Eighty-nine-year-old Pauline
Reade will remain in her Pacifica
home after fighting off foreclosure
proceedings on a loan she was
tricked into signing by a scam artist
who has since fled the country.
Reade faced foreclosure on the
home she has lived in since 1951
after Fetuu Tupoufutuna, a scam
contractor, tricked her into signing
loan documents in the sum of hun-
dreds of thousands of dollars with
various banks and mortgage entities,
according to Reade’s attorneys.
“I’m so relieved,” Reade said yes-
terday. “I should have known bet-
ter.”
In March 2010, the San Mateo
County District Attorney’s Office
issued an arrest warrant for
Tupoufutuna and he faces up to nine
charges in the elder abuse case
including elder fraud by a caretaker,
forgery and a great taking allegation
among others.

Aragon senior wins science honor

Student earns one of 300 semifinalist slots in Intel Science and Talent Search
By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Seventeen-year-old Peter Zhan
has always had an interest in how
the world works.
Thankfully, through math and sci-
ence classes, he found an outlet to
explore the ins and outs of the
world. For the last two years, Zhan
has independently been studying the
effects of temperature on living
organisms. His scientific and statis-
tical work earned him one of 300
semifinalist slots in the 2011 Intel
Science and Talent Search. Zhan
was surprised by the announcement
which came during lunch at Aragon
High School Wednesday.
“Oh my gosh,” he said with a grin
walking from the office to the group
of people waiting with an oversized
check and balloons.
The Foster City teen pointed to
his mom and teachers for giving
him the knowledge and support for
the research.
His project, “Global Warming’s
Impact on Living Organisms: A
Quantitative Analysis of the Effect
of Temperature on Bacteria,” mathe-
matically analyzed how temperature
influences bacterial growth. Zhan
found bacteria increase its metabol-
ic rate at low temperatures; growth
rate increases as temperature
increases; living organisms possess
critical transition temperatures,
above which the metabolic outputs
rapidly diminish, resulting in death;
and that life can only exist within HEATHER MURTAGH/DAILY JOURNAL

Oklahoma boy rescued
after tongue gets stuck on pole
WOODWARD, Okla. — In a scene
straight from the movie “A Christmas
Story,” an 8-year-old Oklahoma boy got
his tongue stuck to a metal pole after he
licked it on a dare.
Officials say when rescue crews
arrived Tuesday morning, the boy was
standing on his tiptoes, trying to wriggle
his frozen tongue free from a stop sign
pole across the street from Woodward
Middle School.
Paramedics were able to help the boy
by pouring water on his tongue. Once
free, the boy told officials he got stuck
after his brother dared him to lick the
pole.
The boy was taken to a Woodward
hospital for treatment.
The scene was similar to one in “A

from Jean Shepard’s memoir of a boy in
the 1940s.

San Carlos considers parcel tax
By Heather Murtagh
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
San Carlos voters could be deciding on a
$111 parcel tax renewal during a special May
ballot should school officials decide to move
forward.
In 2003, voters passed Measure D, a $98
annual parcel tax through 2011. The tax is
now about $110 with cost-of-living adjust-
ments. On Thursday, the San Carlos
Elementary School District Board of Trustees
will discuss results from a 400-person phone
survey gauging voters about the possibility of
renewing the tax. A vote to put a renewal
attempt on a May 3 all-mail ballot will go
before the board Thursday, Jan. 27. Such a
measure would require a two-thirds approval
rate to pass.
Thursday’s conversation will allow the
board to discuss the possible amount and
duration of a new parcel tax, said
Superintendent Craig Baker.
The tax generates about $1 million annually
for the district. Last year, the board opted

recognition of difficult economic times.
Godbe Research conducted a 400-person
phone survey from Dec. 6 through Dec. 9 to
gauge community thoughts on the topic. The
findings, which will be presented to the board
Thursday, found support for extending the tax
at $111, about its current rate.
Board President Tom Quiggle called the
public support of the district “deeply gratify-
ing.” While the possible amount for a parcel
tax seems clear, Quiggle estimated the tax
duration would be more of a debate.
There was a 14-point difference — 64 per-
cent to 78 percent — in voter support between
the longest duration, 16 years, and the short-
est, four years. However, when the length is
considered with the amount, the impact on
voter approval is reduced. Godbe recommend-

would help rebuild state
By Judy Lin
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SACRAMENTO — The Legislature’s non-
partisan analyst on Wednesday called Gov. Jerry
Brown’s budget proposal a “good starting
point” for rebuilding state government but cau-
tioned that it carries a lot of risk.
Legislative Analyst Mac Taylor released his
assessment of Brown’s proposal to close an esti-
mated $25.4 billion shortfall over the next 18
months with temporary tax extensions, deep
program cuts and a reorganization of state and
local governments.
“The governor’s proposal includes reductions
in nearly every area of the state budget and a
package of revenue proposals that merit serious
legislative consideration,” Taylor wrote. “We
think the governor’s package is a good starting
point for legislative deliberations.”

SACRAMENTO — Two San Francisco
Bay Area men have been sentenced to prison
for growing marijuana on federal land.
A federal judge on Tuesday sentenced
20-year-old Jose Alfredo Zepeda of East

Zepeda and Arroyo were arrested after a

In the shootout, two deputies were wounded
and Zepeda’s brother-in-law, Juan Carlos

Mad morning for rampage suspect
By Amanda Lee Myers
and Justin Pritchard
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TUCSON, Ariz. — For Jared
Loughner, the morning of the dead-
ly shooting rampage was a blur of
activity.
He hustled to Walmart twice. He
ran a red light, with the officer let-
ting him off with a warning. Back
home, he grabbed a black bag from
the trunk of a family car and fled
into the desert on foot, his suspi-
cious father giving chase.
Later, Loughner took a cab to a
Safeway supermarket and began
squeezing off round after round into
the crowd.
The new details of the Walmart
visits and the traffic stop emerged
Wednesday, adding to the picture of
the last frenetic hours the 22-year-
old spent before the attack Saturday
that gravely wounded his apparent

Poll: Obama, GOP
improve public standing
WASHINGTON — Americans
give higher marks to President
Barack Obama and congressional
Republicans after a holiday season
of compromise paid dividends for
both, according to the latest
Associated Press-GfK poll.
At the start of the divided govern-
ment era, the survey found that 53
percent of Americans approve of
how Obama is doing his job, his
best numbers since the divisive
health care vote 10 months ago.
And, compared with just after the
November elections, more now

the new Republican-controlled
House can work together to solve
the country’s most urgent problems,
chief among them the struggling
economy.
“It’s going to be difficult because
there are some bleeding-heart liber-
als way over on the left and some
uptight conservatives,” said Spirit
Fliege, 83, a Republican from
Brentwood, Calif. “It’s going to
take someone who can operate very
smoothly. Whether Obama can or
not, we don’t know.”
Federal budget deficit
narrows to $80B in December
WASHINGTON — The federal
budget deficit narrowed slightly in
December compared to a year ago,
but the deficit for the entire year is
still on pace to exceed $1 trillion.
The government ran a deficit of
$80 billion last month, down 12.4
percent from the previous
December, the Treasury Department
said Wednesday.
Through the first three months of
the current budget year, the deficit
totals $370.8 billion, an improve-
ment of 3.1 percent from the same
period a year ago.
Private economists expect that the
tax-cut package signed into law last
month will lead to a much larger
deficit while also helping to boost
economic growth.

Haiti mourns the dead

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — The air was

where everyone lost a brother, a child, a

broken buildings to hang wreaths of flow-

The landscape is much as the quake left it,
thanks to a reconstruction effort that has yet

Lebanon’s government collapses

By Elizabeth Kennedy
and Bassem Mroue
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BEIRUT — Lebanon’s government
collapsed Wednesday after Hezbollah
and its allies resigned from the Cabinet
in a dispute with Western-backed fac-
tions over upcoming indictments in the
2005 assassination of former Prime
Minister Rafik Hariri.
A U.N.-backed tribunal investigating
the truck bombing that killed Hariri and
22 others is widely expected to name
members of the Shiite militant group,
which many fear could re-ignite sectari-
an violence that has erupted repeatedly
in the tiny nation.
Hezbollah’s walkout ushers in the
country’s worst political crisis since
2008 in one of the most volatile corners
of the Middle East.
Lebanon’s 14-month-old government
was an uneasy coalition linking bitter
rivals: a Western-backed bloc led by
Hariri’s son Saad and Hezbollah, which
is supported by Syria and Iran and main-
tains an arsenal that far outweighs that of
the national army.
Disputes over the tribunal have para-
lyzed the government for months, with
Hezbollah denouncing the court as a
conspiracy by the U.S. and Israel and
urging the prime minister to reject any of
its findings. But Hariri has refused to
break cooperation with the Netherlands-
based tribunal.
Now, the chasm between the two sides
is deepening with Hezbollah accusing
Hariri’s bloc of bowing to the West.
Hezbollah’s ministers timed their resig-
nations to coincide with Hariri’s meeting
with President Barack Obama in
Washington, forcing him to meet the
American president as a caretaker prime
minister.

WASHINGTON — President Barack

their commitment to strengthening
Lebanon’s sovereignty and independ-

departed for France to consult with
President Nicolas Sarkozy before
returning to Beirut, according to a
Lebanese official who spoke on condi-

Torrential rain,mudslides in Brazil kill 257
RIO DE JANEIRO — Summer rains sent tons of red mud
and torrents of water rushing down mountainsides in towns out-
side Rio, enveloping homes of rich and poor alike and killing at
least 257 people in 24 hours. Some survivors clung to trees to
escape the water and landslides.
Rescuers used heavy machinery, shovels and bare hands to
dig through debris in a search for survivors Wednesday. It was
not immediately clear how many people were rescued. At least
50 remained missing, and officials feared that figure would rise.
In Teresopolis, a town 40 miles (65 kilometers) north of Rio,
the rain overflowed creeks and flash floods swept over already
water-logged mountainsides. Brick and wooden shacks built on
hillsides stripped of trees, washed away in surging earth and
water, leaving behind only a long trail of rusty red mud.
Heavy rains and mudslides kill hundreds of people across
Brazil each year. Especially punished are the poor, whose rick-

That night, May and a 16-year-

firebug strikes again
Two fires that broke out early in

Letters to the editor
Republican playbook
Editor,
Katherine Murray has shown in
“Kreitman’s angry ‘untruths’” in the Jan. 6
edition of the Daily Journal that her “born
again” role as a confused conservative has
resulted in her purposefully leaving out a few
letters of the alphabet. The real term should
read — un-convenient-truths.
Kreitman’s clear, concise and above all,
common sense columns, have always been a
refreshing alternative to the right-trash pun-
ditry now being spewed by the Chronicle and
that right-wingnut Colorado rag that calls
itself the Examiner.
It is the Republican Party and their corpo-
rate communist master that are the prime per-
petrators of the push toward your so-called
socialism. We have just witnessed the most
humongous redistribution of wealth in the
history of mankind. From the middle class
into the pockets of the pusillanimous rich and
at the same time raping our treasury, while
you and your fellow travelers have been
fooled into believing that they deserve a 14
year tax break.
Obviously, you’ve never read Lenin or
Trotsky because everything you think you’re
quoting is right out of the Republican Party’s
play-by-play book. Almost every Republican
administration, beginning with and including
the Civil War, has been riddled with corrup-
tion.

There’s been a lot of violent language —
and some threatening behavior — surround-

last few years. Giffords faced irate hecklers
during 2009 town-hall meetings on health-

Other voices
Countless lives have been saved, shelters
built and jobs provided thanks to the gen-
erosity of Canadians and other aid donors in
recent years. Ottawa alone has pledged $1
billion in foreign aid between 2006 and
2012. But even so, the work of building new
lives has scarcely begun.

from the rubble in a matter of months. This
Perhaps that explains the Republican’s

Lunatics
Editor,
I want to thank you for publishing
Katherine Murray’s attack on columnist Keith
Krietman and President Obama in
“Kreitman's angry ‘untruths’” in the Jan.6
edition of the Daily Journal. It shows what
lunatics the ultra-conservatives really are. To
compare Obama with Lenin and Trotsky is
more than a stretch. So Obama and his sup-
porters are communist. Is that what Murray is
saying? Is she related to Joe McCarthy, Rush
Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Steve Savage, Ann
Coulter, Glenn Beck or Sarah Palin? Sad, but
true all the hatred generated by these people
eventually leads to such tragedies as what
recently happened in Arizona.

I am responding to Harry Roussard’s Jan.

needs a high-speed rail, we will just have to
agree to disagree. In fact, Harry’s letter
seems to admit the possibility by asking
why I didn’t suggest Las Vegas rather than
Santa Barbara as a terminus for the
Southern California route. That’s a good
idea, but population density is higher —
and hence potential ridership is higher —
along the coastal route. California could
well use high-speed rail along the routes I
suggested or even following Harry’s Los
Angeles-Las Vegas route.
My main point is not here (the
Peninsula), not along what’s on the table
now. While the final price tag is unknown,
it should certainly be less than $100 billion
for the first segment. As for providing
union jobs, again the fact is that unions are
a powerful presence on the California polit-
ical scene. They’ve already been promised
work on the Fresno-Merced “route to
nowhere.” Why not take that $4.3 billion
and use it as a down payment on trackage
that will provide jobs as well as potentially
popular routes for the state’s 37 million cit-
izens?

Insomnia
A
ll I wanted was sleep. It didn’t have
to be the sleep of champions or any
of the dozen hours of uninterrupted,
blissful slumber promised by those Tempur-
Pedic memory foam sleep numbered options
paraded out in late-night commercials.
All I wanted was not to wake up in the wee
hours, only to lay there unsuccessfully willing
myself to fall back into an alternative reality
where flying is not out of the question and the
dreamer never seems to reach a destination no
matter how hard
they run.
I did have one
tiny request — no
dreams about work.
They make me feel
like I’ve already put
in a full day long
before I check the
voice mail and e-
mail.
That aside, all I
was seeking was
some good old-
fashioned shut-eye.
But no, the sleep fairy had different plans
and kept her magic dust sprinkling for other
folks.
I’m not really sure why I even woke up
somewhere after the stroke of midnight,
frankly not that long after I’d pushed my sever-
al pillows into all the right nooks and crannies
and drifted off initially. It could have been the
realization that somewhere the 14-pound won-
der dog had managed to pirate the entire heat-
ing blanket for himself, leaving his faithful
human guardian with little more than a flannel
sheet, a comforter and a strong suspicion that
she is no longer the boss of him.
Maybe it was some back-of-the-mind worry
that I’d oversleep my alarm, miss jury duty and
be thrown in some Bulgarian prison on con-
tempt charges. Perhaps it is the sheer amount
of caffeine shoved into my body on a daily
basis needs more than a dozen hours to dissi-
pate.
In any case, why I woke up wasn’t as press-
ing as the frustration that I stayed that way.
When my eyes first fluttered open, I glanced
at the clock hoping it was near the time I need-
ed to awake. Sure the windows were dark but
it’s winter and gray, keeping sunshine an
unlikely indicator that the roosters were ready-
ing to announce the day.
But alas, there were still hours to kill. I cer-
tainly tried to kill them with more sleep. I stole
back the heater blanket. I switched out the pil-
lows. I flipped and flopped and flipped again.
Nothing.
I thought about counting sheep but that
turned into wondering why exactly we’re sup-
posed to do that. And wondering if we’re sup-
posed to count up or count down. And thinking
it was as silly a method as warm milk. Then
wondering if I had enough milk for my coffee
in the morning. And of course going back to
the thought that I wished it were morning,
properly, and that I really didn’t want to get out
of the cozy confines of my bed to face the
expected freezing temperatures of a living
room after a night with a lowered thermostat.
Whoever suggested fighting insomnia by just
getting up obviously never had a bad winter-
time utility bill.
Bills, bills. Did I finish paying all my bills,
even that parking ticket that requires a stamp?
Do I even have a stamp? Should I just commit
to a book of stamps rather than buying them
individually every time the need arises?
Ugh, am I still awake? Is it anywhere nearer
a respectable time to rise? Should I turn on the
television and watch a couple mattress
infomercials?
Somewhere between taking mental inventory
of the refrigerator and wondering why I ever
let the dog on the bed, the eyes grew heavy and
reality grew fuzzy.
And just as that happy, drowsy place showed
up with promises of dreams and few under-eye
circles, something else a little more startling
arrived — the morning alarm.

Portugal borrowed $1.6 billion at a

Analysts cautioned that it’s still possi-

Warriors take Lakers to wire, lose by five

By Janie McCauley
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
OAKLAND — Kobe Bryant scored
17 of his 39 points in the final 5:49 and
the sluggish Los Angeles Lakers rallied
late to beat the Golden State Warriors
115-110 on Wednesday night for their
sixth straight victory.
Bryant also assisted on Ron Artest’s
crucial 3-pointer with 1:55 to play.
Lamar Odom did his part to fuel the
comeback, scoring 10 straight points
during a key fourth-quarter stretch on
the way to 20 points and nine rebounds.
Lakers 115, Warriors 110
Pau Gasol added 24 points and 11
rebounds for the Lakers, who looked
uncharacteristically out of sync for
much of the game before turning it on
when it mattered for their 12th consec-
utive win over the Warriors and sixth
straight in Oakland.
Golden State’s Monta Ellis scored 38
for his 10th 30-point game of the sea-
son after missing the two previous days
of practice with the flu. But the
Warriors couldn’t hold an early 14-
point lead against the defending NBA
champions.
Andrew Bynum had 11 points and
14 rebounds for the Lakers, who played
through loud chants of “Beat L.A.!
Beat L.A.!” in the waning moments
from the sellout crowd of 19,596 at
Oracle Arena. Los Angeles pulled out
some defensive stops late after trading
baskets with the Warriors for much of
the final quarter.
Still, the Lakers received quite a push
a night after a 112-57 rout of Cleveland
in the franchise’s best defensive per-
formance of the shot clock era — a
game in which the Los Angeles starters
had to play just more than a half.
Bryant shot 13 for 21, made all 11 of
his free-throw tries, had six rebounds
and four assists as the Lakers improved
to 7-1 in the second game of back-to-
backs this season — with only seven
more on their schedule, five fewer than
they played last season in winning it all.
Dorell Wright added 27 points,
seven rebounds, four assists, three
steals and two blocked shots for the
Warriors, who nearly pulled off the
upset while kicking off a stretch with
13 of 14 games at home.
Golden State is back on its home
floor Friday against the Clippers after
losing 105-91 in Los Angeles on
Sunday — and the teams meet again
Jan. 22 at Staples Center.
Ellis clanked in a shot under pressure
as the third quarter expired, giving
Golden State a 75-69 edge heading into
the fourth. Bryant, who came in with an
impressive 26.6 career scoring average
against the Warriors in 53 total games
and 44 starts, took charge. His outburst
started on a go-ahead 3-pointer with
5:49 left to put the Lakers up 90-89.

Aragon no match for Menlo-Atherton
By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
As far as wins go, you won’t find a
more convincing one than Menlo-
Atherton’s 5-0 dissection of Aragon
Wednesday afternoon.
From whistle to whistle, the Bears
dominated the Dons, scoring two early
goals, both by Dimas Ayala, and never
looked back.
“Once the second half started, it was
game over,” said Menlo-Atherton head
coach Jacob Pickard. “Ten minutes in,
it got beyond them. And that’s what we
wanted to do. We did a good job of
shutting them down and didn’t even
give them a chance of getting back into
it.”
Credit for that goes out to a superb
Menlo-Atherton defense. It wasn’t just
the likes of William Cabral, Daniel Gil
and Kevin Martinez, who manned the
back line in a second half that saw
Aragon get off a lone shot. It was also
Aaron Oro and Gerry Cruz who pro-
vided rock solid defending in the mid-
field. Not only that, but they turned that
defense into some great offensive
chances for the Bears, especially in the
second half.
“We’ve been having problems
early,” said Cabral about his team’s
defense. “So we wanted to focus on
making sure we kept the ball in their
half, so we weren’t having to do as
much defensive work. The main thing
was having our offense hold the ball to
make it easier for the defense. Then it
was just about finding the offenses’
feet.”
A goal in the third minute helped
settle the Bears. Ayala found the net on
a play that can only be described as a
lapse in concentration for the Dons. A
short throw-in deep in the Aragon zone
found Ayala, who crept into the penal-
ty box and fired a shot that Aragon
goalkeeper Lewis Yang didn’t even
attempt to save. The goal seemed to
stun the home team.
Ayala would double his tally only
nine minutes later, this time scoring on
a marvel of a shot, again after a throw-
in and again to Yang’s far post. In
Yang’s defense, no ’keeper on any soc-
cer team could have kept that shot from
going in. The second goal appeared to
deflate Aragon, who never really
threaten the M-A goal at any point in
the game.
Down two, the Dons would start the
second half knowing they needed to
find something offensively to get them
back into the game.
But what they found was a brick
wall of a back line manned by Ayala,
who had now moved to a right back
position.
The air from the proverbial Aragon

sail was let out 10 minutes into the sec-
ond half on the first of two goals by
Edgardo Nolina. Once again, after a
MA throw-in, some miscommunica-
tion on the Aragon back line prevented
the Dons from clearing the ball from
their zone. Nolina moved into the
penalty box and skillfully place a shot
NATHAN MOLLAT / DAILY JOURNAL
into the back of the net for the 3-0 lead.
“In the preseason, this is kind of
what I warned these guys about as far
as performance-wise,” said Aragon
head coach Forrest Brazil. “If we play
like that against teams like M-A, we’re
going to suffer losses the way we did.
The two previous training sessions
THE DAILY JOURNAL
weren’t up to par and I think that car-
ried over into today’s game.”
After Nolina’s goal, things fell apart
for the Dons.
Menlo-Atherton would capitalize on
two more opportunities — one on a
corner kick executed to perfection by
Cruz and Nolina, and then on a won-
derful counter attack started in the back
by Cruz, who fed Nolina on a lovely
through ball, who carried the ball to the
Aragon end line, juked a diving keeper
and fed the sphere to a unmanned
Grant Shaffer for goal number five.
The truth is, M-A could have easily
had more, falling short on another pair
of clear chances.
As for Aragon, their offense man-
aged one shot in the second half.
“We lost to ourselves and we also
lost to M-A,” Brazil said. “And when
you play against two teams at once, it’s
hard to get anything out of a game.
Who knows? Down the road this may
have been a necessary thing for us to
go through to realize what needs to
happen in training and what level
needs to be brought to for the game.”
“We had a bad game last Friday and
coach has been telling us to step it up,”
Nolina said. “We came here as the vis-
itors and just did what we could do.
Everyone that went in did what they
had to do and stepped it up.”

Cougars rally for win ‘Beast Mode’finally in gear
By Julio Lara
DAILY JOURNAL STAFF
Things didn’t look good for the
Half Moon Bay boys’ basketball
team with three minutes left in their
Peninsula Athletic League Ocean
Division opener against Mills.
Down by eight, the Cougars had
seen a one-point lead at the end of the
third period evaporate courtesy of
Marcus Chew and a Vikings’ team
that came out red hot to start the final
quarter.
But how quickly things can
change.
Half Moon Bay, behind the play of
captain Agustin Arroyo, stormed
ahead in the game’s final minutes,
finishing on a 12-0 run to stun Mills
and get on a bus back home with a
58-53 over the host Vikings.
Arroyo led the way for the Cougars
with 17 points, including six in the
fourth quarter. His points late in the
ballgame were products of some
great defending by the guard, who
finished the night with five steals.
Chow was sensational for Mills.
He finished with a game-high 20
points.
It was a game of runs for both
teams. After finishing the first quarter
tied at 11, Half Moon Bay started the
second period on a 7-0 run, fueled by
the play of Arroyo and some big
shots by Myles Donahue. The
Vikings battled back, as they would
the entire night, and actually took at
two-point lead into halftime. For the
half, Mills would shoot 37 percent
from the field.
But the Vikings went stone cold to
start the third quarter. Mills wouldn’t
hit a shot from the field until midway
through the quarter. What kept them
close was a Half Moon Bay team that
found itself in foul trouble pretty
early in the period. Mills would only
hit one field goal in the entire third
quarter, yet found itself down only
one after going to the line nine times
— with 1:30 left in the third, the
Vikings were already in the double-
bonus.
The intermission must have done
Mills some good. They came out on
fire to start the fourth quarter behind
a slashing Chew and the outside
shooting of Phillip Rognerud. The
Vikings turned the one-point deficit
into an eight-point lead in five min-
utes left to play.
But the final, and most important
run, belonged to the Cougars this
night.
Arroyo’s steals and buckets were
the spark for their comeback, but the
guard didn’t do it alone. Andy
Simanek had a whale of a game for
the Cougars. The junior finished with
a double-double, 10 points and 10
boards — none bigger than the
rebound he pulled down in the
game’s waning seconds following a
missed free throw. Simanek would be
fouled and hit a pair of clutch freebies
to give the Cougars a little breathing
room late.

RENTON, Wash. — The run
should never have reached epic status.
New Orleans linebacker Scott
Shanle was there, shedding a missed
block and squared up on Marshawn
Lynch in his only running lane. At
best, Lynch should have gained a cou-
ple of yards to bring up a key third-
down with less than 3 1/2 minutes to
go last Saturday.
Then “Beast Mode” showed up,
and what seemed to be a nominal
short-gain suddenly became the great-
est run in Seattle Seahawks history.
“More people have been talking to
me about the run than the win,” Lynch
said.
Days after Lynch’s game-clinching,
tackle-breaking, 67-yard touchdown
against the Saints in the first round of
the NFC playoffs, the run is still being
discussed. Talk radio is full of it, ask-
ing listeners to give a name the elec-
trifying dash. YouTube has hundreds
of varieties of the film, some with
more than a half-million views in just
a handful of days. The video has been
set to the sound effects from “Super
Mario Bros.” and imitated using the
1980s video game “Tecmo Bowl.”
Heck, Lynch’s run even caused a
seismic event to be recorded by sen-
sors just outside of Qwest Field.
Suddenly the Seahawks, set to face
the Bears in the NFC divisional play-
off Sunday in Chicago, are getting a
little notoriety,
and not because
they’re sticking
around the play-
offs even with a
losing record.
“You just knew
when it hap-
pened, everybody
that was there,
Marshawn
this was really a
Lynch
unique thing that
just happened in front of us and we’re
grateful for being around it when it
happened,” coach Pete Carroll said.
When Lynch arrived in Seattle back
in October after a trade with Buffalo,
he brought along the “Beast Mode”
moniker. It was a symbol of his
rugged, run-at-all-costs style that res-
onates with fans. His ability to run
between the tackles was also the per-
fect complement that Carroll was
looking for in his run game, counter-
ing Lynch’s bruising with the edge
speed of backs Justin Forsett and
Leon Washington.
But for most of the season, Seattle’s
run game was a joke. Unable to find
any consistency with its offensive
line, Seattle averaged just 89 yards
per game in the regular season and for
much of the year was on pace to have
the worst run game in franchise histo-
ry.
Their success running started to
turn in the season finale when the
Seahawks rushed for 141 yards as a
team and Lynch rambled for 75 yards
Thursday • Jan. 13, 2011 13
after having six carries for (minus)-1
yards in the first half.
That performance was muted by
what Lynch did with just one carry
against the Saints.
“Not to take anything away from
the run, but the biggest highlight for
me was that we won the game,”
Lynch said.
Lynch already had a pretty good
game going against New Orleans
even before his now famous dash.
Even though most of the offensive
punch in this game plan called on
quarterback Matt Hasselbeck’s pass-
ing, Lynch was averaging 3.6 yards
per carry before taking a second-and-
10 handoff with about 3:37 left.
The next 15 seconds was one high-
light moment after another.
“It was ‘Beast Mode’ at its finest,”
Seattle receiver Mike Williams said.
“The most impressive thing about
the run to me is he actually scored,”
Seattle fullback Michael Robinson
said. “A lot of times you see runs like
that and he might stiff-arm the guy but
somebody comes and tackles him
eventually.”
Lynch said he’s heard from plenty
of old friends in the days since the
Seahawks upset of the Saints, a fact
he feels has gotten lost in the specter
of his electrifying run. But Lynch is
thrilled to be in the playoffs for the
first time in his career after already
being back home in Oakland by this
point in each of his first three NFL
seasons.

This is precisely the reason the PAL moved
to a three-tiered division structure last sea-
son. It was the best way to ensure competi-
tive balance and exciting games. Some
coaches preferred the previous structure of
three divisions based on geography because
it allowed teams to develop true rivalries
with their closest neighbors, which excited
fans and got them to show up for games.
Woodside coach Mike Reynoso said it’s
difficult to get Wildcat fans to drive to El
Camino on a Wednesday night. The way the
PAL is set up now, teams are constantly
changing divisions year to year, so it’s hard

to develop any kind of animosity for an
opponent when the opponent in constantly
changing.
There is also the fact that natural rivalries
won’t happen year to year. San Mateo, for
instance, won’t have a Friday quad game —
always the highlight of the basketball week
— against either of its main rivals,
Burlingame or Aragon. Since San Mateo
girls play in the Bay Division and the boys
reside in the Lake, they won’t both face their
rivals because the girls and boys teams at
Burlingame and Aragon play in the Bay.
But such is life in a 17-team league, which
is not always easy to manage. Personally, I
would sacrifice whatever benefit the previous
system had in favor of the current setup. The
whole point of the power league is to match
up teams with similar abilities to create the
best games possible. Plus, it gives teams
The Panthers could have made things a lot
easier on themselves if they just would have
maintained their aggressiveness in the second
half. Up 27-14 at halftime, the Panthers start-
ed working the clock in the third quarter. They
stopped running and instead focused on taking
as much time off the shot clock in their half-
court offense.
But there is a very thin line between work-
ing the clock and wearing down a defense,
and playing not to just guard a lead. The
Panthers crossed that line and it nearly cost
them.
“We have to work on sustaining our effort,”
Dowd said. “Woodside maintained their
aggressiveness and we didn’t.”
Last Thursday, the Jets boss said “nobody” stud-
ies like Indianapolis quarterback Peyton Manning.
Brady, Ryan said, “thinks he does” but gets more
help from Belichick than there is with Manning.
Brady acknowledged that he gets “a ton” of help
from his coach.
On Saturday night during the Patriots’ bye
week, Brady attended the Broadway play

Vince Lombardi and missed part of the Jets’17-16
playoff win over the Colts on television. Ryan said
on Monday, with a grin, that “Manning would

hope they can win a division title. In years
past, Capuchino’s win over Hillsdale would
be a blip on the radar, knowing the Mustangs
would still have two games against Aragon,
Mills and Burlingame — a daunting task.
But after winning their opener, the
Mustangs are in the thick of a playoff race
for the Lake Division title. For kids that may
never play basketball after graduating high
school, why not give them some hope this
could be their year?
Mills boys’ coach Rick Hanson said it best
when he said the seniors on his team have
only one senior year. Hanson will be back
for years to come. Why not give the players
the best chance possible to enjoy high school
hoops?

A quick perusal of the San Mateo girls’
basketball roster shows a new name for a
Woodside, on the other hand, will be kick-
ing itself for not getting its offense going
sooner. When a team depends on its defense to
kick start its offense, it’s hard to do so when a
team shoots only 27 percent from the field in
the first half — as the Wildcats did. A team
can’t press and trap in transition and needs to
make baskets to make that kind of defense
effective. It worked in the fourth quarter
because the Wildcats scored nearly as many
points in the final eight minutes, 20, as they
did through the first three quarters (24).
“I thought we executed (our offense) great,”
Reynoso said. “It just seemed like there was a
lid on the basket.”
Woodside was led by Sam Kelley’s 15
He also said that day that Brady “took a shot at
me by his antics on the field.” Did he mean Brady
pointed at the Jets’ sideline or looked at them after
scoring? “I don’t like seeing that; nobody does. No
Jet fan likes to see that. And I know he can’t wait
to do it. He’s not going to say anything publicly,”
Ryan said.
He’s right about that.
“It’s certainly not my intent. I’m sure there’s
50,000 cameras on the game. If I did that I’m sure
they’d show it,” Brady said, sounding innocent. “I
don’t think I’ve ever pointed at anybody. That’s not
my style.”

Simpson, back from a month-long hiatus,
made his first appearance of the new year and
scored 12.
“The resiliency we showed in the fourth
quarter was tremendous,” Reynoso said.
Even though two of the Bay Division
favorites met in the first game of the league
season, Dowd said his team did not come out
with any extra motivation to announce its
presence with authority. With only 10 league
games, every one of them is big, Dowd said.
“For a league opener, to get out to that big
lead was good,” Dowd said. “Every game is a
statement. This game means the same as the
others.”
Even if he did rub it in by gesturing to the New
York sideline after scoring during a 45-3 win Dec.
6, it could have been prevented — by the Jets
themselves.

him up there last time,” Jets linebacker Jason
Taylor said. “I come from the school of thought
where if you don’t want someone to celebrate or
be excited or say something to you or do some-
thing that you might perceive as offensive, then
don’t let them score.”
Cromartie said he hopes Brady tries to pick on
him Sunday for his remark.

Introductions in order at Sony Open
By Doug Ferguson

HONOLULU — Maui is a
reunion of winners. Oahu is more of
a meet-and-greet.
The Sony Open is the first full-
field event of the PGA Tour, a time
filled with as much optimism as
curiosity. It is not unusual to see vet-
erans looking at names on the golf
bags to figure out who some of these
guys are. There are 26 rookies at
Waialae, 10 of them who have never
teed it up in any PGA Tour event.
“You walk on that range and you
feel like you’re on a different tour,”
Ernie Els said.
Paul Goydos, starting his 19th year
on tour, mentioned that he had
already met three players in the din-
ing room.
Did they know him?
“Yeah, I think so,” Goydos said.
“But when they say, ’My dad loves

you’re in deep trouble.”

he got back to the first fairway,
another player was right ahead of
him. It was 20-year-old Bio Kim, the
youngest player on tour this year,
and among those who had never
competed in a PGA Tour event.
Goydos introduced himself, and
jokingly said, “I’m sure his dad has
seen me play.” Kim, a South Korean
who once lived in Irvine, Calif., for
five years as a teenager, was asked if
he knew anything about Goydos.
“You shot 59,” he said to him with
a smile.
“At least I’m known for one
thing,” said Goydos, who hit golf’s
magic number at the John Deere
Classic last year.
Such introductions are part of the
charm of the Sony Open, a tourna-
ment that brings together veterans
and rookies, old and new. The field

he’s not even the oldest player at

“Tonight wasn’t about us being bad,”
Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said.

Florida State (12-5, 2-1 Atlantic Coast

off the defending national champions.

Section and earned a spot in the field.
The rookies include Joseph
Bramlett, a Stanford graduate who
made it through Q-school on his first
try and became the first player of
black heritage since Tiger Woods to
join the PGA Tour. There’s Keegan
Bradley, the nephew of LPGA Tour
star Pat Bradley, a pair of
Nationwide Tour grads in Jamie
Lovemark and Kevin Chappell.
This is the time to dream big.
Bramlett, who qualified for the
U.S. Open last summer, knows he
has never had any success on the
PGA Tour. He also has never experi-
enced any prolonged failure, which
allows for such high hopes.

“We came together tonight,”

Furyk had played four times
before he got his PGA Tour card, and
he remembers starting his rookie
season in 1994 at the Sony Open. His
father was with him and stepped
away when Furyk took his spot on
the practice range. Facing a hard
Kona wind, into this face and blow-
ing to the left, he took out a sand
wedge and his first shot fat.
“I blew all this dirt and sand up in
the air and it just coated the guy next
to me, almost like I could hear it hit-
ting him,” Furyk said. “I looked over
to see who was behind me, and it
was Lanny Wadkins.”
Another shot, same result.
Furyk tried his best to make light
of the situation, no matter how mor-
tified he was.
“I said, ’I guess I’ll aim a little far-
ther right on the next one,”’ Furyk
said. “He was over his ball, and he

also featured Rickie Fowler.
Of the American rookies last year,
the only guy who won a tournament
was Derek Lamely in Puerto Rico,
an opposite-field event. Then again,
no one paid much attention to Ben
Curtis in 2003 in his rookie year until
he was holding the claret jug.

The kitchen table: Anatomy of a metaphor Latest toolbox
By Ted Anthony
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

DENVER — The rooms of the modern

American household have always crept into
campaigns. Politics makes strange bedfel-
lows, for one. The living-room war ended
Lyndon Johnson’s political career. And every-
one keeps saying the economy’s headed for
the toilet.
Rarely, however, do you hear about a partic-
ular part of a particular room over and over —
until this past week. For the Democrats, sud-
denly it’s all about the kitchen and its center-
piece, the kitchen table, which is claiming an
extended moment in the spotlight.
In speech after speech, interview after inter-
view, the nation’s most powerful Democratic
politicians invoked the commonplace kitchen
table as the touchstone for modern politics —
the vantage point from which the ordinary
American family watches, wonders and wor-
ries.
In short, the perfect opening for politicians
to invite themselves in.
“Republican mismanagement has really hit
home around the kitchen table,” Democratic
National Committee Treasurer Andrew Tobias
said. “At kitchen tables across Ohio and the
heartland, mothers and fathers are worried,”
Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland said. And from
Missouri Sen. Claire McCaskill: “Tonight,
families are balancing checkbooks at kitchen
tables, trying to stay on budget.”
Joe Biden did it, accepting the vice presi-
dential nomination Wednesday night. “I take
the train home to Wilmington, sometimes very
late. As I look out the window at the homes we
pass, I can almost hear what they’re talking
about at the kitchen table after they put the
kids to bed.”
The living-room war ended Lyndon Johnson’s political career.And everyone keeps saying the
economy’s headed for the toilet.So the question must be asked:What on Earth is up with the
kitchen table?
The question must be asked: What on Earth
is up with the kitchen table?
“It’s a wonderful image. It’s an image that
stays with you because it mirrors reality,” says
Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano, a Democrat.
“In my kitchen, that’s where I pay my bills,”
she says, and in a bad economy “it resonates
with a lot of people.”
It is a potent metaphor that evokes images
of private time, nesting and the process of
managing a household — “the symbol of all

must-have? A
smart phone
By Melissa Kossler Dutton
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Home improvement and design enthusiasts
can add a versatile tool to their toolbox: a
phone.
Software programs available for cell phones
can help homeowners with everything from
selecting paint colors to finding artwork to
determining their favorite decorating style.
Mark English, a San Francisco architect,
uses an application on his cell phone to help
clients visualize projects and plans. English
creates “idea books,” or files of images, for his
clients to review with Houzz, a free phone app
that contains more than 70,000 photos of
rooms, homes and landscape projects. Having
the images to refer to helps clients articulate
more clearly their likes and dislikes, he said.
“We can develop a language where we all
know what these adjectives mean,” he said.
“We get to that point where we know what the
goal is much more quickly.”
Many apps are meant to provide inspiration
for people looking to redecorate. The Dream
Home app allows users to search thousands of
photos sorted by style, room and color. The
app, which ranges in price from $1.99 to
$4.99, is like having thousands of design mag-
azines at your fingertips, said Peter Melnikov,
vice president of Apalon, the company that
created it.

involves stripping off old, browned leaves
from the lower portion of the ever-lengthen-
ing narrow part of the stem. One year I even
trimmed back the browned tips of otherwise
healthy leaves.
And the bulbous base of my plant did final-
ly expand enough to crack the clay pot in
which it had resided for almost two decades.
A slightly bigger pot, with fresh potting soil
amended for better drainage with extra perlite
or sand, should hold the plant for another
decade or more.
Under ideal conditions, such as in its native
habitat of tropical Mexico, ponytail palm
grows 30 feet high. This presents a problem
when it is grown as a houseplant. Lop the
stem back and you’ve lopped off the leaves
also. The plant resprouts, even branches,
which can look nice and does lower the
height. Sprouts can appear almost anywhere,
even popping out of the swollen base.
But that bulbous base keeps expanding, and
there’s no way to prune that. In time, the base
could expand to where its diameter would be
measured in feet!
My solution to this problem is to water and
fertilize infrequently, and not give the plant
much light. As a result, it hardly grows.
Nonetheless, it keeps looking pretty enough
and is especially easy to care for.
If you’re new to photo art, how should you
decide what to buy?
“Start with prints and art books,” Bekman
says. “It’s a great way to figure out what you
like. Don’t be shy about orienting yourself
through something that already interests you:
animals, sports, books, nature or even a spe-
cific color.” Inexpensive photo art posters and
some limited editions can also be found on
sites like art.com and allposters.com.
Organized by subject, each site offers work by
many famous photographers.
The New York Times recently invited
Jonathan Adler, Kelly Wearstler, Thom
Felicia, Laura Kirar and Vicente Wolf to
explore the paper’s photo archives; their
favorites can now be purchased online.
Felicia’s picks include a group of young
swimmers on a summer dock. “I love how the
photographer captures the composition of sky,
clouds, and the sliver of land and water. This
image evokes an appreciation of friendship to
me, and our connection with nature. It cre-
atively (elevates) what could be a typical land-
scape, and personifies much of what I love in
photography.”

received a Notice of Trustee’s Sale stating her
home would be sold at a public sale.
The lien on Reade’s property will be com-
pletely removed and she will have no obliga-
tion under the loan which currently exceeds
$420,000, according to her attorneys.
Reade’s husband died in 1990 and she has
little contact with any other family, Okcu
said. She is also visually impaired.
Tupoufutuna indicated Reade had a pet-sit-
ting business and was earning about $3,500 a
month on loan documents, according to her
attorneys.
Reade hired Tupoufutuna in 2006 to do
some repair work to her home. Work on the
home extended for months in which time the
victim and suspect developed a close fiduci-
ary relationship, according to court docu-
ments filed with San Mateo County Superior
Court.
Reade eventually named Tupoufutuna her
executor and sole beneficiary in her will.
“Tupoufutuna was aware of Pauline

Once the perfect piece of art is located, a

Bostitch offers a free app that turns iPhones
into picture levelers.
The Good Housekeeping app offers advice
on a variety of issues ranging from “how to
remove mustard stains” to “inspiration for a
bathroom renovation,” said Sara Lyle, the mag-
azine’s lifestyle director.
Good Housekeeping launched its free app
(rather than dine), but guests and strangers are
typically received elsewhere.
“You don’t invite the stranger into the
kitchen unless you really like them. The living
room is preserved for that,” says Susan
Strasser, author of “Never Done: A History of
American Housework.”
In the republic’s early days, when most
houses had only a few rooms, the kitchen was
an intimate gathering place. But many of the
dominant images of postwar America, with its
newfound prosperity, showed families gather-
ing in the living room or den.
Now, though, demographics are shift-
ing again. Many households have two
working parents, and the kitchen table —
and its younger sibling, the kitchen island
— have become family meeting places.
Some companies have even marketed
sophistication regarding real estate matters
and her vulnerability given her advanced age,
and given that she had no close relatives or
contacts who would look after her. Defendant
Tupoufutuna abused the trust Reade placed in
him, and by fraud, undue influence and for-
gery gained control of Pauline Reade’s finan-
cial affairs,” according to court documents.
Reade finally asked a neighbor to help her
review her bills. Shortly thereafter, she con-
tacted the Pacifica Police Department.
Tupoufutuna allegedly had Reade sign more
than 100 checks between 2006 and 2008.
With Reade’s advanced age, Tupoufutuna
must avoid arrest or a trial before the woman
dies. If Reade were to die before the suspect
is brought to court, charges would have to be
dropped, according to the District Attorney’s
Office.
“Ms. Reade is a poster child for elder
abuse. Tragically, there are hundreds of other
similar cases, but the resources needed to
fight these cases are simply not there. In this
case, the result we achieved will allow Ms.

yourselfers can take their phone with them to
the store when shopping for materials for a

After looking through photos on the Houzz
app, Sharon Glazer of Baltimore decided her
style lies somewhere between contemporary
and modern, with a touch of Mediterranean
flair. Glazer, who is house hunting, uses the app
to organize her ideas for decorating her next
home. She has even created files to share with
a designer once she buys a house.
“We’re trying to design out what we’re going

before we physically move,” she said.
kitchen-table computers.
“The kitchen table has evolved. It’s become
multifunctional,” says Kristi Hoffman, who
teaches about the American family at
Roanoke College in Salem, Va. “Many people
don’t make as formal meals anymore. So the
kitchen table becomes a place where a lot
does happen.”
Because of that, kitchens are getting bigger.
In recent years, buyers of new homes have
been looking for outsized kitchens and enor-
mous tables for them that can function as both
family eating station, workspace and storage
area for paperwork or toys.
“If you’re not in the kitchen, you’re going to
miss out,” says Erich Gaukel, editor of
Renovation Style magazine. “The kitchen
itself is really becoming a living room in
American homes.”

Reade received a Notice of Trustee’s Sale in

The initial lender on the loan was Paul
Financial, according to Okcu. Within 30 days

The loan was sold several times, Okcu said.

That makes it the perfect terrain for a polit-
ical battle in a country where the soul of the
American family — and who can lay claim to
it — is one of the parties’ most enduring
fights.
It was no coincidence that, in 1994, when
interest groups wanted to sink the Clinton
administration’s health-care plan, its notori-
ous “Harry and Louise” video took place at a
kitchen table — as does a new chapter with
the same actors that was released earlier this
month.
Finally, the kitchen table is an icon of
regularness — common ground we can all
share. Well, most of us: Joe Biden ham-
mered that home on his first appearance
as Barack Obama’s running mate, using
the table as a launching pad for salvos
against John McCain.

OBAMA
Continued from page 1
the arena.
Speaking at a memorial at the
University of Arizona, Obama bluntly
conceded that there is no way to know
what triggered the shooting rampage that
left six people dead, 13 others wounded
and the nation shaken. He tried instead to
leave indelible memories of the people
who were gunned down and to rally the
country to use the moment as a reflection
on the nation’s behavior and compassion.
“I believe we can be better,” Obama
said to a capacity crowd in the university’s
basketball arena — and to countless oth-
ers watching around the country.
“Those who died here, those who saved
lives here — they help me believe,” the
president said. “We may not be able to
stop all evil in the world, but I know that
how we treat one another is entirely up to
us.”
In crafting his comments, Obama clear-
ly sought a turning point in the raw debate
that has defined national politics.
After offering personal accounts of every
person who died, he challenged anyone
listening to think of how to honor their
memories, and he was not shy about offer-
ing direction. He admonished against any
instinct to point blame or to drift into
political pettiness or to latch onto simple
explanations that may have no merit.
“At a time when our discourse has
become so sharply polarized — at a time
when we are far too eager to lay the blame
for all that ails the world at the feet of
those who think differently than we do —
it’s important for us to pause for a moment
and make sure that we are talking with
each other in a way that heals, not a way
that wounds,” the president said.
The shooting happened as Giffords, a
ZHAN
Continued from page 1
Leroy Tripette, external affairs manag-
er for Intel who was on hand for yester-
day’s award presentation, explained the
company looks for students doing
research beyond traditional labs.
In the case of Zhan, he’s an independ-
ent student who is excited, said Tripette.
Zhan’s mom, Joyce Lee, was proud of
her son’s achievement and said the idea
to enter came from a friend in the school
orchestra. It’s been a two-year project.
Class assignments provided Zhan an
opportunity to mix what he was learning
with his research.
Andrea Gould, who had Zhan in her
advanced placement statistics class last
year, added he used data he collected for
her class.
Advanced placement biology teacher
Katie Ward, who had Zhan as a student
sophomore year, explained how the
young scientist started to see a connec-
tion between math and science.
“Math is the language of science. He
started to wonder, ‘how do you quantify
things in science? What are the
options?’” she said, adding the project
was the result of his questions being
answered.
Zhan is a busy student. He’s on the
CANO
Continued from page 1
San Francisco Dec. 30 and faces a felony
charge of communicating with a minor
with the intent to commit a sex act, Fein
said. He also faces misdemeanor charges
of committing a lewd act in public and
false imprisonment.
The 16-year-old was allegedly escort-
ed to a control room on a northbound
train in Palo Alto when Cano solicited
the victim for sex in lieu of issuing a
citation, according to Caltrain. The vic-
three-term Democrat who represents
southern Arizona, was holding a commu-
nity outreach event in a Tucson shopping
center parking lot Saturday. A gunman
shot her in the head and worked his way
down the line of people waiting to talk
with her, law enforcement officials said.
The attack ended when bystanders tackled
the man, Jared Lee Loughner, 22, who is
in custody.
Obama’s speech, by turns somber and
hopeful, at times took on the tone of an
exuberant pep rally as he heralded the
men who wrestled the gunman to the
ground, the woman who grabbed the
shooter’s ammunition, the doctors and
nurses who treated the injured, the intern
who rushed to Giffords’ aid. The crowd
erupted in multiple standing ovations as
each was singled out for praise.
Memories of the six people killed dom-
inated much of Obama’s speech. The
president, for example, recalled how fed-
eral Judge John Roll was on his way from
attending Mass when he stopped to say
hello to Giffords and was gunned down;
Dorothy Morris, shielded by her husband,
but killed nonetheless; and Phyllis
Schneck, a Republican who took a shine
to Giffords, a Democrat, and wanted to
student newspaper, Aragon Outlook, and
mock trial team, participates in the
Model Congress and Model United
Nations, plays the cello, composed
music for the school orchestra, plays in
the Peninsula Youth Orchestra and has
served on the student council for four
years, this year as class treasurer. Zhan
was accepted early action to Yale
University where he plans to study
chemical engineering.
“He’s one of the nicest young men
here. We couldn’t be more thrilled or
honored,” said Aragon Principal Patricia
Kurtz.
Kurtz went on to describe Zhan as the
kind of student who will be in the library
and simply start tutoring peers.
Scott Laurence, superintendent of the
San Mateo Union High School District,
was impressed by Zhan’s independent
work.
“He’s been doing this on his own.
That’s impressive. Ten to 15 years from
now he’ll be doing work that changes
everything and we’ll be saying we knew
him when,” he said.
School board Trustee Dave Pine was
excited by the honor.
“It’s a remarkable achievement. It’s
wonderful to celebrate academic
achievement. ... I believe the future of
our country rests on extraordinarily gift-
ed students,” he said.
Zhan was one of only 41 semifinalists
from California, 26 of which were from
tim quickly fled the suspect and called
transit police immediately.
“He used his position of authority to
get the victims in vulnerable positions,”
Fein said.
The most recent incident occurred in
Palo Alto and the Santa Clara County
District Attorney’s Office will prosecute
the case.
The adult victim first made an anony-
mous complaint but decided to cooper-
ate with prosecutors when the minor was
victimized, according to Caltrain.
The arrest is the result of an investiga-
tion by the San Mateo County Sheriff’s
Office Transit Police Bureau.

know her better. He spoke at length
of 9-year-old Christina Taylor Green, the
only girl on her Little League team, who
often said she wanted to be the first
woman to play in the major leagues. She
had just been elected to the student coun-
cil at her elementary school and had an
emerging interest in public service.
“I want us to live up to her expectations.
I want our democracy to be as good as she
imagined it,” Obama said. The little girl
was born on Sept. 11, 2001, and had been
featured in a book about 50 babies born
that day. The inscriptions near her photo
spoke of wishes for a happy child’s life,
including splashing in puddles.
Said Obama: “If there are rain puddles
in heaven, Christina is jumping in them
today.”
Obama hit an emotional high point
when he told of Giffords opening her eyes
for the first time not long after his visit to
her bedside.
“Gabby opened her eyes, so I can tell
you: She knows we are here, she knows
we love her, and she knows that we are
rooting for her through what is undoubt-
edly going to be a difficult journey,”
Obama said. The announcement drew
wild cheers from the crowd.
As finger-pointing emerged in
Washington and beyond over whether
harsh political rhetoric played a role in
creating motivation for the attack, Obama
sought to calm the rhetoric.
“Bad things happen,” he said, “and we
must guard against simple explanations in
the aftermath.”
He spoke of decency and goodness,
declaring: “The forces that divide us are
not as strong as those that unite us.”
Obama spoke to a crowd of more than
13,000 in the arena and thousands more
listened on from an overflow area in the
football stadium. About a mile away, at
University Medical Center, Giffords lay
fighting for her life. Other victims also
remained there hospitalized.
the Bay Area. Forty of the 300 semifi-
nalists will be named finalists Jan. 26.
Reaching the next level includes an all-
expenses paid trip to Washington, D.C.
for a week-long event in March. During
the trip, students will compete for a
$100,000 grand prize by presenting their
research. Each finalist will receive at
least $7,500 and a new laptop powered
by Intel. Top finalists will be selected
based on rigorous judging sessions
while in Washington, D.C. and
announced during March 15.
The last San Mateo County student to
be recognized by Intel was Menlo-
Atherton High School senior Julia
Ransohoff in 2009. Ransohoff’s project
was “The Gender Divide: Does Donor
Gender Matter for Mesenchymal Stem
Cell Transplantation?” She used stem
cells from bone marrow from male and
female mice to see if the gender from
which the cells came made a difference.
She hypothesized that female cells
would do better since females, in gener-
al, have better heart health. However,
female cells were not as successful as
male cells.
Ransohoff made it to the finals.
Prior to that, a student was nominated
during the 2001-02 school year.

TO ALL THOSE
CONSIDERING
A SALES CAREER
We welcome you to Join the Family
When we say "join the family," we really mean it. It's not just corporate doublespeak designed to
hide layers of bureaucracy and an out of town ownership that treats you like a number.
It means working with a locally-owned business with roots in the community.
The San Mateo Daily Journal is seeking sales pros to join our team. We're looking for men and women
with strong work ethics and unbeatable positive attitudes.
As an account executive with the Daily Journal, your goal will be to help other businesses succeed
while achieving a high level of financial and business success using the following tools:
-- The San Mateo Daily Journal's suite of print advertising, inserts, special sections, and sponsorships
-- smdailyjournal.com online advertising
-- DJ Designer graphic design and marketing services
-- And more to come
Some sales experience is required. Newspaper experience is useful, but not mandatory.
College degree is helpful, but not required.
If any of this sounds good, send us a resume and let's talk.
We want to grow our family. Maybe with you.
