLARA Juan Carlos Osorio has

Mexico winning his way.
Osorios mixing-and-matching methodology for his lineup might be scrutinized by
some and far from universally popular back
home. Yet at least some of his players
believe it gives El Tri a much-needed edge
that is working pretty well if not completely consistently just yet.
Everybody must stay sharp and ready,
because you dont know when your name
might be called in this Copa America tournament. A little healthy competition? You
bet.
The coach strays from steady, predictable
decisions and seems to go with his gut
depending on opponent and situation and
whos got the hot foot.
No arguing the results. And Mexico hopes
that winning its group is just the start of a

special Copa America

run.
Up next is a quarterfinal matchup against
defending Copa champion and fifth-ranked Chile
on Saturday night at soldout Levis Stadium. With
70,000 people expected,
Juan Carlos it very well could be the
most hyped atmosphere
Osorio
yet for a sporting event
at the 2-year-old, $1.3 billion stadium
perhaps topping this years Super Bowl.
Hugely popular, Mexico is almost a home
team in this Copa, being played in the
United States for the first time with a special 100th anniversary tournament featuring six nations from North and Central
America and the Caribbean.
Osorio has used three different goalkeepers in as many matches so far this Copa
America, and 21 of his 23 players on the

roster have suited up for at least one game.

Im all up for the rotations because that
helps you to stay in top shape all the time
knowing that you have a shot to be the
starter every game, defender Paul Aguilar
said. We respect what the coach is doing
and, for me, it helps to stay focused.
Mexico is ranked 16th in the world and
riding a 22-game undefeated streak, its best
ever, topping an unbeaten stretch of 21 by
the 2004-05 team coached by Argentinian
Ricardo La Volpe.
Both teams will try to set the tone by
attacking from the opening kickoff.
Aguilar is expecting another back-andforth game, and Mexico knows its groupstage win will mean little if it cant get past
a Chile squad that was runner-up to
Argentina in Group D.
El Tri Mexico beat Chile 1-0 in an exhibition matchup June 1 in San Diego, getting a
goal in the 86th minute from Javier
Hernandez but not playing its top soccer.

The Mexican team has a style of play

that when you make a mistake they make
you feel it, so we have to be very focused.
Its going to be a tough match like the one
in San Diego, Chile defender Jose Pedro
Fuenzalida said. We will try to play our
best game at this stage of the championship
to keep advancing.
Both sides know that their last game only
a few weeks ago has little meaning now.
Chile was not playing at the same level
as before, but we are getting there. People
remember what we did last year but its hard
to sustain that level, Fuenzalida said. We
also have a new manager and you have to
adapt to new methods and that takes time,
but we are getting closer to what we want.
Mexico and Chile, playing the 2015
Copa America at home, played to a 3-3 draw
in the group stage last year. Chile went on
to beat Argentina and Lionel Messi 4-1 on
penalty kicks for La Rojas first Copa
championship.

Johnson to right back.

But that little shift Klinsmann made for the
quarterfinals was simple compared to significant moves hell need to make for the semifinal, especially if it ends up being against
Argentina and five-time FIFA Player of the
Year Lionel Messi.
The coaching staff, they always do an
amazing job of scouting our opponents and
utilizing the players that we have, said Gyasi
Zardes, who scored against Ecuador to give the
U.S. a 2-0 lead.
Kyle Beckerman is the likely candidate to
step in for Jones. Beckerman has 56 career
appearances for the national team and while

not as creative on the offensive end as Jones,

has more of a defensive mentality that could
be critical if Argentina is the opponent.
Another possible option is Darlington
Nagbe. If Klinsmann decides he needs a bit
more offense from the position, the 25-yearold could step into a role he assumes for his
club in Portland and keep Beckerman a defensive option off the bench later in the match.
Graham Zusi would seem the likely replacement for Bedoya, but how the U.S. aligns its
offensive attack to replace Wood may depend
whether Zardes is pushed further up field. If
Zardes stays in the midfield, Klinsmann could
turn to Chris Wondolowski to pair with Clint

Dempsey up front. Or he could start Zardes

higher up and insert 17-year-old Christian
Pulisic.
The 23-year-old Wood was exceptional
against Ecuador at making runs in behind the
defense and holding possession in the attacking end. His ability to keep control of the ball
as defenders closed led to both American goals
against Ecuador.
With Jozy Altidore missing the tournament
due to a hamstring injury, Wood has proven he
can step in as a holding forward and allow others like Dempsey to be creators around him.
Were confident. Were confident that we
can keep up with any team, Wood said.

ing, Putin added.

Russias Sports Ministry also said Rio
Games will be diminished by the absence
of its athletes, and the Russian track federation said it was considering an appeal to the
Court of Arbitration for Sport the sports
worlds highest court.
The IAAF, tracks world governing body,
left open a tiny crack that would allow
any individual Russian athletes who have
been untainted by doping and have been
subjected to effective testing outside Russia
to apply to compete in the games.
However, the IAAF said those athletes

would be few and would be eligible to compete only as individuals and not under
the Russian ag.

The system in Russia has been tainted by

doping from the top level down, Andersen
said. We cannot trust that what people
might call clean athletes are really clean. If
you have one or two or ve with negative
tests, it does not mean the athletes are
clean. History has shown that is not the
case.

The crack in the door is quite narrow and

there wont be many who manage to get
through that crack in the door, said Rune
Andersen, the Norwegian anti-doping
expert who headed the IAAF task force that
determined that Russias reforms were not
enough.
The IAAF said it was necessary to ban the
entire track and eld team because there was
no way to verify which athletes could be
considered clean.

Saturday morning.
Johnson went 27 holes without a
bogey in a U.S. Open held on its
toughest course.
The streak finally ended when he
found a deep bunker left of the first
fairway, advanced only 40 yards and
narrowly missed a 20-foot par putt.
He missed plenty of other birdie
chances along the way, not alarming because Oakmonts greens are
difficult to putt.
Far more impressive was his accuracy.
Johnson missed only three fairways in the second round, and he has
missed only five greens through two
rounds. If the lead stands after the
second round is over, it would match

the lowest 36-hole score in a U.S.

Open at Oakmont. And he still hasnt made a birdie on a par 5 in two
rounds.
Sergio Garcia, who also knows
his share of heartache in the majors,
stayed with Johnson as best he
could. He made a tough par on No. 4
by playing his third shot from the
fifth fairway. And he finished his
round with a 50-foot par save for a
70.
Garcia was at 2-under 138, along
with Scott Piercy, who also went 6870.
Im too old for this, the 36-yearold Spaniard said. We know how
difficult the U.S. Open is, and here at
Oakmont even tougher.

On the leaderboard, they were one

shot behind Lee Westwood, who
closed with two birdies in the morning for a 67.
It was good, one of the best starts
Ive ever had, Westwood said. I
felt confident out there and hit a lot
of good shots. I was shaping it both
ways, which you need to do in U.S.
Opens to get at a lot of the flags.
Daniel Summerhays, who got into
the field as an alternate, had a tournament-best 65 and joined Andy
Sullivan (68) at 1-under 139. Jim

the 2007 U.S. Open, also was at 1

only exciting for him but I think
its exciting for a lot of guys in the
clubhouse just knowing what hes
done in the past and the things
that hes accomplished. Were
looking forward to having him,
Weaver said.
You couldnt help but hear all
the things that he was doing
because he was doing stuff that not
a lot of people have done in the
game. He came on the scene and
was one of the best pitchers ever
to come on in his first couple

years and do what he did.

Lincecum said he hoped for a
nice reception Saturday being
back in the Bay Area he has long
called home despite being raised
outside Seattle. His father doesnt
plan to attend the game, which
Lincecum insists will be easier
on his heart being at home.
I think being back in the Bay
Area, there will be a little bit more
of a spotlight on that tomorrow,
and Im sure hes excited about
being back and pitching in the big
leagues again, As manager Bob

Melvin said. During his heyday,

he was one of the better pitchers in
the game. Sometimes a little bit of
time off and coming back, one can
rest the arm a little bit, and it can
reinvigorate you a little, so I
think there will be some hoopla
tomorrow.
Before taking the field to start
his work day, Lincecum looked
down at the new red Angels jersey
he was wearing and felt a little
strange.
Its a little bright, he quipped.

Kerr, Curry each slapped with $25K fines by NBA

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CLEVELAND Steve Kerr and Stephen

Curry let their frustrations with Game 6 of the
NBA Finals be known, and it came at a price.
Each was fined $25,000 by the NBA on
Friday for separate incidents. Kerr, the leagues
coach of the year, was fined for publicly criticizing officiating after the game, which
Cleveland won 115-101 to force a deciding

Game 7 in the title series.

Curry was fined for throwing his mouthpiece
into the stands after fouling out of the game
with 4:22 left.
Kerr took issue with three of the six fouls
that were called on Curry in the game, even
calling referee Jason Phillips out by name for
the one that ended the night for the two-time
reigning NBA MVP.
Three of the six fouls were incredibly inap-

propriate calls for anybody, much less the

MVP of the league, Kerr said in his postgame
news conference, surely knowing that the
league would be sending a bill for those
remarks.
Curry didnt like many of the calls either, and
let some words and his mouthpiece fly
after fouling out. Phillips also tacked on a
technical and ejected Curry, who apologized
almost immediately to the fan he hit inadver-

GAME 7
Continued from page 11
And now its on Curry to answer. He had 30 points in Game
6, but got into foul trouble again the Warriors said some of
the calls were flat wrong, and that will surely earn coach Steve
Kerr a fine before Game 7 after he offered a very clear, impassioned plea that Curry wasnt getting the sort of whistle that an
MVP merits.
Curry got ejected after fouling out, throwing his mouthpiece
and hitting a fan. He was trying to throw it at the scorers table
and missed, which strangely fit a night where the Warriors shot
only 40 percent.
It wont be 1-on-1 Sunday night. But if the former MVP
who still very well may be the best player in the world outduels the current MVP, the Larry OBrien Trophy may be taking
up occupancy in Cleveland for the first time.
Hes had two great games to keep his team alive, Curry
said. You know, thats what hes supposed to do. Im out there
trying to do the same for my team. We dont go 1-on-1 at each
other a lot, but its a pretty competitive feeling out there with
the situation of playing in The Finals and playing for something special.
It has been a series laden with epic swings in momentum,
laden with blowouts and drama.
Every game has been decided by double digits in this series
that is heading back to Oakland, California, for the ultimate
showdown. There have been injuries on both sides; the
Cavaliers lost Kevin Love for a game and a half earlier in the
series with a concussion, the Warriors are without Andrew
Bogut because of a left knee injury and saw Andre Iguodala try
to fight through a very balky back in Game 6.

tently with the mouthpiece.

Im happy he threw his mouthpiece, Kerr
said postgame . He should be upset. Look, its
the finals and everybodys competing out
there. There are fouls on every play. Its a
physical game. ... If theyre going to let
Cleveland grab and hold these guys constantly
on their cuts and then youre going to call
these ticky-tack fouls on the MVP of the
league to foul him out, I dont agree with that.

Still, the Warriors who have lost two straight for the second time all season, and this matches their longest slide of this
season are somehow upbeat.
Well rally the troops, Kerr said. Well get everybody
ready for Game 7. As I said, a home game to win the NBA title,
its as good as it gets. So were excited to be flying home and
get our fans behind us and well be ready to roll.
Pressure will squarely be on the Warriors.
They won a record 73 games in the regular season, losing
only nine times. Theyve already lost eight games in these
playoffs, and a ninth defeat would certainly take a ton of the
shine off having the best record in NBA history.
We expected to win the NBA championship coming into
the season, Warriors guard Klay Thompson said. Its either
win the whole thing or bust for us. I mean, its no fun getting
second place. So it would be a great season, but at the same
time to us, the players, were so competitive, wed feel like we
failed.
To say there will be no pressure on the Cavaliers, though,
would be incorrect.
Sure, road teams are 3-15 all-time in Game 7s in the NBA
Finals. History says Cleveland loses this game for that reason
and plenty of others The Drive, The Fumble, The Decision
among them.
But this is why James came back to Cleveland from Miami,
to finish what he started, to give the city its first major sports
title since 1964. If he delivers Sunday, the promise would be
fulfilled and a new chapter could await.
Hes 1-0 in Game 7s in the NBA Finals, Miami beating San
Antonio in 2013. That was on what was then his home floor.
The fact that this one will be on the road is irrelevant to James.
Game 7, James said, so Ill play it anywhere.

Burns drives in the winning run in the 9th inning for As

OAKLAND Billy Burns singled
with two outs in the bottom of the
ninth to lift the As to a 3-2 victory
over the Angels on Friday night.
The Angels successfully chal-

lenged what would have been a

game-ending double play in the top
of the ninth. A ball hit to right
fielder Jake Smolinski was ruled a
catch and with pinch-runner Todd
Cunningham standing on second, it
looked like an easy double play.
Replays clearly showed the ball

bouncing into Smolinskis glove

and the play was reversed. Johnny
Giavotella followed with a sacrifice fly that tied the game at 2.
Marcus Semien drew a two-out
walk from Fernando Salas (3-3) and
Smolinski singled him to third to set
up Burns first career walk-off RBI.

Ryan Madson (3-2) gave up the

lead in the ninth and got the victory.
Khris Davis hit a tie-breaking
homer in the fourth and Oakland
starter Kendall Graveman allowed
three hits over seven innings.
Yonder Alonso drove in a run for
the As, who had lost 10 of their pre-

vious 12 games. Danny Valencia

added two hits and scored a run.
Graveman was stuck with his
third straight no-decision and hes
1-0 over his last five starts. He
gave up Calhouns homer and that
was it. Graveman walked one and
struck out four.

Former Baylor coach

withdraws court filing
amid settlement reports
WACO, Texas Fired Baylor
coach Art Briles has withdrawn a
demand for new lawyers in a federal
civil rights lawsuit against him and
the university amid reports he has settled a contract dispute with the
school.
Briles lawyers had told a federal
court Thursday he wanted attorneys
separate from Baylor and had no
intention of settling the lawsuit filed
by a woman who was raped by a
Baylor football player. The filing
suggested a bitter court fight was
brewing between Baylor and the
coach who claimed his May 26 firing
was wrongful termination.
Briles withdrew the motion Friday
as multiple media outlets cited anonymous sources in reporting Briles and
Baylor had reached a settlement on
his contract, which ran through
2023. According to USA Todays
coaches salary database, Briles made
$4.2 million in 2015. Baylor, a private school, has not disclosed contract details.
Baylor fired Briles after an investigation found the school mishandled
sex assault allegations for years,
including some made against football
players.

Johnson, Hart
light up Central
Intelligence

Homegrown

By Lindsey Bahr

By Emily Shen

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

I wonder what it says about me that I did
not feel particularly heartbroken to graduate from high school but I wanted to come
into the Daily Journal as much as possible
for the last few days I still could. Dont get
me wrong, I had an amazing high school
experience, but saying goodbye to the
Daily Journal was harder,
in a way, because it was
the first home I had really chosen.
The last time I came
into the office, Jon
offered me a carrot from
his own garden. Perhaps
this is my deluded and
sentimental mind finding
an outlet for no longer
being in English class, but I felt a strange
connection to that carrot Jon helped
both of us grow, and it was all the more
miraculous because we existed in an environment where we were uncommon we
only grew because we found a home in
which to grow.
I started at the Daily Journal two years
ago as an intimidated rising junior heading
in the wrong direction so much of the
Bay Area revolves around science, technology and medicine that it can be hard to discover any other interests. The Daily
Journal and its people helped inspire me to
find my voice in many ways not just in
the columns I wrote but in the person and
journalist I eventually became.
I learned to eliminate excessive use of the
word that. I learned to come out of my
shell and never be afraid to ask more questions. I learned that effective leadership is
a mix of camaraderie and guidance, I learned
about birthday promotions at Safeway and I
learned about the true value of journalism
in a time where clickbait is valued over
content. I learned, despite Associated Press
style, I will still never be comfortable not
using the Oxford comma.
Thank you, Jon, for our many conversations typically off-topic, but always
thought-provoking and interesting. Thank
you for your patience, leadership advice and
fast email response time. Austin, thank you
for being the best fashion inspiration with

Central Intelligence, a buddy action-comedy

starring Kevin Hart and Dwayne The Rock
Johnson, doesnt pack many big laughs, but it is
likely to keep a smile on your face for the duration.
Thats largely because of the charisma of its
two leads, who wholly embrace the earnest goofiness of Ike Barinholtz and David Stassens (The
Mindy Project) story about two guys at the opposite ends of the high school hierarchy. Theres
more to it than that, but at its heart and yes,
this movie has a big, beating heart this story
centers on a high school prince who grows up

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK On their first day

shooting Central Intelligence, their
new spy-themed action comedy, Dwayne
Johnson and Kevin Hart were given an
extremely difficult scene.
Difficult, meaning it was impossible not to break
up laughing and ruin the shot. They were playing
doctor and patient in a therapists office, and they
were staring at each other, real close, trying not to
blink or speak. For Hart especially, this was very
hard to do.
Kevin could just not keep a straight face,

Decadence reigns in Wild Party

By Judy Richter
DAILY JOURNAL CORRESPONDENT

DAVE LEPORI

Carmichael Blankenship (Mr. Black) and Allison F. Rich (Queenie) star in San Jose Stage
Companys production of The Wild Party, Andrew Lippas jazzy, bluesy musical of the roaring
and reckless 20s.

The Wild Party is definitely not for

youngsters or the prudish.
Presented by San Jose Stage Company,
this musical by Andrew Lippa (music, lyrics
and book) is full of decadence and simulated
sex.
Based on a long 1928 poem by New
Yorker editor Joseph Moncure March, it
evolves into a love triangle that goes
wrong.
Part of this triangle is Queenie (Allison F.
Rich), a beautiful vaudeville dancer in New
York in the 1920s, shortly before the great
market crash. She lives with Burrs (Noel
Anthony), a vaudeville clown with a gigan-

tic chip on his shoulder.

When their relationship becomes rocky,
she convinces him that they should throw a
party. Thats where most of the shows two
and a half hours (one intermission) takes
place.
Their guests include men and women of
various sexual persuasions. One of the later
arrivals is Kate (Courtney Hatcher), joined
by her new acquaintance, Black (Carmichael
CJ Blankenship). Hes a decent fellow
who becomes the third part of the triangle.
He also does double duty as co-choreographer with Brett Blankenship, his wife. The
dances they have created are a highlight of
the show.

Blair Brown is happy to be

sentenced to role on Orange
By Frazier Moore
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK On last seasons

finale of Orange is the New Black ,
Judy King, nailed for tax evasion,
arrived at Litchfield Penitentiary to
surrender. But she found no one at the
front desk to receive her.
Judy had a fit. A big-time TV chef,
she wasnt used to being made to wait.
With Netflixs release of the entire
13-episode fourth season on Friday,
viewers will find Judy has subsequently gotten a warm welcome at Litchfield
from many of her fellow female
inmates (shes a TV star!). And from
the warden, too, who handles her with
kid gloves: He worries that, if anything ugly should befall her, bad publicity or even a lawsuit would result.
Suffice it to say that Judy will help
make this Orange season cook as
Blair Brown joins the cast of this
prison comedy-drama for an exploration of fame compelled to coexist
with hoi polloi.
In a recent interview, Brown takes
pains to say Judy King isnt meant to
be a Martha Stewart knockoff,
although the similarities (including
their mutual incarceration) are obvious. But so is the nod to down-South
culinarian Paula Deen, as evidenced by
Judys luxurious drawl.
Judys Southern all right, says
Brown. Shes also very outgoing,
very friendly, and a complete egotist
in the sense that whatever is good for
her, she figures is very good for you.
She is a survivor, and her attitude in
being in prison is, she just wants to
get this done.

Blair Brown, 69, is a veteran actress with a wide range of roles whose only
commonality may be her signature red hair and luminous smile.
In the process, she rises to the occasion. Here, as with most places, she
loves the spotlight.
Its interesting to come into this
story playing a privileged person,
Brown says. There are a lot of feelings both on the administrative side
and the inmate side as to what that
means, and why that is.
Brown, 69, is a veteran actress with
a wide range of roles whose only commonality may be her signature red hair
and luminous smile.
Her film work includes a trio of
major releases within two years (198081): One-Trick Pony, Altered
States and Continental Divide. Her
many theater credits include a Tony
Award-winning turn in the play

Copenhagen.
Recent TV appearances include a
recurring role last season on
Limitless, and before that as the
steely corporate boss on the Fox sci-fi
series Fringe.
And, of course, theres her celebrated
run as the title character of The Days
and Nights of Molly Dodd, which,
though not a smash hit, helped change
TV.
Brown says she has been an
Orange fan since its inception.
When it first started, I thought, Is
there any room for me on this? But I
decided they had plenty of people,
with enough stories to tell.
Then I got the call to play Judy,

theres only so much a dam can hold before

Thurber says they eventually nailed the

Johnson and Hart, they say that early scene
set the tone for their chemistry during the

was (finding) the balance in Bob ... a CIA

find that balance, a Jason Bourne with um,
Tom Hanks in Big, that was pretty challenging.
HART: It was different, which is why I
jumped at the opportunity. ... So many of
the other characters around me were funny,
were responsible for the jokes ... I was
adamant about that, making sure that the

dont cross a certain line. Making sure that
I dont always TRY to be funny in moments

BOUNDARIES OF THE SPIRIT AT

NANHAI ART IN MILLBRAE. Lin Yan,
Zhang Yanzi and Zhou He are three artists
whose distinctive techniques lead toward a
shared goal: to reveal unique artistic personalities embodied in traces of the subconscious, vague fragments of memory, and the
tenuousness of the minds hold on the body.
Their joint exhibition, Boundaries of the
Spirit at NanHai Art, marks the gallerys
first all-female group show and one of the
only all-female exhibitions of Chinese
artists to take place this year. Lin Yan produces architectural installations and sculpture paintings using xuan paper, shaping
and adding layers or weight to her works.
Zhang Yanzi, born in the Zhenjiang, a town
of many islands in the middle reaches of the
Yangtze River, often references the vapor of
the river in her paintings, creating works
with intricate structures. Zhou He also deals
in shifting qualities of light, in an attempt
to transfer a certain spirituality onto the
canvas. NanHai Art, located at 510
Broadway No. 301 in Millbrae, focuses on
introducing major artworks by contemporary Chinese artists that reflect the unique
aesthetics of Chinese art while transcending cultural and artistic boundaries. NanHai
Art has exhibited artworks of prominent
Chinese artists, including Wu Guanzhong,
Guan Shanyue, Liu Kuo-sung, Zhou

Led Zeppelins Page dodges court questions, riffs air guitar

By Brian Melley
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES Led Zeppelin works

that include Stairway to Heaven had revenues of nearly $60 million over the past
five years, an economist testified Friday in
a lawsuit accusing the band of lifting a passage from another songwriters tune for its
best known work.
Michael Einhorn told jurors in federal
court in Los Angeles that songwriters
Jimmy Page and Robert Plant have received
$58.5 million since 2011 for dozens of
works, including Stairway, their bands

1971 hit and most recognizable song.

Einhorn was the final
witness for plaintiffs in
the copyright infringement
case
brought
against Led Zeppelin,
Page and Plant by the
band Spirit and the estate
Jimmy Page of Spirits late guitarist
Randy California.
The action claims Led Zeppelin lifted a
passage from the Spirit instrumental
Taurus.
Under cross-examination, Einhorn said

some of the $58.5 million in revenues were

under terms of a 2008 contract that covered
the bands catalog of 87 songs.
Led Zeppelin lawyers have challenged the
inclusion of the contract in the case, contending it falls outside the statute of limitations.
Page has testified that he never heard
Taurus until years after Led Zeppelin
released Stairway to Heaven.
The instrumental was written by
California, whose real name was Randy
Wolfe and who died in 1997.
On the witness stand Thursday, Page was
reluctant to compare the harmony, tempo or

structure of the two songs, thwarting the

lawyer representing Wolfes estate in the
suit that also targets several music companies.
You want to step through it, attorney
Francis Malofiy asked as he tried to get
Page to discuss the Taurus sheet music,
which is the work protected by copyright.
Not necessarily, Led Zeppelins lead
guitarist replied, sending a ripple of comic
relief through the gallery during an otherwise dull day of testimony.
Page, 72, had entered the courtroom carrying a guitar but wrapped up testifying
without playing a note.

Music and the Brain What Music Does for You and Your Children

Advertisement

by Bryce Martens
Bronstein Music

Weve been following some of the recent research

about music and the brain and wanted to share that
information with you. Current scientific studies have
shown that listening to music causes brain wave
activity that is far greater than doing tasks such as
reading and math. Playing an instrument causes even
more activity.
How do the neuroscientists know these things about
the brain and music? It turns out that theyve made
enormous breakthroughs using bigger and better
machines for monitoring the brain in real time, namely
functional MRI (fMRI) and PET scanners. The results
show that many more areas of the brain become active
simultaneously when people listen to music while they
are connected to these scanners.
But when people are scanned while playing musical
instruments (specially-designed ones that dont
interfere with the scanners operation), the results are

amazing virtually every area of the brain becomes

active. Whats very interesting is that the neural fibers
that connect the left hemisphere of the brain to the
right hemisphere are also very active, meaning that the
logical side of the brain is strongly in touch with the
creative side.
The implications are profound, especially in the
education field. There have been many studies about
the positive correlation between music education and
brain development in children and adults. We know
that music training can improve motor and reasoning
skills. We know that learning music facilitates learning
other subjects and enhances skills that children
inevitably use in other areas, such as language development, math, and the sciences. Research has also found
a causal link between music and spatial intelligence.
Studies have also shown that music students scored
higher on standardized tests.

Those of us who are lucky enough to play music also

know that music is a form of communication.
According to English Magazine, Even today, music is
one of the few ways in which people can connect with
each other without language, it is one way in which
cultures can not only identify themselves but also
communicate with each other and find common
ground.This goes a long way to explain why every
culture has some form of music.

teachers offer lessons on piano, guitar and bass,

drums, voice, strings, brass, and woodwinds. See our
web site at www.bronsteinmusic.com, or give us a call
at (650) 588-2502 for more information on our classes
and programs.

One of the great brains of all time, Albert Einstein,

had this to say about music: If I were not a physicist,
I would probably be a musician. I often think in music.
I live my daydreams in music. I see my life in terms of
music.

the Queens, New York, production center

where Molly Dodd was shot three decades

ago.
Premiering on NBC in May 1987, Molly
Dodd centered on a mid-30s divorcee living
in New York who, by turns, was a free spirit
and a Yuppie hewing to no clear professional
or romantic path.
While many viewers loved this new form,
many more didnt get it. Nor would some of
them accept Molly: She was a bit too liberated, too unpredictable, too complex.
For Brown, it was all a much simpler experience.
It just seemed so easy, she recalls. We

told these little half-hour stories. We didnt

have a laugh track and we didnt have to go for
big yuks. We thought, Lets just have a person who lives her life. What would that be
like? And that, of course, is what some people loved. But other people hated it.
NBC, as perplexed by Molly Dodd as
some viewers, bounced the show from slot to
slot for a year. Then Lifetime came to its rescue, where it aired until 1991.
Along the way, it helped stake out a genre
dubbed dramedy, a term also applied to similarly groundbreaking shows Hooperman,

to be an ordinary guy (Harts Calvin
Joyner) and the overweight outcast
who sheds his flab and becomes
exceptional (Johnsons Bob Stone)
and what they learn from one another.
Seriously!
The movie, from Were The
Millers director Rawson Marshall
Thurber, who also has a script credit,
opens on a flashback of a 1996 high
school pep rally where Calvin offers
an act of kindness to his less fortunate classmate when everyone else
just sits there and laughs. Cut to 20
years later and most likely to succeed Calvin is married to his high
school girlfriend (Danielle Nicolet)
and working as a midlevel accountant
whos just been passed over for a promotion that his former assistant gets
instead. Its the eve of their high
school reunion and hed rather not go
at all. Hes feeling a little too average
for the what are you doing now
small talk.
Thats when Bob comes back into
his life. A random friend request from
a mysterious fellow who claims to

which launched Neil Patrick Harris.

It was a form that greatly stretched the possibilities of the strictly comic half-hour sitcom as well as the strictly dramatic hour-long
dramas of that day. Without Molly Dodd,
its possible that Orange would never have
happened.
But now, says Brown, many, many
years later, Im back in Queens, at the same
studio, doing another show thats funny when
it wants to be funny, serious and scary when it
wants to be serious and scary. Its a very similar idea. Its just about people. And you dont
have to blow anything up.

like guns, pancakes and unicorns,

followed by a few enthusiastic
Facebook messages, lead to the two
getting together for drinks. Bob is
not the 300-pound pariah anymore.
Hes The Rock. And yet, despite the
exterior upgrade, though, hes still
an affable dweeb at heart, rocking a
fanny pack, jean shorts, a unicorn Tshirt. Hes genuinely thrilled to be
hanging out with Calvin, too.
It just so happens that Bob is also a
super spy who is on the run from his
fellow CIA agents for mysterious reasons. Calvin, of course, gets entangled in all of this, bringing the requisite wide-eyed WTF perspective needed in this sort of over-the-top comedy.
Again, its the actors who really
bring Central Intelligence home.
One of Johnsons great onscreen
strengths is that he has a believable
softness to him that belies his hard
shell, even in his more hardcore
roles. Here, that high-wattage charisma is turned up to 11. Hes almost daring you not to smile along with him.
Hart, in the straight man role, gets
to flex some muscles that not many
comedies ask of him relative subtlety. For a man who displays such
unwavering confidence most of the
time, Harts Calvin is like a less

depressed Louis C.K. In some past

life, this might have even been a
Steve Martin role.
Central Intelligence also boasts
an impressive roster of cameos and
bit parts from comedians like
Silicon Valleys Kumail Nanjiani
and a few others that I wont spoil
here.
The plot is pretty silly and not
worth much discussion, although in
its nearly two-hour runtime, some
scenes drag on interminably and bits
start to feel a little repetitive.
Thurber should have trimmed some of
that fat but he probably didnt want to
throw out any even slightly amusing
footage of his two superstars. And
what didnt make it into the film can
probably be found in the blooper reel
at the end.
Despite its shortcomings, Central
Intelligence is a satisfyingly sweet
summer distraction that should only
improve with time and repeat viewings.
Central Intelligence, a Warner
Bros. release, is rated PG-13 by the
Motion Picture Association of
America for crude and suggestive
humor, some nudity, action violence,
and brief strong language. Running
time: 114 minutes. Two and a half
stars out of four.

RATES

chase a new home. Prices are set based on
state-provided data outlining average
incomes in the area, said San Mateo
Housing Manager Sandy Council.
While the city has an inclusionary zoning
policy requiring developers to set aside
either 10 percent or 15 percent of the units
as affordable, there are still far fewer units
than those on the waiting list, Council said.
As people are trying to find more affordable housing, they turn to our program. And
the summer before last, we had about 1,000
people on our wait list, Council said,
adding the city currently has 221 rental
units set aside as affordable, and another 23
currently under construction.
On the for-sale side, 112 homes have been
completed and about 41 are under construction, according to Council. The wait list for
rentals has since closed due to it far exceeding availability, she added.
Updates to its maximum below-market
rate pricing will be on the City Councils
consent calendar this Monday and includes
ranges based on ones income as well as
housing or apartment size.
For those making very low incomes,
rental rates will increase to $940 from $900

Continued from page 1
The issue is not unique to Burlingame
either, said Gardiner, as he has found in discussing with other planning officials from
neighboring communities that they are
inundated with work as well.
The city is a member of the 21 Elements
working group comprised of representatives from jurisdictions across San Mateo
County and, during quarterly meetings,
Gardiner said many local officials expressed
a similar sentiment regarding the increased
workload in processing project applications.
Everybody says the same thing, said
Gardiner. Volumes are pretty much up
across the board.
The countys experience is consistent
with national trends, which finds more
Americans are investing in their homes to
do home improvements and renovations

for a studio, $1,080 from $1,030 for a onebedroom unit, and $1,210 from $1,160 for a
two-bedroom unit. Low-income earners can
be charged up to $1,130 for a studio, $1,290
for a one-bedroom unit and $1,450 for a
two-bedroom unit.
In contrast, the city estimates the average
asking rental rates last year included $2,112
for a studio apartment, $2,633 for a onebedroom unit and around $3,000 for a twobedroom unit, according to the citys
Housing Task Force report.
To qualify as low income, one must make
between $69,000 to $99,000 depending
upon their family size. Very-low income is
considered those who make up to 50 percent
of the average, or between $43,000 to
$62,000, depending on family size, according to a staff report.
For-sale prices are also going up about 8
percent, although the increase will likely
only affect units planned during the coming
year, not homes or condominiums already
being constructed, Council said.
For low-income earners, the range for
condominiums or townhomes includes
$180,000 for a studio, all the way up to
$305,000 for a four-bedroom unit. The price
for a moderate income earner or someone
who makes between $91,000 to $121,000
depending family size ranges from
$241,000 for a studio to $399,000 for a
four-bedroom condominium or townhome.
Single-family detached homes range from

$381,000 for a one-bedroom to $532,000

for a four-bedroom, according to the report.
Again, the prices are drastically lower
than market-rate sales with the average single-family home in San Mateo selling for
around $1.4 million last year.
As part of Mondays update, the city is
likely to reduce the percentage of units
required to be set aside as below market for
builders who offer larger, three-bedroom
residences, Council said. Currently, theres
an increased demand for larger units yet few
developers are constructing this type.
In the inclusionary program, we dont
control whats being built at all. Its up to
the market-rate developers to decide what
the market is, if they think theres more
demand for studios or ones and twos, thats
what theyll build, Council said. But we
have a lot of families who would like threebedroom units, so weve developed this
concept that wed be willing to lessen the
amount of units they have to give us if we
can get bigger units.
San Mateo is somewhat unique in the area
having a voter-approved measure that
requires developers to set aside a certain percentage of housing units for low-income
earners.
While state lawsuits questioned the legality of inclusionary zoning policies and set
precedent preventing many cities from forcing rental apartment developers to provide
below-market rate units, San Mateo has

retained this affordable housing tool

because its rules were codified by the voters.
A recent ruling in a case against San Jose
has left many cities more confident in their
ability to apply inclusionary zoning on forsale properties and a local assemblyman has
pending legislation that could overturn the
rental-focused case known as Palmer and
allow cities to institute inclusionary policies.
Even Gov. Jerry Browns by-right proposal which would enable developers
complying with local zoning codes who
offer a percentage of affordable units within
a project to sidestep certain public reviews
could create more below market rate units
that, if located in San Mateo, would likely
have to follow these rates.
But with affordable housing remaining a
hot topic amongst state officials and the
impacts acutely felt in the Bay Area where
more and more workers are commuting from
further away, Council noted inclusionary
zoning isnt a silver bullet.
This is one tool in the tool box, but its
a valuable tool that the city has, Council
said. But yes, I would say that San Mateo
and the Bay Area is in the middle of a housing crisis right now.

than years prior.

A national report by Home Advisor
showed 35 percent of homeowners completed two rehabilitation projects in the last 12
months, an increase of 12 percent from
2015. The trend is projected to continue as
well, as the survey found many expect to
complete more major renovation projects
in 2017 than previous years.
Locally, many money lenders have said
they are seeing an increase in the amount of
San Mateo County residents taking loans
out to finance their home improvement
projects. Those sentiments are consistent
with the report findings showing nationally an increased amount of Americans are
financing their renovation projects by borrowing money than last year.
In Burlingame, there was a downtick of
renovation projects amidst the Great
Recession, said Gardiner, but applications
for such work have been on the rise consistently for the last couple years on the way to
reaching record heights.
A quick perusal of the average Burlingame
Planning Commission meeting agenda will

show the session is comprised mostly of

discussions surrounding the interest of a
homeowner adding another story to an
existing home or building a new addition.
To that end, of the eight agenda items for
the Monday, June 13, meeting, five are
requests for approval to build an addition to,
or renovate, an existing home.
To his surprise, Gardiner said planning
commissioners were amenable when asked
to consider hosting longer meetings twice a
month, rather than running shorter sessions which could have resulted in a backlog of applications.
In preparation for meetings, which occasionally can span into the early morning
hours due in part to extensive agenda,
Gardiner said the work associated with processing applications consumes a majority
of the city staffs time, leaving little left
over for assessment of larger projects which
may require greater investments of time and
energy.
The result is an increase in hiring outside
consulting help to process legal issues such
as those associated with the California

Environmental Quality Act, said Gardiner,

which is a job city staff used to do before
their plates became full with other work.
Hiring outside help, a cost paid by the
applicant, has helped city offices run more
efficiently, said Gardiner.
Taking that off of the plates of staff
allows us to keep on top of the more day-today workload, said Gardiner.
Yet despite the outside hired help,
Gardiner said the department relies heavily
on regular weekly meetings to ensure the
considerable workload is distributed equally
through the department.
That is the advantage of having a small
group, it allows for close collaboration, he
said.
But so long as the home renovation, rehabilitation and improvement project continues to be a common interest in Burlingame,
Gardiner said an efficient approach is
required by planning staff to best manage
the rising tide of demand.
Its always all hands on deck to make
sure that we have our bases covered, he
said.

CITIZEN

What Im most excited about,

which was also a driver of me to do
this, is that I can vote now.
Especially for this years election,
Im very excited about the right to
vote, thats probably the first thing I
will do, is register to vote, Sylvain
said.
Having moved to California nearly
17 years ago to finish graduate
school, Sylvain has taken advantage
of opportunities unique to the Bay
Area. With a doctorate in chemistry,
she is a project manager at Genentech
working on a drug to treat breast cancer. After swearing her allegiance, the
mother of two was showered in hugs
by her husband and children.
It just made sense to become an
American like the rest of my family,
Sylvain said, noting shes pleased to
be raising her kids locally. Im really in alignment with the philosophy
of the country and diversity.
Especially in California, its a great
place to grow up and theres lots of
opportunities.

Padmanabhan, a single mom,

shared a similar sentiment noting
shes grateful to be raising her 5year-old daughter in the United
States.
Its fantastic. I always wanted that
for my daughter, to know that she was
going to be raised in this country, I
think its definitely one of the safest
countries for women, so I couldnt
have asked for more, Padmanabhan
said. I think people should obviously have the right to feel safe, I think
it should be a basic human right. But
unfortunately thats not true in many
countries.
A former Bollywood dance instructor, she appreciates the foundation
she received growing up in India. But
living in a place where she feels liberated, freed up her time and attention
allowing her to focus on pursuing
higher goals an ability that
prompted her to apply for citizenship
as soon as she was legally able.
In the San Francisco office of the
U. S. Citizenship and Immigration
Services alone, thousands become
naturalized citizens each month.
Emilia Bardini, director of the USCIS
San Francisco Asylum Office, led the
oath of allegiance that ushered in a
new group of voters, potential jurors
and participants in American democracy.
There are 20 applicants today from
15 countries, and they will leave representing one country, Bardini said.
Although you leave today as an
American, we recognize that each of
you will bring something unique
from your homeland and add it to
Americas diverse national character

ground check.
It can mean a senior has to wait for
weeks to get the in-home care they
need, Williams said.
Another unintended consequence is
that home care aides who work privately do not have to pass a background
check that may ultimately be a danger
to seniors.
Gosula calls that a loophole in the
law.
If they work privately with no
supervision, elderly people are being
put at more risk, she said.
There is also an immense shortage of
home care aides in the area, Williams
said.
For every caregiver available there
are two jobs, Williams said. The
demand is high.
Many caregivers also cannot afford
to live in the area because of the high
cost of living, he said.
Workers now must also be screened
for tuberculosis and undergo some
training.
Home care aides typically help their
clients with bathing, dressing, per-

sonal hygiene, grooming, laundry and

shopping for personal care items or
groceries.
A home care aide with past convictions may get an exemption from the
Department of Social Services for
minor offenses. Crimes not exempted
include robbery, sexual battery and
elder abuse among other felonies.
Home care organizations that do not
comply with the law may be fined and
have their licenses revoked.
The new law is a good thing but for
now its a pain, Gosula said.
California law established the Home
Care Services Consumer Protection
Act which, as of January 2016,
requires home care organizations to be
licensed and creates a public online
registry for home care aides who have
been background checked. The law is
intended to promote consumer protection for elderly and disabled individuals who hire private aides to come into
their homes and provide assistance
with activities of daily living, according to the state Department of Social
Services.

Mateo, joined to commemorate the
ceremony that melded a celebration
of Flag Day this past Tuesday as well
as World Refugee Day this coming
Monday.
Speier remarked on the nations
history as a melting pot of cultures
and noted the diversity amongst
those who committed themselves to
becoming an American.
Natural born citizens dont go
through this process, but going
through this process and seeing what
you are bearing witness to, is pretty
profound. It says a great deal about
your commitment to our country,
Speier said.
She also took time to encourage the
audience to reflect on the rights
afforded by citizenship.
John F. Kennedy once said, no
form of government requires more of
its citizens than does the American
democracy. So with all of these privileges comes the responsibilities
associated with it, Speier said. I
want you to remember one Latin
phrase, its on money, its on the
dome in the chamber of the House of
Representatives E pluribus
unum, out of many we are one.
So today, as you walk out of here, you
are all one with all of us.
For San Mateo resident Catherine
Sylvain, getting to exercise one of
the most inherent rights of being an
American prompted her to give up her
French citizenship.

Thats a lot of money for a small
business, she said.
Many home care companies have
also gone out of business because of
the licensure requirement, she said.
It has caused some to seek the help
of their competitors to staff clients,
Gosula said.
The law overall is not bad, she said,
because the industry was not regulated
in anyway before. But the transition
has been tough, she added.
The law does not apply to county
workers or those who work privately
on their own.
It has caused many to ditch their former companies to work privately, said

Iraq: Most of Fallujah retaken from IS militants

By Qassim Abdul Zahra
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BAGHDAD Iraqi special forces swept

into Fallujah on Friday, recapturing most of
the city as the Islamic State groups grip
crumbled after weeks of fighting. Thousands
of trapped residents took advantage of the
militants retreat to flee, some swimming
across the Euphrates River to safety.
Residents described harrowing escapes
even after IS fighters abandoned some
checkpoints that had them bottled up in the
city. On the river, some boats packed with
people overturned in the water. Others
picked their way down roads laced with hidden bombs that killed several. In some
cases, IS allowed people to leave only if
they took the jihadis families with them.
After weeks of heavy battles since the
offensive began in late May, it appeared that
IS defenses in much of the city collapsed
abruptly.
In the early morning Friday, Iraqi forces
punched into the city center, meeting
intense fighting. But by evening, the special forces commander Brig. Haider al-Obedi
told the Associated Press that his troops
controlled 80 percent of the city, with IS
fighters now concentrated in four districts
on its northern edge.
It was a major step toward regaining the
Islamic State groups last major foothold in
Iraqs western Anbar province, the heartland
of the countrys Sunni minority. The militants overran the city in early 2014, the first
urban area to fall into its hands before it

overran most of Anbar and much of northern
Iraq.
Over the past year, Iraqi forces backed by
U.S-led airstrikes have city-by-city regained
large parts of that territory though the
biggest prize, Iraqs second largest city,
Mosul, and surrounding territory in the
north, remains in IS control, liked to its
holdings in neighboring Syria.
Friday evening, Iraqi Prime Minister
Haider al-Abadi spoke on national TV from

the joint command center, congratulating

the troops on their victories. We promised
to liberate Fallujah, and it has returned to the
embrace of the nation, he said.
Iraqi forces have tightened their control
over the inside of the city, and there are
some pockets that need to be cleaned out
within hours, he said.
In the early hours, special forces pushed
into Fallujahs central al-Nazzal district,
which had served as a base for the militants

with weapons warehouses and command

centers, al-Obeidi said. Backed with air support from the US-led coalition and Iraqi air
force, the troops were able to move into the
center at around 6 a.m. They seized the main
government complex, which includes
municipality offices that IS had torched, the
police station and other government buildings.
Iraqi forces are now in the center of the
city. They had not been there since the
beginning of 2014, al-Obeidi said.
IS fighters were still holding out in the
nearby central hospital, al-Obeidi said.
Throughout the day and into the night, Iraqi
forces surrounded the hospital, clashing
with snipers on adjacent buildings. But they
were holding back from storming the building, fearing there were patients inside that
the militants would use as human shields, he
said.
Meanwhile, troops were clearing roadside
bombs from recaptures areas, including the
government complex and the highway west
of the city, linking it to Baghdad, al-Obeidi
said.
Aid groups had estimated that 50,000
civilians had been trapped inside Fallujah
when the assault began several weeks ago,
and they say that 30,000 to 42,000 of those
had fled since then. They have largely been
staying in camps in areas around the city.
The Norwegian Refugee Council said the
thousands more people fleeing the city were
overwhelming services at the camps, with
many sleeping in the open and drinking
water in short supply.
