Marijuana growers in the

Lake Don Pedro area have created problems forSally Miller and other residents of therural subdivision that straddles the Tuolumne and Mariposa County lines. Miller lives on the Tuolumne County side less than a mile from an outdoor grow that produced about 100 marijuana plants this year, she told the Tuolumne County Board of Supervisors Tuesday. She's identified four other commercial growing operations in the area that she estimates yielded a total of 450 plants. Since the grows began cropping up in 2013, Miller said she can occasionally hear gunfire that she suspects are warning shots intended to intimidate local residents. "I'm fearful when I sit on my deck," she said in an interview aRer the meeting, adding that she also has concerns about the impact of marijuana cultivation on the

Pu lic utility re orm veto

(~ g gU)qyioa...Wko

sen s wrong message

yg~g ggkMA,

There's something crazy when the most powerful agency in California government spends an entire year mired in scandal caused in large part by inadequate controlsover the activities of its key people — and not a single reform emerges. T hat's the e n d ~ ~ , T h OmaS result of Gov. Jerry Brown's veto of a packageofbills that handily passed the Legislature this fall aiming to fix aspects of the state Public Utilities Commission, even if those bills themselves had some flaws. The net upshot is that Brown has yet to utter a negativeword about the overtly crooked activitiesofformer PUC President Michael Peevey and others at the commission, even complimenting Peevey on "getting things done" at the time he departed the commission in disgrace. The PUC is the most powerful of state agencies because it controls what consumers pay for electricity and natural gas provided by private companies like Pacific Gas & Electric, Southern California Edison, Southern California Gas and San Diego Gas & Electric. The agency also makes some key decision a6ecting water and telephones. Unlike all other state commissioners, PUC members serve six-year terms and cannot be fired even by the governor who appoints them. No one would seriously claim the bills Brown vetoed were perfect. For example, they did not include the most important reform that should have emerged from the scandals: making PUC decisions reviewable in Superior Court, and not only in appeals courts or the state Supreme Court, as they are today. But some changes in these bills could have been valuable, including creation of an independent inspector general assigned to make sure commission actions and processes are fair and legal. There is now virtually no oversight at all. So-called "ex-parte communications" — telephone calls, email s and other contacts between commissioners and sta6' and executives of the utility companies they regulate would have had to be reported on the PUC's website. The problem with this was that there would

' EhaS

have been no way to make sure all private contacts were

reported. Kevin Liao, a top aide to Democratic Assemblyman Anthony Rendonof Lakewood in Los Angeles County, author of most of the package and soon to assume the powerful office of Assembly speaker, reported that the possibility of suing the PUC over its decisions in Superior Court was removed from Rendon's reforms in the Assembly Appropriations Committee despite his protests. The weakened reform package nevertheless was too strong for Brown, who said in veto messages that "I support the intent of these bills..." Just not enough to prevent repetitions of the extralegal contacts between PUC members and utility executives which resulted in favored treatment for PG&E in its attempt to fight off punishment for the 2010 San Bruno gas pipeline explosion that killed eight persons. Emails show similar contacts between Peevey and Edison executives produced the outline of a settlement that now stands to cost consumers$3.3 billion, or about three-fourths what it will to retire the San Onofie Nuclear Generating Station, which failed because of decisions made by other Edison executives whose own emails show they knew those decisions would ruin the plant. The amounts involved in those cases were similar to

the billions of consumer dollars routinely dunned by the PUC. Example: One current PG&E proposal before the PUC calls for a $2.7 billion rate hike over three years. Rendon said his aim was to create more transparency in the PUC's business. But Brown has seen to it that won't happen for at least a year, if then. He even killed provisions forcing commissioners to write their decisions in "understandable" language. Clearly, the culture of the PUC needs serious change, but even the few changes in the vetoed bills were too much for Brown. The fact is that Peevey, a former Southern California Edison president, had a conflict of interest &om the moment ex-Gov. Gray Davis first appointed him in 2002. Brown might also have one: His sister, former California state Treasurer Kathleen Brown, serves on the board of Sempra Energy, owner of both Southern California Gas and San Diego Gas & Electric. All of which means the ground rules of the dance long conducted by the PUC and the large private utility companies it regulates still have not changed even a little because of the current scandal.

YOUR VIEWS A better sentence alternative To the Editor: It wa s a nnounced that Judge Segerstrom could sentence Spencer Morse to one year in the county jail for the offense of willfully killing a cat.

Try condensing that into a sound bite or a political slogan. How about: Time to get real. Individually, these trends are fascinating; collectively, they' re slightly terrifying.

James "Jim" Lester Hoback Jan. 3, 1939 —Oct. 25, 2015 James "Jim" Lester Hoback was born on January 3, 1939 in Los Angeles and passed away on October 25, 2015 at Sonora Regional Medical Center. Jim was 76 years old. James had spent the last 33 years living in Sonora. He graduated from Chiliquin High in C h iliquin, Oregon in 1956, and received his AA Degree from American River College in Placerville in 1976. Jim r /// ' was certified to teach "Public Safety Service" at the Junior College level. i(>l~ ]im built and operated the original Sonora Short Line Railway at Sonka's Apple Ranch in Tuolumne that carried thousands of passengers over the 13 years that the train was in operation.

NBC sets second Red Nose Day LOS ANGELES — NBC has decided red is its color: The network is bringing its Red Nose Day fundraiser back for a second year. NBC said Tuesday the twohour program featuring stars, comedy and music will air next spring. Donations will go to groups helping children living in poverty in the United States and elsewhere in the world. The recipients will be announced later. Last year's Red Nose Day campaign raised more than $23 million, the network said, with the money distributed to a dozen charities. It was the first U.S. version of Britai n's three-decade old "Red Nose Day" event that' s raised more than $1 billion. NBC said its Red Nose Day sequel will air May 26.

the proliferation of short-

Another measure that' s split city leaders is Proposition I. It would place an 1 8-month m oratorium o n construction of market-rate

Two unions battle for $15 hourly minimum wage in CA SACKQKNTO (AP) — The state's largest union said Tuesday that it has filed a second ballot initiative seeking to boost California's minimum wage to $15 an hour, setting up a ballot rivalry between two factions of the powerful Service Employees International Union. SEIU's state council announced an initiative Tuesday that would raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour by 2020 and require at leastsix paid sick days a year,double the number now offered to low-wage workers. Meanwhile, SEIU's United Healthcare Workers West already has been gathering signatures for a separate measure that would raise the minimum wage by$1 an hour until it hits $15 an hour in 2021. The group, which is backed by Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom, said it has already collected the 366,000 signatures needed to qualify it. SEIU hopes both measures can eventually merge to avoid voter confusion and present a unified campaign, said Kristin Lynch, a

spokeswoman for SEIU Local 1021, a backer ofthenewest proposal. "We are doing our own thing because we think this initiative is significantly different to make that distinction," she said, adding that the efFort is led by the fast food workers who began the eflort to raise wages for lowpaid workers nationally. Unlike the already-filed measure, she said SEIU's state council is prepared to spend $20 million to $30 million for a robust statewide calllp sigil.

The proposals are the latest in a nationwide effort by unions and other groups to raise the wage. The cities of Los Angeles, Seattle, San Francisco, Oakland and Berkeley have approved phased-in increases to eventually take their minimum wage to $15 an hour. California's current $9 hourly wage is set to increase to $10 next year. A proposal by Sen. Mark Leno, D-San Francisco, failed to advance in the Legislature this year.

Federalcourts have already put the rules on hold as they consider a number of lawsuits that were filed immediately after the EPA and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers issued the regulations in May. The rules clarify which smaller waterways fall under federal protection after two Supreme Court rulings left the reach of the Clean Water Act uncertain. Those decisions in 2001 and 2006 left 60 percent of the nation's streams and millions of acres of wetlands without clear federal protection, according to the EPA, causing confusion for landowners and government officials. The EPA says the new rules would forcea permitting processonly ifabusiness or landowner took steps that would polluteordestroy the affected waters.

Global warming not a worry to public WASHINGTON — Americans are hot but not too botheredby globalwarming. Most Americans know the climate is changing, but they say they are just not that worried about it,according to a new poll by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research. And that is keeping the American public from demanding and getting the changes that are necessaryto prevent global warming &om reaching a crisis,according to climate and social scientists. As top-level international negotiations to try to limit greenhouse gas emissions start later this month in Paris, the AP-NORC poll taken in mid-October shows about two out of three Americans accept

global warming and the vast majority of those say human activi ties are at least part of the cause.

However, fewer than one in four Americans are extremelyorvery worried about it,according the pollof 1,058 people. About one out of three Americans are moderately worried and the highest percentageof those polled — 38 percent — were not too worried or not at all worried.

Throughout the discussion, District 3 Supervisor Evan Royce attempted to advocate for regulations that would separate potentially violent criminals from law-abiding citizens growing m edical marijuana for legitimate purposes. Royce said some of the recent problems could be attributed to th e i ndustry's "quasi-black market" status due to the absence of proper regulation. "I think the theR and publicsafety risks thatyou hear aboutare a resultofthe lack of regulation," he said.

That' sthedirection it's going." As a result of Tuesday's discussion, the board will be asked to make several decisions related to medical marijuana in the coming months. The County Counsel's Office will prepare a zoning ordinance expressly banning cultivation and distribution of medical marijuana, which will first need to be reviewed by the Tuolumne County Planning Commission before a vote by the board. Violations of such zoning ordinances could be considered a misdemeanor, said County Counsel Sarah Carrillo. Also, the board will soon be asked to decide whether to allow mobile deliveries of medical marijuana from outside dispensaries toregistered patients in the county. District 1 Supervisor Sherri Brennan said she believed there should be some way to allow mobile deliveries, so that patients who benefit from medical marijuana would still have access. A deadline in the recent legislation stipulates that mobile deliveries would be regulated by the state unless local jurisdictions impose their own rules or ban by Jan. 1, 2016. ''We' re trying tobe compassionate here and find some middle ground balance," said District 4 Supervisor John Gray.

The drugs must be given in conjunction with counseling and support groups to be most effective, Ortiz said. The third goal of the grant program, to increase naloxone access, will include educating people and their spouses or caregivers on naloxone and educating providers, Ortiz said. The drug is used for opioid overdoses by injection. Success will be measured by a decrease in overdose deaths, an increase in CURES registration by prescribers and pharmacies, an increase in pounds of drugs disposed, and increases in prescribing of buprenorphine and naloxone.

BERLIN (AP) — Germany's Volkswagen, already reeling from the fallout of cheating on U.S. emissions tests for nitrogen oxide, said Tuesday that an internal investigation has revealed "unexplained inconsistencies" in the carbon dioxide emissionsfrom 800,000 of its vehiclesa development it said could cost the company another 2 billion euros ($2.2 billion). The investigation was undertaken by the company after the revelations that many of its vehicles had software that allowed them to deceive U.S. nitrogen oxide tests. CEO Matthias Mueller promised Tuesday that Volkswagen "will relentlessly and completely clarify what has happened." "It is a painful process, but for us there is no alternative," said Mueller, who took over after CEO Martin Winterkorn resigned in September because of the emissions-rigging scandal. "For us, only one thing counts, and that is the truth." The news is the latest in a string of problems identified wit h V o lkswagen emissions, which have caused share prices to plummet. In September, the company admitted it had installedsoftware designed to defeat tests for nitrogen oxide emissions for fourcylinder diesel engines on 11 million cars worldwide, including almost 500,000 in the U.S.It has already set aside 6.7 billion euros ($7.4 billion) to cover the costs of recalling those vehicles — and analysts expect the emissions scandal to cost the company much more than that. That scandal had already widened this week, when the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency said Volkswagen had installed software on thousands of Audi, Porsche and VW cars with six-cylinder diesel engines that allowed them to emit fewer pollutants during tests than in realworld driving. Volkswagen has denied the charge, but fac-

es the prospect of more fines and lost sales. It was not immediately clear whether the 800,000 vehicles announced Tuesday with the newly discovered carbon dioxide emission problems were among those already affected. Volkswagen did not identify any models by name. However, Jeannine Ginivan, spokeswoman for Volkswagen Group of America, said"we are told theissue isnotrelated to the U.S. market." Volkswagen also did say the 800,000 were "predominantly vehicles with diesel engines," raising the possibility for the first time that some Volkswagens with gasoline-powered motorsmay also have emissions problems. A VW spokesman did not immediately return a phone call seeking clarification about that. Volkswagen's board of directors said in a separate statement that they learned of the development "with dismay and concern."

"The board of directors and the committee specially established to investigate will meet soon to discuss further measures and consequences," the board said. Despite the new issue, the company assured customers that the safety of the vehicles in question "is in no way compromised." It said Volkswagen "will endeavor to clarify the further course of action as quickly as possible and ensure the correct CO2 classif ication for the vehicles affected" with the responsible authorities. In talks with the authorities — whom Volkswagen did not identify — the company said it hoped to come up with a "reliable assessment of the legal, and the subsequent economic consequences, of this not yet fully explained issue." The news broke after Germany's DAX was closed for the day, but Volkswagen shares ended down 1.51 percent to 111 cur os.

NEW YORK (AP) — The company behind the hugely successful "Call of Duty" video games is launching an all-out attack on the mobile gaming market by shelling out $5.9 billion for the maker of "Candy Crush Saga." Activision Blizzard's purchase of King Digital Entertainment will help it keep pace as video gaming continues to move away from TVconnectedconsoles to smartphones and tablets. And it's bound to add new playersto Activision's ranks, such as women, who haven' t been especially interested in the company's violent games up to now. But the move comes at a

hefty price, especially for a company that has seen its sales and profit drop in recent years. And while "Candy Crush" is notoriously addictive, it has waned in popularity for some time.

Employment

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

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 of which 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 this property. Note: Because the Beneficiary reserves the right to bid less than the total debt owed, it is possible that at the time of the sale the opening bid may be less than the total debt.

Richard Blumenthal, 0-Connecticut deaths and more than 100 injuries worldwide. Under an agreement with the government, Takata will phase out manufacture of air bag inflators that use ammonium nitrate, the stances that led to the NHTSA agreement propellant blamed for the explosions. It also and will work to develop a new generation agreed to a schedule over the next two years of inflators. He said the settlement will "enfor replacing many of the devices already in able us to focus on rebuilding the trust of auuse. tomakers,regulators and the driving public."

NHTSA Administrator Mark Rosekind said Takata's misconduct dates to at least 2009,when itfailed to tellthe agency about the problem. Automakers must notify NHTSA of defects within five days of discovering them. Regulators said Takata also provided them with "selective, incomplete or inaccurate data" for years. Honda, Takata's biggest customer, essentially fired the supplier Tuesday. All of the air bag-relateddeaths reported so farhave been in Honda vehicles. Takata still faces hundreds of lawsuits and a federal criminal investigation. "The penalty seems small compared to the consequences of the concealment and disregard" for the law, complained Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., a frequent NHTSA and Takata critic. Takata's air bags are inflated by an explosion of ammonium nitrate, and investigators

have foundso farthatprolonged exposure to airborne moisture can cause the propellant to burn too fast. That can blow apart a metal canister and shoot out fragments. Most of those injured or killed lived in high-

humidity states along the Gulf of Mexico. The injuries included severe neck cuts and facial injuries, as well as the loss of eyesight and hearing. Still, Takata and government investigators have yet to discover the exact cause of the ruptures. With that in mind, the Transportation Department is giving Takata three to four years to prove that all of its inflators are safe or to identify the cause of the ruptures. "Unless new evidence emerges, the company will have to recall all of its inflators," even those in car models not implicated up to now, Foxx said. He said he was unsure how many air bags that would amount to. Sen. Bill Nelson of Florida, where numerous air bag ruptures have been reported,said he is worried that Takata will be able to sell ammonium nitrate inflators until the end of 2018. "We urgentlyneed toredoubleeffortstoget the recalled vehicles fixed and get the old ammonium nitrate-based inflators out," Nelson said.

The agreement also calls for the appointment of an independent monitor who will make sure Takata abides by its terms.

Wife ready to call it quits over dirty secret DEAR ANNE: I have been married to "Bruno" for 40 years. During this time, I have found his various porn magazines hidden in multiple places. My reaction has always been to throw them away and not mention it. A few months ago, I again found his stash, but this time I left them where he had them hidden. I have discovered that he takes the magazines out to look at the women every time I leave the house. Every single time! I feel like he is cheating on me. It's very disturbing. Bruno is otherwise a great guy, but that doesn't make his actions acceptable to me. Evidently, he is never going to stop this behavior and I don't think I can live with it. Now what? — NOT GOOD ENOUGH DEAR ENOUGH: For 40 years, you' ve put up with this. Now that you know Bruno is looking at the pictures more frequently than you suspected, you are ready to call it a day. What did you think he was doing with those maga-

, I Mailbox zines? Reading the articles? Please understand that, distasteful as it is, Bruno's porn fascination has nothing to do with you. And frankly, there is so much Internet porn these days, including live video, that checking out girlie magazines seems fairly benign. We aren't condoning Bruno's porn habit, but it doesn't seem to be the type of serious addiction that makes some men spendenormous amounts oftime and money looking for increasingly active methods of stimulation. Please ask yourself whether Bruno been a good husband. Does he pay attention to you? Does he treat you well? Does he help support you financially and emotionally? Is he

a good companion?The magazine porn is only one part of your life and it doesn't have to be the most important part. Please talk to Bruno about this. Tell him how much it bothers you. Ask whether he would make a sincere effort to stop. Try S-Anon (sanon.org) for spouses of porn addicts. Get counseling if you need it. We don't think this is worth throwing away 40years of an otherwise good marriage. DEARANNE: I could have written the same letter as 'Hopeless and Confused," who said she's been married for 24 years to a man who doesn't show any

affect ion and responds to her requests for deep, meaningful talks with text messages. Please tell her to run, don't walk, to a counselor knowledge in diagnosing Asperger's syndrome. Our counselor helped me move past my 30 years of pain and resentment, helped my husband to understand the ramifications and frustrations of his

condition, and best of all, taught us how to lower expectations and move forward in our marriage. We are joyfully celebratinganniversary 37 in November! -RAINPA DEAR RA: Thank you for suggesting this possibility. Asperger's syndrome is an autism spectrum disorder,and common symptoms include difficulty with s ocial skills and communication. You could be right about this man, and "Hopeless" should look into it.

Revisting recommendations on routine testing DEAR DR. ROACK I read your response to the 67-year-old woman whose insurance wanted her to have a routine urinalysis, which you felt was unnecessary.

ANSWER: The reason I don't recommend a urinalysis (and, in fact, most blood tests) is that they are more likely to cause harm (from evaluating and possibly treating a false-positive result) than they are to cause good (by finding an unsuspected condition at a time when itcan bemoreeasilytreated).

Today's Highlight in History: On Nov. 4, 1955, Baseball Hall of Fame pitcher Cy Young died in Newcomerstown, Ohio, at age 88. On this date: In 1922, the entrance to King Tutankhamen's tomb was discovered in Egypt. In 1924, President Calvin Coolidge, who'd succeeded the late President Warren G. Harding, was elected to a full term of office; Nellie T. Ross of Wyoming was elected the nation's first female governor to serve out the remaining term of her late husband, William B. Ross. In 1939, the United States modified its neutrality stance in World War II, allowing "cash and carry" purchases of arms by belligerents, a policy favoring Britain and France.

Wildcats thump Tigers in 1st round

For those who believe that this week's benching of Colin Kaepernick means the end of the 49ers quarterback ... app arently, y o u have not been studying how life in the NFL works. Quarterbacks arethe lightsabers in the Star Wars battle scenes. As long as the lightsaber is functioning, someone finds a use for it. Otherwise, the movie isn't nearly as exciting. In professional football, if a quarterback has shown he can completepassesfortouchdowns and win games, he will get second and third chances galore. Kaepernick has shown he can complete passes and win games. The problem is, he used to do both more often. Which is why he is suddenly the 49ers' second-string quarterback. But for how long? The 49ers maintained radio silence Tuesday after word leaked out that Kaepernick would not start Sunday's game against Atlanta, with Blaine Gabbert installed as the No. 1 quarterback. Thus, we don't know if the team's official stance is

that Kaepernick's demotion is just a temporary thing, allowing him to clear his head before resuming behind center ... or if head coach Jim Tomsula intends to make Gabbert the starterfor the rest ofthis season. In a way, it doesn't matter. Kaepernick will be back. One way or the other, sooner or later. He will either replace Gabbertbefore January orwillbe starting for another team next season because some other franchise will take a chance on him. Me? I would bet on the first possibility. Gabbert is likely to have many of the same problems Kaepernick did this season, playing behind an offensive line that includes a few

A 45-minute lightning delay didn't prevent the Sonora Wildcats girls' water polo team from beating Los Banos 19-8 Tuesday at Sonora Sport and Fitness to advance to the second round of the CIF Sac-Joaquin Section Division III Championships. With the match scheduled to begin at 3:30, rain and lightning made its way through Sonora. Any sign of lightning automatically requires a 30-minute delay. With the players huddled around each other by the edge of the pool, a Rash of lightning shot across the dark Sonora sky. After the initial excitement from the power of Mother Nature, the realization of another delay dampened the mood of everyone in attendance. At 4 p.m., players from both teams were allowed to enter the pool, and by 4:15, the match was underway. With steam rising

ALAMEDA (AP) — The decade-long search for a game-breaking wide receiver in Oakland has ended. Rookie Amari Cooper is already poised to take his place alongside the many talented receivers i n

R a i d ers

history. He became the first rookie in more than a half-century to record three 100-yard performances in the first six games of the season. He has put together a highlight reel with his precise footwork, big-play ability after the catch and fearless nature. In his latest feat, he spent a day on Revis Island and came out of it unscathed. "He's awesome, man," cor-

plan, movinghim around and a lotof places to give him the ball. Awesome. The sky is the limit for him. A special player, he is." Revis is widely considered the best cover cornerback of his generation and has made a career of eliminating the opponent's top receiving option. He spent almost the entire day matched up with Cooper but Derek Carr showed signs of shying away.

Cooper beat Revis deep on Oakland's first play from scrimmage only to h ave Carr overthrow him. But that set the tone for the day. Cooper caught a 12-yard pass on the opening drive, added two receptionsfor first downs the next time the Raiders had the ball and finished the day with

Joel Bouagnon's 2-yard touchdown with 1:59 remaining lifted the Huskies (6-3, 4-1 M id-American Conference) to their sixth consecutive victory against the Rockets (7-1, 4-1). Bouagnon rushed for 87 yards on 26 carries. Graham entered midway through the second quarter after Drew Hare

suffered a leg injury. Hare spent the second half on the sideline in crutches, and Graham was 9 for 12 for 132 yards and ran for 41 more yards. The H uskies c losed to 27-25 when Graham found Kenny Golladayfor a diving 7-yard touchdown reception with 9:27 left. Northern Illinois caught a big break on the scoring drive when Toledo's DeJuan Rogers was called for a personal foul on a field goal attempt. The Tuesday night meeting was part of the MAC's 12th season of switching key games to mid-week dates in exchange for major national television coverage. Both teams dressedfor the occasion, with Toledo wearing gold jerseys over goldpants forthefirsttim e and Northern Illinois donning new all-white road uniforms.

"The team did an amazing job tonight," said Summerville head coach Jennifer Osterhout. 'We came out ready to fight and take the win Rom Linden. Tonight was one of the few times that our mental game was con-

sistent throughout the whole match. It wasexciting to see because that is what we have been striving for all season."

The win gives Summerville (6-13, 4-8 MLL) a shot at the playoffs. The Mother Lode League is sending four teams to the playoffs, and the Bears are still in the running for the fourth position.

NFL Rock climber Caldwell to write memoir NEW YORK (AP) Rock climber T ommy Caldwell, who made history earlier this year with a freeclimb in Yosemite National Park, has a book deal. V iking Penguin a n nounced Tuesday that it has acquired the 37-yearold Caldwell's memoir "Push" and plans to release the book in 2017. Caldwell and partner Kevin Jorgeson in January became the first people to freeclimb the 3,000 foot Dawn Wall of Yosemite's El Capitan. They spent 19 days scaling the wall, using only their hands and feet to propel themselves up the sheer granite wall that has long been considered the world's most difficult climb. Viking Penguin says Caldwell's book will tell of his lifelong passion for climbing and of the many obstacles he overcame, including losing his left index finger.

Oakland will give present ation to NFL NEW YORK (AP) Representati ves from three cities where NFL teams are in the hunt to move to Los Angeles are set togive presentations n ext week i n

New York. S t. Lo u i s and San Diego have previously discussed their proposed stadium projects with the league, but the Nov. 11 meeting will be the first time Oakland gives a presentation.

The Raiders and Chargers have been taking preliminary steps in anticipation of gettingapproval to move to Los Angeles. They announced plans for a joint stadium in Carson in February after St. Louis Rams owner Stan Kroenke said he wanted to build a new stadium in Inglewood. The league said there will be no votes at the committee meeting. The NFL could decide in January whether it will place a team in L.A. for 2016.

NASCAR parks Matt Kenseth for 2 races C HARLOTTE, N. C . (AP) — Looking to squash any notion that the drivers are running amok on the track, NASCAR suspended Matt Kenseth for two races Tuesday for intentionally wrecking Joey Logano in an act of retaliation that d ramatically changed the lineup of drivers in the running for the championship. The p enalty l e vied against Kenseth is fairly unprecedented. Dr ivers have been suspended before for on-track actions,

but typically only for one race and the policy has not been uniform. NASCAR said it punished Kenseth because he had no chance at winning and intentionally altered the outcome of Sunday's race. NASCAR also said it factoredaspects of safety in penalizing Kenseth as well as "the fact that the new Chase elimination format puts a premium on each and everyrace." NAS CAR c h a irman Brian France earlier indicated a tough penalty was in works because the series can't allow a driver to think the way to "pay back somebody for something that happened is take matters into their own hands."

In addition, Danica Patrick was fined $50,000 and docked 25 points for intentionally wrecking David Gilliland earlier in the race. Joe Gibbs Racing immediately said it would appeal for Kenseth, and teammate Denny Hamlin decried the severity ofthe penalty. Kenseth was nine laps down at Marlinsville when

he deli berately drove Logano into the wall. The crash was payback for Logano wreckiiig K enseth t h r ee

races ago in an incident that led to Kenseth's elimination from NASCAR's playoQs.

Clemson, lSU, Ohio St., Tide top 1st playofF rankings NEW YORK (AP) — Clemson, LSU, Ohio State and Alabama are the top four teams in the first College Football Playoff selection committee rankings of the season. Notre Dame was fifth and Baylor was sixth on Tuesday night. Clemson, LSU and Ohio

If you think Alabama is positioned to simply win out and get in the playoff, think again. Ole Miss is still in control of the SEC West race, so Alabama will need the Rebels to lose just to reach the SEC championship game. At 11-1 with no conference championship, Alabama is likely to get jumped by teams that do win conference titles, induding whichever team wins the SEC.

Pac-12 left with just a few chances at CFP PHOENIX (AP) — The Pac-12 got an invite to the inaugural College Football Playoff, with Oregon making it to the national championship game. The conference may have a tougher road this season as teams have takenturns knockingeachotheroff . At the core will be whether the CFP committee looks at the conference's parity as a strength or a weakness. The first rankings were released Tuesday night and the ones that count will be on Dec. 6, when the final four teams are announced. There is still a long way to go, but here's a rundown of the teams still left in the Pac-12 race and the implications: Stanford (7-1, 60) No. 11 in CFP Impact of winning Pao12 title: The Cardinal are the Pac-12's best shot at earning a CFP spot. Stanford has been in the top 10 of the AP poll the past three weeks and winning a conference like the Pac-12 would carry a lot of weight, especially if it finishes the regular season with one loss. The playoff committee was certainly impressed despite the Cardinal' s season-opening clunker against

RAIDERS Continued from PageC1 some and he's one of the best in this league," Carr said. "Obviously because he's a rookie and hasn't done it for a certain amount of time, people won't say that but he' s one of the best." Cooper could have bigger numbers ifthe Raiders didn' t have so much success throw-

ing to Michael Crabtree and Andre Holmes against Antonio Cromartie and New York's other cornerbacks. But he has put up gaudy numbers so far this season with 38catches for565 yards and three touchdowns. Cooper is on pace for 1,291 yards receiving, which would give Oakland its first 1,000-yard receiver since Randy Moss in 2005. Only two Raiders have ever had more yards receiving in a season — Hall of Famer Tim Brown and Art Powell. Only four rookies have everhad a more prolific season: Bill Groman (1,473), Anquan Boldin (1,377), Moss (1,313), and Odell Beckham Jr. (1,305). "I feel like there's room to grow and that I can play so much better than I am right now," Cooper said. That kind of response is typical of Cooper, who prefers to do his talking through his play on the field. Unlike some top receivers who get the

"diva" label, Cooper is mostly quiet and rarely shows emotion on the field. He has earned respect around th e l e ague t h at doesn't often come to rookies. Jets receiver Brandon Marshall called him a "stud muffin" last week and New York coach Todd Bowles praised his intelligence and said he plays well beyond his years. "Rarely do you see receivers come out of college and they are able to run patterns," Bowles said. "He's got body control. Great hands; can catch it in traffic. He' s got the full gamut. He can get offthe ball. He's got speed. He can catch the ball. He runs routes. A route runner

is more dangerous than just a speed guy or a big receiver and he can do both." Cooper entered the league as the fourth overall pick out of Alabama known as apolished route runner. Cooper said he has been training as a receiver since he was a young kid running patterns in the backyard and that has paid off for him. What has been a little bit of a surprise is how dangerous he is after the catch. Cooper has been able to turn short passes into big gains, most notably when he took a screen from Carr and ran 52 yards for a score against San Diego, featuring an anklebreaking cut to elude safety Jimmy Wilson. "I think a lot of the plays

at Alabama you saw him streaking down the sideline," offensive coordinator Bi ll Musgrave said. "He's caught

The Utes were being touted as a strong CFP contender after blowing out Oregon in Eugene, then beating California and Arizona State. A loss to Southern California on Oct. 24 put a big dent in their hopes. Utah does have some quality wins, but losing to an unranked team so late in the season probably won't look good in the eyes of the selection committee. Utah's best shot at getting in the playoff is to win the rest of its games and beat Stanford in the Pac-12 championship game. Winning the Pac-12

against is a must. UCLA (6-2, 3-2) Impact of winning Pac-12 title: An awful lot of things would need to happen for the Bruins to get into the playoff. It starts with UCLA running the table the rest of the season, which would include, obviously, a Pac-12 championship. After that, UCLA would need a few of the teams ahead of it in the CFP rankings to falter, allowing a two-loss team from the Pac-12 to earn one of the final four spots. Eventual champion Ohio State started 16th in the initial CFP rankings a year ago, but did it with one loss. The Bruins still have games against Washington State, Utah and USC before even thinking about the playoff.

As well as the Trojans have played since coach Steve Sarkisian was fired, they' re not getting into the play-

Oregon (54, 3-2) Impact of winning Pac-12 title: Like USC, the Ducks will not be in the play off no matter what they do the rest of the season. Oregon lost a cl game to No. 6 Michigan State, whic is making its case to be in the CFP, but lost to Utah by 42 at home an was outlasted in double overtime by Washington State.

PURDY Continued from PageCl found waiting in line at the DMV. There's little time to throw on dropback passes — and with no real rushing attack while Carlos Hyde is out with a hinky foot, there is no other option but to throw. It's a bad combination. Also, unlike Kaepernick, Gabbert has had little success in the NFL. He has not won a game as a start-

But the team should think hard about that. Did I mention the lightsaber analogy? It's better to have one that you know can work, rather than build one from scratch. We have seen what Kaepernick can do when surrounded by proper talent. He was never one ofthe league's top 10 quarterbacks. But with a good roster around him, he was able to win a playofF game in Gre.n Bay. How many NFL quarterbacks today can say the same? In coming days, you will hear much blather about Kaepernick's psyche being destroyed. You will hear about teammates supposedly shunning him. Or about the 49ers benching him to make sure he doesn't get hurt, to avoid kicking in a contract clause that would guarantee millions. You will hear about this all being the biggest 49ers tu-

The offensive line can't be blamed forallofit,although the 49ershave not had a quarterback who could overcomerosterflawsin thatregard since Jeff Garcia. Nor can you point the finger at

the departure of head coach Jim Harbaugh. Remember, Kaepernick's reversalofform actuall y began last season when Harbaugh — or someone — decided that Kaepernick needed todevelop more traditional pocket-passing skills. The plan did not go well. Kaepernick is not a traditional pocket passer. When asked to beone,he seems to either overthink or unde~ the t a sk. I'm still not sure which. And as far as his team leadership goes ... just by observation, yes, Kaepernick can be a little self-absorbed. But again, that puts him in a big NFL club. And he was just as selfabsorbed on the way to the Super Bowl in the 2012 season as he is now. Anyone who saw what Kaepernick did in 2012 and 2013 knows there's enough raw material to produce more than the &eeway chemical spill we' ve seen from the 49ers quarterbacking position in recent weeks. Maybe the time off will clear the goo out of Kaepernick's brain and he comes back in the season' s last month to perform better. Or maybe he does finish out the season as a No. 2, then leaves for a &anchise

ing quarterback since September 2012 when he was with the Jacksonville Jaguar and defeated an Indianapolis Colts team that went on to the playofFs. That was probably Gabbert's biggest NFL victory. There aren't many other options. Gabbert won only five games during three injury-riddled seasons with the Jaguars before joining the 49ers last year. mult ever. Discount most of it. In Not a stellar resume, to say the

least. There is no reason to believe Gabbert is the answer to the 49ers' ofFensive sludgefest. When things go badly for Gabbert, as they surely will, Kaepernick will get the call to return. Heck, it could happen as early as the second half of Sunday's game. And if not, that will happen in the following game. Or the next. No matter what, Kaepernick seems bound to be gone in the ofFseason. He has a team-&iendly contract. The 49ers could send him on his way and draft a rookie to install as the new hope.

MLB Wada, Mateo fall just short of salary arbitration NEW YORK (AP) — Chicago Cubs hurler Tsuyoshi Wada and San Diego right-hander Marcos Mateo fell short of qualifying for salary arbitration. Each pitcher has 2 years, 128 years of major league service, and the final players to qualify were a trio at 2 years, 130 days: Washington's Anthony Rendon, Los Angeles Angels' Kole Calhoun and Cleveland's JefFManship. Under the labor contract agreed in November2011,the top 22 percentof players by service time with at least two years but less than three are eligible for arbitration as long as they had at least 86 days this year. They join the older group of thre. to-six year players that are eligible. The cutofF was 2 years, 122 days afterthe2014season and2-139afterthe 2013 season. 1bum can avoid arbitration by failing to offer a contract by the Dec. 2 tender deadline, which would make the player a &ee agent.
