Digital billboard proposed for Millbrae

City could accept nearly $5 million by replacing hotel sign
By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

One of the landmarks for drivers

along the Highway 101 commute near
Millbrae may be receiving a major
face-lift and upgrade, as officials will
consider a proposal to replace an
existing sign with a digital billboard.
The Millbrae City Council is set to
take action Tuesday, Aug. 18, on a proposal to install a 14-foot tall and 48foot long digital display advertising
billboard, which would hang roughly
50-feet high with screens directed at

both directions of traffic on the busy

thoroughfare.
The digital billboard is proposed to
be installed where a current sign stands
promoting Millbrae hotels, on a piece
of city-owned land located east of
Highway 101, south of the Millbrae
Avenue exit, near the citys border
with Burlingame.
City coffers stand to receive a windfall of money, should officials approve
the digital billboard, as Outfront
Media has offered $4.8 million over a
20-year contract to allow the installation.

The advertising company would pay

the city a $100,000 signing bonus for
approving the lease, as well as
$200,000 annually for the first five
years of the agreement, with a
$25,000 escalation every five years,
until it eventually reaches $300,000
per year for any amount of time beyond
20 years.
The contract also includes a contingency which would require Outfront to
make additional payments if the lease
payment is less than 35 percent of the

Bent in Taiwan storm, two

mailboxes become celebrities

Literary litterbug admits

tossing 600 books from vehicle

TAIPEI, Taiwan A pair of roadside

mailboxes that were uniformly bent by a
falling signboard during a typhoon earlier this month have become celebrities in
Taiwan, drawing steady lines of people
to snap photos and inspiring fan merchandise.
Many Taiwanese think that the public
mailboxes resemble faces, and this sideby-side pair one green and one red
now looks especially cute because their
poles are bent in their mid-section at
similar angles.
They look like theyre smiling, said
Taiwans mail service Chunghwa Post

Thats pretty special. So we see a lot of
people out taking photos.

LOCAL/STATE

State measure fails

to create green jobs
By Julia Horowitz
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SACRAMENTO Three years after

California voters passed a ballot measure to
raise taxes on corporations and generate
clean-energy jobs by funding energy-efficiency projects in schools, barely onetenth of the promised jobs have been created, and the state has no comprehensive list
to show how much work has been done or
how much energy has been saved.
Money is trickling in at a slower-thananticipated rate, and more than half of the
$297 million given to schools so far has
gone to consultants and energy auditors.
The board created to oversee the project and
submit annual progress reports to the
Legislature has never met, according to a
review by the Associated Press.
Voters in 2012 approved the Clean Energy
Jobs Act by a large margin, closing a tax
loophole for multistate corporations. The
Legislature decided to send half the money
to fund clean energy projects in schools,
promising to generate more than 11,000
jobs each year.
Instead, only 1,700 jobs have been created in three years, raising concerns about
whether the money is accomplishing what
voters were promised.
Accountability boards that are rubber
stamps are fairly common, but accountability boards that dont meet at all are a big
problem, said Douglas Johnson, a state
government expert at Claremont McKenna
College in Southern California.
Democratic and Republican lawmakers
called for more oversight Monday and

Comment on
or share this story at
www.smdailyjournal.com
requested a legislative hearing to examine
the program.
We should hold some oversight hearings
to see how the money is being spent, where
it is being spent and seeing if Prop. 39 is
fulfilling the promise that it said it would,
said Assemblyman Henry Perea, D-Fresno.
The State Energy Commission, which
oversees Proposition 39 spending, could
not provide any data about completed projects or calculate energy savings because
schools are not required to report the results
for up to 15 months after completion,
spokeswoman Amber Beck said.
Still, Beck said she believes the program
is on track. The commission estimates that
based on proposals approved so far,
Proposition 39 should generate an estimated $25 million a year in energy savings for
schools.
Not enough data has been collected for the
nine-member oversight board of professors, engineers and climate experts to meet,
she said.
The APs review of state and local records
found that not one project for which the
state allocated $12.6 million has been completed in the Los Angeles Unified School
District, which has nearly 1,000 schools.
Two schools were scheduled this summer to
receive lighting retrofits and heating and
cooling upgrades, but no construction work
has been done on either site, LAUSD

spokeswoman Barbara Jones said.

The office of Senate President Pro Tem
Kevin de Leon, D-Los Angeles, previously
estimated LAUSD would save up to $27 million a year on energy costs; projects proposed by the district so far would save only
$1.4 million.
De Leon, the primary booster of
Proposition 39 in the state Legislature, said
in a statement Monday that the measure is
already successful and it is too soon to
assess its implementation.
Most school districts are either in the
planning phase or are preparing to launch
large-scale, intensive retrofit projects that
will maximize benefits to students, school
sites and the California economy, de Leon
said in a joint statement with the initiatives chief supporter, billionaire investor
and philanthropist Tom Steyer. He funded
the initiative campaign with $30 million of
his money.
School district officials around the state
say they intend to meet a 2018 deadline to
request funds and a 2020 deadline to complete projects. They say the money will go
to major, long-needed projects and are
unconcerned schools have applied for only
half of the $973 million available so far, or
that $153 million of the $297 million
given to schools has gone for energy planning by consultants and auditors.

which was contained Friday after
more than two weeks, destroyed
43 homes.
On the Central Coast, 250 firefighters gained 5 percent containment of a 300-acre fire north of

More millennials stuck renting

for years before buying home
By Josh Boak
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Home ownership,

that celebrated hallmark of the
American dream, is increasingly on
hold for younger Americans.
Short of cash, burdened by student
debt and unsettled in their careers,
young adults are biding time in apartments for longer periods and buying
their first homes later in life.
The typical first-timer now rents for
six years before buying, up from 2.6
years in the early 1970s, according to a
new analysis by the real estate data
firm Zillow. The median first-time
buyer is age 33 in the upper range of
the millennial generation, which
roughly spans ages 18 to 34. A generation ago, the median first-timer was
about three years younger.
The delay reflects a trend that cuts to
the heart of the financial challenges
facing millennials: Renters are struggling to save for down payments as
wages have largely stagnated.
Increasingly, too, theyre facing
delays in some key landmarks of adulthood, from marriage and children to a
stable career, according to industry and
government reports.
These shifts help explain why homeownership, long a source of middle
class identity and economic opportunity, has started to decline. The share of
the U.S. population who own homes
has slid to 63.4 percent, a 48-year low,
according to the Census Bureau.
And when young adults do sign the
deed, their purchase price is now sub-

Home prices have climbed to increasingly unaffordable levels while incomes have
remained relatively flat. A result is that younger adults are renting for longer periods
before buying their first home. A new analysis by the real estate firm Zillow found
that the typical income for a first-time buyer is $54,340, pretty much the same as
it was in the late 1970s after adjusting for inflation.
stantially more, relative to their
income, than it was decades ago. Firsttime buyers are paying a median price
of $140,238, nearly 2.6 times their
income. In the early 1970s, the starter
home was just 1.7 times income.
Millennials are still very interested
in buying a house, but theyre delaying
that decision, said Svenja Gudell,
chief economist at Zillow. Once they
start having kids, they begin looking
for homes. Were also finding that
given how much rental rates are currently rising a lot of folks are having a hard time saving for a down pay-

ment and qualifying for a mortgage.

Low mortgage rates have eased some
of the pressures caused by the higher
prices. But in many of the hottest job
markets, the gap between home prices
and median income is prohibitively
high.
Around the Silicon Valley tech corridor in California, the median home
price exceeds eight times the typical
income. That disparity is nearly six
times in metro New York City, almost
five times in Boston and Seattle and
above four times income in Miami and
Denver.

JOINT BASE LANGLEY-EUSTIS, Va. Faced with escalating aggression from Russia and China, the Pentagon is
planning to increase its use of drones by about 50 percent
over the next several years, using the Army and civilian contractors to put more of the unmanned aircraft in the air.
The decision to add Army and civilian-operated missions
to the mix was triggered because the Air Force which had
been running about 65 combat air patrol missions a day
asked to decrease that number to 60 because of stress on the
force. But 60 patrols dont come close to meeting the
demands of top military commanders facing growing security threats around the world.
Senior U.S. officials said that while drones have been used
largely to target terrorists and collect intelligence over combat zones, those needs may shift in the coming years.
Top military leaders, including the incoming chairman of
the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Joseph Dunford, have named
Russia as the nations most serious security threat. And
Chinas rising military power and island-building program
in the South China Sea have increased tensions and prompted a greater demand for U.S. surveillance and intelligence
across the Pacific.

FAA: software update may

be responsible for malfunction
WASHINGTON A technical problem at an air traffic control center in Virginia that caused hundreds of flights to be
delayed or canceled along a large swath of the East Coast was
possibly caused by a software upgrade, according to a statement from the Federal Aviation Administration on Sunday.
The FAA said the upgrade was designed to provide more
tools for controllers, but that the new features have been disabled while the systems contractor completes an assessment
of the malfunction.
There were roughly 492 delays and 476 cancellations
related to the technical problem, the agency said, which
resulted in about 70 percent of normal Saturday air traffic at
the Baltimore-Washington International Airport, 72 percent
at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport and 88 percent at Dulles International Airport.

Several small aftershocks have
been reported following a 4.0-magnitude earthquake that struck in Oakland
Monday morning, according to the
U.S. Geological Survey.
The 4.0 quake was reported at 6:49
a.m. and was located in the Oakland
Hills about a mile north of Piedmont
and 3 miles south of Berkeley, USGS
officials said.
The quake had a depth of about 3.3
miles and struck on the Hayward
Fault, which also saw a 4.0-magnitude earthquake on July 21 in
Fremont.
Several small aftershocks were
reported in the hour after Monday
mornings quake, the biggest of
which was a 2.4-magnitude quake in
the same area at 7:40 a.m., according
to the USGS.
BART trains were briefly delayed
by about 10 minutes Monday morning as a result of the 4.0 quake, which
prompted crews to stop trains and
inspect the tracks for possible damage. No damage was found and trains
are back on regular service, BART
officials said.
The quake was reported across the
Bay in San Francisco and on the
Peninsula, as well as out in Concord
and elsewhere in Contra Costa
County.
No major damage or injuries have

Cara Liu
before Judge Harry

case of 23-year-old San Francisco
resident Michael Anthony Jones,
who was arrested in connection with
the July 2 robbery and assault and has
pleaded not guilty.
Liu gave her testimony Monday in
case she is not available to testify if
the case proceeds to trial.
The robbery occurred around 6 a.m.
on July 2 as Liu and three other Bay
Area television news crews were covering the homicide of Kathryn
Steinle that had happened at the pier
the previous day.
Each news crew had their own news
van and had parked them in a row on
the sidewalk, Liu said.
She was standing in front of a news
camera preparing to give a live report
when she heard screaming and saw a
commotion off to the side.
Liu said she was standing about a
vans distance from the commotion
and tried to communicate to the live
anchor that there was a commotion.
She said she ducked for cover
behind the van and saw a man standing next to a black BMW sedan in the
street. The man had what she believed
to be a handgun extended and was
pointing it in the direction of one of
the news crews.
Liu said she looked for a license
plate but there wasnt one where a

license plate would usually be mounted.

Investigators were able to locate
the BMW used in the robbery and on
July 27, San Francisco police investigators, with the assistance of the
Oakland and Fremont police departments, identified Jones as a suspect
and located him with the BMW at a
Motel 6 in Fremont, police said.

U.S.: Up to 305 of Clintons emails

might have classified information
By Stephen Braun
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON The State Department

review of Hillary Rodham Clintons emails
so far has found as many as 305 messages
that could contain classified information
and require further scrutiny by federal agencies, the department said Monday.
In a court filing that was part of a lawsuit
against the State Department, officials told
a federal judge in Washington they would be
able to meet an existing schedule to release
copies of Clintons emails because only
about 5 percent of the messages reviewed so
far contain possible secret information that
could hold them back for further analysis.
The agency said those 305 emails with
potential classified data were among more
than 1,500 documents analyzed so far.
The filing came after Clinton said in an
Iowa radio interview that during her stint as
secretary of state in the Obama administration, she had never sent or received any
emails on her private server that had information
clearly
marked
classified.

Republican critics have warned that Clinton
may have compromised national security by
sending and receiving messages that contained secret information, but she has
sloughed off the criticism, saying she followed security guidelines and is the one who

made the previously withheld emails available to the American public.

If I had not asked for my emails all to be
made public, none of this would have been
in the public arena, she said in the interview, recorded last Friday.

Trump immigration proposal divides GOP presidential field

By Thomas Beaumont
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DES MOINES, Iowa Donald Trump is

dividing his Republican presidential rivals
anew with his call to rewrite the
Constitution to crack down on millions of
immigrants living in the U.S. illegally, and
to force Mexico to pay for a better border
fence. Scott Walker embraced some of the
plan Monday, but other contenders, such as
Chris Christie and Carly Fiorina, dismissed
elements as unworkable.
Trumps immigration proposal, his first

formal policy plan since

announcing his candidacy in June, won praise
Monday from the GOPs
conservative tea partyers, some of whom favor
changing
the
Constitution to reverse
the birthright citizenDonald Trump ship guaranteed to anyone born in the United
States, no matter the status of their parents.
At the same time, surveys show a majority
of Americans, including Republicans, sup-

port allowing many immigrants in the U.S.

illegally to stay.
Trump leads his Republican rivals in
national polls, and his proposal quickly
reverberated within the party, which has
struggled with the issue of immigration.
Party leaders are determined to expand the
GOPs appeal with Hispanics after the 2012
election in which Mitt Romney won just 27
percent of the Latino vote. But many
Republicans have adopted a hardline
approach on immigrants, appealing to the
partys core voters who play an oversized
role in nominating primaries and caucuses.

Traffic deaths up sharply in
first six months of this year
WASHINGTON Traffic deaths were up
14 percent nationally in the first six
months of this year and injuries were up by
a third, according to data gathered by the
National Safety Council.
An improved economy and low gas prices
have encouraged Americans to put a record
number of miles on the road, said Deborah
A.P. Hersman, president of the council. But,
she said, thats not the whole explanation
for the increase in deaths and injuries.
All told, nearly 19,000 people across the
country lost their lives in traffic accidents
through June, and the tally doesnt include
two of the historically highest months for
traffic deaths, July and August, said the
council, a nonprofit organization created by
Congress to promote safety.
If the trend continues, traffic deaths this
year could exceed 40,000 for the first time
since 2007, when there were nearly 44,000
deaths, Hersman said in an interview. The
increases began in the last quarter of 2014
and have been recorded consistently
through each month of this year, Hersman
said.

States raising taxes, fees

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. While
Congress remains stalled on a long-term

Nearly one-third of the states have
approved measures this year that could collectively raise billions of dollars through
higher fuel taxes, vehicle fees and bonds to
repair old bridges and roads and relieve traffic congestion, according to an analysis by
the Associated Press.
The surge of activity means at least half of
the states from coast to coast, in both
Republican and Democratic areas now
have passed transportation funding measures since 2013.

Palestinian hunger striker
tests Israeli force-feeding law
EINABOS, West Bank Palestinian hunger striker
Mohammed Allan spent his college years as an activist and
leader in the student wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad
group at a West Bank university. Now unconscious and
shackled to a hospital bed, the lawyer accused of affiliating
with terrorists has focused attention on Israels controversial detention and force-feeding policies.
Allan was arrested in November 2014 and held for two
six-month periods under administrative detention, which
allows authorities to imprison suspects for months or years
without charge. Israel defends the practice as a necessary
tool to stop militant activity.
He began his hunger strike in June, 63 days ago, to
protest his incarceration without charge and has been
unconscious since Friday at the intensive care unit of the
Barzilai hospital in Israels southern city of Ashkelon.
Doctors say he has organ damage because of the fast and his
condition remains precarious.

Rush-hour Bangkok bombing at

busy shrine kills 18, hurts 117
By Jerry Harmer
and Anusonadisai Nattasuda
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BANGKOK Police on Tuesday

combed through shattered glass and
other debris from a Bangkok bomb
blast that killed at least 18 people and
injured more than 100 the night
before, trying to determine who set off
the most devastating single attack in
the capitals recent history.
The explosion at a central Bangkok
popular shrine in next to one of the
citys busiest intersections went off
around 7 p.m., as the upscale area was
filled with tourists, office workers and
shoppers.
We cannot say anything right now
because theres no conclusion yet and
investigators were continuing to gather evidence, said national chief of
police Somyot Poompanmoung, who
was among those surveying the damage Tuesday morning.
With a powerful flash caught on
security video and a boom heard
blocks away, the blast from the improvised explosive device scattered body
parts across Rachaprasong intersection, spattered blood, blasted windows
and burned motorbikes to the metal.
Suddenly there was a big boom, and
the whole room just shook, like some-

one dropped a wrecking ball on top of
our ceiling, said Pim Niyomwan, an
English instructor working on the

to the shrine. The whole building just
shook. My four students were hysterical.
Video shortly after the blast depicts
a scene of shock and desperation: people running for their lives and crying
amid the debris. An emergency worker

the chest of a victim.
No one immediately claimed responsibility for the bombing.
Those who have planted this bomb
are cruel, Somyot said. They aim to
kill because everyone knows that at 7
p.m. the shrine is crowded with Thais
and foreigners. Planting a bomb there
means they want to see a lot of dead
people.

Firefighters, police hold moment of silence in Tianjin

By Paul Traynor
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

TIANJIN, China Firefighters,

police and officials held a moment of
silence Tuesday for victims of last
weeks huge explosions at a warehouse
in the Chinese port city of Tianjin that
killed at least 114 people and left 70
others missing.
The ceremony, briefly shown live on
national television, marks the sixth
day after the disaster, the first observance in the 49-day traditional mourning cycle.
That follows an order issued by the
Ministry of Industry and Information
Technology for nationwide inspec-

tions to correct workplace safety irregularities. The ministry lamented the

frequency of fatal workplace accidents
and demanded a thorough inspection of
all safety risks.
Prosecutors were also ordered to
investigate possible dereliction of
duty and abuse of power that may have
contributed to Wednesday nights
blasts.
We must thoroughly investigate
(the incident) and hold accountable all
those responsible, state media quoted
Premier Li Keqiang as saying. We
must give an answer for families of the
victims, an answer for all residents of
Tianjin, an answer for all Chinese people, and an answer for history.

The blasts originated at a warehouse

for hazardous material, where 700 tons
of sodium cyanide a toxic chemical
that can form combustible substances
on contact with water was being
stored in amounts that violated safety
rules. That has prompted contamination fears and a major cleanup of a 3kilometer (1. 8-mile) -radius, cordoned-off area in the port city southeast of Beijing.
More than 40 different types of hazardous chemicals were being stored at
the site with a total volume of about
3,000 tons, deputy national fire chief
Niu Hueguang was quoted as saying on
the China Fire Services official website.

Biggest threats to U.S. national security

The New York Times

n what order does the Obama

administration rank the biggest
external threats to Americas
national security? The short answer: It
depends on whom and which agency
you ask.
Ofcial opinion is all over the lot, a
sign of a rapidly changing world, different bureaucratic priorities and confused thinking. Which raises this question: If ofcials cannot agree on what
the most pressing threats are, how can
they develop the right strategies and
properly allocate resources?
Start with Americas military establishment. Last month, the Pentagon
put Russia at the top of its threat list.
Gen. Joseph Dunford Jr., the incoming
chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff,
branded Russia the No. 1 existential
threat in his conrmation hearings,
followed by North Korea, China and
the Islamic State, or ISIS. Other top
military ofcials have said much the
same thing in testimony before
Congress.
There is no doubt that relations with
Russia have taken a dangerous turn,
given Vladimir Putins invasion of
Ukraine and reckless exercises over
NATO airspace. The Pentagon is also
chang under budget cuts, and rattling
Cold War sabers may be a good way to
pry more money out of Congress. But
the idea that Russia is Americas top
threat is not shared by other important

Other voices
players in Washington, including the
White House. General Dunfords comments reected his own view and
doesnt necessarily reect the view of
or the consensus analysis of the
presidents national security team,
Josh Earnest, the White House
spokesman, said last month.
Last September, Mr. Obama declared
that at this moment, the greatest
threats come from the Middle East and
North Africa, where radical groups
exploit grievances for their own
gain. But which groups al-Qaida or
ISIS?
For some time, the administration
has considered al-Qaida the more serious threat because it carried out and is
still planning attacks on American territory while ISIS was mainly focused
on seizing territory in Iraq and Syria to
establish a caliphate. Many terrorism
and counterintelligence ofcials still
hold that view and have warned that alQaida operatives in Yemen and Syria
are exploiting the chaos in those
countries to lay the ground for much
more damaging mass casualty
attacks.
But on July 22, the FBI director,
James Comey, declared ISIS to be the
bigger threat. He told the Aspen
Security Forum he was particularly
worried about ISIS social media campaign, which it uses to prey on trou-

bled souls in the United States to

either join the ght in Syria or Iraq or
launch attacks in America. In February,
James Clapper Jr., the director of
national intelligence, cited threats in
cyberspace, including from Russia, as
the chief danger, followed by counterintelligence, terrorism and weapons of
mass destruction.
To some extent, the different
emphases result from different responsibilities. The FBI has the lead role in
preventing attacks in this country. The
Pentagon has forces deployed against
Al al-Qaida and ISIS and is responsible
for defending Americas NATO allies if
Russia becomes aggressive with the
Baltics or other allied countries.
While military commanders seem
persuaded that the chance of war with
Russia (the only country whose
nuclear arsenal is on par with the
United States) has increased, the risk
is only slightly higher than before.
The administration remains committed
to working with Moscow when possible to achieve peaceful outcomes, as it
must.
Gen. Martin Dempsey, the departing
chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff,
said in the 2015 national military
strategy, Todays global security
environment is the most unpredictable
I have seen in 40 years of service. A
formidable challenge for the administration is deciding what its priorities
should be.

immigration from
Mexico.Californias K-12 public
schools are currently 53 percent
Hispanic (including millions of
Mexican illegals) while
Massachusetts schools (No. 1 ranked)
are only 17.9 percent Hispanic.
Democrats encourage millions of
poor, uneducated, non-English speaking illegal kids to overcrowd
California K-12 schools, but these
same hypocritical rich Democrats
(Obama, Pelosi, etc.) then send their
pristine kids/grandkids to private
$55,000/year schools to avoid the
mess their open border policies create. Democrats give free drivers

American public
deserves better

n my experience, my barber shop is one of the last

places I would expect to nd myself or other individuals my age discussing Republican primary politics.
Last Thursday, I found myself doing just that, in preparation of what turned out to be one of the most fascinating
but least substantive debates that I can recall viewing in
recent memory. The debate was hosted by Fox News and
moderated by Brett Baier, Chris Wallace and Megyn Kelly.
More than 24 million Americans tuned in a national
record for primary debates.
Rather than routinely asking
me what kind of haircut I would
like as I sat down in the barber
chair, my barber asked me the
unexpected question of whether I
planned to watch the Fox News
primary debate in prime time, featuring the top 10 Republican candidates in the eld thus far.
Before I could answer the question, others in the shop quickly
chimed in with a resounding,
yes! Within seconds, the barber
shop transformed from a house of
Jonathan Madison
Hip-Hop and Rhythm and Blues
music into a live discussion of the upcoming presidential
debate. I was most surprised to nd that they were discussing
the debate in terms of a commercialized blood sport or a
much anticipated rematch between Mayweather vs. Pacquio
rather than in the traditional sense as a forum by which
candidates would be charged with difcult but signicant policy questions of great depth and importance regarding their
ability to successfully uphold the responsibilities as commander in chief of the most powerful, benevolent democratic
nation our world has ever known.
That experience came to mind as I watched the debate
that afternoon. As the debate began, the news pundits
announced the candidates as if they were prize ghters
rather than vetted and qualied candidates for the highest
ofce that our nation holds.
I optimistically thought to myself, perhaps this is just the
beginning of the debate. I was wrong. Many of the questions
throughout the debate were largely aimed at creating controversial statements and vitriol amongst the candidates. You
may recall one of the rst exchanges. Take for example, the
very rst question that Megyn Kelly posed to Trump about
his previous degrading statements about women. Or, take for
example Trumps deant and comedic response to the question that caused the live audience to give a resounding
applause on their feet. Such exchanges clearly revealed just
how much Trump is making a mockery not just of the GOP
eld, but more importantly, our entire political system.
It is important to remember that U.S. debates were not
always an entertainment forum for commercialized blood
sport between candidates. The presidential election of 1960,
between U.S. Sen. John F. Kennedy and Vice President
Richard Nixon, marked the rst televised presidential debate
in our nations history. The forum of discussion allowed little opportunity for gimmicks, one-shot liners and personal
attacks between candidates. The forum did not allow for
applause from the live audience.
Most importantly, the questions posed by political pundits were substantive and were focused behind each candidates record, their character and their ability to make significant judgments about important issues affecting the national security and future of the nation. The questions were aimed
at each candidates level of experience in public ofce and
with respect to important issues of the time, rather than on
amusing personal vendettas. The unfortunate reality is that
many Americans would nd this forum for debate boring
today at least that is what we have to believe after watching presidential debates in this day and age.
Over the last ve decades, debates have increasingly
evolved from educational forums by which presidential candidates could respectfully discuss the nations most pertinent issues, to a forum for entertainment, comedy and personal attacks. There is something fundamentally wrong
with a country that elects its commander in chief based on
popular gimmicks and outlandish statements guaranteed to
make news headlines. Perhaps former Florida governor Jeb
Bush and other Republican presidential candidates were
right to call out Trump for making self-serving comments
and his use of such a radical tone.
History has shown us time and time again that the most
popular leader is certainly not always the most qualied
and effective leader. Our next president should be elected
based on credentials necessary for the development, sustainability and preservation of our nations highest ideals.
The American people deserve better than a debate forum
that allows for gimmicks, entertaining controversy and
vitriol to blind them from the most qualied candidates.
They deserve a forum that best allows the American people
to witness and experience a candidate for their leadership
and tested experience, rather than a candidates ability to

NEW YORK The U.S. stock market

climbed on Monday as Chinas currency steadied and optimism among homebuilders rose.
Investors pushed the market lower at
the open, then began buying after an
index of homebuilders showed optimism at its highest since the housing
boom a decade ago. Gains were modest,
but broad as nine of the 10 industry
groups of the Standard & Poors 500
index ended the day higher, led by
health care stocks.
This continues to be a resilient market, said Henry Smith, chief investment officer at Haverford Trust. The
averages came back.
Global news was mixed. The Chinese
yuan barely changed, which was a relief
to investors rattled last week by a drop
of as much as 3 percent in the currency
after its surprise devaluation. Oil
prices, meanwhile, fell below $42 a
barrel for the first time in 6-1/2 years,
and investors reacted by dumping
stocks of drillers and other energyrelated companies.
The S&P 500 ended the day up 10.90
points, or 0.5 percent, to 2,102.44.
The Dow Jones industrial average rose
67.78 points, or 0.4 percent, to
17,545.18. The Nasdaq composite

climbed 43.46 points, or 0.9 percent,

to 5,091.70.
The gains for the S&P 500 pushed the
index to roughly where it was a week
earlier, before stocks around the world
tumbled on the Chinese news.
Bill Strazzullo, chief market strategist at Bell Curve Trading, said trading
on Monday fits a recent pattern of
investors toughing it out in the face of
scary headlines.
Weve weathered Greece, weve
weathered the slowdown in China,
weve weather trouble in our own economy and yet were in spitting distance
of all-time highs, he said. People are
still bullish.
Investors are hoping for good results
from retail earnings reports this week,
including Wal-Mart and Home Depot
on Tuesday, Target and Lowes on
Wednesday, and Gap on Thursday.
Overall, S&P 500 earnings per share
are expected to be flat in the second
quarter from a year earlier, the worst
results in nearly six years, according to

Amazons data-driven staff management

approach becoming more commonplace
By Mae Anderson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK Amazon isnt the

only company that is using data on
employees to improve productivity.
A New York Times article over the
weekend portrayed Amazons work culture as bruising and Darwinian in
part because of the way it uses data to
manage its staff. The article depicted a
work culture where staffers are under
constant pressure to deliver strong
results on a wide variety of detailed
metrics the company monitors in real
time such as what gets abandoned in
peoples shopping cards and what
videos people stream and encouraged to report praise or criticism about
colleagues to management to add to

more data about workers performance.

The story led to an outcry on social
media.
Amazons CEO Jeff Bezos said in a
memo to staff over the weekend that
the article doesnt accurately describe
the company culture he knows. But
experts say the kind of data-driven
staff management Amazon uses is set
to become more common as technology continues to transform the
American workplace.
Every company is somewhere in
process toward using data to get a better handle on who their top performers
are and to understand where people
stand, said John Challenger, CEO of
outplacement consultancy Challenger,
Gray & Christmas, Inc.
Companies, both large and small,
have been moving away from tradi-

tional human resources reviews that

rely on annual performance evaluations. Theyre moving toward a more
data-driven approach with more frequent feedback, check-ins, and other
metrics.
Consulting firms Accenture and
Deloitte both said this year they would
revamp their performance review
processes, for example, adopting a
more data driven approach that
includes more frequent ratings by managers and other internal feedback and
data that can be aggregated and analyzed to provide a better portrait of
performance than a single rating. In an
essay in the Harvard Business Review,
Deloitte said the new approach uses
the technology to go from a small
data version of our people to a big data
version of them.

IRS: Computer breach bigger than first thought; 334K victims

By Stephen Ohlemacher
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON A computer breach

at the IRS in which thieves stole tax
information from thousands of taxpayers is much bigger than the agency
originally disclosed.

An additional 220, 000 potential

victims had information stolen from
an IRS website as part of a sophisticated scheme to use stolen identities to
claim fraudulent tax refunds, the IRS
said Monday. The revelation more than
doubles the total number of potential
victims, to 334,000.

The breach also started earlier than

investigators initially thought. The
tax agency first disclosed the breach in
May.
The thieves accessed a system called
Get Transcript, where taxpayers can
get tax returns and other filings from
previous years.

Business briefs
Pet store operator Petco files for new IPO
NEW YORK Petco plans to go public again almost
nine years after two private equity firms bought the pet
store operator.
For the purpose of calculating a filing fee, the San Diego
company said Monday it expects to raise $100 million
through an initial public offering. That amount can
change.
The retailer of pets, pet food, supplies and services has
around 1,400 stores around the U.S. and 13 in Mexico that
are run through a joint venture. Petco says it earned net
income of $75 million in its latest fiscal year. Its profits
have fallen over the last two years, but have improved over
the first half of the current fiscal year. The companys
annual revenue grew to $4 billion.
The filing comes shortly after Petco competitor
PetSmart was taken private. A group of investors led by the
buyout BC Partners acquired PetSmart in March for $8.7
billion. PetSmart had almost 1,400 stores at the time.

Ca hopes defensive upgrade sparks turnaround

By Josh Dubow
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BERKELEY A potential first-round draft

pick at quarterback, a deep receiving group
and a potent running game will only carry
California so far this season.
If the Golden Bears are going to get back
to their winning ways and a bowl game in
coach Sonny Dykes third season at the
helm, the defense will have to show some
major improvement.
Cal has allowed the most yards, first

downs and second-most

points in the nation since
Dykes arrived in 2013,
leading to a 6-18 record
despite the presence of
star quarterback Jared
Goff.
Well be as good as our
defense allows us to be.
Sonny Dykes That will be the key for
us, Dykes said. Weve
been able to address some of our deficiencies
in terms of depth. We need some guys to
come through. We still have questions we

have to get answered, but we think were

going to be much improved.
It will be hard not to following a season
during which five of Cals seven losses came
in games where the Bears scored at least 30
points. While the rest of the nation won
over 80 percent of the time when the offense
scored 30 or more points, Cal went just 5-5.
That overshadowed another stellar season
from Goff, who threw for 3,973 yards with
35 touchdowns and only seven interceptions in a sophomore season that put him
near the top of the list of pro prospects at
quarterback in college.

Beefing up ground game

By Josh Dubow
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

STANFORD Stanford built one

of the most successful programs in
the country over the past few years
with a fairly simple formula: The
Cardinal dominated the trenches
with physical lines and a powerful
running game so well that they
made it to four straight BCS games.
That all changed last year when
the Cardinal were unable to overpower defenses with their running
game for most of the year, leading
to an 8-5 record that was cause for
concern at a school that had won at
least 11 games a season for four
straight years.
Three straight wins to end the
season provided a glimmer of hope
that the Cardinal can get back to
their winning ways this year.
I was denitely disappointed,
running back Christian McCaffrey
said. Anyone who sees the team
we had and the players we had,
knows there was so much more.
The last three games speak to that
team we can be. We didnt falter
when the chips were against us.
McCaffrey is a big reason for all
that optimism on the Farm. He ran
for 140 yards on 21 carries in those
nal three games, equaling his
number of runs in the rst 10
games to earn an even bigger role
for his sophomore season.
After adding about eight pounds
so he can be a better between-thetackles runner while maintaining
the speed that allowed him to excel
as a receiver and an outside threat,
McCaffrey could help Stanford get
back to its old formula.
From Toby Gerhart to Stepfan
Taylor to Tyler Gaffney, the
Cardinal had a 1,000-yard rusher
for six straight seasons before
Remound Wright led the team with
601 yards rushing last season.

See STANFORD, Page 16

Goffs focus isnt on the draft, individual

awards or even a bowl game. He is concerned
with the process of getting better each day
as a team and knows the results will come
from there.
Were excited for the year, he said. We
try not to put too much pressure on ourselves. There are a lot of people out there
saying this will be a big year for us. We
know it. But we also know were mature
enough to take it day by day and not think
about the future too much.

Some reason for

hope after first
preseason game

KYLE TERADA/USA TODAY SPORTS

n all the time Ive known my wife,

she had never once asked to stay and
watch a 49ers football game. Yet
she said just that as we watched the 49ers
preseason opener Saturday.
All so she could catch a glimpse of her
new crush Jarryd Hayne. The 6 feet
3-inch, 228-pound running back gave up
a professional rugby career in Australia
to take a shot at NFL glory. Given my
wifes recent infatuation with everything
rugby, she wanted to
see what the rugger
could do.
Needless to say,
we both came away
impressed. Hayne
provided most of the
offensive highlights
in the 49ers 23-10
loss to Houston. As
he made his cut and
hit the hole on his
way to a 53-yard
carry, I started shouting out his name. My wife, who was in
the bathroom getting ready to go to dinner, quickly opened the door to see Hayne
bust off the biggest run of the game.
Although he did seem a little tentative
on his big run like he was still getting
used to be a football player he never
the less showed how great he can be in
space and how quickly he can find a hole.
Once he got through the hole, his openfield running techniques kicked in. He
had another carry where he was an ankle
tackle away from breaking another big
play. All told, he finished with 63 yards
on five carries, while also returning a
pair of punts and the second-half kickoff
for another 57 yards, giving him 120
yards of total offense for the game.
Not too shabby for his first-ever football game.
There was more good news in the play
of nose tackle Mike Purcell, who is making a bid to replace the retired Justin

Christian McCaffrey, son of former Stanford receiver Bill McCaffrey, made an impression late last season
as a freshman and he is counted on to jump-start a running game that struggled at times last year.

Labor board blocks effort to unionize college athletes

By Michael Tarm
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

This puts the nail in the coffin of organizing college players.

Ronald Meisburg, a former attorney for the NLRB and onetime board member

CHICAGO The National Labor

Relations Board on Monday blocked a historic bid by Northwestern University football players to form the nations first college athletes union, dealing a blow to a
labor movement that could have transformed amateur sports.
In a unanimous decision, the board said
the prospect of union and nonunion teams
in college could lead to different standards at

different schools from how much money

players receive to how much time they practice and create competitive imbalances
on the field.
The new ruling annuls a 2014 decision by
a regional NLRB director in Chicago who
said scholarship football players are
employees under U.S. law and thus entitled
to organize. But Mondays decision did not

directly address the question of whether the

players are employees.
Some observers said the ruling effectively
ends any chance to establish labor unions
in college athletics.
This puts the nail in the coffin of organizing college players, said Ronald
Meisburg, a former attorney for the NLRB
and onetime board member.

Tim Waters, of the United Steelworkers

union, which helped bankroll the union
drive, disagreed.
It is a bump in the road, Waters said.
The face of the union-building effort, former Northwestern quarterback Kain Colter,
also expressed disappointment. But he said
the push for unionization had already pressured the NCAA to take athletes grievances
more seriously.
It turned out to be the right thing to do,
and I dont regret it, Colter said.

Raiders rookie makes good first impression

By Josh Dubow
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NAPA Ben Heeneys exhibition debut

went so well for the Oakland Raiders that he
wanted to save his jersey as a keepsake with
all the stains and sweat as memories.
The only problem was that was Heeneys
only game-ready jersey so it went back to
the equipment staff to get washed for the
next game.
I wish they wouldnt, but it has to look
nice for the next game, he said.
If Heeney keeps playing as well as he did
in his first exhibition game, he will have
plenty more game-used jerseys to choose
from.
Heeney was one of Oaklands top performers last Friday night against the St. Louis
Rams, recording a team-high eight tackles,
one sack and a quarterback hit while getting

32 snaps as a backup
inside linebacker.
Hes very active,
coach Jack Del Rio said.
Thats what we see in
practice every day. He
flies around. Hes very,
very active. His speed
showed up. That one time
Ben Heeney the quarterback tried to
break contain and he ran
him down for a sack. Thats just speed.
Thats one of the reasons we have him here.
Heeney has been one of the pleasant surprises during training camp. A fifth-round
pick out of Kansas, Heeney joined a linebacking position that had been significantly upgraded in the offseason with the additions of Curtis Lofton and former Super
Bowl MVP Malcolm Smith.
Heeney admitted to a few nerves before

Packers Bakhtiari
sidelined by knee
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

GREEN BAY, Wis. A sore knee sidelined left tackle

David Bakhtiari at Packers training camp Monday and it
was unclear if the starting offensive lineman will play in
this weekends preseason game at Pittsburgh.
Coach Mike McCarthy did not offer details on the injury
to the third-year tackle. Asked if he was concerned about
Bakhtiari, McCarthy replied, Not today, no.
Hes going to be on a treatment program for at least the next couple days,
he said. Thats straight out of the doctors mouth.
Veteran Bryan Bulaga said that with
ample practice time, he could make the
switch from right to left tackle if needed.
I dont know what Daves situation
for this week is, Bulaga said. All Ive
been told is that Im playing right tackDavid Bakhtiari le this week.
The Packers backup plan is pertinent
because Bakhtiari protects the blind side of NFL MVP Aaron
Rodgers. Bakhtiari, a Serra graduate, struggled in the preseason opener at New England on Thursday night, when he
allowed two sacks. He has made 35 consecutive starts since
taking over for Bulaga as a rookie fourth-round pick in
2013.
With Bakhtiari not practicing, fourth-year backup Don
Barclay worked at left tackle with the No. 1 offense.
Barclay is coming off a torn ACL in his right knee suffered
early in camp last year and has been working his way back
into form.

taking the field for the opening kickoff but

quickly felt as comfortable as he has on the
practice field all summer.
It shows the kind of player I am, he said.
Ill always try to be around the ball and fly
around and make plays. I did a little bit of
that. I missed a couple of them I wish I could
have had back but thats what film is for.
Making the night even more special was
the fact that his fiancie and parents were in
attendance.
Heeney is undersized for an inside linebacker at 6 feet and 230 pounds. Because of
that there have been questions about whether
hed be able to get off blocks well enough to
show his good speed.
Del Rio said Heeney still needs to work at
that aspect of his game but that he has
shown plenty of improvement since he was
drafted in May.
A couple of times I got held up, but its

just something I need to work on a little bit

more, he said. For the most part, I thought
I did pretty good. A couple of plays I wish I
could have done a little something different.
Heeneys best play might have come early
in the second quarter when he chased quarterback Case Keenum down all the way at the
sideline and forced him out of bounds for a
sack. The play was even more noteworthy
because Keenum tripped while trying to
jump over the bench on the sideline and
took a big fall.
Heeney didnt get to truly celebrate the
play because he didnt realize at the time that
he was credited with a sack.
I didnt even know I had it until after the
game, he said. I didnt realize it was a loss
on that. It was cool. Ill take it. I didnt
think it was a sack but if theyre going to
give it to me, Ill take it.

OUs Mixon making an impression

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NORMAN, Okla. Oklahoma running back Joe Mixon

seems to be enjoying being on the football field more than his
teammates.
Perhaps its because his poor judgment kept him sidelined for
a year.
As a high school senior at Freedom High School in Oakley,
he was listed as the nations top running back by both
Rivals.com and 247sports.com, and he scored a touchdown in
the Army All-American game. Fans who watched his highlights
hailed him as the next Adrian Peterson, the last back with similar hype who chose to become a Sooner. But last July, he
punched a woman in the face at a restaurant and was suspended
for the season.
Mixon is back, and now that his teammates and coaches have
had a chance to see him, the buzz is back, too but for more
than just his talent. Offensive coordinator Lincoln Riley said
Mixon has emerged as a leader, despite being just a redshirt
freshman.
We threw a long touchdown pass today where we were on the
10-yard line, Riley said. It went all the way the other way, and
its hot out here, were right in the middle of two-a-days, and he
sprints all the way down there and chest bumps with that guy.
And he does that every time that we score. His energy and passion for playing, and really just for life, is pretty infectious out
here.
Of course, his ability stands out, too. Hes a 6-foot-2, 217pound athletic freak with breakaway speed.
Very elusive, said Samaje Perine, an All-Big 12 running

back last season. Hes going to be tough to stop. He can make

moves in tight spaces. Its great to watch.
It appears Mixon will be ready to contribute when he makes
his college debut Sept. 5, at home against Akron. Coach Bob
Stoops said Mixon performed well at last Saturdays scrimmage.
Joe looked really good, Stoops said. Hes had a great
camp. Hes run the ball well, rarely misses a hole. Hes been fast
and decisive with his cuts. Catching the ball great. All of its
been really positive.
Quarterback Trevor Knight smiled when recalling a play
Mixon made in a recent practice.
He was split out the other day on a fade ball down the sideline, and he went up, really, into double coverage and brought it
down with one hand.
Offensive line coach Bill Bedenbaugh said he doesnt recall
seeing a player with Mixons versatility.
I dont know that there are many guys in the country like
him, Bedenbaugh said. His skill set for his size is impressive.
No matter how well Mixon performs, he carries his past with
him. Stoops said the staff does its best to help players avoid
such incidents. At the start of the summer, the staff had the players attend five days of seminars in hopes of giving them tools
to deal with challenges.
You do your best to educate early, and you want to continue
to build them as young men that, you know, realize where you
are, Stoops said. This is a college campus. Some might have
been on a mean street somewhere, and that isnt the case anymore. Youve got to learn to adapt to your new environment.

BARCELONA, Spain Athletic Bilbao ended a 31-year
trophy drought with a 1-1 draw at Barcelona on Monday,
claiming the Spanish Super Cup with a 5-1 aggregate victory over the reigning European champions.
After Bilbaos stunning 4-0 win in Fridays rst leg,
Barcelona threatened a comeback when Lionel Messi put
the hosts ahead a minute before halftime after Luis Suarez
set him up. But their hopes of an improbable turnaround
diminished when Gerard Pique earned a rash red card for

CAL

familiar with the coverages and everything.

Continued from page 11

Despite Chris Harper leaving early for the NFL, Cal brings
back seven players who caught at least 20 passes last season. That group is led by Kenny Lawler, Stephen Anderson,
Bryce Treggs and Trevor Davis, giving Goff plenty of
options in the passing game.
I think theyre the best group of wide receivers in the
country, Goff said. A lot of teams have one or two featured
receivers. We have two-deep at every position. It doesnt get
much better than that. Im just trying to enjoy it.

Receiving depth

Here are some other things to watch this season:

Goffs audibles
In his third year in the system, Goff is being given much
more latitude to change plays at the line of scrimmage. That
control of the offense led to more efficient play in the spring
in a development the Bears hope will carry over into the season.
Jared took a big step between year one and year two,
Dykes said. I thought Jared took an even bigger step
between year two in spring football. At the end of the
spring, I thought he was a completely different player than
he was last fall. That is the kind of improvement that we
want him to take.

Familiarity
The Bears hope a second season with Art Kaufman as
defensive coordinator will help shore up the defense. With
17 defensive players who started games last year returning,
that should bode well.
Having the defensive coordinator around for a second
season is a huge thing, safety Griffin Piatt said. Were

Center of attention
Cal dismissed starting center Matt Cochran from the team
after spring ball, leaving a big hole on the offensive line.
Guard Jordan Rigsbee will likely move over a spot and take
over that role.

Schedule
The Bears better start fast because the finish of the Pac-12
schedule is brutal. Cal plays road games at UCLA, Oregon
and Stanford and home contests against Southern California
and Arizona State over the final six weeks of the regular season. The nonconference slate features home contests
against lower-division Grambling and San Diego State
before a visit to Texas.

Smith. He finished with six tackles, batted down a pass
and was instrumental in the defenses goal-line stand in
the first quarter.
Lets not clear roster spots for these guys just yet. it
was one game, a preseason game at that. What Hayne
and Purcell need to do now is show consistency. They
need to have similar performances Saturday against the
Dallas Cowboys or at the very least not take a step
back.
There were other good signs from the 49ers preseason
opener. The offense got in and out of the huddle quickly
and efficiently. There were no delay-of-game penalties or
me yelling at the television, telling them to snap the
ball.
In fact, I was a little surprised at how quickly they huddled up and got to the line of scrimmage. After Colin
Kaepernicks deep pass attempt to Torrey Smith, Smith
barely got back to the huddle before it was breaking and
going to the line. At the very least, thats one thing that
appears headed in the right direction.
Backup Blaine Gabbert showed that he might have the
capacity to carry this team if Kaepernick does go down
with injury this season. Gabbert looked comfortable and
poised during his time under center, leading the 49ers to
their only points of the game. Granted, Haynes big run
helped set up Gabberts touchdown toss to Garrett Celek.
Overall, he was 8 for 11 for 86 yards and he looked like
a real quarterback doing it.
Not was all roses and butterflies, however. The
defense, despite the goal-line stand early in the game,
was basically torched by the Texans offense and that
includes the starters. The 49ers looked inept in coverage
when Cecil Shorts came across the middle, wide open,
and went in for a 43-yard score virtually untouched.
There were also a number of early third-down conversions for the Texans as well.
Given the losses the defensive side of the ball incurred
over the offseason, the defense is still a work in
progress. Middle linebacker NoVorro Bowman still has
yet to play a down since suffering that horrific knee
injury in the 2014 NFC Championship game against
Seattle. But he is apparently ready to play, theyre just
being extra cautious with him.
All told, the 49ers did not look too bad in the first
game of the post Jim Harbaugh era. The team competed,
it didnt look overwhelmed and it seemed to play hard for
its new coach and coaching staff. As long as they keep
improving throughout the preseason, the 49ers should
be OK this season.
And as long as they keep Hayne, you can count on my
wife not to miss a game.

Former NFL players appeal the

terms of concussion settlement
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PHILADELPHIA Former NFL

players who object to terms of the
potential $1 billion concussion settlement have led appeals that are
likely to delay payouts to thousands
of retirees until next year.
About a dozen appeals on behalf
of as many as 90 former players
were expected to be led by
Mondays deadline. The 3rd U.S.
Circuit Court of Appeals in
Philadelphia could hear arguments
on the issues this fall.
Some challenge the exclusion of
future cases of CTE, or chronic traumatic encephalopathy, the brain
decay that many link to football
concussions. Others are concerned
the settlement awards players with
neurocognitive symptoms, such as
Alzheimers disease and dementia,

UNION
Continued from page 11
The labor dispute goes to the heart
of American college sports, where
universities and conferences reap
billions of dollars by relying on
amateurs who are not paid. In other
countries, college sports are smalltime club affairs, while elite youth
athletes often turn pro as teens.
The biggest factor in how it
ruled, the board said, was the
NLRBs
jurisdiction,
which
extends only to private schools
like Northwestern, the sole private
institution in the Big Ten. The
board repeatedly cited the need for
standardization of rules and policies in sports and said giving the
green light to just one team to collectively bargain would disrupt that
uniformity.
NLRB rules do not offer the losing side the option to appeal. But
Ramogi Huma, a former linebacker
at UCLA who worked closely with
Colter, said he has not given up on

but not those with behavioral and

mood disorders that some link to
CTE and concussions.
A lawyer for 51-year-old former
linebacker Jesse Solomon, who
spent eight seasons with ve teams,
called the exclusion unfair and
unreasonable in an appeal led
last week. Solomon could get nothing from the settlement despite suffering from memory loss, slurred
speech, severe headaches and other
disabling conditions, the appeal
said.
Negotiators who forged the deal
argue that the science on CTE is still
evolving. The estates of players
who died and were diagnosed with
CTE from 2006 to 2014 can seek up
to $4 million, but future deaths are
excluded to avoid incentivizing
suicide. The problem cannot currently be diagnosed in the living.

Other players want the award calculations to include time played in

preseason games or training camp.
Currently, a player had to play in
three regular season games to get
credit for that season. The awards are
sharply reduced for men with less
than ve years in the league.

bringing unions to college football.

The doors not closed, he said.
The board seemed to leave open
the possibly of taking up the unionization issue again if it involved
other schools or if conditions
change for Northwestern football.
But Meisburg said the way the ruling highlights the challenges of
organizing sports at private and
state schools means the board is
unlikely to consider another union
petition from a college team.
I dont see those institutional
problems going away, Meisburg
said.
Northwestern became the focal
point of the labor fight in January
2014, when Colter announced plans
to form the first U.S. labor union for
college athletes. He appeared at a
news conference for the College
Athletes Players Association.
Three months later, regional
NLRB Director Peter Sung Ohr issued
his decision, saying Northwestern
football players should be able to
unionize. A month later, players cast
secret ballots on whether to union-

ize. Those ballots were sealed during

the appeal and will now be destroyed
without being counted.
While NLRB decisions sometimes
split along party lines, the three
Democrats and two Republicans on
the board all agreed.
Under U.S. law, an employee is
regarded as someone who receives
compensation for a service and is
under the direct control of managers.
In Northwesterns case, Ohr concluded coaches are the equivalent of business managers and scholarships are
a form of pay.
On Monday, Waters criticized the
NLRB for sidestepping the most
sensitive question: Are scholarship
players employees?
Its like they had a hot potato
tossed into their laps, and they took
a year and a half of deliberations and
said, Were going to toss it back,
he said.
The boards decision was welcomed by the NCAA, which has been
fighting lawsuits from former athletes over everything from head
injuries to revenue earned from their
likenesses in video games.

Former player Andrew Stewart,

49, of Surrey, British Columbia, has
Parkinsons disease. He would get
only one year of credit for his 1989
season with the Cleveland Browns
under the current plan. But the NFLs
disability and pension plan credits
him with the three additional years
he spent in training camp or preseason games before being injured.
A lot of players may not be aware
of the difference in denitions,
lawyer Michael Rosenthal said
Monday.

Continued from page 11
If McCaffrey can handle the 20-carry-agame load coach David Shaw believes he is
capable of, the Cardinal should start a new
streak this year considering McCaffrey
averaged 7.1 yards per carry as a freshman.
He was obviously an explosive player
but to be in that feature back role and get the
bulk of the carries in our offense he needed a
little meat on him, tackle Kyle Murphy

said. He took that to heart. He was the hardest worker on our team this offseason.
Here are some things to watch for at
Stanford this season:

Hogan a hero
After leading Stanford to the Rose Bowl
in each of his rst two seasons as starter,
Kevin Hogan had a tough junior year as he
had to deal with the death of his father during the season. But he completed 76.3 percent of his passes to win the nal three
games and is hoping to build off that.

The Cardinal have big holes at defensive

line and the secondary after leading the conference in total defense last year. Safety
Jordan Richards graduated, cornerback Alex
Carter declared early for the draft and CB
Wayne Lions transferred to Michigan.
Stanford then took another hit when projected starting safety Zach Hoffpauir was
taken in the baseball draft and ended up
signing with Arizona. The defensive line
also has few proven options with stalwart
Henry Anderson off to the NFL. But Shaw is
ne with the low expectations.
I say thank you. Its great, he said. I

The Cardinal must also replace kicker

Jordan Williamson and punter Ben Rhyne.
Conrad Ukropina missed all three eld goal

challenged by walk-on Charlie Beall. Alex
Robinson and Jake Bailey are expected to
compete at punter.

There are no gimmes on Stanfords slate
with a road game against Northwestern and
home opener against Central Florida to
open the season and a home date against

Study links preterm birth with microbes in moms body

By Lauran Neergaard
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Scientists might

have found a new way to tell whos at
risk of having a premature baby, by
checking the bacterial community that
lives in moms reproductive tract.
Trillions of microbes share our bodies, living on the skin or in the gut,
mouth or vagina, what scientists call
our microbiome. Many of these germs
play critical roles in health, from good
digestion to robust immunity, but they
can contribute to health problems if
they get out of whack.
What about during pregnancy?
Researchers at Stanford University
tracked some of those microbial
neighborhoods week by week through
49 healthy womens pregnancies
and found those who went into preterm
labor harbored a different pattern of
vaginal bacteria than the other momsto-be.
Its not clear why, but theres one
clue in Mondays study: At-risk mothers had low levels of lactobacillus bacteria, a family of bugs long thought
important for vaginal health.
We may have a new hook, a new
angle to pursue against preterm birth,
said Dr. David Relman, a Stanford
microbiology specialist who led the
work. Its possible that your microbiome could contribute to this pretty
common and devastating condition.
Larger studies are needed, in diverse
populations of women, to confirm the
link. Another question is whether the
problem is the lack of presumably protective bugs or whatever bacteria

moved in in their place, noted Dr.

Catherine Spong, a maternal-fetal
medicine specialist at the National
Institute of Child Health and Human
Development.
But the finding is very compelling, Spong said. It fits with some
earlier evidence that what our normal
host flora is might be important in
whether or not youre at risk for certain
conditions.
If the research pans out, it raises the
possibility of one day trying probiotics or other methods to alter microbial neighborhoods in women deemed
at risk, said March of Dimes senior
vice president Dr. Joe Leigh Simpson.
The work, published in Proceedings
of the National Academy of Sciences,
was partly funded by the March of
Dimes Prematurity Research Center at
Stanford.
About 450,000 U.S. babies are born
premature, before completion of the
37th week of pregnancy. Thats 11.4
percent of the babies born in 2013, a
rate that has been inching down from a
peak of 12.8 percent in 2006. Doctors
have made strides in saving increasingly early preemies, but those babies
are at greater risk of lasting vision and
developmental problems.
Numerous factors play a role in
preterm birth. Risks include pregnancy before age 17 or after 40, having
twins or more, and the mothers own
health, such as being underweight or
overweight, having diabetes or high
blood pressure, and whether she
smokes. Part of the recent improvement in U.S. preterm birth rates came
from reducing elective deliveries ahead

of moms due date, leading to a drop in
late preemies, or babies born a few
weeks early.
But those factors dont explain all
premature births, and scientists are
trying to uncover other triggers and
how to prevent them.
Alterations in peoples normal
microbiomes already are thought to
play a role in other health conditions,
from obesity to bowel disorders. And
some previous research had reported
that the vaginal microbiome changes

FDA: Scope manufacturer waited years to report problems

By Matthew Perrone
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Federal regulators have

uncovered new violations by the manufacturer of medical scopes recently linked to outbreaks of deadly superbug bacteria at U.S.
hospitals.
Olympus Corp. failed to alert regulators to
a cluster of 16 infections in patients who
underwent procedures with the companys
scope in 2012, according to a warning letter
posted online Monday by the Food and Drug
Administration. Olympus did not report the
problems to the FDA until 2015, when the
company was already under scrutiny for a

Councilman Reuben Holober, who has
been involved with the proposal to install
the billboard for many years, said he
believes it would offer Millbrae a variety of
substantial benefits.
Overall, it would be a nice boost for the
city, he said.
Additional benefits exist beyond the
financial gains the city stands to accept by
approving the digital billboard as well,
according to Community Development
Director Deborah Nelson.
Atop the poll holding the billboard will

more recent series of outbreaks.

Medical device manufacturers are required
to report serious device problems to the FDA
within 30 days of learning about them. The
infections reported to the company involved
a bacterial strain called pseudomonas, which
can cause pneumonia, severe sickness and
death in hospital patients.
Additionally, FDA inspectors found that
the company has no standard procedure for
promptly reporting serious problems with
its devices, a requirement for medical device
companies. The FDA inspected four company sites in Japan and the U.S. between March
and April this year.
A spokesman for the Tokyo manufacturer

said in a statement: We are reviewing the

FDAs warning letter so that we can provide
the required response in a timely manner.
The FDA also posted warning letters
Monday to two other scope manufacturers
Hoya Corporation and Fujifilm Corporation
citing problems with the testing, design
and quality control of their devices. All of the
letters are dated Aug. 12.
Olympus is the market leader for the
devices in the U.S., accounting for about 85
percent of sales, according to the FDA.
Medical scopes from Olympus were linked
to infections of antibiotic-resistant bacteria
at two separate Los Angeles hospitals earlier
this year. Hospital staff at Cedars-Sinai and

UCLA medical centers said the infections

occurred despite following Olympus instructions for cleaning the devices, known as
duodendoscopes.
The specialized scopes consist of a flexible fiber-optic tube that is inserted down the
throat into the stomach and small intestine
to diagnose and treat conditions in the pancreas and bile ducts. The tip of the scope
includes moveable instruments designed to
remove tumors, gallstones and other blockages. But this complex design also makes
the instruments difficult to clean. Bodily fluids and other debris can stay in the devices

disinfection.

Millbrae, and all the hotels promoted on the
sign at the current site will be featured on an
illuminated advertisement below the LED
screen.
Nelson said the billboard will enhance the
citys efforts to build its presence and brand.
The citys branding, in terms of its logo,
is on the sign, she said. Branding by a
city is a way to distinguish itself.
Should the digital billboard be approved,
the current hotel sign would be moved north
along Highway 101 to be mounted on top of
the citys wastewater treatment plant at 400
E. Millbrae Ave. There is a sign already
mounted on the plant, which is slated to be
moved to a yet to be determined location.
Though the city would have no control
over the ads displayed on the billboard,
there would be opportunities to promote
community activities and events.

Holober said he appreciated the billboards potential for drawing more attention to the city.
Whatever we can do as a community to
bring people into Millbrae to visit our city
and shop at our businesses is a benefit, he
said.
He also noted tying the citys logo
together with the technological advancement of upgrading a stagnant sign to a digital billboard could supplement Millbraes
interest in declaring itself a more contemporary community.
It starts to brand Millbrae in more of a
modern way, which will help perception of
the city, he said.
Should the billboard be approved, before
it is installed the city needs the blessing of
the
California
Department
of
Transportation, which has jurisdiction over
Highway 101, and the Federal Aviation

Administration, due to proximity to San

Francisco International Airport.
Nelson said she has not heard any residents express concerns regarding the proposal to install the billboard, and Holober
agreed, but said he expects some may be initially bothered by it, should it be approved.
It may be a shock to people, he said.
But I dont see it as something that will be
a detriment.
Ultimately, Holober said he believes the
city stands to benefit both fiscally, and
from the message the billboard would send
to those driving along Highway 101.
This does symbolize Millbrae entering
the 21st century. We are a little behind some
of the communities here, he said. But this
would improve the perception of Millbrae.

Imperfect test fuels alternative

treatments for Lyme disease
By Matthew Perrone
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Lyme disease conjures

memories of checking for ticks at camp and
fretting over bug bites after hikes in the
woods. But far from a summertime nuisance,
Lyme is a potentially debilitating disease
and the subject of a vigorous debate in
modern medicine.
Doctors not only debate how
to treat the

disease,
which starts with
fever and rash but can develop
into long-term problems such as fatigue,
arthritis and concentration problems. After
decades, they still argue over the standard
blood test for Lyme, which is subject to
severe limitations. The conflict has given
rise to a cottage industry of alternative
Lyme physicians, laboratories, medical
guidelines, patient groups and even
research centers at universities.
Heres a look at the debate surrounding
Lyme disease, which infects an estimated
300,000 people in the U.S. annually.
Q: Ho w do es the bl o o d tes t wo rk?
Lyme disease is caused by a strain of bac-

teria carried by certain ticks, primarily

found in Northeast and Midwestern U.S. and
parts of Europe. But the only U.S.-recommended Lyme test doesnt detect the bacteria. Instead, it measures the immune systems response to Lyme in the form of antibodies, proteins that help fight infections.
While its the best approach available,
experts acknowledge it is fraught with
problems of accuracy and interpretation:
The test usually comes back negative even
several weeks after infection. Yet the test
also can show a positive result years after
infection, even after successful
antibiotic treatment.
We dont have a
way of telling,
once
we
put you
o
n
t h er-

a p y,
h o w
successful that has
been, says Dr.
John Branda, of Harvard
Medical School.
The tests inability to detect early-stage
Lyme isnt a problem for patients who display the signature bulls eye rash caused by
disease-carrying ticks - guidelines instruct
doctors to skip the test and treat those
patients with antibiotics. But as many as 30
percent of those infected never get the rash,
leaving doctors to diagnose the disease
based on symptoms and patients recollections of possible exposure.
Q: Is there real l y no o ther way to
tes t?
A host of independent laboratories, such

as Advanced Laboratory Services in Sharon

Hill, Pennsylvania, sell alternative tests
claiming to be able to detect the bacteria
directly.
But scientists at the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention have been unable to
reproduce their results. And a CDC paper
published last year suggested the companys findings may have been marred by laboratory contamination.
Mainstream experts say inaccurate alternative Lyme tests lead to over diagnosis and
costs hundreds of dollars, since insurance
doesnt pay for them. Yet patients request
them.
Patients are so convinced they have
Lyme disease that theres a demand for tests
that will prove they have it, says Dr. Paul
Lantos, an infectious disease specialist at
Duke University Medical Center.
Laboratories that develop alternative
tests for Lyme are not regulated by the Food
and Drug Administration, unlike traditional
test manufacturers. But last year the FDA
said the growing number of so-called home
brew tests - estimated at 11,000 for all
sorts of diseases - demanded closer attention.
We have concerns that
people can be misled and act
on information that may or
may not have validity, says
Katherine Serrano, an FDA
deputy division director.
Under a 2014 proposal,
FDA would require labs to
begin demonstrating the
accuracy of their tests,
including those for Lyme
disease. The proposal has
not yet been finalized.
Serrano says the FDA would
take a risk-based approach
to reviewing tests, meaning
tests for diseases like cancer
would likely come before
conditions like Lyme. She
estimates it could be more
than five years before FDA
begins reviewing alterna-

tive Lyme tests.

Q. But at l eas t do cto rs ag ree o n
ho w to treat Ly me, ri g ht?
Mainstream medical authorities say bacteria that cause Lyme can be eliminated with
2 to 4 weeks of antibiotics.
But self-described Lyme literate physicians recommend a variety of other treatments; a paper published by Lantos and his
colleagues in May identifies over 30 advertised online, including lasers, magnets and
dietary supplements.
The most popular alternative involves
long-term intravenous antibiotics for
patients with lingering symptoms - sometimes multiple drugs for years.
At the core of that approach is a controversial concept called chronic Lyme disease. Doctors who diagnose the condition
believe patients who have extended symptoms like arthritis and fatigue are still, in
fact, infected with Lyme bacteria.
Five studies from the U.S. and Europe
failed to show lasting benefits from extended antibiotic therapy. And researchers point
to serious potential complications, including allergic reactions, infections and lifethreatening diarrhea.

ICE
Continued from page 1
during the Students On Ice trip with a
team of educators, scientists, artists
and natives to enhance their learning,
and help them glean a deeper understanding of the region and the challenges it faces.
The ship set sail Monday, July 27,
from Ottawa on an expedition to
Greenland, before cruising on through
the Davis Strait to explore the arctic
region surrounding Canada before
returning Monday, Aug. 10.
Huo said he will never forget what he
witnessed during the trip.
It was a life-changing experience,
he said.
Students spent their time off the ship
interacting with the environment
while getting up close and personal
with glaciers by braving the frigid
waters on inflatable boat tours,
exploring the Northwest Passage,
observing wildlife such as polar bears
and whales in their natural habitat and
a variety of other unique activities.
But the highlight of the trip for Huo
was being able to hike up a glacier, and
then slide down it.
It was magnificent, he said. I
grabbed a piece of ice, I tasted the ice,
and it tasted like the world. That was
the moment I truly felt touched.
Enjoying the glaciers was one of the
pinnacles of the experience for him,
but Huo said he feared such an opportunity for future students may not be
available, as he also witnessed the

BRIDGE
Continued from page 1
the reopening of the bridge, Half
Moon Bay Mayor Marina Fraser wrote
in a statement. There was really a
feverish pace of recent activity among
all the partners in this project to reach
this point.
She praised the efforts of U.S. Rep.
Jackie Speier, D-San Mateo, state Sen.
Jerry
Hill,
D-San
Mateo,
Assemblyman Rich Gordon, D-Menlo
Park and State Parks and Fish and
Wildlife officials for working together
to get the project back on track.
The only obstacle now to replacing
the 400-foot-long pedestrian bridge
may be the weather.
The bridge is scheduled for a year-end
reopening, but city officials emphasize that weather or other unforeseen
circumstances may still impact the
schedule.
City officials recently authorized the
off-site prefabrication of the bridge
decking and were prepared to store that

floating ice mountains disintegrating.

One of the biggest things I got to
witness was the glaciers are actually
melting, he said. That is something
that you usually see in movies and
videos, but I got a first-hand chance to
look and see ice flip over.
The transformative experience has
made a lasting impact on the way Huo
sees his surroundings, as he has
already added environmentalism to an
extensive list of passions.
When at home, Huo is highly motivated and dabbles in a variety of
extracurricular activities such as 4-H
programs, sports broadcasting and is a
member of the San Mateo County
Youth Commission, which is an advocacy group designed to inform the
county Board of Supervisors on issues
facing local teens and children.
He said the Students On Ice trip,
combined with his diverse set of interests, has encouraged him to consider a
career in activism, which could be used
to defend endangered natural environments.
Coming back from such a trip has
really broadened my horizons, he
said. It grew a new perspective for me.
The arctic is a great place, and something we need to focus on.
Developing an interest in the arctic
for a new generation of potential scientists, environmentalists and advocates is one of the key missions,
according to a leader of the trip.
By connecting curious and passionate youth with the people, land, challenges and opportunities of the changing arctic at such a critical time, we
help foster the knowledge, inspiration
and determination in youth that will

stay with them for a lifetime, said

Geoff Green, expedition leader, in a
prepared statement.
Huo was selected to go on the trip
due in part to his participation in a
summer camp in Fremont, where he
spends time teaching children about
local wildlife.
He learned about the Students On Ice
program from a director at the camp,
who encouraged him to apply, and
compete for a scholarship which would
finance his participation.
After being awarded the opportunity
to go on the trip, and landing the
scholarship, Huo was off to experience
a region of the world he never dreamed
of visiting.
Beyond the unique experiences he
enjoyed while learning more about the
environment, Huo said the bonds built
with fellow students who accompanied
him on the trip will last forever.
They are all now my friends, said
Huo, of the camaraderie that developed
between students.
And despite spending an extended
period of time on a ship charting
potentially rugged waters, Huo said he
avoided suffering any bouts of seasickness during his transformational journey.
But though protecting the arctic will
continue to be a passion of his, the
ever-ambitious Huo said there are a
variety of pressing needs in his current, local environment which he first
would like to contribute to finding an
answer for.
We are going through a drought,
he said. So I think I should see if I can
help solve that here before I start
going
somewhere
else.

structure until next year if the delays

continued.
Now, with the permits in hand, the
city is moving forward with plans to
dismantle the existing bridge decking,
complete seismic retrofits on the
structure and perform other on-site
work, beginning in mid-September,
according to a statement the city sent
out Monday.
If all goes as planned, the bridge
assembly with the prefabricated decking will take place subsequently, with
a grand reopening thereafter.
An unexpected permitting/regulatory issue in July arose which jeopardized the project getting underway within the limited construction window
mandated due to seasonal regulations
for habitat protection. The U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service proposed certain
additional mitigation measures and
through a great deal of repeated consultation, meetings and phone calls
between the agency and the project
partners, it reached an agreement with
the city and State Parks and issued a
biological opinion which in turn has
allowed the permit to be issued,
according to Mondays statement.

The city is committed to the utmost

thoughtful and careful environmental
protection during this project, Half
Moon Bay City Manager Magda
Gonzlez wrote in the statement. Its
really to the great credit of the USFWS
that they had the flexibility to quickly
review their initial findings, visit the
site and talk to the city and readily provide guidance in the appropriate level
of mitigation measures to be carried
out. We all share the same goals for
habitat, species and environmental
protection, balanced with the need to
repair and replace the bridge this year
and its wonderful that the conclusion satisfies the needs of everyone
involved.
When the bridge was closed last year
due to corrosion-based damage, Half
Moon Bay officials agreed to assist
State Parks by taking the lead and managing the repair project. Funding was
secured, the design was completed and
a contractor was brought on board.
The city urged the nearly $1 million
project to be completed as the path is
heavily used by visitors, school children and even workers who commute
along the trail.
