MANNING GUILTY OF 20 CHARGES,NOT AIDING THE
ENEMY
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
San Mateo City Manager Susan Loftus
announced her retirement in an email dis-
tributed to city staff last night.
A press release from her ofce was sent
out at about 7:30 p.m. detailing the reasons
for her retirement and listing her accom-
plishments over a more than 25-year career
with the city.
Serving as San
Mateos city manager
during the last ve years
has been both an honor
and a challenge, Loftus
wrote in a statement.
She replaced Arne
Croce as the citys top
boss when he retired in
2008 just as the economy started to tank,
forcing the city to cut staff and drastically
trim its budget.
Two temporary tax measures Loftus spear-
headed, however, have helped reduce the
citys decit and spared the need for addi-
tional layoffs the past couple of budget
cycles.
After accepting the city manager posi-
tion in the summer of 2008, no one could
have imagined the economic downturn
which occurred. I am proud of the accom-
plishments of the City Council, executive
team and organization during this time.
With resident support of a temporary sales
tax measure and combined with substantial
budget restructuring, we have made signi-
cant progress in meeting our nancial sus-

City bond
debt to be
paid early
Half Moon Bay using insurance settlement
money for Beachwood Development
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Half Moon Bay ofcials have saved the city about $12
million by applying insurance settlement money related to
the botched Beachwood Development toward paying down
a court-ordered settlement that forced the city to seek bonds
to pay off a disgruntled developer.
The city was on the hook for about $1 million a year until
2029 but city ofcials announced yesterday the debt will be
paid off by 2019 as it has applied $13.15 million in fought-
after proceeds from Insurance Company of the West, which
issued liability policies worth $5 million each back in the
early 1990s.
In the Beachwood litigation, extensive evidence was
introduced showing that a city project constructed in the
mid-1980s, coupled with the failure to maintain drainage
improvements, contributed to the emergence of wetlands on
Chatty iPhone thief jailed again
By Bill Silverfarb
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Chatty iPhone thief Nicholas Simat did
not make it to his sentencing hearing in
San Mateo County Superior Court yester-
day morning because he is currently
locked up in Marin County jail for
allegedly stealing a laptop computer
from an auto dealership in San Rafael

With rents rising above $2,000 a
month for a one-bedroom unit, non-
profit and government officials are
strategizing ways to ensure residents
wont get priced out of the area.
I dont think most people know
that this rent crisis is a problem
because you just hear how the econo-
my is booming, said Kate Comfort
Harr, executive director of HIP
Housing, a San Mateo County non-
prot specializing in affordable hous-
ing programs. Those who are lower
income are having an even harder time
because services that help make the
community healthy and strong are
being cut back. Also, foreclosures
took people out of homes and put them
in the rental market.
HIP Housing released a report last
week illustrating the growing need.
That report came from San Mateo
County Department of Housing data
that showed the average market rent
for a one-bedroom apartment is now
$2,053 a month an 8.2 percent
increase from last year. There was also
a 9.7 percent increase in renting a two-
bedroom apartment, with an average of
$2,337 rent price.
Comfort Harr said shes seen a 15
percent increase in people using HIP
services in the last year and worries
about locals quality of life being
affected by the high rent prices, forc-
ing some to commute from elsewhere
to work in San Mateo County.
Such cut services include the Silicon
Valley Community Foundations
recent announcement it will be cutting
all funding to its Safety Net Service
granting program after this year. More
than 37 food and shelter agencies in
San Mateo and Santa Clara counties are
impacted by the decision.
Meanwhile, the countys homeless
rate has risen 12 percent since 2011,
according to a report from the countys
Health and Human Services Agency.

Chewing gum has been banned in
Singapore since 1992. People are
allowed to chew gum, but the ban pre-
vents the import and sale of chewing
gum.
***
In 1888, Tutti-Frutti was the rst brand
of gum sold in a vending machine. The
machine was in a New York City subway
station.
***
Gumballs and gumball machines were
introduced in 1907.
***
Native Americans had their own version
of chewing gum. They chewed the resin
of spruce trees. Settlers from Europe
adopted the habit. The rst gum sold
commercially in America was lumps of
spruce resin.
***
While selling baking powder in
Chicago in 1892, William Wrigley Jr.
(1861-1932) had a unique incentive for
buyers: he gave away two packs of gum
with each can of baking powder sold.
The gum was so popular that Wrigley
began selling it full time.
***
The original Doublemint twins were
models Jayne and Joan Boyd (born
1938) from Indiana. Starting in 1959 to
1963, the twins appeared in 12 televi-
sion commercials for Wrigleys
Doublemint gum. They stopped doing
the commercials in 1963 when Joan
became pregnant.
***
Astick of gum weighs three grams.
***
True or false: The U.S. government
includes chewing gum in rations for
soldiers. See answer at end.
***
Here are tips to blowing big bubbles
from the experts at Dubble Bubble.
Chew at least ve chunks of gum with a
teaspoon of peanut butter. Chew for ve
minutes to dissolve the sugar. Sugar
does not stretch, so too much sugar
might collapse the bubble. Take a deep
breath and blow.
***
The largest bubble blown with gum was
23 inches in diameter. Susan Williams
of Fresno blew it in 1994.
***
Gary Duschl (born 1951) of Virginia
has been making a continuous chain of
gum wrappers since 1965. Made of
more than 1 million wrappers, it is the
longest chain of gum wrappers in the
world 8.7 miles long! Duschl contin-
ues to add about three feet to the chain
every night.
***
The name of the zebra on packages of
Fruit Stripe gum is Yipes.
***
In 1938, a company called Topps began
selling chewing gum. In 1950, Topps
added trading cards into packages of
gum to increase sales. The rst trading
cards pictured television cowboy
Hopalong Cassidy. In 1952 baseball
trading cards were introduced. That year,
gum was sold with rookie cards for
Mickey Mantle (1931-1995) and Willie
Mays (born 1931).
***
All brands of chewing gum are made
with the same basic ingredients. The
average stick of gum is made up of 20
percent gum base, 60 percent sugar, 19
percent corn syrup and 1 percent avor-
ing.
***
For the past 40 years, Bazooka Bubble
Gum has offered prizes to people who
send in Bazooka comics. In the 1960s,
some of the premium prizes were micro-
phones, microscopes and bicycles.
Todays prizes are baseballs, Bazooka
Joe bobbleheads and mousepads.
***
Wrigleys Extra sugarfree gum was
introduced in 1984. The most recent
new avors of Extra gum are Polar Ice,
Wildberry Frost and Sour Apple.
***
The ingredients used to replace sugar
and corn syrup in sugarfree gum are
aspartame, mannitol and sorbitol.
***
Nicorette, a sugar-free gum that con-
tains nicotine, helps smokers quit
smoking by controlling their nicotine
cravings. When a person quits smok-
ing, it is recommended that they chew
one piece of gum per hour. Two months
later, they should only chew one piece
of gum every six hours.
***
Answer: True. Chewing gum has been
supplied in eld and combat rations to
American soldiers since World War I.
Chewing gum helps people stay alert
and reduces tension.

A bed bug scare has forced Goodwill
Industries to shut down two Bay Area ware-
houses and dispose of loads of donated
goods, a spokesman said Tuesday.
The infestation, which was confirmed in
Goodwills San Francisco warehouse by
bug-sniffing dogs on Monday, was con-
fined to an isolated area of the 30,000-
square-foot storage facility at 11th and
Mission streets, said Tim Murray, director
of brand and marketing for Goodwill in San
Francisco, San Mateo and Marin counties.
Exterminators will tent and treat the
affected area, which is approximately 20
square feet, in the coming days, he said.
On Wednesday, bug experts will be
inspecting the Burlingame warehouse at
1215 California Drive, where bed bugs
were reportedly spotted over the weekend.
In the meantime, Goodwill has disposed
of loads of donated goods that were stored
near the infested areas, and steam-cleaned
hundreds of pounds of garments, textiles
and fabrics that were kept in the same facil-
ities, Murray said.
Were going way beyond what we have
to for the health and safety of our team
members and customers, Murray said.
This is a really unfortunate occurrence
that has befallen us.
Murray said 15 boxes containing 40
cubic yards of donated goods enough to
fill a tractor-trailer were removed from
the Burlingame facility and thrown out.
Were taking no risks, he said, adding
that the outbreak could cost Goodwill hun-
dreds of thousands of dollars in lost inven-
tory and other expenses.
This is an enormous financial hit for
us, he said.
So far, no bed bugs have been detected in
any of Goodwills 21 retail stores through-
out San Francisco, Marin and San Mateo
counties, all of which remain open for
business. Retail sales account for more
than 80 percent of Goodwills operations,
Murray said.
However, the outbreak has interrupted
Goodwills nonprofit job training services
and could force the organization to dispose
of tons of donated goods, depending on
how much of the Burlingame warehouse
if any is found to be infested, he said.
Regardless, the organization will do
whatever is necessary to protect the public,
Murray said.
The bug stops here, he said. Well do
whatever it takes to isolate the outbreak.
Murray said that anyone considering
donating goods should never do so if they
suspect their property is infested.
Anyone wishing to support Goodwill
finically can donate online at sfgood-
will.org.

Family Owned & Operated

MILLBRAE
Have you ever
attended a funeral
or memorial service
and felt ill-at-ease,
uncomfortable or
awkward when
talking to the family
of the deceased? Have you ever stumbled
through your words and condolences
because you just didnt know what to say or
how to say it? Have you even decided to not
approach the family for fear of saying the
wrong thing or making a fool of yourself? If
so you are not alone. Many people in this
situation want to provide some kind of
comfort to the immediate family, but just
dont have the verbal tools to do so in an
assuring manner.
Learning Funeral Etiquette can be
useful. Using the right words at the right
time is an appropriate way to show that you
care, and in situations like this can be of
great help when provided correctly.
Standard condolences such as I am sorry
for your loss have become routine and
generic. A personalized phrase can be
welcomed such as John touched many
lives or I will miss John. DO NOT ask
the cause of death, offer advice or make
comments that would diminish the
importance of the loss such as Oh, youre
young and can marry again.
Other ways to demonstrate your support
include: 1. Listening. The family may feel
the need to express their anxiety, and giving
them that opportunity can be therapeutic; 2.
An embrace. This can show that you care
without the need for words; 3. Offering your
services. This shows the family that you are
willing to give extra time for them: Please
let me know if there is anything I can do to
help (be prepared to act if needed).
Even if you dont feel confident in
approaching the family there are other ways
to show that you care: 1. Attending the
funeral and signing the Memorial Book will
show the family that you took the time to be
there in support; 2. Dressing appropriately
for the funeral will demonstrate your efforts
to prepare for this special occasion (dark
colors are no longer a requisite for funerals,
but dressing in a coat, tie, dress or other
attire that youd wear to any special event
are considered a way of showing you care);
3. In certain cases friends are invited to
stand up and offer BRIEF personal feelings.
Prior to the funeral write a few key notes
and reflections which will help you organize
your thoughts. Even if there is no
opportunity to speak before a group you
may have a chance to offer your thoughts to
the family following the ceremony; 4. A
personalized card or note will help you
arrange your words better and can be kept
by the family. If you dont have their
mailing address you can send your envelope
to the funeral home and they will forward it
to the next of kin; 5. Providing flowers is a
long time tradition, or making a charitable
donation in the deceaseds memory will give
the family a strong sense of your regards; 6.
If appropriate a brief phone call can show
your immediate concern, but generally this
should be avoided to give the family the
privacy they may need.
If you ever wish to discuss cremation,
funeral matters or want to make pre-
planning arrangements please feel free to

THE HIGHLANDS in Millbrae at (650)

Child prostitution
sweep leads to other arrests
A nationwide sweep that resulted in the
arrest of 17 Bay Area pimps earlier this
week and the rescue of 12 children who were
forced into prostitution also resulted in the
arrest of at least 10 prostitutes and one pimp
by San Mateo police on Thursday and Friday
nights, according to police.
San Mateo police committed more than a
dozen ofcers, detectives and supervisors
toward the collective effort of Operation
Cross Country which resulted in the arrest of
150 pimps nationwide and the rescue of 105
children.
San Mateo police secured an undercover
location for the operation, and arranged for
meetings with possible prostitutes over two
nights. In addition to 10 adult prostitution
arrests, the second night of the operation
resulted in the arrest of one pimp who trans-
ported a suspected prostitute to the under-
cover location.
Yu Yuan, a 25 year-old resident of San
Jose, was ultimately booked in San Mateo
County Jail on a felony pimping charge.
Alameda de las
Pulgas faces road closures
Belmont will start a Sanitary Sewer
Rehabilitation Project to improve the aging
and decient sewer infrastructure starting
Monday, Aug. 5.
The project will consist of replacing the
existing sewer pipe with new pipe by con-
structing a 10- to- 15-feet deep trench in the
center of the Alameda de las Pulgas right-of-
way between Arbor and Sharon avenues and
on Arbor Avenue at Alameda de las Pulgas.
As the new pipe is constructed, house lat-
erals will be reconnected, manholes will be
rehabilitated, and nally the pavement will
be restored.
Access to the area will be blocked during
the working hours and pedestrians will be
escorted through the construction area by
the contractors crews during the work hours
when conditions are deemed safe to do so.
This project will most likely affect resi-
dents in the immediate construction area,
and those traveling through Alameda de las
Pulgas as follows:
Alameda de las Pulgas between Sharon
Arbor avenues as well as Arbor Avenue at
Alameda de las Pulgas will be closed to
through trafc from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. for a
period of approximately three to four
weeks. There will be detours available
including the following options:
Cipriani Boulevard to Ralston Avenue;
Arbor Avenue to Notre Dame Avenue to
Alameda de las Pulgas;
Notre Dame Avenue to Arbor Avenue to
Alameda de las Pulgas; and
Arthur Avenue to Coronet Boulevard to
Alameda de las Pulgas.
Garbage pickup time will be changed for
certain areas during the street closure. The
residents affected by this change have been
notied with details about their service.
Airline employee, wife
arrested after allegedly stealing
diverted passengers luggage
An airline employee appeared in a
Redwood City court Friday after he was
accused of stealing lug-
gage from travelers
whose ight was diverted
after the deadly Asiana
Airlines Flight 214 crash
at San Francisco
International Airport ear-
lier this month.
Sean Crudup, 44, a
United Airlines customer
service representative at
the airport, pleaded not
guilty to grand theft and
second-degree burglary
charges Friday, accord-
ing to the San Mateo
County district attor-
neys ofce.
His wife, Raychas
Thomas, 32, is scheduled
to be arraigned Aug. 26.
Crudup and Thomas
were arrested after vic-
tims who were supposed to y into SFO on
July 8 were diverted because of the plane
crash on July 6, according to prosecutors.
The runway where the crash occurred was
closed for nearly a week after the incident,
which left three dead and injured 180 pas-
sengers and crewmembers. During the shut-
down there were hundreds of canceled ights
and lengthy delays in and out of the airport.
The victims luggage had not been divert-
ed and arrived at SFO.
When the victims went to pick up their
bags they found they were missing, accord-
ing to prosecutors.

NEWYORK New York Citys crackdown
on big, sugary sodas is staying on ice.
An appeals court ruled Tuesday that the
citys Board of Health exceeded its legal
authority and acted unconstitutionally when
it tried to put a size limit on soft drinks served
in city restaurants.
In a unanimous opinion, the four-judge
panel of the state Supreme Court Appellate
Division said that the health board was acting
too much like a legislature when it created the
limit, which would have stopped sales of non-
diet soda and other sugar-laden beverages in
containers bigger than 16 ounces.
The judges wrote that while the board had
the power to ban inherently harmful food-
stuffs from being served to the public, sweet-
ened beverages didnt fall into that category.
They also said the board appeared to have
crafted much of the new rules based on politi-
cal or economic considerations, rather than
health concerns. The citys law department
promised a quick appeal.
Todays decision is a temporary setback,
and we plan to appeal this decision as we con-
tinue the ght against the obesity epidemic,
Mayor Michael Bloomberg said in a state-
ment.
New Yorks effort to cap soda portions has
drawn national attention, whether from diet
companies lauding it as a groundbreaking
step in Americas war on extra weight or from
late-night TV hosts ribbing Bloomberg as a
nutrition nanny.

The House Tuesday passed an
amendment by U. S. Rep. Jacki e
Spei er, D-San Mateo, to the
Transportation, Housing and
Urban Devel opment, and
Rel ated Agenci es
Appropri at i ons Ac t , 2014,
requiring the Federal Avi at i on Administration t o
study and determine whether existing commercial aircraft

systems.
The amendment is in response to the Asiana Ai rl i nes
Fl i ght 214 from Incheon, South Korea, which crashed
on its nal approach to San Francisco International
Airport July 6. Initial reports have illustrated that low-
airspeed was a crucial factor in this crash. The FAA will
have one year to complete this study and make a determi-
nation if both new aircraft and existing aircraft should be
required to incorporate a verbal warning system, accord-
ing to Speiers ofce.

SAN DIEGO A 25-year old col-
lege student has reached a $4.1 mil-
lion settlement with the federal gov-
ernment after he was abandoned in a
windowless Drug Enforcement
Administration cell for more than
four days without food or water, his
attorneys said Tuesday.
The DEAintroduced national deten-
tion standards as a
result of the ordeal
involving Daniel
Chong, including
daily inspections
and a requirement
for cameras in
cells, said Julia
Yoo, one of his
lawyers.
Chong said he
drank his own urine to stay alive,
hallucinated that agents were trying
to poison him with gases through
the vents, and tried to carve a
farewell message to his mother in his
arm.
It remained unclear how the situa-
tion occurred, and no one has been
disciplined, said Eugene Iredale,
another attorney for Chong. The
Justice Departments inspector gen-
eral is investigating.
It sounded like it was an accident
a really, really bad, horrible acci-
dent, Chong said.

SAN FRANCISCO A U.S. Army
soldier from San Francisco is set to be
buried more than 60 years after his
death at a Korean War prison camp.
Army Sgt. 1st Class Joseph
Steinberg will be buried on Thursday
with full military honors in the same
plot as his brothers at the Golden Gate
National Cemetery in San Bruno. His
remains were returned to his family in
the San Francisco Bay Area on
Tuesday.
I dont know that there are words to
describe the feelings I have. Its like a
miracle, Marlene Baisa, Steinbergs
niece, said.
Steinbergs remains were among
those of hundreds of U.S. service mem-
bers that were turned over by North
Korea in the early 1990s.
In 2006, the Department of Defense
asked relatives, including Steinbergs ,
to provide blood samples to help iden-
tify the bodies.
Steinbergs family members were
told earlier this year that mitochondri-
al DNA testing and dental records had
led to a match.
I hate to use the word closure, but I
think this is it, Baisa said. Hell be
with his brothers now, and we wont
have to worry about where he is and
what happened to him. Now we know
the whole story.
Steinbergs family long knew he
died of malnutrition at the prison camp
through accounts from other service
members. He had been captured and
taken prisoner after the Chinese Army
attacked U.S. troops near Hoengsong,
South Korea in February 1951.
Steinberg was marched to Suan Bean
Camp in North Korea, where he died at
the age of 31, according to the
Chronicle.
He grew up in San Franciscos
Mission District before being drafted
by the U.S. Army in World War II. He
fought in the Philippines and New
Guinea during the war. He rejoined the
Army after struggling to nd a job,
Baisa said, and was posted in Japan
before the Korean War broke out.
In a letter to a sister from Japan, he
said he wanted to earn a pension so he
didnt have to worry about food and
where to sleep.

EPA plane crash settles lawsuit
A day-care center operator whose home
was badly damaged in the crash of a small
private plane in East Palo Alto in 2010 has
settled a lawsuit she filed against the
deceased pilots estate and his employer.
Lisa Jones and six other family members
and employees filed the lawsuit against the
estate of Douglas Bourn and Palo Alto-
based Tesla Motors Inc. in Santa Clara
County Superior Court in 2010.
The settlement was recorded in the
courts docket on July 3. It averted a trial
that had been scheduled for July 8.
Jones lawyer, Charles Eshoo, and
Teslas lawyer, Timothy Ryan, could not be
reached for comment.
Donald Honigman, a lawyer for Bourns
estate, said, The docket speaks for itself,
but said he could not comment on any
details of that settlement or three other
lawsuits that have been settled.
Jones family house on Beech Street was
partly destroyed when it was hit by a wing
of a Cessna 310 piloted by Bourn as that
plane crashed on the morning of Feb. 17,
2010. Jones had operated a day care center,
Eppies Day Care, in an adjacent building.
Bourn, 56, of Santa Clara, a senior elec-
trical engineer with Tesla Motors, and pas-
sengers Brian Finn, 42, of East Palo Alto,
and Andrew Ingram, 31, of Palo Alto, who
also worked for the electric car maker, were
all killed in the crash.
Court: Grants dad
can sue officer who killed son
A federal appeals court says Oscar
Grants father can sue the Northern
California transit officer who shot and
killed his son on a train platform.
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on
Tuesday rejected former officer Johannes
Mehserles claim that he was acting in his
official capacity when he killed the
younger Grant during a 2009 New Years
Day melee captured on video by several
bystanders.
Violent demonstrations ensued after the
videos showing the white officer shooting
the unarmed black man were viewed by mil-
lions online.
The appeals court said its up to a jury to
determine whether Mehserle was justified
in shooting Grant in the back as he lay face
down on the train platform.

WASHINGTON President Barack
Obama, seeking to break Washingtons
fiscal stalemate, is proposing cutting cor-
porate tax rates in exchange for more
spending on jobs programs. But his offer
was immediately panned by congressional
Republicans, casting doubts about its
prospects.
The White House painted the new offer as
a way for Washington to create jobs and
generate short-term economic growth
even as hopes for a grand deficit reduction
deal fade. Obama was to announce his pro-
posals Tuesday during a trip to an
Amazon.com distribution center in
Chattanooga, Tenn.
We should be looking for other avenues
of progress, other grand bargains that
can be for middle class job growth, White
House economist Gene Sperling said.
The president has previously insisted
such business tax reform be coupled with
an individual tax overhaul. His new offer
drops that demand and calls only for low-
ering the corporate rate from 35 percent to
28 percent, with an even lower effective
tax rate of 25 percent for manufacturers.
Obama wants those rate changes to be
coupled with significant spending on
some sort of job creation program, such as
manufacturing, infrastructure or communi-
ty colleges.
Congressional Republicans have also
long insisted on tying corporate and
individual tax reform so that small busi-
ness owners who use the individual tax
code would be offered cuts along with
l arge corporat i ons. But t hey oppose
using the revenue generated from
changes in the corporate tax structure for
government spending programs.
This proposal allows President Obama
to support President Obamas position on
taxes and President Obamas position on
spending, while leaving small businesses
and American families behind, said
Michael Steel, a spokesman for House
Speaker John Boehner.
Obama proposes grand bargain for jobs
By Dina Cappiello
WASHINGTON President Barack
Obamas top environmental ofcial wasted
no time Tuesday taking on opponents of the
administrations plan to crack down on
global warming pollution.
In her rst speech as the head of EPA, Gina
McCarthy told an audience gathered at
Harvard Law School in Cambridge, Mass.,
that curbing climate-altering pollution will
spark business innovation, grow jobs and
strengthen the economy. The message was
classic Obama, who has long said that the
environment and the economy arent in
conict and has sold ambitious plans to
reduce greenhouse gases as a means to jump-
start a clean energy economy.
McCarthy signaled
Tuesday that she was
ready for the ght, say-
ing that the agency would
continue issuing new
rules, regardless of
claims by Republicans
and industry groups that
under Obama the EPAhas
been the most aggressive
and overreaching since it
was formed more than 40 years ago.
Can we stop talking about environmen-
tal regulations killing jobs? Please, at least
for today, said McCarthy, referring to one
of the favorite talking points of
Republicans and industry groups.
Lets talk about this as an opportunity of
a lifetime, because there are too many life-
times at stake, she said of efforts to address
global warming.
In Obamas rst four years, the EPA has
issued the rst-ever limits on toxic mercury
pollution from power plants, regulated
greenhouse gases for the rst time, and
updated a host of air pollution health stan-
dards.
McCarthy acknowledged the agency had
been the most productive in its history. But
she said Tuesday that we are not just about
rules and regulations, we are about getting
environmental improvement.
But improvement, she said, could be made
everywhere.
That optimistic vision runs counter to
claims by Republican lawmakers and some
industry groups that more rules will kill
jobs and fossil fuel industries.

FORT MEADE, Md. In a split deci-
sion, U.S. Army Pfc. Bradley Manning
was acquitted Tuesday of aiding the enemy
the most serious charge he faced but
was convicted of espionage, theft and
nearly every other count for giving secrets
to WikiLeaks, a verdict that could see him
spend the rest of his life in prison.
The judge, Army Col. Denise Lind,
deliberated over three days before deliver-
ing a decision that denied the government
a precedent that freedom of press advo-
cates had warned could have broad implica-
tions for leak cases and investigative
journalism about national security issues.
From the courtroom to world capitals,
people struggled to absorb the meaning of
a ruling that cleared the soldier of a charge
of aiding the enemy, which would have
carried a potential life sentence, but con-
victed him of 20 of 22 counts that, togeth-
er, could also mean life behind bars.
Manning faces up to 136 years in prison
if given maximum penalties in a sentenc-
ing hearing that starts Wednesday. It is
expected to last most of August.
The 25-year-old soldier stood quietly at
attention in his dress uniform, flanked by
his attorneys, as the verdict was delivered.
He appeared not to react, though his attor-
ney, David Coombs, smiled faintly when
he heard not guilty on the aiding the
enemy charge.
When the judge was done, Coombs put
his hand on Mannings back and whis-
pered something to him, bringing a slight
smile to the soldiers face.
We won the battle, now we need to go
win the war, Coombs said later, outside
the courtroom. Today is a good day, but
Bradley is by no means out of the fire.
Transparency advocates and legal
experts had mixed opinions on the impli-
cations for the future of leak cases and
investigative journalism in the Internet
age.
The advocacy group Reporters
Without Borders said the verdict was a
chi l l i ng warni ng t o whi st l ebl owers,
against whom the Obama administra-
tion has been waging an unprecedented
offensive, and threatens the future of
investigative journalism because intim-
idated sources might fall quiet.
However, another advocate of less gov-
ernment secrecy, Steven Aftergood of the
Federation of American Scientists, ques-
tioned whether the implications will be so
dire, given the extraordinary nature of the
Manning case.
This was a massive hemorrhage of gov-
ernment records, and its not too surpris-
ing that it elicited a strong reaction from
the government, Aftergood said.
Most journalists are not in the busi-
ness of publishing classified documents,
theyre in the business of reporting the
news, which is not the same thing, he
said. This is not good news for journal-
ism, but its not the end of the world,
either.
Glenn Greenwald, the journalist, com-
mentator and former civil rights lawyer
who first reported Edward Snowdens leaks
of National Security Agency surveillance
programs, said Mannings acquittal on the
charge of aiding the enemy represented a
tiny sliver of justice.
But WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange,
whose website exposed Mannings spilled
U.S. secrets to the world, saw nothing to
cheer in the mixed verdict.
It is a dangerous precedent and an
example of national security extremism,
he told reporters at the Ecuadorean
Embassy in London, which is sheltering
him. This has never been a fair trial.
To prove aiding the enemy, prosecutors
had to show Manning had actual knowl-
edge the material he leaked would be seen
by al-Qaida and that he had general evil
intent. They presented evidence the mate-
rial fell into the hands of the terrorist
group and its former leader, Osama bin
Laden, but struggled to prove their asser-
tion that Manning was an anarchist com-
puter hacker and attention-seeking traitor.
Coombs said during trial that Manning
had no way of knowing whether al-Qaida
would access the secret-spilling website
and a 2008 counterintelligence report
showed the government itself did not
know much about WikiLeaks at the time.
An aiding the enemy charge for someone
who didnt directly give an adversary
information is extremely rare, and prose-
cutors had to cite a Civil War-era court-
martial of a Union soldier when they
brought the charge against Manning.

breach of classied information in the nations history.
OPINION 9
By George Yang
K
ids who were just chilling at
the Foster City VIBE July 19
were treated to a surprise per-
formance. Performing a song and
dance for them was a group of students
from the Beijing Yucai School, a
school founded in the early 1930s by
the teacher of Mao Zedong. Both
hosts and guests had a great time
interacting with each other amidst
sunshine, fresh air and blue water
reecting the blue sky.
There is a larger purpose for the vis-
its by these Chinese students: because
sunshine, fresh air and blue sky have
become a rare commodity in China.
Twenty years ago, when I took the
train from Canton to Hong Kong, rice
paddies and papaya orchards lined the
train tracks. The Pearl River Delta was
one of the most productive farmland
in the world. Now the same areas are
lined with factories, dormitories for
migrant workers and high-rise apart-
ments. Industrial pollution is ram-
pant. While these changes had helped
improve the lives and living stan-
dards of millions and some could
argue these changes are essential in
the modernization of any society
the price has been high.
The problems are enormous. How
does a country the size of China bal-
ance economic progress and poverty
reduction with the needs to protect the
environment? Thankfully, there is
also a growing willingness to discuss
and urgency to
tackle these envi-
ronmental issues in
China. Both the
government and the
people are search-
ing for solutions.
As Americans, we
cannot dictate to
China what she
should do. But we can share our expe-
riences and expertise, and facilitate
communities and organizations inside
China to formulate solutions that t
their community and specic condi-
tions. The America Chinese
Environment Protection Association,
of which I am a member, works
actively to assist these exchanges.
To do this, we rely of local volun-
teers and the support from various
agencies and local businesses. In Palo
Alto, Vice Mayor Nancy Sheppard,
Utilities Director Val Fong and staff
member Christen Creed helped organ-
ize a lesson about sustainable living.
In Foster City, Mayor Pam Frisella,
Councilman Art Kiesel and former
mayor Linda Koelling, along with
Beatrice Pascual at the VIBE discussed
ways and ideas to plan communities
that match the need for health, recre-
ational and cultural service with local
decision making. In San Carlos,
Faustina Mututa of Recology offered
to give lessons on the treatment of
wastes and the importance of reduce,
reuse and recycle.
The Bay Area is Americas window
to the Asia-Pacic: from the time of
Angel Island, when immigrants from
China were interned, just as immi-
grants from Europe were at Ellis
Island, to todays San Francisco
International Airport. San Mateo
County, because of our proximity to
the airport, benets greatly from the
increasing commercial activity and
tourism. But we should also take
advantage of these opportunities to
impart on our guests the need to grow
with forethought, to grow with input
from communities and citizens and to
grow with full consideration of the
price to future generations. The young
students among them are the future
leaders of China. This is also our
opportunity to share with them our
principles of freedom, liberty and the
importance of responsible citizen-
ship necessary to make freedom and
liberty work.
Together, we have much in com-
mon; together, we have much to
share; together, we have much to
gain.
George Yang is the vice president of
American Chinese Environmental
Protection Association. He is a green
technology advisor currently living in
Menlo Park.
Helping China become environmentally aware
Spiritually poor?
N
ot he who has much is rich, but he who gives
much. Erich Fromm.
It was inevitable! There it was. Right there in the news-
paper a half-page ad for a Prince of Cambridge baby
doll. It comes complete with a christening gown
inspired from the original commissioned by Queen
Victoria. Only $149.99
plus 16.99 shipping and
service charges.
Somehow Pope Francis
popped into my mind. It is
reported that he is forging a
new path in living a simpler
life, has heartfelt concern
for the poor and needy and
believes that materialism is
contrary to the word of God.
He said, Often a growing
sense of loneliness and
emptiness in the hearts of
many people leads them to
seek satisfaction in these
ephemeral idols.
So what does one have to do with the other? The rst is
an example of the epitome of opportunism. The Prince
of Cambridge doll is a product deliberately created to
make a few quick bucks out of some peoples sentimental-
ity and materialistic inclination. The second is an expres-
sion of concern for the way materialism has gotten out of
hand and how we need to have concern for and help those
who are less fortunate. This must irritate the tea party
types to no end as they continually orchestrate their con-
certed effort to block anything that President Obama tries
to do to keep the top 1 percent from wrecking our democ-
racy. Pope Francis is demonstrating humility, compas-
sion and empathy concepts that are obviously foreign
to many politicians in Congress.
As our economy shrivels and more people lose their
decent-paying jobs or their benets or both, that
$166.98 spent on a completely frivolous emblem of roy-
alty could do a lot to help someone who is hungry and
maybe even homeless. If you watched the Bill Moyers
special a few weeks ago that described the plights of two
previously middle-class Detroit families caught in the
throes of the Detroit debacle and the recession, you are
aware of the dimensions of the problem. These were fami-
lies who had lost their jobs, their homes and much of
their self-respect because of government dysfunction and
corporate greed. Yet there are those who have it much
worse those at the bottom of the barrel, so to speak.
For instance, imagine you and your child had to live in
one dirty, dingy room with several other people. Or
maybe you had to camp out in an old van with only the
barest of necessities. You have to constantly worry about
where your next meal is coming from. Suppose you or
your child became ill and you had no money or close rela-
tives or friends to turn to.
Its very painful to hear some people say, Its their
own fault. They havent worked hard enough. Or, All
those people are just a bunch of bums. Its obvious that
they believe that the luck they have had has been because
of some wonderfulness and/or righteousness of their own.
Its luck whether they were born into money or have had
to work for every penny of it. Having the constitution
and the drive, the compulsion to keep accumulating,
being in the right place at the right time and having peo-
ple behind you to encourage you, is pure luck. Not every-
one is physically or mentally able to pull themselves up
by their bootstraps.
This again brings to mind the number of people who
live like they believe that what they have is what they
are and surround themselves with material objects like a
security blanket. And/or they cling to their wealth (like
so many of the top 1 percent) committed to adding to it at
every opportunity, completely oblivious to the needs of
others. Are they so narcissistic that they have no feeling
of the injustice of having so much while others are suffer-
ing because they have so little? The trouble is, as Robert
Reich wrote on July 28: The geopolitical divide has
become so palpable that being wealthy in America today
means not having to come across anyone who isnt.
What we need are government legislators who are as
concerned with our gross national product of desperate,
struggling families as they are in the gross national
product of industry and technology. Instead of Whats in
it for me? we need to ask, How can I share my wealth
and my good fortune? Instead of ordering Prince of
Cambridge dolls, we need to think of the babies born
every day in the United States who face a life of depriva-
tion. And we all need to frequently remind ourselves of
what John F. Kennedy once said: This nation cannot
afford to be materially rich and spiritually poor.

N
ews that Gov. Jerry Brown
approved a 5.9 percent pay
raise for 6,100 California
Highway Patrol ofcers generated
consternation, understandably so.
Brown had pledged to hold the line on
public employees pay when voters
approved a $6 billion tax hike in
November.
The $44.4 million cost of the pack-
age in the current scal year is a frac-
tion of the $6 billion generated by
the new taxes. But the CHP agreement
appears to run counter to Browns
pledge.
Unfortunately, the governor had lit-
tle choice. Adeal struck by former
Gov. Gray Davis with the California
Association of Highway Patrol
Ofcers in 2001 requires that CHP
ofcers receive the average of what
ve of the highest-paid police agen-
cies in the state pay their ofcers.
Under that irresponsible agreement,
when ofcials in those jurisdictions
decide to give away the store at the
bargaining table, California is obli-
gated to do the same for CHP ofcers.
Ideally, pay rates and benet s
should be based on the cost of recruit-
ing and retaining good workers.
Surveys should serve as guides, and an
indication of what the market for
good workers is. But no jurisdiction
should base pay rates solely on deci-
sions made by other jurisdictions.
Negotiators for one agency cant
know what the resources are for
another entity. If a city or county
doesnt have the money, it shouldnt
matter what another jurisdiction pays.
In too many cases, surveys lead to the
pay equivalent of arms races. Unable
to pay inated rates they promise,
cities end up laying off workers. In
the worst case, they seek bankruptcy
protection, as happened in Stockton.
There is little reason why pay of
CHP ofcers should be based on what
police ofcers earn in Los Angeles,
San Diego, Oakland or San Francisco,
or in the Los Angeles County
Sheriffs Department. They all risk
their lives when they go to work. But
working as a cop in Californias big
cities is different than patrolling the
freeways.
Highway Patrol ofcers sacriced
during the budget crisis, receiving no
raises in 2011 or 2012, and meager
increases in 2009 and 2010. For that,
they should be commended. However,
they are paid well.
In 2012, Highway Patrol ofcers
average regular pay was $86,837, and
4,707 ofcers earned more than
$100,000 with overtime and other
pay, as The Bees Amy Gebert reported
earlier this month.
Highway Patrol ofcers are highly
valued state workers. They should be
paid well when theyre on the job and
receive good pensions when they
retire. However, their pay should not
be tied to police and sheriffs deputies
in Californias urban cores.
California ofcials should not be
bound by what decisions made by
local politicians, any more than may-
ors and city councils should be bound
by the bargaining decisions made in
Sacramento.
Dont link CHP salaries to pay of big city cops

The Mosaic Co., down $9.15 to $43.81
A massive Russian potash producer pulled out of a sales partnership,
signaling an end to a global cartel that commands 70 percent of the
world market.Thats likely to reduce sharply the price of potash,a nutrient
used in fertilizers, and has already cut into shares of companies that
produce it.

Shares slumped after the company announced the departure of two
top executives and poor sales of handbags during the nal quarter of the
year.
United States Steel Corp., down $1.27 to $17.71
The steel maker posted a second consecutive quarterly loss,making it ve
out of seven in the red, and it gave a cautious forecast for the current
period.
Occidental Petroleum Corp., down $2.16 to $88.32
The company delivered a prot that topped Wall Street expectations,
but its revenue numbers left investors wanting.
Pitney Bowes Inc., up $1.88 to $16.60
The mailing equipment and software company beat expectations for

Big movers
By Christina Rexrode
NEW YORK On the stock market
Tuesday, it felt like late-summer inertia
had already set in.
U.S. stocks wandered between the
tiniest of gains and losses before clos-
ing mixed. Traders were indecisive as
companies reported disparate earnings
news, and many were disinclined to
make any big moves before getting
direction from the Federal Reserve,
which is scheduled to release an updated
policy statement Wednesday.
The calendar said late July, but on the
stock exchange it seemed more like
August, when many traders take off for
vacation and fewer stocks trade hands.
The Dow Jones industrial average rose
as much as 72 points in early trading
less than 0.5 percent before icker-
ing lower. It dipped into the red for most
of the afternoon and closed down 1.38
points, or 0.01 percent, at 15,520.59.
It seems like the doldrums of summer
have set in, said Dave Abate, senior
wealth adviser at Strategic Wealth
Partners in Seven Hills, Ohio.
The Nasdaq composite rose 17.33
points, or 0.5 percent, to 3,616.47,
though even that gain was largely
because Apple, its biggest component,
was up more than 1 percent.
The Standard & Poors 500 index
plodded just a fraction higher, up 0.63
point, or 0.04 percent, to 1,685.96.
Three of its industry sectors rose, led by
technology stocks. Seven fell, dragged
down by telecommunications compa-
nies.
Company earnings were equally
inconclusive. Coach, the maker of
upscale handbags, slumped 8 percent
after reporting lower quarterly prot .
But Goodyear Tire & Rubber jumped 9
percent after announcing that its quar-
terly earnings had doubled.
This earnings season has presented a
picture encouraging on some fronts and
troubling on others. Many companies,
including big names like Apple and
Visa, have posted better-than-expected
results, and analysts predict that sec-
ond-quarter earnings are up 4.7 percent
for companies in the S&P 500, accord-
ing to S&P Capital IQ. But the picture
has its blemishes, including the fact
that many of the gains are based not on
business growth but on cost-cutting:
Revenue is down about 0.5 percent.
Theres a little bit of swapping
chairs on the deck, Abate said.
Outside of earnings reports, traders
were keeping a close eye on the Federal
Reserve, which began a two-day meet-
ing Tuesday and will release an updated
policy statement Wednesday.
Conjectures about the central bank
have had a powerful inuence on the
stock market in recent months. Traders
have bought and sold stocks while
hanging on to every word of Federal
Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke, look-
ing for clues about when the Fed might
pull back on its bond-buying program
or start raising interest rates. The cen-
tral bank has been buying bonds to try
to prop up stocks and encourage bor-
rowing.

WASHINGTON U.S. home prices
jumped 12.2 percent in May compared with
a year ago, the biggest annual gain since
March 2006. The increase shows the hous-
ing recovery is strengthening.
The Standard & Poors/Case-Shiller 20-
city home price index released Tuesday also
surged 2.4 percent in May from April. The
month-over-month gain nearly matched the
2.6 percent increase in April from March
the highest on record.
The price increases were widespread. All
20 cities showed gains in May from April
and compared with a year ago.
Prices in Dallas and Denver reached the
highest level on records dating back to
2000. That marks the rst time since the
housing bust that any city has reached an
all-time high.
Home values are rising as more people are
bidding on a scarce supply of houses for
sale. Steady price increases, along with sta-
ble job gains and historically low mortgage
rates, have in turn encouraged more
Americans to buy homes.
One concern is that higher mortgage rates
could slow home sales. But many econo-
mists say rates remain low by historical
standards and would need to rise much faster
to halt the momentum.
Svenja Gudell, senior economist at
Zillow, a home price data provider, said a
big reason for the recent price gains is that
foreclosed homes make up a smaller propor-
tion of overall sales. Foreclosed homes are
usually sold by banks at re-sale prices.
Typical home values have appreciated at
roughly half this pace for the past several
months, which is still very robust, Gudell
said.
Gudell said higher mortgage rates and a
likely increase in the number of homes for
sale in the coming months should slow the
pace of price gains and stabilize the hous-
ing market.
U.S. home prices rise 12.2 percent
WASHINGTON JPMorgan Chase & Co.
agreed to pay $410 million on Tuesday to
settle accusations by U.S. energy regulators
that it manipulated electricity prices.
The Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission said the bank used improper
bidding strategies to squeeze excessive pay-
ments from the agencies that run the power
grids in California and the Midwest. The
improper conduct occurred between
September 2010 and November 2012, FERC
said.
JPMorgan, the biggest U.S. bank, is pay-
ing a civil penalty of $285 million and
returning $125 million in allegedly
improper prots. Of that amount, $124 mil-
lion will go to electric utilities that bought
power in California and $1 million to those
in the Midwest.
FERC said its investigation had found
improper trading practices were used at
Houston-based JPMorgan Ventures Energy
Corp.

Facebook nears $38

NEW YORK Facebooks stock came
within pennies of its $38 IPO price for the

ing more than a year ago.
Shares of Facebook Inc. rose $2.18, or
6.2 percent, to close at $37.61 on Tuesday.
The stock hit $37.96 in afternoon trading.

work has been on a roll since it reported

Time Warner drops
CBS, then halts decision
BEVERLY HILLS The fee dispute
between Time Warner Cable and CBS Corp.
took an odd turn when the cable giant
announced it was turning off the broadcaster
in three major cities, then quickly reversed
the decision. The two sides negotiated
through the day Monday to avoid a program-
ming blackout. Both parties kept extending
the deadline before the cable provider
appeared to replace regular programming on
the network with a company statement for a
brief, undetermined amount of time.

South San Francisco Fog man-
ager Rodney Caton said before his
team took off to Cooperstown
Dream Park in New York that his
boys were trying to make history.
It was quite the statement con-
sidering that SSF has sent a team
to the largest tournament in the
United States since 2000 and has
nished as high as second place
that in a bracket that consists of
104 teams from all over the United
States and Canada.
But Caton knows his Fog better
than anyone and while the goal
was lofty, the ball players from
South San Francisco came very
close to accomplishing it.
South City nished fourth over-
all, falling to the eventual cham-
pions, LBA Naturals Blue 6-2 late
in the 104-team bracket. The Blue
were seeded 13th while SSF was
fourth but LBA had just enough
momentum to carry them past the
Fog.
In all, the Fog went 7-1 during
their time at Cooperstown.
There werent many teams better
than South San Francisco during
pool play a guaranteed six-
game run through other teams at
Cooperstown. The Fog went 6-0
in league play along only 13
other teams at the 104-team tour-
ney. Of those 14 teams, the Fog
was one of four with a team earned
run average of under 3.00 (2.83,
the lowest was 1.50).
The South San Francisco offense
was just as good as its pitching. In
six games, the Fog scored an even
100 runs for an average of just
under 17 per game. Twice, it had

SAN JOSE The San Jose Sharks signed
center Joe Pavelski to a $30 million, ve-
year contract extension Tuesday that will
keep him off the free-agent market next
summer.
Its always exciting when a franchise
puts that responsibility on you a little bit,
Pavelski said. Its important to continue to
play at a high level in that regard. Its a
position I wanted to be in, and its exciting
to have this opportunity.
Pavelski is the second
key player signed to an
extension this offseason
by general manager Doug
Wilson. Center Logan
Couture also signed a $30
million, ve-year exten-
sion earlier this month, a
year before he could
become a free agent. The
deals keep both players
under contract through the 2018-19 season.
Pavelski, a seventh-round pick in 2003,
has become a cornerstone of the franchise
that has long been led by Joe Thornton and
Patrick Marleau.
He is one of our core players, the way he
plays, general manager Doug Wilson. To
me it was just an important contract to get
done on the heels of Logans contract also.
He ts for now and the future the way he
plays the game.
He was tied for third on the team in points
last season when he had 16 goals and 15
assists in 48 games. He is also a key part of
both the power-play and penalty-kill units,
is strong in the faceoff circle and has the
versatility to play center or wing.
The 29-year-old has 150 goals and 186
assists in 479 career games with San Jose.
He ranks 10th in his draft class in points per

LOS ANGELES The Beard is
back in baseball.
The Los Angeles Dodgers have
signed free-agent reliever Brian
Wilson to a one-year contract. He
will join the team after pitching in
the minors on a rehab assignment.
One thing we talked about was
that quality
power on the
back end,
Dodgers manag-
er Don
Mattingly said.
Its one of the
areas we felt
could still help
us.
Wilson has-
nt pitched in the majors since April
12, 2012, the same month he under-
went Tommy John surgery on his
right elbow.
He threw in front of scouts last
week, and Mattingly said the
Dodgers representatives were
happy with Wilsons location and
velocity.
Wilson was one of the majorstop
relievers from 2008-11 with the San
Francisco Giants. He was a three-
time All-Star and led the big leagues
with 163 saves in 186 chances.
He was a key reliever during the
Giants run to the 2010 World Series
championship, striking out 16 in
11 2-3 scoreless innings in the
postseason. He became a free agent
after last season, when the Giants
didnt offer him a contract.
Wilson is 20-20 with 171 saves
in 315 career games with the Giants.
The 31-year-old pitcher has limited
opposing hitters to a .238 batting
average during his career with 340
strikeouts in 320 innings.
His heavy black beard has taken
on a life of its own, and helped make
Wilson a celebrity.
We have some characters in
there, so Im sure hell t right in,
Mattingly said.

ing Tuesday.
Buehrle (7-7) extended his scoreless
innings streak to 20, did not walk a batter
and struck out two. He retired 10 of the rst
11 batters he faced ve days after tossing a
two-hit shutout against the Houston Astros.
Dan Straily (6-5) lost his third straight
decision, giving up ve runs two earned

The Blue Jays added an unearned run in the
fourth. Encarnacion, Adam Lind and Ramus
hit consecutive singles, with Yeonis
Cespedes misplaying the ball in left eld,
allowing Encarnacion to score.
Bonifacio led off the fth with a home
run. Jose Reyes walked and Maicer Izturis

SANTA CLARA In unison, offensive
linemen Alex Boone, Joe Staley and Adam
Snyder stood up from their post-practice ice
baths and headed for the locker room to pre-
pare for afternoon meetings.
Invite only, an
always-animated Boone
cracked. You cant just
hop into that group.
Thats a tub club.
And hes not joking.
Seeing them together
in a line of individual ice
tubs was hardly surpris-
ing considering the San
Francisco 49ers tight-
knit O-line and its cast of
characters at each position. The Niners
return a group that started every game
together during last seasons run to the Super
Bowl, and theyre determined to take that
success even further.
Its great. Any time you can have guys
returning that youve played next to and you
know how they play, you know how they
think, it really helps the game speed up,
Boone said. Its a big advantage for us, but
at the same time we kind of have a target on
our back right now trying to continue to be
the best and moving in that direction.
San Franciscos offensive line made major
strides last year, and now there is an even
bigger task ahead: protecting Colin
Kaepernick from Day 1 in the quarterbacks
rst full season as the starter.
Boone insists the line and Kaepernick
will draw far more attention now.
Especially with all the hype Kaepernick
generated during and after his breakout sea-
son last year with his high-prole offsea-
son of appearances, events and awards.
Left tackle Joe Staley, left guard Mike
Iupati, center Jonathan Goodwin, Boone and
right tackle Anthony Davis know their job
is to keep Kaepernick safe at all times. Its
hardly a small chore, even on their own
practice eld.
Theyre a group that works well together,
good size, 49ers defensive coordinator Vic
Fangio said. You can tell that theyve
played together for an extended period of
time. We still do ne against them.
During Tuesday mornings session, Staley
and All-Pro defensive tackle Justin Smith
kept their arms locked well after the play in
a good-natured, competitive moment so typ-
ical of the early stages in training camp
when everybody wants to make an impres-
sion.
Offensive coordinator Greg Roman real-
izes he is fortunate he already knows what to
expect from all of his linemen day in and day
out over the course of an NFL season.
Any time you can get that continuity its
a bonus, Roman said Tuesday. Everything
is in front of us. Weve got to earn it, every
day at practice get better, and weve got a
great group to do it with. Theyre working
hard and paying their dues.
Coach Jim Harbaugh stressed from the
start of camp the need to protect Kaepernick,
who took over the starting job from Alex
Smith in November and ran with it all the
way to New Orleans and a 34-31 Super Bowl
loss to Baltimore.
Well, theres nobody that wants to see
their own quarterback get hit too often,
Harbaugh said. So, we dont really talk
scheme, about what were going to do and
not do. But I think thats a universal state-
ment that nobody wants to see his quarter-
back get hit too often.
With the focused line eager to carry some
momentum from last year into the upcoming
season, there will be plenty of incentive to
keep a good thing going.
I love it, Davis said. Its a dream come
true to play with a tight group as talented as
this one. Growing up, you stand out as an
offensive lineman. Here, I feel like we all as
a unit stand out. Weve got a long way to go,
a lot of work to do. They knew who we were
last year. Were getting better. Were not just
looking at our little trophies.

PHILADELPHIA Carlos Ruiz and Michael
Young hit two-run homers to back John
Lannan, and the Philadelphia Phillies beat the
San Francisco Giants 7-3 Tuesday night to snap
an eight-game losing streak.
The Phillies beat the New York Mets 13-8 in
their rst game after the All-Star break, but
scored a total of 14 in the next eight losses to
drop out of contention.
The defending World Series champion Giants
have lost ve in a row and eight of nine. They
came off a 3-7 homestand that left them in last
place in the NLWest.
Lannan (3-4) allowed three runs and seven
hits in seven innings.
Barry Zito (4-8) gave up four runs and ve hits
in 3 1-3 innings. The 2002 ALCy Young Award
winner is 0-7 with a 9.97 ERAon the road.
Ruiz gave the Phillies a 4-2 lead in the fourth
when he lined a shot just over the left eld wall.
Ruiz, an All-Star last year, had not homered in
176 at-bats since last Sept. 25 against
Washington. He began the year with a 25-game
suspension for using a banned amphetamine.
Young connected off Guillermo Moscoso in
the seventh to make it 6-2.
Pablo Sandoval drove in San Franciscos rst
two runs. He had a sacrice y in the rst inning
and his bloop single to right with two outs in

NAPA Matt Flynn is solidifying his
role as starting quarterback for the Oakland
Raiders one year after losing that same job
in training camp in Seattle.
Flynn entered camp with the inside track
over Terrelle Pryor and rookie Tyler Wilson
to replace Carson Palmer in Oakland and has
done nothing in the rst week of camp to
change that equation.
Its a far cry to what happened to Flynn a
year ago in Seattle where Flynn went from
coveted offseason free-agent acquisition
with a $26 million contract to backing up a
third-round pick in a matter of weeks at
training camp.
With Russell Wilson set as starter in
Seattle, Flynn was traded to Oakland in the
offseason and has done
his best to hold onto this
opportunity to start in
the NFL.
I took away a lot of
things from Seattle last
year, Flynn said
Tuesday. But the thing
that I took away the most
was that I want this even
more now, even more
this year. Im blessed to have another
opportunity at this and Ill try to take
advantage of it and do as much as I can to not
let it get away from me.
Flynn has been the most impressive of
the three quarterbacks so far in training
camp with the most accurate arm, a good
grasp of the offense and strong leadership
on the eld.
Im going in there and trying to be the
best quarterback out here, trying to be the
best quarterback for this team and help this
team win as best I can, Flynn said. Im
coming in here every day with my hard hat
on, trying to prepare.
Flynn, a backup in college at LSU to for-
mer Raiders quarterback JaMarcus Russell,
has started just two games in ve seasons as
a pro. But its those brief appearances that
are so intriguing.
He threw for 251 yards and three touch-
downs in a loss at New England in place of
an injured Aaron Rodgers late in the 2010
season. He then started the regular-season
nale the following season, going 31 for
44 for 480 yards and six touchdown passes
in a 45-41 win over Detroit.
That led to the $26 million, three-year
contract from the Seahawks. But Flynn
struggled in the second exhibition game
last summer and missed the third with an
elbow injury. By that point Wilson passed
him on the depth chart and Flynn was rele-
gated to another year as a backup.
Despite winning a national champi-
onship at LSU and the impressive perform-
ances in his few chances in the NFL, Flynn
still faces many doubters who question
whether he has a strong enough arm to suc-
ceed in the pro game.
To play quarterback in the NFL, to me,
you have to be two things: You have to be
smart and you have to be accurate, he said.
Things on the eld are going to come and
you have to be able to do that as well, and I
feel very condent in my ability to do that,
but overall you have to be smart and accu-
rate.
Flynn got another chance to prove that
when the Raiders dealt a 2014 fth-round
pick and a conditional pick in 2015 to
Seattle.
While coach Dennis Allen has stressed an
open competition at quarterback with Pryor
and another rookie named Wilson Tyler
nothing that has been seen so far in the
offseason or camp indicates that Flynn
wont be the starter when the season opens
Sept. 8 in Indianapolis.
Flynn has gotten the vast majority of the
time with the rst-team offense so far and is
earning the trust of his teammates.
Its kind of playing out about like I
expected. Matt Flynn has been pretty con-
sistent, coach Dennis Allen said. Those
guys are doing exactly what we want them to
do, keep competing and keep playing.
Dont worry about the depth chart, just keep
getting better.
Part of what has solidied Flynns hold on
the job is that neither Pryor nor Tyler
Wilson has seized it the way Russell Wilson
did a year ago.
Pryor, who provided a spark when he
started the season nale last year, is still far
too inconsistent throwing the ball but can
be a dual threat as a scrambler or runner.
Pryor has worked hard on improving his
mechanics, spending the offseason working
with former major league pitcher Tom
House, who has also coached Tom Brady and
Drew Brees.

NEW YORK Friday could be D-day for
Major League Baseballs drug investigation.
Deliberations over suspensions in the
Biogenesis case could stretch out for the rest
of this week and delay announcements, two
people familiar with the talks said Tuesday.
It appeared several of the dozen or so tar-
geted players were likely to reach agreements
on their penalties and avoid grievance hear-
ings, one of the people said Tuesday, speak-
ing on condition of
anonymity because no
statements were author-
ized.
Both said MLB hopes
to announce the penalties
for all players involved at
the same time.
Three-time MVP Alex
Rodriguez of the New
York Yankees and four
2013 All-Stars Texas
outelder Nelson Cruz, San Diego shortstop
Everth Cabrera, Detroit shortstop Jhonny
Peralta and Oakland pitcher Bartolo Colon
are among the players who have been
linked in media reports to Biogenesis. The
closed Florida anti-aging clinic was accused
by Miami New Times in January of distribut-
ing banned performing-enhancing drugs,
sparking MLBs investigation.
Others linked in media reports include
Toronto outelder Melky Cabrera, Yankees
catcher Francisco Cervelli, San Diego catch-
er Yasmani Grandal and Seattle catcher Jesus
Montero.
Melky Cabrera, the 2012 All-Star game
MVP while with San Francisco, served a 50-
game suspension last year for elevated
testosterone, as did Grandal and Colon, the
2005 AL Cy Young Award winner.
Players who dont reach agreements can
ask the players association to le griev-
ances, which would lead to hearings before
arbitrator Fredric Horowitz. Discipline for
rst offenders under the drug agreement usual-
ly is not announced until after the penalty is
upheld, but there is an exception when the
conduct leading to the discipline already has
been made public.
In addition, MLB may try to suspend
Rodriguez under its collective bargaining
agreement instead of its drug rules, which
would lead to the suspension starting before
the appeal.
Milwaukee outelder Ryan Braun was the
rst player to reach an agreement with MLB.
The 2011 NL MVP accepted a season-ending
65-game suspension last week. Braun tested
positive for elevated testosterone in October
2011 but a 50-game suspension was over-
turned the following February by an arbitra-
tor who ruled Brauns urine sample was han-
dled improperly.
Rodriguez appears at risk for the harshest
penalty. The Yankees are expecting him to be
accused of recruiting other athletes for the
clinic, attempting to obstruct MLBs inves-
tigation, and not being truthful with MLB in
the past when he discussed his relationship
with Dr. Anthony Galea, who pleaded guilty
two years ago to a federal charge of bringing
unapproved drugs into the United States from
Canada.
A-Rod was my teammate in New York. Im
glad he was my teammate, retired pitcher
Roger Clemens said Tuesday in Boston,
where he was at Fenway Park to mark the
25th anniversary of manager Joe Morgans
team that won the 1988 AL East title.
I did things to make him feel comfortable.
I did that for all of my teammates, Clemens
said. I think I was a pretty solid teammate.

BARCELONA, Spain Missy
Franklin got the Americans rolling.
Then Katie Ledecky really red em
up.
By the end of the night, the U.S.
team was awash in medals at the
world swimming championships.
Franklin and Ledecky each won her
second gold medal of the meet, Matt
Grevers led a 1-2 American nish in
the backstroke, and there was plenty
of reason to celebrate for the red,
white and blue on Tuesday.
Weve had an absolutely incredi-
ble evening, Franklin said. Im so
proud of all my teammates.
In all, the Americans claimed three
golds, two silvers and a bronze a
strong meet for most nations, cer-
tainly quite a haul in a mere two
hours.
A big night for us, said Bob
Bowman, head coach of the U.S.
mens team.
Everyone was raving about
Ledecky, only 16 but already well on
her way to becoming one of the
countrys great distance swimmers.
She obliterated the world record in
the 1,500-meter freestyle, which
may be a non-Olympic event for the
women but did nothing to diminish
the magnitude of her accomplish-
ment.
After going stroke for stroke with
Denmarks Lotte Friis most of the
race, with both well under world-
record pace, Ledecky really turned it
on over the nal 200 and beat the
mark by more than 6 seconds. Friis
also went under the old record, and all
it got her was silver.
It was motivating watching Katie
destroy the world record from the
ready room, Grevers said. That
really got us psyched.
Franklin cruised through a
demanding double, easily winning
the 100 backstroke before returning
about an hour later to post the sec-
ond-fastest time in the seminals of
the 200 free.
Its tough, but its fun, the 18-
year-old said. Im super happy with
my 100 back. It really got me
pumped up for the 200 free.
Grevers touched ahead of teammate
David Plummer in the 100 back-
stroke, and there were Americans on
the podium in all ve nals. Conor
Dwyer picked up a silver behind
Frances Yannick Agnel in the 200
free, and Jessica Hardy chipped in
with a bronze in the 100 breaststroke
won by Lithuanias Ruta Meilutyte.
The only disappointment for the
U.S. was Ryan Lochte, who labored
to a fourth-place nish in the 200
free.
It wasnt my night, the three-
time Olympian said. But I have to
put it behind me because I still have
many races to swim.
He hopes to compete in seven
events in Barcelona, despite not
being able to train as much as usual
this year while taking part in his
reality television show, What
Would Ryan Lochte Do?
It was kind of a tough swim for
him, Bowman said. He has obvi-
ously not had a season with his char-
acteristic preparation. But hes rac-
ing tough. Hell be back tomorrow.
Hell be ne.
Red, white and blue night at swimming worlds

LOS ANGELES When four UFC
champions and their next opponents
stood together on a stage Tuesday
amid camera ashes and raucous
cheers, the happiest man was in the
middle.
UFC President Dana White has
healthy ghters, pleased television
partners and a tantalizing slate of
upcoming fall ghts. Its a big
change from last year, when White
spent untold months scrambling to
replace injured stars and plugging
holes in an ambitious schedule that
devolved into a patchwork slate for
mixed martial arts dominant promo-
tion.
It feels good to run your business
again, White said. Youre on your
heels the whole year, rebuilding
cards that were already built and not
focusing on building your business.
Right now, everything couldnt be
better.
The unprecedented cancellation of
UFC 151 last September was the low-
est point in a year crammed with
injury postponements and under-
whelming cards. Many fans thought
the UFC had booked too many shows
with not enough quality ghts to ll
the schedule demands of its televi-
sion deal with Fox.
Last year, we had main events and
co-main events falling off every
card, White said. This year doesnt
compare to last year. Were really
building some momentum, and these
ghters are going to keep it going.
White largely blames last years
problems on injuries, and most of
his important ghters are healthy
heading into the fall. Every star
ghter on stage for the promotional
event at a downtown Los Angeles
theater is eager for a starring role this
fall.
Georges St. Pierre, Ronda Rousey,
Jon Jones and Cain Velasquez dis-
played their title belts and signed
autographs for hundreds of fans on
the Hollywood stop of an unusual
six-day, 11-city promotional tour
stretching across three continents.
The champions traded barbs and
posed for faceoffs with challengers
Johny Hendricks, Miesha Tate,
Alexander Gustafsson and Junior Dos
Santos.
St. Pierre, Rousey and Velasquez
drew the biggest cheers from the
crowd, which reserved its biggest
boos for Jones and Tate. Jones,
whose refusal to accept a late replace-
ment opponent at UFC 151 partly
forced the cards cancellation, has
become an antihero to UFC fans
despite his sparkling record and
boundless talent.
You guys like to boo me, Im real-
izing, Jones said with a grin to the
jeering fans. I feel like Im growing
up in front of an audience. But its
fun. Its a great business to work in.
Jones and Gustafsson will meet for
the light heavyweight title in
Toronto on Sept. 21. Hendricks gets
his long-anticipated shot at welter-
weight champion St. Pierre in Las
Vegas on Nov. 16, while Velasquez
and Dos Santos will complete their
trilogy of title ghts in Houston on
Oct. 19.

Three former Penn State ofcials to stand trial
HARRISBURG, Pa. Penn States ex-president and two for-
mer top school administrators were ordered Tuesday to stand trial
on charges accusing them of a cover-up in the Jerry Sandusky
child sex abuse scandal, a court ruling that promises to prolong
the media attention and court battles casting a shadow over the
university.
Prosecutors showed enough evidence during a two-day prelim-
inary hearing to warrant a trial for ex-President Graham Spanier,
former vice president Gary Schultz and ex-athletic director Tim
Curley, District Judge William Wenner concluded.
Wenner called it a tragic day for Penn State University.
The men engaged in a conspiracy of silence, the lead state
prosecutor, Bruce Beemer, said during his closing argument.
They covered up their failure to tell police about a 2001 allega-
tion that Sandusky was molesting a boy in a university locker
room shower, despite knowing that police investigated com-
plaints about Sandusky showering with boys in 1998, Beemer
said.
When they were nally asked about (the 1998 investigation),
it was 2011 and what happened in the interim? Beemer said.
The key testimony centered on a series of emails among the
three defendants that discussed the 1998 and 2001 cases and the
account of Mike McQueary, a former team assistant and quarter-
back who said he had immediately told Schultz, Curley and the
late longtime football coach Joe Paterno that he had seen
Sandusky molesting a boy dubbed Victim 2 in court docu-
ments in the shower in 2001.
Sandusky, a defensive coordinator under Paterno until his
retirement in 1999, was convicted last year of 45 counts of child
sexual abuse and received a 30- to 60-year state prison term. He
maintains his innocence and is appealing.
Anthony Lubrano, a Penn State trustee who watched the two
days of testimony, said he had not expected Wenner to throw out
the case, given the low level of evidence necessary to send the
case to trial. However, he said, if you get an unbiased jury (at a
trial), itll be hard to get those charges to stick.

Best in MLS prepared to
play Italian club AS Roma
KANSAS CITY, Kan. Michael Bradley got his start
in professional soccer as an 18-year-old midelder for
what would eventually become the New York Red Bulls of
Major League Soccer.
Now he gets a chance to see just how far the league has
come.
Bradley will join Francesco Totti and the rest of Italian
club AS Roma in taking on the best that MLS has to offer
in the leagues annual All-Star game on Wednesday night.
The son of former U.S. national team coach Bob
Bradley, Michael Bradley joined the MLS team then
known as the MetroStars in 2004. He played in 30 games
over two seasons before he left for Europe, where he
bounced around a handful of clubs, recently landing with
Roma.
Theres no question that the league continues to
grow, Bradley said. You look around the league, you see
the stadiums that are being built, you see the teams that
come into the league that have support and fans like they
do in Seattle, Portland, and I think thats great for the
league and great for our country. I think the quality con-
tinues to get better and better.

Hes a hockey player, Wilson said. We use him on the
point on the power play, we use him on the rst line, we use
him on key faceoffs, blocking shots. He won a national
championship in college for a reason. Hes a winner. Hes a
great role model for many of our other players who are
home-grown. The way he plays the game, its not about
stats, even though his stats are very impressive. Its about
what you can do to make a difference to win a game.
He is third among all American-born players with 158
points over the past three seasons and has been invited to
attend the United States national team orientation camp
next month in preparation for the 2014 Olympics. Pavelski
won the silver medal with the Americans in Vancouver in

Pavelski has been a strong performer in the postseason
throughout his career, with four goals and eight assists for
a team-high 12 points in 11 playoff games last year. He has
24 goals and 26 assists in 74 career playoff games.
Ive played at a high level at times throughout my career
and through stretches, Pavelski said. Its about getting to
that high level and maintaining it and expecting it on a
nightly basis.
Locking up Couture and Pavelski long term was a key
goal this offseason for the Sharks. They still have a few
notable potential older free agents next summer in
Thornton, Marleau and star defenseman Dan Boyle.
Wilson said he has already talked with all three about new

OAKLAND
OAKLAND Oakland General Manager Billy Beane was
looking to shore up his ineld, both offensively and defen-
sively.
He got what he was looking for in Alberto Callaspo.
The Athletics acquired Callaspo from AL West rival Los
Angeles Angels for ineld prospect Grant Green on Tuesday
night.
We needed some ineld help, particularly somebody who
could help swing it from the right side, Beane said. Just a lit-
tle bit of a hedge at every position and help from the right side
against left-handed pitching.
Callaspo was removed from the Angels game against the
Texas Rangers after the fourth inning on Tuesday night. Green
was a late scratch from Triple-ASacramentos lineup.
Were pretty thin ineld-wise when you start thinking
about the fact that weve played Josh (Donaldson), it seems
like, almost every inning of every game, Beane said. We
were in a situation where we needed another inelder.
Callaspo was hitting .253 with ve home runs and 36 RBIs
entering Tuesday.

BEIRUT Blasts echo in the distance as
two longtime friends and neighbors sit
along a narrow street in old Damascus chat-
ting about Syria, when one of them calls the
civil war raging in their home country a cri-
sis.
It is called a revolution! the other
shouts. If you are one of those who believe
in a foreign conspiracy, then move away
from here, roars the man, whose son has
been detained by regime forces for nine
months for taking part in pro-democracy
protests.
The rst man retorts that he is sitting in
public property and has the right to call it
whatever he wants.
Its a scene from We Will Return Soon,
one of at least three Syrian soap operas air-
ing during the Muslim holy month of
Ramadan that deal primarily with the Syrian
civil war.
The shows, spotlighting a conict that
has killed more than 100,000 people and
uprooted millions of others from their
homes, have captivated millions of viewers
across the Arab world. Other Syrian soap
operas broadcast during Ramadan also
address the war though its not their main
theme.
Some of the series are pro-regime and man-
aged to lm in Syria, while other series crit-
ical of President Bashar Assads brutal mili-
tary crackdown had to be lmed in studios in
neighboring Lebanon or Gulf Arab coun-
tries. Still others tried to achieve a delicate
balance between the two.
With emotions running high among
Syrians, reaction has been mixed. Afew have
called for the programs to be boycotted, par-
ticularly those deemed supportive of the
regime. But for many Syrians, and especially
the hundreds of thousands of refugees in
other countries, the shows are a reminder of
the lives they left behind.
These shows make me miss Syria and its
people, said Shadi Attasi, a 35-year-old
Syrian from the central city of Homs who ed
the war and now lives in Dubai. They also
make me sad because while this is only act-
ing, a lot of people in Syria are living this
exact scenario of violence and injustice.

WASHINGTON The U.S. hopes negoti-
ations for a free trade deal with the European
Union will drive growth-oriented reforms in
the EU economy, the top American trade
ofcial said Tuesday.
In a similar vein, U.S. Trade
Representative Michael Froman said
Chinas recent agreement to negotiate a
bilateral investment treaty with the United
States is a chance to press for economic
reforms in the Asian giant that could level
the playing eld for American businesses.
Froman also told the U.S. Chamber of
Commerce in Washington he was cautious-
ly optimistic the U.S. could reach a major
trade agreement with Pacic Rim countries
by the end of the year despite some skepti-
cism over that timetable after Japans late
entry into the talks.
Froman noted that the U.S. goal for all
trade agreements currently being negotiated
was to promote job creation here and bol-
ster the middle class.
One key to success in newly launched
talks on a Trans-Atlantic trade deal with
Europe will be eliminating unnecessary reg-
ulatory barriers to trade, Froman said. And
as Europe struggles to pull itself out of
recession, he cautioned the bloc not to rely
too heavily on exporting to the U.S. as a
way out of its current problems.
The proposed Transatlantic Trade and
Investment Partnership has raised great
expectations of boosting growth and jobs
by eliminating tariffs and other barriers
that have long plagued economic relations.
It would create a market with common stan-
dards and regulations across countries that
account for nearly half the global economy.
Froman said both the U.S. and European
markets are heavily regulated and have high
standards when it comes to health, safety
and environmental protection. But he said
they must eliminate unnecessary differences
and frictions in regulation that prevent a
free ow of goods and services across bor-
ders.
The two sides are at odds over agricultural
and nancial services regulation, among
other restrictions.
Turning to China, Froman said he saw
encouraging signs for bilateral relations as
Chinas new leadership grapples with seri-
ous economic issues such as deciding
whether it wants to rely so heavily on
export-led growth to questions about air
pollution and food safety.

Boneless, skinless chicken
breasts are literally THE white
meat of the meat world. They are
a great lean protein, quick and
easy to prepare, freeze well, and
take to just about any flavor or
cuisine you care for. But they
also can be rather dull. So weve
come up with three ways to jazz
up this weeknight staple.
First, we created a spice rub.
Its as simple as it sounds you
stir together a few spices, rub it
into the meat, then slap it on the
grill or into a pan on the stove.
Its a great option to use on a
sandwich since the breasts are
pounded out flat before cooking.
Our second choice was a mari-
nade. In the morning, toss all the
ingredients in a zip-close bag
and pop the whole thing into the
refrigerator. When you get home
from work, youll have a flavor-
ful and moist dinner ready to
cook. Consider throwing these
tenders over a bed of rice or on
top of a salad.
Our last option is smothered.
Sometimes you want a gooey,
sticky sauce to moisten things
up. These breasts work especial-
ly well alongside roasted potato
wedges and corn on the cob. Of
course, if chicken breasts arent
on your menu tonight, any of
these options would work equally
as well on chicken thighs, pork,
even salmon or steak.
SPICE-RUBBED
CHICKEN BREASTS
Start to finish: 30 minutes
Servings: 4
2 boneless, skinless chicken
breasts (about 1 pound)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon sweet paprika
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black
pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
Set the chicken breasts on a
cutting board and slice horizon-
tally across the piece to create 2
thinner halves. One at a time,
cover each half with plastic
wrap, then use a meat mallet to
pound to an even thickness.
Drizzle the pounded halves with
the olive oil and rub all over.
In a small bowl, combine the
brown sugar, cumin, garlic pow-
der, onion powder, paprika,
thyme, salt, pepper and allspice.
Rub the mixture over both sides
of each of the 4 pieces of meat.
If cooking on the grill, heat to
medium heat. Cook for 2 minutes
per side. If cooking on the stove-
top, in a large skillet heat 1
tablespoon of canola oil over
medium-high. Cook for 2 to 3
minutes per side, or until the
chicken reaches an internal tem-
perature of 160 F. Let rest for 5
minutes.

bine the miso, lime juice, lime
zest, black pepper, honey and
chili-garlic paste. Squish around
in the bag until well combined.
Place the chicken strips into the
bag and squeeze out any air.
Refrigerate for 6 to 8 hours.
When ready to cook, heat the
oven to 450 F or heat the grill to
medium-high. If using the oven,
place a wire rack over a baking
sheet and mist with cooking
spray.
Drain the chicken, discarding
the marinade. Arrange the chick-

MIAMI Some 4 million Puerto
Ricans live in the continental U.S.
these days. And we have them to thank
for making some of my favorite foods
such as mofongo easier to nd.
Admittedly, I might be biased. Im
one of those 4 million and happen to
think those mashed and fried green
plantains are nearly as addictive as a
good french fry or potato chip. But my
prejudices aside, its hard to ignore the
growing inuence Puerto Rican foods
and chefs are wielding on American
cuisine.
Not to mention better availability of
treats like mofongo.
That inuence has been here for the
past decade and it just keeps growing,
says Susan Ungaro, president of the
James Beard Foundation. I think they
have become absorbed into the way
many restaurants and chefs are cook-
ing.

Scallops are the perfect summertime food
light, yet lling, avorful, but also ver-
satile enough to pair with all sorts of foods.
In this case, with salad.
I call for sea scallops here, which are
available all summer long. But make sure to
conrm that the bivalves in question are
dry scallops or day boat scallops. Both
terms guarantee that the scallops were har-
vested and brought right to market. Too
often scallops are harvested at sea, shucked,
and tossed into a wet solution containing
phosphates, where they sit for days before
making it to market.
That solution preserves the scallops, but
it also pumps them up with water. This
means that youre paying for that liquid
when you buy them by weight, and that
theyll weep liquid and steam in the pan,
instead of browning. This makes for a tough
scallop, and you want them tender.
For this recipe, I dip the scallops in our
before theyre sauteed to give them a little
crunch. If you can nd Wondra our at the
supermarket, grab it on sight and keep it in
the cupboard for recipes like this. Avenera-
ble brand, Wondra was the our my grand-
mother Ruth used to thicken gravies. It is a
low-protein our that has been treated (pre-
cooked) so it dissolves instantly in water
without lumping up. (Thats what makes it
wondra-ful.) The side benet of Wondra is
that it provides a nice little crunch you
wouldnt get if you coated your scallops
with all-purpose our.
This salad sports my version of the car-
rot-ginger dressing thats standard at
Japanese restaurants, which Ive always
found to be a delicious and refreshing
change from oil and vinegar. As advertised,
its based on raw carrot, then avored with
fresh ginger and toasted sesame oil. My ver-
sion also features a little hot sauce. I dont
believe thats in the classic version, but I
like it as a way to counterbalance the natu-
ral sweetness of the carrot.
This recipe yields a big batch of the dress-

land most statistics only track larger cate-
gories, such as Mexican or Chinese but
most observers agree they are spreading. And
fast.
Part of it is due to the growth of the overall
Hispanic population, which mainstream
America is only just now realizing can be
segmented into many and varied subcultures.
It also helps that Puerto Rican culture is par-
ticularly accessible.
The great thing about the Puerto Rican
food and culture is that they are bi-cultural,
says Elizabeth Johnson, a chef-instructor
who specializes in Latin cuisines at The
Culinary Institute of America in San
Antonio. They ow through English and
Spanish and are both American and Puerto
Rican.
It also helps that Puerto Ricans are fond of
a particularly addictive avor combination
sweet and salty. Many dishes have both
elements, such as fried sweet plantains with
pork. One good example is pastelon, which
my grandmother makes often. It is meat with
sweet plantains, layered like a lasagna, then
baked.
Another favorite of mine is the mallorca
(like a Danish, but larger) and my grandfather
would make a grilled cheese with them on the
stove. Some bakeries serve them with ham and
cheese (salty) which tastes amazing with the
sweetness of the mallorca (pronounced mah-
YOUR-ka) that has powdered sugar on top.
Last year marked the rst time the Beard
Foundation included Puerto Rico in its restau-
rant and chef awards, and several chefs from
the island have been featured chefs at dinners

ing, about 1 1/4 cups, which is more than
youll need for the salad. However, itll last
for several days, and is easily repurposed to
grace chicken, sh, pork and grilled veg-
etables, not to mention a plain green salad.
If you dont have seasoned rice vinegar in
the cupboard, just use plain rice vinegar and
add a hefty pinch of sugar and a little salt to
the dressing.
One note about the sesame oil: Be sure to
store it in your refrigerator, along with all
other nut and seed oils and all nuts and
seeds. These items go rancid quickly.
I round out this salad with a couple of
other welcome summertime ingredients:
cucumbers and mango. The greens are
arugula, which I tend to favor in all seasons
because of its peppery bite. Of course,
spinach would be perfect here, as would any
of your favorite greens. Just keep in mind
that, in general, the darker the green, the
more nutritious it is.
Finally, if youre not a fan of scallops,
you can always swap in shrimp, chicken,
pork or even tofu. Consider this recipe a

Start to nish: 40 minutes
Servings: 4
1 cup chopped carrot
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
4 scallions, sliced, white and green parts
kept separate
3 tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar
1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
2 to 4 teaspoons chili-garlic sauce (or

W
hen I was a kid, corn on the
cob was prepared one way,
and only one way.
My mom would husk the ears and pile
them sometimes having to jam them
in a large stock-
pot. Shed add
about an inch of
water, cover the
pot, then bring it
to a boil and steam
the heck out of
them. Then wed
slather them with
butter and salt and
call it good. And
Im pretty con-
dent most
American families
followed some
variant of this basic approach.
These days, we are awash in alterna-
tives, all of course proclaiming to be
the best. Some sound crazy, but work
wonderfully (do yourself a favor and
Google microwaving corn in the husk).
Others just sound crazy (lling a cooler
with boiling water and corn may be an
easy way to feed a crowd, but... ew ...).
But as most of us have learned,
grilling corn probably really is the
best choice. The smoky avor and gen-
tle char bring out the sweetness of the
kernels. The only trouble is all the con-
icting advice to soak, or not; to
oil, or not; high heat or low heat;
direct heat or indirect heat.
Over the years, Ive discovered most
of that really doesnt matter. My basic
approach to grilling corn is simple. I
husk the ears and rub them with a bit of
oil. Then I pop them onto a grill set to
medium heat. Now and then, I turn them
to get them evenly heated and lightly
browned. Thats it.
But even though my grilling method
is simple, I still like to gussy up my
ears after they come off the grill. My
recent favorite heaps of shaved
queso fresco cheese that is seasoned
with paprika, salt, pepper and garlic.
Of course, if you prefer to cook your
corn on the stove or in the
microwave, or even in a cooler this
topping is just as delicious on those
ears.

8 ears of corn, husks and silk
removed
Olive oil
8-ounce block queso fresco cheese
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 stick butter, cut into 8 pieces
Heat the grill to high.
Rub each of the ears of corn with a
bit of olive oil. Once the grill is
hot, arrange the corn in a single
layer on the grill grates. Cover the
grill and reduce the heat to medium.
Cook for 6 minutes, turning several
times.
Meanwhile, use a grater (large
holes) to grate the queso fresco into
a medium bowl. Add the paprika, gar-
lic powder, salt and pepper, then
toss well.
When the corn is ready, use tongs
to transfer it to a rimmed baking
sheet or baking pan that will fit on
your grill. Its OK to stack the corn.
Sprinkle the cheese mixture over the
corn. Arrange the butter chunks
evenly over the corn. Place the pan
on the grill, cover and cook for 2 to
4 minutes, or until the butter is melt-
ed. Serve immediately.

Pigs smart, sociableas dogs?
Activists pose the question
By David Crary
NEWYORK Theres extensive evidence that pigs are as
smart and sociable as dogs. Yet one species is afforded affec-
tion and respect; the other faces mass slaughter en route to
becoming bacon, ham and pork chops.
Seeking to capitalize on that discrepancy, animal-welfare
advocates are launching a campaign called The Someone
Project that aims to highlight research depicting pigs,
chickens, cows and other farm animals as more intelligent
and emotionally complex than commonly believed. The
hope is that more people might view these animals with the
same empathy that they view dogs, cats, elephants, great
apes and dolphins.
When you ask people why they eat chickens but not
cats, the only thing they can come up with is that they
sense cats and dogs are more cognitively sophisticated that
then species we eat and we know this isnt true, said
Bruce Friedrich of Farm Sanctuary, the animal-protection
and vegan-advocacy organization that is coordinating the
new project.
What it boils down to is people dont know farm animals
the way they know dogs or cats, Friedrich said. Were a
nation of animal lovers, and yet the animals we encounter
most frequently are the animals we pay people to kill so we
can eat them.
The lead scientist for the project is Lori Marino, a lectur-
er in psychology at Emory University who has conducted
extensive research on the intelligence of whales, dolphins
and primates. She plans to review existing scientic litera-
ture on farm animals intelligence, identify areas warranti-
ng new research, and prepare reports on her ndings that
would be circulated worldwide via social media, videos and
her personal attendance at scientic conferences.

Yesterday, a bench warrant was issued in
the amount of $20,000 and the case was
continued to Sept. 5, according to the San
Mateo County District Attorneys Office.
We will be seeking to have him returned
to San Mateo County for that date, Chief
Deputy District Attorney Karen Guidotti
wrote the Daily Journal in an email yester-
day.
Simat pleaded no contest in May to four
counts of felony burglary as nine other
charges against him were dropped.
Authorities arrested Simat at a friends
home in Pinole after police received a
tip in April, according to the South San
Francisco Police Department. Police
said Simat admitted to committing
numerous iPhone and iPad thefts and
said they were stolen to support a hero-
in and oxycontin habit.
The deal he made with San Mateo County
prosecutors would keep Simat out of state
prison with a chance to receive drug coun-
seling. He is facing a year in county jail for
his crimes in this county.
During a stretch starting in late February,
numerous iPhone thefts happened through-
out the Peninsula after a man entered vari-
ous businesses and pretended to be a cus-
tomer while talking at length. The same
man went to businesses in South San
Francisco, Burlingame and Daly City.
When employees were distracted or left the
area, Simat would quickly steal iPhones,
iPads and other electronics from employ-
ees desks. During these interactions, he
referred to himself as Mike or Michael and
claimed to be a computer guy who recently
inherited money, according to police.
He is also suspected of burglary and theft
in Pleasanton.

SIMAT
By Mike Schneider and Tamara Lush
TAVARES, Fla. Aseries of explosions
rocked a central Florida propane gas plant,
igniting a 200-foot high fireball, and sent
the sound of boom after boom after
boom through the neighborhood around
it. Eight people were injured, with at least
four in critical condition.
John Herrell of the Lake County
Sheriffs Office said early Tuesday that no
one died despite massive blasts that ripped
through the Blue Rhino propane plant
property late Monday night. Officials ini-
tially scrambled to find more than a dozen
employees after the explosions.
Neighboring houses were evacuated, but
no damage to them was reported.
Management is comfortable saying all
of those they knew were there tonight
have been accounted for, he said.
Tavares Fire Chief Richard Keith said
possible causes of the explosion may be
either equipment malfunction or human
error. Sabotage was not suspected.
The federal Occupational Safety and
Health Administration launched an inves-
tigation, as did the Florida State Fire
Marshals office.
One person injured in the explosion was
listed in critical condition at University
of Florida Health Shands Hospital and
three others were listed in critical condi-
tion at Orlando Regional Medical Center.
Herrell said some others drove themselves
to area hospitals.
Tavares Fire Department Battalion
Commander Eric Wages said five workers
walked up to a command center firefighters
set up near the plant Monday night with
skin hanging off their arms, torso and
faces. He said their arms were outstretched
and they were in complete shock.
The Blue Rhino plant, which is north-
west of Orlando, refilled propane tanks
typically used gas grills and other home
uses. There were some 53,000 20-pound
canisters at the plant on Monday.
Smoke still billowed on Tuesday morn-
ing from a storage container on the prop-
erty, which consists of a couple of ware-
houses next to each other. The parking lot
was littered with thousands of blackened
20-pound propane containers.
Nearby, three 33,000-pound tanks of
propane sat untouched. Lake County
Battalion Chief Chris Croughwell said the
hoses designed to spray water on the large
tanks in case of fire, did not go off as
planned because they had to be manually
activated. Most sane people dont stick
around for an event like this, he added.
Tavares Mayor Robert Wolfe said
Tuesday that he was surprised to learn the
hoses at the plant had to be manually acti-
vated. If Blue Rhino reopens the plant,
Wolfe said he plans to raise the safety
issue. That way, its fail safe, Wolfe
said. Were lucky those tanks didnt
explode.
One of the large tanks had a small leak
that was detected mid-morning, so fire
officials poured water on it and later began
draining it, Wolfe said. The threat was
considered minimal and no evacuation was
ordered, he said.
The Florida Division of Emergency
Management responded overnight and
briefed Gov. Rick Scott.
Gene Williams, a third-shift mainte-
nance worker at the plant, said he was at
the back of the warehouse when he heard
two loud explosions. Most of the workers
were inside the facility, but there were
about five in the parking lot.
When he went to look outside, there was
a fireball about 20-feet-by-20-feet about
100 yards from the plants loading dock in
an area where the 20-pound propane canis-
ters are stored on plastic pallets.
After that, a forklift driver stumbled into
the building. He had flesh hanging off his
hands, and his legs and face were burned.
Williams said he got the man in a van as
the cylinders from the 20-pound tanks
starting falling down around them.
He said they were doing repairs and
painting the tanks when one of the paint
lines had broken, but it was repaired. The
workers were getting ready to go home
when the explosion happened.

There are 2,281 homeless people in
the county as of January, with 1,299
unsheltered homeless people and 982
sheltered homeless people, according
to the report.
Wendy Goldberg, homeless and shel-
ter care manager at the Human Services
Agency, said the rent rise has had a
signicant impact on homelessness in
the county since many cant find
affordable housing now.
Its kept some families in shelters a
little longer because of the affordable
housing shortage, Goldberg said.
Were trying to get people out of
shelters quicker, so we were awarded a
grant that would help people pay their
first months rent and security
deposit.
The grant came from the states
Department of Community Services
and Development and provides
$100,000 for the Rapid Re-Housing
Project, which is administered by the
Samaritan House and took effect July
1. The grant, awarded in April, helps
run a homeless services targeted initia-
tive to provide rental assistance to
homeless families and individuals who
are ready to exit a shelter, but lack the
savings to secure permanent housing.
Bill Lowell, director of the countys
Department of Housing, said its
absolutely true to say that its a crisis
to nd places to rent in the county.
He said the countys Section 8
Housing Choice Voucher program is
not enough in this climate to help
those struggling to pay rents in the
area. The program pays an average
$1,150 per client on a months rent.
Rents are rising so rapidly that
were paying a higher percentage of
rents, Lowell said. Renters are nd-
ing it difcult to locate units in the
county and if a person has a voucher
and 10 other people show up for a land-
lords ad, the person with the voucher
wont get it opposed to someone with
cash in hand. Were pulling our hair
out over here.
Additionally, legislation by
Assemblyman Rich Gordon, D-Menlo
Park, is currently in the Senate
Appropriations Committee. The bill,
Assembly Bill 532, would stop the
transfer of $8.8 million into the
CalHOME program in November.
While CalHOME would still use the
money for the same goal of affordable
housing, Gordon said it does not lever-
age the funds the way local entities
like the Housing Endowment and
Regional Trust of San Mateo County
do.

tainability goals. I feel the timing is
right to retire. I believe I am leaving
the city in a good place to move for-
ward, Loftus wrote in the statement.
She was hired as San Mateos eco-
nomic development manager in 1987
after working in the policy department
of the Sacramento Housing and
Redevelopment Agency.
She transferred to the City
Managers Ofce in 1990.
In 1998, she pushed for the passage
of Measure C, a hotel tax increase, that
funded the construction of the citys
new police headquarters and the recon-
struction of the citys re stations.
She is also a big proponent of shared
services, entering into agreements
with neighboring cities to consolidate
some re services.
She oversees a nearly $160 million
budget and about 520 employees.
Loftus could not be reached for com-
ment last night.
The announcement of Loftus retire-
ment follows news that the citys cur-
rent Community Development
Director Lisa Grote will retire in
September.
The Planning Division also had two
high-ranking employees, Lisa Ring
and Stephen Scott, resign earlier this
year. The city has hired some contract
workers in the meantime to ll those
positions.
The City Council recently approved
an audit of the Community
Development Department following
the controversial 7-Eleven approval
that has landed the city in court and for
other issues as well.
Mayor David Lim pushed for the
audit earlier this year after what he said
were several gaffes made by the city
even beyond the 7-Eleven issue.
He praised Loftus, however, as did
councilmen Brandt Grotte and Jack
Matthews in last nights press release.
The legacy of Susan Loftus is that
she has left the city of San Mateo well
poised for great things as we head into
the 21st century. The City Council and
residents of San Mateo are forever
grateful for her service and wish her
well in all future endeavors, Lim
wrote in a statement.

the Beachwood property over the peri-
od of time covered by the ICW poli-
cies. The city was ordered by a judge to
pay developers about $18 million,
which forced it to seek the bonds.
Im very proud of the work we
have done on the bonding issue.
When you are dealing with litiga-
tion, you are always on pins and nee-
dles, Vice Mayor John Muller said
about seeking the payments from
ICW, which it had disputed. An arbi-
trator sided with the city in
September on the $10 million in
insurance payments it sought from
ICW. The city also was awarded
another $3 million in insurance
money back in March.
The costly litigation has trans-
formed the city dramatically since it
lost the case, forcing it to get rid of its
own police department and reducing
staff drastically. The city is now pri-
marily a contract city, partnering with
the Sheriffs Ofce, for instance, to
provide police service for the coastal
city.
The cuts we had to go through were
so devastating, Councilwoman
Naomi Patridge told the Daily Journal.
It is a godsend to bring us back into
the black. The council made the right
decision to pay down the debt.
Critical components of the bond
reduction program were the develop-
ment of an escrow agreement with U.S.
Bank that establishes an irrevocable
trust that will be used to redeem the
bonds in a way that is most nancially
benecial and bidding for securities
that will provide secure investment
income to apply toward the bond
redemption.
Knowing that the $13.15 million
in insurance proceeds has been placed
into irrevocable escrow to be used
strictly for the purpose of paying
down Half Moon Bays bond debt is
quite reassuring, stated Mayor Rick
Kowalczyk. In addition to paying off
the debt much earlier than anticipated,
our annual savings can be applied
toward important needs within our
community which is tremendous
news for Half Moon Bay.

LeO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Certain things that are
signifcant to you might not be of equal interest to your
friends. Pushing your opinions on them regardless of
this fact could make them feel very uncomfortable.
VirGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Even if it causes you
some inconvenience, honor your commitments. Your
gesture will be appreciated, and you may even learn
not to be so impulsive next time.
LiBra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Guard against a strong
inclination to force rules and directives on your co-
workers that you would never follow yourself. Set a
good example and remember to be reasonable.
sCOrPiO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- There is a high
probability that you could form a strong attraction
to someone that is likely to end just as abruptly as
it begins. Do your best to see people for who they
really are.
saGiTTarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- Things should
go rather smoothly for you, provided youre not too
indecisive. Think ahead as much as you can and
stick to the plans that you make.
CaPriCOrn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- A poor attitude
generally brings bad results, and today will be no
exception. If you treat distasteful tasks resentfully,
chances are youll end up having to do them all over
again.
aQuarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Although you
generally are a lucky gambler, there is a possibility
you might be tempted to take a chance on
something that you know is impossible. Youll lose.
PisCes (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Be extremely careful
not to treat your colleagues or partners in a brusque
manner. You may want to unload on them, but it will
only end up making everybody angry.
aries (March 21-April 19) -- Someone who is
skilled at uncovering information that should be kept
private may get you to reveal something that you
promised to keep to yourself. Be on your toes.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) -- You may fnd a
frivolous activity intriguing, despite its high cost.
Youre likely to take part, so you need to make sure
that you get your moneys worth.
GeMini (May 21-June 20) -- When promoting an
interest of yours, be careful how you behave in
front of others. Your image is a bit fragile, and you
wouldnt want to appear selfsh.
CanCer (June 21-July 22) -- This is not a good
day to debate controversial issues. Youre prone to
blurting things out that would be better left unsaid,
and you could even say something that would leave
a lasting scar.

DERS: If you are considering bidding
on this property lien, you should un-
derstand that there are risks involved
in bidding at a trustee auction. You
will be bidding on a lien, not on the
property itself. Placing the highest bid
at a trustee auction does not automat-
ically entitle you to free and clear
ownership of the property. You
should also be aware that the lien be-
ing auctioned off may be a junior lien.
If you are the highest bidder at the
auction, you are or may be responsi-
ble for paying off all liens senior to the
lien being auctioned off, before you
can receive clear title to the property.
You are encouraged to investigate the
existence, priority and size of out-
standing liens that may exist on this
property by contacting the county re-
corder's office or a title insurance
company, either of which may charge
you a fee for this information. If you
consult either of these resources, you
should be aware that the same lender
may hold more than one mortgage or
deed of trust on the property. NO-
TICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The
sale date shown on this notice of sale
may be postponed one or more times
by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trust-
ee, or a court, pursuant to Section
2924g of the California Civil Code.
The law requires that information
about trustee sale postponements be
made available to you and to the pub-
lic, as a courtesy to those not present
at the sale. If you wish to learn
whether your sale date has been
postponed, and if applicable, the re-
scheduled time and date for the sale
of this property, you may call 877-
484-9942 or 800-280-2832 or visit this

MADRID The driver was on
the phone with a colleague and
apparently looking at a document
as his train barreled ahead at 95
mph (153 kph) almost twice the
speed limit. Suddenly, a notorious
curve was upon him.
He hit the brakes too late.
The train, carrying 218 passen-
gers in eight carriages, hurtled off
the tracks and slammed into a con-
crete wall, killing 79 people.
On Tuesday, investigators look-
ing into the crash announced their
preliminary ndings from analysis
of the trains data-recording black
boxes, suggesting that human error
appears to be the cause of Spains
worst railway disaster in decades.
The derailment occurred near
Santiago de Compostela, a city in
northwestern Spain, late last
Wednesday. Some 66 people injured
in the crash are still hospitalized,
15 of them in critical condition.
The accident cast a pall over the
city, which is the last stop for the
faithful who make it to the end of
the El Camino de Santiago pilgrim-
age route that has drawn Christians
since the Middle Ages. The crash
occurred on the eve of annual festiv-
ities at the shrine, which subse-
quently were canceled.
The disaster also stunned the rest
of Spain, with Spanish royals and
political leaders joining hundreds
of people in Santiago de
Compostelas storied 12th-century
cathedral Monday evening to
mourn the dead.
According to the investigation
so far, train driver Francisco Jose
Garzon Amo received a call from an
ofcial of national rail company
Renfe on his work phone in the
cabin, not his personal cellphone,
to tell him what approach to take
toward his nal destination.
The Renfe employee on the tele-
phone appears to be a controller,
a person who organizes train trafc
across the rail network, said a state-
ment from a court in Santiago de
Compostela, where the investiga-
tion is based.

Pakistani lawmakers elected a
textiles magnate Tuesday to be the
next president of a country plagued
by Islamic extremism, only hours
after Taliban militants launched a
mass prison break freeing hundreds
of inmates.
The attack highlighted one of the
major chal-
lenges that
M a m n o o n
Hussain will
face once he
takes over the
largely ceremo-
nial post of
p r e s i d e n t .
Security forces
appeared total-
ly unprepared
for the raid in the northwest,
despite senior prison ofcials hav-
ing received intelligence indicating
an attack was likely.
It was one of the worst Taliban
attacks in recent months and raises
serious questions about the states
capacity to battle a domestic insur-
gency that has raged for years and
killed tens of thousands of security
personnel and civilians.
Pakistans president is not elect-
ed by popular vote, but by lawmak-
ers in the Senate, National
Assembly and the assemblies of the
four provinces. Many predicted
Tuesdays outcome because the rul-
ing Pakistan Muslim League-N
party, which nominated Hussain,
won majorities in the National
Assembly and the assembly of
Pakistans most populous
province, Punjab, in June.
Hussain received 432 votes from
lawmakers, said the head of
Pakistans election commission,
Fakhruddin Ibrahim. The only other
candidate, retired judge Wajihuddin
Ahmed, received 77 votes. Ahmed
was nominated by Pakistan
Tehreek-e-Insaf, a party led by for-
mer cricket star Imran Khan.
Controversy surrounded the vote.
The countrys former ruling party,
the Pakistan Peoples Party, which
has the second highest number of
seats in the National Assembly,
boycotted the election over the
Supreme Courts decision to move
the vote forward to Tuesday.

WASHINGTON Pressing ahead in a new
U.S.-backed push for Middle East peace,
Israeli and Palestinian negotiators agreed
Tuesday to meet again within two weeks to
start substantive talks in hopes of reaching a
long-elusive settlement within nine months.
Speaking after the two sides wrapped up an
initial two days of talks at the State
Department and visited President Barack
Obama at the White House, Secretary of State
John Kerry said Israel and the Palestinians
were committed to sustained and serious
negotiations on the core issues that divide
them. The next round will take place in either
Israel or the Palestinian territories before
mid-August, he said.
Kerry said he was aware of the deep doubts
surrounding the new peace effort and
acknowledged that the road would be difcult.
Yet, he said, While I understand the skepti-
cism, I dont share it. And I dont think we
have time for it.
All issues, including contentious disputes
over the status of the territories and
Jerusalem, are on the table for negotiation,
and they are on the table with one simple
goal: a view to ending the conict, Kerry
said.
The U.S. had already said the negotiations
would continue for at least nine months
roughly until the end of April 2014 but
that had not been set as a timeframe for reach-
ing a deal. Kerry and both sides agreed that
neither would walk away from the talks or
take actions that could disrupt them for that
period, two senior U.S. ofcials said. The
ofcials spoke on condition of anonymity
because they werent authorized to discuss
diplomatic talks.
However, the ofcials also said they expect
that the Israelis, over U.S. objections, will
continue constructing housing for Jewish
settlers on land claimed by the Palestinians
over the course of the negotiations, an indi-
cation the Palestinians are serious about
dropping their longstanding demand for a
settlement freeze before returning to talks.
The ofcials said the U.S. believes the
Palestinians also will not attempt to win fur-
ther international recognition as a state until
a peace deal is completed, an effort that one
ofcial likened to a potential train wreck.
Kerry said that Israel, which agreed on
Sunday to release more than 100 Palestinian
prisoners as a goodwill gesture, would also
take unspecied steps in the coming days to
ease harsh living conditions in the West
Bank and Gaza. The two senior ofcials said
those measures complement a $4 billion pri-
vate sector economic program that Kerry is
trying put in place to assist the Palestinians.
After Tuesdays conclusion of preliminary
talks, Kerry said, I rmly believe the lead-
ers, the negotiators and citizens invested in
this effort can make peace for one simple rea-
son: because they must. He said, A viable
two-state solution is the only way this con-
ict can end. And there is not much time to
achieve it.
Kerry said the negotiations, to be mediated
on a day-to-day basis by his new Mideast
peace envoy, Martin Indyk, would be cloaked
in secrecy and that the parties had agreed that
he would be the only person to comment on
them.
