'Beautiful eye candy': Ice mountains, CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP)Vast frozenplains exist next door to Pluto's big, rugged mountains sculpted ofice,scientists said Friday, three days after humanity's first-ever flyby of the dwarf planet.

"Have a look at the icyPozen plains of Pluto. Who would haveexpected this kind o f complexity~."

Alan Stern, principal scientist, NASA headquarters

The New Horizons spacecraft team

revealed close-up photos of those plains, which they' re already unofficially calling Sputnik Planum after the world's first man-made satellite.

"Have a look at the icy frozen plains of Pluto," principal scientist Alan Stern said during a briefing at NASA headquarters. "Who would have expected this kind of complexity?"

Stern described the pictures coming down from 3 billion miles away as "beautiful eye candy."

"I'm still having to remind myself to take deep breaths," added Jeff Moore, head of the New Horizons geology team at NASA's Ames Research Center in California. "I mean, the landscape is just astoundingly amazing."

Spanning hundreds of miles, the plains are located in the prominent, bright, heart-shaped area of Pluto.

Like the mountains unveiled Wednesday, the plains look to be a relatively young 100 million years old — at the most. Scientists speculate internal heating — perhaps from icy volcanoes or geysers — might still be shaping thesecrater-free regions.

"This could be only a week old for all we know," Moore said. He stressed that scientists have no hard evidence of erupting, geyser-like plumes on Pluto — yet.

Another possibility could be that

the terrain, like frozen mud cracks on Earth, formed as a result of contraction of the surface.

The plains — which include clusters of smooth hills and fields of small pits — are coveredwith irregular-shaped, or polygon, sections that look to be separated by troughs. Each section is roughly 12 miles across.

The height of the hills is not yet known, nor their origin. It could be the hills were pushed up from below, or are knobs surrounded by eroded terrain, according to Moore. The fields of pits resemble glacial fields on Earth.

As of Friday's news conference, New Horizons was just over 2 million miles past Pluto and operating well. The spacecraft on Tuesday became the first visitor to the 4.5 billion-year-old Pluto, sweeping within 7,700 miles of its icy surface after a journey of 9'/~ years. It represented the last planetary stop on NASA's grand tour of the solar system, begun a half-century ago.

"I'm a little biased, but I think the solarsystem saved the best for last," Stern, a Southwest Research Institute planetary scientist, told reporters.

On Wednesday — just one day after the historic flyby — Stern and his team unveiled zoom-in photos showing 11,000-foot mountain ranges on

Pluto, akin to the Rockies here on Earth. The plains are the mountains' neighbors to the north. The peaks are now known, informally at least, as the Norgay Montes. Tenzing Norgay was the Sherpa guide for Sir Edmund Hillary when they conquered Mount Everest in 1953.

The huge, encompassing heartshaped regionalready bears the last name of Clyde Tombaugh, the late

said Bret Smith, 48, was bo o k ed into Calaveras C ounty Jai l on s u s picion S mi t h of will f u l ly discharging a firearm in a grossly negligent manner,

Pluto in 1930.

New Horizons' science team promised Friday that the data will allow them to produce elevation maps of both Pluto and its big moon Charon.

It will take 16 months to transmit to Earth allthe data collected during the close encounter. The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory in Laurel, Maryland, is managing the $720 million mission, which began with a launch from Cape Canaveral, Florida, in 2006 — months before Pluto was demoted from a fullfledged planet.

Stay tuned, meanwhile, for NASA's next Pluto update — next Friday. The pictures should keep getting better and better.

"This is just a taste of what I'm sure is in the unsent data" yet to come, Moore said.

which could result in injury or death to a person.

While Angels Camp police officers were in the area of Mark Twain Road and South Main Street on an unrelated call they heard a single distinct gunshot nearby, stated the report.

After speaking to numerous residents standing outside,officers were directed to apossible location of the shooter. The report did not say why the shot was fired.

Smith was released from jail about 10:16 a.m. Thursday on his own recognizance.

GUEST COLUMN

Public Utilities Commission reform bills are too late It's the same with the state Public Utilities Commission these days as with almost everything else: by the time statelegislators notice something is a problem, things are so bad, soextreme that other people ests ofregulated, privately-owned and agencies have already acted. corporations over those of the conJust now, almost six months after sumers they serve.

stateand federal investigators exe-

cuted search warrants on the homes of former PUC President Michael Peevey and a since-fired Pacific Gas & Electric Co. executive for whom Peevey would apparently do just about anything, lawmakers are finally ready to act.

Unfortunately, their action is redundant, coming long after the cows have left the barn.

Dollar bills, ofien rolls of 100-dollar bills, are equivalent to the cows in this metaphor. And the barn is the equivalent of the wallets and bank accounts of tens of millions of customers with gas, electric and water companies regulated by the utilities commission.

For many years before scandal broke, the PUC under Peevey and severalpredecessors maintained a steady pattern favoring the inter-

ing to maintenance and safety concerns, from easy OKs of power plant siting to lack of concern over nuclear safeguards at the now-closed San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station and the Diablo Canyon nuclear power station.

billions of dollars over decades, costs that climb each day.

This has been achieved via a sort of kabuki dance, where utilities routinelyask far more in rate increases

than they know they' re entitled to.

The PUC responds by cutting the requests, still giving utilities larger increases than reality justifies.

Then both the commission and the companies brag about being "consumer-friendly."

The dance went on unchecked for decades, legislators paying virtually no heed. The lawmakers also

routinely rubber-stamped appointees to the commission named by current Gov. Jerry Brown and predecessors like George Deukmejian, Pete Wilson, Gray Davis and Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Each commissioner then served a six-year term without even the pos-

Commissioner Mike Florio and executives of PG&E and Southern California Edison continued with impunity until earlier this year, when scandal broke.

The Rendon bills are too little, too late. Far better to give the commission's existing Office of Ratepayer Advocates some real power to fight and expose the ongoing misdeeds of the PUC. Rather than set up a new inspector general, why not make the existing advocacy office independent?

And with no ability for consumers to protest PUC decisions anywhere but in appeal courts, it's now far too difficult to do anything about wrongheaded, one-sided commission rulings. Why not allow consum-

sibility of being fired for one-sided rulings.

Now, long after this column exposed the corrupt pattern and with a federal grand jury working on this case,atlong lastcomes a state legislator to "do something" about the PUC. That's Democratic Assemblyman Anthony Rendon of Lakewood.

So phone calls changes than what Rendon proposand private dinners like those docu- es, the only legislative fixes for the mented involving Peevey, current PUC now proposed.

Even more important to cleaning up this long-corrupt agency would be for legislators to put a spotlight on any appointee proposed by any governor. Also, if lawmakers would hold meaningful, thorough hearings on the PUC's questionable actions.

This is already within their power, but even with the scandal in progress,it still does not happen.

Lawmakers show no appetite for contesting any proposed commissioner or any commission actions.

That's how consumers got stuck with Peevey, a former Edison president whose corrupt practices were easy to foresee.

So, yes, the Legislature can and should do something about the PUC, but the best thing it could be is wake up and perform the watchdog dutiesithasneglected for decades.

His agent, Larry Corsa, confirmed that Morris passed away in Los Angeles on Wednesday at the Barlow Respiratory Hospital, where he' d been under care for several weeks. He was 89.

Final CA beach fouled by oil spill is reopened SANTA BARBARA (AP)The last of several Southern California beaches soiled by last spring's massive oil spill reopened Friday to enthusiastic crowds that quickly jammed its campgrounds to capacity.

Two small sections of the beach remain closed for further cleanup. But they are away from most of the area's popular activities, which include swimming, surfing, sunbathing and basketball. It could be another two months before they reopen, Hjelstrom said.

Refugio, 20 miles west of Santa Barbara, was one of several area beaches closed after a pipeline ruptured May 19, spilling 101,000 gallons of crude, including 21,000 gallons that reached the Pacific Ocean.

DMV: After new law, most new state licenses go to drivers in US illegally SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — After a new law went into efFect in January, more than half of all new driver' s licenses issued in California this year have gone to people who are in the country illegally, the state said Friday.

The California Department of Motor Vehicles reported it has issued roughly 397,000 licenses to people who live in the country illegally. A total of 759,000 licenses were issued in the first six months of the year.

The DMV issued 435,000 l icenses in th e fi rst s i x months of 2014.

The new law initially generated huge interest, with long lines at DMV offices in January and February.

Supporters of the law say giving licenses to people regardless of their immigration status makes the roads safer for everyone. New drivers say having a license means they can travel more freely for work or pleasure.

Some people had been driving without a license.

Opponents say people who are in the country illegally should not be rewarded.

'There are now 400,000 more signals to people all over the world that working illegally in California is encouraged by the government itself," he said.

About 687,000 people have applied forthe licenses issued to illegal immigrants.

Train wreck spills 35K gallons oil BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — Four tank cars leaked an estimated 35,000 gallons of oil after a train hauling fuel from North Dakota derailed in rural northeastern Montana, authorities said.

The spill marked the latest in a series of wrecks across the U.S. and Canada that have highlighted the safety risks of moving crude by rail.

No one was reported injured in the accident Thursday night that triggered the evacuation of about a dozen homes and a camp for oil field workers, according to state and local officials. It comes afterrecent oiltrain crashes, in-

cluding a 2013 derailment in Quebec that exploded and killed 47 people.

The Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway train was bound for Anacortes, Washington, when it derailed about 5 miles east of the small town

of Culbertson, near the North Dakota border, officials said.

A hazardous-materials team contained the spill with earthen dams, and the oil didn't appear to affect any waterways,according to federal and stateofficials.

Unlike many prior oil train accidents, no explosions or fire were reported. The cars knocked over a power line as they left the tracks, and firefighters sprayed foam on the wreckage to prevent a fire as they worked to clean up the oil, according to Roosevelt County ChiefDeputy SheriffCorey Reum and BNSF spokesman Matt Jones.

Acknowledging the risks, U.S. transportationofficials have recently put rules in place intended to make shipping hazardous liquids safer. Critics, however, have said the rules don't do enough to keep cars on the tracks and prevent derailments.

Republicans in C o ngress have sought toroll back a provision that calls for an advanced breaking system.

70 years on, 3apanese firm to Suicide apologize to US WWII veterans bomb kills 80 people

WASHINGTON (AP) — A m ajor Japanese corporation will offer a landmark apology this weekend for using U.S. prisoners of war for forced labor during World War II, according to the Simon Wiesenthal Center that is hosting the event.

A senior executive of Mitsubishi Materials Corp. will apologize to 94-year-ol d James Murphy,ofSanta Maria, California, and relatives of other former POWs who toiled at plants its predecessor company operated in Japan during the conflict.

Rabbi Abraham Cooper, associatedean at the center — an organization that primarily educate s about the Holocaust — called it an important gesture, coming asitdoes ahead of the 70th anniversary in August of the end of the war that has heightened scrutiny of Japan's attitude to its past abuses.

"As far as I know, this is a pieceofhistory, "said Cooper, who is helping moderate the closed-doormeeting Sunday at the center's Museum of Tolerance in Los

Angeles. "It's the first time a major Japanese company has ever made such a gesture. We hope this will spur other companies to join in and do the same."

A pressrelease from the Wiesenthal Center s a id the apology will be made

Obama: Dadand daughters overnight NEW YORK — President Barack Obama is enjoying a father-daughterweekend in New York with his teenage girls.

First, though, a little business. The president began his New York overnighter by collecting some cash for Democrats.

Obama headlined a Democratic fundraiser Friday night hosted by businessman George Logothetis and his wife, Nitzia, on the Upper East Side. About 30 supporters were contributing up to $33,400 each.

The rest of Obama's New York overnighter was set aside for time with Malia and Sasha.

Friday afternoon,Obama, 14-year-old Sasha and two of her &iends bounded up the steps of Air Force One, eager to join Malia, who was already in New York. Malia, 17, is interning this summer on the Brooklyn set of HBO's "Girls."

First lady Michelle Obama, who took the girls to Italy and Britain earlier in the summer, decided to hang back at the White House this time.

White House spokesman Josh Earnest said the president was "looking forward to a rare opportunity he' ll have to spend a little personal time with his daughters in New York."

Cyberattack targets UCLA hospitals L OS ANGELES — A months-long cyberattack on the University of California, Los Angeles, hospital system put at risk the personal information for up to 4.5 million people, officials said Friday.

UCLA Health said in a statement that while there' s no evidence hackers acquired personal or medical data, it can't be ruled out yet.

Officials said they were working with the FBI to track the source of the attacks. A message seeking further information &om the FBI was not immediately returned.

University of C alifornia President Janet Napolitano ordered an outside cybersecurity group to assess the computer s ecurity

Liberia saysEbola patients recovered MON ROVIA, Liberia The four remaining patients infected during Liberia's recent string of Ebola cases have recovered, meaning there are currently no confirmed cases in the country though more than 100 people are still under surveillance, a health official said Friday.

"There are no Ebola cases anywhere in Liberia as we speak," Deputy Health Minister Tolbert Nyenswah told The Associated Press.

In an interview earlier with state media, he said the four patients had recovered and would be discharged in a ceremony on Monday.

"It is still too early to say is it is over," Nyenswah cautioned in the interview, noting that 123 contactswere being monitored.

Ebola killed more than 4,800people in Liberia before the country was declared Ebola transmission-free on May 9. But in late June, a 17-yearoldboy died from the disease.

That transmission chain has produced five more cases, including the four patients Nyenswah said had been cured and a woman in her 20s who died earlier this week.

At the campground "there was a bunch of post-its with this woman's name, Mary, with her number saying 'Ifany PCT hikers need rides to anywhere call me I' ll be happy to get you,"' Claire said.

Before they started the PCT, Claire was living at home with her dad in Chattanooga and workingfor an insurance company.

"Now I want to pursue writing," Claire said. Her passion for writing motivated her to get on the trail, and she is posting some of her writing online when time allows.

Caleb was living at home with his parents in New Jersey, working for the Department of Defense as a civilian fuse engineer beforehe decided totravel.H ewent toFlorida and stayed more than a year,working for an outdoors outfitter in the gun shop in the St. Petersburg area.

Caleb said he wanted to get on the PCT to explore the western part of the country — he'd onlybeen to Colorado before this.

What he wants to do in life is design his own products, license them to companies, or produce them himself, and then from there branch out into fossil hunting.

Less than three months ago, Claire and Caleb flew into San Diego on the same day to begin their PCT journey. Other backpackerswere getting ready to start at the same time.

Many of them stayed with Scout and Frodo, a pair of Trail Angels, people who go out of their way to help PCT hikers with meals, rides and places to crash.

"We don't consider the PCT a honeymoon.

This is a journey. We' ll have a honeymoon after the PCT."

Trail traNc triples The Pacific Crest Trail Association estimates hundreds of thousands of people use the PCT each year, though only a fraction of them attempt to walk from Mexico to Can-

ada. It takes the average backpacker about five months to walk the entire trail.

Michael Kochakji, the Tuolumne Meadows postmasterfor15 years,said earlier this week there are three times as many backpackers seeking resupply this year at his outpost, and he's heard the same from others in the Postal Service and people who support backpackers on the Pacific Crest Trail.

Kochakji says some speculate the increase in backpackers on the PCT, as well as the popular John Muir Trail, may be due in part to the bestselling book "Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail," and the 2014 film it inspired, "Wild," starring Reese Witherspoon.

But Kochakji and Jeffrey Ballard, junior postmaster at Tuolumne Meadows, also believe the number of backpackers walking the High Sierra right now has tripled because of the drought, lack of snow on high mountain passes, and the early summer access so many have discovered along the crest of the Sierra Nevada range.

T he fourth winter in a row ofdisappointing precipitation has triggered a dieoff of trees in the Sierra Nevada, most of which is now in "exceptional drought" status.

The U.S. Forest Service conducted aerial monitoring surveys in April 2015 and observed a large increase in tree mortality in the Southern Sierra (from Sonora south). Surveyors flew over 4.1 million acres of publicand private forest land and found that about 20 percenthad tree mortality on it, totaling over 10 million dead trees.

Independence Hall is a community center that is used by various groups for events and meetings,

including a quilting guild and co-op preschool.

The annual rummage sale is held each year on the first full weekend of August. It is the only fundraiser for the building and brings in between $25,000 and $40,000, said Bob Harlow, of Arnold, who is president of the hall'sboard ofdirectors and this year's event chairman. In 2014,the sale brought in $29,000.

"This is the largest flea market in Calaveras County, bar none, period," he said.

Organizers and volunteers started

Gardening expert offers tips on taming watering woes In the Garden

Tuolumne County UCCooperative Extension MasterGardeaos

Vera Strader As a M a ster G a rdener,

I'm often asked to look at yards with faltering or dying plants and trees.

The No. 1 cause of plant death issaid to be overwatering, but that is not always the case.

Here are the most frequent problems I have encountered.

• Timers — a wonderful innovation for those of us who don't wish to be watering slaves. Some timers can be adjusted for anywhere from multiple waterings weekly to every two or three weeks for droughttolerant plantings.

Each season, adjust the length and frequency of watering, as needs fluctu-

300,000 trees killed last year in the same area. Conifer mortalitywas scattered at higher elevations, though surveyors note that the survey was conducted too early in theyear to detectthe full extent of mortality levels.

The insects killing trees in the Sierra are all native insects that are multiplying because of drought conditions. Native insects are a necessarypart of the forest ecosystem and speed decay of wood back into nutrients, prey on other insects, and provide food for w i ldlife.

They are normally present at lowlevelsand cause tree mortality only in localized areas.

Drought weakens trees and reduces their ability to withstand insect attacks.

Normally, trees use pitch to expel beetles that attempt t o bu rrow

i n t o t h e tr e e

through the bark. Weakened trees cannot produce the pitch needed to repel these beetles,so they are able to enter under the bark and lay eggs. Larvae feed on the tree's inner bark, cutting off the tree's ability to transport nutrients. Attacking beetles release chemicalscalled pheromones that attractother beetles until a mass attack overcomes the tree. Many beetles also carry fungi that weaken the tree's defenses.

Western pine beetle is one of the main culprits killing pines in the Sierra during this drought. It is a bark beetle,one of a genus of beetles named Dendroctonus, which literally means "tree-killer." Adult beetles are dark brown and about 1/4- inch long. Western pine beetle often attacks in conjunction with other insects.

Other beetles causing tree mortality in t h e Si erra i n c lude m o u ntain pine beetle, red turpentine beetle,Jeffrey pine beetle, engraver beetles (Ips) and fir engravers. Forests with a higher diversityof tree species are typically less See TREES/Page B2

Traces of feeding bark beetles, such as light and nutrients compared the red turpentine beetle (below right), can be seen around the base of a tree (below left). to densely growing and overcrowded trees.Forest health can be promoted by thinning to reduce overcrowding (so each tree has access to more resources) and removing high r i sk trees during thinning. .i ra For landscape trees of high a value close to a home, watering may be one optionto increase tree vigoragainst bark beetle attacks.

An alternate approach is to make a basin around a tree's drip line and flood with water. Repeat if needed. Water again only when the soil begins to dry out.

Lawns Many savvy gardeners are converting lawns to native, drought-tolerant landscap-

ing. Even so, a soothing swath of green can be most welcome in summer heat.

To cut water usage: • Water only in the morning so the m oisture penetrates before heat sets in.

This also prevents grass and adjacent plants from sitting wet overnight — a fungal disease risk. Be sure the entire root zone is watered (see preceding comments about irrigation cycling). Aeration will also help your lawn absorb moisture.

Rooftop garden thrives at Fenway BOSTON (AP) — There's more green at Fenway Park than the infield or the monster wall.

The Red Sox are growing vegetablesand herbs in a rooftop garden. The produce is used in food and cocktailssold at the

League Baseball stadiums, said Chris Knight, manager of facilities services and planning for the Red Sox. The sight of a lush, green garden on the third level of the stadium excitedSox fan John Bunker, who recently travelled from his home in Palermo, Maine, to see the team in action and make a pilgrimage to the rooftop farm.

"This is great because although a lot of people love to come to Fenway and eat a hot dog, some people don't want to eat a hot dog, they want to eat something else — maybe a salad or a wrap with vegetables in

concessions, at nearby restau-

rants and in the team's flagship restaurantthat prepares meals for about40,000 people during home games.

The 5,000-square-foot garden on the third-base side of Fenway has turned a previously unused part of the historic stadium into the largest of a handful of farms that have sprouted up in Major

it," Bunker said.

The garden is unique because the crops are grown in milk crates, which make it possible to move the farm if needed, said Jessie Banhazl, whose company, Green City Growers, is responsible for planting and maintaining the garden.

Growers use intensive methods, including drip irrigation and planting fresh crops right after

first three months, Banhazl said.

"So we' re growing a little bit of everything," she said."It'sour first year doing the farm and so we thought we'd try out a bunch of dif ferent varietiesto seewhat the kitchens were using, and also to just kind of experiment with what people liked."

• Identify over- and under-watered areas by placing straight-sidedcans (tuna and cat food cans work well) on your lawn and compare the water levels after sprinkling. Clean or replace sluggish heads.

• Re-water only when footprints show in the grass when walked on. Grass may need twice as much water in summer heat, so adjust water schedule accordingly and reduce scheduling in the cooler fall.

By fine-tuning watering, you can save time and money, and have a betterlooking landscape as well. Now that' s a good deal!

Due to drought conditions, TUD has instituted Phase III water conservation measures. A mandatory water reduction of30 percent has been set for all customers based upon their water usage of 2013.

Recently, I found out from my sister that my birth mother has been reposting photographs of my children from other friends' pages. I havesetprivacy guidelinesforposting photos of my children and she has totally disregarded them.

I have tried to be civil with this woman, who blatantly doesn't care who she hurts. I understand that I can't make my friends and relatives remove these photos, but am I wrong to be so guarded about who and how pictures of my children can be shared on social media? Mind you, this woman is not part of my life and has no rights to me or my children. —OUTRAGED MOTHER DEAR OUTRAGED: You can ask your friends and relatives to put privacy settings on their photos so that your birth mother does not get to see them, let alone repost

But we'd guess she feels marginalizedand excluded &om your life and that of your children, and she isdesperate to be "grandma."

You might be able to convince her to removethe photos from her social media pages by promising her an old-fashioned printed photo of your family that she can frame and keep at home.

Today in history Today is Saturday, July 18, the 199th day of 2015.

There are 166 days left in the year.

Today's Highlight in History: On July 18, 1947, President Harry S. Truman signed a Presidential Succession Act which placed the speaker of the House and the Senate president pro tempore next in the line of succession after the vice president.

On this date: In A.D. 64, the Great Fire of Rome began, consuming most of the city for about a week. (Some blamed the fire on Emperor Nero, who in turn blamed Christians.)

In 1792, American naval hero John Paul Jones died in Paris at age 45.

In 1872, Britain enacted voting by secret ballot.

In 1925, Adolf Hitler published the first volume of his autobiographical screed, "Mein Kampf (My

Strug ge)." l

In 1932, the United States and Canada signed a treaty to develop the St. Lawrence Seaway.

In 1944, Hideki Tojo was removed as Japanese premier and war minister because ofsetbacks suffered by his country in World War II. American forces in France captured the Normandy town of St. Lo. In 1955, President Dwight D. Eisenhower, Soviet Premier Nikolai Bulganin, British Prime Minister Anthony Eden and French Premier Edgar Faure met for a summit in Geneva.

In 1969, Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, D-Mass., left a party on Chappaquiddick Island near Martha's Vineyard with Mary Jo Kopechne (koh-PEHK'nee), 28; some time later, Kennedy's car went off a bridge into the water. (Kennedy was able to escape,

BRIIIG necessary. You' re gaining authority and learning quickly.

Don't take anything for granted. Consider a new hairstyle.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):Today is an 8 — Work preempts a romantic interlude. Demand for your attention wrecks an intimate moment. Manage a confusing situation, under budget and on time, to impress an authority figure. Your intuition is right on. Nail down basics and revise later.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov.21): Today is 8 7 — Schedule meetings for today, and provide refreshments. Teamwork is your magic wand. When people get going, anything is possible.

Take advantage of the momentum. Keep your objective in mind, and get support from loved ones. Party later.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):Today is a 7 — Stick to basicsnow. A challenge takesyour focus,and you need the extra reliability. Re-establish balance after a communications or transport breakdown. Allow extra time for travel. Clarify directions. All is not as it appears.

Capricorn (Dec. 224an. 19):Today is an 8 — Resist a tempting toy, and replenish reserves instead. Save for something you want. Hunt for a bargain, and grow your piggy bank. Play it conservative with investments. Common senseshows you which option isbest.Re-purpose what you have.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb.18):Today is a 7 — Review your finances. Methodically strategize, and stifle impulsive urges. First figure out what really matters. You can get what you need. Collaborate with your partner on plans and budgets. Find ways to reduce risk. Polish your presentation.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20):Today is an 8 — Keep working toward your dream career. A partner can help with a temporary setback. Take things slowly to avoid accidents.

Reality clashes with fantasy. What you get isn't what you expected. Check plans for errors. Friends keep you inspired.

Amy Lowell, who posthumously won the +A Q]pg62 Pulitzer Prize for Poetry in 1926, said, "In science, read by preference the newest works. $Ayp 4 J 974 In literature, read the oldest. The classics are always modern."

Declarer starts with five top tricks: one heart Opening lead:V 6 (from trick one), three diamonds and one club.

He will hope that the club finesse is working.

First of all, let's assume South finesses his heart jack at trick two. West wins with his queen and must return the heart nine — his highest-remaining — as a suit-preference signal, showing that his entry lies in spades, not diamonds.

Then, after declarer takes the losing club finesse, East will know which suit to return. (Note that if East shifts to diamonds, the contract makes. And unaided, he is likely to do that because South bid spades in the auction.)

Secondly, if South wins trick two with his heart king, West must again signal with the nine.

Pelicans, Kings to play at Rupp LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) — Tickets go on public sale Friday morning for the Oct. 17 NBA preseason game at Rupp Arena between the New Orleans Pelicans and Sacramento Kings, both of which feature former Kentucky stars.

All-Star Anthony Davis will lead the Pelicans against the Kings and fellow All-Star DeMarcus Cousins, veteran guard Rajon Rondo and 7-foot rookie Willie CauleyStein, an All-American who was selected No. 6 overall in last month's NBA draft.

The game follows Big Blue Madness the day before, which kicks off the season for Kentucky's men's and women's squads.

Davis and the Pelicans will be playing their second Rupp NBA preseason game in three years. New Orleans defeated the Washington Wizards and John Wall there in October 2013.

Tickets range from $10to$250and can be purchased atTicketmaster.corn.

Deadline close for HOF nominations The deadline is approaching to turn in nominations for the Sonora High School Athletic Hall of Fame Class of 2015.

Information and nomination forms can be found at www.sonorahs. k12.ca.us/shs/athletics/ hall-fame/and must be submitted before Aug. 1.

The primary goal of the Sonora High School Hall of Fame is to recognize individuals that have made a significant contribution to the athletic program.

Gerrard scores; Galaxy rip Quakes CARSON (AP)Steven Gerrard scored in the 37th minute of his MLS debut before assisting on Robbie Keane's tiebreaking goal in the LA Galaxy's 5-2 victory over the San Jose Earthquakes on Friday night.

Keane also scored twice on penalty kicks for his second straight hat trick in league play.

His new partnership with Gerrard got off to a tantalizing start for the Galaxy, who roared back from a two-goal deficit for their fourth win in five games.

Two of Keane's goals were created by Gerrard in his debut in the top North American league.

The longtime Liverpool star and England captain played briefly in two non-leagueGalaxy games this month, but a sellout crowd properly welcomed him in a victory for the defending MLS champions.

ST. ANDREWS, Scotland (AP)Tom Watson closed out his British Open career with his worst score ever at St. Andrews.

Not that it mattered.

In the dwindling Scottish light, Watson shot an 8-over 80 and finished with five straight bogeys Friday, his farewell put off until nearly 10 p.m. after a morning rain delay.

Cuba has 4 absent ahead of battle with US BALTIMORE (AP) — When it comes to Cuba's soccer team, you can't even tell the players with a scorecard.

Coach Raul Gonzalez said

I

19 of the 23 men on his roster

will be available for Saturday' s CONCACAF Gold Cup quarterfinal against the United States.

"I think it's enough to play the game and to play the tournament," he said at a news conference Friday, speaking through a translator.

Cuba's sports teams have a history of defect ions, and Gonzalez avoided saying which four players won't be suiting up.

The Associated Press previously reported forward Keiler Garcia defected in Chicago ahead of Cuba's opener against Mexico and backup goalkeeper Arael Arguellez disappeared before the team traveled to Arizona for its second match, against Trinidad and Tobago.

Midfielders Dario Suarez and Aricheel Hernandez were listed as absent on Wednesday's lineup sheet before the 1-0 win over Guatemala in North Carolina, which advanced the Cubans to the knockout stage for the first time. Univision reported Friday that midfielder Ariel Martinez was

Cuba comes into the game with two days' rest while the U.S. has had four days off since playing the group stage in a seven-day span. The Gold Cup can feature high temperatures and difficult surfaces — grass was installed over the artificial turf at M&T Bank Stadium for this weekend's game.

feel relevant. I don't need to talk a lot of trash. I'm just going to prove it on July 25. He has a lot of mouth to back up now, and that will go against him."

When the two stepped into the cage in May, 2014 at the MGM Grand, Barao, from Natal, Brazil, was credited throughout the UFC as being one of the best pound-forpound fighters in the world and was riding a 22-fight, nine-year win streak. He had title defenses and was the heavy favorite.

But it became apparent from the opening seconds that Dillashaw's quickness was going to be a problem for Barao. The Bret Harte graduate would dance in and land a stiff jab or combination beforeBarao could see it coming.The former champ would try to punch and kick and ultimately hit nothing but air.

By the third round, Dillashaw's speed and stamina overwhelmed Barao, and the fight ended in the fifth round by a technical knock out.

"I just had a belief in myself and was having fun," said Dillashaw of beating Barao for the title. "I did what I was able to do and had a blast in there. I wanted to prove I was

the better athlete and prove that I was doing all the right things."

After the stunning victory, UFC requested Dillashaw grant Barao a quick rematch, and UFC 177 was set for August in Sacramento. The much anticipated rematch

The U.S. has reached the semifinals of every Gold Cup except in 2000, when it lost to Colombia on penalty kicks in a quarterfinal. A victory in the July 26 final at Philadelphia would earn the Americans a place in the 2017 Confederations Cup in Russia. If another nation wins, it would face the U.S. in a playoff for the berth.

Dillashaw will try to defend his UFC Bantamweight championship against Renan Barao Saturday, July 25 in Chicago. never took place. While cutting weight in a bathtub the day before weigh-ins for the fight, Barao stood up, fainted,

hit his head and was taken to a hospital. There, he was not medically cleared to fight.

UFC was quick to find a replacement only 24-hours before the fight and Dillashaw took on Joe Soto in front of a hometown Sacramento crowd and won in the fifthround by TKO. "I was disappointed," Dillashaw said. "I gave him (Barao) a rematch that I didn't think he deserved. So for him to miss that opportunity made me pretty angry. I had been training for him for a really long time. I trained for 10-months and for him not to make weight was really disappointing. I was mentally preparedtofi ghtBarao,and then I had to switch it up at the last minute. I had a lot of mixed emotions. There was a lot of pressure on me. Not only did I have to fight in my hometown, but I had to fight a guy that I didn't know too well."

The Dillashaw vs. Barao rematch was pushed back until April 25 of this year, and the two were scheduled to headline UFC 186 in Montreal,Quebec, Canada.

But fans once again had to wait as Dillashaw suffered a fractured rib while training, which put him out of action for eight weeks.

Once Dillashaw fully recovered from his injury, the twice postponed match was again set — for next Saturday.

Since turning pro in 2010, Dillashaw is 12-2-0 according to UFC.corn and possesses a strong ground-and-pound attack. Even though he has a dominantvictory over Barao (35-2-0), he is not taking the No. 1 contender lightly.

Dillashaw will do whateverittakestoleaveChicago the same way he entered: as the UFC Bantamweight Champion ofthewo rld.

BRIEFS GatlIn gets dominant win in i00 meters MONACO — A merican sprinter Justin Gatlin continued his fine form by clocking 9.78 to win the 100 meters at the Herculis Diamond League meet on Friday, beating countryman Tyson Gay and Frenchman Jimmy Vicaut.

Gay, who earlier teamed u p with Gatlin as t h e American men won the 4x100 meter relay, docked 9.97 and Vicaut was timed in 10.03.

The time was 0.04 outside Gatlin's world-leading season-best, but he is increasingly looking like the man to beat at the world championships in Beijing next month as title holder Usain Bolt struggles with a leg injury.

Unbeaten in the 100 since 2013, Gatlin was slightly slower than last week, however, when he clocked 9.75 at the Athl~ tissima Diamond League meet.

But the performance of the night went to Ethiopian Genzebe Dibaba, who set a world record time of 3 minutes, 50.07 seconds in the women's 1,500 meterseclipsing the long-standing mark of 3:50.46 set by China's Qu Yunxia in 1993.

3ules Bianchi dies from crash in 2014 The family of Jules Bianchi says the French Formula One driver has died &om head injuries sustained in a crash at last year's Japanese Grand Prix.

The news was posted on Bianchi's official Twitter feed early Saturday morning French time and later confirmedby theManor F1 team.

Bianchi, 25, had been in a coma since the Oct. 5 accident, in which he collided at high speed with a mobile crane which was being used to pick up another crashed car.

The family statement said "Jules fought right to the very end, as he always did, but today his battle came to an end. The pain we feel is immense and indescribable."

Bianchi competed in 34 races over the 2013 and 2014 seasons, scoring the first ever championship points for Manor — then known as Marussia — by f inishing ninth a t l a st year's Monaco Grand Prix.

NFL's first full-time female official lowkey as debut nears IRVING, Texas (AP) — Sarah Thomas shared hugs and idle chatter at her first preseason clinic since the NFL made her the first full-time female on-field ofFicial.

All of her colleagues were doing the same thing Friday in what amounts to the unofficial end of their offseason. The pharmaceutical representative and mother of three was just another one of the guys, which is how she hopes coaches and players see her when the regular season starts in two months.

"I know it may be new for some, but I think being a part of the developmental program and going that

way, maybe they'll see me just as an official," Thomas said. "That's how I want them to see me."

The 41-year-old Thomas won't be the first woman to

call a regular-season game.

That was Shannon Eastin in 2012 when the NFL used replacement officials during a labor dispute.

But she will be the first one gett ing afullseasonand a lot of attention along the way.

Thomas, who will be a line judge in 2015, is already the first female official in major college football, and the first to work a bowl game. She's been in the NFL's development program for two years, so she has done training camps and preseason games.

Two pitches doom Gray, A's in loss to Twins OAKLAND (AP) — Sonny Gray rarely gives up home runs, and this time he surrendered two, one a grand slam.

Oakland's All-Star ace rarely needs long innings to get through opposing batting orders. On Friday night he threw 38 pitches just to finish the sixth.

Trevor Plouffe hit a grand slam against Gray in the sixth inning after Brian Dozier led off the game with his 20th home run, and the Minnesota Twins beat the Athletics 5-0 on Friday night.

"It is a surprise when he gives up a home run. It really came down to two pitches where they scored all their runs," A's manager Bob Melvin said. "He threw a lot of pitches in the sixth, something he normally doesn't do."

After Aaron Hicks drew a one-out walk in the second, Gray (10-4) retired 11straight beforeDozier walked to get things going in the sixth.

Gray — who won his only two previousstarts against the Twins, both in 2013 — allowed five runs and five hits in six innings with four strikeouts and two walks. He was done after that 38-pitch sixth.

"I made a few bad pitches and they took advantage,"

Gray said. "I hung an 0-2 pitch to Plouffe, he put a good swing on it and got just enough of it.

Maybe my stufF just wasn't as sharp."

Plouffe fi gured he had a sacrifice fiy, calling his second career grand slam "a little wind-aided.

'Tll take it," he said.

sota, and he waited months to finally earn it.

Santana worked out of a bases-loaded jam in the third and won in his third start since returning from an 80game suspension for performance-enhancing drugs.

The veteran right-hander allowed five hits to improve to 15-6 with a 2.03 ERA in 27 startsagainst the A's.

So what's my forecast for the upcoming season? Let' s first examine Wilson's chess

moves. He had said in early June that he would "need to add a couple of pieces by September." But he has already made more than a couple of moves, and it's only midduly: Dealt away was Antti ¹ emi, the goalie who did five seasons of very decent work for the Sharks but never stole any big playoff game.

Arriving via trade is Martin

Jones, formerly the Los Angeles Kings' backup goalie behind All-Star Jonathan Quick.

Jones was good in that role, with a 1.99 goals-against average. But there's no guarantee how he will do as a full-time

starting goalie.

Gone was John Scott, a fine fellowand rugged pounder but no scoring threat at the wing.

Arriving as a free agent is Joel Ward, a reliable 34-yearold forward who had 19 goals and 34 points for Washington last season.

Exiting were Scott Hannan and Matt Irwin, two defensemen who played at the bottom end of the blue line rotation.

Acquired is Paul Martin, who at age 34 has played in 697 games as a consistent defender with Pittsburgh and New Jersey while almost always finishing in the plus column. Mark Cundari, a young defenderwith promise,is also a new Shark Potential rookies who could jump up and make an offensive impact include Nikolay Goldobin, the team's top pick of 2014 — and perhaps even Timo Meier, selected as the No. 9 overall pick last month.

(Bet on Goldobin making the team before Meier.)

Is all of that going to be enough for a major boost in

the standings? One of The Hockey News' numerical meat

grindersperformed some calculations using the WAR (wins-against-replacement) statistic and declared that as a team, the Sharks have so far had the NHL's second-best offseason in terms of boosting theirvictory expectations.

By the WAR metric, the Sharks have added 3.3 wins to their roster compared with a year ago. Only the Buffalo Sabres did better, with an addition of 4.4 wins.

You may be thinking to yourself: "Gee, 3.3 wins is not a monumentalleap."And you would be correct. Using the NHL standings formula, 3.3 wins equates to six or seven extra points. And last season, six or seven more points still would not have put the Sharks in the playoffs. They m issed by eight.

In other words, to have any hope of playingin Ma y orJune next season, our beloved Los

OPEN Continued from PageCl empty given the late hour, fanspoured out ofthe restaurants and pubs lining the 18th hole. Marshals gave up any hope ofenforcing their rules against taking photographs during a round, and dozens of flashes went off as Watson tapped in his final putt.

"There should be no tears," Watson said. "I have some wonderful memories."

He wasn't a fan of links golf early in his career but won the British Open on his very first try in 1975. Watson would win it four more times over the next eight years, as golds oldest championship came to define his career.

There were plenty of triumphs, most notably his famous "Duel in the Sun" with Jack Nicklaus in 1977, and a heartbreaking near-miss at age 59, when he was poised to become the sport's oldest major championbefore a bogey at the72nd hole and a playoff loss to Stewart Cink.

"If I entertamed the fans with some great golf shots, that's all I wanted to do,"he said."I think I hit a few of them."

THE UN' DEMO CRAT

There weren't many great shots in Watson's final British Open. He conceded beforehand that he could no longer compete with players young enough to be his grandchildren, and he will likely finish last in the 156-player field when the second round is completed Saturday morning.

Watson finished with a 12over 156 total.

As the clouds thickened and the skies darkened, it looked as though he would have to return for one more day to finish his round. He asked his playing partners, Ernie Els and Brandt Snedeker, what they wanted to do, knowing they were both fighting to make the cut.

Both said they wanted to keep going.

At the 17th hole, an R&A official informed Els that play would have to be suspended.

The Big Easy urged the official to let Watson's group complete the round.

'They were getting ready to blow the horn," Els said. "I told them, You need to speak to someone about that.' I was like,'C'mon, man, you've got a legend here. There's nobody going to pitch up at 6:30 in the morning to say goodbye."

Nick Faldo, the three-time Open champion regarded as Britain's greatest champion, came out of the TV tower to play St. Andrews one last time.

He switched into a sweater that he wore for his first Open title in 1987 at Muirfield, thrust his arms in the air atop the Swilcan Bridge, and saved par for a 71.

And then there was Woods, headed toward the wrong kind of history. Barring a burst of birdies when he returns Saturday morning— thekind of form he has not shown in two years — he was likely to miss the cut in the U.S. Open and the British Open for the first time in the same year. Woods was 5 over with seven holes to play.

So much attention has been on Spieth and Jordan, the main characters from the drama that played out at Chambers Bay last month. Johnson had a 12-foot eagle putt on the final hole to win the U.S. Open, and three-putted to finish one shot behind golf s new golden child.

The wind was fierce, taxing shots with every club in the bag down to the putter.

mer away with his driver, setting up birdies, and he looked every bit like the player to beat. Spieth got in enough trouble off the tee that he often left long-range putts that led to bogeys instead of birdies.

Behind them, a long list of players lined up to take their shot on the weekend.

Jason Day, in contention at Chambers Bay even though he battled symptoms of vertigo, was at 8-under par through 11 holes. Paul Law
