It can be difficult for a scienceteacher to interest high schoolstudents on the importance or rel-evance of covalent bonds, nitratelevels, cell membranes or a vari-ety of other traditional disci-plines.
Which is whyLance Powell,an environmen-tal scienceteacher atM e n l o -Atherton HighSchool, broad-ened his lessonplan beyond
the traditionally dry nomenclatureof textbooks to help his curricu-lum reson ate with students.
His efforts have not gone unno-ticed, as the EnvironmentalProtection Agency recently hon-ored Powell in a ceremony at theWhite House for his innovativeand creative lessons, which havesparked a passion and interest in
his students for science and theenvironment.
The EPA, in a collabo ration withthe White House Council onEnvironmental Quality, honoredPowell and 26 other educatorsfrom across the nation Friday,July 17, with the PresidentialInnovation Award forEnvironmental Education .
He received the award partiallyfor his lessons taught during fieldtrips, focused on helping studentsunderstand how complex scientif-ic theories are responsible foraffecting the local environment.

The San Mateo County HistoricalAssociation has named Pete and PaulaUccelli its 2015 History Makers.
Pete, who died in 2 005, founded RedwoodCity’s Pete’s Harbor in 1955. The propertystayed in the family until Paula sold it in
201 2. It is n ow slated to be redeveloped into400 units of housing.From modest beginnings, both Pete and
Paula Uccelli rose to become importantPeninsula leaders, according to theHistorical Association.
Pete left school in the eighth-grade tohelp run his family’s farm in South SanFrancisco. In 1955, he purchased some 21acres between Redwood Creek and SmithSlough and turned it into the locall y famous“Pete’s Harbor.”
Paula’s family moved from San Jose toRedwood City in 1951. Her sister Marilynintroduced the two, and a life partnershiplike no other developed.
When in the mid 1960s, the state of California moved to take the marina awayfrom Pete, a grassroots “Save Pete’s
Harbor” campaign eventually led to Gov.George Deukmejian signing legislation togive the Uccellis final rights to th e proper-ty.
Pete’s and Paula’s popularity developedfrom their outstanding commitment to theirlocal community and its charitable causes.For example, it was their idea to organizethe Sequoia Awards that has granted over$1.5 million in scholarships to local stu-dents, according to the HistoricalAssociation.
Since Pete’s death, Paula has remained
active in the Redwood City community. Shehas chosen to participate in the HistoryMakers Dinner and to support t he HistoricalAssociation because of its work in preserv-ing the past and providing hands-on learn-ing experiences for nearly 20,000 schoolchildren each year.
Each year, the association hosts itsHistory Makers Dinner to h ighlight an indi-vidual or i ndividuals who h ave made signif-icant contributions to the region’s history.
Last year’s honoree was legendary foot-ball Hall of Famer Y.A. Titt le, who was quar-terback for the San Francisco 49ers from1951 to 1960.
The Historical Association is best knownfor operating three museums, t he San MateoCounty History Museum in Redwood City,Woodside Store and Sanchez Adobe inPacifica.
The History Makers Dinner will takeplace Sept. 17 at the Hotel Sofitel inRedwood City.
Those interested in attending can call thehistorical association at (650) 299-0104 orgo to www.histo rysm c.org.

Schools chief presentsblueprint for California education
LOS ANGELES — California should provide a cradle-to-career education system in which children are providedlearning opportunities from a young age and given supportand services inside and outside the classroom, the state’sschools chief recommended Friday.

The “Blueprint for Great Schools Version 2.0 ” presents amulti-pronged approach to implementing Common Core,the math and Engli sh lang uage arts benchmarks adopted bynearly all states.
The standards hav e faced resistance in s everal parts of t hecountry but have been widely accepted by California lead-ers, teacher unions and education groups.

WINTERS — Firefighters made
progress Friday against two wildfiresin Northern California, allowing somepeople to return home outside NapaValley after flames t hreaten ed hundredsof houses.
Crews battling a separate fire in theSierra Nevada hoped to reopenHighway 50 linking Sacramento andReno by the afternoon.
About 45 miles east of wine country,officials called off evacuation ordersfor roughly 50 of 200 evacuated homesas a 10 1/2 -square-mile blaze calmedin the drought-parched countrysidenear Lake Berryessa, said Amy Head,state fire spokeswoman. Highway 128also has reopened.
“The threat has diminished prettysubstantially in a lot of areas,” Head
said.Kelly Campbell, who helped evacu-
ate dozens of horses at her brother’sranch, said she returned Thursday tocheck on things and retrieve a cat.
“There was ash everywhere and theplanes were dropping all the retardant
just across the st reet,” sh e sai d. “I didnot want to stay there because the ashthat was falling was hot.”
The fire’s cause is under investiga-tion, but the state’s deep drought has
helped it thrive.
“The conditio ns o ut there because of the drought h ave caused all o f the fueland vegetation to become extremelydry and readily available to burn, soit’s definitely contributed to howquickly the fire has spread,” Head said.
The most active part of the fire,which broke out Wednesday, was burn-ing alo ng a mountain range in a remotearea several miles from the highwaythat feeds into the park for LakeBerryessa, one of the largest bodies of
fresh water in California. It was par-
tially contained.The fire is less than an hour’s driveto California’s famed Napa Valley winecountry, but no vineyards were inimmediate danger.
“It’s pretty far away from the NapaValley,” Head said, adding that peopleare “fine to go i nto the Napa Valley anddo tastings. ”
Businesses closer to the wildfiresalso say commerce is not affected,with customers buying wine and rent-

WASHINGTON — A new letter byintelligence investigators to theJustice Department says secret gov-ernment information may have beencompromised in Hillary RodhamClinton’s private server, underscoringan inescapable reality for her presi-dential campaign: Email is forever.
Clinton, the former secretary of state and now the leading Democraticpresidential candidate, wants to focuson the economic issues she and herteam believe will drive the next elec-tion. But they remain unable to fullyescape the swirling questions sur-rounding her decision to run her StateDepartment correspondence through
an unsecured sys-tem set up at herNew York home.
The inspectorgeneral of the U.S.intelligence com-munity recentlyalerted the JusticeDepartment to thepotential compro-mise of classifiedinformation aris-
ing from Clinton’s server. The IG alsosent a memo to members of Congressthat he had identified “potentiallyhundreds of classified emails” amongthe 30,000 that Clinton had providedto the State Department — a concernthe o ffice said it raised with FBI coun-terintelligence o fficials.
Though the referral to the JusticeDepartment does not seek a criminalprobe and does not specifically target
Clinton, the latest steps by govern-ment investigators will further fuelthe partisan furor surrounding the55,000 pages of emails already underreview by the State Department.
A statement from the intelligenceinspector general, I. CharlesMcCullough, and his counterpart atthe State Department, Steve Linick,said that McCullough’s office foundfour emails containing classifiedinformation in a limited sample of 4 0emails.
“This classified information shouldhave never been transmitted via anunclassified personal system,” theysaid.

LAFAYETTE, La. — The man who killedtwo people and wounded nine others at amovie theater was so mentally ill and vio-lent that years ago, his wife hid his guns
and his family had him hos pitali zed againsthis will before obtaining a court order tokeep hi m away.
John Russel Houser, 59, stood up about20 min utes into t he “Trainwreck” movie andfired first at two people sitting in front of him, then aimed his handgun at others.Police said Friday they found 13 shell cas-ings.
“They heard a couple of pops and didn’tknow what it was,” said Randall Mann,whose 21 -year-old daughter, Emily, was s it-ting in the same row as the shooterThursday night.
She told her father that she did not hearthe shooter say anything before openingfire. “And then th ey saw the muzzle flashes,and that’s when they knew what was goingon. She hit the floor immediately.”
Mann said his daughter and her friendescaped, uninjured but traumatized.
Police say Houser had one additional
magazine of bullets forhis h andgun as he tried toescape. Then, when hespotted police officersoutside, he turned aroundand pushed back throughthe fleeing crowd. Theofficers tailed him intothe theater and heard asingle shot before find-ing him dead inside,police said.
Houser parked his 1995 blue LincolnContinental by the theater’s exit door, anddisguises including glasses and wigs werefound in a search of his room at a nearbyMotel 6, police said. He had also switchedthe license plate on his car.
“It is apparent that he was intent onshooting and then escaping,” LafayettePolice Chief Jim Craft said.
Police were looking at online postingsthey believed Houser wrote to learn moreabout him and try to figure out his motive,superintendent Col. Michael D. Edmonsonsaid.
In the 1990s, he frequently appeared ona local television call-in show, advocat-
ing violence against people involved inabortions, said Calvin Floyd, who hostedthe morning show on WLTZ-TV in
Columbus, Georgia.
Houser also espoused other radical views,including his opposition to women in theworkplace. Floyd described Houser as an
“angry man” who made “wild accusations”
about all sorts of top ics, and said he put himon to counter a Democratic voice because“he could make the phones ring.”

reduce or help filter stormwater runoff arepart of the city ’s green streets design prefer-ences that will be incorporated into the newlayout.
One of the most notable improvements isto create a class II fully-stripped bike lanealong a mile of the commuter route thatleads into downtown, said Public WorksDirector Brad Underwood.
Currently, numerous people report minoraccidents or cars that are sideswiped due tothe narrow width of the road. By reducingvehicle lanes and adding bike lanes, theproject should help improve safety for vari-ous travelers, said Underwood andCouncilman Rick Bonilla.
San Mateo Drive is “a great north-southroute for bicyclists and before, it’s beenkind of dangerous. It’s a little narrow andthere’s a lot of traffic,” Bonilla said. “Thisis going to make it more friendly for bicy-clists and all users.”
As the city is under state mandates to
reduce greenhouse gas emissions, this proj-ect along with others included in the city’sBicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan willhelp achieve targets o utlined in San Mateo’sClimate Action Plan, Bonilla said.
Furthermore, providing safer opportuni-ties for people to get out of their cars andwalk or bike into downtown offers lastingbenefits.
“A bigger net positive is the health
effects. Which is people get healthier whenthey bike or walk. So it’ll make it safer,reduce traffic and improve mobili ty for b othpeople biking or driving. It’ll make it afriendlier street,” Bonilla said.
The city is in the early stages of the proj-ect with staff currently reviewing potentialfirms to finalize the design and is planningto conduct p ublic outreach, Underwood said.
Of the total cost, the city is contributingabout $1 million, which includes $100, 000from its receipt of Measure A funds, and a$400,000 grant from the City/CountyAssociation of Governments’ Pedestrian andBicycle Program under the TransportationDevelopment Act, according to the report.

they needed volunteers, so after about amonth or so, I’d been promot ed from a back-up deal to a co-chairman. So the promo-tion’s come fast.”
Although the museum’s facilities havebeen updated to meet the most recent ADAregulation s, the crowded receptions posed achallenge for Roth, who found that it wasdifficult to maneuver in a scooter throughcrowds of peo ple.
“We had a reception at the end of May andthere was over a hundred people in here,”Roth s aid. “I remember I had to go from thedesk to the restroom, and when there’s ahundred people s tuffed in th e deal t here, it ’svery difficult to get around. It’s just too
crowded. The building is just too small. ”The idea to h ave a day set aside for peoplewith mobility challenges came about as aresult. As of last Tuesday, the museum andstudios will open their doors for a secondopening reception on the Tuesdays aftertheir new exhibits debut. Although thegallery is accessible to everyone during itsregular ho urs, the Tuesday receptio ns offer aless crowded and more relaxed option formobility-impaired vis itors.
“They want to look at it and then theywant to stare at it and everything,” Roth
said. “When you have too many people inhere you just can’t do th at.”
Waters said all it took was a little extra
planning and consideration for the Tuesdayreception. Placards and fliers were placedlower to be accessible to people in wheel-chairs, and arrangements were made withtheir upstairs neighbors to use their frontdoor, making the studios on the secondfloor accessible without an elevator.
Tuesday’s event attracted a small butenthusiastic group from Aegis AssistedLiving in South San Francisco. The smallturnout allowed them to take their time andenjoy the art in a relaxed environment.
“I noticed all the people who came todaystayed about an hour,” Roth said. “They’renot rushed and they don’t have to worryabout getting out of the way of other peopleand everything.
Aegis Assisted Living Director Ann MarieAndrez had arranged a trip to the museum for
her residents before, and was excited thatthey’d have more opportunities to access arich cultural experience so close to home.
“I met Ruth the first time when we camehere, I think it was two months ago, threemonths ago,” Andrez said. “We’d never seenanything like it.”

President returns toKenya and reuniteswith father’s familyBy Julie PaceTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NAIROBI, Kenya — Fulfillingthe hopes of millions of Kenyans,Barack Obama returned to hisfather’s homeland Friday for thefirst time as U.S. p resident, a longsought visit by a country that con-siders him a local son.
The president spent the eveningreuniting with his Kenyan family,including his elderly step-grand-mother who made the trip to thecapital of Nairobi from her ruralvillage. U.S. and Kenyan flagslined the main road from Nairobi’sairport, and billboards heraldingObama’s trip dotted the city.
“I don’t think that Kenyansthink of Obama as African-American. They think of him asKenyan-American,” said EJHogendoorn, deputy programdirector for Africa at theInternational Crisis Group.
Obama’s link to Kenya is afather he barely knew, but whoseinfluence can nonetheless be seenin his son’s presidency.
Obama has spoken candidlyabout growing up without hisKenyan-born father and feeling“the weight of that absence.” A
White House initiative to supportyoung men of color who face sim-ilar circumstances has become aproject dear to Obama, one heplans to continue after leaving theWhite House.
In Africa, Obama has used hislate father’s struggle to overcomegov ernment corruptio n as a way topush leaders to strengt hen democ-racies. He’s expected to makegood governance and democracy-building a centerpiece of his twodays of meetings and speeches inNairobi, as well as a stop nextweek in Ethiopia.
“In my father’s life, it was part-ly tribalism and patronage andnepotism in an independent
Kenya that for a long stretchderailed his career,” Obama saidduring a 2009 trip to Ghana, hisfirst visit to Africa as president.“We know that t his k ind of corrup-tion is still a daily fact of life forfar too many.”
The president’s father, BarackObama, Sr., left Kenya as a yo ungman to study at the University of Hawaii. There, he met Stanl ey AnnDunham, a white woman fromKansas. They would soon marryand have a son, who was namedafter his father.
The elder Obama left Hawaiiwhen he son was just two yearsold, first to continue his studies atHarvard, then to return to Kenya.The future president and his fatherwould see each other just oncemore, when the son was 10 yearsold. Obama’s father died in a carcrash in 198 2, at age 46.
“I didn’t have a dad in thehouse,” Obama said last year dur-ing a White House event for MyBrother’s Keeper, his initiativefor young men. “I was angry ab outit, even though I didn’t necessari-
ly realize it at the time.”Obama’s first trip to Kenya
nearly 30 years ago was a quest tofill in the gaps in the story of hisfather’s life. In his memoir“Dreams From My Father,” Obamawrote that at the time of his death,“my father remained a mystery tome, both more and less than aman.”
What Obama uncovered was aportrait of a talented, but troubledman. An economist for theKenyan government, the seniorObama clashed with then-
President Jomo Kenyatta overtribal divisions and allegations of corruption. He was ultimatelyfired by the president, sendinghim into a tailspin of financialproblems and heavy drinking.
The Kenyan leader Obama willmeet with this weekend, UhuruKenyatta, is the son of the presi-dent his father confront ed decadesago.
Obama met most of his Kenyanfamily for the first time on thatinitial trip to his father’s homecountry.

ANKARA, Turkey — In a majortactical shift, Turkish warplanesstruck Islamic State group targetsacross the border in Syria onFriday, a day after IS militantsfired at a Turkish military o utpost.A Syrian rights group said theairstrikes killed nine IS fighters.
Turkey, which straddles Europeand Asia and borders the MiddleEast, had long been reluctant to
jo in th e U.S.-led coali tio n againstthe extremist group.
In a related, lon g-awaited devel-opment, Turkey said it has agreedto allow U.S.-led coalition forcesto base manned and unmanned air-craft at its air bases for operationstargeting the IS group.
A Turkish Foreign Ministrystatement said Turkey’s militarywould also take part in the opera-tions.
The ministry would not providedetails on the agreement, citingoperational reasons, but said itexpected Turkey’s cooperation to
“make a difference” to the cam-paign. The statement did not saywhich bases would be used, butTurkish media reports said theywould include Incirlik, Diyarbakirand Batman, all in southernTurkey n ear the bo rder with Syria.
President Recep Tayyip Erdoganconfirmed earlier that Turkey hadagreed to let the U.S. use Incirlikair base for operations “within acertain framework.” A U.S. offi-cial said the agreement wasreached during a phone call thisweek with President BarackObama.
In June 2014, the Islamic Stategroup launched a blitz, capturinglarge parts of Iraq and of Syria —which has been ravaged by a four-year-old civil war. The group s ub-sequently declared an Islamiccaliphate on the territory it con-trols. The U.S.-led coalition hasbeen striking the group in bothSyria and Iraq.
Turkish police also launched amajor operation Friday againstextremist groups including theIslamic State, detaining more than290 people in simultaneous raidsin Istanbul and 12 provinces.
Prime Minister AhmetDavutoglu said the airstrikesFriday had “removed potentialthreats” to Turkey, hitting theirtargets with “100 percent accura-cy.” He did not rule out furtherairstrikes, saying Turkey wasdetermined to stave off all terrorthreats.
“This was not a point operation,this is a process,” Davutoglu said.“It is not limited to one day or toone region ... the slightest move-ment threatening Turkey will beretaliated against i n t he strongestway possi ble.”

Big movers
By Alex Veiga THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The U.S. stock market capped a four-day losing streak with it s big gest dropof the week.
Disappointing quarterly results and
outlooks from several companiespulled the major stock i ndexes sharplylower on Friday. New signs pointingto a slowing of China’s economy alsoadded to investor jitters, bringingdown the price of oil and other com-modities.
While corporate profits have mostlyexceeded Wall Street’s expectations sofar this earnings season, investorshave grown uneasy as many compa-nies provided cautious outlooks orweak s ales.
“The revenue numbers have beenvery shaky,” said JJ Kinahan, TDAmeritrade’s chief strategist. “Afternext week, we’ll have a much betterpicture overall how the earnings sea-son was. But right now, that’s the
theme that I’m seeing, and it’s not ahealthy one.”
The mixed company earningsincreasingly weighed on stocks as theweek wore on. The Standard & Poor’s500 i ndex has now los t ground four outof the last five weeks.
The S&P 500 ended the day down22.50 points, or 1.1 percent, to2,079. 65, while the Dow Jones indus-
trial average slid 163.39 points, or0.9 percent, to 17,56 8.53. The Nasdaqcomposite lost 57.78 points, or 1.1percent, to 5,088.63.
Stocks kicked off the week on astrong note, driving the Nasdaq to itslatest record high and bringing the
S&P 500 close to a milestone of itsown. But it’s been downhill sincethen. The Dow fell into negative terri-tory for the year on Thursday. As of Friday, it was down 1.4 percent for2015.
The tech-focused Nasdaq remains thebest-performing i ndex for the year. It’sup 7.4 percent, compared with 1 per-cent for the S&P 500.
Trading g ot off to an uneven st art onFriday. The major indexes were alldown by midmorning as traders sizedup the latest corporate earnings.
Biotechnology company Biogenand pharmaceutical company AbbVieboth reported a better-than-expectedsecond-quarter profits, but their rev-enue fell s hort of Wall Street forecasts.
Biogen plunged $85.02, or 22.1 per-cent, to $300.03. AbbVie declined$2.44, or 3.5 percent, to $68.08.
Capital One Financial, whichannounced quarterly results a day earli-er that failed to live up to financialanalysts’ expectations, sank 13.1 per-cent. The stock ended down $11.91 at$78.86.
Even a dash of merger news, which
often puts investors in a buying mood,failed to impress.
Anthem agreed to buy rival Cigna for$48 billion in a deal that would createthe nation’s largest health insurer byenrollment, covering about 53 millionU.S patients. Anthem fell $4.35, or
2.8 percent, to $150.86, while Cignalost $8.64, or 5.6 percent, to$145.72.
Investo rs did welcome Amazon’s lat-est quarterly report card. The e-com-merce pioneer announced a surpriseprofit late Thursday. The s tock vaulted$47.24, or 9.8 percent, to $529. 42.
Nine of the 10 sectors in the S&P500 ended lower. Health care stocksfell the most, 2.5 percent. Utilitiesedged higher.
Of the 187 companies in the S&P500 t hat have reported earning s so far,about 72 percent of them have deliv-ered results that beat Wall Street esti-mates, according to S&P Capital IQ.That’s better than the historical aver-age of 66 percent.
“Generally most companies are see-ing modest growth, but nothing towrite home about,” said BradSorensen, managi ng director of marketand sector analysis at Schwab Centerfor Financial Research.
Another 163 compani es, or a third of the S&P 500, are due to report earningsnext week, including Facebook,Twitter and Exxon Mob il.
S&P index notches another losing week
By Tom Murphy, MichelleChapman and Matthew PerroneTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Anthem is buying rivalCigna for $48 billion in a deal that wouldcreate the nation’s largest health insurer byenrollment, covering about 53 million U.Spatients.
In just three weeks, starting with Aetna’s$35 billion bid for Humana Inc. on July 3,the landscape of U.S. health care has beenaltered in a buyout frenzy that could trans-form five massive U.S. health companiesinto just three, including UnitedHealthGroup.
Larger insurers have negot iating power tosqueeze better rates from drug companiesand health care providers. But the wave of consolidation could lead to fewer choicesfor consumers in certain markets.
Regulators scrutinizing the two mega-dealswill be trying to assess whether these com-bined companies would have so much p owerthat they could dominate markets and drive
already high health-care costs even higher.Employer-sponsored health insurance is
growing slowly and with the recent over-haul of the nation’s health care system,providers are jostling for the largest shareof the millions o f people who have signedup.
The deal announced Friday is valued at$54 .2 billio n including debt. Shareholdersof Cigna, based in Bloomfield,Connecticut, will receive $103.40 per sharein cash and 0.5152 shares of Anthem stockfor each of their shares. The companies putthe total value at $188 per share.
Anthem CEO Joseph Swedish said duringa teleconference Friday that the combinedcompany would “advance affordability,
choice, access an d quality.”But the merger’s impact will take ti me to
be felt by co nsumers, because ins urers havealready finalized most of their plans for
coverage that starts in January.Insurance industry consultant Robert
Laszewski said insurers are bulking up tonegotiate with bigger hospital systems,which are going t hrough their own round of consolidation. The resulting “arms race”does not bode well for consumers.
“It means they have fewer choices andthere isn’t much incentiv e for either side toreally get more efficient,” Laszewski said.“Once they check each other they s ettle int othis detente”
The American Medical Association,which represents U.S. physicians, voicedsimil ar concerns Friday and called for closescrutiny b y federal regulators.
“To give commercial health insurers vir-
tually unlimited power to exert control ov eran issue as significant and sensitive aspatient health care is bad for patients andnot good for the nation’s health care sys-
tem,” said Steven Stack, in a statement.Anthem’s combination with Cigna would
create a much broader base over which tospread costs and expenses, and the technol-ogy investments it makes would be extend-ed over the industry’s biggest customerpool.
Data and technology are playing a grow-ing role in monito ring patients and care. Ata very basic level, that means things liketracking whether patients are keeping upwith their immunizations.
Insurers also are trying to gi ve consumersbetter information o n the cost and quality o f the care they buy, based on their coverage.Deductibles and other out-of-pocket costshave been rising for years.

Andrew Daschbach, an incoming senior at Sacred Heart Prep, earned his second consecutiveinvitation to the prestigioius Area Code Games in Long Beach.
By Terry BernalDAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Andrew Daschbach is returning to the AreaCode Games. And this time, he’s taking someold friends with h im.
Daschbach — a three-sport standout enter-ing his senior year at Sacred Heart Prep — wasselected Tuesday to participate in his secondconsecutive Area Code Games, to be held Aug.4-9 at Long Beach State. The annual tourna-ment, affiliated with Major League Baseball, isone of the prestigious scouting platforms inthe game featuring eight teams composed of the elite high school prospects from aroundthe nation.
Last season, Daschbach was the onlyPeninsula player named to the Area CodeBaseball Underclass Games. This year, thethird baseman graduates to the spot ligh t eventwith the Oakland A’s Area Code squad, being
join ed by Serra outfielder Hunter Bishop, andthe St. Francis tandem of second basemanAndrew Martinez — a Pacifica resident — and2015 West Catholic Athletic League BaseballPlayer of the Year, center fielder Jeremy Ydens.
“It was an honor to be chosen last year, andit’s definitely an hono r to be chosen again th isyear,” Daschbach said. “It was one of my goalsto get back … to play in front of college andprofessional scouts.”
This isn’t the first time Daschbach, Bishop,Martinez and Ydens will team together. Theyfirst appeared on the same roster in grade
school with Mission City Baseball, a travelteam founded by former Stanford player andSeattle Mariners farmhand Mike Codiroli. AndDaschbach, who verbally committed toStanford earlier this year, said the formidablefoursome had an impact on the diamond eventhen.
“We won our fair share of championshipsbut had a good time doing it, so that was themost important part,” Daschbach said.
Yet, Daschbach was the one who opted tobreak up the band in high school in choosingto att end Sacred Heart Prep. Bish op, Martinezand Ydens all chose St. Francis. Then Bishoptransferred to Serra in 2014-15, where heplayed football and baseball. As per Central

Jackson Burkhalter and Sheldon Laymanare slinging a football around a grassy fieldon a muggy fall evening in Mobile,Alabama, under the watchful eye of DavidMorris, who spent most of his college foot-ball career as Eli Manning’s backup and isnow tutoring aspiring QBs.
The young quarterbacks throw flat-footedand from their knees, dropping back and
rolling out. Neither is in high school yet,but both have been working with Morris foryears.
Personal training starts early for mostquarterbacks and it can be costly. It is abooming business, with some parentsspending thousands of dollars per year torefine their sons’ skills and keep up with thecompetition. Morris and former NFL quarter-back Trent Dilfer are among those who aretrying to make sure that quarterback doesn’tbecome an exclusive position, only attain-
able by kids who have access to high-leveltraining.
“Everybody should have an opportunity tobe th e quarterback. It sh ouldn’t be who yourdad was, who your high school coach wasand how much money you have,” Dilfer said.
Five years ago, Dilfer became the face anddriving force behind Elite 11, a quarterbackcompetition for top high school prospects.Dilfer said all 18 Elite 11 fin alists who com-peted in Oregon earlier this mont h have had

CHESTER, Pa. — Asked what winning thethird-place game at the CONCACAF Gold Cupwould mean, U.S. captain Michael Bradleypaused for a moment, then said softly, “Notmuch.”
The midfielder quickly added that pride and
competitiveness would keep the Americansplaying hard against a short-handed Panamasquad, a promise repeated often by his team-mates and coach Jurgen Klinsmann on Friday.Once the U.S. was stunned by Jamaica in thesemifinals, cutting short its bid to repeat as
Gold Cup champion,Saturday’s third-placematch was left to buildmomentum and try out dif-ferent lineups.
In many ways, those arealways objectives forKlinsmann as he seeks todevelop a squad that cancontend against the world’sbest. For a coach in hisposition , the trick is to win
enough in the short term to stick around to pos-
sibly see through those long-term results.“We want to continue the process toward2018,” he said about the next World Cup. “Thisis Year 1 after the World Cup in Brazil, a year of rebuilding the pieces and bringing in young,new players, trying a lot of things out.”
Klinsmann specifically defended two youngplayers, center backs John Brooks and VenturaAlvarado. The 22-year-olds have been shaky attimes in the Gold Cup, and they were unable toprevent Jamaica’s Darren Mattocks from head-ing in the first goal of Wednesday’s 2-1 loss ona throw-in.
“They have to go through these pains,”Klinsmann said, adding, “We’re going to do astep back here and there.”

INDIANAPOLIS — A new rules packagefor Indianapolis Motor Speedway providedvisibility issues for drivers. More troublingfor NASCAR, though, is that after nearly
five hours of practice Friday, there was littl eindication the changes will produce betterracing.
NASCAR, in its effort to improve the on-track product, is using four track-specificaerodynamic packages to s ee what could bea better fit for the heavy stock cars. Thepackage used two weeks ago at Kentuckywas well-received by the drivers, butNASCAR switched to a high-drag setup forIndianapolis, where passing has alwaysbeen difficult.
“Hey man, this is a big event for us, it’scrucial that this event goes down as a goodrace every time we are here,” Clint Bowyersaid. “Settling for second-best is not anoption. I’m proud that NASCAR realizesthat and pushes hard to try to figure outsomething that is better than what we’ve
had in the past when we come to such animportant venue.”
There were mixed opinions after threelong practice sessions Friday, and many
drivers said anytime they got too close toanother car, the turbulence was so rough,they had to back off to avoid crashing.
“Passing will be tough to say the least,but we’re trying something new,” DennyHamlin said. “I can’t fault (NASCAR) fortrying — they t ried what we wanted to t ry (atKentucky) and I tho ught we had a pretty suc-cessful race. Now we’re trying somethingdifferent. We’ll see if i t’s better or n ot. ”
Last year’s Brickyard 400, won for arecord fifth time by Jeff Gordon, featured
just 15 lead chang es at the st art/finis h l ine— a number that NASCAR would like to seego up. The five-year average for green-flagpasses for the lead is 16, and the margin of victory is a whopping 2.371 seconds.
With drivers feeling as i f they had to back
off whenever they closed in o n anot her car,it’s not clear if those statistics will beimproved Sunday. Carl Edwards said “Icouldn’t get closer than 15 car lengths,” to
another car before he had to back off.But Jamie McMurray, winner of the 2010
Brickyard, said it’s too early to judge thepackage.
“We haven’t had a restart, and to me, therestart is where this package is going toplay a bigger role than in practice,”McMurray said. “The thing with practice isthat as you start to catch the car in front of you, typically their car is not very good.So, when you see somebody catching youfairly quick, you pull in s o you can work onit and get your car better.”
Part of the high-drag aero packageincludes a 9-inch spoiler with a 1-inchwicker bill. Although part of the spoiler isclear and gives drivers a gap, most seemedto thin k it wasn’t big enough to see through
from the rearview mirror.“It’s challenging to see,” Joey Loganosaid. “I think I can see about five car lengthsbehind me, and any cars that are further back
than that I can’t see.“That isn’t th e end of the world. If they’re
five car lengths back, you’re probably nottoo worried about it any way. When they getclose is when you want to see it, but it isnice sometimes because we don’t know.We’ll see with this whole drafting package
down the straightaway when that run isgoing to start.”Hamlin said he’d have preferred a clear
wicker, but was surprised at how much hewas able to see.
But that wasn’t even Hamlin’s biggestissue Friday.
His vision out the front windshield wasseverely h ampered during practice when hishood flew open. The mishap apparentlyoccurred because his team failed to tightenthe hood pins before the second practice.When the hood flew up, it smashed hiswindshield and he had to return to t he garagefor repairs.
“The speeds that we’re going, when thathood comes up, it just disintegrates andblo ws,” Hamlin said. “The good thing i s (it)didn’t all s tay to gether. The hood blew apart
so much I h ad a gap th ere I could see.“It blew the roof apart a lot. There is a lo tof force there that tears up a lot o f stuff any-time the hood comes up.”
Drivers adjusting to new rules at Brickyard“I can’t fault (NASCAR) for trying — they tried what we wanted to try
(at Kentucky) and I thought we had a pretty successful race. Now we’re trying something different. We’ll see if it’s better or not.”

STAMFORD, Conn. — World WrestlingEntertainment Inc. has severed ties with HulkHogan amid a report that one of the biggeststars in professional wrestling history usedracial slurs in a conversation caught on a sextape.
The company deleted most references toHogan on its website and issued a statementFriday saying it had terminated its contractwith him.
WWE did not give a reason, but issued astatement saying it is “committed to embrac-ing and celebrating individuals from all back-grounds as demonstrated by the diversity of
our employees, performersand fans worldwide.”
On Friday, a join t reportfrom RadarOnlin e.com andThe National Enquirer saidthat Hogan had used racialslurs in a conversationcaught on a sex video thatis the subject of an inva-sion of privacy lawsuit.
In a statement, the 61-year-old Hogan apologized for using “offen-sive language” in a conversation eight yearsago.
“It was unacceptable for me to have used thatoffensive language; there is no excuse for it;
and I apologize for having done it,” Hogansaid, calling his departure from a WWE a res-ignation.
His attorneys did not immediately returnmessages left by The Associated Press.
Hogan, perhaps the biggest star in WWE’sfive-decade history, was the main draw for thefirst WrestleMania in 1985 and was a fixturefor years in its signature event, facing every-one from Andre The Giant and Randy Savageto The Rock and even company chairmanVince McMahon.
He won six WWE championships and wasinducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2005by Sylvester Stallone.
But he was able to transcend his
“Hulkamania” fan base to become a celebrityoutside the wrestling world, appearing innumerous movies and television shows,including a reality show about his life onVH1, “Hogan Knows Best.”
Hogan is currently seeking $100 millionfrom the website Gawker for posting part of the sex tape of him with Heather Cole, the ex-wife of Hogan’s one-time friend and radioshow host Bubba the Love Sponge Clem.
Gawker, which removed the video from itswebsite under a court order, said it had the rig htto publish the edited video because Hogantalked in detail about his sex life before thevideo’s release, which made the story news-worthy.

CHICAGO — It’s been 14 months sinceT.J. Dillashaw had Renan Barao on his backas he delivered multiple right hands to thedefenseless champ.
Dillashaw (12-2) shocked the MMA world
by taking the title away from Barao (35-2)with a fifth-round victory in a UFC ban-tamweight championship fight in Las Vegas.
A rematch was imminent, but two majorsetbacks pushed the fight back. Finally onSaturday, in a nationally televised fight onFOX, Dillashaw is scheduled to defend thetitle against Barao in th e main event figh t atthe United Center in Chicago.
The rematch was supposed to happen onAug. 30 in Sacramento, but Barao wasremoved from the rematch after falling ill
during his weight cut onthe day before the fight.Dillashaw then had tofight Joe Soto, who wasbumped up from an under-card fight. He beat Soto inthe fifth round.
Dillashaw criticized
Barao, who once was oneof the top pound-for-pound fighters in the
UFC, for s trugglin g to make weight.“I had to switch my oppo nent in 2 4 hours,
which is a crazy feeling,” Dillashaw said.“But I let it go, there is nothing to it now.He’s the one unprofessional and couldn’tmake the weight so I’m not really worriedabout it.”
The 28-year old Brazilian said he’s grownup since that incident.
“I learned a lot, but theimportant thing I learnedis to be more professionaland train more like a pro-fessional fighter,” Baraosaid through an inter-preter. “All I can say tohim is that I come much
more aggressive to thisfight and I have changed alot.”
Barao’s last fight came in December, athree-round win against Mitch Gagnon.There was another attempt at a rematch inMarch, but that fight was postponed afterDillashaw broke his rib during training .
The card for Saturday’s event also hasMiesha Tate (16-5) against Jessica Eye (11-2), with Tate hopi ng t o get a third chance atfacing Ronda Rousey.
“I think that if anyone is going to beatRonda, it ’s going t o be me. I feel like I needto get p ast this fight and I feel like I n eed tohave a strong finis h in the fight, ” Tate said.“Before I talked too much about Ronda, Ineed to go out there Saturday and prove why Ideserve that fight. I have to s tay focused onJessica and she has to have my full atten-
tion.”Tate will also s pend time rings ide earlier in
day, when her boyfriend Bryan Caraway (19-8) faces Eddie Wineland (21-10-1) in anundercard bantamweight fight.
The card also features a pair of lightweightfights. Edson Barboza (15-3) will face PaulFelder (10-0). Barboza will try to reboundafter losing to Michael Johnson in February.Joe Lauzon (24-11) is scheduled to fight for-mer Pride lightweight champion TakanoriGomi (35-10).
