Cities Grapple With Oil-Train Safety

WASHINGTON—A U.S. appealscourt on Tuesday threw out fed-eral rules requiring broadbandproviders to treat all Internettraffic equally, raising the pros-pect that bandwidth-hungrywebsites like Netflix Inc. mighthave to pay tolls to ensure qual-ity service.

The ruling was a blow to theObama administration, which haspushed the idea of “net neutral-ity.” And it sharpened the struggleby the nation’s big entertainmentand telecommunications compa-nies to shape the regulation ofbroadband, now a vital pipelinefor tens of millions of Americansto view video and other media.

For consumers, the rulingcould usher in an era of tieredInternet service, in which theyget some content at full speedwhile other websites appear

slower because their ownerschose not to pay up.

“It takes the Internet intocompletely uncharted territory,”said Tim Wu, a Columbia Univer-sity law professor who coinedthe term net neutrality.

Adopted in 2010, the FederalCommunications Commissionrules said that companies likeVerizon Communications Inc.and Comcast Corp. had to treatall similar content on their net-works equally, whether it was aYouTube video or a home videoposted on a personal website.

Deciding a lawsuit brought byVerizon, a three-judge panel of theU.S. Court of Appeals for the Dis-trict of Columbia Circuit struckdown the rules. The court said theFCC saddled broadband providerswith the same sorts of obligationsas traditional “common carrier”telecommunications services, suchas landline phone systems, even

RIVERSIDE, Calif.—Deborah Clark said a voicenamed Dora told her to burn books in a hall closet.She lighted them while her elderly, ailing parentsslept and then walked to the store to buy dog food.

Smoke from the fire in April 2012 killed both ofthem, the local coroner ruled. Prosecutors chargedMs. Clark with arson and murder. The 49-year-oldwoman is in protective custody in a RiversideCounty jail, awaiting a court hearing Thursday onwhether she is competent to go on trial.

When her siblings visit, she asks if she can gohome. Ms. Clark says she misses her mother and fa-ther and dreams about them almost every night.

Ms. Clark has schizophrenia and an IQ of 63. Thevoices she hears are a symptom of her mental ill-ness, and her childlike mental functioning is a devel-opmental disability. While her case ended in extremetragedy, it spotlights the huge challenges facing anestimated 1.5 million people in the U.S. who suffer

from a debilitating combination of mental illness anddevelopmental disability.

For most of her life, Ms. Clark bounced around afragmented treatment and support system that lefther and family members who tried to help mostly ontheir own, according to interviews with relatives anda review of some of her medical records.

In most states, including California, mental-healthtreatment is overseen by counties, while state offi-cials coordinate developmental-disability services.The splintered system makes it extremely hard tocoordinate treatment, and few professionals aretrained to even identify coexisting conditions.

Odd or aggressive behavior might be wrongly at-tributed to the developmental disability and thusdismissed as untreatable. Many serious mental ill-nesses can be treated through medication. Services,funded by different parts of government, cater toone problem or the other but rarely both.

BEIRUT—European intelli-gence agencies secretly metwith Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s delegates to share infor-mation on European extremistsoperating in Syria, Western andMiddle Eastern officials said,the first known encounters sincewithdrawing their ambassadors.

The meetings were intendedto gather information on at least1,200 European jihadists thatWestern officials say have joinedmilitant groups in Syria, amidEuropean concerns these citi-zens will pose a threat whenthey return home.

The talks are narrowly fo-cused on the extremists and onal Qaeda’s growing might inSyria and don’t represent abroader diplomatic opening, theWestern and Middle Eastern of-ficials and diplomats said.

But Mr. Assad’s opponents inSyria and in Istanbul, where thepolitical opposition is based,said they are concerned that theinformation sharing suggestsWestern capitals are starting to

accept the possibility the Syrianleader will retain power for theforeseeable future.

Opposition members also areconcerned the contacts—coupledwith an international effort un-der way to remove Syria’s chem-ical arms—could grow intowider cooperation in fightingterror groups in Syria.

That could bolster Mr. As-sad’s argument that his leader-ship is needed to fight al Qaeda,which has gained Syrian terri-tory in recent months.

“We worry that these prelimi-nary discussions could lead tobroader cooperation,” said aSyrian opposition member in Is-tanbul.

A retired official from MI6,the British foreign intelligencearm, was the first to visit Da-mascus in midsummer on behalfof the British government, twopeople said. German, French andSpanish intelligence agencieshave been speaking to regime

JEJU, South Korea—On pic-turesque Jeju island, visitors canhike through tangerine orchardsto a dormant volcano, watchwomen dive for shellfish or, if itstrikes their fancy, take in theWorld Eros Museum.

It’s one of Jeju’s three sexmuseums. Fromthere, visitors canvisit two chocolatemuseums, threeteddy-bear muse-ums and, by onecount, seven muse-ums that special-ize in “trick art,”images that letpeople pose as ifthey are stuck in ashark’s mouth orhaving a drink with five scantilyclad women.

There are more than 100 mu-seums on this island about halfthe size of Rhode Island, most ofwhich opened in the past fewyears. The new competition hasset off feuds among museum

owners who accuse each other ofcopycatting, running lame muse-ums and cutting deals with touroperators to bring in busloads offree-spending Chinese tourists.

Recently the owner of theLoveland Museum, one of thesex museums, accused the SecretGarden Museum across thestreet of changing its exhibitions

from glass to sex.“About 90% oftheir exhibitionhad a sexualtheme,” said LeeSung-hyung, gen-eral officer atLoveland Museum,a collection of tit-illating sculpturesand exhibits. “Weraised the issue tothe province,” he

says. “They removed exhibitsthat were problematic.” SecretGarden management couldn’t bereached for comment.
