SMALL BUSINESS Center offers variety of courses CORNING The kitchen at Rolling Hills Casino will under go a major renova- tion April 27 to May 14, dur- ing which time the Timbers Steakhouse and the casino's buffet will be closed. The casino plans to serve meals chuck-wagon style in its event tent. "It's been almost 13 years since we served our first meals in the Rolling Hills Buffet and Timbers Steakhouse," said Food and Beverage Manager James Rosenbalm. "It's time to put in some fancy new tile flooring and up- grade and modernize our kitchen with some la- bor saving equipment so food is cooked more effi- ciently." According to Rosenbalm, the casino has served al- most 2 million meals in the buffet since it opened in July 2002. That figure does not include meals served in other eating facilities at the business. "With our business grow- ing rapidly every year, we couldn't put off the reno- vations any longer," added Rosenbalm. With the temporary clo- sure of the popular buf- fet and steakhouse, casino management opted to serve meals in its large tent event center. The Rolling Hills Chuck-Wagon Buffet will feature a carving station for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and a daily menu change.

By Michael Liedtke TheAssociatedPress SAN FRANCISCO Yahoo is still struggling to boost rev- enue nearly three years into CEO Marissa Mayer's ten- ure, magnifying concerns that the Internet company holds little value beyond its lucrative Asian invest- ments. The latest evidence of Yahoo's financial mal- aise emerged Tuesday with the release the com- pany's first-quarter earn- ings report. Mayer and Ya- hoo's chief financial offi- cer, Ken Goldman, eased investors' disappointment by pledging to cut costs, while indicating that the company may be willing to fulfill Wall Street's de- sire for a spinoff of its stake in Yahoo Japan. Investors already had driven down the compa- ny's stock by 12 percent so far this year before Tues- day's numbers came out. The shares initially fell by an additional 2 percent in extended trading, but then rebounded after the cost- cutting pledge and the Ya- hoo Japan remarks. If that happens, it would mirror what Mayer has already started to do with an even more valuable stake in Al- ibaba Group, an e-com- merce star in China. Yahoo'sstockrose66cents to $45.15 after Mayer's re- marks in a webcast review- ing the financial results. TECHNOLOGY Yahoo's 1Q disappoints, but stock rises on Yahoo Japan hopes By Tali Arbel & Joseph Pisani The Associated Press NEW YORK Verizon is de- fending its new, cheaper ca- ble packages that let cus- tomers choose groups of channels as media compa- nies protest. Francis Shammo, Ver- izon's chief financial offi- cer, said in a conference call Tuesday that the new packages are allowed "un- der our existing contracts." The plans were rolled out Sunday. They start at $55 a month for a basic tier of 35 channels that include broadcast networks and news as well as Food Net- work, HGTV and AMC. You also get two themed chan- nel packs, such as sports or lifestyle channels. ESPN, owned by The Walt Disney Co., objects to the new, more custom- izable option, saying ESPN and ESPN2 can't be in a separate sports package according to its contract with Verizon. Fox Sports, owned by 21st Century Fox, says Verizon's new pack- ages also violate agree- ments and it will continue to talk with the company, according to an emailed statement. NBCUniver- sal, which is owned by ca- ble company Comcast, also says the new FiOS deals vi- olate agreements. Media companies charge distributors such as Com- cast's cable arm, DirecTV and FiOS for the rights to carry their channels. Those fees are typically based on how many subscribers the channels have. By making a channel optional, Verizon can keep costs down and charge only the subscrib- ers that want it. "Most people only, on average, watch 17 chan- nels," said Shammo. "So this is a way to give con- sumers what they want." ESPN is by far the most expensive basic cable net- work for distributors, ac- cording to estimates from data provider SNL Kagan, while Fox Sports 1 and ESPN2 are also in the top 10. Verizon Communica- tions Inc. is the country's largest wireless carrier as well as an Internet and TV provider. It said on Tuesday that it added 565,000 Ver- izon Wireless subscribers in the quarter, up 4.8 per- cent from the same quarter a year ago. It added 133,000 FiOS Internet customers, up 36 percent from a year ago and 90,000 FiOS cable cus- tomers, up 58 percent from a year ago.
