A 19-year-old Turlock resident has beenordered to stand trial in the fatal stabbing of
his friend in Belmont in April, San MateoCounty prosecutors said Thursday.
Timothy Guerra went before San MateoCounty Superior Court Judge Richard DuBoison Wednesday for the preliminary hearing,where three prosecution witnesses testifiedand Guerra’s side presented no evidence, pros-ecutors said.
Guerra moved in March to Belmont wherethe victim, 19-year-old College of San Mateostudent Denis Meshchyshyn, was living. Thetwo became friends through mutual acquain-tances, according to prosecutors.
Guerra allegedly had a dispute withMeshchyshyn over $10 about a week beforethe killing, prosecutors said.
Guerra gave $10 to the victim, who prom-ised to give Guerra a ride to a concert. Guerraallegedly became angry because
Meshchyshyn did not fol-low through on the prom-ise, prosecutors said.
District Attorney SteveWagstaffe said Guerra’sanger over the money and
promise may have been amotive in the killing.
Guerra learned that hisfriends would be visitingwith the victim behind the
Wendy’s restaurant at 698 Ralston Ave. onApril 25, according to prosecutors.
Guerra came to the gathering and allegedlystabbed Meshchyshyn multiple times in theabdomen and back, prosecutors said.
The victim died at Stanford Hospital,according to prosecutors.
Guerra fled after the attack and authoritiesarrested him on April 29 in Turlock, prosecu-tors said.
Guerra is being held without bail and willappear in court again Oct. 8, prosecutors said.
His attorney Mara Feiger was not immedi-ately available to comment on the case.

SAN ANDREAS — Federal authoritiesvowed Friday to help residents recover fromone of the most destructive wildfires in memo-ry in California, and fire officials called againfor improved evacuation planning in prepara-tion for the next fires.
Officials from the Small BusinessAdministration and the Federal EmergencyManagement Agency appeared at a news con-ference in San Andreas, urging residents of Calaveras County to register for help with tem-porary housing as they clear debris and rebuild.
“When your home burns up, all your memo-ries are gone,” said Timothy Scranton, a feder-al coordinating officer assigned to the wildfire.“So we want to be here.”
The fire, along with another massive blaze inLake County north of San Francisco, promptedPresident Barack Obama to declare major dis-asters in California. The declarations clear theway for release of federal money for cleanupand recovery. In addition, California’sDepartment of Finance announced Friday thatit was transferring $10 million from the state’srainy day fund to help pay for cleanup involv-ing the two fires.

open for a century, according to co-owner Janet Martin.
These traditional methods haveallowed the family-owned businessto remain connected with an evolv-ing demographic of customers liv-ing in a constantly changing com-
munity, she said.Martin, who runs the company
with her husband Carl and sisterKristen Benson, celebrated the100th birthday of the art gallery andframing store, located at 244Primrose Road, with theBurlingame community on Friday,Sept. 18.
Janet Martin and Benson inherit-ed the business from their parentsJohn and Martha Benson, who pur-chased it from the companyfounders in 1955.
As the second generation of fam-ily owners ushers the company intoa second century, Janet Martin saidshe is tremendously proud.
“We are really lucky we have
such wonderful community thathave allowed us to stay open andsupported us,” she said.
While essentially growing up inthe shop, Janet Martin said she hasseen the art and framing industrychange tremendously as onlinecommerce has become increasinglypopular.
Carl Martin concurred, and saidthe increased competition fromwebsites has driven out many of theother framing and art stores whichused to be open locally, as he saidthe Studio Shop is the only businessof its kind left in Burlingame.
The type of personalized servicethe 10 workers at the store strive tooffer customers helps separate the
local store from its competition,said Janet Martin.
And though the cost of tailoredservice may cost more than bulkretailers or online merchants, JanetMartin said the initial investmentmay pay dividends in the long run.
“You will only have to buy itonce, because you have it doneright,” she said.
But specialty services such as pic-ture framing or art sales tend to dipwith dives in the economy, notedCarl Martin, which makes the com-pany’s perseverance through tougheconomic times such as the burst of the dot-com bubble or GreatRecession especially notable.
And should the market becomechallenging again, that is when a lit-tle time-tested wisdom comes inhandy, said Janet Martin.
That sage advice comes from hermother, Martha Benson, now 86,who still periodically swings by thestore during her daily strolls, shesaid.
Martha Benson and her husbandpurchased The Studio Shop fromRalph and Dorothy Crawford, whofounded the company in 1915, andhas seen it flourish during boomtimes, and survive during tight peri-ods.
Her mother’s extensive experi-ence running the shop informs herperspective that despite rough
stretches, the company is in goodhands and will continue to survive,said Janet Martin.
The former owner is proud of thesuccess of the company she built,said Janet Martin, and the fashionthe family’s next generation is guid-ing it into a new era.
“She approves,” said Carl Martin,of his mother-in-law.
Janet Martin said she too is ful-filled by the company’s success andendurance.
“It feels really good,” she said. “Itis an accomplishment.”
Kristen Benson agreed, but saidthe ability of the store to survive themyriad hurdles it has met in the last100 years is not a coincidence.
She credits the ability of the man-agement team to share responsibili-ty and excel in their own individualfields of expertise as a contributingfactor to the shop’s perseverance.

NEW YORK — Sweeping through the
landmarks of America’s biggest city,Pope Francis on Friday offered comfortto 9/11 victims’ families at ground zero,warnings to world leaders at the UnitedNations and encouragement to school-children in Harlem as he mixed the highand low ministry so characteristic of hispapacy.
In the early evening, he led a jubilantparade through Central Park past a crowdof about 80,000 and celebrated Mass atMadison Square Garden, usually the siteof basketball games and rock concerts butthis time the scene of a solemn servicecelebrating New York in all its diversity.
“Living in a big city is not alwayseasy,” Francis told 18,000 people at theGarden, easily one of the most respectfulcrowds the arena has ever seen. “Yet bigcities are a reminder of the hidden riches
present in our world in the diversity of itscultures, traditions and historical experi-ences.”
Francis’ itinerary for his only full dayin New York was packed with contrastsbefitting a head of state dubbed the “slumpope” for his devotion to the poor. Hemoved from the corridors of power to thegrit of the projects with lush Central Parkin between.
He drew huge, adoring crowds whilealso managing to connect one-on-onewith countless New Yorkers, despiteextraordinarily tight security that closedoff many streets and kept most spectators
behind police barricades.“As he passed by, you passed a cool,refreshing peace, as if he were spreadinga huge blanket of peace through thecrowd,” Ruth Smart of Brooklyn said of the procession in Central Park. “Eventhough the crowd exploded in a roar, itwas pure joy.”
On Saturday morning, he flies toPhiladelphia for a big Vatican-sponsoredrally for Catholic families. As many as 1million people are expected for the clos-ing Mass on Sunday, the last day of Francis’ six-day, three-city visit to theU.S., the first of his life.
As Friday’s Mass came to a close with
a sustained and thunderous roar of applause, the toll of the long day seemedevident as an exhausted Francis walkedwith assistance down the stairs of thealtar.
In his speech at the U.N., the popedecried the destruction of the environ-ment through a “selfish and boundlessthirst for power and material prosperity.”
He declared the environment itself hasrights, and that mankind has no authorityto abuse them, presenting his environ-mental mantra live before world leadersin hopes of spurring concrete commit-ments at the upcoming climate-changenegotiations in Paris.

WASHINGTON — Gen. MartinDempsey stepped down as the military’stop officer Friday, after four tumultuousyears of war, budget cuts and the strainsof combat on a battle-worn force.
He turned over his responsibilities toMarine Gen. Joseph Dunford, who istaking over at a crucial point, as tensionssurge with Russia, U.S. troops wage waragainst militants in Iraq, Syria andAfghanistan, and the effort to train andequip Syrian rebels struggles to find afooting.
The transfer of responsibility tookplace during anafternoon of march-ing bands, Irishsongs, speeches andmilitary pompFriday, under cloudyskies at Joint BaseMyer -HendersonHall, Va., withPresident Barack
Obama and other senior defense leadersand military commanders in the audi-ence.
Dempsey, a well-respected, combat-hardened officer, took over as Obama’s
top military adviser in September 2011,as the war in Afghanistan was beginningto wind down and the last U.S. troopswere coming out of Iraq. At the time,one of his key concerns was the impend-ing budget cuts, and how the militaryservices would get leaner without harm-ing their readiness for war.
But times rapidly changed, as heworked to help an often divided admin-istration reach agreements on a numberof contentious issues, including the paceof the military drawdown inAfghanistan, the scope of the militarymissions in Iraq and Syria, and the typesof aid to provide Ukraine in its battleagainst Russian separatists.

Obama, China’s Xi agreeto curb economic cyberspying
WASHINGTON — Skeptical of Chinese assurances oncyberspying, President Barack Obama on Friday laid out a
fresh threat of sanctions for economic espi-onage emanating from China, even as heand President Xi Jinping pledged theircountries would not conduct or supportsuch hacking.
“The question now is: Are words fol-lowed by action?” Obama said, standingalongside Xi at a White House news con-ference.
Obama’s wariness underscored deepU.S. concerns about what officials say isChina’s massive cyber campaign to stealtrade secrets and intellectual property fromAmerican companies. While China haspublicly denied being behind such activi-ties, U.S. officials say their counterparts inBeijing have begun to take the matter moreseriously, as well as the potential impact onties with Washington.
“Confrontation and friction are not theright choice for both sides,” Xi said, speak-ing through an interpreter.
The spying tensions cast a shadow over Xi’s state visit toWashington, a grand affair complete with a formal welcome
ceremony and a black-tie dinner. Obama faced criticism fromsome Republicans for honoring China with a state visit giventhe cyber concerns, as well as U.S. worries about Beijing’shuman rights abuses and assertive posture in territorial disputesin the East and South China Seas.
Officials: More work emailsfrom Clinton’s private account
WASHINGTON — The Obama administration has discov-ered a chain of emails that Hillary Rodham Clinton failed to turn
over when she provided what she said wasthe full record of work-related correspon-dence as secretary of state, officials saidFriday, adding to the growing questionsrelated to the Democratic presidential front-runner’s unusual usage of a private emailaccount and server while in government.
The messages were exchanged with
retired Gen. David Petraeus when he head-ed the military’s U.S. Central Command,responsible for running the wars in Iraq
and Afghanistan. They began before Clinton entered office andcontinued into her first days at the State Department. Theylargely pertained to personnel matters and don’t appear to dealwith highly classified material, officials said, but their exis-tence challenges Clinton’s claim that she has handed over theentirety of her work emails from the account.

WASHINGTON — PlungingCongress into deeper turmoil, HouseSpeaker John Boehner abruptlyannounced his resignation Friday,shutting down a tea party drive todepose the nation’s highest-ranking
Republican but opening up freshtroubles for the GOP.
The 13-term Ohio lawmaker, sec-ond in line to the presidency, shockedhis rank-and-file when he told themof his plans in an emotional closed-door meeting. He said he would stepdown from the speaker’s job he’sheld for nearly five years, and fromCongress, at the end of October.
One important result: A govern-ment shutdown threatened for nextweek is all but sure to be averted —but only for now. A new Decemberdeadline and a potentially market-rat-tling fight over the government’s bor-rowing limit still lie ahead.
Boehner’s announcement cameone day after a high point of his con-
gressional career, a historic speech byPope Francis to Congress at thespeaker’s request.
It also came before what wouldhave been a new low: a potentialfloor vote to oust him as speaker,pushed by Republican tea partyersconvinced he was capitulating in astruggle over Planned Parenthoodfunding that threatened a governmentshutdown next Thursday. Such a for-mal challenge against a speaker hasnot been used in the House for over100 years.
On Friday, an upbeat Boehnerdeclared that he’d decided to sparethe House, and himself, the chaossuch a vote would bring.
“It’s become clear to me that thisprolonged leadership turmoil woulddo irreparable harm to the institu-tion,” he said.
“I don’t want my members to haveto go through this. I certainly don’twant the institution to go throughthis,” he said. Of his resignation, hesaid, “Frankly, I am entirely comfort-able doing it” — and he broke into abrief refrain of “Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah” to demonstrate his point.
Even as he announced his plans toleave, Boehner told lawmakers theycould expect to vote next week onlegislation to fund the governmentthrough Dec. 11 with Planned
Parenthood funding intact, a bill like-ly to pass with Democratic help,notwithstanding conservative com-plaints.
So no shutdown for now. But
Boehner will leave behind a stack of other problems, including the newDecember funding deadline, a crucialhighway bill, and the annual battleover the federal borrowing limit.
And it’s not clear that the nextspeaker will have any easier timetaming the unruly tea party lawmak-ers who forced Boehner out despitethe largest GOP majority in 84years, or making the deals with theWhite House and SenateRepublicans that Boehner habituallycut to keep the gears of government
running.Although a disorderly leadership
race is certain for some of the top jobs, the likeliest contender to replaceBoehner is his current No. 2,Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy of California, whom Boehner endorsedon Friday, saying he “would make anexcellent speaker.”
After Boehner’s announcement,President Barack Obama praised himas “a good man” and a patriot.
“Maybe most importantly, he’ssomebody who understands that ingovernment and governance, youdon’t get 100 percent of what youwant,” the president said. “We canhave significant differences on issuesbut that doesn’t mean you shut down
the government.”With his relaxed and sociable
demeanor, love of golf and well-known tendency to cry in public,Boehner was popular among HouseRepublicans. But though he is alsoknown as a strong conservative, histactics were never confrontationalenough to satisfy the most conserva-tive faction.
He said he had planned all along toannounce in November that he wasresigning at the end of this year, buthad not said so publicly. After emo-tional moments Thursday at thepope’s side, he woke up Friday morn-ing and decided now was the time.
A number of conservative lawmak-ers cheered the news. “We need bold
leadership, and this gives us a chanceto get it,” said Rep. Louie Gohmert of Texas.
Outside tea party groups alsodeclared victory, underscoring aschism between conservative basevoters and establishment leaders thathas made Boehner and SenateMajority Leader Mitch McConnellnearly as scorned in some quarters of the GOP as Obama himself.

RISE TO POWER
The Republicans captured control of the House inthe 2010 midterm elections, propelled by thebirth of the tea party and anger at PresidentBarack Obama.Already his party’s House leader,Boehner was set to rise to the top job: speaker of the House.Overcome with emotion on election night, hetold his troops,“We have real work to do,and thisis not a time for celebration.”NO GR ND B RG IN
In 2011, Boehner and Obama met secretly inhopes of negotiating a “grand bargain”that wouldrein in the nation’s spending, raise some taxesand fix the finances of social programs such asMedicaid.The talks fell through.Each side blamedthe other.
That increased the risk of stumbling into a mar-ket-rattling default on the nation’s debts. HouseRepublicans refused to vote to raise the nation’sborrowing limit unless Obama agreed to anequivalent roster of spending cuts.
The standoff caused turmoil in the stock marketand led the rating agency Standard & Poor’s to
downgrade the nation’s credit rating for the firsttime ever.Congress and Obama averted a shutdown withan agreement that tried to dump the big deci-sions about spending and taxes to a so-called“budget supercommittee.”But that panel’s fail-ure led to crunching automatic cuts.After Obama won re-election the following year,
he and Boehner tried and failed again to cometo agreement.The White House instead negoti-ated a deal with the Senate to raise tax rates onupper-bracket earners, and Boehner brought itbefore the House rather than allow Bush-era taxcuts to expire entirely.GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN
In the fall of 2013, Boehner stood back as hisparty’s most strident conservatives pushed a strat-egy that led to a 16-day partial shutdown of theU.S.government.Against Boehner’s better judgment, House Re-publicans insisted any bill to keep thegovernment running must also defund or insome way hobble Obama’s landmark health careoverhaul.Senate Democrats refused.More than 800,000 federal workers were senthome,and polls show Republicans bore the bruntof the blame.Eventually the House agreed to reopen the gov-ernment without achieving any victory over theprogram that its foes branded “Obamacare.”LE DERSHIP CH LLE NGES
Boehner put down a challenge to his leadership
in January 2013, when a band of conservativesstaged a mini-revolt. They accused him of sur-rendering in their feuds with Democrats.TwelveRepublicans refused to vote for Boehner, a rarelevel of protest from within a speaker’s own party.
Two years later,twice as many party members —25 — defected from Boehner.Still,he kept his job,with no realistic alternative on offer.
But the dissent marred his speakership and lefthim open to talk in recent days of another con-servative uprising against him.Boehner said Friday he had no doubts he wouldhave survived a challenge to his leadership, buthad been quietly planning to step down by theend of this year,anyway,and didn’t want to putthe party through unnecessary turmoil.WELCOMING POPE
One of Boehner’s final acts as speaker was a pow-erfully personal moment.Boehner,who is Roman Catholic,tried for 20 yearsto get a pontiff to address Congress — some-thing that had never happened before Thursday,when Boehner welcomed Pope Francis to theHouse chamber and stood with him on a Capitolbalcony overlooking a cheering throng of tensof thousands.Boehner,visibly moved as he met with the pope,later called it a “wonderful day.”On Friday he described the “really emotional mo-ment that really no one saw.”“As the pope and I were getting ready to exit the
building,we found ourselves alone.And the popegrabbed my left arm, and said some very kindwords to me about my commitment to kids andeducation. And the pope puts his arm aroundme,and kind of pulls me to him and says,‘Pleasepray for me.’“Well,who am I to pray for the pope?”Boehnersaid.“But I did.”

WASHINGTON — The news of House Speaker John Boehner’s res-ignation brought hundreds of reli-gious conservatives to their feet tocheer — and one after another,much of the Republican Party’spresidential class joined Friday intheir rejoicing.
“I’m not here to bash anyone, butthe time has come to turn the page,”said Florida Sen. Marco Rubio,
who shared the stunning develop-ment with the crowd at the annualValue Voters forum in Washington,where the rowdy cheers spanned 30seconds.
Emboldened tea party leadersacross the nation celebrated, too,on a remarkable day for a GOPstarkly divided between its ardentideologues and its pragmaticestablishment. With less than fivemonths before Iowa’s presidentialcaucuses, Boehner’s downfallserved as a victory for its conser-vative wing and a rallying cry forthose who seek to ride its frustra-
tions to the White House.“If we are splintered, a moderate
establishment candidate runs up themiddle with 23 percent of the vote,steals the nomination and then losesto Hillary Clinton in the generalelection,” said Texas Sen. TedCruz. “We have a simple taskbefore us. If conservatives unite,we win.”
The Republican establishmentrepeatedly beat back conservativechallenges in the 2014 midtermelections, helping to give theirparty control of both chambers of Congress. Conservatives have been
deeply frustrated ever since, partic-ularly as President Barack Obamaenjoyed victories over congression-al Republicans on health care, theIran nuclear agreement and effortsto block federal funding to PlannedParenthood.
“John Boehner’s decision toresign ... is a victory for the mil-lions of grassroots conservativeswho worked tirelessly to elect con-servatives to control the Congress,”said Jenny Beth Martin, presidentof the Tea Party Patriots.
Cruz, among his party’s leadingagitators on Capitol Hill, said the
political establishment inWashington “wants conservativessplintered.” He led the celebrationof Boehner’s departure at the ValueVoters forum by lashing out at con-gressional Republicans for notfighting hard enough for conserva-tive priorities.
“You want to know how mucheach of you terrify Washington?”Cruz asked the crowd. “Yesterday,John Boehner was speaker of theHouse. Y’all come to town andsomehow that changes. My onlyrequest is, ‘can you come moreoften?’”

Kevin McCarthy is realistwith conservative appeal
Next in line?
By Andrew TaylorTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Rep. Kevin McCarthy has risen to the
upper reaches of House leadership mostly on the basis of hispeople skills and political smarts rather than his policy chops.
The California Republican, who is the overwhelmingfavorite to succeed John Boehner as speaker, has relied onthose skills to navigate the treacherous waters of the fractiousGOP conference.
But they won’t change the unpleasant reality of the limitsthe tea party-driven House confronts in a capital city dominat-ed by a Democratic president — and the resulting frustrationfor conservatives who stormed Washington on a wave of opposition to President Barack Obama.
Like Boehner, McCarthy is a realist. But conservatives frus-trated with Boehner’s willingness to strike deals withDemocrats see an ally in McCarthy, who cut his teeth as anaide to powerful former Rep. Bill Thomas, whose seat he eas-ily won in 2006.
“Kevin has done a great job of reaching out to conserva-tives,” said Rep. Mick Mulvaney, R-S.C., among those whohelped push Boehner out. “It’s fair to say that if Kevin were torun he would be able to draw votes from across the confer-ence.”
In the hours after Boehner’s shocking announcement,McCarthy stayed quiet, but GOP lawmakers said he was alikely bet to win the top job. Unlike Boehner or previousDemocratic speakers like Tom Foley of Washington or JimWright of Texas, McCarthy has never chaired a committee —and lacks a signature legislative accomplishment like the NoChild Left Behind education law that Boehner help shepherdthrough Congress during President George W. Bush’s firstterm.
But the 50-year-old McCarthy has thrived in the rough-and-tumble world of House Republicans, raising money for law-makers across the spectrum, listening on end to the sometimesunreasonable demands of tea party lawmakers and sensingwhich way the political winds are blowing.
VW taps head of Porsche tobe new CEO amid emissions scandal
BERLIN — Volkswagen’s board appointed the head of itsPorsche unit as CEO on Friday, handing longtime companyinsider Matthias Mueller the task of trying to lead the world’stop-selling automaker past a growing emissions scandal.
The company also said it was suspending some employeesand would reorganize its North America operations afteradmitting it used a piece of engine software to cheat on dieselcar emissions tests in the U.S.
The decisions come after the previous CEO, MartinWinterkorn, quit the job this week over the scandal, which hasshredded the company’s reputation.
The company could be heavily fined and hit with class-action lawsuits costing billions. It will also have to fix pro-gramming it has said is in some 11 million cars worldwide, farmore than the 482,000 identified last week by U.S. authorities.
Saudi Arabia accused ofneglect over deadly disaster at hajj
MINA, Saudi Arabia — Saudi Arabia faced new accusationsof neglect Friday in the hajj disaster that killed over 700 peo-ple, the second tragedy at this year’s pilgrimage overseen bythe kingdom’s rulers who base their legitimacy in part on pro-tecting Islam’s holiest sites. Leading the criticism was region-al Shiite powerhouse Iran, which always seeks an opportunityto undermine its Sunni adversary.
Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said in New York that atleast 140 Iranians were killed. He suggested that “ineptitude”by the Saudi authorities involved in organizing the hajj was toblame for the two accidents this month that have resulted in atleast 830 deaths.

BUDAPEST, Hungary — SoutheasternEurope’s squabbling leaders movedFriday to ease the border tensions thathave escalated for more than a week sinceHungary sought to slow the flood of asy-lum seekers through its territory.
Croatia reopened its main cargo cross-ing Friday with Serbia after heatedexchanges between the two formerYugoslav states. The decision came hoursafter Hungarian Prime Minister ViktorOrban pledged to consult with govern-ments in the region before moving aheadwith plans to build a fence along theCroatian border.
The concessions came shortly after aEuropean Union summit on the migrantcrisis, suggesting that the 28-nation blochad become alarmed at the lack of coop-eration between neighboring govern-ments and the increasingly ugly tone of their exchanges. Just hours before Croatiaannounced its decision, a senior EU offi-cial appealed to authorities in Zagreb tochange their minds.
“This crisis is of global dimension,”
Johannes Hahn, commissioner for region-al policy, told reporters in Belgrade, theSerbian capital.
Hungary’s closure of its border withSerbia on Sept. 15 triggered a dominoeffect that sent those fleeing theirhomelands scurrying from oneEuropean border to the next as they
tried to reach Western Europe.Croatia at first welcomed the migrants,
thinking they would transit through toSlovenia, Austria and then Germany. ButSlovenia refused to let the people pass,leaving Croatia, one of the EU’s poorestnations, responsible for tens of thousandsof people.

UNITED NATIONS — With the bangof a gavel, international leaders approvedan ambitious 15-year plan Friday to tack-le the world’s biggest problems, fromeradicating poverty to preserving theplanet to reducing inequality. Nowcomes the tough part: Drumming up sup-port and money to achieve the goals andtransform the world.
Pope Francis gave his backing to the
new development agenda in an addressto the U.N. General Assembly before thesummit to adopt the 17-point planopened, calling it “an important sign of hope” at a very troubled time in theMiddle East and Africa.
When General Assembly PresidentMogens Lykketoft struck his gavel toapprove the development road map,leaders and diplomats from the 193U.N. member states stood and
applauded loudly.
Then, the summit immediately turnedto the real business of the three-daymeeting — implementation of the goals,which is expected to cost $3.5 trillion to$5 trillion every year until 2030.
U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moonset the stage, saying the agenda “embod-ies the aspirations of people everywherefor lives of peace, security and dignity ona healthy planet.”

NEW YORK — A late slump in healthcare stocks pushed the market to its thirdweekly loss this month.
Stocks had traded solidly higher for
most of the day, as banks, insurance com-panies and brokerage firms climbed afterFederal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen saidthat the policymakers would likely raiseinterest rates this year. The market gaveup its most of its gains in the afternoon asa sell-off in drugmakers led the healthcare sector lower.
The stock market has been volatile forthe past six weeks on worries about theimpact of slowing growth in China andother emerging markets, as well asuncertainty about the outlook for interestrates. The late sell-off on Friday pushedstocks to their third losing week in thelast four.
“This is a dangerous market that is stilllooking for direction,” said JerryBraakman, Chief Investment Officer at
First American Trust an investment man-agement firm. “Although the U.S. is con-tinuing to improve, outside the U.S., it’s
just scary.”The Standard & Poor’s 500 index fell
0.9 points, or less than 0.1 percent, to1,931.34. The Dow Jones industrial aver-age gained 113.35 points, or 0.7 percent,to 16,314.67. The Nasdaq composite fell
47.98 points, or 1 percent, to 4,686.50.
The S&P 500 closed down 1.4 percentfor the week, the Dow was 0.4 percentlower.
Shares of drugmakers began their slideon Monday when Democratic presiden-tial front-runner Hillary Rodham Clinton
pledged to stop “price gouging” in theindustry. The health care sector, a long-time favorite of investors, ended theweek with its worst weekly performancein more than four years.
Biotechnology shares in the S&P 500dropped plunged during the week, push-ing the overall health care index down5.8 percent, its worst week since August2011. Vertex Pharmaceuticals, whichfocuses on developing drugs for cysticfibrosis and viral infections, was thebiggest decliner in the index on Friday,dropping $7.83, or 7 percent, to $103.20.
The market had started the day withsolid gains as investors were encouragedby a report that showed U.S. economicgrowth was faster in the spring than pre-viously estimated.
The U.S. economy expanded at anannual rate of 3.9 percent in the April-June quarter, up from a previous estimateof 3.7 percent, the CommerceDepartment reported Friday. Thestrength came from gains in consumerspending, business investment and resi-dential construction.
Financial companies got a boost after
Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen saidthat the central bank was still likely toraise interest rates this year. She suggest-ed global economic weakness won’t besignificant enough to alter the centralbank’s plan to raise its key short-termrate from zero by December. Record lowinterest rates since the 2008 global finan-cial crisis have been a boon for stocks,underpinning a bull market that has runfor six and a half years.
The combination of higher rates and agrowing economy is good for financialcompanies. That’s because they can earnmore from making loans. Citigroup rose$1.42, or 2.9 percent, to $50.55 and Bankof America climbed 34 cents, or 2.2 per-cent, to $15.89.
“The financials are a wonderful placeto be over the next several quarters if arate rises materializes,” said Jim Russell,a portfolio manager at Bahl & GaynorInvestment Counsel.
Nike was biggest gainer in the S&P500 on Friday. The stock soared after thecompany’s earnings surpassed analyst
expectations. Nike climbed $10.21, or8.9 percent, to $125.
Volkswagen shares fell again. Thecompany named Matthias Mueller, thehead of the group’s Porsche unit, to bethe new CEO. His predecessor MartinWinterkorn quit the job this week overthe emissions scandal, which has tar-nished the company’s reputation.

WASHINGTON — The U.S. economy
grew at an even faster clip in the spring thanpreviously estimated. But that growth likelyslowed in the summer, held back by globalheadwinds and turbulent financial markets.
The overall economy expanded at an annualrate of 3.9 percent in the April-June quarter, upfrom a previous estimate of 3.7 percent, theCommerce Department reported Friday. Thenew-found strength came from additionalgains in consumer spending, business invest-
ment and residential construction.The second quarter expansion in the gross
domestic product, the economy’s total outputof goods and services, was a marked improve-ment from an anemic 0.6 percent increase inthe first quarter when the economy was bat-tered by a harsh winter.
While economists believe growth in thethird quarter has slowed to around 2.2 percentto 2.5 percent, they expect a modest accelera-tion in activity for the final three months of this year.
“Overall, the outlook on the U.S. economyfor the remainder of the year remains fairly
optimistic, supported by con-tinuing job creation, increas-ing consumer spending,improvements in the housingsector, and solid manufactur-
ing numbers,” said Jim Baird, chief invest-ment officer for Plante Moran FinancialAdvisors.
The revision in second quarter growth wasled by a boost in consumer spending, whichexpanded at a 3.6 percent rate, up from theprevious estimate of a 3.1 percent advance.The stronger result reflected increases inspending on such consumer services as healthcare and transportation.
Business investment spending was revisedhigher, reflecting increased spending on struc-tures and equipment. Residential constructiongrew at a 9.3 percent pace, even better than the7.6 percent growth estimated last month.
Friday’s report was the government’s thirdand final estimate for second quarter growth.The initial look tabbed GDP growth in thespring at 2.3 percent, which was revised up to
3.7 percent last month.Economists believe the subsequent slow-
down in the summer will reflect a reduction bybusinesses in restocking their inventories.
Once unwanted inventories are workeddown, the expectation is that growth willaccelerate again in the final quarter of the year.Economists at Macroeconomic Advisors areforecasting GDP growth of 2.7 percent in theOctober-December period.
For the whole year, economists expect a mod-est gain of around 2.2 percent, in line with themodest growth seen during the six years of thecurrent recovery. In 2014, the economy grew 2.4percent after 1.5 percent growth in 2013.
Activity has been held back this year by arise in the value of the dollar, which weakenssales of U.S. exports while making foreigngoods more competitive in the United States.

SAN FRANCISCO — For a change,Silicon Valley is buzzing about some-thing besides a sleek new device, mind-bending breakthrough or precocious bil-lionaire.
A rare visit by Indian Prime MinisterNarendra Modi this weekend has capti-vated his extensive fan club in the areaand commanded the attention of majorU.S. technology companies eager toextend their reach into a promisingoverseas market.
It will also give Modi, a Hindunationalist elected to office last year, anopportunity use the world’s high-techcapital as a pulpit to promote his plan totransform India into a hub of innova-
tion. He envisions a“Digital India,”where ubiquitoushigh-speed Internetaccess will empowerentrepreneurs tobuild software andother technologyproducts that willraise the standard of living in a country
where many households are still impov-erished.
“He’s like a rock star over here,” saidVivek Wadhwa, a fellow at StanfordUniversity’s Rock Center for CorporateGovernance who has studied SiliconValley and its reliance on immigrants inits technology-driven workforce. “He
really does seem to understand the sig-nificance and importance of tech.”Despite his popularity, Modi still
faces strident criticism from some. Agroup of more than 100 college profes-sors and other academics across theU.S. have posted an open letter on theInternet warning people to beware of Modi’s digital push. They say it couldbe a veiled attempt to enable the gov-ernment to monitor private communica-tions and suppress dissent.
“A lot of this is just very good publicrelations management,” said ThomasBlom Hansen, a Stanford Universityanthropology professor who has beenstudying India for 25 years. “All we aresaying is, ‘Hang on, it’s not as well as itlooks.”’

TRENTON, N.J. — Sticker-shockedpatients increasingly wonder whyprices for prescription drugs continueto rise in the U.S.
The issue heated up this week onnews that Turing Pharmaceuticalsraised the price of Daraprim, the onlyapproved treatment for a rare, life-threatening parasitic infection, bymore than 5,000 percent to $750 a pill.
Medical groups blasted the increase,and Democratic presidential candidateHillary Clinton called it “price goug-ing.” Turing’s CEO, former hedgefund manager Martin Shkreli, latersaid he’d make “a serious price adjust-ment.”
But the issue goes beyond a singlecompany or drug.
From 2008 through 2014, averageprices for the most widely used brand-name drugs jumped 128 percent,according to prescription benefit man-
ager Express Scripts Holding Co. In2014, it estimated that total U.S. pre-scription drug spending increased 13percent. Reasons include increasingresearch costs, insufficient competi-tion and drug shortages.
Pharmaceutical and biotech industrygroups say prescription medicinessave money by preventing costly com-plications and hospitalizations andhave long accounted for just 10 per-cent of annual U.S. health care spend-ing.
Multiple factors cause high prescription drug prices in U.S.

In a matchup featuring two of the morepotent running games in the PeninsulaAthletic League, it was all about thedefense.
The Burlingame Panthers walked awaywith a 26-14 home win over the South CityWarriors in Friday’s final primer before thestart of league play. While neither teamcould maintain an offensive rhythm, SouthCity actually outgained Burlingame 219-180 in total offense.
It was the slimmest margin of victory forthe unbeaten Panthers (4-0), who in threeprevious games outscored opponents 95-27.
“This is really the first team that pushedus to the edge, and we responded,”Burlingame head coach John Philipopoulossaid.
After South City (2-2) tied it 7-7 with4:26 remaining in the third quarter,Burlingame scored on back-to-back pos ses-sions to all but put the game out of reach.
Senior running back Joevani Garciastretched over the goal line with a 5-yard
scoring run to give the Panthers a 13-7 leadat the end of the third quarter. Then threeplays into the ensuing South City posses-sion, Burlingame free safety Vinny Ferrarinabbed an interception to give his team theball back near midfield. Five plays later,Laipeli Palu bounced off tackle to virtuallywalk into the end zone to extend thePanthers’ lead to 19-7 with 8:29 remainingin regulation.
The usually rush-oriented Panthers tot aled just 99 ground yards. Palu gain ed a game-high 54 yards on 11 carries with two touch-downs. Senior running back Ben Williams
totaled 23 yards on four carries. Garcia had21 yards on 10 carries despite having thegame’s single longest gain with a 17-yardpickup in the first half to set upBurling ame’s first score.
“We don’t need big plays all the time,”Garcia said. “We can just nickel and dime toget yards and get the [win], and that’s whatwe did today.”
Burlingame’s defense did the rest. It wasand emotionally-charged game for bothteam’s defensiv e lines, but the emotion was

San Mateo football coach Jeff Schellersaid his best defense would be his team’soffense when t he Bearcats faced cross-to wnrival Aragon Friday nigh t.
And the Bearcats showed on their firstdrive that the Dons would be in for a longnight as they too k the opening kickoff anddrove 83 yards on 15 plays, taking morethan eight minutes off the clock.
“We challenged them,” said San Mateocoach Jeff Scheller. “Our game plan was tokeep the ball o ut of their (Aragon’s) hands.”
All told, the Bearcats ran 39 plays in the
first two quarters and racked up 289 yards of offense.
But Aragon s howed its didn’t need to h oldonto to the ball that long at all. The Donsanswered right back, going 65 yards on justfour plays, with Tanner Nguyen hoo king upwith Davion Cox for a 47-yard catch-and-run for th e score.
The Dons used the big play all night long— offensively and defensively — as theybeat the Bearcats 42-28 in a back-and-forthaffair.
“I think [quick scores] are demoralizing(to the opposition),” said Aragon coachSteve Sell. “I thi nk i t adds pressure.”
Tanner Nguyen, Aragon’s senior quarter-back, put together one of the best throwingperformances in years for the Dons. Hecompleted 13 of 18 passes for 352 yards.
“His accuracy is scary,” Sell said. “Thereason we threw the ball so much, [SanMateo] declared they were going to try tostop the run.”
Devin Grant and Davion Cox were alsopretty scary. Grant caught five passes for143 yards, while Cox had six for 125,including th e 47-yard touchdown.
Aragon running back Gabe Campos hadonly four carries on the night — but hescored three times.
“[Campos] is really good,” Sell said.“He’s an ideal flyback. ”

When Katie Osborne took over CañadaCollege women’s soccer in January, she wasn’teven certain she’d be able to field a team for the2015 season.
In 2014, the Lady Colts were surprisinglydisbanded at the start of the season, with theCañada administration citing low numbers asthe reason. But after a one-year hiatus, Osborne
has reinvented the program and established it asa fast winner.Although they are currently in the midst of a
three-game losing streak, the Colts jumped outto 4-0 start through non-conference play this sea-son. That is quite theachievement in and of itself. Entering into thisseason, the Colts had onlywon two games since2011. They haven’t posteda over-.500 overall recordsince 2010, when theywent 11-7-3.
It was Osborne’s recruiting magic thatbrought the program back to life, according toCañada athletic director Mike Garcia. He saidwhen Osborne took over the team, there were
just four returning players on roster. Withinthree months time, the first-year communitycollege head coach had brought the roster to 24.
“She literally had two or three months torecruit,” Garcia said. “It’s one of the mostimpressive things I’ve seen in my 31 years atCanada.”
Garcia was integral to bridging the gap. Inlieu of disbanding the 2014 team, Garcia startedteaching a soccer class at Cañada last fall toallow the four freshmen players a chance to stayon the field. Then at the start of the springsemester, Osborne came onboard and ran withit.
“There was no guarantee we were going to beable to have team,” Osborne said. “But [the
