Royals deny Cards off an upset

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. (KEYT) - The underdog had plenty of bite and talent but Bishop Diego could not pull off the upset over large school San Marcos.

For journalists who covered JFK Jr.’s fatal plane crash, the memories are much more vivid than ‘Love Story’

(CNN) — FX’s “Love Story” — the Ryan Murphy-produced show that revisits the lives of John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette Kennedy — concludes this week with the episode that won’t be easy to watch, even if everyone knew it was coming.

The nine-episode series began by teeing up the fate that met the couple, who were killed along with Bessette Kennedy’s sister Lauren in a plane crash in July 1999. The tragedy was a seminal moment for some the same way the death of Princess Diana was just two years earlier for others. Bessette Kennedy’s reaction to the former royal’s death in a paparazzi-caused car crash was even fictionalized in last week’s penultimate episode of the show, which has renewed interest in the fashions of the time and in the couple’s life and death.

Some of the journalists who covered America’s answer to a royal couple don’t need a slick limited series to remember the summer weekend when Kennedy’s plane was reported missing after taking off in New Jersey. What followed was a multi-day stakeout both on the mainland in Hyannis Port, Massachusetts near the famed Kennedy compound, and on Martha’s Vineyard, which had been their destination, as the search for the plane continued.

“Plane crashes are always kind of a hard thing to cover, but in this case, it was just over the top,” Steve Heaslip, who covered the story for the Cape Cod Times, said in a phone conversation with CNN.

The amount of media, police and general onlookers drawn to the scene was unprecedented, Heaslip said, but he also noted that it was “completely expected,” given who was involved.

“Love Story” retraces the history of Kennedy, son of President John F. Kennedy, as he carves a place for himself at the helm of George magazine, at the nexus of celebrity and politics, while also navigating his dating life. Moving on from attention-getting romances with actresses like Daryl Hannah, he eventually meets, and courts, Bessette Kennedy, then a PR assistant at Calvin Klein, in the series. The show depicts the planning and execution of their storied wedding on a remote island off of Georgia in 1996, and spends ample time showing the intense media scrutiny they faced both before, and especially after, their nuptials.

Last week’s episode displayed the cracks in their union as they grapple with their evolution in the public eye, and the series has shown Kennedy going to an airfield to practice flying, a hobby he took up in the years leading up to his death. The pair were on their way to Kennedy’s cousin Rory’s wedding when his plane crashed off of Martha’s Vineyard on the evening of Friday, July 16, 1999, killing all three passengers on board instantly — roughly two months shy of the couple’s third wedding anniversary.

“I just remember the whole thing as being very just — personally but also covering it — it was really sad,” said Heaslip, who had photographed JFK Jr. a number of times prior. The young man once dubbed “America’s most eligible bachelor” would often come to Hyannis to visit his mother, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis.

Like Heaslip, Bernadette Tuazon, currently CNN’s director of photography, spent several days in the area trying to gather information. At the time, she was a photo editor for the Associated Press and had just returned home to New Jersey from another assignment when she got the call saying she needed to get to Martha’s Vineyard.

“At that point, they were assuming that the worst had happened,” Tuazon recalled. “I just

Tras ligero alivio, los principales aeropuertos en EE.UU. se preparan para otra oleada de viajeros este fin de semana

Por Elizabeth Wolfe, CNN

Los aeropuertos de todo EE.UU. se preparan para otra avalancha de viajeros este fin de semana, mientras esperan ansiosamente a ver si el Congreso llega a un acuerdo para poner fin al cierre parcial del Gobierno.

El impasse ha provocado una creciente escasez de agentes de la Administración de Seguridad del Transporte, la TSA, y ha dado como resultado los tiempos de espera en los controles de seguridad más largos que la agencia haya visto jamás.

No se ha producido ningún avance significativo en un acuerdo para financiar el Departamento de Seguridad Nacional, que incluye la TSA, y los legisladores tienen previsto irse de receso durante dos semanas el viernes.

Sin una solución de financiación, los aeropuertos, saturados, llegarán al fin de semana —normalmente uno de los días de mayor afluencia de viajeros— con las vacaciones de primavera en pleno apogeo y con una capacidad de control de seguridad muy reducida.

Los empleados de la TSA han estado renunciando o faltando al trabajo en masa tras seis semanas sin cobrar.

Además, no está claro si los agentes del Servicio de Inmigración y Control de Aduanas desplegados en los aeropuertos esta semana para ayudar a gestionar el caos han tenido un impacto significativo.

Aunque a principios de esta semana los líderes republicanos del Senado creían haber encontrado un punto intermedio que permitiría la reapertura del DHS para el fin de semana, el plan parece haberse estancado.

Se está impulsando una nueva negociación, pero los funcionarios de los aeropuertos han advertido de graves consecuencias si la crisis continúa.

“Nos preocupa que las condiciones en los aeropuertos de todo Estados Unidos empeoren hasta que el Congreso ponga fin a este cierre”, declaró Jim Szczesniak, director de aviación del Sistema Aeroportuario de Houston, en un comunicado grabado el miércoles.

El aeropuerto intercontinental George Bush de Houston ha sufrido algunos de los impactos más graves, junto con los centros de transporte de Nueva York y Atlanta.

En un intento desesperado por solucionar la frustración de los viajeros, los aeropuertos han reasignado empleados de otros departamentos, han alertado a los viajeros para que lleguen horas antes de lo previsto y han contratado personal de seguridad externo.

Así es como los aeropuertos y las autoridades están intentando solucionar las interrupciones en los viajes.

A mitad de semana, normalmente la época de menor afluencia de pasajeros en los vuelos, se produjo un pequeño respiro. Para el miércoles, los tiempos de espera en los controles de seguridad habían vuelto a la normalidad en varios aeropuertos, con algunas excepciones.

El aeropuerto intercontinental George Bush reportó una espera de dos horas el miércoles por la tarde, en comparación con las más de cuatro horas registradas a principios de semana.

Szczesniak indicó que, debido a la escasez de personal, el aeropuerto solo puede operar aproximadamente la mitad de sus 37 puntos de control de la TSA.

“Eso significa que el 100% de los pasajeros que pasan por el aeropuerto durante las vacaciones de primavera son procesados ​​por menos del 50 % de nuestros controles de seguridad de la TSA”, indicó. “Eso no es sostenible”.

Según el Departamento de Seguridad Nacional (DHS), casi el 40 % de los agentes de la TSA del aeropuerto de Houston no se presentaron a trabajar el martes.

Esta terminal se ha visto obligada a reasignar empleados de otros departamentos para gestionar las multitudes.

“Hemos reasignado a cientos de empleados de toda nuestra organización, desde finanzas hasta informática, mantenimiento y más, para ayudar a gestionar las filas y asistir a los viajeros

LMU celebrates 8-7 walk-off win

LOS ANGELES, Calif. (KEYT) - The Mustangs took a 3-run lead into the bottom of the eighth inning at Loyola Marymount but left LA with an 8-7 loss.

Former Santa Barbara City College player DJ Ghiorso won it for the Lions with a walk-off hit off the wall in left field to score Jaxson Wall in the bottom of the ninth inning as they celebrated an end of a 7-game losing streak.

It was a wild eighth inning that saw Cal Poly scored four times to lead 7-4. Dante Vachini singled in two runs in that frame. He had 3 hits and 3 RBI for the Mustangs who drop to 14-9 on the season.

But LMU answered back with a 3-run 8th inning setting the stage for Ghiorso.

Cal Poly left 11 runners on base.
