Donald Trump is l ike a contagion who infects everyone around him. Once you' ve kissed, you can never wipe his salivaoffyour face.Consider the venerable (in its own view) NBC. This year, the network fired Trump, only to find it is Trump Lite. On June 16, when Trump was announcing his candidacy for the White House, the billionaire reality-TV star faulted Mexico for sending problem people to the United States. Quoth Trump: "They' re bringing drugs. They' re bringing crime. They' re rapists." Those comments were stupid and racist — and they should have caused Trump to tank in the p olls and ended

Instead, they cost Trump some must-miss NBC TV — the Miss USA and Miss Universe pageants. Also, he wouldn't appear on future episodes of "Celebrity Apprentice." "At NBC, respect and dignityfor allpeople are cornerstones of our values,"a statement explained. "Due to the recent derogatory statements by Donald Trump regarding immigrants, NBCUniversal is ending its business relationship with Mr. Trump." Trump responded that NBC was "weak" and trying to be "politically correct." That was before Trump's participation prompted recordnumbers of viewers to tune in to the GOP presidential debates. Then a funnything happened to "respect and dignity" at 30 Rock; they did not apply to "Saturday Night Live," on which Trump was invited toserveasa guesthost. Of course, the Congressional Hispanic Caucus protested. The Democratic group (there are no Republican members) called on "SNL" executive producer Lorne Michaels "to disinvite Mr. Trump from hosting Saturday Night Live because racism is not funny." Values, its statement added, "are more important than ratings and ad revenues." After the Trump episode aired on Nov. 7, NBC met with six members of the caucus and their aides. A Politico story on the meeting is the impetus for this column. It seems that NBC News President Deborah Turness intended to use the meeting to tout NBC's advances in newsroom diversity. Instead, she angered the group when she praised NBC's coverage of Pope Francis talking to a young girl who was afraid her parentswould be deportedbecause they are '%egals." "I'm going to stop you right there," Rep. Juan Vargas, D-Calif., reportedly responded. "We use the term undocumented immigrants." Turness apologized, Politico reported. She pushed her foot further into her mouth when she said: "We love the Hispanic community.... Yo hablo espanol." There's a term for that misstep. It is called Hispandering. On the one hand, I think a caucus member had a solid point in arguing that NBC probablywould nothave allowed Trump on "SNL" if he had uttered similar slurs about African-Americans or Jews. On the other hand, the caucus is being too precious taking umbrage at the word '%egals." Newspaper conventions limit the term's usage, but "illegal" is a short step from "undocumented." It's not "rapist." When GOP strategist Hector Barajas read the Politico story, he said that the first thing that popped into his mind was Ivy League students pushing their weight around with speech codes and superficial demands. It' s as if those kids have "graduated and become legislators." Because NBC brass did not pander gracefully, legislators bullied NBC, which had leaned on Trump, who trashed NBC but still came back for the curtain call. They are all infected. They preen about their principles, but it's all preening. Debra Saunders is a syndicated newspaper columnist who ~r7'tea about California

ie ousesee sa les' e WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House urged allies on Monday to do more in the campaign against the Islamic State, while President Barack Obama faced pressure in return to show the U.S.-led coalition will intensify efForts in response to the Paris attacks, even without a major shift in strategy. Requests for m ore counterintelligence, military and humanitarian assistance came a day before French President Francois Hollande was to arrive at the White House to discuss the fight against the extremists believed to be behind the Nov. 13 attacks that killed 130 people. Hollande, who next visits Russian President Vladimir Putin, is expectedto seek more coordinated military operations that would in-

elude both the U.S. and Moscow. Obama has shown no inclination to

rethink the U.S. strategy or significantly expand America's commitment, despite pressure from Hollande, Republican critics and some members of his own Democratic Party. However, Secretary of State John Kerry said in Abu Dhabi that both he and the president would like to see progress against the Islamic State"go faster." At the White House, spokesman Josh Earnest said the U.S. may step up efforts supporting strategies believed to be working — airstrikes and train-and-assist missions in Syria and Iraq — but he played down the possibility of any surge of new American resources into the fight. The U.S. is "pulling more than our

weight" in the coalition, Earnest said. "And we believe that there is more that can be done if countries are willing to contribute additional resources." Vice President Joe Biden sought those resources from allies at a meeting with ambassadorsfrom 59 ofthe65 countries in the coalition. The discussion focused on what more the countries could do to cut ofF financing for the Islamic State' s global network and how to stem the flow of fighters crossing into Syria and Iraq, the State Department said. Biden spoke separately Monday with Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi. The White House said Biden highlighted "ongoing U.S. efForts to mobilize increasedsupport for Iraq among the 65-member counter-ISIL coalition."

Listed below are safe disposal tips for fats, oils, and grease to help you avoid a plumbing emergency this holiday season:

NEWS NOTES STATE

Hiker killed in Sierra avalanche INDEPENDENCE Searchers have located the body of a missing graduate student killed in a n avalanche in the Sierra Nevada. Inyo County SherifF William Lutze says crews used sonar technology to find Michael David Meyers on Saturday in the John Muir Wilderness east of Fresno. Lutze says the 25-year-old sufFered massive injuries in the avalanche. The Los Angeles Times reports Meyers texted his roommate Nov. 5 to say he was going to Mount Russell in Inyo National Forest. The area, where avalanches are common, was slammed by a winter-like storm.

A search began Nov. 18 after someone found Meyers' car. Officials say Meyers, who studied physics at UCLA, was an experienced climber who left a detailed itinerary for his solo trip — which helped authorities locate the body.

NATION

U.S. travel warning issued after attacks WASHINGTON — Americans should be alert to the possible travel risks, especially during the holidays, following increased terrorist threats around the world, the State Department warned on Monday. A travel alert, which is to be in effect until Feb. 24, said current information suggests that militants with the Islamic State, al-Qaida, Boko Haram and other terrorist groups continue to plan attacks in multiple regions. U.S. authorities said the likelihood of terror attacks will continue as members of IS return from Syria and Iraq, and other individuals not affiliated with terror groups engage in violence on their own. Extremists have targeted sporting events, theaters, open markets and aviation targets. In the pastyear,there have been multiple attacks in France, Nigeria, Denmark, Lebanon, Turkey and Mali.IS has claimed responsibility for the Oct. 31 bombing of a Russian airliner in Egypt, killing 224 people. The State D epartment said the U.S. is exchanging information with allies about threatsof international terrorism.

Street cleaner finds explosive vest PARIS — A street cleaner on Monday found an explosive vest similar to those used in the Paris attacks near the place where a fugitive suspect's cellphone was found, raising the possibility that he aborted his mission, either ditching a m a lfunctioning

vest or fleeing in fear. Authoritie s said the device, which did not have a detonator, was found in a pile of rubble in the southern Paris suburb of Montrouge. A police official said the vest contained bolts and the same type of explosive used in the Nov. 13 Paris attacks that claimed 130 lives and le hundreds wounded. It was found in the same area where a cellphone belonging to fugitive suspect Salah Abdeslam was pinpointedby GPS on the day of the Paris attacks, two police officials said. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the investigation. Police have been conducting a manhunt for Abdeslam, who was stopped by police afterthe attacks but let go and allowed to travel on to Belgium. Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel, meanwhile, announced Brussels would remain at the highest alert level for at least another week, maintaining security measures that have severely disrupted normal life in the Belgian capital since the weekend. — The Associated Press

Continued from Page Al Shortly before the girl' s 18th birthday, she received a text message &om a number she didn't know threatening to tell law enforcement about her relationship with Clikon. The unknown person used blackmail and extortion to convince the girl to send child pornography of herself, as well as nude photos and videos ofher 8-year-old sister. When she refused, the person threatened to kidnap and rape her little sister while she was forced to watch. In October 2014, the girl told Tuolumne County Sheriff's Detective Brandon Lowry about the threats and her relationship wit h C l i fton. Through the investigation, Lowry determined Clifton was actually the unknown p erson sending th e g i r l threatening text messages. Investigators discovered more than 19,000 images of child pornography on Clifton's computer upon serving a search warrant on his home and workplace. Some of the victims in the images appeared to be as young as 5 years old, according to the District Attorney's Office. "When Detective Lowry presented the investi gative reports of this case to me, I found it to be one of the most egregious and offensive cases I had ever reviewed as a prosecutor," Krieg said in a written statement. "I also felt that it transcended beyond a case of child molestation and child pornography." A law passed by the California State Assembly in 2005 added human trafficking as an offense in the state penal code. Krieg reviewed the case and determined Clikon's crimes fit. "The other provision of that law provides that any person who violates another's personal liberty with the intent to eff ect a violation ofa specific crime, including child pornography and extortion, is guilty of trafficking," she said.

Listed below are safe disposal tips of waste fats, oil and grease to help avoid a plumbing emergency: • Avoid pouring fatsor vegetable cooking oils down the drain, because liquid fats solidify in the pipes and create clogs. • After grease has cooled, scrape itgrease into a container with a tight fitting lid. Solidify in the refrigeratorbefore putting it in the trash. • Never put hard-to-grind items in your garbage disposal, including poultry skins, egg shells, carrots, celery, pumpkin pulp, potato skins, banana peels or pasta.

While Brand New Potatoes alla Savonesa isn't a potato salad in the classic American "more mayonnaise, please" sort of way, it' s one of my greatsidedishes perfectforcooking the extra potatoes le over &om your Thanksgiving grocery list. The bestpart about this recipe, courtesy of "Molto Batali," is that it's equally delicious served warm, hot, cool or at room temperature depending on your mood and menu post-Thanksgiving. This year, I' ll be serving this potato salad room temp alongside a second batch of sweet candied yama with toasty marshmallows. The boldly green dressing that soaks in while the potatoes are still warm is the key here. Tart white wine vinegar becomes one with basil, parsley, capers and scallions, giving the potatoes a sharp, oniony bite. The briny capers contribute just enough salt, and in every misshapen nook of the warmed potatoes you can be sure to find melted shavings of pecorino sardo. Pecorino sardo, also known as fiore sardo, is a raw, firm cheese &om the Italian island of Sardinia. This cheese has had quite the journey since its origination in the Bronze Age. In 1996, it was awarded DOP status (Denominazione di Origine Protetta, or Protected Designation of Origin) for its milk being sourced &om a single flock of a local Sardinian breed. Today, a blending of sheep's milk and cow's milk is used to prepare the cheese. After a total aging of six months, pecorino sardo has a natural, golden-yellow to dark brown rindand a sour,damp smell.Upon slicing, its rich flavor is that of caramel sweetness, a salty tang and a hint of &uit. Depending on the length of maturation, the spiciness will intensify. A younger pecorino sardo pairs well with respectively young red wines, such as Cannonau diSardegna,while am atured cheese is best served with Malvasia di Bosa or Moscato di Sorso Sennori. However you serve it,this dish belongs in your postThanksgiving spread. Trust me ... you' ll be beyond thankful you took my advice. RECIPE ON PAGE B8: Brand New Potatoes Alla Savonesa

Dried fruit, cinnamon jazz Up traditional rolls By CATHY POLLAK Tribune Content Agency

Since Thanksgiving has so many savory dishes, I am always looking to add a littlemore sweetness to the meal. I often add dried fruit to the stuffing, so I thought maybe I would try adding it to dinner rolls the next day. It's always fun to change things up a bit. I did not want the rolls to be overly sweet, so I added a little bit of cinnamon and only a half cup of d ried cranberries to m y r e g ular dinner rolls recipe. The slight hint of cinnamon and a bite of dried cranberry smothered in butter is the perfect way to round out a meal.

This green bean recipe is impressive-looking but simple to make. The bundles make a wonderful addition to a holidaytable or a fun presentation to liven up any dinner party menu.

Green bean bundles tied with scallions and red bell pepper are a colorful addition to the holiday table.

Bring 1 inch of water to a boil in a large pan fitted with a steamer basket. Steam green beans and bell pepper until tender-crisp, 3 to

5 minutes. Trim whites off scallions and place the greens on the vegetables in the steamer during the last minute of cooking to soften. Transfer the vegetables to a large plate. Divide the beans into 8 portions (10 to 14 beans each). To make a bundle, lay a scallion green on your work surface and place 1 portion of beans and 3 pieces bell pepper across it. Wrap the scallion green around the vegetables and tie a knot to secure the bundle. Transfer to a serving platter. Repeat with the remaining vegetables. Melt butter in a small skillet over medium heat; smash garlic flat, add to the pan and cook, swirling often, until the butter is nutty brown, 2 to 4 minutes. Discard the garlic. Stir in oil. Serve the bundles drizzled with the butter/oil and sprinkled with salt and pepper. To make ahead: Keep assembled bundles warm in a 225 F oven for up to 15 minutes; brown the butter (Step 3) and hold until ready to serve. Reheat if necessary.

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 Ouniondemocrat.corn

I just want ED out.— OLD AND ~P DEAR TRAPPED: Your husband may not want out. He may simply want to sit on the sofa while you do all the work. And you are doing it, so he sees no reason to change. You have some options: You can stop doing the cleaning and l a undry for him, letting his clothes pile upand his food remain uncooked; you can look into hiring help; you can get counseling you can seeklegalcounsel and leave, with or without a divorce. If your

DEAR ANNIE: A ker r e ading the letter from "Need Some Relief," I thought I'd share how our family handles Christmas with four adult children and their spouses, 13 grandchildren and 3 great-grandchildren (and an occasional visiting in-law). Dinner is at our house every year. Everyone participates by graciously bringing a dish. One son's family prepares the turkey, with mashed potatoes and gravy. Another brings all the drinks. We cranberry sauce and prepare sweetpotatoes.Othersbring apple and pumpkin pica. Traditional! We discuss dishes in advance, so there are no duplicates. It is such fun and each family feels good about sharing. New recipes are exchanged. We also decided to forego gift-giving and do a $5 Christmas exchange. We all sit in a circle holding our "special

stung,

number," anxiously awaiting our turn

to pick the wrapped gift of our choice. Even the little ones screamed with delight, not at the gift, but because everyone was laughing and clapping. What a joyous occasion. Last, but not least, I insist on a group picture with everyone holding up theirprized possessions.There is always a huge smile on each face. Because in the end it is being together that really matters. — HAPPY IN FLORIDA DEAR HAPPY: Your letter is refreshing. This is what holidays are all about. Or should be.

Some cancer tests more trustworthy than others DEAR DR. ROACKI am an 85-yearoldmale in pretty goodhealth.Irecently had a stool test by the Veterans AQ'airs hospital. They came back and stated that I had blood in my stool, which indicates colon cancer, and that I should have a colonoscopy ASAP. My insurance company provided me with some eight possible signsand symptoms to consider.I had none, and no family history. I consulted my very qualified primary physician. For the past 15 years, I have had a colonoscopy every five years. The last was in 2010. My results were always "A-OK," with always one small polyp in the same place. I had a ColoVantage (methylated Septin 9) test. The interpretation came back as negative. My physician informed me that the negative ColoVantage blood testwas a good result.Hebelieved there was no furtherneedforacolonoscopy.May I have your opinion? —S.M. ANSWER: When two tests have completely difFerent results, a wise physician, like your well-qualified primary physician, looks at the test characteristics. Fm sure he found that the ColoVantage test,

We are in our mid-70s, and I am still doing all of the work inside this large five-bedroom house. He refuses to help with anything. He lies on the sofa and channel surfs while I do everything.

To YOUI'

Good Health Keith Roach, M.D. a blood test looking for an abnormal gene associated with colon and other cancers, has a high likelihood ofbeing correct when it says there is no abnormal gene present, and he knows that the fecal blood test has many l fa se-positiveresults. I have the luxury of taking things one stepfurther,and Iperformed a formal decision analysis(based on Bayes'theorem) using your likelihood of having colon cancer based on being an 85-yearold man,the results of your positive stoolblood test and theresults ofyour negative methylated Septin 9 test. Putting all the information together, I find you have a 0.4 percent chance ofhaving colon cancer. Since the risk of having an adverse event Rom a colonoscopy at

your age is about the same, I would recommend against getting a colonoscopy, as your physician did. The booklet on colon cancer provides useful information on the causes and cures of this common malady.

ROACH:I have noticed that three of my extended episodes with A. bfi in thepastfi veyearshavebeen after periods of reducedoxygen in my lungs. Two times I have had a head cold, and one time Iwasat9,000 feetelevation in Colorado. Isthereany possiblecorrelation between A. fib and oxygen deprivation? If this situation is logical, is it also logical that A. fib can be treated with oxygen in order to make the additional electrical impulses unnecessary? Has oxygen ever been used as atreatment for A. fib? —D.T. ANSWER: You are partly correct. Having low oxygen levels to the heart is indeedariskfactorfordevelopment ofatrial

ftbrillation. Lung disease, including sleep apnea, certainly increases risk. Although it makes sense that high altitudes would worsen existing A. ftb or increase its likelihood, that hasn't been proven. Treatment for atrial fibrillation can include reversing the underlying cause if possible, and although that isn't always possible, treating chronic lung disease is one way of doing so. If people have low oxygen levels in the blood (easily checked now in the oKce), then oxygen may indeed be auseful treatment.

However, colds do not affect oxygen levels in the blood, although a very severe pneumonia might. People with normal levels of oxygen in the blood don't need or beneftt from supplemental oxygen, even with atrial fibrillation.

Today in history Today is Tuesday, Nov. 24, the 328th day of 2015. There are 37 days left in the year. Today's Highlight in History:On Nov. 24, 1865, Mississippi became the first Southern state to enact laws which came to be known as "Black Codes" aimed at limiting the rights of newly freed blacks; other states of the former Confederacy soon followed. On this date: In 1859, British naturalist Charles Darwin published "On the Origin of Species," which explained his theory of evolution by means of natural selection. In 1944, during World War II, U.S. bombers based on Saipan attacked Tokyo in the first raid against the Japanese capital by landbased planes. ln 1963, Jack Ruby shot and mortally wounded Lee Harvey Oswald, the accused assassin of President John F. Kennedy, in a scene captured on live television. In 1971, a hijacker calling himself "Dan Cooper" (but who became popularly known as "D.B. Cooper" ) parachuted from a Northwest Orient Airlines 727 over the Pacific Northwest after receiving $200,000 dollars in ransom; his fate remains unknown. ln 1974, the bone fragments of a 3.2 million-yearold hominid were discovered by scientists in Ethiopia; the skeletal remains were nicknamed "Lucy." In 1985, the hijacking of an Egyptair jetliner parked on the ground in Malta ended violently as Egyptian commandos stormed the plane. Fifty-eight people died in the raid, in addition to two others killed by the hijackers. In 1995, voters in Ireland narrowly approved a constitutional amendment legalizing divorce.

I 1083 South barrels into six hearts, and West +AK6 leads a trump. What should declarer do? When South responds one heart, North reevaluates his hand, adding two points for his singleton. This makes his hand worth a gameScut W est N or t ast invitation. South would then head for a slam. (Anyone who uses the Losing Trick Count will note that the North hand has only five losers: 4NT one spade,two hearts,on e diamond and one 6V Pass Pas s Pas s club. That makes it worth a game-force. If North did evaluate that way, he should rebid four clubs, a splinter bid showing four-card Opening lead: V 10 heart support, a singleton or void in clubs, and at least game-going values.) A trump lead usually means there will be a 3-2 split. Assuming so, South starts with three spades, four hearts, one diamond, two clubs, and a club ruff in the dummy. He needs one more trick, which might come from a 3-3 spade split or a second diamond trick. Since playing diamonds requires guesswork (or, as here, is fatal), declarer should try spades first. So, he draws trumps and cashes the three top spades. When they split, he discards a diamond on the last spade. If spades are 4-2 or worse, South should twice leaddiamonds toward the dummy and hope he can guess which honor is held by West.

Patriots improve to 10-0, deat Bills 20-13 FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — Tom Brady called out Rex Ryan and then he beat the Bills — again. After shouting the name of the Buffalo coach as an audible, Brady led New England to a 20-13 victory over the Bills on Monday night and kept the defending Super Bowl champions on course for their second perfectregular season in

nine years. Brady completed20 of 39 passes for 277 yards, hitting James White for a 20-yard score that was the first touchdown of the running back's career. White added a 6-yard run in the third quarter to give New England (10-0) the lead for good. Brady even took a dig at the Buffalo coach, lining up under center in the first

quarter and shouting "Rex Ryani Rex Ryan!" Asked if there was a message in it, Brady struggled to suppress a smile. Ryan was less troubled about any personal slight than losing to his longtime nemesis for the 11th time in 15 games.

"I don't even know how to talk about the Sonora crowd," said Wildcat head coach Kim Evans. They are just amazing. If we' re at home or we travel an hour away or go to Orange County, we have a huge group of supporters." Kelsie Evans started her kill parade in the scend game. She started with a pair of kills and ended the set with three kills in the last five points and also had a block in that span. Hilmm jumped out to a 7-4 lead after two Sonora hitting errors and a pair of bad serves. But a Grace Hernandez kill got Riley Henington to the service line and she went on a roll. A pairoftough servesled to two points and then she came up with consecutive aces to give the Wildcats a 10-8 lead. Evans finished tied for match-high honors in kills with 16.

Warriors

Del Rio's concerns go beyond non-challenge for Raiders

look for record to

ALAMEDA (AP) — Oakland coach Jack Del Rio defended his decision not to challenge a play that might have helped sustain a drive by the Raiders' sputtering offense in the s~nd quarter

OAKLAND (AP) — Anyone who thought the Golden State Warriors would be content after winning one NBA title was sadly mistaken. With Stephen Curry h itting 3-pointers at a record-setting pace and the rest of his teammates playing with a high level of i n t ensity and focus, the Warriors have tied the NBA record with 15

+ ~g>~o

straight wins to open the season. Somehow, they h ave found a way to improve following a season when they won 67 games and rolled through the playoffs without ever being taken to a

seventh game. "We' re trying to win another championship," Draymond Green said. 'That' s what we' re fueled by. We've gotten greedy, but a good greedy. It's way better to be greyly for success than hungover on success. We're on the right end of the spectrum, which is great."

Denver in the AFC West and losing ground in the chase for the secondwild-card spot. Now the Raiders have to prepare for a road game in Tennessee where they' ve won just once in six tries.

'There are times where you hit these patches, and that' s life," Raiders quarterback Derek Carr said following the loss to the Lions. 'That's this league and that's football. But there's no doubt in our mind what we' re capable of. If there was, then there'd be a problem." Figuring out what's ailing gains to turn into backbreak- the Raiders could take some ing plays, to an offense that time. has scored just three touchAfter averaging more than downs inits past 20 drives, 26 points through the first the Raiders have looked more eight games, Oakland's offense like a team than has missed has managed just 27 points tothe playoffsfor 12 consecutive tal in the past two games. seasons than the team that got Wide receiver Amari Cooper off to such a quick start this — who is leading all rookies in season. catches and receiving yardage 'You are what you earn, — has seeminglydisappeared right?"

"We' ve got territory — four games behind to do abetter job ofmaking of Sunday's loss to the Detroit Lions. Of more concern to Del Rio is a three-game losing streak that has dropped his team to 4-6 and taken much of the shine off what began as a promising season. From a defense that has become prone to allowing small

sure our top playmakers are involved and coming out of that game I feel like we didn' t do agood enough job as a staff getting him involved." The Raiders also are uncertain whether center Rodney

Hudson will be available this week. Hudson returned to the starting lineup against Detroit after sitting out the previous week with a sprained right ankle, but he left in the third quarter after appearing to aggravate the injury. Defensively the R aiders have bigger issues to tacklesuch as tackling. Several times Oakland's defense appeared to have the Lionsstopped for shortgains, only to see Detroit players breaking tackles, escaping coverage and sprinting downfield. Two of the Lions' longest gains of the day — a 36-yard catch by Calvin Johnson and an 18-yard reception by Joique Bell — came on third-down plays. "Some of the easy football we need to keep easy," Del Rio said. "Some of the plays that are not really diScult to defend, we' ve got to get those plays defended better now. We' re 10 weeks into this thing. You can'tplay great defense if you have giveaways, if you have gifts that you give your opponent. It's imperative that we close that down, that we

get that rectified ASAP." As for the play to wide receiver Michael Crabtree in the second quarter, Del Rio stood firm on his dmsion not to throw the red challenge Hag. Crabtree caught the pass &om Derek Carr, got both feet inbounds then took three steps outbefore the ballcame outof his hand near the turf. The pass was ruled incomplete on the field, but former NFL official Mike Carey said during the TV broadcast that the play should have been overturned. "I think we could do the 100 people in the bar test and there'dbe 99 if not 100 percent (who) would say that's a catch," Del Rio said. 'Frustrating, but that's what it is."

Tomsula surprised by 49ers'tentative play SANTA CLARA (AP)Jim Tomsula studied the film from the 49ers' lopsided loss to the rival Seattle Seahawks and saw a tentative team, one trying not to make mistakes. "I got the feeling again watching the tape, I use the term, 'don't play not to make a mistake, don't tackle being a&aid to miss the tackle, be more attacking,"' he said. "I

felt that's where our problems were. We weren' t, 'Go get 'em."' The 49ers (3-7) made tackling miscues and surrendered 508 yards and 28 first downs in the29-13 loss atSeattle on Sunday. San Francisco also gave up 209 yards rushing to a little-known rookie running back named Thomas Rawls, who shined on a day Marshawn Lynch sat out with an abdominal injury. "I know who he is now," safety Eric Reid said Monday. So,notbeing aggressive for the typically stout San Francisco defense? That's such a strange phenomenon at this

stage of the season, when the team was &esh following its bye week, and in a league that thriveson thatstyleofplay. Reid said when he learned Lynch wouldn't play, he immediately gave the49ers'defense an "advantage." Hehardly figured Rawls would beat them. Let alone dominate them. "We did a poor job," Reid said. "It just comes down to execution. It'splain asday to see when you don't execute what you' re supposed to do as a player, the game kind of gets away &om you. When you hear that Marshawn is down, the immediate thought is, We have the advantage here,' so in my own mind I'm t~ g we m ake them onedimensional."

T he Warriors have a

chance to break the record they currently share with the 1948-49 Washington Capitols and 1993-94 Houston Rockets when they host the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesdaynight. After downplaying the chase ofthe record at the start of the season, Golden Statehas embraced it. "Now that

w e' re here

and have tied the record, it' s a huge accomplishment," Curry said. "You never know

if you'll ever be in this posi-

tion again. We have a great group and to be able to be in position to do something that hasn't been done in the history of the NBA with all the great teams and all the great players who have played in this league, that's special." The only team standing in their way is the Lakers, who have the s~nd-worst record in the NBA with just two wins in 13 games. Lakers coach Byron Scott said the Warriors are the best team he's seen in a while and star guard Kobe Bryant said stranger ~ have happened than a team playing as poorly as the Lakers beating one as dominant as the Warriors. "We might go up there and we might play like gangbusters up there," Bryant said Sunday in Los Angeles. "You never know." The Warriors have gotten to this point with the help of a late game-tying 3-pointer to force overtime in a home win against Brooklyn, a comeback &om 23 points down to beat the Los Angeles Clippers and plenty of blowouts. They have outscored the opposition by 14.4 points per game, the most at this point of the season since the 199697 Chicago Bulls followed up their record 72-win campaign by outscoring their first 15 opponents by 16.5 points on the way to a 14-1 start the following year. "They' ve just been consistent," said LeBron James, who lost to Golden State in the finals last season."Think the most impressive thing is the way they' ve been playing at a high level for so long. I think it comes with a lot of health. They' ve been healthy. They' ve been the most healthy team I' ve ever seen in NBA history and theyhave great talent. Those guys all play for one common goal and that's to win and that's all that matters." Golden State has the depth to overcome whatever injuries the Warriors have had. Starting center Andrew Bogut missed six games with a concussion,

guard Klay Thompson has been dealing with a stiff back that forced him to miss one game and key reserve guards Shaun Livingston and Leandro Barbosa have also missed time.

Gordon finishes 6th in final NASCAR race HOMESTEAD, Fla. (AP) — Jeff Gordon climbed out of his race car and stepped into the waiting arms of team owner Rick Hendrick. They shared a long embrace and some words of encouragement. Gordon then kissed his wife and hugged his two kids beforegetting mobbed by fans.Someone in the crowd screamed 'Vou're still the man!" Just not the champion. Gordon failed to add a fairytale finish to his storied career Sunday, finishing sixth in the NASCAR season finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway.

'Tm a little disappointed we weren' t more of a threat in the championship," said Gordon, a four-time champion who last won it all in 2001. "Beyond that, it' s absolutely been a dream come true." Kyle Busch won the race and his first Sprint Cup championship. Kevin Harvick finished second in the Chase playofFs, followed byGordon and Martin Truex Jr. Those four were the only ones remaining in the hunt for the championship. "I knew when those guys got by me, I just didn't have what they had," Gordon said about Busch and Harvick. Busch, who missed the first 11 races

after breaking his right leg and leg foot, was the comeback kid. Harvick was the defending Sprint Cup series champion. Truex wasthe underdog driving for a small team. Gordon was the overwhelming sentimental favorite. It showed before, during and after the race. Hendrick Motors ports teammates DaleEarnhardt Jr.,Jimmie Johnson and Kasey Kahne as well as fellow drivers Danica Patrick and Kyle Larson wore Gordon tribute hats before the finale. Patrick wore one with old-school "rainbow warriors" colors.
