IN SPLIT WITH PRESIDENT, SEN. SCHUMER OPPOSESIRAN DEAL

By Christopher S. Rugaber

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON — A new era of higher rates on home and carloans, steeper borrowing costs forbusinesses and the government —maybe even a bit more return forsavers — is about to arrive.

That, at least, is the word frommost economists. After anothersolid U.S. jobs report Friday, theysay the Federal Reserve seems allbut sure to raise its short-terminterest rate next month after

keeping it pinned near zero fornearly seven years.

It would be the Fed’s first ratehike since 2006. And it would end

the aggressivecampaign thecentral bankbegan after the2008 financialcrisis to save ateetering bank-ing system and

energize an ailing economy.While it could take months, theFed’s moves should eventuallydrive up interest rates for mort-gages, auto loans and other con-sumer and business bo rrowing.

Responsible for reviewing all juveni le-i nv ol ved po li ce cases,Sharp said the six-month programtargets non-violent first-timeoffenders or school-recommendedstudents whose lives can changefor the better through counseling,education and community service.

“Kids still need consequences,but I didn’t want it t o be just a con -sequence, I wanted it to be anopportunity to really teach themsome skills to make better deci-sions,” Sharp said. “Also, we

know once kids start gettingentered into the juvenile justicesystem, the likelihood they’llcontinue increases. … Not only in

the juvenile justice system, butalso int o the adult justice syst em.”

Jasmine Diaz, a 13-year-oldBorel Middle Schoo l s tudent, grad-uated from the program last yearand not only avoided a criminalrecord for shoplifting, but estab-lished life skills as well.

An idea rooted in spreading religious tol-

erance and understanding after the terroristattacks of Sept. 11, 2001, has spread andgrown into a large organization made up of clergy and congregants that seeks to spreadthe i dea of faith -based service and communi-cation.

The Peninsula Multifaith Coalition had175 volunteers for its first Multifaith Dayof Service on Martin Luther King Day in2012. This year, the same event drew 506who together completed 27 service projectsat 11 different v enues.

The Multifaith Day of Service’s success i snot s tandalone. It is one of the many well-attended community service and educationalevents the coalition designs and hosts totraverse both cultural and religious bound-aries.

“We want the organization to teach us allabout our different faiths, while realizingthat o ur values are very much th e same,” saidthe Rev. Kristi Denham, coalition co-founder and pastor of the CongregationalChurch of Belmont. “I know my own faithand the faith of th e teens I work with, in deedall of us, grow in o ur faith when we realize itchallenges us to do more and be more, tolive up to our values.”

The organization is a coalition of 19 dif-ferent faith houses, representing all five of the major faiths — Hinduism, Judaism,Buddhism, Christianity and Islam.

Although the Peninsula MultifaithCoalition is not the only example of aninterfaith organization on the Peninsula, toDick Heiman, a member of the coalition’sfounding group and a member of its Steering

Committee, it is unique in that it is led by a

combination of laymen and clergy.“I’ve been involved with interfaith activ-

ities around the Bay Area, and I really don’tknow of any other interfaith organizationswith this many faith houses that is a combi-nation of lay and clergy led,” Heiman said.“The Peninsula Multifaith Coalition reallyreaches out to involve a lo t of their lay con-gregants.”

Ineko Tsuchida, a member of the coali-tion’s Steering Committee and programdirector at the Shinnyo-en Foundation,believes it is the coalition’s emphasis oncreating a diverse community that sets theorganization apart from others.

“As far as I kn ow, t he PMC is v ery mind-ful of creating a diverse membership o f faith

groups,” Tsuchida said. “Their outreacheffort has focused on goin g beyo nd familiaror known congregations, and reaching out-side of their friendship circles.”

Although not formally founded until2012, the coalition has roots in Denham’sefforts to spread religious tolerance andunderstanding after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. To Heiman, this goal of emphasizing similarities between reli-gions, rather than differences, is achievedthrough the coalition’s various events —including a joint service for Iftar, theMuslim breaking of the fast duringRamadan.

“At the Iftar service, I was struck by howthe value of welcoming your neighbor wasso simil ar in the presentations b y [membersof different faiths in the community],”

Heiman said. “At our annual Song Fest this

year, too, it was interesting how musicbrought us together, whether it wasJapanese Buddhist Taiko drumming, thesinging of a Jewish cantorial soloist, or a

church choi r.”Denham also not ed that the diverse offer-

ing of events make understanding a differentreligion not only more accessible, but evenfun.

“I was especially moved by the teens atthe Shinnyo-en Buddhist Temple inRedwood City who shared how meditationdemanded a great deal from them in terms of time and focus,” s he said. “They tol d us th attheir faith was strengthened by the disci-pline.”

In fact, it was after participating in allthree days of service, Denham said, that agroup of teens was motivated to form theirown interfaith coalition, the Teen InterfaithLeadership Council of San Mateo County,which meets monthly throughout theschool year.

To Denham, i t is this emphasis on coop-eration and appreciation of various culturesand traditions that enables the PeninsulaMultifaith Coalition to continue to attractnew members and spread their messageacross t he Bay Area.

“This organization is committed toincluding everybody at the table,” she said.“We’re respectful of everyone’s traditions,and we want t o learn ab out everyone’s tradi-tion s. We’re learning from each oth er, and I

just l ove i t. ”

He received a Marine Corps letter of commendation for his service there. Uponreturn from Korea, Ted married fe llow Stanford student and the love of his life Polly Hoover Taylor,daughter of Paul and Evelyn Hoover, in 1953 at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church. Polly and Ted lived on

base at Camp LeJeune, North Carolina while he completed his tour. After his military service, theymoved to upstate NY where Ted joined General Electric Corporation’s training program. One yearlater, Ted and Polly returned to California where Ted was offered a position at Eitel McCulloughin San Bruno and ultimately settled into a long and decorated engineering and management careerat Litton Industries where he served in roles from strategic acquisitions to VP of marketing.

Foster said he woke up Friday and checkedthe California Department of Forestry andFire Protection website and found goodnews.

“Sure enough in nice red letters (it) said

road closures would be lifted,” he said. “Sofar it’s been very o rderly.”

And there was more go od news.The one cat that was left at his home

because she “panicked” is still hiding.“Once the other cats come home, she’llcome out,” he said.

But even as he basked in the joy of being

home, he said he was already preparing forthe next time.

“I’m unpacking today and I didn’t see whywe packed chicken gravy,” he said. “Nexttime maybe we’ll have a nice box that’sready to go that’s a little more appropriate. ”

Some 12,200 people were ordered oradvised to evacuate as t he wildfire that st art-ed July 29 chewed through n early 109 squaremiles of dry brush burning about 100 milesnorth of San Francisco.

Joe Welz was among them and returnedhome Friday morning after authorities gavehim the go-ahead.

“We didn’t burn. Sprin g Valley is com-pletely OK. Everything’s fine here,” hesaid, referring to the small community inLake County.

“The parties have reached a confidentialsettlement on mutually agreeable terms,”said Gretchen Nelson, a lawyer represent-ing the Ch inese p arents o f Ye Meng Yuan,16. Nelson declined to say if the familyfiled other lawsuits against the airline orBoeing, which manufactured the plane.

The city attorney’s office said no moneywas paid to the family to dismiss their law-suit.

“We’re grateful for a dismissal that willspare everyone involved the addedheartache and costs of liti gation, which webelieved from the beginning to be withoutlegal merit,”city attorney Dennis Herrerasaid.

Herrera said the “heroic efforts” of SanFrancisco firefight ers and pol ice saved hun-dreds of lives after Asiana Flight 214clipped a seawall on approach to SanFrancisco and burst into flames on the run-way on July 6, 2013. Rescuers pulled fivepassengers from the burning plane thattook off from Seoul with 291 passengersand 16 crew members aboard.

CENTENNIAL, Colo. —Colorado theater shooter JamesHolmes will be sentenced to li fe in

prison without parole after a juryfailed to agree Friday on whetherhe should get the death penalt y forhis murderous attack on a packedmovie p remiere.

The nine women and three mensaid they could not reach a unani-mous verdict on each of the murdercounts.

That automatically eliminatesthe death penalty for the failedneuroscientist, who blamed hiscalculated killings of 12 peopleon mental illness.

Prosecutors argued Holmesdeserved to die because he method-ically planned the 2012 assault ata midnight screening of a Batmanmovie, even blasting techno

music throughear phones so hewouldn’t hearhis victimsscream. Seventypeople were

injured in theattack.

The verdictcame as a sur-prise. The same

jury rejec ted Holmes’ in san it ydefense, finding him capable of understanding right from wrongwhen he carried out the attack. Italso quickly determined theheinousness of Holmes’ crimesoutweighed his mental illness in aprior step that brought them clos-er to the death penalty.

As it was read, Holmes’ motherArlene, who had pleaded for jurorsto spare her son’s life, leaned herhead against her husband’s shoul-der and began sobbing. Tears

broke out across the courtroom. Inthe back, Aurora police officerswho responded to the bloodyscene of Holmes’ attacks begancrying.

Sandy Phillips, whose daughter

Jessica Ghawi was killed byHolmes, shook her head no andthen held it in her hands.

Ashley Moser, whose 6-year-olddaughter died in the attack and whowas herself paralyzed by Holmes’bullets, also shook her head andthen slowly leaned it against thewheelchair of another paralyzedvictim, Caleb Medley.

Families of victims began toleave the courtroom as JudgeCarlos Samour Jr. continued read-ing the verdict. Their wails wereaudible through the closed court-room doors.

As in previous proceedings,Holmes himself showed no reac-tion.

WASHINGTON — Eager for abreak from Washin gton , PresidentBarack Obama is returning to hissummer vacation spot of choice,the Massachusetts island of Martha’s Vineyard, a day earlierthan originally planned for morethan two weeks of hoped-for restcoupled with extended pursuit of his favorite leisure sport: golf.

Obama apparently was so anx-ious to join the hordes of lawmak-

ers, lobbyists and others who turn

W a s h i n g t o ninto a politicalghost townevery Augustthat he movedup his departureby a day. He wasleaving theWhite House onFriday after-noon with his

wife, Michelle, and teenage daugh-ters Malia and Sasha, ins tead of onSaturday as initially planned.

Obama plans no public events

during the 17 days he will spend on

the island situated south of CapeCod and known as a summer hang-out for the wealthy. The vacationwill be his sixth on the Vineyardsince taking office in 2009. Obamaskipped a trip to the island duringhis 20 12 re-election campaign.

He was returning to the samesecluded estate he rented last year,a seven-bedroom, nine-bathroomproperty in Chilmark, on thewestern part o f the isl and, and val-ued at $12 million, according tolocal news reports. The property’samenities i nclude a dual bask etball

ATLANTA — As Carly Fiorinastoo d at the back o f a packed hot elballroom Friday to give a televi-

sion i nterview, a gaggl e of conser-vative activists watched, chatteredand snapped pictures as if s he werea Hollywood celebrity.

Minutes later, more than 1,000people at the annual political con-fab RedState Gathering stood androared as the former Hewlett-Packard chief executive took thestage and delivered an impas-sioned speech on the virtues of conservatism.

“Well, I don’t know. I think wekind of rumbled last night. Whatdo you think?” Fiorin a said. “I hada lot of fun last night.”

The night might turn out to be

the one thatchanges herplace in the2016 race forpresident.

A day after astrong perform-ance in the pre-debate debatefor those rele-gated to second-

tier status by Fox News’ assess-ment of the national polls,Fiorina was reveling in ravereviews for her aggressiveapproach.

In her first campaign stop since,the admitted lon gsho t candidate —she has never held public office —embraced the prospect of newmomentum for her underfundedcampaign.

Fiorina looking to capitalize onundercard debate performance


BARRINGTON, N.H. — The rau-cous field of Republican presiden-tial candidates hustled back beforevoters Friday, hoping to build onmomentum from their first meetingof the 2016 campaign, clean up anydebate-night messes or just get

back to work persuading voters.Jeb Bush, among the rivals

scrambling for notice in a cam-paign dominated at the moment byDonald Trump, played down theimportance of Trump’s perform-ance, which drew a mix of cheersand jeers during the freewheeling120 minutes Thursday night.

“I had fun last night,” the formerFlorida governor said during a NewHampshire event that drew morethan 300. “I really enjoyed gettingto k now Donald Trump up close andpersonal.”

Bush bounded back on the cam-paign trail Friday in the format he

prefers, an open-ended question-answer forum — not the 10-waydebate, which he called “not easy.”

With billionaire businessmanTrump showing no signs of lettingup, and none of the other 16 majorRepublicans in the race ready toconcede anything after just onedebate, the contest for theRepublican nomination is an unset-tled affair that’s just getting st arted.

“Party donors, party leaders needto take a deep breath, put down thesharp objects, step away from thewindow,” Louisiana Gov. BobbyJindal said at the RedStateGathering o f conservative activistsin Atlanta. “The voters will decide

who our nominee is. They’ll decidewho the president is. ”And the voters seem to be lo ving

the show.Thursday night’s debate wasn’t

just the most-watched p rogram inthe histo ry of Fox News Channel, i tdrew more than twice as many vi ewsas the previous record-setter — the2012 election night.

Undoubtedly, the reason for therecord ratings was Trump.

He was back on TV Friday morn-ing, telling the morning talk showshe couldn’t recall insulting womenin the past — rejecting the premiseof a debate question posed by FoxNews’ Megyn Kelly.

After raucous debate, GOP’s rowdy 2016 field is back at work“Party donors, party leaders need to take

a deep breath, put down the sharp objects, stepaway from the window. ... The voters will decide whoour nominee is. They’ll decide who the president is.”

WASHINGTON — Sen. Chuck Schumer, a

New York Democrat expected to be theparty’s next leader in the Senate, said hewill oppose the Iran nuclear deal in spite of President Barack Obama’s intense lobby-ing in favor of the accord.

The deal, struck last month with Tehranand Western powers, would curb Iran’snuclear program in exchange for billionsof dollars in relief from crippling sanc-tions.

“The very real risk t hat Iran will not mod-erate and will, i nst ead, use the agreement topursue its nefarious goals is too great,”Schumer said in opp osing the pact. He saidhe based his decision on the nuclear andnon-nuclear elements of the accord and onthe question, “Are we better off with theagreement or without it?”

A leading Jewish Democrat, Schumer wasthe first senator of Obama’s party to stepforward to oppose the deal. His announce-ment Thursday night came just hours after

two other Senate Democrats — New York’sKirsten Gillibrand and New Hampshire’sJeanne Shaheen — announced their supportfor the international accord.

“After deep study, careful thought andconsi derable soul-searching , I have decidedI must oppose the agreement and will voteyes on a motio n of disapproval,” he said ina statement i ssued weeks before he will casta vote.

Schumer’s decision was a blow to theadministration, though it remained to beseen how many other Democratic lawmak-ers would follow th e New York senato r. Heinformed the White House of his decisionThursday afternoon. New York Rep. EliotEngel, who is Jewish and the top Democraton the House Foreign Affairs Committee,

said in a statement that he too wouldoppose the deal.

Schumer’s spli t with Obama was remark-able for a senior leader in line to replaceSenate Min ority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev.,after he retires at the end of next year. Hisdecision also put him at odds with the

Democrats’ likely presidential nominee,Hillary Rodham Clinton, who has cautious-ly embraced the deal.

The Senate’s No. 2 Democrat, DickDurbin o f Illinois, supports the accord andhas b een working hard to persuade lawmak-ers to do the same.

In split with Obama, Sen.Schumer opposes Iran deal


BEIRUT — The n uclear deal with Iran waswidely expected to affect other Middle Eastissues, and that may already be happeningwith Syria: A series of recent diplomaticmaneuvers suggest a growing willingnessto at least engage with the Iranian-backedgovernment o f Bashar Assad on ways to end

the country’s civ il war.The embattled leader seems no more

inclined to step aside now than he did fouryears ago, and any agreement still looks tobe far off — but the search seems to be onfor an elegant solution that might, forexample, allow him a transitional role. Inpart, it is also driven by the new leadershipteam in Saudi Arabia, which emerged with

the accession to the throne of King Salmanin January.

Another factor is the emergence andspread of the violent and fanatical IslamicState group as the most potent oppositionto Assad, far more so than the relativelymoderate rebels who won a measure of worldsupport after the conflict began four yearsago. Despite his government’s brutality

and aerial bombardment that has leveledsome opposition-held areas, the 50-year-old former eye doctor no w seems, at least tosome, comparatively more palatable.

The civil war has killed at least 250,000,displaced half the population, flooded brit-tle neighboring countries with refugees andhas left jihadis occupying not only much of Syria but also perhaps a t hird of Iraq.

KABUL, Afghanistan — A suicidebomber dressed in a police uniformstruck outside the gates of a policeacademy in Kabul on Friday evening,killing at least 20 recruits and wound-

ing 25, Afghan officials said, the sec-ond massive attack of the day inAfghanistan’s capital.

The attacker walked into a group of recruits waiting outside the academyand detonated his explosives-ladenvest, said a poli ce officer, who go es bythe name of Mabibullha. ManyAfghans use only one name.

Another police officer, who spokeon condition of anonymity b ecause hewas not authorized to talk to reporters,said there were also at least 25 wound-ed among the recruits. Nobody claimedresponsibility for the attack.

Earlier in the day, a massive truckbomb killed at least 15 people near a

government complex and a militarybase in a residential area of Kabul. Thatblast hit at 1 a.m. and also wounded240, officials said. It was one of thelargest ever in Kabul — a city of 4.5million people — in terms of scale,flattening a city block and leaving a30-foot crater in the ground.

The president’s office said 47 women

and 33 chi ldren were among th e casual-ties. The president’s deputyspokesman Zafar Hashemi said about40 of th e wounded would remain h osp i-talized.

President Ashraf Ghani threatened arapid and forceful response, sayin g theattack was aimed at diverting publicattentio n from the Taliban’s leadershipstruggle but that it would not sway hisdetermination to carry on with effortsto bring peace to the country.

“We are sti ll committed to p eace. Butwe will respond to these sort of terror-ist attacks with force and power,”Ghani said in a statement.

The Afghan intelligence agency

announced over a week ago thatMullah Mohammad Omar, the reclu-sive one-eyed founder and leader of theTaliban, had been dead for more thantwo years. This sparked a leadershipstruggle among s enior Taliban fig ures,raising concerns of a succession crisisthat could splinter the group.

The implications of the Kabul

attacks undermine claims by securityservices and the government that thecapital is immune from devastatingattacks.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the earlier attack aswell. The Taliban said they were notbehind the explosion, though thegroup does not usually claim respons i-bility for attacks that kill or maimlarge numbers of civilians, especiallywomen and children.

Ghani, freshly returned from medicaltreatment in Germany, visited thewounded from the earlier morningattack in hospital as social media car-ried calls for blood donations

Iraqis protest againstgovernment corruptionBy Vivian Slama THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BAGHDAD — Thousands of Iraqis braved the scorchingsummer heat to stage a huge protest in central Baghdad onFriday, calling on the prime minister to dissolve the parlia-

ment and sack corrupt government officials.Security forces and riot pol ice sealed off Iraq’s iconic TahrirSquare and searched anyone who entered the area, b ut tens of thousands of men, women and children thronged the sprawl-ing square, waving Iraqi flags.

“In the name of religion, the thieves robbed us,” theychanted long in to the evening.

Men with the government-backed Popular MobilizationForces, the umbrella group made up predominantly of Shiitemiliti as, pulled up in trucks and handed out ice water bott les tothe protesters.

Their gesture was welcomed by roaring shouts in support of the paramilitary force now fighting the Islamic State group.The PMU was hastily assembled last year, with pre-existingmilitias and new volunteers, to reinforce the Iraqi militaryafter it crumbled in the face of the Sunni militant blitz thatseized a third of the country.

“The government is robbing the Mobilization Forces too!”the protesters cried, with many PMU fighters claiming they

weren’t receiving salaries promised to them.This is the second Friday of protests in Baghdad and acrossIraq, with people init ially calling on authorities to address thecountry’s chronic electricity problems as temperatures in thecapital soared above 1 23 Fahrenheit.

NEW YORK — U.S. stocks fellFriday after a solid jobs report keptalive the possibly that the FederalReserve may raise interest rates assoon as next month.

It was the seventh straight day of declines for the Dow Jones industrialaverage. That’s the longest losingstreak for the index since July 2011,when investors were worried that theU.S. would slip back into recession.

Stocks started the day lower after thereport was released and stayed therethroughout th e day. Fed policy makershave held rates at close to zero formore than six years to stimulate theeconomy after the Great Recession.The low rates have been good for thestock market, helping fuel a bull-mar-ket run that has lasted since March,2009.

U.S. employers added 215,000 jobsin July, the Labor Department said

Friday, another signal that the jobmarket is steadily improving and pro-viding ano ther key piece of data for theFed as it assesses whether the U.S.economy can withs tand higher interestrates.

While the number was slightlybelow the 225,000 jobs Wall Streeteconomists were forecasting, traders

said the data was still good enough toshow that the U.S. economy is contin-uing to improve.

“Today’s number was not weakenough to dissuade the Fed,” saidJurrien Timmer, director of globalmacro at Fidelity Investments, whopredicts that t he Fed will raise rates for

the first time since 2006 in September.The Dow lost 46.37 points, or 0.3

percent, to 17,373.38. The index isnow down 2. 5 percent for the year, andis about 5 percent below its recordclose of 18,312.39 s et May 19.

The Standard & Poor’s 500 index fell5.99 points, or 0.3 percent, to2,077.57 and the Nasdaq compositefell 12.90 points, or 0.3 percent, to5,043.54.

Among individual stocks, AmericanExpress was a big mover.

The credit card company jumped$4.72, or 6.3 percent, to $79.72 afterBloomberg reported that activistinvestors ValueAct CapitalManagement had amassed a $1 billionstake in the company and would pressfor changes there that would benefitinvestors.

In bond trading, yields on two- andthree-year Treasury n otes rose i mmedi-ately after the jobs report was pub-lished.

The yield on the two-year noteclimbed to 0.72 p ercent from 0.6 9 per-

cent on Thursday. It was as low as 0. 41percent in January. Shorter-datedTreasuries would be most affected bythe Fed raisin g rates.

The yield on the 10-year Treasurynote fell to 2.17 percent from 2.23percent a day earlier.

In currency trading, the dollar fell

against the euro and the yen. The eurorose to 1. 096 and the dollar dropped to124.23 yen.

In other markets, the price of oil fellfor the sixth trading day out of the lastseven as the number of rigs operatingin the U.S. rose, reinforcing expecta-tions that a global supply glut willpersist.

U.S. crude fell 79 cents to close at$43. 87 a barrel in New York, nearing asix-year low of $43.46 set on March17. For the week, crude fell 7 percent.Brent crude, a benchmark for interna-tional oils used by many U.S. refiner-ies, fell 91 cents Friday to close at$48.61 in London.

The slump in crude helped push ener-

gy stocks lower again. The sector isdown 16 percent this year, making itthe worst performer in the S&P 500.

In other energy futures trading,wholesale gasoline fell 2.5 cents toclose at $1.623 a gallon. Heating oilfell 0.6 cents to close at $1.544 a gal-lon. Natural gas fell 1.5 cents to closeat $2.798 per 1,000 cubic feet.

Stocks drop after jobs report suggests higher rate

NEW YORK — Verizon, the nation’slargest wireless provider, will stop offeringphon es at discounted prices when customerssign two-year service contracts.

The move was made in the name of sim-plification, but it could result in some cus-tomers paying more.

All wireless carriers have been trying towean customers off subsidies, in which a$649 iPhone 6 goes for $200 with a two-year contract. Instead, carriers have beenencouraging people to buy phones outrightby paying the full retail price in monthlyinst allments. A few carriers, n amely Sprint,also offer leasing options for a lowermonth ly fee, but the customer doesn’t get t okeep and resell the pho ne without additio n-al payments. Verizon is th e second national

carrier, after T-Mobile, to end subsidiesentirely for new customers.

Existing customers will be able to keepcurrent plans. Verizon says there will berestrictions, but it didn’t elaborate. For

instance, it wasn’t immediately clearwhether customers keepi ng th e current planwill sti ll qualify for subsi dized phones.

Under the new plans, which take effectAug. 1 3, p rices for voice, text and data serv-ices will drop by roughly $20 per monthcompared with subsidized plans. But cus-tomers will no longer get the subsidies onthe phone, valued at about $19 for aniPhone 6. But there are variations, so so mewill pay a bit more, others a bit less.

Verizon is also s treamlinin g its dataplans to four main options, ranging from“small” at 1 gigabyte to “x-large” at 12gigabytes, all sharable under family plans.Verizon currently has 15 options rangingfrom 0.5 gigabyte to 100 gigabytes. Two

gigabytes is plenty for most single-linecustomers, tho ugh a few hours of streamingvideo could eat that up.

Here’s a look at how the changes affectvarious customers. These monthly prices

are for unlimi ted callin g and texts and a setamount of sharable data. The phone costsextra.

INDIVIDUALS:Those with contracts paid $60 a month

for 1 gigabyte of data and $90 for 3 giga-bytes. Subtract the $19 worth of subsidieson the iPhone 6, and the monthly cost was$41 for 1 gig abyte and $71 for 3 gigabytes.

Those who were already b uying t heir ownphones paid $45 for 1 g igabyte and $75 for3 gigabytes.

Under the new plans, customers will pay$50 for 1 gi gabyt e (a price increase for bothgroups) and $65 for 3 gigabytes (a price

cut). The 2 gigabyte plan is being discon-tinued, so customers will have to choosemore or less.

COUPLES:

For two lines, couples paid $130 a monthfor 3 gigabytes and $150 for 6 gigabytesunder subsidized plans. Subtract th e value of the subsidies ($38 for two iPhones), andyou got $92 for 3 gigabytes and $112 for 6gigabytes.

Couples who bought or brought t heir ownphones paid $100 for either 3 gigabytes or6 gigabytes, thanks to steeper discountsVerizon had offered to customers whodeclined subsidies and chose larger dataplans.

Under the new plans, that couple will pay$85 for 3 gigabytes (a price cut) and $100for 6 gi gabyt es (a price decrease from subsi-dized rates, but no chang e for others).

Buffett’s company reports 37percent drop in 2Q earningsBy Josh Funk THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

OMAHA, Neb. — Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathawayreported a 37 percent drop in its second-quarter profit as thepaper value of its i nvestment s fell and its insurance compa-nies reported an underwriting loss .

Berkshire Hathaway’s net income fell to $4.01 billion, or$2, 442 per Class A share. That’s down from last year’s $6. 4bill ion , or $3, 889 p er share. Thos e results were helped by a$1.1 billion paper gain on a stock exchange deal.

Revenue grew 3 percent to $51.4 billion.The four analys ts s urveyed by FactSet exp ected Berkshire

to report operating earnings per Class A share of $2,997.14. By that measure Berkshire reported per share

profit of $2,367, down from $2,634.Buffett recommends investors pay more attention to

Berkshire’s quarterly operating earnings because theyexclude the swings in the value of investments and deriva-tives, which can v ary greatly from quarter to quarter.

Berkshire’s investment s and derivativ es added $123 mil -lion this quarter, compared to last year’s $2.06 billion. Ayear ago, Berkshire traded most of its Graham Holdingsstock for Miami-based television station WPLG, someBerkshire stock and cash.

Berkshire officials do not typically comment on theirquarterly earnings reports, and they did not immediatelyrespond to an in terview request o n Friday.

SANTA CLARA — More thanmissing one of the game’s mostmenacing pass rushers, the SanFrancisco 49ers care that AldonSmith can carry on with a healthylife off the field over the long h aul.

With or without football.

Smith received second chanceafter second chance with theNiners before they finally had

enough following his fifth run-inwith the law. The franchise partedways with the t roubled but talentedlinebacker Friday after Santa Clarapolice accused him of drunkendrivin g, hit and run and vandalism.

It’s a tough blow for a team thatwatched several other young starsdepart and retire this offseason.

“I’m just more concerned abouthim as a person,” receiver AnquanBoldin said. “Football doesn’tcome into play when it comes to a

situation like that. My wholethought is just making sure he’sOK as a person. ”

The move came only three daysafter general manager Trent Baalkeexpressed his desire to keep Smithbeyond this season, which wouldhave been a con tract year.

Instead Friday, Baalke and coachJim Tomsula met with Smith atteam headquarters after he left jailto inform him he was no longerpart of the team.

“It’s a sad day,” Tomsula said dur-ing an emotional news confer-ence. “This is a day that doesn’thave anything to do about foot-ball.”

Smith was arrested Thursdaynigh t — on a day off from trainingcamp for players — the fifth l egalrun-in since the team drafted himin 2011. Tomsula spoke to a cou-ple of players, th en the entire teamin Friday afternoon .

A 2007 graduate of Woodside, Zack Test has spent seven seasons with the USA RUgby Sevens squadand is now trying to crack the 15s national team for a spot in the rugby World Cup.

By Nathan MollatDAILY JOURNAL STAFF

The first time Zack Test made anappearance for the USA RugbySevens squad, he was in HongKong in front of 60,000 rabidrugby fanatics.

It was a memorable experiencefor Test — for all the wrong rea-sons.

“I forgot ho w to play,” Test said.He checked into the match with

about five minutes to play andalmost immediately received apass from a teammate. Test madeone cut before, in a panic, simplytossed the ball in the air.Presumably, it was a pass to ateammate. Instead, it was inter-cepted and returned for a score bythe Japanese t eam.

Welcome to the b ig t ime, ki d.Instead of getting down, Test

instead chastised himself and thengot i nto the game mentally.

“I was like, ‘Wow. This is a dif-ferent game,’” Test s aid. “But thenI made a couple tackles, made acouple runs. Once you make thatfirst contact, then it’s like, ‘I’m in(to the game mentally). Then natu-ral instincts t ake over.”

It is those natural instincts thathas Test, a 2007 graduate of Woodside High School, a risingstar for USA Rugby. At 6-3, 200pounds, Test is already one of themost decorated Americans pl ayingfor the seven-a-side squad and he isnow in the mix for the 15-a-sidenational team, with not only aWorld Cup berth, but an Olympicexperience within reach.

CHICAGO — The San Francisco Giants are ina bit of a rut. Their manager is not too concerned— yet.

Kyle Schwarber continued his offensive surgewith two hits and two RBIs to back Jon Lester,and the Chicago Cubs beat San Francisco 7-3on Friday, their eighth win in nine games.

“There’s a lot of baseball left and that’senough said,” manager Bruce Bochy said. “Thisis a tough group and we’ll find a way to come out

of this.”Schwarber, who had homered the previous

two games, scored two runs to help put the Cubs1 1-2 games ahead of San Francisco for the sec-ond wild card. They moved 12 games over .500(60-48) for the first time since the 2008 NLCentral championship season.

Schwarber’s latest outburst came after manag-er Joe Maddon juggled the lineup to keep him init.

Schwarber doubled and scored in the first,then drove in two and came around to score in

the fifth. The Cubs scored five runs in thatinning to break open a 1-1 game.

Dexter Fowler homered and had three of Chicago’s 12 hits.

Jorge Soler chipped in with a single and two-run double. Chris Coghlan added two singlesand an RBI, and Hector Rondon worked the final1 2-3 innings for his 18th save in 21 chances.

Lester (7-8) gave up two runs and six hits overseven innings. He walked two and struck outthree after finishing with a season-high 14strikeouts against Colorado last week.

Tommy Hunter gave up a leadoff homer toNori Aoki in the eighth that cut it to 6-3.Rondon came in with a runner on second andretired the final two batters before working theninth for his second save in as many games.

San Francisco’s Ryan Vogelsong (7-8) got arather quick hook fill ing in for Mike Leake, whowas placed on the 15-day disabled list Fridaybecause of a st rained left hamstring. The Giantsfell to 3-5 on a 10-game trip.

NAPA — Charles Woodson i s sh owing fewsigns of slowing down even at age 38.

While former teammate Tim Brown getsset for his Hall of Fame induction and mostof his contemporaries are long done withtheir NFL careers, Woodson is preparing forhis 18th NFL season with the enthusiasm of a much younger p layer.

Woodson did not miss a single offseason

practice for th e first time he could rememberand has been on the fieldeach day in training campas the Oakland Raiderstry to end a 12-year play-off drought that began inWoodson’s first stintwith the franchise.

“I tell these guys allthe time that when I firstcame in, practices were alot different,” he saidFriday. “You put the padson more. Guys had to

bang a lo t more and you were puttin g on thepads twice a day. Training camps are a lotdifferent these days. For me, I find it hard tocome out here and complain about practic-ing when it’s not how it used to be.”

Woodson truly did begin h is career in whatseems like a different era after being draftedfourth overall by the Raiders in 1998. Newrules are in place limiting practice time andcontact as the league has adjusted becauseconcerns about concussions and otherinjuries.

Woodson talked about th e example Brownset on how to be a professional back whenhe was a young player. The two played sixyears together and Brown has been out of the league for 10 more seasons, butWoodson keeps playing.

Now he is the respected veteran dishingout advice to young players.

Tiger Woods started the year with highhopes and a clean bill of health. RoryMcIlroy was the undisputed No. 1 player in

the world, the winner of back-to-back majorsand the overwhelming favorite to completethe career Grand Slam at the Masters andexpand his trophy case of majors.

The landscape looks so much differentgoing into t he final major.

The focus at the PGA Championship, espe-cially at Whistling Straits, starts with thetwo players who have attracted the mostattention in the majors this year — JordanSpieth because he is winning them, DustinJohnson because he is not.

They have been atop the leaderboard in 10of the 12 rounds at th e majors.

Spieth sent golf into a frenzy when twomonths after his wire-to-wire win at theMasters, he won the U.S. Open to becomeonly the fourth player since 1960 to gethalfway to the Grand Slam. That came at the

expense of Johnso n, who had a 12-foot eagleputt on th e final hole at Chambers Bay onlyto th ree-putt for par and lose by one.

Johns on loo ked like the man to beat at St.Andrews when he took a 36-hole lead only toimplode on the weekend (75-75) whileSpieth made a spirited run at a third straightmajor. Tied for the lead with two holes toplay, he finish ed one sho t out of a playoff.

So what to make of the 97th PGAChampionship when it starts Thursday on

the Pete Dye on the Wisconsin shores of Lake Michigan?

Even with his blockbuster year, the 22-year-old Spieth still feels as though he hassomething to prove.

“I’ve got a lit tle bit o f revenge that I needto get out from having control of The OpenChampionship with two holes to go and notclosing i t out,” Spieth said. “...It was a toughfeeling on the flight home.”

Even so, a return to Whistling Straitsmakes it impossible to ignore Johnson.

Beyond his sheer athleticism and the wayhe crushes th e golf ball, the indelible imagefrom the 2010 PGA Championship wasJohnson in the scoring trailer, flippingaround the penci l to erase the 5 in he made on

the final hole to presumably get into a play-off and changing it to a 7 because of a two-stroke penalty.

Whistling Straits has more bunkers thancan be counted, and they cover so much of thelinks-styled course that spectators areallowed to stand and walk — and even buildsand castles — in portions of them. John sonwas on the 18th h ole and unaware that he wasin one of those bunkers when he set his 4-iron on the stand before the shot. He was

docked two sh ots for grounding his club, andsuffered yet another close call.

Johns on is all about looking forward.“I won’t be grounding my club anywhere if

I miss the fairway, that’s for sure. I justmissed the memo where all sand is deemed abunker. There was a Gatorade bottle, a beercan, a cup. People were standing in it,” hesaid. “Generally on a golf course, peopl e arenot s tanding in a bunker.”

That particular section of the bunker isnow out of play. A viewing area has beenplaced on to p of it.

“There are over 1,00 0 bunkers on th e golf course,” said Kerry Haigh, the championsh ipdirector for the PGA of America. “I havenever counted them. I’m told that is the num-

ber, and we are planning on playing themexactly the same as the last two times. Wewill try to n otify everyone on multiple occa-sions.

“What happened in 2010 was an unfortu-nate situation which brought a lot of atten-tion,” he said. “People do remember. Ourhop e is every player and every caddie remem-bers.”

What also doesn’t change i s th e quality o f the field, the strongest among majors. It has

98 of th e top 10 0 players in t he world — andthat appears to include McIlroy.

The world No. 1 has not played since theU.S. Open because of an i njury to left ank le.McIlroy s ent anot her tweet Friday showinghim on a private jet with emoticons of theAmerican flag and a golf course. He evenretweeted his tee time Thursday with Spiethand British Open champion Zach Johnson.He still hasn’t said officially that he willplay, perhaps waiting to test his ankle overthe weekend.

The bigger question is how he will play.McIlroy has gone nearly two months with-out competition .

That goes for Woods, too. He was No. 1 inthe world in 13 of the 18 t imes he has playedthe PGA Championship and was out of thetop 10 on ly once — No. 30 i n 2011 in a sea-son marred by injuries. Now he will be at bes tNo. 271 as he tries to find his game. It’s beenan intriguing search. Woods has missed thecut in the last t wo majors, and it wasn’t evenclose.

He is coming off a tie for 18th in the

Quicken Loans National, where he went intothe weekend just three shots out of the leadbefore fading.

Spieth, meanwhile, st ill has a tiny p iece of history to chase.

The Grand Slam ended at the home of golf.Still in play is the “American Slam” — noone has ever won the th ree U.S. majors in thesame season. The PGA Championship is areminder that these chances don’t comealong very often.

PGA: Final major, a different set of stars“I’ve got a little bit of revenge that I need to get out from having

control of The Open Championship with two holes to go and not closing it out. ...It was a tough feeling on the flight home.”

KAZAN, Russia — The United States

women’s water polo team won the worldchampionship title Friday for the first timesince 2009, beating the Netherlands 5-4 inthe gold medal game.

With two goals from tournament MVPRachel Fattal and a dominant goalkeepingperformance from Ashleigh Johnson, whostopped 12 of 16 shots with ligh tning reac-tions, the win puts the U.S. in a strong po si-tion as it prepares to try to retain itsOlympic title next year.

“Our defense was nailed and it led to ouroffense,” Fattal said. “We have an amazinggoalie behind us, you can trust her com-pletely. ... It’s so much fun to play likethat.”

The U.S. has retained only four playersfrom the 2012 Olympic triumph as it bring sthrough young talent for next year’s games

in Rio de Janeiro.“This is a new team and it was my dream to

step up,” Johnson said. She made a mistakewhen allowing Miloushka Smit’s openinggoal for the Netherlands in the first quarter,and said the desire “to fix what I did wrong”fired her up for big saves later, i ncluding ona penalty shot.

Smit’s goal gave the Dutch a 1-0 lead atthe end of the first quarter, before Fattal and17-year-old Maddie Musselman respondedwith goals for the U.S. and Lieke Klaassenof the Netherlands tied up the game for half-time.

Another Fattal goal in the third was can-celed out by Maud Megens for the Dutch

before Kiley Neushul and CourtneyMathewson made it 5-3 to the U.S. TheAmericans kept it tight in the final quarter

under heavy Dutch pressure and, althoughMegens made it 5-4 with a bouncing shot,Johnson and the U.S. defense preserved thelead.

After the U.S. win quieted a Russian crowdthat strongly supported the Netherlands,head coach Adam Krikorian join ed his play-ers in the pool to celebrate.

The U.S. had started the tournament slow-ly, losing 10-9 to Italy in th e group stage,something which Krikorian s aid had provid-ed extra motivatio n.

“It gave us a big wake-up call, and eversince then, we’ve been really, really toughdefensively and that was the difference in thegame today,” he said. “We were excited,

focused and our intensity on the defensiveside of the ball was incredible.”

For the Dutch, s ilver is a goo d result in the

country’s first world championship finalsince 1 998, said goalkeeper Laura Aarts.

“When the game ends, you’re really sadbecause you lost the game, but if I look backnow I’m really proud,” she said. “We are areally young team and we did a great job.”

Earlier, Italy won the bron ze 5-4 on p enal-ties after tying 7-7 with Australia.

Arianna Garibotti scored the winningpenalty after goalkeeper Giulia Gorlero hadsaved a shot from Australia’s HannahBuckling . In regulation t ime, Tania di Marioled the Italians with three goals.

The men’s final is Saturday, as Serbi a facesCroatia for the gold medal. Greece and Italywill compete for the bronze.

Vogelsong lasted four-plus innings, allow-ing three runs and six hits. He is not sure if hewill remain in the rotation.

GIANTSBy Matt CarlsonTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHICAGO — San Francisco Giants right-hander Mike Leake was pl aced on the 1 5-daydisabled list because of a strained left ham-

string.Leake (9-6), acquired

from Cincinnati lastweek for two prospects,was scheduled to make hissecond start for theGiants on Friday againstthe Cubs. He wasscratched in favor of Ryan Vogelso ng after hishamstring tightened dur-ing routine sprints

Monday at Atlanta.Leake threw before Friday’s game to test

his leg.“We decided to go ahead and put him

on t he disabled list and give him th e full15 days to make sure he’s fully recov-ered,” Giants manager Bruce Bochysaid. “It’s not worth the risk to try to

get him ready for the n ext start.”

The Giants recalled left-hander Josh Osichfrom Triple-A Sacramento before Friday’sgame to take Leake’s rost er spot.

It’s likely that Leake will miss two starts.But Bochy said he wants the right-hander,the Giants’ lone trade deadline acquisition,fully healthy down the stretch.

Defending champion San Francisco is in atight wild-card race and entered Friday’sgame three games behind first-place LosAngeles in the NL West.

Leake lost hi s first start with the Giants atTexas on Sunday. He allowed two runs, bothon a homer by Josh Hamilton, in 6 1/3innings.

“I’d rather have him for nine completelyhealthy starts than maybe one or two wherehe’s not 100 percent,” Bochy said. “Thenyou have the risk of going ahead and start-ing him with the hamstring still lingeringthere and losing him for the rest o f the way.

“This i s the wisest move. With the way hebounces off the mound and the way he p laysthe game, he uses his legs so much.”

Giants put Leake on DL
