A descendant of one of the first families associated with guest services in Yosemite said he opposes the National Park Service decision to rename landmarks his forebears helped found, build and oversee for generations. 'There's so much history there," Dave Curry, 57, said in a phone interview. "People worked hard back then, and what this does is diminish all the people who built these places." The Park Service says the name changes are intended to deflate a trademarks legal battle with an outgoing concessioner. Curry, now a resident of Burbank, said he was adopted into the Curry family in the late 1950s and he grew up in Camp Curry through the mid1960s. He isa great-great-grandson of

David A. Curry and Jennie Curry, who opened Camp Curry below Glacier Point in 1899. Curry's great-uncle, Donald Tresidder, built The Ahwahnee and opened it in 1927. uMy dad, John F. Curry, was manager of the Ahwahnee Hotel," Dave Curry said. uHe had to work at all the hotels. Part of the deal with the family was he started at Camp Curry, then the Wawona,then the Lodge and then toThe Ahwahnee.u The Park Service announced Jan.

14 it intends to change the names of buildings and facilities including The Ahwahnee Hotel, Curry Village, Yosemite Lodge, Badger Pass Ski Area and the139-year-old Wawona Hotel. The name changes are the Park Service response to a lawsuit filed by outgoing concessioner DNC Parks & Resorts at Yosemite Inc., claiming the newly selected concessioner, Aramark, owes DNC $51 million for intellectual property that includes landmark names.

Calaveras County officials have revisedtheir estimates severaltimes in the past four months for the number of homes and structures destroyed.On Monday, county public information officer Sharon Torrence said the Butte Fire destroyed 571 homes, 390 outbuildings and five commercial buildings. In addition, the B u tte Fire destroyed $51 million in public infrastructure and resulted in $2.7 million in publicproperty damage, Torrence said. Estimates on the numbers of homes destroyed by the Butte Fire have fluctuated since before the fire was declared 100 percent out cold.

Speaker Paul Ryan's statesmanship may just get the job done. The speed of the news cycle and the media obsession with the presidential horseraces have crowded out a crucial development in the war on ISIS and related Islamic jihadist groups. House Speaker Paul Ryan has to colleagues for

a new Authori-

zationfor Use of Military Force (AUMF). The current AUMF, which was writtenin 2001 and targeted groups connected to 9/11, has not been renewed. Believe it or not. Bravo for Paul Ryan's statesmanship. But a new AUMF must be accompanied by a clear U.S. declaration of war against ISIS. We will never destroy them without a full-blown war declaration. Now, there are important details regarding the AUMF. Ryan is correctly opposed to the Obama White House ISIS strategy, which would bar widespread use of U.S. combat troops in Syria and Iraq and would place limits on the length of military options. Sound familiar? It's Iraq and Afghanistan all over again. The new speaker won' t stand for it. Good for him. The White House wants to forbid "boots on the ground" and wishes to prohibit "enduring offensive ground combat operations." The use of special forces would be allowed, but that would expire afier three years. In other words, Team Obama would tie the hands of the U.S. military and send all the wrong signals to our enemies. But if the Republicans in the House and Senate show some backbone, they can get an AUMF without all the Obama prohibitions. Heaven forbid the Joint Chiefs be able to run a war. This brings me back to the key point. In his pursuit of a new AUMF, Speaker Ryanmust seek a formal U.S. declarationofwar against ISIS.Itisextraordinary that this has yet to be done. It should have happened 15 months ago, or surely after the horrific terrorist events in Paris. I cannot understand why the president has yet to call an emergency NATO meeting to declare war on the Islamic State — which, by the way, has declared war on us. But our president wants no part of that. Remember the Obama re-election-campaign narrative? Terrorism has been defeated and is no longer a problem. So how can you declare war on something that is not a problem? Michael Flynn, recent head of the Defense Intelligence Agency and a retired four-star general, said, "I don't think enough people in our country see ISIS for what it is, and I think part of that is because our leadership has really denied the fact of who this is that we are facing.... I think they failed to tell the truth." The fact is this is the greatest national security problem of our time. Attacks from Europe to California have tragically proved that again and again. So, how can it be that the Washington leadership has not produced a war declaration, which would surely rally the American people? A war declaration adds urgency, energy and immediacy to the war. What's more, a war declaration would be a forcing device, outlining the American strategy with respect to the Islamic State and terrorism in general. What is it we want? How will we know when we get it? How does the war end? How long do we stay? What are our postwar intentions? These are a few of the questions that must be asked and answered so that the American people will know what the American government intends to do. In this way, a

in his cell Sunday night and later pronounced dead. He was serving a 10-year sentence from Tulare County for robbery and transporting drugs. Officials say his cellmate is considered a suspect. The prison houses nearly 4,000 inmates in D elano, north of Bakersfield. Two other inmates died in suspected homicides there in November and December. Denning says there is no reason to believe the three deaths are related. It is the same prison where officials say former NFL running back Lawrence Phillips killed himself this month while he was awaiting a murder trial.

3udge denied request to end sick~ DETROIT (AP) — A judge denied a second attempt by the Detroit Public Schools on Monday to obtain a temporary restraining order against teacher sick-outs that have closed dozens of buildings this month and kept thousands of students home.

State Court o f C l aims Judge Cynthia Stephens said the district didn't present enough evidence to prove the teachers' union or its president had encouraged members to miss work for her to issue such an order. Teacher strikes are illegal under Michigan law. The district filed a lawsuit last week to stop the sick-outs, which on Wednesday closed more than 85 of the district's roughly 100 schoolsthat serve about 46,000 students. Two schools were closed Monday because of teacherabsences, the district said. Teachers are protesting their pay, overcrowded classes, supply shortages and the poor conditions in some school buildings. About 60 demonstrated outside Monday's hearing. The district argued Monday that Detroit Federal of Teachers President Ivy Bailey and the3,700-member union have not done enough to discourage union members from participating in the sick-outs. The union has an obligation to tell its members that' s not a proper or legal way to deal with grievances," lawyer George Butler said.

PARIS (AP) — Europe's top policeagency issued a stark warning Monday: Islamic State extremistswill keep attempting lethal attacks on soft targets in Europe as the militant group increasingly goes global.

P HNOM PE N H , Cambodia (AP) — U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry on Monday dismissed Syrian government claims and opposition complaints as posturing ahead of U.¹led p eace talks that are to begin Friday and last six months. Monday's scheduled start in Geneva has been pushed back to Friday due to disagreements over which groups can represent the opposition. Kerry said that during his short stay in Laos earlier Monday, he had spoken to the U.N. specialenvoy for Syria and the foreign ministers of Russia, Saudi Arabia, France and Turkey. The goal is to reach a consensus on how the talks will be run and a planned cease-fire would proceed. ''We're going to have the meeting and (the t alks) are going t o start,"Kerry told re-

In 1925, the Park Service was looking at declining concessions in Yosemite and decided to grant a monopoly contract to a single entity to

run hotel and food services. Two existing companies, the Curry Company andtheYosemite Park Company, operators of Yosemite Lodge since 1915, merged to create one entity to run all concessions in Yosemite National Park.

without a valid reason or necessity. On Feb. 17, 2015, Sostock appeared sleepy during a scheduled interview wi th MedicalBoard Investigators. She took a urine drug test which was found to be positive for Fetanyl, Hydromorphone, Norfentanyl, Oxymorphone and Clonazepam. In April 2015, Sostock was examined by a Medical Board physician who reported she claimed to have suffered fiom sleep apnea in previous years but that it cleared up. The doctor found she suffered from "episodic naps" which hadn' t been adequately explained or investigated. He concluded that Sostock had a condition that might impact her ability to engage in the practice of medicine and should be monitored more carefully to make sure the public was not harmed. Another Medical Board p hysician examined h e r later that month and found that Sostockwas prescribed opiates and other drugs for her "medical condition and chronic pain." He felt that, although narcotics could potentially impair her practice of medicine, she was capable of it, if under the care of an experience doctor. He also

"Undercover o p eratives (&om Tuolumne County Sheriff' s Office)also observed that (Sostock) was always 'high' but tells her staff that she has diabetic episodes and just needs a sandwich," the Medical Board filing said.

Every year they have tried to be excellent,to give good value to customers, good food, good service. "There are still good people with the Park Service," Dave Curry said. "At the same time, you can't make the hospitality company pay for everything. And $30 is a lot to get in the park when your taxes are already supposed to be paying for it." These days, Curry is a supporter of the Restore Hetch Hetchy group that wants to remove O'Shaughnessy Dam and drain Hetch Hetch Valley in the Tuolumne River watershed that dominates the north half of Yosemite National Park. Changes that could erase his family's name from landmarks going back more than a century disturb him. "It's sad," Curry said. "The more I think about it, the more I think 'Really?'

M ultiple l a w fir m s have filed lawsuits on behalf of Butte Fire victims, blaming PG&E and the utility's contractors for one ofthe worst disasters in Mother Lode history. Relatives of one of the two men who died in the Butte Fire, 82-year-old Owen Goldsmith, have filed a wrongful death suit blaming the companies. The vast majority of property damage and watershed damage caused by the Butte Fire took place in Calaveras County. The $300 million estimate of insured losses

comes fromdata provided by more than a dozen insurance companies that have handled claims in Calaveras and Amador counties, said Nancy Kincaid ofthe state Department of Insurance. According to Cal Fire, the Butte Fire was the seventh-most

des t r u c-

tive blaze in state history. Based on Calaveras County numbers, the total of966 structures destroyed makes the Butte Fire the sixth-most destructive blaze in state history. Tuolumne-Calaveras Unit Chief Josh White was saidto be at training Monday andunavailable to comment. Because

the Butte Fire started in Amador County, the Amador-El Dorado Unit fire prevention bureau is re-

sponsible for investigating and determining the cause of the Butte Fire. No one at the AmadorEl Dorado Unit fire prevention bureau responded Monday t o p h one messages seeking comment. Scott McLean, a public information officer for Cal Fire's North Region, based in Chico, said the cause of the Butte Fire had notbeen determined as ofMonday, and the investigation into the cause of the Butte Fire was still ongoing. There is no time frame

for completing the investigation, McLean said. "We' re being meticulous, eliminating what did not cause the fire," McLean said. "Due to the extent of the fire and the

amount ofdamage due to the fire, we want to make sure we get the final answer. They' re continuous-

ly working on it." The state Department of Insurance estimate of $300 million in insured losses is a n i n c rease from an O ctober estim ate by Aon Benfield, a multinational insurance brokerage based in London, which estimated the Butte Fire caused $225 million in losses covered by insurance by early October.

Bartholomew's fondness for dogfish— a species of shark that East Coast fishermen catch millions of pounds of every year and sell for just pennies at the dock — is part of a growing trend in fish markets around the country. The industry is p utting more emphasis on fish that have Thinkstock

Allium vegetables like onion, garlic and leeks, provide protective compounds that may help fight cardiovasular disease and intestinal cancer.

Allium vegetables provide health benefits, flavor in a bulb By MCKENZIE HALL, RI) JNI. Tribune Content Agency

Allium vegetables — edible bulbs including onions, garlic and leeks — appear in nearly every cuisine around the globe. They are fundamental in classic cooking bases, such as French mirepoix (diced onions, celery and carrots), Latin American sofrito (onions, garlic and tomatoes) and Cajun holy trinity (onions, bell peppers and celery). While we sometimestakethese standbys forgranted, the flavor of allium vegetables cannot be replicated. And neither can their health benefits, which includeprotection from heart disease alld Callcel'.

history in traditional medicine. A review article in the Journal of Nutritionreportsthat garlic was one of the earliest documented plants used for health benefits and disease treatment in medical texts from Egypt, Greece, Rome, China and India. Today, scientists know that allium vegetables have anti-microbial, anti-tumor, anti-arthritic, anti-clotting and blood sugar-lowering actions. These benefits are likely related to allium's many health protective compounds, including vitamin C, the phytochemical quercetin and organosulfur compounds, which are responsible for alliums' characteristic flavor and aroma. In particular, alliums may be beneficial for cardiovascular disease and cancer protection.

Allium vegetables have been treasured over the millennia; onions, with origins in Asia, Iran and West Cardiovascular disease Pakistan, are the most widely cultivated species of the allium genus Quercetin has been linked with and have been grown for over 5,000 c ardiovascular h e alth.

100 studies found that garlic was linked with reduced blood lipids, blood glucose and blood pressure levels.

Cancer The European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition study found that higher intakes of onion and garlic were associated with reduced risk of intestinal cancer. Data from The Iowa Women' s Study showed that women with the highest garlic consumption had a 50 percentreduced risk of distalcolon cancer compared with those eating the lowest amount. While the mechanisms for cancer prevention are not yet full y understood, the organosulfur compounds are thought to play a role.

traditionally lacked market appeal or economic value as old staples — such as cod, tuna, haddock and shrimp — decline or become the subject of tougher fishing quotas. "We know we have to make a great-tasting product that supports local fishermen, supports the local industry and economy," Bar-

tholomew said. "And it's local — it's right here." New England's traditional food fish has long been the Atlantic cod, but it has faded in the face of overfishing and environmental changes. Restaurant owners, fishermen and f ood processing companies said a growing shift to other species is helping to fill that void. Catch of species such as spiny dogfish, Acadian redfish and scup have all increased dramaticallysince 10 years ago as cod has fallen. The shift toward trash fishrefl ects a broader trend in U.S. seafood toward species that are more abundant. Florida fishing regulators, for instance, have incentiv-

ized the hunt for invasive lionfish, which many view as pests. Elsewhere, the Jonah crab has also found acceptance as an alternative to the West Coast's popular Dungeness crab. T he evolution o f f o od from trash to delicacy goes back centuries. Many species have overcome an ugly name or gruesome appear-

A flavor-packed addition to tons ofwinter recipes,leeks are wonderful in everything from soups toomelets to pizzas.But I

find that too many home cooks hit a few stumbling blocks of intimidation: 'They' re filled with dirt!" "Which parts are edible?" "Where do I even begin?" Yes,leeks obtain grit because they grow so close to the ground. However, it's actually not difficult to prepthem correctly,elim inating all the dirt and leaving only pure,unadulterated leeky-goodness behind. Plus, leeks can do most anything onions, shallots, chives and scallions can do. And in my opinion, during winter months when they' re in their prime, leeks do it even better. Commonly divided by harvest seasons, winter an d

tures. The dark greens should be healthy-looking, without any Raying orpest damage. Many still contain the roots at the bottom, which is better than when they' re sliced off often exposing the white flesh. Since water can turn leeks st or mushy, do not rinse them when you get home; wait until just beforecooking.Also, cooked leeks are very perishable and will only stayfresh for about three days. Do keep in mind that, unlike other allium vegetables, leeks cannot be dried and must be kept chilled. If you end up with more leeks than this recipe calls for, just simmer the greens into a stock and &eeze in batches that keep all winter long. Now what's so scary about that?

leeks most popular in variety this time of year are King Richard and Tadorna. Summer leeks are generally smaller than winter leeks, which are more strongly flavored. When shopping for leeks at the farmers' market, look for wellformed whites without any punc-

tain high mercury levels, and pregnant women and young children should avoid eating them. Creatinga market forunderutilized fish species is important in New England today because ofwarming waters and corresponding changes in fish populations, said Melissa Bouchard, chef at the popular DiMillo's On The Water restaurant in Portland.

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 callPam Orebaugh 588-4546 or e-mail orebau h@uniondemocrat.corn

Every marriage is different, so don't judge

Today in history

DEAR ANNII I:: I'd like to know ifthis is considered spousal abuse. A young couple become born-again Christians. The husband decides he wants to go back to school to become a minister. He quits his corporate job and moves his family out of state. His wife supports him and the children for four years as best she can. He graduates and "just can't find the right job." He volunteers two days a week counseling people. In the meantime, they are barely gettingby.They don't have enough money to send the kids to college, and they can't afford their daughter' 8 wedding. The husband has decided not to get a paying job because he'8 doing "God's work." He sleeps late every day and spends hours on the computer writing religious blog posts. His wife works full time and does the cleaning, shopping and all household chores. I think this is emotional abuse.

CERNED RELATIVE DEAR RELATIVE: We think this is not your business. When couples make decisions about who brings in the money, it's between the two of them. Even if his wife doesn't like it and is unhappy, that doesn't necessarily mean it is abusive. Only unequal and frustrating. Every marriage is different. What is intolerable to you may be manageable for her. We agree it would be worrisome if she feels trapped and unable tochange her situation, but you do not indicate that this is the case. There are scholarships, grants and loans available for state and community colleges, What do you think? — CON- and a wedding can be punch and

cake in the backyard. Please don' t project your feelings onto her. She may think her marriage is perfectly fine. If you are a close family member,talk to her.Ask how she'8 doing. See what the situation is. If you believe counseling is needed, she may be amenable to discussing things with her clergyperson. And if she gives you the impression that her husband is controlling all the money or her access to family members and kiends, please urge her to call the National Domestic Violence Hotline (thehotline.org) at 1-800-799-SAFE. DEAR ANNIE: What do I say to people who tell me to smile? The reason I don't like to smile is because my smile is ugly and I look horrible — like I'm making a face. How do I get them to stop? —A DAILY READER DEAR READER: Well, y ou could grimace and then maybe they'd stop asking, but here's a different suggestion: If you are

embarrassed by your smile,see if something can be fixed. Often, it is as simple as seeing a dentist, or practicing in front of a mirror until you can manage something natural. It's also possible that you think you have a terrible smile when, in fact, no one else is bothered by it. Folks who are ashamed of or concerned about their smiles are often self-conscious to the point where it interferes with their social life. This puts you at a tremendous disadvantage.There is no shame in making your life better. Please see what can be done. Annie'8 Mailbox is written by Kathy

suppressed too much, then the bone can't repair small cracks that might lead to the bone becoming brittle. However, I want to emphasizethat these atypical fractures are unusual and that overall, more women get benefit from avoiding a typical fracture than are harmed by getting an atypical fracture from long-term use. Similarly,

I had a very low level of vitamin D and prescribed 50,000 units of vitamin D-2 twice a week. After a couple of weeks of taking this high dose, I began having to get up more at night to urinate. The problem worsenedto having tourinateevery half-hour to 45 minutes. I stopped the high dosage,and within another week, my

No physician has told me to discontinue it, but my dentist commented that he didn't think the drug should be continued for more than four years. Do you have an opinion about the correct length of time to use this medication? Should I switch to another osteoporosis product? —N.Y. ANSWER: Women of Asian descent are at higher risk for development of08teoporosi s and fractures.Fosamax (alendronate) and other members of the classof anti-o steoporosisdrugscalledbisphosphonates improvebonemineraldensitybyreducing the activity of osteoclasts, the cells that break down bone.Many studies have confirmed that the use of these drugs in

I suspect that we soonwill enter an era where it will be possible to reliably see if medications are working at the optimal level. Some physicians already use blood or urine tests to evaluate bone metabolism, but it isn't yet a standard recommendation. Finally, you should be sure that your vitamin D level is appropriate and that you are getting enough calcium, preferably from diet. DEAR DR. ROACKIIm a 70-year-old male with an enlarged prostate. About two yearsago,my doctordiscovered that

age of twice a night. I don't know if that reactio nisrare,butIjustwantedtorelate my experience. —Anon. ANSWER: I haven't seen that, but I very rarely use the 50,000 dosage regimen. I prefer 1,000 to 2,000 IU of vitamin D-3, asitdoesnotneedtobeactivatedby sunlight, which is a problem with the D-2 formulation, especially in winter. I appreciate your writing.

It may be just that the orthopedic surgeon wanted to be sure you were taking appropri atemedicinetopreventfracture. However, I think your orthopedic surgeon may have been concerned about an un-

On this date: In 1939, during the Spanish Civil War, rebel forces led by Gen. Francisco Franco captured Barcelona. In 1942, the first American Expeditionary Force to go to Europe during World

War II arrived in Belfast, Northern Ireland. In 1962, the United States launched Ranger 3 to land scientific instruments on the moon - but the probe ended up missing its target by more than 22,000 miles. In 1988, Australians celebrated the 200th anniversary of their country as a grand parade of tall ships re-enacted the voyage of the first European settlers. The Andrew Lloyd Webber musical "Phantom of the Opera" opened at Broadway's Majestic Theater. In 1998, President Bill Clinton forcefully denied having an affair with a former White House intern, telling reporters, "I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky." In 2005, A U.S. Marine helicopter crashed in western Iraq, killing 30 Marines and a Navy medic aboard. A man parked his SUV on railroad tracks in Glendale, California, setting off a crash of two commuter trains that killed 11 people. (The SUV's driver, Juan Alvarez, was convicted of murder and sentenced to 11 consecutive life terms.) Condoleezza Rice was sworn in as secretary of state, following her confirmation by the Senate.

S outh W e s t No r t h Ea s t South seems to have to find the club queen, since he can ruff his two low spades in the dummy 4NT Pass 54 Pass and dummy'sdiamond seven in his hand.So the 51 Pass 64 Pass original declarer drew trumps ending in his hand, then led the club jack. He assumed that if West ?V Pass Pass Pass had the club queen, he would cover or would think about it. However, when West played low Opening lead:V 3 smoothly, South won with dummy's king and returned a club to his 10 ... and went down one. Well-defended, West. The mathematician sees that he can also get home with four spades, five hearts, one diamond, two clubs snd s club ruff in the dummy after discarding two clubs on the third snd fourth spade winners. When there are two suits missing the queen, the best play is to cash the ace snd king in the suit with the greater number of cards (here, clubs), and if the queen does not fall, to finesse in the other suit (spades). Since West hsd s doubleton club queen, that would have worked.

A French classic made easy By DIANE ROSSEN WORTHINGTON Tribune Content Agency

Serves 6

Sonora, California

THE tJNIX ODEMOOhT

Coq au vin is a simple, rustic dish that translates to "chicken with wine." Julia Child made this peasant dish famous on her cooking show and in her books, but there are many versions. Some are made with white wine, others are marinated overnight with wine and vegetables, and still other styles include sauteed winter vegetables. A basic coq au vin is sauteed, then slowly simmered in wine, and bacon is added to bring a slightly smoky f iavor to t h e r i c h w i n e sauce.

The classic French recipe was originally developed to use up older, tougher chickens. Long braised in a wine sauce, the chicken then became tender. However, young chicken pieces are used here so there is no need

to braise them for hours. This simplified stovetop recipe is pretty quick to put together and takes under an hour to cook. And, best of all, it gives up nothing in fiavor. You can use any variety of chicken parts totaling about 3 1/2 pounds. Steamed or roasted baby potatoes would make an excellent side dish, and I always make sure to serve the same style of wine in the dish as my beverage.

Co au Vin Serves 4 to 6 6 strips bacon (about 1/3 pound), cut into 1-inch pieces 3 chicken breast halves 3 chicken drumsticks 3 chicken thighs 1/4 cup all-purpose flour Salt Freshly ground

pan, and pour in the brandy. Averting your eyes and making sure the overhead fan is turned off, light a match and ignite the brandy. When the alcohol has burned off the flames will go out. Add the wine, tomato paste and garlic, and cover the Dutch oven. 5. Braise on top of the stove on m e dium-low heat for about 50 minutes, or until the chicken is very tender w he n p i e rced with a fork.

FISH Continued from Page Bl dant," Bouchard said. She served dogfish tacos at a festival in foodcrazy Portland and they were well received, she

said.

The movement toward trash fish is not without skeptics, some of whom point to sustainable harvesting programs for fish that already have broad market appeal. Ray Hilborn, a marine biologist with the University of W ashington, said t h e push i s un n ecessary from a s u s t ainability point of view. "If they truly believe that traditional species are not sustainable, then

they don't know much and have no t l o oked very hard," Hilborn said. "There is plenty of cod, haddock, salmon, tuna and shrimp in the world that is sustainably harvested." But Azure Cygler, a fisheries specialist with the Coastal Resources Center at th e U n iversi-

ty of Rhode Island, said the shift toward what toward what she called "underloved" species is critical fo r s u staining fisheries and providing local protein sources in New England. S he pointed t o t h e growth of scup, an Atlantic species sometimes sold as "porgy," which has grown from less than 3 million pounds in 2000 to more than 15 million pounds in 2014 and is now advertised by Whole Foods. The fish could be just a more attractive

name away from a bigger breakthrough, she said. She suggests "silver bass." "If you demand it, it will happen," she said. " It's getting t ha t d e mand, and then getting fishermen to bring it in. And changing our culinary culture."

Court +les against late Raiders owner andwile

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A federal appeals court has ruled against late Oakland Raiders owner Al Davis and his wife, Carol, in a fight with the IRS over about $2.5 million in tax assessments. The court ruled Monday that the assessments for 1990, 1992 and 1995 were valid, though the IRS breached a contract with Al Davis. The decision by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals reversed a lower court ruling. The contract at issue entitled Davis and other Raiders partners to review the tax bills before they were assessed. The IRS failed to honor that part of the contract, prompting Davis to sue for a refund. Al Davis died in 2011, and his son, Mark, now owns the Raiders. A call to an attorney for Carol Davis was not immediately returned.

But when we come out and play the way that we play, we can take it away in the second half." The Blue Devils began the second half with a 3-pointer and the game remained close. M erced tied the game at41-41 with 16:40 left. Stallings and Grant gave the Jumpers some breathing room with a basket and a Stallings 3-pointer. Columbia held a slim 48-45 lead, but then exploded for a 12-0 run to take a 57-45 lead with 12 minutes to play. The Jumpers continued to shoot hot from the field, and with alack of a post player, Columbia is relying on outside shooting to do the majority of the damage. "Coach still preaches for us to drive and kick, but we are more guard oriented right now since we lost Kash (Kashmiere Hughes). That was a big loss for us," Grant said. "We still wanna drive, penetrate and get layups, but we don' t have anybody to throw it to down there for a post move. So wearetryingtospread the

Columbia continued its hot shooting, and led 73-54 with 7:45 left in the game. Down by 19, Merced started shooting 3-pointers and did not miss. In the final 7 minutes of the game, the Blue Devils hit six shots &om downtown, and finished the night with 14 made 3-pointers. With the win, Columbia (13-7, 3-2 CVC) has won two conference games in a row. The two game skid to Sequoias and Fresno now doesn't feel as bad.

FSU settles suit with Winston accuser TALLAHASSEE, Fl a. (AP) — Florida State University has settled a Title IX lawsuit with a former student who said the school failed to adequately investigate allegations that she was raped by former quarterback Jameis Winston. The settlement was announced a day before Winston's accuser, Erica Kinsman, had been scheduled to give a deposition in the case. As part of the settlement, FSU is making a five-year commitment to sexual as-

sault awareness and prevention. The university also has agreed to publish annual reports for the next five years about those progrmns. FSU said in a statement it has formed a Sexual Assault Prevention Task Group, hired a full-time Title IX cooNinator, added six positions to improve campus safety and required all incoming &eshmen to complete an online course to make "more informed choices about sex and relationships." The settlement also calls for a$950,000 payment to Kinsman and her attorneys. A copy of the settlement says Kinsman's attorneys wiH get $700,000 of that money, though they say that figure was inserted by the university and that they will receive far less.

"I got some comments about

that on social media that I looked really confused," Daniels said Monday while basking in the afterglow of his twotouchdown performance in Denver's 2018 dethroning of the defending champs. Daniels wasn't confounded, just cautious.

You see, while he was in Baltimore last season, the Ravens came up with a scheme to fool the Steelers in the playoffs. If they had enough time, they were going to take a knee and fake like they were trotting ofF to their nearby tunnel only to run back to the line of scrimmage, snap the ball while the Steelers were walking off and run for an easy touchdown. They never got that chance. But, hey, if anyone else has thought of it, you can bet Bill Belichick has, too. "New England has always got something up their sleeve," Daniels said. "... So, I was just making sure I was ready to make a tackle."

It's that football acumen that led coach Gary Kubiak to vouch for Daniels last spring when he and general m anagerJohn Elway mapped outtheir free agency plans and ofFered Daniels a three-year, $12 million contract. Daniels has played for Kubiak his entire NFL career. He spent eight seasons with him in Houston and followed him to Baltimore in 2014 when Kubiak was hired as the Ravens' offensive coordinator following his firing as the Texans' head coach. Together,they resurrected their respectivecareers before coming to Colorado. Danielscaught 48 passes for 527 yards and four touchdowns in helping the Ravens reach the playoffs, where he scored his first postseason touchdown against New England. In Denver, Daniels caught 46 passes for 517 yards and three TDs in the regular season. He had TD grabs of 21 and 12 yards Sunday. "As a coach when you bounce to different places and guys' names come up, you've got to be careful," Kubiak said. "But there are certain guys you have no doubt staying up for, saying, Put him on

tion where Peyton Manning had lost Julius Thomas and his two dozen TD catches from 2013-14 to &ee agency. He immediately received an invitation &om Manning to attend his annual passing camp at Duke, where the 39-year-ol d quarterback picked Daniels' brain about Kubiak's offensive philosophy. Then, Daniels tutored the rest of the offense. "He didn't like directly orderme to do that, but ... it kind of happened naturally," Daniels said. Daniels had a disappointing start in Denver as the Broncos struggled on offense early on. They were getting used to a new 0-line and Manning's left foot was bothering him. Plus, they had injuries that reduced their ranks at tight end and limited their options. Then, Elway brought in Vernon Davis from San Francisco just before the trade deadline and everything changed for Daniels and Virgil Green. While Davis has had problems with dropsand caught just20 passesfor201 yards, his presence really opened things up for the other tight ends. "It's been great. Having Vernon here, obviously he's a super dynamic player who has been playing really well for a long time," Daniels said. "Having him around, it's allowed us to do more twotight end stuff To have three guys that are reallyinterchangeable out there, he's been a great asset for us." It's not just Daniels' production, but his football instincts that helped the Broncos (14-4) get back to the Super Bowl, where the+I face the Carolina Panthers (17-1). Like his heads-up on Brady's kneeldown. "We tried to do that to another team," Daniels said, "so I was kind of alert to that." After the game, Daniels searched for Kubiak to soak in the moment.

Broncos choose to wear white road uniforms in SuperBowl ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — The Denver Broncos have chosen to wear their white road uniforms in Super Bowl 50 against the Carolina Panthers. It's a simple reason We' ve had Super Bowl success in our white uniforms," said John Elway, who was the Broncos' QB in back-to-back Super Bowl wins in the 1990s and is now their executive VP and general manager. Denver wore its white uniforms in its last Super Bowl win, 34-19 over Atlanta 17 years ago. The Broncos went 6-2 on the road in 2015, tying a &anchise record for most victories away from home. The AFC is designated the home team in even years.

The Broncos (14-4) face the Panthers (17-1) on Feb. 7 in their record-tying eighth Super Bowl appearance.

AFC title gamesdraws secondbest viewership on record NEW YORK (AP) — The AFC championship game has drawn its secondlargesttelevision audience on record. The Denver Broncos' down-to-thewire win over the New England Patriots in what could be the last meeting between Peyton Manning and Tom Brady averaged 53.3 million viewers Sunday on CBS. The network said Monday that trails only the 54.9 million for the 2011 Steelers-Jets matchup, which was played in a later time slot. CBS' records go back to 1978. With much of the East Coast digging out froma blizzard, it was the perfect day to draw a big audience. In the NFC matchup, the Panthers and Cardinals don't have the history of the Broncos and Patriots, and the outcome was a rout, leading to the unusual

occurrence of the early game getting more viewers than the late one. Carolina's victory averaged 45.7 million viewers, still up from the 42.1 million for New England's blowout of Indianpolis in thelate slota yearago.

MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — Serena Williams attacked Maria Sharapova's strength and it helped extend her complete domination of their rivalry, earning the sixtime Australian Open champion a place in the semifinals. Top-ranked Williams beat Sharapova 6-4, 6-1 in the quarterfi nals on Tuesday,her 18th consecutive victory and

19th in their 21 career meetings back to 2004. "It was super intense," Williams said of the replay of last year's final. "She's an incredibly intense, focused player who was No. 1 and has won so many Grand Slams fora reason. You have to come out with a lot of fire and intensity." Each of the six previous times Williams has won a quarterfinal at M e lbourne Park, she has won the title at the season-opening Grand Slam tournament. Up next for her is fourthseeded Agnieszka Radwanska, who beat No. 10 Carla Suarez Navarro 6-1, 6-3 to reacha Grand Slam semifinal for the fifth time. Sharapova has won five majors, including the 2008 Australian title, and has been in three other finals at Melbourne Park. In her fourth-round win against No. 12 Belinda Bencic she had a career-high 21 aces. Against Williams, she had three, and seven doublefaults. Williams had 13 aces, three double-faults, hit 31 winners to 11, and broke Sharapova's serve four times. "She played quite explosive," Sharapova said. "She was really explosive ofF the return. Yeah."

Sharapova broke to open the match and held for a 2-0 lead. But Williams held in the third game and broke to quickly level at 2-2. Early in the set, points were short. As it progressed, the rallies got longer, the shrieks and grunts got louder and the emotions were fully on display. Both players struggled with theirballtoss atone end, repeatedly practicing their toss to work out the best position to serve into the sun. Williams also had to concentrate hard to hold in the ninth game, when a baby screamed loudly in the stands as she faced breakpoints. She was able to protect her own serve, and go on the attack against Sharapova's. It cost her in the eighth game when she had three breakpoint chances, taking the high-risk rather than t he high-percentage option with her return. But that approach is what has helped win her 21 major titles, and Williams' aggressive returns finally helped her convert on her fourth set point, following a heavy ground stroke to the net and putting away a volley. She wenton afi ve-game roll until Sharapova held in the second set, and then finished it ofF in the seventh game after saving break points. Williams h a d m e dical treatment between sets, and again in the second during a changeover, but it wasn't clear what the problem was. She didn't comment on it in her on-court interview.

S harapova noted W i l liams startedthe opening set with fourbig serves, so she didn't think it hampered the 34-year-old American's game. She hasn't beaten Williams sinceback-to-back victoriesin 2004, when she led their rivalry 2-1. Despite more than 11 years in between, Sharapova isn't giving up hope of breaking that drought. "It's motivating because she's at a diff erent level," Sharapova said. "She makes you go back to the drawing board, not just for me, but for many other players. She makes you work. That's inSplHIlg.
