Broadway By the Bay, a Peninsula theater staple for 47 seasons, is campaigning to raise $500,000 to erase its current nancial decit created in part because the family-friendly ticket pricing doesnt fully cover the cost of production and create a cushion for future seasons. The theater and its board knows the year deadline for the SOS Save Our
Shows campaign is a little aggressive, said Executive Director Jim Gardia. But Gardia and the theaters board would rather ask the public for help than risk compromising its product or worstcase scenario see the lights dimmed for good. Gardia, though, said he and the others are determined that will never happen. We are all on board and banding together, Gardia said. In putting the companys plight public, Gardia also wants it clear there are no
plans to shut down or skimp on production values at all regardless of the bottom line. We dont touch the quality. Sometimes we have to get a little creative but thats our job. What we put on that stage is what goes, he said. The not-for-prot theater grew out of a San Mateo Recreation Department program known as Music Camp during the 1950s. Over time, the program grew,

Noting problems of vandalism, a group of residents have requested the closure of a 10-foot-wide paved pedestrian walkway in San Bruno a proposal the City Council will consider tonight. Memory Lane is a pedestrian and bike walkway that crosses Elm Avenue, Poplar Avenue, Linden Avenue and Grace Honda ending at El Camino Real. The paved walkway is connected across residential streets by crosswalks. Last year, 14 property owners whose homes run up against the easement and the owner of Grace Honda approached the city about closing Memory Lane in hopes of stopping problems like vandalism, grafti and alcohol and drug use. On Tuesday, the City Council will discuss the possible closure. Sam Azar, one of the residents requesting the closure, explained its a safety issue. Azar sought the closure after students using the walkway threw a rock through his window which hit his 90-year-old mother. That prompted his mothers caretaker to leave the position out of fear. Azar explained the neighbors simply want these sort of prob-

SACRAMENTO Californias tax revenues will fall $6.5 billion short of Gov. Jerry Browns prediction, even with an expected boost from Facebooks initial public stock offering and if voters approve the governors proposed tax initiative later this year, according to a forecast released Monday. The nonpartisan Legislative Analysts Ofce found that projected tax revenue for the coming scal year will remain lower than Brown estimated in his January budget pro-
posal. Without the Facebook IPO, revenue could be $8.5 billion lower. If the analysts prediction comes true, it could widen the states current $9.2 billion decit. Along with mixed signals from Jerry Brown the overall economy, the governor and Legislature face difcult decisions ahead.

This Day in History
1942
The heavy cruiser USS Houston and the Australian light cruiser HMAS Perth came under attack by Japanese forces during the World War II Battle of Sunda Strait; both were sunk shortly after midnight.
In 1844, a 12-inch gun aboard the USS Princeton exploded as the ship was sailing on the Potomac River, killing Secretary of State Abel P. Upshur, Navy Secretary Thomas W. Gilmer and several others. In 1849, the California gold rush began in earnest as regular steamship service started bringing gold-seekers to San Francisco. In 1861, the Territory of Colorado was organized. In 1911, President William Howard Taft nominated William H. Lewis to be the rst black Assistant Attorney General of the United States. In 1951, the Senate committee headed by Estes Kefauver, D-Tenn., issued an interim report saying at least two major crime syndicates were operating in the U.S. In 1953, scientists James D. Watson and Francis H.C. Crick announced they had discovered the double-helix structure of DNA, the molecule that contains the human genes. In 1960, a day after defeating the Soviets at the Winter Games in Squaw Valley, Calif., the United States won its first Olympic hockey gold medal by defeating Czechoslovakias team, 9-4.

Chimpanzees get pregnant despite vasectomies
NEW ORLEANS After two unexpected pregnancies at a sanctuary for retired research chimpanzees, other females have been put on birth control and the males are getting another round of vasectomies. The first recent pregnancy at the Chimp Haven Inc. facility near Shreveport in northwest Louisiana was discovered on Valentines Day when a worker noticed Flora, a 29-year-old chimp, was carrying a newborn. Chimpanzees like to carry things around, and the worker thought at rst that Flora was holding a stuffed animal. Then she saw a tiny foot, the sanctuarys director, Linda Brent, said Monday. The birth was denitely a surprise. Every male gets a vasectomy before being sent to Chimp Haven because theres a surplus of captive chimpanzees. All the males in the group have been vasectomized. Two of them have been vasectomized twice, Brent said. One of those snipped twice was Conan after he was identied as the father of a baby born in January 2007. Another chimpanzee got the operation a second time because records seemed a little bit questionable, Brent said. Following the birth this month, the other seven females in Floras group were given pregnancy tests. An ultrasound Friday confirmed 49-year-old Ginger was pregnant and due in late July or early August, Brent said. The females are now on birth control until the males can be operated on again, Brent said. Chimps seem able to grow back the tube that carries sperm from the testicles, even though veterinary surgeons cut out about 3 inches of each tube and close the ends, she said. We dont know if thats the case here or if the original vasectomy hadnt been done as well as it could be, she said. She said the next round of vasectomies will use a more complex procedure, developed at another sanctuary, in hopes the tubes cant grow back together. It will take at least a month to determine who fathered Floras baby, a female. The baby hasnt been named. The sanctuary is holding a naming contest through March. Chimp Haven opened in 2005 with 31 animals formerly used in medical or scientic research. It now has 132 chimps in 18 groups, and room for nearly 70 more animals. Zoo spokeswoman Susan OCain says one cubic yard of the manure will be available for $43 a load. The manure sells out quickly, and each order is limited to two loads. Zoo animals produce about 1,500 pounds of manure every day. For those interested in small amounts, pint-size and two-gallon buckets are placed at zoo entrances throughout the year. OCain says the poop will be available for pickup on March 23. Orders may be placed through www.riverbanks.org .

rearm, two counts of robbery, one count of attempted carjacking and vehicle theft. They have pleaded not guilty. Prosecutors believe Resendez, who is also charged with personally using a rearm, was the ringleader and shooter in the string of crimes while Herrera is ngered as the driver and lookout. According to authorities, the four males robbed a Shell gas station on Hickey Boulevard in Pacifica on Aug. 20, 2010. Herrera drove the group in a Toyota stolen from Sunnyvale and acted as lookout while the others went inside. When the clerk was slow opening the register, Resendez allegedly shot him four times in the legs before the group ed without taking any cash. The group then headed to South San Francisco where they allegedly robbed at gunpoint a 7-Eleven store on Callan Boulevard, using the same method of Herrera as lookout. In Colma, the group allegedly approached a taxi driver wanting to take the cab as a new vehicle. One person reportedly tried to stab the driver in the neck but hit his hand when he put it up in defense. They reportedly ed again and were later spotted by Daly City police who recognized the vehicle from reports of the earlier incidents and of a stolen car from Sunnyvale. The group jumped from the car and police later discovered the handgun about 20 yards away and Herrera in the backyard of a nearby residence. Herrera and Bustos-Mendez are in custody in lieu of $1 million bail while Resendez is held on $3 million bail and Marquez is on nobail status. Herrera is scheduled for trial April 16 while Marquez and Resendez are set for trial July 9.

State seeks suspension of foreclosures

WASHINGTON California officials have asked the federal government to suspend foreclosures in the state and consider reducing mortgages for those at-risk homeowners who have loans backed by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Attorney General Kamala D. Harris made the request in a letter sent Friday to the Federal Housing Finance Agency, which oversees Fannie and Freddie. Since 2008, more than 500,000 Californians have lost their homes to foreclosure, more than any other state in the country. Fannie and Freddie own or guarantee more than 60 percent of California mortgages.
A $25 billion settlement with the nations top mortgage lenders announced earlier this month requires the banks to reduce loans for about 1 million households that are at risk of foreclosure. But those dont include mortgages back by Fannie or Freddie. Fannie and Freddie buy mortgage loans from primary lenders, pool them, and sell them with a guarantee that investors will be paid even if borrowers default. The agencies have helped people buy homes at affordable interest rates. The two nearly collapsed in 2008, after the subprime mortgage market collapsed and defaults and foreclosures piled up. The government seized them in September 2008.

Obama urges governors to boost education funds

By Beth Fouhy
WASHINGTON President Barack Obama Monday urged the nations governors to invest more state resources in education, saying a highly skilled workforce is crucial for the U.S. to remain competitive with other countries. Obama made his pitch at a White House meeting with governors in Washington as part of the annual winter meeting of the National Governors Association. The president and rst lady Michelle Obama hosted a black tie dinner with the governors Sunday night. Obama said at Mondays session that he sympathized with governors whose state budgets have been badly squeezed during the economic downturn. But he said that was no reason to trim resources from schools. The fact is that too many states are making cuts in education that I think are simply too big, Obama
said. Nothing more clearly signals what you value as a state than the decisions you make about where to invest. Budgets are about choices. He reafrmed his view that decisions about education should be left to states and not the federal government. I believe education is an issue that is best addressed at the state level, the president said, and governors are in the best position to have the biggest impact. It was a message directed largely to Republican governors, many of whom have complained of too much federal intrusion in state matters including education. Several prominent GOP governors were in the room as the president spoke, including Chris Christie of New Jersey and Bobby Jindal of Louisiana. Obama earlier this month granted waivers to 11 states, freeing them from some of the toughest requirements of the No Child Left Behind Act, as long as they measure student progress with their own standards.

MENLO PARK Daniel Macias is the face of Silicon Valley seldom seen by those who dont live there. When he was 19, he wasnt starting what would become one of the worlds most successful tech companies, like Mark Zuckerberg did at that age when he founded Facebook. Macias spent his 19th birthday behind bars, where hed been sentenced for assault. Now 20, Macias spent a recent day learning to build houses as part of a construction job training program near Facebooks headquarters. He hopes to join the carpenters union when he nishes the program. If I wasnt going to school, I would have been in the streets, Macias said. Money and jobs abound in Silicon Valley for people with the right hightech or business skills. For those who dont, the Great Recession has meant the same challenge as any-
where else in the country. Facebook moved into its new ofces on the former campus of Sun Microsystems along San Francisco Bay not long before announcing plans for an initial public offering. Inside, employees wrestle with the enviable problem of what to do with their money once the IPO makes them overnight millionaires. A short drive down the road, East Palo Alto saw the number of murders double from four to eight, a significant spike for a city of just 28,000 people. Average income hovers just under $18,000 annually, compared to more than $66,000 for Silicon Valley as a whole. The unemployment rate in December was 17 percent, compared to 8.3 percent region-wide. Those disparities stem in part from the complicated histories of the small cities that span the Highway 101 corridor threading through the heart of Silicon Valley, and in part from national economic

San Francisco Superior Court Judge Garrett Wong ruled Monday that the video of a tearful Eliana Lopez fell under an exception in the law that generally bars hearsay.

LIVONIA, Mich. On the eve of a Michigan showdown, Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum swapped insults Monday in a struggle for the Republican presidential nomination growing so long and heated that party ofcials fretted openly it could harm prospects for winning the White House this fall. On this day, the subject was their competing plans for the economy. Sen. Santorum is a nice guy, but hes never had a job in the private sector, Romney said as he and his closest rival charged across the state in a nal day of pre-primary campaigning. Santorum said Romneys tax cut plans mirror the rhetoric of Occupy Wall Street and include just more Obama-style class warfare. The Santorum campaign sponsored computerized phone calls urging Michigan
Democrats to vote against Romney in the states Republican primary, which is allowed if they declare themselves Republicans for the purpose of voting. Romney called the effort a dirty trick in a Fox News interMitt Romney view Monday night, but Santorum defended the robocall as positive and told the network that the calls were part of an effort to attract Democratic voters he would need in a general election. The ubiquitous polls showed a close race in Michigan, where Romney Rick Santorum was born and won a primary in his rst bid for the White House four years ago.

Activist group: 144 dead across Syria

By Ben Hubbard
BEIRUT A Syrian activist group reported Monday that 144 people have been killed across the country, scores of them in the embattled opposition stronghold of Homs by security forces as they tried to ee. A team from the Syrian arm of the Red Cross delivered aid to one of the citys most dangerous neighborhoods after days of trying to reach the area. The activist group did not say whether all 144 died on Monday or were killed over the past few days. Many of the casualties were believed to be from the rebel-controlled Baba Amr neighborhood of
Homs, which the Syrian Arab Red Crescent entered late Monday. Also in the neighborhood are two wounded foreign journalists along with the bodies of two of their colleagues who were killed last week. European and American diplomats and aid workers have been trying desperately to nd a way to evacuate them, but Red Cross spokeswoman Carla Haddad said late Monday that the Red Crescent had not managed to get them out. She did not know whether the group had stopped trying for the evening. Homs has emerged as the center of the 11-month-old uprising seeking to oust authoritarian President Bashar Assad and has borne the
brunt of his regimes bloody crackdown on dissent. Parts of the city have been surrounded for weeks, making it impossible for rescue workers to reach the wounded and for families to bring their dead and injured to the hospital. Reports by numerous activists that more than 60 bodies were brought to the hospital, all of whom appeared to have died in one incident, reect the spreading carnage. The high death toll reported by the Local Coordination Committees activist group is sure to add to the growing international pressure on Assad to give up power. But so far, his regime has shown no signs that it is ready to leave peacefully.

Brent crude, which is used to price oil thats imported by U.S. reneries, lost $1.30 to nish at $124.17 per barrel in London. Analysts say a standoff between the West and Iran over its nuclear program continues to keep oil prices around nine-month highs. But some traders sold contracts to lock in profits following a 9 percent rise since Valentines Day. Some people are getting out now just because oil is at those high levels, PFGBest analyst Phil Flynn said. Western nations fear that Iran is building a nuclear weapon and have been trying to get international inspectors into its facilities.
WASHINGTON The Obama administration is sticking determinedly to its stay-the-course message in Afghanistan despite a week of anti-American riots, the pointblank killing of U.S. military advisers and growing election-year demands to bring the troops home. In an echo of the Bush administration on continuing the unpopular war in Iraq, the White House and Pentagon insisted Monday that the
wave of violence against Americans will not derail the war strategy in Afghanistan or speed up the calendar for bringing American forces home. We work alongside thousands of Afghans every single day to ensure a better future for the Afghan people. And nothing that has happened over the past week is going to deter us from that goal, Pentagon spokesman George Little said. Were making progress. We have put the enemy on its heels in many parts of the country. Administration spokesmen were
at pains to answer the larger question of whether to keep ghting a war that has lost support not only in the United States but also among the people the U.S. has pledged to protect. The perception that Afghans are ungrateful for U.S. sacrifice and are turning on their American advisers complicates President Barack Obamas plan to ease out of combat against Taliban extremists over the next two years. Under current strategy, tens of thousands of U.S. forces will remain in Afghanistan at least through the end of this year and
Afghan forces would have full control of the countrys security by the end of 2014. Both Democrats and Republicans have said the timetable should move up. White House spokesman Jay Carney said the violence will not mean faster troop withdrawal. He pointed to Obamas rationale for expanding the war early in his presidency. The No. 1 priority, the reason why U.S. troops are in Afghanistan in the rst place, is to disrupt, dismantle and ultimately, ultimately defeat al-Qaida, Carney said.

BERLIN The German parliament approved a second, (euro) 130 billion ($173 billion) loan package for Greece on Monday after Chancellor Angela Merkel warned lawmakers that it would be irresponsible to abandon the country to bankruptcy. Although the motion was always
expected to be easily approved the nal tally Monday was 496-90 with ve abstentions the idea of bailing out Greece has remained very unpopular in Germany, Europes biggest economy, among the public and many politicians. The road that lies in front of Greece is long and truly not without risk, Merkel told lawmakers before the vote.

OPINION
Guest perspective
Worth the wait?

very four years. After tomorrow, that stretch is how long we must wait again until another Leap Year. Granted, one pal who is salaried rather than paid hourly claims the extra day shoving its way into February is just a terrible excuse to get another cycle of work without another day of pay. In other words, call Occupy. Leap Year is obviously just a product of The Man or maybe just 1 percent of men. But unless youre among the previously mentioned grumps of the world or one of those Feb. 29 birthday boys and girls who spend their adult lives being given gag gifts aimed at children a quarter their real age, the day is pretty harmless. Leap Year, according to foklore, even gives the gals a chance at proposing without old-fashioned society looking askance. One year passes, then another, then another and finally like Brigadoon Feb. 29 pops up for 24 hours before slinking away again. So why cant other events take a cue and only show up every four years? Granted, presidential elections already happen on that cycle but the never-ending march to the polls primaries, conventions, mud-slinging, promises, apologies leaves little room for silence between the dates. The Olympic Games also once spent three years building anticipation before finally lighting the torch in the fourth. The current schedule staggers the summer and winter games which, while really not a bad idea for those who tend toward televised competition fatigue, also means fewer years free from something Olympic be it be an actual athletic event or just cities bickering over hosting rights. That said, there are several other happenings the world could shelve for four years without causing too much strife. How about awards shows or actually the entire awards season? Otherwise, the hoopla never ends. The Grammys, the Oscars, the Emmys, the daytime Emmys, the MTV awards, Independent Spirit, Peoples Choice, Teen Choice, there might even be the Old Peoples Choice although that probably doesnt get the publicity of the ESPYs, the Golden Globes and any other excuse for statues and ball gowns. The shows themselves dont even include the arrivals, the pre-show shows, the after shows and the next day fashion roundups. Enough already! Saving up the effort for one big blowout every four years gives the general public the chance to actually see some of the flicks, learn the names of the latest singers and ensure that most of the flash-in-the-pans fall from the radar years before the red carpet is unfurled. Technology could also use a delay if for no other reason than to make sure the iPad, laptops and high-definition televisions purchased today are still relevant by the end of the year. And crazy sports phenomenon one or two every four years ought to be enough. This year it was Tebow and Lin-sanity. Everybody else better keep a lid on their idea for international recognition until 2016 because the world cannot suffer any more poor Ben and Jerrys flavors, faulty headlines, bad posers and head-scratching as though there has never before been a devoutly religious athlete. Taxes? Those wouldnt be too bad every four years; Mitt Romney would have ample time to decide if hell release his records. Vehicle license fees would also not be missed. Same goes for jury duty summons, animal vaccines, gas price hikes and Kardashian weddings. Actually, most celebrity unions and their accompanying reality shows should be relegated to the limits of a decade or beyond. The most useful change might be tweaking the daylight savings schedule. The clock would continue springing ahead an hour every year in the beginning of the year but not fall back equally in autumn. Think of all the extra collective sunlight to enjoy before boom! the four-year mark tumbles the hour hand back to where it would otherwise be and starts all over again. After all, thats what a bissextile year is really about syncing the calendar and starting fresh. Maybe it wont really wipe the pop culture slate clean or give the public a much-needed respite from political grandstanding and early sunsets. But why not try? Consider it a leap of faith.

Inside Act of Valor

By Paul McHugh
y hat won a role in the SEAL movie, Act of Valor, which debuted as a box-office hit last weekend. But I wasnt wearing it. The cat in my hat was an active-duty Navy SEAL commando as, indeed, were all SEALs portrayed in this film. Early returns indicate Valor will draw American males in the 18-54 age range. The group I took to a local matinee filled these demographics: four of my teenage nephews, three of their dads and the patriarch of the clan. All of them loved this flick, and felt almost as proud as I was to see my hat appear in a key scene. Film critics, as is their wont, have pounced on flaws like stilted dialog, a pat storyline, a lack of nuanced acting. Theres something to these carpings. Yet in my view, any flaws are completely overwhelmed by the movies virtues. Number one, because many dramatic scenes were filmed amid actual SEAL training exercises, audiences get rare views of clandestine ops, like highaltitude parachute jumps, SEAL support boats that unleash intense firepower and even maneuvers aboard a nuclear missile submarine. A decent subtitle for Valor could be, Your Tax Dollars at Work. We see public funds sluice into the Pentagon, but dont often score a clear picture of whats coming out other than an occasional news expos about $500 hammers. Valor shows more impressive tools in realistic use. Number two, more importantly, this film awards us a close-up on the humans who wield all the potent hardware as they try to keep us safe. Guys such as Peninsula home-boy Rorke Denver, born and raised in Los Altos, After college, he went straight into the SEALs, and like my hat, Denver was a willing volunteer. After joining the teams, he took down drug lords in South America, helped American citizens escape from war-torn Liberia and even fought to stabilize the hellhole of Anbar Province in early days of the Iraq War. Most recently, he served as XO of the Naval Special Warfare Advanced Training Command in Coronado. In Valor, he leads a platoon trying to disrupt an unfolding terrorist attack on

the United States. Denver had doubts about being in the film, but then decided to embrace the project to help the American public better understand whos fighting for them, what the job is like and why they do it. People say theres romance in war, Denver said. If so, you only see it when you come home, and think about the way your brothers went out so valiantly to meet the enemy. Some paid heavily. Fighting is real hard work. You just grind it out, and its scary and hard and challenging and a very emotionally raw experience to be immersed in it. Why do we do it? I hope this film reveals a few things about our special SEAL community, the pride we take in the way our skills and teamwork get the job done. How much our guys care about our brotherhood and our families, and by extension, care about all the families in this country. Thats for real. At the end, the audience sat in silence as a scroll of all the SEALs killed in action since 9/11 unfurled onscreen. Then we filed out, blinking, into the sunlight and into a slice of the world where peace obtains at present, thanks to the sort of courage we had just seen portrayed. Its not a movie where you come out just feeling happy, one nephew said. More like, youre sober. You begin to realize that names on a war monument are not just names on a wall? I asked. He nodded. I think theyll brag about seeing this cool flick to their friends. Perhaps even mention the role played by their uncles hat. Ive teased about the hat enough, so heres its story. Id written about SEAL exploits in the past, and so got invited onto the set while Valor was filmed. The moored museum-ship Midway in San Diego served as a stand-in for the fictional Bonhomme Richard in Valor. A problem: the hairline of the SEAL playing Senior Chief had shifted way south, compared to earlier scenes. They needed to conceal this with a hat. I had a black, Smartwool watchcap, and they asked to borrow it for the shoot. Alas, once my hat got a taste of Hollywood, it never came back. I feel proud that it did yeomans service in a film with a heartfelt, patriotic theme. But if it should ever appear in another movie, I do hope its in a role thats got at least one passionate love scene.

Dow continues its push to close above 13,000
By Joshua Freed
Wall Street
& Poors 500 index rose 1.85 points to 1,367.59, a 3 1/2-year high. The Nasdaq composite index rose 2.41 points to close at 2,966.16, its highest since December 2000. The Dow fell 100 points at the open Monday, then climbed back above 13,000 after a report that the number of Americans who signed contracts to buy homes rose in January to the highest in almost two years. The National Association of Realtors said its index of sales agreements rose 2 percent last month to a reading of 97, the highest since April 2010. A reading of 100 is considered healthy. Financial stocks led the industries gaining ground Monday. They rose 0.9 percent as a group. All nine of the other industry groups in the S&P 500 nished with small gains or narrow losses. Scott Wren, senior equity strategist for Wells Fargo Advisors in St. Louis, said investors have gotten ahead of themselves since October. The S&P 500 is up 8.8 percent this year alone. He said he thinks U.S. economic growth is likely to be a mild 2 percent this year, there are fewer people working now than there were at the end of 2007, and Europe may be in a recession.
Big movers
Stocks that moved substantially or traded heavily Monday on the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq Stock Market: NYSE Lowes Cos.Inc.,up 18 cents at $27.34 The home improvement retailers earnings beat expectations as more homeowners took on renovation projects during the winter months. Cooper Tire & Rubber Co.,up $2.16 at $17.82 The tire company said that its net income more than quadrupled in the fourth quarter mostly because of a large tax-related gain. Arch Coal Inc.,down 41 cents at $13.88 The mining company said that its chief executive, who ran Arch Coal since it was formed in 1997,will be retiring in late April. Nasdaq SodaStream International Ltd., up 60 cents at $45.06 A Janney Capital Markets analyst reiterated his Buyrating on the soda system makers stock citing stronger sales in the U.S. Netix Inc.,down $2.26 at $109.41 A Raymond James analyst downgraded the Internet video service company citing increased competition and slower subscriber growth. Transocean Ltd.Co.,up $2.70 at $53.43 The Swiss offshore rig owner said its fourthquarter loss grew to $6.12 million from last year, but its revenue soared 14 percent. BioSante Pharmaceuticals Inc., up 10 cents at 81 cents The specialty pharmaceutical company said that its pancreatic cancer therapy improved survival in an early clinical trial. TriMas Corp.,up $1.92 at $25.17 The diversied manufacturer said its fourthquarter prot more than doubled on higher sales of its precision cutting tool.
The Dow Jones industrial average narrowly missed 13,000. Again. A burst of selling at the closing bell drove the Dow lower after it hovered around the milestone for most of the afternoon. The average nished the day down a sliver, 0.01 percent, and about 19 points shy of the mark. It was close enough that 9 cents added to the price of each of the 30 stocks in the Dow would have made the difference. And it almost did: American Express lost 14 cents in the last three minutes of trading. Boeing lost a dime in the last two minutes. When trading volume is light as it was Monday, with 3.6 billion shares exchanged someone can come in with a big sell at the end of the day that can sometimes force it one way or the other, said Joe Bell, senior equity analyst at Schaeffers Investment Research. The Dow broke through 13,000 several times last week but hasnt closed above that level since May 19, 2008, four months before the fall of Lehman Brothers investment bank and the worst of the nancial crisis. For the day, the Dow lost 1.44 points and closed at 12,981.51. The Standard
Buffett says stocks, homes are fairly cheap now

By Josh Fink
OMAHA, Neb. Billionaire Warren Buffett said Monday that stocks remain relatively cheap compared to other investments as the economy continues to improve. He also said that the company he heads is prepared to replace him whenever the need arises. The chairman and chief executive of Berkshire Hathaway Inc. addressed a
variety of topics during an interview on the cable TV network CNBC, two days after his annual letter to the conglomerates shareholders was released. Buffett said even though stocks arent as cheap as they were during the depths of the recession in 2008, theyre still a more attractive longterm option than bonds, gold, cash or anything else. Equities are still cheap relative to any other asset class, Buffett said. In his let-
ter, he devoted two pages to explaining why he prefers owning a piece of a productive business instead of bonds or gold. Houses are another attractive investment at current prices, Buffett said. He added he might buy a couple hundred thousand homes if only he could gure out a way to manage them effectively. He said he isnt very handy. Single-family homes are really cheap now too, Buffett said.
Automakers race to keep up with sales

By Tom Krisher
DETROIT Auto sales are growing so fast that Detroit can barely keep up. Three years after the U.S. auto industry nearly collapsed, sales of cars and trucks are surging. Sales could exceed 14 million this year, above last years 12.8 million. The result: Carmakers are adding shifts and hiring thousands of workers around the country. Carmakers and parts companies added more than 38,000 jobs last year, reaching a total of 717,000. And automakers have announced plans to add another 13,000 this year, mostly on night shifts. But theres a downside. The newfound success is straining the factory network of the Detroit automakers, as well as the companies that make the thousands of parts that go into each vehicle. This could lead to shortages that drive up prices.
Business briefs
Mild winter warms Lowes 4Q profit
NEW YORK Lowes Cos. said Monday its scal fourthquarter net income rose 13 percent, better than analysts expected, as homeowners took on more home-improvement projects during mild winter months. The results are the latest sign that the housing sector may slowly be improving. Last week, Lowes larger rival Home Depot Inc. reported its fourth-quarter prot rose for similar reasons. We have seen an uptick in activity, Lowes CEO Robert Niblock said in a telephone interview. We did have favorable weather, but even beyond that theres a greater willingness of the consumer to spend. Home repair and maintenance are still the biggest projects people take on, he said, with demand for larger-scale renovations such as kitchen remodeling still lagging, Niblock said.

County wrestlers represent well at CCS

Menlo-Athertons Andre Delagnes and Serras Tim Glauninger each won a Central Coast Section championship, while Serras Travis Roberts finished second and Half Moon Bays Joseph Lowman took third as all four secured spots to the state championships this weekend in Bakerseld. In addition, Elias Hernandez (Serra), Jerry De La Rosa (Serra), Arthur Gergiev (South City) and Peter Johnson (Sequoia) all had topsix nishes to earn medals over the weekend.
Delagnes, the No. 2 seed, avenged his 2011 loss by beating top-seeded Victor Olmos of Gilroy 4-3 to capture the 120-pound championship. Delagnes, who lost to Olmos in the championship match last year, won his rst two matches by pin, won 7-1 in the quarternals and then needed overtime to beat Oak Groves Paul Rodriguez, 4-2, in the seminals. Glauninger beat San Lorenzo Valleys Ben Landauer 7-2 in the 220-pound championship match. Glauninger also won his rst two matches by pin before recording one-point
wins in both the quarternals and seminals. Roberts advanced to the 126-pound championship match, but was shut out by Gilroys Paul Fox, 6-0. Roberts all but cruised into the nals, winning his rst two matches by a pin. He beat St. Francis Daniel Polanco 9-7 in the quarternals before dominating Gunns Eric Cramer 13-5 in the seminals. The most dramatic match, as far as local wrestlers were concerned, was the third-place match at 170 when Lowman beat Georgiyev 8-3 to grab the last spot to the state tournament, leaving Georgiyev on the outside look-

Sharks are sinking fast

ere we are again. The NHL regular season is winding down and once again, the San Jose Sharks are scufing down the stretch. Havent we seen this before? Havent I written this column before? The Sharks limp home from a ninegame road trip, having won just two times while losing four of their last ve, including a disappointing 4-3 loss at Minnesota Sunday evening, a game they led 3-2, only to see the Wild score twice late in the third period to steal the win. San Jose now sits in seventh place in the Western Conference but, much like Punxsutawney Phil the groundhog will be pulled out of his cave Feb. 2 to predict the weather, the Sharks inevitably will rally to take a higher seed for the playoffs, only to see their season again end is disappointment when they are bounced from the playoffs short of the

Sizemore out for the season

PHOENIX Athletics third baseman Scott Sizemore will miss the entire 2012 season after tearing a ligament in his left knee last weekend during Oaklands rst full-squad workout. Sizemore was injured Saturday at Oaklands spring training camp in Phoenix. He had an MRI and the As announced Monday that he had torn his anterior cruciate ligament. Broken heart right here. Safe to say Ive cried more Scott Sizemore over baseball than anything in my life, tweeted Sizemores wife, Brooke. The 27-year-old Sizemore was acquired by Oakland last May in a trade with Detroit. He hit .249 with 11 home runs and 52 RBIs in 93 games with the As. I really feel badly for Scott, As manager Bob Melvin said. Hes worked extremely hard and was ready for a breakout season this

The nish line is within sight a mere ve days away. And so, standing between eight local teams and potential Central Coast Section glory are eight opponents in seminals matches tomorrow and Wednesday. In the case of the Terra Nova and San Mateo girls basketball teams though, the rivals actually stand in each others way. Bearcats-Tigers IV is scheduled for a 7:15 p.m. tip-off Wednesday night at Sacred Heart Cathedral in San Francisco. Terra Nova is the No. 1 seed in Division III. San Mateo is No. 4. We go into every game with a mindset of, we can win this game, said San Mateo head Nancy Dinges, who was recently named to the 2012 class of the Peninsula Sports Hall of Fame. We know what we can do, we know what we have to do and its just a matter of all those little things I keep telling the girls, its the little things that are going to make us win
... those little things add up. You wouldnt blame San Mateo if they were a little less than thrilled with drawing Terra Nova once again this season. In the three previous matchup, all losses, San Mateo went down by an average score of 64-48. Going as far back as 2005, the Bearcats are 0-6 against the Tigers. San Mateo fans looking for a silver lining in this dont have to go too far. The Bearcats took the Tigers to the brink less than a month ago in a 58-54 victory for Terra Nova. In that game, San Mateo put together a 31point second quarter and led 37-23 after the rst half. Come the end of the third quarter, the Bearcats were still up 49-37. But Terra Nova closed that gap quickly, outscoring San Mateo 21-5 in the fourth period to pick up the win despite shooting only 30 percent from the oor. Come Wednesday, the second half will be huge for the Bearcats. We have to play four quarters, Dinges said. We cannot play thee and half. We have

yet, despite supplying McLellan with a roster that should be the envy of the NHL, he still has yet to nd the right combination. Its not for a lack of trying. Wilson is one of the NHLs most-willing general managers to wheel and deal. He was at it again Monday, trading Jamie McGinn and a couple of prospects to Colorado for a couple of players no one but the most die-hard hockey fans would recognize. He realizes the Sharks have come up short in recent years and he does everything he can to put the team over the hump. Its just that he cant seem to put the Stanley Cup puzzle together. Hes tried ripping players, cajoling players, used both the carrot and stick approach, and nothing is happening. I know, ultimately, it falls on the players, but a franchise cant re the team. Thats why coaches and general managers are the ones to go. Perhaps its time the Sharks do that to shake this team out of it doldrums. *** Menlo-Atherton has decided not to bring back boys basketball coach Senque Carey for a third season. We appreciate all of the time and effort coach Carey put into this program and thank him for his services. We feel at this time it is in the best interest of Menlo-Atherton to go in a different direction with regards to our boys basketball program. We wish coach Carey much success in his future endeavors, said M-A co-athletic director Steven Kryger in an email. We will begin our search for a new coach in the coming weeks. Since coaches in the Peninsula Athletic League are always on year-to-year contracts, any school can make a change at the end of the season for any reason. In his two seasons, Carey guided the Bears to a 9-11 record in PAL play and 25-26 overall. They qualied for the Central Coast Section playoffs during the 2010-2011 season, but somehow failed to be included in the tournament this season, despite a 12-12 overall record. A team just needs a .500 record in league play or overall to earn an invite to CCS. The Bears were 5-5 in PAL Bay Division play a year ago and yet still found themselves moved to the Ocean Division this season, where they nished with a 4-6 mark.

Stanley Cup nals, mainly because they will be too worn out from having to nish the regular season with a urry. Sound familiar? So, whats the problem this year? Is it the players, once again, under-performing? Or does it go deeper, or more correctly, go higher? Even though general manager Doug Wilson has said coach Todd McLellan isnt going anywhere, maybe its time for a new voice in the Sharks dressing room. Listening to both the Sharks radio and watching television broadcasts, weak defense and goaltending appears to be the main culprits, despite San Jose attempts to bolster that end of the ice. The Sharks signed goaltender Antti Niemi to a huge free-agent contract after he stymied the Sharks in the 2010 playoffs when he helped lead the Chicago Blackhawks to the Stanley Cup title. If you cant beat him, sign him to a huge contract, right? Problem is, Niemi has not consistently looked like the goalie who shut down the Sharks two years ago. This year, the big move was to bring in defenseman Brent Burns in a trade with Minnesota. He was supposed to be the missing piece on the blue line, an offensive defenseman who would complement Dan Boyle and give the Sharks one of the best defenses in the league. Eh, not so much. Burns has been decent this season, but I dont think he has made Sharks fans stand up and say Wow! Add in average special teams and it all equals to what weve gotten from the Bay Areas winningest franchise for the last several years a good, but not great, hockey team. Is it McLellans fault? Perhaps. He cut his coaching teeth on the Detroit Red Wings staff, which is hardly an inferior franchise. But at what point does a team tune out its coach? Personally, I think its time to go even higher on the totem pole: as much as I thought Id never say this, perhaps San Jose should look at a change in the general managers chair. Wilson has helped build the Sharks into one of the model franchises in the NHL, but could it be hes lost his golden touch? Most of the players the Sharks have acquired and drafted have come on Wilsons watch, and
Sharks trade for offense

SAN JOSE The struggling San Jose Sharks acquired forwards Daniel Winnik and T.J. Galiardi from the Colorado Avalanche on Monday for forward Jamie McGinn and two prospects in a move to bolster their depth and penalty killing for a playoff push. San Jose also acquired Anaheims 2013 seventh-round pick, previously held by the Avalanche, and sent minor leaguers Mike Connelly and Michael Sgarbossa to Colorado in the deal that came just before the NHL trade deadline. The trade happened while the Sharks were ying home from Minnesota after wrapping up a 2-6-1 road trip that knocked them out of rst place in the Pacic Division and left them in a ght for a playoff spot with six weeks remaining in the season. Its nice when things have not been going the way you want to get some new life in the locker room, said injured defenseman Douglas Murray, who left the trip early after being hit in the throat with a puck. Hopefully this will kick start us out of our funk. Thats just what general manager Doug Wilson hoped to accomplish with the trade. The Sharks head into the stretch run in seventh place in the Western Conference with 71 points. San Jose trails rst-place Phoenix by two points in the division race and is just Doug Wilson three points ahead of Colorado and Los Angeles for the nal playoff spot in the conference. The recent struggles contributed to the need to make the deal. The Sharks allowed 35 goals in the nine games, including nine in 31 power plays for the opposition. San Jose is the third worst penalty killing team in the league this season at 77.4 percent, a problem that has plagued the team all season. We got kicked in the butt pretty good. Now comes an opportunity to reveal your character and how you deal with that. Adding some players I think is important, Wilson said. Now is Wiley had a rst-round bye before winning 9-1 in her second-round match and then an 81 decision to advance to the nal four. She was pinned in her semifinal match.

She won her third match of the tournament by pin and wrapped up seventh place by beating Pittsburgs Lachae Banks. Other local girls had good showings as well.

won by Hale Irwin at 7-over par. The temptation to restore the toughest test in golf certainly has washed up on San Franciscos shores. Rory McIlroy nished at 16-under 268 last year on the rain-softened course in Bethesda, Md., the kind eye-popping digits more likely at a lower-tier PGA Tour stop. Runner-up Jason Day of Australia shot 8 under, and 20 players nished under par all of which the USGA blames more on unexpected rain than anything else. Consider: Days score would have been enough to win 46 of the previous 50 U.S. Opens and force a playoff in three others. And in the previous six national championships, seven players total nished under par. The challenge for the USGA is nding a balance between maintaining its standards and turning the tournament into a gimmick. We dont want to see well executed shots penalized, Davis said. When setting up a course as tough as the U.S. Open, its really splitting hairs sometimes of not actually doing that. Our goal is to test the players mentally, physically, and test their shot-making skills. The course, still months away from being U.S. Open ready, is on pace to do just that. More than half of the holes have dog legs, including four where the fairways many some of the most narrow anywhere will go in opposite directions. The elevation constantly changes mimicking those steep rises from the citys hills in the distance and the unleveled lies could prove particularly perplexing. The front nine will play at a par 34 and the back nine a par 36. The rst hole is now a par 4 and the 17th a par 5; the eighth hole, once one of the easiest on the course, is entirely new from 1998 with little room for error along the rightside trees. The par-5 17th can play as long as 670 yards on the back tees, which Davis expects to happen at least two days. The longest hole in Open history is the 667-yard Par-5 12th in 2007 at Oakmont, according to the USGA. Im going to try to park my cart and watch that hole, Davis said of the 17th. Probably hide when Im doing it, but nonetheless, I think its going to be a very, very exciting hole. Olympic has historically been more famous for the stars that have lost than won. The place where champions go to die, as some call it, saw Arnold Palmer lose a seven-shot lead to Billy Casper with nine holes to go in 1966. Jack Fleck also beat Ben Hogan in an 18-hole playoff at Olympic in 1955, the rst of four previous times the club hosted the U.S. Open. And Scott Simpson won by a stroke over Tom Watson in 1987. My predecessors predecessor, which was Frank Hannigan, I read a quote of his, and he said, Something always magical seems to happen at Olympic, Davis said. There is something magical about it.

U.S. Open course will be challenging BALL


to start off strong and nish strong, especially in the second half. Theyre up for the challenge. Two weeks ago, at the PAL tournament, the Tigers ran the Bearcats out of the Sequoia High School gym in the tourney nal, 77-51. In the three wins against San Mateo this season, Terra Novas Big 3, Terilyn Moe, Ivonne Cook-Taylor and Jayzyl Tauala, averaged 16, 22 and 12 points per game respectively. Terra Nova hasnt lost to a PAL team since January of 2010 when they fell to Mills 66-57. Speaking of familiar foes, the Serra boys basketball team faces off against St. Francis in CCS Division II action. Tip-off for their latest chapter of their warfare is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. at Foothill College in Los Altos. Serra comes into as the No. 2 seed after taking care of business against Cupertino on Saturday. St. Francis needed overtime to handle Palo Alto 70-64. The Padres enjoy a recent run of success against the Lancers on the basketball court. Serra has won the last four matchups, although only by an average margin of four points. Up until 2009, the Lancers won at least six straight games against their WCAL rivals. Padre eyes will be on Drew Hickey (WCAL First Team member) and Khalid Johnson (WCAL Second Team). Hickey and Johnson combined for 37 points against Palo Alto and are averaging 11.3 and 8.8 points per game respectively. Hickey, a center, leads the team in rebounding average per game at 7.4 per. A couple of local venues are hosting CCS action on Tuesday. First at Notre Dame-Belmont, Menlo School tries to continue their run of upsets as the No. 6 when they take on No. 2 Soquel at 5:30 in Division IV girls basketball. Menlo beat No. 3 Scotts Valley behind another a pair of double-doubles courtesy of Maddie Price and Drew Edelman. Lauren Lete, the reigning Daily Journal Athlete of the Week, scored nine points in the 39-35 win. In the Notre Dame nightcap, the home Tigers take on No. 1 seed Mercy-San Francisco. Notre Dame needed overtime to get past Sacred Heart Prep 47-43. Speaking of Menlo, the high school hosts the Sacred Heart Prep boys as the No. 3 seed against No. 7 Harker in Division IV action. Tip-off for that contest is scheduled for 7:15 p.m. Cole McConnell scored 24 points in the Gators quarternal win against The Kings Academy. In the bottom half of that bracket, Half Moon Bay looks to continue their CCS run. Theyll have to do it against No. 1 Palma in the 5:30 matchup. On Wednesday night in Division III boys basketball, El Camino hoops it up as the lone Peninsula Athletic League representative in a bracket owned by the WCAL. The Colts take on St. Ignatius at 5:30 p.m. S.I., Valley Christian and Sacred Heart Cathedral are still alive representing the WCAL in Division III.
SAN FRANCISCO If USGA executive director Mike Davis has his way, the record low scores at last years U.S. Open at Congressional are unlikely to travel to the West Coast. Davis said Monday at San Franciscos majestic Olympic Club that the course will be the hardest start in a U.S. Open when players tee off June 14. The unleveled Lake Course in the serene setting just across the street from the Pacic Ocean will play at a Par-70 7,170 yards 373 yards longer than the last time it hosted the national championship in 1998 including the 670-yard 16th hole that is one of the longest Par 5s in the events history. Windy conditions and the threat of the citys famous fog also could make the hilly course with fast fairways even tougher. I am convinced that this will be the hardest start in a U.S. Open, Davis said after walking the course on a sun-soaked day along the California coast. The rst six holes are going to just be brutal. I would contend if you play the rst six holes 2 over, I dont think youre giving up anything to the eld. In decades past, the usual reaction has been to overcompensate after so many red numbers ended up on the leaderboard. The best example mightve come when Johnny Miller shot 63 on a rainsoftened Oakmont course in the 1973 U.S. Open. The USGA got even a year later in the Massacre at Winged Foot,

Daytona 500 gets red hot

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. There was rain, re, soap suds and fog in the most bizarre Daytona 500 in history. When it was all over, Matt Kenseth was the only sure thing. It wasnt even close. Kenseth capped a crazy 36 hours for NASCAR by winning the rst postponed Daytona 500 in 55 editions of the marquee event. He held off Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Roush Fenway Racing teammate Greg Bife over a two-lap overtime nish in a race that was scheduled to begin Sunday afternoon but ended in the early morning hours Tuesday. Rain at Daytona International Speedway rst forced NASCAR to push the race to Monday afternoon, then Monday night for the rst-ever 500 in primetime television. Then a freak accident caused a massive fuel re that stopped the race for two hours as safety workers used Tide laundry detergent to clean up the track.
When the racing nally resumed, it was obvious it was Kenseths to lose as nobody had anything to challenge his Ford. Journeyman driver Dave Blaney was leading when a problem with Juan Pablo Montoyas car sent him spinning under caution into a safety truck. The truck, which holds 200 gallons of jet kerosene, burst into ames. Montoyas car slid into the grass, and he gingerly climbed from it as re trucks rushed to the scene. The inferno raged on, and NASCAR red-agged the race with 40 laps remaining. The race was delayed 2 hours, 5 minutes and 29 seconds while track workers scrambled to x the track. About the time you think youve seen about everything, you see something like this, NASCAR president Mike Helton said. NASCAR ofcials examined the track surface and determined the race could continue. Blaneys lead was short-lived, however, as he had to pit for gas.
Plans for S.F. Americas Cup in 2013 scaled back

SAN FRANCISCO Organizers of sailings most prestigious event said Monday they are dramatically scaling back plans to renovate San Franciscos dilapidated waterfront. Mayor Ed Lee made the announcement during a news conference at San Franciscos Pier 80, where software mogul Larry Ellison is building his space-age catamaran to defend the Americas Cup trophy he won in 2010 off the coast of Spain. Ellison picked the San Francisco Bay as the location of the 34th race for the Americas Cup, scheduled for September 2013. After weeks of increasing tensions between the Board of Supervisors and Ellisons representatives over planning for the event, an agreement was reached over the weekend to scrap plans to turn the little-used piers 30 and 32 near San Franciscos downtown into the Americas Cup publicly accessible pit row
that would house racing teams challenging for the trophy. The plan was for Ellisons race team to spend $55 million on the piers in exchange for rent-free use of them for 66 years and title to a city-owned lot nearby. Instead, all competitors will be housed at Pier 80, which Ellison has already spent a couple million dollars renovating. But the location is about two miles from the proposed racing village that is expected to serve as the events hub. Pier 80 will still be open to the public, but organizers concede that it may require a bus ride instead of a walk from the racing village to visit. Nonetheless, Lee and organizers insisted Monday that none of the 50 or so race days leading up to the nal weekend of racing in September 2013 or the planned course around Alcatraz island in front of the citys skyline will change.

year. We were counting on him to provide some much-needed power
from the right side of the plate. Now his total focus has to be on a successful surgery and rehabilitation so he can return stronger than ever. Because of swelling, Sizemore will be re-evaluated in two weeks to see when a date for surgery can be set. The injury came almost a month
before the As open the major league season. They play Seattle on March 28 in Tokyo to start a two-game series. Sizemore, who broke his left ankle in 2009 during Arizona Fall League play, was expected to be in the opening day lineup. In his absence, we feel we have
some viable options in Adam Rosales, Eric Sogard and Josh Donaldson. They can all bring something to the position, Melvin said. Donaldson briey played for the As in 2010. Originally a rst-round draft pick of the Chicago Cubs, Donaldson was traded to the As in a
deal for pitcher Rich Harden. Donaldson played third base during his junior year at Auburn and was used at third 53 times in the Athletics organization. Melvin indicated that Rosales, Sogard and the Timmons would be more valuable as utility players. The As have 10 inelders in camp.

New arena deal could save Sacramento Kings

Building a new arena for the Sacramento Kings has never been closer to reality. The city, the Sacramento Kings and the NBA announced a tentative deal Monday to nance a new arena that would keep the team in Californias capital for the long haul. The City Council will vote on the plan March 6. Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson, NBA Commissioner David Stern and the Maloof family, which owns the Kings, emerged from three days of talks in Orlando,
Fla., where they had been negotiating during All-Star weekend to announce that the framework of a deal had been reached, giving fans some 3,000 miles away in the Central Valley reason to cheer for a comeback story that ttingly came straight out of Fantasyland. I think when we left Sacramento and came to Orlando, you guys asked me how close were we. I thought it was a free throw and you need to make two free throws, Johnson told reporters at a news conference at the Waldorf Astoria at Walt Disney World. I think the city
made the rst free throw, and the Maloof family made the second free throw. Its game over. Well, almost. Under the proposed terms of the deal, the city will contribute $200$250 million to the estimated $387 million arena, mostly by leasing out parking garages around the facility, a person with knowledge of the negotiations said. The person, speaking on condition of anonymity because the full nancing plan will not be made public until at least Thursday, said Sacramento also will
create revenue through a ticket surcharge. The Maloofs have agreed to contribute $75 million in upfront cash, which includes the sale of land around the teams current suburban arena, along with paying off a current $67 million loan to the city and contributing more over the course of the deal. Arena operator AEG also agreed to pay almost $60 million. I think its great for our community, a tearful Gavin Maloof said. Im glad its nally coming to an end after 13 years. Its been a long road.
The Kings almost moved to Anaheim, Calif., a year ago before Johnson and city leaders convinced the league to give Sacramento one last chance to help nance an arena. At one point, Johnson a former NBA All-Star with the Phoenix Suns even called the process a slow death and likened the citys efforts to a Hail Mary. Johnson made a desperate pitch to the NBA Board of Governors last April to give the city a nal chance to come up with an arena plan. He also bought time by presenting more than $10 million in commit-

Autism not diagnosed as early in minority children

By Lauran Neergaard
WASHINGTON Early diagnosis is considered key for autism, but minority children tend to be diagnosed later than white children. Some new work is beginning to try to uncover why and to raise awareness of the warning signs so more parents know they can seek help even for a toddler. The biggest thing I want parents to know is we can do something about it to help your child, says Dr. Rebecca Landa, autism director at Baltimores Kennedy Krieger Institute, who is exploring the barriers that different populations face in getting that help. Her preliminary research suggests even when diagnosed in toddlerhood, minority youngsters have more severe developmental delays than their white counterparts. She says cultural differences in how parents view developmental milestones, and how they interact with doctors, may play a role. Consider: Tots tend to point before they talk, but pointing is rude in some cultures and may not be missed by a new parent, Landa says. Or maybe moms worried that her son isnt talking yet but the family matriarch, her grandmother, says dont worry Cousin Harry spoke late, too, and hes ne. Or maybe the pediatrician dismissed the parents concern, and they were taught not to question doctors. Its possible to detect autism as early as 14 months of age, and the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that youngsters be screened for it starting at 18 months. While theres no cure, behavioral and other therapies are thought to work best when started very young. Yet on average, U.S. children arent diagnosed until theyre about 4 1/2 years old, according to government statistics. And troubling studies show that white kids may be diagnosed with autism as much as a year and a half earlier than black and other minority children, says University of Pennsylvania autism expert David Mandell, who led much of that work. Socioeconomics
Her pediatrician listened and knew to send the family to a government early intervention program that, like in most states, provides free testing and treatment for young childrens developmental delays. Matthew was enrolled in developmental therapy by age 18 months, and was formally diagnosed with autism when he turned 2 and Lemon enrolled him in Kennedy Kriegers toddler program as well. In many of his therapy classes, Lemon says, Matthew was the only African-American. Now 7, Matthew still doesnt speak but Lemon says he is making huge strides, learning letters by tracing them in shaving cream to tap his sensory side, for example, and using a computer-like tablet that speaks when he pushes the right buttons. But Lemon quit working fulltime so she could shuttle Matthew from therapy to therapy every day. I want other minority families to get involved early, be relentless, says Lemon, who now works part-time counseling families about how to nd services early. For a campaign called Why wait and see? Landa is developing videos that show typical and atypical behaviors and plans to ask Its possible to detect autism as early as 14 months of age, and the American Academy of Maryland pediatricians to show them to parents.

to the Fox Theatre in Redwood City which Gardia said provides a wonderful home but came with unforeseen expenses because the venue provides little more than four walls and a roof. The shift from the performing arts center in San Mateo lost some subscribers but also drew new ones further down the Peninsula. The cold reality of how expensive shows can be is another factor. The cost of each show varies but overall ticket sales only cover 50 percent to 60 percent of operating costs, Gardia said. The remainder comes from donations and Broadway By the Bay has never received any grants or governmental support although it was very warmly embraced by the city of Redwood City, Gardia said. If Broadway By the Bay needs proof a local theater company can hit a nancial bump in the road and keep on going, it need look no further than the Hillbarn Theatre in Foster Valley public schools receiving free or reduced-price lunches has increased steadily over the past several years, an indication of hard times for more families. Data on these economic trends are collected every year in the Silicon Valley Index, compiled by local nonprot analysts. This years report highlighted the recovery of the regions high-tech economy as wildly successful companies like Facebook go on hiring sprees. But that recovery has not had the same ripple effect on the region as a whole compared to previous tech booms, said Russell Hancock, head of Joint Venture, one of the groups behind the index. In the past, companies like Hewlett-Packard Co. and Lockheed Martin Corp. brought mid-level jobs to Silicon Valley along with the expected science, engineering City. In May 2009, the 68-year-old community theater made a public plea to raise $150,000 by the end of the month to keep the curtain from coming down on future seasons. Between fundraisers and donations, the theater pulled it together and Executive Director Lee Foster said it is looking good. Donations are slightly down but attendance is up and, by running lean and mean, Foster said the theater is out of the woods. Unlike Broadway By the Bay, the Hillbarn Theater owns its own building which Foster said is fortunate but also keeps it on the hook for upkeep. In fact, making the building more attractive is at the top of Fosters wish list. Like Gardia, Foster sees how the down economy has affected the arts overall and the Peninsula theaters in particular. While nancial worries may crimp donations a bit, she said they also tend to keep people local where theater tickets are less expensive and parking is often free. and management positions, Hancock said. But globalization has sent the manufacturing jobs overseas. Meanwhile, information technology has made once-plentiful clerical and ofce positions obsolete. The technologies that we invented here have actually eliminated entire classes of jobs, Hancock said. Without those jobs, the prospects for workers without high-end tech skills have become even more challenging: If you took away tech, our region would look like any other region, maybe even worse, he said. The contrast between the haves at Facebook and the have-nots in East Palo Alto nearby has stirred some tension. City Councilman Carlos Romero is pushing for the company to do more to address trafc and the resulting air quality issues created by the inux of new workers. He also worries that especially after Facebooks IPO, newly ush employees will start buying up the citys rel-

Another factor keeping the doors open, she said, is the season. When we do really quality work, we dont nd the uctuation is as great. Quality draws interest regardless, she said. This year, the Hillbarn teamed up with the Peninsula Jewish Community Center for an interactive murder mystery show and a behind-the-scenes look at the Diablo Ballet which is also performing. The collaborations are yet another way to keep current fans coming and draw in new audience members, Foster said. Over at Broadway By the Bay, Gardia emphasizes that the 2012 season is fantastic regardless of any nancial worries and that he has little doubt of reaching the half-million dollar goal. As they say in theater, the show must go on. To donate call 579-5565 www.broadwaybythebay.org or visit

eventually renamed Broadway By the Bay in 1999, and serving nearly 4,000 season subscribers and more than 5,000 single-show ticket sales for each production. Gardia chalks up the current nancial straits primarily to the economy which has hit the arts community nationwide particularly hard as people make choices of where to put their money. On the ip side, though, the economic atmosphere also makes people likely to nd their artistic x locally rather than head to San Francisco for a most costly outing based on ticket prices and parking.

This is not about making sure that Facebook doesnt come into the community, Romero said. This is about making sure East Palo Alto is not left out. Nearly half of Facebooks employees take some form of alternative transportation, and the company is placing a hard cap on the number of vehicles allowed on and off campus to keep traffic down, said Facebook spokesman Tucker Bounds. Facebook has also been working with local developers on efforts to build housing for employees on vacant land near the campus to lessen the impact on the existing housing market, Bounds said. Facebook has initiated some outreach into the surrounding community, including support for the program where Macias is learning to be a carpenter, known as JobTrain.

Bird flu,pig flu,now bat flu? Human risk unclear

By Mike Stobbe
ATLANTA For the rst time, scientists have found evidence of u in bats, reporting a never-before-seen virus whose risk to humans is unclear. The surprising discovery of genetic fragments of a u virus is the rst well-documented report of it in the winged mammals. So far, scientists havent been able to grow it, and its not clear if or how well it spreads. Flu bugs are common in humans, birds and pigs and have even been seen in dogs, horses, seals and whales, among others. About ve years ago, Russian virologists claimed nding u in bats, but they never offered evidence. Most people are fairly convinced we had already discovered u in all the possible animals, said Ruben Donis, a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention scientist who coauthored the new study. Scientists suspect that some bats caught u centuries ago and that the virus mutated within the bat population into this new variety. Scientists havent even been able to grow the new virus in chicken eggs or in human cell culture, as they do with more conventional u strains. But it still could pose a threat to humans. For example, if it mingled with more common forms of inuenza, it could swap genes and
Work is going on to try to infect healthy bats,but there are other viruses that were discovered by genetic sequencing but are hard to grow in a lab,including hepatitis C.
mutate into something more dangerous, a scenario at the heart of the global u epidemic movie Contagion. The research was posted online Monday in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The CDC has an international outpost in Guatemala, and thats where researchers collected more than 300 bats in 2009 and 2010. The research was mainly focused on rabies,
but the scientists also checked specimens for other germs and stumbled upon the new virus. It was in the intestines of little yellow-shouldered bats, said Donis, a veterinarian by training. These bats eat fruit and insects but dont bite people. Yet its possible they could leave the virus on produce and a human could get infected by taking a bite. Its conceivable some people were infected with the virus in the past. Now that scientists know what it looks like, they are looking for it in other bats as well as humans and other animals, said Donis, who heads the Molecular Virology and Vaccines Branch in the CDCs u division. At least one expert said CDC researchers need to do more to establish theyve actually found a u virus. Technically, what the CDC ofcials found was genetic material of a u virus. They used a lab technique to nd genes for the virus and amplify it. All they found was a segment of genetic material, said Richard Mick Fulton, a bird disease researcher at Michigan State University. What they should do is draw blood from more bats, try to infect other bats and take other steps to establish that the virus is spreading among the animals, he continued. In my mind, if you cant grow the virus, how do you know that the virus is there?

Planners approve Lucas project

SAN RAFAEL Officials on Monday approved a controversial plan by lmmaker George Lucas to expand his digital empire on historic farmland north of San Francisco. After a daylong hearing, the Marin County planning commission unanimously voted in favor of the proposal to build a 270,000-square-foot digital media production compound in a quiet valley that has been home to Lucas Skywalker Ranch for three decades. Opponents of the Grady Ranch project have two weeks to appeal the commissions decision to the county Board of Supervisors. The complex would be next to Lucas
other filmmaking operations Skywalker Ranch and Big Rock in Lucas Valley, named for a 19th century rancher and no relation to the 67-yearold maker of the Star George Lucas Wars movies. But neighbors say the giant complex will generate noise, trafc and environmental damage on pristine land about a half-hour drive north of the Golden Gate Bridge. They also argue that the project violates local zoning codes and application procedures. Representatives of Lucaslms Ltd. say access is something hes generally against as well. He pointed out that the survey didnt give a reason behind the possible closure. Since then, Azar and neighbors supporting the closure knocked on doors to explain their request. He expects many people who supported keeping Memory Lane open will attend tonight to express a change in opinion given the neighbors problems. In 1939, the developer who subsidized the lots that abut Memory Lane offered it to the city for pedestrian access, as well as easements for public utilities, according to a staff report. San Bruno accepted in 1940. In 1950, the city abandoned the third part of Memory Lane, which now crosses Grace Honda to El Camino Real. Previous owners of the Grace Honda site agreed to continue allowing pedestrian access through that portion of Memory Lane. About nine years ago, San Bruno approved a change to the Grace Honda conditional use permit that maintained the pedestrian access. From 2006 through 2011, 44 calls were directly related to activities on Memory Lane. Twenty-nine of those ed to lessen the need to take tough steps now to balance the budget, Palmer said. The analyst recommended that lawmakers wait until more information becomes available by the end of April, when the state receives a large amount of income tax payments. Californias general fund relies heavily on income taxes and capital gains taxes, which are sure to see a bump with the wealth to be made off Facebook stock sales. The analyst found that wealth generated by a Facebook stock offering could increase state revenue by $500 million in the current fiscal year and $1.5 billion in the 2012-13 year. The wealthy are essential to funding California state government: The top 1 percent of income earners pay about 40 percent of all income tax, the dominant source for the states general fund. The analyst said capital gains income San Mateo-Foster City voters have been historically supportive of ballot measures. Voters approved Measure L, a $175 million bond measure in 2008, but it fell short of the $330 million outlined in needs in the 2007-08 facilities master plan. In addition, growing enrollment in Foster City means the district is looking at construction of another elementary school. Measure L has money to purchase the land but not to cover the remaining costs. If put on the June ballot, it would be the second local school measure. Last week, the Redwood City Elementary School District Board of Trustees voted to place a parcel tax before voters in the same election. Redwood City voters will decide on a $67 annual parcel tax on the June ballot, a measure that could generate $1.7 million to support educational programs. At the same meeting, the board will

Other than closing the pedestrian and bike access, staff put forward alternatives of improving Memory Lane with surveillance cameras, signs, fencing, repavement and vegetation, as well as enhanced monitoring by police, crossing guards or a community-based group; or closing Memory Lane from dusk until dawn. The closure could also be done for a trial period. At the same meeting, the council will consider approving notication of property owners of the 2012-13 garbage rate increase proposed by Recology San Bruno.

The access way is heavily used by Parkside Intermediate School students before and after school. Principal Angela Addiego supports the closure. The lane has been an issue for years and the city of San Bruno has not dealt with the matter. I have had to stand guard over the alley to be proactive in stopping incidents such as ghts and vandalism, she said. On the other hand, the city mailed surveys to 390 households about the possible closure. Of the 134 to respond, 68 percent to 70 percent did not favor the closure and 9 percent to 11 percent probably did not favor the closure, according to a staff report by City Attorney Marc Zafferano and Community Development Director Aaron Aknin.

BROWN
If our revenue forecast proves to be more accurate than the administrations, the Legislature and the governor will have to identify additional budgetary solutions to bring the 2012-13 state spending plan into balance, the report stated. Browns finance spokesman, H.D. Palmer said the forecast helps the governor make the case for his November ballot initiative, which would raise taxes temporarily. Brown aims to raise income taxes on individuals who make $250,000 a year or more and boost the state sales tax by half a cent. It also highlights the fact that the pending IPO by Facebook, while potentially significant, cant be expect-
is difficult to forecast and the Brown administration could be overestimating the amount of personal income tax growth over the next few years. Overall, the analyst projected the state will generate $91.8 billion in revenues for the 2012-13 year, compared to $95.4 billion assumed by the governor. The report stated that while job growth appears to be helping business and consumer confidence, Californias unemployment level of 11.1 percent remains stubbornly high and worse than all other states except Nevada. Home prices continue to keep construction at weak levels. The analysts office said Californias median home value was $560,000 in 2007 and has fallen to $285,000. The analyst also noted that a tax break given to large, multistate corporations a few years ago as a concession to Republicans has reduced state revenue by $1 billion. vote on sending notications to people lling 20.03 full-time equivalent positions that they may be laid off later this year. California requires districts to send out preliminary notices to teachers by March 15, many of which will go before school boards starting this week. Often the number is rened before nal layoff notices are sent out by May 15. Teachers who are laid off could be asked back over the summer, when the states budget becomes clear. Layoff numbers could be high this year as Gov. Jerry Browns current state budget proposal funds education at the same rate if tax measures are passed in November. Without it, districts will face mid-year cuts, which they need to budget for now. The board meets 7 p.m. Thursday, March 1 at the District ofce, 1170 Chess Drive, Foster City.

requires 55 percent support to pass. If passed, the measure could fund new classrooms, upgrading infrastructure and building a fourth elementary school in Foster City. Bryan Godbe of Godbe Research, which conducted the survey, suggested the district consider taxing at a rate no higher than $19 per each $100,000 value of a property. How much would be raised by such a bond is not yet known. A $19 per $100,000 measure generated 60 percent support, 5 percent more than a bond measure requires to pass. Without any additional information, support for a bond measure was high, 61.3 percent, said Godbe.

TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 2012 PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Be extremely careful not to let pessimistic thinking dominate your optimistic viewpoint. If you do, youll allow defeat to carry the day, when you could instead easily triumph. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Companions might have a difficult time getting a handle on your mood. In some instances youll be extremely kind, while in other cases the Scrooge in you might come to the fore. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Be careful what you say and to whom. Someone might quote your comments out of context and end up hurting both of you. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- If youre not careful,
there is a good chance that youll be intimidated by your own imagination. Of course, this can be avoided if you dont misuse your fertile mind. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Sensing a friends fragile mood, the timing might not be exactly right to remind him or her about an overdue financial obligation. Youve waited this long, tarry a bit longer if you can. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- When seeking advice concerning a troublesome situation, dont settle for just one persons opinion. Numerous points of view might provide you with a great, collective answer. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- The ideas or suggestions of someone in the family might be superior to your
thoughts on handling a delicate situation. Dont allow your ego to block your eardrums. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- If youre smart, you wont waste a lot of time looking for easy outs. The road youre on might be difficult, but you can overcome any obstacles and will even take pride in doing so. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- An arrangement that youre involved in might be of dubious value, so dont rely upon another person too heavily. Even if the road is bumpy, you will be better off overcoming all the obstacles yourself. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- When it comes to serving your own self-interest, youre likely to be extremely productive, but if you are required to help
out another, your faculties could suddenly shut down. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Think twice before investing in a situation about which you know little to nothing. You could end up buying into a pie-inthe-sky scheme, all because you were enticed by a delicious description. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- If there isnt something in it for you, youre apt to be reluctant to extend yourself in any way. However, if there are personal gains to be made, itll be another story.

Inman, aka Mary Inman. A Petition for Probate has been filed by Laurie A. Gardiner in the Superior Court of California, County of San Mateo. The Petition of Probate requests that Laurie A. Gardiner be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent. The petition requests the decedents will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court. The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection of the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority. A hearing on the petition will be held in this court as follows: March 19, 2012 at 9:00 a.m., Dept: 28, Superior Court of California, County of San Mateo, 400 County Center, Redwood City, CA 94063. If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney. If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within four months from the date of first issuance of letters as provided in Probate Code section 9100. The time for filing claims will not expire before four months from the hearing date noticed above. You may examine the file kept by the court.
