Taft shoots a 526 while Bakersfield Christian was four strokes behind
The Taft girls golf team went out with a bang Wednesday afternoon when they closed out the season by winning the South Sequoia League championship tournament at Buena Vista Golf Course.
"The girls showed great effort and proved that they are going to be a contender next year in the SSL," said Taft coach Mike Cowan.
Taft won the tournament with a score of 526 while Bakersfield Christian was second with a score of 530. As a result, the Lady Eagles are moving on to Area as a team. Wasco followed with a score of 668 while Shafter had a round of 674. Cesar Chavez had a score of 675.
Individually, Kennedy Sorensen had the lowest score for Taft with a 96. Raegan Sorensen followed with a 100 while Josey Burke had a round of 105. Arizona Pilgrim was two strokes back. Jesekah Rogers and Kayla Kaszycki each had a round of 118.
The win was bittersweet for the Lady Wildcats. In order for the Taft team to qualify for Area, they would have to win the South Sequoia League or shoot a 500 score or lower in the championship.
Taft ended up second in the league standings with 98 points while Bakersfield Christian was first with 100 points. Wasco was third in league with 72 points while Shafter had 44 points.
However, the Lady Wildcat season is not completely over. Raegan and Kennedy Sorensen are moving on to Area Monday as individuals. To move on as individuals a player had to shoot a score of 100 or better.
Despite finishing second in the standings Cowan likes how the team has progressed this season.
"I'm so proud of the progress my girls have made this season," said Cowan. "They have become solid golfers, know how to get around the course in a respectable way and could play at any golf course, anywhere with confidence.

A male fan has been arrested for groping actress Sarah Hyland at an event in Australia this week (begs17Feb14).
The Modern Family star was posing with fans at a party at The Sebel Pier One in Sydney on Tuesday (18Feb14), when an unidentified male, who asked her for a picture, grabbed her breast.
Following the incident, the 23 year old abruptly left the venue and took to Twitter.com to apologize for leaving early.
She wrote on Thursday (20Feb14), "Sorry to all the fans outside the qantas event that I didn't get to say hi to but I had to leave due to an inappropriate touch of a fan."
Her boyfriend, Matt Prokop, added, "To the a**hole who assaulted Sarah tonight I hope to God you don't see next week.
"All Sarah wanted to do tonight was say hi to the girls who were waiting outside one douche can ruin it for everyone. Goodnight."
Police officials confirm the man has since been arrested.
A spokesperson tells MailOnline.com, "A man is assisting police with investigations following an alleged indecent assault of a woman yesterday. It is alleged the man indecently assaulted the 23-year-old woman... A 29-year-old man was arrested. Police are continuing their investigations."

Alice and Bob
Alice and Bob are two commonly used placeholder names. They are used for archetypal characters in fields such as cryptography, game theory and physics.[1] The names are used for convenience; for example, "Alice sends a message to Bob encrypted with his public key" is easier to follow than "Party A sends a message to Party B encrypted by Party B's public key." Following the alphabet, the specific names have evolved into common parlance within these fields—helping technical topics to be explained in a more understandable fashion.
These placeholder names are used for convenience and easier understanding. For example, if a writer wants to explain encrypted emails, the explanation might be:
- 1. Alice gets Bob's public key from the company directory.
- 2. Alice sends a message to Bob encrypted with Bob's public key.
- 3. Bob can use his secret key to unscramble it.
Every reader can intuitively figure out that they themselves could do the same thing as Bob or Alice.
In cryptography and computer security, there are a number of widely used names for the participants in discussions and presentations about various protocols.[2] The names are conventional, somewhat self-suggestive, sometimes humorous, and effectively act as metasyntactic variables.
In typical implementations of these protocols, it is understood that the actions attributed to characters such as Alice or Bob need not always be carried out by human parties directly, but also by a trusted automated agent (such as a computer program) on their behalf.
Cast of characters
This list is drawn mostly from the book Applied Cryptography by Bruce Schneier. Alice and Bob are archetypes in cryptography; Eve is also common. Names further down the alphabet are less common.
- Alice and Bob. Generally, Alice wants to send a message to Bob. These names were used by Ron Rivest in the 1978 Communications of the ACM article presenting the RSA cryptosystem,[3] and in A Method for Obtaining Digital Signatures and Public-Key Cryptosystems published April 4, 1977, revised September 1, 1977, as technical Memo LCS/TM82.
- Carol, Carlos or Charlie, as a third participant in communications.
- Chuck, as a third participant usually of malicious intent.[4]
- Craig, the password cracker (usually encountered in situations with stored hashed/salted passwords).
- Dan or Dave, a fourth participant.
- Erin, a fifth participant. (It's rare to see Erin; E is usually reserved for Eve.)
- Eve, an eavesdropper, is usually a passive attacker. While she can listen in on messages between Alice and Bob, she cannot modify them. In quantum cryptography, Eve may also represent the environment.
- Faythe, a trusted advisor, courier or intermediary (repository of key service, courier of shared secrets. May be a machine role or human role; used infrequently. Faith or Faithful).
- Frank, a sixth participant (and so on alphabetically).
- Mallet[5][6][7][8] or Mallory,[9] a malicious attacker (less commonly called Trudy, an intruder.); unlike the passive Eve, this one is the active man-in-the-middle attacker who can modify messages, substitute their own messages, replay old messages, and so on. The difficulty of securing a system against Mallet/Mallory is much greater than against Eve.
- Oscar, an opponent, similar to Mallet/Mallory but not necessarily malicious. Could be white-hat but still wants to crack, modify, substitute, or replay messages.[citation needed]
- Peggy, a prover, and Victor,[9] a verifier, often must interact in some way to show that the intended transaction has actually taken place. They are often found in zero-knowledge proofs. Alternate names for the prover and the verifier are Pat and Vanna[10] after Pat Sajak and Vanna White, the hosts of Wheel of Fortune.
- Sybil, an attacker who marshals a large number of pseudonymous identities, e.g. to subvert a reputation system. See Sybil attack.
- Trent, a trusted arbitrator, is some kind of neutral third party, whose exact role varies with the protocol under discussion.
- Walter, a warden, may be needed to guard Alice and Bob in some respect, depending on the protocol being discussed.
- Wendy, a whistleblower, is an insider with privileged access who may be in a position to divulge the information.
Although an interactive proof system is not quite a cryptographic protocol, it is sufficiently related to mention the cast of characters its literature features:
- Arthur and Merlin: In interactive proof systems, the prover has unbounded computational ability and is hence associated with Merlin, the powerful wizard from the Arthurian legend. He claims the truth of a statement, and Arthur, the wise king, questions him to verify the claim. These two characters also give the name for two complexity classes, namely MA and AM.
- A similar pair of characters is Paul and Carole. The characters were introduced in the solution of the Twenty Questions problem,[11] where "Paul", who asked questions, stood for Paul Erdős and "Carole", who answered them, was an anagram of "oracle". They were further used in certain combinatorial games in the roles of Pusher and Chooser respectively, and have since been used in various roles.[12]
- Arthur and Bertha are players in a combinatorial game. Arthur represents the "Left", "Black", or "Vertical" player. Bertha represents the "Right", "White", or "Horizontal" player. Additionally, Arthur, given the same outcome, prefers a game to take the fewest number of moves. Bertha likewise prefers a game to take the most number of moves.[13]

Florida: Magic Johnson Dedicates Space for World AIDS Museum
November 12, 2013
This article was reported by the Sun Sentinel.
The Sun Sentinel reported about the dedication of the World AIDS Museum and Educational Center where Earvin "Magic" Johnson spoke on the 21st anniversary of his own HIV-positive announcement. In front of a crowd of approximately 100 people, Johnson touched on how the world is combatting the stigma of HIV/AIDS as well as the medical advances since his diagnosis. "When I first started treatment years ago, it was 15 pills three times a day," Johnson said. "They said it was because I'm a big guy. So my height worked against me. But now, it's pills once a day."
The museum, located in Wilton Manors, Fla., just outside of Ft. Lauderdale, is the first global space dedicated to "telling the story of HIV and AIDS," according to Museum President Steven Stagon. "I'm so glad we got this museum started," Johnson said. "We've all got to work together and that's the key."
The museum will open early next year and is approximately 3,000 square feet, although the board hopes it will expand eventually. Funding for the museum came from a $94,000 grant and 34 individual donors. Stagon believes the location is ideal because the area does not have many museums currently, yet it hosts 12 million tourists each year. "This is the epicenter for the AIDS epidemic in America right now," he said.
Board Chairperson Hugh Beswick said featured exhibits will include themes such as "AIDS chronology," where visitors walk through a multimedia timeline of the history of the disease. A dedicated room will allow people to film their personal stories, which become part of an online "virtual quilt" of multiple stories. The sole exhibit now on display is of a large red ribbon sculpture constructed from artist Ed Sparan's 417 empty HIV medication bottles, which was worth $85,000 of medication. "That's 10 years' worth," Sparan said of the three-foot-high sculpture. "Magic is 21 years. His would be twice the size."

This week we are going back to basics and exploring wine parlance, parlance used in the appreciation of wine as well as the evaluation of wine. Here we go:
Clean — I think this is the basis, the jumping-off point in the appreciation and evaluation of wine. "Clean" wines are wines that have no discernible microbial flavors in the nose, sight or palate. From here, we can go forward with our appreciation of the wine. The difference, of course, between appreciation and evaluation, at this point, when we are talking about "clean," is lab analysis versus personal observation. Once we step into the lab, we are combining appreciation with scientific evaluation; in effect, numbers. Clean wines, regardless of nuance and varietal intensity, are wines uncluttered by off-odors, off-tastes and obscurations of a microbial nature which can either slightly alter the performance of the wine or be so pronounced as to make the wine not drinkable. Again, cleanliness is the base line for sound wines.
Fresh — This term applies to white and rosé wines. Freshness arrives from wines displaying balanced acidity and from newer released wines, usually with a minimum of oak treatment. "Fresh" wines are also wines intended for immediate drinking, wines not intended to age for any appreciable time. Many times we hear the term "fresh" describing, for example, newly released rosé wines. The overriding feel on the palate with "fresh" wines is one of something light, thirst-quenching and refreshing, especially when the wine is paired with food.
Mature — Mature wines, whether they are red or white, are wines showing their age in an appropriate manner, that is, showing varietal character without degeneration of structure throughout the various stages of appreciation. Correctly matured wines are wines that have peaked in their evolutionary process, that is, that the wine will no longer benefit from further aging but is at its peak of enjoyment. Interestingly, many wine folks think of mature wines as red wines only, but, of course, older chardonnay as well as (a few examples) many of the sweeter German Rieslings can go on for many years. Not long ago, I tasted a 30-year-old Auslese (Riesling) from Germany, which was spectacular. Would it have benefited from further age? No, but I think the wine will sit at this level for a few more years before slipping away.
Balance — This is what every winemaker wants to achieve. Wines in "balance" are wines that display perfect harmony in all aspects of the finished product. This means that the sight, nose, palate and aftertastes are in synch and not any one part of the wine dominates another. This is never easy to achieve and the "great" wines always start with perfection in balance. Sometimes we think of balance as that of sugar and acidity or bouquet and body or any other flavor components, the truth of the matter is that balance is about everything in the wine from tactile senses such as weight and finish to nose and flavor components. When it all comes in line, wine can equal no other beverage on the planet. When one thinks of the thousands of different wine-producing grapes, regions, winemaker practices, wood treatment, aging opportunities and amazing viticultural programs available to taste in wine, it takes one's breath away. Balance means that all of this must come together in an almost magical effort.

I figured out the key to Levi's success with getting women to flock to him. For all my men out there, listen up.
First off, smiling is good for your health. And science proves it.
From lowering your blood pressure, increasing endorphin levels, lowering stress levels, boosting your immune system, and simply making you more attractive to the rest of the human race (come on, who doesn't need a little of that?), smiling has a tremendous effect on your body and your mood.
Smiling is also good for the health of those who see you.
People who smile more often have a positive effect on their environment, and are better received by others (Abel, MH, Hester, R. (2002).
Dr. Nigel Carter, CEO of the British Dental Health Foundation, stated "We have long been drawing attention to the fact that smiling increases happiness both in yourself and those around you, so it is good to receive the backing of this scientific research. A healthy smile can improve your confidence, help you make friends and help you to succeed in your career."
Yet why do so few of us smile?
While it may not be terribly surprising that women smile an average of 62 times per day, men only smile an average of 8 times per day. If spread over 16 hours of wake time, that's 1 smile every 2 hours for us guys.
Bros, think we can step it up a little?
And yet 99.7% of adults (*which includes women) say an attractive smile is an important personal asset.
*FREE TIP OF THE DAY – To my single male readers out there: this research suggests that maybe the key to landing a bride is stepping up the amount you smile. She apparently not only likes to smile, but likes seeing others smile.
It's this simple fact that has lead me to conclude precisely why Levi has so many women flock to him: he's a professional smiler at the age of 7 weeks.
Lord, help me. ch:

NBC Cancels The Playboy Club, Picks Up Pair of SitcomsMatt Richenthal at . Comments
NBC canceled this controversial drama after it debuted to five million viewers and dropped considerably since; the most recent installment netted just 3.4 million households. Reruns of Prime Suspect will air Mondays at 10 p.m. on NBC until it decides what else to do with that timeslot.
Meanwhile, the network has gone in the opposite direction regarding two sitcoms: Both Up All Night and Whitney have been granted full-season orders.
Said NBC Entertainment Chairman Robert Greenblatt: "We're thrilled with the creative direction of both shows as well as the potential for them to continue to build loyal audiences over the coming months. We're proud of all of the producers, writers, actors, and directors who have worked so hard to bring these shows to life."

I am familiar with this talented artist, Lenore Senior, and appreciate her work. The towels were much better quality than I expected. So soft and such a beautiful replication of Lenore's artwork. They look great with the wall art I already have in place. I appreciate all the different product forms that FineArtAmerica offers. I have ordered Lenore's work on greeting cards, too, and they were beautiful and of a very good quality. Thank you!

He picked up a 35mm camera in the mid-1970's and has never stopped sharing his unique vision via photographic images. Many moons ago, he was bitten hard by the wanderlust beast and has been canvassing the globe ever since. Visionary artists such as Pete Turner, David Lynch, Cindy Sherman, and Andre Kertesz set Skip's sight on a fine-art horizon early on. His insatiable thirst for rich color and even richer cultural exploration keeps him on the road most of the time. When he's recharging his batteries, he calls Austin, Texas...

Blackfoot debaters qualify for nationals
BLACKFOOT — Come June, three articulate Blackfoot High School (BHS) debaters are heading to Birmingham, Ala., for national competition.
Gentry Carter, Samantha Johnson and Blake Dewvall will compete at the national level of the National Forensic League (NFL). The double elimination qualifying meet took place Jan. 31-Feb. 2 at Madison High School in Rexburg.
"We have a really young team," said debate coach Marcy Curr. "I'm really proud of them."
Gentry and Blake are juniors. Samantha is a sophomore.
Gentry and Samantha will compete in Lincoln-Douglas; Blake will compete in International Extemporaneous (Extemp).
Lincoln-Douglas (L-D) debate is always a debate about morality, our core values, said Gentry. L-D competitors research and debate a topic for two months.
The topic for L-D for the months of January-February is "valuing rehabilitation versus retribution in the criminal system.
Competitors research both sides of each debate. They find out which side they are presenting at the competition.
During the fall, the L-D debate topic was "whether universal health care should be implemented in the U.S."
"We learned about differing societal views of universal health care, a little bit about politics, arguments for each side and views of some individuals," said Gentry Carter.
In International Extemp, competitors have 30 minutes to prepare a seven minute speech.
To prepare, Blake Dewvall said, "I read a lot about current events and pay attention to what's happening in the world."
The topic at the NFL qualifier was "Democracy in Egypt."
"We have a really young team," said debate coach Marcy Curr. "I'm really proud of them."
Five more BHS forensic members qualified for the national meet as first alternates. The first alternates are:
° Markie Lawrence in Domestic Extemporaneous Speaking and Original Oratory.
° Wyatt Andersen in Humorous Interpretation.
° Sven Poensgen and Wyatt Andersen in Duo Interpretation.
° Connor Slagowski in Student Congress.
° Jeannette Warren is the second alternate in Student Congress.
The BHS forensic team has 75 members. Thirty-five make up the traveling team.
"We have three seniors, all of whom qualified as first alternates," said Curr. "We have four juniors; two of whom qualified for the NFL.
"Freshmen and sophomores make up the rest of our team," she said.
In debate, there are 13 speech and three debate events. The debate events are policy, public forum and Lincoln-Douglas (L-D).
"I'm really looking forward to the district and state events," said Curr.
Students will compete at the district and state meets during February.
# # #
The competition is June 16-21 in Birmingham, Ala.

Delta and Pine Land Company (D&PL) is offering a Southwest dryland protection program that reduces a producer's seed expense in the event drought significantly limits lint production on his farm.
"When sufficient moisture is available, stacked-gene cotton varieties have a history of producing top-end yields and fiber quality in the Southwest production areas," says Rick Rice, marketing director at D&PL.
"But since lack of moisture can reduce yields so significantly in that part of the world, some farmers question whether they can afford top-grade technology varieties on dryland acres. We believe the 2007 D&PL Dryland Protection Program will make it easier for farmers to choose the very best varieties, even on dryland acres."
The 2007 D&PL Dryland Protection Program is for non-irrigated acres planted to D&PL-brand cotton varieties containing Monsanto cotton technology. If, due to drought, a farmer harvests less than 150 pounds of lint per acre, D&PL will credit the farmer's seed supplier for 50 percent of the units used to plant the low-production acres. D&PL will notify farmers by letter after credit has been issued.
The program is valid only for the 2007 crop year in Kansas, Oklahoma, New Mexico and specific counties in West Texas.
For complete 2007 D&PL Dryland Replant Program requirements, please contact a D&PL district sales manager or call D&PL customer service at 1-888-511-SEED (7333).

Here are some things I've learned over the past several weeks.
1) Ensure you've got enough hardware resources. I wouldn't try to run this program on anything less than a dual-core processor with 4 gigs of RAM and at least 30 gigs of free, defragmented hard drive space. Don't try to edit AVCHD on anything less than a quad core machine.
2) Ensure you have the latest Windows Updates (manually go to Windows Update and get the non-critical updates also) and the latest version of Quicktime and your graphics cards drivers.
3) LET THE PROGRAM COMPLETELY START UP BEFORE YOU TRY TO EDIT! This program takes a long time to fully start up. Wait until it completely loads, all of the clips have thumbnails on them and your hard drive stops churning. (You can even open Task Manager and watch it until the processor calms down.) On a slower machine, it can take 3-5 minutes for the program to completely load and settle down.
4) Whenever possible, use only standard video formats as your source files: MiniDV, HDV (tape-based hi-def) or AVCHD. Watch out for video from things like pocket hi-def camcorders like the Flip.
5) Render often. (I also recommend you go to Edit/Preferencess/General and turn off Background Rendering.) Whenever you see red lines above your clips on your timeline, press Enter and let the program render them. (The red lines will turn green.)
As I've said, I'm now running version 8 on both an XP machine and a Windows 7 machine and it's quite stable with my current workflow.
Hope that helps!

Teen Suicide Warning Signs
Medical Author: Melissa Conrad Stöppler, MD
Medical Editor: Jay W. Marks, MD
Recognizing teen suicide warning signs
Suicideis alarmingly common. It is the eighth leading cause of deathfor all people (accounting for about 1% of all deaths) and the third leading cause of death for people aged 15 to 24 (following accidents and homicide). The vast majority of suicides are related to emotional or psychiatricdisorders, including depression, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and others. Unsuccessful suicide attempts also are common and outnumber actual suicides.
While boys are more likely than girls to commit suicide, teensof both
genders and all ages are at risk for suicide. It is especially tragic that the

Looking for a gift for an avid gardener who has everything, including sore knees? Planting bulbs and setting transplants, weeding and harvesting -- all that standing up and squatting down puts strain on the knee joints. Baseball catchers have a similar problem since they spend so much time squatting, and a product designed to help them has now been revamped for gardeners.
Knee Savers strap on behind the calves and provide cushioned support between the calves and thighs. Your knees can't bend as far so they suffer less strain. Velcro straps and notches that cradle the Achilles help keep the knee savers in place as you work. Now you can double that bulb order!

The Walrus Says
Siblings Allie and Joshua Brown will appear in the Jamestown Community Theatre's production of "Little Women." Both are home schooled and veterans of the JCT. Allie, 16, plays the role of Beth. "It's a fun part, I love it. I have lots of different things to do, feelings and emotions to get across to the audience," she explained. Allie has appeared in "Yours Anne," "Into the Woods," "You're a Good Man Charlie Brown" and "Song Man, Dance Man." "It's going to be wonderful, I'm very excited.," she said.
Her brother, Joshua, 15, portrays Mr. Brooke, a tutor who falls in love with Meg, one of the sisters. "It's a fun part but awkward at times," he said. Joshua had a role in "Honk," was the voice of the giant in "Into the Woods" and worked backstage for "You're a Good Man Charlie Brown." Asked for his thoughts about the play, he replied, "It's going to be very interesting."
Meg, the object of Mr. Brooke's affection in the production, is played by Camille Baker, 17, a senior at North Kingstown High School. In discussing her role, she said, "Meg tries to hold everything together, is very sweet and watches over everybody. She is very proper, the type of girl that everybody would like to be." Camille is also a veteran of the JCT. She appeared in "Yours Anne" and played Rapunzel in "Into the Woods." "I'm excited, we are a tight cast, prepared and focused," Camille said.
"Little Women " will be staged May 15, 16, and 17 at the Recreation Center.
Ann Zartler and Bob Florentino were both in with the B.J. Whitehouse poser. The lyrics are from "Down in the Valley" and Ann wrote, "If you have ever sung with B.J. at one of those lovely sing-along evenings that he and Christine used to lead at the Senior Center, then you know 'Down in the valley, the valley so low, hang your head over, hear the wind blow.' Gorgeous song, great for singing-along."
The Americn folk classic is one of the selections included in the Jamestown Community Chorus' "Classic Choral" to be presented May 2 and 3 at the Central Baptist Church.

INDIANAPOLIS — Kobe Bryant will be a game-time decision Friday against the Indiana Pacers, Lakers Coach Mike D'Antoni said.
Bryant was not on the court for the team's morning shoot-around because he was getting treatment for a severely sprained left ankle and, D'Antoni said, "thinking about" playing.
"Obviously, he'll get better every day and we'll just see. When he can go, he'll go," D'Antoni added.
Jodie Meeks would start in Bryant's place against Indiana if Bryant can't play.
Bryant did not speak to reporters Friday morning.
Two days earlier, he had suggested he was injured when Dahntay Jones knowingly chose to "walk underneath" him while Bryant landed from an off-target fadeaway in the final seconds of the Lakers' 96-92 loss to the Atlanta Hawks.
Jones said he did not intentionally harm Bryant.
The NBA said Thursday that a foul should have been called and two free throws awarded to Bryant because he was not given "the opportunity to land cleanly back on the floor."

Friends remember South Barrington man found in pond
The body of a 25-year-old South Barrington man who went missing last week was discovered Friday in pond near his house.
Divers from the Barrington Fire Department recovered the body of Vance Nwankwo about 3 p.m. after a five-hour search. They searched two ponds near Nwankwo's house in the Spring Creek subdivision at Penny and Bartlett roads, finding his body in the second one examined with sonar equipment.
Nwankwo, who was described as mildly autistic, had been missing since a cabdriver reportedly brought him home from a Halloween party Oct. 30.
Deputy Police Chief Ray Cordell said Nwankwo's family was notified after authorities made positive identification of the body.
Cordell said the investigation into the circumstances surrounding Nwankwo's death will remain open until an autopsy has been conducted. The autopsy by the Cook County medical examiner's office is scheduled for Saturday.
Nwankwo attended a party at the Drink nightclub in Schaumburg Oct. 30 dressed as "The Hulk" with his entire body painted green with black circles around his eyes. According to police, a cabdriver dropped off Nwankwo in front of his South Barrington home after picking him up at the nightclub. Nwankwo's boot was found by the mailbox, indicating that he got at least that far after leaving the party, authorities said.
Nwankwo's mother reported him missing Nov. 1. Relatives suspect someone may have lured him away with a concocted story, according to a missing persons flier posted online.
Friends on Friday were remembering Nwankwo as a popular student, movie and music enthusiast and White Sox fan who enjoyed making people laugh.
Sara McMillan, 25, of Barrington, said she knew Nwankwo since first grade at Countryside Elementary School. They also attended the Prairie Campus of Barrington Middle School and Barrington High School together before graduating in 2005.
McMillan said the last time she saw him was a few weeks ago at Durty Nellie's in Palatine.
"He was having a great time and taking pictures with everyone. Every time I looked over at him he was smiling and laughing. That laugh is something that I will absolutely never forget. It was contagious and a full-on belly laugh," she said.
Kimberly Davis, 24, of Carpentersville, said she often rode the bus with Nwankwo to high school. He'd often quote lines from movies and talk about the latest music. He knew everything about those two topics, she said.
"He was a really nice guy," Davis said. "He always wanted to bring out the good in people."
She says Nwankwo worked at a Jewel store and recently started worked at a Bucky gas station.
He is survived by a mother, brother and sister.
Friends on Facebook said they were organizing a candlelight vigil to be held in Nwankwo's honor.

Nancy Purcell '86 (History)
Sac State alumna specializes in reviving schools
Spend a workday with Nancy Purcell and be prepared for perpetual motion.
The Sac State alumna is the principal of Fern Bacon Middle School in south Sacramento, and she is continually on the go. Whenever students move from one class to another, Purcell is there, talking with students, ensuring they get to class and heading off potential problems. At lunchtime, she's talking with students, addressing their concerns, resolving their conflicts.
Welcome to the new normal for successful school administrators.
Selected two years ago by Sacramento City Unified Superintendent Jonathan Raymond to turn the troubled school around, Purcell has delivered. Test scores and attendance have improved. So has the mind-set of the school's students and staff alike.
Purcell has gotten positive results because of her core belief that children of all ages are basically pragmatic and will meet expectations. Start with a self-fulfilling prophecy that they can learn, she contends, and they will. And her middle schoolers have done just that. In the space of two years, Fern Bacon's Academic Performance Index went from 647 to 747. Last year's gains in language arts and math scores surpassed those of all district schools.
Fern Bacon's mission mandated from the principal's office is that each student will be motivated to excel. This means a committed teaching staff that challenges kids to be the best they can be and parents who buy into the system by reinforcing that message at home.
The upshot has been stunning. But Purcell's administrative track record prefigured no less. In the space of five years, she transformed Sam Brannan Middle School in South Land Park from mediocre to a California Distinguished School.
When Raymond tapped her for Fern Bacon, Purcell didn't hesitate. "I was working in the central office and concluded that this was a challenge worth accepting," she says. "I spent several weeks interviewing students, teachers and staff, and making clear my expectations of them."
Granted carte blanche in hiring, Purcell's administrative team and nearly all of the teachers are new and passionately committed to the mission that all of Fern Bacon's students can learn.
Purcell recalls a tough learning experience of her own in pursuing a bachelor's degree at Sac State. "My most vivid memory as a social science major was getting a near-failing grade on a paper from History Professor Frank Garosi," she says. "He patiently reviewed the paper with me, detailing how to think and express myself critically. I have never forgotten his advice and have used it repeatedly to help kids throughout my professional career.
"There's something incredible about middle-school kids," says Purcell. Her Fern Bacon family surely would return the compliment.

The It Happened to Alexa Foundation, founded by Tom and Stacey Branchini, honors the courage of their daughter, Alexa, who survived a traumatic rape by a stranger who broke into her college dormitory the second week of her freshman year. The foundation provides financial, emotional and advocacy assistance to victims who prosecute their attackers.
The It Happened to Alexa Foundation has successfully been working on an educational outreach program with Niagara County schools for three years. In the past, Grigg Lewis and the Sabres Foundation have contributed funding to this venture.
"Our challenge has been the manpower to approach the schools and fulfill all the requests that we get," said It Happened to Alexa Foundation Executive Director Ellen Augello. "That will no longer be an issue as the foundation was able to hire a part-time educational outreach/victim support person. Mrs. Sandra Lahrache started with the foundation in September and we could not be more thrilled to have Sandra as part of the Alexa Foundation team. Sandra is a licensed victim advocate and crisis service counselor, as well as an accomplished presenter. She is very well-suited to work with school-age children as well as college-age students."
Safe Dates with the Alexa Foundation is a hybrid of the safe dates national program enhanced by safety issues facing today's young adolescents. The foundation offers this program in response to the alarming statistic that 1 in 3 adolescents are victims of dating abuse.
The main goal of the Safe Dates program is to equip students with the skills and resources to help themselves or friends in an abusive relationship. It can be used as a prevention or intervention tool in recognizing violent or abusive behaviors in others, as well as strategies to control their own anger.
The It Happened to Alexa Foundation would like to help create a school environment where respect and responsibility are promoted and violence and sexual harassment are not. By educating youth on this crucially important topic, the foundation said it hopes to reduce these statistics throughout the community.
Those who would like to make a donation to assist with the funding of this program, and those who would like the Safe Dates program brought to their school, should contact Lahrache at 716-754-2210 or call the It Happened to Alexa Foundation at 716-754-9105 or 1-877-77-ALEXA.
