that would increase the current two-

hour parking time limit to three hours on certain streets in the downtown area (see box for full list).

"If it's adopted, it would go into effect when we re-sign the area," said City Administrator Tim Miller.

It could take about 30 days to have the signs made, Miller said. The cost of the new signs would be between $600 and $1,500 depending on size and whether they' re double sided.

City staff is also recommending that the council extend the beginning of the enforcement period to 8 a.m. The current enforcement period is 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.,except forSaturdays,Sundays and holidays.

The city's Parking and Traffic Commission endorsed the changes at a meeting in July.

Customers and business owners in the downtown area suggested loosening the parking restrictions to allow more time for shopping and dining, according to meeting documents.

Also at Tuesday's meeting, the council will review final budget adjustments for the fiscal year that ended June 30.

The city's General Fund — which pays for services such as fire protection, police and public works — ended the fiscalyear with a surplus of$91,294.

Final revenues were about $4.6 million, while expenditures were about $4.5 million. The city's General Fund Reserve ended the year with about $1.9 million.

"We' re maintaining our r eserve balances and ending the year with a balanced budget and a little bit of surplus," Miller said. "It's less about revenues and more about the depart-

HOW TO DESIGN AN FIRE ESCAPE PLAN 1. Sketch the floor plan of your home on a piece of paper.

2. Indicate on the plan all doors, windows and other areas from which you could escape from each room in your home.

3. Draw arrows to indicate the easily accessible exits which will be the primary escape route.

4. With an alternate color, draw arrows to indicate a secondary exit from each room in the home.

5. Choose a location outside the home where family members should meet once they have safely escaped.

Spear said families or households with m u ltiple persons should follow the following steps.

First sketch a floorplan of Source: Cal Fire the house, and identify primary exits such main doors and draw arrows to these "It sounds crass, but places.

Why don't we try staying at home for a bit?

Froma Harrop Generals have marked their operations by putting pins on wall maps of the world. I could do the same for friends and neighbors who have just gotten back from some place and are about to leave for another. They often move in battalions meeting friends or family — who themselves have traveled great distances — in some center of culturaVculinary/scenic excellence.

A few appear to spend fewer nights in their gracious homes than in airport hotels, preparingfora pre-dawn flight out. There may be no place like home, but elsewhere alwaysseems preferable.

Are we to believe that their travels are as fabulous as their Facebook posts suggest?

Note the pictures showing them in some sublime Croatian village, never at overcrowded Gate 42B. The dreaded FOMO — fear of missing out — may contribute to this perpetual need to venture far. Oxford Dictionaries defines FOMO as "anxiety that an exciting or interesting event may currently be happening elsewhere, often aroused by posts seen on a social media website."

The mania for making bucket lists further inflames this angst. The book "1,000 Places to See Before You Die" is the mother of them all.

When someone asks the author, Patricia Schultz, to cite her favorite trip, she responds, "My next one."

Given her mile-long list of destinations, one can well believe Schultz's contention, "It

is rare that I return to a place where I have already been."

How about the quality of time spent traveling? You' ve seen those "36 Hours in Madrid" travel pieces listing four hot restaurants/bars, three markets and two museums in addition to the Prado. The reality is you and a million other tourists racing around the plazasto witness the "relaxed" Iberian culture enjoyed by old Spaniards who themselves never go anywhere.

As for Italy, Schultz raves about the Piazza delDuomo in Parma, adding that one might want to visit the city during the Festival del Prosciutto.

That would knock off two items in one day.

These checklists often seem "a commodificationofculturalexperience,"Rebecca Mead wrote in The New Yorker.

And how deep is the experience? Some of the great sites go almost unseen by tourists using them mainly as picturesque backgrounds for their selfies.

I, too, have fallen into the FOMO trap at times, gulping rather than savoring travel.

Why must the most valuable trips involve being far from home and spending a lot of money? I'm trying to fight back, though.

I' ve made peace with the fact that I will never skydive in New Zealand, heli-ski in Zermatt or bungee jump in the Vanuatu archipelago. I wouldn't mind seeing India's Golden Temple of Amritsar or Victoria Falls in Zambia/Zimbabwe. But if I die before that happens, then I guess I won't see them.

"Leisure" and "vacation" used to be more

or less used interchangeably. Now they' re very different. Non-working days are often devotedto the labor ofearning more badges to placeon the ledger oflife.

Promoting frenetic travel has become a way to profit off Americans' sense of inadequacy. Note how few lists include simple, free things, such as observing a year's worth of full moons — or identifying the trees on your street.

About dying. The greatest regrets of dying people,according to a famous list,focus on personal ties — for example, neglecting old friends. One, importantly, is wishing they hadn't lived the life others expected of them.

As far as we know, none of the interviewees cited not having rafted the Mangoky River in Madagascar or missing out on the fire dance festival in Bhutan's Bumthang District. Not that they might not have been interesting.

We' ve all got something, and there are always going to be people who spot it, and target it.

It isn't a white thing. It isn't a black thing. It isn't a male or a female thing. It's a human thing.

Fortunately, it is also a human thing to be kind, to reach out, to help, to speak up. And it is not only much more common than cruelty, it is a much healthier focus, especially for young people who look to adults for insights about the way to view themselves, others and the world.

This isn't a bout i gnoring "truth" or whitewashing history.

It is about putting truth and history in context. By way of example, within the past month, we saw a young black man shoot three people on live television, and another young black man help three other men bravely

times — when there is such overwhelming opposition — "I just do not like it," should be enough.

There is much more. This is not NIMBY and it is not anti-capitalism — it is preservation of our history and culture and the support of our locally owned family businesses.

This is also about saving our tourist industry. When visitors, especially children, come to Columbia Historic State Park it should be a lifelong memory. But if the first thing they see before they enter the park is a huge department store — well, that would vitiate their memories of Tuolumne County.

All ofthese stories are true.

Which ones do you want to focus on? Which ones do you want your children to focus on? To emulate?

To be quite clear, I am not suggesting that courses in which discrimination is taught, or films that inform about grievous abuses of human rights throughout history, are producing a society of Vester Flanagans. But we need to ask ourselves whether

NEW YORK — Caving to intense Republican lobbying, presidential candidate Donald Trump ruled out the prospect of a third-party White House bid on Thursday and vowed to support whoever wins the party's nomination — a U-turn made easier by his position at the font of the field.

ASHLAND, Ky. (AP) — A defiant county clerk went to

jail Thursday for refusing to issue marriage licenses to gay couples, but five of her deputiesagreed to issue the licenses themselves, potentially ending the churchstate standoff in R owan County, Kentucky.

U.S. District Judge David Bunning said he had no choice but to jail Kim Davis for contempt after she in-

sisted that her "conscience will not allow" her to follow federal court rulings on gay marriage.

"God's moral law conflicts with my job duties," Davis told the judge before she was taken away by a U.S. marshal. 'You can't be separated &om something that's in your heart and in your soul."

Bunning offered to release Davis if she would promise not to interfere with her employees issuing marriage licenses on Friday morning.

But Davis, through her attor-

im a v i s aie

neys, rejected that offer and chose to stay in jail.

Gay and lesbian couples vowed to appear at the Rowan County clerk's office for the fifth time on Friday to see if the deputy clerks would keep their promises. ''We' re going to the courthouse tomorrow to get our marriage license and we' re very excited about that," said April Miller, who has been engaged to Karen Roberts for 11 years.

As word of Davis' jailing spread outsidethe federal courthouse, hundreds of people chanted and screamed, "Love wins! Love wins!" while Davis' supporters booed.

Davis' lawyer, Roger Gannam, said it was the first time in history an American citizen has been jailed for believing that marriage is a union between one man and one woman. He compared her willingness to accept imprisonment to what Martin Luther King Jr. did to ad-

vance civil rights.

"Kim

the best of us and everyone should lament and mourn the fact that her &eedom has been taken away for what she believes," Gannam said.

"Ms. Davis is in an unfortunate situation of her own creation. She is not a martyr.

CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) — The white man accused of killing nine black churchgoers in what authorities said was a racially motivated crime during Bible study will face a death penalty trial, even though not all the victims' families agree with capital punishment, a prosecutor said Thursday.

Solicitor Scarlett Wilson said Thursday that some crimes are just so heinous they re-

quire the most serious punishment the state

found dead of multiple blunt trauma, authorities

can give.

"This was the ultimate crime, and justice &om our state calls for the ultimate punishment," Wilson said, reading a three-minute statement outside her Charleston office. She took no questions.

Wilson filed paperwork saying she would seek the death penalty against 21-year-old Dylann Roof a few hours before her statement. Her reasons: more than two people were killed and others' lives were put at risk.

Roof is charged under U.S. hate crime laws as well, and federal prosecutors haven't decided if they will also seek the death penalty.

Federal authorities have said Roof wrote online of fomenting racial violence and used ra-

Santa Clara County sheriff's spokesman Sgt. James Jensen said the deputies— RafaelRodriguez, 27, Jereh Lubrin, 28, and Matthew Farris, 27remain in custody without bail.

Medical Examiner Dr.

Joseph O' Hara said that Michael James Pipkin Tyree, 31, died of multiple blunt force injuries, "visceral lacerations" and internal bleeding.

Santa Clara County Sherifl' Laurie Smith, her voice breaking and eyes tearing up, a pologized Thursday to Tyree's family and said "the disappointment and disgust I feelcannot be overstated."

She was flanked by 18 uniformed officers, and at least another dozen members of her agency in plain clothes attended a news conference.

She said the three officers, who she called "ac-

cial slurs in a personal manuscript in which he decried integration.

Survivors also told police he used racial insults during the attack.

Wilson said she understands the desire of somevictims' families to forgive Roof and that some do not believe in the death penalty, but she said forgiveness doesn't eliminate the consequences of Roof's actions.

"Making such a weighty decision is an awesome responsibility," Wilson said. "People who have already been victimized should not bear the burden of making the decisions on behalf of an entire community. They shouldn't have to weigh the concerns of other people. They shouldn't have to consider the factsofthe case."

Roof's lawyers did not respond to Wilson's decision.

But Thursday's motion doesn't guarantee the casegoes to trial.In a number of other murder cases in South Carolina, solicitors

have filed notices to seek the death penalty and used them as bargaining chips to get a defendant to plead guilty in exchange for life in prison.

ties they serve.

A senior center, in general, is acommunity space for activities, nutritional and medical,and wellness resources are offered to older individuals.

The average age of people utilizing the spaces tends to be 75, according to the National Council on Aging.

"On a normal day you' ll see exercise programs, and then you' ll see maybe some groups playing cards, some people just drinking coffee working on Wifi, or just chatting. Some come through to check out the thrift store," said Leon Casas Jr., CEO The Tuolumne County Senior Center.

The center at 540 Greenley Rd. in Sonora is run and operated by Sierra Senior Providers Inc., a nonprofit that took over management in 1996.

Funding relies heavily on grants, fundraisers and community donations to cover

an annual budget of around $700,000.

"Duringthe month ofSeptember I want to extend an invitation to the community to make time to drop by the seniorcenter.Mysel for staff would be will to give a tour and let them know the types of services we provide," Casas said.

But events aside, Casas

said the month is an opportunity to create more awareness about and convey the value of the center to the larger community.

'Though it's labeled 'senior center' in many ways it serves the whole community because there's a variety of groupsthat use the facility," said Casas The Master Gardeners and the Sierra Quilt Guild of Tuolumne County both rent rooms for meetings at the center.

The center's slogan is "your center for community, nutrition, education, and activities — so we try to address each of those issues through the things that we do here," said Casas

The event is open to anyone 18 and over. Other card and board games are offered on periodically throughout the week.

Exercise programs like

The assessment has drawn a high level of scrutiny, with many questioning whether the Army is l owering its standardsfor the elite school — which until now was open only to men — while many others have cheered on the female students.

Army officials insisted the standards were not changed in any way.

"Congratulations to all of our new Rangers," Army Secretary John McHugh said in a statement. "Each Ranger School graduate has shown the physical and m ental toughnesstosuccessfully lead organizations at any level.

BRIEFING

3udgesides with Brady,lifts penalty NEWYORK (AP)Tom Brady learned Thursday he will start the season on the field after a judge lifted the league's four-game suspension of the star quarterback for a scandal over deflated footballs, saying he was treated unfairly by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. The league quickly appealed.

U.S. District Judge Richard M. Berman criticized Goodell for dispensing "his own brand of industrial justice" as he found multiple reasons to reject the suspension one week before New England' s Sept. 10 opener against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

The Super Bowl MVP has insisted he played no role in a conspiracy to deflate footballs below the allowable limit at last season's AFCchampionship game, a 45-7 rout of the Indianapolis Colts.

The judge cited "several significant legal deficiencies" in the league's handling of the controversy, including no advance notice of potential penalties, a refusal to produce a key witness and the apparent first-ever discipline of a player based on a finding of "general awareness" of someone else's wrongdoing.

"Because there was no notice of a fourgame suspensioninthe circumstances presented here, Commissioner Goodell may be said to have 'dispensed his own brand of industrial justice,'" Berman wrote, partially citing wording from a previous case.

He said a player's right to know what constitutes violations and what penalties are was "at the heart" of the collective bargaining agreement "and, for that matter, of our criminal and civil justice systems."

"The court finds that Brady had no notice that he could receive a four-game suspension for general awareness of ball deflation by others," the judge wrote.

Goodell said it was necessary to appeal "to uphold the collectively bargained responsibility to protect the integrity of the game."

He called the need to secure the game's competitive fairness "a paramount principle."

However, the huddle was absent a key component of the team. Luke Pinney, a transfer &om Foothill High School who figured to see considerable playing time this season, broke his collarbone on Aug. 28 in a scrimmage vs. Rite of Passage — effectively ending his year.

"He's a leader," said head coach Casey Kester. "It's a big hit to the defense. He was really coming on really strong on the defensive side. He's a ballhawk, arrogant and everythmg you want &om a real good defensive player."

t h e s econd

round this year, 149thranked Petra Cetkovska of the Czech Republic, came up with a winner to extend

the match.

The fourth-seeded Wozniacki failed to convert any of thosechances to close it out and lost 6-4, 5-7, 7-6 (1) to Cetkovska, who had not won a tour-level main-draw

match all season until playing at Flushing Meadows this week "I can only blame myself," Wozniacki said. "You always think back: I should have done this, I should have done that."

She held one match point while ahead 5-4 in the third set, then three more at 6-5 — each time with Cetkovska serving.

"I said,'It's now or never, Cetkovska said, "so I just went for it."

It was a back-and-forlh match that began under the lights and seesawed wildly for 3 hours, 2 minutes, until it finished after midnight as Thursday turned to Friday.

The women combined for 12 breaks of serve.

"I let her play well," said Wozniacki, who has made it all the way to the final at the U.S. Open twice, losing to Serena Williams last year and to Kim Clijsters in 2009.

Wozniacki's exit means only three of the top 10 seeded women are left after two rounds: No. 1 Williams, No. 2 Simona Halep, and No. 5 Petra Kvitova.

This was Wozniacki's thirdsecond-round loss at a major this season, along with the Australian Open and French Open. She made it to the fourth round at Wimbledon.

"Fm o bviously n o t thrilled with the Grand Slam year, that's for sure," the Dane said. "I think I can do much better."

Wozniacki won the first threegames and led 4-2 at the start. Then Cetkovska won seven games in a row

to take the opening set and lead by two breaks in the second.

But Wozniackimade her way back into it, helped by Cetkovska's seeming inability to play well with the lead.

Maybe that's because she doesn't have a whole lot of experience winning lately.

She arrived at Flushing Meadows with an 0-5 record this year, until beating Christina McHale of the United States in the first round Tuesday. A left hip injury forced Cetkovska ofF the tour forabout seven

I am gettinga very good leader at quarterback" Although Kester acknowledges that the passing game with Ziehlke is still a work in progress, the quarterback believes his success running the ball last year vs. Orestimbaone in which he accumulated more than 100 yards and two touchdowns — will enable opportunities in the passing game.

"As we ran the ball last year, that's going to leave a lot of openings in the passing game forus thisyear.I'm excited for that," said Ziehlke. "I feel like we can move the ball on them pretty easily if we execute right and run all our schemes right."

We need to play better defense, but we do know we can move the ball."

Lodi, another upper division school, may give the Wildcats similar problems they faced last week, the Flames run the same offense as Oakdale, and the Mustangs were able to move the ball.

"Lodi is gonna see that film and they run the same offense, so we' re probably gonna see the same kind of plays that exposed our defense last week and hopefully we' ll have an answer for it," Craig said.

But Lodi is not Oakdale and the Wildcats doused the Flames 48-12 last season in front of a home crowd. Sonora rolled up 474 yards compared to the Flames' 205.

'This week, in our opinion, they are a step down from Oakdale, like everybody," said junior starting linebacker/ right guard Killian Rosko.

5 Huskers suspended hr opener against BYU LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Starting linebacker Michael Rose-Ivey and co-No. 1 cornerback Jonathan Rose are among five ¹ braska players suspended for S aturday's opener against BYU. Coach Mike Riley also announced Thursday that tight end Cethan Carter, defensive end Joe Keels and offensive lineman Robby Painter are suspended.

Those three are backups.

Riley had said three weeks ago that five players would be suspended for the first game because of violations of team rules. He said he would wait to identify them until the week of the game.

Riley said Luke Gifford will start in place of RoseIvey at middle linebacker and Josh Kalu will play the first defensive snap at right cornerback.

Escalon is also coming off an opening week loss. The Cougars were defeated 53-34 on the road against Patter-

the fourth consecutive game.

"We' re dealing with injuries," manager Bruce Bochy said. "Hard to give some guys a day who probably need a break. It showed today. I know they' re trying but they' re running on fumes. So

I have to try to find a way to give them all a break here soon."

Gonzalez,who hit a grand slam and a two-run homer in his last two at-bats against Arizona on Wednesday, went deep in the first off Vogelsong in Colorado's four-run first.

The outfielder greeted reliever George Kontos with a shot down the right-field line in the fourth to give Colorado a 9-2 lead. He has 11 RBIs in his last two games.

Gonzalez has 16 career multi-homer games in his c areer, including six t h i s season which have all come since July 24. He doubled in the second and singled in the ninth ahead of Arenado's 34th homer of the season.

Vogelsong (9-11) allowed eight runs — seven earned — and 11 hits in three-plus innings.

"Just a little flat there, missing his spots," Bochy said.

"I got the reverse from Prevost and just hid the ball as long as I could until they started to figure it out," Fulkerson said of his kick return. "I turned the corner and everyone was blocking whom they were supposed too. Eli (McLaurin) was making a great block down the sideline and I just took it to the house."

Fulkerson would find the end zone three more times in the evening, and capped his night with a 54-yard rushing touchdown in the fourth quarter.

Summerville Bears fans (above) show their team pride Thursday during a non-league game against the Mariposa Grizzlies atThorsted Field in Tuolumne.

SANTA CLARA (AP) — Colin Kaepernick donned a red cap and sneakers, offered a quick side hug to third-string quarterback Dylan Thompson, then took his spot on the sideline for the San Francisco 49ers' 14-12 win against San Diego on Thursday night.

The 49ers will go into the regular season with significant questions about their offense after Kaepernick and the first team unit failed to score a touchdown on eight preseason possessions, and they didn't play in this one. Their next test will be in the season openerSept.14 againstMinnesota.

"We needthe practice tim e instead ofgoing out there today," coach Jim Tomsula said. "Coming into this for five or six plays, I thought it would be better if we were able to get to 45 or 47 plays yesterday and then be abletogetthoseagain tomorrow."

Bruce Ellington showed he appears back to full strength following a right hamstring injury, while former Australian rugby league star Jarryd Hayne made his case for a spot on the 53-man roster.

Ellington caught a 70-yard touchdown pass on the third snap of the game when he ran about 65 yards following a quick slant.

The Niners then converted a 2-point conversion to Quinton Patton.

Hayne carried10 ti mes for 58 yards, caught a pair of passes for 17 yards, and ieturnedthreepuntsfor43yards.

Tyrell Williams caught a 63-yard touchdown pass &om Brad Sorensen in the fourlh quarler, but the Chargers missed the 2-point conversion to tie the game.

"We've got some great receivers,so Ijust hope good things come &omit,"Williams said.

San Diego's Richard Crawford had a 29yard interception return for a touchdown in the second quarter. He picked off a pass by Thompson by jumping in &ont of DeAndrew White, while Cordarro Law came untouched at Thompson through the sixond-team Niners offensive line.

White took a punishing hit &om Adrian Phillips re~ a p u n t 34 yards late in the

night and it feels great."

"Nathaniel is th e soul of the team r ight now, both 0 and D," said Bears head coach Sean Leveroos. ''When he talks, others listen. But he doesn't work alone. The offensive line, 'Team Beef' did some moving up front to allow him to run that way. But, when he runs, he runs with intentiontogetyardage. He falls forward and fights for every yard he gets."

R odgers finished t h e night with 173 yards and two scores and no interceptions. His second touchdown pass was a perfectly placed ball to JT McCready.

McCready got behind the defender and scored from 24 yards out.

"As soon as I broke down I just took a look at the corner and he bit hard," McCready said. "I went right over the

top and it was there."

Jacob Hegger got into the scoring action, pounding the ball from three yards out forhis first score of the

season.

"Scoring 70 doesn't happen often," Leveroos said.

"It's a big deal. And it wasn' t a cheap 70. Sometimes you get some stuff and Mariposa wasn'ttrying to let it happen. We even got some two's and three's in there to contribute to that. It was a goodteam effort."

Chargers backup quarlerback Kellen Clemens was 10 of 17 for 64 yards.

Ellington had a punt return of approximately 60 yards called back for a penalty.

While Ellington would like to be the punt returner again, he said of Hayne, 'He can help us a lot."

Some observations &om the game: MR. AUSSIE: Hayne made a pretty cutback on a 19-yard run late in the third quarter. On a 12-yard catch a few plays later, Hayne didn't budge when Lowell Rose tried to make a tackle on the sideline. Hayne just lowered his shoulder as the defender went down. That had his mother and sisters in smiles as they watched &om the stands at Levi's Stadium.

"Jarryd's a tough guy," Tomsula said.

Hayne also had a tackle on Javontee Herndon when he beat a double-team on return coverage. Late in the game, Hayne had his firstfair catch so far,as instructed.

Tomsula said Sunday on the heels of a loss at Denver that he had seen eve~ he neededto evaluate Hayne, who emerged through a strong training camp as a contender to make the 53-man roster, which will be announced Saturday.

Employment

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 call Pam Orebaugh 588-4546 or e-mail orebau h@uniondemocrat.corn

Colorful past not worth ending relationship DEAR ANNIE: I' ve been in a relationship for five years with a guy who has been very enjoyable company.

with celebrities. You said this isn't uncommon and to ask him to spend 15 minutes a day looking into each other's eyes and listening to one another.

Your advice was a bittoo so@ for this guy. His obsession is one of the shallowest things I' ve heard in a long time.

He sounds like someone who needs to get a life, which should include his wife.

Thisbehaviorneeds to be stopped cold turkey, not enabled. It's like an addiction. And it makes a poor substitute for the real things in life. Devoting so much of his time to something as emptyas celebrity gossip is a sign that something's missing. This man may need help to focus on the special someone who cares who he is — his wife. — REGULAR PERSON IN PHOENIX DEAR PHOEMX W e a g r ee that a fixation on celebrities is ridiculously shallow, but have you looked atyour TV, computer and

newspaper lately?We are bombarded daily with celebrity news, celebrity updates, celebrity babies, celebrity divorces, celebrity clothes — there'sno escape from it unless you live in a cave.

This is a mild addiction (and we suspect most women whose

husbands areaddicted to golf or fishing would swap in a heartbeat).

Ifherhusband can spend at least 15 minutes a day really connecting with his wife, it will help enormously. If he cannot do that much, counselingis always useful, but he must be willing to go.

Are genes responsible for macular degeneration?'

DEAR DR, R OACH: When my daughter was pregnant, she was tested for blood abnormalities and was told she has factor V Leiden and PAI-1 4G/5G. She suggested that I be tested, because with my firstborn I had an emergency C-section for hemorrhaging due to placenta abruption, and with her I had pelvic thrombophlebitis.

I did go to a hematologist, who said he feltI should not be tested because at 65 I am no longer of child-bearing age and had no problems during any post-birth surgeries, and current hospital procedures would be certain to monitor for bloodclots,etc.

RecentlyIwent to the eye doctor and was diagnosed with wet age-related macular degeneration, as well as having mild cataracts. I think these concerns have to do with blood vessels bleeding behind the eye. I wonder if either of the two blood abnormalities contributes to the wet macular degeneration, which I understand is the worse of the two types and is far less common than the dry. I was told not to take vitamins at this time, but I did buy some vitamins designed for the

Can you please give me your thoughts on this? I am really disheartened about my vision concerns.— Anon.

ANSWER Yours is a complex story with two main issues: Do you need to be tested for Factor V Leiden and PAI-1 4G/5G;and how should your macular degenerationbe treated?

Both factor V Leiden and plasminogen activatorinhibitor 4G/5G are variants of normal genes, and their presence increases risk of abnormal blood clotting. This is particularly the case in pregnancy. Given your daughter's genes and your history of blood clots in the pelvic veins, I think it' s pretty likely that you have at least one of these conditions. However, even if you

DEAR DR ROACK I have noticed that the medical profession uses a number of standard words in difFerent ways.

For example,"negative" is usually good, and "positive" often is bad news. — N.M.G. ANSWER: It's true that we in medicine use words differently than they are used conversational ly. "Negative" and "positive" are examples: We would like the biopsyto be negative for cancer,and if the HIV test is positive, that's not good.

Doctors also use the word "complaint" to describethe patient's chief concern; it's not that we think people are being annoying.

Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible. Readersmay email questions to ToYourGoodHealth@med.cornell.edu or OP1111011.

How does macular degeneration fit in?

Simplified, the abnormalities in the blood vesselsbehind the eye seem to have to do with genetic difFerences in the inflammatory pathways, particularly in a gene called complement factor H. People with abnormalities in this gene are predisposed to inflammation in the eye. Inflammation leads to high levels of a molecule called VEGF-A, which is responsible for causing the abnormal blood vessels.

Whether you have factor V Leiden or PAI1 4G/5G shouldn't affect the progression or treatment of AMD. Treatment of wet-type AMD usually consists of inhibitors to VEGF (a prescription medicine) and a particular regimen of antioxidant vitamins. I don't know why your eye doctor isn't starting you on treatment. I suggest that you get a second

4K5 Adrienne Rich, a poet and essayist who East died in 2012, said, "Pride is a tricky, glorious, 483 4 K9 4 double-edged feeling." ln bridge, bidding decisions can be tricky — V A 9 5 4 2 V Q8 7 as in this deal — and there are 13 tricks in the I 1 0 9 8 5 I AKQ 4 2 play. What do you think of this auction? How + 8 3 475 should the play go in five clubs after West South leads the diamond 10? Did West have a more 4 A Q5 effective opening salvo?

But he thought that Dealer: North unlikely given his heart void. West might have Vulnerable: Neither raised diamonds. Then North had a tricky deci- s pgth + e s t N p g h E a st sion. With 5-5 in the majors and the useful p Pass club king, she did not want to pass, but had only eight points. What would you have done?

I think North should have bid two spades, the higher-ranking of two five-card suits first.

Opening lead: I 10 Ifshe had, maybe she would have ended in four or more spades. Note that six spades fails if East, after cashing the diamond ace, shifts to a heart.

North, though, preferred to show her stronger suit. Then South bid what he hoped he could make.

East won the first trick with his diamond queen and shifted to a trump. Declarer won inthe dummy, played a spade to his queen, trumped a diamond, ran the spade jack, ruffed a heart, drew trumps, and took 11 tricks, losing two diamonds.

West would have done better to lead a trump, which would have killed the contract — but that was tricky to find.

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.

Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale.
