Death notices

State bills would limit access to officer body camera videos IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — State legislators are pushing to make it much harder to release police officer body camera videos, undermining their promise as a tool people can use to hold law enforcement accountable. Lawmakers in at least 15 states have introduced bills to exempt video recordings of police

cords laws, or to limit what can be made public. Their stated motive: preserving the privacy of people being videotaped, and saving considerable time and money that would need to be spent on public information requests as the technology quickly becomes more widely used. Advocates for open government and civil rightsarealarmed. Police departments nationwide are already spending millions to outfit officers with cameras and archive the results. In this latest clash between the people's right to know and government authority, the responsibility to

record controversial encounters, retain copies and decide what to make public mostly rests with the same police. Absent public records protections, these police decisions can be unilateral and final in many cases. "It undercuts the whole purpose of the cameras," said Michelle Richardson, public policy director of the American Civil Liberties Union of Florida. "People behave better on film, whether it's the police or the suspect, because they realize others are going to see them. When you take away that possible consequence, you really undercut the oversight value of these." Supporters say the privacy rights of crime victims and witnesses need protecting, and that police need to limit the broad and costly public records requests they're getting. Routinely releasing these videos will deter people from calling for help and cooperating with police, they say.

oveInarnee S Oen eaI. a r a eS We should all be thankful fate rarely puts people as evil as Albert Sidney Ward Jr. on the earth, and that a system oflaw developed over centuries creates mechanisms to keep people like him off the streets. Or at least it's supposed to. W ard, a convicted murderer and a rapist, who repeatedlyvictimized a 13-year-old Sonora girl in the early 1980s, in coming weeks (date not yet set) will have a parole hearing that was never supposed to happen. This hearing is yet another mind-blowing permutation of the state's effort to reduce prison populations by releasing convicted criminals early. The best known aspect of this is 2011's Assembly Bill 109, which allowed the wholesale release of supposedly non-dangerous felons, putting them in the custody of under-equipped counties. We saw something similar to the Ward case late last month when the State Parole Board announced aSonora man who attempted to killa fast-food restaurant worker during a 1980 robbery (shooting her in the face and leaving her for dead in a freezer) would also be eligible for parole. Chalen Selvian, now 42, was sentenced 17-years-to-life in prison and had been denied parole five times. The sixth was a charm. He's benefited from state policy implemented by the governorthat grants people convicted of seriouscrimes before the age of 18 to be paroledafter serving 15yearsoftheirsentences. The governor must decide whether to approve his release in the next four months. Back to Ward. The now-70-year-old prisoner, serving time at a prison in San Diego, has a criminal history stretching back at least to 1975. That year, he was convicted of brutally murdering an 86-year-old West Los Angeles woman.

After being released &om jail upon his 1982 acquittal, Ward began carrymg out the crimes that landed him in again in prison: a series of sex assaults between 1982 (on the night before Christmas, just days after his release from Stanislaus County Jail) and the spring of 1984 involving his 13-year-old stepdaughter. He coerced the girl into having sex with him multiple times over those two years by threatening to kill the girl's mother if she didn't comply. A martial arts instructor with at least one murder under his belt, jurors concluded the sexassaultswereindeed coerced and therefore constitutedrape. (An aside: According to court records, the victim said he'd told her that he killed the man in Modesto). A jury convicted Ward of 18 counts of molestation and rape.

confident justice had been served. "The child has been vindicated," he told The Union Democrat.

But morality is a movable feast.

Audit blastsagency failed tech projects SACRAMENTO — An auditofCalifornia's state technologydepartment released Thursday found the agency's failure in creating new computer systems is caused in part by poor oversight. The report by State Auditor Elaine Howle found the agency lacks guidance for stopping or fixing troubled projects, many o f w h i ch come in over budget and past deadlines,and suffers a high turnover of staff that hinders its work. Howle recommended a strongerrole forstepping in when projects go over budget or pastdeadlines, the Los Angeles Times reported.

Gunmen trained in Libya before attack TUNIS, Tunisia — The two extremist gunmen who killed 21 people at a museum in Tunis trained in neighboring Libya before carrying out the deadly attack, a top Tunisian security official said. Wednesday's attack at the National Bardo M u seum killed 21 people — 17 of them cruise ship tourists — before the two gunmen were killed in a firefight with security forces. The attack of such magnitude in Tunisia — the only country to emerge &om the 2011 Arab Spring uprisings with a functioning democracy — raised concerns about the spread of extremism to the rest of North Africa. Rafik Chelli, the Interior Ministry's top security official, saidthe attackers had slipped out of Tunisia in December and received weapons training in Libya before returning home.

Cowden was born Oct. 11, 1929, in San Jose to Robert and Vernace Cowden. He moved to Sonora when he was 5, after his father was hired to be principal of Sonora Grammar School at the Sonora Dome. Cowden attended Sonora Grammar School, then Sonora High School. He was a multisport athlete and was awarded the Fred Rowe Memorial trophy his senior year as the school's outstanding male athlete. He graduated in 1947. Cowden enjoyed hunting and fishing and, as a teenager,spent a great deal of time learning the trails and streams in th e E migrant Wilderness, said son-in-law Chace Anderson, of Sonora. He took great pleasure in introducing those same streams and trails to his sons, daughters, and grandchildren, Anderson said. Cowden later enjoyed spending time at a cabin he built in Eagle Meadows with family and &iends. In 1948, Cowden married his high school sweetheart, Lavergne "Vernie" Lavagnino, and they had five children Denny Cowden, Dave Cowden, Debbie Neumann, Dory Anderson and Dick Cowden.

But the l a rgest homeless demographic is single adults, said Jerry Cadotte, who compiles the data as chairman of t h e C entral Sierra Continuum of Care, which reports the local statistics to the HUD.

McClintock said. Also Tuesday, the State Water Board re-adopted an emergency regulation that allows collection of water rights information. Board officials believe water rights information is essential to managing California's limited water supplies. "Knowing how much water is legally diverted by all water-right holders is the most important piece of information needed in accurately determining which water rights must be curtailed and by when," State Water Boardstaffsaid. Both re-adopted regulations must be reviewed a nd approved by t h e state's Office of Administrative Law. Contact Guy McCarthy

The event will benefit the local Delta Kappa Gamma family l i t eracy p rogram, and is the senior exit project of student Julia Jensen, 17, of Sonora. The event will benefit the "Read to Me" literacy program. Jensen said she chose to organizethis fundraiser becauseofher love ofreading, and her findings when she wrote her senior term paper on early childhood literacy. In her research, Jensen found that support and encouragement for early exposure toliteracy isim portant because ofhow influential it can be toa child's development andfuture. "Placinga book in a family's hands to share with a baby can lead to a lifetime of reading," she said. "Each child should receive the help and reassurance they require in order to learnto the best of their abilities," Jensen said.

The display will installed on April 23, and Victoria Smith and Davies hope to be there when the work is being done. "We're really e x cited about being a part ofit," Sandra Smith said. "It's going tobe very cute," said Lisa Mayo, executive director of the Tuolumne County Visitors Bureau. Fourth-grade classrooms tour the windows for California history, "so a lot of kids and parents will look at it," Mayo said. "Maybe they will come visit." The bear will be threedimensional and will have a basket containing products made in Tuolumne County, in addition to juggling new and old photos. The Tuolumne County Historical Society is providing digital copies of historic photos for adigital photo album to be part of the display, said Anna Davies, specialprojects coordinator for the bureau. The nice part about using a digital photo album is that the photos can easily be switched out or added to, Davies said. The bureau is hoping the project will be taken over by another community group in futureyears,maybe even 4-H, where another member like Smith could take the projecton,Davies said. Sierra Pacific Industries is donating the wood products that will be used in the display, Davies said. The Tuolumne County Historical Society and several local businesseshave alsodonated time

The name "Black Hats" was chosen because so many celebrities spent much of their careers playing villains and wearing black hats. The name showed that "guys that have black hats can be good, too," explained member Barbara Martin, of Sonora.

Armstrong meets with USADA AUSTIN, Texas (AP)Lance Armstrong talked last week with the head of the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency in hopes of potentially reducing his lifetime ban from the sports he loves, The Associated Press has learned. Armstrong andTravis Tygart met for six hours, according to a person with knowledge of the meeting who spoke on condition of anonymity because the discussion was meant to remain private. The meeting was first reported byThe New YorkTimes. The meeting was the first between Armstrong andTygart since late 2012.The two have publicly sparred since the agency's investigation into doping by Armstrong and his U.S. Postal Service team led to Armstrong's ban and his being stripped of his seven Tour de France titles. Tygart has said that despite Armstrong's public confessions to performance-enhancing drugs use, he had to meet with USADA to have any chance of reducing his ban, which also covers sanctioned triathlons, marathons and other sports Armstrong enjoys.

Developer AEG had spent five years and at least $50 million on the project, but the company said last week that it would focus on other downtown projects. The apparent demise of the development was "overreported Garcetti told KNX Radio during a regular "Ask the Mayor" segment. He said environmental work is complete and a downtown plan is ready, should someone want to take the city up on it. After AEG's decision, there are two clear contenders for the NFL's return to the area for the first time in two decades — both in cities just outside Los Angeles. A stadium in Inglewood proposed in January has the backing of St. Louis Rams owner Stan Kroenke.

"He was my quarterback when I coached the JV in 2013 and I run a pretty wide-open offense that requires a lot from my quarterback and he ran it pretty well there. I ran the same conceptslast season and I'll be running a similar concept this year. He runs the offense very well." One of the reasons why Kester was a good fit for the position,according to Bret Harteathletic director Heath Lane, is that the offense will remain much of the same. Kester's offensive scheme has also been implemented at the Angels Camp-Murphys-Arnold youth levels, so the progression from Byrnes

Out of all the candidates we interviewed, he had a longterm vision instead of short term. He was someone we thought would want to be here for the long haul. He had a plan and he wants to get us going in a positive direction."

Under Kester's playcalling last season, the Bullfrogs rushed for over 2,200 yards. "He's a very good strategist," Lane said. "He's somebody who brings a lot of knowledge.

BRIEFS 2022 WCQatar final to be on Dec. i8 ZURICH (AP) — The final of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar will be on Dec. 18, the country's national holiday. F IFA c onfirmed o n Thursday the date of the world's most w a tched sports event more than four years after it controversially chose the tiny Gulf emirate as host.

Finally, Qatar got its reward for enduring an investigation into alleged corruption in the bidding process, and a European-led furor overmoving theWorld Cup &om its traditional JuneJuly period. In more than seven years, on Dlx:. 18 — which Qataris recognize as their nation's founding day in 1878 — the yet-&be-built Lusail Stadium near Doha will stage the World Cup final. A 28-day tournament kicking off on Monday, Nov. 21, would see the 64 matches played in four fewer days than usual.

QB Colt McCoy re-signs with Redskins WASHINGTON (AP)The Washington Redskins have re-signed &ee-agent quarterback Colt McCoy, who started four games for the team last season.

Terms of the deal were not disciosed. McCoy, 28, appeared in five games overall in his first season with the Redskins, completing 91 of 128 passes (71.7 percent) for 1,057 yards, with four touchdown passes, three interceptions and a teamhigh passer rating of 96.4. The McCoy s i gning means, at least for now, the trioof quarterbacks who started games for last year's 4-12 club will return, including 2012 first-round drak pick Robert GrifBn III and Kirk Cousins. Head coach Jay Gruden said last month during the NFL scouting combine that Griffm would enter the season as the starter.

(AP) — The Michigan High School Athletic Association wiH give concussion testing kits to some football teams next fall as part of a pilot program aimed atimproving playersafety. The association launched new rulesfor footballpractices in 2014 that sought to reduce head trauma by restricting the length of practices and limiting the number of days where socalled collision practices take place where contact in pads takes place. The next step is having concussion testing kits on the sidelines, MHSAA Executive Director Jack Roberts told WOOD-TV. Players could read numbers off cards or an iPad, for example, and their times would be recorded during the preseason,after possible head injuries and after the season.

Longer reading times could indicate a possible problem. The association likely would give schools the option to use different tests, Roberts said. The MHSAA plans to start the pilot program in the fall, but it hasn't yet decided which schools will receive the kits first. Concussions are brain in-

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Bryce Alford's final jumper appeared offline when he let it fly from behind the 3-point arc, and all the UCLA guard could do was helplessly watch the battlefor the rebound. SMU center Yanick Moreira was in

position and seemed to time his leap perfectly as he went up to touch it. The officials, however, thought he was a bit too quick and called goaltending, awarding Alford what turned out to be the game-winning basket with 13 secondsleft — one that's sure to be among the most debated of this NCAA

Tournament.

Alford had no doubt it was goaltending. "I hada pretty good look at it because I shot it," Alford said after the 11th-seeded Bruins' 60-59 South Regional victory over sixth-seeded SMU on Thursday.From my angle,I saw Kevon (Looney) and another player going after it, and I was confused because he went up and grabbed it on its way to the rim. "I don't know if it would have gone in or not, but he definitely grabbed it on the way." Officials went to the monitor to de-

termine it was a 3 and were resolute in their call, telling a pool reporter that the goaltending call wasn't reviewable. SMU coach Larry Brown couldn't believe it. "We gavethe rule number and the article," official Sean Hull said in citing Rule9.3a 1 and 2."Under 2 minutes byrule,we have a directive to do that. At the table it was confirmed that it was a 3, and we put the ball back in play." Said Moreira, "I think I hit the rim first. I hit the net or the rim. That's how it kind of goes." In a TV interview later, NCAA men's basketball officiating coordinator John Adams said: "I've looked at it as many times as you, I'll tell you this: I don't know how you'd know if it had hit the rim, that it wouldn't have

he's better than Dad." UCLA, meanwhile, offered another examplethatit'sbetterthan itsrecord. The Bruins, the team many felt didn't even belong in the field of 68, advanced to Saturday's round of 32 against No. 14 UAB, an upset winner over third-seeded Iowa State. However, the ending of this game had tobe seen to bebelieved. Before Alford's heroics, SMU's Moore seemed destined to hold that distinction after t hree 3-pointers keyed a 19-0 run over 6 V2 minutes to put the Mustangs up by nine. UCLA's leading scorer Norman Powell, who had 19 points, broke the run witha layup and added two free throws that were sandwiched between a series of Alford's shots &om behind the arc as he finished 9 of 11 there and 9 of 13 overall. The Bruins' win was a fitting answer for critics of UCLA's record and tournament worthiness. "It was big motivation," said Looney, who had six points and 10 rebounds. "Everybody doubted us. They said we should not be here.... We wanted to provethat we are a good team and that we deserve (to be here)." SMU's first tournament appearance since 1993 meanwhile ended with some players walking around in disbeliefand others pounding the court in &ustration and disappointment. The loss also spoiled Hall of Famer Brown'sfirst college postseason since

27-point performance that came on nine 3-pointers including four in the final 3:40. He certainly did his father and UCLA coach Steve Alford proud being a former sharpshooter himself. "He leads us in assists. He runs the team forus,"the elder Alford said, "and in a game like this, where it was so physical and, I thought, two teams that really fought defensively, he had to make some shots. "He's always being compared, obviously, because I played the game.... I've said it over the last two years now,

bounced up and somehow worked its a

way in.

As replay showed the ball's trajectory, Adams added, "Again it looks a little bit off to the right, it's touched.... We're now at the hypothetical once the ball is touched, in my opinion." SMU (27-7) still had two shots to win in the final seconds, but Nic Moore, who scored 24 points, missed a 3-pointer and then a 2-point attempt, sending the Bruins (21-13) into a wild celebration. For Alford, it capped an amazing

leading Kansas to the 1998 title. That it came against a UCLA program he coached to the 1980 championship game before the Bruins lost to Louisville was even more ironic.

Andin the end, even harder to digest. "It might have been goaltending," Brown said. "It probably was. But we've got all these (TV) cameras. It happened so fast. "But, again, give UCLA credit. Steve's son was tremendous, and they did a lot of good things when it really mattered."

Hoffman learns grandmother dies, then takes lead ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Morgan Hoffmann's day began with news that his 97-year-old grandmother died Thursday morning. It ended with his first lead on the PGA Tour. Hoflman began his round with a 85-foot birdie putt on No. 10 and finished it with a 9-iron that touched the hole before stopping inches away for birdie. He also holed a bunker shot for eagle on the par-5 sixth, leading to a 6-under 66 and a oneshot lead in the Arnold Palmer Invitational. It all was a lot to chew on for the 25-year-old Hoffmann, who cooks his own meals to eat on the golf course (bison steak was for lunch Thursday). "Mentally, I'm in kind of a weird state right now," he said. "My grandma passed away this morning, so I'm just pretty chilled out there and loving life right now. Just wish my family the best at home. My whole family texted me and said, 'Nanny

is playing golf with pop up there,' which was pretty cool." Hoffmann hopes to attend a memorial service for Dorothy Lionetti in Ft. Lauderdale on Saturday night. It should be a short trip considering Hoffmann pilots his own plane that he recently bought f'rom his buddy David Booth, who plays left wing for the Toronto Maple Leafs. He was inspired to be a pilot after meeting with the tournament host duringthe Palmer Cup in 2009. Hoffman, clearly, is not the garden variety PGA Tour player. uI have a lot of stuff you guys didn't ask," he said with a perfect smile. Not tobe forgotten was his golf. He had a one-shotlead over fi ve players, including Ian Poulter and Kevin Na. The group at 68 included Adam Scott, Henrik Stenson and Brandt Snedeker. Poulter, who made an eagle from just off the 16th green, had his own distraction. His 8-year-old son was

taken to the hospital Wednesday night with a low oxygen level and pneumonia. It was a long night, with a bit of a scare, but Joshua was doing better Thursday morning. "I supposeit was a blessing, last tee time off," said Poulter, who was in the affernoon group of starters. Rory Mcllroy hit 17 greens in regulation in his Bay Hill debut and one-putted only two greens, including a 15-foot birdie on the 18th for a 70. McIlroy two-putted from 18 feet for birdie on No. 6, and his lone bogey came with an approach into the water on the par-5 16th. He twirled the club when he saw the splash, though it stayed in his hands. In his third American event this year, the world's No. 1 player still hasn't broken 70. But he's getting there. "Seeing signs of my game that I like," McIlroy said. "Another three days of hopefully solid golf and try and get into contention, and that

THE UNION DEMOCRAT

301 Employment

WEATHER WATCHERS NEEDED The Union Democrat has a dedicated team of volunteer weather watchers who keep track of high-low temperatures and precipitation. They call the newspaper with fresh numbers early every morning for that day's weather page, on the back of the sports section. The only pay is an annual gathering - sometimes a picnic hosted by the newspaper, sometimes dinner at an area restaurant - where they are honored and thanked. Necessary equipment, which the volunteers must provide themselves, are a thermometer that records the high and low temperatures of the day and a rain gauge. They must also submit snow depths and melt snow, when they get it, to include its water content with their precipitation. Volunteers are needed right now in, Tuolumne, Pinecrest and San Andreas. Anyone interested in becoming a volunteer may call Pam Orebaugh 588-4546 or e-mail orebau h@uniondemocrat.com

Unconventional marriage request disturbing Annie's

I Mailbox I'm crazy to still be with him. He says if I love him it won't matter and that it is only a one-time thing. Pete says this is"nonnegotiable." I don't want anything to do with it, but if I marry Pete, all of our friends will think I slept with his son, even if I haven't. If I'd known thisbeforewegotengaged,Ineverwould haveagreedto marry him. Iam in good health and do not need him fmancially. What do I do? —UPSET IN N.Y.C. DEAR UPSET: Leave. Now. The reason various religions expect marriages tobe consummated is to produce children.You are not going to do that, so Pete's request is completely unreasonable. If he wants hisson to have a sexual experience, he can hire a professional. But you ought to get away from this nuttiness while you still can. We guarantee it won't be the

lastcrazy demand he makes. D EAR ~ : I k no wt here are freeand low-costoptionsforpeoplewho need counseling for depression. Do you know of any such resources for couples who could use a marriage tune-up but don't have much money? —DAISY DEAR DAISY: First check with your local YMCA or YWCA, as well as university counseling centers and your place of worship. Your county, state or city is likely to offer free or low-cost family counseling, which usually includes marriage counseling, and you may be eligible for thoseservices.You also can look online to see whether there are community counseling centers in your area Worldwide Marriage Encounter (wwme.org) for Catholic couples is free, and there are other MarriageEncounter programs that are not faith-based and often operate on a small donation. Every marriage could use a "tune-up" now and then. Good luck DEARANNIE:As the wife of a prostate cancer survivor, I want to expand

on your answer to"Missing It." Prostate

cancerisacouple'sdiseasebecauseitaffectsthe sexual relationship.Here are my ideas to improve the situation: Buy pads instead of diapers. (They are available for men, but women's pads will work, too.) A guy feels more like a guy in his own underwear. He should do Kegel exercises. Join a gym and work outtogether.Exercise is a mood elevator, and strong core muscles help with incontinence.

Find a prostate cancer support group and attend as a couple. Shower together since it won't matter if he leaks in the shower, and soapy rubdowns can lead to other things. Research penile pumps, injections, implants and medications to relieve ED. Be creative in the bedroom. And finally, if your doctor is not supportive, find another.— Love My Husband Annie'8 Mailbox is written by Kathy

a brain scan. Do you think this is a normal course of action? I'm not sure if I really want this done. I keep thinking that eventually these symptoms will go away, and I guessI' m afraid ofwhatthe diagnosis will be.— L.K ANSWER: A concussion is a type of brain injury due to trauma. The term "concussion" usually implies relatively mild brain injury, and most cases will eventuall y getbetter,butthere can be significant symptoms, and they can last for weeks or months after the brain injury, broadlyreferredtoas"post-concussion syndrome." Not everybodywith head trauma requires a CT or MRI scan. However, thereare some possible serious com-

DEAR ANNIE: I am a 54-year-old widow living in a large and active retirement community. I am engaged to "Pete,"a 64-year-old man whom I've beenseeingforayear.W egetalongvery well and have many common interests. Pete has a 20-year-old mentally challenged son living with him, and we also get along fine. (My grown children live in another state.) Pete's son would live with us after we marry, and I am OK with that. We've set a date and even had an engagementparty.Now everything is turning into a nightmare. Pete and I have had some heavy make-out sessions, but we have never had sex. He now tells me he cannot"perform." It doesn't really matter to me, but he's turning it into a huge problem. He saysthatin orderto really bem arried, according to his religion, it has to be consummated, and that because he isn't capable of doing so, his son should be his stand-in. Pete would be there to make sure everything was completed. I was shocked to say the least. He has told a number ofour friends about this,and they think he's crazy. They also think

plications after head trauma, including a subdural hematoma, a type of bleeding into the head, below the meninges (lining of the brain) and the brain itself. Given your symptoms, I absolutely agree with your neurologist that a scan is indicated. I understand that you are afraid of the diagnosis, but you should remember that treatment is almost always better sooner than later. DEAR DR. ROACH:I am a 62-yearold male, and I havebeenheavy for most of my life. Over the past 18 months, I havelostagreatdealofweightandfeel better than I have in years. My issue is where the excess has ended up: just below my belt-line. I know that so-called spot reducing doesn't work, so I'm at a

lossastohow togoaboutgetting rid of this paunch. It's not above my belt, and it is stubborn. Any ideas? —T.C. ANSWER: If you keep losing weight, oddsare that stubborn fatwillgradually go away. High-intensity aerobic exercise did seem to help in one study. I have had patients undergo liposuction, but that helps your appearance, not your overall health. DEAR DR. ROACH:I take Xarelto, which is a blood thinner. My doctor says it is OK to also take a baby aspirin (81 milligrams). Do you agree? —D.C. ANSWER: Rivaroxaban (Xarelto) is one ofa new class ofanticoagulants (medicati ons that reduce the blood's ability to clot). Like warfarin (Coumadin), these new drugs affect the clotting factors,produced mostly in the liver. Theseareneededtoform a dense,stable clot. Xarelto is used for people with atrial fibrillation (with normal heart valves), and toprevent or treatdeep vein blood clots and blood clots in the lungs. Aspirin also is an anticoagulant, but

it works on the platelets, the circulating blood cells that begin a blood clot. Aspirin is used for many conditions, especial-

ly topreventaheartattack in peopleat moderate to high risk. Aspirin appears to be most effective when taken at night. Since many people have reasons to take both these medicines, they often areprescribed together.Allanticoagulants increase risk of bleeding. Combined use does increase bleeding risk beyond either separately. Although Xarelto has a similar bleeding risk to warfarin (lower in some studies), if bleeding occurs there is no generally acceptedor safeway tostop it.Therefore, Xarelto, and especially the combination of Xarelto and aspirin, should be reserved for people in whom benefits clearly outweigh risks.

Todayin hisfory Today is Friday, March 20, the 79th day of 2015. There are 286 days left in the year. Spring arrives at 6:45 p.m. EDT. Today's Highlight in History: On March 20, 1995, in Tokyo, 12 people were killed, more than 5,500 others sickened when packages containing the deadly chemical sarin were leaked on five separate subway trains by Aum Shinrikyo (ohm shin-ree-kyoh) cult members. On this date: In 1852, Harriet Beecher Stowe's influential novel about slavery, "Uncle Tom's Cabin," was first published in book form after being serialized. In 1899, Martha M. Place of Brooklyn, New York, became the first woman to be executed in the electric chair as she was put to death at Sing Sing for the murder of her stepdaughter. In 1952, the U.S. Senate ratified, 66-10, the Treaty of Peace with Ja pa n. In 1969, John Lennon married Yoko Ono in Gibraltar. In 1974, Britain's Princess Anne was the target of a kidnapping attempt near Buckingham Palace;the would-be abductor, lan Ball, was captured. Former NBC News anchorman Chet Huntley, 62, died at his Montana home. In 1985, Libby Riddles of Teller, Alaska, became the first woman to win the Iditarod Trail Dog Sled Race. In 1990, singer Gloria Estefan suffered a broken back when a truck rearended her tour bus on a snow-covered highway in Pennsylvania. (Surgeons implanted titanium rods to stabilize her spine, and Estefan was able to make a comeback after months of intensive physical therapy.)

BiIDG When handcan't win the trick By PHILLIP ALDER

03-20-15 North 4 K?4 7 A K J 10 5 2 10 5 48 3 East

A German proverb goes: When two dogs West fight for a bone, and a third runs off with it, there's a lawyer among the dogs. Yesterday, we looked at third hand high on t Q J4 3 2 defense. When trying to win the trick, third 4 Q J109 hand puts up the bottom of his equally high South cards. For example, from J-10-4, he plays the 4 A Q J 10 9 3 10. But what does third hand do when he cannot win the trick because someone — partner or second hand — has already played a higher 4 K65 card than his best? Look at the East hand in today's deal. West Dealer: South leads the diamond ace against four spades. Vulnerable: East-West Which card should East play? S outh We s t Nor t h Eas t Over South's on e-spade opening, West 14 Pass 2V Pass wanted to act, but had nothing that he could 24 Pass 44 All Pas s do. To make a takeout double with only a doubleton heart would have been asking for trouble. And a two-level overcall requires at least a five-card suit. North was right to jump to four spades. Yes, declarer might have been about to lose the first four tricks, but it might have been laydown. When West leads the diamond ace, East is supposed to signal whether he does or does not hold the queen. And the way to do that here is to follow suit with his queen, the top of touching honors, as he cannot win the trick. The queen shows the queen and the jack (or a singleton queen, which is impossible here). This should give West the key to the best defense. He should lead a low diamond at trick two. East will win with his jack and shift to the club queen, giving the defenders the first four tricks.

You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.

poned one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code.

Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale.
