By Samoa News Staff

It was a case of mistaken identity for some locals who thought a swarm of palolo had been found in Faga-neanea and Laulii last week.

Turns out, the swarms were indeed worms, but not the slimy delicacy that many were hoping for.

Last Tuesday, January 3, villagers in Faganeanea reported seeing swarms of worms on the village reef. Two nights later, residents in Laulii claimed to have seen similar swarms.

Employees of the Fisheries Division of the Department of Marine and Wildlife Resources (DMWR) obtained samples from the Faganeanea reef and determined that the worms were not palolo.

“The samples showed the worms and apparently their sex parts, which were presumed to be released during spawning episodes this week,” according to a statement from DMWR. “This is different from palolo swarms, which is mostly com-posed of sex parts of the worms.”

DMWR staff report that the worms that appeared last week

were also smaller, and had bristles on its sides. They believe the worms may be fire worms that spawned from the reefs in the waters at the two aforementioned sites.

Those who saw the swarms in Laulii told Samoa News that the worms were spotted during the early evening hours, and their appearance caused a little excitement as, for a brief moment, it was thought that a palolo swarm had arrived unexpectedly.

According to DMWR, October to April has been previ-ously recorded as spawning season for both fish and inverte-brates in American Samoa. “A previous study by the depart-ment showed spawning of corals and sea cucumber, in a study conducted in Fagaalu.”

So the marine worm swarming observed last week, based on information released by DMWR, is consistent with the previous study’s findings. However, “this is the first time a swarming of worms and their sex parts was observed for another species here in the Territory.”

Swarms are fire worms, NOT palolo

by Samoa News staffThe American Samoa Visitors

Bureau has released details of official holiday travel packages for American Samoa through Hawaiian Airlines, which is working in conjunction with its trade partner — All About Tours — an Oregon-based wholesale tour operator.

Visitors Bureau Executive Director David Vaeafe said the packages are a first for the US market and are aimed at leisure, business and visiting friends and relative’s travelers to American Samoa.

“Never before have we had such exclusive deals at these fantastic rates and we’ll be showcasing them at the consumer travel shows we’re par-ticipating in the US over the next few months,” he said in announcing the travel packages through the Visitors Bureau’s January 2017 eNewsletter, which is also distributed to various travel and tour operators globally last Friday.

Visitors Bureau Deputy Director Vaito’a Hans Langkilde had first revealed during a cabinet meeting late last month that the agency was working with Hawaiian Air on travel package for American Samoa as part of a new plan for “industry development” and that the travel package would allow travelers from US cities — including New York City on the East Coast — that are served by Hawaiian Air to visit American Samoa and that the travel package includes airfares, hotel room and rental car. (See Samoa News edition on Dec. 28 for details)

According to the Visitors Bureau eNewsletter, the “exclusive holiday packages to American Samoa from the US” are valid for travel throughout the year. The travel package, which includes airfare and seven-nights

Former Deputy Police Com-missioner Filifa’atali Michael Fuiava has been designated Acting Director of the Agricul-ture Department, according to Gov. Lolo Matalasi Moliga’s latest cabinet appointments, which includes re-appointment of previous directors from the last four years for three other ASG departments.

AGRICuLTuRE dIRECTOR POST

“Pending nomination and confirmation” by the Fono, Filifa’atali has been designated as Acting DOA Director and he will serve in this post effective Jan. 9, today, according to the governor’s memo released last Friday afternoon.

Filifa’atali is the current chairman of the LBJ Medical Center board of directors and Samoa News understands that he will be stepping down from the board because of his new appointment.

Filifa’atali served as Deputy Police Commissioner in the past and is currently president of the start-up airline Tausani Airline that has yet to obtain US Federal Aviation Adminis-

tration certification to operate American Samoa’s domestic air service. It remains unclear as to the status of the opera-tion of the airline that received a loan from the Development Bank of American Samoa.

Lealao Melila Purcell, the former director of DOA, served for nearly two years in the posi-tion during the last term of the Togiola Administration, and when the Lolo Administration took the helm of government in 2013 he took over the same cabinet post.

However, since last October, Lealao has been off island for medical reasons and Deputy Director Peter Gurr took on the role of Acting Director.

As previously reported by Samoa News, the governor in a Nov. 22, 2016 memo made an “emergency appointment” of Tapa’au Dr. Daniel Aga to the post of DOA acting director in the absence of the director and the deputy director from the ter-ritory. (See Samoa News edi-tion Nov. 28 for details).

DOA Deputy Director Peter Gurr, a career service employee with the department for about 24 years, had been acting director in the absence

of Lealao. Samoa News under-stands that Gurr didn’t apply for the DOA directorship post.

Last Friday, Gurr and Tapa’au held their last meeting for the transition to the new acting director, who begins today. The DOA staff also had a farewell gathering for Tapa’au, who is executive director of the Office of Political Status, Con-stitution and Federal Relations — an ASG entity that comes under the purview of the Gov-ernor’s Office. OTHER APPOINTMENTS

Also last Friday afternoon the Governor’s Office released separate memos reappointing former cabinet directors from the last four years of the Lolo Administration to head the same departments in the next four years.

• Catherine Aigamaua Saelua — Office of Budget and Planning

• Motusa Tuileama Nua — Department of Health

• Fuiavailili Keniseli Lafaele – Department of Commerce

The memos made clear that “pending nomination and con-firmation” by the Fono, these individuals are designated as acting directors effective today, Jan. 9.

accommodation deals starts from $1,990 from Honolulu and $2,299 from the nine US mainland cities from which Hawaiian Air flies directly to and from — staying at Sadie’s by the Sea, Tradewinds Hotel, Moana O Sina and Tisa’s Bare-foot Bar.

According to Vaeafe, All About Tours will be promoting the deals through a wide range of US consumer travel and

distribution channels. And the eNewsletter provided specific details of travel packages for each of the local accommoda-tions. For inquiries and book-ings contact All About Tours at 800-274-8687 ext 5 (within the US) or email: [email protected]

And the new travel package for American Samoa will be promoted throughout this year at various travel shows.

Vaeafe says the Visitors Bureau and Hawaiian Air’s Pago Pago station will once again partner this year to show-

case American Samoa at the Travel & Adventures in the US. He says staff from both offices will be in their booth to answer any travel questions visitors may have.

The Visitors Bureau and Hawaiian Air’s booth will be at six upcoming travel shows in the next three months, with the first one scheduled for Jan. 14 to 15 at the Washington Conven-tion Center, Washington, DC, while the second show is Feb. 11 to 12 at the Santa Clara Con-vention Center, Santa Clara, California.

Confirmation of appointments of cabinet directors are among the issues the Lolo Admin-istration will submit for Legislative review and consideration when the new 35th Legislature officially opens today where Gov. Lolo Mata-lasi Moliga will deliver his State of the Territory Address.

The joint session of the first day will be held at the newly renovated Fono Guest Fale, starting at 10a.m.

House Speaker Savali Talavou Ale will lead the session while Senate President Gaoteote Tofau Palaie will respond, on behalf of the Fono, to the governor’s address.

In accordance with the constitution, the sit-ting governor delivers the State of the Territory Address on the second Monday of January every year. Issues traditionally covered in the address include the current economic condition, accom-plishments of the executive branch in the pre-vious year and plans for the New Year as well as proposed legislation for Fono consideration.

Status of the economy which has faced serious challenges in 2016, especially in the cannery and fishing industries, and the ASG’s financial status heading into the new year, are two issues that lawmakers and the community are eager to hear from the Lolo Administration, which has started its second four-year term in office.

Perhaps the biggest blow to the local economy, last year, was the reduction of working days for StarKist Samoa and then last month the indefi-nite closure of Samoa Tuna Processors Inc., put-ting nearly 700 people out of work, according to industry officials and political observers.

However, the administration is hoping that

AVM Engineering, the Philippines based com-pany setting up a multi food processing facility at the Tafuna Industrial Park, will be able to at least boost the local economy in 2017 as a new business, supplying new jobs.

There has been no official response from the Governor’s Office on any specific proposed leg-islation the administration plans to submit to the Fono. The governor had hinted during his Inau-guration address on Jan. 3 that he will be asking the Fono’s support on a proposal to address the local budget process — but he didn’t provide additional details.

During a cabinet meeting early last month, the governor said he was looking at submitting a supplemental appropriation for fiscal year 2017 to the Fono, but provided no other details.

Also during the same cabinet meeting, Amer-ican Samoa Community College President Ros-evonne Makaiwi-Pato noted that the college was looking at submitting three proposals to the gov-ernor’s office for review to be sent to the Fono to raise revenues for ASCC, which has already moved to implement cost containment measures.

What is expected to take up a lot of the Fono’s time for the First Regular Session of the 35th Legislature is confirmation hearings for cabinet directors.

As of last Friday afternoon, the governor has appointed 11 acting directors, who are subject to Fono confirmation. (See Samoa News editions Jan. 3, Jan. 6 and today.)

The governor’s re-appointment of Mauga Tasi Asuega as Secretary of Samoan Affairs is not subject to Fono confirmation, as in accor-dance with the local Constitution, the Secretary of Samoan Affairs serves at the pleasure of the sitting governor.

DMWR will be contacting off-island experts to identify — and confirm — the species of the coral reef worm.

For now, the DMWR cau-tions the public to stay out of the water if they come across these worms.

Furthermore, residents are advised not to eat or attempt to collect them.

Fire worms contain toxins in their bristles, which attach to human skin and may cause irri-tation and burning. In very rare cases, a severe allergic reaction may interfere with cardiac and respiratory functions and imme-diate medical treatment at the LBJ Hospital should be sought.

Those who come in contact with the fire worms can use rub-bing alcohol/isopropyl alcohol or vinegar, as these may help alleviate the painful burning sensation. Application of ice or warm water may also ease the pain.

Future sightings of the fire worms should be reported to the Department of Marine and Wildlife Resources at 633-4456.

Through an executive order, which became effective on Jan. 4, Gov. Lolo Matalasi Moliga established the Office of Manu’a Operations, or OMO, its director is appointed by the governor. Additionally, the ASG agency is under the aus-pices of the Governor’s Office.

However, it was unclear last Friday, when the executive order was released by the Gov-ernor’s Office, who has been appointed as the director of the new agency, which will have its headquarters on Ta’u island with an office on Ofu island. It’s expected the Governor’s Office will provide funding for OMO for the rest of current fiscal year 2017 that ends Sept. 30, 2017.

According to the preamble of the six-page executive order, ASG has invested millions of dollars in infrastructure in the Manu’a island group, where the government has already established offices.

The “social and economic development of the Manu’a

should be accelerated after 112 years of neglect and non-activity,” the governor said in the executive order. He iden-tifies the systems that must continue to be enhanced and are essential to Manu’a’s development.

Among the duties, respon-sibilities and functions of OMO is to ensure that all ASG authorities, departments, and offices’ programs for Manu’a are implemented, compliant with the policies.

Regarding the use of ASG vehicles, Lolo says policies articulated and implemented on Tutuila for use of ASG vehicles are implemented in Manu’a.

“Government vehicles shall be used for government func-tions and activities only and they will not be used for per-sonal use or for transportation of family members,” the gov-ernor emphasized.

On the issue of ASG per-sonnel, the governor points out that the policy is that any employee hired to work in Manu’a must be physically located on Manu’a. Addition-

ally, first employment prefer-ence shall be accorded to cur-rent Manu’a residents.

Regarding capital improve-ment projects in Manu’a, the governor made clear that OMO will ensure that appropriate monitoring of such projects and the OMO director is charged with monitoring the projects.

According to the governor OMO will work with depart-ments of Agriculture, Com-merce, Marine and Wildlife Resources as well as the Amer-ican Samoa Visitors Industry board to forge implementation of programs and projects to advance the viability “of our economic goals inherent in the development of agriculture, fisheries, tourism processing and manufacturing of indig-enous products.”

OMO will also collaborate with DOC, the Development Bank of American Samoa and the Territorial Bank of Amer-ican Samoa to promote the development of private sector businesses in the Manu’a islands.

Translated by Samoa News staffMICHAEL AGASIVA

Following a hearing last Friday, in which three Public Safety Department officials testified after being subpoenaed, District Court Judge Fiti A. Sunia ordered the release from the Territorial Correc-tional Facility a man, who had refused to twice appear in court.

The man in question is Michael Agasiva, who was taken into custody two weeks ago while the government worked on final-izing charges against him. It’s not clear yet as to why Agasiva was taken into custody and what the charges were against him.

TCF officials told Samoa News last Friday that Agasiva had been released from jail for some time now after he served the required jail time after being sentenced in 2011 for assaulting another person in 2009.

In the new case, Agasiva was taken into custody, but he had refused to appear in court twice for his hearing, prompting Sunia to issue subpoenas for three TCF officials, who appeared in court last Friday morning, for failing to bring Agasiva to the hearings — including one last Thursday morning.

TCF officials who appeared in court were deputy police com-missioner Vaimaga Maiava, TCF warden Commander Foifua Foifua and the police officer, who was responsible for arresting Agasiva and bringing him to court.

The court heard statements from the three officials, while Sunia told them that the court depends on DPS to carry out its duties in order for the justice system to move forward with cases. And if DPS fails, that means there is a delay in the court carrying out its mandate as outlined in the constitution, he says.

At the conclusion of the hearing, Sunia ordered that Agasiva be released from TCF, while the government and the court start all over again the process of filing charges against Agasiva as well as a new arrest warrant to be issued by the court once the government has filed the charges. As of last Friday afternoon, Agasiva was released from jail while the government works on filing charges sometime this week.

MANILA, Philippines (AP) — A massive crowd of mostly barefoot Filipino Roman Catholic devotees on Monday joined an annual procession of a centuries-old statue of Jesus Christ held under tight security due to fears of a possible attack following the killing of a sus-pected Islamic extremist leader.

The U.S. and British embas-sies asked their citizens to take precautions, and the police warned that local Muslim mili-tants trying to align themselves with the Islamic State group may try to attack the procession of the wooden Black Nazarene with a cross along Manila’s streets.

National police chief Ronald Dela Rosa says authorities have not monitored any specific threat but warned that followers of a Muslim extremist leader killed in a clash with police last week may retaliate by attacking the procession.

Mohammad Jaafar Maguid, leader of a small but violent Islamic group called Ansar Al Khilafah Philippines, died in a gunbattle Thursday in Saran-gani province in the country’s south. Three of his companions were captured.

On Saturday, a suspect linked to Maguid’s group and a Filipina were killed when they allegedly tried to lob a grenade at policemen Saturday to evade arrest in Sarangani.

Maguid’s group has been linked to a failed plot to bomb Rizal Park and the nearby U.S. Embassy in Manila in November.

Authorities have imposed a gun ban, prohibited drones and backpacks, and jammed cell-phone signals along the vicinity of the procession, which was guarded by thousands of police and troops.

Despite the fears and heavy security, police said about 470,000 people gathered over-night to be able to touch the

lifesize statue at the Rizal Park then joined the start of the rau-cous procession at daybreak. It was not possible to confirm the crowd estimate.

Devotees jostled around a carriage carrying the statue and threw small towels at vol-unteers on the carriage to wipe parts of the cross and the statue in the belief that the Nazarene’s mystical powers to cure ail-ments and provide good health and fortune will rub off on them.

Benjamin Tayzon, a 64-year-old businessman, brought some of his children and grandchil-dren, to one of Asia’s largest religious gatherings, although he lost two toes in 1990 when the wheels of the carriage car-rying the Black Nazarene ran over his left foot. The accident, he said, may have been God’s way of telling him that he has committed too many sins.

“It’s a remembrance, like a tattoo that can never be erased,” Tayzon told The Associated Press as he walked barefoot, carrying a small replica of the statue on his head.

The lifesize statue, crowned with thorns and bearing a cross, is believed to have been brought from Mexico to Manila on a galleon in 1606 by Spanish missionaries. The ship that carried it caught fire, but the charred statue survived. Some believe the statue’s sur-vival from fires and earth-quakes through the centuries, and intense bombings during World War II, is a testament to its mystical powers.

The spectacle reflects the country’s unique brand of Catholicism, which includes folk superstitions, in Asia’s largest Catholic nation. Dozens of Filipinos have themselves nailed to crosses on Good Friday in another tradition to emulate Christ’s suffering that draws huge crowds each year.

JOCELYN NOVECK, Associated Press

Donald Trump was not in attendance at the Golden Globes, but he was there in spirit — or more precisely, as the target of a slew of political barbs, not to mention an impassioned takedown by actress Meryl Streep.

Only a few seconds into his monologue, host Jimmy Fallon noted that the Globes was “one of the few places left where America still honors the popular vote.”

He was just getting started. Fallon went on to compare the president-elect to the evil King Jof-frey in “Game of Thrones.”

“What would it be like if King Joffrey had lived?” Fallon asked. “Well, in 12 days we’re going to find out.”

In an interview with the New York Times, Trump said he did not watch the Golden Globes but was “not surprised” he was attacked by “lib-eral movie people.”

Streep took things in a much more serious direction, excoriating Trump without men-tioning his name in an impassioned speech as she accepted the Cecil B. DeMille Award.

The much-respected actress, who spoke on behalf of Hillary Clinton at this year’s Demo-cratic National Convention, said the “perfor-mance” that had most stunned her this year was when Trump had mocked a disabled reporter.

“It was the moment when the person asking to sit in the most respected seat in our country imitated a disabled reporter, someone he out-ranked in privilege, power and the capacity to fight back,” Streep said. “This instinct to humil-iate, when it’s modeled by someone ... powerful, it filters down into everybody’s life. Because it kind of gives permission for other people to do the same thing.”

In his interview with the Times, Trump called Streep a “Hillary lover” and heatedly denounced her comments about his perceived treatment of the disabled reporter. “People keep saying I intended to mock the reporter’s disability, as if Meryl Streep and others could read my mind, and I did no such thing,” Trump said.

Streep also referenced Trump’s policies on immigration when she pointedly listed the multi-cultural heritage of many Hollywood actors.

“Hollywood is crawling with outsiders and foreigners and if you kick them all out, you’ll have nothing to watch but football and mixed martial arts, which are not the arts,” Streep said, to cheers.

In Fallon’s monologue, he referred to a Streep film, “Florence Foster Jenkins,” in which she stars as “the worst opera singer in the world.” Fallon added: “Even she turned down per-forming at Trump’s inauguration.”

The mournful drama “Manchester by the Sea,” he joked, was “the only thing from 2016 that was more depressing than 2016.” He also noted that votes were tabulated by the accounting firm of “Ernst & Young & Putin.”

Hugh Laurie, accepting his award for best supporting actor in “The Night Manager,” also indulged in Trump jokes, speculating that this would perhaps be the last Golden Globes ceremony.

“I don’t mean to be gloomy, but it has the words ‘Hollywood,’ ‘foreign’ and ‘press’ in the title,” Laurie said, explaining his pessimism about the awards surviving the Trump era. He added that some Republicans don’t even like the word “association.”

He accepted his award “on behalf of psycho-pathic billionaires everywhere.”

TONy LEATuALEVAOWith both sides unable to reach a plea agreement

in the case of an elementary school teacher accused of striking one of his students, the High Court has now moved forward with a jury trial later this year. The court has to check with the Clerk of the Court for the jury trial date and inform attorneys for both sides.

Tony Leatualevao, who is charged with child abuse and endangering the welfare of a child, appeared last Friday in High Court for his pre trial conference hearing. And attorneys for both sides informed the court that they weren’t able to reach a plea agreement and therefore the defense requests to move forward with a jury trial.

While the motion for trial was granted, Chief Jus-tice Michael Kruse cautioned both sides of previous practices in which a plea agreement is all of sudden reached one week or a few days before trial. Kruse says the court is displeased with this type of practice that continues to happen over and over again.

The charges against the defendant stem from a Nov. 2 incident where Leatualevao ordered the 11-year old victim, a student, to stand in front of the class and then the teacher struck his buttocks with a wooden paddle, the court filings say.

The student further stated that Leatualevao struck him five times on his buttocks. The student explained that the pain was almost unbearable and that he could barely sit down during class time. The mother filed a complaint against the teacher on Nov. 3. Leatualevao is out on bail.

As previously reported by Samoa News, at the outset of the case, Leatualevao was also charged with first-degree assault, which was later dismissed by the District Court during a preliminary examina-tion hearing in mid November last year due to lack of evidence.

WELLINGTON, New Zea-land (AP) — Unusually warm winds and seas helped make last year the hottest ever recorded in New Zealand.

The average temperature during 2016 was 13.4 Celsius (56.1 Fahrenheit), according to a report released Monday by the National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research.

That was nearly 1 degree Celsius warmer than normal and fractionally hotter than the previous record set in 1998. The climate agency began keeping records in 1909.

Agency forecaster Chris Brandolino said ocean tem-peratures around New Zealand were warmer than normal for the first seven months of 2016 and that winds during the year came more often than usual from the north rather than the cooler south.

He said there was no clear reason for the 2016 changes but that they had come against a backdrop of global warming caused by increased carbon emissions.

“We are expecting tem-peratures to continue to rise,” Brandolino said. “It’s very concerning.”

New Zealand’s economy relies on farming, an industry which is particularly dependent on the weather.

Anders Crofoot, the vice president for advocacy group Federated Farmers, said sheep and beef farmers in north Can-terbury were hit by a drought last year.

He said one downside of cli-mate change was the possibility of more volatile weather, such as heavy but infrequent rainfall.

He said in the longer term, climate change could force farmers like kiwifruit growers to move or consider alternative crops as the weather became less favorable to them.

He added that certain crops like avocados and oranges could benefit from warmer weather.

He said farmers were beginning to talk about cli-mate change more and to con-sider it their planning. He said many farmers were trying to find ways to reduce their own carbon emissions and farm more efficiently.

2016 was hottest year ever recorded in New Zealand

In this Tuesday, Dec. 13, 2016 photo, people gather on the sand at Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia. Sydney residents sweltered through the city’s second hottest night on record and its hottest December night in 148 years, with many cooling off at beaches long after dark. A minimum of 27.1 degrees Celsius (80.8 degrees Fahrenheit) was recorded in Australia’s largest city early Wednesday, Australian Bureau of Meteorology forecaster Jordan Notara said.

NEW YORK (AP) — Dan Zhong’s two-story home in Liv-ingston, New Jersey, is unremarkable by suburban standards, but the businessman’s lawyers have told a judge he is willing to pay $144,000 per month to turn the place into a private jail where he can comfortably await trial on charges he exploited immigrant Chinese laborers.

His proposal is the latest example of wealthy people facing potentially long prison terms who have asked to finance their own, extravagant house arrests, highlighting inequities between them and defendants of lesser means who languish behind bars and spawning a cottage industry of former federal agents and police officers working as private guards.

Zhong, 47, a former Chinese diplomat and legal U.S. resident, is accused of forcing immigrants to work on construction projects at Chinese diplomatic facilities in the U.S.

For now, he’s a prisoner at the fortress-like Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. But he has resources other pris-oners don’t. His uncle is a Chinese billionaire, Wang Wenliang, who has drawn scrutiny over his large donations to American political campaigns and nonprofits like the Clinton Foundation.

Hiring a security firm to ensure Zhong doesn’t flee the property “is a very, very expensive proposition,” defense attorney Thomas Fitzpatrick said at a hearing late last year. “His family in China is willing to spend that money to get him out of the MDC.”

Prosecutors so far have won the fight to deny Zhong release on $10 million bail, in part by arguing that his finances are too murky. Another hearing is scheduled for Monday.

If a judge approved the scheme, Zhong would join a short but notable list of loaded defendants who turned their New York-area homes into a gilded cage.

Ponzi scheme mastermind Bernard Madoff was released on $10 million bail and allowed to live in his $7 million Manhattan apartment before he was sentenced to a 150-year prison term in 2009.

Former International Monetary Fund leader Dominique Strauss-Kahn posted $5 million bail so he could stay, under guard, in his Manhattan townhouse in 2011 until charges accusing him of sexually assaulting a hotel maid were dropped.

More recently, a judge released Chinese billionaire Ng Lap Seng on $50 million bail so he could live in his $4 million Man-hattan apartment, under 24-hour watch by two $200-per-hour security guards, while awaiting trial in a bribery case involving the United Nations.

Other judges have been less hospitable.Last year, U.S. District Judge Richard Berman denied a $50

million private-jail bail bid by gold trader Reza Zarrab, who is charged with violating U.S. sanctions on Iran. Berman called it “unreasonable because it helps to foster inequity and unequal treatment in favor of a very small cohort of criminal defendants who are extremely wealthy.”

Another federal judge in Brooklyn, Nicholas Garaufis, grew disdainful last year when Jacob “Kobi” Alexander, a former tech-nology firm CEO who spent 10 years on the lam in Africa, unsuc-cessfully sought release on $25 million bail in a securities fraud case.

“Spare me. I wasn’t born yesterday,” the judge said.A letter from Guidepost Solutions, a firm headed by former fed-

eral prosecutors, lays out the strict conditions for guarding Zhong, including installing alarms, sensors and cameras at his home and instructing his guards to take cellphones from any visitors — and even use “reasonable force” to keep him from fleeing.

But prosecutors in the U.N. bribery case have questioned Guidepost’s resolve in their contract to secure Ng. In court papers, they complained the defendant was visited by a masseuse 16 times and was allowed to pick up meals at his favorite restaurant in Chinatown.

Before his arrest, Zhong ran a business affiliated with China Rilin Construction Group, owned by his uncle, Wenliang Wang.

Wang has made large donations to Virginia Gov. Terry McAu-liffe. One of his companies, based in New Jersey, gave $70,000 to the Democrat’s gubernatorial campaign and $50,000 to his inau-gural committee in 2013, according to campaign finance records.

Rilin also gave at least $1 million to the Clinton Foundation, according to the foundation.

McAuliffe’s dealings with Wang touched off a federal probe that the governor’s lawyer has said found no wrongdoing. Wang also was among dozens of members of China’s legislature expelled last year in a vote-buying scandal.

DETROIT (AP) — The third movie in Disney Pixar’s “Cars” animated series features an aggressive newcomer to the race circuit who challenges wily veteran Lightning McQueen.

Pixar unveiled new character Jackson Storm and gave away some of the plot for “Cars 3” on Sunday at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit. It also drove out a life-sized version of McQueen with new red paint and decals that will stay in Detroit through the public portion of the show.

The new character, Jackson Storm, has an angular, lower look and a sinister-looking black body that makes the rounded and upright McQueen look old. “McQueen starts to feel old-fashioned,” said Jay Ward, creative director for the Cars series.

In the original 2006 movie, McQueen is the brash young newcomer who takes over the Piston Cup circuit. Now he’s about to be supplanted by the cocky Storm. As the season

progresses, McQueen’s gen-eration of friends is replaced by newer models.

There’s also a new female character named Cruz Ramirez, a yellow coupe who is McQueen’s trainer as he tries to make a comeback.

Ward said Pixar wanted to capture what NASCAR race cars would look like in the future when it began designing the Jackson Storm car. The studio turned to J Mays, former chief of design at Ford Motor Co. for help with the initial sketches. They came up with the low black body that makes McQueen look obsolete.

Pixar showed a clip of the movie from the final race in the Piston Cup series. Storm approaches McQueen toward the end of the race and tells him “Don’t worry pal, you had a good run,” before roaring into the lead. McQueen pursues, spins out and goes airborne.

What happens at the end will have to wait until the movie hits theaters in June

The governor said OMO will develop with Public Works Department terms of the two ASG gas stations on Ta’u and Ofu islands so that vehicle fuel doesn’t run out, business hours are maintained, funds are col-lected, secured and transmitted to the ASG Treasury Depart-ment. OMO is also responsible for the use of fuel and reporting to DPW.

According to the governor, it shall be necessary for OMO to enter into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with

all government agencies with offices in Manu’a detailing cooperative and supportive terms and conditions par-ticular to the monitoring and follow up of agency projects so as to improve collaboration and avoid any confusion for employees of the respective agencies having office presence in Manu’a.

The MOU will also define the administrative relationship OMO will exercise with the respective agencies with pres-ences on Manu’a.

DETROIT (AP) — Waymo, Google’s self-driving car division, will start testing its new fleet of minivans on public roads in California and Arizona later this month.

The minivans, built in col-laboration with Fiat Chrysler, are Chrysler Pacifica hybrids outfitted with Waymo’s own suite of sensors and radar. Waymo and FCA announced their partnership in May.

In a speech at the Detroit auto show Sunday, CEO John Krafcik revealed that Waymo built the sensors, radar and software for the new minivans itself.

Krafcik said the company felt the system would work better if it was developed specifically for self-driving instead of using off-the-shelf parts.

“A single integrated system means that all the different parts of a self-driving car work together seamlessly,” Krafcik said.

Waymo also was able to significantly lower the cost of the system, Krafcik said. The rooftop lidar — which uses lasers to give the car a three-dimensional picture of the world — cost $75,000 a few years ago. Waymo has brought that cost down by 90 percent and has developed its own short-range and long-range lidar. Waymo’s long-range lidar can see a football helmet two football fields away.

Krafcik didn’t say exactly how Waymo lowered the costs. But the announcement could concern suppliers like Velo-dyne, which makes lidar sys-tems used by Ford Motor Co. and others, and Delphi Corp., which is developing its own autonomous driving system.

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) — After a long stretch in muddy waters, Casey Affleck has reached high ground, thanks to a small movie set in a small seaside town, and an old, more-famous friend.

He has for years been a small player in less-than-award-caliber movies, always a distant second-fiddle to his big brother Ben.

Affleck’s Oscar nomination — for 2007’s “The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford” — has become a distant memory, giving way to a list of credits that Affleck himself called total dog crap in a recent interview with The Associated Press.

But on Sunday, a career moment came with his win as best actor in a motion picture drama for “Manchester by the Sea,” the Kenneth Lonergan-directed film with Affleck as an emotionally scarred New England janitor.

He now is all-but-guaranteed an Academy Award nomination, and could arrive at the Oscars as the favorite.

Affleck’s victory also gives him a moment as the superior Affleck, with Ben plodding through a series of forgettable films.

Casey Affleck owes his once-in-a-decade role to his and his brother’s old friend Matt Damon, who produced “Manchester” and had once been slated to play the part before handing it off.

“I suspect you won’t be passing on any more movies in the future if I happen to be anywhere nearby,” Affleck told Damon during his accep-tance speech.

Affleck’s win meant that no apparent nega-tive consequences came from the reemergence of sexual harassment allegations against him as “Manchester” grew in acclaim. Affleck had been sued for sexual harassment by both a cinematog-rapher and a producer on 2010’s “I’m Still Here,” which he directed.

He settled the cases out of court, and non-disclosure agreements kept him from having to answer questions about the cases in recent interviews.

The issue got increased attention because of the reemergence of an old rape allegation against “Birth of a Nation” director Nate Parker, which seemed to sink his chances for awards. Affleck, remaining mostly unscathed, was criticized as a double standard, and possibly a racial one in con-trast to Parker, who is black.

In his acceptance, Affleck thanked his kids for helping him “keep at bay all of the noise that sometimes surrounds people publicly,” though it wasn’t clear what “noise” he was referring to. The actor did not appear in the Golden Globes press room, and could not be asked about the issue.

CIUDAD VICTORIA, Mexico (AP) — A hit squad made up of two teenage girls, a boy and a woman has been detained for allegedly killing three boys aged 13, 14 and 15 in a poor neighborhood of northern Mexico, authorities said Sunday.

A police official in the northern state of Tamaulipas said the killings in the state cap-ital of Ciudad Victoria appeared related to a dispute over control of street-level drug dealing. The official was not authorized to be quoted by name.

The purported youthful hit squad was said to be travel-ling in a van and shot their victims on the street late Sat-urday. A 17-year-old survived the shooting and was in serious condition at a hospital.

Mexico has seen child killers before, but seldom have teenage girls been involved in such crimes.

In 2010, a 14-year-old boy who was a U.S. citizen con-fessed to killing four people in Mexico. The victims’ beheaded bodies were found hanging from a bridge.

HONG KONG (AP) — Major Asian stock indexes nudged higher Monday while the dollar rebounded as a U.S. job report showed strong wage gains, giving more ammunition to U.S. policymakers planning further rate rises.

KEEPING SCORE: Hong Kong’s benchmark Hang Seng index advanced 0.2 percent to 22,547.82 while the Shanghai Composite in mainland China rose 0.4 percent to 3,167.98. South Korea’s Kospi edged 0.1 percent higher to 2,051.39 while Australia’s S&P/ASX 200 jumped 0.9 percent to 5,807.40. Trading in Japan was closed for a holiday. Bench-marks in Southeast Asia were mostly lower.

US JOBS: Friday’s Labor Department report painted a mixed picture of U.S. employ-ment. It showed that compa-nies added a solid but slightly disappointing 156,000 jobs in December. On the other hand, hourly pay jumped 2.9 percent from the year before, which was the biggest monthly increase in seven years. For 2016 overall, job growth in the world’s big-gest economy remained steady in 2016, although the pace was slower than in 2015.

ANAYST VIEW: “U.S. markets have closed off the first week of the year with a steady set of gains across sectors and the same can be seen in most Asian markets,” said Jingyi Pan, market strategist at IG in Singapore. “With improving indicators in the U.S. and across Asia, we could see a second set of gains this week in this data-filled week.”

WEEK AHEAD: Poten-tial market-moving events this week include the release of China inflation and Japanese consumer confidence figures on Tuesday. On Wednesday, U.S. president-elect Donald Trump has scheduled a long-awaited

news conference on his global business empire, though Asian markets won’t be able to react until the following day. China trade data and U.S. retail sales numbers are due at the end of the week.

CHINA OUTFLOWS: Offi-cial data showed that China’s foreign exchange reserves con-tracted in December for the sixth straight month, falling by $41 billion to just over $3 tril-lion, according to the People’s Bank of China. The central bank said Saturday its effort to stabilize the yuan was a major reason for the drop in forex reserves. The latest figures underline Beijing’s willingness to use its huge stockpile of for-eign currency to stabilize the yuan, which has been declining as residents and companies send more money overseas amid flagging confidence in China’s economy.

WALL STREET: Most major U.S. benchmarks crept higher, finishing the week with a big gain as investors remained optimistic about the U.S. economy. The Dow Jones industrial average flirted with the 20,000-level but finished up 0.3 percent at 19,963.80. The S&P 500 rose 0.4 percent to 2,276.98. The Nasdaq com-posite jumped 0.6 percent to 5,521.06. The small-cap Rus-sell 2000 index slid 0.3 percent to 1,367.28.

CURRENCIES: The dollar rose to 117.46 yen from 116.93 yen in late trading Friday. The euro eased to $1.0527 from $1.0533.

ENERGY: U.S. benchmark crude oil slipped 30 cents to $53.69 a barrel in electronic trading in New York Mercantile Exchange. The contact rose 23 cents to close at $53.99 a barrel on Friday. Brent crude, which is used to price oil sold interna-tionally, lost 26 cents to $56.84 a barrel in London.

ACE HARDWARE IS AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER

When it comes to being helpful, Ace is the place!

Stephanie Brinley, an auto analyst for IHS Markit, said Google won’t control the market for self-driving tech-nology, so other suppliers with go ahead with development of their own systems. But some smaller players in the nascent industry are “going to fall away,” she said.

Waymo has repeatedly said that it doesn’t plan to

build its own cars, but provide self-driving systems to estab-lished carmakers, car-sharing services or others. In addition to FCA, Honda Motor Co. recently announced that it’s in talks with Waymo about using its technology in Honda vehicles.

Krafcik said Waymo, which has been developing self-driving cars for eight years, expects to reach 3 mil-lion miles of test-driving this May.

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) — It may have taken singing and dancing to launch Ryan Gosling into Holly-wood’s acting elite.

Gosling has long been a major star and respected actor, but entry into the upper echelon of award-winners and legends-in-the-making has thus far eluded him.

He’s as well-known and beloved for his appearances viral social media memes like “Hey Girl” and “Ryan Gos-ling Doesn’t Want To Eat His Cereal” than for his movie performances. His award vic-tories have been on the level “Best Kiss” for 2005’s “The Notebook.”

Gosling’s Golden Globe on Sunday night for best actor in a musical or comedy for his turn as a striving jazz pianist in “La La Land” may be the beginning of the end of his status as mere heartthrob and former “Mickey Mouse Club” child star.

It took five nomina-tions for Gosling to win his first Golden Globe, and it’s extremely likely to lead to a trip to the Oscars, where he could be the favorite for best actor.

An Academy Award nom-ination would be his second — Gosling was nominated for “Half Nelson” in 2006. It seemed that nod would lead to a steady stream of such nominations, but instead it led to a drought of more than a decade.

Enter “La La Land,” where Gosling got to tap and croon alongside Emma Stone, using some of those same talents he learned on “The Mickey Mouse Club.” At one point he literally dances his way into the stars at an observatory, an apt metaphor for his current career trajectory.

He was quick to give credit to “La-La Land” writer-director Damien Chazelle and co-star Stone for the boost he got from the film.

“Damien and Emma, this belongs to the three of us,” Gosling said during his accep-tance speech. “I’ll chop it into three pieces if you want.”

No chopping would be necessary — Stone and Cha-

zelle would each win their own Globes later in the night, one of seven “La La Land” won.

Gosling seemed like a shoo-in for the award over fellow nominees Colin Far-rell, Hugh Grant, Jonah Hill and Ryan Reynolds, but Gos-ling left open the possibility that his win was an error.

“This isn’t the first time I’ve been mistaken for Ryan Reynolds,” he said.
