WASHINGTON A sixt hstraight month of solid 200,000-plus job growth in July reinforcedgrowing evidence that the U.S.economy is accelerating after fiveyears of sluggish expansion.
Employers added 209,000 jobslast month. Though that was fewerthan in the previous three months,the economy has now produced an
average 244,000 jobs a monthsince February the best six-month string in eight years.
At the same time, most econo-

The Labor Departments jobsreport Friday pointed to an econo-my that has bounced back withforce after a grim start to the yearand is expected to sustain itsstrength into 2015. Economistsgenerally expect it to grow at a 3percent annual rate in the second

throughout the district.After three meetings, the Mills
High School-Design Tech Co-Location Task Force found thatbeyond 2014-15, the Millbraeschool facility may prove inade-quate and impact the educationalprograms. It also investigatedwhether the charter could use theSan Mateo County Office of
Education Regional OccupationalProgram facility on nearbyRollins Road in Burlingame, butthe space will be filled this fall.
Were essentially running twoschools on one campus; these arenot separate facilities, said MillsPrincipal Paul Belzer. We see thisas an issue of sustainability. Were fortunate at Mills and across
the district that weve pushed tech-nology. One of the primary issuesis are we going to be able to havethe bandwidth?
Students at both schools will berequired to carry identification atall times and Mills is working tocome up with compatible expecta-tions of all students on campus.Figuring out how to divide up
shared spaces like the library andswimming pool is also an issue toconsider. The about 140-studentDesign Tech High School, ord.tech, is getting from Mills sixclassrooms, each with 960 squarefeet of space.

Its a homecoming for Foster City-raised
Melissa WolfKlain, who will be starring inHillbarn Theatres production of FunnyGirl.
WolfKlain, who now lives in New YorkCity, will play Fanny Brice in the 2014-15season opener that runs from Aug. 28-Sept.21. Shell be staying at her parentshouse dur-ing the musical. This is her first play in FosterCity.
This is my first show at Hillbarn and firstshow in Foster City too, she said. Unlessyou count a talent show at the rec center whenI was 12.
The director of the play, Dan Demers, calledWolfKlain to say he was thinking about thisshow and thought of her immediately. Sheauditioned and got the part.
The actress, singer and dancer attended SanMateo High School and went on to the
University of Arizona where she received abachelors of fine arts in musical theater. Shestarted her acting career in middle school.
After that, I couldnt stop, she said. Icant imagine doing anything else. Its kindof a rush and then when people tell you how
you touch them when you get off stage, itsreally very fulfilling.
Following college graduation, WolfKlain,
whose last name is a combination of both herparents last names, moved to Los Angelesand lived there on and off. She moved on to do
shows in the Bay Area and Sacramento, alongwith national tours and independent films.She has one various awards, including the SanFrancisco Bay Area Theatre Critics Award forBest Female Principal Performance as KathySelden and the Stage/Scene LA Scenie Award:Best Performance by a Lead Actress for herrole as Princess Fiona. Her main piece ofadvice to aspiring actors is to not stop tryingto work.
You cant be scared of the word nobecausethats more than 90 percent of your career,she said. You strive to hear that yes and itsthe best thing in the world when you do.
Although WolfKlain cant imagine notbeing an actress, she said she could see herselfas a bridal consultant or a Pilates instructor.
As for the role of Fanny Brice, its a hugechallenge, WolfKlain said. She sings songslike Dont Rain on My Parade, People andYou Are Woman, I Am Man.
Youre practically on stage the wholeshow, she said. All the songs are so iconic,
so its going to be interesting to do my takeon them because everyone has BarbraStreisands voice in their head. Playing Fanny she was an iconic person in her own right.
For more on Hillbarn, the show and to pur-chase tickets go to hillbarntheatre.org.

GARY R. WALTHERS, born in Omaha, NE on May 29, 1943,passed unexpectedly at his home in Buffalo, WY on July 25, 2014.
Gary was the cherished and much loved spouse of CeCe by
whom he is survived and mourned. Gary was predeceased by
his father, Ralph Walthers, and his mother Josephine Walthers,
whose care Gary and CeCe lovingly and unselfishly undertook for
many years in her final years of life. Gary was also predeceased
by all his uncles, aunts, and numerous cousins. In addition to his
wife, Gary is survived by his sisters Linda Miller and Karen Riley, nieces Julie Kaprielian andKelly Copeland, nephews Jerry Wright and Dan Devoy, and two grandnieces.
Gary graduated from San Mateo High in 1961, entered into service in the U.S. Army,
became a member of the 101st Airborne Division, returned home and attended CSM. Gary
held many positions in the local restaurant industry in the San Mateo area. Gary and CeCe
settled in Buffalo, and their lives were devoted to church and community service; they also
open their own business. Gary was especially dedicated, and found great satisfaction in
helping troubled local youth, drawing on his own experiences.
Garys greatest love and joy in life was CeCe, his love of God and family. The loss of Gary
to CeCe and to those who love him can only be lessened by the rejoicing in heaven of his
loved ones at his arrival. Until we all are reunited again, may Gary rest in peace.

Beatrice E. Betty Koon
Beatrice E. Betty Koon passed away peacefully on Tuesday
morning July 29th 2014 at her home in Redwood City.
Born Beatrice Elizabeth Mauk on May 7th 1917 in Manila,
Philippine Islands, she came to San Francisco at the age of
five after her parents divorced. She and a younger sister were
orphaned when their father died and the girls lived in an
orphanage until an uncle took them in.
Betty grew up in Grand Rapids, Michigan, attended the
University of Michigan and soon after completing nurses training
married Dr. William D. Koon.
Betty radiated kindness and compassion and often opened her home to others in need. She
was blessed with excellent health and was still driving into her 90s, raising orchids, caring for
the koi in her backyard pond and creating beautiful watercolors. She was proudest, however,
of her family and will be dearly missed by many, including son Collon Shandler; son Dan and
wife Mariette Lindstein; daughter Jennifer Adamson and husband Tony; grandchildren Juanita

SACRAMENTO A state appel latecourt ruling has given new momentum toGov. Jerry Browns $68 billion high-speed rail project by providing the statewith a substantial funding source and lift-ing one cloud over a plan that has beenwidely criticized for its cost, route, con-struction plans and environmentalreviews.
The 3rd District Court of Appeal onThursday overturned two lower court rul-ings that had prevented the sale of $8.6billion in voter-approved bonds and creat-ed uncertainty about financing of the proj-ect to link Northern and SouthernCalifornia with high-speed trains.
The Sacramento County Superior Courtjudge had also ordered bullet train offic ial sto write a new funding plan specifying howthe state would pay for $26 billion in workit has not yet found financing to cover.
The appeals court ruling is probably themost important news thats been receivedin the last several years, said Rod Diridonof the Mineta Transportation Institute atSan Jose State University and a former
member of Californias High-Speed RailAuthority board. What it does is signal to
the rest of the world that the Californiahigh-speed rail project is legally sound andis going ahead.
The ruling came on the heels of a budgetdeal Brown brokered for long-term fund-ing. It gives the project $250 million thisyear from the states greenhouse gas emis-sions fund and a quarter of the funds rev-enues in the future, which could eventually
be billions of dollars a year.Last years lower court rulings stalled
momentum and tied up future financing,forcing the state to rely on $3.3 billion infederal matching funds. The plaintiffs,Kings County and landowners in theCentral Valley, argued that the current bul-let train plans deviate substantially fromwhat voters were told the project would bein 2008 when they approved selling nearly$10 billion in bonds for it.

DENVER Colorado has started issuingdrivers licenses and identification cards toimmigrants regardless of their legal status,
marking a dramatic change in a state thatless than a decade ago passed strict immi-gration enforcement laws.
There was a festive mood at one Denveroffice issuing the documents Friday morn-ing, as state Department of RevenueDirector Barbara Brohl congratulated appli-cants once they had their cards approved.
I never imagined that I would one day
have a drivers license in my hands,Mexican immigrant Rosalva Mireles, 37,said in Spanish as she held a paper copy ofher new license. The permanent card will bemailed.
Shes one of thousands of immigrants
hoping the identification cards will add adegree of legitimacy to their residency inColorado. About 9,500 people are signed upfor appointments through the next 90 daysto get the documents, with more gettingscheduled every day. Both people in thecountry illegally and those who have tem-porary legal status will qualify.
The demand has been tremendous since
immigrants started making appointmentsJuly 1, with the states website for appoint-ments crashing at one point because of thetraffic. So far, appointments are being han-dled at only five locations Denver,Aurora, Colorado Springs, Fort Collins and
Grand Junction.

Obituary

WASHINGTON House Republicanspassed legislation late Friday to address thecrisis on the U.S.-Mexico border by send-ing migrant youths back home without
hearings, winning over conservatives witha companion bill that could lead to deport-ing more than half a million immigrantswhom the Obama administration grantedtemporary work permits. President BarackObama condemned the Republican actionand said hed act unilaterally, as best hecould.
A day after GOP leaders pulled the borderbill from the floor in a chaotic retreat, teaparty lawmakers were enthusiastically onboard with the new $694 million versionand a companion measure that would shutoff a program created by Obama grantingwork permits to immigrants brought hereillegally as kids. The second bill alsoseemed designed to prevent the more than700,000 people whove already gottenwork permits under the program from
renewing them, ultimately making themsubject to deportation.
The spending bill passed 223-189 lateFriday, with only four Republicans votingno and one Democrat voting yes. Themeasure ending Obamas deportation reliefprogram passed 216-192, with 11
Republican no votes and four Democratscrossing party lines to vote in favor.
Its dealing with the issue that theAmerican people care about more than anyother, and that is stopping the invasion ofillegal foreign nationals into our coun-try, said Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn.
But Obama said no. Theyre not even try-ing to solve the problem, the presidentsaid. Im going to have to act alone,because we do not have enough resources.
Obama said he would reallocate resourceswhere he could, while making clear hisoptions were limited without congressionalaction. The administration already hastaken steps including re-ordering immigra-tion court dockets and boosting enforce-ment measures.
The moves in the House came on what wasto have been the first day of lawmakersfive-week summer recess, delayed by GOPleaders after their vote plans unexpectedlycollapsed on Thursday. Senators had alreadyleft Washington after killing their own leg-islation on the border crisis, so there was
no prospect of reaching a final deal. Butthree months before midterm elections,House Republicans were determined to showthat they, at least, could take action toaddress the crisis involving tens of thou-sands of unaccompanied minors fleeing vio-lence and poverty in Central America tocross illegally into South Texas.
It would be irresponsible and unstates-manlike to head home for the month with-out passing a bill to address this serious,present crisis on the border, said Rep. HalRogers, R-Ky., chairman of theAppropriations Committee.
To reach a deal, GOPleaders had to satisfythe demands of a group of a dozen or moreconservative lawmakers who were meetingbehind the scenes with Sens. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., and taking
their cues from outside groups such as theHeritage Foundation that opposed earlierversions of the legislation.
These lawmakers objected to sending anymore money to Obama without a strongstance against his two-year-old deportationrelief program, which Republicans blame
for causing the current border crisis by cre-ating the perception that once here, youngmigrants would be allowed to stay apoint the administration disputes.
House GOP leaders agreed earlier in theweek to hold a separate vote to preventObama from expanding the deportation
relief program, as hes signaled he plans todo, but that didnt satisfy conservativeswho held out for stronger steps.
Thursday night, those lawmakers huddledin the basement of the Capitol with newHouse Majority Whip Steve Scalise, R-La.,until coming up with a deal ending fundingfor the deportation relief program as well asmaking changes to the border bill aimed atensuring the faster removal of the CentralAmerican migrant youths.
Friday morning, as the full Republicancaucus met in the Capitol, conservativelawmakers were declaring victory.
Im very satisfied, said Rep. SteveKing, R-Iowa, the leading immigrationhardliner in the House.
With the vote to end the deportationdeferral program, We will put a handcuff on
one of the presidents hands, saidBachmann.
The GOP plans met with howls of protestfrom immigration advocates andDemocrats, who warned Republicans thattheyd be alienating Latino voters for yearsto come.
House OKs bill to address border crisis

WASHINGTON Three in four Americansthink history will judge the wars in Iraq andAfghanistan as failures, according to anAssociated Press-GfK poll that shows thatabout the same percentage think it was rightto pull forces from the two countries.
Americans surveyed in last months pollwere not optimistic about the chance that astable democratic government will be estab-lished in either country. Seventy-eight per-cent said it was either not too likely or notat all likely in Afghanistan and 80 percentsaid the same about Iraq.
Roughly three out of four Americanspolled think that in hindsight, each war willbe deemed as an outright complete failureor more of a failure than success.
Amajority of those polled, or 70 percent,said the United States was right to withdrawAmerican troops from Iraq in 2011 and pull
most U.S. forces out of Afghanistan byDecember. The two conflicts have consumedthe nation for more than a decade andclaimed the lives of 6,800 U.S. troops.
Nelson Philip, 73, of Oswego, Illinois, isof two minds. He judges the Afghan war afailure, but wants U.S. troops to stay incountries that remain in turmoil.
Whats so successful about it? We didnt
do anything there. The Taliban. Theyre stillthere. We havent done anything and nowwere pulling everybody out of there,Philip said. And now this Islamic group isover there taking over Iraq.
The situations in Afghanistan and Iraq aredistinct. But in each, the U.S. has spent more
than a decade trying to set up democraticgovernments that could effectively policetheir own territories and stamp out threats tothe American homeland. And in both coun-tries that objective is in peril their futuresthreatened by a combination of poor leader-ship, weak institutions, interethnic rivalry,insurgencies and extremist rebellions.
Americans surveyed in the poll think
more bad news is on the horizon.Fifty percent up 18 points in the past
seven months think the situation inAfghanistan will get worse. Fifty-eight per-cent up from 16 percent in December2009 expect conditions in Iraq will wors-en. The poll was conducted shortly after
Sunni extremists conducted an offensivethat shattered security in Iraq.
The rapid advance by the extremistIslamic State group, which captured Iraqssecond-largest city, Mosul, and overranmuch of northern and western Iraq, hasplunged the country into its worst crisissince the withdrawal of U.S. troops at theend of 2011.

NEW YORK U.S. stocks fell for asecond day Friday, adding to the mas-sive sell-off the day before and givingthe market its worst week in twoyears.
Investors found little reason tomove money into stocks, faced withthe growing geopolitical concerns inIsrael and Ukraine, as well as bankingproblems in Europe.
For the last two years investorshave generally wanted to step in tobuy any major fall in the stock mar-ket, traders said, causing any sell-offto be met the following day with mod-est buying. Traders said that the sell-ing Friday, on top of what happenedthe day before, is not a good sign.
The follow-through from yester-days (market drop) is very telling,said Jonathan Corpina, a trader on theNew York Stock Exchange withMeridian Equity Partners. The end of
this week could not come at a bettertime as the weekend might providesome stability.
On Friday the Standard & Poors 500index lost 5.52 points, or 0.3 percent,to 1,925.15. The index fell 2.7 per-cent this week, its worst weekly per-formance since June 2012.
The Dow Jones industrial averagefell 69.93 points, or 0.4 percent, to
16,493.37. Thats on top of the 317-point drop the index had on Thursday.The Nasdaq composite fell 17.13points, or 0.4 percent, to 4,352.64.
Energy and financial stocks wereamong the biggest decliners.Chevron, the nations second-largest
oil and gas company behind ExxonMobil, fell $1.34, or 1 percent, to$127.90. While Chevrons earningswere better than analysts had predict-ed, the companys oil and gas produc-tion fell in the quarter. Exxon alsoreported lower production when itreleased its own results Thursday.
Banking stocks also fell. JPMorganChase, Bank of America, MorganStanley and Goldman Sachs all slidroughly 2 percent.
On Friday, the International Swapsand Derivatives Association ruled thatArgentina had officially defaulted onits bonds for the second time in 13years, in what the ISDA calls a creditevent. In a credit event, investorswho own credit-default swaps, a type
of insurance that protects against abond issuer defaulting, are activatedand the companies which wrote thepolicies must pay the investors whoown them.
In Portugal, the struggling bankBanco Espirito Santo plunged 40 per-cent. Espirito Santo reportedWednesday a 3.5 billion euro net lossfor the second quarter, and there were
concerns the bank is insolvent.The concerns over the Argentinian
default and as well as with Europeanbanks were the biggest driver ofFridays market decline, said JonathanGolub, chief U.S. market strategist atRBC Capital Markets.
The market doesnt like anythingthat could potentially disrupt the cred-it markets, Golub said, noting thatindicators of market volatility jumpedon Friday.
Adding to the uncertainty, investorshad the violence in Israel and Gaza aswell as Ukraine to worry about. A 72-hour ceasefire between Israel and Gazacollapsed early Friday. In Ukraine,violence between government and pro-Russian separatists escalated.
Ukraines unrest as well as the con-cerns over Espirito Santo weighedheavily on European markets.Germanys DAX fell 2.1 percent,Frances CAC 40 fell 1 percent, and theFTSE 100 index fell 0.8 percent.
As global stock prices declined,
traders moved money into investmentstraditionally seen as having lower riskFriday, such as U.S. governmentbonds, gold and utility stocks.
Investors did get some good newsabout the U.S. economy. The LaborDepartment said that U.S. employerscreated 209,000 jobs in July, while theunemployment rate rose to 6.2 percentfrom 6.1 percent.

SPARKS, Nev. A sprawling industrialpark near Reno where wild mustangs roamamong the sagebrush has become the focusof the secretive site selection process forTeslas $5 billion battery factory, but thegroundwork taking place is no guaranteethe plant and its 6,500 jobs are coming.
Lance Gilman knows the bidding warwith Texas, California, New Mexico andArizona has just begun now that the elec-tric-car maker has confirmed the first stageof preparation for a gigafactory.
Gilman, principal and director of theReno Tahoe Industrial Center, still likesthe chances that his site east of the high
desert suburb of Sparks will land the giantlithium battery plant, in a state still recov-ering from multiple years of having thenations highest unemployment rate.
If you talk about a horse race, no oneelse I know of has even left the startinggate, he told the Associated Press. Youare looking at a piece of property that isready to go tomorrow.
Tesla Chairman and CEO Elon Musk toldinvestors in a webcast Thursday that thecompany plans similar site work in one ortwo other states before we actually go to
the next stage of pouring a lot of con-crete.
Officials for the other states said Friday
that theyre still contenders.Given Renos geographic proximity toTeslas California headquarters, it shouldbe no surprise that it would be identified asone of the possible sites, New MexicoEconomic Development Secretary JonBarela said. Tesla remains a prized eco-nomic development target, and we are stillvery much in the game.
California Gov. Jerry Browns adminis-tration has refused to detail what its offer-ing, but legislation recently enacted tocreate a $420 million tax credit for
Lockheed Martin also included language tohelp battery manufacturers, at his request.
Texas Gov. Rick Perrys office confirmed
Friday that its still in the hunt butdeclined further comment, citing ongoingnegotiations. Perry has made severaltrips to California and lobbied Texas law-makers to address state laws that prohibitTeslas direct sales model, which bypassescar dealerships.
In Arizona, Tucson Mayor JonathanRothschild said he doesnt believeThursdays announcement makes Nevadathe front-runner. He said Tesla officialswere very clear that theyve chosen nosite yet.

DETROIT Big discounts helped U.S.auto sales sizzle in July.
Toyota, Ford, Nissan and Chrysler all sawdouble-digit sales gains. General Motorssales were up 9 percent compared with lastJuly, while Hyundais rose 1.5 percent. Ofmajor automakers, only Honda andVolkswagen saw d eclines.
It was the best July for the industry since2006. New vehicle sales rose 9 percent to1.4 million, according to Autodata Corp.
Automakers typically offer deals in thesummer to clear out inventory before carsfrom the new model year arrive in the fall.But Julys discounts were unusually high.
Incentives rose 8 percent or $216 pervehicle over last July, according to JesseToprak, chief analyst for the car shoppingsite Cars.com. Incentives averaged $2,774
per vehicle, their highest level sinceAugust 2010. Toprak said Ford, Toyota,Volkswagen and Hyundai were the mostgenerous; GM and Honda spent less.
Toyota was offering zero-percent financ-ing on a five-year loan and $1,000 cashback on the Camry sedan. Ford offered
$6,000 cash back on a new ExpeditionSUV. And Chrysler was peddling a $99 permonth, two-year lease on a Dodge Dart.
Edmunds.com said 13.5 percent of newcar loans in July had zero-percent financ-ing, the highest level since December2010.

NEW YORK The gas oline pri ce rollercoaster is running a strange course thissummer.
August began with the lowest averagegasoline price for this time of year since2010. Just a few weeks ago, drivers werepaying the highest gasoline July Fourth
gasoline price in six years.The average price of a gallon of gasoline
is $3.52 after falling 16 cents over the lastmonth. Prices may continue to slide inearly August and post larger drops afterLabor Day as long as there are no hurri-canes that halt production in the GulfCoast or violence in the Middle East thatdisrupts crude supplies.
Well see some more drops, and clearlywell be below $3.50 by Monday, says
Tom Kloza, chief oil analyst at the OilPrice Information Service andGasBuddy.com. Its absolutely counter-intuitive.
Gasoline prices usually drop betweenMemorial Day and July Fourth after refin-ers have begun making more-expensivesummer blends of gasoline. They then tendto rise between July Fourth and Labor Dayas vacation drivers burn through suppliesand traders worry about hurricanes.

Pacifica American suffered its first loss of thepostseason, falling 10-5 to Hawaii in theopening game of the Western Region LittleLeague Tournament Friday in San Bernardino.
After the first inning, Pacifica looked to bein control, rallying for a pair of runs in thebottom of the frame by virtue of three hits.Cruise Thompson led off the game with aninfield single and later scored on a double byChristian Falk. Falk later scored on a single byJustice Turner.
However, Hawaii answer back with six runs inthe top of the second and led the rest of the way.Hawaii scored three more in the fourth inningand one in the fifth to extend its lead to 10-2.
Pacifica scored two in the fifth, once againrelying on the spark of Thompson. The leftydoubled to open the frame. After advancing tothird on a wild pitch, Thompson scored on anRBI groundout by Elijah Ricks. After Falkreached on an infield single with two outs,Turner drove him home with a triple. Thethree-bagger stands as the first triple of thepostseason for Pacifica.
However, what Hawaii did which no other
team has managed to do through Pacificas 12straight wins entering into play Friday waskeep the green-and-gold in the yard. After club-bing 44 home runs through its previous 12games, Pacifica settled for three doubles andTurners triple in the extra-base-hit department.
Pacifica had eight hits in the game, withmulti-hit performances by Thompson, Falkand Turner, who tabbed two hits apiece.
Pacifica utilized five pitchers in the game Ricks, Thompson, Falk, Chris Rodriguez andAndrew Harkness keeping each of themunder the 35-pitch cap to allow for them all tobe available Saturday. Harkness ate up two
innings to close it out, allowing one run ontwo hits while striking out four.Continuing round-robin play Saturday,

NEW YORK Ryan Voge lso ngs st rategyin the dugout before the ninth inning wassimple: keep quiet.
Tired but eager for a shot at his first nine-inning complete game, the right-handerchose not to answer his coaches when askedhow he was feeling.
He was just fine, finishing off his secondcareer complete game with a perfect ninth to
lead the San Francisco Giants to a swift 5-1victory over the New York Mets on Fridaynight for their second straight win after asix-game skid.
I just kind of didnt answer them becauseI didnt want to come out, said Vogel song,who had a six-inning complete gameagainst the Cubs in 2011. It was some-thing I wanted to do.
Vogelsong (6-8) faced 28 batters, oneover the limit, allowing Juan Lagares softsingle leading off the sixth and Lucas
Dudas 20th homer to start the eighth. Inending a five-decision losing skid, hewalked one and got two double plays.Vogelsong threw 102 pitches in the gamethat took 2 hours, 6 minutes.
Brandon Crawford had a run-scoring sin-gle, Matt Duffy an RBI single for his firstbig league hit and Hunter Pence added a two-run triple and RBI groundout off JonathonNiese (5-7) for San Francisco.

Serena Williams reaches semi at Stanford
By Terry BernalDAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Matt Duffy was being teased recently by aformer college teammate about being a big-league option at second base for the SanFrancisco Giants.
On paper, the notiondidnt seem so far-fetched.Duffy was pacing theEastern League in hittingfor Giants Double-Aaffil i-ate Richmond, notorious-ly one of the toughest hit-ting environments in allof baseball. But as many abaseball prognosticatorwill attest, baseball is
not played on paper.So, with Fridays call-up of the 23-year-old
shortstop came a pinch-me, Im-dreamingreaction not just for Duffy, but also for hisformer Long Beach State teammate and long-time friend Nate Underwood.
We had no idea. Nobody really had anyidea, Underwood said. We thought maybeit would happen with a spring-training shotnext year, instead of getting called up in themiddle of a pennant race. But hes earnedit. So, I cant say Im entirely surprised that
hes up there.Duffy cracked the starting lineup in hisfirst day as a big-leaguer. Batting in the No.2 spot in the batting order sandwichedbetween Hunter Pence and Buster Posey,Duffy went 1 for 4 with his first major leaguehit: an RBI single off New York Mets starterJon Niese, capping a three-run rally amid a5-1 Giants win.
Its just that type of production which led toDuffys surprise call-up. In addition to leadingthe Eastern League with a .332 batting aver-age, the right-handed hitting Duffy ranks fifthin the league with 62 RBIs. Tied for ninth with20 steals, he is one of three Flying Squirrelsamong the top 10 stolen-base leaders.

If there's one thing that seems certain every year it s that there is aseasonal change when you move from spring into summer in the residen-tial real estate market. I call it the June swoon. People seem to vanishfrom the real estate market just after Memorial Day and tend to stayaway until after July 4th.
It is usually better to put your home on the market after July 4th asmany buyers who need to buy ahome, will want to close beforeschool starts in the middle of have sold with 6 offers will close

OAKLAND Sonny Gray has been sogood over the past two months the OaklandAthletics havent needed to score runs inbunches.
On Friday night, with slugger YoenisCespedes gone to the Boston Red Sox, they
had no answer for Jeremy Guthrie.Raul Ibanez homered on Grays lone mis-
take, breaking his own franchise record foroldest Royals player to clear the fences andleading Kansas City past the As 1-0 onFriday night.
The 42-year-old Ibanez connected in thefifth inning for his fifth homer, givingGuthrie the lone run he needed for KansasCitys first victory at the Oakland Coliseumsince April 10, 2012. The Royals went 1-5against the As last season, includin g 0-3 onthe road.
Theres no doubt about it, with the pitch-ing matchups were facing in this series,this was a huge win for us, manager NedYost said.
Gray (12-4) hung tough in a pitchers duel
with Guthrie. The right-hander struck outseven in seven innings and didnt walk a
batter for the first time all year.You get spoiled because it seems like
hes doing it every time out. He has done itevery time out, As manager Bob Melvinsaid. Hes been as consistent as a pitchercan be.
Gray had his five-start winning streaksnapped with his first losing decision ineight outings dating to a June 13 home loss
against the Yankees.The past is the past and you move on,
Gray said. Obviously I had a good month.That doesnt matter.
Guthrie (7-9) struck out six in six inningsto win his second straight outing followinga three-start skid as the Royals beat theteam with baseballs best record for theirthird straight win and eighth in 10. It couldget tougher Saturday, when Jon Lestermakes his As debut two days after beingtraded by the Red Sox.
The As struggled to get anything goingand lost for the third time in four games aday after trading two-time reigning HomeRun Derby champion Cespedes to the RedSox for Lester and Jonny Gomes.
Guthrie struck out the side in the sixth,retiring Brandon Moss and Jed Lowrie on
consecutive called third strikes.Nori Aoki doubled leading off the game
and advanced on a wild pitch, but Grayretired the next three batters in order toavoid damage.
Gray had five or more strikeouts in each ofhis five July outings, going 5-0 with a 1.03ERA for the month.
Trainers room
Center fielder Coco Crisp received pain-relieving trigger-point injections in hisstrained neck over recent days. Crisp missed
his fifth straight game and Melvin said heneeds to take swings to test the neck beforereturning.
Fulds returnSam Fuld started in center field and batted
leadoff one day after returning to Oaklandwhere he began the season following a trade
from Minnesota. His leadoff double in thefourth was the first hit off fellow ex-Stanford player Guthrie.
On deckLeft-hander Jason Vargas (8-4, 3.31 ERA)
makes his first start since July 8. He under-
went an appendectomy the next day after heexperienced discomfort.
Lester pitches on seven days rest aftergetting scratched Wednesday ahead of the
trade deadline. Lester (10-7, 2.52 ERA) is 4-0 with a 1.07 ERA over his last eight s tarts.

George suffers serious leg injuryLAS VEGAS Indiana Pacers All-Star
Paul George suffered a gruesome right leginjury late in the U.S. national teamsintrasquad scrimmage Friday night.
George leaped to contest a fast-break
layup by James Harden with 9:33 left in thefourth quarter and his leg smashed againstthe bottom of the backboard stanchion.
Trainers immediately ran onto the floorand after roughly 10 minutes of stoppage,George was taken out of the arena on astretcher. With players looking visiblyupset, coach Mike Krzyzewski thenannounced to the crowd that the scrimmage
would not be finished out of respect toGeorge and his family.
Theres no way the game could have goneon under the circumstances, USABasketball chairman Jerry Colangelo said.
The White team led Georges Blue team81-71.
George was considered a lock to make thefinal 12-man roster for the World Cup of
Basketball that starts later this month inSpain.
The Americans planned to reduce the 20-play pool to 14 or 15 players Saturday, butput off those plans after Georges injury.
Everythings on hold right and it shouldbe, Krzyzewski said. It would be so inap-propriate for us to talk about anything elsewhen theres a serious injury like this.

The Giants were coming off a horridhomestand in which they lost five of six tofall out of first place in the NL West. Theyimproved to 30-20 on the road.
We normally play very well at home,Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. We justhave a tough time scoring runs there. I dontknow what to do to change it but wereworking on it.
After giving Vogelsong no run support in
five of his last six outings, the Giants got
on the board in the second thanks in part toNieses throwing error.
Juan Perez led off with a double. GregorBlanco then bounced back to Niese. Theleft-hander tried to nab Perez, who gotcaught off second, but he bounced the throwand Perez raced into third. Crawford fol-lowed with an RBI single and Pence drove inanother with a grounder.
Its unfortunate, because thats a situa-tion where I cant make a mistake, and Idid, Niese said. Just made a mistake andpaid for it, costing us runs and, ultimately,the game.
Pence tripled to right-center afterCrawford tripled down the right field line
and Vogelsong was hit by a pitch in the sev-
enth. Pence was 4 for 33 coming in.Niese pitched 8-plus innings and allowed
nine hits and five runs three earned. Hehit two batters.
Trainers roomRight-hander Matt Cain needs surgery to
remove bone chips from his elbow. He stillis not sure when he will have the operationbut Bochy thinks the former ace is done forthe season. Recovery is about threemonths.
Up nextGiants: Right-hander Jake Peavy (0-1)
will make his second start for SanFrancisco. Peavy has lost his last 10 deci-sions nine with Boston but has hadsuccess at Citi Field. He is 2-0 with a 3.09ERA against the Mets in Queens.
Double bumpThe Giants promoted Duffy and outfielder
Jarrett Parker from Double-A Richmond totake the roster spots of Dan Uggla and TylerColvin, who were designated for assign-ment. Duffy started at second base and sin-gled in a run in the seventh for his firstcareer hit. He rounded first with a big grin asPablo Sandoval, near the on-deck circlecalled for the ball. I didnt have as manynerves as I thought I would, Duffy said.
The Giants have scored 12 runs in theirtwo wins after scoring six total in the sixstraight losses.
Duda became the 12th Mets first basemanto reach 20 homers in a season. Ike Davis,whom New York traded to Pittsburgh aftergiving Duda the starting role, was the mostrecent in 2012.

GIANTS
Richmonds Kelby Tomlinson is currently pacingthe Eastern League with 44 stolen bases whileteammate Tyler Graham ranks second with 37.
Hes got a good line-drive bat, hes a goodcontact hitter, but also hes very selective at theplate, Giants vice president and assistant gen-eral manager Bobby Evans said. Thats why he
got that No. 2 spot today. Thats part of the rea-son he got called up. To hit like that in theEastern League is not easy, as we all know. Andhes had an extremely successful offensiveyear.
Duffy got word of his big-league promotionThursday night, and one of the first phone callshe made was to Long Beach State manager TroyBuckley. The two are linked in Dirtbags history,as Buckley took the helm at Long Beach Statein Duffys freshman season of 2011.
Long Beach States first extended road trip in2011 was an auspicious one, as the team tookpart in the AT&TTournament at none other thanSan Franciscos AT&T Park. The three-gamestay was an especially sweet homecoming forBuckley a Campbell native and Bellarminegraduate who grew up a Giants fan. But it wasthe first time Duffy ever played at AT&T Park,
and served as the beginnings of his gritty butunspectacular collegiate career.
Through three years with the Dirtbags, Duffyhit for just a .253 career average. He stole ninebases in that time and hit zero home runs. Still,the Giants selected him in the 18th round of the2013 draft.
According to Buckley, the positives Duffybrings to the field are unquantifiable. In short,Buckley paid Duffy the ultimate compliment; hecalled him a ball player.
[Duffy] is very old school, if you will, in anew-school type of mentality, Buckley said.Its refreshing. Thats the best way I can put it,because you like guys that respect the game.
One of the earliest impressions Duffy madeon his college skipper was the then 19-year-olds determination to turn around the LongBeach State program. In 2010, with Buckleyserving as the teams associate head coach priorto taking over in 2011, the Dirtbags sufferedtheir second consecutive losing season.Buckleys mission was to see the teams direc-tion change in a hurry. And it was immediatelyclear Duffy was on the same page.
That was a bad year in 2010, and he didntlike it, Buckley said. I knew there was some-thing there that it wasnt about him and hisnumbers. It was about doing whats best for thisteam and doing that first.
Since 2011, Long Beach State has turned infour consecutive winning seasons. While Duffynever reached the postseason, this year the
Dirtbags surpassed the 30-win plateau andappeared in the regional playoffs for the first
time since 2008. According to Buckley, Duffywas one of the biggest components in turningthe program around on a dime.
We did, and he was a big part of that,Buckley said. My respect for him as a youngman and how he went about things was extreme-ly high for a very young player.
Underwood a San Jose native and graduateof Valley Christian is also a Bay Area boy,and a big Giants fan at that. Before the seem-ingly crazy notion of Duffy being called upbecame a reality, Underwood was hoping theGiants would make a splash with the acquisitionof a potential second-base trade target such asBen Zobrist or Chase Utley.
Now, all things considered, Underwood ishappy his hometown team stood their ground atthe July trade deadline.
I was kind glad we didnt make any moves,because our biggest trade chip was [top pitchingprospect Kyle Crick], Underwood said. And Ididnt want to give him up and mess up hiscareer in a Giants uniform to overpay for some-one to come and give us help.
According to Evans, the Giants did their duediligence in trying to acquire a position playerat the deadline.
It wasnt our intention to stay pat, Evanssaid. It was a reaction to the environment, thetrade market, and the relative options that wehad who was available and what they were
asking about. Some of the guys we inquiredabout and we thought were the best fits didnt
even get traded.
Evans said there is
