THE GRINDING ALONG ISSUE

Sports bar forced to scale back

COMMUNITYPROFILES

JANA STRAIN

BY KRISTIN PAZULSKI Special to the Daily Press

CITY HALL A popular sports bar on Wilshire Boulevard will be cutting back its hours and could have to turn people away even though there may be empty seats after neighbors expressed frustrations with the behavior of patrons and the noise the establishment creates.

The Planning Commission last week ordered owners of The Parlor, located at 1519 Wilshire Blvd., to decrease the hours

of operation, bringing the 2 a.m. weekend closing to midnight and weekday closing to 11 p.m. The commissioners are also requiring the current valet cost — $5.50 a car, according to co-owner Ike Pyun — to $2 or less, to compete with the cheaper cityowned parking lot in the rear of the building.

The decision came as the commission considered allowing the restaurant to remain in operation despite not having the proper number of on-site parking spaces for a restaurant.

Currently, The Parlor operates as a sports bar and restaurant with seating for 255, and requires 48 on-site parking spaces.

When Pyun and his co-owner Silas Gaither went to City Hall to obtain the right to use the second floor of the bar, which was already in use, they were told they needed 48 on-site spaces to allow the two floors to operate — the off-site parking approval given to the property in 1980 had expired over 20 years ago.

Strain takes the plunge

BY KEVIN HERRERA Editor in Chief

DOWNTOWN Jana Strain can thank Shamu for helping her become one of the rising stars in the extreme sport of freediving.

It was during a visit to the animal park Sea World over a year ago that Strain, 27, was inspired to become a dolphin trainer.

Already a scuba diving instructor who traveled across the globe, Strain, who moved to Los Angeles from Canada at the age of 19 to pursue an acting and modeling career after years of dancing professionally, wanted to take her love of the water one step further.

Little did she know she would excel in freediving, being named the sport’s best new freediver of 2008.

“I was very moved,” Strain, who lives on Stanford Street, said of the Shamu show.

Fire funds pulled

Panel backs major tax overhaul JUDY LIN Associated Press Writer

SACRAMENTO A special commission this week is scheduled to recommend a sweeping overhaul of California’s antiquated tax system, a move designed to bring fiscal sanity to a budgeting process plagued by wide revenue swings and perpetual deficits.

State fiscal experts agree generally that California’s revenue structure relies too heavily on the wealthy and the whims of the stock market while failing to capture taxes from the now-dominant service sector. The commission, established by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and the Legislature’s Democratic leaders, was charged with finding ways to end years of topsy-turvy budgeting that have left the state a financial wreck.

Over the past two years, the state has been forced to make deep cuts in education, health care, parks and other core services while furloughing state employees.

The proposal, laid out by the panel in a series of public meetings, would change dramatically how California’s government raises money. The primary changes would reduce taxes on the wealthy and broaden the business tax to capture growing sectors of the economy.

Despite high expectations, the proposal by the Commission on the 21st Century Economy already is being met with skepticism before it has even been delivered to Schwarzenegger’s office. The hand-off was expected Sunday but the panel, which has been meeting since January, said it would not turn in its report until later in the week.

Union leaders worry the policies might drive down wages, while businesses fear being saddled with larger tax burdens.

Economists say more study is needed to determine what effect the overhaul will have on the world’s eighth-largest economy.

“It’s a phenomenally brief period of incubation for something as significant as what they’re suggesting,” said Kirk Stark, a law professor at the University of California, Los Angeles who is not on the commission. He noted the problem has been studied for decades.

Even some members of the 14-member panel have expressed unease with the latest version of the proposal.

burned 280 square miles at the edge of Los Angeles, a little-known group was awarded a $178,000 grant to clear flammable brush and tree limbs to protect a mountain neighborhood in the Angeles National Forest.

The work proposed for 90 acres in Big Tujunga Canyon was never done, and the grant was rescinded two days before the massive blaze ignited Aug. 26. Sixty homes were burned in the rugged canyon, by far the greatest concentration of property damage in the huge wildfire.

The ferocity of the fire makes it difficult to say how many homes, if any, might have been spared if the work had been completed.

But failure to do the job offers a glimpse into a quasi-public system that provides little transparency while distributing millions of taxpayer dollars for fire protection on private property.

The grant came through the California Fire Safe Council Inc., a nonprofit organization that funneled $13.5 million in 2009 to groups and municipalities for fire prevention and safety projects. Most of the money comes from the U.S. Forest Service, the Bureau of Land Management and other federal agencies.

It’s not clear when the council recognized a problem with the Big Tujunga project, but the grant languished for months. No money ever changed hands before it was pulled back.

“The very best use of fire protection money would have been to clear brush in Big Tujunga Canyon — that’s where we lost the homes,” said U.S. Rep. Brad Sherman, DCalif., who questioned why a nonprofit group was needed to steer taxpayer dollars SEE FIRE PAGE 12

Get it straight on death panels Editor:

I regret that your contributors are incorrectly informed as to there being death panels within the National Health Service of Great Britain. This is a lie and a smear to a useful and much loved institution.

This lie has been falsely created by right wing elements of the U.S. media industry.

There are no death panels in the National Health Service. The NHS endevours to provide health care to all comers (including visitors from the U.S.) free of charge at the point of delivery. Private insurance is also available and can work hand in hand with the NHS to provide additional comfort to more wealthy citizens.

Free at the point of delivery means that diagnoses of sickness is often made much earlier and earlier treatments can often be less expensive.

I think that you will find death panels closer to home, in the offices of the U.S. Healthcare Insurance companies, who cut off treatment arbitrarily when the subscriber is unable to pay, perhaps due to sickness, injury or recent unemployment. In fact there are over 43 million U.S. citizens who have been pre-processed by the U.S. death panel system as they have no cover at all.

The health care issue alone makes the “American Dream” look a bit frayed at the edges in the 21st century.

Cinema plan a bad script

THERE’S SOMETHING STRANGE GOING

on in Downtown Santa Monica.

City Hall is eager to push full speed ahead on a new movie complex to replace an aging, 339-space parking structure at 1320 Fourth St. because they think that state-of-the-art cinemas will entice movie-goers back to Downtown.

Two partnerships are bidding on the project: Metropolitan Pacific (whose point man is John Warfel, former Bayside District Corporation Board Chair and Downtown insider) in partnership with AMC Theaters and Robertson Properties in partnership with ArcLight Cinemas, a sister company of Pacific Theaters. The bidders propose 12 screens with 2,167 seats and 13 screens with 2,000 seats, respectively.

City Council requested the project not add large numbers of additional theater seats to the current 5,500-plus seats in the Bayside area as to not overtax current traffic and parking facilities. This can only be accomplished by shuttering existing auditoriums and/or reducing their number of seats.

At the Sept. 8 council meeting, Housing and Economic Development staff asked council’s permission to engage in exclusive negotiations with AMC because, as their staff report noted, ”… AMC currently operates two other cinema sites in the district and they propose to close the Loews/AMC Broadway fourplex and remodel its AMC 7plex with reduced seating capacity. With the loss of 1,049 seats from the closure of the Loews/AMC Broadway and the reduction in seats (548) from remodeling the AMC 7, the net gain in seats is projected to be 570, an increase of approximately 10 percent over the total number of existing seats in the district.”

However, AMC doesn’t own the Loews/AMC Broadway fourplex and recently signed a five-year lease plus three, fiveyear renewal options with its landlord Promenade Gateway, LP based in Beverly Hills. Christina Sternberg, AMC Sr. vice president, Domestic Development admitted to council that if AMC walks in 2014, the landlord could lease to another chain and the fourplex could stay open.

AMC hasn’t promised or is it likely they will (or are even allowed to) close the fourplex and continue to pay rent on a shuttered theater — in the heart of Bayside. It appears unqualified claims of the loss of 1,049 seats are false.

The landlord will probably find another operator if AMC doesn’t renew its lease in 2014 as opposed to changing uses — especially after newly reopened Santa Monica Place starts generating lots more foot traffic at the Broadway end of Third Street next year.

Last week, I called Erika Cavicante, senior development analyst for HED (who authored the staff report) and asked numerous times where information about AMC proposing to close the fourplex came from.

She responded, “we’re looking into it.” Two hours later, when retired commercial real estate attorney Stanley Epstein phoned Cavicante and asked the same question, she told him the information came from AMC’s people at a staff meeting she attended — a meeting that AMC’s corporate spokesman I talked to neither denied or confirmed took place.

AMC’s perceived advantage was removing 1,049 movie seats — a promise they possibly can’t deliver on, nullifying their competitive edge. Nevertheless, HED’s Director Andy Agle advised council, “It’s critical we move forward quickly.” But, Mayor Ken Genser made a motion, approved four to three by council, that without a guarantee of removal of the fourplex’s seats, both proposals would be evaluated by City Council which will choose the better one.

Both projects are similar in size, with numerous enhanced patron amenities and “green” construction. Financial data, affects on traffic and parking (neither proposal includes on-sight parking) and other elements were absent from the report although council’s discussion revealed that ArcLight would pay a 10 percent higher ground rent than AMC. Staff claims a new multiplex is needed because local movie attendance “declined from approximately two million patrons annually during the 1990s to approximately 1.4 million patrons in 2007."

Ominous predictions claim, “If the local trend continues, Santa Monica is at risk of losing its ability to attract first-run releases” — a ridiculous conclusion that’s pure scare tactics.

Staff assumes this is because the Criterion-6, AMC 7 and Loews/AMC Broadway are dated and obsolete. But, these cinemas opened within the last two decades and many auditoriums offer the same big screens, digital projection, stadium seating and THX/digital sound systems as the newest cinemas do. Couch seating, cafes, reserved seats and online booking are possible through remodeling.

Staff ’s assumptions ignore the affects of miserable Downtown traffic, perceived deteriorating promenade ambience, inconvenient garages, parking costs (soon to go up) or that newly opened cinema complexes closer to home may be bigger reasons for dwindling promenade audiences.

Something smells funny here. Why is City Hall in a big rush to negotiate with a politically connected developer/operator whose key selling point now seems to be non-existent? This and other important unanswered questions raise issues in my mind about staff competency, the possibility of hanky-panky and secret back room deals.

Become an activist FEDERAL LAW MANDATES THAT ALL

high schools, colleges and universities across the country that receive federal funds host educational events about the Constitution on Constitution Day, Sept. 17. There were also various festivities in Washington, DC, and in some communities across America celebrating the Constitution.

Unfortunately, the rights enshrined in the Constitution are under constant attack. In fact, the protections and limitations on government power which were once so greatly prized by America’s Founders seem to be rapidly disappearing. Governmental tentacles now invade every facet of our lives. The president continues to expand his powers by centralizing power in his own office. And technology, which has developed at a rapid pace, offers those in government more invasive and awesome tools than ever before.

If we are to maintain our freedoms, “we the people” need to become activists, even revolutionaries, for freedom. We forget the country started with a revolution. However, speaking truth to power is not an easy task.

There can be no room for timidity or lukewarm emotions. We must meet the challenges of our day with passion, dedication and courage. And we must demand that our government respect our rights. Here are a few suggestions: 1. Get educated. Most Americans are largely uneducated about their constitutional rights and liberties. Yet without knowledge, very little can be accomplished. Thus, you must know your rights. Take time to read the Constitution. Study and understand history, because the tales of those who seek power and those who resist it are part of an age-old story. Understand the vital issues of the day so that you can be cognizant of the threats to freedom. I emphasize with people that the Bill of Rights is only 462 words. It takes about five minutes to read if you are a slow reader. Know the Bill of Rights and teach them to your children.

2. Get involved. Become actively involved in local community affairs, politics and legal battles. Think nationally but act locally. If our freedoms are to be restored, taking action at the local level must be the starting point. Getting involved in local politics is one way to bring about change.

Seek out every opportunity to voice your concerns, and demand that your government representatives account for their actions. Be relentless.

3. Take action. Be prepared to mobilize at a moment’s notice. It doesn’t matter who you are, where you’re located or what resources are at your disposal. What matters is that you recognize the problems and care enough to do something about them.

Whether you’re 8, 28 or 88, you have something unique to contribute. You don’t have to be a hero. You just have to show up and be ready to take action.

You can overcome the governmental behemoth with enough cunning, skill and organization. Play to your strengths and assets. Conduct strategy sessions with others to develop both the methods and ways to force change. Be bold and imaginative, for this is guerilla warfare--not to be fought with tanks and guns but through creative methods of nonviolent dissent and resistance.

Effective use of the media is essential.

Attracting media coverage not only enhances and magnifies your efforts. It is also a valuable educational tool. It publicizes your message to a much wider audience. It is through the media--television, newspapers, Internet sites, bloggers, and so on--that people find out about your growing resistance movement.

5. Finally, keep hope alive. Although our rights are increasingly coming under attack, we still have certain freedoms. We can still fight back. We still have the right to dissent, to protest and even to vigorously criticize or oppose the government and its laws. The Constitution guarantees us these rights. If you know your rights, you can bring about change in the government, but it will often mean speaking out when others are silent. It won’t be easy, but take heart.

And don’t give up.

Much like the colonists who dared to stand up to Great Britain in 1776, we too must confront the massive machinery of government. They brought about a revolution because of their courageous tenacity.

Likewise, if we are to pull through these trying times with our freedoms intact, it will take the dedication of each and every one of us.

Time is of the essence.

TYNGSBOROUGH, Mass. Spinning flywheels have been used for centuries for jobs from making pottery to running steam engines.

Now the ancient tool has been given a new job by a Massachusetts company: smooth out the electricity flow, and do it fast and clean.

Beacon Power’s flywheels — each weighing one ton, levitating in a sealed chamber and spinning up to 16,000 times per minute — will make the electric grid more efficient and green, the company says. It’s being given a chance to prove it: the U.S. Department of Energy has granted Beacon a $43 million conditional loan guarantee to construct a 20megawatt flywheel plant in upstate New York.

“We are very excited about this technology and this company,” said Matt Rogers, a senior adviser to the Secretary of Energy.

“It’s a lower (carbon dioxide) impact, much faster response for a growing market need, and so we get pretty excited about that.”

Beacon’s flywheel plant will act as a shortterm energy storage system for New York’s electrical distribution system, sucking excess energy off the grid when supply is high, storing it in the flywheels’ spinning cores, then returning it when demand surges. The buffer protects against swings in electrical power frequency, which, in the worst cases, cause blackouts.

Such frequency regulation makes up just 1 percent of the total U.S. electricity market, but that’s equal to more than $1 billion annually in revenues. The job is done now mainly by fossil-fuel powered generators that Rogers said are one-tenth the speed of flywheels and create double the carbon emissions.

Beacon said the carbon emissions saved over the 20-year life of a single 20-megawatt flywheel plant are equal to the carbon reduction achieved by planting 660,000 trees.

Flywheels also figure into the emerging renewable energy market, where intermittent energy sources such as wind and solar provide power at wildly varying intensities, depending on how long the breeze blows and sun shines. That increases the need for the faster frequency buffering, Rogers said.

Dan Rastler of the Electric Power Research Institute, an industry research group, added that if a carbon tax is passed by Congress, flywheels start looking a lot better than fossil-fuel powered alternatives.

Beacon’s flywheels, massive carbon and fiberglass cylinders, have already been tested on a small scale in New York, California and the company’s Tyngsborough offices. Chief executive officer Bill Capp hopes the Stephentown, N.Y., plant will be up and running by the end of 2010.

Flywheels are rotating discs or cylinders

that store energy as motion, like the bicycle wheel that keeps rotating long after a pedal’s been turned. That energy can be drawn off smoothly depending on the needs of the user, such as when the speed of a potter’s wheel is adjusted to shape the clay as desired.

The basics of Beacon’s flywheels seem simple enough as they spin silently in their chambers in a small facility outside Beacon’s Tyngsborough plant. But the technological challenges to create them were immense and have cost Beacon $180 million, so far.

For instance, the one-ton flywheel had to be durable enough to spin smoothly at exceptionally high speeds. To avoid losing stored energy to friction, the flywheel levitates between magnets in a vacuum chamber.

“We’ve pretty much demonstrated that it works, it’s just a question of scaling,” Capp said. “The more we run, the more people get comfortable with us.”

Beacon’s flywheels are powered by the excess energy they take off the grid. When demand for electricity surges, the flywheels even things out and return the energy to the grid by slowing down.

Flywheels have some clear benefits in energy storage, including the durability to store and release power hundreds of thousands of times over a long, 20-year life, said Yuri Makarov, chief scientist in power systems at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, which tested Beacon’s system for the DOE. Chemical batteries being developed for the same job wear out after a couple thousand charge-and-discharge cycles.

Flywheels use less energy than fossil-fuel powered generators because they adjust more quickly to the ever-shifting demands of the electric grid by simply slowing down or spinning faster, Makarov said. Fossil-fuel generators are slower and less efficient as they constantly fire up and down.

The disadvantage of flywheels, Makarov said, is that they can only store a limited amount of energy for a limited amount of time. That can shut them out of numerous other services the grid demands — and that other storage technologies can perform — such as long-term power storage.

Regulations in many markets are also lagging. Beacon will bid against other power generators to provide frequency regulation, but in some markets, the bidding system doesn’t even exist yet for energy storage.

Beacon’s reward for taking on the technology is that it’s the first flywheel company in the nation ready to provide utility-scale frequency regulation in the electric grid.

Rogers said the New York project will help show whether the flywheels can do the job: “If they’re successful in New York, we’d expect this kind of technology to be picked up in many other markets around the country,” he said.

Harnessing rain Dear EarthTalk

GET YOUR

How can I make good use of the rainwater that runs down my roof and into my gutters?

Brian Smith

DOCUMENTS

Nashua, NH

FOR MOST OF US, THE RAIN THAT FALLS

on our roof runs off into the ground or the sewer system. But if you’re motivated to save a little water and re-distribute it on your lawns or plants — or even use it for laundry, dishes or other interior needs — collecting rainwater from your gutters’ downspouts is a no-brainer.

If it’s allowed in your state, that is. Utah and parts of Washington State have antiquated but nonetheless tough laws banning anyone but owners of water rights from collecting rainwater flowing off privately owned rooftops. Such laws are rarely enforced, however, and one in Colorado was recently overturned.

According to John C. Davis, writing in E – The Environmental Magazine, just about any homeowner can collect rainwater, given that the roof and gutters do most of the work. And since an inch of rain falling on a 2,000-square-foot roof produces some 1,200 gallons of runoff, one can harvest enough to supply all the water needs of a family of four for about two weeks. Of course, most of us would only use rainwater to irrigate our lawn or garden, and there should be plenty to go around for doing that in all but the most drought stricken areas.

Plants and grass actually do better when fed rainwater instead of tap water, which is usually treated with softeners that actually inhibit plant growth. And, reports Davis, the lack of minerals in rainwater actually makes it more effective than tap water for shampooing or doing dishes. Using rainwater for plumbing uses can also extend the life of pipes and water heaters, since the salts added to tap water facilitate corrosion.

Homeowners should set up a water purification system if they do plan to use rainwater for interior needs.

Beyond the benefits to individual homeowners, rainwater harvesting can also be good for the local community, as it reduces the erosion, flooding and pollution runoff associated with heavy rainfall, and lessens reliance on public water supplies, alleviating some of the burden on utilities. Given these benefits, some states, including even drought-prone Texas, subsidize residential

WASTE NOT: Collecting rain water from your gutters' downspouts is a no-brainer and is not expensive to do. It can then be used to water the lawn and garden, and even be used for laundry, dishes and other interior needs with the addition of a water purification system.

rainwater collection systems.

Many varieties of rain barrel systems, starting at just $100, are available for home installation. A typical set-up is simply a rain barrel positioned under a gutter’s downspout. “The barrel is typically fitted with a spigot at its base to fill a watering can or attach a soaker hose (which bleeds out water all along its length, providing effortless drip irrigation), and a filter or screen at its top to prevent a buildup of leaves and other debris,” writes Davis. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, a single 100 gallon rain barrel can save up to 1,300 gallons of utility-provided water during the high demand summer months.

Handy homeowners can make their own water harvesting systems, but buying one premade is a lot easier. Most nurseries and garden centers offer a range of choices (as well as advice), but websites such as Aquabarrel, Clean Air Gardening and Rainxchange make it easy to order a system online.

A newspaper with issues

DENVER Investigators said they found notes describing how to make bombs in the handwriting of an airport shuttle driver arrested as part of a terrorism investigation, and they also discovered his fingerprints on materials — batteries and a scale — that could be used to make explosives.

The emerging details show that Najibullah Zazi, who has admitted receiving weapons training from al-Qaida, played a direct role in an alleged terror plot, authorities said court documents released Sunday.

Zazi, 24, has publicly denied being involved in terror plot. Zazi, his father, and an Imam in New York City were arrested late Saturday on charges of making a false statement to the government, though legal experts say more charges could be coming.

Zazi’s defense team denied reports that Zazi considered a plea deal related to terror charges, and Zazi’s attorney, Arthur Folsom, dismissed as “rumor”any notion that Zazi played a crucial role. Zazi’s defense team did not respond to repeated attempts to reach them Sunday.

Federal officials in Denver declined to comment.

Zazi admitted to FBI agents that he received instructions from al-Qaida operatives on subjects such as weapons and explosives. Court documents filed in Denver say Zazi was speaking with agents under an agreement where he might avoid prosecution.

He received the training in the federally administered tribal areas of Pakistan, the documents say.

The FBI said it found images of nine pages of handwritten notes on a laptop containing formulas and instructions for making bomb, detonators and a fuse.

Zazi told the FBI that he must have unintentionally downloaded the notes as part of a religious book he downloaded in August. Zazi said he “immediately deleted the religious book within days of downloading it after realizing that its contents discussed jihad.”

However, an arrest affidavit says the handwriting on the notes appeared to be Zazi’s.

The affidavit doesn’t mention that they were part of a book, but that they were e-mailed as an attachment between accounts believed owned by Zazi in December, including an account that originated in Pakistan.

“It appeared to be consistent with the handwriting as it appeared in the document,” an FBI agent wrote of comparisons of Zazi’s handwriting with the notes.

In addition, agents found Zazi’s fingerprints on a scale and double-A batteries seized during a raid at a home in the New York City borough of Queens on Sept. 14.

Zazi, who lives in the Denver suburb of Aurora, underwent three days of questioning by the FBI before his arrest.

Also arrested were his father, Mohammed Wali Zazi, 53, in Denver; and an associate, Ahmad Wais Afzali, 37, of New York City, the Justice Department said Sunday. Both also were charged with making false statements to federal agents, which carries a penalty of eight years in prison.

Court appearances for all three were set for Monday.

Both Mohammed Zazi and Afzali face charges for allegedly lying to FBI agents about calls between Denver and New York. While prosecutors are seeking to detain Najibullah Zazi, prosecutors say they’re not seeking detention for Mohammed Zazi, his father.

It was unclear from court documents

whether officials would seek to detain Afzali, an Imam at a mosque in Queens who has worked as an informant for New York police.

Crews of journalists clustered outside Afzali’s home in Queens. No one answered the doorbell at the three-story brick residence, adorned with brightly colored flower boxes.

Carl Tobias, a law professor at the University of Richmond who has been tracking terrorist investigations around the country, said authorities could have made the arrests now because they feared too much information was getting out to the suspects. Additional charges could be filed later, he said.

FBI agents say Najibullah Zazi traveled to Pakistan twice this year on Jan. 15 and most recently on Aug. 28. Zazi says he was visiting his wife, who lives in the Peshawar region.

The investigation escalated after Zazi rented a car and drove from Denver to New York, crossing into Manhattan on Sept. 10. Zazi said he went to New York to resolve some issues with a coffee cart he owns in Manhattan, then flew home to Denver. The FBI searched Zazi’s rental car and laptop during the New York trip and listened in on telephone conversations, according to the affidavits.

On Monday, FBI agents and police officers with search warrants seeking bomb materials searched three apartments and questioned residents in the Queens neighborhood where Zazi stayed.

An arrest warrant affidavit says FBI agents intercepted a phone conversation around Sept. 11 in which Afzali, a legal permanent resident from Afghanistan, told Zazi that he had spoken with authorities. “I was exposed to something yesterday from the authorities.

And they came to ask me about your characters (sic). They asked me about you guys,” Afzali told Zazi, according to the affidavit.

However, Afzali allegedly lied to authorities about that conversation when federal agents asked him about it Thursday, according to the affidavit.

The department says Mohammed Zazi, a naturalized U.S. citizen who was interviewed last week by the FBI, lied when asked if he knew anyone by the name of Afzali and said he didn’t. The FBI said it had wiretapped a conversation between Mohammed Zazi and Afzali during Najibullah Zazi’s visit to New York.

The FBI also searched Zazi’s apartment and his uncle and aunt’s home last week in suburban Denver. Authorities have not said what they found.

Zazi was born in Afghanistan in 1985, moved to Pakistan at age 7 and emigrated to the United States in 1999. He returned to Pakistan in 2007 and 2008 to visit his wife, according to Folsom.

Zakir Khan said he had seen Zazi praying at the mosque recently, after not seeing him there for about a year. Zazi told him he was back in the city to get his coffee truck, to take it back to Colorado. Zazi spoke to Khan about his hopes of one day opening a limo business.

The New York Daily News reported Saturday that investigators spent several hours earlier this week at a U-Haul in Queens, where some men under scrutiny in the case tried to rent a large truck.

A manager at the rental lot, Robert Larson, told the newspaper the men went away empty handed because they didn’t have a valid credit card. The paper reported that U-Haul workers identified one of the people involved in the rental attempt as Naiz Khan, an Afghan immigrant in Queens who knew Zazi and has been questioned by the FBI in connection with the case.

Medical marijuana law creates confusion in Wash.

GENE JOHNSON Associated Press Writer

SEATTLE In one corner of Washington state, a 62-year-old rheumatoid arthritis patient could face more than eight years in prison for growing marijuana for himself and three others. In Seattle, meanwhile, a collection of grow operations serves 2,000 people with little interference from police.

The discrepancy is typical of the confusion that has reigned since voters passed Washington’s medical marijuana law more than a decade ago. Nor have things improved much since the state clarified how much pot patients can have last year.

Unlike some states, Washington requires patients to grow marijuana themselves or designate a caregiver to grow it for them. For many, that’s unrealistic: They’re too sick to grow cannabis themselves and don’t have the thousands of dollars it can cost for a caregiver to set up a proper growing operation.

So they’ve devised their own schemes, claiming to meet the letter of the law in establishing collective grows or storefront dispensaries — methods that are making police and prosecutors increasingly uncomfortable.

“The spirit of the law would recognize the necessity of having small cooperative ventures,” said Dan Satterberg, the prosecutor in King County, where Seattle is. “But if they get past a certain size, become a magnet for neighborhood violence, or you get other people showing up to buy marijuana who are not permitted to under the law, then there’s tension.”

Three years ago, Satterberg’s office declined to prosecute a man who was growing 130 plants for 40 people. But a case this year may be testing his tolerance: He hasn’t decided whether to charge a hepatitis patient caught with 200 plants, which he claimed supplied more than 100 other patients.

Some activists and the American Civil Liberties Union of Washington recently began discussions with Seattle police over whether to limit the size of cooperative grows.

In Spokane this month, police shut down a medical marijuana dispensary — the first such bust in the state — and arrested the two owners. They warned a half-dozen other dispensaries to close as well, and the raid quickly drew protests from patients. The raid has set up a high-profile court fight.

Approved by voters in 1998, it allows doctors to recommend cannabis as a treatment for a series of debilitating or terminal conditions — a smaller range of illnesses than California’s law. A year ago, the state issued guidelines to give police and patients alike an idea of how much pot was OK: Up to 15 plants and 24 ounces of dried marijuana per patient. People can have more if they demonstrate need.

Police in some jurisdictions have applied

the guidelines strictly, arresting people simply for having more than 15 plants, even if they possessed no usable marijuana. In Seattle, Satterberg issued a memo to law enforcement saying he wasn’t interested in dragging sick people to court. Some other counties have also adopted a lenient view.

Washington’s law says that a caregiver can only provide marijuana to one patient at any one time. In Spokane this year, medical marijuana activists focused on that language in setting up a for-profit dispensary called Change.

Lawyer Frank Cikutovich said the business met legal requirements: A lone patient would enter the store, sign a document designating the shop as his or her caregiver, and buy marijuana. The agreement expired when the patient left and the next customer came in.

The business, raided on Sept. 10, rendered the “one patient, one caregiver” rule meaningless, Spokane police spokeswoman Jennifer DeRuwe said. She said there was peripheral crime associated with the dispensary, including robberies at grow sites and street sales from people who had purchased pot there.

“They’re dispensing to hundreds and thousands of people,” DeRuwe said. “The police department’s stand is, we want to get some guidance on this. We know it’s going to be up to the court system to provide us with that.”

In Western Washington, patients have instead opted for cooperatives, Seattle medical marijuana attorney Douglas Hiatt said.

Those are closed membership groups.

Patients pay dues or otherwise contribute on a sliding financial scale for their medicine, and some people work full time and even draw salaries under the table.

“For some people, it would be difficult to see marijuana being sold out of storefronts in their neighborhoods,” Hiatt said. “But most Washington patients really haven’t gone that way. They’ve wanted to be on the down-low, and the majority of folks are not for the California-style delivery system.”

Members of one Seattle collective say it serves 2,000 patients and is primarily supplied by about a dozen grow sites, which range from a handful of mature plants to about 70 — a few hundred plants in all, compared to the 30,000 that the patients would be allowed under the 15-plant guideline.

One of the grows is in the basement of a Seattle home surrounded by blackberries and condominiums. Dozens of starter plants fill one cramped room, while in the next a bumper crop of 15 plants is just days from yielding around 16 pounds of pot.

Setting up the grow operation with custom-built transformers, ventilation and lighting systems cost more than $50,000 — even though union electricians donated their time. The marijuana is brought to a clinic in an industrial South Seattle neighborhood for trimming and distribution, said the HIV patient who tends the plants.

Strain is at home under the waves FROM CP PAGE 1 because it was so powerful. These animals sacrifice so much so that humans can realize how important the oceans are. … I think that people need to see something is beautiful before they realize it is worth protecting.”

But to become a dolphin trainer and work with those courageous animals, Strain had to swim 120 feet under water with one breath, a feat of strength and endurance that she thought was impossible, especially for someone who quit smoking (she admits to having a two-pack-a-day habit) only a couple of years prior.

“When I started scuba diving, I realized I really liked it but I thought that swimming underwater for great distances and holding my breath for a long time was insane,” Strain said.

But never one to back down from a challenge, the free-spirited Strain, known for her bright eyes and a large mermaid tattoo that covers the majority of her back, jumped in head first, taking freediving lessons from fellow Canadians who noticed she had a natural ability to hold her breath. From there she started training, earned a spot with the Canadian national team and began breaking records.

The sport of freediving is not well known.

It is essentially any aquatic activity in which the swimmer holds their breath for an extended period of time. Examples include breathhold spear fishing, freedive photography, apnea competitions and, to a degree, snorkeling. However the activity that garners the most attention is competitive apnea, an extreme sport in which competitors attempt to attain great depths, times or distances in a single breath without direct assistance or a breathing apparatus. Fins are used in some events. Strain has been able to hold Photo courtesy Mike Wells her breath for minutes at a time, swimming more than 170 meters on one breath.

“But you can’t get too relaxed. If you get sure to warn him about the dangers.

“If a little kid does that and then they die, too relaxed for a long time, you will fall asleep,” she said with a laugh. “I’m still trying I personally am not going to be able to live to work on my exact technique because in with my guilty conscience … ,” she said. the previous world’s I went to sleep a couple “When I see that, I have to educate.”

Neighbors, who said they have been frustrated with the decreased quality of life due to The Parlor for some time, took the opportunity to bring their frustrations to the commission, which in turn restricted The Parlor’s operations.

Many of the complaints had to do with patrons who use the city-owned lot behind the restaurant. Pyun said security staff watch the lot on busy nights, but neighbors said the noise disturbs them, and that security have not stopped patrons from trespassing on their property and urinating in yards.

Two neighbors presented petitions to the commission. One supported the variance and use permit, but residents were still concerned with the enforcement of the conditions required by City Hall.

Other neighbors stood up in support of The Parlor’s atmosphere and operations, calling it a community establishment.

The owners addressed concerns, explaining that they have six security staff on duty on busy nights and have posted signs asking patrons to be mindful of neighbors. Pyun said he lives near the restaurant, adjacent to the city-owned parking lot which residents say is the site of a lot of the rowdy behavior.

He told the commissioners that if he hears noise, he calls the managers on duty to ensure security is alerted.

Commissioner Jim Ries said he did not want to shut down the business, but added that “there are too many problems” to not impose changes on the way the business is currently run.

The stipulations by the commissioners include limiting the hours of operation, charging less for valet service to alleviate parking in the city-owned lot, reducing in the seating occupancy to 135 (while still using the two floors), and possibly putting in a window on the open balcony on the second floor, where a lot of music and noise escapes.

The owners will also have to reappear before the planning commission after filing a report in 90 days outlining how they have met those conditions. The commissioners will then consider whether to allow the increased seating occupancy, up to 225, or to revoke their permits and put The Parlor out of business. City staff pointed out that the planning commission has never successfully revoked a permit, putting a business out.

The approval passed 4-1, with Hank Koning, acting commissioner chair, dissent-

ing largely because of the reduced occupancy requirement.

With the approval, The Parlor is now deemed a “restaurant” by City Hall and will follow different guidelines, including the requirement of a food order with a drink order — even at the bar — and limits alcohol sales to no more than 35 percent of the total gross revenue, among other stipulations.

ONCOLOGY CENTER GETS NEW DESIGN

A new design for a building, slated to house Santa Monica-UCLA’s oncology and outpatient surgery center, was approved by the planning commission Wednesday.

When the project was first presented to the commission on May 20, the “design got beat up pretty badly,” said property owner Randy Miller at Wednesday’s meeting. At that meeting, the commission suggested to add better landscaping, more solar panels on the roof, bicycle and motorcycle space in the garage, and a third-story floor plan, as well as switch to one driveway to the garage.

The new architect of the building, Michael W. Folonis Architects, presented a new design for the three-story, 45,000square-foot building.

“Everything that I had issue with has been significantly addressed,” said Commissioner Jay Johnson, referring to a less boxy design, lighter façade, additional landscaping and other changes.

The building will also house 44 new commercial units to be used a medical office space. Commissioner Ries was concerned that if these were ever sold individually, unwelcome businesses could lease the space.

Miller reassured the commission that the building would be used for medical use only, and that this requirement would follow the property if sold.

Santa Monica’s UCLA Medical Center is slated to lease the building for 25-30 years.

The building has also applied for LEED certification, supported by its use of natural light, the automated garage parking system and the solar panels that will cover a large part of the building’s roof. The garage will be used in the evenings by residents who purchase a monthly parking pass.

The commission unanimously approved the design, with recommendations regarding parking costs, an additional stairway and the use of the commercial spaces. news@smdp.com

Big Tujunga was site of fire FROM FIRE PAGE 3 to local groups.

As a nonprofit, it is not subject to open government laws even though much of its funding comes from the government.

“When the federal government wants to build a road, you hire a private sector company to build a road, you don’t establish a statewide nonprofit,” Sherman said. “I don’t know why you would need all these intermediary agencies. ... It ought to be transparent, and not just with regard to the canyon but their whole setup.”

Layers of review for each grant include a committee with representatives from federal agencies that makes recommendations to the council. One of the factors considered is a group’s history in fire safety projects and ability to complete the job.

In the case of Big Tujunga, the grant was awarded to a group headed by Ben Furia Means, a fitness trainer, massage therapist

and recording engineer with no apparent background in fire safety work.

Means’ group, the Big Tujunga Fire Safe Council, is one of dozens of local councils established around the state that pursue such grants.

Contacted by e-mail, Means did not respond to repeated requests to explain what went awry with the grant. His phone was out of service — his home was among those lost in the fire.

“It is very unfortunate that this much damage occurred,” Means wrote.

In written statements, state council Executive Director Margaret Grayson provided few specifics about how the grant turned sour.

She would not release a copy of the Big Tujunga application, saying it is not a public document.

“We felt that the Big Tujunga grant had merit and attempted to move forward with it,” Grayson wrote.

Strain has become top freediver FROM CP PAGE 11 to become an actress. I realized that acting wasn’t something that I was passionate about. … For me it was just something fun to do. When I started doing all these outdoor activities, acting just kind of lost its excitement. I still do modeling gigs and acting when people come to me. But I don’t have that drive to go to auditions, keep my hair one color and get three different head shots.”

Then came the trip to Sea World and the rest is history. Strain likes to say that she goes through “open doors,” seizing whatever opportunities come her way, even if it means taking a risk.

When looking back on her childhood, it’s easy to see why Strain feels so comfortable in the water. As a young girl in Canada, her family would often go on camping trips near lakes. Strain would always be the first one to jump in.

“I lived in my bikini during the summer,” she said.

Strain’s first memory of the water was when she was 8 years old. Her older brothers strapped her onto a knee board and towed her around a lake. After jumping the wake, Strain landed upside down, her face submerged for about a minute. She was horrified, but managed to right herself.

“That kind of freaked me out,” Strain said. But it never stopped her from getting back into the water.

When Strain isn’t traveling around the world competing, she can be found working from home as the financial manager for a company that manages nightclubs. The job

gives her the flexibility to travel and train since she can work from just about everywhere. She can also be found doing yoga with Bryan Kest, dancing (she wishes more men knew how to ballroom dance), downing a meatball sub at Bay Cities Deli or shopping at the Co-Opportunity Market on Broadway.

“Santa Monica has so many great things here,” Strain said, explaining why she chose to settle in Santa Monica after having spent time in Culver City, Silverlake, Downtown Los Angeles and West Hollywood. “There are so many little food communities, a fantastic yoga community, we have the Farmers’ Markets, tons of really great restaurants. It has everything you need.”

In the next three to five years, Strain will focus on her freediving career, looking to increase her breathhold so that she can compete with the best in the sport. She will also put a lot of energy into finding more sponsors to help fund her trips. Strain keeps fans informed through a blog on her Web site, www.janastrain.com “It really has been a life-changing experience,” Strain said of her exposure to freediving. “My focus three years ago was more about having the right car, the house, the job and wanting to settle down. Now I am not sure I want to have kids anymore because I have been having so much fun traveling and meeting new people.

“I thought I wanted all these material things but in the end that wasn’t what made me happy, it wasn’t what made me feel joy.

Happiness comes from the inside.”

SANTA MONICA

SAN FRANCISCO Frank Gore’s spectacular day single-handedly re-established the run game for San Francisco.

Gore had touchdown runs of 79 and a career-best 80 yards and finished with 207 yards on 16 carries, and the 49ers beat the Seattle Seahawks 23-10 to take an early hold atop the NFC West standings.

Gore, who surpassed San Francisco’s Week 1 rushing total of 21 yards in the first series, nearly reached his franchise mark of 212 yards set in 2006 before leaving the game in the fourth quarter with a sprained right ankle that didn’t appear serious. He became only the second player in NFL history to have two TD runs of 79 or more yards in the same game, joining Barry Sanders. Sanders had runs of 80 and 82 yards at Tampa Bay on Oct. 12, 1997.

Seattle (1-1), coming off a 28-0 seasonopening win at St. Louis, took a big blow losing quarterback Matt Hasselbeck to a rib injury just before halftime following a hard hit near the goal line by Patrick Willis.

Hasselbeck didn’t return after completing 10 of 18 passes for 97 yards and no touchdowns.

Gore also posted just the third 200-yard rushing game in team history. Charlie Garner ran for 201 yards at Dallas on Sept.

24, 2000. Gore had his 212-yard day Nov. 19, 2006, also at Candlestick Park against Seattle. His 246 total yards from scrimmage Sunday was a career high, topping the 238 he had in that ‘06 game with the Seahawks.

Joe Nedney kicked field goals of 37, 42 and 39 yards for the 49ers. Coach Mike Singletary’s team is off to a 2-0 start after he demanded that his players perform better this week and find their identity as a running team. San Francisco won at defending NFC champion Arizona in Week 1.

The 49ers’ defense was dominant again this week, handing former 49ers defensive coordinator Jim Mora his first loss since taking over this season for Mike Holmgren.

MUSM: BF: OLL: POS: WTGP: LMIRL: HDOP:

What a difference from Singletary’s debut at Candlestick Park last October, when he took over for the fired Mike Nolan. San Francisco lost to the Seahawks in a game in which he benched quarterback J.T. O’Sullivan in favor of Shaun Hill, pulled his pants down at halftime to make a point and sent volatile tight end Vernon Davis to the showers early after a personal foul penalty.

Hill was 19 for 26 for 144 yards with no TDs or interceptions and was sacked four times. He improved to 6-0 as a starter at Candlestick and 9-3 overall as an NFL starter. His job was easy: give the ball to Gore.

Gore, who had just 30 yards on 22 carries in the win over the Cardinals, had averaged 76 yards against Seattle in the previous four meetings since his Pro Bowl 2006 season. He ran for 144 yards in the other ‘06 game versus Seattle.

Hasselbeck went down for several minutes and was taken to the locker room. He was hurt with 26 seconds left before halftime while trying to dive for the end zone and was stopped at the 1-yard line. Hasselbeck got up and was wobbly as he made his way to the sideline, where he fell to his knees and was quickly swarmed by Seattle coaches and trainers.

Backup QB Seneca Wallace came in on the next play and threw a 1-yard touchdown pass to Julius Jones to pull Seattle within 1310.

Ray McDonald had his second sack in as many games, dropping Hasselbeck for a 7yard loss as the Seahawks went three-andout in their opening series.

San Francisco had Allen Rossum’s 75yard punt return for a score negated on an illegal block in the back penalty by Glen Coffee.

Seattle left tackle Sean Locklear, playing in place of the inactive Walter Jones, injured an ankle in the second quarter and didn’t return.

San Francisco safety Dashon Goldson had his first career interception late in the third quarter.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) ★★★ All work and no play might not be fun, but it might be absolutely necessary. Investigate what is happening behind the scenes with a family member. Is something happening before your very eyes, and you might not be acknowledging it? Stop and let go of a mental filter.

Tonight: Take it easy.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Indulge yourself a bit more. In the long run, you do need to do just that. Tonight: Order in.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

★★★★ Your softness comes out with a key person. You want others to be open and forthright. A caring attitude attracts many people, and they don't worry about feeling vulnerable or upset. Listen to news carefully, but do evaluate what is fact and what is fiction. Tonight: Hanging out.

★★★★★ Keep reaching out for others at a distance. Detach from a volatile situation in order to find solutions that succeed as you might like. Open up to others and their ideas. You could be surprised by what happens when you work together. Tonight: Let your imagination soar.

★★★★★ Think before you leap into action.

Understand what is happening behind the scenes, before you even entertain any interaction. Verify information. Your sixth sense kicks in with finances, though still be careful with a risk. Make it OK to say no. Tonight: As you like.

Happy birthday You could be surprised by how many opportunities appear, especially after this fall. Connect with your inner desires, and learn how and when

to act on them. Manifesting in 2010 becomes even easier, especially with relationships. If you are single, you easily could attract Mr. or Ms. Right. Your biggest problem will be choosing from your many potential suitors. When deciding, also eye what type of commitment you want. If you are attached, the two of you will bond much more closely if you give your partner more of his or her head space. SCORPIO helps you open doors.

GETTING STARTED There are many strategies to solving Sudoku. One way to begin is to examine each 3x3 grid and figure out which numbers are missing. Then, based on the other numbers in the row and column of each blank cell, find which of the missing numbers will work. Eliminating numbers will eventually lead you to the answer.

SOLUTIONS TO YESTERDAY’S PUZZLE

CHUCK

SHEPARD

■ If society were ever attacked by zombies, we would probably be doomed, and quickly. That was the conclusion of two university researchers in Ottawa, Ontario, who set up mathematical models hypothesizing zombie attacks as infectious diseases with the wellknown characteristics of zombie biology from popular fiction. In fact, according to a July BBC News report, zombies are more threatening than virulent diseases because they can regenerate (unless decapitated or incinerated, of course). More troubling was the researchers' presumption that zombies move slowly, as in older movies, but in recent fiction, they're super-quick, making them nearly invincible.

■ Scared-y Cat Brits: (1) In June the Peterborough City Council ordered retirees who come together for weekly coffee at the public library to give up hot drinks, in case one accidentally spilled on a child. (2) In July the Dagenham Pool in Essex, citing (according to the manager) drowning risks, banned swimmers from doing "lengths" and forced them instead to swim "widths."

(3) In June the Brighton and Hove City Council ordered nature-lover Hilaire Purbrick, 45, out of the cave that has been his residence for 16 years, citing its lack of a "fire exit."
