A $425,000proposalforthe City ofSonora to fund an annual summer concert series overthe next fiveyearsneeds togo back to the drawing board, the city Finance Committee said Friday. The Sonora Chamber of Commerce is asking the city for $85,000 a year to organize and host four events each summer as a way to boost business by attracting more people to the downtown area. However, City Administrator Tim Miller has expressed reservations about the proposal's cost due to the city's tight budget. "From an administrative perspective, I don't think the city is in a position to grant the request with the way it's currently structured," he said Friday. The city's Finance Committee makes recommendations to the Sonora City Council on fiscal matters. Voting members of the committee are Miller, interim Finance Director Bijan Sadeghian, Councilman Bill Canning and Councilman George Segarini. Miller gave an outline of the city's bud-

He remained after lootersbegan prospecting the area. He remained after he had to jump into his pool to keep from burning alive. In doing so, he saved three houses, though one was later lost, and his neighbor's Harley-Davidson, which Montgomery took out of a garage before it caught fire. He eventually left with his son the Saturday after the fire started and escaped to Alpine Lake. The pair remained there, catching their food, until they heard from

"It's a major killer of a lot of people," she said. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 1 million adults get pneumococcal pneumonia every year and 5 to 7 percent will die from it. In its worst forms,pneumococcal disease kills one in every four to five people over the age of 65 who gets it. It's the leading cause of deathfor people who live in nursing homes, according to a 2004 study by the University of Louisville School of Medicine in Kentucky. The populations most at risk are the very young and the very old, because their

The Union Democrat published an article on Friday, Nov. 13, 2015, titled, "Report: Tuolumne County has good health." In some ways, and for some populations, that statement is true. The report cited is from County Health Rankings, produced by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute. The full 2015 county health rankings were released in March. This month, the organizationreleased a short report summarizing previously released data focusing on attempts to identify gaps and suggest areas for improvements. The Union Democrat article cites the quality of life ranking for Tuolumne County as 2nd in the state, behind only Marin County. What the article failed to mention was the margin of error onthose data points. County Health R a nkings measures Quality of Life with four data sources: the number

of people who rate their health as poor or fair, how many days peoplecite having poor physical health days, how many days people cite having poor mental health days, and low birth weight. For the first three measures, taken from the national Behavioral Health Risk Factor Surveillance Survey, the margin of error for Tuolumne County's rates is toolarge to make a

conclusion from. If Tuolumne County's rate for people citing poor or fairhealth is 13 percent, and thestate average is 18 percent, but the margin of error is from 9-20 percent, we cannot conclude that we are above the state average, much less conclude that we are 2nd best in the state. For the fourth measure, our rate is skewed by the fact that many high risk pregnancies and premature births are transferred out of county to facilities with neonatal intensive care units.

Ignoring margins of error is a problem with the majority of rankings created by the County Health Rankings. And the reason for this problem is that these national and state data sources are not powered to properly

overnmentri e What's the best place to get a noshow job? The federal government. Uncle Sam pays corrupt or incompetent employees not to come to work, because it's easier than firing them, never mind the cost to taxpayers. Congress is trying to get to the bottom of this outrageous waste. So far, the Obama administration is stonewalling. In fact, President Obama and Democrats in Congress are pushing for yet more perks and pay hikes for federal workers. But get ready for a battle, because the new Speaker of the House, Paul Ryan, is vowing to slow this gravy train in its tracks. Right now, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R.-Iowa, is pressing for answers about the $3.1 billion spent on noshow jobs in the last three years. The Department of Homeland Security has paid 88 employees to stay home for at least a year, including three who have been twiddling their thumbs for three years. The preposterous explanation from DHS is that the allegations againsttheseworkers are so serious that they can't be allowed back to work, but not conclusive enough to fire them.

POLL QUESTION

To the Editor: I'd like to offer my congratulations to Tuolumne County, the Board of Supervisors and to Deputy County Administrator Tracie Riggs for the proactive way in which they have continued to meet the water needs of their citizens despite a severe drought. The California State Association of Counties (CSAC) recently honored the county's Residential Water Safety Net program with a statewide Challenge Award and presented it to the Board on Tuesday, Nov. 3. There is nothing more basic to human health than clean, fresh water. However, after several years of drought, many counties — including Tuolumne — have residents whose wells have run dry. If people have to leave their homes for lack of water, there are many long-term negative impacts for the individuals and the county. Tuolumne County's proactive approach to prevent this includes speeding hookups to municipal water supplies where possible and installing tanks and trucking water to people where necessary. The county tapped emergency funds from the state to cover most of the costs. This positive, can-do program has kept hundreds of families in their homes. The program has been lauded by the State Office of Emergency Services and is serving as a template for many other counties to follow. Congratulations!

Proposed smoking ban heats up debate athousing complex LOS ANGELES (AP)At William Mead Homes, where people live in 415 tidy if aging red-brick apartments on the edge of downtown Los Angeles, opinions on the federal government's proposed ban on smoking both inside and outside of all public housing are about as plenti ful as the scores of cigarette butts dotting the complex's numerous green common lawns. How will the government enforce such a wide-reaching possible regulation as the one proposed Thursday, smokers and non-smokers alike asked. And whatever happened to the rights of people to do whatever they want in their own homes as long as they aren't breaking the law, opined others. "Do you really think the police are going to come into peoples' homes because they' re smoking? I don' t," said 21-year-old Aaron Castaneda, who grew up in the warren oftwo-story apart-

ments built during World War II and now hemmed in by railroad tracks and warehouses. "If people pay their rent, why can't they smoke in their own house?" asked Castenada,a self-described light tobacco smoker who was carry'mg a pouch of rollyour-own with him Thursday. Daniel Ramirez, a 16-yearold aspiring actor, felt differently. "I think we all know smoking is a bad thing. I don' t smoke, and I don't want people to smoke around me," he said as he stood on a common front lawn littered with cigarette butts. "People have p r i vacy rights if they' re over 18," he continued. But if there are kids in the house, smoking is not good for them and it' s got to go. So yeah, I support a ban." The issue of children' s safety also seemed to be

out of public housing. "Everyone — no matter where they live — deserves a chance to grow up in a healthy, smoke-free home," said the surgeon general, Dr. Vivek Murthy. 'There is no safe level of secondhand smoke." Smoking i s alr e ady banned in about 20 percent of the n ation's federally subsidized housing. The Department of Housing and Urban Development wants to extend that to the other 940,000 units around the country, in cities such as Los Angeles, New York, Atlanta and Miami. HUD Secretary Julian Castro said a nationwide ban would protect more than 760,000 children and save about $153 million a year in healthcare costs,repairs and preventablefi res. The proposed rule would ban littobacco productscigarettes, cigars or pipes — in all residences, indoor

3ustices to hear first abortion case since '07 WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court is giving an election-year hearing to a dispute over state regulation of abortion clinics in the court's first abortion case in eight years. The justices said Friday they will hear arguments,probably in March, over a Texas law that would leave about 10abortion clinics open across the state. A decision should come by late June, four months before the presidential election. The issue split the court 5-4 the last time the justices decided an abortion case in 2007, and Justice Anthony Kennedy is expected to hold the controlling vote on a divided court. The case tests whether tough new standards for clinics and the doctors who work in them are reasonable measures intended to protect women' s health or a pretext designed to make abortionshard, if not impossible, to obtain. Texas clinics challenged the 2013 law as a violation of a woman's con-

stitutional right to an abortion. stitute, which supports legal access to The high court previously blocked abortion. Eleven states impose admitparts of the Texas law. The court took no ting privileges requirements on docactionon a separateappealfrom Missis- tors who perform abortions in clinics, sippi, where a state law would close the the institute said. only abortion clinic, in Jackson. The measures go beyond what is States have enacted a wave of mea-

sures in recent years that have placed restrictions on when in a pregnancy abortions may be performed, imposed limits on abortions using drugs instead of surgery and raised standards for clinics and the doctors who work in them. The new case concerns the last cate-

gory. In Texas, the fight is over two provisions of the law that Gov. Rick Perry signed in 2013. One requires abortion facilities to be constructed like surgical centers. The other allows doctors to perform abortions at clinics only if they have admitting privileges at a local hospital. Twenty-two states have surgical center requirements for abortion clinics, according to the Guttmacher In-

necessary to ensure patients' safety

because the risks from abortions in the first trimester of pregnancy, when the overwhelming majority of abortions are performed, are minimal, the institute said. Nancy Northup, president and CEO of the Center for Reproductive Rights, said Texas is one of several states that have enacted "sham laws"

to restrict access to abortion." This law does not advance women's health and in fact undermines it," Northup said. But National Right to Life president Carol Tobias said the clinics are more interested in preserving their cash flow than protecting women. "The abortion industry doesn't like these laws becauseabortion clinics would be forced to spend money to meet basic health and safety standards," Tobias said.

They were stuck on the property, because leaving the neighborhood would prevent reentry. So they set up camp in a tent they found in the garbage outside the lake where they resided, on the property, for the next month.

Today, along with the tent, Montgomery owns two trailer homes that sit on the outskirts of the rubble on his property. Montgomery said the loss of the home itself isn't the most difficult thing. It's the fact that he has to look at what remains of the place where he raised his children â&#x20AC;&#x201D; three of whom, along with a son-in-law, died in a car accident several years ago on Mountain Ranch Road. It will never be the same. "I miss them. This somehow brought back all the memories of the kids, because this is where they were born and raised," said Montgomery, who also lost his daughter's ashes in the blaze. "(The hardest part) is when I look at (the destruction) in the morning."

Experls give advice on winterizing your home, preparing for emergencies By SEAN CARSON The Union Democrat

Home preparation, energy-saving tips To prepare your home for winter, Tuolumne County Office of Emergency Services, the Centers For Disease Control and the L.S. Department of Energy recommend the following: • Have your chimney or flue inspected annually. • Install a smoke detector and a batteryoperated carbon monoxide detector. Test the batteries and replace regularly. • Bring pets indoors during the winter. • Insulate walls and attic. • Caulk and weather-strip doors and windows. • Install storm windows or cover windows with plastic from the inside. • Insulate any water lines to prevent freezing. • Install an easy-to-read outdoor thermometer. • Repair roof leaks and cut away tree

branches that could fall on your home during a storm. • Clean out gutters. • Listen to weather forecasts. • Have sandbags ready. • Free sand is available at the Tuolumne City Fire Station, Tuolumne Road Yard at the corner of Baker and Cedar streets, the Columbia Airport, in Jamestown on the corner of Eighth and Seventh streets, and in Groveland at 11240 Wards Ferry Road. Tips to save energy: • Reverse your fan to push warm air downward and recirculate it through the room. Set it so the blades are spinning clockwise when you look up. • Replace outdoor lights with energyefficient bulbs to cut down on extra use when daylight is limited.

According to t h e 2 0 15 USDA pollinator report, beekeeperslost 40 percent of their honeybee colonies last year. Over the past 20 years, monarch butterfly migration toMexico has dropped by 90 percent. In May 2015, the White House released its long-awaited plan to unite the U.S., Canada and Mexico around butterflies, bees and other poll inators. According to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, unless we act now to help the monarch, it could disappear in our lifetime. The state of m onarchs r eflects the health of t he American landscape and its pollinators. Monarch declines are symptomatic of environmental problems that pose risks to food production and our own health. Areas rich in butterflies and moths are rich in other invertebrates that collectively provide beneflts ranging from pollination and pest control to food supply for insectivorous animals. Each butterfly and moth evolved its own chemicals to deter predators and parasites, and overcome the

chemicaldefenses ofits host plant. These chemicals have human value. Powerful antibiotics have been found in a wide rangeof species called the meadow brown. Monarch larvae only eat milkweed. Some species of milkweed have chemicals called car denolides, which are poisonous to many insects and birds. Female monarchs prefer to lay their eggs on milkweed species containing cardenolides. When the larvae eat these milkweed species, they uptake the poison and are protected from predators. The larvae pass

If this will also be your plan, remember to disconnect the hose when finished to avoid the risk of water backup and frozen pipes under the house. It is always a question whether to cut back or leave standing those perennials that have lost their luster and show signs of die-back. I will admit to not being Miss Tidy. I cut back as I am able but leave some standing as I enjoy watching the birds feast on the seed pods. Cutting back perennials to 6 to 8 inches above ground allows the remaining stems to hold the snow in place, helping to insulate the plants.

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 h@uniondemocrat.corn

This will alert him that he' s not pulling anything over on you and it will also be a reminder to him for next time. He may have an explanation, but more likely, he will claim you misunderstood him. A polite inquiry will either force him to recognize that his comments areinappropriate and he will stop, or he will avoid you. Sounds like a win-win to us.

Women's heart attack symptoms confusing DEAR DR. ROACH:My question is about symptoms for women's heart attacks. I have always heard that symptoms for women can be much difFerent from men' s. Instead of the chest-clutching,sharppain thatmen can have,Ihave readthatwomen'ssymptoms can beany of these: heartburn or indigestion; pain in the jaw, neck, shoulders, back, one or both arms;fatigue and troubled sleep; dizziness and nausea;orextreme anxiety. Are you KIDDING me? I am a healthy, active 63-year-old woman. I have had all of these symptoms at one time or another. If I acted every time I had one of these symptoms,Iwould be atthe doctor's of6ce every day. How is one to know which symptoms to take seriously and act on immediately, and which to wait a few daystoseeifitistemporary? Thank you for addressing this confus-

Bewildered by longtime friend's rude behavior DEAR ANNIlr:: My husband and I were close friends with another couple for35 years.W etook tripsabroad with them, attended their parties and invited them to all of our special occasions. About fi ve years ago,the husband left the wife for another woman. He then retired and moved to a town 30 miles away. We still see him on rare occasions. When we do, he makes a point of saying something snarky and belit tling to us. He might make fun of what my husband is wearing, criticize our new caror bring up a disagreement he had with me on a trip 17 years ago.

Today in history Today is Saturday, Nov. 14, the 318th day of 2015. There are 47 days left in the year. Today's Highlight in History: On Nov. 14, 1965, the U.S. Army's first major military operation of the Vietnam War began with the start of the five-day Battle of la Drang. (The fighting between American troops and North Vietnamese forces ended on Nov. 18 with both sides claiming victory.) On this date: In 1889, inspired by the Jules Verne novel "Around the World in Eighty Days," New York World reporter Nellie Bly (Elizabeth Cochrane) set out to make the trip in less time than the fictional Phileas Fogg. (She completed the journey in 72 days.) In 1940, during World War ll, German planes destroyed most of the English town of Coventry. In 1954, the president of Egypt, Muhammad Naguib, was deposed by the Revolutionary Command Council, leaving Gamal Abdel Nasser fully in charge as acting head of state. In 1969, Apollo 12 blasted off for the moon. In 1970, a chartered Southern Airways DC-9 crashed while trying to land in West Virginia, killing all 75 people on board, including the Marshall University football team and its coaching staff. ln 1986, the Securities and Exchange Commissionimposed a $100 million penalty against inside-trader Ivan F. Boesky and barred him from working again in the securities industry. In 1990, it was revealed that pop duo Milli Vanilli

(Rob Pilatus a nd Fa b rice Morvan) had done none of the singing on their Grammy-winning debut album "Girl You Know It' s True."

BRIDGE Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Today is a 6 — Investigate a partner's crazy suggestion. Today and tomorrow are good for making changes at home. Resist the temptation to throw money at a problem. Creative solutions utilize existing resources. Express your feelings openly, and listen to those of your housemates. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Today is a 7 — It's a time of intense learning. You' re even smarter than usual for the next few days. Change is good! State your terms. Take good notes. Build on a loved one's idea. Temporary confusion dissipates if you don't engage. Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Today is a 9 —Today and tomorrow are good for making money. Look further out to find what you' re looking for. Watch where you' re going, to avoid pitfalls and accidents. Provide work of quality and integrity. Romance flowers with attention. Sagittarius (Nov. K-Dec. 21):Today is a 9 — Enjoy a confident phase over the next two days. Work it. Stand up for what you think is right. Take charge and move forward. Don't force things ... timing is important. Let it develop naturally. Soothe nerves through physical activities. Capricorn (Dec. 22 Jan. 19): Today is a 5 —Get into thoughtful planning mode. Take time for peaceful reflection, and consider the route ahead. Be respectful. Listen and learn. Consider the budget, and choose what to spend on in advance. Plug financial leaks. Rest and recharge. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):Today is a 7 — Getwhat you' ve got coming. Don't take risks until after now. Finish on time. It's not a popularity contest. Exert yourself. Hold out for the best deal. Dress a cut above your usual. Stretch yourself emotionally. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20):Today is an 8 — Today and tomorrow favor meetings and parties. Get social, and expand your networks. Keep promises and deadlines. If at first you don't feel understood or appreciated, patiently continue your good work. They figure it out eventually.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Entering on its first three-game home losing streak since 1997, the U n ited States stumbled at the start of its first qualifier for the 2018 World Cup when St. Vincent and the Grenadines went ahead in the fifth minute. 'You thought it was going tobe'Here we go again, Jozy Altidore admitted. Altidore and an evolving U.S. lineup made sure that did not happen. Altidore scored twice and the Americans rolled to a 6-1 victory Friday night over 129th-ranked St. Vincent. Bobby Wood tied the score in the 11th, Fabian Johnson put the 33rd-ranked Americans ahead in the 29th and Altidore scored two minutes later. Geoff Cameron and Gyasi Zardes boosted the leadto5-1early in the second half, and Altidore added his second goal in the 74th. ''We responded really well

and we neutralized them," Altidore said after increasing his total to 31 international goalsand moving ahead of Brian McBride into fourth place in the U.S. career scoring list. Oalex Anderson, a member of the third-division Seattle Sounders 2 who turned 20 on Wednesday, took advantageofdefensiveconfusion by Zardes and DeAndre Yedlin to put the visitors in front. Not exactly that start needed following a month of criticism of U.S. coach Jurgen Klinsmann.

Portland midfielder Darlington Nagbe and New York Red Bulls defender Matt Miazga made their national team debuts in the 64th. Nagbe, 25, was born in Liberia and became a U.S. citizen in September. Miazga, 20, also was eligible to play for Poland before Friday. "I always knew I was going hopefully one day play for the U.S.," Miazga said. "It was a great moment. A little bit of nerves, but that's normal." There was a moment of silencefor the victims of attacks in Paris earlier Friday. The game drew a nearsellout crowd of 43,433 with t emperatures in t h e 5 0 s

"We knew that team, actually that player, was a good player," Zardes said. 'You know you have to get right back in the game. It's very crucial." The Americans are unbeaten in 10 straight World Cup qualifying openers (5-05) and unbeaten in 28 home qualifiers (26-0-2) since 2001. "We didn't look past them," for the national team's first

head coach Dave Reel doesn't think the neutral field will make a big difference in the outcome of the game. What he is looking forward to is the quality of the officiating being superior to what his team dealt with in the previous meeting against the Lions. With a second blue-section championship banner on the line, the Summerville players and coaches know what a win today would do, not only for the soccer program, but for the school.

"After the threatened school shooting,we decided it would be good to put the school on our shoulders and carry them through it," Funk said. "Having another blue banner in any sportis a pretty coolthing." There is always the possibility that Linden will beat Summerville and shatter the back-to-back dream.

"They hype has always been there, and it's been there all year." "We are just going to try to improve on the things we do well and stick to our game plan," Bears head coach Dave Reel said. "I thought that we played them well in our games. Maybe we just didn't finish off certain things like we could have, and we didn't deny things that we could have against them.

Allen signed a $23 million, four-year contract with Oakland aAer spending his first five seasons in Philadelphia. He had missed just six games in his career prior to being sidelined with the Raiders. "The first couple weeks are all right but then once you start getting five, six weeks, it' s like, man," Allen said. "You got out there for two weeks and you have to practice, and then Sunday everybody's suiting up and you're not active. It's all right though. It's part of the process." The news wasn't as encouraging for center Rodney Hudson. Hudson suffered a high ankle sprain during last week's loss in Pittsburgh and has not practiced this week. Another of the offseason signings by Oakland general manager Reggie McKenzie, Hudson has been wearing a walk-

ing boot on his right foot the past two days. Although Hudson hasn't practiced this week and is listed as doubtful, the Raiders are holding out hope he might be able to play against the Vikings. If not, veteran offensive lineman Tony Bergstrom is expected to start

at center. "(Hudson) has gotten better each day," Del Rio said. 'We' ll see how it goes come Sunday. We prepared the other guys. Tony's obviously gotten the lion's share of the work." Notes: Del Rio said that fourth-round pick Jon Feliciano will back up Bergstrom if Hudson does not play.... Wide receiver Amari Cooper (quad) and running back Latavius Murray (concussion) practiced without restricti ons and are probable.Woodson (shoulder), Carrie and tight end Clive Walford (quad) are also probable.

"First off it was a very physical play," said Wildcat head coach Bryan Craig. "Jacob came up and hit the guy, almost picked it and created the fumble. I think that set the tone right there, plus we returned it for a touchdown. And now they' re already down a touchdown on the road and they saw it was going to be a physical match and that set the tone for the restofthe game."

Last year, the Wildcats defeated the Indians 56-14 in the division IV playoffs. "It was one heck of a game," said Sonora fullback/nose guard Brett McCutchen. "I came into it knowing we were going to win. We played really hard. The defense was incredible — I don't think we could have done any better on defense."

It would be hard to imagine the Wildcats doing better on defense. Sonora surrendered just 96 total yards, and 77 came in the fourth quarter when the Wildcats were leading 39-0. Marysville could not block McCutchen or Gookin or fellow defensive tackle Shane Petrey. Sonora's defensive line lived in the Marysville backfield, and McCutchen, a Mariposa transfer this season, led the way with three sacks.

"Iwas hoping he'd beon a championship celebration all summer, and he's been working on his game," Riverssaid."That' stoobad forallofus." Grizzliescoach David Joerger joked about using three defenders on Curry before a 50-point loss at Golden State earlier this month. Rivers has already noticed Curry's offseason efforts, such as making the adjustment to defenses constantly switching on him. ''We' ve seen great shooters in the league. We' ve seen great ball handlers in the league. We haven't seen great shootersthat are ball handlers," Rivers said. "He's both and I don't think we' ve seen a combination of what he can do. At least I haven' t."

for his gear this season from the start of last season while his jersey sales are up 581 percent. Golden Stategear is also the top seller for NBA apparel. The Warriors won 129-116 at Minnesota on Thursday night for the best start in franchise history, becoming the fourth team to begin a season at least 10-0 immediately after capturing a championship. Curry has already made 24 more 3-pointers than any player ever through the first 10 games of the season. With 333 points, he' s scored the most in that span of any player since Michael Jordan's 338 to begin the 1992-93 season. "Michael Jordan was a whole 'nother thing and this guy is his own thing," Minnesota's Kevin Garnett said. "It'sbeautiful for basketball and beautiful for the sport.

In terms of a ceiling for Curry's abilities, Walton said, "I don' t know, I don't think there is one." "What he does is incrediblethe range, the off the dribble. The bigger the moment it seems like more often they go in as well," Walton said. "I think he's setting the new standard of being the greatest shooterthisleague'sever seen."

Cousinsscores 40, Kings defeat Nets 111-109 SACRAMENTO (AP) — DeMarcus Cousins had 30 of his season-high 40 points in the second half and added 13 rebounds, Rajon Rondo had a triple-double and the Sacramento Kings beat the struggling Brooklyn Nets 111-109 on Friday night. It was the second straight victory for the Kings, who had snapped a six-game losing streak on Wednesday. Rondo had his third triple-double in four games, with 23 points, 14 assists and 10 re-

bounds. Reserve Ben McLemore had a season-high 15 points and Marco Belinelli had 14. Jarrett Jack had 21 points and 12 assists for the Nets, who have opened the season with a 1-8 record. Brook Lopez had 17 points and 10 rebounds and Thaddeus Young had 16 and nine rebounds. Bojan Bogdanovic had 15 points and Joe Johnson scored 10 of his 14 points in the fourth quarter.

Cousins, who fouled out with 43 seconds remaining, had a frustrating first half, missing 9of 10 shots and collecting three fouls. He still had 10 points and nine rebounds Cousins produced a memorable third quarter, making a pairof3sand scoring 21 points to help the Kings take an 85-82 lead into the fourth. After Rondo missed two free throws, Bogdanovic hit a corner jumper to pull the Nets to within 111-109 with 1.8 seconds left. A

turnover on an inbounds play by Rondo gave Brooklyn the ball back. But he made amends by stealing a deflected inbounds pass to end the game. Kings forward Rudy Gay missed the game due to a stomach virus and key reserve Dar-

ren Collison missed his fourth straight game.
