BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE
Pacific Gas and Electric Co. was charged
in a revised grand jury indictment in San
Francisco Tuesday with a new criminal
count of obstructing justice in a probe of
a fatal pipeline explosion in San Bruno in
2010, U.S. prosecutors announced.
U.S. Attorney Melinda Haag said the
superseding indictment also charges the
utility with 27 counts of willfully violating
the federal Natural Gas Pipeline Safety Act
in its recording-keeping and pipeline man-
agement practices.
The original indictment against PG&E,
led April 1, contained 12 counts of violat-
ing the pipeline safety law.
As of 7 p.m. Tuesday night, the expanded
indictment had not yet been posted on the
courts electronic docket.
Haag said the grand jury charged PG&E
with obstructing the National
Transportation Safety Boards investiga-
tion of the San Bruno explosion and re,
which killed eight people and injured 66
others on Sept. 9, 2010.
She said the indictment alleges that dur-
ing the investigation, PG&E provided a
version of a policy outlining the way in
which it addressed manufacturing risks on
its natural gas pipelines.
PG&E later withdrew that version, claim-
ing it was produced in error, and was an
unapproved draft. In fact, PG&E allegedly
was operating under the so-called unap-
proved draft from 2009 through April 5,
2011, the U.S. attorney said.
Haag said the consequence of that practice

Report: Health
premiums see
significant rise
Insurers plans rise from at least 22
percent to as much as 88 percent
By Fenit Nirappil
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO Californias insurance commissioner
released a report Tuesday showing the cost of health-care
premiums increased signicantly this year, as he pushes for
more authority to regulate those costs.
Californias four largest insurers raised premiums for indi-
viduals from at least 22 percent to as much as 88 percent,
depending on factors such as age and location, according to
the annual report released by Commissioner Dave Jones, a
Democrat rst elected in 2010. Those gures were calculated
comparing the price of an insurers mid-quality standard
plans in 2014 to the insurers most popular plans in 2013.
Earlier this year, thousands of people voiced complaints
that new rates would be high, even though the state said
2014 rates would be lower than expected.

Joe Gershaneck, president of the Mariners Green Homeowners Association, No. 2, shows some of the homes at the Marina
Lagoon that will once again be subject to federally mandated ood insurance rates in San Mateo.
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
After years of high ood insurance
premiums and working with San Mateo
city ofcials to fund millions of dol-
lars in infrastructure improvements,
most homeowners in the Marina
Lagoon neighborhood were thrilled to
be removed from the Federal
Emergency Management Agency
Flood Insurance Rate Map, or FIRM,
in 2012.
However, relief was shockingly
short-lived for about 140 homeowners
who recently discovered they will
again be subject to costly insurance
mandates as FEMA will release a new
countywide map in 2015.
Are we on a slippery slope? Did
they find another way to get 100
homes back in the ood zone? Wi l l
they find another way to get more
homes back in the ood zone? asked
Joe Gershaneck, president of the
Mariners Green Homeowners
Association, No. 2.
Gershaneck said he bought his home
in 1977 and was dismayed to learn he
and many others who live on the
lagoon are being dragged back under
FEMAs control. The arbitrary maps
are troubling, Gershaneck said, as each
property is so unique that one person
may be required to purchase insurance
for their entire home because they
have a single pillar in the water while
their immediate neighbor may be
exempt.

A 52-year-old third-striker connected to
the armed robbery of a South San
Francisco office worker in 2007 by DNA
on a bandanna left at the scene was sen-
tenced Tuesday to 50 years to life in
prison.
Ajury convicted Tony Alfonso Johnson,
who unsuccessfully represented himself in
trial, in September of robbery and kidnap-
ping with the use of a firearm after only
two hours of deliberations. The charges
left Johnson facing a life term because he
has six prior strike convictions including
kidnapping, robbery and rape.
Johnson is also currently serving 27
years to life in prison for a 2009 gun pos-
session case out of Solano County. The
San Mateo County sentence imposed yes-
terday will run consecutively, Chief
Deputy District Attorney Karen Guidotti
said.
Johnson was reportedly seeking com-
puter laptops at the South San Francisco
office he entered Dec. 6, 2007, but instead
encountered a worker and fled with the
womans credit cards which he reportedly
used within hours of the robbery. While
there, he used a bandanna to hide his face
and wipe away fingerprints from the furni-
ture. The sweaty cloth was found at the
scene by investigators
and used to identify him
as the suspect after his
arrest in Solano County.
The victim also identi-
fied Johnson who she
saw when he removed the
bandanna to wipe the
prints.
In 1985, a jury con-
victed Johnson of sexu-
ally assaulting a woman in Pacifica in June
1984. The crime brought him 30 years in
prison and made news because he was
found to have committed great bodily
injury against the woman by passing on a
sexually transmitted disease. The allega-
tion carries an extra three years.
Johnsons defense fought the finding but
an appellate court ultimately held that a
STD does qualify.
While in prison, Johnson also added two
more years for being a prisoner possess-
ing a deadly weapon. In the middle of
2007, Johnson was paroled back to San
Mateo County.
In the new case, Johnson has credit of
415 days for time served while in custody
without bail.

San Mateo gas leaks
prompts evacuations
About 20 people were evacuated in San
Mateo Tuesday morning as crews sealed a
small gas line break, a PG&E spokesman
said.
People were evacuated from buildings in
the area of West 20th Avenue and Alameda de
las Pulgas after the gas line break was report-
ed at 10:25 a.m., PG&E spokesman Jason
King said.
Aconstruction crew hit a 1.25-inch plastic
gas line with an excavator there, causing the
leak, King said.
PG&E sealed the gas leak at about 10:50
a.m. and the evacuations were lifted, he said.
There were markings on the ground where
the underground gas lines were and PG&E is
investigating why the crew hit the line
despite the markings, King said.
Its important to not only call 811 but to
follow the safe digging instructions provid-
ed, he said.
No customers lost service because of the
rupture.
Jury finds man guilty of more
than a decade of child sexual abuse
A San Mateo County Superior Court jury
on Monday found a Foster City man guilty of
molesting family members over more than a
decade, prosecutors said Tuesday.
Geoffrey Baggett, 62, now faces life in
prison for more than two dozen charges
including continuous sexual abuse of a child,
lewd acts with a child under the age of 14,
oral copulation by force and rape, according
to the San Mateo County District Attorneys
Ofce.
Baggett began molesting a family member
when she was 7 years old, prosecutors said.
Child Protective Services investigated the
abuse in 2009, but the victim refused to
implicate Baggett, who had threatened to
kill himself if she told anyone what was hap-
pening, prosecutors said.
Baggett stopped molesting the girl, then
age 16, after the investigation, prosecutors
said.
But in 2012, she came forward to police
after learning that her 9-year-old family
member was spending time with Baggett,
according to the District Attorneys Ofce.
The girl told police that Baggett was giv-
ing her back massages on a bed, prosecutors
said.
Working with law enforcement, the rst
victim called Baggett, who made numerous
admissions of his behavior over the phone,
prosecutors said.
Baggett is being held without bail and will
return to court on Wednesday for sentencing.

Redwood City
construction closes road
The mixed-use Crossing 900 project in
Redwood City is on track to hit a structural
steel milestone the middle of next month
and lane closures are planned to accommo-
date work, the city announced Tuesday.
The form work along the Jefferson Street
retaining wall on Monday, Aug. 4 requires
closure of the two westbound lanes of
Jefferson Avenue between Middleeld Road
and the railroad undercrossing for approxi-
mately six hours. Signs will be placed in
advance alerting drivers to detours. The
lanes will be reopened before the afternoon
commute, according to the city.
Meanwhile, work on Crossing 900 is
reaching a point of enclosing the exterior of
the building with precast panels and win-
dows and electrical, mechanical and plumb-
ing systems.
Crossing 900 is a mid-rise building of
office, retail and parking on Middlefield
Road adjacent to the Caltrain Station.

Working to help keep the community safe
by day as a police ofcer, Todd Finato also
has a pet project that benets the communi-
ty as well.
The San Mateo County sheriffs sergeant
is spearheading a fundraiser Bagging for
Bucks for the third year in a row. The event,
at Bianchinis Market in both San Carlos and
Portola Valley, takes place this Friday and
benets the Special Olympics of Northern
California. Last year, Finato helped raise
$4,000 for the organization in just a few
hours.
Its not just about raising money, its
about raising awareness for the Special
Olympics, he said.
Ofcers will act as courtesy clerks, bag-
ging groceries and collecting tips during
bagging for the group that provides athletic
opportunities to children and adults with dis-
abilities. This year, Finato hopes to raise
even more money; his fundraising goal is
$5,000. Finato, who runs the San Mateo
County Sheriffs Ofce Community Policing
Unit, is a Belmont native and a recipient of
several awards for his years of work with
Special Olympics. Bianchinis Market is
happy to be hosting the event.
We have a long-standing relationship
with the Sheriffs Office in San Mateo
County, Bianchinis owner Kevin
Bianchini said in a prepared statement. We
make it a priority to support their work
whenever possible.
Deputies and staff will be present passing
out giveaways, taking photos and passing
out child ngerprinting and safety kits. In
addition, the San Mateo County Sheriffs
Explorers Program for teens will be show-
cased at the San Carlos store to raise aware-
ness about the Explorers program.
Finato has been involved with the Special
Olympics for more than 13 years and also
does volunteer work to help combat muscular
dystrophy. Recently, the Lions Club pre-
sented him with a Commendation Award for
Service for his work with Special Olympics.
Finato, who has a bachelors degree in
criminal justice management, has also par-
ticipated in Tip-A-Cop events in which

The regulations took effect Tuesday
after a state legal review.
The stronger enforcement was triggered
in part by a state report that found water

worst drought in nearly four decades,
despite Gov. Jerry Browns push to cut
water use by 20 percent.
The rules apply to residents and busi-
ness owners for nine months, but they
could be renewed.

DENVER Hundreds of people across
the country lined up Tuesday to tell the
Environmental Protection Agency that its
new rules for power-plant pollution either
go too far or not far enough.
The agency is holding hearings this week
in Atlanta, Denver, Pittsburgh and
Washington on President Barack Obamas
plan to cut carbon-dioxide emissions by 30
percent by 2030, with 2005 levels as the
starting point. The rules are intended to curb
global warming.
Coal mines, electric utilities, labor
unions, environmental groups, renewable-
energy companies, government agencies,
religious and civil rights organizations and
others sent representatives to the hearings.
Some endorsed the proposals, while oth-
ers said they were a timid response to a huge
problem or an unwarranted attack on the
coal industry and its employees.
John Kinkaid, a Moffat County,
Colorado, commissioner, told the EPA i n
Denver that the rules would devastate his
area, home to a major power plant.
Energy is the lifeblood of our economy,
he said. Moffat County deserves better
than to be turned into another Detroit,
Michigan.
Retired coal miner Stanley Sturgill of
Harlan County, Kentucky, traveled to
Denver to tell the EPAthat coal-red plants
are crippling his health and the publics .
Sturgill said he suffers from black lung and
other respiratory diseases.
The rule does not do nearly enough to
protect the health of the front-line commu-
nities, he said. Were dying, literally
dying, for you to help us.
In Atlanta, Jim Doyle, president of
Business Forward and a former Commerce
Department ofcial in the Clinton adminis-
tration, said the benets of ghting climate
change and the extreme weather it is
blamed for outweigh the potential costs.
Over the past four years, American facto-
ries have been disrupted by typhoons in
Thailand, hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico,
droughts in Texas, tornadoes in Kentucky,
falling water levels across the Great Lakes
and ooding in the Northeast, he said.
Others at the Atlanta hearing said the
rules could raise electricity prices and cause
job losses without signicantly curtailing
global carbon emissions. As U.S. utilities
switch to natural gas, more U.S. coal is
being shipped and burned overseas.
With only ve minutes each to address the
EPA, scores of advocates in Denver staged
rallies for or against the proposed rules.
Theyre basically trying to shut down
coal, which takes away my job, said Mike
Zimmerman, a foreman at the Twentymile
Mine in northwestern Colorado, who
attended a rally sponsored by Americans for
Prosperity.
At a rally staged by a group called
Colorado Moms Know Best, Jaime Travis
said the rules would cause some disruption
but should be implemented. It wont be
painless. But as a mother, I am truly worried
about the future, not just of my state, but the
country and the world, she said.
The Denver meetings are the only ones
being held in the West, where the topic of
air pollution traditionally sets off a loud
debate over environmental values and eco-
nomic vitality. Three of the top 10 coal-
producing states are in the West
Wyoming, Montana and Colorado.
Wyoming is No. 1, producing nearly 40
percent of the U.S. total and more than three
times as much as West Virginia, the No. 2
state, according to the National Mining
Association.
States would have wide latitude in choos-
ing how to meet the administrations goals.
Clean-air rules assailedas too much, too little
The rule does not do nearly
enough to protect the health of the front-line
communities. ...Were dying, literally dying, for you to help us.

McALLEN, Texas For nearly two
months, images of immigrant children who
have crossed the border without a parent,
only to wind up in concrete holding cells
once in United States, have tugged at heart-
strings. Yet most Americans now say U.S.
law should be changed so they can be sent
home quickly, without a deportation hearing.
Anew Associated Press-GfK poll nds two-
thirds of Americans now say illegal immigra-
tion is a serious problem for the country, up
14 points since May and on par with concern
about the issue in May 2010, when Arizonas
passage of a strict anti-immigration measure
brought the issue to national prominence.
Nearly two-thirds, 62 percent, say immi-
gration is an important issue for them per-
sonally, a gure thats up 10 points since
March. President Barack Obamas approval
rating for his handling of immigration
dropped in the poll, with just 31 percent
approving of his performance on the issue,
down from 38 percent in May.
More than 57,000 unaccompanied immi-
grant children have illegally entered the
country since October. Most of the children
hail from Honduras, Guatemala and El
Salvador, where gang violence is pervasive.
Many are seeking to reunite with a parent
already living in the United States.
Since initially calling the surge an urgent
humanitarian situation in early June, Obama
has pressed Central American leaders to stem
the ow and has asked Congress for $3.7 bil-
lion in new money to hire more immigration
judges, build more detention space and
process children faster.
House Republicans on Tuesday put forward
a bill costing $659 million through the nal
two months of the scal year that would send
National Guard troops to the U.S.-Mexico
border and allow authorities to deport chil-
dren more quickly.
By a 2-to-1 margin, Americans oppose the
current process for handling unaccompanied
minors crossing the border, which requires
that those who are not from Mexico or
Canada stay in the U.S. and receive a hearing
before a judge before they can be deported.
Changing the law to allow all children cross-
ing illegally to be sent back without such a
hearing drew support from 51 percent of
those polled.
Obamas proposal for emergency funding,
in comparison, was favored by 32 percent
and opposed by 38 percent.
Santiago Moncada, a 65-year-old Austin
resident who is retired from a state human
resources job, said he had considered both
proposals and ultimately believes the chil-
dren need to be deported.
My heart goes out to them, said
Moncada, a political independent originally
from the border city of Eagle Pass. It needs
to be done only because we need to send a
message saying our borders are closed. You
need to apply for citizenship. You need to
apply to come to the United States. You cant
just cross the border illegally.
My problem is, Whos going to take care
of them? Moncada said. There comes a
time when we have to say enough is enough.
Moncada, however, does support creating a
pathway to citizenship for many of the 11
million immigrants who already entered the
country illegally. He said many are contribut-
ing and should be given a way to become cit-
izens.
Poll: Immigration concerns
rise with tide of children
By Matthew Daly
WASHINGTON The Senate on Tuesday
unanimously confirmed former Procter &
Gamble CEO Robert McDonald as the new
Veterans Affairs secretary, with a mission
to overhaul an agency beleaguered by long
veterans waits for health care and VAwork-
ers falsifying records to cover up delays.
McDonald, 61, of Cincinnati, will
replace Acting VASecretary Sloan Gibson,
who took over in May after Eric Shinseki
resigned.
McDonald has pledged to transform the
VAand promised that systematic failures
must be addressed. He said improving
patient access to health care is a top prior-
i t y, along with restoring transparency,
accountability and integrity to the VA.
The 97-0 Senate vote to confirm
McDonald comes as Congress appears
poised to approve a $17 billion compro-
mise bill to refurbish the VA and improve
veterans health care. The bill is intended
help veterans avoid long
waits for health care,
hire more doctors and
nurses to treat them, and
make it easier to fire sen-
ior executives at the
agency.
Senate Majority Leader
Harry Reid, D-Nev., said
it was important that
Congress act on the
reform bill as quickly as
possible to give McDonald and his team
the resources they need to ensure
American veterans are getting the care
weve promised them.
Senate Republican leader Mitch
McConnell of Kentucky said McDonald
has a tough job ahead of him, but said
that if he is willing to work in a collabo-
rative and open manner with Congress,
Republicans will help McDonald fix the
VA.
President Barack Obama applauded
McDonalds confirmation.

Helicopter rescues
teens on California cliff
A California Highway Patrol helicopter
plucked two teenagers clinging to the side
of a San Francisco Bay Area cliff in a dra-
matic rescue captured on video.
The helicopter was called to the cliff about
two miles north of the Golden Gate Bridge
on Friday around 6:30 p.m. CHP Ofcer
Daniel Hill says the 17- and 18-year-old
boys were stuck to the cliff about 75 feet
above a beach and had no way of getting
down.
They were wearing beach clothes and had
no shoes. Hill says the area was not close to
a road, making a high angle rope rescue out
of the question. In the video, a rescuer
aboard the helicopter lowers a harness and
picks up each boy separately. They are
dropped off on a beach.
They were not hurt.

BEIRUT Insurgents ghting in Syria to
oust President Bashar Assad detonated
bomb-packed tunnels under buildings in the
contested northern city of Aleppo on
Tuesday, killing at least 13 pro-government
troops, opposition activists said.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for
Human Rights said rebels detonated explo-
sives in two tunnels, dug under the ancient
quarter of Aleppo that has been the site of
some of the ercest ghting in the Syrian
conflict, now in its fourth year. The
Observatory said the blasts killed at least
13 soldiers and pro-government militiamen
late Tuesday. It said one bomb went off
under a police station that likely housed
troops.
Clashes between rebels, belonging to
Islamic groups, including the al-Qaida-
linked Nusra Front, and Assads forces
broke out after the blasts and ghting raged
into the night, the Observatory said. The
group has been documenting Syrian conict
since it started in March 2011 through a
network of activists on the ground.
Another opposition group, the Syria-
based Local Coordination Committees, also
reported the Aleppo blasts. It said there
were an unknown number of casualties on
the government side.
There was no immediate claim of respon-
sibility for the attack that comes amid
reports of a surge in deadly attacks by the
al-Qaida-breakaway Islamic State group tar-
geting Assads forces.
More than 2,000 Syrians almost half
of them pro-government forces have
been killed in just over two weeks, marking
one of the worst death tolls in the countrys
civil war.
The Islamic State group has recently
taken swaths of territory in eastern Syria
and whole cities and towns in neighboring
Iraq. It merged the territories last month and
declared an Islamic state.
Increased targeting of Assads forces in
northern Syria could signal shifting priori-
ties for Sunni militants, seeking to consol-
idate their hold on territory and resources
along the border with Turkey.
The attacks are also a powerful reminder
that the rebels can still deal a heavy blow to
Assads forces in the heart of Syrias urban
center that is the biggest price in the civil
war. Regaining control of Aleppo would
boost Assads condence after his forces
retook territory from the opposition in cen-
tral Syria, and along the border with
Lebanon and around Damascus in time for
its June 3 presidential election.
Assad won a third, seven-year term in a
vote that was dismissed by the West and the
opposition as a scheme.
Syrian conict started in March 2011 as a
largely peaceful uprising against Assads
rule. It has turned into an armed revolt after
some opposition supporters took up arms
to ght a brutal government crackdown. It
gradually has become a civil war, pitting
predominantly Sunni rebels against Assads
government that is mostly made up of
Alawites, a sect in Shiite Islam.
More than 170,000 people have been
killed in the ghting and nearly a third of
Syrias 23 million inhabitants have been
uprooted from their homes.

WASHINGTON More than 35 percent of
Americans have debts and unpaid bills that
have been reported to collection agencies,
according to a study released Tuesday by the
Urban Institute.
These consumers fall behind on credit
cards or hospital bills. Their mortgages,
auto loans or student debt pile up, unpaid.
Even past-due gym membership fees or cell-
phone contracts can end up with a collection
agency, potentially hurting credit scores
and job prospects, said Caroline Ratcliffe, a
senior fellow at the Washington-based think
tank.
Roughly, every third person you pass on
the street is going to have debt in collec-
tions, Ratcliffe said. It can tip employers
hiring decisions, or whether or not you get
that apartment.
The study found that 35.1 percent of peo-
ple with credit records had been reported to
collections for debt that averaged $5,178,
based on September 2013 records. The study
points to a disturbing trend: The share of
Americans in collections has remained rela-
tively constant, even as the country as a
whole has whittled down the size of its cred-
it card debt since the ofcial end of the Great
Recession in the middle of 2009.
As a share of peoples income, credit card
debt has reached its lowest level in more
than a decade, according to the American
Bankers Association. People increasingly
pay off balances each month. Just 2.44 per-
cent of card accounts are overdue by 30 days
or more, versus the 15-year average of 3.82
percent.
Yet roughly the same percentage of people
are still getting reported for unpaid bills,
according to the Urban Institute study per-
formed in conjunction with researchers from
the Consumer Credit Research Institute.
Their gures nearly match the 36.5 percent
of people in collections reported by a 2004
Federal Reserve analysis.
All of this has reshaped the economy. The
collections industry employs 140,000
workers who recover around $50 billion
each year, according to a separate study pub-
lished this year by the Federal Reserves
Philadelphia bank branch.
Health care-related bills account for 37.9
percent of the debts collected, according to a
new report commissioned by the
Association of Credit and Collection
Professionals. Student loan debt represents
another 25.2 percent and credit cards make
up 10.1 percent, with the rest of the collec-
tions going for local governments, retail-
ers, telecoms and utilities.
The delinquent debt is overwhelmingly
concentrated in Southern and Western states.
Texas cities have a large share of their popu-
lations being reported to collection agen-
cies: Dallas (44.3 percent); El Paso (44.4
percent), Houston (43.7 percent), McAllen
(51.7 percent) and San Antonio (44.5 per-
cent).
Almost half of Las Vegas residents
many of whom bore the brunt of the housing
bust that sparked the recession have debt
in collections. Other Southern cities have a
disproportionate number of their people fac-
ing debt collectors, including Orlando and
Jacksonville, Florida; Memphis,
Tennessee; Columbia, South Carolina; and
Jackson, Mississippi.
Study: 35 percent in U.S. facing debt collectors
Roughly, every third person you pass on the street is
going to have debt in collections. ... It can tip employers
hiring decisions, or whether or not you get that apartment.

OPINION 9
Serra graduate Pat
Hennen: Famous but forgotten
Editor,
I really enjoyed Sue Lemperts col-
umn Famous local high school grad-
uates in the July 28 edition of the
Daily Journal. As a Serra High stu-
dent, I remember seeing Lynn Swann
and Tom McBreen in the halls. I kept
reading down the column to nd the
name of another Serra sports success
story, but, as usual, this person was-
nt mentioned.
Pat Hennen graduated from Serra
High School in 1972. Four years
later, he was the rst American to win
a European grand prix when he won
the Finnish Grand Prix at a time when
it was thought that no American
would never win on European soil. He
beat the Europeans on their home turf
and proved that you better not count
America out.
I quote from the American
Motorcycle Hall of Fame So
unexpected was his victory in Finland
that organizers didnt have a sound
track of the U.S. national anthem.
Hennen wore a cowboy hat on the
podium a tribute to his father who
was once a professional rodeo cow-
boy much to the delight of the
European photographers. Hennen
was inducted into the motorcycle hall
of fame in 2007.
In 1978, his career ended in a crash
in England when he rode an unsched-
uled race as a favor to his sponsor.
Pat was always quiet and reserved,
very focused and goal-oriented. You
never saw him in trouble at school or
at parties. In fact, most people at
Serra didnt even know he had a
motorcycle. He was not the grease
monkey most people picture when
they think of a motorcycle racer.
This local high school graduate
proved that an American could win in
the highest echelon of motorcycle
racing at a time when few thought it
could be done.
His Wikipedia page tells a very
interesting story of one of San
Mateos own, yet he is virtually
unknown here.
The worst part of all this? He still
lives in San Mateo!

Operation Replace Jackie Speier
Editor,
The article Jackie Speier seeks
answers to VAproblems, in the July
22 edition of the Daily Journal, was a
pithy encapsulation of the problems
facing too many of our veterans. So
what is a veteran to do? Try to get
relief from U.S. Rep. Jackie Speier?
Question: What is worse, suffering
from unacceptably long wait times
for service or the degrading experi-
ence of seeking redress from Speier
who acknowledges that she has been
aware of these problems for at least
nine years? Now that is what I call a
long wait time.
Veterans deserve timely and compe-
tent service. Step one remedy is to
replace Speier in the November elec-
tion.
Our honored veterans rightly
deserve someone who will seek to
prevent these disasters from happen-
ing in the rst place. Speier pretends
to care from behind the walls of her
Hillsborough compound, but the
record belies her facade. She has been
AWOL for 22 votes this year alone.
When you are in the voting booth
and see the word, incumbent, think
incompetent, and vote accordingly.
Together, we can remove that aris-
tocratic, Democratic congresswoman
and replace her with someone who
genuinely relates to the hard-working
women and men of our district.
Let operation, Replace begin.

Prayers for peace
Editor,
Samia Shomans recent letter to the
editor (The universal priceless value
of blood) in the July 23 edition of
the Daily Journal decrying the vio-
lence in Gaza was at once courageous
and compassionate. Moreover, Mrs.
Shoman is to be truly respected for
her plea to turn to the power of prayer
to stop the ghting (I am asking for
prayers for the people of Gaza.) I
would only add in the spirit of peace
that we are called to pray for a better
life for children, families and people
everywhere. No one should have to
live in a world of guns, bombs, sarin
gas, kidnappings, rockets, missiles,
ag-draped cofns, shattered lives and
broken hearts. We have all been creat-
ed by a loving God for better things.

Thats ne, but its encouraging to
read in Modern Farmer magazine that
some investors are turning their
attention to supporting innovative
ideas for efcient water use.
Technology that promotes prudent
use of this essential resource for agri-

sound cool to some, but that is just
the type of scientic advancement
21st-century agriculture needs. At
present, less than 1 percent of U.S.

Reporting by Circle of Blue, a

water issues, recently pointed out a
key reason why the world needs tech-
nological innovation on water needs:
Aquifers that nourish some of the
richest farmland and the largest coun-
tries are under stress. Aquifers in
Californias Central Valley, Indias
Ganges Plain, the grasslands of
northern China and the Arabian
Peninsula are all shrinking.
Water scarcity has dramatically
reduced cattle numbers in the southern

ment in Kansas to rework its water

50-year statewide water plan.

nation with 8.3 million acres in irri-
gation a state water task force this
year developed legislation thats
launched a statewide collaboration to
strengthen water sustainability.
Meanwhile, the ongoing drought in
California is projected to spur farmers
to let 800,000 acres lie fallow this
year due to water shortages. The cata-
strophic drought has spurred some
Bay Area investors to begin putting
money into new ideas for water sus-
tainability.
This issue relates directly to the
University of Nebraskas Daugherty
Water for Food Institute and its annual
conference, set for October. The annu-
al event attracts water experts from
around the world.
Development of water-efciency
technology may never be considered
as cool as phone apps, but in a world
facing growing water and food chal-
lenges, such investment is critical for
urban and rural folks alike.
Invest in technology to manage water supplies Celebrating junk food?
W
e may believe that we make informed deci-
sions about food choice, but we cannot do
so if we are oblivious to the ways food
companies inuence our choices. Marion Nestle,
Food Politics.
Its July 21, 8:45 a.m. and on the TV news I am
informed that today is National Junk Food Day. No, its
not a day to decide to eliminate such foods from our diets.
Its dedicated to eating all the junk food you wish without
feeling guilty. I wonder who could have thought of that! I
must Google it right now!
There it is! Its listed under Fun, unusual, forgotten des-
ignations on our calendar. Junk Food Day is described as
Acelebration of foods that everyone loves to snack on
about eating foods that we generally try to avoid to
maintain a healthy
lifestyle.
We are told what most of
us already know, that junk
foods are the foods that are
high in fats, sugars, salt
and calories and contain
very little nutritional
value. Today you get to cel-
ebrate by eating those
foods without counting
calories and thinking about
nutrition and tomorrow
you may resume your diet.
Google informs me that
Within our resources, we
were unable to nd the creator and origin of National Junk
Food Day, an unofcial holiday. Hmmm!
I love the response from The Hufngton Post. Whats
next? Drink more soda day? Enjoy a cigarette day? Drive
without seat belts day?
Whats really needed is an ongoing National Avoid Junk
Food Campaign and maybe a special day to take stock of
our diets and renew our commitment to avoid as many
products as possible that qualify. The problem is that this
isnt an issue to be taken lightly. The way a great many
people eat is undermining not only their health, but the
health and well-being of our entire nation.
Its a competition between the food industry and any
consumer who wishes to eat healthfully. And its obvious
that the industry has the upper hand. Corporate interests
know that there are many more people out there who go
for instant gratication instead of taking the time to guide
their diets in the direction of better health. Many could
care less about learning about how what they eat affects
their future. They want it now and to heck with tomorrow!
And the FDA? Dont expect miracles!
When it comes to junk food, it seems that theres not all
that much in the supermarket any more that doesnt t the
category. Of course, it depends upon how you dene it.
But basically, there is a plethora of products that provide
little nutrition per calorie those that are made with
white our, much sugar, unhealthy fat and a lot of sodium.
And we must not forget those that we should avoid because
they have been inundated with pesticides and fungicides or
formulated with chemicals (such as colors) to make them
more appealing so well eat more of them. As Michael
Pollen wrote in Food Rules: Theres a lot of money in
the Western diet. The more you process any food, the more
protable it becomes.
Its not easy to avoid such products. Besides, how many
parents of young children know what foods to avoid,
much less which to emphasize? How many have the time
or inclination to devote to learning about such things and
providing foods accordingly? And if we eat out, we have
no idea where the ingredients of the selections on the
menu have originated or how theyve been prepared.
Its very dismaying to see how the poor diets of so
many Americans (aided and abetted by the industry without
a conscience) have caused unprecedented obesity and relat-
ed illnesses. To allow corporate interests to determine
what foods are available for purchase (no matter how
manipulated and processed), as far as Im concerned, is
abominable.
National Junk Food Day! Hard to believe! I cant help
but think that its a convoluted ploy by industry to bring
attention to and sell more of their prot-making contrived
products. Tell me if Im wrong.
Thinking of people like herself in the business of nutri-
tion education, Ms. Nestle wrote: If we are going to make
real progress in helping the public improve diet and
health, we are going to have to face the political issues
head on, say what we really mean, and be willing to take
the consequences of substantial opposition from many
sectors of society. At stake are credibility, integrity and
ethics. Marion, your work is cut out for you and your
cohorts.
And I beg you, Junk Food Day or not, please dont eat
deep-fried Twinkies.

Big movers
By Matthew Craft
NEW YORK The stock market
fell modestly on Tuesday as investors
waited for a batch of big economic
reports later this week.
On Wednesday, the government
releases its look at economic growth
in the spring quarter and the Federal
Reserve finishes a two-day meeting.
The next day, a report on Chinas
manufacturing industry will give
investors an update on the health of
the worlds factory floor.
For U.S. investors, the key news
comes Friday, when the Labor
Department releases its monthly
report on the jobs market.
With traders cautious ahead of these
reports, the market has drifted.
So far, it seems like this week is
about waiting for later this week,
said Bill Stone, chief investment
strategist at PNC Asset Management
Group.
Stocks spent most of Tuesday wan-
dering around the start line. Major
indexes crept higher in the morning,
following news that a gauge of con-
sumer confidence hit its highest level
in nearly seven years. Major indexes
turned flat by midday then slid to a
loss in the last hours of trading.
The Standard & Poors 500 index
lost 8.96 points, or 0.5 percent, to
close at 1,969.95.
The Dow Jones industrial average
fell 70.48 points, or 0.4 percent, to
16, 912. 11, while the Nasdaq com-
posite slipped 2.21 points, less than
0.1 percent, to 4,442.70.
Telecoms were the only one of the
10 industry groups in the S&P 500 to
rise as traders plowed into a range of
telephone and cable stocks, includ-
ing AT&T and Verizon. The moves
came after Windstream Holdings
announced plans to move some of its
network into a trust that wont pay
income tax. Windstreams stock
jumped $1.30, or 12 percent, to
$11. 83.
This week marks the half-way point
for second-quarter earnings, and the
overall results look solid. Earnings
are on track to climb 8.8 percent over
the year. At the start of the earnings
season, analysts predicted an
increase of 6 percent.
Among the heavyweights turning
in results Tuesday, Merck reported a
large sale and a tax benefit that
helped it more than double second-
quarter earnings, easily topping Wall
Streets expectations. The drugmaker
also raised its profit forecast for
2014. Its stock climbed 61 cents, or
1 percent, to $58.58.
A warning of lower profits from
United Parcel Service knocked its
stock down. UPS said spending on
technology to improve its service
during the upcoming holiday season
will take a cut out of its full-year
earnings. The shipping company
also said its second-quarter earnings
fell 58 percent, though shipments
and sales picked up. UPS sank $3.80,
or 4 percent, to $98.86.
Twitter rose sharply after regular
trading ended on Tuesday. The short
messaging service reported that its
revenue more than doubled in the sec-
ond quarter. Twitter rose $11.32, or
30 percent, to $49.91.
Even with earnings coming in,
traders are mostly biding their time
until the economic news hits.
In the next three days were going
to get so much information on the
state of the economy, said Jim
Paulsen, chief investment strategist
at Wells Capital Management. It
could change the landscape under our
feet.
In other markets:
The price of oil fell on concerns
about the strength of demand for oil
and gasoline in the U.S., ahead of the
weekly report on supplies from the
Energy Department. Benchmark U.S.
crude slipped 70 cents to $100.97 a
barrel on the New York Mercantile
Exchange.
Stocks end lower ahead of economic data
By Linda A. Johnson
Biologic drugmaker Amgen said Tuesday
that it will lay off 12 to 15 percent of its
worldwide workforce and close four sites,
even as it reported stellar second-quarter
results that trounced Wall Street expecta-
tions.
Amgen also raised its forecasts for its
2014 profit and revenue, driving up its
shares.
The maker of Prolia for osteoporosis
and anemia treatment Aranesp said its
restructuring to free up money needed
for investments in the business, partic-
ularly marketing and other costs for
launching new drugs.
We began this action with strong con-
dence in the underlying performance of our
business, CEO Bob Bradway told analysts
on a conference call.
The layoffs will happen this year and
next, eliminating 2,400 to 2,900 of its
20,000 jobs, mostly in the U.S. Amgen
plans to close two sites in Washington
state that focus on research and develop-
ment and two in Colorado, primarily manu-
facturing plants with 20-year-old technolo-
gy. Its investing in the latest technology
elsewhere.
Amgen said it will streamline the compa-
ny, reduce management layers and reduce its
real estate footprint by 23 percent. It will
keep its headquarters in Thousand Oaks,
California, albeit with a smaller staff.
The company anticipates charges of
$775 million to $950 million for site clo-
sures and severance payments, mostly in
2014 and 2015. It expects modest 2015
savings, but expense reductions in 2016 of
about $700 million, versus 2013 spend-
ing. Most savings will be reinvested,
including expanding its operations in the
biotech hubs of Cambridge, Massachusetts
and South San Francisco.
We have an unprecedented number of
late-stage programs rolling through at the
moment, said research head Sean Harper.
Amgen is awaiting U.S. approval for its
chronic heart failure medicine, ivabradine,
and its advanced melanoma drug, talimo-
gene laherparepvec. The company hasnt
announced brand names for either one.
It plans to apply in this quarter for U.S.
and EU approval of evolocumab, for abnor-
mal levels of blood fats such as choles-
terol. Its targeting the second half of the
year to apply for U.S. approval of blinatu-
momab, for acute lymphoblastic leukemia
thats relapsed or not responded to prior
treatment. And its conducting late-stage
patient tests on drugs for psoriasis, recur-
rent ovarian cancer and a thyroid disorder.
Meanwhile, Amgen posted a 23 percent
jump in second-quarter prot as revenue
jumped 11 percent on strong performances
by nearly all of its drugs.

Twitter 2Q results
soar, stock flies high
SAN FRANCISCO Stronger-than-
expected results pushed Twitters stock
sharply higher on Tuesday after the short
messaging service said its revenue more
than doubled in the second quarter.
The San Francisco-based companys
stock jumped 29.6 percent to $50.01 in
extended trading after the results came out.
Twitter posted a net loss of $144.6 mil-
lion, or 24 cents per share, in the April-June
period. That compares with a loss of $42.2
million, or 32 cents per share, a year earlier
when Twitter was still a private company.
Adjusted earnings were 2 cents per share
in the latest quarter, beating analysts
expectations of a loss of 1 cent, according
to FactSet. Revenue was $312.2 million, up
from $139.3 million.
OKCupid, Facebook not
alone in studying consumers
NEW YORK Think youre in control?
Think again.
This week, OKCupid became the latest
company to admit that it has manipulated
customer data to see how users of its dating
service would react to one another. The New
York-based Internet companys revelation
follows news earlier this month that
Facebook let researchers change news feeds
to see how it would affect users moods. The
fact is, big companies use customers as
unwitting guinea pigs all the time online
and in the real world.

WASHINGTON The price is sky-high,
but so is demand. A new $1,000-per-pill
drug has become the treatment of choice for
Americans with hepatitis C, a liver-wasting
disease that affects more than 3 million.
Even with insurers reluctant to pay,
Sovaldi prescriptions have eclipsed those
for all other hepatitis C pills combined in a
matter of months, new data from IMS Health
indicate. The promise of a real cure, with
fewer nasty side effects, has prompted thou-
sands to get treated.
But clinical and commercial successes are
also triggering scrutiny for the drugs man-
ufacturer, Foster City-based Gilead Sciences
Inc., which just reported second-quarter
prots of $3.66 billion, or a net margin of
56 percent.
Two senators have unearthed documents
that suggest the initial developers of
Sovaldi considered pricing it at less than
half as much. The health insurance industry
is publicly scolding Gilead, and state
Medicaid programs are pushing back.
The repercussions go beyond one drug and
one disease. Anumber of promising cancer
medications near approval could be drawn
into the storm over costs.
You cant put too ne a point on the sort
of moral dilemma that we have here, said
Michael Kleinrock, director of the IMS
Institute, which studies prescription drug
trends. This is something that the
research-based pharmaceutical industry
reaches for all the time: a cure. But when
they achieve one, can we afford it?
New $1,000 Sovaldi now hepatitis treatment of choice

SAN FRANCISCO Dustin Moskovitz is
plotting an escape from email.
The 30-year-old entrepreneur has learned a
lot about communication since he teamed up
with his college roommate Mark Zuckerberg
to create Facebook a decade ago, and that
knowledge is fueling an audacious attempt to
change the way people connect at work,
where the incessant drumbeat of email has
become an excruciating annoyance.
Moskovitz is trying to turn that chronic
headache into an afterthought with Asana, a
San Francisco startup he runs with former
Facebook and Google product manager,
Justin Rosenstein.
Asana peddles software that combines the
elements of a communal notebook, social
network, instant messaging application and
online calendar to enable teams of employ-
ees to share information and do most of their
jobs without relying on email.
We are trying to make all the soul-sucking
work that comes with email go away,
Rosenstein says as Moskovitz nods sitting
across from him in a former brewery that
serves as Asanas headquarters. This came
out of a deep, heartfelt pain that Dustin and I
were experiencing, along with just about
everyone around us.
The misery keeps mounting in the corpo-
rate world, which remains an email haven.
This year, each worker using a business email
account will send and receive a daily average
of 121 mail messages, a 15 percent increase
from 105 per day in 2011, according to The
Radicati Group, which tracks email usage.
In contrast, consumers have been weaning
themselves from electronic inboxes and
increasingly turning to digital alternatives
such as Facebook, Twitter and mobile mes-
saging. More email translates to less produc-
tivity as workers spend more time weeding
their inboxes and puzzling over convoluted
exchanges among a hodgepodge of col-
leagues and managers scattered in various
ofces or sometimes just a cubicles away.
To exacerbate matters, vital pieces of busi-
ness information are often corralled in a
workers inbox instead of in a database that
can be searched by anyone working on the
same project.
If companies set up communications chan-
nels that worked more like social networks,
the amount of time workers could devote to
other things would increase by about 8 per-
cent each week, according to estimates from
a study by the McKinsey Global Institute.

Only 11 years old, Redwood Shores Lucy
Li is already inspiring the next generation
of women golfers.
Tuesday, Li returned to Half Moon Bay
Golf Links, the site of her historic U.S.
Womens Open qualifying rounds, to talk to
a group of female golf campers in associa-
tion with the Boys and Girls Club of the
Coastside.
[Half Moon Bay Golf Links] was look-
ing to bring some girls into golf, said
Sandra Andreinci, president of the Board of
Directors for the Boys and Girls Club of the
Coastside.
Ellen Wright, who works with the club as
well, added, For kids who would not be able
to afford [to learn to play golf].
The club worked with the golf course for
the last six weeks and it culminated with a
meet-and-greet with Li, who became the
youngest golfer to ever qualify for the U.S.
Womens Open.
Everyone appeared a bit shy in the begin-
ning, as Li was asked a series of question
regarding her game and when she took it up.
I started playing at 7 (years old), Li
said. My brothers played and I really liked
it. Everyone can play and you can play by
yourself.
Li then brought in her golf bag to show
the girls what clubs she carried. She said she
had so many woods as opposed to long
irons because they were easier to hit.
After the question-and-answer session, Li

It isnt just the Pacica American boys. It
isnt just the teams family and friends. Its
the entire town of Pacica rallying behind a
simple but poignant slogan We
believe.
The Pacifica American All-Star Little
League baseball team has won the hearts of
its hometown with a dynamic postseason
run. And with the team beginning Western
Region play Friday in San Bernardino, the
12 players and four coaches comprising one
of the greatest baseball teams District 52
has ever produced closed its hometown prac-
tice schedule in style Tuesday.
After a mild day of ineld and batting
practice at their home field at Ortega
School, the Pacica American boys cele-
brated with a sendoff party at a local eatery,
The Surf Spot. Wednesday morning, the
team departs for San Bernardino to play in
the six-team Western Region tournament,
with the winner of the Aug. 9 championship
game flying out of Los Angeles
International Airport to Williamsport,
Pennsylvania to play in the Little League
World Series.
It was the day following Pacifica
Americans Northern California title win in
San Jose during last weeks Division 2
championship tourney when manager Steve
Falk realized the magnitude of his teams
burgeoning celebrity. Just how proud was
Falk after his team captured the Nor Cal
crown?
I didnt take my hat off for three days,
Coach Falk said.
So, while Coach Falk and his family
including his son, Pacifica Americans
pitcher and shortstop Christian Falk
were walking along Linda Mar Beach over
the weekend, they received an impromptu
round of applause from a group of fans who
recognized their green-and-gold Pacifica
American baseball caps.

CHICAGO The NCAA agreed on Tuesday
to help athletes with head injuries in a pro-
posed settlement of a class-action lawsuit that
college sports governing body touted as a
major step forward but that critics say doesnt
go nearly far enough.
The deal, led in U.S. District Court in
Chicago, calls for the NCAAto toughen return-
to-play rules for players who receive head
blows and create a $70 million fund to pay for
thousands of current and former athletes to
undergo testing to determine whether they suf-
fered brain trauma while playing football and
other contact sports.
Alead attorney for the plaintiffs who spear-
headed nearly a year of talks culminating in the
agreement said the provisions would ultimate-
ly improve players safety and leave open the
possibility of damage payments later.
I wouldnt say these changes solve the safe-
ty problems, but they do reduce the risks,
Chicago attorney Joseph Siprut said. Its
changed college sports forever.
Others strongly disagreed.
Unlike a proposed settlement in a similar
lawsuit against the NFL, this deal does not set
aside any money to pay players who suffered
brain trauma. Instead, athletes can sue individ-
ually for damages; the NCAA-funded tests that
would gauge the extent of neurological injuries
could establish grounds for doing just that.
One plaintiffs attorney not involved in the
negotiations called it a terrible deal that lets
the NCAA off the hook far too easily. Jay
Edelson called the agreement window dress-
ing, saying the NCAA will be able to settle
one-off suits for several thousand each. He esti-
mated that a single, class-action damages set-
tlement could have been worth $2 billion to
players.
Instead, he said, its worthless.
The settlement is primarily directed at men
and women who participated in basketball,
football, ice hockey, soccer, wrestling, eld
hockey and lacrosse.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
The San Carlos Seals baseball team had a
tall task in front of it in the Joe DiMaggio
World Series Tuesday in Half Moon Bay
Tuesday.
Playing in the losers bracket, the Seals
needed to sweep a doubleheader to advanced
to the championship series Wednesday.
San Carlos beat Daly City 7-3 in the
morning game to advance to the losers
bracket nals, but came up well short in a
13-3 loss to defending champ Tri-County of
Winters, ending San Carlos season.
The way the tournament was set up, it
didnt favor us. We had to play a game and
[Tri-County is] fresh, said San Carlos man-
ager Brian Rumsey. But you cant take any-
thing away from them. Theyre good.
With the win, Tri-County moves into the
championship series against Mendocino
beginning today at 11 a.m. Mendocino beat
the Gamblers 5-4 in a game Monday and Tri-
County will need to sweep a doubleheader to
defend its Joe DiMaggio World Series title.
After Joe Pratt tossed a gem in the win
over Daly City, San Carlos was left with the
back end of its pitching staff. Sean Yao was
more than ready and willing to take the ball
against Tri-County, but the Gamblers wasted
little time in teeing off on him. They scored
11 runs on 10 hits over 2 2/3 innings. Tri-
County scored once in the bottom of the
rst before scoring four in the second and
six in the third. The Gamblers were held off
the scoreboard in the fourth, but ended the
game with two runs in the bottom of the
fth to end the game via the 10-run mercy
rule.
Theyre a good team, Rumsey said.
Theyre a good swinging team and they
pitched well.
Tri-County pitcher Tyler Minton was
dominating through the rst two innings,
striking out four in a row, including the side
in the second.
But then Minton lost his command and
couldnt nd the strike zone. San Carlos

HOUSTON Brandon Moss was having a
frustrating night before the ninth inning.
Mired in an 0-for-14 rut, Moss turned things
around on one pitch.
He hit a go-ahead single during a six-run rally
in the ninth inning that sent the Oakland
Athletics to a 7-4 victory over the Houston
Astros on Tuesday night.
Josh Reddick homered for the AL West-lead-
ing As and Yoenis Cespedes had three hits,
including two doubles.
It had not been a very good day until that last
at-bat, Moss said. I was just trying to battle,
stay on the ball a little bit. Get on base any way
I could. If I got a good pitch to hit, hit it hard.
Oakland trailed 4-1 in the ninth before pinch-
hitter Alberto Callaspo had a two-run single off
closer Chad Qualls (1-2).
After Houston couldnt turn a potential game-
ending double play on John Jasos grounder,
Jed Lowrie walked and Cespedes tied it with a
single.
Moss ended his slump with the RBI single off
Tony Sipp and then Josh
Donaldson hit a two-run
double off Jose Veras.
We always have con-
dence in him, Oakland
manager Bob Melvin said
of Moss. Hes played him-
self into a role here this
year where hes getting at-
bats against left-handers,
too, and doing some dam-
age, and no more than that one right there.
Evan Scribner (1-0) got the win and Sean
Doolittle pitched the ninth for his 16th save.
They just found some holes when they need-
ed to and hit the ball on the screws when they
needed to, Qualls said. I just didnt get it done.
Marwin Gonzalez homered off the left-eld
foul pole in the rst inning to give the Astros a
1-0 lead. Enrique Hernandez had an RBI triple as
part of a two-run fth and an RBI double in sev-
enth to give the Astros the 4-1 lead.
Any time you lose games in the eighth or
ninth inning, those are tough games to lose,
Houston manager Bo Porter said. We were in
position to win the ballgame and just were not
able to close it out.
Astros starter Scott Feldman allowed one run
and ve hits in seven innings. He rebounded
after one of his worst outings of the season
Thursday at Oakland in which he gave up six
runs in 5 1-3 innings.
As starter Jeff Samardzija gave up four runs
and six hits with seven strikeouts in 6 2-3
innings.
Im not happy with how I pitched, but to
keep it close and give these guys a chance,
sometimes thats all I need, Samardzija said.
Outelder Coco Crisp, who has missed the
last two games with a neck strain, had an MRI
on his neck Monday. The exam showed no
changes, As manager Bob Melvin said.
Right-hander Jason Hammel will try to get
his rst win with the As after going 0-3 with a
7.11 ERA in his rst three starts since being
acquired July 5 from the Cubs. Houston lefty
Dallas Keuchel, who is 9-7 with a 3.11 ERA,
will try to follow up a solid outing in a 2-0 loss
to Miami in the nal game of the three-game
series Wednesday.
As ninth-inning rally ruins Feldmans gem
By Michael Wagaman
SAN FRANCISCO His left oblique no
longer a painful obstacle, Francisco Liriano
is starting to look like the dominant pitch-
er he was for Pittsburgh in 2013.
With the Pirates in the thick of the race
in the NL Central, the timing couldnt be
better.
Liriano struck out a season-high 11 in
seven innings to win consecutive starts for
the rst time this season and Pittsburgh
beat the San Francisco Giants 3-1 on
Tuesday night.
I was just trying to hit my spots, make
some good pitches, said Liriano, who last
won consecutive starts nearly a year ago.
My last start and tonight, everythings
getting better pitching-wise and Im getting
ahead with the fastball.
Josh Harrison hit a leadoff home run in
the rst inning and Travis Snider added a
two-run shot in the second for the Pirates,
who moved within one game of rst-place
Milwaukee in the NL Central.
A former minor league
prospect for the Giants,
Liriano (3-7) gave up a
home run to Mike Morse
but was otherwise stellar
while leading the surg-
ing Pirates to their
eighth win in 11 games.
The left-hander allowed
four hits, walked one
and retired 18 of the
final 21 hitters he faced.
More importantly, Liriano threw first-
pitch strikes to 19 of the 26 hitters he faced.
Hes 2-0 with a 0.95 ERAover the last three
starts.
I thought it was his best outing,
Pittsburgh manager Clint Hurdle said. The
fastball played so well, he was able to get
them into a swing mode. This is a guy who
was a huge part of the success we had last
year. Thats why I felt it was important to
get him up and running again.
San Francisco lost its sixth straight,
matching its longest skid of the season.
Harrison hit a 3-2 pitch from Giants
starter Tim Hudson off the facing off the
brick wall in right eld for his rst career
leadoff home run. Harrison is hitting .583
(7 for 12) with a double and three home runs
over his past three games.
Snider hit his seventh homer after Ike
Davis reached on an ineld single leading
off the second.
It was just enough to help the Pirates (57-
49) move a season-high eight games over
. 500.
Mark Melancon worked the ninth for his
20th save.
Buster Posey had three of the Giants six
hits, including a leadoff single in the ninth.
Pablo Sandoval followed with a deep y out
to right before Melancon struck out Morse
and pinch-hitter Travis Ishikawa.
Were sputtering with the offense, San
Francisco manager Bruce Bochy said. We
just cant string together a few hits. We have
to nd a way. Its tough to go through this.
Hudson (8-8) allowed six hits over seven
innings and took his sixth loss in the last
eight starts.

SAN DIEGO Like a tide rushing into a harbor,
Americas Cup challengers are now saying they will sup-
port whichever venue is chosen by defending champion
Oracle Team USAfor the 2017 regatta.
That was among six points made in a joint release fol-
lowing a meeting of four European syndicates and Oracle
Team USAin London on Tuesday.
Americas Cup boss Russell Coutts has narrowed the
venue choices to Bermuda and San Diego, with a decision
to be made by fall.
Two weeks earlier, at a meeting in Los Angeles, chal-
lengers said it was a universal concern that Bermuda is
not a great venue. There wasnt a rousing endorsement for
San Diego, either, even though the Americas Cup would
be sailed on the bay rather than miles out to sea as it was
when the Southern California port hosted sailings
biggest regatta in 1988, 1992 and 1995.
What changed?
The challengers received good briengs on the two
venues including wind speeds, which was positive,
British Olympic star Ben Ainslie said in an email to The
Associated Press.
The four-time Olympic gold medalist is leading Ben
Ainslie Racing, Britains latest attempt to win back the
trophy it lost to the schooner America in 1851.
The other teams at the meeting were Swedens Artemis
Racing, Italys Luna Rossa Challenge and Team France.
Coutts, who is both CEO of Oracle Team USA and direc-
tor of the Americas Cup Event Authority, told Emirates
Team New Zealand to skip the meeting, feeling the Kiwis
werent willing to work within the published protocol.
Oracle Team USAretained the Auld Mug last September by
beating Team New Zealand in one of the biggest come-
backs in sports.
Team New Zealand, the strongest of the challengers,
doesnt favor Bermuda as the venue for the challenger
seminals and nals, and Americas Cup match. The Kiwis
and other syndicates are concerned that some corporate
sponsors will back out if the Cup is sailed in Bermuda, a
British territory some 640 miles off North Carolina.
Team New Zealand, like the other challengers, wanted
the regatta to return to San Francisco. But Coutts dis-
missed San Francisco from the venue-selection process
earlier this summer because it wasnt offering the same
terms as last year, including free rent for piers as well as
police, re and other services.
Alameda mayor Marie Gilmore sent Coutts a letter last
week inviting him to consider her city, located across the
bay from San Francisco. She told The Associated Press on
Tuesday that the city is awaiting a reply.
The Kiwis are still expected to enter by the Aug. 8 dead-
line. The entry fee isnt cheap $2 million, payable in
two installments, plus a $1 million performance bond.
The London meeting was called after a weeks worth of
bad publicity following the withdrawal of Australias
Hamilton Island Yacht Club as Challenger of Record on
July 18. The Aussies withdrawal was the rst public sign
of dissatisfaction among challengers regarding the rules,
location and the staggering cost of the 2017 regatta.
In an email to the AP, Coutts said Oracle Team USA
explained some of the attributes of each venue and
showed them the proposed courses, team base and event
village sites as well as the weather recordings. They
seemed pleasantly surprised.
The syndicates also agreed Tuesday to try to reduce costs
for this Americas Cup and future regattas; to have each
team plan to host an Americas Cup World Series event in
either their own country or a country of their choice; and to
commit, if they won the Americas Cup in 2017, to con-
tinue with the Americas Cup World Series.
They also agreed to have regular meetings to maximize
the potential of this Americas Cup and future editions, and
to agree on a date and event structure for the following
Americas Cup.
Ainslie said syndicates talked about reducing costs on a
number of fronts with good intent and this is a work in
progress.
Americas Cup challengers say
theyll support venue choice
nally the driver.
All of shots striped the center of the fairway.
While hitting balls, she explained to the girls about her
routine and what she was focusing on before each shot.
After about a half dozen swings, the girls crowded around
Li and got her autograph. It was at this point, the invisible
barrier between big-time golfer and newbies appeared to
melt away as the girls stood around in big circle and just
talked like kids do.
The biggest rise from the girls came when they found out
Li has done something none of them had ever done.
Shes driven golf carts! one girl said with envy.
Given the amount of attention Li has received over the
last couple of years, she said she no longer gets nervous
speaking in front of people. And as far as being back at Half
Moon Bay Golf Links, where she qualied for the U.S.
Womens Open?

Player gets nearly $1M in
Offerman bat attack case
BRIDGEPORT, Conn. A minor league baseball player
hit by former major leaguer Jose Offerman in a 2007 base-
ball bat attack won nearly $1 million in a lawsuit on
Tuesday, an attorney said.
A jury awarded $940,000 to former Bridgeport Bluesh
catcher Johnathan Nathans, who had sought $4.8 million,
his lawyer Josh Koskoff said. Nathans is still affected by a
head injury he suffered in the attack, though he has made
some recovery and is now an attorney in Portland, Maine,
his lawyer said.
What we really were looking for after seven years was
accountability for Mr. Offerman, Koskoff said.
The lawsuit said Offerman, playing for the Long Island
Ducks in a major league comeback bid, was hit by a pitch and
then charged the mound with his bat and hit Nathans and
pitcher Matt Beech. Nathans injury ended his baseball
career, and Beech broke the middle nger on his non-throw-
ing hand.
Offerman, who played for the Boston Red Sox, the Los
Angeles Dodgers and other teams during a 15-year career that
ended in 2005, testied he didnt swing his bat at the two
players. The Ducks, also named in the lawsuit, denied
responsibility.
Offermans lawyer Frank Riccio II said the verdict is com-
plicated because the jury found that Offerman committed an
assault by making Beech, not Nathans, fear he was about to
be hit but also determined that Offerman did not commit bat-
tery. In addition, the jury did not nd the Ducks liable,
Riccio said.
I think the verdict is inconsistent and a bit perplexing,
he said. Mr. Offerman is certainly happy seven years later
that a jury said he did not strike Mr. Nathans.
He said further litigation is possible.
How is Mr. Offerman liable for damages if (the) jury found
he never struck him? Riccio asked. Its an interesting ques-
tion that has to be resolved before it gets to its nal end.
Sports brief
SPORTS 14
took advantage by scratching out a run in
the third and added two more in the fth, but
Rumsey attributed Mintons sudden wild-
ness to the Gamblers big lead.
Its hard to stay focused (with a large
advantage), Rumsey said.
The Seals nished the game with three
runs on six hits. They had base runners in
four of the ve innings, but could only cap-
italize on a couple of occasions. Connor
Sick legged out an ineld hit in the top of
the first, but he was caught stealing to
thwart any kind of rally.
In the third with one out, Max Michelini
had a check-swing single to right, followed
by a Tyler Brandeburg walk. Following a
flyout to center, Sick singled home
Michelini. Brad Degnan then walked to load
the bases, but Minton got a strikeout to end
the Seals threat.
Trailing 11-1 in the top of the fth, San
Carlos extended the game to the bottom of
the frame by scoring twice. With two outs,
Degnan blasted a double to the center-eld
fence to drive in Sick, who had reached on a
elders choice. Following an Alex Pennes
ineld hit, the Seals had runners on the cor-
ners and when Minton uncorked a wild
pitch, Degnan scored to cut the Gamblers
lead to 11-3.
Tri-County, however, regained its 10-run
lead in the bottom of the fth, ending the
game on an RBI ineld hit from Colton
Minton.
Theyre a good team, Pratt said. We
played them before and they beat us like
this.
San Carlos 5, Daly City 3
In a morning elimination game, San Carlos
stayed alive with a win over Daly City, rally-
ing from a two-run decit in the process.
Daly City scored single runs in the rst and
third innings and held a 2-0 lead into the bot-
tom of the fourth before the Seals scored twice
to tie the score at 2.
With extra innings looming, San Carlos
used a three-run top of the seventh to pull out
the win.
San Carlos Pratt was nearly unhittable for
most of the game. Daly Citys rst two runs
came courtesy of wild pitches as Pratt held
Daly City in check to the tune of two runs on
two hits through six innings.
In fact, Pratt was in complete command in
the middle portion of the game. In the fourth
through six innings, Pratt did not allow a base
runner while throwing a total of 17 pitches
over those three innings.
We needed to win [this] game, Pratt said. I
was trying to save pitching by going seven.
Pratts biggest trouble came in the bottom of
the seventh. After retiring the rst two batters,
Daly Citys Lincoln Chapman singled, while
David Cortes and Josef Mueller had back-to-
back ineld hits to load the bases. Jesse Stein
drew a walk to plate Daly Citys third run of the
game, but Pratt got a soft line drive to second
base to end the threat and the game.
Daly City took a 1-0 lead in the rst when
Stein singled, stole second, went to third on a
Jeff DeAlba sacrice bunt and scored on a wild
pitch. Daly City doubled its lead in the third
when Mueller doubled to lead off the inning ,
went to third on a wild pitch and scored on
another pitch in the dirt that got by the San
Carlos catcher.
The Seals scored twice in the fourth to tie the
game. With two outs, Pennes and Pratt were hit
by pitches. Sean Walsh singled to load the
bases and Michelini drove in Pennes and Pratt
with a single to center, with Pratt just beating
the tag at the plate.
San Carlos took the lead with three runs in
the top of the seventh. Brandeburg singled and
Riki Urate bunted for a base hit. A sacrice
bunt from Michael Michelini moved both run-
ners up and they both scored when Degnan hit
a laser to right eld that just missed being a
home run by a matter of inches. Degnan later
scored on delayed double steal to give the Seals
a 5-2 lead.
Daly City got one run back on Steins RBI
walk in the bottom of the seventh, but it would
get no closer.

SANTACLARA Brandon Lloyd returned
to the San Francisco 49ers to nish what he
started.
After taking a year off from football,
Lloyd said he came back to the team that
drafted him in the fourth round in 2003
because nobody else could offer what he
wanted: a chance at redemption and a Super
Bowl title.
When I was younger, I was in love with
the winning attitude and culture that the
team had. And when I was nally able to
play for the team, no one had that, said
Lloyd, whose rst stint with the 49ers was
from 2003-05. Now the team does have
that, and San Francisco has always held a
special place in my heart. And so I didnt
explore any other options. I wanted to
return to San Francisco and maybe bring a
certain amount of closure to my career.
Lloyd has been a major addition through
the rst week of training camp, showing off
a smooth route-running
ability that teammates
call the best among the
receivers. He has mostly
shied away from talking
about his comeback this
summer, saying his focus
is on making the team
and it still is.
But Lloyd finally
began to open up about
his journey back to the NFL. He said he
wants to help mentor the teams young
receivers and cornerbacks while showing he
still has what it takes to be an elite wide
receiver at age 33.
He caught 105 passes for 1,510 yards and
13 touchdowns in his rst three years in the
league with San Francisco. That included
leading the team with 48 receptions, 733
yards receiving and ve TD catches in 2005.
Lloyd then played two seasons with
Washington and one in Chicago before
stops with Denver, St. Louis and New
England. He was cut by the Patriots in
March 2013 and didnt join any other team
despite catching 74 passes for 911 yards
and four touchdowns in 2012.
Lloyd signed a one-year contract with San
Francisco in April to end his sabbatical,
which included starring in a direct-to-DVD
zombie movie titled After Effect. Back on
the eld for the 49ers, he is learning an
offense all over again.
Lloyd said his goals during training are
the same as theyve always been: not to let
the playbook defeat him, give maximum
effort every time and make the plays when
called upon.
I put the same amount of pressure on
myself as I did when I was younger, he said.
Teammates on both sides of the ball cred-
it Lloyds precise routes more than any-
thing.
Quarterback Colin Kaepernick said he can
count on Lloyd to create separation even
when it looks like he wont and be where
hes supposed to be on time.
He has pretty easy body language to
read, Kaepernick said. And for the most
part, hes open by a step or two. So that
makes it a lot easier.
Lloyd said his skills will just add to the
diversity the 49ers have at receiver with
Michael Crabtree, Anquan Boldin and fellow
offseason addition Stevie Johnson. Toss
tight end Vernon Davis into the mix, and
San Francisco has ve players with 1,000-
yard receiving seasons.
Even still, rookie cornerback Dontae
Johnson said Lloyd is the hardest player to
cover on the 49ers. He said Lloyd never tips
his route in practice, which has helped him
learn more about his own position.
I havent played in the league, Johnson
said, but I can promise you hes probably
the best in the league at doing that.
NOTES: 49ers defensive coordinator Vic
Fangio said corner backs Tremaine Brock
and Chris Culliver and defensive tackle Ray
McDonald did not participate in practice
because they are nursing minor leg injuries.
He also said Justin Smith is sitting out
because hes still recovering from the
shoulder surgery he had this offseason.

NAPA The anointed starting quarterback
for the Oakland Raiders is strengthening his
hold on the position this training camp
instead of losing it.
Matt Schaub is showing signs that last
years disastrous season in Houston might
have been an aberration as he looks in com-
plete command as Oaklands starter.
The performance comes in stark contrast to
what happened with Matt Flynn last summer.
Acquired to be the starter in the offseason,
Flynn lacked the necessary arm strength in
training camp and ultimately lost his job to
Terrelle Pryor before getting cut early in the
season.
Despite the presence of big-armed rookie
Derek Carr, Schaub is showing no signs of
giving up the starting position with the
Raiders.
Schaubys getting his mojo back, said
defensive tackle Antonio Smith, who was a
teammate of Schaubs in Houston during his
highest and lowest moments as a pro. Hes
getting his condence back. Hes starting to
believe in himself again.
Hes starting to throw with condence.
Those are things you need to be a successful
quarterback. You would be surprised just much
a mindset is important in this game. ... The
moment you are doubting yourself is the
moment you start throwing a lot of intercep-
tions and stuff.
Thats exactly what
happened to Schaub last
season with the Texans
when he set an NFL record
by having an interception
returned for a touchdown
in four straight games.
Schaub threw 14 inter-
ceptions in all while los-
ing the starting job to
Case Keenum and posting a 73 passer rating
that was his lowest in seven seasons as a
starter.
After starting the season with back-to-back
wins, the Texans lost their nal 14 games and
traded Schaub to the Raiders for a sixth-round
draft pick in March.
It was like a snowball effect, Smith said.
A lot of things went wrong early on even
though you felt you were playing some good
ball. But you had key things happen to you in
key moments. Lost a few games, then every-
body starting to panic trying to nd some-
thing wrong. And then things just get all out
of whack.
Schaub has put 2013 in the past and is
focusing instead on reviving his career in
Oakland where he is enjoying the opportuni-
ty to learn a new offense under coordinator
Greg Olson after spending seven years run-
ning Gary Kubiaks system in Houston.
While Schaub lacks the true No. 1 receiver
he had in Houston all those years with Andre
Johnson, he is excited to work with
Oaklands group that includes James Jones,
Rod Streater, Denarius Moore and Andre
Holmes.
Were still trying to mold what our offense
is going to be and what each guys role in it
will be, Schaub said. Well nd out what
guys do well. What things work, what things
we like to do against certain looks and defens-
es. ... Its an exciting chance to get going
with this football team and this organization
and climb that mountain.
Schaub had success during his tenure in
Houston, making a pair of Pro Bowls during
his seven seasons as a starter. In 2009, he led
the NFL in yards passing (4,770), comple-
tions (396) and attempts (583) and was fth
in touchdown passes (29).
In 2012, he threw for 4,008 yards with 22
touchdowns and 12 interceptions to help
Houston to its second straight AFC South
title.
The Raiders believe he can put up those
kinds of numbers again and that he can be a
top 10 quarterback in the NFL.
I think hes in a good frame of mind,
coach Dennis Allen said. I think hes very
hungry. I think hes excited about the new
opportunity. I think anytime you go into
something new theres a little bit of, maybe
its an increased focus, an increased intensity
level, because it is new. You kind of force
yourself out of your comfort zone a little bit.
I think hes done that.
Schaub settles in as Raiders starting QB

Ukrainian forces intensied their
campaign to encircle the rebel
stronghold. The shelling killed at
least two people, blew gaping
holes in an apartment block and
raised fears that the city is on the
verge of severe bloodshed.
Fighting also raged elsewhere in
Ukraines troubled east, bringing
the death toll to at least 24 civil-
ians and 10 soldiers over the past
day. And it prevented international
investigators once again from vis-
iting the site of the Malaysia
Airlines jet shot down earlier this
month. The increased danger to
civilians has brought sharp criti-
cism from the United Nations and
human rights groups. But each side
blames the other for shelling resi-
dential areas.
The rebels insist the attacks are
evidence of what they describe as
the governments indiscriminate
oppression of its own people. But
Ukraine insists that it has banned
the use of artillery in residential
areas and in turn accuses separatists
of targeting civilians in an effort to
discredit the army.
Donetsk until recently had seen
little fighting other than a rebel
attempt in May to seize the citys
airport. But Tuesdays barrage,
along with last weeks shelling
of the citys main railroad sta-
tion, has brought the war
painfully close to the city of
nearly 1 million. Ukrainian
forces have made advances
against rebels in nearby towns.
Fighting between Ukrainian
forces and pro-Russia separatists
also has been heavy around
Luhansk, the second-largest city
held by the rebels. Five people died
when artillery re hit a home for the
elderly there on Monday, local
authorities said.
This is done by terrorists, said
Andriy Lysenko, a spokesman for
Ukraines national security coun-
cil, referring to the shelling of
civilians. Under instructions from
the president, in residential areas
and communities where we have
Ukrainian citizens, we do not re
artillery or perform airstrikes.
But rebels accuse the government
of indiscriminately using heavy
artillery against residential neigh-
borhoods in areas under their con-
trol.
The Donetsk shelling sent about
50 frightened residents to huddle
for safety in an underground park-
ing lot, including Lubov Skorikh
who was distraught at discovering
that her husband Vladimir had been
killed.
I ran out. ... An old woman told
me, Look, there is a man lying
there. I didnt even think that could
be my husband. But then I saw the
shoes; they were his shoes, she
said, breaking down in tears.
Shelling adds to mounting civilian toll in Ukraine

WASHINGTON Spurred to
action by the downing of the
Malaysian airliner, the European
Union approved dramatically
tougher economic sanctions
Tuesday against Russia, includ-
ing an arms embargo and restric-
tions on state-owned banks.
President Barack Obama swiftly
followed with an expansion of
U.S. penalties targeting key sec-
tors of the Russian economy.
The coordinated sanctions were
aimed at increasing pressure on
Russian President Vladimir Putin
to end his countrys support for
separatists in eastern Ukraine
whom the West blames for taking
down the passenger jet nearly
two weeks ago. Obama and U.S.
allies also warned that Russia
was building up troops and
weaponry along its border with
Ukraine.
Today Russia is once again
isolating itself from the interna-
tional community, setting back
decades of genuine progress,
Obama said. It does not have to
be this way. This a choice Russia
and President Putin has made.
Tuesdays announcements fol-
lowed an intense lobbying effort
from Obama aimed at getting
European leaders to toughen
their penalties on Russia and
match earlier
U.S. sanc-
tions. Europe
has a far
stronger eco-
nomic rela-
tionship with
Russian than
the U.S., but
EU leaders
have been
reluctant to
impose harsh
penalties in
part because of
concern about
a negative
impact on
their own
economies.
Ho we v e r ,
Europes cal-
culus shifted sharply after a sur-
face-to-air missile brought down
the passenger jet, killing nearly
300 people including more than
200 Europeans. Obama and his
counterparts from Britain,
France, Germany and Italy nal-
ized plans to announce the broad-
er sanctions Monday in an unusu-
al joint video conference.
European Union President
Herman Van Rompuy and the
president of the European
Commission, Jose Manuel
Barroso, said the sanctions sent
a strong warning that Russias
destabilization of Ukraine can-
not be tolerated.

Chinese Cuisine
By Sara Moulton
At the peak of ripeness, an in-
season tomato is one of the
things that makes life worth liv-
ing. Happily, that season is upon
us. And this recipe is my ode to
that summer tomato.
All kinds of tomatoes are at the
best just now, big and small,
beefsteak and cherry. At the base
of this salad are sliced beefsteak
tomatoes, which are topped with
chopped small tomatoes and driz-
zled with a tomato-based vinai-
grette.
Given that this is an essence-
of-tomato salad, its crucial that
all of the tomatoes in the line-up
be as ripe as possible. The best
place to find them is at a farm
stand or farmers market. How do
you know if a tomato is ripe,
ripe, ripe? Smell the stem end;
its perfume should fairly shout,
Tomato! And once you get them
home, do not put them in the
fridge. It will kill both flavor and
texture.
You also can heighten that fla-
vor by pre-salting your tomatoes
and letting them drain for 15 to
20 minutes, as I have done here.
The salt not only seasons them,
but also pulls out water, thereby
concentrating their tomato-ness.
Ive teamed up the tomatoes
with one of their best friends, an
avocado, the creaminess of
which contrasts beautifully with
the tomatos acidity. Come to
think of it, tomatoes have many
best friends. Certainly, theres
not a fresh herb that doesnt play
nicely with tomatoes. So if you
dont have mint in the house, feel
free to substitute basil, cilantro,
chives, oregano, dill, parsley,
tarragon or any other fresh green
herb.
I took the dressing in an Asian
direction, adding ginger, soy
sauce and rice vinegar to a small
chopped tomato. Because the
chopped tomato adds so much
body to the dressing, you can cut
back on the usual amount of oil
without any problem. The dress-
ing still seems rich.
Topping the salad are some
thinly-sliced serrano chilies,
which provide a jolt of heat to
counterbalance the tomatos
sweetness. Obviously, it you
worry that they might be too hot,
just leave them out. The final
touch? Some chopped peanuts for
crunch. And thats my ode to
tomatoes.

1 firm ripe avocado, halved, pitted and
sliced
1/2 to 1 serrano chili, thinly sliced
crosswise (optional)
1/4 cup shredded fresh mint
1/4 cup chopped roasted peanuts
Sprinkle the beefsteak tomato slices
lightly on both sides with salt, then
arrange them on a plate and let them stand
for 15 to 20 minutes. In a small strainer,
toss the chopped tomatoes with a bit of
salt and set them over the sink or a bowl to
drain for the same period.
While the tomatoes are draining, in a
blender combine the small tomato, garlic,
ginger, soy sauce, rice vinegar and oil.
Blend until smooth. Season with salt and
pepper.
Pat the tomato slices dry and on a platter
arrange alternating slices of the beefsteak
tomatoes and avocado.
Drizzle the tomatoes and avocados with
most of the dressing, then top them even-
ly with the chopped small tomatoes.
Scatter the serrano slices, mint and
peanuts evenly over the top. Serve the
remaining dressing on the side.

Slice em and salt em.
Thats really all a seasonally delicious
tomato needs. Though if you really want to
gussy it up, you could add a bit of pepper, a
splash of olive oil, maybe a sprinkle of
balsamic vinegar. Just enough of each to
highlight the sweetly acidic avor of the
juicy tomato esh.
Still, summer tends to bring an abun-
dance of tomatoes, and after a while we nd
ourselves hankering for something with a
little more oomph. And a salad just isnt
cutting it.
So we couldnt help but dream up a few
other ways to play to a tomatos strengths.
We started by turning them into a spicy-
sweet jam that is a perfect accompaniment
to cheeses and cured meats. Or try it in
place of ketchup on a burger (or over any
grilled meat, for that matter). Its also
amazing added to a grilled cheese.
Looking for something a bit more
robust? Try our recipe for cheese-stuffed
tomatoes, which lls hollowed out toma-
toes with a mix of breadcrumbs and
Monterey Jack cheese, then bakes them
until bubbling.
SPICY-SWEET TOMATO JAM
Start to nish: 1 hour, plus cooling
Makes 3 cups
8 large tomatoes, diced
2 large yellow onions, diced
1/2 to 1 teaspoon red pepper akes
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons minced fresh rosemary
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
In a large saute pan, combine all the
ingredients. Bring to a simmer and cook,
stirring frequently, for 1 hour, or until
thick and jammy. Allow to cool. Store in an
airtight container in the refrigerator for up
to 3 weeks.

CHEESE-STUFFED TOMATOES
Start to nish: 30 minutes
Servings: 4
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 cup fresh breadcrumbs (about 3 slices
bread, nely chopped in a food processor)
1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh
cilantro
4 large tomatoes
Heat the oven to 400 F. Coat a 9-by-9-
inch baking pan with cooking spray.
In a medium skillet over medium-high,
heat the oil. Add the onion, garlic and
coriander. Cook for 5 minutes, or just until
tender. Stir in the breadcrumbs, cheese,
salt, pepper and cilantro.
Cut a 1/2 inch slice off the top of each
tomato. Use a melon baller to scoop out the
insides of the tomato, leaving the outer
esh intact. Spoon a quarter of the cheese
mixture into each tomato. Arrange the lled
tomatoes in the prepared pan. Bake for 8 to
10 minutes, or until tender and bubbly.

So many pasta salads start with a great
base perfectly cooked pasta and a bevy of
crisp, fresh vegetables but fall apart
when it comes to the dressing.
To us, the perfect pasta salad dressing
requires a balance of savory, tangy avors,
with just a hint of sweetness. To create that
for this salad, we start with oil-packed sun-
dried tomatoes, which provide a deeply
savory, rich avor. For tang, we puree the
tomatoes with a mix of light mayonnaise
and plain Greek yogurt. Finally, just a table-
spoon of brown sugar ties everything
together with a subtle sweetness.
For our vegetables, we went with red bell
pepper and fennel along with a host of
fresh herbs but you could substitute what-
ever vegetables you prefer. Lightly
blanched carrots or green beans, as well as
chopped radishes and raw corn kernels
would be a ne start.
SUN-DRIED
TOMATO MACARONI SALAD
Start to nish: 2 1/2 hours (30 minutes
active)
Servings: 10
16 ounces dried small pasta (such as elbow
or farfalle)
1/2 cup oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes,
drained
1/3 cup white balsamic vinegar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup light mayonnaise
1/2 cup fat-free plain Greek yogurt
1 red bell pepper, cored and diced
1 fennel bulb, trimmed and diced
8 ounces fresh mozzarella pearls (very
small balls)
3 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano
3 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme
3 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
Add the pasta and cook according to package
directions. Drain the pasta and spread on a
rimmed baking sheet to cool. While the pasta
cooks, prepare the dressing. In a blender,
combine the sun-dried tomatoes, vinegar,
salt, pepper, brown sugar, mayonnaise and
yogurt. Blend until smooth, then set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the dressing
with the cooled pasta, bell pepper, fennel,
mozzarella and herbs. For best avor, cover
and chill for at least 2 hours before serving.

The summer is a wonderful time. Which is
why it would be a shame to offer up just
basic grilled burgers at your cookout.
To create a burger equal to the season, we
started with a burger already pushing the
envelope the juicy Lucy burger! These
not-so-ordinary cheeseburgers tuck the
cheese into the inside of the burger. Thats
a fine start for our recipe, but not quite
over-the-top enough.
So we mixed a few other toppings into
the meat itself chopped jalapenos and
minced garlic along with our slab of Jack
cheese. Thats when our patties hit the
flames.
When the burgers are nearly done, we add
corn kernels and another slab of cheese to
the tops, then pop them on to toasted
onion buns. Dont forget hot pepper relish
and capicola (or other salami) to finally
have a burger with enough flavor to earn its
place at the cookout table.
JAZZY LUCY JACK BURGERS
Start to finish: 30 minutes
Servings: 4
1 1/2 pounds ground chuck
2 tablespoons chopped pickled jalapeno
pepper slices
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon kosher salt
8 ounces Monterey Jack cheese, cut into
8 slices
1/2 cup corn kernels
4 toasted onion buns
4 slices capicola (or other salami)
Hot pepper relish
Heat a grill to medium-high.
In a medium bowl, gently mix the beef
with the jalapenos, garlic, salt and black
pepper. Avoid overworking the beef.
Divide the mixture into quarters, then form
each into a thick patty.
Carefully slice each patty in half hori-
zontally, separating the halves. Top the
bottom halves with a slice of cheese, then
replace the top half of the patty, pinching
the meat together around the outside to
form a single patty again. Be sure the
cheese is entirely enclosed inside the
patty.
Using a vegetable oil-soaked paper towel
held with tongs, oil the grill grates. Grill
the patties for 5 to 7 minutes per side.
Spoon a quarter of the corn onto each
burger, then top each with one of the
remaining slices of cheese. Cook for
another minute, then remove from the grill
and allow to rest for 5 minutes. The cheese
in the center will be very hot and must rest
to avoid burns. Assemble your burgers by
placing each patty in a bun and topping
with a slice of capicola and some hot pep-
per relish.

insurance on the entire property and there is little the city
can do, said Susanna Chan, deputy director of the San Mateo
Public Works Department.
For about 30 of the lagoon residents, its possible detach-
ing their docks or decks from the main portion of their
home will lift the insurance mandate, Chan said. However,
there is no present remedy for the remaining 110 homes,
Gershaneck and Chan said.
Kathleen Schaefer, a FEMA engineer who oversees
Northern California, said the agencys standards require
homes with even one pillar in water, like those on the
Marina Lagoon, to obtain ood insurance and that rening
the map is an ongoing process.
Were always striving to make our maps more accurate
and it happens, occasionally, when ... in the process of
changing the map there was something overlooked. And if
when we nd it, if that situation arises, we want to be sure
that we correct it. Because we try and reect the true ood
risk, Schaefer said.
For the rst time, the 2015 FIRM will reect residual
ooding, which is when a storm event would lead to creeks
and drainage ooding, Chan said.
Weve been basically cheated, simply put. Because the
work to establish a bar was intense and it involved the city
putting together a concise plan that would attain the
requests stated by FEMA. And then to have them come back,
less than two years later, and come back and say the bar is
higher, I think that is absolutely ludicrous for someone
to just arbitrarily take that up, Gershaneck said.
For more than 10,000 San Mateo homeowners, ood
insurance woes started in 2001 when FEMA drafted the
citys rst FIRM. It identied properties that are subject to
tidal ooding during a 100-year storm, a federal standard for
areas where there is a 1 percent chance of a major ood every
year, and required those with federally backed mortgages to
obtain ood insurance.
The city spent years 13 years and $23 million undergoing
pump station and levee repairs at the behest of FEMA t o
remove about 8,000 of the homeowners out of the map and
is currently in the process of working to remove another
1,200.
Despite the hard work, there is little the city can now do
for the 140 Marina Lagoon homeowners, Chan said.
It was a at-out shock because of the reality that when
you do something that youre asked to do and all those ts
were crossed and all those is were dotted and those goals
were obtained, and then to be told those goals werent good
enough, thats dismay, Gershaneck said.
To make matters worse, Gershaneck said lagoon home-
owners were able to cancel their ood insurance in 2012 and
the lapse in coverage will likely lead to even higher premi-
ums than before.
City engineering and ood control
The lagoon is below the level of the Bay, fed by about
four creeks and serves as a ood control facility designed to
receive storm water, Chan said. Its well controlled by
pumps that allow the city to lower the water level in the
winter and bring it back up in the summer for recreational
purposes, Chan said.
Chan and Gershaneck argue FEMAs analysis is awed as
the summer lagoon level replicates what it would be during
a 100-year ood that would hit during a winter storm.
We talked to FEMA and they understand that, but they
have that requirement or they have that policy that if you
have attached structures or attached components that extend
into the water, thats a special ood zone and the entire
structure is required to carry ood insurance, Chan said. So
I dont think we have any homes that are at risk of being
ooded, theres just that requirement that insurance compa-
nies have to follow.
FEMA regulations are uniformly established throughout
the country by Congress and the emergency agency must
ultimately use taxpayer money when responding to natural
disasters and helping those who dont carry insurance,
Schaefer said.
Across the nation, oods represent the largest disaster
losses, the most expensive disaster losses, Schaefer said.
I think its important that everyone recognize were adja-
cent to the Bay and although we havent seen a major ood
event in the recent past, we do know that they can occur and
oods do happen.
Blasphemy and a sin
Rich Hedges lives near the lagoon and helped spearhead
the Shoreview neighborhoods efforts to form an assess-
ment district that raised $7.5 million to help the city with
infrastructure repairs before 2012. Hedges said he wont per-
sonally be pulled back into the map, but FEMAs mandates
are unfairly forcing select homeowners to pay for disasters
across the country.
This is more of an issue of politics, the FEMA ood
insurance in my opinion, than it is about reality, Hedges
said. And its always troubling to see a neighbor disadvan-
taged, but to see neighbors disadvantaged that have worked
so hard to not only help themselves, but to help others
seems that its a blasphemy and a sin.
Even more troubling for Hedges are the ramications high
ood insurance rates could have on the city as a whole. If
more than 50 percent of a home is damaged in another inci-
dent or if a property owner wants to remodel, they wouldnt
be allowed to rebuild unless it was above the ood zone,
Hedges said.
Its a problem with which the city must rightfully concern
itself, Hedges said, as increasing insurance rates are bad for
the entire community.
My main concern is in North Shoreview and in other
areas that when this ood insurance gets so expensive, peo-
ple will start leaving their homes, Hedges said. Those
people with high mortgages, its a working class area, peo-
ple are already trapped, this is a serious problem for the
city.
City efforts
The city is continuing with efforts to remove about 1,200
homeowners in the North Shoreview and North Central
neighborhoods from the map. As part of the budget, the
City Council approved $1 million toward funding the
design of improvements at two pump stations and along the
Coyote Point Bayfront levees, which was estimated to ulti-
mately cost around $22.5 million in 2009 and 2010, Chan
said. There is no identied source of funding at this time and
the affected communities will likely need to form another
assessment district, Chan said.
For residents who were forewarned and bought ood insur-
ance before of the release of the FIRM in 2001, their insur-
ance rates typically started in the low to mid-hundreds and
increased over time. For Cynthia Newton, a North
Shoreview resident, her payments started at $300 a year in
2001 but it jumped to $1,200 as of last year.
Then there are stories like Dave and Dana Jordan who
bought their home in late 2012 and paid nearly $7,000 for
ood insurance this year.
Its just not right. Nobody is better off than the least of
us, Hedges said. And I think a city should be judged on
how they help the least of the people in the city and espe-
cially the least of the people in the city that are trying to do
the right thing.

ty tax bills later this year with servic-
es starting as soon as spring 2015.
After the count, the council voted
unanimously with Councilwoman
Diane Howard recusing herself because
of a nancial interest, to waive the rst
reading.
But while the tallies favored the 15-
year districts creation, not every
property owner is in line with the
plan.
Attorney Richard Keyes, who owns a
commercial building with his wife,
said property owners should keep side-
walks and buildings clean themselves
as he does rather than relying on an
outside provider.
I think to bring in layers and layers
of people not familiar with the city is
partially an insult to what Redwood
City can do and what they are doing,
Keyes said.
Attorney Kevin Frederick, co-owner
of a Middleeld Road building, said its
unfair that small businesses that dont
require marketing and signs to draw
clients cant opt out from the assess-
ments the same as public agencies and
tax-exempt organizations like Kaiser
and the city.
Why not make exclusions for us lit-
tle guys who arent getting jack out of
this? Frederick asked.
Eric Lochtefeld, owner of the Fox
Theatre and member of the CBID steer-
ing committee, said the two oppo-
nents should have attended town hall
meetings to participate in the process
and said the effort is a chance for
another successful public-private part-
nership.
This is an amazing opportunity to
lift up our downtown, Lochtefeld said.
This is our chance to solve our own
problems.
City ofcials proposed the improve-
ment district as a way to keep up a
level of service to a growing popula-
tion in a popular downtown now that
redevelopment agencies no longer
exist. Redwood City spends about
$2.5 million on maintenance and serv-
ices downtown; the district assess-
ments will add to rather than replace
that allocation.
The district includes the downtown
core bordered by Maple Street,
Veterans and Brewster avenues, El
Camino Real and the railroad tracks.
The area includes 22 parcels with 147
property owners. The amount assessed
is based on a formula that considers
size and linear frontage.
The assessment can be renewed in
20-year increments and will generate
$795,781 in annual benet revenue.
Of that, 53 percent is allocated for
sidewalk operations and beautication
and 20 percent for marketing. Funds
will also cover parking management,
dog waste receptacles next to apart-
ment buildings and condos, possible
video surveillance, installation of
hanging plants and flowers.
Administration costs will be
$120,000 and $38,781 of that is allo-
cated for overhead expenses and city
and county fees.
Amy Buckmaster, CEO of the
Redwood City-San Mateo County
Chamber of Commerce, called the dis-
trict an investment that will provide
real returns.
Yet, Victor McKeever who owns a
Victorian house downtown where he
lives with his wife, said the assess-
ment equates more than a 200 percent
tax hike which he called questionable.
Thats just unconscionable and I
dont believe any court would allow
that to go forward, McKeever said.
There may be an opportunity to
exclude the McKeevers from the
assessment, City Manager Bob Bell
said.
DISTRICT
was that PG&E did not prioritize as
high-risk and properly assess many of
its oldest natural gas pipelines, which
ran through urban and residential
areas.
PG&Es next scheduled court appear-
ance is a status conference before U.S.
District Judge Thelton Henderson in
San Francisco on Aug. 18.
If the utility is convicted, the 28
charges each carry a potential maxi-
mum ne of either $500,000 or twice
the amount of either PG&Es gain or
the victims loss from the alleged
crimes. The indictment alleges that
PG&Es gain was $281 million and the
victims loss was $565 million, Haag
said.
PG&E said in a statement, We have
not yet seen the superseding indict-
ment. However, based on all of the evi-
dence we have seen to date, we do not
believe that the charges are warranted
and that, even where mistakes were
made, employees were acting in good
faith to provide customers with safe
and reliable energy.
PG&E also said, San Bruno was a
tragic accident. Weve taken accounta-
bility and are deeply sorry.
San Bruno Mayor Jim Ruane said,
The new criminal charges demon-
strate a pattern of deceit by PG&E. The
indictment shows federal prosecutors
are taking the strongest steps to
ensure PG&E is brought to justice
based on the evidence of criminal
actions and gross negligence.
The indictment comes a day after
Ruane and other San Bruno ofcials
asked Gov. Jerry Brown to remove
Commissioner Michael Peevey from
the presidency of the California Public
Utilities Commission on the ground
that Peevey and his staff improperly
exchanged private emails with PG&E
ofcials on matters being investigated
by the CPUC.
San Bruno also asked the commis-
sion itself to disqualify Peevey from
acting on three proceedings related to
the San Bruno explosion and to sanc-
tion PG&E for allegedly violating a
rule against private communications.
The cozy relationship between
PG&E and the CPUC that led to this
preventable tragedy must end now,
Ruane said Tuesday.
In one of the proceedings, the PUC
is considering how much to ne PG&E
for record-keeping and safety-compli-
ance failures.
San Bruno has urged the commission
to levy the maximum allowable penal-
ty and ne, a total of $2.45 billion in
after-tax funds.
PG&E
The report also came as Jones cam-
paigns for Proposition 45, a measure
on the November ballot that would
give his ofce the power to stop rate
increases.
Health insurers said Jones analysis
of rates is faulty because the plans
offered through the state marketplace
in 2014 are different under the federal
health law. They include sub-
sidies for low-income
Californians that reduce the
premiums and requirements
that the policies cover specif-
ic treatments such as materni-
ty care and mental health
services.
The (Affordable Care Act)
ushered in a new era of health
care coverage, opening up
access to comprehensive
health care to millions who
previously could not obtain
or could not afford it, and
California has seen tremen-
dous success in implementing
the law, California
Association of Health Plans
Executive Vice President
Charles Bacchi said in a pre-
pared statement. And, while
some paid more for this
expanded health care cover-
age, many Californians paid
less and beneted from subsi-
dies.
Jones said many of the
requirements were already in
place in California, and he pointed to a
lack of competition in the marketplace
as a reason for price increases.
Opponents of Proposition 45 also
object to provisions allowing third-
party attorneys to contest rates and
win payouts if they prevail.
But Jones countered that without a
measure like Proposition 45, we are
going to continue to see rates going up
simply because there is no authority to
reject excessive rates, there is no
requirement to require justifying their
rates, Jones said.
Covered California, the state health
insurance marketplace, is scheduled to
announce this week which plans will
be offered on the exchange and their
prices.
Robin Swanson, a spokeswoman for
Proposition 45 opponents, says the
new report is as outdated and mislead-
ing as the ballot initiative because of
the new price gures.
Jones said he expects health insurers
to keep rate increases lower this year
to prevent a voter backlash in
November.

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip Israel
unleashed its heaviest air and artillery
assault of the Gaza war on Tuesday, destroy-
ing key symbols of Hamas control, shut-
ting down the territorys only power plant
and leaving at least 128 Palestinians dead
on the bloodiest day of the 22-day conict.
Despite devastating blows that left the
packed territorys 1.7 million people cut off
from power and water and sent the overall
death toll soaring past 1,200, Hamas shad-
owy military leader remained deant as he
insisted that the Islamic militants would
not cease re until its demands are met.
The comments by Mohammed Deif in an
audiotape broadcast on a Hamas satellite TV
channel cast new doubt on international
cease-fire efforts. Aides to Palestinian
President Mahmoud Abbas said Egypt was
trying to bring Israeli and Palestinian dele-
gations together in Cairo for new talks in
which Hamas would be presented this time
as part of the Palestinian team.
Israels nal objective in Gaza remained
unclear a day after Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu warned Israelis to be prepared for
a prolonged war.
Netanyahu is under pressure from hawkish
members of his coalition to topple Hamas
in an all-out offensive, but has not let on
whether he plans to go beyond destroying
Hamas rocket launchers, weapons depots
and military tunnels used to inltrate Israel
and smuggle weapons.
Dozens of Israeli airstrikes and heavy
tank shelling hit areas across Gaza, which
was plunged into complete darkness
Tuesday night after a strike on its sole
power plant set a fuel tank ablaze.
In the sprawling Jebaliya refugee camp in
northern Gaza, at least 24 people 10 of
them from the same family were killed
and dozens wounded in a barrage of tank re,
Hamas health ofcials said.
Tanks were ring in all directions and
shrapnel was flying, said Moussa al-
Mabhouh, a volunteer for Gazas Civil
Defense. Smoke was rising from houses
and from nearby workshops.

WASHINGTON Democrats and
Republicans in Congress vowed urgent sup-
port Tuesday for a $225 million missile
defense package for Israel, boosting the
likelihood that legislation will clear
Congress before lawmakers begin a month-
long vacation at weeks end.
Lets stop playing games, said Sen.
Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., calling the assis-
tance a necessity for the life-or-death
struggle Israel faces.
Graham and other supporters made their
comments as Israel unleashed its heaviest
bombardment yet in the four-week war
against Hamas in the Gaza Strip. At least
1,200 Palestinians have been killed,
including more than 100 Tuesday, according
to Palestinian health ofcials. Israel has
reported more than 50 soldiers and three
civilians killed.
Amid a daily barrage of Palestinian rock-
et re, Israels Iron Dome missile defense
system has been credited with knocking
hundreds of missiles out of the sky. While
the Obama administration has pressed for a
cease-re, it also has backed Israels desire
to replenish its missile defense stockpiles.
Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel extended
Israels request to Congress last week.
Despite Grahams admonition, neither
Republicans who control the House nor
Democrats who command a Senate majority
have yet to announce plans for a vote on a
stand-alone bill on the issue.
In the House, majority Republicans
unveiled a measure to cope with an influx
of younger immigrants reaching the
United States illegally from Central
America, and said funds for Israel would be
handled in a separate bill that has yet to be
made public.
At the White House, press secretary Josh
Earnest expressed disappointment at the
lack of funding for Israel in the House meas-
ure.
In the Senate, Democrats have combined
money for Israel, border security and wild-
fire assistance into one measure. But
Republicans oppose it because of a dis-
agreement over provisions relating to the
immigrants now ooding into the country
from the south.
Despite the apparent deadlock, there were
signs of willingness to compromise.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-
Nev., said he was prepared to consider a
stand-alone bill providing money for
Israel. Across the Capitol, numerous
Republican aides said the House would like-
ly pass any legislation the Senate approves
on the subject.
