Oversight commission suggests Harbor District dissolve


Local Agency Formation Commission releases draft report recommending county takeover
By Samantha Weigel
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF

Already struggling to find a


permanent leader with accusations of misconduct afoot, the
tumultuous path of the San Mateo
County Harbor District was dealt
another blow Friday as a county
oversight agency recommended

the group be dissolved.


The Local Agency Formation
Commission, or LAFCo, released
a draft report recommending the
county absorb the special districts duties after a scathing civil
grand jury report entitled Whats
the Price of Dysfunction? came to
the same conclusion last year.
Using county property taxes to

support commercial enterprise


activity, inappropriate interactions between commissioners and
staff, as well as less than adequate
accounting practices were cited in
the report as justification for
LAFCo to continue its now 38year standing recommendation to
disband the district.
Yet supporters argue the dis-

tricts expertise cant be recreated


by the county and that a change in
leadership through two new commissioners and an interim general
manager will steer the agency
toward a brighter future, if given
time.
Regardless, the draft report may
offer little weight if a successor
agency doesnt agree to take over

with the county Board of


Supervisors, a city or large number of voters initiating dissolution proceedings.
The districts main responsibilities include owning Pillar Point
Harbor in Half Moon Bay and
managing

Students showcase skills for scholarship

Jessica Fry started dancing when


she was 3 years old, and hasnt
stopped since.
The Menlo Park native said her
passion for dance initially served
as an opportunity to channel some
of her young, kinetic energy in a
constructive fashion, but soon
found the art only ramped up her
enthusiasm.
Dancing just gave me more
energy, she said.

Fry, now a high school senior at


Menlo School in Atherton, is hoping to use her zealousness to
swing a $10,000 scholarship from
San Franciscos most prestigious
performance satire show, which
she will use to hone her craft at
Stanford University next year.
She is joined by two other San
Mateo County high school seniors, Gabrielle Filloux of Redwood
City and Nicole Koh of Daly City,
who have been selected as finalists to win the Beach Blanket
Babylon arts scholarship.

The three will perform in front


of a panel of expert judges
Monday, June 1, at Club Fugazi
with hopes to earn a portion of the
$30, 000 worth of scholarship
money that will be divided equally
between the students who win the
final singing, dancing and acting
competitions.
Im really excited to be able to
perform, said Fry. And Im very
honored to be considered a finalist.

Building a new community center, improving the library, beautifying city parks and fixing aging
infrastructure are among the needs
identified by San Bruno residents
who have offered suggestions
regarding how to spend a portion
of the nearly $70 million in restitution funds paid by PG&E in the
wake of the 2010 gas pipeline
explosion.
The suggestions came through a
public outreach campaign held by
the San Bruno Community
Foundation, which is the group
charged with deciding how to best
allocate the $68.75 million grant-

ed to serve the long-term benefit


of the city.
Members of the foundations
Board of Directors will consider
the opinions of residents who
expressed interest in channeling
the money toward developing lasting improvements in San Bruno,
prior to making a decision regarding a spending plan for the fund
granted by Pacific Gas and Electric
after the tragedy that killed eight
people and injured 66.
Nearly 100 San Bruno residents
and officials turned out to Belle Air
Elementary School on Thursday,
May 28, to participate in the conversation about how the fund

Fuel and potential fires for


the U.S. economys future
By Martin Crutsinger
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON The U. S.
economy should get better after a
sputtering first quarter, but how
much better? Its complicated.
Steady hiring and low gas prices
should help power solid growth
through the rest of 2015. The
harsh winter and a labor dispute
that slowed trade at West Coast
ports are both over. Home sales
and construction are rebounding,

along with business investment.


But risks remain: A stronger dollar will likely continue to keep the
trade deficit wide. And further cutbacks in oil drilling could depress
spending in the energy industry.
Here are three reasons the economy is likely to post solid grow
this year, followed by three reasons growth might disappoint.
While the overall economy went
into reverse, the labor market has

Fuel theft charges reduced


Felonies dismissed against former Caltrans worker, not guilty plea for misdemeanors
By Daniel Montes
BAY CITY NEWS SERVICE

A judge dismissed felony charges on


Thursday against a former Caltrans employee who was caught on camera stealing gas
from a Caltrans fuel pump in 2014.
Joseph Torres, 26, of Menlo Park, pleaded
not guilty to the amended complaint of five
misdemeanor counts of embezzlement of
public funds, according to prosecutors.
Torres, along with another former
Caltrans employee, Mohammed Sirker, 57,
of Daly City, is charged with stealing a total
of $4,400 worth of fuel from the companys
fuel pumps between May 14 and June 30 of
2014, prosecutors said.
Sirker pleaded no contest to embezzle-

Comment on
or share this story at
www.smdailyjournal.com
ment on Feb. 25 on the condition of no
prison time and that his charge would be
reduced to a misdemeanor, prosecutors said.
Sirker was given two years probation on
condition of 32 days county jail and ordered
to pay fines and restitution.
The embezzlement came to light when a
Caltrans supervisor noticed discrepancies
in the fuel log in June 2014 and found suspicious entries going back to December
2013.
To catch the fuel thief, Caltrans set up a

hidden camera near the agencys fuel pump.


Prosecutors said Sirker was caught on
camera fueling his personal vehicle at
Caltrans fuel pumps five times and on one
occasion drove a Caltrans work truck to his
home without authorization.
Torres allegedly was caught on camera
twice fueling his personal car at Caltrans
fuel pumps, on another occasion fueling a
Toyota that did not belong to him, and
another time helping three other people fill
up their cars, prosecutors said.
Torres is currently out on $35,000 bail
bond.
His case is set for a pretrial conference on
July 29 and for jury trial on Aug. 24.
Torres attorney was not immediately
available for comment.

Man gets 39 years prison for child rape


DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT

A South San Francisco man convicting of


raping one of his girlfriends relatives since
the age of 5 and having inappropriate relations with two others was sentenced to 39
years to life in prison Friday.
Kyle Clifton Vogt, 39, must serve at least
33 years before he can be considered for
parole after a jury found him guilty of 11
felonies that include rape, continuous sexual abuse of a child, sending harmful sexual
matter to a minor, six counts of lewd acts
with a minor under 14 and two counts of
lewd acts with a minor over 14 by someone
more than 10 years older, according to the
District Attorneys Office.
Vogt will likely file an appeal as his
fo rmer t ri al at t o rn ey di d n o t p ro v i de
effective counsel, said Matt Sullivan, an
attorney who began representing Vogt

Kyle Vogt

after he was convicted.


After listening to several harsh comments
about Vogt during his
sentencing
hearing
Friday,
San
Mateo
County Superior Court
Judge Leland Davis issued
the firm order and denied
probation, according to
District Attorney Steve

Wagstaffe.
An evil sexual predator now faces the rest
of his life behind bars and the community is
safer with him locked up, Wagstaffe wrote
in an email.
After a two-week trial, Vogt was convicted
in April 2014 for raping one of his girlfriends half-sisters for eight years starting
in 2002. The girl disclosed to her mother
when she was 13 and further investigation

revealed he had inappropriate contact with


the victims sister and a neighbor girl,
according to prosecutors. Those two girls
were over 14 years old when Vogt sent inappropriate texts as well as kissed and groped
them, according to prosecutors.
Sullivan said his client, a military veteran, was prejudiced by an ineffective counsel
who failed to call for a computer as well as
psychological experts during trial and was
disappointed his motion for a new trial was
denied in March.
Like the judge said, this is a sad case for
both families, Sullivan said.

Edward Aguirre, former United States Commissioner of Education


appointed by President Gerald R. Ford and conrmed by the U.S. Senate,
passed away in his sleep on May 25, following a combination of health
reversals. He is survived by his son John, his wife Cherry, his daughterin-law Linda, and his grandchildren Jennifer and Kimberly Aguirre,
Adam, Peter and Caitlyn Owens. He was preceded in death by his wife
Nee Deluvina Maldonado, mother of their children. His daughter, Diana
Aguirre Owens passed away before him. He survived all of his six siblings.
Dr. Aguirre was born in Globe, Arizona on 9/14/1929 to Louis and Concepcion Chavez Aguirre.
He received his Doctorate in Education from Arizona State University in Tempe, Arizona. He joined
the faculty of San Diego State University in 1963. While there, he was recognized by the Greater
San Diego County Industry-Education Council for his contributions to Industrial Education and
was selected as Man of the Year in 1968 by the San Diego County Central Labor Council.
At a time when doors were not often opened to Hispanic Americans, Dr. Aguirre was recruited
into the federal government in 1969. Secretary of Labor, James J. Hodgson chose Dr. Aguirre to
work for the Department of Labor. He was later chosen for the Department of Health, Education
and Welfare largely due to his active participation in community and governmental organizations.
He served as Deputy Associate Manpower Administrator and Regional Director in the Labor
Departments Region IX through 1973. He was appointed by the President as the Chairman of
the Western Federal Regional Council to coordinate inter-agency activities with the Departments
of Housing and Urban Development, Health Education and Welfare, Transportation, the
Environmental Protection Agency, the Ofce of Economic Opportunity and the Law Enforcement
Assistance Administration.
In 1973, Dr. Aguirre was selected as Regional Commissioner of the U.S. Ofce of Education
for Region IX. In 1976, he was selected by President Ford and conrmed by the United States
Senate to be the U.S. Commissioner of Education. Highly committed to advances in technology,
Dr. Aguirre was a pioneer in increasing the coordination and efciency of his operations through
breakthroughs in the emerging computer sciences. He strove to quantify results and correlate
them to cost. Dr. Aguirre served as a Lieutenant in the United States Air Force. Because of his
knowledge of State and community leaders, he served on several Presidential Transition teams.
Dr. Aguirre was long concerned with the human resources, social and economic development of
the United States, along with Central and Latin America. He was the U.S. Agency for International
Development, consultant to the Peruvian and Venezuela National Curriculum Commissions, the
U.S. Ofce of Bilingual Education Representative to Mexico, and the U.S. Representative to the
Bolivian Ministry of Education.
In 1982, he founded Aguirre International. He assembled a multi-disciplinary group of
nationally recognized experts in accessing hard to reach and underserved populations. Their
approach combined research and academic expertise to provide policy makers data for program
development. The results from their years of study have been widely used by governmental and
non-prot organizations who are also correlating program design to results to cost effectiveness.
In 2008, he sold Aguirre International and retired to a life of golf, reading, travel and family
pursuits.
A Memorial Service will be held on Friday, 6/5/15 at 10:30 a.m. at Sneider & Sullivan & OConnells
Funeral Home, 977 S. El Camino Real in San Mateo. Reception to follow at the Aguirre residence at 512

Police Department report. Pelayo
was robbed at gunpoint of his wallet, the report adds.
Police decided to stake out the San
Leandro house that night because of
information received from a prior
kidnapping case, according to the
report. In the morning, police
watched the pair leave the house in a
car and authorities chased them. The
car crashed after a brief pursuit, and
Pelayo was found with minor
injuries in the trunk blindfolded and
with his ankles bound with rope.
The report says the two suspects
admitted to the kidnapping.

Latest proposal for ethanol


could have political fallout

Rescue personnel search the floodwaters along Brays Bayou in southwest Houston, Texas.

Another round of storms brings


more serious flooding in Texas
By Allen Reed
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DALLAS Floodwaters submerged highways and flooded homes Friday in Texas as


another round of heavy rain added to the damage inflicted by storms that have killed at
least 23 people in the U.S. and left 13 missing.
The line of thunderstorms that stalled over
Dallas dropped as much as 7 more inches
overnight. That rainfall contributed to
another death early Friday, when firefighters
in a Dallas suburb said a man drowned in his
truck after it was swept into a culvert.
Houston-area authorities recovered the bodies of two men who had been reported missing.
The body of 87-year-old Jack Alter who was
swept away when a boat attempting to rescue
him from a bayou overturned was recovered
from the Houston Ship Channel. The search
for a missing 51-year-old man was called off
Friday after the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
found a body on a southeast Texas beach on
Friday that matched his description. The
unidentified man and two others, who later
escaped, were fishing in the Brazos River
Thursday when they were caught in the currents.
The rain also seeped into homes and
stranded hundreds of drivers, many of
wh o m l i n g ered al o n g h i g h way s t h at
were nearly gridlocked from the high

water and abandoned vehicles.


Fire rescue crews responded to about 260
calls that included trapped vehicles and accidents, authorities said.
Exacerbating the problem for first-responders are people who have been going around
barricades to take pictures of the floodwaters,
said Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins. He
said those people are endangering themselves
and stretching thin the first responders
resources.
Floodwaters are never safe to play around,
take a picture around, walk around, Jenkins
said. We dont need any more loss of life.
Jenkins also said he is considering issuing
evacuation orders for Dallas-area neighborhoods depending on the latest flood projections.
The Colorado River in Wharton and the
Brazos and San Jacinto rivers near Houston
were the main focus of concern as floodwaters
moved from North and Central Texas downstream toward the Gulf of Mexico.
Floodwater was creeping into neighborhoods in the suburban Houston city of
Kingwood near the swollen San Jacinto
River, where residents were keeping a close
eye on water levels.
Everybodys worried about it, James
Simms said from his second-story balcony,
looking down at a flood that had reached his
garage. Those people who are going to leave
are already gone. Theres others like us who
are going to wait until its mandatory.

WASHINGTON The Obama administrations latest plan on ethanol, the corn-based


renewable fuel, probably will not have a
major effect on pump prices, but could have
political reverberations in Iowa and other
farm states in the 2016 presidential campaign.
Under the proposed rule announced Friday,
the amount of ethanol in the gasoline supply would increase in coming years, just not
as much as set out under federal law. That
approach drew criticism from ethanol and
farm groups that have pushed to keep high
volumes of ethanol in gasoline.
Democratic presidential candidate Hillary
Rodham Clinton has called for a robust
renewable fuels standard while campaigning
in Iowa, host of the leadoff presidential caucuses next year.

Paul claims new momentum


ahead of second Senate showdown
CHICAGO A confident Rand Paul
claimed new momentum Friday in his fight
against government surveillance programs, just
days ahead of his second
Capitol Hill showdown in

The Republican senator
infuriated leaders in his
own party last week by
almost single-handedly

Act. In a Friday interview between campaign stops in South Carolina, Paul said

other state, and the renewable fuel has long


been a powerful economic and political
issue.
The 2007 renewable fuels law tried to
address global warming, reduce dependence
on foreign oil and bolster the rural economy
by requiring a steady increase in the overall
amount of renewable fuels such as ethanolblended into gasoline over time.
The new proposal would reduce the amount
required in the law by more than 4 billion
gallons in 2015 and by more than 3 billion
gallons next year.
The EPA said the standards set by the law
cannot be achieved, due partly to limitations on the amount of renewable fuels other
than ethanol that can be produced.
Next-generation biofuels, made from agricultural waste such as wood chips and corncobs, have not taken off as quickly as
Congress required and the administration
expected. Also, there has been less gasoline
use than predicted, the EPA said.

U.S. nears deal on extending
ex-Gitmo inmates travel ban
WASHINGTON The Obama administration is closing in on an agreement with
Qatar to extend travel bans for five senior
Taliban leaders released last year from the

A deal now being negotiated with Qatar
would see the restrictions that expire
Monday extended for another six months,
the officials said.
If the talks are successful, the agreement
could be announced over the weekend,
according to the officials who spoke on
condition of anonymity because they were

NEW YORK Stocks sank Friday


following news that the U.S. economy
shrank in the first three months of the
year.
The revised data showed that gross
domestic product contracted 0.7 percent
in the first quarter. That was worse than
the governments initial estimate of
growth of 0.2 percent.
The Dow Jones industrial average lost
115.44 points, or 0.6 percent, to
18,010.68. The Standard & Poors 500
index lost 13.40 points, or 0.6 percent,

All three indexes ended the week
lower. It was the first weekly loss for the
S&P 500 following three weeks of

Investors had two other disappointing pieces of economic news to work
through. A Chicago manufacturing survey fell to 46.2, well below the 53 that
economists were anticipating, and a

With it being a Friday and the uncertainty around the Greece situation and
the disappointing economic data, naturally investors are taking some of their
positions off the table, said JJ
Kinahan, a strategist at TDAmeritrade.
Christine Lagarde, the head of the
International Monetary Fund, said a
Greek exit from the euro remains a possibility, while German Finance
Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble also
appeared cautious in comments following the end of a meeting of top finance
officials in Berlin. Without a deal to
receive its remaining bailout cash
soon, Greece faces the grim possibilities of defaulting on its debt or ditching
the euro. Figures from the European
Central Bank showing Greek bank
deposits are at their lowest in more than
a decade only added to the prevailing
gloom.
Among individual stocks, shares of
Humana rose $36.24, or 20 percent, to

$214.65 after The Wall Street Journal


reported that the health insurance company has hired investment bankers to
potentially sell the company.
GameStop rose $2.49, or 6 percent,
to $43.41. The video game retailer posted results that exceeded analysts estimates, helped by the sale of recently
released video game titles.
In energy, the price of oil rose nearly
5 percent Friday on an increase in
demand and a surprisingly large decline
in the number of rigs drilling for oil in
the U.S. Benchmark U.S. crude rose

In other futures trading on the

High-yield bond funds: Love them or leave them?


By Stan Choe
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK Dont know what to make


of the junk-bond market? Join the club.
One month, dollars are flooding into
junk-bond mutual funds and exchange-traded
funds. The next, dollars are pouring out the
opposite direction. Consternation is nothing new for this part of the market: Junk
bonds are essentially loans made to companies with poor credit ratings, and they have
to offer relatively big yields to attract
investors. But skittishness has been particularly high, with $9.3 billion fleeing junkbond funds in December only for $9.6 billion to go right back in two months later.
Since then, flows have continued to be
erratic into and out of junk-bond funds,

which are also called high-yield bond funds,


and several factors worry investors. The
biggest is the threat of rising interest rates,
which would knock down the price of all
kinds of bonds. Last years plummet in the
price of crude was also a big scare because
oil producers make up a big part of the highyield market. In addition, skeptics are warning about the high number of tourists in
junk- bond funds. These are investors who
would otherwise put their money in investment-grade bonds but are desperate for
higher yields, and they could quickly abandon junk bonds en masse.
Even with all the jitters, junk bonds have
produced better returns this year than most
other parts of the bond market. The average
high-yield bond mutual fund has posted a
return of 3.7 percent, versus 1 percent for

intermediate-term bond funds, the largest


bond-fund category by assets. If interest
rates continue to rise gradually and if the
economy avoids a recession -- and granted,
those are significant ifs -- many strategists
say junk bonds can continue to outperform
the rest of the bond market.
Right now, youre getting paid for the
risk of owning high-yield debt, says Jim
Kochan, chief fixed-income strategist for
Wells Fargo Funds Management. That hasnt always been the case, he says, citing
periods when junk-bond yields werent high
enough to make up for their riskiness, such
as before the Great Recession and last summer. If the high-yield market gets too
expensive, like it was in 2007 and in June
of 2014, its due for a correction. But its
not that expensive now.

U.S. consumer sentiment drops in May


By Paul Wiseman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON A weak U.S. economy


pulled down consumer sentiment in May.
The University of Michigan says its
index of consumer sentiment dropped to
90.7 from 95.9 in April.
The May reading was the lowest since
November.
Consumers of all ages and income levels
were gloomier this month. And they were
less confident both about current economic
conditions and the future. But Richard
Curtin, chief economist of the surveys,
noted that the index has averaged 94.6 the

first five months of 2015, highest since


2004.
On Tuesday, the Conference Board, a business group, reported that its measure of consumer spirits showed modest improvement
in May. Its consumer confidence index rose
to 95.4 from 94.3 in April. The Conference
Board credited an improved job market:
Employers added a healthy 223,000 jobs in
March, up from an unimpressive 85,000 in
March. And unemployment tumbled to 5.4
percent last month, lowest since May 2008.
Still, consumers have reasons to be cautious about the economy and their own
financial wellbeing.
The Commerce Department reported

Friday that the U.S. economy fell at a 0.7


percent annual pace the first three months
of the year, hurt by severe winter weather
and a widening trade deficit. And gasoline
prices have been rising after hitting a low of
$2.03 a gallon in late January. Prices at the
pump are up to $2.74 a gallon from $2.56 a
gallon a month ago, according to AAA.
The Michigan index still stands well
above May 2014s 81.9. Despite the May
dip, most economists say consumers mood
remains consistent with healthy spending.
We continue to look for a pickup in consumption over the next two months,
Barclays Research economist Jesse Hurwitz
wrote in a research note.

NEW YORK A San Francisco man who


created the online drug-selling site Silk
Road was sentenced Friday to life in prison
by a judge who cited six deaths that resulted
from drugs bought on his website and five
people he tried to have killed.
U.S. District Judge Katherine Forrest told
31-year-old Ross Ulbricht that he was a
criminal even though he doesnt fit the typical profile he has two collegiate degrees
and she brushed aside his attempt to characterize the business as a big mistake.

It was a carefully planned lifes work. It


was your opus, she said. You are no better
a person than any other drug dealer.
Forrest said the sentence was necessary to
show others who might follow his path that
there are very serious consequences. She
also ordered $183 million forfeiture.
Prosecutors had not asked for a life sentence, saying only they wanted a prison
term substantially longer than the 20-year
mandatory minimum.
Ulbricht was convicted in February of
operating the site for nearly three years
from 2011 until his 2013 arrest.
Prosecutors say he collected $18 million

Silk Road founder gets life for creating online drug site
By Larry Neumeister and Jake Pearson

To judge whether junk bonds are expensive, one factor to consider is how much
more interest they pay over high-quality
bonds. Yields for junk bonds are generally
around 6 percent today. Thats not as much
as they have been historically, but strategists say theyre still comfortably above
what high-quality bonds are paying. The
10-year Treasury note has a yield of 2.10
percent.
Because of that cushion, Kochan and others say high-yield bonds can better withstand a gradual rise in interest rates. Its a
key question because the Federal Reserve is
expected to raise its benchmark short-term
interest rate from its record low later this
year. Rising rates drag down prices of bonds
that have already been issued because their
yields suddenly look less attractive.

finals by first beating Palma 1-0 in 10
innings. In the quarterfinals, the Gators rallied from a 5-0 deficit to beat Burlingame

the Gators pulled out another 1-0 win over
Monterey.
Carmel (23-7) buried its first two CCS
opponents, beating No. 10 Scotts Valley 133 in the first round and No. 15 Mills 14-4 in
the quarterfinals. The Padres led Aragon 3-0 in
the semifinals Tuesday before the Dons rallied
to tie the game at 3, only to see Carmel walk
off with the win in the bottom of the seventh.
The Padres have a long history in CCS,
compiling a record of 55-26 and winning
back-to-back titles in 2006 and 2007.
Despite Carmels pedigree, Granato and the
Gators arent really concerned about the
Padres. Its not a sign of disrespect, its just

Golden State guard Klay Thompson, who was kneed in the head late in the warriors Game 5 win over Houston Wednesday, was diagnosed
with a concussion Friday. His status for the NBA Finals against Cleveland is up in the air.

Klay down, is he out?


Warriors guard diagnosed with concussion; availability for finals in question
By Antonio Gonzalez
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

OAKLAND The initial hit caused Klay


Thompson plenty of pain. The final diagnosis delivered another blow to him and the
Golden State Warriors as they prepare for
the NBA Finals.
Two days after he got kneed in the head by
Houstons Trevor Ariza, the Warriors said
Friday that Thompson has a concussion and
will not return to practice until he is symptom free.
The All-Star guard went through neurological tests that confirmed the concussion. He

was injured in the fourth quarter of Golden


States 104-90 win over the Rockets in the
Western Conference finals clincher
Wednesday night.
The NBA Finals start Thursday against
Cleveland. And while the Warriors are optimistic Thompson will be cleared before
then, he must pass through the leagues concussion protocol first.
This break has turned out to be good for
us, Warriors coach Steve Kerr said after
Fridays practice. And maybe good for
Cleveland, too, because theyve got some
injuries. Its just something weve got to
work through and well see how it goes.
Cavaliers guard Kyrie Irving has been

slowed by knee tendinitis and a sore foot,


and four-time NBA MVP LeBron James has
been banged up as well.
But neither of those injuries seems as serious as the one the Warriors are facing now.
Thompson was at the teams facility
Friday but did not participate in the workout. The Warriors will practice again
Saturday and take Sunday off.
Kerr said hes not concerned about
Thompson staying sharp.
Klay picks up his rhythm very quickly,
Kerr said.
Its unclear how long Thompson could be

AUSTIN, Texas Texas lawmakers voted


Friday to dismantle the states high school
steroids testing program after eight years
and more than $10 million spent collecting
thousands of samples that turned up only a
handful of cheaters.
Once lauded as a model for the nation, the
program instead turned into a target for critics who called it an ineffective waste of
money. Several lawmakers defended it
Friday as an effective deterrent against
steroid use, but said it was no longer needed.
We spent a lot of money. We raised awareness. We saved lives, said Rep. Dan Flynn,
a Republican who helped write the original
testing law in 2007.
Fridays vote stripped all money for the
testing program out of the next state budget,
which was sent to Gov. Greg Abbott to sign
into law.
Texas started the program in response to
fears that performance-enhancing drug use
in professional sports was rapidly growing
among teenagers in a state where the love of
high school football is second to none.
Texas initially created a massive program
that sent testers swarming across the state
to randomly collect urine samples from high
school athletes in all sports.
The first 30,000 tests produced just 11
positive results of steroid use. Few saw
those numbers as good news of clean athletes or even as proof the program could be
a successful deterrent. Most saw it as fodder
for critics that the state was wasting money.
Lawmakers have been scaling down the
program ever since. By 2013, its budget had
been cut from $3 million per year to
$500,000. Soon, Illinois and New Jersey
will be the only states with testing programs.
The move was expected. Lt. Gov. David
Dewhurst championed the program from its
start and kept it afloat in recent years, but he
lost a bid for re-election in 2014. A special

Ounadjela, Serra relay team win CCS titles Tampa will


A dozen athletes from San Mateo County qualify for state meet
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT

Carlmonts Johain Ounadjela and the


Serra 4x400 relay team each won a Central
Coast Section championship at the CCS
track and eld nals at San Jose City
College Friday night.
Ounadjela was one of nine county athletes
to qualify for the state track meet beginning
next week, while the Serra quartet was the
only relay team to qualify. The top three nishers in all events at the CCS championships qualify for the state meet.
The Serra relay team comprised of
Noriega Moffett, Armon Plummer, Marcus
Alvarez and Jeremiah Testa came in as the
fastest qualier with a time of 3:23.62. It
shaved three seconds off that mark to claim
the title with a new school record time of
4:20.75.
Ounadjela, who was the second-fastest
qualier in the 1,600, won the CCS title by
more than a second with a time of 4:14.03.
King Citys Edgar Bonilla was second in
4:15.06. Mills Samir Habash nished 10th
with a time of 4:24.33.
The boys high jump saw Burlingames
Jack Phillips nished third with a height of
6 feet, 7 inches. Phillips went into the
nals as the fourth qualier, where he nished with a height of 6-4. He needed a jump
off to beat Christophers Cody Oberlander,
who also hit the 6-7 height. Phillips did it
in less attempts, however, to clinch a spot
in the state track meet.
St. Francis Darius Thomas took home
gold with a leap of 6-9. Darius Carbin of
Mt. Pleasant was second with a mark of 6-7.
Sequoias Eduardo Barrera, who came into
the 400 nal with the fourth-fastest qualifying time of 50.44, moved up one spot in the
nals to claim a berth in the state meet with
a time of 49.61. Sharaee Harrison of San
Benito captured the championship with a
time of 48.58.
Menlo-Athertons Adam Scandlyn qualied for the state meet in the 800, nishing
second in a time of 1:55.92, just ve-one
hundredth of a second behind winner Draven
Hawk, who nished with a time of 1:55.87.
Sacred Heart Preps Mack Garrett was ninth
with a time of 2:00.55.
Menlo Schools Elizabeth Lacy nished
second in the 3,200 to qualify for the state
meet. It was a two-person race with Santa
Cruzs Cate Ratliff, who edged Lacy
10:27.10 to 10:27.71. Both were nearly 20
seconds faster than the third-place nisher.
In the girls shot put nals, Westmoors
Saka Tagoai, who was the third-best quali-

er with a throw of 40 feet, quarter inch, nished in third place in the nals to qualify

Sacred Heart Prep nished ninth with a toss
of 34-1. The story of the girls shot put
nal, however, was Valley Christians Elena
Bruckner, whose winning throw of 53-5 1/2
was the 10th-best effort in the nation by a
high school thrower this season.
Bruckners teammate, Ronna Stone, was
more than 10 feet behind Bruckner in second place.
The county was well represented in the
boys triple jump. Serras Jordan Kenison
and Alvarez went 2-3 to qualify for state.
Kenison jumped 46-4 1/4, just under a foot
behind Darius Carbins mark of 47-4.

Nicholas Montalbano was sixth with a

second behind the third-place nisher.

Mills Gibbs had a better showing in the
discus, nishing fourth with a mark of 12506. Stone took home the title with a throw
of 155-7, better than Bruckners 141-11.
In the boys discus, Sequoias Eddie Tatola

play for the


Stanley Cup
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK The Tampa Bay Lightning


will play for the Stanley Cup, winning their
third straight game at Madison Square
Garden 2-0 on Friday night to beat the New
York Rangers in the Eastern Conference
finals in seven games.
Ben Bishop, pulled from a Game 6 loss
after allowing five goals, outplayed Henrik
Lundqvist in handing New York its first loss
ever in a Game 7 at the Garden. Alex Killorn
scored early in the third period and Ondrej
Palat iced it.
The Lightning, who won the Cup in 2004
in their only trip to the finals, will play
Chicago or Anaheim for the championship.
The Blackhawks are at the Ducks on
Saturday night in the Western Conferences
decisive game.
New York had the leagues best record this
season and was 15-3 in its last 18 elimination games. The most recent defeat was in
the fifth game of the Cup finals last year at
Los Angeles. But Bishop made sure there
would be another loss for the Rangers,
extending his shutout string at the Garden to
145 minutes, 43 seconds.
Bishops teammates stormed off the
bench to mob him after his 22nd save of the
night. The crowd chanted Hen-rik! Henrik! as both teams lined up to shake hands,
and Lundqvist looked stunned as well as
downhearted as he took part in the tradition.
Killorns seventh goal of the postseason
came on a backhander from the slot with
traffic in front of Lundqvist, who didnt
appear to see the puck skitter in to the
crease, then under him into the net.
Then it was left to Bishop to protect the
slim margin. On one sequence with the lead
still one goal, four Rangers were in front
trying to locate a loose puck, but Bishop
didnt yield.
Palat finished it with his seventh of the
playoffs, a wrist shot over Lundqvists
glove off a nice feed from Tyler Johnson.
Tampa is 9-0 scoring the first goal of these
playoffs.
The Lightning then collected the hardware
for winning the East, the Prince of Wales
Trophy, and set their sights on the bigger
hardware: the Stanley Cup.
The finals will begin Wednesday night.

Posey keys Giants move into first


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO Buster Posey hit a tworun homer in the first inning and drove in three,
Tim Hudson pitched seven strong innings and
the San Francisco Giants won their fifth
straight, beating the Atlanta Braves 4-2 Friday
night.
Hudson (3-4) gave up one run on five hits,
striking out four and not walking a batter as he
beat his 29th major league team. That left the
Oakland Athletics, his first team, as the only
one he has not beaten.
Mike Foltynewicz (3-2) was nearly as effective, retiring 11 in a row at one point. He gave
up the two runs on five hits, walking one and
striking out a career-high eight.
Freddie Freeman blasted his sixth homer of
the season, a solo shot that easily cleared the
center field fence in the ninth.

As makes it two in a row over Yankees


THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

OAKLAND Sonny Gray pitched eight


innings for his sixth win of the season,
Stephen Vogt drove in two runs and the
Oakland Athletics beat the New York
Yankees 6-2 on Friday night.
Gray (6-2) retired 11 straight after walking Brett Gardner to lead off the game. Brian
McCann ended the streak with a leadoff
home run in the fifth his fourth in four
games and the Yankees scored again the
sixth but managed little else against Gray
and two relievers.
It was a sharp bounce back for Gray, who
struck out five, walked two and allowed four
hits and two runs.
Brett Lawrie added a two-run home run for
the As.
Oakland entered the night with the worst
record in the American League but won for
the fifth time in seven games.
Alex Rodriguez singled in the ninth to
extend his hitting streak to 13 games for
New York.
Vogts two-run double in the third off
Yankees starter Chris Capuano (0-3) capped
a four-run inning and gave Gray all the run

support he needed.
Oaklands young right-hander, who left
his previous start after being hit in the right
ankle by a line drive, also benefited from an
unusually crisp defense behind him.
The As went into the game leading the
majors with 51 errors but made several stellar plays, including a diving stop and throw
by third baseman Lawrie to rob Chris Young
of a hit in the eighth.
Tyler Clippard retired one batter for his
sixth save.
New York has lost two straight after
sweeping Kansas City on the road.
McCann led off the fifth with his eighth
homer of the season to trim Oaklands lead
to 4-1. He joins Mike Stanley (1993) as the
only players in franchise history to hit a
home run in four consecutive games.
Brett Gardners RBI grounder in the sixth
made it 4-2.
Lawrie homered off Esmil
Rogers in the eighth.

Blatter wins re-election despite FIFA scandal


By Graham Dunbar
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ZURICH In the end, nothing could stop


Sepp Blatter.
Not a far-reaching corruption scandal. Not a
tarnished international image. Not a young
prince who gave him a stronger-than-expected challenge.
Despite the biggest crisis in FIFAs 111year history, Blatter emerged victorious once
again Friday, winning re-election as president of world soccers governing body for a
fifth term and proving he is the sports ultimate survivor.
I am now the president of everybody, the
79-year-old Blatter crowed after defeating
Prince Ali bin al-Hussein of Jordan to secure
another four years in office as one of the most

Sepp Blatter

powerful men in sports.


Blatter was declared the
victor after Prince Ali
withdrew following the
first round of secret balloting among FIFAs 209
member
federations.
Blatter won the first ballot 133-73, seven votes
short of the two-thirds
majority required for vic-

tory.
Before the start of the second round, where
a simple majority would be enough for victory, the 39-year-old prince conceded defeat. By
preventing Blatter from securing an outright
first-round triumph, Prince Ali gave Blatter a

previous iron grip on the organization has

I want to thank all of you who were brave


enough to support me, Prince Ali told the
delegates.
With FIFA in turmoil amid a pair of U.S. and
Swiss corruption investigations, Blatter had
remained defiant and refused to step down
as demanded by European soccers governing
body, UEFA.
The result of the one-vote-per-country election proved that Blatter retains the loyalty of
the many smaller countries in Africa and Asia,
a bloc that is enough to counter his critics in
Europe and elsewhere.
I like you. I like my job, Blatter said to
the assembly after receiving a mix of cheers
and jeers as he stepped to the stage for his
victory speech. I am not perfect, nobody is
perfect, but we will do a good job together I
am sure.
Then he exhorted the delegates: Together

we go! Lets go FIFA! Lets go FIFA!


The election took place two days after
seven soccer officials were arrested in dawn
raids at a luxury Zurich hotel. The U.S. Justice
Department indicted 14 people on charges of
bribery, racketeering, money-laundering and
other charges. In a separate investigation,
Swiss authorities are looking into FIFAs
awarding of the 2018 World Cup to Russia and
the 2022 tournament to Qatar. And Britains
Serious Fraud Office said Friday it is assessing material in its possession relating to
allegations of FIFA corruption.
Blatter himself was not implicated in the
U.S. indictments, but prosecutors have said
the investigations are far from over.
FIFAs big-money sponsors have also
called for change within FIFA. Visa warned it
could pull out of its contract, which is worth
at least $25 million a year through 2022.

Belichick avoids direct answers on deflated footballs


By Howard Ulman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. Coach Bill


Belichick shed little light Friday in his first
public remarks since the report was issued
on the Patriots use of deflated footballs.
He avoided direct answers to most of the
10 questions he was asked about Tom Brady,
backup quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo and
how the team was handling the fallout from
the investigation.
Brady, who is appealing his four-game
suspension, did not speak with reporters
after New Englands organized team activity.
Patriots owner Robert Kraft has accepted
the team penalty of a $1 million fine and
loss of two draft picks.
Asked if he agreed with that decision,
Belichick said, He made a statement on it

last week.
The rest of his answers
focused mostly on the
need to improve every
day and to work hard.
Asked if he was preparing to start the season
with Garoppolo as the
starter, Belichick said,
Bill Belichick Im just going day by
day
right
now.
Everybodys working hard trying to get better.
How tough was it to watch the scandal
unfold during the past month?
Were just working hard every day to
come out here and get better, coaches, players, everybody in the organization, he said.
Did the issue detract from the teams
enjoyment of its Super Bowl win over the

Seattle Seahawks?
Thats a long time ago, Belichick said.
Were on to next year.
Brady spent the workout lofting passes,
handing the ball off and waiting his turn
while other quarterbacks got theirs.
In a 243-page report issued May 6, NFL
investigator Ted Wells found that Patriots
employees violated NFL rules covering
game balls and that Brady was at least generally aware of plans to doctor the footballs
to his liking.
The following night at an appearance
before a friendly crowd at Salem State
University, Brady said he hadnt read the
report and would reserve comment. He did
say absolutely not when asked if the
investigation tainted the Super Bowl win.
On May 11, the NFL announced its punishment.

But it was business as usual on Friday on


the third and final day of OTAs this week.
Its cool being on this team and in this
atmosphere just because you wouldnt know
(about) everything going on outside when
you come in this building, safety Devin
McCourty said. Every day we come in here,
coach Belichick has a list of stuff we need to
get done in practice.
Guys are so focused on those little things
and trying to get better that we really dont
have time to focus on other stuff.
Brady took nearly every snap last season.
But he may not take any in the first four
games this year.
Were not even thinking about the first
four games, said Julian Edelman, Bradys
top receiver. Were still thinking about trying to get this offense going and learning
everyones names.

away from the court and thats the concern for the Warriors.
The NBAs concussion policy requires
players to pass a series of steps without
experiencing symptoms before they can
return. That starts with riding a stationary
bike and progresses to jogging, agility
work and non-contact team drills, according
to the league. Players must start over if they
experience any symptoms.
The protocol also requires the team physician to discuss the process with Dr. Jeffrey
Kutcher, the director of the NBAs concussion program, before a player can return.

The Gators have experienced a lot of ups
and downs this season, but appear to be peaking at the right time. They were near the top

Division standings for most of the season,
before hitting a lull over the final few weeks.

Kerr insisted he will heed the advice of the


medical staff as he always has with injuries.
I just do what the doctors say we should
do, Kerr said. Obviously, we want to be as
careful as possible and make sure our players are safe and sound and healthy. So well
follow this protocol that the league provides and well have Klay out here when hes
ready.
Team doctors initially cleared Thompson
to return to the game. He ended up not playing, and the team said he started developing
symptoms after the game, fueling questions
about the leagues concussion protocol.
Thompsons father, former NBA player
Mychal Thompson, had to drive his son
home after the game because he was feeling
ill. He said Thursday that Klay vomited a
couple of times but had been feeling better

by the hour and was confident that doctors


would clear him before the finals begin.
Thompson also needed stitches on his
right ear after the hit caused blood to spill
down the side of his head.
It was the second consecutive game the
Warriors were under scrutiny for letting an
All-Star player return after getting banged
up.
Point guard and MVP Stephen Curry got
hurt in the second quarter of Game 4 when he
jumped as Ariza was about to go up for a
shot. Ariza saw him and stopped abruptly,
causing Curry to tumble over him. Currys
head and right arm hit the court, where he
remained for several minutes.
Curry returned in the third quarter after
passing the concussion protocol. He was
diagnosed with a bruised head and a bruised

right arm but has not shown any signs of


a concussion, the team said.
Curry called it a strange coincidence and
said hes confident in the system in place.
The amount of times that thats happened, I dont think thats too prevalent in
basketball, Curry said. You kind of just go
based on how you feel, the test that they
run, and you have confidence that if they
say youre OK to go out and play. But in the
cases that I had, if you feel not yourself, you
let them know and they pull you out and
kind of reassess.
Thats why the protocol is what it is. You
go through tests, if you pass, youre able to
go back in there. You make a judgment call.
Hopefully in basketball you dont put yourself in too much danger as in other sports
where you might be taking those big hits.

ever CCS baseball title.


I really feel, at the high school level,
offense comes and goes, Granato said.
Where you really want to be consistent is in
pitching and defense. I dont really worry
about much other than [the opponents] pitching and our defense.
During the regular season, the SHP pitching
staff had a team ERA of 2.90. In the Gators
three CCS games, they have lowered their
average by nearly a full run, allowing just an
average of two runs per game with six runs
coming in one game.
Over their last six games which include
three CCS games, two PAL tournament games
and the regular-season finale the Gators are
5-1, having allowed a total of 13 runs.
Will Johnston has been at the forefront of
the Gators pitching surge, having allowed
just two runs in his last three starts, including
17 innings of scoreless ball in CCS.
Saturday, Granato will turn to freshman

Angelo Tonas, who has been the Gators No. 2


starter behind Johnston for most of the season. Tonas is 4-4 with a 4.42 ERA in 13
appearances. His ERA was bloated by a couple
of bad outings when he gave up a combined 12
earned runs in a 16-1 loss to Terra Nova and
the Gators 11-6 win over Burlingame in the
quarterfinals last Saturday. Take away those
two appearances and his ERA drops to 2.30.
The Gators are 5-0 in his last five starts.
Its his turn. There are things you have to
be accepting of. He is a freshman. He has to
learn his own way of doing things, Granato
said of Tonas. Hes still a young player, but
do I think hes good enough to go and compete at this level? Absolutely. I put him in
[this] position because I believe he is good
enough to be in that position.
And I know if Angelo has a tough going we
have another guy ready to step up.
That ability for anyone and everyone on the
team to step up and come through when their

number is called has been the Gators calling


card this season. Granato said it seems as if
everyone has had a signature moment at one
point or another this season.
In every game weve played, its been a different guy who has come through in the
clutch, Granato said. Anybody can contribute. Anybody can make an impact. It
makes everybody more comfortable.
And in an attempt to keep the team in that
comfort zone Granato and his coaching staff
have tried not to put any more focus on this
game than any other this season.
Were confident. Were excited. Were
looking forward to the opportunity. This is
just another baseball game. Weve played a lot
of games this season. Were not trying to
make it anything bigger than it really is,
Granato said. Its the last game of the season.
Were doing everything we can do to win.
Thats pretty much the approach weve taken
all year long.

inevitable, said Don Hooton, who started


the Taylor Hooton Foundation after his 17year-old sons 2003 suicide was linked to
steroid use, and was one of the key advocates in creating the Texas program.
An initial supporter, Hooton became one
the programs chief critics, complaining of
loopholes in sample collecting and concerns that it didnt test for enough different
types of steroids, creating easy ways for
students to avoid detection.

The chances of this program catching


one of our Texas high-schoolers using
steroids was somewhere between slim and
none, Hooton said.
State officials scrambled briefly Friday to
determine if cutting the money really killed
the program. The legislative session ends
Monday and lawmakers have not eliminated
the portion of state law passed in 2007 that
required testing. But key lawmakers, from
the original author to the budget architects,

said it was a minor misstep and testing will


not be required.
The legislature voted to de-fund it, so I
think the legislative intent is pretty clear,
said Sen. Jane Nelson, the Republican
chairman of the Senate budget committee.
Flynn, however, said the hiccup could
allow lawmakers to bring testing back in
the future.
If we find theres a problem again, we
could test again, Flynn said.

So far, so very good for Federer at French Open


By John Leicester
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PARIS One of Roger Federers 5-year-old


twin daughters had her nose buried in a comic
book. The other was glued to a mobile
phone. Shame, really, that they didnt look
up, because the tennis their father wove on
the French Open center court verged on art.
The canvas for Federers strokes, the backhand as smooth as a cats paw and the forehand with crackle and pop, was Damir
Dzumhur. The 23-year-old, the first Bosnian
man to play at a major tournament, idolizes
the 17-time Grand Slam champion. He had to
pinch himself as they warmed up in a chilly
breeze for their third-round match Friday.
Strange feeling, Dzumhur said later.

California beat the second-seeded
Chanticleers 9-3 on Friday in their

Jefferies (6-5) allowed three

Scott Feldman to miss about


six weeks after knee surgery
HOUSTON Houston righthander Scott Feldman is expected
to miss about six weeks after
arthroscopic surgery on his right
knee.
Feldman was placed on the 15day disabled list on Friday after
having surgery to repair a torn
medial meniscus. He was injured
fielding a ground ball in his last
start on Tuesday. Feldman, who is
in his second year in Houston, is
4-4 with a 4.80 ERA in 10 starts
this year.

much as the solid tennis that got her over the
obstacles of Stosur, a nagging cough and the
wind that fiddled with Sharapovas hair and
ball toss.
Coming to Paris, you want to be tres
chic, she said gamely.
No one asks Federer about his clothes.
Although, in this fashion capital, they
should. His pink shorts were so bright they
left lingering spots on the back of the eyes
when stared at too long.
Thankfully, his tennis was distracting. A

minutes of his time. The

Federer into the last 16 for

Although Maria Sharapova, by her own
admittance, lacks Federers artistry, the
defending womens champion was the portrait of grit against 2011 U.S. Open champion Samantha Stosur, winning 6-3, 6-4.
That puts Sharapova into the fourth round

drew an appreciative oooh from the crowd.


Even after three rounds without dropping a
set, it would be premature to froth about
Federers chances of providing a twin for his
solitary French Open title, in 2009. But he is
moving well, and not just for a 33-year-old.
Federer is too respectful of opponents to
say such a thing, but there were times against
Dzumhur where the match looked more like a
sparring session to prepare him for later,
tougher rounds. The younger Bosnian grunted from the exertion of trying to keep up;
Federer made no sound. After serving out the
first set, he wiped his brow more out of habit
than need. But his road steepens from here.
Im not always as relaxed as one might
think, Federer said. Because theres a lot to
play for.

Next step, life


By Mayeesha Galiba

igh school isnt the time of anyones life. It isnt four idyllic
years of glossy hair and skin as
clear as the fancy Flowater that our school
installed. Derivatives and integrals dont
magically make sense right before a test.
John Lennon once said: When youre
drowning you dont
think, I would be incredibly pleased if someone
would notice Im drowning and come and rescue
me. You just scream.
We can draw many parallels between almost
drowning and high
school, and Im not just
referencing those horrific six weeks of the
swim unit in PE when we would spend the
rest of the day soaked and smelling vaguely
of chlorine. No, when were flailing
through high school, rarely do we think
rationally of whats happening in that
moment. We just sort of scream. But hey,
eventually we are able to pull our head out
of the water (already slick with the hair
product of many before us) and there is a
moment of clarity. I like to think of graduation as our moment of clarity.
Were at a point where many of us have
gone through one of the most anxiety-ridden and stressful times the what-to-doafter-high-school period. Maybe some of
us arent even all the way through it. This
could be finding a college to go to or finding a place to work or finding a dream to
follow. Whatever it is, it forces us to confront who we are, often on just a few pieces
of paper. We see a handful of letters and
numbers and plus or minus signs. We see
envelopes and emails and online portals, a
few clicks away from finding out our future.
But we cant be limited to those numbers
and letters and scores, even if the world
sometimes tries to limit us.
Often, we find ourselves searching for
something to grab on to, to guide us
through whatever abyss of uncertainty we
are about to plunge in to. We seek it in
other things and other people, but rarely do
we look to ourselves. I mean, not everyone

In Aquarius, David Duchovny plays a Los Angeles police detective whose search for a missing teen leads to a would-be rock star destined
to become the eras bogeyman: Charles Manson.

David Duchovny takes


1960s trip inAquarius
By Lyn Elber
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES Between wrapping


Californication and the return of The XFiles, David Duchovny is making a detour
to the mind-bending 1960s.
In NBCs drama Aquarius, he plays a Los
Angeles police detective whose search for a
missing teen leads to a would-be rock star
destined to become the eras bogeyman:
Charles Manson.
Aquarius, which airs weekly after its
9-11 p. m. EDT Thursday debut, also will
be available for online binging. In a network experiment that echoes a Netflixstyle release, NBC is putting the full 13episode season on NBC. com, the NBC
app and other video-on-demand platforms

following the premiere.


The series gives Duchovny the chance to
play a character far different from his hallmark TV roles of a sex-obsessed writer on
Showtimes dark romp and a rule-breaking
FBI agent from Foxs eerie 1993-2002
drama.
LAPD Detective Sam Hodiak of Aquarius
is a decorated World War II veteran dismayed
to see the stalwart 1940s and staid 50s give
way to drugs, rock n roll and political
tumult.
He is walking around looking at these
kids with long hair and thinking, This is
what I killed for? This is what I would have
been killed for? Duchovny said. In many
ways hes the perfect guy to look through
Manson. Mansons a fake ... a 35-year-old
guy manipulating young girls.

But in the polarized 60s, Manson was coopted as a symbol of the dangers of social
upheaval, the actor said. The series opens
two years before the 1969 Tate-LaBianca
murders, among the killings that led to the
convictions of Manson (played by Gethin
Anthony, Game of Thrones) and his followers.
Duchovny said he wasnt deliberately trying to distance himself from his past work
by portraying a tough cop with a crew cut.
I want to do the best thing I can. But
when the best thing that came across my
desk was this (Aquarius), I wasnt unhappy
that it was a straight-laced character. I wasnt unhappy that he was establishment, the
actor said.

Bujalski grows
with a starrier
cast in Results
By Jake Coyle
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

In Andrew Bujalskis directorial


debut Funny Ha Ha the film
often cited as the first mumblecore movie its aimless
protagonist Marnie, recently
graduated from college, writes a
to-do list charming in its modest
ambition: Make friends with
Jackie. Learn to play chess?
Fitness initiative!
Bujalskis last film crossed one
of those off the list (the 80s-set
black-and-white mockumentary
Computer Chess), and now he
has taken his characters to the
gym. The fitness world, where
Bujalskis latest, Results, is
set, might seem like the most
unlikely place for the Austinbased indie director to turn; his
scruffy, nerdy characters would
probably only blink stoically if
presented with a treadmill. But, as
with Marnies list, Bujalski has
always been both stirred and
amused by the impulse for personal growth.
Results, itself, is a bulking
up for Bujalski. Though still a low
budget independent film, it cost
more than his other four films

combined and stars big name


actors, including Guy Pearce and
Colbie Smulders.
This is a radical shift for
Bujalski, whos synonymous
with Cassevetes-like lo-fi productions made with non-professional
actors. The (seeming) lack of polish in his films isnt merely a stylistic preference but an aesthetic
principle: He favors natural, awkward behavior familiar and
mundane over more mannered,
movie-like performance.
Results
embodies
both
approaches in two totally opposite characters. Guy Pearce is
Trevor, the fit, uber-positive
owner of the Power 4 Life gym,
where in stumbles Danny (Kevin
Corrigan), a slovenly, divorced
New Yorker who has inherited a
huge sum of money and is now
lazily living in an unfurnished
Texas McMansion. I want to be
able to take a punch, he mumbles
to Trevor.
Trevor assigns him his top
trainer, Kat (Smulders), an obsessive believer in fitness who
shames anyone who drops out of a
routine and (literally) chases
down a suburban mom behind on
her payments, cursing her as a

deadbeat. Despite their differences, she and Danny hit it off,
and a kind of romantic triangle
develops, along with Trevor, who
has a vague history with Kat.
Its a rom-com setup but one
that disintegrates. The movie,
which Bujalksi also wrote,
instead follows more unpredictable story lines as Trevor,
Danny and Kat each struggle in
their own way to find fulfillment.
Danny, unkempt and slovenly but
honest and easygoing, upends the
prescribed wellness programs of
Power 4 Life. We may disagree
on the definition of health, he
tells Kat, lighting a joint.
They make an appealing triad.

Steve Martin reflects on his


career as he receives honor
By Sandy Cohen
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES In the early 1980s, when


Steve Martin was a fledgling movie star, he
recalls attending the American Film
Institutes celebration of Frank Capra and
how Hollywood glitterati swirled around the
Oscar-winning filmmaker.
Martin himself will be at the center of the
celebration next week, surrounded by friends
and colleagues from a 48-year career in entertainment. Mel Brooks will present Martin
with AFIs 43rd Life Achievement Award at a
private ceremony in Hollywood on June 4.
Its such a prestigious group that theyve
given this award to, and I cant help but
think, What am I doing there? Martin said
in a recent interview. But, still, they gave it
to me, so Im accepting it with full pride.
The ultimate multi-hyphenate, Martin says
he never had a career plan which seems to
have worked out well for the 69-year-old
screenwriter, actor, comedian, producer,
playwright, novelist and musician.
I always felt I was lucky to be where I
was, he said.
One of his earliest gigs was as a writer for
The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour,
which led to other TV-writing jobs. In 1979,
he co-wrote and starred in the film The
Jerk, followed by Dead Men Dont Wear
Plaid and The Man with Two Brains a few
years later. And when he couldnt find a writer
to work on his idea for an updated Cyrano de
Bergerac, he decided to try it himself. The
1987 movie Roxanne was the result.
So that worked out, and it turned me into a
screenwriter, a solo screenwriter, he said.
There are so many little accidents along the
way that happen.
Sir Howard Stringer, chair of the AFI
Board of Trustees, called Martin a multilayered creative force bound by neither con-

builder in his native Australia, and


the character composed, genial
suits him. Corrigan has long
been one of the best character
actors around: a laconic, deadpan
presence who brings a sweet
melancholy to even the smallest
of parts. Nothing proves
Bujalskis smarts as much as casting him in a leading role.
But its Smulders who takes
hold of the film. Her angry intensity animates the story, prodding
it along. Smulders has excelled as
a member of ensembles (How I
Met Your Mother, The
Avengers), but Results suggests she can lead, too.

al recommendations, Mattusch said.

along in a much more reserved and controlled manner.
Examples include working with Interim
General Manager Glen Lazof to clarify
accountings practices that differentiate

and investigating grant opportunities to
improve aging infrastructure, Mattusch
said.
Nicole David, vice president of the board,
agreed and added the district is working to
make long-term improvements such as
addressing budget shortfalls and capital
improvement projects.
The board will consider all LAFCo observations carefully and is committed to bringing stability and solutions for more efficient operations to the district, David
wrote in an email. Our goal is to make the
harbors thrive and have the district endure
over time.
Although little action was ultimately
taken after LAFCo and other civil grand
juries recommended the county take over the
districts responsibilities years ago,
Poyatos said recent turmoil has caught officials attention.
The Board of Commissioners held a midyear reorganization Tuesday with Sabrina
Brennan stepping down as board president
but remaining on the board when Lazof
claimed she threatened him after just a few
days on the job.
Inappropriate interaction between commissioners and staff continue to interfere
are forecasting that the modest 1. 8 percent growth in consumer spending in the
first quarter will climb. And since consumer spending accounts for 70 percent of
overall activity, the acceleration will lift
economic growth back into positive territory.

percent in the second quarter and rev up to
3 percent in the second half of the year.

Its safe to say the county and the cities
are far more aware of the Harbor District
than they were five or 10 years ago,
Poyatos said. The controversy is disconcerting because theres a lot of good
employees that work for the Harbor District
and it cant be pleasant for them.
Ultimately, Poyatos said it boils down to
the fact that the districts role is duplicated
by existing agencies like the Board of
Supervisors and county Parks Department
but no matter what, LAFCo wouldnt
approve dissolution unless the same level
of service can be provided by a successor.
The most potential viable option [is] a
scenario in which the county acts as successor agency, operates [Pillar Point Harbor,]
things that happened in the first quarter
are fleeting.
The Northeast has emerged from the
frigid cold and record amounts of snow
that hit the region in the first quarter. The
winter blizzards that curtailed trips to the
mall and auto dealerships could even lead
to a surge in pent-up demand in coming
months.
A labor dispute that disrupted shipping
at many West Coast ports has been
resolved, which should alleviate supply
bottlenecks that depressed manufacturing
activity.
Economists also believe they are seeing
signs that business investment is starting
to rise after falling for a number of
months. Gains in housing construction
and sales are also fueling hopes.
The GDP decline in the first quarter this
year followed a similar decline last year.
In fact, since the country pulled out of the
Great Recession in 2009, there have been
three quarters when GDP has gone negative all in the first quarter.
That has raised questions about whether
the government is having trouble seasonally adjusting activity in the winter and is
over-stating first quarter weakness. The
Bureau of Economic Analysis, which prepares the GDP, has agreed to look into the
issue and says it may adjust the figures
later this year.
Any gains would make the start of this
year look better and mean the economy
had less of a hole to climb out of going
forward.
A bigger-than-expected trade deficit was
a key reason that the GDP was revised
from a tiny 0. 2 percent gain to the 0. 7
percent decline.
The widening deficit is a reflection of
the dollars increase in value against
other major currencies since last year. The
stronger dollar hurts U. S. exports by
making American-made goods more
expensive in overseas markets. It also
increases the competition domestic producers face from foreign-made goods by
making imports cheaper for American
consumers.
It was a surge in imports that played the
biggest role in widening the trade deficit
in the first quarter. Economists believe

Commissioner Robert Bernardo said the
district shouldnt be dissolved for two clear
reasons: expertise and focus.
In my opinion, you cant take someone
who does park and recreation or office of
emergency services and suddenly have them
handle maritime operations, Bernardo
said. Plus, whenever you fold an organization into another organization it
becomes not as important compared to the
entire county.
LAFCo is an independent commission
with jurisdiction over the boundaries of the
20 cities, 23 independent special districts

districts serving San Mateo County.
Poyatos said gathering responses from the
public, district officials and others will be

purpose.

District in particular will let go of the dissolution designation and look at other areas

coming months. But if they are wrong,
that could mean their forecasts of a
rebound will turn out to be overly optimistic.
The big drop in oil prices since last year
was supposed to be a net positive for the
U. S. economy. But so far, the economy
has felt more pain than gain.
Energy companies have slashed their
spending on drilling activity, pushing it
down by 48. 6 percent in the first quarter
the sharpest fall since the depths of the
2007-2009 recession. While drilling rig
counts are still dropping, economists
hope that the drag from these cutbacks
will begin to lessen.
Analysts are also hopeful that the gains
they have been forecasting in consumer
spending will start to emerge. They have
been puzzled that consumers so far have
chosen to bank their savings from lower
gas bills rather than spend the money.
While gas prices have risen recently,
they are still about $1 below the levels of
a year ago. Economists believe these continued savings will spur stronger consumer spending in the months ahead. If
they are wrong, then the expected growth
in consumer spending may be modest.
The economy has muddled through with
sub-par growth averaging just 2. 2 percent
since the recession ended in June 2009.
Economists have repeatedly forecast that
the economy was on the verge of breaking
out to faster growth above 3 percent, only
to be disappointed.
When this year started, they were predicted 2015 would be the strongest in a
decade, topping the 3. 3 percent growth of
2005. However, with the surprisingly
weak start to the year, they have scaled
back those estimates.
There could be more unwelcome surprises. One of the biggest could be volatility
in financial markets once the Federal
Reserve starts raising interest rates. It has
kept a key rate near zero since late 2008.
At the moment, rate hikes are expected
to begin in September. While the central
bank has done a lot to prepare markets,
there could be a possible repeat of the
2013 taper tantrum, which sent markets
tumbling for a time. Turbulent markets
might then undermine consumer and business confidence and push growth lower.

Judge delays case after
Suge Knight hires Jackson lawyer
LOS ANGELES A judge on Friday delayed the murder
trial of Marion Suge Knight after the former rap music
mogul hired the attorney who successfully defended Michael Jackson against
child molestation charges.
The appearance of attorney Thomas
Mesereau prompted the judge to reschedule a hearing on a motion by Knight to
dismiss murder, attempted murder and hitand-run charges.
The motion was pushed back until July
7 to give Mesereau time to file his own
Suge Knight legal documents and get more familiar
with the case.
Knight is accused of running over two men outside a
Compton burger stand in January, killing one and seriously
injuring the other. He has pleaded not guilty.
Mesereau is the fourth attorney to represent Knight since
he was arrested.
I am convinced he is innocent, Mesereau said outside
court, adding that he would make no further comments.
Mesereau told Superior Court Judge Ronald Coen that he
was concerned about Knights treatment in jail.

Carls, Hardees CEO:


Not all models know
how to eat burgers
By Candice Choi
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK Carls Jr. and


Hardees ads starring nearly naked
women have become a part of
American culture, according to
Andy Puzder, CEO of the chains
parent company.
People watch for the ads, and
want to know when the next ones
coming out, he says.
Some of the women were relatively unknown before they
appeared in the ads. Others, such
as Heidi Klum and Padma Lakshmi,
were already famous. The 64-yearold chief executive says the ads
cut through the clutter and make
an impression on the younger men
the burger chains court.
CKE Restaurants, the parent
company of Carls and Hardees, is
privately held and doesnt disclose financial results. But it says
sales were up 5 percent at established locations in the second half
of its last fiscal year.
The newest ad airs Monday and
stars Sports Illustrated model
Samantha Hoopes eating The
Most American Thickburger,
which includes a beef patty
between a split hot dog and potato
chips.
Heres what Puzder had to say in
an interview, trimmed and edited
for clarity.
Q: Ho w di d thes e ads s tart?

A: It started with an ad agency


we used to
have called
Mendelsohn Zien, and a guy
named Jordin Mendelsohn. He
came up with the idea to use Paris
Hilton in an ad and make it a very
cutting edge ad, where she was
washing a Bentley.
Actually, he tried to chicken
out. He called and said, I dont
think we should do this ad, I want
to talk to you. But I called him
back and I said, I want to do the
Paris Hilton ad.
This was 2005.
(Mendelsohn says he didnt like
the initial ad his team developed,
but didnt object to the final version he worked on.)
Q: Ho w do y o u g et wo men
to do the co mmerci al s ?
A: We have a history of picking
these young women before they
hit their peak. We put Kate Upton
in an ad a month before she got the
cover for Sports Illustrated. At the
time we picked her, we just said,
This is a beautiful woman.
We just did an ad with (model and
actress) Charlotte McKinney,
which kind of created Charlotte
McKinney. It was her walking
through a farmers market. You
think shes naked until the end,
and you see shes got clothes on.
Its for the all-natural burger.
Q: Do mo de l s n o w s e e
Carl s Jr. ads as a pl atfo rm?
A: We did an ad last summer

The newest Carls Jr., Hardees ad airs Monday and stars Sports Illustrated model Samantha Hoopes eating The
Most American Thickburger, which includes a beef patty between a split hot dog and potato chips.
where (Sports Illustrated model)
Hannah Ferguson was washing a
big Ford pickup truck for the Texas
barbecue burger. We did an event
in Texas and I was talking to her.
She said, All us girls at Sports
Illustrated, we all talk about whos
going to do the next Carls Jr. ad
and how can we be the model that
does the next ad?
(A representative for Ferguson
says she never made the statement.)
And Padmas manager contacted
us. You know who Padma is?
Q: Padma Laks hmi ?
A: Yeah, Padma actually put in
one of her cookbooks how when
she was modeling as a teenager,
her parents moved to Los Angeles.
They couldnt eat meat, right? But
she would sneak out to a Carls Jr.
and get a Western Bacon
Cheeseburger, and then lick the

Say goodbye, not hello, to


Cameron Crowes Aloha
By Lindsey Bahr
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Cameron Crowe loves a good failure story,


and specifically what happens after a disastrous fall from the top. If Crowe were a character in his own film, the fiasco of Aloha,
and nearly all of his post-Almost Famous
movies, would provide the perfect intro.
Unfortunately, Aloha is not part of some
larger redemption narrative for Crowe (at
least not yet). Its just another fascinating
mess from an earnest and occasionally excellent filmmaker who cant seem to recreate the
enveloping magic and charm of his earlier
films. Its an unfair standard for anyone, but
its hard not to hope for the best from Crowe,
even if his past few films have taught us otherwise.
Aloha was cut off at its knees from the
start as one of the unwitting victims of criticism from sharp-toothed executives in last
years Sony hack, leaving Crowe fans wondering just how bad the film could be. After
all, he had a charming, of-the-moment cast, a
compelling-on-paper story about a man
reconnecting with a longtime ex while also
falling for a pretty young thing and an idyllic
location to work with.
And yet in execution, Aloha is a meandering, needlessly confusing cacophony of
story, performance, and spiritual blather. Not
only does it feel inauthentic, its often downright alien.
The story, briefly, is about the once idealistic Brian (Bradley Cooper) who sold his
soul to a military contractor (a nearly comatose Bill Murray) and has returned to Hawaii
for a job. There, hes forced to revisit his
failed relationship with Tracy (Rachel
McAdams), whos since had two kids and
married a man of few words (John Krasinski).
Hes also been tethered to the bizarre Air
Force pilot/potential love interest Allison
Ng (Emma Stone).
How something that straightforward goes

astray is a bit of a mystery. Crowe packs


every moment with so many words, but very
little coherent information. The discomfort
of not knowing whats going on rots the
overall experience, especially when the odd
satellite defense subplot takes over. It sometimes feels like half the movie is missing.
At one point, probably 30 minutes in,
Brian and Ng are together, going somewhere.
The two characters talk and bicker at rapid
speed. But theyre not really talking to each
other, at least in the way that any human
might understand conversation to work with
another human. Its all cute turns of phrase
and non-sequiturs. By the time they get to
their destination a settlement of native
Hawaiians who want sovereignty youve
fully forgotten, or perhaps never understood,
why exactly they are there. And it only gets
more jumbled.
Part of the problem is Ng. Crowe has a
knack for writing good female characters
Tracy comes pretty close but the childlike
Ng is not a person who has or will ever exist.
The usually wonderful Stone, in a rare misstep, is lost here as the one-quarter Hawaiian
F-22 pilot who calls Brian sir even after
theyve started to fall for each other. She
speaks in a clipped, grating staccato thats
only ever softened when waxing poetic
about her Hawaiian heritage and the spirituality of a clear sky. Her quirks are meant to
charm. Unfortunately they have the opposite effect.
There are some lovely moments of humor
and depth that do succeed including a longlead joke that is used to brilliant effect in one
of the final scenes. McAdams and Cooper
also have wonderful chemistry and a deeply
felt wistfulness over their romantic past.
Their scenes together are the films rare
bright spot and a reminder of Crowes unique
strength as an idiosyncratic voice.
Its not enough, though. Aloha either
needed more focus or more time to say what it
wanted to say. But perhaps this is the earnest
failure Crowe needs to get back in gear.

barbecue sauce off her fingers


when she got home, so her parents
couldnt tell.
Padmas manager called and
said, Did you see this in the
book?
So we put her in an ad where she
eats
a
Western
Bacon
Cheeseburger.
We get a lot of actresses, whose
names I wont tell you, who contact us, who we dont end up using
in the ad because theyre not right
for the brand.
Q: What are s o me ex ampl es
wi tho ut s ay i ng names ? Are
they no t the ri g ht ag e?
A: Some of it may be age relevant. Although, Heidi Klum is no
spring chicken.
It depends on a lot of interlocking factors, and what products
were promoting. First of all, you
really need to be able to eat the

burger like youre loving it. We


dont want somebody thats going
to go out there and say, Well, I
dont eat burgers.
You really have to go at it. You
really have to attack it.
Q: Has there been a pro bl em wi th that?
A: We used Kim Kardashian in
an ad. But Kim really couldnt eat
the burgers. Luckily, we had a
salad we were promoting, so we
used Kim in the salad ad. But if we
had not been promoting a salad,
we probably never wouldve done
an ad with Kim, because she wasnt good at eating the burger.
Shes too tiny. Shes really little.
(A representative for Kardashian
disputed the account and said a
salad ad was chosen because
Kardashian had a fitness DVD and
wanted to eat something that fit
with her image.)

money should be spent.
This money is yours as residents of
San Bruno, and we want to hear what
you think, Mayor Jim Ruane told the
crowd assembled at the school.
During the event, residents broke
out into groups of 10 or more and identified existing issues in the city they
would like to see fixed and brainstormed new programs and services
desired for San Bruno.
The general consensus from conversations at the meeting is that many
would like to see the money be spent
toward building public facilities that
would offer residents ongoing benefits, such as a community center or
swimming pool, as well as an
improved library and city parks.
Leslie Hatamiya, executive director
of the community foundation, said
much of the feedback the foundation
has received from residents thus far is
in line with what officials expected.
A lot of what weve heard was anticipated, she said. There are a lot of
common themes.
While some residents selected public
benefits they wished to see purchased

SKILLS

Fry will compete against two other
finalists who are vying for the dance
scholarship, while Koh, Filloux and
one other contestant will see who can
belt it out better in a battle for the
singing scholarship.
Each student will have the opportunity to perform one piece of music that
will be judged by an expert panel,
including singer Tracy Chapman, composer Gordon Getty and many others
who have extensive accomplishments
in the arts and performance world.
All three local contestants have extensive experience performing in front of
audiences, and plan to continue pursuing their skills during their journey
through college.
Filloux, who attends Woodside
Priory High School in Portola Valley,
said singing and performance is a family affair, as her mother is also a singer
and her aunt is a playwright.
She said she plans on attending the
University of Hartford next year,

with the funds, others wanted to see
aging streets, facilities and systems
updated.
We have a city that is 100 years old
and is falling apart at the infrastructure, said resident Mike McGuirk,
who attended the event with his wife
Susan.
Some residents discussed whether
the best strategy for the fund would be
to spend a large chunk of it on a bigticket item such as a community center, or if it would be wiser to adopt a
more fiscally conservative strategy
such as allowing it to earn interest
over time.
Hatamiya noted there are almost no
restrictions on how the money can be
spent, so long as it is not paid to the
salary of city employees or other individuals.
With that freedom comes a unique set
of hurdles, regarding difficulties associated with identifying the best ways
to spend such a substantial amount of
money with so many competing needs
and interests, said Hatamiya.
Resident Laura Davis expressed
interest in using a portion of the
money to benefit the San Bruno
Park Elementary School District,
which has been operating under a
structural deficit for years, and has
co n s i dered cl o s i n g a s ch o o l t o

resolve the budget concerns.


Others suggested spending money to
renovate San Brunos downtown and
offer money to local businesses interested in revamping their image to give
the citys business district a more current and pronounced character.
Hatamiya said members of the foundation were happy with the feedback
received during the town hall meeting,
and appreciated the communitys
enthusiasm for participating in the
process of shaping the future of the
spending plan for the fund.
Im very pleased with the level of
engagement, she said.
There is a final community outreach
meeting scheduled Wednesday, June 3,
at the San Bruno Senior Center.
Those who cannot attend are invited
to participate in an online survey,
which will allow them to express their
opinion on the future of the fund. Visit

information.

where she will continue her endeavor


to become a professional singer.
Ive always wanted to pursue a
career in musical theater, so Im very
excited for what the future holds in that
regard, she said.
And though she has never had the
opportunity to see a Beach Blanket
Babylon performance, Filloux said she
appreciates the show and the role it
plays in the theater world.
I think Beach Blanket does such a
great job of keeping up with current
political satire, she said. I love how
they give back to the community in so
many ways. They are giving these
struggling artists the opportunity to
pursue an education.
The students who have never seen
Beach Blanket Babylon in its full
glory will get a shot on Monday, when
the professionals will put on an exclusive show after the competition for the
finalists, along with their family
members and friends.
Koh, who attends the Ruth Asawa
San Francisco School of Arts,
expressed an anxious enthusiasm for
the chance to share the stage with professional performers.
Im excited to have that experience.

I feel extremely lucky. Its an honor,


but Im definitely nervous, she said.
Should she win the scholarship, Koh
said she would use it in pursuit of earning her a masters degree in music at
the University of California at Los
Angeles.
The scholarship would help tremendously with college, she said.
Koh, who focuses her skills on
singing opera, said her passion for
music has helped her not only find a
skill she would like to pursue professionally, but also aided her social
development.
Singing has helped me break out
o f my s h el l , an d fo rced me t o
become more mature as a person,
she said.
Filloux agreed that singing has also
changed her life, and said she is prepared to enjoy the experience of competing and showcase her talent.
This isnt about winning, she
said. Theres just so much excitement, I dont have many nerves regarding it, because this is a win-win.

Washington removes
Cuba from the U.S. list
of terrorism sponsors
By Andrea Rodriguez and Mathew Lee
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

HAVANA The Obama administration


formally removed Cuba from the U.S. terrorism blacklist Friday, a decision hailed in
Cuba as the healing of a decades-old wound
and an important step toward normalizing
relations between the Cold War foes.
Secretary of State John Kerry signed off
on rescinding Cubas state sponsor of terrorism designation exactly 45 days after
the Obama administration informed
Congress of its intent to do so on April 14.
Lawmakers had that amount of time to
weigh in and try to block the move, but did
not do so.
The 45-day congressional pre-notification period has expired, and the secretary of
state has made the final decision to rescind
Cubas designation as a state sponsor of terrorism, effective today, May 29, 2015, the
State Department said in a statement.
While the United States has significant
concerns and disagreements with a wide
range of Cubas policies and actions, these
fall outside the criteria relevant to the
rescission of a state sponsor of terrorism
designation, the statement said.
The step comes as officials from the two
countries continue to hash out details for
restoring full diplomatic relations, including opening embassies in Washington and
Havana and returning ambassadors to the
two countries for the first time since the
U.S. severed diplomatic relations with the
island in January 1961. The removal of

Cuba from the terrorism list had been a key


Cuban demand.
The Cold War-era designation was levied
mainly for Cubas support of leftist guerrillas around the world and isolated the communist island from much of the world financial system because banks fear repercussions from doing business with designated
countries. Even Cubas Interests Section in
Washington lost its bank in the United
States, forcing it to deal in cash until it
found a new banker this month.
Banks continue to take a cautious tone
about doing business with Cuba since U.S.
laws still make the island off limits for U.S.
businesses. Leaders of the Republicanscontrolled House have shown zero interest
in repealing the laws from the 1990s that
codified the U.S. embargo on trade with
Cuba.
Taking Cuba off the terrorism list is one
step toward normalization, but for doing
business down there, we have a long way to
go, said Rob Rowe, vice president and
associate chief council at the American
Bankers Association.
In a blog post, the White House called the
decision on the terrorism list another step
toward improving relations with Cuba.
For 55 years, we tried using isolation to
bring about change in Cuba, it said. But
by isolating Cuba from the United States,
we isolated the United States from the
Cuban people and, increasingly, the rest of
the world.
The terrorism list was a particularly
charged issue for Cuba because of the U.S.

history of supporting exile groups responsible for attacks on the island, including the
1976 bombing of a Cuban passenger flight
from Barbados that killed 73 people aboard.
The attack was linked to Cuban exiles with
ties to U.S.-backed anti-Castro groups and
both men accused of masterminding the
crime took shelter in Florida, where one,
Luis Posada Carriles, currently lives.
I think this could be a positive act that
adds to hope and understanding and can help
the negotiations between Cuba and the
United States, said director Juan Carlos
Cremata, who lost his father in the 1976
bombing.
Its a list we never should have been on,
said Ileana Alfonso, who also lost her father
in the attack.
Top U. S. Republicans criticized the
move, with House Speaker John Boehner of
Ohio saying the Obama administration had
handed the Castro regime a significant

political win in return for nothing.


The communist dictatorship has offered
no assurances it will address its long record
of repression and human rights at home,
Boehner said in a statement.
Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush said the
decision was a mistake and called it further
evidence that President Obama seems more
interested in capitulating to our adversaries
than in confronting them.
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, a
California Democrat, praised the move,
saying it is a critical step forward in creating new opportunities for American businesses and entrepreneurs, and in strengthening family ties.
U.S. and Cuban officials have said the two
sides are close to resolving the final issues
needed for restoring diplomatic relations,
but the most recent round of talks ended
May 22 with no announcement of an agreement.

Chinese weaponry spotted on artificial island, U.S. says

SINGAPORE U.S. surveillance detected


two large artillery vehicles on one of the
artificial islands that China is creating in
the South China Sea, U.S. officials said
Friday, heightening concerns that Beijing
could use the land reclamation projects for
military purposes.
The revelation came as Defense Secretary
Ash Carter was in the region for an international security summit in Singapore where
he is expected to demand anew that China
and other nations halt all such projects.
While scolding China for aggression,
Carter is not expected to offer any indication of what the U.S. might do if the projects proceed.

The weaponry was discovered at least several weeks ago, and two U.S. officials who
are familiar with intelligence about the
vehicles say they have been removed. The
officials werent authorized to discuss the
intelligence and spoke only on condition
of anonymity.
The Pentagon would not release any photos to support its contention that the vehicles were there.
Chinas assertive behavior in the South
China Sea has become an increasingly sore
point in relations with the United States,
even as President Barack Obama and
Chinas President Xi Jinping have sought
to deepen cooperation in other areas, such
as climate change.
Pentagon spokesman Brent Colburn said
the U.S. was aware of the artillery, but he
declined to provide other details, saying it

QUETTA, Pakistan Around 20 armed


men hijacked two buses in Pakistans southwestern Baluchistan province, killed 19
passengers and took at least 25 with them
into the mountains as hostages Friday, a
Pakistani official said.
Baluchistan Home Minister Sarfaraz Bugti
said the gunmen let around 50 passengers
go. Security forces surrounded and battled
the gunmen, and were able to recover six
passengers, one of whom was wounded.
Baluchistan Information Minister Abdur
Rahim Ziaratwal said the abductors killed
the 19 passengers and left their bodies

behind as they escaped deeper into the


mountains. He said the assailants still hold
some passengers, without giving an exact
number, and that the operation to recover
them is still underway.
Baluchistan is the scene of a low-intensity insurgency by Baluch nationalists, separatists and other groups demanding more
autonomy and a greater share of the
provinces gas and mineral resources.
Elsewhere in Pakistan, a suicide bomber
blew himself up near a stadium in Lahore
where a cricket match was underway between
Pakistan and Zimbabwe, Information
Minister Pervez Rashid said on Geo TV.
He said the bomber had tried to get closer
to the stadium but was stopped by police.

was an intelligence matter. Defense officials described the weapons as self-propelled artillery vehicles and said they posed
no threat to the U.S. or American territories. Those officials were not authorized to
discuss the matter publicly and spoke only
on condition of anonymity.
The sighting was first reported by The
Wall Street Journal.

Mira Rapp Hooper, director of the Asia


Maritime Transparency Initiative, which
monitors developments in the South China
Sea, said that analysts have previously
identified artillery on at least two of the
Chinese land reclamation sites in the
Spratly Island chain: Fiery Cross Reef,
where an airstrip is under construction, and
Gaven Reef.
