Prison for shooting encounter with police
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF REPORT
A 27-year-old man who pleaded no contest
to felony assault with a firearm for his
actions in a 2015 encounter with South San
Francisco police was sentenced to 10 years,
eight months in state prison Tuesday,
according to the San Mateo County District
Attorney’s Office.
The sentencing for Ivan Dejesus Gomez
came more than seven months after a mistri-
al was declared following a 26-day trial in
which jurors remained deadlocked on the
charges of attempted murder and felony
assault on a police officer in May. Gomez
received 1,665 days credit for time served,
according to prosecutors.
Gomez was firing shots in the air when
police responded to First Lane around 3 a.m.
Brown talks health care, four terms in office
By Kathleen Ronayne
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO — California Gov. Jerry
Brown predicted Tuesday that Republicans
would face disastrous electoral conse-
quences if a federal judge’s ruling to strike
down the Affordable Care Act holds.
“It will build such a backlash that the
Democrats will not only overtake the
Senate, they’ll win the presidency and
they’ll win enough momentum, particular-
ly on the issue of health care, it will be
replaced with something even better, ”
Brown said.
The Democratic governor called last
week’s decision by a Texas judge to strike
down the entire law “a bump in the road.”
But he also said California would not be
able to afford its Medicaid expansion if the
federal government stops picking up most
of the tab, as outlined under the health law.
California Attorney General Xavier Becerra

Club as he prepares to leave office on Jan.

ects and talked about the difficulties of
waging a presidential campaign.

jurors struggled with determining whether
Gomez attempted to shoot at the officer or if
he was firing up in the air. Though the jury
deadlocked on the attempted murder and
felony assault on a police officer charges, it
convicted Gomez of being a felon in pos-
session of a firearm May 1, according to
prosecutors.
Though Wagstaffe acknowledged the out-
come was not what prosecutors were expect-
ing, he noted Gomez’s sentence does take a
significant portion of his time.

ple who shoot at our officers,” he said.

Judge delays Flynn sentencing,
‘not hiding disgust’ at crime
WASHINGTON — A federal judge Tuesday
abruptly postponed the sentencing of
President Donald Trump’s
first national security
adviser, Michael Flynn,
declaring himself disgust-
ed and disdainful of
Flynn’s crime of lying to
the FBI and raising the
unexpected prospect of
sending the retired Army
lieutenant general to
Michael Flynn prison.
Lawyers for Flynn, who
admitted lying to the FBI about his Russian
contacts, requested the delay during the stun-
ning hearing in which U.S. District Judge
Emmet Sullivan told the former Trump aide in
a blistering rebuke that “arguably you sold
your country out.”
“I can’t make any guarantees, but I’m not
hiding my disgust, my disdain for this crimi-
nal offense,” Sullivan said.
The postponement gives Flynn a chance to
continue cooperating with the government
in hopes of staving off prison and proving
his value as a witness, including in a foreign
lobbying prosecution brought this week.

Trump signs order to
create US Space Command
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump
launched the Pentagon’s new Space
Command Tuesday, an
effort to better organize
and advance the mili-
tary’s vast operations in
space that could cost as
much as $800 million
over the next five years.
Trump signed a one-
page memorandum
Tuesday authorizing the
Mike Pence Defense Department to
create the new command.
Speaking at the Kennedy Space Center in
Florida, Vice President Mike Pence said, “a
new era of American national security in
space begins today.”
The goal is to set up a command to oversee
and organize space operations, accelerate
technical advances and find more effective
ways to defend U.S. assets in space, includ-
ing the vast constellations of satellites that
American forces rely on for navigation, com-
munications and surveillance. The move
comes amid growing concerns that China and
Russia are working on ways to disrupt, dis-
able or even destroy U.S. satellites.
US surgeon general warns
of teen risks from e-cigarettes
WASHINGTON — The government’s top
doctor is taking aim at the best-selling elec-
tronic cigarette brand in the U.S., urging
swift action to prevent Juul and similar vap-
ing brands from addicting millions of
teenagers.
In an advisory Tuesday, Surgeon General
Jerome Adams said parents, teachers, health
professionals and government officials must
take “aggressive steps” to keep children
from using e-cigarettes. Federal law bars the
sale of e-cigarettes to those under 18.
For young people, “nicotine is dangerous
and it can have negative health effects,”
Adams said in an interview. “It can impact
learning, attention and memory, and it can
prime the youth brain for addiction.”
Federal officials are scrambling to reverse
a recent explosion in teen vaping that public
health officials fear could undermine decades
of declines in tobacco use. An estimated 3.6
million U.S. teens are now using e-ciga-
rettes, representing 1 in 5 high school stu-
dents and 1 in 20 middle schoolers, accord-
ing to the latest federal figures.

Shutdown threat recedes as
Trump softens stance on wall
By Lisa Mascaro, Matthew
Daly and Catherine Lucey
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — President
Donald Trump appeared Tuesday to
back off his demand for $5 billion
to build a border wall, signaling for
the first time that he might be open
to a deal that would avoid a partial
government shutdown.
The White House set the tone
when press secretary Sarah
Huckabee Sanders indicated that
Trump doesn’t want to shut down
the government, though just last
week he said he’d be “proud” to do
so. The president would consider
other options and the administra-
tion was looking at ways to find the
money elsewhere, Sanders said.
It was a turnaround after days of
impasse. Without a resolution,
more than 800,000 government
workers could be furloughed or sent
to work without pay beginning at
midnight Friday, disrupting gov-
ernment operations days before
Christmas.
Trump Foundation reaches deal to dissolve amid lawsuit
By Michael R. Sisak
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — President Donald
Trump’s charitable foundation
reached a deal Tuesday to go out of
business, even as Trump continues
to fight allegations he misused its
assets to resolve business disputes
and boost his run for the White
House.

Sarah Sanders out a boost for
the border, as a
stopgap measure to kick the issue
into the new Congress next month.
The chairman of the Appropriations
Committee, Sen. Richard Shelby,
R-Ala., confirmed late Tuesday his
office was preparing legislation to
keep government funded, likely
into February. The White House
preference was for such a short-term
package, said a person familiar with
the negotiations but not authorized
to discuss them by name.
“We want to know what can
pass,” Sanders said at a press brief-
ing. “Once they make a decision
and they put something on the
table, we’ll make a determination
on whether we’ll move forward.”
lawyers for the Trump Foundation
agreed on a court-supervised
process for shutting down the
charity and distributing about
$1.7 million in remaining funds
to other nonprofit groups.
The agreement resolved one part
of the legal drama surrounding
Trump, whose campaign, transi-
tion, inauguration and real estate
empire are all under investigation.
Attorney General Barbara
NATION
She also said the president “has
asked every agency to look and see
if they have money that can be
used.”
The turn of events kick-started
negotiations that had been almost
nonexistent since last week’s tele-
vised meeting at the White House,
when Trump neither accepted nor
rejected the Democrats’ offer. They
had proposed keeping funding at
current levels of $1.3 billion for
border security fencing and other
improvements, but not for the wall.
The Senate’s top Republican and
Democratic leaders began negotiat-
ing new proposals and talks were
expected to continue.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch
McConnell said he was confident
there would not be a government
shutdown. McConnell said a stop-
gap measure could be approved,
though he suggested that House
Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, who
is poised to become House speaker
when the Democrats take control
Jan. 3, would not want to saddle the
new year with a budget brawl.
Underwood’s lawsuit alleging
Trump and his family illegally
operated the foundation as an
extension of his businesses and
his presidential campaign will
continue.
The lawsuit, filed last spring,
seeks $2.8 million in restitution
and a 10-year ban on Trump and
his three eldest children — Donald
Jr., Eric and Ivanka — from run-
ning any charities in New York.

Victims on agenda at pope’s sex abuse summit

By Nicole Winfield
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
VATICAN CITY — The Vatican on
Tuesday released the first details of Pope
Francis’ upcoming high-stakes sex abuse
prevention summit, making clear that
bishops attending the gathering must reach
out to victims before they get to Rome and
that accountability is very much on the
agenda.
Organizers of the Feb. 21-24 summit
warned participants in a letter that failure
to address the scandal now threatens the
very credibility of the Catholic Church
around the world.
As a first step, they urged the estimated
130 presidents of national bishops’ confer-
ences attending the summit to meet with
survivors in their home countries “to learn
firsthand the suffering that they have
endured.”
Francis invited the church leaders to the
meeting to develop a comprehensive

up scandal erupted anew in the U.S., Chile
and elsewhere this year.
Survivors have been dubious about what
the meeting can accomplish, given the
limited time, the varied experiences and
needs of national churches and the fact that
the problem has already been known for
years.
“They’re just now getting around to this?
Good Lord, where’ve you been?” marveled
Barbara Dorris, a survivor of abuse who has
been a longtime outspoken advocate for
victims.
Noting that the U. S. scandal first
emerged in 2001, she said: “It’s been 17
years. If you haven’t met with survivors in
17 years, I think that says a lot right
there.”
In revealing the first details of the meet-
ing, the Vatican said itt would focus on
three main areas: responsibility, accounta-
bility and transparency. The reference to
accountability suggests that church leaders
will confront not only the crimes of priests
who rape and molest minors, but the cover-
up by their superiors as well.

Truce brings hope for Yemen, but peace could prove elusive
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SANAA, Yemen — A cease-fire on Tuesday
halted months of heavy fighting in Yemen’s
port city of Hodeida, raising hopes that the
latest U.N.-led peace efforts can end the
civil war and alleviate the world’s worst
humanitarian crisis.
But the truce in the Red Sea city remains
fragile, and it’s unclear if the Saudi-backed
government and the Iran-aligned Houthi
rebels can reach a wider peace agreement
despite mounting international pressure to
end the war.
Yemeni officials said the fighting in
Hodeida subsided early Tuesday as the cease-
fire took effect, with only sporadic fire from
automatic weapons heard across the city.
Some 70 percent of Yemen’s food imports
and humanitarian aid enter through Hodeida,
which remained open even as the Saudi-led
coalition waged a months-long campaign
that failed to dislodge the rebels. Aid groups
feared the port’s closure could plunge Yemen
into famine.
The truce agreement, reached last week at
U.N.-brokered talks in Sweden, calls on
both sides to withdraw from the city and its
outskirts. A joint committee led by U.N.
officers will oversee the cease-fire and the
redeployment of forces. Local authorities
and police will run the city and its three port
facilities under U.N. supervision.
U.N. envoy Martin Griffiths has said the
committee will get to work swiftly “to
translate the momentum built up in Sweden
into achievements on the ground.”

It’s time to de-monopolize PG&E
By Alex Melendrez
T
here is strong indication
Pacific Gas and Electric is
responsible for the Camp
Fire, the largest and most deadly wild-
fire in California history. With the
possibility the privately owned utili-
ty might look at passing on the cost
to its customers, California lawmak-
ers should look into revoking PG&E
monopoly status instead.
It’s true that years of drought and
rising climate change has already
primed California to be a tinderbox,
however, regardless of these factors,
PG&E has increasingly been found
responsible for major fires in the
state. Its inability to meet these new
realities is largely a creation of its
own making. The 2010 San Bruno
pipeline explosion and fire, 2015
Butte Fire and the 2017 North Bay
fires are primary examples of the dead-
ly disasters caused by faulty PG&E
equipment. To say these incidents
were just accidents ignores the obvi-
ous repetitive nature of their frequen-
cy. However, beyond the proof of a
growing pattern of liability by PG&E
lies deep-rooted mismanagement and
an inability to oversee itself. PG&E’s
size serves as the true origins to its
faults. To put it in the words of state
Sen. Jerry Hill, D-San Mateo, “They
are too big to succeed.”
In January of 2012, the California
Public Utilities Commission pub-
lished an audit of PG&E in response
to the 2010 San Bruno explosion. It
found that for 15 years, PG&E had
diverted roughly $100 million from
customers marked for safety and oper-
ational improvements to payouts for
executive bonus and stockholders.
The diversion of safety funds contin-
ued through 2017 when $246 million
earmarked to move power lines under-
ground, went either unspent or to
unrelated projects without public

choices of who was to serve as

and despite a petition signed by over
350 residents, the plea was ignored
by both men.

knowledge. In the
same year, PG&E
was widely criti-
cized for doubling
its top executive’s
compensation to
around $8.6 mil-
lion. All throughout
the years, it contin-
ued to raise rates,
cozy up to their CPUC and lobby
against efforts that would be costly to
it. In just this year, PG&E spent near-
ly $1.7 million lobbying California
legislators. Its efforts largely
spawned the passage of Senate Bill
901 signed by Gov. Jerry Brown Aug.
3. A key change in the bill allows
utilities like PG&E to pass on their
fire-related expensive directly to con-
sumers. While the effects don’t begin
till 2019, that hasn’t stopped PG&E
from just recently requesting approval
to raise rates due to the Camp Fire.
While PG&E reasons that the
money is needed to improve its sys-
tems against wildfires, its need to
remain profitable to stockholders, fis-
cal mismanagement, nepotism and
political solicitation have proven
that PG&E cannot be trusted with any
state government or consumer
bailouts. The conundrum then
becomes PG&E either declaring bank-
ruptcy or passing on its negligence to
ratepayers. For California lawmakers,
the solutions to these issues lie in
repealing PG&E’s monopoly status in
California. The state should then
allow local jurisdictions the choice to
buy and assume control of pieces of
PG&E that operate in its borders.
Breaking PG&E’s monopoly isn’t
without its share of difficulties. PG&E
has more than 20,000 employees and
numerous retirees under its wing. The
cost of absorbing the infrastructure
and labor could be negotiated between
the California Public Utilities
Commission, the local jurisdiction in
question and PG&E. Safeguards for

While it would be a significant
financial commitment to cover for
local jurisdictions, the choice to con-

term bonds, taxes and payments
would be given to voters and elected
officials to choose on. Such control
would not only inspire marketlike
competition for PG&E, it would give
consumers more of a voice in their
utility service. Counties like Marin,
San Francisco and San Mateo have
already started to provide local energy
to their residents. The mechanisms
need only be set up by the state
instead of spending its resources pur-
suing bailouts for PG&E.
More than a half a century after the
company’s contamination of the
groundwater in Hinkley, California,
PG&E has continued its negligence
earning the reaction, “They’ll never
learn.” Enough Californians have lost
their property, homes, friends, family
and lives to the disasters PG&E has
caused over the last decade. With the
devastation of the Camp Fire,
California’s ratepayers don’t deserve

failures and PG&E should not remain a

Dear Santa,
“W
e must believe in the principle of hope
— an assumption that life can be differ-
ent than it is now.” — Henry Giroux,
“Zombie Politics and Culture.”
As I was looking through my favorite newspaper, it
made me think about a lot of things that need to change
in this country if we are to have hope for a decent future
for our grandchildren and great-grandchildren. When I
saw the picture on the front page of former President
George H.W. Bush’s solemn ceremony in the capitol
rotunda and read the accompanying article, it dawned
that one thing, especially, would help immensely. At
that ceremony, he was “saluted as a gentle soul.” We
were reminded that “his efforts for his country extended
three-quarters of a century from World War II through his
final years as an advocate for volunteerism and relief for
people displaced by natu-
ral disasters.”
During the previous
week and since, he has
been described by many as
an honest, sincere, decent
man who possessed digni-
ty and grace and who had
high moral principles.
Andrea Mitchell said: “He
demonstrated humility and
decency — so different
from today’s politicians.”
I hope that more people
will see that a president
like George H.W. Bush is
the kind of man that we need in the White House. Not
that he was perfect, but he had decorum fitting a U.S.
president that we could respect.
Santa, what I want for Christmas is hope — hope that
we haven’t gone beyond the point of no return with the
president we now have — hope that enough people will
see what a threat he is to our democracy, work toward
changing things and look forward to having an honest,
We need someone who would see (among other things)
that taxes are not lowered for the very wealthy and cor-
porate interests, college fees are brought down to a rea-
sonable level, infrastructure is repaired, the Citizen’s
United law is reversed and one who has some humility.
I know you are very busy this time of year, Santa, but
losing hope is one of the most dangerous things that
can happen to any of us because it makes us feel that we
are losing control of our lives and depression can take
hold. We wonder if it isn’t more conducive to our mental
health to just not care any more — to try to protect our
little corner of the world as best we can and live for
whatever enjoyment and distraction today can bring and
forget about the rest. We see so many people around us
doing this, we wonder if we, who have been so con-
cerned and caring until now, should join what seems to
be the uninvolved majority. 
Making our own choices, taking responsibility for
our own actions, and trying to fight injustice, irrespon-
sibility and dishonesty seems so futile. But the belief
that we are capable and competent to make some change
is critical to our health and happiness. This is basic to
self-confidence and self-respect. It is necessary to opti-
mism which is inextricably meshed with hope. 
Santa, I know you would tell me that it helps, when we
are on the verge of hopelessness, to try to do something
to alleviate the problems that underlie our declining
optimism.
We need to do something this holiday season that sus-
tains or renews hope in our lives and in the lives of oth-
ers. We need to let this season be a reminder of our abil-
ity to create joy, to give of ourselves and to come
together in goodwill and rekindle the warmth of love
and the feeling that there may be hope for humankind
after all. And though the days of winter may be dark and
dreary and events may be dismaying and depressing, we
can light a candle, offer cheerful greetings and do what-
ever we can to improve life — especially for our loved
ones and those in need.
Let’s hope that there are enough people in this coun-
try who are empathetic, compassionate, responsible,
honest, decent and have enough common sense to pre-
vent our flailing democracy from sinking even deeper
into the depths of the capitalistic abyss that is over-
whelming and corrupting it. It may help to keep in mind
an adage by Clare Boothe Luce: “There are no hopeless
situations, there are only people who have grown hope-
less about them.”
Thanks for listening, Santa. I know that this is ask-
ing an awfully lot, but these are trying times!

Plunging oil pulls energy stocks lower

By Marley Jay
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — After two days of
huge losses, U.S. stocks ended the
day back where they started on
Tuesday. Energy companies sank
as crude oil plunged 7 percent, but
technology and consumer-focused
companies climbed.
U.S. crude oil fell to its lowest
price since August 2017, and it
has now fallen almost 40 percent
since early October. Investors are
worried that supplies continue to
increase and that demand is slow-
ing as the global economy weak-
ens. The plunge in oil prices has
crushed energy company stocks in
recent weeks.
Energy stocks including Exxon
Mobil fell again on Tuesday, but
some of those losses were offset
by gains in Apple, Amazon,
Microsoft and Boeing. Boeing
raised its quarterly dividend and
said it will buy back another $20
billion of its own stock. Boeing
has tumbled on worries that the
global trade war will hit its profits
particularly hard.
The Federal Reserve started its
last meeting of the year. Investors
expect it to raise interest rates on
Wednesday when the meeting con-
cludes. That would be its fourth
increase this year, and its ninth in
three years. Investors are hoping
the Fed will say the increases are
going to slow down in 2019 in
light of recent signs that econom-
ic growth is slowing.

of widespread market declines had

Trump administration moves to ban bump stocks

By Michael Balsamo
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — The Trump
administration moved Tuesday to
officially ban bump stocks,
which allow semi-automatic
weapons to fire rapidly like auto-
matic firearms, and has made them
illegal to possess beginning in
late March.
The devices will be banned
under a federal law that prohibits
machine guns, according to a sen-
ior Justice Department official.
Bump stocks became a focal
point of the national gun control
debate after they were used in
October 2017 when a man opened

more in the deadliest mass shoot-
ing in modern U.S. history.
The regulation, which was
signed by Acting Attorney
General Matthew Whitaker on
Tuesday morning, will go into
effect 90 days after it is formally
published in the Federal Register,
which is expected to happen on
Friday, the Justice Department
official said.
The official wasn’t authorized
to discuss the matter publicly
ahead of the regulation’s formal
publication and spoke to the AP
on condition of anonymity.
In March, President Donald
Trump said his administration
would “ban” the devices, which he
said “turn legal weapons into ille-
gal machines.”
Shortly after the president’s
comments, the Justice
Department announced that it had
started the process to amend feder-
al firearms regulations to define
bump stocks as machine guns.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco,
Firearms and Explosives sought
public comment on the proposal,
drawing more than 35,000 com-
ments.
The amended regulations
reverse a 2010 ATF decision that
found bump stocks did not amount
to machine guns and could not be
regulated unless Congress
changed existing firearms law or
passed a new one. In the aftermath
of the Las Vegas shooting, there
was a growing push by some
members of Congress to ban
bump stocks, but no legislation
was passed. At least 10 states
have sought their own restric-
tions on the devices.

Calendar impacts PAL schedule

By Nathan Mollat
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
No, it’s not your imagination. Yes, the
Peninsula Athletic League boys’ soccer
schedule started last week, while the PAL
basketball schedule gets underway this
weekend.
Blame the National Federation of State
High School Association (NFHS) and its
events calendar.
“We’re a week shorter than we’ve ever
been, ” said PAL commissioner Terry
Stogner. “Next year, we get it (that lost
week) back.”
The national federation sets the calendar
that states have to follow, which in turn
trickles down to the sections and, at the
end, the various high school leagues. When
the Central Coast Section says regular-sea-
son games have to be finished by a specific
date on the calendar, all leagues have to
adjust to make sure they can fit in their
schedules.
Because the PAL is one of the larger
leagues in CCS, games were scheduled for
the time before Christmas. The PAL basket-
ball schedule, for example, kicks off this
Friday with quads at nearly all the PAL South
schools. The PAL North, on the other hand,
had a bit more leeway.
“It’s just a jarring thing,” said Westmoor
head coach Herb Yaptinchay, who is also the
CCS representative for the PAL North divi-
sion. “If you ask the coaches, not too many
are happy with starting league this early. …
We still have five more preseason games.”
The goal is to avoid playing three games
in one week, although because of the odd
number of teams in the PAL North, the North
schedule always has a number of three-game
weeks. That’s why a number of PAL North
teams are eschewing playing their league

college recruits top-10 opponent
By Steve Megargee
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
College football fans used to
treat the first Wednesday of
February like a virtual national
holiday. Now that recruiting ritual
and all the madness surrounding it
has shifted to December.
Most schools are signing nearly
all their incoming recruits the
week before Christmas.
The arrival of an early signing
period last year enticed the vast
majority of last year’s top seniors
to finalize their college plans in
December . Coaches and recruiting
analysts expect that pattern to
continue for the foreseeable future
— and they’ve planned according-
ly.
“I just think everybody sees (December) as
the new signing date, in my opinion.”
— Mike Gundy, Oklahoma State head coach
“I just think everybody sees
(December) as the new signing
date, in my opinion,” Oklahoma
State coach Mike Gundy said.
This year’s early signing period
begins Wednesday and runs
through Friday. Seniors also have
the option of waiting until the
Feb. 6 signing date. ESPN director
of recruiting Tom Luginbill said
72 percent of last year’s recruiting
class signed in December rather
than February.
“I would be surprised if that’s
not closer to 75-80 this time
around,” Luginbill said.
That doesn’t surprise longtime

NEW YORK — Matt Harvey has agreed to

Manchester United sacks Goalie Zack Steffen voted
USSF male player of 2018
manager Jose Mourinho
By Steve Douglas
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Wanted: A coach to restore Manchester
United to its former status as a major force in
European soccer.
It was a task that proved beyond even Jose
Mourinho.
United brought an end to Mourinho’s turbu-
lent 2 1/2-year spell at the storied English
club by firing him on Tuesday, an inevitable
move that follows a pattern of bitter endings
at the Portuguese coach’s recent teams.
“Be careful,” Mourinho said to reporters and
photographers through the open window of a
car that whisked him away from the city-cen-
ter hotel where he lived throughout his time at
United.
Indeed, these are worrying times for both
United, which is arguably at its lowest point
since the departure of long-time manager Alex
Ferguson in 2013, and Mourinho, whose
illustrious coaching career is at a crossroads
as critics question if his abrasive approach,
on and off the field, still suits modern-day soc-
cer.
United said it will not hire a permanent
replacement for Mourinho until the offsea-
son. The club will soon appoint a caretaker
manager for the remainder of the season and a
page on United’s website suggested it will be
former striker Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
Under a video of Solskjaer celebrating after
scoring the winning goal for United in the
1999 Champions League final, a post read :
“Solskjaer becomes our interim manager, 20
seasons after clinching the Treble with THAT
goal at Camp Nou...”
No official announcement has been made,
however.
The end for Mourinho at English soccer’s
most prestigious club came two days after a 3-
1 loss at fierce rival Liverpool, the latest
reminder of just how far United has slumped
behind the top teams in the Premier League
and Europe.
It was a result that left United sixth in the
Premier League, 19 points off the lead after 17
games and, perhaps more significantly, 11
points off the top four in the race to secure
Champions League qualification for next sea-
son. It is United’s worst 17-game start to a
league campaign since the 1990-91 season.
“The club would like to thank Jose for his
work during his time at Manchester United
and to wish him success in the future,” United
said in a three-line statement released after
SPORTS
REUTERS
A 3-1 loss to rival Liverpool was the final straw
for Manchester United, who parted ways with
manager Jose Mourinho after 2 1/2 seasons.
Mourinho was told of his fate in a face-to-face
meeting with executive vice chairman Ed
Woodward.
United won two titles in Mourinho’s first
season — the English League Cup and the
Europa League — but failed to capture a tro-
phy in his second season, although runner-up
spot in the league was its highest finish since
Ferguson left.
Mourinho has historically encountered
problems in his third season in charge at
clubs he has managed, and it was no different
at United.
His relationship with Paul Pogba, United’s
record signing at $116 million and the mar-
quee arrival in Mourinho’s reign, appeared
broken following a spat that started in the off-
season.
Pogba, who hasn’t started for United in its
last three games, wrote on Instagram
“Caption this!” alongside a picture of him
smirking in a post published soon after the
announcement of Mourinho’s departure. It
was quickly deleted.
Mourinho has also publicly criticized other
players, including Luke Shaw and Anthony
Martial, during his reign. By the end, it felt as
if Mourinho was unloved and increasingly
alienated.
Tellingly, the only public message from a
United player in the hours following
Mourinho’s departure was that post by Pogba.
Mourinho, who oversaw the outlay of $470
million on players while at United, also
appeared to have a fractious relationship with
Woodward especially since the club’s board
failed to back his wish to sign a central
defender in the offseason. United has already
conceded more goals in the league (29) than it
did in all of last season.

cities after several dropped out over a lack of
local support. Beijing got the 2022 Winter
Olympics by attrition, winning by four votes
over Almaty, Kazakhstan, after a half-dozen
European bidders dropped out, discouraged by
soaring costs and taxpayer backlash.
That’s why a city that, for a time, stood out as

weeks off after falling 79-73 at Gonzaga on
Dec. 2 for its lone loss of the season. The
Cardinal returned from that layoff by show-
casing Final Four potential in back-to-back
wins over Baylor and Tennessee (8-1).
“Gonzaga’s a very good team, and our
team learned an important lesson there and
took it to heart, ” Stanford coach Tara
VanDerveer said. “We didn’t like how we
played at Gonzaga. We needed to play a lot
harder. We needed to play smarter. We need-
ed to show a lot more resilience.”
They’ve done just that.
The Cardinal shot 14 of 24 from 3-point
range Tuesday and outrebounded Tennessee
45-31 to withstand a 20-turnover perform-
ance. Stanford also overcame a brilliant
effort from Tennessee’s Evina Westbrook,

sign now because they’re tired of the recruit-
ing process. Other seniors might feel pres-
sure to get it over with now because so many
of their classmates are already signing early.
“Right now statistically I’m hearing any-
where from 80-85 percent of the top players
are going to sign Wednesday,” Rollinson
said. “Well, if I’m a parent, I’m looking at
that and saying we’d better be careful here,

who scored a career-high 29 points and also
had 10 assists.
Stanford was just two points away from
matching the highest scoring total ever for
a Tennessee opponent at Thompson-Boling
Arena, the Lady Vols’ home floor since the
1987-88 season. The record is owned by
Texas, which beat the Lady Vols 97-78 on
Dec. 9, 1987.
Tennessee coach Holly Warlick said her
team played “soft” Tuesday and showed a
lack of effort for the first time all season.
“How have we won games? Defense,”
Warlick said. “How have we won games?
Rebounding. It was non-existent tonight.
They did nothing that we didn’t know about,
that we didn’t practice and prepare for.
Nothing. They didn’t do anything that sur-
prised us. We did a lot of things that sur-
prised me.”
Carrington led five Stanford players in
double figures by shooting 11 of 15 overall
and 4 of 5 from 3-point range, setting a
career high for 3-point shots. Her previous
that are still available.”
The arrival of a December signing period
created uncertainty in last year’s recruiting
cycle because nobody knew just how many
seniors would end their college selection
process before the winter holidays.
Now they have a better idea.
“I think all of us coaches would tell you it
surprised us that so many kids wanted to get it
done and signed in December,” Texas coach
Tom Herman said.
The change in the recruiting calendar has
forced most programs to adjust. That includes
offering prospects earlier and getting more of
them on campus for official visits in the
spring.
Once this early signing period has ended,
career high for scoring was a 24-point out-
burst against Kent State on Nov. 23, 2017.
The 5-foot-11 junior acknowledged after
the game she was surprised Tennessee con-
tinued leaving her open from beyond the
arc.
“After the first two, I figured they were
going to come out a little bit more, ”
Carrington said. “I hesitated on one because
I thought they were going to come out, but I
just took the shot. I was feeling it.”
Kiana Williams and Alanna Smith each
added 16 points for Stanford. Lacie Hull
scored 14 and Maya Dodson had 10.
Rennia Davis had 14 points and 10
rebounds for the Lady Vols. Meme Jackson
scored 17 points and Zaay Green added 14.
Tennessee trailed by as many as 15 before
rallying to take its first lead at 56-55 with
5:21 left in the third quarter. Stanford
regained the lead later in the third.
After a Green 3-pointer cut Stanford’s lead
to 69-67 with 9:03 left, Carrington scored
the game’s next six points.
most teams will only be pursuing a few more
high school seniors while shifting their
attention to the sophomore and junior class-
es.
“The way you go about your business has
totally changed,” Texas A&M coach Jimbo
Fisher said.
Coaches aren’t the only ones adapting.
ESPN has altered its recruiting coverage based
on what happened during the first year of the
early signing period.
Last year, ESPNU aired two hours of cover-
age on the first day of the early signing peri-
od and two more hours on the final day.
Because so much of the action during last
year’s early signing period occurred on the
opening day, ESPN will have five hours of

BIG PICTURE
Stanfo rd: This team’s remarkable versa-
tility was evident in the way Stanford
thrived, even when Smith was on the bench
in foul trouble. Stanford’s rebounding dom-
inance and 3-point accuracy showed the
Cardinal can win in a variety of different
ways.
Tennessee: The Lady Vols suddenly must
work on their rebounding, typically a team
strength. Tennessee has been outrebounded
in its last two games by a combined 20
boards. The Lady Vols had a plus-16 rebound
margin before their last two games
POLL IMPLICATIONS
Stanford moved up three spots to No. 8
and leapfrogged Tennessee after its victory
over Baylor. The Cardinal’s victory justified
that move. Tennessee could drop out of the
top 10 next week.
coverage this Wednesday — two hours on
ESPN2 and three on ESPNU.
There could be a little more suspense with
this early signing period, as Rivals director
of recruiting Mike Farrell said more high-
level recruits entered December undecided
than at this time a year ago. Seven of Rivals’
top 14 senior prospects remain uncommitted.
There’s also a new wrinkle. Barton
Simmons, the 247Sports director of scout-
ing, said some players plan to sign this week
but want to keep their decisions secret until
they announce their plans at upcoming high
school all-star games.
“We’ll see if that’s feasible for them,
whether they can keep it quiet or if it’s going
to leak,” Simmons said.

ECONOMY
Continued from page 1
United States and China and a broader glob-
al slowdown.
So is a U.S. recession imminent?
Not necessarily.
Plenty of economic gauges suggest that
far from being derailed by a stock market
that’s set to suffer its first annual loss in a
decade, the $20 trillion U.S. economy is
barreling forward. Employers are hiring,
consumers are spending ahead of the holi-
days and economic growth has been brisk,
thanks in part to President Donald Trump’s
deficit-financed tax cuts.
But the economy has been growing since
mid-2009 and nothing — not even what’s
become the second-longest U.S. expansion
on record — lasts forever. As the expansion
has aged, economists and business leaders
are increasingly predicting that it will end
within the next two years.
The fact is that recessions are a regular
part of the economic cycle. A downturn
won’t necessarily happen in 2019. But the
free-fall in stock prices could hasten the
day.
“While we aren’t explicitly forecasting a
recession next year, we wouldn’t rule out a
mild one,” said John Higgins, chief markets
economist of Capital Economics. “At the
least, we expect a significant economic
slowdown.”

NATION
surveyed by Duke University’s Fuqua
School of Business foresee a recession by
the end of next year. And by the end of
2020, 82 percent do so.
Here’s a look at how the movements of
the stock market and the barometers of the
economy might determine the risks of a
recession.
DOES A SUSTAINED FALL IN STOCK
PRICES HERALD A RECESSION?
Sometimes. Not always.
Both the previous two U.S. recessions
overlapped with stock market sell-offs. The
Dow Jones Industrial Average plunged near-
ly 32 percent in 2008 after the housing bub-
ble burst. And it shed more than 5 percent in
2001 when the tech stock bubble burst. But
stocks also declined in 2002 — a year when
the U.S. economy expanded.
The fact is that the stock market captures
just a piece of the broader U.S. economy.
Less than half of U.S. households even own
any stock, according to New York
University economist Edward Wolff. And
more than 80 percent of the stock market’s
value is controlled by the richest 10 percent
of households, according to his calcula-
tions.
The bulk of most Americans’ net worth is
derived from a different asset: Their homes.
HOW BAD IS THE
STOCK MARKET DECLINE?
It’s painful. But Wall Street has endured far
worse sell-offs.
Rain or Shine
Year-to-date, the Dow has lost about 5
percent — just a small fraction of its 2008
plunge. And the recent losses follow an
extraordinary winning streak: From its bot-
tom in March 2009, the Dow has rocketed
250 percent. This means that investors who
have held on have earned a rich profit —
even including the losses since October.
That said, the sell-off of the past two
months has been severe — about 12 per-
cent. This means the market has entered
“correction” territory, commonly defined as
a decline of at least 10 percent.
WHAT’S BEHIND
THE ECONOMY’S STRENGTH?
Look to the job market. The 3.7 percent
unemployment rate is near a half-century
low. Average hourly wages have climbed 3.1
percent in the past 12 months, the
strongest such increase since 2009.
The solid employment picture has helped
fuel consumer spending. Retail sales have
grown 5.3 percent so far this year as more
Americans have eaten out and shopped
online, according to the Census Bureau.
The jobs market is also where to watch for
signs of a recession. Ahead of the 2008
financial crisis, the monthly hiring levels
swung from gains to losses and unemploy-
ment shot up. The Labor Department issues
a weekly report on people applying for
unemployment benefits. A sustained
increase in such applications would signal
that employers are shedding workers in
anticipation of a downturn.
DOES THE HOUSING
MARKET POINT TO A RECESSION?
This is tricky. By some measures, like the
Census Bureau’s report on home construc-
tion, the housing market never really recov-
ered from the meltdown of a decade ago. As a
result, housing has contributed relatively
little to the economic recovery, which
makes it less likely to be a major force that
tips it into a recession.
What has generally recovered are average
home prices. Home sales prices have been
steadily rising faster than Americans’ aver-
age wages for the past few years, according
to the National Association of Realtors.
This made some homeowners wealthier. But
it also reduced affordability of homes for
many would-be buyers.
Until this past year, homebuyers had been
helped by historically low mortgage rates.
But mortgage rates began to creep up last
THE DAILY JOURNAL
year as it became clear that Trump’s tax cuts
would swell the federal budget deficit.
Mortgage rates generally move in sync with
10-year Treasury notes. As the average 30-
year mortgage rate has risen 4.63 percent
from 3.93 percent a year ago, sales of
homes have fallen.
ARE THE FED’S RATE
HIKES A RISK FOR RECESSION?
The Federal Reserve has become a punch-
ing bag for Trump as the stock market has
tumbled. The Fed is widely expected to raise
its key short-term rate for the fourth time
this year on Wednesday, which would likely
further raise borrowing costs for consumers
and businesses over time.
The Fed is raising rates to try to keep
inflation at its 2 percent annual target while
maximizing employment. But if it miscal-
culates and raises rates too high or too fast,
history suggests it could trigger a reces-
sion.
Compounding the risk is that the Fed is
also paring the huge bond purchases on its
books, which resulted from the trillions in
Treasury and mortgage bonds it bought to
help the financial system recover from the
2008 financial crisis. Doing so magnifies
the upward pressure on borrowing rates for
consumers and businesses.
COULD RESOLVING A TRADE WAR
WITH CHINA STOP A RECESSION?
Trump caused stocks to buckle when he
ratcheted up taxes on Chinese imports in
hopes of forcing Beijing to strike a deal
that would protect U.S. technology from
theft and reduce the trade deficit with China.
Stocks recovered somewhat when further
tariff increases were suspended after Trump
met with President Xi Jinping earlier this
month at an international gathering in
Argentina.
A prolonged trade war could surely depress
growth. But it’s unclear whether any new
deal would speed growth to the point where
a recession could be avoided.
The fact is that economic growth around
the world is slowing, including in the
United States as the benefits from the tax
cuts wane. Britain is struggling to leave the
European Union. France faces economic
unrest. Italy appears to be in recession.
China is trying to engineer slower growth
after a multi-decade boom that would be
destabilizing if it had maintained its once-
sizzling pace.

one might find in nature but also the
struggles of the artists behind the
pieces.
In his 16 years as a tattoo artist,
Chaboya has traveled across the world
to share his art, finding himself in
Cape Town, London, Paris and
Portland, among many other cities. In
his travels, he’s been drawn to people
with obsessions and passions they just
can’t shake. Whether he meets an
architect interested in laser cutting
wood to create intricate earrings and
pendants or a designer who creates
stained glass wall adornments and jew-
elry made with natural elements like
feathers and snakeskin, Chaboya said
he feels a responsibility to draw others
into the art that inspires him during his
travels.
“I love meeting people who obsess
over things,” he said. “If they obsess
enough over something … they just
gotta do it, it’s like breathing to them
… those people they’re to me what
life’s about.”
Chaboya said he first felt a responsi-
bility to ensure his work is inspiring
other artists while watching a man
paint a canal scene on a bridge in
Amsterdam some four years ago.
Initially drawn to watching the artist’s
technique and process, Chaboya said he
soon became fascinated by the passers-
by who joined him in watching the

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.

THE DAILY JOURNAL
TASER
Continued from page 1
Redwood City police departments. On Jan.
16, 34-year-old Warren Ragudo died after a
struggle with three police officers in Daly
City and an Aug. 13 attempt by four
Redwood City police officers to subdue
Ramzi Saad resulted in the 55-year-old
man’s death. District Attorney Steve
Wagstaffe determined the filing of criminal
charges against the officers involved in
both the Daly City and Redwood City inci-
dents was not warranted after he found they
acted in accordance with the law.
In holding a public meeting to discuss
Taser use among law enforcement officials,
Pine hoped the effort could help answer
questions about Tasers’ benefits and limita-
tions, the kinds of Taser policies other
jurisdictions have adopted, what kind of
training is needed for the devices and how
often they are used during mental health
crises. Though he acknowledged Sheriff
Carlos Bolanos has the authority to decide
whether sheriff’s deputies should be able to
use Tasers and to set policies, Pine said he
thought a public discussion would give offi-
cials and the public a chance to weigh in on
the topic.
“In light of the fact those all have
occurred in this calendar year, I think it
would be helpful to just talk about Tasers
and how they’re used and address those ques-
LOCAL
tions,” he said, according to a video of the
meeting. “We can share our opinions with
the sheriff and provide the public with an
opportunity to share their opinions.”
Several community members who attend-
ed supervisors’ Tuesday meeting called on
officials to do more in the wake of Okobi’s
death, urging them to release the video
footage of the five deputies’ encounter with
Okobi and suspend them while Wagstaffe
investigates the matter.
Though Wagstaffe initially estimated a
report detailing the investigation and iden-
tifying whether the deputies involved will
face charges will take some 10 weeks, his
decision to hire an independent expert from
outside the county to weigh in on the inves-
tigation is expected to delay the report’s
release until mid-January or mid-February.
Wagstaffe has maintained he will release the
videos, police and coroner’s reports and any
other information related to the case once
the investigation is complete.
The Rev. Ben Meyers of the Unitarian
Universalists of San Mateo said he could
not understand why officers involved in the
death of a citizen were allowed to come back
to work while the investigation is ongoing
in light of Wagstaffe’s decision not to
release the video footage of the incident
until it is complete, noting the footage
could dispel
public mis-
trust and
show what
really hap-
pened that
day. Pine said at the board’s Dec. 4 meeting
that the deputies involved in the incident
are not currently on patrol and are instead
assisting with the transport of inmates
between jail and the courts.
Meyers added he would like to know how
many hours law enforcement officers spend
in training to de-escalate situations com-
pared to the amount of time they spend at
the shooting range training to use weapons.
“I think that if we can create a gap where
our officers are being empowered to learn
these skills of de-escalation, we will see
fewer acts of violence against our communi-
ty and we will all feel safer,” he said.
For resident Martin Fox, whether enough
resources are dedicated to those facing men-
tal health crises in the county was a con-
cern. Fox said the three deaths involving
Tasers as well as the Dec. 10 death of
Redwood City resident Kyle Hart, who
allegedly attempted suicide before struggle
with responding police officers proved
fatal, were evidence of the need to bolster
the county’s mental health system.
In response to Fox, Supervisor Don
Horsley noted officials have taken steps to
boost mental health resources in recent
years, including crisis intervention train-
ing for law enforcement officers and a new
psychiatric emergency services team. There
Wednesday • Dec 19, 2018 27
is also a facility residents in crisis spend a
few nights in and receive treatment and a
variety of partnerships aimed at addressing
those facing mental health crises.
But Horsley also acknowledged an effort
to discuss Tasers and their use with the pub-
lic may bring to light even more officials
could do to prevent future deaths.
“We may well come up with some addi-
tional things that we can do for mentally ill
folks,” he said. “Maybe these public meet-
ings will give us some ideas about some-
thing else that we can do to avoid tragedies
in the future.”
In other business, county officials also
approved a tentative agreement with the
Service Employees International Union for
a three-year term beginning Oct. 7. Included
among the terms were 3 percent increases in
the first two years to account for cost of liv-
ing adjustments and a 2 percent to 3 percent
increase in the third year depending on the
consumer price index. SEIU employees will
also receive equity increases of 1 percent
simultaneously with the yearly increases as
well as longevity pay after the completion
of the equivalent of five years. The total
cost of all the salary changes is expected to
result in a net increase of $37.2 million
over the three-year term, according to a staff
report.
