SACRAMENTO The state
Legislature on Sunday approved
Californias $108 billion budget
for the coming fiscal year, mov-
ing swiftly to beat a midnight
deadline and adopting the high-
est general fund spending plan in
state history.
The legislation, SB852, passed
55-24 in the Assembly and 25-11
in the Senate, mostly along parti-
san lines.
The unusual Fathers Day leg-
islative session came on the last
day the Legislature had to meet its
constitutional deadline to send a
balanced budget to Gov. Jerry
Brown.
The nal plan for the scal year
starting July 1 meets Browns
demands for a rainy day fund and
paying down debt while allocating
some of the surplus to programs
benefiting lower-income
Californians.
Assemblywoman Nancy
Skinner, D-Berkeley, highlighted
some of the additional spending
that was a priority for Democratic
lawmakers, including $264 mil-
lion for preschool and day care for
low-income families that eventu-
ally will cover half of all 4-year-
olds in the state.
She said schools, libraries, art
programs, student nancial aid and
welfare-to-work programs were
among the many state-supported
services that will see more money
in the coming scal year.
The investments in this budget
are the most signicant in years,
said Skinner, chairwoman of the
Assembly Budget Committee.
She also noted the money dedi-
cated to start paying down the
hundreds of billions of dollars in
state debts and liabilities, saying
the budget will put California on
strong scal footing.
In the Senate, President Pro Tem
Darrell Steinberg recalled the
remarkable turn-around from what
he described as the bleak winter

The Coupa sign is installed at the companys new headquarters in
San Mateo.
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Raising $40 million in venture
capital in March, expanding to
more than 430 customers and
employing nearly 250 people set
the stage for Coupa Software to
move into its new headquarters
from downtown San Mateo to
Siebel Systems former headquar-
ters at the Crossroads of Highway
101 and State Route 92.
Founded in 2006, Coupa is a
cloud-based procurement applica-
tion that provides companies with
a platform to do more than order
operational equipment; it allows
companies to analyze the way
they do business, said Coupa CEO
Rob Bernshteyn.
One of the things we take the
most pride in here, and I say this
on behalf of a couple hundred
employees the pride comes in
getting our customers to success-
ful outcomes, Bernshteyn said.
Theres been a lot of software
sold over the years most cus-
tomers can never honestly say
that theyve gotten measurable,
successful value out of that soft-
ware. So for us, were actually real-
ly proud that were measuring the
outcomes.
Coupas application empowers
businesses to be fiscally con-
scious by tracking how their
employees purchase products
essential to their jobs and, by
directly linking buyers to suppli-
ers, customers are able to leverage
savings, Bernshteyn said.

Burlingames proposed total
budget of approximately $100
million for the 2014-15 scal year
looks sound, city ofcials say.
Nearly four years after the of-
cial end of the recession,
Burlingame nds itself in a rela-
tively healthy fiscal position,
with many of the citys revenue
meeting or exceeding levels expe-
rienced prior to the downturn.
Because key tax
revenue, includ-
ing property,
sales and hotel
taxes, have
risen over the
last few fiscal
years, the need
for additional
reductions in
city services
has been negated, according to
City Manager Lisa Goldman.
In the current scal year the
city has made signicant progress
on the goals established by the
City Council in April 2013 and
revised and reconrmed in January
2014, City Manager Lisa
Goldman said in a prepared state-
ment. Physical improvements in
the city range from completion of
a majority of the Burlingame
Avenue Streetscape project to the
opening of a community garden
and a new pump station.
Burlingame budget in good shape
Biggest concerns are funding pensions, infrastructure projects

Resignation of mayor
sought over dog poop incident
SAN MARINO The mayor of a
wealthy California town who was
caught on camera tossing dog poop
onto the walkway of a political oppo-
nent is being asked to resign by resi-
dents who say he smeared their image.
During a City Council meeting on
Wednesday, San Marino residents
blasted Mayor Dennis Kneier and
called for him to step down, even
though he has apologized.
Police cited him for littering, which
can carry a ne of up to $1,000.
The mayor of the tidy Los Angeles
suburb says he found a bag of dog waste
on a parkway Saturday and tossed it
onto the front walkway of a home.
The homeowner, Philip Lao, is a
political opponent. He recognized the
mayor on surveillance video and called
police.
Cop: Man with gun tattoo
had real gun in waistband
MADISON, Maine A man with a
realistic-looking tattoo of a gun on his
stomach had the real thing tucked into
his waistband when he was arrested,
police said.
Police told the Morning Sentinel
that 41-year-old Michael Smith, of
Norridgewock, showed up at a sher-
i ff s deputys home Thursday
night. He was crying and had been
drinking, authorities said.
Smith told police he had a ght with
his ex-girlfriend and had stolen pre-
scription narcotics from her, authori-
ties said.
He was charged with stealing drugs,
and his gun was conscated. He was
released from jail on $1,000 bail. His
phone has been disconnected, and he
couldnt be reached for comment.
Madison police Ofcer Eric Bronson
said Smith was carrying a .40-caliber
Glock but isnt facing any gun charges
because Maine is an open-carry state
and his weapon was visible.
Smiths next court date is Aug. 6.
Smith made headlines in March when
members of a tree removal crew hed
told to clear off his property reported
that he had a gun. But the gun turned
out to be his tattoo.
He told the newspaper then that the
tattoo had never been a problem
before. He wasnt charged in that case.
Yells for Daddy by
school yield surprising nd
FAIRFIELD, Conn. Police say a
Connecticut woman became concerned
when she heard someone calling
Daddy repeatedly near a school. But
when she began looking for a child,
she instead found a large green parrot
up in a tree.
Faireld police Lt. James Perez says
the re department used a long pole to
remove the bird from the tree at
Holland Hill School on Thursday. The
parrot then ew onto a bamboo stand.
Fireghters chased it out and an animal
control ofcer caught it in a net and
brought it to a shelter.
Perez says the bird was talking non-
stop saying, Daddy, hello, what!
and other words.
The bird was found about one mile
from its home. It was later reunited
with its owner, who had reported it
missing.
Florida woman accused
of stealing 7 lobster tails
DELAND, Fla. A central Florida
woman faces petty theft charges after
ofcials say she stuffed seven frozen
lobster tails in her pants and walked
out of a Publix supermarket without
paying for them.
A loss prevention officer at the
DeLand Publix told police he watched
30-year-old Nichole Ann Reed put the
lobster tails into her pants on
Wednesday evening. He says she
walked around the store before leaving.
Police found her about an hour later.
Reed told them she went to the store
with the intention of stealing the lob-
ster tails, which were valued at $83.99.
According to a police report, she said
she planned to trade the lobster with a
friend to get either a Chinese buffet or
the prescription pain medication
Dilaudid.
She posted $250 bail.

T
he steam engine is an external
combustion engine. Its develop-
ment goes back as far as the first
century, however, the development of
the first piston steam engine didnt
occur unt i l 1690. Invent i on of i t s
application was slow but many insights
into the use of energy to help mankind
get places and build things were pro-
gressi ng. In t he 1700s, James Wat t
made great strides in perfecting the
steam engine. The steam engine used
coal or wood at first to generate the
steam and the steam needed to be pro-
duced in a huge container in the early
stages of development. Problem. To o
big and cumbersome. Eventually, auto-
mobi l es were bui l t usi ng smal l er
engines but the startup was time con-
sumi ng and expensi ve. Most of t he
autos being built were one of a kind and
expensi ve. The average working man
made only between $300 and $400 a
year and most prices of autos were more
t han $5, 000. The auto became a status
symbol because only rich people could
buy them.
In 1885, Karl Benz invented the first
automobile using many of the concepts
of the steam engine without the steam.
Petrol was found to be a great improve-
ment over running the pistons for an
automobile but the steam engine con-
cept persisted and the race was on as to
what type of engine would succeed in
being the main type of locomotion for
the roads. People liked the freedom of
driving and they wanted a reliable and
inexpensive form of vehicle to do this
in. Many people jumped on the band-
wagon to produce something that would
catch on.
In the early 1900s, more than 1,000
businesses sprung up to supply an auto-
mobile for the public. Over the years,
cars l i ke t he Cord, St ut z, Frankl i n,
Maxwell, Pierce-Arrow, Duesenberg ,
Hupmobi l e, Ol ds, Chevrol et , Ford,
Studebaker, et c. became wel l -known
brands.
The first mass-produced auto that tast-
ed success was the one that Ransom E.
Olds made in the early 1900s and it pro-
duced 425 cars that year. It was the first
high-powered volume gasoline powered
automobile. Olds was acquired by
General Motors in 1908. In 1904, the
Maxwel l -Bri scoe Company of
Tarrytown, New York, was formed. Sales
were good, but a fire in 1907 forced a
move to New Castle, Ind. Wal t er
Flanders acquired and reorganized the
company as Maxwell Motor Company,
Inc. , and moved t o Det roi t . The
Maxwell was one of the top three sellers
for a while but competition forced it to
be sold to a former employee, Walter
Chrysl er i n 1927. The Chrysler
Corporation was then formed.
Henry Ford jumped into the competi-
tion and began producing his autos in
1903. He produced many prototypes
over the next few years until he hit
upon hi s successful product i on, t he
earth-shaking model, the Model T, i n
1908. Bei ng very i nnovat i ve, Ford
developed the moving assembly line to
put cars together and, by doing this,
blew the competition away for many
years. The Model T was the mass-pro-
duced car on assembly lines with com-
pletely interchangeable parts and mar-
keted to the middle class. The Model T
was started with a hand crank. This was
very dangerous to say the least. My
uncle Bill lost his front teeth when his
crank kicked back into his face while
trying to start the engine. The auto had
a flywheel magneto that produced the
spark. A battery, added in 1928, was
added for more dependable spark to the
spark plugs. Electric headlights were
added in 1915 and, after 1919, most cars
were equipped with an electric starter.
The t wo-speed t ransmi ssi on wi t h a
reverse gear later evolved into a three-
speed stick shift. The automatic trans-
mission was developed later and was

With phase one complete on its
facilities construction work, the
South San Francisco Unified
School District is moving on to
phases two and three of its $162
million bond measure.
This summer, the district will
replace portables at four elemen-
tary school sites and will soon
move into replacing Buri Buri and
Parkway elementary schools.
Updating facilities to meet
Americans with Disabilities Act
standards is also part of the bond
measure passed in 2010.
As part of the plan, new sports
facilities are coming to South San
Francisco and El Camino high
schools. The new football field at
El Camino has been completed.
Other teams on the Peninsula
didnt want to participate in
games on our fields, said
Superintendent Alejandro Hogan.
They were really bad.
In addition to the new fields, a
new science wing was installed at
El Camino, along with Alta Loma
Middle School. At Alta Loma,
there was new construction of
five buildings. At El Camino, the
district celebrated the grand
opening of its new science wing
April 15. The new two-story
building consists of six science
classrooms and two prep rooms
with all new furnishings.
Overall, he 2010 bond measured
was aimed at providing safe, mod-
ern classrooms and for education-
al support facilities by replacing
deteriorated portable classrooms
with permanent classrooms. It
included repairing deteriorated
roofs, providing disabled stu-
dents access, upgrading science
labs, libraries, technology and
restrooms. It also focused on
enhancing safety, fire detection
and security systems. Energy effi-
ciency, replacing outdated electri-
cal, plumbing and heating sys-
tems were part of the package as
well.
The district is also adding more
technology with the upcoming
Common Core Standards, that
shift to more team collaborative
learning and technology in the
classroom with computerized
Smarter Balanced tests, Hogan
said.
When I came to the district,
the infrastructure was dismal, he
said. Were already on our way to
high capability (with Internet).
Updates to the technology
infrastructure should be done by
this December.
The real test is next year for
the Common Core improve-
ments, he said.
Meanwhile, board President
Maurice Goodman said he is
excited about the changes hap-
pening throughout the district as
a result of Measure J and the show
of support and trust it shows the
community has in the work board
members do.
We continue to have the low-
est tax rate in our county, he
wrote in an email. We have a
very involved and dedicated over-
sight committee and a director
(Larry Scott) that is by far one of
the best in the region at what he
does.
Construction is expected to
wrap up in the 2016-17 school
year.

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

Who Or What Is Gladstone And
Why This Is Important

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Burlingame could be following the path
of other cities along the Peninsula and
adding expanded restrictions on smoking.
On Monday, the City Council will vote
on whether to introduce amending the
Burlingame Municipal Code to expand the
list of city facilities where smoking is pro-
hibited, specically concentrating on parks
and related areas. City owned or operated
athletic elds and within 25 feet of city-
owned parking lots, Bayfront Park or Mills
Creek Canyon Park were added to the list of
prohibited smoking areas.
I do think that thats the wave of the
future, said Vice Mayor Terry Nagel. This
is just an incremental increase. There is
overwhelming evidence against smoking.
The city already restricts smoking in
places like the Burlingame Golf Center,
school property, Murray Field, restaurants,
retail shops, in city-owned vehicles and
other areas, according to the report.
The most recent update of the citys
smoking regulation was in 2006, with
other sections retaining language from
1993. Staff has determined a need to expand
the list of city facilities where smoking is
prohibited to address secondhand smoke
impacts on children and the elderly and to
preserve the park-going experience for the
public. In addition, litter impacts from cig-
arette butts have proven to be a burden on
city maintenance in parks and parking lots.
Cigarette butts may be ingested by animals
and small children and also contribute to
the burden on city storm water processing,
according to the report.
Still, some coun-
cilmembers are wary of
putting too many restric-
tions on smoking,
including Councilman
Ricardo Ortiz.
Im kind of conflicted
on that one, he said. I
think we can go over-
board on that. I dont
think smoking should
happen in certain areas, but it makes me
nervous when it involves patios and pri-
vate property.
Smoking isnt regulated in private resi-
dences, except when used as a child care or
health care facility, 65 percent of guest
room accommodations in a hotel, motel or
similar lodging establishment, areas of the
lobby in a hotel, motel or other lodging
establishment, meeting and banquet rooms
in hotels, motels or other lodging estab-
lishments, retail tobacco stores, medical
research or treatment sites, patient smok-
ing areas in long-term health care facilities
and other areas.
Although other nearby cities like South
San Francisco have started to pass and pro-
pose ordinances on electronic cigarettes,
Burlingame has yet to touch that issue yet,
ofcials say.

ments, go to burlingame.org

Health officials warn
of whooping cough epidemic
California is currently experiencing a
whooping cough epidemic, according to the
California Department of Public Health.
Public health ofcials said more than 800
new cases of pertussis, also known as
whooping cough, have been reported in the
last two weeks.
Some 3,458 cases of whooping cough had
been reported to the health department this
year as of June 10 - more cases than were
reported in all of 2013, according to depart-
ment ofcials.
Health ofcials said whooping cough is
cyclical and that cases peak every three to
ve years. The last peak was in 2010, so this
year could be another peak year, ofcials say.
Infants and young children are most vulner-
able to whooping cough.
Symptoms vary by age but include a cough
and runny nose for one or two weeks. The
cough then worsens and children may experi-
ence rapid coughing spells that end with a
whooping sound.
In infants, symptoms may not include an
apparent cough, but could include episodes in
which the childs face turns red or purple.
In adults, symptoms may include a persist-
ent cough for several weeks.
DUI patrols in
Burlingame net two arrests
Saturdays multi-agency DUI patrols in
Burlingame netted two arrests, law enforce-
ment ofcials said.
The South San Francisco Police
Department, the Pacica Police Department,
the San Bruno Police Department and the
Burlingame Police Department conducted the
patrols.
Ciro Amore, a 31-year-old Las Vegas resi-
dent, and Yiven Gomez, a 57-year-old Daly
City resident were arrested on suspicion of
DUI, according to law enforcement ofcials.
Forty-five vehicles were stopped and
screened and ve drivers were administered
sobriety tests during the saturation patrols.
South San Francisco robbers
pistol-whip man unconscious
Aman was pistol whipped during an armed
robbery in South San Francisco early Sunday
morning, police said.
At about 12:30 a.m. two masked men
armed with guns approached a 41-year-old
man who had just parked his vehicle in the
400 block of Cypress Avenue, about a block
from the South San Francisco Caltrain sta-
tion, police said.
The suspects were both armed with shot-
guns and one of them also had a handgun,
police said.
The suspects forced the victim out of his
vehicle and assaulted him. They then
placed him in the backseat of his vehicle
and pistol-whipped his head, causing him
to lose consciousness, officers said.
According to police, the suspects stole
the mans personal belongings and then
fled the scene.
After the victim gained consciousness,
he drove himself to Seton Medical Center,
police said.
Both suspects are described as slender
men in their 20s. One suspect was
described as a Hispanic man and the other
was described as a black man. Both men
were described as standing about 5 feet 9
inches tall and wearing a black mask at the
time of the assault and robbery.
The Hispanic suspect was also wearing a
silver chain, black pants, and a gray hood-
ed sweatshirt with a leaf design on the
front, police said.
The other suspect was wearing black
pants and a black hooded sweatshirt with
Nike written in white lettering, police
said.
The suspects have not been detained and
the incident remains under investigation.
Anyone with information about the
assault is encouraged to contact police at
(650) 877-8900 or may do so anonymous-
ly at (650) 952-2244.

WORLD 7
By Qassim Abdul-Zahra
and Sameer N. Yacoub
BAGHDAD The Islamic militants who
overran cities and towns in Iraq last week
posted graphic photos that appeared to
show their gunmen massacring scores of
captured Iraqi soldiers, while the prime min-
ister vowed Sunday to liberate every inch
of captured territory.
The pictures on a militant website appear
to show masked ghters of the Islamic State
of Iraq and the Levant, or ISIL, loading the
captives onto atbed trucks before forcing
them to lie face-down in a shallow ditch with
their arms tied behind their backs. The nal
images show the bodies of the captives
soaked in blood after being shot at several
locations.
Chief military spokesman Lt. Gen.
Qassim al-Moussawi conrmed the photos
authenticity and said he was aware of cases
of mass murder of captured Iraqi soldiers in
areas held by ISIL. He told The Associated
Press that an examination of the images by
military experts showed that about 170 sol-
diers were shot to death by the militants
after their capture.
Captions on the photos showing the sol-
diers after they were shot say hundreds have
been liquidated, but the total could not
immediately be veried.
On Friday, U.N. human rights chief Navi
Pillay warned against murder of all kinds
and other war crimes in Iraq, saying the num-
ber killed in recent days may run into the
hundreds. She said in a statement that her
ofce had received reports that militants
rounded up and killed Iraqi soldiers as well as
17 civilians in a single street in Mosul. Her
ofce also heard of summary executions and
extrajudicial killings after ISIL militants
overran Iraqi cities and towns, she said.
The grisly images could sap the morale of
Iraqs security forces, but they could also
heighten sectarian tensions. Thousands of
Shiites are already heeding a call from their
most revered spiritual leader to take up arms
against the Sunni militants who have swept
across the north in the worst instability in
Iraq since the U.S. withdrawal in 2011.
ISIL has vowed to take the battle to
Baghdad and cities farther south housing
revered Shiite shrines.
Although the government bolstered
defenses around Baghdad, a series of explo-
sions inside the capital killed at least 19
people and wounded more than 40, police
and hospital ofcials said.
Security at the U.S. Embassy was
strengthened and some staff members sent
elsewhere in Iraq and to neighboring Jordan,
the State Department said.
While the city of 7 million is not in any
immediate danger of falling to the militants,
food prices have risen twofold in some
cases because of transportation disrup-
tions on the main road heading north from
the capital. The city is under a nighttime cur-
few that begins at 10 p.m.
In a ery speech to volunteers south of
Baghdad, Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki
vowed to regain territory captured last week
by the ISIL.
We will march and liberate every inch they
defaced, from the countrys northernmost
point to the southernmost point, he said.
The volunteers responded with Shiite chants.
On Saturday, hundreds of armed Shiite men
paraded through the streets of Baghdad in
response to a call by Grand Ayatollah Ali al-
Sistani for Iraqis to defend their country.
ISIL has vowed to attack Baghdad but its
advance to the south seems to have stalled in
recent days. Thousands of Shiites have also
volunteered to join the ght against the
ISIL, also in response to al-Sistanis call.

WASHINGTON Security at the U.S.
embassy in Baghdad was bolstered and some
staff members were being moved out of
Iraqs capital city as it was threatened by the
advance of an al-Qaida inspired insurgency,
a State Department spokeswoman said
Sunday.
Jen Psaki said in a statement that much of
U.S. embassy staff will stay in place even as
parts of the country experience instability
and violence. She did not say the number of
personnel affected. The embassy is within
Baghdads Green Zone. It has about 5,000
personnel, making it the largest U.S. diplo-
matic post in the world.
Overall, a substantial majority of the
U.S. Embassy presence in Iraq will remain
in place and the embassy will be fully
equipped to carry out its national security
mission, she said.
Some embassy staff members have been
temporarily moved elsewhere to more stable
places at consulates in Basra in the Shiite-
dominated south of Iraq and Irbil in the
Kurdish semi-autonomous region in north-
eastern Iraq and to Jordan, she said.
U.S. travelers in the country were encour-
aged to exercise caution and limit travel to
certain parts of Iraq.
Due to the relocation of personnel from
Baghdad, the embassy will only be restricted
in its ability to offer all consular services;
but emergency services are always available
to U.S. citizens in need at any embassy or
consulate anywhere in the world, Psaki said.
Pentagon spokesman Rear Adm. John
Kirby said in a statement that a small num-
ber of military personnel are helping to
keep State Department facilities safe in
Baghdad. He said embassy personnel are
being moved by commercial, charter and
State Department aircraft. But, Kirby says,
the U.S. military has airlift assets at the
ready should the State Department request
them. AU.S. military ofcial said about 100
Marines and Army soldiers have been sent
to Baghdad to help with embassy security.
The State Department acted as the Iraqi
government sought to bolster its defenses
in Baghdad on Sunday. Despite the added
security, a string of explosions killed at
least 15 people and wounded more than 30
in the city, police and hospital ofcials
said. And, an Islamic militant group behind
the strife. the Islamic State of Iraq and the
Levant or ISIL, posted graphic photos that
appeared to show its ghters massacring
dozens of captured Iraqi soldiers.
U.S. State Department spokesman Jen
Psaki said the ISIL militants claim of
killing the Iraqi troops is horrifying and a
true depiction of the bloodlust that those
terrorists represent.
She added that a claim that 1,700 were
killed could not be conrmed by the U.S.
White House spokesman Josh Earnest
said President Barack Obama on Sunday was
briefed on the situation by National
Security Adviser Susan Rice as he was
spending Fathers Day in Rancho Mirage,
California.
Secretary of State John Kerry made calls
to foreign ministers in Jordan, the United
Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Qatar to dis-
cuss the threat and the need for Iraqi leaders
to work together.
Earlier Sunday, Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-
S.C., said that Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-
Maliki cannot keep his country together,
and a U.S. alliance with Iran might be need-
ed to do so.
Graham, a member of the Senate Armed
Services Committee, said a U.S. partnership
with longtime foe Iran makes him uncom-
fortable but likened it to the United States
working with Josef Stalin in World War II
against Adolf Hitler. He says the United
States has to do what it can to keep Baghdad
from falling to insurgents.
An al-Qaida splinter group surprised
Western intelligence organizations last
week and took control at least two major
Iraqi cities. Iran says it has no interest in a
destabilized Iraq as its neighbor.

By Kristen Wyatt
DENVER AColorado man loses custody of his children
after getting a medical marijuana card. The daughter of a
Michigan couple growing legal medicinal pot is taken by
child-protection authorities after an ex-husband says their
plants endangered kids.
And police ofcers in New Jersey visit a home after a 9-
year-old mentions his mothers hemp advocacy at school.
While the cases were eventually decided in favor of the
parents, the incidents underscore a growing dilemma: While
a pot plant in the basement may not bring criminal charges
in many states, the same plant can become a piece of evi-
dence in child custody or abuse cases.
The legal standard is always the best interest of the chil-
dren, and you can imagine how subjective that can get, said
Jess Cochrane, who helped found Boston-based Family Law
& Cannabis Alliance after nding child-abuse laws have
been slow to catch up with pot policy.
No data exist to show how often pot use comes up in cus-
tody disputes, or how often child-welfare workers intervene
in homes where marijuana is used.
But in dozens of interviews with lawyers and ofcials who
work in this area, along with activists who counsel parents
on marijuana and child endangerment, the consensus is
clear: Pots growing acceptance is complicating the task of
determining when kids are in danger.
A failed proposal in the Colorado Legislature this year
showed the dilemma.
Colorado considers adult marijuana use legal, but pot is
still treated like heroin and other Schedule I substances as
they are under federal law. As a result, when it comes to
dening a drug-endangered child, pot cant legally be in a
home where children reside.
Two Democratic lawmakers tried to update the law by say-
ing that marijuana must also be shown to be a harm or risk
to children to constitute abuse.
But the effort led to angry opposition from both sides
pot-using parents who feared the law could still be used to
take their children, and marijuana-legalization opponents
who argued that pot remains illegal under federal law and
that its very presence in a home threatens kids.
After hours of emotional testimony, lawmakers aban-
doned the effort as too complicated. Among the teary-eyed
moms at the hearing was Moriah Barnhart, who moved to
the Denver area from Tampa, Florida, in search of a
cannabis-based treatment for a daughter with brain cancer.
We moved here across the country so we wouldnt be
criminals. But all it takes is one neighbor not approving of
what were doing, one police ofcer who doesnt under-
stand, and the law says Im a child abuser, Barnhart said.
Supporters vow to try again to give law enforcement
some denitions about when the presence of drugs could
harm children, even if the kids dont use it.
There are people who are very reckless with what theyre
doing, leaving marijuana brownies on the coffee table or
doing hash oil extraction that might blow the place up. Too
often with law enforcement, theyre just looking at the
legality of the behavior and not how it is affecting the chil-
dren, said Jim Gerhardt of the Colorado Drug Investigators
Association, which supported the bill.
Colorado courts are wading into the question of when
adult pot use endangers kids. The state Court of Appeals in
2010 sided with a marijuana-using dad who lost visitation
rights though he never used the drug around his daughter.
The court reversed a county courts decision that the father
couldnt have unsupervised visitation until passing a drug
test, saying that a parents marijuana use when away from
his or her children doesnt suggest any risk of child harm.
Changing pot laws prompt
child-endangerment review
By Kimberly Heing
WASHINGTON Home-schooling mom
Jenni White gave some of the loudest cheers
when Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin signed
legislation to repeal the Common Core edu-
cation standards.
White, president of Restore Oklahoma
Public Education, helped organize rallies,
robo calls and letters to legislators encourag-
ing the repeal. You name it. We had to do it,
White said. We just had to do it out of a shoe-
string budget out of our own accounts.
In Oklahoma and elsewhere, home-school-
ing parents, often with their kids, are a fre-
quent presence at legislative hearings and
other political functions representing anti-
Common Core forces. Sometimes, as in
Whites case, they are even leading the oppo-
sition.
Home-schooling parents can teach their
kids what they choose, but many of these par-
ents still have a big beef with the standards.
Facebook groups such as Home
Schooling Without Common Core, have
popped up. A Home School Legal Defense
Association produced video on the standards
has been viewed online hundreds of thou-
sands of times.
All parents should be concerned about this.
This is our children. To me, its not political,
said Megan King of Lawrence, Kansas. She
pulled two of her three sons out of their public
elementary school, in part, because of the math
standards, and she co-founded Kansans Against
Common Core.
The standards, adopted in more than 40
states and the District of Columbia, spell out
what math and English skills public school
students should master at each grade. They
were pushed by governors concerned that too
few graduates were ready for life after high
school.
Use of the standards has become a hot but-
ton issue in many states, and governors in
Indiana and South Carolina recently signed
legislation repealing them. The issue has pit-
ted Chamber of Commerce-aligned
Republicans with grassroots conservatives,
including many home-schooling parents.
The Common Core effort was led by the
states, but the Obama administration has
offered incentives to those that adopted col-
lege and career ready standards. That has led
to charges of federal intrusion.
The concern that the more education policy
is centralized, the less control they have as
citizens motivates many of these home-
schooling parents, said Emmett McGroarty,
director of education at the conservative
American Principles Project.
Some of these parents, like King, believe
the standards are poorly designed. King said
she believes the math standards are develop-
mentally inappropriate for younger kids, not
rigorous enough for older students and too
heavy on pushing informational text over
literature.
Other home-schoolers fear that as textbook
publishers incorporate the standards, it will
lead to a smaller number of non-Common
Core based-textbooks, said White, from
Luther, Oklahoma. She says she teaches her
children using classically aligned texts.
McGroarty said there is a concern that the
ACT and the College Board, which owns the
SAT, are moving toward aligning with the
standards. That, he said, would leave home-
schooling parents no choice other than to
follow the standards if they want their kids to
do well on the college entrance exams.
An ACT ofcial said the company supports
the Common Core standards, but the exam
hasnt changed because of them. The College
Board, which is revamping the SAT, has said
the new version of the exam isnt aligned to a
single set of standards.
Mike Donnelly of the Home School Legal
Defense Association, based in Purcellville,
Virginia, said there isnt anything inherent-
ly objectionable in the Common Core stan-
dards, but there is concern that if the stan-
dards become more mainstream, there will be
more pressure for home-schooled students to
conform to them.

Facts needed on proposed
Redwood City charter schools
Editor,
The Redwood City Elementary
School District Board of Trustees will
be making a decision on whether to
grant charters to Rocketship Education
and KIPP Schools. The combined pro-
posed student population of both char-
ters is approximately 1,625 students.
The district posted the petitions and
the relevant appendices on the web-
site. The information on the appen-
dices was irretrievable. The district did
not notify staff or community mem-
bers about the charter petitions and did
not provide information on the nan-
cial impact.
There were testimonials by the
petitioning parents and remarks by
Ms. Sobrato and Mr. Ron Gonzalez
reminding the board of programs and
funding brought into the Redwood
City Elementary School District by
their respective organizations. A
quid pro quo?
The board declined to answer ques-
tions about the nancial impact on
the district, the number of staff to be
terminated if the charters were grant-
ed, stafng and where the charters
would be housed.
These corporations are targeting
students who are not at grade level,
English language learners, children
living in poverty and children of
color. This is because the governor
has provided additional funding for
these students needs and Redwood
City has many of these children in
our schools. This is a big chunk of
money that would go to charter
schools that are not accountable to
taxpayers or community.
The board needs to be account-
able to its constituents before it
makes a determination. These are
our kids, our schools and our
money. We need the facts.

The VA and Obamacare
Editor,
In his June 9 letter, author Ruben
Contreras dismisses my concerns
about the VAand Obamacare
(Misdirected, premature criticism,
Daily Journal). Mr. Contreras stated
that he has received 14 years of suc-
cessful health care delivered by the
Palo Alto VAfacility.
First of all, I thank Mr. Contreras for
his previous service to this country.
Secondly, I am very gratied that he
has received quality care from the VA.
Unfortunately, tens of thousands of his
fellow vets have not. In fact, thou-
sands have been waiting months for an
appointment or have had their requests
for care intentionally deleted by gov-
ernment workers seeking to increase
their pay by manipulating the system.
Mr. Contreras is correct when he states
that the VAwas established long before
President Barack Obama pledged in
2008 to x the serious problems at the
VA. President Obama recently said that
the problems at the VAare totally
unacceptable. I could not agree more.
Look, the VAhas many caring staff.
But that does not excuse the years of
abuse that thousands of vets have
received. Now, we are at a precipice
known as Obamacare, a gigantic gov-
ernment bureaucracy that could not
even successfully operate the enroll-
ment website.
Simply put, relinquishing control
over your own health care will have
dire consequences. Unless you relish
the idea of getting an act of Congress
to x a problem that you are experi-
encing, support candidates who
embrace choice and will repeal the
cancer known as Obamacare before
its tentacles have completely stran-
gled the system.

The right was wrong again
Editor,
It has long been fairly safe to assume
that the opposite of what Republicans
claim is true. Now we have even more
evidence. According to the Bureau of
Labor statistics estimates released ear-
lier this month, since the Affordable
Care Act was signed into law in March
2010, the health care industry has
gained 982,000 jobs, while right-wing
media and congressional Republicans
have been claiming all along that
Obamacare would be a sure job killer.
Not much of a surprise that more peo-
ple with health care coverage would
need additional stafng, or what?
Then again, if Republicans really
believed that the ACAwould kill
jobs, why fight so hard to repeal it,
instead of cheering on yet another
program they thought would ulti-
mately hurt President Obama? That
would be more in line with their
well-known and persistent effort to
prevent him from doing the job he
was elected to do. They wouldnt be
lying, would they just trying to
kill yet another Democratic success
story, leaving their own lack of pro-
gressive ideas to shame?

Letters to the editor
Boston Herald
T
he war on millionaires and
billionaires is back! And at a
most politically convenient
time for President Obama, U.S. Sen.
Elizabeth Warren and their party.
Yes, the president this week has
pivoted away from irksome foreign
policy issues and onto friendly
domestic territory, with an issue
Democrats see as a winner in the
midterm elections the high cost of
student loan debt.
The president announced plans to
expand the number of student borrow-
ers who are allowed to cap their loan
repayments at 10 percent of their
income (a unilateral move for which
the administration could provide no
cost estimate) along with other under-
whelming steps to ease the burden of
student debt.
More signicant, the president has
endorsed passage of a bill led by
Warren that would allow student
borrowers to renance both their gov-
ernment and private student loans at
lower rates.
And because there is no issue that
this White House cant reduce to a
stark choice between good and evil
the evil so often being those who dare
to earn a hefty paycheck well,
Obama said members of Congress
now face a choice.
Lower tax bills for millionaires,
he said, or lower student loan bills
for the middle class.
Warrens renancing bill is estimat-
ed to cost $58 billion over 10 years,
a cost that would be covered by clos-
ing those loopholes that allow the
wealthy to pay rates that may be the
same or lower than individuals who
earn much less.
And while its true that student loan
debt is burdening the U.S. economy,
this plan does nothing to help student
borrowers nd the jobs they would
need to repay the money they bor-
rowed (with knowledge of what it
would cost to repay).
And even more to the point, mak-
ing borrowing that much cheaper will
do nothing whatsoever to bring down
the high cost of a college education,
which is the true driver of student loan
debt.
This is nothing more than politics
as ofcial policy the presidents
shout-out to U.S. Rep. John Tierney,
a vulnerable Democrat, at Mondays
White House ceremony was just one
of the clues and its a misguided
policy at that.
Student loan politics Neighborhood versus
diversified schools
I
t was surprising for a superintendent to criticize a dis-
trict school and then for a teacher from that school to
go on the offense all this in the Daily Journal. In a
June 2 article on magnet schools, Cynthia Simms, super-
intendent of the San Mateo-Foster City School District,
said that subgroups are still struggling at Bayside. Until
there are some changes academically, Bayside wont be
attracting others from outside the neighborhood.
On June 7, Alexander Hynes, an eighth-grade English and
U.S. history teacher at Bayside, replied in an op-ed that
while there are a group of students who continue to struggle
on standardized tests, Bayside students overall increased their
standings on the Academic
Performance Index by 25
points last year, a major
achievement. Other schools
in the district averaged a
two-point increase.
Bayside houses the dis-
tricts middle school gifted
program. According to
Hynes, Dr. Simms neglect-
ed to say that there will be
60 additional students join-
ing the program next year,
some of them from other
neighborhoods. And if the
superintendent wants to
attract students from outside
the neighborhood, dis-
paraging remarks about the school in a public forum makes
the endeavor more difcult.
***
What is this all about? Baysides enrollment draws from
some of the citys lowest socioeconomic neighborhoods.
Its API scores are lower than the districts other middle
schools. This has been traditionally so. Many of the fam-
ilies rent rather than own homes. Many are on the move
when the economy changes. For some students, Bayside
is the rst district school they attend without the benet
of the districts elementary and preschools. In recent
decades, many of the students come from families who do
not speak or read English. Despite these factors, Bayside
has made extraordinary progress. It became a STEM
school (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) and
beefed up its curriculum while attracting outstanding
teachers and a dynamic principal.
From Dr. Simms point of view, she sees a district with
haves and have-nots. The best policy is to encourage
diversication of the student body via magnet schools,
moving the gifted program from afuent to less afuent
neighborhoods, etc. The alternatives are busing kids
around, changing boundaries or adopting San Franciscos
unpopular system in which students from low economic
neighborhoods have preference over neighborhood chil-
dren in high-achieving schools.
She is also faced with a growing student population in
Foster City, primarily middle class, the least economically
diverse part of the district. The last school bond to address
the need for more space failed and, until a new one passes,
my guess the superintendent, like her predecessors, would
like more Foster City students to attend San Mateo schools.
Thats why a Mandarin immersion program and an elemen-
tary gifted program was started at Turnbull, now College
Park, in North Central San Mateo. Foster City students
receive free busing. Previously, the gifted program was head-
quartered at Baywood, then Laurel in communities west of El
Camino Real. The districts popular Montessori program
started at Meadow Heights, another school west of El
Camino Real, moved to Parkside and later on North
Shoreview in the neighborhoods east of Highway 101.
***
Unfortunately, these attempts to move students around to
improve achievement and diversication dont always
work. Park School, in San Mateos most afuent neighbor-
hood, has suffered declining test scores with the exodus of
most neighborhood children. When Peninsula (now
Sterling Court independent living for seniors) on El
Camino Real was shut, its students were assigned to Park.
Then Park experimented with open classrooms. Parents
wanted a more traditional school and had the money to go
elsewhere. Now Park has walls between classrooms but
most neighborhood children are gone. For years, the par-
ents of North Central children have complained about their
kids being bused to other district schools.
***
Last week, a Horrall, Bayside and San Mateo High grad-
uate, told a graduation of Parent Involvement Program
(PIP) preschoolers and their families his story. First in
English, then Spanish. Ramiro Molina, a PIP pre-school
graduate, started working for his father, a gardener, when
he was 8 years old. He hated it. Father told him if he did-
nt want to be a gardener he should study hard. He did.
Now hes off to a university on a full scholarship. His
proud parents were on stage, too. They deserved equal
applause. As Ramiro explained My parents support is
what got me to where I am now. Give that to your kids
and they too will excel in life no matter what their back-
ground is. It doesnt matter where you start ... it matters
where you end up.
PIP is all about making parents participants in their chil-
drens education. Parent participation and preschool are key
to success. Maybe more so than diversication.

DETROIT Anthony Brown
keeps his home of 36 years in
good shape, but it is an island of
tranquility in a sea of blight in
Detroits Marygrove neighbor-
hood. There is a vacant house next
door, another across the street and
still others farther down
Wisconsin Street.
It was beautiful around here,
Brown, a 59-year-old Ford Motor Co.
worker, said about how things once
looked. Everybody was in the hous-
es. Everybody kept their lawns up.
Everybody was planting owers.
Now he and others in bankrupt
Detroit see signs of hope in an
aggressive home preservation
plan that Mayor Mike Duggan is
using to lure people back into city
neighborhoods. Its no small
task: Arecent study recommended
razing more than 38,000 houses.
Another 35,000 are unoccupied,
abandoned or government-owned
and at-risk of becoming blighted.
About 5,500 of those are owned
by the city or the Detroit Land
Bank Authority.
Instead of razing them all, the
city is highlighting the ones that
can be saved and selling them at
auction to individuals and families
who want to x them and move in.
That strategy, if successful, is
expected to help eradicate blight
and strengthen neighborhoods
that are stable or on-the-edge.
The Land Bank began auction-
ing off one home per day in early
May. That has since been expand-
ed to two per day and soon will
grow to three.
About 50 have been sold, so far,
and 6,500 bidders have registered
on the online auction site.
Weve sold $700,000 worth of
houses, Duggan told The
Associated Press last week. Were
going strong to weak. Were start-
ing in the strongest neighbor-
hoods in this city and going after
every single abandoned house.
If youve got four abandoned
houses on a block and you demo
one house, you havent changed
the quality of life for people on that
block. If you try to sell one house
where there are three abandoned,
nobodys going to buy. When you
take the entire neighborhood at
once and attack every single aban-
doned house, thats when people
are willing to invest.
The highest winning auction bid
has been $135,000 for a 4-bed-
room, 3-bath historic home in the
Boston-Edison area near the citys
center. Activity was so furious that
the website crashed near the end of
the auction.
About nine homes have been
auctioned off in Latisha Johnsons
East English Village neighbor-
hood. She says they sold for an
average of $30,000.
We recognize how much work
needs to go into it, Johnson said
of rehabbing each of the homes.
Id venture to say they would
have to put $30,000 in work to
put in to it.
On Friday, the high-bid for a
1,200-square-foot brick bungalow
in the eastside neighborhood was
$14,100. The house has a re-
place, three bedrooms and a good
roof, but the auction website notes
that its a xer-upper: Both bath-
rooms and the kitchen will need
replacing, as will the doors, win-
dows, plumbing and HVAC sys-
tem.
Talmer Bank has committed $1
million to a program in which
homeowners get $25,000 forgiv-
able loans when they buy homes
at auction. The loans will be for-
given at the rate of $5,000 for
each year the buyer lives in the
house.
Duggans plan includes legally
taking empty houses from owners
who fail or refuse to keep them up.
Some will be torn down and others
will be sold. Detroit doesnt want
to be a landlord, but the mayor
said allowing houses and neigh-
borhoods to rot is no longer an
option.
We sue on a nuisance theory
that when you abandon your house
it is a nuisance to your neighbors,
and you have to either x up the
nuisance yourself or lose the
house, Duggan said.
Detroit has led lawsuits against
at least 125 people so far this
spring.
The program is modeled after
one he created a decade ago during
his time as Wayne County prose-
cutor. And as far as Duggan knows,
no other U.S. city is doing what
Detroit is doing.
Notices are posted on the vacant
houses, and there is a response and
appeals period. Some owners
choose consent judgments and
vow to x the houses up and move
somebody in, but some dont .

READING, Pa. In August 2008,
factory workers David and Barbara
Ludwig treated themselves to new cars
David a Dodge pickup, Barbara a
sporty Mazda 3. With David making
$22 an hour and Barbara $19, they
could easily afford the payments.
A month later, Baldwin Hardware, a
unit of Stanley Black & Decker Corp.,
announced layoffs at the Reading plant
where they both worked. David was
unemployed for 20 months before nd-
ing a janitor job that paid $10 an hour,
less than half his previous wage.
Barbara hung on, but she, too, lost her
shipping-dock job of 26 years as
Black & Decker shifted production to
Mexico. Now she cleans houses for
$10 an hour while looking for some-
thing permanent.
They still have the cars. The other
trappings of their middle-class
lifestyle? In the rear-view mirror.
The downfall of manufacturing in the
U.S. has done more than displace
workers and leave communities search-
ing for ways to rebuild devastated
economies. In Reading and other
American factory towns, manufactur-
ings decline is a key factor in the
widening income gap between the rich
and everyone else, as people like the
Ludwigs have been forced into far
lower-paying work.
Its not that theres a lack of jobs,
but gains often come at either the
highest end of the wage spectrum or
the lowest.
A loss of manufacturing has con-
tributed to the decline of the middle
class, said Howard Wial, an econo-
mist with the Brookings Institution
and the University of Illinois at
Chicago. People who are displaced
from high-paying manufacturing jobs
spend a long time unemployed, and
when they take other jobs, those jobs
generally pay substantially less.
Globalization, automation and
recession destroyed nearly 6 million
manufacturing jobs between 2000 and
2009. In Pennsylvania, between 2001
and 2011, 258,000 middle-income fac-
tory jobs were lost. At the same time,
Pennsylvania added jobs at the lower
end of the wage spectrum in health
care and social services and at the
highest end, in sectors like manage-
ment and nance.
Berks County, of which Reading is
the county seat, is a mirror of that larg-
er problem.
Decades ago, Reading was a mighty
manufacturing town where the
Reading Railroad once the worlds
largest company, now a spot on the
Monopoly board built a 19th-cen-
tury transportation empire, and facto-
ries produced everything from hats to
hardware. At one time, the city boast-
ed so many manufacturing jobs that
you could quit one, cross the street
and easily land another, longtime
residents say.
Income gap widens as factories shut down

ANAHEIM President Barack
Obama said denying climate change is
like arguing the moon is made of
cheese, as he issued a call to action on
global warming to Saturdays gradu-
ates of the University of California,
Irvine.
Obama issued a call to action to the
tens of thousands gathered at Angel
Stadium even though he said Congress
is full of folks who stubbornly and
automatically reject the scientic evi-
dence and say climate change is a
hoax or fad.
Obama said others duck they ques-
tion.
They say, Hey, look, Im not a sci-
entist. And Ill translate that for you:
what that really means is, I know that
manmade climate change really is hap-
pening but if I admit it, Ill be run out of
town by a radical fringe that thinks cli-
mate science is a liberal plot, he said.
Obamas address to about 8,000
graduates from the Orange County
campus comes two weeks after he
announced a contentious plan to dra-
matically cut pollution from power
plants. Obama also used the address to
announce a $1 billion competitive
fund for communities who have experi-
enced natural disasters to rebuild and
prepare for the impact of extreme
weather.
He described a political system con-
sumed by small things but said
Americans should be determined to do
big things like addressing climate
change, despite the type of opposition
he faces from Congress.
Theres going to be a stubborn sta-
tus quo and people determined to
stymie your efforts to bring about
change. There are going to be people
who say you cant do something.
There are going to be people who say
you shouldnt bother trying. Ive got
some experience with this myself,
Obama said.
Its pretty rare that youll encounter
somebody who says the problem
youre trying to solve simply doesnt
exist. When President Kennedy set us
on a course to the moon, there were a
number of people who made a serious
case that it wouldnt be worth it, he
continued.
But nobody ignored the science. I
dont remember anybody saying the
moon wasnt there or that it was made
of cheese, Obama said.
The president said todays young
dreams are fed a steady diet of cynicism
but argued they have a right to be opti-
mistic.
Consider this: since the time most of
you graduated from high school, fewer
Americans are at war, Obama said.
More have health insurance. More are
graduating from college. Our businesses
have added more than nine million new
jobs. And the number of states where
youre free to marry who you love has
more than doubled. Thats just some of
the progress youve seen.

Sunday was a weird, wild day
for San Carlos Joe DiMaggios
Julian Billot.
Billot saw his rst pitching start
of the season implode during the
third inning against South City at
Orange Park. The right-hander
issued two walks and three hit bats-
men in the inning to open the door
for a six-run South City rally.
But San Carlos offense wasnt
about to let its undefeated record
go by the wayside. Entering into
its final at-bat trailing by two
runs, San Carlos sent nine batters
to plate amid a ve-run rally to
roll to a dramatic 10-7 come-from-
behind victory.
While Billot paced San Carlos
with a 4-for-5 day in the leadoff
spot, he gave credit to his team-
mates especially the heart of
the San Carlos batting order,
which started the seventh-inning
comeback for getting him off
the hook for the loss.
I knew our [No. 3, 4 and 5] guys
were coming up, so I know we
always have a shot when those big
guys come up, Billot said. Our
whole team stepped up today. It
was a team effort. Everybody con-
tributed. On the mound, we can
kind of forget about that, but my
teammates picked me up big time.
They saved me.
Ten minutes prior to the 11 a.m.
start time, San Carlos didnt even
have enough players in its dugout
to eld a team. Ultimately, nine
players showed, though among
the six who didnt were the teams
best position player Brad Degnan
and its ace pitcher Joe Pratt. Yet
San Carlos ghting nine proved
enough to improve the teams
record to 7-0 of the season.
South City (4-4) was missing
one key player as well with the
absence of closer Mike Keegan.
Ordinarily, the right-hander
would have been tasked with
protecting a two-run lead in the
seventh. Instead, South City
manager Jerrod McGrew turned
to right-hander Mike Espino,
who took the loss.
Espino was on the verge of get-
ting his team back into the dugout
with the game tied 7-7. But with
San Carlos Alex Pennes on third

Manu Ginobili slams home two of his 19 points as San Antonio soars to 104-87 win over Miami
in Game 5 of the NBAFinals giving the Spurs their fth all-time championship title.
By Brian Mahoney
SAN ANTONIO From their low moment
in the NBA Finals, back to the top of the
league.
The San Antonio Spurs turned the rematch
with the Miami Heat into no match at all.
The Spurs nished off a dominant run to
their fth NBAchampionship Sunday night,
ending the Heats two-year title reign with a
104-87 victory that wrapped up the series in
ve games.
A year after their heartbreaking seven-
game defeat, their only loss in six nals
appearances, the Spurs won four routs to
deny Miamis quest for a third straight cham-
pionship.
Hard to believe, isnt it? Manu Ginobili
said. We played at a really high level.
Kawhi Leonard, named the nals MVP, had
22 points and 10 rebounds for the Spurs. San
Antonio added this title to the ones the
Spurs won in 1999, 2003, 05 and 07. They
nearly had another last year, but couldnt
hold off the Heat and lost in seven games.
San Antonio rebounded from an early 16-
point decit by outscoring the Heat 37-13
from the start of the second quarter to mid-
way in the third.
The celebration the Heat canceled last sea-
son was on by the early second half Sunday.

PINEHURST, N.C. Martin Kaymer
returned to the elite in golf with a U.S. Open
victory that ranks among the best.
Aforgotten star for two years while build-
ing a complete game, Kaymer turned the
toughest test of golf into a runaway at
Pinehurst No. 2 on Sunday to become only
the seventh wire-to-wire winner in 114
years of the U.S. Open.
Kaymer closed with a 1-under 69 the
only player from the last eight groups to
break par for an eight-shot victory over
Rickie Fowler and Erik Compton, the two-
time heart transplant recipient and the only
player who even remotely challenged the
29-year-old German.
So dominant was Kaymer that no one got
closer than four shots over the nal 48
holes.
Only a late bogey kept Kaymer from join-
ing Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy as the
only players to nish a U.S. Open in double
digits under par. He made a 15-foot par putt
on the 18th hole, dropping his putter as the
ball fell into the center of the cup, just like
so many other putts this week.
No one was catching Kaymer this week,
Compton said, who earned a trip to the
Masters next April. I was playing for sec-
ond. I think we all were playing for sec-
ond.
This U.S. Open really ended on Friday.
Kaymer set the U.S. Open record with
back-to-back rounds of 65 to set the pace at
10-under 130. After a 10-foot par save on
the second hole, Kaymer belted a driver on
the 313-yard third hole. The ball landed on
the front of the green and rolled to the back,
setting up a two-putt birdie.
And he was on his way.
Fowler, in the nal group of a major for
the rst time, fell back quickly with a dou-
ble bogey on the fourth hole. Compton

SAN FRANCISCO Justin Morneau came
to the plate in the eighth inning with one
thought in mind: just see the ball and hit it.
Morneau hit a two-run double against left-
hander Javier Lopez as the Colorado Rockies
beat the San Francisco Giants 8-7 Sunday to
complete a three-game sweep with another
comeback victory.
He throws from a tough angle and the hard-
est thing with him is picking up the ball,
Morneau said. Fortunately it was in a good
spot and it was another good win for us.
Morneaus pinch-hit highlighted a four-run
rally for the Rockies, who scored in the ninth
in each of the rst two games of the series for
the win.
It was a great three games here, Rockies
manager Walt Weiss said. We kept it togeth-
er and came up with big-time clutch hits. I
love coming here and playing in this atmos-
phere.
Troy Tulowitzki had three hits, including a
home run, and drove in two runs for the
Rockies, who won extended their season-
high winning streak to ve games.
Ive been here when they came back
against us plenty of times, Tulowitzki said.
Its nice to be on this side and celebrating a
terric series.
Tulowitzki, who was nursing a sore toe, said
he was good enough to play even though
Weiss said the star shortstop talked his way
into the lineup.
Madison Bumgarner pitched seven innings
and homered in the fth inning for the Giants,
who have lost six of seven and were swept at
home for the rst time.

lost on this homestand but youre going to

Sean Walsh laces an RBI double in the seventh inning, starting a ve-run
comeback rally in San Carlos Joe DiMaggios 10-7 win over South City.
San Antonio routs
Miami to capture
fifth all-time title
and two outs, Jesse Austin hit a
shallow pop-up which saw right
elder James Felix have the ball
jarred from his glove when he col-
lided with second baseman Marvin
Vargas, allowing the go-ahead run
to waltz across and extended the
inning.
Because were young, were
making the routine plays a little
bit harder than they need to be,
McGrew said. Its baseball,
right? Play catch and that should
get you the game. But it doesnt
always work that way.
Derek Azzopardi started the ve-
run rally by drawing a leadoff
walk. Cleanup hitter Sean Walsh
followed with a booming RBI dou-
ble to left to score Azzopardi.
Pennes then jumped on the rst
pitch he saw, scorching an RBI
single to left eld to score Walsh
with the tying run, with Pennes
advancing to second on the throw
home. Antonio Arellano sacriced
Pennes to third. Then with two
outs, Pennes plated on the critical
South City error off the bat of
Austin.
The rally continued with a sin-
gle by Conner Sick before Billot
produced a two-run single to score
a pair of insurance runs.
We got lucky, San Carlos man-
ager Brian Rumsey said. [The
inning] came around when we had
all our good hitters up.
The game was clearly destined to
be a weird and wild one after South
City starting pitcher Dante
Ordonez broke two San Carlos
bats in the rst inning. It seemed
perfectly normal when Diego
Arellanos wood bat blew up on
the sixth pitch of the game. But
three batters later, Pennes com-
posite bat exploded on a ground-
out to second base to end the
inning.
Ive seen them break, McGrew
said. But I can honestly say, in
all the years Ive played baseball,
I dont think Ive ever seen two.
But San Carlos found the sweet
spot in the third inning to break a
scoreless tie. Sick and Billot led
off the frame with back-to-back
singles, setting the
stage for Azzopardis
rst home run of the
season to stake San
Carlos to a 3-0 lead.
South City answered
with its biggest sin-
gle-inning rally of the
season though. Vargas
drew a leadoff walk
followed by a Dom
Giuliani single. Then
three consecutive bat-
ters Emiliano Rios,
Marcus Roman and
Everado Valdez
were hit by pitches, the latter two
forcing home runs. Danny Ruiz
followed with a four-pitch walk to
push Rios across with the tying
run, knocking Billot out of the
game.
He was cruising through two
and then he just kind of fell apart,
Rumsey said. Even when I went
out there he said, Ive never had
that happen to me. Just all of a
sudden, he lost it.
South City greeted reliever
Walsh with back-to-back clutch
hits. Ricardo Pagan blooped the
rst pitch he saw to left for an RBI
single. Felix then drilled a two-run
double to right to give South City
a 6-3 lead, with all six runs being
charged to Billot.
In the fth, San Carlos closed to
within one run with a pair of two-
out extra-base hits. Sick reached
on an ineld error to lead off the
inning. With two outs, Azzopardi
split the left-center gap with an
RBI triple. Walsh followed with a
double to right-center to cut South
Citys lead to 6-5.
South City manufactured a run in
the bottom of the frame. Pagan
reached on an error and moved to
third on an ineld single by Felix.
Then Vargas smashed an RBI sin-
gle to center to score Pagan, giv-
ing South City a 7-5 lead.
Azzopardi was 2 for 2 with four
RBIs in the game. He is currently
hitting .429 (6 for 14) on the sea-
son. He also picked up the win by
closing out the game with 1 1/3
innings of shutout relief.

opener against Bosnia-Herzegovina to
show why so many fans consider him the
best in the world.
After a frustrating rst half, the Argentina
captain scored in trademark style in the
65th minute on Sunday night, completing a
quick 1-2 connection with Gonzalo Higuain
and running through defenders before strik-
ing a brilliant left-footed shot off the post.
The goal only the second for Messi on
footballs biggest stage set off wild cele-
brations among the throngs of Argentine
fans that had turned the famed Maracana sta-
dium into a sea of blue and white. It also
energized an unimpressive Argentina team
that was ahead at that point only because of
an early own goal by Bosnia.
Vedad Ibisevic scored a close-in goal in
the 85th, but Argentina held on to win 2-1
in the Group F match.
Its the rst game, I was anxious, nerv-
ous, Messi said. It was important to start
with a win. Weve got to improve certain
things, but it was important to start with
the three points.
Bosnia got the worst possible start to its
first World Cup when Sead Kolasinovic
scored an own goal after just three minutes.
Messi sent a free kick from the left ank
into the penalty area that Marcos Rojo bare-
ly touched before the ball bounced off
Kolasinovics foot into Bosnias goal.
Bosnia bounced back after the early set-
back, with Izet Hajrovic slipping through
Argentinas ve-man defense but failing to
beat goalkeeper Sergio Romero. Five min-
utes before the break, Senad Lulic tested
Romeros reexes with a well-timed header
on a corner kick.
Meanwhile, there was no sign of
Argentinas vaunted attack, as Bosnia gave
Messi no space to work his magic and
Sergio Aguero hardly touched the ball.
Coach Alejandro Sabella put in Higuain at
halftime, which allowed Messi to take a
step back. That shift proved crucial, getting
the Barcelona star more involved in the
action.
The changes gave Messi more support,
Sabella said. He doesnt need much,
because hes the best in the world. But there
is always a context that can enhance him a
little bit more.
After a string of dangerous runs, Messi
combined with Higuain, pulled left along
the penalty area, and scored after leaping
over defender Ermin Bicakic without losing
speed and balance.
Messi, who has been accused by critics of
not playing with as much heart for the
national team as he does for Barcelona,
pulled on his blue-and-white striped jersey
and ran to the sideline before pumping his
st toward the fans.
I wanted to release all the energy from
other times when things didnt go right
(with the national team), he said. Its
always a pleasure to score with the national
team.
Second-half substitute Ibisevic put some
nerve back in the match when he picked up
a pass from Senad Lulic and slotted the ball
between Romeros legs.
Bosnia started with Edin Dzeko as a lone
striker and coach Safet Susic only added
Ibisevic after Argentinas second goal.
I told him that playing against Argentina
I cannot play two attackers, Susic said.
And besides in the mideld we have very
offensive-minded players. Playing two
strikers (from the start) would have been
very risky.
Argentina plays Iran on Saturday, while
Bosnia will play Nigeria.
The match was the rst World Cup game at
the Maracana since Brazil lost to Uruguay in
the nal round of the 1950 tournament,
which remains a deep wound in Brazilian
football history. The July 13 World Cup
nal will also be held at the Maracana.
France 3, Honduras 0
Karim Benzema scored twice and created a
third that was conrmed by goal-line tech-
nology as France beat Honduras 3-0 Sunday
in its rst World Cup match.
Benzema rst converted a penalty just
before halftime after Wilson Palacios was
sent off with his second yellow card for
charging into the back of Paul Pogba.
With Honduras down to 10 men, France
continued to dominate and Benzema created
the second goal in the 48th minute the
rst to be conrmed by goal-line technolo-
gy at the World Cup. Benzemas shot hit the
post and came back across goal before goal-
keeper Noel Valladeres fumbled it over his
own line. With the new technology system
conrming the ball crossed the line, referee
Sandro Ricci gave the goal despite
Honduran protests.
Benzema scored his second in the 72nd,
ring in powerfully from inside the area.
Switzerland 2, Ecuador 1
BRASILIA, Brazil Agoal deep in stop-
page-time by Haris Seferovic gave
Switzerland a dramatic 2-1 victory over
Ecuador in their Group E opener at the World
Cup on Sunday.
In a match that looked destined to end in a
draw, substitute Seferovic red home the
winner in the closing seconds.
Enner Valencia had given Ecuador the lead
in the 22nd minute at Estadio Nacional in
the Brazilian capital.
Switzerlands equalizer followed in the
48th, with Admir Mehmedi heading home
from close range.

Messis two goals pace Argentina to 2-1 win
RICARDO MORAES/REUTERS
Lionel Messi scores his second goal in the 65th minute of Argentinas 2-1 victory over Bosnia-
Herzegovina. Argentina next pairs with Iran Saturday in Group F play.
birdied the eighth hole and got within four
shots until he took bogey on the par-3 ninth,
and Kaymer followed in the last group with an
8-iron to 4 feet for birdie.
Kaymer nished at 9-under 271.
He won his second major the other was
the 2010 PGA Championship at Whistling
Straits in a three-man playoff and this one
wasnt close.
Kaymer joined Seve Ballesteros, Ernie Els,
Woods and McIlroy as the only players to win
two majors and be No. 1 in the world before
turning 30 since the world ranking began in
1986. He is the fourth European in the last ve
years to win the U.S. Open, after Europeans
had gone 40 years without this title.
Its a rebirth for Kaymer, who only last
month captured The Players Championship.
Kaymer reached No. 1 in the world in
February 2011, only to believe that he need-
ed a more rounded game. His preferred shot
was a fade. Kaymer spent two hard years, a lot
of lonely hours on the range in Germany and
his home in Scottsdale, Arizona.
The big payoff came at Pinehurst No. 2.
Kaymer has as many majors as Bernhard
Langer, the two-time Masters champion and a
mentor to Kaymer. Langer sent him text mes-
sages earlier in the week.
Weve almost a German Grand Slam
almost, Kaymer said. I hope it will make
Bernhard proud. Im sure it will make all of
Germany proud.
The biggest challenge for Kaymer was tun-
ing out the crowd, with enormous support for
Fowler, who enjoys pop star qualities in
America. The fans clapped when Kaymers
ball bounded off the back of the green, and
even when a superb shot from the native
weeks on No. 4 rolled off the front of the
green.
He marched along, dropping a shot on No.
7 with a shot left of the green that made him
play away from a bunker to avoid a score
worse than bogey, and another on the par-5
10th when a shot from the sandy area sailed
over the green, and he used putter to send the
next shot back toward the fairway.
But after back-to-back birdies, including a
30-footer on the 14th, the only question left
was the margin.
Woods still holds the most dominant U.S.
Open win 15 shots at Pebble Beach in
2000. McIlroy won by eight shots on rain-
softened Congressional in 2011, winning
with a record score of 16-under 268.

have some adversity, Bumgarner said. The
Rockies have one of the best offenses in the
league and we werent playing that badly. We
just found ourselves on the losing side.
Juan Gutierrez (1-2) allowed four runs on
three hits for the Giants.
LaTroy Hawkins pitched the ninth for his
14th save in 15 chances.
Tulowitzki singled to open the eighth and
scored on Drew Stubbsone-out triple. Michael
McKenry beat out an ineld single to score
Stubbs and Charlie Culberson walked.
D.J. LeMahieu then hit a sharp grounder to
shortstop Brandon Crawford, who bobbled the
ball before getting the force at second. Ehire
Adrianza also had trouble controlling the ball
and his relay throw to rst was late, setting up
Morneaus hit.
The bullpen just unraveled, said Giants
manager Bruce Bochy, who was ejected with two
outs in the ninth for arguing balls and strikes.
The no-decision denied Bumgarner a chance
to move into a tie for the NL wins lead with
nine. He allowed four runs on six hits, walking
four and striking out nine. Bumgarner had
allowed a combined four runs in his previous
29 innings.
Rockies starter Juan Nicasio gave up three
runs on four hits over two-plus innings. He
walked four and struck out two.
Nicasio walked Tyler Colvin and Crawford
to open the second inning and Adrianza sin-
gled to put the Giants ahead. Bumgarner bunt-
ed and was safe when Nicasio threw the ball
wide. Crawford scored on the play. Hunter
Pence also drove in a run.
Tulowitzkis 18th home run of the season, a
two-shot into the left eld bleachers in the
third, cut into the lead but the Giants answered
when Hector Sanchez and Pablo Sandoval hit
back-to-back home runs in the fourth.
Sanchez hit for Buster Posey, who left the
game as a precautionary measure after taking a
foul ball off his mask.
Brandon Barnes RBI groundout in the fth
was matched by Colvins RBI single in the
sixth to make it 7-3 for the Giants. Pinch-hit-
ter Josh Rutledge added an RBI double against
Bumgarner in the seventh to cut it to 7-4.

SPORTS 15
By Michael Wagaman
OAKLAND Derek Norris and Coco
Crisp hit early three-run homers to back a
strong start by Jesse Chavez, and the
Oakland Athletics beat the New York
Yankees 10-5 on Sunday.
Carlos Beltran hit his rst home run for
the Yankees since coming off the disabled
list. But the All-Star veteran also was called
out on a strange play in the eighth inning
when he seemed to lose track of the outs and
wandered away from rst base.
Norris homered in the rst and Crisp con-
nected in the second off Vidal Nuno (1-3).
The As had been held to one run or fewer
in four of their previous nine games before
taking a 10-0 lead in four innings.
Yoenis Cespedes drove in two runs and
Josh Donaldson snapped an 0-for-33 slump
with an RBI single.
Chavez (6-4) carried a shutout into the
sixth.
With the second-best record in the majors
behind San Francisco, the As have won
three of four and are off to their best start in
nearly 25 years.
Norris had three hits while Crisp,
Cespedes and Kyle Blanks each had two of
Oaklands 12.
With one out in the eighth and the As
ahead 10-3, Beltran grounded into a forceout
at second. He trotted toward New Yorks
rst-base dugout and got halfway there, then
turned around and headed back toward the
bag Beltran was tagged in foul ground.
Umpire Dan Iassogna made the call and
Yankees manager Joe Girardi came onto the
eld for a brief discussion. By rule 7.08,
Beltran was out for abandoning the base.
Chavez blanked the Yankees until Derek
Jeter doubled in the sixth and scored on
Mark Teixeiras two-out single. Oaklands
right-hander was stellar otherwise, allow-
ing ve hits over six innings with four
strikeouts.
Beltran homered off reliever Ryan Cook
in the seventh.
Brett Gardner also homered for New York,
a two-run shot in the ninth. The Yankees put
two more runners on base after that against
struggling reliever Jim Johnson, and Luke
Gregerson came on for the last out.
Jeter played his last scheduled game at the
Coliseum and received a lengthy ovation
from the sold-out crowd that included sever-
al thousand fans decked out in Yankees jer-
seys. The retiring shortstop was given a
bottle of Northern California wine during a
pregame ceremony and received a nancial
donation from the As for his Turn 2
Foundation.
It was at the Coliseum, in fact, where Jeter
made one of the most memorable plays of his
career. His backhanded ip to the plate helped
save the Yankees in the 2001 playoffs.
Jeter hit a sacrice y with the bases
loaded in the seventh before being replaced
by Brendan Ryan in the bottom half of the
inning.
Nuno, who had allowed only three earned
runs total over his previous two outings,
allowed eight runs and eight hits in three-
plus innings.
NOTES: The 10 runs were the As most
against the Yankees since 2007 and helped
them snap out of a weeklong power slump.
Oakland had hit only one home run over its
previous ve games.
As outelder Josh Reddick (hyperextend-
ed knee) will begin a rehab assignment with
Triple-A Sacramento on Tuesday. Drew
Pomeranz (5-3) pitches against visiting
Texas on Monday night.

to help the Heat get off to a fast
start. But it wasnt enough. He n-
ished with 31 points and 10
rebounds for the Heat, who lost
their spot atop the NBA to the
team that had it so long.
The Spurs won four titles in nine
years, but hadnt been back on top
since 2007, making Foreigners
Feels Like the First Time and
appropriate song choice after the
nal buzzer.
Tim Duncan and coach Gregg
Popovich have been here for all of
them, and it was the fourth for
Tony Parker and Ginobili, who
with Duncan are once again the
reigning the Big Three in the NBA.
Just a great team and we do it
together, Parker said.
Bosh nished with 13 points
and Wade just 11 on 4-of-12 shoot-
ing for the Heat, providing James
nowhere near the help he needed.
The painful conclusion to last
year served as the fuel for this one,
powering the Spurs to a 62-win
season that topped the NBA and
led to a rematch with Miami, the
NBAs first in the finals since
Chicago beat Utah in 1997-98.
Round 2 went to the Spurs, but
both teams will challenges to nav-
igate for a rubber match.
San Antonio will face questions
as it has for years about the
age of its core, and whether
Duncan, Ginobili and Popovich
want to stick around. The Heat will
brace for the potential free agency
of James, Wade and Bosh, and will
need younger, fresher pieces
around the three All-Stars if they
all stay.
But this moment belongs to the
Spurs. Playing a methodical style
for many years that was predicated
on throwing the ball into Duncan
made San Antonio respected, but
never beloved. The Spurs were TV
ratings killers, casual viewers nd-
ing them not much fun to watch.
But Popovich opened up the
offense a few years ago, making
the Spurs an easy-to-like, tough-
to-beat group that thrives on ball
movement and 3-point shooting.
You showed the world how
beautiful this game is,
Commissioner Adam Silver told
the Spurs during the postgame
award ceremony.
Adecade and a half after winning
their first title in 1999, when
Duncan was in his second season,
the Spurs remain the NBAs model
organization, a small-market team
that simply wins big and hardly
ever does it with a high draft pick.
Instead, the Spurs found players
overseas or in other organizations
who would t the Spurs way of
doing things and mesh with the
Duncan, Parker and Ginobili, the
winningest trio in postseason his-
tory.
That included Leonard, acquired
in a draft-night trade with Indiana
after playing at San Diego State,
and Patty Mills, an Australian
national who scored 17 points off
the bench.
No team has overcome a 3-1
decit in the nals, but the Heat
were confident they could keep
this season going, Bosh saying
earlier Sunday that the Heat were
going to win.
It appeared they would do it eas-
ily the way the game started, with
James coming out with force on
offense and shutting down Parker
on defense as Miami went ahead
22-6.
But it didnt last.
While it took San Antonio a lit-
tle while to get warmed up, the
Spurs eventually made it look
stunningly easy again much to
the delight of the home crowd,
with fans standing, chanting and
dancing much of the second half.
Notes: It was the Spurs 12th
win by 15 or more points, most
ever in a postseason. The Spurs
outscored opponents by 214
points in the postseason. ...
Miami had won 11 straight series,
tied for the fth-longest streak in
NBAhistory.

any people know they want to
adopt, but arent sure about the
timing. Some families want to
wait until kids are school-age or until
theyve demonstrated a level of responsi-
bility. For others, the decision centers
around their living situation or lifestyle.
They work too much now, but know its
temporary. They arent in a pet-friendly
rental now, but are looking to move soon.
Or, perhaps one of the familys decision-
makers is trying to convince the others.
These are key considerations. In some
ways, adding a pet is a bit like having a
baby, as there is no ideal time for this
wonderful change. Youll never be 100
percent prepared. I speak from experience,
having done both a few times. If you can
have pets where you live and if others in
your family are on board, nows an ideal
time to adopt. Specically, this Saturday
at Peninsula Humane Society! Were host-
ing an Adopt-a-thon, from 11 a.m. to mid-
night. Its a pajama party themed event.
You can show up in your jammies, and if
you donate one blankie for our shelter ani-
mals, well waive your adoption fee
(except for puppies and kittens). Well
have movies playing in our center and
popcorn. And, throughout the day, well
post joyful adoption photos on our
Facebook page. It gets better. Weve part-
nered with Wag Hotels, a super-cool pet
boarding facility with locations in
Redwood City and San Francisco; they
took our pajama-party event a step further,
to a sleep over! They are giving a free
nights stay (valued at $60) to all our
Adopt-a-thon adopters. You need not
worry about what to do with your new pet
if you have a weekend trip planned.
Hopefully that trip wont be for a few
weeks, so your pet has time to settle in to
your home. Then, you can get away,
knowing your new companion is in good
hands. Preview our animals this week!

LOS ANGELES In a summertime battle
of sequels, a pair of kooky cops beat out y-
ing dragons for the top spot at the box
ofce.
The R-rated comedy 22 Jump Street
debuted in rst place with $60 million, fol-
lowed by How to Train Your Dragon 2
which opened with $50 million in ticket
sales, according to studio estimates Sunday.
To have two movies that opened to 50-
plus, thats really good, said Chris
Aronson, head of distribution for Fox,
which boasts three lms in the top 10. To
have a PG-rated, animated lm open against
a hard R comedy, you gotta love that.
Its rare for two lms to open with such
big numbers on the same weekend, said Paul
Dergarabedian, senior analyst for box-ofce
tracker Rentrak. Dergarabedian notes it has
happened three times before: last year when
Monsters University opened against
World War Z; in 2012 when Madagascar
3 opened against Prometheus; and in
2008 when WALL-E opened against
Wanted.
The original versions of Dragon and
Jump Street were springtime releases, and
their strong performances then led studios
to offer sequels during the hot movie-going
months of summer.
When a studio has ultimate condence in
something, they will put it in that gladiator
arena that is the summer season,
Dergarabedian said. Asequel in the summer
is like graduating.
Sonys Jump Street stars Channing
Tatum and Jonah Hill as bumbling under-
cover ofcers who pose as college students
to bust a campus drug dealer. Hill also lends
a voice to the animated Dragon, the Fox
feature that follows Hiccup and his winged
dragon Toothless on an adventure where
they discover hundreds of wild dragons and a
mysterious dragon master.
Disneys Malecent claimed third place
in its third week of release. Warner Bros.
Tom Cruise action romp Edge of
Tomorrow took the fourth spot, followed
by last weeks top lm, Foxs teen tear-jerk-
er The Fault in Our Stars.
Estimated ticket sales for Friday through
Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters,
according to Rentrak. Final domestic g-
ures will be released on Monday.

HISTORY
By Anthony McCartney
LOS ANGELES Casey Kasem,
the internationally famous radio
host with the cheerful manner and
gentle voice who became the king
of the top 40 countdown with a
syndicated show that ran for
decades, died Sunday. He was 82.
Danny Deraney, publicist for
Kasems daughter, Kerri, says
Kasem died Sunday morning. A
statement issued by the family
says he died at 3:23 a.m. on
Fathers Day morning surrounded
by family and friends at a
Washington state hospital.
Even though we know he is in a
better place and no longer suffer-
ing, we are heartbroken, wrote his
daughter Kerri Kasem on Twitter and
Facebook from the family. The
world will miss Casey Kasem, an
incredible talent and humanitarian;
we will miss our dad.
Kasems American Top 40
began on July 4, 1970, in Los
Angeles. The No. 1 song on his
list then was Mama Told Me Not
to Come, by Three Dog Night.
In his signoff, he would tell
viewers: And dont forget: keep
your feet on the ground and keep
reaching for the stars.
Media personality Ryan
Seacrest, who took over the count-
down from Kasem in 2004, said in
a statement that Kasems death is a
loss for radio listeners worldwide.
Seacrest said that as a child hed
listen to Kasems show every
weekend and dream about some-
day becoming a radio DJ.
When decades later I took over
his AT40 countdown show, it was a
surreal moment, Seacrest said.
Casey had a distinctive friendly
on-air voice, and he was just as
affable and nice if you had the
privilege to be in his company.
Hell be greatly missed by all of
us.
In recent years, Kasem was
trapped in a feud between his three
adult children and his second wife,
former actress Jean Kasem. In
2013, his children led a legal
petition to gain control of his
health care, alleging that Kasem
was suffering from advanced
Parkinsons disease and that his
wife was isolating him from
friends and family members.
Kasem also suffered from Lewy
Body Disease, a form of dementia.

Awards in Las Vegas.
of 2009, when lawmakers were called into special
session to deal with a two-year budget decit of more
than $40 billion during the heart of the national
recession.
The budget is not perfect, said state Sen. Mark
Leno, D-San Francisco, chairman of the Senate
Budget Committee. But after a very dark decade, we
are taking a bold step into the light.
Californias previous record for a general fund budget
was $103 billion just before the recession. The signi-
cant drop in tax revenue that followed dropped the gen-
eral fund to $87 billion during the 2011-12 scal year,
requiring tens of billions of dollars in annual cuts.
Republican lawmakers generally praised the over-
all budget plan approved Sunday because it used the
governors more conservative revenue projections
but said it still contains increased spending that will
be unsustainable once temporary tax increases expire
in a few years.
Assemblyman Jeff Gorell, R-Camarillo, called it a
mixed bag.
He praised Democrats for accepting Browns rev-
enue projections for next year, rather than taking a
rosier scenario presented by the nonpartisan
Legislative Analysts Ofce, and for reaching a bipar-
tisan compromise on a rainy day fund that will go
before voters in November.
But he said the budget will include $700 million
less in debt payments than the governor had origi-
nally sought. Gorell also said it fails to live up to the
promises of Proposition 30, Browns sales and
income tax increase approved by voters in 2012,
because it does not restore enough money for public
education or the four-year university systems.
Its hard to even consider this a frugal budget, he
said. We create more programmatic spending than
even the governor has sent forth and are growing
entitlement programs in this budget larger than we
can adapt to.
Sen. Anthony Cannella of Ceres was the only
Republican lawmaker in either house to support the
main budget bill, which required only a simple major-
ity vote.
While the main bill sailed through the Assembly
and Senate relatively quickly, some of the individual
legislation ofcially called trailer bills that
implement specic aspects of the spending plan ran
into partisan opposition.
In particular, Republican lawmakers criticized the
use of money from a fund that collects industry fees
through Californias greenhouse gas emissions law.
Democratic lawmakers gave Brown a significant
victory in allowing him to tap the so-called cap-
and-trade fund for Californias high-speed rail
project, which has been beset by legal and finan-
cial challenges. The budget directs $250 million
from that fund to Californias $68 billion bullet
train, a priority of Browns, while ensuring that
the project receives 25 percent of the money in
that fund in future years.
We spent billions so far and there is not one ounce
of tracking being laid, said Shannon Grove, R-
Bakersfield. Its like we are going to continue
investing money in this project until someone nal-
ly says its not going to happen.
Another trailer bill that drew ire from Republicans
was SB858, which sets a cap of no more than 6 per-
cent on the amount of money local school districts
can set aside for their rainy day funds.
Republicans said it was ironic that the Legislature
had crafted a compromise rainy day fund for the state
earlier this year but was telling local school districts
that they could not keep a robust reserve of their own
if they desired.
The bill was pushed by the California Teachers
Association and other public employee unions,
which want school districts to spend the money they
receive in strong budget years. School administrators
and the American Civil Liberties Union criticized the
last-minute bill. They said it would hurt districts
ability to plan for economic downturns, when fund-
ing from the state is reduced.
Assembly Minority Leader Connie Conway,
R-Tulare, called the legislation unfair and irre-
sponsi bl e.

includes companies big and small such
as Salesforce.com, Pandora, Michaels
Arts and Crafts, Coca-Cola Bottling
Company, P.F. Changs, Ross Dress for
Less, Toyota North America and various
hospital and banks.
With its list of customers and
employees increasing, Coupa relocated
May 5 from its two downtown San
Mateo ofces into a 26,200-square-foot
building at 1855 S. Grant St., formerly
the original Siebel Systems ofces.
When the property opened up,
Bernshteyn said he knew it was a per-
fect t. Siebel was an innovator in
helping companies leverage informa-
tion technology to drive sales and there
is still a lot of focus on how to target or
market to shoppers. Coupa, however, is
on the ip side and is helping buyers
spend more wisely, Bernshteyn said.
When a hospital needs to order sup-
plies like scrubs, beds, lab coats or
medical equipment that requires special-
ty materials, Coupa provides informa-
tion about which suppliers have what
they need, Bernshteyn said.
For a company like Ross, when it
needs toilet paper, marketing signs,
clothing hangers or other products
required for it to do business, it works
through Coupa, Bernshteyn said.
Because Coupa works on a cloud sys-
tem, customers dont need to continual-
ly buy new software updates; they just
pay an annual fee that includes mainte-
nance, Bernshteyn said.
Coupa also pairs customers with
sites like Amazon or Ofce Max, yet
provides the ability to track data and
therefore retain oversight as to what
their employees are spending,
Bernshteyn said.
So its a very very wide range of
goods and services that can be pur-
chased you have the controls that
you would want in a company and we
offer the visibility and the analysis and
the insight so that a company could
route the employees to the best source
of those goods, Bernshteyn said.
Over time, once these companies see
how much money theyre spending
with certain suppliers theyre put into a
position to better negotiate discounts
and end up saving money.
Coupa estimates its saved its
clients almost $2 billion, which is
substantial for a company of its size,
Bernshteyn said.
The company is rapidly expanding
having gone from a handful of employ-
ees in 2009 to anticipating about 300
Coupa employees by the end of the
year, Bernshteyn said.
As exciting as its been to take over
the old Seibel ofces, Coupa is keeping
with the modern Silicon Valley compa-
ny atmosphere. Bernshteyn said one of
the rst things he did was rip out the old
cubicles, started painting the walls and
brought in couches and ping-pong
tables.
Were taking an environment that
used to be very corporate and high
strung and turning it into something
thats a place that people would feel
comfortable being at at all times.
Where they can be authentic and they
can be real, Bernshteyn said.
Coupa started in San Mateo and is
thrilled to remain after having found a
great location thats close to transit,
the airport and right between San
Francisco and Silicon Valley,
Bernshteyn said.
Personally, I cant imagine a better
place, Bernshteyn said. This is just,
in my mind, the very center of technol-
ogy and innovation in the entire
world.

The transient occupancy tax, or
hotel tax, receipts in the current scal
year are expected to exceed $20.1 mil-
lion, up from $10.2 million just ve
years ago. For the new scal year,
there should be strong growth in sales
taxes between 8 percent and 9 percent.
The $55.3 million in revenue will
nance $54.9 million in general fund
expenditures in the 2014-15 fiscal
year.
There will be a leveling off of prop-
erty tax growth, despite higher
assessed values on the countys prop-
erty tax rolls. The appropriations
include nearly $47.5 million in oper-
ating expenditures and capital outlay,
$16.2 to capital projects, $14.1 mil-
lion to the water enterprise and $10.5
million to the sewer enterprise. The
budget includes an 8.8 percent increase
in the cost of re services provided by
the Central County Fire Department,
for an anticipated cost of $10.1 mil-
lion.
I am glad our budget is in such good
shape, with healthy reserves and rev-
enues continuing to climb, said Vice
Mayor Terry Nagel. I think our whole
council is committed to continuing to
run a tight ship, a strategy that served
us well during tough economic times.
Nagel noted that what many people
dont realize is that the city is also
upgrading water, sewer and storm drain
systems.
People dont see these underground
pipes, so many arent aware of these
long-term projects, she said. These
upgrades mean all of us will be paying
for fewer repairs and can expect this
infrastructure to serve us well for many
decades to come.
The city also has unfunded infra-
structure projects to keep in mind. The
list, approved in November 2013,
includes an estimated $35 million to
$40 million for the Burlingame
Recreation Center, $25 million for the
downtown streetscape, $10 million to
$20 million for the downtown parking
garage, $11.5 million for City Hall
safety improvements, $5 million for
downtown parking lots resurfacing, $4
million for the new Bayside Park on a
state lands parcel, $3.5 million for
main library upgrades, $3.4 million
for a new parks yard, $2.4 million for
re station improvements, $2 million
for a general plan update, $1.6 million
for police station improvements,
$250,000 for aquatics center improve-
ments and $150,000 for carriage house
improvements.
The city is doing really well, said
Councilman Ricardo Ortiz. We have
to keep in mind we still have a lot of
unfunded capital improvements. We
need to be cognizant we do have bigger
things to fund. Everybody tends to
spend when the money is there, but
TOT and sales taxes come and go.
Additionally, unfunded liabilities
accrued from prior years continue to
prevent the city from attaining a truly
sustainable budget, according to
Goldman. Although retiree medical
benefits earned by current and past
employees are now being funded
through annual contributions to an
irrevocable trust fund, these added costs
are signicant, and represent payment
of past commitments. These funds are
not available to support current servic-
es. The cost of employee pension obli-
gations provided by California Public
Employee Retirement System also
continues to increase at an alarming
rate, according to Goldman. Though
pension benets have been reduced for
future employees, and current employ-
ees are contributing the entire employ-
ee rate as well as a percentage of the
employer rate to the pension system, it
will take many years for these reforms
to provide relief to the operating budg-
et, she said.
The city is doing well, said
Councilman Jerry Deal. Everything
that has been done has been so pru-
dent. Unfunded liabilities are always a
concern, but were doing a lot to get a
handle on that.
Other highlights of the budget
include water revenue, projected to be
$17.1 million in the new scal year,
with expenditures of $12.1 million
included in the operating budget.
Parking fund revenue, which include
meter and other parking fees as well as
monthly parking permits, are project-
ed to rise approximately 3 percent to
$2.5 million.
The council votes on the budget 7
p.m. Monday in Council Chambers,
501 Primrose Road in Burlingame.

DILBERT CROSSWORD PUZZLE
CRANKY GIRL
PEARLS BEFORE SWINE
GET FUZZY
MONDAY, JUNE 16, 2014
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Ignore anyone
making derogatory comments. Its your turn to be
in the limelight. Someone with similar views will be
interested in you personally and professionally.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) Get together with
friends or relatives and figure out how to care
for a loved one who needs assistance. Sharing
responsibilities will help you develop greater
respect for each other.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) If you are faced with
opposition, consider that it could be your fault.
Your intentions may be good, but if you are too
aggressive or demanding, you only create friction.
Diplomacy will be required.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Implementing a new
nutritional regimen into your daily routine will have
health benets if you practice moderation and monitor
the results until you reach a perfect balance.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Take time out to
socialize and nurture your personal dreams, hopes
and wishes. If you are single, mingle, and if you are
part of a couple, plan a romantic evening.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) You cant please
everyone, so do what you can to satisfy your own
needs. Dont fall prey to guilt being directed at
you by others. Updating your image will give you a
positive boost.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) If you are unclear
about what is happening around you, get involved.
Check out the doings at your local community center,
or sign up for a special-interest course.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Dont give up on
your dreams. Success doesnt happen by accident.
Be prepared to work hard and make the changes
needed to fulll your ideals.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Dont have any
qualms about speaking your mind. You may receive
some negative feedback, but trying to hide your
feelings wont help resolve a situation that is
puzzling you.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Rumors and gossip will
spread like wildre. Dont repeat or believe what you
hear. Your intuition will help you decide how to handle
whats happening and what to do about it.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) Run your ideas
by your peers and colleagues. Networking is an
excellent way to discover how you can make a
work-related improvement. An alliance will develop
with someone you meet.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Be a participant, not a
spectator. Get into the spirit of the moment and agree
to take on a new challenge. Having the right attitude
is just as vital as the skills you possess.

id you know that 30 million Americans
suffer from back and neck pain every day?
Sciatica and herniated discs are often
misunderstood. They can cause pain and
numbness in the back, neck, legs, and feet. This
pain affects everything that you do, from work
to play, and ultimately your quality of life. We
are here to tell you that there is hope. We have
the technology and experience to help you fnd
relief from sciatica and back pain. At Bay Area
Disc Centers, we have helped thousands of pain
sufferers just like you. We offer only the most
advanced non-surgical treatments.
Are pain pills effective, long-term solutions
when dealing with Sciatica and Back Pain?
ABSOLUTELY NOT!
Until now, people have masked their pain by
frequently taking prescription pain pills. This
type of pain relief is temporary. Often these
treatments lead to even more health problems
or worse yet addiction. Many people innocently
fall into abusing prescription pain pills while
initially using them to alleviate real, constant pain.
Is Surgery the Answer?
It is true that surgery may be the answer for
certain types of back injuries. When considering
your options, ask yourself this question
If there is a solution to back pain that doesnt
require surgery, is it worth exploring?
The Solution: TDC
TM
Therapy
TDC TherapyTraction Decompression Combined
Therapyis a proven treatment exclusive to Disc
Centers of America doctors for the relief of neck
and lower back pain. By utilizing traction thats
isolated to the spinal segment involved, the
purpose is to create spinal decompression as a
result to specifc traction.
TDC Therapy offers a significant success rate
and patients have experienced dramatic pain
relief and healing. This non surgical solution
is changing the way doctors treat severe disc
conditions. TDC Therapy is a unique and
innovative approach for the relief of neck and
lower back syndromes, including:
Herniated or buging discs
De-generative disc disease
Posterior facet syndrome
Spina Stenosis
Sciatica
TDC Therapy is non surgical and non invasive. It is
a gentle form of traction and disc decompression.
The treatment is not only safe, but also
comfortable and relaxing. The goal is symptomatic
relief and structural correction.
How Does TDC
TM
Therapy Work?
TDC Therapy can isolate a specifc vertebra and
distract the vertebrae surrounding an injured
disc 5 to 7 millimeters. TDC Therapy treatment
isolates the specific vertebrae that are causing
the pain. The 25 to 30 minute treatment
provides static, intermittent, and cycling
forces on structures that may be causing
back pain. Negative pressure promotes the
diffusion of water, oxygen, and nutrients into
the vertebral disc area, thereby re-hydrating
the degenerated disc. Repeated pressure
differential promotes retraction of a herniated
nucleus pulposus.
The TDC Therapy treatment works to reduce
pressure on the vertebral joints,promote
retraction of herniated discs, and promote self
healing and rehabilitation of damaged discs,
thereby relieving neck or lower back pain.
Why Bay Area Disc Centers
Dr. Thomas Ferrigno D.C. and his team have vast
experience in treating patients suffering from
severe disc disease. Dr. Ferrigno has performed
over 25,000 decompression treatments and
is currently only 1 of 2 doctors in the state of
California who is Nationally Certied in Spinal
Decompression Therapy. Dr. Ferrigno is also part
