What was meant to be a day of giving thanks turned into something much different for Melissa Schultz. The 78-year-old Sonora resident said multiple sentimental jewelry pieces were stolen from her East Walnut Drive home on Thursday. S chultz went t o h er daughter, Tammy Durand's, home about 12:30 p.m. that day. She returned about 7:30 p.m. and noticed a half hour later that items were missing from her bedroom. "I went into my bedroom to get my pajamas and there was a couple of crushed up tissue papers on the floor and I thought, 'How did that get there?' " Schultz said.

Even now, the lost shall still be found It'sabout as trite a story as you can get: Last week, I lost my phone on the bus here in my burg,New York City.Before I even realized it was missing, I sat down at my computer andfound emails from my family: "Call a lady named Grace. She has your phone." S he d i d

her, taken it with her to work and reached the "favorites" on my contact list. Soon I was at the United Basket factory, asking for Grace Chen, who cheerfully handed me my Android,adamantly refused a reward and hurried back to her job. Which reminded me that a couple of months ago when I lost my wallet, another niceyoung woman had done the same thing. Could it be that this is the way of the world? Finders are not keepers? I started asking around. "I got a message that said, 'I found your phone. Please call me,'" recalls Natalie Yates, co-founder of the digital agency Blue Iceberg in Manhattan. She did. It was a taxi driver all the way out in the suburbs. "He'd just gotten off his shift, found the phone, and he said that once his wife got home, she could take care of the kids and he could drive back in with his truck to bring me my phone." Drive it in? After his shift? "I can survive without my phone for a night!" Natalie told him. To which he replied with a laugh. "A lot of people can' t," he said. Instead, they arranged for him to drop it off the next day, whereupon he told Natalie that he always returns things, including, one time, $10,000 that had been left in his cab. For that good deed, he got a $20 tip. Natalie gave him $30. For her finding efforts, performer Laurie Gamache got some lovely wine. "I used to live in a little basement studio on West 96th Street," said Laurie. "I was getting ready to go on the road with 'A Chorus Line,' and so I was cleaning out the place." In a crack in the plaster of her fireplace, she found a class ring. The year on the ring was 1980-something, and this was still in the '80s. There was a name engraved, too. Laurie put it in a box in her desk drawer, intendi ng to tr y t o f in d th e owner. But t hen i t

slipped her mind. "By the time I got back — years laterI forgotall about it, " she explained. But when she was preparing for a move, she cleaned out her desk and opened a little box she found. Oh, yes! The ring! How to find its owner? Well, in the intervening years, a device had been invented to do just that: the Internet. Laurie instantly found the owner online — an upstate judge — and sent it back to her. The judge's husband runs a winery, so the exchange concluded with a drinkable reward, nicely aged. Just like the ring. Dana Rubin, CEO at Rubin&Co, an executive communications and content creationcompany, came home one night and was devastated to find her apartment had been ransacked. What pained her most was the loss of a bag of jewelry, including sentimental pieces given to her by her parents. About a yearlater,she called an organization to come pick up some furniture she was donating. As the workers lifted up her mattress ... there was the jewelry bag. She'd hidden it there for safekeeping. Said Dana, "I'd been sleeping on it all year." In a world of good people and eureka moments, there seems to be only one other way to guarantee finding a lost and precious item, at least according to my sisterin-law: Go online and shop for the lost item. Press "Purchase." Look up. There it is. I enoreSkenazy isauthor of the book and blog "Free-Range Kids" and a keynote speaker atconferences, companies and

Struggle to find balance a noble one With images of the carnage in Paris and the shuttering of Brussels flashing on every screen,it is hard to take to heart the president's urgings not to give in to fear. A global terror alert does not help. The front-page pictures of all the homegrown terrorists make it harder still. How could these young men have grown up among us, as Americans, and be full of such hatred that they would choose, as we are being warned, targets where they can kill as many people as possible? I remind my students, when we talk of such things, that 99.9 percent of the Muslims in the world do not belong to ISIS or al-gaida, that they are part of communities all over our country, living and working beside us. If violence that they also deplore is infecting their young people, then it is a curse that they have every bit as much interest in wiping out as we do. If they are not always as vocal as we on the

outside would like, it may be because their fear is even greater than ours. I know, easier said than done. If there are twosecuritylines at the airport,and one has young men who appear to be Muslim in it and the other has a couple of white guys in suits, which line do you choose? Is it racist to want to get to your gate faster? Of course, no one will say that Muslimlooking men are subject to enhanced scrutiny, just like no police department will ever admit that they engage in racial profiling. But if you survey your friends and neighbors about who has been stopped by police, as I do with my students every year, I' ll bet you dollars to donuts that you' ll find that gender matters and age matters and yes, race matters, maybe the most of all. Every year, my white female students have the class laughing at stories of outrageous behavior that resulted, at most, in warnings. My black students, meanwhile, have stories of police officers instructing them, "Keep them at 10 and two. Hands

YOUR VIEWS Belated butsincerethanks To the Editor: What a waste of 300 words. I could be talking about important things such as our need to haveMedicare for allAmericans -cradle to grave. We should be discussing taking the one trillion dollars a year we waste on big insurance and pharmaceutical company costs and profits and actually using our money to take careof sick people and better care of our Veterans. But no, someone has to challenge the deafening cacophony of hate and liesfrom the tea baggers -so Iwaste my precious few words on combating the spread of stupidity. Republicans have proven for decades that they know how to win elections, they just don't have a clue how to govern. America cannot be great again, with the only platform the teapublicans have to use in their campaigns

they gain 2700 times their original weight in a stage that lasts only 9-14 days. A monarch caterpillar can eat an entire milkweed leaf in less than five minutes. Twelve hours before shedding its skin for the last time, the colorful, fat caterpillar spins a silk thread to hang on. After wiggling upside down — like Houdini in a straitjacket— the outer skin hardens into a protective chrysalis. Two weeks later, the black-orange-andwhite magnificent monarch butterfly emerges. For us, the colorfulpattern isbeautiful, but it warns predators to steerclear of a foul-tasting and poisonous meal. M ilkweed i s t h e b e st

Livestock note: milkweed is bitter-flavored, unpalatable, and range animals generally avoid eating it when sufficient forage is available. Depression and diarrhea are the main signs of milkweed poi s oning. You do not want hungry animals c o ncentrated in abundant milkweed areas. Milkweed is not in the 1 0 m ost commonly diagnosed plant poisonings of l ivestock in California. Don't feed animals hay containing large amounts of milkweed.

Tentative plans are also being made for live music to be performed beginning at 2 p.m. A DVD of winter scenes in Tuolumne, photographed andset to music by local photographer David Wheat, will be shown continuously throughout the afternoon as well as during regular museum hours the following two weekends. Visitors to the museum during December will also be able to enter a drawing for a chance to win a framed original photographic print of snowfall on bright red nandina berries by Lynne Jerome. The museum's gift shop will be open with a variety of Christmas giving ideas on display. The Tuolumne City Museum is at the corner of Carter and Bay streets in Tuolumne. Regular hours are weekends from 1 to 4 p.m. The museum will be closed both weekends following Christmas and New Year's to allow docents to

The Marty Gerbasi and Beverl y Handelman home Marty Gerbasi and Beverly Handelman, with local contractor John Feriani, designed and built their home in 1995-96. They wanted a layout that was open, bright, warm, welcoming and comfortable for them and for entertaining their guests. The open-concept dining and living room features furniture pieces that are family heirlooms and other antiques, and an exten-

sive array of Mickey Mouse and other Disney characters, Christmas decorations, wall art, sculpturesand other artifactscollected over manyyears.Armani, Lladro, Waterfordand many famous Disney artists created many of the items on display. Also notice the couple's other character interest, Snoopy, and other Peanuts characters.

Observe the upper fireplace mantelpiece and the Craftsman style display cabinet designed and built by Marty. Also note the custom Christmas tree skirt, and model train under the treewhich was a Christmas gift from his parents in 1942. Proceed through the French doors to the guest suite, with two guest bedrooms and a bath. In the fi rstbedroom, the bed and sidetables were designed and built by Marty. In the home's masterbedroom and bath, custom-made lamps can be seen on the bedside tables. Through another set of French doors is the couple's home office, with additional pieces of the Mickey

Mouse collection and a gallery of family photographs and other mementos.

A banquette eating area is in the kitchen and beyond that is the screened-in porch, which is alive with potted plants of various textures and colors during

the spring, summer and fall. Continue on to the garage to view another passion of the homeowners — two classic cars.

Here you' llfi nd a 1955 Ford Thunderbird they have owned since 1986 and a 1955 Chevrolet Nomad acquired in 2007.

The Ted andNancyMichaud home When Ted and Nancy moved into their home in Sonora 10 years ago, they began "reshaping" the house to fit their style of living. They removed a few walls to create a more open floor plan and to invite the outside in. As you walk through, you will see that each room has its own angular shape and view. It is a home they both love to be in and to enjoy with family and friends. You will notice a mix of furniture — their own, their parents, and their grandparents. Things they cherish. In fact, N ancy's 100-year-old aunt calls one bedroom the "vintage room," because it has Nancy's grandparents'bedroom set,a vintage quilt and photos of both of their families from days gone by. In the living room is the old Philco radio, which Nancy used to peek behind to see where those "little people who talked" lived. And her grandfather's trunk brought from Italy in 1892 can be seen in the dining room. In the kitchen above the sink are the rolling pins her grandmother used for making ravioli, as well as a stained glass window that Ted's uncle made for his mother's home. Ted and Nancy are attracted by folk and ethnic art and have paintings and objects from their travelsand gifts from friends and artists they have known. Displayed throughout the home are potteryand ceramics not only from the USA but from Spain, Italy, Portugal and Brazil, alebrijes (animal carvings) from Mexico, molas from Panama, ocarinas from Chile, peasant paintingsfrom Cuba and the Shanghai School of Art. In addition, there are many photographs. Note especially the photos in the hallway taken by Nancy's father during World War II in Alaska and the Yukon. In honor of the Christmas

season,a large nativity scene from Italy is on display as well as two small clay creches from the Southwest — one representing the Navajo people, the other the Pueblo. The bedroom/computer room is Ted's special hideout, where he keeps himself organized, busy and out of trouble. The upstairs loft is Nancy's workroom for all her family projects, genealogy work and sewing. She is cozy up here with many sentimental things surrounding her. "Thisisa perfectplace for the two of us ... the house itself, the side yard under the willow and fruit trees, the immediate backyard and down the path to our swing and small viewing area. We are surrounded by things we love, family memories and nature."

The Connie O'Connor and Michael Gahagan home The name 'Yonderhill" comes from partofa poem, discovered in 2001 when the project to build this home began. "The thing you may have looked for all of your life, may lie just beyond that Hill, Yonder." Situatedon 11 acres close to the historic township of Columbia, "Yonderhill e has fulfilled the imaginations and dreams of both Connie O' Connor and husband, Michael Gahagan. It is a space created to house and enjoy the m any and varied refl ections of both their individual and collective multiple careers.

Their love of art, books, antiques, history, cultural expression is evident in the multilayered arrangement of the interior and exterior spaces. The "barn," as they and family and friendsaffectionately refer to it, is a space that is always changing, yet always the same. "The home was designed for entertainment — for both intimate and large gatherings," which happen quiteoften, remarked Connie. An "apartment" anchors one end and is fully self-contained with sitting/dining area, kitchen/ pantry,bedroom/closets,and a propane "fireplace"that serves as

a heaterfor the 900 square feet. Note the antique folding "in the wall" ironing board. Double doors of heart redwood from BigSur carved by Connie's mother for their Carmel family home in 1950 separate the apartment from the main house. Irish flagsofKerry and Westmeath counties, ancestral homes of Connie andMichael,can be seen flyinghigh overhead in baro-

nial hall fashion when entering the extended space beyond the double doors. A 16-foot-long 1862 "Indiana Farm Table" runs the length of the interior middle nave and is thecenterpiece ofthe space. "Rooms" arecreated by the placement of large pieces of furniture. Many differentnooks and crannies house a living room area, a library/den including extra beds for visiting children and grandchildren, and two separate offices. Connie's auxiliary Tuolumne County Arts Alliance home office overlooks the garden. Another office displays many of Michael's pieces used when he was the owner, publisher, editor of the Point Reyes Light newspaper in the 1970s. His other office, in the loft, is the publishing center for his current enterprise, "The Yosemite Gazette." Other "living rooms" have been created outside and serve family and guests during the milder times of the year. Lots of innovations and creativity have played a role in the design and livability of the entire space. Tiny-house concepts

abound, as well as examples of an Irish Manor House on the Hill, Yonder.

The KnopfHome (The Mountain Villa) The stunning natural beauty of the wooded knoll-top site inspired the design of the Knopf Estate. Standing together on the granite knoll, Kerm and Carrie Knopf dreamed of incorporating nature in a style reminiscent of a Frank Lloyd Wright home. Using John Boyd, a Palo Alto architect who worked with Eichlerfor many years and was an early designer of eco friendly buildings, they integrated the outside beauty into the design from top to bottom, and were mindful of the seasons. Winding up the stone walllined drive enhanced by native and exotic landscape, one may think of the wineries of Napa Valley. The wall stones were locally quarried by local craftsman Delphino Vasquez. On approach, the stone walls recede and the handsome stone facade, by Doug Lorimer, appears. Built in 1993, the main house and guesthouse total over 7,000 square feet — clad in stone,

redwood andcopper.Itis a series of octagons linked together villastyle around an artfully landscaped stone-wrapped mountain pool. A magnificent stone stair leads to the entrance, flanked by full

logs from New Mexico. Entering through 8.5-foot carved doors, guests are struck by the white plasterinterior,natural wood beams and cathedral ceilings, and aunique fi replace designed by the Knopfs. The floors are Mexican tile laid by a local tile artisan — notice the way they enhance the octagonal layout of the Great Room. The Great Room can accommodate

large numbers, but retains a cozy and conversational atmosphere for smaller gatherings. The dining room seats 10 or 12 comfortably, and the kitchen is outfitted with everything the gourmet chef could ever want.

The house abounds with custom details by local craftsmen. The unpainted plaster walls were hand finished in a two-step process by Vasquez and crew. The master bathroom and the glass bottle window are also notable details one shouldn't miss. Beyond the inviting pool and gardens in the center of the compound, you' ll see the "Barn," which sports beds for eight in its bunkhouse. In days past, the barn hosted the Wild West Film Festival wrap-up dinner (150 people) for three years running. AAUW is an acronym for American Association of University Women, which was founded in 1881. Membership in AAUW is open to anyone (including men) holding an associate or equivalent orbaccalaureate or

higher degree from a regionally accredited college or university. Its mission is to break through educational and economic barriers so that all women have a fair chance. The AAUW Sonora Branch was charteredin 1961. In addition to working onthe home tour and other, smaller fundraisers during the year, the branch holds monthly meetings on the third Thursdays, which are open to the public. The group's theme for 201516 is "Women in Charge in Tuolumne County," and guest speakers will include the county's chief probation officer, the superintendent of schools, the Sonora City fire chief and the district attorney — all women in charge in Tuolumne County. Members also get together in various interest groups, such as book and bridge groups, dining and theatre groups, bocce ball and nature walk groups, and many more.

Today in history Today is Saturday, Nov. 28, the 332nd day of 2015. There are 33 days left in the year. Today's Highlight in History:On Nov. 28, 1990, Margaret Thatcher resigned as British prime minister during an audience with Queen Elizabeth II, who then conferred the premiership on John Major. On this date: In 1861, the Confederate Congress admitted Missouri as the 12th state of the Confederacy after Missouri's disputed secession from the Union. In 1905, Sinn Fein (shin fayn) vvas founded in Dublin. In 1922, Captain Cyril Turner of the Royal Air Force gave the first public skywriting exhibition, spelling out, "Hello USA.

'Stomach flu' is not an actual influenza virus DEAR DR. ROACH: With the flu season coming on, would you please discuss the difference between what people call the "stomach flu" and what the flu really is? I have two friends who last year said they weren't getting the flu shot anymore because despite having it, they got the flu. They each described several hours of throwing up, but feeling better the next day. I suggested that they probably had a gastrointestinal episode and not inQuenza, which is a respiratorydisease. They insisted that they had the flu, and they'd always learned that the stomach flu is influenza and the flu shot is meant to prevent it. Since then I' ve spoken

cough, sore throat and nasal discharge, just as there are with the common cold, but the sudden onset, fever (commonly 100 to 104 degrees) and muscle aches help distinguish cold from flu. Gastrointestinal symptoms — such as nausea, vomiting and diarrheaare less common in influenza, and

sore arm and sometimes mild fever and body aches after a flu shot. This is just partofthe body's reaction,and itgoes away by itself within 24 hours. There is a live influenza vaccine given by nasal spray, which also generally has mild side efFects. This may be given to adults under 50. The flu shot is not perfect: You still can get the flu after receiving the shot. However, the flu shot is effective at reducing the most serious cases of flu, such as influenza pneumonia, which can belife-threateningorfatal. DEAR DR ROACH:Can you please explain how an MRI machine affects the pigment in a tattoo? My &iend's MRI procedure was stopped because

to two others who believe the same

these symptoms in absence of the major

she was experiencing a burning sen-

thing. This seems to be a relatively prevalent belief.— G.C. ANSWER: You are right that there is much confusion about what influenza is. Influenza typically begins with suddenonsetoffever,headache,fatigueand severe body and muscle aches. Influenzaoccursabout twodaysafter exposure. There also often are symptoms of

manifestations listed above makes the diagnosis of flu very unlikely. In late fall through early spring, some diarrheal illnesses (mostly viral) are common, but you are correct that these are NOT influenza. The flu shot contains viral proteins, not live influenza, and it is incapable of causing the flu. Many people will have a

sation at her lower eyelids, which had previously been tattooed with black ink. Does this happen only with black ink? Which colors are safer? — J.H. ANSWER: Reactions between the ink in tattoos and MRI scanners are well-documented in the l iterature. Some inks — mostly black, red and brown — are made with iron or tita-

Safety tips It's almost Christmas tree time, and if you' re the type of person whose holidays don't start until t he tree is trimmed, the time has arrived to think about when and where to pick up

• Never place your tree near a fireplace, wall heater or other source of heat. • If there are string lights on a tree, make sure to turn them off at bedtime or when leaving the house. • If you have small children, be sure to trim from your tree any low branches or poky twigs that stick out to avoid injuries. Make sure small or breakable ornaments are hung high on the tree and out of reach. • Burning Christmas tree branches in your fireplace or wood stove is a no-no. Doing so can cause highly flammable creosote to build up in your chimney, posing a real fire and safety threat.

There are several questionsto ponder: Is it better to geta living, potted tree to plant in the spring or pick up a harvested tree from a lot? How long will a tree last if it's bought right after T hanksgiving? What a r e the tricks to making a tree last an entire month? Oregon State U n i ver-

son may break dormancy and try to grow. Then you put it back outside and you have this tender new foliage that's going to get zapped in the coldtemperatures. Realistically, to have a live Christmas tree in the home, you have about three days before the plant will potentially break dormancy. I k n o w m o s t p e ople would want to have it inside for longer, but ideally you would bring it in right before Christmas and have it stay in for three to five days at the most before you get it out to those cold temperatures again and it can return to dormancy. That' s the challenge with living Christmas trees, but it can be done. If you think you want to have a l ive tree, find the place in the landscape where your tree will go and dig a hole that the entire container will fit in. When Christmas is over, take the

tree outside and plop it in the ground in the container. The root system will be insulated because it's in the ground and protected as it acclimatesto the cold.Ifyou keep it above ground, without insulating the roots, it may not survive the winter. In the spring, you can take it out of the container and plant it properly in the hole. Q: What should people do with their trees after the holidays? Are there any uses for it in the garden? A: If you had a chippershredder, you could add it as a mulching material, but it wouldbe better to put it in the compost pile and let it break down. T he Fraser fir may be the most popular Christmas tree in North America, according to the National Christmas Tree A ssociation, but they are harder to find here in the Northwest. The Douglas fir , noble fi r and grand fir will be easier to find and all make fine holiday trees. These three varietiesaccount for 97 per-

cent of all Christmas trees grown here, according to the Pacific Northwest Christmas Tree Association. No matter what tree type you prefer, the hints and tips above should keep it lush and healthy so it lasts through the season. Whether you cut a tree yourself, buy onefrom a tree lotorgo with a living tree this year, now you arearmed with information. Let the tree hunt begin.

Harden scorn 50 in Rockets win HOUTSON (AP)James Harden had 50 points, nine rebounds and eight assists, and Houston beat winless Philadelphia. Harden was 14 for 28 from the field and 16 for 20 at the line in his third career game with 50 or more points. He is averaging 36.2 points in his last five games. Philadelphia moved one loss away from matching the New Jersey Nets' NBAworst mark of 18 losses to open a season. The Sixers have dropped 27 in a row dating to last season for the longest losing streak in major U.S. professional sports history, passing the NFL's Tampa Bay Buccaneers from 1976 to '77. The previous record was also matched by the 76ers in 2013-14.

LeBron leads Cleveland past Charlotte 95-90 CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — LeBron James had 25 points and 13 rebounds for Cleveland, extending his personal run of dominance against Charlotte. James' teams have won 23 straight games against franchises based in Charlotte — both the Hornets and Bobcats. He played in all but two of those. Kevin Love had a double-double at halftime and finished with 18 points and 16 rebounds as the Cavaliers snapped Charlotte's sevengame home winning

He became the 16th coach in Division I history to reach that milestone in his 31st season. Only six coaches have done it in fewer seasons. He won 210 games at Stephen F. Austin, 198 at Arkansas and now has 292 at Texas A8tM. Blair also appreciated his opponent, the previously unbeaten Golden Bears, who put up a tough firstquarter effort.

ALAIYIEDA (AP) — Two months after w o ndering whether he still had a future in the NFL, cornerback David Amerson is inching closer to a starting job with the Oakland Raiders. A 2013 secondround draft pick by W a shington, Amerson has been mostly in a backup role with the Raiders. He made a handful of starts while the coaching staff moved playersaround to compensate for injuries and is coming off a strong game last week against Calvin Johnson and the Detroit Lions. With the exception of a Week 9 matchup with Pittsburgh's Antonio Brown, Amerson has been Oakland's best cornerback since his arrival in late September afier being released by the Redskins. "I like him, period," coach Jack Del Rio said. "I think he's a good player. I think he was targeted five or six times (by Detroit) and did a nice job. One swing pass that he could have kept his head up and tackled better, but for the most part I thought he played pretty well." The Raiders need something to change in t heir secondary. Oakland is 30th against the pass this season and 2013 first-round pick DJ Hayden is laboring through another rough year. According to ProFootballF ocus.corn, Hayden is t he

"It'sgratifying for the kids to get recognitionfor the effort they put in over the season," said Sonora head coach Matt Personius. "It'simportant that the kids understand that other people see the fruits of their effort. Not just that they worked hard, but that they are above the average and above the fray." The CIF Sac-Joaquin Section Division III boys second-place team had two first-team players and two second-team members.Junior Robby Van Noord was awarded as the Goalie of the Year. "If you told me at the beginning of the season that he would be recognized as goalie of the year, I would have been surprised," Personius said of Van Nord. "Robby had a very solid year and made greatstrides in his ability and his technique. At the end of the year he finished very well and had a big upswing in his performance and fundamentals.

Farwell led Sonora with 80 goals and averaged 3.2 scores per game. Hanston scored 30 timesfortheWi ldcats. "Seth is hands down the bestcenterin our league and probably one of the best centers in our section, and that includes division I-III," Persomus SBld.

When it comes to Hanston, he will be one of the key pieces returningforthe 2016 season and Personius is happy to have him back. "He's a super hard-working guy with a great attitude and is highly motivated," Personius said. "He's fun to coach and is a pleasure to have on the team. He's a super defender.

He ran 1 V8 miles in 1:48.92.

Blue 3ays bring back free-agent Happ TORONTO (AP) — J.A. Happ is headed back to the Toronto Blue Jays. The lefthander agreed to a $36 million, three-year contract on Friday, return-

ing to the team he pitched for from 2012-14. Happ fills another rotation spot for the AL East champions, who could lose fellow lefties David Price and Mark Buehrle in free agency this ofFseason. Perhaps thebiggest prize on the market, Price is expectedtocommand a huge deal. The 33-year-old Happ was 11-8 with a 3.61 ERA in 31startsfor Seattle and Pittsburgh last season, setting career highs with 172 innings and 151 strikeouts. He was especially e6ectiveafter getting traded to the Pirates in July, going 7-2 with a 1.85 ERA in 11 starts down the stretch to help them earn an NL wild card. Happ went 19-20 with a 4.39 ERA in 58 games, including 50 starts, over 2 V2 seasons with the Blue Jays.

cism) comes along with film study throughout the week," center Daniel Kilgore said. "As offensive linemen, we pick up tendencies of defensive linemen. I guess that's with everyposition. I'm sure some guys are easier to disguise, just like how some defenses are." After three disappointing seasons in Jacksonville, Gabbert enhanced his game after getting 763 days between starts, allowing the former 10th-overall pick to watch and learn from the sidelines. "You probably forget how long it's been since he's taken snaps," Chryst said. "Not many people can go 92 yards on a drive right before the end of the half and get seven (points), which was good." After a dreary start Sun-

day, Gabbert gave the 49ers life before halftime with a scoring drive that l a sted 1:31, culminating in tight end

game. Against the Lions last week, Amerson was matched against Johnson four times and allowed one completion. He also made a sparkling play as Oakland's nickel back when he came from behind Johnson to break up a thirddown pass. Still, Amerson won't get in a debate over whether he should be starting. The 23-year-oldis content to be back playing after being uncertain about his future in the NFL — or if he even had one after being released by the Redskins. "It's just the business, I play the role they assign me," said Amerson, who is signed through the 2016 season. "They make the decisions and I just work here. Whatever role I get, whatever week it is, Ijustdo the bestof my ability to execute that role. I just play." Whether starting or not, Amerson will likely be on the field a lot Sunday in Tennes-

Although the Titans are 2-8, rookie quarterback Marcus Mariotahas played very well. Mariota isn't the running, gunning quarterback he was in college, but is mobile enough to cause problems in the NFL "Any time you run into a quarterback who can move, you run into the possibility of stinging plays,"Amerson said. "You might shut down a route initially then the quarterback starts running around, and all of a sudden someone goes deep or you lose sight of your man. It's not easy by any means, but as a DB it's what you signed up for."

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

No. 4 Notre Dame visits No. 13 Stanford in CFPeliminator STANFORD (AP) — Amid all the uncertainty surrounding the College Football Playoff one thing is crystal clear: The loser of the Notre-Dame Stanfordgame won'tbe part of the final four. As for the winner, that will be a much more complicated question. With both teams currently outside the t op four even a late-season win against a top-fiight opponent might not be enough. No. 4 Notre Dame (10-1 No. 6 CFP) certainly has a clearer path to the playofF than No. 13 Stanford (9-2, No. 9 CFP) with one fewer loss. But any scenario that ends in a playoff berth for these teams starts with a win Saturday at Stanford Stadium. The Cardinal also get another shot to impress the committee next week in the Pac-12 title game against either No. 23 UCLA or Southern California. "I don't believe in talking beforedoing,"Stanford coach David Shaw said. 'We' ll see where we are afier those two games and weH see where everybody else is. We may be deserving. We may not be

deserving. But for us to think about anything other than Notre Dame is insanity because they' re good enough to get our full attention." While Shaw is not in campaign mode, Fighting Irish coach Brian Kelly believes his team should be in the playoff with a season-ending win at Stanford. He pointed to the consistency Notre Dame has shown all season against a schedule that will feature four games against teams currently in the playoff ranklllgs.

But despite all that, the Irishdropped from fourth to sixth after beating Boston College last week. "I reallydon't care about the rankings right now," linebacker Joe Schmidt said. "All I care about is Stanford. Really, we could be one, seven, Nhat V.Mayer/Bay Area News Group/TNS nine, 11 and it does not matter. We still have to play the Stanford's Christian McCaffrey (5) returns a kickoff 96 game against Stanford." yards against UCLA at Stanford Stadium on Oct. 15. Here are some other things

Dame claimed a few more players. Leading rusher C.J. Prosise is doubtful with a sprained ankle. Freshman Josh Adams, who has three 100-yard rushing games and has 592 yards rushing, will get the bulk of the carries if Prosise can't go. The Irish will be without their top cornerback after KeiVarae Russell broke his right leg last week. "It's definitely a void that has to be filled," linebacker Jaylon Smith said of Russell's injury. Hogan's goodbye: This will be the final home game for one of the most productive

quarterbacksever to play at Stanford. Kevin Hogan's 33 wins are the most all-time for a Cardinal quarterback and he ranks second in completion percentage (65.7 percent), passing efficiency (151.5) and fourth in TD passes (67) and yards passing (8,749).

Protect the ball: T h e Irish are coming off a sloppy game against Boston College that included five turnovers, including three interceptions by DeShone Kizer. Notre Dame has committed

17 turnovers this season is minus-four on the season, though nine have come in two games. "You worry a little bit about him wanting to do too much," Kelly said. "Then you kind of talk to him and spend some time with him. And then you realize that some of the things that he's doing, he' s seeing it for the first time and it's a learning experience for him." Missing piece: Stanford will be without at least one key starter with f u llback Daniel Marx out for the season with a lower-leg injury. Chris Harrell will take over as thelead blocker forMc Caffrey, although the Cardinal could also use one of their many tight ends in that role. Cornerback Ronnie Harris' status is also in doubt with a sprained ankle that forced him to miss the Big Game last week.

Now they await word to see if there are enough six-win, bowl-eligible teams to fill the 80 postseason slots. If5-7 teams are needed to round out the bowl field, Nebraska hopes to be one of them. "To some people who say we' re not good enough to go to a bowl, maybe they' re right," defensive end Jack Gangwish said, "but I'd sure like to go." The Husker s amassed 433

mistakes, though. Iowa's first t o uchdown was set up by two Nebraska personal fouls, its second was Parker Hesse's 4-yard interception return on a ball he tipped at the line of scrimmage, and its third was set up on punter Sam Foltz's late hit on Desmond King atthe end of a

most by Washington State since 2009 against Hawaii. Peyton Bender made his first collegestart forWashington State because of an injury to Luke Falk and lookedthe part of an inexperienced freshman. Bender threw for 288 yards, but the Cougars (84, 6-3) failed to take advantage of three good scoring opportunities in the first half. Bender started after Falk suffered an apparent concussion last week against Colorado. Jones returned an i n t erception 69 yards for a touchdown in the third quarter, and Gardenhire scooped upa fumble and returned it 28 yards for a touchdown in the fourth quarter. On the next play from scrimmage after Gardenhire's TD, Victor nabbed Bender's pass and returned it 27 yards for another score. Western Michigan 35, No. 24 Toledo 30 TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) — Corey Davis caught two touchdown passes and Western Michigan upset Toledo to send Northern Illinois to the Mid-American Conference championship game. The Rockets (9-2, 6-2) could have earned the MAC West title and a spot in the league title game, but the Broncos (7-5, 6-2) created a three-way tie for the division. NIU beat both Toledo and Western Michigan and will face Bowling Green on Dec. 4 at Ford Field in Detroit. The game turned when Toledo's Alonzo Russell fumbled a punt to

set up Davis' second touchdown, a 30-yard catch from Zach Terrell with 1:07 to play in the first half thatgave the Broncos a 25-21 lead. No. 21 Houston 52, No. 16 Navy 31 HOUSTON (AP) — Greg Ward, Jr. threw for 308 yards and three touchdowns and Houston beat Navy to reach the first American Athletic Conference championship game. Houston (11-1, 7-1 American) won the West Division title and will host either Temple or South Florida in the championship game Dec. 5. The Cougars are also well positioned to earn a bid to a New Year's Six bowl game, likely the Fiesta Bowl, if they win the league championship. Ward was 26-of-35 passing and ran for 83 yards and another score. Brandon Wilson, who was moved from cornerback to running back this week because of injuries, ran for 111 yards and two touchdowns on 22 carries. Demarcus Ayers had eight catches for 161 yards and a touchdown and threw a touchdown pass. Keenan Reynolds rushed for 84 yards on 19 carries and a fourth quarter touchdown and was 14 of 17 for 312 yards passing and a touchdown for Navy (9-2, 7-1). He scored his 83rd career touchdown to match the FBS record set by Wisconsin's Montee Ball. Reynolds also set a Navy record with his 29th career TD pass. Navy had its five-game winning streak snapped.
