OBAMA DELIVERS UNVARNISHED RACE LECTUREAT EULOGY
Historic rulingBy Mark ShermanTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Same-sex couples wonthe right to marry nationwide Friday as a
divided Supreme Court handed a crowningvictory to the gay rights movement, set-ting off a jubilant cascade of long-delayedweddings in states where they h ad been for-bidden.
“No longer may this liberty be denied,”said Justice Anthon y Kennedy.
The vote was narrow — 5-4 — butKennedy’s majority opinion was clear andfirm: “The court now holds that same-sexcouples may exercise the fundamental righ tto marry.”
The ruling will put an end to same-sexmarriage bans in the 14 states that stillmaintain them, and provide an exclamationpoint for breathtaking changes in thenation’s social norms in recent years. Asrecently as last October, just over one-thirdof the states permitted gay marriages.
Kennedy’s reading of the ruling elicitedtears in th e courtroom, euphoria o utside andthe immediate issuance of marriage licensesto same-sex couples in at least eight states.In Dallas, Kenneth Denson said he andGabriel Mendez had been legally married in2013 in California but “we’re Texans; wewant to g et married in Texas. ”
In praise of th e decision , President BarackObama called it “justice that arrives like athunderbolt.”
Four of the court’s justices weren’t cheer-ing . The dissenters accused their colleaguesof usurping p ower that belo ngs to t he statesand to voters, and short-circuiting a nation-al debate about same-sex marriage.

For the first time since Gov. Jerry Browndissolved redevelopment agencies and leftcities with few tools to help support afford-able housing needs, Belmont will receivefunds from a new mixed-use developmentthat will directly assist with creating homesfor those who struggle to afford the area’shigh cost of living.
On Tuesday night, the City Councilapproved an agreement for the developer of
an El Camino Real condominium complexto pay $81 8,400 in lieu of providing below-market rate units on site.
“When [redevelopment agencies were]ripped away from us, it sort of changed theparadigm quite a bit. But this is the firstproject since at least 2011 where we’ve hadan affordable housing component,” saidCity Attorney Scott Rennie.

A former San Mateo County sheriff’sdeputy convicted of stalking his ex-girl-friend and severely beating up her newboyfriend was granted a new trial b ased onrecent evidence that the male victim beatup the girlfriend.
Prosecutors must now consider whetherto recharge Colin Troy Smith after JudgeLeland Davis ruled Friday that the new evi-dence could have impacted the jury’s deci-sion, according to District Attorney SteveWagstaffe.
“Judge Davis concluded this new evi-dence was admissi ble t o t he jury because itwould have been relevant to attack the vi c-tim’s credibility and if the jury heard it,they may have convicted differently,”Wagst affe said.
Smith, a 42-year-old San Carlos resi-dent, was convicted last November onthree felonies counts of assault causinggreat bodily injury, witness intimidationand violating a restraining order from hisalleged crimes in late 2013.
Yet since his convicti on, t he ex-girl-friend went to Redwood City police anddisclosed that her new boyfriend hadattacked her after his run-in with Smith,Wagstaffe said.
“After the trial, t he woman went int o thepolice department and reported that in
August 2014, she hadbeen beaten up by thevictim of this case — ayear after the defendanthad beaten him up. Sheshowed officers photosof the injuries of theattack, but never said aword about this previ-ously.
She said she didn’treveal it at the t ime out of concern for themale victim because she just felt he wasemotionally distraught over everything,”Wagstaffe said.
Prosecutors say that on Aug. 17, 2013,Smith drove his patrol car throughRedwood City while in uniform lookingfor his ex-gi rlfriend at bars. He eventuallysaw her with another man, prosecutorssaid.
Smith texted the woman demanding toknow if she’d had sex with the man andwarned her that “he better not be with herwhen [Smith] got off duty,” according toprosecutors.
After getting off work around 7 a.m.,Smith forced his way into her home, foundthe man hiding in her bathroom andseverely beat him. The victim suffered afractured nose and eye s ocket, according toprosecutors.
While facing felony assault chargesfrom the incident, Smith allegedly
approached the woman on Dec. 4, 2013 , indefiance of a restraining order. Standingoutside the woman’s car around 11 p.m.,Smith called her a whore, told her not tocall police and said she was going to losethe other case against him, according toprosecutors.
After a nine-day jury trial, Smith wasconvicted on all th ree counts and was fac-ing up to 10 years in prison, according toprosecutors.
Before imposing a sentence inDecember, Davis request Smith be evaluat-ed for 90 days at the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation — theresults of which will not be disclosedunless Smith is convicted and sentenced,Wagstaffe said.
On April 17, 2015, the court grantedSmith ’s request to b e released from custo dyso he could attend his brother’s funeral.Smith, who no longer works for theSheriff’s Office, remains out of custody o nhis own recognizance but the restrainingorders remain i n place, Wagstaffe said.
Prosecutors have until July 16 toannounce whether they will refile th e case,Wagstaffe said.
Smith’s defense atto rney did not return arequest for comment.

Standing beneath a massive rainbowflag on the steps o f San Francisco CityHall before hundreds of gay rightsactivists, Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom,state Sen. Mark Leno and numerousother public officials expressed theirdeep pride is the U.S. Supreme Court’sdecision to legali ze gay marriage in all50 U.S. states.
Same-sex couples were among themost celebratory members of thecrowd Friday morning outside CityHall, with many waving rainbow flagsand others wearing the flags super-hero-style.
Hugs were widely exchanged Fridaymorning between members of the pub-lic, and with openly gay public offi-cials such as Leno, San FranciscoTreasurer and Tax Collector JoseCisneros, as well as city supervisorsDavid Campos and Scott Wiener.
D’vora Tirschwell, a resident of theNorth Bay, who stood outside City
Hall adorned in a rainbow outfit, saidtoday was a “profound” moment forAmerican families.
Tirschwell said although she hasbeen in a same-sex marriage since2008, the court’s ruling “means fami-lies can be protected legally” and thatcouples can establish families withdignity.
“It tells me the constitution meanswhat it says it means, what I alwaysthought it meant, ” Tirschwell said.
She said the ruling will change thelives of thousands and make it possi-ble for same-sex couples to hav e legalrights, such as visiting privileges athospitals and guardianship over aspouses’ children.
San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee andNational Center for Lesbian Rightsexecutive director Kate Kendellexpressed their enthusiasm to be inSan Francisco Friday where gay rightsleaders such as Harvey Milk laid thepath to today’s victory.
Kendell said that with this ruling“the ground has sh ifted” and that “jus-tice and love won to day.”
“Much of what we won today startedhere,” Kendell said, acknowledgingthe sacrifices made and the shame andindignity that so many people haveendured prior to this decisio n.
Leno said he experienced firsthandthe indignity when he came out as anopenly gay man in 1969, at a timewhen many people still thought of homosexuality as a mental illness andlaws were unapologetically anti-homosexual.
“We did it,” Leno said, adding,“Today San Francisco’s values becomeAmerica’s values.”
Newsom, a former San Franciscomayor who gained national attentionin 2004 when he directed the San
Francisco city-county clerk to issuemarriage licenses to gay couples inviolation of state law, was among themost celebrated public figures at thecelebration Friday.
Newsom th anked the gay communityfor relentlessly standing up for whatthey believed in and thanked all thosewho stood with him in the fight forgay marriage.
City leaders celebrate Supreme Court ruling
San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee told the throng at City Hall that the city has ‘always been proud in our role leading the nation,perhaps the world’ in fighting for gay rights in general and same-sex marriage in particular.

SACRAMENTO — Regulators onFriday told San Francisco to stop tak-ing s ome of the river water it routinelystores in the Hetch Hetchy reservoir.
However, the city is far from havingits t aps run dry during t he drought.
Officials said the cutback ordersdon’t apply to water already stored in
the reservoir system, which hasenough water to last through two moredry years.
The State Water Resources ControlBoard ordered the cutback in its latestround of notices informing agencies,corporations and individuals holdingwater right s th at waterways are too dryto meet demand in t he drought .
San Francisco depends on snow inthe Sierra Nevada melting into theTuolumne River to supply its drinkingwater, but the snowpack has largely

SpaceX capsule to delivernew parking spot for space station
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — SpaceX stands ready tolaunch a much-needed load of supplies to theInternational Space Station this weekend on the heels of a failed supply run by Russia.
Besides food and experiments, the Dragon cargo shipordered up by NASA hol ds a new dockin g po rt, o r parkingplace, for future commercial crew capsules.
Liftoff is scheduled for 10:21 a.m. Sunday. Good flyingweather is forecast for SpaceX’s unmanned Falcon rock-et.
This shipment is especially critical because the spacestation h as lost two deliveries sin ce fall.A Russian supply ship spun out of control shortly after
liftoff in April and burned up on re-entry with all its con-tents. In October, an Orbital Sciences Corp. cargo carri-er was destroyed in a Virgini a launch explos ion .
Once again, SpaceX is picking up the slack. This willbe the eighth station s upply run for the California-basedcompany; the first was in 2 012.

Two Peninsula lawmakers introduceda bill in the California LegislatureFriday that would bar PG&E Co. fromtaking state tax deductions on up to$1.3 billion of a $1.6 billion penaltylevied on the utility in connectionwith a fatal pipeline explosio n in SanBruno.
The record $1.6 billion package of fines and penalties was imposed by theCalifornia Public UtilitiesCommission in San Francisco onApril 9 in three investigations stem-ming from the 2010 pipeline explo-sion and fire, in which eight peopledied and 66 were in jured.
PG&E has said it will not ap peal thepenalty.
The bill, SB 681, was proposed bystate Sen. Jerry Hill, D-San Mateo, andAssemblyman Kevin Mullin, D-SouthSan Francisco, in the wake of a lettersent by Commission PresidentMichael Picker to federal and state taxagencies.
In that letter, sent on April 30,Picker told the agencies that the entire
package of $1.6 billion in fines andpenalties was “intended to be puni-tive” and not tax-deductible.
“It is unclear whether the tax agen-cies will prohibit PG&E from takingdeductions for these penalties,” Hillsaid in a news release announcing thepropo sed state law.
“SB 681 will remove this ambigui-ty” in regard to state deductions, Hillsaid.
The penalty package in cludes a $300
million finepayable to thestate’s general fund,$850 million forpipeline safetyimprovements, a$400 million one-time credit to cus-tomers and $50 mil-lion for previouslyidentified improve-
ments.Hill said in the announcement that
the $300 million fine was clearly notdeductible but the status of the other$1.3 billion was unclear.
If the bil l is made law, i t would blockPG&E from obtaining up to $115 mil-lion i n state tax deductions o n the $ 1.3billion.
PG&E spokesman Nick Sti mmel saidFriday the company believes that partof the penalty is tax-deductible.
“Respectfully, we acknowledge theviews expressed in the draft legisla-tion as well as those of the commis-sion. While we are not appealing theCPUC decision , we contin ue to beli evethat costs outlined in the decision aredeductible under tax laws,” Stimmel
said in a statement.“Our focus moving forward is on
becoming the safest, most reliableutility in the nation for our customersand their families,” Stimmel said.
Picker, who too k office as PUC pres-ident on Jan. 1, sent the letter to theU.S. Internal Revenue Service, stateBoard of Equalization and stateFranchise Tax Board.
In the letter, he noted that twoadminis trative law judges had origin al-
ly proposed a non-deductible fine of $950 million, butthe commissionchose to divert alarge part of thatamount to aninvestment inpipeline safety,while at the sametime increasing the
total penalty from a proposed $1.4billion to the $1.6 billion.
“It is critical t hat yo u understand thecommission’s intention with thisorder — to p enalize PG&E for its long -standing and egregious violations of law,” Picker tol d the tax agencies.
“We fully int ended and hope t hat anyeffort by PG&E to deduct any of thecosts of complying with the commis-sion’s decision be clearly and deci-sively disallowed on the basis of theirpunitive n ature,” Picker wrote.
The penalties were imposed in threeproceedings that investigated the SanBruno explosion, PG&E record-keep-ing practices and its pipeline opera-tions in locations with high popula-tion density. The commissioners con-
cluded that PG&E committed 2,425violations of regulations in the threeareas ov er a number of years.
The explosion and resulting fireoccurred when a high-pressure PG&Enatural gas transmission pipeline seg-ment ruptured in San Bruno o n Sept. 9,2010. The pipeline segment, ins talledin approximately 1956, had a defec-tive seam weld and was incorrectlylist ed in PG&E records as being seam-less.

CHARLESTON, S.C. — President BarackObama used his eulogy for a slain pastor todeliver an unvarnished lecture on America’sracial history Friday, and then boldly sang
“Amazing Grace,” a spiritual meant to sum-mon hop e in the darkest of times.Obama also called for gun control and
efforts to eliminate poverty and job discrim-ination, and said the Confederate battle flag— long a symbol of Southern pride — mustbe removed from places of honor.
“For many — black and white — that flagwas a reminder of systemic oppression andracial subjugation . We see that now,” he said.
The president came to eulogize the Rev.Clemente Pinckney, a state senator whosechurch was founded by the leader of a failedslave revolt and burned to the ground byangry whites in 1822. After the Civil War,the Emanuel African Methodist EpiscopalChurch led efforts to expand equal rights inthe South, hosting Martin Luther King Jr.during campaigns in South Carolina.
Pinckney himself came from a long line of preachers and protesters, and the eight peo- ple slain beside him drew no distinctionsbetween their work in ch urch and their efforts to i mprove society, Obama said.“We do not kn ow whether the kil ler of Rev.
Pinckney and eight others knew all of thishistory,” the president said. “But he surelysensed the meaning o f his vi olent act. It wasan act that drew on a long his tory of bombsand arsons and shots fired at churches; notrandom, b ut as a means of control, a way toterrorize and oppress. ”
“An act that he imagined would incite fear,and incrimination, violence and suspicion.An act he presumed would deepen divisionsthat trace back to our nation’s original s in, ”Obama continued, his voice rising in thecadence of th e preachers who preceded him.
“Oh, but God works in mysterious ways!”Obama said, and the crowd rose to give him astanding ovation. “God has different ideas!”
Obama spoke plainly about the ugliness o f America’s racial history — from slavery tothe many ways minorities have beendeprived of equal right s in more recent times.Taking down the Confederate flag is a right-eous step, “but God doesn’t want us to stopthere,” he said.
Americans should want to fight povertywith as much effort as they fight hate, andrealize that hate isn’t always obvious, hesaid, “so t hat we’re guarding against not justracial slurs, but we’re guarding against the
subtle impulse to call Joh nny b ack for a jobinterview, b ut not Jamal.”

MILLBRAE –Some say that
science and religiondon’t mix. Some
say that science isthe ultimate searchfor God. Some say
religion supersedesscience, some say both have equal statureand others say both are hogwash. Everyone
has their own personal assessment of thecorrelation between science and religion.
The aspiration of religion along with theaspiration of science is to explain theuniverse and answer questions about life, in
addition to satisfying human psychologicalneeds when dealing with the realities ofdeath. Religion is based on faith, science is
based on observation, and both are based onhuman curiosity and the need to find
answers. Whether a person is repetitivelyreading religious scripture, or fascinated byrepeatable scientific experimentations, both
are searching for methods that answerquestions about the universe around us.
It can be debated that early humans
turned to religion as a way to alleviate theirfears and gain reassurance with the concept
of life after death. This helped to give thema sense of order in a confusing world that
often seemed mysterious. Eventuallyscientific realization evolved along sidereligion and the process of “trial and error”
established itself as a way to solve some ofthese mysteries. Fire the wheel farming.
The more humans observed the world theylived in, the more they leaned how thenatural world worked and how they could
manipulate it to their advantage. Over thecenturies religious power came at odds with
scientific discovery, which led to a period of
scientific stagnation: “The Dark Ages”.Later at the dawn of “The Renaissance”science was again embraced leading to great
advances in art, architecture, medicine,astronomy and other natural sciences. Over
the ages science and religion have beenevolving together on a roller coaster ride ofacceptance, denial and equilibrium.
We now appear to be at a crossroadswhere religion is not only viewing science
with an evaluative broadmindedness, but isexploring hand in hand with scientificprocesses. One prime example is the
Vatican’s “Pontifical Academy ofSciences”. Quoting John Paul II: “...today
eminent scientists are members a visiblesign of the profound harmony that canexist between the truths of science and the
truths of faith...”. Gregor Mendel, the fatherof Genetics, was an Augustinian Friar.
Georges Lemaitre, who developed much ofthe Big Bang Theory, was a Belgian priest.Recently, Pope Francis, who has a Master’s
Degree in Chemistry, insisted that there isno reason to believe that science and God
are incompatible.With all this in mind, every human being
is unique as a fingerprint, and every humanbrain has its own unique consciousness.
Whether you analyze with your religious capor your science cap, matrimony between the
two could be found by looking inward. So,close your eyes, examine your deepthoughts, and you may detect a rational
enlightenment finely attuned to both.If you ever wish to discuss cremation,
funeral matters or want to make pre-planning arrangements please feel free tocall me and my staff at the CHAPEL OF
THE HIGHLANDS in Millbrae at (650)588-5116 and we will be happy to guide you

BEIRUT — Fighting raged intothe night Friday between Kurdishfighters and Islamic State mili-tants in the Syrian border town of Kobani, as repo rts mounted that atleast 120 civilians, includingwomen and children, have beenkilled by the extremist groupsince it launched a new offensiveon the strategic town the previousday.
The fighting came amid deadlyterror attacks across continents —from shootings in a Tunisianbeach resort, to an attack on aU.S.-owned factory i n France and asuicide bombing by an IslamicState affiliate at a Shi ite mos que inKuwait t hat ki lled at least 27 wor-shippers — all following the ISgroup’s call for violence duringthe Muslim holy month of Ramadan.
Syria’s official SANA newsagency said some 120 civilianswere killed by IS fighters sinceThursday in Kobani, describingthe killings as a “massacre.” Itgave no details, but Kobani-basedactivist Mustafa Bali told theAssociated Press that as many as142 were killed, mostly civiliansshot dead in cold blood, and 183were wounded. At least 40 IS mili-tants were also k illed, their bo diesleft unclaimed on the town’sstreets, said Bali.
IS militants remained fortifiedin buildings in several districts of this northern Syrian town on theTurkish-Syrian border, he added.They were holding hostages in
three locations, he said. A fourth
location, a restaurant, wasstormed by Kurdish fighters who
freed the hostages and killed sev-
eral IS fighters earlier in the day,Bali said.
Also Friday, a suicide car bomb-
ing targeted a security building inthe northeastern town of
Hassakeh, which also came under a
surprise IS attack on Thursday. TheSyrian news agency said therewere casualties, without giving afigure, while the Britain-basedSyrian Observatory for HumanRight s said at least 20 troops werekilled and the building was badlydamaged.
No one immediately claimedresponsibility for the Hassakehbombing, which bore the hall-marks of the Islamic Stategroup.
The surprise twin attacks onKobani and Hassakeh came afterthe Islamic State group suffered aseries of setbacks over the pasttwo weeks, including the loss of the Syrian border town of TalAbyad — one of the g roup’s mainpoi nts for the transfer of foreignfighters and supplies.
Kobani has become a symbol of Kurdish resistance after the town.Backed by U.S.-led coalitionairstrikes, the town’s defenders
endured a months-long siege bythe Islamic State before theybroke the siege and drove the ISforces out.
Kurdish officials said IS mili-tants wearing Syrian rebel uni-forms and carrying th e flags of theWestern-backed Free Syrian Armysneaked into the to wn before dawnon Thursday as everyone slept.Just before sunrise, they set off three car bombs and quickly tookup fortified posi tion s insi de build-ings, they said.
“Honestly, their plan was verysmart,” said Bali. “We believethey came from the north and thatthey h ad been ins ide the city for atleast two hours before the fighti ng
began. “

bombing has targeted a security
building at the northeastern,
mostly Kurdish city of Hassakeh.

alties from Friday’s attack, but
gave no figures. The Britain-
based Syrian Observatory for
Human Rights says at least 20

on a network of activists across
Syria, says IS positions inside
and around the city have been
coming under intense airstrikes
by th e U.S.-led coalition over the
past two days.

Dozens killed inattacks in Tunisia,Kuwait and FranceBy Ben Wiacek and Paul SchemmTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SOUSSE, Tunisia — A young man pulled a Kalashn iko v
from a beach umbrella and sprayed gunfire at Europeansunbathers at a Tunisian resort, killi ng at least 38 p eople— one of t hree deadly att acks Friday from Europe to NorthAfrica to the Middle East that followed a call to violenceby Isl amic State extremists.
The shooting s in the Tunisian resort o f Sousse happenedat about the same time as a bombin g at a Shii te mosque inKuwait and an attack on a U.S.-owned factory in Francethat included a beheading. It was unclear if the violencewas linked but it came days after the IS militants urgedtheir followers “to make Ramadan a month of calamitiesfor the nonbelievers.” In all, th e assailants killed at least65 people.
The SITE Intelligence Group reported later that the ISclaimed credit for the Tunisia attack on its Twitter accountand identified th e gunman as Abu Yahya al -Qayrawani.
The attack in Tunisia, the country’s worst ever, comes just month s after the March 18 mass acre at th e nat io nalBardo museum in Tunis that k illed 22 p eople, again most-
ly t ourists, and has called into question the newly electedgovernment’s ability to protect the country.
“Once again, cowardly and traitorous hands have struckTunisia, targeting its s ecurity and that o f its children andvisit ors,” President Beji Caid Essebsi told reporters at theRIU Imperial Marhaba hotel, near the beach rampage site.
Essebsi promised “painful but necessary” measures,adding: “No country is safe from terrorism, and we need aglob al strategy of all democratic countries.”
Rafik Chelli, the secretary of state of the InteriorMinistry, told the Associated Press th at the attack was car-ried out by a young student not previously known toauthorities. At least 36 people were reported wounded inthe shooting spree, which ended when the gunman wasshot t o death by poli ce.
The Islamic State group claimed responsibility for thesuicide bombing at the Shiite mosque in Kuwait Cit y th atkilled at least 27 people and wounded scores of other wor-
shipp ers at midday prayers — the first s uch attack in themostly quiet and relatively secure Gulf Arab nation inmore than two decades.
In southeastern France, a man with ties t o Islamic radi-cals rammed a car into a gas factory, touching off anexplosi on th at injured two people. Authorities arriving atthe si te made a grisly discovery: the severed head of thedriver’s employer was found hanging at the plantentrance.
The suspect, Yassi ne Salhi , was seized by an alert fire-fighter, authorities said, and French President FrancoisHollande said the attacker’s intention had been to cause anexplosion. A security alert for the southeast region wasraised to its highest level for the next three days, and theU.S. Embassy i n Paris warned American citi zens to be vi g-ilant.

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina — PopeFrancis’ homeland of Argentina is not
on t he iti nerary for his South Americantour in J uly.
The pontiff hasn’t been back sincehe became pope more than two yearsago, and the Vatican says he doesn’twant to influence October’s presiden-tial election by visiting now. Francishas complained in recent months thathe has felt “used” by Argentine politi-cians who take their picture with himin Rome.
Instead, the pont iff will tour Ecuadorand two countries that borderArgentin a: Boli via and Paraguay.
Although he will stay away, Francisnevertheless intensely follows whathappens where he was born and spentmost of hi s life before becoming worldleader of the Roman Catholic Church,
according to local journalists whohave covered him for years, friends inthe country and Vatican officials.
“This is a pope who is very interest-ed in politics and has considerablepolitical sensibility,” said Mariano DeVedia, poli tical editor for theArgentine newspaper La Nacion andauthor of “In the Name of the Father,” abook that examines Francis’ rockyrelationship with President CristinaFernandez and her predecessor and latehusband, Nestor Kirchner.
Much of what Francis says and doeshas an impact in Argentina, a majority
Catholic nation of 41 million peoplewhere the church wields great influ-ence.
He has promised to open ch urch filesfrom Argentina’s 1976-1983 militarydictatorship — a potential Pandora’sbox that could spark more lawsuits andarrests related to the estimated 30,000people k illed or disappeared during t he“dirty war.”
Francis made headlines early thisyear by lamenting that a growing drugtrade in Argentina could lead to a
“Mexicanization” of the country.Many interpreted those comments as a
scathin g criti que of Fernandez and herparty, which has held power since2003.
Earlier this month, he receivedFernandez at the Vatican for the fourthtime, drawing the ire of some opposi-tion leaders.
“Don’t disappointment me,Francisco!” Elisa Carrio, an opposi-tion congresswoman and aspiringpresidential contender, posted to herFacebook page during hi s last meetingwith Fernandez.

NEW YORK — Stocks had a mixedday Friday, as investors waited fornegotiators to finish th eir work on asolution to Greece’s debt problems.Chinese stocks plunged 7 percent asfears sp read that a yearlon g bull rallythere has become overheated.China’s benchmark index is still upmore than double over th e past y ear.
The Dow Jones industrial averageadded 56.32 points, or 0.3 percent,to 17, 946. 68. It was largely lifted byNike, which rose more than 4 percentafter posting strong quarterlyresults.
The Standard & Poor’s 500 indexfell 0.82 of a point, or 0.04 p ercent,to 2,101.49 and the Nasdaq compos-ite lost 31.68 po ints, or 0.6 percent,to 5, 080.5 1. All three indexes endedthe week slightly lower.
As they have done all week, globalinvestors are watching closely asGreek debt talks go down to the wire.
On Thursday, a key meeting of euro-zone finance ministers broke upwithout an agreement. The 19 minis-ters are due to meet again Saturday.
Greece needs a deal in order to mak ea debt payment of 1.6 billion euros($1.8 billion) to the InternationalMonetary Fund on Tuesday. Failingto do so would put the country on a
path toward default and a possibleexit from th e euro.
“While these deadlines can quiteoften be taken with a pinch of salt,Greece has literally run out of timeon this occasion,” said Craig Erlam,senio r market analy st at OANDA.
Investors now turn to next week,
when the U.S. government willrelease the June jobs report.Economists forecast that U.S.employers created 237,500 jobs lastmonth, according to FactSet.
There’s been a lot of focus on whenthe Federal Reserve will raise its keyinterest rate. Recent economic dataseems to show that the U.S. econom-ic recovery is holding steady, andnow many investors are expectingthe Fed to raise rates in September.
“There’s a premium on economicdata right now. Outside of Greece,everyone will be focused on how theU.S. economy is holding up,” saidQuincy Krosby, a market strategist atPrudential Financial.
While Greece has been the main
driver in financial markets recentweeks, worries over China have risenthe list of concerns. On Friday,Chinese stocks plunged more than 7percent. The Shanghai compositeclosed at 4,39 1.91. It reached 5,30 0
just two weeks ago .“Although I continue to be opti-
misti c about the long er-term trend of
(China’s) markets, it’s clear that weare in a sharp correction phase,” saidBernard Aw of IG Markets inSingapore.
In energy trading, the price of oilwas nearly flat Friday. It finis hed theweek li ttle ch anged, and remained ina narrow range for the ninth straight

Stocks lower as Greece deadline approaches
By Stan ChoeTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS
CHICAGO — Is it worth it t o pay a stockpicker when index mutual funds are socheap?
More investors are saying no, and bil-lions of dollars are jumping onto the index-fund bandwagon by the month. Billions areleaving actively managed mutual funds atthe same time. It was against that backdropthat several high-profile stock pickersmade their case at the MorningstarInvestment Conference in Chicago thisweek. Two of the conference’s main discus-sion panels addressed whether stock pick-ing is dead, as Morning star released a reportshowing that t he majority of actively man-aged stock funds fall short of index-fundpeers.
“Active management has lost its voice a
little bit, and we want people to rememberwhat it’s about,” said Rob Lovelace, presi-dent of Capital Research and Managementand a portfol io manager at American Funds,the industry’s third-largest fund family.
American Funds has been an exceptionamong actively managed funds and hasdrawn new inves tment ov er the last y ear.
“The debate isn’t active versus passive,”he said. “Our goals are all th e same.”
Index funds and actively managed fundscan be potential complements, rather than
just an eith er/or p ropo sit ion , s tock pickerssay. The benefits of index stock funds arewidely appreciated: They charge an averagefee of $11 per $10,000, versus $86 foractively managed stock funds, and lowercosts mean investors keep more of thereturns.
Stock pickers say the difficulty for themis that they typically best demonstrate
their worth when the market tumbles -- ararity since the stock market has roughlytripled since hitting its bottom in early2009. In a downturn, active managers saythey can avoid the worst-performing
stocks and help cushion th e blow of a bearmarket.
Of course, actively managed funds didn’tdo so well in 2008. That’s because thefinancial crisis brought down all sectors of the stock market together, along witheconomies around the world. That makes itan exception, Lovelace said. In 10 of thelast 12 bear markets, he said AmericanFunds did better than index funds. In 2000,for example, American Funds’ Growth Fundof America returned 7.5 percent, when theStandard & Poor’s 500 index fell 9.1 per-cent.
The hope is that by blunting the pain of down markets, actively managed funds can
help investors resist the temptation toabandon stocks and sell low. That wouldhelp them lock in better returns over thelong term.
To be sure, most actively managed funds
have produced lower returns over the lastdecade than index funds. That may bebecause many are built very similarly toindex funds, and the only differencebetween these “closet indexers” and indexfunds is their higher fees, said DianaStrandberg, director of international equityfor Dodge & Cox, which runs actively man-aged funds
That’s why even stock pickers areembracing the focus on low fees that’ssweeping the mutual-fund industry.Lovelace suggested investors look not onlyfor funds with low fees and strong trackrecords but also those in which the man-agers invest their own money in the fund.

WASHINGTON — Consumer sentimentrose this month to the hig hest level sinceJanuary, suggesting that spending willstrengthen this year.
The University of Michigan says itsconsumer sentiment index rose to 96.1this month from 90.7 in May. The Junereading was the highest since January’s
98. 1. The index is up from 82. 5 a year ago.For the first six months of 2015, con-
sumer optimism improved at the fastestpace since 2004, three years before theGreat Recession, said Richard Curtin,chief economist for th e Michigan survey.
“An improving economy was the mostimportant component,” Curtin said.
He said the readings are consi stent witha 3 percent in crease in consumer spendingthis year. That would be the fastest pace
since 2006. The Commerce Departmentreported this week that cons umer spendingrose at an annual pace of 2. 1 percent fromJanuary t hrough March.
“After a soft start to the year, weexpect the economy to find its footingin the coming months with strongerconsumer spending seen to be a keydriver of accelerating (economic)growth,” Gregory Daco, head of U.S.macroeconomics at Oxford Economics,
wrote in a research no te.Americans at all income levels regis-
tered improving optimism.The optimism reflects a strong job mar-
ket. Employers have been adding jobs —nearly 3.1 million over the past year — ata pace not seen since the boom years of the late 1990s. Unemployment stood at5.5 percent in May, down from 6.3 percenta year earlier. Wages have been slower toimprove.

In the intermediate game, pitchers throwfrom 50 feet and the base paths are 70 feet.
This is the first year District 52 held an inter-mediate tournament, which was created by anumber of factors, the big gest being RedwoodCity deciding to forgo a juniors program this

Mets moving to six-manrotation for ’foreseeable future’
NEW YORK — Highly touted Steven Matzis s et to j oin t he New York Mets th is week-end as part of their plan to return to a six-man rotatio n for th e “foreseeable future.”
General manager Sandy Alderson made theannouncement before the Mets hostedCincinnati on Friday night. He said he
expected the shift to six starters “will con-tinue for a period of time.”
Matz will join a talented rotation thatincludes Matt Harvey, Jacob deGrom,Bartolo Colon, Noah Syndergaard and JonNiese. Alderson said the Mets want to avo idoverworking their mostly young staff andmanage their innin gs.
Matz is ready to make his major leaguedebut Sunday against the Reds. The 2 4-year-old lefty from Long Isl and leads th e Triple-A Pacific Coast League in ERA, strikeoutsand innings, and is tied for the most wins.
In each of the two previous seasons in theminors, Matz won the clinching game of league championships.
Earlier this month, the Mets abandonedtheir try at a six-man rotation after just oneturn through s tarters and wound up sending
Dillon Gee to the minors.Alderson said the move back to six
starters was no secret to t he staff.“This arrangement has been discussed
with the other five pitchers,” he said. “Ithink they understand it’s in their interest.”
Alderson said off-days would not factorinto when pitchers worked, and that keep-ing t o a six-man rotatio n would be “as strictas we can make it, in th e near term.”

Late Giants rally falls short Baseball briefs
Gay, Bowie capture 100 titles at nationalsEUGENE, Ore. — Tyson Gay was g oing so fast th rough thefinish line t hat he nearly ran out of track to apply the brakes,sidestepping cameramen to avoid a nasty collision.
That kind of closing speed was necessary to catch the kidin the lane next to him.
Gay fell behind early onl y to make up ground in a h urry onBaylor standout Trayvon Bromell to win the 100 meters atthe U.S. championships on a scorching Friday night.
“Man, that kid is tough,” Gay said about the 19-year-oldBromell. “He got out good and I had one of those 10-years-of-experience, dig-down moments. ”
The 32-year-old Gay finished in 9.87 seconds to secure aspot at the world championships in Beijing this summer.Michael Rodgers was third to also make the world teamalong with Justin Gatlin , who didn’t compete because he hadan automatic bye courtesy of his Diamond League title.
In th e women’s 1 00, Tori Bowie used a late surge to sn eakby English Gardner, taking the crown in 10.81. Oregon star
Jasmine Todd wound up third. Carmelita Jeter, who’s work-ing her way back from a quadriceps in jury, was sevent h.
Gay hasn’t competed at worlds since 20 09. He missed the2011 competition with a hip injury and qualified in 2013,but withdrew after failing a drug test that resulted in a one-year suspension.
He returned last summer and has been making changes ev ersince, switching coaches and coasts as he moved fromFlorida to California. He wears his hair l onger and has a newsponsor in Nike.
The one thing he can’t change? His perception after hisdoping suspension.

OAKLAND — Kendrys Morales and AlexGordon ho mered to b ack Edinson Volquez,and the Kansas City Royals beat the
Oakland Athletics 5-2 on Friday night.Unlike when these two teams met in
April, when there were bench-clearing scuf-fles in all three games, there were no signsof lingering animosity. A few players fromboth clubs exchanged hugs and handshakesbefore the game, and both managers down-played talk o f any carry-over effect.
Instead the Royals rode the power of Morales and Gordon, and got anotherstron g outing from Volquez.
Pitchin g agains t the A’s for the first timesince 20 07, Volquez (8-4) gave up three hitsand one run in seven in nin gs. Volquez alsoreached 1, 000 strikeouts for h is career whenhe fanned Brett Lawrie in th e sixth .
Sam Fuld had an RBI double for Oakland,which had its five-game win streaksnapped.
Greg Holland retired two batters for his15th save.
It was these teams’ first meeting since
that wild series in April.
Lawrie was at the center of much of itwhen the teams played in Kansas City. Hishard slide into second base knocked Royalsshortstop Alcides Escobar out of the firstgame. Two days later, Kansas City reliever
Kelvin Herrera was ejected after throwing a100 -mph fastball b ehind Lawrie.
Herrera was booed heavily when heentered Friday’s game but p itched the eigh thwithout incident.
Franklin Morales hit Oakland catcherStephen Vogt with a pitch i n the nin th.Beyond that, there was nothing to suggestthere was any animosity left between theteams. Oakland slugger Billy Butler huggedformer teammate Eric Hosmer behind homeplate during batt ing practice, and both man-agers were reluctant t o even discuss t he in ci-dent.
“Nobo dy on my team has even mentionedit or thought about it, and I doubt very seri-ously anybody over there has,” Royalsmanager Ned Yost said before the game.“There’s been a lot of time sin ce that seriesand a lot of water under the b ridge.”
Morales homered off A’s starter JesseHahn in the second, hi s ninth of the season.
Lorenzo Cain’s two-out single in t he thirdmade it 2-0, and Hosmer followed with aninfield single to drive in Escobar. Oaklandfirst baseman Ike Davis fielded Hosmer’sgrounder but made a bot ched flip to Hahn (5-6) covering first base for an error, allowingCain to s core from second.
Fuld doubled in Marcus Semien in thethird. Ben Zobrist added an RBI double forOakland off Franklin Morales in the ninth.
Gordon hit his ninth homer with two outsin the sixth.
Hahn allowed five runs and nine hits insix innings. He struck out five and walkedone.
Up next
Royals : RHP Chris Young (6-3) startsthe middle game of the s eries and is comingoff his worst outing of th e season, when hegave up seven runs in 4 2-3 innings againstBoston.
Athletics: LHP Scott Kazmir (4-4) has a1.27 ERA in six starts at the Coliseum thisseason, the lowest mark at home in themajors.

SACRAMENTO — Tom Watson still getsquite a thrill seeing his name atop the leader-board.
Maybe even more at age 65.Watson withstood the scorching heat to
shoot a 1-under 69 on Friday, finishing in athree-way tie atop the bunched leaderboard afterthe second round of the U.S. Senior Open.
“The illusion that I can still do it,” Watsonsaid when asked what keeps him playing com-petitive golf. “I don’t have the tools in the tool-box I used to have. They’re missing. Some of the tools are missing. And so it ’s getting moreand more difficult for me to compete, but I stillfeel as if I can somehow get it done.”
Sure seems that way so far in Sacramento.Watson was joined at 5 under for the champi-
onship by Jeff Maggert and Peter Fowler.Maggert shot a 65, and Fowler a 66 in theirmorning rounds.
But all the attention turned to the Hall of Famer heating up in the sizzling sunshine.
