rolling through red lights or stop

Jerry Hill, D-San Mateo, is reviving his efforts to reduce the fines
for drivers who fail to come to a
complete stop while making a
right turn.
Currently, drivers who roll
through a right turn on a red light

as making an unsafe turn that
endangers a pedestrian after coming to a complete stop, according

Stand-up comedy takes stage at Kingfish


Downtown San Mateo restaurant hosts live performances
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

More laugh-out-loud live entertainment is


hitting downtown San Mateo this weekend
as Kingfish Restaurant hosts a crew of
comedians aiming to crack a few funny
bones.
On Saturday evening, Kingfish Comedy
will highlight four Bay Area performers in
the third rendition of a stand-up performance offering a night of good food and good
laughs.
Each month, organizers will bring comedians many whove appeared on David
Letterman, Conan or Comedy Central to
the historic downtown San Mateo venue.
Unfortunately those eager for some
chuckles may have to wait until next
month, as this weekends show has already
sold-out. But producer, organizer and comedian Phil Griffiths encourages people to
stay tuned as he plans on partnering with
restaurant officials to make the live performances a regular occurrence in the cozy
Governors Room on the basement level of
the restaurant.
While downtown San Mateo is known for
its wide selection of restaurants, a few of
which offer live music, and a movie theater,
Griffiths said entertainment options are
somewhat lacking. With an affinity for the
Kingfish Restaurant building its where
the 40-year-old father proposed to his wife
Griffiths said its a perfect venue to highlight Bay Area talent.
I think its a perfect room for comedy.
The holy trinity for comedy is basically a
stage, a light and a sound system; you have
all three but it goes beyond that. The dcor,
the basement room has that speakeasy feel
with low ceilings and dark lights, it just
adds to the comedy, Griffiths said noting
the Cajun-style ambiance. It has that cool
vibe and makes it a fun place to go and hang

Phil Griffiths
out. Then when people are telling jokes, it
just makes it that much better.
Griffiths said he hopes bringing stand-up
comedy to Kingfish will offer visitors a
wider range of options for a Saturday night
out in San Mateo. Instead of venturing to
San Francisco for live entertainment, people can enjoy the swath of dining options in
San Mateo and stick around for a relatable
comedy show.
Originally from the U.K., Griffiths now
resides in Half Moon Bay where he oversees
another stand-up show as well as one in
Redwood City. Having started performing
about three years ago, Griffiths said he likes
to joke about his own experiences and the
relatable day-to-day life of a father and husband.
[Comedy] deals with all different things.
It could be anything from fatherhood to
being single, to race or politics. Whatever
it is, it generally can get covered in a comedy show pretty well, Griffiths said.
This weekend, Kaseem Bentley, recently
named one of the best comedians in the Bay
Area; Iris Benson, who became a comedian
because no other profession would have her
including drug dealing and prostitution;
DNA, a comedian and producer currently

writing a new Web series based in Santa


Cruz; and Griffiths will take to the stage.
The next Feb. 13 show will bring headliner Larry Bubbles Brown, a local comedian
who has appeared on David Letterman; and
the March 12 performance will feature Kabir
Singh, whos been on Comedy Central and
Family Guy, according to Griffiths. Each
show features new four to five new performers and is open to those 18 years and older,
Griffiths said.
Were getting some pretty big name guys
that have TV credits and stuff like that
whether its Conan or Comedy Central to
come out and headline each month,
Griffiths said. Weve sold out all three
shows so far. The room keeps 65 to 70 people and we usually sold out five to six days
before the show, so thats a good sign.
Clearly it seems like they want another
form of entertainment in San Mateo and its
cool that this provides it.
While entertaining crowds and spitting
jokes does provide some comedic relief for
the daytime Web designer, Griffiths said its
also about showcasing a tight-knit community spanning the Bay Area.
Its getting to give them exposure in
other cities, San Mateo, San Francisco,
whatever. It is kind of cool because the way
comedy is, unless youre a big name, a lot of
times people dont seek you out, Griffiths
said. So being able to show people to other
areas is pretty rewarding.

Yosemite: Famed hotel name to


change in trademark dispute
By Scott Smith
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

FRESNO The names of iconic


hotels and other landmarks in the
world-famous Yosemite National Park
will soon change in an ongoing battle
over who owns the intellectual property, park officials said Thursday.
The luxurious Ahwahnee will
become the Majestic Yosemite Hotel,
and Curry Village will become Half
Dome Village, said park spokesman
Scott Gediman.
The move at Yosemite comes in an
ongoing dispute with Delaware North,
the company that recently lost a $2
billion bid the National Park
Services largest single contract to
run Yosemites hotels, restaurants and
outdoor activities.
The park service says it belatedly
learned that Delaware North had
applied for the trademarks for the
names when it prepared to open bids
for the concessionary operation.
Yosemite awarded a 15-year contract to
Aramark last year.
The trademark dispute at Yosemite
and elsewhere feeds into a debate about
the fate of other names synonymous
with national parks and governmentowned entities across the country.
Yosemites issue is similar to disputes at Hot Springs National Park in
Arkansas and the Grand Canyon in

their tickets in the small working class
town of Munford, Tennessee; in the quiet
Los Angeles suburb of Chino Hills; and
at a supermarket in affluent Melbourne

SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO Three San Juan Capistrano

The citys tiered water rate system which charged more

unconstitutional last year amid Californias drought.
The ruling cast into question tiered water rates around the

Delaware North demands to be paid
$51 million for the names and other
intellectual property. The New Yorkbased firm filed a lawsuit last year, saying that when it won the contract in
1993, the park service required the
company to buy the former concessionaires assets.
Park officials are making the name
changes to avoid any disruptions to
visitors with hotel reservations during

estimated $533 million, or take their


third of $983.5 million in cash all at
once.
Getting such a windfall is the start of a
new journey and the winners should be
prepared with lawyers, accountants and
financial planners before they come forward, California Lottery spokesman
Russ Lopez said.
Too many lottery winners unaccustomed to sudden wealth have gone bankrupt, been victimized or experienced
other losses because they were unprepared for an onslaught of unwanted
attention, said Andrew Stoltmann, an
Illinois attorney who has represented
winners. He compared it to throwing
meat into a shark-infested ocean.
But they shouldnt wait too long:
California gives its top winners up to a
year to contact lottery officials before

the money automatically goes to


schools. Winners in Tennessee and
Florida must claim their winnings within 180 days of Wednesday nights drawing.
State and local taxes can eat up nearly
half the winnings for many lottery players around the country, but these three
could be even more lucky if they live in
Florida or Tennessee, which have no
state income tax, or California, which
exempts winnings from lottery tickets
bought in-state. They would still owe
federal taxes, topping out at 39.6 percent.
The huge draw also produced eight $2
million Power Play winners and 73 $1
million winners nationwide who
matched all five white balls but missed
the red Powerball, said Sally Lunsford of
the Kansas Lottery.

from Internal Revenue Service delays in approving nonprofit status for conservative groups seeking the tax-exemption
classification.
The NorCal Tea Party Patriots sued the IRS, along with
workers and officials in Cincinnati and Washington, after it
was revealed in 2013 that the IRS delayed approving conservative groups for the nonprofit status. No criminal
charges were filed after an FBI investigation.
The Cincinnati Enquirer reports a U.S. District Court judge
in Cincinnati granted class-action status Tuesday. That
means other impacted groups across the country can join the
case unless they opt out.

New Mexico is first to

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. New Mexico plans to sue the

The New Mexico Environment Department said it filed a

his own brand of drive and determination, he built a successful international air freight forwarding company and
employed his two sons for many years.
Tom had a deep love for everything Hungarian. He

Driver dies when vehicle goes


through 101 off-ramp guardrail
A person died after driving through
a Highway 101 off-ramp guardrail in
South San Francisco on Wednesday
evening, California Highway Patrol
officials said.
The first report of the crash came in
at 6:28 p.m. on southbound Highway
101 at Oyster Point Boulevard.
The driver failed to make a nearly
90-degree turn on the off-ramp before
going through the guardrail and ending up in a grassy area, CHP Officer
Vu Williams said.
The person was pronounced dead at
the scene at 6:45 p.m., CHP officials
said. The San Mateo County coroners office is not yet releasing the
persons identity.
The driver was not ejected from the
vehicle and may have suffered a medical emergency prior to the crash.
CHP investigators will find out from
the coroner whether a medical condition or the crash was the cause of
death, Williams said.
Witnesses said the driver was driving erratically before the crash.

Trump, Cruz go at each other in GOP debate


By Julie Pace and Bill Barrow
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C.


Republican presidential candidates
Donald Trump and Ted Cruz clashed
Thursday night over the Texas senators eligibility to serve as commander in chief and the businessmans New York values, ending
months of civility between fiery
contenders seeking to tap into
voter anger and frustration.
Two hours of prime-time argument presented voters with a sharp
contrast to the optimistic vision
of America that President Barack
Obama painted in his State of the
Union address earlier this week.
The candidates warned of dire risks
to national security and challenged
claims of recent economic gains
for the middle class.
The heated exchanges between
Trump and Cruz dominated much of
the contest, with the real estate
mogul saying the senator has a
big question mark hanging over
his candidacy given his birth in
Canada to an American mother.
You cant do that to the party,
Trump declared.
Cruz suggested Trump was only
turning on him because hes challenging Trumps lead, particularly
in Iowa, which kicks off voting on
Feb. 1. The senator was also on the
defensive about his failure to disclose on federal election forms
some $1 million in loans from
Wall Street banks during his 2012
Senate campaign, saying it was
little more than a paperwork
error.
Cruz also renewed his criticism
of Trumps New York values, a

candidates debate in North Charleston, S.C.
coded questioning of his rivals
conservatism. But the biting barb
appeared to backfire, eliciting an
unexpectedly emotional response
from Trump about his hometowns
response to the Sept. 11, 2001,
attacks.
No place on Earth could have
handled that more beautifully,
more humanely than New York,
Trump said. That was a very
insulting statement that Ted
made.
At times, the contest between
some of the more mainstream candidates seeking to emerge as an

alternative to Trump and Cruz was


just as fiery, particularly between
Florida Sen. Marco Rubio and New
Jersey Gov. Chris Christie.
Rubio likened Christies policies to President Obamas, particularly on guns, Planned Parenthood
and education reform an attack
Christie declared false. Seeking to
undermine Rubios qualifications
for president, Christie suggested
that senators talk and talk and
talk while governors such as himself are held accountable for
everything you do.
Still, Trump and Cruz dominated

much of the debate, the first of the


new year.
Cruz accused Trump of raising
questions about his citizenship
simply as a response to his
stronger standing in the polls that
Trump still frequently touts in campaign events. The senator was also
on the defensive about his failed
disclosure on federal election
forms of some $1 million in loans
from Wall Street banks during his
2012 Senate campaign, saying it
was little more than a paperwork
error.
Thursday nights debate came at

the end of a week that has highlighted anew the deep rifts in the
Republican Party. South Carolina
Gov. Nikki Haley, a rising GOP
star, was widely praised by many
party leaders for including a veiled
criticism of Trumps angry rhetoric
during her response to Obamas
State of the Union address only
to be chastised by conservative
commentators and others for the
exact same comment.
Trump said he wasnt offended by
Haleys speech and argued his
anger is justified.
Im very angry because our
country is being run horribly, he
said. And I will gladly accept the
mantle of anger.
Trump also stuck with his controversial call for temporarily banning Muslims from the United
States because of fear of terrorism
emanating from abroad. He said he
had no regrets about the proposal
and noted his poll numbers rose
after he announced the plan.
Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush,
who has emerged as a frequent critic of Trump, urged the front-runner
to reconsider the policy.
What kind of signal does that
send to the rest of the world? said
Bush, who has struggled to gain
any momentum in the race and
often appeared overshadowed
Thursday night.
On the economy and national
security, the candidates offered a
sharp contrast to the optimistic
portrait of the nation Obama outlined in his State of the Union
address and warned that sticking
with Democrats in the November
election could have dire consequences.

Man pleads no
contest to pimping
two teens in San Francisco
A San Francisco man pleaded
no contest Wednesday to two
counts of human trafficking for
pimping two teens hed brought
to a South San Francisco motel
from Sacramento in 2013, San
Mateo County prosecutors said.
Sate Stallone Jones, 28,
entered the plea in exchange for a
sentence of no more than 13
years in prison, prosecutors said.
He is scheduled to be sentenced
on Feb. 26.
Jones was arrested on Feb. 16,
2013, after a clerk at the La
Quinta Inn at 20 Airport Blvd.
reported that a suspect had
dropped off two girls there that
day and two others a day prior,
prosecutors said.
Police responded and found two
females there, one 17 years old
and the other 18 years old, and
learned that they were destitute
and had been taken from
Sacramento several days earlier
by Jones and 26-year-old Andrew
Jordan.
They had used them as prostitutes at motels in San Francisco
and South San Francisco for several days while Jones and Jordan
took all their money and gave
them drugs to keep them working
all night long, prosecutors said.
Police had the victims call
Jones, who arrived in his
Mercedes with his girlfriend, 28year-old Maria Jimenez. Both
were arrested. Jordan remained
free for months but was eventually captured. Both he and Jimenez
eventually took plea deals with
prosecutors. Jimenez was sentenced to a year in jail while
Jordan was sentenced to an eight-

Man gets 15 years to


life for beating death
of longtime girlfriend
A Daly City man who pleaded
no contest to second-degree murder for the beating death of his
girlfriend of 30 years in 2014
was sentenced to 15 years to life
in prison Wednesday, San Mateo
County prosecutors said.
Daniel Bryan Thomas, 67,
spoke at Wednesdays sentencing
and apologized to the family and
friends of his common-law wife,
67-year-old Ruby Gim, but said
he did not remember the killing,
District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe
said.
Judge Mark Forcum sentenced
him to 15 years to life in prison
and to pay restitution to the family in an amount yet to be determined, Wagstaffe said.
Thomas had a pending domestic
violence case and a restraining
order against Gim when she was
found dead at the home they had
shared in the 400 block of
Florence Street at 7:40 a.m. on
April 30, 2014.
Thomas was also found there
and arrested for violating the
restraining order and later
charged with murder.
He initially denied killing
Gim, but on the third day of his
jury trial last October he pleaded
no contest to the murder charge.
Gim managed senior programs
at
the
Telegraph
Hill
Neighborhood Center in San
Francisco. Her supporters packed
Thomass court appearances after
her killing with signs calling for
Justice for Ruby Gim.

Revenue needed in Millbrae Specific Plan


By Daniel F. Quigg

he Millbrae BART station is a


natural location for both visitor and local use retail as well
as a hotel. The Millbrae intermodal
station is the hub of transit in the
West Bay, connected to San Francisco
International Airport and located in
the center of the Peninsula between
San Francisco and Silicon Valley.
The BART-approved developer is
proposing a large-scale housing and
ofce development and asking for the
City Council to approve a master plan
for the area that will not produce the
revenue the city needs to maintain our
quality of life.
Over the past several years, some
councilmembers have encouraged the
need for revenue-generating development at the BART Station Area such as
a hotel and retail for our local community and our visitors.
Since 2004, Millbrae residents pay
a local tax to support our re services.
Homeowners pay a yearly tax of $175
to support our re department.
Last summer, the Millbrae City
Council approved a large increase in
annual sewer fees to fund much-needed
major infrastructure. Under that decision, the average residential sewer
charge was increased and it will continue to increase annually until the

charge reaches
$123 per month in
four years.
In November
2011, the City
Council voted to
outsource
Millbraes 63-yearold police force to
the San Mateo
County Sheriffs Ofce as a cost-cutting measure, saving an estimated
$1.1 million a year. While the decision was a difcult one it was necessary as Millbrae continues to struggle
to pay for basic services.
Development in the Millbrae
Station Area must include viable revenue-generating facilities such as a
hotel for visitors as well as retail.
Without these amenities, a development that is focused on ofce and
apartment housing will create a net
negative impact for our community.
Our roads will continue to be damaged, re and police services will be
more impacted. Our local schools will
suffer and our terrible trafc will
increase.
Housing and ofces, over the long
term, offer little in the way of revenue
but will cost the city signicant sums
of money to serve and will add to the
trafc congestion. Schools will be
needed for additional students.
Students coming from this area will
have to deal with heavy trafc on

Millbrae Avenue and El Camino Real.


Millbrae must contribute to our
acute housing needs on the Peninsula
by including some at or around the
Station Area. That is a real obligation. That obligation must also be
balanced against the obligation to
serve existing residents and ensure
the viability of the city of Millbrae
into the future.
I strongly encourage the Millbrae
City Council to step back and review
the needs of our residents today and
what our needs will be in 20 years.
Think about the increase in trafc
from Highway 101 to El Camino Real
and from Interstate 280 to El Camino
Real and how will this impact our
community.
Think about the reduced parking at
the BART station when it is impossible for our residents to park to take
BART to San Francisco.
The council needs to approve the
specic plan that will benet the citizens of Millbrae.
Daniel F. Quigg is the former may or of
Millbrae.

Remembering
Martin Luther King Jr.

Building community?

Editor,
On Monday, Jan. 18, we remember
and honor the life and work of Dr.
Martin Luther King Jr.
But how will he be remembered? To
me, he was the rst in a line of civic
heroes who acted on behalf of an
oppressed minority. The greatest sacrice he made was to give his own life
for the sake of others, so that those
after him could enjoy a life that he
could not. He didnt try to tear things
down, rather he tried to build things
up, and this is the difference between
those who love, and those who hate.
We can all feel angry toward those
who do us wrong, but it will never
solve anything. Only it will leave us
perpetually tearing ourselves apart
inside. We should forgive those who
do evil in the world, as long as we
never forget what they have done. If
we do forget, then no lesson is
learned.

Editor,
The Jan. 6 editorial Building community through eld lights has
raised yet another rationale for
installing eld lights at the San
Mateo Union High School Districts
campuses, namely, that night football builds community amongst the
fans.
The SMUHSD trustees original
rationale for installing the lights was
to promote the academic endeavors of
the student-athletes who would lose
fewer classroom hours for practices
and games. The next rationale was to
provide lighted-elds for non-high
school sports teams. And now its
community building.
Installing the lights at the district
high schools to assist the academics
of student athletes is generally supported by area residents but the use of
lighted elds by non-high school
teams is widely opposed. Although
renting the athletic eld for nighttime sports activity may be limited at
the outset, the neighbors fear that in
time the lights will be on for games
every night of the week. In other
words, the local high school athletic

elds will indeed be converted into a

midst of a residential neighborhood.
The trustees have now promulgated
a third rationale community building through night football games.
This reasoning astonishes the neighboring residents. How in the world
has community building become a
necessary function of the high school
district? Why are the trustees spending many taxpayer millions to support such a nebulous objective? What
has happened to the districts common sense?
The district is commissioned to educate students. The district is not commissioned to engage in business-like
operations nor to build community
in whatever city it may be located.
The district will begin to lose its educational focus if it turns its attention
and resources in other directions.
The districts lights proposal
requires serious revision while being
refocused on student academics and
nothing further. The community taxpayers are due nothing less.

s the nation prepares to remember the Rev. Martin


Luther King Jr. Monday, it is important to recall
the impact of his legacy and its place along the
historical arc of justice and equality in this nation.
There has been some discussion as of late about the
Founding Fathers and other historical leaders regarding their
stance on civil rights, equality and the tenets of our nation.
Considering that many of our Founding Fathers were slave
owners, it can be interpreted as disingenuous for them to
sign a document that begins with the words, We the people, when written within was a stipulation that slaves be
considered three-fths of a person for the determination of
representatives in Congress. In retrospect, it is a severe aw
in what is known as one of the most important documents
of our age.
The United States of America
was born with the cancer of
slavery, common at the time
across the globe, and it took us
until the Emancipation
Proclamation in 1863, in the
midst of a tremendous and
bloody civil war to take the
proper steps for its ofcial end
with the 13th Amendment of
the Constitution in 1865. More
had to be done through the 14th
and 15th amendments and the
Civil Rights Act of 1964,
which outlawed discrimination.
This was a very long road, with
efforts by many. But that road
began even before the Declaration of Independence, the
Articles of Confederation and the Constitution was written.
The abolitionist movement was strong even at the signing
of the Declaration of Independence and the three-fths compromise was needed to ensure there was a strong alliance
with each of the colonies to assure the break from England
would be successful. It bubbled up again just 10 years after
the signing of the Constitution and the abolitionist movement grew stronger through a rising enlightenment up until
the Civil War, which saw hundreds of thousands lose their
lives for this principle.
History shows that the Founding Fathers were not
demigods, nor were they scoundrels. They were simply
statesmen doing what they had to so something completely
new and untried could be launched, and that is the basis for
our current democracy.
But yes, our nation was born with that cancer, and it took
76 years after the ratication of the U.S. Constitution to
eradicate that disease. And yet the illness lingered over the
years, and is still evident today through our strong national
discourse about equality and race. Are we better than we
were? Yes. Have we come a long way? Yes. Is there more to
do? Yes.
We cannot erase our history, nor paint it in a light that is
not true. The Founding Fathers established a great nation
with a new order of freedom and liberty, yet with a tremendous aw. It has taken us years to enact the promise of their
documents, and it was not done as quickly as it should have
been, though we were able to make it through as one nation.
We owe that to our 16th president, Abraham Lincoln, who
knew the steps he took were necessary, but not easy. His
actions were but one step in a long road that led to the Civil
Rights Act.
And that step, and others after, led to the strides taken by
our nation because of the work of Dr. King. And his spirit
will be with us as we take more steps and make more strides.
Today, it might seem shocking that discrimination was
legal a mere half a millennia ago and that there had to be an
established movement to coerce the legal end of such a
heinous way of being. And perhaps the current events of
today will seem shocking in another 50 years.
On Monday we celebrate the work of Dr. King for his leadership in the civil rights movement. It is impossible to
think of the movement without him. His spirit and words
can help carry us forward to this day and into the future. Yet
it is important to note there were many others behind him,
specically in the 1950s and 60s, but also to the beginning of our nation. As great a country as the United States
is, it began with a tremendous illness that took years of
effort, fortitude and enlightenment to shake. Dr. King,
through his power, persuasion, perseverance and passion
created a legacy that guided us through the civil rights
movement and will continue to guide us into the future to the
completion of our founding principles so those rst words
of our Constitution ring true, We the People of the United
States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish
Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the
Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do
ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States
of America.

Energy stocks led a broad rally in


U.S. stocks Thursday, giving the market its biggest gain in over a month.
A recovery in crude oil prices helped
put stocks into rebound mode a day after
the market had its worst drop since
September. Investors also welcomed
some encouraging company earnings.
Chevron and Exxon Mobil each
jumped about 5 percent, by far the
biggest gains in the Dow Jones industrial average. It was a reprieve for the
energy sector, which has been battered
in recent months as crude oil prices
plunged. U.S. crude oil rose 2.4 percent
on Thursday.
That all led to a little bit of confidence in the markets and some buyers
coming in, said Sean Lynch, co-head
of global equity for Wells Fargo
Investment Institute. Its been pretty
ugly so far, year-to-date, and its good
to see the gains, but well see if they
follow through (Friday.)
The Dow rose 227.64 points, or 1.4
percent, to 16,379.05. The average had
risen as much as 330 points earlier. The
Standard & Poors 500 index gained
31.56 points, or 1.7 percent, to
1,921.84. The Nasdaq composite added
88.94 points, or 2 percent, to 4,615.
It was the best gain for each index

since Dec. 4. Even with the big rebound


day the three major U.S. stock indexes
remain down for the year. The Dow and
S&P 500 are both off about 6 percent,
while the Nasdaq is down nearly 8 percent.
Its been a rocky start to the year for
stocks, reflecting investor worries
about the slowdown in China, plunging
oil prices and the implications those
trends may have for U.S. corporations.
The first eight trading days of 2016 represent the worst start to a year in the
history of both the S&P 500 and the
Dow.
That slump worsened on Wednesday,
pushing the S&P 500 index into whats
known as a correction, or a drop of 10
percent or more from a peak.
On Thursday, after wavering in the
first hour of trading, the market shifted
higher and remained on an upward track
the rest of the day.
Investors welcomed a pickup in the

Goldman Sachs to pay about


$5B in mortgage settlement
By Ken Sweet
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK Goldman Sachs said


Thursday it will pay roughly $5 billion to settle federal and state probes
of its role in the sale of shoddy mortgages in the years leading to the housing bubble and subsequent financial
crisis.
Coming nearly eight years after the
crisis, the settlement is by far the
largest the investment bank has
reached related to its role in the meltdown. But the payment is dwarfed by
those made by some of its Wall Street
counterparts.
Goldman will pay $2. 39 billion
in civil monetary penalties, $875
million in cash payments and pro-

vide $1. 8 billion in consumer relief


in the form of mortgage forgiveness and refinancing.
The U.S. Department of Justice, the
attorneys general of Illinois and New
York, and other regulators who are part
of the settlement have not officially
signed off on the deal, which could
take some time.
The government agencies are part of
a joint state-federal task force created
by President Barack Obama after the
2008 financial crisis that has extracted
some of the largest settlements out of
Wall Street.
Goldman, like other Wall Street
banks, has been under investigation
for allegedly misleading investors on
the safety of the securities they created
by bundling and selling mortgages.

Many of those poorly written mortgages went bad, triggering the financial crisis that spawned the Great
Recession and the multi-billion government bailouts that have caused so
much political anger in recent years.
We are pleased to have reached an
agreement in principle to resolve
these matters, Goldman Sachs Group
Inc. Chairman and CEO Lloyd
Blankfein said in a prepared statement.
As a result of the settlement,
Goldman said its fourth quarter earnings will be reduced by $1.5 billion.
The firm earned $1.33 billion in its
third quarter. Goldman is scheduled to
report its results on Jan. 20.
A spokesman from the Department
of Justice declined to comment on
Goldmans announcement.

Study: Lower pay for poor is widening U.S. income gap


By Josh Boak
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON The income gap in


major U.S. cities goes beyond the
trend of rising paychecks for those at
the top: Pay has plummeted for those
at the bottom.
Many of the poorest households
still earn just a fraction of what they
made before the Great Recession began
in late 2007. Even as the recovery
gained momentum in 2014 with otherwise robust job growth, incomes for
the bottom 20 percent slid in New York

City, New Orleans, Cincinnati,


Washington and St. Louis, according
to an analysis of Census data released
Thursday
by
the
Brookings
Institution, a Washington think tank.
Its really about the poor losing
ground rather than these upper-class
households pulling away, said Alan
Berube, a senior fellow at Brookings
and deputy director of its metropolitan
policy program.
Consider Cincinnati, home to such
major companies as Procter & Gamble
and Macys that are associated with
middle class prosperity. Its bottom 20
percent earned just $10,454 in 2014.

After inflation, thats 3 percent less


than what they earned in 2013 and
25 percent below their incomes when
the recession started eight years ago.
Cincinnatis top 5 percent of earners
made at least $164,410 in 2014, a figure that has increased since 2013,
though it remains 7 percent below prerecession levels.
The consequence is a widening
income gap. The top 5 percent earned
15.7 times what the bottom 20 percent
did in Cincinnati. Nationally, this
ratio was 9.3 the same as in 2013.
Before the recession, the ratio was
8.5.

U.S. government developing policies for self-driving cars


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DETROIT The federal government


wants to get autonomous vehicles on
the road more quickly, and says it will
fast-track policies and possibly even
waive regulations to do it.
U.S. Department of Transportation
Secretary Anthony Foxx surrounded
by representatives from General Motors

and Ford as well as Google and Tesla


said Thursday that the National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration
will spend the next six months developing guidance for automakers on whats
expected of self-driving prototype cars
and what sort of tests should be used to
make sure they are safe.
The agency also will develop a model
policy for states to follow if they decide

to allow autonomous cars on public


roads. That policy could eventually lead
to consistent national regulations for
autonomous cars. Right now, individual
states like California, Florida and
Nevada have their own regulations.
Seven states and Washington, D.C.,
allow autonomous vehicle testing on
their roads, according to the National
Conference of State Legislatures.

nies. Exxon Mobil added $3.47, or 4.6


percent, to $79.12, while Chevron rose
$4.14, or 5.1 percent, to $85.47.
The markets in general needed a little dose of confidence and they got it
through a firming of oil prices, Lynch
said.
Energy company Williams Cos.
vaulted 34.4 percent, to lead all the
gainers in the S&P 500. The stock,
which had fallen sharply a day earlier,
rose $4.68 to $18.29. Its still down 29
percent for the year. FreeportMcMoRan also got a boost. The mining company rose 46 cents, or 12.3
percent, to $4.20.
All told, the S&P 500s energy stocks
jumped 4.5 percent. The sector remains
down 6.1 percent for the year.
The start of the latest corporate earnings season also helped lift the market
Thursday.
JPMorgan Chase rose 1.5 percent
after the bank reported earnings that
were better than analysts expected. The
stock added 86 cents to $58.20.
Some companies provided less
encouraging updates.
Best Buy slid 9.7 percent after the
electronics store operator reported a
drop in sales during the holiday season.
The company also said it expects a
wider drop in fourth-quarter revenue,
partly on weak mobile phone and personal device sales.

Business briefs
GoPro stock tumbles after weak camera sales
NEW YORK GoPro had a rough holiday season.
The maker of wearable cameras, used by mountain
climbers, surfers and other extreme sports fans, said late
Wednesday that sales of its devices were weak even as it cut
the price of its latest camera in half. The San Mateo,
California, company also said it will cut about 100 jobs.
Shares of GoPro plummeted Thursday to their lowest
point since it became a public company nearly two years
ago.
GoPro launched the Hero4 Session camera in July at
$400, but eventually slashed the price to $199 by
December. The price cut reduced its fourth-quarter revenue by
$21 million, the company said.
It said revenue during the three months that ended Dec. 31
was about $435 million, far below the $500 million to
$550 million it previously expected. That would mean its
revenue dropped 31 percent from the same period a year
ago, when it posted $633.9 million in revenue.
Wall Street analysts expected the company to report
$521.2 million in revenue during the fourth quarter, according to FactSet.
The San Mateo company said that it will cut about 7 percent of its workforce, or about 100 jobs. The company has
about 1,500 employees. It said paying severance to laidoff workers will cost the company between $5 million and
$10 million during the first quarter of 2016.
Shares of GoPro Inc. fell $2.13, or 14.6 percent, to
$12.48 Thursday. GoPros stock has lost about half of its
value since it made its debut on the stock market in February
2014 at $24 per share.

California fines Uber $7.6


million on rider, driver reports
SAN FRANCISCO California fined Ubers state subsidiary $7.6 million on Thursday for allegedly failing to
provide regulators with enough detailed information on the
ride-hailing companys drivers and riders.
Thursdays decision by the California Public Utilities
Commission upholds a ruling by a state administrative law
judge, and it raises the $7.3 million penalty and fine that
the judge had recommended.
Thursdays order found Rasier-CA, the California branch
of Uber, in contempt for allegedly failing to provide
detailed operational data as soon as the state wanted it. The
order gives the company 30 days to pay or have the state
suspend the companys license to operate in California.
Uber spokeswoman Laura Zapata said the company would
pay the money but would go to the California Court of
Appeals to dispute the amount of the fine.
Founded in 2009, Uber, like similar companies, uses
smart-phone apps to connect drivers with riders. The state
says Uber was too slow to provide requested information on
driver accidents and on how often drivers refused rides or
were unable to accommodate disabled passengers.
Uber said it is now routinely providing all information
requested by the state.

Patriots-Chiefs a showcase for Gronk, Kelce


By Dave Skretta
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

KANSAS CITY, Mo. Travis Kelce has


always been competitive, whether it was on
the playground as a kid, the Cleveland
Heights football field in high school, or
inside Nippert Stadium at the University of
Cincinnati.
It didnt change when he was drafted by the
Kansas City Chiefs, either.
If anything, the tight end became even
more competitive, setting a goal to be the
best player at his position in the NFL.
And on Saturday, hell have his biggest
platform yet to state his case when the
Chiefs visit the New England Patriots in the
divisional round of the playoffs.
On the other sideline? Rob Gronkowski,
considered to be the best tight end in the
game.
I have no control over what that guy
does. He has no control over what I do,
Kelce said.
Robs been an outstanding tight end,
needless to say all the stuff hes been able
to do in the league. But were in a single
elimination game. I have no focus or care for
what that offense does.
Nor does Gronkowski care what the
Kansas City offense does. Both tight ends
are focused on beating the opposing

defense, not beating each


other in catches or yards
or touchdowns.
It sure is an interesting
game within the game,
though.
Gronkowski was the
Patriots leading receiver
with 1,176 yards this
season, while Kelce was
Rob
Gronkowski the Chiefs second-leading receiver with 875.
That put both of them in the top four in the
AFC among tight ends, with Gronkowski at
the peak of the ladder and Kelce just a few
rungs below.
They are also first and fourth, respectively, in yards receiving over the past two
years. But its Kelce who has the most yardsafter-catch among tight ends over that time
with 1,045. Gronkowski is next at 1,022,
another example of just how closely they
mirror each other.
We see a very good tight end in practice
every day, so thats great. Very challenging
for us, Patriots defensive coordinator Matt
Patricia said.
But theres a lot of good tight ends in the
league. (Kelce) is certainly one of the better
ones and one of the guys thats most productive.
His performance in last weekends wild-

card win over Houston


proved it. Kelce had eight
catches for 128 yards, the
third-most productive
performance in a playoff
game in franchise history.
Kelces good. Hes
explosive, Patriots corTravis Kelce nerback Patrick Chung
said. Hes explosive,
good hands, good run-after-the-catch. Thats
key with him. Hes good. He wouldnt be in
the playoffs that team wouldnt be in the
playoffs if he wasnt good.
All of those descriptors of Kelce just as
accurately apply to Gronkowski, and for
good reason: The Patriots tight end has
become the mold for all tight ends that have
followed him.
Hes big and rangy and physical, but he
also has enough speed to stretch defenses.
He is a matchup nightmare for a safety, and
virtually impossible to defend for a cornerback. Yet when asked to put his hand in the
dirt and block in the run game, he is capable
of plowing over a linebacker.
Hes a competitor, Chiefs safety Eric
Berry said. That along with his size and just
his ability as well. But I feel like hes a bigtime competitor. Hes going to compete.
Chiefs offensive coordinator Doug

Pederson was asked to consider the differences between the two tight ends. After a
couple of minutes of rumination, he came
away stumped.
We use Kelce like they use Gronk. Hes a
big factor in the red zone for them,
Pederson said. We try to do the same things
with Kelce. Thinking about both, we move
our guy around, they move their guy around.
Its harder to find the cons than the pros,
because we use our guy like they use theirs.
There are subtle differences. The Chiefs
use Kelce in stack and bunch formations,
splitting him out with wide receivers in an
attempt to disguise his routes.
Gronkowski often lines up all along in the
Patriots scheme, taking advantage of the
physical mismatch he presents in one-onone coverage.
That would be about the only difference,
Pederson said.
Both tight ends figure to factor prominently in their teams game plans Saturday,
and that should give both the perfect opportunity to prove they are the best at their
position.
No tes : WR Jeremy Maclin (sprained
ankle) went through warmups Thursday. So
did LB Justin Houston (hyperextended
knee). C Mitch Morse and RG Laurent
Duvernay-Tardif still have not passed
through the NFLs concussion protocol.

Steelers trio making the grade at Linebacker U


By Will Graves
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PITTSBURGH The comparisons are unavoidable. It


comes with the territory when youre a linebacker and the
Pittsburgh Steelers draft you in the first round.
And as much as Bud Dupree, Ryan Shazier and Jarvis Jones
all taken in the opening round over the last three years, all
tasked with building upon a legacy strewn with Hall-of-Famers
and Pro Bowlers try to downplay the expectations, they
know they cant outrun them.
You feel it, said Dupree, taken with the 22nd overall pick
last spring. But you just try to be patient.
Not always the easiest thing to do, particularly at a place
dubbed Linebacker U by assistant coach Joey Porter, who
knows about serving as the nerve center of Pittsburghs evolving 3-4 defense. If the Steelers were going to create the kind of
chaos theyve lacked in recent years, they needed their young
core to grow up quickly.
The learning curve appears to be leveling off. Shazier,
Dupree and Jones were right in the middle of Pittsburghs frenetic 18-16 win over Cincinnati last Saturday.
Shazier finished with 13 tackles, a pair of forced fumbles
including the strip on Jeremy Hill that gave the Steelers one
last shot and a brutal but apparently not illegal shot on

Bengals running back Gio Bernard that seemed to shift the


games tone from aggressive to even more primal. Jones put
together a strip sack that set up a field goal while Dupree was a
presence in the Cincinnati backfield.
Those guys have played well for us and they need to continue to do that, defensive coordinator Keith Butler said.
Denver and Peyton Manning, drafted while all three linebackers were in elementary school, offer a starkly different
challenge in Sundays divisional round. Make no mistake, the
Broncos watched Shazier and company create their own brand
of youthful havoc.
You watch (Shazier), hes smart, he never quits, Denver
tight end Virgil Green said. Watching that game last week, he
could have easily given up in that 4-minute situation but hes
going for the ball.
Yet for how explosive Shazier and his two good friends
looked in Cincinnati, he understands theyre still learning
consistency. Its the dividing line between good and special.

If you have good games, continue to back it up and make


sure your teammates can depend on you, Shazier said. If you
do something one week, do it the next.
Its a painful lesson both Shazier and Jones have been forced
to learn. Jones missed more than half of 2014 with broken
wrist one endured while sacking Cam Newton while
Shazier has pogoed between the starting lineup and the trainers room for much of his two years in the league. The 15th
overall pick in the 2014 draft was brilliant against San
Francisco in September only to complain of a linebacker
injury late in the game.
Shazier called it no big deal at the time only to have the
stinger in his shoulder force him to sit out a month and fed the
criticism that for all of his remarkable speed, at 6-foot-1 and
220ish pounds Shazier is too small for the rigors of taking on
larger offensive linemen.

Love III, who won the Wyndham Champion
last August at age 51, birdied the last hole
for a 66.
Singh, Funk and Love are sticking around
next week for the Champions Tour season
opener on the Big Island. It will be three
straight weeks in paradise for Love, who
opened his new year on Kapalua in the
Hyundai Tournament of Champions.
Jerry Kelly is nearly in that group at age
49. He shot 65 in the morning and saw Funk
headed to the first tee in the afternoon.
He says, Hey, for the old guys, play
good. I go, What did you shoot? He said 5

(under), Funk said.


Kelly told him that was two shots behind
Singh.
Yeah, the old guys are showing they can
do it, Funk said.
So can the younger set.
Snedeker started his year at Kapalua with a
new golf ball and a new driver, found something in his setup over the weekend and
closed with 65-67 to tie for third. Kisner
played in the final group on Saturday, found
a slight glitch in his swing caused by wind
and figured it out over the last two days.
Kisner won the final PGA Tour event of

breaching rules relating to signing players

The Spanish clubs can still sign players in
the current transfer window but will be banned

Chicago trades first


overall pick to NYCFC
By Anne M. Peterson
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The Chicago Fire selected midfielder Jack Harrison of Wake Forest


with the first overall pick in the
MLS SuperDraft, then traded him to
New York City FC.
Harrison, a former Manchester
United academy player from
England, was the ACC offensive
player of the year last year as a
freshman with the Demon Deacons,
with eight goals and 11 assists. At
19 he was the youngest player in
Thursdays draft.
The Fire traded Harrison to
NYCFC for the fourth pick in the
draft and selected Stanfords
Brandon Vincent, a left back who is
currently in the U.S. national
teams January training camp.
I know it sounds corny, but they
say that America is the land of
opportunity, and for me its been
nothing but that, Harrison said
when he was selected.

Phillys haul
The Colorado Rapids traded the
No. 2 pick to Philadelphia for allocation money, giving the Union the
second, third and sixth picks. The
Union took a pair of Georgetown
defenders, Joshua Yaro and Keegan
Rosenberry. With the sixth pick
(acquired in a December trade with
Houston), Philly took midfielder
Fabian Herbers of Creighton. The
team also got defender Taylor
Washington of George Mason with
the No. 23 pick.

Rounding out the top 5


With the No. 5 pick, Real Salt
Lake got North Carolina midfielder

Omar Holness.

Hello free agency


In addition to the draft process,
this is the first year of free agency
for MLS. Players who were either
out of a contract at the end of the
season or didnt have their option
picked up, and are at least 28 years
old with a minimum of eight years
in the league, were eligible.
In addition to Magee, other free
agents who have signed contracts
this week include midfielder Ned
Grabavoy, picked up by the
Portland Timbers, and Jalil
Anibaba, signed by the Houston
Dynamo. The Galaxy also re-signed
free-agent forward Alan Gordon.

Steal of the draft


The Timbers, the defending MLS
Cup champions, took Syracuse
striker Ben Polk with the 20th overall pick in the draft. Polk has had an
interesting and circuitous path to
MLS: He was born in Arizona but
with a dad in the Air Force he moved
as a child to Saudi Arabia. He later
moved to England with his mother,
but she was unable to properly care
for him and a friends family took
him in.
Taking advantage of a program
for young players in England, he
landed at Genesee Community
College in New York. After a stint at
Herkimer College, he played his
final season at Syracuse. He finished the 2015 season with 12
goals and four assists, and the
Orange advanced to the NCAA
College Cup.
Draft analysts said that not only
is Polk a proven commodity on the
field, his background shows hes
resilient and dedicated.

Japan honors Hank Aaron with Order of the Rising Sun


By Paul Newberry
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ATLANTA Japan honored former home


run king Hank Aaron with one of its highest
awards on Thursday, saying he is a symbol of
its close relationship with the United States
and their shared love of baseball.
The Order of the Rising Sun, Gold Rays
with Rosette was presented during a ceremony and reception at the home of Japans consul general in Atlanta, Takashi Shinozuka.
It is an honor for Japan to have such a
wonderful friend, Shinozuka said.
The 81-year-old Aaron was singled out for

With his 26 years of coaching experience,
Kelly emerged as the favorite among several candidates, including former Raiders,
Broncos and Redskins coach Mike
Shanahan, ex-Giants coach Tom Coughlin
and former Raiders coach Hue Jackson, who
was hired Wednesday to coach the Cleveland
Browns.
The 52-year-old Kelly was fired by
Philadelphia after Week 16 with one game
left in his third season as coach. The former
University of Oregon coach was 6-9 in
2015 following two 10-6 seasons, prompting Eagles CEO Jeffrey Lurie to make a
change.

through
the
World
Children Baseballs Fair,
which recently celebrated
its 25th anniversary.
Oh was unable to travel
to Atlanta, but the 75Hank Aaron year-old sent videotaped
remarks.
Aaron sat through most of the ceremony,
next to his wife, Billye. He now must use a
cane to get around after undergoing hipreplacement surgery.
The communication between the two
countries is great, Aaron said. Baseball has

always played a pivotal role in whatever happens in everyday life.


Aaron first met Oh shortly after breaking
Babe Ruths record for most career homers in
1974. Aaron went on to hit 755 homers in
his career, a major league mark that has since
been eclipsed by Barry Bonds.
Oh, who played his entire career in Japan,
has more homers than any professional player in baseball history, finishing with 868.
Aaron and Oh are co-founders and honorary
directors of the World Childrens Baseball
Fair, a weeklong event held each summer that
brings together children from Japan, the
U.S. and countries around the world for clinics and cultural exchanges.

innovative everywhere he has coached and
has had great success throughout his career.
Chips passion for the game and vision
for the future of this team clearly stood out
to us during the search process. He is an
extremely driven individual that I look forward to working with.
Kelly becomes just the second coach the
franchise has ever hired with previous regular NFL head coaching experience along
with Dennis Erickson ahead of the 2003
season excluding Tomsulas single game
as interim coach to end the 2010 season
after Mike Singletary was fired.
Hiring the offensive-minded Kelly could
give the 49ers a reason to keep quarterback
Colin Kaepernick to work his way back into
the dominant, dynamic quarterback he was a
few years back with his legs and strong arm.
There has been thought that Kaepernick
could be the kind of mobile quarterback
Kelly likes running his fast-paced offense

and a good fit.


Guess I might have to start running right
now to get in shape, wide receiver Torrey
Smith posted on Twitter shortly after the
announcement.
San Francisco has missed the playoffs the
past two seasons, going 8-8 in 2014 in
now-Michigan coach Harbaughs final season before what the team called a mutual
decision to part ways with one year
remaining on his contract.
The 49ers reached three straight NFC
championship games and a Super Bowl
under Harbaugh, losing by three points to
his older brother, John, and the Baltimore
Ravens in the championship after the 2012
season to miss the franchises sixth
Lombardi Trophy.
On Jan. 4, a day after firing Tomsula
shortly after the season-finale overtime win
against St. Louis, York vowed to bring the
49ers back to prominence.
Even looking over the last few seasons,
I think its important to learn and to grow

Butler felt confident enough in Shaziers


development to put him in charge of making all the defensive calls.
The transition hasnt always been easy.
Shazier was slow to relay information during the first meeting with Denver in
December, mistakes the Broncos turned into
touchdowns while racing to a 17-point lead.
I got the calls in a little later and it hurt
us, Shazier said. I put that on me.
When he calmed down, Pittsburghs

defense was remarkably better. So were the


Steelers as they rallied for a 34-27 win.
Another slow start is not recommended on
the road against Manning, even if hes no
longer at the height of his powers.
Shazier is respectful but not fearful. Hes
well aware of what the Pittsburgh defense is
supposed to do this time of year, thanks to
growing up in Ohio the son of a Steelers
fan.
Any type of linebacker, you want to be

Not to make them home run hitters, but just
to make them pen pals. By that, I mean
someone that can write letters and be able to
communicate with each other. The Japanese
people have helped me out quite a bit. I want
to thank them for all they do.
Aarons brother-in-law, U.S. Rep. David
Scott, called the Hall of Famer a Godblessed man and a God-sent man who overcame racial prejudice to break one of the
most hallowed records in sports and helped
bring Atlanta together during the turbulent
civil rights era of the 1960s.
Atlanta would not be Atlanta if not for
Hank Aaron, said Scott, a Georgia
Democrat.

what the fans want, he said.
They want a team that they can be proud
of on Sundays. They want a championship
team. I want that too and Im fighting for
that. You can trust me that we are going to
do everything that we can to get this team
back where it belongs.
Deciding on the quarterback will be a
major decision for Kelly in the coming
months.
Former first-round pick Blaine Gabbert
took over in November for the benched
Kaepernick, who has since undergone
shoulder and thumb surgeries.
Kaepernicks $11.9 million salary for
2016 becomes fully guaranteed for injury
come April 1, and there had been belief the
team might try to trade him or release him.
After Kelly was fired by Philadelphia, former Eagles linebacker Emmanuel Acho
tweeted, Power tends to corrupt, and
absolute power corrupts absolutely.
Baalke interviewed Coughlin on Monday
on the East Coast and Jackson on Sunday in
Cincinnati. Buccaneers offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter also interviewed, last
Thursday in Tampa, Florida.
The coaching staff under Tomsula hadnt
been dismissed, though York said the new
coach would make those decisions upon his
hiring.
good in your craft, youre going to know
about Jack Lambert, Jack Ham and those
guys, Shazier said.
And in case he, Dupree or Jones ever need
a reminder, Porter or James Harrison still
going at 38 are only too happy to provide one.
I feel like all of us is going to be great
and live up to the legacy and switch it up,
Dupree said. Its going to be an exciting

Mammoth bones show early human presence in Arctic


By Malcolm Ritter
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK The remains of a mammoth that was hunted down about 45,000
years ago have revealed the earliest known
evidence of humans in the Arctic.
Marks on the bones, found in far northern Russia, indicate the creature was
stabbed and butchered. The tip of a tusk was
damaged in a way that suggests human
activity, perhaps to make ivory tools.
With a minimal age estimate of 45,000
years, the discovery extends the record of
human presence in the Arctic by at least
about 5,000 years.
The site in Siberia, near the Kara Sea, is
also by far the northernmost sign of human
presence in Eurasia before 40,000 years
ago, Vladimir Pitulko of the Russian
Academy of Science in St. Petersburg and
co-authors reported in a paper released
Thursday by the journal Science.
They also briefly report evidence of
human hunting at about the same time from
a wolf bone found well to the east. That
suggests a widespread occupation,
although the population was probably

CHAVEZ

the interior of the San Mateo facility,
Chavez now occupies the site of the
former Key Market, another familyowned grocery store that was located at
Shoreview for nearly 30 years before
closing last May.
Chavez had its soft opening Jan. 8,
is currently attracting a variety of customers and will host a grand opening
ceremony Jan. 30.
We opened our doors and there must
have been 100 people waiting outside
to check it out. And many headed
straight to the restaurant, Chavez
said.
Irma Solorio, a Shoreview neighborhood resident, said she envisioned
Chavez becoming her new go-to market after her first visit Thursday.
I think its really nice and clean,
neat and well organized, Solorio said
over a plate of carne asada. Its colorful and the [taqueria] food is really
good.
Having shopped at the Redwood

sparse, they said.


Daniel Fisher, a mammoth expert at the
University of Michigan who did not participate in the study, said the markings on the
mammoth bone strongly indicate human
hunting. It makes sense to conclude that
the hunters were from our own species
rather than Neanderthals, John Hoffecker
of the University of Colorado at Boulder
commented in an email.
But Robert Park, an archaeologist at the
University of Waterloo in Canada who has
studied the bones of hunted animals in the
far north, called the evidence for human
hunting pretty marginal. The beast had
been found with remains of its fat hump,
while hunters would be expected to take the
fat for food and fuel, he said. And the skeleton shows far less butchering than one
would expect, he said.
Park emphasized hes not ruling out the
idea that the mammoth was hunted.
If people were living this far north that
long ago, he said, it implies they had not
only the technical abilities to carry out
mammoth hunts, but also a social organization complex enough to share the food
from the relatively rare kills.

City location before, Solorio said she


prefers the fresh bread and pastries at
local Chavez Supermarkets.
Patron Sarah Chavez, a Belmont resident not affiliated with the store, said
she was excited to find a Hispanic market close to her work.
Its convenient, Sarah Chavez
said, noting the market carries hard-tofind Hispanic goods. I always liked
the bread, and the [meat department]
has a good selection.
Touring the range of meat at the fullservice deli, Beto Chavez said each
item is hand-butchered in store a
technique that offers fresher quality
than other stores that freeze the meat
before using machinery to cut it.
While the store does offer everyday
goods and produce, Beto Chavez
acknowledged theyre sought out for
their wide selection of meat, freshly
baked goods and taqueria.
We knew there was a demand for this

Scientists spot brightest
supernova yet, outshines Milky Way
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. Astronomers have discovered the brightest star explosion ever, a super supernova
that easily outshines our entire Milky Way.
An international team revealed the most powerful supernova observed in human history Thursday in the latest
Science journal. The astronomers used a network of telescopes around the world to spot the record-breaking supernova last year.
Super luminous supernovas extra bright stellar explosions are believed to be rare. The newly discovered supernova is especially rare: It is more than twice as luminous as
any supernova observed to date, including the previous
record-holders.
At its peak intensity, it is believed to be 20 times more
luminous than the entire Milky Way. Some estimates put it
at 50 times brighter.
And try this statistic on for size: It is 570 billion times
brighter at its peak than our sun.

BAY
Continued from page 1
tax could help restore nearly 30,000 acres
of wetlands that naturally promote resiliency against sea level rise.
Im optimistic that the Bay Area voters
will approve the parcel tax because theres
no question that voters identify with the
Bay and that its a unique and highly valued
resource, said San Mateo County
Supervisor Dave Pine, who chairs the
restoration authority board. This is really
an unprecedented regional collaboration to
take on a very challenging regional issue,
which is the health of the Bay and providing natural flood protection.
Should two thirds of voters agree, the
funds would be geared toward restoration
projects that reduce pollution, expand
wildlife habitat, enhance trails and recreational opportunities as well as protecting
shoreline communities and billions of
dollars worth of infrastructure from
flooding.
The measure has already received significant and widespread support from dozens of
elected leaders as well as environmental and
business advocacy groups such as Save the
Bay, the Bay Area Council, the Silicon
Valley Leadership Group and Audubon
California.

Whats at risk
Scientists predict the seas will rise 3 feet
by the end of the century which could
affect nearly $60 billion in homes, businesses and infrastructure such as airports,
roads, office buildings, wastewater treatment plants and entire neighborhoods.
Furthermore, a study commissioned by the
Bay Area Council found that an extreme
storm could cost the region more than $10
billion.
As the issue broadly affects people across
the Bay Area, deriving a dedicated funding
source for critical restoration projects has
prompted the business and environmental
communities to join in promoting the proposed tax.
Theres a lot of public infrastructure
thats at risk around the Bay; highways,
railways, electrical facilities, infrastructure,
airports, sea ports, water and wastewater
treatment facilities. Its huge. So the fact is
that we are extremely fortunate that what
was began by the environmental community over a decade ago has convinced the busi-

ness community that there are really broad


benefits to this. Ultimately, this is an environmental effort that happens to have some
important economic benefits as well, said
Adrian Covert, policy director with the Bay
Area Council.
Environmental groups have estimated
that restoring over 30,000 acres of publicly-owned tidal marsh to create at least
100,000 acres of healthy Bay wetlands
could cost about $1.5 billion.
For $1.5 billion, we could go a long way
toward protecting $10 billion. So the math
just works, Covert said.

Righting a wrong
Research shows restoring wetlands and
tidal marshes is an extremely effective and
fairly simple way to not only support
wildlife habitat, but protect against floods,
said David Lewis, executive director of Save
the Bay, a nonprofit credited with helping
create the authority and promote the tax
measure.
Prior to the California Gold Rush that
attracted people to the region, the Bay was a
thriving estuary supporting more than
200,000 acres of tidal marshland. But over
the years, new developments and expanding
population led to widespread infill or blocking off by dikes which has taken a toll.
By the 1960s, nearly 90 percent of the
Bays wetlands were gone and by 1999,
only 40,000 acres remained. Now, scientists agree the Bay needs at least 100,000
acres of tidal marsh to improve its health,
Lewis said.
Over the last few decades, restoration
efforts have managed to support about
45,000 acres of functioning wetlands and
this tax measure would support the revival
of another 30,000 acres, Lewis said.
This is a tiny tax for a huge benefit and
the benefits are something that all of us
share. We all benefit from a healthier Bay
and more resilient communities and economy, Lewis said.
While the process of restoration is simpler than some may think, it can be costly.
Typically, restoring a marshland involves
removing an existing dike or levee then
allowing the natural reintroduction of water
and sediment. But it can involve expensive
prep work such as creating new levees to
protect surrounding developments from the
restored marshlands, Lewis said.
In many cases, subsidence in the land
caused by the former dikes requires new
clean dirt or sediment to be brought in to
raise the elevation back to sea level, Lewis
said.

But the results are worth it and proven.
Referring to the South Bay Salt Pond
Restoration project, Lewis said some have
gone from open water ponds to re-vegetated
thriving tidal marsh in as little as five
years.
The opportunity to do another 30,000
acres of tidal marsh is unmatched on the
West Coast, theres nothing like it.
Theres really no other urban area in the
country that has such a large natural treasure
it its midst as we have with the Bay, Lewis
said.

Who, how and where


Lewis said the vast majority of the currently publicly owned Baylands apt for
restoration is owned by the federal government. The remainder is primarily owned by
the state, special districts, conservation
groups and land trusts.
The authority would serve as a grant distributor and while no specific projects are
earmarked funds, Pine said its intended to be
distributed throughout the region and
referred to a sample project list. In San
Mateo County, examples include shoreline
restoration projects at Coyote Point, Bair
Island, San Francisquito Creek and more.
While the $500 million generated from
the parcel tax is only a third of whats needed to restore the 30,000 acres across the
entire Bay Area, officials note it would go a
long way toward leveraging state and federal dollars.
Theres a discrepancy amongst what the
federal government spends toward preserving the San Francisco Bay which has a
multi-billion economy but receives just $5
million. Other great bodies of water such as
Puget Sound, the Great Lakes and the
Chesapeake Bay receive between five and
60 times more federal support than our local
Bay.
Now, officials are stepping up to ask local
residents to participate in restoring the
Bay, at least in part, to its former glory
days.

Before its too late


One of the reasons this work is urgent is
if we dont begin some of the restoration of
these tidal lands now, they will become
flooded and we wont be able to restore

them. Its not going to happen tomorrow,


but we cant wait around 30 years if we want
to preserve them, Pine said.
Pine, whos been active in sea level rise
preparation, said its not often that government moves to get ahead of a problem and
the missing link in a regional solution has
been a funding source.
We know that sea level rise will have an
enormous impact on the Bay and San Mateo
County in particular. We are taking concrete
action that will help mitigate those risks.
Unfortunately, its too common that the
problems in the future are ignored until they
get much, much worse and when that happens, the cost escalates extraordinarily. So
I believe this restoration work will pay for
itself many times over.
In working to ensure two-thirds of voters
across Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin,
Napa, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Solano,
Sonoma and San Francisco counties support the efforts; the coalition of business
and environmental groups is seeking to
raise $5 million toward its campaign. Thus
far, officials said theyve raised about
$800,000.
All property owners, regardless of their
proximity to the Bay such as those in far
reaching areas like Half Moon Bay,
Livermore, Morgan Hill and Santa Rosa
would be subject to the new tax. But officials promoting the efforts are confident the
measure will earn the needed support.
Covert said the agencies did extensive
research and polling of voters before landing on the $12 parcel tax.
The Bay has transformed remarkably
since the Gold Rush and not always for the
better. This is our opportunity to do something big and to restore the Bay to something closer to its former glory days for our
children, our grandchildren and for fish and
wildlife, Covert said. People have a powerful connection to the San Francisco Bay
and they want to see it healthier and safer
and theyre willing to invest $1 a month to
leave it in a better condition.
Moving forward, Pine and Lewis said they
hope the measure can serve as an example of
how to address other pressing issues that
require a collaborative approach from the
housing crisis to mitigating traffic.
I hope it will also encourage the region
to look at other regional solutions to solving regional problems, Lewis said. One of
the big challenges we have in the Bay Area
is were divided into nine counties and 100
cities and theres so many important
regional challenges that we should be able
to address.

weight Harvey Weinstein wont have a

time since 2008.
In front of and behind the camera, diversity remains a widely acknowledged problem
for the movie industry, and few films starring and directed by minorities were seen as
contenders. But many expected Straight
Outta Compton to be nominated for best
picture, and numerous handicappers had Idris
Elba for Beasts of No Nation and Benicio
Del Toro for Sicario as likely for best supporting actor.
Academy president Cheryl Boone Isaacs,
who had led efforts to diversify the academys memberships, acknowledged she was
disappointed.
What is important is that this entire conversation of diversity is here and that we are
talking about it, said Isaacs. Talking gets
to the doing, and we are going to do.
Ryan Cooglers acclaimed Rocky sequel
Creed, starring Michael B. Jordan, was
also often cited as one of the years best, but
it drew only a nomination for Sylvester
Stallone reprising his role as Rocky Balboa.
I am incredibly humbled by this honor,

Stallone, first nominated for the role in


1977 for Rocky, wrote in an email. I was
not expecting it ... especially at this time in
my life.
Alongside DiCaprio and Damon, the best
actor nominees were: Michael Fassbender
(Steve Jobs), Redmayne (The Danish
Girl) and Bryan Cranston (Trumbo). Two
big names were left out: Johnny Depp for
Black Mass and Will Smith for
Concussion.
The best actress field is led by favorite
Brie Larson for Room, along with
Lawrence, Blanchett (her seventh nod),
Saoirse Ronan (Brooklyn) and Charlotte
Rampling (45 Years).
After seemingly slipping in an unpredictable awards season, Spotlight
rebounded Thursday, landing six nominations including best director for McCarthy,
best screenplay for McCarthy and Josh
Singer, best supporting actress for Rachel
McAdams and best supporting actor for
Mark Ruffalo.
Also nominated for best supporting actor
were Mark Rylance, best known for his
stage work, for Bridge of Spies and

Christian Bale (The Big Short).


Nominees for best director shunned not
just one filmmaking legend in Scott, but
also Spielberg. Instead, Lenny Abrahamson
for Room was the unexpected addition
along with Adam McKay, known best for his
broader Will Ferrell comedies, for The Big
Short.
It was thrilling, said McKay, who made a
pre-dawn party to watch the nominations.
We were screaming like idiots in the pitch
black with the smell of waffles in the room.
Following a record $11 billion year at the
box office, the academy still kept the years
biggest hit J.J. Abrams Star Wars: The
Force Awakens out of the major categories, instead nominating it for five technical awards. Star Wars may have set a
domestic box office record with $822 million and counting, but Room, with a
minuscule $5.2 million to its name, was the
bigger Oscar force.
Twentieth Century Fox (The Revenant,
The Martian) led a strong year for the
major studios, though two indie upstarts
Open Road (Spotlight) and A24 (Room)
notched their first best picture nods.

THE PENINSULA MUSEUM OF ART IN


BURLINGAME HOSTS JAN. 1 7 RECEPTION FOR
ARTISTS SALMA ARASTU AND TIM BERRY. Cultural
commentary in color, words and form characterize the two
new solo exhibitions of Salma Arastu and Tim Berry at the
Peninsula Museum of Art. Arastu grounds her giant canvases
in Arabic calligraphy. Born into the Sindhi, Hindu tradition
in her native India, she later embraced Islam through her marriage. For more than 30 years, Arastu has created images with
continuous, lyrical line and a variety of repurposed materials
in an effort to express joy in the universal spirit that unites
humanity. Berrys work continues his lifelong investigation
of mankinds contentious yet appreciative relationship to
nature. Combining motifs from natural landscapes and its
animal inhabitants with images of mankinds projections
onto these landscapes, he constructs abstracted understandings of how these two often disparate elements can exist in
one place. Berrys Felix Culpa series is both a tribute and a
eulogy to the 10 most endangered animal species on Earth.
The Peninsula Museum of Art, located at 1777 California

SURPRISES
Continued from page 19
films of the year among Academy members
with seven nominations including best picture (third after The Revenant and Mad
Max: Fury Road), 78-year-old Ridley Scott
was not singled out as a directing nominee.
Scott has never won an Oscar, despite being
nominated three times for Thelma &
Louise, Gladiator and Black Hawk
Down. As a producer of The Martian, he
does have a shot at walking away with that
golden statuette if it wins best picture,
though.

A ROOM WITH A GOLDEN VIEW


Room was considered a lock for a best
actress nomination for star Brie Larson,
though it wasnt necessarily seen as a
strong contender in other categories but
it ended up with a best picture and best director nomination for Lenny Abrahamson.
This is the first nomination for
Abrahamson, who beat out directors like
Ridley Scott, Ryan Coogler (Creed),
Quentin Tarantino (The Hateful Eight) and
Todd Haynes (Carol).

A BITTERSWEET
LOVE SONG FOR CAROL
Its hard to look at a film with six major
nominations, including best actress (Cate
Blanchett), best supporting actress

(Rooney Mara), best cinematography (Ed


Lachman) and best adapted screenplay
(Phyllis Nagy), as a failure by any means,
but it should sting that the incredibly wellreceived film did not earn a best picture
nomination or a best director nomination
for Todd Haynes. Worth noting: Academy
members opted for eight best picture nominees and they could have gone for 10.

COMPTONS
TRUNCATED CINDERELLA STORY
Box office and critical favorite Straight
Outta Compton has been the Cinderella
story of awards season, picking up its share
of Guild nominations and critics awards in
recent weeks, including a prestigious
Producers Guild and Screen Actors Guild
ensemble cast nomination, leading some to
hope that the trend might continue to the
Oscars. The film earned a single nomination
for best original screenplay.

NETFLIX SCORES
WITH DOCS, NOT FEATURE
It wasnt a question of whether or not
Beasts of No Nation would be nominated
for an Oscar, it was more like how many
would Netflixs first original feature get.
Netflix had a solid chance of establishing
itself as a major player with its narrative
feature debut Beasts of No Nation, but the
tale of a child soldier in West Africa was
completely shut out of the Oscar noms
especially surprising for director Cary
Fukunaga, and supporting star Idris Elba.

sure thing. The Academy came in with a lastminute save, recognizing both Michael
Fassbender and Kate Winslet for their performances, but conspicuously missing was
screenwriter Aaron Sorkin for his crackling
adaptation of Walter Isaacsons book.
Wordsmith Quentin Tarantino also was left
out from the screenplay category.

STUDIOS LOSE ANIMATION BET


The Academy didnt default to including
every major studios animated release (like
The Peanuts Movie, Minions and The

HILL
Continued from page 1
2010, Hill said he was encouraged to
reintroduce a bill thanks to a local
constituent.
The issue hasnt gone away.
Certainly the complaint from constituents hasnt gone away. And my
frustration that the punishment doesnt fit the crime in this case never
went away. So when a constituent in
San Bruno raised the issue, I said
lets try again, Hill said. I think
the public outcry over red light cameras is growing and I think the governor is becoming more sensitive as he
raised the issue over the large amount
of assessments and add-ons that go
into traffic tickets.
Hills Senate Bill 681 proposes
reducing the current base amount of
the violation to $35 instead of the
current $100, an amount typically
reserved for dangerous maneuvers like
speeding in excess of 25 mph.
Straight through red light and left turn
on red violations would remain subject to the $100 base fine, according
to Hills office.
Hill emphasized hes not advocating that the law shouldnt be
enforced, but that the penalty shouldnt be excessive or overly burdensome particularly as statistics
show few accidents are caused by the
infraction.
The current law is based on 1997
legislation that sought to increase
penalties for running red lights but
inadvertently included right turn violations. Motorists driving at 40 mph
on a straight-through intersection
have a higher likelihood of causing a
serious or fatal crash as compared to
slow-moving vehicles making right
turns; yet the infractions are treated

NURSES
Continued from page 1
About 92 percent of the Sutter nurses voted in favor of the collective bargaining agreement.
We fought tooth and nail to get this
great contract. We were guided from
start to finish by three priorities,
based on the wishes of our fellow
Mills-Peninsula nurses: Improve safe
staffing through nurse retention; fight
for fair health care benefits; and
increase our access to time off for rest
and relaxation. This overwhelming
vote in favor of ratifying the agreement is a validation of our success,
Natalia Kamentseva, a nurse negotiator, wrote in a statement.
Sutter also agreed to end the practice

similarly, according to Hills office.


Of the 6.3 million crashes nationwide in 1998, less than .04 percent
involved a driver making a right turn
on a red light, according to a 2001
National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration study. Yet the majority of red light cameras tickets in
many cities, particularly San Mateo
and Los Angeles, are issued to drivers
making slow-moving right turns,
according to Hill.
San Mateo is in the process of considering its own red light camera system after the Police Department had to
overturn 948 tickets when some of its
equipment wasnt updated to meet new
codes extending yellow light times.
The city has cameras at three intersections and the council is slated to meet
in the coming months to discuss
extending its contract with its camera
contractor.
San Mateo Police Chief Susan
Manheimer and Sgt. Rick Decker said
the goal is for drivers to obey the law,
not to make money, and the citys red
light camera program is not a significant revenue source.
Ultimately, issuing penalties is
important to discourage people from
breaking the law, Decker said.
We would prefer that people would
be deterred from running red lights
because of the danger. But the reality
is that for a lot of people, its the
amount of the fine, Decker said.
Most people tell you they dont
drive drunk because they dont want to
get arrested, not because its unsafe.
The reality is in law enforcement, the
fine is the deterrent. But wed prefer people mind the red light because
of the risk and not necessarily
because of the amount of the fine.
Hill said right on red violations
would remain illegal and count
against a drivers record. Reducing the
cost of the ticket wont encourage

people to break the law, but it will


alleviate an undue burden he argues
isnt fit for the crime.
Im hoping that law enforcement
will not oppose it as they did before.
Im hoping they see that this does not
affect safety. When a person makes a
rolling right, theyre not thinking
oh is this a $500 fine or a $300
fine? Hill said. And I think that law
enforcement realizes theres enough
negativity related to red light cameras
that this could be a positive thing.
San Bruno resident John Dillon
inspired Hill to take up the legislation again as part of his Oughta Be A
Law contest for constituents.
Dillon said he received a ticket for
rolling through a right turn on red in
Millbrae which partners with San
Mateo for enforcement of its red light
camera program.
Dillon said cutting off a pedestrian
in traffic, a very dangerous maneuver,
is typically punished by a $250 ticket yet the right turn on red camera violations are out of proportion.
The fines for those are like double
of other comparable traffic offenses
and the reason is because they have to
send a couple hundred dollars out of
state for maintaining the cameras,
Dillon said, referring to cities contracts with private camera operators.
Its not a safety issue, its a more
onerous ticket.
Dillon said hes on disability and
for others who are on fixed incomes,
these tickets can account for a large
portion of their livelihood.
Hill added accident data in many
cases show intersections arent any
safer than prior to the cameras being
installed.
Im not condoning it, Im not justifying it, its illegal and it shouldnt
be done, Hill said. But it sure made a
lot of money for the cities, and took a
lot of money out of citizens pockets.

of using unpaid interns in training


in which they provide direct patient
care without pay, according to the
CNA.
Wages were not at the center of
negotiations, CNA spokeswoman
Joanne Jung said Wednesday. We
completely objected to the training
programs.
Sutter backed off many of its
demands related to health care, Jung
said.
Last April, the CNA argued that the
nonprofit health care provider was
offering the nurses self-insured Sutter
plans that shifted too much cost onto
the nurses leading up to a one-day
strike.
The CNA argued that the out-ofpocket expenses for some nurses
under a Sutter proposal would climb
from about $85 annually to up to
$5,000.

Mills-Peninsula Health Services is


very pleased that our nurses have
voted to ratify the agreement and we
have a new, four-year contract with the
California Nurses Association. Now
we can focus all our energy on doing
what we do best: Delivering the highest quality health care to our community, Janet Wagner, Mills-Peninsula
Health Services chief executive officer, wrote in an email to the Daily
Journal.
During negotiations, Sutter said
nurses who work full time under a CNA
contract earn about $140,000 a year
with 40 paid days off and generous
health care benefits.
But Jung said most nurses do not
work full time at Sutter or any other
provider.
Its not typical for a nurse to work
full time. Its exhaustive, physical
work, Jung said.

nuMbER: ADJ 10126358 Workers
Compensation Appeals Board Notice to
Defendant; Illegally uninsured employer:
Jose Mejia. You are being sued by Applicant: Dalila Merino. A lawsuit, the Application for Adjudication of Claim, has
been filed with the Workers' Compensation Appeals Board against you as the
named defendant by the above-named
applicant(s). You may seek the advice of
an attorney in any matter connected with
this lawsuit and such attorney should be
consulted promptly so that your response
may be filed and entered in a timely fashion. If you do not know an attorney, you
may call an attorney reference service or
a legal aid office. You may also request
assistance/information from an Information and Assistance Officer of the Division of Workers' compensation. (See telephone directory.) An Answer to the Application must be filed and served within

pursuant to Appeals Board rules; therefore, your written response must be filed
with the Appeals Board promptly; a letter

even absent your appearance, a decision
may be made and an award of compensation benefits may issue against you.
The award could result in the garnishment of your wages; take of your money
or property, or other relief. If the Appeals
Board makes an award against you, your
house or other dwelling or other property
may be taken to satisfy that award in a
non-judicial sale, with no exemptions
from execution. A lien may also be imposed upon your property without further
hearing and before the issuance of an
award. You must notify the Appeals
Board of the proper address for the service of official notices and papers and notify the Appeals Board of any changes in
that address. The address of the court is:
Workers Compensation Appears Board

PM: Turkish artillery hit


IS positions in Iraq, Syria
By Suzan Fraser
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ANKARA, Turkey Turkish tanks


and artillery attacked the Islamic State
group in Iraq and Syria in retaliation
for the suicide bombing in Istanbul
that killed 10 tourists, Turkeys prime
minister said Thursday the countrys
first significant strike against the
Islamic extremists in months.
Turkey agreed last year to take on a
larger role in the fight against IS amid
two major attacks that left 135 people
dead. But critics contend the country
has shown only limited engagement,
striking only when attacked and focusing instead on quelling Kurdish rebels.
Turkey rejects the accusations,
pointing out that it has opened its
bases to the U.S.-led air campaign
against IS , boosted security along its
900-kilometer (550-mile) border with
Syria to try to prevent IS fighters from
crossing it and cracked down on suspected terror cells in Turkey, detaining
or deporting thousands of militants.
Turkish forces are also training Iraqi
Kurdish forces fighting the militants.
Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu
said some 200 extremists had been
killed over the past 48 hours in
Turkeys offensive against IS along
the Syria-Turkish border and near a
Turkish camp in northern Iraq. He did
not rule out possible airstrikes against
the group, although a day earlier he
said Russia was obstructing Turkeys
ability to conduct airstrikes against IS
in Syria.
The Turkish leader said Ankara acted
after determining that IS was responsible for the heinous suicide bombing
Tuesday in Istanbuls main tourist district, just steps away from the landmark Blue Mosque. All of the dead were
German tourists.
Turkish officials say the bomber, a
Syrian born in 1988, was affiliated
with the Islamic State group and
entered Turkey by posing as a refugee.
Interior Minister Efkan Ala said seven

Harry Potter films among many others, has died aged 69.

people had been detained in connection with the bombing.
Turkey will continue to punish with
even greater force any threat that is
directed against Turkey or its guests,
Davutoglu said. We will press ahead
with our determined struggle until the
Daesh terrorist organization leaves
Turkeys borders ... and until it loses
its ability to continue with its acts that
soil our sacred religion, Islam.
Davutoglu was speaking in Ankara
hours after Kurdish rebels detonated a
car bomb at a police station in southeastern Turkey, then attacked it with
rocket launchers and firearms. Six people were killed, including three children, authorities said.
Clashes between Turkeys security
forces and the rebels of the Kurdistan
Workers Party, or PKK, reignited in
July, shattering a fragile peace
process.
Turkey has carried out numerous
airstrikes against PKK positions in
northern Iraq and imposed extended
curfews in flashpoint neighborhoods
and towns in its mainly Kurdish southeast as security forces battle Kurdish

militants linked to the PKK.


The conflict between government
forces and the PKK, considered a terrorist organization by Turkey and its
Western allies, has killed tens of thousands of people since 1984.
As a result, Turkey continues to
identify the main problem as the PKK
and (Syrian President Bashar) Assad,
said Svante Cornell, director of the
Central Asia-Caucasus Institute.
Turkey continues to view (IS) as a
lesser evil.
Sinan Ulgen, a visiting scholar at
Brussels-based Carnegie Europe,
agreed Turkey was slow to react to the
threat posed by IS, showing to much
leniency toward the jihadist recruits
who used its territory to enter Syria, in
the hope that they would help bring
Assad down.
However, its not the same battle,
the strategies are different, Ulgen
said. Whats going on in the southeast against the PKK is a low-intensity
conflict which is highly visible.
Turkeys battle against the Islamic
State is less visible and is going on
behind the scenes.

LONDON British actor Alan Rickman, a classically


trained stage star and sensual screen villain in the Harry
Potter saga and other films, has died. He was 69.
Rickmans family said that the actor died early Thursday in
London after a battle with cancer.
Daniel Radcliffe, who played opposite Rickman in eight
Harry Potter films, said Rickman was undoubtedly one of
the greatest actors I will ever work with.
Born to a working-class London family in 1946 and
trained at the prestigious Royal Academy of Dramatic Art,
Rickman was often cast as the bad guy; with his rich, languid
voice he could invest evil with wicked, irresistible relish.
His breakout role was as scheming French aristocrat the
Vicomte de Valmont in an acclaimed 1985 Royal Shakespeare
Company production of Christopher Hamptons Les
Liaisons Dangereuses.
Film roles included the psychopathic villain Hans Gruber
who tormented Bruce Willis in Die Hard in 1988; a deceased
lover who consoles his bereaved partner in 1990s Truly
Madly Deeply; the wicked Sheriff of Nottingham in Robin
Hood: Prince of Thieves in 1991; and a wayward husband in
2003 romantic comedy Love Actually. Millions know him
from the Potter films, in which he played Hogwarts teacher
Severus Snape, who was either a nemesis or an ally possibly both to the titular teenage wizard.
