A Cuban-Americans
perspective on policy changes
Editor,
Oftentimes when I tell someone I
am Cuban-American (born of Cuban
parents in the United States and raised
in Miami) the response is the same,
Oh thats so cool. Have you been to
Cuba? to which I always reply, No
not yet. Someday. Rarely do I get
into my reasons for not going.
Because, like my feelings on the
recent news of the U.S. policy
changes on Cuba, its complicated.
I think that generally Americans
dont fully understand why its so
complicated. When Obama talked
about Cutting loose the shackles of
the past, I couldnt help but bristle a
bit and think, Easy for him to say.
The heartbreak over having left a life
behind on that island was a mainstay
of my upbringing, debated countless
times throughout the years. My parents suffered and struggled greatly
after leaving Cuba and even 50 years
later, it was still a very painful subject. So for the United States to decide
that its been long enough and expect
everyone to agree with this new
approach is insensitive and unfair.
However, is it fair to ask Cubans living on the island today to continue to

learned my first Spanish curse words when I happened to mention the name Castro in front of my
friends dad. A litany of such language followed
and I was essentially instructed not to speak the name
again in their house. I didnt know the meaning of the
words but I certainly knew what they meant.
My friends dad was from Cuba and came to the United
States in the 1960s. He loved Cuba. He loved the Unites
States, but he loved
Cuba. And he hated
Castro.
My friend said not to
worry about it but it
might be a good idea
not to mention Castro
again to her father,
who was normally very
reserved, quiet and
altogether extremely
nice and generous with
both his time and
knowledge. After all,
he introduced me to
mojo criollo.
I learned my lesson.
But there was a further
lesson to be learned from the one-sided exchange. Many
people in South Florida, where I went to college, were
of Cuban descent and hated the fact that they were essentially forced to leave the country they loved because of
the communist rule of the dictator they believed forever
ruined their prosperous and beautiful homeland.
I wonder what my friends dad thinks of the announcement Wednesday that the United States and Cuba are
renewing diplomatic relations after 53 years. He might
be pleased, but then again, likely not. The fact of the
matter is that the island nation is still under communist
rule and is suffering from falling fortunes due to its prior
alliances and those ever-shrinking number of nations
reliance on the oil trade. And while some tout Cubas
independence even in relative isolation, it is sad to
think of what a thriving nation it could have been without its five decades of frozen contact with much of the
rest of the world.
While the announcement is merely the first step, it is
a big one. Many likely felt it would never happen under
a regime led by either Fidel or Raul. And many may feel
this is a step that should not have been taken with
either Castro. After all, the United States would likely
have more leverage with a new regime rather than have
this now open door already established. But it is obviously a step done under a certain amount of duress
because of crumbling economic conditions in both Cuba
and with its allies. And we should keep in mind that
whatever fortune flows to Cuba will not go to its people
but rather its dictatorial regime thats how communism has worked in practice.
It is also yet to be seen if the secret diplomacy of the
Obama administration and the State Department with
once rogue nations will yield anything of value or
rather just put us at a disadvantage while our allies wonder where their attention is. It is too soon to know for
sure.
But there is hope that the people of Cuba may see the
benefit of opening up to the world and maybe, just
maybe, there might be a chance for Cubans who came to
the United States under the worst of terms to return
home to the land they once loved.

Perennial congressional candidate Mike Moloney died
Sunday. Mike was an interesting character who could
often be seen strolling around downtown San Mateo
with his Serra High School ball cap firmly affixed to the
top of his head.
I first met Mike when he was running for Congress
against incumbent Tom Lantos. He ran as a Republican,
but he was far from it. He was concerned about the war in
the Middle East and didnt pull any punches on his
views.
He tapered off in recent years but would sometimes
send notes and leave voice mails with his thoughts. He
was sometimes out there, but definitely well researched
and passionate. Rest in peace Mike Moloney.

Hellmans maker Unilever
drops suit over Just Mayo
Hellmans mayonnaise maker Unilever has withdrawn its
lawsuit against the maker of Just Mayo.
Unilever filed suit against Hampton Creek earlier this
year claiming the name of the small California companys
product amounted to false advertising.
The consumer-products giant, whose U.S. arm is based in
Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey, had said that Just Mayo
has no eggs and therefore doesnt meet the definition of
mayonnaise. It argued that the word mayo implies that the
product is mayonnaise, and that Hampton Creek was stealing market share from Hellmans.
Hampton Creek has said that it marketed its product as
mayo rather than mayonnaise specifically to meet labeling regulations.
Unilever said Thursday that it decided to withdraw the lawsuit so that Hampton Creek can address its label directly
with industry groups and regulatory authorities.
Hampton Creek has had positive conversations with
industry groups and government officials, said the San
Francisco-based companys CEO, Josh Tetrick. He said that
Hampton Creek may make the word just larger on the label
but has no plans to change the products name or its labeling.
Just Mayos label states that it doesnt contain eggs. The
label features a white egg with a plant growing in front,
which Tetrick has said is the companys way of showing
that they use plants instead of chicken eggs.
Unilever, which also sells the Best Foods brand, holds the
biggest share of the U.S. mayonnaise market, estimated to
be worth $2 billion annually, according to market-research
firm Euromonitor.

OAKLAND Stephen Curry had 34
points and nine assists, and the Golden
State Warriors rallied from an early 17point deficit to beat Oklahoma City 114109 on Thursday night after Thunder star
Kevin Durant left with a sprained right
ankle.
Durant scored a season-high 30 points on
10-for-13 shooting in a spectacular first
half that ended with him stepping on
Marreese Speights foot. The Thunder said
Durant had a mild ankle sprain, and the
NBA MVP did not return.
Oklahoma City had won seven straight
games, which was the longest active streak
in the league after Memphis snapped
Golden States 16-game winning streak
Tuesday night.
Curry added seven rebounds, and Klay
Thompson scored 19 points for the
Warriors, who played without injured center
Andrew Bogut (right knee) and forward
David Lee (left hamstring) again.
Russell Westbrook led the Thunder with
33 points.
Westbrook and Curry traded go-ahead
shots in the final minutes until the Warriors
put together the deciding run.
Curry hit a pull-up jumper, Draymond
Green followed with a putback and Curry
connected on a short running shot to give
Golden State a 110-105 lead with 1:39
remaining.
Reggie Jackson made a layup after a timeout, and Curry came back with a finger roll
down the lane. The teams traded scores one
more time before Harrison Barnes fadeaway with 17.3 seconds left put the game
out of reach.
Green finished with 16 points, nine
rebounds and nine assists, and Barnes had
12 points and seven rebounds.

MLB brief
Padres, Dodgers finalize Kemp trade
SAN DIEGO The Padres have finalized a five-player
trade with the Los Angeles Dodgers that sends slugger
Matt Kemp and $32 million to San Diego in exchange for
catcher Yasmani Grandal.
The teams agreed to the deal last week but didnt finalize
it until Thursday.
There was no explanation for the holdup, although the
Padres, desperate to pump up the worst offense in the
majors, reportedly had concerns about Kemps physical.
San Diego also gets catcher Tim Federowicz. The
Dodgers also receive right-handed pitchers Joe Wieland
and Zach Eflin.
The Padres are waiting to finalize an 11-player, threeteam trade that will bring them outfielder Wil Myers, the
2013 AL Rookie of the Year, from Tampa Bay.
WARRIORS
Continued from page 11
opened with an offensive outpouring and never relented
over 48 minutes.
Durant made his first six shots, including three 3pointers, and scored 16 points in the first 6 minutes. The
Thunder went ahead by 17 but led 40-32 at the end of the
first quarter.
It was the most points the Warriors had allowed in any
quarter this season.
Curry came roaring back in the second, hitting one
spectacular shot after another, seemingly controlling the
crowds oohs and aahs on his fingertips.
The Warriors led 65-63 at halftime, which took its toll
on both stars. Durant and Curry each limped to the locker room after twisting their ankles in the final minute,
though Currys problem was short-lived.
Durant was called for a charge after stepping on
Speights foot and falling to the floor. He lay on the
ground in pain before walking to the bench with the help
of teammates Westbrook and Serge Ibaka.
CSM
Continued from page 11
Warner said the teams slide doesnt have to do with talent.
Its been more about nding out how best to use that talent.
Oh, and of course, a lack of execution.
We have a lot of versatile players. Theyve all been
starters (in high school). Theyve all been leading scorers,
Warner said. We knew in a lot of these games we were looking for a lineup. Because we are so versatile, (we have to
decide) what we can be good at quickly and what is going to
take time to develop.
Were taking a longer time to develop (those other
areas).
Sophomore guard McKenna Hilton has been the Bulldogs
best player this season, leading the team in scoring at 14.6
points per game and second in rebounds with 5.9.
Sophomore forward Julianne Llacer and sophomore center
Liane Whipple gives CSM a potent from line. The two combine for 15 points and 11 rebounds per contest.
Reedley comes into the tournament with a 7-6 mark, but
are coming off a 57-54 loss to Skyline Saturday, but are 7-3
in its last 10 games.

I dont know what to compare it to
because Ive never been involved in a project thats gone on for so long or been such a

Bros. responsible for releasing The
Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings films
over the past 13 years.
The marketing campaign for The Hobbit:
The Battle of the Five Armies promises
moviegoers one last trip to Middle-earth
when it debuts in wide release Wednesday.
Will it really be the final outing for all those
dwarfs, elves, hobbits and orcs? After all,
The Hobbit was originally envisioned as
two, not three films.
I wish I could say differently, said
Emmerich. There is nothing at New Line or

dered Tolkiens splendid creation with love.
Sadly, all of that was true after Jacksons
Lord of the Rings trilogy. The subsequent
Hobbit trio, which is now finally sputtering to an end with The Battle of the Five
Armies, will inevitably go down as an
unneeded, unloved gratuity, a trilogy, like
the second Star Wars run, to write off as
overkill.
The magic, fleeting to start with, is mostly gone. The Hobbit might have been a
nice little prequel add-on to The Lord of the
Rings, but by dividing it into three movies,
Jackson and company have drained the
WEEKEND JOURNAL
WEEKEND JOURNAL
LONDON After a long and eventful journey, The Hobbit trilogy has reached its
bloody climax.
Not a minute too soon for director Peter
Jackson, who has been longing to unleash
mayhem on Middle-earth.
Its the first time weve got to kill
dwarves, said the director, his enthusiasm for
death and destruction at odds with his laidback manner and luxurious surroundings in a
London hotel suite.
Its hard to get any emotional power in a
film unless you are able to actually kill some
of your main characters, he said. Weve
been hampered with that in the first two
Hobbit movies. But at least we have a good
dwarf death toll in the third one.
The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five
Armies wraps up the trilogy spun from
J.R.R. Tolkiens slim book about home-loving hobbit Bilbo Baggins, coaxed away from
his burrow to help a band of dwarves retake
their mountain home from a destructive dragon.
The third film sees the dragon dispatched
before a cataclysmic clash involving armies
of dwarves, elves, humans, eagles and dastardly orcs.
Its a CGI extravaganza, with all the visual
overkill that 3-D and 48-frames-per-second
filming can provide. But Jackson says this
film was the most emotionally satisfying of
the three. (Its also the shortest, at a relatively brisk 144 minutes). For one thing, while
the first two movies charted a journey, this
one largely stays put, at the Lonely Mountain
of Erebor.
It was a joy not to have to do any big helicopter shots of people walking across New
Zealand landscapes, Jackson said
although the countrys tourist authorities may
disagree. Tolkien tourism has become a big
draw for the small nation.

poses with his
daughter Katie
Jackson.
The thing that I like about this one, probably more than anything even more than
killing dwarves is that its got this feeling
of a thriller about it, Jackson said. I enjoyed
being able to be sharper and crank the tension
up and up and up and up until the battle breaks
out.
His enthusiasm is shared by Martin
Freeman, who plays reluctant hero Bilbo. The
film brings a peril-strewn emotional climax
to the hobbits complicated friendship with
dwarf leader Thorin Oakenshield (Richard
Armitage)
I always like dark tones anyway, said
Freeman, who recently took a break from
playing dependable Dr. Watson in Sherlock
to star as morally compromised insurance
salesman Lester Nygaard in the TV series
Fargo.
I like playing light and I like playing
comedy, but my natural inclination is very
often not toward that. ... I like stretching out.
I kind of feel very fulfilled when acting not
happy.
Battle of the Five Armies completes a
Tolkien saga that includes Jacksons three
Lord of the Rings films. The director says
the darkening mood of the Hobbit films was
a deliberate attempt to segue into the more
grown-up world of The Lord of the Rings,
set decades later.
Ultimately these movies will be judged in
decades to come as a six-film series that will
start with the first Hobbit film and finish
with (final Rings movie) The Return of the
King, Jackson said.
If wed made The Hobbit first wed probably have made it much more like a young childrens story, which is how the books written.
Jackson has spent a decade and a half in
Middle-earth, and says it certainly feels like
its time to move on to other things. He has
one more bit of Hobbit business to complete, an extended cut of the new movie with
about half an hour of extra material.
