AL-QAIDA SPLINTER GROUP SEIZES TERRITORY, DECLARES NEW
CALIPHATE
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Alittle more than a year after the
city of San Mateo outlawed over-
sized vehicles parking on residen-
tial streets, some neighbors are
frustrated that people continue to
park mobile homes along
Mariners Island Boulevard.
The City Council approved
changes to its municipal code in
March 2013 after residents began
to complain that motor homes,
oversized trucks, stretch limou-
sines, boats and trailers left on
residential streets were a hazard
and an eyesore.
John Coyle lives on Mariners
Island Boulevard and said the new
ordinance has done little to dis-
courage people from parking near
the condominiums in which he
lives.
Coyle said people had been
parking their motor homes along
the street that separates Foster
City and San Mateo for years, but
since the new ordinance passed,
the problem has exacerbated and
people are living in them.
They rotate on the street and on
an average day theres seven to 15
boats, trailers or motor homes. I
just nd thats ridiculous of these
people. If you want to buy this
stuff, then have the money to pay
to park it somewhere, Coyle said.
When I get up at 2 a.m. or 3 a.m.
in the morning and wake up and
see these motor homes across the
street, its weird. Theyre not your
neighbors.
City code denes an oversized
vehicle as being 7.5 feet tall; 7.5
feet wide from the widest portion
of the vehicle; being 22 feet long
in combination with any attached
trailers; and exceed 10,000
pounds. The ordinance restricts
unattached trailers, regardless of
size, from being left in the public
right-of-way on streets that are

With the number of illegal in-
law units outweighing those prop-
erly permitted in Redwood City,
ofcials are looking to see if its
code is too cumbersome and gure
out how to better balance needs
like adding occupants or income
to an existing property while
respecting the aesthetics of estab-
lished neighborhoods.
We want to see if there is
something about our code that
is unintentionally being pro-
hi bi t i ve, sai d Associ at e
Planner Michelle Littlefield.
The Planning Commission is
starting the conversation with a
public study session Tuesday night
followed by a community work-
shop a week later. Input from both
meetings will help city staff revise
the existing ordinance governing
accessory dwelling units, more
commonly known as in-law or
granny units.
The city is also primarily
encouraged to review its ordinance
because of the Housing Element

Drawing inspiration from a
small Austrian town and an
unmarked graveyard near Half
Moon Bay, a local spirits distiller
is weaving her heritage and
coastal history into artisan-crafted
vodka, whiskey and fruit brandy
concoctions.
Husband-and-wife duo Caesar
Bisono and Ulli Bisono began
Half Moon Bay Distillery after an
inspiring sip of an Austrian
farmers pear brandy.
Ulli Bisono said she grew up in
Austria and despised the tradition-
al fruit brandy moonshiners used
to produce as a way to avoid steep
liquor taxes and make use of the
rotten produce farmers couldnt
sell.
Decades later, Bisono said she
was visiting her hometown when
she was introduced to a neighbor-
ing distiller whose pear brandy
forever changed her life.
I was blown away. It was truly
like that magic moment when you
hear angels sing on the tip of your
tongue. It was really a revelation
for me, I fell in love with it,
Bisono said. It was literally that
perfect pear at the most essence of
its existence, and he squeezed that
into a bottle. Thats what really
blew me away. You can really
see that fruit in front of you.
Thats what its really all about.
You want to capture the essence of
what youre distilling.
Bisono said she knew she needed

Maryland woman says
pot came with fast-food order
FREDERICK, Md. A Frederick,
Maryland, woman says she was served
a bag of marijuana with her fast-food
order at a Sonic drive-in.
The Frederick News-Post reported
Friday that Carla McFarland says she
found the little plastic baggie in a con-
tainer along with the French fries she
bought Wednesday in Frederick.
McFarland says she complained to a
manager and called police. She says a
manager later told her an employee
had been red after saying the bag
must have slipped from her apron.
Franchise owner John Louderback
conrms that the employee no longer
works there.
The Frederick County Sheriffs
Ofce says its investigating the mat-
ter.
McFarland isnt laughing. She says
her two young children were in the car,
within easy reach of the bag.
Sonic Corp. is based in Oklahoma
City.
For sale: Small South
Dakota town, bar included
RAPID CITY, S.D. Abusinessman
is selling his small, southeastern
South Dakota town for $400,000.
Lance Benson is the sole owner of
Swett, an unincorporated hamlet in
Bennett County about two hours
southeast of Rapid City. Benson, who
owns a traveling-concessions busi-
ness, put the town on the market last
week.
Benson tells the Rapid City Journal
the town used to have a population of
40 people decades ago, as well as a
post ofce, a few houses and a grocery
store.
Now, the town is just a bar, work-
shop, three trailers and a house. He and
his wife still live there.
He says ownership of the town con-
centrated to a single person over the
years. Benson bought it in 1998.
Slimmed-down Oregon
police horse collars suspect
PORTLAND, Ore. Murphy the
horse, once a woebegone Oregon
ranch animal, had to shed 200 pounds
to make the Portland police force, and
now he has collared his rst suspect.
Murphy, carrying Ofcer Cassandra
Wells, galloped six blocks to catch a
break-in suspect last week. He kept
the suspect trapped next to a building
in the Old Town district until ofcers
could cuff him.
He did everything I needed him to
do, Wells told The Oregonian.
The arrest caps a ripe-for-the-
movies story about a horse that
weighed in at 1,900 pounds after his
owner, in nancial distress, sold him
off to a Portland ofcer searching the
Internet for a new member of the citys
popular Mounted Patrol Unit.
Murphy was undersize at birth, even
though he was born three weeks over-
due. He was easily distracted and not
considered particularly handsome,
unlike a younger half-brother who
turned out to be a trophy winner.
So he was given the full name
Murphys Law, the axiom that if
something can go wrong, it will.
Being honest, owner Randy Snow
told the newspaper last year, we ended
up with ve horses on the ranch, and
old Murphy was always low man on
the totem pole.
Murphy got overweight because he
wasnt being ridden and because the
owners couldnt afford hay. So Murphy
roamed the property feeding on grass,
a diet The Oregonian likened to an all-
pizza diet for humans.
The police bureaus horse trainer,
Jennifer Mack, saw possibilities,
though, and the city bought the geld-
ing for $3,000.
Murphy went on a strict diet and an
aerobic exercise regimen that included
an electric walker, a kind of treadmill
that prods a horse to keep walking in a
circle.
After months of work, Murphy made
the grade, and started patrolling in the
citys upscale Pearl District.
Hes among the eight animals that
patrol downtown to the delight of
Portlanders. Budget hawks sometimes
call for cutting the unit but get
nowhere.

o you remember the Tin Lizzie? I
dont remember the Model T, but I
have fond memories of the Model
A. It was in a Model Athat I drove a car for
the rst time.
I lived in a city in the Midwest, but I
worked on a farm at times. I was only 9
years old. The farmer and I were out in a eld
and he told me to get behind the wheel and
drive. Wow. My legs barely touched the
accelerator on the oor and I could hardly
see over the front of the engine panel. I
started out and killed the engine. Start it
again, he said, and I did. We were in a for-
mally plowed field and the Tin Lizzie
bounced up and down until I lost track of
what I was doing. It was time to quit anyway
because I had gotten to the next fence post
we were to x. It was a hell of -an experience
for a 9-year-old and Ive never forgotten it.
Ford built his rst Model T in 1908. He
had failed at two businesses (or was pushed
out as he would like to say later in life) but
this new business, called the Henry Ford
Company, was to be his successful adven-
ture. Ford wasnt the only one building cars
in the early 1900s. Ransom E. Olds had
started his company in 1897 and was sell-
ing the Oldsmobile like hotcakes. His
assembly line was the secret of his success.
In 1899, James Ward Packard cars was sell-
ing OK and, in 1901, the Pierce-Arrow hit
the markets. The Piece-Arrow was a luxury
car and its market was limited to wealthy
people. Studebaker was toying around with
electric cars but became very successful in
1904 when he developed a good gasoline
engine. The electric car had been developed
earlier, but lack of proper batteries and other
factors doomed their sales. However, many
of the inventions that led to a superior gaso-
line automobile relied on knowledge of
electric motors. The windshield wipers
could be run by electric motors and the
starter became an important supplement to
the automobile, electric lights, battery to
start, etc.
Many times, something can be invented
but it doesnt get off the ground and to the
Ford and the Tin Lizzie

Fuel spill caused by
gas station crash in San Mateo
Crews cleared a fuel spill in San Mateo
Sunday afternoon that happened when a
driver accidentally crashed into a gas sta-
tion pump, according to a fire battalion
chief.
The car crash and fuel leak was reported a
short time after noon at the Valero gas sta-
tion at 706 E. Fourth Avenue, according to
San Mateo fire Battalion Chief Joe
Novelli.
No one was injured in the crash, which
caused about 200 gallons of fuel to spill
from the pump into the south side of Fourth
Avenue, Novelli said.
Fire crews that arrived on the scene acti-
vated an emergency shut-off switch and
were able to prevent any fuel from spilling
into storm drains, the battalion chief said.
The gas station was closed while crews
used sand and other materials to mop up the
spilled gasoline.
Police closed the surrounding streets to
both foot and car traffic during the cleanup,
which ended around 2:30 p.m., Novelli
said.
The crash appears to have occurred when
a patron driving into the gas station
attempted to turn his car around, he said.
Podiatrist charged with writing
thousands of illegal prescriptions
ASan Leandro podiatrist was charged on
Friday with felony counts related to unlaw-
fully dispensing addictive narcotics to
patients, according to the district attor-
neys office.
Alameda County District Attorney Nancy
E. OMalley said Dr. Tan Nguyen, 62, wrote
more than 5,000 prescriptions for
painkillers and other drugs in the span of
one year.
During the investigation, OMalley said
undercover law enforcement agents posed
as patients and visited Nguyen to request
prescriptions for medication. The defen-
dant wrote prescriptions without ever
examining patients or asking any health
related questions, investigators said.
Prosecutors said between June 2013 and
June 2014, Nguyen wrote thousands of pre-
scriptions for hydrocodone, known as
Vicodin; oxycodone, a highly addictive
narcotic painkiller; carisoprodol, a muscle
relaxer; and diazepam, an anti-anxiety
medication, known as Valium.
In addition to the Alameda County
District Attorneys Office, the Department
of Health and Human Services, the FBI, and
the Alameda County Sheriffs Office took
part in the investigation.
Medical professionals who unlawfully
supply prescriptions to controlled sub-
stances will be identified and prosecuted,
said OMalley in a statement.
Prescription drug use is a public safety
and public health issue. These drugs are
highly susceptible to misuse and abuse,
which can lead to addiction, accidental poi-
soning or other grave consequences,
OMalley added.
Nguyen was previously convicted in
2008 of selling illegal narcotics prescrip-
tions, according to the district attorneys
office.

MILLBRAE I
recently read an
article in the trade
journal American
Funeral Director
about the famous
quote by the late
Sir William Ewart
Gladstone, the celebrated English four term
Prime Minister who was known for his
colorful oratories and speeches on the floor
of Parliament. This 19
th
century statesman
was renowned for many unique sayings, but
he is most noted among Funeral Directors
for saying this: Show me the manner in
which a nation cares for its dead, and I will
measure with mathematical exactness the
tender mercies of its people, their respect for
the laws of the land and their loyalty to high
ideals. This quote is very lyrical and well
thought out. It has become a long time
custom for many Funeral Homes to display
this quote on a plaque for all to see. The
meaning is obvious and is a direct
comparison between caring for our fallen
loved ones and the way we care for
ourselves, our community and our society.
To many observers it may appear that
weve lost the motivation to care for our
loved ones in a proper way, and that our
society has become misguided. Taking into
consideration the way our government
leaders sometimes act, without the maturity
to function unselfishly, is disturbing, and the
reasons they got elected can be alarming.
Also, in the eyes of logical people violence
should be against our nature, but seemingly
is embedded in our way of life. It is topsy-
turvy for a culture to view cruelty and tribal
brutality as a form of normality, and for love
to be viewed as an obscenity.
Yes, some say our society is falling apart,
but looking at the overall big picture I see
most people yearning to live a peaceful and
courteous life with those around them. Most
people are not violent. Most people want to
be accepted. Most people want to be happy.
Remember that hate is taught.
Wouldnt it make more sense for love to
be taught? Teaching youngsters to be
curious and to enjoy the differences of
those around them would be a good start.
They say that its hard to teach old dogs new
tricks. But old dogs will not be here forever,
and with effort every young dog could be
cultivated with ideals for supporting others
with respect. Putting this into practice may
seem daunting, but its not impossible and
over time could be valuable for our future.
Humanity has always been burdened with
a good percentage of bad guys. But, all in
all, the ideals that the majority of us value
and strive to promote, life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness, are shared in our core.
Going back to Gladstones quote, I see
the vast majority of the families we serve at
the CHAPEL OF THE HIGHLANDS
deeply committed to doing the right thing
for their loved ones. They come to us with a
desire for closure and to enact final tributes
for those theyve cherished. Whether public
or private their feelings are similar, and
showing one last bit of proper care is their
goal. For me this is a sign of hope, showing
that overall we are a society of good people
with a nature to live in harmony and peace.
If you ever wish to discuss cremation,
funeral matters or want to make pre-
planning arrangements please feel free to
call me and my staff at the CHAPEL OF
THE HIGHLANDS in Millbrae at (650)
588-5116 and we will be happy to guide you
in a fair and helpful manner. For more info

Who Or What Is Gladstone And
Why This Is Important

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN DIEGO The downcast faces on
computer screens are 1,500 miles away at a
Border Patrol station in McAllen, Texas: a
20-year old Honduran woman arrested raft-
ing across the Rio Grande and a 23-year-old
man caught under similar circumstances.
Four agents wearing headsets reel through
a list of personal questions, spending up to
an hour on each adult and even longer on
children. On an average day, hundreds of
migrants are questioned on camera by
agents in San Diego and other stations on
the U.S.-Mexico border.
The long-distance interviews intro-
duced last year in El Paso, Texas, and
extended to California are a response to
the dramatic increase of Central Americans
crossing the border in Texas that also has
flooded immigration facilities with hun-
dreds of women and children. The Border
Patrol does not have the staff to process all
the immigrants crossing in the Rio Grande
Valley, but faraway colleagues have time to
spare.
The remote video processing reveals a
perpetual predicament that has long bedev-
iled the Border Patrol. Many agents wind up
stationed in places where crossing activity
is slowest because the Border Patrol strug-
gles to keep up with constantly shifting
migration patterns.
One example of the stafng mismatch:
the roughly 2,500 agents in the San Diego
sector arrested 97 immigrants illegally
crossing the border on June 14, according
to an internal document reviewed by The
Associated Press. On the same day, the
roughly 3,200 agents in the Rio Grande
Valley made 1,422 arrests.
President Barack Obama will ask
Congress for more than $2 billion to
respond to the ood of immigrants illegally
entering the U.S. through the Rio Grande
Valley and for new powers to deal with
returning unaccompanied children, a White
House ofcial said Saturday. Aletter will be
sent to Congress on Monday, said the of-

In San Diego, the video processing is a
welcome change of pace. Arrests are at 45-

without nding anyone. Cesar Rodriguez,
who joined the Border Patrol in 2010, said
eight hours y by since he gave up his
assignment watching a stretch of scrub-cov-
ered hills east of San Diego and took on a
new assignment to process the immigrants

If theres nothing going on, what are you

STATELINE, Nev. Tourism ofcials at
Lake Tahoe say that obtaining Nevada-
based sponsorship for their annual Fourth
of July and Labor Day reworks shows will
help free them from California regulators
after settling a lawsuit over pollution.
Leaders of the Lake Tahoe Visitors
Authority say theyve turned over their
long-term sponsorship of the show to the
Tahoe Douglas Visitors Authority on
Nevadas east shore, moving primary regu-
lation of the reworks to Nevada ofcials.
Ill just say that Nevada is a much friend-
lier place to shoot reworks, and thats why
weve done that, authority Executive
Director Carol Chaplin told the Douglas
County Board of Commissioners meeting in
Minden on Thursday.
The shows feature spectacular, boat-
launched displays and draw tens of thou-
sands of people annually.
They also draw complaints about the dis-
charge of spent reworks into the alpine
lake, including a lawsuit that was settled
March 31 in U.S. District Court in
Sacramento, California.
Plaintiffs Joseph and Joan Truxler, who
live in Marla Bay near Zephyr Cove,
claimed in the complaint led in November
that the authority violated the federal Clean
Water Act more than 1,000 times during the
past ve years.
Under the settlement, the Lake Tahoe
Visitors Authority will step up oversight of
post-reworks cleanup and establish a hot-
line for residents to report any debris. The
authority is based in Stateline, but repre-
sents hotel-casinos and businesses on both
sides of the California-Nevada line at South
Lake Tahoe.
John Packer, chairman of the separate
Tahoe Douglas Visitors Authority, said hes
glad the agency was able to keep a 33-year-
old Independence Day tradition alive.
Were glad to be able to step up, Packer
told the Tahoe Daily Tribune. It was kind of
an 11th-hour thing.
Tourism ofcials said the change means
primary regulation of the reworks falls to
Nevada ofcials, and any future federal legal
challenges would be heard in Reno instead
of Sacramento.
Californias Lahontan Regional Water
Quality Control Board currently is tasked
with regulating water issues in that area of
the lake, but has no power across the state
line.
Nevada does not have a similar governing
body, although state and federal environ-
mental regulations still apply under the
Clean Water Act.
Chaplin told Lake Tahoe News last week
the Lake Tahoe Visitors Authority board
received legal advice after the settlement
that the best course of action would be to
seek another sponsor.
It makes sense, she said of the switch to
the Tahoe Douglas Visitors Authority. The
TVDA is a Nevada entity and the reworks
display are being executed in Nevada and the
oversight is being performed by a Nevada
authority.

Obituary
By Julie Pace
WASHINGTON President Barack Obama
plans to nominate former Proctor & Gamble
executive Robert McDonald as the next
Veterans Affairs secretary, as the White
House seeks to shore up an agency beset by
treatment delays and
struggling to deal with
an inux of new veterans
returning from wars in
Iraq and Afghanistan.
An administration of-
cial said Obama would
announce McDonalds
appointment Monday. If
conrmed by the Senate,
McDonald would suc-
ceed Eric Shinseki, the
retired four-star general who resigned last
month as the scope of the issues at veterans
hospitals became apparent.
In tapping McDonald for the post, Obama
is signaling his desire to install a VAchief
with broad management experience.
McDonald also has a military background,
graduating near the top of his class at the
U.S. Military Academy at West Point and
serving as a captain in the Army, primarily
in the 82nd Airborne Division.
The administration ofcial insisted on
anonymity in order to conrm McDonalds
appointment before the presidents
announcement.
The VAoperates the the largest integrated
health care system in the country, with more
than 300,000 fulltime employees and nearly
9 million veterans enrolled for care. But the
agency has come under intense scrutiny in
recent months amid reports of patients dying
while waiting for appointments and of treat-
ment delays in VAfacilities nationwide.
Obama dispatched one of his top advisers,
Rob Nabors, to the VA to help investigate
agency issues and appointed Sloan Gibson
as acting secretary while awaiting a perma-
nent replacement.
Nabors and Gibson delivered a scathing
report to Obama Friday, citing signicant
and chronic system failures in the nations
health system. The report also portrayed the
Veterans Affairs Department as a struggling
agency battling a corrosive culture of dis-
trust, lacking in resources and ill-prepared
to deal with an inux of new and older veter-
ans with a range of medical and mental
health care needs.
McDonalds nomination was praised by
his peers in the private sector and military.
Jim McNerney, Chairman and CEO of The
Boeing Company, called McDonald an out-
standing choice for this critically important
position. Retired U.S. Army General
Stanley McChystal, who served with
McDonald in the 82nd Airborne, said the
nominees business acumen, coupled with
his dedication and love of our nations mili-
tary and veteran community, make him a
truly great choice for the tough challenges
we have at VA.
Senate Veterans Affairs Committee
Chairman Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., said in a
statement that he looked forward to meeting
with McDonald next week to get his views
on issues he views as important.
Among them, Sanders said in a statement,
The VAneeds signicantly improved trans-
parency and accountability and it needs an
increased number of doctors, nurses and
other medical staff so that all eligible veter-
ans get high-quality health care in a timely
manner.
McDonald led Procter & Gamble from
2009 to 2013. During that time, the com-
pany website states: P&G realized annual
sales of over $84 billion. The company had
more than 120,000 employees, 120 plants
and 200 brands in 35 categories, of which
25 brands generate over $1 billion in sales
each year.
The companys Tide detergent, Crest
toothpaste and other products can be found
in 98 percent of American households. But
under McDonalds leadership, P&G strug-
gled to grow under increased competition
and global economic challenges. Critics
suggested he was having trouble getting
the 150-year-old-plus company to re on
all cylinders.
Investors, including activist investor
William Ackman, voiced frustration over
the companys slow revenue growth and
stagnant market share gains. Ackman, who
took a 1 percent stake in the company,
pressed for the company to streamline
operations and improve results.

WASHINGTON A court appearance for
the alleged mastermind of the attacks on the
U.S. mission in Benghazi, Libya, is the rst
step in a long legal process that could yield
new insight into a ery assault that contin-
ues to reverberate across U.S. politics.
The case of Ahmed Abu Khattala, who
pleaded not guilty during a brief court
appearance Saturday, also represents a high-
prole test of the Obama administrations
goal of prosecuting terror suspects in civil-
ian courts even in the face of Republican
critics who say such defendants arent enti-
tled to the protections of the American legal
system.
Abu Khattala made his rst appearance in
an American courtroom amid tight security,
two weeks after being captured in Libya by
U.S. special forces in a nighttime raid and
then whisked away on a Navy ship for ques-
tioning and transport. He was own early
Saturday from the ship to a landing pad in
Washington and brought to the federal
courthouse, a downtown building mere
blocks from the U.S. Capitol.
A grand jury indictment made public
Saturday accuses Abu Khattala of participat-
ing in a conspiracy to provide material sup-
port and resources to terrorists in the attacks
of Sept. 11, 2012, that killed U.S.
Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other
Americans. The Justice Department says it
expects to bring more charges.
The Libyan who maintained a garrulous
public persona at home granting inter-
views with journalists and gaining populari-
ty and prominence in Benghazis circle of
extremists showed little reaction during a
10-minute appearance before a federal magis-
trate judge. He spoke just two words, both in
Arabic, in response to perfunctory questions,
stared impassively for most of the hearing
and sat with his hands behind his back.
He will remain in custody though the
judge did not say where and the next court
date was scheduled for Wednesday.
As the Justice Department embarks on a
high-prole prosecution of the alleged mil-
itant, the case is likely to provide a public
forum for new details about a burst of vio-
lence on the 11th anniversary of the
attacks on the World Trade Center and
Pentagon that roiled the Middle East and
dominated American political discourse. In
the nearly two years since the attack, dozens
of congressional briefings and hearings
have been held and tens of thousands of
pages of documents have been released.

case could offer clarity

TEL AVIV, Israel Tens of thousands of
Israelis gathered in a central Tel Aviv square
on Sunday night to draw attention to the
plight of three Israeli teenagers who were
abducted in the West Bank earlier this
month.
The crowd packed Tel Avivs Rabin Square,
holding Israeli ags and posters of the three
missing teens. Singers performed for the
crowd, while politicians and relatives of the
youths addressed the gathering.
The mothers of the teens each told the
crowd that the nation is united in praying
for the safety of their teens. They know
that we will never give up trying to bring
them home, said Rachelle Fraenkel, one of
the mothers.
The three teens Eyal Yifrah, 19, Gilad
Shaar, 16, and Naftali Fraenkel, a 16-year-
old with dual Israeli-American citizenship
have not been heard from since hitch-
hiking home in the West Bank on June 12.
Israel has accused Hamas militants of kid-
napping the teens, and the army has
launched its broadest ground operation in
the West Bank in nearly a decade in search of
the teens. Israel has arrested about 400
Palestinians, most of them Hamas activists,
and has identied two wanted Hamas opera-
tives as the chief suspects. The two men
remain on the run.
The plight of the teens has become a
national obsession. Tens of thousands of
people held a mass prayer for them shortly
after their abduction, and there have been
daily vigils and speeches on their behalf.
Sunday nights demonstration was per-
haps the largest public gathering to date,
taking place as Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu was delivering a policy speech.
He said he had ordered the army to spare no
effort to bring them home.
Netanyahu has called on the Palestinian
president, Mahmoud Abbas, to end a newly
formed unity government with Hamas in
response to the kidnappings. Abbas has
strongly condemned the abductions but so
far has left his Cabinet intact. Hamas does
not sit in the government, and Abbas says
his Cabinet supports his program of seek-
ing peace with Israel.
The kidnappings led to a spike in ghting
between Israel and the Gaza Strip, which
remains under de facto Hamas control. The
Islamic militant group seized control of
Gaza from Abbas forces seven years ago.

NEW ORLEANS Two men exchanged
gunre early Sunday on the citys always-
crowded Bourbon Street in the celebrated
French Quarter and nine people were shot in
the crossre, including two who were criti-
cally wounded, police said.
Images captured from a surveillance cam-
era above a bar showed people running down
the famous street in the chaos of the shoot-
ing at 2:45 a.m., NOLA.com The Times-
Picayune reported. Police and emergency
workers responded immediately and attended
to victims as other revelers looked on.
New Orleans Police Chief Ronal Serpas
said six victims were hospitalized in stable
condition. The other victims condition was
not available. Some of them were tourists.
Their names have not been released.
The victims were shot two blocks
from historic Jackson Square and just
around the corner from the popular Pat
OBriens piano bar. Preservation Hall,
a music venue dedicated to preserving
New Orleans jazz, is also nearby.
Serpas said at a news conference in the
French Quarter that the victims were shot
by two cowardly young men trying to hurt
each other.
What happened was two young men got
angry at each other and shot at each other,
he said.
Bourbon Street is a nightly swirl of
bright neon and tourists, usually with bev-
erages in hand. Ablend of jazz joints, strip
clubs, bars and restaurants, Bourbon Street
has everything from four-star dining to sex
shows.
New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu
pledged a swift response from law enforce-
ment.
Our No. 1 priority is to keep New
Orleans safe, Landrieu said in a statement.
These kinds of incidents will not go unan-
swered ... I am confident that between
video evidence and eyewitness accounts,
we will bring the perpetrators to justice.
Police have not determined whether
the shootings might be gang-related,
Serpas said.

BAGHDAD The al-Qaida
breakaway group that has seized
much of northeastern Syria and
huge tracts of neighboring Iraq
formally declared the establish-
ment of a new Islamic state on
Sunday and demanded allegiance
from Muslims worldwide.
The spokesman for the Islamic
State of Iraq and the Levant, Abu
Mohammed al-Adnani, made the
announcement in an audio state-
ment posted online on the rst day
of the Muslim holy month of
Ramadan. Muslim extremists have
long dreamed of recreating the
Islamic state, or caliphate, that
ruled over the Middle East, much
of North Africa and beyond in var-
ious forms over the course of
Islams 1,400-year history.
Al-Adnani declared the groups
chief, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, as
the new leader, or caliph, and
called on jihadi groups every-
where, not just those in areas
under the organizations control,
to swear loyalty to al-Baghdadi
and support him.
The legality of all emirates,
groups, states and organizations
becomes null by the expansion of
the caliphs authority and the
arrival of its troops to their areas,
al-Adnani said. Listen to your
caliph and obey him. Support your
state, which grows every day.
Al-Adnani loosely defined the
Islamic states territory as running
from northern Syria to the Iraqi
province of Diyala a vast
stretch of land straddling the bor-
der that is already largely under the
Islamic States control. He also
said that with the establishment of
the caliphate, the group was
changing its name to just the
Islamic State, dropping the men-
tion of Iraq and the Levant.
It was unclear what immediate
impact the declaration would have
on the ground in Syria and Iraq,
though experts predicted it could
herald inghting among the Sunni
militants who have formed an
alliance with the Islamic State in
its blitz across northern and west-
ern Iraq.
Now the insurgents in Iraq have
no excuse for working with ISIS if
they were hoping to share power
with ISIS, said Aymenn al-
Tamimi, an analyst who special-
izes in Islamic militants in Iraq
and Syria, using one of several
acronyms for the Islamic State.
The prospect of inghting in Iraq
is increased for sure.
The greatest impact, however,
could be on the broader interna-
tional jihadist movement, in par-
ticular on the future of al-Qaida.
Founded by Osama bin Laden,
the group that carried out the Sept.
11 attacks on the U.S. has long
carried the mantle of the interna-
tional jihadi cause. But the Islamic
State has managed to do in Syria
and Iraq what al-Qaida never has
carve out a large swath of territory
in the heart of the Arab world and
control it.
This announcement poses a
huge threat to al-Qaida and its
long-time position of leadership
of the international jihadist
cause, said Charles Lister, a visit-
ing fellow at the Brookings Doha
Center, in emailed comments.
Taken globally, the younger gen-
eration of the jihadist community
is becoming more and more sup-
portive of (the Islamic State),
largely out of fealty to its slick
and proven capacity for attaining
rapid results through brutality.
Al-Baghdadi, an ambitious Iraqi
militant who has a $10 million
U.S. bounty on his head, took the
reins of the Islamic State in 2010
when it was still an al-Qaida afl i-
ate based in Iraq. Since then, he
has transformed what had been an
umbrella organization focused
mainly on Iraq into a transnation-
al military force.
Al-Baghdadi has long been at
odds with al-Qaida leader Ayman
al-Zawahri, and the two had a very
public falling out after al-
Baghdadi ignored al-Zawahris
demands that the Islamic State
leave Syria. Fed up with al-
Baghdadi and unable to control
him, al-Zawahri formally dis-
avowed the Islamic State in
February.
But al-Baghdadis stature has
only grown since then, as the
Islamic States fighters have
strengthened their grip on much of
Syria, and now overrun large
swathes of Iraq.
The Islamic States declaration
comes as the Iraqi government
tries to wrest back some of the ter-
ritory it has lost to the jihadi
group and its Sunni militant allies
in recent weeks.
On Sunday, Iraqi helicopter gun-
ships struck suspected insurgent
positions for a second consecutive
day in the northern city of Tikrit,
the predominantly Sunni home-
town of former dictator Saddam
Hussein. The Iraqi military
launched its push to wrest back
Tikrit, a hotbed of antipathy
toward Iraqs Shiite-led govern-
ment, on Saturday with a multi-
pronged assault spearheaded by
ground troops backed by tanks and
helicopters.

OPINION 9
By Quentin L. Kopp
A
March 10, 2014 column by
Sue Lempert in the Daily
Journal contains several
memorable facts, together with
incomplete assertions and arguable
opinions. Its true that BARTdirector
James Fang notied her, me and oth-
ers of a planned commemoration of
the 10th anniversary of the opening
of BART-to-San Francisco
International Airport service in 2004.
Fang seeks re-election to the BART
Board of Directors in November
against a prominent opponent and
needs attention, especially after join-
ing unionized BARTemployees last
summer in demanding more taxpayer
money for salaries and benets from
his eight other fellow BARTboard
members (did I hear someone talk
about the fox in the henhouse?). It is
also true that such commemoration
was canceled for reasons unknown to
me and probably irrelevant to readers.
It is further true that the night
before the opening of such service in
2004, a reportedly gaudy celebration
was staged at a Peninsula hotel which
the usual political poobahs attended.
As a San Mateo County Superior
Court judge then, I declined to attend,
notwithstanding the fact that I was
the elected public ofcial in 1994
most responsible for a San Francisco
ballot measure which compelled
extension of BARTinto SFO, rather
than to a San Bruno station location
that would require riders to transfer to
a monorail planned by the uncoopera-
tive SFO general manager, who
abhorred any other public agency on
premises he controlled. The party was
indeed paid for by the engineering and
contractor rms which had received
millions of taxpayer dollars and could
easily afford gifts and other emolu-
ments for public ofcials.
Ridership on BARTto SFO met pre-
dictions from the beginning. Lempert
claims it was losing money
(SamTrans had to pick up the tab).
Every public transit agency in the
Bay Area (there are 28 of them) loses
money, including SamTrans and
Caltrain. There was, and is, one
exception: BARTto SFO, which
achieves a 114.6 percent fare box
recovery ratio, meaning that fares pay
for all operating expenses and pro-
vide a 14.6 percent prot to BART.
Compare SamTrans, which recovers
about 20 percent of its operating
costs from fares, and the San
Francisco Municipal Railway, which
recovers only 30 percent of its oper-
ating costs from riders, meaning that
taxpayers subsidize the remaining 80
percent and 70 percent, respectively.
Happily, Caltrain now attains about
60 percent from fares. The highest
overall fare box
recovery ratio in
the Bay Area
belongs to the
entire BARTsys-
tem, which gains
almost 68 percent
of its costs from
fares paid by its
350,000 or so
daily users. It is fallacious for
Lempert to claim that BART-to-SFO
took a heavy toll on Caltrain fund-
ing. ... From the outset of BART
operations in 1972, with a Daly City
station, San Mateo County has
obtained BARTservice without partic-
ipating nancially in the 1962 $792
million general obligation bond issue
of subsequent half-cent sales tax to
complete BARTs initial 72 miles.
Alameda County, Contra Costa
County and San Francisco taxpayers
footed these bills and still do. San
Mateo County taxpayers do not.
Ms. Lempert was a board member of
the Metropolitan Transportation
Commission in 2004 even though
she was no longer on the San Mateo
City Council. Federal funding for the
SFO-BARTextension was transmitted
through MTC, as is the case with dis-
tribution of all federal funds for high-
ways and public transit in the Bay
Area. That distribution of money from
the general fund of the United States
of America occurred pursuant to the
so-called New Starts program enact-
ed by Congress and the president for
defraying the construction cost of
new public transit rail projects and
the extensions of existing ones
nationwide. MTC had successfully
submitted a BART-to-SFO project and
San Joses Guadalupe Corridor Light
Rail Line as the Bay Areas two New
Starts priorities. The San Jose light
rail line was, and still is, a dog;
because MTC, however, consists of
nine counties and their representa-
tives, geographical political factors
caused inclusion of the Guadalupe
Corridor Line light rail line in San
Jose in MTCs application for federal
funds. MTC members, like Lempert,
compromised to add San Joses
Guadalupe Light Corridor Line as a
worthy New Start. Last year, it
required an 88 percent taxpayer sub-
sidy in a city with a population of
over 1.1 million. That is, the San
Jose light rail line recovers approxi-
mately 12 percent of its operation
costs from riders (Compare that to the
114.6 percent BART-to-SFO fare box
recovery ratio). History repeats itself.
MTC has currently sponsored two
more Bay Area New Starts projects.
One is meritorious, namely, extend-
ing BARTfrom Warm Springs in
Alameda County to the San Jose city
line. The other is another dog, the
$1.6 billion Central Subway Project
of 1.6 miles in San Francisco, a note-
worthy waste of taxpayer dollars.
I add more historical footnotes.
SamTrans never operated the BART-
to-SFO extension. The Burlingame
City Council did not oppose such
extension, just as it has opposed the
California High-Speed Rail project.
But, that project is no longer high
speed. As stated by its chairman last
February, it now represents a
statewide rail modernization pro-
gram ..., not a system which travels
at 200 mph in the Central Valley and
even up to 125 mph on the Peninsula
and in the Los Angeles Basin. Thats
the reason, to quote Ms. Lempert, ...
today, we have another group of peo-
ple ghting high-speed rail. Thats
the reason Kings County and two
county ranchers led a thus far win-
ning lawsuit over violations of the
2008 bond measure approved by vot-
ers in the amount of $9.95 billion,
such as forcing riders from San
Francisco to Los Angeles to change
trains twice, preventing high-speed
trains from operating at ve-minute
headways during peak hours and not
meeting ballot measure-required travel
times between San Francisco and Los
Angeles and other routes.
Lempert refers to high-speed rail
existing in the eastern United
States. She must mean the Amtrak
Acela system between Washington
and Boston. Its not high-speed. As a
March letter to the Daily Journal
notes, Acela averages 70 mph, not
200. Finally, Lemperts reliance on
the current estimate of just under $68
billion for a high-speed rail from San
Francisco to Los Angeles is mis-
placed; a year ago, the $98 billion
estimate spawned a paroxysm of anxi-
ety in architects of the present bas-
tardization of California High-Speed
Rail, including its chairman and all
but two other board members. The
ballot measure requirement of service
from San Francisco to Anaheim (not
just Los Angeles) was quickly ignored
to reduce the cost estimate to $68 bil-
lion, which was then reduced last
February to $67.5 billion! (I didnt
know California was experiencing
deation).
In sum, Im glad San Francisco vot-
ers insisted upon building BARTinto
the airport and that San Mateo County
supervisors like the late Mike Nevin
cooperated fully in removing any
county obstacles.

tor and San Mateo County Superior
Court judge.

gone up from a low of 39 to an extraordinary high of
80 units. This was a double whammy. Not only the
huge fine but despite our best efforts to conserve
sprinklers on only once a week, less time in the show-
er, full dishwasher and washing machine loads, no
water left running while brushing teeth, etc. some-
thing had gone terribly
wrong. In addition, we
had been away during 10
days of the month when
our meter registered this
increase. I had also writ-
ten several columns on
how to conserve water so
this was a low blow.
Cal Water came out to
double check the meter
again. In two days, we
had lost more water than
we should. Checked our
sprinkler system and dis-
covered minor malfunc-
tions in two, but not
enough to account for the
big jump in usage. The service man also gave me some
blue water tablets to test for toilet leaks. Sure enough,
soon after the tablets were placed in the tank, the blue
dye appeared in the base, which signified a leak. We
turned the water off and debated whether to get a
plumber to fix it surely another $200 plus cost
or to bite the bullet and get a modern fixture. We live
in a very old house with very old plumbing.
So we have turned off the sprinklers and decided for
now to let the lawn turn brown. This isnt a new idea.
Earlier I had contacted BAWSCA, the Bay Area Water
Supply and Conservation Agency, and asked for their
brochure on Lawn be Gone. If you meet certain cri-
teria and inspections, it is possible to receive a rebate
of 75 cents per square foot of converted lawn with a
maximum payment of $1,000 for a single-family
home.
You need to have an approved plan of how you are
going to replace your lawn and what plants you have
in mind for the new landscaping. The plants must be
on the BAWSCA-approved list and they must be low-
water use. You find the list online. It is not available
in hard copy because it goes on for 71 pages. I started
checking the list against my Sunset Garden Book to
see what the listed plants looked like and if they could
exist in shade. I never got past the As, the list is so
long. So we headed out to a local nursery to see if they
could show us some shade plants which didnt need
much water. The first nursery came up with three sug-
gestions. Only one was on the BAWSCA l i st . The sec-
ond nursery showed us shade plants which I knew
needed a lot of water. So we will visit more and hope
to come up with some good matches. It is too bad
BAWSCA doesnt make these lists available to nurs-
eries. For the neophyte gardener, it is tough going.
We still dont have the complete answer as to what
went wrong. The good news is that when Cal Water
returned to check our meter after turning off the sprin-
klers and water to the leaking toilet, we had not lost
any water. The bad news. It will be a costly fix. In the
meantime, we are joining many others in letting our
lawn turn brown. It has almost become a status sym-
bol. But fair warning. Aleak can be expensive! Dont
wait for that unwelcomed call from Cal Water but check
your meter regularly.

Next month, eight fortunate middle school students
will be attending Tech Trek Camp at Stanford
University. The program was established by the
American Association of Women (AAUW) to address
the lack of women entering science and technology.
Teagan Browne and Kara Shannon will be attending
from Abbott Middle School, Elyssa Samayoa and
Sophia Guevara from Borel, Javia Stokesberry and
Emily Gavidia from Bayside Stem Academy and
Laurine Aldairy and Alexendra Chin from Bowditch.
During the week, the young women will do hands-on
experiments, program robots, meet professional
women and learn about financing for college. In the
fall, the scholarship winners will share their experi-
ences with AAUW members and community partners
including Boston Private Bank that helped finance the
program.

BURLINGAME SAN FRANCISCO
CAMPBELL OAKLAND
By Dee-Ann Durbin
DETROIT Want to take some of the
stress and mystery out of the car-buying
process? Get on the Internet.
Auto Web sites once lled mostly with
reviews and advice are getting more
sophisticated, connecting potential buyers
with dealers and offering instant price guar-
antees. Some let buyers estimate their trade-
in values and turn in credit applications
online. One company even lets buyers com-
plete the entire sale online and get cars
delivered to their door.
The Internet lets shoppers enter a show-
room armed with the same information as a
dealer, said Chantel Lenard, Ford Motor
Co.s U.S. marketing director. Sites let buy-
ers congure their vehicles, see what others
paid and estimate the trade-in value of their
current car or truck. They could even walk
into a dealership with a price locked in.
Its truly become an equalizer in the
shopping and negotiating process, Lenard
said at a recent Ford event.
The no-haggle approach can have a down-
side. In person, a dealer might drop the
price even further, or throw in extras like
oor mats or a satellite radio subscription.
But for many consumers, the convenience
is worth it. And the multiple sites that let
you check deals can help assure youre get-
ting a fair price.
Auto sites are rapidly adding features and
content to attract buyers. For example, an
upcoming mobile app from TrueCar.com
will let shoppers submit photos and infor-
mation about their used car to dealers, who
will bid to buy it.
Here are some of the best places to shop
for cars on the Web:
Edmunds.com
(http://www.edmunds.com ) got its start in
1966 as a paperback car-pricing guide. It
won the highest ranking in J.D. Powers
2014 survey of car shopping sites based on
content, ease of navigation, appearance and
speed. Edmunds lets buyers shop for new
and used cars and also offers reviews and
advice.
Once buyers choose a car and trim level,
they can see the average price paid for that
car in their area and get an estimated price
from Edmunds. A2014 Hyundai Sonata SE is
estimated at $23,760 in Chicago, for exam-
ple, or $540 less than Hyundais suggested
retail price. Shoppers who enter their name,
e-mail and phone number can get a specic,
locked-in price from dealers before heading
to the showroom. Dealers pay Edmunds a
monthly fee to be part of the network.
J.D. Power also gives high marks to
Cars.com, which connects shoppers to
dealers who offer a quote; U.S. News Best
Cars, which ranks cars and tracks deals; and
Kelley Blue Book, which determines a price
buyers should expect to pay based on local
demand, seasonal trends and other factors.
Kelley Blue Book says the 2014 Hyundai
Sonata SE should range between $22,845
and $23,602 in Chicago.
TrueCar (http://www.truecar.com),
which was founded in 2008, monitors mil-
lions of transactions to determine the aver-
age price of a car in your zip code. For
example, the site estimates a 2014 Hyundai
Sonata SE will cost $20,392 at a TrueCar
certified dealer in the Chicago area. In
Atlanta, TrueCar dealers will likely offer the
same car for $21,369. Potential buyers get
a guaranteed price they can take to a certied
dealer. In return, dealers pay TrueCar $299
for every new vehicle sold through the site
and $399 for every used vehicle.
TrueCar says nearly 400,000 people
bought cars through its 7,700 certied deal-
ers last year.
John Krafcik, TrueCars president, says it
takes around three hours to nalize a car pur-
chase. To ease consumers frustration, the
industry wants to whittle that down to an
hour.
General Motors Stop-Click-Drive pro-
gram (http://shopclickdrive.com/) lets
buyers shop via local dealer Web sites, esti-
mate the value of a trade-in, estimate
monthly payments, turn in a credit applica-
tion and set up a time to pick up the car at
the dealership. The program is good for
Chevrolet, Buick, Cadillac and GMC vehi-
cles and was expanded to all 50 states last
year. GM says it has sold more than 3,700
new vehicles through the site, which is
offered through 40 percent of the compa-
nys 4,300 U.S. dealers.
Carvana (www.carvana.com ) is per-
haps the most radical model, allowing buy-
ers to bypass dealers entirely. Shoppers can
browse Carvanas used-car inventory, apply
for financing through its partners and
arrange for pick-up or delivery all
online. Buyers can choose to pick up their
car at Carvanas vending machine, a
three-bay garage in Atlanta. Theyre given a
special code to open the door and hop in
their car. Carvana will also deliver a car
anywhere in the country. A delivery to
Chicago, for example, costs $600; delivery
in Atlanta or Nashville, home of the compa-
nys distribution center, is free. Carvana,
founded last year by Phoenix-based
DriveTime Automotive Group, owns all of
its inventory, so it gives shoppers fewer
options than sites that search other dealers
inventories. But Carvana estimates that cut-
ting out dealers saves buyers $1,500 per
car. Carvana was offering a 2011 Sonata SE
for $15,500 sorry, no 2014 model avail-
able. The company wont give exact sales
gures, but says it has sold thousands of
cars since its launch last year.
Websites can take some hassle out of car-buying

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. Atlantic City
started the year with 12 casinos. By Labor
Day, it could be down to nine.
For years, economists and analysts talked
in theoretical terms about casino satura-
tion in the northeastern United States. But
theres nothing theoretical about whats
happening in Atlantic City now.
The Atlantic Club is dead, taken down by
two rivals. Revel says it will close if a
buyer cant be found, and Caesars
Entertainment, which says there are too
many casinos in New Jersey, plans to shut-
ter one of its four, the Showboat, on Aug.
31.
Mayor Don Guardian, who could see a
quarter of his citys casinos close during his
rst year in ofce, said Atlantic City is in
the midst of a difficult but necessary
makeover from being a gambling resort to a
multi-faceted destination where betting is
only part of the allure.
Although it is sad today, its part of the
transition that Atlantic City needs to have,
he said Friday, hours after the Showboat
shutdown was announced. There is pain as
we go through this transition, but its criti-
cal for Atlantic City to realize we are no
longer the monopoly of gaming on the East
Coast. If you build more and more casinos
and dont increase the amount of people
coming to them, youre sharing that
wealth. Were just going through a very dif-
cult time.
Since 2006, Atlantic Citys casino rev-
enue has plunged from a high of $5.2 bil-
lion to $2.86 billion last year. It has been
beset by competition from Pennsylvania,
which has surpassed it as the nations No. 2
casino market after Nevada, and suffered fur-
ther losses with additional casinos coming
online in New York and Maryland.
Israel Posner, executive director of the
Lloyd D. Levenson Institute of Gaming,
Hospitality and Tourism at Stockton
College, said the resort has been dealing
with casino saturation for a while now.
We know that the oversupply of gaming
product is a regional issue, as were seeing
the effects of the pressure all around
Atlantic City, he said.
Bob McDevitt, president of Local 54 of
the Unite-HERE casino workers union,
called Caesars decision to close a protable
casino a criminal act.
Since before Revel opened, McDevitt
warned that adding another casino to the 11
that were operating here at the time could
cause one or more to shut down. That has
come to pass and then some.
Im heartbroken and angry, he said.
Yet some analysts say what is happening
in Atlantic City and other parts of the coun-
try is actually good for a market that has
gotten too big to sustain itself. Fitch
Ratings saw the upside in the shutdown
announcement.
The closure makes nancial sense for
Caesars and is a positive for the oversup-
plied Atlantic City market, the company
wrote in a note to investors. Showboat has
about $50 million in labor costs and pays
about $15 million in property tax
(although Caesars is appealing Showboats
$625 million assessed value). Caesars will
likely recapture most of the Showboat cus-
tomers at its three other resorts in Atlantic
City.
Speaking at the East Coast Gaming
Congress in Atlantic City in May, several
Wall Street analysts said Atlantic Citys
casino market is in the process of correct-
ing itself, which they considered a good
thing for its long-term viability.
Adam Rosenberg, a managing director
with Goldman Sachs, said the reduction in
capacity that is underway is a positive.
Srihari Rajagopalan, a debt analyst with
UBS, agreed.
You are seeing the market right-size,
which is a positive, Rajagopalan said.
There are unprofitable casinos shutting
down.
That clearly applied to the Atlantic Club.
It struggled for years before being bought in
a bankruptcy court auction by two local
competitors, Caesars Entertainment and
Tropicana Entertainment, who divvied up
its assets and closed it on Jan. 13.
It also would apply to Revel, which has
never turned a prot since opening two
years ago, if it shuts down.
But Showboat was profitable, having
posted a gross operating prot of nearly $2
million in the rst quarter of this year, down
from nearly $8.5 million in the rst quarter
of 2013.
Guardian would not say how many casi-
nos he thinks his city can protably sup-
port.
The market is going to set that, he said.
At some point youre going to have the
right number of casinos.
Atlantic City casino shutdown needed, analysts say

LOS ANGELES NASA has tested
new technology designed to bring
spacecraft and one day even astro-
nauts safely down to Mars, with the
agency declaring the experiment a qual-
ied success even though a giant para-
chute got tangled on the way down.
Saturdays $150 million experiment
is the rst of three involving the Low
Density Supersonic Decelerator vehi-
cle. Tests are being conducted at high
altitude on Earth to mimic descent
through the thin atmosphere of the
Red Planet.
A balloon hauled the saucer-shaped
craft 120,000 feet into the sky from a
Navy missile range on the Hawaiian
island of Kauai. Then, the crafts own
rocket boosted it to more than 30
miles high at supersonic speeds.
As the craft prepared to fall back to
earth, a doughnut-shaped tube around it
expanded like a Hawaiian puffer sh,
creating atmospheric drag to dramati-
cally slow it down from Mach 4, or
four times the speed of sound.
Then the parachute unfurled but
only partially. The vehicle made a hard
landing in the Pacic Ocean.
Engineers wont look at the para-
chute problem as a failure but as a way
to learn more and apply that knowl-
edge during future tests, said NASA
engineer Dan Coatta with the Jet
Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena,
California.
In a way, thats a more valuable
experience for us than if everything
had gone exactly according to plan,
he said.
Aship was sent to recover a black
box designed to separate from the
vehicle and oat. Outtted with a GPS
beacon, the box contains the crucial
ight data that scientists are eager to
analyze.
NASA planned to hold a news tele-
conference on the ight Sunday.
Since the twin Viking spacecraft
landed on the red planet in 1976,
NASAhas relied on a parachute to slow
landers and rovers.

As Seven Nation Army sang
early from the dugout, it was clear
San Mateo American was on the
verge of a big day.
American delivered a 14-8 win
over rival San Mateo National in
the District 52 Majors Tournament
Sunday at Red Morton Park.
Spurred by chanting their favorite
rally song the infamous guitar
melody from The White Stripes
Seven Nation Army American
jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the
rst. After a seesaw battle through
the middle innings, American
recaptured the lead in the fourth
before breaking it open with a
magic number seven-run rally in
the fth.
With its second win in as many
days American downed
Hillsborough 8-7 in Saturdays
tourney opener American
advances through the winners
bracket to face powerhouse
Pacica American Wednesday.
Thats going to be the one to
be at, San Mateo American man-
ager Ken Clayton said.
With Pacica American outscor-
ing its rst two opponents in the
District 52 bracket 46-1 while
clubbing 13 home runs,
Wednesdays game stands to be a
tall test for San Mateo American.
However, in addition to demon-
strating a are for the dramatic,
San Mateo American showed it can
bring some thunder of its own.
Sunday, Americans Justice Daly
was 2 for 3 with a home run and
four RBIs while batting in a run in
each of his four plate appearances.
His solo shot in the third inning
was a booming shot clearing the
left-eld fence of Mitchell Field
by approximately 50 feet.

There is a lot of good news coming out of the
baseball hotbed of Pacica these days.
Terra Nova shared a co-championship with
Carlmont in the Peninsula Athletic League Bay
Division earlier this year. The Pacica Joe
DiMaggio squad swept a doubleheader with
Millbrae Sunday to improve its undefeated
record to 16-0. The Pacica Colt League team
is playing for the league championship
Monday against South City at San Bruno Park
at 6:00 p.m.
Yet the current buzz from the Fog Capital of
California is about the performance of the
Pacica American team through the opening
two games of the District 52 Majors
Tournament.
Pacica American pummeled the opposition
Saturday and Sunday at Redwood Citys Red
Morton Field by a cumulative score of 46-1.
The team banged out 43 hits and belted 13
home runs through just eight innings of play,
as both games were halted after four innings
by virtue of the mercy rule.
Elijah Ricks led the hit parade with a 6-for-8
showing with three doubles and three home
runs. In Saturdays 26-0 win over Redwood
City West, the 12-year-old slugger went deep
twice in the same inning clubbing a three-
run bomb followed by a grand slam amid a
14-run rally in the fourth.
Leadoff hitter Cruise Thompson was 4 of 5
and also notched a two-home run game
Saturday, while Nate Azzopardi twice went deep
in Sundays 20-1 win over Palo Alto National.

SACRAMENTO Ronnie Ash began his
day by becoming the rst in the world since
2012 to break the 13-second barrier in the
110 hurdles.
He ended it on a golf cart being driven
slowly out of Hornet Stadium, bandages
around his right ankle and left wrist, with
two big bags of ice secured tightly around
his right knee and left shoulder.
It was the result of a nasty spill Sunday
midway through the nal after tumbling
over one of the hurdles just when it appeared
he was pulling away from the pack.
That quickly, Ashs hopes of winning his
rst national title at the U.S. Outdoor Track
and Field Championships crashed as hard as
he did.
Its bittersweet, Ash said. I was trying
to be so consistent in what I was doing.
Once the race started surging on I rushed my
dive and I hit underneath my lead hamstring,
and the combination with my trail bashing
into the hurdle ... I hit dead smack onto the
track.
Ashs tumble opened the door for Devon
Allen, who sprinted past his fallen col-
league and went on to win in 13.16 seconds.
Allen, the college champion who doubles
as a wide receiver at Oregon, edged Ryan
Wilson by ve-hundredths of a second for
his rst U.S. title.
I knew I was going to run fast in this
league, Allen said. Things started click-
ing in practice, feeling better, and going
through things and running faster.
It was the nal race of the four-day meet
and easily the closest. The difference
between rst and sixth place was 12-hun-
dredths of a second.
Ash wasnt a part of it. He spent nearly an
hour getting treatment, which included mul-
tiple small cuts and abrasions around his

Homer Bailey heard fre-
quent reminders that he
had a no-hit bid in
progress. Not anyone on
the Cincinnati bench
mentioned it, however.
I wasnt really think-
ing about it, other than
the fan just above our
dugout who kept yelling
at me about it, Bailey said. That was nice
of him.
Bailey made a strong bid for yet another
no-hitter, shutting down San Francisco until
Buster Poseys two-out single in the sev-
enth inning and pitching the Reds past the
Giants 4-0 Sunday.
Bailey has thrown no-hitters in each of
the last two seasons, and did it against the
Giants at home last July 2. He came close to
pitching the latest gem at AT&T Park the
ballpark was the scene of Tim Lincecums
no-hitter Wednesday against San Diego.
I had pretty good stuff, got a lot of early
outs and we scored enough runs, Bailey
said. It was our lucky day, I guess.
Bailey (8-4) nished with a three-hitter as
the Reds completed their first four-game
sweep in San Francisco since 1972 at
Candlestick Park.
Billy Hamilton, Brandon Phillips, Brayan
Pena and Skip Schumaker drove in runs as
the Reds won their season-best fth straight
and eighth in nine overall.

Pacifica American
makes statement to
open Dist. 52 play
Luke Bottari earned the win in relief as San Mateo American downed rival
San Mateo National in the Distirct 52 Majors Tournament.
Homer Bailey
while totaling ve RBIs on the day. And
Saturday, Luke Bottari was 2 for 4 with a
double and a home run.
Bottari was the hero on the mound
Sunday as the right-hander earned the win
with 3 1/3 innings of relief. He tabbed
three shutout innings before getting
touched for a run in the sixth when the
score was out of reach.
[Bottari] is a great kid, Coach Clayton
said. Good mind-set, doesnt get shaken
up at all. He has a great demeanor on the
field and is just a great player altogether.
In addition to being a standout pitcher
for his Cubs team during the San Mateo
Little League season, Bottari is a rotation
regular for several travel teams, including
Firebirds Youth Baseball a team also
managed by Coach Clayton which
played in Cooperstown, New York last
summer.
With the American squad, Bottari has
the benefit of being paired up with his old
Firebirds battery mate, Tyler Moniz-
Whitton. The tandem immediately estab-
lished control of the game Sunday as
Bottari entered in the fourth to record the
only 1-2-3 inning of the game for either
team.
Theyre kind of the duo to have out
there, Coach Clayton said.
American jumped out to a three-run lead
in the first. Facing National starting
pitcher Connor Jerkovich, American came
out crowding the plate. And the strategy
paid off. Kannon Clayton and Chad Cliff
led off by drawing back-to-back walks.
Jack Hagerman followed with a gem of a
bunt single to load the bases. Daly got
American on the board with a sacrifice fly
to score Kannon Clayton. Then Meza
delivered a clutch two-out, two-run single
to plate Cliff and Hagerman, giving
American a 3-0 lead.
Jerkovich found his release point and
settled in from there though, and National
came roaring back in the second. Facing
American starter Daly, National sent 11
batters to the plate amid a five-run inning.
Jerkovich led off with a single, followed
by a walk to Antonio Balistrano and a sin-
gle by Tyler Larrigue to load the bases.
Tory Lewis and J.D. Carson produced back-
to-back RBI singles before Logan Azem
drew a bases-loaded walk to tie the game 3-
3. Lewis crossed the plate with the go-
ahead run on a throwing error. Then
Jerkovich drew a bases-loaded walk on
four pitches to force home Carson, giving
National a 5-3 lead.
National was riding high after the see-
saw rally, but not too high.
We didnt want to get big-headed
because we knew they had a lot of good
pitchers, Jerkovich said. But they were
our rivals, so we were excited.
In the third, Daly crushed a solo bomb to
close Nationals lead to 5-4. American had
a good chance to go large by loading the
bases with one out, but National produced
a rally-killer by pegging a runner at home
on an attempt to score on a would-be wild
pitch. National went on to escape with the
lead in tact.
The lead didnt last much longer though.
In the fourth, American scored three runs
by virtue of one hit a leadoff double by
Kannon Clayton to retake the lead. Jace
Jeremiah then reached on an infield error,
which saw Kannon Clayton score the
tying run on the second error of the play
with an errant throw. Hagerman walked and
Bottari was hit by a pitch before American
grinded out a pair of runs with two RBI
groundouts by Daly and Tristan Dewing,
giving American a 7-5 lead.
We had very aggressive base-running,
Coach Clayton said. We got thrown out a
couple times pushing the envelope but
finally started putting the ball into play.
American broke it open in the fifth,
sending 10 batters to the plate amid a
seven-run rally. Moniz-Whitton led off
with a single but was thrown out trying to
advance to third on Jason Manginis dou-
ble. With two outs, Jeremiah reached on a
throwing error to plate Sylvestri. After a
Hagerman single, Jeremiah scored on a
wild pitch. Bottari singled home
Hagerman. Daly doubled home Bottari.
After a Dewing walk, Meza drilled a three-
run homer to right-center to give American
a 14-5 lead.
National rallied for three runs in its
final at bat. After back-to-back one-out
si ngl es by Ant hony Paol i nel l i and
Azem, cleanup hitter Chris Mok
launched a three-run home run to left
field to cap the days scoring.
The rivals collided on the second day of
the double-elimination tourney by virtue
of each executing dramatic wins Saturday.
In fact, with both teams playing at the
same time San Mateo National versus
Pacifica National and San Mateo American
versus Hillsborough the two games
were each deadlocked 6-6 simultaneously
in the late innings.
After American jumped out to a 6-2 lead
Saturday on Kiwanis Field, Hillsborough
tied it up on one swing when Chase
Funkhouser launched an opposite-field
grand slam with a sweet left-handed back-
spin over the left-field fence. American
answered back with two runs in the fifth
though, producing RBI singles by
Clayton and Jeremiah; then American was
able to hold off a sixth-inning
Hillsborough surge to win it 8-7.
National trailed the whole way in its
Saturday matchup with Pacifica. Entering
its final at-bat in the bottom of the sixth
trailing 6-5, National rallied for a pair of
runs, with an RBI single by Azem to tie it
before Jerkovich produced an RBI single
for the walk-off win.
[Jerkovich] hit a hard groundball to
second base. It reached the outfield and we
knew we won, Nationals Paolinelli said.
We were really happy.
National and American played a scrim-
mage game June 22 previous to the
District 52 tournament. American pre-
vailed in the scrimmage 3-0.

By Mike Corder
FORTALEZA, Brazil The Dutch were wor-
ried about the oppressive heat at Arena
Castelao, and they left it with the stiing hot
conditions to thank for a spot in the World
Cup quarternals.
An inspired tactical change during the sec-
ond of two ofcial stoppages led to a late goal
from Netherlands forward Wesley Sneijder and
an injury-time penalty from Klaas Jan
Huntelaar in a dramatic 2-1 victory over
Mexico on Sunday.
I moved to Plan B at the cooling break,
said Netherlands coach Louis van Gaal, soon
to be the manager at Manchester United.
That is a good way to take advantage of
those breaks.
Despite scoring 10 goals in three group
matches, the Dutch again started the match
with a defensive 5-3-2 system. Van Gaal made
the switch to a more attacking 4-3-3 formation
in the second half and tweaked it further when
referee Pedro Proenca stopped the match in the
76th minute to allow players to rehydrate.
That helped turn the match around and
extend Mexicos second-round curse to six
straight World Cups.
Unbelievable, said Arjen Robben, the
Netherlands forward that earned the late
penalty. Five minutes from full time, we
were out.
Instead of the Dutch players, it was the
Mexicans who wilted in the heat as they con-
ceded twice as many goals in the nal minutes of
the match as they had in the entire group stage.
The humidity was against us, but we were
fresher and tter than the Mexicans, Van
Gaal said. Yes, we escaped. But we showed
that we could create more chances with 4-3-3,
and the players handled this shift very well.
The Dutch will next face Costa Rica in the
quarternals on Saturday in Salvador, and may
have to play without midelder Nigel de
Jong, who was substituted in the ninth
minute with a groin injury.
Mexico coach Miguel Herrera, one of the
most popular characters at the World Cup
because of his emotive ways on the sidelines,
blamed Proenca for the loss and accused
Robben of diving under a challenge from
Rafael Marquez to earn the penalty.
Today it was the man with the whistle who
eliminated us from the World Cup, Herrera
said. If a referee invents a penalty, youre out
of the World Cup.
I hope they have a look at what happened
and that this gentleman goes home just like
we are.
Marquez said Robben admitted that it was a
bad call, but added that the Dutchman thought
he should have been awarded a spot kick for
an earlier challenge.
I spoke with him after the match and he
told me that it was not a penalty, Marquez
said. He said that the rst foul was a penalty
and that one was not called.
Mexico has now advanced to the second
round at the World Cup six straight times and
not reached the quarternals. The last time the
team made it that far was as host of the 1986
tournament.
Giovani Dos Santos gave the Mexicans the
lead in the 48th minute after a goalless rst
half, but Sneijder equalized with a hard shot in
the 88th.
It was the rst time Sneijder, who scored
ve goals at the last World Cup in South
Africa, has found the net in Brazil.
Robben, who has already scored three goals
for the Dutch at this years tournament, then
earned the penalty in the fourth minute of
injury time but he handed the ball to Huntelaar.
You dont know when your chance will
come, but it was today, and so you grab it with
both hands, said Huntelaar, who replaced
captain Robin van Persie in the 76th minute.
And it was fantastic.
For Mexico, goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa
was again the star player, pulling off two
more great saves after playing a key role in
holding Brazil to a 0-0 draw in Group A.
But he couldnt block Sneijders shot and
guessed wrong when diving in an attempt to
stop Huntelaars penalty.
It isnt easy to go out this way, the way
this match went, Ochoa said. Its just very
hard to deal with when victory escapes you
this way.

Navas carries
Costa Rica to
quarterfinals
By Brett Martel
RECIFE, Brazil When Costa Rica
sealed its rst berth in the World Cup quar-
terfinals, the celebrating Ticos sprinted
straight for Keylor Navas and mobbed him
in celebration.
Michael Umana had driven home the penal-
ty kick that clinched the 5-3 shootout victo-
ry over Greece, but he didnt seem to mind
that his teammates streamed right past him.
It was Navas, after all, who made a slew of
spectacular saves of blistering shots and
point-blank deections during regulation
and extra time, forcing the shootout in
which he made the only save, diving right
to swat away Theofanis Gekas attempt.
It was the latest chapter in a remarkable
stint for Navas, who has two clean sheets in
this World Cup and recently enjoyed one of
the best seasons of any goalkeeper in the
Spanish league.
For a long time, Ive worked in a very
humble way so that I can do things for the
benet of my team, wherever I play, Navas
said. Im very pleased with all the people
who reward my work and give me words of
encouragement. Im very grateful to my fam-
i l y, to my wifes family. I believe that
theyre all very important in my life.
As the pressure rose against Greece, Navas
said he kept thinking of his children.
That is what Ive always tried to do. I try
to be a good father, I tried to be a good friend
and in such a beautiful sport as football, I
always try to have my kids happy so when
they grow up, they can look back and they
can see a father who did important things for
their country, Navas said. Thats what
football is all about. Try to make history
and the greater, the better.
Navas was credited with a La Liga-best
160 saves for Levante during his most
recent club season. He had 16 clean sheets
and allowed 39 goals, meaning he
stopped a La Liga-best 80.1 percent of the
shots he faced.

MIAMI Summoned from Triple-A
Sacramento, Nate Freiman caught a red-eye
flight to Miami and slept half an hour
before landing at 6:30 a.m. for his season
debut Sunday for the Oakland Athletics.
Despite too much coffee and not enough
sleep, Freiman hit a three-run homer to help
the As beat the Marlins 4-3 and complete a
three-game series sweep. He rejected his trav-
el itinerary as a long-term recipe for success.
Ill probably have to not make it a habit
of sleeping half an hour, he said. There
was too much adrenaline going. I was
wired. But once I get on the plane tonight,
I think Im going to be out cold.
The Athletics trailed 1-0 in the sixth
inning before breaking out against rookie
Andrew Heaney with four consecutive hits,
including Freimans home run. Freiman,
who spent all of last season with the As ,
was recalled when right elder Josh Reddick
returned to the disabled list because of a
right knee strain.
Nate had a full year in the big leagues last
year and knows what it is all about, manager
Bob Melvin said. He is not intimidated by it.
He gets called up, and on Day 1 has the
biggest hit of the game. He knows how to
play.
Tommy Milone (6-3) allowed two earned
runs in seven innings to win his sixth con-
secutive decision, a career best. Closer Sean
Doolittle was given the day off after appear-
ing in three consecutive games, and Ryan
Cook pitched the nal 1 1-3 innings for his
rst save.
The As, playing in Miami for the rst
time since 2003, came
from behind in all three
games. They won their
fourth in a row, improved
to 7-1 in interleague play
and reached the halfway
point of 2014 a season-
high 21 games above
.500 (51-30).
Weve been playing
tremendous baseball,
Milone said. Thats obviously what we
expect for ourselves. The goal now is just
to keep it up.
The highly touted Heaney (0-3), making
his third career start since being recalled
from Triple-A New Orleans, allowed four
runs in six innings to raise his ERA t o
5.29.
This is a learning experience, the left-
hander said. I feel like every time out Ive
gotten better. Hopefully, I can have one
where there are a lot more positives and Ill
be celebrating a win.
The Marlins will have an off day Monday
to lick their wounds after playing 17 con-
secutive days and going 5-12.
Marcell Ozuna had a pinch-hit drive for
his 14th homer, but the Marlins totaled
only six hits and hit into three double
plays. They had the best home record in the
majors earlier this month, but have lost
ve in a row at Marlins Park.
We just played a great team, manager
Mike Redmond said. We were in every sin-
gle game and could have won all three. We
just werent good enough this weekend.
Heaney was working on a shutout with
two out in the sixth when the AL West lead-
ers made their move. Consecutive singles
by Alberto Callaspo, Yoenis Cespedes and
Josh Donaldson scored one run, and the 6-
foot-8 Freiman pulled a pitch into the
nightclub beyond the left-eld fence.
Freiman changed his stance this season
and hit 14 homers in 76 games with
Sacramento.
Weve been noticing what he has been
doing in Triple-A, Milone said. Its no
secret he has got pop. We saw it today.
NOTES: The game was halted for 10 min-
utes in the seventh inning while medical
personnel treated two fans struck in the face
by the same foul ball. One of them was
taken to a hospital for treatment.

The Giants were swept in a four-game
series for the rst time in their ballpark that
opened in 2000. San Francisco has lost 15
of 19 while watching its 9 1/2-game lead
dwindle in the NL West, and dropped into a
virtual tie with the Los Angeles Dodgers.
We got them at the right time,
Schumaker said. Its still a playoff team, in
my opinion. They are too good of a team.
Im just happy to get out of here while they
were struggling a little bit.
Bailey walked one and struck out seven in his
fourth career shutout and sixth complete game.
Bailey walked Gregor Blanco leading off
the fourth, but later caught him taking off
early for third base and threw him out.
That was all the Giants got until Posey
singled cleanly to right-center eld. Pablo
Sandovals bloop single moved Posey to
third, but Bailey struck out Michael Morse
looking to end the inning.

We can hit a little bit, Pacica American
manager Steve Falk said.
And the dangerously balanced ballclub
can do a lot more than hit. Pacica American
pitching allowed just three hits through the
two games. Saturday, Chris Rodriguez,
Andrew Harkness and Mateo Jimenez com-
bined for a two-hit shutout. Sunday,
Christian Falk, Ricks and Thompson com-
bined on a one-hitter.
In his first season with the Pacifica
American, Thompson has been a huge edi-
tion to the team. Cut from a football back-
ground he recently nished his career as a
running back with the Pacica Tigersharks
and is moving to the San Bruno Rams in the
fall Thompson has starred on the base-
ball diamond for the San Bruno All-Stars and
San Mateo Federals travelling squads in
recent years.
[The decision to join Pacica American]
was pretty easy because they have a good
team and theyve won the last two or three
years, Thompson said.
The team certainly has won. As a 9 and 10-
year-old squad, Pacica American advanced
to the biggest stage possible in 2012. The
squad took the District 52 9/10 Tournament
crown that season then rolled to a Section 3
championship.
It was really fun, Ricks said. After sec-
tionals, how we were playing, I knew we
were going to go really far.
That they did, as Pacifica American
advanced to the Northern California region-
al tournament the nal stage of the 9 and
10-year-old All-Star season only to lose
in the championship game. In 2013, the
team won the District 52 10/11 Tournament
and returned to the Section 3 championship
game only to lose, falling one game shy of
another run at the regional crown.
Last year though, Pacifica American
accomplished what it did without Ricks,
who played for the 11 and 12-year-old squad.
It was quite summer for Ricks, who went on
to join the USA National Team, which
played 17 games in Taiwan. It was surely a
prestigious honor as the only other Bay
Area product named to the team was
Oaklands Adam Crampton.
Now back with the same Pacica American
group with which he celebrated so much suc-
cess in 2012, Ricks has opened with a our-
ish. His regular season for the Pacica Little
League Braves was a good primer. He hit 10
home runs to help the Braves to the champi-
onship game, only to lose to the Mets. But
with the District 52 Majors Tournament
serving as the preliminary round on the road
to Williamsport, Pennsylvania and the
Little League World Series, Ricks and com-
pany have got their sights set on Little
League baseballs primetime.
While Pacifica has always been a base-
ball hotbed, this year the citys baseball
community is firing on all cylinders.
Pacifica Joe DiMaggio manager Bryan
Powers gave some insight as to what the
driving force is behind Pacificas out-
standing across-the-board performance on
the diamond this year.
Powers grew up in Pacifica watching
local legends like pitcher Greg Reynolds
and outfielders Will Vogl and Jimmy
Parque, all of whom went on to play pro-
fessional baseball. And according to
Pacificas Joe D. skipper, the secret to the
Pacificas success is the passing of the
torch of generational talent.
These kids are seeing really good base-
ball players come through, Powers said.
Now, the kids are living up to the success.
PACIFICA
face, and expects to be sidelined for at least
a month.
At least hell have something to reect
on. Ashs 12.99 run in the seminals is the
fastest time in the world this year and the
fastest by anyone since Aries Merritt set
the world record of 12.80 in 2012.
Im beat up, Ash said. I think Ive got
a twisted ankle and some burns. Ive just
got to get my body back.
Curtis Mitchell won his rst U.S. title in
the 200. A third-place nisher a year ago,
Mitchells time of 20.13 is the second-
fastest by an American this year.
Dedric Dukes, who holds the top spot,
had the second-fastest qualifying time in
the seminals earlier in the day but was a
no-show for the nal.
I had to dig down deep in the nals,
Mitchell said. Just to be back in this posi-
tion this year and to compete and give
myself a chance to win it ... words cant
describe it.
Jeneba Tarmoh was also at a loss for
words after running 22.06 to win the
womens 200.
Agold medalist in the 400 relay in 2012,
Tarmoh got off to a sluggish start then drift-
ed wide on the nal turn before holding off
Kimberlyn Duncan, who nished in 20.10.
I havent been able to run an aggressive
200 this whole year, which is why I wanted
to focus on the 200 instead of doubling up,
Tarmoh said. I was comfortable. I was able
to run a more aggressive turn, focus on my
straight and not get too long.
Tarmoh said she was most pleased with
what she did over the nal 90 meters after
she drifted near the outer edge of her lane.
Thats my weakest part of my race,
Tarmoh said. I literally talked to myself the
whole race, saying, Pump your arms com-
ing off the turn really hard and aggressively
and focus. I was talking to myself the whole
race and it paid off.
Duane Solomon won his second straight
mens 800 title in dominant fashion.
A fourth-place finisher at the 2012
Olympics, Solomon built a comfortable
lead in the rst 200 and ran a crisp 49.65
split. He nished in 1:44.30, more than 1
1/2 seconds ahead of second-place Casimir
Loxsom.
That was the plan and I just tried to main-
tain it the whole way, said Solomon of his
initial quick pace. If I can run like this
every race, Ill be hard to beat.
Ajee Wilson, a two-time indoor champi-
on in the womens 800, added the outdoor
title to her resume. Wilsons time of
1:58.70 is the fastest by an American this
year and the third-fastest in the world in
2014.
Other mens winners were Jon Nunner in
the 20,000 racewalk (1:27:56.39), Johnny
Dutch in the 400 hurdles (48.93), Sam
Kendricks in the pole vault (18-10 1/4),
Sean Furey in the javelin (266-1), Jeffery
Henderson in the long jump (27-11 1/2) and
Evan Jager in the 3,000 steeplechase
(8:18.83).
Kori Carter ran 53.84 to win the womens
400 hurdles, Gia Lewis-Smallwood won the
discus (216-5), Inika McPherson took the
high jump (6-6 3/4) and Jenny Simpson
won the 1,500 (4:04.96).

We found a home-like
a[ oroa(c ,ovIol
to bring the quality spirit home but, due to
strict liquor regulations, importing it was-
nt an option. Instead, Bisono said she and
her husband decided on their own venture.
They created their own company and learned
from the Austrian distiller who rened his
craft by carefully picking fruit in its prime
and making it in small batches.
Before she knew it, Bisono said she was
browsing Craigslist looking for local
homeowners who were offering free fruit
from their backyards.
Bisono, an attorney who owns a small
successful real estate company, and her hus-
band, an ex-jockey who now manages a
large horse ranch in Woodside, spent time
with the award-winning Austrian distiller.
About a year and a half ago, they opened
Half Moon Bay Distillery in Princeton.
Thus far, theyve distilled small batches
of vodka, whiskey and brandy. Anxiously
awaiting further permitting and equipment,
they expect to begin sales in August or
September, Bisono said.
Bisono, now a prohibition buff, said
she mixes Californians appreciation
for locally crafted products with tales
of coastal history.
The distillerys rst signature product is
Purissima Vodka, which suitably translates
to pure and is named after the ghost town
harboring an unmarked graveyard just south
of Half Moon Bay.
As far as I can tell, I think were the only
legal distillery on the San Mateo coast ever.
So thats kind of cool and especially with
Half Moon Bay and Princeton being this
hotbed of booze smuggling history with all
the rum runners coming down from Canada.
Thats kind of fun theres a lot of history
tied to liquor, Bisono said.
Somewhat in trend with microbreweries
becoming increasingly popular, more arti-
san distillers have begun to tap into the
market. However, antiquated laws dating
back to prohibition are still on the books
and, as a producer, Bisono said distillers
cannot sell directly to a consumer.
Purissima Vodka and other Half Moon Bay
Distillery products will be available
through wholesalers, restaurants and bars,
Bisono said.
Although distilling requires navigating
more red tape than a winery or brewery,
Bisono said they take pride in creating a
product that cant be matched by larger scale
producers.
It goes back to prohibition and during
prohibition what happened is a lot of the
small distilleries got completely wiped out
because they couldnt make a living,
Bisono said. So it really concentrated the
liquor industry into large corporations.
It took months to garner the required fed-
eral, state and county permits and Bisono
said theyre still holding out for one more
before they can start bottling. Because
theyre located in Princeton just north of
Pillar Point Harbor, Bisono said they also
had to pay $4,700 just for a permit through
the California Coastal Commission.
But Bisono said shes condent theyve
found a perfect locale, surrounded by people
who truly appreciate handcrafted, locally
sourced products.
As creative and fun as foraging in peo-
ples backyards for organic fruit may be, and
shes always looking for people who want
to avoid letting fruit rot on the ground,
Bisono said they eventually aim to work
with an orchard nearby.
Bisono said plans to only sell Half Moon
Bay Distillery liquors on the coast for the
rst year and expects a 750 milliliter bottle
of Purissima vodka to start around $28.
Whiskey and fruit brandy will likely cost
more due to the increased time and effort
they take to distill, Bisono said.
Currently, the couple has invested about
$150,000 and has a Kickstarter campaign
aimed to raise $25,000 to purchase labeling
and bottling equipment, Bisono said. Shes
established fun ways for individuals to sup-
port them such as designing a tile for $75
that will be installed along a wall in their
distillery, $45 for a custom engraved ask,
$35 to attend their grand opening party or
$250 for a unique hands-on distilling work-
shop.
Although her heart still yearns for the
sweet clean taste of an Austrian pear brandy,
Bisono and her husband continue to tire-
lessly evolve their business and highlight
the rich history and quality produce the San
Mateo County coast has to offer.
I really think the whole locavore move-
ment got started in the Bay Area and this
food culture we have is unmatchable in the
rest of the United States, Bisono said.
There are all these different variables that
affect the product. The kind of yeast, the
type of process so all of these things,
thats where the craft element comes in. And
I really think you cant duplicate it with a
computer program. But its a very sensory
art. Atrue distiller, hell smell and taste and
touch it as it comes out of the still. You need
all of your senses to do it.

Moon Bay Distillery and its Kickstarter

SPIRITS
By Paul Elias
SAN FRANCISCO The 44th Annual San
Francisco Gay Pride Parade attracted more
than 100,000 spectators and participants
under unseasonably warm and sunny skies
Sunday.
The hundreds of motorcyclists of the les-
bian group Dykes on Bikes took their tradi-
tional spot at the head of the parade and loud-
ly kicked off the festivities with a combined
roar. Corporate support was also strong with
thousands of employees representing large
companies marching through San
Franciscos downtown to city hall. Apple
Inc. had one of the largest corporate pres-
ences with an estimated 4,000 employees
and family clad in white T-shirts with the
Apple logo and the word Pride emblazoned
on the front.
Search giant Google had a World Cup-
themed oat and other companies such as
Kaiser Permanente, Facebook and Whole
Foods had large contingents.
Representatives from a variety of religious
organizations, such as the Church Ladies for
Gay Rights were also on hand.
Many religions use the bible to try to
beat people into submission, said Michelle
Buggy, who was dressed in 19th century
clothing along with four other women from a
Sonoma church. We want to show the love
thats in the bible.
Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi, San
Francisco Mayor Ed Lee and assorted state
and local politicians rolled along San
Franciscos Market Street along with gay
San Francisco Police Department ofcers
holding hands with their signicant others
as their children skipped ahead.
Several elementary schools, summer
camps and other groups representing fami-
lies and children were part of the parade
along with the San Francisco Gay Mens
Choir, who belted out tunes along the way
like New Beginning. Empty cans of glit-
ter hair spray, liquor bottles and plastic
beads littered the route which was thronged
on both sides with cheering spectators.
U.S. Army Pvt. Chelsea Manning was
named an honorary grand marshal for the
parade a year after organizers bestowed and
then rescinded the same title after elding
complaints. Manning is serving a 35-year
sentence in a military prison in Fort
Leavenworth, Kansas after being convicted
of sending classied documents to anti-
secrecy website WikiLeaks. She joined the
Army as a man named Bradley, but changed
her name to Chelsea after being diagnosed
with gender dysphoria, the sense of being a
woman in a mans body.
Spectators and visitors have been ock-
ing to the city for a week, crowding San
Franciscos bars, restaurants and other pub-
lic gathering places. The San Francisco
Police Department opened two special com-
mand centers in the city and reported 65 pub-
lic intoxication arrests along with six
felony arrests Saturday night.

O
ur recent adopt-a-thon was a total
love fest, with dogs, cats, rab-
bits, and a pair of
black/orange/white Timmy Lincecum (pre-
haircut) look-alike guinea pigs nding
there forever homes. We charged no adop-
tion fees and kept the doors open until
midnight. Some adopters didnt make it
out without spending something, but this
was no bait and switch. When our experts
evaluate dogs prior to adoption, they
know some will benet greatly from an
obedience class and we make it a required
part of the adoption. Adopters can enroll
in a PHS/SPCAclass or any other program
of their choosing. We usually make this
part of any puppy adoption and package
it with some young adult dogs we feel need
to continue the good work we started. The
training can help ensure adopters have the
best possible relationship and future with
their dog. My brother-in-law adopted a 9-
month-old, white uffy mix
(Terrier/Pomeranian?) and even he couldnt
pull the but I know someone! card.
Theyre heading off to training and it
will be the best thing for both of them.
Some of you may be considering training,
but are nding it difcult to squeeze into
your busy summer schedule. We have the
answer: Two-day Mini-Training Sessions.
The three-day blinds people have nothing
on us! Were offering Loose Leash
Walking, which is for dog owners tired of
having their dogs pull them. If your dogs
leash is taut like a water-skiing rope (hes
the boat and you are the skier!), this mini-
session is for you. Our instructor will help
you teach your dog how to walk with a
loose leash in just two sessions:
Monday, July 14 and Monday, July 21,
6:15 p.m.-7:15 p.m. both nights. Were
also offering Total Recall, a two-day
session which will help you teach your
dog the most important command: come.
This session is Monday, July 14 and
Monday, July 21, 7:30 p.m.-8:30 p.m.
both nights. To register, call 650/340-
7022, ext. 667.

LOS ANGELES Transformers: Age of
Extinction is ruling the box ofce.
The fourth installment in filmmaker
Michael Bays morphing robots series
earned $100 million in North America dur-
ing its opening weekend, making it the
biggest debut for a movie this year, accord-
ing to studio estimates Sunday. The
Paramount blockbuster outperformed
Captain America: The Winter Soldier and
its $95 million inauguration in April.
Age of Extinction also earned $201.3
million from 37 international territories,
specically making $90 million in China,
where it was partially lmed and co-pro-
duced by partners like the state-owned
China Film Group and the China Movie
Channel.
With almost half of the international
total coming from China, it shows how
important that marketplace is to the world-
wide box ofce, said Paul Dergarabedian,
senior analyst for box-office tracker
Rentrak. This lm has really capitalized
on all fronts.
Age of Extinction stars Mark Wahlberg
and Nicola Peltz as a human father-daughter
duo who aid the shape-shifting robots from
the Hasbro toy franchise. Besides the addi-
tion of a new human crew, the sequel also
introduces the popular Transformers charac-
ters based on the likenesses of dinosaurs.
I think putting Mark Wahlberg front and
center accomplished what we wanted to do,
and thats re-energize the franchise,
Paramount vice chairman Rob Moore said.
He appeals to audiences, both critically
and as an action star.
Age of Extinction topped the previous
entry in the series, Dark of the Moon,
which took in $97.9 million during its
opening weekend in 2011, but failed to
eclipse the $108.9 million debut of the sec-
ond lm, Revenge of the Fallen.
The first three Transformers films
starred Shia LaBeouf as a teenager who
befriends hulking alien robots Optimus
Prime (voiced by Peter Cullen) and
Bumblebee. The original 2007 lm made
$70.5 million and went on to domestically
gross $319.2 million.
Age of Extinction was distantly fol-
lowed at the North American box ofce by a
trio of sophomore efforts: 22 Jump Street
in second place with $15.4 million; How
To Train Your Dragon 2 in third place with
$13.1 million; and Think Like a Man Too
in fourth place with $10.4 million.
The Transformers movies are known
for being released around the Fourth of July,
so this really ensures the lm will have a
strong second weekend, said
Dergarabedian. The only movie opening
ahead of next weekend in wide release is the
Melissa McCarthy comedy Tammy and
that will be counterprogramming to
Transformers.
Estimated ticket sales for Friday through

Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters,
according to Rentrak. Where available, lat-
est international numbers are also included.
Final domestic gures will be released on
Monday.
1. Transformers: Age Of Extinction,
$100 million ($201.3 million internation-
al).
2. 22 Jump Street, $15.4 million ($9.6
million international).
3. How To Train Your Dragon 2, $13.1
million ($17.9 million).
4. Think Like a Man Too, $10.4 million.
5. Malecent, $8.2 million ($16 mil-
lion international).
6. Jersey Boys, $7.6 million ($11 mil-
lion international).
7. Edge of Tomorrow, $5.2 million
($6.9 million international).
8. The Fault in Our Stars, $4.8 million
($13 million international).
9. X-Men: Days of Future Past, $3.3
million ($6.2 million international).
10. Chef, $1.6 million.

Mateo-Foster City Elementary School
District committee decided to hire on the
group to coordinate hosting what could be
a minimum of 40 meetings to gather feed-
back on ways of alleviating the lack of
facilities in the district, with potential
town halls, focus groups, community
forums, attending pre-existing events and
other strategies. Proposed community
engagement meeting dates are from August
or September to October.
Superintendent Cynthia Simms has
noted the engagement process will be very
important. During a November 2013 $130
million bond measure campaign, Simms
said the district did not actively engage its
staff. The effort, Measure P, only received
46.6 percent approval, short of the 55 per-
cent needed for passage.
Measure P would have cost property own-
ers $19 per $100,000 assessed property
value. Its aim was to rebuild and expand
Bowditch Middle School to add Foster City
fifth-graders and reopen Knolls Elementary
School in San Mateo for the 2016-17
school year.
Overcrowding remains a concern, as each
year approximately 250 more students join
the districts elementary and middle
schools. Simms said the Peninsula
Conflict Resolution Center will be a good
fit to help with public outreach about over-
crowding issues in the district since the
center has worked with community groups
and agencies in San Mateo County for more
than 20 years,. The center has recently
worked with First 5 San Mateo to gather
data, suggestions and ideas about how
Proposition 10 tobacco tax funding should
be allocated throughout San Mateo County.
It also worked with the San Bruno Park
Elementary School District for strategic
planning on a family engagement plan and
the city of South San Francisco to gather
information for development of a strategic
plan around community health issues.
The Peninsula Conflict Resolution
Center is based in San Mateo and knows
San Mateo and Foster City very well,
Simms wrote in an email. Their experi-
ence with, and connections to, the variety
of communities and agencies throughout
the San Mateo-Foster City [Elementary]
School District make them an excellent
choice to coordinate community engage-
ment strategies for the Next Steps
Advisory Committee.
Meeting one on one, in small group set-
tings, and ultimately in town hall forums,
the committee and the Peninsula Conflict
Resolution Center hope to attract hundreds
of stakeholders, such as PTAs, teachers,
parents, newspapers, the No on P cam-
paign, city staff, unions, environmental
groups, politicians such as state Sen. Jerry
Hill, D-San Mateo, chambers of commerce
in San Mateo and Foster City, church
groups, site councils, Realtors, senior cit-
izens and others. The committee intends to
ask for stakeholder input in guiding the
next steps the district should take to
address the school capacity and equity
challenge, according to the district. Other
engagement strategies the group is look-
ing at are phone surveys, home visits,
advertising, ice cream socials, design
thinking events, creating a website for
Next Steps and other methods.
A few of the Next Step members seemed
to be concerned if they (Peninsula Conflict
Resolution Center) had enough staff, said
committee member and Trustee Ed Coady.
Theyre talking about attending quite a
few meetings and getting input. They real-
ly kind of demonstrated theyre up for the
task; theyve done this for other school
districts.
So far, the Next Steps group hasnt faced
any real challenges, he said.
The problem is real; this is not one of
those philosophical or imaginary prob-
lems, he said. I think were making
progress because everyone seems to be
aware theres real challenges with equity.
The path ahead of us is going to have some
really challenging work and we need our
entire community to come together.
Meanwhile, committee member Larry
Lowenthal, who was on the
Superintendents Committee on
Overcrowding Relief that worked to address
student capacity challenges in Foster City,
said many complaints about the 2013 bond
measure surrounded around a lot of people
not knowing much about both it and the
overcrowding issues.
The school district is going to hire
them (Peninsula Conflict Resolution
Center) to essentially get out the word
were interested in feedback, he said.
This is totally different than SCORE. We
were given task of overcrowding popula-
tion in Foster City and I still feel it was a
great idea, but the whole idea now is to
bring this all together so everybody feels
theyre getting an equal chance.
The committee will tour district middle
schools on June 28 to observe capacity
issues firsthand. The bus leaves at 8 a.m.
from the district office, 1170 Chess Drive
in Foster City, and is open to the public.
Committee meetings are held on the first
and fourth Mondays of the month, from
5:30 p.m.-7:30 p.m. at the district office,
but will not run in July. Check smfcsd.net
for updates, meeting schedules, agendas
and highlights of each meeting. The next
meeting is Aug. 4.

SCHOOL
look at opportunities for revisions that make
adding to the in-law stock easier, Littleeld
said.
The citys goal is giving property owners
greater design exibility without allowing
structures that dont t with the existing look
and feel.
Littleeld said the city hears anecdotally
from residents worried that the units are
impacting the general character of their
neighborhood with too many occupants,
parking congestion and noise. Property
owners coming in for permits are also being
told that what they want to build doesnt meet
current code.
City staff hopes tweaking the ordinance
will make residents, tenants and property
owners satised while encouraging legal
construction.
Although the city anticipated seeing 132
new units over a 10-year planning period,
only 30 went up between 2000 and 2010. In
the last year, only one to three permits were
actually issued by the city. Meanwhile, near-
ly 20 percent of all code enforcement cases
involved illegal units which can take up to
six months to resolve.
Its still early to know exactly what that
means by that is why were making this
effort. Is it our code that is the limiting fac-
tor? Littleeld said.
Current guidelines allow an accessory
dwelling unit, or ADU, to be attached or
detached from the main house, consist of no
more than one bedroom and 640 square feet
and be located at least 20 feet from the rear
and six feet from the side property lines. One
uncovered parking space is required for the
unit and two covered for the main house, all
of which can be located as close as 20 feet
from the front and six feet from the side prop-
erty lines. An attached unit can be two stories
but stand-alone units are limited to one story.
City staff wants to hear specically what
people think about the setbacks, height,
parking and the requirement that homeowners
must live in the main house rather than rent-
ing it out and living themselves in the acces-
sory dwelling unit. The city is also interested
in talking about incentives to build the units
as affordable housing for low- and middle-
income earners, seniors and special needs
populations. One idea is reducing develop-
ment impact fees or allowing larger construc-
tion than currently required by zoning.
All of these ideas are just conversation
starters, Littleeld said.
Mayor Jeff Gee said in an announcement of
the upcoming meetings that the city under-
stands the many benets of the units such as
extra living space, housing for caregivers or
college students, rental income and bolster-
ing property values.
That is why the city hopes both residents
and real estate professionals turn out to con-
tribute ideas about what works and doesnt
work in the existing rules, Gee said.
The city is also asking that those headed to
one or both of the meetings arm themselves
with information about ADUs courtesy of its
website and speaking with at least ve peo-
ple about the concept of the units.
Along with crafting guidelines for future
units, the Planning Commission will also
study the possibility of creating an amnesty
program for illegal units like those already
in place in the cities of San Carlos and Daly
City.
The ordinance will require an environmen-
tal impact review because it is considered a
project under the California Environmental
Quality Act.
Littleeld said the hope is to have a draft
ordinance back before the Planning
Commission by late fall.

zoned residential; and restricts boat
trailers, with or without boats, from
being left in the public right-of-way
on streets that are zoned residential.
Mariners Island Boulevard has
unique challenges as it runs a divide
through San Mateo and Foster City.
The street itself is subject to San
Mateos parking ordinances, how-
ever the southeastern curb near
Third Avenue before it loops around
Bridgepointe marks the beginning
of Foster City.
Oversized vehicles are allowed to
park on the side of the road closest
to Foster City because its primarily
commercial properties, said San
Mateo police Sgt. Tim Sullivan.
Although oversized vehicles are
permitted, police have responded by
enforcing other applicable rules,
Sullivan said.
Some people are seeing that
thats a possible place to park and
they are taking advantage of that.
So were following up with enforce-
ment of, even though we cant write
a ticket for oversized vehicles on
that south side stretch of Mariners
(Island Boulevard), we can issue a
violation for the 72-hour rule,
Sullivan said.
A citywide rule is that no vehicle
is allowed to stay parked for more
than 72 hours on any street. The
ticket for an oversized vehicle is
$45, but those who violate the 72-
hour rule are subject to a $145 fine
or even having their vehicle towed,
Sullivan said.
Although Mariners Island
Boulevard presents a unique chal-
lenge, throughout the city people
have generally been following the
rules, Sullivan said.
City Manager Larry Patterson said
the law was created in response to
frustrated residents and, although
the majority of people have com-
plied, Mariners Island Boulevard is
still being evaluated.
Its a little bit of an odd area over
there. But we are looking at that.
Because the intent wasnt just to
move them to a different location,
but the intent was to have the own-
ers take some responsibility and
park them appropriately, Patterson
said.
Oversized vehicles can still be
parked on non-residential streets
such as on portions of El Camino
Real. But when purchasing a boat or
motor home, a buyer needs to con-
sider whether they have the land or
resources to store it, said Ben Toy,
president of the San Mateo United
Homeowners Association.
In 2011, SMUHA was a driving
force that pushed for the oversized
vehicle ordinance with safety and
aesthetics in mind, Toy said.
SMUHA got involved because,
generally we dont take a position
unless enough of the associations
vote for it, and in this case it was
unanimous. Almost all of the asso-
ciations voted to stand behind and
push for this [ordinance], Toy said.
Its about being courteous to your
fellow citizens out there.

public. Thats why a person like
William Crapo Durant is needed
when new industries are trying to
get to their feet. In 1890, Durant,
who had been a carriage salesman,
teamed up with a partner and formed
the Durant-Dort Carriage Company
in Flint, Michigan. In 1904, he
became general manager of Buick
and continued moving the company
into a fluid and economically sound
institution. Durant was restless,
however, and he had bigger dreams.
In 1908, he formed a new concept,
General Motors, a multi-layer com-
pany he envisioned selling cars to a
targeted market. He bought
Oldsmobile, followed by Oakland,
Cadillac (eventually a total of 13
companies) and some parts compa-
nies. He also conceived of the auto-
mobile dealer franchises and, at his
first auto show in New York, he sold
orders for 1,108 Buicks. What a
salesman.
By 1920, he had bought Chevrolet
and Republic Motors but, by 1920, he
lost control of General Motors to the
DuPont interests.
In the early 1900s, more than
1,000 companies were building and
trying to sell cars. The market was
thinned out over time and consoli-
dations worked in favor of the buy-
ing public.
Fords Model T was to sell over 16
million automobiles before 1927.
Henry Ford was forced by his son,
Edsel, and his backers to change the
model and the Model A rolled off of
the assembly line. No longer did the
owner have to crank the engine to
get it started and brakes were now
on all wheels (instead of the trans-
mission being the brake). With the
newer steel-welded spoke wheels,
lower pressure balloon tires no
longer flew off of the rim when a
blowout occurred. Safety glass
(instead of dangerous plate glass) in
the windshield was standard now.
The new car used a standardized, left
side steering wheel and three gears
forward (with reverse) and the gas
tank was above the engine (danger-
ous). The 177-cubic-inch front
mounted inline four-cylinder engine
with a speed of 45 to 50 mph was
replaced by a 201-cubic-inch engine
(with a speed of 55 to 60 mph), giv-
ing the Model Asufficient power so
it no longer had to be backed up the
steeper hills to get over them. The
price was still dropping and they
went for $385 (a roadster went for
$1, 400), in a price range that
almost everyone could afford.
With the advent of the automobile
in the society, the infrastructure had
to be improved. California developed
an agency for autos (the Department
of Motor Vehicles) and new and
improved roads was its first goal.
Speed limits had to be agreed on and
road signs became standardized. Gas
stations sprung up to service the new-
fangled machines and it wasnt long
before automobile courts (motels)
were being built. The revolution had
only begun to cater to this multi-bil-
lion dollar institution.

MONDAY, JUNE 30, 2014
CANCER (June 21-July 22) Dont take chances with
your money. Beware of someone trying to convince you
to change careers. Unless you have another position
available, stay put. Its better to be safe than sorry.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You will have a terric day
if you follow your intuition and take action. Change
will be good, and the rewards for following through
and doing your own thing will be satisfying.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Proceed with caution.
Your professional integrity may be questioned if
you appear to be uncertain. Dont be manipulated
by someone trying to put the blame on you for
something you didnt do.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) Its time for a
celebration. Gather your friends and family, and have
everyone pitch in to make your event more enjoyable.
If you have someone in your life youd like to get to
know better, be sure to invite him or her.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) You may be feeling
insecure, but thats no reason to share your
secrets. Your plans cannot be sabotaged if you
keep them to yourself. Play it safe.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) You will gain a
lot of knowledge from someone who comes from a
different background. Open your eyes and mind to
new and exciting subjects and interests.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Avoid getting into
nancial trouble by handling your own money matters.
Staying in control of your investments will give you
greater opportunity to make your money work for you.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) Show some
consideration to the ones you love. Even if your day
is not going as planned, it isnt fair to take out your
frustration on those around you.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) Dont sit idle when you
should be active. Get together with friends for some
outdoor fun. Set aside some time to spend a special
evening with someone you love.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) Once in a while, its
good to blow your own horn. The more self-promotion
you do, the easier it will be to meet someone who can
help you get to the next level.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) If you dont want
to deal with regret, show a little restraint. Making
assumptions or jumping to conclusions before you
have all the details will make you look bad.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Get out and socialize.
Whatever the situation, you will enjoy being the center
of attention. A change of plans will turn out to be in
your favor. Go with the ow.

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

experience in treating patients suffering from
severe disc disease. Dr. Ferrigno has performed

Spinal Decompression, and utilizes the protocols

Chairman, former Harvard professor, and probaby
the most published doctor in the world on spinal
decompression therapy.
