With the governors $108 bil-

school districts are starting to
nalize their own budgets, with
many concerned about rising pen-
sion expenses and a trailer bill
that asks school districts to keep
reserves low.
Gov. Jerry Brown has until June
30 to sign the proposed budget
that would begin to pay down an
estimated shortfall of more than
$74 billion in the teachers pen-
sion fund, puts about $1.6 billion
into a special rainy-day fund and

One of the biggest things that
is affecting school districts is that
state employees and schools need
to increase their contributions so
it would address that unfunded lia-

Burlingames former restaurant,
Steamship Sherman, set sail this
weekend after years of trying to fig-

boat to make room for new ventures
on the Bayfront area.
Around 4 p.m. Sunday, June 15, the

the General Frank M. Coxe was moved
away from the Burlingame canal that
leads to the estuary between the hotels
and businesses on the Bay and
Highway 101 at 410 Airport Road by a
tugboat, heading to a new life at the
Stockton marina. The boat has been

Deputy: Florida man hid
drugs under stomach fat
DELTONA, Fla. Acentral Florida
man who weighs about 450 pounds
faces multiple charges after sheriffs
deputies say he hid cocaine and 23
grams of marijuana under his stomach
fat.
According to a new release, a Volusia
County sheriffs deputy stopped a
vehicle Friday after noticing that the
passenger wasnt wearing a seatbelt.
Officials say 42-year-old
Christopher Mitchell told the deputy
that hes too big to wear a seatbelt.
The deputy says he requested a drug-
detecting dog because Mitchell and the
driver appeared nervous. The dog
detected the presence of drugs in the
vehicle.
In addition to the drugs on Mitchell,
deputies say they also found a handgun
and $7,000 in cash in the vehicle.
Mitchell and the driver were arrest-
ed. It was not clear whether Mitchell
has an attorney.
Hee-haw! At zoo, donkey
pals calm restless rhino
TBILISI, Georgia Animals in the
zoo in Georgias capital are not
allowed to be lonely, even if it means
they end up with rather unusual com-
panions.
Afemale rhinoceros called Manuela
has made friends with donkeys, after
failing to hit it off with either zebras
or goats, while a lion cub neglected by
his mother has bonded with a puppy.
Tbilisi Zoo spokeswoman Mzia
Sharashidze said Manuela got
depressed after the death of her mate
and became aggressive toward her
caretakers. They tried putting zebras
in her enclosure, but they only
returned the aggression. Then they
tried goats, which ran away.
But the donkeys had an instant
calming effect.
Nearby, lion cub Shamba lives hap-
pily with a puppy. Sharashidze said
they are watching how long the
friendship will last.
Meth lab found at California
retirement community
FRESNO Police and residents of a
retirement community were stunned
that a 64-year-old Northern California
man arrested during a trafc stop was
accused of cooking methamphetamine
inside his apartment at the facility for
seniors.
Just shocking someone that age
would do that, but actually a perfect
place to do it, right? Retirement vil-
lage, who would suspect it going on
there? Fresno police Lt. Joe Gomez
told KFSN-TV on Sunday, the day after
Robert Short of Fresno was taken into
custody.
Police pulled over Short in a routine
trafc stop in Fresno late Saturday.
During the stop, ofcers learned that
Short was on supervised release for
selling meth. While conducting a
search of Shorts car, ofcers found 4
ounces of crystal meth, plastic bags
and an electronic scale, Sgt. Brian
Valles said.
Investigators then went to Shorts
apartment at the California League-
Fresno Village. There, they found a
half-pound of crystal meth with a
street value of about $1,700, some
heroin and materials for a small meth
lab, Valles said.
Short was booked into the Fresno
County jail on suspicion of several
drug charges, police said. It is not
known when he will make his rst
appearance in court or if he has
retained a lawyer, the Fresno County
district attorneys ofce said Monday.
Police said the evidence found in
Shorts car and apartment were consis-
tent with someone selling meth.
Shorts neighbors at the quiet senior
housing facility told KSFN-TV that
despite the tight-knit community
there, they didnt know Short, who
kept to himself.
I would never guess that anything
like that would go on at a senior citi-
zen village, tenant Robin Schramek
said.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO Gov. Jerry Brown
scored a big win for Californias $68 billion
high-speed rail project by persuading fellow
Democrats to dedicate a steady future funding
source for it in the state budget.
The $108 billion, 2014-15 general fund
budget approved Sunday includes $250 mil-
lion this year from the states cap-and-trade
greenhouse gas emissions fund. More impor-
tant to rail supporters is the promise of 25
percent of all future cap-and-trade revenue
each year, an amount that could total $3 bil-
lion to $5 billion a year in coming years.
The money is a fraction of the states over-
all spending plan. But to high-speed rail of-
cials and the governor, it signals the states
investment in the beleaguered project, which
has been saddled by delays and court chal-
lenges that have left it with little operating
cash and uncertain political support.
Rail ofcials believe the ongoing revenue
will be enough to leverage bond borrowing
and start work on new parts of the project,
such as a segment connecting northern Los
Angeles County to Burbank. Building that
section of the rail line could help generate
goodwill from the politically critical Los
Angeles area and blunt criticism over the deci-
sion to start construction in the less-populat-
ed Central Valley.
The renewed attention to high-speed rail
funding also is a reminder of the most press-
ing problem it faces: Where will the rest of
the money come from?
ASacramento County Superior Court ruling
last year, which is on appeal, has essentially
blocked the state from selling $8.6 billion in
voter-approved bonds that are supposed to be
the primary source of construction funds for
the rst 130-mile segment from Merced to
Bakerseld.
The state also owes the federal government
a $180 million matching payment due July 1
as part of the $3.5 billion in federal grants
awarded to California.
Rep. Kevin McCarthy, a Bakerseld
Republican who is on the verge of becoming
House majority leader, vowed in a statement
to do whatever I can to ensure that not one
dollar of federal funds is directed to this proj-
ect, as long as he is in Congress.
Four congressional California Democrats
last week joined Republicans to block federal
funds for the project as part of an amendment
to the federal transportation bill by Rep. Jeff
Denham, R-Turlock. The vote was mostly
symbolic because no federal money was pro-
posed this year, and it will likely be reversed
in the Democratic-controlled U.S. Senate.
The California High-Speed Rail Authority
did not immediately respond to a request for
comment Monday, but the agency provided
letters from nine major engineering and con-
struction rms supporting a dedicated state
funding source. Some rms indicated they
might consider private nancing if the fund-
ing were approved.
AECOM, a Los Angeles-based engineering
rm, wrote that multi-year funding sufcient
to move the project forward on a more aggres-
sive timeline, would attract our rm and pri-
vate sector competitors from around the
world. The letter addressed to legislative
leaders and Brown also said the money should
be sufcient to complete the project, in com-
bination with funds from the state. The rev-
enue included in this years budget falls short
of that.
Browns plan to fund the project with cap-
and-trade revenue has been a sore spot for
Democrats and environmentalists, partly
because of the intended mission of the pro-
gram to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to
help the state meet its air quality improve-
ment goals by 2020.
Long-term money a big
boost for high-speed rail

The California Legislature passed its
fourth on-time balanced budget in a row
Sunday and San Mateo Countys legisla-
tors said they are generally pleased with
the fiscally prudent plan that invests in
programs to address education, sustainable
transportation, affordable housing needs
and climate change.
Assemblyman Kevin Mullin, D-South
San Francisco, said he was pleased with the
legislative process and outcome.
As a member of the budget committee,
this is the biggest thing we do in
Sacramento by far, is adopting this budget
and Im very optimistic that this is a very
strong spending plan with fiscal pru-
dence, Mullin said. This year, compared
to last year, members of the budget com-
mittee had many opportunities to provide
input to help shape this spending plan.
I was encouraged by the process and theres
no question that this spending plan gets
the balance right between paying down
debt and investing in critical programs for
Californias future.
Gov. Jerry Brown has until June 30 to
sign the proposed $156.4 billion budget
that outlines a $108 billion general fund,
allocates $2.1 billion in reserves, which
includes a $1.6 billion rainy-day fund, and
spending $12.4 billion toward paying
down the states debt.
Assemblyman Rich Gordon, D-Menlo
Park, said the continued progress the state
has made with its balanced budgets over
the past four years has been encouraging.
I think whats very important in this
budget, weve made great progress in pay-
ing down the debt of the state, we set up a
reserve we have made some additional
investments in areas that I think are of
importance to us. We put more money into
early childhood care, we invested more
money in K-12 education and we increased
funding in our universities and state col-
leges. Its a budget Im proud of, Gordon
said.
State Sen. Jerry Hill, D-San Mateo, said
hes happy to see provisions for early
childhood education and addressing the
states $73 billion in unfunded liabilities.
Im very happy to see funding go
toward higher education, thats kind of the
backbone of California, Hill said. We
need to reinvest a little
of these funds to what
California needs, which
is a quality of life that
goes with California and
we need to support that.
Hill said hes disap-
pointed Medi-Cal reim-
bursement rates werent
raised since the state
enrolled more into the
program. With the high cost of doing busi-
ness in the Bay Area, local doctors may
decide to start turning down Medi-Cal
patients, Hill said.
Mullin, Gordon and Hill said they were
thrilled to see items theyd worked on and
which benefit their constituents addressed
through the states new cap-and-trade pro-
gram.
As the first year the state has been able
to see the program in action, the proposed
budget outlines spending $872 million on
projects to include high-speed rail, water
action plans, sustainable forests, waste
diversion, low carbon transportation,
affordable housing and addressing climate
change.
Mullin said this landmark program was
an important part of the budget discussion.
I was encouraged that theres going to
be money in more land use planning and
affordable housing and creating sustain-
able communities. Because land use most
certainly has an impact on GHG, green-
house gas reductions, and I was pleased to
vote on that
portion of
the budget,
Mullin said.
Im encour-
aged that
theres cap-
a n d - t r a d e
r e v e n u e
money for
a f f o r d a b l e
housing but
there is
much more
that we
could do
going for-
ward.
M u l l i n
said about
$130 million of cap-
and-trade revenue will be
allocated to affordable
housing needs, but the
total budget doesnt pro-
vide significant relief to
allow local governments
to be creative in making
up for the loss of rede-
velopment agencies.
Im pleased that were
putting $230 million toward housing, but
in my opinion, more can be done on this
issue that matches the scale of the prob-
lem, Mullin said.
Hill said cap-and-trade spending on sus-
tainable transit addresses both long- and
short-term needs. About $500 million is
aimed at transit including $250 million to
high-speed rail and $25 million toward
intercity rail capital programs.
This helps to address the Bay Areas tran-
sit woes, Hill said, as Caltrains electrifi-
cation project hinges on high-speed rail
funds and the budget can provide for
improved train and bus routes.
Place money where we can get the
biggest bang for the buck and thats really
why I supported moving forward with
high-speed rail, is well continue to see the
benefit of those funds locally and in very
meaningful transit improvements so were
not just wasting money on a train to
nowhere. The money will be focused on
getting us some immediate utility and ben-
efit that will get cars off
the road, Hill said.
Gordon is the chair of
the Assemblys select
committee on sea level
rise and said the budgets
allocation of cap-and-
trade funds to address cli-
mate change is reassur-
ing.
The committee helped
establish the California Climate
Resilience Account earlier in the year and
the budget has proposed funding the
account to encourage cities to address cli-
mate change in future local planning,
Gordon said. The California Coastal
Commission, the Bay Conservation and
Development Commission and the Coastal
Conservancy will divide funds to competi-
tive proposals, Gordon said.
One of the things we recognize in our
work is additional planning and prepara-
tion for sea level rise needs to be occurring
at the local levels and one of the things
this budget does is establish a climate
resiliency account and makes $2.5 million
available for grants to local governments
for planning, Gordon said. I think its a
very good first step in moving us toward
the response that California will need to
(make) with the rising of our seas.

Two of the workers at the construction
site suffered moderate injuries while two
others had minor injuries and have since
been released from the hospital, according
to Ron Meade, president of R.C. Pacific
Construction, Inc., the Roseville-based
contractor for the building project.
Hopefully theyre going to be fine,
Meade said of the workers.
Fire crews were dispatched to the partial
building collapse in the 1100 block of
Triton Drive around 10:30 a.m., authori-
ties said.
California Division of Occupational
Health and Safety spokesman Peter
Melton said part of the under-construction
wooden building gave way after a support
structure called a truss collapsed.
Melton said the building will be a Carls
Jr. restaurant.
Cal/OSHA investigators were on scene
Monday afternoon to look into what
caused the collapse. Meade said R.C.
Pacific Construction is conducting its own
investigation into what happened.
Car drives through carport
wall, overturns on hillside below
An elderly Belmont woman escaped
injury Sunday morning after she drove
through the back wall of a carport and
down a hill.
At approximately 10:05 a.m. Sunday,
Belmont police and fire units responded to
a report of a vehicle into a structure in the
1200 block of Chula Vista Drive. Upon
arrival, emergency personnel found the
driver, an 89-year-old woman who lives at
the residence, already out of the overturned
car. She was checked at the scene by
Belmont Fire Department paramedics and
found to be unhurt, according to police.
The woman was pulling into the carport
of her home in the Belmont hills, when
she apparently pressed the accelerator
instead of the brake. The womans 2005
Subaru sedan struck a refrigerator that was
against the back wall of the carport and
both the refrigerator and the vehicle went
through the wall, falling approximately 8
to 10 feet down the hillside below. The
vehicle landed on its roof and the woman
was able to crawl out of the car before
emergency personnel arrived, according to
police.
It took tow trucks approximately five
hours to remove the vehicle, according to
police.

Tuesday June 17, 2014 THEDAILYJOURNAL
By Julie Pace and Lara Jakes
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON The U.S. is
urgently deploying several hun-
dred armed troops in and around
Iraq and considering sending an
additional contingent of special
forces soldiers as Baghdad strug-
gles to repel a rampant insur-
gency, even as the White House
insists anew that America will
not be dragged into another war.
President Barack Obama noti-
fied Congress Monday that up to
275 troops could be sent to Iraq
to provide support and security
for U.S. personnel and the
American Embassy in Baghdad.
About 170 of those forces have
already arrived and another 100
soldiers be on standby in a near-
by country until they are needed,
a U.S. official said.
While Obama has vowed to
keep U.S. forces out of combat in
Iraq, he said in his notification to
Congress that the personnel
moving into the region are
equipped for direct fighting.
And separately, three U.S. offi-
cials said the White House was
considering sending a contingent
of special forces soldiers to Iraq.
Their limited mission which
has not yet been approved
would focus on training and
advising beleaguered Iraqi
troops, many of whom have fled
their posts across the nations
north and west as the al-Qaida-
inspired insurgency has advanced
in the worst threat to the country
since American troops left in
2011 .
The moves come at the White
House wrestles with an array of
options for helping Iraq repel a
Sunni Muslim insurgency that
has captured large swaths of terri-
tory collaring Baghdad, the capi-
tal of the Shiite-led government.
In a rare move, U.S. officials
reached out to Iran Monday to
discuss ways the long-time foes
might help stop the militants
known as the Islamic State of Iraq
and the Levant.
The conversations took place
on the sidelines of separate
nuclear negotiations taking place
in Vienna, Austria. U.S. officials
quickly tamped down speculation
that the discussion might include
military coordination or consul-
tation, though Secretary of State
John Kerry said in an interview
with Yahoo! News that the U.S.
would not rule out anything that
would be constructive.
More U.S. troops
to Iraq; special
forces considered

WASHINGTON After years
of pressure from gay rights
groups, President Barack Obama
plans to sign an executive order
banning federal contractors from
discriminating against employ-
ees on the basis of their sexual
orientation or gender identity,
the White House said Monday.
While Obama lacks the author-
ity to extend that protection to
all Americans, the order being
drafted by the White House would
impact about 14 million workers
whose employers or states cur-
rently do not ban workplace dis-
crimination against gay, les-
bian, bisexual and transgender
individuals. The scope of the
measure was tabulated by the
Williams Institute at UCLA Law
School, which studies sexual ori-
entation and gender identity law
and public policy.
The president has resisted
signing the order in hopes
Congress would pass a broader
non-discrimination measure that
would apply to nearly all
employers. While the Senate
passed the legislation last year,
the measure has languished in
the Republican-led House and
there is little sign that lawmak-
ers will take it up in an election
year.
Weve been waiting for quite a
few months now for the House to
take action and unfortunately
there are no particularly strong
indications that Congress is pre-
pared to act on this, White
House spokesman Josh Earnest
said.
The White Houses announce-
ment was a significant victory for
gay rights advocates, who widely
praised Obamas decision.

Russia cuts gas supply to Ukraine as tensions soar
By Nataliya Vasilyeva and David McHugh
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MOSCOW Russia halted natural gas deliveries to
Ukraine on Monday, spurning Ukraines offer to pay some
of its multibillion-dollar gas debt and demanding upfront
payments for future supplies.
The decision, coming amid deep tensions over eastern
Ukraine, provoked strong words from both sides but does
not immediately affect the crucial ow of Russian gas to
Europe. Ukraine has enough reserves to last until December,
according to the head of its state gas company Naftogaz.
Still, the Russian move could disrupt Europes long-term
energy supplies if the issue is not resolved, analysts said.
Previous gas disputes left Ukraine and some Balkan nations
shivering for nearly two weeks in the dead of winter.
The gas conict is part of a wider dispute over whether
Ukraine aligns itself with Russia or with the 28-nation
European Union and comes amid a crisis in relations fol-
lowing Russias annexation of Ukraines Crimean
Peninsula in March. Ukraine accuses Russia of supporting
an armed separatist insurgency in its eastern regions, which
Russia denies.
Ukraines new president, meanwhile, said Monday that he
will propose a detailed peace plan this week that includes a
cease-re with the separatist rebels. But before that hap-
pens, the armed forces must secure control over Ukraines
porous border with Russia, President Petro Poroshenko said
at a meeting of his national security council.
As soon as the border is closed, we can immediately
declare a cease-re, he said. Declaring a cease-re while
the border is open would be irresponsible.
There was no immediate response from the separatists to
Poroshenkos comments.
Ukraine, one of the most energy inefcient countries in
Europe, has been chronically behind on payments for the
Russian natural gas needed to heat its homes and fuel its
industries. In addition, Russia had been giving its neighbor
cut-rate sweetheart deals on gas for various political rea-
sons, a practice that came to a halt April 1.
Russia had demanded $1.95 billion by Monday for past-
due bills. At talks over the weekend in Kiev, Ukraine was
ready to accept a compromise of paying $1 billion now and
more later, but Russia rejected the offer, the European
Commission said.
Sergei Kupriyanov, spokesman for Russian gas giant
Gazprom, said since Ukraine missed the deadline, from now
on it had to pay in advance for energy. Yet thats a nearly
impossible demand for the cash-strapped nation, which is
ghting an insurgency and investigating possibly billions
lost to corruption under its former pro-Russian president,
Viktor Yanukovych.
Senate elects Los Angeles
Democrat as next leader
By Judy Lin
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO The state Senate on Monday named as
its next leader a Los Angeles Democrat who is best known
for championing policies benefiting
low-wage workers and their children.
By voice vote, the 40-member cham-
ber elected Sen. Kevin de Leon to succeed
Senate President Pro Tem Darrell
Steinberg of Sacramento, who will step
down Oct. 15, about seven weeks after
this years legislative session has ended.
De Leon, 47, will become just the sec-
ond Latino leader of the Senate, and the
rst in more than 130 years.
Steinberg described de Leon as a lawmaker who is not
afraid to lead. He cited his role last year in pushing a bill
that gave immigrants in the country illegally a way to
obtain drivers licenses, an attempt that succeeded after sev-
eral years of failure.
Kevin is smart. He is seasoned. He is hungry to get big
things done, Steinberg told his colleagues before the vote.
De Leons rise to one of the most powerful political posi-
tions in the state came even after his name surfaced in a fed-
eral corruption probe against a fellow state lawmaker.
De Leons name was mentioned dozens of times in an FBI
afdavit that accused suspended Sen. Ron Calderon, D-
Montebello, of accepting about $100,000 for himself and
family members in exchange for promoting legislation
seeking to expand Hollywood tax credits and to protect the
nancial interests of a hospital that beneted from a provi-
sion of Californias workers compensation law.
De Leon accepted $5,000 in campaign contributions from
an undercover agent, money he returned to the FBI as soon
as he learned it came from an undercover agent.
He was subpoenaed by federal prosecutors but has a letter
saying he is just a witness in the case and is not a target. No
charges have been led against de Leon, and the U.S. attor-
neys ofce in Los Angeles declined to comment Monday.

OPINION 9
Tuesday June 17, 2014 THEDAILYJOURNAL
Leave them! Is this the
policy of RediWheels?
Editor,
I am 81 years old, survived four
cancer operations, am diabetic and am
on dialysis in Burlingame. I take
RediWheels to and from the clinic for
my dialysis. Most of the time
RediWheels is on time, but when they
are late picking me up, my dialysis
starts later.
On Saturday the driver picked me up
late so my ending time with the pro-
cedure was late. I was to be picked up
to go home between 4:15 p.m. and
4:35 p.m. I hoped the driver would
wait as it would be a tight schedule to
nish by 4:35 p.m. I nished two
minutes late but the RediWheels driv-
er left before I got outside to board
the car. Most drivers at this pick-up
stop check inside to see if the patient
is nished with dialysis. One of the
attendants at DaVita told me the
RediWheels driver has left patients
stranded a number of times and they
have to nd some other ride. Two
minutes. Is that the policy of
RediWheels to leave ailing and elder-
ly people standing out in the cold
without a ride home? The clinic clos-
es at 5 oclock but I was allowed back
in out of the cold to solve my situa-
tion. The attendants inside DaVita
said they could call me a cab. Call a
cab it costs $30 to ride a cab to
San Bruno from the clinic. I dont
have that kind of money. Luckily,
after several panic phone calls, a
neighbor was contacted and he said he
would pick me up.
I feel very upset that RediWheels
would leave any invalid, handicapped
or medical patient standing in the
cold or rain for being two minutes
late. Have a little compassion for the
senior citizens of San Mateo County.
And a little more patience about a
short delay getting out of dialysis and
into the RediWheels vehicle.

Letter to the editor
By Michael Brownrigg
T
his week, I will be joining 11
other Silicon Valley mayors
and vice mayors on a trip to
China, the rst ever by such a group.
Collectively, our cities represent
more than 550,000 citizens in the
Bay Area, from Millbrae to Morgan
Hill, from Union City to Menlo Park;
we are headquarters to many iconic
American companies, including
Apple, Google and Facebook; and we
are one of the main gateways to the
United States for Asia.
Our trip, being coordinated and
underwritten by a nonprot group
called China Silicon Valley, will take
the delegation to Beijing, Shanghai,
Wuhan and Shenzhen in the south. We
will be meeting with national govern-
ment leaders, provincial leaders and
mayors; we will also be attending a
high-tech event in Wuhan and meet-
ing with various business ofcials in
each of the cities. We look forward to
briengs from the U.S. Embassy and
consulates on the state of our politi-
cal, economic and commercial rela-
tions with China. We also look for-
ward to soaking in some of Chinas
culture and historic sites.
Why are we doing this? After all,
none of us is a full-time, paid politi-
cian; we all have our real jobs and
families from which we have to
arrange time away.
While I cannot speak for the whole
delegation, I suspect our motivations
are similar. We recognize that the
world our kids are moving into is not
the world in which we grew up. The
days of the United States being the
dominant global economy and, lets
face it, dominant global culture are
shifting as prosperity grows by leaps
in China, Brazil,
Mexico and Africa.
These developing
markets are now
huge opportunities
for our companies
but they are also
places where we can
learn from and
interact with on
challenges like climate change and
ghting terrorism. The United States
cannot solve those global issues
alone.
Californians, and Westerners in
general, have a lot to contribute in
this regard. I know from my experi-
ence in Washington, D.C., that the
eastern seaboard of our country looks
to Europe rst and, for many of them,
Africa is their nearest developing
market. Here in the West, by contrast,
our natural afnity is toward Asia and
Latin America. Some say the 20th
century was the Atlantic Century and
the 21st will be the Pacic Century. If
so, then we need western political and
business leaders to help chart the
way. This trip to China is one such
initiative.
We also know that relations with
Chinese ofcials and businesses are
not built on lawyers or dollar bills.
China is a culture built on trust more
than contracts. And trust cannot be
bought it has to be earned, one cup
of tea at a time. I was asked by one
journalist (not with the Daily
Journal!) whether I thought
Burlingame was competing with our
sister cities on this trip for spoils
from China. Far from it, I replied
we are each building our own trusted
relations with our hosts and starting
what will be a longer journey toward
mutual prosperity.
That said, we in Burlingame have a
special historical tie to China. The
man who gave our city its name,
Anson Burlingame, was the rst
American ambassador to China,
appointed in 1861 by President
Lincoln. Ambassador Burlingame was
so respected in China that when his
tour was over, the Chinese govern-
ment asked him to be their ambassa-
dor back to the United States! Im not
sure that has ever happened.
Burlingame proved himself a friend of
American democracy and diplomacy
and I am proud to carry that mantle
back to China with our delegation.
And I hope that one day we might be
able to build a statue in a new Town
Square to Anson Burlingame recalling
his contributions to U.S.-China rela-
tions.
Those are some of the reasons I am
traveling to China. There may not be
much that is concrete from the trip
upon our return, yet I know that we
will have moved the ball forward
toward peace, prosperity and partner-
ship on the challenges that confront
us.
Michael Brownrigg is the mayor of
Burlingame and the founder of Total
Impact Advisors, a merchant bank for
impact investment. The Delegation
comprises mayors and vice mayors
from Burlingame, Cupertino, East Palo
Alto, Hayward, Menlo Park, Millbrae,
Moraga, Morgan Hill, Mountain View,
Oakley, Scotts Valley and Union City.
Why I am going to China
A lot of pomp for the
wrong circumstance
T
he party in the back room of the restaurant was
obviously the happening place to be. Fancy out-
fits, trays of food, balloons and bouquets every-
where, a huge sheet cake, lots of people buzzing about
a handful of partygoers who seemed to be on the
shorter side. Short as in not quite tall enough for those
scary rides at the amusement park and certainly a bit sur-
prising in a place better known for its strong drinks and
steep price tag.
I asked the barkeep, with whom Im friendly, what was
going on? Im never
above casually crash-
ing a shindig to wish
the man or woman of
the hour well and stick
a finger in the corner
of the icing.
Kindergarten gradua-
tion, came the answer.
Seriously? Was
kindergarten that diffi-
cult? Did finger-paint-
ing and recess cause a
mid-year motivational
crisis?
Yes, seriously, she
said.
My nieces junior
college graduation just
a week before didnt merit this much pomp and circum-
stance and her journey was a multi-year endeavor ham-
pered by two young children and a decent amount of
sloth. The family had to turn out in full force for her
diploma and mortar board celebration. It was certainly
an accomplishment and we wanted to encourage her to
continue toward a four-year degree, even if in her case it
may take double digits.
But kindergarten? Graduation? Or, rather as Ive
learned, the term is now promotion as though the class
of 2014 aced their yearly performance evaluation and
will finally get that cost-of-living increase.
Could be this particular family and this particular
pint-size graduate are a rare bunch who take education
or at least an excuse for a good party very seriously.
Could be that they are more high-brow than I ever will
be. After delivering the graduates iced tea, the bartender
told me, the 6-year-old girl looked at the assortments of
real and fake sugars and asked for a side of agave sweet-
ener. Mercy.
Later the girl and her equally-sized companion sidled
up the bar like a bunch of happy hour pros decked out in
ribbons and shiny shoes. The bartender bent down and
over the counter to hear the request with the rest of us
eavesdropping.
Can my friend sample a Shirley Temple?
In other words, this was not a crowd for whom a hug
and a trip to the pizza parlor was going to suffice.
Money and class and non-alcoholic beverage aside,
does a kindergartner deserve not to mention need a
large-scale lauding of a milestone that frankly should be
a given? The same goes for students of other class lev-
els which are now getting into the Hallmark-ization of
graduation with balloons, flowers and printed invita-
tions long before the more traditional high school send-
off. Its not that we shouldnt be proud of fifth-graders,
sixth-graders or anyone else who survived that years
servings of reading, writing and rithmetic. And certain-
ly there was a time and place when making it past fifth-
grade was a serious achievement. Perhaps Im remiss and
this is still the case in some corners. For the majority,
though, elementary school is traditionally not where
the success buck stops.
If a child is getting a party at kindergarten, what in
the world is she going to expect come third-grade? And
if her parents dont throw a rager after eighth-grade,
whats she going to do drop out, give up and shack
up? If so, chances are many more issues are at play than
simply not getting the right DJ at the post-middle
school sendoff.
Perhaps I am simply out of touch with the ways of
todays graduation rites. It might also be that in hind-
sight the piata and punch my kindergarten class had on
the last day just doesnt measure up.
However, thats not saying I didnt get anything when
I successfully completed kindergarten.
I got to go to first-grade.

Big movers
By Alex Veiga
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Investors nudged U.S. stocks into
positive territory Monday, thanks in
part to another round of corporate cou-
plings.
Three proposed acquisitions, includ-
ing medical device maker Medtronics
$42.9 billion bid for rival Covidien,
helped the market eke out a slight gain
for the second trading day in a row.
Homebuilding stocks also got a
boost from a survey showing that U.S.
homebuilders outlook on the housing
market improved this month.
Stocks mostly hovered between
small gains and losses through much
of the day as traders monitored the con-
ict in Iraq and considered its potential
impact on oil prices.
Major U.S. stock indexes were down
in premarket trading, but began to
rebound within the first hour as
investors bid up shares in Ireland-
based Covidien. The stock jumped
$14.73, or more than 20 percent, to
$86.75. Medtronic shed 67 cents, or
1.1 percent, to $60.03.
Merger Monday clearly gave a lift
to the market, said Joe Peta, manag-
ing director at Novus.
Two other deals also drew heightened
interest from traders.
Williams Cos. hit an all-time high
after the pipeline operator agreed to
buy a part of natural gas processor
Access Midstream Partners for nearly
$6 billion. Williams vaulted $8.84, or
18.7 percent, to $56.02.
TW Telecom climbed $2.65, or 7.3
percent, to $38.99 after the Internet
provider agreed to be acquired by Level
3 Communications for about $7.3 bil-
lion, including debt. Level 3 shares
fell $1.79, or 4.1 percent, to $42.30.
The market was still heading for a
loss in the nal hour of trading, then
recovered within the last 10 minutes.
All told, the Standard & Poors 500

The market has been sluggish in
recent months, even as investors have

cerns to worry about. Earlier this year,
it was currency concerns in Turkey and
then the fallout from Russian-Ukraine

Iraq erupted, causing a spike in oil
prices.
Still, the day-to-day market swings

DETROIT General Motors says it
needs to change or replace the keys
for about 3.4 million cars because
they could cause the ignition switch
to move out of position if theyre car-
rying too much weight.
GM said in a statement Monday that
the switches can rotate out of run if
the key has excess weight and the car
experiences some jarring event,
such as hitting a pothole or crossing
a railroad track.
That can shut off the engines and
disable power steering, causing driv-
ers to lose control. Also, the air bags
wont work. The recall affects seven
cars with model years ranging from
2000 to 2014.
GM is already recalling 2.6 million
older small cars, mostly in the U.S.,
for a similar problem where the igni-
tion switch slips out of run and
causes an engine stall. In that case,
the problem is with the mechanics of
the switch. In this latest recall, GM
says the problem is with the design of
the key.
GM began reviewing ignition
switches across its line-up after initi-
ating the earlier recall. GM links that
switch problem to 13 deaths. GM
says it knows of eight crashes and six
injuries tied to the latest ignition
switch recall.
The company also raised its expect-
ed second-quarter charge for recall
expenses to $700 million.
The latest recall covers the 2005-
2009 Buick LaCrosse, 2006-2014
Chevrolet Impala, 2000 to 2005
Cadillac Deville, 2004-2011 Cadillac
DTS, the 2006-2011 Buick Lucerne,
the 2004 and 2005 Buick Regal LS
and GS, and the Chevy Monte Carlo
from the 2006 through 2008 model
years.
GM says dealers will add an insert to
the car keys to change the hole from a
slot to a circle. The company says
that until the repairs are made, owners
should remove everything from their
keychains and drive with only the key
in the ignition.
GM also is recalling 166,000 other
cars for a series of other problems.
The recalls announced Monday
bring to 44 the total number of GM
recalls this year, covering 17.73 mil-
lion vehicles in the U.S. and more
than 20 million worldwide. The com-
pany has surpassed its old U.S. full-
year recall record of 10.75 million
vehicles set in 2004.

NEW YORK Starbucks is giving
its baristas a shot at an online college
degree, an unusual benet in an indus-
try where higher education is often out
of reach for workers.
The coffee chain is partnering with
Arizona State University to make an
online undergraduate degree available
at a steep discount to any of its
135,000 U.S. employees who work at
least 20 hours a week.
The program underscores the
predicament of many workers who
earn low wages, dont have much job
security and often hold down more
than one job. It also highlights the
stark disparities in advancement
opportunities between the rich and
poor, and how a traditional college
education remains a near impossibili-
ty for so many.
At an event in New York City on
Monday, CEO Howard Schultz told an
audience of about 340 Starbucks work-
ers and their guests that the issue was
personal because he was the rst in his
family to attend college.

Oil barely changed as
market watches Iraq turmoil
The price of oil nished down 1 cent as fears of widen-
ing instability in Iraq, a key energy producer, were tem-
pered by views that its oil exports would not be affected
for now.
The benchmark U.S. crude contract for July delivery
closed at $106.90 on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
Earlier Monday, it reached $107.54. Brent crude, a bench-
mark for international oils, gained 48 cents to $112.94 a
barrel on the ICE Futures exchange in London.
The northern town of Tal Afar became the latest to fall
to the militants, who have already captured a vast swath of
territory including Iraqs second-largest city, Mosul. The
militants vow to march on Baghdad.
The capture of Mosul, a crucial gateway for Iraqs crude,
raised worries about whether the country can rebuild its
energy infrastructure and boost production to meet global
demand, but most of Iraqs oil exports appeared to be
beyond the militants reach.
Oil production in the south of the country is still
secure, said analysts at Commerzbank in Frankfurt in a
note to clients, pointing out that around 90 percent of
Iraqs oil exports of 2.5 million barrels a day were
shipped from there.
Safeway resolves lawsuit over sale to Cerberus
NEWYORK Supermarket chain Safeway said Monday
that it agreed to resolve a shareholder lawsuit over its
pending sale to an investment group led by Cerberus
Capital Management.
Safeway said it will terminate its poison pill share-
holder rights plan on Thursday instead of letting the plan
expire in September. Such plans are often used to deter
unwanted takeovers. The company also adjusted terms of
the deal related to its ownership of Casa Ley, a Mexican
food and merchandise retailer.
Shares of Safeway Inc. gained 6 cents to $34.15 in
afternoon trading. They have been steady over the past
three months but are up 57 percent since a year ago.
In March Cerberus agreed to buy Safeway for $7.64 bil-
lion, or $32.50 per share, in cash. Pending other transac-
tions the deal could top $9 billion, or about $40 per
share.
GPS tracking case has left unsettled questions
WASHINGTON A2-year-old Supreme Court decision
has added more confusion, rather than clarity, about how
police may track the whereabouts of criminal suspects.
In 2012, the justices unanimously afrmed a lower court
ruling that police made an error when they didnt have a
valid warrant but still attached a GPS tracking device to
the car of a Washington, D.C., nightclub owner. It led
them to a stash house for drugs.
But in three separate opinions, the justices offered dif-
ferent legal rationales and thats left a muddled legal
landscape.

Cambron deals
By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
When Sequoia pitcher Kyle Cambron threw 123 pitches as he worked into the
seventh inning of the season opener against Carlmont, it was just the beginning
of a season that saw Cambron become the denition of workhorse.
That opening-day assignment set the tone for a season in which Cambron
worked into at least six innings in all 14 of his starts while compiling an 11-2
record. He threw nine straight complete games to end the season, allowed just 15
earned runs for a 1.17 ERA, had a nearly 3-to-1 strikeout-to-walk ratio and held
the opposition to just a .217 batting average.
It was pretty awesome, Cambron said of his nal high school season.
So awesome, in fact, his performance earns him the San
Mateo Daily Journals Baseball Player of the Year
honor.

Number one, not only are the Giants not

Alittle over a week ago, San Francisco
was threatening to run away with the divi-

with a 9 1/2-game lead over the Dodgers.
Everything was right in the world. No,

Giants manager Bruce Bochy was quoted as
saying following a 6-4 win over the Mets.
Everything was clicking. They were mash-
ing homers at an unbelievable rate and the
bullpen was lights out.
Media types were extolling the virtues of

Faulkner fulfills destiny
By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Two days after pitching a masterpiece to lead Carlmont to a Central Coast
Section Division I crown, Rebecca Faulkner was right back in the circle with
her travel team the San Jose Sting. Thats pretty much a day in the life for the
left-handed ace who recently graduated Carlmont after a prestigious four-year
varsity career.
Faulkner did it all in her senior year with Carlmont. With the bat, she tabbed a
.424 batting average while pacing the squad in hits (42) and RBIs (40). With her
arm, she chiseled a 19-1 record, including her rst career perfect game against
Burlingame on April 10 and a brilliant three-hitter against San Benito May 31 in
the CCS championship game.
Beyond the numbers, there was no more dominant force on a CCS softball
diamond this season than Faulkner. Its for this reason she has been named

American defender Matt Besler, right, goes up for a header
over Ghana's Asamoah Gyan during the United States 2-1
win in the World Cup opener for both teams in Natal, Brazil.
By Ronald Blum
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NATAL, Brazil After 90 brutal minutes of end-to-end
action, the Americans emerged with a thrilling 2-1 win over
Ghana.
It was a grind, but it was a wonderful win at the end of the
day, coach Jurgen Klinsmann said.
U.S. fans were screaming for revenge Monday after the
Black Stars eliminated the Americans from the last two
Cups.
They got it. At a price.
Clint Dempsey scored a shocking goal a half-minute in,
but the U.S. couldnt make it stand up. Andre Ayew tied the
score in the 82nd minute after a brilliant back-heel pass
from Asamoah Gyan, who had eliminated the U.S. four years
ago.
And then, just four minutes later, 21-year-old John
Brooks rose to head in Graham Zusis corner kick from 8
yards the rst substitute to ever score for the United
States in 30 World Cup games over 84 years. The defender,
an unexpected addition to the American roster, was so over-
come he fell to the eld and was unable to move even after
teammates climbed off the dog pile. He had made his nation-
al team debut only last August, and Brooks hadnt scored in
four appearances.
U.S. players ran onto the eld to celebrate at the nal
whistle, jumping as supporters chanted U-S-A! U-S-A!
Now theyre in good position in Group G, where Germany
opened with a 4-0 rout of Cristiano Ronaldo and Portugal.
After the game, Vice President Joe Biden visited the vic-
torious Americans in their locker room.
We got the three points that we badly wanted,
Klinsmann said.
He had predicted this would be like a nal. Jozy Altidore
was hoping it wasnt his nale.
The forward was carried off on a stretcher after his left
hamstring gave out in the 21st minute when he tried to con-
trol a long ball. He awaits tests that will determine whether
he can return for this World Cup.
Dempsey went down too on a balmy late-autumn night,
but he stayed in the game. The U.S. captain ended the rst

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

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

Then came this past week that saw the
Giants lose 3 of 4 to the Washington
Nationals and then three late-inning col-
lapses against the Rockies over the week-
end. The home run train kind of dried up and
the lights-out bullpen was suddenly icker-
ing. Suddenly, the sky is falling. The
Giants are now only 16 games over .500
and their lead in the division over the
Dodgers is only 6 1/2 going into
Monday.
Uh, Im pretty sure every single team in
any sport would love to have those kind of
numbers.
The benet of the Giants hot start is just
this: it enables them to weather the
inevitable valleys that always accompany
the peaks that go along with a long base-
ball season. It may be a clich, but it is
true: baseball is a marathon, not a sprint.

The United States Mens National Soccer
Team opened its World Cup with a 2-1 win
over Ghana Monday afternoon and if the
rest of the tournament is like this, I may
not make it.
The U.S. pulled out a clutch 2-1 win over
the Black Stars with second-half substitute
John Brooks scoring the game winner with
about 10 minutes left in the contest, this
after Clint Dempsey gave the U.S. a 1-0
lead less than a minute into the match.
The only good that came from the match
is the U.S. won. The rest? Eh. After that
opening goal, the U.S. appeared to bunker
in defensively. Ghana, applying pressure
for most of the match, eventually found the
equalizer in the 82nd minute and it appeared
the Americans strategy would backre,
until Brooks found the back of the net on a
header off a corner kick.
The man of the match was clearly mid-
elder Jermaine Jones, who excelled on
both offense and defense. He was all over
the eld, putting pressure on the Ghanians.
That was in stark contrast to American
midelder Michael Bradley, who struggled
with his touch all game long. Perhaps all
the buildup about him being the Americans
playmaker was too much for him to handle.
Either that or he was weighed down by the
pressure of the World Cup in general.
Whatever the case, he did not play well.
The good news is, even without a strong
overall performance, the U.S. pulled out
the win and now stands second in the four-
team Group G, the so-called Group of
Death, behind Germany.
I predicted the U.S. going through to the
knockout round with a win over Ghana, fol-
lowed by a win over Portugal. Given
Portugals struggles in a 4-0 loss to
Germany, its not so far-fetched that the
Americans will beat them as well.
But theyll have to play better than they
did against Ghana. If not, their third game
against Germany could decide their fate.
And given the way the Germans pounded
Portugal, that is not an enticing thought.

the San Mateo Daily Journal Softball
Player of the Year.
Rebecca is certainly one of our top
pitchers of all time, Carlmont head
coach Jim Liggett said. Weve had some
really good ones. Also, she hits very
well. She was probably our most danger-
ous hitter.
What makes Faulkners pitching unique
is she does not concern herself with
strikeouts. She employs an aggressive
strategy of pitching to contact and is a
master of taking the swing out of oppos-
ing batters swings.
Growing up around the game of base-
ball, Faulkner relied heavily on talking
pitching with her older brother Josh.
Perhaps the baseball approach is what
differentiates her from the great strikeout
queens throughout softball history such
as Lisa Fernandez and Jennie Finch. Even
throughout Carlmonts storied history,
the top pitchers Tori Nyberg, Ashley
Chinn, Monique Castillo, Jerrica
Castagno and Deanna Earsley were
reliant on throwing the ball by hitters.
Not the case with Faulkner, who unlike
the aforementioned Scots greats never
struck out more than 200 batters in a sea-
son.
I dont really look for the strikeout,
Faulkner said. I have a lot of players
behind me, and on Carlmont we had so
many good players. I knew that if [bat-
ters] hit it, theyre going to feel it. So
that was nice to have, because I didnt
feel like it was all on me. I had such a
great support system, so it was easy.
Carlmont had a core of seniors who
were destined to leave a championship
legacy. Faulkner was one of three Scots
seniors to make the varsity team as a
freshman. And she made the cut after two
weeks of a nose-to-the-grindstone effort
which became her calling card through-
out her prep career. Yet she was sincerely
shocked to see her name on the casting
list for the 2011 Scots.
I was shocked, Faulkner said.
[Liggett] had said that if I kept working
hard that Id definitely have an opportu-
nity to be on varsity, so Id always give
a hundred percent. Even if the coaches
werent watching Id make sure Id be
doing what Im supposed to do because I
just really wanted to get the opportunity
to play.
Faulkner didnt have an immediate
impact on the varsity diamond though.
In fact, during her freshman season, she
platooned with two other starting pitch-
ers Aurora Stottler and Danielle
Giuliacci.
She was pretty good as a freshman,
Liggett said. But it wasnt until her jun-
ior year when she became the No. 1
pitcher and took over most of the pitch-
ing duties and really started achieving
what we saw her achieve at the end of this
year. And her 23-1 (record as a junior)
was a pretty good standard there.
Indeed, Faulkner had a s
olid sophomore campaign in which she
shared the team lead in wins (10) with
Giuliacci. However, at the outset of
2013, Giuliacci decided to quit pitching
and focus on playing center field. It
proved a major departure from Faulkners
routine after she and Giuliacci grew up
together, first having pitched for the
same team as 8-year-olds with the
Belmont Blast All-Star team. They con-
tinued to work as a pitching tandem
which eventually saw them dubbed the
dynamic duo a nickname that followed
them all the way through high school.
But after Giuliacci converted to center
field fulltime, Faulkner saw the biggest
single-season workload of her career as a
junior. She responded big time, posting a
23-win season en route to winning her
first of two Peninsula Athletic League
Bay Division Player of the Year awards.
It was a lot of work, Faulkner said.
Looking back at it, Im pretty shocked
at how I did it. Realizing how much I
pitched this year, I pitched even more the
year before. I pitched a lot. But it was
definitely a learning experience to go
through that, knowing youre going to
be pitching every game, you have to
make sure youre on it every game.
Being on it every game was something
Faulkner did for the remainder of her high
school career, only losing twice over her
final two seasons. Throughout her senior
season, she returned to sharing time as a
starting pitcher with junior Mariko
Kondo. And while Faulkner is committed
to play at UC Riverside next season, she
aspires to continue doing what she did so
well, for so long, at Carlmont. While she
said she isnt taking anything for grant-
ed, she hopes to continue as a two-way
player. She is also content to continue
sharing time in the circle, as Riverside
will return right-handed pitcher Alyssa
Razo for her senior season in 2015.
Faulkner said she also expects another
freshman arm to be added to the mix.
Whatever the future holds, no one can
take away the season of destiny of the
2014 CCS champion Scots. However,
amid the Carlmont championship cele-
bration at San Joses PAL Stadium was a
noticeable, but understandable melan-
chol y.
I think that those tears you saw at the
end was an accumulation of a lot of hard
work and effort all that coming to
fruition, Liggett said. They worked
hard for it. They achieved it. And the
emotional release was really great. I
think there were other things going on
t oo. We had seven captains. They were
close and they knew the end of an era was
here for them, that this would be the end
of their playing together.

Buehler relief lifts Vandy over Irvine
Walker Buehler pitched 5 1-3 innings of
no-hit relief, and John Norwood drove in
the go-ahead run and another for insurance
in Vanderbilts 6-4 win over UC Irvine at the
College World Series on Monday night.
Buehler took over for struggling rst-
round draft pick Tyler Beede and helped
move Vanderbilt within one win of the CWS
championship round. The Commodores (48-
19) will play in a bracket final Friday
against the winner of a Wednesday elimina-
tion game between UC Irvine (41-24) and
Texas.
Buehler (12-2) retired the rst nine batters
he faced and nished with seven strikeouts
in only his third relief appearance of the
year. Only two balls were hit out of the
ineld against him.
Norwoods bases-loaded sacrice y in
the fth inning put Vanderbilt up 5-4, and
his two-strike, two-out single in the sev-
enth made it a two-run game.
Texas ousts Louisville
Parker French and Travis Duke limited
Louisville to four hits, and Texas manufactured
runs in three straight innings to beat the
Cardinals 4-1 in a College World Series elimi-
nation game Monday.
The Longhorns (44-20) ended a four-game
CWS losing streak dating to 2009 and will play
Vanderbilt or UC Irvine in another elimination
game Wednesday. Louisville (50-17) went 0-2
in the CWS for the second straight year and is 1-
6 in three appearances in Omaha.
French (7-5) held the Cardinals to four singles
in 7 1-3 innings, and Duke retired their last ve
batters for his rst save.
Louisville sophomore starter Anthony
Kidston (9-1) lost for the rst time in 15 deci-
sions as a collegian and the Cardinals commit-
ted four errors, just as they did in their elimina-
tion-game loss to Oregon State last year.

OAKLAND Donnie Murphy homered
twice, Colby Lewis overcame an uneven
start to win for the rst time in more than
three weeks and the Texas Rangers beat the
Oakland Athletics 14-8 on Monday night.
Michael Choice and Robinson Chirinos
also homered, and Adrian Beltre drove in
three runs to lead the Rangers to their fourth
straight win at the Coliseum. Texas swept a
three-game series in Oakland in April.
Murphy hit a two-run home run in the
fourth and a solo shot in the ninth.
The Rangers, who began the night eight
games behind the division-leading As ,
nearly let it slip away. They led 11-3 before
Oakland scored four times in the sixth and
once in the eighth.
Yoenis Cespedes hit a three-run home run
while Brandon Moss added his 17th for
Oakland.
Lewis (5-4) allowed 10 hits and ve runs
over 5 1-3 innings to win for the rst time
since May 25. The one-time As farmhand,
pitching on ve days rest, worked in and
out of trouble most of the night off the same
mound he made his nal appearance on in
2012 before missing nearly two full sea-
sons due to a series of injuries. Lewis struck
out two and walked three.
Coco Crisp got the As going early when
he doubled past diving Texas center elder
Robertson and scored on John Jasos single.
Cespedes added a sacrice y to make it 2-0.
Texas tied it on Chirinos two-run single
off Oakland starter Drew Pomeranz in the
second, then broke the game open with a
six-run fourth. Murphy hit a two-run home
run, Dan Robertson added an RBI single and
Rougned Odor scored on a elders choice to
chase Pomeranz.
Beltres two-run double off reliever Ryan
Cook made it 8-2. Beltre added a sacrice y
in the sixth.
Lewis and ve relievers made it hold up.
The As, who scored twice in the rst,
pulled to 10-3 on Moss towering solo
home run in the fth.
Lewis left after giving up back-to-back
doubles to Alberto Callaspo and Crisp in the
sixth. Pinch-hitter Kyle Blanks drew a walk
off reliever Robbie Ross Jr. before
Cespedes hit his 13th home run to cut the
gap to 11-7.
Murphy and Chirinos hit back-to-back
home runs off Fernando Abad in the ninth.
Pomeranz (5-4) struggled in his shortest
outing since joining the As rotation in
early May. He allowed eight hits and eight
runs seven earned with two walks and
four strikeouts.
Callaspo had four hits for Oakland in his
rst game since being reinstated from the
paternity list.
NOTES: As starters had not allowed a
home run in seven games before giving up
four to Texas.
Amoment of silence was held before the
game for Hall of Fame outfielder Tony
Gwynn who died earlier in the day.
The As activated inelder Jake Elmore
from the 60-day disabled list and optioned
him to Triple-ASacramento.
Oakland agreed to terms with third base-
man Matt Chapman, their rst-round pick,
and shortstop Trace Loehr, a sixth-rounder.

SAN DIEGO Tony Gwynn could
handle a bat like few other major lea-
guers, whether it was driving the ball
through the 5.5 hole between third
base and shortstop or hitting a home
run off the facade in Yankee Stadium
in the World Series.
He was a craftsman at the plate,
whose sweet left-handed swing made
him one of baseballs greatest hit-
ters.
Gwynn loved San Diego.
San Diego loved Mr. Padre right
back.
Gwynn, a Hall of Famer and one of
the greatest athletes in San Diegos
history, died Monday of oral cancer,
a disease he attributed to years of
chewing tobacco. He was 54.
Our city is a little darker today
without him but immeasurably better
because of him, Mayor Kevin
Faulconer said in a statement.
In a rarity in pro sports, Gwynn
played his whole career with the
Padres, choosing to stay in the city
where he was a two-sport star in col-
lege, rather than leaving for bigger
paychecks elsewhere. His terric
hand-eye coordination made him
one of the games greatest pure hit-
ters. He had 3,141 hits 18th on
the all-time list a career .338
average and won eight batting titles
to tie Honus Wagners NLrecord.
He struck out only 434 times in
9,288 career at-bats. He played in
San Diegos only two World Series
batting a combined .371 and
was a 15-time All-Star. He had a
memorable home run in Game 1 of
the 1998 World Series off fellow San
Diegan David Wells, and scored the
winning run in the 1994 All-Star
Game despite a
bum knee.
Gwynn never
hit below .309
in a full season.
He spread out his
batting titles
from 1984,
when he batted
.351, to 1997,
when he hit
.372.
Gwynn was hitting .394 when a
players strike ended the 1994 sea-
son, denying him a shot at becom-
ing the rst player to hit .400 since
San Diego native Ted Williams hit
.406 in 1941.
Gwynn befriended Williams and
the two loved to talk about hitting.
Gwynn steadied Williams when he
threw out the ceremonial rst pitch
before the 1999 All-Star Game at
Bostons Fenway Park.
Fellow Hall of Famer Greg Maddux
tweeted, Tony Gwynn was the best
pure hitter I ever faced! Condolences
to his family.
Gwynn was known for his hearty
laugh and warm personality. Every
day at 4 p.m., Gwynn sat in the
Padres dugout and talked baseball or
anything else with the media.
Tim Flannery, who was teammates
with Gwynn on the Padres 1984
World Series team and later was on
San Diegos coaching staff, said
hell remember the cackle to his
laugh. He was always laughing,
always talking, always happy.
The baseball world is going to
miss one of the greats, and the world
itself is going to miss one of the
great men of mankind, said
Flannery, the San Francisco Giants
third base coach. He cared so much
for other people. He had a work ethic
unlike anybody else, and had a child-
like demeanor of playing the game
just because he loved it so much.
Gwynn had been on a medical
leave since late March from his job
as baseball coach at San Diego State,
his alma mater. He died at a hospital
in suburban Poway, agent John
Boggs said.
He was in a tough battle and the
thing I can critique is hes denitely
in a better place, Boggs said. He
suffered a lot. He battled. Thats
probably the best way I can describe
his ght against this illness he had,
and he was courageous until the end.
Gwynns wife, Alicia, and other
family members were at his side
when he died, Boggs said.
Gwynns son, Tony Jr., was with
the Philadelphia Phillies, who later
placed him on the bereavement list.
Today I lost my Dad, my best
friend and my mentor, Gwynn Jr.
tweeted. Im gonna miss u so much
pops. Im gonna do everything in
my power to continue to ... Make u
proud!
Gwynn had two operations for
cancer in his right cheek between
August 2010 and February 2012. The
second surgery was complicated,
with surgeons removing a facial
nerve because it was intertwined
with a tumor inside his right cheek.
They grafted a nerve from Gwynns
neck to help him eventually regain
facial movement.
Gwynn had been in and out of the
hospital and had spent time in a
rehab facility, Boggs said.
For more than 30 years, Tony
Gwynn was a source of universal
goodwill in the national pastime,
and he will be deeply missed by the
many people he touched,
Commissioner Bud Selig said.
Tony Gwynn,Mr. Padre, dies at 54

Conviction in Smith stabbing
SAN JOSE ASan Jose man has
been convicted of stabbing 49ers
linebacker Aldon Smith.
Santa Clara County Deputy
District Attorney Charles
Gillingham said Monday that 28-
year-old Steven Barba had entered
no-contest pleas to charges of assault
with a deadly weapon and being a
felon in possession of a gun during a
court hearing last week. The crimes
occurred during a 2012 house party at
which two people were shot, leading
to weapons charges against Smith.
According to Gillingham, Barba
was attending a party o Nov. 3,
2012, at Smiths San Jose home, and
when Smith tried to disperse the
rowdy crowd, Barba stabbed him
twice in the torso before eeing.
Smith was not seriously injured.
Barba is expected to be sentenced
to three years in prison on July 15.

games (in my ve-year tenure). I certainly
thought he could have a successful season,
said Sequoia manager Corey Uhalde. He
took his pitching to a higher level this
year.
None of Cambrons growth as a pitcher,
however, could not have without Cambron
himself wanting to do it. Going into his
senior year, Cambron revamped his pitch-
ing motion, added a couple of pitches to his
arsenal and accepted his role as a pitcher.
Last season, he wanted to play the eld
when he wasnt pitching. He tossed that
attitude aside this year.
I feel like I accepted the role (of being
just a pitcher) a little more, Cambron said.
It worked out well this year.
Over the last few years, Cambron has
experienced arm problems. He changed his
mechanics and not only did it keep his arm
healthy, it helped his command.
It was pretty big (overhauling my
mechanics). I used to pitch across my body
and this year I tried to come more over the
top, trying to get a little extra something
on it, Cambron said. It made my shoulder
feel better. No elbow pain. Helped my com-
mand.
He was told by a former summer coach
who played Division I ball that the pitchers
he had the most trouble with were those who
had three different off-speed pitches.
Cambron went from being a fastball-curve-
ball guy to adding a changeup and slider.
The two extra pitches were not simply
throwaway pitches, either. Uhalde said he
could throw all four pitches for strikes at
any time.
His biggest jump was learning how to
use those other pitches, Uhalde said.
All in all, Cambron simply took to heart
all the tips to make him a better pitcher. He
chalks it up to being open-minded to try dif-
ferent things.
Ever since I was a little kid, I was the
quiet, shy kid in the back. I just listened and
did what I was told, Cambron said. I dont
like to be the cocky, standofsh guy. I just
listen and take advice from others.
He also changed his mindset on the
mound. At 6-3, 220 pounds, it would be easy
to envision Cambron as a power pitcher. A
guy who simply reared back and threw the
ball with everything he had.
Cambron, in fact, is quite the opposite.
He doesnt throw hard enough to just be a
power pitcher. Id be shocked if he hit 86
(mph) this season. He was in the 83, 84
range. There is no way he would have the
success he did if he couldnt throw his [off-
speed pitches], Uhalde said.
Cambron admitted in the past he fancied
himself a power guy and got caught up in the
pursuit of strikeouts.
Last year, my whole thing was to get as
many strikeouts as possible. I thought that
would help win baseball games, Cambron
said.
Over the summer, however, he was among
the youngest players on his summer ball
team, facing batters who were older,
stronger and more experienced. It was there
Cambron really learned how to pitch to bat-
ters.
I was playing against older guys and I
couldnt overpower those guys, Cambron
said. You have to make pitches that have a
lot of movement. It gave me a new vision
on how to pitch.
Cambron said he started to pitch to con-
tact this season and let his defense help him
out. That strategy enabled Cambron to
avoid a lot of high-stress innings. And
while he may have thrown a lot of pitches
this season, Uhalde said he never believed
Cambron was at risk for an arm injury.
He just never really got himself in trou-
ble, Uhalde said. He did pitch a lot of
innings and faced a lot of batters. But they
were low-stress innings.
In high school baseball, you can be suc-
cessful with a mentality and mindset. I
think that was the biggest difference. He
learned how to take control of a game.
Cambron will now try to take what he
learned at the high school level to the col-
lege stage as he plans to pitch for Cabrillo
College in Santa Cruz for the next couple of
years and he hopes beyond.
I think I can (pitch at the next level), but
Im a little biased, Cambron said. I was
talking with the (Cabrillo) coach and he was
really excited I was on going down there
next year. He seemed excited to see I had the
pitches I have and the fact I can go deep in
games.
Cant really ask any more from a pitcher.

half with a tissue up his nose, which he said
was probably broken, to stop the bleeding
after John Boyes kick to his face during a
battle for a header in the 31st minute.
I just had trouble breathing, Dempsey
said afterward, his nose swollen and cut. I
was coughing up blood a little bit.
Hopefully Ill be able to breathe through my
nose again before the next game.
Tim Howard made big save after big save
as Ghana outshot the U.S. 21-8.
Matt Besler came out at the start of the
second half after feeling tightness in his
right hamstring. It was his replacement,
Brooks, who scored the winning goal. Zusi
was also a sub, coming on for the hobbling
Alejandro Bedoya in the second half.
By the time of the nal whistle, the U.S.
lineup had Brooks in central defense and a
virtually invisible 23-year-old Aron
Johannsson at forward.
The Americans showed a lot of heart, a
lot of character, Dempsey said.
Now the odds favor advancement. But that
might depend on which players are able to
make it on the field for Sundays game
against Portugal in the hot and humid
Amazon rain forest capital of Manaus.
This win means nothing unless were
able to build upon it the next two games,
Dempsey said.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Abold new way to test cancer drugs started
Monday in hundreds of hospitals around the
U.S. In a medical version of speed dating,
doctors will sort through multiple experi-
mental drugs and match patients to the one
most likely to succeed based on each per-
sons unique tumor gene prole.
Its a rst-of-a-kind experiment that brings
together ve drug companies, the govern-
ment, private foundations and advocacy
groups. The idea came from the federal Food
and Drug Administration, which has agreed to
consider approving new medicines based on
results from the study.
Its goal is to speed new treatments to
market and give seriously ill patients more
chances to nd something that will help.
Instead of being tested for individual genes
and trying to qualify for separate clinical
trials testing single drugs, patients can
enroll in this umbrella study, get full gene
testing and have access to many options at
once.
The study, called Lung-MAP, is for
advanced cases of a common, hard-to-treat
form of lung cancer squamous cell. Plans
for similar studies for breast and colon cancer
are in the works.
For patients, it gives them their best
chance for treatment of a deadly disease,
because everyone gets some type of therapy,
said Ellen Sigal, chairwoman and founder of
Friends of Cancer Research, a Washington-
based research and advocacy group that
helped plan and launch the study. Theres
something for everyone, and well get
answers faster on whether experimental
drugs work, she said.
Cancer medicines increasingly target spe-
cic gene mutations that are carried by small-
er groups of patients. But researchers some-
times have to screen hundreds of patients to
nd a few with the right mutation, making
drug development inefcient, expensive and
slow.
One of the leaders of the Lung-MAP study
Dr. Roy Herbst, chief of medical oncology
at the Yale Cancer Center said he once
screened 100 patients to nd ve that might
be eligible for a study, and ultimately was
able to enroll two.
Its just going to be impossible, in rare
subgroups, for companies to nd enough
people to try out a new medicine, said Dr.
Richard Pazdur, cancer drugs chief at the FDA.
He and others at the FDAsuggested the Lung-
MAP trial design to speed new treatments to
market and minimize the number of patients
exposed to ineffective therapies, he said.
Everyone in the study will be screened for
mutations in more than 200 cancer-related
genes, rather than a single mutation as in
conventional studies.
Then they will be assigned to one of ve
groups based on what these tumor biomark-
ers show. Each group will test a particular
experimental medicine. Drugs can be added or
subtracted from the study as it goes on, based
on how each performs.
The initial round of testing involves
Amgen, Genentech, Pzer, AstraZeneca PLC,
and AstraZenecas global biologics partner,
MedImmune. Up to 1,000 patients a year can
be enrolled in the study.
It will cost about $150 million. The
National Cancer Institute is paying $25 mil-
lion, and the rest will come from founda-
tions, charities and others in the public-pri-
vate partnership.
About 500 hospitals that are part of a large
cancer treatment consortium around the coun-
try will take part, and some private groups
want to join as well, Herbst said.
Study aims to rapidly
test lung cancer drugs
Cancer medicines increasingly target specic gene mutations that are carried by smaller
groups of patients.

Dental mouth guard treatsSleep Apnea and snoring
rants occupied the boat, including Bay
Winds.
It was moved because the contractor
defaulted and walked away in 2008, said
Mary May, one of the founding members of
the Burlingame Historical Society. The
widow of Sherman who had an ownership in
it didnt want to have any part of it and so it
sat there.
A former owner took out a big loan to
reopen the boat, then foreclosed on it. The
lender took over the ship, but eventually it
was decided it would have to leave
Burlingame by April 30. The State Lands
Commission owns the property and the city
and state were concerned about safety of the
Sherman, so asked for the boat to be moved,
according to Mayor Michael Brownrigg.
State lands are adjacent to where the
Sherman was anchored. The city would like
to work with the state to make 8 acres of
green grass and play area and to update the
Bay Trail.
Burlingame needs more open area,
Brownrigg said. The Sherman could have
existed with or without the state park, but I
do think that whole point might be redevel-
oped for water sports.
In terms of the Sherman relocation, there
were few places it could go, May said.
It took all this time to gure out where it
could be moored, she said. It had a very
involved history of money problems.
Built for the U.S. Army in 1921, the
Sherman was sent out to San Francisco and
that was its only ocean voyage. It then
became scenic tour ship but, in 1955, it was
discontinued because there were newer
ships. It then went to Stockton where
engines and hardware were removed to make
a restaurant in Stockton.
The ship saw some hope of renewal in
Burlingame back in October 2013, when the
Morgan Marine Group wrote a letter of
intent for turning the boat into an aquatic
center for kayaking, paddle boats and wind-
surng, while restoring the boat.
It was preempted by the needs of the
waterfront park that is going to be built,
said John Stahl, the marketing agent for the
Morgan Marine Group. It morphed into the
needs of the city.
Burlingame residents are sad to see the
ship go.
I think its a loss for Burlingame, said
Russ Cohen, a former councilman and vice
president of the Burlingame Historical
Society. It was an attraction that had lots
of potential, but it never got off the ground
in the last few years.
May is also sad to see it leave the city, but
it hoping to celebrate the boats 100th
anniversary in Stockton.
I have a lot of happy memories over
there, she said. Im 91 years old and am
the same age as the Sherman, so I feel a kin-
ship with it. Its really four months younger
than I am. Im really happy its going to be
having another life.
Still, there are better things to come to
the boats former site, said Brownrigg.
It is a small and stunning piece of
Burlingame history, but in light of its dilap-
idation its probably the right decision to
move it out and let better things take up that
space, he said.

No decision has been made to the other
nine charged with murder plus special
gang circumstances that make them death
penalty-eligible, Wagstaffe said.
The indictments came in March after an
18-month long investigation and a two-
month criminal grand jury which was
eight times longer than any other ever
conducted in San Mateo County.
The investigation, nicknamed
Operation Sunny Day in reference to the
code word used by gangmembers to indi-
cate a completed murder, nabbed 16 defen-
dants ranging in age from 19 to 28.
The others are Raymond Bradford, 28,

In April, Bustos-Montes defense attor-
ney Paul DeMeester publicly called on
Wagstaffe to take death off the table for all
defendants because he said it is an unnec-
essary drain on county finances.
Defendants facing capital charges are
appointed two attorneys and the defense
racks up hefty bills for investigators,
experts and their own work first to avoid a
conviction and then, if necessary, to find
mitigating reasons why the client should
not face lethal injection, according to
DeMeester.
After Mondays announcement,
DeMeester said he and his client were both
thrilled death was off the table.
Just not having the death prospect feels
like a win, he said, adding I hope that
my input was persuasive on the matter.
His client, Bustos-Montes, is charged
with Vargas and Hyland in the Oct. 5,
2012, fatal shooting of Christopher
Baker, 21, in East Palo Alto.
The alleged crime spree began before
that in September 2012, when Da Vi l l
gangmembers Vargas, Ware and Bradford
allegedly shot into another car on south-
bound Highway 101 near the Ralston
Avenue exit and hit two passengers.
Bradford is also charged with the
attempted robbery in a Middlefield Road
jewelry store heist that ended with the
clerk pulling out a shotgun.
Operation Sunny Day also included the
deaths of Stoney Gipson in San Francisco
on Oct. 7, 2012, Jonathan Neri Alzacar on
Jan. 14, 2013, in East Palo Alto and
Lamont Darnell Coleman, 21, on Jan. 16,
2013, in East Palo Alto.
Cragg, Bustos-Montes and Hyland are
charged in Colemans death. Bustos-
Montes is also charged with the murders of
Gipson and Hyland is charged in the mur-
ders of Coleman, Gipson and Alzacar.
The defendants are held in custody on
bail amounts ranging from $500,000 to
none. Coneal and Rivera are in custody in
other counties.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON Spending on veterans
health care could double in three years under
the Senates solution to the long waits
experienced by thousands seeking medical
care at VA hospitals and clinics, according
to congressional budget experts.
Analyzing a bill the Senate passed over-
whelmingly last week, the Congressional
Budget Ofce estimates the measure would
cost $35 billion over the next three years to
build new clinics, hire doctors and make it
easier for veterans who cant get prompt
appointments with VA doctors to get out-
side care.
Once the program was fully in place, the
budget ofce said it expects that veterans
would ultimately seek additional care that
would cost the federal government about
$50 billion a year in new spending
more than double the $44 billion the gov-
ernment now spends annually on medical
care for veterans.
Both the Senate bill and a House version
also passed this past week would dramati-
cally expand government-paid health care.
They would require the Veterans Affairs
Department to pay private providers to treat
qualifying veterans who cant get prompt
appointments at the VAs nearly 1,000 hos-
pitals and outpatient clinics or who live at
least 40 miles from one of them.
The bills are Congresss response to a
growing uproar over patients dying while
awaiting VA treatment and mounting evi-
dence that workers falsified or omitted
appointment schedules to mask frequent,
long delays. The resulting election-year
restorm forced VASecretary Eric Shinseki
to resign two weeks ago.
An audit released last week showed that
more than 57,000 veterans have had to wait
at least three months for initial appoint-
ments. An additional 64,000 veterans who
asked for appointments over the past decade
never got them.
The VAhas conrmed that at least 35 vet-
erans died while awaiting appointments at
VAfacilities in the Phoenix area, although
ofcials say they cant say whether not get-
ting VAtreatment caused any of the deaths.
More than 8 million of the nations 21
million veterans are now enrolled in VA
health care although only about 6.5 million
seek VAtreatment every year. The CBO ana-
lysts said VAnow covers about 30 percent,
or an average $5,200, of those veterans
annual health care costs, excluding long-
term care.
The Senate bill would open up VAhealth
care to as many as 8 million veterans who
now qualify for VAhealth care but have not
enrolled, the budget ofce said. By making
it easier to get outside care, the Senate bill
and a companion measure in the House also
would encourage veterans to seek VAcover-
age for a bigger portion of their health care,
the report said.
Both bills would make it easier to re or
demote senior agency ofcials, and both
would end bonuses to regional VA ofcials
and other administrators based on meeting
patient scheduling goals a practice
investigators say led some ofcials to cre-
ate phony waiting lists to game the sys-
tem.
But the Senate bill also would devote at
least $1 billion to leasing 26 facilities in
17 states and Puerto Rico for use as new VA
hospitals or clinics and $500 more million
for hiring more VA doctors and nurses.
Declaring the long appointment waits an
emergency, the Senate averted having to
raise taxes or nd spending cuts elsewhere
to cover the bills costs.
By resorting to abusing the emergency
escape clause, Washington is once again
looking for the easy way out, said Maya
MacGuineas, president of the Committee
for a Responsible Federal Budget, a biparti-
san policy group devoted to cutting federal
decits.
MacGuineas group criticized the Senates
bill in a lengthy blog post after it passed,
saying it would swell the governments debt
by creating a new unfunded entitlement pro-
gram bigger than Congresss expansion of
Medicare in 2003 to cover prescription
drugs.
We cant just write a blank check and
think it will solve these problems, said
Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., one of three sen-
ators who voted against the bill. He said
veterans deserve better than that.
Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., one of the
bills authors, lashed back, If it is not an
emergency that we have neglected the brave
men and women who have served this coun-
try and keep us free, then I do not know
what an emergency is.
Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., the chairman
of the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee,
said the bill was expensive, but so were the
wars that veterans have served in. Wars in
Iraq and Afghanistan alone will have cost at
least $3 trillion, he said.
If we can spend that kind of money to go
to war ... surely we can spend (less than) 1
percent of that amount to take care of the
men and women who fought those wars, he
said.
The CBO did not provide a complete cost
estimate on the House bill, which includes
no provisions for new hospitals or clinics
or hiring more VAdoctors and nurses.
Both measures would spend billions to
provide outside care for veterans, although
the House would require Congress to appro-
priate money for it each year.
House Veterans Affairs Committee
Chairman Jeff Miller, R-Fla., said Congress
would have to cover the costs, but he didnt
know where the money would come from.
Well have to find a way, he told
reporters after the Senate bill passed. Its
not going to be cheap. We know it.
Miller also said there would be negotia-
tions with the Senate over nal legislation.
Were not just accepting the Senate bill,
he said.
Senate bill would double vets health spending

Superintendent Linda Luna. The
school district currently contributes
8.25 percent per teacher and adminis-
trator toward their pension, but next
year its going up 9.5 percent per
teacher and administrator. By 2020-
21, it will be 19.1 percent per teacher
and per administrator.
This is how the governor is tack-
ling pension reform.
It was a surprise, Luna said.
Nobody knew about it. People are
extremely concerned about this.
The San Mateo Union High School
District is still finalizing its budget
but, as a basic aid district that gets
most of its funding from property
taxes, the district will see some neg-
ative impacts from the budget.
Specifically, the item that says
school districts need to document and
justify having a local reserve above
the recommended level is of concern.
If a school district proposes to adopt
a budget with a reserve that exceeds
the state required minimum, it must
identify the reasons following a
deposit in the states school funding
formula known as Proposition 98.
This means a 6 percent reserve fund.
The only thing thats a concern to
the school district is the proposal to
reserves, said Liz McManus, deputy
superintendent of business services
for the San Mateo Union High School
District. We have a 12 percent
reserve and basic aid school districts
have higher than normal reserves
because of the volatility of property
taxes. Its pretty irresponsible on the
states behalf.
The San Mateo County Office of
Education also expressed some con-
cern about the reserves clause.
The concern that we have is the
lack of transparency about the
reserve level language, said Denise
Porterfield, deputy superintendent of
business services. That came very
last minute out of nowhere, so we
have concerns. We dont think it will
affect schools for a long time since a
number of provisions have to take
place first. Overall, we do like that
theres increased funding of districts
that are in transition; it is an excep-
tionally good for districts that need
more funding.
In the Sequoia Union High School
District, Trustee Alan Sarver said the
concern he has heard all over is that it
doesnt make sense to restrict school
districts planning in a long-term, fis-
cally prudent manner.
(State Sen.) Jerry Hill (D-San
Mateo) reassured me theres limited
scenarios in which such a limit would
be evoked, Sarver said. It appears
that planning ability has been pre-
served for us, so thats a relief.
Hill confirmed the conversation
and said there is a very slight chance
it will affect school districts because
of the reserve clause. The limitation
may be waived by the county superin-
tendent of schools if the district iden-
tifies the extraordinary circum-
stances necessitating a larger
reserve, including but not limited to
multi-year infrastructure or technolo-
gy projects. The only circumstances
under which the state would make a
deposit into the Proposition 98
reserve would be when: revenue from
capital gains exceed 8 percent of the
total general fund revenue and the
Proposition 98 minimum is deter-
mined, according to Hills office.
Other changes
There are already other changes to
school funding. The new Local
Control Funding Formula became a
law July 1, 2013, and changed the
state funding formula for K-12
schools to help boost the academic
achievement of disadvantaged stu-
dents. The state budget for the 2013-
14 fiscal year provides about $55.3
billion in local and state revenue for
K-12 education and two-year commu-
nity colleges. Thats an increase of
more than $8 billion over the 2011-
12 level under Proposition 98.
During the first year, the formula
gives school districts more control
over state aid by eliminating ear-
marks for state-mandated programs,
except for special education funding.
In the 2014-15 budget, the state
gives $26 million for County Offices
of Education to reach full implemen-
tation of LCFF.
The San Mateo-Foster City
Elementary School District fared
worse in the 2013-14 school year
compared to 2012-13, according to
Laura Tran Phan, chief business offi-
cial for the district.
However, we expect increased
funding under LCFF calculation in
2014-15, she wrote in an email.
Our district will flip from current
basic aid status to state aid/LCFF sta-
tus in 2014-15. The biggest concern
for us is that under LCFF, our fair
share reduction of $1.74 million for
2013-14 will be deducted and included
in the formula each year until full
implementation of LCFF in 2020-
21.
Early education investment
Others are more hopeful about the
budget, including Ted Lempert, San
Mateo County Board of Education
trustee, who points to the $264 mil-
lion for preschool and day care for
low-income families that eventually
will cover half of all 4-year-olds in
the state.
Its exciting to see the investment
in early education; we view that as a
down payment, he said. It was good
to see education funding start to go
upwards.
He noted the reserves piece is
going to be a challenge for schools.
He also wishes the state would pick
up more pension costs.
Its kind of a black mark on an
otherwise positive budget, he said.
It doesnt really make sense for how
districts do their budgeting.
For the South San Francisco
Unified High School District,
Superintendent Alejandro Hogan said
as a poor basic aid district, its fund-
ing is barely over what itd be get-
ting from the state.
Well be basic aid for one to two
more years, then we will flip to a rev-
enue limit district, he said. The
budget this year looks better than
last year. Theres a 2 percent growth
in the tax base.

involved in any power struggles today. If everyone
does their own thing, there will be less opportunity
for discord and disagreements. Spend time with
someone who shares your ideas.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Listen and offer
solutions to friends, relatives or colleagues who
need someone to confide in, but dont be too quick
to share your secrets. You will gain allies and
improve your status.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Protect yourself by
doing extensive research before making a radical
career move. If you act on false information, you could
undo all the progress you have made so far.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Experience is a
great teacher, so consider past successes and
failures before you make a move. Keeping your
emotions under control will prevent you from
making an ill-advised choice.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) Dont let a shortage
of funds hold you back. Others think highly of your
talents and will support your efforts, so believe in
your assets and capabilities.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Dare yourself to try
something new. You will become inspired if you choose
to do things that are unfamiliar to you. Take the plunge,
or you will never know what you are missing.

Iran general in
Iraq, militants
seize key city
By Hamza Hendawi and Qassim Abdul-Zahra
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BAGHDAD In a sign of Irans deepening involvement
in the Iraqi crisis, the commander of Tehrans elite Quds
Force is helping Iraqs military and Shiite militias gear up
to ght the Sunni insurgents advancing across the country,
ofcials said Monday.
Washington signaled a new willingness work with Iran to
help the Iraqi government stave off the insurgency after
years of trying to limit Tehrans inuence in Baghdad a
dramatic shift that would have been unthinkable a few weeks
ago.
The United States is deploying up to 275 military troops
to Iraq to protect the U.S. Embassy and other American
interests and is considering sending a contingent of special
forces soldiers. But the White House insisted anew the U.S.
would not be sending combat troops and thrusting America
into a new Iraq war.
The insurgents seized the strategic city of Tal Afar near the
Syrian border Monday, part of its goal of linking areas
under its control on both sides of the Iraq-Syria frontier.
West of Baghdad, an army helicopter was shot down during
clashes near the city of Fallujah, killing the two-man crew,
security ofcials said.
The Quds Force commander, Iranian Gen. Ghasem
Soleimani, has been consulting in Iraq on how to roll back
the al-Qaida-breakaway group, known as the Islamic State
of Iraq and the Levant, according to Iraqi security ofcials.
Soleimanis presence in Iraq is likely to fuel longtime
Sunni suspicions about the Shiite-led governments close
ties with Tehran.
The security ofcials said the U.S. government was noti-
ed before Soleimanis visit.
Soleimani has been inspecting Iraqi defenses and review-
ing plans with top commanders and Iranian-backed Iraqi
Shiite militias, the ofcials said. He has set up an opera-
tions room to coordinate the militias and visited the holy
cities of Najaf and Karbala south of Baghdad, home to the
most revered Shiite shrines, and areas west of Baghdad
where government forces have faced off with Islamic mili-
tants for months.
The Islamic State has vowed to march to Baghdad, Karbala
and Najaf in the worst threat to Iraqs stability since U.S.
troops left in 2011. A call to arms Friday from Iraqs top
Shiite cleric, Iranian-born Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani,
gave prominence to the need to defend the holy shrines.
Soleimanis visit adds signicantly to the sectarian slant
of the mobilization by the government of Prime Minister
Nouri al-Maliki. Armed Shiite militiamen have been parad-
ing on the streets and volunteers joining the security forces
are chanting Shiite religious slogans.
