Leading water provider faces $3 million fine


State regulators allege Cal Waters misconduct killed endangered fish
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

San Mateos water provider is facing a


whopping $3 million penalty, the highest
every proposed in the area by state regulators, for leaking more than 8 million gallons of chemically treated drinking water
killing endangered fish in the San Mateo
and Polhemus creeks last year.
The California Regional Water Quality

Control Boards San Francisco Bay Region


issued an administrative civil complaint
Monday alleging the California Water
Service Company allowed a failing water
main leak nearly 2,280 gallons per minute
between Oct. 25-29, 2013, causing substantial erosion and killing 276 fish,
including 70 endangered steelhead trout.
The large fish kill resulted from the chemical chloramine, which is used to treat
drinking water and safe for humans, but

deadly to fish, said Lila Tang, the regional


boards chief of wastewater control and
enforcement division.
Its the highest administrative fine
weve ever proposed [in this region], Tang
said. The main reason is it was a discharge
of a large quantity of water that resulted in a
large fish kill in San Mateo Creek. It was
over 8 million gallons in five days and one
of the factors against Cal Water, they had a
notification of a drop in pressure in their

system but they didnt investigate it until it


got so bad.
The water control board will vote on
whether to approve the proposed
$3,060,700 fine, up to half of which Cal
Water could opt to pay toward local environmental restoration efforts, Tang said.
The leak came from a cracked bell joint in
a 12-inch diameter pipe buried 10 to 12 feet

UC tuition tension builds


Hikes tentatively approved despite
protest from governor and students
By Lisa Leff

SAN FRANCISCO A committee of the University of


Californias governing board voted
Wednesday for a tuition increase during
each of the next five years over the
protests of Gov. Jerry Brown, legislative
leaders and students.
After running a gauntlet of protesters,
the committee voted 7-2 to approve the
plan recommended by UC President Janet
Napolitano that would raise tuition as
much as 5 percent annually.
Napolitano has said the increase was
Janet
contingent on the state not giving the
Napolitano
10-campus system more money than currently budgeted.
The full board of regents is expected to consider the plan
Thursday, with a majority already indicating they support
it.
Under the plan, the average annual cost of a UC education
for California residents would go up $612 to $12,804 next
fall and to $15,564 by fall 2019. Tuition rates at the 10
schools have been frozen for three years.
The meeting got testy after Brown a member of the
committee insisted the systems finances have improved
under his watch, and that Napolitano and the regents should
be able to make do without raising tuition.

Gov. Jerry Brown speaks during a meeting on a vote to raise tuition at the University of California San Francisco.

Feds accused lab of

SAN FRANCISCO Inspectors say
a Northern California testing laboratory violated federal law when a rabbit
that was presumed dead was discovered
alive in a freezer for carcasses.
Staffers at Pacific BioLabs in
Hercules had tried to euthanize the animal, one of many used to test pharmaceuticals and medical devices. But U.S.
Department of Agriculture inspectors
found the rabbit wasnt dead when it
was put in the freezer.
The agency says it found the breach

which measure nearly a foot long
(about 30 centimeters), with the
largest ones weighing in bigger than a

The couple began collecting hutias
about five years ago when they found
one languishing on a roadside and
named her Congui. They found her a
mate and now have more than a halfdozen hutias in their home about 25
miles (40 kilometers) east of the capital, Havana.
Congui and her brood like to drink

Ring flushed by kid


returned to California family
UNION CITY Sanitation workers
have returned an heirloom diamond
and sapphire ring to a San Francisco
Bay Area family whose 3-year-old son
flushed it down the toilet.
After several attempts, Union
Sanitary District crews found the ring
last week, about a month and a half
after it disappeared from Munazzar and
Mehvish Tapals home in Union City.
Wastewater Collection Supervisor
Shawn Nesgis tells KTVU-TV that the
ring traveled about a third of a mile.
Crews flushed the sewer lines and
discovered the ring after vacuuming up
debris. Nesgis equated the discovery to
finding a needle in a haystack.

Pilgrim Kitchen, a popular doughnut and bake shop in


Belmont, reopened after a six-month closure due to environmental code regulations.
So glad that its finally open. They really do make a great
product. Ive tried many doughnuts from many places and
Pilgrims are always fresh and not greasy, said Robert
Belot, resident and customer since 1977.
Last May, the popular bakery located on El Camino Real
shut down after code enforcement officers received a complaint about sewage surfacing in the general vicinity of the
business.
Upon investigation, it was determined that the business
had conducted illegal repairs to its sewer line causing
sewage to discharge into a nearby storm drain, according to
Heather Forshey, director of Environmental Health Services
for San Mateo County.
When Pilgrim Kitchen was officially tagged for closure
May 22, Mark Nolfi, a building official for Belmont, said
the owners had to obtain a plumbing permit from Belmonts
building department and Caltrans because the necessary
repairs encroached onto El Camino Real, a state highway.
Nolfi said the city would do what they could to get them
back and running and took the lead with repairs and helped
identify certified plumbers who could do the job.
According to owner Steven Le, the landlord and the city
were instrumental in getting his business back up and running.
The official reopening of Pilgrim Kitchen was Oct. 29 and
Le said their usual stream of customers is already making
their way back.
Pilgrim Kitchen is at 311 El Camino Real. Hours are 5

Buffalo area hit with epic snow

firehouse after the snow prevented
her from reaching the hospital.
Even for Buffalo, a place that
typically shrugs at snow, this was
an epic snowfall the kind of
onslaught folks will be telling
their grandchildren about.
The Buffalo area found itself
buried under as much as 5 1/2 feet
of snow Wednesday, with another

lake-effect storm expected to


bring 2 to 3 more feet by late
Thursday.
This is an historic event. When
all is said and done, this snowstorm will break all sorts of
records, and thats saying something in Buffalo, Gov. Andrew
Cuomo said during a visit to the
city.
The storm came in so fast and
furious over Lake Erie early
Tuesday it trapped more than 100
vehicles along a 132-mile stretch
of the New York State Thruway that
remained closed Wednesday.
People were marooned at homes,
on highways and at work.

SACRAMENTO A steadily
improving economy will buffer
Californias budget from a drop in
revenue expected when temporary
tax hikes begin to expire in the
coming years, the states nonpartisan Legislative Analysts Office
said Wednesday.
The report from Legislative
Analyst Mac Taylor examined
state revenue trends through
2019, the first year after the
Proposition 30 tax hikes expire.
The expiring tax increases will
not necessarily cause a sudden revenue drop off a fiscal cliff
for the annual state budget
process, Taylor said.
In 2012, voters approved Gov.
Jerry Browns proposal to raise an
additional $6 billion a year
through higher taxes. The
statewide sales tax was raised to
7.5 percent, an increase that will
expire at the end of 2016. An
increase in income taxes on the
wealthy will expire at the end of
2018.
Some Democratic lawmakers
have suggested extending the tax
hikes. But Brown promised a temporary hike when he persuaded
voters to approve them, and
Republicans oppose an extension.
When Proposition 30 passed,
Brown said it made Californias
tax system fairer and would help
prevent budget cuts to schools,
colleges and universities.
The governor has made it clear

The governor
has made it clear that
Proposition 30 was a
temporary measure.
H.D. Palmer, the
governors finance spokesman

that Proposition 30 was a temporary measure, said H.D. Palmer,


the
governors
finance
spokesman.
Senate President Pro Tem Kevin
de Leon, D-Los Angeles, said he
looks forward to working with the
governor and lawmakers on a balanced approach between being fiscally prudent and improving
lives.
First and foremost, we need to
be careful stewards of the states
budget . . . take advantage of
Californias continued economic
growth and revenue stability by
allocating resources where they
are going to make the most difference for Californians, such as education, health care and infrastructure, de Leon said in a statement.
The analysts report also projects a $4.2 billion reserve for the
fiscal year that will start next
July. That includes a $2 billion
deposit into the states rainy-day
fund, which was modified when
voters approved Proposition 2
earlier this month.
Much of the extra money will go
to public education, making the
near-term outlook for schools and
community colleges especially
favorable, the report said.

Immigrants baffled by
HealthCare.gov lapse
By Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON

HealthCare.gov is working better,


but immigrants are running into
what looks like an obvious slipup.
Call it the green card glitch: The
website has no clear path to
upload the government identification document that shows they are
legal U.S. residents, and entitled
to benefits under President Barack
Obamas health care law.
Its a baffling omission, say
consumers and counselors assisting with this years sign-up drive.
It doesnt list the green card as
an option to upload, said
Elizabeth Colvin of Foundation
Communities, an Austin, Texas,
group that serves low-income
people, including many immigrants. Theres a way to upload
copies of other types of documentation, Colvin said, but not green
cards.
The limited list of documents is
confusing people and needs to be
updated to include all accepted documents to verify identity, she
added.
Administration
spokesman
Aaron Albright said a fix is in the
works. The issue does not affect
all applications from immigrants,

he said, but certain cases where


eligibility is unclear.
We are working to make it clear
that consumers with any type of
immigration issue can upload any
form that is requested, including a
copy of their green card, said
Albright.
That cant happen fast enough,
said Angel Padilla, health policy
analyst
for
the
National
Immigration Law Center. These
are the same type of glitches that
immigrant families encountered
last year during the first open
enrollment.
Reaching immigrants, particularly Hispanics and Asians, is a
priority as the administration
seeks to increase the number of
people signed up for subsidized
private health insurance through
federal and state exchanges.
Latinos are the largest pool of
immigrant applicants, and many
hesitated to sign up last time.
A total of about 7 million people are now enrolled, and Health
and Human Services Secretary
Sylvia M. Burwell has set a target of 9. 1 million for 2015.
Though that would represent a 30
percent enrollment increase, its
well below the 13 million that
the nonpartisan Congressional
Budget Office had forecast for
2015. The markets are for people who dont have access to

HealthCare.gov has no clear path to upload the government identification document that shows they are legal

coverage on the job.
Compared with last years website dysfunction, the green card
glitch is just an irritant, something that requires extra effort
from certain applicants and that
may cause additional anxiety.
Last year, people were getting
kicked out; the system was constantly being shut down, said
Colvin. We welcome the changes
and improvements.
Immigrants can enter their green

card number on the website. But


what happens next is creating
confusion.
Some applicants say they have
been told by the HealthCare.gov
call center to mail in copies of
their green cards. Thats a worry,
since there have been widespread
complaints that documents sent in
the mail for this years coverage
got lost.
Some people are uploading
green cards anyway under website

labels for other types of documentation, and hoping the government will notice.
Its not the only way that immigrants will have to jump through
hoops to get covered.
HealthCare.govs new, simpler
online application cut 76 screens
down to 16 for most consumers.
But it cant be used by legal immigrants and naturalized U.S. citizens because of extra steps
required for verification.

Obama to announce immigration action Thursday


By Jim Kuhnhenn and Erica Werner
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON In a broad test of his


executive powers, President Barack Obama
declared Wednesday he will sidestep
Congress and order his own federal action
on immigration in measures that could
spare from deportation as many as 5 million
people illegally in the U.S. and set up one
of the most pitched partisan confrontations
of his presidency.
Obama declared that Washington has
allowed Americas immigration problem to
fester for too long.
The president will use an 8 p.m. EST
address Thursday to announce his measures
and will sign the executive actions during a
rally in Las Vegas on Friday. In doing so,
Obama will be taking an aggressive stand
that he had once insisted was beyond his
presidential power.
As many as 5 million people in the country illegally are likely to be protected from
deportation and made eligible for work permits under the plan. They would not have a
path to citizenship, however, and the
actions could be reversed by a new president
in two years. Officials said the eligible
immigrants would not be entitled to federal
benefits including health care tax credits
under Obamas plan.
The 5 million estimate includes extending deportation protections to parents and
spouses of U.S. citizens and permanent residents who have been in the country for five
years. The president also is likely to expand
his 2-year-old program that protects young
immigrants from deportation. The administration had considered extending the execu-

tive action to parents of young immigrants


covered under the 2012 Obama directive,
but immigration advocates said they did not
expect the parents to be included in the final
plan.
What Im going to be laying out is the
things that I can do with my lawful authority as president to make the system better,
even as I continue to work with Congress
and encourage them to get a bipartisan,
comprehensive bill that can solve the
entire problem, Obama said in a video on
Facebook.
Laying the groundwork for his actions,
Obama invited 18 Democratic members of
the House and Senate but no Republicans
to dinner at the White House on
Wednesday. Among the networks airing his
Thursday speech will be Univision, which
will interrupt the Latin Grammys to carry
his remarks, assuring him a huge Spanishspeaking audience. The major broadcast
networks ABC, CBS and NBC were
not planning to air the speech, but cable
news networks were.
Obama is to speak at Las Vegas Del Sol
High School on Friday, a school with a
large population of non-English speaking
students where Obama unveiled his blueprint for comprehensive immigration legislation in 2013.
Republicans vehemently oppose the
presidents likely actions but are deeply
divided and have spent much of the week
intensely debating how to respond. Some
conservative members have threatened to
pursue a government shutdown and one
two-term Republican Rep. Mo Brooks of
Alabama raised the specter of impeachment on Wednesday.

President signs legislation to


revamp federal child care aid
By Nedra Pickler
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON Federally subsidized


child care providers will have to conduct
criminal background checks on their workers and undergo a yearly inspection under
legislation signed into law by President
Barack Obama on Wednesday.
Obama said the first revamping of the
governments chief child care program in
nearly two decades will improve safety and
the quality of child care, plus give working
parents more peace of mind. Lawmakers
gave final approval to the legislation
Monday in a rare bipartisan agreement for a
Congress thats been dominated by partisan
strife.
It
shows
that
Democrats
and
Republicans, when it comes to making sure
our kids are getting the best possible education, are united, Obama said, surrounded in
the Oval Office by lawmakers from both parties who worked to get the legislation
passed. As he signed the document using a
tray of 10 pens, Obama said, I love signing
bills. Id like to do it more often. What do
you say, guys?
Under the $5.3 billion-a-year program,
low-income parents who work are enrolled

in school or job training or who need protective services can use vouchers to pay for
childcare costs at homes and centers. It
served an estimated 1.5 million children
under age 13 last year.
The new law will require states to conduct
at least one inspection annually of daycare
centers receiving federal funds, beginning
within two years. Criminal background
checks for staff must be conducted by Sept.
2017, and the law also requires that workers
be trained in first aid and other safety needs.
The law also allows parents whose
incomes rise above the programs limits to
continue receiving child care for at least a
year. Currently, they can be disqualified
within a month. Obama said that is important so parents wont worry about immediately losing care if they find a job or get a
raise.
The Child Care and Development Block
Grant program was first enacted in 1990
under President George H.W. Bush and was
last updated in 1996.
Obama said he pushed legislation to overhaul the child care standards in 2010, but
when it didnt pass his administration began
a rulemaking process to try to accomplish
some of the goals. He said now the administration will end that rulemaking and focus
on implementing the law.

Secretary of State in diplomatic


overdrive on Iran nuclear deal
By Matthew Lee
and Bradley Klapper
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LONDON With a deadline for


Iranian nuclear deal fast approaching, U.S. Secretary of State John
Kerry embarked Wednesday on a
frenzy of high-stakes diplomacy in
a last-minute push to secure an
agreement or at least prevent the
process from collapsing.
As senior negotiators huddled for
a second day in Vienna, Kerry held
separate meetings in London. He
planned a trip to Paris Wednesday.
Kerry was still weighing when he
might join the larger effort in the
Austrian capital where negotiators
are racing against the clock to
forge a pact over the next five days
to prevent Iran from reaching the
capability to produce atomic
weapons.
Despite his efforts, though,
signs increasingly pointed to
Mondays deadline passing without a deal and the negotiations
being extended a second time.
In London, Kerry met Wednesday
at his hotel with Foreign Minister
Yusuf bin Alawi of Oman, a key
bridge between Washington and
Tehran, a senior U.S. official said.
Bin Alawi was in Tehran last weekend and met with Kerry on Tuesday.
Their follow-up meeting was unannounced and confirmed only after

REUTERS

Secretary of State John Kerry, left, meets Omans Foreign Minister Yusuf bin
Alawi bin Abdullah at the U.S. Ambassador's official residence in London.
an Associated Press reporter saw
the foreign minister in Kerrys
hotel.
Oman is not party to the negotiations among Iran, the U.S.,
Britain, China, France, Russia, the
European Union and Germany.
But it is unique among the Gulf
Arab states for the close ties it
maintains with Iran, having hosted
high-level nuclear talks earlier this

month and served as the site of


secret U.S.-Iranian gatherings dating back to 2012. Those earlier
discussions laid the groundwork
for an interim nuclear agreement
reached a year ago, which the socalled P5+1 countries now hope to
cement with a comprehensive
accord in Vienna.
Details of Kerrys meetings with
bin Alawi were not immediately

clear and U.S. officials were tightlipped about any role Oman might
play beyond that of an intermediary.
In Washington, President Barack
Obamas nominee to be Kerrys
deputy at the State Department said
he believed it would be difficult to
meet the deadline.
Its not impossible, said Tony
Blinken, currently Obamas deputy
national security adviser. It
depends entirely on whether Iran is
willing to take steps it must take to
convince us, to convince our partners that its program would be for
entirely peaceful purposes. As we
speak, were not there.
Peter Wittig, Germanys ambassador to the U.S., wouldnt rule out
an extension and said a nuclear deal
could lead to better relations
between Iran and world powers on
regional crises in Syria and
Lebanon.
If these negotiations fail, there
wont be any winners, Wittig told
reporters in Washington.
In Paris, Kerry will meet Saudi
Foreign Minister Saud al-Faisal
and French Foreign Minister
Laurent Fabius. Those meetings are
key because French objections last
year delayed the adoption of an
interim agreement by several
weeks, and Saudi Arabia remains
deeply concerned about the potential for its arch-rival Iran to win
concessions from the West.

Aide: Obama open to limits in war authorization


By Bradley Klapper
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON The Obama


administration is open to limits on
the duration of its military efforts
in Iraq and Syria and on the potential use of ground forces in a new
war authorization against the
Islamic State, a top presidential
adviser said Wednesday.
Tony
Blinken,
currently
President Barack Obamas deputy
national security adviser, said discussions would continue with
Congress on updating the legal
basis for the U.S. intervention.

There has been no progress on an


authorization in the two weeks
since Obama vowed to coordinate
with lawmakers on establishing a
stronger legal basis for military
action. That has prompted growing
frustration among Republicans and
Democrats with the White House.
Blinken, nominated by Obama to
be Secretary of State John Kerrys
deputy as the No. 2-ranked U.S.
diplomat,
was
testifying
Wednesday at a confirmation hearing before the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee. He was asked
by the chairman, Democratic Sen.
Bob Menendez of New Jersey, if a

three-year limit on operations and a


prohibition on a large-scale ground
combat mission were reasonable.
Blinken said those conditions
would be appropriate and could
form a good basis for the law.
He then told Sen. Bob Corker, RTenn., the administration sees a
targeted, focused law specifically
designed for fighting the Islamic
State as an important part of building broad support on an issue of
war and peace. Corker will become
the panels chairman when
Republicans take over the Senate
majority in January.
The toughest bout of questioning

came from Sen. John McCain, RAriz., who asked Blinken if he was
wrong two years ago when he said
what is beyond debate ... is that
Iraq today is less violent, more
democratic and more prosperous,
and the United States more deeply
engaged there than at any time in
recent history.
Blinken said he stood behind his
assessment of that time period.
After his partys drubbing in
midterm elections, Obama said hed
work with Congress during the current lame-duck session on a new
authorization for the U.S. intervention in Iraq and Syria.

Killer wedding

Proposition 47 comes with baggage, problems


Other voices

Imperial Valley Press

he voters in California have spoken on Proposition 47, the recently passed referendum on downgrading many non-serious and non-violent
property and drug crimes from felonies to
misdemeanors. Unfortunately, this onesize-ts-all approach is a little too loose
for our comfort.
Despite efforts to reduce Californias
prison and jail populations for the last several years, there are still thousands of men
and women locked up who probably would
be better off doing community service or
checking in with a probation or parole ofcer rather than taking up time and tax dollars in state and local facilities.
However, there are others eligible for
reclassication from felony to misdemeanor who will be released or given a
simple slap on the wrist going forward that
will give us and we imagine many

Californians more than a moments


pause.
The penal system in many ways is a broken one, where occasions of proling,
overzealous police action, careless prosecution and draconian laws swell its capacities to dangerous and counterproductive
populations. We can see how a move to
divert populations such as Proposition 47
and the social aspects of it can benet this
state in a myriad ways.
But we simply are not comfortable with
blanket approaches to social and criminal
problems such as this. And frankly,
Californias proposition system makes it
too easy for decisions like this to be made
law.
Dont get this wrong. Property crimes
especially come with some of the most
medieval sentences in California, especial-

ly these petty offenses where the value of


things taken and crime committed are so
out of balance with the punishment.
And to some extent, the same can be said
in some drug crimes. But that is where we
differ with this proposition vastly. There
are class 1 narcotics that come with dire
consequences, and drugs used to victimize
people that serve little recreational purposes other than to sedate prey, that have no
business, in our opinion, simply being
reduced to misdemeanors and adjudicated
with a ticket.
Yet aside from our specic protestations,
there are just too many graduated steps of
severity, extenuating circumstances and
problems with an across-the-board reclassication for so many varying crimes.
The good likely will outweigh the bad in
this approach, but it is also the hope that
some modication occurs over time, especially if the results of this proposition are
tracked.

Democrats and the GOP

A giant loss

Editor,
Several of your readers have written complaining about the Republican gains during
the last elections and predicting a dire
future for our citizenry and country.
Reading their letters tempts me to petition the pope to grant immediate sainthood
to Mr. Obama and his fellow democrats.
He, unlike Bill Clinton, did not ask his
wife to create and put in place Obamacare.
Instead, he resorted to consultant like
Jonathan Gruber who used deceit and trickery to do his job and earn his fee. After all,
he said that the American public is so
gullible. Grubers comments may delay
Vatican action.
As a longtime Republican and realistic
voter, I do not expect my party to provide
renewed leadership. Both parties will continue their bickering and posturing. But of
course they will also continue enjoying
their many perks, the adulation of their
growing staffs and their specially-created
congressional health care because, you see,
Obamacare is not good enough for them.
I do not see immigration reform happening any time soon. Amnesty may be granted shortly for the second time, probably by
executive order and then again in 10 or 15
years for a third. Only it is very likely the
next time it may be granted by a president
named something like Jos Hernandez. I
can envision that my fellow Republicans
will soon start pandering to Hispanics and
women in an effort to capture the White
House. Unfortunately for us, neither party
has a monopoly on being obstructive,
sometimes childish or revengeful. Tit for
tat is the order of the day. God, I want so
badly for events to prove me wrong.

Editor,
When I heard the news that a charter
school seeks our adult school spot for the
next school year, I was shocked (Charter
seeks adult school spot in the Nov. 11
edition of the Daily Journal).
If d.tech comes to our site, it will have
lots of negative effects on all the students, teachers, our school and our community. First of all, several thousand students in this school, especially daytime
students, like me, will have no classes
and be forced to quit our school because
we have no time in the evening. We will
have no chance to improve our skills and
lose our right to study, and maybe it will
kill our desire of studying and stop our
forward steps. As a result, we perhaps
cant instruct our kids well and might
hold them back permanently.
Another negative result is the end of
teachers dreams. Our teachers have great
passion for teaching us. They are very
kind, knowledgeable and professional. If
d.tech comes to our site, our teachers
might have to quit this school and their
dreams of teaching may not come true for
good.
The third result is a possible forced closure of our school. When d.tech comes,
some classes in the daytime have to be
closed, and eventually that could result in
closing evening classes too. Since our
school has existed more than 30 years,
with an aim to develop adult school
skills, it will be a giant loss for this
society. In sum, taking our site for d.tech
has negative effects in many ways.

The importance
of the adult school
Editor,
Ive been attending the San Mateo Adult
School for half of a year and, after my
first class, I understood that it is a great
place for adult education. As I learned
more, I found out that this school is not
only about the ESL program that is so
important for new immigrants.
The adult school also provides a chance
for adults to fulfill their education, find
better jobs and become role models for
their kids. Im proud to be a part of this
school, but I never thought that one day
this school may be closed. I believe that
if d.tech comes to our site, this really
may happen. If the adult school will not
provide morning and day classes, there
wont be enough room for all classes in
the evening. Some adults just cant attend
evening classes for reasons like night
jobs, kids and their commute. And what
about the teachers who work in the daytime? Where will they go? As I talked to
other students, I realized the adult school
also plays an important role for seniors.
It gives them a lot of community services
and they really need to attend school during the day. If the adult school will be
closed or is shut down even for a year, it
would take many years to bring it back.
Are you ready to destroy such a great program?

edding gift buying is hard


enough when one has a registry.
What do you do when the
betrothed instead has a commissary?
Not that I think Ill make it onto the short
list for the rumored Charles Manson nuptials
in which one of Americans most notorious
inmates now 80 will reportedly tie the
knot with Afton Elaine Burton, a wee lass of
26 years and likely a lot fewer shakes of
common sense.
Dont call this a May-December romance.
This relationship story involves two people
who are on entirely different calendars.
That aside,
the future Mr.
and Mrs.
Manson are
garnering
attention usually reserved for
Kate and
William, Kanye
and Kim and
anybody willing to lay bare
their crazy for a
reality show.
In fact, the
Manson wedding would probably kill it in
the ratings if it were allowed to be lmed and
broadcast. The public has a way of glossing
over those pesky murder convictions, especially among the younger generations who
might just know his name from pop culture
references. Same thing happened with Che
Guevara; isnt he just a guy with a beret on
trendy T-shirt worn by the too-cool kids?
On the other hand, Manson and the missus dont have quite as many wedding planning details to bicker over as most so there
might be less fodder for each episode. No
worries over a religious versus secular venue
Corcoran State Prison it is or even a
honeymoon spot. Spahn Ranch is out of the
question as is just about anyplace anywhere
ever. A Beach Boys song for the rst dance
would be a bit distasteful and besides the
prison has put the kibosh on any physical
contact other than hand holding and sealing
the deal with a kiss. The wedding announcements have pretty much been handled by the
news media. No worries about hiding a le in
the wedding cake. The catering is pure vending machine.
Tux ttings and matching boutonnieres are
off the table. Burton can wear whatever she
wants but lets hope it goes with inmate
chic. Actually, Burton can wear white, ivory
or any color on the spectrum. Its not like
she needs to prove her innocence on the
wedding night. Actually, any night.
Admittedly, many married couples might
eventually get to a point where conjugal visits fall to the wayside but usually thats further into the relationship than the rst day.
None of this pondering, however, answers
the question of an appropriate wedding gift.
Matching shivs? A complete setting of
sporks? New forehead tattoos? Etiquette is so
much easier when ones friends and loved
ones just pick out some Fiesta dinnerware for
their registry or maybe a panini press from
Williams-Sonoma.
In the end, the knot may not even get tied.
Burtons mother has been quoted, in a surprisingly calm way, that shes not too big a
fan of the plan and doesnt plan to attend.
Chances are, though, if Burton is so crazy in
love a little parental disapproval will only
make her man seem more enticing.
Yet while Burton was busy bubbling over
about the engagement and dreaming of Just
Married signs, Manson was saying he wasnt so sure. The couple was just playing the
marriage card for the public, he said in a
magazine interview.
Pshaw! Thats probably just cold feet. How
could anybody imprisoned for life be scared
of a ball and chain?

JetBlue to add bag


fees on cheapest tickets
JetBlue will add bag fees and squeeze seats
a bit closer together as it tries to boost
profit.
The airline said Wednesday that it will create three ticket classes beginning in the
first half of 2015, and only the top two
include at least one free checked bag.
Other big airlines have added fees on
checked bags since 2008, when they needed
money to cover rising fuel costs. In the first
six months of this year, U.S. airlines raised
$1.7 billion from bag fees. JetBlues decision will leave Southwest as the only major
U.S. airline to let all passengers check a
bag free.
The changes seemed to please investors
shares of JetBlue Airways Corp. rose
more than 4 percent. Analysts said they
showed that incoming CEO Robin Hayes
was sharply focused on boosting revenue
and controlling costs.

Chiefs look to avoid letdown vs. winless Raiders


in first when Denver visits Kansas City
next week in a game that could determine
the division champ.
The fact that the Raiders are a division
rival makes the task of focusing on this
weeks game a bit easier for the Chiefs.
When you go to the Black Hole, you better be ready. We know that, coach Andy
Reid said. Thats a given, and this is a great
rivalry thats far exceeded my time as a head
football coach in this league, so we understand that these are two competitive football teams when they play each other. The
records, you just throw the record out.
The Raiders would love to be able to

throw their record out. They have lost 16


straight games dating to last season, going
more than a year without a win.
Oakland is three losses away from tying
the franchise record for longest skid and six
shy of joining the 2008 Detroit Lions as
the only teams to go winless in a 16-game
season.
We have to keep playing, safety
Charles Woodson said. We have another
game on Thursday night against another
tough team and division opponent. We just
have to put it behind us. We have to win.

What a difference a year has made for


Notre Dame Belmont volleyball.
The Tigers (31-5) are headed to the Central
Coast Section Division IV championship
game for the first time since 2010 after
Wednesdays four-set win over 2013
Northern California champion Menlo (2115).
In each of the last two years, Menlo ended
Notre Dames season in CCS play.
This year, however, it is the Tigers who
are shaping up to be a team of destiny. They
certainly looked like it Wednesday behind a
smashing performance by sophomore outside hitter Tammy Byrne, who proved her
surname appropriate by firing a match-high
21 kills to stoke the fiery Tigers to a 25-9,
25-16, 19-25, 25-13 semifinal victory.
Tammy is just that special player that
has a high, high volleyball IQ and shes
quite often overlooked, Notre Dame head
coach Jen Agresti said. Tammy is that
silent phenom. She gets it done, always.
The phenom could not be silenced
Wednesday though. Kill-wise, she has only
turned in more on one occasion with 22
kills in a five-set victory Oct. 9 against St.
Ignatius. Defensively, Byrne set the tone
early against Menlo with two of her matchhigh four blocks in Game 1. She went on to
provide adept back-row defense with 10
match digs. Only junior libero Katarina
Warburton had more on Notre Dames side of
the court with 16.
Notre Dame has been off the map for a
while, and now that were actually starting
to go somewhere and people are knowing

Butler and As finalize $30 million, 3-year deal


By Janie McCauley
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

OAKLAND Billy Butler came so close


to winning it all with Kansas City that it
stings to be leaving his only professional
team after such a special run, and with some
unfinished business.
Then the Oakland Athletics came calling
when his old club did not, and Butler is
someone who prides himself in loyalty
in this case to As general manager Billy
Beanes persistence and interest in striking
a quick deal.
The versatile Butler finalized a $30 million, three-year contract with the As on
Wednesday. He receives a $5 million signing bonus payable by Dec. 31, a $5 million
salary next year and $10 million in each of
the final two seasons.
We gave them a chance, Butler said of
the Royals. It didnt work out. Its unfortunate. I enjoyed every day of the last 10
years, 10 years is a long time, just in life. I
enjoyed every minute of it. It dampens it a
little bit for me that we got to the top of
where were at and now Im gone. Im glad I
got to see it through this year. ... It hurts a
little bit that Im not going to get to see the
rest of that go through. Im on to a different
chapter, thats the way you have to look at
it.
Ive got nothing to be ashamed of. Im
really honored to have been a Royal.
Always looking for a middle-of-the-lineup hitter with pop, Butler provides manager
Bob Melvin another player who can contribute at multiple positions.
We felt there were a number of teams out
there looking for bats that might have had
him somewhere on their depth charts, and
once one or two guys came off the board,
there was going to be more intensity in
terms of the pursuit, Beane said.
Butler helped the Royals reach the World
Series last month after a 29-year playoff
drought. In the postseason opener, they ral-

The Dons scored the last six points of the

and two RBIs in the 12-inning game.
After losing to the San Francisco Giants

declined their $12.5 million option on
Butler for next season. The 2012 All-Star
received a $1 million buyout and became a
free agent for the first time in his eight-year

The Argonauts cut the

Finding right-handed power in the middle of the lineup at this stage is really difficult, Beane said. Its not very often you
get free agents that are in the prime of their
career and still have some upside to them.
A steady and productive hitter for most of
his career, Butler is coming off a down season. He batted .271 with nine home runs

Before that, he played at least 158 games
in each of the five previous years, including
all 162 in 2013.
I take pride in getting back to where I
was. Im 28 years old, Im not on the other
side of my career, he said. Its just a year a
lot of things didnt go right for me mentally or approach-wise.
Butlers best season was 2012, when he
batted .313 with 29 homers and 107 RBIs.
He made the All-Star team that year, when
the game was played in Kansas City.
He dropped off to 15 homers and 82 RBIs
in 2013, then struggled at the plate this
year. As the Royals chased a playoff berth
during the stretch run, he was regularly held
out by manager Ned Yost in late September.
Once the Royals qualified for the playoffs, though, Butler returned to the lineup.
In his first postseason, he hit .262 (11 for
42) with eight RBIs, three doubles and a
stolen base in 13 games as Kansas City won
its first pennant since 1985.
Royals general manager Dayton Moore
said Kansas City is trying to spread its
financial resources to build a team that was
a little better balanced going forward.
Butler said he kept in touch with the Royals
about a strong offer on the table.
Well miss him, no doubt, Moore said.
Beane has often been aggressive in the
trade market in past Decembers but doesnt
consider that a focus this offseason.
Were not going to be so aggressive in
trading some of our younger players, he
said. Now, I think we need to consider
some focus on younger players who are with
us already or consider bringing some in.
Some players were not going to trade
regardless.

that includes an invitation to big league

Pepperdine answered with a 20-3 run,

Rugby punts bounding through college football


By John Marshall
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PHOENIX Hawaii punter Scott Harding


takes the snap, runs toward the sideline and
surveys the oncoming rush before unleashing an end-over-end kick.
Depending on how the defense plays it,
Harding will kick quickly, hold it an extra
beat to give his coverage team more time or,
if the defenders fall back too quickly, he can
run toward the first-down marker.
Harding can kick running in both directions, with either foot. Occasionally, hell
try to hit the defensive players in the back
to create a turnover.
Ive been around a long time and its the
most amazing thing Ive seen, Hawaii
coach Norm Chow said. I wish I could take
credit for it, but this guy is an amazing,
amazing guy.
Harding definitely has a unique skill set,
and the rugby style of punting he uses is
spreading across college football.
The setup is the same as a traditional punt,
with the punter lined up about 14 yards
behind the line of scrimmage.
The rest of it is unorthodox, at least in the
world of American football.
Instead of taking a few calculated steps
and kicking in the same cadence every time,

rugby-stylers run at an angle toward the line


of scrimmage and kick on the move.
The balls flight is more flat and tumbling, not booming and spiraled, making it
tougher to catch.
Traditional punts sometimes bounce forward, sometimes back up like a golf ball
hitting a green. Rugby-style punts, the
landing is almost always forward because of
the topspin, tumbling up to 30 extra yards.
The unpredictable roll much like an
onside kick also makes it more difficult
for returners to handle.
The threat of a fake is always there
because the punter is already on the move
toward the line of scrimmage and often
waits until the last second before kicking.
And because the punter is holding the ball
so long, the coverage team has extra time to
get down the field; unlike the NFL, where
only the outside gunners can release before
the kick, everyone on the punt team in college football can run down the field right
after the snap.
By the time the returner even thinks
about trying to catch it, hes surrounded by
(opposing) players, said Utahs Tom
Hackett, a rugby-style punter who is third
nationally with a 46.8-yard average.
Directionality is part of what makes
rugby-style punting so effective.

The wave of Australian punters who have


hit the U.S. in recent years Harding and
Hackett among the latest batch are particularly good at placing their kicks after
growing up playing rugby or Aussie Rules
football.
Hackett leads the nation in punts inside
the 10-yard line with 18 and Hawaii, thanks
to Hardings pinpoint kicking, is third
nationally in punt coverage, allowing 30
return yards all season.
Even the American punters who arent as
adept at the kick as the Aussies have turned
to rugby style. Their punts usually arent
nearly as majestic, sometimes travelling
just 25to 30 yards in the air, but the extra
roll and the difficulty of returning the kicks
makes up for it.
A lot of the time, teams just let it bounce
around and take it where they can get it,
Chow said.
Harding is the rare punter who uses the
rugby-style punt exclusively; Chow said he
probably wouldnt be able to boom one if he
tried.
Most teams employ both styles of punting, based upon the situation or field position.
Kicking from near midfield, the punter

will likely go with a traditional kick,


booming it high to prevent a return or with
backspin in hopes of getting the ball to
bounce.
If a team wants to get a long kick to get
out of its own end, the punter may go rugby
style and angle away from the returner, hoping for a long rollout. Just keeping it away
from the return may be the sole objective in
some cases, too.
Hackett had to learn the traditional punt
after coming over to the U.S. and said he
probably kicks rugby style about 60 percent of the time.
American punters like Arizonas Drew
Riggleman, whos second in the Pac-12
with an average of 45.7 yards, grew up kicking traditionally and has added the rugby
punt.
Sometimes, its not even field position
as it is our coverage ideas, Arizona coach
Rich Rodriguez said. Do we want to kick it
to the guy? Are we leery of doing that? Most
of the guys, we dont want to kick it to. And
part of it is whats Drew is good at. Hes gotten so good at that with ball placement, that
its become more of a weapon than we even
thought before the season.

Lawyer asks judge to approve NFL concussion deal


By Maryclaire Dale
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PHILADELPHIA The NFL on


Wednesday urged a judge to approve an estimated $1 billion settlement of concussion
lawsuits despite concerns raised by former
players or survivors who feel left out.
The 65-year fund would resolve thousands
of lawsuits that accuse the NFL of long hiding what it knew about concussions and
brain injuries to keep players on the field.
The NFL now expects 6,000 of nearly
20,000 retired players or 28 percent
to suffer from Alzheimers disease or at least
moderate dementia someday. Their average
payout would be about $190, 000. The
awards reach several million dollars for Lou
Gehrigs disease or Parkinsons disease.
The NFL ... should have done the right
thing years ago, and it can do the right
thing now, said Eleanor Perfetto of
Annapolis, Maryland, who objects to the
steep cuts in awards given to men diagnosed
later in life.
Her husband, Ralph Wenzel, had both

Alzheimers disease and chronic traumatic


encephalopathy, or CTE, when he died in
2010. He was 69 and had been ill for more
than a decade.
Some critics feel the fund lets the NFL off
lightly, given its $10 billion in annual revenues. Others complain that there are no
awards for depression, mood swings, dizziness and other problems they link to football concussions.
A chief concern is that the plan leaves out
future payments for CTE, which some call
the signature disease of football. The
estates of players who died and were diagnosed with CTE from 2006 to 2014 can seek
up to $4 million, but future deaths are
excluded to avoid incentivizing suicide.
The brain decay cannot currently be diagnosed in the living.
The research in this area is in its infancy.
(It) would be hotly contested at trial, NFL
lawyer Bruce Birenboin argued. The resolution was that CTE, per se, wasnt covered,
but that significant symptoms were.
Lawyer Thomas Demetrio suggested the
deal is a steal for both the lead players

and the NFL.
The NFL, by this settlement, will never
have to say what they knew, when they
knew it, and CTE Poof! Its gone, said
Demetrio, who represents the family of former Chicago Bears safety Dave Duerson. A
fan favorite, Duersons life was on the
decline before he fatally shot himself in the
chest in 2011. He left behind notes asking
that his brain be tested for CTE. The tests
were positive.
The NFL insisted that it would have strong
legal defenses if the cases proceed to trial.
The leagues lawyers have argued that the
dispute belongs in mediation under the contract, that former players cant prove which
concussion caused which injury and that
many former players filed suit too late.
It would have been an expensive,
scorched-earth litigation (without a settlement). We know that because of other parties that have litigated with the NFL, lead
plaintiffs lawyer Christopher Seeger argued
Wednesday.
On the other hand, the NFL would have to

open its files before trial and potentially


disclose damaging information.
Former Indianapolis Colts tight end Ben
Utecht testified about the five concussions
he suffered during a career that earned him a
2007 Super Bowl ring. He is now married
with three young daughters.
I do have memory issues. Thats why I
walked away, Utecht, 33, said after the
hearing. The thought of (my daughters)
losing their dad, before they actually lose
their dad, is challenging.
Senior U.S. District Judge Anita Brody
granted preliminary approval of the plan in
July after the NFL lifted a proposed $765
million cap. The total includes $75 million
for baseline testing and $10 million for

Brady likely to have increased role against Lions


By Howard Ulman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. Tom Brady didnt have to throw much or especially well
for the New England Patriots to get their
sixth straight win.
He figures to play a bigger role when they
go for their seventh.
One week after they relied on the running
game 37 carries for 201 yards and four
touchdowns by Jonas Gray in a 42-20
win over Indianapolis, the Patriots face the
NFLs top-ranked run defense on Sunday
when they meet the Detroit Lions.
And Brady is determined to play better
than he did in the first half against the Colts
when he threw two interceptions with no
touchdowns and completed just 10 of 19
passes for 84 yards.
When youre there at halftime and I didnt play as well as Im capable, then Ive got
to do a better job, Brady said Wednesday.
It always starts with me, and thats where
my focus is. Hopefully, I put together four
quarters of good stuff this weekend, not just
two.
He rebounded in the second half, leading

in order because I felt bad and I didnt like
that feeling.
I said my apologies to the team. Were just
moving forward. Weve still got six games
left. We still have the team to make it to the
Super Bowl, Brooks said. We dont want to
focus on the distractions. Weve had several
distractions this year. I cant be a distraction,
especially by me being a veteran. I cant
bring that attitude to the team. Im going to
look at myself in the mirror and say, What
can I do to make Ahmad Brooks better?
The 30-year-old Brooks has 20 tackles,
four sacks and a forced fumble. He has started 58 straight games under fourth-year coach

happen again. I dont want to feel like Im

were to happen again, Im just going to keep

as the wins have piled up.


Brady looked to Julian Edelman and Rob
Gronkowski for most of his passes early in
the season. Since then, Brandon LaFell and
Tim Wright have been targeted more often,
and Gronkowskis contribution has grown
after a slow start coming off knee surgery.
The more of those guys that can be
involved, the better were going to be as an
offense, Brady said. Who knows who its
going to be on a particular week? You really
have to see how the game plays out, and if
things are working like they were last weekend, then youve got to stay with it.
On the first possession at Indianapolis,
Gray ran four times for 30 yards and a touchdown. On the second, he ran just once for 20
yards before Brady threw an interception on
the next play.
New England has routed the other three
AFC division leaders, 43-17 over
Cincinnati and 43-21 over Denver before
the 22-point win over Indianapolis.
Next up is the co-leader of the NFC North.
Last week doesnt mean anything, so I
dont really care about that, Belichick said.
That has no impact on the game. What we
have to do is figure out how to play against
Detroit and its hard. Theyre good at everything.
Defensively, at least.
On offense, the Lions are 21st in yards
gained and tied for 30th in rushing. Only
six teams have fewer points.
But the way their defense has dominated,
they dont have to score a lot.
Theyve got a lot of guys up front that
make big plays, Connolly said. Theyre
definitely disruptive.

Lynch fined $50,000 for not speaking to media


By Tim Booth
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

RENTON, Wash. For all the noise he


creates on the field, Marshawn Lynchs
silence with the media has now cost him six
figures in fines.
The NFL fined Seattles star $50,000 on
Wednesday for violations of the leagues
media policy. League spokesman Michael
Signora confirmed the fine.
Along with the $50,000 for violating the
NFL Media Policy this year, the league is collecting the $50,000 fine that was imposed
against Lynch for violations last season. The
fine from 2013 was held in anticipation of
future cooperation from Lynch.
The leagues media policy mandates that
players must be available during the week and
in the locker room following all games.
Lynch has only spoken to reporters postgame
after Seattles Week 9 victory over Oakland
and did not talk the past two weeks after
games against the Giants and Kansas City.
This is Lynchs third fine for violations of
the leagues media policy.
Im aware of it, Seattle coach Pete Carroll
said. Its the rules and all of that.
Lynch spoke at his locker on Wednesday
for nearly 10 minutes, but almost every
question was answered by talking about
music or his shoes.
When asked if he had any input in design-

ing his shoes, Lynch said,


In this league you really
dont have a lot of input in
nothing. Just your play.
Thats about it.
The news of Lynchs fine
came after he helped light
up social media along with
teammate
Ricardo
Lockette. The duo went out
Marshawn
of their way to return a lost
Lynch
wallet on their way back
from an appearance at the site of a recent
school shooting.
Lynch and Lockette appeared at MarysvillePilchuck High on Tuesday along with other
Seahawks players. While stopping at a gas
station on their way back, the pair noticed
that Jason Lynch had dropped his wallet. The
pair found that Jason Lynch lived about 20
minutes away and drove to his neighborhood,
eventually leaving the wallet with a neighbor
because Lynch was not at home.
Jason Lynch later posted about the events
on social media.
It was all (Marshawns) idea pretty much,
though. He was like We should take it back,
Lockette said.
Lynchs reclusiveness with the media
became a major story at this years Super Bowl
media day. Lynch appeared for 6 1/2 minutes,
left the Newark, New Jersey, arena, then
returned to a mixed zone the NFL created for

players not on podiums or in microphoneequipped speaking areas at the Prudential


Center. With the exception of briefly speaking with the NFL Network, to the Seahawks
website, and to Armed Forces Network, he did
not deal with reporters that day.
Players are required to participate and he
participated. We will continue to monitor the
situation, NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said
back in January.
Lynch appeared at league-mandated media
sessions the next two days, again briefly.
The NFL has meted out fines to players
and coaches before for not adhering to
media policies.
Buffalo coach Marv Levy was hit for $5,000
for missing the 91 Super Bowl media day.
Bills running back Thurman Thomas, like
Levy a future Hall of Famer, was docked $5,000
for failing to participate in a mandatory interview session, though not on media day, in 92.
Three players have been fined $20,000 for
missing media availabilities at the Super
Bowl: Giants defensive end Osi Umenyiora in
2012; Patriots left tackle Matt Light and
defensive tackle Vince Wilfork for refusing to
speak to the media following that Super Bowl.
The Oakland Raiders were fined $50,000 as
a team for not making all coaches and players
available for a required media session in 2003.
Two star receivers, Randy Moss and Chad
(Ochocinco) Johnson, also drew league fines
for ignoring media requirements.

by taking its first timeout of the

Maggie McDonald immediately
tabbed a third consecutive block

early.

I think we didnt want our season to end, Merten said. So, just
keeping it going and keep playing
for each other, not necessarily
playing for the future or a title or a
medal. Just playing for each other
really kept us going.
Prior to Game 4 though, Notre
Dame regrouped with a team huddle
on the sideline from which Agresti
kept her distance. Its a coaching
technique she has the luxury of
employing with a pair of team
captains in McDonald and senior
setter Lisa Morabe who know how
to prepare, she said.
I dont even have to pep talk

Notre Dame came out swinging
in Game 4, jumping out to a 5-0
lead and never looking back.
Byrne finished strong with seven
kills and a block in the set. The

three of her 12 match kills.
Morabe finished the match with
50 assists.

Pacquiao back in China against unbeaten Algieri


By Tim Dahlberg
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MACAU Manny Pacquiao didnt need the


huge bouquet of flowers he was holding to feel
welcome in this gambling enclave, where he
will be fighting at an odd hour Sunday against
an opponent who has to already feel as though
he won boxings biggest lottery.
Pacquiao got them anyway Tuesday night at
his official grand entrance in the lobby of the
massive Venetian hotel-casino. He smiled and
posed with them because theres a fight with
Chris Algieri to sell, something Pacquiao
seems to be taking more seriously as his
career begins heading into the later rounds.
There are also new rumblings along the
Floyd Mayweather Jr. front, but more on that
later. For now, Pacquiao seems re-energized as
he plots what he hopes will be a spectacular
performance that might stop talk about his
declining knockout power he hasnt had a
stoppage in five years now and entice
Mayweather to finally enter the ring with him
sometime next year in what would surely be
boxings richest fight ever.
Im not predicting a knockout, but Im
looking for a good fight and looking to prove
I can still fight, Pacquiao said. Im willing
to fight anybody. Im not ducking anyone.
That includes Mayweather, of course, and
promoter Bob Arum said there have been some

Lawyer asks judge to


approve NFL concussion deal
PHILADELPHIA The NFL urged a judge
to approve an estimated $1 billion settlement of concussion claims despite objections raised by former players and relatives.
The 65-year settlement fund would
resolve thousands of lawsuits that accuse
the NFL of hiding what it knew about concussions to keep men on the field.
The NFL now expects 6,000 retired players or 28 percent to suffer from
Alzheimers disease or dementia. Their

preliminary behind-the-scenes talks to make


the long-awaited fight finally happen.
Whether it actually takes place, though,
depends largely on Mayweather, who only
recently has given indications he may be
more agreeable to make the fight than he has
in the past.
Arum said he has had recent discussions
with Leslie Moonves, head of CBS Corp.,
about the fight and is somewhat optimistic
that the parent company of the Showtime network Mayweather is contracted to can help get
it made.
I believe they have talked to Mayweather
and that he is on board, Arum said. Whether
that is true or not, I dont know.
Arum could be using the possibility of a
Mayweather fight to try to spark interest in
Pacquiaos second bout in China, which will
take place about noon Sunday so it can be sold
on pay-per-view in the United States. A
Pacquiao-Mayweather fight has been the talk
of boxing for five years now, and nothing has
come of it, mainly because Mayweather wants
to control his own destiny and wants nothing
to do with Arum, his former promoter.
Pacquiao could certainly use a fight with
Mayweather to revitalize his career and possibly cement his legacy as one of the top poundfor-pound fighters of his time. But if he doesnt take care of business against Algieri in a
fight in which he is heavily favored, boxing

may never get the Pacquiao-Mayweather fight


that is the one fans really want.
Lets finish this fight first, the Filipino
congressman said Tuesday. My job is to
fight. Im not picking opponents. Whoever
wants to fight me, we will fight.
In Algieri, Pacquiao has an opponent who
seems to have everything but a big punch.
Algieri is a promoters dream, a college graduate with a masters in clinical nutrition who
wants to be a doctor. Algieri still lives in his
parents basement on Long Island, but talks
confidently about not only beating Pacquiao
but making himself into a big name.
Algieri got the fight after getting off the
canvas twice in the first round to win a disputed decision over Ruslan Provodnikov for a
piece of the welterweight title in June. They
will fight this bout at a catch weight of 144
pounds.
Arum said he believes Algieris story will
help sell the fight, unlike Pacquiaos first
fight in Macau last November against
Brandon Rios that did well at the box office
but was not a pay-per-view smash.
This time were selling Algieri instead of
trying to sell the fight as being from China,
Arum said. So far it seems to be working.

NEW YORK Jason Collins,


the first openly gay player in one
of the four major North American
professional leagues, announced
his retirement Wednesday after 13
years in the NBA.
Its time and Im very much
looking forward to the next
steps, Collins said during a press
conference Wednesday before the
Brooklyn Nets played the
Milwaukee Bucks.
The 35-year-old Collins disclosed his plans earlier in a firstperson story for Sports Illustrated.
Its the same forum he used in
April, 2013, to publicly reveal his
sexuality. He was signed by the
Nets in February and played 22
games for the team.
Collins said he decided to retire
over the summer and had been trying to determine how to make the
announcement.
He
chose
Wednesday because he was going
to be in New York on business and
attending the game to watch his
former teammate and coach, Jason
Kidd, coach the Bucks.
After last season, especially
over the summer, my body was
talking to me like it does to all
professional athletes after a certain while, Collins said. Its a
young mans game and Father
Time is undefeated. Got another
one.
Collins started his career with
the New Jersey Nets in 2001 and
rejoined the franchise in Brooklyn
last February. He revealed at the
end of the 2013 season that he is
gay, but was a free agent and
remained unsigned until the Nets
needed another big man.
They turned to the 7-foot
Collins, who helped them reach
the NBA Finals in 2002 and 2003.
He signed a 10-day contract, playing his first game as an out gay
man on Feb. 23 on the road
against the Los Angeles Lakers to
a warm ovation. He stayed the rest
of the season.
Nets general manager Billy
King congratulated Collins on a

distinguished NBA career in a


statement.
He was an integral part of the
back-to-back Eastern Conference
Championship teams, King said.
We wish him well as he embarks
on a new chapter in his career.
Collins graduated from Stanford
and was taken in the first round of
the 2001 NBA draft, picked 18th
overall. He also played for
Memphis, Minnesota, Atlanta,
Boston and Washington. He averaged 3.6 points and 3.7 rebounds
in 20.4 minutes during his career.
He thanked Kidd and everyone
who supported him over the last
18 months, saying he didnt know
what to expect when he decided to
come out. Respected for his willingness to do whatever his teams
needed, Collins said he hoped to
remain around the game. His twin
brother, Jarron, is an assistant
coach with the Golden State
Warriors.
Playing 13 years in the league,
people will slap different labels on
you, Collins said. First and foremost, I always want my legacy to
be known as a great teammate,
someone who always sacrificed for
the team.
Collins wore No. 98 in his final
seasons in the league to honor
Matthew Shepard, a gay college
student in Wyoming, who was
killed in 1998.
Collins said his most poignant
moment came during his third
game back last season, when he
met Shepards family in Denver.
Twin is a role model for a lot of
people in this country and
throughout the world, Kidd said.
To have him around last year, as a
person but he knew how to play
basketball. He wasnt one that
could jump and touch the top of the
backboard, but he knew how to be
a true pro.
Following Collins revelation,
Missouri defensive end Michael
Sam came out in February and was
drafted by the NFLs St. Louis
Rams. He was later cut by the
Rams and released from the Dallas
Cowboys practice squad last
month.

For a culinary vegan, consider a box of sprouting seeds, with varieties of lentils, mung beans,

Gifts you can use and use up


By Kim Cook
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The holiday catalogs and gift guides are


starting to pour in, full of wonderful stuff to
wrap for friends and family. But what about
those who dont really want more stuff?
Small space dwellers dont have room for
much. Seniors may not either, or may just not
want the burden of more things at this stage in
life.
Instead, think about giving something
your recipient can use, and use up.
Some consumable-gift options:
Food and drink, of course; unusual kits are
creative options. Overstocks new Farmers
Market department has make-your-own mozzarella, tofu, Bloody Mary, hard cider or butter
kits. For a culinary vegan, consider a box of
sprouting seeds, with varieties of lentils,
mung beans, adzuki and green peas.
(www.overstock.com)
You might make homemade vanilla extract
to give in small, vintage-style bottles. Or
consider giving a week or twos worth of surprise treats: Create a stack of little nesting
boxes filled with favorite sweet and savory
snacks.
Does a friend or family member love a particular shampoo? Put together a gift bag with
a bottle; enhance it, perhaps, with a gift certificate from a blow bar, or a new hairbrush.
Or gather a basketful of seasonally scented
body products like Buche de Noel cleanser and
eggnog-scented soap. (www.lushusa.com)
A photo calendar with pictures of the recipients family, favorite places or other personalized content makes a year-long gift.

wage to women artisans in developing
countries, and when youve burned yours
down you can return it for a free refill.
Fragrances include vanilla bean and peppercorn, amber and orchid, and redwood and
patchouli.
For some, the best presents are experiences, including classes, lessons, gym memberships, vacations, event tickets, massages,
charitable donations and music or magazine
subscriptions.
Humanaut, a branding agency in
Chattanooga, Tennessee, runs a site called
UnstuffGifts.com that lets you find gifts
based on the recipients interests. For example, a hipster might like a distillery tour.
Adventure buffs might enjoy a day of indoor
sky jumping. A hiking enthusiast could
appreciate a state park pass.
The spirit of giving is a wonderful tradition. But the truth is, most of us simply dont
need more stuff, says David Littlejohn,
Humanauts creative director.
We created Unstuff so that people could
give thoughtful gifts with a clear conscience,
knowing their gift will be appreciated, used
and never contribute to the planets growing
amount of trash and waste.
Do you have a skill or talent? Know-how
makes a great gift, says Jeff Milchen, cofounder of the American Independent
Business Alliance.
He suggests giving away your expertise in,
say, web design, pet training, first aid, photography or a craft. Neat freaks might offer
closet organization or cleaning services.
Tech-savvy teens might give several hours
worth of their digital skills to more senior relatives.

Bargain-hunting can
lower renovation costs

Turning off a gardens water fixtures may not be necessary, depending on where you live.

Enjoy water fixtures all year by winterizing


By Dean Fosdick
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

For many people with backyard ponds,


fountains and other water-garden fixtures,
the arrival of cold weather means draining
the pipes and pulling the plug.
But water gardens can be attractive winter
gardens, too, with the right preparation and
landscaping.
Turning off a gardens water fixtures may
not be necessary, depending on where you
live, said Keith Folsom, president of
Springdale Water Gardens in Greenville,
Virginia. Their wintertime effect is always
different and attractive with the use of landscape lighting and the right plants.
We had an extremely cold winter here last
year but it wasnt a problem, he said. Pay
attention and know how much water youre
using below the ice. You have to keep that
flow topped off.
Ensure that water lines and fixtures are
drained if you do decide to turn them off so
they wont expand with freezing and break,
Folsom said. Running water, on the other
hand, prevents icing. Thats one of the reasons I tell people to keep them running.
Landscaping around water fixtures can
mean simply adding a few evergreens for
contrast against snow, or stringing some
lights around the ice.
People who live in the South will most
likely keep their ponds going, and use cold

and frost-tolerant landscaping for visual


interest, said Tavia Tawney, technical services manager for Aquascape Inc. in Chicago.
Tips for preparing your pond for the winter freeze-up:
Remove debris before it can decompose.
That prevents organic rot, loss of oxygen
and an accumulation of toxic gases. But the
bigger problem comes if you stir it up,
Folsom said. That can turn up bacteria that
will be harmful to fish in winter.
Use netting. Cover the water with a
screen, sweep the surface with a long-handled net or install skimmers like those used
to vacuum swimming pools.
Prune. Pinch off aquatic plants as they
die back. Reposition your hardy potted
water lilies into deeper water. Tropical
plants will die after a hard frost and should
be removed then, or you can bring the tropicals inside the house for winter, Tawney
said.
Stop feeding the fish. It is very important to stop feeding the fish once water temperatures reach 50 degrees Fahrenheit, as
they go into a deep slumber and do not
digest the food they may eat, Tawney said.
Use a bubbler or tank heater if you have
fish. We use an aerator bubbler to add oxygen to the pond if the falls are turned off,
Tawney said. Once we are continuously
below 20 degrees Fahrenheit, we use a supplemental heater to help the bubbler keep a
dinner-plate-size hole in the ice.

FORT COLLINS, Colo. Ive never visited the luxurious Four Seasons Hotel in
Denver, but I can pretend.
Thats because I have a stainless steel
soaking tub in my master bathroom thats
made by the same company that built the
custom tub for the Four Seasons spa.
Its not that I have a limitless budget, but
I temper my expensive taste in bathrooms
with discount shopping. A look around my
master bath is a primer on where to find bargains: display models, clearance sales,
Craigslist, eBay and architectural thrift
stores (also known as repurpose or re-use
stores).
For instance, I found my Japanese soaking tub for half price on the manufacturers
website.
It was the luck of the timing, said
Diamond Spas Inc. owner Stephanie
Bennett. The company was selling its display models before moving into a new facility in Frederick, Colorado.
I picked my tub up in person, but many
other buyers only saw photos and then paid
to have their purchase crated and shipped,
Bennett said.
While thats riskier, Ive done it too. After
seeing an ad for the Kohler WaterHaven
shower, I searched online and found one on
Craigslist in Minnesota. With a $6,300
retail price, it features dual telescoping

shower heads, four body-sprays and a hand


shower. I paid $1,000, including delivery,
since the sellers brother was moving to
Colorado.
Research is key to a good deal. Learn if the
item will have a manufacturers warranty
and, especially with plumbing, comes with
all the components, or what their replacements will cost. Inspect items carefully for
dings and defects, and decide if you can live
with them.
Since many contractors including
plumbers, electricians and designers buy
items discounted and then charge customers
full price, know beforehand if the workers
you hire are willing to forgo that markup
and use your products.
Cathy Ratschowsky of Fort Collins
bought granite for her vanity remodel at an
auction. Before that, she priced out remnants and compared bullnosing costs. She
also asked about charges for picking the
piece up from the auction site. That gave her
an idea how much she could spend and still
get a bargain.
I had to be flexible, she said. I couldnt
fall in love with just one piece.
Discount renovation shopping isnt for
everyone. It wont work for those who have
set ideas what they want, or those on a tight
schedule. It takes patience and persistence.
When I was working on the bathroom
remodel, Id stop in to a repurpose store
every few weeks, and check its website and
Twitter feed to monitor new donations.

underground that funnels fresh water from
the Hetch Hetchy Reservoir to local customers, according to the complaint. The
large discharge flowed underground until it
eventually surfaced at the bank of Polhemus
Creek and downstream into San Mateo
Creek, according to the complaint.
Cal Water spokeswoman Shannon Dean
said the company prides itself on being
environmentally conscientious and a core
issue is the amount of failing infrastructure
throughout the state.
We are very committed to protecting the
environment but were also very committed
to providing safe drinking water to our customers. To do that, were required to add
[chemicals] to make it safe and water leaks
are not uncommon, Dean said. Were really very concerned about the impact we had
on the environment and were known for
being good environmental stewards. So
what weve done is taken steps to prevent
that from happening again.

Francisco Utilities Commission water


main, was buried underground, and it was
hard to visually confirm a leak, Dean said.
Another contributing factor in the delay was
SFPUC had been experiencing problems
with algae clogging its meters for several
months, to which Cal Water staff attributed
the irregularity, Dean said.
As soon as the company noticed its error,
it immediately began repairs to the pipe and
has since established new procedures for
responding to leaks, Dean said. The utility
also wants to work with the California
Public Utilities Commission to replace
water mains in environmentally sensitive
areas, particularly in earthquake prone
areas, Dean said.
Initially, Cal Water reported the spill was
less than 50,000 gallons and occurred over
just one day. But after the control board
twice requested further investigation, Cal
Water returned to report more than 8 million
gallons had been spent, according to the
complaint.
Had Cal Water responded quicker, it may
have been able to effectively de-chlorinate
the creek and its likely the number of fish
kills are higher than what was documented,
Tang said.

The water control board will vote in


February on whether to approve the proposed $3 million fine and Cal Water can
respond by requesting a meeting to discuss
the case, show up to the hearing to argue
their point or pay the fine, Tang said.
Cal Waters potential fine is substantially
less than the two highest penalties the local
division of the control board has ever
issued. The city of Pacifica was slapped with
a $1. 6 million fine around 2010 for a
sewage leak and the Sewerage Agency of
Southern Marin settled a $1.6 million fine
in 2009 for sewage overflow, Tang said.
Cal Water serves more than 470,000 customers between Chico to the north and
Palos Verdes in Los Angeles County.
Locally, it provides water to residents in
South San Francisco, San Mateo, Colma,
Atherton, Portola Valley, Woodside and portions of San Carlos, Menlo Park, Daly City
and unincorporated areas of Redwood City
and San Mateo County.
The local community may or may not see
restitutions from the water control boards
fines as the funds could be paid into a
statewide environmental restoration fund.
Legally, under this particular water code
provision, it would go into state cleanup

and abatement fund, Tang said. Theres


also the opportunity for Cal Water to apply
about half of the penalty, money, toward a
local environment supplemental project if
they chose to.
Dean said Cal Water is looking forward to
presenting further evidence to the water
control board and would much rather see
[fines] go to an environmental project.
Weve earned kind of a reputation over the
years of being good environmental stewards. This is certainly a situation we
dont want to see happen again.
The water control board has been lenient
in its calculation of the proposed fine and
its important for providers to recognize
there are ramifications against misconduct,
Tang said.
They couldnt clean it up, which is
another factor of why the penalty was so
high. There was nothing they could do to
improve it or mitigate for it. They did eventually fix the pipe of course, Tang said.
Upstream of the discharge there are still
fish and in these cases a lot of times they
will repopulate the creek. Thats the ideal
way to maintain these resources. Seven million people live in the Bay Area and theres
so few of these good creeks left.

attended, she said.


Before the vote, several members of the
board who wont vote until Thursday also put
the blame on Sacramento.
Regent Bonnie Reiss, a former adviser to
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, noted that the
state has managed to find money for highspeed rail and a multi-million dollar rainy
fund while giving the university short shrift.
What we are saying is the experience of
the last decade is the state is an inherently
unreliable partner in investing in state public higher education, Reiss said.
UC Executive Vice President Nathan
Brostrom, who oversees the systems budget, told the committee that only students
with annual family incomes above $175,000
would pay all of the increases, and more than
half of all UC students would continue paying no tuition thanks to financial aid.

Students from families that earn between


$100,000 and $150,000 a year are likely to
see their tuition costs go down over the next
four years because of a middle-class scholarship program approved by the state,
Brostrom added.
The dissenting votes on Wednesday came
from the governor and Student Regent Sadia
Saifuddin, who urged UC leaders and state
officials to work with students.
Six hundred dollars may not seem like a
lot but that is almost an entire months rent
for some students who are barely making it
by as it is, and I was one of those students,
Saifuddin said.
The committee had to shout their vote over
students who were chanting loudly as they
tried to delay the action.
Before the vote, the governor outlined his
plan to create a task force to look into vari-

ous ways of making the UC budget go further


by educating more students in less time.
The task force could look at transfer and
completion routes for community college
students, a ramp-up in online classes, and
making each campus more distinct in academic specialties, Brown said.
Napolitano said she is open to new ideas
and would like to work with Brown but there
isnt time for a new task force.
We dont have time to wait for another
commission. We can have it and maybe we
will get some really nifty ideas out of it, but
the budget process moves along, she told
the governor.
Assembly speaker Toni Atkins, who serves
as a regent, said she wasnt ready to approve
tuition increases. Instead, she pledged to
come up with an alternative plan during the
next legislative session.

SQUARE
Continued from page 1
project for a number of years and its
exciting to see that coming to
fruition, Banks said. The community is excited to see the vision of the
property coming about and you can
see now the construction activity has
started with the construction of infrastructure and in the near future you can
see the start of construction of those
buildings.
The entire site is slated to host 155
assisted living units, 66 affordable
units, 200 for-sale condominiums, a
community plaza and approximately
35,000 square feet of retail and commercial space. With the site being
made up of differing housing categories, the New Home Company
planned to piecemeal the construction
to developers with varying specialties.
On Monday night, the City Council
approved allowing Lennar Homes of
California to construct the 200 forsale units and for BHVCP Centerstreet
Properties to own and manage the
retail component below the affordable
and assisted living units, according to
city staff reports.
Foster City-based MidPen Housing
was assigned the affordable housing
component, which served as the
linchpin for the entire site since the
citys development agreement required
the low-income units be constructed
first. Atria Senior Living was chosen
earlier in the year to develop the

JURY
Continued from page 1
ing happy family photos of victims
Josefa Osorio Acevedo, 50, and her
sons Amado Osorio Acevedo, 23, and
Josue Osorio, 14.
The family was immediately killed at
the scene. Amado Acevedos girlfriend
Sarah Sangraw survived and awoke after
weeks of unconsciousness but her fractured pelvis and internal organ injuries
left the once-active woman now unable
to run, hike or jump.
Jurors will begin deliberating
Thursday whether Demacedo is guilty
of three counts of murder or gross
vehicular manslaughter along with
several other felonies related to driving
while intoxicated, hit-and-run and filing false information with the
Department of Motor Vehicles to reinstate his license. Demacedo never completed a First Offender Program for a
2011 DUI which would have restored
his license.
From the beginning, Demacedos
defense has maintained that while the
Sunnyvale man is responsible for the
March 9, 2013, crash the circumstances dont rise to the
level of murder. Instead,
attorneys John Elworth and
Geoff Carr said it was a tragic
accident that happened when
the red Toyota Tercel driven
by Amado Acevedo pulled
away from an Eastmoor
Avenue curb to turn around in
the path of Demacedos
BMW.
Demacedo was speeding in
a 25 mph zone west on
Eastmoor Avenue after bumping into a Honda Civic.
Demacedo, on the suspended
license and drinking despite
a probation prohibition, fled
the scene from fear the police
would get involved, Finigan
said.
He allegedly accelerated up
to 67 mph, striking the
Tercel which pushed it about
150 feet and ejected Josefa
Acevedo. A blood draw from
the 8 p.m. crash placed his
blood level at .22 at the time
of the collision by working

assisted living portion of the project.


What Im most pleased with is that
[The New Home Company] has selected three outstanding and, as far as Im
concerned, the best in their field,
Councilman Steve Okamoto said. I
think were in pretty good hands.
The New Home Company originally
planed to construct the for-sale units,
however, it opted to transfer its rights
to Lennar instead. Banks said he
couldnt speak to the rationale behind
the change of plans and The New
Home Company did not return a
request for comment.
Lennars 200 for-sale units will be
made up of two-, three- and four-bedroom units spread between several
buildings. The 60-year-old development company is one of the nations
largest home builders, boasts a market
capitalization of over $8 billion, has
constructed more than 750,000 homes
in the United States and has experience in senior living arrangements,
according to staff reports.
These are all companies that are in
the top in their field and it was
designed this way because it was a better and easier way to finance the
[entire] development, Mayor Charlie
Bronitsky said. Therere several different kinds of care and facility types
and to be able to bring in those with
expertise in that particular kind of
development gives us the best of
both worlds.
Centerstreets retail space will be
mixed-use style with 10,560 square
feet below the 66 affordable housing
units and another 20,400 square feet of
space below the assisted living units,
according
to
staff
reports.

Centerstreet will not be responsible


for constructing the space as its built
within the two housing projects,
Banks said. Instead, Centerstreet will
own and be responsible for managing
the retail space, Banks said.
Although The New Home Company
has decided to siphon off the construction of all of the major buildings to
various developers, Banks said it
would still build infrastructure like
streets, the Town Square and open
space area along Shell Boulevard and
the parking lot, Banks said.
In June, MidPen was awarded nearly
$15.7 million in federal tax credits
and it is obligated to start construction by Dec. 8. Banks said he anticipates it will last about 18 months and
city staff is reviewing building permit
applications for the condominiums.
Once the city sold part of the property formerly known as the 15-acre
site for the construction of the Foster
City Peninsula Jewish Community
Center, the council spent years figuring out what would be worthy of selling off its remaining piece of undeveloped land.
Obviously we do want to allow our
seniors [to] stay and live in place,
Okamoto said. But more importantly,
that particular project, because of
time, care and expense we went
through to find exactly what we wanted, this is going to be our pride and
joy.

backward from the level at the time it


was tested.
Demacedo was uninjured and
remained at the scene where he asked
about the other vehicles occupants
but, according to Finigan, also told
authorities, I know that I am wrong
and Everything was too fast.
Demacedo had spent the afternoon
drinking eight pitchers of beer with
friends at a restaurant prior to the
crash, Finigan contended although
Demacedo claimed to have had only
two Heinekens and his defense team
picked at the evidence of his level of
intoxication. A defense expert testified
the blood should have been refrigerated
but also conceded that might not have
caused an error.
Along with photos of the crumpled
vehicles after the crash, jurors also personally visited the scene and the cars.
The jury also watched black and white
surveillance video footage taken from
across the street that showed the
impact.
Dr. Eric Rossetter, a defense reconstruction expert, told jurors his simulation showed that Demacedo actually
swerved or hit his brakes 1.8 seconds
before impact. A rebuttal prosecution
expert, Craig Fries, called Tuesday

morning disagreed. Fries said the other


mans simulation is wrong because it
didnt account for the distorted way the
surveillance camera captures images in
a non-linear fashion. In fact, Fries
said, the footage cant confirm
Demacedos speed.
Using the video, the car could be
slowing down. It could be going faster.
It could be going any speed, he said.
Under
cross-examination
by
Elworth, Fries said he holds a degree in
psychology and most of his training in
forensic animation came from on-thejob experience.
Finigan used his closing arguments
to bolster what he said was evidence
Demacedo was intoxicated, speeding
and was educated about the dangers of
driving while intoxicated proof of
acting deliberately with a conscious
disregard for life which is the distinction between murder and manslaughter.
At 28, Demacedo was an experienced
driver, not a dumb prom kid who just
got his license, and just that day had
been warned by a female friend not to
drink and drive again, Finigan said.
That conduct, that driving, amounts
to murder, he said.
Demacedo remains in custody without bail.

Jerusalem: Attacks
put holy city on edge
By Josef Federman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

JERUSALEM Streets are subdued, marketplaces are quiet and


people are on edge in Jewish areas
of Jerusalem, where Arabs have
been using meat cleavers, guns,
screwdrivers and even their cars in
deadly, small-scale attacks.
The holy city which Israel
says must forever stay united
has rarely seemed more divided.
In their 47th year of occupation,
Palestinians are seething with
anger over neglect and discrimination, continued Jewish settlement
in their areas, and a belief, despite
official denials, that Israel is
scheming to take over their most
revered site.
This anger, coupled with Jewish
fears of further violence, has left
the citys 800, 000 residents
apprehensive, seemingly united
in the belief that things will get
worse before they get better.
Im really not safe, and before
leaving the house I think twice,
said Sara Levi, a 22-year-old stay
at home mother. We are not calm,
and we hope there is going to be
an end to this, and that it is not
just a beginning.
Levi spoke as she waited at a
stop for Jerusalems light rail
train a frequent target of
Palestinian violence. The trains,

meant to serve as a symbol of a


united city, are frequently pelted
with stones when passing through
Palestinian areas. There have been
two deadly attacks in recent weeks
by ramming cars into crowded stations.
In a separate attack, a
Palestinian gunman on a motorcycle shot and seriously wounded a
prominent Jewish activist who
has pushed for greater Jewish
access to the citys most sensitive
holy site the hilltop compound
known to Jews as the Temple
Mount and to Muslims as the
Noble Sanctuary.
The violence reached a new turning point Tuesday when two
Palestinian attackers burst into a
crowded synagogue during morning prayers, killing four worshippers and a policeman with the
meat cleavers and gunfire. It was
the deadliest attack in the city
since 2008, and gruesome pictures
of blood-covered holy books and
prayer shawls shocked a country
long accustomed to political violence.
Those deaths brought to 11 the
number of people killed by
Palestinian attacks most of
them in Jerusalem but also in
Tel Aviv and the West Bank in
recent weeks. At least five
Palestinians involved in the
attacks were killed.

REUTERS

Masked Palestinians hold axes and a gun as they celebrate with others an attack on a Jerusalem synagogue.
In Jewish parts of Jerusalem,
traffic was lighter than usual
Wednesday. Fewer people were riding the train, and the crowds that
normally pack the citys Mahane
Yehuda open-air marketplace were
thin.
Business is weak today. It was
worse yesterday, vegetable salesman Itzik Shimon said as he stood
at his empty stall. People are
afraid. Can you blame them?
In parliament, a group of mothers implored lawmakers to hire
more security guards for day care

centers. The city says it has


increased protection, but many
kindergartens remain without
guards.
There was a feeling that with
yesterdays attack ... terrorists are
trying to send a message that they
can get anywhere in Jerusalem,
said Dena Scher, a member of the
group. Everyone is concerned.
Scher, a mother of two young
children, said her routine includes
new precautions such as standing away from crowds at bus
stops. Im definitely being wari-

er, looking around more when


dropping off or picking up the
kids, she said.
Identifying the cause of the
unrest is an imprecise science.
Relations with the Palestinians
took a downturn with the collapse
of U.S.-brokered peace talks in
April. Then Palestinian militants
in the West Bank kidnapped and
killed three Israeli teenage boys in
early June. Weeks later, Jewish
extremists kidnapped and killed a
Palestinian teenager in a revenge
attack in Jerusalem.

fighting between Islamic State militants and Kurdish forces.

BAGHDAD Kurdish forces,


backed by U. S. -led airstrikes,
launched a new offensive
Wednesday targeting the Islamic
State group in areas of Iraq that the
extremists had captured this past
summer.
The operation came as Turkish
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan
said details havent been finalized
for a deal that would have his country train rebels to battle IS in

Syria, where the militants also


hold territory
A U.S.-led coalition is targeting
IS from the sky in Iraq and Syria,
supporting Western-backed Syrian
rebels, Kurdish fighters and the
Iraqi military on the ground. The
strikes have helped halt the
extremists move to take the
Syrian city of Kobani near the
Turkish border, and enabled Iraqi
forces to make key advances.
The U.S. Central Command said
that the U.S. and allied nations
have conducted 24 airstrikes
against IS militants in Iraq since
Monday, a majority near the city

of Kirkuk. In Syria this week, the


coalition has carried out six
airstrikes against IS and one
against the so-called Khorasan
group, which Washington says is
a special cell that is plotting
attacks against Western interests.
Most of the strikes targeting IS in
Syria took place in Kobani,
according to the statement.
On Tuesday, the Kurds captured
six IS-controlled buildings in
Kobani and confiscated a large
amount of weapons and ammunition, the Britain-based Syrian
Observatory for Human Rights
said.
