Jane in the right lane
PETALING JAYA: The Triple Crown was not Sin Li Jane's to wear just yet, but the national bowler remained upbeat after settling for second place at the USBC Queens on Tuesday. The 33-year-old was just one win away from capturing one of bowling's rarest achievements, but her efforts were cut short by American top seed Josie Barnes as the home favourite won 211-198 at the Suncoast Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.

The Palm Beach Post photographs your graduations because we're proud, too
OK, I confess. I have a soft spot for high school graduations. I have three daughters that graduated from Palm Beach County high schools (Suncoast, Dreyfoos School of the Arts). The Post staff knows this, and puts up with my seemingly non-stop raving around this time every year. Of course, my high school graduation (from Martin County High School in 1978) was memorable for a number of reasons. Not the least of which was the look of pride on the faces of my grandmothers; two women who grew up in the Old South and were never able to go beyond the fifth grade because they had to work, but always stressed to me the importance of education. But that's not the primary reason I believe these annual events are special. It's because they are a true source of community pride. Watching those wide-eyed youngsters go across a stage to receive their diploma is symbolic for both the students' first step into adulthood and parents' acknowledgement of a job (hopefully) well done. There are tears of joy from friends and family who had a hand in bringing this young person along through good times and bad, and tears of sadness from the graduates who realize that some of the best times of their young lives are coming to an end. For The Palm Beach Post, as a newspaper that has had the opportunity to report and write about a handful of these new grads at some point — in triumph or tragedy — marking this occasion is important. Despite so many other things going on in our busy and growing county, we're there to capture in photos and video, the graduation ceremonies of more than two dozen of our public high school classes. It's tough, but as you, our readers, oft remind, it's worth it. The looks on the graduates' faces just never seems to get old. Our photographers — , , and — rotate spending the entirety of their day, from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., at the South Florida Fairgrounds shooting one colorful ceremony after another. The result has been the beautiful photo galleries that we will be and have been publishing in the print editions, and posting on our website, Twitter and Facebook accounts, and in our community newsletters. Well, I could go on and on. But we'd honestly rather you spend the time going through the photos and video, and feeling the same pride that we do. This is a special time of year for our community. Congratulations to all of our graduates!
