Smoking cessation is possible.
Just ask those who first put down their cigarettes, pipes or smokeless tobacco for one day-as part of the annual Great American Smokeout event-and then never picked up the habit again.
This year's Great American Smokeout will be held Thursday, and local organizations are helping to encourage area smokers to kick the habit.
Selby General Hospital and two local Wendy's restaurants have joined forces to celebrate the event in Belpre and Marietta.
"Since the Great American Smokeout is a nationally recognized event, it's a good opportunity to promote programming and focus on positive health choices like quitting or reducing smoking," said Stephanie Davis, Washington County Tobacco Prevention Project program manager.
"Small steps are the best way to make it to a big change in your life," she said. "(With this event), you can take a day and not use tobacco and see what it's like."

Tobacco-related statistics
Approximately 45 million U.S. adults (20.8 percent of the population) smoke, and about 23 percent of U.S. high school students smoke.
Life expectancy for long-term smokers is approximately 14 years shorter than for nonsmokers.
Smoking is linked to 30 percent of all cancer deaths and upwards of 87 percent of lung cancer deaths in the U.S. today.
Smokeless tobacco increases the risk of cancer of the cheek and gums by nearly 50 percent for users.

If you go
What: Local event celebrating the Great American Smokeout.
When: 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Thursday.
Where: Marietta Wendy's, 105 Pike St.; Belpre Wendy's, 1010 Washington Blvd.
Those turning in their cigarettes or smokeless tobacco (snuff, spit or dip) receive a coupon for a free combo meal (a $6 value).
Within 20 minutes of smoking that last cigarette, the body's heart rate and blood pressure drop to normal, as do the temperature of hands and feet, according to online information from the University of Illinois Springfield's health services.
Those visiting the Marietta Wendy's at 105 Pike St. or the Belpre Wendy's at 1010 Washington Blvd. from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. on Thursday can turn in their cigarettes or smokeless tobacco (snuff, spit or dip), and receive a coupon for a free combo meal (a $6 value).
"Wendy's is providing the incentive portion" of the event, Davis said.
"They're aware of the (smoking cessation) situation, and they want to help," she added.
Davis credited Ray Blackburn, owner of the two local Wendy's restaurants, with having a personal health-oriented outlook that he extends into area communities.
"It's nice to see somebody who is involved with giving back to the community," she added.
On Great American Smokeout day, five to seven students from Belpre Elementary School's Right Choice Club will be at the Belpre Wendy's with signs encouraging participants to stop using tobacco products.
"It's important to educate (children) on the effects of tobacco use and what it can do to your body," said Jeff Simoniette, Belpre Wendy's general manager, who has three sons ages 16 and under.
For Scott Miller, Belpre Elementary School's elementary guidance counselor, the Great American Smokeout event is a chance for the students involved to take a leadership role.
"Sometimes it takes asking someone to stop doing something," he said. "Not just sitting, but doing the asking."
And there's another reason for getting elementary school children involved, Davis noted.
"In this area, we see children as young as third grade that try tobacco," she added. "That's typical when they're exposed to making that choice. Kids are curious."
By participating in the Great American Smokeout event, "You can get an early impact on children," said Davis.
Simoniette had a message for local smokers interested in quitting for a day.
"If you want to make an attempt at this, come in and turn your cigarettes in and eat on the house," he said. "We wish you good luck in getting out of the tobacco habit."
For more information on quitting resources, call the Washington County Tobacco Prevention Project, 374-2229, or the Ohio Tobacco Quit Line, (800) QUIT-NOW.

Twitter Loses Its Mind Over Kim Kardashian's Instagram Pic
Kim Kardashian put her donk on blizzy blast last night on Instagram. Kanye reacted by saying he was running home to maybe make another baby. Well, he wasn't the only person to lose his mind. Everyone else did, too and boy it was pretty crazy.

Harvest is in full swing around California, and in a little corner of the Livermore Valley, that means a flock of sheep is busier than usual.
The 80 sheep grazing Tenuta Vineyards are not stomping grapes (purple fleece -- wouldn't that be a sight!). They are helping Tenuta owner and winemaker Nancy Tenuta remove weeds in her 14-acre estate vineyard of pinot noir and chardonnay grapes, just in time for the winery's 10th anniversary.
The mini sheep, a heritage English breed short enough to pass under the vineyard's irrigation drip line, replace chemicals and tractors in the vineyard and help cut down on air and noise pollution as well as the use of fossil fuels.
The practice isn't new. Vintners who farm organically and biodynamically regularly host furry weed munchers. But for someone like Tenuta, a former stock trader who farms commercially, it's a nice way to be a little green.
To hire the sheep, which belong to Livermore rancher Allison Batteate, Tenuta applied for a grant through the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Environmental Quality Incentives Program, which provides assistance to agricultural producers who want to implement conservation practices.
Last year, the program became available to vineyard owners, says Batteate. It takes 15 sheep a week to clean up an acre of vineyard, she says.
"It is labor-intensive, but they don't charge," Batteate says. "And they distribute free fertilizer."
To show her thanks, Tenuta treated her flock to a spa day when they reported for crush last Sunday. Local sheep shearer Russ Duguid sheared their woolly fleece and gave them proper mani-pedis, or hoof trims.
The shearing helps protect their wool from stickers, like foxtails, that are found in weeds and other unwanted vegetation.
"They'll be with me for six months," Tenuta says. "We want to take good care of them."

Which sex is the worst about washing up? Why is it so important? We've got the dirty truth on how and when to wash your hands.
Gene Mapping for Healthy People No 'Crystal Ball'
April 2, 2012 (Chicago) -- Mapping a person's whole genome cannot, for the most part, accurately predict the medical problems in a healthy person's future, a new study suggests.
As the price of full-genome mapping comes down, many healthy people are wondering if it's worth their while to see if they can find any future health problems tucked away in their DNA. According to this study, they may want to save their money.
This doesn't mean gene mapping is not valuable. Mapping the DNA of individuals has led to a new understanding of many diseases and led to many new treatments. And in some families with strong histories of cancer or another disease, it can be extremely informative, says researcher Bert Vogelstein, MD, professor of oncology at the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center.
In general, though, gene mapping "is not a crystal ball. A fortune teller who uses [gene mapping] to predict a person's risk of disease would go out of business," he tells WebMD.
The findings were presented here at the annual meeting of the Association for Cancer Research and published online in the journal Science Translational Medicine.
Gene Mapping Not Always Informative
Gene mapping, or whole-genome sequencing, catalogs all of the genes that a person inherits from each parent, looking for alterations in DNA that can affect susceptibility to cancer and other diseases.
Using data on 24 diseases from more than 50,000 identical twins in five countries, Vogelstein and colleagues analyzed the power of sequencing to determine an individual's risk of disease.
Results showed that for 23 of the 24 diseases, most people would get a negative result from a whole-genome scan, suggesting their lifetime risk of the disease is low.
But that could mean their risk is only slightly lower than that of the general population, which could be substantial, Vogelstein says. "A negative test is not a free pass," he says.
Gene mapping could theoretically identify three-fourths of people who may develop four of the 24 diseases studied -- heart disease in men, autoimmune thyroid disease, type 1 diabetes, and Alzheimer's disease, the analysis showed.

It is hard to imagine a more heart-breaking defeat. Down to 14 men for the last hour, and having lost our cornerstone on the tighthead after only 10 minutes, Wales had no right to be in this match at all; and yet we were. Thanks to a remarkable display from the Welsh, and a remarkably negative approach from the French, we spent the last 20 minutes of the game a single point behind – and that, of course, is where the real heart-break was. We had no right to be so close – but having got there against all the odds, we had opportunity after opportunity to steal the victory, and simply could not do it. Attacking lineout after attacking lineout was thrown away, kicks at goal hit the woodwork or fell inches short, drop goal attempts went badly wrong or simply didn't happen, and the final whistle brought an unlikely dream to a bitter end.
It is hard to imagine a more heart-breaking defeat; and yet heart-break should not be, must not be, the legacy we take from this World Cup. There is no glory in defeat. There is, however, a glory that defeat can not extinguish: the glory of finding your limits and being pushed beyond them, of refusing to break however shattering the blow, of discovering that you have more to give than anyone else imagined. This Welsh team has much of that glory already, and will win more in their response to this defeat, in their performance next week, in their performances in the months and years ahead. It takes the raging, vicious heat of magma to make diamonds – this defeat is surely painful enough to match that heat, and this Welsh squad is full of players who have the strength to become diamonds.
Adversity shows us who we really are. We will see that in how these players respond; but it is every bit as true of us as supporters, as people. We had seen what our team could produce, we had dared to dream, and those dreams have been trampled in the mud of Eden Park. It would be easy to blame the referee, to blame the fickle hand of luck, to howl against the fleeting nature of sporting opportunity – and yet that is not what we should do.
No. Instead, we should ask ourselves, ask each other, as we sit over our tasteless pints, why it is that we watch rugby, and why it is that we care. The answers should be clear. We watch it because it is the pinnacle of sport; because it marries the brutal with the poetic, marries passion with analysis, marries a dozen and more different contests in a single match. We care because it expresses something of our lives; of adversity, of triumph and disaster, of the fascinating complexities that being Welsh involves.
Those answers should help us see how this adversity will reveal us to ourselves. Perhaps ironically for a Welsh supporter, it was an Englishman (but qualified by birth to play for India) who said it best of all: 'If you can meet with triumph and disaster, and treat those two imposters just the same.' And there's the truth of it – triumph is an imposter, disaster is an imposter. Neither is real. Reality is the journey, not the temporary stations that we mistake for destinations. Reality is the glory of the struggle, the glory of getting back on your feet every time you are knocked down, the glory of reaching further than you think you can, the glory of life itself.
These young men of ours, these sons and brothers, have wrestled with that glory. They have reached past their own limits time and again, and they have represented us to the world as well as we could possibly have hoped. They deserve our respect and admiration; but more than that, they deserve that we should be inspired by them, and that we should collectively set our own sights higher in recognition of their endeavours.
So drink those pints of bitter, people of Wales – and then when the sun rises again, shake off your headaches and do whatever you do best a little bit better. Achieve more, laugh more, help others more, love more, live more – and make the legacy of this Welsh team and this World Cup defeat a ripple effect that gives us all a taste of glory. Every single person in Wales who was watching the game was knocked to the ground by the final whistle – let every single one of us get back up again, wipe the blood away, and aim a little higher.

News 12 First at Five / Wednesday, Aug. 22, 2012
GROVETOWN, Ga. -- A backyard pool on Pauline Street became a crime scene on Tuesday after 3-year-old Raydin Holbrooks was found under the water.
"When we arrived, obviously a lot of people were in panic. There was CPR being performed on the little child. EMS arrived and transported the child to Doctors Hospital where she was pronounced dead," explained Columbia County Sheriff's Cpt. Steve Morris.
Somehow the toddler made her way from the home near the beginning of Pauline Street to the end of the road and then all the way past the neighbor's gate and into the pool.
"We're not exactly sure what route she took. If she went by road, it's approximately a half a mile," Morris said. "If that's the case, then the child was missing for at least a half and hour, maybe up to an hour."
It's a timeline they're working to break down.
"That's one of many things we're taking a look at to determine how long she was missing, how did she get there, what route she took -- so we're looking at it all from beginning to end," Morris said.
Negligence charges could be filed in the death.
"The child's aunt, which is also the guardian in this case, the aunt's daughter and daughter's boyfriend were in the home. As far as charges, that's yet to be determined," Morris said.
It's an innocent death that even affects these investigators.
"So preventable. That's what makes it difficult," he said.
Investigators are waiting on the autopsy results before they move forward.
One of many theories is that Raydin followed a dog to the property.
We spoke with the pool's owner. She was very upset and heartbroken. She says she works with children every day and couldn't go to work Wednesday. She told me they've had the pool for 25 years and are now planning to add cameras to their property.

Staff writers
SAN JOSE -- Whenever touring black high school seniors consider the sprawling San Jose State University campus, they are impressed by the main library named for the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and by the majestic statue depicting alums Tommie Smith and John Carlos, raising their fists in the Black Power salute on the medal stand at the 1968 Olympics.
"Look at this," is what an awed Zhane Gay, now a sophomore health science major, thought when she saw the 20-foot-high sculpture on her visit from Southern California. Like so many others, she decided, "This is where I need to be."
But the recent turmoil over a racial bullying scandal has rattled the campus, and many black students are questioning how a university with these outward symbols of diversity leaves so many of them feeling isolated and lost inside.
In fact, blacks make up a paltry 4 percent of all students at San Jose State. Their graduation rate, 36 percent, is the lowest of all major ethnic groups at the school, a pattern repeated throughout the state. Only 3 percent of professors are black, and the already diminished African-American Studies program is under threat of elimination as a stand-alone department.
Many students like the school and its appearance of diversity, but are nettled by the disparate pathways of black transfer students, freshmen and upperclassmen. Student leaders say they need gathering places -- such as an African American-themed floor in the dorms and a student center -- to ensure social fusion and academic support.
"I think a lot of people think black students just want to segregate ourselves," said Gay. "We don't want that. We want the diversity, but we also want that inclusive space, too."
Their dissatisfaction grew a year ago when a columnist in the student newspaper, the Spartan Daily, argued that Black History Month was pointless.
Then, late last year, four white students were indicted on charges of committing hate crimes against a black freshman resident in their dorm suite. The February death of a black freshman in his dorm room, ruled a suicide, was -- on its own -- mysterious and deeply sad for black students.
As new black students sink into "a muted sense of being," said San Jose State sociology professor Ruth Wilson, they unhappily realize "there is no sense of the richness of African-American culture in the learning experience here."
Put another way by Gay: "If we want something, we literally have to fight."
That's the battle cry they are hearing from their elders -- veterans of the civil rights struggles of the '60s and '70s that noisily played out on this same campus.
Tormented freshman
In recent years, an uncomfortable alienation has festered, like a bandaged wound, among blacks on the 150-acre campus with some 30,000 students. An initiative to create a more inclusive campus lost momentum in a 2011 change of presidents. An incisive study documenting the alienation of all races and genders was set aside.
Then, last fall, the bandage was rudely ripped off when the campus learned that Santa Clara County prosecutors were about to charge four students with hate crimes against a black dorm resident.
In November, police reported that the white freshmen had systematically tormented their black roommate, snapping a bicycle lock around his neck and calling him bigoted nicknames. A Confederate flag and a board scrawled with the N-word were displayed in a shared living room, police said. The youth's parents -- not resident advisers or students -- exposed the situation.
It made some students and leaders -- including former Black Student Union President Alyxandra Goodwin -- wonder how no one among the black students had detected the trouble or reached out to help.
"No one really knew who he was," Goodwin said.
"We had just finished a great meeting of the Black Student Union when we heard about the hate crimes," recalled junior Ashlei McPherson. "We were talking about stereotypes and perceptions and how we can try to make things better on campus. We were feeling all good and then ..."
McPherson said the news crushed everyone in the room with a mixture of anger and defeat. Immediately, said Goodwin, "The message switched from 'We need to be recognized' to 'We need to protect our brothers and sisters.' "
The next day, Nov. 21, more than 1,000 students, staff and faculty -- of all colors -- marched as one, twisting through the heart of the campus, roaring out, "No justice, no peace!"
"We rallied," McPherson said, "and became determined that this terrible thing would not overcome all that black folks wanted to be on this campus."
Nearly every week since, the campus has been a whirl of protests, presentations, investigations, meetings and soul-searching -- all attempting to make San Jose State a better place for African Americans -- and, some say, for everyone.
"All these protests might look like blacks are working for only the good of blacks," said Chris J. Cox, a sociology lecturer on the campus, where Asians, Latinos and other minority groups also feel marginalized. Cox is on a task force analyzing the bullying case and how to improve the school's quality of life.
"All kinds of people are working on social justice to make this a good place for all students, faculty and staff," he said.
The November controversy spurred an aggressive uptick in planning February's Black History Month -- which is being extended into the first week of March.
At a Feb. 12 black student meeting, undergraduates were embraced by leaders of protests in other controversies, including the slayings of Trayvon Martin and Oscar Grant. The school's black alumni also opened their arms.
"Embrace those who came before you," was the message from Vickie Stephens, an '80s graduate who happily recalls a campus with more blacks than today -- and a very close-knit bunch. Stephens now runs the San Jose State Black Alumni Network, which urges, "Reach up to us, while we reach back to pull you along to success."
'Lethal ferocity'
On Monday, the university booked the fiery African-American author Michael Eric Dyson to deliver a speech: "Are we post-racial, or is racism still a problem?" The sociology professor and pundit's soaring oratory -- indicting institutional racism, homosexual hatred, political hypocrisy, and praising black pride and achievement -- lit up the packed-in multicultural audience.
The dorm bullying, Dyson said, exemplified the "vicious intemperance of racial animus," that "asserts itself with lethal ferocity."
Ironically, another recent speaker was the most infamous radical in school history -- Harry Edwards, the catalyst behind the 1960s Olympic Project for Human Rights and the black power salutes.
The imposing, 71-year-old sociologist urged students to sacrifice, protest and work for the future campus community -- but not to be naive.
"When you stand up," Edwards said in a booming voice, "you will pay a price. ... If you really take this thing on, you will not get out unscathed."
Although many may accept that risk, there's a realization that they need to be more creative than confrontational.
"Students need to take most of the responsibility for campus climate," McPherson said.
"No one else can take the lead on creating the nurturing community all of us need so badly."

Is Homework Too Hard For Today's Parents?
The ongoing debate over homework focuses mostly on kids' mounting workloads , and some schools' efforts to curtail them.
A growing number of parents are struggling with another homework trend that threatens to sink their juggle – an increase in extremely complicated homework projects, from neighborhood field trips to do research, to expansive dioramas or multimedia presentations to report on what students have learned, according to parents I interviewed for last Wednesday's "Work & Family" column on homework.
Chris Jordan, a mother of seven children ages 7 through 18, has seen it all. Her kids have gotten assignments to make hand-crafted trading cards of endangered species; to embellish book reports with five-color hand-drawn sketches of the protagonist; to design a restaurant menu that might have been used in colonial Jamestown; to write a rap song about the elements of the periodic table; and to research, design and color a 30-square "poster quilt" about their family heritage. One of her friends, she says, had to drive her kid around town to be photographed in front of various businesses.
"One of the biggest challenges for me is not to be exasperated by some of the assignments," says Jordan, a writer for AlphaMom. She sometimes yearns for simpler times, when parents drilled their kids on the multiplication tables or lists of spelling words.
Another mother said she feels like "a funding source" for her two high-schoolers' elaborate projects, including purchasing posterboard and other materials recently to create a large diorama on the expansion of the American West.
Other projects demand speedy, ad hoc training in tech skills. One of my high-schoolers was required to research, produce and present a video on a favorite sports star or public figure. The assignment got done, but I'm afraid I learned more about using iMovie than my teen.
Teachers deserve credit for trying to design creative assignments that appeal to kids with varying abilities, including those who love art, crafts or music. And these challenging assignments may be great preparation for the jobs of tomorrow, when workers will need to integrate diverse skills to solve problems.
But they can be murder for the busy families of today.
Readers, are your children's homework assignments becoming more complex or time-consuming? If so, do you see value in them? Or do such projects pile on so many complicated demands that they increase family stress?

Fiddler On The Slopes
Originally published on Thu February 13, 2014 2:08 pm
Classical music has managed to take center stage at sports events in the last few weeks. Soprano Renée Fleming sang the National Anthem at the Super Bowl two weekends ago. And the Russian-born Anna Netrebko, an ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin, appeared at the Winter Olympics opening ceremony to perform the Olympic Anthem.
However, no one asked either of those opera stars to perform athletic feats. Leave those to 35-year-old British violinist Vanessa-Mae, who is scheduled to ski for Thailand in the women's giant slalom Tuesday, Feb. 18.
First marketed as a child prodigy in the late 1980s, Vanessa-Mae later found huge success as a crossover musician with an overtly sexy image. In 2006, London's Sunday Times put her at the very top of its list of the U.K.'s wealthiest young entertainers. Her fortune, then estimated at £32 million, beat out the likes of Coldplay's Chris Martin and actors Orlando Bloom and Daniel Radcliffe.
Yet Vanessa-Mae has long dreamed of a second life as an Olympic alpine skier. And she's found an interesting way to fulfill that desire.
In the latest international rankings for women's giant slalom, Vanessa-Mae comes in only at No. 2,253. "I am British, but realistically there is no way I could represent my own country," the violinist told The Telegraph in 2010. "But because my natural father is Thai, they have accepted me."
Now racing under the name Vanessa Vanakorn, she was born in Singapore to a Chinese mother and a Thai father. She was raised in England by her mother and her British stepfather, Gavin Nicholson, whom her mother later divorced.
According to her official Olympics bio, Vanessa-Mae has been looking for a way to realize her Winter Games aspirations for more than a decade. A previous attempt to ski for Thailand at the 2002 Games in Salt Lake City was deflated when the Thai government asked her to forgo her British citizenship.
However, the Thai authorities were eventually placated, and in January 2013, the violinist announced she would be taking a hiatus from her music career to train more seriously in the Swiss ski town of Zermatt, where she moved in 2009.
Qualifying this time around did not come easily, though. Vanessa-Mae only met the Olympic criteria — "by a whisker," according to her manager — after racing in Slovenia last month in a last-ditch bid for eligibility in Sochi.
As she told Reuters at the time she took her hiatus last year, "I have no delusions about a podium or even being in the top 100 in the world ... Just to qualify for the Olympics in my hobby would be a dream come true for me." She is one of two athletes representing Thailand in Sochi; the other, Kanes Sucharitakul, will be in the men's slalom and giant slalom competitions.
Vanessa-Mae's press over the last couple of years hasn't been all sunshine and roses. In October 2011, she was one of the entertainers castigated by international human rights organizations for performing, reportedly for $500,000, at Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov's 35th birthday bash, along with actress Hilary Swank, action star Jean-Claude Van Damme and singer Seal. (The Chechen strongman has been accused of kidnapping and torturing his political opponents as well as carrying out extrajudicial executions.) Unlike Swank, who famously apologized and said she donated her fee for appearing at the same event to charity, Seal remained defiant and Vanessa-Mae never publicly responded to the outcry.

Man sentenced out of violent series of events
May 9, 2013
A Marietta man accused of hitting a teenager with a vehicle he was attempting to steal was sentenced Wednesday in Washington County Common Pleas Court....
I hope all the "do-gooders" out there are happy that he received a wrist slap. I just cannot figure out if it was the right wrist or the left wrist. Goodness knows we would not want him to have to pay a real price for his own actions.

This is a story that shows once again LET THE BAD PERSON OFF WITH A SLAP ON THE WRIST!!! His mother has health problems, yea well I'm sure there are other in jail and prison that has a parent with health problems are they now going to appeal there sentence, saying I need out because someone else didn't go to jail because his PARENT IT ILL. COME ON do the crime do the time,
3 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
He's a piece of work. I know him, he's an alcoholic and POS! He did get off too easy for this and I'm pretty sure it isn't the first time he's hit a woman! But anyway they probably got him to talk on people because he runs with others like himself. At least we know now that we can hit someone with a car but as long as we get out to make sure they are ok we have nothing to worry about!
2 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Not going to jail because mommy has health issues? Come on what is wrong with this picture. It didn't stop him from doing the crime. I suppose next they wont put them away if they have gas.

We blame neither lawyers or the courts. We hold responsible the legislature who makes the laws. Lawyers and the courts are sworn to uphold and enforce the law. We hold responsible a society that has become fragmented with social isolation of those deemed "less-than" even when surrounded by other members of society.
I'm curious as to why there was not a charge of domestic violence or battery against Farnsworth. The article notes that "Farnsworth punched the woman in the stomach" before stealing her keys again and leaving the scene. And what about injury to the young woman he hit with the car? Something isn't adding up with this case.

Free e-learning software: unifying coding efforts, and admin efforts
In this article, I will talk about an exciting chain of events which brought several universities together: instead of buying different Learning Management Systems, they teamed up and started working on the same piece of software -- together. This led to the development of Sakai, a fantastic Learning Management System. I will also talk about the importance, for organisations like the Sakai foundation, to then merge with similar ones (which share similar goals) for the same reason: avoid work duplication.

Police say a fifth victim of the shooting at a Minneapolis sign company has died.
Sgt. Stephen McCarty said the victim died sometime Friday at Hennepin County Medical Center. He was taken there in critical condition after the attack Thursday afternoon.
His death brings the total number of those killed in the attack to six, including the gunman.
The gunman was among five people found dead at the scene of the shooting at Accent Signage Systems. Police say he killed himself after opening fire at the small sign-making company on the city's north side.

When I permanently moved here to the US nine years ago, it meant leaving family and friends behind. It was like going to school for the first time and not knowing anyone at all. Everyone is a stranger and everything looked and feel either awkward or odd. But most of all, it was lonely.
But thank God I immediately found friends who soon after became my second family. If it weren't for them, my first few months in the US would have been dull and boring.
There was one particular person who made a whole lot of difference in my life here though (besides my husband). She was a true friend. Her name is Ozzy. Unfortunately, she has gone back to Indonesia and I rarely hear from her now. Like me, she is busy with life, work and family. But back then, we were inseparable.
Ozzy and I instantly became friends. Maybe being both Asian was what drew us to each other. We immediately bonded and truly enjoyed being together. She drove me around, took me to cool places and even introduced me to Indonesian cooking that I came to love! She made me feel at home and made me know I have a friend in her that I can rely on anytime. She was a blessing!
Now we have this unique event that happened to both of us that made our friendship a lot more special. Call it coincidental but it was pretty special to us. For years, she and her husband was trying to get pregnant. A few months after I met her, I got pregnant! She was quite happy for me and she made a joke about having me rub her belly to give her the gift of pregnancy, kinda like pixie dusts or magic touch I guess. But I did comply!
And voila! Whatever it was, she was pregnant the next month! My daughter was born in April, her daughter was born in May. She always tells me then that I was her lucky charm! Me, I was just happy that I have a friend like her and I was lucky in that respect.
Her friendship was nothing short of a blessing! It was priceless.
Which friend made such valuable impact in your life?

Vatican Swiss guards salute as cardinals arrive for a meeting, at the Vatican, Monday, March 4, 2013. Cardinals from around the world have gathered inside the Vatican for their first round of meetings before the conclave to elect the next pope, amid scandals inside and out of the Vatican and the continued reverberations of Benedict XVI's decision to retire. (AP Photo/Andrew Medichini)
VATICAN CITY (AP) -- Cardinals have set Tuesday as the start date for the conclave to elect the next pope, signaling that they were wrapping up a week of discussions about the problems of the church and who best among them might lead it.
The conclave date was set on Friday afternoon during a vote by the College of Cardinals. Tuesday will begin with a Mass in the morning in St. Peter's Basilica, followed by the first balloting in the afternoon.
In the past 100 years, no conclave has lasted longer than five days.
That said, there doesn't appear to be a front-runner in this election, and the past week of deliberations has exposed sharp divisions among cardinals about some of the pressing problems facing the church, including of governance within the Holy See itself.
According to Vatican analysts and even some cardinals themselves, the list of papabili, or those considered to have the stuff to be pope, remains relatively unchanged from when Benedict XVI first announced he would resign Feb. 28. But some Italian media have speculated that with governance such a key issue in this conclave, the cardinals might also be considering an informal pope-secretary of state "ticket."
The Vatican secretary of state is primarily responsible for running the Holy See, but it's not an elected job like the pope. It's a papal appointment, and will be a very closely watched papal appointment this time around given the stakes.
Also Friday, the cardinals formally agreed to exempt two of their voting-age colleagues from the conclave who in past weeks had signaled they wouldn't come: Cardinal Julius Darmaatjadja, emeritus archbishop of Jakarta, who is ill, and Scottish Cardinal Keith O'Brien, who resigned last week after admitting to inappropriate sexual misconduct.
That formality brings the number of cardinal electors to 115; a two-thirds majority -- or 77 votes -- is required for victory. Benedict in 2007 changed the conclave rules to keep the two-thirds majority requirement throughout the voting process after Pope John Paul II had decreed that after about 12 days of inconclusive balloting the threshold could switch to a simple majority.
By reverting back to the traditional two-thirds majority, Benedict was apparently aiming to ensure a consensus candidate emerges quickly and ruling out the possibility that cardinals might hold out until the simple majority kicks in to push through their candidate. His decision might prove prescient, given the apparent lack of a front-runner in this conclave.

Finding a natural solution
By Gina Souders
Herb Container Garden, Growing Herbs In Pots, Container Gardens, Parsley, Lemon Balm, Peppermint, Basil, Cilantro, Favorites, Lists, Top 5
It has been a very busy spring and summer for me so far, but I finally carved time out of my schedule to visit Sunrise Garden Center, a local nursery in Lawrence, Kansas, that offers a large selection of specialty plants (including an endless supply of herbs).
Last year I completely rebooted my backyard patio by planting an abundance of herbs in containers, placing them high enough so as to keep them away from wayward rabbits and my hyperactive dog. I loved growing these herbs just outside my back door, and near my kitchen, for easy harvesting. (I always prefer adding fresh herbs over dried to my cooking.) So I was ecstatic to see a couple of my favorite perennials make a triumphant comeback this year. However, I miss many of the annuals from last year's garden, so I found myself back at the nursery to stock up on more herbs than I will know what to do with. So here you go: my five favorite container herbs for 2012.
You can grow nearly any herb in a container. Pick your favorites and get growing!Photo by Brebca/Fotolia
5. Parsley. Many savory recipes call for a sprig of parsley. (Especially one of my all-time favorites from Cooking Light, Cider-Glazed Chicken with Browned Butter-Pecan Rice.) So it just made sense to add this popular garnish to my container garden. This Mediterranean biennial did not grow back after the winter, so I bought a couple curly-leafed varieties at the nursery and replanted them. This herb is easy to grow and especially useful.
4. Lemon Balm. What is there not to love about this European perennial? It's ridiculously easy to grow, attracts pollinators and emits an intoxicating lemony smell. Harvest it for delicious bedtime teas or grow it simply for its lovely aroma. I love showing it off to friends and family members. They're always amazed by how fragrant it is. This shade-loving herb can be particularly invasive, so it makes a great plant for pots. And if your lemon balm is like mine, it will come back year after year.
3. Basil. This herb is a favorite of many, and with good reason. Its flavor complements most any summer dishes, but it especially pairs well with Italian fare. Although there is an abundance of unique basil varieties—more than 60—I am sticking with the traditional 'Genovese' basil. I grew this half-hardy annual in my container garden last year, and enjoyed having it close by for fresh flavor. This year I bought basil at the nursery to plant again, and I am eager to try my favorite basil dish: Cut puff pastries (like the Pepperidge Farm brand that you can find in the frozen food aisle at your local grocery store) into little squares, drizzle with olive oil, garnish with goat cheese, sliced tomato and basil, and bake for 15 minutes in a 400-degree oven. Instant appetizer for large parties!
2. Peppermint. Similarly as invasive as lemon balm, peppermint will take over any garden it can. This perennial returned to my backyard with a vengeance, but I didn't mind. Summer mojitos, here I come. You can also harvest peppermint for tea, salads, fruit salsas and desserts. (Think homemade peppermint patties.) Or, just enjoy sitting outdoors as its fragrant leaves enhance your aroma.
1. Cilantro. This herb is an annual that didn't return in my back garden this year, and I have to say, my feelings are a little hurt. Especially when I list cilantro as my No. 1 container herb. But I'm willing to forgive and forget, as there is nothing I love more than Taco Tuesdays. Fresh cilantro, especially in the summertime, is the greatest thing in the world. Okay, maybe I'm exaggerating a little bit, but I tend to cook Mexican dishes more often during this time of the year than most, and I am a nut for cilantro flavor. (I'm not one of those people who "claim" it tastes horrible.) Whether it be fish tacos, burritos, quesadillas or salsa, I can't get enough of cilantro flavor. Although this plant isn't the easiest herb to grow, as it has never seemed to flourish in my garden quite as well as peppermint or lemon balm, I love its flavor too much to care.
So what about you? What are your favorite herbs to grow this year? Leave me a comment and let me know!

'A good day, justice is served'
Victim, lawyer, politicians react to Filner's plea deal
Filner sentencing
Former San Diego Mayor Bob Filner on Tuesday pleaded guilty to one felony and two misdemeanor counts related to sexual harassment allegations against him. Click through for reaction to the outcome, which involves home confinement for three months but no jail or prison time.
Attorney General Kamala Harris
"This conduct was not only criminal, it was also an extreme abuse of power. This prosecution is about consequence and accountability. No one is above the law."
City Attorney Jan Goldsmith
"Today's action underscores the importance of Mr. Filner's removal from office and will further help our city and the victims put this behind us."
Plaintiff's attorney Gloria Allred
"I am very glad that former Mayor of San Diego, Bob Filner has been forced to face criminal charges in San Diego today. I commend the Attorney General for her action. Although I have filed a civil sex harassment lawsuit against him on behalf of my client, Irene McCormack Jackson, we know that he has also inflicted wrongful acts on other women as well. He has abused his position of power and his position of trust and hurt many women."
Sharon Cloward, a Filner victim
"I think I can speak for all of the women who had an incident with Filner. It's a good day, justice is served. There's this feeling of relief. I was very disappointed in his comments at City Hall (his resignation speech) at the very end when he flip flopped everything and made us feel like liars. So I'm really glad and very, very thankful to the attorney general's office, the sheriff's department. They did their due diligence and he got what's coming to him."
Former Mayor Jerry Sanders
"I think it's a way to move on. Bob Filner said there was no due process; he's had his due process and he pleaded guilty to that felony and two misdemeanors. I think San Diegans shouldn't have been mislead, with him talking about what he didn't do and how everyone was against him, when he pled guilty. It allows all of us to move forward. It allows a new mayor to step in and allows us to have a mayor that San Diego actually deserves."
Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez
"I think it's the best thing that Bob Filner has done for San Diego probably in the last six months was to plead guilty and get this done with. We're in the middle of a mayor's race. We want to move on, we need to move on. I think that there's a lot our city has to come to terms with and this'll help just put this I think behind us."
Mayoral candidate Nathan Fletcher
"Today, we should take some time to recognize all of the courageous women who came forward and put a stop to Bob Filner's predatory behavior. It is my sincere hope that his admission of guilt will allow all those he harmed to begin to heal. It's time to close this ugly chapter and move our city forward."
Mayoral candidate Kevin Faulconer
"Bob Filner's unethical behavior impacted the lives of many women and left our city reeling in chaos. Our entire city should be grateful for the courage of all the women who came forward. I'm proud that I was able to play a key leadership role in the bi-partisan effort to remove Bob Filner from office. I'm equally proud that the protections we included in our Comprehensive Pension Reform measure mean that taxpayers will not be on the hook for Filner's mayoral pension."
Filner attorney Jerry Coughlan
"Mr. Filner profusely apologizes to each person he might have harmed. He admits he is guilty. ... He is a much more humble man now. He did not realize his behavior was as bad as it was."
Tara Jones
Founder, National Women Veterans Association of America: "Elected officials have to be held accountable and reminded that just because you're a person of authority it's not ok to intimidate, taunt, and belittle women that feel your sexual advances are unwanted. Sexual harassment, sexual assault/violence against women and children can no longer continue to plague our society or military for that matter."
This presentation was reported by Jonathan Horn, Lori Weisberg, Greg Moran, Jeanette Steele and Ricky Young.

"I have studied disruptive innovation for more than two decades. Here, McQuivey offers insights about disruption — and about the accelerating pace of disruption — that I truly hadn't understood before. This is a very important book about what tomorrow holds in store; it shows us both what will happen and how to address it. I recommend it enthusiastically."
— Clayton M. Christensen, professor, Harvard Business School, and author of The Innovator's Dilemma
"As James McQuivey says, 'Digital disruption is not only a possibility for your company's future but the only possibility.' Once you accept that premise, decisions that previously seemed courageous or outrageous will instead appear to be rational and inevitable. James offers a road map for business leadership in the digital age that is thoughtful, inspiring, and liberating."
— Baba Shetty, CEO, The Newsweek Daily Beast Co.
"There is a powerful change happening in the way we consume and process information. It's a democratizing force that is drowning out the oligarchy of media who have told us what's important and what to think. It is incumbent upon all of us to master this new method — and to take the power into our own hands. James's book is an important step in that direction."
— Cory Booker, mayor, Newark, New Jersey, and co-founder, #waywire
"In Digital Disruption, James McQuivey persuasively demonstrates how to shift your mind-set by thinking and acting 'disruptively' in order to drive radical change to best meet the future needs of your consumers."
— Markus Dohle, chairman and CEO, Random House

The city of Augusta has released some information about its traffic plan for Masters Week. (March 9, 2011 / WRDW-TV)
News 12 at 6 o'clock / Wednesday, March 9, 2011
AUGUSTA---Expect a major traffic change for Masters. Berckmans Road will be a one way street every afternoon.
"I think if it helps the flow of traffic," said Matt Loss, who drives the stretch every day to work, "let's do it."
But not everyone is ready to go that route.
"I think it is a bad idea from the perspective of the residents and everybody in this area," said Willie Hampton.
The city held a public meeting to explain the changes before people living along the stretch.
"To give them a chance to beat me up I guess," said traffic engineer Steve Cassell.
All traffic will be routed away from Washington Road and up Berckmans Road. The one-way operation will start at Cherry Lane from 4PM to 9PM. The right lane will turn right on Ingleside Drive. The left lane will keep straight through the intersection.
"You are in the middle of the hornet's nest out there," said Cassell. "We're trying to make it better and get things moving quicker."
"I'm trying to move about 50,000 cars and then I have another 30,000 trying to come in," said Cassell. "You run out of roadway."
"I just don't see how it would help," said Hampton. "It seems like it would be more a hindrance."
"We feel that if we are going to improve things, this is something that is a key part of it," said Cassell.
"It is a necessary evil," said Loss. "I am a huge fan of the Masters. I will cooperate."
This is the first phase of the traffic plan. The full plan will be unveiled two weeks before Masters.

PARKERSBURG - Local hunters and deer-checking stations in Wood County reported a good start Monday to West Virginia's annual deer gun season.
Sunny weather and good conditions in the woods contributed to hunters seeing a number of deer in the local area, with dozens being harvested.
Ed Cain, with Cain's Muzzleloading near Boaz, said there were four or five hunters waiting to check their deer when the gun store opened its doors for business Monday morning.

Dawson Clevenger, 12, of Parkersburg, holds the eight-point buck he shot Monday, his first deer.
The turnout through the day at Cain's was better than the 2011 season, Cain said, primarily due to the rainy and foggy weather on last year's first day of gun season.
"Last year, it was rainy and miserable stuff, but it's been a good day today," he said Monday afternoon. He had checked in an equal mix of does and bucks during the day.
Cain said the gun store saw most of its business in the last few days leading up to Monday's opening day, as hunters purchased supplies and ammunition, or brought rifles in to be sighted or repaired.
Bob Hornbeck, of Washington, W.Va., was hunting Monday in the Bogle Ridge area near Mineral Wells and brought in a six-point buck to be checked at Pifer's Service Station in Mineral Wells. He said it was a good morning to be hunting.
"There was a lot of movement, a lot of movement in the woods," he said. It was his first time hunting in that area.
Mineral Wells resident Adam Ward was also checking in a deer at Pifer's on Monday afternoon. In the area where he was hunting, Ward said he saw more does than bucks, but he was able to bring in a 10-point buck.
"It was a pretty good day, except the coyotes were chasing around the deer a little bit," he said. The coyotes he saw were keeping the deer in motion and making it hard for him to get close.
Beth Pifer, with Pifer's Service Station, said the check station at the Interstate 77/West Virginia 14 intersection saw a lot of hunters bringing in deer Monday morning and afternoon. During the morning, more than 16 deer had been checked in and the number had grown to nearly 60 by the early afternoon, with more expected.
"Our biggest has been a nine-point - and he was a big nine-point - he was nice. He was taken in Wirt County," she said.
While most of the hunters have been men, Pifer said there were also some women and children of various ages participating in Monday's first day of hunting.
"The youngest so far has been 9 years old and he got an eight-point," she said Monday afternoon.
State officials talk each year about the positive economic impact brought to West Virginia during hunting season. Pifer agrees with that assessment.
The service center doesn't earn any money from the deer checking itself, but it does see a lot of business from the hunters who come in and take the opportunity to buy food, drinks, fuel and other supplies.
"We've sold a lot of food, a lot of beverages," he said.
Twelve-year-old Dawson Clevenger of Parkersburg checked in his eight-point buck at Reese's Country Store at Deerwalk Monday afternoon. He said he was happy about getting his first deer.
His father, Shawn Clevenger of Belmont, said the conditions they saw in the woods were good for opening day. He didn't see any coyotes on Monday, but has captured images on game cameras recently.
"It was a little better year this year, weather-wise," he said of Monday's conditions.
Roger Park, owner of Reese's Country Store, said more than 60 hunters had checked in deer by early afternoon and he expected to see a rush of hunters bringing in deer as it got dark.
"On the first day, people really try to hold out for the bucks unless they're kids with a doe tag or first-deer types of situations," Park said. He expects a good week due to the positive weather forecast for the next several days.
Across West Virginia, some 330,000 deer hunters took to the woods Monday for the start of a two-week gun season that the Division of Natural Resources predicts will be slightly better than last year.
Hunters bagged 60,157 bucks in the 2011 season, a 38 percent increase over the previous year, said Curtis Taylor, head of the wildlife resources section. This year, every region should see a similar or higher harvest.
Good reproduction and a mild winter last year have translated to an ample supply of 18-month-old animals, and mast conditions are favorable. Taylor said the DNR has been conducting spotlight counts in counties and seen plenty of deer with big racks.
In West Virginia, the November firearms season opens the Monday before Thanksgiving every year, so the date can be as early as Nov. 19 or as late as Nov. 25. This is one of the earlier years, and that means hunters are heading out closer to the peak deer rut. Hunters have an advantage when deer are active and distracted.
Hunters are limited to two bucks during gun season and three does a year, whether during archery or firearms season. Buck season runs through Dec. 1 and is open in every county but Logan, Mingo, McDowell and Wyoming.
Sunday buck hunting is legal only on Nov. 25 and only on private land in 10 counties this year. They are Boone, Brooke, Clay, Hancock, Jefferson, Lincoln, Marshall, Ohio, Wayne and Wetzel.
Though there is no gun season in Logan, Mingo, McDowell and Wyoming counties, the DNR says archers can bow-hunt in those areas on Nov. 25.
Hunters who want to donate meat to food pantries through the Hunters Helping the Hungry program can visit the DNR website for information or call 304-558-2771. Mountaineer and Huntington Food Banks distribute the venison.

riverbuoy wrote:Your two new entities, Ray and XLine, are great, and combining them with the line command is an excellent idea.
(By the way, I was just about to post 'DrawPolylineEx', which has the same additions as 'Line2PEx'. ).
Now, I don't want to rain on your parade, but has anyone pointed out that the shortcut EA conflicts with 'Ellipse Arc'?
Playing with the line command, I noticed that the 'close' function doesn't move relativezero. This may be by design, but I would prefer it to move to the first point.
Similarly, if you start another command while in the line command, and relativezero is moved, when you exit that command, relativezero isn't returned to its original position.
Could I suggest, as an alternative to using single letter shortcuts, that you add two letter shortcuts to the Close, Undo and Redo buttons in the options toolbar? My suggestions would be CL, UN and RD (RE is already used for rectangle).
Could I also suggest adding the check for the 'enter' or 'return' key being pressed, and If the current prompt is 'First point', then pressing enter or return causes the first point to be set to the last position in the drawing? Husky, at least, thought this was a good idea.
I noticed that you added the distance to 'Display Angle', which is good. However, adding the code to 'snap info' means that the display is always on, which as I said might be annoying at times.
Would it be possible for me to add a toggle button to the 'restrict to angle or distance' options toolbar, and add the display code to 'RestrictAngleLength.js'?
Perhaps you could have a vote on whether or not users want this feature.
Finally, if the restriction is active when trying to select the first point, it can stop you selecting the exact point you want. (This is also the same for the 'orthogonal', 'horizontal' and 'vertical' restrictions). Now I know you can easily switch it off using the button, but would it be better to switch off restrictions while selecting the first point?
I would be quite willing to make these changes and send them to you. Perhaps you could let me know what you think?
Andrew wrote:
Another idea would be to use a fixed first character for all options toolbar tools. E.g. '.C' for close and '.U', '.R' or '/C', '/U', '/R' or something like that.
riverbuoy wrote:So the shortcuts are ',C' for the close button, ',U' for undo, and ',R' for redo.
I have attached the altered file 'Line2P.ui'.
If the current prompt is 'First point', then pressing enter or return causes the first point to be set to the last position in the drawing. This is in the 'keyPressEvent' function.
I also added the 'hideUiOptions' function. This stores the position of relativezero. Then I added code to 'showUiOptions' to restore the position of relativezero. To add this functionality to all commands, I would assume you could just change the default functions, 'hideUiOptions' and 'showUiOptions' and have them save and restore relativezero. I don't know if this is correct, or even easy.
Finally, I discovered that if you choose Line2P as the very first command you run on starting QCAD, and you enable the restrict to angle or length function, then you can't select a first point. This is because 'getRelativeZero()' returns an invalid point. This means relativezero is not initialised on startup. Setting it to point 0,0 would be useful.
this.relativeZeroPos = undefined;
OK. Eventually, that first key for tools in the options tool bar could even be configurable to some extent.
riverbuoy wrote:This seems to have solved the problem, so I have attached the file EAction.js with the line added.
It could be an option in 'Application Preferences' under 'Widgets->Toolbars'. However the shortcuts are in the ui file (xml format), and they would all have to be changed. Seems quite diffcult and time consuming unless ther is a better/easier way of doing this.
Andrew wrote:
The key codes could be set / adjusted programmatically (QAction::shortcut, QAction::setShortcut), so it might be possible to simply replace the comma with something user configurable.
Line2P.prototype.initUiOptions = function(resume) {
var prefixChar = ".";
var optionsToolBar = EAction.getOptionsToolBar();
var w = optionsToolBar.findChild("Close");
if (!isNull(w)) {
w.shortcut = new QKeySequence(prefixChar + ",C");
var w = optionsToolBar.findChild("Undo");
if (!isNull(w)) {
w.shortcut = new QKeySequence(prefixChar + ",U");
var w = optionsToolBar.findChild("Redo");
if (!isNull(w)) {
w.shortcut = new QKeySequence(prefixChar + ",R");
riverbuoy wrote:Andrew, Is this the kind of thing you were thinking about?
riverbuoy wrote:The disadvantage is each command that has toolbar options would need to write an 'initUiOptions' function if they wanted to allow the user to change the shortcuts.
Andrew wrote:
It should be possible to do that in EAction.prototype.initUiOptions by iterating though all children (optionsToolbar.children() ). Then one could check for each child if it has a keycode starting with a ',' and if so, replace it. What do you think?
EAction.prototype.initUiOptions = function(resume) {
var prefixChar = "/";
var optionsToolBar = EAction.getOptionsToolBar();
if (isNull(optionsToolBar)) {
for (var i in optionsToolBar.children()) {
var child = optionsToolBar.children()[i];
var shortCut = child.shortcut;
if (!isNull(shortCut) && !shortCut.isEmpty()) {
var count = shortCut.count();
if (count < 2 || count > 4) {
// greater than 4 is actually an error
var str = shortCut.toString();
var firstChar = str[0];
if (firstChar === prefixChar) {
// no change needed
// if first key is Ctrl then the string starts with Ctrl+
// so check for a + sign, which indicates a modifier key has been used
// '+' and '-' should not be used as prefix, as they zoom in and out
if (str.indexOf('+') === -1) { // no plus sign
if (firstChar >= '!' && firstChar <= '~') { // isgraph()
str = str.replace(firstChar, prefixChar);
child.shortcut = new QKeySequence(str);

St. Francis' Curtis Ogren, the reigning Mercury News boys swimmer of the year, is already staking his claim to the honor this season.
The Stanford-bound senior broke two national records at a recent meet against Menlo while sharing the spotlight with one of his younger teammates.
In a competition held in a short-course meter pool at Menlo, St. Francis sophomore Ben Ho also eclipsed a national mark.
Ogren won the 200 individual medley in 2:00.48 and the 100 breaststroke in 1:00.90. The previous marks, held by current Georgia star Nic Fink, were 2:05.27 and 1:02.63. Ho swam the 100 backstroke in 56.10 to nip the previous record of 56.26.
St. Francis coach Terry O'Donnell, who calls himself a lucky man, said of his two stars, "They're both very humble. They shy away from the limelight a little bit, but at the same time it's nice to get recognized."
O'Donnell said the records were targeted, noting that the meet came on the heels of the end of club season.
"We timed it as best we could," O'Donnell said. "Quite honestly, Curtis and Ben on any day are unbelievably fast. But we wanted to time it well for Curtis, being a senior.
"It's a more obscure distance. Nobody really swims any championship meets at the 25-meter setting. But the fact that the guys that they ended up beating their records are big-time swimmers as well was kind of cool."
Track and field
Wilcox's Marisa Kwiatkowski, who placed fourth in the triple jump at the state finals last year as a junior, was named girls athlete of the meet Saturday at the K-Bell Classic. Kwiatkowski won the triple jump at 40 feet, 71/2 inches, breaking her own meet record. The mark is tops in the U.S. so far this season. She also won the long jump at 18-9.
Other top early-season performances were turned in by Los Gatos' Hannah Chen in the girls 300 hurdles (43.66), Presentation's Taylore Jaques in the pole vault (12-4) and Harker freshman Niki Iyer in the 3,200 (11:01.33).
Other local first-place girls finishers included Los Gatos' Greta Wagner in the 100 (12.53), Pioneer's Jeanine Noordam in the 800 (2:16.04), Evergreen Valley's Priscilla Lee in the 400 (59.68), Gunn's Adriana Noronha in the discus (107-6) and Valley Christian's Elana Bruckner in the shot put (37-4 1/2).
On the boys side, Mt. Pleasant's Chris Illio won the 100 (11.24), Carlmont's Ryan Dimick the 3,200 (9:35.01), Bellarmine College Prep's Grant Bush the triple jump (44-111/2), Yerba Buena's Marcus Tran the long jump (22-3), Branham's Zachary Nichols the pole vault (14-6) and Willow Glen's Luis Maciel the discus (153-11).
