The Tuolumne Utilities District will not be ableto provide 130 acre-feet ofwater to fill Twain Harte Lake, a private, recreational reservoir, TUD's general manager said in a recent letter to the lake association president. Concerns about TUD's water supply and continuing drought conditions were among the factors TUD General Manager Tom Scesa cited in his March 26 letter. Scesa'sletter is dated three days after TUD learned from Pacific Gas and Electric that PinecrestReservoir is not expected to fill beyond 75 percent capacity this year, and that Lyons Reservoir may not fill to capacity. If Pinecrest does not fill, it will be the first time sinceatleast1969thereservoirhasn't filled, putting the district in unknown territory. Scesa's letter is addressed to Lynn Crook, president of the Twain Harte Lake Association. Crook could not be reached to comment forthisreport.

OBITUARIES

invi e o er execu ion methods SAN DIEGO (AP) — With the American Pharmacists Association taking a stance this week, the medical community is now united in its opposition to playing any role in capital punishment killings. That could make it increasingly difficult for corrections departmentsto obtain the alreadyscarcedrugs for lethal injections and prompt death penaltystates to return to previously shunned methods like firing squads, gas chambersand electric chairs,people onboth sides ofthe issue said Tuesday. " What happens in t h e course of an execution can be extremely uglyand excruciatingly painful," said Cheryl Pilate, a Kansas City, Missouri, attorney who has represented two inmates in that state who were executed and another whose death sentence is on hold pending appeals. "Alternative methods tend to make more plain what is actually happening when an execution occurs: It extinguishes a human life," she

said. Frankly, there is no pretty way to do it." The pharmacists' association on Monday adopted a resolution saying participation in executions goes against its members' core valuesas health care providers. That echoes ethics codes adopted by associat ions for

macies, which make madeto-order drugs for clients and are less regulated than the large manufacturers. Georgia's Department of Corrections s pokeswoman Joan Heath said only time will tell what the fallout will be. "It is simply too soon to predict if this will cause concern," she said when asked whether t h e pha r macy group'sdecision could affect the state's ability to get lethal injection drugs. Some say the pressure mounting on businesses to not partake in executions could simply drive more of them underground, with states offering to protect their identities. Judges have said such laws are unconstitutional. Attorney Pilate said Missouriclosely guards information about its executions and where it is getting the drugs, leaving unanswered questions. "It makes you wonder if the drug is coming &om an unsavory origin or some dark corner of the Internet," she said.

siologists on the issue. The decision came a week aRer the International Academy of

Compounding Pharmacists adopted a similar policy for its4,000 members. Officials in the death penalty states of Texas and Oklahoma declined to comment on the potential impact of the health community's stance. While not legally binding, the policies likely will decrease the number of busi-

nesses willing to sell such lethal injection drugs to prison departments. States already have been scrambling to find suppliers since major drugmakers stopped selling to corrections agencies. Many have been turning to compounded phar-

The Tuolumne County Board of Supervisors this month will consider adopting Prop 90. Simplified, the law allows people over 55 who sell their home in one county to transfer the "base year value" of that property to a home they buy in another county where Prop. 90 has been adopted. It'sa fairly obscure law — only 11 countieshave adopted it since the state initiative was passed by California voters in 1988. It's also highly complex. Here's an example of how it works: Joe and Jane Doe bought a houseinSan Jose in 1988 for $200,000 and were taxed that yearabout $2,000 (1 percent,the tax rate created under Prop. 13) by Santa Clara County. That ultra-low tax could have grown by up 2 percent per year as the home's assessed value was adjusted to account for infiation. So, today, the home's assessed value might be about $300,000, even though it has a marketvalue of,say,$600,000. A 1 percent property tax rate on a house assessed at only half itstrue value isa greatdeal.But,wait,itgetsbetter. John and Jane decide to sell this year and move to Tuolumne County, where they can sink the proceeds Irom the sale into buying or building their dream home. If Prop. 90 is in efFect in the county, their property tax will be based on the assessed value of the San Jose home — the$300,000 — not $600,000. So rather than Tuolumne County collecting $6,000 in tax on the home, it will get $3,000. County Assessor Kaenan Whitman says this tax break will incentivize some wealthy retirees to move to Tuolumne County, whereby providing the entire economy a boost. He concedes it wouldn't be much, either in terms of new economic activity or lost tax revenues. He says the loss to the

county treasury would also be minimal — between $3,100 and $5,600,based on an estimate of10 to 15 people applying, though it seems it could be higher. "The overall efFect is going to be small both ways," he said. "But we hope to do enough small things right that it helps." The holes in the logic of adopting Prop 90? It assumes the world operates in a logical way (like an economics text). However, realistically, people are driven to relocate by other considerations. The first would likely be: Do they want to live in Tuolumne County in the first place? Would the tax break even be a game changer? We think it'd be less an incentive than a retroactive bonus for well-heeled retirees. It also would cut property tax revenues that the county seems to need.

The losses might be small, but would be cumulative as more transplants' under-taxed propertiesare added to the rolls. Given the tough stafF cuts the county has had to make over thepast severalyears,asa resultofdeclining property-tax revenues, we think county leaders should look at this closely before jumping in. The question needs to be whether giving generous tax breaks to the well-heeled is more important than small steps toward shoring up the county budget? The Board of Supervisors will hold a public hearing at 1:30 p.m. April 21 regarding the proposal.

NOW THAT HAPRY PHD IS RETlPINCi

HiPcA GUEST COLUMN

Is in tolerance a two-way street? "Theres sometlnng very dangerous happening in states across the country," Apple chief executive Tim Cook warned Monday in a Washington Post opinion piece against Indiana's newly passed Religious Freedom Restoration Act. It mattersnot to the corporate big shot that President Bill Clinton signed a federal Religious Freedom Restoration Act in 1993 (which current House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi supported) or that then-Illinois state Sen. Barack Obama voted for a similar law in 1998. It was one thing for Democrats to support religious &eedom when there was no downside to standing up for the devout. Today there could be a cost. An Indiana baker might refuse to sell a wedding cake to a same-sex couple and cite the new law if the couple were to sue him or her. Cook believes that such discrimination would be "bad for business." I agree. Cook also believes that the baker wouldn't have the right to say no. I do not agree with that. When Obama first ran for the White House, he supported a ban on same-sex marriage. If Cook had a problem with Obama's stand, he kept it to himself. Years later, Obama announced that his position had evolved and he had come to support same-sex marriage. Voila: Now anyone who disagrees with samesex marriage is a bigot and thus has no rights.

Possible changes in store for religious-objections law INDIANAPOLIS (AP)Indiana Gov. Mike Pence asked lawmakers Tuesday to send him a clarification of the state's new religious-freedom law later this week, while Arkansas legis lators passed a similar measure, despite criticism that it is a thinly disguised attempt to permit discrimination against gays. The Arkansas proposal now goes to Republican Gov. Asa Hutchinson, who has said he will sign it. Pence defended the Indiana law asa vehicle to protectreligious liberty but said he has been meeting with lawmakers "around the clock" to address concerns that it would allow businesses to deny services to gay customers. The governor said he does

But, he said, he "can appreciate that that's become the perception, not just here in Indiana but all across the country. We need to confront

that." The Indiana law prohibits any laws that "substantially burden" a person's ability to follow his or her religious beliefs. The definition of "person" includes religious institutions, businesses and asso-

ciations. Although the legal language does not specifi cally mention gays and lesbians, critics say the law is designed to shield businesses and individuals who do not want to serve gays and lesbians, such as florists or caterers who might be hired for a same-sex wedding. not believe "for a minute" that In W ashington, White lawmakers intended "to cre- House spokesman Josh Earate a license to discriminate." nest said Indiana officials "It certainly wasn't my in- appeared to be in "damagetent," said Pence, who signed control mode" following the the law last week. uproar over the law.

No nuclear agreement yet: Iran talks push past deadline LAUSANNE, Switzerland (AP)With stubborn disputes unresolved, nuclear talks between Iran and six worldpowers went past a self-imposed deadline and into overtime as negotiators renewed efForts to hammer out the outline of an agreement. Enough progress had been made to warrant the extension past midnight Tuesday, State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf said, although there still were "several difficult issues" to bridge. Secretary of State John Kerry, who had planned to leave the talks Tuesday, was remaining. And an Iranian negotiator said his team could stay "as long as necessary" to clear the remaining hurdles. The decision came after six days of marathon efforts to reach a preliminary understanding by midnight Tuesday, drawing in foreign ministers from all seven nations at the table — Iran, the United States, Russia, China, Britain, France and Germany. After more than a decade of diplomatic efforts to limit Tehran's nuclear

In Washington, White House press secretary Josh Earnest suggested that talks meant to produce an outline that would allow the sides to continue negotiations until the June 30 final deadline had not bridged all gaps. He said the sides were working to produce a text with few specifics, accompanied by documents outlining areas where further extend the time Tehran would need talks were needed.

One-tenth of Valley

smog from Asia DAVIS (AP) — Up to 10 percent of the smog in California's polluted San Joaquin Valley is coming from outside the state — much of it f rom 6,000 miles away, in Asia, researchers in California said Tuesday. Ian Faloona, an atmos pheric scientist at t h e University of California at Davis, presented the findings at a conference of air quality experts and regulators near Yosemite National Park. Researchers with t he California univ ersity spent three years gathering air samples from monitoring systems in a plane and near Point Sur on the California coast. Scientists said they were able to determinesignature traits of pollutantsfrom different areas, allowing them to determine their origin.

In a statement, Faloona said the study on alleged secondhand smog from China and other Asian countries was not about just assigning blame. "Traditionally, air pollution has always been considered an issue to be handled locally — 'It's your backyard, it's your problem.' But we're going tohave to treat air pollution to some extent how we treat greenhouse gases" globally, Faloona sard. The San Joaquin Valley, regularly falls short of airquality standards.

Bighorn facts Before the arrival of western settlers, who brought unregulated hunting and livestock diseases, Sierra Nevada bighorn sheep populations likely numbered in the thousands. Sierra Nevada bighorn sheep are known for their size, strength and ease of movement on steep terrain. • Adult males, called rams, stand over 3 feet tall at the shoulder and weigh up to 220 pounds.Females, called ewes, weigh up to 155 pounds. • Both rams and ewes have permanent horns. Ram horns are large and coiled. Ewe horns are shorter with less curvature. • Bighorn sheep can display a range of body color, from dark brown to near-white.

They have a large white rump patch and a short, dark tail. • Rams liveto be10to12 years old. Ewes live to be 12 to 17 years old. • During rut, bighorn rams compete for their right to mate with ewes. Dominance behavior includes kicking, butting, neck wrestling, and horn-to-horn clashes that can sound like thunder. Breeding generally takes place in November. • Starting at 2 years old, ewes give birth to one lamb between late April and midJune. Mothers typically wean their lambs by 5 months of age. • Lambs become independent of their mothers when they are about1 year old.

animals were fitted with ra-

dio collars and GPS collars to track their movements. Contractors and volunteers used m etalcages to transport and release the bighorn. The multiagency operation included staff with the state Department of Fish and Wildlife, Yosemite, Sequoia and Kings Canyon national parks, the Inyo forest, and the federal Fish and Wildlife Service.

Investigations, repairs and testing have been under way since then, and the lake association hoped to reopen the filled reservoir by Memorial Day. ''When we initially met with your Engineer and General Manager, February 25, 2015, we did inform them that we did expect that this year was going to be another drought year," Scesa said in his letter. "With this in mind, and the dry weather conditions that have been forecasted, we were uncertain if and when Lyons Reservoir would fill." Tuolumne Utilities District stafFalso said it was unclear if state water authorities would allow TUD to fill

a private recreational lake in a drought. " Our District was i n formed this week by Pacific Gas and Electric Company that Pinecrest Lake is projectedto be at 75 percent capacity as of May and that possibly Lyons Reservoir will not fill and spill," Scesa said in his letter. eWe are in the

process of deciding what conservation measures we will be asking of all our customers so that we can make it to

the end of the calendar year." If conditions change in the next couple of months, TUD may be able to consider supplying the Twain Harte Lake Association with some of the water they've requested, Scesa said.

Recovery Program with state Fish and Wildlife. Sierra Nevada bighorn sheep are the only federally endangered mammal in Yosemite, Sequoia and Kings Canyon, according to biologists. Bighorn were prevalent up and down Sierra Nevada high country until the mid1800s, when u nregulated hunting and disease from domestic sheep began reducing bighorn numbers. Disease from domestic sheep remains the leadingthreat to Sierra Nevada bighorn, Stock said. Native bighorn were first reintroduced to Yosemite National Park in 1986 in Lee Vining Canyon, Stock said. Today there are 40 to 50 of them and they can sometimes be seen summering along the Sierra crest, on peaks including Mount Danaand Mount Gibbs, northeast of the Cathedral Range. Up and down the Sierra

Nevada, endangered bighorn have increased from a low of about 100 animals in 1995 to 600 animals today, Stock said. Nevertheless, areas inhabited by bighorn today representa fraction of their former range. Until a more robust population is established, biologists say, bighorn will remain at risk.

The nonprofit Yosemite Conservancy helped pay for equipment and expertise to bring the new herd into Yosemite National Park, as well as GPS collars to track bighorn movement and location, accordingtothepark service. sBighorn sheep are a true

symbol of wilderness and represent the need to protect wild lands," said Yosemite Conservancy president Frank Dean. "With the reintroduction, visitors will experience a wilderness similar to that found in the days of John Muir, when large alpine wildlife was abundant."

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.com

Modern-day wedding costs divvied differently DEARAI%ttIE:My son lives in California and is going to marry a local girl in the fall. Our entire family lives in the Midwest.

My husband and I are retired, but are giving our son and future daughter-inlaw a large sum of money to help with wedding costs.

Diuretic use a common cause of low blood sodium DEAR DR ROACH: Please discuss low sodium? My last blood sodium shows 129on a scale of 136 to 146.I havebeen on a 50-mg hydrochlorothiazidewater tab oncea day for 15 years, along with two benazepril 40-mg tabs each day. My sodium has been running 129 to133forfi veyears.Iam 71.— S.G. ANSWER:The diuretic hydrochlorothiazide is a very common cause of low sodium levels. With HCTZ, especially at the higher 50-mg dose and especially in the elderly, the kidney is unable to get rid of all the 6ee water we drink, and the sodium in the urine can exceed the sodium in blood, leading to a lowering of the blood sodium level. The body will

In your case, with very mild, apparently asymptomatic and stable low sodium, I would talk to your doctor about whether a lower dose of the HCTZ, or changing it for a di6erent class of medication, is necessary.

my previous doctor had ever mentioned this to me, and I saidno. She wanted me to goto seea hematologist,asshehad concerns that I might have leukopenia.

The hematologist she was sending me to waslocated ata hospitalcancercenten Don't some individuals just have a low white blood cell count? It isn't as if this happened suddenly. This has been consistent. Do you have any thoughts? — J.M.

should be looked for, starting with your medications (including any supplements), a complete history and physical exam, and possibly some more-sophisticated blood tests.

Today is Wednesday, April 1, the 91st day of 2015. There are 274 days left in the year. This is April Fool's Day. Today's Highlight in History: On April 1, 1945, American forces launched the amphibious invasion of Okinawa during World War II. (U.S. forces succeeded in capturing the Japanese island on June 22.) On this date: In 1865, during the Civil War, Union forces led by Maj. Gen. Philip Sheridan routed Confederate soldiers under the command of Maj. Gen. George Pickett in the Battle of Five Forks in Virginia. In 1924, Adolf Hitler was sentenced to five years in prison for his role in the Beer Hall Putsch in Munich. (Hitler was released in Dec. 1924; during his time behind bars, he wrote his autobiographical screed, "Mein Kampf.") In 1962, the Katherine Anne Porter novel "Ship of Fools," an allegory about the rise of Nazism in Germany, was published by Little, Brown & Co. on April Fool's Day. In 1970, President Richard M. Nixon signed a measure banning cigarette advertising on radio and television, to take effect after Jan. 1, 1971. In 1975, with Khmer Rouge guerrillas closing in, Cambodian President Lon Nol resigned and fled into exile, spending the rest of his life in the United States. In 1984, recording star Marvin Gaye was shot to death by his father, Marvin Gay (cq) Sr. in Los Angeles, the day before his 45th birthday. (The elder Gay pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter, and received probation.)

South, is itthis, that ortheother? By PHILLIP ALDER A nthony Trollope, a 19th-century English a uthor, said, "Three hours a day will produce as much as a man ought to write." Not all authors would have agreed with that. Two who come to mind are Isaac Asimov and P.G. Wodehouse. Inthis deal, though, declarer, in seven spades, has three choices at trick one after West leads the heart king. What are they, and which should he select? This was a difficult bidding deal. South made what sounded to his partner like a help-suit game-try. North, holding excellent diamonds andfour spades, jumped to game. Then South,out of ideas, used Blackwood with a void and finally guessed well to bid seven spades.(Users of textbook Roman Key CardBlackwood would have known that North had the diamond king, not the club

king.) The natural reaction is immediately to discard declarer's club loser on dummy's heart ace. But if South does that with this layout, he goes down one, falling foul to the unlucky 4-0 diamond break. There are two other trick-one choices. Declarer can discard a diamond on the heart ace. Then, after drawing trumps, South can play three rounds of diamonds, ruff a diamond in his hand, return to dummy with a trump, and pitch his club loser on the 13th diamond. Alternatively, my pick: Play low from the dummy, ruff in hand, draw trumps, and turn to diamonds. When South sees the 4-0 split, he will realize the necessity for the diamond discard on the heart ace.

DERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. 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 ofwhich 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. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: Thesaledate shown on this notice of sale may be postponed 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.

plex rule that now affects only defined-benefit pensions (the type with set monthly benefits for life). Under the plan, each year you'd add up all the money accumulated in tax-deferred accounts, including IRAs and 401(k)s, then project what the total would be worth when you hit 62. If the projected savings could be converted into an annuity that would generate more than $210,000 annuallyat age 62, you'd be barred from saving

of assetsfrom your spouse without paying state or federalestate taxes. You can also give an unlimited amount of assets to your spouse while you're alive without filing a gifttax return.

That exemption doesn't extend to unmarried couples. Estates of up t o $5.43 million are exempt from federal estate taxes, but 13 states and Washington, D.C., have lower thresholds for theirestate or inheritance taxes. In Pennsylvania, heirs who aren't spouses or family members must pay 15 percent on their entire inheritance. Vincent Barbera, a c er-

tified financial planner in Berwyn, Pen n sylvania, has a client whose partner of 10years will owe about $350,000 in taxes if she inherits his estate. "My offi cialrecommendation to him is to seriously consider marriage, because there's no other foolproof way to avoid paying the taxes," he says.

Chromebooks don't have a hard drive. Instead, they function as terminals dependent on an Internet connec-

tion to get most work done. Despite those limitations, Chromebooks have been steadily gaining in popularity, particularly in schools, as more applications and services made a v ailable over I n t ernet

— a phenomenon known as "cloud computing" that has reduced the need for hard drives. About 6 million Chromebooks were sold worldwide last year, more than doubling from 2.7 million in 2013, according to IDC. In contrast, sales in the overall PC market slipped 2 percent last year, marking the third consecutive annual decline. IDC is projecting 8 million Chromebooks will be sold this year. Besides the $149 laptops, Google also is attacking Microsoft on other fronts. Lat-

In the summer, Asus and Google will start selling a new Chrome device that will provide people a cheaper way to upgrade an old PC. The device, called the Chromebit, is a stick loaded with an entire operating system that can be plugged into any HDMI port. The Chromebit's price h asn't been set, Google says it will cost less than $100. Here's what you need to know about the cheaper S urface Pro 3 a n d n ew Chromebooks:

The tax code also favors married couples when it comes to inherited IRAs. A spouse who inherits an IRA can roll the account into his or her own IRA. The surviving spouse can postpone taking required minimum distributions until age 70 1/2. In the meantime, the account will continue to grow

they're not required to take RMDs. The same option isn't available t o un m a r ried partners. However, an unmarried partner who is named as an IRA beneficiary can minimize taxes by rolling the account into an inherited IRA and taking distributions based on his or her life expectancy (see kiplinger. c om/arti c l e / i n v e s t i n g / T032-C000-S002-get-themost-from-inherited-iras. html).

Johnson, who came offher line. In the 50th minute, Skellenger's attacking determination pulled through. After Summerville won a corner, Skellenger curled a cross that &eshman Shiloh Quincy calmly finished into the back of the net, cutting the gap to 3-1. "I think it was huge for Shiloh toget that goal,get that confidence back up again," Schultz said. "She scored in the preseason for us, and I think now finally getting to score in league should help boost her confidence a lot. Shiloh's a good player. She's very smart. She knows what to do." The Bears chipped away at the Redskins' two-goal lead when Skellenger was sprung &ee by a long pass. She fired her shot on frame, but Johnson once again came off her line and denied her for a split second before the defiected ball ricocheted off a Calaveras defender for an own-goal in the 55th minute. Summerville outshot Calaveras 5-2 in the second half, but could not find the equalizerthe restofthe way. "We made some adjust-

Nearly 15 minutes later, M ason got on theend ofa bad giveaway by Summerville in the final third and blasted her shot far post for a commanding 3-0 lead. "It was good because Amador had only scored one goal on them," Deckman said. "We weren't looking for a highscoring game, but putting three in, 3-0, in the first half, it was good." After starting the match as a sweeper on the Summerville defensive backline, Bear star Mali PetersonWood was slotted back into her usual midfield shift in the second period by coach Brad Schultz and the payoff was almost immediate. With PetersonWood distributing and holding down the midfield, Darian Skellenger, who entered the contest with 19 goals, moved up top from midfield to her natural forward position and gave Summerville its first true look on goal. Skellenger broke &ee in the open field just a minute into ments at h alftime,e Schultz the second half, but her shot said. "I chaxgei the lineup was ciaimed by goalie Sam again.

There were a few we couldn't finish. It's tough." J ohnson recorded fi v e saves, with the majority of those coming from outside the box. With the loss, Summerville (3-2 MLL) has dropped backto-back matches and looks to turn things around in a road

contest against Linden next Tuesday. "That's always a t ough game, butwe gotta go down there," Schultz said. 'Vile need to get back in the winning column. Hopefully ,Ihave everybody back and healthy." Calaveras (3-0-1 MLL) has an opportunity to make it four wins out of its last five if the Redskins can beat Linden on Thursday at Frank Meyer Field in San Andreas. "We're definitely getting betterand better each game," Leetham said.

Lincecum gets into 6th in SF win over Rockies

SANTA CLARA (AP)The San Francisco 49ers have re-signed linebacker Desmond Bishop to a oney ear c o n tract. The team

announced the deal Tuesday. Bishopjoined the Niners lastDecember and played two games. He had two tackles on special teams and one on defense. San Francisco had been seeking help at linebacker after the recent reti rements of Patrick Willis and Chris Borland. Bishop has appeared in 75 games with Green Bay, Minnesota and San Francisco since entering the league as a sixth-round pick by the Packers in 2007 outofCalifornia.

Newman's race team manipulated tires C HARLOTTE, N.C . (AP) — NASCAR levied harsh penalties ~ t Ryan Newman's race team Tuesday after determining Richard Childress Racing manipulated the tires Newman used atAuto Club Speedway in California. There had been rampant speculation throughout the Sprint Cup garage that teams were drilling tiny holes in their tires to allow air to escape during a race. The process is known as "bleeding tires" and NASCAR last week at Martinsville Speedway warned crew chiefs about the penalties that would be levied against any team caught. Newman was one of four drivers to have his tires taken by NASCAR aAer the March 22 race at Fontana. The tires were sent

for an independent inspection, and NASCAR said Tuesday that Newman's tires were found to have violatedarulethat"bars any modifications to the tire or wheel, including the valve stem hardware, that is used to release pressure."

As a result, crew chief Luke Lambert was fi ned $125,000 and suspended for the next six races. The suspension also includes the All-Star race in May. Lambert was also placed on probation through the end of the year. Newman and car owner Childress were docked 75 points each.

AP study: average MLB salary tops $4M NEW YORK (AP) E ven before th e fi r st pitch ofthe 2015 season is thrown, an eye-popping baseball record will be set. Theaverage salarywhen opening-day rosters are finalized Sunday will break the $4 million benchmark for the first time, accord-

ing to a study of all major league contracts by The Associated Press. Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw tops players at $31 million and Los Angeles projects to open the season with a payroll at about $270 million, easily a record. Fueled by the largest two-year growth in more than a decade, the average salaryprojectstobe about $4.25 million, according to the AP study, with the finalfi gure depending on how many players are put on the disabled list before the first pitch is thrown.

Coroner waits on cause of death LOS ANGELES (AP)The coroner's office said Tuesday it will await the results of blood and urine tests before determining what caused the death of a University of California, Berkeley, soccer player who was hit by a car on a Los Angeles freeway. Medical examiners usually determine someone hit by a car died of blunt farm traumas. But because of the ciitcumstances in the death

of Eloi Vasquez, the doctor handling the autopsy opted to wait up to 10 weeks for the toxicology results,coroner's Lt. Fred Corral said.

The award, named after a former Giants athletic trainer, honors a player in his first year in big league camp whose performance and dedication exemplifies the Giants' spirit. Previous winners include Lincecum, Belt and Russ Ortiz.

Starting times Rockies: Except for dealing with 95-degree weather, Matzek thought everything went well. "I would have liked to have gone deeper in the game," he said. "I threw 77 pitches and finished to 90 in the bullpen. I was told if this were the regular season, I'd be back out there." Matzek is penciled in to

start the Rockies'home opener.

"I'm excited. It's a huge opportunity," he said. "How many people can say they started the home opener? I want to start the season with

a win." Giants: Lincecum was officially named to the starting rotation after his outing. "Coming in here I expected it," he said. "I'm not going to say I needed to know because the confidence I have in myself is helping me enough. It's nice to know though. During the offseason I have done enough to put myself in a position to have success. I just need to continue that." He's still working on his curveballand hoping for a late break on it.

Tuesday, I checked on the StubHub ticket resale website. Thousands of seats to this weekend's games are available at discount prices. I salute these discerning customers who wish to unload their tickets. The Giants and A's may have their 2015 rosters mostly set. But no one expects Buster Posey or Coco Crisp to play nine innings in any of the three games. In fact, Crisp might not even be in uniform. His elbow is iffy, and he might go on the disabled list. No one has asked me for a better substitute plan. But I amhappytoofferone,anyway. The A's and Giants should dissolve their (air quote gesture) "Bay Bridge series" and find something more (air quote gesture) "respectable"todoon this last weekend before the realstufFstarts.

First, whichever team that opens the regular season on the road — this year, the Giants — should just stay in Arizona and findanother MLB team for another few exhibition games. If all other MLB teams have evacuated the desert, then the games could be against their own Triple-A roster. Meanwhile, the team that

opens the season in the Bay Area — which would be the A's this year — could fly back here and play one or two home exhibition games against one or two of the local Division I college teams, on a rotating basis. This could be done as a fundraiser forthose programs or another charity. Back in the 1960s, the Giants played an annual exhibition game

against Santa Clara University. It was a great experience for boththe college players and their fans. Willie Mays didn't mind playing against college kids for a day. Brandon Belt surely wouldn't. And my alternate plan? That would be first basemen with (air quote gesture) "lasers" on their heads. Opening day can't arrive soon enough.
