askedrepeatedlyabouther wedding plans since arriv- ing in Australia. She gave a clearer time frame for dis- cussion on that. "February I'll start look- ing at the bigger picture of my life," she said. "But right now I'm just so fo- cused that this is kind of all I can think about." Williams played almost flawless tennis to take a 5-0 lead in the second set. Then came the rustiness that can follow a lengthy layoff. But after three double faults — including one on match point — Williams held on to improve her re- cord in the first round of majors to 65-1. She'll next play Lucie Safarova, who saved nine match points before beating Yanina Wickmayer 3-6, 7-6 (7), 6-1. Nadal, also on the come- back from a couple of months on the sidelines following the U.S. Open with an injured left wrist, had a 6-3, 6-4, 6-4 win over Florian Mayer to go one better than he did last year in Australia. "I'm happy to do an in- terview with you — last year, I didn't have the chance!" Nadal said in his on-court interview. In a 5-hour, 15-minute encounter on Court 19, 37-year-old Ivo Karlovic held off Horacio Zeballos of Argentina 6-7 (6), 3-6, 7-5, 6-2, 22-20 in a match that set a record for most number of games (84) at the Australian Open in the tie- break era. Karlovic also fin- ished with a tournament- record 75 aces. Tennis FROMPAGE1 to build, so the chances of me standing on the side- lines for the Warriors are slim to hopeful. Maybe as, like, the coach of another team. "So far, so good, so hope- fully I'll still be here." Next, Golden State will likely work to keep both two-time reigning MVP Stephen Curry and Du- rant for the long haul by negotiating new deals this year. Kerr speaks to Du- rant daily and knows he is happy with his new Bay Area surroundings. "We're going to win for a long time. ... We'll do what- ever it takes to be champi- ons again," Lacob said of spending on players. He even publicly put KD on the spot: "Kevin Durant came here without a new arena. Thank you, Kevin ... and also for agreeing to re- sign this summer. I have no idea how he's going to re- spond to that." The Warriors did a little bit of everything to show- case how this will be far more than just a sports venue: The over-the-top groundbreaking featured a trio of songs by a gos- pel choir to kick off fes- tivities, included a perfor- mance by the San Fran- cisco Symphony and even acrobatic dancers dressed as construction workers for a grand finale of sorts that included beach balls dropping from an excava- tor before the equipment rigs moved in synchroni- zation to the music in an extravagant routine featur- ing trampolines. Only boosting the mood was the California Su- preme Court's decision ear- lier in the day to deny a pe- tition by arena opponents seeking to overturn the Warriors' entitlements, fur- ther clearing the way for the project to move ahead — "so we're totally good to go here," Lacob noted. "Wow, what a day!" said Warriors COO Rick Welts, noting the team will boast one of the world's premier "gathering places" — for concerts and conventions, political events and more. "Every city needs it. We need it. It will be great for San Francisco," co-owner Peter Guber said. "We now have proof, not just prom- ises." Warriors FROM PAGE 1 warped statistics and shat- tered records. Even if the final tally for Bonds ends up being nearer to 55 percent, it still would represent a major momen- tum surge toward an even- tual place in Cooperstown, N.Y. It would be the third consecutive year in which he edged closer, after going from 34.7 percent in 2014 to 36.8 percent in 2015 and 44.3 percent last year. But Bonds still faces a highly uncertain path to Cooperstown. He would have five more ballots to build to 75 percent. So it only takes one hard- line voter who has vowed never to support players stained by a connection to steroids, such as Tom Verducci of Sports Illus- trated, to cancel out three Bonds voters. If Bonds doesn't get in via the BBWAA, his can- didacy would pass on to the veterans committees — groups composed of his- torians and Hall of Fame players who have shown lit- tle compassion for admit- ted or suspected steroid us- ers. So these next five years probably represent his best chance. So why the sudden surge in support for Bonds? There are three main reasons: • The electorate is get- ting younger. In the past, BBWAA members who held active status for 10 con- secutive seasons received lifetime voting privileges. But last year, the Hall of Fame imposed changes on BBWAA eligibility and culled the ranks of voters by eliminating those who have not actively covered baseball within 10 years. At the same time, new voters earn the ballot ev- ery year when they achieve their decade of service — and most of these voters take a different view of the steroid era. Thibodaux's data set includes the bal- lots of 12 first-time voters; 11 of them checked Bonds and Clemens. "Writers come and go," Hall of Fame pitcher John Smoltz said. "New writ- ers haven't covered an era from 20 or 30 years ago. They might look at it a dif- ferent way." • Time lends perspective. Journalists might write the first draft of history, but a shrine like the Hall of Fame preserves that history for posterity. Many writers ex- pressed reluctance at ren- dering instant judgment over steroid-era players like Bonds and Clemens, prefer- ring to take their time and benefit from a deeper per- spective on what it all re- ally meant. For many voters, five years appears to be long enough — especially after Mike Piazza, a widely sus- pected but unproven ste- roid user, was voted into the Hall of Fame last year. Piazza's induction was a chief reason that Oakland (Mich.) Press columnist Pat Caputo cited for checking Bonds and Clemens for the first time. "Why the change? Be- cause I know with strong certainty there are players inducted into the Hall of Fame who used PEDs," Ca- puto wrote. "The flood gate has been opened. What I am less certain about is who did exactly what, when and to a degree it actually enhanced performance. … I have never felt comfort- able with being the moral police. To me, Hall of Fame induction is first and fore- most an award for baseball achievement, not a good guy honor." Former Associated Press baseball reporter Mike Nadel wrote on his blog that he placed a five-year moratorium on Bonds and Clemens. He also shifted course and checked their names for the first time. "Simply stated, Bonds and Clemens were two of the best players I saw dur- ing my long career as a baseball reporter and col- umnist," Nadel wrote. "That was the case even be- fore they reportedly started taking steroids. Further- more, for what it's worth, both have been publicly exonerated — Bonds by the courts and Clemens by Congress." • Bud Selig will be in- ducted in July, and that is a game changer. Thibodaux has tallied 21 voters who publicly dis- closed listing Bonds for the first time, and one of them, Hartford Courant colum- nist Jeff Jacobs, summa- rized the rationale that many of them stated: "When Selig recently sailed into his own Hall of Fame induction, anointed by a 16-member "Today's Era" committee, it was clear that I could not ig- nore the colossal contradic- tion," Jacobs wrote. "The man in charge when ste- roids raged is in the Hall? And so many of the great- est players of the Steroid Era are out?" Peter Botte of the New York Daily News wrote that "the time has come to end the resistance." "It certainly seems dis- ingenuous and hypocrit- ical now to not open the doors or at least recon- sider the candidacies of some of these lingering for- mer stars of the game, their reputations forever sullied and irreparably damaged anyway, after people who benefited from their trans- gressions — such as Selig and, let's face it, a few big- name managers who wrote their names into their line- ups with regularity — have been so enshrined." Longtime Chicago Cubs beat writer Bruce Miles, an- other first-time Bonds and Clemens voter, also cited Selig's induction: "Maybe they all deserve each other anyway, but glory for one should be glory for all." For now, the glory is most likely to be bestowed on Tim Raines and Jeff Bagwell. Raines, in his 10th and final year of eligibility, was listed on 91.6 percent of public ballots while Bag- well, who finished 12 votes short of enshrinement last year, already has picked up 16 new supporters among public ballots and stood at 90.6 percent.

NOTICE TO PO- TENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are con- sidering bidding on this proper- ty lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in biddin g at a trustee auction. You g will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bid- der at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien be- ing auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priori- ty, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county re- corder's office or a title insur- ance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this in- formation. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mort- gage or deed of trust on the property.

Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that oc- cur close in time to the sched- uled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone in- formation or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.
