South City library renovations


possible through county grants
By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

With the help of San Mateo County grant


funding awarded, the library on Grand Avenue
in South San Francisco will close temporarily
while it receives a long overdue face-lift.
The South San Francisco City Council is prepared during a meeting Wednesday, Aug. 26, to
approve accepting $500,000 in grant funding
from the countys Measure A fund, which will
contribute to financing a variety of library renovations.
The grant money, which will be matched
equally by the city, will pay for the construction
of a second restroom and new quiet study space,
as well as an outdoor patio and recreation area.
The library, at 306 Walnut Ave., will shut
down in mid-September to prepare for the construction and will remain closed through
February while workers complete the renovations.
Library Director Valerie Sommer expressed
her appreciation for the countys contribution to
the much-needed upgrades.
We are able to build the community-driven
vision of our renovated library, thanks in part to
Measure A funding, she said.
While the library is closed, some of the services offered at the site such as reading programs
for children will move to the Community
Learning Center, at 520 Tamarack Lane, said
Sommer.
Measure A is the half-cent sales tax benefiting
the county which was approved by voters in
2012.
The $500,000 grant South San Francisco officials are set to receive this week marks the second round of contributions from the county
toward the library project, as $400,000 was
granted from the Measure A fund last year.
In all, the renovation project budget is $1.7
million, generated through county grant fund-

ing, contributions by the city from the general
fund and capital improvements budget, as well
as donations by residents.
Sommer credited county Supervisor Dave
Pine for spearheading the effort to land the grant
funding, and he will be present during the council meeting to be recognized for his work.
The Grand Avenue library is a branch of the
citys main library, 840 W. Orange Ave.
South San Francisco officials have placed a
half-cent sales tax measure on the fall ballot
which, if approved, would in part pay toward the
reconstruction of the citys main library, which
some officials claim is outdated and incapable of
addressing its current demand of service.
Some residents do not know that the Grand
Avenue library exists, said Sommer, which is
why the proposed renovations will include new
signs posted in front of the building, near the
entrance on Walnut Avenue.
The citys Planning Commission approved
the proposed renovations during a meeting last
month.
The Grand Avenue library offers a variety of
amenities beyond simple access to books and
education programs, which is part of the reason
the renovations are required, said Sommer.
Free meals are served at the site, and the new
restroom will provide residents greater access to
enjoying them in a clean and sanitary fashion,
said Sommer.
Over the summer, more than 2,000 adults and
students ate free meals at the library, according
to Sommer.
There are also a variety of after-school programs targeted for high school students offered
at the library, said Sommer, and the new 1,171-

square-foot outdoor patio will provide a separate noise buffer to library users who prefer
peace and quiet while they browse or read
books.
The patio, which will also feature a
retractable awning, is one of the few amenities
that have been tacked on to the library site,
which was built in 1917, and was most recently
seismically renovated in 1997.
As officials consider accepting grant money
which will be used to update the library site, a
community outreach campaign has illustrated a
demand to refresh the systems services as well,
said Sommer.
Residents are interested in more material that
is accessible electronically on tablets or other
mobile devices, as well as more education
courses for seniors and adults who are looking
for opportunities to become more technologically savvy, said Sommer.
Amidst an effort to update the variety of services offered by the library system, Sommer said
she appreciated the collaborative effort that has
brought the renovations to the precipice of
fruition.
This is our shot to bring the library a little bit
more into the 21st century, and make it a real
fun destination spot, she said.
The South San Francisco City Council meets
Wednesday, Aug. 26, in the Municipal Services
Building, 33 Arroyo Drive. The meeting starts
at 7 p.m.

Fire evacuations lifted for


homes near state ski resort
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BIG BEAR LAKE Evacuation orders


have been lifted for hundreds of mountain
homes threatened by a fire near a popular
Southern California ski resort.
The orders were lifted at 2 p.m. Monday,
firefighter Uriah Hernandez said. They had
been in place for up to 500 homes, many of
them cabins and vacation houses, and crews
aided by a squadron of aircraft worked to protect them.
Firefighters working in steep terrain held
the blaze near Snow Summit resort in Big
Bear Lake to about 100 acres. It was 50 percent contained.
Several planes and helicopters were able to
make easy water pickups at the towns large

might have improperly blocked the
death penalty for James Holmes by
being untruthful about her beliefs,
drawing a forceful rebuke from the
judge.
Thats unfair and thats improper, Judge Carlos A. Samour Jr. told
Robert Sullivan after Sullivan suggested the sole juror who voted
against the death penalty might have
intended all along to make sure

Holmes got a life sentence.


Sullivans surprise allegation
came near the end of the first day of
testimony from victims and family
members about the searing emotional and physical scars the shooting
has left. At the end of the three-day
hearing, Samour will formally sentence Holmes to life without parole
and up to 3,318 additional years on
attempted murder convictions.
Jurors rejected Holmes insanity
plea and convicted him of murdering 12 people and trying to murder
70 others when he opened fire on a
packed theater in suburban Denver
on July 20, 2012.

Man charged with


Local briefs
misdemeanor for bringing
replica hand grenades to SFO Two arrested for trying to
return stolen items to store
A man from Spain who caused
San Francisco International Airport
security to clear a terminal Sunday
because he had six replica hand
grenades in a carry-on bag will be
charged with a misdemeanor,
according to the San Mateo County
District Attorneys Office.
Pedro Maillo-Briz, 38, was finishing up his vacation and headed
back to Barcelona when security
shut down the terminal, according
to prosecutors.
A bomb squad was called in to
investigate and caused flights to be
delayed for about two hours,
according to prosecutors.
Maillo-Briz told authorities he
bought
the
realistic-looking
grenades in Las Vegas for his niece
and nephew to play with when he
returned home, according to prosecutors.
Many travelers missed their
flights Sunday afternoon and into
the evening as security cleared the
terminal, according to prosecutors.
The man apologized and has no
criminal history and is not on any
FBI watch lists, according to prosecutors.
Maillo-Briz was in court Monday
and was appointed a private defender. His bail was set at $10,000.
He will be back in court Aug. 27
for a pretrial conference.

Deputies arrested two people on


suspicion of conspiracy and fraud
Sunday morning, according to the
San Mateo County Sheriffs Office.
At 9:59 a.m., sheriffs deputies
made contact with a man who was
sitting in his vehicle in a CVS/pharmacy parking lot, located at 11 El
Camino Real.
One of the deputies recognized
seeing the vehicle in a different
parking lot in the city earlier that
morning.
The suspect refused to identify
himself, saying that he was waiting
for his girlfriend, who went inside
the CVS to use the restroom, sheriffs officials said.
Deputies were able to identify the
man as Arnell Clark of East Palo
Alto.
Deputies conducted a records
check and revealed that Clark had
been released from prison in April
and was on parole.
A search of Clark and his vehicle
revealed hundreds of cash register
receipts from major stores in the
Peninsula and the East Bay, according to the Sheriffs Office.
Deputies also found notebooks
containing handwritten descriptions
of store items and prices that
matched some of the receipts.

Belmont considers digital billboard contract


Ad agency to replace eight stagnant signs, pay city $7.2 million
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Following in the footsteps of neighboring


cities, Belmont will consider allowing an
advertising firm to install a digital billboard
near Highway 101 in exchange for at least
$7.2 million over the next 30 years.
As part of the proposed contract, Clear
Channel Outdoor Corporation must also agree
to remove eight stagnant billboards located
throughout the city, according to a staff
report.
On Tuesday night, the City Council will
consider the contract to lease space on the
city-owned sewer pump station at 1385
Shoreway Road. Along with a one-time
$75,000 payment, the contract calls for Clear
Channel to pay at least $150,000 per year, or
30 percent of the gross advertising revenue it
earns from the billboard. With an annual 3
percent increase on the minimum payment,
its estimated the city could earn up to
$300,000 in annual rent, according to the
report.
I think its an excellent way to augment the
citys finances while at the same time, remov-

ing billboards along El Camino Real, Vice


Mayor Eric Reed said. Its a more appropriate location. It gets the billboards further
away from residences by putting it over by the
freeway.
Clear Channel seeks to install a two-sided,
48-foot wide by 14-foot tall billboard approximately 60 feet above the ground. The two
sides would be angled in a V shape so as to
attract the attention of those heading in either
direction along Highway 101, according to
the report.
Clear Channel must remove several stagnant billboards from El Camino Real and
Highway 101. On El Camino Real, they
include two single-sided 12-foot by 25-foot
signs and a 14-foot by 48-foot billboard, as
well as a double-sided 12-foot by 25-foot billboard. The deal will also eliminate four 12foot by 25-foot billboards facing Highway
101, according to the report.
By removing the numerous ads throughout
the city and replacing them with a single digital LED billboard along the highway, city
officials hope it will help beautify the area.
I think the fact that Clear Channel is willing to remove eight existing billboards is a
positive thing for Belmont, said Councilman

Comment on

Charles Stone. I think it will improve the
aesthetics of the town and it has the potential
to generate substantial income for the city.
Plus, the city will receive its own eye-catching opportunity by being able to run free
Belmont advertisements during an eight-second segment of the normal display rotation
for four two-week periods each year, according to the report.
The contract also leaves space for Caltrans
Amber Alert messages and prohibits anything that promotes the sale or use of tobacco
products, illegal drugs, marijuana, adult entertainment establishments or publishing any
content that is obscene, vulgar or profane,
according to the report.
Digital billboards are becoming increasingly popular along the Bay Areas stretch of
Highway 101 and Stone said hes confident
they arent overt distractions to drivers since
staff hasnt reported issues from the ads in
nearby cities like San Carlos.

The Millbrae City Council also recently


approved its own billboard deal that could
generate about $5 million over the next 20
years. That contract includes a $100,000 signing bonus, $200,000 annually for the first five
years with an increase until payments reach
$300,000. Millbraes deal has a similar clause
where the city could receive up to 35 percent
of the ad agencys revenue from the billboard.
Reed said hes hopeful removing eight
other billboards throughout the city and
replacing it with the high-tech digital one will
be a financial, aesthetic and environmental
improvement.
It seems to be a very positive deal with
minimal impacts, Reed said. Its the wave
of the future. It makes changing copy very
easy, it gets the most eyeballs possible on the
advertisement. I think its a win-win for
everybody.
The Belmont City Council meets 7 p.m.,
Tuesday, Aug. 25, at City Hall, One Twin
Pines Lane.

Obama calls out fossil fuel interests for fighting solar


By Nancy Benac
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LAS VEGAS President


Barack Obama on Monday accused
fossil fuel interests and other critics of his energy policies of trying
to restrict consumers from accessing solar, wind and other renewable sources in order to protect the

status quo.
Thats not
the American
way, Obama
said in a speech
at a green energy conference in
Las
Vegas.
This is about
the past versus
Barack Obama the
future.

America believes in the future.


The president also questioned the
ideological consistency of those
who champion free-market solutions except when the free market is pointing to the wisdom of
renewable energy. He singled out
billionaire brothers Charles and
David Koch, who are major donors
to Republican political candidates.
Its one thing if youre consistent

in being free market, Obama said.


Its another thing when youre free
market until its solar thats working
and people want to buy and suddenly youre not for it anymore. Thats
a problem.
Obama said the economics are
now such that solar isnt just for
the green crowd any more, its for
the green-eyeshade crowd too.
The president compared those

who say that shifting to cleaner


energy will cripple the economy
with climate change deniers who
hold up snowballs in February to
argue that somehow disproves
decades of scientific data.
We refuse to surrender the hope
of a clean energy future to those
who fear it and fight it and sometimes provide misinformation about
it, he said.

Iran deal picks up support following Reids endorsement


By Jesse J. Holland
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON With Senate Democratic


leader Harry Reid on board, the nuclear agreement between Iran and six world powers is
picking up momentum to survive fierce opposition from Republican and Israeli opponents.
A day after Reids announcement that he will
back the deal pushed by President Barack
Obama, Michigan Democratic Sen. Debbie
Stabenow threw her support behind the agreement too, declaring in a press release Monday:
I have determined that the imminent threat of
Iran having a nuclear weapon outweighs any
flaws I see in the international agreement. For
this reason, I must support the agreement.
Stabenow became the 28th Senate
Democratic supporter of the deal, pushing
backers closer to the 34 votes they would need

Dominating TV, Donald


Trump a ratings draw
NEW YORK Opinion polls are one
thing, but Nielsen numbers speak more loudly
to television executives: Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trumps ability to pull
in viewers makes him catnip for news programs and wins a level of coverage that feeds
on itself.
NBCs Meet the Press had its biggest
audience in more than a year for its Trump
interview on Aug. 16, leading that shows
biggest competitors ABCs This Week
and CBS Face the Nation to feature
phone interviews with the New York businessman this past Sunday.
After CNN turned Jake Tappers interview
with Trump into a prime-time special last
week and earned its best ratings at that hour in
a month, the network repeated it two nights
later. Two Trump interviews on Sean
Hannitys Fox News Channel show this month
both brought in around 2.2 million viewers,
well above his typical audience.

Family feud? Obama caught
between Clinton, Biden ambitions
WASHINGTON President Barack
Obama is the man in the middle, caught
between the White House aspirations of two
of his closest advisers: Vice President Joe
Biden and former Secretary of State Hillary
Rodham Clinton.
For months, White House officials expected Clinton to be the Democratic nominee in
the 2016 election. Some of Obamas top political advisers moved to New York to run her
campaign and Obama appeared to give his
tacit approval, saying she would be an excellent president.
But that bet on Clinton suddenly looks less
certain. With Biden weighing his own presidential run more seriously amid signs of
weakness in Clintons campaign, the White
House faces the prospect of a family feud
over who will become heir to Obamas legacy.

recently backed the deal, and Reids support


provided an opportunity for others to jump on
board. Reids announcement came ahead of
Obamas visit to Nevada Monday for an energy summit.
Stabenow, who is close to Schumer, had
been seen as a question mark on the deal.
America must choose between the following:
an international coalition working together to
stop a nuclear Iran while increasing our joint
efforts to stop their non-nuclear terrorist activities, or no international effort, no surveillance,
no accountability and a nuclear Iran within a
few months, she said.
Republicans and the Israeli government
strongly oppose the deal struck by the United
States, Russia, China, Britain, France and
Germany with Iran, which seeks to keep Iran
from building a nuclear bomb in exchange for
billions in international sanctions relief. They

say the agreement makes too many concessions to Iran and could actually enable that
country to become a nuclear-armed state.
Congress plans a vote next month on a resolution disapproving of the deal, which Obama
has threatened to veto. Opponents would then
need two-thirds majorities in the House and the
Senate to override.
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi
already has said House Democratic supporters
have the votes necessary to sustain Obamas
veto despite unanimous GOP opposition.
Reid said he believes that the deal was the
best that could be achieved.
First, this is a good agreement on the merits, imposing the toughest inspections and verification regime in history, and a diplomatic
solution is certainly less costly in American
blood and treasure than any possible military
option, Reid said.

Airman on Paris-bound train


could get Air Force medal
By Lolita C. Baldor

WASHINGTON Airman 1st Class


Spencer Stones military unit is nominating
him for the prestigious Airmans Medal in
honor of his actions to subdue a heavily armed
gunman on the Amsterdam-to-Paris train last
Friday, Air Force Secretary Deborah Lee
James told reporters.
And Stone whose nickname from his

could eventually be eligible for the Purple
Heart, if French authorities conclude the
attack was a terrorist event, according to Air
Force Chief of Staff Gen. Mark A. Welsh.
Stone, U.S. Army Spec. Alek Skarlatos,

their friend Anthony Sadler and British businessman Chris Norman, all jumped on the
gunman as he moved through the train with an
assault rifle strapped to his chest. The four
received Frances highest award, the Legion
dHonneur, on Monday.
Had it not been for this heroic quartet, Im
quite sure that today we would be sitting here
discussing a bloodbath instead of what, in
fact, we are going to discuss, James said during a Pentagon press conference announcing
the units award nomination. Airman Stone
and his friends personified service before self:
no question about it. Their fearlessness,
courage, and selflessness should inspire all of
us, and thanks to them, no one died on that

Letters to the editor

Service above self

For the second time, Kamala Harris, our


attorney general, wants to use her own wording that has been proven to be union friendly
and make it appear that it would somehow
limit public employees constitutional protections. In reality, she and the public union
executives want this initiative defeated
because they do not want public union pay to
be determined by the people who are ultimately responsible for paying it. They want benets determined by the people whom they help
to get elected to ofce.
The political partisanship by our leaders in
Sacramento and especially Ms. Harris is clear
if one looks at the history of Chuck Reeds
bills. Would you like a vote in determining the
salaries of people you are constitutionally
required to pay? I would.

e have the means to transform the world for the better. Let us start with our
beloved communities of Belmont,
Hillsborough, Pacica, Burlingame, San
Mateo, San Bruno, Redwood City, etc. From
here, there is no limit to what we can
accomplish. That is what I said to members
of the San Mateo Rotary Club at a function
two weeks ago when I had the honor of
being its guest
speaker.
Among other
things, I discussed the importance of each of
us striving to be a
bright light in the
dark corridors of
our world by
engaging our
communities and
paying it forward
for less fortunate
individuals. I also Jonathan Madison
discussed the various feedback I received
from a number of readers of the Daily
Journal in regards to my column. Some suggest that my column is nothing more than a
naive and romanticized outlook of reality.
Fortunately, many others have commended
my column for just the opposite reecting a positive outlook on a world painted
consistently by the media as pessimistic and
hopeless.
My response to those who suggest that I
should be less optimistic in my pieces is that
they see a fundamentally different world
than I do. Others have courage to focus on
the possibility of success in the face of failure, or to have faith amidst great trials and
tribulation. Now, more than ever, there is an
urgent need to maintain a vision and hope to
see what others cannot amidst cynicism and
pessimistic rhetoric in our world.
Needless to say, the Rotary Club is truly
an inspiration for me and countless others in
and beyond San Mateo County. The Rotary
Club is one of the most well-renowned community service institutions our state has ever
known.
Founded in 1924, the San Mateo Rotary
Club is an organization of community leaders and business professionals dedicated to
improving our communities through various
community engagement efforts. The Rotary
Club is at the forefront of our nations most
pressing issues, such as ending hunger, sustaining a healthy environment, promoting
quality education and ensuring public safety.
Most notably, the Rotary Club makes an
invaluable investment in educational opportunities through its sponsorship of several
types of scholarships that make possible
numerous opportunities for career development.
It should come as no surprise that the
Rotary Club Motto is Service Above Self.
Engaging in community service is in itself
an act of courage. Those who volunteer their
time and efforts in hopes of improving
underrepresented segments of the community and environment must, at the very least,
have the capacity to envision a brighter
future for the cause in which they have
undertaken.
The Rotary Clubs long-standing history
of commitment to service speaks to their
members understanding that changing the
world cannot be quantied in terms of how
many lives are assisted. To change just one
persons life is to change the world because
every person is an inextricable part of this
world. As such, to those that wish to expand
their time, efforts and passions to change the
world for the better, I urge you to rst look
to effect change within yourself, those closest to you, and your community. That is how
we can truly change the world.

A community
approach to zoning changes
Editor,
While I appreciate the steps you are taking
to expand resident notication of proposed
single-family zoning revisions, I strongly urge
you not to follow the Aug. 25, 2015, subcommittee recommendation that would put you on
track to repeat the same mistakes that led to
the referendum of the rst ordinances.
http://belmontca.granicus.com/MetaViewer.php?view_id=2
&event_id=266&meta_id=9126
The councils draft ordinances were dictated
in a closed room without analysis of the scope
and nature of the problem. This approach will
never lead to the appropriate solution. And
holding one-directional meetings, toinform
and educate the public instead of listening to
and analyzing the real problems, will lead to
the same result another referendum. Please
dont waste more time and resources by following this same failed path.
I recently spoke with a resident whose
remodel was blocked by the much maligned
garage ordinance. But on closer examination
of his situation, it turns out your proposed
revisions would NOT alleviate his problem
he still would not be able to expand his
home even under the repealed revisions. This
scenario conrms my point; the true problem
has never been accurately dened therefore
your dictated solution will NOT solve the
problem.
Daily Journal Editor Jon Mays wisely recommended a citizens advisory committee,
www.smdailyjournal.com/articles/opinions/2015-07-17/belmont-needs-apause/1776425146867.html. The Ask Belmont
Citizens committee has likewise proposed a
bottom-up, fact-based process that could identify the real issues and derive creative solutions that your closed-door committee of two
may not have imagined.Instead of dictating
your solutions, please show true leadership by
leading residents in a transparent, communitydriven process to develop their own solutions.

Vote deserved by the people to


determine public employee benefits
Editor,
I would like to bring up an issue that I think
needs to be addressed urgently. It concerns the
wording of a pension initiative under review
by our states attorney general, Kamala Harris.
It is being co-written by former San Jose
mayor Chuck Reed. The proposition asks that
any new public union benets and any
changes to existing benets be voted on by
people legally registered to vote in California.
Since taxpayers are the ones whose hardearned dollars pay the taxes that fund our public employees, you would think that it should
be a basic requirement and a good idea. The
problem is, our attorney general hates the idea
of any public employee benet decisions to be
decided by voters. Why is that?

Elected officials
role in helping Puente
Editor,
Thank you very much for publishing the
story, Coastal nonprot loses federal funds
for jobs in the Aug. 15 edition of the Daily
Journal, about how the nonprot organization
I lead, Puente de la Costa Sur, lost funding for
our comprehensive youth employment program. As you point out, while our program
strives to keep students in school, new federal
grant guidelines require 75 percent of the
funding to be used for youth who arent in
school. As a result, Puente lost a $234,000
grant. What needs correcting, however, is the
important role that Supervisor Don Horsley
and U.S. Rep. Anna Eshoo, D-Palo Alto, have
played in helping Puente recover funds from
other sources. Supervisor Horsley was instrumental in helping Puente secure $20,000 in
funds from the San Mateo County Human
Services Agency. He has also put a request for
$50,000 from Measure A funding on the agenda for the Board of Supervisors to consider in
September. Congresswoman Eshoo has
appealed to Thomas E. Perez, the secretary of
the U.S. Department of Labor, to nd additional sources of funding to help benet the
youth and families of our region. We greatly
appreciate these efforts and the ongoing
support of these two elected ofcials and
want San Mateo Daily Journal readers to
know about them.

San Mateo County


needs affordable housing
Editor,
I had a pretty good year (nancially speaking) in 2014. I earned just slightly less than
the average per capita income of Menlo Park;
one of the countys more upscale communities. Economists recommend not spending
more than 33 percent of gross income on rent.
I applied this to my income and came up with
the maximum rent I should pay. I was surprised to nd only two affordable apartments
in all of San Mateo County. One was in
Redwood City and the other in East Palo Alto.
These were not resort-style apartments with
pool, tennis courts, gym and other amenities.
These were your basic one-bedroom apartments.
Conversely, I found 181 affordable apartments in San Diego County, and 147 in
Orange County. San Mateo County is not only
out of the reach of the poor, but those who are
doing pretty well.

Beware of certain pet sitters


Editor,
As the owner of a professional pet sitting
and dog walking company for 18 years, I, like
so many others, am shocked and appalled by
the actions of the so-called pet sitter in your
article Burlingame Ofcials Searching for
Abused Dog in the Aug. 19 edition of the
Daily Journal. I am shocked and appalled that
someone would even do such a thing, but also
saddened because something like this puts
professional pet sitters and clearly this person is not a professional pet sitter in a bad
light.
To the pet-owning public, I urge you to
make sure that the pet sitting company you are
considering hiring is bonded and insured. Ask
how long they have been in business. Ask if
they have a business license. Ask if they perform background checks on their employees.
Ask if the pet sitting company belongs to any
professional organizations. Does the company
provide references? Are they trained in pet
rst aid and CPR? Do they have a website?
While not all professional pet sitters will necessarily have all of these things, it is a good
starting point, and at the very least your pet
sitter should be bonded and insured and have
a business license.
The professional pet sitters I know are hardworking, honest and ethical. To the pet owner
it may seem attractive to hire someone with
little or no credentials, but sometimes you get
what you pay for. My heart goes out to these
dogs and to their unsuspecting owners.

WASHINGTON For much of the


economys fitful and sluggish six-year
recovery from the Great Recession, analysts have foreseen a sunnier future:
Growth would pick up in six months, or
in a year.
That was then.
The latest Associated Press survey of
leading economists shows that most now
foresee a weaker expansion than they
had earlier. A majority of the nearly three
dozen who responded to the survey predict tepid economic growth, weak pay
gains and modest hiring for the next two
years at least.
Nearly 70 percent said they thought the
economys growth would remain below
its long-run average of 3 percent annually through 2017. The economy hasnt
attained that pace since 2005.
And if theyre right, dont expect much
of a pay raise: Fifty-eight percent of the
economists think wage increases for the
next two years will remain stuck below a
long-term annual average of 3.5 percent.
Whats more, if growth doesnt pick up
from its modest post-recession pace of
2.2 percent a year, nearly six in 10 expect
hiring to fall to an average of 175,000
jobs a month or below, down from its
pace of 243,000 jobs a month for the past
year.

At the start of the year, many economists thought falling gas prices and
strong hiring would finally produce 3
percent economic growth for 2015 as a
whole.
We no longer have reason for optimism that the economy is going to accelerate, said Mike Englund, chief economist at Action Economics. The real
question is, when is the next downturn
coming?
Other findings from the survey, conducted Aug. 13-20, include:
Home sales will improve further
despite a still-tepid economy. More than
80 percent of economists say recent job
gains, which have put about 2.9 million
Americans to work in the past year, will
lead more Americans to buy homes.
Sales reached an annual rate of 5.6 million in July, the best in eight years. And
nine in 10 of the economists expect millennials people between 18 and 34
years old to step up their home buying
and boost growth in coming years.
All but two of the economists think
the Federal Reserve will raise the shortterm rate it controls by years end, with
80 percent pegging the Feds midSeptember meeting as the mostly likely
time.
Assuming the Fed raises rates this
year, economists forecast that the average 30-year fixed mortgage rate will rise
from 3.9 percent to 4.4 percent by mid-

Apples stock cuts losses after


CEO emails on China business
By Brandon Bailey
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO Apple shares


helped lead the stock market on a steep
dive Monday morning, but the tech giant
made a partial recovery after CEO Tim
Cook assured a popular Wall Street commentator that his company is still doing
well in China.
I get updates on our performance in
China every day, including this morning,
and I can tell you that we have continued
to experience strong growth for our business in China through July and August,
Cook wrote in an email to CNBCs Jim
Cramer, who shared the message with his
audience as Apples stock plummeted

more than 13 percent Monday morning.


That plunge erased more than $75 billion in Apples market value, which started the day around $602.8 billion.
Apple and other U.S. tech stocks were
rocked Monday by continued worries
over Chinas economy, following an
early sell-off on Friday. Apple says the
region it calls Greater China, which
includes Hong Kong and Taiwan, is its
second-largest market producing
more than a quarter of its sales and its
biggest share of growth last quarter.
The company rarely comments on its
stock performance, outside of quarterly
earnings reports, as Cook acknowledged
in his email to Cramer. But he said he
knew that questions about China are on

the minds of many investors. Cook


went on to say that, in China, growth in
iPhone activations has actually accelerated over the past few weeks, and we have
had the best performance of the year for
the App Store in China during the last 2
weeks.
Under federal securities rules, public
companies arent supposed to disclose
material information about their business performance unless its made widely available to the public, noted Stephen
Diamond, an associate professor who
teaches securities law at Santa Clara
University. But Diamond said Cooks
email may not be an issue since Cramer
read it on CNBC soon after he said he
received it.

2016 and 4.8 percent by the end of 2016.


Those levels are still low by historical
standards.
Chinas economic troubles will worsen, in turn slowing the global economy.
In just the past month, Chinas exports
have plummeted along with factory output, and its stock market has sunk. The
country has devalued its currency in part
to try to boost exports, but growth is
expected to slip to 7 percent this year, the
slowest pace since 1990. Half the economists said they think Chinas growth will
weaken further in the next year to below
a 6 percent annual pace and slow the
global economy.
Chinas woes have triggered sharp
selloffs in global financial markets.
The economists cited several reasons
for their dimmer outlook for the United
States. Many pointed to a slowdown in
the proportion of Americans with jobs.
Baby boomers are retiring, young people
are staying in school longer and some of
the unemployed have given up on their
job hunts.
Increases in worker efficiency have
also faltered since the recession, further
limiting the economys output.
The slowdown in labor force growth
is the main reason (economic) growth in
the U.S. will be slower than it was in the
second half of the previous century, said
Luke Tilley, chief economist at
Wilmington Trust.

Business briefs
U.S. crude closes under $40
a barrel to breach long-time low
NEW YORK The price of U.S. oil closed under $40 a
barrel on Monday for the first time since the days of the global economic crisis on fears of a slowdown in the world economy.
Already trading at six-year lows on a prolonged slump, U.S.
crude fell $2.21 to finish at $38.24 per barrel. Oil hadnt
closed below $40 since February 2009, although it briefly
traded below that level on Friday. Mondays closing price was
the lowest since Feb. 18, 2009.
Brent crude, a benchmark for international oils used by
many U.S. refineries, slipped $2.77 to $42.69 Monday and is
at its lowest levels since March 2009.
Signs are mounting that growth in China, the second-largest
economy in the world, is slowing down. Thats making
investors worry more and more about the health of the world
economy, and those fears led to a sell-off in stocks Friday and
again on Monday, when Chinas main stock market took its
biggest dive in eight years. The Dow Jones industrial average
spent the day far in the red, losing almost 600 points.

Philipopoulos go through the various calls

thats way too much information for these

Not only do offensive linemen need to
know what play has been called and what
the count is, they have to read a defense and
make the appropriate adjustments
whether its the left tackle firing out on

Enciso taken in 2nd round of PBA draft


By Terry Bernal
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Simon Enciso never stops.


The 5-11 guard out of Terra Nova has continued to excel at every level of basketball
he has played, from Skyline College to
Notre Dame de Namur University. Encisos
latest stop is in the Philippines, where he is
on the verge of realizing his dream of playing professional basketball after being
selected in the Philippine Basketball
Association draft Saturday.
Enciso was selected in the second round
with the 17th overall pick by the Rain or
Shine Elasto Painters. He is currently practicing with the team in anticipation of signing a contract by weeks end.
My dream was always to play professional basketball, Enciso said. In the NBA, I
was heading to the back of the list. Im
Filipino. So the next step is the PBA.
Enciso relocated to the Philippines a year
ago after graduating as an All-Pacwest player from NDNU in 2014. He played two seasons, over the course of one year, with the

Cebuana Lhuillier Gems


of
the
PBA
Developmental League.
Though he didnt receive
much playing time at
first,
he eventually
worked his way into the
starting lineup to help
the Gems to twice reach
Simon Enciso the playoffs.
I played really well
when I got my opportunity, Enciso said.
Its kind of political out here so coaches
have got to be comfortable with you. You
kind of have to prove yourself with them.
The highlight of his d-league days came in
the playoffs against powerhouse Cagayan
Valley Rising Suns, who went undefeated
through the regular season. The Rising Suns
featured center Moala Tautuaa, the No. 1
overall pick in Saturdays PBA draft. But
Enciso showed up with a career night, scoring 22 points to lead the Gems to victory.
Leading into the PBA draft, Enciso worked
out with Rain or Shine. So, he wasnt surprised they were the team to draft him, he

said. Now one of the taller guards in the mix,


he expects to play the point.
I know Im a rookie so Im expecting the
best and the worst, Enciso said. So, I
think that helped me calm down and play my
game.
A lifelong Golden State Warriors fan,
Enciso was filing his paperwork for the draft
on the fateful June evening when the Dubs
won their first NBA championship in 40
years. Well, it was evening in the U.S. For
Enciso, in the Philippines, it was the following morning as he watched Game 6 on
television with his friend and former
Skyline teammate Alli Austria.
Austria was also drafted Saturday, selected
in the fifth round by the Mahindra Enforcers.
The PBA consists of 12 teams, with a
three-season format lasting from October to
July. Enciso said basketball is the
Philippines primary professional sport.
It is huge, Enciso said. They love basketball out here. You say youre a basketball
player to the taxi drivers, they go crazy.
Its a funny situation. You get treated like a
celebrity.

Justin Wilson dies of head injury
sustained Sunday at Pocono Raceway
IndyCar driver Justin Wilson died Monday
night from a head injury suffered when a piece
of debris struck him at Pocono Raceway. He
was 37.
IndyCar made the announcement at
Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
Wilson, a British driver who lived outside
Denver in Longmont, Colorado, was hit in
the head during Sundays race by piece of
debris that had broken off another car.
Wilsons car veered into an interior wall at
the track, and he was swiftly taken by helicopter to a hospital in Allentown,
Pennsylvania.
Cant even begin to describe the loss I
feel right now. He was my Brother, my best
friend, my role model and mentor. He was a
champion! his younger brother, Stefan,
also an IndyCar driver, tweeted. Stefan
Wilson said his brothers organs would be
donated.
The last IndyCar driver to die from an ontrack incident was Indianapolis 500 champion Dan Wheldon, who was killed in the 2011
season finale at Las Vegas after his head hit a
post in the fence when his car went airborne.
After Wheldons death, Wilson became one
of three driver representatives to serve as a
liaison between the competitors and IndyCar.

COURTESY OF SIMON ENCISO

Notre Dame de Namur alum Simon Enciso was


drafted by the Rain or Shine Elasto Painters of
the Philippene Basketball Association.
It was no surprise: The 6-foot-4 Wilson, easily the tallest in the series, was well liked.
Justins elite ability to drive a race car was
matched by his unwavering kindness, character and humility which is what made him
one of the most respected members of the
paddock, said Mark Miles, CEO of Hulman
& Co., the parent company of IndyCar and
Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
Wilson won seven times over 12 seasons
in open-wheel racing and finished as high as
fifth in the Indianapolis 500. An acclaimed
sports car racer, Wilson won the prestigious
24 Hours of Daytona with Michael Shank
Racing, and he competed in 20 Formula One
races in 2003 before moving to the U.S. to
join Champ Car.
He finished third in the Champ Car standings in 2005, and was runner-up in both
2006 and 2007. To support his career, his
management team in 2003 created a program
that allowed fans to invest in the driver.
Hundreds of people bought shares in Wilson,
who was dyslexic and a strong supporter of
foundations related to the disorder.
Wilson, a native of Sheffield, England,
entered this season without a full-time ride.
He latched on with Andretti Autosport and
was in the sixth of seven scheduled races with
the team. The agreement began as a two-race
deal for events at Indianapolis Motor
Speedway, and then was increased to the final
five races of the year. The IndyCar season
concludes Sunday in Sonoma, California.

Bowmans first game back from injury memorable


By Janie McCauley
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SANTA CLARA Jim Tomsula has said it


over and over again: He reserves the right to
back off NaVorro Bowman if he senses the
star middle linebacker might need a break.
On Sunday night, Tomsula finally let
Bowman go for one quick defensive
series, at least. Bowman knew he had five
plays max.
And contrary to how little a players atbats a month into the baseball season might
show, this small football sample size told
plenty. Bowman is back all right.
Does he feel ready for the games that
count?
If I had played longer, he joked following his three-tackle, three-snap outing. It
was huge. I could feel the meter just rising on
those plays.

Hall of Fame receiver Cris Carter has

Carter posted his apology on Twitter after
an ESPN article drew attention to the

to get into trouble off the field, it was
important to have someone who would step
forward and take the blame.

NFC championship game
at Seattle in January
2014.
I was glad we got that
three-and-out, because I
could see him, the
momentum was going,
Tomsula said Monday.
Id have had to call timeNaVorro
out to get him out of
Bowman
there.
Bowman acknowledged he was emotional
during warmups at Levis Stadium seeing the
fans, and that helped get him going.
I missed it, he said. My adrenalin was
rushing. It felt good, just to face someone
else, just go out there and make some
plays.
Who could blame him for having some
added energy given it took 19 months to get
back, far longer than he had hoped. He
missed all of last year recovering from tears
in the anterior cruciate and medial collateral
ligaments in his knee, and he had surgery to
repair the ACL.

Bowman can sense that Tomsula, even if


cautious, understands his daunting journey
back to health.
I wanted to be out there, Bowman said.
We have a long road ahead of us. Just want
to be smart about it. I knew I had five plays
so I wanted to make the best of it.
He will get a new challenge this week in
the altitude of Colorado, something Tomsula
believes will be good for his team.
The 49ers will hold a short practice
Tuesday before flying to Denver, where they
have joint workouts scheduled with the
Broncos on Wednesday and Thursday before
the teams play Saturday night.
Nobody seemed surprised by Bowmans
explosive performance Sunday night, especially after seeing his athletic spin move on
Day 1 of training camp back on Aug. 1 in
which he blitzed and got past Marcus
Martin.
Everyone here has seen how hard hes
worked to get back and how hard hes been
going in training camp to make sure hes
been ready for this, quarterback Colin
Kaepernick said. And to see him step out

there and be his old self, to me, its what


weve seen all training camp.
Bowman is still adjusting to a bulky brace
he must wear to keep the training staff
happy.
He insists his instincts are as strong as
ever, in part because of his hard work in the
meeting room even when he wasnt able to
play.
You just want to stay in it. You dont want
to seem like you got it all, you always try to
better yourself, he said. Thats what the
greats do. They find ways to learn, different
ways, not just as a player. Thats what the
year off gave me. I just wanted to show that
Im a student of the game, not just a player.
No tes : TE Vance McDonald and WR
Chuck Jacobs sustained ankle sprains and

Raiders coaching staff has impressive playing credentials


By Josh Dubow
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NAPA The Oakland Raiders added an


impressive group this offseason. They
brought in 10 men who combined for 102
years of playing experience with 15 Pro
Bowl appearances, five All-Pro selections
and one Hall of Fame induction.
That was just on the coaching staff.
The Raiders are hoping a staff filled with
accomplished former NFL players like head
coach Jack Del Rio, coordinators Ken
Norton Jr. and Bill Musgrave, and position
coaches like Rod Woodson and Mike Tice
can pass along lessons learned in successful
pro careers to a younger group of players
still learning what it takes to succeed in the
NFL.
When youre a player, theres almost
automatically a respect that you have for a
person thats been in it, been in that fight,
knows what its all about, safety Charles
Woodson said. So I think the guys are
responding to that. These guys, really they
do have a wealth of knowledge. I think our
teaching level this year has been at an alltime high, as far as guys understanding
where theyre supposed to be each and every
play. I think thatll go well for us.

Tennis brief
Nick Kyrgios fined, suspended
for comments to Wawrinka
PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. Nick
Kyrgios was suspended for 28 days from any
ATP-sanctioned event and fined an additional
$25,000 on Monday for his comments to Stan
Wawrinka at the Rogers Cup in Montreal.
The penalties, however, are withheld provided he meets certain conditions over the next six
months, ending Feb. 24, 2016. Kyrgios
remains eligible for the U.S. Open, which starts
next week and is not an ATP tournament.
The governing body of mens tennis completed its review of Kyrgios conduct and cited
him for aggravated behavior. On Aug. 12, a
courtside microphone picked up Kyrgios saying
that fellow Australian player Thanasi
Kokkinakis had slept with a player who reportedly is now Wawrinkas girlfriend.
This incident was egregious and reflected
poorly on our sport, said Gayle David
Bradshaw, executive vice president of rules and
competition. Nick has expressed regret, and
the best result would be that he learns a lesson
from this incident and that he understands he is
responsible to the tour and to fellow players for
both his actions and his words.

When youre a player, theres almost automatically


a respect that you have for a person thats been in it,
been in that fight, knows what its all about.
Charles Woodson, Raiders safety

In all, 10 members of the Raiders coaching staff played in the NFL, including
receivers coach Rob Moore, running backs
coach Bernie Parmalee, defensive backs
coach Marcus Robertson, defensive assistant Sam Anno and defensive line coach
Jethro Franklin.
Oakland is the only team with former NFL
players as head coach, offensive coordinator
and defensive coordinator. Even general
manager Reggie McKenzie played 60 games
at linebacker in the NFL.
They have been there and done it, so
when they say it, it has a little more clout to
it, defensive end Justin Tuck said. Initially
it gets guys excited, but at the end of the day
its about knowing football. And we have a
staff here full of guys that know football.
The Raiders dont need to look far to know
that a coaching staff filled with star players
doesnt necessarily translate to success on
the field. Back in 2006, Oakland had eight
former NFL players, including Hall of

Famers Art Shell, Fred Biletnikoff, Willie


Brown and Jackie Slater on a staff that went
2-14.
Thats why a former player like Del Rio,
who played for successful coaches like
Jimmy Johnson and Dennis Green who
never played in the NFL, knows it takes
much more than on-field experience to be a
respected coach.
I dont put a lot of stock as a professional coach into that aspect of it, Del Rio said.
I am aware of it. Certainly the guys that
have had experience that weve been in that
seat, been in those pads, understand what
were going through. I think there is a different perspective that you have. But there are a
lot of excellent coaches that never played
the game, so I dont think it has a whole lot
to do with whether you can coach or not.
Left tackle Donald Penn echoes that sentiment, saying hes played for great coaches
who didnt play at a high level, like Jon
Gruden in Tampa Bay, and those who did,

The Giants just completed a 2-5 road trip

First, there is manager Don Mattingly,
who, despite having one of the most potent

But even Mattingly cant be blamed for
the teams bullpen woes, which is lit up

Eventually, the Giants are going to have
to consistently beat some playoff-caliber
teams, starting with the Chicago Cubs
tonight. But they are 9-3 against the

against L.A. left to play.
Heck, if San Francisco posts a winning

Ron Washington, who joined the team earlier this season to work with the teams
infielders, specifically shortstop Marcus
Semien.
Right. The third-base coach was the problem with the As, not that gas can of a
bullpen which seems to blow leads almost
nightly. Or, if not blowing it, certainly
doing nothing to keep the As in a game.
Perhaps the As should have parted ways
with pitching coach Curt Young.
Actually, the real culprit is general manager Billy Beane, who put together the roster including the bullpen. But as part
owner of the team, you know he isnt going
anywhere.
One has to wonder if the appointment of
Washington to coach third is just the first

like Del Rio and Tice. Penn said that playing


experience is just an added plus, not a necessity.
That comes into play when a coach tries to
pass on a different technique or strategy to
an experienced player often set in his ways.
Coach Norton played linebacker for
many years. He always says, Ive done it so
you dont have to, middle linebacker Curtis
Lofton said. Theres so much knowledge
hes passing down. You have to be a sponge
and absorb it. Sometimes you want to get
stubborn. But hes done it and hes lost
those battles so we dont have to do it.
Tempering the excitement about the playing experience of the staff is this fact: Only
three of the past 29 Super Bowl champions
were coached by men who played in the NFL,
with Sean Paytons playing career lasting
only a short stint as a replacement player in
1987.
Many of the rest were led by coaching lifers who were better teachers, motivators or
innovators than players, such as Bill
Belichick, Bill Walsh and Bill Parcells.
I believe that guys that didnt play can be
just as good as a coach because they might
have learned things from guys who did
play, rookie receiver Amari Cooper said.
So its not really a huge difference.

Ron Washington promoted to old job as As third base coach


By Janie McCauley
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

OAKLAND Ron Washington


is back in the dugout where he got
his big league start as a coach, promoted to his old position as third
base coach for the Oakland
Athletics on Monday after the club
dismissed Mike Gallego.
Oakland headed into the opener
of a three-game series at Seattle on
Monday night with the worst
record in the American League at
54-71 following three straight
years in the playoffs.
The 63-year-old Washington

spent 11 seasons as an As
coach
before
becoming manager of the
Rangers
in
2007 and leading Texas to a
pair of AL pennants in 2010Ron

SEATTLE Danny Valencia


homered and Stephen Vogt doubled
twice in Oaklands seven-run fifth
inning, and the As climbed out of
a big hole against Hisashi
Iwakuma for an 11-5 victory over
the Mariners on Monday night.
Josh Reddick
also went deep
and drove in
three runs for
the As, who rallied after starter
Felix Doubront
exited early with
a bruised foot.
Danny Valencia The As trailed
5-0 in the fifth
after Iwakuma, who tossed a no-hitter Aug. 12 at Safeco Field against
Baltimore, allowed just one single
through four innings.
Vogt got the outburst started
with a leadoff double. Two outs
later, Billy Burns and Mark Canha
connected on consecutive two-run
doubles to make it 5-4.
Reddick tied it with an infield
single and Valencia hit his 12th
home run, bouncing it off the top
of the left-center wall.
Vogt doubled again before Brett
Lawrie lined out to left field, finally ending the inning.
It was Oaklands second sevenrun inning this season, matching
the eighth on May 1 at Texas.
Iwakuma (5-3) lasted 4 2/3
innings the first time he failed

He allowed seven runs and seven
hits with a walk and four strikeouts.
Edward Mujica (3-4) threw two
hitless innings for the win.
Switch-pitcher Pat Venditte worked
two perfect innings and Drew
Pomeranz finished up as As relievers retired their final 16 batters.
Reddick, who had three hits, hit

Mark Trumbo homered for Seattle.

major league dugout it means to me


you really have an opportunity to
make a difference, Washington
said by text message. That is what
I want to do, make a difference. Im
excited.
He has specialized in working
with infielders on their defense.
His challenge this season has been
helping shortstop Marcus Semien,
who has 31 errors.
Washington was instrumental in
developing the infielders during
his first As stint. Oakland led the
league in fielding in 2004 and 05
and was second in 06.
Washington resigned as Rangers

manager last Sept. 5, saying he


needed to devote his full attention
to an off-the-field personal matter. He later acknowledged he had
broken wife Gerrys trust.
He had hoped to get back into
baseball and then the As came
calling when they needed help with
their struggling defense.
Washington, who played parts
of 10 seasons in the majors as an
infielder for five teams, was popular with the Oakland players and a
key in the development of retired
six-time Gold Glove third baseman
Eric Chavez not to mention
Mark Ellis, Miguel Tejada and

Jason Giambi.
Chavez presented his third Gold
Glove to Washington, who began
coaching in the New York Mets
organization in 1991 and later
managed their Class A club.
Gallego was in his seventh season as third base coach and 19th
overall season with the Oakland
organization, including 12 years
as a player.
Also Monday, the As placed
right-hander Kendall Graveman on
the 15-day disabled list with a
strained left oblique muscle and
recalled infielder Max Muncy from
Triple-A Nashville.

play back. He closed the year with three
triple-digit performances over Aragons last
four regular-season games, including breaking loose for a career-best 220 yards in a 3527 slugfest at San Mateo.
Not only will Wilson be the spotlight
running back, there will be additional shoes
to fill with the void left by graduated maddashing bootleg quarterback Billy Mason.
Senior quarterback Tanner Nguyen, a transplant from Rockport, Texas who served as
Masons backup last year, is a more passintensive arm who prefers working from the
shotgun.
But Wilson, with a glimmer in his eye,
said hes up for shouldering the load of the
run game.
I love it, Wilson said. Ive just got to
take in everything and do what Ive got to
do.
Fueling Wilsons optimism is a front-line
core of size and experience. Offensive tackle Tomislav Medan a 6-2, 245-pound junior has the makings of greatness, according to Sell. Entering into last weeks first
stretch of official practices, Medan was the
only lineman tabbed for two-way duty. He
also serves as a defensive tackle.
Hes going to be one of our all-time
greats, Sell said.
Complimenting Medan up front is a solid
group of seniors, highlighted by an imposing presence in 6-foot, 270-pound guard
Edmund Muller, along with Daniel Romero,
Chase Penn and Chris Haupeakui.
They know the pacing, Wilson said.
Theyre more experienced and I know
they have my back.
With junior guard James Kilcullen also in
the mix, most of the positional assignments on the line, both sides of the ball, are
yet to be determined, Sell said. Such is the
case with Haupeakui, who is taking plenty
of reps on the defensive side of the ball at
nose tackle.
We have an idea of who those eight
(starting linemen) are going to be, Sell
said. Its just a question of where were
going to play them.
Co-defensive coordinators Steve Dixon
and Ashley Parham are certain about the
assignments of their linebacker corps and
secondary though. Aragons 3-4 defense is
structured around a pair of standout linebackers in third-year starting senior Charles
Cao and junior Hati Unga.
The secondary features just one returner in
strong safety Devin Grant, who also sees
offensive reps out of the backfield. But the
senior was an INT machine last year, and
with explosive open-field speed stands as a

looming threat for pick-6s.


We had a really good secondary last year
but three of them graduated, Parham said.
But we have some really good guys coming
up.
The question is, will Aragons offense
contain the interceptions in opening up the
passing game from a year ago?
Were still going to run the ball, obviously, Sell said. But were kind of light on
tight ends and fullbacks, and heavy on
reserve types. So, Im not going to try to fit
a square peg into a round hole.
In laymans terms, the Dons will rely on
the air attack. They played each of their
league games close last year, outscoring all
five Ocean Division opponents by the slim
cumulative margin of 126-95. Now they
will be relying on the untested left arm of
Nguyen to earn his stripes against stingier
Bay Division defenses.
Sell has produced some noteworthy
southpaw quarterbacks in previous years,
most recently Dominic Proia, who helmed
the Dons to their last Bay Division promotion with a strong junior showing in the
Ocean in 2011. The 5-7 lefty converted to
wide receiver as a senior. But height will not
be an issue for Nguyen, as he relies on lightning-fast sophomore targets in wide
receivers Gabe Campos and Jordan Avalos.
We have some exciting sophomore skill
guys, Sell said.

last two years certainly helps.


Burlingame put together two of its best seasons back to back under Philipopoulos. Two
years ago, the Panthers won the Ocean
Division title and went 11-1 overall. After a
move back into the Bay Division, the Panthers
finished second behind Sacred Heart Prep in
2014, going 10-2 in the process.
Can Panthers Nation expect more of the same
this season? It remains to be seen, but chances
are Burlingame will have a say in which school
wins the division championship.
As is usually the case with the Panthers, they
will rely on the ground game offensively and
they should have one of the best backs in the
league in senior back Barry Palu, who enters his
third season on the varsity squad.
Hes a man among boys, Philipopoulos
said during a break at a recent practice.
While Philipopoulos said Palu will be the
workhorse, he will be far from the only one carrying the ball. As is usually the case for the
Panthers, Philipopoulos will have a bevy of
backs who can all be productive. Look for seniors Ben Williams and Jeovani Garcia to also
work into the offensive backfield rotation.
I think we have four, five guys at the running
back position that can step in and play and play
well, Philipopoulos said. Geo especially, if
teams start over-keying on [Palu].
The biggest question mark on offense is at
the quarterback position, where Philipopoulos
has been tasked with replacing Avery Gindraux,
a two-year starter. Cameron Kelaita will get first
crack at it. He may not be as athletic as
Gindraux was, but Philipopoulos believes
Kelaita may be the better pure quarterback.
Avery was much more mobile. He could run
his way out of a problem, Philipopoulos said.
Cameron is much more of a pocket passer.
Hell stand back there and let it rip.
While Kelaita may be entering his first season as a varsity starter, he has definitely shown
he can compete, having quickly moved through
the Burlingame system. Philipopoulos said
Kelaita was moved up to the junior varsity squad
midway through his freshman season and
served as Gindrauxs backup last season.
Cameron is a very intelligent young man,
hes very coachable, Philipopoulos said.
Cameron is much more comfortable operating
within the system we run. He knows what his
strengths are. He knows where to put the ball.
Hell have a nice security blanket in threeyear varsity receiver Cooper Gindraux, who
showed a propensity for making the big play
last season.
The offensive and defensive lines have plenty of experience returning for the Panthers and
an even bigger help is the fact that the team has
depth on both lines.

On the offensive line, center Alex Furr is a
three-year player and will be flanked on his left
by two more returners junior guard Armon
Zizadji, who started as a sophomore last year,
and senior tackle Bazzel Mufarrah, another
returning starter who missed most of last year
with injury. Philipopoulos said the right side of
the line will feature two new starters, but players who have been in the program for four
years.
Look for a number of those offensive linemen to figure into a rotation on the defensive
line as well.
Luckily, we have depth at that position.
Well figure it out. We know were going to need
depth and we know those guys will need rest,
Philipopoulos said. I feel we have at least
eight guys who can work their way in there.
The linebacking corps may be the strength of
the Burlingame defense, with Palu, Will
Costelli and Elijah Urih all returning.
Three seniors starting in the heart of your
defense can never be a bad thing,
Philipopoulos said.
Many of the skill-position players on
offense will also assume defensive back duties
as well.
Running back and defensive back are two
positions we have the most depth at,
Philipopoulos said.
Philipopoulos is not one to pull any punches. There have been years when he believed his
team would struggle and he has said so. He doesnt think this will be one of those years.
Im not the type to sit here and tell you were
great, Philipopoulos said. Im optimistic. I
feel good about this group.

A legalization vote
prompts action on
medical marijuana
By Lisa Less
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO The likelihood that California voters will be


asked to legalize recreational marijuana next year is prompting lawmakers to make a serious run at reining in the states vast medical marijuana industry a job they have
deferred for nearly two decades.
A pair of bills pending in the
California Legislature would create
the first statewide regulations for
medical marijuana growers, manufacturers of pot-infused products,
and distributors such as storefront
dispensaries and delivery services.
California authorized marijuana
use for health purposes with a 1996
ballot measure that allows doctors to
recommend the drug for any ailment,
deliberately leaving the specifics for
how it should be produced and sold
for another day.
With advocates now working to
qualify recreational-use initiatives
for the November 2016 ballot, that
day finally may have arrived.
The state Assembly last month
approved a comprehensive licensing
and oversight scheme on a bipartisan
62-8 vote. A compromise measure to
create the Governors Office of
Medical Cannabis Regulation, AB
266, is endorsed by both the
California
Cannabis
Industry
Association and the California
Police Chiefs Association.

The legalization discussion has


definitely changed the tone of the
conversation,
said
Natasha
Minsker, who directs the ACLU of
Californias advocacy office in
Sacramento. There is real potential
a legalization initiative will set the
tone for regulation and taxation, and
if the Legislature wants to be
involved, now is the time.
The eleventh-hour effort offers a
preview of issues that are likely to
surface during a legalization campaign, from concerns over water use
and drugged driving to questions
around consumer protections and
who will be allowed to apply for
business licenses.
The bill by Assemblyman Rob
Bonta, D-Oakland, requires numerous state agencies to flesh out and
enforce a regulatory framework by
2018.
The California Highway Patrol
would develop a way to determine
when someone is too high to drive,
while the Department of Public
Health would come up with rules for
testing pot products for potency and
toxic chemicals and set limits on
when individuals with felony convictions or newly arrived in
California would be eligible for a
license to grow, process, transport or
sell medical marijuana.
The bill also would create training
standards and labor rights for industry workers a nod to unions
and preserve the right of local gov-

California authorized marijuana use for health purposes with a 1996 ballot measure that allows doctors to

for another day.
ernments to ban cannabis businesses,
which is key to maintaining support
from the League of California Cities
and police chiefs.
This is something that is greatly
needed and long overdue, said
Chula Vista Police Chief David
Bejarano, the police associations
president. We are aware there will
be an initiative on the ballot and if it
is approved, we will have a good
foundation, something to prevent
some of the issues we have had with
medical marijuana.
Gov. Jerry Brown, a Democrat
who has expressed skepticism about
the wisdom of legalizing recreational marijuana use, has not indicated if
he would sign the medical marijuana

legislation if it reaches his desk.


Sen. Mike McGuire, a first-term
Democrat whose 370-mile long
coastal
district
encompasses
Northern Californias prime potgrowing regions, blames the
Legislatures years of inaction on
continuing skepticism over marijuanas medical value, law enforcement
resistance and industry doubts.
Noting there is no guarantee that
California voters will go for full
legalization, McGuire introduced
his own medical marijuana bill.
SB643 would establish an office
within
the
state
Business,
Consumer Affairs and Housing
Agency to license medical marijuana businesses and to develop regu-

lations for how they should operate.


It would also require the California
Medical Board to crack down on
doctors who issue medical marijuana
recommendations without a proper
patient exam or valid medical reason
for doing so.
My beef is this: Californias
approach to medical marijuana regulation has been impotent and when
you allow an industry to grow unregulated for as long as we have with
cannabis, we are going to pay the
price, McGuire said. We are inundated with the impacts of this multibillion dollar industry and we cannot
sacrifice our communities, the environment and patient safety any
longer.

herself.
She works in Redwood Shores, attends St.
Matthew Catholic Church in San Mateo and
has lived at El Parque for 12 years.
She told the San Mateo City Council in July
that with the areas skyrocketing rents
theyve gone up more than 50 percent in four
years she has been unable to find somewhere else to live.
The children she cares for, though, hatched
an idea Friday to hold a fundraiser at Marlin
Park in Redwood Shores to raise money so
their nanny can continue to care for them five
days a week.
Ron, 10, and Natalie, 8, were busy Monday
selling lemonade and cookies to park visitors
and giving interviews to television and newspaper reporters.
Gonzalez has worked with the children
since Ron was a baby.
I know she doesnt have enough money to
pay rent. She doesnt have money so we are
trying to raise rent. She got kicked out of her
apartment, Ron said. Im scared she will
have to move away. I want her to remain our
nanny.
The childrens mother, Ilanit Romin, said
the children came up with the idea and that
they wanted to surprise their nanny.

financed by the Measure J bond, which has
been plagued by work delays and myriad
financial issues.
Of foremost concern to residents living near
Buri Buri Elementary, 120 El Campo Drive, is
a large dirt mound on the campus facing an
adjacent street, which is spewing dust and
grime into the surrounding neighborhood.
Resident Robert Richardson said he was
worried about the neighbors living near the
construction at the school campus, as well as
the students who are enrolled in classes while
the building continues.
The large pile of dirt is really, truly out of
hand, he said.
District spokesman Ryan Sebers said the
district has worked to get a majority of the
mound covered, and though a portion needs
to stay exposed because it is constantly
being used for projects, workers are constantly hosing it down regularly to reduce

BILL SILVERFARB/DAILY JOURNAL

Reyna Gonzalez has been caring for Ron and his sister since they were both babies. She was
brought to tears by the childrens efforts to raise money for her to pay the rent.
Reyna is like a family member, Ilanit
said. The kids are learning to help people
who are in trouble. This is the first step. They
are starting little but are learning to lend a
hand to anybody whos in trouble.
She spoke these words as Gonzalez was rescuing Natalie, who climbed a bit too high in

one of the parks trees.


Moments later, she escorted Ron out of the
sun and into the shade. The family lives within walking distance of Marlin Park.
Ron said he would likely be a different person without Gonzalezs influence.
Id probably be a lot meaner and maybe

the amount of dust generated.


The contractor has also hired a street
sweeper vehicle which regularly circulates the
neighborhood near the school, to keep the
roads near homes as clean as possible, said
Sebers.
And to further ease the burden of exposure
to construction, the district plans to purchase
a couple car wash vouchers for all the residents living in the neighborhood near Buri
Buri Elementary, and another batch when
construction is completed, which is estimated
to be next year, said Sebers.
Although school officials were initially
hopeful much of the construction would be
finished prior to classes beginning, unforeseen delays have caused the work at some
campuses to continue into the early weeks of
the new school year.
School officials recently approved transferring roughly $10 million to the Measure J
fund, to backfill a void left by a variety of
financial missteps.
A report from an independent auditor found
in June the district had fallen into an $11 million spending shortfall to complete projects

promised under the $162 million bond which


was passed by voters in 2010.
South San Francisco officials are set to
receive an update on the bond projects
Tuesday, Aug. 25, during a joint meeting
between the City Council and district Board
of Trustees.
City Manager Mike Futrell said he is aware
of the concerns some residents have regarding
the construction, especially the dirt mound,
and is working closely with Superintendent
Shawnterra Moore to see they are addressed.
The superintendent assures me they will
take the steps needed to cover the dirt when it
is not in use, and they will do their utmost to
minimize the effect of the construction, he
said.
Futrell sympathized with the frustration of
the residents exposed to heavy construction in
their neighborhood, but noted the value of the
improved educational services which will be
offered at the new facilities, once they are
completed.
Construction is difficult for homeowners
near any site, he said. Its an annoyance, but
in my mind, its a temporary annoyance.
The update on the Measure J projects to the

not a good listener. Id be more selfish with a


different attitude, Ron said.
He clearly adores his nanny.
For Gonzalez, the lemonade and cookie
stand the children put together brought tears
to her eyes.
They made me cry. It makes me feel like
someone loves me a lot. They want to buy me
a house selling lemonade. They are like my
grandkids, she said.
Daniel Saver, an attorney with Community
Legal Services in East Palo Alto, spoke on
behalf of Gonzalez and the other evicted tenants at 1824 El Parque Court to the San Mateo
City Council in July.
He told the council that a pattern has
evolved in which buildings are sold and new
owners evict for renovations and then boost
the rents. He mentioned the 73-unit Park
Royal apartment complex in San Mateo that is
being renovated now. Every tenant had their
leases terminated and only a handful signed
new leases after the rents went up, in some
cases, nearly $1,000 a month.
Too often I have to say they are allowed to
do this, Saver said about landlords. Its
unjust but not illegal.
Saver and SFOP/PIA have been urging policy changes at the city and county level to
offer more protections to renters.

council was requested by Councilwoman Liza
Normandy, who used to sit on the district
Board of Trustees.
She said the meeting between the city and
school district leadership is valuable in maintaining a strong collaborative relationship
between the two agencies, and addressing
concerns which impact the quality of life for
residents in South San Francisco.
We all want to see Measure J come together and create a better learning environment for
our children and ultimately the best value for
our tax dollars, she said, in an email.
Richardson, who has lived in South San
Francisco for nearly four decades, and sent his
children to schools in the district, said he
would like officials to address the concerns of
residents and students potentially adversely
affected by the construction projects.
I hope we can get this issue taken care of,
he said.

Second cancers are on the rise;


1 in 5 new U.S. cases is a repeat
By Marilynn Marchione
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Second cancers are on the rise. Nearly


1 in 5 new cases in the U.S. now
involves someone who has had the disease before.
When doctors talk about second cancers, they mean a different tissue type
or a different site, not a recurrence or
spread of the original tumor.
Judith Bernstein of suburban
Philadelphia is an extreme example.
She has had eight types over the last
two decades, all treated successfully.
There was a while when I was getting one cancer diagnosis after another, including breast, lung, esophageal,
and the latest a rare tumor of her eyelids, she said. At one point I thought I
had cancer in my little finger.
About 19 percent of cancers in the
United States now are second-or-more
cases, a recent study found. In the
1970s, it was only 9 percent. Over that
period, the number of first cancers rose
70 percent while the number of second
cancers rose 300 percent.
Strange as it may sound, this is partly
a success story: More people are surviving cancer and living long enough to get
it again, because the risk of cancer rises
with age.
Second cancers also can arise from
the same gene mutations or risk factors,
such as smoking, that spurred the first
one. And some of the very treatments
that help people survive their first cancer, such as radiation, can raise the risk
of a new cancer forming later in life,
although treatments have greatly
improved in recent years to minimize
this problem.
Psychologically, a second cancer
often is more traumatizing than the first.
I think its a lot tougher for most
people, said Julia Rowland, director of
the federal Office of Cancer
Survivorship. The first time youre
diagnosed, its fear of the unknown.

When you have your next diagnosis, its


fear of the known, and having to face
treatment all over again.
Robert Ulrich, 58, a contractor and
building inspector in Wasilla, Alaska,
said that when doctors told him in 2013
he had advanced colon cancer, two
decades after he had overcome Hodgkin
lymphoma, it was like they put a time
stamp on your existence ... it makes
your head spin.
He is making end-of-life plans while
fighting the disease with aggressive
chemotherapy.
My outlook on it is, I got 30 years
out of the first go-round which gave me
an opportunity to raise my family and
enjoy my bride. So whatever time I get
forward here I consider free time, he
said. You hope for the best and you
prepare for the worst.
Imagine what it has been like for
Bernstein, 72, the Philadelphia-area
woman who has had skin, lymphoma,
breast, two types of lung, esophageal,
thyroid and now the eyelid cancer, a
form of lymphoma.
Im not going to tell you Im some
uber human being, Bernstein said. She
went to a psychiatrist after one diagnosis and spent four days very upset
after the latest one.
But she said that exercising has
helped her feel well through treatments,
and that having endured many tragedies
among her friends and family has given
her resilience. Some people just can
grieve and deal with it when faced
with challenges like cancer, she said.
She is so upbeat, said Barbara
Rogers, a nurse practitioner at Fox
Chase Cancer Center who has treated
Bernstein for more than a decade. For
most patients, it is harder the second
time around, or third or fourth ... like,
Oh, God, not again.
Medically, second cancers pose special challenges. Treatment choices may
be more limited. For example, radiation
usually isnt given to the same area of

the body more than once. Some drugs
also have lifetime dose limits to avoid
nerve or heart damage.
The body has a memory for the radiation or chemotherapy and cant
endure too much of the same type, said
Dr. Alan Venook, a colon and liver cancer expert at the University of
California, San Francisco, who treats
Ulrich, the Alaska man.
A second cancer means doctors need
to assess genetic risk to the patient and
possibly the family, Venook said.
Weve failed if a woman who had a
BRCA1 mutation and had breast cancer
develops colon cancer, he said.
The gene mutation means she should
be monitored and screened often
enough for other cancers to have any
precancerous colon growths removed,
he said.

commercial, retail or office developments on the countys housing needs.

With rent in San Mateo County having

This nexus study, I believe, gives cities

different.

signs of a slowdown in China, the worlds
second-largest economy triggered
worries among Wall Street professionals
and ordinary Americans who are saving
for retirement or a down payment on a
house.
With the lease on her car up, health
insurance worker Deirdre Ralph of
Wayne, New Jersey, had planned to get a
less pricey vehicle and invest the savings.
Now shes having doubts.
That money, I wanted to take and put
it toward my retirement, said Ralph, 61.
Should I? Or should I just have a great
old time?
The Dow ended up losing 588.40
points, or 3.6 percent, closing at
15,871.35. As scary as the sell-off was,
the Dows decline doesnt even make the
list of the Top 10 biggest drops in percentage terms.
The Standard & Poors 500 index slid
77.68 points, or 3.9 percent, to 1,893.21,
and is now in correction territory, Wall
Street jargon for a drop of at least 10 percent from a recent peak. The last market

consider inclusionary zoning requirements for rental and for-sale units, as


well as linkage fees for commercial
developments, de Melo said.
With various appellate court cases
affecting what cities can require from
developers, its helpful to have a nexus
study highlighting a link between the
impacts new developments have on a
regions ability to house those who make
lower incomes. Councilman Warren
Lieberman said hes interested to find
out more about the legal possibilities as
Belmont officials have expressed a
strong interest in helping low- and moderate-income earners find housing.
Councilman Charles Stone said hes
looking forward to the discussion and is
optimistic because recent case law supports cities seeking to implement inclusionary zoning in new for-sale property
developments.
Im pleased that the studys been
completed. Im also pleased with the
recent court ruling thats made it more
clear that cities are entitled to have
affordable housing requirements. And
Im hopeful that we can move forward
with some rules that require developments to accommodate low-income and
moderate-income folks whod like to
live in Belmont, Stone said.
There are a variety of options as to
how fees generated from either commercial or residential developments could
contribute to supporting affordable
housing goals. For Foster City, which
has been acting as the lead agency in the
21 Elements and received its report first,

a range of ideas included saving to construct new units and rental subsidy programs.
Stone, who previously suggested the
city consider partnering with nonprofit
affordable housing developers to create
more workforce housing in Belmont,
said such fees could support seniors,
teachers and public employees.
While Belmont cannot address the
Bay Areas affordability housing crisis
on its own, councilmembers said its
important to contribute toward a solution.
I think cities up and down the
Peninsula, as well as San Francisco and
San Jose, have to all play their role in
helping to find a solution to one of the
worst affordability crises weve ever
seen in terms of housing, Stone said.
Vice Mayor Eric Reed agreed, adding
a more collaborative approach to the
problem is needed.
Making sure that there is affordable
housing is a regional issue and the solution therefore has to be regional, Reed
said. So I anticipate working with other
jurisdictions in San Mateo County to
address this problem. No single city can
do it on its own.

All three major indexes are down for


the year.
There is a lot of fear in the markets,
said Bernard Aw, market strategist at IG.
U.S. stocks have been on a bull run for
more than six years, after bottoming out
in March 2009 in the aftermath of the
financial crisis and the Great Recession.
The rout began in China last week and
continued on Monday, when the countrys main stock index sank 8.5 percent.
China concerns aside, U.S. stocks have
been primed for a sell-off for several
months, said Jim Paulsen, chief investment strategist and economist for Wells
Capital Management.
Ive been of the view since late last
year that this market is in a vulnerable
position, he said. Its gone almost
straight up for six years.
Stocks have kept rising even as corporate earnings growth has slowed. The
price-earnings ratio for the S&P 500, a
measure of how much investors are willing to pay for each dollar of company
earnings, climbed as high as 17.2 in
March. That was the highest level in at
least a decade, according to FactSet.
The Dow plummeted 1,089 points
Monday within the first four minutes of
the opening bell as traders dumped
shares. But a wave of buying by bargainhunters cut the Dows losses by half just
five minutes later.

The U.S. market slide was broad. The


10 sectors in the S&P 500 headed lower,
with energy stocks recording the biggest
decline, 5.2 percent, amid a slump in the
price of oil. The sector is down almost 25
percent this year.
U.S. Treasurys surged as investors
bought less risky assets. The yield on the
benchmark 10-year note fell to 2.01 percent from 2.04 percent.
Oil, commodities and the currencies of
many developing countries also tumbled
on concerns that a slowdown in China
might hurt economic growth around the
globe. Crude oil closed below $40 a barrel for the first time since early 2009.
Gold and silver also fell.
In Europe, Germanys DAX stock
index fell 4.7 percent, while the CAC-40
in France slid 5.4 percent. The FTSE 100
index of leading British shares dropped
4.7 percent.
In Asia, Japans Nikkei index fell 4.6
percent, its worst one-day drop since in
over 2 1/2 years. Hong Kongs Hang
Seng index fell 5.2 percent, Australias
S&P ASX/200 slid 4.1 percent, and South
Koreas Kospi lost 2.5 percent.
The Shanghai index suffered its biggest
percentage decline in 8 1/2 years. China
is facing a slowdown in economic
growth, the banking system is short of
cash, and investors are pulling money out
of the country.

IS destruction of
old Syrian temple
erases rich history
By Sarah El Deeb
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BEIRUT The destruction of


the nearly 2,000-year-old temple of
Baalshamin by Islamic State militants erased a symbol of the once
rich religious life of Syrias ancient
caravan city of Palmyra and left residents, archaeologists and historians
fearful that the extremists will
destroy more of the rich site, including an even larger more ancient
temple nearby.
The U.N. cultural agency
UNESCO on Monday called the
destruction of the temple a war
crime. For archaeologists, it deepened their despair and frustration
over the systematic destruction of
Syrias heritage in the countrys
civil war, not only by the extremists
but by government forces, who
have bombed and looted historic
sites since the conflict began in
2011.
No pictures have yet emerged of
the extent of the destruction of the
temple. One resident told the
Associated Press he saw it after it
was blown up Sunday and said it
was reduced to rocks on the
ground, nothing more.
The witness, who goes by the
name Nasser al-Thaer, said the
bombing took place Sunday shortly
after 4pm. The militants had lined

the inner and outer walls of the temple with bottles of explosives more
than a month ago, he said.
I went to see it, not from very
close because IS (militants) were
there and because I was worried for
myself and afraid they will ask me
what are you doing here. So I saw it
from a distance, al-Thaer told the
AP.
He said he feared other ancient
sites in Palmyra might be next,
though so far no explosives have
been placed around them.
An IS operative confirmed the
temple was destroyed and said a
statement would be issued soon. He
spoke to the AP over Skype on condition of anonymity because members of the group are not allowed to
speak to media.
The temple, a structure of giant
stone blocks several stories high
fronted by six towering columns,
was dedicated to a god of storm and
rain the name means literally
Lord of the Heavens part of a
sprawling Roman-era complex that
includes other remains of temples to
local gods and goddesses, including
the even larger and slightly older
Temple of Bel.
In ancient times, the city grew
rich sitting on caravan routes crossing east and west, eventually coming under Roman rule. In the modern day, it is one of the best pre-

A general view shows the temple of Baalshamin in the historical city of Palmyra, Syria.The Islamic States demolition

symbol of the countrys diversity, the U.N. cultural agency UNESCO said.
served ancient cities in the world
and among the most popular tourist
sites in the Middle East.
The Islamic State group, which
has imposed a violent interpretation
of Islamic law across its selfdeclared caliphate straddling Syria
and Iraq, says such ancient relics
promote idolatry. It has already
blown up several sites in neighboring Iraq, and it is also believed to
sell looted antiquities. The group
had seized control of Palmyra, in
the central deserts of Syria, in May.
Kishore Rao, Director of the
UNESCO World Heritage Centre,
said Palmyras soaring architecture
was a masterpiece of human cre-

ative genius.
The destruction of any part of it
is equally deplorable, Rao told the
Associated Press. Rao said while
efforts to stop the looting and selling on the black market have been
launched, it was difficult to stop the
destruction.
We dont have people on the
ground who can prevent that, he
said. Very difficult to prevent
unless you appeal to the consciousness of these people, and the international community needs to come
together and speak with one voice,
he said.

hack might have led to suicides
TORONTO The hacking of the cheating
website Ashley Madison has triggered extortion crimes and led to two unconfirmed
reports of suicides, Canadian police said
Monday.
The company behind Ashley Madison is
offering a $500,000 Canadian (U.S. $378,000)
reward for information leading to the arrest of
members of a group that hacked the site.
Hackers last week released detailed records
on millions of people registered with the website, a month after a break-in at Ashley

University
in
Ohio,
said
Baalshamin is the most significant
site destroyed by the group inside
Syria.
IS has used the ancient city has
cover to avoid airstrikes from the
international coalition against its
locations, he said. It also used its
Roman amphitheater as a stage
when it killed 20 captured Syrian
soldiers.
The ruins, located on the outskirts
of the modern city of Palmyra, had
already been badly damaged by
government troops during fighting
in the area since the start of the conflict.

Madisons parent company, Toronto-based
Avid Life Media Inc. The website, whose slogan is, Life is short. Have an affair, is marketed to facilitate extramarital affairs.
Toronto Police acting staff Superintendent
Bryce Evans said the hack is having an enormous social and economic fallout.
This hack is one of the largest data breaches in the world, Evans said. This is affecting
all of us. The social impact behind this leak,
were talking about families, were talking
about children, were talking about wives,
their male partners.
