GOP might want top-two

primary to be national model Critics call California's three-year-old top two primary election system a "jungle primary" because it tosses candidates of all stripes into the same pot, forcing them to speak to all voters since only the two leading vote-getters can make it into November runoff elections. But by this time next year, the national Republican Party might be wishing this system were in effect much more widely. The reason is clear: Donald Trump. Almost all pundits until very recently gave him only a slim chance of winning the Republican presidential nomination he seeks so avidly. No poll gives him much chance of besting any leading Democratic candidate. Yet, Trump has been the ThofQQ$ steady leader in the GOP p olls s i n ce declaring his candidacy with a blast at illegal immigration, calling the undocumented a bunch of criminals, rapists

and murderers despite the fact their crime rate is

about as low as that of any group in America. The facts on this and other items don't faze Trump because he knows who he's appealing to: the most radically conservative voters in the Republican Party's base. Because Republican primaries are winner-take-all, all he needs is a plurality among GOP voters in a few states in order to force most other Republican candidates out of the race. This means Trump has no need to appease moderate Republicans or even think about Democrats, as he would need to do in a top-two race like those that have brought an element of moderation to California's Legislature. It means that for now he needs to deal with only a very small slice of America, no matter how little credibility may have in other quarters. Nationally, registered GOP voters amount to about 32 percent ofallregistrants,about 15 percentage pointsbehind Democrats. Polls now show Trump drawing between 25 and 40 percent of the GOP vote, or approximately 8 to 10 percent of those who have registered. But the registered account for less than threefourths of those eligible to vote. So Trump currently is drawing support from only about 7 or 8 percent of eligible voters, a small portion of the nation. But if he continues drawing his current level of support and no other candidate passes him, he can win the GOP nomination just like that. In fact, Trump doesn't even need support from 7 percentofeligible voters,because farless than half of all registered Republicans vote regularly in primary elections. This means he needs to appeal to barely 3 percent of the entire eligible voter pool. That level of support certainly wouldn't win him the presidency, but it could produce utter disaster for his party, because if Trump should be the GOP nominee, he could drag down many members ofthe House and Senate in swing states and districts. That's why longtime GOP leaders like former TexasGov.Rick Perry and Sens.Lindsey Graham of South Carolinaand John McCain ofArizona warn that Trump could spell ruination for their party. They might be right, and a top two primary system operating nationally could be the solution. Yes, such a system could one day result in pitting Democrat vs. Democrat or Republican vs. Republican for the presidency, as has happened in dozens of California legislative races since this state voted for the switch to top two. In many of those cases, the more moderate, less radically right or left candidate has won, one reason why the state Legislature is a far more functional body today than it was just a few years ago. (The other reason is that Californians voted several years ago to eliminate the two-thirds-vote requirement for passing budgets.) It's true minor party candidates have not yet made it into a runoff under top two. But that doesn' t mean they can't if one of them ever develops mass appeal. Imagine the scare a third-party candidate like Ross Perot or John Anderson could put into both major parties under a national top two primary system.

The Republican Party has been as active as the Democrats in opposing such change, on both state and national levels. But if Trump leads Republicans to a complete disaster next year using the current closed primary system, the GOP might have to change its tune, and soon.

GUEST COLUMN

Ethanol program should be scrapped A federal program, once launched, is impossible to kill. It doesn't matter if the scheme wastes money. It doesn't matter if the program doesn't work. It doesn't even matter if the program does the very opposite of what it is supposed to do. Every government program enters the world with an army of fairy godmothers prepared to fend offany effortto cutthe cord — hence the staying power of ethanol. When President George W. Bush signed legislation to expand a federal requirement to blend gasoline with ethanol in 2007, he could claim with some credibility that he was pushing a renewable alternative to fossil fuels, on which Americans were so dependent. Yes, there were skeptics. I was one of them. But the Bush Renewable Fuel Standard flowed with the

FactCheck.org looked at ethanol and found U.S.Department of Energy-sponsored research that concluded that ethanol reduces greenhouse gases. But it' s hard to believe that the ethanol mandate is good for the environment when the Si-

erra Club, the Environmental Working Group and Friends of the Earth oppose the federal program. The Sierra Club describesclaims that ethanol reduces carbon input as "extremely dubious." Ethanol has fallen out of favor largely because it eats up so much of the corn supply. Some 40 percent of the U.S. corn crop goes into gas tanks, not stomachs. As demand for corn has risen, so have food prices. As the cost of feed has risen, so have beef prices. ActionAid USA and other antipoverty groups alsooppose ethanol supporl s. Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., has worked across the aisle to end ethanol supports, in part to spur the production of biofuels with smaller environmental footprints. This year, to her undying credit, she joined with Sen. Pat Toomey, R-Pa., to sponsor the Corn Ethanol Mandate Elimination Act of 2015. Matt Dempsey, a former staffer for Sen. Jim Inhofe, R-Okla., of climate skepticism fame, has watched the left and right come together against ethanol for a decade. Now in public relations for the probusiness Center for Regulatory Solutions, Dempsey has been busy alerting states about the high cost folks outside Iowa pay for ethanol. Ethanol gets fewer miles to the gallon than gasoline. Thus, his group

YOUR VIEWS

We should beproud of and not confused aboutwho we are and our impor-

mainstream of American politics. In the

2008 presidential election, Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., was a big booster of the ethanol mandate. Every year since then, ethanol has been harder to defend. A 2008 study published in Science magazine found that cornbased ethanol increases greenhouse gas emissions instead of reducing them. A 2009 study concluded that plowing fields to grow corn for ethanol could release more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere than ethanol offsets.

estimates that since 2005, the renewable standard has cost Californians an extra $13 billion at the pump. With such a political heavyweight as Feinstein leading the opposition, you would expect California Democrats to support an effort thathelpsfamilieskeep groceries on the table. It says something about the political heft of the ethanol lobby, however, that House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi cosigned a letter with fellow Democrats that urged the Obama administration to "keep in mind the need to reduce carbon pollution" as the president heads to the United Nations climate conference in Paris. The Environmental Protection Agency must release three-year ethanol standards by the end of the month, and Pelosi supports "a robust renewable fuels rule." Read: more ethanol.

Dempsey descri bed the Pelosiletteras"a head-scratcher." He said, "It really stands out as one of the more bizarre moments for Pelosi." The only way it makes sense, Dempsey added, is if Pelosi wants to provide cover for the Obama administration to uphold a mandate that bites into everyone'swalletbut,itseems, doesnotdecrease greenhouse gases. Pelosi has to know how bad Obama would look touting ethanol as a tool to combat climate change. To pull off that stunt, Obama should avoid the City of Light and instead head for Iowa.

er on a sacs ose user NEW YORK (AP) — Shoppers traded bricks for clicks on Monday, flocking online to snap up "Cyber Monday" deals on everythmg from cashmere sweaters to Star Wars toys. Now that shoppers are online all the time anyway, the 10-year-old shopping holiday has lost some of its luster as online sales on Thanksgiving and Black Friday pick up. But enough shoppers have been trained to look for "Cyber Monday" specific sales to ensure the holiday will still mean big bucks for retailers.

14 percent higher than a year ago. "A lotofpeoplewaitto seeifdealsare better on Cyber Monday," said Forrester Research analyst Sucharita Mulpuru. New Yorker Anna Osgoodby was one of the many online shoppers who spread her purchases throughout the holiday shopping weekend. On Black Friday, she tookadvantage ofa 35 percent sale at onlineaccessories retailer ashandwillow.corn, buying earrings, a necklace and bracelet. Then she bought earrings and clutches on Monday during its 40 percent off sale. "That extra 5 percent convinced me to buy a few more," she said. Some hot sellers were in scarce supply by early afternoon on Monday. At Target, a Swagway hoverboard was sold out by early afternoon. The electronic transportation gadget had been $100 offat $399.Drones and some StarWars

It's too early for sales figures, but

Monday is still expected to be the biggest online shopping day ever, likely racking up more than $3 billion in sales, according to comScore. Adobe, which tracks 200 million visitors to 4,500 retail websites, said $490 million had been spent online as of 10 a.m. E.T. on Monday, the latest data available. That' s

toys were hard to find as well. 'There are certain hot products, hov-

erboards seem to be a phenomenon, they' re selling out everywhere," said Scot Wingo, chairman of ChannelAdvisor, which provides e-commerce services to retailers. Adobe found 15 out of 100 product views returned an out-of-stock message as of 10 a.m., two-and-a-half times the normal rate.

And there were a few brief outages at sites like Neiman Marcus and Target and onlinepayments company PayPal reported a brief interruption in service. Retailers have been touting online deals since the beginning of November. And they nolonger wait for Monday to roll out Cyber Monday deals, either. Amazon started "Lightning Deals" on Saturday and Wal-Mart beginning all ofitsCyber 08' erson 8 p.m .on Sunday.

TUOLUMNE UTILITIES DISTRICT NOTICE OF ADOPTED INCREASES TO WATER AND SEWER RATES AND CHARGES The Board of Directors of the Tuolumne Utilities District held a Public Hearing at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday, November 17, 2015 in the District Board room at 18885Nugget Blvd., Sonora, California. The Boardadopted the following water andsewer rates that will go into effect on January 1, 2016. The new water and sewer rates were adopted by the following vote: Ayes: Director Grinnell, Director Johnson, Director Kopf, Director Maciel and Ringen Noes: None.

The adopted rate increase is necessary to pay for the operation and maintenance of the water and sewer systems, replace outdated and failing equipment and facilities, comply with State and federal regulations, and to establish a small financial reserve to address future needsandavoid operational deficits and financial instability.

Proposed Treated Water Rates Water customers currently pay a monthly "Ready to serve" or "Fixed Service Charge", which covers most of the fixed costs associated with delivering water such asbilling and collection costs. The Fixed Service Charge isestablished based onthe size of the water meter serving a property. This increase will become effective on January 1, 2016, followed by incremental increases each January 1st from 2017 to 2020. Most TUD customers have a 1" size meter or less, the new fixed charge of $47.50, is approximately $60 a month for a typical family water bill. This translates to an increase of approximately $14.60 a month or $0.49 aday. 400 cubic feet (cu. ft.) of water or 100 gallons per day isincluded with the monthly FixedService Charge. The water rates also include a Quantity Volumetric Charge that is proposed to be established at a uniform rate for each one hundred cubic feet of water used in excess of 400cu. ft. A customer's actual water bill will vary depending onhow much water is used and the size of their water meter. In the new rate structure table listed below, the District has eliminated the Conservation and 1-inch fire service rate.

She said she wants to see the video because they want to catch them, because this is not right." Singh said he expected to meet with the officer later Tuesday to share a copy of surveillance video from Sunday. Sonora Chief of Police Mark Stinson reviewed the video later Tuesday and said there is an open, active investigation of a theft attempt. Singh said he is Sikh and sometimes people mistake him for Muslim or Arabic, but his dealings with people in the Mother Lode are primarily positive. "I moved here from New York a couple years back to get a business," Singh said. ''We had to lease in New York. Here we can own, and the weather is more like where I come from in India. I left my parents to come here to the land of opportunity."

Brownies are a relative newcomer in cookie history, but we Americans can take claim, for they were first introduced here at the end of the 19th century. God blessed America againl The concept of the brownie, or any bar cookie, is that you bake it like a cake in a square or an, then cut it into bars.

Peanut Butter Scotcheroos Makes 20 squares 6 cups puffed rice cereal, like Rice Krispies 1 cup sugar 1 cup light corn syrup 1 cup creamy peanut butter 1 cup semisweet chocolatechips 1 cup butterscotch chips

. g -4p;it

1. Get everything ready: These bars certainly aren't difficult, but once you start, it's best to keep going. If you have to stop in the middle, the saucecould overcook or harden too much to stir into the cereal. First, line the baking pan with parchment and coat it evenly with nonstick spray. Then, measure the puffed rice into a large mixing bowl. Measure the sugar and cornsyrup into a medium saucepan and have the peanut butter ready close by. Combine the chocolate and butterscotch chips in a heatproof bowl and set aside. 2. Bring the sugar and corn syrup to a boil: Set the pan with sugar and corn syrup over medium heat. Stir to form a sandy paste, then stop stirring. Let the mixture come to a boil. As it warms, the sugar will dissolve and the mixture will become clear. Once the mixture is at a full boil with bubbles covering the whole surface, remove the pan from heat. 3. Stir in the peanut butter: While the syrup is still very hot, stir in the peanut butter to form a thick, glossy sauce. 4. Pour the peanut butter sauce over the

puffed rice: Pour a little sauce over the puffed rice, stir it in, then pour a little more. Continue until all the sauce has been added. Continue to gently stir the puffed rice another few seconds until the cereal is evenly coated and no pockets of sauce remain. 5. Transfer the cereal mixture to the baking dish: Butter your hands or spray with a little oil, and press the mixture firmly and evenly into the pan. 6. Melt the chocolate chips and butterscotch chips: Melt the chips in the microwave on high for 30 seconds, then stir. Repeat until just a few tiny lumps remain. Stir until the last lumps are dissolved. (In my microwave, this took three 30-second intervals, or 1 1/2 minutes total.) 7. Pour the chocolate over the cereal bars: Use a spatula to scrape every last bit of melted chocolate onto the bars. Smooth into an even layer with the back of the spatula. 8. Cool until the chocolate becomes firm: Let the bars firm up for a few hours. Once the chocolate has firmed, cover the bars until ready toserve. On a hot day, you may need to put the bars in the fridge for the chocolate topping to set. 9. Cut into individual bars: If your bars have been refrigerated, let them come to room temperature for a half hour or so before cutting or serving. Lift the bars out of the pan by lifting on the parchment. Use a sharp knife to cut the bars into 20 squares. 10. Storing the bars: Scotcheroos will keep for at least a week or longer, and they are fine served at any time. Keep the bars in an airtight container at room temperature. If it's warm and the chocolate is softening too much, you can store the bars in the fridge; just let them come to room temperature before serving or they will be brittle.

Servings: 16 Preparation time: 1 hour 11/4 cups dried chemes (6 ounces) 1/2 cup port wine 8 ounces chocolate chips, preferably dark 11/3 cups all-purpose flour 1/2teaspoon salt 3/4 cup sugar 1/3 cup no-trans-fat buttery spread, butter or margarine 1/2 cup liquid egg substitute or two large eggs 1 teaspoon vanilla Spray a 9-inch-square pan with pan spray.

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

Am Ibeing unreasonable about a threesome or should I rethink this situation?CONFUSED DEAR CONFUSED: This guy is unreliable financially and emotionally. He wants you to support him while he indulges himseK His sexual interests do not coincide with yours. He is manipulating and pushing you to do something you don't want to do.

The sex may be great, but it's not enough to make up for his shortcomings.We urge you to getaway from this guy altogether. DEAR MINIE: I am writing in response to "Lonely for Life," the teenager who had few friends and was concerned about being "antisocial." I,too,had socialanxiety for most of my life. In my 30s, I decided I just couldn't continue that way. I started off simply by walking down the hall at work, looking people in the eyes and saying, "Good morning." It was very difltcult in the beginning, but became easier. Then I took further small steps in making social contact with others. It took a number of years to reach an acceptable (to me) level of comfort in social situations. I am in my 60s now and have been teaching for a nonprofit for the past 20 years. Who

"Lonely for Life" should take slow steps and try to get outside her comfortzone a little each day.It doesn't happen overnight, but if it can happen for me, then I think "Lonely" can do it, too.— NO LONGER A WALI FLOWER DEAR NO LONGER: Thank you for your words of encouragement.

Diabetes and hypertension often go hand in hand DEAR DR, ROACH: My 72-yearold aunt has both hypertension and Type 2 diabetes. She is ttot on any medications yet. If she took medication to correct her hypertension only, would her blood sugar levels normalize? Or, if she tookmedication to correct Type 2 diabetes only, would her hypertension be eliminated? I need to know what advice to give her as she wants to take the least amount of medications due to possible bad side eff ects.— J.I. ANSWER: High blood pressure and Type 2 diabetes often go together, to the point where we recommend people with highbloodpressure gettested for diabetes,and every person with diabetes gets his or her blood pressure checked every visit. However, the treatments are sepa-

Good Health Keith Roach, M.D. sure down to the point where medicine is no longer necessary. The same good diet, exercise and weight loss usually bring down the blood sugar as well, sometimes enough that no medications are required. However, both diabetes and high blood pressurehave bad eff ects on bloodvessels,especially the ones that go totheheartand brain,predisposing people with either condition to heart attack and stroke. Having both these conditions further increases risk. The good news is that medications are much better than even a few years ago, and most people can find treatments without bad sideeffects. DEAR DR, ROACH:You have men-

severalconditions.I have read otherwise. How strong is the evidence for its use? ANSWER: The efFectiveness of acupuncture for over 50 different medical conditions was reviewed by the Cochrane Collaboration, an evidencebased medicine group. Some of these show significant benefit; for example, acupuncture improves pain and function in people with fibromyalgia and osteoarthritis, when compared with placebo pills. Acupuncture also was better than doing nothing and better than some other treatments.

nine matc not oo a rtner materia DEAR ANNIE: I am a 51-yearoldattractiveprofessional,divorced twice and currently engaged to a 58-year-old man who also is twice divorced. We met online and hit it off pretty quickly. He has a magnetic personality, and sex is great between us. He moved in,and Iam supporting him financially until he gets his businesses in order. He has had four DUIs and recently spent some time in jail. I have stood by him through this. He has always been upfront that he likes to view porn a lot and wants to experiment sexually. This doesn' t botherme. But he posted an ad online asking another woman to join us for sex. While we may fantasize about this in the bedroom, he wants to make it real and this makes me uncomfortable. But he gets angry if I say so. (He also doesn't like when I mention the money issues between us.) I have been through a lot over the past few years, including getting out

Today in history Today is Tuesday, Dec. 1, the 335th day of 2015. There are 30 days left in the year. Today's Highlight in History:On Dec. 1, 1955, Rosa Parks, a black seamstress, was arrested after refusing to give up her seat to a white man on a Montgomery, Alabama, city bus; the incident sparked a yearlong boycott of the buses by blacks. On this date: In 1824, the presidential election was turned over to the U.S. House of Representatives when a deadlock developed between John Quincy Adams, Andrew Jackson, William H. Crawford and Henry Clay. (Adams ended up the winner.) In 1862, President Abraham Lincoln sent his Second Annual Message to Congress, in which he called for the abolition of slavery, and went on to say, "Fellow citizens, we cannot escape history. We of this Congress and this administration will be remembered in spite of ourselves." In 1942, nationwide gasoline rationing went into effect in the United States. In 1965, an airlift of refugees from Cuba to the United States began in which thousands of Cubans were allowed to leave their homeland. In 1969, the U.S. government held its first draft lottery since World War II. In 1973, David BenGurion, Israel's first prime minister, died in Tel Aviv at age 87. In 1989, Soviet President Mikhail S. Gorbachev met with Pope John Paul II at the Vatican. In 1990, British and French workers digging the Channel Tunnel between their countries finally met after knocking out a passage in a service tunnel.

East Naomi Campbell, who was born in England 4J9 and became one of the top six supermodels of V K 1074 her time, said, "I like words like transformation, > K 0 t0 5 t J85 3 2 reinvention, and chameleon. Because one word I don't like is predictable." 410 2 4J9 South Bridge writers can be predictable, but some use 4 KQ72 the chameleon system of bidding. They make the V5 bid that fits the hand they have, not what their con0 A9 vention card says. For example, in today's deal, what should North rebid with his hand? 4 KQ8 7 64 One writer said that he must bid two diamonds, fourth suit game-forcing, because a three-heart rebid Vulnerable: Both would be only game-invitational. He sarcastically called it modern bidding. But what would he have done with ace-doubleton of spades and six hearts to Pass ?? theking-queen-jack?No doubthewould have recom- 14 mended a game-invitational three hearts! The advantage of two diamonds is that you Openinglead:t K hear another bid from partner (here, three clubs, to show the long suit) before continuing with three hearts. Over the writer's forcing three-heart rebid, South might well bid three no-trump, which North would probably pass. Then they would miss a makable seven-club contract. After fourth-suit-forcing, the auction over three hearts would probably continue three notrump - four clubs - four diamonds (control-bid) - four hearts (control-bid) - Blackwood - six or seven clubs. Admittedly, in seven clubs, South must guess the play. With this layout, he must establish dummy's heart suit. You can work out the play. The key point is that with strain and level uncertain, keep the early bidding ss low as possible.

BUTOW, as Trustor(s), in favor of JP MORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A. as Beneficiary, WILL SELL AT PUBLIC AUCTION TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER, in lawful money of the United States, all payable at the time of sale, that certain property situated in said County, California describing the land therein as: AS MORE FULLY DESCRIBED IN SAID DEED OF TRUST The property heretofore described is being sold "as is". The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 13100 HOG MOUNTAIN RD, JAMESTOWN, CA 95327 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be made without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the Note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust, with interest thereon, as provided in said Note(s), advances if any, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, estimated fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust. The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligations secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of this Notice of Trustee's Sale is estimated to be $205,886.07 (Estimated). However, prepayment premiums, accrued interest and advances will increase this figure prior to sale. Beneficiary's bid at said sale may include all or part of said amount. In addition to cash, the Trustee will accept a cashier's check drawn on a state or national bank, a check drawn by a state or federal credit union or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, savings association or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the California Financial Code and authorized to do business in California, or other such funds as may be acceptable to the Trustee.

The property offered for sale excludes all funds held on account by the property receiver, if applicable. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder's sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. Notice to Potential Bidders If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a Trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a Trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder's office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same Lender may hold more than one mortgage or Deed of Trust on the property. Notice to Property Owner The sale date shown on this Notice of Sale may be postponed one or more times by the Mortgagee, Beneficiary, Trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about Trustee Sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale.

BRIEFING

Cousins leads Kings past Dallas SACRAMENTO (AP) — DeMarcus Cousins returned to the lineup from a back injury and scored 16ofhis31 points in the fourth quarter, leading the Sacramento Kings past the struggling Dallas Mavericks 112-98 on Monday night. Rajon Rondo had 21 points and Rudy Gay added 20 for the Kings, who had dropped six straight to Dallas and 21 of the previous 23 meetings. Sacramento outscored the Mavericks 22-13 in the third to take the lead for good. Darren Collison added 15 points and Omri Casspi 10 for the Kings. Cousins grabbed nine rebounds and Rondo had five assists. Cousins shot 5 of 9 from the field in the fourth and hit all six free throws to help Sacramento build on its third-quarter lead. Gay converted a three-point play to give the Kings a 97-86 advantage. Cousins missed the previous three games due to a lower back strain. Sacramento is 1-7 without him this season and 12W when he' s absent since Cousins joined the team in 2010.

Ravens win on blocked FG rehirn CLEVELAND (AP)This season of injury upon injury for the Ravens finally includes a break worth celebrating. Brent Urban blocked Travis Coons' field-goal attempt and Will Hill returned it 64 yards for a touchdown as time expired, giving Baltimore a stunning 33-27 win Monday night over the luckless Cleveland Browns, who lost their sixth straight game along with starting quarterback Josh McCown. Coons lined up to kick a potential gamewinning 51-yard field goal with 3 seconds to go for the Browns (2-9), but it was deflected by Urban, who was playing his first NFL game after missing the past two seasons with injuries to his knee and right arm. Quarterback Matt Schaub, making his first start since 2013, threw two touchdown passes for the Ravens (4-7), who seem to take every game to the wire.

A seven-time NL M VP, Bonds broke Hank Aaron' s career home record of 755 on Aug. 7, 2007, in the last of his 22 big league seasons. In July, after a pursuit that lastednearly a decade,federal prosecutors dropped what remained of their criminal case against Bonds. But because

to defeat a ranked team. The California Community College Men's Basketball Coaches Association Poll had Butte ranked No. 6 as of its latest rankings on Nov. 23. The Northern California Regional Poll had the Roadrunners No. 3. For Hoyt, it doesn't matter what a team is ranked, he just wants to come away

with a win. "The guys were really fired up," Hoyt said. "They were fired up because they (Butte) were ranked and they beat us before. For me, I'm not too concerned about the rankings. It's not a big deal to me as far as the rankings. What was a big deal is traveling four hours on the road and having to deal with their crowd and that atmosphere and to get us a win. That is a big deal for me." Columbia is currently unranked, however, that could change on Dec. 7, the next time the poll is updated. The win keeps Columbia (5-3) tied for first with West Hills Coalinga in the Central Valley Conference with a 0.625 winning percentage. On the season Columbia is outscoring its opponents 7568. During their three-game winning-streak, the Jumpers are overpowering opponents by an 80-61 average. Since losing to San Joaquin Delta College on the road in overtime, a game where the Jumpers blew a 20 point lead, Columbia has been playing like a completely different team. "I knew after the Delta game, thatupcoming week was going to be the most infiuential week of the season," Hoyt said. "We had some roster changes and added

USC namesClay Helton head coach LOS ANGELES (AP)Clay Helton has twice taken charge of the Southern California football program in moments of crisis and steadied the Trojans with calm leadership. Athletic director Pat Haden decided Helton has earned the chance to be much more than his backup plan. USC hired Helton as its permanent coach on Monday, removing the interim tag fivedays before the Trojans face Stanford in the Pac-12 championship game. Helton guided the troubled Trojans (8-4, 5-3 Pac12) to five victories and a Pac-12 South title in his seven-week tenure a f ter

Bostan (who was recovering from a broken jaw), and we had a lot of team meetings. The guys now believe what we are doing and we are also coaching a little different. We, as a group, are a better group. The group is stronger and we have really good relationship with one another. It's exciting that the group we have now is a different team since that Delta game." Columbia will not p l ay again until F r iday, when it has back-to-back home games. On Friday, the Jumpers face Simpson College JV. On Saturday, the rival Modesto Junior College Pirates will travel to the Oak Pavilion to take on Columbia and Jumper Nation.

in the three straight Sacdoaquin Section championships Sonora owns, along with Maddison Evans and Kristin Chormicle.

MJC is 3-3, but, like Columbia, is riding a threegame winning-streak. The Pirates face West Hills Coalinga onFriday before taking on the Jumpers on Saturday, all part of the Columbia College Classic. "Modesto is very good and have physical post players and wings that can shoot it," Hoyt said. "They are going to cause us a lot of problems and they have a really good coach. They have things going to be really tough to have to play really well." ARer its two games this week, Columbia will not be back playing inside the Pavilion until Dec 30.

But as the ball reached its apex, MacDonald surged a few feet ahead. "The ball stayed in the air forever, but I came in and caught it and like five guys

got me and I was just trying to hold onto the ball," MacDonald said. He made the grab and dragged defenders, who were trying to strip the ball away, another 15 yards before being brought down at the Bruin 5. As soon as MacDonald made the catch, the large Sonora crowd erupted with the loudest cheer of the game to that point.

"It was huge," Craig said. "David MacDonald was in the game and normally he's not at that time, but we made some changes, and he's in the game. We weren't sure what was go-
