Fairy Tale
Direct Lead
Simba, son of the late Mufasa, has taken his rightful place as king of the pride after overthrowing his uncle in a violent and lengthy showdown.
Delayed Lead
Mufasa's legacy was reduced to a memory, carefully stored away in the minds of his subjects to be brought out in secrecy as a source of comfort during the darkest hours of his tyrant brother's reign. Hope was nowhere to be found, but hope took physical form when Simba, the long lost prince, returned and staged a coup, overthrowing Scar and taking his rightful place as king of the pride.

You might not notice the changes, but parts of Mineta San Jose International Airport's terminal C are disappearing.
To make room for a new terminal, crews began Tuesday night tearing down the north end of terminal C, spokesman David Vossbrink said. The new terminal B, which abuts where terminal C is now, will open in 2010, as part of a $1.3 billion upgrade program at the airport.
Officials have prepared for the teardown for months.
In December, airport officials moved check-in counters and security checkpoints for terminal C's north end. The rest of the building will remain standing and open until the new terminal is ready.
Who: San Jose Intnt'l Aiport
What: Demolition of terminal C
Where: Terminal C at the airport

Trio arrested in rash of burglaries at Stanford dorms

Three suspects were arrested following burglaries in dormitory rooms at Stanford University - and the stolen items were returned to worried students.
Two men and a woman - Delarian Lee, 20, of San Francisco; Kethen Hubbard, 26, of San Francisco and Rashima Barnett, 19, of Novato - were stopped by Stanford police at mid-afternoon of Jan. 31 outside of Granada dormitory, on the west side of campus.
Police said they recovered electronic devices such as cameras, iPods and laptops.
"A lot of students were very happy," said Lt. Larry St. Denis of the Stanford police. "Those laptops had a lot of stored work on them."
Similar burglaries have been reported from other dorms on campus in recent weeks but they have not been linked to these suspects, St. Denis said.
According to the Stanford Daily, about 20 students have reported thefts. Teresa Riseborough, a university housing manager, told the Daily that the alleged burglars had been staking out residences on campus the previous day and had drawn suspicion from residents in several dorms.
Dormitories are locked but students apparently opened the door for the suspects. One student had seen a group of people attempting to break into a residence on Wednesday but did not call authorities, according to Riseborough.
