Millbrae red light tickets jump

1,555 tickets in June, officials say cameras necessary to ensure public safety
By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Drivers in Millbrae received an unprecedented amount of tickets from cameras monitoring traffic violations at red lights,
according to a website monitoring the red
light camera system.
The citys seven cameras issued 1,555
tickets in June, the most ever in the nineyear history of having them in place,
according to HighwayRobbery.net.
A majority of the tickets were issued to
drivers taking a right-hand turn to merge
from Millbrae Avenue southbound onto
Highway 101, which is where 595 drivers
were recorded making what many consider a
legal maneuver, according to Jim Lissner,
who operates the website.
Lissner, who monitors red light cameras t h ro ug h o ut t h e s t at e, s ai d h e
believes the citys system is being over-
vigilant in issuing tickets.

I think its just bad for the reputation of
the local area, he said. Millbrae is controlling part of the local access to the airport and BART, and taking advantage of it.
There were 419 more tickets issued in
June than the month prior, and the righthand-turn tickets from Millbrae Avenue
onto southbound Highway 101 were the
most since May 2014, according to the
archives on the website.
Councilman Wayne Lee attributed the

hike in tickets on the general health of the
economy, and said there are more cars on
the road, which could contribute to there
being more citations being issued.
I think its just an upturn in more traffic, he said.
City Clerk Angela Louis echoed those
sentiments, and said the city is aware more
citations are being issued, which is likely

however, as they have to move their home on wheels by Dec. 31.
The tiny house revolution
Ballots for the fall election have been finalized, following an extended deadline which allowed additional candidates to throw their hats in the ring for public office.
The deadline for races in which an incumbent decided not
to run was pushed back until Wednesday, Aug. 12, to grant
additional time for more candidates to declare interest in
running for office, and now the ballot is set for an all-mail
countywide election Nov. 3.

ALTOONA, Pa. Police say dogs
trying to get at a box of cupcakes left

p.m. Sunday.
Thats when the landlord saw a small

WASHINGTON The octopus

already is an oddball of the ocean. Now
biologists have rediscovered a species
of that eight-arm sea creature thats
even stranger and shares some of our
social and mating habits.
With their shifting shapes, mesmerizing eyes, and uncanny intelligence,
octopuses are one of the most mysterious and captivating species, said
Rich Ross, a senior biologist at the
California Academy of Sciences.
Theyre aliens alive on our planet and
it feels like they have plans.
For Ross and colleagues, it got
stranger when they got a batch of
octopuses from Central America to
study. The critters just didnt fit the
loner denizen-of-the-deep profile that
scientists had drawn for the rest of the
300 or so octopus species.
While most octopuses live alone,
coming together for ever-so-brief and
dangerous mating, couples of this
species can live together to mate for a
few days in the same cramped den or
shell.
While other male octopuses mate

from a distance to avoid being cannibalized, these octopuses mate entangled beak-to-beak.
That style could almost be thought
of as romantic, said Alvaro Roura, an
octopus expert at La Trobe University
in Australia, who wasnt part of the
study.
While other females lay one batch
of eggs and then die, the female of this
species lives longer and produces eggs
constantly, bettering the species
chance of survival, Ross said.
But its more than sex. These octopuses clean out food waste from their
dens. They twirl their arms like an oldtimey movie villain with a moustache.
And they quickly learn that people
mean food: when someone enters the
room, they leave their dens and head to
the top of the tank.
Its the most amazing octopus that
Ive ever gotten to work with, Ross
said.
The octopus, normally a dull chocolate brown, suddenly sports stripes
and spots when it gets excited or
upset, said Roy Caldwell of the
University of California, Berkeley. He
is the lead author of a paper on the
octopus with Ross and others published Wednesday in the journal PLOS
One.
The species is preliminarily called
the Larger Pacific Striped Octopus,
although its really not much bigger
than a tennis ball just bigger than a
similar species.

Correctional officer arrested for allegedly

possessing and selling prescription drugs
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
A correctional officer with the San Mateo

County Sheriffs Office was arrested for
allegedly possessing and selling prescription drugs such as Xanax, oxycodone and
morphine, according to the District
Attorneys Office.
Jason Jurow, 32, faces six felony charges
including being in possession of Xanax at
the county jail, according to prosecutors.
Jurow allegedly showed up to work May
20 appearing to be under the influence of a
controlled substance, according to prosecutors.
He was found to be in possession of
Xanax without a prescription based on an
initial Sheriffs Office investigation. The
District Attorneys Office then took over
the investigation and discovered he was in
possession of thousands
of pills including oxycodone and morphine,
according to prosecutors.
He had been out of work
for some time with an
injury, according to prosecutors.
Jurow was allegedly
Jason Jurow selling the pills to at
least two individuals,
including an uncle, according to prosecutors.
A warrant was issued for his arrest and
Jurow surrendered to authorities Wednesday.
He posted a $75,000 bail and is out of custody.
He returns to court Sept. 14 for a preliminary hearing.
His charges include bringing a controlled

substance into the county jail, selling a
controlled substance and possession for
purposes of sale, according to prosecutors.
Jurows salary in 2013 was approximately $160,000. His base pay was $87,000 and
he earned an additional $71,000 in overtime, according to county records.
Jurows arrest, although unrelated, follows the arrest of sheriffs deputy Juan
Pablo Lopez in 2014.
Lopez pleaded not guilty in December to
two counts of conspiracy for allegedly
allowing two correctional officers, George
Ismael and Michael Del Carlo, to smuggle
cellphones, oxycodone, alprazolam and
ibuprofen to inmate Dionicio Lopez, a Hells
Angels member accused of a shooting in
Daly City in 2011.
Woman seen after jump or fall from Bay Bridge evading police
By Kristen J. Bender
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO Police are searching

for a woman who emerged from the icy Bay
water Wednesday morning wearing a soaking wet black dress and no shoes after she
either jumped or fell from the San
Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge trying to
evade police in a stolen car.
California Highway Patrol Officer Vu
Williams said several people called 911 and
reported seeing the woman near the toll
plaza about 6 a.m. Wednesday roughly
four hours after CHP officers responded to
reports of a single-vehicle crash on the
bridges eastbound lanes.
Williams said the woman climbed over a
guardrail and either slipped or jumped about
70 feet into the water.
We really want to find her to make sure

she is OK, he said.
On the western span of the bridge, the fall
is about 200 feet, and survival is infrequent.
Vu said he did not know how many others had survived the shorter fall into the
Bay.
Further proof that the woman whose
name has not been released lived came
when an unidentified dump truck driver went
to the Oakland office of the CHP to report
that he had picked up a female hitchhiker
and driven her to an undisclosed location.
The hitchhiker matched the description of
the woman seen wearing wet clothing, Vu
said.
The woman, who Vu said is in her mid20s, was among three people who ran from
the crash. The two passengers were
detained, questioned and released, Vu said.

from the Golden Gate Bridge, which is about

fall.

sort has happened in Northern
California, Hughan said.
He said that the coyote the resident
encountered in Pacifica probably
viewed the dog as prey.
Coyotes are always looking for
food, theyre a top predator, he said.
So if youre out with a small- or medium-sized dog, the coyote sees that as a
good-sized meal.
Hughan said residents in areas where
coyotes live should be careful to not
leave dog food or trash outside unsecured. Dogs should be kept on leash and
should not be left out alone in the backyard at night because coyotes can jump
high fences.
What happens is, people get complacent, Hughan said. If you live anywhere near coyote habitat, you have to
be vigilant with your trash and your
pets.

LOWER LAKE Erratic winds fanned a

wildfire burning through rugged hills in
Northern California on Wednesday, pushing the flames across two counties and

In Southern California, all evacuation

increased containment of a small wildfire
sparked by a burning motor home in rural
Riverside County.
Officials say one person from the motor

taken to hospitals with minor injuries.
State fire officials said Wednesday that
the blaze about halfway between Temecula

acres. It is 50 percent contained.
Statewide, 16 active wildfires continue
to burn in California, with more than
11,000 firefighters battling them.
LOS ANGELES Jose Melena was loading

tons of tuna into industrial ovens at Bumble
Bee Foods when any workers worst nightmare occurred he got trapped inside and the
massive pressure cooker was turned on.
Melenas grisly death in a 270-degree oven
three years ago led to a $6 million agreement
by Bumble Bee on Wednesday to settle criminal charges in what Los Angeles District
Attorney Jackie Lacey said was the largest
payout in a California workplace-violation
death. The sum was four times greater than
the maximum fines the company faced.
This is the worst circumstances of death I
have ever, ever witnessed, said Deputy
District Attorney Hoon Chun, who noted that
he had tried more than 40 murder cases over
two decades. I think any person would prefer
to be if they had to die some way would
prefer to be shot or stabbed than to be slowly cooked in an oven.
Melena, 62, perished at the seafood companys Santa Fe Springs plant after a coworker mistakenly believed he was in the
bathroom and loaded six tons of canned tuna
into the oven after he had stepped inside.
The company didnt have safety procedures
that would have required the equipment be
turned off with an employee inside or provide
an escape route or a spotter to keep watch
with a worker in a confined space, Hoon said.
In a rare prosecution of a workplace fatality, Bumble Bee, its plant Operations Director
Angel Rodriguez and former safety manager
Saul Florez were each charged with three
counts of violating Occupational Safety &
Health Administration rules that caused a
death.
Each party reached a different plea agreement Wednesday in Los Angeles Superior
Court.
Bumble Bee agreed to plead guilty in
January 2017 to a misdemeanor of having
willfully failed to provide an effective safety
program.

Experts see long-term risks

from Colorado mine spill
By Matthew Brown
and P. Solomon Banda
DURANGO, Colo. Toxic waste that

gushed from a Colorado mine and threatened downstream water supplies in at least
three states will continue to be dangerous
when contaminated sediment gets stirred up
from the river bottom, authorities said
Wednesday, suggesting there is no easy fix
to what could be a long-term public health
risk.
The immediate impact of the 3 million
gallon spill on Aug. 5 eased as the plume of
contamination dissipated on its way to
Lake Powell along the Utah-Arizona border. But the strong dose of arsenic, cadmium, lead and other heavy metals settled out
as the wastewater traveled downstream, layering river bottoms with contaminants sure
to pose risks in the future.
There will be a source of these contaminants in the rivers for a long time, said
hydrologist Tom Myers, who runs a
Nevada-based consulting business. Every
time theres a high flow, it will stir it up
and it will be moving those contaminants
downstream.
The U. S. Environmental Protection
Agency had pushed for 25 years to grant
Keystone XL: U.S. review taking

five times longer than average
WASHINGTON The federal review of
the proposed Keystone XL oil pipeline from
Canada to Texas has dragged on for nearly
seven years, more than five times the average for such applications.
The White House insists its simply following a standard and well-established
process. In the 6 1/2 years since
TransCanada Corp. first applied for a permit,
the $8 billion project has become a flashpoint in the debate over climate change.
Under a George W. Bush-era executive
order, oil pipelines crossing U.S. borders
require a presidential permit, setting off a
government-wide review coordinated by the
State Department.
An Associated Press examination of every
cross-border pipeline application since
2004, when Bush revised the process,
shows that the Keystone review has been
anything but ordinary.
Since April 2004, when Bush signed his
order, the government has taken an average
Superfund status to the partly collapsed

Gold King mine and other idled mines leaking heavy metals above the old mining
town of Silverton, Colorado. That would
have brought in major funds for a comprehensive cleanup.
Local authorities spurned federal intervention, leaving a smaller EPA-led team to
investigate a small if steady stream of pollution. That team accidentally breached a
debris wall at the mine, unleashing the
pool of contaminated water that turned the
Animas River yellow.
EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy, on a
visit Wednesday to Durango, downstream
of the spill site, said she had ordered
agency personnel across the country to
cease field investigation work on abandoned mines while the spill was investigated. EPA officials said they were seeking
details on what the stop-work order means.
State attorneys general from Colorado,
New Mexico and Utah appeared separately
in Durango, pledging to make sure residents are compensated for damages from
the spill. But they said they would hold off
on legal action against the federal government to give the EPA a chance to prove it
will be accountable.
Also Wednesday, Colorado state health
officials informed residents in Durango

of 478 days less than

ruling.
Former Bush White
House officials who
Barack Obama helped develop the policy say it was never
intended that the final decision about a presidential permit would be delegated to a
Cabinet department. The revamped process
was intended to quicken permits for major
public works projects, those officials said.
Approving a pipeline permit was seen as
the most routine, boring thing in the
world, Robert McNally, who was an energy
adviser to Bush.
Republicans and energy advocates have
pressed Obama to approve the project,
which environmentalists say would promote dirty tar sands oil and risk spills.

The Animas River which flows through Santa Rita Park, usually bustling with river activities, is
left barren as it recovers from last week's Gold King Mine spill in Durango, Colo.
that they can resume using treatment facilities that draw water from the Animas.
Long before the accident, mines in the
Silverton area that were first developed in
the late 1800s had been releasing steady
streams of contaminated wastewater into
area creeks, leaving some of them virtually
lifeless. No fish swim where the runoff
from the Gold King mine flows into
Cement Creek and the upper reaches of the
Animas, which in turn feeds the San Juan
River.
One week after the spill, the EPA said

runoff had returned to its normal levels of
about 213 gallons per minute. Agency
cleanup crews hastily built a series of four
sedimentation ponds, bulldozing mounds
of earth and covering pits in plastic, to
clean the runoff from the mine before it
drains into the creek.
The agency said Wednesday that the
ponds were reducing acidity and dissolved
metals and that the runoff is now cleaner
than it was before the spill.
U.S. budget deficit swells

in July due to calendar quirk
the fact that Aug. 1 fell on a Saturday. As a

result, the government paid out $42 billion
in August benefits in late July instead.
Through the first 10 months of this budget year, the deficit stood at $465.5 billion,
1.1 percent higher than a year ago. The outlook for the full year looks more promising. The Congressional Budget Office estimates that the year-end total will drop to
around $425 billion, making it the lowest
deficit since 2007.
WASHINGTON The U.S. government

ran a much higher budget deficit in July than
a year ago, but its still on track for the lowest full-year deficit in eight years.
The Treasury Department said Wednesday
that the July deficit totaled $149.2 billion,

Email troubles persisting, Hillary

Clinton camp reassures backers
By Ken Thomas and Lisa Lerer
WASHINGTON Try as she

might to focus on the policies she
wants to enact if elected president,
Hillary Rodham Clinton just cant
dig out of her inbox.
Clintons email problems are
getting worse. She agreed to turn
over her private server to the
Justice Department this week on
the same day Congress got word
that at least two emails that traversed the device while she was
secretary of state contained information that warranted one of the
governments highest levels of
classification.
The developments suggest the
investigation into the security of
Clintons email setup could run
deep into 2016, as she is trying to
win the Democratic nomination
for president and, potentially, the
general election.
Clinton campaign aides argue
theres nothing for investigators
to find. What worries them more is
the lingering whiff of political
scandal in a tightening primary
race, and they pushed back hard on
Wednesday, trying their best to
dismiss the matter as nothing
more than politics.
Look, this kind of nonsense

Election Day, campaign communications
director
Jennifer
Palmieri wrote in an email to campaign supporters.
While her Democratic rivals
have yet to seize on the issue, it

has become a major part of the
GOP case against Clinton.
I think its about time that she
dealt with the consequences of
this, said GOP candidate and
Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker.
This is something that isnt just
a matter of her not being able to
tell the truth; this is something

that has put national security at
risk and highly questions her ability to be the commander in chief
of the United States.
Clintons campaign said she
would turn over the server just
hours after she wrapped up two
days of campaigning in New
Hampshire, where she outlined a

plan to address college affordability and student loan debt a centerpiece proposal of her policy
platform.
The announcement about her
email server, which got much
more attention than her college
affordability plan, marked a
retreat for Clinton. She had previously refused the request of a
House committee investigating
the 2012 attacks in Benghazi,
Libya, that the server be turned
over to a third-party arbiter.
Clintons attorney said then the
server had been wiped clean and no
emails remained on the device.
The reversal comes as her chief
Democratic rival, Vermont Sen.
Bernie Sanders, is drawing some
of the largest crowds of the presidential primaries. A self-described
democratic socialist, Sanders
has avoided addressing Clintons
email saga, keeping focused on
policy disagreements over the
economy, trade and the Keystone
XL pipeline.
From our perspective, we want
to keep this about Bernie and his
message, said Sanders campaign
strategist Tad Devine. He added,
If you look at the polling, people
are coming to the view that this is
not an inevitable nomination
anymore.
Jimmy Carter says he has cancer, revealed by recent surgery

By Kathleen Foody
ATLANTA Former President

Jimmy Carter revealed that recent
liver surgery found cancer has
spread in his body but gave few
details about his prognosis in a
brief
statement
released
Wednesday.
Recent liver surgery revealed
that I have cancer that now is in
other parts of my body, Carter
said in the statement released by
the Carter Center. I will be rearranging my schedule as necessary
so I can undergo treatment

by physicians
at
Emory
Healthcare.
The
statement
makes
clear
that
Carters cancer
widely
Jimmy Carter is
spread, but not
where it originated, or even if that
is known at this point. The liver
is often a place where cancer
spreads and less commonly is the
primary source of it. It said further
information will be provided

when more facts are known, possibly next week.
Carter, 90, announced on Aug. 3
that he had surgery to remove a
small mass from his liver.
Good wishes poured in on social
media after Carters announcement, while President Barack
Obama said he and first lady
Michelle Obama wish Carter a fast
and full recovery.
Jimmy, youre as resilient as
they come, and along with the
rest of America, we are rooting for
you, Obama said in a statement.
Carter was the nations 39th

president, defeating Gerald Ford
in 1976 with a pledge to always
be honest. A number of foreign
policy conflicts doomed his bid
for a second term, and Carter
lost to Ronald Reagan in a landslide.
After leaving the White House,
he founded the center in Atlanta in
1982 to promote health care,
democracy and other issues globally, often with wife Rosalynn by
his side, and won a Nobel Peace
Prize in 2002.
He has remained active in recent
years, making public appearances

at the centers headquarters in
Atlanta and traveling overseas,
including a May election observation visit to Guyana cut short
when Carter developed a bad cold.
Carter also completed a book
tour this summer to promote his
latest work, A Full Life.
Carter included his familys history of pancreatic cancer in that
memoir, writing that his father,
brother and two sisters all died of
the disease and said the trend

General: U.S. should consider

embedding troops with Iraqis
By Lolita C. Baldor
WASHINGTON If Iraqi forces

arent making good progress against
Islamic State militants in the next several months, the U.S. should consider
embedding American troops with the
Iraqis, the Armys retiring top general
said Wednesday.
Gen. Raymond Odierno, who retires
as Army chief of staff on Friday, said
the U.S. forces would not be directly
involved in the fight.
I believe that if we find in the next
several months that were not making
the progress that we have, we should
probably absolutely consider embedding some soldiers with them, and see
if that would make a difference,
Odierno told reporters. I think thats
an option we should present to the
president.
Speaking during his final Pentagon
press conference, Odierno hit a broad
range of topics, and spoke at length
about Iraq and his frustrations as a
commander who spent three long tours
there only to see the country plunge
again into chaos.
He discounted suggestions including by Republican presidential contender Donald Trump that the U.S.
should take more aggressive military
action in Iraq, saying the solution lies
with political and economic reforms.
He said the U. S.
could probably go
into
Iraq with
enough force to
defeat the Islamic
State, but the success would not last.
Wed probably
be right back where
we are today six
Raymond
months
later,
Odierno
Odierno said. I
absolutely believe that the region has
to solve this problem. The U.S. cannot solve this problem for the
region.
Odierno is stepping down and will
retire on Friday after 39 years in the
military and four years at the U.S.
Military Academy at West Point. His
service has been punctuated by three
tours in Iraq that included leading the
4th Infantry Division during the 2003
invasion and serving as the top military commander in the country from
2008-2010.
It is frustrating to look at what has
happened inside of Iraq, said Odierno,
recalling that in 2010 and 2011, the
U.S. thought we had it in a place that
was really headed in the right direction. He said violence was down, the
economy was growing and the political situation was stable.
As it turns out, they werent prepared to handle it, he said. The polit-
ical factions just simply werent able

to work together, and based on that,
people became frustrated. When people become frustrated, they tend to turn
to violence.
And that, he said, allowed Islamic
State militants to exploit the fissures
and find open territory in Syria to
begin to grow their forces and build
their capabilities.
He called the current situation a
stalemate, adding that while IS has
been blunted and has made little
progress since U.S. airstrikes began
about a year ago, the group has been
able to maintain its overall membership numbers through successful
recruiting. He said the U.S. continues
to work to help Iraq improve its military operations, and hinted that we are
probably getting ready to see one
here in a few days.
In other comments, he called Russia
the most dangerous military threat to
the U.S. right now, because Moscow is
more mature than many other U.S.
adversaries and has shown significant,
sophisticated capabilities in its invasion of Ukraine.
He said the Army has been working
to rebuild its ability to fight an adversary like Russia over the past 18
months, mainly training for hybrid
warfare, which includes a mix of conventional, counterinsurgency, cyber,
space and other military capabilities.
CAIRO A Croatian hostage abducted in Egypt by

Islamic State militants has been beheaded, according to a
gruesome image circulated Wednesday online a killing
that, if confirmed, would be the first of its kind involving a
foreign captive in the country, undermining government
efforts to project stability and buttress an economic turnaround.
The killing of the 30-year-old oil and gas sector surveyor
would deal a blow to President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissis
attempts to burnish the countrys reputation a week after he
unveiled a new extension of the Suez canal in a much-hyped
ceremony attended by international dignitaries.
It will also likely rattle companies with expatriate workers in Egypt and cast a cloud over hopes of boosting international investment and tourism following years of unrest
in the wake of Egypts Arab Spring uprising.
The still photo, circulated by IS supporters on social
media, appeared to show the body of Tomislav Salopek, a
married father of two, wearing a beige jumpsuit like the one
he wore in a previous video. A black flag used by the Islamic
State group and a knife were planted in the sand next to his
body.
A caption in Arabic said Salopek was killed for his countrys participation in the war against the Islamic State, and
came after a deadline had passed for Egypt to meet his captors demands to free jailed Islamist women.
The picture contained an inset of two Egyptian newspaper
reports, one declaring Croatias support for Egypts war
against terrorism and another noting Croatias backing of
the Kurds, who have been battling the IS group in Syria and
Iraq. Croatian troops fought in the U.S.-led coalition in Iraq
and still serve in the NATO-led force in Afghanistan.
In a televised address to the nation, Croatian Prime
Minister Zoran Milanovic said authorities there could not
confirm the killing with certainty.
We cannot 100 percent confirm it is true, but what we see
looks horrific. A confirmation may not come for several
days, he said, adding that the search for Salopek will continue as long as there is a glimmer of hope.
In remarks posted on the Egyptian Foreign Ministrys
Facebook page, Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry said
authorities were working to verify the authenticity of the
claim.
In Salopeks hometown, anguished residents refused to
believe the reports of his beheading.
No, no, no, Goran Blazanovic kept repeating as he sat
in a cafe in Vrpolje, Croatia, with other grim-looking
friends and family of the Croat captive, who kept searching
their smartphones for signs that would give them hope that
the reports were mistaken.
Nothing is proven, Blazanovic insisted. We hope that
he will come back home to his wife and children.
Al-Azhar, the Sunni Muslim worlds prestigious religious
institute, condemned the apparent killing, calling it a
demonic act of which all religions and human traditions
are innocent. The statement also said Islamic law stipulates that it is forbidden to shed the blood of foreigners.
Exiled members of the Muslim Brotherhood, which Egypt
brands a terrorist organization, said the beheading was a
sign the government had failed to curb the rise of extremism.
Concerns were also raised about the economic impact on
the country.
Its obviously bad for the perceptions foreign investors
have of Egypt, and I think its probably bad for the perceptions that potential tourists have, said Hani Sabra, Middle
East and North Africa head of the New York-based risk consultancy Eurasia Group.

Gunmen kill four police

in southern Pakistan
KARACHI, Pakistan Gunmen
killed four policemen Wednesday in
southern Pakistan, a day after the
army said it had arrested a senior
member of the Pakistani Taliban
and foiled a plot to attack
Independence Day celebrations
later this week.
The police were attacked as they
ate at a roadside restaurant in the
port city of Karachi, police officer
Naeem Sheikh said. Islamic militants and other armed groups have
carried out attacks in the past in
Karachi, a city of 20 million people
which is also Pakistans main business hub. No one claimed responsibility for Wednesdays attack.
The Muttahida Qaumi Party,
which has long dominated local
politics in Karachi, quit the national parliament Wednesday to protest
against a military crackdown in the
city, saying its members were
unfairly targeted.
Party chief Altaf Hussain said the
army should immediately stop its
discriminatory action against his
party workers. Hussain had harshly
criticized the military last month,
prompting the government to initiate criminal proceedings against
him and contact authorities in
London, where he lives in selfimposed exile.
US F-16 fighters fly

first missions from Turkey
WASHINGTON The U.S. on
Wednesday launched its first
airstrikes by Turkey-based F-16
fighter jets against Islamic State
targets in Syria, marking a limited
escalation of a yearlong air campaign that critics have called excessively cautious.
In a brief statement the Pentagon
Around the world

announced the F-16 strikes were
launched from Incirlik air base in
southern Turkey but provided no
details on the number or types of
targets struck.
A U.S. defense official said later
that two of the six F-16s based at
Incirlik flew the mission over Syria
to hit one or more targets that had
been selected in advance. The official spoke on condition of
anonymity to discuss details of the
mission.
Earlier this month the U.S. began
flying armed drones from Incirlik,
but the F-16 flights add a new
dimension to the air campaign, in
part because of the added risk to
pilots who might encounter Syrian
or other air defenses.

The Cuban government labels its
domestic opponents as traitorous
U.S. mercenaries. As the two countries have moved to restore relations, Cuba has almost entirely
stopped meeting with American
politicians who visit dissidents during trips to Havana.

DAMASCUS, Syria Irans foreign minister, who negotiated his

Syrias civil war with President
Bashar Assad in Damascus on

he discussed a four-point proposal
Iran wants to offer to the United

Nations as a way out of Syrias
grinding conflict.
That plan, according to a
Lebanese politician familiar with
the proposal, includes a cease-fire
and a power-sharing government
that would keep Assad in the picture, at least for now, pending
internationally supervised elections. The politician, who spoke
on condition of anonymity
because he was not authorized to
divulge details of the plan, said it
shows the Iranians were not
ready to withdraw their support
for Assad.
Syrian state-run TV quoted Zarif
as saying after talks with Assad

that their discussion focused on
ways of ending the Syrian crisis.
It is time for the other players
and our neighbors to take note of
reality, listen to the demands of
the Syrian people and work for
combatting extremism and terrorism, Zarif said, referring to Gulf
Arab countries that back Syrian
rebels.
According to Syrias state news
agency, SANA, Zarif stressed that
any solution for the crisis should
be far from any foreign intervention and in a way that preserves
the countrys territorial unity and
independence.

NEW YORK Another drop in

Chinas currency shook markets
around the world for a second straight
day amid rising concerns about the
worlds second-largest economy.
Major markets in Europe slumped,
while the U.S. stock market recovered
from an early drop to finish nearly flat.
Chinas central bank let its currency fall again on Wednesday, following a surprising devaluation the day
before. The move jolted markets in
Europe, home to big companies that
rely on Chinas growing middle class
to buy their products.
Major indexes in the U.S. started
the day with steep losses, as
investors sold shares in Tiffany,
YUM! Brands and other companies
with significant sales in China. By
the afternoon the worst of it was over,
and the broader market spent the rest
of the day climbing back to where it
started.
Clearly, emotions are running
high today, said Jack Ablin, chief
investment officer at BMO Private
Bank. Ablin said the markets sudden
turns reflect the uncertainty surrounding Chinas actions. Its really about
a fear of the unknown, he said.
The Standard & Poors 500 index
finished with a gain of 1.98 points,

or 0.1 percent, at 2,086.05.
The Dow Jones industrial average
lost 0. 33 of a point to close at
17,402.51, while the Nasdaq composite inched up 7.60 points, or 0.2 percent, to 5,044.39.
Chinas government said its moves
were attempts to make the countrys
exchange rate more responsive to the
market. But a weaker yuan also benefits China by making exports cheaper
to overseas customers. Many
investors considered the devaluation
a sign that Chinas economy is in
worse shape than official reports suggest.
Theres a lot of uncertainty right
now, said David Joy, chief market
strategist for Ameriprise Financial.
What does this tell us about how
weak their economy is? And is this
going to spread their weakness to
other countries?

income for Chinas top Internet
retailer more than doubled. Alibaba
dropped $3. 96, or 5. 1 percent, to

Macys reported a drop in quarterly
profits and sales on Wednesday as the
department-store chains results were

strong dollar. The company also cut
its sales forecast for the rest of the
year. Macys lost $3.42, or 5.1 percent, to $64.11.

As Chinese yuan falls more, some see little cause for alarm
By Paul Wiseman
WASHINGTON A free-falling Chinese

currency could make Chinas goods cheaper
for foreigners, squeeze Western companies,
discourage Chinese tourism, increase
Chinas exports and complicate the Federal
Reserves decision on whether to raise
American interest rates.
If the yuan keeps falling, that is.
The Chinese currency sank again
Wednesday, a day after Beijing engineered
the biggest one-day decline in the yuan in a
decade.
Behind the yuans fall is a worrisome
backdrop: The Chinese economy is decelerating. Growth for 2015 is expected to be the
slowest since 1990. Fearful Chinese
Cisco rises aftermarket

as 4Q results top estimates
SAN JOSE Cisco Systems posted solid
fiscal fourth-quarter results Wednesday, sending the computer networking gear makers
shares higher in aftermarket trading.
Cisco said revenue from its collaboration
and data center businesses improved. The
seller of routers, switches, software and
services said its selling more subscriptionbased and software products. The San Josebased companys net income and revenue
both surpassed analyst estimates.

investors are moving money abroad, thereby depressing the yuan. By devaluing its
currency, Beijing was in some ways merely
catching up with the markets sentiment.
Though some economists fear Beijings
move may trigger an uncontrollable fall in
the yuan one that could destabilize the
global economy others see little need to
worry: They note that Beijing could tap
nearly $3.7 trillion in foreign reserves to
stop a free-fall if it felt the need to do so.
Few doubt that China would intervene if
necessary.
Still, the drop in the yuan along with
growing evidence that Chinas economy is
weakening is shaking up global markets. What happens in China, the worlds
second-largest economy, inevitably reverberates around the world.

Travelers dream of the perfect trick to find

There are theories, some of them backed
up by real number-crunching shop on a
Tuesday, 57 days before your flight. But
using a tidy formula to find the cheapest fare
may be as futile as trying to time the stock
market.
There isnt a golden rule anymore, says
Patrick Scurry, chief data scientist for
Hopper, a travel-information firm that
archives ticket prices.
What devaluation means globally

WESTERN COMPANIES
Stock investors have been punishing the shares of
companies that do big business in China. A cheaper yuan,
after all, drives up the price of foreign goods in China. It hurts
earnings, too: The revenue that foreign companies collect
in yuan from China sales are worth less when converted
back into their home currencies.
Shares in Yum! Brands Inc., for instance, have sunk nearly 9
percent the past two days, The parent company of KFC and
Pizza Hut, it has 6,800 restaurants in China and plans least
700 more this year.
Still, investors may be overreacting to a short-term currency
move. Or they may be worried about something deeper:
That the sudden devaluation reveals how frightened Chinese
officials are about the health of their economy.
Its not about a minor devaluation, says Greg McBride, chief
financial analyst at Bankrate.com. Instead, Its all about yet
another move of desperation to juice the Chinese economy.
In Germany, economists are mainly shrugging off the likely
impact on local exporters. That countrys makers of autos
and industrial machinery, which depend on Chins market,
are unlikely to be hurt much by the yuans drop.
A bigger threat is the fundamental fact that Chinas economy
is weakening. Thats why Daimler, BMW and Volkswagen
have seen profits in China slip. They have partly established
their production in China, which makes the currency swings
less relevant.
Smaller German makers of industrial machinery tend to
focus on more sophisticated goods and so dont compete
head to head with Chinese manufacturers at the lower end
of the market.
LUXURY GOODS
Newly wealthy Chinese shoppers have been enthusiastic
buyers of luxury goods designer bags, jewelry, clothing.
But the economic slowdown is taking a toll.
Even before China devalued its currency, the Chinese luxury
market was retreating. The Bain & Co. consultancy predicted
this spring that Chinas luxury sales would drop 4 percent this
year.
The devaluation of the yuan is even more startling, said
Faith Hope Consolo, chairman of the retail group at Douglas
Elliman Real Estate, which works with luxury retailers.I think
all the luxury brands will feel the effect but especially Coach,
for which China was a critical market.

Higher-end luxury retailers, such as Chanel and Louis Vuitton,
may prove more resilient, Consolo says.
Luxury sales have already been hurt by Chinas anticorruption campaign. The drive against corruption has made
Chinese less likely to buy expensive gifts for influential
officials or draw attention to themselves by splurging on
luxuries.
TOURISM
Chinas economic rise has lifted global tourism. Chinese
tourists spend more than travelers from anywhere else
$129 billion in 2013 alone, according to the United Nations.
And they zero in on high-end shops, spending three times
as much on luxury goods outside China than they do at
home, Bain reports.
The yuans drop makes it costlier for Chinese to go abroad.
Its unclear whether the currencys fall will crimp their
spending, says Frangois Navarro of the Paris Region Tourist
Board. Still, he worries that when the yuan is weak, its a bad
thing for tourist professionals like (retailers), restaurants or
hotels.
Luca Solca, lead luxury goods analyst at BNP Paribas, says
Chinese consumers will now have less incentive to travel to
Europe on luxury goods shopping sprees.
THE FEDERAL RESERVE

The Federal Reserve has been weighing whether to raise
record-low short-term U.S. interest rates as the American
economy strengthens. But a cheaper yen potentially restrains
U.S. growth by pinching exports and depressing U.S.
inflation, which is already running below the Feds 2 percent
target. Most economists expect the Fed to raise the shortterm rate it controls stuck near zero since 2008 at its
September meeting. Will the yuans drop cause Fed
policymakers to reconsider?
Probably not, economists say.
The U.S. economy grew at a steady 2.3 percent annual rate
from April through June, and U.S. unemployment has
reached a seven-year low 5.3 percent. The yuans tumble is
not a game changer for the Fed, said Sara Johnson, IHS
Economics senior research director for global economics.
We expect they will proceed with a rate increase at the
September meeting.

Iwakuma no-hits Orioles
Cooper downplays his NFL preseason debut

By Josh Dubow
NAPA Amari Cooper is willing to let

other people get excited about his exhibition debut for the Oakland Raiders.
For the rookie receiver, Friday nights
game against the St. Louis Rams is just
another step in his transition from top college wideout to NFL player.
Ive always been all business like, he
said Wednesday. I just want to go out there
and play an excellent game. There might be
some mistakes but Ill

deal with them then.
The anticipation for
Cooper has been palpable ever since the
Raiders selected him
fourth overall in the NFL
draft back in April. The
former Alabama star is
Amari Cooper being counted on to
give the Raiders the
game-breaking receiver they have lacked
for the past decade.
Cooper has lived up to his lofty billing as
one of the most pro-ready receivers to come

out of college in years with his play on the
practice field. Now the Raiders get to see it
in games.
The guy gets better at something every
day, quarterback Derek Carr said. Theres
so much in the NFL that goes on at the line
of scrimmage compared to college when
youre just running by guys. Hes gotten so
much better and had so much growth in that
area. Hes doing great things whether its at
the top of his route like he did today on a
third down. Whatever it is, theres little
things hes getting better at.
The additions of Cooper and fellow

receiver Michael Crabtree were the biggest
offseason moves made on the offensive side
of the ball as the Raiders look to improve
on a three-win season and end a playoff
drought that started in the 2003 season.
Oakland has been without a big-play wide
receiver for most of those lost seasons. The
Raiders havent had any receiver reach the
1, 000-yard mark since Randy Moss in
2005, tied with Jacksonville for the longest
current drought in the league.

ts going to be all hands on deck for

the San Francisco Giants as the season comes down the stretch as serious, significant injuries are taking their
toll.
In fact, they may have to do something
that might give some fans nightmares.
The Giants currently have two starting
position players (center fielder Angel
Pagan and second
baseman Joe Panik)
already on the disabled list, with outfielder Nori Aoki
now staring at a possible trip to the DL
after he was affected
in Wednesdays game
by concussion
symptoms initially
incurred in Chicago.
In addition, pitcher Mike Leake
tweaked his hamstring and has also been
out of action for a couple of weeks
although he is expected to be back next
week. Then, of course, there is the continued struggles of Matt Cain, whether
Tim Lincecum will ever pitch for the team
again and if Tim Hudsons career is finally over.
All of which leads to Philadelphia second baseman Chase Utley, who the
Giants have been rumored to be scouting.
At first glance, the move makes no
sense. First and foremost, Utley is having a horrible year at the plate. Secondly,
hes an everyday player. Where will he
play once Panik comes back?
And therein lies the rub: sounds like
Paniks back might be worse than what
was originally reported. Right now, there
is no guarantee Panik comes back as the
one of the leagues best hitters.
Heres the good news, though.
Bringing in Utley would give the Giants
and automatic jolt of veteran leadership.
Utleys won a championship. Hes been

campaigns.

Judge puts NFL on hot seat in Brady case

NEW YORK A federal judge put the NFL

on the defensive over its four-game suspension of New England Patriots quarterback
Tom Brady on Wednesday, demanding to
know what evidence directly links Brady to
deflating footballs and belittling the drama of
the controversy.
What is the direct evidence that implicates
Mr. Brady? Judge Richard M. Berman repeatedly asked NFL lawyer Daniel L. Nash at the
first hearing in the civil case in Manhattan
federal court as Brady and Commissioner
Roger Goodell looked on.
Nash responded there was considerable
evidence Mr. Brady clearly knew about this,
including records of text messages and phone
calls between the quarterback and one of two
Patriots employees implicated in the scandal
known as Deflategate.
But he also said there was no smoking
gun showing Brady had direct knowledge
that the balls were underinflated for the first
half of the Patriots 45-7 win over the
Indianapolis Colts in the AFC championship
game Jan. 18.
Brady and Goodell didnt speak during the
hearing, except to introduce themselves to
Berman. Brady, his head lowered, looked dour
as lawyers spoke for about 1 hour, 20 minutes.
Immediately afterward, Brady smiled
slightly as he signed sketches for two court
artists. Berman then met individually with
each side for more settlement discussions in
private.
The talks continued more than four hours
until about 5 p.m. Afterward, a smiling Brady
left the courthouse. Several people shouted
cheater, cheater!
Berman could be seen briefly speaking
with Goodell inside the courthouse before the
commissioner left to a waiting sports utility
vehicle about 10 minutes after Brady. Goodell
smiled as dozens of photo and video journal-
Court sketches cause

gaunt sketches of Tom Brady at the first
Deflategate civil suit hearing in
Manhattan federal court led to a Twitter flurry says its her job to show whats going
on.
Jane Rosenbergs drawings of the New
England Patriots quarterback Wednesday
were compared with everything from
Lurch in The Addams Family to the figure in Edvard Munchs The Scream.
Rosenberg told the Boston Herald: I
dont try to be different, I try to draw what I
see.
She told The Boston Globe: I dont tend
to flatter people and make them look beauREUTERS

Rosenberg, who has covered many high wasnt one of the artists who asked Brady to
profile court sessions, told the Herald she autograph their sketches Wednesday.
ists did their work. Neither of them spoke and
there was no immediate word on the status of
talks.
Two weeks ago, the NFL asked Berman to
declare that its punishment of Brady was
properly carried out. The players union countersued, asking him to nullify the suspension. The judge has signaled from the start
that he wants the parties to reach a swift settlement.
On Wednesday, Berman called it ironic or
not that Bradys statistics were better in the
second half of the AFC championship game,

after the balls were re-inflated.
You might say (Brady) got no better
advantage from the under-inflation, the
judge said.
At one point, the judge also seemed to try
to defuse the controversy, saying: This
Deflategate. Im not sure where the gate
comes from.
When the union got its chance to argue, the
judge asked attorney Jeffrey L. Kessler why
one of the Patriots employees would deflate
balls without Bradys knowledge. Kessler

said the union does not believe the balls were
deflated but, if they were, the employee did it
on his own because he thought it would be
good for his quarterback.
The judge also questioned why Brady
destroyed his cellphone in the midst of the
inquiry a move that the league argues was
further proof of his deception. Kessler
claimed that the quarterback got rid of the
phone on the advice of his agent to protect
his privacy but had otherwise cooperated with
the inquiry.
However, in hindsight, Youre right, it
could have been done a different way, the
lawyer said of the phone.
Both sides are scheduled to return to court
next week.
In an email after everyone left court,
Kessler said: Sorry, not commenting.
Lawyers for the NFL did not immediately
respond to requests for comment.
Goodell suspended Brady after concluding
he knew about, approved of, consented to,
and provided inducements and rewards to
support a scheme in which a Patriots employee deflated balls on game day. Brady insists
he knew nothing about it.
In a July 28 decision upholding the suspension, Goodell heavily criticized Brady for
having an aide destroy a cellphone containing nearly 10,000 text messages from a fourmonth stretch including the AFC championship game. He accused him of obstructing
the NFL probe about a controversy that represented conduct detrimental to the integrity
of, and public confidence in, the game of professional football.
In court documents, the unions lawyers
said the suspension was unfair and violated
the labor contract and complained that it
would cause irreparable harm to Brady by
forcing him to miss games.
They called a June appeal hearing before
Goodell a kangaroo court proceeding, bereft
of fundamentally fair procedures.
USOC optimistic PGA Championship: the battle at the top

L.A. will bid for
the 2024 Olympics
By Doug Ferguson
By Eddie Pells
If the United States is going to bid

for the 2024 Olympics, that bid will
come from Los Angeles.
After a hastily called board meeting Wednesday, U.S. Olympic
Committee CEO Scott Blackmun
said he was optimistic the USOC
could work out a plan to make Los
Angeles the bidder. He said he hoped
the decision would be ofcial by the
end of the month.
The news comes two weeks after
the USOC dropped a Boston bid that
was short on support. Los Angeles
isnt showing any of those problems. Mayor Eric Garcetti has said
hed have no problem signing the
host city contract that the mayor in
Boston said he had no intention to
sign.
In a statement Wednesday, Garcetti
said the city has had very positive
discussions with the USOC over the
past week.
The L.A. Olympics would inspire
the world and are right for our city,he
said.
Earlier this week, city ofcials said
the proposed budget for the Summer
Games would be $4.1 billion, plus a
$400 million contingency.
Blackmun revealed results of an
internal poll out of the L.A. area from
earlier this month that showed 81
percent support for hosting the
Olympics. Boston was in the 40s.
Thats remarkable and very
encouraging, Blackmun said.
The centerpiece of an L.A.

Olympics would be the Memorial
Coliseum, which was also used in the
citys last two Olympics in 1932
and 1984. USOC chairman Larry
Probst suggested the positive feelings from the successful 84 Games
still resonate in Southern California.
People remember that time, he
said. It left a great legacy for the
city.
Probst and Blackmun declined to
get into details about what issues
might hold up a bid from Los
Angeles, though they believe the
mayor will honor his commitment to
sign the host-city contract. That
issue became a major sticking point
as the Boston bid disintegrated, as
the mayor said he didnt want to put
taxpayers on the hook for any potential cost overruns.
Los Angeles would join Rome,
Paris, Budapest and Hamburg,
Germany in the contest. The winner
will be decided in 2017.
The U.S. hasnt hosted a Summer
Olympics since 1996 in Atlanta. At
meetings earlier this month, IOC
president Thomas Bach said he was
expecting the United States to bid.
And if it didnt?
I think it would be a lost opportunity, Blackmun said. On the summer side, theres a whole generation
of American who havent seen the
games on American soil. We want to
address that, and make sure the games
come to the U.S. on a regular basis.
SHEBOYGAN, Wis. Rory

McIlroy faces a different set of questions from the last time he played,
and he had answers for most of
them.
His left ankle, with swelling the
size of a tennis ball after he heard it
snap while playing soccer with
friends in early July, felt fine when
he got off the plane and began
preparing for the final major of the
year. His game is good, and he sees
no one reason why that will change
when the PGA Championship starts
Thursday. One other question was a
little more tricky.
Whos the best player in the
world?
McIlroy is No. 1 in the world
ranking. He also has watched Jordan
Spieth produce an inspiring year in
golf by winning the Masters and
U.S. Open, and then coming within
one shot of a playoff at the British
Open. Spieth has four wins this
year, one more than McIlroy,
though two of them are majors.
If you were to go by this year,
you would have to say Jordan,
McIlroy said. If you go over the
last two years, I would say its probably a toss-up between Jordan and
myself. Thats a hard one. OK,
weve got the rankings there, but
its all a matter of opinion.
And what was his opinion?
Ill tell you at the end of the
week, McIlroy said with a smile.
The shine came off golf when
Spieths bid for the Grand Slam
ended at St. Andrews. It returned
when McIlroy began posting photos and videos last week that indicated he would be playing at
Whistling Straits, his first tourna-
ment since the

U.S. Open.
They face off
Thursday afternoon, in the
same group with
British
Open
champion Zach
Johnson. It will
Rory McIlroy be the third time
in the last eight
majors
that
McIlroy
and
Spieth
have
played together
the opening two
rounds.
It has never
received attention like this.
I think thats
Jordan Spieth
just what you
guys want to see, Spieth said. I
think he and I just want to go out
there and try and win the tournament. We have to beat each other in
order to do that, along with ... 155
other guys. Its great. Were all very
happy to see him back. Im excited
to just share a couple days with
Rory, and Zach as well.
Hopefully, we can all get into
contention, and it will certainly be
exciting.
McIlroy, the defending champion, said he never targeted the PGA
Championship as his return. His
test came in Portugal last week when
he played and walked 72
holes. There was no pain, no
swelling. And he knew he was ready.
If I hadnt passed that test, I
wouldnt have been here, he said.
For all the attention Spieth has
earned with his four victories (along
with playoff losses at the Colonial
and Houston Open), McIlroy hasnt
been a mere spectator to this sensa-
tional season. He has three victories, one of them a World Golf

Championship, and he had top 10s
in both majors he played.
Still, there is a degree of uncertainty about his game. It will have
been 53 days without competition
when McIlroy tees it up Thursday.
Expectation levels are the
same, McIlroy said. I have played
quite a number of rounds of golf.
Ive been practicing for over three
weeks getting my game ready, getting my game sharp. I feel like Im
playing well, hitting it well on the
range. Ive taken that onto the
course in practice rounds and from
there, its being able to take it into
tournament play with a card in my
hand.
Expectations havent changed for
Spieth, either. For a guy who just
turned 22, he is regarded as a greater
thinker.
At Chambers Bay, Spieth would
find the worst part of the putting
green to rap 6-footers before the
weekend rounds to prepare him for
some bad bounces. During his final
nine holes of practice Wednesday,
he was tossing balls in some quirky
spots around the green, even down
on the sandy bank of Lake
Michigan.
He wants no surprises. He is prepared for a tough test.
And he has the same attitude he
had going into the British Open.
This isnt a chance to make history.
Its a chance to win a major.
At stake for Spieth is an opportunity to be the first player to sweep
the three American majors in the
same season. A victory would make
him No. 1 in the world (provided
McIlroy doesnt finish second) and
make him the first $11 million man
on the PGA Tour.

the Bills claimed Enemkpali off waivers a day
after he punched Smith and was released by the
Jets.
I think its clear it was a mistake. Nothing
justifies hitting somebody and all that stuff.
And Im not trying to say that it wasnt a mistake, Ryan said before the Bills opened an
evening practice. But I also believe that hes
going to learn from this. And well give him a
chance to compete.
Man gets 5 years for using

golfer Allenbys credit cards, ID
HONOLULU A Hawaii man has been sentenced to five years in prison for using Robert
Allenbys credit cards after the professional
golfer said he was robbed and beaten in
Honolulu.
According to the Honolulu prosecutors
office, Owen Harbison was sentenced
Wednesday.
He was arrested in February on identity theft
and other charges. He pleaded guilty in June to
using Allenbys credit cards and ID to make
purchases, including gift cards, jewelry and
clothing.
Allenby recounted a bizarre saga earlier this
year of having no memory of what happened
for 2 1/2 hours after he left a Honolulu restaurant in January. He had missed the cut at the
Sony Open and went to dinner. He said he later
woke up in a park with a bloodied face.
Michael Andretti denies

IndyCar team in financial trouble
INDIANAPOLIS Michael Andretti said
Wednesday that allegations his IndyCar
team is in financial trouble are unfounded.
The statement came less than 24 hours
after a lawsuit, filed July 30 in Indianapolis,
was made public.
Two minority owners of Andretti Sports
Marketing claim Andretti Autosport
attempted to cover its debts by using some
revenue from ASM and borrowing money.
According to the lawsuit, ASM believes
Andretti Autosport has less than $2 million
in unencumbered assets and at least $7 million in debt plus additional liabilities
that may exceed $10 million.

Seattles Iwakuma tosses no-no

By Tim Booth
SEATTLE Hisashi Iwakuma became the

second Japanese-born pitcher in major
league history to throw a no-hitter, leading
the Seattle Mariners to a 3-0 victory over
the Baltimore Orioles on Wednesday.
The right-hander struck out seven and
walked three in the fourth no-hitter this season and first by an American League pitcher
in nearly three years. Hideo Nomo threw big
league two no-nos after starting his career
in his home country of Japan.
I was aware of it obviously, but I felt it
real deep in my heart in the ninth inning,
Iwakuma said through a translator. Just
focusing on one hitter at a time and Im glad
I got it done.
Philadelphias Cole Hamels prior to
his trade to Texas Washingtons Max
Scherzer and San Franciscos Chris Heston
all tossed no-hitters this season.
Third baseman Kyle Seager made a nifty,
twisting over-the-shoulder catch in foul territory to start the ninth, but the 34-year-old
Iwakuma needed little help in completing
his first career complete game and the
Mariners fifth no-hitter.
Teammate Felix Hernandezs perfect game
against the Tampa Bay Rays on Aug. 15,
2012, was the last time an AL pitcher did
not allow a hit in a game. There have been
11 individual no-hitters and one combined
no-hitter by NL pitchers since then.
With Mariners fans on their feet and
cheering, Iwakuma got Gerardo Parra to line
out softly to center fielder Austin Jackson
for the first no-hitter against Baltimore
JOE NICHOLSON/USA TODAY SPORTS
Seattles Hisashi Iwakuma faced just two over

the minimum in Wednesdays 3-0 win over
the Orioles to record the fifth no-hitter in
Seattle Mariners franchise history.
since Bostons Clay Buchholz did it in
2007. Baltimore has been no-hit seven
times.
After his 116th pitch settled in Jacksons
glove, Iwakuma was mobbed by his teammates. Hernandez was wearing a fuzzy bear
hat that was handed out as a promotion ear-

The only time it appeared the Orioles
might get a hit came in the fourth inning.
Manny Machado walked to lead off and Parra
chopped a grounder in the hole between first
baseman Mark Trumbo and second baseman
Robinson Cano. Quickly moving to his
left, Cano tracked down the grounder in
shallow right field and threw across his
body to get Parra at first.

By Ian Harrison
TORONTO Aaron Brooks might want

to check with customs before his next start
in Toronto. Whatever the reason, he seems
to have a tough time bringing his best stuff
across the border.
Brooks was roughed up by the Blue Jays
for the second time in his short career as
Toronto won its 10th straight game
Wednesday, beating the Oakland As 10-3.
Brooks (1-1) had allowed just two earned
runs in his previous two starts with the
Athletics but was undone by bad location
against the surging Blue Jays.
A lot of balls in the middle of the plate,
Oakland manager Bob Melvin said. Youve
got a pretty hot-hitting team and when you
miss in the middle of the plate, you end up
paying.
In his first big league start, Brooks
allowed seven runs and didnt get out of the
opening inning while pitching for Kansas
City in 2014. This time, the right-hander

After being hampered by injuries

the past two seasons in San
Francisco, Crabtree was forced to
sign a one-year, prove-it deal in free
agency that only guaranteed him
$1.3 million. But he has shown
signs in practice of being the player
who topped 1,100 yards receiving
back in 2012 when the 49ers made it
to the Super Bowl.

After leading the nation with 124
catches last season in the tough SEC
and ranking second with 1,727 yards
receiving and 16 touchdown catches,
Cooper is expected to end that
drought eventually. But he knows
there will be an adjustment in the pro
game.
Its a bit harder with the fact that
guys are better on the defensive side
of the ball, Cooper said. Theyre
smarter. Youre not going to keep
beating them the same way so you
have to bring it every day and use
some moves you probably havent
used before.
Despite a few slipups, Cooper has
still managed to impress his new
teammates with his polish and dedication.

Daily Journal reporter Terry
Bernal who is the biggest

been seeing time at first base this
season. So even if Panik did come
back healthy, the Giants could
slide Utley to first and send
Brandon Belt to left field to take
over Aokis spot.
Not the ideal lineup, but it could
be enough to keep the Giants in
playoff contention until the end
of the season.

The pits (and more): Recycle kitchen scraps into plants

By Dean Fosdick
Garbage gardening is an easy and inexpensive way to grow flowers and edibles
using kitchen scraps the pits, seeds and
roots that otherwise would be headed to a
landfill. Its a fun way to recycle.
Educational for the kids, too.
Almost every unprocessed fruit or vegetable can be grown into a decorative houseplant, said Deborah Peterson, co-author of
Dont Throw It, Grow It (Storey
Publishing, 2008).
Some are perennials, others are annuals
or biennials, Peterson said. You will be
amazed as you discover how these beautiful
plants can develop.
Chickpeas, for instance, can be coaxed to
flower in hanging baskets, and beets can be
transformed into showy dish gardens with
their colorful purple and green foliage surrounding contrasting blooms.
Start new plants on the windowsill by
using the byproducts from roots, nuts,

bulbs, seeds or cuttings. The garbage, if you will.
garbage, if you will.
Water, pebbles, soil or peat can be used as
a growing medium.
Every plant you grow should go outside
for five months or so, depending upon
where you live, said Peterson, from
Scituate, Massachusetts. Winter becomes a
holding pattern (for perennials), just keeping them alive. But once theyre out again,
in summer, theyre wonderful.
Marianne Ophardt, Washington State
University Extensions Benton County
director, added, Garbage gardening is done
more to teach children about plants than it
is to create new gardens.
Most of your kitchen scraps will be
thrown away, but some can be used to provide a unique learning opportunity, she
said.
Children often want instant gratification,
so keep things simple. Choose quicksprouting plants like potatoes, beans, carrots, melons and radishes. Pineapples
wouldnt be a good idea, Peterson said; it
takes pineapples two or more years to fully
mature and produce flower stalks.
Beware trying to grow plants from
imported fruit or vegetables, like the
papaya, kiwi or pomegranate commonly
found in grocery stores during the winter,
Peterson said. Study labels for the fruit origin. Many have been irradiated, making
them sterile, meaning they wont sprout.
I love mangos and every year try to get
one to grow, but they just dont, Peterson
said.
Also, avoid hybrid fruit and vegetables
because their seeds wont deliver the same
taste.
Choose self-pollinating produce, like
tomatoes, Ophardt said. You can save those
seeds and get the taste you want.
Citrus seeds are capable of becoming
flourishing houseplants because they tolerate home temperatures and dry, indoor air.
But under most home conditions, citrus
plants started from seed will not flower or
bear fruit, according to a University of New
Hampshire Cooperative Extension fact
sheet.
Indoor citrus plants seen with flowers
and or fruit are special miniature varieties,
it said. Plants grown from standard eating
varieties will make decorative foliage specimens and attractive floor plants.
Some recycled remnants can do double
duty as ornamental and edible. Take sweet
potatoes, for instance.

Ten simple tips to

make sharing a
bathroom easier
By Katherine Roth
During the morning rush before

school or work, the bathroom can
easily become a crowded war zone
cluttered with toothbrushes and
hair products.
But sharing even a tiny bathroom doesnt have to be an ordeal.
So jostling roommates and family members, take heart: Here are
10 ways to make bathroom coexistence easier, from bigger investments like double sinks and updated showers to easy tricks and
affordable gadgets that maximize
space and minimize clutter.
LOOK HIGH AND LOW

FOR STORAGE SPACE
The main thing is take a fresh
look at your space and make use of
unutilized areas, said Betsy
Goldberg, home director at Real
Simple magazine. An under-thesink expandable organizer (like
one at The Container Store) fits
around the drainpipe to make the
most of an often forgotten space,
she said. An inconspicuous shelf
(Ikea) can also be hung above the
doorway. Stashing things out of
the way creates more elbow room
around the mirror and sink.
MAKE CABINETS DO MORE

Keep smaller items in order with
the right wall cabinets and organizing tools. Goldberg recommends MagnaPods (The Container
Store), which fit easily on the
inside of cabinet doors to hold
makeup tubes and brushes upright
and out of sight. And dont forget
that medicine-cabinet shelves are
adjustable. People usually keep
the shelves wherever they are, but
just adjusting the shelves can
help make cabinets much more
efficient, she said. Acrylic display boxes (Nile Corp.) also help
maximize space.
OUST THE EXTRANEOUS

If youre going to share a bathroom, its important to move all
non-essentials out. Toilet paper
can go in a trunk in the hallway
outside the bathroom or on a shelf
installed above the bathroom
door, Goldberg said. Towels can
be rolled and put in neutral straw
baskets in a narrow console in the
hallway. The bathroom is prime
real estate, and hampers are so
bulky they would be better off in
bedroom closets or the hall.
BE SAVVY ABOUT SORTING

If you can, give each person a
drawer of their own, Goldberg
said. But when keeping things in
a shared medicine cabinet, its
easiest to store things if you keep

able at many hardware stores and

other retailers.
CLEAR THE COUNTERS
CONSIDER THE KIDS
For hair dryers and other

styling tools, the Blow Away
Vanity
Organizer
(OrganizeIt. com), keeps things
up and out of the way. Essentials

If kids are sharing a bathroom

with adults, they might do better
with low hooks than towel bars;
that way, they can put things back
themselves, said Cheryl Dixon,

REMODEL, SEE DOUBLE
Double sinks are the most
important features in shared bathrooms, said Goldberg.
And showers can be customized
to each persons height and spray
preferences, Dixon said. Do you

Right at Home: New decor with a lighter, airier look

By Kim Cook
Theres been a subtle shift in contemporary

decor; it started to emerge at this years furniture and design shows, and continues to gain
ground in retailers fall and winter collections.
Its a shift of light, in color and design.
Hues are soft yet grown-up snow, fog,
lavender, blush. And after years of dark wenge
wood and stolid furniture, were seeing elements with a lighter footprint. Blond woods
like maple, ash and birch. Whitewashed oak
and pine.
Legs are more tapered, profiles more attenuated. There are more reflective surfaces metals with patinas; mirror finishes; and transparent or opaque acrylics.
Much of it has a Nordic vibe, what some in
international design are calling The New
Scandi.
You can opt for a soft, casual approach with
weathered woods and creamy linens, or a more
dressed-up version with crisply tailored
whites and burnished metals.
White walls are one easy way to get started. Farrow & Balls creative head, Charlotte
TIPS
want a hand shower or head shower?
Choosing one with different spray settings
helps a lot and makes sharing a shower
much easier, she said. Digital-technology
faucets remember user settings for each persons preferred water temperature and flow.
Dixon noted that her companys Retrofit

Light, reclaimed teak and a lacy rope seat
make the Bentley armchair a contemporary
standout at AllModern. A delicate starburst
mirror from Ashton Sutton would add wall
interest with a midcentury-modern vibe. A set
of white lacquered storage boxes could hold
tech gadgets, toiletries, jewelry or keys.

Lucites a wonderful material for introducing
the illusion of airiness into a room; there are
several pieces in Wisterias Disappearing furniture collection. (www.wisteria.com)
Z Galleries got some fun, faux-fur slipper
chairs on acrylic legs, with matching
ottomans. Armless slipper chairs provide
seating with a slimmer silhouette. (www.zgallerie.com)
Cosby, notes how effective whites and pale

hues can be together. Light neutrals create
an illusion of a larger space and can act as a
canvas, emphasizing artwork and statement
accessories, she says. Try layering
whites to create a softness and depth to
rooms.
Jackie Jordan, marketing director at paint
manufacturer Sherwin-Williams, sees a shift
to soft, monochromatic palettes with creamy
whites, warm grays, khaki hues and grayed
blush tones.
The serenity of these colors provides a
sense of calm to balance hectic lifestyles,
she says. They celebrate natural materials as
well as honed, soft and sheer finishes. These
colors lend themselves well to both luxurious
spaces and casual retreats.
As to furnishings, Kimberly Winthrop,
designer for online interior-design market-
place Laurel & Wolf, says, Bright, clean

palettes give Scandinavian Design a minimal

She says the look can work especially well
for work spaces, where lighter hues and minimal decor can help focus the mind.
Dont go overboard, however. Youre after
rooms that look attractive, interesting and
livable. Rooms dressed top to bottom in unrelieved white or one neutral hue may look stark

and artwork keeps the spaces comfortable.

GRANT
years of erosion by restoring the heavily compromised creek and floodplain.
The approximately $1.5 million
project will raise the elevation of the
creek bed allowing it to reconnect to its
historic 115-acre floodplain along a
mile of Butano Creek at the very southwest end of San Mateo County. Nearly
seven-eighths of the creeks original
floodplain has been lost with it now
carrying 2.5 times more sediment that
consequentially leads to further erosion, according to the conservation
district.
The sediment buildup paired with
storm events can prove problematic for
the small town as it can flood Pescadero
Creek Road the main route into the
secluded community and where the
towns only fire station is located.
From a neighboring student who uses
a canoe to traverse the main thoroughfare that floods during mild rains to a
slew of species depending on the
creeks habitat, this project will have
significant impacts, said conservation
district Executive Director Kellyx
Nelson.
This project is going to benefit
threatened and endangered species, biological diversity and flooding. This
project is good for people and for
wildlife, Nelson said. If you went
back into Butano Creek, you would
never believe that youre in the greater
San Francisco Bay Area, just a hop and
TINY
with recycled material.
Theyve been living in the backyard
of a friend in Redwood City but must
move by the end of the year. They want
to stay in San Mateo County but dont
know yet quite where they will land.
In the meantime, theyve learned to
navigate around each other in their tiny
home, its 137 square feet, and have
even found ways to give each other privacy.
Its like marriage boot camp, Castle
said. Everyone should be required to
live in a tiny house before getting married. Divorce rates are guaranteed to
drop.
They sleep in a loft and have plenty of
storage although they are always looking to make do with less.
The house is small though so the dishes after dinner can look like a massive
pile compared to being in a regular-sized
kitchen, Anderson said. The laundry pile
can also look pretty big, she said.
Theres room enough for their two
cats, too.
For them, the tiny house represents
the best way to live affordably in a county where rents
for a one-bedroom apartment
have climbed more than 50
percent in the past four years
to $2,516 a month, according
to the countys Housing
Authority.
In a white paper published
earlier this year, housing officials recommended that the
Board of Supervisors consider
tiny houses as a way to solve
the housing crisis.
Its starting to become a
housing trend and the couple
communicate with individuals all over the country who
have adopted the lifestyle.
They blog about their experience regularly and have
started to be contacted by
others who want to see just
how tiny their home is and
whether it would work for
them. They are meeting soon
with the San Carlos yoga
instructor, Yiwen Chang, who
the Daily Journal profiled in
April. She too craves a sim-
27
a skip away from Silicon Valley. Its so

pristine, so remote, so beautiful and
home to a number of endangered
species.
Steelhead trout, Coho salmon, the
San Francisco garter snake and the
California red-legged frog could have
vital habitat restored because of the
project, according to the conservation
district. Restoring the floodplain by
raising the creek bed will reduce a primary source of sediment by providing
space for it to drop out before heading
downstream where it often accumulates
at Pescadero Creek Road and Pescadero
Marsh.
The project was one of 13 that
received a hefty portion of the nearly
$8.2 fund allocated this year to communities efforts to reduce flooding and
erosion as well as enhance and protect
ecological resources. The co-sponsors
of the project received a total $937,926
from the California Department of
Water Resources.
POST purchased the 903-acre site in
2012 because it is a critical piece of
Pescaderos agricultural landscape providing both crop and range opportunities, according to Laura OLeary,
POSTs senior stewardship project
manager. The creek and its riparian forest are valuable and in need of protection, OLeary wrote in an email.
We are thrilled to have received this
grant in partnership with the RCD (conservation district) since it will reconnect the incised channel to its historic
floodplain which will improve wildlife
habitat and potentially reduce downstream flooding. Its a unique opportunity to have this much contiguous creek
to restore. Its really the special combination of POSTs ability to protect this
land and the RCDs ability to bring the
necessary agencies together to design,
permit and implement a project of this
scale that makes this whole project so
exciting, OLeary wrote.
As part of the two local agencys
stewardship goals, the community will
hopefully become educated and participate in the restoration project through
workdays and site tours. Two to three
years after completion, the project will
ideally restore up to 10 percent of the
historic floodplain thats been lost
over the last century, Nelson said.
While receiving the grant is a tremendous support to the project, Nelson said
they must still finalize the projects
design which will likely include natural elements being used to raise the
creek bed and secure a range of permits from federal, state and local agencies.
Once approved, the project will ideally be constructed next summer and
quickly begin to reverse centuries of
erosion while benefiting the coastal
town, Nelson said.
This is a community thats largely
cut off from the outside world in relatively small rain events and its a huge
impact on them in terms of economics,
access and egress, and in terms of public safety the fire station is down the
road, Nelson said. This has benefits
for both the community in terms of
public safety access and the local economy, as well as benefits for the ecosystem functions and the wildlife that
depends upon this really precious, special place.
pler life and said a tiny house may be the

way to go.
Even nonprofit agency Samaritan
House is looking toward tiny houses as
a creative solution to solve the countys
housing crisis. The trouble is, however,
theres not enough land available in the
county even for tiny houses.
Anderson and Castle are willing to
offer their services in exchange for free
or low rent and believe cities should
start looking at their zoning laws to
allow tiny homes to pop up in backyards all over the county.
A tiny house would be perfect for the
college graduate transitioning into the
workforce or for home care workers who
tend to those who want to age in place.
They want to be part of a cultural
transformation toward living with
less.
Anderson is an artist and Castle does
odd jobs to support the couple. Theyve
been together for five years now.
Eventually, they plan to spend their
days tending to a garden and chickens as
they find solace in their tiny home on
wheels and the potential lifestyle it
could bring.
They want to live completely off the
grid.
Their tiny home does have one decadent feature, however, a nice big bath-
tub. Its another spot in their home

where they can find privacy and relax.
Without the pressure of paying a big
mortgage or high rent, the couple finds
they have a lot more time to spend with
family, play music or do whatever they
want really.
Castle grew up in Redwood City and
Anderson in North Dakota.
Theyve even insulated their tiny
house to survive much colder climates in
case they end up leaving the Bay Area
altogether for someplace cheaper and
more chilly.
Living in a tiny house is green living,
they say.
Their carbon footprint is virtually
nonexistent.
A tiny house truly is an affordable
option, but until there are clear codes
defining them, existing building codes
are modified to allow for their use, or a
process is established for securing variances or camping permits, life in a tiny
house is simply too good to be legal,
Castle said.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
Lee Zelitzky aka Leona Zelitzky aka L.
Zelitzky
Case Number: 125967
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of: Lee Zelitzky aka Leona
Zelitzky aka L. Zelitzky. A Petition for
Probate has been filed by Jay Zelitzky
(formerly Jay Deleanu) in the Superior
Court of California, County of San Mateo.
The Petition for Probate requests that
Jay Zelitzky (formerly Jay Deleanu) be
appointed as personal representative to
administer the estate of the decedent.
The petition requests the decedents will
and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the
court.
The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to
give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to
the proposed action.) The independent
administration authority will be granted
unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant the
authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: September 9, 2015
at 9:00 a.m., Department 28, Superior
Court of California, County of San Mateo,
400 County Center, Redwood City, CA
94063.
If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing
and state your objections or file written
objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person
or by your attorney.
If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your
claim with the court and mail a copy to
the personal representative appointed by
the court within the later of either (1) four
months from the date of first issuance of
letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the
California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days
from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section
9052 of the California Probate Code.
Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.
You may examine the file kept by the
court. If you are a person interested in
the estate, you may file with the court a
Request for Special Notice (form DE154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition
or account as provided in Probate Code
section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.

attributed to more cars on the road in
Millbrae.
The only reasoning we can say is an
increase in traffic and increase in people
driving through Millbrae, she said.
Cameras are necessary because they require
fewer police to regulate intersections and
traffic infractions, which allows officers to
focus on more pressing law enforcement
demands, said Lee.
Millbrae, which has the San Mateo County
Sheriffs Office provide its police services,
outsources operation of its red light cameras
to the San Mateo Police Department.
Other cameras are located at the intersection of Millbrae Avenue at Rollins Road, and
Millbrae Avenue at El Camino Real.

In San Bruno, incumbents Irene OConnell

Incumbents Kevin Martinez and Jennifer
Blanco will run for re-election to the San

Board of Trustees, while data systems specialist Andrew Mason and Charles Zelnik
have declared interest as well.
The Redwood City Elementary School
District asked voters to support a bond taxing home owners $30 per $100,000 of
assessed home value, to create $193 million
for capital improvements to school campuses.
Voters in San Mateo and Foster City are
requested to support a school bond measure
which would tax them $15 per $100,000 of
assessed home value, to generate $148 million to be spent building new classrooms
and addressing equity issues.
School bonds require 55 percent support
from voters to pass.
San Mateo voters have been called to support extending an existing quarter-cent city
sales tax, which could generate about $150
million over 30 years.
A half-cent sales tax has been floated to
voters in South San Francisco, to create
$210 million which would be used to build a
new Civic Center.
In San Carlos, voters will need to support
a $45 million bond to allow the city to preserve Black Mountain as a public park.
City clerk and treasurer in San Bruno
would be appointed, under voter approval.
Sales taxes need a majority support to
pass, and the San Carlos city bond requires
two-thirds of voter approval to pass.
enhancing the safety of both drivers and

pedestrians in Millbrae.
And since a notice is posted at each intersection where a camera is mounted, drivers
who get cited had previously received fair
warning.
Its our due diligence in protecting everyone, she said.
Significantly fewer tickets were issued for
cars driving straight through red lights, or
turning left, according to the website.
The 188 drivers who received citations for
making right turns from Millbrae Avenue
westbound onto Rollins Road accounted for
the second-most tickets issued.
Last year, a significant uptick in the
amount of tickets issued occurred, as the
monthly amount jumped in April from about
an average of 600 tickets to more than
1,000 in May, which is roughly the amount
that have been issued since.
A camera at the intersection of Highway
101 and Millbrae Avenue was replaced and
repositioned last year, which contributed
to the increased amount of tickets being
issued, officials have said.

But the cameras have not been adjusted
recently, said Lee, so there is nothing the
city or police have done to contribute to the
upswing in tickets.
The 3,577 total events recorded by
Millbrae cameras in June was the most ever
as well. Not every incident recorded by a
camera results in a ticket.
Drivers who are ticketed have very little
luck in successfully legally challenging the
tickets, said Lissner.
Its tough, he said. Everything is
against you, a lot of the time. They have
photographic evidence.
Millbrae has one of the most vigilant red
light camera systems in the entire Bay Area,
said Lissner, behind Newark, which is one of
the most aggressive, especially in citing
drivers taking a right-hand turn on red
lights, said Lissner.
Lissner said the systems which rely on
right turns for a majority of their tickets are
the worst type, because they heavily regulate maneuvers which many drivers consider
common and acceptable.

Millbraes program is particularly dirty
because of the predominance of right-turn
tickets, he said.
The citys red light camera contract
expires in October, and the City Council
will need to vote to approve keeping the
system in place, said Louis.
Lee though said he supports continuing
the camera program, despite inconvenience
drivers may feel they cause, because of the
valuable role they play in ensuring drivers
safety.
Im more concerned about safety than
someones pocketbook, he said.
Colapietro agreed, and said ensuring public safety is the councils paramount concern.
We have to make sure, not matter what we
do, we have something that will protect
everybody, she said.

At least 17 killed
after explosions
in China port city
By Christopher Bodeen
TIANJIN, China Huge explosions at a warehouse for dangerous

materials in the northeastern
Chinese port of Tianjin killed at
least 17 people, injured hundreds
and sent massive fireballs into the
night sky, officials and witnesses
said Thursday.
Chinas state broadcaster, CCTV,
said that at least 17 people were
killed and that 32 were in critical
condition in hospital. Hundreds of
others were taken to hospital. The
explosions
late
Wednesday
knocked off doors of buildings in
the area and shattered windows up
to several kilometers (miles)
away.
I thought it was an earthquake,
so I rushed downstairs without my
shoes on, Tianjin resident Zhang
Siyu, whose home is several kilometers from the blast site, said in a
telephone interview. Only once I
was outside did I realize it was an
explosion. There was the huge
fireball in the sky with thick
clouds. Everybody could see it.
Zhang said she could see wounded people weeping. She said she
did not see anyone who had been
killed, but I could feel death.
Police in Tianjin said an initial
blast took place at shipping containers in a warehouse for hazardous materials owned by Ruihai
Logistics, a company that says its
properly approved to handle hazardous materials. State media said
senior management of the company had been detained by authorities.
Its part of an industrial park,
with some apartment buildings in
the vicinity.
The official Xinhua News agency
said an initial explosion triggered
other blasts at nearby businesses.
The National Earthquake Bureau
reported two major blasts before
midnight, the first with an equivalent of 3 tons of TNT, and the second with the equivalent of 21 tons.
Photos taken by bystanders and
circulating on microblogs show a
gigantic fireball high in the sky,
with a mushroom-cloud. Other
photos on state media outlets
showed a sea of fire that painted
the night sky bright orange, with
tall plumes of smoke.
About 2 kilometers (1.2 miles)
from the explosion site is the luxury Fifth Avenue apartment complex on a road strewn with broken
glass and pieces of charred metal
thrown from explosion. Like surrounding
buildings,
the
Mediterranean style complex had

all its windows blown out, and
some of its surfaces were scorched.
Its lucky no one had moved
in, said a worker on the site, Liu
Junwei, 29. But for us its a total
loss. Two years hard work down
the drain.
It had been all quiet, then the
sky just lit up brighter than day
and it looked like a fireworks
show, said another worker on the
site who gave just his surname, Li.
In one neighborhood about 10
to 20 kilometers (6 to 12 miles)
from the blast site, some residents
were sleeping on the street wearing gas masks, although there was
no perceptible problem with the

air apart from massive clouds of
smoke seen in the distance.
It was like what we were told a
nuclear bomb would be like, said
truck driver Zhao Zhencheng, who
spent the night in the cab of his
truck. Ive never even thought Id
see such a thing. It was terrifying
but also beautiful.
At the nearby Taida Hospital as
dawn broke, military medical tents
were set up. Photos circulating
online showed patients in bandages and with cuts.
State broadcaster CCTV said six
battalions of firefighters had
