GUEST COLUMN

a an amen s ostrestrictions On Sept. 19, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's government succeeded in passing legislation revising pacifist interpretations of his nation's post-WW 2 constitution. The U.S.-imposed document placed limitations on Japanese military forces. Imperial Japan was the aggressor who started World War 2 in Asia. In essence, AUStln the la w

r e s tricted

Japanese forces to defending Japanese territory from immediateattack. No more. Japanese forces may now conduct operationsabroad,when approved by parliament. They can more easily conduct military operations with allies to defend common interests. They can aid allied forces even if Japanese territory does not suffer armed attack. These changes have immense strategic significance. That's intentional. Asia has changed. It's 2015, not 1945. This week, in New York for U.N. meetings, Abe told Bloomberg News that Japan and China need a stable and &iendly relationship. He added: "I think both countries should make efforts to that end." China andJapan are major trading partners.Abe noted that Japan is heavily invested in China, which means Japan bets on Beijing's economic success. Yes, Asia has changed. It continues to change. Chinese military power is expanding. That's no surprise. Zhou Enlai made a modern military one of China's Four Modernizations.

China, however, is using its new sword to wage a creeping war of territorial expansion. Creating islands with air bases in the South China Sea is the most blatant example of this imperial war. It is destabilizing East and Southeast Asia. Japan'schanging security posture and Abe'sbid for stable and fruitful relations with China are complementary policies. Desire for peace and thorough preparationfor war are closely related. Roman strategist Vegetius knew it. He gets credit for formulating the epigram that sums it: If you want peace, prepare for war.

Vegetius' maxim conveys a hard-earned truth based on two fact-backed trends: The perception of weakness invites aggression. The perception of military power backed by the will to use it deters aggression. Contrast Vegetius to the procrustean faithful who fervently believe their demonstrated refusal or inabilitytodefend with force— radically expressed as disarmament — produces peace. The faithful's virtuous words and weakness will translate into peace because. Because why? Well, here's one. Because potential opponents now have no reason to fear, they, too, shall

wage peace. Got that? Aggressors get it. Despite the faithful's zealous certitude, for millennia aggressors have preyed upon this mental disability, murdering hundreds of millions in the process. Hence Vegetius' sane advice. Many Japanese do favor the old restrictions. Sincere pacifi sts constitute a slice ofthe opposition.H owever, left-wing opponents with old-time ties to the Soviet Union had other goals. Moscow wanted a weak Japan, because defending it required U.S. military assets that could be used elsewhere. Japan's atrocious WW2 legacy explained pan-Asian opposition to reviving Japanese military forces. Broad oppositio n began to fade in thelate 1990s asChinese powergrew.Japan'srape ofKorea stillscars relations with another major trading partner, South Korea. However, North Korea routinely threatens Tokyo and Seoul with nuclear attack. Japan and South Korea know they giveNorth Korea a huge advantage ifthey deny themselves the ability to attack North Korean nuclear facilities. OfFensivecapabilitiescan deterPyongyang. China vehemently opposes Japan's altered security posture but ought to blame itself. China has repeatedly threatened to go to war with Japan over disputed islets. Southeast Asian nations bullied by China's South China Sea gambit (Vietnam and the Philippines, for example) are seeking powerful allies to counter Beijing's threats. The U.S. is their preferred ally, but they know the naval forces of a democratic Japan operating in conjunction with the U.S. Navy gives island-building Chinese militarists additional pause. Yes.

Drug price gouging a product of politics If Hollywood had created Martin Shkreli as the monster from Wall Street, we would have accused it of unfair characterization. But Shkreli — a 32-yearold hedge fund director in T-shirts, dabbler in the punk rock music world — has saved Tinseltown the trouble. Shkreli has also done the American people a service by showing in high def how the pharmaceutical industry gouges us. The pharmaceutical industry is angry with him for the same reason.

The killer was identified as 26-yearold Chris Harper Mercer, according to a government official who was not authorized to speak publicly and provided the name on condition of anonymity. Authorities shed no light on his motive and said they were investigating.

WEATHER Continued from Page Al As for the drought, "It'stoo small of an amount to have an effect," said Idamif Del Valle, spokeswoman of the National Weather Service. "We are still missing over a year's worth, and it takes a lot to recover from that. But it does help with fires, just not the drought." "Regardless, a fairly good shot for another round ofprecipitation across most of the area from late Saturday through at least the end of the weekend," stated a National Weather Service report. The rainfall turned to snow in the high country, forcing Caltrans to close Highway 108 Thursday night. Highways 120 and 4 remained open. The National Weather Service forecasts that todaywillreach a high of78 degrees and a low of 56 degrees with a northeast wind from 6 to 8 mph. Saturday willreach 75 degrees, and the night will bring a 20 percent chance of rain after 11 p.m. with partly cloudy skies and a low temperatureof51 degrees. Sunday shows a 20 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms while being partly sunny with a high of 66 degrees. Sunday night will be mostly cloudy with a chance of showers and a low near 53. The beginning of the work week will be mostly sunny with a high near 69 degrees and a chance of showers.

FOWLER Continued from Page Al Haddix said she reviewed the autopsy done by Dr. Robert Lawrence, a pathologist. The report was "pretty brief," she said, and the fatal injuries were not described in much detail. During Haddix's testimony, multiple photographs were displayed of Leila's wounds. In one photograph, Leila was shown lying on her back, her eyes closed, with multiple medical pads placed on her at Mark Twain Medical Center in San Andreas. Stab wounds covered her body. Haddix said she was given more than 50 photographs. Some did not have clear scales, she said, which would have been useful for measurement purposes. Haddix also reviewed other items, including a kitchen knife seized from the home that had Leila's blood underneath the handle. Haddix believes Leila was on her stomach due to the blood found near her closet that

seeped underneath the carpet where she was found on her back. "In some fashion she was rolled over — whether it was on

her accord or by someone else," Haddix said, due to the majority of stab wounds on Leila's chest area.

Haddix added that, in a murder, blood would appear on an assailant who stabbed a victim more so than any other method. "Stabbing is a pretty intim ate process, " she said."It involves being in close proximity." Dana Pfeil, Calaveras County deputy district attorney, asked whether there were many ways to do pathology work. Haddix said not all pathologists do things the same way. Kenton S. Wong, senior forensic scientist of Forensic Analytical Sciences Inc., also said he believed at one point Leila was lying on her stomach. "Somehow she was turned over," he said. Bradley Swanson, assistant lab director of the California State Department of Justice, testified for the prosecution

on Sept. 21 that the attack appeared to have begun on the top bunk of Leila's room.

Weatherby has seen every Calaveras touchdown for nearly two decades, and none was more important to the school, the community, and to those fighting for their dream than the one Chaboya scored. "It was amazing,"Weatherby said. "That' s gottabe thebestone sofar." Following the score (which technically didn't count in the record book) Chaboya's teammates hoisted him up on their shoulders and carried him off the field like a Super Bowl winning coach. "It was emotional for all of us to see Kyle get that dream of playing football," Byrd said. "It was great to see the smile on his face. It just shows how much sports could do for someone. Bret Harte really showed a lotofclassletting usdothatforhim ." Many people in the stands cried. The only smile that matched Chaboya's was his mother' s. "We are so thankful to live in the community that we do," she said. "A community that allows him to pursue his dreams." Calaveras went on to win the game, and for Chaboya, when his head hit the pillow that evening, he knew that nothing that he could dream would be better than what he had experienced under the Friday night lights.

"At some point she would either have to be moved from that location, or propelled off," Swanson said, due to the lack of blood found in between the bed and closet. "Most likely she was carried in some fashion," Wong said Thursday. "There was no trail of blood." Wong added that Leila "definitely" would have been bleeding at that time due to the multiple stab wounds on the front of her body. Sgt. Greg Stark of the Calaveras County Sheriffs Department testified Thursday he investigated the vacant house near Leila's house around the time of the killing to make sure no one was in the home. "It did not look like somebody was living there," he said, adding that no one was located in the house. "It did not appear that anybody had been there for some time." On Wednesday, a 17-year-old girl testified she and a &iend explored the vacant house a week to a week and a half prior to Leila's murder. They went in through an unlocked door connected to the garage and saw beer cans on

the floor in one of the bedrooms and a television that was playing static. In the kitchen, paper towels and an opened box of saltine crackers were on the counter, she said. While in the kitchen, the girl said she heard an adult male's voicesay,"Getout." The girls ran to her house on Hartvickson Lane, one street

overfrom Leila's. Stark said he did not remember seeingany items described by the 17-year-old. The cr im e

He is not being tried as an adult, but his trial is being held in open court due to a statute that allows juvenile murder trials to be public.

time, t o u rism is credited with helping to sustain the economy of the Highway 120 corridor. It's alsothecounty'sNo .1industry. "If it hadn't been designated a park, we wouldn' t have the tourism that we have in Tuolumne County or the120 corridorespecially,"Gray said. An average of nearly 4 million people visit the park on an annual basis. According to the National Park Service, visitor spending in gateway communities within 60 miles of the park generated $535 million in 2014. One sign of the ways that the area continues to benefit is the development of the Rush Creek Lodge off Highway 120, a sister property to the Evergreen Lodge outside of Groveland. Scheduled to open in spring 2016, the 143-room lodgewillprovide about 100 jobs.Evergreen Lodge assistant general manager Nick Simon said the plan is to hire mostly local people. Park tourists have also helped sustain long-running businesses in the corridor following the decline of mining and logging. The Iron Door Saloon in Groveland established in 1852 — the longest continuously operating bar in the state— receives about 75 percent ofits yearly revenue mostly from Yosemite visitors between Memorial Day and Labor Day, according to current owners Chris and Corinna Loh. eWe wouldn't be able to survive without the tourism and the park," said Chris Loh. "Realistically, it' s our bread and butter." Loh said it's also fun to meet the people from all over the world who come into the bar and restaurant during the tourism season. Richardand Eisa Lau, of Hong Kong, attended Thursday's event in Yosemite Valley after arriving at the park Wednesday. The couple said they had traveled around California in the past but never made it to Yosemite, though they always wanted to visit. The idea of protecting special places like Yosemite is one that should be embraced around the world, Richard Lau said. "Whether you' re American, British, Chinese, Japanese ... We should all be doing this," he said. A 2009 documentary by filmmaker Ken Burns hailed the U.S. national park system as "America' s best idea." It now consists of 59 national parks that generates nearly $30 billion annually. The event also focused on educating youth about the significance of national parks and preserving public lands. Bill Harrer, of Rocklin, has been staying in the park for the past week with three generations of his family, including his wife, children and grandchildren. He said the event made him think about protecting public lands for the enjoyment of future generations. "This park is iconic," he said. "To celebrate the anniversary and what we' ve been doing to save it for our kids and grandkids is very important."

Organizations that have taken part include the Jamestown Promotion Club, Sonora Lions and Rotary clubs, County ofTuolumne, Sonora Area Foundation, California State Railroad Museum, Railtown and various community volunteers.

Promotion Club member and committee Chairman Jim O' Neil, of Jamestown, said the funding wasn' t immediately available, which allowed the committee time to develop what they wanted to do. 'This whole project is economic development," O' Neil said. eWe always believed that Railtown and Jamestown needed to be tied at the hip, and we needed afashionable way to do that." Other Jamestown revitalization projectseither completed or in progress include a kiosk and renovation of the gazebo at Rocca Park and a mural.

BRIEFING

Hudson cherishes final moments SAN FRANCISCO(AP) — Tim Hudson left the pitching mound for likely the last time to a roaring ovation and tipped his cap to every section of the stadium as his Giants teammates waited in front of the dugout in a hug line. Hudson wanted one final start in front of the home fans at AT8tT Park, even if it would be short and sweet. Manager Bruce Bochy obliged him, all right. "He's earned that," the skipper said. Hudson allowed three runs and three hits in 2 1/3 innings in the final start of his 17-year major league career, taking the loss in a 3-2 defeat to the division champion Los Angeles Dodgers on Thursday. The 40-year-old righthander (8-9) said his farewell last weekend across the bay in Oakland where his career began in 1999, pitching opposite former Giants lefty Barry Zito. Hudson is the majors' active wins leader for a few more days with 222 victories. He won his first World Series ring last season and winds up having thrown 46,631 pitches against 13,005 batters. "I was surprised how good I was able to hold it together there," Hudson said. "The last couple weeks have been a little bit of an emotional rollercoaster for me. I' ve had so much fun over the last 17 years and today was a really special day for me, the way the fans responded, the way my teammatesresponded. I didn't quite know what to expect but I'm very grateful for all of it." Bochy expected Hudson's outing to be short considering he has been bothered by a tender left hip, though that wasn' t an issue Thursday. Hudson will be honored during the weekend along with left-handed reliever Jeremy Affeldt, who announced his retire mentThursday and entered to relieve Hudson. After so many playoff failures, Hudson finally won his first World Series ring last fall. "I never would have dreamed things would have unfolded how I hoped they would. That never happens, especially in this game," Hudsonsaid."Itseemed very magical."

BRIEFS Moore throws Cincinnati past Miami CINCINNATI (AP)

Two quick touchdowns settled Hayden Moore's nerves.

The redshirt &eshman threw

two

tou c hdown

passes and ran for another score in his starting debut, and Cincinnati's struggling defense held on for a 34-23 victory over Miami on Thursday night to end the Hurricanes' streak of 10 straight wins over the Bearcats. Moore followed up the best passing game in Cincinnati history with a solid performance. The Bearcats (3-2) surged ahead 14-3 and overcame ascoreless third quarter behind Moore, who was 22 of 33 for 279 yards with an interception. Good enough to end Cincinnati's streak of two

straight last-minute losses and createa competition for the starting job when Gunner Kiel is healthy. Tuberville said Moore will get a chance to keep the job. Moore filled in with Kiel sidelined by a neck injury suffered during a 53-46 loss at Memphis a week earlier .Mo ore took over in that game and threw for

a school-record 557 yards with four touchdowns and two interceptions in only three quarters.

Miami (3-1) was coming off a 36-33 win over Nebraska that featured five field goals by Michael Badgley. He made three more Thursday but missed from 51 and 53 yards as the Hurricanes repeatedly failed to reach the end zone.

Morris sends US to win over Canadain Olympic qualifier KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) — Jordan Morris proved again Thursday night why so many pro teams are eagerto sign him. The 20-year-old Stanford star scored a pair of goals, the second off a steal and feed from Wil Trapp, to give the United States a 3-1 victory over Canada in the opener of Olympic qualifying. Morris alsoscored in the first minute off Jerome Kiesewetter's cross, and

Luis Gil tacked on a penalty kick for the U.S. in extra time to put the game away. Canada got its lone goal

from Michael Petr as so after a corner kick in the 80th minute. It was asolid start for the Americans, who stumbled against the Canadians four years ago and ultim ately failedto survivethe group stage of qualifying for the London Games. It was the second time in the past three Olympic cycles that the U.S. failed to advallce.

Canada has not participated in the Summer Games since 1984. The U.S. plays its second game in Group A on Saturday night against Cuba, which managed a 1-1 draw with Panama earlier in the day. The final group matches will be played next week in Colorado, with the top two teams from each group advancing to the semifinals Oct. 10 in Utah.

and ultimately the deciding fifth set 15-8. "It'sbeen a really good week," said Calaveras head coach Pamela DiBasilio. 'We are reall y strong defensively and our serve receive is probably the strongest part of our game. But we just have to

figureout how to go around other hitters. We are not super heavy hitters. Summerville played really hard tonight." Summerville started strong in the first set, and built a 12-8 lead with the help of senior Sarah Boyer. Boyer was outstanding early in the match, and every time she touched the ball, something good happened for the Bears. Boyer finishe the night with nine kills and 21 digs. "Sarah is one of our captains who is a fighter and she wants to win," said Summerville head coach Jennifer Osterhout. "We did a lot of work in practice yesterday figuring out her hit. We tweaked it a little bit, just enough to make her a force at the net. If we can continue with that, she's going to help us out a lot." Summerville picked up the first set win with key blocks &om Julian Craddock, Janae Roberson and Claire Caldera. Calaveras began the second set on fire, building a 7-2 lead. Summerville dug into the 'Skins lead, but Katie Church pushed the Bears serge back

with a powerful kill, bringing the score to 15-7. Summerville had no answer to the Calaveras attack, and the 'Skins took the s~nd set. "We just wanted to eliminate our errors and serve a little smarter," DiBasilio said of the second set adjustments. ''We had to pick where we were serving a little bit better and strategize where to hit the ball."

Calaveras (7-3, 3-1 MLL) d ominated the fi na l s e t , thanks in large part to an early 5-0 run. 'This loss is easier to bounce back from because it wasn't a huge sweep," Osterhout said. "It was good to see them fight and we saw the things that we need to continue doing and some things that we need to work on. This is an easier loss to come back &om. It's still hard and kills us a little bit, but it's definitely an easier loss to deal with." 'This is a big win, a really big win," DiBasilio said. "I don't wanna lose any. We already lost to Sonora, so no

in the second set," Osterhout said. "We came off of the momentum of the first set and just were not performing. We were not communicating and it took a lot to get us out of the hole and start talking and fighting for it." Summerville bounced back and in the third set matched the 'Skins blow for blow. Down 19-16, Danika Lillie made a diving save which set up a point for the Bears. Summerville tied the game at 20 with a kill from Roberson. But Calaveras went on a 5-1 run to take set three. Laney Evans led the charge for the 'Skins. "Laney played really well tonight," DiBasilio said. "She' s a super smart hitter and a smart player. She just has to find the openings and once she does,shestartsscoringforus." Once again, Summerville found itself down early in the fourth set, but behind the serves of sophomore Grace Fulkerson, and stellar play &om Craddock, the Bears went on a 7-0 run.

It was competitive the whole time," Gookin said about playing against Calaveras. "It brought out the best in us and it probably brought out the best in them. We really learned a lot."

"It got physical, but that' s football," Faughnan said about when the Redskins and Wildcats went head-to-head. "It seemed like it was a little chippy at times and that' s something we have to look further down the line because that's something we don' t want to happen," Craig said about the budding rivalry between the two schools.

The 'Skins and 'Cats were on the field for the first time since October, and on the fi nalday of the camp, tempers began to flair.

Argonaut found a chink in the Sonora armor last week, exploit ing the 'Cats secondary for big plays. Passing the ball has not been a problem for the Redskins. Byrd has thrown for 740 yards and nine scores. Last week, tight end Shane Torre erupted in the passing game hauling in over 160-yards and one touchdown.

"We' ve definitely addressed some of our concerns from Friday night, but I'm hoping, well we rushed for 340 yards, so we kinda moved the ball, but we made a ton of mistakes," Craig said. "We' ve gotta eliminate mistakes." The Wildcats come into tonight's matchup with a stout run defense, but have had problems thelast couple of weeks with pass defense. Argonaut, who rushed for just 17 yards, went to the air almost exclusively in the second half and scored four touchdowns on aerial strikes. "We' ve struggled with our pass defense in the back," Craig said. "It's been a little lackluster and thatll be a challenge because they throw the ball well and have a couple of guys who catch real well. They run fly sweep which is very deceiving so if we' re not disciplined, which we had a tendency not to be against Argonaut, so if we' re disciplined and we can fix our pass defense, we should be OK" "I think they' re gonna put the ball in the air," Faughnan said.

"They' re whittling down their plans and continuing to add new stuff'to the mix that they may have worked on in training camp." Rodgers, 31, might be play-

ing at the highest level of his 11-year career. He's been without two of his three best receiving threats for chunks of the season, including star receiver Jordy Nelson, who tore his anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee in a

preseason game against the Steelers. One of Nelson's understudies, Davante Adams, has been in and out of the lineup with a left ankle injury. Those injuries led to Green Bay bringing back veteran receiver James Jones, 31, who spent 2014 with the Oakland Raiders. Jones has four touchdown catches and 219 yards

"I wish it could be him and I wrestling on the 50 (yard line)," Del Rio said, tongue in cheek. "But that's not going to come down. I think Foxy might still take me, he's a pretty tough guy." Del Rio has a long history with Fox, having served as his defensivecoordinator in Carolina in the early 2000s and againin Denver &om 2012 to 2014. That included a 3-1 stint as interim coach in 2013 when Fox had heart surgery.

Now, here they are, ready to m eet as the Raiders (2-1)take on the winless Bears (0-3). 'You want to beat the guys you know real bad," Del Rio said. 'That's just how it is." Fox praised Del Rio and said he was glad to see him get another opportunity as a head coach after a nine-year run in Jacksonville. ''When I' ve looked on, Jack and his staff'have done an outstanding job, really, in all three phases," he said.

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

You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien.If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company,either ofwhich may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 800-280-2832 for information regarding the trustee's sale or visit this Internet Web site htt://www. vali loan.corn, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-14-652750-JP . Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder's sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. If the sale is set aside for any reason, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the deposit paid. The Purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Mortgagor, the Mortgagee, or the Mortgagee's Attorney. If you have previously been discharged through bankruptcy, you may have been released ofpersonal liability for this loan in which case this letter is intended to exercise the note holders right's against the real property only. As required by law, you are hereby notified that a negative credit report reflecting on your credit record may be submitted to a credit report agency if you fail to fulfill the terms of your credit obligations. QUALITY MAY BE CONSIDERED A DEBT COLLECTOR ATTEMPTING TO COLLECT A DEBT AND ANY INFORMATION OBTAINED WILL BE USED FOR THAT PURPOSE.

sidering the small size of the possible lesion. It'snot possible to be 100 percent sure, but I think that by far the more likely possibility is that the reading of the original CT scan — probably not the kinddesigned for fi nding pancreatic masses — was wrong.

The second possibility is that you do havea pancreati c mass and allthe othertestswerefalse-negatives.Thisis unlikely: MRCP (magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography) is a pretty goodtest,able to pick up about84 percent of masses that turned out to be pancreatic cancers. Ultrasound also is sensitive, picking up 90 percent of such lesions. I think it's unlikely that these both were repeatedly wrong, even con-

think this is acceptable. I sleep five to six hours with this aid and function normally in the morning. Recently I was told that this drug has a cumulative effect on the body. Would you verify this? Over-the-counter sleep aids have no eff ect,and thisdrug seems tobethe only way I can sleep.— D.M. ANSWER: Zolpidem and its cousins, eszopiclone (Lunesta) and zaleplon (Sonata),work for a relatively short time in the body before they are metabolized, so they do not build up in the body. They are mostly gone in the morning, and grogginess is not a problem formost people.However,people often develop a dependence on these medications; it becomes tmtcult to sleep

PUBLIC NOTICE

Conflict ing results are frustrating forpatients DEAR DR. ROACH: In August 2014,my urologistordered aCT scan to confirma possiblerecurrence ofkidney stones. The stone results were negative; however, the printed scan report described findings of a small, low-density lesion in the pancreas measuring 4.3 mm in the proximal tail. In the past 11 months, my gastroenterologis thas ordered two ultraaounds and two MRCPs. All test results were negative. He did not order another CT scanbecause oftheradiation exposure. Upon my suggestion, he recently had two radiologists review a CD of the CT scan, and neither could find any indication of a pancreatic lesion. What's going on? — GM ANSWER: It is very frustrating for patients to be presented with conflicting results, but it is far more common than you might realize. There are two possibilities here. The first is that you do not have a pancreatic mass. In that case, the initial review of the CT scan must have been wrong. This is called a false-positive, because the scan had a positive 6nding, a 4.3mm lesion, and false if it turns out not

Daughter hesitant to help spendthrift parents DEAR ANME: My husband and I are in our late 50s and have been marriedfor26 years.Ihave had the privilege of not needing to hold an outside job since I married, allowing me to be a stay-at-home mom and raise our kids, who are now grown and out of the house. My husband and I have always been careful with our money, eating out perhaps once a month. We are easily entertained at home. His parents, who have now passed on, lived like paupers. However, upon their passing, they were able to distribute a lot of their wealth to their two sons and five grandkids. The

Today in history Today is Friday, October 2, the 275th day of 2015. There are 90 days left in the year. Today's Highlight in History: On October 2, 1985, actor Rock Hudson, 59, died at his home in Beverly Hills, California, after battling AIDS. On this date: In 1890, comedian Groucho Marx was born Julius Marx in New York. In 1919, President Woodrow Wilson suffered a serious stroke at the White House that left him paralyzed on his left side. In 1939, the Benny Goodman Sextet (which included Lionel Hampton) made their first recording, "Flying Home," for Columbia. In 1944, German troops crushed the two-month-old Warsaw Uprising, during which a quarter of a million people had been killed. In 1955, the suspense anthology "Alfred Hitchcock Presents" premiered on CBS-TV. In 1967, Thurgood Marshall was sworn as an associate justice of the U.S. Supreme Court as the court opened its new term. In 1975, President Gerald R. Ford formally welcomed Japan's Emperor Hirohito to the United States during a ceremony on the South Lawn of the White House. In 1990, the Senate voted 90-9 to confirm the nomination of Judge David H. Souter to the Supreme Court. In 2002, the Washington D.C.-area sniper attacks began, setting off a frantic manhunt lasting three weeks. (John Allen Muhammad and Lee Boyd Malvo were finally arrested for 10 killings and three woundings; Muhammad was executed in2009; Malvo was sentenced to life in pnson.)

West Dealer: South might have made a takeout double (better Vulnerable: East-West than a one-spade overcall, despite that suit's S outh W e s t No r t h Ea s t strength). North used the Jacoby Forcing 1% Pass 2NT Pass Raise: at least four-card heart support and 3I Pass 3V Pass game-forcing values. South's three-diamond rebid showed a singleton (or void) in that 4V Pass P a s s Pa s s suit and any point range. (You could keep it simple, sensible, with natural rebids. Here, Opening lead:4 A South would rebid four hearts to indicate a minimum.) Some pairs lead the queen from ace-kingqueen, asking partner to give count. Then, an ace-lead is from only the ace-king. It is easy for declarer to cash his heart ace at trick five — and then grumble about bad luck when West discards. However, a resourceful South would cross to dummy with a club and lead the heart jack. Maybe East will be tempted to cover; or he might take ages thinking about it. Either way, declarer makes his contract despite the 3-0 trump split. Finally, if East plays low smoothly, South wins with his ace and, against most opponents, will find the trumps breaking 2-1.
