Burlingame High School teacher KevinNelson said he will not be allowed to teachnext year at the school where he has educatedstudents for nearly three decades, under a deci-

sion b y district officials.Nelson said he is still uncertain to which

district campus he will be transferred, but hewas informed by Kevin Skelly, superintend-ent of the San Mateo Union High SchoolDistrict, during a meeting Thursday, Feb. 25,he will not return to his classroom inBurlingame.

Where the popular educator will teach nextyear has become a lightning rod for theschool community, as thousands of studentsand parents have publicly advocated forNelson keeping his post in the wake of hisongoin g clash with Burlingame High SchoolPrincipal Di Yim.

Nelson said he was dismayed to learn hewill not b e returning to the school where hehas taught government and economics for 27years.

“I feel frustrated,” he said. “That’s the bestway to describe it.”

An online petition requesting district offi-cials allow Nelson to stay at BurlingameHigh School has received more than 2,300signatures, and community members haveturned out in droves to scho ol bo ard meetingsfurther pleading their case.

An attorney has been hired by the districtteachers union to represent Nelson and inves-tigate legal avenues to keep him at theschool, h e said.

Skelly declined to comment specifically onthe matter of Nelson’s employment, citing a

district policy against publicly discussingpersonnel issues, but said he is committed toensuring Burlingame High School continuesto be an education ins titution befitting o f itscommunity.

“We are interested in making Burling ame aneven better school in the coming years,” he

said. “And we feel strongly the best days of the school are ahead.”Nelson learned last month he would be

transferred, which he claimed was retributionfor his opposition to policies implementedby Yim.

After learning of his pending removal, stu-dents ho sted protests at the school in supportof the teacher who has educated generationsduring his time in the district.

As the fracture resonated through theschool community, Yim abruptly announcedher intention to resign at the end of theschoo l year, which she claimed was necessaryto grant her a greater opportunity to spendtime with family.

In the wake of Yim’s resignation announce-ment, Nelson’s supporters hoped the person-nel issue would be resolved and he would beallowed to stay at the school.

Despite his opposition of the transfer,Nelson said he harbors no ill will towardSkelly over the is sue.

“I’m not mad at Superintendent Skelly,”said Nelson. “He inherited this, and he is try-ing to manage it. But at the same time, I’vegot my own life and career to loo k at.”

Skelly, who was hired to replace formersuperintendent Scott Laurence roughly oneyear ago, said he is focused on finding theright candidate to fill Yim’s position at thehelm of Burlingame High School.

There are challenges associated with bal-ancing the v ariety o f expectations and hopes

members of the school community mighthave for the next principal, said Skelly, and

joked it may seem at times the search was fora mythical figure.

He remained optimistic though the rightcandidate for the principal would ultimatelybe selected.

“We will get someone who is worthy of thepromise and talents of students at theschool,” he said.

For his part, Nelson indicated there arelarger cultural issues plaguing the schoolcommunity in Burlingame, and questionedwhether he would be the only teacher facingtransfer.

“For me the big question is: Why am I theonly one? If she [Yim] is gone, what is theissue? Why am I being transferred?” he asked.

After establishing a reputation for advocat-ing on th e part of students, Nelson suggestedhe felt his transfer was unjust.

“I’ve got all this support, I’ve done theright things, and I’m the one leaving,” hesaid.

Uma Krishnan, a former student of Nelsonwho started the online petition in favor of

him staying at the school, said she was upsetto l earn her alma mater would be los ing such apopular educator.

“I personally am really sad,” said Krishnan.“He was one of the b est teachers I’ve ever had.I’m sad to see him go.”

Nelson said it is frustrating facing transferfrom a community which has been so sup-portive.

“One of the biggest things that angers meabout leaving th e high schoo l is th at we havebuilt thi s community, ” he said. “I’m part of it,and now I’m being taken out.”

FORT WORTH, Texas — DonaldTrump scored a powerhouse endorse-ment Friday as he sought to regainheadway in a Republican presidentialrace that devolved into a series of fierce insults and schoolyard tauntsheading int o th e weekend before SuperTuesday con tests.

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christiestunned the Republican establishmentby s winging behind the New York bi l-lionaire, declaring “there is no betterfighter than Donald Trump.” Takingthe cue, Trump unleashed a raw assaulton Marco Rubio, who went after himwith fury on the debate stage the nightbefore.

Trump called the first-term Floridasenator “a nervous basket case,” “achoke artist,” “a frightened littlepuppy” and insulted the size of hisears. “This i s a lo w-life,” Trump said of Rubio, not leaving out Texas Sen. Ted

Cruz. “Cruz lies, but at least it’s rea-sonable lies.” Earlier, Rubio jokedthat Trump might have wet his pantsbackstage on debate night.

Christie’s endorsement came afterRubio shattered months of relativepeace with the Republican front -runnerby repeatedly attacking Trump’s char-acter in the debate. Christie caught theroom by surprise when he stepped outto join Trump at a Forth Worth newsconference announcing the governor’ssupport.

The shift marked the beginning of along-awaited Trump takedown effortthat was cheered by anxious

Republicans nationwide who questionTrump’s party loyalty and fear he’sunelectable in a general election.

Christie’s support gave Trump anopportunity to turn the attention backto himself, as he has done repeatedlyduring trouble spots in the campaign.His critics acknowledge they are run-ning o ut of time to stop him.

He’s won th ree consecutive primarycontests and looks strong in many of the 11 states participating inTuesday’s mega-round of voting. A

close look at the delegate math sug-gests that he could have an insur-mountable delegate lead by mid-March

if trends don’t chang e quickly.Cruz said the Christie endorsementhad little impact on his own focus onSuper Tuesday. He suggested the devel-opment was “troubling news” forRubio’s campaign, which had beencourting the tough-talking New Jerseygovernor since he dropped his ownpresidential candidacy earlier in themonth.

Instead of securing a new ally, Rubiofound himself on the wrong end of theChristie’s attacks.

SACRAMENTO — Gov. Jerry Brownobjected Friday to a CaliforniaSupreme Court schedule that wouldpush a decision on h is prison popula-tion ballot initiative into at least themiddle of next week.

The Democratic governor wants the just ices to immediatel y ov erturn alower court ruling th at could stall until2018 h is proposal to increase sentenc-ing credits for adult inmates and allowearlier parole for non-violent felons.

Brown’s attorney said in a court fil-ing that even a four-day delay wouldlikely make it impossible to gatherenough signatures to put the measure

before voters inNovember.

The governor hasno one to blame buthimself, counteredMark Zahner, chief executive of theCalifornia DistrictA t t o r n e y sAssociation thatsued to block the

initiative.“Ultimately the only emergency

that’s caused here is kind of a do-it-yourself nature that th e governor creat-ed by doing it the way they did,” hesaid.

The lower court agreed with the dis-trict attorneys’ argument that Brown

improperly amended an existing juve-nile justice initiative to also increase

sentencing credits for adult inmatesand allow earlier parole for non-vio-lent felons. The Sacramento-basedSuperior Court judge barred AttorneyGeneral Kamala Harris from issuingthe documents required for Brown’ssupporters to gather the signaturesneeded to put his initiative on theNovember ballot.

The high court’s schedule calls forrespons es Monday from Harris and thedistrict attorneys, with Brown’s rebut-tal due l ate Tuesday.

“Even a short delay like this willlikely make the critical difference,”attorney James Harrison wrote onbehalf of Brown and other propo nents .

HESSTON, Kan. — A man who stormedinto a Kansas factory and shot 14 people,killing three, had just been served with aprotective order involving a former girl-friend that probably set off the attack,autho rities said Friday.

The assault at the Excel Industries lawn-mower-parts plant in the small town of Hesston ended when the police chief killedthe gunman in a shootout.

Harvey County Sheriff T. Walton described theofficer as a “tremendoushero” because 200 o r 300people were still in thefactory and the “shooterwasn’t done by anymeans.”

Had the officer “notdone what he did, thiswould be a whole lot

more tragic,” Walton said.The gunman was identi fied as Cedric Ford,

a 38-year-old worker at the factory. As aconvicted felon, he was prohibited fromowning any kind of firearm. A woman wascharged with supplying him with an assaultrifle and a pistol.

Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback said prelim-inary information indicated that the officerwas Hesston Police Ch ief Doug Schroeder,who did not wait for backup and “seized thesituation.”

Schroeder has been on the job since1998, according to his LinkedIn profile.

While driving to the factory, the gunman

shot a man on the street, striking him in theshoulder. A short time later, he shot some-one else in the leg at an intersection,authorit ies said.

The suspect shot one person in the facto-ry parking lot before opening fire inside thebuilding, the sh eriff’s department said.

Ford had several convictions in Floridaover the last decade. His past offensesincluded burglary, g rand theft, fleein g froman officer, aggravated fleeing and carrying aconcealed weapon, all from Broward andMiami-Dade counties.

Sheriff: Cop who killed Kansas gunman a ’tremendous hero’

BELFAIR, Wash. — A gunman who kil ledfour people in rural Washington state calledan officer he previously encountered to sayhe shot his family, leading to an hourslongstandoff at a home Friday that ended with his

suicide, authorities said.A 12-year-old girl related to the victims

survived and was taken to the hos pital for anevaluation, Mason County sheriff’s Chief Deputy Ryan Spurling said. Her conditionwas not immediately known.

“Apparently she’s OK,” Spurling said. “Idon’t know if this is a daughter, or step-daughter, o r what the relationshi p is, but sheescaped from the house.”

The officer who took the shooter’s callwent to the home across Puget Sound fromSeattle with another deputy. Authoritiesnegotiated with the man for about threehours before a SWAT team entered the house

in a heavily wooded area and found the bod-ies.

The gunman “apparently came outside thehome and shot himself,” Sheriff CaseySalisbury said. “It’s a terrible tragedy.”

Neither the gunman nor his four victimshave been identified. Authorities did notdetail the previous interaction between theshooter and the officer he called.

Jack Pigott, who lives down the road, saidhe heard gunshots Thursday night but noneFriday.

The couple who lived in the ho use about 25miles southwest of Seattle had been marriedfor four or five years, Pigott said. The wifehad two teenage sons who were adopted fromRussia during a previous marriage. She alsohad a daughter who was adopted from China.

Pigott said the husband had a heating andair conditioning con tractor business. He hadrecently been hospitalized, Pigott said, buthe didn’t kno w why. When he returned home,he was on a lot of medications, Pigott s aid of the man.

Deadline expires forhomeless at San Francisco tent city

SAN FRANCISCO — A city deadline for homeless peopleto vacate a San Francisco tent city came and went Fridayevening with no action.

About 30 tents remained in place at the 5 p.m. deadline cityofficials gave the homeless living there to clear out, SamDodge, th e mayor’s poi nt person o n homelessness s aid.

City officials and the San Francisco Police have not said

what th ey intend to do with th e recalcitrant tent residents.City o fficials on Tuesday evening gave the residents of th etent city 72 hours to move after declaring the area along abusy San Francisco street a health hazard. At its height, some140 tents populated the area, drawing complaints residentsand businesses.

San Francisco has long had a problem housing its home-less, but tensions have been exacerbated by a shortage of affordable housing amid a tech-based jobs boom.

Earlier this month , a founder of a technology startup po st-ed a letter to San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee complaining thathe “shouldn’t have to see the pain, struggle, and despair of homeless people” on h is way to work.

The letter, which went viral, was soundly mocked on socialmedia for its whiny lack of sensitivity but writer JustinKeller is not alone in demanding the city do more abouthomelessness.

People who live near the tent city, for example, testified ata city hall hearing on Thursday that they were afraid to stepoutside their h omes due to aggressive behavior. The tents arealong Divisi on Street, a multi-lane thoroughfare that dividestwo rapidly developing n eighborhoods, the South of Marketand Mission districts.

The homeless and their advocates say they need more serv-ices and homes for the unhoused. An estimated 3,500 peoplesleep on th e streets of San Francisco each nig ht.

“I’m not going to let somebody run me out of s omewherewhere I’ve made my home,” said camper Patrita Tripp, as shedished cold beef pasta out of a can earlier this week. “Wheream I supposed to go?”

Officials scrap proposal forSan Francisco bonfire permits

SAN FRANCISCO — Officials with the Golden GateNational Recreation Area have abandoned a proposal thatwould have required people to acquire permits b efore makingbonfires at Ocean Beach, a San Francisco tradition.

The National Park Service scrapped the idea after deciding

the $35 reservation permits weren’t worth the effort. And ina bonus for bonfire lovers, the service will add four morebonfire rings, bringing the total to 16.

“The public thought th e permit took away the sp ontaneityaspect of having a beach fire,” Alexandra Picavet, a parkservice spokeswoman.

The park service received more than 500 comments o n theproposed rule. Most opposed the idea of a reservation andforking over $35 for a permit.

Park officials have b een trying to regulate beachside bon-fires since 2006 as complaints grew over unattended blazesand boozy crowds. The National Park Service estimated atone point that it was spending nearly $90 ,000 a year to cleanup after the fires.

The service has turned to education to remin d beachgo ers toclean up and guard against fire damage. A new program willbegin t his s pring with trained staff and volunteers to enforcerules.

San Francisco resident Sacha Ielmorini told the newspaper

that b onfi res are a fun and cheap way to build a sense of com-munity.

“Where else can yo u get a beach in the middle of a city? Allit costs is the price of a box of wood. It’s a great equalizer,and everybody can do it,” she said.

Groups of 25 or more must make a reservation.Bonfires are banned through February as part of the Bay

Area Air Quality Management District’s Spare th e Air season,which starts in November.

BEIRUT — A cease-fire brokered bythe United States and Russia went in toeffect across Syria on Saturday, mark-ing the biggest international push to

reduce vio lence in the country ’s devas-tating conflict, but the Islamic Stategroup and al-Qaida’s branch in Syria,the Nusra Front, were excluded.

The cease-fire aims to bring repre-sentatives of the Syrian governmentand the opposit ion back to the negoti-ating table in Geneva for talks on apolitical transition. The U.N.’senvoy, Staffan de Mistura, announcedthat peace talks would resume onMarch 7 if the cessation of host ilities“largely holds.”

If it does, it would be the first timeinternational negotiations havebrought any degree of quiet in Syria’sfive-year civil war. But successrequires adherence by multiple armedfactions — and the truce is made more

fragile because it allows fighting tocontinue against the Islamic State

group and Nusra Front, which couldeasily re-ignit e broader warfare.

The Syrian government and theopposition, including nearly 100rebel groups, have said they will abideby the cease-fire despite serious skep-

ticism about chances for success.Speaking to reporters in Geneva

after the truce took hold at midnight,de Mistura said initial reports indicat-ed that within minutes both Damascusand the nearby rebel-held town of Daraya suddenly “had calmed down.”He said there was a report o f one “inci -

dent” that his team was investig atingbut did not give details.

By Lolita C. BaldorTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON — Not long afterDefense Secretary Ash Carter proddedhis cyber commanders to be moreaggressive in the fight against IslamicState, the U.S. ramped up its offensivecyberattacks on the militant group.

According to several U.S. officials,the attacks are targeting the group’sabilities to use social media and theInternet to recruit fighters and inspirefollowers, U.S. officials told theAssociated Press.

U.S. officialsconfirmed that oper-ations launched outof Fort Meade,Maryland, where theU.S. CyberCommand is based,have focused on dis-rupting the group’sonline activities.The officials said

the effort is getting underway as oper-ators try a range of attacks to see what

works and what doesn’t. They declinedto discuss details, other than to say

that the attacks include efforts to pre-vent the group from distributing prop-aganda, videos or other types of recruiting and messaging on socialmedia sites such as Twitter, and acrossthe Internet in general.

Other attacks could include attemptsto stop insurgents from conductingfinancial or logistical transactionsonline.

The surge of computer-based mili-tary operations by U.S. CyberCommand began shortly after Cartermet with commanders at Fort Meadelast month.

PALO ALTO — Menlo girls’ basketballcoach John Paye and his star guard SamErisman both agreed that it was an honor tobe the first Menlo athletic team to play in aCentral Coast Section Open Division play-

off.And the sixt h-seeded Knig hts showed No.

3 Sacred Heart Cathedral that they were notsimply h appy to be there in their first-roundmatchup Friday evening at Gunn HighSchool in Palo Alto.

Menlo gave th e Irish all th ey could handlein the first half, even taking a two-pointlead into halftime.

In the second half, however, SHC foundits offensive rhythm and that, coupled withan always tenacious defense, was enough t opropel the Irish to a 62-47 victory.

“The difference (between the first and sec-ond halves) was they started to get theirshots to fall,” said Erisman, a junior, wholed Menlo with 15 p oints.

That summed up the game in a nutshell.SHC (16-8) shot just 9 for 24 from the field

in the first two quarters. In the second half,the Irish shot a blistering 15 for 26 as theyoutscored Menlo (19-6) 40 -23 over th e finaltwo periods.

“In the second half, they really starteddumping it in side,” Paye said.

The main recipient was IImar’I Thomas,the West Catholic Athletic League Co-Player of the Year, who scored 14 of hergame-high 25 points in the third and fourthquarters.

And she made her free throws, which shedidn’t do consistently in the first half as theIrish struggled from the line early, hittingon just 5 of 11.

The defending Central Coast SectionOpen Division champs picked up right

where they l eft off.The No. 2-seed Serra

Padres scored the first s ixpoints of Friday’s CCSopener and never looked

back, downing No. 7Palma-Salinas 62-39.

Senior forwardJeremiah Testa dropped agame-high 20 points asthe Padres outscored theChieftains in every quar-

ter. West Cath olic Athletic League Player of the Year Jake Killing sworth added 14 po intsand big man Joh n Besse came off the benchto pitch in 10.

It was a point of emphasis by Serra headcoach Chuck Rapp for his team to come outfocused, with the CCS Open Division play-offs featuring the top eight gunslingingteams the section has to offer.

“The difference between the Open to thedivisional play of a few years ago is whenyou play in the first round, it is much moreadvanced,” Rapp s aid. “You’ve got to comeready or you’re going to get taken advan-tage of.”

Palma entered play riding a 1 6-game win-ning streak. Losing just two overall gamesthis season, the Chieftains hadn’t dropped agame since Dec. 23, 2015 against Half

Moon Bay, a team they beat when the tworematched in January. Palma’s only otherloss came in its season opener to eventualWCAL champion St. Francis.

So, Serra responded by opening with oneof the most even-keel halves of basketballit has played all season. With Testa takinghis second turn through the Open Divisionplayoffs — as a sixth man last year, heplayed a key role in Serra’s first-ever Opentitle win — he said it wasn’t so muchnerves, as it was caution that caused thePadres’ early temperament.

Stepping onto the Central Coast SectionOpen Division stage, Half Moon Bay gotblitzed by a Bellarmine team that just could-n’t miss from beyon d the arc.

The third-seeded Bells knocked down 6 of 9 shots from 3-point land in the second half to march to a 44-33 victory over the sixth-

seeded Cougars in Friday’s CCS OpenDivision opener.Half Moon Bay (25-3) was sitting pretty

at the half, persevering through a defensivebattle over the opening 16 minutes. TheCougars t ook their first lead midway th roughthe second quarter and held a 24-19 advan-tage at halftime. But the West CatholicAthletic League tempo of Bellarmine (17-7)ultimately took over the game, flusteringthe Cougars of the Penin sula Athletic LeagueNorth Division to the tune of HMB totaling

just ni ne point s in the second half.“Playing in a weaker league, we haven’t

had to face anything like this,” Cougarssop homo re guard Sam Treanor said. “It was a

tough change and we struggled with thechange.”

HMB senior forward Tommy Nuño put histeam on his shoulders in the second quarter.Struggling through the first quarter at a 1-for-6 shooting clip, the Cougars were rein-vigorated by the defensive exploits of sen-ior center Austin Hilton, which in turnallowed Nuño to feed off the momentum atthe ot her end of the court.

Hilton moved to a modified zone defenseto start the second quarter, swarmingBellarmine’s ball handlers at the top of thehalf-court set. It helped the Cougars tooutscore the Bells 19-9 in the second quar-ter.

Marc-Edouard Vlasic scored the lone goalfor the Sharks, who lost for just the third timein regulation this season in the 30 gamesthat they scored first. Martin Jones made 19saves as San Jose remained six po ints b ehindPacific Division leader Los Angeles.

With the Sharks controlling the play, theSabres took advantage of a fortuitous bounceto hand the Sharks a key loss that deniedthem to chance to close the gap in the divi-sion with rivals Anaheim and Los Angeles.

Bogosian’s shot from the point deflectedoff San Jose forward Tomas Hertl’s left s kate,changed directions and went over Jones’

shoulder for the ti ebreaking goal.The Sharks put on pressure late in h opes of

getting a ty ing go al with the goalie pulled forthe second straight game, but Kane’s goalsealed the win for Buffalo.

Coming off a five-game road trip, theSharks were a little sluggish at the start but

still managed to come up with the game’sfirst goal just 1:28 into the game. Matt Nietocarried the puck deep into the offensive zoneand fed Vlasic at the top of the faceoff circle.Vlasic then beat Johnson with a wrister toscore for the second time this s eason againstthe Sabres.

That was one of just six shots on goal forSan Jose in the opening period, but theSharks also allowed no prime scoring

chances to Buffalo to maintain the lead.The game didn’t open up much in the sec-

ond period either, but the Sabres got theequalizer after a defensive zone turnover byBrenden Dillon. Newcomer Roman Polaksent a pass that skipped past Dillon’s andwent off the boards right to Brian Gionta

MESA, Ariz. — The Oakland Athleticsdecided their roster needed some tweakingeven as other teams have stood pat thismonth. They’ve swung a couple of signifi-

cant trades, one of whichbrought slugging out-fielder Khris Davis overfrom the MilwaukeeBrewers.

Davis and his newteammates took battingpractice together onFriday against live pitch-ing, the first full-squadworkout of the spring for

the A’s.“It’s a great opportunit y. It’s exciting and

just a new s tart, ” Davis said. “Couldn’t as kfor more. Just have to be grateful for theopportunity.”

Davis, who played left field in Milwaukeelast year, has hi t 49 h ome runs and driven in135 runs over the past two seasons.

A .2 50 career hitter, Davis figures to get alot of at-bats against right-handed pitch-

ing, against which he batted .260 with 21homers compared to . 212 with six againstleft-handers in 2015.

Davis also s truck out 122 times in 392 at-bats and 121 games.

“I was surprised we made that deal,” A’smanager Bob Melvin said. “I think it cametogether pretty quickly. Maybe we’re lack-

ing a lit tle bit of p unch, and any time youcan get some right-handed power, a guythat’s hit, what was it, 27 home runs in lessthan 400 at-bats last year, it’s a nice com-plement to the middle of our lineup. So wewere lucky to get him and very happy tohave him.”

Melvin added that what he saw whilepitch ing to Davis during a drill Friday stoo dout.

“The ball comes back at yo u in a hurry. Itlooks like he’s been hitting for a while.Using th e whole field. He’s got power to theother side and it really looks like bat con-trol, too,” Melvin said. “I threw him a cou-ple of pitches in when he was trying to goaway and still was able to get his handsinside it and hit it hard the other way.”

Davis said being traded hit him when hefirst walked up t o th e Oakland clubho use at

Hohokam Stadium. He was drafted byMilwaukee in 2009 and came up in theBrewers’ farm system.

“At the same time, it ’s fast and you’ve gotto g et over it fast,” he s aid. “I was ready forit. I’m here for a reason.”NOTES: New utility player Chris

Coghl an got himself unpacked and ready for

his first full day as a member of th e A’sFriday morni ng. Oakland acquired Coghlanin a trade with the Cubs on Thursday.Coghlan, who hit .250 with a career-high16 home runs in 148 games last season inChicago, said he was pulled off the field atCubs spring training to be informed of thetrade and was surpris ed. He said he’s ready toembrace his expected role of playing sever-al posit ions , and that he’s tried to model hisgame after former Cubs teammate (for a cou-ple of days) Ben Zobrist, another jack-of-all-trades player. “’Zo’ made it sexy andcool to be a utility guy,” Coghlan said.Melvin said Coghlan is aware that he’llplay everywhere. “He’s honored that welook at him that way,” Melvin said. .

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — The SanFrancisco Giants are stocked with talentedpitchers, with Madison Bumgarner, MattCain, Johnny Cueto, Jeff Samardzija andJake Peavy having been named All-Stars atleast once.

Those five figure to comprise the openi ngday starting rotation for the Giants. Butthere’s another former All-Star on the

Giants’ spring training roster who is trying

to make the most of the opp ortunity h e has,though he faces long odds to make themajor-league roster o ut of camp.

Veteran left-hander Ricky Romero is try-ing to reviv e a career derailed by injuries toboth knees. An All-Star in 2011 with hisoriginal team, the Toronto Blue Jays,Romero hasn’t pitched in the big leaguessince 2013.

The Giants signed him to a minor-leaguecontract last May, then after granting hisfree agency re-signed him in November.

Romero is throwing bullpen sessions dur-

ing spring training andwill get a look duringworkouts and games,grateful for a chance.

“It means a lot. It’s achange of scenery. Youlook around this club-house and you see a lot of talent,” Romero said.“The past few yearsspeaks for itself with

BRADENTON, Fla. — There was no excit-ed buzz around Pittsburgh in Decemberwhen the Pirates signed pitcher RyanVogelso ng.

There were plenty of anxious murmurs,though, and manager Clint Hurdle heardthem.

“I’ve heard a lot of, ‘Man, you should’vegone out and gotten somebody better,”’

Hurdle said.The doubters don’t

both er Vogels ong.“Some people might

think I came back just toride out my career,”Vogels ong said. “That’snot the case. I expect tohave a great season and

continue my career aslong as I can.”Vogelson g, who will

turn 39 in July, went 9-11 with a 4.67 ERAwith the San Francisco Giants in 2015. Hewasn’t able to hold onto a st arting spot andended up making a third of his 33 appear-ances as a reliever.

With a hole to fill at the back of theirrotation , the Pirates signed Vogelso ng for$2 mil lion . The one-year deal in cludes up to$3 million in performance bonuses.

“We believe he’s still got the skills toperform at a very functional level,” Hurdlesaid. “He’s got an edge and a hunger to hisgame that’s real. That’s something we liketo use for his good and for the collectivegood of the club.”

the line in t he first half, which is what kept the Knights inthe game because as much as SHC may struggled shootingthe b all, the Knigh ts’ struggles were much greater.

Menlo made only four field goals in the first t wo periods,but what the Knights lacked in accuracy they made up forwith pure grit and determination. They consistentlyattacked the basket and while it hurt their shooting per-centage, they more than made up for it at the free-throwline. Menlo was 16 for 17 in the first half and finished thegame 28 for 31 from the line.

“We were aggressively attacking the basket (in the firsthalf). That was the key for us,” Paye said. “In the second

half, we got a lit tle bit t ired and it hurt our aggressiveness. ”The Irish got their transition game going early and

opened the game with a 10-4 run and led 12-6 after the firstquarter.

In the second period, Menlo went right at the Irish. Aftera Thomas putback to open t he stanza gave SHC a 14-6 lead,Menlo would outscore the Irish 18-8 the rest of the half.

As the Knights crept closer, yo u could see the entire teamstart to gain con fidence. While Erisman was doing a b ulk of the work for the first 10 minutes of the game, her team-mates started to take s ome of the pressure off her.

Everything was going the Knights way. They outre-bounded the bigger Irish 19-15 in the opening half andwhile SHC used its vaunted defense to come up with sevenfirst-half steals, they were offset by eight SHC turnovers.

When Mohini Gupta hit a layup with 15 to play in the

second quarter, it gave Menlo its first lead, 24-22, since itwas 1-0 .

The teams went back and forth at each other to start thethird quarter. Thomas hit a pair of free throws to tie thegame at 24, but Erisman responded with a pair of freethrows of her own. But layups from Thomas and RainahSmith gave the Irish the lead for good, 28-26.

Olivia Pellarin’s wheel into the lane for a bucket cut theMenlo deficit to 3 7-35 with just under four minutes to playin th e third period, but SHC outscored the Knight s 11-4 th erest of the way to t ake a 46-37 l ead into the final quarter.

“It was going back and forth (in the th ird quarter) and theyhad that on e run and it was li ke a punch in the jaw,” Erismansaid. “We felt that on e.”

SHC extended its lead to 51-37 with back-to-back b ucketsto start the fourth, but Menlo got a 3-pointer fromMackenzie Dufner and a basket from Pellarin to cut the Irish

lead to 51 -42, but it would be as close as the Knights wouldget.Despite the first-round loss, the Knights’ season is still

alive. By virtue of playing in the Open Division, not onlyis there a consolation round in which to participate, butMenlo is also guaranteed a spot in the Northern Californiatournament, which will be in Divisi on IV, it s normal divi-sion based on enrollment.

That means the Knigh ts are guaranteed at least t wo moregames this season — they will pl ay either No. 7 St. Francisor No. 2 Pinewood in the consolation bracket Tuesday andwill start the Nor Cal Divis ion IV tournament the foll owingweek.

“This is a great opportunity for us to get ready for NorCals,” Paye said.

Added Erisman: “We’re just getting better and gettingready for Nor Cal.”

PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. — RickieFowler isn’t setting any course records at theHonda Classic. He’ll gladly settle for moregreat golf, and the 36-hole l ead.

Fowler got back to work last week inFlorida after his big disappointment in thePhoenix Open and shot the course record atThe Medalist (66). The next day, he went anhour north to The Floridian and shot 60 tobreak the course record held by JustinThomas.

He set a more obscure record Friday with his4-under 66 to build a one-shot lead overJimmy Walker. Fowler became the first p layerto go bogey-free over the opening 36 hol es inthe Honda Classic since it moved to PGANational in 2007.

“That’s a big accomplishment around thisgolf course — not just one day, but back-to-back,” Fowler said. “So pleased with how I’vemanaged my g ame.”

In his first st art since Fowler lost a two-shotlead with two holes in Phoenix, he put him-

self right back in p osition t o win.

Fowler was at 8-under 132, one shot aheadof Jimmy Walker, who finished his round of 66 with a 25-foot birdie on the 17th and a 40-foot eagle putt on No. 18. Sergio Garcia, play-ing with Fowler, stayed with him until thefinal four holes. Garcia had a 69 and was twoshots b ehind.

Adam Scott also played bogey-free in windthat was sl ight ly calmer and in warmer weath-er. He holed a 10-foot eagle putt on the thirdhole and two-putted for birdie on his final holefor a 65 that left him three shots behind.

Scott has yet to shoot over par in 10 roundsthis year, with nine of those rounds in the 60s .

“It’s starting to get really so lid, and I’ve gotto just keep doing that and let the confidencebuild,” Scott said.

Rory McIlroy left without speaking andwon’t be coming back this week. He missedthe cut for the second straight year at theHonda Classic.

McIlroy tried to play off a muddy patch inthe hazard left of the par-3 fifth green, hit off the rocks into the water, took a penalty dropand made triple bogey. A birdie on the final

hole gave him a 72, though he missed the cutby one shot.

The cut was at 3-over 143, and PhilMickelson made it on the number. Mickelso n,coming o ff a runner-up fini sh at Pebble Beachafter losing a two-shot lead going into thefinal round, failed to make a birdie in h is roundof 74.

“I hit 15 greens today and I didn’t make asingle birdie. That’s a frustrating deal,”Mickelson said. “I hit a lot of good shots. I’mreally not complaining. I just had a hard timegetting it in the hole. I don’t know what tosay. The score certainly wasn’t very good, butfelt like I played all right.”

Fowler had a similar round to Thursday —no bogeys, a 66, and tough par save on his10th hole to keep his round going. Hechipped in for par on No. 10 in the openinground. On Friday on his 10th hole (No. 1), hewas in the trees well right of the fairway andmanaged to get out near the front of the greenfor a simple up-and-down.

His longest par putt was 12 feet on No. 4after driving into a bunker, and he ended theday with a 25-foot birdie putt.

WHAT’S ON TAPBy Graham DunbarTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ZURICH — Gianni Infantino isthe new president of soccer’s corrup-tion-scarred world governing body,winning election after promisingnational leaders of the sport that hewould share the wealth from FIFA’s$5 bill ion World Cup revenues.

Infantino was chosen on the sec-o n d - b a l l o tFriday to fill theunexpired termof longtimeFIFA leader SeppBlatter, who wasforced out by thepressure of U.S.and Swiss i nves-tigations of bribery and cor-ruption thatemerged two

days before the previous vote inMay 2015.

The stunning outcome seemed tocatch the 45-year-old Infantino off-

guard. He had to compose himself before starting his acceptancespeech and saluted voters by pattin ghis h eart with his right hand.

“We will resto re the image of FIFAand the respect of FIFA. And every-one in the world will applaud us,”said Infantino, who only became acandidate when a case of financialwrongdoing removed his own boss,Michel Platini, at Europe’s soccerbody UEFA.

“I am convinced a new era is s tart-

ing,” said the Swiss-born formerlawyer. Blatter headed FIFA for morethan 17 years.

Infantino pledged to meet quicklywith World Cup broadcasters andsponsors, saying they “they need toregain trust and confidence in foot-ball and in FIFA.”

There were only four candidates

on the ballot after Tokyo Sexwalewithdrew during his campaignspeech to voters. The four wereInfantino, UEFA’s general secretary;Sheikh Salman of Bahrain, theAsian confederation president;Prince Ali of Jordan; and JeromeChampagne of France.

Infantino, who had waged aglobe-trotting campaign in the fourmonths leading up to the election,gave an impressive 15-minutespeech only 20 minutes before thefirst-round vote. The Swiss-Italianspoke in several languages withoutnotes and portrayed himself as aleader for the world, not justEurope’s wealthy confederation.

His campaign promised to spread

the World Cup largesse to more fed-erations, including additional guar-anteed funds. He also pledged toexpand the World Cup from a 32-team tournament to 40 teams, andgive more opportunities to coun-tries to stage the World Cup withmultinational regional hos ting.

“The money of FIFA is yourmoney,” he said, jabbing his leftindex finger to the 207 members of soccer federations from Afghanist anto Zimbabwe before the election .

shooting. He’s extended his streak of games with at leastone 3-pointer to 128 and counting, a new NBA record.

Reaching 400 3-pointers isn’t totally out of the question; heshould eclipse the record he set last year sometime nextweek.

The Warriors are 52-5, still on pace for the best record inNBA history and could actually clinch a playoff spot whenthey vi sit Oklahoma City o n Saturday — with more than si xweeks left in the season.

“What th e guy has been ab le to do i s different than we’veseen, ” Miami guard Dwyane Wade said. “It’s rare to s ee a guywho dominates a game that far out on the perimeter. Jordandominated the game from 15 feet and in, Kobe (Bryant) aswell. Shaquille (O’Neal) dominated from about 7 and in.You’ve see a lot of guys dominate in different ways. Wehaven’t seen a guy dominate the way he’s dominated fromabout 38, 40 and in.

“If you’re a basketball fan, you’re a Steph Curry fan,”Wade said. “There’s no reason to dislike anything aboutSteph Curry.”

Even opponents can’t help but marvel at his long-range

antics.“Ridiculous,” Orlando’s Aaron Gordon said. “He’s been

doing that all year long.”Curry’s pregame shooting and dribbling shows have

become the stuff of legend. There were more than 150 peoplearound the court just before 6 p.m. Wednesday — most of them with phones in hand, poised to snap photos or takesome video — when Curry took the floor to warm up inMiami. When he left, some fans were waiting for his auto-graph and a teenage boy held out a ball for Curry to s ign.

“Make it out to me,” the bo y said, handing Curry a Sharpiepen.

Curry started signing his name, and the boy said again,“make it out to ...” before stopping. Curry looked at himwith a raised eyebrow.
