ABBY HAIGHTCARSON, Calif. — Nate Anderson smiled and took a deep breath. Then he smiled bigger, breathed deeper.
Life suddenly was happening very fast for the 17-year-old Portlander, a wonderful blur of new experiences.
A few weeks ago, Anderson made waves in Oregon when he broke Gus Envela’s 20-year-old state 400 meters record with a time of 46.77 seconds.

PORTLAND — Dozens of interns are attending “business boot camp” at local law firm Stahancyk, Gearing, Rackner and Kent.
The interns do a variety of jobs, from helping around the office with basic chores to making jams and gifts for clients. There are also computer and Web site projects and newsletters.
While the chores get done, new job skills and life lessons are learned.

These kids offered a little song, a little dance–even some Samosas and lucky socks–to try getting into their dream schools. Hey, it beats retaking the SATs

WILLIAM & MARY
Name: Kaitlin Hurley
Get-In Gimmick:
After visiting Virginia’s College of William & Mary last summer, Hurley fell for the school’s track program–mind, body and sole. When she applied, the cross-country runner included her lucky gym socks along with a note saying, “I’ll pick them up on the first day of class.” What did her folks think? “They were a little iffy about it,” says Hurley, who has worn the socks since her Jesuit High School cross-country team scored a state championship her junior year. “She has an odd sense of humor,” says her father, Jim, 51, a Nike manager. Luckily, admissions officers shared it. “It made us laugh,” says head of admissions Karen Cottrell. “We had a lot of conversations about whether she washed them first.” The (mercifully, laundered) socks helped Hurley land a place in this fall’s freshman class–and have even made believers of Mom and Dad. “Now,” says Jim, “they’re twice as lucky.”
