Nuptul Tenpei Nyima Rinpoche will lead a spiritual ceremony Saturday.

A Tibetan Buddhist leader is in Sonora for a spiritual ceremony Saturday thatwillalso serve as a fundraiser for rural villagers in Nepal impacted by recent earthquakes. Nuptul Tenpei Nyima Rinpoche, 30, is a Tibetan Buddhist lama and abbot

of theSerang Gompa monastery in the Nepalese Himalayas, near the border with Tibet. He's friends with Sonora couple Peggy Dylan and Steve Brougher, who will host the ceremony and fundraiser at their home off Woodham Carne Road. uI was invited by Momma Peggy," Nuptul said in a Wednesday interview. "One of the reasons I'm here is to raise

funds for my village in Nubri, Nepal." A devastating magnitude-7.8 earthquake struck Nepal shortly before noon on April 25, killing more than 8,000 people and completely destroying about 600,000 homes.

Two of three juvenile girls arrested last week in connectionto a reported robbery and stabbing at a Jamestown home in May will be tried as adults, District Attorney Laura Krieg said. Many factorsare considered by the court when determining whether to try a juvenile as an adult, Krieg said. A closed-door hearing was held Wednesday. "We look at what age the juvenile is, the degree of criminal sophistication, whether or not there are juvenile programs that could counsel the juvenile facing charges, what kind of prior cases the juvenile has been involved in and whether or not it seems appropriate overall," Krieg said. The juveniles names and the charges they face have not yet been released.

OUR VIEW

ea osemi eaccien s e ues ions The tragic May deaths of two extreme athletes in a BASE jumping accident in Yosemite National Park, and the death last week of a climber on El Capitan, begged an editorial. But what to say? Be careful? An obvious point of contention is the cost to taxpayers when accidents involving extreme sports happen — thousands of dollars, which are almost never collected except in the case of fines for legal violations issued by a judge. After some thought, our position? • Such accidents are rare. • They' re tragic. • It's impossible and not particularly desirable to ban extreme sports like climbing in the park. This just drives people, like BASE jumpers, who are banned in the park, underground where they may not follow rules or seek assistance. Too, it deprives people of freedom to enjoy parks. • It's unrealistic to collect huge debts from people who are badly injured or dead, their grieving relatives, or their insurance companies which don' t usuallycover extreme sporting accidents. Besides,these extreme athletes do,in fact,pay for their mistakes — either with injuries or their lives. What do you think? We'd like to hear with a letter. Write: lettersOuniondemocrat.corn, or mail to 84 S. Washington St., Sonora, CA 95370. Climbers in January tackle the Dawn Wall in Yosemite National Park.

The practice is outrageous, and a new bill before Congress would bar noncompetecontractsforjobspaying less than $15 an hour. Introduced by Sen. Al Franken, D-Minn., and Rep. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., the legislation is aptly named the MOVE Act, which stands for the Mobility and Opportunity for Vulnerable Employees Act. The need for such protections is truly a sign of these times. It refiects the increasingly skewed balance of power favoring top dogs over their delivery truck drivers. Hotshot execs keep telling us that their companies have to pay them a zillion dollars an hour to attract rare talent such as theirs. You know, the supply and demand thing.When brilliant execs themselves are in short supply, you have to pay more for them.

these workers from seeking better compensation at rival companies. Originally designed to stop tech whizzes &om taking company secrets to higher bidders, these noncompete agreements are being forcedon workers loading boxes at warehouses or assembling sandwiches so that they can't go to the warehouse or sandwich shop down the block. Such agreements have been challenged at Jimmy John's sandwich franchiseand Subway, among others. According to The HuSngton Post, the Jimmy John's contract forbids an employee to work at any company making more than 10 percent of revenues nfrom selling submarine, hero-type, deli-style, pita and/or wrapped or rolled sandwich-

So here you have guys making $15 an hour and doing a goodenough job that a company across town might pay them$17 an hour to do the same thing, but they can't go. Rather than give them a raise, employers wave these agreements workers had to sign as a condition of being hired. Lower-skilled workers rarely challenge them, although they can. (The employer has to demonstrate that the workerscould expose privileged information to its competitors.) Some companiesare paying off

former employers to get higherskilled workers out of noncompete agreements. California has virtually banned all types of them. Over 19 million workers are now covered by such contracts, according to aworking paper by Evan Starrat the University of Illinois and Norman Bishara and James J. Prescott?, both at the University of Michigan. For obvious reasons, knowledgeintensive positions are likeliest to come with noncompete agreements. But thepaper found that over 10 percentof repair jobs also require nnoncompetes,n as do 11 percent of jobs in production (tailors, machine operators) and nearly 12 percent in personalservices (barbers, gym instructors, manicurists). Noncompete agreements do reduce worker turnover, an expense

for businesses. But so do higher wages and superior working conditions. Companies demand these agree-

ments because, why not? Only 10 percentofjob applicants try to negotiate for higher pay in return for accepting restrictions on their ability to seek employment elsewhere, according to the working paper. Those with more ordinary skills are assumed tobe less combative and more accepting of whatever they' re offered. They just want the job. They may get the job, but it' s one with rather tight strings. The MOVE Act would cut the strings for those lower down the pay scale. If it passed, many employers wanting to keep their most prized workers would have to do it the old-fashioned way — bypaying them more.

This, of course, is to shift the blame to the doctorifhe or she prescribes it. Then comes the printed disclaimer, always in fine print, flashed on the screen so fasteven a speed reader would have trouble reading it. I will sum it up. It basically says," We don't really handle these cases, we farm them out to other attor-

neys but we still get half of any settlement." All of this reminds me of the comedy movie, "Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?" Winston Churchill once said, "In the end, Americans will always get it right, but only after they have tried everything else." I am still waiting for us to be finished with trying everything else.

First step taken to regulate medical marijuana S ACRAMENTO (AP ) — California took the first step Thursday to regulate its nearly 20-year-old medical marijuana industry, one that lawmakers said currently resembles something out of the "wild, wild West." Lawmakers in the Senate and Assembly passed separatebills attempting to set up state regulations that will pass muster with the federal Department of Justice. The bills were among dozens of pieces of legislation advancing through the Legislature Thursday as lawmakers faced a Friday deadline to move bills out

of their house of origin. After a heated discussion, the California Senate advanced a right-to-die bill that would allow terminally ill patients to end their lives under doctor's care. The state Senate passed the measure 23-14, sending it to the Assembly, amid a national conversation on the issue that sparked effortsto do the same in 24

State ballot measure would cut gov't spending on public pensions SAN DIEGO (AP) — A proposed ballot measure unveiled Thursday would aim to reduce government pension spending for state and local employees in the nation's most populous state by requiring voters to approve new benefits. Former San Diego Councilman Carl DeMaio and former San Jose Mayor Chuck Reed will try to tap the same sense of unease that led voters in those cities to approve pension-cutting plans in 2012. Their measure would apply to state, county and city employees throughout California, as well as public schools and universities and otherlocalboards and agencies. The campaign could become the latest high-profile showdown over taxpayerfunded retirement funds. Supporters say

pension liabilities will keep libraries closed, leave potholes unfilled and deprive residents of key public services. Opponents say the cost-cutting measures deprive workers of rights gained at the bargaining table and make crucial jobs less attractive to potential recruits. The proposal would require voters to approve defined benefits for new hires and pension increases for existing workers. Voters also would have to green-light a government that pays more than half of pension contributions for new hires. ''We' re not making the decision on what type of plan will be implemented," said DeMaio, now a San Diego radio host. "We' re simply saying, going forward, voters will have aseat atthetable."

to the wild West, and that is what this bill is trying to move away from," said Assemblyman Rob Bonta, DAlameda. "I think that we can allagree that stronger regulation is needed ... and is long overdue." California was the f i r st

state, in 1996, to legalize the sale of marijuana for medical use, but has since fallen behind the rest of the nation, said Assemblyman Reginald Jo n es-Sawyer, D-Los Angeles. Colorado, Washington, Oregon and Alaska have recently legalized recreationalpot use to varying degrees.

Plumber wants to work after lotto win NEW YORK — A Staten Island plumber who won a $136 million Powerball jackpot said Thursday he wants to keep working — but also plans to "relax a little more." Anthony Perosi, 56, le his March 14 ticket pinned to the wall behind a basement pipe for six weeks. A friend had told him where the winning ticket had been purchased, but she thought a teacher had won. So he took his time checking the numbers, which he'd chosen randomly. "When I saw all the numbers matched up, I panicked," Perosi said. "I immediately called my son and asked him to come over right away!" A nthony Perosi II I d i d what he was told. "I couldn't believe what I was seeing," said the 27-yearold. "I checked the numbers on my phone and it has been surreal ever since." The cash value of the ticket came to $88.5 million. The father decided to share his winnings with his son, split 70-30. So dad gets a net lump sum of $38.6 million after required withholdings, and son pockets $16.5 million.

Administration adv i sers voted 18-6 in favor of Sprout Pharmaceutical's daily pill, flibanserin, on the condition that the company develops a plan to manage its risks. The recommendation is a major vict ory for a drug sometimes hailed as "female Viagra," but which has been plagued for years by concerns of lackluster effectiveness and safety issues. The FDA has rejectedthe drug twice since 2010. And a similar panel of FDA experts voted unanimously against the drug five years ago. Thursday's vote is nonbinding but the FDA often follows the advice of its experts. An oi5cial decision is expected in August.

Global warming not slowing down

WASHINGTON — Global warming has not stopped or even slowed in the past 18 years, according to a new federal study that rebuts doubters who've claimed that heating trends have paused. Scientists at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration readjusted thousands of weather data points to account for different measuring techniques through the decades.

In a recent case disclosed by the IRS, hackers appear to have obtained tax return information by posing as taxpayers, using personal information gleaned from previous commercial breaches, said Rick Holland, an information security analyst at Forrester Research. "Given what OPM does around security clearances, and the level of detail they acquire when doing these investigations, both on the subjects ofthe investigations and their contacts and references, it would be a vast amount of information," Holland added.

The district relies mainly on a set of pumps that fioat on a barge on Lake McClure, one of the lowest-level reservoirs in the state. Recent storms, snowmelt and reduced outfiow requirements at McClure have raised the reservoir level more than 20 feet since March, easing some of the strain on the district. But concerns remain as district staff seek alternatives, including the drilling of emergency wells to supplement limited water they can draw from McClure. At the last Lake Don Pedro CSD board meeting in May, the board discussed the possibility of restricting residents from drilling more wells in

the district because they could impact the district's emergency wells. District staff said in a brief report that during recent drilling of eight test wells and pump testing at one well, they discovered wells in some areas are interconnected and drawing from shared sources. "Additional wells being drilled in the district during this ongoing drought may cause depletion of our emergency wells, at a time when we may be relying solely on groundwater to meet the human consumption, fire protection and sanitation needs of the community," Lake Don Pedro CSD General Manager Pete Kampa said in the report.

McClure was holding 130,836 acre-feetas of Thursday, about 13 percent of its capacity.District officials believe the district's fioating pumps at McClure can be counted on to produce water until the end of October.

Adding to the Cavs' frustration, point guard Kyrie Irving limped to the locker room after aggravatinghis troublesome left knee in overtime. He did not return. With Kevin Love already out, the Cavs obviously need Irving. He missed two games in the Eastern Conference finals because of knee and foot injuries and sounded unsure of his status for Game 2 on Sunday in Oakland. Warriors coach Steve Kerr said he hopes Irving is able to play the remainder of the series. "I mean that," Kerr said. 'You probably don't believe me, but I mean that."

UFC signs off on new extensive drug tests (AP) — The UFC is partnering with the U.S. AntiDoping Agency for a landmark drug testing program in the mixed martial arts promotion. USADA will i ndependently administer multiple year-round, unannounced tests to the UFC's fighters when the program begins July 1, the promotion announced. Fighters will be subject to multiyear suspensionsfor even a fi rstfail-

After years of relying on government agencies to help monitor its fighters in a sport notorious for performance-enhancing drug use, the UFC is paying unspecified millions to turn over the responsibility to USADA. The UFC's new policies also include heavy sanctions for steroid use: A suspension between one

and four years for a first offense depending on circumstances, along with a possibleeight-year ban for a second offense and a possible lifetime ban for a third violation.

BRIEFS Assembly approves chewing tobaacobill SACRAWENTO (AP)The California Assembly has approved legislation that would ban the use of chewing tobacco at California ballparks. Lawmakers approved AB768 by Assemblyman Tony Thurmond, a Richmond Democrat, on a 4225 vote Thursday. Thurmond says the bill would ensure that children would not see their professional baseball heroes using smokeless tobacco during ball games. The legislation is part of an effort this year by the Campaign for TobaccoFree Kids based in Washington, D.C. It also targeted the city of San Francisco, which became the first city in the nation to outlaw chewing tobacco on playing fields last month. It i n cludes AT&T Park, home to the San Francisco Giants. Thurmond's bill originally called for a ban on e-cigarettes as well, but it was modified. The legislation advances to the state Senate.

Detroit's trouble. The Tigers have lost seven in a row for the first time since April 26 to May 2, 2011, according to STATS. That was the year they began their currentstreak offourconsecutive AL Central titles. "Everythmg is under a microscope when you are losing like this, but there has been no change to our daily routine and no change in the guys' attitudes," second baseman Ian Kinsler said. "We come ready to play but right now the ball is not rolling in our direction." Detroit has not lost more than seven straight since an eight-game skid in 2005. Oakland's three-run second inning set the tone Thursday.

keep a good thing going, eager to bounce back from losing his last outing Saturday against Atlanta. He is 5-3 and was 4-0 over five starts until that defeat. "I trynot to take it as a lump sum, look at it as a whole," he said of moving forward each time. There have been ample opportunities to celebrate small

strides. He is getting through the heart of opponents' orders, like when he struck out Marlins slugger Giancarlo Stanton with the bases loaded to end the fifth inning in a

win against the Marlins last month. That sparked the right-hander to pump his right arm in triumph and yell. He had a 23-inning scoreless streak at home that the Braves ended. Giants manager Bruce Bochy said &om the moment last season ended that Lincecum would begin 2015 back in the rotation. He was relegated to a bit relief role as San Francisco captured its third World Series in five years. "I saw it last year," Bochy said of Lincecum finding his form. "He has that ability to pitch the way he's pitching. The guy's won two Cy Youngs. You' re saying, 'OK,

it's not quite the same.' Last year he had a run of four or five starts where he was

pitching the way he's pitching right now. Knock on wood he continues that. I'm not surprised.It's a case these guys have the experience and savvy to go with. The stuff may not quite be the same but they' resm arter,too." Before Game 2 of the World

Series last fall, Lince curn hadn't pitched since Sept. 28. He wasn't used in relief during the NL Division Series against Washington or the NLCS versus St. Louis. That was a big change. Lincecum, who turns 31 on

June 15, pitched the Game 5 World Series clincher at Texas and was a key reliever

the Americans haven't won the title since they hosted the 1999 tournament, when Mia Hamm, Brandi Chastain and the rest of the star-studded roster made the women' s team so popular in this country.

III Williams comes back again at French Open to reach final PARIS (AP) — At changeovers in her French Open semifinal, an ill Serena Williams walked ever so slowly to the sideline, where even lowering herself to sit seemed difficult.

With the temperature nearing 85 degrees (30 Celsius), she pressed white towels filled with ice against her forehead and neck and guzzled water.

Early on, her play was as poor as her health. She failed to chase balls she normally would. As telling as anything: On those occasions when she did win points, Williams mostly re&ained &om her familiar fist pumps and yells of "Come on!" Never can count her out, though,

no matter the circumstances. Down a set and a break Thursday, and clearly not herself, Williams summoned the resolve to reach the final

by beating23rd-seeded Timea Bacsinszky of Switzerland 4-6, 6-3, 6-0. After getting broken to fall behind 3-2 in the second set, Williams

claimed the final 10 games. She had a 12-2 edge in winners in the final set. "Stunning," said Williams' coach, Patrick Mouratoglou. "This is the difference between champions and everyone else. There is no logical explanation." Mouratoglou sai d t h e No. 1-ranked Williams has been dealing for several days with the flu, including a fever and difficulty breathing. Williams skipped her news conference — something sister Venus did aRer losing last week, drawing a $3,000 fine — and issued a statement reading: "I have been feeling unwellfor a few days,and ...Ineed-

I tried. I found the energy. I don' t know where, but I found it. And I won. I hope that on Saturday, I hope ..." Cutting herself oA; she stepped away &om the microphone, bent over and began coughing. She offered a quick wave, collected her things and left. Off the court, she got a hug &om Mouratoglou,who helped her down stairs toward the lockerroom. "I was worried," said Williams' mother, Oracene Price. "But I knew if she could get through the second set, somehow maybe the adrenaline and Godwould help hergetthrough the match." Next comes Williams' 24th Grand ed to see the tournament doctor."

Williams won her semifinal despite dropping the first set for the fourth time in six matches. She' d never fashioned that many comebacks during one major tournament. When this one was over, finally over, Williams leaned forward and rested her head on her hands atop the handle of her upside-down racket. Bacsinszky — who said she noticed Williams "was taking some time between points" but tried to focus on herself — was asked how her own mistakes contributed to the result. 'Vile say in French If we could put Paris in a bottle.' Like, I could say, 'If, if, if. If my forehand was in. If I would maybe choose another tactic,"' Bacsinszky said. Bacsinszky wiped away tears as she left the court, her magical run abruptly done. She never had been past the second round in Paris — or the third round at any major. Two years ago, she took a hiatus

&om tennis to work at restaurants with an eye toward pursuing a degree in hotel management. Last year, she was ranked 112th and w ent through qualifying at t h e French Open. This year, equipped with a dangerous backhand and an affinity for drop shots, Bacsinszky beat twotime Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova in the fourth round and lost a tournament-low 33 games entering Thursday. She was 7-0 in her French Open career when taking the first set. Ah, but none of those matches came against Williams. When the going gets toughest, no one is better than Williams at the moment — and, perhaps, in the history of the game. In 2015, she is 31-1, including 11-0 in three-setters. If she defeats Safarova, the 33-year-old American would add to her 2002 and 2013 French Open titles and collect a third consecutive major championship.

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

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

DEAR ANNE: We are a married senior citizen couple who don't understand why "No One ToShare This With" is so upset that her husband watches pornography. Maybe he is just watching the wrong kind of pornography. My wife and I often watch X-rated videos that we make ourselves. We start by jointly writing a script, and then we get into costume, set up a videocamera on a tripod,and actout our roles until we are exhausted from great sex. Our hobby is a lot of fun.

A diet based mostly on plants is right for many DEAR DR. ROACH:I had a heart attack a year ago. My wife and other people have told me that I can eat anything I want, as long as I eat in moderation. What do you say? —C.F. ANSWER: It depends on what you mean by "moderation." I would recommend a diet based mostly on plants, with the option of adding whole grains, fish, nuts, fruits and lean meat sources, such as skinless chicken. I would urge moderation (in this case, I mean eaten veryrarely)forless-healthy food choices, such as highly processed foods and those with high sugar content. I would recommend zero intake of trans-saturatedfats(which,fortunately,are leaving the food supply, though not quickly enough).

DEAR DR ROACH: A few weeks ago while bathing, I discovered a dark, stiff material looking like a twig in my belly button. Is this common? — L.E. ANSWER: The skin inside your belly button can secrete small amounts of oil (called sebum) which, when mixed with deadskincells,can form a solid mass. These are not bothersome, but are predisposed tobecome inflamed orinfected. Cleaning the area takes some time and patience. Starting after a bath is a goodidea,since the watercan soften and loosen the material. A cold cream or baby oil also can help dissolve the materialover6veto 15minutesorso.I'd recommend gentle cleansing with a warm washcloth. It's a sensitive area, so don' t overscrub, or it will become irritated. If this advice doesn't work, by all means showitto your doctor or a dermatologist. Readersmay write Dr. Roach, MD., at PO.

South has two possible club losers. I-le could take two club finesses; the raaheerticians will tell you that this will hold the Openinglead:4 Q club losers to one 76 percent of the time. But it would be better to have a 100 percent line. How about this approach? Win with the spade ace, ruff a spade high, play a diamond to dummy's 10 (noting that both opponents follow suit), ruff the last spade, cash the heart ace, lead the heart four to dummy's king, and play a club to the jack. Yes, West wins with his queen, but what does he do next? If he leads a club, it is away from his king into South's ace-10 tenace. Or, if West returns a spade or heart, declarer ruffs in the dummy and discards his club 10. It is a textbook elimination and endplay.
