    South San Francisco officials agreed toshare with th e local school district $1 mil-

    lion, as part of an effort to strengthen bondsbetween the agencies which in t he past havebeen strained.

    City o fficials will draw the payment fromthe roughly $3.2 million offered by SaresRegis in a community benefits packageagreed upon as part of the negotiations toconstruct 272 new apartments and town-houses downtown.

    In granting final approval of the projectduring a meeting Wednesday, March 24, theCity Council agreed a portion of the com-munity benefits payment should be passedalong to the South San Francisco UnifiedSchool District.

    Vice Mayor Pradeep Gupta said the deal isrepresentative of th e desire of lo cal officialsto work together in the best in terest of theSouth San Francisco community.

    “We want to work very closely with ourschool district in a very cooperative andcollaborative fashion,” said Gupta. “Wewant to help each other more than in thepast, and assist each other to help the kidsget the b est education possib le.”

    City Manager Mike Futrell andSuperintendent Sh awnterra Moore are set tomeet and discuss terms of the agreement,said Gupta, as the school district must alsouse the money to provide community bene-fits for residents.

    Gupta s uggested the money could be spenttoward improving roads near school cam-puses, as the funds are dedicated to impro vethe quality of life in South San Francisco.

    “We definitely want to find a commonproject that is needed by the school districtand meets t he needs of our community bene-

    fits definition,” he said.Community benefits packages are often

    offered by developers to city officials inexchange for being allowed to build higherdensity projects than would typically bepermitted.

    As part of the negotiations with SaresRegis t o p urchase th e former Ford auto deal-ership, near the intersection of AirportBoulevard and Miller Avenue, for redevelop-ment into a large residential project, thebuilder offered the city a payment worthmore than $3 million to be spent towardimproving local p arks and open spaces.

    The property was originall y purchased bythe city with redevelopment funds, whichrequires city officials to gain approval froma board comprised of representatives fromother local taxing agencies before selling.

    During discussions of the project with theredevelopment board, South San FranciscoUnified School District administratorsexpressed a desire to receive a portio n of th ecommunity benefits package, which Guptasaid city officials found agreeable.

    In acknowledgment of the role the localschool district plays in educating local stu-dents, city officials agreed to settle on thesquare figure of $1 mill ion t o share with th edistrict, s aid Gupta.

    He noted though the payment offered tothe district from the Sares Regis develop-ment was unique due to the nature of how theproperty was acquired, and said it would like-ly not set a precedent for sharing communi-ty benefit packages in the future.

    THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

    SAN FRANCISCO — TheNational Weather Service saysCalifornia’s withering winter dryspell will end this weekend as aseries of storms move through thestate.

    Scattered light showers fellaround Northern California earlyFriday and were expected to con-tinue on and off overnight beforebecoming steady and heavythrough Saturday evening as astrong cold front crosses theregion, the NWS San Franciscooffice said.

    Southern California will see rainarrive slightly later than in thenorth, approaching late Saturdayand lasting into early Sunday.

    The NWS says a seven-day tot alcould approach 20 inches of rain

    in Northern California and up tothree inches in the southern end of the state.

    In the northern part of the state,forecasters say that with the rainwill be blustery winds, possiblyup to 60 mph. The strong windscould bring down trees and powerlines leading to scattered poweroutages, the agency said.

    Bob Benjamin, a forecaster withthe Nation al Weather Service saysthe agency has is sued a wind advi-sory beginning at noon onSaturday with winds expected to bearound 15 to 20 mph and gusts upto 50 mph.

    Flash flood watches were to go

    into effect in the state’s far north-western and central areas as well as

    the Sierra Nevada, where snowtotals could range from 2 feet to 4feet at elevations above 8,000feet. Sierra snow levels will lowerto near 4, 000 feet by Sunday, fore-casters said.

    The Sierra snowpack, whichnormally stores about 30 percentof California’s water supply, wasonly 83 percent of the March 1average when it was measured ear-lier this week. That’s much betterthan a year earlier, but after yearsof drought nearly all the state’smajor reservoirs hold far lesswater than average by this time of year, the Department of WaterResources s aid.

    hit the floating platform hardFriday, said SpaceX chief ElonMusk. The company never expect-ed to nail this landing, he said,because of the faster speed of theboo ster th at was required to deliverthe satellite to an extra-highorbit.

    SpaceX scored a rocket landingon t he ground at Cape Canaveral in

    December, but has yet to nail atrickier barge landing at s ea.

    The good news, though, is thatthe unmanned Falcon 9 rock et suc-cessfully hoisted the broadcastingsatellite for Luxembourg-basedcompany SES.

    It was the fifth launch attemptover the past 1 1/2 weeks;Sunday’s t ry ended with an eng ineshutdown a split second beforeliftoff. Friday’s sunset launch pro-vided a stunning treat along thecoast.

    As it h as tried a handful of timesbefore, SpaceX attempted to landthe discarded first-stage boosteron a barge, this time 400 miles off the coast of Cape Canaveral.

    Alabama court refuses todefy Supreme Court on gay marriage

    BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — The Alabama Supreme Court isrefusing to defy the U.S. Supreme Court ruling that effec-tively legalized same-sex marriage nation wide.

    The court i ssued a one-sentence order Friday dismissing achallenge by a probate judge and a conservative policygroup that wanted the state to bar gay marriage despite thelandmark federal decision.

    In one of several written opinions accompanying the

    order, Justice Greg Shaw called the decision a “clear refusal”to ig nore the Supreme Court ruling last J une.

    Several other state justices railed against the hi gh court’sruling while noting they can’t overturn it.

    Chief Justice Roy Moo re wrote that previous st ate ordersbarring gay marriage in Alabama remain. Most probate

    Food allergies are common, potentially serious and sometimes deadly. They’re becomingmore prevalent in children in many countries, affecting up to 8 percent of kids under age 3.About 2 percent of U.S. kids have peanut allergies.

    By Lindsey TannerTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS

    CHICAGO — Two new studies bolsterevidence that feeding babies peanuts orother allergy-inducing foods is more like-ly to p rotect them than to cause problems.

    One study, a follow-up to landmarkresearch published last year, suggests t hat

    the early prevention strategy leads to per-sistent, long-lasting results in children atrisk for food allergies. It found that allergyprotection lasted at least through age 5 anddidn’t wane even when kids st opped eatingpeanut-contain ing foods for a year.

    That means at-risk kids who don’t wantto eat peanut butter on a weekly basis cansafely take a break, at least for a year.

    The second new study suggests that theearly strategy could also work with eggs,another food that can cause allergies inyoung children. It found that allergies topeanuts and eggs were less common inyoung children who started eating thosefoods at 3 months of age than in k ids who

    as infants received only breast milk.The New England Journal of Medicine

    published both new studies o nlin e Friday,coinciding with their presentation at amedical meeting i n Los Angeles.

    Food allergies are common, potentiallyserious and sometimes deadly. They’rebecoming more prevalent in children inmany countries, affecting up to 8 percentof kids under age 3. About 2 percent of U.S. kids have peanut allergies.

    The results from last year’s studyprompted a sea change in experts’approach to preventing these allergies. Itwas the first “to show that early introduc-tion of peanut can prevent the develop-ment of allergy to it,” Dr. Anthony Fauci,director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said in astatement.

    It also led to new draft guidance issuedFriday by a panel convened by Fauci’sagency. The recommendations include giv -ing at-risk kids peanut-containing food asearly as 4- to 6-months of age.

    MUST GO BY

    MARCH 18

    By Steve Peoples and Jill ColvinTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS

    WARREN, Mich. — With an eye on thegeneral election — and suddenly “flexible”on immigration — Donald Trump has backedoff from some of the hardline rhetoric that hasfueled his presidential campaign, at least forthe moment.

    “Believe it or not, I’m a unifier,” Trumpoffered during a raucous rally Friday in subur-ban Detroit. “We are going to unify our coun-try.”

    Republican adversary Ted Cruz wasn’t hav-ing it. “Donald is telling us he will betray uson everything he’s campaigned on,” he saidas he campaigned in Maine, one of five statesvot ing in weekend primaries and caucuses.

    Trump’s apparent outbreak of moderationon s everal fronts, i ncluding the most inflam-matory one, immigration, comes after a dom-inant Super Tuesday performance that ex tend-ed his reach for the Republican nominationand as GOP establishment figures stepped upto assail him.

    In the rollicking Republican debateThursday night, Trump retreated from a posi-tion paper on his website, saying he hadswung in favor of more tempo rary H-1B vis asfor skilled foreign workers. His stanceagainst that had been one of the few specificpolicies he had laid out.

    “I’m changing, I’mchanging,” he said. “Weneed highly skilled peo-ple in this country.” Hourslater, his campaignreleased a statement back-ing away from the newposition, deepening thesense that Trump’s agendamay be less s trategic thanimprovisational.

    More broadly, he spokeof the virtues of compro-mise.

    “In terms of immigra-tion — and almost any-thing else — there alwayshas to be some, youknow, tug and pull anddeal,” Trump added. “Youhave to be able to havesome flexibility, somenegotiation.”

    Cruz and others lash ed out at Trump’s suddenembrace of flexibility on the central issue of his campaign. “Flexible is Washington codeword that he’s going to stick it to the peo-ple,” Cruz said Friday.

    Campaignin g in Kansas, rival Marco Rubiosaid Trump has shown “constant movement”on the issue, a “pattern” the Florida senatorsays is “disrespectful to v oters.”

    Trump’s GOP rivals attack

    his ‘flexibility’ on policies

    By Beth J. HarpazTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS

    NEW YORK — You could say politics hasreached a new low with the “small hands”remarks from the Republican debate.

    But the exchange over the size of Donald

    Trump’s, um, hands is merely the most recentvulgarity in American po litics. The history of crude remarks goes back to the FoundingFathers.

    In the 18th century, John Adams calledAlexander Hamilton a “bastard brat” andwrote that Hamilton had “a superabundance of secretions which he could not find whoresenough to draw off,” according to historianRon Chernow.

    One difference between then and now:“These were words written or spoken in pri-vate, not in public,” said Chernow, whosePulitzer Prize-winning biography of Alexander Hamilton helped inspire the hitBroadway musical “Hamilton.” (Chernowsays the comments were quoted in letters thatsurvived the centuries.)

    In the 18 80s, rumors of Grover Cleveland’s

    out-of-wedlock child led to a song from hisRepublican opponents: “Ma, ma, where’s my

    pa?” When Cleveland won th e presidency, therespons e came: “Gone to the White House, haha ha!”

    “Old-fashioned American politics was fullof those kinds of vil e comments, ” said ArnoldShober, who t eaches government at LawrenceUniversity in Appleton, Wisconsin. “We’vekind of lost th at over the last 70 years, and Ithink i t’s just coming back.”

    Not that 20th century politicians shiedaway from vulgarities. Here’s President BillClinton describing his 1970s El Caminopickup truck: “I had Astroturf in the back. Youdon’t want to kn ow why, but I did.”

    And Clinton’s Secretary of State MadeleineAlbright proved that sh e could talk dirty whenshe said: “This is not cojones. This is cow-ardice,” after Cuba shot down Cuban-American exiles flying civilian planes.

    Fast-forward to the Republican presidentialcampaign. A week ago, Sen. Marco Rubio,talking about Trump, said: “And you knowwhat they say about men with small hands.”In Thursday’s GOP debate, Trump said of hishands: “If they are small, something elsemust be small. I guarantee you there is noproblem.”

    Trump also has called Rubio “litt le Marco.”

    Carson spent heavily onconsultants, lightly on campaigning

    WASHINGTON — Ben Carson ran forpresident, and his consultants won.

    The political newcomer, who said Fridaythat he was ending his bid for the WhiteHouse, raised $58 million, more moneythan any o ther GOP contender raised.

    But an Associated Press review of h is cam-paign finance filings show Carson’s cam-paign is an extreme example of the big-money business of presidential politics.His campaign burned through the millionshe raised by spending more on fundraisingand consultants than on mass media adver-

    tising, on-the-ground employees and other

    things that could haveswayed voters, the fil-ings show.

    Over the past week, thecandidate himself, a soft-spoken retired Baltimoreneurosurgeon, has won-dered aloud whether hiscampaign aides tookadvantage of him, evensaying he was disap-

    pointed in himself for trusting some peoplearound him “without really vetting themcarefully.”

    long called for less invasive methods to beconsidered when addressing the potentiallydangerous intersection.

    Syed Murtuza, director of Public Works,said he considered the proposed initiative athoughtful compromise to a historicallyemotionally charged issue.

    “Once you remove the trees, you are notgoing to bring them back,” he said. “If wecan save the trees and solve a problem, thisis a very logical solution.”

    The council stands to approve the memo-randum of understanding with Caltrans torestrict southbound left turns at the inter-section during th e upcoming meeting.

    The issue gained momentum in recentmonths, as city officials drafted a letter toCaltrans in August advocating for the pro-tection of the trees, in response to a letter

    from the transportation agency suggestingno harm would be done to the historicnature grove by removing nine trees.

    Five of the trees are part of the Howard-Ralston row, which is identified on theNational Register of Historic Places.

    Some residents claim the eucalyptus treesalong El Camino Real are part of the defin-ing character of Burlingame, and staunchlyoppose any of them being removed.

    Under the pilo t program, t he southboundleft hand turn prohibition would stay inplace for three months while officials

    gauge its effectiveness in reducing trafficconflicts.

    Also, as part of the agreement, a publicoutreach campaign will b e initi ated by thecities of Burlingame and Hillsborough, aswell as Caltrans, to collect feedback on theproject.

    “The purpose of the stakeholders groupwill be to explore and develop mutuallyagreeable recommendations and/or poten-tial propo sals t o comprehensively addressthe various traffic, pedestrian, infrastruc-

    ture, safety and natural resource issues onthe ECR corridor,” according to the report.

    Murtuza lauded the collabo ration betweenagencies which has led to the terms of th eproposed agreement.

    “This is a good thing,” he said. “This isbuilding con fidence and trust in t he commu-nity. It’s a step in the right direction.”

    As feedback is sought, Murtuza said thedesire of the Burlingame community isclear.

    “We obviously don’t want to see thosetrees removed,” he said.

    But those desires should be balancedagainst the concerns for public safety, hesaid.

    ‘The main purpose is to reduce accidentsat that int ersection,” h e said.

    In other business, before the councilmeeting, officials will study a propo sal tobuild a new park along the Bayfront, on aslice of land owned by the State LandsCommission.

    The initiative is on e of the variety of cap-ital improvement projects being consid-

    ered by the council, which could befinanced through a potential tax measurethat would be floated to vo ters in an upcom-ing election.

    Councilmembers have expressed con-cerns regarding the project, as it wouldlikely require more than $5 million todevelop the park on property owned by aseparate agency.

    To develop the project, the city wouldneed to agree to lease terms for the l and, andindications are the State LandsCommission is reluctant to offer agree-

    ments lasting long er than 20 years.In light of the hurdles facing the project,

    councilmembers suggested during a studysession earlier this week a wiser invest-ment may be to spend the potential tax rev-enue on improving the city’s existingparks.

    USA initiative, is designed to recognizeschools willing to preserve bee habitatthrough sensitive landscaping techniques,reluctance to use harsh pesticides and othersustainable practices.

    Paul Hankamp, a biology professor at thecollege, celebrated the willingness of school officials to j oin the program.

    “CSM is really s teppin g up and saying werecognize the importance of bees, and weare going to do all we can to promote theirhealth by providing habitat on our cam-pus,” he said.

    The program will emphasize a varietyof efforts already in place on the campus,said Hankamp, as officials have longbeen conscious about managing theschool grounds in a fashion which is

    attractive to pollinators.

    College of San Mateo joins SouthernOregon University and Georgia TechUniversity as the first college campuses to

     joi n th e prog ram, s ince it began l ast y ear.

    Phyllis Stiles, director of the program,expressed her appreciation for Hankampand others at College of San Mateo forapplying to join the bee protection move-ment.

    “This is a brand new thing i n th e country,and somebody has to get it started,” shesaid. “We have to have those pioneers, andthat takes some courage.”

    The program targets universities in hopesof attracting young, involved students whocould be molded into advocates for bee p ro-tections in the future, said Stiles.

    “We are trying to harness the power of educational institutions,” she said.

    Bee populations across the globe aredeclining, said Stiles, which stands to havepotentially devastating ecological impacts,

    and heightens the importance of local pro-tections.

    “There is an awful lot we can do to reducethose declines,” said Stiles. “And that hasto do with welcoming them into our envi-

    ronment.”Landscaping techniques such as plantingnative species which are inviting to bees,being conscious of the types of pesticidesthat are sprayed and offering more pollenand nectar sources can be fruitful efforts inhelping the bee population rebound, saidStiles.

    Hankamp said he hopes to weave the pro-gram’s initiatives in to t he school’s sciencecurriculum, in an effort to further educatestudents on the value of preserving beehabitats.

    There are no beekeeping programs on thecampus, s aid Hankamp, as some harbor con-cerns regarding exposure to those studentswho are allergic to stin gs.

    As part of th e Bee Campus USA init iative,

    signs will be posted throughout the campusannouncing t he efforts to p reserve bee habi-tats, which Hankamp noted could serve as ameans of spreading awareness for th ose whoare worried about the t hreat of being stung.

    “In a way, it will help th ose peop le out byproviding these signs, ” he said.

    Stiles noted though many bees do notsting, and their reputation has been harmedby the more aggressive and threateningwasps, which are more inclined to attackpeople.

    “With the exception of honey and bum-blebees, other bees rarely sting and arealmost incapable of that,” Stiles said.

    Under the education initiative, Stiles saidparticipation with the local college campusis integral in altering the misconceptionsmany have about bees.

    “Getting young people on board is a hugekey we feel to changin g minds to the way wethink about pollinators, our bees and ourhabitat,” she said.

    orative relationship.“We are looking for opportunities to

    work together on these things more,” hesaid.

    School and city officials in South SanFrancisco have no t always seen eye to eyeon community issues, which most recentlycame to a head over discussions of a poten-tial collaborative workforce housing proj-ect.

    Emotions erupted during a meetingbetween school trustees and councilmem-bers last year after city officials offered topay for a study surveying surplus schoolproperties in search of land which couldbe used to build affordable housing proj-ects.

    Due to the contentious nature of the dis-cussion, no agreement was reached, and

    both agencies have begun working inde-pendently on examining their own afford-able workforce housing init iatives.

    Gupta said the agreement could indicaterelations between the two agencies are onthe mend.

    “We will provide whatever we can do tomake it better for the schools,” he said.“And we hope they will do the s ame for us. ”

    BEIRUT — Syrians in rebel-heldareas took advantage Friday of a week-long cease-fire to rally againstPresident Bashar Assad, demanding hisresignation, while a top oppositionfigure said his side believes it is “notsuitable” for peace talks to resume inGeneva next week.

    Meanwhile, France’s presidentexpressed optimism, saying discus-sions about a political transition inSyria will “accelerate” with the truceholding across the war-wracked coun-try.

    The rallies in rebel-held areas weresmall — hundreds protested in the east-

    ern sector of the city of Aleppo, in thewestern Waer neighborhood of Homsand in Idlib province — but theyreflected a sense of relief amid thecease-fire that h as mostly held since itwent i nto effect across the country l astSaturday.

    The protesters called on Assad’s gov-ernment to release detainees from pris-ons and lift several sieges on opposi-tion areas — issues that have been keydemands of the opposition ahead of peace talks planned to resume inGeneva next Wednesday.

    In a blow to tho se plans, Riad Hijab,who heads the opposition HighNegotiation s Committee, said that cir-cumstances were not suitable to resume

    the talks , adding that th e United Stateshas “made many concessions” toRussia, one of the main backers of Assad.

    Despite the truce, Syrian militaryoperations are still ongoing, detaineeshave no t been released by Damascus andlittle aid is entering rebel-held besiegedareas, Hijab said in Paris. He spokeshortly after French President FrancoisHollande, after speaking with the lead-ers of Russia, Germany, Britain andItaly, said from Paris that there wasagreement to tak e advantage of the truceto coordinate humanitarian aid andopen a process of political transition inSyria — though he cautioned aboutadvancing too quickly.

    Cyprus’ first public gaywedding takes aim at prejudices

    LARNACA, Cyprus — The newlyweds wanted to go all-out with their wedding celebrations. All the trappings of atraditional Cypriot wedding were on display; the huge lineof well-wishers with cash-filled envelopes in hand, a bandplaying the latest Greek pop hits and the mandatory roast-ed pork.

    Marios Frixo u and Fanos Eleftheriades said th ey wanted it

    that way, a public declaration of their commitment to eachother. Their hope is to offer other gay couples on the smalleast Mediterranean island nation the courage to be openabout their lo ve for each other.

    Their union is the first public gay wedding in Cyprus,which has ranked low on an index of LGBT rights. It fol-lows last month’s first g ay wedding but that was a low-keyevent involvin g an anonymous couple.

    Late last y ear, lawmakers p aved the way for t he weddingsby passing a civil union law that in effect recognizes gaymarriage. It was a bi g step forward for gay righ ts i n Cyprus,which only decriminalized homosexuality 18 years ago.

    “We wanted to g ive courage to ot her couples and to all gayand transgender people to accept themselves and not to beashamed of who they are,” says Frixou.

    NEW YORK — Stocks wobbledto the finish Friday but salvaged afour-day winning streak after theU.S. government said employers

    added more jobs than expected inFebruary. That was another voteof confidence in the economy.Mining companies made thebiggest gains as metals pricesclimbed.

    The jobs report showed thatconstruction, retail and healthcare companies are still hiringmore workers. Energy companiesalso rose with the recoveringprice of oil. Stocks fell back froman afternoon peak as investorssold telecommunications compa-nies, which have been the best-performing sector of the marketthis year.

    The Dow Jones industrial aver-age rose 62.87 p oints, or 0.4 per-

    cent, to 17,006.77. The Standard& Poor’s 500 index gained 6.59points, or 0.3 percent, to1,999.99. The Nasdaq compositeindex edged up 9.60 points, or0.2 percent, to 4,717. 02.

    The Labor Department saidemployers added 242,000 jobslast month. Consumer demandwas solid, and the governmentalso said employers hired more

    people in December and Januarythan it had previously estimated.More people also looked forwork.

    This week stocks rose afterreports on hiring, constructionspending and manufacturing sug-

    gested that the U.S. economy isdoing fairly well. Kate Warne,investment strategist for EdwardJones, said she expects continued

     job and economic g rowth for theU.S.

    “The worries that we’ve beenhearing recently about the econo-my sliding into recession aren’twarranted,” she said. Combinedwith low inflation rates, she said

    that’s good news for in vestors.Metals and energy prices kept

    climbing on the continued signsof life for the economy. Gold,which is trading at its highestprice in a year, rose $12.50, or 1percent, to $1,270.70 an ounce.

    SAN FRANCISCO — HewlettPackard Enterprise’s st ock ros e nearly14 percent on Friday, a day after thecommercial technology vendor report-ed solid earnings in its first quarter asan independent company.

    Analysts said the results were betterthan expected, showing the new com-pany can increase sales and becomemore profitable after spinning off from the o ld Hewlett-Packard last fall.

    Hewlett Packard Enterprise Co. sellscommercial tech products and services,while another spin-off, HP Inc., isfocused on personal computers andprinters.

    While total sales were down 3 per-cent from a year ago, HP Enterprisesaid revenue from computer servers,data storage systems and networkinggear all increased after adjusting forcurrency fluctuations and one-timecosts. All told, computer hardwarecontrib uted more than half of th e com-pany’s $12.7 bi llion in revenue for the

    quarter that ended Jan. 3 1.

    The company also reported revenuefrom technology services was flat,after excluding the effects of a strongdollar. But analysts said the companyshould be able to increase profits fromthat segment in future quarters, as CEOMeg Whitman carries out previouslyannounced plans to cut staffing andmove some jobs overseas.

    Shares in HP Enterprise, which isbased in Palo Alto climbed to $15.84on Friday before closing at $15. 44, up$1.84 for the day.

    DETROIT — The U.S. govern-ment is investigating complaintsthat th e brakes can fail on Ford’s F-150 pickup truck, one of the mostpopular vehicles in the nation.

    Ford’s F-Series pickup is thetop-selling vehicle in the U.S.,and the F-150 accounts for two-thirds of those sales.

    The probe covers about 420,000pickups with 3.5-Liter, six-cylin-der engines from the 2013 and

    2014 model years, according todocuments posted Friday on theNational Highway Traffic SafetyAdministratio n’s website.

    The agency says it has 33 com-plaints about the problem, includ-ing so me drivers reporting that thepedals can suddenly g o to the floo rwith a complete loss of braking.

    Four drivers reported that t he prob -lem caused crashes, although therewere no injuries. The agency

    reported that 31 of the complaintsfrom F-150 drivers came in thepast year, with 20 in the pastseven months.

    Some of th e drivers reported thatmechanics told them brake fluidhad leaked from the master cylin-der to the brake booster, causingthe problem. Some reported that

    brake warning lamps came on, orthey found brake fluid reservoirsempty or low, with no visible

    leaks.Ford said it takes customer safety

    seriously and will cooperate withthe investigation. Trucks withother engines could also be cov-ered by the probe. Ford says F-150s with other engines have thesame braking system.

    The company said any owner

    who has a concern about the b rakesshould contact their dealer.

    One owner from San Marcos,

    Californ ia, tol d NHTSA that he wasbacking his pickup out of thedriveway in May of 20 15 when thepedal went to t he floor and he com-pletely los t his brakes. The pickupcrossed the street, went over a curband hit a neighbor’s landscapewall, causing severe damage, thedriver wrote.

    LOS ANGELES — Hotels are goingfor a new minimalist look to attract

    younger guests, but the move h as leftsome experienced travelers angry,wondering how they’re expected toget work done without a desk.

    Younger travelers, hotels note, justwant a clean and efficient space tostay. They spend less time in roomsand like to socialize and work invibrant lobbies with a sense of com-munity.

    So carpets are being replaced byeasy-to-clean laminate floors. Tubsare being ripped out in favor of glassshowers. And instead of working at adesk, guests are increasingly expectedto use glorified window sills or over-sized TV trays.

    If those “flexible workspaces”aren’t conducive to creativity, hotelsare hoping to nudge guests to bringtheir laptops to the lobby, where theymight buy a glass of wine while typ-

    ing away.But for seasoned travelers whoenjoy working in the quiet of theirrooms this has caused majorheadaches.

    “Flexible, I have no problem with.Unusable, is what I have a problemwith,” says Don Wright, 59, a com-puter consultant from Lexington,Kentucky.

    Often, these surfaces aren’t “biggerthan a s heet of paper,” he says, addingthat a laptop might fight, but not alsoa bin der full of documents.

    Wright has spent up to 20 0 nigh ts ayear in hotels and understands thatmany make changes to cater to

    younger travelers. But he can’t imag-ine any millennial deciding not tostay in a hotel because the room has adesk. But for older road warriors, alack of a desk i s a deal breaker.

    “When you are 25 all is well and youcan roll up in a ball and sit an ywhere,”Wright says. “But when you turn 45,50 or older, your body doesn’t likethose types of positons.”

    It’s such a concern that frequenttraveler forums online list desk-lesshotels to avoid.

    Charles Kron, a 51-year-old insur-ance company training consultantfrom Atlanta, criticized Marriott inone such discussion for “movi ng awayfrom being a business hot el chain.”

    On one trip, he used the ironingboard as a desk.

    Heading to the lobby isn’t a solu-tion.

    For all the firepower senior strikerJillienne Aguilera provided Woodside thisseason, it was Kayla Hart who was destinedto be the championship hero.

    Friday’s Central Coast Section OpenDivision championship game wasn’t oneNo. 3-seed Woodside (19-1-2) was supposedto win. Undefeated Mountain View — lastyear’s CCS Division I champs — enteredplay not only as this year’s top seed, butalso riding a streak of 32 consecutive match-

    es witho ut a loss , dating back to last season.In one stunning moment in the second

    half of Friday’s title game, however, KaylaHart ended Mountain View’s longtime reignby booting the game-winner in the 59thminute, the lo ne goal in Woodside’s 1-0 winto claim its third all-time CCS crown.

    “Thankfully, I was just in the righ t place atthe right time,” Hart said.

    Despite Kayla Hart’s humble account, thesophomore put herself in the right place atthe right time through sh eer force of will. Onthe possession, Aguilera shuffled a pass toDaisy J imenez at the top corner of th e penal-

    ty bo x. With two defenders closing, Jimenezforced a shot but it was deflected for whatlook ed like a clearance.

    As this transpired, Kayla Hart wasknocked to the ground behind the play. Butas she quickly got to her feet, momentarilydazed, Woodside midfielder Izzy Bascaraintercepted Mountain View’s attemptedclearance and sent the ball past the twodefenders.

    NEWARK, Del. — Baron Davis kept hisexpectations low for his first professionalbasketball game in four years.

    “I’m not dunking,” he said, smiling.One game into his comeback, the 36-

    year-old Davis already proved himself wrong.

    Alone in the open court, Davis sprintedtoward the basket on the fast break andthrew down a two-handed slam dunk.

    Davis was back.

    OK, it’s not the NBA,where Davis was a two-time All-Star over 13seasons and the No. 3overall pick of th e 1999draft. He was just a back-up point guard Fridaynight for the D-LeagueDelaware 87ers. But theuniform hardly matteredas much as th e comeback

    did — Davis played for the first time sinceMay 6, 2012, when he tore the anterior cru-ciate and medial collateral ligaments in his

    right knee in a playoff game with the NewYork Knicks.Far removed from the bright lights of 

    Madison Square Garden, Davis played infront of a few thousand fans at a collegearena.

    But basketball hadn’t felt this good forDavis in years.

    “I just never thought I’d be playingagain,” Davis said before the game. “I’mkin d of just treating it as a new experience.”

    Wearing his usual white headband, Davisdunked and dished for the Sevens in a 114-106 loss to the Iowa Energy.

    Davis scored eight points on 3-of-11shooting with four assists, three steals andfive fouls in 19 minutes.

    “I think a lot of it was happening in mybrain, ” Davis s aid. “I was playin g, I was outthere, but I wasn’t all the way out there.”

    He surprised himself with his dunk.“I thought it was LeBron J ames coming to

    block it. I didn’t want to lay it up,” he said.“I thought, while I’m up here, I might aswell try.”

    GOODYEAR, Ariz. — Madison Bumgarnerallowed a first-inning home run to EugenioSuarez in the San Francisco Giants’ 4-3 winover the Cin cinnati Reds on Friday.

    That was the only hit in two innings againstBumgarner, who struck outthe side in the second andretired his last four batters.

    “I actually shook off Brownie,” Bumgarnersaid, referring to catcher

    Trevor Brown. “I wantedthe pitch up a little more,but it was a pretty danggood pitch, really.”

    Suarez has four extra-base hits in his three

    games. He is moving from shortstop to replaceTodd Frazier, who was traded to the White Sox.

    “Suarez isn’t missing the mistakes. I’lltell you that,” Reds manager Bryan Pricesaid. “The ball’s coming off his bat nicely.We’re seeing power to right-center andpower to left field. He’s made some real niceplays at third base.”

    Jarrett Parker hit a t wo-run sing le off AmirGarrett in the sixth. Parker, a second-roundpick in the 201 0 amateur draft, had two hits.He is getting extra playing time because of Hunter Pence’s sore Achilles tendon.

    Ehire Adrianza sin gled in a run in a three-run sixth off Garrett, who gave up basket-ball at St. John’s to pl ay baseball full time.

    Starting timesEven with his success, Bumgarner wants

    to see improvement.“When y ou’re younger, you’re competing

    for a spot on the roster, so you make sureyou’re ready in time for spring training,”Bumgarner said. “It isn’t that I take it forgranted, but it is nice to use spring trainingto get ready for the season. It allows me towork on getting better. You can always getbetter.”

    goal, just suiting up for the Sevenswas a personal victory for Davis.The last time the basketball worldsaw Davis, he pressed his hands tohis head in pain as he was taken off the MSG court on a s tretcher.

    Davis crumbled when his knee

    gave out as he dribbled upcourt on afast break. Some players lookedaway as replays of the gruesomeinjury were shown on the overheadvideo board.

    Davis also suffered a partial tear of the patell a tendon and was told he’dneed at least a year to recover. Ittook almost three.

    “When I go t hurt, I k ind of wantedto give myself amnesia as far asbeing a basketball player,” Davissaid.

    What fueled his rehabilitation,though, was what Davis could notforget — the final image of himself 

    on the court was on a stretcher, notwalking away on his own terms.

    He played pickup games in theLos Angeles area with NBA playersand worked out at his alma mater,UCLA. Davis — who averaged 16.1points and 7.2 assists over 835career games — truly got t he itch toreturn around November. His agentput out feelers and there were offersfrom the ABA and overseas, butDavis stayed patient and his namewas entered early this year in th e D-League available p layer pool .

    Davis sat unclaimed, unwanted.The Sevens had two of the top D-

    League guards until Sean Kilpatrickand Jordan McRae, their top scor-ers, recently signed 10-day NBAcontracts with Brooklyn andCleveland, respectively.

    So why not take a run at Davis?The 87ers are affiliated with the

    76ers. Davis is free to sign with anyNBA team, but he isn’t expecting acall-up any time soon.

    “I made it th is far, which is crazy,”he said. “This is my NBA rightnow.”

    Davis practiced once, went

    through shootaround with theSevens and entered for the first timewith 6:44 left in th e first quarter. Hemissed a pull-up jumper on h is firstshot, then slammed home twopoints with 1:06 left in the quarter.

    “He’s so smart, that’s the thingthat stood out above everything. Idon’t know if that’s an indictmenton our guys or if he’s a just a guywith that much experience,” Sevenscoach Kevin Young said, laughing.

    Davis took the microphonebefore the game, thanked fans for

    attending and wished “best of luckfor both teams.”

    Davis will ride the team bus at 5a.m. Saturday to hit the airport forthe first of two commercial flightsto Iowa for the next game. No firstclass. No gourmet meals. And theRitz Carlton? Try a night at theQuality Inn.

    “The fact that Baron’s doing this,you’ve got to love basketball,”Young said. “I don’t know if heknows exactly what he’s gettinginto.”

    Davis can only hope it’s a tripback to the NBA.

    1-on-1 matchup with the Spartans’goalkeeper and fired for the score.

    “I’m not the most aggressiveplayer, but I give it all I’ve got,”Kayla Hart said. “That’s just soccer.That’s just the name of the game.”

    The Wildcats’ victory capped afairly remarkable streak in their ownright, as Woodside — sweepingthrough the Open Division bracketwith wins over Santa Teresa 1-0;Mitty 0-0 (4-3 on penalty kicks);and Mountain View — didn’t all ow agoal th roughout the tournament.

    “If you told me they wouldn’t giveup a goal, I would have said youbelong in an insane asylum,”Woodside head coach Jose Navarretesaid.

    Mountain View was handicapped,playing without one of its leadingscorers in junior forward NatashaHarris, who was injured in theSpartans’ 2-0 semifinal win overAptos. Woodside too was s horthand-

    ed, though, as junior midfielder AlexAugulis injured her knee in the semisand was unavailable for action in the

    title game.The Spartans came out strong from

    the opening kickoff, controlling theball for the first 15 minutes. Theyeven earned an early penalty kick,

    but missed wide of the post to keepthe game scoreless.

    During the final 10 minutes of theopening half, however, Aguilerabegan to gather momentum for her

    offense. The senior actually missed agrand opportunity in the 37thminute, firing a shot off the rightpost from the top of the penaltybox. But the Wildcats continued tokeep the pressure on, even to startthe second half.

    “We’re always like that,”Navarrete said. “We’re pretty lethar-gic in the first 10 minutes … andthen we play with a different l evel of intensity as the game goes on.”

    Two minutes prior to Kayla Hart’s

    goal, Mountain View had goodchance when Maddie Neidig gotaround the back row for a 1-on-1look from the wing, but fired highand wide. By the time the Spartansgot their next look, they were trail-ing.

    “We knew they were fast; we knewthey were good,” Woodside seniorBrianna Hart said. “We just matchedup the best we could. And I guess itworked.”

    Brianna Hart is the older sister of Kayla Hart, and the reason the cham-pionship-game hero aimed to playvarsity so ccer this season. A lifer onthe pitch, and coached with herJuventus club team by MountainView head coach Ivan Bandov, KaylaHart was the team captain of theWoodside junior-varsity squad lastseason.

    “Here was a young lady who was along shot to make varsity at thebeginning of the year,” Navarretesaid. “She’s a phenomenal younglady that really works hard.”

    But she wanted the oppo rtunity toplay with her senior sister for oneseason. So, she set the goal to earn avarsity spot.

    “I knew I was going to do whatev-er it took to get a spot on this team,”Kayla Hart said.

    Brianna Hart came up big with two

    defensive plays in the closing min-utes. First, in the 76th minute, shechased down a potential breakawayby Spartans forward Ysa Baluyotwith a sliding tackle. Then in the77th minute, amid a furious scrum inthe keeper’s box, Brianna Hart hadone of several deflections before theWildcats cleared it to avert disaster.

    The title is Woodside’s third all-time, but just its second sole cham-pionship. In 2013, during Aguilera’sfreshman campaign, the Wildcatssettled for a Division I co-champi-onship after a tie in the title matchwith Santa Teresa.

    “I feel we really deserve this,”Aguilera said. “My ninth-grade sea-son … we got that co-championshipbut it feels great being a true cham-pion by winning t he championshipgame.”
