As Jon and Linda Grant satacross from U.S. Rep. JackieSpeier thanking her for helpingthem escape from Tanzania, it’shard to imagine anyone wouldthink the 72- and 65-year-oldswere capable of anything that

would warrant a 20-year sentencein foreign prison.

But the Foster City couple saidthat’s exactly what they facedwhile trying to navigate a corrupt

court system earlier this y ear and itcost them nearly $70,00 0 to makeit home.

While traveling through Africa,the retired dentis t and hi s wife werethrown into jail and charged withpoaching after they purchasedwhat they th ought, and asked mul-tiple times to ensure, was a legalpiece of artwork made out of a

giraffe bone.But the intricately engraved 18-inch bone bought at a souvenirshop within a wildlife refuge ulti-mately had the unsuspecting cou-

Jon Grant said it’s still hard tobelieve that what he was carryinghappened to be illegal in Tanzania— their final destination after atwo-week cruise and a weeklongsafari in South Africa. And unbe-knownst to them, Tanzania’snational animal is a giraffe.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES — California’s unem-ployment rate was 5.5 percent inFebruary, continuing a slight down-ward trend but remaining higher thanthe nation’s jobless rate as a whole,state figures indicated Friday.

The state added 39,90 0 no nfarm pay-roll jobs, according to a business sur-vey cited by the state EmploymentDevelopment Department.

A smaller federal survey estimatednearly 18 million Californians held

job s last mo nth, an i ncrease of 62 ,0 00from January, the state agency report-ed.

Just over 1 million Californianswere unemployed, a decrease of 36 ,00 0over the month and a dip of nearly207,000 compared with February of last year.

The unemployment rate generallyhas been falling for months except fora slight increase in December to 5.8percent.

The state has added some 2 million job s since it b egan to recover from th erecession in February 2010, when theunemployment rate was at a recession -era high of 12. 4 percent.

However, February’s unemploymentfigure of 5.5 percent was still higher

than the U.S. rate of 4.9 percent,which was unchanged from January.

Construction and four other workcategories added nearly 52,000 jobs

over February. Leisure and hospitali typosted the largest increase, with18,300 jobs.

A loss of 12,000 jobs was reportedin four categories, including govern-

ment and a combination of trade,transportation and utilities.

The Employment DevelopmentDepartment said 388,417 people

received regular unemployment insur-ance benefits in February, comparedwith more than 410,000 a month earli-er. About 42,000 people filed newclaims for unemployment i nsurance.

No clear path to government-lowered drug pricesWASHINGTON — Most Americans support it. Virtually

all o ther developed countries already do it. And the two lead-ing presidential candidates: the government should lowerdrug prices.

But experts say the chances for government action in thenear-term are close to nil. The reasons are familiar: politi-cal gridlock in Washington, pharmaceutical industry influ-ence and the structure of the U.S. health system itself,which l imits gov ernment int ervention.

“There’s no t much they can do, th at’s the sad truth, ” saysIra Loss, of Washin gton Analys is. “They can’t do much sothey’re not gonna do much.”

Looking ahead, a Democratic president with majorit ies inthe House and Senate might be able to pass major pricingreforms. But even if Democrats retake th e Senate this year,Loss and others don’t expect Democrats to regain theHouse.

For now, business in Congress has essentially ground toa halt, as b oth p arties loo k to the November elections toexpand their p ower. But with a majority of Americans favor-ing g overnment action on drug pricing, proposals continueto s wirl around Washin gton .

Fourteen at nuke baseprobed for illegal drug activity

WASHINGTON — Fourteen members of an Air Force unitresponsible for guarding nuclear missiles in Wyoming,

Colorado and Nebraska are under investigat ion for p ossi bleillegal drug activity, including cases involving cocaineuse, defense officials said Friday.

The probe is a fresh blow to a nuclear missile corps thathas been under intense scrutiny in recent years for a stringof lapses in t raining and personal con duct, first revealed bythe Associated Press. The Air Force has said repeatedly overthe past year that it is making significant changes aimed atlifting morale and improving performance.

The investi gation at F.E. Warren Air Force Base, home o f the 90th Missile Wing, near Cheyenne, Wyoming, wasannounced by Gen. Rob in Rand, t he four-star commander of Air Force Global Strike Command.

U.S. government sets recordfor failures to find files when asked

WASHINGTON — The Obama admini strat ion set a recordfor the number of times its federal employees told disap-pointed citizens, journalists and others that despite search-ing they couldn’t find a single page requested under theFreedom of Information Act, according t o a new AssociatedPress analysis of government data.

In more than one in si x cases, or 129,8 25 times, gov ern-ment searchers said they came up empty-handed last year.Such cases con tributed to an al arming measurement: Peoplewho asked for records under the law received censored filesor nothing in 77 percent of requests, also a record. In thefirst full year after President Barack Obama’s electio n, thatfigure was onl y 65 percent of cases.

WASHINGTON — The security ringprotecting Donald Trump includesSecret Service agents, his own privatebodyguards, local police, sometimeseven the Transportation SecurityAdministration. But even that show of force has not halted disturbingepisodes of violence. The only personwho can stop Trump from egging onthe b rawling crowds i s Trump hi mself.

His Secret Service detail is l imited tokeeping Trump safe and the venueswhere he speaks secure. Local lawenforcement officers are there to keep

the peace, along with private security

hired either by thevenues or Trump.

“The SecretService is not theword police,” saidJon Adler, p residentof the Federal LawE n f o r c e m e n tO f f i c e r sA s s o c i a t i o nFoundation, a

union that represents Secret Serviceagents.

Trump denies that he contributes tothe vio lence at events around the coun-try, even though on Tuesday night hepredicted “riots” and “a tremendous

problem” if Republican leaders try to

maneuver the nomination away fromhim. He has said at a rally h e wished hecould punch a protest er in th e face andlonged for the days when someonewho interrupted a rally would be “car-ried out on a stretcher.”

“Our concern is overt acts of threatsto our protected” officials, SecretService Director Joseph Clancy toldCongress on Tuesday. “People havethe right to voice their opinions, andit’s for the host committee to decidewhether or not that’s disruptive to th atevent.”

Agents with the campaign detailonly advise campaign staff or a candi-date about security concerns, Clancy

WEST PALM BEACH, Flori da —Republican presidential front-runnerDonald Trump appeared to be wrappingup a victory speech at his sprawlingMar-a-Lago club earlier this weekwhen he turned to the negative adsflooding the airwaves against him.

Trump recalled being at a p rofession -al golf tournament held at his Miamigolf course recently. Everything was

going smoothly, he said, until one of the ads started playing on TV as heschmoozed with tournament sponsors.

“I’m with these wonderful peoplefrom Cadillac and all these top execu-tives, and I’m saying: ‘Look overthere! Look! Don’t watch it! No, youdon’t want to watch it!”’ Trump said,re-enacting how he tried to distractthem. “I’m saying: ‘Isn’t the grassbeautiful? Look, look . Don’t watch!”’

It was a rare, light moment in anoften heated campaign, but it also

offered a glimps e into the way the bil-lionaire businessman’s campaign hastransformed his day-to-day life. As hecrisscrosses the country, deliveringspeeches at rallies and calling intocable news shows, Trump’s businessventures are never far from his mind.

In recent weeks, Trump has held elec-tion night parties at three of hisFlorida properties: golf clubs inJupiter and West Palm Beach, Florida,and twice at his sprawling Mar-a-Lagoclub nearby.

WASHINGTON — In choo sin g a cen-trist judge with Republican appeal,President Barack Obama hoped to cor-ner GOP opponents who pledge toblock his Supreme Court pick. He alsoboxed in the Democrats vying to suc-ceed him.

For Hillary Clinton, locked in afight for the hearts of progressive vot-ers, Merrick Garland’s nominationpresents a political puzzle. She had nochoice but to embrace the mild-man-nered moderate whom Democrats planto make into a symbol of Republicanobstruction. But she does not want tohold him so close that she angers theparty’s left, wary of Garland and wor-ried the party may end up forfeiting achance to install a more liberal justiceon the court.

Clinton’s dilemma was evident inher campaign’s cautious reaction to

Obama’s choice. Ina statement, shem e n t i o n e dGarland’s “consid-erable experience”both in the judici-ary and in publicservice, his “bril-liant legal mind”

and past achieve-ment of “bipartisansupport and admira-tion.”

But her campaignwould not saywhether she wouldcommit to Garlandfor the long haul,arguing thatRepublicans won’tbe able to sustaindenying the judge aSenate vote.

Clinto n’s campaign said it was unlik e-ly there will still be a vacancy whenshe wins the White House — sidestep-ping the issue of whether she would

nominate him if elected.

It’s a pressingquestion for liberalswho are concernedRepublicans maydelay Garland’sn o m i n a t i o nthrough the elec-

tion — to pleasetheir base — butthen move to quickly confirm the

judge before a new Democratic presi -dent takes office to avoid a more liber-al nominee in 2017.

Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, a lib-eral favorite, addressed those worriesdirectly. Sanders said Thursday that if he won t he White House, he would askObama to withdraw Garland’s nomina-tion so he could make his own choice.

Garland “would not have been mynominee, ” Sanders said in an intervi ewwith the Associated Press, though healso said Garland had an “incrediblystrong judicial record” and he wouldsupport him.

American IS fighter: I made a bad decisionIRBIL, Iraq — The American Isl amic State g roup figh ter

who handed himself over to Kurdish fo rces in no rthern Iraqearlier this week said he made “a bad decision” in joiningthe IS, according to a heavily edited interview he gave toan Iraqi Kurdish television station.

In the TV interview, which aired late Thursday night,Mohamad Jamal Khweis, 26, from Alexandria, Virginiadetailed his weeks-long journey from the United States toLondon, Amsterdam, Turkey, through Syria and finally tothe IS-controlled Iraqi city of Mosul.

Once in Mosul, Iraq’s second-largest city that was cap-tured by the Islamic State in the summer of 2014, Khweiswas moved into a house with dozens of other foreign fight-ers, he to ld the Kurdistan 24 station.

Khweis said he met an Iraqi woman with ties to IS inTurkey who arranged his travel into Syria and then acrossthe border into Iraq. In Mosul, Khweis said he began morethan a month of intensive Islamic studies and it was th enhe decided to try and flee.

“I didn’t agree with their ideology,” he said, explainingwhy he decided to escape a few weeks after arriving. “I madea bad decision to go with th e girl and go to Mosul.”

DHS using unpopularraids to curb border crossings

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration is openlystepp ing up efforts to find and deport immigrants who were

part of the 201 4 surge of illegal crossings b y unaccompa-nied children and families.

The politically fraught endeavor is a follow-through on anearly 2-year-old warning th at thos e immigrants who don’twin permission to stay in the United States would be sentpacking. It comes at a time when Republican presidentialcandidates are pushing for tougher immigration action.

Homeland Security officials have kept a wary eye on theborder since more than 68,000 unaccompanied childrenand roughly as many people traveling as families werecaught crossing the border illegally in 2 014. The effort tostep up enforcement against families and young immi-grants started in the midst of a new flood of such immi-grants.

Previous efforts to curb illegal crossings seemed to workinitially, as the number of children and families crossingillegally dropped about 40 percent between 2014 and2015. But that number started to rise again late last sum-mer. At the same time, the immigration court system faceda backlog of more than 474,00 0 cases.

SEOUL, South Korea — North Koreaignored U.N. resolutions by firing a

medium-range ballistic missile into thesea on Friday, Seoul and Washingtonofficials said, days after its leader KimJong Un ordered weapons tests link ed toits pursuit of a long-range nuclear mis-sile capable of reaching the U.S. main-land.

South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said in a statement that the missile firedfrom a site north of Pyongyang flewabout 800 kilometers (500 miles)before crashing off the North’s eastcoast. It was the first medium-range mis-sile launched by the North since it firedtwo in April 2014, said a South Koreandefense official, requesting anonymityciting department rules.

A senior U.S. defense official said themissile appeared to be a Rodong type

fired from a road-mobile launcher. Thetest violated multiple U.N. SecurityCouncil resolutions that ban NorthKorea from engaging in any ballisticand nuclear activities, said the official,speaking on condition of anonymitybecause he was not authorized to discussthe matter publicly.

The launch came as North Korea con-demned ongoing annual South Korean-U.S. military drills that it sees as aninvasion rehearsal. The two sets of drills are the largest ever, in response tothe North’s nuclear test and long-rangerocket launch earlier this year. One of the drills, computer-simulated wargames, was to end later Friday while the

other, field training, is to continue lateApril.

In recent weeks, North Korea threat-ened pre-emptive nuclear strikes agains tWashington and Seoul and fired short-range missiles and artillery into the seain an apparent anger over the drills andtough U.N. sanctions imposed over itsnuclear test and rocket launch.

PARIS — Beardless, with short-cropped hair and a mild manner, SalahAbdeslam slipped from one world toanoth er as easily as he sl ipped for fourmonths through an international drag-

net.The fugitive who evaded several

close calls with police — until he wascaught Friday in the neighborhoodwhere he grew up — remains perhapsthe biggest mystery among the cohortof men who brazenly attacked Pariscafes and restaurants, a noted concerthall and France’s main sports stadium

on Nov. 13, killing130 people.

He is thought tohave served as thelogistics man, rent-ing rooms, shop-ping for detonatorsand driving at least

one of the killersfrom Brussels toParis. It remainsunclear whether he

was meant t o become an att acker him-self, as a suicide bomber, and whetherhe was a chameleon or a coward.

Abdeslam, 26, is a French citizenwho lived in the Molenbeek neighbor-

hood of Brussels, the l ow-income quar-ter of mainly Moroccan immigrantfamilies and home to most of the atleast nine attackers.

He lost one of his two brothers,Brahim, who blew himself up, and hischildhood friend Abdelhamid Abaaoud,the suspected ringleader of the blood-

bath.Four days after the attacks,

Mohamed Abdeslam, t he th ird brother,said the three siblin gs grew up normal-ly, seemingly content with life inEurope.

“We are an open-minded family. Wenever had any problems with justice,”he said.

NEW YORK — Another stronggain for stocks Friday extended themarket’s recovery from a dismalstart to th e year to a fifth week in arow.

The Standard and Poor’s 500index closed up for the year for thefirst time. The Dow Jones industri-al average turned positiveThursday. Both had been downmore than 10 percent for th e year alittle more than a month ago.

The Dow rose 120.81 pointsFriday, or 0.7 percent, to17,602.30. It is up 1 percent forthe year. The S&P 500 gained 8.9 9points, or 0.4 percent, to2,049.58, and is now up 0.3 per-cent for 2016. The Nasdaq compos-ite picked up 20.6 points, or 0.4percent, to 4,795.65, though theNasdaq remains down 4 percent forthe year.

Stocks had plunged early thisyear as investors feared thatChinese economy, which has beenthe engine of global growth, wasslowing faster than expected and

that China’s slide would be enoughto pull the U.S. economy intorecession.

“The market tended to focus onthe negative and ignore the good”at the start of this year, said LowellYura, head of Multi-AssetSolutions for BMO Global Asset

Management.But over the course of the five-

week rally, reports on hi ring, man-ufacturing and construction spend-

ing showed the U.S. economy isdoing fairly well. Industrial, con-sumer and technolo gy st ocks bene-fited from the more positive out-look in th e U.S. Energy and materi-als stocks climbed as oil and pre-cious metals prices rose.

And this week the FederalReserve said it expects to s low thepace of interest rate increases thisyear. Lower rates make stocks lookmore attractive to investors, and

they help boost economic growthby reducing borrowing costs andreducing the risk associated withstarting or expanding businesses.

The biggest gainers Friday werehealth care stocks and banks, theworst-performing parts of the mar-ket this year. Companies that makeaircraft, machinery and chemicalsalso rose as the dollar fell againstother currencies on hopes that theweaker dollar will b oost their sales

outside of the U.S.

Starwood Hotels climbed $4. 18,or 5.5 percent, to $80.57 after thehotel chain said it accepted a newbuyout offer from a group led byAnbang Insurance Group of China.The bid is worth more than $14 bi l-lion. Competitor Marriott, which

agreed to buy Starwood last year,said it is considering its optionsand noted it has the right to makeanother offer.

Columbia Pipeline Groupclimbed after TransCanada Corp.agreed to buy the company for $10billion, o r $25.50 per share, in anattempt to expand further into theU.S. Columbia Pipeline stockadvanced $1.33, or 5.7 percent, to$24.84.

Health care stocks regained someground after a rough week. Hospi taloperator Tenet Healthcare rose$1.57, or 5.9 percent, to $28.14and prescription drug distributorMcKesson gained $6.62, or 4.4percent, to $158.31. Drug compa-nies also ticked upward after daysof loss es, in cluding Bristo l-MyersSquibb, which rose $1.36, or 2.2percent, to $6 2.83.

Uber balks at rules proposedby world’s busiest airport

ATLANTA — Atlanta’s ai rpo rt —the world’s busiest — is insistingthat Uber drivers get fingerprint-based background checks to pickup passengers, but the ride-shar-ing service is balking at the pro-posed rule.

Officials at Hartsfield-Jackson

Atlanta International Airport thismonth said they were movingtoward allowing Uber and otherride-sharing services — a reversalof a ban on such services fromcurbside pickup.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that Uberimmediately obj ected.

The San Francisco-based com-pany said it would not be pos siblefor Uber to provide reliable andefficient service at Atlanta’s air-port under the proposal.

Uber also said the proposal isout of step with operating agree-ments it h as with dozens of oth erU.S. airports.

Oil company fined $75K forillegal venting in gas zone

LOS ANGELES — An oil and gascompany has been penalized$75,00 0 for secretly venting nat-ural gas in the same SouthernCalifornia area and at the sametime that a utility was trying tocap a massive leak that drovethousands from their homes.

The California Division of Oil,Gas and Natural Resources on

Friday announced the three viola-tions of $25,000 apiece by the

Termo Company.The regulator says the venting

appeared to be intentional and thecompany tried to hide it.

It was only discovered when aninfrared camera on a flyov er of thegas leak noticed the pipe that waspumping it out. The state says theillegal discharge otherwise couldhave gone on indefinitely.

The larger leak in the AlisoCanyon field was sealed lastmonth b y Southern California Gas

Co. after spewing natural gas formonths.

SPOKANE, Wash. — Hawaii won its firstNCAA Tournament game in school history,when the 13th-seeded Warriors ended No. 4California’s tumultuous week with a 77-66upset victory Friday in the first round of theSouth Regional.

The Golden Bears’ played without popularassistant coach Yann Hufnagel, dismissedamid allegations of sexual harassment, andthe loss of leading s corer Tyrone Wallace, whobroke his hand Wednesday in practice. As if the Bears (23-11) needed more obstacles,guard Jabari Bird had back spasms duringwarmups and never played.

The Warriors were 0-4 in their previousNCAA appearances, the last coming in 2002.

Quincy Smith scored a career-high with 19points, Roderick Bobbitt had 17 points andStefan Jankovic 16 for the champions of theBig West Conference regular season and tour-nament. Hawaii (28-5) used a strong first half from Jankovic to lead by as many as 11, then

withstood Jankovic’s foultrouble in the second half thanks largely to Smith.

Smith scored 11 pointsin the second half andkeyed Hawaii’s surge mid-way through afterCalifornia had pulled with-in one.

Jordan Mathews ledCalifornia with 23 p oints.Considering the absences, California need-

ed its healthy stars to be at their best and theyfailed. Jaylen Brown was a miserable 1-of-6shooting, committed seven turnovers andfouled out with 6:2 2 left and the Bears trailingby eight. Ivan Rabb had a double-double with13 points and 12 rebounds, but was houndedon th e interior all game. The Bears were just 3of 19 on 3-pointers, all coming fromMathews.

ST. LOUIS — No. 15 seed MiddleTennessee State sent the biggest shock yetthrough the NCAA Tournament on Friday,shutting down Michigan State star DenzelValentine in a 90-81 v ictory ov er second-seeded Michigan State.

Reggie Upshaw scored 21 points to lead

the balanced Blue Raiders (25-9), whobecame the eighth No. 15 seed to knock off a No. 2 since seeding began in 1985. Thelast time it happened was in 2013, whenFlorida Gulf Coast beat Georgetown on itsway to the Sweet 16.

The Blue Raiders will try to do the sameagainst No. 1 0 s eed Syracuse on Sunday.

“We wanted to win this game as bad asanybody wanted us to win,” said GiddyPotts, who added 19 points for MiddleTennessee State. “We just kept b eing con fi-dent and making shot s at the right time.”

The Spartans (29-6) were a trendy pick towin the national championship after captur-ing the Big Ten’s regular-season and tourna-

ment titles. Part of it had to do with theexperience of Valentine and the sen iors, andpart of it had to do with coach Tom Izzo’spostseason pedigree.

By Terry BernalDAILY JOURNAL STAFF

The defending Central Coast SectionDivision II champion Sacred Heart Prepbaseball team has been looking for some-thing — anything — to kick-start its sea-son.

After losing eight of n ine games to startthe season, the Gators (2-2 in PeninsulaAthletic League Bay Division, 2-8 overall)won a wild one in walk-off fashion Fridaywith a lot of help from visiting Menlo-Atherton (1-3, 4-6). The Bears committed

seven errors in the game, including twofatal errors on th e game’s final play to pro-pel SHP to an 8-7 victory.

With SHP junior Mike York on first baseand two outs in the bottom of the seventhamid a 7-7 tie, No. 9 hitter John Gardnerlifted a shallow pop up to right field thatwas dropped by the second baseman. Thefirst error allo wed York t o advance to t hird,where he initially stopped; but when thethrow back to the infield clipped off thefirst baseman’s g love and trickled into n o-man’s-land, York dashed home to score thegame-winning run.

And as York was mobbed by his team-mates at home plate, it was the first timethis s eason the Gators looked like the teamthat won it all in the Division II bracketlast season.

“This was the first one that reminded meof that team last year that won the CCSchampion shi p, ” York said.

It was a big day for York, who went 1 for2 with an RBI and two runs s cored, with histhird-inning double giving the Gators amuch-needed spark. SHP’s o ffense has fall-en upon hard times thi s season. Even with

STANFORD — At 3:30 a.m. on a brutally coldmorning while leaving the Ukraine, her U.S.teammates already on the bus outside the hotel,Jennifer Azzi stopped for a group of begging,poverty-stricken elderly women and handed out

all of her remaining currency and her extraclothes.Moments later, the rest of the Americans

stepped back off the bus and followed suit.“Everyone, all the players, all the coaches,

just kind of walked by them except forJennifer,” Hall of Fame Stanford coach andthen-U.S. coach Tara VanDerveer recalledFriday. “She’s really a genuine, really specialperson. ... Jennifer thinks of other people alot.”

That moment from early 1996 when she wascoaching Azzi on the Olympic team that wenton to win gold that summer in Atlanta is sti ll sovivid for VanDerveer. She coached Azzi’s All-American career on The Farm, too.

On Saturday, VanDerveer will coach thefourth-seeded Cardinal (24-7) against Azzi’supstart West Coast Conference tournament

champion San Francisco squad (21-11) in theLexington Regional.

“Jennifer was forStanford women’s basket-ball what Steph Curry is forthe Warriors,” VanDerveersaid Friday, sitting in heroffice conference roomwatching the women’s tour-nament and reflecting onAzzi’s time on campus. “Ithink that in some waysthat that team was kind of

the original, ‘Wake up, here’s women’s basket-ball.’ But we’ve got to beat her. We’ve got towin.”

No. 5 seed Miami (24-8) takes on 12th-seed-ed South Dakota State (26-6) in the first gameSaturday afternoon.

VanDerveer recruited sixth-year USF coachAzzi “very hard,” as in she and her staff making20 to tal trips to the Knoxville, Tennessee, areapursuing Azzi back before recruiting limits wereput in place.

“I wondered, ‘Is this player really worth it?”’VanDerveer said. “She put Stanford basketballon the map, with her great teammates. She did-n’t have the same role on the Olympic team thatshe did at Stanford, where she was a starter and a

star. She came off the bench for us. People gaveher some, ‘How come you’re not playing more,starting?’ She’s like, ‘I’m going to win the same

gold medal.’ Honestly, Ican’t think of a bad daycoaching Jennifer.”

There was the day Azzihad a triple-double for theCardinal but they lost thegame and she was “besideherself upset, ‘We need torun more sprints, Tara, weneed to work harder,”’VanDerveer recalled hersaying, along with Azzi’s

request to come rebound for her that Sunday.Another time, even though the coach was so

ill she was throwing up, VanDerveer came andrebounded for Azzi — who always had to make 8of 10 shots from every spot.

“So, this one time she made seven, I go, ‘Ithink that was eight,’ she goes, ‘Nope, that wasseven,”’ VanDerveer said. “I’m like, ‘Come on,move on to the next spot. ”’

Both women have helped make each otherbetter. Azzi learned plenty along the way fromVanDerveer, who is 23 wins from joining for-mer Tennessee coach Pat Summitt as the onlywomen’s coaches with 1,000 career victories.

“I think it will hit Jennifer when she comes

into Maples,” VanDerveer said.The Cardinal are coming off a rare first-roundloss in the Pac-12 tournament.

Not that VanDerveer’s players need any addedmotivation to p lay in the middle of finals week,but she has shared Azzi stories at times.

“I know in the past she’s told us about timeswhen Jennifer Azzi twisted her ankle and wouldstay up all night i cing it so she could play thenext day,” guard Brittany McPhee said. “She’s

just very intense.”

TidbitsWhen Miami lost to Iowa last March for a

berth in the NCAA Tournament’s Sweet 16,Jessica Thomas had already run for the tunnelwhen coach Katie Meier pulled her star playerback to the Hawkeyes’ rockin’ home court towatch the opponent celebrate. That heartbreakand defeat is largely what has fueled theHurricanes to take a bigger step this t ime aroundin the tournament.

“We learn way more from losses and we takemoments like that and that just drives us and wedon’t stop working, ” Meier said. “The team leftand I grabbed her back, I yanked her back ontothe court and said, ‘You stand here and watchthis.”’

Meier compared the way South Dakota State’spost players spread the floor to the Netherlands

team Miami faced during its foreign tour lastyear.

DALLAS — Stephen Curry stole the ballfrom Dirk Nowitzki near midcourt and hit a35-footer to beat the first-quarter buzzer,drawing a huge roar from the typical swarmof the sharpshoot ing star’s fans on the road.

Golden State’s reigning MVP glanced

another 3-pointer off the edge of the back-board from the right corner with the 7-footGerman in his face again in the second quar-ter on his way to 31 points.

Oh, and fellow Splash Brother KlayThompson made 10 of 1 5 from long range tolead the Warriors with 39.

Maybe Dallas coach Rick Carlisle wasn’tcrazy for suggesting the Warriors were big-ger than the Rolling Stones before theMavericks’ 130-112 loss Friday night,prompting Golden State coach Steve Kerr toreminis ce about the Beatles.

“Right now, by NBA standards, this isbigger than the Rolling Stones on tour,”Carlisle said. “Wherever they go, there’s a

mass of people and a huge following. ”And who’s Kerr to argue?“I was on the Beatles back in ’96, so I

guess it’s fitting that I’m now with theStones,” Kerr joked when told of Carlisle’scomments. “Either way, I was just a roadiesetting up the stage for both teams.”

It’s time to take the tour to San Antoniofor a Saturday night prime-time showdown

between t he NBA’s runaway leaders.The game is made all th e more interesting

by Golden State’s 32-game losing streak atthe Spurs, which goes back to Feb. 14,1997, and is the NBA’s longest currentdrought on another team’s court.

The Warriors (62-6) have won sevenstraight and are now two games ahead of Chicago’s pace when th e Bulls set th e NBArecord with 72 wins in 1995-96, while theSpurs (58-10) have won 43 straight on theirhome floor.

Nowitzki h ad 24 po ints for the Mavericks(34-35), who lost for the seventh time ineight games and dropped under .500 for thefirst time since Nov. 11.

BALTIMORE — Balt imore Rav ens corner-back Tray Walker, who played one season inthe NFL, died Friday of injuries from a dirtbike crash in Miami.

His godmother confirmed the 23-year-oldWalker’s death, according to the Ravens.

Walker was riding a Honda dirt bike withno li ghts and wearing dark clothin g when hecollided with a Ford Escape on Thursdaynight, Miami-Dade Police said. He had beenin Jackson Memorial Hospital in criticalcondition.

A fourth-round 2015 draft pick, Walkerplayed in eight games last season, mostlyon special teams.

Ravens coach John Harbaugh wrote a heart-felt letter to his players Friday before Walkerdied. Later, in a statement, Harbaugh said, “Traywas a young man with a good and kind heart. Hewas humble and loved everything about being

part of the Ravens’ team.He loved his teammates —the practice and the prepa-ration — and that showedevery day. .. . I’ll never for-get that smile.”

General manager Ozzie

Newsome, who draftedWalker, said, “Tray was oneof the most humble personswe brought in for a pre-draft

visi t. That was striking. After we drafted him, heand his family were so excited to receive the callthat he was about to become a Raven. It was oneof the calls I will always remember. There wassuch joy for Tray and his family.”

Walker made only one tackle withBaltimore, but he made a lasting impressionon t hose around him.

“Tray was a young man who was full of energy and promise,” quarterback Joe Flaccosaid. “This is very hard to wrap my headaround, and I am devastated.”

While playing in Sacramento’s SleepTrain Arena may be foreign to both theBears and Yellowjackets, both can takecomfort in the fact they are at least familiarwith each oth er.

On the penultimate day of 2015, M-Atraveled across th e Bay to face Berkeley in anon-league matchup. One that s aw the Bearsslip away with a 58-54 victory.

In that meeting, the Bears were led by EricNorton and Lucas Fioretti, who each scored16 points.

Nearly three months later, Berkeley getsits rematch, when the stakes could not bepossibly higher. The Yellowjackets’ run tothe Nor Cal final was nearly as improbableas the Bears’. Berkeley easily handled No.10 Oak Grove in the first round, 67-49. Inthe quarterfinals a week ago, the

Yellowjackets faced No. 2 Jesuit-Carmichael, s tunning the Marauders 62-59 .Against No. 3 Monte Vista-Danville in thesemifinals, the Yellowjackets came awaywith a 64-52 victory.

M-A, meanwhile, knocked off No. 4McClymonds-Oakland (57-53) and No. 1Bellarmine (50-46) to reach it s first Nor Caltitle game since winning the 1989 DivisionII state title.

A lot is made of a team’s home and awayrecords. The thinking being a team must bestrong in th eir own gym as well as deal with

playing an opponent’s court.

But a better indicator would be a team’srecord on neutral courts — those gameswhere neither team has a home-court advan-tage.

When you get the higher levels of theplayoffs, most games are played on neutralsites and both the Padres and the Gauchoshave excelled at neutral sites this season:Serra is 8-2 while El Cerrito is a veryhealthy 11-6.

But there is also something to be said forgetting hot at the right time and theGauchos are riding a hot streak right now.After going just 7-4 in Tri-County AthleticLeague Rock Division and finishing a dis-tant second behind league champ Salesian-Richmond, El Cerrito has won six in a rowsince suffering a 66-62 overtime loss to

Salesian in the TCAL tournament champi-

onship game. The Gauchos went on to winthe North Coast Section Division II cham-pionship, beating a Newark Memorial teamthat has given Serra fits over the years.

El Cerrito then knocked off Vanden-Fairfield and Mitty to advance to the NorCal championship game.

If nothing else, Menlo sh ould have histo-ry on its side. Maybe as a way to give histeam confidence heading into a gameagainst a team ranked 23rd in the state by

MaxPreps.com, Menlo coach John Payereleased this little tidbit: Menlo, as aschool, has never lost a Nor Cal title game,going a perfect 5-0. The 1983 and 1989boys’ teams advanced to the state finals,while the girls’ program won three straightDivision V state championship s from 1989to 1991.

The coach of those g irls’ teams? Paye.And like the Division I final, these teams

have a certain amount of familiaritybetween the two as they met in an early,non-league game at the beginning of

December, a game in which CardinalNewman held on for a 62-51 victory.

But Paye and the Knights will need a lotmore of the present than the past to beat theCardinals . Cardinal Newman has won 16 of its last 17 games, losing only to Salesianin the NCS Division IV title game. TheCardinals rebounded, however, with a pairof blowout wins over the two teams thatwere in the Central Coast Section DivisionIV title g ame: runner-up Scotts Valley (6 1-45) and CCS champ Sacred Heart Prep (69-32).

One may wonder how does an 11-lossteam earn th e No. 1 seed and advance to theNor Cal title game? By playing one of thetoughest schedules around. CountingSaturday’s game, ECP will have played 10games against s even teams who advanced tothe Nor Cal playoffs, including two gameseach against Nor Cal finalists Pinewood(Open Divis ion ) and Menlo School (DIV).

BERKELEY — Jared Goff had finished thescripted part of h is pro day when the ClevelandBrowns made a special request.

Cleveland quarterback coach PepHamilton doused a ball with water and had

Goff make several throws with th e wet foot -ball t o s ee how a California k id would adjustto th e inclement weather in the AFC North i f the Browns choose to pick him secondoverall at nex t month ’s draft.

“Growing up in California, they probablywanted to see that and that makes sense,” Goff said Friday. “At the same time, I’ve played incold weather before and I wouldn’t be the firstquarterback to go from California to coldweather. I think Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgersare doing pretty well. They’re able to do it. ”

Teams considering taking quarterbacks inthe first round of the draft leave few stonesunturned as they consider everything fromgame tape, to interviews to hand size. Muchwas made at last month’s combine aboutwhether Goff’s hands were too small at nine

inches. They measuredone-eighth of an inch big-ger at his pro day atCalifornia.

“They got me a newmeasuring tape that ismade for small-handedpeople I guess,” he joked.

The most pressing ques-

tion about Goff for teamsdeciding if he is worthy of

being a franchise quarterback is the adjustmenthe will have to make from the spread offensehe played in college to a more pro-style attackin the pros.

Goff operated almost exclusively out of theshotgun in his three years at Cal when he setschool records for yards passing (12,200),completions (977) and touchdown passes(96). He improved every season and finishedthis p ast year with career highs of 4,719 y ardspassing , a Pac-12 record 43 touchdown passes,64.5 percent completion rate and a 161.3passer rating.

Goff has spent much of his pre-draft prepara-tion with former NFL quarterback Ryan Lindleyworking on his drop backs from center.

“I felt pretty comfortable with it after a weekor two honestly,” Goff said. “It obviously isgoing to be a transition with actual players outthere. Just doing it under center, I felt verycomfortable with it righ t away. I didn’t have atransition period. It felt pretty natural to me.Obviously there’s a lot of stuff I want to tight -en up.”

Most of his passes at his pro day included

drops from center, including some with play-action fakes, in an attempt to show he has theproper footwork to execute any offense in theNFL.

Goff was mostly accurate in his scriptedworkout, with one notable miscommunicationwhen a receiver went a different way than Goff threw and a few fluttering balls that wereslightly off-target or dropped. He finished withan on-target 40-yard pass that showed off hisdeep arm.

“I felt good overall,” he said. “Finished itpretty well and felt good about it. There arealways going to be a couple, two or three, yo uwant back. I’d like to have zero I’d want backbut that’s hard to ask sometimes. It went well.I was really happy about it.”

Goff performed under the watchful eye of scores of NFL scouts, executives and coaches.He spoke briefly with Cleveland’s HueJackson and San Francisco’s Chip Kelly, twocoaches of teams with top 10 picks in the mar-ket for a quarterback.

Having grown up in the Bay Area and havingplayed his college ball here as well, heacknowledged there would be something spe-cial about playing for the 49ers.

“Growing up as a fan of them that would beawesome,” he said. “But at the same time, I’dbe more than happy to play anywhere and bewith a team or a coach that I want to win gameswith or be very successful with. ”

Cal QB Jared Goff gets tested at pro day

Jared Goff

may bring more scrutiny to Martin’s status

considering the school is already reviewinghis response to Hufnagel’s situation.

The Warriors were 0-4 in their previousNCAA appearances, the last coming in 2002 .

Smith was a big reason why Hawaii was ableto keep Jankovic on the bench for so long.Smith scored eight of Hawaii’s 15 poin ts dur-ing a 6 1/2 minute stretch where the Warriorsbuilt their lead back to as many as 11 after theBears pulled to 47-46 on Kameron Rooks’three-point play with 11:56 left.

Djokovic vs. Nadal set at Indian WellsINDIAN WELLS — Novak Djokovic domi-

nated both tiebreakers to beat Jo-WilfriedTsonga 7-6 (2), 7-6 (2) at the BNP ParibasOpen on Friday, setting up a semifinalagainst Rafael Nadal featuring two playerswho own a combined seven titles in theCalifornia desert.

Nadal defeated Kei Nishikori 6-4, 6-3, con-necting on 89 percent of his first serves inthe match played in 91-degree (32 C) heatunder a relentless sun. Nadal is a three-timewinner at Indian Wells.

Shadows had begun creeping onto the mainstadium court by the time Djokovic outlastedTsonga, who has lost to the world’s top-ranked player in 13 of their last 14 meetings .Four-time tourney champion Djokovicimproved to 20-1 this year heading intoSaturday’s match against Nadal, who is 12-4.

The got sent home without leading a single second in theironly game.

“It’s frustrating, ” Valentine said. “Very frustrating. ”Matt Costello matched a career-best with 22 points for the

Spartans, but it wasn’t enough to offset Valentine’s miserableafternoon. The senior had 13 points and 12 assis ts, but he alsohad six turnovers — one of them coming with the Spartanstrailing 79 -76 and less than three minutes to go .

Michigan State twice had chances to tie the game after that,but Valentine missed an open 3 from the top of the key, andBryn Forbes missed another. The Blue Raiders eventuallyscored on back-to-back runouts to establish some breathingroom, then coaxed the final few seconds off the clock.

Darnell Harris and Perrin Buford scored 15 apiece, and JaqawnRaymond had 11, as the Conference USA champion BlueRaiders won their first NCAA Tournament game since 1989.

Not that they haven’t made a statement before: They beatKentucky in the first round in 19 82.

“Our coach told us if we rebound the ball and get back on

defense we’ll have a big chance to win this g ame,” Potts said.“We played our (butts) off today.”

They never seemed intimidated by the Spartans, either, roar-ing to a 15-2 lead in the opening minutes and slowly gettingthe Syracuse and Dayton fans in the building on their side.

Michigan State chipped away at its deficit but never managedto make an extended run. Valent ine was saddled with two foulsand rendered ineffective most of the way, and the backcourt of Forbes and Eron Harris combined for four turnovers while man-aging a single point.

Valentine’s frustration reached its apex after he committedback-to-back turnovers in the second half. During a stoppage inplay and with the Blue Raiders leading 51-43, Valentine s talkedback to his team’s huddle and proceeded to slam his hand intothe floor.

Michigan State slowly trimmed the lead to 65-64 on a basketby Costello with eight minutes to play, but the Blue Raidersscored on th eir next six trips down floor to hold their lead.

They held onto it the rest of the way, too. It was the first t imethe Spartans, heavily favored to reach the Final Four, werebounced from the tournament in the first round since 2011.

“We just couldn’t make that one play,” the Spartans’ Tum TumNairn said. “That’s the thing about this tournament — tomor-row is not a guarantee.”
