There’s a new twist on a decades-old festi-val marking the start of summer as theFoster City Chamber of Commerce will hostits first ever rebranded cityFEST this week-

end.From carnival rides to interactive scienceexhibits and live music to craft beers, thisweekend will provide plenty of entertain-ment for attendees of all ages.

The chamber has run the city ’s annual artand wine festival fo r 44 years before decid-ing this year to enliven the traditionalevent with activities celebrating science,technology, engineering, art and math —also kno wn as STEAM.

The weekendlong festiv al kicks off Fridaynight and will take over several blocksalong Shell Boulevard with nearly 170 ven-dors, multiple interactive exhibits and avariety of food as well as drinks . The publicis encouraged to relax in scenic areas over-looking the city’s lagoon, take in livemusic and learn about what makes up the

Foster City community, said KarenDyckman, special events coordinator withthe chamber.

“When we went from an art and wine festi-val to a cityFEST, it allowed us to truly

bring together the businesses and the com-munity and bring it into one exciting andfun activi ty where both si des can experiencewhat’s goi ng on in th e city,” Dyckman said.“We represent the businesses and the com-munity and, by tying it all together, it’sgoing to be an amazing weekend!”

The most notable feature to the newcityFEST is t he “curiosit y zone” where chil-dren and adults can interact with STEAMexhibits courtesy of various local business-es. Gilead Sciences, the city’s largestemployer, will have a molecular imaging“playground” and has helped the chambersecure an earthquake simulation modulewhere visitors can step in and experiencewhat an 8. 0 magnit ude earthquake feels li ke.Local Foster City Community EmergencyResponse Team, or CERT, members will be

on hand to an swer questio ns an d discuss dis-aster preparedness, Dyckman said.

IBM will be sponsoring a Lego exhibitwhere people can build and control robots;Hewlett-Packard will have its Sprout on dis-play, which h as a 3-D scanner and projectorthat v isit ors can test o ut. The Redwood CityTechShop — where members have access topricey high-tech tools and classes — willbe offering laser etching o f dog tags for kidsor on adults’ commemorative cityFESTglasses, Dyckman said.

Beer and wine making, 3-D printing,opportunities to create art and a computeranalysis allowing one to test out their ten-nis or golf swings are just a few of thehands-on activities. The local Boy Scouts,the San Mateo Piano store, a silent discoprovider, the city’s tennis club and morewill also be participating in a variety of exhibits with which the public is encour-aged to int eract, Dyckman said.

The revamped event will highlight busi-nesses focused in various growing STEAMsectors as well as incorporate the tradition-al carnival-style festival to which the com-munity has g rown accustomed, s aid chamberPresident Joanne Bohigi an.

“We’re looking at thin gs from fresh eyes;we’re lookin g at modernizing with the too lswe have and creating stronger identities.And ways for our businesses and communityto come together,” Bohigian said.

Mayor Herb Perez said Bohigian has beena dynamic leader for the chamber and ishopeful the redesigned event will continueto highli ght Foster City.

Hillary Clinton’s fight against rival Bernie Sanders in California has grown increasingly contentious as the Vermont senatorgains in polling.

By Michael R. Bloodand Ken ThomasTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BURBANK — Sue LaVaccare isfighting “the California complacen-cy.”

With the presidency on the line, it’sthe well-documented tendency of manyvoters in a state filled with sunshineand distractions to shrug at electiondays. And Southern California, a baseof support for Hillary Clinton, has anotoriously uneven record when itcomes to voter turnout.

“Most people know in their gut thatHillary is the most experienced,” saysLaVaccare, a 47-year-old health careconsultant and polit ical fundraiser whois organizing volunteers for Clinton

in the fiercely contested 28thCongressional District in Los AngelesCounty.

“What I think is our biggest chal-lenge,” she says, “is getting her sup-porters to actually vote.”

While Clint on n eeds a mere 71 dele-gates from several states voting onJune 7 to claim the Democratic nomi-nation, the fight against rival BernieSanders in California has grownincreasingly contentious as theVermont senator gains in polling.Both campaigns are counting onunheralded volunteers like LaVaccareto rouse their supporters.

But there is scant glamour in theoperational innards of a campaign.That’s there where volunteers armed

with computerized data punch in phon e

numbers to talk with potential voters,or sweep through neighborhoodsknocking on door after door.

In California, 475 Democratic dele-gates will be divvied up on electionday, the most of any state. Many willbe doled out based on the outcome in53 congressional districts, eachamounting to its own battleground,like the 28th, an ethnically diverse,Democrat-rich territory running fromthe tony Hollywood Hills in to the sub-urban sprawl of Burbank, a LosAngeles s uburb.

Mary Kellerman describes herself apolitical junkie who has followedBernie Sanders’ career for years. Whenshe’d see him on televi sion s he alwaysthought, “This guy needed to be run-

ning for president.”

LOS ANGELES — Hundreds of heavily armed officers swarmedthe sprawling UCLA campusWednesday following a shootingthat forced thousands to barricadethemselves in classrooms andoffices, some using belts andchairs to secure doors, untilauthorit ies determined the gunmanand singl e victi m were dead.

About two hours after the first911 call came in around 10 a.m.,with the center of campus sti ll sat-urated with officers, Los AngelesPolice Chief Charlie Beck said itwas a murder-suicide and declaredthe t hreat o ver. Two men were deadin an engineering building office,and authorities found a gun andwhat might be a suicide note, hesaid.

Authorities did not identify the

men, and a motive was not imme-diately clear.

The response to the shootingwas overwhelming: Teams of o ffi-cers in helmets and bulletproof vests look ing for vi ctims and sus-pects ran across th e normally tran-quil campus tucked in the city’sbustling west side. Some withhigh-powered rifles yelled forbystanders to flee.

Groups of officers stormed intobuildings that had been lockeddown and cleared hallways aspolice helicopters hovered over-head.

Advised by universit y text alertsto turn out the lights and lock thedoors where they were, many stu-

dents let friends and family knowthey were safe in social mediaposts. Some described franticevacuation scenes, while otherswrote that their doors weren’tlocking and posted photos of pho-tocopiers and foosball tables theyused as barricades.

It was the week before finalexams at the University of California, Los Angeles, whose43,000 students make it thelargest campus in the Universityof California system. Classeswere canceled Wednesday butwould resume Thursday.

Olivia Cabadas, a 22-year-oldnursing st udent, was gett ing readyto take a quiz in the mathematicsbuilding when her classmatesbegan getting cellphone alerts.Through a window, they could see

students rushing down the hall-way.

An officer yelled that everyoneshould get out.

“It was just a little surreal —this is actually happening,”Cabadas said. “It was chaos. ”

Those lock ed down ins ide class-rooms described a nervous calm.Some said they had to rig thedoors closed with whatever was athand because they would not l ock.

Umar Rehman, 21, was in amath sciences classroom adjacent

to Engin eering IV, th e buildingwhere the shooting took place.The buildings are connected bywalkway bridges n ear the center of the 4 19-acre campus.

“We kept our eye on t he door. Weknew that somebody eventuallycould come,” h e said, ackn owledg-

ing the terror he felt.The door would not lock and

those in the room devised a planto hold it closed using a belt andcrowbar, and demand ID from any-one who tried to get in.

Scott Waugh, an executive vicechancellor and provost, said theuniversity would look into con-cerns about doors that would notlock. Overall, he said, theresponse was s mooth.

Tanya Alam, 19 , als o was in th esame classroom with about 20other st udents. She said she saw analert on her phone that warned of police activity near EngineeringIV. Then, several minutes later, analert said there was an active

shooter.“I let that sink in. Then I real-

ized there was a sh ooter o n campusand Engineering IV is right here!So I said it out loud,” she said.

The teacher’s assistant told stu-dents to shut their laptops, turnedout all the lights and switched off the projector. They were ordered tobe quiet and got under their desks.Sittin g on the ground, Alam cried.

Students were told to put theirphones away, too, but no one did,she said. In th e darkened room, th eglow of screens illuminated manyfaces.

“On one hand, yes, this is anemergency. But on the other handwhen your mother is calling from

miles away .. .” Alam said, trailingoff.

Their entire classroom wasfinally allowed to leave. Studentswere greeted by a p halan x of SWATteam members but were notsearched.

SWAT officers cleared occu-pants one by one at the mathe-matical sciences building. Oneman walked out with his hands upand was told to get on his knees.An armed officer searched him an dhis backpack, then sent him onhis way with his hands still in t heair.

LOS ANGELES — In the min-utes after a fatal shooting at aUCLA engin eering building, pan-icked students seeking a safeplace to hi de used belts , cords andother it ems to try t o secure doorsthey said did not lock.

With rumors swirling th at therecould be as many as four shoot-ers, senior Daphne Ying, 21, andothers struggled to secure a doorthat swings out into a hallway of the building.

They tied one end of a long cordto the doorknob an d the other endto a chair bolted to the floor.Three male students stood nearthe door to pull it shut in casesomeone tried to get in.

“All of us were really s cared and

nervous,” Ying said. “We barelyspoke.”

Engineering student PranashaShrestha’s design class was end-ing across from the engineeringbuilding when students got a textalert to shelter in place. She andothers retreated to the classroomand quickl y reali zed the doors did-n’t lock.

“Doors open outward with nolocks so we had to improvise ourown locking mechanism,” the22-year-old Shrestha tweeted.

She said one clearly shakenstudent grabbed his belt andlooped it in a figure eight aroundthe door handle and a handrail,then p laced a water bott le insi de aloop to keep it taut.

Another belt, tables and chairswere used to secure a secon d door,

and the professor suggestedeveryone stand behind a concretesection of wall as protectionfrom possible bullets.

About two hours later, st udentslearned the shooting had been amurder-suicide that claimed thelives of two men and was con-fined to one o ffice.

Students posted photos andvideo of the makeshift securityon social media, sparking ques-tions over safety on the campus.

Scott Waugh, an executive vicechancellor and provost at theschool, told reporters that uni-versity officials were troubled bysome reports o f unlocked doors.

“We’ll review the locks on thedoors and any security issue thathas arisen in the course of today,”Waugh said.

WASHINGTON — The Obama administra-tion is pressuring the food industry to makefoods from breads to sliced turkey less salty,proposing long-awaited sodium guidelinesin an effort to prevent thousands of deathseach year from heart disease and stroke.

The guidelines released Wednesday by theFood and Drug Administration are volun-tary, so food companies won’t be required tocomply, and it could be a year or more beforethey are final. But the idea is to persuadecompanies and restaurants — many of which have already l owered sodium levels intheir products — to take a more consistentapproach.

It’s the first time the government has rec-ommended such limits. Sodium contentalready is included on existing food labels,but the government has not set specific

sodium recommendations. The guidelines

suggest limits for about 150 categories of foods, from cereals to pizzas and sandwich-es. There are two-year and 10-year goals.

Health officials from the FDA and theCenters for Disease Control and Preventionsaid overwhelming scientific evidenceshows that blood pressure increases whensodium intake increases, increasing thechances of heart disease and stroke. FDACommissioner Robert Califf said that manypeople may not be conscious of how muchsodium they are eating until they get sick.

“Our great hope is that this will initiate avery serious national dialogue,” he said.

Americans eat about 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt daily, or 3,400 milligrams. Thatamount hasn’t gone down over the years,and it’s about a third more than the govern-ment recommends for good health. Most of that sodium is hidden inside commonprocessed foods and restaurant meals, mak-ing it harder for consumers to control how

much they eat.

WASHINGTON — Fresh problems for“Obamacare”: The largest health insurer inTexas wants to raise its rates on individualpolicies by an average of nearly 60 per-

cent, a new sign that President BarackObama’s overhaul hasn’t solved the prob-lem of price spikes.

Texas isn’t alone. Citing financial loss-es under the health care law, many insurersaround the country are requesting biggerpremium increases for 2017.

That’s to account for lower-than-hopedenrollment, sicker-than-expected cus-tomers and problems with the govern-ment’s financial backstop for insurancemarkets.

The national picture will take weeks tofill in. With data available for about half the states, premium increases appear to besharper, but there are also huge differencesbetween states and among i nsurers. Healthinsurance is priced locally.

Earlier this week, North Carolina’s

largest ins urer said it will seek an averageincrease of 18.8 percent.

A recent analysis of nine states by theconsulting firm Avalere Health found thataverage premium increases for the mostpopular kind of p lan ranged from 5 percentin Washington state to 44 percent inVermont.

Millions of customers will be shieldedfrom price hikes b y gov ernment subsidies,which typically cover more than 70 per-cent of the premiums. People who don’thave access to a workplace plan can b uy apoli cy directly on the health l aw’s market-places.

But many consumers aren’t eligible forthe income-based subsidies and get nosuch protection. That demographicincludes small business owners, self-employed people and early retirees. Underthe law, most Americans are required tohave health i nsurance or risk bein g fined.

Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas hasabout 603,000 individual policyholdersand, unlike other insurers in the state,offers cov erage in every county.

Insurance rates are on the rise:

ELKHART, Ind. — PresidentBarack Obama went on a “myth-busting” mission Wednesdayaimed at undermining Republicanarguments about the economy,

working to give cover toDemocrats to embrace his p oliciesahead of the presidential electi on.

Officially, Obama came to thishardscrabble town in northernIndiana to illustrate how steps hetook in the first days of his presi-dency had ultimately paid off andpulled the economy back from thebrink. Yet his rally at a highschool in Elkhart blurred the linesbetween governing and campaign-ing, marking the president’s mostaggressiv e and direct foray to dateinto the roaring campaign toreplace him.

“The primary story thatRepublicans have been tellingabout the economy is not support-ed by the facts. It’s just not,”Obama said. “They repeat it a lot,

but it’s not suppo rted by th e facts.But they say it any way. Now whatis that? It’s because it has workedto get them votes.”

When Obama came to Elkhart

seven years ago on his first majorpresidential trip, the unemploy-

ment rate was soaring and theWhite House struggling to securesupport for injecting hundreds of billions of federal dollars into theeconomy. Though the economy

has improved measurably,Republicans have been reluctant

to give Obama credit.As Obama returned to Indiana,

GOP Gov. Mike Pence said thestate had recovered “in spite of Obama’s policies” — not because

of them. And the RepublicanNation al Committee dismissed his

visit as a “campaign trip”designed to help Hillary Clintonsell a weak Obama record as if itwere “really a s uccess s tory.”

So with all the vigor he dis-played on the campaign t rail yearsago, Obama attempted a nearlyline-by-line takedown of claimsRepublicans have made about his

policies holding the economyback. He dismissed those GOPvoices as “anti-government, anti-immigrant, anti-trade and let’sface it, anti-change.”

“My bigger point is t o bust thismyth of crazy, liberal governmentspending,” Obama said.“Government spending is notwhat is squeezing the middleclass.”

He avoided mentioning DonaldTrump by name, but was met withshouts of “Donald’s crazy” fromsome of the 2,000 people packedin a brightly lit gymnasium.Asked later why he rarely men-tions Trump’s name, Obama saidthe businessman is better at mar-keting himself than theDemocratic candidates.

A Honduran woman infectedwith Zika gave birth in New Jerseyto a baby girl with birth defectscaused by the v irus, her doctor saidWednesday.

The infant is the second born inthe United States with birthdefects from the mosquito-bornevirus. The first was born i n Hawaii

to a woman who had lived in

Brazil, where the Zika epidemicbegan i n th e Americas.

The Honduran woman’s babywas delivered premature by cesare-an s ection Tuesday at HackensackUniversity Medical Center, saidDr. Abdulla Al-Khan, the hospi-tal’s director of maternal-fetalmedicine and surgery.

The doctor said the 31-year-oldmother was diagnosed with Zika inher nati ve Central American coun-

try, where the virus has spread.

She traveled to New Jersey, whereshe has family, to seek furthertreatment, he said. Hospital offi-cials stressed that neither themother nor the baby poses aninfectious risk to others.

Al-Khan said the mother had anormal ultrasound early in herpregnancy, and that another onelast week showed birth defects,including microcephaly, in whichthe baby’s head is smaller than

expected because the brain hasn’t

developed properly. He said therewas a “medical need” for deliver-ing the baby at about 35 weeks of gestation, more than a month shyof full term.

“It was very sad for us to see ababy born with such a condition,”he said.

Al-Khan said the prognosis forbabies born with microcephaly,which also can signal underlyingbrain damage, is “generally very

poor.”

The mother is “hanging inthere” said Al-Khan. “But of course what human being isn’tgoing to be devastated by thisnews?”

The Zika virus causes only amild and brief illness, at worst, inmost people. In April, t he Centersfor Disease Control andPrevention said there was enoughevidence to declare that Zika caus-es microcephaly and other brain

defects.

CAMP TARIQ, Iraq — The Iraqi military’sadvance into Fallujah was stalled Wednesdayby fierce resistance from Islamic State fight-ers and concerns over protecting tens of thousands of civilians still trapped insidethe strategic city, officials said.

With the operation in its second week,convoys of special forces could only inchforward on the dusty southern outskirts of the city as a handful of airstrikes sent upplumes of white smok e above clusters of lowbuildings on the fringes of the city’s denseurban terrain.

More than 50,000 people are believed tobe still inside Fallujah, and the U.N. esti-mated that 20,000 of them are children,

warning that they face a dire humanitariansituation in addition to the risk of forcedrecruitment b y th e extremists.

In a visit to the front line, Prime MinisterHaider al-Abadi noted the slow pace andemphasized the priorities of the operationwere protecting civilian lives and minimiz-ing Iraqi casualties, but he praised theprogress s o far as a “remarkable advance.”

Government troops will “hoist the Iraqiflag insi de Fallujah in the coming few days, ”vowed al-Abadi, wearing the black fatiguesof the counterterrorism force.

The operation to free Fallujah from themore than two-year grip of th e Islamic Statewas launched May 22, and it involves theIraqi special forces, militias consisting of 

mainly Shiite fighters, and U.S.-ledairstrikes.

Retaking the Sunni-majority city 40 miles(65 kilometers) west of Baghdad would rep-resent a huge victory for the Iraqi govern-ment because Fallujah was one of the firstmajor urban areas to fall t o th e IS extremistsin 2014 and has been a bastion of supportfor militant anti-government sentiment inIraq since the 20 03 U.S.-led invasion .

In 2004, Fallujah also was the site of someof the bloodiest urban combat betweenAmerican forces and the IS g roup’s predeces-sor, al-Qaeda in Iraq. More than 100 U.S.troops died and another 1,000 were woundedfighting insurgents in house-to-house bat-tles.

“Today’s offensive on Fallujah is differentfrom the one the Americans fought i n 200 4,”

said Brig. Haider al-Obeidi. Unlike the insur-gency that U.S. forces fought in Fallujah andelsewhere in Iraq, IS fighters are operatinglike a conventional military in addition tocarrying out suicide attacks and plantinghidden bo mbs.

Progress against the IS militants has beenslow due to their intense resistance and theneed to protect the civil ians, said army Gen.Jalil al-Sharifi.

The prime minister, speaking from themain operations room at a sprawling mili-tary base just east of the center of Fallujah,said IS was using civi lians as human sh ields,and the gov ernment was urging residents toleave via safe corridors or stay inside theirhomes.

U.S. drone strike targetsal-Shabab commander in SomaliaWASHINGTON — The Pentagon says a

U.S. drone strike o n Friday targeted a seniormilitary commander of al-Shabab inSomalia. U.S. officials say they can’t con-firm yet if he was ki lled.

Pentagon press secretary Peter Cook saysthe strike targeted Abdullahi Haji Da’ud, akey coordinator of al-Shabab attacks in theregion. Da’ud also p reviously s erved as headof the group’s intelligence.

Cook says the U.S. is assessing theresults of the strike but believes removingDa’ud from the battlefield will disrupt thegroup’s effort to plan attacks.

The strike comes two months after a simi-lar drone attack in Somalia killed an al-

Shabab l eader, Hassan Ali Dhoore.

Residents return tofire-damaged Canadian city

FORT MCMURRAY, Alberta — A steadystream of traffic moved into the fire-dam-aged Canadian oil sands city of FortMcMurray on Wednesday as thousands of peopl e who fled a wildfire at the start o f Mayreturn to see what’s left.

The fire destroyed 2,400 structures, orabout 10 percent of the city, when it rippedthrough last month, forcing more than80,000 residents to flee. Officials expectthousands of evacuees to return to the cityWednesday — the first day of a staged re-entry. Residents in areas th at were not dam-aged have been asked to come first.

CAIRO — A French ship searching theMediterranean has detected black box sig-nals from a missing EgyptAir flight i n thewaters b etween t he Greek island of Crete andthe Egyptian coast, a development thatcould help so lve the myst ery of why th e air-craft crashed into t he sea last month , kil lingall 66 on board.

The discovery, announced Wednesday,could help guide search teams to the wreck-age and the flight’s data and cockpit voicerecorders, which if retrieved unharmed couldreveal whether a mechanical fault or ahijacki ng o r bomb caused the disaster.

In the two weeks since Flight 804 disap-peared from radar en route to Cairo fromParis, on ly s mall pieces of debris and humanremains have been retrieved from the crashsite. No terrorist group has claimed respon-sibility, t hough Egypt’s civil aviation min-

ister, Sherif Fathi, has said terrorism is amore likely cause th an equipment failure orsome other catastrophic event.

The flight recorders will be critical todetermining whether the disaster was causedby an accident or a deliberate act.

Equipped with sophisticated underwater

sensors, the French naval vessel Laplacehad been taking part in the search for themissing Airbus A320 since last week. OnWednesday, the Egyptian agency leadingthe inquiry into the crash said the ship hadreceived signals “from the seabed of thewreckage search area, assumed to be fromone o f the data recorders.”

Hours later, the French company Alseamarconfirmed that its equipment aboard theship had detected signals from one of theblack bo x recorders.

It said the naval vessel started searchingfor the sign als at midday Tuesday, an d “lessthan 24 hours were necessary ... to locatesignals from one of the recorders of flightMS804.”

U.S. stocks perked up after adownbeat start to eke out a smallgain Wednesday.

Consumer companies wereamong the big gainers on a day

when investors sized up a mixedbag of new data on the U.S. manu-facturing, housing and automobi leindustries. Telecommunicationsstocks lagged the rest of the mar-ket.

Investors have been looking forclues in the latest economic fig-ures to gauge the likelihood thatthe Federal Reserve will raise itskey interest rate at the centralbank’s next meeting of policy-makers later this month.

“The market is in a holding pat-tern,” s aid Quincy Krosby, marketstrategist at Prudential Financial.“Everything now is being viewedvia the eye of the Fed in order toascertain whether and if we get arate hike th is s ummer.”

The Dow Jones industrial aver-age rose 2.47 poi nts, or 0. 01 per-cent, to 17,789.67. The Standard& Poor’s 500 index added 2.37points, or 0.1 percent, to2,0 99. 33. The index remains with-in 2 percent of its all-time high setin May 2015.

The Nasdaq composite indexgained 4.20 points, or 0.1 per-cent, to 4,952.25.

The latest gains helped nudgethe Dow and S&P 500 higher forthe year. The Dow is up 2.1 per-cent, while the S&P 500 is up 2.7

percent. The Nasdaq is off 1.1 per-cent.

The major sto ck indexes openedlower on Wednesday, echoing aslide in markets in Europe and Asiaas traders considered new reportson China’s manufacturing sector,including one suggestin g a weaker

outlook for the nation’s factories.Investors also go t an early looka mix of new U.S. data. TheCommerce Department said con-struction spending fell in April bythe biggest amount in five years,dragged down by declines in hous-ing, commercial construction andspending on government projects.

Separately, car shopping siteKelly Blue Book projected thatU.S. auto sales slumped 7 percentin May, usually one of thestrongest months of the year forthe U.S. auto industry. The drop isthe biggest monthly sales declinesince August 2010 .

Most major automakers reportedlower sales in May compared tothe same month a year ago, in clud-ing General Motors and FordMotors. Shares in GM lost $1.0 6,or 3.4 percent, to $30.22, whileFord slid 38 cents, or 2.8 percent,to $13.11.

Auto dealership chain CarMaxalso took a hit, dropping $1.57,or about 3 p ercent, to $52. 09.

Meanwhile, the Institute of Supply Management s aid that U.S.factories expanded for the st raightmonth i n May, helped by a weakerU.S. dollar.

“It’s another data point in thedirection of things being OK,”said Jason Pride, director of investment strategy at Glenmede.

Investors’ outlook perked up b ylate afternoon around the timewhen the Federal Reserve releasedits latest Beige Book, a snapshotof the U.S. economy that the cen-

tral bank’s policymakers use toinform their actions.

Another key factor: the govern-ment’s next monthly update onnonfarm hiring, due out Friday.

“It’s been a mixed picture, butwith enough elements in the pic-ture to keep th e Fed in pl ay to raise

rates,” Krosby said.Beyond economic data,investors kept an eye on compa-nies reporting quarterly results oroutlooks.

Michael Kors led all companiesin the S&P 500 index, climbing6.6 percent after it reported thatstrong online sales and new storelocations helped boost its fiscalfourth-quarter revenue. The retail-er’s results topped Wall Street’sexpectations. The stock gained$2.83 to $45.55.

Cracker Barrel vaulted 8.4 per-cent after the restaurant chain

reported strong earnings growthfor its fiscal third quarter. Thestock added $12.74 to $16 4.22.

Other companies didn’t fare aswell.

Under Armour slumped 3.9 per-cent after the sports apparel makerslashed its full-year revenue guid-ance, saying that the closure of Sports Authority stores will hurtits sales. A bankruptcy courtrecently decided to app rove th e liq-uidation of privately held SportsAuthority, which sold UnderArmour goods, rather than arestructuring o r sale. Under Armourshed $1.48 to $36 .25.

Markets in Europe closed lower.Germany’s DAX fell 0.6 percent,while France’s CAC 40 slid 0.7percent. Britain’s FTSE 100 lost0.6 percent. The downbeat data onChina’s factories weighed on mar-kets in the world’s second-largesteconomy and elsewhere in Asia.

Hong Kong’s Hang Seng indexfell 0.3 percent. Japan’s Nikkei

225 finished 1.6 percent lower,while South Korea’s Kospi slip pedless than 0.1 percent. Australia’sS&P/ASX 200 slumped 1 percent.

Benchmark U.S. crude oilslipped 9 cents to close at $49.01a barrel in New York. Brent crude,which is used to price int ernation-al oils, slid 17 cents to close at$49.72 a barrel in London.

In other energy futures trading,natural gas rose 9 cents, or 4.1 p er-cent, to close at $2.38 per 1,000cubic feet. Wholesale g asoline waslittle changed at $1.62 a gallonand heating oil was also flat at$1.50 a gallon.

SAN FRANCISCO — Uber saidWednesday it is getting a massivecash in fusion from Saudi Arabia.

The oil-rich nation’s sovereigninvestment fund is putting $3.5billion in to the global transporta-tion company, and will get a seaton Uber’s b oard of directors.

Funding for new tech companieshas been slowing down in recentmonths amid concerns that many

startups have been over-valued.But San Francisco-based Uber hasbeen able to raise billions of dol-lars as it pursues ambitious plansto expand around the world.

Uber says its internet-basedride-hailing service now operatesin nine countries of the MiddleEast, one of its fastest-growingmarkets. Eighty percent of its p as-sengers in Saudi Arabia arewomen. The country doesn’t allowwomen to drive.

The Saudi money is part of alarger round of funding b y s everal

investors, which valued Uber at$62.5 billion. The company,which has raised well over $1 4 bil -lion since its founding in 2009,says it now has more than $11 bil-lion in cash and available credit tofund its expansion.

Uber’s regional rivals have alsoreported big investments thisyear, as on-demand ride serviceshave grown in popularity. Applerecently invested $1 billion inChina’s Didi Chuxing, whileGeneral Motors has put $500 mil-lion into U.S.-based Lyft.

Uber raises $3.5B from Saudi investment fundForbes: Formerrichest self-made U.S.woman now worth nothing

NEW YORK — Forbes hasrevised the net worth of th e womanit crowned America’s richest self-made woman last year from $4.5billion to nothing.

Forbes says its estimate of Elizabeth Holmes’ wealth is basedentirely on her 50 percent st ake introubled blood-testing startupTheranos. The company acknowl-edged in April th at it ’s under inves-tigation by several regulators andagencies following a series of 

reports b y The Wall Street J ournalin which former employees saidthe company’s tests were unreli-able. The tests use only a fewdrops of blood.

Theranos said the articles wereinaccurate when they were pub-lished.

Forbes says its previous esti-mate of her wealth came from a $9billion valuation for the companyin 2014.

Pittsburgh’s Bryan Rust, left, and San Jose’s Melker Karlsson battle for possession of the puck in Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Finals.

Sharks come home down 0-2

Alot of Penins ula Athleti c Leaguesports fans can identify thechampion o f a given spo rt. Who

won the 201 5 PAL Bay Division footballtitle? There was a three-way tie betweenBurling ame, Menlo-Atherton and SacredHeart Prep. PAL Ocean girl s’ soccerchamp? Terra Nova. The PAL LakeDivision baseball winner? San Mateo.

But can you name the best athletic pro-gram, ov erall, in theentire PAL? Well,there is a formula for

that. As under-the-radar as the NACDALearfield SportsDirectors’ Cup— the award giventhe best Division Iathletic program inthe nation — so isthe PAL’sCommisioner’s Cup.Using a formula

based on the finish in league standingsin all sports, coupled with a sportsman-ship component, th e athletic departmentwith the most points is awarded the title.

And has been th e case for the last eigh tyears, the 2015 -16 winner is no surprise:Menlo-Atherton has proven, once again,it is the cream of the PAL crop.

“I guess i t’s more of a big deal to (co-athletic director Steven Kryger) and [me]than for those that don’t follow sports,”said Paul Snow, M-A’s co-AD. “It’s greatto have won i t as many ti me as we have.It shows the overall strength of our pro-gram. … It’s great that we’re competingwell, but sti ll sh owing good sportman-ship.”

Over the last four years, Menlo-Atherton’s Annalisa Crowe has establishedherself as one of the premiere runners— both cross country and track — not onlyin th e Peninsula Athleti c League, but also inthe Central Coast Section and even the statelevel.

An 800 runner who uses cross country astraining for track season, Crowe has won

seven PAL titl es — the last th ree 800 titl es,a 1,600 win and three relay crowns. Sheeven qualified for the state meet as part of the 4x400 relay team her sophomore year.

But there was one gaping hole on herresume: a spot in the 800 at the state meet.

“That’s been a goal of mine since myfreshman year,” Crowe said.

Now a senior, Crowe fell agonizinglyshort of her ultimate goal her first threeyears: as a freshman, she was fifth, whileher sophomore and junior years she finished

fourth — one spot out of the top-three fin-ish needed to advance to state.

This year, Crowe finally punchedthrough, finishing second in the 800 at theCCS finals last Friday at Gilroy HighSchool, finishing in a time of 2:13.37.

“I felt this was definitely t he year I wouldfinally make it to s tate (in the 800 ),” Crowesaid.

M-A track coach Alan Perry believes it’sbeen a long t ime coming.

“I had confidence (she could qualify for

state) the l ast th ree years,” Perry said. “[TheCCS final] has been a loaded field and it wasagain thi s year. Some of the top 800 runnersin the state come from the CCS.”

Crowe was also buoyed by the fact sh e hadthe best cross country season of her highschool career, earning a state meet berthafter a second-place finish in the Division Irace and being named the Daily Journal’sGirls’ Cross Country Runner of the Year.

PITTSBURGH — Conor Sheary st arted theseason in the minor leagues.

Safe to say the Pittsburgh rookie is notheading back there anytime soon. If ever.

Sheary’s shot from just in side the left cir-cle zipped by Martin Jones’ glove and intothe net 2:35 into overtime to give thePenguins a 2-1 victory over the San JoseSharks on Wednesday ni ght and a 2-0 lead inthe Stanley Cup Final. Game 3 is Saturdaynight in San Jose.

Sharks defenseman Justin Braun tied itwith 4:05 left in regulation but San Jose fell

to 0-4 when pushed to overtime in the play-offs. Sidney Crosby won a faceoff in th e SanJose zone and dropped it to Kris Letang.Letang feigned a shot and instead fed it toSheary, who quickly whipp ed it by Jones forhis fourth of the postseason and second of the series.

Phil Kessel picked up his 10th goal of theplayoffs for Pittsburgh and Matt Murraymade 21 saves to help the Penguins movedwithin two victories of their fourth champi-onship.

The Sharks blamed themselves for theirshaky start in Game 1, with defenseman

Brent Burns admitting t he spectacle of play-ing the franchise’s first Finals led to spend-ing a large portion of the first period stand-

ing around and watching the Penguins takean early lead on the way to an eventual 3-2victory.

Burns and his teammates p romised repeat-edly they would be sharper and more focusedfaced with the prospect of heading home ina 2-0 hole, po inting to their 5-1 record thispostseason in games immediately follow-ing a l oss as p roof of their resilience.

OAKLAND — All season long,MVP Stephen Curry, KlayThompson and Draymond Greendrew the attenti on and accolades.

When it comes to the biggest

moments of the playoffs, that’swhen the Golden State Warriorsturn to Andre Iguodala.

Last year’s NBA Finals MVP is amajor reason why the defendingchampions are back in this spotwith a chance to repeat.

“He’s always kind of our unsunghero. He never has the numbersthat jump out at you in the boxscore, so people don’t write abouthim or show him much on thehighlights,” coach Steve Kerrsaid. “But he’s a phenomenaldefensive player and he’s anincredibly intelligent player. Hesettles us down on offense andtakes the toughest assignment ondefense.”

Not bad being compared toScottie Pippen, either.

Iguodala’s stingy, reliabledefense while regularly drawingthe opponent’s best player hasearned him that very complimentfrom Kerr, a former teammate of Pippen’s on the Chicago Bulls.

Last June, the play of Iguodalaagainst LeBron James helpedswing the NBA Finals for theWarriors, and he was called upon

again to handle the daunting loadthat is Kevin Durant in the decid-ing Game 7 of the WesternConference finals.

He shined, as usual. The unflap-pable Iguodala appeared loosewhile joking around with team-mates on the Oracle Arena court

after Wednesday’s practice aheadof Game 1 against the Cavalierson Thursday. He played 43 minutesin just his second start of the sea-son and first of these playoffs forthe 73-win Warriors in a 96-88win Monday night.

In the last two games when theWarriors depended on his defenseagainst Durant, he played morethan 81 minutes combined for hishighest two outputs of any regula-tion g ame all season.

“He’s going to need some goodtreatment tomorrow, for sure,”Curry said only half-jokinglyafterward. “He’s s uch a Swiss Armyknife k ind of guy where he can doso much on the floor ... just his

presence as a p laymaker and a sea-soned vet. You kind of never kno wwhat’s on his mind by lo oking athis face. He always ki nd of has thesame mannerisms and whatnot,and it keeps us just composed andat peace with whatever the situa-tion is.”

Inserting Iguodala back into thestarting lineup Monday proved aspot -on move b y Kerr, who made asimilar switch during last year’s

Finals as Golden State beat Jamesand Cleveland in si x games for thefranchise’s first championship in40 years. Kerr used Iguodala tostart the second of a thrillingGame 6 comeback at OklahomaCity, too.

He’s rarely rattled. Now, he willget up close and personal withJames again.

“Dre’s a great defender, I thinkone of the greatest we have in thisleague,” Green said. “LeBron’sone of the greatest players we

have in this league.”The Warriors greatly missed

Iguodala’s presence and energy off the bench in March as he nursed aleft ankle i njury.

After Golden State lost Game 1to the Thunder at home, Iguodalamissed his first five shots in aGame 2 win before a beautiful dou-ble-clutch, no-look layup in thefinal minute of the first half andthen an alley-oop dunk the nexttime down that put the Warriors up57-49 at halftime. He finished

with 14 points.“I was just trying to flip it up

there, I was trying not to killmyself on t he way down. I was try-ing to land,” Iguodala said of hishighlight -reel play.

The 32-year-old Iguodala,acquired in a trade from Denver on

July 10, 2013, averaged 16.3points, 5.8 rebounds, 4.0 assistsand 1.3 steals in 37 minutes onthe way to Finals MVP hono rs lastJune. That included a 25-poin t per-formance in the Game 6 clin cher.

Iguodala took a trip t o Germanylast offseason to receive specialinjections in his troublesomeknees. Lately, h e has st ayed readyfor increased minutes th rough reg-ular work in th e weight room.

“I don’t kn ow if I adjust. In game6 I was really pushing myself,” hesaid. “I was tired but I just keptpushing, trying to build thatendurance for what may and nowlies ahead.”

Whatever his assignment, Kerr

appreciates Iguodala as one of thesmartest players he knows.

“[My cross country s uccess] was kind of ashocker. I had never done that well in crosscountry,” Crowe said. “It gave me a lot of confidence for track.”

But as track’s regular season was comingto a clo se, Crowe came down with an illn essshe couldn’t shake for several weeks —

which put in jeopardy her ability to makethe state meet.

“I started off the season pretty s trong, butin late April I got s ick for about three weeks.I’d race and then get si ck again. It was a real-ly bad cold. I was sick for league finals. ”

But Perry would not allow something assilly as a cold derail Crowe’s goal. Hedevised a workout and race schedule forCrowe to use while she batt led the cold. Hewas not going to allow her to use that as anexcuse.

“There’s no thin g yo u can do if you catch acold. You have to let rest and medicine do i ts

 job ,” Perry s aid. “All four years, this is o neof the healthiest years she’s had.”

Now that she is finally in the state meetfor the 800, it’s all gravy. While everyone’sdream is to win a state title, the more logical

goal is to run the best two race of Crowe’sseason — in the qualifier Friday night and,if she makes it, the final Saturday. Crowesaid her goal is to make it to the Saturdayrace. She also wants to be bett er her person-al record — 2:12.17 set her sophomoreyear.

“I’ve been really close to it (my PR) thisyear,” Crowe said. “I kno w my plan and I’llexecute my plan. ”

For Perry, Crowe’s ability to run the racethey plan is one of her biggest attributes.

The other being just her sheer competitivenature.

“Annalis a is more confident executing hergame plan (this year),” Perry said. “She’sreally probably the only person I’vecoached who matches my competitiveness.She wants to win races. She’s just an ulti-mate competitor. Every b ig race we’ve beento, she’s performed to th e level (of competi-tion).

“The moment is not going to be too bigfor her.”

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

OAKLAND, — The Oakland Athletics arestarting to see the type of progress from rookiepitcher Sean Manaea they had hoped for aftercalling up the left-hander from the minors inlate April.

It helps when manager Bob Melvin’s ball-club scores some runs and plays good defense,too.

Manaea pitched six strong innings andworked out of a bases-loaded jam to pick up hissecond career win, and the A’s won their fifthstraight game with a 5-1 victory over theMinnesota Twins on Wednesday.

Oakland went into the game last in the AL inseveral offensive categories before getting 11hits off the Twins. It’s the second time in asmany days that the A’s reached double-digit hittotals.

“We have a few guys that are swinging the bat

well, bullpen’s pitched pretty well, defense hasbeen much better,” Melvin said. “You put allthat together and typically you run off a fewwins. In our case it’s five right now.”

Danny Valencia had three hits , including twodoubles, Billy Butler added two hits and an RBIwhile Jake Smolinski homered and Jed Lowriesingled twice and scored two runs for the A’s.

The five-game winning streak is one shy of their season high.

“Usually we’ve been a team that puts a biginning together, but it was just consistent pro-duction up and down the lineup today,” Butlersaid. “The boys are motivated, boys are playingtogether.We’re wanting to keep the streakgoing.”

Since coming off the disabled list on May 6,Valencia, the A’s third baseman is batt ing . 378(31 for 82) with eight home runs and 19 RBIs.

Brian Dozier doubled, walked and scored the

lone run for Minnesota. The Twins have lostthree straight after sweeping Seattle on theroad.

“Offensively we didn’t have a good series,”Minnesota manager Paul Molitor said. “Theoffense we saw in Seattle didn’t make the tripsouth.”

Manaea (2-3) allowed one run and five hits tosnap a two-game skid. The rookie left-handerhad a season-high eight strikeouts with threewalks.

“Those first couple starts I was just trying totake everything in and just experience every-thing,” Manaea said. “Right now it’s like I’mhere and it’s my job. I’ve got to go out and havethat dominant mindset like nobody’s going toget a hit off me.”

Three relievers combined to finish off thewin.

Pat Dean (1-2) took the loss and allowed fourruns and nine hits over five innings in his th irdcareer start.

Trainer’s roomAthl eti cs : Sonny Gray will make a

rehab start Sunday for Class A Stockton. If all goes well, the team hopes to have theright-hander back in the rotation June 10 atCincinnati. ... LHP Rich Hill (groin) threwoff a mound without pain and is slated tostart Saturday in Houston .

Up nextA t h l e t i c s : RHP Jesse Hahn (2-2) faces

Houston on Friday in his fourth start sincebeing called up from the minors for the sec-ond time this season. Hahn h as a 4.9 1 ERA

the award since its in ception in 2 007 — isrunner-up this season. Carlmont finishedthird, while Aragon and Hillsdale round outthe top 5.

M-A’s success, however, extends farbeyond its varsity teams. In fact, the 2015 -16 athletic year was a banner one for theBears. According to a p ress release fromthe school, teams won 24 PAL titles at alllevels, as well as CCS titles for the girls’volleyball and soccer teams. The schoolalso h ad four individual CCS champions .The girls’ volleyball team and the boys’basketball team made it to the Nor Cal titlegames, with the vol leyball team losing inthe state championship game.

“Historically speaking … this is our best

year ever, across the board,” Snow said.“We do appreciate the JV and freshmantitl es as well. We give t hem a place ourgym.”

There is a practical purpose to have suc-cess at all three levels, because it makes itthat much more likely those same athleteswill have s uccess as the move up t he ladderto v arsity teams.

“It’s abso lutely huge (to h ave success atthe lo wer levels),” Snow said. “We can begood (at the varsity level) for the upcom-ing years. When we hire coaches, we letthem hire th eir JV coaches. … We want itto be a s eamless transition when they (theathletes) finally make the varsity squad.”

Snow also gave a lo t of credit to the M-Acoaches and, in a larger sense, I’ll givecredit to both Snow and Kryger for consis -tently hiring the right people — coacheswho are in it for the long haul. There isvery little turnover of coaching staffs at M-

A and any hi gh s chool coach or AD willtell you coaching stabilit y is o ne of thebiggest keys t o success in sports.

To t hat end, the M-A athletic departmenthad a couple of coaches win p restigio uscoaching awards: cros s country coach EricWilmurt was given the Positive CoachingAlliance Double Coach Award, while b oys ’and girls’ tennis coach Tom Sorenson wasgiven the Central Coast Section HonorCoach Award.

“We’ve been bless ed with hiring greatcoaches,” Snow said. “Most of them workyear-round for pennies an hour, literally.

“But we have a great network o f parentsand community. All these things kind of contribute (to our success), I think.”

expecting from the Western Conferencechampions failed to materialize until itwas nearly to o late. Pittsb urgh did the twothings that have been the club’s hallmarksince coach Mike Sullivan took over forMike John ston in mid-December, control-ling the puck and forcing the San Jose to

go a full 200 feet to create chances.

Most of the nig ht, the Sharks struggledto make it halfway there. Pittsburgh’sforecheck made San Jose labor just to getthe puck in the offensive zone and oncethere, the Penguins kept throwing black-and-gold glad bodies in t he way. San J osestressed the way to get pressure on the 22 -year-old Murray was by creating secondchances. The Sharks instead were oftenone and one, if they managed to get thepuck on the n et at all. Outside of three sep-arate shots from Tomas Hertl t hat clank ed

off the post and out of harm’s way, Murraywas rarely tested for the first 5 0 minutes.

Still, it too k time for Pitts burgh’s headyand hectic play to translate into a goal,with the group that’s been Pittsburgh’sbest line for the last three months finallybreaking through against Jones just

before the midway poi nt.Thrust together as an experiment when

Evgeni Malkin went out with a left elbowinjury in mid-February, Kessel, CarlHagelin and Nick Bonino have rapidlyevolved into Pittsburgh’s most dangerousline during the postseason. They beganthe night with 90 combined points in 34games, and added to it during another t yp-ically aggressive shift when Hagelinstripped it from San Jose defensemanRoman Polak and slipped it to Bonino inthe slot.

Bonino, who put in the Game 1 winner

with 2:33 remaining from a similar spot,slipped it to Kessel on the door step. Thepass was heading for the net but Kesselnudged it in anyway just to be sure.

It appeared as if it would be enough towrap things up in regulation until Braunfound a moment of joy in the midst of adifficult time for his family. Braun’sfather-in-law, former Flames andBlackhawks center Tom Lysiak, diedMonday following a lengthy fight withleukemia.

Braun remained with the team, pl edgingto pay his respects t o Lysiak before Game3. His second career playoff goal — a sho tfrom just outside the top of th e right circlethat made its way under Murray’s glo ve andoff the post before crossing the line togive the Sharks a needed jolt with theirchances at a first championships teeter-ing.

The momentum didn’t last and San Joseheaded home down two games. Only fiveteams in the history of the Stanley CupFinal have managed to dig out of a 2-0hole to win.

CLEVELAND — Marlon Byrd’s second

strike with performance-enhancing drugs costhim a full season — and his career.

The Indians veteran outfielder was suspended162 games without pay by Major LeagueBaseball on Wednesday after testing positivefor Ipamorelin, a growth hormone releasing

peptide.It’s Byrd’s second viola-

tion of Major LeagueBaseball’s Joint DrugPrevention and TreatmentProgram. Shortly after hewas released in 2012 byBoston, Byrd served a 50-game suspension for test-ing positive forTamoxifen, a medicationused by body builders but

also to treat breast cancer.

In 2014, MLB increased its penalty for a sec-ond offense from 100 g ames to a full season.

Byrd packed his belongings following aloss to Texas on Tuesday night, but he didn’ttell the team about his suspension until hecalled manager Terry Francona on Wednesdaymorning.

Byrd is the second Cleveland outfielder to besuspended for PED use this season. AbrahamAlmonte, who was expected to open the seasonin center field, was slapped with an 80-gamesuspension during spring training.

Byrd released a statement, saying he had nointention of taking a banned substance andconsulted with “a medical professional” foradvice on what he could take since his suspen-sion four years ago. He realized certain supple-ments he was ingesting were not approved, andhe thinks he took a tainted supplement.
