I'd like to also take a look at some of our committees.... See which ones are actuallyproductive because they allcost the county money for administration and stufflike that.... I'd like to make sure those commissions and committees get the support they need to operate. If there's no need for them, we need to get rid of them. Get them off the books.

The county has seemed to struggle with the General Plan. What is the map for building over the next 20 years? Can you explain where the county is at?

What is the reason for manager turnover and what are the solutions? People think because we're a small area up here — a one horse town. That it is fairly easy to manage and do things, but it is not.

Numerous House Republicans say it'spreferable to let the Homeland Security Department go unfunded for afew days, at least,ifthat's the cost of undoing a White House immigration policy they consider unlawful. These lawmakers say the impact on national security would be minimal, as would the political risks. "Shutting down" the agency known as DHS "is a set of words that don't really have the meaning that people attribute to it," said Republican Rep. Mo Brooks of Alabama. "There was

Brooks was referring to the 2013 partial federal government shutdown that Americans blamed mostly on Republicans, and which many GOP leadershave vowed not to repeat. Republican Rep. Steve King of Iowa was equally dismissive. "We're never going to see a shutdown over this," King told reporters Thursday. DHS's "essential services" will continue, he said, although "some paychecks may be delayed." King and others say President Barack Obama violated the Constitution with an executive order protecting millions of immigrants, here

illegally, from deportation. A Housepassed bill would fund DHS beyond today only if the order is reversed. Senate Democrats blocked the bill. Now GOP Senate leaders, and some prominent House Republicans, say it's time to fund the Homeland Security Department and fight the deportation issue in the courts. Staunch conservativesdisagree. If a DHS shutdown lasts a week or less, "I don't think it's damaging at all," said Republican Rep. Walter Jones of North Carolina. "The American people are still upset that the president

The 12 to 8 vote in the Judiciary Committee sent Lynch's nomination to the full Senate. Three Republicans joined all committee Democrats in voting "yes." 'The case against her nomination, as far as I can tell, essentiall y ignores her professionalcareer and focuses solely on about six hours that she spent before this committee," said Sen.

Spiesfacequestions about '3ihadi 3ohn' LONDON — British spy agenciesare facing questions about how a young Londoner who was on their radar as part of terrorist investiga-

tions was able to travel to Syriaand become the knifewielding masked militant known as "Jihadi John." Officials have identified the man shown in hostagebeheading videos as Mohammed Emwazi, a Kuwait born computer science graduate raised and educated in Britain. Emwazi, now in his mid-

20s, was known to the British intelligence services since 2009, in connection with investigations into terrorism in Somalia and elsewhere.

Top capo nabbed in Michoacan state MEXICO CITY — Servando "La Tuta"Gomez, one of the most wanted drug lords and who once terrorized western Michoacan state, was captured earlytoday by federal police, according to a Mexican official. He was arrested in the capital city of Morelia without a shot fired, said the official spoke, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the

case. Gomez was the leader of the Knights Templar cartel, a quasi-religious criminal group that once ruled all of the state, controlling politics and commerce.

Ukraine struggles to keep Russia gas CashMOSCOW strapped Ukraine sought to buy time in its effort to ensure continued gas supplies from Russia, making a $15 million payment to Moscow today as it waits for international rescue loans to arrive But Moscow says the sum will cover only an additional day, leaving a potential cut-off looming Tuesday. That increases pressure on Ukraine to strike a deal at an upcoming meeting with Russian officials in Brussels on Monday, amid rising fears in Europe that energy supplies could be threatened by a shutdown to Ukraine.

Hollande tours typhoon-hit Philippines GUIUAN, PhilippinesFrench President Francois H ollande today took h i s warning about the need for funds for a landmark climate deal to a central Philippine town that was devastated by a killer typhoon in 2013. S peaking at a pub l i c school in G uiuan, where Typhoon Haiyan made its first landfall before claiming more than 7,300 lives, Hollande promised to "remember your faces" when France hosts the climate conference in December. On Thursday, he and President Benigno Aquino III launched an international appealtoback efforts to seal the accord in Paris. Hollande warned that there will be no deal if wealthy countries don't commit adequate funds to help poor nations fight global warming.

Judge rulesfor Peterson,openingdoorfor return MINNEAPOLIS (AP) In NFL limbo for the last five-plus months, Adrian Peterson's future with the Minnesota Vikings is still in question. The path toward resolution ofhisstatus hasbeen cleared. The league-union clash over the personal conduct policy, though, has only cranked up. C ommissioner Rog e r Goodell and the NFL were handed asecond high-profi le legal defeat Thursday, when U.S. District Judge David Doty overruled league arbitrator Harold Henderson's December denial of the sixtime Pro Bowl running back's appeal. Doty ruled that Henderson "failed to meet his duty" in considering Peterson's punishment, for the child abuse charge that brought national backlash for the league on the heels of the bungled handling of the assault case involving former Baltimore Ravens runnmg back Ray Rice. Doty said the league cannot retroactively apply the standards of its new, tougher personal conduct policy to an action by Peterson that occurred before the policy was in place. The league suspended Peterson through at least April 15 under the new standard that

er."

Peterson's existing deal is through 2017, carrying a $15.4 million salary cap hit for 2015. If the Vikings cut him, they'd owe him no more money and take only a $2.4 million hit to their salary cap. Peterson has no contractual

leverage, but he has expressed uneasiness about returning to the only team he's ever played for. He told ESPN in a recent interview that he felt betrayed by some members of the organization during the process in which Goodell placed him on the exempt list, essentially paid leave, while the child-abuse case played out in court in Texas. Doty's courtroom has long been a ground zero of sorts for NFL labor matters, and his ruling pattern has favored the union more often than not. Still, his latest rebuke of the NFL came as a surprise because it defied a collectively bargainedarbitration process. 'There's no doubt that generally speaking judges don't like to overturn decisions of

arbitrators, " said Thomas Wassel, a labor and employment attorney and partner at

Cullen and Dykman in New York. "That's a general principle in all of labor law."

OAKLAND (AP) — Former Athletics third baseman Eric Chavez

TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) — Los Angeles Angels outfielder Josh Hamilton was on the minds ofhis teammates Thursday, a day after he was in New York to meet with Major League Baseball officials about an unspecified disciplinary issue. The 33-year-old Hamilton has a historyofdrug addiction and alcohol abuse, leading to suspensions that cost him more than three years while in the minors. The Angels have confirmed Hamilton's meeting with MLB, but have declined to give any more information. "I don't know any of the details, so I can't talk about that. But we miss him and we hope everything works out," MVP outfielder Mike Trout said. "I know that he's going through a lot."

"Their dual commitment to these issues reminds everyone that violence against women and children affects all of us, and that we can all be part of the solution." O akland's players w h o speak Spanish as their first language opted to listen in English, Otero said, because they could understand the subject matter, which he said, "was actually nice having the whole team here as opposed to having half and half." Tim Slavin, chief of business affairsof the Major League Baseball Players Associati on, also attended the session. The San Francisco Giants and other Cactus League teams in Arizona also had classes scheduled Thursday. Players and coaches appreciatedbaseball' s efforts to educate given the issues surrounding other major professional sports leagues.

'You're seeing it a lot in other sports. It's been in the news a lot," San Francisco shortstop Brandon Crawford said. "I feel like it hasn't been as prevalent in Major League Baseball, so it's nice we're doing something to help prevent it and keep us out of it a little bit more." Even before the sessions began, union head Tony Clark said he heard encouraging feedback &om players who were eager to hear more about the process. "It's an opportunity for us to move forward in a very positivedirection on a very challenging issue," Clark said Wednesday. "The steps that we have taken have been hugely beneficial. Awareness,

MIXED MARTIAL ARTS

Ronda Rousey, Cat Zingano take center stage for UFC 184 LOS ANGELES (AP)By many measures, a historic event will happen when Ronda Rousey steps into the octagon with Cat Zingano in the mainevent ofUFC 184 on Saturday night. Two unbeatenmixed martial artists are facing off for a UFC title belt for just the third time in the promotion's 20-year history. Rousey (100) is the most accomplished 6ghter in the history of the women's sport, and she sees the toughest test ofher career in Zingano (9-0), a formidable contender 6nally getting a long-delayed title shot. " She presents a lo t o f unique problems that I'm going to have to solve," Rousey said Thursday. "I think I'm capable of it, but it's definitely the most challenging fight I've ever had to prepare for.

Most of the women I've fought couldn't stand up to Cat, but I think I'm capable of doing it." Not everybody is sold on UFC 184's historic potential, however — and that's because Rousey is just too good. Rousey is a 12-to-1 favorite at Staples Center in some oddsmakers' eyes. It's tough to 6nd many experts who believe Zingano's grappling and jiu-jitsu can weather Rousey's ferocious judo skills and armbars for five minutes, let alone a 6ve-round championship fight.

Yet Rousey's dominance is the reason women's MMA has skyrocketed in prominence over the past two years, and Zingano is eager for her shot at the champ. Affer a career filled with steady growth through adversity, Zingano carries a quiet confidence into

her second fight since a knee injury and her estranged husband's death. "I'm something different," Zingano said. "I'm something unique, and I think I can bring her a different challenge than she'sever seen before.We'll see how she handles it, but I'm very confident I'll win." After the recent injury postponement of Chris Weidman's middleweight title defense against Vitor Belfort, Rousey and Zingano are the big Hollywood show when the UFC finally ends its curious twoyear absence from the largest

INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS In April 2015, The Union Democrat will start morning paper delivery Tuesday through Saturday. In anticipation of this exciting change, we are seeking interested Independent Contractors who enjoy working nights and/or mornings before most people get out of bed. Newspapers will be ready for pickup at our Production Facility on Camage Ave. starting around 1:00 a.m.

FREE

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

Husband questions wife's unusual behavior DEAR ANNIE: I've been married to 'I ily" for 15 years, and we have two teenagers. We 've built a good life.But Lily is an unhappy person. And while I've not been an angel, she never acknowledges that her unhappiness contributes to our problems. She walks around with a chip on her shoulder. Lily is a stay-at-home mom, but she does no cooking and the house is a mess.

she does not want me associating with any kientIs I had prior to our marriage, she regularly entertains her ex-husband (when I'm out of town), dresses up for

She's made it clear that when I want to

speak to her, I need to do it when she's not reading, surfing the Internet or watching TV. Even though I have to get up at 4 a.m., she insists on doing puzzles in bed with the light on. When I return home, she never greets me. I have to go over to the sofa where she is sitting in order to give her a kiss hello, which annoys her because I'm disturbing her TV watching. When Lily is immersed in a project (family genealogy, high school reunion, whatever), she neglects the entire family and sees nothing wrong with it. While

is outrageously jealous of any female I associat ewith,even a colleague. I could barely tolerate this when Lily was on antidepressants, but she stopped a year ago, and things got worse. She'd scream at me and our youngest daughterfornoreason.Shebecame paranoid that I was having an affair and, with no evidence, declared herself a victim of infidelity and asked for a divorce. So I met with a divorce lawyer and

was surprised to hear from a large num-

ber of friends and family who were past targets of Lily's screaming fits and were

willing to say so in court. I've asked Lily to go for counseling, but she refuses. She stopped seeing the last counselor when he said she needed to work on herself. Things have settled down because she's on another project and ignoring us. But I worry about what she's doing to our youngest daughter. Would it be wrong to research how to have her committed? — FRIGHTENED FOR MY GIRLS DEAR F R IGHTENED: T h at seems extreme. Lily sounds severely depressed and possibly bipolar. The right medieation and therapy could do wonders for her, but she has to be willing. Your girls are nearly adults. A better option for you mightbe divorce and custody. A judge could mandate therapy for Lily as a condition of seeing her children. Meanwhile, please eontact the National Alliance on Mental Illness (mtmi.org) for information and referrals. DEARANNIE: I am friends with an

out-of-state couple who visit me briefly twice a year. I've known them for decades, and we share many goodmemories. Since my husband's death, they feel the need to instruct me on how to handle everything in my life, including home maintenance, personal relationships and the brand of computer I use. Whentheyleave,lamexha usted. They mean well, but I am capable and independent. How do I tactfully tell them to butt out? —BAFFLED IN BOSTON DEAR BAFFLED: If you cannot tolerate their intrusive bossiness twiee a year, it's time to say, "I appreciate your concerns, but I'm managing very well, thanks."

Thigh numbness likely due to compressed nerve DEAR DR. ROACH: I am a 65-year-oldmale who has developed a lack of sensation in the lateral &ont half of my right thigh. The numbness involves strictly the skin. There is no loss of strength, function or balance in my leg. My gait is normal, although I find that if I go on a long walk, the skin will begin to "tingle." When I went to an orthopedic surgeon, he suspected that the conditioncould be caused by a disc problem. Although an X-ray did show some stenosis, it was not de6nitive.

IsuspectI caused the problem by yearsofsleeping on my right sidein a curled-up position, resulting in entrapment of the nerve. The orthopedist, however, sayshe generally sees this condition only in obese people, which I am not. How likely is it that my condition is of spinal origin rather than an entrapped nerve? If the condition can resolve itself gradually by avoiding activities that contribute to the problem, what does "gradually" mean? Do stretching exercises help

To Your Good Health Keith Roach, M.D. relieve the entrapment? — J.C.B. ANSWER:What you are describing is meralgia paresthetica, the compressionof the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve, which can be compressed as it passes under the inguinal ligament, exactly as you described. Your orthopedist is correct that this condition is more common

in the overweight or obese; however, I have seen it in both people who are losing weight and people of normal, stable weight. It is more common in conjunction with diabetes, and it has been reported aaer long-distance walking and cycling. Because of the area involved in your numbness, it is very likely to be meralgia paresthetica and not spinal in origin. It does usually resolve, but it d oes so over the course of

months, typically. Stretching would

Income and status are available. Cancer (June 21 July 22):Today is a 7 — Watch out for short tempers. Creativity swirls. It could get chaotic and even frustrating. All does not go smoothly. Results take time to manifest. There's too much instability out there. Limit risk-taking. An unexpected development changes things.

TOdayin hiStOry Today is Friday, Feb. 27,the 58th day of 2015. There are 307 days left in the year. Today's Highlight in History: On Feb. 27, 1933, Germany's parliament building, the Reichstag (RYKS'-tahg), was gutted by fire. Chancellor Adolf Hitler, blaming the Communists, used the fire to justify suspending civil liberties. On thisdate: In 1911, inventor Charles F. Kettering demonstrated his electric automobile starter in Detroit by starting a Cadillac's motor with just the press of a switch, instead of handcranking. In 1922, the Supreme Court, in Leser v. Garnett, unanimously upheld the 19th Amendment to the Constitution, which guaranteed the right of women to vote. In 1943, during World War II, Norwegian commandos launched a raid to sabotage a German-operated heavy water plant in Norway. The U.S. government began circulating one-cent coins made of steel plated with zinc (the steel pennies proved unpopular, since they were easily mistaken for dimes). In 1951, the 22nd Amendment to the Constitution, limiting a president to two terms of office, was ratified. In 1973, members of the American lndian Movement occupied the hamlet of Wounded Knee in South Dakota, the site of the 1890 massacre of Sioux men, women and children. (The occupation lasted until May.) In 1982, Wayne Williams was found guilty of murdering two of the 28 young blacks whose bodies were found in the Atlanta area over a 22-month period. (Williams, who was also blamed for 22 other deaths, has maintained his innocence.) In 1991, during Operation Desert Storm, President George H.W. Bush declared that "Kuwait is liberated, Iraq's army is defeated,"and announced that the allies would suspend combat operations at midnight.

first. Find inspiration in nature. Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):Today is a 7 — Don't be too critical with a friend. Discuss dreams and fantasies. Don't make important decisions. Resolve an issue that's been bugging you. All isn't as it appears. Wait for developments, and take it easy. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):Today is a 7 — It could get frustrating at work. Confusion befuddles a job, and obligations seem too heavy. Don't take anything personally. Reschedule unessential tasks, and release stress with a walk outside. Don't get hung up on the details. Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21):Today is a 6 — Travel and fun call to you, but obstacles slow progress. A possible disagreement about proposed expenditures alters the plan. Upgrade your music system.

Keep an emergency backup. Resolve a practical issue. Hear and be heard. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):Today is a 7 — Stick to short-term needs today. Clean something. Provide services, not cash. Handle your chores. Hide out for a little while. Postpone a romantic interlude, unless it includes lounging. Stay in rather than go out. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20):Today is a 6 — Get lost in a dream or fantasy... swept away by an intriguing plot. Avoid a controversy. Meet criticism with humor. Postpone travel, spending or launching a project. Pamper yourself with a good book or film.

Helen Mirren said, "I prefer the finesse of French humor. English humor is more scathi ng, morecruel ... asillustratedbyMonty Python and Little Britain." Surely the English have not lost their subtle humor. British understatement cannot be a thing of the past, can it? Thisweek, we have been looking atsome deals that might at first glance appear to involve a finesse, but have in fact required leading twice toward the hand with the two honors. Dealer: South Is this another example? South is in three no-trump.West leads the spade queen. How should South plan the play? Faites vos jeux. South starts with seven top tricks: two spades,two hearts,one diamond and two clubs. Obviously, he will have to take three diamond tricks to reach nine. And, it must be admitted, on many deals, starting the suit by leading a sneaky jack from hand will not hurt. First, the suit might split 3-2. Second, that play might gain, when West starts with king-doubleton and fails to cover an honor with an honor. But assuming there is no misdefense, it cannot gain to lead the jack first, and it might cost. Imagine West or East has a singleton king. Or look at today's layout. This is another case of leading twice toward the hand with the two honors. After taking the first trick, declarer should lead a diamond to dummy's ace and return a diamond toward his hand. Here, East will probably play low. South wins with his queen, notes West's discard, returns to dummy with a heart, and leads another diamond through East to get home.
