BOWLING GREEN, Ky. (3/11/13) – WKU now offers a new coaching course through Independent Learning (IL). PE 343 - Baseball Coaching teaches the fundamentals of coaching, schedule making and rules & problems in training and conditioning.
Joel Murrie, a 30-year baseball veteran, will teach the course online via Blackboard. Murrie holds the record for leading the WKU Hilltopper baseball team to 815 victories, the most ever by a WKU coach in a single sport. He has earned conference coach of the year honors four times and was the NCAA South Region Coach of the Year in 1980. He is in his seventh year of professional baseball with the Los Angeles Angels as an amateur scout.
Assistant Director of Distance Learning Amanda McGaughey said that adding the course through IL means that students will now be able to register any time on demand and take the course in a self-paced online format.
"Independent Learning is dedicated to providing a variety of courses in a self-paced platform to students, and we are excited to offer this course through IL," McGaughey said. "We are also honored to have an instructor with such impressive baseball experience. It's one more opportunity for WKU to offer outstanding courses to students with busy schedules and additional obligations other than school."

A 7-year-old boy from Apex is taking his love of elephants to another level by raising money for them.
Ethan Paxton loves elephants, plain and simple.
"I just like them and I think they don't deserve to be treated meanly and they need to be saved," said Ethan.
And while most children cherish their stuffed animals, Ethan spends his time cherishing real-life elephants.
"He's always had an obsession with elephants, it kind of started with this stuffed elephant he's had since he was a baby, and it grew into an overall obsession with anything to do with elephants," said Katie Paxton, Ethan's mother.
His passion progressed into a lofty goal.
"I'm trying to save them and give them things that they need," said Ethan.
Ethan has learned about the dangers poachers pose to wild elephants. Last year he asked his first grade teacher what he could do to help. She suggested he visit website for The Elephant sanctuary in Tennessee. It's the biggest natural refuge in the country for rescued elephants.
Ethan says he watches them on the website's Elecam when he comes home from school.
"When they are playing around, they also have emotions and they can smile, and when they wave their trunks up that means they're happy and it means good luck," said Ethan.
So to help the animals he loves, Ethan is making and selling bracelets with elephant charms through his Facebook page Ethan's Elephant Project to pay for items on The Elephant Sanctuary's wish list.
In just a week, he raised nearly $200. First on the wish list: dried cranberries.
"He picked 25 pounds of dried cranberries because that's a treat that elephants like to eat. So, I think that was $136, so now I think we're working on his next goal," said Paxton.
Ethan is hoping to raise enough money to buy the elephants more treats, one bracelet at a time.
"We didn't want to look back and think he could have done something amazing as a child and we didn't help him do that," said Paxton.
Each bracelet costs $6. You can learn more about Ethan's Elephant Project here.

Eleven people were injured in a crash Friday afternoon involving a Bermudian Springs High School bus and a pickup truck near East Berlin, Adams County.
Emergency responders told abc27 News the pickup driver lost control on a wet roadway and crashed head-on into the bus, causing it to overturn onto its roof just after 3 p.m.
Officials said 33 students were on the bus. Ten were taken to hospitals for treatment of minor injuries such as cuts and bruises, but none was seriously hurt.
The driver of the pickup truck appeared to have the most serious injuries, but none were believed to be life threatening, according to an official on the scene, who added that the worst injury to a student was a cut on the head.
Kyle Brown, a Bermudian Springs junior who was on the bus, said the students were panicked and screaming.
"I have no idea how no one was seriously injured," Brown said. "Miracle, is all I can say."
The crash occurred on Route 94, known locally as Carlisle Pike, at the intersection of Round Hill Road in Reading Township.
Police said charges are pending against the driver of the pickup because the truck tires were bald and he failed to operate the vehicle at a safe speed.
"It was a bad accident," said Officer William Ceravola of the Reading Township Police Department. "Thirty-three children on the bus, no seatbelts, and it's on its roof. It could have been much worse."
Carlisle Pike was closed between East Berlin Road and Lake Meade Road.

A - Cloudy orange color. White head fades to a film. Small bits of lacing.
S - Sweet and light bubblegum yeasty smell and some earthy wheatiness. Also some mild hoppy bitterness.
T - Taste starts out with a light crispy bite, quickly into some earthy wheat & sweet yeast flavors. Some sweeter banana flavors come in briefly before a lightly bittersweet finish.
M - Light to medium consistency, with light carbonation.
D - Very easy drinking, nothing outstanding or terrible. I love hefes and this ones local so I'll be drinking it a lot this summer.

This beer has a small head but it stays for good and gives off an amazing odor of sourdough bread. What an awesome thing for beer to smell like. The taste is super-tangy and has a strange mix of ester and phenol flavors that are kind of recognizable but come together in such a way that its far from "classic" hefewiezen taste. Banana stands out the most but I wouldn't say it dominates. This is definately different and probably the best domestically- produced hefe I've had yet. I drank it in like 15 minutes.

12 ounce bottle, with no freshness dating. Pours light orangy brown, cloudy, large bubble head,settles down to next to no head. Lemony/soapy nose. medium bodied and fairly low carbonation. Flavor notes I get are, lemon,coriander, soap and a moderatly malty base. Not a great tasty finish, sort of an ending wimper, middle of the road wheat. Doesnt do much for me.

Thanks to ZAP for this offering...
A clear, golden yellow w/ a small amount of white head forms...very little lace.
Not much in the nose...a touch of banana and subtle sweetness.
Taste is decent...a touch drier than most heffe weizens I've tried to date. Slightly bitter lemons up front w/ very little spice...finished quite dry.
Mouthfeel is a little thin and more carbonated than I'd like to see for this style...still refreshing and one I'm glad to have tried.

Serving glass: Poured from bottle into water glass at work.
Appearance: Cloudy orange with a foamy head.
Smell: Some wheatiness with strong bananas and some cloves.
Taste: Mostly semi-sweet wheat malt, with nice balance of bananas and clove. Light hop spiciness at the end. Slightly watered down for a Hefeweizen, but pretty good overall.
Feel: Moderate carbonation, fairly light, dry finish.
Drinkability: Very light and easy to drink, but also a little light on flavor. I prefer other Hefeweizens, including Schell's, which is also local.
Edit: I changed this review quite a bit on May 1st, 2010, because this year's batch was better than last year's, which was weaker than normal.

The beer was a nice cloudy golden color with a short-lived white head. The aroma was wheaty sweet with spiced banana. The taste was more of the same with a little more citrus than the aroma. The mouthfeel was good with high carbonation, yet it was smooth. It is very highly drinkable and quite refreshing. One of the better American Hefes

Poured from 12 oz. bottle into a Duvel tulip glass.
Appearance: Cloudy yellowish orange with a big white head that has some good retention and lots of lacing.
Smell: Sweet aroma of banana, yeast, clove, and wheat. Hints of lemon zest and spices.
Taste: Banana, yeast, and clove up front followed by spices and lemon. Lots of bready sweetness throughout. Hints of bubblegum in the finish. Nice combination of sweetness and tartness.
Mouthfeel: Medium body with a moderate amount of carbonation. Creamy and smooth.
Overall: A solid take on a Hef from Summit.

Very cloudy light-gold color, 1/4 inch head that I was expecting to be a litle bigger and rolling in character. Nice fresh aroma, a little nutmeg. Neutral mouthfeel, a little lacking in flavor but leans toward the spiced banana estery with just a slight tartness at the end. Better than I remembered it, not off-putting or sour but not super flavorful. Certainly easily drinkable in quantity. Other than the Grand, this is my least favorite Summit brew.

Appears a cloudy unfiltered golden orange complemented by a foamy white head. Aroma has hints of spices, very mild banana notes, overall very nice just faint. In the first sip a sweetness mixed with all of the yeast tones, and this beer presents a good amount of hop flavor that I found uncharacteristic of a hefeweizen. This was almost like an Americanized version, a wheat ale if you will. Light to medium bodied with a pretty thin moutfeel overall. Pretty drinkable just nothing spectacular, I would like to try this one in the bottle to see if it differs.

Yet another Summit single for me to try. It seems like I've been drinking Hefes nonstop, although i thought that i didn't really care much for the style. It poured a cloudy golden color with a 3 finger nice white head. Notes of yeast and bannana are heavy in the nose. Taste has a little grassy fill soon followed by a kick of lemony citrus. A slight bannana aftertaste follows. Certainly better than the tabernash hefe that I had last week, but I've definately had better.

Appearance: A typical cloudy pale yellow Hefe Weizen color. Nice head with good retention.
Smell - Wheaty and malty with some nice banana and bubble gum scents in the mix.
Taste - Tastes like it smells, wheaty and sweet with nice tropical fruit and bubble gum flavors. Adding a lemon slice to the beer gives it an extra citrus kick that really brings out the flavors.
Mouthfeel - creamy, not overly carbonated and smooth.
Drinkability - This is a very good interpretation of the Hefe Weizen style. It goes down very easily and is a nice summer refresher. Given that it is always available in Minnesota, it's one of my quick go-to beers in the summer if other choices are limited.
Serving suggestion: Standard pint glass with a lemon slice.

Holy crap! This thing has the most uncontrollable head on any hefe I've ever tried! This moster head, once unleashed, rose up from the depths like a science project and tumbled over the sides of my half liter pint glass! This beast of a head is rocky and chunky, and it calms down to a quarter finger after several minutes and stays at that level. All of this insanity is suspended over a murky orange brew.
This sucker is redolent of dusty yeast, brown bananas, old fashioned bubblegum (the kind that comes individually wrapped in a twisted wrapper), and lots of doughy bread. There is a solid hop presence in addtion to a dank dusty smell (not a bad thing). The warmer it gets, the more I smell ripe bananas and bazooka joe....dang, that smells GOOD!
Tates doughy, yeasty, and fresh. This has a bit of that glazed donut flavor that I experience in most good hefe's. Banana bread is definitely there along with an extremely dry and dusty sensation that I believe is the yeast (maybe I'm wrong)? The finish is very dry and tart from the adequate amount of hops.
The more I sip the more I am reminded of banana skins. Yes, I have actually eaten the skin of a banana....I just wanted to see what it tasted like (I was a weird kid). Also, more spiced qualities come out as the temperature of the beer rises. This definitely gets better towards the end of the pint.
Mouthfeel is tingly with carbonation and this seems to mask the heavier "slick and slimy" qualities that be present in a hefe. IMO this is the best hefe that I've tried so far....it's quite deep and comlpex, but not overly yeasty and doughy like the more traditional Bavarian hefe's which are a little too sweet and slimy for my taste.
This is damn good stuff. This will be a summer sessioner for sure!

The typical Bavarian hefe-weizen appearance remains intact with the exception of the normally hard-to-control over-sized head. That magnificent head retention is due in part to their mashing regemins, but also due in part to their higher levels of carbonation, while this American version offers only an "average" carbonation at around 2.6 volumes. It drops readily to a thin collar and leaves only minor lacing. The typical nose, however, is also present and quite nice with some slightly green bananas; lightly spicy cloves; a doughy, wheat-based malt; soft, sweet, bubblegum and lightly abrassive plastic esters; and a mildly tart citric note. The body is light and its very fine, median carbonation leaves it gently crisp in the mouth. The flavor delivers everything that the aroma promises with a splash of lemony citrus and bready malt upfront; followed by some rising bitterness and gently spicy clove; and finishing with a rousing flourish of banana, plastic, clove, and trading-card bubblegum. It's a touch more bitter than one might expect, and it's dryness lingers in the mouth; but overall it's quite nice!

Not the best Hefe, but at under $7 a sixer, this is a heck of a beer. It matches a lot of the elements of a great german hefe profile, but not all of them. Looks great, cloudy golden beer with a white head and nice lacing. Smells of slightly sour wheat with yeast. A lovely german wheat and yeast flavor. If this beer only had a little mroe complexity, some more fruit, it'd be a great beer. If there's a cheap sixer near you try it. If not, stick to the good import stuff.

12 oz. bottle poured into a tulip glass.
Appearance-Pale yellow gold with a slight cast of haze. Fluffy ivory-white head of moderate size with good retention.
Aroma-Typical hefeweizen characteristics are present, though light. Clove leads, followed by banana, with some bready wheat notes. Smell is to style, though not very impressive.
Flavor-Slight clove note with a bit of banana, followed by bready wheat. Finish has a quick twinge of carbonic acid, but is somewhat bland, with a very faint banana flavor appearing in the aftertaste.
Mouthfeel-Medium light body, high, spritzy carbonation is almost effervescent on the palate. Leaves palate feeling refreshed.
I've enjoyed this much more on tap at the brewery and found it there to be a decent hefeweizen, though from the bottle its a little bit lifeless in terms of flavor and aroma. Quite drinkable, but it just doesn't stand out.

Nice frisky weizen flavor. Not as much banana or spice flavor as expected for this style, but that just lets the fizzy wheat taste take the stage. A good cloudy body, thought its yellow is a tad darker than expected. Thin head, grainy lacing. I couldn't resist squeezing in the lemon slice, but that ain't no crime with this beer. Highly carbonated as expected; in fact, almost "seltzer water" gassy. Another surprise to be found at the bar in Marshall Field's basement.

Summit Hefe Weizen: on tap. Poured a very yellow color, very hazy. The color was a little startling. Nice thick head, dense and long lasting. Very lemony flavor, which was a little surprising (and no, they did not put a lemon in it). The banana taste typical to the style were absent. After taste was long lasting, and fruity sweet. The brew was smooth though, with a creamy mouth feel. Unusual brew, not that authentic to the style, and not in my top ten of the style.

Slightly hazy pale yellow hue. A hard pour produced a modest white head (a true Bavarian Weizen should require a soft pour for a large head, anyway ), fair retention, it sunk slowly to a soapy cap. Minimal spotty lace. Well-constructed nose with the perfect invitation, cloves, wheat, spice, yeast. Not potent but pleasant. The palate is lightly spicy & clovey fruity but not so much banana-like sharp yeasty finish. Supremely refreshing. Definitely the abv youre looking for in a summer seasonal. High carbonation does mask the flavors a little too much, medium-body. A pleasant quaff even if it is a little off style-wise, it has its charm. Thanks ZAP!

Bright and cloudy yellow hue, thick, bubbly/soapy head, decent lacing throughout. Some lemon and yeast on the nose. Up front, some tartiness with some clove and wheat flavoring, quite nice, resembling the hefe-characteristics. Borderline medium bodied, with a spritzy, carbonated finish, tender spicy and banana flavors left on the palate; very simple, easy to drink, a decent hefe and another great product from the fine folks at Summit.

Pours a cloudy yellow with a short lived white head. Just a little lacing is left on the glass. The beer has a clove aroma with a sweet maltiness. The flavor is the same with the clove flavor dominating. It has a decent flavor but nothing that will blow your socks off. It has a light body and maybe a little overcarbonated. Seems a little harsh on the tongue. A good local Hefe. Refreshing and low ABV makes this a good Summer beer. They go down extremely easy and in mass quantities so watch out.

The appearance was slighty cloudy, with a very slight head. Pale yellow in color, what I would expect from this type of beer. The smell had a decent aroma of wheat, not overpowering but present. I actually had high hopes for this beer, but the taste had a metallic aftertaste. Not sure if it was from the brewing process or the fact the the bottle purchased may have been too old. In any event, the aftertaste took something away from this beer. I thought it was well carbonated and had a good mouthfeel. I just couldn't get past the aftertaste. I would try this beer again, but only if I could be sure that the beer was fresh. Never buy off the shelf marked for sale!

A - Active swirling pour... One fingers worth of crisp fizzy white foam... Only slight retention that when once faded leaves a full rich lacing... An orangish toffee color... Slightly hazy... Once the pour settles, there is no carbonation and its quite still...
S - Strong aroma or pale malts and grainy wheat... Some caramel and toffee... Some faint citrus notes... A pleasant enough aroma, I'm just not sure it fits the style...
T - Caramel... Toffee... Plastic... Some artificial banana...
M - Light to medium bodied... Moderate amount of carbonation that possesses a bite on the tongue and at finish... Smooth...
D - This one just doesn't resonate with me, especially considering the style... It's average at best overall not taking style into account, and a slight disappointment when taking style characteristics into consideration... I hate to say that I'm not a fan of a specific brewery, but this is the second time that I've tried Summit and have been severely let down in both instances...

Tracey - A Day In The Life
We looked at
what Tracey likes to carry everyday
We know she is
always a
joy to be around, that s
he is bold, confident and super girlie
She is also very creative and particularly loves photography
. She works as a freelance fashion photographer and currently resides in Los Angeles. Let's have a look at her flat...
Tracey's Stylish Bedroom
Tracey loves decorating, but also enjoys peaceful environments so she keeps her bedroom fairly pared down and neutral. She uses vintage lamps as accents on her bedside and starts all her days in the safety of her serene cocoon. There she picks her outfit, enjoys a quick breakfast on the balcony and plans the day ahead.
Tracey's Inspiration
Because of her job, Tracey constantly needs to feed her inspiration. So she keeps a veritable library of fashion magazines to which she likes to refer regularly. There isn't an editorial spread in VOGUE or ELLE she doesn't remember.
Tracey on the Job
Tracey works as a freelance fashion photographer, so her living room is her office. It is much more exuberant than her bedroom as it is also the room where she will welcome her clients and friends. Sometimes she even organises little shoots in there as she owns so many props gathered during her travels!
Tracey's Studio
When she has a big magazine shoot planned (and she has shot many covers), Tracey works from a studio mid-town. She gets to meet so many beautiful people, and create magic with her camera.
Tracey & Friends
After a long day working, Tracey likes to meet friends at the latest rooftop bar... They grab a bite and chat the evening away, planning their next artistic endeavour.

KRASNAYA POLYANA, Russia (AP) -- A message from Shaun White: Don't take his short hair as a sign he's no longer a rebel.
In fact, he says, it was a rebellious move to cut off his trademark red locks because everyone told him he couldn't.
But, White concedes, he does take life more seriously now at age 27 than he did when he made his Olympic debut as a teenager.
On Thursday, White begins his quest for double gold at the Sochi Olympics with the start of slopestyle qualifying.
Next Tuesday, he'll go for a third straight Olympic title in the halfpipe.
White says the halfpipe quest definitely carries a little more weight in his mind. He's trying to become the first American male to win three straight gold medals in the Winter Games.

I am C. Ellen Connally, president of the Cuyahoga County Council responding to Bill Applegate's "Movie Madness" editorial.
In a few weeks the movie stars will return to Hollywood. Clevelanders will regain the use of city streets and temporary workers will return to the ranks of the unemployed. Were the tax credits and exemptions granted to the movie industry worth the inconvenience to large numbers of our population?
The Cleveland Film Commission justifies these concessions by asserting off-setting tax revenues from hotel rentals, jobs and business with local companies. While the hype is great, the citizens of Cuyahoga County need a clearer analysis of the true economic impact of movies made in Cleveland.
Other cities and states have withdrawn tax incentives after finding that the Hollywood bang is not worth the buck.
The Cleveland Film Commission needs to demonstrate real proof of their assertion that the movie industry is a boost to the local economy before they ask for more concessions. A walk on the red carpet is great, but the yellow brick road should lead to permanent jobs and long-term business advantages for greater Cleveland before taxpayers shell out another dime.
Thank you.

MOORE, Okla. —
The nonprofit is also giving $100,000 to a small independent district in southwest Oklahoma City, Western Heights.
The nonprofit is still taking donations and passing them to schools. McBride said the group has no administrative costs - funds are held by the Oklahoma City Community Foundation - so all of the money it collects is used to build shelters.
When the storm hit last May, Gov. Mary Fallin said 100 schools in the state - out of 1,752 - had safe rooms or shelters. Yet, Oklahoma is one of the most tornado-prone areas of the country.
Part of "Tornado Alley," the state averages 62 tornadoes per year, according to records kept by the National Climatic Data Center from 1991 to 2010.
It has withstood 7 of the 59 strongest tornadoes - rated F-5 or EF-5, based on damage and wind estimates - that have hit the United States since 1950, according to the National Storm Prediction Center. Those include the May 20 tornado that hit Moore and Oklahoma City.
The group's website is www.shelteroklahomaschools.org.

BROWNSBURG — The town council here presided over a few hot button issues Thursday night at its bi-monthly meeting, both from a concrete and philosophical perspective.
In what Town Manager Grant Kleinhenz called an "exciting" development, the council approved a joint grant letter to the Metropolitan Planning Organization requesting $9.2 million for the construction of Ronald Reagan Parkway from U.S. 136 South to County Road 300 North. The total cost of the project is estimated at $18.4 million.
Of the remainder of the funding, $6.7 million would come from the Town of Brownsburg and $2.5 million from the county in what Kleinhenz said was a "great partnership." A decision for the funding could come as early as October of this year, meaning construction could get started in 2014.
"This is a great opportunity for us to partner with the county to get a project done that everyone feels will be a huge benefit to not only our economic development, but that of the county as well," Kleinhenz said.
If the grant is approved, funds would likely be disbursed in 2016. Kleinhenz said the design engineering for that section of the road is already done. The right of way was obtained by the county and is nearly complete.
Kleinhenz said they had only requested 50 percent of the funding, which is somewhat unusual.
"Usually those are 80/20 requests, but we are being told by those in the know that competition is going to be great and if we can do a 50 percent project, that will score some extra points for us," he said, noting that a portion of the funding would come from a cash balance in the tax increment financing district (TIF).
That statement led into a discussion of the TIF pass through funds as usage is determined by the Redevelopment Commission (RDC).
Councilman Dave Richardson called for a discussion on the matter even though the council has no ability to direct the RDC to make a decision. Councilmen Rob Kendall and Gary Hood are both a part of the RDC.
"In the past 10 to 12 months, there has been a lot of discussion, meetings, debate, and dare I even say dissention, confrontation, divisiveness amongst parties throughout the community," Richardson said. "There was at one time the suggestion that the TIF pass through would go down to zero. That would have affected six other taxing units. Each of those taxing units stood to lose money or have that revenue stream reduced. The council was asked to speak out on this issue and up until today we haven't."
Richardson called for the TIF pass through to stay the same amount as this year at $14.5 million and that the RDC make the pass through available to other taxing units. He called for a "non-binding recommendation" to the RDC.
Such units include the Brownsburg Community School Corporation, the Brownsburg Fire Territory, and the Brownsburg Public Library.
Councilman Don Spencer echoed his support for Richardson's resolution and expressed that he has faith that all parties involved will come to whatever decision is best for the community.
"It's been my desire all along just to have a well reasoned, thought out decision made by the RDC and I trust councilman Hood and councilman Kendall and the other three members of that commission to do just that," he said. "I'm not sure any of us know what the numbers are regarding that decision. We're smart folks that are running these organizations."
Hood expressed concern over Richardson's motion and voted against the resolution, along with Kendall.
"I think it's been made clear that the RDC is directed by state statute having the responsibility for deciding what is the appropriate pass through amount," Hood said. "I've talked to Rob and we both believe that it is inappropriate for the town council to pass a resolution on what the TIF pass through should be, and thus we will oppose the resolution on that basis.
"Members of the council are welcome to discuss it individually with any (RDC) member, but it's not the council's role to intervene."
Dwayne Sawyer, town council president, joined Kendall and Hood in voting and the motion failed, 3-2.

I currently have the following lenses and looking for advice on "what's next"...welcome thoughts of the group
Canon EF-S 10-22mm
Canon EF 50mm f/1.8
Canon EF 24-105 f/4
Tamron 18-270mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II VC
The Tamron lens is an OK lens but I am finding limitations from an image quality perspective. I typically use the 24-105 as more of my everyday lens now that I have a started to become a stronger photographer.
So what do folks think I should consider next? My problem with choosing is that I love taking portrait shots but landscape is a lot of what I shoot as well.
So what say you wise ones?
That really depends on what exactly you want to achieve and what you feel you're currently lacking. You have good lenses there for both landscapes and portraits. In fact, the 24-105 should cover that to great extent right there. And you have something on the wider end as well.
If you want to introduce more of natural light with "bokeh" approach you might think about getting a better 50mm lens or perhaps the 85 1.8 instead (which would be more like a 135mm lens on your crop camera).
If the first interest is landscapes then there are many high quality wide angle primes that could add some value.
So it's really hard to say what makes sense for you next. Maybe you don't even need a new lens if you're not sure. Not to worry: there are plenty of other photography gizmos. How are you doing in the flash department? How about a new bag? Investing in a really good tripod is always something to consider for landscape photgraphy. Etc etc etc.
