orld Health Organization (WHO) oﬃcials
cautioned late last week that “many thousands” of infants infected with Zika virus
could suﬀer neurological abnormalities and said
nations dealing with an outbreak need to watch for
problems beyond the widely reported cases of microcephaly.
These include spasticity, seizures, irritability,
feeding diﬃculties, eyesight problems and evidence
of severe brain abnormalities.
Health oﬃcials had previously concluded that
Zika infection in pregnant women was a cause of microcephaly in babies, a rare birth defect characterized
by unusually small heads and potentially severe developmental problems. They now believe the range
of potential neurological problems in infants could
be much wider.
In an editorial published in a WHO bulletin on
Friday, experts said 37 countries and territories in the
Americas are now dealing with Zika, which is mainly spread by mosquitoes, as well as unprotected sex
with an infected man. In Brazil, the country hardest
hit so far, authorities have confirmed more than 1,400
cases of microcephaly believed to be linked to Zika.
“With such spread, it is possible that many thousands of infants will incur moderate to severe neurological disabilities,” the editorial said.
“Existing evidence and unpublished data shared
with WHO highlight the wider range of congenital
abnormalities probably associated with the acquisition of Zika virus infection in utero,” the editorial
said.
The organization called for routine surveillance
systems and research eﬀorts to be expanded to include a larger population than simply children with
microcephaly.
U.S. oﬃcials are girding for local outbreaks, especially in southern states such as Florida and Texas, as
summer mosquito season gets under way.
Local transmission is already present in Puerto
Rico, where oﬃcials have predicted there will be
hundreds of thousands of cases. Other reported U.S.
cases have involved people who had traveled to Zika-hit areas.
WHO has also said there is strong scientific consensus that Zika can also cause Guillain-Barre, a rare
neurological syndrome that can cause temporary paralysis in adults.

Report: Island Pension System Headed for
Insolvency at Current Contribution Levels
A
By The STAR Staﬀ
recent Retirement Systems Administration audit revealed that the island’s largest retirement plan will
run out of money by 2017, according to a
news report published by Bloomberg late
last week.
The report adds that if contributions to
the retirement system do not increase, the
Retirement Systems Administration will
become insolvent.
The audit, conducted by KPMG LLP
for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014,
published in the Municipal Securities
Rulemaking Board’s website last Thursday, indicates that the Retirement Systems
Administration only has 0.27 percent of
funds to cover $30.2 billion it has promised
to current and future retirees.
If no contributions are made to the
system’s coﬀers by the next fiscal year that
begins on July 1, 2017, the retirement systems will become insolvent, Bloomberg
added.
The Puerto Rico House of Representatives is evaluating a bill that would amend
Law 447 of 1951 to create an entity ascribed
to the Retirement Systems Administration
that would have the authority to originate
personal loans to participants and retirees
of the retirement system as a mechanism
to provide more liquidity to the administration.
“If measures are not taken to significantly increase the contributions, the system will become insolvent in fiscal year
2018,” according to the KPMG audit.
Puerto Rico’s government and its
agencies have a $70 billion debt, and it has
to pay government workers payroll each
month, as well as pay retirees and repay
investors. The government has defaulted
on most of its three most recent debt payments.
The U.S. House of Representatives expects to vote this week on a bill that would
create a federal control board to manage
Puerto Rico’s budgets and oversee any
debt restructurings. The board would also
analyze the island’s pension system to address its low funding levels.
“As has been amply disclosed in the
past, the systems’ financial condition
threatens the present and future livelihood of thousands of retirees and pub-
lic employees who have given their lives
to public service,” Pedro R. Ortiz Cortes,
administrator of Puerto Rico’s Judiciary
Retirement System, said in a statement Friday, according to Bloomberg. “At this critical juncture in Puerto Rico’s history, the results announced today highlight the need
for increased attention to the systems’ net
pension liability and long-term funding.”
Bloomberg further reported that the
island’s judiciary pension system had a net
liability of $456 million and a funding level
of 9.2 percent as of June 2014, Ortiz Cortez
said.
Public Hearing Yields Few Insights
into Chronic Ferry Service Woes
By MARIA MIRANDA SIERRA
[email protected]
A
public hearing was held late last week
in response to the wave of complaints
over delays in ferry services to the island municipalities of Vieques and Culebra.
At the hearing, presided over by Sen.
Luis Daniel Rivera Filomeno, Vieques Mayor
Víctor Emeric Catarineau said that of the 11
vessels that the Maritime Transportation Authority (ATM by its Spanish acronym) has in
its fleet, “only three ferries work, at most.”
The mayor asked why ferries undergoing maintenance or being repaired “take so
long to resume service.”
“For example, the ferry called the ‘Isleño’ left the dry dock at the end of March and
even two months later it still hasn’t resumed
service. This is a pattern, not an exception,”
Emeric Catarineau said, adding that the ferries Vieques II, Atlantis and Fajardo II “have
remained abandoned for years.”
Following the statements by the Vieques
mayor, Rivera Filomeno asked ATM Executive Director José Ruiz: “How much longer
are the residents of the island municipalities
going to be subjected to this ordeal?”
“Especially those on the island of Vieques,
which is where most of the passenger demand exists. Why is Tourism [the Puerto Rico
Tourism Co.] promoting Flamenco Beach, the
sixth most beautiful beach in the world, if you
[ATM] can not guarantee [ferry] service?” Rivera Filomeno said. “People arrive in Fajardo
at 2 a.m. and at 7 a.m. they tell the people that
everything was sold out months ago. This can
not continue this way.”
Ruiz said two ferries, Cayo Largo and Isla
Bonita, “are currently undergoing repairs and
will resume service to passengers between
the second and fourth week of July.”
“Another ferry, Culebra II, is also undergoing regulatory inspections and will resume
service to passengers by the end of July,” Ruiz
said.
Rivera Filomeno said that the issue of inadequate ferry service to Vieques and Culebra is a never ending one.
“Certainly since the beginning of the
[current] four-year [government] term we
have been working on diﬀerent alternatives
and options, knowing the government’s fiscal
reality, we are all aware of this,” Rivera Filomeno said. “I am happy that the Vieques mayor
has said that service oﬀered by the ATM has
improved in the past year. We will follow up
on this issue … and we will not give up until the services oﬀered are of the quality and
punctuality the people of Vieques and Culebra, and local and foreign tourists who visit
the island municipalities deserve.”

Bernier: PR Shouldn’t Have
to Pay for Control Board
By JOHN McPHAUL
[email protected]
P
opular Democratic Party (PDP) President
David Bernier said late last week he was
opposed to the government of Puerto
Rico having to pay for the federal fiscal control
board contemplated by Congress.
A report by the Congressional Budget
Oﬃce (CBO) reported that the government of
Puerto Rico would have to pay for the board.
The CBO calculated that the initial cost of
the board would be approximately $370 million and that cost of implementation could
reach several hundred million dollars additionally.
“To add to the insult that a non-elected
body would bring down our democracy, the
ill-named PROMESA [Puerto Rico Oversight,
Supervision and Economic Stability Act] bill
would demand that the island pay for the
costs of the federal fiscal control board,” the
PDP gubernatorial candidate said, noting the
“hundreds of millions more that will come
from government coﬀers to pay for servicing
the [island] retirement system.
“Those who say this bill protects the retirees are mistaken again,” Bernier said. “It is
also ironic that the additional cost of the board
is approximately the same as the quantity of
the bonds the Government Development Bank
did not pay on May 1.”
The PDP president said that another contradiction of the bill is that “this board is im-
Baltimore Police to
Recruit in Puerto Rico
By The STAR Staﬀ
T
he Baltimore Police Department will send 11 oﬃcials to Puerto Rico this
month to recruit bilingual oﬃcers
in an eﬀort to reduce vacancies
and improve communication with
the city’s growing Hispanic population, according to a report by
The Baltimore Sun.
The recruiting trip will take
place from June 19 to June 30.
The city has made a priority of
recruiting oﬃcers who are fluent
in English and Spanish for some
years, the report said, in an attempt
to keep up with a swelling Hispanic population. The Sun reported
that from 2000 to 2010, Baltimore’s
immigrant population grew from
about 30,000 to about 45,000 residents, many of them from Latin
America, according to a 2014 city
report on the trend. Census data
from 2014 put the number of Hispanic or Latino residents in the
city at 27,751, representing about
4.5 percent of the city’s population, the Sun said.
The Baltimore PD made a similar trip to Puerto Rico in 2006,
an eﬀort that yielded 23 Puerto Ricans in the following year’s recruiting class, including some island
recruits with previous law enforcement experience, according to
the Sun.

then it is obliged to pay money it does not have

Canóvanas Certified ‘Tsunami Ready’
By MARIA MIRANDA SIERRA
[email protected]
A
fter implementing an intense working
plan and complying with assessments
carried out by federal agencies, the
municipality of Canóvanas has been certified
by the Tsunami Ready program, mayor Lornna Soto announced late last week.
“Today we celebrate another achievement
in the municipality of Canóvanas, after we obtained the donation of the lands at the former
Central Azucarera last month, where we are
developing an Ecotourism Park,” Soto said
in a news release. “Today with much joy we
announce that we have been able to become
designated as Tsunami Ready.”
Soto also said the federal government -for the first time -- has approved the municipality to administer 10 Head Start centers that
serve 400 children. At the same time, the Education Department accepted “our proposal
and transferred two public schools for Canóvanas to run as municipal schools.”
Regarding the Tsunami Ready designation, Soto said that what is most important
is that “the designation comes in the onset of
hurricane season and when just recently occurrences of minor earthquakes have been
reported on the island.”
The Tsunami Ready Program, developed
by the National Weather Service (NWS), is
designed to help cities, towns, counties, universities and other large sites in coastal areas
reduce the potential for disastrous tsunamirelated consequences.
Since June 2001, Tsunami Ready has helped
community leaders and emergency managers
strengthen their local operations. Tsunami
Ready communities are better prepared to
save lives through better planning, education
and awareness, the NWS said. Communities
have fewer fatalities and property damage if
they plan before a tsunami arrives. No community is tsunami proof, but Tsunami Ready
can help minimize loss of communities.
“Although Canóvanas is not a coastal
town, the federal agencies have required us to
participate due to the closeness and possible
impact through rivers and flooding, especially
in the lower parts of the Torrecilla Alta (Pueblo
Indio) and a small area in the San Isidro sector
(Parcelas Viejas),” Soto noted.
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Caribbean Tsunami Center Manager Christa Von Hillebrandt has said the fact
that there have been no major earthquakes in
Puerto Rico since 1918 could make islanders
complacent, but it could happen any day at
any time. Therefore Von Hillebrandt stresses
the importance of residents being ready.
The most violent earthquake recorded in
Puerto Rico was in Mayagüez on Oct. 11, 1918,
when a 7.5 quake caused a 20-foot tidal wave

that washed over towns on the northwest
coast, killing 32 people and destroying more
than 300 homes in Aguadilla alone. In all, 116
people were killed and millions of dollars in
damages were reported.
Von Hillebrandt said that experts don’t
know when an earthquake is going to occur,
but the important thing is the threat is real.
“Puerto Rico is a very tiny island surrounded by active faults and an area where
the Caribbean Plate and the North American
Plate are colliding and moving along two
centimeters a year,” Von Hillebrandt said. “A
lot of stress has been accumulating and the
small earthquakes we have gotten have done
Lornna Soto
nothing to release the energy of a larger earthquake.”
Puerto Rico is classified as the third-highest risk seismic zone in the U.S. and its territories, behind Alaska and San Francisco.
Partisan Pols Set Aside
Diﬀerences to Support Clinton
By JOHN McPHAUL
[email protected]
S
tatehood and Popular Democratic Party leaders put their diﬀerences aside
late last week to unite in publicly endorsing Hillary Clinton in her run for the
Democratic Party nomination for president
of the United States.
Hillary Clinton
Gov. Alejandro García Padilla, Resident Commissioner and New Progressive
Party (NPP) gubernatorial hopeful Pedro
Pierluisi, fellow NPP gubernatorial hopeful Ricky Rosselló, Democratic National
Committee (DNC) members Luisette Cabañas Colón and Kenneth McClintock, and
Puerto Rico Democratic Party president
Roberto Prats announced their support
for Clinton to be the next president of the
United States.
“I want to express my complete support for a candidate with vast experience
in her political career, but above all, a candidate who knows Puerto Rico,” the governor said. “Hillary Clinton has always demonstrated interest in solving the problems
of our country and [supporting] the well
being of Puerto Ricans.”
Pierluisi said his experience in the U.S.
Congress has allowed him to see “firsthand how the support of Hillary Clinton
for Puerto Rico makes the diﬀerence.”
“She was an excellent secretary of state,
an excellent senator and always an ally of
Puerto Rico,” Pierluisi said. “She is the best
prepared person in the race. Puerto Rico
needs a president like Hillary Clinton.”
Rosselló called Clinton “a friend of
Puerto Rico who has always had the interest and the commitment to resolve the
problems of the island.”
“I supported her in 2008 and I support her now,” Rosselló said. “Hillary has
always fought for equality for the island on
important subjects like health and women.
She is committed. Amid the crisis that
Puerto Rico confronts, we need someone
in the White House who knows the depth
of the problems we face. I know that she
will listen to our arguments to develop a
collaboration with the federal government
for the benefit of Puerto Rico.”

Summer Free Meals Program to Benefit Thousands of Island Youth
By MARIA MIRANDA SIERRA
[email protected]
T
his summer, thousands of children and teenagers, ages one to
18, will benefit from free breakfast,
lunch and snacks as part of the Nutritional Summer initiative oﬀered by the
Education Department’s Summer Food
Services Program (PSAV by its Spanish
acronym) with the cooperation of other
government agencies such as the Agriculture and Family Departments and the
Public Housing Administration.
“Everyone knows the diﬃcult prevailing economic situation in many of our
families and the concerns that arise about
the well being of our children this summer,” Education Secretary Rafael Román
said at news conference at the Julio Sellés
Solá Elementary School in San Juan late
last week. “Given this scenario, the Summer Food Services Program becomes the
best alternative for bringing financial relief to our citizens and to guarantee that
our children, who many times the only
nutritious meal they receive during the
day is the one provided to them in the
public school cafeteria, can continue eating nutritious and healthy foods during
this time.”
The Education chief said that through
this initiative, fathers, mothers and caregivers of children in both private and
public schools, as well as government,
municipal, community, faith-based and
non-profit institutions, among others,
could be eligible for the services oﬀered
by this program that will run through
August. Román said the food services
include up to two daily meals per participant. In general, the services oﬀer
breakfast and lunch, although on occasion participants could receive snacks as
well.
Minerva Ortiz, director of the State
Nutrition and Food Services Agency (AESAN by its Spanish acronym, an agency
under the Education Department), noted
that last summer some 4,643,817 food rations were served in more than 3,000 locations across the island. This represented daily benefits for more than 110,000
minors in June and more than 30,000 in
July 2015.
“This summer there are more than
600 school cafeterias oﬀering free food,”
Ortiz said. “In addition, we have certified close to 2,400 places, such as summer camps, churches, among others,
where these services will be provided
as well for interested families. We hope
to be able to surpass the participation
rate we had in 2015, which at the same
time increased to 5.3 percent, positioning
Puerto Rico in eighth place among the 50
states and three U.S. territories for oﬀering summer food services.”
Both Ortiz and Román stressed that
any child, ages one to 18, can receive free
meals even if they are not in summer
camp or some other organized activity.
“The majority of the minors who
benefit from this service, traditionally, are those participating in summer
camp,” Ortiz said. “Nevertheless, we

Rafael Román
want to emphasize that any child among
the eligible ages can receive these meals.
… The parent or caregiver only has to
coordinate with the school cafeteria or
entity that oﬀers these meals to receive
the food …”
The free meals can also be obtained
in other ways: through the traditional
method, in which minors in summer
camp receive the meals at a designated
school cafeteria; the satellite service, in
which adults or groups that are interested coordinate the pick-up of the preboxed meals to oﬀer them in a planned
activity; food trucks that are AESAN-certified sponsors and that take the meals to
places such as beaches or parks so that
all children and teens in the area can enjoy a nutritious free meal.
These eﬀorts to promote this benefit, which is estimated to save families
between $200 and $500 a month in the
purchase of food, were joined by Public Housing Administration Secretary
Gabriel López, Family Secretary Idalia
Colón and Agriculture Secretary Myrna
Comas, who concurred that the initiative also serves to combat poverty and
obesity, improve families’ nutrition and
contribute to the growth of the local agricultural sector. According to the socioeconomic data validated by AESAN, 82
percent of public school students and 28
percent of private school students live
under poverty levels.
López noted that in 2015, 121 public
housing projects participated in the pro-
gram and some 8,316 minors benefited
from it.
Meanwhile, U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack announced late last
week during a visit to the island that
Puerto Rico will receive $25 million more
a year to pay for public school meals, as
well as federal resources to help strengthen rural communities amid a financial
crisis, the Associated Press reported.
Vilsack is the latest top federal oﬃcial to visit Puerto Rico in recent months
as it struggles to emerge from a decadelong economic slump and faces $70 billion of public debt.
“It will certainly take some of the
pressure oﬀ,” Vilsack said of the 17 percent increase in school meal reimbursement rates, according to AP.
Vilsack also noted that the federal
agency selected Puerto Rico’s eastern region as a federal Promise Zone, which in
part gives local communities an advantage when seeking grants or other federal assistance, according to the AP report.
Puerto Rico imports 85 percent of the
food it consumes, a fact reiterated by Vilsack.
“I think there is incredible opportunity for Puerto Rico to reverse [this statistic],” he said, adding that crops should
be grown not just for food and fiber, but
for fuel and energy sources.
Puerto Rico was the site of a federal
pilot program that allowed people enrolled in a nutrition assistance program
to buy food at participating farmers market with their cards. Vilsack said the program has been made permanent in part
to support local farmers, AP reported.
Island Agriculture chief Comas applauded those eﬀorts and said they
would help boost steps taken by her
own agency, such as increasing the percentage of local products used in school
meals from 25 to 60 percent.

Summer Program can find the nearest provider at the program’s website

Trump’s Personal Attacks on Judge Spark Concerns from Republicans
T
he federal judge who’s hearing a Trump
University lawsuit is “a hater of Donald
Trump” and ought to be removed from
the case. So says Donald Trump, in just one of
the recent comments by the presumptive Republican presidential nominee that have legal experts worrying about his commitment
to an independent judiciary and his views on
presidential powers.
Donald Trump
In the midst of a heated presidential
campaign, Trump has expressed unusually
personal criticism — focusing on the judge’s
Mexican heritage — though his lawyers have
never actually sought to have the judge removed.
His comments are bringing overwhelming disapproval from politicians and lawyers in his own Republican Party. On Friday, House Speaker Paul Ryan said of the
statements about the judge: “It’s reasoning I
don’t relate to, I completely disagree with the
thinking behind that.”
And conservative legal scholars say
Trump’s statements reinforce their worries
that he seems to think he can do whatever he
wants and disregard rules and conventions
that constrain other political candidates.
“The concern is that he would act unbounded in the presidency, in a way that
doesn’t follow the law,” said John McGinnis,
a Northwestern University law professor.
Criticism of the Supreme Court and the
rest of the federal judiciary has been a regular feature of recent Republican presidential
campaigns, including proposals to strip federal judges of lifetime tenure and reduce the
budgets of liberal-leaning courts.
Those ideas, though, did not single out
judges or focus on race, ethnicity or religion.
“Here it’s just about Trump,” said Case
Western Reserve University law professor
Jonathan Adler.
More troubling, Adler said, is that the
recent comments seem to fit a pattern of intemperate remarks Trump has made during
the campaign.
“He said he would give military oﬃcers
unlawful orders and expect them to comply,” Adler said, referring to Trump’s claim
that the military would follow his orders to
torture suspected terrorists. Trump has since
backed oﬀ on that.
“He has repeatedly given indications
he has no appreciation for the rule of law,”
Adler said.
Trump made his first reported comments about U.S. District Judge Gonzalo
Curiel in February, linking Curiel’s Mexican
heritage with what Trump described as the
judge’s “tremendous hostility” over Trump’s
plan to build a wall along the Mexican border. Trump has variously referred to Curiel
as Spanish, Mexican and Hispanic and has
called the judge “a hater of Donald Trump.”
He told The Wall Street Journal that Curiel
has “an absolute conflict of interest” because
of his heritage as well as “an inherent conflict
of interest” because Trump wants to build
the border wall.
Curiel is a native of Indiana whose parents emigrated from Mexico. He received undergraduate and law degrees from Indiana
University and served as a federal prosecutor and a judge in the California state judicial
system before being nominated to the federal
bench by President Barack Obama in 2011.
Trump University is the target of two
lawsuits in San Diego and one in New York
that accuse the business of fleecing students
with unfulfilled promises to teach secrets of
success in real estate. Trump has maintained
that customers were overwhelmingly satisfied.
The school emerged as an issue in a February Republican presidential debate, after
which Trump made his first comments about
Curiel.
The judge seemingly raised Trump’s ire
anew last week when he ordered the release
of documents that had been sealed. Trump’s
campaign and private lawyers handling the
lawsuits did not respond to requests for comment on Friday.
Trump’s contention that Curiel is biased
against him because of Trump’s border plan
is “ridiculous,” said Josh Blackman, a young
conservative law professor at the South Texas
College of Law in Houston.
“If that’s the new standard for recusal,
every judge in the federal judiciary who has
some ethnicity or religion or race that aﬀects
a case has to recuse,” Blackman said.
American Bar Association president Paulette Brown said personal criticism of a judge
undermines judicial independence.
“Anyone running for the highest oﬃce
in the land should understand that the independence of the judiciary is essential for an
eﬀective and orderly government and justice
system,” Brown said.
Federal judges have repeatedly rebuﬀed
calls to step aside from cases over race, religion and ethnicity. U.S. District Judge Paul
Borman, who is Jewish, turned down a request to withdraw from a case of a Palestinian immigrant accused of lying about her role
in a fatal terrorist attack. “Like every one of
my colleagues on the bench, I have a history
and a heritage, but neither interferes with my
ability to administer impartial justice,” Borman said.
He later did step aside from the case, af-
ter discovering his family had an investment
in the Jerusalem supermarket the woman
helped bomb in 1969. Financial interests often are involved when judges withdraw.
The prospect of a choice between Trump
and Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton
leaves some conservative scholars cold.
Former federal appeals court judge Michael McConnell, an appointee of President
George W. Bush, said he is not encouraged
by the behavior of the leading candidate of
either party, citing Clinton’s troubles over the
private email server she used when she was
secretary of state.
“They both seem to think they’re above
the law. Trump is much cruder and more
personal and vitriolic and quotable, but the
fundamental question is whether our leaders believe that the law applies to them,” said
McConnell, who teaches constitutional law
at Stanford Law School.

A Universal Basic Income Is a Poor Tool to Fight Poverty
By EDUARDO PORTER
W
hy doesn’t the government just give everybody
money?
Figure out a reasonable amount — the oﬃcial poverty line amounts to about $25,000 for a family of four; a fulltime job at $15 an hour would provide about $30,000 a year —
and hand every adult a monthly check. The minimum-wage
worker stretching to make it to payday, the single mother balancing child care and a job — everybody would get the same
thing.
Poverty would be over, at a stroke.
Being universal — that is, for the homeless and the masters of the universe alike — the program would be free of the
cumbersome assessments required to determine eligibility. It
would also escape the stigma typically attached to programs
for the poor.
And it would be politically secure. Programs for the poor
are often maligned as poor programs. Indeed, defunding antipoverty programs rarely carries political consequences because the poor rarely vote. It’s another story entirely when
everybody benefits.
The idea of universal basic income sounds extravagant,
right? Well, the Finns and even the Swiss are thinking about
it. On Sunday, Swiss citizens will vote in a referendum on
whether to hand out 30,000 francs a year — just over $30,000
— to every citizen, regardless of wealth, work status or whatever.
In the United States, the idea has the support of thinkers
on the left like Andrew Stern, former president of the Service
Employees International Union. Some thinkers on the right,
too, have managed to overcome their general distaste for
government welfare to support the idea. This month, Charles
Murray of the American Enterprise Institute will publish an
updated version of his plan to replace welfare as we know it
with a dollop of $10,000 in after-tax income for every American above the age of 21.
Readers of my conversation with a fellow Times columnist, Farhad Manjoo, a few weeks ago know that I think the
idea is, let’s say, poorly thought out. Given its resilience, however, it is worth taking apart more methodically.
Its first hurdle is arithmetic. As Robert Greenstein of the
left-leaning Center on Budget and Policy Priorities put it, a
check of $10,000 to each of 300 million Americans would cost
more than $3 trillion a year.
Where would that money come from? It amounts to nearly all the tax revenue collected by the federal government.
Nothing in the history of this country suggests Americans are
ready to add that kind of burden to their current taxes. Cut it
by half to $5,000? That wouldn’t even clear the poverty line.
And it would still cost as much as the entire federal budget
except forSocial Security, Medicare, defense and interest payments.
Thinkers on the right solve the how-to-pay-for-it problem simply bydefunding everything else the government
provides, programs as varied as food stamps and Social Security. That, Mr. Greenstein observes, would actually increase
poverty. It would redistribute wealth upward, taking money

targeted to the poor and sharing it with everybody, including
you and me.
As Lawrence H. Summers, the former Treasury secretary
and onetime top economic adviser to President Obama, told
me, paying a $5,000 universal basic income to the 250 million
nonpoor Americans would cost about $1.25 trillion a year. “It
would be hard to finance that in a way that wouldn’t burden
the programs that help the poor,” he said.
The popularity of the universal basic income stems from
a fanciful diagnosis born in Silicon Valley of the challenges
faced by the working class across industrialized nations: one
that sees declining employment rates and stagnant wages and
concludes that robots are about to take over all the jobs in the
world.
That might lie in our future — I will devote my next column to discussion of such a universe. But it’s certainly not
our present. Men at their prime working ages, 25 to 54, have
been falling out of the labor force since the 1960s. Still, today
more than eight out of every 10 Americans in their prime are
working.
Work, as Lawrence Katz of Harvard once pointed out, is
not just what people do for a living. It is a source of status. It
organizes people’s lives. It oﬀers an opportunity for progress.
None of this can be replaced by a check.
A universal basic income has many undesirable features,
starting with its non-negligible disincentive to work. Almost
a quarter of American households make less than $25,000. It
would be hardly surprising if a $10,000 check each for mom
and dad sapped their desire to work.
A universal income divorces assistance from need. Aid is
fixed, regardless of whatever else is going on. If our experience with block grants serves as precedent, it is most likely to
become less generous over time.
To libertarians this will sound more like a feature than a
flaw, but replacing everything in the safety net with a check
would limit the scope of government assistance in damaging
ways. Say we know the choice of neighborhood makes a diﬀerence to the development of poor children. Housing vouchers
might lead them to move into a better one. A monthly check
would probably not.
And those who think a universal benefit would be more
politically resilient than a means-tested one might stop to ponder the unceasing chatter about trimming Social Security.
It is undoubtedly true that the American safety net needs
fixing. Fifty million Americans live in poverty. Sixteen million
live on the equivalent of $8.60 a day. Providing more income security for the struggling working class would not only produce
a more equitable society, it would also increase spending and
improve economic growth.
In this world, though, where work remains an important
social, psychological and economic anchor, there are better
tools to help than giving every American a monthly check.
How about subsidized employment? The government
could subsidize jobs as varied as school repairs and fixing potholes. “This would provide employment while doing things
that improve productivity and improve people’s lives,” Mr.
Greenstein said.
Perhaps we could expand the earned-income tax credit, the
country’s most successful antipoverty tool, which increases the
earnings of low-income workers. Or take the idea pushed for
years by Edmund Phelps from Columbia University: Instead of
providing a subsidy to workers that phases out as their income
rises, why not subsidize workers’ wages instead?
As Mr. Summers told a gathering last week at the Brookings
Institution, “a universal basic income is one of those ideas that
the longer you look at it, the less enthusiastic you become.”

In Trump Takedown, Clinton Finds Her Message
H
illary Clinton may have found her message.
Wrapped in the guise of a foreign policy
speech, Clinton delivered a political thrashing of
Donald Trump late last week that was unquestionably a standout moment for a candidate who has often struggled to focus her White House campaign.
Clinton’s sharply targeted remarks on Thursday served notice on the presumptive Republican
nominee that she’s prepared for a bruising general
election fight, one that’s centered squarely on his
competency to serve as commander in chief.
She cast Trump as dangerously thin-skinned,
someone who might plunge the nation into war
over a perceived slight. She repeatedly referred to
her White House rival by his first name only — a
knowing dig at a billionaire businessman whose closest advisers reverentially call him “Mr. Trump.”
For Clinton, who has acknowledged her weakness as a campaigner, it was a confident and welltimed performance. Though she has struggled for
months to shake Democratic primary rival Bernie
Sanders, Clinton is poised to clinch the nomination
in the coming days and secure her place in history
as the first woman ever put forward by a major U.S.
political party.
But the long primary season has come at a cost.
Sanders has been unrelenting in his criticism of
Clinton’s judgment and transparency, evaporating
much of the goodwill she accrued with Americans
during the four years she spent outside the political
arena as secretary of state.
Some of Clinton’s own supporters also worry
that she’s failed to articulate a clear rationale for
her own candidacy and will struggle to counteract
Trump’s ability to command the spotlight.
Clinton’s takedown of Trump on Thursday
should quiet those critics, at least for now.
Gone was the wonky, meandering policy speech
Clinton has delivered to lukewarm reviews in primary campaign appearances. Instead, she was focused and direct, lacing her remarks on the Islamic
Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton gives
an address on national security, Thursday, in San Diego,
Calif.
State group and Iranian nuclear accord with bumper sticker-worthy slogans about Trump.
“This isn’t reality television. This is actual reality,” Clinton said as she chided the real estate mogul
and political novice for his lack of experience on the
world stage.
And in a line likely to be repeated by Clinton
and Democrats between now and November, she
warned that electing Trump would be a “historic
mistake” for the nation.
To be sure, Clinton will face tough questions
in the months ahead about her own foreign policy
record. She was a leading proponent of U.S. military engagement in Libya, which succeeded in
ousting a brutal dictator but left the country vulnerable to extremist groups. And she’ll continue
to have to answer for her vote in support of the
Iraq war, which Sanders has repeatedly held up
as a sign of poor judgment. He did so again on
Thursday.
But the speech suggested Clinton will be far
more at ease responding to a Republican challenger
than she has been at confronting Sanders in the Democratic primary, where she’s had to avoid turning
oﬀ his young, liberal supporters.
On Thursday, she made no attempt to appeal to
Trump’s backers or even show the slightest sign of
respect for the Republican nominee.
The result? Clinton succeeded in generating the
same kind of attention Trump receives for his frequent rallies and news conferences: Her remarks
were widely carried on the television news networks. Despite Clinton’s standing as the Democratic front-runner, that is a basic benchmark she has
struggled to reach. Trump has no such problem.
Trump himself appeared to be watching Clinton, too. He took to Twitter midway through the
speech to remark that his likely Democratic opponent “doesn’t even look presidential.”
There was notable silence from many other Republicans, some of whom made similar arguments
about Trump’s temperament and inexperience during the GOP primary. A handful of Republicans
even praised the likely Democratic nominee.
“I have to say, Hillary is giving a hell of a good
speech on national security — taking down the Donald while making a convincing case,” Eliot Cohen,
a foreign policy oﬃcial for Presidents George H.W.
Bush and George W. Bush, wrote on Twitter.
For Clinton’s strong showing to have lasting
impact, it will need to be more than just a one-oﬀ
moment.
Some of Trump’s primary rivals had fleeting
success in rattling the supremely confident businessman and in raising issues that appeared to give
voters momentary pause. But those arguments were
rarely made in a sustained fashion and in some cases came too late to change the trajectory of the Republican race.
If Clinton plans to avoid those same mistakes,
she now has the message she needs in hand.
Businessman to Challenge Veteran South Florida Congresswoman
V
eteran GOP Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen is getting a well-financed Democratic challenger for her South Florida House seat.
Businessman Scott Fuhrman announced Friday he’s running for Florida’s 19th congressional
district, outlining his plans in a two-minute cam-
paign video . He talks about running his family’s
juice bottling company, being a husband and father, and making “some bad decisions” as a younger man.
The 34-year-old says “I drove too fast. I raced
cars, and I broke the law.” He adds “too many politi-
cians hide behind the truth. I won’t be one of them.”
He acknowledged his campaign will be “an uphill
battle” In an interview with the Miami Herald, which
first reported his entry into the congressional contest.
He said he’ll spend $250,000 of his own money to fund
his campaign.

Trump Could Threaten US
Rule of Law, Scholars Say
D
onald J. Trump’s blustery attacks on
the press, complaints about the judicial system and bold claims of presidential power collectively sketch out a constitutional worldview that shows contempt
for the First Amendment, the separation of
powers and the rule of law, legal experts
across the political spectrum say.
Even as much of the Republican political establishment lines up behind its presumptive nominee, many conservative and
libertarian legal scholars warn that electing
Mr. Trump is a recipe for a constitutional
crisis.
“Who knows what Donald Trump with
a pen and phone would do?” asked Ilya
Shapiro, a lawyer with the libertarian Cato
Institute.
With five months to go before Election
Day, Mr. Trump has already said he would
“loosen” libel laws to make it easier to sue
news organizations. He has threatened to
sic federal regulators on his critics. He has
encouraged rough treatment of demonstrators.
His proposal to bar Muslims from entry into the country tests the Constitution’s
guarantees of religious freedom, due process and equal protection.
And, in what was a tipping point for
some, he attacked Judge Gonzalo P. Curiel
of the Federal District Court in San Diego,
who is overseeing two class actions against
Trump University.
Mr. Trump accused the judge of bias,
falsely said he was Mexican and seemed to
issue a threat.
“They ought to look into Judge Curiel,
because what Judge Curiel is doing is a total disgrace,” Mr. Trump said. “O.K.? But we
will come back in November. Wouldn’t that
be wild if I am president and come back and
do a civil case?”
David Post, a retired law professor who
now writes for the Volokh Conspiracy, a
conservative-leaning law blog, said those
comments had crossed a line.
“This is how authoritarianism starts,
with a president who does not respect the
judiciary,” Mr. Post said. “You can criticize
the judicial system, you can criticize individual cases, you can criticize individual judges. But the president has to be clear that the
law is the law and that he enforces the law.
That is his constitutional obligation.”
“If he is signaling that that is not his
position, that’s a very serious constitutional
problem,” Mr. Post said.
Beyond the attack on judicial independence is a broader question of Mr. Trump’s
commitment to the separation of powers
and to the principles of federalism enshrined in the Constitution. Randy E. Barnett, a
law professor at Georgetown and an architect of the first major challenge to President
Obama’s health care law, said he had grave
doubts on both fronts.
“You would like a president with some
idea about constitutional limits on presidential powers, on congressional powers, on federal powers,” Professor Barnett said, “and I
doubt he has any awareness of such limits.”
Republican leaders say they are confident that Mr. Trump would respect the
rule of law if elected. “He’ll have a White
House counsel,” Senator Mitch McConnell
of Kentucky, the majority leader, told Hugh
Hewitt, the radio host, on Monday. “There
will be others who point out there’s certain
things you can do and you can’t do.”
Senator John McCain, Republican of
Arizona, who has become a reluctant supporter of Mr. Trump, said he did not believe that the nation would be in danger under
his presidency.
“I still believe we have the institutions
of government that would restrain someone who seeks to exceed their constitutional
obligations,” Mr. McCain said. “We have
a Congress. We have the Supreme Court.
We’re not Romania.”
“Our institutions, including the press,
are still strong enough to prevent” unconstitutional acts, he said.
Mr. Post said that view was too sanguine, given the executive branch’s practical
primacy. “The president has all the power
with respect to enforcing the law,” he said.
“There’s only one of those three branches
that actually has the guns in its hands, and
that’s the executive.”
Republican oﬃcials have criticized Mr.
Obama for what they have called his unconstitutional expansion of executive power.
But some legal scholars who share that view
say the problem under a President Trump
would be worse.
“I don’t think he cares about separation of powers at all,” said Richard Epstein,
a fellow at the Hoover Institution who also
teaches at New York University and the University of Chicago.
President George W. Bush “often went
beyond what he should have done,” Professor Epstein said. “I think Obama’s been
much worse on that issue pretty consistently,
and his underlings have been even more so.
But I think Trump doesn’t even think there’s
an issue to worry about. He just simply says
whatever I want to do I will do.”
Mr. Trump has boasted that he will
use Mr. Obama’s actions as precedent for
his own expansive assertions of executive
power.
“He’s led the way, to be honest with
you,” he said in January on “Meet the Press,”
referring to Mr. Obama’s program to spare
millions of immigrants in the country unlawfully from deportation. “But I’m going to
use them much better, and they’re going to
serve a much better purpose than what he’s
done.”
But Mr. Post said there was a diﬀerence between Mr. Obama’s view of executive
power and that of Mr. Trump. “Whatever
you think of Obama’s position on immigration, he is willing to submit to the courts,”
he said. “There is no suggestion that he will
disobey if the courts rule against him.”
Several law professors said they were
less sure about Mr. Trump, citing the actions of another populist, President Andrew
Jackson, who refused to enforce an 1832 Supreme Court decision arising from a clash
between Georgia and the Cherokee Nation.
“I can easily see a situation in which he
would take the Andrew Jackson line,” Professor Epstein said, referring to a probably
apocryphal comment attributed to Jackson
about Chief Justice John Marshall: “John
Marshall has made his decision; now let
him enforce it.”
There are other precedents, said John
C. Yoo, a law professor at the University of
California, Berkeley, who took an expansive
view of executive power as a lawyer in the
Bush administration. “The only two other
presidents I can think of who were so hostile to judges on an individual level and to
the judiciary as a whole would be Thomas
Jeﬀerson and Franklin Roosevelt,” he said.
Both of those presidents chafed at what
they saw as excessive judicial power. “But
they weren’t doing it because they had cases
before those judges as individuals,” Professor Yoo said. “They had legitimate separation-of-powers fights between the presidency and the judiciary. Trump is lashing out
because he has a lawsuit in a private capacity, which is much more disturbing.”
Other legal scholars said they were worried about Mr. Trump’s commitment to the
First Amendment. He has taken particular
aim at The Washington Post and its owner,
Jeﬀ Bezos, the founder of Amazon.
“He owns Amazon,” Mr. Trump said
in February. “He wants political influence
so Amazon will benefit from it. That’s not
right. And believe me, if I become president,
oh do they have problems. They’re going to
have such problems.”
More generally, Mr. Trump has discussed revising libel laws to make it easier to
sue over critical coverage.
“I’m going to open up our libel laws so
when they write purposely negative and
horrible and false articles, we can sue them
and win lots of money,” Mr. Trump said in
February. “We’re going to open up those
libel laws. So when The New York Times
writes a hit piece which is a total disgrace or
when The Washington Post, which is there
for other reasons, writes a hit piece, we can
sue them and win money instead of having
no chance of winning because they’re totally protected.”
On one hand, Mr. Trump seemed to misunderstand the scope of presidential power.
Libel is a state-law tort constrained by First
Amendment principles, and a president’s
views do not figure in its application.
On the other hand, said Ilya Somin, a
law professor at George Mason University,
Mr. Trump’s comments betrayed a troubling
disregard for free expression.
“There are very few serious constitutional thinkers who believe public figures
should be able to use libel as indiscriminately
as Trump seems to think they should,” Professor Somin said. “He poses a serious threat
to the press and the First Amendment.”
Many of Mr. Trump’s statements about
legal issues were extemporaneous and resist
conventional legal analysis. Some seemed
to betray ignorance of fundamental legal
concepts, as when he said in a debate that
Senator Ted Cruz of Texas had criticized Mr.
Trump’s sister, a federal appeals court judge,
“for signing a certain bill,” adding for good
measure that Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr.,
while still an appeals court judge, had also
“signed that bill.”

Justice Dept. Backs Fired VA Official in Legal Challenge
T
he Justice Department is siding with a
legal argument by a fired Department
of Veterans Aﬀairs oﬃcial at the center
of a nationwide scandal over long wait times
for veterans seeking medical care and secret
lists covering up the delays.
Sharon Helman, the former director of
the Phoenix VA Health Care System, is suing
the VA to win back her old job. Helman argues in court papers that a key portion of a
2014 law passed in response to the wait-time
scandal is unconstitutional and denies her an
important step to appeal her firing.
Attorney General Loretta Lynch said in a
letter to Congress that the Justice Department
has decided not to contest that element of
Helman’s challenge, essentially agreeing with
her legal position. Still, the Justice Department
will continue fighting against Helman’s reinstatement, Lynch said.
“I note that the scope of this decision is
narrow” and the Justice Department “will
continue to defend the vast bulk of the statute,” Lynch wrote last week to House Majority
Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif.
Helman is serving two years’ probation for failing to disclose more than $19,000
in gifts she received while supervising the
Phoenix hospital where whistleblowers revealed veterans on secret waiting lists faced
scheduling delays of up to a year. As many

to win her old job back.
as 40 veterans died while awaiting care at the
hospital, according to an investigation by the
VA’s oﬃce of inspector general.
McCarthy and other Republicans reacted
with outrage, saying the attorney general’s
failure to defend the 2014 law could make it
easier for Helman — a convicted felon — to
get back her job.
“When Congress passed the Veterans
Choice Act, a key provision allowed for incompetent and indiﬀerent executives whose
inaction allowed veterans to die to be more
easily fired,” McCarthy said in a statement.
“Now, even after the president signed this
provision into law, his administration is refusing to defend this measure of accountability.
This decision by the Obama administration
puts our veterans at further risk.“
Rep. Jeﬀ Miller, chairman of the House
Veterans’ Aﬀairs Committee, said Lynch’s decision was “reckless” and “remarkably hypocritical given the fact that President Obama
enthusiastically supported this law.”
The eﬀect of Lynch’s action is clear, said
Miller, R-Fla.: “It undermines very modest
reforms to our broken civil service system
supported in 2014 by the president and an
overwhelming majority of Congress.”
Helman was fired in November 2014, seven months after the wait-time scandal came
to light. The scandal led to the ouster of former
VA Secretary Eric Shinseki and a $16 billion
law overhauling the labyrinthine veterans’
health care system and making it easier to fire
VA employees accused of wrongdoing.
The inspector general found that workers
at the Phoenix VA hospital falsified waiting
lists while their supervisors looked the other
way or even directed it, resulting in chronic
delays for veterans seeking care.
Similar problems were soon discovered
nationwide. Intentional misconduct was substantiated in 51 of 77 completed investigations
into scheduling problems and wait-time manipulation, the inspector general’s oﬃce said
in a February report.
Problems at the VA have aﬀected tens
of thousands of veterans and prompted an
outcry in Congress that continues as lawmakers and agency leaders struggle over how
to improve the agency.
VA Secretary Robert McDonald sparked
widespread outrage last week when he compared long wait times at VA health sites to
waiting in line at Disney theme parks. McDonald later said he regretted the remark, which
lawmakers called insulting and inappropriate.
Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., called the
attorney general’s decision in the Helman
case “shameful” and said it contradicts a statement Obama made when he signed the VA
reform law in August 2014.
“If you engage in an unethical practice, if
you cover up a serious problem, you should
be fired. Period,” Obama said at a signing ceremony at a Virginia military base.
Lynch’s decision “not only undermines
the law that Congress passed and the president supported, but it sends a clear message
that for President Obama and Attorney General Lynch, the sanctity of a federal bureaucrat’s
job is far more important than the health and
well-being of our veterans,” McCain said.
Thunderbirds Pilot Meets Obama Shortly After Ditching Jet
A
Thunderbirds pilot ejected safely as his
fighter jet crashed into a deserted Colorado area after soaring over the Air
Force Academy’s commencement ceremony. A
rescue helicopter then ferried him to a face-toface meeting with President Barack Obama.
Maj. Alex Turner, of Chelmsford, Massachusetts, had just flown over the crowd watching Obama’s commencement address Thursday afternoon when something went wrong
and he was forced to ditch his plane. The jet
skidded a few hundred yards across a grassy
field, leaving a smudgy, gray mark before coming to rest on its belly.
Turner, who has logged more than 270
combat hours over Libya and Iraq, parachuted
safely and was not seriously injured. Lt. Col.
Christopher Hammond, commander of the
Thunderbirds, said that the pilot maneuvered
the plane so it would not crash into a nearby
residential neighborhood.
Turner landed about a half-mile from his
plane and seemed “pretty calm” when fire-
fighters from the nearby town of Security arrived, said Pete Smith, a member of the Security
Fire Department.
“I would have been a little more upset
than he was,” Smith said.
News of the crash broke while Obama’s
motorcade was returning to Peterson Air Force
Base for his flight back to Washington. Turner
ejected about 15 miles south of the Air Force
Academy near Peterson, where Air Force One
was waiting to take oﬀ.
Emergency responders who picked up
Turner in the rescue helicopter brought him to
a spot that happened to be on the president’s
motorcade route back to Air Force One.
White House spokesman Josh Earnest
said the pilot met Obama, and the president
told him it might be a good time to contact his
wife and let her know that he’s OK.
It was one of two crashes Thursday for the
military’s elite fighter jet performance teams.
An oﬃcial in Tennessee said a pilot was killed when his Blue Angels fighter jet crashed,
but no civilians were hurt on the ground. The
Navy’s Blue Angels team was near Nashville
practicing for a scheduled performance this
weekend.
In Colorado, the Thunderbirds had just
finished their traditional performance at the
commencement, screaming overhead as the
graduating oﬃcers tossed their white hats
skyward.
The jets then did multiple fly-bys over the
academy’s football stadium, where the graduation took place, blasting by in tight formations
or looping high overhead.
There was no obvious sign of trouble with
any of the jets during the performance.
Hammond said the problem happened after Turner put the landing gear down.
Justin Payne was working on wallpaper
inside his house when the plane struck the
ground.
“What I heard was a big boom,” Payne
said. “I ran outside. Three or four degrees to the
left and that jet would have hit our house.”
Payne said the fuselage slid about 2,000
feet before coming to rest. He said it appeared the nose was ripped from the rest of the
F-16.
Authorities quickly cordoned oﬀ the area,
and a hazardous materials crew was suiting
up to inspect the site, said Payne, who added
he was ordered to stay inside his house.
Air Force Staﬀ Sgt. Alexander Rodriguez,
a U.S. Air Force firefighter stationed in San Angelo, Texas, who was visiting with his family,
said he raced from his brother’s house after
hearing “a few loud bangs” and saw the plane
gliding close to the ground before impact.
“I started booking straight for the aircraft,” Rodriguez said. “I saw the cockpit was
empty and checked for any fuel hazard —
there was a single fuel leak on the right side. I
heard a ticking noise that indicated something
was still running and I backed oﬀ.”
By then, first responders from Petersen
and Colorado Springs were arriving on the
scene, he said.

Army’s Gay Civilian Leader Calls
His Promotion ‘Remarkable’
A
rmy Secretary Eric Fanning calls his elevation
to the job “remarkable.” Fanning is the first
gay head of a military service branch.
Of his sexuality, Fanning told NBC’s “Today” he
initially preferred to have people talk about his qualifications. But he says, “Now, I embrace it.”
Asked if he’s had to any endure any harsh
treatment at the Pentagon, Fanning says, “Careless
comments, sure.”
But he says he hasn’t needed “to confront anyone.”
The 47-year-old Fanning told NBC his sexuality
“certainly has become more of a story as each rung in
the career has taken place.”
He says he loves his job, but expects he’ll likely
be leaving after the Obama administration ends. Fanning says that by next Jan. 21, “I imagine myself on a
beach someplace.”

Finding Overdose Killed Prince
Just the Beginning of Probe
W
ord from authorities that Prince
died of an overdose of a powerful
opioid is far from the end of the investigation. In some ways, it’s just the beginning.
In the coming months, investigators will
try to determine whether the singer had a
prescription for the fentanyl or whether it was
supplied illegally. If it’s the latter, someone
could face criminal charges carrying years,
even decades in prison.

Prince administered the drug himself. It said
the death investigation is complete and had
no further comment.
Prince was found dead April 21 at his Minneapolis-area estate.
Confirmation Prince died of an opioid
overdose was first reported by The Associated
Press. The autopsy report was released hours
later.
Maine Teen’s Message in a Bottle
Found by Fisherman in Spain
A
Maine teen got some unexpected news when
she received a handwritten letter from a fisherman saying that her message in a bottle
had been found in Spain.
WCSH-TV reports Terra Gallo and her sister
put messages into bottles and tossed them into the
ocean while visiting their aunt on Monhegan Island
three years ago.
The girls had forgotten about the bottles until
they were surprised by the fisherman’s correspondence last week.
Gallo, now 14, studied maps of ocean currents
and discovered her message traveled roughly 3,000
miles.
Gallo’s message asked that whoever found her
bottle put their own message inside with hers and
send it back out to sea. The fisherman said he complied with her wishes in his letter.

Medicinal Marijuana Licenses Now Available
By JOHN McPHAUL
[email protected]
Ana Ríus
S
Beginning on Friday, the License for the Cultivation of Medical
Cannabis was available as established in Regulation Number 155
for the Use, Possession, Cultivation,
Manufacture, Production, Fabrication and Research of Medicinal Marijuana that went into eﬀect on January
28, according to Health Secretary
Ana Ríus.
Ríus said the regulation establishes that “the Department of Health
will grade the establishments of cultivation to assure that they comply
with the requirements established
in the regulation before beginning
the work of designing and construction.”
She added that, according to Article 77 of the regulation, the cost of
the license issued by the Health Department cannot be less than the total amount paid in taxes.
In order to complete the application for the cultivation license, the following requirements must be complied with: certification of criminal
record, copy of certificate of incorporation, articles or statutes of organi-
zation, association contract, evidence
of authorization to do business in
Puerto Rico, evidence of no debt with
the Department of Treasury, corporate structure report, a financial report
that shows evidence of a capacity to
sustain the establishment, a report
on the location of the establishments,
and CRIM certification.
If a medical doctor is the owner,
associate, shareholder or employee
of the establishment, a copy of the
medical license should be included
where the doctor swears to not being
authorized to recommend medicinal
cannabis.
Ríus also stressed that Regulation
No. 155 also establishes that all activities of accounting on inventory of
a medicinal cannabis establishment
must be monitored through the use
of the Monitoring System established
by the commonwealth.
“Until we select this system, all
medicinal cannabis establishments
will maintain a provisional monitoring system that permits storing data
with precision and making it available,” the Health secretary said. “Once
selected, it will be required that all
establishments transfer their records
to this monitoring system.”

Employment Report ‘Real Body Blow’
J
eﬀrey Gundlach, chief executive
of DoubleLine Capital, called the
May employment report a “real
body blow” and said it means an interest rate increase later this month
is an “impossibility.”
In a telephone interview, Gundlach also said the U.S. stock market
was “incredibly resilient” after the
employment report. The Standard
& Poor’s 500 Index closed down just
6.13 points to end at 2,099.13 on Friday.
“It is a terrible employment report and the unemployment rate
fell because people gave up. People
are dropping out. There is no way
to sugarcoat this report. You really
can’t sugarcoat it, can you?”
Gundlach, who oversees $100
billion at Los Angeles-based DoubleLine, noted that job gains for
April, first recorded at an already
light 160,000, were revised down
sharply to plus 123,000 jobs, which
means “this puts incredible significance for next month’s employment
report after May’s terrible report. It
might be three strikes.”
It will be interesting to see how
Asia opens, Gundlach added. “I
wonder if they will have the same
nonchalant attitude about the May
employment report.”
The Bureau of Labor Statistics
reported on Friday that employers
in the United States added only
38,000 jobs last month, the smallest
gain since September 2010.
Earlier this week, Gundlach
said the labor market was already
softening because of the temporary
workers’ figures. “When you start
to see the figures fall in temporary
workers, that means people are not
needed. The temp figures are the
canary in a coal mine.”
Payrolls shrank by 21,000 at
temporary-help service providers
and are down by about 64,000 so far
this year.
Gundlach said the firm purchased 49-year government agency
debt securities on Thursday, ahead
of the fixed-income rally that ensued on Friday. “I think it is the
longest bond I have ever bought in
my life. We thought they were very
cheap, so we bought them,” Gundlach said.

The Best Way to Help a Grandchild With College
By JOHN F. WASIK
A
COLLEGE education — even at a highly rated private institution — was once regarded as a relatively
aﬀordable route to lifelong prosperity, but in recent
years it has become a hobbling financial burden for many
families.
As a result, older generations are often stepping up
to help their families with college funding. According to
a Fidelity Investments survey of its investors — a more affluent group than the average — more than half of grandparents “are saving or plan to start saving to help pay for
college costs.”
Sandra Schiﬀ, who is retired and lives in Denver, has
set up accounts for each of her eight grandchildren. She
started funding the plans with her husband, Ronald. After
running a successful wholesale plumbing business, they
wanted to see their grandchildren graduate from college
debt-free. At present, they have two recent graduates and
two entering college.
“My husband and I didn’t go to college,” Ms. Schiﬀ
said. “But we heard about this opportunity to fund 529
plans and thought it would be wonderful for our grandchildren.”
The desire for one generation to help another with college has become more urgent in recent years. According
to the College Board, private colleges averaged more than
$40,000 in total expenses for the most recent academic year;
state schools averaged around $17,000 for in-state students.
More than 50 top-tier private colleges now charge more than
$60,000 a year, including Columbia, Duke and Stanford.
One of the best vehicles for multigenerational college
funding is a 529 college savings plan. Oﬀered by states and
managed by large mutual fund companies, these plans allow investment for future educational expenses, and the
proceeds accumulate tax-free. Many states also provide a
tax write-oﬀ for at least a portion of a contribution.
But there are some potholes to avoid for those who hope
to maximize the value of their contributions and minimize
the total cost for a family of sending a student to college.
Statistics are not available on the number of grandparents who have opened 529 plans. But it is clear they are
widely popular. Today, they hold more than $250 billion in
12 million accounts, according to the College Savings Plans
Network, an organization run by state treasurers. Last year,
more than $25 billion poured into these plans.
Grandparents can set up these plans, naming grandchildren as beneficiaries. If the grandchildren decide not to
go to college, the money can be kept in the accounts or used
for another educational opportunity.
Since the children do not control the account — the
owners do — the assets are not in their names. That means
if grandparents need to withdraw the assets for themselves, they can do so, although they must pay a penalty
and income taxes if the assets are not used for educational
purposes.
While 529 plans are the prime vehicles of choice for
many grandparents, they can complicate a child’s chances
of qualifying for financial aid. The stumbling block comes
when students receive money from the 529 plan. That will
appear as income in the student’s name, which must be reported on the Fafsa, the form that most colleges require for
financial aid when a student applies and every year he or
she is in school.
To avoid a potential reduction in aid, grandparents
could postpone sending 529 proceeds until the last two
years of college, suggests Gary E. Carpenter, a Syracusebased certified public accountant and executive director of
the National College Advocacy Group, a nonprofit focused
on college financing.
“Distributions from grandparents’ 529 plans are seen
as student income, and could reduce aid by 50 percent,”
he said. That means if a grandparent takes $10,000 out of a
529 plan to send to a grandchild, it could cut student aid by
$5,000 the following year.
“Postponing the distribution until junior year would
be a good idea,” Mr. Carpenter said.
Another strategy is for grandparents to give money
directly to the parents. The reason it is important to avoid
putting money in the students’ names in the early years
of college is that 20 percent of a student’s assets are “assessed” in the federal formula, compared to only 5.64 percent of parental income and nonretirement assets. The more
money that is in a child’s name, the more it pares back the
aid package.
How does a grandparent know if a gift will impair a
grandchild’s financial aid package? Most college websites
have aid calculators, and the government’s aid calculator
can be found at https://studentaid.ed.gov/sa/fafsa/estimate.
Although aid calculators provide ballpark estimates,
a completed Fafsa provides applicants with the “expected
family contribution,” the bottom line for the family’s total
out-of-pocket expenses.
The expected family contribution is a number that colleges use after the need for financial aid — based on the
income and assets of the parents and student — is determined. Some colleges, mostly private ones, also look at
home equity. Under the federal aid formula, retirement accounts such as 401(k)’s, I.R.A.s and pensions are generally
considered oﬀ limits for college funding.
Sending money directly to the grandchild could increase the family’s expected contribution. But the situation
is much diﬀerent if the family is unlikely to receive financial aid. Then, 529 proceeds and direct gifts from grandparents are possible options.
“Gifting may be a better strategy if the family won’t
qualify for aid,” notes Fred Amrein, a fee-only financial
planner in Wynnewood, Pa., who specializes in college
planning. “Grandparents may want to pay college bills outright.” Under federal laws, couples can give up to $28,000 a
year before facing gift taxes.
“Direct payment to the college for tuition is an allowable exception to the annual limit,” Mr. Amrein added.
Sandra Schiﬀ and her husband Ronald have set up
college savings accounts for each of their eight
grandchildren.
“This is only recommended if the family does not qualify
for need-based financial aid.”
While direct giving is often a viable option for wealthy
families, it will pay for someone fortunate enough to be in
that situation to consider a more sophisticated financial
planning strategy. Questions to consider include: Are estate issues a concern? Can securities be given to reap a tax
advantage through stock or bond sales?
When planning a multigenerational strategy, a fee-only
financial planner who understands college aid, estate and
tax laws can provide useful advice. Planners can provide a
number of strategies that mesh with a person’s estate planning, giving and portfolio objectives. These professionals
can also discuss the best time to give.
Any certified financial planner with expertise in college planning can help form a strategy, or a certified college
finance specialist can be found through the National Institute of Certified College Planners.
It is also helpful to check with a state’s 529 program
first when considering a dedicated account. States have a
number of investment options, including prepaid tuition
plans for state and private colleges. Collegesavings.org and
savingforcollege.com have thorough overviews of what
each plan has to oﬀer.
No matter which option is chosen for a grandchild, the
parents will greatly appreciate the help.
“Grandparents have a natural inclination to spoil their
grandchildren,” said Young J. Boozer III, state treasurer of
Alabama and chairman of the College Savings Plans Network. “What better way to spoil them than with college savings? The gift will last much longer than a video game.”
Contributions to 529 plans can be made in lieu of
cash gifts for birthdays, holidays, a confirmation or a bar
or bat mitzvah. They can be some of the most meaningful gifts ever, but they should start early to build up savings.

Wall St. Slumps After Dismal Jobs Report
B
anks and other financial companies led a modest decline in U.S. stocks Friday after a report indicating that
hiring had slowed sharply in May put investors in a selling mood.
The market slide ended a modest two-day winning streak
and sent bond prices surging as investors sought safety in U.S.
government-backed debt. The dollar fell sharply against several major currencies.
The downbeat jobs data appeared to convince traders that
the Federal Reserve will keep interest rates low longer than
previously expected. It also stirred concerns that the economy
was slowing.
“What we don’t want to see is this number as a beginning of a series of weaker data,” said Quincy Krosby, a market
strategist at Prudential Financial. “That’s going to aﬀect the
market.”
The Standard & Poor’s 500-stock index lost 6.13 points, or
0.3 percent, to 2,099.13. The Nasdaq composite index gave up
28.85 points, or 0.6 percent, to 4,942.52.
The Dow Jones industrial average fell 31.50 points, or 0.2
percent, to 17,807.06.
The Labor Department reported that the U.S. economy
added only 38,000 jobs in May, the lowest amount in five years.
The unemployment rate fell to 4.7 percent from 5 percent.
Other reports out Friday also showed a mixed snapshot
of the economy. The Institute of Supply Management said U.S.
services firms grew in May at the slowest pace in more than
two years, while the Commerce Department said orders to U.S.
factories rose in April by the largest amount in six months.
Speculation that the Fed will hold oﬀ on raising its key
interest rate weighed on banks and financial services companies, as low interest rates make it harder for banks to make
money from loans.
ETrade Financial slumped $1.44, or 5.1 percent, to $26.69,
while Charles Schwab lost $1.62, or 5.3 percent, to $29.22. Bank
of America fell 52 cents, or 3.5 percent, to $14.42. Citigroup slid
$1.58, or 3.4 percent, to $45.39.
All told, financials sector companies posted the biggest
drop in the in the S.&P. 500, sliding 1.4 percent. It’s down 1.7
percent this year and is the only one of the 10 sectors in the
index that’s negative for 2016.
The prospect of interest rates holding steady made U.S.
bonds more attractive, sending their prices sharply higher.
That demand spike, in turn, pushed the yield on the 10-year
Treasury note down 1.70 percent from 1.80 late Thursday.
“What you’re seeing today is bonds are rallying because
the thought that we’re going to see higher rates in the short
term has come oﬀ the table a bit,” said J.J. Kinahan, chief strategist at TD Ameritrade. “It’s about pure yield.”
The dollar also fell against other major currencies, falling
to 106.68 yen from 108.91 the day before. The euro jumped to
$1.1347 from $1.1148.
Traders also piled money into precious and industrial
metals. Gold rose $30.30, or 2.5 percent, to $1,242.90 an ounce,
while silver gained 34 cents, or 2.1 percent, to $16.37 an ounce.
Copper added 4 cents, or 2.1 percent, to $2.11 a pound.

UN: Islamic State Increasingly Focused on International Attacks
Report says terrorist group moving into new phase as it faces pressure in Iraq and Syria
T
he Islamic State group is entering a new phase with an increased emphasis on attacking international civilian targets, according to a United Nations report circulated late
last week.
The report by Secretary General Ban Ki-moon to the Security Council says the global threat from the Islamic State group remains high and continues to diversify even though its territorial
expansion has been halted or even reversed in Iraq and Syria.
“Recent international attacks perpetrated by members of
ISIL demonstrate that the terrorist group is now moving into a
new phase, with the increased risk that well-prepared and centrally directed attacks on international civilian targets may become a more frequent occurrence,” the report states, using an
acronym to refer to the group.
The report notes that in the last six months the Islamic State
group has carried out attacks in 11 countries, excluding fighting
in Syria, Iraq, Yemen, Afghanistan or Libya, killing more than
500 people and injuring hundreds more.
It also said that an increasing number of “foreign terrorist
fighters” were returning to their home countries and that while
some had done so after becoming disillusioned with the group,
many returned with the intent and capability to “conduct terrorist attacks in their country of origin or residence.”
According to the report, the group is seeking to elevate the
role of its aﬃliates and may even be transferring funds to them
as they find themselves under increasing pressure in Iraq and
Syria.
The report also says that for the first time since the declaration of a “so-called caliphate” in June 2014, the group is under
financial pressure with international air strikes reducing oil production by between 30 and 50 percent. Despite this, the report
A French policeman escorts a convoy transporting Paris terror attacks

for his first questioning
by anti-terror judges in
Paris, on May 20.
says the group does not appear to be lacking or short on arms
or ammunition.
Meanwhile a US government report said Thursday that despite a spate of bloody incidents that made global headlines, the
total number of deaths in terrorist attacks fell last year by 14%.
While IS remains the major threat and carried out devastating attacks in France, Lebanon and Turkey — violence and total
deaths decreased in Pakistan, Iraq and Nigeria.
According to figures compiled for the US State Department,
there were an average of 981 “terrorist attacks” per month worldwide in 2015, killing a total of 28,328 over the year.
This represents 13% fewer attacks and 14% fewer deaths
than in 2014, according to the National Consortium for the Study
of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism (START).
The START figures were released Thursday as an annex to
the State Department’s annual strategic assessment — “Country
Reports on Terrorism” — prepared for the US Congress.
This warned that the “global terrorist threat continued to
evolve rapidly in 2015, becoming increasingly decentralized and
diﬀuse.”
The report also placed some of the blame on nation states,
warning that extremists exploit frustrations “where avenues for
free and peaceful expression of opinion were blocked.”
Where countries, including US allies, have rigged judicial
systems and abuses by security forces and corrupt politicians go
unchecked, violent non-state actors can win support.
German authorities on Thursday arrested three Syrian men
suspected of planning an attack in Dusseldorf for the Islamic
State group, prosecutors said. They said the plot was thwarted
by a fourth suspect, who went to French authorities with details
earlier this year.
The plan called for two suicide attackers to blow themselves up in central Dusseldorf and then for further assailants to
kill as many people as possible using firearms and explosives,
prosecutors said.
UN: Sexual Violence Integral Tactic of Terror
J
ust as the international community has made some inroads combating sexual violence as a weapon of war,
extremists are adopting the age-old tactic as a tool of
terror.
Speaking late last week at a Security Council session
on sexual violence in conflict, U.N. Secretary-General Ban
Ki-moon pointed to the recent conviction of Democratic
Republic of Congo politician Pierre Bemba Gombo by the
International Criminal Court as the “latest sign that the era
of impunity for sexual violence as a tool of war is over.”
But he acknowledged much more remained to be
done.
“One extremely disturbing aspect is the use of sexual
violence as a tactic of terrorism. Daesh, Boko Haram and
other extremist groups are using sexual violence as a
means of attracting and retaining fighters, and to generate
revenue,” he said, using another name for the Islamic State
group.
Ban’s Special Representative on Sexual Violence in
Conflict Zainab Bangura told the council that of the 48 parties accused of employing sexual violence in a new U.N.
report, 37 were non-state actors, requiring new tools and
strategies that go beyond resolutions, treaties and sanctions traditionally used to address the scourge.
“The war of conquest of extremist groups is being
fought on and fought over the bodies of women and girls
generating millions of dollars of revenue,” Bangura said.
“It is the revival of the slave trades in our own time and
life.”
Ban’s report to the Security Council estimated that the
Yazidi people in Iraq paid some $45 million in ransom to
the Islamic State group in 2014 alone for the return of their
girls and women.
Bangura said social media was another factor facilitating the trade and traﬃcking of women, who are oﬀered
in on-line forums alongside “rifles and rocket propelled
grenades.”
“When we think terrorism we think of destruction of
property, killing, bombing or hostage taking. But we cannot deplore the public violence of terrorism while ignoring
the violence terrorists inflict on women and girls behind
closed doors,” she said, adding that, worse yet, when victims are lucky enough to be freed from captivity they are
often shunned by their communities.
“Sexual violence is still the only crime that stigmatizes
the victim rather than the perpetrator,” Bangura said.
She said eﬀorts to battle sexual violence carried out
by non-state actors should focus on draining extremists’
resources and degrading their capacity to communicate,
travel and do harm, as well as providing better care to victims.
In his Thursday address, Ban also touched on a spate
of recent cases where U.N. peacekeepers have been accused
of sexual abuse, saying that the organization “will continue our own eﬀorts to ensure that peacekeepers uphold
the highest standards of integrity towards the people they
serve.”

Prisoner Tells of ‘Mental Torture’ in Guantanamo Bay’s ‘Camp 7’
A
Somali prisoner at Guantanamo Bay told a military
judge late last week that he has experienced what he
believes are intentional noises and vibrations inside
the high-security section of the prison known as Camp 7,
echoing a defendant in the Sept. 11 war crimes case who has
alleged he is the victim of deliberate attempts at sleep deprivation.
Hassan Guleed, an alleged member of East Africa alQaeda making his first appearance in a U.S. court since his
2004 capture, on Thursday portrayed sounds and vibrations
as well as chemical odors in testimony at the U.S. base in
Cuba as “a kind or pressure” intended to make detainees
cooperate with authorities. He contrasted it with other forms
of abusive treatment that he and others experienced while
held by the CIA in overseas prisons before being taken to
Guantanamo.
“We have mental torture in the Camp 7. In the black site
there was physical...” Guleed started to say when prosecutors and the judge cut him oﬀ to keep him from discussing
details about his confinement that are classified as secret.
Guleed said several other prisoners have experienced
the same sounds and vibrations, including Khalid Shaikh
Mohammad, the self-proclaimed mastermind of the Sept. 11,
2001, terrorist attack, and Abu Zubaydah, a Palestinian who
was the first prisoner to be subjected to brutal CIA interrogation techniques.
The Somali prisoner, who wore a black and white head
scarf and a traditional white dress shirt as he testified in
broken English, faced aggressive cross-examination from federal prosecutor Ed Ryan, who sought to show he was a biased witness by asking him about allegations that he trained
at an al-Qaida camp and performed surveillance on a U.S.
military base as part of a suicide bombing plot.
Guleed, who has never been charged with a crime, denied involvement with al-Qaida. “You are lying to us right
now aren’t you sir?” Ryan asked. The defendant said he was
not.
Twice, courtroom monitors cut the sound feed so that
spectators could not hear information deemed classified.
The testimony was intended to support allegations by
Sept. 11 defendant Ramzi Binalshibh, who has alleged he
has been subjected to intentional sleep deprivation, which
his lawyer says interferes with his ability to participate in
his defense.
Binalshibh, Mohammad and three other Guantanamo
prisoners face trial by military commission for planning and
providing logistical support to the Sept. 11 hijacking plot.
They could get the death penalty if convicted.
Abu Zubaydah, who has not been seen in public since
he was captured in Pakistan in 2002, had been expected to
testify Thursday about his own experiences with noises and
vibrations in Camp 7. But James Harrington, a civilian lawyer
for Binalshibh, asked the judge to postpone his appearance
just as he was about to come into the courtroom when it became clear that the judge would allow Ryan to ask questions
similar to those he asked Guleed. Unlike the Somali, Abu
Zubaydah has a lawyer, and he told the court that he would
object to incriminating questions.
Military oﬃcials have repeatedly denied that guards
in Camp 7 intentionally made sounds or vibrations, though
there has been documented use of sleep deprivation during
interrogations in CIA black site prisons and Guantanamo in
the past.
Prosecutors have suggested in court that Binalshibh is
inventing allegations that have become one of the many issues that have sidetracked proceedings in the Sept. 11 case,
which remains in the pretrial stage with no trial date set.
The judge, Army Col. James Pohl, earlier issued an order directing the military to cease any deliberate noises or
vibrations without determining whether any had occurred.
Binalshibh says it has continued despite that order.
Chilean Ex-Soldier Faces US Trial in Death of Singer Victor Jara
A
n army lieutenant under late Chilean strongman
Augusto Pinochet will face a civil trial in Florida
this month for his involvement in the 1973 murder of Chilean folk singer Victor Jara, the U.S. human
rights group bringing the suit said late last week.
Jara, also a poet and political activist, inspired generations of artists from U2 to Bruce Springsteen with his
lyrical odes to the working class. A communist, he fell
afoul of the Chilean government when leftist president
Salvador Allende was overthrown by right-wing Pinochet in a bloody 1973 military coup.
During Pinochet’s rule, which lasted until 1990, an
estimated 3,200 people were killed and 28,000 tortured
by the state. According to Chilean court documents, Jara
was shot dead by soldiers in Chile’s Estadio Nacional,
which served as a mass detention and torture center in
the early days the military government. His death soon
became a potent symbol of the era’s abuses.
A high-ranking oﬃcial was arrested for his involvement in the murder in 2008, and in 2012 a Chilean judge
ordered the arrest of an additional eight soldiers.
But one of those soldiers, Pedro Pablo Barrientos
Nunez lives in Deltona, Florida rather than Chile, and
the United States has not acted on Chile’s extradition request.
In 2013, the Center for Justice and Accountability
(CJA), an organization dedicated to preventing severe
human rights abuses, filed a civil suit against Barrientos
on behalf of Jara’s widow and daughters. The trial is set
to take place in the district court in Orlando from June
13 to 29, the group said Thursday.
According to the organization, a jury will be asked
to find Barrientos legally responsible and will be asked
to award punitive and compensatory damages.
“We stand by allegations that he was the one who
tortured and murdered Victor Jara, or at the very least
he aided and abetted in his death, and in either case he
is liable for what happened,” CJA Executive Director
Dixon Osburn told Reuters.
Osburn added that the CJA hoped the civil trial will
push U.S. authorities to act on Chile’s extradition request, and will shed light on the abuses that took place
in Estadio Nacional in the days after the coup.
Legal representatives for Barrientos could not be
immediately reached for comment.

Dozens of Women Vanish on Canada’s Highway
of Tears, and Most Cases Are Unsolved
By DAN LEVIN
L
ess than a year after her 15-year-old
cousin vanished, Delphine Nikal, 16,
was last seen hitchhiking from this isolated northern Canadian town on a spring
morning in 1990.
Ramona Wilson, 16, a member of her high
school baseball team, left home one Saturday
night in June 1994 to attend a dance a few
towns away. She never arrived. Her remains
were found 10 months later near the local airport.
Tamara Chipman, 22, disappeared in
2005, leaving behind a toddler. “She’s still missing,” Gladys Radek, her aunt, said. “It’ll be 11
years in September.”
Dozens of Canadian women and girls,
most of them indigenous, have disappeared
or been murdered near Highway 16, a remote
ribbon of asphalt that bisects British Columbia
and snakes past thick forests, logging towns
and impoverished Indian reserves on its way
to the Pacific Ocean. So many women and
girls have vanished or turned up dead along
one stretch of the road that residents call it the
Highway of Tears.
A special unit formed by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police oﬃcially linked 18
such cases from 1969 to 2006 to this part of the
highway and two connecting arteries. More
women have vanished since then, and community activists and relatives of the missing
say they believe the total is closer to 50. Almost all the cases remain unsolved.
The Highway of Tears and the disappearances of the indigenous women have become a political scandal in British Columbia.
But those cases are just a small fraction of
the number who have been murdered or disappeared nationwide. The Royal Canadian
Mounted Police have oﬃcially counted about
1,200 cases over the past three decades, but research by the Native Women’s Association of
Canada suggests the total number could be as
high as 4,000.
In December, after years of refusal by his
conservative predecessor, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced a long-awaited national inquiry into the disappearances and murders of indigenous women.
The inquiry, set to cost 40 million Canadian dollars ($31 million), is part of Mr.
Trudeau’s promise of a “total renewal” of
Canada’s relationship with its indigenous citizens, and it comes at a critical time.
Aboriginal women and girls make up
about 4 percent of the total female population
of Canada but 16 percent of all female homicides, according to government statistics.
Carolyn Bennett, the minister of indigenous and northern aﬀairs, has spent months
traveling across the country to consult with
indigenous communities. During her meetings, families and survivors have complained
of racism and sexism by the police, who she
said treated the deaths of indigenous women
“as inevitable, as if their lives mattered less.”
“What’s clear is the uneven application of
justice,” Ms. Bennett said.
One reason to doubt the estimate by the
Royal Canadian Mounted Police, she said, is
that the police often immediately deemed the
women’s deaths to be suicides, drug overdoses
or accidents, over the protests of relatives who
suspected foul play. “There was no investigation,” she said, citing one recent case. “The file
folder’s empty.”
A United Nations report last year described measures by the previous government to
protect aboriginal women from harm as “inadequate” and said that the lack of an inquiry
into the murders and disappearances constituted “grave violations” of the women’s human
rights. Failures by law enforcement, it added,
had “resulted in impunity.”
Ms. Radek, a co-founder of Tears4Justice,
an advocacy organization, said, “When it comes to the missing, racism runs deep.”
The federal government has allocated 8.4
billion Canadian dollars ($6.4 billion) over five
years to aid indigenous communities, which
have disproportionately high levels of poverty, incarceration, alcoholism and substance
abuse, and often lack basic necessities like safe
drinking water.
Ms. Bennett said the breakdown in aboriginal communities was the product of generations of socioeconomic marginalization and
trauma tied to government policies. Particularly damaging was a state-financed, churchrun boarding school system for aboriginal
children who were forcibly taken from their
families by oﬃcers of the Royal Canadian
Mounted Police. Many of the 150,000 children
who were sent to residential schools over a
century became victims of physical and sexual
abuse. The program was fully shut down in
the mid-1990s.
Covering 450 miles between the city of

cosm of Canada’s painful indigenous legacy
and a serious test for Mr. Trudeau as he tries
to repair the country’s relationship with aboriginal people.
On a recent journey along Highway 16,
scenes of stunning wilderness were flecked
by indigenous communities reeling from economic decay and the anguished memories of
missing and murdered women.
A few miles outside Prince George, the
highway plunges into thick forests veined
with logging roads and the occasional “moose
crossing” sign. “Girls Don’t Hitchhike on the
Highway of Tears,” reads a large yellow billboard alongside the road farther north. “Killer
on the Loose!”
As a bald eagle soared overhead, Brenda
Wilson, 49, the Highway of Tears coordinator
for Carrier Sekani Family Services and the sister of one of the victims, gestured to the wall
of evergreens that flank the road. “The trees
are really dense here, so if you’re looking for
someone, it’s pretty hard to find them,” she
said, listing the names of several women who
are still missing.
The provincial government announced
plans in December to improve safety along
Highway 16, including funds for traﬃc cameras and vehicles for indigenous communities.
But little has changed on the road, which lacks
lighting or any public transportation other
than infrequent Greyhound bus service that
does not reach remote communities.
The perils do not stop desperate people
from thumbing rides in a region where public
transportation is practically nonexistent. Just
outside the village of Burns Lake, Drucella Joseph, 25, an unemployed aboriginal woman,
eagerly climbed into the back of a passing car
along with her boyfriend, Corey Coombes.
“Friends will drive me when I really need a
ride, but other than that, we just hitchhike,”
she told the driver. The couple gets by on his
disability payments and on donated food from
food banks. Neither has a cellphone. When
hitchhiking, Mr. Coombes says he protects
himself by carrying a club or a screwdriver.
British Columbia is infamous for serial killers and criminals who often targeted aboriginal women. In 2007, Robert William Pickton,
a pig farmer, was convicted of killing six women, though the DNA or remains of 33 women
were discovered on his land. Many of them
were aboriginal. One of Canada’s youngest serial killers, Cody Legebokoﬀ, was 24 when he
was convicted in 2014 of killing four women
near the Highway of Tears. David Ramsay, a
former Prince George provincial court judge
and convicted pedophile, was imprisoned in
2004 for sexually and physically assaulting indigenous girls as young as 12.
Anguished family members said they received little help from the authorities, a sharp
contrast to the cases of missing white women.
After Ms. Chipman vanished in 2005, her
aunt, Ms. Radek, said the police objected to
the family putting up its own missing posters.
“They knew we were searching day and night,
and they did nothing to help us,” she said. The
next day, she said, a white woman disappeared near Vancouver “and the police were out
in the streets putting up posters.”
After her daughter Ramona disappeared
in 1994, the police refused to act, said Matilda
Wilson, a member of the Gitxsan First Nation.
“They gave us all these diﬀerent excuses that
she might be back tomorrow or next week,”
Ms. Wilson said. “There was no hurry or alarm
about it, so we started looking ourselves.”
Despite multiple searches, Ms. Wilson, a
single mother of six who is now 65, said there was no sign of Ramona until she had been
gone for seven months, when Ms. Wilson received an anonymous phone call telling her
that the girl’s body was near the airport. Police oﬃcers searched the area but found nothing, she said. In April 1995, two men riding
all-terrain vehicles by the airport discovered
Ramona’s remains buried under some trees.
Plastic flowers and a glass cross now decorate
her grave in a Smithers cemetery, a few blocks
from Ms. Wilson’s tidy trailer-park home.

Colombia Police Rescue Dogs
From Troubled Neighborhood
A
uthorities have returned to
a rugged Bogota neighborhood to rescue the dogs and
cats left behind when police shut
down the country’s largest open-air
drug market.
Col. Nelson Arias of Bogota’s
police says about 50 dogs and 20
cats were rescued by veterinarians
during last Thursday’s operation.
Arias says authorities hope to find
people to adopt the rescued animals.
More than 1,000 people were
removed over the weekend in a
surprise raid on the neighborhood
known as the Bronx that is located
just blocks from the presidential
palace. Authorities also rescued 136
minors, some of them possibly used
as child prostitutes.
The Bronx has long been a major embarrassment and symbol of
abandonment by the state. Authorities have tried to neutralize the
neighborhood in the past but to no
lasting eﬀect.
A police oﬃcer carries a dog that was rescued from El Bronx, a neighborhood plagued by drug addicts and prostitution, in
downtown Bogota, Colombia, Thursday.
German Town Turns to Syrian Refugees to Save Its School
A
t the talent show in Golzow’s elementary school, the highlight is a
Syrian girl proudly singing a German pop hit to applause from her classmates.
The scene last week in the tiny town
near the Polish border — population 870
— came a year after Golzow launched
what principal Gaby Thomas calls an act
of “mutual rescue.” The school couldn’t get
together the 15 students needed to set up a
first-grade class, and that had Mayor Frank
Schuetz fearing for his town’s future.
“If we had allowed this school to
crumble away, we also would have had to
accept families saying, ‘you can’t move to
Golzow, your children will have to go to
school somewhere else,’” he says.
In this thinly populated area of what
was once communist East Germany, which
has seen its population shrink since the reunification of Germany in 1990, “any infrastructure has very significant value.”
So the town’s leaders went to a migrant
reception center in nearby Eisenhuettenstadt and persuaded two Syrian families to
move to Golzow. They brought with them
three children of school age — salvaging
the school’s first grade and taking on the
challenge of settling into a peaceful but
hardly cosmopolitan rural backwater.
Nour and Kamala, both 10, and
Kamala’s 9-year-old brother Bourhan, started school from scratch with younger Germans.
“Of course they didn’t know Golzow
at all, they had no idea what they were getting themselves into,” Schuetz said. “But
they saw a chance to get out of the strange
situation of living in tents and were willing
to move.”
As Germany begins to integrate hundreds of thousands of migrants from the
Arab world and beyond who arrived last
year, Golzow oﬀers a small-scale taste of
success. A man from a nearby village who
speaks Arabic helped in the early months
but now the two Syrian families, who were
joined in January by a third, are keen to
speak German — even insist on doing so.
“If we had had a lot of time to think
about what problems we could face, and
lost ourselves in that, it maybe wouldn’t
have worked out so well,” principal Thomas says. “We did a lot of things spontaneously, and the families were incredibly
cooperative.”
Halima Taha, 29, who moved to Golzow with husband Fadi Sayed Ahmed and
their three children, has just started a parttime job as a translator at a home for refugees in a nearby town. Her work includes
translating rental contracts for newcomers
seeking a long-term place to live.
Taha’s presence is invaluable because
“she has arrived, she got support and now
she lives in an apartment with her family,”
home director Jens Planeta says. “That
takes a lot of people’s fear away, and that
is irreplaceable.”
“I think this is a good opportunity,”
Taha says. At home, she adds, “my husband is always helping, people in Golzow
are always helping too ... everyone helps
here.”
It’s certainly a change of scene for the
family, who come from Syria’s coastal city
of Latakia and spent a year in Turkey before moving on to Germany.
“Everything here is quiet, no war —
good,” Taha said.
There’s a down side to that quietness,
however, and it has a lot to do with why
Golzow’s leaders wanted to bring the families there.
“I was a real estate agent in Syria —
very, very good work — and I don’t know
what I can do here. I must (find) diﬀerent
work, but that’s OK,” says Fadi, Taha’s husband.
Golzow has lost nearly a third of its
population since German reunification, a
phenomenon seen in many parts of the east
after communist-era industry and collective farms went out of business or downsized. Real estate is not a booming business
— in fact, taking in the families has helped
the town tackle another concern by using
some of its empty housing.
The dwindling population has taken a
toll over the years on the school, which the
town named “The Children of Golzow”
in a nod to its main claim to fame, a documentary film project of the same name that
followed a class of schoolchildren from
1961 to 2007.
“This small place is defined by this
school,” the mayor says.
At its peak, the school had up to 700
students. In 2008, however, it lost its top
four grades and was reduced to an elementary school. It now has some 130 pupils. This year, town leaders say they have
enough children for a first grade, though
they’re still waiting for the oﬃcial green
light.
When the newcomers started school
last fall, teachers held workshops on the
issue of flight and expulsion with the
children, principal Thomas says — “because everyone’s first question was, ‘why
are they here?’ And then they knew why
they’re here.”
The two Syrian mothers told her not to
give their children special treatment, and
at one point even complained that their
children were speaking too much Arabic
with each other, she adds.

Re-Colonization of Puerto Rico and the PR Parade:
The Colonial Mentality of Puerto Rican Elites
By HOWARD JORDAN
I
t pains me to critique our Puerto Rican leadership
during these diﬃcult times where operational unity is important. Lo mas deficil si es hablar contra la
patria. But the truth must be told. The U.S. Congress is
about to re-colonize the people of Puerto Rico. Not to
say they ever stopped but with the imposition of this
new control board with, at most, one Puerto Rican representative, it has reached a new low.
Here is some food for thought:
Hillary’s Puerto Rican Loyalists. Bernie Sanders,
the candidate we voters are asked to ignore, has rejected the control board as a cave-in to the hedge funds
and corporations. Hillary Clinton has bought the corporate package. Why have the Puerto Rican elected
oﬃcials wholeheartedly endorsed Hillary while she
endorses this pernicious Congressional eﬀort? Is the
Donald Trump “cuco” or “boogeyman” enough of a rationale? They argue this is the best we can do.
Stand Up Boricuas! Why are most Puerto Rican
oﬃcials silent on this transparent control board designed to sell our island? Remember your colonial mas-
ters, i.e., the U.S. government can’t ride on your back
unless you’re bent over!
PR Parade Celebrating Culture? Why has the Puerto Rican day parade not utilized its potential political
influence to speak with one voice on the needs of the
Puerto Rican people? They all endorse the release of
Puerto Rican political prisoner Oscar López Rivera but
refuse to challenge the colonial status that has led to
his imprisonment and the creation of the debt on the
Island. You really cannot celebrate our culture while
in your daily operation you oﬀer no cultural resistance
to the imposition of American colonialism on the Island. Withdraw your endorsement of Hillary unless
she takes a correct stand.
Parade Leaders: What of Ramón Jiménez? Why has
the Puerto Rican Day Parade yet to make a statement
and honor the recently passed late activist lawyer Ramón Jiménez who was responsible for reconnecting
the parade to the PR community. They honor rightfully Rosario Dawson, a Bernie supporter (I guess hoping
when Bernie goes with Hillary she will switch over),
but reject Jiménez. As the biblical injunction correctly
says, “a prophet is without honor in his own house-
hold.” We can only ask what would Ramón would
have said about these developments? Lorraine-CortesVasquez, Melissa Mark-Viverito, Orlando Plaza y los
demas, does your heart beat boricua, donde esta su
compasión? ¡Que fallo!
Colonial Mentality. ¿Que Pasa Que No Se Rebelan?
It seems that our leadership suﬀers from a colonial
mentality or slave trauma syndrome (colonial slaves).
If you are Puerto Rican or care about the future of our
people please share your views with the Puerto Rican
leadership, including the elected oﬃcials, parade oﬃcials, labor leaders, activists, businessmen. Let them
know the Puerto Rican people are not for sale. ¡Ni aqui,
ni alla!

Yes, It’s Genocide
By THE EDITORIAL BOARD
I
n what has become an almost annual exercise, Turkey has thrown a fit because someone has spoken
the truth about its dark past. This time, it has pulled
its ambassador from Berlin and threatened dire consequences over a resolution, passed overwhelmingly
by the German Parliament last Thursday, declaring
that the century-old massacre of Ottoman Armenians
was a genocide. That is what Turkey does every time
a foreign government dares to challenge its discredited claim that the Armenians perished in the cruel fog
of World War I, and not in a premeditated attempt to
eradicate a people. Germany’s claims to the contrary,
Turkish legislators huﬀed in a statement, are “based on
biased, distorted and various subjective political motives.”
No, it was a genocide, the first of the 20th century.
Historians have established beyond reasonable doubt
that as many as 1.5 million Armenians were deliberately killed or sent on death marches in 1915-16 by the
disintegrating Ottoman Empire, fearful that they and
other Christian minorities could side with Russia in
the war.
For Armenians, millions of whom were left scattered around the world, gaining recognition that the
slaughter was a genocide — a deliberate atrocity, and
not collateral damage — has been a long and passionate national mission, which has resulted in formal recognition by more than 20 countries.
The Armenians are fully justified in their quest
for a historical reckoning. But the more the world has
recognized that, the more aggressively Turkey has
stormed and shouted. A couple of years ago, when
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan was still a relatively
broad-minded prime minister, he seemed prepared
to take a more conciliatory stance on the Armenian
issue. It never happened, and the increasingly autocratic Mr. Erdogan warned Germany’s chancellor,
Angela Merkel, in advance that relations with Germany — “bilateral, diplomatic, economic, trade, political and military” — would be damaged by the
resolution.
Mr. Erdogan’s threats are not without eﬀect. Turkey
is a crucial NATO ally in the upheavals of the Middle
East, and especially important to Germany and the European Union as they try to stem the flow of Syrian
refugees. Ms. Merkel was not present for the vote,
though she did not oppose it. President Obama, who as
a candidate in 2008 pledged to recognize the events of
1915 as a genocide, has failed to do so.
The damage done to Turkey’s relations with the
Armenians and its NATO allies is the responsibility of
that large majority of Turks who refuse to acknowledge
a dark blot on their history, not those who seek to commemorate the tragedy. The Germans, who have admirably confronted the terrible genocide in their own
history, did the right thing in defying Mr. Erdogan’s
threats.

Letters
Mirror, Mirror
on the Wall...
The “financial crisis” is ultimately an endgame of
politician corruption. For various partisan schemes
they borrowed what couldn’t be paid back and did it
again and over again. And by way of sneaky double
talk aim to glean political capital out of it yet.
If you want to talk solutions, no reasonable credit
is within reach, sell real estate, the Commonwealth
has plenty, it can eventually be bought back. Then
trash plutocracy, medicalize dope, drive narcotraﬃckers into Chapter 11, pols give up their cut. Rehab
cons, without a drug establishment, you don’t need a
professional-criminal stratum. Fix the public schools,
realize a population of professionals and intellectuals
serve Puerto Rico better than hordes of minimum wagers. And money. Public transportation works better
than a car and is a gazillion times cheaper.
Holy Week our greasy pols and pampered riquitos all flew to Vegas to splurge booty. Next time let’s
all march to Isla Verde, sledgehammer down the airport so they can’t get back.

El Manco Case
Approaching the end of the tether, “El Manco”
case seems to be a flash in the pan and unambiguous
wherein the accused will not have a so-called chinaman’s chance for a fair trial.
At the outcome of the trial the impartial jury to
be impounded would be an unreachable dream; everybody in Puerto Rico is tainted with a “cognitive
bias” because of the “ad nauseam” exposure on TV
programs and all sorts of commentaries by the media
and legal pundits, which may have poisoned the juries mind against “El Manco.”
Furthermore, as a rule of thumb, when a defendant has been diagnosed by a competent psychiatrist
that the accused is unable to understand the goings on
of a trial, the presiding judge is obliged to order psychological treatment for the accused at a convenient
facility. The court will thereby avoid cramming down
the trial.
During the past two weeks of the appellate trial
being held on TV, not even an iota nor any evidence
related to him has been admitted as such; they have
been conspicuous by their absence. Unfortunately, the
trial is tottering, as a direct consequence it would be
useless to embark on a game of legal gamesmanship
and/or outfoxing the opposition.
One thing has been learned during trial: On-site
forensic examiners should first be properly trained,
in order to avoid a repetition of El Manco’s negligent
forensic examination, then it would not have been a
coxcomb imitation.

You announce we “ought to be empowered to
forge [our] own destiny.” Haven’t we done just that?
Only now, like overcoddled babies, we squeal, chicken
away from the consequences we’ve wrought, scamper
behind Uncle Sam’s apron strings. And for a few convention votes you’re playing us the alcahuete.
If you really want to help, you might take our
fiendish politicians back to the States with you, hang
them by their stingers from the Washington Monument.

Yet what’s the point? Agapito undeniably deserves
it all, his shifting the tax from the wealthy to the rest of

not running again. Yet I predict that like another popular we’d rather not remember, whom my mother, bless
her soul, monikered Pelo Mojado, he’ll bring down his

it only makes sense to denounce behavior and policy

Whatever you do, don’t grow old in Puerto Rico.
The young won’t respect you, meaning you’ll find
yourself targeted by violent crime more that you used
to. And police won’t regard you as important, when
they see your white hair, it’s like you’d do them a favor by just dying. Doctors same thing. We’re not community here. It’s like a alley full of hungry dogs, and
it’s seen as natural that they bite each other bloody for
leftovers and yet we all believe in God. When you’re
in distress and there are Christians around, they’ll read
you from the Bible. But I don’t think that’s what Jesus
would’ve done, I think He would’ve done something

36 Hours in
Philadelphia
By NELL McSHANE WULFHART
W
ith the Democratic National Convention to
be held here in July, and its expected influx
of 50,000 people, Philadelphia is more than
ready to show itself oﬀ to the world. Thanks to a compact city center and plenty of bike lanes — plus a popular bike-share program — Philadelphia rewards exploration on two feet or two wheels. A college town, the
city has a young vibe and a profusion of happy hours,
as well as one of the most dynamic culinary landscapes
in the country. The restaurant scene is expanding rapidly, from Frankford Avenue in the north to Passyunk
Avenue in the south, discarding traditional “red sauce”
Italian restaurants and working-class bars in favor of
indie B.Y.O.B.s and elegant cafes. With an ever-increasing number of stellar museums, the transformation of
industrial spaces into artist studios and a newly invigorated clutch of outdoorsy oﬀerings, the city has never
been more inviting — and not just to the Democrats.
Friday
1. WEST PHILLY WANDERINGS, 3 P.M.
Begin on the west side of town in the heart of University City. The Institute of Contemporary Art at the
University of Pennsylvania (free) is the city’s most prestigious space for modern work, with exhibitions that
don’t shy away from provocation. It hosted the first
museum solo show for Andy Warhol and early work
by Laurie Anderson, and its more recent productions,
work from artists likeRobert Crumb, Gillian Wearing
and Rodney McMillian, have been no less exciting.
2. VEG OUT, 6 P.M.
Philadelphia is having a vegan moment. Chic, plantbased restaurants are serving some of the best cock-
tails and bar snacks in the city. Hit the happy hour at V
Street, a hip “street food”-style vegan restaurant from
the owners of the much-lauded Vedge. The cocktails
here include the Kingston Cooler, with silver tequila,
IslayScotch, carrot, ginger and jerk spice. Accompany
them with a “Philly shawarma taco” of grilled and
spiced seitan, broccoli rabe, hot peppers and tzatziki.
3. DINNER AT WILL, 8:30 P.M.
Pennsylvania’s strict liquor laws (liquor licenses
are legendarily expensive and diﬃcult to obtain) have
spawned an impressive B.Y.O.B. culture, with chef-
The San Juan Daily Star
driven restaurants oﬀering inventive, perfectly executed cuisine without the hefty boozemarkup. Will
BYOB, helmed by the chef Christopher Kearse, is one
of a handful of such B.Y.O.B.s on buzzy Passyunk Avenue, and its five-course tasting menu ($75) of exquisite
dishes, like the milk-fed poulard with braised fennel,
bacon marmalade and abalone mushrooms, is a thing
of beauty. Book in advance. Digest on the short walk to
Fountain Porter, an eﬀortlessly cool neighborhood bar
with an impressive list of local beers. Try a pint of Kenzinger, brewed in, and named after, a north Philadelphia
neighborhood, for $3 (if you’re still hungry, the excellent burger is just $5).
Saturday
4. CHEESE IN THE PARK, 10 A.M.
Di Bruno Bros. is a local institution; the original location in South Philly’s Italian Market has been around
since 1939. The bigger, newer store at the corner of 18th
and Chestnut is filled to the brim with epicurean goods.
Pick up a rustic baguette, fig and acacia honey jam, and
whichever cheese the cheese monger recommends that
day, and walk two blocks south to Rittenhouse Square,
the city’s people-watching hub. On Saturdays, a farmers’ market runs here until 2 p.m. (3 p.m. in summer),
and you can find everything from draft kombucha to
flowers to charcuterie from local, sustainably raised
animals.
The San Juan Daily Star
5. SOUTH PHILLY SANDWICH, NOON
Philadelphia is a sandwich town, and
while the cheese steak gets all the glory, it’s
the roast pork sandwich that deserves it. Get
the real thing at John’s Roast Pork, a barebones South Philadelphia landmark with
picnic table seating surrounded by shopping
plazas and big-box stores. Join the long line
of the devoted and pick up astellar sandwich
($10; order a large) with thin slices of moist
pork, wilted spinachand melted sharp provolone. They do one of the city’s best cheese
steaks, too.
6. BIKES AND HAMMOCKS, 1 P.M.
Philadelphia’s bike-share program, begun in 2015, now has more than 70 stations
scattered around the city. Rent a bright blue
Indego bike ($4 for 30 minutes) at Front and
Carpenter Streets and hit the Delaware River
Trail, a recently developed path that borders
the water. Ride north, stopping at Spruce
Street Harbor Park, aboardwalk strewn with
lights, hammocks, a beer garden, snacks from Federal
Donuts and the Fat Ham, and barges housing pop-up
restaurants by Jose Garces (May through September).
Generally between late November and late February,
theOlympic-size Blue Cross RiverRink is open to the
public, alongside firepits and a winter garden. Hang
a right onto the Race Street Pier, a recently redesigned
modern bi-level extension with spectacular views of
the Benjamin Franklin Bridge, where free outdoor yoga
classes are held in warmer months.
7. FRANKFORD IN FISHTOWN, 3 P.M.
Ride that bike up the trail north to Fishtown, a neighborhood that’s seen huge changes. Frankford Avenue is
more evidence of Philadelphia’s new hipness, a street
lined with boutiques, cafes and restaurants. Pop into La
Colombe, a cavernous industrial-chic coﬀee shop that
distills its own coﬀee-infused rum, for a creamy “draft
latte” (cold brew coﬀee and milk pressurized with nitrogen — add a shot of the rum for $6). Continue north,
noting the Shepard Fairey mural on the building at
1228 Frankford Avenue, then stop at Pizza Brain. With
claims to being the world’s first pizza museum, the
dining room displays goofy pizza-themed memorabilia
like movie posters, but the pizza itself (enormous slices
topped with ingredients like Grana Padano, honey goat
cheese and smoked bacon) is top-notch. Next door Little Baby’s Ice Cream makes its small-batch ice cream in
flavors likeBalsamic Banana.
8. NEIGHBORHOOD FARE, 6 P.M.
Southwark was a beloved neighborhood cocktail
bar and restaurant before it was sold in 2015, but, happily, Chris D’Ambro and Marina de Oliveira, the new
owners,have only made it better. The oft-changing
menu features perfect versions of classics like steak
tartare and smoked mackerel pâté, as well as more outré items like asparagus and ramp custard with crispy
poached egg, morels, fava beans and hazelnuts. Cocktails, which include a version of the Colonial-era drink
Philadelphia Fish House Punch (a mélange of cognac,
bourbon, rum, peach liqueur, lemon sherbet and nut-
Monday, June 6, 2016
meg), haven’t lost the old Southwark zing, either. Dinner for two, around $90.
9. ARTS ON THE FRINGE, 8 P.M.
The redone FringeArts building, a former fire truck
pumping station, now hosts the best and most eclectic
of the city’s live dance and conceptual performances, in
addition to being the headquarters of the city’s annual
FringeArts Festival (held in September). Alternatively,
head to Underground Arts, a basement venue that’s
rough and ready with cheap drinks, limited seating and
musical acts as varied asBob Mould and Insane Clown
Posse.
10. AFTER-HOURS OYSTERS, 10 P.M.
It’s worth waiting in line for the Saturday night
“buck a shuck” happy hour at theOyster House, which
has been serving fresh East Coast seafood since 1976.
The restaurant now has a modern aesthetic — gleaming
white tiles, marble bar and high wooden tables — and
draws a well-heeled crowd for the bargain oysters: $1
eachfrom 9 to 11 p.m. Pair them with the house punch
of red wine, apple brandy, lemon, ginger and cinnamon, or stay traditional with a classic gin martini with
house-made vermouth.
Sunday
11. MORNING HIGH, 10 A.M.
The new Manhattan branch of High Street on Market might have a line out the door, but you can grab a
table at the original if you time it right. Standout items
from Eli Kulp’s highly skilled kitchen are the baked
goods — the “red eye” danish, a pastry topped with
country ham and coﬀee-spiked gravy, has graced the
cover of Saveur — but for something more filling try
the Hickory Town breakfast sandwich, stuﬀed with
eggs, Lancaster bologna and Amish horseradish Cheddar. Coﬀee is from local roaster Rival Brothers. Breakfast for two, $30.
12. ART AND HOAGIES, NOON
It’s hard to believe that the Barnes Foundation’s 3,000strong collection ofImpressionist, Post-Impressionist and
early modern paintings was once owned by a single man.
Take the hourlong tour that starts at noon ($45, includes
27
$25 admission fee; book far in advance) for insights into the work and

Por primera vez Cámara de Comercio realizará su convención anual en San Juan
L
a Cámara de Comercio de Puerto Rico se apresta a realizar su convención
anual por primera vez en el área de San Juan.
La acƟvidad será en el Sheraton Puerto Rico Hotel & Casino, conƟguo al
Centro de Convenciones de Puerto Rico, del 9 al 11 de junio de 2016.
“El moƟvo principal de tomar esta decisión de mover este año nuestra
Convención a San Juan se debió a que es en el área metro donde se agluƟna
el mayor número de las empresas socias de la Cámara y su membresía, y
donde se encuentra el público en general que podría beneficiarse de nuestra Convención”, comentó el presidente de la CCPR, José Vázquez Barquet.
El evento, cuyo lema este año es “Innovación y Colaboración”, ofrece
José Vázquez Barquet,
presidente de la Cámara de un menú variado de foros, exhibidores de productos y servicios, desfile de
Comercio de Puerto Rico
moda, fiesta de la bahía, gala, premiaciones y asamblea anual, entre otros.
Dentro de la convención habrá un foro con todos los candidatos a
la gobernación.
“Ya para entonces habrán pasado las primarias y se tendrá a todos
simultáneamente contestando preguntas sobre qué van hacer por
Puerto Rico y su desarrollo económico”, expresó el presidente del Comité de Convención, Orlando Montañez.
Los tres días, desde primeras horas de la mañana, los convencionistas y público en general que asista al hotel Sheraton podrán visitar casi un centenar de exhibidores de productos y servicios que
estarán mostrando sus más innovadoras tecnología o mercancías, y
estableciendo relaciones de negocios con los socios de la Cámara de
Comercio.
Ricky Martin viaja para reunirse con niños refugiados de Siria
E
l cantante y embajador de Buena Voluntad de la Unicef, Ricky MarƟn, pidió que se preste una
mayor atención a la tarea de salvaguardar el futuro de millones de niños afectados por el conflicto de Siria, cuyas vidas han sido transformadas por el desplazamiento, la violencia y una persistente falta de oportunidades.
Unos 1,1 millones de sirios han buscado refugio en el Líbano desde el inicio de la crisis
en 2011, y más de la mitad de ellos son niños y niñas. Los niños refugiados corren un riesgo muy
concreto de ser vícƟmas de la explotación y el abuso, y un gran número no Ɵene otra opción que
trabajar en lugar de asisƟr a la escuela.
“Estamos en el sexto año de una crisis que ha tenido graves repercusiones sobre las
vidas de millones de niños y sus familias. Se esƟma que 2.8 millones de niños están sin escolarizar
en la región. Me he reunido con niños que se han visto obligados a converƟrse en el sostén de sus
familias, y que trabajan hasta 12 horas al día”, dijo MarƟn.
El ídolo de mulƟtudes puntualizó que “el mundo debe hacer mayores esfuerzos para
asegurarse de que estos niños estén protegidos contra la explotación y reciban acceso a entornos
seguros donde puedan aprender y lograr su autonomía”.
A MarƟn le afectó mucho la historia de Batoul, una niña de 11 años de Homs, que Ɵene
que trabajar a cambio de agua y refugio. Batoul, sus dos hermanas mayores y su madre son las
únicas que pueden mantener a su familia de 13 miembros.
“No recibo dinero. Trabajo muchas horas cosechando habas, cerezas, patatas, cualquier
producto de temporada”, afirmó.

Unicef y sus aliados están tratando de abordar las causas directas del trabajo infanƟl
mediante la lucha contra la pobreza, la provisión de educación gratuita y de oportunidades económicas para padres y jóvenes en edad de trabajar, y la idenƟficación de los niños que son vícƟmas
de las peores formas de trabajo infanƟl, con el fin de ofrecerles acceso a otras oportunidades como
el aprendizaje.
Durante la visita de dos días, MarƟn también fue tesƟgo de cómo trabaja Unicef ofreciendo entornos protectores donde los niños y adolescentes pueden jugar y recibir el apoyo que
necesitan para volver a recibir una educación estructurada.
En el valle de Bekaa y en Akkar, MarƟn parƟcipó en acƟvidades recreaƟvas en los espacios seguros para niños de los asentamientos informales. Además, conoció a adolescentes que
reciben cursos de formación de apƟtudes para la vida prácƟca imparƟdos por Unicef y sus aliados,
en los que los niños y niñas obƟenen una capacitación profesional y apoyo para su aprendizaje.
Unicef colabora estrechamente con las insƟtuciones gubernamentales, así como los aliados locales e internacionales, para saƟsfacer las necesidades de más 800 mil niños vulnerables
que han buscado refugio en el país. El enfoque se centra en la salud y la nutrición, la educación,
la protección de la infancia, el agua, el saneamiento y la higiene, y los servicios de apoyo dirigidos
específicamente a los adolescentes.
“La valenơa de estos niños me inspira. Están obteniendo los conocimientos y las apƟtudes que necesitan para poder contribuir al desarrollo de sus familias, comunidades y sociedades
cuando lleguen a la edad adulta.
InverƟr en su presente es
una inversión en el futuro de
la región”, aseguró MarƟn.
En su calidad de Embajador de Buena Voluntad de

CT deja trabajos a mitad en carreteras de Arecibo
E
l alcalde de Arecibo, Carlos Molina Rodríguez, denunció y exigió acción inmediata hoy a la Autoridad de Carreteras y Transportación (ACT) para terminar un
proyecto de asfalto que según el primer ejecuƟvo municipal se ha dejado a mitad y
ha provocado la molesƟa de los residentes y visitantes que se moviizan por la carretera PR-129.
Según Molina Rodríguez, hace unas semanas la ACT comenzó unos trabajos de
asfalto en la carretera PR-129 en Arecibo, pero sin culminarlos comenzaron un nuevo
proyecto en la carretera PR-10.
“Comienzan la construcción en la 129, y celebramos porque el estado de la misma
no era el mejor, la rompen y ahora la han dejado rota y en peor estado que antes.
Esto es inaceptable, el gobierno, la Autoridad de Carreteras y el Departamento de
Transportación y Obras Públicas, se Ɵenen que hacer responsables”, urgió.
Agregó que “la obra está detenida y solo hay movimiento de construcción en la
carretera PR-10, lo que ha provocado indignación ya que mientras dejan una obra sin
hacer, inician otra con el mismo fin. Estas acciones lo que provoca es aumentos en los
costos de construcción en momentos de estreches económica”.
A su vez, advirƟó que “no quiero pensar que esto es una movida políƟca que busca afectar a este servidor o a su equipo en momentos que se acercan unas primarias.
La gente de Arecibo sabe que este gobierno lleva tres años sin ayudarnos y a pulmón
estamos levantado la Villa del Capitán Correa”.

How Candy Makers Shape Nutrition Science
By CANDICE CHOI
O
ne of the industry’s most powerful
tactics is the funding of nutrition research. It carries the weight of academic authority, becomes a part of scientific literature and generates headlines.
“Hot oatmeal breakfast keeps you fuller
for longer,” declared a Daily Mail article on a
study funded by Quaker Oats.
“Study: Diet beverages better for losing
weight than water,” said a CBS Denver story
about research funded by Coke and Pepsi’s lobbying group.
The studies have their defenders.
Food companies say they follow guidelines to ensure scientific integrity, and that
academics have the right to publish no matter
what they find. Many in the research world
also see industry funding as critical for advancing science as competition for government
funding has intensified.
It’s not surprising that companies would
pay for research likely to show the benefits
of their products. But critics say the worry is
that they’re hijacking science for marketing
purposes, and that they cherry-pick or hype
findings.
The thinner-children-ate-candy research
is an example. It was drawn from a government database of surveys that asks people to
recall what they ate in the past 24 hours. The
data “may not reflect usual intake” and “cause
and eﬀect associations cannot be drawn,” the
candy paper authors wrote in a section about
the study’s limitations.
The candy association’s press release
did not mention that and declared, “New study shows children and adolescents who eat
candy are less overweight or obese.”
The headline at cbsnews.com: “Does
candy keep kids from getting fat?”
Carol O’Neil, the LSU professor who
made the “thin and clearly padded” remark,
told The Associated Press through a university representative that data can be “publishable” even if it’s thin. In a phone interview a
week later, she said she did not recall why she
made the remark, but that it was a reference to
the abstract she had attached for her co-author
to provide feedback on. She said she believed
the full paper was “robust.”
The flood of industry money in nutrition science partly reflects the field’s challenges. Isolating the eﬀect of any single food on
a person’s health can be diﬃcult, as evidenced
by the sea of conflicting findings.
The ambiguity and confusion has left
the door open for marketers.
Since 2009, the authors of the candy pa-
per have written more than two dozen papers
funded by parties including Kellogg and industry groups for beef, milk and fruit juice.
Two are professors: O’Neil of LSU and
Theresa Nicklas at the Baylor College of Medicine. The third is Victor Fulgoni, a former Kellogg executive and consultant whose website
says he helps companies develop “aggressive,
science-based claims about their products.”
Their studies regularly delivered favorable conclusions for funders — or as they call
them, “clients.”
In a phone interview, Fulgoni said industry-funded studies show favorable results
because companies invest in projects with the
“best chance of success.” He said any type of
funding creates bias or pressure to deliver results.
“The same kind of questions you’re asking me, you should be asking (National Institutes of Health) researchers,” Fulgoni said.
It’s true that industry-funded studies
don’t have a monopoly on the problems in
scientific research. Still, Marion Nestle, a professor of nutrition at New York University (and
no relation to the food company) said unlike
other research, industry-funded studies “are
designed and produced to be useful in marketing. The hypotheses are market driven.”
In the past year, 156 of the 168 industryfunded studies Nestle reviewed showed favorable results for sponsors. She said playing up
nutritional perks has become a critical marketing tool in the competitive food industry.
“The only thing that moves sales,” she
said, “is health claims.”
“TROLLS”
The documents show how researchers
can be motivated by financial concerns. In
2010, Nicklas said in an email she decided
against attending a General Mills health summit because she didn’t want to “jeopardize”
a proposal the group planned to submit to
Kellogg. For another project, Fulgoni advised
O’Neil against adding data.
“I suggest we focus on these first and
‘hook’ Kellogg for more funding before conducting more analyses,” he wrote.
For the paper on candy-eating children,
a disclosure says the funders had no role in
the “design, analysis or writing of this manuscript.” But emails obtained from LSU show
the National Confectioners Association made
a number of suggestions.
“You’ll note I took most but not (all) their
comments,” Fulgoni wrote to O’Neil about the
paper in 2010.
“I have finally waded through the comments from NCA. Attached is my attempt to
edit based on their feedback,” he wrote about
a similar paper on candy consumption among
adults.
The trumpeting of their research was
also carefully timed. In June 2011, a candy
association representative emailed O’Neil a
critical article about a professor with industry
ties.
“I’d like to monitor the fallout from this
story, and give a little bit of distance to our research piece. I do not want to put you in the
crossfire of a media on a rampage,” wrote Laura Muma of FoodMinds, an agency that represented the candy association.
Fulgoni said the group runs manuscripts
by clients to check for errors or omissions.
“It’s more using them as a set of eyes to
make sure we haven’t forgotten something,”
he said.
O’Neil said she takes only “grammatical
corrections from the clients — I can’t speak for
the others.”
For the paper about candy and children,
Chris Gindlesperger, a spokesman for the
National Confectioners Association, said the
group was given “the courtesy of reviewing
the manuscript” and that its suggestions did
not change results. He said other research not
funded by industry came to the same conclusion, citing a paper that analyzed multiple studies.
O’Neil said she believed it was important to research foods such as nuts and milk
to know whether they’re good for you, and
that it is diﬃcult to get government funding
for such studies. She said Fulgoni’s consulting
business, Nutrition Impact, gets most of the
funding for their projects and that she receives
reimbursements for costs such as travel, but
no salary compensation. As research faculty,
O’Neil is expected to publish.
A Baylor College of Medicine representative, Lori Williams, said all research
funding goes through the college. She said
the college did not receive payment from the
candy association or Nutrition Impact for the
paper on children and candy co-authored by
Nicklas.
The records obtained by the AP show
Nicklas sent Nutrition Impact an invoice for
$11,500 for three manuscripts in 2011, including $2,500 for “candy.” After being provided
a copy of the invoice, Williams said the school
began a review “surrounding funding and
disclosures on this research.”
“We take this very seriously, and your
information is of significant concern to our
leadership at the College,” Williams wrote.
Papers co-authored by O’Neil and Nicklas also list support from the U.S. Department
of Agriculture — general funding the two professors receive from the department through
their respective universities for research
work.
—Another paper by the co-authors
found a link between chickpeas and hummus
and better nutrient intake. It was funded by
Sabra Dipping Co. and a disclosure says funders had no input in drafting the manuscript.
But Sabra provided feedback that was
incorporated. For a line on the benefits of “recipes made from chickpeas,” for instance, it
suggested tacking on, “such as hummus.”
Sabra said it received a courtesy review
for “providing clarifying notes and ensuring
accuracy of product data.”
The International Life Sciences Institute, which is funded by companies including
McDonald’s, Red Bull and Unilever, encourages scientific collaboration with industry. Eric
Hentges, its executive director, said sponsors
have long been able to provide comments to
ensure excellency, but that authors have the
final say.
Hentges said the goal is to improve quality — not change the results.
—For a study comparing breakfasts for
children, the American Egg Board asked a
University of Arkansas researcher to explain
in a progress report the implications of her
study for the egg industry.
“This could lead to increase(d) sales and
profits,” wrote Jamie Baum, an assistant professor of nutrition.
In a statement, Baum said it is standard
for funders to ask about industry implications.
She said she applies the same scientific rigor
regardless of the funder.
An egg board representative, Mitch Kanter, said opinions about industry implications
are irrelevant to the integrity of the research.
—Coca-Cola’s former chief science oﬃcer, Rhona Applebaum, referred to industry
critics as “trolls” in one of her regular emails
with company-backed researchers, according
to documents obtained from West Virginia
University, where one of the researchers is the
dean of the school of public health.
The roles of scientists and marketers sometimes blurred.

Where Did Dogs Come From? There May Be Two Answers.
By JAMES GORMAN
S
cientists have done well in scouring the
DNA of humans to track our origins to
the African continent.
But the ancient origins of an animal that is
an honorary member of many human families
has remained in doubt: We still don’t know
where dogs came from.
A group of scientists who are in the middle
of a grand examination of canine fossils and
modern DNA proposed Thursday to turn the
whole conversation on its head.
Suppose dogs didn’t evolve in one place,
they suggested, but two. What if domestication
of ancient wolves happened in both Asia and
Europe — diﬀerent wolves, diﬀerent people?
Laurent Frantz and Greger Larson of
Oxford University and an international team
of scientists who are all part of a dog domestication project run out of Oxford, made the new
argument in a paper published in the journal
Science. They make clear that although they
think their explanation best suits the available
evidence, more evidence is needed to confirm
it.
Scientists who were not part of the study
agreed on the need for more evidence.
“It’s an intriguing hypothesis,” Adam Boyko, a canine geneticist at Cornell University,
said.
John Novembre, a geneticist at the University of Chicago, described the idea as “very
provocative”
“It’s a hypothesis,” was as far as Peter Savolainen, a geneticist at the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, would go. Dr. Savolainen has argued strongly, with limited support
from other researchers, that dogs originated in
East Asia, which, he noted, fits with at least
half of the paper’s conclusion.
The notion of a dual origin of dogs is some-
thing new for geneticists, but Dr. Larson said
archaeologists have long considered the possibility that dogs were domesticated more than
once.
Separate domestications have occurred
with other animals. Dr. Larson and Keith Dobney of Liverpool University found that wild
boars were domesticated twice, once in China
and once in Anatolia, part of modern Turkey.
For the new study, Dr. Larson and Dr. Frantz
obtained DNA sequences from 59 ancient dogs
and a complete genome from a 4,800-year-olddog fossil found at Newgrange, a well-known
archaeological site in County Meath, Ireland.
They also analyzed other DNA evidence.
They found a deep split between two
groups — modern East Asian dogs and those
from the Middle East and Europe.
They calculated mutation rates based on
the known age of the Irish dog and considered
archaeological evidence of migrations as well.
They said the overall picture
could be explained two ways —
by dogs originating in East Asia
and then migrating west, or by
dogs originating in Europe and
Asia. They said there was a lack
of archaeological evidence for an
early, steady spread of dogs from
an Eastern origin. And, they said,
dog fossils from Europe dating to
15,000 years ago predated known
migrations.
So they concluded that dogs
most likely originated both in
Europe and in Asia. The Asian
dogs then migrated with humans to Western Europe and the
Middle East.
Although the new explanation may seem to complicate an
already tangled discussion, Dr.
Larson says it actually clears
up confusion by explaining two
competing ideas, the western and
eastern origins of dogs.
Because of the dog domestication project and other current
studies of ancient DNA, this is
one scientific dispute that may
well be solved.
“It’s really an exciting moment,” said Dr. Savolainen.
We may soon know where
dogs come from. But not just yet.

Weightlifters Compete in Pan-Ams
P
uerto Ricans weightlifters seek a passage
to the Rio 2016 Olympic Games at the Pan
American Weightlifting Championships
in Cartagena, Colombia, to be held from 5 to 12
June.
In this competition they are fighting for four
places in the women and seven in the men’s for
the Americas.
The Federation of Weightlifting of Puerto
Rico sent a group of 13 athletes to the competition.
The women’s team consists of veteran Lely
Burgos (48 kg), Stephanie Burgos (58 kg), Gilyeliz Guzman (58 kg) Flavia Reyes (63 kg), Kirdashia Lopez (75 kg) and Keishla Rodríguez (+75
kg).
Men who aspire to obtain Olympic qualification are led by experienced weightlifter Moises
Cartagena (94kg), with Brian Guzman (56 kg),
Jorge Sanchez (69 kg), Christian Rodriguez (77
kg), Alexander Hernandez (85 kg) Juan Soto (94
kg) and Heriberto Rivera (+105 kg).
According to the federative president Andres Vargas, aspirations are to get a ticket in
both branches.
He stressed that the chances for a place in
women for Rio fall mainly in Burgos, who participated in the London 2012 Olympic Games, without ruling out the performance of the rest of
the team members, as Reyes, who participated
in the Central American and Caribbean Games
Veracruz 2014, Guzman, current Pan American
champion Sub 20.
“We hope we classify and to that end to find
a place in both branches. Would not classify
considering asking for a “wild card” or a direct
invitation to the competition, “said Vargas.
He also acknowledged that despite being in
a strong region, it is possible to obtain the classifications are aspiring athletes.
Countries like the United States, Colombia
and Canada already have secured their places
in the women. While in the men Colombia is the
only country with athletes qualified for Rio.
With this in mind weightlifters Puerto Ricans have been preparing over the past months
in various training center in the country, such
as the Olympic Village in Salinas.
Except Cartagena Burgos and the rest of the
athletes are in their first aspiration for Olympic
qualification. For Vargas this can serve as an advantage over the competition.
“It’s an advantage because they have the
desire and hunger to compete for Puerto Rico.
This is the group that will open the new Olympic cycle for us (the federation), “said federation
president.
According to federation
president Andrés Vargas,
aspirations are to qualify in
both branches.
Young Basketball Players from Public Schools Recognized
M
ore than 30 athletes featured in the discipline of
basketball were honored Senator District Carolina, Pedro A. Rodríguez González, and Mayor of
Luquillo, Jerry “Jesus” Marquez Rodriguez.
The tribute took place in the Hall Yiye Avila Senate,

event on the occasion were given to participation in the
Tournament of High Schools Department of Education of

gets hurt just before the tournament, you’re
probably in trouble. So Keylor Navas is hurt
and Costa Rica is in trouble.
Lucky for them, there’s only one really
good team in their group (Colombia). They
overcame more at the 2014 World Cup.
10. Peru - Paolo Guerrero the hero or bust.
9. Paraguay - The Paraguay of Gerardo
Martino Era might have had a chance to win
Copa America Centenario. But this team, not
so much. You can’t bet against them winning
a penalty shootout if they make the knockout
stages, though.
8. United States - Where does the USA
stand five years into Jurgen Klinsmann’s reign?
The U.S. could make the semifinals or even
final of this tournament. They might also go
three and out in an embarrassing group stage.
If you think you have any idea what this American team will do, you’re crazy.
7. Ecuador - Los Amarillos don’t have any
stars. They just have a share of the top spot in
South American qualifying. But they also have
no wins in 2016. Good luck trying to figure
them out.
6. Colombia - Colombia haven’t been at
their best for much of the last two years and
their once fearsome strikers are looking a little
thin with Carlos Bacca the only surefire finisher
in the team. But they do have Bacca. And James
Rodriguez. And Juan Cuadrado. And Cristian
Zapata. And damn this team is still good.
5. Chile - La Roja won Copa America last
year, but that was on home soil and they’ve lost
four of their last five matches. Still, good luck
dealing with Arturo Vidal and Gary Medel
up the middle, or Alexis Sanchez’s runs. If you
beat Chile you will have earned it.
4. Uruguay If Luis Suarez was 100 percent
fit, Uruguay are at least third, probably second
and even have a case for first. But he’s not and
at this point, we’re just guessing at what his status is.
3. Brazil - Teams three through five in this
ranking (maybe even six) are pretty fluid. You
can make a case for any of them in any order
and picking Brazil here is putting a lot on
Dunga’s shoulders. But Dunga has shown that
his teams can play well in big tournaments (remember Copa America 2007?) and even when
his teams have gone out, they didn’t roll over. It
took a good Netherlands team to edge them out
of the 2010 World Cup and they fell in penalties
in last year’s Copa America.
So yeah, I’m betting on Dunga making
Brazil function in a tournament that could get
weird. That’s probably dumb, but here we are.
2. Mexico - El Tri have three good options
at goalkeeper. The midfield is stacked and Chicharito leads a group of forwards that are both
highly talented and in great form.
1. Argentina - Can Leo Messi finally lift a
trophy for Argentina?
Messi’s injury isn’t great, but he should be
good to go by Argentina’s opener. And Lucas
Biglia’s injury weakens their midfield.
But Messi. And Sergio Aguero. Gonzalo
Higuain. And Angel Di Maria. And Javier Mascherano. And at some point Argentina have to
break their trophy drought, right? Messi can’t
retire without a trophy.
FIFA Says: Blatter and Deputies Arranged Huge Payouts After Indictments
F
IFA announced that three former top officials arranged to pay themselves more
than $80 million over the past five years,
including promises of tens of millions of dollars in payments that were quietly approved
last May only days after the indictments of
a host of top FIFA executives on corruption
charges.
In a statement, FIFA accused the three
oﬃcials — the former president Sepp Blatter
and his former deputies Jérôme Valcke and
Markus Kattner — of mounting a “coordinated eﬀort” to enrich themselves through a
series of raises, bonuses and other payments.
The three also were accused of modifying the termination clauses in some of their
employment contracts to ensure that they
would receive multimillion-dollar payouts
even if they were fired for cause, according
to lawyers from the American firm Quinn
Emanuel, which has been hired by FIFA to
investigate its organization.
“They had the authority they needed,”
Quinn Emanuel wrote of Mr. Blatter, Mr. Valcke and Mr. Kattner, “and they simply told
payroll and HR, the department generally in
charge for employment contracts at FIFA and
which reported to Mr. Kattner, how much
should be paid out and to whom.”
In a statement responding to FIFA’s accusations, Mr. Blatter’s lawyer, Richard Cullen, said, “We look forward to showing FIFA
that Mr. Blatter’s compensation payments
were proper, fair and in line with the heads
of major professional sports leagues around
the world.”
None of the three men currently work
for FIFA. Mr. Blatter was banned from soccer
by FIFA in December and replaced by a new
president, Gianni Infantino, in an election in
February. FIFA suspended Mr. Valcke, Mr.
Blatter’s longtime deputy, last fall and fired
him in January amid accusations of corruption. Mr. Valcke was replaced temporarily as
secretary general by FIFA’s finance director,
Mr. Kattner. That eﬀectively placed Mr. Kattner in control of FIFA’s finances in the months
leading to this year’s presidential election,
but he, too, was fired in May after FIFA said it
had discovered he had breached his fiduciary
duty to the organization.
The details of Quinn Emanuel’s investigation deflected attention — at least momentarily — away from two other FIFA stories
this week: the news that the Swiss attorney
general’s oﬃce had conducted a new raid on
FIFA headquarters in Zurich on Friday as
part of an ongoing investigation into possible
corruption, and recent issues regarding transparency that have plagued Mr. Infantino.
Earlier this week, a German newspaper reported that Mr. Infantino had worked behind
the scenes to marginalize FIFA’s independent
auditor in a leadership power struggle.
That situation came to light when the
auditor, Domenico Scala, abruptly resigned
at FIFA’s recent Congress in Mexico, saying
that Mr. Infantino and others had orchestrated a change in FIFA’s bylaws that shifted the
power to hire and fire the independent ethics
oﬃcials to FIFA’s new governing council — a
body led by Mr. Infantino.
FIFA has defended Mr. Infantino by saying the shift was done to protect the organization against the possibility it might be unable
to separate itself from individuals who come
under investigation, but the optics seemed to
run counter to Mr. Infantino’s professed support for reform and his stated goal of greater
separation of powers at FIFA.
Then last week came the German report
that said Mr. Infantino had instructed FIFA
staﬀ members to delete recordings of an executive session in which removing Mr. Scala
had been discussed. Mr. Scala, as part of his
role leading the audit and compliance committee, also was responsible for setting Mr.
Infantino’s salary — a process that reportedly
had gone poorly, with Mr. Infantino describing Mr. Scala’s initial proposal of a $2 million
salary as “insulting.”
Following that article, another German
newspaper reported that Mr. Infantino was
under investigation for a potential ethics violation. FIFA has denied there is any active
investigation against Mr. Infantino.
All of this comes as FIFA tries to emerge
from the worst corruption scandal in its history, a period which began just over a year
ago, when more than a dozen soccer and
sports marketing oﬃcials with ties to world
soccer’s governing body were arrested in predawn raids before a FIFA meeting in Zurich.
Several have pleaded guilty to corruption
charges in the United States, including more
FIFA executives arrested in a second Zurich
raid in December.
All of those executives worked at the
FIFA led by Mr. Blatter, Mr. Valcke and Mr.
Kattner, so it was not surprising that more
detailed allegations against the three men
might emerge. In its news release on Friday,
FIFA and its lawyers accused Mr. Blatter, Mr.
Valcke and Mr. Kattner of working together
to bulk up their compensation in agreements
as far back as 2007. The evidence, the lawyers
said, revealed breaches of fiduciary duty and
also raised questions about FIFA’s internal
financial controls, especially the role of its
compensation subcommittee.
Jérôme Valcke, left, and Sepp Blatter are accused of mounting a “coordinated eﬀort” to enrich themselves.

HOROSCOPE
Aries
(Mar 21-April 20)
Keep an open mind when working with people from diﬀerent backgrounds. Although their beliefs don’t mesh with
yours, that doesn’t mean you cannot work together. Do
your best to establish a pleasant relationship. Find common ground if you can. Resist the temptation to convert
them or challenge their ideas. Maintaining a professional
attitude could pave the way to a friendship.
Libra
(Sep 24-Oct 23)
Dwelling on small disappointments is making you miserable. Concentrate on what is going well in your life. Make
a gratitude list. At first, it will be diﬃcult to find anything
for which you are thankful. After listing one or two items,
you’ll become more aware of all the blessings you enjoy.
When it comes to dealing with people, check the impulse
to criticise and correct.
Taurus
It will be challenging to access money that is owed to
you. An insurance refund, legal settlement or dividend
is being held by an institution that is reluctant to part
with it. Make sure you have all the necessary documents before going to claim it. You should also have several diﬀerent forms of identification to cover all your
bases. Calling ahead to confirm the hours of operation
is also advised.
(April 21-May 21)
You’re working hard but don’t see much benefit. It’s time
to readjust your priorities. Devoting more energy to the
people and activities you love will attract abundance.
When you’re happy, it’s easy to find lucrative jobs and
great bargains. Working around the clock makes you bitter and resentful. This causes opportunity to be repelled.
Make up your mind to pursue a lifestyle that makes you
happy. After that, all your other goals will fall into place.
Gemini
(May 22-June 21)
Sagittarius
A close relationship is experiencing strain. Part of the
problem is a tendency for you to be hypercritical of
your loved one. Although you’ve been suﬀering from
their inconsiderate behaviour, the problem only gets
worse when you complain. It’s time to sit down and
craft a realistic strategy for overcoming this problem.
You may not realise it, but your friend really wants your
approval.
Cancer
(June 22-July 23)
Scorpio
(Oct 24-Nov 22)
(Nov 23-Dec 21)
Getting caught up in the material world will hinder
your progress. Instead of focusing on making more
money, put more energy towards relationships instead. Spending quality time with your best friend or
romantic partner will help you grow. It’s important for
you to pay more attention to the kind gestures loved
ones perform on your behalf. Be more vocal about your
appreciation.
Capricorn
(Dec 22-Jan 20)
You’re not feeling particularly energetic. Stop pushing
yourself past the breaking point. If you have to stop
work early and take a nap, do so. You may benefit
from eating small meals throughout the day instead of
three bigger ones. Staying away from stressful situations and toxic people can also restore your vitality. As
always in situations like this, it helps to get a medical
consultation. Make health your first priority.
You feel like you’ve been abandoned by your nearest
and dearest. In truth, you have simply fallen out of
touch. Personal and professional responsibilities have
allowed much time to socialise. As a result, you have
fallen oﬀ your friends’ radar. It will take time and persistence to reconnect. Eventually, the frost that has developed between you will thaw and you can resume
your bond.

It’s diﬃcult to lighten up and be spontaneous. It feels like
you’re drowning in chores. Stop going over long lists of
jobs you have yet to perform. Doing something fun will
break the cycle of despondency. A grim taskmaster will
criticise you for playing when you should be working.
Ignore their forbidding attitude. You operate much better
when you’re having fun. Once you return from a pleasant outing, you’ll get straight down to business.
Someone who has taken advantage of your generosity
wants another favour. Be prepared to turn them away.
There’s a good chance this manipulator will try to lay a
guilt trip on you. Don’t be swayed by their emotional
appeals. You have better things to do with your time
and resources. Instead of coming to this irresponsible
person’s rescue over and over, you should be focusing
on activities that give you pleasure.

Pisces
Resist the temptation to stay home. Go out and socialise, even if it means introducing yourself to strangers.
Mixing with people will lift your spirits and put you
in the path of luck. Recently, you’ve had diﬃculty getting support for bold ideas. Take this opportunity to
practice your sales pitch. This positive feedback will
bolster your confidence and make it easier to defend
your proposals.
(Feb 20-Mar 20)
A lack of professional opportunity is dampening your
spirits. You are a natural leader and don’t enjoy playing
a supporting role. Unfortunately, there aren’t many openings for the kind of work you would like to do. Patience and persistence will pay oﬀ. Meantime, channel your
restless energy into a personal project that gives you
pleasure. Flexing your creative muscles will be a welcome diversion from worrying about work.
