A dragon kite from Bali, retro Pac-Man machine and ornate painted skulls adorn the walls of a bar on the edge of downtown Jamestown.

The wrap-around balcony is usually packed on weekends, with audiences there to have a beer, listen to live bands or catch the occasional comedy or burlesque show.

But, the crowd may look different than expected.

Minors and adults alike saddle up to the bar and take the stage weekly, but the owner welcomes her underage patrons with open arms — it' s why she opened the place.

Owner Tina Shackley opened the Gypsy Shack in 2012, spurred by memories of attending concerts with her parents and watching her brothers play in parking lots.

December 10, 1937 - August 12, 2014 Donald Dennis Haubrich, 76, of Sonora, CA, d ied Tuesday, August 12, 2014. Born in Dodson, M ontana o n De c e mber 1 0 , 1937, Dennis was the son of the late Edward J ames H aubrich and Catherine ("Katie") Marie

(Appelhans) Haubrich.

Jt

H is father's family wa s o f Polish-German descent, settling initially i n Mi n n esota b e f ore moving to D o dson, Montana, where Edward spent a career with The Great Northern Railroad. His mother emigrated from Russia via Germany at age 6 and settled in Dodson where her father homesteaded as a beet farmer. Catherine went to college in Havre, MT and became a teacher in the rural Dodson area. The home built by Edward's hands is still in the family and is currently the residence of Dennis' sister, Barbara Haubrich.

In 1956, Dennis graduated from Dodson High School where he was best known for his powerful Oldsmobile. Dennis Lotton, one of his two best friends, drove a souped up '56 Olds that was rumored to be involved in frequent challenge runs with Dennis. Sadly, both cars were totaled when they T-boned each other in the only intersection in Dodson. No one was hurt, both boys were the talk of the town for quite some time, and Dennis was soon seen enjoying a new '58 Ford Fairlane.

Cousin Richard Duane "Dickie" Appelhans was both Dennis' other best friend and a close member of the family. An Air Force officer and fighter pilot, Dickie failed to return from a mission over Laos on October 16, 1967 and remains officially listed as "Missing in Action." Dickie was promoted to the rank of Major while in MIA status.

Dennis played the trumpet with another close friend, Tommy Boos, who was involved in the high school band. Each of Dennis' siblings also played a musical instrument.

A proud Army veteran, Dennis served his country in the Vietnam era. In the summer of 1962, while serving in Supply at the Oakland Induction Center, he met the love of his life, Bonnie Jeanne Gamo. They married May 29, 1965 in Santa Barbara, CA and made their home in the California communities of Alameda, San Leandro and Livermore, where Dennis worked for King Bearing.

In 1974, Dennis established Haubrich Construction as sole owner, specializing in home building and repair. Dennis then built his family a beautiful, new home in Bozeman, MT from the ground up, using his amazing skills in every detail of construction.

In 1981, they returned to California to live first in Lodi where Dennis resumed his former position with King Bearing, later transferring with King to Camarillo. In 1989, Bonnie and Dennis moved their family to their permanent and beloved horne in Sonora. There in the hills of the California gold rush, their family has thrived for the past 25 years.

Dennis loved his final career, working outdoors as a civil servant at both Hollister Hills and Columbia State Parks until retiring from California State Parks and Recreation. Bonnie has enjoyed a 22 year career at Donaldson Eye Care where she continues to serve as Assistant Administrator and Manager of the Front Office and Insurance Department. Together, they raised three spirited daughters (Lori Lynne, Cathy and Aimee) and celebrate four beautiful grandchildren. Each of their daughters especially loved horseback riding, Sonora's Mother Lode Roundup and Yoga. Dennis built his life around his beloved family (who all called him "Pa") and his church. He was known for a dry and subtle sense of humor that delighted the chosen few who were tuned in. He was devoted to God, his wife, family, friends and little dog Bentley and enjoyed building and seriously appreciated a good hamburger.

In his final days, each of his daughters, along with son-in-law Tom Bunke, fiance Steve Gomez and his four grandchildren, took turns helping Bonnie keep a 24-hour bedside vigil to ensure he was always surrounded by love. After a long decline from Lewy Body Dementia with Parkinson's symptoms, Dennis slipped away quietly at 1:35 am on Tuesday morning, August 12th, 2014.

He is survived by his wife of 49 years, Bonnie Jeanne (Gamo) Haubrich; daughters Lori Lynne Haubrich of South Lake Tahoe, CA; Cathy Bunke and her husband Thomas Bunke of Solvang, CA; Aimee Soldati and her husband Brent Soldati of Surprise, AZ; grandchildren Andrew Bunke, Addison Bunke, Ariella Soldati and Alisia Soldati; and siblings Joseph J. Haubrich of Billings, MT; Edward L. Haubrich of Hamilton, MT; and Barbara Ann Haubrich of Dodson, MT. Dennis was preceded in death by his sister, Dolores Faye Haubrich.

Funeral services were officiated by Fr. John Fitzgerald at All Saint's Church in Twain Harte, CA on August 16, 2014. Interment was at St Patrick's Catholic Cemetery, Sonora, CA. 142566 081315

Surprise. The one woman in the crowded Republican field, Carly Fiorina, turns out to be articulate and well in-

formed, thoughtful and independent, actually the standout in the second-tier debate and really, if you' re judging, the bestdebater ofthe night.

Actually, many of the r eporters covering the debate did appear a little shocked at how well she "delivered her lines," which is not exactly how I'd describe it. She is the former CEO of a major Fortune 500 company. Donald Trump could not hold his own in a debate with her about the private sector economy — if she could get the chance, that is.

This is how the script should go: a little-known but articulate candidate turns in a strong performance, which gains her media attention as a potential contender, which then translates into financial support, which allows her to hire more organizers and build support in Iowa where finishing in the first tier would be considered respectable, given that Iowa, past the winner, is all about meeting or exceeding expectations.

And as the field narrows, the candidate gets more atten-

tion, and becomes, at the least, a contender for the second

spot. Getting from the very back to the very front is difficult, even ifeverything goes according to script,because the brutal primary schedule requires that you have money early enough to be organizing already in multiple states, and later requires even more money to pay for media, while momentum takes time to build.

So is the script working for Fiorina? Does the debate become aspringboard tomove her atleastintothe top 10?

I hope so, not because she is my personal choice for president, but because I want to see women achieve more power and influence in both parties, and all other factors being equal (which of course they never are), I' ll always vote for the woman.

When I don't recognize the names of judge candidates, I pick out the women. How great it would be to have serious female candidates for president in both parties. An absolute first.

But not necessarily in the cards. Fiorina had a good ride for about 24 hours until The Donald took back the headlines with his asinine comment suggesting that the reason anchor Megyn Kelly asked him tough questions was because she was menstruating. The joke, of course, is that the questions weren't lowballs or unfair in the least. She simply repeated back to him some of the offensive things he' d said in the past. At the very least, candidates are usually prepared to deal with their skeletons. But the Republican "frontrunner" (sorry, Republican friends, but that's what the polls in Iowa say) was not.

So in the ultimate cruel irony, the one female candidate, who was poised to ride a wave of media attention for at least a few days more, has been knocked out of the story by the almost unbelievably anachronistic sexism of a competitor with no business in the race.

Which is really the bottom line. There are lots of reasons candidates run for president other than winning. Harvard Professor Larry Lessig has announced that after a lifetime of activism for campaign finance reform, he is considering running for president based on small donations to bring the campaign finance issue to the forefront — something that is difficult for candidates who are literally raising billions of dollars to do. So good for him. Gene McCarthy, for those of us who can remember, never had a chance of winning the New Hampshire primary in 1968, but his betterthan-expected showing forced President Johnson out of the race.

But a candidate who doesn't have a chance to win should at least have some issue or cause that justifies distracting our attention and distorting the race. Ego should not be enough.

GUEST COLUMN

Trump a catharsis for portion of GOP The coarser and cruder Donald Trump becomes, and the more ill-informed on the issues he sounds, the more he coasts in the polls. Apparently, a few of his targetsmust be regarded asunsympathetically as their defamer.

Trump is rightly mocked for cynically spreading quid pro quo money around.

But he quickly counters that his critics — from Hillary Clinton to his Republican rivals — have all asked him for such cash or for favors.

Trump preps little. He has no real agenda. And he makes stuff up as he goes along. For such a New York brawler, he has thin skin, smearing his critics, often in creepy fashion. How can a former Democrat, once a pro-choice, pro-amnesty liberal and a supporter of single-payer health care, remain the godhead of the conservative base for weeks on end?

The answer is that Trump is a catharsisfor 15 percent to 20 percent of the

Republican electorate. They apparently like the broken china shop and appreciate the raging bull who runs amok in it. Politicians and the media are seen as corrupt and hypocritical, and the nihilistic Trump is a surrogate way of letting them take some heat for a change.

Some of Trump's companies may have declared bankruptcy. But if that is so bad, why isthe U.S. government running up $18 trillion in national debt? If Trump ran his businesses the way government manages the Social Security Trust Fund, would we criticize him for running a Ponzi scheme?

We have learned that the supposedly sacrosanct IRS is as conniving as any Third World junta. Is the coarse Donald Trump any more dishonest than the smooth former IRS official Lois Lerner?

Trump is uncouth and reckless in his language. But former Attorney General Eric Holder disparaged Americans as "cowards." Barack Obama all but called his Republican critics kindred souls to Iranian hardliners. Did Trump make fun of the Special Olympics the way the president once did when refer-

Olson, a bass player since he was 12, has played in several local bands including The Rose Avenue Sinners and, most recently, One Less Enemy.

Dead or dying trees on property in Tuolumne and Calaveras counties need to be removed as soon as possible to prevent spread of disease and/Dr infestation, and to reduce fire hazards, says Cal Fire Forester Adam Frese of the Tuolumne-Calaveras Unit.

Anyone with pine trees on their property should watch for the following: •Tree color fading • Crown fading from green to yellow to brown • Clear or yellow pitch streaming down the trunk of the tree • Pitch tubes coming out of the trunk, indicating infestation • Sawdust or frass: insect excrement Public Resources Code 4291 requires people to maintain 100 feet of defensible space around their homes year-round.

Healthy potlucks, exercise encouraged at work

Everyone knows that eating well and exercising is good for you, and a healthy office potluck is a fun and easy way to try new, healthy foods you might not be exposed to otherwise.

Additionally, desk or workstation exercise 10 minutes a day (or lunch-time walks) can help keep your metabolism going and the body systems moving.

The Tuolumne County Public Health Department last week held an office potluck where, instead of everyone bringing a

Eddy Warzee and Kristina Herrera, who work in Public Health's Tobacco Control program, headup the department's "fun committee," and they arranged for the office to have a salad bar potluck lunch last week, explained Dr. Liza Ortiz, Tuolumne County Public Health officer.

Questi onsandanswersaboutthe war wound 'moral injury'

Continued from Page Bl "She smiled at me," he told the others in the room,"and I smiled back. Then she tookherlastgasp ofair."

Moral injury Before the war, Sgt. Powell's very core was built on God and faith and saving lives, not doing anything that could end one. He lost his purpose when the girl died, and he found himself in a nondescriptroom on a San Diego naval base trying desperately to save his own crumbling existence.

Surroundinghim thatday were veter-

Some questi ons and answers about moral injury, and how it compares with and differs from PTSD:

a flashback. With moral injury, veterans engage in self-torment, punishing themselves with constant self-recrimination.

WHAT IS MORAL INJURY? Moral injury is when veterans feel extreme guilt and shame from something they did or witnessed in conflict that goes against their values, or may even be a crime. The term was introduced in the 1990s by a now-retired Department of Veterans Affairs psychiatrist, Dr. Jonathan Shay, who diagnosed the problem in Vietnam veterans he was treating. Shay has identified two kinds of moral injury: service members blame themselves for something that violated their own moral code, or someone of trust did something that went against a service member's beliefs.

HOW IS MORAL IN JURY TREATED? The treatment differs from that for posttraumatic stress. PTSD sufferers can find relief with prescription drugs and private counseling that encourages reliving the triggering incident to work through fear.

That's not the right approach for moral injury, the experts say. Treatment for moral injury focuses on acceptance and forgiveness. One aspect of it is "adaptive disclosure therapy" — which involves asking patients to reveal their triggering incident to other veterans also seeking to recover.

ans who had sufferers as he suffered: An Army staff sergeant who stood frozen in shock, unable to offer aid to a fellow soldier whose legs were severed in an explosion in Afghanistan. A Marine whose junior comrade wasfatally shot after he convinced him to switch posts in Iraq. A Navy man who beat an Iraqi citizen in anger.

Like Powell, they'd spent years torturing themselvesover acts that tortured their conscience."Souls in anguish" is how some experts describe this psychological scar of war now being identified as "moral injury."

Unlike post-traumatic stress disorder,

which is based on fear &om feeling one' s life threatened, moral injury produces

WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS? The symptomsand ensuing behaviors often mirror those of PTSD. Sufferers may experience suicidal thoughts, withdrawal, hypervigilance, agitation and nightmares.

Often they are demoralized and behave in a self-destructive way, such as binge drinking, doing drugs and destroying relationships.

HOW IS MORAL INJURY DIFFERENT FROM PTSD? Those who study moral injury, including Shay and military trauma expert and clinical psychologist Brett Litz, say that PTSD is fear-based, stemming from a life-threatening event, while moral injury is rooted in feelings of shame and guilt. With PTSD, loud noises or chaotic crowds may trigger

WHAT PROGRAMS TREAT MORAL INJURY? The Navy offers a two-month residential treatment program for active-duty service members whohave notfound success with treatment for PTSD. Called Overcoming Adversity and Stress Injury Support, or OASIS, patients stay at a Navy facility in San Diego, where they participate in group therapy, learn coping skills and may partake in yoga, meditation, volunteer work. The therapy includes writing down and sharing with others what triggered the trauma, writing a letter of apology or reconciliation and crafting a letter to a benevolent figure. Brite Divinity School in Fort Worth, Texas, runs the Soul Repair Center, which is researching methods to assist chaplains and other religious leaders in how to address moral injury.

Nosy sister can use gentle sibling guidance DEAR ANNIE: I have four siblings. One of my sisters thinks she has a right to invite herself to our homes, join us for dinner and attend other functions, whether we invite her or not. It's like she thinks we are joined at the hip.

For example, "Ginny" will call and ask, "Where are we going for dinner tonight?"I am tempted to reply,"I don'tknow where you'regoing,but I have my own plans." However, Ginny is overly sensitive and none of us wants to hurt her feelings.

Worse, Ginny is very nosy. She will come to my house (uninvited, of course) and read my mail. She also asks questions about things that are

are not obligated to respond.

Put your mail where she cannot get to it. Suggest that she look into organizations and activities that will interest her and provide a wider circle of friends is a good idea. We all love her dearly, and a more active social life. She but her poor manners are driving sounds like she needs guidance. us crazy. Any suggestions? — NO Please help her out.

Hemorrhoid treatment hinges on classification DEAR DIL ROACH: Do you know anything about injection sclerotherapy for hemorrhoids? Are there any other new treatments? — H.F. ANSWER: Hemorrhoids are a normal partofour anatomy, butthey cause problems such as bleeding and itching, and they can developblood clots.Hemorrhoids may be internal or external. External hemorrhoids rarely need more than conservative treatment, except when they develop a bloodclot,which can bevery painful.Large internal hemorrhoids can prolapse (that is, push through the anus).

Internal hemorrhoids are graded 1 through 4 based on degree of prolapse: grade 1 do not prolapse; grade 2 prolapse during a bowel movement but reduce (i.e., go back in) spontaneously; grade 3 can be reduced;and grade 4 cannot.Treatment of internal hemorrhoids depends on their classi6cation.

Grade 1 and external hemorrhoids usuallyaretreated conservatively with a highfiber diet. Psyllium (such as Metamucil) or methylcellulose (such as Citrucel) can be usedif a person's diet is inadequate in

TO YOUI'

Good Health Keith Roach, M.D. fiber, as many are.Additionalconservative treatments include creams and ointments that relieve symptoms, such as Anusol or Preparation H, and sitz baths, a chair-style bath in which the buttocks and hips are immersed in water. Hydrocortisone-based creams should not be used for longer than a week. Thrombosed external hemorrhoids might need immediate treatment to remove the blood clot.

Grade 1 and 2 hemorrhoids also can be treated with "minimally invasive" offtcebased treatments,such as sclerotherapy.

This is the injection of a medication that causesNsclerosing" (f'rom the Greek word for "stone"), a shrinking and fibrosis of the hemorrhoidal tissue. Other options include banding (placement of a rubber band

around the hemorrhoidal tissue), laser and cryotherapy, all of which cause the hemorrhoid to shrink. The choice is up to the patientand the surgeon or gastroenterologist performingthe procedure.

Some grade 3hemorrhoids can betreated with these minimally invasive techniques, but other grade 3 and grade 4 hemorrhoids will need definitive surgical therapy. There are several surgical options, including open and closed hemorrhoidectomy, stapled hemorrhoidopexy and lateral internal sphincterotomy.I seldom send patients to the surgeon for these procedures anymore, but a minority of people still need them if the oflic e-basedprocedures don'twork.

One newer technique is ligation of the hemorrhoidal artery. One study showed that this procedure resulted in less pain than open hemorrhoidectomy.

DEAR DR ROACH: When I was 64, a cyst was found in my bladder. When the cystwas removed,itwasfound tobe cancerous. My urologist wants me to continue to have an annual cystoscopy, which I do.

I'm now 76 and in good health.Do you feel the annual cystoscopy is still neces-

HORO SCOPE

sary? — C K ANSWER:Now that more people have had successful treatment of cancer, we are startingto learn about the risks they face in subsequent years. The risk of another canceris generally higher,butit's the exact form of cancer that determines how much risk there is, and consequently, how aggressive follow-up must be.

In thecase ofbladder cancer,Ihaveread some studies thatthe risk is quite sm allafter five years. However, the American Urologic Association has clear guidelines: Because of the increased risk for recurrence, it recommends annual cystoscopy indefinitely. Cystoscopy is a pretty safe procedure, so I think your urologist's recommendation is reasonable.

Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters,but will incorporate them in thecolumn whenever possible.

Today in history Today is Thursday, August 13, the 225th day of 2015. There are 140 days left in the year.

Today's Highlight in History: On August 13, 1961, East Germany sealed off the border between Berlin's eastern and western sectors; within days, the Communist authorities began building a wall that would stand for the next 28 years.

On this date: In 1846, the American flag was raised for the first time in Los Angeles.

In 1910, Florence Nightingale, the founder of modern nursing, died in London at age 90.

In 1934, the satirical comic strip "Li'I Abner," created by Al Capp, made its debut.

In 1946, author H.G. Wells, 79, died in London.

In 1960, the first two-way telephone conversation by satellite took place with the help of Echo 1. The Central African Republic became totally independent of French rule.

In 1979, Lou Brock of the St. Louis Cardinals became the 14th player in major league baseball history to reach the 3,000th career hit plateau as his team defeated the Chicago Cubs, 3-2.

In 1981, in a ceremony at his California ranch, President Ronald Reagan signed a historic package of tax and budget reductions.

In 1989, searchers in Ethiopia found the wreckage of a plane which had disappeared almost a week earlier while carrying Rep. Mickey Leland, D-Texas, and 14 other people — there were no survivors.

In 1995, Baseball Hall of Famer Mickey Mantle died at a Dallas hospital of rapidly spreading liver cancer; he was 63.

Corrie ten Boom, who wrote a book describ4 KQ 109 ing her family's success in hiding Dutch Jews East during World War II, said, "When a train goes y 8 7 4 2 463 through a tunnel and it gets dark, you don' t VQ J1085 throw away the ticket and jump off. You sit 0 109 7 5 2 still and trust the engineer." +4 Sometimes understanding the engineer of a South bidding convention takes some clear thinking. We are looking at New Minor Forcing.

After one of a minor - one of a major - one I 863 no-trump, two of the unbid minor by the +A J87 responder is artificial, promises at least gameinvitational values, and asks opener for more Dealer: South information.

Vulnerable: East-West In this deal, when South bids two hearts, South West N orth E a st he indicates a four-card suit and denies three 14 Pass 14 Pass spades.Then, when responder continues with three clubs, it is natural and game-forcing.

1NT Pa s s 2 1 Pass (With a weak hand and club support, North 2V Pass 34 Pass would have jumped to three clubs over one 34 Pass 4 N T Pas s no-trump — see yesterday's column.) North 54 Pass 74 All P a ss should realize that if South has only two spades, he must have four or five clubs.

South'sthree-spade bid shows a doubleton high honor. Then North uses Blackwood before signing off in seven clubs.

Note that in spades or no-trump, there are only 12 winners: five spades, two hearts, one diamond and four clubs. But in clubs, a fifth club trick is available.

South takes the first trick with dummy's diamond ace and draws two rounds of trumps, uncovering the 4-1 break. Then he plays three rounds of hearts, ruffing the last in the dummy, draws trumps, and claims 13 tricks, the same 12 as in spades or no-trump plus the heart ruff.

The Golden State Warriors will see an old friend on opening night and LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers in an NBA Finals rematch on Christmas, two of the highlight +<RRto+ games of their title defense.

The NBA released its schedule Wednesday, a more player-friendly model that addresses Commissioner Adam Silver's directive for additional player rest by slashing the times teams have to play four times in five nights to an average of one per team.

NBA senior vice president of operations Kiki VanDBWeghe called it the best schedule he had seen, adding that the league was "very, very mindful of player rest and recuperation, and the idea of putting the best product on the floor each and every night."

The season begins Oct. 27 with three games, including the Warriors hosting New Orleans, the team they eliminated in the first round before the Pelicans hired Alvin Gently, who was one of Steve Kerr's assistants last season.

Aoki returned to San Francisco's lineup Wednesday after getting hit in the head by a pitch five days earlier but left after four innings because of dizziness. He' ll be re-evaluated on Thursday and could be headed for the disabled list with a possible concussion after a 2-0 loss to the Houston Astros.

"We' ll know more tomorrow but he showed symptoms," Bochy said. aMy guess is we' ll have to be careful here."

San Francisco is already shorthanded. Centerfi elder Angel Pagan was placed on the disabled list earlier this week with patella tendinitis, and second baseman Joe Panik is also on the DL with lower back infiammation.

Losing Aoki for any length of time would be another blow to the Giants, who went into the day 2 V2 games out of first place in the NL West.

"There's nothing you can do except go outthere and keep playing,hopefully someone picks us up," Bochy said.

"It's going to come down to pitching.

"What is the direct evidence that implicates Mr. Brady?" Judge Richard M. Berman repeatedlyasked NFL lawyer Daniel L. Nash at the

first hearing in the civil case in Manhattan federal court as Brady and Commissioner Roger Goodell looked on.

Nash responded there was "considerable evidence Mr. Brady clearly knew about this," including records of textmessages and phone callsbetween the quarterback and one of two Patriots employees implicated in the scandal known as "Deflategate."

But he also said there was no "smoking gun" showing Brady had

direct knowledge that the balls were underinflated for the first half of the Patriots' 45-7 win over the Indianapolis Colts in the AFC championship game Jan. 18.

Brady and Goodell didn't speak during the hearing, except to introduce themselves to Berman. Brady, his head lowered, looked dour as lawyers spoke for about 1 hour, 20 minutes.

Immediately afterward, Brady smiled slightly as he signed sketches

for two court artists. Berman then

met individually with each side for more settlement discussions in private.

The talks continued more than four hours until about 5 p.m. Afterward, a smiling Brady left the couzthouse. Several people shouted "cheater, cheater!"

The Associated Press

EA Sports dropped Chicago Blackhawks star Patrick Kane from promoting and appearing on the cover of its NHL 16 video game because he is under police investigation.

The popular video game company announced its decision on its Twitter account Wednesday.

"In light of the ongoing investigation i n v olving Patrick Kane, he will no longer be a spokesperson for the launch of EA Sports NHL 16," the company said. "He will not appear on the EA Sports NHL 16 cover nor participate in other EA Sports NHL 16 promotional activities."

Kane was to appear alongside B l a ckhawks captain Jonathan Toews in what was supposed to be the first time two NHL players have been featured on the cover. In June, the two stars were key players in leading the Blackhawks to their third

Stanley Cup championship in six years.

Kane's lawyer, Paul Cambria,and agent,Pat Brisson, did not return messages seeking comment.

EA Sports' d ecision comes less than a week after Hamburg police announced Kane is under investigation for something that may have happened at the player'soffseason home outside Buffalo on Aug. 2.

Police Chief Gregory Wickett would only say that policeare gathering information and awaiting forensicresults.

Police are looking into something that happened between Kane and a woman in her 20s, a person familiar with the investigation said earlier this week

"I know we want to see Kap out there, but it's a fun preseason and having Blaine (Gabbert) in these games, it's going to be fun for him. Fll be really looking forward to him. Even though he's been around, I think he wants to show the strides that he's made," Chryst said.... Joe Looney, who has been used in multiple positions along the offensive line, has been getting most of his reps at center this camp. "It helps a lot being at one position," he said. 'You learn the plays and schemes better. I' ve moved along the line and it's about where the team necks me. Kap is always telling us 'tempo, tempo.'We want to get to the ballfast,see the defense and run our plays."

THE UN' DEMO CRAT

RAIDERS

Home teamsmake MLB history Tuesday Home sweep home.

When the Seattle Mariners beat Baltimore 6-5 in 10 innings Tuesday night, it marked the first time in baseball history all 15 home teams won on the same day.

Viewing every game as a 50-50 proposition independent of all others, STATS figuredthe odds ofa home sweep on a night with a full major league schedule was 1 in 32,768.

Now that's home cookin'l Research by the Elias Sports Bureau, baseball's official statistician, indicated that previously the best performance by home teams had been 12-0 on May 23, 1914. That included four games that day in the Federal League, then consideredone ofthreemajor leagues.

Checking only the American League and National League, STATS found four days when hosts went 11-0 — three of them in t h e

1800s. The most recent occasion was Sept. 16, 1989.

"Without saying, it' s more difficult on the road,"

said manager Bruce Bochy of the World Series champion Giants. 'There's got to be a slight advantage to playing at home and I think your good teams play well at home, they win at home."

Cleveland and Miami alsoneeded extra innings to come out on top in their own ballparks. Other winners were: Toronto, Tampa

Bay, Kansas City, Minnesota, St. Louis, Arizona, San Diego, San Francisco, the New York Mets, the Chicago Cubs, the Chicago White Sox and the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Four visiting teams got shut out: Atlanta at Tampa Bay; Colorado by the Mets; the Angels against the White Sox; and the Nationals at Dodger Stadium.

The last time home clubs went undefeated on a day with more than one game was an 8-0 record on Aug. 28, 2008 — although road squads were 7-0 on April, 2, 2013, according to STATS.

SeatUe's Iwakuma tossesno-hitter SEATTLE (AP) — Off the bat, Ksashi Iwakuma believed the slicing flyball was going to find its way to the outfield grass and end his dream of joining an elite pitching &aternity one out shy.

Then he saw Seattle teammate Austin Jackson sprinting with his glove extended in the air, ready to squeeze the final out and put Iwakuma's name next to Hideo Nomo as the only Japanese-born pitchers to throw a no-hitter.

Iwakuma became the first A m e rican L e ague p itcher i n n e a rly t h r ee

years to throw a no-hitter, silencing the Baltimore Orioles in the Mariners' 3-0 victory on Wednesday.

Talented but often injured since arriving Irom Japan in 2012, the 34-yearold native of Tokyo didn' t overpower the Orioles.

That's not his style.

Instead, Iwakuma used a biting splitter and precise control to throw the fourth individual no-hitter in franchise history and become theoldest pitcher since Randy Johnson in 2004 to throw a no-no.

Iwakuma's gem ended a streak of 11 straight individual no-hitters thrown

by National League pitchers, including three this season: Philadelphia's Cole Hamels — prior to his trade to Texas — Washington's Max Scherzer and San Francisco's Chris Heston.

The last A L p i tcher to keep zeros across the board was teammate Felix Hernandez, who tossed a perfectgame at Safeco Field on Aug. 15, 2012. And in an odd numerical coin-

cidence, Hernandez's perfect game against Tampa Bay came on 8/15/12, while Iwakuma's no-hitter was

on 8/12/15.

Goodell smiled as dozens of photo and video journalists did their work. Neither of them spoke and there was no immediate word on the status of talks.

Two weeks ago, the NFL asked Berman to declare t hat i t s p u n ishment o f Brady was properly carried out. The players' union countersued, asking him to nullify the suspension. The judge has signaled from the start that he wants the parties to

reach a swift settlement.

On Wednesday, Berman called it "ironic or not" that Brady's statistics were better in the second half of the AFC championship game, after the balls were re-inflated.

"You might say (Brady) got no b etter a dvantage from the u nder-inflation," the judge said.

At one point, the judge alsoseemed to try to defuse the controversy, saying: "This Deflategate. I'm not s ure where the 'gate' comes from."

When the union got its chance to argue, the judge asked attorney Jeffrey L. Kessler why one of the Patriots employees would deflate balls without Brady's knowledge. Kessler said the union

The judge also questioned why Brady destroyed his cellphone in the midst of the inquiry — a move that the league argues was further proof of his deception. Kessler claimed that the quarterback got rid of the phone on the advice of his agent to protect his privacy but had otherwise cooperated with the inquiry.

REGAN SMITH VS. TY DILLON:All the driver-on-driver action was in Saturday' s Xfinity Series at Watkins Glen, highlighted by Smith lunging at Dillon on pit

road after Dillon sent Smith spinning on a restart.

GODWIN KELLPS TAKE: Smith said, "There is zero chance that No. 3 car (Dillon) wins this championship. I'm going to make sure of it." It's all bluster. Smith's car owner (Dale Earnhardt Jr.) will calm him down.
