21 CIVILIANS KILLED BY AFGHAN BOMB

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
More and more technology
companies are flourishing along
the Peninsula and one such busi-
ness is the Norwegian-based
Opera Software, which has a
growing office in San Mateo.
Opera recently signed an expan-
sion deal for an additional 17,702
square feet of space at 1875 S.
Grant St. in San Mateo, adding
another whole floor of space.
Opera and its subsidiaries now
employ 200 employees in Silicon
Valley double from the same
time last year, according to the
software company. This number is
expected to reach 300 in 2014.
Although its headquarters are in
Oslo, Operas San Mateo location
is its global ad sales headquarters,
said Mahi de Silva, CEO of Opera
Mediaworks.
The company first got into ad
sales in 2010 when it acquired de
Silvas company, AdMarvel. This
also brought them to San Mateo
since AdMarvel occupied the
space where Opera currently
resides. Their big black building
overlooks Highway 101 and State
Route 92. De Silva notes employ-
ees sometimes look out the com-
panys large eighth and 10th
floor windows to check traffic.
Weve expanded so much here
because our customer base is
here, de Silva said. Were also a
very international business, so
being close to the airport is a real
advantage. [San Mateo is] equally
accessible from the city and
Silicon Valley.
The company realizes the
importance and influence Silicon
Valley has on how we power the
global mobile ecosystem, includ-
ing how we help consumers to
discover content, advertisers to
reach the audience they are look-
ing for, publishers to generate
revenue and operators to provide
a faster and better network experi-
ence, he said.

San Mateo city officials are
assessing the status of the entre-
preneurial Draper University of
Heroes project and working with
its officials to complete agreed
upon aesthetic property improve-
ments required to nalize permits
for the downtown campus centered
in the former Benjamin Franklin
Hotel.
The university needs to com-
plete the pedestrian walkway adja-
cent to the Third Avenue entrance,
nalize the pop-up retail spaces
and make landscape enhancements
among other things, said Rory
Walsh, director of the Community
Development Department. Once
the university completes these
outstanding improvements, it will
be issued nalized permits and the
project will be considered com-
plete, Walsh said.
A lot of it probably had to do
with them getting things going
for the school. But these items had
just probably
not become
their top priori-
t y, Walsh said.
L a u n c h i n g
the unique busi-
ness incubator
amidst restor-
ing three down-
town properties
has been an
exhausting process; but the
school is keeping up the momen-
tum and excited to finalize its
properties, said Drapers Director
of Development Ken Jillson.
Were locked and loaded. Were
really just dotting the Is and
crossing the Ts. It was an enor-
mous project and I can nally see
the light at the end of the tunnel,
Jillson said.
The university is opening its
doors to a fourth batch of business
hungry boarding students and
launching another online program
today, Jillson said.

A San Francisco nonprot that
organizes gymnastics and circus
arts for youth is suing a South San
Francisco couple for allegedly
stealing more than $200,000 to
renovate their home during the
time the wife worked as its book-
keeper.
In the civil suit led Thursday in
San Mateo County Superior Court,
AcroSports Gymnastics and
Sports Activity Center seeks to
recoup the funds from Valerie and
Jeffrey Charles Kerr. AcroSports
claims the reported theft not only
caused it to lose the money taken
but also lost participant fees
because it couldnt finance pro-
grams.
AcroSports is seeking punitive
damages of $500,000 plus more

Manual transmission
stymies car thieves
SPRINGFIELD, Mass. A trio of
would-be Massachusetts car thieves
had to hit the brakes on their plan
because none of them knew how to
drive a stick.
Police in Springeld say the men
pulled a knife on a food delivery driver
Tuesday night and demanded the grub
and his keys. But then they noticed the
car had a manual transmission.
Sgt. John Delaney tells The
Republican newspaper the thieves
argued among themselves then ran
down the street with their ill-gotten
dinner.
The driver was not seriously hurt.
There have been no arrests.
Four kittens pull break-in
at upstate New York prison
FORT ANN, N.Y. A litter of kit-
tens has found a cozy home in the least
cozy of places - a maximum-security
prison in upstate New York.
The Post-Star of Glens Falls reports
four kittens found their way into the
basement of the Great Meadow
Correctional Facility in Fort Ann a few
months ago. Thats near the Vermont
border 55 miles northeast of Albany.
The family of feral felines has been
cared for by inmates and prison staff,
including head electrician Bruce
Porter. He arrives at work early so he
can tend to the cats, which live in a
large cage built by an inmate.
Another inmate takes care of the
cats on weekends when many prison
employees are off.
Prison ofcials say theyre hoping
to nd the kittens homes among the
staff.
New Jerseys pigskin-picking
camel dies before Super Bowl
LACEY TOWNSHIP, N.J. New
Jerseys pigskin-prognosticating
camel has died just weeks before the
state is set to host its rst Super Bowl.
Princess was a xture at the Popcorn
Park Zoo in Lacey Township for 10
years and gained fame for picking win-
ners.
Zoo manager John Bergmann tells
the Asbury Park Press the 26-year-old
Bactrian camel was euthanized after
arthritis made it impossible for her to
stand.
Princess made her picks with gra-
ham crackers. Bergmann would hold
one in each hand, marked with the
names of the competing teams.
Whichever hand she chose was her
prediction.
Princess correctly picked the
Baltimore Ravens in last years Super
Bowl. Her best run came in the 2008
season, when she picked 17 of 22
games correctly, including the
Pittsburgh Steelers to win Super Bowl
XLIII.
Couple advertises
home as slightly haunted
DUNMORE, Pa. Between the
mysteriously banging doors, the odd
noises coming from the basement,
and the persistent feeling that some-
one is standing behind them, home-
owners Gregory and Sandi Leeson are
thoroughly creeped out by their 113-
year-old Victorian.
So when they put the house in north-
eastern Pennsylvania up for sale last
month, they advertised it as slightly
haunted.
Then things got REALLYweird.
There were calls from ghost hunters.
An open house attracted lots of curios-
ity seekers, but no legitimate buyers.
And a former resident came out of the
woodwork to tell the couple that when
he was a kid, he found a human skull in
the basement - the same basement
whose door Sandi Leeson once barri-
caded because she swore she could hear
the clicking of a cigarette lighter ema-
nating from the subterranean depths.
Its enough to make her husband
wonder whether he did the right thing
when he playfully wrote about the
homes spooky charms:
Slightly haunted. Nothing seri-
ous, though, says the listing on
Zillows real-estate site. It goes on to
describe 3:13 a.m. screams and the
occasional ghastly visage in the
bathroom mirror.

E
very town has its unique history and
San Bruno is no exception. The
Spanish/Mexicans used the area of
San Bruno for grazing cattle and horses
from the mid-1700s until the Mission peri-
od in the mid-1800s.
Its unique geology with the hills to the
west between the Pacic Ocean and the at
terrain along the San Francisco Bay made it
a natural corral in which to let the cattle
wander, eat and reproduce to produce more
cattle. Jose Antonio Sanchezs Mexican
grant of Rancho Buri Buri in the 1830s
dened the area a little more, but his attempt
to put the Rancho on a sound economic base
was cut short by his death in 1843. His heirs
thought differently about raising cattle and
proceeded to sell the land to speculators and
the rising class of European-Americans who
settle here. The geography of San Bruno 14
miles to the south of San Franciscos
Mission Dolores and 40 miles north of the
Mission by San Jose did not encourage
many settlers to stop and build homes until
the American period in the 1840s. Only
then was a roadhouse, the 14-Mile House
(later named Uncle Toms Cabin) construct-
ed along a deep creek that was a huge obsta-
cle to travel. In the early 1860s, another
roadhouse developed, the San Bruno House,
along the San Bruno Toll Road (San Mateo
Avenue) that was built in 1859. Richard
Cunningham, the owner, also anticipated
the construction of the latest form of rapid
transit that was to be built down the
Peninsula the railroad. The San Bruno
House attracted many sportsmen and visi-
tors for weekend trap-shooting, horse races
and relaxation, but the visitors did not stay
to develop a community. By the end of the
1880s, another restaurant/hotel facility was
erected August Jeneveins Junction
House. Ten years later, the Tanforan race
track was built north of these roadhouses.
The founder of the Bank of California,
Darius Ogden Mills, had by now acquired
thousands of acres of the Rancho Buri Buri
land and he built a great estate in the now
Millbrae/Burlingame area. He developed a
dairy farm (east of Mills-Peninsula Medica
Center) and later rented land for the con-
struction of San Francisco Internatioanl
Airport. To the north of San Bruno land
was utilized by the Sneath family and C.
Silva for cattle and horse raising. A core
area of San Bruno was yet to be developed.
The state of California didnt have the
money to build the roads in the 1800s so

A Health Center
Dedicated to
Severe Disc
Conditions
If you suffer with lower back,
neck, or leg pain, we invite you to try
our non surgical solution. The pain
from degenerating and bulging discs
affects everything that you do, from
work, to play, and ultimately your
quality of life. At Crossroads Heath
Center, we have created an entire
facility dedicated to patients with
severe disc conditions that have not
responded to traditional care. Our
revolutionary, Crossroads Method,
provides a very high success rate to
patients with serious back, neck,
leg and arm pain even when all
else has failed. This FDA cleared;
non-surgical treatment allows us
to rehabilitate your herniated or
degenerative disc(s) by reversing
internal pressure and enabling your
disc(s) to heal from the inside out.
We succeed where other treatments
have failed by removing the
pressure that is causing pain to
your disc(s) and nerves without
drugs, injections, invasive surgery or
harmful side effects.
The only ofce to have
The Crossroads Method
This method which includes
computerized true disc
decompression is considered by
many doctors to be the most
advanced and successful non-
invasive treatment of serious back,
neck, leg or arm pain.
This procedure allows for a much
higher success rate by increasing
hydration of your discs, fexibility,
relaxation of muscles and ligaments
along with improving muscle and
core strength, balance and posture.
This results in a more effective and
lasting solution to your pain. There
are no side effects and no recovery
time is required.
This gentle and relaxing treatment
has proven to be effective even
when drugs, epidurals, traditional
chiropractic, physical therapy
and surgery have failed The
Crossroads Method has shown
dramatic results.
Patient Testimonials
During the 1 1/2 years of having
constant daily lower back pain and
spasms, I took anti-infammatory
and pain medication, but nothing
helped lessen the pain. When an MRI
showed that I had two degenerative
discs, I went through a series of
lumbar epidural injections without
success. The only thing that made
the pain and spasms go away was
Spinal Decompression treatments at
Crossroads Health Center. Four years
later and I am still pain-free!
Lisa K. San Jose, 2013
I came in to Dr. Ferrigno for
lower back pain. Its a problem
that I have had for about 10 to
15 years. I tried everything from
physiatrists, medical doctors,
doctor of osteopathy, chiropractic,
acupuncture, pain medications,
epidural injections and everything
was a temporary fx. I decided to try
the DRX therapy and Ive gone from
an average pain level between 5/7
out of 10 all the way down to a pain
level of 1 to 2 pretty consistently.
The DRX was defnitely the only
thing that has made me feel better.
Brian G. Los Gatos CA. 2013
How Will I Know If I Qualify
for Treatment?
When you come in for a
complimentary consultation we will
ask a series of questions and perform
a comprehensive examination to
determine exactly where the pain is
coming from. If x-rays are necessary,
we can take them in our offce. Once
we determine the cause of your
pain we will let you know if we can
help you and if you qualify for our
treatment protocol.
If we dont feel like we can help we
will refer you to someone who can.

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
A parolee who pleaded no contest to
stalking a former girlfriend and eventually
ring a gun near her Redwood City home is
facing life in prison as a
three-striker.
Kirk Vernell Moore,
45, faces 25 years to life
after pleading no contest
to the felony charges of
stalking and discharging
a rearm. Prosecutors are
seeking the maximum
but Judge Joseph
Bergeron said he will
consider giving Moore a
determinate second-strike term at his April
4 sentencing. Moore has seven felony con-
victions and has been to prison six times.
Moore took the plea deal just as jury trial
was to begin in the incidents which
spanned between Nov. 14, 2011, and Dec.
12, 2011. Prosecutors say Moore, of East
Palo Alto, dated his victim for a few months
before she ended the relationship but he
continued calling, sometimes as often as 40
times a day. In one message, he reportedly
threatened to kill her and her family and one
December night was spotted pacing back
and forth in front of the home with a silver
handgun.
The next day he allegedly had owers
delivered with a note asking to see her,
which she ignored, and later that day
appeared at the home. The womans brother
and girlfriend, who were sitting outside the
residence, spotted him and the brother
warned him to grow up and leave. Moore
red a shot in the air from the silver hand-
gun and responding police found him hid-
ing nearby. A loaded gun registered to his
mother was found in the open bed of a truck
near him.
He remains in custody on $650,000 bail.

The public will get a rsthand look at how
the county uses data not to mention the
opportunity to see if they are among the
recipients of $1.8 million in unclaimed
checks at San Mateo Countys rst Data
Innovation Day.
The event Thursday at the county govern-
ment center in Redwood City will include
available computers and tech-savvy
employees helping navigate data, includ-
ing the aforementioned unclaimed checks.
The open data provided by the county can
be used by entrepreneurs or individuals
building businesses or watching to see how
tax dollars are spent.
Local government collects vast amounts
of data on everything from building permits
to crime data, Dave Pine, president of the
San Mateo County Board of Supervisors,
said in a prepared statement. We want to
put the power of information into the hands
of the public to hold their governments
accountable, provide feedback and help
local government respond to emergi ng
needs and dynamics.
The event is the latest effort by San
Mateo County to help the public better
understand government and track its spend-
ing and performance. Last year, the county
launched the open data portal, a database of
publicly available information, and
Controller Bob Adler created Open
Checkbook which lets the public track any
payment of $5,000 or greater.
Another initiative is SMC Performance, a
tool letting the public track the progress of
initiatives like those funded by the Measure
Ahalf-cent sales tax approved by voters in
2012.
Data Innovation Day will also be marked
by more than 100 governments worldwide.
Data Innovation Day is 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Thursday, Jan. 23 at 455 County Center,
First Floor, Redwood City. Metered parking
is available on the street and in the county
garage on Middleeld Road off Veterans
Boulevard.

SACRAMENTO Hundreds of bills that
failed to pass the Legislature last year face
an end-of-the-month deadline to gain ini-
tial support, including measures affecting
gun owners, the oil industry and farm
laborers.
Its the first significant bill deadline of
2014, the second half of the Legislatures
two-year session. The bills are dead if they
dont pass the house where they originat-
ed by Jan. 31, and dozens of the holdover
bills already have died in committees.
Some of the bills left over from last year
have been stripped of their original lan-
guage and entirely rewritten, a practice
known as a gut-and-amend.
One such bill, SB477 by Senate
President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg, D-
Sacramento, began life last year as a meas-
ure to require grassroots financial support
for ballot initiatives. But it was gutted and
amended to require contractors who recruit
farm laborers in other nations to register
with Californias labor commissioner and
meet certain standards.
The reincarnation came after Gov. Jerry
Brown vetoed Steinbergs original farm
labor bill last year. If the revised legisla-
tion clears the Senate, it will head to the
Assembly.
Sen. Noreen Evans SB241 would
impose a tax on companies that extract oil
in California, a concept that is supported
by Steinberg but has not been embraced
by the governor.
Evans bill is stalled in committee, but
the Democrat from Santa Rosa plans to
propose new legislation that would put the
oil tax before voters on
the 2016 ballot, an
avenue that does not
require Browns
approval.
Evans also is teaming
with Sen. Kevin de
Leon, D-Los Angeles,
to pass SB199 out of
the Senate by months
end. The Imitation
Firearm Safety Act
would require that toy
guns, BB guns, pellet
guns, airsoft guns and
the like be made to look
clearly different from
guns that fire bullets.
The legislation follows
the fatal shooting in
October of 13-year-old
Andy Lopez in Santa
Rosa, when a sheriffs
deputy mistook the
boys airsoft rifle for a
real AK-47.
Toys should not get
a child killed, Evans
said in introducing the
bi l l .
De Leon also faces a
month-end deadline to
advance his SB808, which would require
anyone who assembles a homemade
firearm to undergo a background check and
register the weapon. The bill is intended
to extend existing regulations to unde-
tectable guns that can be made using 3-D
printers and to anyone who buys parts that
can be assembled into a gun.
De Leon, who is in line to succeed
Steinberg as Senate
leader, also has two
weeks to move SB812,
which would address
problems at the state
Department of Toxi c
Substances Control. The
bill would set deadlines
for issuing final permits
to companies that pro-
duce hazardous waste,
after the Los Angeles
Times reported that com-
panies have been
allowed to operate for
years, sometimes
decades, on interim per-
mits.
Republican lawmakers
complained that most of
their two-year bills have
been killed by commit-
tees controlled by major-
ity Democrats. But many
Democratic bills have
survived and face the
Jan. 31 house-of-origin
deadline. Among them:
California would set
standards for short-term
day care centers at fit-
ness centers, shopping
malls, grocery stores and other businesses
under SB766 by Sen. Leland Yee, D-San
Francisco. His bill would set age limits
and require background checks for workers
at drop-in day care centers. The measure
was prompted by a toddler who was left
with a permanent scar on his forehead after
he fell in the child care area of a fitness
center in Sacramento.
It would be illegal to steal and then
analyze a persons DNA without written
permission under SB222, by Sen. Alex
Padilla, D-Los Angeles. He says the unau-
thorized analysis of a persons genetic
material makes it possible to discover pri-
vate health information and potentially
use it in a harmful way. Neither state nor
federal law blocks such secret collections
and analysis, although Padilla says genet-
ic analyses can be beneficial with proper
safeguards.
Padilla also could seek to revive
SB405, which would have phased out the
use of single-use plastic checkout bags in
grocery, drug and convenience stores.
The bill failed on an initial vote in the
Senate last May. More than 70 local gov-
ernments already prohibit such bags,
covering nearly 20 percent of
Californians, and advocates said a
statewide law would eliminate the current
patchwork of policies.
Several bills are expected to die that
would have altered what is now an $11. 1
billion bond scheduled to go before vot-
ers in November. But other bills have
been introduced that could be used to
lower the cost or postpone voters con-
sideration of the measure, which already
has been delayed twice. Lawmakers say
they prefer a vote on an amended measure
this year, given the drought.
Competing Senate bills aimed at per-
mitting Internet gambling also will miss
the end-of-month deadline. Yet aides say
Sen. Lou Correa, D-Anaheim, and Sen.
Roderick Wright, D-Inglewood, plan to
keep trying to authorize an industry that
could bring the state budget hundreds of
millions of dollars a year in revenue.

LOS ANGELES A new
California law that tightens the
states recycling redemption rules
is squeezing people who cash in
bottles and plastic to make ends
meet.
The Los Angeles Times reports
that, as of Nov. 1, recycling cen-
ters started paying much less for
containers including wine bottles
and milk jugs that do not have a
specic redemption value.
An empty beer or soda bottle can
still be turned in for a nickel or a
dime. But under the new law, recy-
cling centers receive the much-
lower, scrap value for containers
with no specic redemption value.
That means the centers pay
people who scour cities to collect
recyclables much less as well.
Aload of containers that used to
fetch a few hundred dollars might
now only be worth one-quarter of
its prior value.
That is the situation facing
Francisco Morataya, an ofce jan-
itor who each week recycles a van-
load of bottles and cans in Los
Angeles.
Morataya told the newspaper
that he used the $200 he received
to pay his daughters cellphone
bill. Now he takes home about $50
for the same load.
Its really bad, he said, ing-
ing plastic bottles into a garbage
bin. I cant help my daughter.
While grocery and liquor store
customers were not charged
deposits for containers including
wine and liquor bottles, and some
milk and juice jugs, recyclers could
mingle them with redeemable con-
tainers when they visited the
states 2,200 recycling centers.
When recycling rates in
California rose to 80 percent or
more during the recession, the sol-
vency of Californias $1.1-billion
beverage container recycling fund
came under threat, according to
CalRecycle spokesman Mark
Oldeld. The new law is part of an
effort to pay out less, helping close
what Oldeld said is a structural
decit of $100 million in the
states $1.1-billion recycling fund.
Wine and liquor bottles will con-
tinue to be recycled through curb-
side pickups.

SAN JOSE Aconvicted arson-
ist suspected of setting 13 recent
res that damaged $6 million of
property near downtown San Jose
has admitted to police that he set
all of the res, according to the
Santa Clara County District
Attorneys Ofce.
Patrick William Brennan, 48, of
San Jose, led San Jose police to
the locations of each of the 13
res and explained how he ignited
them after he was arrested on sus-
picion of arson Wednesday night,
according to a police report led
today by prosecutors.
It should be noted that Brennan
stated he was responsible for each
of the following arsons and he
actually walked us through each of
the arsons, wrote San Jose police
Detective Jesus Mendoza.
Brennan described how he
ignited paper bags or debris locat-
ed at the scene with a cigarette
lighter at each of the following
locations, Mendoza said in the
report. Brennan knew the details
on how, where and when each of
the res were started.
The suspect, the ofcer wrote,
stated he knew several of the
homes were occupied and he knew
the residents were being placed in
danger. Brennan stated he knew
right from wrong and he knew
what he was doing was wrong.
Mendozas report also men-
tioned that police identified
Brennan thanks to a witness who
had been walking his dog at about
4:10 a.m. last Friday when he saw
a re at 101 S. 24th St. and called
911 on his cellphone to report it.
After police and firefighters
arrived, the witness said he noticed
a man looking toward the re on
South 24th Street and who walked
past him just as the witness
noticed a second fire nearby at
1165 Peach St., the ofcer stated.
The witness talked to the man,
who said he knew nothing about
the re, and walked away. The wit-
ness then phoned 911 to report the
second re, and eventually identi-
ed the man as Brennan from a
photo line up of six images pro-
vided by police, according to
Mendoza.
Asecond witness, who was driv-
ing in her car last Sunday, stated
she saw the male suspect holding a
long lighter while crouching over
a re at 102 S. 24th St., and she
later picked Brennans photo out
of the line up of six images,
Mendoza said.
The police report was part of a
statement of facts used by prosecu-
tors for multiple felony charges
against Brennan, who was
arraigned Friday in Superior Court
in San Jose where a judge ordered
him held without bail. Brennan is
charged with 10 counts of arson
and three counts of attempted
arson in fires that damaged or
destroyed structures, including six
that had been occupied, according
to the district attorneys ofce.
No one was injured or killed in the
arsons, but they caused property
damage amounting to $6 million,
District Attorney Jeff Rosen said.
The 13 res Brennan is charged
with setting in San Jose were
ignited between 2 a.m. and 6 a.m.
between Jan. 8 and Jan. 10 in the
area between Santa Clara and
William streets and between 17th
and 33rd streets and then two oth-
ers in the same area on Sunday
morning.
The first fire was on Jan. 8,
which caused $75,000 of damage
at the Greater Saint John Baptist
Church, located at 1230 E. San
Antonio Road, after Brennan told
police he ignited boxes with a
lighter and placed the boxes under
a portable classroom building,
prosecutors said.
Brennan admitted to setting ve
res on Jan. 9, including a three-
alarm blaze reported at 2:09 a.m.
at a home at 123 E. 17th St., from
which an elderly couple barely
escaped unharmed and caused
$500,000 in damage, according to
the police report.
For that re, Brennan said he used
his lighter to light a paper bag on a
chair on the front porch of the
home and watched the chair catch
re, according to the police report.
Brennan said he was responsible
for another re reported at 5:36
a.m. on Jan. 9 at a 125,000-square-
foot warehouse at North 28th and
Julian streets, the ofcer stated.
Brennan told police he used his
lighter to ignite a paper bag and
debris he placed under the warehouse
next to a loading dock. The re,
which turned into a massive ve-
alarm blaze, resulted in $5 million
in damages, according to police.
Some of the res Brennan admit-
ted he started caused only $200 to
$1,000 of damage, but a home he
lit on re using only a paper
bag and his lighter at 797 E. St.
John St. last Saturday sustained $1
million of damage, police said.
Brennan, who was convicted of
two arsons going back to 1999
and is both a registered arsonist
and sex offender, faces multiple
life terms if he is convicted,
Rosen said.
We charged him with these
crimes because we believe he knew
what he was doing when he com-
mitted these crimes, Rosen said.
The defendant appeared at his
arraignment this afternoon, wear-
ing glasses and brown and red jail
clothes, before Judge Sharon
Chatman, who set his plea hearing
for Feb. 6.
Brennan said nothing as his
public defender, Charlie
Henderson, spoke for him to
Chatman. The judge agreed to a
request by deputy district attorney
Bud Porter to have Brennan, who
was arrested on Wednesday on $1
million bail, to be held without
bail at the Santa Clara County
Main Jail.
After the hearing, Porter said
that evidence would show that
Brennan would gather com-
bustible materials in the areas of
the res and use an open ame
device that he had at his disposal,
such as a lighter, to light the struc-
tures on re.

ST. LOUIS Awalk down the 6-mile city
street named for the Rev. Martin Luther
King Jr. yields plenty of images that would
surely unsettle the civil rights leader: shut-
tered storefronts, open-air drug markets and
a glut of pawn shops, quickie check-cash-
ing providers and liquor stores.
The urban decay along Dr. Martin Luther
King Jr. Drive in St. Louis can be found in
other major American cities, from Houston
and Milwaukee to the nations capital.
Its a national problem, said Melvin
White, a 46-year-old postal worker in St.
Louis and founder of a 3-year-old nonprot
group that is trying to restore Kings legacy
on asphalt. Dr. King would be turning over
in his grave.
Nearly three decades into the observance
of Mondays federal holiday, the continuing
decline of the most visible symbols of
Kings work has White and others calling
for a renewed commitment to the more than
900 streets nationwide named in the Atlanta
natives honor. The effort centers in St.
Louis, where the small nonprot is working
to reclaim MLK roadways as a source of
pride and inspiration, not disappointment
over a dream derailed.
Whites goals are ambitious, his
resources admittedly modest. A neighbor-
hood park is planned across the street from
the groups headquarters. An urban agricul-
ture project to encourage residents to eat
healthy and grow their own food has pre-
liminary support from nearby Washington
University, one of the countrys wealthiest
private colleges. Above all, Beloved
Streets of America wants to build communi-
ty from the ashes of what was once a thriv-
ing retail corridor when White was a child.
The template can be found just a mile
away. Delmar Boulevard, which saw a simi-
lar decline, is now a vibrant retail corridor
packed with restaurants, nightclubs, a reno-
vated movie theater and a boutique hotel.
The renaissance earned Delmar recognition
in 2007 as one of 10 Great Streets in
America by the American Planning
Association.
Journalist Jonathan Tilove, who wrote a
2003 book based on visits to 650 King
streets nationwide, called the King byways
black Americas Main Street.
Map them and you map a nation within a
nation, a place where white America seldom
goes and black America can be itself, he
wrote. It is a parallel universe with a differ-
ent center of gravity and distinctive sensi-
bilities. ... There is no other street like it.
But while streets named for King undoubt-
edly resonate widely in the black communi-
t y, a University of Tennessee geography
professor whose research explores the cul-
tural and political significance of such
streets said the compromised condition of
streets named for King in St. Louis and
other cities deserves broader attention.
In some ways we racially prole these
streets, said Derek Alderman, author of a
2007 study that found a smaller disparity
among MLK-named streets and other main
streets than is popularly portrayed. We
need to move beyond those images and see
what concrete lives and realities are living
on those streets.
Urban streets named for MLK still struggle

TRENTON, N.J. The Democratic
mayor of a town severely flooded by
Superstorm Sandy said Sunday that she
was told an ultimatum tying recovery
funds to her support for a prime real estate
project came directly from GOP Gov. Chris
Christie, a claim a Christie spokesman
called categorically false.
Hoboken Mayor Dawn Zimmer told
ABCs This Week that the message
pushing a Rockefeller Group commercial
development was delivered by Christies
lieutenant governor, Kim Guadagno, when
the two were at an event in Hoboken in
May to celebrate the opening of a new
supermarket.
The lieutenant governor pulled me
aside and said, essentially, Youve got to
move forward with the Rockefeller proj-
ect. This project is really important to the
governor. And she said that she had been
with him on Friday night and that this was
a direct message from the governor,
Zimmer recalled Guadagno saying.
Christie spokesman Colin Reed issued a
statement Sunday saying, Mayor
Zimmers categorization about her con-
versation in Hoboken is categorically
false.
On Saturday, Zimmer said Guadagno and
a top community development official
separately told her that recovery funds
would flow to her city if she expedited the
project.
Hoboken, a low-lying city of 50,000
across from Manhattan, was nearly swal-
lowed by the Hudson River during Sandy,
with three of its electrical substations and
most of its firehouses flooded, businesses
and homes submerged, the train station
inundated with water, and people trapped
in high-rises because elevators didnt
work and lobbies were underwater. Zimmer
has proposed a comprehensive flood miti-
gation plan and has applied for $100 mil-
lion in grants to help make it happen.
Zimmer said she didnt reveal the con-
versation with Guadagno until now
because she feared no one would believe
her. But, with Hoboken having received
just $342,000 out of $1.8 billion in
Sandy recovery aid from the state in the
first funding round, she said, she is speak-
ing out in hopes her city wont be shut out
in a second funding wave, when the state
is due to disperse $1.4 billion. Hoboken
has also received millions in federal aid.
Christie, meanwhile, is embroiled in
another scandal that threatens to undercut
his second term and future presidential
ambitions. The U.S. attorneys office and
a state legislative panel are investigating
allegations that Christie aides engineered
traffic jams in Fort Lee by closing lanes to
the George Washington Bridge, possibly
as payback against the towns Democratic
mayor, who didnt endorse Christie for re-
election.
Democratic Assemblyman John
Wisniewski, the legislator leading the
state investigation, told NBCs Meet the
Press on Sunday that his committee
would look into Zimmers political pay-
back allegation as well.
I think we have to give the allegations
serious thought, he said, because this is
a pattern weve heard time and time again
throughout New Jersey.
Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani,
a Republican, told Meet the Press that
Wisniewski is part of a partisan witch
hunt and should step down.
Wisniewski countered that his commit-
tee of eight Democrats and four
Republicans is bipartisan and would con-
tinue its investigation.
The committee issued 20 new subpoenas
Friday as the traffic jam plot reached deep
into Christies administration; the Port
Authority of New York and New Jersey,
which runs the bridge; and Christies re-
election campaign.
Zimmer said another mem-
ber of Christies administra-
tion, Community Affairs
Commissioner Richard
Constable, approached her
later in May to reiterate what
the lieutenant governor had
said. According to Zimmer,
he told her Sandy aid would
start flowing to Hoboken if
she backed the development
project.
Lisa Ryan, a spokesman
for Constable, said
Zimmers claim was false and
questioned why she waited
eight months to come for-
ward. Ryan also asked why
Zimmer didnt take her con-
cern to authorities if she
was so distraught.
David Samson, whom
Christie picked to chair the Port
Authority, is among those subpoenaed. He
is a founding partner of the law firm repre-
senting the Rockefeller Group, the New
York City developer seeking to build com-
mercial space in Hoboken. Alobbyist for
the group, Lori Grifa, was a member of
Christies administration before leaving
to work for a law firm. Calls to the firm
went unreturned over the weekend.
Wisniewski said he has no plans to sub-
poena the governor, and there is no evi-
dence Christie knew about any lane clos-
ing scheme in advance.
Christie is fundraising in Florida this
weekend, but the events are closed to
the press.

KIEV, Ukraine Anti-government
protests in Ukraines capital escalated into
ery street battles with police Sunday as
thousands of demonstrators hurled rocks
and rebombs to set police vehicles ablaze.
Dozens of officers and protesters were
injured.
Police responded with stun grenades, tear
gas and water cannons, but were outnum-
bered by the protesters. Many of the riot
police held their shields over their heads to
protect themselves from the projectiles
thrown by demonstrators on the other side
of a cordon of buses.
The violence was a sharp escalation of
Ukraines two-month political crisis,
which has brought round-the-clock protest
gatherings, but had been largely peaceful.
Opposition leader Vitali Klitschko tried
to persuade demonstrators to stop their
unrest, but failed and was sprayed by a re
extinguisher in the process. Klitschko
later traveled to President Viktor
Yanukovychs suburban residence and said
the president has agreed to negotiate.
There are only two ways for events to
develop. The rst one is not to negotiate,
Klitschko was quoted as saying by the
Interfax news agency. A scenario of force
can be unpredictable and I dont rule out the
possibility of a civil war. ... And here we are
using all possibilities in order to prevent
bloodshed.
Yanukovych said later on his Web site
that he has tasked a working group, headed
by national security council head Andriy
Klyuev, to meet with opposition represen-
tatives to work out a solution to the crisis.
However, it was unclear if either side was
prepared for real compromise; throughout
the crisis, the opposition has insisted on
the governments resignation and calling
early presidential elections.
The U.S. Embassy called for an end to the
violence. We urge calm and call on all sides
to cease any acts provoking or resulting in
violence, it said in a statement.
The crisis erupted in November after
Yanukovychs decision to freeze ties with
the European Union and seek a huge bailout
from Russia. The decision sparked protests,
which increased in size and determination
after police twice violently dispersed
demonstrators.
But anger rose substantially after
Yanukovych last week signed an array of
laws severely limiting protests and ban-
ning the wearing of helmets and gas masks.
Many of Sundays demonstrators wore
hardhats and masks in deance of the new
laws. They set several police buses on re
and some chased and beat ofcers.
Police responded with tear gas and stun
grenades. Water cannons were also red at
the protesters in temperatures of -8 C (18
F), but the clashes continued.
The harsh new laws brought a crowd of
tens of thousands to the protest at Kievs
central square on Sunday.
While most remained on the square, a group
of radicals marched toward a police cordon
several hundred meters away blocking an area
housing government ofces and began
attacking riot police with sticks to push their
way toward Ukraines parliament building.
The crowd then swelled to thousands.
The blasts of stun grenades echoed and
plumes of smoke rose above the crowd.
Activists chanted Shame! and
Revolution. The Interior Ministry said
more than 70 police were injured, four of
them seriously; there were no immediate
gures for protester injuries.

BAGHDAD Iraqi government forces and
allied tribal militias launched an all-out
offensive Sunday to push al-Qaida militants
from a provincial capital, an assault that
killed or wounded some 20 police ofcers and
government-allied tribesmen, ofcials said.
Since late December, members of Iraqs
al-Qaida branch known as the Islamic
State of Iraq and the Levant have taken
over parts of Ramadi, the capital of the
largely Sunni western province of Anbar.
They also control the center of the nearby
city of Fallujah, along with other non-al-
Qaida groups that also oppose the Shiite-
led government.
A military ofcer and two local ofcials
said erce clashes raged through Sunday
night in parts of Ramadi, but gave no details.
Later, the commander of Anbar operations,
army Lt. Gen. Rasheed Fleih, said that Iraqi
special forces retook al-Bubali village fol-
lowing erce clashes with the militants who
had held it for about three weeks. Al-Bubali
lies on the road between Ramadi and
Fallujah.
Fleih said that gunmen had booby-
trapped several houses in the village before
their retreat. He declined to give any gures
regarding casualties.
The two Anbar ofcials said 20 police
ofcers and allied tribesmen were either
killed or wounded during the assault. The
ofcials were unable to provide a break-
down of the casualties.
Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, who heads the al-
Qaida group in Iraq, urged Iraqi Sunni
Muslims to join the militants in an audio
message posted on militant websites Sunday.
You the Sunni people in Iraq, you can
carry the weapons against the Shiites...
This is your chance, so do not miss it.
Otherwise you will be finished, al-
Baghdadi said. He also exhorted his mili-
tants to continue their ght and also attack
Baghdad.
Hours after the offensive was announced,
Iraqs Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki
vowed to continue ghting terrorism, but
left the door open for a political solution.
Our battle is rstly to beat and eliminate
terrorism, though we welcome any solu-
tion, any proposal and any political meet-
ing that should realize the priority of
destroying terrorism, al-Qaida, its forma-
tions and its allies, al-Maliki said.
Elsewhere Sunday, gunmen opened re on a
checkpoint run by an anti-al-Qaida, pro-gov-
ernment Sunni tribal militia outside the city
of Baqouba, killing the local leader and four
assistants, a police ofcer and medical of-
cials said. The former al-Qaida stronghold
Baqouba is located about 60 kilometers (35
miles) northeast of the capital, Baghdad.
The Sunni militia, known as the
Awakening Council, was formed by U.S.
forces during the height of the insurgency.
They are seen as traitors by al-Qaidas local
branch and other militant groups.
The ofcials in Anbar province and Baqouba
spoke on condition of anonymity as they
were not authorized to release information.
Violence has escalated in Iraq over the past
year, particularly since late last month after
authorities dismantled an anti-government
Sunni protest camp and arrested a Sunni law-
maker on terrorism charges. To alleviate the
tension, the army pulled back from Fallujah
and Ramadi, but that allowed al-Qaida mili-
tants to seize control.
Last year, the country saw its highest
annual death toll since the worst of the
countrys sectarian bloodletting began to
subside in 2007, according to United
Nations figures. The U.N. said violence
killed 8,868 in 2013. Sundays violence
brought the death toll so far this month to
364, according to an Associated Press tally.
Iraq announces offensive against al-Qaida
OPINION 9
By George Runner
W
eve all heard dramatic
stories of lottery winners
acquiring hundreds of
millions of dollars only to declare
bankruptcy a few
years later. In fact,
studies show 70
percent of all indi-
viduals who sud-
denly receive large
amounts of money
will lose it in a
short period of
time.
The cause of this problem is
impulse spending by people who
incorrectly assume they will never
have to worry about money again.
They spend as much as they want on
whatever they want, making perma-
nent financial decisions with their
one time earnings.
This year, California essentially
won the lottery when it comes to
the budget. The governors budget
proposal shows nearly $20 billion
more in revenue will be generated
during the next fiscal year than was
collected three years ago.
Years ago, during the Davis
administration, California found
itself in a similar situation. As vice
chair of the Assembly Budget
Committee at the time, I remember
sitting in Gov. Davis office as he
personally promised to show fiscal
restraint with the states large rev-
enue windfall. Unfortunately, Gov.
Davis ultimately caved to pressure
from legislative Democrats and
authorized ongoing spending with
those temporary revenue dollars.
Gov. Davis said all the right
things, but his actions spoke louder
than his words.
Despite Gov. Browns assurances,
the messages we are hearing from
the majority party indicate we may
be on track to repeat these fiscal
mistakes. Much like an irresponsi-
ble lottery winner, legislators cant
seem to fight the impulse to spend
extra money as soon as its in the
bank.
Our increased revenue is primarily
the result of temporary tax increases
that will soon expire and volatile
capital gains that can disappear at
any time. California cannot solve
its long-term budget problems by
relying on these temporary and
unreliable solutions.
However, to go along with this
new revenue, weve already seen
proposals for increased spending.
For example, Democrats in both
houses of the Legislature have
already thrown their support behind
Senate Bill 837 (Steinberg), a bill
that will create a completely new
school grade. By establishing a
transitional kindergarten program
available to every 4-year-old child
in California, SB 837 will rack up a
price tag of nearly $1 billion by the
year 2020.
These kinds of new, permanent
spending proposals expand govern-
ment, but do nothing to invest in
the private sector.
Recently, a prominent Democratic
elected official even called for the
extension of Proposition 30, the
temporary tax increases
Californians imposed on them-
selves to get out of the fiscal hole
of overspending. The majority party
is already planning on making this
latest round of temporary tax
increases permanent before they
expire.
Job creation and economic growth
is the pathway to preventing future
financial trouble for California. Our
long-term problems will only be
solved if Gov. Brown resists the
impulse to spend our new surplus. We
need to learn from the budget mis-
takes of the past, before its too late.

The Star-Ledger, New Jersey
H
eres the sad truth about the
so-called economic recov-
ery that began in June
2009: For a large number of
Americans, it simply doesnt exist.
As the stock market made giant
gains and corporate profits hit
record highs, the median income in
America has only declined further.
And African-Americans got hit hard-
est of all: While median income
overall has dropped about 4 percent
since 2009, for blacks, it plummet-
ed by 10.9 percent.
In other words, the recession isnt
over for most Americans. This
speaks to the fundamental economic
injustice that inspired the Occupy
Wall Street protests two years ago,
and President Obamas central argu-
ment today: Widening income
inequality is the challenge of our
time and should be the issue that
shapes the 2016 election.
What we really need now is vigor-
ous government efforts to create
jobs. Instead of slashing public pro-
grams, we must invest in middle-
class Americans in order to rekindle
the demand that creates and grows
jobs. That means raising taxes on
the rich and applying more funding
to areas such as infrastructure,
research and education.
Leading Republicans say
theyre against tax hikes because
they hinder job creation. But
there is more to it. Taxes hel p
contain the debt and allow the
government t o make i nvest ment s
t hat st rengt hen t he economy,
such as spending on infrastruc-
ture, research and education. The
truth is that economic growth has
been stronger during periods of
higher tax rates on top earners.
And the self-serving argument that
the prosperity of so-called job cre-
ators will somehow trickle down to
the average American is just as base-
less. The richest Americans save
more of their earnings than others
do and will never spend enough to
make up for the tens of millions of
Americans who remain unemployed
or underemployed and the effect of
stagnant and declining wages.
Consider these numbers: In recent
decades, the incomes of the wealthi-
est 400 Americans grew five times
larger, as their tax rates declined by
nearly half. And CEO pay grew 127
times faster over the past three
decades than the pay of the average
worker.
Unless we take real steps to
reverse these trends, for most peo-
ple, economic recovery will
remain out of reach.
How to reach economic recovery
How to avoid past spending mistakes From Guangdong to
a home in San Mateo
B
en Toy, longtime resident of North Central San
Mateo, has a family story full of California history
which deserves a book, not just a column. Toys
great-grandfather came to California in the 1800s as part of
the Gold Rush. His family
was from southern China,
specically the fourth
county in Guangdong
province or the equivalent of
the Arkansas hills. He
joined many young men,
primarily from the poor
south, who came to
California to nd work and
never planned to stay. When
they had earned enough,
they returned home to visit a
wife or nd one and, if pos-
sible, bring her back to the
United States.
As part of that back-and-
forth journey, siblings were
typically spaced 10 years apart.
So it was with the senior Toy. He worked on the railroads
and dug tunnels and also picked grapes. He brought back his
son (Toys grandfather) and the two decided they didnt like
the hard life on the railroads. Instead, they opened a gam-
bling casino in a tent which they moved throughout the val-
ley to serve Chinese workers. Grandfather next became a
cook and was serving an elaborate dinner on a ship for
wealthy patrons when the 1906 earthquake struck. He didnt
like cooking on boats after that and found a culinary job in
San Francisco. There he came to the attention of a Mr. Hyde
(Hyde Street Pier, Hyde Street), a prominent and wealthy cit-
izen. Hyde hired Toy to take charge of the household and
when Toy asked to be called a butler, he was told as a
Chinese he could only be a houseboy.
***
The Hyde family moved to a ranch in Visalia and with
them came the Toys. Ben Toys dad was hired as houseboy
#2. He was 16 years old when he arrived and started third
grade in the local school. No one picked on him because he
was so big. When World War II arrived, Toys father was
assigned as a drill inspector in Florida. Later, he saw action
in Burma and received a Purple Heart.
After the war, Ben Toys father returned to China to nd a
wife. The marriage was arranged but happily for both bride
and groom, they were in love. Ben was born in China and
came to the United States when he was 1. He and his mother
were naturalized citizens while his three other siblings were
born here.
***
Bens father moved to San Mateo, became a butcher and
opened a store next to the old Econ Market ( now Hacienda)
on Monte Diablo Avenue and North Amphlett Boulevard.
The family lived around the corner on Humboldt Street.
Young Ben, who could not speak a word of English, attended
Lawrence School. He was not as lucky as his dad and was
constantly beaten. Up to then, Asians were not allowed to
buy homes in North Central but things began to ease as the
complexion of the neighborhood changed. Originally,
North Central was home to primarily Italian and Portuguese.
By the early 1960s, it was primarily Asian (both Chinese
and Japanese) and African-American. His father was able at
last to buy his own home on Idaho Street and Poplar Avenue.
Ben transferred to Turnbull School. At this time, North
Central had two elementary schools, Lawrence and Turnbull.
His public school education continued at College Park
Middle School and San Mateo High School.
***
In 1973, Ben bought a house in the 19th Avenue/Park
neighborhood for his wife and family. It was the rst time
he lived outside of the North Central neighborhood. They
raised two children there and then when his marriage ended
in divorce. His elderly parents were ailing and he moved
back to North Central in 2006. He found a house right next
to his parents home. Today, the elder Toys are deceased. Ben
has been retired for 13 years. He heads San Mateo United
Homeowners Association, while keeping active in his own
association, the Home Association of North Central San
Mateo, or HANCSM. Like many of the old-timers, his chil-
dren have not remained in the area.
And, according to Toy, North Central is a neighborhood
in transition. The primary residents are Hispanic who main-
ly live in rented houses or apartments. As the older residents
die or move out, their homes are being bought by a new
generation. Some of the old-timers are against the gentri-
cation of the neighborhood, but Toy feels the economic
investment is positive. He also supports the startups in
downtown and feels the city needs to be more business
friendly. Under the leadership of Toy and Anna Kuhre, United
Homeowners now plays a major and constructive role in city
affairs. Ben Toy represents a lot of old history but also proj-
ects the new future for his neighborhood and city.

Democrats ex-treasurer
repays fraction of $10.5M
SACRAMENTO A former
De mo c r a t i c
c a m p a i g n
treasurer who
d e f r a u d e d
h i g h - p r o f i l e
clients that
included U.S.
Sen. Dianne
Feinstein has
repaid just a
fraction of the
$10.5 mill i on
she was ordered to reimburse her
clients, federal prosecutors said
Friday.
The government has received
$94,469 toward settling Kinde
Durkees criminal debt, said
Lauren Horwood, a spokeswoman
for the U.S. attorneys office in
Sacramento. Of that, $500 went
to pay a fine and the remainder to
pay off Durkees court-ordered
restitution.
Durkee was described by prose-
cutors as the Bernie Madoff of
campaign treasurers. She was
sentenced to more than eight
years in federal prison in 2012
after pleading guilty to mail
fraud.
Prosecutors and Durkees attor-
ney said at the time that she had
mismanaged the money that was
raised on behalf of candidates, leav-
ing few assets to repay her debt.
As part of her restitution,
Durkee and her husband agreed to
turn over a retirement account
valued at about $90,000 and for-
feit her Burbank office so it could
be sold to help repay the 77 vic-
tims listed in her restitution
order.
Durkees attorney, Daniel
Nixon, did not return a telephone
message Friday.
Feinstein lost about $4.5 mil-
lion, the most of any victim in a
financial collapse that also
harmed dozens of state lawmakers
and nonprofit political groups.
Justin Berger, an attorney repre-
senting Feinsteins campaign
committees, did not return a tele-
phone message Friday.
The money went to mortgages
for Durkees home and business,
to pay her employees and to care
for her parents in a home for sen-
iors. Part went for season tickets
to the Los Angeles Dodgers,
although prosecutors say Durkee
did not appear to live a luxurious
lifestyle.
State nut farmers ban
together to fight theft
ESCALON The soaring value
of Californias nut crops is attract-
ing a new breed of thieves, who
have been making off with the
pricey commodities by the truck-
load, recalling images of cattle
rustlers of bygone
days.
In one case from this
harvest season in the
Central Valley, thieves
cut through a fence and
hauled off $400,000 in
walnuts.
Investigators sus-
pect low-level organ-
ized crime, while some
pilfered nuts are ending
up in Los Angeles for
resale at farmers mar-
kets or disappear into
the black market.
Such heists have become so
common that an industry task
force has devised ways to thwart
thieves. Domestic demand for spe-
cialty foods and the expanding
Asian market for them have
prompted a nut orchard boom in
the states agricultural heartland,
which is a worldwide leader.
Rhode Island Governor
wants to invest in the arts
PROVIDENCE, R.I. Rhode
Island Gov. Lincoln Chafee is
pushing for a big investment in
the arts as a way to build on an
already successful sector of the
states economy.
The Democratic governor wants
to ask voters to approve $35 mil-
lion in grants for upgrades at per-
forming arts centers, museums and
historic sites.
Last year the state exempted
locally produced art from the sales
tax to help the arts economy and
attract more tourists. Chafee says
his idea is the next step in boost-
ing one of Rhode Islands
strengths.
The referendum must be
approved by lawmakers before
going on the fall ballot.
Top lawmakers say they like the
idea but want to carefully review it
before deciding if the investment
is worth the cost.

WASHINGTON The chemical
spill that contaminated water for
hundreds of thousands in West
Virginia was only the latest and
most high-prole case of coal sul-
lying the nations waters.
For decades, chemicals and
waste from the coal industry have
tainted hundreds of waterways and
groundwater supplies, spoiling
private wells, shutting down sh-
ing and rendering streams virtual-
ly lifeless, according to an
Associated Press analysis of feder-
al environmental data.
But because these contaminants
are released gradually and in some
cases not tracked or regulated,
they attract much less attention
than a massive spill such as the
recent one in West Virginia.
Ive made a career of body
counts of dead sh and wildlife
made that way from coal, said
Dennis Lemly, a U.S. Forest
Service research biologist who
has spent decades chronicling the
deformities pollution from coal
mining has caused in sh.
How many years and how many
cases does it take before some-
body will step up to the plate and
say, Wait a minute, we need to
change this?
The spill of a coal-cleaning
chemical into a river in
Charleston, W.Va., left 300,000
people without water. It exposed a
potentially new and under-regulat-
ed risk to water from the coal
industry when the federal govern-
ment is still trying to close regu-
latory gaps that have contributed
to coals legacy of water pollu-
tion.
From coal mining to the waste
created when coal is burned for
electricity, pollutants associated
with coal have contaminated
waterways, wells and lakes with
far more insidious and longer-last-
ing contaminants than the chemi-
cal that spilled out of a tank farm
on the banks of the Elk River.
Chief among them are dis-
charges from coal-fired power
plants that alone are responsible
for 50 percent to 60 percent of all
toxic pollution entering the
nations water, according to the
Environmental Protection
Agency.
Thanks to even tougher air pol-
lution regulations underway, more
pollution from coal-fired power
plants is expected to enter the
nations waterways, according to a
recent EPAassessment.
Clean coal means perhaps
cleaner atmosphere, but dirtier
water, said Avner Vengosh, a
Duke University researcher who
has monitored discharges from
power plant waste ponds and land-
lls in North Carolina.
In that state, Vengosh and other
researchers found contaminants
from coal ash disposal sites
threatening the drinking water for
Charlotte, the nations 17th-
largest city, with cancer-causing
arsenic.
It is kind of a time bomb that
can erupt in some kind of specic
condition, Vengosh said. The
water shows no signs of arsenic
contamination now.
In southeastern Ohio, tainted
water draining from abandoned
coal mines shuttered a century ago
still turns portions of the Raccoon
Creek orange with iron and coats
the half-submerged rocks along
its path white with aluminum.
Public drinking water systems
in 14 West Virginia counties
where mining companies are
blasting off mountaintops to get
to coal seams exceeded state safe
drinking water standards seven
times more than in nonmining
counties, according to a study pub-
lished in a water quality journal in
2012. The systems provided water
for more than a million people.
The water quality monitoring in
mining areas is so inadequate that
most health violations likely
were not caught, said Michael
Hendryx, the studys author and a
professor of applied health at
Indiana University.
The EPA, in an environmental
assessment last year, identified
132 cases where coal-red power
plant waste has damaged rivers,
streams and lakes, and 123 where
it has tainted underground water
sources, in many cases legally,
ofcials said.

SEATTLE The Seattle Seahawks are
bringing their game-changing defense
and the 12th Man to the Big Apple for
the Super Bowl.
Seattles top-ranked defense forced three
fourth-quarter turnovers, and Russell Wilson
threw a 35-yard touchdown pass on fourth

tory over the San Francisco 49ers for the
NFC title Sunday.
Seattle will meet Denver (15-3) for the
NFL title in two weeks in the New Jersey
Meadowlands. Its the rst trip to the big
game for the Seahawks (15-3) since they
lost to Pittsburgh after the 2005 season.

SEATTLE 49ers All-Pro line-
backer NaVorro Bowman suffered
what is believed to be a torn ante-
rior cruciate ligament in his left
knee, which could require recon-
structive surgery this offseason.
Preliminary it looks like an
ACL, coach Jim Harbaugh said
following a 23-17 loss to the
Seahawks in the NFC champi-
onship game. Tough break for
NaVorro.
Bowman, who had been among
the Defensive Player of the Year
hopefuls, was injured with 8:45
remaining Sunday when he forced
a fumble near the goal line.
I look up, and NaVorro has the
ball, and Im thinking, Thats a
heck of a play, he got the ball,
fellow linebacker and close friend
Patrick Willis said.
Then all of a sudden, I dont
know what happened, I was look-
ing at him and he didnt have the
ball anymore, he was holding his
knee and was yelling. Thats
when, I dont know, I kind of lost
track of where the ball was and
more so just worried about him. I
never heard him yell like that, or
even stay down for a moment.
Bowman stripped the ball from
Jermaine Kearse at the San
Francisco 1. Kearse was hit by
safety Eric Reid and was knocked
into Bowmans extended left leg.
Bowmans knee bent awkwardly
inward. Players in the pile trying
to find the fumble immediately
started waving to the 49ers bench
for help.
Bowman was quickly carted off
the eld in a frightening scene.
Bo was like our leader, nose
tackle Glenn Dorsey said. Agreat
football player, a great human
being. Just to see that happen is
really unfortunate. I know hes
going to train hard, rehab hard and
come back even stronger.
In the second quarter, the 49ers
lost starting left guard Mike Iupati
to what the 49ers believe is a frac-
tured ankle We think so,
Harbaugh said. Iupati was injured
on Anthony Dixons 1-yard touch-
down dive.
He slowly left the locker room
with a walking boot over his left
foot and on crutches.
Iupati was down on the eld for
several minutes, then had to be
helped to the sideline by team-
mates and was putting very little
weight on his right leg. Iupati
eventually was taken to the locker
room on a cart.
The 49ers lost running back
LaMichael James for a brief time
after he took a hit from Seattles
Ricardo Lockette on a punt return.
James was on his back on the
field for several minutes before
being helped to the sideline with
his arms around trainers, but then
was back out after halftime.
Bowman leaves with left knee injury
SEATTLE Seconds after mak-
ing the game-saving play to send
Seattle to the Super Bowl, corner-
back Richard Sherman was red
up.
Sherman deected a pass intend-
ed for San Franciscos Michael
Crabtree near the corner of the end
zone with less than a minute left,
right into the arms of Seattle team-
mate Malcolm Smith to seal the
Seahawks 23-17 win.
Sherman was subsequently whis-
tled for unsportsmanlike conduct
on the play, after exchanging
words with Crabtree and making
what appeared to be a choking ges-
ture.
Asked about the incident after-
ward by Fox reporter Erin
Andrews, Sherman stole the show
and lit up Twitter with a rant that
began: Im the best corner in the
game. When you try me with a
sorry receiver like Crabtree, thats
the result you gonna get. Dont
you ever talk about me!
Sherman didnt back down later.
He apologized to Andrews, then
proceeded to call Crabtree
mediocre, making sure to annun-
ciate each syllable of the word.
I was making sure everybody
knew Crabtree was a mediocre
receiver, Sherman said. And
when you try the best corner in the
game with a mediocre receiver
thats what happens.
It was a ery, emotional rant
from Sherman, who celebrated his
first Super Bowl trip by racing
around the field after Russell
Wilson took the nal knee, then
leaping into the rst row of seats
in the south end zone to celebrate
with fans.

Manning leads Broncos to the Super Bowl
By Eddie Pells
DENVER Peyton Manning stuffed the
football into his helmet and handed it to an
equipment man for safekeeping.
The connection: Flawless, as usual.
The keepsake: Certainly one hell want to
hang on to.
The Broncos quarterback had an answer
for everyone Sunday from Tom Brady to
the New England defense to anyone who
thought he couldnt win the big one.
Manning is taking the Broncos on a trip
to New York for the Super Bowl after anoth-
er of his impeccably crafted victories
this time, a 26-16 win over the Patriots on
Sunday in the AFC title game.
Being in my 16th season, going to my
third Super Bowl, I know how hard it is to
get there, Manning said.
Especially this time.
Only three years ago, he could barely grip
a football as he started the long comeback
from surgeries that ravaged his neck and
nerve endings. And only 53 weeks ago, he
suffered a devastating loss to Baltimore in
the divisional playoffs that derailed what
looked like a Super Bowl trip in his come-
back season.
But Manning will get his chance for a sec-
ond Super Bowl ring, after all. Hell try to
become the rst starting quarterback to win
one with two different teams, at the
Meadowlands on Feb. 2 against the Seattle
Seahawks, who beat San Francisco 23-17 in
the NFC title game.
Hes been remarkable, said Broncos
coach John Fox, off to his second Super
Bowl as a head coach. Its unprecedented
what he did.
After packing away his football,
Manning ran to the 30-yard line to shake
hands with Brady. A bit later in the locker
room, he celebrated with his father, Archie,
and brothers Cooper and Eli, the Giants
quarterback who surprised Peyton much the
way Peyton surprised him by showing up at
the NFC title game two years ago.
The Indy-turned-Denver quarterback
improved to 5-10 lifetime against Brady,
but is now 2-1 in AFC title games.
I have a lot of respect for him, Brady
said. Certainly, hes a great player and he
played great today.
Though Manning threw for 400 yards, it
was more dink-and-dunk than a reworks
show in this, the 15th installment between
the NFLs two best quarterbacks of a genera-
tion. Manning set up four eld goals by
Matt Prater and put his stamp on this one
with a pair of long, meticulous and mistake-
free touchdown drives in which nothing
came cheap.
He geared down the no-huddle, hurry-up
offense that helped him set records for
touchdown passes and yardage this season
and made the Broncos the highest-scoring
team in history. The result: 93- and 80-yard
touchdown drives that each lasted more than
seven minutes; they were the two longest,
time-wise, of the season for the Broncos
(15-3).
The Broncos held the ball for 35:44. They
were 7 for 13 on third-down conversions.
To keep Tom Brady on the sideline is a
good thing, Manning said. Thats some-
thing you try to do when youre playing the
Patriots.
Manning capped the second long drive
with a 3-yard pass to Demaryius Thomas,
who got inside the overmatched Alfonzo
Dennard and left his feet to make the catch.
It gave Denver a 20-3 lead midway through
the third quarter.
From there, it was catch-up time for Brady
and the Pats (13-5), and they are not built
for that at least not this year.
We got in a hole there, Brady said. It
was just too much to dig our way out.
Ateam that averaged more than 200 yards
on the ground the last three games didnt
have much quick-strike capability. Brady,
who threw for most of his 277 yards in
comeback mode, actually led the Patriots to
a pair of fourth-quarter touchdowns. But
they were a pair of time-consuming, 80-yard
drives. The second cut the decit to 26-16
with 3:07 left, but the Broncos stopped
Shane Vereen on the 2-point conversion and
the celebration was on in Denver.
Losing is never easy, Patriots defensive
lineman Rob Ninkovich said. But when
you have somebody as talented as
(Manning), who puts in as much work and
effort, and has done it for so long, its a lit-
tle bit easier to swallow.

records in the league this year, the
second time the top seeds have
gotten to the Super Bowl in 20
seasons.
It also is a classic matchup of
the Denvers record-setting
offense against the NFLs stingiest
defense.
Moments after Richard Sherman
tipped Colin Kaepernicks pass to
teammate Malcolm Smith for the
clinching interception, the All-
Pro cornerback jumped into the
stands behind the end zone, salut-
ing the Seahawks raucous fans.
With 12th Man flags waving
everywhere, and New York, New
York blaring over the loudspeak-
ers, CenturyLink Field rocked like
never before.
Thats as sweet as it gets,
Sherman said.
This is really special, added
coach Pete Carroll, who has turned
around the Seahawks in four sea-
sons in charge. It would really be
a mistake to not remember the
connection and the relationship
between this football team and the
12th Man and these fans. Its
unbelievable.
San Francisco (14-5) led 17-13
when Wilson, given a free play as
Aldon Smith jumped offside,
hurled the ball to Jermaine Kearse,
who made a leaping catch in the
end zone.
Steven Hauschka then kicked
his third field goal, and Smith
intercepted in the end zone on the
49ers nal possession.
This feels even sweeter, with
the amazing support we have had
from the 12th Man, team owner
Paul Allen said, comparing this
Super Bowl trip to the previous
one.
Until Seattles top-ranked
defense forced a fumble and had
two picks in the nal period, the
game was marked by big offensive
plays in the second half. That was
somewhat shocking considering
the strength of both teams defens-
es.
And those plays came rapidly.
Marshawn Lynch, in full Beast
Mode, ran over a teammate and
then outsped the 49ers to the cor-
ner of the end zone for a 40-yard
TD, making it 10-10.
Kaepernick then was responsi-
ble for consecutive 22-yard gains,
hitting Michael Crabtree, then
rushing to the Seattle 28. His fum-
ble on the next play was recovered
by center Jonathan Goodwin, who
even lumbered for 2 yards.
Anquan Boldin outleapt All-Pro
safety Thomas on the next play for
a 26-yard touchdown.
Then, Doug Baldwin, who
played for 49ers coach Jim
Harbaugh at Stanford, stepped up
and through San Franciscos
coverage on a scintillating 69-
yard kickoff return that made the
stadium shake for the rst time all
day.
That set up Hauschkas 40-yard
eld goal. And a frantic nish.
Seattle took its first lead on
Wilsons throw to Kearse with
13:44 left, and CenturyLink
rocked again.
The place went silent soon after
when Niners All-Pro linebacker
NaVorro Bowman sustained an
ugly left knee injury midway and
was carted off. Bowman, who was
having a huge game, had forced a
fumble at the San Francisco 1, but
Lynch recovered.
The Seahawks had gotten their
first turnover moments earlier
when Cliff Avril stripped
Kaepernick and Michael Bennett
recovered. But Lynch and Wilson
botched a handoff on fourth down
on the play after Bowmans injury.
It took only two plays for Kam
Chancellor to haul in Kaepernicks
underthrow to Boldin, and
Hauschkas 47-yarder ended the
scoring.
But not the excitement.
Kaepernick, who rushed for 130
yards, got San Francisco to the
Seattle 18 with his arm. But his
pass for Crabtree was brilliantly
tipped by Sherman to Smith.
We knew it would come down to
us in the back end to win this
thing, Sherman said.
The nal play was similar to last
years Super Bowl ending, when
Kaepernick missed Crabtree in the
end zone from the 5.
Its tough. Any time you get
this close to the Super Bowl and
lose, its pretty upsetting, tight
end Vernon Davis said. We just
didnt get it. Weve been down this
road before in the same kind of sit-
uation. Its hard.
Whether it was nerves or just a
great play by Aldon Smith,
Wilson fumbled on Seattles rst
snap.

NHL GLANCE
LAS VEGAS Oddsmakers had
trouble picking the favorite in
what gures to be one of the most
evenly matched and heavily bet
Super Bowls ever.
Bettors knew who they wanted,
though, putting early money on
Denver and making the Broncos a
slight favorite to beat the Seattle
Seahawks in most of this citys
legal betting parlors.
Denver was favored by 1 point at
several books in the early betting,
while others had the Broncos as
high as a 3-point pick. The move
to the Broncos came after some
books had initially made the
Seahawks as much as a 2-point
pick in the game.
Were just trying to gure out
what the market will be and get a
feel of where money will go, said
Jay Kornegay, who runs the LVH
sports book and initially had the
Seahawks favored. At this point
it doesnt take a lot to move the
line.
At the South Point sports book,
Jimmy Vaccaro was on the phone
talking about where he thought
the line was going to go when a
bettor came to the window and put
$25,000 on the Broncos. That
moved the game from pick em to
the Broncos being favored by 1
point, as the odds were adjusted to
take in the bet.
Take your best shot, Vaccaro
said. Its an intriguing matchup
with no clear cut favorite.
Time was just running out in
Seattles win over the San
Francisco 49ers when the first
odds for the Super Bowl were post-
ed at most books. Bettors quickly
reacted by putting most of the
early money on the Broncos in an
initial burst of enthusiasm for a
game so even that some think it
will break the record of $98.9 mil-
lion bet in Nevadas legal sports
books last year.
Its incredible already, theyre
lined up betting this game like it
started a half hour from now,
Vaccaro said. If we dont do $100
million on this game Id be really
puzzled.
Kornegay said he made the
Seahawks a 2-point favorite in his
opening line because the
Seahawks have a slightly higher
power rating than the Broncos and
a defense that might be the key in
a game played outdoors in what
could be cold temperatures.
With the game being in New
York and the early forecast for
below normal temperatures that
favors a defensive team, he said.
It also favors a running team and
thats certainly an advantage to
the Seahawks.
Denver early favorite in Vegas
Lolo Jones talked Lauryn
Williams into trying bobsledding,
dangling the potential of another
Olympic trip as her bait.
Little did they know they were
talking about history.
Jones and Williams both
Summer Olympic veterans were
among the selections Sunday
night for the U.S. Olympic bob-
sled team, putting them in posi-
tion to join a very exclusive club.
Barring something unforeseen,
they will become the ninth and
10th Americans to compete in
both the summer and winter ver-
sions of the Games when they
compete at the Sochi Olympics
next month.
Jones, Williams and Aja Evans
were the three women chosen out
of a six-woman pool for the push
athlete spots, that word coming at
a team meeting where half the can-
didates saw their Olympic dreams
realized and the other half saw
them come to a quiet end.
I was denitely very nervous
entering the room, Jones said.
Im usually used to looking up at
a screen after I cross the nish line
to see the results. Youre just like
anxious, armpits are sweating,
dont know whats going to hap-
pen.
Jones was one hurdle away from
winning gold at the Beijing
Olympics, then nished fourth at
the London Games. Looking for a
break from the spotlight but not
sports, she turned to bobsled in
the fall of 2012, winning a World
Cup medal in her rst race and
quickly announcing herself as a
legit Sochi contender.
Then she recruited Williams after
the 2012 400-meter relay gold
medalist and former world champi-
on sprinter retired from track,
talking her into the bobsled game.
And all Williams has done as a
rookie is help the U.S. win three
medals in her four World Cup
races, including a gold on Sunday.
I joined bobsled just to be a
helper and to add positive energy
to the team, Williams said. If my
name wasnt called, I wasnt going
to be upset. Ive enjoyed this jour-
ney. Ive enjoyed getting to know
everyone. Ive enjoyed the chal-
lenge.
Jones, Williams picked for
U.S. Olympic bobsled team

MELBOURNE, Australia
Victoria Azarenka advanced to the
quarterfinals and firmed as a
favorite to claim a third straight
Australian Open title on Monday
after Maria Sharapova joined
Serena Williams on the fourth-
round casualty list.
Azarenka had a 6-3, 6-2 win over
No. 13-seeded Sloane Stephens in
a match that didnt have any of the
drama of their contentious semi-
nal here last year.
Third-seeded Sharapova lost 3-
6, 6-4, 6-1 to Dominika
Cibulkova in the earlier match on
Rod Laver Arena, struggling with
her serve in the second and third
sets and making 45 unforced errors
as she tried to claw her way back.
Her serve started to backre from
the eighth game, when she was
broken at love while trying to
serve out the rst set.
During a run of four breaks
against her, Sharapova won only
three points on her own serve and
fell 5-0 behind in the second set.
The four-time major winner ral-
lied to win four straight games
before Cibulkova held to level the
match. After taking an off-court
medical time out after the second
set for a hip strain, she was broken
immediately and had seven double-
faults in the third set.
Sharapova was two tournaments
into a comeback from a prolonged
layoff with a right shoulder injury,
and said her run to the fourth round
was a positive sign because she
was healthy and back on tour.
I have to look at the positives
and see where I have come from in
four or ve months. I havent
played a lot of tennis in those six
months, said Sharapova, who
won the Australian title in 2008
and lost two other nals.
So I certainly would have loved
to play a little bit more before
playing a Grand Slam, but this is
the chance that I was given.
Top-ranked Williams, a five-
time Australian Open champion,
was knocked out in a three-set loss
to 14th-seeded Ana Ivanovic on
Sunday, and later revealed she had
a back problem that had her con-
sidering withdrawing from the
tournament.
Another former No. 1 was
knocked out when No. 11 Simona
Halep beat Jelena Jankovic 6-4, 2-
6, 6-0 to set up a quarterfinal
against Cibulkova.
Sharapova may stick around in
Melbourne to support her
boyfriend, Grigor Dimitrov, who
reached the quarternals for the
rst time with a 6-3, 3-6, 6-2, 6-4
win over Roberto Bautista Agut.
The 22-year-old Bulgarian will
next play the winner of Mondays
later match between top-ranked
Rafael Nadal and No. 16 Kei
Nishikori of Japan.
Azarenka, meanwhile, was mak-
ing herself comfortable at
Melbourne Park, where shes on an
18-match winning streak.
I just love playing here, the
surroundings, it feels so cozy ...
feels like home, she said after her
win over Stephens. It was a
rematch of their seminal last year
when Azarenka took a medical
timeout just when it appeared
Stephens was getting momentum,
then came back and won the
match.
In the rst set, Stephens acci-
dently hit Azarenka in the hip area
with a shot at the net, and
Azarenka sent a forehand whizzing
past Stephens a few games later.
There was very little tension,
though, after Azarenka broke
Stephens serve to open the sec-
ond set and then again to take a 5-
2. The second-seeded Azarenka
didnt have any trouble closing
out this time, saving one set point
before setting up match point with
an ace.
Sharapova out in another
early upset at Aussie Open
LA QUINTA Patrick Reed
found his putting touch right when
things started to getting interest-
ing in the final round of the
Humana Challenge.
After shooting three straight 9-
under 63s to open a seven-stroke
lead, Reed had a 1-under 71 on
Sunday at PGAWests to beat Ryan
Palmer by two strokes.
Alot tougher than the rst three
rounds, Reed said. My speed was
off today. I left a lot of putts short.
It seemed like the rst three days
the ball was just trickling over the
front edge, and today it seemed
like it came to a screeching halt.
Finally resembling the guy who
talked Saturday about being in a
putting coma, Reed ran in an 18-
footer for birdie on the par-3 15th
to push his lead to three strokes.
It felt comfortable. It felt
great, Reed said. I was able to
play the last three holes just for
par rather than trying to make
birdies or trying to make some-
thing happen.
He did par the last three to nish
at 28-under 260 in the three-course
event that he opened and closed on
the Arnold Palmer Private Course.
The 23-year-old Reed has two
victories in his rst 46 PGA Tour
starts, winning the Wyndham
Championship in August. He was
projected to jump from 73rd to
42nd in the world ranking, enough
to lock up a spot in the 64-man
Match Play Championship.
I always play to try to prove to
everybody that I belong out here,
Reed said. As well as, I belong,
not only out here on the PGATour,
but also with the best players in
the world.
Reed took a call from former
President Bill Clinton the tour-
nament is run in partnership with
the Clinton Foundation during
his interview session.
He told me to get myself back
in that zone more often, Reed
said. Because he said it was a lot
of fun to watch.
Palmer made a 15-foot eagle putt
on the nal hole for a 63.
What can you do with what
Patrick did this week? Palmer
said. Its ridiculous what he did.
Amazing how good he played.
Well come up a couple short, but
it was a win in my game because I
was playing for second today.
Zach Johnson and Justin
Leonard tied for third at 25 under.
Johnson birdied the final five
holes for a 62, the best round of
the week.
I got red hot at the end,
Johnson said.
The Kapalua winner is taking a
four-week break.
Patrick Reed holds
on to win Humana

hen I rst joined PHS/SPCA, I
asked our behaviorist why my
dog and others I see around the
dog park will do their business, then take
a step forward and use their back paws to
scratch at the ground, in what looks like
a lame attempt to cover up their poop the
same way a cat might in a litter box. I g-
ured dogs just werent as smart or clean as
cats. Not the case, at least not in terms of
this particular behavior. Dogs arent try-
ing to cover up their mess. They have
scent glands in their paws and are actually
leaving their scent behind. Now, you
would think that poop, alone, would be
enough of a calling card, but some dogs
go the extra mile to let others know where
theyve been. Cats have a similarly inter-
esting behavior, but it involves direct
contact with their owner. Its common for
a cat to rub its face on their owners head.
Many rst-time cat owners dont under-
stand the behavior. Dont worry. Its a
sign of comfort and affection. Rubbing,
for a cat, is a natural instinctive behavior.
They have scent glands located on their
head and around their mouth. Cats may rub
on household objects like door jams,
table and chair legs or your legs. As he
rubs, hes leaving behind facial
pheromones. Folks who study cats have
learned that rubbing actions indicate a
positive emotion and a sign of comfort
versus scent marking described above
which indicates stress or a threat. Does
Scooter scoot across your carpet? Murray
does this from time to time, which is
always a nice look when we have compa-
ny! Many people assume this means the
dog has worms. He might, but this is usu-
ally not the case. Its more likely that
hes suffering from allergies or he has dis-
comfort related to an impacted anal gland.
Arent you glad you asked?

pany which uses Opera software to
deliver its advertising.
Using a browser on a phone is
very different, de Silva said.
Theres more complexity in mak-
ing advertising work on mobile.
Surging mobile markets, and
Operas decision to latch onto this,
has led to the companys growth,
he said. The company is expanding
into markets in Latin America, Asia
and elsewhere where it is also help-
ing create ads that engage users
with video elements and 3D visu-
als, he added.
Its the kind of thing that draws
people to a brand, he said.
Whats coming down the
pipeline for the company?
Currently, it is beta testing a serv-
ice called Opera Max on Android
devices. The app maximizes ones
data plan by compressing data from
all the users apps, he said. Its set
to officially launch in the near
future. Because Opera compresses
data use on other fronts, he said it
makes it extremely popular in
places where data is still expen-
sive. Additionally, Opera is differ-
ent from other web browsers like
Googles Chrome, Safari, Internet
Explorer and others because of its
speed, de Silva said.

KABUL, Afghanistan ATaliban attack
against a popular Kabul restaurant killed 21
people, authorities said Saturday, making it
the deadliest single attack against foreign
civilians in the course of a nearly 13-year
U.S.-led war there now approaching its end.
The attack comes as security has been
deteriorating and apprehension has been
growing among Afghans over their coun-
trys future as U.S.-led foreign forces pre-
pare for a nal withdrawal at the end of the
year.
Afghan President Hamid Karzai, who is
deferring signing an agreement allowing
U.S. forces to stay past the planned with-
draw until after the countrys April 5 presi-
dential election, criticized America while
condemning the attack.
If NATO forces and in the lead the United
States of America want to cooperate and be
united with Afghan people, they must target
terrorism, he said without fully elaborat-
ing on what America should be doing. He
added that America had followed a policy
that was not successful in the past decade.
The dead from Fridays assault against La
Taverna du Liban included 14 foreigners and
eight Afghans, all civilians. The U.S.
Embassy in Kabul said late Saturday that
three Americans were killed. Previously,
those identied included two U.S. citizens
working for the American University of
Afghanistan and a victim identied by the
United Nations as a Somali-American.
Others identified were two Britons
development specialist Dharmender Singh
Phangura and close protection officer
Simon Chase two Canadians who worked
for a nancial services rm, two Lebanese,
a Danish police officer, a Russian, a
Malaysian and a Pakistani. Phangura, who
along with the Malaysian worked as an
adviser for Adam Smith International, was
to run as a Labour Party candidate in upcom-
ing elections for the European Parliament.
Also among the dead were the
International Monetary Funds Lebanese
representative, Wabel Abdallah, and Vadim
Nazarov, a Russian who was the chief polit-
ical affairs ofcer at the U.N. Mission in
Afghanistan. Nazarov was one of the U.Ns
most experienced ofcials, uent in the
countrys languages and with experience
dating back to the 1980s. He was one of
three U.N. victims.
The attack was condemned by the U.N.
Security Council, NATO, the White House
and the European Union.
There is no possible justication for
this attack, which has killed innocent civil-
ians, including Americans, working every
day to help the Afghan people achieve a
better future with higher education and eco-
nomic assistance, the White House said in
a statement Saturday.

TEHRAN, Iran Ahead of the start of a
nuclear deal between Iran and world pow-
ers, an official in the Islamic Republic
called limiting uranium enrichment and
diluting its stockpile the countrys most
important commitments, state radio
reported Sunday.
The comments by Behrouz Kamalvandi,
a spokesman of Irans atomic department,
show how the government of moderate
President Hassan Rouhani welcomes the
deal, which begins Monday. International
inspectors also already have arrived in
Tehran, preparing for the government
opening its facilities to them.
Implementation of mutual commit-
ments in the framework of the Geneva deal
will begin from tomorrow, Kamalvandi
said. Under the agreement, suspension of
20-percent enrichment of uranium and
the diluting of the current stockpile of
enriched uranium are the most impor-
tant commitments of our country.
Iran struck the deal in November with
the so-called P5+1 countries Britain,
China, France, Germany, Russia and the
United States. Negotiators agreed to final
terms of the deal Jan. 13.
Under the agreement, Iran will limit
its uranium enrichment to 5 percent
t he grade commonl y used t o power
reactors. The deal also commits Iran to
st op produci ng 20 percent enri ched
uranium which is only a technical
step away from weapons-grade material
and t o neut ral i ze i t s 20 percent
st ockpi l e over t he si x mont hs.
In exchange, economic sanctions Iran
faces would be eased for six months.
Senior officials in U.S. President Barack
Obamas administration have put the total
relief figure at some $7 billion.
During the six months, negotiations
between Iran and the world powers would
continue in hopes of reaching a perma-
nent deal.
The West fears Irans nuclear program
could allow it to build an atomic
weapon. Iran insists its nuclear program
is for peaceful purposes, like power gen-
eration and medical research.
On Saturday a team of international
inspectors arrived in Tehran in prepara-
t i on of begi nni ng t hei r i nspect i ons.
They will visit Fordo, where Iran enrich-
es its 20 percent uranium, as well as its
Natanz facility, which produces 5 per-
cent enriched uranium, to ensure the
country complies with the deal.
Kamalvandi said Sunday that Iran will
use centrifuges now producing 20 percent
enriched uranium to instead produce 5
percent enriched uranium to comply with
the agreement.
But suspicions remain high in both
Tehran and Washington after decades of
hostility dating back to the 1979 Islamic
Revolution in Iran that ousted the U.S.-
backed shah dynasty. Rouhani, Irans new
reformist president, has reached out to the
West, but must depend on support from
Irans top decision-maker, Supreme Leader
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, for his initiatives
amid criticism from hard-line factions.
Hard-liners in Iran have already called
the deal a poison chalice and are
threatening legislation to increase ura-
nium enrichment. Meanwhile, U.S. law-
makers have threatened to pass new
sanctions legislation against Iran that
would take effect if Tehran violates the
interim nuclear deal or lets it expire
without a follow-up accord.

than $150,000 for the market value of
the goods Valerie Kerr allegedly pur-
chased on the nonprots dime.
Valerie Kerr worked at AcroSports
until Jan. 18, 2011 when her alleged
embezzlement was uncovered.
In her position, she was charged
with managing checks and bank
accounts and providing financial
reports to the organizations ofcer and
directors, according to the suit.
During that time, she allegedly
transferred the groups money into her
own accounts and used its debit card to
purchase items for personal use by her
and her then-husband with the majori-
ty used to improve and remodel their
South San Francisco home. The Kerrs
have since divorced.
She allegedly hid the transfers and
buys by giving AcroSports ofcers
and board false nancial information
and reports.
The nonprot stated in the suit it is
uncertain of exactly how much Kerr
reportedly took but believes the
amount to exceed $200,000. Along
with the damages, the suit also
demands the Kerrs provide accounting
for the money, property and any prof-
its resulting from them.
The suit also claims Jeffrey Kerr was
aware of his wifes actions and
encouraged her to continue taking
money and using the debit card to pur-
chase home goods.
Neither AcroSports nor its attorney
returned inquires for comment.
A case management conference is
scheduled for April 16.
The gyms claims against the Kerrs
is not their rst brush with the law. In
October, 2002 both were arrested by
Palo Alto police on suspicion of mis-
using confidential law enforcement
information and falsely reporting an
emergency. Kerr was a dispatcher and
had been employed by the city for two
years at the time, according to pub-
lished reports that said she was accused
of using her position to look up con-
dential information on a person related
to her husband and also caused a false
report of an emergency to be led relat-
ed to the same person.
The outcome of that case was not
immediately available.

LAWSUIT
To allow the university to welcome
in its rst class of entrepreneurial stu-
dents last year, the city issued tempo-
rary certicates of occupancy, which
are typically acceptable for 90 days,
according to a staff report. The permits
were issued in April and August. As the
year came to a close, city staff began
to receive complaints about the uni-
versitys exterior so they decided to
approach the council for direction.
Since the matter was agendized, Draper
has become responsive and coopera-
tive, Walsh said.
The had received temporary certi-
cates of occupancy for a variety of
their building permits, but some
things were taking a little bit of time
and we wanted to get some direction
from [the City Council] on how to pro-
ceed. Since weve agendized it,
theyre working diligently, Walsh
said.
When well-known venture capitalist
Tim Draper acquired the Benjamin
Franklin Hotel, Collective building
and a former bank building in down-
town San Mateo in 2011, the city was
thrilled to welcome the innovative
university for young entrepreneurs
into its midst, Walsh said.
I think its been very positive for
the community. I think its brought
more activity to the downtown and its
brought the young age group of folks
that are going to the school. So I think
its been absolutely positive for San
Mateo, Walsh said.
As the notable and progressive
short-term boarding school chose to
make San Mateo its home, the city rec-
ognized considerable community ben-
ets and issued the temporary permits
in good faith, according to the report.
Permit in hand, Draper was able to
begin redeveloping the previously
underutilized property to welcome a
fresh batch of eager students and cele-
brate its grand opening in October,
according to the report.
The opening went off with a bang
and overall the university has done a
good job preserving the Benjamin
Franklin Hotel, Walsh said. But part of
the holdup was its grand ideas of land-
scaping and installing a living wall
turned out to not be compatible with
the historic building, Jillson said.
Having the opportunity tomorrow to
collaborate with the city and receive
guidance from the council will help the
university progress through the trials,
Jillson said.
The university will continue to part-
ner with the city and work with citys
arborist to resolve any outstanding
obligations. Once the gritty details
have been smoothed over, Draper
University of Heroes will be ready for
a nal walkthrough, Jillson said.
We love San Mateo, we really do,
Jillson said. From our standpoint,
being able to build this campus and
just the opportunity to build that kind
of ecosphere has just been awesome.

DRAPER
they issued permits for individuals to
build roads and charge tolls for people
to use them. The San Bruno Toll Road,
which was later named the San Mateo
Road, was one of these business enter-
prises built by businessmen of
Redwood City. San Mateo Avenue
became the second business avenue in
the city, but it attracted few buildings
until the 1920s.
San Bruno is a bedroom community.
Businesses are essentially service
businesses grocery stores, drug
stores, etc. that are small, personal
and run by people who like small com-
munities. The main story of the area as
it is told through history deals with the
people who settled here and the small
businesses that developed to service
this unique community.
El Camino Real bisected the terrain
between the western hills and the water
of the Bay, but this path played an
important part in the development of
the Peninsula. The Spanish and later
the Mexicans used this dirt path exclu-
sively for travel between San
Francisco and San Jose, but after
Californias admission to the Union in
1850, commercial interests and struc-
tures were attracted to it. By the early
1900s, when real estate developers
began platting land into 25-foot lots
for housing sites, San Bruno began
developing as a rural community
accessible to surrounding communi-
ties by El Camino Real, the railroad ,
the #40 Trolley Line, and the new
machine on the scene, the automobile.
The communitys response to the auto-
mobile was slow, only a few auto
shops and gas stations, but eventually
the businesses realized it was here to
stay and began exploiting its appeal
and usefulness. Spurred on by the
Earthquake of 1906, more than 1,400
people moved onto the vacant land-
scape and, by 1914, the city was incor-
porated.

Fredricks appears in the Monday edi-
tion of the Daily Journal.

By Jake Coyle
LOS ANGELES Hollywood loves a
sequel, and this awards season is shaping
up to be one.
Just as Argo emerged as the unlikely
victor over Lincoln last year, another
1970s-set crowd-pleaser is turning into
the Academy Awards favorite over a
solemn historical epic about slavery.
David O. Russells American Hustle
took the Screen Actors Guild Awards t op
honor for outstanding cast on Saturday
night, beating out Steve McQueens
acclaimed 12 Years a Slave. Because
actors make up the largest branch of the
Academy of Motion Picture Arts and
Sciences, the SAG Awards (which last year
picked Argo) are considered one of the
best indicators of the Oscars.
Just days ago, the Academy Awards nom-
inations set up a trio of front-runners,
bestowing 10 nods on American Hustle
and Gravity, and nine on 12 Years a
Slave. But though no actor was individu-
ally honored by the guild for American
Hustle, the Abscam tale now appears to
have an edge over its Oscar rivals.
Speaking for a cast that includes Amy
Adams, Christian Bale and Jennifer
Lawrence, Bradley Cooper credited
Russell as the epitome of the actors
director.
He makes you feel like youre part of
the family, whether youre Robert DeNiro
or youre Patty Mack, Cooper said at the
Shrine Auditorium ceremony in Los
Angeles. You are part of the family.
In addition to last years Argo, SAG
cast awards have lined up with such past
Oscar best-picture winners as The Kings
Speech, Slumdog Millionaire and No
Country for Old Men. But the guild has
also diverged with picks like The Help,
Inglourious Basterds and Little Miss
Sunshine.
Saturdays awards were a somewhat low-
key affair with a few memorable speeches
but no earthquakes in a rapidly solidify-
ing award season. The nights acting win-
ners Matthew McConaughey (Dallas
Buyers Club), Cate Blanchett (Blue
Jasmine), Lupita Nyongo (12 Years a
Slave) and Jared Leto (Dallas Buyers
Club) are each probably the favorites
of their categories.
It really shines a great light on this
bull ride we call acting, said
McConaughey, honored for lead actor in
the Texas HIV drama. Ive been able to
recently find some characters that I can
humble myself to their humanities and get
feverishly drunk on their obsessions.
