Spotlight on local talent in new ‘Top Chef’

San Mateo’s Brandon Rosen shares his story on Bravo’s hit culinary competition
By Austin Walsh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
After a house fire pushed his family to the
brink of homelessness as a child, Brandon
Rosen started working in restaurants to
help pay the bills, building a passion for
culinary arts along the way.
The San Mateo resident parlayed that
appreciation into a career, working in some
of the nation’s most
prestigious restaurants
before becoming a per-
sonal chef and ultimately
taking his talents to tele-
vision.
Rosen is featured on
this season of Bravo’s
hit TV show “Top Chef,”
Brandon Rosen pitting his sharp
kitchen skills against 14 others from
across the country in a weekly elimination
contest.
For the show, which was filmed in
Kentucky over a couple months this sum-
mer, Rosen said his central focus was
resiliency.
“It’s not how many mistakes you make,
it’s how you overcome them,” he said.
With a long history of persevering
through setbacks, Rosen’s perspective is
shaped by the challenges faced during his
formative years.
His first exposure to food preparation was
the chocolate factory which his family
operated in Michigan, where Rosen lived
until his home was demolished in a fire.
The tragedy gave way to great personal
turmoil, as Rosen was forced to take a job to

Charges dismissed in beating death case
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
After three pathologists largely agreed the
actions of two men in a fight with another
man could not be proven beyond a reason-
able doubt to be the cause of the man’s death
in May, prosecutors dropped murder charges
against the pair earlier this week, according
to the San Mateo County District Attorney’s
Office and a defense attorney for one of the
men.
Daly City resident John David Henderson,
35, and Pacifica resident Nick Anthony
Robbins, 34, are no longer facing felony
charges following a Monday hearing in
which prosecutors moved to dismiss the
charges since a pathologist with the San
Mateo County Coroner’s Office couldn’t
determine the beating was a substantial con-
tributing factor in 33-year-old Mario
Castellino’s death, according to prosecu-
tors.
Robbins’ defense attorney John May said
the May 19 fight between Castellino,
Henderson and Robbins resulted from accu-
sations Castellino borrowed a rental car
without permission and allegations either

phone. May said pathologists’ findings

Grand theft in home burglary
A home in the Burlingame Hills neigh-
borhood in unincorporated San Mateo
County was hit by a burglary earlier this

Los Robles Drive on Dec. 8 and made off

to believe any event causing his heart to race
that day could have caused his death.
He said Henderson and Robbins didn’t go
to Castellino’s home in Daly City with the
intent of killing him, noting when they left,
he was still alive.
“It was a scuffle, not much more than
that,” he said. “It’s a tragedy for everybody
… nobody had that in mind at all.”
At around 6:47 p.m. May 19, the Daly
City Police Department received a report of a
fight at Castellino’s home on the 800 block
of Bellevue Avenue. When they arrived, they
found signs of a fight and Castellino lying
on his right side at the top of a staircase,
according to prosecutors.
Castellino’s face was said to have been
injured and he was unresponsive with no
pulse when he was taken to the San
Francisco General Hospital, where he was
later pronounced dead, according to prosecu-
tors.
Henderson’s father and girlfriend alleged-
ly arrived at Castellino’s home while offi-
cers were still there and told them
Henderson had allegedly learned a car he
rented had been stolen by Castellino, who
was a former co-worker of his. Though
Henderson was able to get the rental car
back earlier in the day, he allegedly told his
girlfriend he planned to confront Castellino

with jewelry and personal belongings,
including electronics. Police Detective
Rosemerry Blankswade said the home was
equipped with video surveillance and a per-
son of interest was identified, but so far no
arrests have been made.  
“We want to remind people to use safes when
about the issue, according to prosecutors.

a.m. Sunday. Robbins came to the Daly City
Police Department shortly after Henderson
was apprehended to say his friend asked
Robbins to pick him up and drive him to
Castellino’s home to pick up some items the
prior afternoon, according to prosecutors.
Though Robbins allegedly stayed outside
the home for some time, he eventually went
inside to find Henderson over Castellino.
Robbins is believed to have kicked
Castellino in the head, according to prosecu-
tors.
Though it was initially believed
Castellino died from his head injuries, May
said no major head injuries were found
except for superficial wounds. He noted
Castellino had been friends with Henderson
for years and that his death was not an
intended outcome of the incident while com-
mending prosecutors for making a difficult
decision to dismiss the charges.
“I know it was difficult for them because
it’s an unfortunate death,” he said. “I think
they made the right call and my heart goes
out to the victim’s family.”
possible that can’t just be taken from the home
and it’s important to log all personal belong-
ings and keep serial numbers,” Blankswade
said, adding that her department always sees an
increase in crime during the holidays, but this
particular burglary is not part of a pattern or
rise in home burglaries in the area.

Mexico: Three arrested in
killing of young migrants in Tijuana
TIJUANA, Mexico — Three people were detained in the
killing of two young Honduran migrants in Tijuana, author-
ities said Wednesday, and Mexican media reported the vic-
tims had come to the border city across from San Diego as
part of the caravan of more than 6,000 people that arrived
last month.
Baja California state prosecutors said in a statement that
the victims were slain in an apparent attempted robbery
Saturday after leaving a shelter for underage migrants. Their
bodies were later found in an alley in central Tijuana with
stab wounds and signs of strangulation.
The statement said the victims were apparently around 16
or 17 years old, and another youth with them was able to
escape. Authorities arrested two men and a woman Tuesday
on suspicion of murder and other charges.
Senate unanimously votes
to make lynching a federal crime
WASHINGTON — The Senate has unanimously approved
bipartisan legislation that would make lynching a federal
crime. The effort was led by two Democratic senators who
are potential presidential contenders in 2020, Cory Booker
of New Jersey and Kamala Harris of California.
Joining them as lead sponsors of the anti-lynching bill
was the Senate’s third African-American member,
Republican Tim Scott of South Carolina.
Efforts to pass legislation making lynching a federal
crime have failed repeatedly in the past. The sponsors of the
bill say there had been nearly 200 attempts in Congress.
It’s unclear whether the House will act on the anti-lynch-
ing measure this week before the Christmas holiday, and
send it to President Donald Trump.

Millbrae gas station

Sheriff’s deputies are on the lookout for a

At about 8:56 a.m., the man entered the

The central bank has raised rates with
steady regularity as the U.S. economy has
strengthened. Wednesday’s was the Fed’s
ninth hike since it began gradually tighten-
ing credit three years ago. But a mix of fac-
tors — a global slowdown, a U.S.-China
trade war, still-mild inflation, stomach-
churning drops in stock prices — has led
the Fed to consider slowing its rate hikes to
avoid weakening the economy too much.
It’s now likelier, as Powell said at his news
conference, to suit its rate policy to the lat-
est economic data — to become more flexi-
ble or, in Fed parlance, “data-dependent.”

Firefighters arrived and quickly contained
the flames to the front portion of the car in
the hood area, according to Murphy. The
flames did not reach the auto shop and fire-
fighters remained on scene to cool the car’s
batteries for about six hours.
The car was then taken to a tow yard,
where it reignited shortly after 10 p.m. Fire
officials said they returned to the vehicle
and monitored the scene with Tesla’s sup-
port.
No firefighters or civilians were injured,
and the cause of the fire is currently under
investigation.
Tesla said in a statement that fires in its
vehicles are 10 times less likely than gaso-
line vehicles, and fires spread much more
slowly throughout the vehicle when they do
occur.
“We are currently investigating the matter
and are in touch with local first responders,”
Tesla said in a statement Wednesday morn-

Retiring U.S. Speaker of the House Paul Ryan delivers his farewell address in the Great Hall of the Library of Congress.
Ryan uses farewell to assail politics of ‘outrage’
By Alan Fram
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Retiring House
Speaker Paul Ryan decried the outrage
and bitterness that he said now color
American politics in a farewell speech
that also acknowledged his inability
to achieve two top goals: controlling
surging federal debt and reining in
Medicare and other mammoth benefit
programs.
“Our complex problems are
absolutely solvable,” Ryan said at the
Library of Congress, across the street
from the U.S. Capitol, where he’s end-
ing two decades in the House. “That is
to say our problems are solvable if our
politics will allow it.”
The Wisconsin Republican’s half-
hour address, which touted achieve-
ments and admits shortcomings, came
as he ends his three-year run as speak-
er. Despite GOP control of the White
House and Congress the past two
years, it’s been a remarkably tumul-
tuous period dominated by the erratic
decision-making and verbal outbursts
of President Donald Trump and
Republican divisions over top issues
like health care and immigration.

Ryan’s departure comes six weeks
after an Election Day that saw
Democrats capture House control.
Their triumph followed a campaign in
which they pummeled Republicans for
trying to repeal and replace former
President Barack Obama’s popular
health care law, a primary GOP priori-
ty.
Ryan never explicitly mentioned
Trump in his remarks. But he
bemoaned the divisiveness that has
been a hallmark of Trump’s relentless,
bitter denunciations of his political
opponents, often on Twitter.

Kasich vetoes gun bill,
bars gender identity
discrimination order
By Julie Carr Smyth
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
COLUMBUS, Ohio — Outgoing Republican Ohio Gov.
John Kasich acted as expected Wednesday to veto a bill
expanding gun-owner rights and, in a
surprise move, also expanded a years-old
anti-discrimination order to include gen-
der identity.
Both moves were consistent with the
prospective 2020 presidential candi-
date’s recent shift away from his party’s
right wing toward policies that he char-
acterizes as representing bipartisan com-
John Kasich
mon ground.
Among those are “red flag” laws allow-
ing gun rights to be temporarily stripped
from people who show warning signs of violence.
“Even the National Rifle Association is on record as sup-
porting the concept of red flag laws,” his veto message
said. “That the General Assembly has been unwilling to
even debate the idea is baffling and unconscionable to me.
This idea’s omission from this legislation is a shortcoming
that I cannot accept.” Kasich defended his record as pro-
Second Amendment, noting that he’s signed or allowed to
become law nine bills protecting gun rights.
The bill he rejected did strengthen penalties against ille-
gal “strawman” gun purchases, among recommendations of
Kasich’s bipartisan gun policy committee, and it allowed
off-duty police officers to carry concealed handguns. But it
also reversed the burden of proof in criminal self-defense
cases from the defendant to the prosecutor.
Kasich cited the latter among other reasons for his veto,
along with limits the bill sets on cities and counties want-
ing to pass local gun restrictions.

Judge blocks restrictions on

WASHINGTON — A federal judge
on Wednesday blocked Trump

Stocks skid to 15-month low

By Marley Jay
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Stocks gave up a
big rally and took a dive in after-
noon trading Wednesday after the
Federal Reserve raised interest
rates again and signaled it’s likely
to keep raising them next year.
The market finished at its lowest
level since September 2017.
The U.S. central bank said it
expects to increase interest rates
at a slightly slower pace next
year, and also said it isn’t plan-
ning any changes in the gradual
shrinking of its large bond portfo-
lio. But investors appeared to
hope the Fed would unveil a sharp-
er slowdown in interest rate hikes
and other credit tightening poli-
cies because economic growth is
likely to slow down.
The Dow Jones Industrial
Average swung from a gain of 381
points right before the Fed’s deci-
sion was announced at 2 p. m.
Eastern time to a closing loss of
351 points. The index is down
almost 9 percent in December.
The rate increase, to a range of
2.25 percent to 2.5 percent, was
the Fed’s fourth this year. Its
benchmark interest rate is at its
highest point since 2008, which
means higher borrowing costs for
many consumers and businesses.
Bond prices rose, sending yields
sharply lower. The yield on the
10-year Treasury note fell to 2.77
percent from 2.84 percent imme-
diately before the Fed’s announce-
ment and 2.82 late Tuesday. That’s
a substantial move for that bench-
mark lending rate. Bonds yields
are benchmarks for many kinds of
long-term loans including mort-
gages.
The Fed is now forecasting two
increases in rates in 2019 instead
of three. The central bank expects
the long-term level of its main
interest rate will be 2.8 percent,
down from an earlier projection of
3 percent.

Musk’s tunnel ‘rough around the edges’

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — Elon Musk unveiled his
underground transportation tunnel on
Tuesday, allowing reporters and invited
guests to take some of the first rides in the
revolutionary albeit bumpy subterranean
tube — the tech entrepreneur’s answer to
what he calls “soul-destroying traffic.”
Guests boarded Musk’s Tesla Model X and
rode along Los Angeles-area surface streets
about a mile (1.6 kilometers) away to what’s
known as O’Leary Station. The station,
smack dab in the middle of a residential
neighborhood — “basically in someone’s
backyard,” Musk says — consists of a wall-
less elevator that slowly took the car down
a wide shaft, roughly 30 feet (9 meters)
below the surface.
The sky slowly fell away and the surpris-
ingly narrow tunnel emerged.
Apple pledges nearly $9M
to help Oregon town store water
PRINEVILLE, Ore. — Apple has pledged
to spend nearly $9 million to help the city
of Prineville, Oregon, build an underground
water storage facility to help meet the
demands of the company’s two data storage
centers there.
Apple is Prineville’s largest water user
and takes huge volumes of water to cool
their facilities, where computers are in con-
stant danger of overheating, The
Oregonian/OregonLive reported Wednesday.
“We’re clear,” said the
driver, who sped up and
zipped into the tunnel
when a red track light
turned green, making the
tube look like something
from space or a dance
club.
The car jostled signifi-
Elon Musk cantly during the ride,
which was bumpy
enough to give one reporter motion sick-
ness while another yelled, “Woo!”
Musk described his first ride as “epic.”
“For me it was a eureka moment,” he told
a room full of reporters. “I was like, ‘This
thing is going to damn well work.”’
He said the rides are bumpy now because
“we kind of ran out of time” and there were
some problems with the speed of his paving
machine.
Business brief
It’s Apple’s second water conservation
project in Prineville.
Its first data center consumed 27 million
gallons of water in 2016, based on the most
recent data available, and the company has
added a second large facility since then.
Prineville, with just over 10,000 resi-
dents, produces 600 million gallons annual-
ly. City officials could not say Wednesday
how much water Apple used last year, but
suggested it could be approaching 10 per-
cent of Prineville’s total production.

DC slaps Facebook with latest
suit targeting privacy lapses
By Michael Balsamo
and Michael Liedtke
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — The District of
Columbia has fired the latest legal salvo
against Facebook with a lawsuit seeking to
punish the social networking company for
allowing data-mining firm Cambridge
Analytica to improperly access data from as
many as 87 million users .
The complaint filed Wednesday by
Washington, D.C., Attorney General Karl
Racine alleges that Facebook misled users
about the security of their data and failed for
years to properly monitor third-party apps.
“We’re seeking to hold Facebook account-
able for jeopardizing and exposing the per-
sonal information of tens of millions of its
users,” Racine said. “We hope this lawsuit
will ensure Facebook takes better care with
its data.”
Facebook said it’s reviewing the com-
plaint and will continue to hold discussions
with Racine and attorneys general scattered
across the country who have raised red flags
about the company’s mishandling of per-
sonal information.
The lawsuit is the latest blow to
Facebook in a year fraught with privacy
scandals and other problems for the
REUTERS
world’s biggest social network.
Facebook already has been buried in an
avalanche of other lawsuits filed in federal
and state courts, as well as regulatory inves-
tigations in both U.S. and Europe into
whether the company has violated laws by
repeatedly allowing unauthorized access to
the personal information of the nearly 2.3
billion people on its private network.
Most of the headaches began in March
after revelations that Cambridge Analytica,
which had been working with the 2016 cam-
paign of President Donald Trump, had been
able to vacuum up potentially valuable
information about U. S. voters off of
Facebook profiles.
That bombshell triggered congressional
hearings and changes in what sorts of data
Facebook lets outside developers access.
The Washington lawsuit alleges that
about half of the District of Columbia’s
roughly 700,000 residents had their data
scooped up by Cambridge Analytica in vio-
lation of local laws. That is a relatively
small number, but the case could attract out-
sized attention, given it will unfold in the
nation’s capital, where U.S. lawmakers are
mulling imposing new regulations restrict-
ing how much personal information
Facebook and other internet companies can
collect on their mostly free services.

Five-time Olympic champ forced to retire

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Five-time Olympic champion Missy
Franklin is retiring from swimming at age
23, citing chronic shoulder pain that has
affected her for the last 2 1/2 years.
She announced her plans Wednesday in a
letter posted on ESPN. com. Franklin’s
spokeswoman says the swimmer is with her
family in Colorado for the holidays and
isn’t commenting further for now.
Franklin’s success and bubbly personali-
ty made her a darling of the 2012 London
Olympics. At age 17, she became the first
woman to win four gold medals in a single
Olympics in any sport.
“It took me a long time to say the words,
‘I am retiring,”’ Franklin wrote. “A long,
long time. But now I’m ready. I’m ready to
not be in pain every day. I’m ready to
become a wife, one day a mother. I’m ready
to continue growing each and every day to
be the best person and role model I can be.
I’m ready for the rest of my life.”
Franklin is engaged to Hayes Johnson, a
former Texas swimmer.
She won six golds at the 2013 world
championships in Barcelona in what would
be her last major success. Instead of turning
professional, Franklin chose to attend col-
lege at the University of California,

17-year-old, announced her retirement due to chronic shoulder pain.
Berkeley, and compete for the Golden
Bears. She helped them win the 2015 NCAA
championship but developed a nagging
back injury.
USA TODAY SPORTS
Franklin failed to win an individual gold
at the 2014 Pan Pacific championships or
2015 world championships. She turned pro
before the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Games and
returned home to train under Todd Schmitz,
with whom she started in the sport.
Four months before Rio, she withdrew
from a meet with shoulder pain and later
revealed she was struggling with depres-
sion, anxiety and insomnia.
In Rio, Franklin failed to make the finals
in either of her two individual events and
won her only medal, a gold, by swimming
the preliminary heat of the 4x200-meter
freestyle relay. She was not one of the four
Americans who stood atop the podium after
the U.S. won the final.
“Looking back, surviving through those
eight days in Rio was the greatest accom-
plishment of my career,” Franklin wrote in
her retirement letter. “I was able to stay true
to who I was as much in failure and disap-
pointment as I had in winning and being the
best in the world.”
She had surgery on both shoulders in
January and February 2017, but the pain
never completely subsided. Early this year,
she enrolled at Georgia but was never able to
regain the form she displayed as a teenager.
Franklin’s last competitive race was in
the 200 free at the U.S. nationals in July.
She finished third in the C final.
She is the current world record holder in
the 200 backstroke and won 27 career
medals in international competition.

IOC warns Olympic boxing in
deeper trouble than AIBA claims
LAUSANNE, Switzerland — The IOC has told Olympic bod-
ies not to trust a recent claim by the president of amateur box-
ing’s governing body that the sport’s worst problems are over.
Writing to 206 national Olympic bodies, the IOC says a
Dec. 5 letter from AIBA president Gafur Rakhimov to boxing
officials is “likely to cause confusion.”
The IOC says Rakhimov’s letter “does not at all provide an
accurate portrayal” of its decisions affecting AIBA.
The U.S. Treasury Department says Rakhimov is a heroin
trafficker linked to organized crime. His election last month
led the IOC to open an inquiry into AIBA.

Senators bring bill to criminalize
vast doping conspiracies
Two U.S. senators have introduced a bill that would crimi-
nalize international doping conspiracies, the likes of which
Russia pursued during the Sochi Olympics in 2014.
The measure is named after Grigory Rodchenkov, the
Moscow lab director who blew the whistle on Russian cheat-
ing. It is similar to a bill introduced in the House earlier this
year but is given a better chance of passing in part because it
focuses on large-scale corruption and eliminates language that
would put individuals in jeopardy for smaller offenses.
Sponsored by Sens. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, and Sheldon
Whitehouse, D-Rhode Island, the bill calls for fines of up to $1
million and prison sentences of up to 10 years for those who
participate in schemes designed to influence international
sports competitions through doping.

New Ohio State coach gets win on signing day
By Ralph D. Russo
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Zach Harrison is one of the most highly
touted recruits in the country, and he goes to
high school 15 miles from Ohio State.
Yet not until Wednesday, the first day of
the early signing period, did the 6-foot-6,
245-pound defensive end commit to the
Buckeyes, giving incoming coach Ryan
Day his first victory as Urban Meyer’s
replacement.
“Huge,” Day said. “This was one of those
ones we had to win.”
Harrison’s choice, streamed out over
Olentangy Orange High School’s website,
was maybe the most intriguing develop-
ment of what can now be considered the new
signing day. This is year two of the early
signing period in college football and just
like last year, most of the scholarships
have been scooped up. The traditional sign-
ing period in early February will mostly be
for finishing touches.
“It’s not an early signing date, it’s the
signing date,” Alabama coach Nick Saban
said.
Alabama has already signed most of a
class that was already considered the best in
the country and added a couple more five
stars on top of that. Ahead of the Crimson
Tide’s latest College Football Playoff
Manchester United hires
former star Solskjaer as
team’s interim manager
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Manchester United turned to a popular former
player by hiring Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as man-
ager until the end of the season on Wednesday,
20 seasons after he scored
the winning goal in the
Champions League final.
Nicknamed the “Baby-
Faced Assassin” during his
time as a United player
from 1996-2007,
Solskjaer was known for
his lethal finishing and
ability to conjure up late
Ole Gunnar goals typically as a substi-
Solskjaer tute — none bigger than
that close-range winner
three minutes into injury time against Bayern
Munich at Camp Nou in 1999.
SPORTS
appearance and national championship pur-
suit, Saban has already locked up another
recruiting title.
The Southeastern Conference is primed to
have the four highest-rated recruiting class-
es after the early period ends Friday.
According to 247 Sports’ composite rank-
ings of major recruiting websites, Alabama
is No. 1, followed by Georgia, Texas A&M
and LSU.
Oregon rounded out the top five, the one
interloper amid the usual suspects in a top
10 that included Clemson, Oklahoma and
Michigan.
Ohio State has mostly lived in the top
five during Meyer’s remarkable seven-year
run as Buckeyes coach. But with a small
class (the Buckeyes signed 15 and don’t
have room for much more), and some uncer-
tainty about Meyer’s future throughout the
season, the Buckeyes trailed both Michigan
and Penn State in the Big Ten in the recruit-
ing rankings much of the fall.
Meyer was suspended for the first three
games of this season after the university
commissioned an investigation into his
handling of now-fired former assistant Zach
Smith, who was accused of domestic vio-
lence by his ex-wife. After Meyer’s return,
there were questions about his future at Ohio
State and health. He has a brain cyst that
causes severe headaches.
Now he is on another rescue mission at
United: To resuscitate the team after its worst
start to a league season in 28 years, which led to
the firing of Jose Mourinho on Tuesday after 2
1/2 years in charge.
The 45-year-old Solskjaer is a sentimental
choice as an interim manager — United has said
it will look to hire a permanent replacement for
Mourinho at the end of the season — and one
that should prove popular with fans who have
grown weary of watching the team under the
pragmatic Mourinho.
Solskjaer likes to play an attacking brand of
soccer modeled on the sides of Alex Ferguson,
who was his manager at United in that trophy-
laden decade when the Norwegian won six
league titles, two FA Cups and the Champions
League. He has said on a number of occasions
that coaching United was his dream job.
Prospects can be apprehensive to sign
with a coach who might be on his way out.
Meyer announced his retirement earlier
this month. Day will take over after the No.
5 Buckeyes play No. 9 Washington in the
Rose Bowl on Jan. 1.
The 39-year-old Day is a first-time col-
lege head coach after spending two seasons
as offensive coordinator for Meyer. Meyer
is 82-9 at Ohio State and if Day is going to
even come close to keeping up that level of
success, it starts on the recruiting trail.
Harrison is a five-star recruit who was
also considering Michigan and Penn State.
He had kept his recruitment relatively quiet.
Not until he unzipped his jacket to reveal an
Ohio State T-shirt did the suspense end.
“It’s been a long process,” Day said. “His
head coach had a lot to do with this. (Ohio
State defensive line coach) Larry Johnson
has been recruiting Zach Harrison for a long
time. Urban was a part of it.”
But just like those three games the
Buckeyes won while Meyer was suspended,
this win goes on Day’s ledger.

hardship waiver that would give him imme-

Rockets set NBA record with 26 3s in 136-118 win
HOUSTON — James Harden scored 35 points as the Houston
Rockets set an NBA record with 26 3-pointers and won their fifth
straight game, 136-118, over the Washington Wizards on
Wednesday night.
A 3 by Gary Clark tied the record with 2:42 left and fans began
chanting: “Three, three, three,” every time Houston got the ball
after that. The Rockets missed their next four tries before Michael
Carter-Williams hit one with 31.1 seconds left and was greeted
with loud cheers. The previous record was held by the Cleveland
Cavaliers, who made 25 against Atlanta on March 3, 2017.

Warriors: Durant passed Gary Payton (21,813 points) for 32nd
place on the NBA’s all-time scoring list. He now has 21,836

It is the first time the Warriors lost this season after holding an
opponent to under 40 percent from the field.
Jazz: Gobert grabbed eight of his 13 rebounds in the first quar-
ter. ... Utah tallied at least 39 points off the bench for the fifth
straight home game. ... The Jazz finished with 30 assists, the
seventh time they have had at least 30 this season. Ricky Rubio

2008, when getting 30 or more assists at home.

Feds eye move to regulate legal sports betting
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. — A pair of U.S. senators from oppos-
ing parties is proposing that the federal government take back
control of sports gambling in America, the first formal move
by Congress after a Supreme Court ruling reopened a complex
debate over fans betting on games and who controls the action.
Several states have begun offering sports
betting after New Jersey won a long-fought
challenge in May, and many others are
expected to take up the issue during new
legislative sessions in 2019 as a way to
generate millions in revenue.
The federal bill introduced Wednesday by
Sen. Chuck Schumer, a New York
Democrat, and Republican Sen. Orrin
Hatch of Utah would have the U.S. Justice
Chuck Department set minimum standards for
Schumer states to offer sports betting. It does not
explicitly provide the sports leagues the
cut of gambling revenue they have been seeking, so-called
“integrity fees,” but does not prohibit them, either.
“I knew that Congress had an obligation to ensure that the
integrity of the games we love was never compromised,”
Schumer said of the Sports Wagering Market Integrity Act of

surfers from dropping in. Hawaii’s burgeoning legend Kai
Lenny showed what the next progression could be at
Mavericks as there is plenty of video evidence showing
Lenny trying to execute massive aerials off the top of the
lip during a tow-in session in the midst of the latest swell.
Those kind of maneuvers on that size wave simply were
not thought possible a generation ago.
But it was the locals who were really crushing it, accord-
ing to Dom Padua, a cinemaphotographer whose passion
is surf videos. Half Moon Bay natives Hunter Murison,
Luca Padua and Michael Joshua were dominating the line-
up.
“They were catching more waves than the guys that came
over (from around the world),” Dom Padua said.
Does this week’s action bode well for the Mavericks
Challenge in the near future? Who knows? But as I’ve
always said, when Mavericks is firing, contest or not,
those waves will be ridden.
“Monday was a perfect example of self drive for big-
wave surfers,” said Dom Padua, who estimated the biggest
waves that day were in the 30-foot range.
***
When the Mavericks Challenge does get green-lighted
by the BWT, there is one main thing to keep in mind for
spectators: don’t expect to get anywhere near the break.
Fans used to be allowed down on the beach — and along
the bluffs next above the beach — until some rogue waves
and erosion forced organizers and county authorities to ban
fans from the beach. Just too darn dangerous.
So, if you do plan on making a trek into Half Moon Bay
or Princeton-by-the-Sea, just know the only way you can
watch the event is at local restaurants and bars.

2018. “That is why I believe the time is now to establish a
strong national integrity standard for sports betting that will
protect consumers and the games themselves from corrup-
tion.”
Hatch said that once the Supreme Court struck down the
Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act in May, “I
began working with stakeholders to ensure we were doing
everything possible to protect the integrity of sports from cor-
ruption.
“The legislation we’ve introduced today is the culmination
of eight months of high-level meetings, discussions, and
negotiations, and will serve as a placeholder for the next
Congress, should they decide to continue working to address
these issues,” said Hatch, who is retiring soon but wanted to
show bipartisan support for federal regulation.
The NFL weighed in Wednesday with a letter to the senators
expressing support for the bill.
“The threats posed to the integrity of sporting contests can-
not be confined within state borders,” wrote Jocelyn Moore,
an NFL executive vice president. “Without continued federal
guidance and oversight, we are very concerned that sports
leagues and state governments alone will not be able to fully
protect the integrity of sporting contests and guard against the
harms Congress has long recognized as being associated with
sports betting.”
If you don’t need the ambiance of watching a surf event
with dozens of like-minded individuals, you should be able
to watch the contest feed on the WSL’s Facebook page. I
follow the World Surf League on the social media site and
have watched several contests this season. I know people
have complained of issues in the past, but as a long as you
have a strong WiFi signal and a relatively fast computer,
you shouldn’t have any issues watching the event from the
comfort of your own couch — or office cubicle.

About a year ago, I interviewed Luca Padua, who was an
alternate for the 2017-18 Mavericks contest. He was 16
years old at the time.
An alternate again this season, Padua celebrated his
birthday this week with several sessions at Mavericks, but
he got an early birthday gift last month as he checked off
one of his bucket-list items with a trip to Nazaré, Portugal
— another big-wave Mecca.
As documented in a short movie by his older brother
Dom Padua, a surf cinemaphotographer, Luca Padua was
there to surf just prior to and right after the Nazaré
Challenge. After a number of “fun” waves, Luca Padua air
dropped into a massive Nazaré wave near the end of the
trip.
“It was forecasted to be gigantic (in Nazaré). It was sup-
posed to be 100 footer, legit,” Dom Padua said. While it
didn’t get that large, the Paduas got a taste of the differ-
ences between Portugal and Mavericks.
“What we saw was crazy,” Dom Padua said. “Luca got to
feel out a totally new lineup.”
As good a young surfer Luca Padua is, Dom Padua is just
as good behind the camera and is certainly making his
mark as a cinemaphotographer. You can check out Dom
Padua’s footage at vimeo.com/dompadua.

BASEBALL
Continued from page 11
OFAC confirmed to Major League Baseball in a
letter dated Sept. 20, 2016, that an agreement
with the Cuban federation would be valid.
“Baseball has always been a bridge between
our two nations, facilitating people-to-people
connections and larger agreements that have
brought our countries closer together,” said
Sen. Patrick Leahy, a Vermont Democrat.
Any disputes between MLB and the Cuban
federation are subject to resolution by the
International Chamber of Commerce.
“Establishing a safe, legal process for entry
to our system is the most important step we
can take to ending the exploitation and endan-
germent of Cuban players who pursue careers
in Major League Baseball,” union head Tony
Clark said in a statement. “The safety and well-
being of these young men remains our primary
concern.”
Only players under contract to the Cuban
federation are covered by the agreement, and
the Cuban federation agreed to release all play-
ers 25 and older with at least six years of pro-
fessional experience. They would be classified
as international professionals under MLB’s
SPORTS
labor contract with the players’ association
and not subject to international amateur sign-
ing bonus pools.
The Cuban federation may at its discretion
release younger players to sign minor league
contracts with MLB organizations.
A player can decide whether he wants a reg-
istered MLBPA agent to negotiate a major
league contract. He may use a representative
other than an agent to negotiate a minor
league deal.
U.S. Sen. Jeff Flake, an Arizona Republican,
called it a “homerun agreement,” tweeting
“This deal will make life better for Cuban base-
ball players, who will no longer have to risk
unsafe passage to the U.S.”
Players have told stories of harrowing cross-
ings on rafts and rickety boats — some later
challenged as exaggerations.
“Today is a day that I am extremely happy,”
said a statement from Los Angeles Dodgers
outfielder Yasiel Puig, who was smuggled out
of Cuba by traffickers linked to a Mexican drug
gang, according to court testimony. “To know
future Cuban players will not have to go
through what we went through makes me so
happy.”
Cuban-born players have a long history in
the major leaguers, led by Minnie Minoso
with nine All-Star selections, Tony Oliva with
eighth and Camilo Pascual and Tony Perez
with seven each. And while Puig, Orlando and
Livan Hernandez, Aroldis Chapman and others
became stars in recent decades, others have
been big-money busts. Outfielder Rusney
Castillo agreed to a $72.5 million, seven-year
contract with Boston in 2014 and has appeared
in just 99 games with the Red Sox while play-
ing 347 in the minor leagues.
“Words cannot fully express my heartfelt
joy,” Chicago White Sox All-Star first base-
man Jose Abreu said in a statement. “Dealing
with the exploitation of smugglers and
unscrupulous agencies will finally come to an
end for the Cuban baseball player. To this date,
I am still harassed.”
Any players allowed to sign with big league
clubs can do so without leaving Cuba, and the
fee paid by the signing team will be covered by
the same rules as in MLB’s other posting sys-
tems: 20 percent of the first $25 million of a
major league contract, 17.5 percent of the next
$25 million and 15 percent of any amount
over $50 million. There will be a supplemen-
tal fee of 15 percent of any earned bonuses,
salary escalators and exercised options.
For minor league contracts, the fee will be
25 percent of the signing bonus, and there will
be a supplemental fee for any foreign profes-
sionals who at first agree to minor league deals
that include major league terms that later come
into force.

went overlooked his first two seasons when
he didn’t pile up the sacks.
Buckner had 76 quarterback pressures his
first two seasons, according to SportRadar,
a number that put him near the top among
players who primarily rush the passer from
the inside instead of the edge.
But of the 60 players in the league who
had at least 50 pressures during 2015-16,
only six had fewer sacks than the nine
Buckner recorded, a cause of much frustra-
tion.
This year, the sacks have started to come,
with Buckner recording 6 1/2 sacks the past
six games, including four in two meetings
against the elusive Wilson.
“It’s really just taking advantage of the
one-on-ones I get and also finding a way
through double teams,” he said. “There were
a couple of times this year I got a sack
through double teams. It’s just finding that
extra step and finishing.”
This production is coming at just the
right time for Buckner, who will go into the
final year of his rookie contract in 2019. If
San Francisco can’t reach a long-term deal
THE DAILY JOURNAL
Raiders brief
Raiders sign quarterback
Peterman to the practice squad
ALAMEDA — The Oakland Raiders have
signed quarterback Nathan Peterman to the
practice squad.
Oakland also signed linebacker Cayson
Collins to the practice squad Wednesday.
Peterman was a fifth-
round draft pick by Buffalo
in 2017 but was cut by the
Bills last month after
struggling when given a
chance to start.
Peterman threw five
interceptions in his first
start in 2017 against the
Chargers before getting
Nathan benched. He then won the
Peterman starting job out of training
camp this year but was pulled in the second
half of the opener after completing 5 of 18
passes with two interceptions. He started
again in Week 9 against Chicago, throwing
three more interceptions.
He is 68 for 130 in his career for 548 yards,
three TDs, 12 interceptions and a 32.5 passer
rating.
with Buckner this offseason, the organiza-
tion will undoubtedly exercise the fifth-year
option to keep Buckner in place through
2020, but reaching a deal for longer will
assuredly be a priority once the season is
over.
Coach Kyle Shanahan said having a play-
er like Buckner who can provide that inside
push only makes the entire defense better.
“You can have guys get up the field all day
and if there’s nothing in the middle, all the
quarterback has to do is step up and just let
those guys run around them and have a true
pocket,” he said. “Even if the tackles aren’t
truly blocking the guys one-on-one, just
stay inside out, run them up the field and tell
the quarterback not to get deep. That’s
extremely hard when you have guys on the
inside. You tell them not to get deep, but
guys are in his face so you either run into
them or get balls tipped or you back up and
that’s when the edge guys get sack fum-
bles.”
NOTES: LB Mark Nzeocha (groin) and T
Joe Staley (not injury related) didn’t prac-
tice. ... RB Matt Breida (ankle), S Antone
Exum (hip), C Weston Richburg (knee), LB
Malcolm Smith (Achilles), S Jaquiski Tartt

Jordan Smallwood to the practice squad.

BILL
Continued from page 1
Without resolution, more than 800,000
federal workers would face furloughs or be
forced to work without pay, disrupting gov-
ernment operations days before Christmas.
While the White House indicated Trump
was open to reviewing whatever Congress
could pass, the president did not immediate-
ly weigh in on the short-term plan.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch
McConnell, R-Ky., said the Senate will
remain in session Thursday. “We have to
see what the House does,” he said.
Many of Trump’s supporters were frustrat-
ed that he appeared to retreat on his shut-
down threats after promising a fight over
the wall, which had been central to his
presidential campaign. Just last week
Trump said he would be “proud” to shut
down the government over his demand for
$5 billion for the wall. Some allies
described the move as caving on his
pledge, expressing concern that it could
hurt Trump’s 2020 prospects.
Rep. Mark Meadows, R-N.C., a leader of
the conservative House Freedom Caucus,
said Trump’s political base “will just go
crazy” if he signs a bill without wall fund-
ing. He warned it will be tougher to win the
money next year when Democrats control
the House. He said supporters of the presi-
dent “believe it’s a promise that he’s been
telling them that he will keep.”
On Twitter, Trump appeared to respond to
criticism by insisting that “one way or the
other, we will win on the Wall!”
Trump counselor Kellyanne Conway also
NATION
faced tough questioning on “Fox &
Friends,” the morning show known to be
one of Trump’s favorites. Host Brian
Kilmeade said Wednesday that Trump has
“no leverage, ” while Ainsley Earhardt
asked why Trump was “softening” his posi-
tion.
“The president is not softening his
stance,” Conway said. “He has a responsi-
bility to keep the government moving for-
ward, and he has a responsibility to get
border security.”
McConnell, though, portrayed the short-
term spending measure as a “simple” bill
that would show that Republicans, who
control Congress now, will finish the year
by not prolonging a potential crisis.
“Republicans will continue to fill our
duty to govern,” he said.
Voting was delayed until late Wednesday
as a bipartisan group of lawmakers, mostly
from the West, pushed a package that would
reauthorize a popular Land and Water
Conservation Fund, which expired Sept.
30, and add other measures addressing pub-
lic lands. Unable to reach agreement, they
postponed action as talks continued.
At one point late in the late evening, sen-
ators broke out in a round of Christmas car-
ols from a corner of the chamber. A few
moments later, retiring Sen. Jeff Flake, R-
Ariz., gaveled a procedural vote closed by
suggesting “Rudolph” had voted present.
It was unclear how many House members
would return to Washington for votes after
Republicans lost the majority in the
midterm election. Some 70 members
missed Wednesday’s session, almost as
many Democrats as Republicans.
With many House Republicans sour on
the spending package, passage could
depend on Democrats.
Democratic House leader Nancy Pelosi,
who is on track to become speaker when
Democrats take control Jan. 3, signaled
support for ensuring funding.
Should the legislation become law, the
border money fight would drag into the
next Congress, which could prove even
more difficult for Trump.
Pelosi will probably be able to quickly
win approval of a longer-term measure to
keep government running in 2019.
“Democrats will be ready to fully, respon-
sibly fund our government in January,”
Pelosi said in a statement.
As some Republicans grumbled that
Trump caved, McConnell lashed out at
Democrats for failing to give Trump any of
the $5 billion that he wanted for the wall.
The bill keeps funding at current levels,
$1.3 billion, for border security and fenc-
ing, but not for the wall.
“This seems to be the reality of our polit-
ical moment,” McConnell said. “It seems
like political spite for the president may be
winning out over sensible policy.”
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer
of New York said Democrats oppose
Trump’s border demands because the wall is
“inefficient” and because Trump, as a candi-
date, promised that Mexico would pay for
it, which Mexico has refused to do.
“We want smart, effective border securi-
ty,” Schumer said. “That’s not a wall.”
But the White House showed its willing-
ness to budge as it became apparent the
president did not have support in Congress
for paying for the wall.
White House press secretary Sarah
Huckabee Sanders indicated earlier this
week that Trump did not want to shut down
the government. She said the administra-
tion was looking at ways to find the money
THE DAILY JOURNAL
elsewhere, though that was uncertain
because it would also likely need congres-
sional approval.
Congress did pass legislation to fund
much of the government through the cur-
rent budget year, until next Oct. 1.
At issue is money for nine of 15 Cabinet-
level departments and dozens of agencies,
including the departments of Homeland
Security, Transportation, Interior,
Agriculture, State and Justice, as well as
national parks and forests.
The stopgap measure would approve gov-
ernment funding at existing levels for
those departments, without a boost for the
border. It would include a temporary exten-
sion of a national flood insurance program,
the Violence Against Women Act and other
measures.
Several lawmakers have complained that
the appropriations process continues to be
tangled in partisan politics. Top appropria-
tors had tried to improve the process this
year by passing bipartisan bills that would
have funded those agencies, as they hoped
to stem the cycle of shutdown crises. They
lamented having to abandon those efforts
for the temporary measure.
Sen. Richard Shelby, R-Ala., the chair-
man of the Senate Appropriations
Committee, said they “worked a long time”
on the bills, but hope “evaporated” as the
shutdown risk deepened.
Many agencies, including the Pentagon
and the departments of Veterans Affairs and
Health and Human Services, are covered for
the year and would continue to operate as
usual. The U.S. Postal Service, busy deliv-
ering packages for the holiday season,
would not be affected by any government
shutdown because it’s an independent
agency.

the update. “It’s a big deal.”
Under the plan revisions proposed,
development regulations
Burlingame will be loosened as offi-
cials seek to facilitate residential con-
struction in an effort to combat the
city’s affordability crisis.
Under that vision, areas near Rollins
Road, around the city’s northern bor-
der adjacent to the Millbrae train sta-
tion and along El Camino Real will be
upzoned to allow higher and denser
developments.
As officials look to establish a new
neighborhood in the Rollins Road
area, councilmembers agreed focus
should be directed to assuring it
becomes more accommodating to
pedestrians.
Ultimately, the transition from an
industrial area to one serving live-
work spaces will be smoothed through
development of a specific plan for the
area, councilmembers agreed.
The proposal aims to capitalize on
transit-oriented development opportu-
nities, while assuring the residential
growth does not infringe on existing
neighborhoods or economic growth
zones, such as the Bayfront where a
bulk of the city’s hotels are located.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO
ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
Lavoral Stamper
Case Number: 18PRO01316
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, con-
tingent creditors, and persons who may
otherwise be interested in the will or es-
tate, or both, of Lavoral Stamper. A Peti-
tion for Probate has been filed by Larry
Stamper in the Superior Court of Califor-
nia, County of San Mateo. The Petition
for Probate requests that Larry Stamper
be appointed as personal representative
to administer the estate of the decedent.
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: JAN. 02, 2019 at
9:00 a.m., Dept. 28, Superior Court of
California, County of San Mateo, 400
County Center, 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

Israel urges UN to condemn Hezbollah over tunnels By Josef Federman
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
JERUSALEM — Israel on Wednesday
urged a special session of the U.N. Security
Council to condemn the Lebanese militant
group Hezbollah and designate it a terrorist
organization following the discovery of
cross-border tunnels stretching into Israel.
Following a stormy session, the council
took no action on the Israeli request, though
several members sided with Israel and
expressed concerns over Hezbollah’s viola-
tion of a U.N. Security Council resolution
that ended a 2006 war between the bitter
enemies.
Early this month, Israel announced the
discovery of what it says is a network of
cross-border Hezbollah attack tunnels and
launched an open-ended military operation
to destroy them. It so far has exposed four
tunnels that it says were to be used to infil-
trate and attack Israeli towns and abduct

Israeli civilians.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu gestures as he delivers a statement at the Knesset,
Ahead of Wednesday’s debate, Prime
Israel’s parliament, in Jerusalem.
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu urged the
council to condemn Hezbollah.
“This is not merely an act of aggression.
Revive your smile - and your life - This is an act of war,” Netanyahu said. “The
people of Lebanon have to understand that
Hezbollah is putting them in jeopardy and
with dental implants. we expect Lebanon to take action against
this.”
At the United Nations, Israeli Ambassador
$1,999 per tooth - Implant + Abutment + Crown Danny Danon showed an aerial photograph
of what Israel called a “private compound”
$2,500 - Affordable Invisalign (Retainers Extra) near the border that concealed a tunnel. He

also presented an aerial photo showing
what he said were weapons-storage sites
concealed in a border village.
He said that Israel had given the peace-
keeping mission UNIFIL “precise informa-
tion” about the tunnels that was shared with
the Lebanese army. He accused the Lebanese
army of then relaying the information to
Hezbollah, allowing it to try to conceal the
tunnels.

fulfill its mandate in the region in the nec-

The U. N. ’s peacekeeping chief, Jean-
Pierre Lacroix, said UNIFIL had confirmed
Dr. Gupta DDS four tunnels, including two that cross the
Master Implantologist frontier into Israel.
Calling them a “serious violation” of the
15 years of experience 2006 cease-fire resolution, Lacroix said
(over 5,000 implants placed) UNIFIL is “acting judiciously” to complete
its investigation and to work with both
1201 Saint Francis Way, San Carlos sides to disable all tunnels that cross the
border.
PeninsulaDentalImplants.com “This is a matter of serious concern,” he
Thursday • Dec 20, 2018 27
said. Lebanon’s ambassador, Amal
Mudallali, said her country took the matter
seriously and remains committed to the
cease-fire resolution.
“This commitment is not rhetoric, and
these are not mere words, because this com-
mitment is in the interest of my country and
my people, ” she said, adding that the
Lebanese army is “deployed heavily” in the
south to make sure the cease-fire is hon-
ored.
But she also accused Israel of repeatedly
violating the resolution by allowing its air
force to routinely fly through Lebanese
skies.
“If we were to call for a Security Council
meeting, every time Israel had violated
Lebanon’s sovereignty since 2006,” she
said, “you will be in a 24/7 shift to address
them.”
Hezbollah, a powerful organization that
acts independently in Lebanon, has yet to
comment on the Israeli discovery.
Several council members joined Israel in
condemning the tunnels. Sweden said
Hezbollah’s military capabilities pose a
“clear risk” to regional stability. The
Netherlands strongly condemned the tunnel
activities as a “flagrant violation” of Israeli
sovereignty and international law.
But the council took no further action and
did not schedule a vote.
Israel has long called for a crackdown on
the Iranian-backed Hezbollah, a heavily
armed mini-army that is believed to possess
an arsenal of some 150,000 rockets that can
reach nearly all of Israel.
In recent years, Hezbollah has been
bogged down in fighting on behalf of
Bashar Assad’s government in Syria. But
with that civil war winding down, Israeli
security officials fear it is now refocusing
its attention on Israel.
Though it appeared the Lebanese army was
unaware of the Hezbollah tunnels,
Netanyahu said they know about it now and
must neutralize them for their own country’s
sake. Israel holds the Lebanese government
responsible for the actions of Hezbollah,
which enjoys significant political power in
Lebanon.
“The fact that the Lebanese army is doing
nothing means that they are either unable or
unwilling or both to do anything about this.
But it doesn’t absolve Lebanon’s culpabili-
ty,” he said. “My message is: Hezbollah is
putting you in great jeopardy.”
Israel also accuses Hezbollah of using pri-
vate homes to store weapons or other mili-
tary activity. Netanyahu called these actions
a “double war crime” since it threatened to
harm Israeli civilians and put Lebanese
civilians in danger as well.
