House Republicans, including Speaker of the House Paul Ryan and Rep. Carlos Curbelo, celebrate at a news conference announcing the
passage of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.
House passes tax bill
Highlights of House, Senate GOP bills
Personal income tax rates: House bill condenses
current seven brackets to four: 12, 25, 35 and 39.6
percent. Senate measure retains seven brackets
but changes them to 10, 12, 22, 24, 32, 35 and 38.5
percent. Under current law, top bracket is 39.6
percent.
Standard deduction: Used by about 70 percent
of U.S. taxpayers, currently $6,350 for individuals
and $12,700 for married couples. House, Senate
bills both double those levels to $12,000 for
individuals and $24,000 for couples.
Tax credits: House raises per-child tax credit from
$1,000 to $1,600, extends it to families earning up
to $230,000. Creates a $300 tax credit for each
adult in a family, which expires in 2023. Senate
doubles per-child credit to $2,000. Both bills
Tunitas Creek steers toward restoration
POST, San Mateo County acquire beachfront property

DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
In a rare opportunity to expand San
Mateo Countys park system, 58 acres of
the remote and environmentally sensitive
Tunitas Creek Beach have been purchased
for the benefit of the public.
Reports of elaborate raves, a reported
drowning, illegal campers and immense
amounts of trash being left at the vast
coastal property prompted county officials
and environmental advocates to get

ations, the Peninsula Open Space Trust

measure initially eliminated.
Home mortgage interest deduction: House limits
the deduction to interest paid on the first
$500,000 of the loan, for new home purchases.
Senate retains the current $1 million ceiling.
Other deductions: House eliminates medical
expense deductions. Senate preserves it.
State and local taxes: House ends deductions for
state and local income and sales taxes, allows it
for up to $10,000 in property taxes. Senate
eliminates entire deduction.
Alternative minimum tax: House, Senate both
repeal the tax aimed at ensuring that higher-
earning people pay at least some tax.

Holiday shopping out of the box

Redwood City art show offers close-up view of local art
By Anna Schuessler
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Those wishing to think outside the box
for this years holiday gifts need look no
farther than the wide array of locally-made
art pieces to be featured in the second
annual ART on the Square Holiday Show in
the San Mateo County History Museum
this Saturday.
With more than 25 Bay Area artists
gathered under the museums stained glass
dome, the event is expected to provide a
smaller-scale, more relaxed alternative to
crowded malls and craft fairs with rows
upon rows of artist booths, said event
coordinator and Redwood City artist Beth
Mostovoy.
I think it just slows you down, she
said, of the feeling one might get walking
into the museum. You can chat with the
artists, ask them how they make things
no ones rushing you through.
Mostovoy and the community of artists
gathered in Redwood City are taking the
last of this years ART in the Square events
indoors. She said several artists will be
showing their work on tables in the muse-
ums circular entrance room, with others
lining nearby hallways and a jewelers
row on the second floor set to offer a
variety of jewelry styles at a range of
prices. She is hoping a guitarist playing
morning and afternoon sets and a theater
program offered from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. will
put even more of the local arts scene on
display in the unique historical venue.
Giving artists the opportunity to share
the stories behind the illustrations, tex-
tiles, scarves, home goods and mixed
media and woodwork pieces, among other
pieces theyve been working on, helps
Artists gather under the dome of the San Mateo County History Museum in Redwood City
to share their work in last years ART on the Square Holiday Show.
ensure shoppers will find gifts that cant
be found anywhere else, said Mostovoy.
I think theres a really nice range of
opportunity for people to get their shop-
ping done and to buy something really
unique, she said.
San Jose residents Mini Bansam and
Jannat Saxena know the value of a unique,
hand-made gift from experience. The
mother-daughter duo will be showing the
wood and cork purses and accessories they
have been creating in the last three
months since Saxena began making one
as a Christmas gift for her mother. Having
recently graduated with a
degree in design from San
Jose State University,
Saxena wanted to create a
unique gift for her mother
BETH MOSTOVOY
that couldnt be found in a store.
When the walnut and birch clutch purse
began catching the eyes of their family
and friends, the two started their new San
Jose-based company, Sumsaara, and mak-
ing them in earnest at a nearby TechShop.
Bansam said one of the best parts of
attending shows like Saturdays is being
able to interact with shoppers and fellow
artists, many of whom want to learn more
about their use of a laser cutter among
other tools to create their products.
We are seeing so much appreciation of
these hand-made products, she said.
People want to do things with their hands
and use their creativity.
Of the five shows they have attended so
far, Bansam said they have attended three
in Redwood City, where the two have
found a vibrant community of artists.
Saxena said shes also been encouraged by
the maker movement continuing to gain
momentum in Silicon Valley, noting mem-
bers of these groups often cross paths at
shows and workshop spaces.
The shows are a great way to support
that movement and give a platform for
small businesses like us, she said.
For Mostovoy, who is showcasing a
subset of her photography collection at
Saturdays show, the event also serves as
an entry point for residents hoping to
explore the arts and culture scene in their
own backyard. She said those whose inter-
est is piqued by Saturdays event can see
more of an artists collection or meet
other artists at the Artists Holiday Open
Studios held at several locations in
Redwood City and San Carlos next month.
Mostovoy is pleased to be able to open
the shows doors at the iconic museum in
the heart of Redwood City for the second
year now and said that with those attend-
ing the event sure to visit other downtown
destinations, the event further integrates
art in the citys fabric.
Its just a win-win, she said. Art does-
nt necessarily get all the credit for what it
brings to the community. I think a lot
more people really get it and support it.
The ART on the Square Holiday Show
will be held 10:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday,
Nov. 18, at the San Mateo County History
Museum, 2200 Broadway. Admission is
free. Visit history smc. org/holiday -show

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Michelle McFadyen was driving to the
store with her husband when the couple
strayed into the path of a shooting ram-
page in their small Northern California
town of Rancho Tehama.
The gunman, identified by authorities as
Kevin Neal, killed Michelle McFadyen
and wounded her husband, Troy, people he
randomly picked to shoot after killing his
wife and two neighbors. He killed another
man at random and wounded at least eight
others, including a 6-year-old child shot
in the chest at the towns school.
Neal swerved his vehicle to try and ram
the McFadyens car head-on, Troys
nephew, Eric McFadyen said Thursday.
After running them off the road, Neal
parked his vehicle, walked toward them
and fired into their car, he said.
They started running for their lives and
thats when he killed
Michelle, and shot my
uncle in the legs, Eric
McFadyen said.
Neal walked up to his

but his uncle pleaded

to save his bullets
because he would bleed
Kevin Neal
to death. Michelle
McFadyen was already
dead, he said.
For whatever reason the guy turned
around and thats when they think he went
to the school and started shooting at
kids, Eric McFadyen said.
Shortly after, Erics father got a call
from Troy.
He just kept saying, They shot

feet, they shot me. I need you here broth-
er, I need you here, Eric McFadyen said. declining to comment further.
homeless Mexican citizen, was arrested
around an hour after the July 1, 2015,
shooting, which occurred while Steinle was
walking on the pier with her family. The
murder weapon, a gun that had been stolen
from a U.S. Bureau of Land Management
rangers car just days earlier, was recovered
from the Bay near the pier a short time later.
Prosecutors charged him with second-
degree murder, which applies to murder that
is deliberate but not premeditated or that
was caused by committing an inherently
dangerous act.
Prosecutor Diana Garcia has sought to
prove during the trial that Garcia Zarate,
who had no connection to Steinle or known
motive for shooting her, pointed the gun at
her and pulled the trigger deliberately.
However, Judge James Feng on
Wednesday agreed to a request by Garcia to
instruct the jury in first-degree murder as
well as second-degree murder and involun-
tary manslaughter.
The jury will be instructed on multiple
theories of homicide, District Attorneys
Office spokesman Alex Bastian said,
First-degree murder typically requires that
the murder be willful and premeditated, but
can also apply to cases of felony murder,
in which a defendant is involved in a dan-
gerous crime that leads to a persons death.
It is unclear which theory Garcia might ask
jurors to consider in closing arguments on
Monday.
Defense attorneys Matt Gonzalez and
Garcia Zarate presented expert wit-
nesses who testified that the shooting bore
the hallmarks of an unintentional discharge
and that the bullet did not travel in a
straight line.
It is unclear whether the inclusion of
first-degree murder in jury instructions will
have an impact on the outcome of the case.
We are not terribly concerned about it
because nothing in the evidence supports
first-degree murder, said Tamara Aparton, a
spokeswoman for the public defenders
office.
Garcia Zarate has also been charged with
assault with a semi-automatic firearm and
being a felon in possession of a firearm. He
has prior convictions for a drug charge and
for reentering the country after deportation.
Garcia Zarates arrest triggered national
controversy over San Franciscos
Sanctuary City policies after it was learned
that he had been released from the citys jail
a few months before the shooting without
notification to federal immigration author-
ities.
He had just completed a federal prison
sentence for reentering the country after
deportation when he was transferred to San
Francisco by federal authorities based on a
warrant for a marijuana charge, but that
charge was dismissed by San Francisco
prosecutors after he arrived.
Despite the controversy, which played a
role in the 2016 presidential race when
now-President Donald Trump took it up as
an issue, Garcia Zarates immigration status
has not played a role in the case.

Sen. Al Franken faces ethics probe
after woman says that he groped her
By Matthew Daly and Juliet Linderan
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON Minnesota Sen. Al
Franken faces a storm of criticism and a
likely ethics investigation after a Los
Angeles radio anchor accused him Thursday
of forcibly kissing her and groping her dur-
ing a 2006 USO tour. He is the first member
of Congress caught up in the recent wave of
allegations of sexual abuse and inappropri-
ate behavior.
Franken apologized, but the criticism
only grew through the day. Fellow
Democrats swiftly condemned his actions,
mindful of the current climate as well as the
prospect of political blowback.
Republicans, still forced to answer for the
multiple allegations facing Alabama Senate
candidate Roy Moore, joined in pressing
for an investigation. Franken said he would
welcome it.
Leeann Tweeden posted her allegations,
including a photo of Franken and her, on
the website of KABC, where she works as a
news anchor for a morning radio show. The
photo shows Franken posing in a joking
manner, smiling at the camera with his
hands on her chest as she naps wearing a
flak vest aboard a military plane. Both had
been performing for military personnel in
Afghanistan two years before the one-time

accepted his apology.

ment, sexual misconduct and gender hostil-
ity from staffers, aides and even female

State regulators released long-awaited rules Thursday that will govern the states emerging pot economy, from fields to sales.
California pot rules open way
for potentially larger fields
By Michael R. Blood
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES California
released long-awaited rules Thursday
that will govern the states emerging
legal marijuana industry, while poten-
tially opening the way for larger-scale
cultivation that some fear could stran-
gle small-farm growers.
The thicket of emergency regula-
tions will allow the state to begin issu-
ing temporary licenses for growers,
distributors and sellers on Jan. 1,
when recreational sales become legal.
They provide a regulatory roadmap
for business operations, from licens-
ing fees to establishing guidelines for
testing, growing and distribution of
marijuana in what is projected to be a
$7 billion economy, the nations
largest.
As for infused munchies, edible
products cannot be shaped like a
human, animal, insect, or fruit,
according to a summary of the rules.
And if you are thinking about alter-
native transportation for that pot,
dont: Its prohibited to use aircraft,
watercraft, drone, rail, human-powered
vehicle and unmanned vehicle.
The regulations have been in devel-
opment for months and in some cases
covered familiar ground: At first, the
state will issue only temporary licens-
es to growers and retailers, provided
they have a local permit to open for
business.
Other changes appeared significant.
The state has been trying to deter-
mine what should be the appropriate
size limit on cannabis farms, a debate
that has echoed fights over corporate-
scale farming in the Midwest.
At one time 4 acres (1.6-hectare) was
under consideration, but preliminary
information from the state earlier this
week indicated a maximum 1-acre (0.4-
hectare) cap would be set on most cul-
tivators.
STATE
REUTERS FILE PHOTO
But the regulations issued Thursday
did not include that language, instead
placing limits on only certain medi-
um-sized growers licenses. Beyond
those there is no limitation for the
other categories of licenses, Steve
Lyle of the state Department of Food
and Agriculture said in an email.
Hezekiah Allen, executive director
of the California Growers Association,
an industry group, said the rules
appeared to allow large businesses to
obtain as many licenses as they could
afford, opening the way for vast
cannabis grows that could threaten the
viability of small farms, long the
backbone of the state industry.
California could have just opened
the door for well-capitalized interests
... to really jeopardize the success of
the marketplace, he said.
With the state already saturated with
marijuana, it could make an oversup-
ply problem into an oversupply cri-
sis, he added.

University of California
regents chastise system president
SAN FRANCISCO The University of Californias gov-
erning board chastised UC President Janet Napolitano in a
rare public rebuke Thursday and asked her
to apologize for her offices interference
in a state audit last year.
Napolitano issued a prompt apology,
which did little to quiet criticism that has
erupted over her offices meddling in
what was supposed to be a confidential
state auditors survey of UC campuses.
I exhibited poor judgment, said
Napolitano, who has previously apolo-
Janet gized and vowed to prevent any future
Napolitano interference in the work of the state audi-
tor. As I have said previously, I deeply regret this mistake
and sincerely apologize.
The regents admonishment came after the board met for a
five-hour, closed-door session to discuss an independent
fact-finding report conducted by former state Supreme Court
justice Carlos Moreno and a Southern California law firm,
Hueston Hennigan.
The investigation found that Napolitanos top aides had
sought to suppress campus criticism of her office in surveys
that were supposed to be confidential and sent directly to
the state auditor.

enter a bid for running the Los Alamos National Laboratory.
The birthplace of the atomic bomb and still one of the

Fed extreme vetting plan
castigated by tech experts
By Matt OBrien
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Leading researchers castigated a federal
plan that would use artificial intelligence
methods to scrutinize immigrants and visa
applicants, saying it is unworkable as writ-
ten and likely to be inaccurate and biased
if deployed.
The experts, a group of more than 50
computer and data scientists, mathemati-
cians and other specialists in automated
decision-making, urged the Department of
Homeland Security to abandon the project,
dubbed the Extreme Vetting Initiative.
That plan has its roots in President
Donald Trumps repeated pledge during the
2016 campaign to subject immigrants
seeking admission to the United States to
more intense ideological scrutiny or, as
he put it, extreme vetting.
Over the summer, DHS published a state-
ment of objectives for a system that would
use computer algorithms to scan social
media and other material in order to auto-
matically flag undesirable entrants and
to continuously scan the activities of those
allowed into the U.S.

Strong earnings from Wal-Mart, Cisco drive stocks up
By Alex Veiga

U.S. stocks closed sharply high-

Investors cheered strong quarter-
ly earnings from Wal-Mart Stores,
Cisco Systems and other compa-
nies. Technology stocks account-
ed for much of the markets gains,
which helped lift the Nasdaq com-

Phone companies get new tools to block spam calls

By Tali Arbel
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK Phone compa-
nies will have greater authority to
block unwanted calls from reach-
ing customers as regulators adopt-
ed new rules to combat automated
messages known as robocalls.
Rules adopted Thursday by the
Federal Communications
Commission represent the latest
tools against robocalls, which
pester consumers, sometimes mul-
tiple times each day, and often
push scams. The agency, which
regulates the countrys phone,
broadcast TV and internet services,
also hopes that recent big fines
will help deter scammers.
Phone companies can already
block some calls that trick con-
sumers by showing up on Caller ID
with fake numbers. The new rules
make clear that they can block
additional calls that are likely
scams, such as numbers that start
with a 911 area code, or one that
isnt currently assigned to anyone.
The changes wont stop robo-
calls completely, though experts
say these steps are a good start.
The federal and state Do Not
Call lists are supposed to protect
people from unwanted calls from
telemarketers. But scammers dont
care about breaking the law.
Scammers reach people cheaply
and easily using autodialers, which
spew out a large number of calls
automatically. Its estimated that
Americans receive tens of millions
of robocalls every day. Not all of
them are fraudsters, of course.
Pharmacies send automated mes-
sages about prescriptions being
filled. But too often, its this: you
owe the IRS money; its Microsoft
calling to fix your computer; free
cruises!
Spam callers have tricky tech-
nology that alters what pops up on
a phones caller ID to a local num-
ber, or one from an official organi-
zation, so youre more likely to
pick up.
The steps the FCC took
Thursday lets carriers crack down
on these spoofed numbers. If suc-
cessful, that would make running a
scam more difficult and save U.S.
consumers millions of dollars, a
group of state attorneys general
said in an FCC filing.
Experts have said these are solid
developments, but wont protect
consumers from all unwanted calls.
Not every one of those is from a
spoofed number. Debt collectors
and political campaigns are not
covered under the Do Not Call
lists.
In the longer term, the FCC sup-
ports industry efforts to verify that
callers are really who they say
they are. Perhaps one day, youll
see a green checkmark on your
smartphone when the caller is
legitimate. U.S. Telecom, the
phone-company lobby, has said
that rolling this out could take a
few years, but would prove power-
ful against robocallers.
The FCC has also sought ways to
stop annoying calls from dogging
consumers when they change num-
bers. Today, if you sign up for Do
Not Call but then get a new num-
ber, a marketer may not know and
could pester you on your new line.

Gaps quarterly profit grows Business brief

12 percent as sales improve
SAN FRANCISCO Gap Inc.s third-
quarter profit rose 12 percent as it expands
its Old Navy and Athleta brands and works
to cut costs throughout the company.
The San Francisco-based retailer said
Thursday that it earned $229 million, or 58
cents per share, during the quarter. Thats up
from $204 million, or 51 cents per share, a
year ago.
The results exceeded Wall Street expecta-
tions, and Gap shares gained more than 6
percent in after-hours trading Thursday. The
14 analysts surveyed by Zacks Investment
Research had expected earnings of 55 cents
per share on average.
Gap CEO Art Peck said the results show
the company is making progress at dri-
ving efficiency at our more mature brands,
while growing our footprint in the value
and active space, and investing in our
online and mobile experience.
The companys Old Navy brand has fared
the best recently as the Gap adjusts to
changing customer habits with more online
shopping and less time spent at malls, but
this quarters report also showed some
improvement for the Gap and Banana
Republic brands.
Overall, the companys comparable sales
grew 3 percent in the quarter, compared to a
1 percent decline last year. Those figures
exclude the negative effect of a fire a Gap

Tesla wants to electrify big
trucks, adding to ambitions
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DETROIT After more than a decade of
making cars and SUVs and, more recently,
solar panels Tesla Inc. wants to electrify a
new type of vehicle: big trucks.
The company was set to unveil its new elec-
tric semitractor-trailer Thursday night near its
design center in Hawthorne, California.
The move fits with Tesla CEO Elon Musks
stated goal for the company of accelerating
the shift to sustainable transportation.
Trucks account for nearly a quarter of trans-
portation-related greenhouse gas emissions
in the U.S., according to government statis-
tics. Tesla also could equip its trucks with the
semi-autonomous driving features found in
its cars, like automatic braking and lane
changing.
But the semi also piles on the chaos at Palo
Alto-based company. Its way behind on pro-
duction of the Model 3, a new lower-cost
sedan. Its also ramping up production of
solar panels after buying Solar City Corp.
last year. Musk has said Tesla is also working
on a pickup truck and a lower-cost SUV and
negotiating a new factory in China.
Meanwhile, the company posted a record
quarterly loss of $619 million in its most
recent quarter. Musk, too, is being pulled in
many different directions. He leads rocket
maker SpaceX and is dabbling in other proj-
ects, including high-speed transit, artificial
intelligence research and a new company

Regional summit expected to formalize
terms of Mugabes exit from power
By Farai Mutsaka

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
HARARE, Zimbabwe In the
first round of negotiations over
how President Robert Mugabe
will leave power, the Zimbabwean
leader met Thursday with the army
commander who put him under
house arrest and mediators,
including South African Cabinet
ministers and a Catholic priest.
Meanwhile, an emergency sum-
mit of heads of state of regional
countries was called by the 16-
nation Southern African
Development Community and is
expected to formalize the terms of
Mugabes exit.
The summit puts regional lead-

fired his longtime deputy last
week.
This is political theatre.
Chiwenga and the army want to
give Mugabe a soft landing, a dig-
nified exit, said Piers Pigou,
southern Africa expert for the
International Crisis Group.
They are working on the chore-
ography of how this will be done.
By calling a full summit, (the
regional leaders) are showing
respect for Mugabe, the last of the
liberation war heroes, Pigou
said. Mugabe wants the full fan-
fare as he exits stage left. The
regional leaders will be showing
deference to Mugabe, even though
they cant wait to see the back of
him.

Trump may witness U.S. goal in Mugabes ouster
By Matthew Lee
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON Without lift-
ing a finger, the Trump adminis-
tration may be witnessing the
culmination of nearly two
decades of U.S. efforts to pry
Zimbabwe from the powerful
grasp of its authoritarian
President Robert Mugabe. Yet
with Mugabes fate and
Zimbabwes political future in
limbo, neither Trump nor previ-
ous administrations can claim
credit or celebrate.
The past three American leaders
have actively and outspokenly
sought to isolate Mugabe and his
ruling clique for human rights
abuses, hoping to encourage a
democratic transition. Since
January, however, its been virtu-
al crickets. Now the 93-year-old
is under house arrest with his rule
nearing an end, a victim not of
U.S. and Western pressure but of
domestic infighting.
After staying silent through
the first day of Zimbabwes pos-
sible coup with the exception of
and civil society groups urged
Mugabe to step aside after 37
years in power and for the country
to have a transition period lead-
ing to free and fair elections.

custody, reportedly with his wife,

Trumps State Department
weighed in Wednesday by voic-
ing concern about the militarys
actions.
The department urged
Zimbabwes leaders to exercise
restraint, respect the rule of law
and uphold the constitutionally-
protected rights of all citizens.
It encouraged leaders to quickly
resolve differences to allow for a
rapid return to normalcy. The
U. S. does not take sides in
Zimbabwes internal politics, it
said, while stressing that it also
does not condone military inter-
vention in political processes.
Mugabe on Thursday was meet-
ing a South African delegation at
the state house as negotiations
continued for a resolution to the
political turmoil. South Africa
President Jacob Zuma, speaking
in parliament, said the political
situation very shortly will be
becoming clear.
If that indeed translates into
Mugabes ouster, its a result the
United States has long hoped for.
Washington started acting
against Zimbabwe toward the end

There has been no sign of for-

week angered supporters in the
military amid concern that Grace
Mugabe would replace him at a
party meeting next month.

administration in 2000, con-
demning Mugabes moves to
consolidate power by suppress-
ing dissident voices, often vio-
lently, and implementing contro-
versial seizures of white-owned
land. The U. S. then began
restricting aid, international
loans and weapons sales, eventu-
ally cutting off virtually all non-
humanitarian assistance to the
country.
In 2003, then-President George
W. Bush declared a national state
of emergency with respect to
Zimbabwe and signed the first of
three executive orders he would
issue while in office, authorizing
sanctions against senior
Zimbabwean officials deemed to
be undermining democracy.
Following national elections in
2008 that Bush called a sham,
the U.S. took a lead in encourag-
ing a power-sharing arrangement
between Mugabe and Zimbabwes
main opposition leader. When
that failed, former Secretary of
State Condoleezza Rice said it
was well past time for Mugabe
to leave power.
Mnangagwa, who fled Zimbabwe
saying he had received threats, is
widely tipped to be brought back
to lead Zimbabwes transition.
A joint statement by more than
100 Zimbabwean civil society
groups urged Mugabe to peaceful-
ly step aside and asked the mili-

tary to respect the constitution. A
joint statement by churches also
appealed for calm.
Knox Chitiyo, an analyst with
the Chatham House think tank,
said he believed the negotiations
have pretty much reached an end
point to get Mugabe to step
aside and that it was a matter of
hours or days.
He said the aim was a peaceful,
managed transition and a digni-
fied exit for Mugabe, who has
ruled since independence from
white minority rule in 1980 and
remains widely known, even
praised, in Africa as a liberation
leader.
Chitiyo said he doesnt know
where the ailing Mugabe would go
but that the destination is likely
driven by his health. Mugabe
frequently seeks medical treat-
ment in Singapore.
Meanwile, opposition leaders
added their voices to those calling
for Mugabe to step down.
Morgan Tsvangirai, who shared
power with Mugabe between 2009
and 2013, said Mugabe must
resign, adding that his party
would participate in talks on a
transitional mechanism if
approached.
He pointedly referred to
Mugabe as Mister not presi-
dent.
A former vice president who was
fired in 2014, Joice Mujuru, called
for free, fair and credible elec-
tions following a transition
arrangement that draws from a
range of communities.
And the Rev. Evan Mawarire,
the Zimbabwean pastor whose
(hash)ThisFlag social media cam-
paign last year led to the largest
anti-government protests in a
decade, said of the unfolding
events: Should we just sit and
wait or shall we at least be part of
this transition process?
Zimbabwean newspaper pub-
lisher Trevor Ncube summed up
the dilemma facing the nation
over Mugabes exit, saying in a
Twitter post: How do you ask
your Head of State and
Commander-in-Chief that you rec-
ognize and salute to step down?
You find answer to this puzzle
then you are good to go.
Across the country,
Zimbabweans long frustrated by
crackdowns on dissent and a col-
lapsing economy were enjoying
freedoms they hadnt had in years.

BILL
Continued from page 1
The mostly party-line 227-205 vote
masked more ominous problems in the
Senate. There, a similar package received a
politically awkward verdict from nonparti-
san congressional analysts showing it
would eventually produce higher taxes for
low- and middle-income earners but deliver
deep reductions for those better off.
The Senate bill was approved late
Thursday by the Finance Committee and
sent to the full Senate on a party-line 14-12
vote. Like the House measure, it would slash
the corporate tax rate and reduce personal
income tax rates for many.
But it adds a key feature not in the House
version: repeal of the Affordable Care Acts
requirement that everyone in the U.S. have
health insurance. Elimination of the so-
called individual mandate would add an esti-
mated $338 billion in revenue over 10 years
that the Senate tax-writers used for other tax
cuts.
The Senate panels vote came at the end of
four days of often fierce partisan debate. It
turned angrily personal for Chairman Sen.
Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, as he railed against
Democrats accusations that the legislation
was crafted to favor big corporations and
the wealthy.
I come from the poor people. And Ive
been working my whole stinking career for
people who dont have a chance, Hatch
insisted.
After the panels approval, Senate
Majority Leader Mitch McConnell declared,
For the millions of hard-working
Americans who need more money in their
pockets and the chance of a better future,
help is on the way.

the Senate bill came a day after Wisconsin
Sen. Ron Johnson became the first GOP
senator to state opposition to the measure,
saying it didnt cut levies enough for mil-
lions of partnerships and corporations.
With at least five other Republican senators
yet to declare support, the bills fate is far
from certain in a chamber the GOP controls
by just 52-48.
Even so, Republicans are hoping to send
a compromise bill for Trump to sign by
Christmas.
Now the ball is in the Senates court,
Vice President Mike Pence urged after the
House vote.
Speaking at a conservative Tax
Foundation dinner in Washington, Pence
said, The next few weeks are going to be
vitally important and theyre going to be a
challenge. But he added, were going to
get it done before the end of the year.
An earlier White House statement that
now is the time to deliver also under-
scored the Republican Partys effort to
maintain momentum and outrace critics.
Those include the AARP lobby for older
people, major medical organizations,
Realtors and, in all likelihood, every
Senate Democrat.
With this summers crash of the GOP
effort to dismantle President Barack
Obamas health care law, Republicans see a
successful tax effort as the best way to avert
major losses in next years congressional
elections. House Republicans conceded
they are watching the Senate warily.
Political survival depends on us doing
this, said Rep. Kevin Cramer, R-N.D. One
of the things that scares me a little bit is
that theyre going to screw up the bill to the
point we cant pass it.
The House plan and the Senate Finance
bill would deliver the bulk of their tax reduc-
tions to businesses.
Each would cut the 35 percent corporate
tax rate to 20 percent, while reducing per-
limits and then repeals the entire tax after
2023. Senate doubles the limits but does
not repeal the tax.
Individual insurance mandate: Senate
bill repeals the requirement in President
Barack Obamas health care law that people
pay a tax penalty if they dont purchase
health insurance. House bill does not.
Corporate taxes: House, Senate both
cut current 35 percent rate to 20 percent,
but Senate has one-year delay in drop-
sonal rates for many taxpayers and erasing
or shrinking deductions. Projected federal
deficits would grow by $1.5 trillion over 10
years.
As decades of Republicans have done
before them, GOP lawmakers touted their
tax cuts as a boon to families across all
income lines and a boost for businesses,
jobs and the entire country.
Passing this bill is the single biggest
thing we can do to grow the economy, to
restore opportunity and help those middle
income families who are struggling, said
House Speaker Paul Ryan of Wisconsin.
Democrats said the measure would dispro-
portionately help the wealthy and mean tax
increases for millions. Among other
things, the House legislation would reduce
and ultimately repeal the tax Americans pay
on the largest inheritances, while the
Senate would limit that levy to fewer
estates.
The bill is pillaging the middle class to
pad the pockets of the wealthiest and hand
tax breaks to corporations shipping jobs
out of America, declared House Minority
Leader Nancy Pelosi of California.
Thirteen House Republicans all but one
from high-tax California, New York and
New Jersey voted no because the plan
would erase tax deductions for state and
local income and sales taxes and limit prop-
erty tax deductions to $10,000. Defectors
included House Appropriations Committee
Chairman Rodney Frelinghuysen, R-N.J.,
who said the measure would hurt New
Jersey families.
Trump traveled to the Capitol before the
vote to give House Republicans a pep talk.
Besides Johnson, Republican Sens.
Susan Collins of Maine, Jeff Flake and John
McCain of Arizona, Bob Corker of
Tennessee and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska

Pass-through businesses: Millions of
U. S. businesses pass through their
income to individuals, who then pay per-
sonal income tax on those earnings, not
corporate tax. House bill taxes many of
them at 25 percent, plus creates a 9 percent
rate for the first $75,000 in earnings for
some smaller pass-throughs. Senate bill
lets people deduct some of the earnings and
then pay at their personal income tax rate
THE DAILY JOURNAL
estimated that the Senate plan would mean
higher taxes beginning in 2021 for many
families earning under $30,000 annually.
By 2027, families making less than
$75,000 would face tax boosts while those
making more would enjoy cuts.
Republicans attributed the new figures to
two provisions.
One would end the measures personal tax
cuts starting in 2026. The other would abol-
ish the Obamacare requirement that peo-
ple buy health coverage or pay tax penal-
ties.
Eliminating those fines is expected to
mean fewer people would obtain federally
subsidized policies, and the tax analysts
count a reduction in those subsidies as a tax
increase. The nonpartisan Congressional
Budget Office has projected that would result
in 13 million more uninsured people by
2027, making the provision a political risk
for some lawmakers.
Ending the personal tax cuts for individu-
als in 2026, derided as a gimmick by
Democrats, is designed to pare the bills
long-term costs to the Treasury. Legislation
cannot boost budget deficits after 10 years
if it is to qualify for Senate procedures that

Both chambers bills would nearly double
the standard deduction to around $12,000
for individuals and about $24,000 for mar-
ried couples and dramatically boost the cur-
rent $1,000 per-child tax credit.
But each plan also would erase the current
$4,050 personal exemption and annul or
reduce other tax breaks. The House would
limit interest deductions to future home
mortgages of up to $500,000, down from
todays $1 million, while the Senate would
end deductions like moving expenses and
tax preparation.

Panthers will have to get offense in gear against top-seeded Half Moon Bay
By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Its been a rough couple of weeks for the
Burlingame football team. While the
Panthers nished 1-1 over their last two
games, they have struggled mightily on
offense, scoring a combined 34 points.
And things dont get any easier in the rst
round of the Central Coast Section Open
Division III playoff bracket where eighth-
seeded Burlingame (6-4) takes on top-seed-
ed undefeated Half Moon Bay (10-0) at 7
p.m. Friday on the coast.
We clearly have to start playing at a
more consistent level (offensively), said
Burlingame coach John Philipopoulos.
There are probably a lot of reasons for
that, but its Week 11 and theres no time to
dwell on what happened last week.
The perplexing part of it all is the fact
that the offensive woes are a relatively new
development. The Panthers averaged 38
points a game during the non-league por-
tion of their schedule, so they are not unfa-
miliar with putting up points. But injuries
have taken a toll on that and has forced
Philipopoulos to juggle players to ll
holes.
Weve had some great offensive outputs.
Weve done some good things on the offen-
sive side, Philipopoulos said. These last
few weeks, weve run into some big, physi-
cal teams who are very good.
Like everyone else, weve had injuries.
Weve had to do a lot of shufing of the deck
on the offense side of the ball.
The good news for the Panthers is the fact
the struggles are only on one side of the
ball. The Burlingame defense has been con-
sistently good all season, allowing an aver-
age of 15 points per game this season. They
allowed a total of 27 in their last two games.
Defensively, weve been outstanding,
Philipopoulos said.
The bad news is, the most points the
Panthers surrendered came in their 39-15
loss to the Cougars in Week 6.
And HMB hasnt really slowed down since
that win. The Cougars averaged 35 points

Celtics come from 17 TE Cook opening up
down to beat Warriors Raiders passing game
By Kyle Hightower
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BOSTON Hours before the Celtics took
the court Thursday night to protect their win-
ning streak against the defending NBA cham-
pion Golden State Warriors, Jaylen Brown was
walking around in a fog.
Bostons second-year forward was not even
thinking about basketball after learning about
the sudden death of his childhood best friend,
Trevin Steede, on Wednesday night.
It was tough to kind of accept it, Brown
said. Plus, I was kind of in shock.
But after talking to his family and having
conversations with Celtics coach Brad
Stevens, Brown looked to the basketball court
to nd solace. The 21-year-old ended up play-
ing one of the best games of his young career.
Brown had 22 points and seven rebounds,
Kyrie Irving had 11 of his 16 points in the
fourth quarter, including two free throws that
put Boston ahead in the closing seconds, and
the Celtics beat the Warriors 92-88 on
Thursday night for their 14th straight victory.
He inspired me to come out and play and I
played in his spirit, Brown said about Steede.
Savaun Brown and the rest of the Burlingame offense are going to need to break out its
doldrums if it has any chance of beating top-seeded half Moon Bay in the first round of the
CCS Open Division III playoff bracket.
Celtics 92, Warriors 88

Thats been big for Carr, who has strug-
gled trying to get the ball deep to wide
receivers Amari Cooper and Michael
Crabtree this season.
Theres a lot of tight ends that can run the
intermediate and short routes, but not a lot
of them on third down can run a go route and
catch a 35-yard gain, Carr said. Those are
few and far between. Having a guy like Jared
to have that speed that he doesnt just run
the short stuff or intermediate stuff, he can
take the top off and Im liable to throw it.
Even if corners are guarding him. Ive
thrown the ball to him when corners are
guarding him. Ive thrown it when safeties,
linebackers are guarding him. Just having
that at our disposal is really nice.

Altuve, Stanton
baseballs best
By Jake Seiner
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK Jose Altuve and the
Houston Astros have grown together, endur-
ing an arduous rebuild and coming out the
other side among baseballs best.
These days, nobody is standing taller.
Altuve won the American League MVP
award Thursday, towering over New York
Yankees slugger Aaron Judge by a wide mar-
gin and capping Houstons championship
season with another piece of hardware.
Giancarlo Stanton won the NL MVP, edg-
ing Joey Votto of the Cincinnati Reds in the
closest vote since 1979.
The 5-foot-6 Altuve drew 27 of the 30
first-place votes in balloting by members of
the Baseball Writers Association of
America.
I was surprised that I won it, Altuve said.
I wasnt expecting this.
It was a landslide long in the making.
Altuve has been in Houston since general
manager Jeff Luhnow took a scorched earth
approach to developing a winner. The
Astros lost 100-plus games in each of
Altuves first three seasons, beginning in
2011.
Houston won its first World Series earlier
this month, and it needed its longest-tenured
player to get there. Altuve batted a major
league-best .346 in the regular season, hit
24 home runs with 81 RBIs, scored 112
times, stole 32 bases and showed a sharp
glove at second base. Voting for these hon-
ors was completed before the postseason
began.
Its been over a decade since Altuve signed
with Houston from Venezuela only after
he was sent home from one tryout and told
he was too short.
They told me not to come back, Altuve
said. It was something me and my dad, he
went with me that day, we were like, We
have to go again. We have to try again.
Its not a rule that you have to be 6-foot
or you have to be really strong to play base-
ball and become a good player, he added.
Altuve beat out a player who couldnt be
more different. The 6-7 Judge won the AL

Truex maintains role of NASCAR favorite for title

By Jenna Fryer
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MIAMI BEACH, Fla. NASCARs four
championship contenders were seated elbow-
to-elbow previewing their upcoming title
race when they were asked to give one word to
describe the season.
Amazing, said Martin Truex Jr.
Brad Keselowski and Kevin Harvick both
said the season was long, while Kyle Busch
went with trying. But Truex? Well, hes got
nothing to complain about after a truly dom-
inating season.
Truex goes into Sundays finale at
Homestead-Miami Speedway as the clear
favorite to win the title. He has a series best
seven wins and six were at 1.5-mile tracks.
Homestead is a 1.5-mile track.
He leads the series in nearly every mean-
ingful statistic, and if the points earned all

have already won his first Cup title.
If it wasnt set back at zero, wed probably
all be congratulating Martin right now, said
Keselowski. But it is.
So its winner-take-all race, and everything
Truex has built this season is on the line. He
faces three former series champions, each of
them looking for their second title.
For Harvick, it would be the first in
Stewart-Haas Racings new partnership with
Ford. If Harvick wins, it will be SHRs third
championship since 2011, second since the
elimination format was introduced in 2014
and first for a team in a first-year relationship
with a manufacturer since Cale Yarborough in
1978.
Keselowski is seeking a crown to go with
his 2012 title, which was not won under this
format. He had to beat Jimmie Johnson that
day on points, and pulled it off. He will try to
give team owner Roger Penske two major
championships this year. Penske won the
IndyCar title with Josef Newgarden earlier
this year.
If either Harvick or Keselowski wins, it
would be the first title for Ford since 2004.
They are up against a pair of Toyotas, the
dominant manufacturer this season.
Busch is seeking a repeat of his 2015 title,
which some have marked with an asterisk.

Feud grows between NFL, Cowboys Jones over Goodell

By Barry Wilner
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK The Associated Press has
obtained a letter sent by the NFL to Jerry
Jones attorney accusing the Dallas
Cowboys owner of conduct detrimental to
the leagues best interests over his objec-
tion to a contract extension for
Commissioner Roger Goodell.
The letter accusing Jones of sabotaging
the negotiations was sent to David Boies on
Wednesday. Jones hired Boies and threat-
ened to sue the NFL if Goodells contract
extension was approved by the compensa-
tion committee, made up
of six owners. All 32
owners voted unanimous-
ly in May to let the com-
mittee finalize a deal
with Goodell.
The letter, first report-
ed by The New York
Times and The Wall Street
Roger Goodell Journal, was written by
outside counsel for the
compensation committee and given to the
AP by a person who requested anonymity
because it was not intended to be made pub-
lic.
Its the latest escala-
tion of a feud between the
NFL and one of its most
powerful owners. Jones
has denied that his objec-
tions to the extension
are tied to Goodells deci-
sion to suspend star run-
ning back Ezekiel Elliott
Jerry Jones for six games over
alleged domestic vio-
lence.
Elliott abandoned his legal fight over the
suspension Wednesday. He has five games
left to serve.
Your clients antics, whatever their moti-
vation, are damaging the league and reflect
conduct detrimental to the leagues best
interests, the letter said.
Jones has said he has issues with compen-
sation in the deal, along with concerns
about the escalation of player protests
involving the national anthem and how the
league has handled them. He also has sug-
gested that owners should revisit the power

good in the intermediate and the deep and
certainly thats something that lends itself
to being productive in the passing game.
Cook was Oaklands top free agent acqui-
sition in the offseason after spending 2016
in Green Bay. He has had at least four catch-
es in six of the Raiders nine games and leads
the team with 39 receptions. By compari-
son, Cooper has 38 and Crabtree has 36.
At his current pace Cook will nish with
69 catches, which would be a career high and
match his total from the last two seasons
combined. He also leads the Raiders with a
12.8-yard per-catch average.
Its fun, Cook said. Thats how football
is supposed to be when you can open up the
offense, and make plays and stay on the
eld. Staying on the eld helps the whole
team out. When youre able to do that, keep-
ing the chains moving, that just helps
everybody out, helps everybody get more
plays.
Thats what Cooper is hoping.
A Pro Bowl selection in each of his rst
two seasons, Cooper had become the focal
point of opposing defensive secondaries.
With teams now having to pay more atten-
tion to Cook, Cooper could nd himself in
more favorable matchups.
I would think so, Cooper said Hes been
killing it out there. Usually when a guy does
that, teams tend to focus on him. That
should free us up some.

per game in Bay Division play, a slight
decrease from their overall average of 45.
But Burlingames loss to the Cougars back
in October brought with it something both
teams can use this week: familiarity. Most
teams dont get a chance to avenge a regular-
season loss in the playoffs and Burlingame
hopes to take advantage of that opportunity.
We respect Half Moon Bay, but were not
scared of them, Philipopoulos said.
Theyre back-to-back CCS champs.
Theyre all the things a lot of teams aspire to
be.
But I think that we are excited and champ-
ing at the bit. This week of practice was
outstanding. Weve been dialed in all four
days this week. We have some good football
players. Theyre good, hard-nosed, tough
kids. Theyre not going to lay down to any-
one or anything.

Witness says he paid $160M in bribes to soccer officials
By Tom Hays
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK A former marketing execu-
tive from Argentina testified Thursday at a U.S.
trial that he and his company arranged to pay
30 soccer officials about $160 million in
bribes over the course of several years until his
arrest in 2015.
Alejandro Burzaco offered the estimate in the
case against three former South American soc-
cer officials accused in the sprawling bribery
scandal engulfing FIFA, the sports governing
body.
The 53-year-old witness said on cross-exam-
ination he knew when he joined the firm in
2004 that bribes were a cost of doing business
when competing for lucrative broadcasting and

State. The Warriors had won seven in a row.
Playing his second game since suffering a
facial fracture, Irving shed his protective
mask in the second quarter. Then, with the
game tied at 88, he was fouled on his layup
attempt and calmly made a pair of free
throws. Durant then came up empty on his
jumper on the other end.
Golden State led by as many as 17, but had
to lean heavily on its reserves as its trio of
Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Durant
struggled offensively.
Curry, who returned to action after miss-
ing a game with a bruised right thigh, was
the most ineffective. He was 3 of 14 from
the field 2 of 9 from the 3-point line
and had nine points.
It was just one of those nights, Curry
said. We had control of the game despite
how bad we all were shooting. We just didnt
sustain ourselves defensively.
Curry sat for a long stretch after picking
up his fourth foul early in the third quarter.
We kind of fell out of our rotation in the
third quarter, Warriors coach Steve Kerr
said. They were just tougher and smarter

Juan Angel Napout, of Paraguay, Manuel
Burga, of Peru, and Jose Maria Marin, of
Brazil, have pleaded not guilty to charges they
enriched themselves in an international con-
spiracy involving tens of millions of bribes
and spanning more than two decades. More
than 40 defendants have been charged in the
corruption case, with many, including
Burzaco, pleading guilty in hopes of getting
reduced sentences.
On Thursday, a lawyer for Napout, the ex-
president of Paraguays soccer federation,
pressed Burzaco on whether he directly paid
any bribes to his client to buy his influence in
awarding the rights.
Burzaco responded that he personally never

This Thanksgiving, whip up a pumpkin cheesecake with ginger

By Elizabeth Karmel
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Pumpkin is so popular today that
there is hardly anything that hasnt had
a pumpkin variation. Some of them are
no-brainers, others are so far-fetched
that I dont understand who is buying
them, much less eating them.
Back in the day, a pumpkin cheese-
cake would have been unusual, today it
is almost old school. But if there was
ever a meal that screams for pumpkin
cheesecake, it is Thanksgiving. Or the
day after Thanksgiving if you are a
purist and need your classic pumpkin
pie to follow your turkey and dressing.
I happen to love pumpkin, in pie,
bread, muffins, cake and cheesecake.
And, this cheesecake is adapted from
Natalie Duprees companion cookbook
Nathalie Dupree Cooks for Family and
Friends to her PBS show, Food for
Family and Friends. I love to collect
old cookbooks and picked it up several
years ago at a second-hand store. I was
looking at the book a few weeks ago
and it is surprising how many recipes
are either back in vogue, or still in con-
stant rotation.
Reading the recipe in Natalies book
reminded me how much I love pumpkin
cheesecake. Her headnote said that she
made it frequently for dinner parties
because it freezes so well. This year, I
am traveling before Thanksgiving so I
made mine and it is in the freezer as I
write this article. I hope that it will
thaw beautifully and no one will be the
wiser when I serve it on Thanksgiving
Day!
I have changed quite a few things in
her recipe but her recipe is what
inspired me to make pumpkin cheese-
cake this Thanksgiving so credit is due.
The one thing that I didnt mess with is
the crystallized ginger in the crust
which is genius, and makes the crust
more than just a vehicle to hold the
creamy fall cheesecake. One of the key
things is that I altered for my taste, is
less sugar.

CRYSTALIZED GINGER CRUST
Servings: 16 pieces
Start to finish: 8 1/2 hours minimum,

time: 20 minutes)
Chefs Note: I do not pre-bake the
crust or use a water bath in this recipe,
which makes it faster and easier to
make. If you are accustomed to baking
cheesecake in a water bath, go ahead
and do so, but follow the timing in your
water-bath recipe.
Crust:
1/2 cup chopped crystalized ginger
1 3/4 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/4 cups granulated white sugar

Gadot, who plays Wonder Woman, has report-

Justice League is the kind of production
that, one suspects, its makers will celebrate
the release of with a stiff drink.
Ive probably had a stiff drink along the
way, producer Charles Roven says, chuck-
ling. Its been different in the sense that
weve had some sadness along the happy-joy
of making the movie. But for the most part
its been an incredibly positive experience.
Now, Warner Bros. and DC are hoping that
the finished Justice League, which opens
Friday, doesnt show any Frankenstein-like
scars from its tumultuous creation.
The goal is to make sure when youre
watching the movie, it all feels cohesive,
says Roven, the veteran producer of The
Dark Knight trilogy. That imprint that Joss
had, some aspect of it is going to come out in
the direction, but the actors are already pretty
much down the road on their arcs. Lets just
say 80, 85 percent of the movie is what was
originally shot. Theres only so much you
can do with other 15, 20 percent of the
movie.
In interviews, Roven and cast members
sides with a spatula.
Mix remaining sour cream, 1 tablespoon
of sugar and a generous teaspoon or two, of
bourbon and set aside.
Pour filling into crust. Leave a good 1/2-
inch of space at the top. If you have extra
filling, make a small cheesecake. Set pan on
a sheetpan and place in the center rack of the
pre-heated oven. Bake 1 hour and 20 min-
utes or until set, but center of cheesecake
still jiggles slightly when moved. Remove
from oven and spread the sour cream mixture
on top. This topping will also hide any
cracks in the cheesecake. Place back in the
oven to bake for 2-3 minutes, just to set.
Chefs Note: I only let it bake for a few
minutes to set which leaves the topping
creamier and looser but will solidify in the
refrigerator as it cools. If you like your top-
ping completely cooked, let bake for an
additional 6-7 minutes.
Turn oven off; open oven door at least 5
inches. Let cheesecake remain in oven 30-
60 minutes. Refrigerate at least 6 hours or
overnight before serving.
To serve, run knife around edge of pan to
loosen cheesecake. Carefully remove side of
pan before cutting cheesecake. Cut cheese-

pledged their loyalty to Snyder and his vision
for the franchise, one they say incorporated a
changing tone before Whedons involve-
ment. (Neither filmmaker was made available
for interview. Each has stayed silent publicly
since Snyders departure.)
Zack from the time that I first met with
him said, Look, Batman makes the DC world
dark. The DC world has to be created as some-
thing dark, says Ezra Miller, who plays
Barry Allen aka the Flash). He said whats
great now is that the League gets to bring
Batman out of this darkness. That was always
Zacks vision. That was the intention from
the beginning.
The film, Miller says, has a wonderful col-
lision of tone that he considers a testament
to both the strength of Zacks vision and the
generosity of Josss commitment.
Its also a turning point in the larger DC
cinematic world. Justice League finds
Afflecks Bruce Wayne, in the wake of

got off to a rocky start and then Patty
Jenkins went and made a very good Wonder
Woman.
And yet somehow it is no surprise that
Justice League tips the balances back in
the wrong direction. Although marginally
better than Batman v Superman and
Suicide Squad, director Zack Snyders lat-
est is still a profound mess of maudlin mus-
cles, incoherent action and jaw-droppingly
awful CGI. It is big, loud, awful to look at
and oh-so-dumb.
With Superman (Henry Cavill) dead, and
the world facing yet another devastating
threat (yawn) this time at the hands of some
ancient creature named Steppenwolf (Ciaran
Hinds) and his army of giant alien mosqui-
toes, which look like Saturday morning
Power Rangers villains, Batman/Bruce
Wayne (Ben Affleck) and Wonder
Woman/Diana Prince (Gal Gadot) go in
search of some new recruits: Barry Allen/The
Flash (Ezra Miller), a quippy kid whos

Curry/Aquaman (Jason Momoa) who talks
like a surfer bro and looks like a Nordic
bodybuilder with ombre locks and fisher-
mens knits; And Victor Stone/Cyborg (Ray
Fisher), who is still in the sulky why me
phase of his superhero career.
There are some good moments, thanks in
large part to the addition of Miller, whose
quick, self-deprecating humor (likely the
result of Joss Whedons script and reshoot
work) and general liveliness steals scenes
away from his brawnier and moodier counter-
parts.
But everything else about Justice League
feels labored, from a preposterous underwa-
ter battle that comes out of nowhere and the
camaraderie between the superheroes that
THE DAILY JOURNAL
its critically acclaimed, zeitgeist-grabbing
$412.6 million box office success domesti-
cally. Though the epicenter of DC Comcs has
always revolved around Batman and
Superman, thats starting to change.
Matt Reeves has taken over the Batman
movie, but hes starting fresh on the screen-
play, making a release date several years off.
That leaves open the possibility of further
changes, even potentially Afflecks casting.
From everything I know, hes going to play
that Batman, said Roven. Theyre retool-
ing the script, so I cant really say anything
for certain.
The Superman sequel Man of Steel 2 also
isnt coming anytime soon, if at all. Roven
says theres no script but various story
ideas are being kicked around.
On the front burner, however, is
Aquaman, scheduled for release in
December 2018, a Wonder Woman sequel due
in 2019 (with director Patty Jenkins return-
ing) and a Cyborg movie. Whedon is also
prepping a Batgirl movie.

never clicks into place, to Batmans lumber-
ing gait (does the batsuit weigh 300
pounds?) and Supermans mouth which
looks a little ... off. Its likely because the
production had to digitally remove Cavills
Mission: Impossible 6 mustache for re-
shoots. After experiencing this unnaturally
altered face on the big screen, it seems like
the worst possible compromise.
And never has it been so obvious that the
character of Wonder Woman is now being
presented through a mans eyes. Snyder
chooses on multiple occasions to let the
shot linger on Gadots figure, whether pan-
ning up her legs unnecessarily to get to a
normal scene of dialogue or making sure that
the camera is there to capture the moment
when her skirt flies up in an action sequence.
It is, quite frankly, gross and a wildly disap-
pointing departure from what Patty Jenkins
was able to accomplish with the character
earlier this year.
Theres even an attempt to humanize the
potential destruction with a random impov-
erished Eastern European family struggling
to defend their homestead. The story focuses
in on the familys young daughter, who, in
braided pigtails picks up a can of bug spray
as a defense. Youd think that this might
come back and provide an opportunity for
her to a) see and be inspired by Wonder
Woman in action or b) at least get saved by
her. It would be so obvious. But they dont
even meet.
Its just a tiny example of how Justice
League feels like a bunch of disconnected
moments with no governing theory behind
it other than the fact that this movie has to
come at this time to introduce audiences to
characters whose stand-alone movies have
already been promised to shareholders.
Its not too late to re-think this whole
thing and start over. Just keep Gadot around,
please.
Justice League, a Warner Bros. release,
is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture
Association of America for sequences of
sci-fi violence and action. Running time:
121 minutes. One and a half stars out of four.

WEEKEND JOURNAL
A quick word with Ezra Miller on becoming the Flash
By Jake Coyle
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK Ezra Miller brings an
electric energy to the superhero team-up
film Justice League, pinballing off
the more imposing presences of Henry
Cavill, Gal Gadot and Ben Affleck.
They are mighty. He is fast.
Miller was first cast as Barry Allen,
a.k.a. The Flash, several years ago, but
Justice League is his most front-and-
center performance yet as the fastest
man alive. Hes also the best thing in
the film, adding a hyper, insecure live-
liness that has often been lacking from
many recent, more grandiose DC
Comics films.
Miller, who has been credited as the
first out LGBT person to play a lead role
in a major superhero film, has distin-
guished himself by playing hyper-ver-
bal outcasts in movies big (Fantastic
Beasts and Where to Find Them) and
small (We Need to Talk About Kevin,
The Perks of Being a Wallflower).
Speaking by phone from London,
Miller spoke with verbal gymnastics
WAGES
Continued from page 1
tally until it reaches $15 an hour for all
workers Jan. 1, 2023.
After wages across the state reach
$11 an hour by Jan. 1, 2018, the
Belmont minimum wage is set to reach
$12.50 an hour July 1, 2018, and
$13.50 by Jan. 1, 2019. By Jan. 1,
2020, the minimum wage in Belmont
will reach $15 an hour and will be
adjusted by the consumer price index
in subsequent years.
Several residents and representatives
of labor groups spoke in favor of
increasing the minimum wage to help
many who have been forced to seek
services and resources at government
agencies to be able to afford the rising
cost of housing in the region. Michael
Floyd spoke on behalf of a local chap-
ter of the American Federation of State,
County and Municipal Employees,
which includes city employees in
Belmont, to urge councilmembers to
take a step he estimated would affect a
quarter of all Belmont residents.
The idea that residents of the city of
Belmont, at least 25 percent of them,
make less than $30,000 a year is
hurtful, he said. These are residents
that they serve, that they see, people
that they pass by and help every day.
Lieberman emphasized the impor-
tance for employees to earn a livable
wage, but said the lack of information
city officials have on who the policy
would affect and how much it would

that even the Flash might struggle to
keep up with.
AP: Fro m Ci ty Is l and to
Fantas ti c Beas ts y o u s eem to
be drawn to pl ay i ng o uts i ders .
Mi l l er: Im definitely interested in
what I would call Barbara McClintocks
discovery of the rebellious gene.
Things advance by mutating away from
their point of origin. I do think that
happens on not just a cellular or genet-
ic level but within civil society. A lot of
the people who have shaped ideas and
science on planet Earth have been out-
siders. I feel often like an outside. Its a
fascinating type of person to portray.
And I think ultimately everyone has an
element of that in their experience even
if their life doesnt fully present that on
first look. I think everyone can feel
alienated and can both benefit by that
and know the harm of that.
AP: Yo u s eem a qui ck-wi tted
pers o n. Do y o u i denti fy wi th the
Fl as h?
Mi l l er: A cool idea about the Flash
is that he, as he starts to move quicker
and quicker with his body, he must also
speed up mentally. When we shoot
affect them made him hesitant to act,
noting answers to questions about the
number of heads of households earning
minimum wage, how many Belmont
employees live outside the city and the
number of businesses paying workers
minimum wage would help him under-
stand the policy and its effects better.
I feel a responsibility to some of
the businesses that have communicat-
ed with us their concerns, he said,
adding that without data to counter
their claims, he couldnt in good con-
science vote for the policy.
Lieberman said applying the mini-
mum wage increases for large busi-
nesses and building in time to revisit
the policy in the first few years of its
implementation would afford the city
with more data to craft a policy that
doesnt jeopardize small businesses.
Stone noted that some businesses
had expressed concerns about acceler-
ated wage increases, but that just as
many had observed the increased diffi-
culty workers making the minimum
wage face making ends meet. He wor-
ried applying the policy only to larger
companies could incentivize business-
es to employ a number of employees
just below the cutoff, making it diffi-
cult to draw a line distinguishing busi-
ness size.
What matters is were part of a larg-
er county and a larger region where the
cost of living is astronomical, he
said.
Stone acknowledged the unique chal-
lenge restaurant owners face in imple-
menting the policy, and said he thinks
Belmont restaurants can adapt to the
changes with the support of residents

something in slow-motion, like we
might on a Flash-inclusive movie, the
way thats done is by rolling the camera
faster. You shoot more frames per sec-
ond when you want to slow down the
image. In the same way, the Flash, as he
moves faster, has to speed up to his
brain in order to slow down his percep-
tion. Thats all well and good when hes
in superhero-mode, but one of the ques-
tions of our film asks is how does that
play out in social circumstances? I
think there are qualities that have been
detrimental to his social capacity.
AP: Were y o u at al l co ncerned
that a bi g pro ducti o n l i ke thi s
wo ul d l eav e l es s ro o m fo r the
ki nd o f acti ng y o u practi ce?
Mi l l er: I feel personally that if Im
struggling for integrity, Im already
lacking in it. I come from a place where
instead of trying to manufacture my
standards of integrity Im trying to
work in such a way that I trust in that
inherently when I step to any project,
whatever the scale. I want to maintain
the integrity of my process. Outside of
that, forget about it. Its anyones
game.
willing to pay extra to dine there.
Because servers at some restaurants
may make minimum wage supplement-
ed by tips, restaurant owners have
expressed concerns about a local ordi-
nance disproportionately affecting
them. Combined with the fact that
California state law does not currently
make provisions for a tip credit allow-
ing restaurant owners to pay those
earning tips below minimum wage if
their hourly wages combined with tips
bring them over the minimum, the
change has been viewed as a potential
burden.
Councilmembers agreed checking in
on the policy in July 2019 after two
wage increases have been implemented
made sense and that regular check-ins
thereafter would give them enough
time to collect the data needed to deter-
mine how small businesses are affect-
ed.
For Mary Morrissey Parden, presi-
dent of the Belmont Chamber of
Commerce, the citys support of small
businesses, especially restaurants,
would be critical to the policys suc-
cess. She said simple measures such as
distributing guides at local hotels pro-
moting Belmont restaurants and regu-
larly checking in with restaurants,
which she noted vary greatly in their
hiring practices, could go a long way
to easing the wage increases with
restaurant owners.
The Belmont Chamber of
Commerce hopes that theres a great
deal of sincerity behind economic
development for restaurants in particu-
lar, she said. And that we feel that it
should start sooner than later.

CITY OF SAN BRUNO
Notice of Preparation and Scoping Meeting for the Bayhill Specific Plan and
Phase 1 Development Environmental Impact Report.
The City will be preparing an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for a Project, comprising the
Bayhill Specific Plan (Specific Plan) and a Phase 1 Development under the Specific Plan. The
EIR will analyze the Specific Plan at a program level, and the Phase 1 Development, which con-
sists of the first phase of expansion of YouTubes corporate offices, at a project level. The City
requests your written comments as to the scope and contents of the EIR, including mitigation
measures and/or project alternatives to reduce potential environmental impacts from the Project.
Additionally, you are welcome to attend the scoping meeting and present environmental informa-
tion related to potential environmental issues and impacts that you believe should be considered
in the EIR. The purpose of the meeting is to assist in determining the scope of analysis of the
EIR; this is not a meeting for commenting on the merits of the project. Additional details regard-
ing the scoping meeting can be found below. THE NOTICE OF PREPARATION REvIEW PERI-
OD is November 17, 2017 December 22, 2017. THE PROJECT LOCATION is the Specific
Plan Area (Project Site) located in the City of San Bruno within the 98-acre area bounded by San
Bruno Avenue West, El Camino Real, I-280, and I-380. Existing development on the Project Site
includes the Bayhill Office Park, which contains a total of about 1.5 million square feet of office
space, and the Bayhill Shopping Center, which contains a combined gross floor area of approxi-
mately 121,000 square feet. THE PROJECT DESCRIPTION is the Specific Plan which will be a
regulatory document that will outline a cohesive, long-term, community-driven vision for the Proj-
ect Site. Presently, this area is home to the largest cluster of offices in San Bruno, including Wal-
mart.com, the SF Police Credit Union, the headquarters of YouTube, and other commercial uses.
The Specific Plan will facilitate integration of the Project site within the wider community as well
as within the Project Site, including the Phase I Development, which is described below. The City
anticipates that adoption of the Specific Plan will result in further intensification of land uses be-
yond what currently exists today. At this time, it is anticipated the Specific Plan would consider al-
lowing for the following land uses: commercial/retail, office, residential, hotel, civic (such as a li-
brary and/or community center), and open space. The City would process the Specific Plan and
the Phase I Development concurrently. THE PHASE 1 DEvELOPMENT is the YouTube Phase I
Development Site comprised of two separate parcels: 900 Cherry Avenue (APN: 020-015-020)
and 1000 Cherry Avenue (APN: 020-011-230). Both 900 and 1000 Cherry Avenue are currently
developed with existing office buildings. YouTube, the applicant and owner of the Phase I Devel-
opment area, proposes to retain the two existing office buildings and construct 400,000 square
feet of additional office space. The additional office space would be constructed on the existing
surface parking lots to the east of the existing structures at 900 and 1000 Cherry Avenue. A total
of two new structures would be constructed, one at 900 Cherry Avenue and the other at 1000
cels. DOCUMENT AvAILABILITY: This NOP and additional information regarding the Bayhill
Specific Plan can be accessed at the following website:

tingent creditors, and persons who may

tate, or both, of Carol F. James. A Peti-
tion for Probate has been filed by Carlton

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
Alfred Hom
Case Number: 17PRO01171
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, con-
tingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of Alfred Hom. A Petition for
Probate has been filed by Richard Qur-
eishi in the Superior Court of California,
County of San Mateo. The Petition for
Probate requests that Richard Qureishi
be appointed as personal representative
to administer the estate of the decedent.
The petition requests the decedents will
and codicils, if any, be admitted to pro-
bate. The will and any codicils are avail-
able for examination in the file kept by
the court.
The petition requests authority to admin-
ister the estate under the Independent
Administration of Estates Act. (This au-
thority will allow the personal representa-
tive to take many actions without obtain-
ing court approval. Before taking certain
very important actions, however, the per-
sonal representative will be required to
give notice to interested persons unless
they have waived notice or consented to
the proposed action.) The independent
administration authority will be granted
unless an interested person files an ob-
jection to the petition and shows good
cause why the court should not grant au-
thority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: DEC. 15, 2017 at
9:00 a.m., Superior Court of California,
County of San Mateo, 400 County Cen-
ter, Redwood City, CA 94063.
If you object to the granting of the peti-
tion, you should appear at the hearing
and state your objections or file written
objections with the court before the hear-
ing. Your appearance may be in person
or by your attorney.
If you are a creditor or a contingent cred-
itor of the decedent, you must file your
claim with the court and mail a copy to
the personal representative appointed by
the court within the later of either (1) four
months from the date of first issuance of
letters to a general personal representa-
tive, as defined in section 58(b) of the
California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days
from the date of mailing or personal de-
livery to you of a notice under sectioin
9052 of the California Probate Code.Oth-
er California statutes and legal authority
may affect your rights as a creditor. You
may want to consult with an attorney
knowledgable in California law.
You may examine the file kept by the
court. If you are a person interested in
the estate, you may file with the court a
Request for Special Notice (form DE-
154) of the filing of an inventory and ap-
praisal of estate assets or of any petition
or account as provided in Probate Code
section 1250. A Request for Special No-
tice form is available from the court clerk.

Activists praise Trudeaus comments about Duterte crackdown
By Jim Gomez
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MANILA, Philippines Human rights
advocates praised Canadian Prime Minister
Justin Trudeau for publicly expressing con-
cerns about the Philippine presidents dead-
ly crackdown on illegal drugs, with Human
Rights Watch saying the quiet diplomacy
adopted by President Donald Trump and
other world leaders wont stop the killings.
Trudeau told reporters in Manila on
Tuesday that he raised concerns about rights
abuses and extrajudicial killings in
President Rodrigo Dutertes anti-drug cam-
paign when he met him ahead of an annual
summit with Southeast Asian counterparts.
He was the only one among 20 heads of
state in Manila who publicly said he spoke
to Duterte about it.
Asked to comment on Trudeaus remarks,
Duterte said he was angered and insulted.
Phelim Kine of U.S.-based Human Rights
Watch said late Thursday that Trudeaus deci-
sion to speak publicly about his comments
to Duterte was deliberate, strategic and
TUNITAS
Continued from page 1
said Don Horsley, president of the Board of
Supervisors whose district includes the coast-
side. Its a fragile environment and we want
people to enjoy it, but at the same time we
want to preserve it.
There are two parcels that have been pri-
vately owned for more than a century, and
the county and POST worked with both
before negotiating purchase of the southern
lot. The move was prompted following
complaints about large amounts of trash
speckled across the beach and creek follow-
ing well-attended and illegal parties. The
property, which is difficult to access from
either a treacherous steep bluff or a winding
path along the sensitive creek, was an
attraction for illicit raves and overnight
campers.
In July, the county Board of Supervisors
approved rules prohibiting camping and
fires on the beach in an effort to more imme-
diately curb environmental degradation
while negotiations over the sale continued.
POST announced it bought part of the site
from V Trust, LLC, which owned the land
south of the creek that includes a rundown
house that was abandoned after it caught fire
on the bluffs. Now, POST is looking to raise
$10 million from the community and organ-

principled.
More than a year into
Dutertes crackdown, in
which thousands of peo-
ple have died, no for-
eign leader, including
Donald Trump and
ASEAN heads of state,
can reasonably be still
under the illusion that
Justin Trudeau soft-pedaling concerns
about the drug war will
prod Duterte to stop the killings and take
meaningful moves toward accountability,
Kine said.
Instead, such approaches provide for-
eign leaders a cynical veneer of substantive
engagement while in reality merely provid-

The money would support the design and
construction of safe public access trails,
parking, restrooms and possibly a ranger
station, according to POST.
A stunning property like Tunitas Creek
Beach should be cared for and available for
everyone to enjoy, POST President Walter
T. Moore said in a press release. This is an
ambitious vision that is going to take sup-
port from the entire community to make it a
reality. We hope to restore this property and
open it to everyone to visit and be refreshed
by its beauty and to share its many natural
resources with all of the living things that
make Tunitas Creek and the beach their
home.
The site serves as nesting grounds for the
endangered snowy plover and some conser-
vationists believe restoring the creek holds
the potential for spawning steelhead trout
and salmon to return.
Rich history
The sites rich history includes it once
serving as an Ohlone seasonal village and
stopping point on the Spanish Portol
expedition before explorers went on to dis-
cover the San Francisco Bay, according to
POST. Fast forward centuries later, and
Tunitas Creek Beach busted onto the social
media scene as secluded stomping grounds
for overnight campers and Burning Man-
style raves. Some would pump water from

The former head of the
Philippine Commission
on Human Rights.
Loretta Ann Rosales, said
that it was understand-
able for most ASEAN
members like the
Philippines that were

Western powers to guard

their sovereignty close-
ly. But after half a century, one would
expect 50 years as more than enough time
for ASEAN members to grow up and learn
the rules of the trade in diplomacy.
It was not clear what Trudeau exactly told
Duterte. Dutertes spokesman, Harry Roque,
told reporters that he was confident that
beyond stating that Canada is firmly com-
mitted to human rights, nothing else was
said in the private and very short talk
between President Duterte and Trudeau.
I think you saw how emphatic he was
that he will not tolerate states interfering in
what the president perceives as purely
domestic affairs, Roque said of Duterte.
the creek for makeshift hot tubs during cam-
pouts, and the riparian corridor would be
bombarded with human excrement due to a
lack of restrooms. Emergency responders
would descend onto the site after injuries
resulting from people scuffling down the
steep bluffs and last year a person reported-
ly drowned at the beach.
POST and county officials have been eval-
uating the site and found an area they
believe could be stabilized and used as an
access path for the public and emergency
responders, Horsley said. But its expected
to take up to three years to complete the
amount of work required to restore the site.
The work will include reinstating a water
connection severed during a landslide, and
is required to build restrooms and a ranger
station where the dilapidated house now
stands, Horsley said.
But POST and the county have emphasized
the acquisition is not about keeping people
away from the beautiful site, its about
instating safe public access that will simul-
taneously help protect the environment.
Beach battle
The acquisition comes as a battle to
reopen another beach just to the north con-
tinues. Coastal advocates, the county, state
agencies and the Legislature have taken var-
ious steps to force billionaire property
owner Vinod Khosla to restore public access
to Martins Beach.
Khosla bought the secluded crescent-

After Trump met Duterte in Manila on
Monday, they issued a joint statement
praising their countries enduring treaty
alliance.
The two sides underscored that human
rights and the dignity of human life are
essential, and agreed to continue main-
streaming the human rights agenda in their
national programs to promote the welfare
of all sectors including the most vulnerable
groups, said the statement, which did not
specifically mention the drug killings.
ASEAN leaders also did not express pub-
lic concern about the killings in the
Philippines. The 10-nation bloc has a rule
of non-interference in each members
domestic affairs, a policy that has been used
by member states to parry criticism and has
allowed ASEAN to endure despite its diverse
membership of nascent democracies,
monarchies and authoritarian states.
Duterte is highly sensitive to criticism of
his tough anti-crime methods and in the
past called then-President Barack Obama a
son of a bitch after the State Department
expressed concern over the killings.
shaped property just south of Half Moon
Bay for $32 million in 2008 then closed the
gates to the beach that was once open for
nearly a century to the public for a small
parking fee. The venture capitalist recently
lost an appeal to the California Supreme
Court which upheld a San Mateo County
judges ruling that he violated the Coastal
Act when he altered the intensity of the
lands use without securing a permit.
That case, filed by the Surfrider
Foundation, was a preceded by another local
activist group also filing a lawsuit and fol-
lowed by several pieces of legislation.
Khoslas attorneys have insinuated theyre
willing to take the matter all the way to the
U.S. Supreme Court, meaning the battle is
far from over.
Securing the beach
Horsley said the notion that Tunitas Creek
could fall into a similar predicament fueled
their desire to secure access to the beach and
officials are grateful the former owner was
willing to sell for a reasonable price.
I dont want a replication of Martins
Beach, lets put this in public ownership but
at the same time make sure we have rules and
regulations in place to protect this fragile
environment, Horsley said. It may cost
the county about $1 million a year to oper-
ate it, but I think its well worth it. I think
the public deserves to have an opportunity
to enjoy this spectacular park. This is real-
ly Northern California at its best.
