Prometheus buys Kingfish building for $10.5M

Developer to maintain ground-floor restaurant, convert other levels to office
By Anna Schuessler
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
A storied building at Second
Avenue and B Street in downtown
San Mateo will enter a new chapter
in its history after the developer
Prometheus Real Estate Group pur-
chased the 15,280-square-foot
Kingfish building at 201 S. B St. for
$10.5 million earlier this month.
Located some two blocks away
from the developer’s future head-
quarters at the Trag’s Market site at
303 Baldwin Ave., the building is
set to hold another restaurant or
retail store on its ground-floor level
and office on its second floor, base-
ment and part of its first floor after
the developer makes interior reno-
vations to the building, according
to a press release issued by
Prometheus.
With plans to replace the Trag’s
Market to build a four- and five-
story mixed-use building,
Prometheus President John
Millham said the purchase is con-
sistent with the developer’s ongo-
ing investment in downtown San
Mateo. Millham said the developer
will be focused on updating the
building’s interior to accommodate
a growing technology company or
similar type of business on the
building’s second floor and base-
ment, and is committed to maintain-
ing the historical nature of the
building’s exterior.
“We’re excited about the acquisi-
tion and look forward to furthering
an iconic building in San Mateo,”
he said.
Having owned the property since
1968, the Constantino family has
seen the building through several

Decoy program keeps crossings safe

CHP warns against distracted driving in unincorporated Redwood City
By Zachary Clark
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Drivers passing through the
intersection of Middlefield Road
and Pacific Avenue in unincorpo-
rated Redwood City were put to the
test on Monday.
In an effort to improve pedestri-
an safety, plainclothes California
Highway Patrol officers crossed
the street between 8 a.m. and 2
p. m. while uniformed officers
monitored the crosswalks, ready
to issue citations or warnings to
any motorist who failed to yield
the right-of-way.
“It’s been a busy morning,” said
CHP spokesman Christopher
Barshini, who was one of about
eight officers conducting the
pedestrian safety enforcement
operation. Three of them served as
decoys dressed in brightly colored
plain clothes. Barshini said he
personally stopped about eight
motorists that morning and one of
them was about 2 feet from hitting
a decoy officer.
Officers were also monitoring
car speeds and looking for other
illegal behavior, including cell-
phone or seatbelt violations.
Barshini said some drivers failed

Redwood City arrest
nets suspected pimp
STAFF AND WIRE REPORT
A man suspected of forcing a woman into
prostitution and beating her is behind bars
after he was arrested last week and charged
with human trafficking, pimping and pan-
dering, among other felony charges, accord-
ing to Redwood City police and the San
Mateo County District Attorney’s Office. 
Devonne Richardson, 28, of Elk Grove,
was suspected of assaulting a 26-year-old
woman he had allegedly forced to work as a
prostitute in various Bay Area cities, police
said.
Redwood City police were initially alerted
on Aug. 18 after responding to a domestic
violence call downtown, and found that the
suspect had fled. The victim initially denied
any domestic violence, but officers sensed
she was uneasy and took her to a temporary
shelter facility, police said.
After further interviews with the woman,
investigators learned more about the allega-
tions against Richardson, according to
police.
The victim told police that she had been
working as prostitute for about a month, and
that Richardson had a wide reach of clients
Efforts to preserve
Ampex sign continue
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
Now that the long-standing Ampex sign
has been taken down, efforts to relocate or
somehow preserve it are underway.   Stanford now owns the land in Redwood
Mayor Ian Bain said conversations
between the city and Stanford about the
future of the sign are taking place, and
Ampex itself is actively looking for a new
home for the sign, according to a press
release the company published Monday,
Aug. 27.
“Ampex Data Systems is proud of its her-
itage and the incredible history of the com-
pany, and understands that the sign had
become a valued landmark and symbol of the
community in the minds of residents and
visitors alike,” the company said in the
release.
Ampex moved from Redwood City to
LOCAL
throughout the Bay Area. He allegedly
threatened to send nude photographs to her
parents if she didn't work for him, police
said.
The woman told police that Richardson
kept all of her money, her cellphone and
identification, and denied her food and
forced her to sleep in his car.
Richardson was spotted on Friday by
Merced police after receiving a hit on an
automatic license plate reader triggered by
information entered by Redwood City
police into a wanted criminal database.
Richardson allegedly said he wanted to
hire his own lawyer when he appeared in
court for the first time Friday, and will return
to court Aug. 31 for appearance of a retained
attorney and to enter a plea to his charges.
He does not have a previous record in the
county and is in custody on $500,000 bail,
according to prosecutors. 
Anyone with information about the case
is asked to call Detective Sgt. Nick Perna

location is one place the company is trying

City on which Ampex and the sign was pre-
viously located, and the university removed
the sign to make way for its new satellite
campus there. During the development
review process in 2013, the Redwood City
Council determined the sign did not qualify
for historic designation and so the fate of
the sign was Stanford’s decision.  
Stanford put the dismantled sign in stor-
age and has been looking for an organiza-
tion to take it. The university said it prefers
to give the sign to a historical group of
some kind and even offered it to Ampex,
which had not expressed interest in it until
Monday.

A 20-month-old child was struck and crit-

The collision was reported around 8 p.m.
but occurred between 6:30 and 6:40 p.m. in
a private driveway about 30 feet from the

Fatal police shooting
probe took 10 years
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
OAKLAND — A Northern California district
attorney’s investigation of a police officer’s
fatal shooting of an unarmed man languished
for more than a decade before completion, a
newspaper reported Monday.
Alameda County District Attorney Nancy
O’Malley acknowledged her office failed to
finalize its investigation of the Dec. 31, 2007,
shooting in Oakland and notify the city’s
police department of its conclusions until last
week, The East Bay Times reported.
The district attorney’s policy is to investi-
gate and report the results of every fatal police
shooting in its jurisdiction.
Investigators completed their report in
2013, more than five years after the shooting,
but failed to send the results to the police
department, district attorney spokeswoman
Teresa Drenick said.
The report was forwarded last week after the
newspaper inquired about it, Drenick said. it

School criteria roils Asian-Americans — again
By Janie Har
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SAN FRANCISCO — Time and again,
Chinese-American students consistently
delivered top academic scores, only to be
denied admission to their dream school.
Parents bemoaned what they saw as an
unfair racial advantage given to black and
Latino children while their own children
were overlooked.
“Every year hundreds of Chinese-
American parents would be in anguish,” said
Lee Cheng, a 46-year-old intellectual prop-
erty attorney, who sought to end the prac-
tice. “I remember the disappointment in
some of my friends who were the kids of
immigrants, of very, very poor people who
Bill would allow medical pot on school campusesprescription. The bill lets school districts
By Kathleen Ronayne
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO — Some California par-
ents would be allowed to give their children
medical marijuana on school campuses
under a bill passed Monday by the state
Assembly and sent to Gov. Jerry Brown.
State law has allowed minors to access
medical marijuana since the 1990s but pro-
hibits it on school campuses. That means
parents have to remove their children from
school or meet them off campus to give
them a dose.
The bill says the marijuana would have to
be in non-smoking or vaping form, such as
in capsules or oils, and it could only be
given to students with a medical marijuana

worked in Chinatown.”
This may sound like the fights going on
today over testing in elite public schools in
New York City or lawsuits against presti-
gious universities such as Harvard over
affirmative action.
But the scenario played out more than
three decades ago on the other side of the
country over a public high school, demon-
strating the enduring nature of a controver-
sy in which Asian-Americans have played a
key role despite some feeling shut out of the
broader conversation.
In the 1980s, San Francisco’s prestigious
Lowell High School required Chinese appli-
cants to score higher on an admissions
index than whites, blacks and even other
Asians as part of a legal mandate to diversi-
opt-in to the policy; it does not mandate
them to allow it.
It was one of dozens of
bills passed Monday by
the Legislature ahead of a
Friday deadline to com-
plete its business for the
year.
Democratic Sen. Jerry
Hill, who carried the bill,
said his legislation
Jerry Hill would aid children and
teenagers with severe
medical disabilities.
The bill was inspired in part by a South
San Francisco teenager in his district who
would have up to 50 seizures a day before he
fy its schools.
Cheng, a Lowell graduate, couldn’t
believe that was fair or even legal. But when
he turned to Asian-American civil rights
groups, they were of no help.
“These organizations, which all came of
age largely as the ‘yellow’ affiliates of the
NAACP and civil rights establishment, they
said, ‘Hey there’s nothing to see here,’”
Cheng said.
So he helped form a legal foundation and
sued.
Race-based affirmative action has long
polarized Asian-Americans, with critics
feeling demonized and advocates chagrined
by the attention to what they call minority-
within-minority views.
Now, critics of the policy sense an open-
got a medical marijuana prescription, Hill’s
office said. In Santa Rosa, California, a
court has allowed a 5-year-old girl to take
cannabis oil with her to kindergarten to
treat her rare form of epilepsy, The Press
Democrat reported . The judge’s order is tem-
porary as he weighs a final ruling.
The school district tried to prohibit the
child from bringing her medicine to school,
which the family argued was a violation of
protections for disabled students, according
to the newspaper.

The U.S. Department of Justice is backing
a 2014 lawsuit against Harvard University
by Asian-American applicants, who say the
Ivy League college unlawfully suppresses
the number of Asians admitted. The DOJ
also said last year it would investigate a
May 2015 complaint filed against Harvard
by a coalition of Asian-American groups.
The 2014 lawsuit, led by conservative
strategist Ed Blum, is being closely watched
as it goes to trial in October. It could wind
up before a more conservative U.S. Supreme
Court that only narrowly affirmed the use of
race in school admissions in a case that

McCain’s last words: Americans have ’more in common’

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
PHOENIX — Sen. John McCain
expressed his deep gratitude and love
of country in his final letter and
implored Americans to put aside
“tribal rivalries” and focus on what
unites.
Rick Davis, former presidential
campaign manager for McCain who
is serving as a family spokesman,
read the farewell message Monday at
a press briefing in Phoenix.
In the statement, McCain reflected
on the privilege of serving his coun-
try and said he tried to do so honor-
ably. He also touched on today’s pol-
itics.
“Do not despair of our present dif-
ficulties but believe always in the
promise and greatness of America,
because nothing is inevitable here,”
McCain wrote. “Americans never
quit. We never surrender. We never
hide from history. We make history.”
McCain died Saturday from an
aggressive form of brain cancer.
Plans taking shape called for McCain
to lie in state Wednesday in the
Arizona State Capitol on what would
have been his 82nd birthday. A funer-
al will be conducted Thursday at
North Phoenix Baptist Church with
former Vice President Joe Biden
speaking.
In Washington, McCain will lie in
state Friday in the Capitol Rotunda
with a formal ceremony and time for
the public to pay respects. On
Saturday, a procession will pass the
Vietnam Veterans Memorial and
arrive for a funeral at Washington
National Cathedral. Former
Presidents George W. Bush and
Barack Obama are expected to speak
at the service.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch
McConnell paid tribute to John
McCain on Monday by recalling
their own legislative battles while
echoing the late senator’s belief that
there’s more that unites than divides
Americans.
Speaking from the Senate floor,
McConnell says that while McCain
served the state of Arizona in
Congress, “he was America’s hero all
along.”
He spoke near McCain’s desk in
the Senate, which has been draped in
black and adorned with white roses in
his honor.
McConnell and McCain tangled
over several issues, including

McConnell says serving with

A private funeral is planned for
Sunday afternoon at the Naval

Academy Chapel followed by a pri-
vate burial at the academy cemetery.
President Donald Trump was not
expected to attend any of the servic-
es.
McCain was a noted critic of
Trump, and Trump’s response to
McCain’s death has been closely
watched.
The flag atop the White House flew
at half-staff over the weekend in
recognition of McCain’s death but
was raised Monday and then lowered
again amid criticism.
Trump said Monday afternoon that
he respects the senator’s “service to
our country” and signed a proclama-
tion to fly the U.S. flag at half-staff
until his burial.
When asked about Trump’s
response to McCain’s death after the
flag was raised Monday, Davis said
that the family is focusing on the
outpouring of support from around
the world instead of “what one per-
son has done or said.”
“The entire focus of the McCain
family is on John McCain,” Davis
said. “There really is no room in the
McCain family today to focus on
anything but him.”
In Arizona, high-profile cam-
paigns announced that they have sus-
pended some activity this week.
McCain was just one of 11 U.S.
senators in the state’s 116-year his-
tory, and on Tuesday, primary voters
will decide the nominees in races
across all levels of government.
There’s also the sensitive question of
who will succeed McCain.

Trump tersely recognizes McCain, lowers flag

By Catherine Lucey
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Glowering in public
and near-silent for two days, President
Donald Trump relented under pressure
Monday by tersely recognizing Sen. John
McCain’s “service to our country” and re-
lowering the White House flag.
While much of the nation remembered
McCain’s record as a war hero, longtime
senator and presidential nominee over the
weekend, Trump had nursed his grievances.
McCain had been an infuriating foil in a
long-running feud over style and policy that
did not end with the senator’s illness and
death.
Trump’s reluctance to participate in the
national remembrance was awkward and
uncomfortable, even by
the standards of a leader
who acknowledges he
doesn’t act like a typical
president. The episode
highlighted the outsider
president’s impulse to
harbor personal resent-
ments regardless of
Donald Trump political repercussions.
Before Trump’s
Monday afternoon statement, his only
commentary on McCain’s death had been a
perfunctory tweet Saturday. The lack of a
formal statement — combined with the fact
that White House flags were flown at half-
staff only briefly — drew strong criticism
from Republicans and veterans’ groups as
well as Democrats.
When he finally did comment, in a print-
ed statement, Trump was sparing with his
praise for the six-term senator: “Despite our
differences on policy and politics, I respect
Senator John McCain’s service to our coun-
try.”
Later, at an evening dinner honoring
evangelical leaders, he said “our hearts and
prayers” are going to the family “and we
very much appreciate everything that
Senator McCain has done for our country.”
Earlier in the day, a stone-faced Trump sat
mute as reporters at several photo sessions
invited him to comment on McCain. As he
was peppered with questions about
McCain’s legacy, the usually talkative pres-
ident made no response.
Publicly, Trump has frequently railed
against McCain’s dramatic thumbs-down
vote against the president’s efforts to repeal
President Barack Obama’s health care law.
Privately, he has groused about such slights
as his belief that McCain did not appreciate
his endorsement in the senator’s 2016 re-
election bid. McCain, for his part, recently
slammed Trump’s Helsinki meeting with
Russian President Vladimir Putin as “one of
the most disgraceful performances by an
American president in memory.”
Against that backdrop, the flag above the
White House spoke volumes.
The Stars and Stripes were briefly lowered
to half-staff over the weekend, then went
back up to full height Monday while flags at
the U.S. Capitol and elsewhere stayed at
half-staff. Shortly before Trump issued his
written statement, the flag was lowered
again to half-staff.

Trump, Cohen lawyers stumbling on facts
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — They’re the ultimate insid-
ers, but the lawyers speaking publicly on
behalf of President Donald Trump and his
longtime “fixer”-turned-foe Michael Cohen
have been fumbling the facts of late.
Cohen’s lawyer, Lanny Davis, spent
recent days walking back his bombshell
assertions that his client could tell the spe-
cial counsel that Trump had prior knowledge
of a meeting with a Russian lawyer to get
damaging information on Hillary Clinton.
“I should have been much clearer that I
could not confirm the story,” Davis said
Monday, attempting to clean up his com-
ments in interviews last week after Cohen
pleaded guilty to campaign finance viola-
tions, tax evasion and bank fraud.
Trump’s lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, caused a
stir last week when he told The Washington
Post that Trump had sought his advice on
the possibility of granting a pardon to for-
mer campaign chairman Paul Manafort. He
said the discussion happened before
Manafort’s conviction last week on tax and
Kushner Cos. fined $210K by
New York for false documents
NEW YORK — The Kushner family real
estate company has been fined $210,000 by
New York City regulators following an
Associated Press investigation that showed
it routinely filed false documents with the
city claiming it had no rent-regulated ten-
ants in its buildings when it, in fact, had
hundreds.
The city buildings department on Monday
fined the Kushner Cos. for filing 42 false
applications for construction work on more
NATION
bank fraud charges.
Giuliani told the Post
that he counseled against
the move at least until
the end of special counsel
Robert Mueller’s investi-
gation — but Fox News
later reported that
Giuliani said that Trump
Lanny Davis had not broached the idea
of a pardon for Manafort
specifically.
The apparent contradiction added to con-
fusion about the president’s plans and
underscored how the two loudest voices
speaking on the Russia probe were, in many
ways, unreliable narrators.
Federal ethics rules frown on lawyers
making comments intended to prejudice a
jury or engaging in fraud or dishonesty, but
legal ethics expert Steven Lubet said there’s
no boundary crossed by an inaccurate public
statement.
“This is, I think, what I think some of the
ethics opinions would call mere puffery, and
typically that is not subject to discipline,”
than a dozen buildings
when presidential adviser
Jared Kushner ran the
business.
The false documents
allowed the company to
escape extra scrutiny dur-
ing construction that
watchdog group Housing
Jared Kushner Rights Initiative has said
led to harassment of low-
paying, rent-regulated tenants to get them
to leave.
The Kushner Cos. did not immediately
respond to a request for comment.
said Lubet, of
Northwestern University
law school.
“In the age of 24/7
news, it’s a hopeless
quest to expect people to
know what they’re talk-
ing about,” Lubet added,
jokingly.
Rudy Giuliani Davis told The
Washington Post over
the weekend that he “could not independent-
ly confirm” the claims he made on televi-
sion last week that Cohen witnessed
Trump’s eldest son, Donald Trump Jr. ,
telling his father about the Trump Tower
meeting beforehand.
“I take responsibility for not communi-
cating more clearly my uncertainty,” Davis
told The Associated Press on Monday. “I
regret the error.”
Davis also is hedging suggestions he
made on television last week that Cohen
could tell special prosecutor Robert Mueller
about whether Trump was aware of and
encouraged Russian hacking during the
Tuesday • Aug 28, 2018 7
2016 campaign before it became publicly
known.
After suggesting to CNN last Wednesday
that “Cohen was an observer and was a wit-
ness to Mr. Trump’s awareness of those
emails before they were dropped,” Cohen
told the Post, “there’s a possibility that is
the case. But I am not sure.”
The prospect of Cohen telling Mueller
that Trump knew in advance about the June
2016 meeting has hung over the Russia
probe since CNN, citing anonymous
sources, reported last month that Cohen was
willing to share the information.
Davis told the AP at the time that the basic
substance of the CNN report was correct and
told CNN last Wednesday that Cohen “was
present during a discussion with junior and
dad” pertaining to the Trump Tower meet-
ing.
Davis, citing a lack of independent verifi-
cation, apologized to the AP on Monday. “I
express my regrets that I could not confirm
what I told you,” he said.
Giuliani also has misspoken about the
Trump Tower meeting.

Shooting suspect had history of mental illness

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BALTIMORE — The suspect in a deadly
shooting at a Florida video game tournament
had previously been hospitalized for mental
illness, according to court records in his home
state of Maryland reviewed by The Associated
Press.
Divorce filings from the parents of 24-year-
old David Katz of Baltimore say that as an ado-
lescent he was twice hospitalized in psychi-
atric facilities and was prescribed antipsy-
chotic and antidepressant medications.
The records show Katz’s parents disagreed
on how to care for their troubled son, with his
father claiming his estranged wife was exag-
gerating symptoms of mental illness as part
of their long and bitter custody battle. The
couple divorced in 2007.
Katz opened fire Sunday
at a gaming bar inside a
collection of restaurants
and shops in
Jacksonville. He killed
two people and wounded
10 others before fatally
shooting himself during
the “Madden NFL 19”
tournament, authorities
David Katz
said.
Jacksonville Sheriff Mike Williams has
declined to comment on the gunman’s motive.
The suspect’s father, Richard Katz of
Baltimore, and his mother, Elizabeth Katz of
Columbia, Maryland, did not respond to
phone messages Sunday or Monday. Efforts
by the AP to reach them at their homes were
also unsuccessful.
The Howard County, Maryland, divorce fil-
ings say that David Katz played video games
obsessively as a young adolescent, often
refusing to go to school or to bathe. Elizabeth
Katz, a toxicologist at the Department of
Agriculture, said she confiscated some of her
son’s gaming equipment after finding him
playing in the wee hours.
At one point, she put his gaming con-
trollers in her bedroom behind a locked door
and he punched a hole in the door, she said.
Elizabeth Katz said her youngest son had
increasing difficulty concentrating following
his parents’ split. A judge awarded custody of
the boy to his mother, with visitation rights
to the father.
At times David “curled up into a ball,”
refused to attend school and sobbed, she said.
She asserted that her ex-husband instructed
David not to take Risperidal — an anti-psy-
chotic medication prescribed to him. The
father claimed in court filings that David was
not “diagnosed as psychotic.”
He missed large stretches of school while
under his mother’s supervision. He was admit-
ted to the nearby Sheppard Pratt mental health
system for about 12 days in late 2007. Court
documents say a psychiatrist at that time
administered antidepressants. He later spent
about 13 days at Potomac Ridge, a mental
health services facility in Rockville.
Richard Katz, a NASA engineer, said his ex-
wife had “an obsession with using mental
health professionals and in particular psychi-
atric drugs to perform the work that parents
should naturally do.” He said she routinely
gave false information to mental health care
providers.

Nation’s top student loan official resigns

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — The government’s top official overseeing the
$1.5 trillion student loan market resigned in protest on
Monday, citing what he says is the White House’s open hostili-
ty toward protecting the nation’s millions of student loan bor-
rowers.
Seth Frotman will be stepping down as student loan ombuds-
man at the end of the week, according to his resignation letter,
which was obtained by the Associated Press. He held that posi-
tion since 2016, but has been with Consumer Financial
Protection Bureau since its inception in 2011.
Frotman is the latest high-level departure from the CFPB
since Mick Mulvaney, President Donald Trump’s budget direc-
tor, took over in late November. But Frotman’s departure is
especially noteworthy, since his non-partisan office is one of
the few parts of the U.S. government that was tasked with han-
dling student loan issues.
The office was at the center of the lawsuits against for-profit
colleges like Corinthian Colleges and is currently heading up a
lawsuit between the CFPB and Navient, one of the nation’s
largest student lenders. The Navient lawsuit has been mired in
bureaucratic red tape as the Department of Education, headed by
Betsy DeVos, has been unwilling to help the CFPB with their
lawsuit . Since its creation, the student loan office has returned
$750 million to harmed borrowers.
“You have used the bureau to serve the wishes of the most pow-
erful financial companies in America,” Frotman wrote, address-
ing his letter to Mulvaney. “The damage you have done to the
bureau betrays these families and sacrifices the financial futures
of millions of Americans in communities across the country.”
Congress created the student loan ombudsman office when it
established the CFPB, citing a need for a go-to person to handle
student loan complaints nationwide. One previous occupant of
that position is Rohit Chopra , who was appointed by President
Trump to be a commissioner at the Federal Trade Commission.
The ombudsman’s office is quite powerful, able to work with
the bureau’s enforcement staff to target bad behavior in the stu-
dent loan market as well as act as a voice inside the government
on behalf of student loan borrowers. The office processed tens of
thousands of complaints from student loan borrowers and was
among the first major government offices to raise alarms about
the growing issue of students being unable to afford repaying
their loans.
But despite its work, Mulvaney downgraded the mission of
Frotman’s student loan office earlier this summer and moved it
under the umbrella of consumer education instead of enforce-
ment. While at the time Mulvaney’s office said it was a minor
organizational shake-up, consumer advocates saw the change as
a move to downplay the CFPB’s mission when it came to student
loans.
The student loan office is not alone. Under Mulvaney, the
bureau has scaled back its enforcement work and has proposed
revising or rescinding all of the rules and regulations it put into
place under the Obama administration.
“Seth Frotman is a public servant who treated every student
loan complaint with the seriousness it deserved,” said Debbie
Goldstein, executive vice president at the Center for
Responsible Lending. “His departure raises concerns about the
priorities of Mulvaney and CFPB leadership and whether they
are fulfilling the mission of the CFPB to focus on protecting
consumers from financial abuse.”

EPA, coal and the planet
USA Today
T
he Trump administration is
committed to saving coal,
when what it really needs to do
is save the planet.
The Environmental Protection
Agency recently took another great
leap backward, proposing new rules
that are supposed to control heat-trap-
ping greenhouse gas pollution but are
really aimed at furthering the produc-
tion and burning of coal.
Power plants generate more than a
quarter of the 6 billion tons of carbon
dioxide America pumps into the
atmosphere each year. And this sum-
mer, scorching California wildfires
from tinder-dry conditions, along
with record-breaking heat waves and
flooding around the world, have been
vivid testament to the extreme weath-
er that global warming makes more
likely.
With the new rules proposed
Tuesday, EPA would junk the Obama
administration’s Clean Power Plan,

A better idea would be a market-
based carbon tax, with revenue rebat-
ed to consumers. But the Clean Power
Plan was a next-best alternative.
The Trump plan would allow each
state to choose how, or even whether,
to set standards for coal-fired power
plants. Pollution control upgrades
would be reduced.
Efficient coal burning would be
encouraged, a move that could boost
coal consumption, generating even
more pollution. In addition to more
carbon dioxide emissions, increases
in microscopic airborne particulates
could cause as many as 1,400 prema-
ture deaths each year.
The Trump administration claims its
plan would cut greenhouse gas emis-

Make America
Dinner Again
O
f the many things we take for granted and under-
estimate, the power in our capacity to listen to
another without judgment or reservation is
among the greatest. This is in large part because of the
incredibly loud noise we create to crowd out the unwanted
voices of others. This is especially true in the current
political climate. From our smartphones and tablets to
television and headphones, we have used technology to
drown out noise from our counterparts inhabiting the
world around us.
We choose to read the news headlines we agree with
rather than those that challenge our narrow way of think-
ing. We prefer news media that
appeals to our respective ide-
ologies rather than opening
our minds to different perspec-
tives. This noise inevitably
makes it impossible to hear
and understand others around
us. History tells us that we are
merely repeating a bad habit —
human indifference on a global
scale.
I have never been more con-
vinced that our society’s
inability to listen to the con- Jonathan Madison
cerns of others is the root
cause of many of the issues we face today. Of the many
organizations that share my concern, I am pleased at
least one in the Bay Area has activated a network cen-
tered around opportunities to freely exchange ideas and
perspectives. Following the 2016 presidential election
and its turbulent political climate, Bay Area natives
Justine Lee and Tria Chang co-founded Make America
Dinner Again (MADA) — an organization that creates
safe forums for people of various political beliefs to
share thoughts and opinions. These conversations often
take place over a dinner. The objective of the dialogue is
to break the divisive lines of age, culture, socioeconom-
ic status, religion, anger, bitterness and pain within our
community.
Two weeks ago, I was invited to participate in one of
the dinners hosted by MADA. I was pleased to witness
Republicans, Democrats, Libertarians and the like con-
verse over the single most divisive subjects: immigra-
tion reform, affirmative action in education and race rela-
tions in America. Each participant shared very different
values, creeds, religious and cultural beliefs. Beyond
that, I was surprised at the openness and willingness
among every participant to take heed to the ideas of oth-
ers, even if they did not agree with those perspectives.
The forum reminded each of us that, at our core, human
beings share far more in common than differences. As
dinner ended, we concluded that the very few political
and cultural differences are often amplified by news
media and other forums, which causes many to uncon-
sciously feel that there are more differences than similar-
ities among us.
Time and again, humanity has failed to truly grasp the
power in valuing another’s voice, cry and story.
Consider the countless wars that were fought merely
because human beings could not reconcile listening to
the concerns of their counterparts or constituents. The
French Revolution was born out of a constituency that
felt voiceless to the ear of its leader, King Louis XIV.
After ignoring the cries of rising inflation, pervasive
disease and inescapable poverty, King Louis XIV and his
regime were violently overthrown by their unheard con-
stituents in the single bloodiest revolution in history,
amounting in the death of more than 40,000 people.
Consider a massacre that claimed the lives of almost 1
million people within 100 days — the Rwandan geno-
cide. For four grueling months, hundreds were extermi-
nated every day because other nations would not heed the
cries of Rwandan citizens until the number of deaths
reached unprecedented levels.
For additional examples, look no further than
Bangladesh, East Timor and Cambodia in the 1970s;
Guatemala in the 1980s; Bosnia in the 1990s; and most
recently in Sudan. In each instance, thousands, (and in
some cases hundreds of thousands), of individuals were
exterminated in large part because other nations failed
and in some cases, refused to listen to their cries.
My takeaway from the dinner boils down to one simple
fact: no matter how vast our differences, the more we
take the initiative to listen to others, the more we realize
that in large part, we are all the same. This requires a
belief that, together, vastly different individuals can
unite here in the Bay Area, our nation and the world.

Stocks rise amid US and Mexico trade deal

By Marley Jay
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Stocks posted
solid gains on Monday after the
White House said it reached a pre-
liminary agreement with Mexico on
replacing NAFTA. The Nasdaq com-
posite index topped 8,000 for the
first time.
The trade deal is far from final and
few details were made public during
trading hours Monday, but
investors were encouraged that the
countries are working toward a reso-
lution.
The U.S. still needs to reach an
understanding with Canada, the
third party in the accord and the sec-
ond-largest trading partner for the
U.S. Canada’s NAFTA negotiator,
Foreign Minister Chrystia
Freeland, is scheduled to fly to
Washington Tuesday to try to restart
talks.
Automakers, which would stand
to benefit from warmer trade rela-
tions between the U.S. and Mexico,
rose sharply. Major exporters
including chemical and industrial
companies rose, and so did banks
and technology companies.
“Most of this year has been a
series of potentially negative
events on trade, setting up barriers
to trade,” said Craig Birk, chief
investment officer for Personal
Capital. “The market is welcoming
anything that’s the opposite.”
Birk said investors were glad to
get some good news on trade even

ment will likely continue beyond

Toyota to invest Taiwan electronics giant to partner

with University of Wisconsin for $100M
$500M in Uber
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS the Arizona street.
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MADISON, Wis. — Foxconn Technology

DETROIT — Toyota will sink a half-billion
dollars into Uber and work jointly with the
ride-hailing giant to develop self-driving
vehicles, a person briefed on the matter said
Monday.
The deal is a sign that Uber no longer wants
to go it alone in creating an autonomous driv-
ing system since one of its test vehicles struck
and killed a pedestrian on a darkened street in
Tempe, Arizona, earlier this year.
The deal also will help both the Japanese
automaker and Uber spread out the cost of
designing and building the complex systems,
which use computers, cameras, radar and laser
sensors to guide the self-driving vehicles. And
it will help them compete against rivals
General Motors and Google’s Waymo, which
experts say are leading the autonomous-vehi-
cle race.
Self-driving vehicles are important to Uber
to reduce the cost of carrying passengers. If it
fails, rivals with self-driving cars could offer
rides at a lower cost.
Further details of the deal were not avail-
able, and the person briefed on the matter
declined to be identified because an official
release hasn’t been issued. The deal was report-
ed earlier Monday by The Wall Street Journal.
Uber has been doing a safety evaluation of
its autonomous vehicle program ever since
the March 18 crash that killed 49-year-old
Elaine Herzberg as she walked a bicycle across
Navigant Research analyst Sam Abuelsamid
suspects that Toyota, which has taken a more
cautious approach to autonomous-vehicle
development, will take control of the program
from Uber. Toyota would benefit from Uber’s
technology, because the ride-hailing compa-
ny was working quickly on the system and
may have been ahead of Toyota, Abuelsamid
said.
Uber, he said, almost had to take on a part-
ner after the crash. “It’s going to be tough for
them to build consumer trust in whatever it is
they’re developing. I think that people will
have a lot more trust in Toyota to do this the
right way, to take due care and make sure
everything is properly tested and evaluated,”
Abuelsamid said.
In the Arizona crash, authorities determined
that the vehicle’s sensors spotted the woman
but its automatic-braking function had been
disabled in favor of a human backup driver.
Tempe police said the driver was distracted and
streaming a television show before the crash.
Uber has since pulled its self-driving cars
out of Arizona, costing 300 jobs, and sus-
pended testing in other cities. In July, Uber
took a step toward relaunching autonomous
vehicle testing in Pittsburgh streets. The com-
pany said it put a handful of vehicles back on
the road with some safety modifications to the
cars and driver training. But for now, the cars
won’t be free of human control or respond to
ride-hailing calls.
Group announced Monday that it will invest
$100 million in engineering and innovation
research at the University of Wisconsin-
Madison, making it one of the largest gifts in
the school’s history that comes as the Taiwan-
based electronics giant builds a factory in
southeastern Wisconsin that would be the
company’s first of its kind in North America.
Foxconn CEO Terry Gou and UW-Madison
Chancellor Rebecca Blank signed an agree-
ment that also calls for the creation of a sci-
ence and technology institute on the UW-
Madison campus that will collaborate closely
with the display screen manufacturing plant,
which is being built in Mount Pleasant, about
100 miles (160 kilometers) southeast of
Madison near the Illinois border.
Foxconn, the world’s leading electronics
manufacturer, chose Wisconsin for its first
plant outside of Asia after receiving generous
incentives from the state. Foxconn says the
manufacturing campus could cost up to $10
billion and eventually employ 13,000 people.
The deal announced Monday would provide a

Business in brief
Google’s search tool to
help job-seeking veterans
SAN DIEGO — A new Google search tool
will allow service members transitioning to
civilian life to include their military occu-
pational specialty code to find jobs that
match their skills.
The tool announced Monday is part of the
tech giant’s “Grow with Google” initiative
aimed at helping Americans get jobs or
from the state’s largest university to the
Foxconn plant.
The Foxconn Institute for Research in
Science and Technology, to be created under
the agreements, will be a hub for technologi-
cal innovation and provide an environment
for research and development initiatives in
medical science, materials science, computer
and data-driven science.
The institute’s main location will be at the
Foxconn manufacturing campus in Racine
County, but it will also have a presence in
Madison.
The university said the agreements formal-
ize its commitment to being a part of research
with Foxconn, while Foxconn will assist with
research, recruiting and creating job opportu-
nities.
To receive the $100 million from Foxconn,
the university will have to raise an equal
amount over the next two years as part of a
sub-campaign of its $3.2 billion All Ways
Forward fundraising effort. The bulk of
Foxconn’s $100 million, which Blank said
was the largest industry research partnership
in university history, will go toward con-
structing a new building on the engineering
campus.
grow their businesses. The program also is
offering transitioning service members,
and their spouses, computer training.
In addition, when users are searching for a
place on Android or iOS mobile device or in
Google Maps and open a business listing, a
“veteran-led” designation will let people
know which businesses are owned and run
by veterans.
The initiatives are part of Google’s plans
to spend $1 billion on nonprofit organiza-
tions helping to raise education levels
around the world.

Oakland’s other ‘KD’in rarefied air

KELLEY L COX/USA TODAY SPORTS
Khris Davis is one of two ‘KDs’ to star in Oakland, the other
being neighboring Warriors forward Kevin Durant.
By Janie McCauley
THE ASSCIATED PRESS
OAKLAND — Khris Davis has become
known as Oakland’s other superstar
“KD.”
The A’s slugger is having a special sea-
son right next door to where Kevin
Durant led the Golden State Warriors to a
second straight NBA championship two Kevin Durant
months ago.
Davis is on such a home run streak, he has considered the
idea he might hit 50.
It’s right within reach at the pace he’s on after two straight
40-homer years in his first two seasons with the A’s.
“It’s been on my mind for a little while,” Davis said. “It’s
just another number, another benchmark.”
Yet he is far from concerned with his individual total —
because that will mean little if he doesn’t help Oakland end
a three-year postseason drought following last-place fin-
ishes in the AL West each of the past three years.
Davis leads the majors with 39 home runs and ranks sec-
ond in RBIs with 103 behind Boston’s J.D. Martinez.

Elco’s Hail Mary hero

Athlete of the Week
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Church was open at the house that Eric

Jacobson built.
And it was Jonas Junio who led the con-
gregation in prayer.
“It was wild,” Junio said.
The “church” — Colt Field, the venue where
Jacobson, now an assistant coach at El
Camino, worked indefatigably for years to
have light standards installed at his alma mater
EC’s football stadium, a labor of love that at
last came to be to start the 2017 season.
The “congregation” — the legions of
scarlet-clad Colts fans packing the north
bleachers for last Friday’s 2018 non-league
football opener.
And the “prayer” — the greatest finish in
modern El Camino football history — a 41-
yard Hail Mary reception hauled in by the
Daily Journal Athlete of the Week, Jonas
Junio, on the final play of the game to pull
off a miraculous 20-19 win over San Mateo.
“I was taken away by a mob of my team-
mates,” Junio said of the celebration. “It
was pretty cool.”
Just as cool was it was the first game under
the team’s new head coach, the hero’s uncle,
Archie Junio. No stranger to El Camino,
“Arch” has coached at the school since
1999, wearing plenty of different hats over
the years, including varsity football assis-
tant coach, junior-varsity football head
coach, and both boys’ varsity basketball
and girls’ varsity basketball head coach.
One of Archie Junio’s first acts at the var-
sity football reins was to shake things up at
the quarterback position. Last season, Jonas
Junio reluctantly inherited the QB job. And
with no one champing at the bit to take it
from him down the stretch of a disappoint-
ing 2017 season, it looked as though the
natural running back might ride out the
remainder of his varsity career playing out
of position.
Then came the arrival of Noel Valdez, who
emerged as a junior-varsity freshman quar-
terback last season. Valdez didn’t really

Newest Raider thrown right into action

ALAMEDA — Dominique Rodgers-
Cromartie waited the entire offseason and
most of August for the right opportunity
to sign with an NFL team.
Then almost as soon as he did, he was
thrown right into the action. Rodgers-
Cromartie signed with the Oakland
Raiders last Thursday as a late addition
providing depth in the secondary and was
immediately put on the field for nine
snaps the following night in an exhibi-
tion game against Green Bay.
“That was a big surprise to me, ”
Rodgers-Cromartie said Monday. “But it
felt good to be out there and run around
and get back into the game.”
Rodgers-Cromartie had been waiting for
that chance ever since getting cut by the
New York Giants in March. He talked with
several teams and visited four but didn’t
sign a deal until the Raiders called last
week.
The market wasn’t strong for a 32-year-
old who lost his starting job last year and
was suspended for one game by the Giants
for an unexcused absence.
“You just have to wait,” he said. “‘It’s
frustrating because I still feel I have abil-
ity to go and be out there. It’s frustrating.
But you have to understand. Being an
older guy, teams are looking to go
younger. You just have to wait.”

SAN FRANCISCO — The best
game of Chris Stratton’s career got
off to a shaky start when the San
Francisco pitcher allowed hits to
his first two batters and fell behind
in the count 3-0 to the third.

Stratton and Corbin (10-5) had
nearly identical outings, the dif-
ference being Duggar’s homer in

Stratton permitted five hits,
struck out six and allowed only
two runners past first base. He
walked none and retired 17 of his
final 18 batters to win for the first
time since June 17.

said. “I just want the team to win all

young. That’s the reason why we
play is to win the ballgame, not
necessarily to do good for ourselves
but for the team.
Melvin has credited Davis for
becoming a more all-around hitter,
not just clobbering home runs.
Davis received a $10.5 million,
one-year contract during the offsea-
son, more than doubling his salary
after he beat the team in arbitration
the previous winter.
He hit a career-best 43 home runs
in 2017, connecting on the season’s

he set the previous year for Oakland.
The 30-year-old Davis needs one

His teammates can’t always
believe what they’re seeing from
Davis, which is why they’re push-
ing for his inclusion in MVP talks.
“He’s a joke. He hits balls that
left-handed pull hitters don’t hit to
right field, ” pitcher Brett
Anderson said. “The ball comes
off his bat different than pretty
much everyone I’ve ever seen. He
should definitely be in the equa-

“The first inning, that was the

After 16 seasons, TENNIS
Ginobili bows out
By Tim Reynolds
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Manu Ginobili has played his final game, and with that a
new era awaits the San Antonio Spurs.
Ginobili announced his decision to retire Monday, the 41-
year-old wrapping up what he called a “fabulous journey” in
which he helped the Spurs win four NBA championships in
16 seasons with the club.
The smooth left-handed guard from Argentina came to San
Antonio in 2002, forming what quickly
became a powerful “Big 3” alongside Tim
Duncan and Tony Parker. Now, they’ve all
moved on: Duncan retired two years ago,
Parker left San Antonio earlier this sum-
mer as a free agent to sign with the
Charlotte Hornets, and Ginobili has worn
Spurs colors for the last time as well.
“Today, with a wide range of feelings,
I’m announcing my retirement from bas-
Manu Ginobili
ketball,” Ginobili wrote on Twitter in
making the announcement. “IMMENSE GRATITUDE to
everyone (family, friends, teammates, coaches, staff, fans)
involved in my life in the last 23 years. It’s been a fabulous
journey. Way beyond my wildest dreams.”
The image Ginobili chose to accompany that tweet: a
photo of him walking off the floor, away from the camera,
with four fingers aloft — signifying his four titles.
“An NBA champion and All-Star, Manu Ginobili is also a
pioneer who helped globalize the NBA, ” NBA
Commissioner Adam Silver said. “He is one of basketball’s
greatest ambassadors who believes in the power of sports to
change lives. And for 16 years, we were fortunate to watch a
legend compete at the highest level. Thank you, Manu, for a
career that inspired millions of people around the world.”
Ginobili’s pro career lasted 23 seasons in all, starting
with stints in Italy and Argentina. His drawing power was
massive even in his final season, and it was common for
him to spend plenty of time before road games posing for
photos and signing autographs — often international fans
proudly displaying an Argentine flag.
“A role model for all of us that love this wonderful sport,”
Spurs forward Pau Gasol said.
Duncan, Parker, Ginobili and Kawhi Leonard were the
backbone of San Antonio’s drive to its most recent NBA
championship in 2014, and this will be the first time that
Gregg Popovich begins a season as the Spurs’ head coach
with none of those players on the roster. Leonard was traded
to the Toronto Raptors for DeMar DeRozan earlier this sum-
mer, the end of a relationship in San Antonio that had appar-
ently gone too sour to save.

She also offered up an explanation

said Halep, who was coming off con-

Montreal. “I’m a quiet person, so
maybe I like the smaller places.”
Her departure means she can’t stand in
the way of Serena Williams, who could
have faced Halep in the fourth round.

because she gave birth on Sept. 1,

Oakland coach Jon Gruden said
Monday that the trade means
Dwayne Harris will start the season
as Oakland’s kick and punt return-
er. Switzer became expendable
after falling behind other receivers
on Oakland’s depth chart. He’ll get
a chance for a fresh start in
Pittsburgh and could be on the field
when the Steelers finish up the pre-
season against Carolina Thursday.
“He’s a duel return man, a slot
receiver of note,” Steelers coach
Mike Tomlin said of Switzer, who
grew up in Charleston, West
Virginia, about four hours south of
Pittsburgh. “He’s a guy we evaluat-
ed prior to the (2017) draft ... We’ll
put him in the mix with these guys
and hopefully get him ready to go.”
The Seattle defense that fans
came to know with Richard
Sherman, Kam Chancellor,
Michael Bennett and Cliff Avril is
no more. All those players are
gone for various reasons — trade,
injury — and with the return of Ken
Norton Jr. as defensive coordina-
tor, the Seahawks were expected to
be centered even more around
Wright and fellow linebacker
Bobby Wagner this season.
That still may be the case, but
Wright’s absence could affect some
of what Seattle wants to do defen-
sively because of his ability to stay
on the field as an excellent pass

LOS ANGELES — Chip Kelly is

first quarterback at UCLA.
He has also identified six play-

his anticipated
debut leading

Saturday.

Tagaloa, tight
end Devin
Chip Kelly
Asiasi, running
back Soso Jamabo, defensive
lineman Osa Odighizuwa, defen-
sive back Mo Osling and defen-
sive lineman Moses Robinson-
Carr will not play against
Cincinnati because of unspecified
violations of athletic department
policies.
Tagaloa and Asiasi are each sus-
pended for the first three games of
the season. Jamabo will also miss
the game at No. 7 Oklahoma next
week.
“We got to move on, and they
understand what the punishment is
and they have got to hopefully
learn from it,” Kelly said Monday.
“It’s a teachable point for them to
understand how their actions can
impact other things.”
Offensive tackle Andre James
said Kelly’s push to make
accountability a staple of his pro-
gram is reflected in the decision to
announce the suspensions.
“What happened, that’s between
Coach and those guys. They know
Tuesday • Aug 28, 2018 15
what they did, but we’re just step-
ping up as a group and I think
everyone is doing a great job,”
James said.
Kelly also released his first
depth chart, which revealed the
former Oregon and NFL coach has
narrowed the six-man quarterback
competition to redshirt sopho-
more Devon Modster, Michigan
graduate transfer Wilton Speight
and freshman Dorian Thompson-
Robinson.
Kelly said “those three kids
have really distanced themselves”
from redshirt sophomore Matt
Lynch, redshirt freshman Austin
Burton and freshman walk-on
Josiah Norwood, but he was still
not ready to name a starter.
“It’s not a set day that ‘this is
this,”’ Kelly said. “But we’re not
fair to the other guys if we just
say, ‘All right, we’re going to
pick a guy today, then let’s pick
him.’ The one thing that’s good is
there has been a really good
healthy competition, and the
three of those guys have really
done some impressive things. I
want to make sure we’re thorough
in our evaluation.”
Modster is the only quarterback
on the roster who has started a
game at UCLA, making two starts
last season when Josh Rosen was
injured and showing the ability to
make plays as a passer and runner.
Speight, who made 16 starts in
three seasons with the
Wolverines, is more of a proto-
typical pocket passer in line with
the quarterbacks Kelly had during
his three seasons with the
Philadelphia Eagles.

Mind-altering breast milk? New pot study poses question
By Lindsey Tanner
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHICAGO — Marijuana’s main mind-
altering ingredient was detected in nursing
mothers’ breast milk in a small study that
comes amid evidence that more U.S. women
are using pot during pregnancy and after-
ward.
Experts say the ingredient, THC, has
chemical properties that could allow it to
disrupt brain development and potentially
cause harm, although solid evidence of that
is lacking.
The new study involved 50 nursing moth-
ers who were using pot and provided breast
milk samples to researchers at the
University of California, San Diego. Lab
testing found small amounts of THC, the
psychoactive chemical that causes marijua-
na’s “high,” in 34 of 54 samples up to six
days after they were provided. Another form
of THC and cannabidiol, a pot chemical
touted by some as a health aid, were detected
in five samples.
The study authors said “it is reasonable to
speculate” that exposing infants to THC or
cannabidiol “could influence normal brain
development,” depending on dose and tim-
ing.
The results echo findings in case reports
from years ago, when pot was less potent
than what’s available today, said study co-
author Christina Chambers, a pediatrics
professor. It’s not known if the amounts
detected pose any risk, but she said her
research team is studying children whose
moms’ were involved to try to answer that
question.
Two small studies from the 1980s had
conflicting results on whether pot use
affects breastfed infants. One found no evi-
dence of growth delays; the other found
Congo: Two who received experimental Ebola treatment recover
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
KINSHASA, Congo — Congo’s health
ministry says two of the first 10 people to
receive an experimental treatment for the
Ebola virus in the latest outbreak have
recovered, and monitoring could show what
role the treatment played.
The head of the World Health Organization
on Saturday congratulated Congo’s govern-
ment for making several experimental treat-
ments available in this Ebola outbreak,
calling it “a global first, and a ray of hope
for people with the disease.”

infants, but their mothers had used pot dur-
ing pregnancy too.
Most pediatricians encourage breastfeed-
ing and its health benefits for infants, but
“they’re stuck with a dilemma” with infants
whose mothers use pot, Chambers said.
A new American Academy of Pediatrics
report recommending against pot use while
pregnant or nursing acknowledges that
challenge.
“We still support women breastfeeding
even if using marijuana but would encourage
them to cut down and quit,” said Dr. Seth
Ammerman, a report co-author and Stanford
University pediatrics professor.
“In counseling patients about this, it’s
important to be nonjudgmental but to edu-
cate patients about the potential risks and
benefits,” Ammerman said, to ensure “a

The study and report were published
Monday in the journal Pediatrics .
The American College of Obstetricians
and Gynecologists has similar advice.
The academy report says its advice is
based on theoretical risks to developing
brains, but it acknowledges conflicting evi-
dence and a dearth of research. Some studies
have linked pot use during pregnancy with
lower birth weights or preterm birth, along
with developmental delays and learning dif-
ficulties in older children. But additional
factors including women’s use of other
drugs during pregnancy complicated the
results, the report says.

As more states legalize marijuana, its use
is increasing along with the “false impres-
sion” that it is safe, the academy’s report
says. Ammerman said caution makes sense,
given the uncertainties.
According to U.S. government data, about
1 in 20 women report using marijuana dur-
ing pregnancy. Estimates for use among
breastfeeding mothers vary, but a study in
Colorado, where recreational marijuana is
legal, put the number at almost 20 percent
among women in a government supplemen-
tal food program.
The report, study and a journal editorial
all said more research is needed.
Last year, a federal advisory panel said
lack of scientific information about mari-
juana poses a public health risk.
Research has been hampered by federal
government restrictions based on its view
that marijuana is an illegal drug.
That has contributed to a stigma and shad-
ed doctors’ views, said Keira Sumimoto, an
Irvine, California, mother who used mari-
juana briefly for medical reasons while
pregnant and breastfeeding. She said smok-
ing a joint daily helped her gain weight
when she was sick before learning she was
pregnant, and eased childbirth-related pain,
but that she quit because of backlash from
marijuana opponents.
She said her daughter, now 8 months old,
is healthy and advanced for her age.
Sumimoto runs cannabisandmotherhood ,
an Instagram account that she says aims to
present truthful information about marijua-
na so women can make their own choices.
She said she agrees with advice to be cau-
tious, but that the academy’s stance is “is
just a little too much.”
“The fear is taking over and the need and

percent of cases, depending on the strain.
This is Congo’s tenth outbreak of the virus
and the first in North Kivu province, which
aside from the resident population hosts an

fighting.
The affected region in this outbreak,
which includes Ituri province to the north,
borders Uganda, Rwanda and South Sudan.

Aspirin disappoints for avoiding first heart attack, stroke
By Marilynn Marchione
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Taking a low-dose aspirin every day has
long been known to cut the chances of anoth-
er heart attack, stroke or other heart problem
in people who already have had one, but the
risks aren’t worth it for most folks, major new
research finds.
Although it’s been used for more than a cen-
tury, aspirin’s value in many situations is still
unclear. The latest studies are some of the
largest and longest to test this pennies-a-day
blood thinner in people who don’t yet have
heart disease or a blood vessel-related prob-
lem.
One found that aspirin did not help prevent
first strokes or heart attacks in people at mod-
erate risk for one because they had several
health threats such as smoking, high blood
pressure or high cholesterol.
Another tested aspirin in people with dia-
betes, who are more likely to develop or die
from heart problems, and found that the mod-
est benefit it gave was offset by a greater risk
of serious bleeding.
Aspirin did not help prevent cancer as had
been hoped.
And fish oil supplements, also tested in the
study of people with diabetes, failed to help.
“There’s been a lot of uncertainty among
doctors around the world about prescribing
aspirin” beyond those for whom it’s now rec-
ommended, said one study leader, Dr. Jane
Armitage of the University of Oxford in
England. “If you’re healthy, it’s probably not
worth taking it.”
The research was discussed Sunday at the
European Society of Cardiology meeting in
Munich. The aspirin studies used 100 mil-
ligrams a day, more than the 81-milligram
pills commonly sold in the United States but
still considered low dose. Adult strength is
325 milligrams.

Aspirin has been known for cutting chances of a second heart attack or stroke, but a new study
shows it may not have any effect on preventing and initial event.
WHO’S REALLY AT RISK?
A Boston-led study gave aspirin or dummy
pills to 12,546 people who were thought to
have a moderate risk of suffering a heart
attack or stroke within a decade because of
other health issues.
After five years, 4 percent of each group
had suffered a heart problem — far fewer
than expected, suggesting these people
were actually at low risk, not moderate.
Other medicines they were taking to lower
blood pressure and cholesterol may have cut
their heart risk so much that aspirin had lit-
tle chance of helping more, said the study
leader, Dr. J. Michael Gaziano of Brigham
and Women’s Hospital.
market.
“Patients and their doctors have been
nervous about using drugs to treat obesity
and for good reason. There’s a history of
these drugs having serious complications,”
said study leader Dr. Erin Bohula of Brigham
and Women’s Hospital in Boston.
With this study, Belviq has been convinc-
ingly shown safe for the heart, she said.
Although Belviq did not raise heart risks,
it didn’t lower them either, as many had
hoped it would. The weight loss it produced
was fairly modest — after 40 months,
Belviq users had shed 9 pounds (4 kilo-

One percent of aspirin takers had stomach
or intestinal bleeding, mostly mild— twice
as many as those on dummy pills. Aspirin
users also had more nosebleeds, indiges-
tion, reflux or belly pain.
Bayer sponsored the study, and many
researchers consult for the aspirin maker.
Results were published by the journal
Lancet.
ASPIRIN FOR PEOPLE WITH DIABETES?
People with diabetes have a higher risk of
heart problems and strokes from a blood
clot, but also a higher risk of bleeding.
Guidelines vary on which of them should
consider aspirin.
Oxford researchers randomly assigned
grams), twice as much as those on dummy
pills.
It may be that weight loss alone is not
enough to lower heart risks, or that there
needs to be more to do that, some doctors
said.
Results were discussed Sunday at a
European Society of Cardiology meeting in
Munich and published by the New England
Journal of Medicine. Belviq’s maker, Eisai
Inc., sponsored the study and many of the
researchers consult or work for the compa-
ny.
Worldwide, 13 percent of adults are obese
and 39 percent are overweight, raising their
risk for a host of health problems. Diet and
exercise are the first steps doctors recom-
mend, but medicines also can be considered
for people with dangerously high weight
who cannot drop enough pounds by other
means.
Several popular diet medicines were previ-
ously withdrawn from sale after they were
found to raise the risk for heart valve dam-
age, suicidal thoughts or other problems,
prompting the new requirement for heart
safety studies.

otherwise in good health and with no histo-
ry of heart problems to take either aspirin,
1 gram of fish oil, both substances, or
dummy pills every day.
After seven and a half years, there were
fewer heart problems among aspirin users
but more cases of serious bleeding, so they
largely traded one risk for another.
FISH OIL RESULTS
The same study also tested omega-3 fatty
acids, the good oils found in salmon, tuna
and other fish. Supplement takers fared no
better than those given dummy capsules —
9 percent of each group suffered a heart
problem.
“We feel very confident that there doesn’t
seem to be a role for fish oil supplements
for preventing heart disease,” said study
leader Dr. Louise Bowman of the University
of Oxford.
The British Heart Foundation was the
study’s main sponsor. Bayer and Mylan
provided aspirin and fish oil, respectively.
Results were published by the New England
Journal of Medicine.
Other studies are testing different amounts
and prescription versions of fish oil, “but I
can’t tell people go spend your money on it;
we think it’s probably better to eat fish,”
said Dr. Holly Andersen, a heart disease pre-
vention specialist at New York-
Presbyterian/Weill Cornell who was not
involved in the study.
The new research doesn’t alter guidelines
on aspirin or fish oil, said Dr. Nieca
Goldberg, a cardiologist at NYU Langone
Medical Center and an American Heart
Association spokeswoman. They recom-
mend fish oil only for certain heart failure
patients and say it’s reasonable to consider

attack.

$220 to $290 a month in the United States.
Researchers tested it in a study of 12,000
people who were either obese or overweight
with heart disease risk factors such as high
blood pressure or cholesterol. They were
given Belviq or dummy pills to take twice a
day and offered lifestyle and diet advice.
At one year, 39 percent on Belviq and 17
percent on dummy pills had lost at least 5
percent of their starting weight. Several
previous studies also found the drug effec-
tive for weight loss.
After about three years, 6 percent of each
group had suffered a heart-related problem or
death.
Fewer people on Belviq developed dia-
betes — 8.5 percent versus 10.3 percent on
dummy pills.
Serious side effects were similar, but more
on Belviq stopped taking their pills because
of them — 7 percent versus 4 percent.
Common side effects included dizziness,
fatigue, headache and nausea.
Dangerously low blood sugar happened in
13 people on Belviq versus four in the other
group; all but one case involved people also
taking diabetes medicines, which lower
blood sugar.

NOTICE! You have been sued. The court
may decide against you without your be-
ing heard unless you respond within 30
days. Read the information below.
You have 30 CALENDAR DAYS after
this summons and legal papers are
served on you to file a written response
at this court and have a copy served on
the plaintiff. A letter or phone call will not
protect you. Your written response must
be in proper legal form if you want the
court to hear your case. There may be a
court form that you can use for your re-
sponse. You can find these court forms
and more information at the California
Courts Online Self-Help Center
(www.courtinfo.ca.gov/selfhelp), your
county law library, or the courthouse
nearest you. If you cannot pay the filing
fee, ask the court clerk for a fee waiver
form. If you do not file your response on
time, you may lose the case by default,
and your wages, money, and property
may be taken without further warning
from the court.
There are other legal requirements. You
may want to call an attorney right away.
If you do not know an attorney, you may
want to call an attorney referral service. If
you cannot afford an attorney, you may
be eligible for free legal services from a
nonprofit legal services program. You
can locate these nonprofit groups at the
California Legal Services Web site
(www.lawhelpcalifornia.org), the Califor-
nia Courts Online Self-Help Center
(www.courtinfo.ca.gov/selfhelp), or by
contacting your local court or county bar
association. NOTE: The court has a stat-
utory lien for waived fees and costs on

Cold, dry climate shifts linked Judges: Congress
map still unlawful
to Neanderthal disappearance with partisan bias
By Malcolm Ritter
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Ancient periods of cold and dry climate
helped our species replace Neanderthals in Europe, a study
suggests.
Researchers found that such cold periods coincided with
an apparent disappearance of our evolutionary cousins in
different parts of the continent, followed
by the appearance of our species, Homo
sapiens.
“Whether they moved or died out, we
can’t tell,” said Michael Staubwasser of
the University of Cologne in Germany.
Neanderthals once lived in Europe and
Asia but died out about 40,000 years ago,
just a few thousand years after our
Neanderthal species, Homo sapiens, arrived in
Europe. Scientists have long debated

included epidemics and the idea that the newcomers edged

Official: Fireworks, cigarettes
may have caused deadly blaze
CHICAGO — Investigators seeking the cause of
Chicago’s deadliest fire in well over a decade were searching
the porch area where the blaze started for evidence of fire-
works, cigarettes or other smoking materials, a fire official
said Monday.
Fire department spokesman Larry Langford said children

out the Neanderthals for resources.
Staubwasser and colleagues reported their findings
Monday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of
Sciences. They drew on existing climate, archaeological
and ecological data and added new indicators of ancient cli-
mate from studies of two caves in Romania.
Their study highlighted two cold and dry periods. One
began about 44,000 years ago and lasted about 1,000 years.
The other began about 40,800 years ago and lasted six cen-
turies. The timing of those events matches the periods when
artifacts from Neanderthals disappear and signs of H. sapi-
ens appear in sites within the Danube River valley and in
France, they noted.
The climate shifts would have replaced forest with shrub-
filled grassland, and H. sapiens may have been better adapt-
ed to that new environment than the Neanderthals were, so
they could move in after Neanderthals disappeared, the
researchers wrote.
Katerina Harvati, a Neanderthal expert at the University
of Tuebingen in Germany who wasn’t involved in the study,
said it’s helpful to have the new climate data from south-
eastern Europe, a region that H. sapiens is thought to have
used to spread through the continent.
had been known to have set off fireworks from the porch of
the Southwest Side apartment that caught fire before dawn
on Sunday, killing six children and two adults and leaving a
boy and a man in “very” critical condition. People had also
used the spot to smoke cigarettes, he said.
Although investigators haven’t determined what caused
the fire, they don’t think it was deliberately set and they
have ruled out any problems with the building’s electrical
wiring, Langford said. He also it quickly became clear that
the lack of any working smoke detectors turned the fire dead-
ly.

By Gary D. Robertson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
RALEIGH, N.C. — Federal judges on Monday affirmed
their earlier decision striking North Carolina’s congres-
sional districts as unconstitutional because Republicans
drew them with excessive partisanship.
Acting under an order of the U.S. Supreme Court to re-
examine the case, the three-judge panel ruled again in favor
of election advocacy groups and Democrats who had sued to
challenge the boundaries drawn in 2016.
The Greensboro-based court also raised the possibility of
directing the GOP-dominated legislature to redraw the maps
by mid-September so they could be in effect for the fall elec-
tions, or getting an outside expert to do so. The printing of
ballots has been delayed while other fall election matters are
in court.
“In such circumstances, we decline to rule out the possi-
bility that the state should be enjoined from conducting any
further congressional elections using the 2016 plan,” U.S.
Circuit Judge Jim Wynn wrote in the majority opinion. He
asked lawyers in the case to weigh in by Friday about what
should happen next.
Any decision demanding new maps for this cycle likely
would risk confusion among voters and be appealed by the
Republican legislative leaders being sued.
May primaries were held, and general election candidates
are raising money and campaigning in the current districts
while approaching a midterm election in which control of
the House is at stake. Even the plaintiffs, in their news
releases praising the ruling, said they anticipated the
Supreme Court would hear appeals during its session start-
ing in October, meaning any new maps probably wouldn’t
be used until the 2020 cycle.
The groups and individuals that sued alleged GOP map-
makers manipulated the lines of the state’s 13 districts in
2016 using political data to ensure Republicans retained a
10-3 majority within the delegation.
The same judges in January deemed the map an illegal par-
tisan gerrymander that violated constitutional protections
of Democratic voters. But the Supreme Court, which had
ruled against plaintiffs in a redistricting case in Wisconsin,
asked them to take a second look in June.

Timeline questioned in allegations against Pope

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
VATICAN CITY — The archbish-
op of Washington on Monday “cat-
egorically denied” ever being
informed that his predecessor had
been sanctioned for sexual miscon-
duct, undercutting a key element of a
bombshell allegation that Pope
Francis covered up clergy abuse.
Cardinal Donald Wuerl issued a
statement after the Vatican’s former
ambassador to the United States
accused Pope Francis of effectively
freeing ex-Cardinal Theodore
McCarrick from the sanctions in
2013 despite knowing of
McCarrick’s sexual predations
against seminarians.
Wuerl’s denial corresponds with
the public record, which provides
ample evidence that McCarrick
lived a life completely devoid of
ecclesiastic restriction after the
sanctions were said to have been
imposed in 2009 or 2010. That sug-
gests that Pope Benedict XVI either
didn’t impose sanctions or never
conveyed them in any official way
to the people who could enforce
them — or that McCarrick simply
flouted them and Benedict’s Vatican
was unwilling or unable to stop
him.
The claims of the former Vatican
ambassador, Archbishop Carlo
Maria Vigano, have thrown Francis’
papacy into crisis, undermining
once again his insistence that he is
intent on ridding the church of sex
abuse and cover-up.
His record has taken several hits
of late, including his extraordinary
misjudgment involving a Chilean
bishop, for which he has apolo-
gized and taken measures to address.
The core of Vigano’s cover-up
charge against Francis rests on what

sanctions, if any, Benedict imposed
on McCarrick and what if anything
Francis did to alter them, when
armed with the same knowledge of
REUTERS
McCarrick’s misdeeds that Benedict
had.
Vigano, who was Vatican ambas-
sador from 2011-2016, said he had
been told that Benedict imposed
sanctions on McCarrick starting in
2009 or 2010, after a decade’s worth
of allegations of misconduct
involving adult seminarians had
reached the Vatican.
By that time, two New Jersey dio-
ceses had settled complaints of sex-
ual harassment and misconduct
against McCarrick lodged by two
former seminarians. It was appar-
ently common knowledge that
McCarrick would invite seminari-
ans to his New Jersey beach house,
and into his bed.
“The cardinal was to leave the
seminary where he was living, he
was forbidden to celebrate Mass in
public, to participate in public
meetings, to give lectures, to travel,
with the obligation of dedicating
himself to a life of prayer and
penance,” Vigano wrote of the
Benedict sanctions.

Russians tried hacking Orthodox clergy Around the world

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LONDON — The Russian hackers indicted
by the U.S. special prosecutor last month
have spent years trying to steal the private
correspondence of some of the world’s most
senior Orthodox Christian figures, The
Associated Press has found, illustrating the
high stakes as Kiev and Moscow wrestle over
the religious future of Ukraine.
The targets included top aides to Ecumenical
Patriarch Bartholomew I, who often is
described as the first among equals of the
world’s Eastern Orthodox Christian leaders.
The Istanbul-based patriarch is currently
mulling whether to accept a Ukrainian bid to
tear that country’s church from its association
with Russia, a potential split fueled by the
armed conflict between Ukrainian military
forces and Russia-backed separatists in east-
ern Ukraine.
The AP’s evidence comes from a hit list of
4,700 email addresses supplied last year by
Secureworks, a subsidiary of Dell
Technologies.
The AP has been mining the data for
months, uncovering how a group of Russian
hackers widely known as Fancy Bear tried to
break into the emails of U.S. Democrats ,
defense contractors , intelligence workers ,
international journalists and even American
military wives . In July, as part of special
counsel Robert Mueller’s ongoing investiga-
tion into Russian interference in the 2016
U.S. election, a U.S. grand jury identified 12
Russian intelligence agents as being behind
the group’s hack-and-leak assault against
Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign.
The targeting of high-profile religious fig-
ures demonstrates the wide net cast by the
cyberspies.
Patriarch Bartholomew claims the exclu-
sive right to grant a “Tomos of Autocephaly,”
or full ecclesiastic independence, sought by
the Ukrainians. It would be a momentous step,
splitting the world’s largest Eastern Orthodox
denomination and severely eroding the power
and prestige of the Moscow Patriarchate,
which has positioned itself as a leading play-
er within the global Orthodox community.
Ukraine is lobbying hard for a religious
divorce from Russia and some observers say
the issue could be decided as soon as next
month.
Iran says it signed deal to
help rebuild Syria’s military
BEIRUT — Iran’s defense minister says his
country has signed a deal with Syria to rebuild
the Syrian armed forces that have been battered
by years of war.
Amir Hatami told the Beirut-based al-
Mayadeen TV station in an interview aired
Monday that the agreement is to also develop
Syria’s military industry.
Iran has been an essential backer of Syria’s
government in the civil war now in its seventh
year, providing advisers, military supplies,
training and thousands of militiamen to fight
alongside the Syrian army.
Israel has been critical of Iran’s expanding
role in Syria, saying it won’t tolerate an Iranian
permanent military presence near its frontiers.
