Obama challenges critics of landmark Iran deal

ALEX FURUYA/DAILY JOURNAL

Parents, children and guests enjoyed an evening of African drumming in the Oak Meeting Room of the San Mateo PublicLibrary on July 14. The African drummer, dancer, seer and educator Onye Onyemaechi taught the attendees how to play theAfrican drums and how to do African dancing. ‘People have lost the aspects of bringing family together, they never cometogether,’ said Onyemaechi. ‘This will give them some idea of bonding together as a family and celebrating life in one voice.’

After an emotional meeting concerning acitizens referendum to overturn Belmont’scontroversial new home remodel rules, theCity Council opted to repeal its recent zon-

ing amendments and push for more engage-ment.

Instead of placing the city’s Zoning and

Tree ordinances on an upcoming ballot, thecouncil opt ed to proceed with further publicoutreach while initiating new amendmentsintended to placate both opponents fearfulof change and those struggling to remodeltheir properties.

The council met Tuesday n ight to discuss

two referendums sparked by the group AskBelmont Citizens, which gathered morethan 2,000 signatures seeking a repeal of

the amendments city officials worked formore than a year to craft.

With p arties on bot h sides offering h eatedsupport and criticism during the meetingthat lasted until n early 1:3 0 a.m., the CityCouncil ultimately express ed concern aboutfurther dividing the community through an

election.“Our community is awake, our community

is engaged, and everyone should be ready

for a nice healthy discussion on how tomove th e city forward,” s aid CouncilwomanCathy Wright. “But I think it needs to beclear, not everybody in this room is goingto agree.”

Faced with two opti ons — eith er place theamendments on a ballot or repeal them and

Harbor Districtcan be dissolvedLocal Agency Formation Commissionvote could lead to agency’s demiseBy Bill SilverfarbDAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Affirming what it has maintained for n early four decadesnow, the Local Agency Formation Commission votedWednesday to accept a report that indicates the San MateoCounty Harbor District could be dissolved and absorbed byanother agency.

The commission unanimously accept-ed a report that designates the HarborDistrict as having a “zero sphere of influence,” meaning that it could in the-ory be taken ov er by another agency thatprovides the same services.

The vote is not a move toward disso lu-tion, however, as either the HarborDistrict, county or South San Franciscowould have to initiate the process.

The district owns Pillar Point Harbor on the coast andoperates Oyster Point Marina/Park in South San Francisco.

County Supervisor Don Horsley, also on the LAFCo

board, suggested the district be given 18 months to correctits course. If it doesn’t, Horsley said, the county shouldmove to dissolve it.

At Wednesday’s LAFCo meeting, Tom Mattusch, the newHarbor District Board of Commissioners president, urgedthe commission to give him more time to get the district

The Kansas City Star reports theunidentified man found the carp Fridayin th e ditch near an elementary school.Schmidt, who is filling in as animalcontrol o fficer while the regular one ison maternity leave, thinks it camefrom a nearby lake after heavy rains.

Scientists in Oregon developbacon-flavored seaweed

PORTLAND, Ore. — What growsquickly, is packed with protein, hastwice the nutritional value of kale andtastes like bacon?

The answer, according to scientistsat Oregon State University, is a newstrain o f seaweed they recently patent-ed.

Dulse i s a form of edibl e seaweed that

grows wild along the Pacific andAtlantic coastlines. It’s harvested andcommonly used by people in driedform as a cooking ingredient or nutri-tional supplement.

But OSU researchers say the varietythey’ve developed can be farmed andeaten fresh, with the potential for anew industry for Oregon.

Scientists have been trying t o devel-op a new strain of the seaweed for morethan 15 years. Their original goal wasto create a super food for commerciallygrown abalone, a mollusk prized inAsia.

The strain of dulse they came upwith, which looks like translucent redlettuce, is a great source of minerals,

vitamins and antioxidants, no t to men-tion protein. The abalone grew exceed-ingly quickly when fed the dulse and anabalone operation in Hawaii is nowusing the seaweed on a commercialscale.

FRESNO — State water officials onWednesday softened their approach to

telling thousands of California farmers tostop pumping from rivers to irrigate cropsduring the drought but warned that stiff penalties still await anybody who takeswater they don’t have a right to use.

The state changed its tack just days aftera Sacramento County judge sided with anirrigation district th at challenged previouscurtailment notices, saying the lettersamounted to an unconstitutional commandto stop pumping.

Superior Court J udge Shell eyanne Chan gindicated the State Water ResourcesControl Board can only advise waterrights holders to curtail use and fine them

if the agency determines use exceeded thelimit.

David Rose, an attorney for the waterboard, said the revised notice to farmersamounts to an advisory that river levels are

critically low and there is not enoughwater, even for those who hol d some of thestrongest rights.

“The facts underlying the notice remaintrue and perhaps even more so as time haspassed because it’s only drier,” Rose said.

Farmers shouldn’t be surprised if theyreceive sti ff penalties for using water theydon’t have the right to pump, he said.

Attorney Steven Herum, who representsthe West Side Irrigation District in the casechallenging the previous notices, said theruling on Friday amounted to vindication.

Farmers had stopped directly pumpingriver water and are now considering if they

will resume in ligh t of the ruling, he said.In recent months, the water board sent

curtailment notices to 4,600 farmers andoth er water users. Farmers were told to sto pirrigating fields as the state struggles

through its fourth y ear of the drought.The letters noted that anyone who ille-gally takes water could face fines of $1,000 a day or $2,500 per acre-foot of water.

Also on Wednesday, state officialsapproved stringent water limits on land-scapes for new homes and businesses tofurther California’s push for water-con-scious development.

The new rules approved by the CaliforniaWater Commission would essentially elim-inate grass from future office and commer-cial buil dings and reduce turf at new homesfrom a th ird of landscaped area to a quarter.

SAN FRANCISCO — Uber picked up ahefty tab Wednesday when a judge fined thetaxi-alternative company $7.3 million forrefusing to give California regulators infor-mation about its business practices, includ-

ing accident details and how accessiblevehicles are to disabled riders.

The fine was part of a ruling by an admin-istrative law judge at the California PublicUtilities Commission, the regulatoryagency that allowed Uber and its competi-tors such as Lyft to operate in the state aslong as the companies reported aspects of their activities.

The judge agreed with utility commissio nstaff who said Uber has not filed all requiredreports, specifically about how often it pro-vided disabled-accessible vehicles whenrequested, places where drivers tend to turndown ride requests, and the causes of acci-dents.

Uber had argued that it provided sufficientinformation to the commission.

The judge acknowledged that Uber provid-ed some information but said it was notenough.

In a written statement, Uber spokes-woman Eva Behrend called the ruling andfine “deeply disappointing” and said thecompany would appeal.

Study finds contaminants inCalifornia public-water supplies

SAN FRANCISCO — Nearly one-fifth of the raw groundwater used for public drinkingwater systems in California contains exces-sive levels of potentially toxic contami-nants, according to a decade-long U.S.Geological Survey study that provides oneof the first comprehensive looks at thehealth of California’s public water supplyand groundwater.

One of the surprises in t he study of 11, 000public supply wells statewide is the extent

to which hi gh levels of arsenic, uranium andother naturally occurring but worrisometrace elements is present, authors of thestudy s aid.

Public-water systems are required to bringmany contaminants down to acceptable lev-

els before supplying customers. But thefindings highlight potential concernsinvolving the more than 250,000 privatewells where water quality i s the respo nsib il-ity of individual homeowners, state offi-cials said.

Obituary

Ina Rose Prusick A true Southern Belle, Ina Rose Prusick was born in North Carolina October 17, 1927.

Born during the great depression it was hard for her father, Theodore (Teddy) Leadford, to put

a meal on the table for Ina and her 2 brothers, Jake and Charlie. Ina was only seven when her

mother, Nancy Lou Leadford, died. After Nancy Lou’s death, Ina’s father could no longer carefor Ina and her two brothers so he sent them to his sister where he was

sure they would be cared for. Several years later, Teddy remarried and took lna Rose and her

two brothers back. As the depression raged on, financial problems became the priority of the

day. More often than not clothes and shoes needed for school were usually last on the list of

needs. Dresses were often fashioned from flour sacks.

At sixteen Ina Rose married Elmer Matthew Doolin and went to live in Arlington Virginia

where she gave birth to her daughter Nancy Sue Doolin. Nancy continually had lung issues

so Elmer and Ina Rose moved to Phoenix in 1953 where the climate was warm and dry. The

following year Elmer had a heart attack and could no longer work. He sent Ina Rose to nurses

training. Ina Rose graduated a year later and passed the LPN (Licensed Practical Nurse) exam.

She became the family breadwinner by helping others in need as a nurse. Elmer died in 1958

leaving Ina Rose to raise her daughter alone. After her daughter was grown she moved to

Las Vegas where she worked in a clinic delivering babies.In 1976 Ina Rose moved to Palo Alto

California where she got a job at the Veteran’s Hospital and worked as a nurse until she was

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Mank ind’sfirst close-up look at Pluto did not disap-point Wednesday: The pictures showed icemountains on Pluto about as high as theRockies and chasms on its bi g moon Charonthat appear six times deeper than the GrandCanyon.

Especially astonishing to scientists wasthe total absence of impact craters in azoom-in shot of one otherwise rugged sliceof Pluto. That suggests that Pluto is not thedead ice ball many people think, but isinstead geologically active even now, itssurface sculpted not by collisions with cos-mic debris but by its in ternal heat, the scien-tific team reported.

Breathtaking in their clarity, the long-awaited images were unveiled in Laurel,Maryland, home to mission operations forNASA’s New Horizons, the unmanned space-craft that paid a history-making flyby visitto t he dwarf planet on Tuesday after a journeyof 9 1/2 years and 3 billion miles.

“I don’t think any one of us could have

imagined that it was this good of a toystore,” princip al scientis t Alan Stern said ata news conference. He marveled: “I t hink thewhole system is amazing. ... The Pluto sys-tem IS somethi ng wonderful.”

As a tribute to Pluto’s discoverer, Stern andhis team named the b right heart-shaped areaon the surface of Pluto the TombaughReggio. American astronomer ClydeTombaugh spied the frozen, faraway worldon the edge of the solar system in 1930.

Thanks to New Horizons, scientists nowknow Pluto is a bit bigger than thought,with a diameter of 1,473 miles, but still justtwo-thirds th e size of Earth’s moon. And it ismost certainly not frozen in time.

The zoom-in of Pluto, sh owing an approx-imately 150 -mile swath of the dwarf planet,reveals a mountain range about 11,000 feethigh and tens of miles wide. Scientists saidthe peaks — seemingly pushed up fromPluto’s subterranean bed of ice — appearedto be a mere 100 million years old. Plutoitself is 4.5 billion years old.

“Who would have supposed that there wereice mountains?” project scientist Hal Weaversaid. “It’s just blo wing my mind.”

Police: Fire caused byspontaneous combustion

An occupied home in Belmont was severe-ly damaged by a fire that officials believecould have been caused by a pile of oily ragsspontaneously combusting.

Firefighters responded around 4:30 a.m.Wednesday to a home on the 300 block of Middle Road where a fire caused approximate-ly $75,000 to $100,000 in damage, accord-ing to Belmont police.

A resident awoke to a crackling sound and

found his rear deck was on fire. The man, wifeand their two sons were able to safely evacu-ate unharmed, according to police.

The fire spread to the attic and roof and isstill under investigation; however, it appearsto have started in a pile of oily rags th at hadbeen left by the resident who was in theprocess of refinishing the deck, according topolice. Crews from the Belmont, San MateoFoster City and Redwood City fire depart-ments assisted in extinguishing the fire with-in 30 minutes.

Police remind residents that oily rags thatare folded or balled up and thrown onto thefloor or tossed into a bucket have the abilityto s pontaneously combust because as the oildries on the rag, it produces heat and canresult in a fire, according to police.

To safely dispose of oily or gas-soaked

rags, people can hang them outside to dry ina safe area or spread them out flat maki ng s urethey’re weighted down outdoors and not leftin a pile. Once dry, they should be stored in asmall, airtight, non-combustible containerwith a tight-fitting lid; such as an old paintcan or something made of metal. Residentscan contact the San Mateo CountyEnvironmental Health Household WasteProgram to schedule a pickup of the can byvisiting smchealth.o rg/hhw.

He had called for yearly inspections. Citystaff had recommended inspection s every fiveyears. Some building group representativeshad urged the council to hold off on the votefor further study.

SAN DIEGO — U.S. Supreme Court Just iceAnthony Kennedy on Wednesday likenedcontroversy over the court’s decision toallow gay marriage to public reaction overthe 1989 ruling that said burning anAmerican flag was protected free speech.

Kennedy, who was the deciding vote inboth cases, described how the reactiondecades ago was critical at first but changedover time.

His remarks at the 9th Circuit JudicialConference were his first public commentssince he wrote the decision last month thatput an end to same-sex marriage bans in 14states. Kennedy drew the comparison inresponse to a moderator’s question abouthow justices weather reaction to closelywatched rulings.

“Eighty senators went to the floor of the

Senate to denounce thecourt,” he said of the1989 ruling. “PresidentBush took the week off and visited flag factories,but I noticed that after

two or three months peo-ple began thinking aboutthe issues.”

Kennedy went on tosay that a lawyer fromNorthern California

approached him at a restaurant after th e flagburning decision to tell him how his father,a prisoner of war in Nazi Germany, camearound to the decision.

The former prisoner of war — who s ecret-ly sewed red, white and blue cloth togetherin captivity — stormed into his s on’s officeand said he should be ashamed to b e an attor-ney, Kennedy said. The lawyer, unsure howto respond, gave his father Kennedy’s con-curring opinion .

House passes bill to keephighway aid flowing to states

WASHINGTON — The House has passed abill to temporarily shore up funding fortransportation programs and prevent a shut-down in highway and transit aid to states atthe end of this month.

The legislation passed by a 312-119 vo teon Wednesday.

Senate Republicans are trying to cobbletogether a longer-term bill that could pro-vide transportation money for several

years. The House bill would funnel $8 bil-lion to keep transportation going throughDec. 18 while lawmakers work on a long-term bill.

Congress is under pressure to act quickly.Authority for transportation programs

expires on July 31 and the balance in thefederal Highway Trust Fund is forecast todrop below $4 billion, the minimum cush-ion needed to keep money to flowing tostates without interruption.

WASHINGTON — Phony applicants thatinvestigators signed up last year underPresident Barack Obama’s health care lawgot automatically re-enrolled for 2015.Some were rewarded with even bigger tax-payer subsidies for their insurance premi-ums, a congressional probe has found.

The nonpartisan GovernmentAccountability Office says 11 counterfeitcharacters that its investigators created lastyear were automatically reenrolled byHealthCare.gov, even though most hadunresolved documentation issues. InObama’s terms, they got to keep the cover-age they h ad.

Six of those later were flagged and senttermination notices. But GAO said it wasable to get five of them reinstat ed by callin gHealthCare.gov’s consumer service center.

That seemed to be a weak link i n the sy stem.The five bogus beneficiaries who werereinstated even got their monthly subsidies

bumped up a b it, although GAO did not askfor it. The case of the sixth fake enrolleewho appealed was under review.

HealthCare.gov does not appear to be setup to detect fraud, GAO audits and investiga-tions chief Seto Bagdoyan said in preparedtestimony for a Senate Finance Committeehearing Thursday. A copy was provided tothe Associated Press.

HealthCare.gov’s document-processingcontractor “is not required to seek to detectfraud,” said Bagdoyan. “The contractor per-sonnel involved in the document-verifica-tion process are not trained as fraud expertsand do not perform antifraud duties.”

Administration officials told GAO therehas been “no indication of a meaningfullevel of fraud” in the program, Bagdoyansaid.

Federal health care subsidies go directly t oinsurers, so the money does not end up inthe bank accounts of individual enrollees.But health in surance is a valuable product inand of itself, with the cost of family cover-age averaging close to $17,000 a year.

Trump campaign sets hispersonal fortune at $10 billion

WASHINGTON — Republican presidentialcandidate Donald Trump filed financial docu-

ments with federal cam-paign regulators onWednesday and set hispersonal fortune at morethan $10 billion with anannual income of morethan $362 million.

Members of his staff had said th at Trump wouldrelease the financial docu-ments themselves, but

they issued only a press release thatannounced the filing and included a fewfinancial details. It provided little informa-tion about how he calculated his net worth.

The $10 bill ion fig ure — up nearly 15 p er-cent sin ce the previo us year, by Trump’s cal-culation — would make him the wealthiestperson ever to run for president, far surpass-ing previous magnates like Ross Perot,business heirs like Steve Forbes or private-equity investors li ke Mitt Romney, the 2012GOP nominee.

Among the sources of Trump’s income hasbeen $214 million in payments from NBCrelated to 14 seasons of the business reality

Obama: No mechanism torevoke Cosby’s Medal of Freedom

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obamaon Wednesday rejected the idea of revoking

Bill Cosby’s PresidentialMedal of Freedom becauseof s exual mi sconduct alle-gations.

“There’s no precedentfor revoking a medal,”Obama said. “We don’thave that mechanism.”

The president, who wasasked about Cosby’smedal at a news confer-

ence, declined to address specific allegati onsagainst the entertainer because there arepending legal matters. But Obama left noquestion about his thinking on the largerissue of drugs, consent and rape.

“If you give a woman, or a man, for thatmatter, without his or her knowledge a drug,and then have sex with that person withoutconsent, that’s rape,” he said. “And I thinkthis country, any civilized country, shouldhave no tolerance for rape.”

WASHINGTON — Vigorouslychallenging his critics, PresidentBarack Obama launched an aggres-sive and detailed defense of a land-mark Iranian nuclear accord

Wednesday, rejectin g the idea thatit leaves Tehran on the brink of abomb and arguing the only alter-native to the diplomatic deal iswar.

“Either the issue of Iran obtain-ing a nuclear weapon is resolveddiplomatically through a negotia-tion or it’s resolved through force,through war,” Obama said during alengt hy White House news confer-ence. “Those are the optio ns.”

The president spoke one dayafter Iran, the U.S. and five otherworld powers finalized a historic,yearslong agreement to curbTehran’s nuclear program inexchange for billions of dollars insanctions relief. Opposition tothe deal has been fierce, both inWashin gton and Israel. Sunni Arabrivals of Shiite Iran also expressconcerns.

Israeli Prime Minister BenjaminNetanyahu, perhaps the fiercestcritic of Obama’s overtures toIran, showed no sign he could bepersuaded to even tolerate theagreement. In remarks to Israel’sparliament, Netanyahu said he wasnot bound by the terms of the dealand could still t ake military actionagainst Iran.

“We will reserve our right to

defend ourselves again st all of ourenemies,” said Netanyahu, whosees Iran’s suspected pursuit of anuclear weapon as a threat toIsrael’s existence.

In Congress, resistance comesnot only from Republicans, butalso Obama’s own DemocraticParty. Vice President Joe Bidenspent the morning on Capitol Hillmeeting privately with HouseDemocrats, telling reporters as heleft that he was confident theywould get b ehind a deal.

The president said he welcomeda “robust” debate with Congress,but showed little patience forwhat he cast as politically moti-vated opposition. Lawmakerscan’t block the nuclear deal, butthey can try to undermine it byinsisting U.S. sanctions stay inplace.

In Tehran, Iranians took to thestreets to celebrate the accord, andeven Iran’s hard-liners offeredonly mild criticism — a far cryfrom the outspoken opposition

that the White House had feared.The nuclear accord has become a

centerpiece of Obama’s foreignpolicy, a high -stakes gamble thatdiplomatic engagement with alongtime American foe couldresolve one of the world’s mostpressing security challenges. Theimportance of the deal to Obamawas evident Wednesday, both inhis detailed knowledge of its tech-nical provisions and his insis-tence that no critique go unan-swered.

Obama challenges critics of landmark Iran deal

Barack Obama speaks during a news conference about the recent nuclear deal reached with Iran.

IRAN GETS TO KEEPITS NUCLEAR PROGRAMWhen Iranian President Hassan Rouhani waselected in 2013, he signaled that the countrywas ready to strike a deal to escape economicsanctions that had crippled its economy and

fueled unemployement. Still, Iran wasn’t readyto give up its nuclear program entirely, which Tehran says is peaceful. Under the 100-pageagreement, the infrastructure of Iran’s nuclearprogram is left mostly intact. Centrifuges willkeep spinning, although in lesser quantities,and uranium can still be enriched, just at lowerlevels. And Iran’s enrichment site, called Fordo,which is dug deep into a mountainside — pos-sibly to avoid air strikes — will keep running,although it must be converted to a researchfacility.

BOTH SIDES CLAIMVICTORY, BUT ISRAEL IS FURIOUS

The final agreement with Iran was negotiatedby U.S., Britain, Germany, France, China and Rus-sia. The U.S. and Europe are mostly happy withthe deal because it will test the willingness of Iran’s new regime to keep its promises to theworld. President Barack Obama said “no dealmeans a greater chance of more war in the Mid-dle East.” Iran, China and Russia are happy toobecause the deal paves the way for future armssales and other economic opportunities withIran. Russian President Vladmir Putin said “weare confident that the world has breathed a sighof relief.” Israel, however, isn’t convinced. IsraeliPrime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called thedeal a “bad mistake of historic proportion.”Un-fortunately for Netanyahu, he is now at oddswith the international community and with fewoptions for scuttling the agreement.

VERIFICATION MIGHT BEKEY, BUT IT’S NOT GUARANTEEDObama said the deal “is not built on trust. It isbuilt on verification.”But among the biggestconcession by the West is that Iran doesn’t haveto submit to international inspections anytime,anywhere. If the U.N. nuclear agency identifiesa suspicious site, it can ask to inspect it. And if Iran refuses, an arbitration panel will decidewhether the Iranians have to open up the siteto inspection within 24 days. So in theory, ac-cess to the Islamic Republic’s most sensitivesites isn’t guaranteed and may be delayed.

OIL PRICES MIGHT TAKE A DIPMany analysts estimate that Iran has piled uptens of millions of barrels on floating bargesthat can be exported soon after sanctions have

been lifted. So it’s possible that once economicsanctions are lifted and Iran can sell more oil,crude oil prices could come down. Benchmark U.S. crude oil prices have been down for muchof the past year. Analysts warn, however, thatenergy prices can depend on production lev-els in other countries, currency rates anddemand sparked by the health of globaleconomies.

CONGRESS MIGHT TRY TO MUCK IT UPCongress has 60 days to review the agreement,and House and Senate leaders have already sig-naled that they think Obama made too manyconcessions.But lawmakers’options are limited,too: They can cast a nonbinding vote of disap-proval,but that won’t scuttle the deal.Lawmakerscan impose new sanctions on Iran or prevent thepresident from suspending existing ones, butObama would likely veto such a bill.In that case,GOP leaders would have to find enough supportto override a presidential veto to stop Obamafrom fulfilling America’s side of the agreement.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates— The nuclear deal with Iran wasmet with a profound wariness inthe Arab world, where concerns arewidespread that the easing of itsinternational isolation could tipthe already bloody contest forpower in the region toward Shiite-led Tehran.

Arab countries have deep fearsof Iran gaining a nuclear weapon,and some have been skeptical that

a deal will prevent that from hap-pening. But equally high for keySunni-dominated Gulf alli es of theUnited States is the worry that adeal gives Iran the means —through an economic windfall —and an implicit green ligh t to pushinfluence in the region.

The Arab world has been polar-ized for years in a worseningproxy conflict between Iran andGulf powers, particularly SaudiArabia, fueling Sunni-Shiite ten-sions and stoking wars. In Syria,Iran’s s upport h as ensured the sur-vival of President Bashar Assad

against Sunni rebels backed byGulf nations in a devastating civilwar, now in its fifth year. Yemenhas been torn apart this year asSaudi Arabia, leading a coalitionair campaign, has tried to helpfend off Shiit e rebels supported byTehran. In Iraq, Saudi Arabia hasopposed the growing power of Iran even since the 2003 ouster of Saddam Hussein and the rise of agovernment led by Shiite politi-cians close to Iran.

“Deal or no deal, tension in theregion is not going to go away,”said Abdulkhaleq Abdullah, a pro-

fessor of political science atUnited Arab Emirates University.“If Iran is bent o n acting as a hege-mon, as a regional power, I thinkwe are in for some difficult times.”

Saudi Arabia issued a pointedwarning , say ing Iran must use anyeconomic gains from the lifting of sanctions to improve the lives of Iranians, “rather than using themto cause turmoil in the region, amatter that will meet a decisivereaction from the nations of theregion,” in a statement carried onthe state news agency lateTuesday.

Japanese bills would expand military’s roleTOKYO — A parliamentary committee on Wednesday

approved legislation that would expand the role of Japan’smilitary after Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s ruling blocforced the vo te in t he face of protests from some lawmakersand citizens.

Opposition lawmakers tried to stop the committee voteas hundreds o f citizens protest ed outside.

The unpopular legisl ation was crafted after Abe’s Cabinetadopted a new security policy last year that reinterpreted a

part of Japan’s post-World War II constitution that onlypermitted the nation’s military to use force for its self-defense. The bills in question would allow Japan to alsodefend aggressio n agains t its allies — a concept called col-lective self-defense.

Abe has argued that Japan should better prepare forChina’s regional threat and do more to contribute to inter-national peacekeeping efforts.

But opponents, including legal experts and academics,counter that the new interpretation is unconstitutional.

Polls show that about 80 percent of Japanese find thebills hard to swallow, and the majority of them say theythink t he legislation is unconstitutional.

That tension was on display Wednesday as oppositionlawmakers attempted to thwart the committee’s vote andhundreds chanted anti-war and anti-Abe slogans outside inprotest.

ATHENS, Greece — Greek lawmakersvoted overwhelmingly early Thursdayto approve a harsh austerity billdemanded by bailout creditors, despitesignificant dissent from members of Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras’ left-wing party.

The bill has fueled anger in t he gov -erning Syriza party and led to a revoltby party members against the primeminister, who has insisted the dealforged after a marathon weekend euro-zone summit was the best he could do toprevent Greece from catastrophicallycrashing out of Europe’s joint currency.

The bill, which imposes sweepingtax hikes and spending cuts, wasapproved with 229 votes in favor, 64against and six abstent ions — and withthe support of three pro-Europeanopposition parties.

Prominent Syriza party memberswere among the 38 dissenters, includ-

ing Energy Minister PanagiotisLafazanis and former finance ministerYanis Varoufakis, who many blame forexacerbating tensions with Greece’screditors with his abrasive styl e duringfive months of tortured negotiations.

The vote came after an anti-austeritydemonstration by about 12,000 pro-testers outside parliament degeneratedinto v iolence as the debate was gettin gunderway Wednesday night. Riot

poli ce battled youths who hurled petrolbombs for about an hour before theclashes died down.

The bill was the first step Greecemust take in order to begin negotia-tion s with creditors o n a new bailout —its third in five years — of about 85billion euros ($93 billion) in loansover three years.

Dissenters argued that Greeks couldnot face any further cuts after six yearsof recession that saw poverty andunemployment skyrocket and wipedout a quarter of the country’s economy.

Tsipras has b een battling all week topersuade party hard-liners to back the

deal. He has acknowledged the agree-ment reached with creditors was farfrom what he wanted and trampled onhis pre-election promises of repealingausterity, but insisted the alternativewould have been far worse for the coun-try.

“We had a very speci fic cho ice: A dealwe largely disagreed with, or a chaoti cdefault,” he told parliament ahead of the vote.

Tsipras had urged Syriza members toback the bill despite having urged vot-ers to reject earlier, milder creditordemands in a July 5 referendum. Greeksvoted overwhelmingly to reject thoseproposals.

Finance Minis ter Euclid Tsakalotos ,who took over from Varoufakis th e dayafter the referendum, said the dealGreece reached with its creditors onMonday was the only possible choice.

“I must tell you, that Monday morn-ing at 9:30, it was the most difficultday of my life. It was a decision thatwill weigh on me for the rest of mylife,” Tsakalotos s aid.

NEW YORK — The U.S. stock marketedged lower Wednesday, ending a four-day rally, as a drop in energy shares and

jitt ers over Greece outweighed encour-aging earnings reports from banks.

Energy stocks slumped along with theprice of oil after a report showed that adrop in U.S. supplies last week was lessthan expected.

The market’s pause follows stronggains. Stocks have surged in the pastweek as a slump in China’s stock marketabated and Greece reached a deal with itscreditors for more loans to avoid bank-ruptcy and a possibl e exit from the euro.

Greece’s deal with its creditors muststill be approved by the country’s law-makers. As investors waited for a votein the nation’s parliament, protestersclashed with police in the streets of Athens. The protesters want an end tothe harsh austerity measures demandedby Greece’s creditors in exchange for

more loans.“You come in some days and it lookslike it’s all clear and that Greece hasbeen resolved, and the next day it has-n’t,” said Michael Scanlon, portfoliomanager with John Hancock AssetManagement.

The Standard & Poor’s 500 indexedged down 1.55 points, or less than

0.1 percent, to 2,107.40. The DowJones industrial average slipped 3.41points, or less than 0.1 percent, to18,050.17. The Nasdaq composite fell5.95 points, or 0.1 percent, to5,098.94.

The U.S. stock market started the dayhigher after encouraging second-quarter

Yellen told Congress she sees encour-aging signs that the economy is reviv-ing after a harsh winter. If the improve-ments continue, sh e said, poli cymakerswill likely start raising interest rates

later this year. The Fed has kept itsbenchmark rate near zero sinceDecember 2008, pushing up bond andstock prices.

Yellen was flagging the poss ibility of higher rates so as not to surpriseinvestors when the Fed does eventuallylift them, said Quincy Krosby, a marketstrategist for Prudential Financial.

“That’s the last thing she wants todo,” said Krosby. “That’s why we haveto pay attention when she says that (arate increase) is on th e table.”

SAN RAMON — After running roughshodthrough the District 52 tournament —outscoring its opponents 55-11 — the SanMateo American Majors All-Stars had nearly aweek to prepare for the Section 3 tournament.

The long layoff had little effect on SanMateo American, as it opened Section 3play again st Cent erville American-Fremontat Memorial Park in San Ramon Wednesdayevening. San Mateo scored five runs in the

first two inning before unloading for 12 inthe third and fourth innings as it blasted theteam from Fremont 17 -1 in a game that washalted after four innings because of the 10-run mercy rule.

“We’ve had one game go s ix i nni ngs (dur-ing the all-star tournament),” said SanMateo manager P.J. Jeremiah.

San Mateo American will next play thewinner of Danville-San Lorenzo at 5:30p.m. Friday in San Ramon.

San Mateo used a similar attack againstFremont that it used in throttling the com-

petition on its way to the league’s firstDistrict 52 title since 1970: strong pitch-ing, a ton of offense and an entire teameffort. Eleven of the 13 players on the SanMateo roster reached base, with nine of them reaching via a hit. Leadoff hitter JaceJeremiah was 3 for 4 with two runs scored,two doubles and two RBIs. Petey Halpin,the No. 2 hitter, reached base in all four of his plate appearances. He doubled andhomered, walked and reached on an error. Hescored four runs and drove in three.

Starting pitcher Justis Daily was 1 for 2

with a pair of walks and two runs scored,Terence Lovil le had a pair of s ingl es and anRBI, Robert Vaihola went 2 for 4 with a two-run double and a single, Ryan Victor cameoff the bench to walk and single and scoretwice, Jack Fitzgerald launched a two-runbomb, while Daniel Geller and ColbyStevens combined for a walk and a single,with Stevens driving in a run.

The Pacifica PONY 14-and-under team is onits way to Super Regionals.

P-Town claimed the PONY 14U PeninsulaRegional Tournament championshipWednesday at San Bruno’s Belle Air Park witha 15-7 win over South San Francisco. Pacificabattled to win four straight games through thelosers’ bracket after being defeated by SSF lastFriday in the second game of the tourney.

Wednesday, Pacifica redeemed itself, jump-ing out to an early lead en route to totaling 13hits in the contest. Vince Mini go t Pacifica onthe board with a two-run home run in the firstinning. No. 9 hitter Ajay Hayes and cleanup

hitter Christian Novello paced Pacifica withthree hits apiece.“We just got up early and never looked

back,” Mini said.Pacifica left-hander Sean Zanardi was the

reason his team never had to look back, as hedominated through most of the 5 2/3 inningshe worked. Zanardi allowed six runs on ninehits. But five of those runs scored in the sixthinning, after the southpaw held SSF to one runon three hits through the first five.

“Once he sett les down and gets comfortable,he’s on, ” Pacifica manager Jamie Gooden said.

Pacifica has gotten its share of pitchinggems throughout the weeklong tournament.Left-hander Jeremiah Gooden started the tour-ney in styl e, firing a five-inning no-hitter lastWednesday in a 13-0 mercy-rule win overBelmont-San Carlos.

Despite the loss in the following game — a7-6, eight-inning walk-off victory by SSF —Pacifica outscored opponents 90-31 throughsix games in the tournament. For JamieGooden, who has been coaching the core of the team since tee-ball, the tourney title is afine rebound. It is his second year at the helmof the PONY squad that last year didn’t advanceout of the preliminary round.

Not that the team didn’t flash s ome offensivechops in 2014, according to Jamie Gooden.

“Since two years ago, they came around andstarted hitting the crap out of the ball, and nowit shows,” he said.

Sean Zanardi worked 5 2/3 innings to earn the win over South San Francisco Wednesday atBelle Air Park to lead Pacifica to the PONY 14-and-under Peninsula Region Tournament title.

There has been a s teady stream of world-class soccer talent comingto Major League Soccer over the

last couple of years: Andrea Pirlo fromItaly, Kaka from Brazil, David Villa fromSpain, Steve Gerrard and Frank Lappardfrom England and Robbie Keane of Ireland.

And of course it was the ubiquitousDavid Beckham who got t he whole thin g

rolling when he joi ned the LosAngeles Galaxyback in 2007.

Now, arguablyNorth America’sbest player —Mexico’s GiovanniDos Santos —appears headed toMLS in the primeof his career, leav-ing Europe for theUnited States at 2 6

years old. It’s a change the l eague hopessignals to the rest of the world MLS isnow a destination for players, not justthose big-name stars who are looking forone last fat paycheck.

The move could be good for MLS as awhole but, the reality is, it’s really just acoup for the Los Angeles Galaxy, theteam who s igned Dos Santos. It makessense. Given Los Angeles’ heavyMexican population, Dos Santos couldgive the Galaxy a big bo ost.

Dos Santos joins a Galaxy squad that isshaping up to be this century’s version of the 1970s New York Cos mos — a t eamthat featured Pele, Giorgio Chinaglia,Franz Beckenbauer and HubertBirkenmeier. Dos Santos joins Keane andanother recent acquisition in Gerrard togive the Galaxy one of the most recogniz-able teams not only in MLS, but the world.

But ho w does that really help the restof MLS? Sure, it ’ll fil l th e owners’ cof-fers, but what about the rest of theteams in t he league? Whil e the “glam-or” cities like L.A., New York an dMiami have aging superstars flockingto th em, the San Jos e Earthquakes and

EDITOR’S NOTE: Jack Nicklaus had nevertrailed in any round on his way to winningthe Masters and U.S. Open in 1972, and theBritish Open was played that year atMuirfield, where Nicklaus had won his firstclaret jug six years earlier. He woke upMonday morning of Open week with a s tiff neck, which restricted his swing. Playingcautiously, he stayed in range of the l eadersuntil Lee Trevino pulled away to a five-shot

lead in the t hird round.With his neck pain

gone, Nicklaus fired a 66in the final round andthought it might beenough until Trevino heldon with a chip-in on the17th and a par on the 18t hto win by one shot.Nicklaus had anotherchance at the Grand Slam.

He won the Masters in 1975, but finishedtwo shots back of the U.S. Open that year.

Forty-three years later, the AP is making aversion of the story of the tournament andphotos available.

MUIRFIELD, Scot land — “I had it but I letit get away,” a bitterly disappointed JackNicklaus said Saturday, his voice low butsteady.

He obviously was making an effort tocontrol himself after his incredible come-back effort had fallen just one stroke shortand Lee Trevino — s till stunned by his mir-acle chip sho t on t he 17th ho le — escaped

with his second consecutive British OpenGolf Championship.

Trevino’s triumph shattered Nicklaus’dream of a one-year sweep of the world’sfour major t itles, an unprecedented feat thatmany players and observers have deemedimpossible. Nicklaus, halfway to the goalhaving won the Masters and U.S. Opentitl es, almost added the Britis h Open title tohis list.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Maikel Reyesmissed Cuba’s first CONCACAF Gold Cuppool play game due to visa problems. Hemade sure his country didn’t miss reachingthe quarterfinals, though.

Reyes’ header in the 7 3rd minute resulted

in a 1-0 win over Guatemala on Wednesdaynight, vaulting Cuba into a quarterfinalshowdown with the United States onSaturday in Baltimore.

Cuba (1-2-0) advanced despite finishingwith a minus-7 goal differential in poolplay, the worst in Gold Cup history. Theprevious low among t eams to advance out of pool play was Trinidad and Tobago in 2 000and Cuba in 2013, both with minus-2 scor-ing differentials.

“The goal was important for th e team andfor me it was extremely important,” Reyessaid through an int erpreter. “This is a matchthat will go down in the history of Cubanfootball.”

Cuba’s first goal of the tournament camewhen Alberto Gomez sent a crossing p ass in

the center of the box to Reyes, who headedthe ball past Paulo Motta.Reyes ripped off his j ersey in celebration,

drawing a yellow card.“I was very happ y because this represent-

ed that we were going to win this match,”Reyes said.

Reyes did not play in Cuba’s first poolplay game, a 6-0 loss last week to Mexicodue to visa i ssues. He returned for the s econdgame against Trinidad and Tobago , althoughhe didn’t score in the 2-0 loss.

“We were able to overcome those prob-lems and this victory says it all,” Reyessaid.

Reyes said the goal was impo rtant to hi m,but wasn’t the biggest of his career. He saidscoring in the 20-and-under World Cupmeant even more to him.

Cuba won despite missi ng four players.

Keiler Garcia an d Arael Arguellez defectedearlier in the tournament, and Dario Suarezand Aricheel Hernandez were no-shows for

this game. Hernandez was among the play-ers who had visa problems before the tour-nament, but Suarez’s whereabouts co uld notbe confirmed after he was present for thefirst two games.

Cuba coach Raul Gonzalez had no com-ment on reports th at Suarez had also defect-ed.

“I won’t answer that question,” Gonzalezsaid through an in terpreter. “I’m here to talkabout (soccer), not politics.”

Reyes said the United States will b e a dif-ficult matchup for Cuba.

“We are just going to keep focused andkeep a strong mentality,” Reyes said.

Said Gonzalez: “The USA is one of thefavored teams in the tournament to win itand we have to prepare very well to play 90minutes physically and mentally.”

Guatemala finish ed the tournament 0-2 -1.

Mexico, Trinidad and Tobago drawTwo goals in stoppage time led to a 4-4

draw between Mexico and Trinidad andTobago on Wednesday night in their finalgroup match at the CONCACAF Gold Cup.

Tied 3-3 through regulation, Mexico pulledahead on an own goal by Trinidad and Tobagodefender Cordell Cato in the first minute of extra play. With less than a minute left,Trinidad and Tobago’s Yohance Marshallheaded in a corner kick to tie the match.

Trinidad and Tobago (2-0-1, 7 points)took Group C’s top seed into the quarterfi-nals, and will face Panama on Sunday inEast Rutherford, N.J. Mexico (1-0-2, 5points) will play Costa Rica in the secondquarterfinal g ame Sunday.

Mexico, which has won six Gold Cuptitles, took a 1-0 halftime lead on PaulAguilar’s goal in the 32nd minute, andpulled ahead 2-0 on Carlos Vega’s shot off

the left post in the 51st minute.

Negreanu wagered the last of his chipsafter an ace in his hand paired the board.McKeehen called with several draws, theodds of winning the hand against him butplenty of chips to absorb a loss. He wonwhen the queen delivered a straight on thefinal community card.

“I killed the room. I know that,”McKeehen said of the knockout. “I know Imay be a villain for a little while.”

Negreanu, 40, had plenty of fans cheeringhim at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino ashe sought his biggest score in his hall-of-fame career, obliging them with photos,banter and even 30 push-ups as th ey countedout loud. Though he
