have created art out of reused materials in c elebration of

Earth Day. Approximately 500 plastic bottles were collected by students, and used to craft a sculpture.

The spiral-cut bottles were colored with acrylic paint, strung to a chain, and melted with a heat gun.

The final piece is meant to repli cate the work of Dale Chihuly — a glass blower whose work is shown worldwide. Students studied his work prior to beginning the project.

Work on t h e s culpture started two months ago when the students began researching the design and calculating how many bottles would be needed.

Teachers, Kendra Munoz and Jennifer Buteau, designed the project to touch on arange ofsubjectmatters and be ahands-on learning on experience for the students.

"My coll eague Jennifer Buteau was looking for something that would be projectbased," said Munoz. "She wanted it to be meaningful by incorporating art, language arts, math, science, technology and engineering."

Scientists convinced of tie between Woman injured in alleged DUI wreck earthquakes and drilling in U.S. LOS ANGELES (AP) — With the evidence coming in from one study after another, scientists are now more cer-

tain than ever that oil and gas drilling is causing hundreds upon hundreds of earthquakes across the U.S. So far, the quakes have been mostly small and have done little damage beyond cracking plaster, toppling bricks and rattling nerves. But seismologists warn that the shaking can dramatically increase the chances ofbigger, more dangerous quakes.

Up to now, the oil and gas industry has generally argued that any such link requires further study. But the rapidly mounting evidence could bring heavier regulation down on drillers and make it more difficult for them to get projects approved.

The potential for man-made quakes "is an important and legitimate concern that must be taken very seriously by regulators and industry," said Jason Bordoff, founding director of the Center on Global Energy Policy at Columbia University.

He said companies and states can reduce the risk by taking such steps as monitoring operations more closely, imposing tighter standards and recycling wastewater &om drilling instead of injectingitunderground.

A series of government and academic studiesover the past few years — includingatleasttworeportsreleased this week alone — has added tothebody ofevidence implicating the U.S. drilling boom that has created a bounty of jobs and tax revenue over the past decade or so.

On Thursday, the U.S. Geological Survey released the first comprehensive maps pinpointing more than a dozen areas in the central and eastern U.S. that have been jolted by quakes that the researchers said were triggered by drilling. The report said man-made quakes tied to industry operations have been on the rise.

Scientists have mainly attributed the spike to the injection of wastewater deep underground, a practice they say can activate dormant faults. Only a few casesofshaking have been blamed on fracking, in which large volumes of water, sand and chemicals are pumped into rock formations to crack them open and free oil or gas.

"The pictureisvery clear"thatwastewater injection can cause faults to move, said USGS geophysicist William Ellsworth.

Until recently, Oklahoma — one of the biggest energy-producing stateshad been cautious about linking the spate of quakes to drilling. But the Oklahoma Geological Survey acknowledged earlie r this week that it is "very likely" that recent seismic activity was caused by the injection of wastewater into disposal wells.

Earthquake activity in Oklahoma in 2013 was 70 times greater than it was before2008, state geologists reported.

Oklahoma historically recorded an average of 1.5 quakes of magnitude 3 or greater each year. It is now seeing an average of 2.5 such quakes each day, accordingtogeologists.

Angela Spotts, who lives outside Stillwater, Oklahoma, in an area with a number of wastewater disposal wells, said the shaking has damaged her brick home. She pointed to the cracked interior and exterior walls, and windows and kitchen cabinets that are separating from the structure.

"There'sbeen no doubt in my mind what's causing them," Spotts said.

"Sadly, it's really taken a long time for people to come around. Our lives are being placed at risk. Our homes are being broken."

Yet another study, this one published Tuesday in the journal Nature Communications, connected a swarm of small quakes west of Fort Worth, Texas, to nearby natural gas wells and wastewater disposal.

The American Petroleum Institute said the industry is working with scientists and regulators "to better under-

stand the issue and work toward collaborative solutions."

The Environmental Protection Agency said there no plans for new regulations as a result of the USGS study.

"We knew there would be challenges there, but they can be overcome," EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy said Thursday at an energy conference in Houston.

For decades, earthquakes were an afterthought in the central and eastern

U.S., which worried more about tornadoes, floods and hurricanes. Since 2009, quakes have sharply increased, and in some surprisingplaces.

rights holders, mostly Central Valley farmers in the San Joaquin River watershed, ordering them to stop pumping from streams. The order only applies to those who obtained water licenses after 1914.

California's water rights system gives priority to those with claims more than

restrictions on the use of governmentmonitored water during the drought.

Federaland state agencies also slashed

More than 5,000 water rights were suspended last year, which the board says helped contribute to fallowed fields and joblosses atfarms.

People who ignore the board and illegally take water face fines of $1,000 per day, or $10,000 daily penalties for disobeying cease and desist orders.

American killed in US drone strike WASHINGTON (AP) — Blaming the "fog of war," President Barack Obama revealedThursday that U.S. drone strikes in Pakistan inadvertently killed an American and an Italian, two hostages held by al-Qaida, as well as two other Americans who had leadership roles with the terror network.

Obama somberly said he took full responsibility for the January CIA strikes and regretted the deaths of hostages Warren Weinstein of Rockville, Maryland, and Giovanni Lo Porto, an Italian aid worker. The president cast the incident as a tragic consequence of the special difficulties of the fight against terrorists.

The incident is likely to spark fresh scrutiny of Obama's frequent use of drones totarget terrorists and his pledge to strike only when there is "near certainty" that no civilians will be harmed.

Weinstein, who was captured as

he neared the end of a contract assignment with the U.S. Agency for International Development, and Lo Porto were killed during a drone strike against an al-Qaida compound in Pakistan, near the Afghan border.

U.S. officials said the compound was targetedbecause intelligence showed it was frequented by al-Qaida leaders.

That same intelligence offered no indication the hostages were there, the officials said.

Ahmed Farouq, a dual U.S.-Pakistani national who was an al-Qaida operations leader in Pakistan, was killed in the strike, along with a small number of members of the terror organization, the officials said. Adam Gadahn, an American who served as an al-Qaida spokesman, was killed in a separate strike on a second compound.

"It is a cruel and bitter truth that in the fogofwar generally and our fight against terrorists specifically, mis-

WASHINGTON (AP)Hillary Rodham Clinton's passionate speech Thursday appealing for expanded rightsand opportunities for women in the U.S. and around the world wasn't supposed to be a campaign event. But it might as well have been.

Addressing t h e annual Women in the World summit, Clinton made a forcefulcase for protecting women's health care choices and e x panding paid family l eave. The front runner for the Democratic nomination, Clinton criticized "those who offerthemselves as leaders" but oppose equal pay for women or want todefund Planned Parenthood — a veiledreference to some of her Republican rivals.

The speech in New York provided one of the first glimpses of how Clinton will seek to tout her gen-

der as an asset in the 2016 campaign. Her a dvisers have long said they regret downplaying the historymaking potential of her candidacy during her failed 2008 White House bid and have vowed to not make the same mistake this time around.

Still, that doesn't mean C linton herself wil l b e talking explicitly a bout the prospect of being the first woman to occupy the Oval Office. She made only veiled references to her candidacy Thursday, including saying she had wanted to be at the event "regardlessof what else I was doing."

In her first two weeks as a candidate for the Democratic nomination, Clinton is instead letting her choice of events and campaign themes do the talking on the subject of a woman attaining the presidency.

HEIST Continued from Page Al taurant when the ruffians came in to mock the auxiliary lawmen and their "sissy" event.

This writer, with a sixth-sense for danger, intrigue and pretty ladies, maneuvered his way into the luncheon.

The scoundrels helped themselves to drinks, toasting to an end oftheMother Lode Roundup.

It is well documented that Coyote Sam's great-grandfather was one of the Roundup's original organizers. But the posse members were always too drunk to help him, according to Sam, leavinghis greatgrandfather to do all the work.

Sam has held a grudge against the posse since hearing his grandfather'stale ofwo e as a child and has attempted to stop the Roundup each year by stealing some item of importance.

Luckily, a citizen has always managed to find the stolen cache, squirreled away by the bandits, and saved the event.

"I ain't such a bad guy," Coyote Sam said. "I helped ol' Ty Wivell across the street once — with the heelofmy boot!"

Continued from Page Al sociation's general manager. "The rest is kind of up to Mother Nature right now."

Work is underway to repair the cracked dam. The repairs are expected to becompleted between May 1 and 3, Wyckoff said.

The California Department of Water Resources' Division of Safety of Dams gave the clearance this week to fill up to 10 percent of the lake while the dam is still under repair.

"By removing the insulation &om the copperwire,itincreasesthevalue ata recycling centerbecause the recycling center will not have to do it themselves,"Williams said in a written statement.

An AT&T fiber-optic line was cut in the process of the alleged theft and led to the loss of landline and cell phone service for customers in La Grange and neighboring counties, including Tuolumne.

The Stanislaus County Office of Emergency Services put together a backup plan to provide 911 service toresidents in the area and assembled a team that included members of Stanislaus County law enforcement, fire and regional 911 dispatchers.

Authorities &om Tuolumne and Mariposa counties, which closely border the town of La Grange, joined the Stanislaus County team in es-

tablishing a temporary call center to receivecalls for em ergency services &om residents affected by the outage.

A Tuolumne County SherifFs sergeant and 911 dispatcher were sent to assist because calls from Tuolumne County residents near La Grange are routed through a common call center that went down during the outage, Tuolumne County Sheriff Jim Mele said.

"It happened in Stanislaus County and affected a number of other counties," he said.

AT&T "immediately responded to make the necessary repairs to fix the damaged telephone wire and servicewas restored"atabout 10:15 p.m.Wednesday, the release stated.

It is not known at this time how many residents were without service or exactly how long the outage lastedforallthose affected.

Wednesday's incident bore striking similarities to one that occurred in Tuolumne County on Oct. 14, 2014, when a widespread landline, cell phone and Internet outage was caused by an AT&T fiber-optic line that was intentionally severed near Sonora.

Although it's still unclear if the two incidents were connected, Tuolumne County Sheriff Jim Mele said he's been in contact with Stan-

islaus County Sheriff Adam Christianson and Mark Pazin, chief of the California Governor's Office of Emergency Services' law enforcement branch.

"We have to run out all of the information,because thisis getting to be pretty serious stufF when you're talking about your communication system being vandalized,"Mele said.

"Itappeared tobejusta straight up vandalism," he said.

Areas affected during the October incident ranged from Sonora to Yosemite National Park, and even portions of Arnold.

Emergency calls to the Sonora Police Department and county SherifFs Office had to be routed through outside counties. Sonora Regional Medical Center workers had to use a backupphone system forcommunication. Many ATMs were also disabled during the outage.

Some residents were reportedly without landline and Internet service for over six hours during the earlier incident in Tuolumne County. Certain types of calls &om cell phones were also disrupted, because cellphone calls are sometimes rout-

It can be about ranching, farming, merchants, or other historic themes from Tuolumne County during that era.

An historical theme in any medium in two or three dimensions is acceptable.

One participant painted a scene on canvas and affixed the canvas to the

The contest is open to people of all

The history center is seeking volunteers to help with the contest and is seeking prize donations for the winners.

It'salso a fundraiser for the history center and museum.

Libraries in Sonora and Tuolumne will offer the gold pan decorating project toarea children, and local schools have been invited to participate. About 200 pans have been given out so far, Lyons said.

tion 014, H.R. 303 would end the longstandingpractice of the government's withholding of military longevity retired pay in exchange for VA disabilit y compensation, regardless of disability rating.

DAV believes what is unfairfor a veteran rated 50 percent disabled orhigher by the VA is equally unfair for adisabled veteran rated 40 percentdisabled or lower.

Disabled military longevity retirees should not be penalized by the government for any reason.

Currently, H.R. 303 has bipartisan support. This legislation was referred to the House Committee on Armed Services, and in addition to the Committee on Veterans' Affairs for a period to be determined by the Speaker of the House.

Please use the prepared email at wwwvotervoice.net/ link/target/dav/JBtt285P3. aspx, or draft your own message, to request that your Representativesupport this important bill and ask that it be brought to the fioor for a vote and passed as soon as possible. Thank you for all that you do for veterans and their families. We need your grassrootsaction togain Congressional enactment of this important legislation.

Pan entries are due by May 31 but can be turned in up to the beginning of July. Earlier is better, so the fairgrounds will know how much space to give them, Lyons said.

The categories for entry are: Children, individuals, organizations, businessesand professional artists.People can votefortheirfavorite entriesatthe Mother Lode Fair and use their smart phones to vote using "QR" scannable codes.

If a business does not have someone to decorate the pan for them, the historicalsociety can suggest a localartist.

Last week, LeeNee Archer, of East Sonora, an artist who specializes in miniature replicas, was working on a gold pan for the Wild Rose, which sells locally made art and hosts art classes. Archer designed the pan like the Gunn House.

She made an historic-looking kitchen on one side and a hospital on the other, a nod toitsformer life as a sanitarium.

"The story behind the Gunn House is fascinating," Archer said.

For Archer's own entry, she designed a gold-panning scene in 3-D using styrofoam.

The artist's name and a brief explanation of the theme should be provided and will be included on the label.

Individuals can purchase a small gold pan for$10 to $15, medium for$25 or largefor$50 asa base forartwork from the History Center. The cost for organizations to participate is $25 and includes a pan and the cost for businesses is $50 and includes a pan.

Entries must be turned in by May 31.

Questions can be directed to Billie Lyons at the History Center at 5324227 or curatorOTCHistory. org or to Sarge Furman at 536-4909 or psarge% aol.com.

The History Center is at 158 Bradford St., Sonora.

The duo of PetersonWood and Skellenger once again made their presence felt, as Skellenger scored her second goal of the night, late in the second period. Neither team would beable to score before time expired, and they would have to settlefora tie.

"We came out in the second period and start playing a little better," Schultz said.

"It was really a tough, physical, hard fought game by both teams."

BRIEFS First hydrogen-fueled paae car to beused RICHMOND, Va — A hydrogen-fueled vehicie will lead the field at a NASCAR race for the first time when a 2016Toyota Mim serves as the pace car Saturday.

The midsize sedan uses no gasoline and emits only water vapor. The electric vehide is powered by hydrogen,refuels in about five

minutes and travels up to 300 miles on one tank. It goes on sale in California later this year, with expansion planned.

Ed Laukes, vice president of m arketing for Toyota Motor Sales U.S.A., said the manufachuer continues to use NASCAR as a vehide to"showcase our innovation and environmen-

tal leadership."

The Toyota Camry Hybrid was the first hybrid vehicle to pace a full NASCAR race when it was used at Charlotte in 2009.

NASCAR CEOwould like to make room for Busch inChase NEW YORK — NASCAR chairman B r i an France isn't sure if Kyle Busch will be granted a waiver to be part of the championship chase when he returns &om injury, but said Thursday the sanctioning body would like to "accommodate" him.

Busch broke his right leg and left foot in a crash into a concrete wall in the Xfinity Series race at Daytona International S peedway the day before the seasonopening Daytona 500.

He'll miss his ninth race this weekend at Richmond International Raceway, but has indicated he11 return to racing this season. The only way he'd be eligible to make the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship is if NASCAR grants him a waiver, and he wins a race

that would qualify him for the 16-driver field. He'd also have to be inside the top 30 in points.

Those are the rules under a Chase system France altered last year. It gives him more flexibility to grantexemptionstodrivers who miss races.

"Depends on when he comes back of course, but i61 be more likely than not that we're going to try to figure out how to accom-

modate him, which is the beauty of our playoff system," France said Thursday.

"What happened to him was on us," he said. 'We'll balance a lot of things at that point when we have to make a decision, but we're inclined to want to figure thatoutforsure."

Oakland gives up 2 hits in loss to Angels ANAHEIM (AP) — After the Oaldand Athletics' staff combined to throw a one-hitter and the ofFense pounded out eight hits against the Angels' stellar pitching, Bob Melvin couldn't find many reasons to be angry The managerfound ample reason to be &ustrated when a .500road trip had an improbable finish.

Nick Tropeano pitched fivehit ball into the seventh inning, and Kole Calhoun's tworun homer was Los Angeles' only hit in a 2-0 victory Thursday night.

Calhoun homered in the third, and four pitchers combined on an eight-hit shutout that allowed the Angels to salvage a split in the four-game series with their upstate AL West rivals.

"I can't remember the last

time we got beat by one hit," Melvin said.

Oakland hadn't lost a game while giving up only one hit since April 14, 1992, at Kansas City. Melvin was a backup catcher for the Royals that year.

Tropeano (1-0) was impressive in a spot start, yielding one walkand s~ out five less than 48 hours after learning he was headed to the majors.

He was nearly matched by Jesse Chavez (0-1), who gave up one hit and three walks in six innings during his first startoftheseason.

But that hit was costly: Calhoun drove a one-out pitch to right after Drew Butera reached on Brett Lawrie's throwing error.

"Ijusttried to crisscross in and out with him and try to let him get his hands extended,

but the ball was a little bit up," Chavez said."But you live and learn."

Chavez began the season in Oakland's bullpen, but largely mowed down the Angels in his return to the rotation. After the rocky third that included two walks, he retired his final nine batters.

"To giveup onehiton a moment's notice to make a start, I don't know how you can ask much more than that," Melvin sald.

Tropeano left to a standing ovation after Josh Reddick's leadoff single in the seventh.

Fernando Salas escaped the jam with two runners on, and Joe Smith narrowly got out of the eighth when Calhoun tracked down Reddick's drive to the right-field wall with two on.

Huston Street pitched the ninth for his fifth save, though

"I did some running, took some ground balls and took batting practice on the field," Zobrist said. "I think I ran up to about80 percent straight ahead. We didn't do a lot of cutting or anything like that.

I'm encouraged by the way it felt today. I don't know yet what the plan is ... but the big thing is, how is it going to feel when I get up tomorrow? If it feels sore, we may need to just kind of evaluate as the day goes on."

Up next Athletics: Scott Kam& (20, 1.33 ERA) takes the mound

single. Collin Cowgill made a sprinting catch in foul territory to end a &ustrating day for Oakland, which finished 5-5 on its road trip.

The Angels didn't have a baserunner after the third inning, but won with just one hit for the third time in &anchise history, the first since June 16, 1986.

'Two runs, but that's all the pitching staff needed," Calhoun said.'That's huge for us.

Today is really all about the pitching staff" SHORT RETURN Ben Zobrist fouled out to end the game, also ending his 18-game hitting streak against the Angels.

Heyward-Bey seventh overall, three

spotsbefore Crabtree went to the San Francisco 49ers.

Crabtreehas proven to be better than Heyward-Bey, who was cut after four ineffective years in Oakland.

But he said he never thought much about what would have happened had hecome toOakland then.

"When youget drafted by a team you focus on that team,"he said."You don't focus on the guys that miss you and all the other stuK I'm here now.

Can't wait to play."

The Raiders have been in need of help at receiver for years. Oakland hasn't had a player top 1,000 yards receiving in a season since Randy Moss did it in 2005.

James Jones led the team last season with 73 catches but gained only 666yards,an average ofjust 9.1 yards per catch. Oakland has

not added another receiver yet this offseasondespite a glaring need for playmakers to help quarterback Derek Carr.

Crabtree has proven he can be thattype of elite receiver.His best season came in 2012 when he had 85 catches for 1,105 yards and nine touchdowns while helping San Francisco make it to the Super Bowl.

"He brings sure hands, the ability to separate and catch the ball," Del Rio said."He's got a few skins on the wall so to speak. He's played in big games. He's made big catches. He's had really significant production in the first six years ofhis career."

But Crabtree tore his Achilles tendon the following o8'season and was limitedto 19 catches for284 yardsin five games in 2013. Crabtree had 68 catchesfor698 yards andfourtouch-

Thompson scored on a 3-point play, and Curry then hit back-toback 3-pointers, but the Pelicans on Dante Cunningham's dunk pushed the leadto 89-69 at the end ofthe third.

But Curry after re-entering the game in the fourth combined with Shaun Livingston to bring the Warriors back. Harrison Barnes cut the deficit to eight points by throwing down a thunderous putback dunk with 3:35 left. A Livingston tip-in followed by a Green offensive rebound and putback made it105101 with 1:40 left.

Livingston drew a foul going for an offensive rebound and hit a free throw with 21.3 seconds left. Curry hit his fifth 3-pointer of the game with 11.8 seconds to cut the lead to

The Pelicans left a crack open aiter dominating for most of the game when Anthony Davis missed a free throw with 9.6 seconds left, giving the Warriors a chance to tie it with a 3-pointer.

Of course the ball went to Curry, and the NBA's all-time singleseason record-holder in such shots missed his first try. Given a second try off a Marreese Speights offensive rebound, Curry threw up some magic from the corner opposite the Pelicans' bench. Curry pumped his fists after Tyreke Evans' 3-point at-

Klay Thompson added 28 points, including six 3-pointers of his own.

Draymond Greenadded 12 points, 17 rebounds and five assists the day he learned he finished second in the Defensive Player of the Year award voting.

Davis poured in 29 points, and Ryan Anderson added 26 off the bench, but it wasn't enough. The Warriors can sweep the series with another win in New Orleans on Saturday.

The Warriors tried to rally back in the second half after Curry cut the deficit to nine by hitting three straight free throws, including one

downs last season, when he had the sixth-lowest yards per catch of any wide receiver at 10.3.

Crabtree said he feels much healthier this season and is excited about joining a new offense that promisesto befast-paced.

"It's football. I think my skill set fits in football, period," he said.

"Catch the ball, first downs, touchdowns.As a receiver your job is to catch the ball. I think I do that. I'm all right."

Notes: Del Rio said the Raiders had 100 percent attendance for the voluntary minicamp, although a few players were unable to practice because of injuries: LB Sio Moore, DT Dan Williams, LB Miles Burris, WR Brice Butler, TE Nick Kasa and RB Taiwan Jones.

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 566-4546 or e-mail orebau h©uniondemocrat.com

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,eitherofwhich 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.

Mental health doctors can be important for care DEAR DR. ROACH: I just read your column regarding KV.'s concerns about anxiety and sleep disturbance.

I take issue with your advice that she go backto her primary doctor.Ifa patient had cancer, would you send him or herto a generalpractitioner or an oncologist? Anyone needing help with medication for issues such as anxiety shouldbe directed to a psychiatristor a certified nurse practitioner with experi; isein psychotropicdrugs.They are the clinicians who have the experience

needed to help patients take the correctmedications atthe correct dosage.

Many people won't go to a psychiatrist because they are under the false assumption that only really mentally ill peoplegotopsychiatrists.

With your column, you have a great opportunity to educate people. Please use itto direct people to the correct clinician so they can get the help they need. Thanks for listening.— B.C. ANSWER: I both agree and disagree with you. A specialist is not always the best clinician for medical and psychiatric illnesses. There are many conditions for which specialists provide

However, there are many conditions for which the primary care physician is the best clinician, and studies have shown that for some conditions, specialistcare addscostbutdoesnotim prove outcome.

In thecase of psychiatric care,the data are pretty clear that psychiatrists and mental health professionals in general (including psychologists, clinical social workers, clinical mental health counselors and advance practice nurs-

es) are more likely to correctly diagnose the condition. Further, most patients prefer counseling to medication as their

initialtherapy,and most primary care doctorslack training in effective counseling. Thus, they lose an important part of the armamentarium. On the

lems thus far, the fact that you have these antibodies makes it more likely that you could develop Hashimoto's disease.

Hashimoto's usually starts off with a temporaryperiod ofhavingtoomuch thyroid hormone (hyperthyroidism, though it's oiten unrecognized), followed by a prolonged period ofbeing hypothyroid (not enough hormone, which is usually treated with thyroxine, a replacement thyroid hormone).

Many people will come back to normal eventually, but we often keep people on replacementthyroid dosesforlife.

Since you have a higher-than-average risk, I would recommend that you pay careful attention to the signs of thyroid disease, especially hypothyroidism, which include but certainly are not limited to low energy, constipation, dry skin, coarse or thinning hair, brittle nails and shortness ofbreath with exercise. These should prompt a look at your son with autoimmune thyroid disease, thyroid hormone levels. especially Hashimoto's thyroiditis.

Todayin history Today is Friday, April 24, the 114th day of 2015. There are 251 days left in the year.

Today's Highlight ln Hlstory: On April 24, 1915, what's regarded as the start of the Armenian genocide began as the Ottoman Empire rounded up Armenian political and cultural leaders in Constantinople.

On this date: In 1916, some 1,600 Irish nationalists launched the Easter Rising by seizing several key sites in Dublin.

(The rising was put down by British forces almost a week later.)

In 1962, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology achieved the first satellite relay of a television signal, using NASA's Echo 1 balloon satellite to bounce a video image from Camp Parks, California, to Westford, Massachusetts.

In 1970, the People's Republic of China launched its first satellite, which kept transmitting a song, "The East ls Red." In 1980, the United States launched an unsuccessful attempt to free the American hostages in lran, a mission that resulted in the deaths of eight U.S. servicemen. ln 1986, Wallis, Duchess of Windsor, for whom King Edward Vlll had given up the British throne, died in Paris at age 89. ln 1990, the space shuttle Discovery blasted off from Cape Canaveral, Florida, carrying the $1.5 billion Hubble Space Telescope. ln 1995, the final bomb linked to the Unabomber exploded inside the Sacramento, California, offices of a lobbying group for the wood products industry, killing chief lobbyist Gilbert B. Murray. (Theodore Kaczynski was later sentenced to four lifetimes in prison for a series of bombings that killed three men and injured 29 others.)

Agnes de Mille, a former dancer and choreograEast pher, said, "Living is a form of not being sure, not 473 knowing what next or how.... We guess. We may V A98 6 4 3 be wrong, but we take leap after leap in the dark."

At the bridge table, we do have to guess occasionally, but more often there are sufficient clues to make the right choice clear.

In today's deal, cover the South and West V Q J5 hands. South is in four spades. West leads the t A heart two. How should East plan the defense'?

In the auction, West used the Unusual No4 Q 10 4 3 trump, showing at least 5-5 in the two lowestranking unbid suits: clubs and diamonds. North Vulnerable: North-South just blasted into four spades, hoping that if the South West N orth E a st opponents sacrificed in five clubs, partner would be able to double.

14 2NY 44 All P a ss When West leads the heart two, East knows that it is either a singleton or from three cards. When Opening lead:1 2 you face an either-or position like this, usually the bidding will tell you which it is.

Here, if West started with 0-3-5-5, South would have began with an unlikely 7-1-1-4. If West held 2-1-5-5, though, South would have 5-3-1-4, which is much more probable.

So, East wins the first trick and (tries to) give his partner a heart ruff at trick two. And because East's potential re-entry is in clubs, the lower-ranking of the other two side suits, he carefully leads his heart three, which sends a so-called suit-preference signal.

Now the pressure is on West. After ruffing at trick two, he must trust his partner and shift to a low club. East will win with his king and deliver a second heart ruff to defeat the contract.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — An outbreak of canine flu has sickened more than 1,000 dogs in the Midwest, killing a handful and stirring concern among animal lovers nationwide that the highly contagious virus will sideline their pets.

Experts blame the epidemic on a strain called H3N2 that is seen in Asia and leaves pets f eeling lousy for a bout t w o weeks.

V eterinarians b elieve t h e strain, which doesn't yet have a vaccine, will likely spread to other parts of the country, so they offer ways to keep pets healthy or help those that are already ill.
