Carlmont High is the lone comprehensive school in the Sequoia district without lights to host evening sporting events something that could soon change. On Wednesday, the Sequoia Union High School District Board of Trustees will begin to discuss the process for installing lights on the Belmont campus field. Part of the board-adopted facilities plan
funds were set aside for the installation. Sequoia has started the initial environmental review study process. In addition, the school has hosted a handful of night games using temporary lights to allow the district to gather information on traffic, attendance, light and noise. One issue already identified is a need for additional parking should the school start hosting night games, according to a staff report. Lights wont be up quickly. The
district is proposing to hold a community meeting at Carlmont Feb. 2 to discuss the plans. Initial study of the proposal should be released in mid-February with the board considering a negative declaration in late March. According to this timeline, the district could go out to bid May 1. District officials are proposing similar rules to what has been set up at Menlo-Atherton. Practices, for example, would end at 8:30
p.m. with scheduled football games ending at 10:30 p.m. Lights would not be used on the weekends and an amplification system, which will be installed close to the seating areas, will only be used during games and special events but would not be available to outside groups. Menlo-Atherton was the most recent school in the district to have lights installed. The process was a long one which started in 2010 but
was delayed due to a lawsuits from neighbors who felt possible problems were not being addressed. Rules were set up after working with the neighbors. Those same regulations seem to be guiding the possible rules for using the lights at Carlmont. The board meets 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 18 at the District Office, 480 James Ave., Redwood City.

As Caltrans looks to widen State Route 92 from Interstate 280 to Highway 101, it is also looking at ways to improve trafc conditions at the interchange that feeds the route at El Camino Real in San Mateo. Caltrans has been studying how to widen State Route 92 since 2001 and has indicated the cloverleaf congurations at El Camino that feed the highway can lead to poor trafc conditions on the route, especially where it meets Highway 101. Five options are being considered to improve the interchange, including converting the existing cloverleaf conguration to a partial cloverleaf conguration. The option would require the elimination of two loop ramps and the construction of diagonal off-ramps, according to a staff report.
More than 40 years after Martin Luther King Jr.s death, his dream of equality remains strong for those gathered at the San Mateo train station Monday to celebrate those leading the effort. Although the Freedom Train started in the South Bay, Peninsula residents gathered in San Mateo yesterday to celebrate
the civil rights leader at the 13th annual Martin Luther King Jr. Day celebration before boarding on the 27th annual Freedom Train. Song was just part of the celebration that featured many people working locally to carry on the dreams widely shared by King. The dream continues and the work must continue, said Faye McNairKnox, executive director of One East Palo Alto, which was recognized Monday.
OEPA Neighborhood Improvement Initiative began in 2000 and today partners with more than 50 organizations to support youth and young adults through sponsored employment and crime-prevention programs. In addition, the group runs a wellness center helping with mental health issues and community substance abuse prevention campaigns. Quoting King, McNair-Knox said
The San Francisco 49ers dramatic win on Saturday, paired with an upset win by the New York Giants on Sunday, means there will be another playoff game at Candlestick Park this weekend, and tickets go on sale Wednesday morning. The 49ers, who are one win away from their sixth Super Bowl appearance, will play in the teams first NFC Championship game since 1998 at 3 p.m. Sunday. Tickets go on sale to season ticket holders at 10 a.m.

The city of San Carlos has unveiled its ofcial new coin, a token ofcials say will be awarded to well-deserving residents and visitors and a nal brainchild of former mayor Omar Ahmad. The two-sided coin is a little larger than a silver dollar and depicts on one face a twotone modied version of the original seal with the 1925 incorporation date. The ip side has the citys tagline City of Good Living bordered with a laurel leaf design. The coin will serve as a thank you, congratulations, honor or mark of important circumstances. The City Council approved the city coin 32 in April 2011, with councilmen Bob Grassilli and Matt Grocott dissenting. Both
Ahmad and then-councilman Randy Royce committed their $300 stipends toward the $2,500 cost of producing 300 coins. Ahmad, who died of a heart attack in May 2011, got the idea for a commemorative coin in part from a NATO commander who carried special coins in his pocket. Ahmad said they were a good way to say thank you and serve as a constant reminder of gratitude. Mayor Andy Klein recently made the rst
coin presentation to Royces wife, Yvette, for her contributions to the community. The city looked at several designs and originally considered two coins, one silver and one gold. Ultimately, ofcials settled on the single silver coin with blue detailing. At the time he proposed the coins, Ahmad suggested they replace the councils current practice of offering proclamations which he called cumbersome. The city also previously recognized citizens and visitors with other honorary items like a key some of which doubled as bottle openers and ashtrays.

The owner of a San Carlos bar is asking the Planning Commission to hold off reviewing his expansion plans until later this month because he wants all members to weigh in on whether the proposal for extra space and food service merits approval. Fred Duncan, owner of the Carlos Club on El Camino Real, will ask the Planning Commission tonight to table its scheduled hearing until Jan. 25 when all members are expected to attend. What might otherwise be a routine permit request by Duncan has received greater scrutiny because Greg Rothaus, captain of the San Carlos Patrol Bureau of the county Sheriffs Ofce, opposes the plan, citing what he said is a greater number of alcohol-related incidents than at other drinking establishments. Duncan has previously told the Daily Journal other
bars and restaurants have just as many or more police visits but that the later hours of his bar at 621 El Camino Real make it a riper opportunity for contact. Duncan wants to convert an adjacent parking lot into an outdoor patio with a gourmet food trailer and deck that can double as a stage. Duncan received a parking exemption earlier last year but must still receive a conditional use permit. Rothaus worries giving the club more room could also give it more chances for problems. From October 2010 to October 2011, San Carlos police logged 131 alcohol-related incidents at the Carlos Club alone including public intoxication, driving while under the inuence, public disturbances, assault, battery, domestic violence, excessive noise and random spot checks by ofcers, according to Rothaus. Duncan has questioned the accuracy of the
numbers and said police are often lingering outside his bar rather than responding to specic calls. Duncans permit request was originally scheduled to come before the commission late last year but was already continued once to January because his attorney was unable to attend and he wanted more time to address Rothaus public objections. The San Carlos Planning Commission meets 7 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 17 at City Hall, 600 Elm St., San Carlos.

Trailer park fire displaces 15, sends girl to hospital
A re Monday morning at a Redwood City trailer park displaced 15 people and sent a 12year-old girl to the hospital to be examined for smoke inhalation, a city spokesman said. The two-alarm blaze was reported at 10:53 a.m. at the LeMar Trailer Park at 1933 E. Bayshore Road. Redwood City spokesman Malcolm Smith said reghters controlled the re in less than an hour.

He said seven people were displaced from one trailer, and four people were displaced from each of the other two trailers that burned. The American Red Cross is assisting the displaced residents. Damage was estimated at $135,000 and the cause remains under investigation, although Smith said the re appears to have been accidental. He said about 40 reghters responded to the blaze.

San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee said Monday there are no imminent plans to suspend Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi, who will be arraigned Thursday on three misdemeanor charges in connection with an alleged domestic violence incident on New Years Eve. Mirkarimi was charged Friday with one count each of domestic violence battery, child endangerment and dissuading a witness. His attorney Bob Waggener said yesterday that Mirkarimi is scheduled to be in court on Thursday morning for arraignment on the charges. The charges stem from an incident reported by a neighbor who claimed that Mirkarimis wife, Eliana Lopez, showed her a bruise on her arm where Mirkarimi had allegedly grabbed her, according to a search warrant affidavit. During a search, police seized a video camera and iPhone used to exchange text messages about the injury. Mirkarimi, who was booked into jail later Friday and released on $35,000 bail, said that he plans to fight the charges and will not resign as sheriff. But under the City Charter, Lee has the option of suspending Mirkarimi, who would then be entitled to an Ethics Commission hearing on the cause of the suspension. The Ethics Commission would then forward its findings and a recommendation to the Board of Supervisors, who would need nine votes from the 11-member board to remove Mirkarimi from office. Lee said following the filing of the charges Friday that they were extremely serious and
troubling and that he would review the facts and options available to me under the City Charter. But on Monday, Lee, speaking to reporters following a Martin Luther King Jr. Day event in the citys Yerba Buena Ed Lee Gardens, said he is not yet ready to make a decision to suspend him. We need to allow the case to go forward without interference, and Sheriff Mirkarimi has his opportunity to answer those charges, Lee said. Board of Supervisors Ross Mirkarimi President David Chiu, one of several supervisors who also attended the MLK Day event with the mayor, declined comment on the case. Mirkarimi served as a supervisor for the past seven years before being elected as sheriff in November and being sworn in on Jan. 8. He made a public appearance Monday at a separate MLK Day event in the city but also declined to speak about the case. District Attorney George Gascon had said when announcing the charges on Friday that Mirkarimi would be arraigned on Tuesday. But Waggener said Monday that when Mirkarimi posted bail, the document he was given said to appear in court on Thursday morning. So thats when well show up, he said. If convicted of all charges, Mirkarimi could face a year in prison and three years probation.

With the recent court decision to allow for the dissolution of redevelopment agencies in the state, the city of San Mateo is looking to fund its First Time Homebuyer Program, established in 1988, through other funding sources. The majority of the down payment assistance loans provided as part of the program were previously funded with RDA Housing Set-Aside funds. The City Council will consider a substantial amendment to its 2010-15 Consolidated Plan and 2011-12 Action Plan at a meeting tonight to add HOME Program Homebuyer Assistance funds to the First Time Homebuyer Program. In the past, the HOME Program was primarily used to provide for site acquisition, new construction and rehabilitation of residential units. Over the last few months, a number of units originally assisted with RDA-funded loans have come up for resale, according to a staff report. The freeze on RDA activities has not allowed the agency to execute any new loans with potential new buyers, according to the staff report. The Consolidated Plan will be amended, with council approval, to provide HOME Program regulatory information and program policies in accordance with the homebuyer assistance programs. The amendment to the Action Plan commits up to $200,000 of HOME funds for the First Time Homebuyer program that may serve
up to four households this year. With the California Supreme Courts decision to uphold Gov. Jerry Browns action to eliminate the RDAs, the city is looking to expand its authorization for programs that may use HOME Program funds to protect the citys interest in furthering homeownership opportunities for eligible rst-time homebuyers. In the 2011-12 Action Plan, the city budgeted $372,300 in HOME funds for housing projects but had yet to identify a project, according to the staff report. Amending the plan will commit $200,000 of that for the First Time Homebuyer Program, according to the staff report. HOME funds may assist households whose incomes do not exceed 80 percent of area median income. To utilize HOME funds for rsttime homebuyers, the maximum sales price of a dwelling unit cannot exceed 95 percent of the area median home price, according to the staff report. The citys primary goal of its home buyer programs is to ensure long-term affordability of housing units, while still allowing owners the opportunity for some accumulation of equity. Its secondary goal is to promote ownership as a means to promote neighborhood stability, according to the staff report. The council will consider the HOME funds item, 7 p.m., tonight, City Hall, 330 W. 20th Ave., San Mateo.

A judge presiding over the murder trial of a Hillsborough man accused of shooting his friend several times stepped away from the case because he previously served as an attorney for one of the anticipated witnesses in an unrelated case. The recusal by Judge Cliff Cretan two days into jury selection means a new judge will be named this morning to oversee the trial of Bradley Allen Kleiman. Kleimans attorneys and the prosecution both agreed to waive any conflict of interest after Cretan shared his previous relationship with the witness but the judge opted to remove himself anyway. Kleiman, 31, is charged with murder and the use of a weapon in the June 15, 2010 shooting of Christopher Calvache, 30. Calvache was shot twice in the head and once in the buttocks inside a pool house detached
from a five-bedroom main house on De Sabla Road where Kleimans parents live. Calvache and Kleiman were the only ones on the property at the time. Kleiman, who called 911, said he shot Calvache during a struggle after his friend pulled a gun on him and his attorney has called the incident a strong case of self-defense. Prosecutors also say the friends had planned to go to dinner together before the altercation. When police arrived, they reportedly found Kleiman carrying marijuana plants in the backyard and a weapon and casings inside the pool house. The weapon belonged to Calvache. Kleiman remains in custody without bail. Jurors who had been cleared for hardship prior to Cretans recusing himself had been ordered back to court Jan. 23 to continue general questioning about their ability to serve.
ROME Italys cruise liner tragedy turned into an environmental crisis Monday, as rough seas battering the stricken mega-ship raised fears that fuel might leak into pristine waters off Tuscany that are part of a protected sanctuary for dolphins, porpoises and whales. The ships Italian operator accused the jailed captain of causing the wreck that left at least six dead and 29 missing, saying he made an unapproved, unauthorized maneuver to divert the vessel from its programmed course. Earlier, authorities had said 16 people were missing. But an Italian Coast Guard ofcial, Marco Brusco, said late Monday that 25 passengers and four crew members were unaccounted for three days after the Costa
Concordia struck a reef and capsized off the coast of the tiny island of Giglio. He didnt explain the jump, but indicated 10 of the missing are Germans. Two Americans are also among the missing. Brusco said there was still a glimmer of hope there could be survivors on parts of the vast cruise liner that have yet to be searched. The last survivor, a crewman who had broken his leg, was rescued on Sunday. Waters that had remained calm for the rst days of the rescue turned choppy Monday, shifting the wreckage and raising fears that any further movement could cause some of the 500,000 gallons (1.9 million liters) of fuel on board to leak into the waters off Giglio, which are popular with scuba divers and form part of the protected Tuscan archipelago. Rescue operations were suspended for several hours because of the rough seas.

Republican presidential candidate and former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney speaks during a Republican presidential candidates debate in Myrtle Beach,S.C.
MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. Under heavy debate pressure from his rivals, Republican presidential frontrunner Mitt Romney defended his record as a venture capitalist, insisted he bears no responsibility for attack ads aired by his allies and grudgingly said Monday night he might release his income tax returns this spring. I have nothing in them that suggests theres any problem and Im happy to do so, he said. I sort of feel like were showing a lot of exposure at this point, he added in an apparent reference to the campaign to come against Democratic President Barack Obama. Romney came under criticism from the opening moments of the debate, the rst of two in the run-up to this weekends rst-in-the-South primary in South Carolina. The former Massachusetts governor won the rst two events of the campaign, the Iowa caucuses and last weeks New Hampshire primary, and leads in the pre-primary polls in South Carolina. One of his rivals, Newt Gingrich, has virtually conceded that a victory for Romney in South Carolina would assure his nomination as Obamas Republican rival in the fall, and none
of the other remaining contenders has challenged that conclusion. That only elevated the stakes for Monday nights debate, feisty from the outset as Gingrich, Texas Gov. Rick Perry and former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum sought to knock Romney off stride while generally being careful to wrap their criticism in anti-Obama rhetoric. We need to satisfy the country that whoever we nominate has a record that can stand up to Barack Obama in a very effective way, said Gingrich. The ve men on stage also sought to outdo one another in calling for lower taxes. Paul won that competition handily, saying he thought the top rate should be zero. And in a state with a heavy military presence, the tone seemed more aggressive than in earlier debates. Gingrich drew strong applause when he said: Andrew Jackson had a pretty clear idea about Americas enemies. Kill them. The debate began hours after Romney reaped an endorsement from former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman, who suspended his own candidacy and urged the remaining contenders to stop attacking one another for fear it might benet Obama in November.
Obamas mark Martin Luther King S.C. rally marks MLK day Jr.s birthday with volunteer outing with voting rights message
By Julie Pace
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON President Barack Obama evoked Martin Luther King Jr.s own words about public service Monday as Obama and his family celebrated the life of the late civil rights leader with a volunteer project. The president, along with wife Michelle Obama and daughter Malia, joined other volunteers at Browne Education Center in Washington. During brief remarks, the president said there was no better way to honor King than to do something on behalf of others. He also acknowl-
edged the controversy surrounding a quote on the new MLK memorial in Wa s h i n g t o n , which is being changed amid criticism that it Barack Obama did not accurately reflect Kings words. What he really said was all of us can be a drum major for service, all of us can be a drum major for justice, Obama said. There is nobody who cant serve, nobody who cant help somebody else.

COLUMBIA, S.C. Thousands commemorating the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday Monday outside South Carolinas capitol heard a message that wouldnt have been out of place during the halcyon days of the civil rights movement a halfcentury ago: the need to protect all citizens right to vote. A similar tone was struck at Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, where King preached from 1960 until his death. There and in South Carolina, speakers condemned the voter identication laws they said are meant to suppress black voter turnout.
For most of 13 years in South Carolina, the attention at the NAACPs annual rally has been on the Confederate ag that still waves outside the Statehouse. But on Monday, the civil rights group shifted the focus to laws requiring voters to show photo identication before they can cast ballots, which the group and many other critics say is especially discriminatory toward African-Americans and the poor. South Carolinas new law was rejected last month by the U.S. Justice Department, but Gov. Nikki Haley vowed to ght the federal government in court. At least a halfdozen other states passed similar voter ID laws in 2011.

nary Iranians, is growing. Faced with this, the regime is ratcheting up tension militarily so that it can exploit the one clear option that it has left, nationalism. Whatever the populace may think about their government, there can be little doubt that most Iranians would rally around the flag if their country were attacked or seemed to be in imminent danger of attack. Any attempt to close the Straits of Hormuz would be provocative in the extreme. However, it must be asked if this is anything but a bluff. To close the channel would block its own oil exports as well as those of the other countries around the Gulf. Nor should
o one should doubt the potential seriousness of Irans increased military defiance in the face of growing international pressure over its nuclear program. We have seen the testing of two missile systems, the threat to block the passage of shipping through the Strait of Hormuz and the warning from an Iranian general that U.S. aircraft carriers should not re-enter the Gulf. The Iranian government is in financial and political trouble. The economy is collapsing and dissent, both within the leadership and among ordi-
one crucial fact be forgotten: The bulk of oil exports from Gulf ports goes to Asia, with one of the most important customers for most Gulf oil states being China. If Iran genuinely wants stability and security in the region, it should press the reset button, simply by permitting a full inspection of its nuclear program Unfortunately Teheran so far refuses, either because its nuclear plans are indeed anything but civil, or possibly because such a move might appear as weakness, a caving in to the hated United States. Thus, with every further saber rattle from both Washington and Tehran, this most obvious course seems ever more unlikely.
Snow go
acations are always a time of invaluable lessons. For instance, sitting on the beach and staring at the surf makes one wish they paid a little more attention in geography. What exactly is on the other side of that horizon after all? Perhaps you reassess career goals. Somebody has to rake all that sand around the tropical plants at the resorts. And those tiki torches that are magically topped with ames licking the sky every night? Who actually is in charge of that? I could throw away everything involving button-down shirts and closed-toe shoes on the mainland. I could rake sand with the best of them like some sort of Zen garden master! I am awesome with some propane and a lighter! No cares, no worries, no stress, no outside responsibilities. More amazing than those momentary ights of fancy actually sounding like credible, rational options is ipping on the television or opening a newspaper even ever so briey. How is it the world continued forward while you put reality on pause? Jon Huntsman took a bow? An Italian cruise ship capsized? All of Tim Tebows praying couldnt bring a win? Fellow tourists, both foreign and domestic, always prove an eye-opener. Those darn Europeans demanding roadside fruit in clipped accents tinged with impatience Papaya! I said papaya! Cant you be quicker with that coconut? Standing patiently behind the tour group of fruit-seekers wearing little more than oversized damp T-shirts and sagging Speedos, it is easy to feel somewhat superior. On the other hand, the loud legions of the fanny pack and socks-with-sandals set is enough to make any American deny their homeland. No, no, Im actually Canadian. No rude American here, no sirree. A papaya slice, pretty please. The biggest lessons though tend to bookend those days or weeks in paradise during travel, primarily at the airport. There are the reminders that some people are jerks. No other word for it. These are the people who take up the entire width of the people mover regardless of the crowd behind them hustling to the right gate. The folks who pipe up with a rude What do you think youre doing? when passengers politely shift their carry-on bags in the overhead bins to accommodate more luggage. Those who have no concept of taking turns exiting rows while leaving the plane. The people in seating group four who try sneaking in with rst class or rst seating group. Those people. Then again, there are also reminders that many people are still polite and generally nice. They help reach into those overhead bins for other passengers. They ask if you want their extra blanket and offer to share the newspaper. They wear deodorant and chew with their mouths shut. Nothing is as invaluable, though, as those shufes through airport security. What fresh hell will this trip bring A cavity search? Gloved hands poking through every piece of delicate unmentionables? Only one checkpoint line open? Passengers who dont understand the need to remove shoes, jewelry and laptops until the very last minute, thereby holding up the entire process? Or, perhaps, the lesson is snow globes. I understand, although disagree, with the shampoo and toothpaste limits. The early nail clipper restrictions were weird and I cant image how anti-frizz serum could possibly take down a plane. I also dislike having to yank out a clear Ziploc bag full of hygiene products for the world to see. Nobody needs to know if Im a Pantene girl or tote around zit cream for unforeseen emergencies. But snow globes? Now the terrorists really have won. But the signs at the airport made it abundantly clear. The Transportation Security Administration now prohibits snow globes in carry-on luggage because they contain an undetermined amount of liquid. Thats right; al-Qaida is plotting world domination through snow globes. Maybe this restriction isnt new but this trip was the rst Id paid attention. Perhaps before I was too busy thinking about the germs my bare feet were picking up once my shoes went down the conveyor belt. Or maybe the anti-snow globe sentiment just stands out more amid a balmy locale. In any case, enough already. People with snow globes are already suspect. Collectors of such orbs are up there with those who display decorative spoons and thimbles as folks who dont make a lot of sense. Cant they just buy liquor and souvenir T-shirts like the rest of us? On the other hand, attack by snow globe? The world is at more risk from all the cupcakes, adult diapers, homemade pies and, um, junk that have caught attention as of late. Dont you just want to tell the TSA to go pound sand? Or better yet, maybe the answer is running away to a job where one can rake it.

here is, with the help of the media, a plethora of attacks on the rich. As I look back over the last 50 to 60 years, I knew a lot of people who were not rich when they left high school but may be considered so today. What did these people do? First, they worked hard regardless of their occupation. In our time, no work meant no food. This is not so today. These hardworking people saved their money or made prudent investments. and if they could not afford it, they did without. It has been said that if we took all the money in the country and then divide it equally among the populace, those people who had the money at the point of conscation would have it again in 10 years. I cannot throw a ball like Joe Montana
nor can I manipulate the stock market like Warren Buffet. However, the fact remains that some people have the ability to make and to hold on to their money and some people spend it faster than they can make it (like the government!). Some people make wise choices with their money and some dont. That may or may not be fair but it is the fact of life where and when money is concerned. What is not fair is for the media and the politicians to vilify those who work hard and handle their money wisely. In the letter, Who Ronald Reagan really was, in the Jan. 11 edition of the Daily Journal, Patrick Field describes a different Ronald Reagan than I remember. When Reagan took ofce people were making 17 percent to 18 percent on their certicates of deposit and paying more than 20 percent interest on loans. Eight years later, CDs were earning 4 percent interest with a robust economy
Guest perspective
that went on for years after Reagan left ofce. The Reagan economy would have been even better if Congress honored their refusal agreement to eliminate waste and needless programs during the Reagan administration. The refusal to eliminate waste then, as today, has a lot to do with our economic condition and unless Congress does something positive in this area, our economy will suffer for years to come.

BRUSSELS One of the dening images of Europes two-year-old debt crisis is that of the French and German leaders, side by side on a podium presenting their latest strategy for the continent. But the underlying message of this image former foes presenting a united front as the 17 countries that use the euro face their biggest crisis since World War II may now be under threat. Standard & Poors downgrade last Friday of Frances creditworthiness to AA+ leaves Germany as the only large eurozone economy with a AAA-rating, making it the one country that will have to shoulder the currency unions rescue efforts. France was the only top-rated country that at least behind the scenes had lobbied for more expansionary policies in the face of a threatening recession. Its fall from the AAA club leaves it up to Luxembourg, Finland or the Netherlands three other scal hard-liners to challenge Germany. Of those four, Germany is by far the
largest. Its euro211 billion ($267.32 billion) contribution to the eurozone rescue fund is more than three times those of the other three combined, moving it into an odd position of dominance. However, S&Ps knockdown could just as easily force the regions biggest economy into even closer European integration as it could create a new moment for German inuence on the continent. At rst glance, Frances downgrade upgrades the German push for budget cuts and tax increases the very strategy that S&P criticized. We believe that a reform process based on a pillar of scal austerity alone risks becoming self-defeating, S&P analysts wrote in their reasoning for the downgrades of France and eight other eurozone countries. Rising unemployment and uncertainty among consumers, they argued, has hurt both tax revenue and growth. The reaction to the downgrades on Friday was swift and suggested leaders may not even have read the analysts report. Over the weekend, French Premier Francois Fillon, Italian Prime Minister Mario Monti and Spanish
Premier Mariano Rajoy all vowed to cut decits, and adopt more austerity measures should they prove necessary. The downgrade certainly reinforces the relative weakness of France to Germany in the current context, said Simon Tilford, chief economist at the Centre for European Reform in London. However, what it also does, Tilford continued, it isolates Germany. With every drop in the creditworthiness of its large euro partners, Germany nds itself in a lonelier position. And the further the crisis moves from small peripheral states like Greece or Portugal, to core countries like Italy and France, the more vulnerable it becomes. Any increase of the eurozones bailout fund, which is underpinned by the guarantees of the AAA countries, would primarily come out of German pockets. The main risk of a more expansionary European Central Bank, would have to be borne by the Bundesbank. Eurobonds, where debt would be backed by all eurozone countries and is seen by many in Europe as the nal solution to the crisis, would automatically mean higher funding costs for Berlin.
PITTSBURGH The huge, belching smokestacks of electric power plants have long symbolized air pollution woes. But a shift is under way: More and more electric plants around the nation are being fueled by natural gas, which is far cleaner than coal, the traditional fuel. The most optimistic projections describe an abundant domestic energy source that will create enormous numbers of jobs and lead to cleaner skies. Nationwide, the electricity generated by gas-red plants has risen by more
than 50 percent over the last decade, while coal-red generation has declined slightly. The gas plants generated about 600 billion kilowatt hours of electricity in 2000 and 981 billion hours in 2010, according to the U.S. Energy Information Agency. During the same period coal generation declined from 1,966 billion hours to 1,850 billion hours, while hydroelectric and nuclear generation stayed about the same. The gures include electricity use by consumers and industry. Nationwide, EIA said natural gas use for power generation rose 7 percent between 2009 and 2010. Thats about 515 billion cubic feet. The biggest
jumps were in the Southeast, with use rising 24 percent in North Carolina, 18 percent in Virginia and 15 percent in South Carolina. Most of the people I know in the electric power industry are building natural gas plants, said Jay Apt, a professor of technology at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh. Thats because of low prices over the last few years and the relatively low cost of building such plants, compared with coal-fired or nuclear. But Apt cautions that the trend could stall because the basics of supply and demand mean that if too many plants embrace cheap gas, it wont stay cheap.
Wikipedia may black out its website Wednesday to protest anti-piracy legislation under consideration in Congress. Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales announced on Twitter Monday that the popular community-based online encyclopedia will shut down its English versions for 24 hours in protest. Users of the site have discussed for more than a month whether it should react to the legislation and in the past few days, tried to decide how. The foundation behind the site, Wikimedia, says it is still collecting input from users and expects to make its nal decision later Monday evening on the details of the protest based on that feedback. However, a large-scale blackout is expected at this time. We are looking at a powerful protest, said Jay Walsh, spokesman for the foundation.

Steve Jobs action figure pulled from market
SAN JOSE The company that began advertising for an incredibly lifelike Steve Jobs doll wont sell the gurines after all because of pressure from family and Apple lawyers. In Icons had planned to offer the 1-foot-tall, lifelike gure dressed in Jobs trademark black mock turtleneck, rimless glasses and jeans. The company posted a statement on its website Sunday saying it had received immense pressure to drop the plan and made the decision out of its heartfelt sensitivity to the feelings of the Jobs family. The iconic Apple co-founder died Oct. 5 of complications from pancreatic cancer. In icons had intended to start shipping the doll in February. The company says any money received for pre-orders will be returned.

While the majority of the Peninsula was tuned in on Saturday to witness the San Francisco 49ers make a bit of history, our local athletes were doing the same. Down in San Jose, the Padres soccer team picked up their rst win against Bellarmine College Prep in more than 10 years. And they did it in a come-from-behind fashion. After going down a goal in under two minutes, Serra stormed back and scored three unanswered goals for the 3-1 win. In the 20th minute, Robert Peardon fed Cris Perla and the senior beat his man to score the
equalizer from 18 yards out. Serra earned the lead in the initial parts of the second half on a free kick by Darren Finn from about 40 yards out. Shortly after, Peardon found the back of the net to the nal outcome. The win is historic, but its also big in the West Catholic Athletic League scope. With the victory, Serra pulls within two points of league leader Mitty as the WCAL season starts its second half. The Padres and Monarchs battle Wednesday at 3:15 p.m. and its just one of many marquee match-ups this week in the Peninsula. Staying with boys soccer, Sequoia and San
Mateo have started their seasons off strong combined theyre 4-0-3. The two will hit the pitch on Friday to try and gain control of the Peninsula Athletic League Bay Division. Both team have relatively winnable games leading up to their date Sequoia heads to Half Moon Bay and San Mateo travels west to Aragon. In girls soccer, a couple of teams at 4-0 will tango. Aragon is ring on all cylinders, especially defensively. Despite missing Rachel Killigrew, who drew a red card in a game Burlingame, the Dons shut out Menlo-

49ers running back Anthony Dixon waves the 49ers ag after his team defeated the New Orleans Saints in their NFC Divisional playoff game.
SANTA CLARA Any cold-weather garments Vernon Davis owns are getting tossed aside as quickly as he changed San Franciscos playoff fortunes with a game-winning touchdown catch against the favored Saints. I was ready for whatever, Davis said Monday. Now I dont need it. Throw it away. See ya. Instead of gearing up literally speaking for a trip to frigid Green Bay, the 49ers (14-3) get to stay right at home in the muchwarmer and friendlier Bay Area to host the New York Giants in the franchises rst NFC championship game since the 1997 season. The NFC West champion Niners already
beat New York 27-20 at Candlestick Park in November, and both teams have come far since Justin Smith batted down Eli Mannings last-ditch pass to seal it in the waning moments. The Giants stunned the defending Super Bowl champion Packers on Sunday to give San Francisco the home eld. The 49ers are
one victory from their rst Super Bowl since capturing the franchises fth championship after the 1994 season. It was a great feeling. We dont have to go nowhere. We can just go out back, go out back and throw the football around, Davis said. The opponents, they come to us. And thats always good, having home-eld advantage, and having the team come to you. We get another shot, another home game. Amazing feeling. Alex Smith hit Davis for a 47-yard completion on a cross to the left sideline with 31 seconds left Saturday, then again for the gamewinning score from 14 yards on which Davis ran over safety Roman Harper to cross the
n the days leading up to the 49ersSaints divisional playoff game Saturday, the big question was whether 49ers fans wanted Alex Smith back next year as the starting quarterback. Should San Francisco sign Smith to an extension? Despite apparently resurrecting his career this season, leading the 49ers to a 13-3 regular-season record, surprisingly, a lot of fans still didnt want to bring Smith back next season. After Smiths performance Saturday, he could be excused if he quoted Kool Moe Dee: How ya like me now? For one of the few times in his NFL career, Smith actually carried the 49ers to a win the most important win of his career. With his pass to Vernon Davis, Smith instantly entered the Pantheon of 49ers quarterbacks. Smith not only won the game he did it twice. First with his 28-yard quarterback sweep for a touchdown and then by leading the team 85 yards for the winning score. I think Smith can now shed the manager label and be regarded as an above-average quarterback. Quick, right now, who would you rather have as the 49ers quarterback: Baltimores Joe Flacco, Atlantas Matt Ryan or Smith? I think Smith has proved he can get the job done. More importantly, Smiths heroics now make the 49ers a complete team. All season long, the talk was about the defense and special teams, while the offense was just asked not to lose games. Now, the offense can condently take its place next to those other two units. All three had a hand in sending the 49ers to the NFC championship game for the rst time since 1995. And make no mistake this was a complete team win. Forget the fact the defense gave up more than 450 yards passing to Drew Brees. The Niners defense came up with ve turnovers and made the Saints offense pay every time they touched the ball, laying some serious hat all over the eld. And when the 49ers defense blinked and

His last-second TD immediately became The Grab, a tting nickname to follow a couple of others in 49ers postseason lore: The Catch from Joe Montana to Dwight Clark to win the NFC championship game against Dallas after the 1981 season and The Catch II from Steve Young to Terrell Owens for a winning TD with 3 seconds left in a 3027 wild-card win over the Packers after the 1998 season. No riled-up cheeseheads this time. Miami man Frank Gore, who last month became the 49ers career rushing leader, couldnt be happier not to need thermals this week while preparing for the biggest game yet in a seven-year career featuring three Pro Bowl selections. as San Franciscos. But the Niners are not the same team anymore, either. No longer do they have to win the game on defense. Smith and the 49ers offense has shown that when called upon, it can get the job done. Now the 49ers just need to heed Kool Moe Dees advice and Go to Work. And if you dont know Kool Moe Dee, you better ask someone. *** People are debating where Vernon Davis game-winning touchdown catch ts in 49ers lore. Everyone pretty much agrees it belongs in the top four all-time, but which spot? The three biggest plays in 49ers history are generally considered to be Dwight Clarks The Catch, John Taylors slant pass from Joe Oh yeah! Gore said with a grin when asked about being pleased to have another home game in San Francisco. If we would have had to go there, I wouldve toughened it up. I dont need it (big jacket) now. San Francisco drew a sellout crowd of 69,732 for Saturdays thriller against Drew Brees and New Orleans on a beautiful sunny winter day with a 62-degree kickoff temperature. While rain is in the forecast for Sundays NFC title game, it sure beats the alternative of travel to the Midwest this time of year. While Harbaugh wont root be careful what you wish for, he noted for anyone aside from big brother and Baltimore Ravens Montana to win Super Bowl XXIII over the Cincinnati Bengals in 1989, the Steve Young-to-Terrell Owens game winner over Green Bay in the 1998 playoffs and now Davis catch, which he suggested be called The Grab. There is no doubt The Catch is No. 1. That was the play that sent the Niners to their rst Super Bowl and helped establish the 49ers as Team of the Decade. That was the jumping off point for the franchises dynasty. Number two has to be Taylors catch, which won the Super Bowl. No playoff win is bigger than that. Id put the Young-to-Owens catch at No. 4. Both Young and Owen were superstars by that time of their careers and it was expected if the 49ers were to win that game over coach, John, he fully understands the benefits of hosting another postseason game and having players in their own beds leading up to Sunday. San Francisco earned the NFCs No. 2 seed. In terms of having the game here, that is an advantage for us, Harbaugh said. And I really say that after feeling the game this past Saturday in Candlestick. Our fans turned that stadium into a fortress. That was as good as it can get. Our crowd was behind us, our players felt it, it was a great environment. ... It felt like, I mean, somebody locked the gates and put us in here and we got 70,000 and a city behind us. It just felt that way, it felt good, it felt like an advantage. I hope the Packers, those two would be the ones to do it. Which leaves Saturdays Grab at No. 3. You could make an argument that it should be No. 1 for this reason: no one expected it. After being maligned for six years, no one expected Alex Smith to be a hero Saturday, nor Davis, who many believe has not lived up to his potential. *** If there were any lingering doubts about the East Coast bias of sports by the national media, they were put to rest Saturday night on ESPN, the East Coast sports leader. The presumptive Worldwide Leader in Sports had a decision to make Saturday night: lead with one of the most exciting NFL playoff games of all time San

goal line on the way to a 36-32 win. The play was called Vernon Post. Tears streamed down Davis face and he fell into the arms of rst-year coach Jim Harbaugh after the victory in San Franciscos rst playoff game in nine years. In January 2003, the 49ers rallied to stun the Giants 39-38 in the NFC wild-card game at Candlestick. Davis, who also had a 49-yard TD reception in the rst quarter, nished with seven catches for 180 yards the most yards receiving by a tight end in a playoff game.
we get that this week as well. Harbaugh wouldnt say whether he believes in the old adage that its tough to beat the same team twice in the NFL San Francisco swept its two regular-season meetings with Seattle and St. Louis in divisional play but he knows the Giants have improved plenty in the two months since the teams last saw each other. It became evident that the Giants were playing harder and just executing better and played as a team, Harbaugh said of watching Sundays game. Thats formidable opponent. That is a worthy opponent. That is a scary opponent. We will have to come with every ounce of our A game as well. Franciscos 36-32 win over the New Orleans Saints or, a blowout that was over by halftime New Englands 45-10 win over the Denver Tebows. Guess which game ESPN decided to lead with? What a joke.

Players, teams start rush to settle in arbitration
NEW YORK Players and teams started rushing to settle arbitration cases Monday, a day before the sides were to swap proposed salaries. Eleven players agreed to contracts, leaving 126 set to exchange gures after 142 led for arbitration last week. About 100 more were expected to reach agreements before the sides submit proposals Tuesday afternoon for one-year contracts that are not guaranteed. San Francisco Giants ace Tim Lincecum was expected to set records for the highest salaries asked for and received in arbitration. The two-time NL Cy Young Award winner made $13.1 million last season, completing a two-year deal worth $23.2 million. The highest gure ever requested was $22 million by Houston pitcher Roger Clemens in 2005 after he became a free agent and accepted arbitration. Among players with less than six years of major league service, the high of $18.5 million has been held by Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter since 2001. San Francisco gures to top the $14.25 million the Yankees submitted for Jeter. Others set to swap include NL Cy Young winner Clayton Kershaw and Los Angeles Dodgers teammate Andre Ethier, Philadelphia pitcher Cole Hamels and teammate Hunter Pence, World Series star Mike Napoli of Texas and Chicago Cubs pitcher Matt Garza.
SAN FRANCSICO The San Francisco Giants and outelder Angel Pagan agreed to a $4.85 million, oneyear contract that avoided arbitration. The team conrmed the deal Monday night. Pagan was acquired during last months winter meetings from the New York Mets for outelder Andres Torres and reliever Ramon Ramirez. The 30-year-old Pagan, who replaced mentor Carlos Beltran in center eld while with New York, is a switch-hitter with speed. He batted .262 with seven home runs and 56 RBIs last season,
down from .290 with 11 homers and 69 RBIs in 2010. Beltran moved to right field for the Mets in spring training before he was traded to the Giants in late July. After an injury-plagued stint Angel Pagan in the Bay Area that saw the 2010 World Series champions miss the playoffs, Beltran departed to the St. Louis Cardinals on a two-year contract.

Raiders ask to interview Olympic basketball players pool named Broncos OC for coaching job
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
ALAMEDA The Oakland Raiders search for a new head coach picked up steam on Monday as the team received permission to interview two Denver assistants and was also poised to talk to members of Green Bays staff. With the Broncos and Packers eliminated from the playoffs over the weekend, new general manager Reggie McKenzie could begin moving quickly to fill the job that opened up when he fired Hue Jackson last week on his rst day on the job. McKenzie got permission from the Broncos to interview offensive coordinator Mike McCoy and defensive coordinator Dennis Allen. McCoy also had an interview scheduled Monday for the job opening in Miami. I think its very complimentary to this organization that theyre having that opportunity and to their work, Broncos coach John Fox said. I think any assistant coachs aspiration is to be a head coach. It speaks for what this organization has accomplished this season. Time will tell. McCoy spent nine years as an offensive assistant in Carolina before joining the Broncos as offensive coordinator in 2009. He has been in that role for three seasons and oversaw a midseason transformation of the offense as it evolved from a passing attack with Kyle Orton at quarterback to the read-
option offense run by Tim Tebow. Allen just nished his rst year as defensive coordinator in Denver. He had previously been an assistant in Atlanta and New Orleans. McKenzie started work with the Raiders last Tuesday. His rst move was to re Jackson, who went 8-8 in his only season as head coach. McKenzie said at the time he wanted his own guy as head coach, leading to speculation that one of his former colleagues in Green Bay could get the job. With the Packers having been eliminated from the playoffs Sunday with a 37-20 loss to the New York Giants, McKenzie will be able to start interviewing those assistant coaches soon. McKenzie had been director of football operations in Green Bay before taking the job with the Raiders. One of the leading candidates will likely be linebackers coach Winston Moss, who has interviewed for openings with the Raiders in the past and played four seasons for the team from 1991-94. Moss said he will interview with the Raiders if McKenzie asks him, saying he has already thought about what he would do as a head coach. Theres always opportunities to put yourself in the same position as a head coach would and see how you would do things or what you would change or what you would add or what you would take away, Moss said. So with that being said, Ive done that, I feel good about the vision, the goals, the beliefs that can
be instilled within an organization that would give me the opportunity to be a head coach. Offensive coordinator Joe Philbin, defensive coordinator Dom Capers, quarterbacks coach Tom Clements and secondary coach Darren Perry also could be candidates. Its part of the process, Clements said. You see what happens. Theres some uncertainty about it, but you have a place here in Green Bay and its a very good place to be. So if youre mentioned for jobs, its a compliment. But until something happens, thats all it is. Oakland has also been granted permission to interview New Orleans offensive coordinator Pete Carmichael Jr., a person with knowledge of the request said on condition of anonymity because the Raiders are not publicizing the candidates. Carmichael took over play-calling duties when head coach Sean Payton broke his leg in Week 6 and Payton allowed him to continue handling the bulk of play-calling throughout the remainder of the season as the Saints set NFL records for most offensive yards and passing yards in a season. The coaching search started last week when McKenzie interviewed former Miami interim coach Todd Bowles on Friday. Bowles was an assistant head coach and secondary coach for the Dolphins before being promoted to replace the rst Tony Sparano with three games left in the season.
NEW YORK This U.S. basketball team might be even better than the last two that won gold medals. This will be the most talented of the three teams that Ive had the opportunity to coach, coach Mike Krzyzewski said Monday during a conference call. The Americans announced the 20 players who will be candidates for the London Games, adding Blake Grifn of the Clippers and LaMarcus Aldridge of Portland to the 18 holdovers from either the 2008 Olympics Blake Grifn or 2010 world championship who have said they wish to be considered again. The 12-man roster and alternates for the Olympics will be chosen from the new player pool in June. Returning from the team that won gold in Beijing are: Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh, Carmelo Anthony, Dwight Howard, Chris Paul and Deron Williams. Back from the reigning world champions are: Kevin Durant, Derrick Rose, Tyson Chandler, Eric Gordon, Rudy Gay, Kevin Love, Lamar Odom, Chauncey Billups, Russell Westbrook and Andre Iguodala. I like the fact that we have a roster full of guys whove been champions, either in the Olympics or world championships, and guys who
are excited to play, Krzyzewski said. USA Basketball chairman Jerry Colangelo had planned to add Grifn to the national team roster in 2009, but he was hurt shortly after being selected with the No. 1 overall pick and those plans were scrapped. Aldridge was on the national team roster but withdrew from consideration for the 2010 worlds for personal reasons. But both have a shot now if the Americans decide to bolster the frontcourt on a roster loaded with point guards and wing players. And its an experienced group, with Anthony playing in 59 games for the U.S. and James 55. To be on that list, Im honored again, to be able to represent my country at the highest level. I mean, its an unbelievable class. Weve got an unbelievable group coming in and Im looking forward to it, James said. The nal roster of 12 players and six alternates is due June 18, before the NBA nals will be completed in this lockout-delayed season, so there will be no time for a tryout camp. But USA Basketball needed to submit the list of all candidates by the end of this month so they could be entered in the drug-testing program. The Americans will have to decide how many point guards to keep from a list that includes Rose, the NBA MVP, Paul; Williams, Westbrook and Billups though he started at shooting guard in Istanbul, as he does now playing alongside Paul on the Clippers.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. On a rare Sunday off, Patriots players relaxed in front of their television sets to watch the only team standing between them and another Super Bowl appearance. They were impressed, though not surprised, by the Baltimore Ravens. Theyre a great team, New England wide receiver Wes Welker said Monday. They wouldnt be in this spot if they werent. They do some great things out there. They were good enough on Sunday to beat the Houston Texans 20-13 with the help of four turnovers in a matchup of dominant defenses. Now the Ravens (13-4) must face the only one of the top three offenses in the NFL remaining in the playoffs. No. 1 New Orleans and No. 3 Green Bay were eliminated in their divisional games. The No. 2 Patriots (14-3) are 7 1-2-point favorites in the AFC championship game on Sunday. They got there by beating Denver 45-10 Saturday night behind Tom Bradys six touchdown passes. Brady was one of those Patriots who watched the HoustonBaltimore game that would determine which players would be trying
to knock him to the ground and intercept his passes. I did watch that game, which is pretty rare, he said on WEEI radio. Players can learn a lot more from watching video of games in team meetings, which resumed Monday, where they can view plays from different angles while coaches zero in on the ner points. Youre just kind of watching the game more than anything and kind of seeing what happens and maybe pick up things here and there, Welker said, but, for the most part, (the team video) is a different shot so youre able to watch all the players from their perspective, from their positions and be able to see everything. It is a little bit different, being able to rewind back and see a guys footwork or leverage or different things like that. No matter what the angle of the camera, the perception of the Ravens defense is the same physical, aggressive and lled with playmakers such as linebackers Ray Lewis and Terrell Suggs and safety Ed Reed. Lewis led Baltimore with seven tackles and Reed came up with a game-clinching interception near the goal line in the nal minutes against the Texans.

WASHINGTON Babies dont learn to talk just from hearing sounds. New research suggests theyre lip-readers too. It happens during that magical stage when a babys babbling gradually changes from gibberish into syllables and eventually into that rst mama or dada. Florida scientists discovered that starting around age 6 months, babies begin shifting from the intent eye gaze of early infancy to studying mouths when people talk to them. The baby in order to imitate you has to gure out how to shape their lips to make that particular sound theyre hearing, explains developmental psychologist David Lewkowicz of Florida Atlantic University, who led the study being published Monday. Its an incredibly complex process. Apparently it doesnt take them too long to absorb the movements that match basic sounds. By their rst birthdays, babies start shifting back to look you in the eye again unless they hear the unfamiliar sounds of a foreign language. Then, they stick with lipreading a bit longer. Its a pretty intriguing finding, says University of Iowa psychology professor Bob McMurray, who also studies speech development. The babies know what they need to know about, and theyre able to deploy their attention to whats important at that point in development. The new research appears in this weeks issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. It offers more evidence that quality face-time with your tot is very important for speech development more

But scientists have long known that babies also look to speakers faces for important social cues about what theyre hearing. Just like adults, theyre drawn to the eyes, which convey important nonverbal messages like the emotion connected to words and where to direct attention. Lewkowicz went a step further, wondering whether babies look to the lips for cues as well, sort of like how adults lip-read to decipher what someones saying at a noisy party. So he and doctoral student Amy HansenTift tested nearly 180 babies, groups of them at ages 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 months. How? They showed videos of a woman speaking in English or Spanish to babies of English speakers. A gadget mounted on a soft headband tracked where each baby was focusing his or her gaze and for how long. They found a dramatic shift in attention: When the speaker used English, the 4-monthStudies have shown that babies who are best at distinguishing between vowel sounds like olds gazed mostly into her eyes.

NEW YORK Its dramatic news when a marathon runner collapses with no pulse. Now a big study nds such calamities are rare and usually due to a pre-existing heart problem. The study also found such incidents are increasing as more runners try to go the distance. You hear about this more and more, said Dr. Aaron Baggish, senior author of the study Baggish, who runs a program for athletes with heart issues at Massachusetts General Hospital, and co-authors present their analysis in Thursdays issue of the New England Journal of Medicine. The study covers 10.9 million runners who participated in marathons or half-marathons in the United States from 2000 to 2010. By scouring media reports and checking with medical staff of races, the researchers identified 59 cases of cardiac arrest, where a runner became unconscious with no pulse during the race or within an hour of finishing. Cardiac arrest is when the heart stops because of a heart attack, a rhythm

problem or other disorder. Forty-two of the runners died. The overall gures translate to 1 cardiac arrest per 184,000 participants and 1 death per 259,000 participants, the researchers said. Those numbers are low compared to other athletic activities, as shown by prior studies of deaths in college athletes, triathlon participants and previously healthy middle-aged joggers, researchers said. Most of the cardiac arrests involved marathons rather than half-marathons, and 51 of the 59 cases happened in men. More cases showed up during 2005-2010 than in the preceding ve-year span, but thats just because more people are participating in the races, Baggish said. More worrisome was the nding that among male marathoners, the rate of cardiac arrest per 100,000 runners was higher during the latter half of the decade than in the rst half. But what happened when these babies accustomed to English heard Spanish? The 12-month-olds studied the mouth longer, just like younger babies. They needed the extra information to decipher the unfamiliar sounds. That ts with research into bilingualism that shows babies brains ne-tune themselves to start distinguishing the sounds of their native language over other languages in the rst year
Baggish thinks thats because of a shift in attitudes about who can run long distances. Even a decade ago, 26.2-mile marathons were considered appropriate only for very athletic people, he said. But more recently people have come to think of it as something anyone can do, and even as a healthy activity for lowering the risk of heart disease, he said. So it has attracted people with a family history of early heart disease or early deaths, and these are just the people who are likely to get into trouble. In the 31 cardiac arrests for which researchers could nd a cause, most were due to clogged, hardened arteries or hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, a sometimes inherited condition in which an unusually thick heart muscle can interfere with the pumping rhythm. Most of the victims were unaware of their pre-existing conditions, Baggish said. Baggish said he would encourage aspiring of life. Thats one reason its easier for babies to become bilingual than older children or adults. But the continued lip-reading shows the 1year-olds clearly still are primed for learning, McMurray says. Babies are so hard to study that this is a fairly heroic data set, says Duke University cognitive neuroscientist Greg Appelbaum, who found the research so compelling that he
and experienced runners to talk to their doctors about their heart risks for distance running. Dr. Gordon Tomaselli, president of the American Heart Association, called the study reassuring for finding so few cardiac arrests. For most people, running a marathon, if you are so inclined, is a reasonably safe proposition, he said. Tomaselli, a heart specialist at Johns Hopkins University, also said runners should pay attention if they feel chest pain, dizziness, lightheadedness or unusually short breath or rapid heartbeat while running. You should listen to your body, he said. In the same issue of the journal, other doctors wrote a brief report about treating three runners who suffered heart attacks after nishing last years Boston Marathon. None had cardiac arrest and all survived. We dont want to alarm people about marathon running. The benets of exercise are well established said one of that reports authors, Dr. Navin Kapur of Tufts Medical Center in Boston. The report shows even seasoned marathon runners can have heart attacks, something paramedics should keep in mind if a runner shows suggestive signs, he said. wants to know more. Are the babies who start to shift their gaze back to the eyes a bit earlier better learners, or impatient to their own detriment? What happens with a foreign language after 12 months? Lewkowicz is continuing his studies of typically developing babies. He theorizes that there may be different patterns in children at risk of autism, something autism experts caution would be hard to prove.

Indian doctors have reported the countrys rst cases of totally drug-resistant tuberculosis, a long-feared and virtually untreatable form of the killer lung disease. Its not the rst time highly resistant cases like this have been seen. Since 2003, patients have been documented in Italy and Iran. It has mostly been limited to impoverished areas, and has not spread widely. But experts believe there could be many undocumented cases. No one expects the Indian TB strains to rapidly spread elsewhere. The airborne disease is mainly transmitted through close personal contact and isnt nearly as contagious as the u. Indeed, most of the cases of this kind of TB were not from person-to-person infection but were mutations that occurred in poorly treated patients. Whats more, theres a debate within the public health community about whether to even label TB infections as totally drug resistant. The World Health Organization hasnt accepted the term and still considers the cases to be whats now called extensively drug-resistant TB, or XDR. However, Dr. Paul Nunn, a coordinator at the WHOs Stop TB Department in Geneva, said there is ample proof that these virtually untreatable cases do exist. The Indian hospital that saw the initial cases tested a dozen medicines and none of them worked, a pretty comprehensive assessment. A TB expert at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said they do appear to be totally resistant to available drugs. It is concerning, said Dr. Kenneth Castro, director of the CDCs Division of Tuberculosis Elimination. Anytime we see something like this, we better get on top of it before it becomes a more widespread problem. Ordinary TB is easily cured by taking antibiotics for six to nine months. However, if that treatment is interrupted or the dose is cut down, the stubborn bacteria battle back and mutate into a tougher strain that can no longer be killed by standard drugs. The disease becomes harder and more expensive to treat. In India, doctors in Mumbai have reported a total of 12 patients who failed initial treatment and also didnt respond to the medicines tried next over an average of two to three years. Three have died. None of the others have been successfully treated. The doctors detailed the rst four cases in a letter to a U.S. medical journal last month, blaming private doctors for prescribing inappropriate drug plans that sparked greater resistance in three of those four patients. These three patients had received erratic, unsupervised second-line drugs, added individually and often in incorrect doses, from multiple private practitioners, wrote the doctors from P.D. Hinduja National Hospital and Medical Research Center in the journal Clinical Infectious Diseases.
Tuberculosis is an age-old scourge that lies dormant in an estimated one-third of people.About 10 percent of those people eventually develop active TB, which kills roughly 2 million a year, according to WHO.Each victim infects an average of 10 to 15 others every year,typically through sneezing or coughing.

No, no, we are not satised, and we will not be satised until justice rolls down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream. While much work has been done, McNair-Knox noted there is still more to be done. Former San Mateo mayor Claire Mack, honorary chair of yesterdays event, agreed. She started with a simple plea to help for those to help her stop and cover grafti around the community. Keep it clean, she said, adding Dont think its over because its 2012. Mack pointed to numerous examples of inequity. Although most on the Peninsula are in a good place, she said its no reason not to help. Two teachers were also recognized for their work in furthering work inspired by King, Jessica Thomas Brugos, an English teacher from Menlo School, and Kathy Connolly, acting graduate services coordinator and eighth grade transition facilitator for Beechwood Elementary School in Menlo Park. Connolly pointed to Kings dream of equal opportunities for education. There is still work to be done, she said, until all education offers opportunities to support a childs intelligence and character. Thomas Brugos talked about the basic inequalities of our area, such as some people going to bed hungry. Those les-

sons, she said, need to be shared with students as inspiration for them to get involved and make a change. Among the speakers were two 9-yearolds who recently participated in the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. essay, poetry contest presented by the North Central San Mateo Neighborhood Association. Asante Spencer, a fourth grade student from the Nueva School, talked about the need to work together to create change. Although King was an advocate of change, she explained many people worked together to create the change he talked about. Without support of black and white people, people of color might not be here today, she read. Shawn Cotton Jr., a fourth grade student from Beresford Elementary School, spoke about perseverance. Always be tough and dont give up. Keep at it; keep at it; keep at it, he said.

The 49ers returned to their practice facility in Santa Clara Monday and began their preparation for the Giants. We have more than enough time to get ready for this team. Theres going to be a need for a laser-like focus here. We really need to focus on our task here, 49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh said. Its a big game. Its a great opponent, thats where our thoughts will be. Harbaughs team has to defend its home field one more time and said the capacity crowd at Candlestick made a difference. Our fans turned that stadium into a fortress. Thats as good as its going to

get, he said. We got 70,000 in a city behind us. It felt good. It felt like an advantage. With the Super Bowl only one game away, Niners fever is going around, and its contagious. Lefty ODouls Restaurant and Lounge, which had run out of booze after Saturdays game, had its supply replenished Monday in preparation for the Niners playoff game Sunday, a restaurant spokesman said. You couldnt even get in, spokesman Lee Houskeeper said about Saturdays crowd. Stake out your booth, your territory and make friends with the bartender early. Lefty ODouls was the World Series Headquarters in the 2010 seaThe focused study also favored an option that calls for constructing partial cloverleafs at the interchange with the widening of State Route 92 by one lane in each direction. This option was rst proposed more than 10 years ago. The other three options include: Conversion of the northern half of the interchange to a diamond conguration. The two existing loop ramps would be eliminated. The existing westboundto-northbound diagonal ramp would be widened. A left-turn lane would be added to northbound El Camino Real. The existing southbound-to-westbound diagonal ramp would be relocated to t the new intersection which would be controlled by a trafc signal. Conversion of the northeast quadrant of the cloverleaf to a diamond configuration. The northbound-to-westbound loop would be eliminated, with a northbound left-turn lane on El Camino Real provided. The westbound-to-north-
son when the San Francisco Giants made its run to its first championship since moving west and Houskeeper said, not believing in a jinx, that he and ODouls are already making Super Bowl plans. Were going all the way, Houskeeper said. Were absolutely convinced were going to the Super Bowl. Houskeeper expects an invasion of New Yorkers and said many true Niners fans will walk around the corner to the Gold Dust Lounge for the game. If anyone is still looking for a 49ers jersey, they might be hard pressed to find one. Schristian Gonzalez, who works at the Champs Sports store at Stonestown Galleria in San Francisco, said the store has sold all of its 49ers jerseys and is running low on other 49ers merchandise. The team is doing it, Gonzalez said. (People) are buying them like its nothing. Sports Authority in Daly City is also seeing the effects of the 49ers success, and has sold out of nearly all the teams merchandise. Store manager Phil Phan said he doesnt expect much more merchandise to roll into the store, but that once he gets any, it will immediately hit the shelves. bound ramp would be widened for additional lanes and signalized at El Camino. Conversion of the existing full cloverleaf conguration to a diamond conguration with modications to the State Route 92/Delaware Street interchange. The westbound on-ramp from Delaware would be connected to the westbound off-ramp to El Camino Real. The off-ramp from eastbound State Route 92 to Delaware would be eliminated. Traffic wishing to reach Delaware Street would exit at El Camino Real, proceed through the intersection of the off-ramp and onto the eastbound on-ramp. The City Council will hear an update on the project at a special study session, 5:45 p.m., tonight, conference room C, City Hall, 330 W. 20th Ave., San Mateo.

The city is currently in the process of developing a cooperative agreement with Caltrans that the City Council will vote on in February or March. Cost for the work is expected to be up to $15 million and San Mateo is currently sitting on a $2.8 million grant from the federal government for the design and construction of the project. The city is also seeking about $5 million for the project from the Metropolitan Transportation Commission. The MTC initiated a study in 2010 to examine the conditions at the interchanges in conjunction with the City/County Association of Governments, San Mateo County Transportation Authority and the city of San Mateo.
