cation assistance program for those facingunjust evictions or steep rent increases.

But a long-awaited example of the lesscontroversial suggestion to alleviatedemand by in creasing supply is more quiet-ly unfolding as San Mateo seeks an afford-able housing developer to help constructbelow-market-rate apartments on a city-owned 1-acre sit e at Bay Meadows.

The massive 160-acre transit-oriented

development and home of the former racetrack off Highway 101 , is well in to Phase IIwith office buildings , retail s pace and hous-ing units completed or under construction.

As part of the negotiated developmentterms approved in 2008, San Mateoreceived a 1-acre site on which it co uld buildan affordable housing complex.

On Tuesday, the city released a request foraffordable housing developers to submit

their qualifications and proposals as SanMateo seeks a partner to create up to 68rental units geared toward very low-incomefamilies.

The plan is to construct a mix of one-,two- and three-bedroom units for thosemaking up to 50 percent of the area’s medi-an income at the site, which is nestled next

Millbrae officials are seeking input fromengaged residents interested in contribut-ing to the development of policies designed

to craft the future of the community.The Millbrae City Council is set to host a

community workshop Mon day, April 11, todiscuss updates to the city’s general plan,the master document which will g uide pol i-cy decisions over coming years.

Councilman Wayne Lee said th e perspec-tive of residents is integral to ensure offi-cials are able to consider a wide variety of opinions representative of the entire com-munity before taking action.

“We don’t want five people, the CityCouncil, to dictate the future of Millbrae,”he said. “We want many people to dictatethe future of Mil lbrae.”

During the upcoming meeting, officialswill gather perspective from residentsregarding t he city’s best qualities, as well asopportunities for improvement, according

to a city report.Decisions regarding housing develop-ment, public safety, transportation, budgetpriorities, capital improvements and a vari-ety of other key issues will be generated bythe direction from the general plan, accord-ing to th e report.

This is the second meeting officials haveheld since the general plan update processbegan last month, but Lee said the upcom-ing session will be more focused on theopinion of residents.

“This is going to be much more commu-nity focused,” he said.

The initial step toward addressing thegeneral plan update began with a jointmeeting Tuesday, March 15, between theCity Council and Planning Commission.

Community Development Director TonyaWard said, in an email, the upcoming meet-

ing is a chance for the community to partic-ipate in the city’s planning process.

“The purpose and goal of th e workshop isto have residents share their view on thecommunity’s major issues and opportuni-ties, and to start developing a v ision for thefuture of Millbrae,” she said. “This work-shop will begin the city’s two-year processto update the existing 1998 general plan.

The general plan is a long-range planningdocument that will look ahead to 2040.”

The initiative marks the second compre-hensive overhaul of major planning docu-ments officials have taken on in recentmonths, as the council recently updated the

Millbrae Station Area Specific Plan, whichlaid the groundwork for development i n th earea surrounding t he city ’s Caltrain and BayArea Rapid Transit Station .

The station area plan update, approved inFebruary, allows development of homes,offices, retail space and possibly a hotel inthe 116-acre site near the intersection of Millbrae Avenue and El Camino Real, thecity’s gateway from Highway 101.

But officials agreed to first address thestation area specific plan, said Lee, due topressure from developers in a rush to pro-pose projects for construction in the areanear the train station.

“The general plan sh ould have been donea while ago,” said Lee. “But we didn’t havecontrol of that timeline.”

Lee and Councilwoman Gina Papan vo tedagainst approving the station area specificplan.

Lee said he hoped the general p lan updatewould be a more organic process guided byofficials, but informed by residents.

“Let’s get the input of what issues areimportant to the community,” he said.

As the city’s demographics continue toshift, and an older population ages outwhile young families join the community,Lee said it is imperative for residents whowill live in Millbrae for the next fewdecades to contribute to the conversation.

“Everyone has different needs, and thoseare the trends that we are seeing, ” he said.

The general plan is not relevant strictlyto city residents, said Lee, as many mem-bers of the communities across San MateoCounty travel to Millbrae while accessingthe public transportation hub.

Lee said he would also app reciate opinio nof residents from other cities who may beable to sh are a broader regional p erspectiveon ho w to improve Millbrae going forward.

“It’s not like this is just a Millbraeissue,” he said.

The community workshop will begin 7p.m., Monday, April 11, in the ChetcutiRoom, 45 0 Poplar Ave.

Millbrae general planupdate gets underway

Deal that averted strikecalls for 10.5 percent raises

SAN FRANCISCO — A salary agreementthat forestalled an unprecedented facultystrike at the California State University’s23 campuses would increase salaries by10.5 percent over three years and doublehow long it takes newly hired instructorsto be eligible for retirement benefits, uni-versity and union officials said Friday.

The tentative deal between the 26,000-member California Faculty Association andthe nation’s largest public university sys-tem represents a compromise and comes asbot h si des girded for an unprecedented five-day work stop page next week.

Union members and the university’s go v-erning board still must approve the con-tract, which would cost about $200 millionto implement, s ystem Chancellor TimothyWhite said in an interview with theAssociated Press.

Money the university did not spend onfaculty raises this year while contractnegotiations dragged on and funds alreadybudgeted for anot her increase next year willcover more than half of that cost, Whitesaid. Both Cal State and the union would belobbying lawmakers and the governor formore funding to underwrite the rest.

 Justice Dept. gives Congressdocuments on Fast and Furious

WASHINGTON — The JusticeDepartment said Friday that it h ad given to

Congress additional documents related tothe botched gun-smuggling operationknown as Fast and Furious as part of ayears-long court dispute.

The Obama administration had for thelast four years refused to provide therecords to House Republicans, invoking aclaim of executive p rivilege.

But a federal judge in January mostlyturned aside that argument, saying a blan-

ket assertion of executive privilege wasinappropriate s ince the Justice Departmenthad already disclosed through other chan-nels much of the information it had soughtto withhold.

Experts caution self-drivingcars aren’t ready for roads

WASHINGTON — Self-driving cars aremore likely to hurt than help public safetybecause of unsolv ed technical i ssues, engi-neers and safety advocates tol d the gov ern-ment Friday, countering a p ush by inn ova-tors to s peed government approval.

Even a trade association for automakerscautioned the National Highway TrafficSafety Administration that a slower, moredeliberative approach may be needed thanthe agency’s aggressive plan to p rovide its

guidance for deployin g th e vehicles in justsix months. The decision to produce theguidance was announced in January andofficials have promised to complete it byJuly.

A man with ties to an international invest-ment firm is s uing Belmont and a local waterutility for more than $1 million allegingmunicipal officials ruined his plans to

develop four single-family homes in thehills.

Samir and Rafia Shaikh filed the lawsuit inSan Mateo County Superior Court Tuesdayalleging Mid-Peninsula Water District andthe city are responsible for negligence,trespassi ng, fraud, nuisance and more.

The Shaikhs own four lots off BelmontCanyon Road just south of Ralston Avenuenear State Route 92, where they’d hoped toconstruct homes on the primarily vacantland. The duo purchased the site that wasbeing foreclosed on, “as is” from Springleaf Financial Services Inc. in 2012 for$38,0 00, according t o th e lawsuit.

In the years since, the Shaikhs claimthey’ve had to pay for failing pipes runningunder their land while district and cityemployees trespassed on their property toaccess gates and pipes. A Mid-Pen watertank may be bordering the site.

According to the suit, the defendantsimposed easements and encroached on theproperty with ph ysical barriers and employ-ees frequently using t he site to access pipes.

“Defendants’ acts of trespass caused soiland hillside erosion, damage to the fence,vegetation and impaired the suitability toPlaintiffs’ intended purpose (developmentplans),” according to the suit. “Defendants’chronic and future use of the l and will exac-erbate this damage caused to th e land.”

City Attorney Scott Rennie said the cityof Belmont had not yet b een served with thelawsuit as of Thursday afternoon. While hecouldn’t comment on pending litigation, hequestioned whether the city had any part in

the matter as the pipes do not belong to

Belmont. Rennie confirmed property own-

ers are typically responsible for maintain-ing the water or sewer lines running undertheir land.

Samir Shaikh said he had no further com-ment on the lawsuit at this time.

Samir Shaikh is listed as cofounder andCEO of Rahmat International, a firm head-quartered in Redwood City with a corporateoffice in Pakistan. According t o its websit e,its subsidiary Rahmat Investments wasfounded in 2008 to consolidate its realestate holdings in the United States andPakistan. It lists experience in real estateacquisition, development and marketing.The company also has a multi-decade histo -ry in manufacturing marble and onyx til es inPakistan and selling them in the UnitedStates, according to its website.

According to the suit, the Shaikhs bought

the site “as is” from the financial servicegroup that noted it had no knowledge of theproperty, didn’t disclose the easements butadvertised it as a “lot where one could placehouses on the hills with views.”

The Shaikhs claim they’ve been unable todevelop the site having faced significantcosts to repair defective pi pes th at run underthe property and that the easements dimin-ish its value. They also allege the defen-dants agreed, but failed to remove the ease-ments after the Shaikhs paid an undisclosedamount to fix the pipes, according to thesuit.

They’re now seeking at least $1 millionin general damages, $100,000 in specialdamages as well as punitiv e damages, att or-ney fees and more, according to the com-plaint.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — SpaceXresumed station deliveries for NASA onFriday, and in a double triumph, successfullylanded its booster rocket on an ocean plat-form for the first ti me.

The unmanned Falcon rocket soared into aclear afternoon sky, carrying a full load of supplies for the International Space Stationas well as a futuristic pop-up room.

After sending the Dragon capsule on itsway, the first-stage booster peeled away.Instead of dropping into the Atlantic like

leftover junk, the 15-story b ooster steered toa vertical touchdown on the barge, named “Of Course I Stil l Love You.”

Hundreds of SpaceX employees gatheredoutside the company’s glassed-in missioncontrol in Hawthorne, California, cheeredwildly, jumped up and down, and chanted,“USA, USA, USA!.”

“Absolutely incredible,” said a SpaceXcommentator. “The crowd is going a little

nuts here, as expected.”Although the company managed to land a

spent booster rocket at Cape Canaveral inDecember, touchdowns at s ea had proven elu-sive, with several attempts ending in explo-sions on the floating barge. SpaceX’sfounder Elon Musk wants to ultimately reuserocket parts to shave launch costs.

This marks SpaceX’s first shipment for thespace station in a year. A launch accidenthalted cargo flights last J une.

The Dragon and its 7, 000 pounds of freight— including th e attention-grabbing p ayload— should reach the space station Sunday.

Bigelow Aerospace is providing theexpandable compartment, which swells tothe size of a small bedroom. It’s a testbed fororbiting rental property that the Nevadacompany hopes to launch in four years, andalso for moon and Mars habitats.

Traffic has been heavy lately at the 260-mile-high complex. NASA’s other commer-cial shipper, Orbital ATK, made a delivery atthe end of March, then Russia just last week-end.

WASHINGTON — In any other electionyear, more than half the country holding anunfavorable impression of a candidate forpresident would be cause for alarm.

This is n ot a no rmal year.Fifty-five percent of Americans say they

have a negative opinion of Democraticfront-runner Hillary Clinto n in the latest AP-GfK poll. But that’s not nearly as bad as howthey view the leading candidate for theRepublican nominatio n, Donald Trump. His

unfavorable rating stands at an unprecedent-ed 69 percent.

The negative feelings for both are a har-binger of a general election contest that’sshaping up to be less about voters support-ing the candidate of their choice, and moreabout their picking the one they dislike theleast.

“I don’t really feel like either one is thattrustworthy,” said Devin Sternadre, 2 6, a stu-dent from northeastern Ohio. “Most of theelections that have happ ened in the past I’vefelt strongly about a candidate, and I justdon’t this time.

“But yeah, if it was held today I guess Iwould vote Clinton,” he said, with a deepsigh. “I just wish t here were more choices.”

Democratic strategists say Trump’s deepunpopularity has alleviated some of their

concern over views of Clinton. While 55percent of Americans have a “somewhat” or“very” unfavorable impression of the formersecretary of st ate, th at’s about the same num-ber as those who have a “very unfavorable”opini on o f Trump.

Clinton’s rating is also slightly betterthan Republican candidate Ted Cruz: Fifty-nine percent say they have an unfavorableview of the Texas senator. Clinton’sDemocratic p rimary riv al, Bernie Sanders, isat just 39 percent unfavorable, but he trails

far behind Clinton in thedelegate battle for theDemocratic nomination.

Asked if she needed toimprove her publicimage, Clinton toldreporters Friday that shehas worked to win overvoters in the past, aswhen she ran for Senatein New York.

“Just remember, when I was secretary of state my approval rating was the highest of any public official. Now what’s the differ-

ence? Whenever I’m doing a job, peopleapprove of my job. When I seek the job,when I compete for the job, then there’s abig rush by, you know, Republicans andinterests who don’t agree with my values andmy vision for the country, to just pile on,”Clinton said. “I’ve been there, I know that,I’m not worried about it. ”

As the campaign moves toward the gener-al election, Democrats argue, the dynamicwill shift from being a referendum onClinton’s character to a choice between herand a Republican opponent. If thatRepublican is Trump, Democrats see anopportunity to unify their own party behindClinton and make inroads with in dependentsand Republicans.

Nearly half of all registered voters saythey would at least consider voting for

Clinton, far more than say they are open tovoting for Trump. Sixty-three percent saythey definitely wouldn’t vote for Trump in ageneral election.

Thirty-eight percent say they definitelywould not vot e for Vermont Sen. Sanders.

Even in more historically conservativeSouthern states, where Trump swept the GOPprimaries, voters are somewhat more likelyto say they would at least consider Clinton.Half say they are open to her candidacy, and39 percent to his.

LAS VEGAS — Ted Cruz has hundreds of influential Republican donors and Jewishleaders all to himself this weekend in LasVegas as he addresses t he Republican Jewish

Coalition.Cruz’s rivals for the GOP presidential

nomination, Donald Trump and JohnKasich, declined invitations to attend — apuzzling move in p articular for Trump as h etries to project himself as a party unifierwho deserves the Republican nominationeven if he falls short of winnin g enough del-egates in the primaries to clinch it outright.

Trump had no clear scheduling conflict,with no public events this weekend until aRochester, N.Y. rally Sunday afternoon .

It’s a “missed opportunity” for Trump tobuild on a well-received recent speechbefore the American Israel Public AffairsCommittee, said Abbie Friedman, an RJC

board member who in tro-duced Trump when hespoke to the Republicangroup in December.“With Cruz coming in,he’ll have the entire plat-form to himself to winsupport from an incredi-

bly powerful and impor-tant group.”

The RJC is funded bythe top political donor of 2012, SheldonAdelson, and meets at the billionaire’sVenetian casino resort on th e Strip.

Trump declined an invitation to attend aprivate dinner at Adelson’s home Thursdaynight with the Republican JewishCoalition’s board, according to people withdirect knowledge of the invitation whoweren’t authorized to sh are the details ab outthe event. Trump decided not to attend thedinner even before he canceled a West Co asttrip that he’d planned for Thursday andFriday.

WASHINGTON — A day after a heatedexchange with protesters, Former PresidentBill Clinton is offering a near-apology forhis behavior at a campaign event for hiswife, Hillary Clinton.

Bill Clinton told supporters in Erie,Pennsylvania on Friday that he likesprotests but it “bothers” him when theactivists drown him out.

“So I did something yesterday inPhiladelphia. I almost wanted to apologizefor it, but I want to use it as an example of the danger threatening o ur country,” he said.

Bill Clinton said Americans need to beable to have conversations, even when they

are angry — a standard hefailed to meet onThursday afternoon withthe protesters.

“I realized, finally, Iwas talking past her inthe way she was talkingpast me. We got to stopthat in this country. Wegot to listen to eachother,” he said.

The handful of protesters at the HillaryClinton presidential rally were objecting towelfare reform and gun violence laws passedwhen he was in office 20 years ago. Theystood in the crowd holding signs reading“Clinton crime bill destroyed our communi-ties” and “Welfare reform increased poverty.”

Bernie Sanders talks to reporters in New York City.

By Ken ThomasTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON — Democraticpresidential candidate BernieSanders said Friday he will att end aVatican City conference on social,economic and environmental issuesnext week, making the symbolicoverseas trip ahead of a pivotal NewYork primary against HillaryClinton.

The Vermont senator has l ongbeen an admirer of Pope Francis onissues of wealth inequality and social

 justice and his presentation to thePontifical Academy of SocialSciences on April 15 will allow him

to reach a larger audience of Catholicvoters in New York four days before

the primary. Sanders trails Clintonamong delegates and the New Yorkcontest is an important step in thesenator’s ability to gain groundagainst the former secretary of st ate.“The moral imperative that (thepope) is bringing to this discussionis absolutely extraordinary andabsolutely what the world needs.These are issues that I have beendealing with for years,” Sanders saidin a phone interview with theAssociated Press.

“On economic issues, on issuesof poverty and income and wealthinequality, the issues of makingsure we address the needs of thepoorest people of this planet, this

is something that the pope and I arevery much on the same page,”

Sanders said. It was not clear yetwhether Sanders, the first Jewishcandidate to win a presidential pri-mary, would meet with the p ope dur-ing his trip. Sanders spokesmanMichael Briggs said “if the oppor-tunity arises he would be delightedto meet with the pope” but Sandershas not received an official invita-tion from the Catholic leader.

Attendees of the conference willinclude Presidents Evo Morales of Bolivia and Rafael Correa of Ecuador, along with Cardinal OscarRodriguez Maradiaga of Honduras, amember of the academy, andColumbia University professorJeffrey Sachs, an adviser to the

United Nations on environmentaland sustainability issues.

NEW YORK — A surge in theprice of oil sent energy compani eshigher on Friday, but U.S. stocksgot only a small boost overall asretailers suffered big loss es.

Stocks rose in morning tradingas oil p rices climbed, and the DowJones industrial average jumpedmore than 150 points early on.Retailers skidded as investorsworried about reports from Gapand L Brands. Biotech drugmakersreturned some of their gains fromearlier in th e week.

Oil prices climbed about 7 per-cent this week as the dollar gotweaker. The price of oil has see-sawed as investors hope energyproducing comp anies will cut pro-duction. Experts aren’t sure thegains will last.

“If this fizzles out in a week orso I think you could see oil pricesroll over,” said Steve Chiavarone,

associated portfolio manager forFederated Investo rs.

The Dow picked up 35 poin ts, o r0.2 percent, to 17,576.96. TheStandard & Poor’s 500 index rose5.69 points, or 0.3 percent, to2,047.60. The Nasdaq compositeindex eked out a gain of 2.32

points, or less than 0.1 percent,to 4,850.69.

Benchmark U.S. crude rose$2.46, or 6.6 percent, to $39.72 abarrel in New York. Brent crude,used to price international oils,gained $2.51, or 6.4 percent, to$41.94 a barrel in London.

ConocoPhillips picked up 92cents, or 2.3 percent, to $41.23and Murphy Oil advanced $1.25,or 5.1 percent, to $25.69.

Oil prices recovered this week,and Chiavarone said that’s partlybecause the Federal Reserve isstressing that it will raise interest

rates slowly. That makes the dol-lar weaker, and investors thinkthat means demand for oil will goup.

Gap said all three of its majorchains saw their sales drop inMarch, and added that levels of product inventory are high, which

could lead to big ger discounts thatwill hurt its profits. Meanwhile LBrands said it will restructure itsVictoria’s Secret brand and elimi-nate about 20 0 corporate jobs.

Gap plunged $3.83, or 13.8 per-cent, to $23.85 and L Brandsstock lost $3.65, or 4.3 percent,

to $8 0.50. The companies’ state-ments and their loss es hurt compa-nies that sell everything from ath-letic apparel to handbags towatches to department storechains. Macy’s gave up 94 cents,or 2.3 percent, to $39.68. UnderArmour lost 87 cents, or 2 per-

cent, to $43.54.Analyst Simeon Siegel of 

Nomura Securities said Gap and LBrands b oth reported decent sales,and their problems don’t suggestbig t rouble for retailers in gen eral.

“Everything gets lumped intogether,” he said. He added that

retail stocks have made big gainsrecently. “For the past few weekswe’ve had this i ncredible rally thatreally wasn’t predicated on anyresults,” he said.

Pain drug maker Depomed roseafter activist investment firmStarboard Value disclosed a 9.8

percent stake in the company,making it one of Depomed’slargest shareholders. Last yearHorizon Pharma tried to buyDepomed for about $1.1 billion,or $33 per share, but Depomedfended off that effort and Horizondropped it in November.Depomed’s stock jumped $1.95,or 13 percent, to $16. 95.

Biotech drugmakers retreated.Regeneron Pharmaceuticals lost$13.43, or 3.2 percent, to$404.94 and Biogen declined$2.21, or 0.8 percent, to$270.83. Those stocks loggedtheir biggest gain in almost fiveyears on Wednesday, but have suf-fered big losses since July.

Specialty glass maker Corningsaid it will buy optical compo-nents maker Alliance Fiber OpticProducts for $18.50 per share, or$305 million. Alliance stocksurged $2.99, or 19.3 percent, to$18.45. Corning dipped 13 centsto $20.53.

NEW YORK — Marriott International hascleared one of its major hurdles on its jour-ney to acquire rival Starwood and becomethe world’s largest hotel chain.

Shareholders in both Marriott andStarwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide Inc.approved the $14.41 billion sale Fridaymorning.

The vote puts an end to a hectic month inwhich Marriott had to fend off a last-minutecompeting bid from China’s AnbangInsurance Group. After aggressively pursu-ing Starwood, Anbang suddenly withdrew itsbid last week, clearing the path for Marriott.

The acquisition has already been approv edby U.S. anti-trust regulators but still needsto clear authorities in the European Union

and in China. The deal is expected to closein t he middle of thi s year.

Holders of over 97 percent of Marriottshares present and voting at the meeting,representing over 79 percent of outstandingshares, voted in favor of a proposal to is sueshares of Marriott common stock in con-nection with the transaction. Holders of over 95 percent of Starwood shares presentand voting at the meeting, representingover 63 percent of outstanding shares,voted in favor of a proposal to approve thetransaction.

At closing Starwood stockholders willreceive 0.8 shares of Marriott commonstock plus $21. 00 in cash for each share of Starwood common stock.

Last year, Starwood — the owner of Sheraton, Westin and St. Regis brands —put itself on the market.

Twitter names PepsiCoCFO to its board of directors

NEW YORK — Twitter has appointedPepsiCo’s chief financial officer to its board.

Hugh Johnston hasserved as PepsiCo Inc.’sCFO since 2010 . The 54-year-old executive also

serves as vice chairmanof the food and beveragecompany.

Twitter Inc. also dis-closed in a regulatory fil-ing that Martha Lane Foxwill serve as a director.

The 43-year-old executive is a co-founder of travel and leisure website lastminute.com.

Board members Peter Currie and PeterChernin’s terms expire at Twitter’s 2016annual sh areholders meeting. The filing saysCurrie and Chernin were not cons idered for re-election, at their requests.

Twitter, a social media site famous forhashtags and a 140-character “tweet” limit,turned 10 years old last month. After a longstreak of robust growth that turned it into oneof th e Internet’s h ottest companies, Twitter’sexpansion has slowed dramatically over thepast year and a half.

Its stock rose 25 cents, or 1.5 percent, to$17. 23 in Friday morning trading. Twitter’sNovember 2013 initial public offering pricewas $26 and it reached $70 per share in early2014.

Starboard attemptsa coup at Depomed

Activist i nves tor Starboard Value is brin g-

ing its next boardroom coup attempt toDepomed, asking shareholders to replace allthe pain drugmaker’s directors with those of its own choosing.

Shares of Depomed spiked 14 percentFriday.

Starboard is nominating six people for the

drugmaker’s board and searching for addi-tional candidates, accusing the current direc-tors of being more concerned with entrench-ing themselves than improving shareholdervalue.

Shares of Depomed jumped more than 11percent, or $1.72, to $16.72 in late-morningtrading.

The Serra baseball team found out Fridaywhat Bellarmine learned Tuesday: SacredHeart Cathedral is legit.

After handing the Bells their first WestCatholi c Athleti c League loss of the season,2-1, earlier in the week, the Irish came intoSan Mateo Friday and downed Serra 3-1 tomove into a second-place tie with thePadres.

“[SHC] battled. They fought,” said Serramanager Craig Gianinno. “It’s the WCAL.You respect everyone. They’re clearly pl ay-ing with a lot of confidence.”

It was clear after the first couple of innings that the game would be a pitchingduel, which put offense — and defense — ata premium. And in t he end, i t was Serra (3-2WCAL, 12-3-1 overall) that blinked first.

SHC (3-2, 1 2-3) scratched out a run in th etop of the fifth to take a 1-0 lead, but Serraanswered in the bottom of the sixth to tie at1.

But the Irish rallied for a pair of runs inthe top of the seventh and then shut downthe Padres in their final at-bat to take homethe victory.

The Padres had a chance to go into thebottom of the seventh tied at 1, but a criti-cal error paved the way to a pair of Irishruns. Adrian Guardado o pened the t op of th eseventh with a single to left and moved tosecond on a passed ball. Erik Ochoa fol-lowed with what was suppo sed to be a sacri-fice bunt, but it was so go od he turned it intoan infield single to put runners on the cor-ners with no out. Following a strikeout,Marco Salvetti came to the plate. Gianinnowarned his infield to watch for a squeeze-bunt attempt and the Padres got just that.

But things still went awry for Serra. Onthe first pitch, Salvetti bunted a soft linedrive back t o th e pitcher, who h ad a bead onmaking the catch.

But in his haste to double up the runnerwho had broken for home, Serra pitcherNick Von Tobel bob bled the catch anddropped it. While he still had the presenceof mind to throw Salvetti out at first, pinch

SAN FRANCISCO — Ross Stripling of the Dodgers was pulled with a no-hitter inprogress after 7 1-3 innings during hismajor league debut, and Los Angeles l ost tothe San Francisco Giants 3-2 i n the 10th on

a rainy Friday night.

Brandon Crawfordhomered off Joe Blanton(0-1) leading off the bot-tom of the 10th.

In a decision sure to bedebated around baseball,first-year manager DaveRoberts removedStripling after the right-hander walked AngelPagan on his 100thpitch.

The 26-year-old rookie had never pitchedabove Double-A and missed the 2014 sea-son while recovering from Tommy Joh n sur-

gery. He was trying to become the firstpitcher since Bumpus Jones in 1892 tothrow a no-hitter in his big league debut.

Stripling struck out four and walked four.Chris Hatcher relieved and Trevor Browngreeted him with a tyi ng, two-run ho mer.

Moments later, Roberts was ejected fol-

lowing a quick confrontation betweenHatcher and plate umpire Jeff Kellogg after aclose pitch.

The homers by Crawford and Brown werethe Giants’ only h its.

Talk about a tough no-decision forStripling to take. Roberts said before thegame he met the pit cher’s parents earlier inthe day at the team hotel.

Stripling, a 2012 fifth-round draft pick,capitalized on a trio o f defensive gems.

Yasiel Puig made a divin g catch in right torob Matt Duffy in the second and Striplingthen ran down Crawford’s bunt toward third

OAKLAND — Coach Steve Kerr may beapprehensive, believing his Golden StateWarriors may need a mental and physicalbreak before the playoffs start more thanchasing the record for most wins in a sea-son.

His young stars have no such doubts.With a once-in-a-lifetime chance to set arecord with 73 wins by sweeping the finalthree games, they want to seize the oppor-tunity.

“Everything is gravy at this point withcoach Kerr,” forward Draymond Green said.“All he wanted was the number one seed.

For a lot of guys in thelocker room, it’s notgravy. We put ourselvesin a position all year. .. .To get this far and kindof just tank it and saynever mind? Face it,we’ll probably never getto this point again.That’s why it’s onlybeen done one time. Ithink most guys in the

locker room are all in.”The Warriors (70-9) joined the 1995-96

Chicago Bulls as the only teams in NBAhistory to win 70 games in a season bybeating San Antonio 112-101 on Thursdaynight to secure home-court advantagethroughout the playoffs.

To break the mark of 72 that MichaelJordan and the Bulls set 20 years ago, theWarriors must sweep a weekend road trip toMemphis and San Antonio and then beatthe Grizzlies again in the season finalenext Wednesday ni ght at ho me.

“With t hree games left and 73 st ill t here,it’s obviously a lot to play for,” starStephen Curry said.

The game against the Spurs figures to bethe toughest. The Warriors have lost 33straight regular season games at San

The old adage “If it's too good to be true, it probably is” applies to dentistrytoo. When looking for tooth replacement options, do not fall victim to mislead-ing marketing tactics. Do your research, ask the right questions, and knowwhat you are getting. It’s a lifetime investment and shouldn’t be taken lightly.

If you are researching dental implants you have seen the ads for $1895 completeor $4000 OFF! Great deal right, NOT SO FAST chances are you are getting exactlywhat you paid for, and not what an educated consumer would want! And it's not

 being done by an Implant specialist ( there is no such designation sanctioned bythe dental board in California)!

Such “special” fees do not correlate with cost of highly trained professionalsand materials for a level of precision and quality that implant supported

crowns require. Here is the typical range costs to replace a single missing tooth:Implant placement related costs to the dentist:

Dental Implant (reputable companies with well researched implants): $400 to $450

Healing abutment (a temporary extension that sits on the implant): $40 to $50

Surgical guide (a stent guiding accurate implant placement): $50 to $150

Drills (series of drills in various diameters necessary to prepare the bone forimplant placement): $50-$100.

Crown related costs to the dentist:

Impression post, Implant analog, Permanent abutment, abutment screw, Perma-nent Crown (made by a high quality USA lab ,Temporary Abutment, customTemporary Crown.

As you can see, these costs to the dentist amount to $1,360 - $1,950 just for thecost of HIGH QUALITY materials. This does not include the impressionmaterials, accessory materials, advertising multiple appointments, personnel andadministrative costs, and a reasonable return to the dentist.

So just how does the discount implant center do it? Here is the catch: They

employ common "cutting corner" strategies to offer a low fee and still makeprofit on this procedure.

Bottom line, don't look for the lowest price, but best long-term value!

NEW YORK — PBS’ documentary on the

life of Jackie Robinson gets most interest-ing when the gloves and bats are put awayfor good.

The two-part film directed by Ken Burns,Sarah Burns and David McMahon airsMonday and Tuesday at 9 p.m. EDT on mostPBS stations. The first part detailsRobinson’s early life and his baseball

career, when he becamethe first black player inMajor League Baseball in1947. The second part ismore complex, showingRobinson navigating acivil rights era that hehelped put in motion.

Burns’ team was nudgedinto making “JackieRobinson” by Jackie’s

93-year-old widowRachel. They had gotten

to know each other when Burns made hisdocumentary series on b aseball, which airedin 1994. She wanted Burns to make a filmsolel y on Robi nson b ut he didn’t have time,and two attempts with ot her directors didn’twork out.

Finally, Burns, his daughter and son-in-law found time, although he gently remind-ed her that “you can’t fire me.”

“You can tell in th e moments th at she’s on(screen) that she wants you to understandhow complicated this was, that it wasn’t

 just thi s simp le mythol ogy that we have,”he said.

The film ill ustrates how pressure had beenbuilding to integrate baseball, particularlyafter blacks served with distinctio n in World

War II. Robin son was urged to turn the oth ercheek when he endured taunts and insults,and this took effort — it wasn’t inRobinson’s nature.

They cast doubt on a moment that hasbeen immortalized with a statue inBrooklyn. Early in Robinson’s rookie year,teammate Pee Wee Reese supposedly put hisarm around Robinson to signal acceptanceby a whit e player who grew up in Kentucky.

But there are real questio ns about whetherthis happened at all. It would have requiredReese, a shortstop, to cross the field toRobinson, who played first base. There wasno mention of it in newspaper accounts of the game in Cincinnati when it supposedly

took place. Rachel Robinson had urged adifferent statue depicting the two playersshaking hands. Robinson himself indicatedin an autobiography that so mething like it

had happened — but a year later, when heplayed second base.Burns also detailed the supposed embrace

in his 1994 documentary series.“It’s white people wantin g to have skin i n

this game,” Burns said. “We want to feelthat we were good enough and forward-thinking enough. It’s a go od story, but it’smythology.”

After being traded to the New York Giantsin 19 57, Robinson retired rather than playfor th e Dodgers’ hated rivals. He became anexecutive at Chock Full ‘O Nuts, and activein civil rights.

His post-baseball public life was compli-cated. As the film states at the opening of the secon d night, “Americans would see thereal Jackie Robinson, and they would notalways like h im.”

Robinson was a Republican, a member of the party of Lincoln, and supported RichardNixon in the 1960 election against Jo hn F.Kennedy. During the campaign, he urgedNixon to reach out to t he Rev. Martin LutherKing Jr. when the minister was jailed.Nixon didn’t, but Kennedy did, and n arrowlywon the election with newfound black sup-port.

After Democrat Lyndon B. Johnsonsigned civil rights legislation, Robinsonsupported him in 1964 and urged otherblacks to do the same. He was essentiallythere at the birth of the Republicans’ strate-gy of appealing to Southern whites, andNixon snubbed him after he was electedpresident in 1968.

Although he pushed for civil rightsprogress and held fundraisers at his

Connecticut home, Robinson worked for aRepublican in New York Gov. NelsonRockefeller. He clashed with Malcolm X andmore militant black activists. Twenty yearsafter he broke baseball’s color barrier, someblacks called him an “Uncle Tom.”

All along, the Robinsons dealt with thedifficulties of being parents in the 1960s.Jackie Robinson Jr. returned from Vietnamwith a drug addiction that he struggled foryears to beat, and just as it seemed he had,he died in a car accident.

Robinson threw out the first pitch at the1972 World Series, and spoke out on theneed for baseball to hire a black manager.He died of a heart attack s hortly thereafter at

LAS VEGAS — He returns to a familiar place,with an equally familiar opponent. MannyPacquiao is taking no chances when he meetsTimothy Bradley in what could be the last fightof his remarkable career.

There’s chatter in the background about apossible rematch with Floyd Mayweather Jr.,though that appears very unlikely. Their huge-ly hyped fight last May was a dud, andMayweather has shown no interest — at l eastpublicly — in changing h is mind about retire-ment.

Pacquiao could be headed there himself, evenif he beats Bradley in the rubber match of theirseries. He’s running for the Senate in thePhilippines, a job that takes far more time thanhis current position of congressman in hisnative country, and polls make him a favoritein next month’s election.

Pacquiao might solidify his position in thepolls with a win over Bradley in Saturdaynight’s welterweight fight at the MGM Grand,where he met Mayweather last May. Everyoneloves a winner, though Pacquiao is alreadybeloved by most people in the Philippines asthe biggest sports hero the country has everhad.

Indeed, Bradley said he would be inPacquiao’s corner if he had a vote.

“He’s shown over and over that he is for thepeople and by the people and that he’s a man of his word,” Bradley said. “He’s always shownthat character and that integrity and I think he’sthe right man for the job.”

Pacquiao has waffled about whether this ishis last fight, saying he still loves boxing buthis family wants him to retire. Trainer FreddieRoach said he believes Pacquiao has benefitedfrom a year’s rest after the Mayweather fightand can go on at the age of 37, even though he

hasn’t scored a knockout since 2009.

“He hasn’t slowed down at all,” Roach said.“He still has a couple fights left in h im.”

Pacquiao weighed in Friday afternoon at 1451/2 pounds to 146 1/2 for Bradley. The welter-weight l imit is 147 pounds.

Pacquiao is guaranteed $7 mil lion — a far cry

from the $100 million or so he got to fightMayweather — to meet Bradley again in a pay-per-view fight that is struggling to get noti ced.With good reason, because there’s still a hang-over from the Mayweather fight and he andBradley have already fought 24 mostly non-descript rounds.

“He will be remembered as one of the bestfighters who ever put on the gloves,” Bradleysaid. “But I’m a different fighter than I was inthe first two fights. ”

Bradley won the first of those fights on ahighly controversial decision, then faded inthe later rounds to lose the second bout. Hesays he is rejuvenated under new trainer TeddyAtlas, the longtime ESPN broadcaster who heconvinced to return to boxing to train him.

“Having Teddy is like having a cheat sheet.He analyzes fights,” Bradley said. “This fightwill be fought differently. I’m going to be a lotsmarter than I was the first two fights.”

Pacquiao is a 2-1 favorite in his return to thering, which comes after shoulder surgery and along rest in the Philippines. The winner of titles in eight weight classes — the first onecoming 17 years ago at 112 pounds — he has-n’t had a knockout since 2009 though he wason the receiving end of one when he lost toJuan Manuel Marquez.

“I feel it’s good that I had a long layoff,” saidPacquiao, who began his pro career as a 16-year-old in 1995 in the Philippines. “It makesme hungry again, makes me fresher.”

Not feeling quite as good is promoter BobArum, who has struggled to sell the fight . Therewere tickets widely available in the days lead-ing up to the bout, and pay-per-view projec-tions have been scaled down.

Antonio, last winning on Feb. 14, 1997, when Tim Duncanwas still in college. They did win one of three games therein the playoffs in 2013, but lost in their only trip to SanAntonio earlier this season.

Golden State will need to win there again t o have a chanceat setting the record.

Kerr asked his players a few weeks ago if 73 wins was

important t o them. When most s aid yes, he made a pact withyoung s tars lik e Curry, Green, Klay Thompson an d HarrisonBarnes that he would not force them to sit as long as theywere honest about their health.

“I want to finish out these last three games,” Thompsonsaid. “I pride myself on pl aying ev ery game. I’m stil l youngin my career. I’m only 26. When I’m 36 I’ll be looking torest more.”

Kerr said he would discuss the choice again with hiscoaches and players Friday on the plane ride to Memphis.He has given time off recently to veterans like centerAndrew Bogut and guard Shaun Livingston. Other playerslike sixth man Andre Iguodala and backup center FestusEzeli have g otten time off because of inj uries.

But no one on t he young core has go tten a game off sinceCurry missed a game with a sprained ankle o n March 1.

“I’m not sure they actually need a rest physically. But

maybe a break mentally will do them so me good,” Kerr said.“On the other hand, I’m pretty s ure we’re not go ing t o be inthis position again next year. You can’t keep winning atthis level. It’s a very unique situation.”

Kerr knows well what the Warriors have accomplished,having played all 82 games as a key reserve on the Bullsteam that set the mark. He has not ed the parallels of the tol lthe 82-game grind takes late in a season and knows thatwhat his Warriors team is aiming to do is even harder thanwhat Chicago did in breaking the mark of 69 wins s et by theLos Angeles Lakers in 1971-72.

“In ‘96 we had to g et to 7 0,” Kerr said. “We have to g et to73. When you’re talking about an 82-game season, threegames is huge. This is a monumental task if that’s whatwe’re calling it. Yes, I’m kind of confused with how weshould approach it.”

Green and Curry have been the most vocal players aboutwanting the record, while some others like Iguodala andBogut have downplayed its i mportance. Green made a poin tthis week of tellin g his teammates that t hey sho uld feel freeto s it o ut a game if they feel like th ey need a rest and not feelas if they are letting t eammates down.

“The goal is to win a championship, and nobody sh ouldsacrifice that for anything in this regular season,” Currysaid. “If you’re able to play, and feel like you can go outthere and give what you got, and continue to build momen-tum into the playoffs, then we’ll do it. I think that’s kin d of the majority.”

Golden State guard Klay Thompson has no notion of sittingout any of the Warriors’ final three games. ‘I’m only 26. WhenI’m 36 I’ll be looking to rest more.’

Kings saying farewell tolongtime arena, ’one special place’

SACRAMENTO — This time it truly will be goodbye for theSacramento Kings and their longtime arena.

After two previous possible farewells when the Kings werecontemplating a move out of Sacramento, the team will play itsfinal home game at the arena it has called home since 1988 onSaturday night against Oklahoma City.

Making this one far less emotional than the ones at the end of the 2011 and 2013 seasons is the fact that Kings are only mov-ing to a fancy new downtown arena instead of out of California’scapital city entirely.

But there will still likely be some tears and high emotionswhen the doors shut for the final time. The NBA’s smallest arenawas also once its loudest when sellout crowds came out night ly to

cheer one of the league’s most entertaining teams in the early2000s.

The building formerly known as Arco Arena produced selloutstreaks of 497 and 354 straight games and provided one of themost notorious home-court advantages in the league. Fansclanked cowbells so loud that opposing coaches and playerspleaded to have the noisemakers banned.

The venue has changed names to Power Balance Pavilion andthe current Sleep Train Arena, but the constant was the proximityof the fans to the court, creating an intimidating environment.

In a five-year span starting in 1999-2000, the Kings had thebest home record in the league at 168-37. With unselfish teamsled by Chris Webber, Mike Bibby, Vlade Divac and PejaStojakovic, Sacramento was one of the best shows in the NBA.

The Kings made eight straight playoff trips starting in 1998-99, losing an overtime game at home in Game 7 of the WesternConference finals to the Lakers in 2002.
