Santa Clara Boasts More Than Half of State's Semifinalists for Intel Contest
Silicon Valley Boasts More Than Half of California’s Intel Science Contest SemiFinalists
by Michelle C. Carr Crowe
Economists generally predict either technology or real estate will power the next wave of economic growth. With the recent announcement of fifteen Bay Area students chosen as the prestigious Intel Science Contest semifinalists, it appears Silicon Valley innovation may again power up the nation’s next economic growth cycle.
Fifteen high school seniors who call Silicon Valley home were named semifinalists in the prestigious Intel science contest. Of the fifteen, six were from San Jose's Lynbrook High School.
The six seniors recognized are David Liu, Tony Ho, Akshay Maheshwari, Ritik Malhotra, Tejas Navaratna and Raman Nelakanti.
Part of the well-known "Cupertino Schools," Lynbrook is one of five high schools in the Fremont Union High School District. Students attending Lynbrook reside in either Saratoga or San Jose.
The remaining nine Bay Area students came from Harker Academy, Palo Alto High , Foothill High and Mission High.
Each student was awarded $1,000 personally, as well as $1,000 for his or her respective school.
This year 1,736 entries were received. Of those, 300 semifinalists were chosen, and 28 of them were from California. California has historically received the highest number of semifinalists each year out of all 50 states.
More than half of all California semifinalists this year were from the Santa Clara County / Silicon Valley area, 15 out of 28.
On January 27th, a total of forty finalists nationwide will be selected to win an expense-paid trip for the final competition, held in the nation's capitol, Washington, D.C.

Savings for Cupertino Seniors-the Tax Credit for Move-DOWN Cupertino Buyers
Savings for Cupertino Seniors-the Tax Credit for Move-DOWN Cupertino Buyers
By Michelle C. Carr-Crowe
Lost in the hoopla about extending and expanding the “up to” $8,000 credit for new homebuyers is the credit for existing homeowners. In my opinion, this can be “Senior Salvation” - a tax credit for move-DOWN Cupertino sellers and buyers.
I called my broker, my local real estate board, the California Association of REALTORS®, and even the IRS to ask my question: does this credit apply for move-down buyers?
So far the answer is, “As long as they qualify and have a tax to apply the credit to, it looks like YES.”
To summarize:
1. A first time homebuyer is one that has not owned a home for at least three years.
2. A repeat homebuyer must have owned their current home for at least five consecutive years out of the last eight years.
3. The maximum purchase price for the new home is $800,000.
4. If single, your earning maximum to qualify is $125,000; if married, it’s up to $250,000.
5. There's no gap between the prior deadline (November 30th) and the new credit period, which ends April 30th.
6. While you must be in a contract to purchase your new home on or before April 30th, you have until June 30th to close the transaction.
7. To prove you qualify, you'll need to attach proof of purchase to your tax return (most likely a HUD-1 or final closing statement).
Caveat: please, please check with your tax professional and attorney before making any real estate commitments.
However, this may finally be a tax credit that helps seniors who’ve lived in their homes for more than five consecutive years of the past eight.
For example, a senior couple selling a $2 million dollar single family home in Cupertino Monta Vista they’ve owned for the past 8 years, then buying a new single-level 2 bedroom condo in San Jose for $650,000 not only get to keep their $500,000 tax-free capital gains benefit and transfer their tax basis, they can also now use up to $6,500 as a tax credit.
And as the capital gains $500,000 tax-free credit is set to EXPIRE as of December 31, 2010, now is a huge window of opportunity for seniors seeking to maximize their benefits.

Today, Measure G is on the ballot. Below is a synopsis of the proposal. Basically, it is an extension of the existing parcel tax at the same amount of $98, which is set to expire, as well as an annual adjustment for inflation. The measure exempts homeowners who are seniors and/or disabled. Please remember to exercise your right to vote today!
NOVEMBER 3, 2009: MEASURE G
To provide stable, local funds needed to protect teaching positions, and assure that Cupertino, Fremont, Homestead, Lynbrook, and Monta Vista High School students are prepared to successfully compete for college admission, shall the Fremont Union High School District replace its existing, expiring parcel tax with a tax at the same annual rate of $98 per parcel to be adjusted annually for inflation, with all funds benefitting local high schools, and offering an exemption to seniors and the disabled?
According to information for the 2007-2008 Fiscal Year from the California Dept of Education, following is some basic information on district funding dollars per student as compared to all of California as well as other nearby districts with high-performing academic scores.

Testing New Tools & Tired of Looking Stupid
Testing New Tools & Tired of Looking Stupid
by Michelle C. Carr-Crowe
There is so much good info out there on the Internet and I love learning new things. Working in the Lynbrook High Homes area, I am surrounded by intelligent, technologically literate people.
You can perhaps sympathize and understand when I say I just get tired of looking and feeling stupid when I try new tools and technology. For example, right now I'm trying to add a button and code to my blog. I am not hip to HTML although I can add links and mailto instructions.
To me, it seems there's just an unlimited amount of opportunities for looking stupid in very public ways these days.
I read the instructions. I've copied the code verbatim, and I'm praying it works. But if it doesn't, please forgive me if this is a mess. I just had to try it and see if I could do it right. If it works, "PRAISE THE LORD!" If not, I'll try it again. And then I'll get to try something else new again soon.

Treats Not Tricks - Grandma Judy's Tips for a Fun & Safe Halloween in Lynbrook
Treats Not Tricks - Grandma Judy's Tips for a Fun & Safe Halloween in Lynbrook
Grandma Judy's Rules for Halloween—Making sure You Get Treats not Tricks
My mother Judy Carr, like most children, LOVED Halloween. Most parents like me endure it. Combining an abundance of sugar-rush-inducing candy, the exuberant freedom from inhibitions due to make-believe and costumes and the often opposing ideas of "Halloween fun" between younger and older children can result in a disappointing feeling of being tricked when you expected treats.
Grandma Judy had the usual rules: walk, don't run; have at least 1 partner; only go to houses you know (or at least ones that are well-lit); don't touch the pumpkins or displays; don't eat any candy you received along the way, and listen to your chaperone. Also, keep in mind the potential for rain, and plan accordingly. There’s nothing worse than wet shoes, a torn costume or a hard fall to spook youngsters and spoil the fun.
Grandma Judy's Tips for Halloween
1) Wear the right shoes! Maybe rain boots don't look right with Ariel's tail but they can help keep little ones from getting wet feet and catching cold.
2) Wear a turtleneck and leggings or thermal shirt and long-johns under costumes. Most commercially-made costumes are made of thin polyester or nylon. It's easy for children's body temperature to dramatically drop when they get cold. Even if you realize it right away, it's still a long trek back home with you looking like a ghoul, dragging along an uncooperative or sobbing child.
3) Make glow sticks and snap-together glow tubes part of the fun. We distribute a few glow sticks to each child – a necklace with one glow stick hanging in the back and one in the front at a minimum. The best way to make it fun for children is to incorporate them into the costume’s design – such as weaving it around the princess crown, making it into “jewelry” or attaching them to the costume or treat container.
4) Use reflective tape in costume and container design. Reflective tape wound around the pirate sword and pieces cut into the shapes of eyes, ears and mouth for the plastic pumpkin help a child be seen. Even better is to streamline – tape along the sides of legs and the arms of children. Or make a design on their backs – spell out BOO, for example.
5) Make a stopwatch part of the fun. If the total time allotted is 1 hour for trick-or-treating, the leader (adult or teenager in charge), sets it first for 30 minutes, then 20, then 10, then 5, then 3 then 1.
6) Plan out and map route in advance, leave it with the adult at home and stick to it. That way if someone does get hurt or lost, the parents know right where to go.
7) Bring at least 2 flashlights, 2 cells phones and 2 watches. Someone always ends up with a dead battery at the worst time, so doubling up is a good idea.
8) Bring along at least 3 pieces of your OWN candy so you can safely snack along the way. Have a safe & fun Halloween!

Cupertino Area High Schools Increase Already High API scores
Cupertino Area High Schools Increase Already High API scores
By Michelle C. Carr-Crowe, ABR, ALHS, CDPE, RECS, SRES
San Jose, Calif.—All five Cupertino area high schools of the Fremont Union High School District recently increased their Academic Performance Index (API) scores.
Cupertino High School led the way with a 39-point increase from 840 to 879—the highest in the district. Cupertino High also distinguished itself by earning the largest growth of all comprehensive high schools throughout Santa Clara County.
Fremont High School saw a 2-point increase to 741. Lynbrook earned a 6-point increase to 926. Homestead increased 7 points to 853. Monta Vista saw an 11-point increase to 935. Combined with Cupertino High’s stellar 39-point increase, the overall district increased 12 points.
Many new home buyers with children consider API scores heavily in their decision-making process when purchasing a home. With the continuing rise in API scores throughout the Cupertino schools in the Fremont Union High School District, both current and future homeowners can feel confident their children are benefitting from a consistent educational advantage.
Congratulations Students Staff!

Homestead 7 Point Increase API = 853
Lynbrook 6 Point Increase API = 926
Monta Vista 11 Point Increase API = 935
