COLUMBUS, Ohio — More t han4 millio n U.S. workers will b ecomenewly eligible for overtime payunder rules issued Wednesday by theObama administration.

The rule seeks to bolster over-time protections that have beeneroded in recent decades by infla-tion. A diminishing proportion of workers have benefited from over-time regulations, which date to the1930s and require employers to pay1 1/2 times a worker’s wage forwork that exceeds 40 hours a week.

Bear causes ruckus inCalifornia foothill suburb

RANCHO CUCAMONGA — Wildlifeauthorities have tranquilized a bearthat rambled through a SouthernCalifornia foothill suburb before tak-ing refuge in a tree.

The bear was s ubdued late Wednesdaymorning in the backyard of a home inRancho Cucamonga at the foot of the

San Gabriel Mountains 40 miles eastof Los Angeles. KABC-TV reports thatthree tranquilizer darts were used toknock it out.

Earlier, law enforcement officerspursued the bear to chase it away frompopulated areas, and precautions weretaken at local schools.

One resident, Karen Moore, tells thestation she found her dogs fightingwith the bear outside her home. Shesays she screamed until the bear

 jumped over a gate and her dogs cameback inside.

Passengers in hot airballoon rescued near Napa River

NAPA — Autho riti es rescued 17 pas-

sengers and the pilot of a hot air bal-loon who were stranded in wetlandsbetween Napa and Vallejo.

The grounded ballo on was first sp ot-ted about 7 a.m. about three milessouth of the Napa Airport by a

California Highway Patrol airplane.No one was in jured.CHP crews contacted the balloon’s

pilot by radio and informed him thatground vehicles could not reach thearea, the newspaper reported.

Cal Fire Capt. Will Schunk says theairplane crew called in a CHP chopper.The chopp er crew removed passengersin groups and flew them to the south-ern end of Milton Road along t he Napa

River.What caused the balloon to groundwas not immediately clear.

Sweet tooth: Florida alligatorcaught swiping watermelon

Florida alligators are known for eat-ing many things: turtles, birds, theoccasional human limb.

But on e large gator with an app arentsweet tooth was recently pho-tographed sliding into a canal with awhole watermelon clamped in its jaws.

“Gator caught stealing watermelonout of watermelon field in HendryCounty,” a Florida Agricultural CrimesIntellig ence Unit o fficer wrote May 13on the group’s Facebook page. Sgt.

Charles White of the Hendry CountySheriff’s Office took the photo.The image had been shared thou-

sands of times by Tuesday. HendryCounty is east of Fort Myers, largelyagricultural and in the center of the

southern part of the state.The photo stunned Steve Stiegler, a

wildlife biologist in th e alligator man-agement program at the state’s Fishand Wildlife ConservationCommission.

“Um,” he said, chuckling. “Thiswould be unusual. Watermelons are notgenerally part of an alligator’s diet.”

He added that the gator in the photoappears to be about 10 feet long.

Alligators are predatory carnivoresthat eat fish and frogs when they’resmall.

“As an alligator gets larger, it willeat larger fish, larger vertebrates suchas snakes, birds, land mammals thatget too close to t he water or attempt toswim across the body of water,”Stiegler said.

He said that for an unknown reason,people who illegally feed alligatorsoften give them marshmallows.Indeed, on the Facebook post of thegator watermelon thief, several peoplereminisced about tossing marshmal-lows to gators in Florida.

That’s a no-n o, St iegler said.“That alligator probably has a sweet

tooth, and one of the more popular

treats for people who illegally feedalligators are marshmallows.Alligators can taste sweet, and some-how this alligator got a taste of awatermelon and he’s gone back formore.”

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT

San Bruno police are working to stampout prostit ution and human trafficking asso-ciated with illicit massage parlors.

The department just completed a trainingsession offered by the California MassageTherapy Council focused on elimin ating an dpreventing the businesses, which are some-

times a front for illegal activity.“The San Bruno Pol ice Department recog-

nizes that massage therapy can offer valu-able health and therapeutic services. Thedepartment further recognizes that, unlessproperly regulated and monito red, t he prac-tice of massage therapy and the operation of massage businesses is susceptible to beingassociated with unlawful activity,” Chi ef of Police Ed Barberini wrote in a statement.

His department has partnered with thenonprofit state agency t o facilitate trainingfor law enforcement personnel throughoutthe Bay Area.

The council ramped up law enforcementtraining sessions last year to share informa-tion and discuss new developments andchanges in the Massage Therapy Act, whichwent into effect Jan. 1 , 201 5.

The agency was formed through legisla-tion i n 2008 to implement a voluntary cer-

tification process established by the stateLegislature for massage professionals. Theagency’s central goal is to protect and main-

tain public safety when consumers arechoosing certified massage professionals.

The training the agency provides focuseson the types of evidence used to take disci-plinary action, including suspension andrevocation of a massage permit.

After officers receive the training, whichhas been o ffered for the las t two years, theycan work cooperatively with the agency totake stronger enforcement action and craftmore focused approaches in the fightagainst illicit massage parlors.

Earlier this month, San Bruno policeannounced they sh ut down t wo massage par-lors and arrested two in connection withprostitution.

It was a five-month operation.Police conducted the operation in

response to a an ordinance adopted in June

2015 by the San Bruno City Council updat-ing rules and regulations associated with

operating a massage business in the city.The operation was conducted between

October and March, in an effort to combathuman trafficking, prostitution and otherillegal activities that may happen under theguise of massage therapy.

On Nov. 5, officers conducted an operationat Sunrise Massage, located at 121 ElCamino Real. There, officers arrested an

employee, identified as 36-year-oldSacramento resident Jiemei Yang on suspi -cion of solicitatio n for an act of prostitution.

Then on Jan. 11, an operation was con-ducted a Go Healthy Spa, l ocated on 21 7 ElCamino Real. There, officers arrested 57-year-old San Francisco resident Mai PhuongNguyen-Vu, the business’ owner, on suspi-cion of solicitation for an act of prostitu-tion, according to police.

The city has since revoked the two busi-nesses’ certificates of registration, pro-hibiting them from operating in the city.

Additional o perations and random inspec-tions will continue through the year, policesaid.

 Any one with inf ormatio n about ill egalactivities occurring at massage businesses

in San Bruno is asked to contact police at (650) 616-7100.

SAN JOSE — Democratic presi dentialcandidate Bernie Sanders arrived in San

Jose Wednesday for a rally that drewthousands of people who lis tened to hisplatform less than three weeks awayfrom the st ate’s p rimary election.

Sanders was met with cheers and clapsas he spo ke from a podium at the SantaClara County Fairgrounds where headdressed the crowd for about 30 min-utes on numerous issues including theeconomy, immigration and health care.The diverse crowd held blue signs dis-playing his campaign s logan, “A Futureto Believe In” and many wore shirtsthat read “Feel The Bern.”

“The reason that this campaign isdoing so well is a pretty simple one andthat is we are telling the truth,” Sanderssaid.

Sanders came to San Jose ahead of the

state primary election on J une 7, whenhe hopes to gain 47 5 delegates that canhelp him win the Democratic nomina-tion.

Sanders has won 20 states in t he pri-mary elections across the countryincluding his most recent gain inOregon on Tuesday.

Chris Webb, 30, of San Jose, predict-ed the state’s Democratic primary willbe a close vote, similar to the closemargin Kentucky saw on Tuesday.

“Bernie’s been consistent for hiswhole career that ’s why he’s a lock vot efor me,” Webb said.

Sanders was most proud of winningby large margins the majority of votesfrom young people, who he called the“future of our country. ”

Sanders’ campaign is also con-

fronting the coun-try’s “rigged econo-my” in which thetop one-tenth of theone percent has asmuch wealth as thebottom 90 percent.He’s als o s upportiveof raising the federalminimum wage to$15 an hour.

Sanders discussedbuilding a health care system underMedicare that benefits everyone, anissue that was important for Milpitasresident Rita Lambro.

Lambro, 76, is a retired nurse whoworked in the intensive care unit atRegional Medical Center of San Jose,where she saw many people who didn’tsee a doctor until they “deathly ill”because they lacked insurance.

“We’re the only civilized country inthe world that doesn’t have it and we’reone of the richest,” Lambro said.

Sanders also addressed closing thegender pay gap, guaranteeing paid fam-ily and medical leave and imposingtaxes on people in Wall Street.

In addition, Sanders called for freetuition to public colleges and universi-ties and allowing college graduates torefinance their student loans.

Michelle Rivera, 2 1, of Fremont, wasinterested in Sanders’ plan on collegetuition, which she said has increasing-ly become more expensive every year.

Rivera is currently an OhloneCollege student who plans to transfer toa four-year university for a bachelor’sdegree in business administration.

Sanders called for the need to rebuildinner cities, create affordable housingand to preserve nature.

“The American people understand thatcoming together always Trumps divid-ing us up,” Sanders said.

He was also supportive of a stateballot measure to legalize marijuana,

Sanders also took time to address th edifficulties faced by people of colorincluding those i n th e Latino, African-American and Native American commu-nities.

If elected president, Sanders said hewould use executive power to help passcomprehensive immigration reform if Congress doesn’t do so and end the cur-rent deportation po licies.

LOS ANGELES — California generallyhas enough electricity on tap to keep airconditioners humming this summer, but aheat wave could leave millions of Southern

Californians without power in the aftermathof a huge natural gas well blowout, thestate’s power-grid operator warnedWednesday.

A lack of natural gas to fuel power plantsduring p eak demand potenti ally co uld inter-rupt electricity on as many as 14 days thissummer, according to an assessment fromthe California Independent SystemOperator.

Southern California will need “deft man-agement” of the po wer supply b ecause of thepartial sh utdown of the vast n atural gas sto r-age field at Aliso Canyon, Steve Berberich,the systems president and chief executive,said in a statement.

“The ISO has moved quickly to put intoplace new mechanisms t o reduce the i mpact

of gas curtailments on electric reliability,”he added. “We are also asking consumers torespond to calls for energy conservation ondays we call a Flex Alert.”

In general, the report said the summerpower supply appears adequate, with newsupplies coming online in the past year,

especially from wind, s olar and other renew-able p roducers, an d near-normal h ydroelec-tric supplies projected thanks to decentrunoff from melting snow after years of drought.

California can generate more than 54,000megawatts of electricity, an increase of nearly 4 percent over last summer, thereport said. That is well over the expecteddemand.

Southern California Gas Co.’s AlisoCanyon field is the largest natural gas stor-age area in the West. Ample st orage is need-ed because natural gas pipeli nes can’t deliv-er gas fast enough or carry the capacityneeded to meet the demands of gas-poweredgenerating plants when demand spikes dur-ing the hot months.

SAN FRANCISCO — How do you teachthe history of the world in Californiaschoo ls, where nearly two-thirds of studentsare Latino or Asian, many from newly immi-grated families?

That’s the challenge facing a Californiapanel charged with establishing a new his-tory and social studies framework for thestate’s 6. 2 million public school students.

On Thursday, the Instructional QualityCommission is scheduled to considerwhether to forward a proposed plan to theCalifornia Board of Education. The frame-work will guide publishers in choosing

material for textbooks. It was last over-hauled in 2000.Debate about the plan o ver the past decade

has been painstaking and emotional, pep-pered with testimony from ethnic groupsthat want something different in the waytheir people are presented in textbooks anddiscussed in class rooms.

For example, a Hindu-American group hassquared off against scholars, protesting thesubstitution of the words South Asia forIndia and arguing that the framework doesnot use modern geography to describe otherancient civilizations.

People of Japanese descent have arguedagainst including mention of Asian “com-fort women” enslaved during World War II.

They say the facts are in dispute.Other groups simply want more about

what their peopl e endured such as the ki llin gof an esti mated 1. 5 milli on Armenians underthe Ottoman Empire a century ago and theBataan Death March in the Philippines in1942, when 10,000 Filipinos and 750Americans died on a forced 60-mile walk toprison.

“It’s about people’s stories and for solong, the stories have been narrowly told,so when there’s an opportunity to develop anew framework, we want to make sure theyare accurate sto ries,” s aid Eric Heins, presi-dent o f the California Teachers Associati on.

“It creates a much richer narrative andstory about what makes California so unique

in th e United States,” h e said.California has the largest K-12 popula-tion in the country, so changes in its text-books often prompt revisions in otherstates. California’s diverse student popula-tion is 53 percent Latino, 2 5 percent white,12 percent Asian or Pacific Islander, and 6percent African-American.

Educators say they’re not surprised by thepassionate input from the public about thetextbooks but add that there’s not enoughclassroom time to cover all the material.

Bill Honig, chairman of the History-Social Science Subject Matter Committee,said the panel spent ho urs taking testimonyfrom 90 people in March and considering1,500 suggestions for the framework.

GOP-led House approves$602 billion defense billBy Richard LardnerTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON — The Republican-led House voted con-vincingly Wednesday to approve a $602 billion defensepolicy bill after rejecting attempts by Democrats to closethe detention facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and to

repeal the war powers President Barack Obama relies on tofight the Islamic State.

The legislation, which authorizes military spending forthe fiscal year beginning Oct. 1, seeks to halt a decline inthe combat readiness of the U.S. armed forces by purchas-ing more weapons an d prohi biti ng further cuts in tro op lev-els. But in a 17-page statement on the policy bill, theWhite House detailed its opposition to numerous provi-sions and said Obama would veto the legislation if itreached his desk.

The bill, approved 277-147, must be reconciled with aversion the Senate is expected to consider by month’s end.

Republicans shot down an amendment by Rep. JerroldNadler, D-N.Y., to st rike parts of the bi ll th at renew alongs tanding ban on mov ing Guantanamo detainees to theUnited States. The embargo has kept Obama from fulfill-ing a campaign pledge to shutter the facility. The WhiteHouse said the restrictions interfere with the executivebranch’s authority to decide when and where to prosecute

prisoners.The House soundly defeated an amendment authored by

Rep. Barbara Lee, D-Calif., to revoke a 2001 authorizationthat Con gress gav e President George W. Bush to attack anycountries or groups involved in the Sept. 11 terroristattacks. Obama is relying on that nearly 15-year-oldauthority to send U.S. troops into combat against theIslamic State.

Lee argued it’s long past time for Congress to grant newwar powers that specifically approve the nearly two-year-old campaign. “I am extremely disappointed that my col-leagues left a blank check for endless war on the books,”she said.

HOUSTON — Immigrant rightslawyers have asked a federal judge toappoint a special monitor to oversee alongstanding legal agreement on thedetention of children caught crossingthe U.S.-Mexico border, an accord atthe center of lawsuit set to be debatednext month in a California appealscourt.

The request is part of a motion filedTuesday in Los Angeles federal courtby attorneys who say officials are vio-lating a July 2015 court order by U.S.District Judge Dolly Gee that enforced

the agreement. The judge’s order saidimmigrant children should be released

“without unnecessary delay” fromdetention centers, including two inTexas, and that kids can’t be held incenters not licensed as child care facil-ities.

Advocates for immigrant rig hts fil edthe lawsuit after federal officials b eganholding mothers and their children atdetention centers set up in response tothe arrival of tens of thousands fromCentral America in 2014. The JusticeDepartment had argued it was neces-sary to modify the 1997 settlementand use detention to try to deter moreimmigrants from coming to the borderafter the 2014 surge.

“Defendants have nevertheless

ignored their obligation to treat chil-dren ‘with dignit y, respect and special

concern for their particular vulnerabil-ity as minors’ and have continued toviolate the settlement and this court’sorders,” attorneys for the Center forHuman Rights and Constitutional Lawand other groups wrote in theirmotion.

Gillian Christensen, a spokes-woman for the Department of Homeland Security, said in an emailthat the agency “is complying withthe terms of the agreement and thecourt’s . .. order even as we appeal t hatruling. Our response to the motionwill be filed expeditiously.”

The immigrant rights lawyers askedthat a special monitor b e appointed for

two years to oversee compliance withthe settlement.

Democrats, Sanderscome to the brink ascampaign nears endBy Erica Wernerand Ken ThomasTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON — The awkwardembrace between Bernie Sandersand the Democratic Party may benearing a breaking point.

Leading Democrats are growingincreasingly vocal in their concernsabout the White House hopeful’scontinued candidacy, and if he andhis l egions of enthusiastic support-ers ultimately will unite behindHillary Clinton in a general elec-tion against Donald Trump.

For his part, Sanders has sharp-ened his critique of the party. Hesays it would be “sad and tragic” if 

Democrats don’t stop relying onbig money, and he is assailingClinton for her dependence onwealthy donors. Clinton backersgrumble that such comments canonly help Republicans, belyingSanders’ claims th at he’ll work tire-lessly to ensure Trump doesn’t endup the president.

The tone on both sides is worsen-ing after last weekend’s fracas at theNevada Democratic Convention.Furious over rules they claimedfavored Clinto n, a group of Sanderssupporters shouted obscenities,brandished chairs and threatened andharassed the party chairwoman. Andafter Democratic officials in cludingSenate Minority Leader Harry Reid

of Nevada pressed Sanders to

denounce theevents, Sandersdefiantly assert-ed that his sup-porters weretreated unfairly.

The tenor of the Sanders’statement dis-t u r b e dD e m o c r a t i c

leaders. They’re worried that as theprimary process nears its end,Sanders may resist the graceful exi tthat Democrats expect of him andinstead heed advisers and supporterspressing him to maintain the fight,perhaps all the way to theDemocratic convention inPhiladelphia in July.

“Everything our families careabout is at stake here,” saidDemocratic Sen. Barbara Boxer of California, who said she feared forher safety after being booed andshouted down at the Nevada conven-tion.

Boxer said in an interview thatshe spoke with Sanders this week,and found her Vermont colleaguevery upset, insisting “my peoplewouldn’t do th is. ”

“I just to ld him, ‘Bernie, you needto take control o f this, ”’ Boxer said.

Boxer and other influentialDemocrats cited Clinton ’s handlingof her bitter loss to Barack Obamaeight years ago as a model. Then,Clinton washed away a season of 

bad blood by conceding and throw-ing her support behind the eventualpresident.

“The math didn’t add up for herthen and it doesn’t add up for Bernienow,” Democratic Sen. DebbieStabenow of Michigan said.

Vice President Joe Biden gentlychastised Sanders, saying he shouldbe more aggressive in speaking outif his supporters behave as badly asthey did in Nevada, but expressingconfidence the party would unify.“I’m not worried. There’s no funda-mental split in the DemocraticParty,” he said in Ohio Wednesday.

Few are demanding publicly thatSanders get out of the race immedi-

ately. That may change quickly if hedoesn’t do so early next month, pre-suming Clinton wraps up the nomi-nation as expected. But right now,the party’s leaders want to avoidmaking the campaign so bitter thatSanders’ backers refuse to rejoin thefold.

Looming over all the uncertaintyis the prospect of violence inPhiladelphia like the riots thatmarred the 1968 convention inChicago.

“People are trying to reach outand make sure that this thing does-n’t get ruptured,” Sen. ClaireMcCaskill, D-Mo., said. The ques-tion, she said, is will Sanders “go

all-in to help Hillary Clinton defeatDonald Trump?”

Jim Manley, a Democraticspokesman and former top Reidaide, worried that even if Sandersbacks Clinton, the rancor of thecampaign may lead his supportersto stay home on Election Day.

But a bitter end to the Clinton-Sanders primary may be difficult toavoid.

Sanders has won 20 states. Andhis ability to energize progressivesand draw huge crowds has contrastedwith Clinton’s plodding air of inevitability that has excited fewpeople on her march to theDemocratic nomination.

WASHINGTON — Presumpti ve Rep ubli canpresidential nominee Donald Trump onWednesday released a list of 11 potentialpicks to replace Antonin Scalia on the U.S.Supreme Court, a mix of federal and state

 judges that appeared tailored to win over

conservatives still skeptical of his candida-cy.The decision t o release such a list is hi gh-

ly unusual for a presidential candidate, andcomes as Trump is working to unite aRepublican Party fractured by his candidacyand assuage still-skeptical establishmentRepublicans who question his abil ity to wina general election.

“I have a lot of people that are conserva-tive that really like me, love everything Istand for, but they really would like to knowmy vi ew,” Trump sai d Wednesday in an int er-view with Fox News, “because perhaps out-side of the defense of our country, perhapsthe single most important thing the nextpresident is going to have to do is pickSupreme Court justices.”

The list, which featured several prominen t

names floated repeatedly on conservativewish lists to replace Scalia, won immediatepraise from those Trump is trying to winover.

“This list ought to be encouraging to any-one who prio ritizes the rule of law, and I con-gratulate Mr. Trump on making a very sig-nificant pol icy statement about his desire toprioritize the future of the Supreme Court,”said Carrie Severino of the Judicial CrisisNetwork, a group leading the opposition toPresident Barack’s Obama’s pick to replaceScalia, Merrick Garland.

Senate Judiciary Committee ChairmanChuck Grassley, a Republican who hasrefused to hold a hearing to consider

Garland’s appoin tment tothe hi gh court, said Trumphas “laid out an impres-sive list of highly quali-fied jurists. ”

“Understanding thetypes of judges a presi-dential nominee wouldselect for the SupremeCourt is an importantstep in this debate so the

American people can have a voice in thedirection of the Supreme Court for the nextgeneration,” he said.

Among the j udges o n Trump’s list is J oanLarsen, who serves on the MichiganSupreme Court. A former law clerk to Scalia,Larson delivered one of the tributes to thelate justice at his memorial service. Sheserved in th e Justice Department o ffice thatproduced the legal justifications for theenhanced interrogation techniques, includ-ing waterboarding, that critics have calledtorture.

“I was surprised,” Larson said. “I did seethe list and those are incredibly distin-guished jurists and I’m honored to b e associ-ated with j udges on that li st. It’s an incredi-

ble list.”Another pick is Don Willett, a justice onthe Texas Supreme Court perhaps bestknown outside his state for his Twitteraccount, (at)justicewillett. Willett has o pen-ly mocked Trump to his more than 35,000followers, including on Aug. 27, when hewrote, “Can’t wait till Trump rips off his faceMission Impossibl e-style & reveals a laugh-ing Ruth Bader Ginsburg.”

Mobbed by reporters Wednesday when heshowed up at a book signing with TexasRepublican Gov. Greg Abbott just as news of Trump’s list was breaking, Willett giggled atthe attention. He said he was “exercising

 judicial restrain t” by declini ng to comment.

QUITO, Ecuador — Two powerful earth-quakes jolted Ecuador on Wednesday, caus-ing one death and injuring dozens.

Neither appeared to have caused seriousdamage but th e gov ernment decided to can-cel school nationwide as a precaution. In

Guayaquil, office workers fled into thestreets after th e second quake.Both tremors were centered along the

Pacific coast near the epicenter of lastmonth’s magnitude-7.8 quake and rattledhomes as far away as th e capital, Quito.

Wednesday’s initial shake was a magni-tude-6.7 quake that s truck before 3 a.m. , andthat was followed by a 6.8 tremor aroundmidday.

President Rafael Correa said one persondied in Manabi province in confusing cir-cumstances that were still being investigat-ed. At least 85 people were injured, two of them seriously.

“These sorts of aftershocks are normalbut that doesn’t mean they’re not scary andcan cause damage,” Correa said in a tele-vised address after the first quake. He added

that aftershocks of thi s magnit ude were nor-mal for up to two mon ths after a major quakelike the o ne Ecuador experienced in April.

The president s aid that while some previ-ously ravaged homes suffered more damage,most of those structures had already beenevacuated and no b uildings coll apsed.

Security coordination minister Cesar

Navas said one person was injured when awall fell and five others were hurt in pan-icky efforts to flee buildings.

The magnitude-7.8 earthquake on April 16was Ecuador’s worst natural disaster indecades, killing 661 people and leavingmore than 28,000 homeless. It has beenfollowed by hundreds of aftershocks, atleast five of them of magnitude 6. 0 or hig h-er.

Ecuador was al ready strugglin g economi-cally before the April disaster. Correa hasraised taxes to fund the recovery but says itwill take years to rebuild the beach townsand tourist hubs l eveled by the quake.

Jorge Zambrano, mayor of Manta, one of the areas hit hardest by last month’s earth-quake, said the streets were calm afterWednesday’s tremors.

WASHINGTON — The head of the Centersfor Disease Control and Prevention warnedWednesday that a House GOP measure tocombat the Zika virus is inadequate to dealwith the swelling threat to public health.

But CDC Director Tom Frieden’s appear-ance before a closed-door meeting of President Barack Obama’s HouseDemocratic allies isn’t likely to change theoutcome of a House debate on th e $622 mil-

lion GOP plan to battle Zika. Republicanscontrolling the House are moving toward avote on Thursday, ignoring protests fromDemocrats and a White House veto threat.

Frieden warned that the GOP measure isinadequate and told the assembledDemocrats that the threat from Zika —which can cause severe birth defects — isgrowing as more people travel to Zikahotspots and as the populations of mosqui-

toes that spread the dis-ease increase in the sum-mer months.

“He said in our discus-sion, ‘If this Republicanbill is approved to denythis vital CDC and NIHfunding, we will not beable to develop the toolsto diagnose the virus,combat the mosquitoes,

and develop a safe and effective vaccine,”’

said Rep. Lloyd Doggett, D-Texas. “He said,‘We cannot mon itor all t hos e who are beinginfected, have already been i nfected.”’

Obama requested $1.9 billion threemonths ago to battle Zika. When Congressdidn’t act o n th e request, he devoted almost$600 million in previous appropriations,mostly leftover funding from the recent andsuccessful effort to fight Ebola, to combatZika.

Lebanese man held inIran had past U.S. contracts

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — A non-profit organization headed by a Lebanesecitizen held priso ner in Iran received grantstotaling $730,000 from the U.S. govern-ment for projects in the Middle East, theAssociated Press has l earned.

Nizar Zakka, 49, a technology expert andadvocate for Internet freedom, was arrestedin Tehran in September after being invitedby the Iranian government to attend a con-ference there. Although no charges havebeen announced, Iranian media has accusedhim of being an American spy, allegationsvigorously rejected by his family and asso-ciates.

WASHINGTON — A top House Republican

introduced an election-year resolutionWednesday censuring the IRS chief, markingthe latest step in the GOP’s war against theagency over its treatment of conservativeorganizations.

The four-page resolution call s for the resig-nation or firing of John Koskinen, claimingthe commissioner has failed to cooperatewith a congressional investigation of theagency. It accuses him of conduct “incompat-ible with his duties and inconsistent with thetrust and confidence placed in him as an offi-cer of the United States.”

The measure by Rep.Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah,is nonbinding, and would

not force him from the job, even if th e Housewere to approve it.

But the resolution voic-es the longtime hostilityof many conservativegroups and lawmakerstoward the tax-collectingagency. Their enmity

escalated in 2013 when the IRS conceded thatit had subjected right -leaning t ea party groupsto excessive scrutiny when examining theirapplications for tax-exempt status.

NEW YORK — New signs thatinterest rates may be headinghigher sent stocks flittingbetween gains and lossesWednesday, but the major indexes

ended up closing pretty muchwhere they s tarted.Stocks held onto gains through

the first part of the day, but in theafternoon the Federal Reservereleased minutes of its last meet-ing suggesting it was more opento raising rates than many hadthought. Caught unaware,invest ors started dumpin g utilitiesand other high dividend payersthat h ad been in favor for much of the year.

Bond prices fell sharply, send-ing l ong-term interest rates high-er.

By the close, the Standard andPoor’s 500 index managed to ekeout a gain, up 0.42 points, just

0.02 percent higher, to 2,047.63.The Dow Jones industrial averageslipped 3.36 points, less 0.1 per-

cent, to 17,526.62. The Nasdaqcomposite climbed 23.39 points,or 0.5 percent, to 4,739.12.

Utilities fell 1. 9 percent on theFed news, but banks rose becausethey can make more money onloans if rates go higher.JPMorgan Chase j umped 4 p ercent

and Goldman Sachs climbed 3 p er-cent.

“The Fed is clearly in the dri-

ver’s seat” of the stock market,said Ernie Cecilia, chief invest-ment officer of Bryn Mawr Trust.It’s impacting prices “more thanany other kind of input out there.”

The minutes of the Fed’s lastmeeting showed a widely heldview among policymakers that it

“likely would be appropriate” toraise rates at its June meeting aslong as the economy and labor

markets continue to strengthenand inflation shows signs of accelerating.

Some investors are worried thata rise in rates will hurt a sluggishU.S. economy that grew just 0.5percent in the first quarter.

“There is little room for error,”

said Tom Cassidy, chief invest-ment officer at Univest WealthManagement Division. “When

you’re growing slowly, any hic-cup could result i n a recession .”

Among stocks making bigmoves, Target plunged $5.61, or7.6 percent, to $68 after reportingthat s ales had slowed. The compa-ny also gave a forecast that disap-pointed investors.

Shares of many other retailersfollowed the company lower inwhat is shaping up to be a miser-able y ear for the sector. Wal-Martdropped $1.95, or 3 percent, to$63.15 and Costco Wholesalelost $2.31, or 1.6 percent, to$141.29.

Lowe’s bucked the trend, rising$2.53, or 3 percent, to $78.60 onsurging first-quarter profits andhigher comparable-store sales.The home improvement chainalso raised its outlook for the yearas it benefits from a strengtheningU.S. housing market.

In overseas markets, Germany’sDAX and France’s CAX 40 each ros e0.5 percent. Britain’s FTSE 100

was unchanged. Japan’s Nikkei 225index was flat. Hong Kong’s HangSeng lost 1. 5 percent.

SAN DIEGO — Record highs in the SanFrancisco Bay Area helped lift Californiahome prices last mont h to their loftiest lev-els since September 2007, a research firmsaid Wednesday. Sales were soft.

The average home p rice in th e nine-coun-ty Bay area hit $686,000, surpassing itspeak in 2007, according to CoreLogic Inc.,which has tracked data since 1988. SanFrancisco County notched its highest-evermedian price at $1.3 million, while nearbySanta Clara and Alameda counties als o po st-ed record high s.

The tech-heavy Bay Area econo my fueledCalifornia’s median sales price to$430,000, up 4 percent from March and 6.3percent from a y ear earlier, CoreLogic said.It was the 50th straight annual increase andthe highest level since $434,500 inSeptember 2007.

There were an estimated 40,968 new andexisting single-family homes and condo-miniums sold in the state, up 6.3 percentfrom March but down 1.2 percent from ayear earlier.

The lack of affordability, thin suppliesand credit constraints kept a lid on sales,CoreLogic analyst Andrew LePage said.

The California Association of Realtorsreported Monday that t here was a 3.5 -monthsupply of unsold homes single-familyhomes in California last month at the cur-rent sales pace, well below normal invento-ry of five to seven months.

runs in th e fifth and sixth innings to post an11-5 victory.

“I thought the guys were resilient,” saidHillsdale manager James Madison. “We hadthat one inning get away from us. That wasa big swing of momentum for us torespond.”

With the win, the fifth-seeded Knightswill face No. 13 Monterey (13-14), whichbeat fourth-seeded Sacred Heart Prep (11-16), 3-2.

Hillsdale (16-11) banged out 11 runs on14 hits in advancing to the second round.

The Woodside softball team had neverseen Presentation freshman pitcher KaiaMcCaul prior to Wednesday’s Central CoastSection Division II opener. Now theWildcats kno w the freshman left-hander is abuzz saw.

Tenth-seeded Woodside (11-12-1) man-aged just two hits in falling at No. 7Presentation 4-0. McCaul and Woodside

 junio r right-han der Kaitlyn Grech locked up

for an engaging pitching duel, but the red-hot McCaul came out on top to earn hersixth straight win of the year.

“We couldn’t find the hits today,”Woodside head coach Justine Fortes said.“We fell short on t hat today.”

Grech limited Presentation to s ix hit s, buttwo big swings of the bat by Panthers lead-off hitter Elizabeth Sko tz proved the differ-ence in the game. Entering play having hit

 just two home runs on the year, Skotz dou-bled that total Wednesday with a pair of bombs, including a leadoff homer in the

bottom of the first.Fortes said the scouting report on

Presentation was that of a slapping, small-ball team. Skotz dispelled that notion withthe Panthers’ first swing of the afternoon,as she connected with a drop ball to boom along liner over the head of Wildcats centerfielder Ozzy Aranda to giv e the Panthers a 1 -0 lead.

Grech allowed just one other hit throughthe opening four frames. But in the fifth,Skotz struck again. With one out, PanthersNo. 9 hi tter Nicola Recker — who went 2 for

3 on the day — banged a hard grounderthrough the middle of the infield for a sin-gle. Then Skotz turned on a curveball anddrilled it down the right-field line for a t wo-run homer.

“[Skotz] has been in a little bit of aslump,” Presentation head coach BrianNiskanen said. “But I had a feeling, so I kep ther [in the l eadoff spot] and it paid off.”

Niskanen said he has been high on hisfreshman hurler McCaul all season. The

COYOTE POINTA R M O R Y

southpaw had big shoes to fill, taking over for a four-yearvarsity pitcher in Lorena Ukanwa, who just finished herfreshman season at Amherst Col lege-Massachusetts and wasin attendance at Wednesday’s playoff game.

McCaul suffered some bumps and bruises through the earlypart of the season, but she has been dominating as of late.But Wednesday’s gem — her second consecutive shutoutwhile running her scoreless-inning streak to 16 — was herfinest outing of the year.

Both the hits surrendered by McCaul came off the bat of Aranda, who s corched a two-out s ingl e in the t hird and addeda leadoff infield sin gle in the si xth . But Woodside didn’t gether beyond first b ase either time. The Wildcats saw just o nerunner in scoring position all day when sophomore DesyFlores got hit by a pitch and moved to second base on agroundout.

“Usually their bats get lit up and they’re able to catch up… and then it’s just co ntagio us,” Fortes said. “But we didn’thave any follow-up hits. So, it didn’t happen for us today.”

Woodside was hyper-aggressive at the plate, trying to jump on McCaul early in co unts. The strategy was an i nten -tional one as not to get backed into two-strike counts andhave to contend McCaul’s changeup.

“Our hitting coach told us not to get into the 1-2, 0-2counts because the other pitcher has a really good change-up,” Woodside senior Alexis Riccardi s aid. “He said just s tayaway and be aggressive and try to g et as goo d a swing as youcan.”

The only senior in the lineup for Woodside in the team’ssecond CCS playoff appearance in as many years, Riccardiwent out by catching a solid start by Grech, whose recordfell to 10-8.

“She pitch ed really well,” Riccardi sai d. “She pit ched wellagainst hard hitters and her curveball was working reallywell today.”

Not only did the Wildcats have just the one senior in thelineup, they started just three upperclassmen, along with

 junio rs Grech an d Sammy Carlos . Otherwise, Woodsi de i spredominant ly an underclassman team that st ill managed to

battle into th e postseason with an overall record right at t he.500 mark.

“We do have a very young team so it was tough to predictif we would come this far,” Grech said. “But we definitelycame a long way.”

Following the game, Woodside retired to its traditionalteam banquet to close t he y ear. At t he annual awards ceremo-ny, Grech was named the team MVP; sopho more third base-man Paige Blackwell was awarded the Silver Bat as theteam’s top hitter; and Riccardi was awarded the team’sGolden Glov e for th e second cons ecutive year.
