Council looks at expediting solar-system permits PUBLIC MEETING: Sonora City Council, 5 p.m. Monday, City Hall, at 94 N. Washington St. By ALEX MacLEAN The Union Democrat

Anyone wishing to install solarpanels on their homes in the City of Sonora might soon find the process a bit easier. The Sonora City Council on Monday will vote on approving an expeditedpermitting process for small, residential solar-energy systems, including electricity and thermal.

why you guys are getting this," Sonora Community Development Director Rachelle Kellogg told the council when the ordinance was introduced at a June 15 meeting. A 2013 law signed by Gov. Jerry Brown requires cities throughout the state to have an expedited processforapproving residentialsolarenergysystems in placeby Sept.30. The law applies to systems small-

Here's a spectacle almost as mind-blowing as a 4th of July fireworks finale.

In Calaveras County, more than half-dozen star-spangled wood-and-cardboard stands dotting roadsides this past week have been selling "Safe and Sane "fireworks — sparklers, poppers, fountains and other fun fiammables. This has actually been practice for years, but what's surprising is it's allowed even during one of the driest summers on record in the Central Sierra, and, subsequently, one of the most hazardous in terms of wildfire. For some history: Calaveras County and the City of AngelsCamp have allowed fi reworks deemed "Safeand Sane" by the state Fire Marshal to be sold for decades. This is despitethe factthat,even in normal-precipitation years,the county is hot, heavily vegetated, and just waiting to burn. (A moratorium on sales is not unprecedented: They were banned in the county during the 1977 drought). The reason, broadly speaking, is a lack of political will when confronted by nonprofit groups that sell the items, including school groups and youth sports leagues. Yet, the danger posed even by supposedly safe fireworks hasn't been lost on a handful of agencies operating in Calaveras County. The Ebbetts Pass Fire Protection District, which serves the Highway 4 corridor east of Murphys, and the Stanislaus National Forest ban their use. In neighboring Tuolumne County, fireworks sales and possession have been banned for decades. They are also illegal in the City of Sonora. A violation of the county ordinance against fireworks is a misdemeanor and punishable by a fi ne and up to a year in jail. To Angels Camp's credit, the city does steer firework fans toward the Bret Harte High School parking lot each July 4 (6 to 10 p.m.) for a safe place to set oA'fireworks with firefighters on standby. Has aban in Tuolumne County and Sonora cramped anyone's style? Deputy Tuolumne County Administrator Maureen Frank said she couldn't recall a time, in her 20 years with the county government, when any person or group has petitioned the county for legalization. Perhaps 15 years ago, she said, there was a push in the city, but that went nowhere. Common sense prevailed. Independence Day 2015 is past, but we suggest the Calaveras County Board of Supervisors and Angels Camp City Council this year or next reexamine their policies and decide whether the risks outweigh the potential rewards. Particularly so if 2016 turns out to be another drought year.

POLL QUESTION This week's poll question is: Should fireworks be legal in Sic@afoothill counties? • Yes, they' re fun and safe if used properly. • Yes, but not in drought years. • No, the fire risk is too great. The results from last week's poll question: Would you buy a self-driving car? • No, I won't ever trust the technology............... • No, I worry about government control............ • Yes, but only if drivers around me are too...... • Yes, I hate driving...............................................

Vergara, to refresh memories, is the ruling by a previously obscure Los Angeles County Superior Court judge that would essentially throw out Calif ornia's teacher tenure system an d

School districts always have had the power to dismiss those who do not measure up." Challenger Marshall Tuck, former chiefof a large charter schools company, responded that "Kids should not have to sue to get a quality education." He decried the fact that teachers, who can get tenure after two years on the job, often are assured they' ll win that status within only 16 months of starting work, in his view not nearly long enough for them to prove they' re worthy of a lifetime sinecure. But after the bombast of the campaign season, the controversy over Vergara — which can't be acted on until and unless it survives all legal appeals — disappearedfor about six

tests. Democratic critics, many of whose

campaigns areunion-funded, claimed these changes would "crumble the central pillar of teacher job security." They also charged the changes would deprive teachers of due process. Since Democrats enjoy strong majorities in b oth l egislative houses, these bills had little chance of passage and were deep-sixed quickly, not likely to be seen again until after the next statewideelection, atthe earliest. This means the Vergara case, filed

Appeals by Brown and Torlakson are stillactive, and the state' s two largest teacher unions joined them in May, claiming Vergara "was never about students."

Said California Teachers Association President Dean Vogel, "During two months of trial, (the students') attorneys failed to produce a single pupil who had ever been harmed by these (existing) laws, while teachers, principals, school board members, superintendents and nationally recognized policyexperts offered dozens ofexamples of how these laws have helped ... millions of California students." One essential claim of Vergara opponents is that easing tenure rules could render teachers subjectto political threats. Said 15-year kindergarten teacher Erin Rosselli, current teacher of the year from Orange County, "These laws ensure Iwon't be fired or laid off for arbitraryreasons or in retribution for standing up for kids..." Lines are hard and resolute on both sides of the tenure/firing issue. And because most current stateappellate

judges were appointed by Democratic governors, it's very likely the Vergara time bomb will be defused long before its intended explosive effect is ever felt.

One proposal declared seniority could nolonger be the sole factor determining who is laid off when times get tough.

Another measure from Assemblym an Rocky Chavez, of Oceanside,now a Republican candidate for U.S. senator,would have added a year to the time a teacher needs to work before getting tenure.

'General Lee' Confederate flag to be removed WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.Va.

The two-time Masters champ said Friday he' ll replace it with the U.S. flag on the roof of the "General Lee 01." Confederate symbols have been the focus of debate since nine people were killed June 17 at an African-American church in Charleston,

South Carolina. Authorities say the accused gunman had posed in photographs with the Confederate battle flag. Watson said after his round at The Greenbrier Classic in West Virginia that his decision "was the right gesture for me to do." He also said the American flag sends a statement that everyone is "created equal." An Illinois-based auto museum offered Friday to buy the car as-is from Watson.

0 s ootin sus ect SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A man suspected in the shooting death of a woman at a busy San Francisco tourist destination has seven felony convictions and has been deported five times, most recently in 2009, a federalagency said Friday. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement had turned Francisco Sanchez over to San Francisco police March 26 on an outstanding drug warrant, agency spokeswoman Virginia Kice said. Officers arrested Francisco Sanchez about an hour after Wednesday's seemingly random slaying of Kathryn Steinle at Pier 14 — one of the busiest attractions in the city. People gather there to take in the views, joggers exercise, and families push strollers at all hours. S anchez was on probation for a n

un-

specified conviction, police Sgt. Michael Andraychak said Thursday. Kice said ICE issued a detainer for Sanchez in March, requesting to be notified if he was going to be released. The detainer was not honored, she said.

Freya Horne, counsel for the sheriff's office, said Friday that federal detention orders are nota "legal basis" to hold someone, so Sanchez was released April 15. San Francisco is a sanctuary city and local money cannot be spent to cooperate with federal immigration law.

The city does not turn over people who are in the country illegally unless there's an active warrant for their arrest, she said. Horne said they checked and found none. ICE could have issued an active warrant if they wanted the city to keep him, she said. "It's not legal to hold someone on a request to detain. This is not just us. This is a widely adoptedposition,"H orne said. Steinle was gunned down while out for an evening stroll with her father along the waterfront. Police said witnesses heard no argu-

ment or dispute before the shooting, suggesting it was a random attack. Liz Sullivan told the San Francisco Chronicle the killing of her daughter was unbelievable and surreal. "I don't think I' ve totally grasped it," Sullivan said

Who's 3ohn 3ay?Scholars urge new look at forgotten American founder KATONAH, N.Y. (AP) — The inner circle of founders has been set for as long as anyone can remember — Washington, Jefferson, Adams, Franklin, Hamilton and Madison. Almost never mentioned is John Jay. "Most people know something about him. ... But very few know the full breadth of his accomplishments. Most are very surprised by what they learn," explains Heather Iannucci, director of the John Jay Homestead in this Hudson River town, where the July Fourth celebration will include a reading of the Declaration of Independence, music and tours of the stately, shingled house where the country's first chief justice lived his final years. As more of his papers have become availablein thepastdecade,Jay'sadmirers,ranging &om specialists to such popular historians as Joseph Ellis and Walter Isaacson, have beenarguing that a founder they believeunderrated deserves a closerlook — for achievements that extend to virtually every branch of government, on the state, federal

and international level. Jay was one of three contributors to the

Federalist Papers, which helped define American government. He was president of the wartime Continental Congress, then servedas secretary offoreign affairs,precursortosecretary ofstate,aftertheRevolutionary War ended. He was an essential diplomat whose peace negotiations with England, leading to the Treaty of Paris, vastly expanded U.S. territory. For his accomplishments heading a network of informants during the revolution,

actions that helped inspire James Fenimore Cooper's novel "The Spy," the CIA's website calls Jay "the first national-level American counterintelligence chief." He also helped write the New York Constitution, was a founder of the New York Manumission Societyand as governor signed legislation that phased out slavery in the state. (Jay himself owned slaves.) The founders bickered colorfully among themselves, but they agreed on the virtues of Jay. Noting his centrality in the talks with England, John Adams praised him as "of more importance than any of the rest of us."

Aetnatobuy health insurer Humana Underwear stolen BAKERSFIELD — Aetna at Victoria's Se:ret aims to spend about $35 billion to buy rival Humana and become the latest health insurer bulking up on government business as the industry adjusts to the federal health care overhaul. The proposed cash-andstock deal, announced early Friday, would make Aetna a sizeable player in the rapidly growing Medicare Advantage business, which offers privately run versions of the federally funded health care program for the elderly and some people with disabilities. The combination also would bolster Aetna's presence in the state- and federally funded Medicaid program and Tricarecoverage for military personnel and their families. Health insurers are eager to do more business with government payers due in part to a Medicaid expansion fostered by the health care overhaul and Medicare Advantage's surging enrollment. The overhaul is expanding Medicaidcoverage in several

Greece's landmark Couple married 75 vote begs questions LONDON — O n h i s years dies together 10-year trip home, the Greek SAN DIEGO — Jeanette and Alexander Toczko were each 8 years old when they became smitten with one another. They married in 1940 and were rarely apart in the decades since. They told their children they wished to die in each other's arms. And last month at their home in San Diego, just days before their 75th wedding anniversary, that wish was fulfilled. KGTV reports 95-year-old Alexander's health was failing rapidly after he broke his hip. His children put Jeanette in bed next to him. According to their daughter, Aimee Toczko-Cushman, after Alexander died, Jeanette said, "Wait for me, I' ll be

Flight by solar plane breaks record KAPOLEI, Hawaii — A plane powered by the sun' s rays landed in Hawaii Friday aftera record-breaking fi veday journey across the Pacific Ocean from Japan. Pilot Andre Borschberg and his single-seat aircraft landed at Kalaeloa, a small airport outside Honolulu. His nearly 118-hour voyage &om Nagoya broke the record for the world's longest nonstop solo flight, his team said. The late U.S. adventurer Steve Fossettset the previous record of 76 hours when he flew a specially-designed jet around the globe in 2006. But Borschberg flew the Solar Impulse 2 w i t hout fuel. Instead, its wings were equipped with 17,000 solar cellsthat powered propellers and charged batteries. The plane ran on stored energy at night. The trans-Pacific leg was the riskiest of the plane's globaltravels as there was

Further, the delay prevented relief from some ofthe Merced district'sdownstream flow requirements, and an opportunity to improve drought storage was lost. Although FERC has given approval for Lake Don Pedro CSD diversion, Jensen said, "it has also placed a host of unnecessary and unreasonable conditions on the district as a result of NMFS intervention. Jensen said, "This does nothing more than furtherdelay an already overdue effort to provide a very small amount of water to a drought-parched Lake Don Pedro CSD in danger of running out of water for itsresidents."

However, the repairs were as superficial as the show, according to Goss. Goss said that the "Murphys" sign placed above the hotel's main lobby was not a permanent fix — it was made out of spraypainted cardboard and Christmas lights. The remodeled rooms had to be touched up with paint after the show, because the "Hotel Hell" crew didn't paint behind the curtains.

School administrators asked him if he wanted the police called, Henington said. The Sonora Police arrived on campus shortly afterward.

The school has 32 surveillance cameras on campus, with 13 out of commission due to construction on the humanities building. Chabot said the nine-year-old camera'squality ispoor. However, the school has identified atleasttwosuspects,according toan email sent to the Henington family by board President Rob Lyons. In the email, Lyons said former Superintendent Mike McCoy — whose resignation took effect last weekinformed him of two suspects. One was a girl going to Cassina next year and the other is transferring to Summerville, Lyons said. No names have been provided to the police department, Stinson said. Chabotsaidthe schoolreacted to the incident like a fight between students, where protocol is to withhold information from faculty not directly involved.

"If we notify teachers, it gets to the students and we don't want rumors getting around. In that case, it kinda dilutes the information a little bit. So we wanted to wait a little and see if we heard any rumors and find the student who knows a little more about it," said Chabot. Chabot said Friday he was unable to comment further on the specifics of the attack or bullying without permission &om the parents, who he was unable to contact.

Henington said he has received one phone call from administration concerning the school's progress. After Henington's multiple complaints, the board has asked administration to contact him with updates, Lyons said. Henington said Friday he has not receiveda callfrom theschool. A committee to address bullying is planned to start meeting before the next school year, Lyons said. Lyons extended an invitation to Henington to sit on the committee.

Jamestown Master Gardener and retiredforester/ fireman Patrick Congdon will give a presentation on ways to reduce fire hazards around homes and property. He will talk about having the appropriate amount of defensiblespace around homes and ranches, and will advise people on what areas onproperties are fire hazards, including firewood piles and vegetation along fences and creeks. Mulch will be an area on which Congdon will focus. Some mulches are especially flammable when not kept compact or moist enough. The plants and shrubs they surround, too, can be extra flammable in the recent dry conditions, which have dried out, died out or stressed out much vegetation, Congdon said. "You could have a nice shrub,say, like a gerrymander right now, that unless it's watered frequently, it' s starting to g o d ormant," Congdon said. "So as they dry back, you start getting branches that are small and dying. If people don't take care of those, those can be essentially like little torches ora ladder fuel to carry

This website includes a feature that — based upon the climate, location and specific criteria selected by the user — will make window treatment suggestions. Though not effective at reducing air leakage or infiltration, carefully selected window treatments can reduce heat gain in the summer and heat loss in the winter. Following is a list of window treatment types and their primary functions.

Bigger pieces of wooden mulch are less of a fire hazard than small chips, and pine needles used for mulch are extremely dangerous. Anything "light and flashy" is a bad idea to use for mulch, he said. "If they' re moist and really compact, then they will not ignite as readily," he

Awnings

said.

Window awnings can reduce solar heat gain in the summer by up to 65 percent on south-facing windows and more than 75 percent on west-facing windows. Today, most awnings are made from synthetic fabrics thatare water-repellent and treated to resistmildew and fading. Grommets or other openings along the tops and sides provide the necessary ventilation required by awnings to keep hot air from being trapped around the window. Choose a fabric that is opaque and tightly woven. A light-colored awning will reflect more sunlight.

energy costs Perhaps thought about more during the cooler months due to heat loss, the efficiency (or inefficiency) of our home's windows can also be a source of unwanted heat and solar gain in the warmer months. Typically, we desire as much light, fresh air and view as possible provided it's in the name of comfort, energy efficiency and privacy. Depending on your home's age, windows can account for as much as 40 percent of annual heat-

Fire spreads more easily in shallow, less compact material that is dry, Congdon said. Fire can still move across the top of something that is compacted, but it tends not to move quickly because of the density, he said. "If people are going to have mulch, I d o r ecomthe home. Vegetation right

Residents are asked to estimate their water use, and then the water district looks up their actual consumption and compares it with that of otherhouses of similar size. Soon, customers will be able to do the same on their home

"It's extremely clever. It' s so simple anyone can do it." An additional benefit to using the buried pots/bottles is that a plant's roots will grow deeper into the soil in search of the water.

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

A daily total limit of 3,000 mg of acetaminophen (Tylenol) is generall y considered safe for most adults. However, in the presence of significant liver disease or in people with heavy alcohol use, a limit of 2,000 mg is safer. TO READERS:Questions about the common problem of uterine fibroids are

Today in history Today is Saturday, July 4, the 185th day of 2015. There are 180 days left in the year. This is Independence Day. Today's Highlight in History: On July 4, 1776, the Declaration of Independence was adopted by delegates to the Second Continental Congress in Philadelphia. On this date: In 1815, the cornerstone was laid for a monument in Baltimore honoring George Washington (the monument was completed in 1829). In 1845, Henry David Thoreau began his twoyear experiment in simpler living at Walden Pond, near Concord, Massachusetts. In 1912, the 48-star American flag, recognizing New Mexico statehood, was adopted. A train wreck near Corning, New York, claimed 39 lives. In 1939, Lou Gehrig of the New York Yankees delivered his famous farewell speech in which he called himself "the luckiest man on the face of the earth." In 1959, America' s 49-star flag, recognizing Alaskan statehood, was officially unfurled. In 1960, America' s 50-star flag, recognizing Hawaiian statehood, was officially unfurled. In 1976, Israeli commandos raided Entebbe (en-TEH'-bee) airport in Uganda (yoo-GAHN'-dah), rescuing almost all of the passengers and crew of an Air France jetliner seized by pro-Palestinian hijackers. In 1982, the space shuttle Columbia concluded its fourth and final test flight with a smooth landing at Edwards Air Force Base in California. Heavy metal rocker Ozzy Osbourne married his manager, Sharon Arden, in Maui, Hawaii.

When you have game-invitational values, jump in a suit. Yes, you would prefer to have a five-card suit, but there are times when you have to hope for the best. Under the diamond ace, East must play his queen. When you cannot win the trick, because someone has already played a card higher than your best, follow suit with the top of touching honors. So, the queen guarantees the jack as well (unless it is a singleton). That should point West in the right direction. At trick two, he shifts to his singleton spade. Then, he grabs the first round of trumps and leads a low diamond to put East on play. When East returns a spade, West ruffs it for the setting trick.

"That' s a tough one. You need a good pitchingeffort to break this little streak we' re in. We got it, but the offense wasn' t there." Bochy certainly got a fine effort from Jake Peavy (0-3).

Serena wins, Venus up next LONDON (AP) — Twice, Serena Williams stood merely two points from a loss at Wimbledon against a British opponentbuoyed by a roaring,flagwaving Centre Court crowd. Twice, Williams was oh-socloseto the end ofherbid for a fourth consecutive major title — and for the third leg of a calendar-yearGrand Slam. And twice, pushed to the precipice, Williams regrouped, resisted and wound up winning, as she so often does. Stomping her foot after misses, alternately screaming in delight or despair, even wagging her finger at fans who booed her, the No. 1-seeded Williams overcame a surprisingly staunch challenge from 59th-ranked Heather Watson and emerged with a 6-2, 4-6, 7-5 victory in the third round Friday. "I honestly didn't think I was going to win," said Williams, who trailed 3-0 and 5-4 in the final set. "How I pulled through, I really don't know." Her 24th victory in a row at Grand Slam tournaments sets up a showdown Monday against another fi ve-time Wimbledon champion, her older sister Venus.

"We' ve been facing each other a long time," said the 16th-seeded Venus, who eliminated 82nd-ranked Aleksandra Krunic of Serbia 6-3, 6-2. SeeWILLIAMS / Page CS

Kings agree to deals with Rondo, Belinelli SACRAMENTO (AP)After missing targets at the start of free agency, the Sacramento Kings finally filled out their backcourt Friday. The Kings reached agreements with point guard Rajon Rondo and shooting guard Marco Belinelli, securing the two positions the team coveted most this summer. Rondo's deal is for one year and $10 million, a person with direct knowledge of the agreement said. Belinelli's contract is for $19 million and three years, a second person familiar with that deal said. The people spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because contractscan't be completed until the moratorium on &ee agency ends Thursday. Belinelli and the Kings reached an agreement in the morning while the team was meeting with Rondo in Sacramento. A few hours later, Rondo decided to join him in California's capital city.

Mavericks, DeAndre Jordan agree to 4-year deal DALLAS (AP) — DeAndre Jordan has chosen the Mavericks over the Los Angeles Clippers in what turned into a tense boom-or-bust wait for Dallas in pursuit of the free-agent center. Two people familiar with the deal tell The Associated Press that the NBA rebound leader agreed to terms Friday. One said the deal was worth $80 million over four years. The people spoke on condition of anonymity because no deals can be completed and signed until Thursday. This is the biggest free-agent pickup in Mark Cuban's 15 years as Dallas owner, after three straight summers of losing out on the big names. The deal comes two days after the Mavericks lost their backup plan when last season's starter, Tyson Chandler, bolted for Phoenix. The last of Jordan's four meetings was with the Clippers. But coach Doc Rivers couldn't persuade the Texas native to stick with Chris Paul, Blake Griffin and the franchise that drafted him seven years ago. Jordan, who turns 27 this month, led the NBA in rebounding the past two seasonsand is coming offcareerbestaverages of 11.5 pointsand 15.0

rebounds. Since the Clippers drafted the Texas A&M star with the 35th overallpick in 2008,Jordan has averaged 8.0 points and 9.0 rebounds. The 6-foot-11 Houston native figures to have a more prominent role in Dallas after being mostly an alleyoop and second-chance option behind Paul and Griffin in Los Angeles. His best season helped the Clippers get within a victory of their first trip to the Western Conference finals. But Los Angeles collapsed in the second half of a Game 6 loss at home with a chance to close out Houston and

dropped the deciding game on the road. Now Jordan's job will be to get the Mavericks out of the first round for

the first time since they won the &anchise's only championship in 2011. The first step to landing Jordan might have come late Thursday when shooting guard Wesley Matthews agreed toa four-year contract with terms that were going to depend on whether Jordan decided to join the former Portland player in Dallas. Before Matthews' commitment, the only starters returning for the Mavericks were 37-year-old star Dirk Nowitzki, going into his 18th season and

no longer the top scoring option, and forward Chandler Parsons. The 26-year-old Parsons was the closest thing Dallas had to a young building block after the failed Decembertrade with Boston forpointguard Rajon Rondo, who clashed with coach Rick Carlisle and was banished two games intoa first-round playoffloss to Houston. Rondo is a free agent. The Mavericks also let shooting guard Monta Ellis go to Indiana after he led them in scoring — the first player other than Nowitzki to do that since 2000. Dallas didn't contact Ellis in freeagency,andheagreed to afouryear, $44 million deal with Indiana on Thursday. Parsons promised to be the primary recruiterin free agency the day after losing to his former team in a fivegame series. He missed all but the first game because of a right knee injury that required surgery after the season. And Parsons followed through, dining with Jordan frequently in the days before free agency opened. That included an impromptu dinner along with Cuban and president of basketball operations Donnie Nelson late Tuesday night in Los Angeles, and

another long meeting Wednesday. Ultimately, the Mavericks succeeded with Jordan where they failed with the likes of Deron Williams, Dwight Howard and Carmelo Anthony over the past three summers. All were targets,some more realisticthan others, after Cuban chose salary-cap space over keeping key pieces of his championship team. Chandler was among those who didn't return four years ago, signing a four-year deal with the New York Knicks. He returned in a trade for the final year of that contract, but is leav-

ing again on another four-year deal with the Suns after the Mavericks decided to pursue Jordan first. The loss of Jordan, who also met with the Lakers and Knicks, leaves the Clippers looking for a center. Jordan's backup, Glen Davis, also is a &ee agent. Had Chandler not agreed on his four-year, $52 million deal with the Suns, the Clippers could have pursued a sign-and-trade agreement with Dallas involving the 7-footer who went to high school in the Los Angeles area. The Clippers drafted Chandler second overall in 2001 but traded him to Chicago on draft night.

Rondo is trying to recover from a brief but tumultuous tenure in Dallas. He was benched severaltimes by Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle after coming over in a December trade from Boston, where he helped the Celtics win the 2008 title and return to the NBA Finals in 2010. Rondo sat out the final three games in Dallas' firstround loss to Houston with what the team called a back injury — though he had already been benched by Carlisle again in the Game 2 loss. That ended a saga that started when Dallas dealt for Rondo hoping he'd boost its championship chances. Instead, Dallas ended up with a bad fit for an offense that regressed after being among the league'sbest at the time of the trade. Rondo also missedsix games because of a broken bone near his left eye. Rondo was a four-time AllStar with the Celtics, who were led by Kevin Garnett,

But you' re trying to do what's right," said San Francisco Giants skipper Bruce Bochy, preparing to manage the National League for the fourth time.

Cowboys LBRolando McClain suspended IRVING, Texas (AP)Cowboys linebacker Rolando McClain has been suspended for the first four games for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy, putting two key Dallas defenders on the sideline to start the season with pass rusher Greg Hardy's 10-game ban. The league said in a statement Thursday that McClain would be suspended without pay and eligible to return for Dallas' Week 5 game against New England. He can participate in training camp and all four preseason games. The suspension is likely to cost McClain more than

his base salary because of bonuses tied to playing time in the one-year, $3 million contract he signed this 06'season.

A-Rod, Yanks settle dispute; gets ball from 3,000th hit NEW YORK (AP) — Alex Rodriguez and the Yankees settledtheir dispute over a marketing payment with a deal announced Friday that gives $3.5 million to charitable groups, saves the team $5.5 million and gets A-Rod the home run ball from his 3,000th hit. At the time Rodriguez and the Yankees signed their $275 million, 10-year contract in December 2007, they reached a separate marketing agreement. It called for $6 million each for up to five milestone accomplishments in exchange for marketing rights, such as using A-Rod's name and image in selling licensed goods. The first was to be for A-Rod's 660th home run, tying Willie

The club's relationship with Rodriguez deteri orated during 2013, when he was a target of Major League Baseball's Biogenesis drug investigation. That led to A-Rod's suspensionfortheentire 2014 season after then-Commissioner Bud Selig concluded he violated the sport's drug agreement and laborcontract.Rodriguez sued MLB, the players' union and the Yankees' team physician, then dropped the litigation. When the 39-year-old hit No. 660 on May 1, New York saidithad the discretion not to makethe payment and declined to do so, saying his marketing rights did not have any worth.

Two of the first three Nats got hits, but Peavy, who was activated earlier in the day, didn't give up another one until Robinson's homer.

Men's matchups: defending champion Novak Djokovic vs. Kevin Anderson; French Open champion Stan Wawrinka vs.David Goffin; Richard Gasquet vs. Nick Kyrgios. Denis Kudla, an American wild-card entry, reached the second week at a major for the first time and awaits the winner of U.S. Open champion Marin Cilic against American John Isner, whose match was suspended because of darkness at 10-all in the fifth set. It harkened back toIsner's record 70-68 fi fth-set victory spread over three days in 2010, but he and Cilic have a looooong way to go to equal that marathon. Nothing in that match, or any other Friday, offered up the tension and drama provided by Williams vs. Watson. Especially once Watson — playing steadily, if unspectacularly — appeared on the verge of a significant upset. "She just did everything so well. I wasn' t able to keep up. You know, sometimes you just don't have your day," said Williams, who lost in the third round at Wimbledon last year. "I thought maybe today just wasn't my day." Sure looked that way when Watson took six straight games to go up two breaks in the third set. Then came an epic, 18-point game

that began Williams' comeback. Watson twice was a point from leading 4-0, but she looked a bit tight, shanking a forehand about 5 feet long, then pushing a forehand wide to get broken. Still, she broke Williams at love for a 5-4 edge, moving within a game of by far the biggestvictory ofhercareer. At the ensuing changeover, Union Jacks of various sizes Rapped in the swirling wind while chants of "Heather!" reverberated through the nearlycentury-old arena.When play resumed, yells came during points, and Williams complained to the chair umpire, drawing jeers. "It was really intense today," Williams said. "I' ve never heard boos here." At deuce, potentially two points from the end, Williams produced a forehand winner. Moments later, again at deuce, again two points from defeat, Williams conjured up another big forehand. ''When she needs to hit the line or needs to hit a winner, sheH just do it," Watson said, "and that's what she did." That began a match-closing run of three consecutive games for Williams, who held at love for a 6-5 lead with four unreturned serves. "I don't know where she found this strength today to win it," said Williams' coach, Patrick Mouratoglou, "because she was so far mentally at a certain point." Williams broke Watson to finish things, yet even that didn't come easily. Williams needed three match points, cashing in the last with a backhand return that forced a miss by Wat-

But it's their older siblings and parents who are infiating the audience for this Women' s World Cup. Among adults ages 25-54, viewership is up 40 percent &om 2011. That's compared toa 14 percent increase for the 18-34 group, which may also refiect them watching less TV in general. ''We' re such a youth-obsessed business, but in thecase of soccer,it's the flip side of the coin," Mulvihill said. "You want to mainstream the sport. It can't just be the younger demo." Evwen more promising for soccer's mainstreamappealistheintergenerational appeal of this tournament. Of the adults ages 25-54 tuning into U.S. games during the Women' s World Cup, nearly 23 percent of them are watching with a child or teenager. That's close to double the rate for the NFL, which has the next highest total among the major sports and TV programming that Fox tracks. As nice as it is for young people to discover soccer on their own, the path to widespread appealfora sportisparentspassing on a love of the game to their children. "Time and time again what we hear from people is that the way they became a fan is through someone in the older gen-

eration," Mulvihill said. One very intriguing number is yet to be determined: How many Americans watch Sunday's final between the United States and Japan. The U.S. men's group stage match against Portugal in last year's World Cup — which started at 5:30 p.m. EDT on a Sunday — set a record for soccer on American English-language TV with 18.2 million viewers on ESPN. The 1999 women's final, beginning just before 4 p.m. on a Saturday on ABC, was seen by nearly 18 million when the population was smaller. It still holds the record for a rating for a soccer game, watched in 11.4 percent of American homes with televisions. Sunday's rematch of the 2011 final kicks oQ' at 7 p.m. on Fox on the night of the week with the largest available audience for TV. The network's research shows that the Fourth of July weekend has not lessened Sunday prime-time television viewership in the past, Mulvihill said. If anything, he hopes that the patriotic spirit of Independence Day will inspire more Americans to root for the home team. Maybe all the way to more records falling. Network executives prefer to shy away from publicly predicting the size of audiences. But with all the indicators so far, Mulvihill said, "I think those numbers are in play."

(AP) — Clint Dempsey wants to look ahead to helping the U.S. defend its CONCACAF Gold Cup title and not back to his confrontation with a referee that caused American coach Jurgen Klinsmann to replace the fiery forward as captain for the tournament.
