    SUDDEN ACCELERATION CASE SET TO

    BEGIN IN CALIFORNIA

    By Michelle DurandDAILY JOURNAL STAFF

    After tentatively allocatingmore than $42 million in MeasureAsales tax money for the next twofiscal years, county supervisorsare ready to tackle two big-ticketitems seeking a piece of the annu-al $64 million revenue.

    The Board of SupervisorsTuesday will consider $11.5 mil-lion for seismic upgrades at pri-

    vate Seton Medical Center in DalyCity and $10 million for subsi-dized paratransit through the SanMateo County Transit District.The Seton request in particular wasone of the possible funding recip-ients mentioned on the November2012 ballot seeking the half-centsales tax increase which is whyboard President Don Horsley saidcounty residents shouldnt balk atthe request.

    I think we made it pretty clear

    in the election process that wewant to make sure all hospitals areseismically safe and it would prob-ably receive substantial assis-tance from the county. We werepretty transparent and I think wemade our case to the 65 percent ofvoters who approved it, Horsleysaid.

    Even if the Board of Supervisorstentatively approve the propos-als, it must still formally adoptthe plans this fall after all requests

    are vetted.The Seton agreement is for Oct.

    1, 2013 through June 30, 2014and facilitated through low-income insurance provider HealthPlan San Mateo. In exchange forthe money, Seton agrees to con-tinue providing safety net servic-es at current levels and use no lessthan $2 million on the state-man-dated seismic fixes .

    Seton will also be required tohire a consultant to create a strate-

    gic business plan which the coun-ty will fund half of up to$500,000. Once the plan is done,the county and Seton can work ona longer-term arrangement.

    The SamTrans subsidy is splitbetween the next two fiscal yearsto help it support paratransitwhich is federally required but notfunded.

    After dedicating their lives serv-ing their country in the military,many veterans assume their coun-try will then jump at the chance tohelp them out in their own time ofneed. But many veterans who suf-fer from disabilities after servingin the military are finding thatthey must wait years to receivecompensation from theDepartment of Veterans Affairs.

    Mike Mewkalo, 86, of Millbrae,served 23 and a half years in theU.S. military.

    When he sub-mitted a claimfor his heartdisease with theVA RegionalOffice inOakland inOctober 2010,he figured hewould receive adecision, or arating, on hisdisability with-in a few

    Once complete, the Block 2office development in downtownRedwood city is estimated todeliver about $350,000 annuallyto the general fund and another$10,000 yearly to the parkingfund.

    The figures are based on the cur-rent estimated value of $150 mil-

    lion although the expected proper-ty tax revenue could drop if theproject is eventually assessed at alower amount. The city will also

    gain other revenues from businesslicense, utility users and salestaxes but actual amounts are hardto pencil out without knowing yetwhat will occupy the space.

    The area in question is alsoknown as Block 2, which is bor-dered by Jefferson Avenue,Middlefield Road and the Caltraintracks.

    South San Francisco is one stepcloser to opening a larger bowlingalley at the location of the nowvacant Century Theater at 410Noor Ave .

    The Planning Commissionvoted unanimously Thursdayevening to approve the planningapplication for the expansion andrelocation of Brentwood Bowl to a39-lane bowling alley from itscurrent 16-lane one. The new cen-ter is slated to include a

    billiards/arcade area, 1,000-square-foot bar, 3,565-square-fo otrestaurant and 1,540 square feet ofoffice/retail space.

    This deviates from the trend inrecent years of bowling alley clo-sures along the Peninsula including Serra Bowl in Daly City,which shut its doors last year.Kings Bowl in Millbrae was alsoshut down more than a decade agoto make room for a housing devel-

    opment.The vote was a triumph for

    Brentwood Bowls owner, MillardTong, and its general manager of

    34 years, Roy Vanot ten.Brentwood Bowl has been part

    of South San Francisco since1951, Vanotten said at ThursdaysPlanning Commission meeting.We have a past and I believe wehave a wonderful future in SouthSan Francisco. Generations offamilies have gone through thebowling center and they keepcoming back. I would like to keepBrentwood Bowl an existing enti-

    ty in South San Francisco.The commission approved the

    On Aug. 16, 1942, sirens blazed andthe police squad car sped down theDaly City streets. After a confusing

    call at the police station, the chief immedi-ately ran to the garage and got into a squadcar, turned the siren on and, with tiresscreeching, proceeded to the 400 block ofBellevue Avenue in Daly City.

    Firefighters were already there when thechief spotted a navy blimp in a deflated statelaying in the stre et. A crowd had formed bythe houses on the street because the firemenand others were keeping them from gettinginto the gondola of the blimp. Ablimp is alighter-than-air vehicle that is powered and

    can be steered. This blimp was named L-Band was a 150 feet long and about 47 feet atits widest and could be filled with 123,000feet of helium. It was powered by two 145horsepower engines that allowed it to reacha speed of 60 mph. It carried two depthcharges and machine guns. It was being usedto spot submarines along the coast anddestroy them if possible. Japanese subs hadbeen reported along the West Coast and hadshelled facilities in Southern California andOregon.

    After the war, we found out that subs hadbeen ready to shell San Francisco but thecaptain called it off and returned to Japan.

    Why were there blimps along the WestCoast and where did they come from? In1931, the city of Sunnyvale sold, to theU.S. government, more than 1,000 acres of

    farmland by Mountain View and Highway101 for a dollar. This induced the govern-ment to authorize the building a hangar forthe worlds biggest airship at that time the U.S. Navys airship, USS Macon. It wasdedicated as Naval Air Station Sunnyvaleand later named Moffett Field in honor ofRear Admiral William A. Moffett who haddied after the crash of the USS Akron during

    a storm on the coast of New Jersey April4,1933.

    In 1931, Hangar One, one of the worldslargest freestanding structures, was con-structed. Its floor covered 8 acres and canaccommodate six football fields, and is1,133 feet long and is 308 feet long. OnApril 16, 1942, control of the facility wasreturned to the Navy and it was recommis-sioned as Naval Air Station Sunnyvale.Later Hangar 2 and 3 were built to houselighter-than-air aircraft to defend thecoasts of the United States.

    Which brings us back to the blimp thatfell down in Daly City on Bellevue Avenue.

    A timetable was put together when theblimp L-8 left Treasure Island with two menaboard at 6:03 a.m. At 7:42 a.m., a oil slickwas reported seen by Cody and Adams fivemiles off the Farallones and they weregoing to investigate. This meant gettingcloser and lower to the Japanese sub, whichwould complicate the operation. There wasno further contact by the L-8. At 8:50 a.m.,

    radio calls to the blimp were unanswered. At9:30 a.m. and 10 a.m., a message was sentout to alert all airplanes to watch for theblimp. At 10:49 a.m., a Pam Am Clippership reported seeing a blimp. At 11:05a.m., a P-38 spotted seeing a blimp nearMiles Rock Light, a lighthouse near themain shipping lane a half mile from land.Ten minutes later, beach people reported

    seeing a blimp drifting and hit the cliff onthe way to land. Next the blimp dropped adepth charge on a golf course (but it didntexplode). After scraping a number of housesand power lines, it settled in the 400 blockof Bellevue Avenue, Daly City.

    Upon inspection by the authorities, it

    was found to have dumped its fuel, the radiowas still working, the gondola door wasunlocked and open, and controls for theblimps engines were switched on. Somehighly classified information was on theship, information that would have beenvery valuable to the Japanese.

    After an exhaustive search for the men andthe reason for the ships demise, a board ofinquiry had no choice but to rule that thetwo mens disappearance was unexplained.The two men, Lt. Ernest Cody and EnsignCharles Adams were declared dead.

    On July 1, 1944, NAS Moffett Field wasclosed as a Naval air station and turned overto the NASA Research Center. AlthoughNASA decided to tear down the hangars dueto toxic conditions, much debate was fol-lowed by a partial destruction of the hangar

    skins, hoping to maybe save the skeletonfor historical purposes. In April 2011, theexterior panels began coming down, start-ing on top of the hangers.

    Man killed on Interstate 280stopped to help crash victims

    Aman who was killed on Interstate 280 inWoodside Sunday morning had likelystopped to help victims of a crash, theCalifornia Highway Patrol said.

    Officers first responded to reports of acrash involving multiple vehicles onsouthbound 280 north of Woodside Road at

    about 2:40 a.m., CHP Officer Art Montielsaid.

    Apreliminary investigation revealed thatthe 25-year-old driver of a black Hondaallowed his car to clip the rear of a ToyotaSUV, causing the Toyota to lose control andstrike the center divide, Montiel said.

    Two people in the SUV suffered minorinjuries.

    Immediately after the crash, a witness in aJeep pulled over on the right shoulder andgot out of his vehicle, apparently to assistthe crash victims, Montiel said.

    As the man crossed the highway, he wasstruck by an oncoming Infiniti SUV andkilled, according to the CHP.

    Interstate 280 was closed for around threehours, and the driver of the Honda, who waslater identified as Charles Miranda, of

    Vallejo, was arrested by the CHP for sus-pected drunk driving.

    Anyone who might have witnessed the

    incident should call the CHP at (650) 369-6261.

    REDWOOD CITY The estranged wife ofthe Northern California limousine driver

    who was behind the wheel when a fire in thevehicle killed five women celebrating a wed-ding said he had been arguing with her onthe phone moments before the blaze,according to a newspaper report Sunday.

    Rachel Raquel Hernandez-Brown saidthat during their shouting match, OrvilleBrown turned up the music in the limo so hispassengers couldnt hear the tense conver-sation.

    The music was really loud. And I keptyelling, I cant hear you. Turn it down,Hernandez-Brown told the newspaper. Isaid, Youre not paying attention. Youknow, like, get off the phone. Stop callingme.

    One of the nine nurses in the vehicle saidshe banged on the partition to warn the driv-er that the back of the limo was filling with

    smoke.Brown told authorities that he initially

    misunderstood the warning as a request to

    smoke a cigarette and kept driving.Hernandez-Brown, in her first comments

    about the May 4 vehicle fire, said Browncalled moments after getting out of the limo

    to tell her it was ablaze.He was continuously calling me back,

    she told the Mercury News. I said, Well,what made you call me first? He said, Wel l,I dont know, I didnt know who else tocall.

    The couple have four children and separat-ed about a month before the fire on the SanMateo Bridge.

    Hernandez-Brown called police hoursbefore the blaze to report that Brown hadkicked and dented her car during an argu-ment. He had left the scene before policearrived.

    We need to follow up on this, KarenGuidotti, chief deputy San Mateo Countydistrict attorney, told the newspaper whentold of its finding.

    California High Patrol Capt. MikeMaskarich said Sunday that investigatorsdid interview Hernandez-Brown, but hedeclined to discuss what she said.

    LOS ANGELES Noriko Unowas afraid of driving fast, oftenavoiding the freeway and takingthe same route every day from her

    Upland home to and from her fam-ilys sushi restaurant. She had putonly 10,000 miles on her 2006Camry in about four years.

    So when her car unexpectedlyaccelerated to speeds up to 100mph on a street with a posted limitof 30, the 66-year-old bookkeeperdid everything she could to slowdown, stepping on the brake pedaland pulling the emergency handleas she swerved to avoid hittingother vehicles.

    Uno was killed when her carwent onto a median and struck atelephone pole and a tree.

    First to trialHer case is the first to go to trial

    in a proceeding that could deter-mine whether Toyota M otor Co rp.should be held liable for suddenunintended acceleration in itsvehicles a claim made bymotorists that plagued theJapanese automaker and led to law-suits, settlements and recalls ofmillions of its cars and SUVs.

    Toyota decided to make safetyan option instead of a standard ontheir vehicles, said attorney GaroMardirossian, who is representingUnos husband and son. Theydecided to save a few bucks, and by

    doing so, it cost lives.Toyota has said there was no

    defect in Unos Camry. Theautomaker has blamed such crash-es on accelerators that got stuck,

    floor mats that trapped the gaspedal and driver error. The compa-ny has settled some wrongfuldeath cases and agreed to pay morethan $1 billion to resolve lawsuitswhere owners said the value oftheir vehicles plummeted afterToyotas recalls because of sud-den-acceleration concerns.

    The Uno trial, starting with juryselection Monday, is expected tolast two months. The proceedingrepresents the first of the bell-wether cases in state courts, whichare chosen by a judge to help pre-

    dict the potential outcome of otherlawsuits making similar claims.

    Other cases expected to go totrial in state courts this yearinclude one in Oklahoma and

    another in Michigan. There aremore than 80 similar cases filed instate courts.

    The Toyota litigation has goneon parallel tracks in state and fed-eral court with both sides agreeingto settlements so far. A federal

    judge in Orange County i s dealingwith both wrongful death and eco-nomic loss lawsuits that havebeen consolidated. Hes expectedto give final approval to the eco-nomic loss settlement next week.

    Federal lawsuits contend thatToyotas electronic throttle con-

    trol system was defective andcaused vehicles to surge unexpect-edly. Plaintiffs attorneys havedeposed Toyota employees,reviewed software code and poredover thousands of documents.

    Toyota has denied the allegation

    and neither the National HighwayTraffic Safety Administration norNASAfound evidence of electronicproblems . Atrial in one of the leadcases is scheduled for November.

    The Uno trial will likely focuson why Toyota didnt have a mech-anism to override the accelerator ifthe gas and brake pedals arepressed simultaneously in Camryssold in the U.S. The automaker putthe brake override system in itsEuropean fleet, Mardirossian said.

    Toyota said Unos vehicle wasequipped with a state-of-the-artbraking system and denied anydefect played a role in her death.

    We are confident the evidencewill show that a brake override

    system would not have preventedthis accident and that there was nodefect in Mrs. Unos vehicle, theautomaker said in a statementabout the upcoming trial.

    Legal observers said Unosattorneys wont necessarily haveto prove what was wrong with thevehicle, but show that the accidentcould have been prevented with abrake override system.

    If the plaintiff succeeds in convinc-ing a jury it wasnt human error, that itwas attributed to the car, I think theyhave a strong case, said Gregory

    Keating, a law professor at theUniversity of Southern California.Jurors, as drivers, are likely tobelieve strongly that cars shouldntbecome uncontrollable in this way.

    It was nearly four years ago whenUno, who was out grocery shop-

    ping and depositing receipts fromthe restaurant, died after her carwent onto a median, struck a tele-phone pole and then hit a large tree.Witnesses told police they saw Unoswerve to avoid hitting an oncom-ing truck, according to the lawsuit.

    Driver error?Mardirossian said Uno was a

    cautious driver and neither floormats nor driver error were toblame. He said witnesses heard theCamry engine racing and sawbrake lights going on and off.Pulling the handbrake had zeroeffect, Mardirossian said.

    Imagine her strapped into herToyota Camry driving 100 mph

    knowing the next move would befatal, he said. She saved manylives by veering off into that cen-ter median knowing that death wasnear.

    That same day Aug. 28, 2009 off-duty California HighwayPatrol Officer Mark Saylor and threefamily members were killed on asuburban San Diego freeway whentheir 2009 Lexus ES 350 reachedspeeds of more than 120 mph,struck a sport utility vehicle,launched off an embankment, rolledseveral times and burst into flames.

    SACRAMENTO Across theWest, early miners digging forgold, silver and copper had no ideathat one day something else veryvaluable would be buried in thepiles of dirt and rocks they tossedaside.

    Theres a rush in the U.S. to findkey components of cellphones,televisions, weapons systems,wind turbines, MRI machines andthe regenerative brakes in hybrid

    cars, and old mine tailings pilesjust might be the answer. Theymay contain a group of versatileminerals the periodic table calledrare earth elements.

    Uncle Sam could be sitting on agold mine, said Larry Meinert,director of the mineral resourceprogram for the U.S. GeologicalSurvey in Reston, Va.

    The USGS and Department ofEnergy are on a nationwide scram-ble for deposits of the elementsthat make magnets lighter, bringbalanced hues to fluorescent light-

    ing and color to the touch screensof smartphones in order to breakthe Chinese stranglehold on thosesupplies.

    They were surprised to find thatthe critical elements could be inplain sight in piles of rubble oth-erwise considered eyesores andtoxic waste. One eras junk couldturn out to be this eras treasure.

    Those were almost never ana-lyzed for anything other than whatthey were mining for, Meinertsaid. If they turn out to be valu-able that is a win-win on several

    fronts getting us off ourdependence on China and having aresource we didnt know about.

    The 15 rare earth elements werediscovered long after the gold rushbegan to wane, but demand forthem only took off over the past10 years as electronics becamesmaller and more sophisticated.They begin with number 57Lanthanum and end with 71Lutetium, a group of metallicchemical elements that are not rareas much as they are just difficult tomine because they occur in tiny

    amounts and are often stuck toeach other.

    Unlike metals higher up on thetable such as silver and gold,theres no good agent for dissolv-ing elements so closely linked inatomic structure without destroy-ing the target. It makes mining forthem tedious and expensive.

    The reason they havent beenexplored for in the U.S. wasbecause as long as China was pre-pared to export enough rare earthsto fill the demand, everything wasfine like with the oil cartels.

    JOINT BASE CHARLESTON,S.C. The audience gasped insurprise and gave a few low whis-tles as Defense Secretary ChuckHagel delivered the news that fur-loughs, which have forced a 20percent pay cut on most of themilitarys civilian workforce,probably will continue next year,and it might get worse.

    Those are the facts of life,Hagel told about 300 DefenseDepartment employees, most ofthem middle-aged civilians, lastweek at an Air Force receptionhall on a military base inCharleston.

    Future layoffs also are possiblefor the departments civilianworkforce of more than 800,000employees, Hagel said, ifCongress fails to stem the cuts inthe next budget year, which startsOct. 1.

    On the heels of the departments

    first furloughday, and inthree days ofvisits withmembers of theArmy, Navy,Air Force andMarine Corps,

    Hagel playedthe unenviablerole of messen-

    ger to a frustrated and fearfulworkforce coping with theinevitability of a spendingsqueeze at the end of more than adecade of constant and costly war.

    The fiscal crunch also lays barethe politically unpopular, if per-haps nece ssary, need to bring run-away military costs in line withmost of the rest of the Americanpublic that has struggled econom-ically for years.

    Everybodys bracing for theimpact, Army Master Sgt. TreyCorrales said after Hagel spokewith soldiers during a quick stopat Fort Bragg, N.C.

    Corrales wife, a military civil-ian employee, is among those fur-loughed, and they have cancelledtheir cable TV and started carpool-ing to work to save money.

    The effects of the economyhave started to hit the military,Corrales said. It was late in com-

    ing to us.The furloughs have hit about

    650,000 civilian employees butalso have slowed health care andother services for the uniformedmilitary, which has stopped sometraining missions and faces equip-ment shortages due to the budgetshortfalls. Troops were told thismonth they will no longer receiveextra pay for deployments to 18former global hot spots no longerconsidered danger zones.

    Troops already are facing forcereductions, and the Army alonehas announced plans to trim itsranks by 80,000 over the nextfive years.

    Officials agree that the militaryhas undergone cycles of expand-

    ing and shrinking of the forceover generations. Hagel said thistime is different, and worse, how-ever, because of what he describedas a very dark cloud of uncer-tainty hanging over the Pentagonas Congress considers whether toreverse $52 billion in spending

    cuts that are set to go into effectin 2014.

    At the Naval Air Station inJacksonville, Fla., Hagel told anestimated 100 civilians gatheredin a bustling jet maintenancehangar that the military had notbeen prepared for the $37 billionin cuts that took effect this year,forcing the furloughs. While hesaid he was deeply sorry for thestrain the crunch has put on fami-lies, he said he would not slashtroops training or other readi-ness budgets any further to pre-vent huge gaps in national securi-ty.

    Im sure you realize how dis-ruptive the furlough is to our pro-ductivity. So Im hoping that

    were not going to do it againnext year, Elizabeth Nealin, aresearch and engineering managerat the navy bases fleet readinesscenter, told Hagel.

    Have you planned for a reduc-tion in force? Nealin askedbluntly.

    Hagel said if the $52 billion cutremains in place, there will befurther cuts in personnel, make nomistake about that.

    I dont have any choice, hesaid.

    The spending cuts this year mayfeel more dramatic than in timespast because of a vast growth inDefense Department personneland equipment costs over the pastdecade, said Todd Harrison, a sen-ior fellow at the Center forStrategic and BudgetaryAssessments in Washington. Butcurrent spending levels are closeto what they were in 2007, whenthe war in Iraq was at its peak.

    So were not even back to apre-9/11 level, he said.

    WASHINGTON Three yearsafter campaigning on a vow torepeal and replace PresidentBarack Obamas health care law,House Republicans have yet toadvance an alternative for the sys-tem they have voted more thanthree dozen times to abolish inwhole or in part.

    vote on a plan of their own beforethe 2014 elections, or if not bythen, perhaps before the presidentleaves office, more than six yearsafter the original promise.

    Sixteen months before thoseelections, some Republicans citeno need to offer an alternative. Idont think its a matter of what wep oor right now, saidRep. Greg Walden of Oregon, whoheads the partys campaign com-mittee.

    East Cleveland Police Chief

    Ralph Spotts said Sunday thatsearchers should be prepared tofind one or two more victims, buthe declined to elaborate. MayorGary Norton said the suspect hasindicated he might have beeninfluenced by Cleveland serialkiller Anthony Sowell, who wasconvicted in 2011 of murdering 11women and sentenced to death.

    Its the latest in a series of high-profile cases involving the disap-

    pearance of women from theCleveland area.

    WAITSFIELD, Vt. SomeVermont farmers want to planthemp now that the state has a lawsetting up rules to grow the plant, acousin of marijuana thats moresuitable for making sandals thangetting high.

    But federal law forbids growinghemp without a permit, so farmerscould be risking the farm if theydecide to grow the plant that theDrug Enforcement Agency basicallyconsiders marijuana.

    Hemp and marijuana share thesame species cannabis sativa but hemp has a negligible contentof THC, the psychoactive com-pound in marijuana. Under federallaw, all cannabis plants fall underthe marijuana label, regardless ofTHC content.

    To grow marijuana for industrialpurposes or research, a grower must

    register with the DEA and meet spe-cific security requirements, such asinstalling costly fencing for a fieldof hemp.

    A national nonprofit group ispushing to change current law andmove regulation of hemp farmingfrom the DEA to the state. In themeantime, the group, Vote Hemp,does not recommend growing hemp

    while state and federal laws conflict.Its literally betting the farm,

    said Tom Murphy, national outreachcoordinator for the group. Farmerswho grow it, or even conspire togrow it and import the seeds face

    jail time and the forfeiture of theirland, he said. But its unclear howseriously the DEAwill enforce it.

    Murphy said hes heard that peo-ple have planted hemp on leasedland in Colorado.

    Now if somebody chooses to doit as civil disobedience, knowingfull well whats going to happen,then thats on them, he said.

    BRUSSELS Belgians shoutedLong live the king Sunday towelcome their new monarch to thethrone on a sunny national holi-day. But several legislators fromnorthern Flanders boycotted King

    Philippe Is coronation, high-lighting longstanding feudingbetween the nations Dutch-speak-ing Flemings and Francophones the biggest challenge the newmonarch will face.

    In his first speech as king short-ly after his father King Albert IIabdicated, Philippe made noattempt to paper over thosecracks, instead casting the coun-trys division between its 6 mil-lion Dutch-speaking Flemingsand 4.5 million Francophones asone of its strengths.

    The wealth of our nation andour institutions consists in turn-ing our diversity into a strength,

    he said after taking his oath ofoffice at the countrys par liament.

    The ceremony capped a day oftransition which started whenPhilippes father, the 79-year-oldAlbert, signed away his rights asthe kingdoms largely ceremonialruler at the royal palace in the

    presence of Prime Minister Elio DiRupo, who holds the politicalpower in this 183-year-old parlia-mentary democracy.

    Less than two hours later, thenation got its seventh king whenPhilippe, 53, pledged to abide byBelgiums laws and constitution.

    Big crowds of royalists andwell-wishers cheered the royalfamilys every move Sunday, froma morning Catholic ceremony toan impromptu dusk balcony scene13 hours later, with the once-timidPhilippe kissing new QueenMathilde several times under a fullmoon to augur in a sultry night ofcelebration in the royal park.

    We have lived through a beau-tiful day, Philippe told thousandsof evening revelers. Lets beproud of our beautiful country.

    Far from everybody in Belgiumwas happy with the new king.

    One Flemish separatist group,the Flemish Interest party, boy-

    cotted the parliamentary ceremo-ny, while the legislatures biggestparty, the N-VA New FlemishAlliance, sent only a limited dele-gation.

    We are full-blooded democratsand the purest form of democracyis the republic, said Jan Jambon,the parliamentary leader of the N-VA alliance, which has surged tobecome the main oppositionparty seeking Flemish independ-ence through democratic transi-tion. It wants the new king not tohave any role in coalition negoti-ations to form a new government,not be head of the armed forces andnot sign any laws.

    Boston bomberEditor,As a native of Boston and one of

    thousands of people frantically tryingto contact family members whoattended the Boston Marathon, I washorrified to see Rolling Stone featurea flattering picture of the suspect on

    its front page. The magazine now hasadmitted it enhanced the photo. Themagazine also claims they chose thatparticular photo to show youngerreaders that even a normal individ-ual could get caught up in a horrificcrime. I say bull. This terrorist actual-ly has a fan club and the magazineknows that. To illustrate a murderer inthe same light as a rock star is noth-ing less than disrespectful to all ofthe innocent victims. Many yearsago this magazine featured CharlesManson on its cover; however itillustrated the picture of a mad man.

    If Rolling Stone felt a need to fea-ture this person on the cover, itshould have used the picture of himstanding behind the small child that

    was killed. It would have been muchmore appropriate.

    The Boston Marathon has alwaysbeen a happy, festive event. I attend-ed this event many times as a childand all family members from infantsto grandparents were there. The ani-mals that committed this act of terror-ism knew what they were doing. It

    took more than two days to know thatmy family members were all account-ed for and safe.

    As the dust settled, our tears wipedaway and we got back to our normalroutine, it is nothing less than negli-gent for an entertainment magazineto bring back the horror by featuringan enhanced and flattering pho to ofthis suspect on their cover.

    Media exaggerationEditor,Most young black men who are

    murdered are murdered by other youngblack men. Statistically, a youngblack man has little to fear of anyvolunteer neighborhood watchers,despite the recent hyperbole. Themedia, by exaggerating the problemof racial profiling or police brutality,work hand in hand with greedylawyers who look to cash in on any

    tragedy that involves the police.Together, they encourage hostilitytoward law enforcement and discour-age our men and women in blue fromworking hard in troubled areas incities such as Oakland, Los Angelesor Detroit. So the slum areas in thesecities become even more lawless.

    Next time a young black man is

    shot by another young black manoutside Fruitvale Station and nobodyis willing to come forward with anyinformation, blame the likes ofMorgan, Cooper and Maddow. Theyare making a killing on top of thebodies of murdered young black menand are laughing all the way to thebank.

    No peaceEditor,Patricia Grays letter in the July 19

    edition of the Daily Journal is titledJackie Speiers town hall meeting,but ends with Pats opinions, whichare peace at any cost. She is willingto risk Iran with atomic weaponswhile she is relatively safe in theUnited States. Iran with atomicweapons could attack Israel and couldblackmail the United States, while itdevelops rockets to reach the UnitedStates. She wants the United States toignore the turmoil in Syria, Lebanon,Egypt, Libya and Turkey.

    Letters to the editor

    Orange County Register

    At the beginning of thismonth, the Standard & Poorscredit-rating agency released

    a positive outlook for California, thefirst since upgrading the states ratingto A, following the Legislatures pa s-

    sage of Gov. Jerry Browns $96.3 bil-lion budget. However, the ratingagency was not without its concernsfor the state still assigned the secondlowest rating, after Illinois, amongthe states.

    Largely free from public politicalrancor, the ease with which theLegislature and governor came toterms over the fiscal 2014 budgetreflects the states improved fiscal set-ting, according to the report pre-pared by S&Panalyst Gabriel Petek.

    That is good news for California,but, as the report notes, the budgetdidnt come out of the Democratic-dominated statehouse completelyunscathed as a fight broke out overwhose revenue projections the budget

    would use, the governors more con-servative estimate of a $1.2 billionsurplus or a $4.4 billion surplus pre-dicted by the Legislative AnalystsOffice.

    The spat, which the governor ulti-mately won, but at the expense ofincreased base funding for educationand a small expansion of some healthand social programs, showed thatSacramento, if allowed, would be

    quick to spend the state back into thenearly $60 billion deficit of threeyears ago.

    With the city of Stockton receivingjudicial approval in April to go aheadwith bankruptcy and as many as adozen other cities, including Fresno,San Jose and Oakland, facing similarchallenges, Sacramento should notbecome complacent with fleetingProposition 30 money, of which thesales tax portion is set to expire in2016 and the income tax portion by2018.

    Rather than spend their windfall asfast as they can, it is important thatthe Legislature avoid previous trans-gressions and use this deficit reprieveto come up with a realistic plan to

    pay off what the California PublicPolicy Center estimated in May to bemore than $848.4 billion in totaldebt, including unfunded pensionpromises.

    The budget fight, if it could becalled that, also highlighted an inter-esting part of the states budgetprocess: Number crunchers dont setthe budget numbers, politicians do.

    When the LAO was created in 1941,it was the first of its kind, a nonparti-san government agency meant to helpmanage the state budget. Its founding

    spurred many other states to followsuit and even provided inspiration forthe federal Congressional BudgetOffice.

    But while a growing number ofstates, nearly half, have given theirindependent financial agencies thepower to set revenue estimations forbudget formulations, the LAO hasremained purely an advisory organiza-tion.

    Although giving such power to thestates financial watchdog this timewould have run counter to the gover-nors belt-tightening efforts, the LAOhas historically been at odds with thespendthrifts in Sacramento over theirrosy budget projections. So, it mightdo the state budget some good if the

    Legislature was required to use morerealistic numbers from experts. Moreimportant is whether the Legislatureexercises fiscal responsibility withthem.

    The Sacramento numbers game In the middleof big treesD

    ennis Pawl, San Mateos arborist, loves his job butthe big challenge is diplomatically turning down acitizens request to chop down a heritage tree.

    Sometimes its a battle between neighbors some insistthe trees must stay and some want them removed.

    San Mateos heritage tree ordinance outlines the condi-tions under which a tree can be removed. Usually its ahealth and safety issue the tree is sick and in danger offalling. Or there are no reasonable alternatives to removalwhen roots are destroying a sidewalk or garage way. Thiswas the case in the recentcontroversy over removal oftrees in the Glazenwoodneighborhood. Aresidentwanted heritage treesremoved to enable construc-tion of a new driveway andgarage. The city decidedthere was no way to mitigatethe problem unless thehome owners paid an exor-bitant amount of money fora fix. Neighbors whodepended on the trees forshade and neighborhood

    ambiance were bitter.** *

    Pawl receives about 200 requests a year for removal of her-itage trees. About half of these are denied unless the tree is ahazard, is dying or causing damage which cant be reason-ably mitigated. But those reasons can be interpreted differ-ently depending on ones point of view. Occasionally, thecity asks an outside expert for an opinion. The expert can-not be a tree company which is in the business of removingtrees. Those requesting a removal permit must place a $350deposit with the city for each tree. If the permit is grantedbut they do not plant a 24-inch box tree replacement, thecity keeps the deposit and it goes into a tree planting fund.

    According to the citys ordinance, a heritage tree includesoak, bay, redwood, cedar and buckeye; has a trunk diameterof 10 inches measured at four feet above the ground. Or it isany tree with a trunk diameter of 16 inches or more measuredat 4 feet above ground level. Permits are required to work onthese trees. It is unlawful for anyone to remove or prune

    more than one quarter of the crown or existing foliage of aheritage tree, or more than one third of the root systemwithout first obtaining a permit.

    The City of San Mateo has adopted the Heritage TreeOrdinance because the citizens of San Mateo realize thattrees, especially Heritage Trees, are valuable to both indi-vidual properties and the entire community. It is the intentof the ordinance to pursue other methods of solving treerelated problems, using proven arboricultural techniques,other than removing valuable trees unless absolutely neces-sary.

    One of those techniques is ramping over roots.Pawl said if the tree drops too much stuff, thats not a rea-

    son for removal. But home owners with heritage trees ontheir property must maintain the tree in proper fashionwhich includes routine pruning. When planting new trees,some dont realize how fast some of them grow. Pawl saidthe key is to plant the right tree in the right place.

    ** *The city of San Mateo has approximately 24,000 trees

    located within the public right-of-way along city streets, instreet medians and within parks and city facilities.

    Approximately 39 percent of these trees are large enoughin trunk diameter to be heritage trees. They include 400coast redwoods, most of them in city parks, around cityfacilities (including the new main library) and within streetmedians. Central Park has 51; Beresford 93. The city alsohas a street master plan to determine what should be plantedin the public right-of-way along city streets.

    ** *Two of the oldest neighborhoods in San Mateo, Baywood

    and San Mateo Park, host most of the citys big trees. JohnParrott, while living on his spacious 377-acre Baywoodestate (1829-1917), supplemented the estates native bayand oak trees with redwood, eucalyptus, acacias, magnolias,sycamores, chestnut, palm, spruce and pine trees. In 1896,when San Mateo Park was founded, George Howard and JohnMcLaren planned 69 landscaped medians, with NorthernCalifornia oaks and redwoods and East Coast elms, maples

    and poplars. Some neighborhoods dont have enough trees.North Central, for example, is complaining about the 115trees Caltrain plans to remove to repair four aging bridges.Seventy of these are heritage trees.

    ** *Pawl has been with the city for 28-and-a-half years. He

    hails from the Midwest where he received a bachelors andmasters degree in urban forestry. He worked for a privatetree company for a while but always wanted to be a cityarborist. Despite the challenges, he loves looking after SanMateos trees, both big and small.

    NEW YORK Bulgaria, the United ArabEmirates and Pakistan. An itinerary for atraveler with a flair for languages or a list ofscenes for a spy thriller set during the Cold

    War?Neither. It turns out they are among the

    countries with the best-performing stockmarkets in the world this year. And the suc-cess of these so-called frontier markets,mainly in Asia and Africa, has attracted U.S.investors eager to find the next set of rapidlygrowing countries now that Brazil and otheremerging markets have fallen into a slump.

    These places might scare some people,says Russ Koesterich, global chief invest-ment strategist at the money-managementgiant BlackRock. But theyre seeing someof the fastest growth in the world.

    People had a similar response wheninvestors were dabbling in emerging mar-kets during the 1990s, Koesterich says.Brazil and India those used to be scaryplaces, too.

    Unlike the U.S. and Europe or even emerg-ing markets like China and Brazil, frontier-market countries are a grab-bag group withlittle connection to each other. But they

    have a few things in common. Theyre

    small, growing quickly and some, likeKuwait and Qatar, are rich. Many of themshunned the outside world for years and areslowly opening their doors to outsideinvestments.

    Thanks to rapid economic growth, theMSCI Frontier Market index has gained 22percent over the past 12 months. That com-pares with a 3 percent rise for MSCIs emerg-ing market index, and 25 percent for theStandard & Poors 500, the benchmark U.S.stock index.

    Investing in frontier markets carries plen-ty of dangers. Argentinas government coulddecide to take over more private companiesand leave investors with nothing. The war inSyria could spill into Lebanon and Jordan,upending their thriving markets. CotedIvoire, Pakistan and many of the 37 fron-

    tier countries have had coups, wars and otherturmoil over the past two decades.

    Buying into them has to be a long-termplay, says Jack Ablin, chief investment

    officer at BMO Private Bank. You have totake some leaps of faith.

    The steady rise of their stock markets hasapparently helped investors put aside theirworries. Theyve dropped money into fron-tier market funds week after week, raising thetotal to $3 billion so far this year, according

    to EPFR Global, a company which tracks theflow of investment funds. Thats triple theamount deposited in them last year and justshy of the full-year record of $3.07 billionin 2010.

    Cash has streamed in so quickly thatFranklin Templetons $1.3 billion frontierfund has decided to start turning away newinvestors. Its top holdings include aRomanian oil and gas producer, OMVPetrom, and a batch of companies fromQatar and other countries on the PersianGulf.

    Last month, Wells Fargos private bank-ing group, which manages $170 billion inclients money, took its first step into thefrontier, pulling a portion of its money outof emerging-markets like Brazil, China andIndia and putting it into countries like

    Pakistan and Vietnam.A key reason for the move was that the

    frontier markets are largely insulated fromproblems plaguing bigger countries, said

    Sean Lynch, the global investment strate-gist for Wells Fargo Private Bank.

    When stock and bond markets in the U.S.and Europe were rattled by talk that theFederal Reserve would withdraw some of itssupport for the U.S. economy, many coun-tries currencies sank against the dollar. But

    Lynch noticed that frontier countries cur-rencies held up.Why? As a group, these less-developed

    countries arent as tied to the worlds devel-oped economies. Their industries are grow-ing by selling to customers at home or near-by. Kenyas East African Breweries Ltd., forexample, has most of its customers inneighbo ring African countries.

    They really seem impervious to whatshappening on the main stage, says Ablin.

    The main attraction for investors is therapid economic growth. In theory, it shouldpull many people in those countries out ofpoverty, and as they begin to spend theirhigher pay on refrigerators and mobilephones, local businesses should flourish.

    A lot of them have growing populationsand expanding workforces, and they dont

    just rely on exports of food or oil, Lynchsays. Look at Vietnam. They traditionallyexported coffee, seafood and rice. Nowtheyre making high-end machinery.

    Frontier markets lure more investors

    Blue-collar workers poured into the cav-ernous auto plants of Detroit for generations,confident that a sturdy back and strong workethic would bring them a house, a car and eco-nomic security. It was a place where theAmerican dream came true.

    It came true in cities across the industrial

    heartland, from Chicagos meatpackingplants to the fire-belching steel mills ofCleveland and Pittsburgh. It came true fordecades, as manufacturing brought prosperityto big cities in states around the Great Lakesand those who called them home. Detroit wasthe affluent capital, a city with its ownemblematic musical sound and a storied unionmovement that drew Democratic presidentialcandidates to Cadillac Square every four years

    to kick off campaigns at Labor Day rallies.The good times would not last forever. As

    the nations economy began to shift from thebusiness of making things, that line of workmet the force of foreign competition. Good-paying assembly line jobs dried up as facto-ries that made the cars and supplied the steelclosed their doors. The survivors of thedecline, especially whites, fled the cities topursue new dreams in the suburbs.

    The Arsenal of Democracy that suppliedthe Allied victory of World War II and evolvedinto the Motor City fell into a six-decadedownward spiral of job losses, shrinkingpopulation and a plummeting tax base.Detroits singular reliance on an auto industrythat stumbled badly and its long history ofracial strife proved a disastrous combination,and ultimately too much to overcome.

    Detroit is an extreme case of problems

    that have afflicted every major old industrialcity in the U.S., said Thomas Sugrue, authorof The Origins of the Urban Crisis: Race andInequality in Postwar Detroit and a historyprofessor at the University of Pennsylvania.Its been 60-plus years of steady disinvest-ment, depopulation and an intensive hostili-ty between the city, the suburbs and the restof the state.

    All of the nations industrial cities fell, but

    only Detroit hit bottom. Staggering under asmuch as $20 billion in unpaid bills, Detroitsurrendered Thursday, filing the singlelargest municipal bankruptcy in Americanhistory.

    What happened in Detroit is not particu-larly distinct, said Kevin Boyle, a historyprofessor at Northwestern University whohas written extensively about his home-town. Most Midwest cities had white flight

    and segregation. But Detroit had it moreintensely. Most cities had deindustrializa-tion. Detroit had it more intensely.

    Detroits first wave of prosperity cameafter World War I and lasted into the early1920s, driven by the rise of the auto indus-try. It was the Silicon Valley of America,Boyle said. It was home to the most inno-vative, cutting-edge dominant industry inthe world. The money there at that point was

    just staggering.More affluence followed in the late 1940sand early 1950s as the auto industry wasbooming. Tens of thousands of blacksmigrated from the South seeking jobs on theassembly line and a foothold in the middleclass. In 1950, Detroits population peakedas a metropolis of more than 1.8 million,making it the nations fifth-largest city. Thetransformation was dramatic.

    PITTSBURGH The boom in natural gas drilling has casttwo opposing documentary filmmakers in unlikely roles.

    Josh Fox, a liberal environmental activist, finds himselfat odds with President Barack Obama. Phelim McAleer, afree-market conservative, is echoing the Democratic presi-dents support for natural gas.

    The two dont see eye-to-eye on much of anything, espe-cially each other.

    Hes a very skillful filmmaker, McAleer said of Fox.Hes one of the most trusted scientists in America at themoment, even though he has zero qualifications. I dontaccept that, but a lot of Americans do.

    Fox, in an email to The Associated Press, said McAleer isnot a credible source of information and is a climatechange denier.

    Their dueling documentaries the sequel to Foxs Oscar-nominated Gasland aired July 8 on HBO and McAleersFrackNation aired the following night on AXS haveclear aims when it comes to hydraulic fracturing, or fracking,

    the gas drilling method by which chemical-laced fluid isinjected into the earth to free natural gas trapped deep under-ground.

    Experts say the pro- and anti-drilling movements repre-sented by the filmmakers each have some good points even though Fox claims the process is an environmental andpublic health disaster while McAleer says Fox distorts factsand ignores the benefits of drilling.

    Dr. Jack M. Bourla, D.C., of ProvidenceChiropractic Center in Redwood City, was recently hon-ored as the California Chiropractic Associatio ns Doctor ofthe Year for 2012-2013.

    While fans came to watch theSan Mateo Shockers take on theRedwood City Blues on Saturday,Shockers starting pitcher SeanWatkins did everything in hispower to steal the show.

    In a performance that needed tobe seen to be believed, Watkinspowered through the Blues lineupstriking out 14 and allowing no

    hits in six innings pitched of a19-0 rout. Oh, and he added a two-run home run that traveled to homeplate on the opposite field of SanBruno Park, just for good measure.

    ing off-speed pitches to keepRedwood City hitters off balanceduring the entirety of his pitchingperformance.

    What makes facing (Watkins)tough is his ability to control andthrow his off-speed pitches forstrikes, Blues catcher Eric Betsaid. It seems like he uses is off-speed pitches to get ahead andthen uses his fastball as an outpitch, which gives him a hugeadvantage.

    While Watkins was busy wow-ing everyone in attendance withhis pitching, the San Mateooffense provided a plethora of fire-works on their own.

    Led by catcher Jason Marley andoutfielder Nick Waldsmith, theShockers exploded for 19 runs inseven innings by using a combi-nation walks, good base runningand numerous extra base hits. Ahigh scoring output of this caliberis hardly an abnormality for San

    Mateo. Theyve combined toscore 47 runs in their past threeoutings.

    When an offense is exce lling onthat high of a level, like SanMateo has been in the past threegames, it alleviates any stress thatis associated with a typical day inthe life of a starting pitcher.

    As a pitcher you just throwstrikes and let the defense work

    series finaleagainst Ariz.By Janie McCauleyTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS

    SAN FRANCISCO Buster Posey tookoff from first on Pablo Sandovals sixth-inning double with what looked like a goodchance of scoring the tying run.

    Instead, Arizona shortstop CliffPennington made the perfect throw home ona relay, and the first-place Diamondbacksheld off a late San Francisco rally to beatAll-Star Madison Bumgarner and the Giants

    3-1 on Sunday and avoid a three-gamesweep.

    It happens . Thats the way it goes some-times, Posey said. They made a good relayand a good throw to the plate.

    Posey got aboard on a leadoff walk in thesixth, and Sandoval followed with a doubleoff the wall. Third-base coach Tim Flanneryclaimed responsibility for the loss for send-ing the reigning NL MVP.

    You never want anybody thrown out. Ifeel terrible, Flannery said. I feel respon-sible for not getting Bum the win. It comeswith the territory. With nobody out, thatcant happen.

    Paul Goldschmidt hit a sacrifice fly and adouble against Bumgarner, Cody Ross addeda late two-run single, and the first-place D-backs bounced back in the series finale.

    Randall Delgado (2-3) won in his firstcareer start at AT&T Park, and Goldschmidtsfirst-inning sac fly got things going againstthe inconsistent defending World Serieschampions.

    We couldnt figure him out until later inthe game, manager Bruce Bochy said ofDelgado.

    GULLANE, Scotland One of the great-est final rounds in a major. Two of the bestshots he ever struck with a 3-wood. Thethird leg of the Grand Slam.

    Phil Mickelson never imagined any ofthis happening at the British Open.

    No wonder he never took his hand off thebase of that silver claret jug as he talkedabout the best Sunday he ever had at a major.Five shots out of the lead, Mickelson blewpast Tiger Woods, caught up to LeeWestwood and Masters champion Adam

    Scott, and won golfs oldest championshipwith the lowest final round in his 80 majors.

    With four birdies over the last six holes,Mickelson closed with a 5-under 66 for athree-shot win over Henrik Stenson.

    No longer is he mystified by links golf,and he has his name etched in that jug toprove it.

    This is such an accomplishment for mebecause I just never knew if Id be able todevelop the game to play links golf effective-ly, Mickelson said. To play the best roundarguably of my career, to putt better than Iveever putted, to shoot the round of my life ... itfeels amazing to win the claret jug.

    Introduced as the champion golfer of theyear, he held the oldest trophy in golf over

    his head to show it off to one side of themassive grandstand lining the 18th green atMuirfield, and then the other. An hour earli-er, they gave the 43-year-old Mickelson theloudest ovation of the week as he walked upthe final fairway.

    He drained an 8-foot birdie putt and thrusthis arms in the air, hugged caddie JimBones Mackay and whispered to him, Idid it. After signing for the lowest finalround ever at Muirfield, Mickelson huddled

    By Joe ResnickTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS

    ANAHEIM For BartoloColon, life not only has begunagain at 40, its even sweeter thistime around.

    Colon pitched a four-hitter forhis third shutout this season andcenter fielder Chris Young robbedAlbert Pujols of a home run tohelp the Oakland Athletics beatthe Los Angeles Angels 6-0 onSunday.

    Ive been trying to explain itall year and I cant, As managerBob Melvin said when asked howColon is still able to pitch at sucha high level in his 16th big leagueseason.

    Hes a competitor. He loves toplay the game and he loves pitch-ing. Hes always in a great mood,and hes in an even better mood onthe day hes pitching whichyou very rarely see with starting

    pitchers. Hes just pitching with alot of confidence, and we have alot of confidence when hes on the

    mound.Eric Sogard

    hit a two-runhomer to backColon (13-3),who struck outfive and walked

    one. The right-hander, makinghis first startsince returning

    from his third All-Star game, tiedMax Scherzer and AdamWainwright for the major leaguelead in wins while reducing hisERA to 2.52.

    Its pretty amazing and hewas sick today on top of it,Melvin added. You saw the veloc-ity. It was down all day, so he did ita little bit differently today withmore movement and less power and he still got it done.

    Colon is 10-1 with a 1.46 ERAover his last 12 outings.

    It seems like hes dipped into

    the fountain of youth, Angelsmanager Mike Scioscia said. Hesthrowing the ball as well as he was

    10 years ago, and theres obviou s-ly been a resurgence in his career.For a couple of years, it lookedlike age was catching up with Bartand his velocity wasnt quitethere. But hes always had incredi-ble command.

    The 116-pitch complete gamewas Colons 35th in 395 bigleague starts, and the shutout wasthe 12th of his career. Young pre-served Oaklands ninth shutout ofthe year when he pulled backPujols bid for his 492nd homerleading off the seventh.

    Pujols came up again in theninth with runners at first and sec-ond and took a called third strikebefore Colon ended it by retiringJosh Hamilton on a fly to left.Melvin went to the mound afterColon gave up one-out singles toJ.B. Shuck and Mike Trout, butreturned to the dugout withouthim.

    Hes never asked me for any-

    thing. Every time Ive taken himout of a game when it looked likehe could go another inning, hes

    always been great about it,Melvin said. But this was the firsttime he said, Give me one morebaserunner.

    Colon, who spent four seasonswith the Angels and became thesecond pitcher in club history to

    win a Cy Young Award with acareer-high 21 wins in 2005, is 5-1 with a 1.62 ERA in eight startsagainst them since leaving as afree agent in October 2007.

    Colon set down the Angels inorder in four of the first fiveinnings. The only exception wasthe third, when he gave up a one-out single by Chris Iannetta and awalk to Erick Aybar before retiringShuck on a double-play grounder.It was the 96th time that theAngels grounded into a doubleplay, second-most in the majorsbehind St. Louis 98 .

    Ageless wonder, is howAngels first baseman MarkTrumbo described Colon after

    going 0 for 3. Hes got a lot ofmovement on the ball. His pitchesall start out at about the same

    place. You just have to try andgauge where its going to end up.A lot of times its off the fist. Itsreally tough to pick up any spinoff his ball. Its a testament thathes able to throw games like thisat the age that he is. Its obvious-

    ly a little more going on thanwhat you might see.Jerome Williams (5-6) was

    charged with six runs fourearned and eight hits in five-plus innings. He lost his fourthstraight decision since beatingBaltimore on June 12.

    In his last four starts, the right-hander has allowed 20 earned runsover 13 innings for a 13.85 ERA raising his overall figure to4.73.

    Sogard, the No. 9 hitter, had noRBIs in 40 career at-bats againstthe Angels until he came up in thethird and drove a 1-0 pitch into thelower seats in the right-field cor-ner for a 2-0 lead after a leadoff

    double by Young. It was Sogardssecond homer this season andsixth in 392 career at-bats.

    Kemp homers, hurts ankle; Dodgers top Nats 9-2WASHINGTON Matt Kemp returned to the lineup with

    a home run and a double in the second inning, then limpedoff the field in the ninth.

    A too-good-to-be-true day for the Los Angeles Dodgersturned out to be just that. They completed a sweep of theWashington Nationals on Sunday with a 9-2 win that keptthem a half-game out of first place in the NLWes t.

    The game marked the first time Kemp, Hanley Ramirez andCarl Crawford were in the starting lineup at the same time.It might be a few days before it happens again becauseKemp hurt his left ankle sliding into home plate on a forcepla y, a needless injury that came from lack of hustle.

    Its not bad. I hope its not bad, Kemp said. The biggestthing will be tomorrow when I wake up and see how it feels.

    Manager Don Mattingly said the injury appeared to be asprain, and that no X-rays were planned. Nor did he expectKemp to return to the disabled list.

    Thats what I said last time, too, Mattingly said with achuckle.

    Sports brief

    THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

    BALTIMORE The passes weresharp, the defense sound and the goalsplentiful.

    The United States couldnt haveplayed much better, and the timingcould not have been more perfect.

    Clarence Goodson and Joe Coronascored during an eight-minute span ofthe first half, and the U.S. cruised pastEl Salvador 5-1 Sunday to advance tothe semifinals of the CONCACAFGold Cup.

    Eddie Johnson, Landon Donovanand Mix Diskerud added second-halfgoals for the Americans, who willnext play in Dallas on Wednesdayagainst the winner of the Honduras-Costa Rica match.

    Honduras and Costa Rica met Sundaynight as part of a doubleheader beforea sellout crowd at the home stadium ofthe Baltimore Ravens.

    Assists arent an official statistic inthe Gold Cup, but Donovan set upthree scores in a dazzling perform-ance.

    I think Landon proved again todayhow valuable he is and now he canmake a difference, coach JurgenKlinsmann said. This game wasimportant for coaches to see who is adifference maker. Overall, we see ourteam clicking more and playing betterand better.

    To say the least.The U.S. has won nine straight full

    internationals a record for the coun-trys national team. The Americanshave also prevailed in seven of theirlast eight Gold Cup matches, theexception being a 4-2 loss to Mexicoin 2 011 final.

    We are trying to catch up with thebig teams in the world, Klinsmannsaid. Its all about speed. Im nottalking about physical speed. Imtalking about mental speed, passingspeed with every player going bothways. Thats what were working to.This is a process and I think thatprocess is coming along.

    Rodolfo Zelaya scored for ElSalvador, 1-19-7 overall against theU.S.

    Collectively, theyre a very goodteam, El Salvador coach AgustinCastillo said through a translator.They almost play by memory. Theycan find the spaces. It almost seemslike every time they pass the ball intoa space its going to nobody, thensomebody appears and actually meetsthe ball. Good work, good move-ment.

    And good enough to claim a fifthGold Cup.

    Theyre going through a very goodtime, Castillo said. Theyre the bestteam Ive seen in this tournament.They are a candidate to win it all.

    Goodson put the U.S. ahead in the21st minute by converting a crossingpass from Donovan, who gained pos-session near the end line within 15feet of the net. It was Goodsons fifthcareer goal, the second in the GoldCup.

    Minutes later, U.S. goalkeeper NickRimando kicked aside a straight-onshot by Lester Blanco Pineda and bat-ted away the subsequent rebound at theright corner of the net.

    with his wife and three children backfrom a quick holiday to Spain for a longembrace and waited for the others to finis h.

    Westwood, who started the day with a two-shot lead, fell behind for the first time allday with a bogey on the par-3 13th hole andnever recovered, closing with a 75.

    Scott took the outright lead with a 4-footbirdie on the 11th, and then closed as slop-pily as he did last year when he threw awaythe Open at Royal Lytham & St. Annes. Hemade four straight bogeys starting at the13th, and a final bogey on the 18th gavehim a 72. At least he has a green jacket fromthe Master to console him.

    Woods, in his best position to win amajor since the crisis in his personal life,stumbled badly on his way to a 74 and wasnever a serious challenger.

    We know that he goes for broke, and ifthats how he was feeling and pulling it off,hes got the ability to do that, Scott saidabout Mickelson. And hes gone and wonan Open easily. So every credit to him.

    At the end of a rough-and-tumble weekalong the Firth of Forth, Mickelson was the

    only player under par at 3-under 283. In hisfour other majors three Masters and onePGA Championship he had never startedthe final round more than one shot behind.

    I dont care either way how I got this tro-phy I got it, Mickelson said. And it

    just so happened to be wi th one of the bestrounds of my career, which is really the wayIve played my entire career. Ive alwaystried to go out and get it. I dont want any-body to hand it to me. I want to go out andget it. And today, I did.

    Westwood, whose only other 54-hole lead

    in a major ended with Mickelson winningthe Masters, paid tribute to Lefty for whatwill go down as one of the great closingrounds in a major.

    When you birdie four of the last six of around any day, thats good going,Westwood said. With a decent breeze blow-ing and some tough flags out there, itsobviously a pretty good experience. Whenyou do it in a major championship, its aneven better experience.

    But this major? Phil Mickelson?He had only contended twice in two

    decades at golfs oldest championship. Oneweek after he won the Scottish Open in aplayoff on the links-styled course of CastleStuart, Mickelson was simply magical onthe back nine of a brown, brittle Muirfieldcourse that hasnt played this tough since1966.

    Tied for the lead, Mickelson smashed a 3-wood onto the green at the par-5 17th toabout 25 feet for a two-putt birdie, and fin-ished in style with a 10-foot birdie putt onthe 18th to match the lowest score of thischampionship.

    Those two 3-woods were the two bestshots of the week, to get it on that green,Mickelson said. As I was walking up to thegreen, that was when I realized that this isvery much my championship in my con-

    trol. And I was getting a little emotional. Ihad to kind of take a second to slow downmy walk and try to regain composure.

    Mickelson figured a par on the 18thwould be tough for anyone to catch him.When the ball dropped in the center of thecup, he raised both arms in the air to cele-brate his fifth career major, tying him withthe likes of Seve Ballesteros and ByronNelson.

    Best round Ive ever seen him play, saidhis caddie, Jim Bones Mackay.

    His final surge was right about the timeWestwood and Scott began to fold.

    because you know the offense will haveyour back, Watkins said.

    It should come as no surprise, with thetools that he has, that Watkins is beingheavily recruited to play baseball at theDivision I level. Watkins recently madethe 34 person Oakland Athletics area codes

    team, a squad built with the best baseballprospects in Northern California. Watkinsformer Serra teammate, Jordan Paroubeck,also competed for Oaklands area codes teamlast summer. A year later Paroubeck wasselected with the 69th overall selection inthe 2013 MLB draft by the San DiegoPadresjust to give a little perspective ofthe talent that Watkins possesses.

    In attendance on Saturday were two scouts

    from the University of California Berkeleywith the objective of finding out whatswith all the hype surrounding the young starfrom Serra. Following Watkins two-runhome run in the bottom of the 4th inning,the scouts from UC Berkeley abruptlypacked their things and left the park. Theysaw all they needed to see to convince themthat the hype is real regarding Watkins.

    Its humbling for people to come watchme, Watkins said. When they come outhere I dont want to press. I just want tohave fun, play the game of baseball andenjoy it.

    Watkins has already been offered scholar-ships by numerous schools including theUniversity of Hawaii, Loyola Marymountand Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. If he contin-ues performing like the way he did Saturdayin San Bruno, expect that list of schoolshounding Watkins for his signature on a let-ter of intent to grow rapidly.

    tion, the D-backs did just enough againstBumgarner in the 10-game winners first

    outing after the All-Star break.Ross singled in the eighth as Arizona

    won for just the fourth time in 16 roadgames.

    The Giants were denied their first sweep ofArizona at home since May 10-12, 2011.

    We had a chance to sweep the series butits big to win the series, so well takethat, Bumgarner said.

    San Francisco won the first two games ofthe series, but the NL West-leadingDiamondbacks (51-17) gained a game backto give themselves a 5 1/2-game cushionover the Giants and remain a half-game

    ahead of second-place Los Angeles.Bumgarner, for one, wasnt pointing fin-

    gers at the emotional Flannery.I dont think anyone is blaming on him

    except himself, Bumgarner said. Hes agreat third base coach and Im thankful hespart of the team. He takes it personal butyou are not going to be right all the time.They had to make two great throws, andthey did.

    Bochy said Pennington played it well.It looked like Buster was going to make

    it but the shortstop came up throwing,Bochy said. You hate to see that happenbut give them credit for making the relay.

    Goldschmidt, 1 for 9 in the first twogames of the series, doubled to start thefourth and drew walks in the sixth andeighth innings. Delgado allowed three hits,struck out two and walked four in 5 2-3innings.

    Having already convinced SanMateo County and the Bay Area oftheir championship potential bydominating district and sectiontournaments, the boys fromBelmont-Redwood Shores 11-12Majors are now making a believerout of Northern California.

    Belmont-Redwood Shores couldnot have asked for a better start tothe Little League NorthernCalifornia Tournament over theweekend. A trip to Roseville where temperatures reached ascorching 106 degrees endedfor a now with a 2-0 record and areturn trip atop the winner bracketpending for Wednesday.

    One more win for Belmont-Redwood Shores on Wednesday atMahaney Field and they lock up aspot in the Northern Californiachampionship game with a trip to

    the Western Regionals on theline.

    And it really isnt a matter ofcounting chickens before theyhatch for Belmont-RedwoodShores because, just like theyhave all post-season long, theboys in red and blue have beenconvincing in all of their wins.

    The weekend began with a 10-0, four-inning blitz of RiversidePark.

    Sean Lee was the star of thatvictory, pitching four innings ofshutout baseball and leading theBelmont-Redwood Shoresoffense.

    In the bottom of the secondand with two outs, DaylinMcLemore whipped a line driveto left field fence for a doublethat seemed to rattle theRiverside pitcher, who them pro-ceeded to walk the next three bat-ters. BRS capitalized with hitsby Brad Shimabuku and Dominic

    Susa to make it 3-0.But the knock that pretty much

    sealed the first victory forBelmont-Redwood Shores came abatter later when Lee when upwith the bases juiced and servedRiverside a nice, tall, cold glassof Grand Slam juice bydepositing a ball over the fenceto make it 7-0.

    On the mound, Lee was just asdominant as hes been all post-season long.

    BRS added more offense in thebottom of the third when LukeBugbee led with a bomb of hisown. He was then followed byJake Stulbarg, Daniel Friis andNicolas Lopez singles that madeit 9-0.

    Susa came up shortly after andhis RBI to left pushed theBelmont tally to 10.

    Things cooled off weather-wise on Sunday during BRSgame against West Sacramento.

    But what was lacking in the heatdepartment thanks to MotherNature was made for by the play-ers in Belmont-Redwood Shoresmost intense postseason gameof 2013.

    BRS prevailed 7-5 on Sundaysetting up a return to Rosevilleon Wednesday. But the game gotclose during its latter parts.

    Shimabuku was the hill forBRS and was spotted four runs inthe top of the third by helpinghis own cause. Shimabuku andSosa went back-to-back JackCity in another two-out rally forBelmont-Redwood Shores. Withthe score at 3-0, Lee and Douglissingled, Bugbee earned a walkand Stulbarg pushed acrossanother run on a base on ballsthat made it 4-0.

    Noah Marcelo padded thatadvantage in the fourth withanother postseason home run tomake it 5-0. Douglis picked up

    RBI number six with a sacrificefly.

    But West Sacramento made BRSsweat it out the rest of the way.The boys from up north scoredthree runs in their half of thefourth
