The Tuolumne County SherifFs Office continues to investigate the Saturday robbery of a pizza delivery driver in Sonora.

A Mono Way Round Table Pizza employee was making a delivery on Lambert Lakes Road when, at about 4:45 p.m., she was reportedly flagged down by a Hispanic male, who said he orderedthe pizza,a SheriIFsOffice pressrelease stated.

The delivery driver then exited the vehicle and removed the pizzafrom the car.

The suspect reached into the car, shut the engine off and removed the key from the ignition. He then used force to take the driver's cell phone, money bag and the pizza, the press release said.

Approximately $100 was in the money bag at the time of the robbery.

The suspect then threw the driver's car keys down the road and said, "Don't leave for 15 minutes." He fled in a silver vehicle, similar to a PT Cruiser, the press release said.

The drivereventually found her keys,droveback to Round Table Pizza and called authorities. She was not injured and didnotseea w eapon atthe time ofthe robbery.

An extensivearea check was done by Tuolumne County SherifFs deputies, but the suspect was not located.

SherifFs Sgt. Scott Johnson said the suspect was involved with the planning of the robbery.

"I don't know if he had an accomplice that made the call, or he actually made the call — but it was all related," he said.

The suspect was wearing a white tank top, dark shorts and athletic shoes.

He isdescribed as between 20 and 30 years old, 5 feet 9 inches tall, with a skinny build and forearm tattoos.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Tuolumne County SherifFs Office at 533-5815.

Oil leak caused Marine Iet crash SAN DIEGO (AP) — An oil leak caused a Marine fighter jet to crash in a Southern California neighborhood last year, setting several homes on flre and destroying the aircraft, it was reported Monday.

The AV-8B Harrier went down on June 4, 2014, after a crack in an oil drain tank caused a leak that sparked a fire, engine failure and total loss of flight control, according to a Marine investigative report.

The document was obtained by the San Diego Union-Tribune through a Freedom of Information Act request.

The Harrier was developed with the ability to take off and land vertically. It has been in use for decades by the Marine Corps, which has 130 of the aging planes and is slowly phasing them out in favor of a new Joint Strike Fighter.

WASHINGTON — Current quibbling over what Jeb Bush meant when he said it's time to phase out and replaceMedicare — as opposed to"attacking the seniors," as one woman at a recent event bellowed out — will soon seem quaint against the realities of our future.

Never mind projections that the program will only be able to finance 86 percent of its obligations by 2030. Or that by2050, the number declines to 80 percent,according to a recently released Social Security and Medicare Boards of Trustees report.

These are relatively comforting numbers compared to new projections from the Alzheimer's Association. By 2050, the group says, 16 million Americans will have Alzheimer's at a cost of$1.1 trillion per year, mostly to Medicare and Medicaid.

Today, by cornparison, 5.3 million have the disease.

"Basically, it will bankrupt Medicare," said Rob Egge, the Alzheimer' s Association's chief public policy officer. I met with Egge and chief science officer Maria Carrillo during the association's recent international conference in Washington.

The 2015 cost of care for Alzheimer's and all other dementias is estimated at $226 billion, with 68 percent being paid by Medicare and Medicaid, said Egge.

This total includes only direct costs for the care of Alzheimer's sufferers — there currently is no treatmentand doesn't take into consideration unpaid care by families. Within the next 10 years, 19 states will see at least a 40 percent increase in the number of people affected.

Lest you feel overwhelmed by numbers — and demoralized by the reduction of human suffering to numerical

Kgfhleen

values — sufficeit to say that we are in a state of emer-

gency. Yet, even with this obvious urgency, relatively few resourceshave been dedicated to research for prevention and treatment compared to other chronic diseases.

This, despite the fact that Alzheimer's is the 6th leading cause of death in the U.S., according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Current federal funding is less than $600 million annually, while top scientists say they' ll need $2 billion a year tomeet the association's 2025 goal of prevention and effective treatment. There's cause for some hope.

Last month, bipartisan House and Senate subcommittees approved increasing funding to the National Institutes of Health for Alzheimer's research by 50 percent and 60percent,respectively.

If this funding becomes law — and the association's goalsare met — costscould be reduced by $220 billion over the first five years and $367 billion in 2050 alone, accordingtoan association report.Sixty percentofthose savings would accrue to Medicare and Medicaid.

Among other scientific developments reported this week, researchers have isolated a "common ancestor"

among all forms of dementia, including Alzheimer' s, Parkinson's and Lewy body.

"All are caused by misfolding proteins," Carrillo explained to me. Two different "misfolded" proteins — amyloid beta and tau — are toxic to brain cells.

I am sad to report these proteins cannot be corrected with daily doses of a sturdy zinfandel. There is, however, a new drug that delivers a molecule scientists have created to "chaperone" these naughty proteins so that they foldcorrectly.

Carrillo doesn't want to overstate the value of this one-target-one-molecule approach, though it is promising. She suggests that eventually we' ll treat Alzheimer' s with a "cocktail" that will be created based on an individual's genetic makeup and other factors.

Other hope-inspiring developments include six diagnostic tools that, in combination, can be useful in predicting Alzheimer' s. They include memory and thinking tests, as well as MRI scans that can measure the thickness of the brain's right entorhinal cortex and the volume of the hippocampus, both of which are important to memory.

It is reassuring that both policymakers and scientists are committedto tackling these diseases before we're all trying to remember what we were trying to remem-

ber. But women especially should be interested in the progress of dementia research. For reasons unknown, women suffer Alzheimer's at a higher rate — two-thirds of today's sufferers are women. And women's function declines twice as fast as men' s. This fall, the association will issue an international call for research on why this is so.

In the meantime, Congress should waste no time in correcting the travesty of too-little funding for a devastating disease that demands our urgent attention.

Otherwise, what to do about Medicare will be rendered irrelevant.

Barack Obama rose on a promise of harmony, but has used power to rend the nation along all of its weakest seams.

This brand of leadership has not left his followershappier,butmore bitter.Asfor his opponents, they are by turns grieving and disbelieving at the damage he's been able to infiict.

The only answer to division and hatred on the left is inclusion and unity on the right. A number of Republican candidates for president have been seeking to recast the Republican Party as the party of reform and outreach. They recognize that a party that lost not just the Hispanic vote, the black vote, the women' s vote and the youth vote, but also the Asian vote has an image problem. As any number of successful Republican senators and governors have shown, it isn' t

necessary to adopt any particular policy (e.g., amnesty) to attract the votes of more Hispanics or Asians. It is necessary for the party to convey a welcoming spirit. Such a tone may even attract fencesitting white voters who are left cold by a party that appears uninterested in the plight of the poor.

That is the Republican challenge and opportunity. Success beckons — but only post-Trump.

Greece launches Plan B bailout talks

os o ea SACRAMENTO (AP) — The cost of private individual health plans on California's state-run market will increase about 4percent for the second straight year,evidence the strategy of forcing insurers to compete is controlling costs, program officials said Monday.

The average premium will rise 4 percent in 2016, a slight decrease from the 4.2 percent jump in 2015, said Peter Lee, executivedirectorofCovered California.

The average increase in Southern California is 1.8 percent, for a total of $296 a month, compared to 7 percent, or a total of $384 a month, in Northern California. Southern Californians can getbetterratesbecause the region has m ore provider competition.

The exchange also added two new participants for the first time — UnitedHealthcare, the nation's largest health insurer, and a New York startup called Oscar.

"The health plans know that if they price their products too high and consumers know it's too high, because it' s an apples-to-apples comparison, they will not get enrollment," Lee said.

The announcement was applauded by consumer groups and health advocates.

"While any increase in premiums may be hard on family budgets, this relatively small jump means California made sound decisions in establishing

One of the main goals of President Barack Obama's health overhaul was to slow increases in health care costs and premiums.

Malaysia, Cuba taken off human trafficking list WASHINGTON (AP) — D emocratic lawmakers and rights groups on Monday accused the State Department of politicizing its annual rankings of nations on their efforts to combat modern-day slavery, as key trading partner Malaysia was taken off a blacklist.

Cuba was also given an upgrade, a week afterthe U.S. and Cuba formally restored diplomatic relations, ending a half-century of estrangement.

But Thailand, downgraded with Malaysialast year because of pervasive labor abuses in its lucrative fishing industry, remained stuck on "tier 3"the lowest ranking in the department's annual Trafficking in Persons Report.

Undersecretary of S t ate Sarah Sewall denied political considerations had come into play.

Secretary of State John Kerry formally launched the annual U.S. assessment of how 188 governments around the world have performed in fighting the flesh trade and other forms of exploitative labor, which he described asa "battle against money."

He said the report was not intended to "name and shame" but to galvanize action against an i l licit trade that the U.N. estimates generates $150 billion in profits each year, in industries also including mining, construction and domestic service.

Critics contend that M alaysia's upgrade isrelated to its participation in a U.S.-backedtrade agreement among Pacific Rim countries.

Thailand isnot part of the proposed agreement.

"Upgradesfor Malaysia and Cuba are a clear politicization of the report,and a stamp of approval for countries who have failed to take the basic actions to merit this upgrade," Democratic Sen. Robert Menendez said in a statement.

Democratic Rep. Lloyd Doggett said of Malaysia's upgrade: "Bending the standards to reward a country that accepts trade in women, children, and forced laborers is wrong."

Finance Minister Euclid Tsakalotos said late Monday that meetings in Athens had begun between Greek officials and negotiating teams representing creditors, with talks to intensify Tuesday, paving the way for higher level discussions possibly by the end of the week.

4-Star general to head

Air Force nuclear drive WASHINGTON (AP) — Working to reinvigorate its nuclearforce after years of missteps and scandal, the Air Force is putting a fourstar general in charge for the first time in the postCold War era. His mission: Restore institutional muscle and assert more influence on the force's behalf.

"Having a four-star in charge of this command will be crucial," Air Force Secretary Deborah Lee James said in a n i n t erview,"because rank matters."

G en. Robin Rand, a career fighter pilot, will take over Tuesday as commander of Air Force Global Strike Command, replacing

L t . Gen. Stephen Wilson.

Rand has never served in the nuclear force, but he has broad experience in the Air Force, most recently as commander of the organization in charge of all recruiting, technical training and professional military education.

He steps in amid optimism in the Air Force that it has put its nuclear force back on track. A series of Associated Press reports revealedthat the force had atrophiedand morale had suffered,in part because of a lack of resources as other arms ofthe service prevailed in competition for dollars and power.

A $20 million grant through SB 1022,another jail construction measure, was awarded to the county in January 2014.

The county would be required to pay forabout $9 million of the proposed $42 million jail at the future Law and Justice Center campus, which is also slated to include a new courthouse and law and administrative offices. A regional juvenile detention facility is

November 2007:Tuolumne County Board of Supervisors reach a tentative agreement with Gardella family to purchase50 acres ofland offOldW ards Ferry Road in Sonora for proposed Law Bnd Justice Center campus. The deal was approved two years later.

Finding additional room has forced some changes over the years to maximize the limited space. Rapoza's desk, for example, is located in a former storage closet without air-conditioning or a heater.

There's not enough space in the tight hallways of the housing units for two people to stand side-by-side, forcing deputies to do some tricky maneuvering when moving inmates from their cells.

"You go around so many turns and corners. People get lost in here." Rapoza said. "If you have to wrestle with an inmate, it can be difficult."

Although Rapoza has never been injured by an inmate, other jail deputiesare notasfortunate.In 2014,Jail Deputy Jacob Reynolds was slashed acrossthe face by a razor-wielding inmate while escorting him from the showers to his cell.

However, those arrested for more serious crimes while awaiting sentencing to state prison are held at the jail as well.

"You have the rapists and murderers here until they get sent to prison," she said.

Tracking the violent incidents that occur at the jail can be a problem due to an outdated and inefficient recordkeeping system, jail officials said.

The Union Democrat requested the number of incidents over the past severalyears between inmates, aswellas inmate attacks on jail deputies. McCaig said in an email that much of the statist ics are taken by hand, so providing the numbers would take up too much staff time and resources.

gardlessof the length of their term.

Proposition 47, approved by voters in 2014, further reduced certam lowerlevelfelonies — such as drug possession — down to misdemeanors.

The county's jail was built to house inmates for no more than 18 months at a time. Now, some inmates in the facility are serving multiple-year sentences — such as one inmate who is slated for release in seven years with good behavior. ''We have extremely violent people here and it's hard to keep them separated from someone with a lesser offense, like burglary," McCaig said.eWe have to keep them separated because some have something to lose, and some don' t."

Andre Bowen, 26, of Sonora, who was released in early June after serving six months in the county jail, said he experienced overcrowding and felt the jail had trouble keeping offenders segregated.

Bowen pleaded guilty to felony firstdegreeresidentialburglary in connection with a stabbing and robbery that occurred Nov. 21 in Jamestown involving his &iend, Michael Anthony Gilbert, who received 15 years in state prison.

Bowen, who gave Gilbert a ride to the victim's house, said he didn' t know what transpired until after the fact and only pleaded guilty as a codefendant so his friend could take the plea deal.

While in jail, Bowen said his cell

"For example, we cannot search the

jail incident reports by specific ofFenses," she said in the email. 'We would need to go through each and every incident report to see if the rule violation was a violent one or not."

State mandates Increasing the urgency for an updated jail was the state's 2011 "public safety realignment" that redefined the level of crimes for which people can be sent to prison. The law's purpose was to reduce the overcrowding in the state's prisons, as ordered by the

Calaveras Bnd Amador counties.

July 2015: County is offered $13 million from the Board of State and Community Corrections to complete funding for a new jail, with construction slated for completion sometime in 2019.

The new jail would increase capacityfrom 147 to216 beds.Itwould also be designed in a way to increase stafF effic iency and provide better services for inmates, county officials said.

Construction would be completed sometime in 2019.

In addition to the $9 million for construction, the county would need to pay $2 million to build the roads and remaining utility infrastructure to servethe site.

Pedro said all of the county's portion of the funding will likely come from a mix of one-time funds and internal borrowing, though his staff is also exploring the possibility of acquiring loans on the private market.

'The intent is to not ask county taxpayers for the money to pay for this," he said.

Since the project was first conceived in 2000, the county has dedicated nearly $10 million to the project through various sources.

About half of the money went toward the purchase of about 50 acres Source: The Tuolumne County off Old Wards Ferry Road &om the Administrator'a Office Gardella family in 2009.

by 24 percent, district interim GM David Andres said in a revised agenda item distributed Monday for this evening's TUD board meeting. Phase III Water Restrictions "should only be lifted after water supply returns to normal and the state has lifted its prohibitions."

The TUD board approved 30 percent water use restri ctions compared to customers' 2013 use after a public hearing April 28. At that time, "extremely dry conditions and low reservoir levels" made it prudent for TUD to impose conservation targets ex-

ceeding Gov. Jerry Brown's April 1 call for mandatory 25 percent water use cut-

backs statewide, according to district staff "Based on information at that point in time, it was predicted that Pinecrest Lake would only reach 75 percent capacity and that Lyons Reservoir would not fill and spill," Andres said.

"As a result, the 30 percent mandatory reduction was adopted. S u bsequently district customers have responded by reducing treated water use by 41 percent for June 2015. In addition, both Pinecrest and Lyons reachedfullcapacity."

Andres wants mandatory 30 p ercent water use reductions to stay in place because the summer

months are when people use the most w ater f or

uses including outdoor irrigation, Andres said.

"At this point in time I believe it is too early to determine whether you will meet the state mandated requirement of a 24 percent reduction," Andres said. "Other factors include that your primary water savings will have to be achieved over the next 60 daysin order to attain the 24 percent reduction and that you may risk confusing our customers about the need to conserve if your goal is changed at this time."

Andres said he recommends the TUD board keep 30 percent reductions in place and then re-evaluate in September. District customers have conserved so well over the past two years that water revenues have decreased by more than $1.8 million, according to TUD staff In other TUD business today, the board is expected to hear about delinquent sewer charges, a

One for the table: Kansas City style sauce

Venice, Italy. As a food and travel writer, I was obsessed with making a visit to this most unique city. With no cars — only boats that took us from place to place — it's like a floating metro system.

We stayed at The BAUERs Palladio Hotel & SPA on the Giudecca island facing St. Mark's Square. The converted 16thcentury convent, now a relaxing hotel, has been beautifully restored with up-to-date amenities, and rustic, wild gardens have beenpreservedin thehuge backyard.Ifully expected Maggie Smith and her friends to show up for tea. These features make the Palladio a unique and wonderful place of refuge while experiencing Venice.

Owned by the Bauer family, this hotel had impeccable Italian service. I also dined at their flagship Bauer Hotel across the Giudecca canal near San Marco. As I sat on the terrace overlooking the Grand Canal (there's a fork between the two canals at this point), I had a memorable Venetian experience. The chef was on a roll that night, emphasizing Friulian wine and ingredients.

Friuli is north of Venice, kind of like Napa and Sonoma are north of San Francisco.

Each dish was more delicious and exquisitely presented than the last.

The most memorable dish was the surprise birthday cake the chef sent up to my room. Full of apples and not too sweet, but very moist, the cake captured a childhood taste memory. When I asked the chef for the recipe, he said it was his grandmother's. He called it a classic Italian fruitcake. Best of all, it's really easy to make.

After many attempts torecreate the chef's version, I finally had success with this delectable adaptation. His was showered with powdered sugar across the top, but I decided to make a lacy glaze. Use a cooking apple, like the Gala, Pippin or Granny Smith, for a great textural result.

Raisins and molasses give this homemade barbecue sauce a bit of something extra to make it a favorite summer time spread.

W e are big barbecue lovers. Ribs, pulled pork and brisket make for an amazing meal, but the sauce has to be right. Sometimes I crave tangy, vinegar-based Eastern Carolina barbecue sauce. But lately, I' ve wanted something sweet with a little bit of smoke on the side.

Kansas City style barbecue sauce is known for its balanced, sweet-smokyspicy flavor. It can be hard to achieve since the sweetness can easily overpower the other flavors. However, I' ve been tweaking the recipe and I think I' ve finally got it. Practice makes perfect!

The sauce is thick and somewhat dark brown. It's powerful and ornery with lots of attitude. I love this sauce on pulled pork and all kinds of other barbecue. I have been spending a lot of time learning about all the differ-

There are rubs, the way meat is cut and how it's smoked. I hope I get to visit all the different barbecue regions one dayand figure out which one I like best. For now, I will stick with this sauce and see where it takes me.

Some adrenalnodules can produce hormones DEAR DR. ROACK My husband' s recent CT scan of his stomach and digestive system with and without contrast revealed that he has nodules on both adrenal glands. It was suggested that he undergo a blood test to determine if the nodules are producing hormones.

For the past 21 months, he has been experienc inghighbloodpressure,nausea, diarrhea, anxiety and abdominal pain.

Could this be the source of his problems?

If so, what course of action would you recommend? —J.S. ANSWER: The adrenal gland is responsible for the production of several important hormones essential for regulating body function. Tumors, or nodules, of the adrenal glands are common. They can be categorized into those that make hormones and those that don' t, and also by whether the tumors are benign or malignant. The most common, by far, are benign, nonfunctioning tumors. These usuallyarediscovered on an ultrasound ora CT scan obtained for some other reason.

They go by thewhimsicalname "adrenal incidentalomas." More than 4 percent of people have an adrenal mass, and 85percent of these are nonfunctional.

To Your Good Health Keith Roach, M.D. However, the symptoms your husband has been having raise a concern that he may havea hormone-producing tumor.

There are four types of hormones commonlyproducedby adrenal tumors: cortisone, aldosterone,sex hormones (estrogen or androgens) and catecholamines (epinephrine and norepinephrinel.

A cortisone-producing adrenal tumor causesCushing'ssyndrome,usuallycausing weight gain, especially in the abdomen, skin changes (including striae, or "stretch marks"), high blood pressure and a predisposition to diabetes. Anxiety and abdominal pain are uncommon.

Aldosteroneraises blood pressure,

band are not common for this.

Adrenal tumors that make epinephrine and the related norepinephrjne are called pheochromocytomas. Hypertension is almost universal with this condition, andanxietyisfrequentlyreported.

Sex-hormone-producing tumors are rare, and they present in men with androgen excess or feminization, in the case of estrogen-secreting tumors.

Although your husband's symptoms are not specific for any one condition, the combination of his symptoms and adrenal nodules concern me. I agree com-

pletely with the recommendation to look for excess amounts of hormone in the blood. This often can be achieved with a simple blood test; however, occasionally a catheter is placed in the adrenal vein to sample blood coming from the gland (and its nodule) directly. By comparing one side against the other, the doctors can determine which side might be producing excess hormone.

An endocrinologist is the expert most so a person with a functioning adre- likely to have familiarity with these connal tumor making aldosterone usually ditions. has high blood pressure, but the other DEAR DR.

ting periodic CT scans because of her ovarian cancer. The first time she had a

scan, she wasgiven a white, chalky liquid containing the marker. It made her sick to her stomach. The next time she had a CT scan, she was offered a soda with the markertodrink.She was able to drink that with no nausea. Doesshe get as good a scan with the soda as she would get from drinking the white chalky stufP. A.H. ANSWER: Both barium-based contrast (the chalky stufI) and iohexol-based or gastrograff in-based contrast (usually put into flavored soda or lemonade) provide excellent-quality images. Some people have difficulty with the taste, and all can cause nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Barium can cause constipation.

Sometimes the type of scan requires one type versus the other, but otherwise the decisio n can be made based on patient preference.

Today is Tuesday, July 28, the 209th day of 2015. There are 156 days left in the year.

Today's Highlights in History: On July 28,1945, a U.S. Army bomber crashed into the 79th floor of New York' s Empire State Building, killing 14 people. The U.S. Senate ratified the United Nations Charter by a vote of 89-2.

On this date: In 1915, more than 300 American sailors and Marines arrived in Haiti to restore order following the killing of Haitian President Vibrun Guillaume Sam by rebels, beginning a 19-year U.S. occupation.

In 1932, federal troops forcibly dispersed the socalled "Bonus Army" of World War I veterans who had gathered in Washington to demand payments they weren't scheduled to receive until 1945.

In 1959, in preparation for statehood, Hawaiians voted to send the first ChineseAmerican, Republican Hiram L. Fong, to the U.S. Senate and the first JapaneseAmerican, Democrat Daniel K. Inouye, to the U.S. House of Representatives.

In 1965, President Lyndon B. Johnson announced he was increasing the number of American troops in South Vietnam from 75,000 to 125,000 "almost immediately."

In 1976, an earthquake devastated northern China, killing at least 242,000 people, according to an official estimate.

In 1984, the Los Angeles Summer Olympics opened.

In 1995, a jury in Union, South Carolina, rejected the death penalty for Susan Smith, sentencing her to life in prison for drowning her two young sons (Smith will be eligible for parole in 2024).

Against two diamonds doubled, West led the spade queen.East won with his ace and returned the four, his lowest card being a suit-preference signal for clubs. West ruffed and shifted to the club seven. East won with his jack and led the spade nine.

South was in an unenviable position. If he discarded a club, East would have just led another spade. But when declarer ruffed, West overruffed and played another club. South ended up losing one spade, one heart, four diamonds (East scored his diamond six via a trump promotion) and three clubs to go down four, minus 800.

Your eyes do not deceive you. This is breakfast that you can eat one-handed while walking to the bus stop, and it has just as much going for it as a bowl ofyogurtwith granola and fruit.In fact, it is a bowl of yogurt — just in frozen popsicle form. Time to dig out those popsicle moldsl

The yogurt I use Greek yogurt for the base of thesebreakfastpops,because Ilove its tangy flavor and it's what I usually have in the fridge. Since Greek yogurt is so thick, you need to thin it out with a bit of milk to make it easy to layer into the popsicle molds. While you' re at it, whisk in a little honey to keep things sweet. If you' re not into Greek yogurt, you could use regularyogurt instead; no need to thin it out, though.

The berries Now let's talk about the jammy berry layer. Berries are so amazing right now (hello, mid-summerl), but even the freshest,ripest berries tend to freeze

into tasteless rocks if left to their own devices. This is why I take things one extra step with these popsicles and make a quick jam with the fresh fruit.

Cooking them and adding a bit of sugar givesthe berries a deeper fl avor that carries over into frozen form; plus, the sugar keeps the fruit a soft enough to nibble even when frozen. If you' re short on time or short on berries, you can alsosubstitute a fruitjam orpreserves.

Tribune Content Agency You'llneed about a cup ofpreserves for Fruit, honey and granola make these breakfast popsicles a healthy treat. these popsicles.

The granola Use any granola you like. These popsicles are especially handy for using up a handful of leftover granola that's gone a bitstale.Once layered into the popsiclesand frozen, the granola softens to theconsistency ofsoftoatmeal cookies. And, yes, that's just as delicious as you' re hoping it will be.

My popsicle molds (these from Tovolo) each hold about V2 cup of yogurt parfait goodness.Forme ,thisistheperfect amount to start my day or — let' s be honest here — finish it. Either way, m y freezer isgoing to be stocked with a steadysupply ofthese yogurt popsicles from now until the end of summer.

Yogurt Parfait Break ast Po sicles Makes 6 popsicles 1 1/2 pints strawberries, hulled and roughly chopped

(around 3cupschopped) 1/4 cup sugar (or honey) 1 cup Greek yogurt 1/4 to 1/2 cup milk 2 to 3 tablespoons honey 3/4 cups granola Combine the strawberries and sugar (or honey) in a small sauce-

pan and stir gently to combine. Let the berries macerate on the counter for at least 10 minutes, until the sugar is dissolved and syrupy.

Place the pan over medium-high heat and bring to a rapid simmer.

Cook for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring often, until the strawberries are thick and jammy. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature. You should have about 1 cup of jammy fruit. (At this point, the strawberries can be refrigerated for up to a week.)

When ready to assemble the popsicles, whisk together the yogurt, 1/4 cup of the milk and 2 tablespoons of honey. The yogurt should be thick, but pourable (roughly the consistency of regular yogurt). If needed, whisk in a little more milk. Taste and add more honey if desired.

Scoop out 1/4 cup of the yogurt mixture and stir it into the granola.

This will help the granola freeze into the popsicles.

Arrange six popsicle molds (1/2 cup capacity) on your work surface. Pour a generous spoonful of yogurt into the bottom of each m old.

Add a scoop ofgranola and then a spoonful or two of straw-

berries. Continue layering yogurt, granola and strawberries until the molds are filled. Tap the molds lightly against the counter, or use a popsicle stick to work out any air bubbles between the layers.

Insert popsicle sticks into each mold and place the popsicles in the freezer. Freeze until solid, at least 6 hours.

To unmold, run the popsicle molds under hot running water for afew seconds and gentl y easy the popsicles out of the molds. Popsicles will keep in the freezer for several weeks.

Recipe notes: You can substitute 1 1/4 cups of regular yogurt for the Greek yogurt. As long as it's pourable, there's no need to thin the yogurt any further.

The strawberries can be replaced with an equal amount of any other fruit.

You can also substitute 1 cup any flavor of jam or fruit preserves for the berries. Skip the jam-making step and proceed with assembling the popsicles.

The suddenly aggressive Mets shipped Casey Meisner to the Athletics in a swap of righthanders that increases New York's payroll by a little more than $2 million.

The 30-year-old Clippard, eligible for free agency after this season, is 1-3 with a 2.79 ERA and 17 saves in 21 chances. The Athletics obtained him from Washington in January.

Beane optimistic adout new park

r~, ~ r'~>

OAKLAND (AP) — Athletics general manager Billy Beane remains optimistic Oakland will get a new

ballpark.

Someday, some way. He' s not sure how it will happen, but hopes it occurs during his tenure running the club.

"Because like everybody else, as much as everybody else likes stability, I can assure you nobody wants it more than I do," Beane said. "I would anticipate it happening at some point."

Beane spoke on a conference call to discuss Monday's trade that sent reliever Tyler Clippard to the New York Mets for minor league pitcher Casey Meisner. The GM offered no specifics on a new ballpark other than to say, "maybe the environment is, maybe it's right." Beane noted it would make it "a lot easier to plan from a baseball operations standpoint."

Former Commissioner Bud Selig repeatedly said the A' s couldn't sustain themselves in the run-down Coliseum they share with the NFL's Oakland Raiders. Last summer, the A's reached a 10year lease agreement with the OaklandAlameda County Coliseum Authority to stay in their current home.

The A's would like to relocate to San Jose, where the San Francisco Giants hold territorial rights. A's owner Lew Wolff has said proposed locations to build in Oakland aren' t feasible.

Over 200 swimmers, divided into four 5-minute waves, raced into the cold, 60-degree rough water under cloudy skies.

Following an initial zig-zag course from shore, the first swimmer on each of the six-member teams moved out

into open water.

Each swimmer completed a 30-minute leg followed by a 15-minute swim and finally rotating 10-minute sections until reaching the Skylandia Beach in Lake Forest, California.

Each team's accompanying boat guided the swimmers during the approximate10-milerace.

Two Tuolumne County Aquatic Masters teams competed in the relay event.

Racing in the open division, the Yet Again team composed of Karen Aldridge, 39, John Swanson, 68, Norm Lapera, 63, Brad Zook, 59, Mark Croghan, 62, and Candace Wilson, 60, finished the swim in 5 hours, 44 minutes.

CHAMP Continued from PageCl times throughoutthe fight.

For thefirst 30-seconds of the fight, Barao looked like a man on a mission, and Dillashaw had his hands full.

Barao was quick, powerful, and appeared to be well prepared for the champ. As quickly as Barao looked as if he might have the upper hand, it all went away. Dillashaw showed everyone, why he is pound-for-pound one of the best fighters in the world.

gave the impression that he was trying to find the formula for nuclear cold fusion. Chryst has simplified the 49ers' play calling. He's a strong believer in team chemistry. He grew up with the game. His dad was a coach at Wisconsin, where young Geep played Wiflle ball and tag inside Camp Randall Stadium. Then he went off to play linebacker at Princeton and earn an Ivy League degreebefore starting a coaching career that has spanned 22 NFL seasons with five different teams.

This background means that Chryst can converse on lots of subjects. But in Monday's wideranging discussion, the most interesting territory concerned a familiar topic: Colin Kaepernick. The 49ers' quartetback had Chryst as a position coach forthepastfouryears.

'Tm anxious to see Kap," Chryst said, "because I think he's anxious to show people where he's at and where he can take his game." To no one's shock, Chryst is a Kap fan. In addressing the perception that the quarterback "regressed" last season, Chryst fi rst outlined Kaepernick's remarkable career progression &om rookie backup to meteoric starter who came within seconds of reach-

"I thought he was beat before the fight until he started," Dillashaw said to the Associated Press. "He came out to win. He came out aggressive, he threw some big bombs. That first 30 seconds — 'All right, he means business,' — but as the fight kept going I kept getting stronger and he kept getting weaker, I thought."

What won the fightfor Dillashaw was his outstanding conditioning as the fight surged on. The same could not be said for Barao. The No. 1 contender could not keep

ing two consecutive Super Bowls in 2012 and 2013.

"And then last year," Chryst said, "you' re playing with some different sets of challenges.

There was more change within the offensive line than he had experienced the last couple of years.

How does that affect your production as a quarterback? You' re behind more often in games. How does that affect your production as a quarterback? I cite the fact that we had six touchdowns nullified by penalty. You plug that back into his formula, he really wasn't ... he didn't regress off his line as much as p But now you have to deal with, 'Hey, Kap, what's up, how come you' re wrong?"

It is true that Kaepernick did have his best individual statistical season in 2014. But the offense frequently looked disjointed. The team's 8-8 record reflected it.

"Which is also a great lesson to learn," Chryst said, "that you' re only as good as walking off the field in victory." So Chryst doesn't buy the idea t hat opponents have ~ e d the Kaeprnick code and figured out how to stymie him?

"No," Chryst said. 'Tootball is a team sport. And I can show examples of where Kap was

at a disadvantage because his team wasn't playing as well as it was around him in other games. But part of the challenge ofplaying quarterback is toovercome that,rise above that, figure out a way to win with the people that are currently around you."

Kaepernick must do that fast. The 49ers offense can' t afford another disjointed oQensive season, especiaHy out of the gate. The defensive unit's turnover has been enormous. The offense will have to carry more

Thirty-five seconds into the fourth round, Dillashaw got Barao in a corner of the octagon and unloaded a barrage of lefts and rights. The final blow was a strong right hand tothe jaw ofBarao and referee Herb Dean mercifully called the fight.

Dillashaw was awarded as the top performer of the night, giving the champ an extra $50,000 for his outstanding

offensive additions, including

"I'm really proud of my performance," Dillashaw said as reported on UFC.corn. "I got hit a little more than I wanted to,but it's because Barao's a killer. He's good."

Kaepernick a few more toys to play with and enjoy.

"Torrey, when he was with Baltimore, made some beautiful vertical plays," Chryst said."We've got to figure out a

way for Kap to read his body language, to gauge his speed.

That's the fundamental stuff you do in training camp. You want to get to game day and say, Hey, we' ve gotten much better at throwing the deep ball.' But really it starls fundamentally this week."At his various job stops, Chryst has had the opportunity to work with a fascinating array of good and bad quarterbacks: Jake Plum-

mer, Josh McCown, Boomer Esiason, Ryan Leaf; Erik Kramer, Jeff Blake, Alex Smith-and even Jim Harbaugh, in his final seasons with San Diego. How does Kaepernick fit in with those people?

"Well, he's got a unique skill set," Chryst said. "If you want a cookie-c utter quarterback, Kap's not going to be the first one you' ll pull out. But ... Kap's taller. Kap's just as smart as any of these guys. Kap's got as strong an arm as any of these guys. Kap's faster than any of these guys. So you start chMing these boxes ...'And? sHe stacks up right there with all those guys," Chryst said. "Now he just needs the experience and the optimism that this is his year.

ROdrigueZ hOmeIS On 40th birthday in YankS WinOVer RangerS ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Alex Rodriguez had quite a 40th birthday bash.

A-Rod became the fourth player in major league history to homer as a teen and in his 40s, marking his birthday by lining an opposite-field shot to right against his former team to help the New York Yankees beat the Texas Rangers 6-2 Monday night.

"It's amazing, hitting one as a teenager and hitting one here today," Rodriguez said. "A lot has happened, and I'm just happy to be here."

Ty Cobb, Rusty Staub and Gary Sheffi eld are the only otherplayers to homer before turning 20 and then at age 40

or after, according to STATS. "It's remarkable what he' s been able to do, and how good he was at such a young age, and he continues to play well at an older age," Yankees managerJoe Girardisaid.

Rodriguez has24homers this season and 678 in his career, fourth on the ail-time list. The latestcame two days after he went deepthme ti mes against Minnesota in his previous game.

'Very impressive, but you know we' re not surprised by much that he does anymore," said third baseman Chase Headley, now playing the position A-Rod had in New York before his season-long suspensionayearago forviolationsof

baseball' sdrug agreement and labor contract.

A-Rod's solo drive in the sixth off Matt Harris was the designated hitter's big league-best sixth homer on his birthday, STATS said, b~ a t i e with Todd Helton, Chipper Jones, Derrek Lee and Al Simmons.

'Yeah,it's pretty depressing being 40. I' ve had a lot of texts and emails that I' ve joined an exclusive club," Rodriguez said.

"But I'm definitely grateful and happy."

When he was traded to the Yankees before spring training in 2004, Rodriguez was only three seasons into the $252 million, 10-year contract he signed with Texas after start-

With both set to open training camp later this week under new coaches, it's natural to compare the two teams; it' s

inevitable.

And, due to a quirk in the NFL schedule, the Raiders and 49ers share eight common opponents in eight common sites (they both play all of the teams in the AFC and NFC North divisions).

The 49ers and Raiders don't play each other (they did last season, when the Raiders won 24-13 at the Coliseum on Dec. 7), but the schedules are identicalfor 50 percent ofthe season.

By the way, the Raiders haven't had a better record than the 49ers since the 2010 season. That's when the Raid-

ers went 8-8 in Tom Cable's last season and the 49ers went 6-10 in Mike Singletary's last one, which ended, interestingly enough, with Tomsula coaching the team's final game as the interim.

The two franchises went very different ways after that-the 49ers hired Jim Harbaugh, who averaged 11 victories in his four seasons, when the Raiders averaged lessthan 5 victories.

But now, the 49ers have moved past the Harbaugh era; the Raiders are beyond the Hue Jackson and Dennis Allen tenures.

So this is a good time to line up some of the key aspects of eachteam and take a few guesses about where this is headed.

I won't make season predictionsfor either team right now; but we can all see that 2015 could be a turning point
