DURHAM, N.C. – All-ACC outside hitter Jeme Obeime put down a career-high 19 kills to lead the 14th-ranked Duke volleyball team past College of Charleston 3-1 (25-14, 25-8, 23-25, 25-19) in the opening round of the NCAA Volleyball Championship in Cameron Indoor Stadium.
Obeime led a contingent of three Blue Devils in double-digit kills as Duke (28-4, 18-2 ACC) posted a .325 hitting percentage on the night. Sophomore Elizabeth Campbell amassed 15 kills, while ACC Player of the Year Emily Sklar dropped 10 to pace an effective Blue Devil attack.
With the win, the Blue Devils advance to the tournament's second round for the 10th time in program history. Duke now faces American Saturday, Dec. 7 at 6 p.m. in Cameron. The winner of Saturday's match moves on to the Sweet 16 and faces top-seeded Texas in Lincoln, Neb.
In the program's eighth NCAA Tournament appearance, College of Charleston (25-6, 13-1 CAA) had no answer for the Blue Devils in the opening two frames. Duke accumulated 24 kills on .465 hitting in the first and second sets to jump out to a 2-0 lead. Despite the deficit, the Cougars made it close in the end, winning the third set and taking Duke to the wire in the fourth.
"It was a great win," said senior Ali McCurdy. "We came out and pushed really hard in the first two sets. The third set we didn't bring the same intensity and College of Charleston came out really strong at us. I think once we picked up our overall intensity, we were in a better position."
For most of the night, Duke stifled the Cougar offense, limiting the squad to a .091 clip for the match. The Blue Devils racked up 14.0 blocks, compared to 2.0 for College of Charleston, and out dug the Cougars, 65-48. Three-time ACC Defensive Player of the Year Ali McCurdy led all players with 23 digs, while junior All-ACC setter Maggie Deichmeister picked up 15 to go along with 41 assists. In addition, freshman middle blocker Jordan Tucker set a career-high with eight blocks.
"We started off playing really, really solid volleyball – executing, we were communicating, we were taking chances and we were really going after it," said head coach Jolene Nagel. "I think the communication broke down a little bit. [College of Charleston] changed some things offensively, but we really stopped being the aggressor. We were able to bring it back together and execute better in the fourth set."
Duke bolted out to an early 8-3 lead and never looked back in the opening frame, taking the set 25-14. Obeime totaled five kills without committing an error to lead a Blue Devil attack that hit .400.
The Blue Devils continued to click on all cylinders in a 25-8 set two victory. Duke registered a .556 hitting percentage and totaled 6.0 blocks to limit the Cougars to a -.071 clip.
College of Charleston fought back in the third game, ultimately taking the stanza 25-23. Cara Howley and Melissa Morello both knocked down five kills to lead the Cougars. Charleston built a three-point margin which it was able to maintain late into the game. Duke cut the lead to 24-23 on an Obeime kill, but the Cougars leaned on Howley to finish the frame with a kill.
Obeime accumulated seven kills in the final stanza to clinch the victory for Duke. Tied at 19-19, Duke won the final six points, including two service aces from senior Chelsea Cook.
Howley and Morello added 10 kills each to pace the Cougars on offense, while libero Andi Zbojniewicz contributed a team-high 15 digs.

The search is on for a replacement for an outgoing member of the Lansing City Council.
The search is on for a replacement for an outgoing member of the Lansing City Council. The city announced Friday that it would be seeking residents interested in a position on the council representing Ward 3, generally described as the west-central part of the city. Councilman Billy Blackwell has held the seat since he was elected in 2011. In November, Blackwell won the city's mayoral seat, becoming the first new full-term mayor for Lansing in nearly 27 years upon the retirement of longtime leader Ken Bernard. Blackwell's unexpired council term will last through April 2015. City Clerk Amber McCullough said the city purposefully delayed the announcement, but not because the new ward map was only approved Thursday night. "We just didn't want to put it out there too early, since the seat won't actually be vacant until (Blackwell) takes the oath of office Jan. 3," she said. Qualified applicants for the position must be at least 18 years old, a resident of Ward 3, a U.S. citizen and registered to vote. McCullough said applications are available at Lansing City Hall and directly though the city's website, www.lansing.ks.us. Completed applications will be due back to the city by 5 p.m. Jan. 4. McCullough said the council will pick the candidate to fill the seat. "They will make the final decision," she said. "But they will probably have interviews, kind of like what they've done for the (Leavenworth County Fire District No. 1) fire board," she said. McCullough said she has not had any inquiries on the position yet, nor has she received any applications.

Sunday, Feb. 24, 10 a.m. (Lincoln, Neb. - Nebraska Tennis Center)
The No. 15 Nebraska Huskers
women's tennis team (9-1, 1-0 Big Ten) faces off against the UALR Trojans (9-2, 0-1 SBC) and No. 64 Wyoming (2-2, 0-0 MWC) at home this weekend.
The Huskers are on a hot streak this season, knocking off four ranked teams so far this season.
Huskers In The ITA National Rankings
Nebraska's current rank at 15th is the highest in school history, surpassing the previous mark set last season at 16th. The ITA Division I women's tennis rankings were released Tuesday, Feb. 19 and Nebraska remains at No. 15 in the nation this week.
Mary Weatherholt has found herself ranked No. 16 in ITA singles due to her undefeated record (8-0, 4-0 ranked opponents) on the season, including matches against then-ranked No. 16 Ema Burgic of Baylor who is now at No. 13, No. 23 Brynn Boren of Tennessee who is now No. 18, No. 58 Britney Sanders of Notre Dame who is now No. 74, and No. 41 Kelsey Dieters of Ohio State who is now No. 53.
Mary Weatherholt and partner Patricia Veresova find themselves in the ITA doubles rankings at No. 18. The two are undefeated (6-0, 1-0 ranked opponents) on the season, including a victory over then-ranked No. 12 Brynn Boren and Kata Szekely of Tennesse who are now No. 3.
Nebraska is currently 5-1 against teams ranked in the ITA top 75, all but one of which were top 25 teams. The Huskers have knocked off No. 15 Baylor, No. 18 Notre Dame, No. 21 Vanderbilt, No. 23 Tennessee, and No. 55 Ohio State.
Nebraska's only loss came to tenth-ranked Miami at the ITA National Team Indoor Championships on Feb. 8.
The Huskers are the third-highest ranked team in the Big Ten trailing only behind No. 9 Northwestern and No. 12 Michigan. Nine teams from the Big Ten are in the top 75 this week, with a total of four in the top 25. The remaining ranked Big Ten teams are No. 20 Purdue, No. 34 Illinois, No. 48 Penn State, No. 60 Indiana, No. 61 Ohio State, and No. 65 Minnesota.
Mary Weatherholt Again Earns Big Ten Athlete of the Week
The Huskers senior from Prairie Village, Kan. won the Big Ten Women's Tennis Athlete-of-the-Week honors on Feb. 13 following her impressive undefeated record (8-0 singles, 6-0 doubles) including several victories over ranked opponents in both singles and doubles. This marks the second time that Weatherholt has earned the award this season thus far, after claiming the honors the week of Jan. 30.
On the Record Hunt
Being undefeated on the season with 14-0 combined (8-0 single, 6-0 doubles), Weatherholt jumps to No. 3 on the Career Combined Wins list in the school's record books with a totaly of 170. She only needs 12 more combined wins on the season to become the winningest women's tennis player in Huskers history (11 to tie record) currently held by former teammate Madeleine Geibert with 181 total career combined wins for Nebraska (Weatherholt 156 concluding 2012 and 170 including 2012-13).
Weatherholt, with her 8 singles victories thus far this season, has tied the record for Career Singles wins at 101 currently held by Sandra Noetzel from 1996-2000. With a win Friday or Sunday, she will replace Noetzel at the top spot on in the record books.
Stefanie Weinstein has notched 22 combined victories this season which pushes her into the top five of Career Combined wins (with 157) at the No. 5 spot, formerly held by Katarina Balan with 151 who now is pushed out of the top 5 to No. 6. Eight more wins would see her topple the No. 4 spot which is now held by Imke Reimers at 164 total who was pushed down from third place after being overtaken by Weatherholt this season.
Weinstein also has 10 individual doubles wins this season which bumps her to the No. 2 spot on the school's Career Doubles Individual Wins list at 79. This pushes former No. 2 Imke Reimers 74 to third and former No. 3 Sandra Noetzel's 71 to fourth, Weinstein's former mark. 12 more individual doubles wins would put her tied for first with former teammate Madeleine Geibert with 91, 13 would set the record and peak her at the top of the list.
Looking Ahead
Nebraska hosts No. 64 Wyoming on Sunday, Feb. 24 at 10 a.m. here at the Nebraska Tennis Center. Next weekend, the Huskers welcomes Kansas State to Lincoln before hitting the road to face their next Big Ten opponent, Iowa. The match against Kansas State is Saturday, March 2 at 1 p.m. at the NTC while the match against Iowa is Tuesday, March 5 at 3:30 p.m. in Iowa City, Iowa.

There is nothing better than experience, and the pitching staff on Nicholls State University's softball team is loaded with it.
There is nothing better than experience, and the pitching staff on Nicholls State University's softball team is loaded with it.
With seniors Ashton Bennett and Leah Andrus and junior Katie Moulder returning, the Colonels have what coach Angel Santiago said is "a three-headed monster" in the circle that worked more than 250 innings last season.
Add talented freshman Hannah Haydel to the mix, and Santiago is confident his rotation is good enough to compete with any opponent on the Colonels 2013 schedule.
Santiago will see first-hand how good his rotation is as the Colonels begin the 2013 season at Southeastern Louisiana's Lions Classic in Hammond on Friday.
Nicholls begins its season and tournament play against Southern University with the first pitch slated for 12:30 p.m. Friday.
The Colonels will also play St. Louis University at 3:30 p.m. on Friday.
On Saturday, the Colonels play Louisiana Tech and Jacksonville State before ending the tournament against the University of Delaware on Sunday.
The Colonels pitchers finished the 2012 season with a 3.83 team earned run average and a 14-31 overall record.
Santiago said his pitchers started slow last season, but with a full year in his program, he expects his staff to improve in pounding the strike zone.
"Most of the load will go on the three-headed monster. I expect their experience to lead the way in big games and in weekend games," Santiago said. "Whoever I put in to mix or match needs to get it done and give our defense the opportunity to get those outs. It is very important that they get out the gate fast. Our pitches started slow last year, but we did get better as the season went along."
While Santiago is expecting his veteran pitchers to lead the way, he isn't counting on Haydel to get a ton of work. Santiago said he wants to bring the former all-state performer from Hahnville High School along slowly and build her confidence.
At Hahnville, Haydel went 63-6 in her junior and senior seasons leading the Lady Tigers to the 2011 Class 5A state championship and the 2012 5A state title game.
"Hannah does a good job of mixing speeds," Santiago said. "She will be wet behind the ears, but we got some scenarios for her to be successful and start her career."
Bennett led the Colonels last season with an 8-10 record and a 3.13 ERA, while Moulder went 6-16 with a 3.43 ERA and 70 strikeouts. Andrus got two starts last season, while playing mostly at first base.
Bennett said all four pitchers have different styles and that should keep opponents off balance in the batter's box.
"Our pitching staff looks good, and we can mix it up a bit. I'm a sinker ball thrower, and Katie has a rise. Leah has a good change up and off-speed pitches, and Hannah has some good spin on her pitches," Bennett said. "Our expectations are like last year. I don't think we pitched horribly last year, We just have to improve more. We did all right, but we want to do more, and as a senior, I want to do more. I want to leave something behind so people can say, she had a good senior season."
The one thing the pitching staff wants to leave behind this season are frustrated batters. With better play from the defense, Santiago said his pitchers have enough experience and support to do just that.
"We are going to pull out Ashton and Katie again, and Leah will pitch, so we have some options pitching-wise," Santiago said. "We are going to find out quickly about our pitchers at Southeastern when the nerves kick in. I expect to have some hard-fought games, but we hope to make the pitches and plays to come out on top in these games."

Romeo Crennel removes himself as the Chiefs defensive coordinator
The Kansas City Star
In an effort to fix some of the many problems ailing the 1-7 Chiefs, head coach Romeo Crennel announced today that he has giving up his duties as the defensive coordinator, handing them over to linebackers coach Gary Gibbs.
The Chiefs also released starting cornerback Stanford Routt, signed last winter as a free agent, and signed defensive lineman Shaun Smith, a former Chief.
In relinquishing the defensive coordinator duties, Crennel said he was trying to eliminate the perception that hes spending too much time on that side of the ball and ignoring the offense.
I will continue to be in meetings sometimes, Crennel said. I will meet with Gary on a regular basis as well as I do with (offensive coordinator Brian Daboll and special teams coach Tom McMahon) to know what the game plan is and whats going on there. But Im going to spent more time with the whole team and less time with the defense.
We have a young team and some guys, the perception may be that Im a defensive coach , that Im a defensive coordinator, and I dont care about other parts of the team, which is not true. But their perception may be that. By my being with them more, I think they will see Im concerned about the whole team.
Routt was one of the Chiefs big off-season, free-agent signings. He replaced Brandon Carr, who left as a free agent for Dallas.
When the Chiefs signed Routt, who played seven years with the Raiders, coaches said they would have to integrate him into their way of doing things.
The transition was taking a little bit longer than I thought it was going to take, Crennel said, so we just felt like it was time to part ways.
He was trying to learn the system and he trying to adapt and making some progress at that but I needed it to be faster. I thought it was going to be faster but it wasnt happening so I made the move.
Routt missed last weeks game against San Diego because of what the Chiefs called an injured hamstring. Javier Arenas started in his place and Crennel said Arenas would probably start in next Mondays game against the Steelers in Pittsburgh.
Smith, who played with the Chiefs in 2010, takes Routts 53-man roster spot after signing a contract for the final eight games of the season.
The move gives the Chiefs depth at defensive line. Glenn Dorsey reinjured his calf in last weeks game against San Diego. Dorsey missed the previous four games and played against the Chargers before leaving the game for good with the injury.
Smith was one of the more popular players while he was with the Chiefs because of his outgoing personality. He played in all 16 games for the Chiefs in 2010, starting 10. He left after the season to sign with Tennessee, where he played last year.
Smith had not played in the NFL this season. He previously played for New Orleans, Cleveland and Cincinnati in his nine-year NFL career.

Construction to begin in spring, completion expected in fall.
A dream of a Pratt woman is about to become a reality.
"I've had this idea in my head, it seems like forever, but maybe only 15 or 20 years," Mimi Filley said Friday at a groundbreaking ceremony for an art museum to house the collection she and her late husband, Dr. Vernon Filley collected, and to be named in his honor.
The Vernon Filley Art Foundation was established as a not-for-profit organization several years ago, and began the process of finding a location and raising funds. After looking at several options, the Foundation and the Filley Family, Mimi and son, Dr. Warren Filley, selected the site south of the Pratt Public Library.
Sam Frey, with the Wichita architectural firm of Schaefer, Johnson, Cox, Frey, explained the plan to "build fairly simply a facility to house, preserve and exhibit the collection" and opportunities for "synergies" between the art museum and the library.
Builder Doug Knight anticipated that construction might begin in March.
The Foundation has set a budget of $600,000 with $200,000 allocated for furniture, fixtures and landscaping, leaving funds left to begin operation.
"Mimi, as the construction of this art museum progresses and opens later this year, the people of Pratt will realize what a tremendous gift you have given to this community," said Foundation chair Stan Reimer. "The art museum will make available some very fine art for our citizens and especially for the children and students of the area."

Rockford Register Star
ROCKFORD — A 24-year-old woman was found dead early Saturday in her residence in the 1000 block of 15th Street.
Savannah Johnson, the mother of two young children, is the city's seventh homicide victim this year.
A preliminary investigation by the Winnebago County Coroner's Office showed "possible gunshot and knife wounds," Chief Deputy Coroner Bill Hintz said.
Her boyfriend, Jamie Key, 26, who also lived at the 15th Street residence, was arrested Saturday after a six-hour standoff with police on charges of two counts of attempted first-degree murder.
A 15th Street resident of an upper-level two-flat said she heard a woman scream for help between 2 and 3 a.m. The woman said she went downstairs to check on the welfare of the tenant in the lower-level and confirmed she was fine.
The woman returned to her residence and 20 minutes later heard another scream followed by at least one gunshot. That's when the woman called 911.
It wasn't until after police arrived, about 3:10 a.m., that the woman learned the screams came from a neighboring two-flat.
Police found Johnson deceased and her children unharmed inside the residence.
About 7 a.m., police received a tip that the suspect was with a friend at 2208 Eighth Street, the old P.A. Peterson School, which has since been converted into a multi-unit apartment building. Police located the man in a lower-level apartment.
"Initially, he refused to come out," said Rockford Assistant Deputy Police Chief Doug Pann.
Numerous residents in the building were evacuated, and the entire block was blocked off by police.
"We brought in a team of negotiators, and we had a very successful resolution," Pann said.
Shortly after 1 p.m., Key was brought out in handcuffs and taken to the Public Safety Building for questioning.
Charges are expected to be upgraded.
Johnson was an employee of the Morning Glory Restaurant at 915 S. Alpine Road. Her co-workers plan to hold a candlelight vigil at 9:30 tonight outside of the couple's 15th Street residence.
Anyone with additional information about the crime is asked to call the Rockford Police Department at 815-987-5824 or Crime Stoppers at 815-963-7867.

- May 28:
- Longmont mom reunited with 3-year-old son who had been kidnapped
- Brother of Longmont kidnapping suspect says he doubts father's involvement
- May 26:
- Grandfather arrested, police continue hunt for father in kidnapping of Longmont boy, 3
- May 25:
- Longmont police continue looking for father accused of kidnapping son after shooting mom with a Taser, pepper spray
LONGMONT --Police arrested 51-year-old kidnapping suspect Monty Turner in Manitoba, Canada, at about 1:30 p.m. Sunday and recovered his 3-year-old son, Luke.
Monty Turner was arrested at the Casablanca Motor Lodge in Brandon, in the central Canadian province, on suspicion of kidnapping, burglary and assault after the FBI tracked his credit card use, according to a source familiar with the investigation.
Longmont Police Cmdr. Jeff Satur said Luke is in good condition and was with the Brandon Police Department's family services. Efforts are under way to reunite Brandy Turner with the child, he said.
"I don't have to live in fear," Brandy Turner told reporters outside the Longmont Safety and Justice Center on Sunday afternoon.
She said she spoke with Luke on the phone and he knows he is going to come home. She can't go to him in Canada because she does not have a passport.
"I don't know how much he understands," she said. "I am just so thankful that he is safe, that he is OK," she said.
According to police, Monty Turner forced his way into his estranged wife's home at 10:07 a.m. Saturday, shocked her with a stun gun and used pepper spray on her before taking their son.
According to court documents, Brandy Turner told police that she stepped outside to have a cigarette while Luke was eating breakfast Saturday morning. She found Monty Turner in the backyard, although a permanent protection order against him required that he maintain a distance of at least 100 feet from Luke Turner, according to the documents. He demanded to see the child and she asked him why he was doing this.
"You won't let me see him," Monty Turner replied, according to court records.
According to the documents, Brandy Turner went back into the home, shut and locked the door, and tried to call 911, but Monty Turner forced his way in, took the phone away from her and threw it on the floor.
Brandy Turner told police that Monty Turner was wearing a utility belt with numerous items on it. He threw her onto the floor in the living room and they started to struggle, where Monty Turner sprayed her in the face with mace or pepper spray. She reported that the spray was painful, but she believed he was "trying not to hurt her." She was able to get away from him, but she was thrown to the floor again in the kitchen, according to the documents.
Then she felt an electrical shock, apparently from a stun gun, on the left side of her abdomen. At this point, Luke approached and said, "Don't hurt my mom," according to the court reports.
Brandy Turner told police she relented at that point and said, "You can see him. Don't hurt him. Don't hurt him."
Monty Turner told her to leave the room so he could "love on" Luke. She said she did and dialed 911, but then saw Monty Turner leave with the boy on a bike. A neighbor attempted to follow in her car, but could not find them.
Satur told reporters on Sunday afternoon that investigators found holes drilled into the walls of the garage at the home, and Monty Turner might have been hiding there waiting to take Luke.
The FBI was called in to assist with the search, and an Amber Alert was issued a few hours later.
Police contacted Monty Turner's brother, who was hesitant to talk to them at first, but allowed that his father, Ronald Turner, knew about the morning's plan, according to records. He told investigators that Monty and Ronald Turner had been living with another relative in Denver and that they were likely all headed to Springfield, Mo.
Police launched a nationwide search for Luke Turner on Saturday, tracking clues about the father and son's whereabouts as far as Vernon County, Mo. There, the Missouri State Patrol found the car police believed the father and son were in along with Ronald Turner, 72. However, when troopers found the car, they found only Ronald Turner with it. He denied involvement, according to court records, but was arrested on suspicion of complicity to commit second-degree kidnapping and was jailed. Troopers located children's toys in the vehicle, according to records.
Luke had been returned to Brandy Turner in March after Monty Turner had disappeared with the boy last July. Because both parents shared custody at the time, Monty Turner was not arrested when police recovered the boy at Monty Turner's parents' Washington County property. Officers searching the property found the father and son hiding in the back of a box truck, police reported at the time.
Boulder County prosecutor Ryan Brackley said Sunday that his office will work with Canadian officials to expedite Monty Turner's return to Boulder County for prosecution.
"Deputies from our office supported the Longmont Police Department in their around-the-clock efforts to safely find Luke and apprehend Monty Turner," he said. "We are thrilled that the work of the Longmont Police Department has resulted in the apprehension of Monty Turner."
Brackley said Canadian officials can choose to legally expel Turner from the country or insist on an extradition.
"It is our expectation that we will bring Monty Turner back to Boulder County as expeditiously as possible," he said.

Terrebonne Parish is offering a $5.7 million incentive for a developer who will build a multi-family rental housing complex for lower-income people in Houma.
Terrebonne Parish is offering a $5.7 million incentive for a developer who will build a multi-family rental housing complex for lower-income people in Houma.
Households earning less than 80 percent of the area's median income could qualify for the homes, which are being subsidized by a Community Development Block Grant.
About 800 people are waiting to apply for affordable rental housing leases, said Darrel Waire, Terrebonne housing and human services director .
"That shows you there is a need out there for affordable housing units," he said.
Waire said the $5.7 million is a good incentive for a developer.
"If you look at the money we are putting in, and the additional money, there is a lower cost of funds for them," Waire said. "If a contractor goes through the conventional loan process, their interest rates are going to be higher."
Each proposal will be evaluated to determine whether it meets the wide range of criteria, which can be found on the Terrebonne Parish website, www.tpcg.org.
Developers must combine the grant money with other sources of revenue such as sponsors or loans, according to the criteria. Sponsors and developers must have previous experience developing similar projects. Applicants must provide evidence of at least two successful multi-family developments. And the location of the housing must be in close proximity to jobs and public transportation.
Waire said the parish is looking for proposals that make rental housing as affordable as possible without limiting quality.
"It's also better to use facilities that already exist — that just need to be renovated," he said.
There is no maximum project size but the minimum amount of units is 55.
The New Orleans consulting company GCR Inc. will assist the parish in reviewing proposals.
"It is important to provide workforce housing so you can meet the needs of the community and retain local workforce," said Rebecca Rothenburg, GCR planning manager.
In 2010, Terrebonne Parish commissioned GCR to conduct a parish-wide workforce housing needs assessment.
Based on that assessment, Rothenburg said, Terrebonne Parish demonstrated demand for affordable housing.
The parish hopes for construction to begin by next September.
A public meeting to review the process will be held at 6 p.m. Dec. 9 at the Terrebonne Main Library, 151 Library Drive, Houma.
The last day for proposal submissions is Jan. 31.

Camdenton R-III school officials were on hand Wednesday evening at the district's first informational meeting to explain and answer questions about the proposed no-tax-increase bond issue that's on the April 2 ballot.
What's going on
Camdenton R-III school officials were on hand Wednesday evening at the district's first informational meeting to explain and answer questions about the proposed no-tax-increase bond issue that's on the April 2 ballot. Chair of the citizens committee supporting the issue, Ron Duggan, provided food at the hearing from 5:30-7:30 p.m. March 13 at Hurricane Deck Elementary (HDE) in Sunrise Beach. The next briefing will be held from 5:30-7:30 p.m. Monday, March 18, at Osage Beach Elementary (OBE). Appetizers and refreshments will also be provided at this meeting.
What's the issue
The board of education is seeking a $43 million general obligation bond issue that can be done without a tax increase by shifting a portion of its operating levy from the capital improvement fund to debt service. Debt service levy is required for general obligation tax-exempt bonds that have lower interest rates than private financing. General obligation bonds require voter approval. The proposal would allow the board to save money by refinancing the remainder of the lease purchase certificates that funded the new high school, but the majority of the funding - around $35 million - would pay for construction of a new OBE at new location, a major renovation and expansion of HDE and security upgrades to all buildings.
Why it's important
Officials are concerned that the ballot language is confusing because it does not clearly explain that there is no tax increase needed to fund the debt service. The district just needs authorization to change part of its operating levy into a debt service levy. Because of the possible confusion, they are holding a series of hearings on the issue. The main goal of the construction projects are to provide equal educational adequacy among its elementary facilities and provide space for anticipated future growth. Both OBE and HDE received lower educational adequacy scores on a district-wide facility study. OBE is currently at capacity. Officials also say the expansion at HDE would allow the facility room for growth on the Westside as well as extend the life of Dogwood Elementary in Camdenton by expanding HDE's attendance boundary further south beyond the Hurricane Deck Bridge.

Geneabloggers Advent Calendar of Christmas Memories
prompt for December 23 asks about Christmas Sweetheart Memories asking if there were any Christmas engagements or weddings among your ancestors?
Christmas nuptials seem appropriate for a Frost ancestor, and thus we find that Charles Frost married Jane Elliot Pepperrell, widow of Andrew Pepperrell, on Saturday, December 25, 1717. A celebratory season for the family, the date of the marriage also happened to be the Christmas birthday of his aunt, Catherine Frost (Leighton), his father's sister. His parents, my 10th great-grandparents, Maj. Charles Frost I( 1631-1697) and Mary Bolles (1641-1704), had married on Saturday, December 27, 1673.
Born on Wednesday, April 17, 1678, Lieut. Charles Frost, II was the brother of my 9th great-grandmother Lydia Frost Pierce Greenleaf. He served as a deacon and a judge. Both he and his father were important figures in Maine's military history during the Indian wars and acquainted with the Pepperrell family on that account.
His wedding to Jane Elliot Pepperrell, daughter of Robert Elliot, Esquire, was his second marriage, the first being to Sarah Wainwright (1699-1714), daughter of John Wainwright of Haverhill, MA. Their match no doubt transpired through their family connections. Charles' brother, Hon. John Frost, and Sarah's sister, Mary (Pepperrell) had been married since 1702.
The wedding was held during the most popular wedding season (November through January) in colonial New England. The marriage ceremony was most likely performed by a civil magistrate, not a clergyman. Although marriage was believed to be ordained by God, it was not believed to be a sacrament as did the Church of England, and therefore it was defined as a civil contract. The brief ceremony would have involved no exchange of vows or wedding rings, nor would there would have been "kissing the bride". The marriage was probably solemnized at the bride's residence, or her father's as she was a widow, and followed by a merry wedding feast lasting a few days. A special wedding cake would have been served, rich with spice, alcohol, dried fruit and nuts – much like a Christmas fruitcakes than the light cakes we are accustomed to. Although a Christmas wedding may sound romantic, the holiday was generally not celebrated in New England until about 1785. (Colonial America to 1763, Purvis, Balkin, Infobase Publishing, 1999)
I suspect that my great grandmother, Lydia Pierce Greenleaf, did not attend the wedding of her brother as she was living in Newbury, MA at the time. It was far to travel, especially in the winter, and she had a multitude of children, step-children, and a new grandchild in her midst (my 7th great grandfather, Robert Adams).
After their marriage the couple lived in wealth at Sturgeon Creek (formerly part of Kittery, now Eliot) at the inherited homestead of his father. They had three children, two daughters named Jane who died in infancy, and a son named Eliot Frost. Each of them had children from their previous marriages, she having two daughters and he having nine children, all but one at home (his wife had died three years previous following childbirth and the loss of their infant son). Later, Jane's daughter Sarah Pepperrell married Charles' son Charles Frost III in 1723. His daughter, Sarah, married his sister Lydia's son, Charles Pierce. Charles Frost II and his wife, Jane, were married for seven brief years, as he died December 17, 1724 and mentions his wife and children in his will. Jane continued to live on the Frost homestead for the remainder of her life although she did marry again.

Gas Powered Games has laid of some staff shortly after the launch of their Wildman Kickstarter seeking $1.1 million for a new action/RPG. This is reported by Kotaku, who confirmed that the company has cut some staff with honcho Chris Taylor after getting wind of them through the grapevine. Taylor did not confirm the extent of the layoffs, however, so there are dramatic elements to the Kotaku report which remain speculative, as one source told them these were due to the Kickstarter underperforming, while other sources have told them that almost everyone who worked for the company was let go. There's a follow up to this on Gamasutra. "The studio is still operating, but we had to slim WAY down to conserve cash reserves," Chris Taylor confirmed for them, confirming some earlier comments that they are all in on Wildman: "We spent all the last dough that we've had, and the last several months working on it. So we're betting the company on it."

Wildcat Boulevard moved to Newtonia on September 28 for the annual Newtonia Battlefields 5K walk/run.
Wildcat Boulevard moved to Newtonia on September 28 for the annual Newtonia Battlefields 5K walk/run. I was telling someone about it later, and they asked, "How do you get 5K in Newtonia?"
"Well, you do have to walk part of the way in the country north of town," I replied.
Walking in farm country is different than walking along Neosho Boulevard. I enjoyed walking beside a harvested cornfield. The stalks were down and broken and the golden kernels from the ears taken to a granary or storage bin some place.
The Newtonia walk takes the participants past the Sheehy horse pasture. The Belgian horses they have are beautiful.
One of the other walkers said that one of the big Belgian horses came up to the fence and reared up on its back feet. I was sad I missed that spectacle.
A mixed herd of four horses in another pasture north of Sheehy's were running as I walked by, their manes flowing up over their backs. There is something about a horse running. The animals seem so smooth and fast, as if gliding over the ground.
The Newtonia 5K walk/run has been in existence for three years. I have bettered my time a minute or two each year. I wonder if I can improve next year?
Once again, Chuck Nodler came back and walked to the finish line with me. He runs the distance and then walks back to meet me to "cool off." He said he gets fewer cramps if he walks a while after running.
The overall winner was unable to stay for the closing ceremonies. He ran at Newtonia and then drove to Monett to run again. He is good and really works at running. He is tall and thin and looks like a runner. I understand he is a minister.
These walk/runs serve several purposes. They help raise money for a good cause. They allow people with like interests to meet and associate with each other. For example, I was able to meet and shake hands with one of the ladies who has walked at Neosho High School for several years. I have spoken to her and waved as we passed, but we never really communicated before.
Take a walk, vary your walks occasionally, use those signal lights, and see what you notice while passing along Wildcat Boulevard.

"In a dramatic move to quell parents' fears, Los Angeles school officials said they will temporarily replace the entire staff of an elementary school south of downtown Los Angeles, where two teachers have been accused of lewd acts against students," the Los Angeles Times writes.
KPCC's Pass/Fail blog says that "the district has never relocated an entire staff before." The changes at Miramonte Elementary School "will affect everyone from the principal to secretaries to teachers to custodians, [L.A. Unified Superintendent John] Deasy said. The staff will be moved to another school [where they will have no] student contact. Those who are not being investigated will continue to be paid, Deasy said." There are about 130 staffers being replaced.
As KPCC has previously reported, two teachers from the school have been arrested in recent weeks. Martin Bernard Springer, a second-grade teacher, is accused of "sexual misconduct with two girls who were 7-years-old at the time." Third-grade teacher Mark Berndt has been charged "with lewd acts involving 23 children."
Berndt and Springer are both in custody. Bail has been set at $23 million for Berndt and $2 million for Springer.
School officials tell the Times that "many, maybe all, of the current Miramonte staff will be returned to the school eventually." It adds that:
"Officials emphasized that no other educators at the school are under suspicion but that a bold act was needed to help remove the cloud over Miramonte. 'I cannot have another student tell me he is afraid,' Deasy told parents."
According to NBC Los Angeles:
"Come Thursday, Deasy said, the school will be restaffed and then some. Social workers will be placed in every classroom, and all staff and students from the past 30 years will be interviewed. Teachers from Miramonte school will be moved to another school that is currently under construction and has no students."
The school is closed today and Wednesday as it prepares for the staff change.
From NPR News, this is ALL THINGS CONSIDERED. I'm Robert Siegel.
And I'm Audie Cornish.
In south Los Angeles, Miramonte Elementary is closed to students today. The school, the district and the community are dealing with a still-unfolding scandal. Two teachers are in jail, accused of sexual abuse and lewd acts involving their students.
And some major changes are coming to the school, as NPR's Karen Grigsby Bates reports.
KAREN GRIGSBY BATES, BYLINE: Miramonte reopens on Thursday, and the brightly painted building will look the same. But, says Superintendent John Deasy, students will be greeted by an entirely new faculty and administration.
DR. JOHN DEASY: And we're talking, in this case, the entirety of the staff. That would be custodian to secretary, to teacher to administrator.
BATES: Drastic measures because of the scandal.
The school is located in Florence Firestone, an often-overlooked part of unincorporated Los Angeles, far away from the affluence of neighborhoods like West L.A. or Beverly Hills. Miramonte's population is almost 100 percent Latino.
Raymond Canal(ph) grew up in this neighborhood. At a recent protest, he says demographics may have everything to do with why nobody has paid attention to Miramonte until now.
RAYMOND CANAL: Where is Gloria Allred at? They touch a white lady's booty in somebody's political office, and Gloria Allred is there already. We got over 30 kids probably got molested, and all that, in here. And we're not doing nothing about it - nothing!
BATES: In fact, civil rights lawyer Gloria Allred might not yet be on the case, but lawsuits have been filed. Lawyer Luis Carrillo said the turmoil at Miramonte is the result of a school system that kept no running record of complaints that have been lodged against 61-year-old John Berndt and 49-year-old Martin Bernard Springer over the years.
LUIS CARRILLO: Year after year, parents were complaining. But the school district failed to monitor the classroom of these teachers, failed to monitor these teachers, and failed to properly supervise the children to protect them from abusive teachers.
BATES: Although there were no recorded complaints against John Berndt, there had been warning signs. The L.A. Times reports a former student saying she and two friends complained to their counselor about Berndt's lascivious behavior in the classroom, but they were told to stop making things up. The Times also said a father complained in 2008 that Berndt had taken inappropriate photos of his daughter.
Carrillo believes these reports won't be the only ones to surface.
CARRILLO: As a result of all these failures, we have all these tragedies. And I predict that we're just looking at the tip of the iceberg.
BATES: At a press conference yesterday evening, Superintendent John Deasy faced an auditorium of angry Miramonte families. Pale and obviously shaken, Deasy told them they were right to be furious.
DEASY: I'm a dad and a teacher, and I can't imagine anything more horrible than the trust that was violated of the students. I try to think about what I would say to my own child, and you struggle for words.
BATES: And, he said, two bad teachers shouldn't taint all the extraordinary ones he's met at Miramonte.
DEASY: I've also walked the campus, and seen astonishing teaching and caring and work inside that school - amazing work.
BATES: But, Deasy said, some hard steps will have to be taken to restore trust, including relocating all previous adults to an unoccupied school. They'll be placed on paid administrative leave until the end of the school year. And, like their students, Miramonte faculty and administrators will also receive psychological counseling, as the scandal is sorted out.
It's a lot of change to restore trust. But parents are already asking, is it enough?

In the 21st century, we have paparazzi, tabloids and Twitter to fill us in on the every move of Hollywood actors and directors. In the 1930s, however, the secrets of Hollywood were often just that — secrets. That is, until Ron Hutchinson took it upon himself to dramatize the events that led to the creation of the screenplay for "Gone With the Wind." The movie won eight Oscars in 1939, but months earlier it took three men five days to rewrite the script in a format that was worthy of these awards.

Kirksville's 182-pounder to wrestle for state gold; five Tigers seek medals, points for team trophy.
COLUMBIA, Mo. - Kirksville started day two of the MSHSAA Class 2 State Wrestling Championships with seven wrestlers still alive and sitting in a tie for third place in the team standings.
When it ended, the Tigers dropped to sixth place with 68.5 points and KHS is down to five wrestlers.
Those five are all guaranteed a medal of some sort, though only one will have a chance at gold.
"We get down here and it's a roller coaster, we win some big ones and we lose some so we have to deal with those emotions," said Kirksville head coach Kevin Powell.
Friday's evening session started off well for Kirksville, when Branden Beeler avoided elimination and won his match against Kyle McAllister of Affton by pin in a 126-pound wrestleback.
Beeler had lost to Samuel Brown of Oak Grove in a quarterfinal match, 7-2, earlier in the day.
"Coming into that match I wanted that win more than anything. All year I have wanted a state medal and now I have guaranteed myself one. So I have to get through my next match and help out my team. I have achieved everything I wanted to, so now I just have to step up a little bit more," said Beeler.
Beeler will face Cole Reynolds of Ste. Genevieve Saturday morning.
"With Branden staying alive on the bubble that was big for us and he is going to get a medal and all we have to do now is see what color," said Powell.
If Beeler had one of the most important wins for Kirksville, Makenna Cook had the most dominant.
It took Cook 31 seconds to advance into the 182-pound state championship match as he pinned Chance Barnes of Benton.
"Makenna knows what he likes and he hits it 1000 percent. It was pretty cool to see him slam that guy. I think he came up seeing stars," said Powell.
There is a notable difference between the Cook of the regular season and the Cook who is here at the state tournament.
"Coach Powell was talking to me on what I need to do to be successful, and I listened to him and was able to come out with a win. In the regular season I like to mess with guys, but at the state tournament it is strictly business. I came to wrestle to the best of my ability," said Cook.
Cook will have the morning session off as he awaits the Class 2 championship match.
Aside from those highlights, the Tigers did taste more defeat than they are used to.
Ethan Rentschler fell 7-1 to Chase Brennan of Monett in the 113-pound semifinals.
"It's hard and a tough one to swallow. I had my goal of reaching the finals. I wish I would have shot more and tried to get on top sooner," said Rentschler.
Rentschler will face Ethen Carlberg of Logan-Rogersville. If Rentschler wins he will then wrestle for third. With a loss he will wrestle for fifth.
Kylan Easley wrestled Levi Turley of Odessa in a 170-pound semifinal and lost by a 10-1 score.
"I went out and tried to do what I do best. He cut me on a few moves I probably shouldn't have used and I wasn't able to get my points back. I'm looking forward focusing on my wrestling, not his wrestling, and doing the things I know I can do," said Easley.
Easley will start his day Saturday by facing Bailey Wilson of Smithville.
Logan Summers was the final Tiger wrestler to hit the mat for the semifinals and went to sudden death overtime with Kyle Cook of Boonville before losing, 4-2.
"I kind of knew what he was going to do and I had practiced on how to defend that shot all week, but I couldn't execute properly. I made a mistake in overtime and it cost me the match. I have to just wrestle tough and work on staying mentally focused, because we waited for what seemed like hours down there," said Summers.
Summers will face Clayton Robinette of Smithville to start his day Saturday.
Powell hoped those who didn't reach the finals can regroup quickly.
"All these guys have wrestled tough and I would have liked to see them in the title match and I know they wanted to be there, too. They're just going to have to reevaluate their goals and go after that bronze," said Powell.
Oak Grove is leading the Class 2 team competition as they have piled up 143.5 points, the most of any team in any class at the tournament, and they have three wrestlers going for state championships Saturday.
KHS needs to climb into fourth place to avoid missing a team trophy for the first time since 2007. The Tigers and their 66.5 points are behind Brookfield and their 81.5 points and Cameron, who is in fourth with 85.5.
"We have to win every match from here on out and even then it will be a tall order for us to get a team trophy," Powell said. "I want these guys to leave the weekend feeling good about their efforts, and if they wrestle hard and don't make too many mistakes then I can live with that, too, because they have put a lot of heart into it."
Action that took place early on day two included Beeler taking on Tyler Brown of Oak Grove in the quarterfinals. Beeler lost by pin, which sent him into the wrestleback portion of the tournament.
Kade Proctor was in a win-or-go-home situation, and unfortunately for Proctor he lost, 2-1, to Cole Stoodhill of Odessa at 195 pounds.
Austin Dovin lost his first two matches of day two as he fell to Maliek Collins of Center by pin, and then fell 4-3 to Jeff Kinder of Moberly at 285 pounds to end his tournament.
Rentschler opened his day at 113 pounds with a 7-6 quarterfinal win over Drake Hoffman of Oak Grove.
Easley won his quarterfinal, 6-1, over Braxxtin Todd of Excelsior Springs. Cook beat Nathan Fagerstone of Cameron by technical fall, 15-0 in the 182-pound quarterfinals.
Summers was in the semifinals because he won earlier in the day beating Logan Nold of Clinton by pin.

What: Longmont Christian Men's Fellowship
What: Longmont Christian Men's Fellowship
When: 6:45 to 7:45 a.m. Wednesdays
Where: Longmont Senior Center, 910 Longs Peak Ave., Longmont
LONGMONT — A thousand meetings later, the men who attend the Longmont Christian Men's Fellowship say they're still learning.
"A thousand times we've done this and every time, I walk away saying, 'Wow, I didn't know that.' It's astounding to me how much I don't know,'" Jerry O'Brien said to the group on Wednesday morning.
In response, the group's founder, Don Carpenter, started to joke, "If you need us to keep reminding you —" and then he was interrupted by laughter.
The friendly razzing and banter keep the mood light at the men's group, which on Wednesday morning marked its 1,000th meeting. But the men often discuss and pray about serious issues: health, family, relationships.
"Most men don't go for help. They just stay who they are," said Carpenter, 66, who established the group in November 1993. "If you're brought up a certain way and if it's not the way you should be as a father or a husband or a worker and you don't know any better, maybe it takes someone who's been there to share the benefits of being different, being a different man, being more godly, being who God wants you to be.
Carpenter modeled his group after the Boulder Men's Christian Fellowship, which he started attending on the heels of an emotional divorce and a layoff from his role as a store manager.
"It lifted me up. I had a double whammy — a 23-year marriage and a 23-year career. They were two things in my life I thought were safe, I thought I could count on and depend on forever," he said.
With approval from the Boulder group, Carpenter started the fellowship in Longmont, with 12 men in attendance at the first meeting. Now, between 20 and 30 men meet weekly at the Longmont Senior Center.
Seated in a circle in a meeting room, the men introduce themselves, and then there's a scripture reading and a few songs. A featured speaker — Wednesday it was the Rev. John Thieme, senior pastor at Christ Our Savior Lutheran Church in Longmont — preaches on a topic tailored to men. The men share their thoughts and prayer requests and the meeting ends with group prayer. It's all over by about 8 a.m., leaving enough time for some of the men to get to work.
It's short, efficient and, as Carpenter points out, often therapeutic.
"The format allows men to open up in a safe environment. You're not going to be laughed at, made fun of or scoffed at," he said.
Because the group is nondenominational, he said, it creates a "neutral place" for men to share. John Conrads, who has been coming to Longmont Christian Men's Fellowship meetings for about 12 years, attributes the group's longevity to its diversity.
"Here, you come and see all these people who in the end believe in Jesus and in God," Conrads said.
The friendships have kept Roger Jorgensen coming back for about 15 years.
"This was a way for men to come together here in Longmont and to show their faith and to pray together and work together and support each other and honor Jesus," he said.
While Carpenter said he's seen prayers answered over the years, he shirks credit.
"I don't get credit for that. The group doesn't get credit for that. All the glory goes to God. It's just another avenue where men, who otherwise wouldn't, can go seek support or help. It just kind of has morphed into a place where you can go, where you can be listened to," he said.

Anti-Gay Slurs & Swastika Painted on Gay Fla. Teen's Home
A gay teen from Florida says vandals spray-painted anti-gay graffiti on his mobile home and the authorities are calling the incident a hate crime, the Pensacola (Fla.) News Journal reports.
When Jesse Jeffers, 18, of Pace, Fla., (in the Florida panhandle near the Alabama border) came home last weekend, he discovered that his trailer was covered with graffiti. The vandals spray-painted anti-gay slurs, graphic images and a swastika in and outside of his trailer.
"I look up and all I see the house ... (and I said) 'Oh my God,'" Jeffers told the newspaper.
The incident happened while Jeffers was out and the Santa Rosa County Sheriff's Office say the incident is a hate crime.
The vandals spray-painted a pair of woman's breasts on the outside of the teen's home and the phrase "God don't love you" with a heart replacing the world "love." The inside of Jeffers' home was also damaged, as the attackers spray-painted a swastika on the ceiling.
"Its not like 'OK, let's just spray paint somebody's house. Let's put all kinds of crazy stuff on it," Jeffers said. "What they said on the front door and everything was outrageous."
Although no one has been arrested, Jeffers, who lives next door to his mother, says he knows who caused the damage and claims the spray-painting is retaliation for an argument he had with friends last week.
"I hate it. I mean, if you want to fight somebody, you need to take it to their face and not do it to their house or personal property," Jeffers told the publication.
The teen told the Huffington Post that he is frightened to return to his home, however, and that he's been living with his mother. He also said the incident was caught on a neighbor's security camera and that police said warrants may soon be issued for the alleged vandals.
"I don't know if they're going to do it again," Jeffers told the Huffington Post. "Or if there are copycats. It's basically a small town with a bunch of rednecks."
Jeffers went on to say that this isn't the first time he's experienced anti-gay harassment. He claims he's been bullied since middle school but has tried to ignore it.
The teen added he doesn't have enough money to fix his home and doesn't have insurance that would cover the damage. Thankfully, the community has been supportive and has come to Jeffers' aid.
"There's a bunch of nice people out there that I didn't even know existed, that cared," the teen, who is trying to earn his GED certificate, said.
Huffington Post notes that a local LGBT-friendly church and other members of the community will help Jeffers remove the spray paint. Additionally, Jeffers has received donations from around the country since the News Journal reported the incident. Even commenters on the publication's story are offering support. One man, posted his contact information and said he will "put together a volunteer group to come help you clean up the spray paint. Hopefully as quickly as this next Saturday we can organize a work day."

"LG said today it was acquiring WebOS from Hewlett-Packard, with the intention to use the operating system not for its mobile phones, but in its smart televisions. With the deal, LG obtains the source code for WebOS, related documentation, engineering talent, and related WebOS Web sites. LG also gets HP licenses for use with its WebOS products, and patents HP obtained from Palm. The financial terms of the deal weren't disclosed." Completely and utterly pointless. Smart TVs are a dead end. The TV should just remain a dumb receiver for input - whether from a computer or console via cables, or wirelessly from a smartphone or tablet. Our phones and tablets are already smart so TVs don't have to be.

The Arkansas State Police is not releasing a cause or manner of death in the DePriest case at this time.
Update: According to Arkansas State Police Public Information Officer Bill Sadler there has been ongoing discussion between the case agent in the DePriest case, his supervisors and the medical examiner.
"However at this particular juncture the State Police is not prepared to discuss questions related to manner and cause of death until a preliminary report (is) forwarded to the case agent," Sadler wrote in an email Wednesday.
Look to the Daily Leader for possible updates in the case.
Update: The medical examiner report from the Arkansas State Crime Lab could come as early as Monday afternoon in the DePriest case, according to Bill Sadler, public information officer with the Arkansas State Police.
The Arkansas State Police have released the names in the shooting that took place just outside Stuttgart Wednesday night.
The bodies of Thomas DePriest, 46, and Debbie DePriest, 45, have been sent to the Arkansas State Crime Lab after law enforcement officials responded to their home on DePriest Lane at approximately 8:30 p.m. Wednesday. Arkansas County Sheriff Allen Cheek said his department responded to the area and pronounced the husband and wife dead inside their home.
Both individuals had a single gunshot wound.
Cause of death will be determined by the Arkansas State Crime Lab. The investigation has been turned over to the Arkansas State Police, according to Cheek.
Cheek further explained saying robbery was not a motive behind the deaths.
Bill Sadler, public information officer for the Arkansas State Police, said, as of Friday morning, there was no new information to release in the case and no results have been returned from the Arkansas State Crime Lab.

What: North American Handmade Bicycle Show
When: Feb. 22-24
Where: Colorado Convention Center, 700 14th St., Denver
More info: http://2013.handmadebicycleshow.com/
A bout 15 years ago, Boulder's Dean Bikes founder John Siegrist said he built an even 50/50 split of custom bikes and stock bikes. Now, Siegrist said, 95 percent of the 150-250 bikes he builds each year are custom made.
In the bike business, run-of-the-mill, status quo rides are no longer cutting it -- and local cycling manufacturers are taking note. Cyclists want something unique, built specifically for their bodies, preferred terrain and style.
"People are tired of getting the same old, 'www-dot-com,' watered down stuff that's all the same," said Chad Melis of Oskar Blues Brewery and REEB Cycles. "With the economy being rough, people are really coming to appreciate something that is handmade by a neighbor, by someone who is a part of their community and doing positive things in their community. We've seen an increased awareness of that across the country, in beer and bikes."
Dean Bikes and Oskar Blues/REEB Cycles are among several local companies attending the ninth annual North American Handmade Bicycle Show, a custom bicycle trade show hosted in Denver this year. Since its inaugural year in 2005, the show has grown from 23 exhibitors and 700 attendees to 170 exhibitors and 8,100 attendees in 2012 -- a sign that custom bikes are becoming more popular in the cycling community.
Handlebar Mustache Apparel, a Boulder custom apparel company that caters to cyclists, will attend its first handmade bike show this year. Brett Richard founded Handlebar Mustache Apparel in Memphis five years ago, but said it was "re-born" in Boulder when he and his wife Ashley moved here three years ago.
The company makes custom race kits, T-shirts and accessories, which are hand-designed and screen-printed by Brett and Ashley Richard.
"Other than us hand-sewing the blank, we do what these guys do with a handmade bike," Richard said. "We take a blank and bring it to life with our art."
Richard said as cyclists fall deeper and deeper into the sport, they want to ride or wear something unique -- much like custom cars, he added. By the time a person spends hours each week on their bikes, they're no longer content with pulling one off the rack.
"Part of a passion for cycling -- you want to have that effect where you pull up at a stoplight or pull up at Amante (Coffee) and people go, 'Oooh what's that?'" Richard said.
Another local apparel company, Boulder's Alchemist Custom Cycling Apparel will also attend the show. On the bike-building side, J.P. Burow and Paketa Bicycles will also attend the show. Burow purchased the Broomfield-based company seven years ago. Burow hand makes each bike using magnesium, a relatively rare bike-building material compared to steel or carbon.
Burow branched out into building tandem bikes, where he said he found his niche. A tandem bike sells for about $14,000, so Burow aims for selling around two each month.
For Paketa Bicycles, the handmade bike show is a chance to get the word out about purchasing a magnesium frame. The benefit of attending the show is that people can feel the frame rather than view a photo of it online. At last year's show in Sacramento, Paketa won Best in Show for alternative materials.
"People aren't familiar with it," he said. "They can get it, they can lift it up, they can touch it. It makes everything a lot more real for them."
Other local companies, like Mosaic Cycles in Boulder, will show off their alternative materials, too. Aaron Barcheck founded Mosaic in 2009 and builds titanium and steel bicycles.
Mosaic has just two employees, and Barcheck builds all of the frames himself. He started riding in his hometown of St. Louis when he was 11, and moved to Boulder to attend the University of Colorado.
"In the bike industry, carbon has been the standard for a while and people are getting tired of carbon," he said.
Mosaic builds bikes for Pro Peloton, a Boulder bike shop specializing in bike fitting. Co-owner Chris Soden said Pro Peloton's goal is to get every cyclist onto a bike that fits them -- their body, style, terrain, etc.
"You don't have to be a pro rider to enjoy that," Soden said. It's if you simply love to ride, to customize, enhance and tweak the ride instead of trying to cram yourself into a standard bike. It's the difference between a tailored suit versus the suit off the rack."
Pro Peloton sells custom and stock bicycles, Soden said, so they've been able to track the cycling community's interest in custom wheels. A self-described "foodie," Soden said more and more people are intrigued by custom or artisan products. At Pro Peloton, they have a little joke about custom bikes being like the farm-to-table movement for food.
"Ultimately whether it's good or bikes or artwork, there is that draw towards buying something local," he said. "In the bike world, there's a connection there when buying a bike where somebody rides it in the same places you ride, they're familiar with the terrain."

Husker Coaches Praise Pinnacle Bank Arena
Randy York's N-Sider
Last Thursday was the Grand Opening Ribbon Cutting ceremony for Lincoln's Pinnacle Bank Arena, and the two head coaches whose teams will be the downtown Haymarket area's primary tenants could not have been more impressed with their new basketball home after seeing it for the first time in at least two months.
"It's just unbelievable," Nebraska Men's Coach Tim Miles said. "It's well done, well thought out… great sightlines for the fans. I went and sat in the 300-level seats, 200- level seats and club level seats just to try and experience everything a fan might, and I can't tell you how impressive it was as a facility."
Husker Women's Coach Connie Yori was even more effusive in her praise. "I had not been inside the arena for 2½ months. The seats had not even been installed," she said. "It was jaw-dropping how much detail and planning has gone into this. It's just more than I would have expected … I was in awe … kind of stunned by the detail … every single facet is just beyond whatever I could have imagined.
"When you think of an arena's basic structure, you just don't expect all the options that are there – from our locker room that's modeled after the Hendricks Training Complex to the 'Chocolate Wall' and all of the new concession stands," Yori said. "We went all the way up to the top level, and I think every seat in the place is a great seat. If I wasn't coaching, I'd be sitting in the club seats. And all that parking … it's going to be so much easier for our fans who won't have to walk so far to get to their seats."
Women's Season Tickets Still Available
With thousands of fans attending the ribbon-cutting, lines formed afterwards for two reasons – 1) to buy women's basketball season tickets; and 2) to put names on the wait list for men's basketball season tickets, should they open up after a complete sellout six months before the opening tip. After the women open the regular season, hosting UCLA in a noon game on Friday, Nov. 8, the men that night host Florida Gulf Coast, which returns four starters from the first-ever No. 15 NCAA Tournament seed to reach the Sweet 16.
Miles could not resist envisioning the expected environment and atmosphere of a live game. "The arena is built so steep, I just think it's going to be a great place for our fans to cheer us on … this place is going to be a lot of fun."
We asked Yori if there are any other descriptions beside "jaw dropping" and "stunned" and "awe." True to form for a college Journalism major, she complies. "Perfect!" she said. "That's the word I should have used first because that's the word that fits best."

I love this stuff, use it all the time! The herbs taste so fresh, and the balance of herbs/garlic/pepper is perfect. The salt is very light, you will usually need additional sea salt added for most dishes.

I am a total herb/spice snob, and this is one of my favorites! The flavor is sooooo much better than anything you'll find on a grocery store shelf. It's great in herb-crusted salmon or added to any pasta sauce. Unlike most Italian herb blends, though, this one has salt, so just be careful before you dump it on pizza! Not that I did that... :)

Boulder's John Tayer has announced he will resign from the Regional Transportation District's board of directors to focus on his new role as the president and CEO of the Boulder Chamber, according to a news release.
Tayer, a 23-year Boulder County resident, was elected to the RTD board in 2006 and 2010 to represent District O, which encompasses western Boulder County. But in November Tayer was selected as the president and CEO of the Boulder Chamber, and Tayer said the new position wouldn't allow him to remain on the RTD board.
"My new role as president and CEO of the Boulder Chamber, while offering the chance to contribute to our community from a different perspective, is placing demands on my time that will conflict with my RTD Board obligations," Tayer wrote in a statement. "I thank my District O constituents for the chance to serve you for the past six years on the RTD board."
Tayer said while he acknowledged many Boulder residents might be disappointed by the lack of progress towards a northwest rail, he looked forward to the changes coming as a result of FasTracks.
"Though the near-term vision of rail service to the northwest region remains financially elusive, I am excited by the fresh look we are taking at the best future transit investment options for my District O constituents," he wrote.
Tayer -- who had two years remaining on his term -- will remain on the board until the Boulder County commissioners select a replacement. Barb Halpin, a spokeswoman with Boulder County, said the county is devising a plan to select a replacement.
Tayer began his new role with the Boulder Chamber in December after succeeding Susan Graf, who served as the chamber's chief executive for eight-and-a-half years and stepped down in May.

You may find this difficult to believe, but the Kardashians may not always be the most sensitive human beings.
Even more unbelievable, they aren't always totally aware of cameras looking their way.
During a tribute at Sunday's MTV Video Music Awards to Michael Brown, the unarmed teen who was shot and killed by a police officer in Ferguson, Mo., there appeared to be only three people not paying attention. They seemed to be texting or doing something on their phones, according to the New York Daily News.
Guess who?
Yep. Kim Kardashian and her younger sisters, Kendall and Kylie Jenner, were all playing with their phones during a moment of silence called for from the stage by rapper Common.
As you can imagine, the Internet noticed. Because the Internet knows all.
"An extra-special (expletive) you to the kardashian-jenner girls for texting during a moment of silence for ferguson," wrote user @AmandaRising.
"I'm sorry that the moment of silence for Ferguson was interrupting the Kardashian's social life. What complete a-holes," @EronisN wrote.
The Daily news reported that some joked the sisters had to get on Google to figure out what Ferguson was. Which, actually, may be exactly what happened.
"Kim kardashian in there like, 'Whose Ferguson?'" a user under the handle @Octobersvry0wn wrote.
None of the Kardashian-Jenner girls responded to the criticism on their Twitter accounts by Monday morning, the news reported.
Police officer Darren Wilson shot and killed 18-year-old Brown on Aug. 9 in Ferguson. Protests have rocked the town since.

Local military veterans who help other veterans aren't asking for much on Veterans Day today, but if you have a driver's license and can pass muster, John Kline could use your help.
Kline, a Vietnam vet, is a volunteer who coordinates rides in a van from Rockford to the William S. Middleton Memorial Veterans Hospital in Madison, Wis., every weekday that the hospital is open. He's looking for more drivers.
Yes, there is a Veterans Affairs outpatient clinic in Rockford, but it isn't equipped to provide the complex kinds of medical treatments some veterans need. So they go to Madison.
The van typically carries six or seven riders a day, Kline told me, up from three or four last year. The Chevy Express van holds 12 people, "but at nine, we are crowded," Kline said.
There are half a dozen pickup points, from near the BMO Harris Bank Center in downtown Rockford, which leaves at 6:45 a.m., to a location near a Mobil gas station in Rockton. Veterans have appointments at the VA hospital in Madison at various times, and the bus often returns in the late afternoon or even early evening.
The number of volunteer drivers who take turns transporting veterans: 15. "They are vets and people in the community who want to give back to veterans," Kline said. Each driver must undergo physical and security checks and orientation.
"Most of the people who ride the van can't get up there any other way," Kline told me. "Some don't have cars. Some are homeless."
After Kline returned from Vietnam, he said, he got a good job with insurance benefits at a local aerospace parts maker working with databases. Some Vietnam vets weren't as fortunate. And now that the veterans are in their 60s and more health issues are presenting themselves, they're taking more advantage of health care services the VA provides, he said.
In the past three years, the van has provided rides for 400 to 500 veterans. About 35 are frequent users of the van, Kline said.
The Winnebago County Veterans Association leases the van from the Veterans Administration, and the VA pays for gas and vehicle maintenance. The van is not wheelchair accessible.
Rodney Holloway, 66, of Rockford, a Vietnam veteran, last year rode the van to the Madison VA hospital every day for more than six weeks when he was battling bladder cancer.
At 7:15 a.m. on Oct. 30, he was waiting for the van at the Veteran of Foreign Wars Loves Park Post #9759 on Windsor Road, Loves Park. He had a groin problem.
"It saves me gas money, and I don't like driving that far; I'm getting older," Holloway said.
Call 815-964-6166 to arrange a ride to the Madison VA hospital if you're a veteran.
Call that same number if you'd like to volunteer to be a driver. Please. And thank you.
