WICHITA, KS – The National Baseball Congress World Series celebrates its 79th edition, which will be held July 26th – August 10th at Lawrence-Dumont Stadium.
This year organizers will hold an all skills baseball clinic on August 6th to help encourage and inspire kids ages 7-14 to hone their skills in one of the nation's favorite pastimes. The "NBC Stars of Tomorrow" Clinic is powered by Launch Laser™, and sponsored by the Greater Wichita Area Sports Commission and Balls and Strikes.
"The clinic will be a great addition to this year's NEW World Series format," stated Casey Walkup, Tournament Director. "We are excited to have Launch Laser involved with the clinic. Their product not only simplifies the learning process it also makes it fun for hitters."
Launch Laser is a visual training aid that came on to the market this spring. The device attaches to the knob of the bat and helps to instruct the fundamentals of proper swing mechanics, which include loading the hands into the launch position and tracking the swing path during the hitting process. Launch Laser will hold free product demonstrations at their booth during select premiere games at the NBC World Series.
Registration for the NBC Stars of Tomorrow Clinic is $35 and includes three hours (9:00 am – noon) of instruction from NBC World Series players, a Launch Laser, a general admission ticket to the Tuesday, August 6th NBCWS games, and an lower box ticket to the Saturday, August 10th Championship Night.
To go along with the clinic, the Greater Wichita Area Sports Commission will also be hosting a buyout night the evening of August 6th. Free general admission tickets are available at Wichita area QuikTrip, Papa John's, Wendy's and Warren Theatre locations.
For more information and to register for the clinic visit NBCBaseball.com. Videos and training drills from the pros are available by going to LaunchLaser.com.
Launch Laser™ is a visual aid for instructing proper swing technique. The device attaches to the knob of a bat and emits a laser beam onto the ground providing an instant visual reference point as to where the hitter's hands are in conjunction to the angle of the bat.
Founder, Hap Dumont developed the National Baseball Congress in the midst of the Depression. The first NBC World Series tournament was held in 1935 at then newly built Lawrence-Dumont Stadium and brought young prospects and ex-major leaguers across the country together to play.
This year's 79th Annual NBC World Series will feature a new format, with The First Week and Championship Week, designed to provide a more fan friendly 16-day tournament and allow the best teams the National Baseball Congress has to offer the feasibility to come compete in Wichita.

QUIP: Over the years, I have been blessed with some VERY old tablecloths. Some date well back into the 40's and older and, they have really cute, retro patterns that help date them even more.
I have this one that has gorgeous, crimson red and navy blue artwork splashed akk across it's white cotton cloth, making it quite stunning on a dinner table.
The pattern is so bold, in fact, that I failed to notice that red wine had spilled on it during a dinner party - a grim fact that was not brought to my attention until I pulled it out of the dryer and noticed that it was now spattered with purple-blue blotches, the mere sight of which took my breath away.
"If only I would have seen the wine spots BEFORE I laundered it," I said under my breath.
TIP: It goes without saying; I should have carefully examined the cloth before washing it. However, since I did not, I had to resort to finding my dear, departed friend, Kathi's list.
She was expert at removing red wine stains and her list advised in situations like this to drench the spots in Greased Lightning – a de-greaser found at dollar stores. She recommended letting it set for a bit and then washing as usual. If spot was still there, repeat until gone.
I recently heard that white wine will remove a red wine stain –haven't tried it though – and, mixing Dawn dishwashing liquid soap with hydrogen peroxide then placing it on the spill will lift it right out.
Kathi also had some great tricks for what to do right when the spills occur.
She said you can cover the spill with either generous amounts of an artificial sweetener or salt. Let it sit for several minutes to absorb the wine then, using a table knife, gently scrape the sugar substitute or salt onto a piece of paper and discard.
I have also learned that you can sprinkle a powder, like talcum or cornstarch on the fresh wine spill. When the powder dries use a soft brush to brush the powder away - and hopefully the stain with it!
Club soda is an old trick, which requires blotting the spill gently to remove any color, which may take some time before all traces of the stain are gone.
I had some Greased Lightning and I am VERY happy to report...It got the set stains out in one single application!

In the pre-Civil War United States, Solomon Northup, a free black man from upstate New York, is abducted and sold into slavery. Facing cruelty at the hands of a malevolent slave owner, as well as unexpected kindnesses, Solomon struggles not only to stay alive, but to retain his dignity. In the twelfth year of his unforgettable odyssey, Solomon's chance meeting with a Canadian abolitionist will forever alter his life.
Sorry, no theaters are available within -1 km of postal code 25309 that are playing the movie "12 Years a Slave" on Monday, 25 June.Please try:- extending your search range, or - entering a new postal code, or- choosing another date.If after trying different options and your movie still does not appear with showtimes, your movie may not be playing nearby for the options you chose.
At the center of 12 Years a Slave is Solomon Northrup, whose story will likely be sold to you - by those boasting of this movie's power - as the pinnacle of human tragedy. A free black man living in New York during the first half of the 19th century, Northrup is kidnapped, taken from his wife and children, transported below the Mason-Dixon line, and sold into slavery. Where he remains for the following 12 years. Intelligent, compassionate, sophisticated, and ostensibly closer in upbringing and psychology to any of us watching the feature than the lifelong slaves we'll meet along the way, we're suggested to identify immediately with Chiwetel Ejiofor's lead character, to assign our heightened sympathies to his new sweep of tragedy, to feel that what happened to Solomon is beyond the traditional horrors of this dark period of American history. But Solomon's familiarity doesn't serve to separate him from the rest of the men and women robbed of their lives and humanity in 12 Years a Slave, but instead to escort us right into the midst of this universal nightmare. It places us among the enslaved souls - it's not just in body that they are prisoners - more effectively than any other film that has attempted to emanate these themes.
Spanning Solomon's decade of enslavement with domineering patience, the movie is able to make everything in this corrosive old world so vivid. Hurdling between hope and hopelessness, survivalism and principle, Solomon (called Pratt by his slaveowners and fellow workers) struggles to figure out how to make it not only through but past his plantation days and return to his family. It is a mission that never quite reaches impossibility to him as the time crawls on, as he is dealt the sort of tragedies the man he once was - a violinist, community fixture, and father of two - seemed happy to refrain from imagining, while men and women miles to the south of him were living within them.
Fox Searchlight
This will that we never see quite fade from Solomon's eyes comes from his having something very real to hope for, to live for. It is, more than the characteristics with which we can comfortably identify, what makes him 12 Years a Slave's hero. But as piercingly sad as Solomon's story is, his is not the most tragic. Through Solomon - who is not only an effectual confidant to us but to many other characters in the film as well, slaves and slaveowners alike - we are invited into a world entirely barren of his sort of drive: the heart of fellow slave Patsey (Lupita Nyong'o), a dutiful young woman and the target of her master's (Michael Fassbender) unrelenting lust. In Solomon's story, we cry over the idea of him never returning home to his family. Of him incurring tortures so malignant as to eviscerate the very man he was at the beginning of our time with him. In the story of Patsey, with whom we spend quite a good deal of time once she is introduced upon Solomon's transport to Edwin Epps' (Fassbender) plantation, we cry because there is hardly any spirit left to destroy. And trust me, the crying is inevitable.
In a film filled with scenes of physical torment so mortifying that they'll promise to rob you of breath and a settled stomach, it is a testament to director Steve McQueen and his cast that the elements that truly stay with you are the internal horrors. Young Patsey's destitute heart. Even the pangs of Epps, starved for any semblance of self-worth as he claws at the souls of himself and every living being around him. There's nary a corner of this film that is not drenched in the bottomless sorrow intrinsic of the era. The very fabric of 12 Years a Slave is hopelessness.
And at the center of that is Solomon - the river of hope coursing through this broken terrain. Although we'll face his narrative with reflexive gasps, it is his story to which we align because we can see hope in it. Something to fight for, something to live for. It is because of Solomon, because of Ejiofor's ma

A good chunk of Colorado women's basketball practices are spent working on boxing out and getting rebounds, but on Sunday the Buffs learned something.
"We obviously need to work on it a little bit more," head coach Linda Lappe said.
The 20th-ranked Buffaloes took No. 7 California down to the wire, but failure to snag key rebounds in the final seconds cost CU in a 53-49 loss at Coors Events Center.
CU (11-2, 0-2 Pac-12) pulled within 51-49 with 16.7 seconds to play. Cal (12-1, 2-0) then missed six of eight free throws in the final 16 seconds, but CU couldn't capitalize.
In fact, Cal was just 5-for-14 from the line during the final 4:24 and 11-for-26 in the game.
"We had more opportunities than we can ever expect," said CU senior Chucky Jeffery, who had a team-high 13 points and eight rebounds. "We have to bear down and box out, that's all it comes down to. They gave us opportunities, even down the stretch. We've got to get tougher."After a Brittany Wilson bucket pulled CU within 51-49 in the closing seconds, the Buffs fouled Cal guard Layshia Clarendon, who then missed both free throws. That's exactly what the Buffs wanted, but Cal got the rebound, Clarendon was fouled again and then went 1-for-2 to extend the lead to 52-49.
CU raced down the court and hoped for a backside screen and a Lexy Kresl 3-pointer in the corner, but Jeffery lost the ball out of bounds with 5.2 seconds to play.
"We didn't quite get that far (to get the ball to Kresl) and even if we had, it wouldn't have been a great screen on the backside," Lappe said. "We were rushing a little bit too much."
That forced the Buffs to foul again. This time, Cal's Brittany Boyd missed both free throws, but the Bears got the rebound again and drilled a final free throw to seal the game.
Cal out-rebounded the Buffs 43-34, with 17 of the Bears' rebounds coming on the offensive end.
"To me it was the difference in the entire game," said Lappe, whose team came into the game out-rebounding opponents by an average of 11.9 per game. "We've been telling our team that, yes, we're a pretty good rebounding team, but we're not good enough. We've been doing rebounding drills every single day because we knew what was to come. We knew Stanford and Cal were going to be first (on the Pac-12 schedule). We knew they were the best two rebounding teams."
Offensively, the Buffs struggled throughout. They made just 35.2 percent of their shots (19 of 54) and went through two long stretches of poor shooting that killed them.
Midway through the first half, CU went through a stretch of 7:31 in which it went 1-for-10 from the floor, and had as many turnovers (three) as points.
Despite that, the game was tied at 24 at halftime, because CU's drought coincided with Cal scoring just four points in a stretch of 8:52.
The Buffs opened the second half strong, taking a 32-30 lead on an Ashley Wilson bucket. After that basket, however, the Buffs went 2-for-17 from the floor in the next 11:46. Cal never got the lead above eight points, though, because of CU's defense.
"Defense is the most important part of the game," Jeffery said. "That's the main reason we were in the game. There were a couple stretches where we weren't scoring, but they weren't scoring either. We realized we weren't getting shots, but we had to do it on the defensive end, because it could have got out of hand. We were getting stops and that's what it takes and once our shots started to fall, we could get back into it a little bit."CU held Clarendon, Cal's leading scorer, to just five points. The Buffs also shut down 6-foot-2 forward Gennifer Brandon and 6-3 center Talia Caldwell, holding them to a combined four points, all by Caldwell. That duo came in averaging a combined 23.7 points per game.
None of what CU did, however, was enough to earn its second top-10 win of the season.
"We've got to know that the things that are going to get us beat, we have to get better at, like rebounding," Jeffery said. "Like coach said, we can't do everything well except something; you have to do everything well when you play a top 10 team in the country. That's just how it is."
The Buffs, who lost 57-40 to No. 4 Stanford on Friday, were held below 50 points in back-to-back home games for the first time since the program's second and third home games ever, in 1975. Those games were held at Balch Fieldhouse. ... Arielle Roberson had 11 points and six rebounds for the Buffs, while Rachel Hargis had six points, seven rebounds, three blocks and two steals. ... Boyd went down with a knee injury early in the first half, but scored 13 of her game-high 15 points after returning to the floor. ... The Buffs have lost 19 in a row to top-7 teams and are 9-40 all-time against teams ranked that high. ... CU is 1-10 the last 11 times it has been out-rebounded. Four of those games have been against Cal. ... CU leads the all-time series 5-4, but Cal is 4-0 against the Buffs since the start of last season. ... Cal improved to 10-2 in its last 12 Pac-12 games away from home, with the only losses coming against Stanford.

A jury has found Lawrence Crouch guilty of first degree murder in the fatal shooting of Mary McGrath, a Broomfield auto repair shop employee killed last year.
The jury found Crouch guilty of first degree murder of McGrath and attempted murder of Amber Carr, a front desk clerk at the extended stay motel in Lakewood where he lived.
He was also found guilty of attempted arson and possession of explosives or an incendiary device.
The jury reached a verdict at 11:30 a.m. today after three hours of deliberation.
Crouch's face remained expressionless during the verdict. Family and friends of McGrath passed around tissues to wipe their eyes.
Crouch will be sentenced at 1 p.m. today in Broomfield district court.
Crouch pleaded not guilty, even though an arrest affidavit indicates he told investigators that on Oct. 12 he killed McGrath, a former roommate, for "stress relief."
In the arrest affidavit, Crouch told police he planned McGrath's shooting for at least a year before carrying out the act, but picked Oct. 12 because he was out of money and had nothing left to lose.
He told police he wanted to kill McGrath because she took advantage of Bob Wisdom, the owner of East of Sweden, where McGrath worked and the shooting happened.
Those who knew McGrath described her as kind and without a mean bone in her body.
Crouch was also found guilty in the attempted murder of Amber Carr, an employee at the extended-stay motel where he lived at 7393 Jefferson Ave. in Lakewood.
He was found guilty of plotting to throw a makeshift bomb behind the motel's front desk and burn down the motel, but backed out of the plan when Carr was not at work on Oct. 12, according to an arrest affidavit.
McGrath, Crouch and Wisdom were former roommates.
Crouch told police he planned to kill Carr, the motel employee, because her accounting practices were "horrible."
After Crouch was arrested on Oct. 12, the Adams County Bomb Squad was called to search his car for possible explosives. Witnesses said he possibly had a bomb in his car. The bomb squad detonated an unidentified object found in the car.

Dear Ella,
My workplace has become a very depressing place to go every day. From the moment I walk in to the moment I leave, I am constantly bombarded with stories about illnesses, bodily functions and miracle cures.
If it's not the employees, it's the clients who feed off the conversations the employees start. The biggest topics of the month were the cold that never left, the thyroid demon and let's not forget the biggest culprit of all – gluten intolerance.
I'm at the end of my rope! I feel like standing on a table and screaming "Shut up!" Doesn't anybody discuss movies or travel, or even politics and religion, anymore?
It's not like I work at a medical facility, so this topic should not be front and centre. I, too, have had my share of health issues, but I don't have the need to run every drug or treatment by everyone who will listen.
Believe it or not, I love my job and I care about these people, but I get sucked into this warped world of hypochondria, which makes me feel awful by the end of the day.
Is there anything I can say to politely get the point across that this is not normal?
Sick of the Sickies
Dear Sick of the Sickies,
The constant bombardment of health issues can be overwhelming, but it's not uncommon especially at this time of year – cold and flu season. Working in an environment where the discussions are constantly negative can affect your own mood, by actually leading you to feel the effects physically.
It's natural that when people are feeling off, they need reassurance, as well as a little sympathy, and perhaps empathy. For instance, when a client first arrives, chances are they will greet you by asking, "How are you?" That leaves the door wide open for the toxic conversation to begin.
You've heard the saying "Misery loves company," right? You may not be the type that likes to share, but some people like to "compare notes," and they take comfort in knowing they're not alone in their health challenges. Even if they're not sick, most people feel good about supporting someone who is. Others, like yourself, prefer to be private about personal health matters.
When you work in an environment with people, you must be tolerant of many different personalities. Often you spend more time with your colleagues than with your own family. Chances are you're not going to change your colleagues, but what you can do is try to change the subject. Health is universal, and anyone can identify with the topic. That's why people talk about it.
Before anyone has a chance, steer the conversation to something that others can relate to. There are lots of interesting subjects to discuss, such as news events, family, vacations, sports, hobbies etc. As long as your conversation is enticing and the topic broad enough, others can identify with it and join in.
This is not going away. You need to change the way you internalize these conversations. Either join in, change the subject or find a way to access your happy place.

I tend to go overboard on holiday weekends because of the drinking. I would love for you to follow me on Twitter and I will have a huge reveal when I hit 20K followers. You can follow me @entylawyer
This celebrity at one point reached A list as far as celebrity goes. She was getting acting roles and she thought she had made the transition from celebrity to big time actress. At one point she had three networks all chasing her and wanting her for a show. What does she have now? Nothing. No endorsements, no club appearances, nothing. The only thing left is a few bucks and trying anything to get back where she was just a short time ago. She has discussed writing a book and blowing the lid off the marriage of one of Hollywood's squeakiest celebrity marriages. She had sex with the husband almost everyday for two years. When that ended so did her career for the most part. She used to have endorsement deals. Gone. She was a terrible actress but because of her body kept getting roles. She thought she should be considered a serious actress so refused anymore sexy roles or anything topless. The offers dried up and when she realized she that she was ok with being sexy if that was the only way to get work it was too late. Producers had moved on to the next person in line. Bad decisions with boyfriends, especially the one who had no idea she was seeing the married guy. Now our celebrity has been trying to get stories leaked about her or showing up half naked in places she knows paps will be just to get a photo taken of her or someone to talk about her. She misses the fame more than anyone you have seen. To have so much and have it taken away.

KANSAS CITY — They were flat and maybe a little full of turkey, stuffing and press clippings.
The Broncos were missing energy and missing field goals. They were missing tackles, missing blocks, mis-hitting punts and missing assignments.
What the Broncos did have here Sunday on a sunny, comfortable, late-November afternoon at Arrowhead Stadium was the better team and a real good quarterback in Peyton Manning.
Uninspired as they may have been, the Broncos defeated the inspired but woeful Kansas City Chiefs, 17-9. The Broncos solidified their large lead in the AFC West by winning their sixth in a row, improving their record to 8-3. Kansas City is locked in the AFC West basement with a 1-10 record after their losing their eighth straight.
The flow of this game, though, made it difficult to tell which team is going where at regular season's end. The Chiefs had head coach Romeo Crennel demonstratively chewing out his offensive coordinator, Brian Daboll, a couple times early in the game. Yet in their dysfunctional manner, the Chiefs were competing.
From the start, the Broncos didn't seem with it.
Playing against former quarterback teammate Brady Quinn, the Broncos were gouged early by Kansas City's running game that was mixed with short, move-the-sticks passing.
The Chiefs took a 6-0 lead on two Ryan Succop field goals in the first quarter and it stayed that way until late in the half when Manning finished off a 94-yard drive by hitting tight end Jacob Tamme for a 7-yard touchdown pass 18 seconds from intermission.
The Broncos have now scored with 6, 1, 0 and 18 seconds left in the first half this season.
But when the Broncos opening second half drive ended with Matt Prater's second missed field goal, there seemed to be a prevailing feeling that either the Chiefs could pull off the unlikely upset, or the Broncos would have to get nasty, tough and efficient to avoid getting beat.
Chiefs running back Jamaal Charles moved the ball deep enough into Broncos territory for a 49-yard Succop field goal that put Kansas City ahead, 9-7, midway through the third.
But Manning mixed uncanny accurate passes with Knowshon Moreno runs to put the Broncos back on top. A beautifully thrown 30-yard pass from Manning to Demaryius Thomas down the left sideline put the Broncos up 14-9.
The Broncos didn't clinch the game until the first play after the 2-minute warning when Manning completed a third-and-long deep down the left sideline to Thomas, who on the play went over 1,000 yards receiving for the season. Soon after, Prater kicked a field goal making it 17-9.

- Second former CU-Boulder student takes plea deal in pot brownie case
- Former CU-Boulder student pleads guilty, apologizes for pot-brownie prank
- Arraignment delayed for two CU-Boulder students accused in pot brownie case
- Second CU-Boulder student charged with 18 felonies in pot brownie case
- CU-Boulder student charged with 18 felonies, suspended from school in pot brownie case
- CU-Boulder student hospitalized after eating pot brownie: 'I felt violated'
- 2 CU-Boulder students arrested for feeding pot brownies to classmates, professor
It's not often that a prank leading up to finals week -- hardly a unique collegiate experience -- would land the pranksters in jail facing a number of felony charges.
But when a prank is actually a crime, that's what can happen. And we side with the authorities who are rightfully treating it very seriously.
Thomas Ricardo Cunningham, 21, and Mary Elizabeth Essa, 19, are accused of feeding fellow students and their professor marijuana-laced brownies without their knowledge or consent. Eight people out of the classroom of only about a dozen got sick -- three of them, including the professor, wound up in the hospital. Complaints included unexplained dizziness, an anxiety attack, and fading in and out of consciousness. Add to that substantial fear: The victims initially had no idea why they were feeling that way.
Thankfully, the number of people who seemed to dismiss this alleged crime as a simple prank seemed few and far between. And some of them seemed to be having foggy memories of a Woodstock-era pot experience that is unlikely to be replicated today. Office of National Drug Control Policy reports that THC -- the active ingredient in pot -- has increased significantly over the years. Average THC levels were less than 1 percent in the mid-1970s; by 2002, average levels were more than 6 percent. And that's not including marijuana defined as potent.
While moderate marijuana use by adults is considered safe, it can be extremely dangerous -- even coma-inducing -- for people taking certain powerful prescription medications. In addition, people who are high, feeling slow or in an altered state shouldn't drive a car. From a public safety standpoint, Cunningham and Essa are so lucky that this reckless stunt didn't turn out much, much worse.
So this alleged crime, which has nothing at all to do with Amendment 64, nonetheless provides teachable moments about that measure. If you were previously abstaining from marijuana because it was illegal but would like to experiment with it now, have a frank talk with your physician or psychologist if you are taking any medications, especially if you are being treated for pain or any mental condition.
The state task force that is exploring ways of implementing Amendment 64 must keep public safety top of mind. State legislators seem to be optimistic that a too-drugged-to-drive rule will be possible in the next session, and starting with that element early on is a welcome move.
Both of those issues -- drug interaction and the possibility of unsafe drivers -- are topics to discuss as we move forward with legal recreational marijuana use. It goes without saying that no one -- not marijuana users, alcohol drinkers, or the many people who choose to abstain from either or both -- should ever be drugged against their will or without their knowledge. It's recklessly irresponsible and disrespectful at best, and potentially very dangerous.

the Camera editorial board

Let's start our musings about the Leavenworth High School girls' basketball program.
Let's start our musings about the Leavenworth High School girls' basketball program.
* I wish I could've been sitting in the Topeka Expocentre yesterday cheering on our Leavenworth High School girls' basketball team at the opening round of the 5A state girls' basketball tournament.
These young women did so much for the advancement of the city's basketball program through the time they donated to the Bitty Basketball program. They received their just rewards as they made their first appearance at the state tournament since 2003.
Congratulations to the coaches and girls. You are a wonderful example to the entire Leavenworth community as to what dedication and hard work can accomplish.
* The Indoor Ironman has concluded and I want to recognize our finishers.
In addition to Bill and Margaret McNamee, our finishers included: Sherry Adkison, Deborah Hahnenkamp, Bill Hammac, Chris Hayes, Tom Koch, Al Mueller, Beth Scanlon and Lucy Yother.
This is a great accomplishment and I hope that more folks are able to get involved next February.
* Wow, we had some great volleyball matches this week. Although losing the match, 25-16, 23-25, 15-10, Six Pack was still able to hand the Drillers their first game loss. What a great match it was though.
Then, Boom had to fight to win their match 25-13, 25-21 against the Dominators. It was a fantastic evening of volleyball. In the league standings, the Drillers (5-0) remain undefeated and are closely followed by Boom (4-1).
* On Tuesday night, LV Street Elite had six individuals score in double figures, led by Brandon Dougherty's 30 points, as they defeated Zeck Ford 96-48.
Behind the scoring of Rodney Chambers, 25, and Mark May, 22, Bomb Squad was victorious over Prime Time 80-62.
Studdard handled Oh Yeah! 75-42 behind Josh Cathey's 30 as Carl Roberson added 21. Cody Mohan (Oh Yeah!) scored 20 points in defeat.
* Bobby Hauver's 32 points, Derek Helton's 21, Will Johnson's 13 and Cody Wente's 11 did all of the scoring in Purple Reign's 77-60 win over Young Sign Company. Glen Lemke, and Joe Thorne each scored 23 in defeat for Young's.
Dru Wheatcroft's 16 points led Mutual Savings to a 48-40 victory over the Wheaton Warbirds — Jake Kavanaugh had 16 as well in defeat. Jordon Glenn hit for 21 as the Angry Ewoks squeezed by 2711 47-43. Brent Sellers' 11 points led the way for 2711.
* Just a reminder that the standings for the adult leagues are under the Scoreboard section on B2 in the Times' print edition.
* Adult men's basketball championship week will be April 16-18. If there are first place ties in either or both divisions, the play-off game(s) will be played on April 16.
The championship game will be played on April 18, 7:30 p.m. On the championship night, we will have a 3-point shooting contest beginning at 6 p.m. Individuals may register to participate between March 20–April 11.
The registration fee will be $10. Only 30 individuals will be accepted into the contest and only players on a league roster may enter the contest. Prizes will be awarded to the top five placers.
* As our youth basketball program winds down, we have one more Saturday remaining for our 3rd-4th grade girls, I want to thank all of our referees who worked very hard to improve themselves each and every week.
They worked hard to make the game experience as enjoyable as possible for our little boys and girls.
Our officials were: Joe Allison, David Babcock, Donald Bratton, Cammie Clark, Matt Galley, Dave Hager, Mike Keese, Lisa Lay, Carah Medill, Kenny Parr, Adam Regan, Drew Sachen, Ramon Salas, Charlie Stillian, Phil Tinder, Dave Wallsmith, Ricky Weber, Michael Wiesner, and Tony Williams.
In addition to Leavenworth, Lansing and Fort Leavenworth, our officials drove in from Atchison, Gardner and Olathe to make our children's basketball experience as positive as they could possibly make it. Thank you all!
* Youth baseball/softball registration will begin on Monday. The registration fee is $50 per child.
Anyone who resides in the city limits of Leavenworth and is receiving public assistance may contact the City of Leavenworth Parks and Recreation Department to see if they qualify for the scholarship program offered through the City of Leavenworth Parks and Recreation Department.
Registration will close at 8 p.m. April 25 at the Riverfront Community Center. Late registrations will not be accepted after that time.
* Also the First City TRYathlon in approaching fast. This is an awesome opportunity for children between the ages of 6-15.
It provides the children with an opportunity to complete a modified version of a triathlon event. Every child receives a medal for completing the event.
The event will be hosted at the Riverfront Community Center beginning at 8 a.m. on April 14. Packet pick-up is at 7 a.m. the morning of the event.
* Peter Cottontail brought Harvey the Rabbit, of course Ms. Anderson was the only person to see Harvey, by the office the other day. Anyway, he told me to remind everyone that Sagasu Family Martial Arts has partnered up with the City of Leavenworth Parks and Recreation to host the largest Easter egg hunt ever this side of Timbucto.
The hunt will be at the 10th Avenue Park, just south of Warren Middle School, on March 23. Activities will begin at 1 p.m.
* We have more adult softball planned for this summer than Carter has pills. All of the softball leagues will play under the ASA rules.
For men, we have the three regular softball league divisions and the baby boomer over 50 league.
For women, we have a regular softball league and the baby boomer over 40 league. We will have a coed church league — every player must be an active member of the church they are representing and no Ltc. Ruiz, you may not play for every church team.
Varsity Sports is sponsoring a wooden bat league. This is an all-comers league for men and women, but we will play straight ASA softball rules, not coed.
In each league, we will accept eight teams only. Leagues that have divisions, we will have eight teams per division. Registration is March 15–April 29. The 10-game season will begin on May 23.
* What is this? That's correct — adult coed 4-on-4 sand volleyball is coming to the sand volleyball pits at David Brewer Park this summer.
Registration is March 15–April 29. The 10-game season will begin on May 21. This may be our most exciting and interesting addition to our adult programming since adult coed kickball was added a few years ago.
* We will host an adult men's summer basketball league. In this league, we are only accepting eight teams.
Games will be played on Thursday nights at the Riverfront Community Center. Registration is March 15–April 29. The 10-game season will begin on May 23.
Tabor Medill is the recreation supervisor for the Leavenworth Parks and Recreation Department.

When it comes to reducing greenhouse gas carbon emissions, a personal contribution can be daunting, especially when it involves lifestyle changes as deeply rooted as what we eat. Food is integral to who we are, but it turns out that those who make a relatively small dietary shift benefit our planet's ecology.

The tenor and tone of the beginning of the administration of Gov. John Hickenlooper and the first session of the 68th Colorado General Assembly have been decidedly positive and should give Colorado citizens a good feeling about how business will be conducted over the next couple of years.

If you have been following my wife's challenge, then you know that she has been 20+ levels ahead of me for quite some time and that my chances of catching up to here were very slim.
Well, a couple of nights ago, after a hard push to frenzy level my paladin, the challenge finally came to an end!
The screen shots pretty well speak for themselves:
Since you obviously can't read the nonexistent text on Fyn's picture, we ended the challenge at Lexington 64, Fynralyl 80.
My screen shot was taken with the MultiShot addon, which automatically takes a screen shot any time you level up, reach an achievement, or defeat a boss. Boss fights do not get screen shots until combat ends, so you don't have to worry about the fight getting a lag spike right after the boss is down but all of his adds are still trying to eat your face.
We knew that my wife was going to "ding 80" Monday night, so I had her go download an auto-shot mod as well, but we could not find MultiShot via our normal addon searches, so to save time we took the one that we did manage to find called DingRecorder. DingRecorder only takes screen shots when you level up, but it also takes away your interface before it does it, I assume for nice clean picture. Getting a shot of the level was all well and good, but it missed her achievement since it took it right when she leveled, and does not trigger off of achievements.
So while we did get a picture of the level itself, we missed getting that shiny achievement notification in there for her. For this reason, we dubbed DingRecorder "DingSuckitude" instead. Not because it's particularly bad, but just because we missed a shot we were hoping to take based on a different addon. Oh well, suck…er, such is life.
What Happened, Lex?
As I mentioned before, the one shot I had at catching up to her was that she planned to respec over to Holy instead of Prot once she reached Outlands, which would slow down her leveling. As I also mentioned before, Dual-Specs pretty well screwed me on that front, allowing her to quest as Prot but run instances as Holy. And that's exactly what happened.
So in the end it did not come down to focused leveling with AoE grinding thrown in versus focused grinding along with questing. Instead it became a competition between two people doing the exact same thing, with the victor being more dedicated to strictly leveling as fast as possible.
I don't mind losing a challenge to my wife, so I'm certainly more proud of her for doing so well in such a short amount of time than anything else. I knew the second dual specs came along that I no longer stood a chance.
Grats, Fyn!
You earned it!

Down the phone line from her home in Toronto, Jane Lockhart is almost shouting to make herself heard.
"I'm so sorry about that," she hollers over the caterwauling of an ancient feline. "He's old and he forgot that I fed him this morning."
She tries, again, to talk about the importance of colour in a home and what it says about what you want from life. Not surprisingly, for the star of W Network's Colour Confidential, Lockhart's 1940s-era home is a study in muted tones and quiet corners.
"You see?" she says, laughing over the cat's yowling. "I have lots of pets and people who are really sloppy in my life. When I get home, I need my house to be frig-gin' quiet! So I can't have things around me that irritate me."
None of which would be found in her latest furniture line, Jane by Jane Lockhart, being sold through Sears Canada. The all-Canadian collection, which is customizable in colour and fabric, is modern, durable and, above all, comfortable. It's a feature she insisted on when designing the sofas and occasional chairs.
"No. 1 is comfort," she says. "That sounds ridiculous to say, but you'd be amazed at the number of people who go to buy a sofa and sit on it in the winter with a coat on. If you're going to watch TV, you'll need one with a higher back and longer, lower arms, in case you lie down. It's those elements that add comfort."
So, too, does colour. Homeowners "seem to be beiged-out" and are rejecting the '90s fascination with taupe and brown, she says, and instead are turning to white palettes with crisp contrasts of grey.
Colourful hues are also making their way back into homes, she says, through furnishings and decor.
"Colour tends to follow economic shifts. People go through something like a recession and they express their needs for something different in the objects around them. They'll buy a turquoise vase for that reason. It's a way of creating a new identity or feeling."
And which colour you choose depends a lot on personality, lifestyle and even age. Lively red cushions set against a grey and white palette, for example, "can be stimulating and active, since red comes to the eye faster than blue. It gives off energy and excitement." (Interestingly enough, chickens also find red exciting: U.S. company Animalens Inc. makes red contact lenses for chickens that decrease their aggression and boost egg production.)
Biology aside, culture has a role to play, too. Considered the No. 1 favourite colour of children worldwide, "blue is a soothing, relaxing colour," she says. "That's true in every single culture and country because we all live under the same sky."
Equally eye-catching is yellow, which is chosen by people with a higher IQ. "But the other thing to think about is that you create high contrast with yellow. It gives a room energy. Whether we realize it or not, we find colours that match our vibrations. It's also got a historic background in terms of decorating and decor, in British and French design. Plus, yellow is a happy colour because it has that reflective quality and any ambient light will be reflected in that space."
So, too, is pink, at least according to the now-famous Baker-Miller study in the 1980s of a bright, obnoxious "drunk tank" pink. In that study, aggressive prisoners were put in pink holding cells; their heart rates lowered along with their blood pressure and they immediately calmed down. But, warns Lockhart, "eventually you get used to the colour and the effect wears off within 20 minutes."
Whatever accent colour you choose, however, there are a few good rules to follow. Limit your palette to three to five hues on a main floor, taking into consideration the flow of tone from one room to the next, which will help "make the space larger and more connected," she says. "The more colour you have, it becomes visual clutter."
Instead, punch colour throughout your space on small pieces of furniture and soft furnishings, leaving the larger pieces to remain neutral. And whatever else you do, avoid cluttering with too many visual cues.
"Less is more. Buy things that matter to you and you can change with a few accessories. The more you have, the more you have to manage. There are few things in life that make you happy," she says, "and your home should be one of them."

I�ll get this out of the way right off the bat: I still miss Franz Nicolay. The Hold Steady�s never quite had the same orchestral, E Street-style wall of sound since the keyboard player departed in 2010, and that�s true of their latest release as well. That said, Tad Kubler and Steve Selvidge�s joint efforts on guitar lend �Teeth Dreams� (Razor & Tie) a fuller-fledged, shoulder-rattling rock vibe that well suits the group�s latest collection of sardonic stories about often drugged-out sad sacks.
And speaking of that rogues gallery, there�s no one on �Teeth Dreams� who�s quite as vivid as the OD�ing couple from �Chillout Tent� or the slumming college girl of �One for the Cutters,� and that�s probably the point. The characters frontman Craig Finn is warbling about this time around are a little longer in the tooth and more acutely aware of their encroaching lameness than their predecessors: They�re getting too old for this &%$#!, and they know it.
Especially the women: Finn continues to paint vivid pictures of complicated female characters. Those include the girl with �blood on the bed and the lights in her eyes� from �The Ambassador,� a slow burner named for the dive bar where she�s crashing (�wasn�t much diplomatic there,� he wryly notes). Then there�s the one from �Big Cig� with �burns on her skirt and smoke in her eyes,� and the girl for whom �collecting boyfriends isn't such a healthy hobby� from the chugging �Wait a While.�
It�s always fascinating how Finn manages to imbue his songs� troubled women with at least a modicum of dignity, while at the same time betraying the male narrators� own petty jealousies -- and his exasperated talk-singing seems more perfectly matched than ever to the material. Overall, �Teeth Dreams� continues The Hold Steady�s streak as rock�s premier chronicler of a generation that doesn�t realize the party�s over.
LISTEN TO: �Runners High� and driving lead single �I Hope This Whole Thing Didn�t Frighten You� are classic Hold Steady rave-ups.

One a series of stories about local manufacturing.
While Kirksville resident Cliff Hollenbeck enjoys seeing his own locally-produced and labeled honey on shelves at the grocery store, it's his bulk sales that make up the majority of his buyers, mostly in 55-gallon drums at a time.
And while 55 gallons of honey may seem like a mind-boggling amount, in all the Kirksville honey farm outputs upward of 30,000 to 50,000 pounds of the golden amber each year.
"Beekeeping is just like the family farm," Hollenbeck said. "Very few of the younger generation are doing it. To do what we do, it's got to be in your blood."
Located in Kirksville, Hollenbeck Honey harvests honey and honey comb from his series of bee hives across the region.
Shoppers may find the honey in area grocery stores, but about three-fourths of the product is sold to re-packers and bulk outlets in 55-gallon drums. In all, the farm produces 30,000 to 50,000 pounds of golden amber a year.
Since 2008, when he experienced a downturn in the honey market, demand is up and supplies are good, Hollenbeck said.

In one of Carthage's best-ever relay performances at the KU Relays in Lawrence, Kan., Jordan Dangerfield, Cameron Priester, Eli Seay and Ben Southwick combined to finish fourth in the sprint medley.
In one of Carthage's best-ever relay performances at the KU Relays in Lawrence, Kan., Jordan Dangerfield, Cameron Priester, Eli Seay and Ben Southwick combined to finish fourth in the sprint medley.
The Tigers finished the event with a time of 3:39.43 after Dangerfield and Priester ran 200 meters, Seay ran 400 and Southwick finished the final 800.
"It's something I always felt we could do pretty well at," Carthage head coach Andy Youngworth said. "The sprint medley is kind of an oddball event. It's run at a lot of college meets but it's not a high school event in Missouri. For several years something has gone wrong every time we've run it, but this year it went almost exactly like I thought it could. That was the highlight of the weekend for our running events."
Carthage was seeded 11th in the sprint medley, with 21 teams competing.
Sierra Barrett's eighth-place finish in the girls' triple jump was a highlight of field events for Carthage. Barrett reached a distance of 35-04.5 feet, while Carthage freshman Kim Teed placed 18th with a jump of 33-06. Barrett was seeded 20th, and Teed 21st.
"Sierra jumped pretty close to her career best to get to the finals," Youngworth said. "I was really happy for her. She's got really good technique. She's got to do a little bit of work on one of her phases but she's ready to jump 36 or 37 feet, it's just a matter of putting it all together. Kim did pretty well. She was really nervous, so it was good for her to get that experience under her belt and that's going to help her down the road."
EJ Morgan's jump of 44-02.75 in the boys' triple jump earned him 11th place after being seeded 18th.
"It was important for him to get a good jump, and his third was his best jump," Youngworth said. "He moved pretty far up the ladder of seedings."
In the girls' long jump, Vanessa Pawlak placed 14th with a distance of 16-01.75. She was seeded 32nd.
"She came within two or three inches of making the finals," Youngworth said. "She was nervous and had a head wind and her first jump wasn't very good, but her second jump was decent and on her third one she really got a good jump off. If she had one more jump she might have been able to jump 17 feet and get to the finals."
Bryan "Bubba" Burns placed 16th in the boys' discus and 27th in the shot put. Burns threw 153 feet, 10 inches in the discus, and reached 48-00.5 in the shot put. He was seeded 35th in the shot put.
"His throw in the discus is a pretty good throw if you compare it to this time last year," Youngworth said. "He just needs to have a little more self confidence and get back to work. He threw pretty well in the shot. He was close to his season's best."
Southwick also competed in the 800-meter run, where he placed 18th with a time of 2:00.89. He was seeded 34th.
"Ben Southwick probably had as good a meet as we've ever had there," Youngworth said. "He had a pretty big load on him and he competed hard."
Emily Goeken placed 12th in the girls' discus throw after earning the 21st seed.
Carthage placed 14th in the distance medley relay, with Hunter Blount, Brandon Lindsay, Carter Hensley and Southwick finishing with a time of 11:11.85.
The Tigers finished 22nd in the 4x100 relay preliminaries. Eli Seay, Tyler Ralston, Dangerfield and Priester posted a time of 44.72.
Blount, Hensley, Lindsay and Southwick finished the 4x880 yard relay in 8:30.78 to place 21st.
Carthage placed 35th in the 4x400 relay, with Dangerfield. Ralston, Southwick and Seay finishing in 3:38.96.
In the girls' 4x100 meter relay, Carthage took 28th place with Megan Taylor, Barrett, Amy Keller and Pawlak finishing in 53.63.
The Tigers placed 29th in the 4x400 girls' relay, with Keller, Teed, Taylor and Pawlak finishing the race with a time of 4:22.93.
In the 4x200 meter relay, Teed, Barrett, Keller and Pawlak finished in 1:52.95 to place 22nd.
"Our 4x100 relays really ran well," Youngworth said. "Our exchanges were not the best they could be but we're getting better. The girls' 4x400 and 4x200 ran season's bests for the year. We just need to keep working on those events. We ran well but we need to do some speed work.
"Overall it was a great weekend," he said.

According to new research, recess might be as important to kids' academic experience as reading, math, and science and that regular running around and playing activities have an extremely positive impact on behavior and grades.
I am not surprised by this at all -- what I often worry about is that kids are spending too much time studying and doing homework and not enough time just playing around.
What do you think?

Its easy to tear down those who are hurting and easy to accuse those who hurt you.ReplyDelete
If we can actually love as Christ loves the Church, then we will all be able to share our pains easily and our burdens will be lighter.
Toke, Maje and all the focus here... may God heal pains, settle spirits, lead and instruct on the parts to thread...
P.S. If you cant help or encourage then dont tear and rip whats trying to mend and who is trying to heal. xoxo.

BELVIDERE — Five members of a Belvidere parent group called Parents Advocating for Students and Staff, or PASS, spoke before the Belvidere District 100 Board of Education on Monday night to present the results of a survey regarding special education programs.
Former school board member Les Ried said the results raised "systematic concerns."
Few teachers have received district-sponsored training in the implementation of special education programs, according to the results of PASS's survey, which worries members of PASS who fear that the board of education will fail to follow through with promises of reform.
Since January 2014, PASS member Lisa Whitcomb said the board has not communicated to the public any steps it has taken to correct violations committed by the district in previous years, especially regarding Response-to-Intervention education programs.
PASS members' requests to formally present the results of their survey before the board were denied, and instead five advocates reported sections of the results to the board during public comment, which limits the time each citizen is allowed to speak to three minutes.
One question of the survey asked: "Have you received district sponsored training in the implementation of (Response-to-Intervention programs) to be used in your classroom?" Of the 168 teachers who responded to the survey, 73-percent said "no."
Whitcomb said the state limit for the amount of time students can spend in Response-to-Intervention programs, which pulls them out of one class to receive extra instruction in an another, is 18 weeks, but in the past, some students in the district had attended programs for as long as two years.
Students have also been promoted to higher grade levels despite receiving failing grades. According to the results of the group's survey, 81-percent of the teachers polled said there were students in their building who failed a grade but were promoted to the next level anyway.
Belvidere District 100 Superintendent Michael Houselog said in a report during the meeting that the board has requested a "focused monitoring" review from the state board of education to determine areas in special education implementation where the district needs improvement. Focused monitoring is typically assigned by the state to specific schools and requests to receive an review are rare, according to Houselog.
"I'm glad they requested focused monitoring," Whitcomb said, but her concern about whether the board will improve what PASS members called "the three Cs," communication, compliance and consistency, remains.
