Vaimasenu’u Zita Martel prepares to accept her “Star of Oceania” award this past Tuesday,
Dec. 3, in Honolulu. The event organized through the UH Pacific Business Center Program, celebrates the contributions of Pacific Islanders and residents whose heart and service is testimony
to their love for the islands they call home. “I dedicate this award to all the courageous young
people of Samoa and of the Pacific, who charted their voyages on a simple prayer — I CAN,”

OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR
PAGO PAGO AMERICAN SAMOA 96799
EXECUTIVE ORDER 020-2013
MORATORIUM ON TAKING AND REMOVING SEA CUCUMBERS
Preamble
WHEREAS, the American Samoa Government aims to promote the sustainable use of marine resources to protect and foster the environment and culture of the
Territory; and,
WHEREAS, the Department of Marine and Wildlife Resources of the American Samoa Government (”DMWR”) is tasked with managing, protecting, preserving
and perpetuating the marine and wildlife resources of the Territory; and,
WHEREAS, scientific research shows that sea cucumbers are important in cleaning and turning over sand on the sea floor, which serves to help recycle nutrients
and assists with breaking down waste matter on the reef; and,
WHEREAS, recent scientific research proves that sea cucumbers play a vital role in reducing the harmful impact of climate change on coral reefs, particularly the
problems associated with ocean acidification; and,
WHEREAS, several varieties of sea cucumbers grow slowly and reach reproductive maturity only after several years; and,
WHEREAS, DMWR fish catch monitoring records show that a new commercial fishery for export of sea cucumber has developed in the territory in the last several
months; and,
WHEREAS, in order to determine the level of risk posed to sea cucumbers in American Samoa, DMWR needs to conduct various surveys regarding their
population size and density; and,
WHEREAS, the population pool for sea cucumbers needs to remain constant in order for DMWR to effectively conduct such surveys for population size and
density; and,
NOW, THEREFORE, I, Lolo M. Moliga, Governor of American Samoa, hereby issue the following Executive Order:
Section 1. Authority
This Executive Order is issued under the authority granted to the Governor in Article IV, Sections 6 and 7 of the Revised Constitution of American Samoa and the
American Samoa Coe Annotated Section 4.011 and Section 24.0304.
Section 2. Moratorium on Taking and Removing Sea Cucumbers.
a. For the purposes of this Order, “moratorium” means the cessation of all acts that are in any way related to a prohibited activity for a prescribed period of
time.
b. There will be a moratorium on the taking and removing of sea cucumbers in American Samoa, and its Exclusive Economic Zone for a period of six (6)
months.
c. This moratorium applies to all individuals, boats, vessels, corporations, organizations, and any other public or private entities with the sole exception of
DMWR to carry out its duties and responsibilities described in Section 2 below.
Section 3. Duties and responsibilities of DMWR during Moratorium.
a. During this moratorium, DMWR shall conduct surveys to investigate the population size and density of sea cucumber species that inhabit American Samoa
and its Exclusive Economic Zone. These surveys must be conducted to determine whether it is necessary to regulate the harvest of sea cucumber for
conservation purposes.
b. Upon the completion of these surveys, DMWR shall provide the Governor with a report regrading their findings, and if necessary, propose regulations
regarding the harvest of sea cucumbers.
c. If DMWR fails to complete its surveys within this 6 month period, it may request an extension of this moratorium from the Governor.
Section 4. Penalties.
a. A violation of this order will be treated as a violation of the American Samoa Fishing regulations, A.S.A.C. section 24.0901 et seq., and shall be subject to the
fines and penalties listed in A.S.C.A. section 24.0312.
b. Any sea cucumbers discovered in violation of this Order shall be confiscated by the government and shall be delivered to DMWR.
Section 5. Effective Date and Expiry.
This Executive Order shall be effective immediately and unless extended will expire six (6) months from the date provided below.

BOH 100-DAYS TO
CLOSE DOWN BEGINS
Bank of Hawai’i started
on Dec. 4 the 100-day count
down to the official closure
of all its local operations and
relocation to Hawai’i, after
being delayed for one-year
following the urging of Gov.
Lolo Matalasi Moliga, Congressman Faleomavaega Eni
and other local leaders.
The Tafuna branch was
closed in March this year,
while the bank kept its Utulei
location open.
With the pending closure,
BoH’s executive vice president for West Pacific Region
Ronald Cannoles, sent out a
letter late last month to its current customers telling them
they still have the chance of
transferring their accounts
to Honolulu and if they want
to do so, they must contact
the Utulei branch as soon as
possible.
The letter also outlined
the advantages and disadvantage of banking with an
off-island financial institution
with no local branches. For
example, deposits mailed may
be delayed or lost in the mail.
Additionally, no local staff is
available to assist customers,
and phone calls to BoH Honolulu are not free calls.
Among the advantages of
banking with ANZ Amerika
Samoa Bank is that there are
no ATM fees, residents will
have easy access to funds and
local businesses may be more
receptive to accepting a check
drawn on a local bank.
Fourth graders
of MATAFAO school
gives TO HOPE HOUSE
In the spirit of Thanksgiving, 4th graders from
Matafao Elementary School
collected canned food, toiletries, bags of rice and many
other goodies, which they
donated to the Hope House
last week Wednesday as
part of their Thanksgiving
program.
Close to 20 students were
accompanied by their teachers
Seanette Thompson and Fuamata Kuka when they made
their donation.
Thompson told Samoa
News some students who
attended were there for the
first time, and to see the elderly
folks smiling and spending
time with them was priceless.
Asked if they are looking
at making it an annual event,
Thomson said it’s unclear at
the time, however they were
very fortunate to have had the
time to visit the elderly.
She thanked the parents
of the students who donated
the goods noting that without
the parent’s support their
activity wouldn’t have been
successful.
MAJOR ELECTRICITY
IMPROVEMENTS FOR
AUNU’U village
The American Samoa
Power Authority has completed some major electric
infrastructure on Aunu’u with
the work completed this week,
including the replacement of
old electric poles with new
poles throughout the entire
island-village.
Residents told Samoa News
how happy they are with the
major change in infrastructure
which included putting up new
streetlights. One resident says
that this change prevents the
past problem families faced
with having evening prayers
in the dark, because the electricity is out most of the time.
Happy with ASPA’s hardworking crew, who were on
Aunu’u for about three weeks,
families started taking turns
providing food for them,
according to residents, adding
that this was clearly to show
their appreciation. It is also
an old Samoan tradition of
“fafaga” or providing food.
An ASPA crewmember
told Samoa News that the
team deployed from Tutuila
was under the leadership of
Pulemau Sei and Elia Iese.
Rep. Talaimatai Elisara
Su’a, whose district includes
Aunu’u, confirmed ASPA’s
work has been completed and
is beneficial to the community.
For example, he pointed to the
new and replaced electric poles
with streetlights, which are
now working well “lighting up
the entire village at night”.

“Keeping the Peace”
“Never hurry when it counts”
“Storms cause trees to take deeper root.”
Good morning to all fine readers and friends of the Hawk.
Here we are once again remembering Pearl Harbor. The year
has flown past leaving us with more sad memories, and memories that we are unlikely to forget such as Pearl Harbor.
When Hawkeye thinks of WWII and the many battles fought
and won for freedom, it sickens him to listen to Foreigners slander
our flag, both Old Glory, and our Local Flag’s. Hawkeye thinks
this should call for an immediate deportation never allowed to
return to “Little America,” Ever Ever! We who are lucky enough
to dwell in little Amerika, do respect our flags both National, and
local. These are symbols of past wars, and dedication by hero’s
who have paid the ultimate sacrifice such as those who did so at
Pearl Harbor. When Hawkeye visited the USS Arizona Memorial, and Punchbowl Cemetery all in one day, he cried tears.
There were Japanese tourists who were crying right alongside
Hawkeye. There was no animosity between the two races, only
genuine grief. So we should never be exposed to some little “Pipsqueak” who chooses to slander our Flag, while all at the same
time raping our economy by sending their earnings back to their
Mother Country! If you do not like America, crawl back on your
little Boats, or an outbound plane, as this is your choice. If you
do not like living in paradise, leave it, but never ever slander our
Flags! {Especially in front of Hawkeye.}
Hawkeye is proud of his Honorable Discharge from the US
Navy earned during the Vietnam era. This was another dark
period in the history of America. Hawkeye wasn’t drafted, he
volunteered. While these same types of persons that slander our
flag were running across the Canadian border to avoid the draft,
Hawkeye and those like him made themselves available for what
came at them in the name of freedom. That being said, let’s all
remember Pearl Harbor!
Hawkeye’s read of the week is “Sweatshops in Paradise” By
Virginia Sudbury. Sudbury and her husband were short time residents of Paradise in the 90s. Virginia was a struggling attorney
who happened to take on what would become one of the most
famous Human Trafficking / Slavery cases ever to make it to
News Media’s worldwide. Her true story is told in her page
turning book “Sweatshops in Paradise” which Hawkeye is now
reading from the smallest room of his dwelling. Having been a
long time, continuous resident of Paradise for the past 29 years,
Hawkeye was close at hand to witness the plight of some half
Starved Vietnamese Garment Workers. On many of an occasion, there would be three to five Vietnamese Female Garment
Workers show up at Hawkeyes Hooch on weekends offering to
clean House, or cook for food. This went on for quite some time
and while Hawkeye felt for them, he would give them each $20
apiece and wish them well. It was no secret that this was going on
right under the nose of not only the South Pacific, residents, but
for the eyes and ears of the entire world. Hawkeye not having finished reading this work of Fiction will comment more in a later
cliff hanging issue of “Hawkeye.” The book has a nice photo of
the Tank Farm on the front of the Hardcover dust jacket.
Just when we thought we were getting back in to reality, we
hear and read of Flying Cars, and self Driving Automobiles.
Why would anyone wish to ride in a self driving Auto, when they
could enjoy the feeling if independence of having control of the
vehicle to go wherever the human operator pointed it! Better yet,
take a train, or a Public Bus! Who needs to spend $250,000 to
say, “Hey look at Meee!” Each to their own is Hawkeyes motto
so he will simply wait and see. Leanor wanted to know if the self
driving automobile will have a steering wheel. This way she can
practice driving while she is getting to a predetermined destination with her “Know it all” Husband, “Hawkeye!”
Hawkeye has in fact shared his copy of the NYT Best Selling
Book, “Killing Jesus.” This was the one mentioned earlier by Bill
ORiley, host of the ORiley Factor on the Fox Channels which we
no longer receive. Anyway, good book for anyone who can read,
and is also interested in reading Bill’s Book!
We are definitely in an economic depression here in Wonderland. We need only look around us, and we see small businesses
struggling and if not from a lack of business, a lack of payment
for the business that they do have. No one mentions this which
pretty well sums up the fact that there are a few in the “Have”
Section of the Bleachers that are satisfied with the level of business that they have, and therefore could care less what the other
half, the “Have Not’s” are doing for survival. This is nothing
new, and it is ok as long as you are in the driver’s seat!
Brush up on your Mandarin Chinese fans as you is a gwina
need it! Love from; Hawkeye & Sweet Leanor

The service crew of Samoa Motors is inviting everyone to come out and take advantage of the
BIG DEAL going on now throughout the entire month of December. Don’t let car troubles put a
[photo by B. Chen]
damper on your holiday plans, book an appointment with their friendly staff.
The BIG DEAL is happening
now, only at Samoa Motors
by B. Chen, Samoa News Correspondent
Don’t wait for your car to stall or die out on you. Make sure your vehicle is in tip top shape
for the holidays by taking it to Samoa Motors at the Tafuna Industrial Park today.
Right now, the territory’s only authorized Ford dealer is offering “The Works” care package
for $89.95
It’s such a small price to pay to ensure that your vehicle is running smoothly when you’re out
and about shopping for the holidays.
And if that price wasn’t already low enough, get additional savings by logging on to www.
fordconsumer.com
Simply print out the 20% coupon from the site and present it to Samoa Motors when you
bring your vehicle in so the savings can be applied to your service.
The folks at Samoa Motors believe that proper maintenance is a big deal and that’s why they
are making it easier for you by offering the Big Deal - which includes an oil change, tire rotation, a fluid top-off and a comprehensive 27-point inspection._
The special package deal is available throughout the entire month of December and applies
to every vehicle make or model. (Certain restrictions apply).
Samoa Motors service manager Donald Bryan explained that generally, they can service
all makes and models but there are certain jobs that require specific equipment that they don’t
have.
“For example, if the ABS light comes on in a Nissan Sentra, we wouldn’t be able to do much
because we would need a Nissan scanner to get things going,” he said.
In addition to the Big Deal, Samoa Motors has sedans, SUVs, trucks, and used vehicles for
sale at very reasonable prices. Choose from the Escape, Fusion, Focus, Explorer, Expedition, or
the popular, reliable F-150.
Stop by their Tafuna location today and find out why more guys depend on the Ford F-150 to
get the job done than any other brand.
Have you driven a Ford lately? Don’t settle for anything less than the best.

Experts urge the government to
measure, pursue our happiness
WASHINGTON (AP) —
Happy or sad? Content or
bored? And how many times
did you smile yesterday? A
panel of experts thinks Uncle
Sam should be more in touch
with our feelings.
By gauging happiness,
there’d be more to consider than
cold hard cash when deciding
matters that affect daily lives,
according to a report this week
from the National Academy
of Sciences, which advises the
government.
The panel of economists,
psychologists and other experts
assembled by the academy recommended that federal statistics
and surveys, which normally
deal with income, spending,
health and housing, include a few
extra questions on happiness.
“You want to know how
people are doing?” said panel
chairman Arthur Stone, a professor of psychology at New
York’s Stony Brook University.
“One of things you may want to
do is ask them.”
Asking how people feel can
be as important as how much
they are spending, Stone said.
For example, economists have
something they call the “misery
index” which adds the unemployment and inflation rates, but
doesn’t include how people feel.
If you want to know misery, the
question to ask is “how much
suffering is going on,” he said.
The panel suggests a series of
questions to measure daily happiness and general well-being,
asking how often you smiled,
were stressed, laughed or were
in pain. Example questions
ranged from a simple yes-no
“Yesterday, did you spend time
with friends or family?” to a
more complex 1-10 rating for
“Overall, how satisfied are you
with your life nowadays?”
Over the past decade, these
types of questions have shown to
be valid scientifically, said Carol
Graham, a Brookings Institution
economist who was on the panel.
The report said the answers can
help governments shape policy
on basic benefits, such as retirement age and pensions, care for
the chronic and terminally ill,
unemployment and working conditions. It cited a study by one of
the Nobel Prize-winning panelists that showed people’s feelings about commuting problems
helped officials decided whether
or not to create commuter toll
lanes on highways.
In terms of collecting happiness data, the United States government “is a bit of a laggard”
behind other industrial nations,
said John Helliwell, an economist who co-directs an institute
that studies well-being at the
University of British Columbia
in Vancouver.
In one of the few surveys
where the government does ask,
we’re a pretty happy nation.
Last year, about 87 percent of
Americans considered themselves very happy or pretty
happy.
But we’re far behind No.
1 Denmark, a host of northern
European countries, Canada,
Israel and Mexico. The United
States ranked 17th in a world
happiness
ranking
report
directed by Helliwell, which
was based on international surveys and came out in September.
When governments and academics study happiness they
find that money isn’t everything.
Many of the richest countries,
including the United States,
weren’t in the Top 10 in selfreported happiness in the report.
“Having no money is terrible
for everything,” said Graham,
author of several books on the
economics and measuring of
happiness. But after people
make “a comfortable amount
of money,” it doesn’t add too
much to happiness, she said.
That’s what a study last week
in the journal PLoS One found.
It used worldwide surveys and
found that as people made more
money worldwide they got hap-
pier — but only to a point. That
point is just shy of $36,000 a
year per person, or $144,000 for
a family of four.
Once people reached that
point, happiness measurements
level off and even go down
ever so slightly, said study
lead author, Eugenio Proto, an
economist at the University
of Warwick. According to the
study, in general, people in the
U.S. passed that “bliss point”
a few years ago, however federal income figures don’t show
nearly that high a household
wealth level.
Happiness studies, Helliwell
said, “keep reminding you that
there is much more to life than
income and housing.”

Report: Heavy swells
affected Puerto Rico’s
famed glowing lagoon
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) — A popular lagoon that glows
at night off Puerto Rico’s northeast coast has lit up once again as
scientists wrap up their investigation into why it went dark last
month, officials said Friday.
A prolonged and heavy swell had swept away microscopic
plankton known as dinoflagellates that are found in heavy concentrations in the lagoon and emit light through a chemical reaction when disturbed, said Carmen Guerrero, secretary of the Natural Resources Department.
There are typically thousands of dinoflagellates per liter
(gallon) of water in the lagoon, but those concentrations had
dropped to less than 100 in early November as heavy swells dispersed them, she said. “The big swell prevented these organisms
from staying in the lagoon,” she said.
Scientists found that the swell was eight times bigger than
what the lagoon experiences on average. The lagoon draws hundreds of tourists a year who rent kayaks or boats by night from
the nearby city of Fajardo to observe the water emit a greenish
light when fish swim by or when they trail an arm through it.
Scientists and residents were concerned that the lagoon
stopped glowing because of runoff from the construction of a
nearby water and sewer treatment plant, or because of people cutting down mangroves to allow larger boats into the area.
Scientists celebrated that it wasn’t a man-made problem, but
their investigation also found that the lagoon has high amounts
of fecal matter and other bacteria. Those findings demonstrate
a need for the water and sewer treatment plant currently being
built, said Laura Velez, president of the Environmental Quality
Board, which monitors such projects.
Government officials said the contamination problem was the
result of a nearby community lacking a proper sewage system.
Residents had asked that the plant be moved elsewhere when
the lagoon began going dark, and the government temporarily
suspended construction of it for two weeks to allow scientists
to investigate. Alberto Lazaro, president of the state Water and
Sewer Authority, said the agency is contemplating relocating the
plant and that officials will meet with residents before choosing
a location.

O LE POTO O KERISO E FESOOTA’I AI LANA FANAU.
(Isaia 5:1-7, Luka 7:28-35.)
A uma ona faia se galuega o se tagata kerisiano ona faapea ifo
lea i o lona loto, faafetai le Alii e i lou faatasi mai ia te’i matou,
a maea ona tatou faia se mea e lelei ona tatou faapea ane foi lea, o
matou o auauna le aoga.
Ua maea ona faia le galuega a Ioane mo le Malo o le Alii, o le
papatisoina lea o tagata ma faamamaina o latou finagalo ma loto, ia
latou faia mea uma aua le Malo o le Alii.
E tusa ma le tusitusiga a Malaki (1:1) “Faauta ou te tuuina atu
la’u savali, na te sauni le ala i o’u luma, e faafuasei foi ona oo mai i
lona malumalu o le Alii, o le ua saillia e outou, o le Agelu lava lea,
o le feagaiga, o le ua outou naunau i ai, faauta, e afio mai lava o ia,
ua fetalai mai ai le Alii o ‘au.”
“Ina o atu ia oulou ma faailoa atu ia Ioane o mea na ia Ioane o
mea na oulua faalogo i ai, ma vaai i ai, ua pupula tauaso, ma ma ua
savavali pipili, ua faamamaina lepela ma ua logo tutuli, ua faatutuina o e na oti ma ua folafolaina foi le tal lelei i e matitiva E manuia
foi se le tausuai ia te a’u.”
O lona uiga, “Ioe o ‘au lava lea.” O ia lea ua tusi mai i ai le
tusitusiga o le ‘au Faaevagelia, ‘Faauta ou te auina atu la’u savali i
ou luma, na te teuteu atu lou ala i ou luma.’ e leai se tasi faiaoga poo
se sili atu ia Ioane. E oo lava i le malo o le Alii, o ia e sili atu i loo
latou uma ua talia e le Alii i lona Malo.
O i latou uma ua papatisoina e Ioane ua maua e i latou le faamamaina, vanaga ai le ‘au faresaio ma loia ma le ‘au tusiupu ia ma
le ‘au satukaoi ma ‘ao’ao o le tulafono e le’i taliaina lana savali na
auina mai ai e le Alii i le lalolagi, o le papatiso i le vai.
E pei i latou oni tamaiti foi ia e i le maketi i faaili (i le leo o
falute) i la tatou uo, ma le e pei o tamaiti e faitio i se mea leaga ai,
ae le pei o tagata ua faitioina.
E oo foi ia Iesu lea na tomumu ai le tele o tagata, i lona taliaina
o le valaaulia e le Faresaio e la te ‘aai i lona fale, e le taliaina ona o
se fia mama o Iesu ae na taliaina ona o ona uiga e tutusa uma tagata
i lona faaolataga. E le faailoga tagata Iesu.
Le tautala sa’o o Ioane e le fefe e tau le mea sa’o, le mea lena
na fetalai ai Iesu faapea, “E fai atu ia te outou, e leai se perofeta i e
na fananau i fafine e sili ia Ioane le papatiso, a o le aupito itiiti i le
malo o le Atua, e sili lea ia te ia.” Aua na ia folafolaina le tala sa’o
i tagata Iutaia uma lava, aua fai mai lo tatou matua; O LE POTO A
KERISO E FESOOTA’I AI LANA FANAU, aua o le poto lea a le
Keriso lea ua fai ma mea e fesoota’i ai lana fanau, i le fai o mea sa’o
ma le tonu i luma o tagata Iutaia ma Isaraelu uma.
I le tusi o le feagaiga tuai, o le malaia o Isaraelu i le leaga o le
fai taaga ma le ifo i tupua ‘ese ma le ‘ina’ina o le Alii ona ua latou
le iloaina lava le Alii.
Le mea na silisili ona manumanu i ai tagata Isaraelu o le tovine,
poo le faatoaga vine (grapevine) na amata mai i Aikupito i le 2,500
tausaga i le taimi na fanau mai ai Iesu.
Le ‘ele’ele na silafia lava e le Alii, o le fai nei ma ‘ele’ele o lona
nu’u le fanua laulelei ma tama o aiga i mea tau faatoaga le malulu
mai o le mauga matagofie lea e faamalulu ai le foga’ele’el le fanua
na fai mai ai vaega lea na tutuli e Iosua e o e vaavaai i totonu o le
atunuu le la.
Lea na o mai tamaloloa o Isaraelu ma tala, o le fanua e ‘tafe ai le
suasusu ma le meli.’
O le mea tatau ona faia e Isaraelu, o le toe o lava i le Alii, faamaulalo o latou loto, salamo i a latou amio leaga lea na faia muamua,
aua na fetalai Iesu, “O a’u nei o le vine moni, a o lo’u Tama o le
galue vine ia.” ma ia toe fetalai mai ai fo’i, “Ina tumau ia outou ia
te a’u o a’u foi ia te outou. Faapei o le la, e le mafai ona fua pe a na
o ia, pe afai e le mau i le vine, e faapea foi outou, pe afai tou te le
tumau ia te a’u.”
O le finagalo o le Alii lea e mafua ai le tatou matua, O LE POTO
O KERISO E FESOOTAI AI LANA FANAU aua ua oo mai le
taimi o le tausaga e teuteu ai a tatou finagalo ma o tatou loto aua le

NEWS IN BRIEF
Reindeer escapes
from Santa at
Colorado mall
DILLON, Colo. (AP) — A
runaway reindeer broke free
from Santa Claus at a Colorado
mall Thursday while the Big
Man was inside visiting with
children.
KYSL in Summit County
reports that the reindeer escape
happened outside the La Riva
Mall in Dillon.
While Santa was inside listening to children’s Christmas
wish lists, the reindeer jumped
over its enclosure, leading
police officers on a healthy jog
through town.
The reindeer was located on
the other side of a nearby reservoir. The Summit County sheriff’s office brought in another
reindeer to lure the runaway
and get it back into a trailer.
President Obama
lights National
Christmas Tree
WASHINGTON (AP) —
President Barack Obama threw
the switch, bathing the National
Christmas Tree in lights and
giving an otherwise dreary
day in the nation’s capital a
festive and seasonal spirit. He
later singled out Nelson Mandela, the beloved South African
anti-apartheid leader who died
Thursday, for special gratitude.
“He blessed us with tremendous grace and unbelievable
courage,” Obama said. “We are
all privileged to live in a world
touched by his goodness.”
Before lighting the tree,
Obama acknowledged the cold
and rainy weather and proposed
an abbreviated countdown
before flipping on the lights.
“We’re going to start at 5; since
it’s little wet we shouldn’t start
at 10,” he said.
PUBLIC NOTICE

As soon as the tree burst
into color, singing diva Aretha
Franklin took to the stage for a
spirited version of “Joy to the
World.” Joining Obama for the
91st annual tree-lighting ceremony were first lady Michelle
Obama, daughters Sasha and
Malia, and mother-in-law
Marian Robinson.
The first lady read “’Twas
the Night Before Christmas,”
taking turns with a Sesame
Street Muppet named Abby.
After performances by
Franklin, the tenor trio Forte,
Janelle Monae, Joshua Bell,
Mariah Carey and Prince Royce,
Obama joined the performers on
stage to show off a few dance
steps and close out the program.
Rocket with secret
payload launches
off California
VANDENBERG
AIR
FORCE BASE, Calif. (AP) —
A rocket carrying a secret payload for the U.S. government
has successfully launched from
the central California coast.
The Atlas V rocket lit up the
night sky at about 11:15 p.m.
Thursday, lifting off from Vandenberg Air Force Base toward
low-Earth orbit.
The 19-story-tall rocket carried a payload for the National
Reconnaissance Office, which
operates the nation’s system of
intelligence-gathering satellites.
The agency has not released any
details about the payload.
A California cold snap had
threatened a possible delay,
but the rocket took off within
moments of the opening of its
launch window. Thursday’s
launch was the second time
an Atlas 5 rocket has lifted off
from the West Coast this year.
Overall, there have been 77
Atlas V launches from Vandenberg and Cape Canaveral, Fla.
Hong Kong reports
2nd H7N9 flu case
HONG KONG (AP) —
Hong Kong reported its second
human case of H7N9 bird flu
just days after the first, raising
fears that the virus is spreading
beyond mainland China.
The Health Department said
late Friday that an 80-year-old
man being treated for a chronic
illness in the hospital was found
to have the bird flu strain.
Authorities in the Asian
financial and transport hub have
been monitoring H7N9 closely
since it was first identified in
April. Infectious diseases are
a particular concern in Hong
Kong, where a decade ago the
Sars virus killed 299 people.
Hundreds in other countries
also died.
H7N9 has sickened about
140 people and killed 45, almost
all of them in mainland China.
Taiwan has had one case.
The virus appears to have
stalled since Chinese authorities cracked down on live
animal markets following
the initial outbreak. Medical
authorities say it doesn’t appear
to be easily contagious between
humans.
L.A. city attorney
sues b of America
LOS ANGELES (AP) —
The Los Angeles city attorney
is suing Bank of America for
mortgage discrimination it
claims led to a wave of foreclosures that cost the city a fortune
in extra expenses and lost taxes.
The suit, filed Friday in federal court, claims B of A redlined minority neighborhoods
for years, then turned around
and gave blacks and Hispanics
predatory home loans that they
couldn’t afford. The suit claims
those borrowers were forced
into foreclosure when the
housing bubble burst and they
were denied refinancing.
A message seeking comment
was left for representatives of
Bank of America Corp. Friday
evening. The city attorney filed
similar lawsuits on Thursday
against Wells Fargo & Co.
and Citigroup Inc. They deny
the allegations and say they’re
committed to fair lending.
Army — Someone
near ft. Irwin may
know of killing
VICTORVILLE,
Calif.
(AP) — Army investigators
asked for help from people near
a California base in solving
the 2009 killing of a soldier
in Afghanistan. Authorities
believe someone in the Fort
Irwin area may have details
about the death of Sgt. Anton
Phillips, 31, who was assigned
to a Germany-based maintenance company, the Victorville
Daily Press reported Thursday.
Phillips was found stabbed
to death four years ago at a
base in Mehtar Lam, a farming
area east of Kabul. “We uncovered information that leads us
to believe that someone in the
Fort Irwin area has information
that is critical to this homicide
investigation,” said Chris Grey, a
spokesman for the Army’s Criminal Investigation Command. A
$25,000 reward was offered to
anyone with information leading
to an arrest and conviction.
Grey said investigators don’t
believe robbery was a motive
but wouldn’t elaborate on why
Phillips was killed.
Phillips, a California native,
was an 11-year veteran and
previously served in Iraq. He
was assigned to the 5th Maintenance Company, 2nd Battalion,
77th Field Artillery Regiment.
Reality TV director
dies in home invasion
LOS ANGELES (AP) —
Los Angeles police are investigating the fatal home invasion shooting of a director who
worked on the reality TV show
“America’s Next Top Model.”
The Los Angeles Times
reports 42-year-old James
Howe died and his wife was
seriously wounded in the Nov.
27 attack at their rented home.
Police say Howe and his wife
answered the door of the Glassell Park home for what they
thought was a lone salesman,
but instead, two men and a
➧ NEWS IN BRIEF…
woman forced their way inside.
A fight ensued at the doorway,
and one of the men pulled a gun
and opened fire. The couple’s
6-year-old son wasn’t harmed.
Los Angeles Deputy Police
Chief Jose Perez says the
shooting appeared random and
there’s no obvious motive.
No arrests have been made.
Banksy mural
fetches $209K at California auction
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif.
(AP) — A mural stenciled on
the side of a Hollywood gas
station five years ago by the
British street artist Banksy has
fetched more than $200,000 at
a Beverly Hills auction.
The 9-by-8 foot “Flower
Girl” artwork sold for $209,000
on Thursday at an auction that
featured nearly 100 works by
more than 30 artists, according
to the Los Angeles Times. The
winning bid came from a Los
Angeles buyer who requested
anonymity.
The mural shows a little girl
holding a flower basket under
the eye of a surveillance camera
planted atop a tall stalk.
The seller of the mural was
Eytan Rosenberg, a former gas
station owner who allowed a
group of three street artists to
paint something on the business’s white brick wall.
Rosenberg sold the gas station last year and painstakingly removed the artwork and
installed it in a sturdy aluminum
frame. He and his sister want to
use the money from the sale to
build a car wash.
Banksy, who refuses to
reveal his full identity, began
his
career
spray-painting
buildings in Bristol, England.
He’s known for his silhouetted figures and spray-painted
messages.
The highest known price for
a Banksy work is about $1.1
million for a mural called “Slave
Labor” that was auctioned in
London in June. Banksy’s work
has caught the eye of A-list
Hollywood celebrities such as
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie,
who recently bought a smaller
piece for $1 million.
Jordan wins Security Council seat,
replaces Saudis
UNITED NATIONS (AP)
— The U.N. General Assembly
elected Jordan to the Security
Council on Friday to replace
Saudi Arabia, which rejected
the seat it won in an unprecedented act to protest the council’s failure to end the Syrian
and Israeli-Palestinian conflicts.
Jordan was chosen by Arab
countries as a replacement and
was endorsed by Asian nations
to take the traditional Arab seat
on the U.N.’s most powerful
body. It received 178 “yes”
votes in the election.
Saudi Arabia got one vote,
and four countries in the 193member world body abstained.
The 10 other countries were
either absent or unable to vote
because of unpaid dues.
Jordan’s Foreign Minister
Nasser Judeh said the country
was “extremely honored” and
“humbled” by the near consensus support from the international community which
recognized “Jordan’s relentless
efforts in the pursuit of peace
and security, the very principles that the Security Council is
mandated to preserve.”
Alaska renews push
to amass emergency
food stocks
JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) —
Alaska is renewing an effort to
secure a massive stockpile of
emergency food supplies to be
ready in case a major disaster
cuts the state off from supply
lines.
Gov. Sean Parnell has promoted emergency preparations
— including urging individuals
and families to make plans of
their own — as part of a larger
push to improve disaster readiness across Alaska.
The state ultimately hopes
to secure enough food to feed
40,000 people three meals a day
for seven days.
The state’s Department of
Military and Veterans Affairs
last year issued a request for
proposals to have two storage
sites ready and one-third of the
food supply in place by the end
of 2012. But that never happened: the department received
just one proposal, which ultimately was rejected when the
contractor couldn’t secure a
performance bond in a timely
manner, said Jeremy Zidek, a
spokesman for the state’s emergency preparedness division.
The solicitation was canceled.
Just this week, however,
the department issued a new,
scaled-back request for proposals. Initially, the state is
looking for information on food
that would be offered, including
shelf-life, storage requirements
packaging and dimensions, he
said Friday.
Decisions could then be
made on what types of storage
would be needed and how best
to manage the food supplies, he
said. Those things could be pursued separate from the contract
by the state.
Hillary Clinton:
nelson Mandela
a ‘giant among us’
WASHINGTON (AP) —
Former Secretary of State
Hillary Rodham Clinton is
remembering Nelson Mandela as a “giant among us”
who showed the world how
to respond to injustice and
tragedy.
Mandela died Thursday
in his home country. Former
President Bill Clinton and Mrs.
Clinton were close friends of
the anti-apartheid leader who
led South Africa in the 1990s.
Mrs. Clinton says Mandela
understood the importance
of bringing democracy and
freedom to South Africa and
showed others how to live a life
of integrity.
Clinton spoke Friday on
Capitol Hill, where she received
an award from the foundation
of the late California Congressman Tom Lantos, a Holocaust survivor and longtime
champion of human rights.

Couple accidentally
gets bag of cash at
drive-thru window
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP)
— A suburban Nashville couple
got more than they expected in
their to-go order in a McDonald’s drive-thru: A bag of cold
cash. WTVF-TV reports thousands of dollars in cash packaged for a bank deposit had
been placed in a paper to-go bag
near the drive-thru orders on
Tuesday morning. An employee
mistakenly passed the bag to
Greg and Stacye Terry who had
just been looking for breakfast.
The employee realized the
mistake almost immediately
and followed the Terrys to their
home a short distance away.
Meanwhile, the couple was
ready for breakfast.
“My husband opened the
bag and discovered the money
inside,” Stacye Terry said. “He
said, ‘You are not going to
believe this.’ Sure enough, it
was their bank deposit money.
“The second that he said it
was their deposit, my first thing
was let’s get in the truck and
take it back.”
They said they had a good
laugh and even took photos of
the cash before returning it to
the employee. They posted a
picture to Facebook of the wads
of bills in plastic bags with what
look like yellow deposit slips.

FEDS REPEAT CALL TO REAFFIRM
DISMISSAL OF CITIZENSHIP SUIT
Attorney for the U.S. State Department, the federal government, and two officials of the U.S. State Department has reiterated a request for the federal appeal’s court in Washington
D.C. of a summary affirmation of the lower court’s decision
in June that dismissed the citizenship lawsuit filed by five
America Samoans and a California based organization.
Late last month, the plaintiffs opposed the affirmation decision,
arguing that among other things, this case presents the first opportunity for any appellate court to consider whether people born in
American Samoa are U.S. citizens by virtue of the Fourteenth
Amendment’s guarantee that “[a]ll persons born… in the United
States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the
United States” based on a provision of the U.S. Constitution.
Yesterday the defendants, through Assistant U.S. Attorney,
Wynne P. Kelly, argued that the plaintiffs fail to demonstrate
why the lower court’s decision dismissing the complaint “was not
plainly correct”. Kelly further argued that the lower court properly concluded that plaintiffs failed to state a claim and “summary
disposition is appropriate” in this case because the “merits of this
appeal are so clear as to make summary affirmance proper.”
According to Kelly, plaintiff-appellants’ arguments raised
in their opposition to the affirmance motion “fails to disturb
the central fact underpinning” the lower court’s “opinion: no
relevant authority supports the proposition that the Fourteenth
Amendment...confers automatic citizenship on those born in
American Samoa to non-U.S. citizen parents.”
“In fact, the only thing novel about plaintiff-appellants’
complaint is that their pleading” asked the lower court “to
determine by judicial fiat a status for American Samoans that
Congress had expressly declined to provide, that the people
of American Samoa’s representative opposed as endangering
the fa’a Samoa or Samoan way of life, and which every other
federal court had deemed unavailable to identically situated
persons,” said Kelly, who again asked the appeal’s court for
affirmation of the lower court’s decision.

➧ NEWS IN BRIEF…
a statement thanked the Terrys
and said he is looking into how
the mistake happened.
Smoke in W.Va.
school sends 37
people to hospitals
TUNNELTON, W.Va. (AP)
— A northern West Virginia
business was burning material illegally in its outdoor furnace and the smoke drifted into
a nearby elementary school
Friday, sending 37 people to hospitals, authorities said. Preston
County Assistant Superintendent
Craig Schmidl said classes were
dismissed at Tunnelton-Denver
Elementary School.
In a news release, the
Preston County emergency services office said it received a
call at 10:38 a.m. that a few students in one of the classrooms
were having respiratory problems. After rescue units arrived,
the number of patients “took a
dramatic increase.” They were
taken to four area hospitals
Schmidl said many of the
students taken to the hospital
were in one of two modular
units adjacent to the school’s
main building. Smoke from
the furnace got pulled into the
school’s ventilation system.
Schmidl said he didn’t know
the name of the business and that
authorities were looking into the
possibility of carbon monoxide
poisoning, although the cause
remained under investigation.
State Dept. of Environmental Protection spokesman Tom Aluise
said an air quality inspector “confirmed that illegal material was
being burned in the furnace.”
Director Zhang
Yimou sued for too
many children
BEIJING (AP) — Famed
Chinese film director Zhang
Yimou is being sued by two
lawyers for breaking China’s
one-child policy, in what they
say is a protest against rich
people flouting the rules.
Jia Fangyi said Friday he and
Guo Chengxi want Zhang to pay
1 billion yuan ($164 million)
in compensation for the use of
public services and as a punishment. Although Zhang already
faces a fine that could run into the
millions of dollars, Jia said.
People caught breaking China’s family planning policy must
pay a “social compensation fee”
based on their annual income.
Zhang, who directed “House of
Flying Dragons” and “Hero,”
admitted Sunday to having three
children with his wife, Chen
Ting. Local authorities in the
eastern city of Wuxi, where his
wife is from, said the births came
without approval and before the
two were married.
Holmes defense
wants sanity hearing
to be held in secret
DENVER (AP) — Attorneys for Colorado theater
shooting defendant James
Holmes are asking the judge to
bar the public and media from
hearing pretrial testimony from
the psychiatrist who evaluated
Holmes’ sanity. A motion filed
Friday says Holmes’ right to an
impartial jury would be harmed
if the public hears the testimony. The judge hasn’t ruled
on the request.
Holmes pleaded not guilty
by reason of insanity to charges
of killing 12 people and injuring
70 in a suburban Denver movie
theater in 2012. Prosecutors
are seeking the death penalty.
Holmes underwent a mandatory
sanity evaluation last summer.
The conclusions haven’t been
made public, but prosecutors
are asking for further evaluation.
The two sides are scheduled to
argue the request at a hearing
later this month. The defense
wants that hearing held in secret.
