A least nine people have been killed and 16 wounded in a coordinated attack by 11 suicide bombers in the eastern Afghan city of Khost.
Afghan army personnel and police, working with international forces, took nearly six hours to subdue the attackers, with heavy gunfire reported before all bombers had detonated their explosives.
The militants targeted the provincial governor's compound and the municipality, according to police.
Other Afghan officials said many of the dead were security officers.
The Taliban claimed responsibility for the attacks.
Earlier, a suspected US drone attack killed up to eight militants in a remote Pakistan tribal area near the Afghan border this morning.
The attack occurred in the village of Sara Khwara in South Waziristan, and was the second such strike in the semi-autonomous tribal zone in three days.
US military head sacked
Late yesterday, the top US commander in Afghanistan was sacked to make way for 'new thinking' at a pivotal moment in the seven-year-old war.
General David McKiernan is being replaced after less than a year on the job.
US Defense Secretary Robert Gates said: 'Our mission there requires new thinking and new approaches from our military leaders.'
Lt Gen Stanley McChrystal, a former commander of special operations forces in Iraq and Afghanistan, will replace Gen McKiernan.
Mr Gates said that the US has a new strategy, a new mission and a new ambassador, and added: 'I believe that new military leadership also is needed'.
The change comes as President Barack Obama escalates the war against a spreading Taliban insurgency, approving deployments that will double the size of the US force in Afghanistan to 68,000 by the autumn.
The new commander will face growing instability in neighbouring Pakistan and a public outcry among Afghans over rising civilian casualties from US air strikes.

MINOOKA — Fabric can be art. When colored pieces are arranged and sewn and shaped, dramatic artworks are created.
The Pieces from the Heart Morris Quilt Guild showed how artful and creative quilts and quilted décor are during its March 22 and 23 show at Chapin's East in Minooka. About 1,000 people came to look at the quilts and got ideas and inspirations for their own projects.
Connie Franzen of Channahon looked at what she thought was a complicated quilt pattern. When she discussed it with vendor Susan May, from Fulton, Ill., Franzen discovered the pattern wasn't as difficult as she thought.
A bit relieved, Franzen said the process sometimes "takes something that looks scary and makes it easy."
Lana Stafford of Minooka, a guild member, said the process involves "piecing" or sewing the different fabric shapes together, and then "quilting'" or sewing the pieced part to the fabric backing and padding to make a thick "quilted" blanket or hanging. Most of the displayed projects were bedsized; others were table runners or decorative wall hangings, while yet other quilting projects were accessories, such as purses or vests.
"Some people like to finish by quilting their work; others send them out to have them finish quilted, whereas some like to do hand quilting," Stafford said, but she agreed with other quilters that quilting by hand is not frequently done and that machine quilting lasts longer.
Stafford had one of the more unusual fabric quilts. Her quilted piece, which measured about 10-by-10, was used as the chupa in an interfaith marriage ceremony.
The chupa, which is the awning under which the bride and groom are married in Jewish wedding rituals, was made in pale chartreuse green and had embroidered panels illustrating of the newlyweds' lives. For her work, Stafford won a first-place ribbon.
Sue Morse, who quilts at the Presbyterian Church in Morris, exclaimed over the color and styling of the a quilt titled "Twister." She and her friends from the church said they analyzed the quilts and some of the designs were simply "mind-boggling."
Carole Bolatto of Marseilles, the guild's publicist, said event showcased over 100 quilts and included the guild's "boutique" of gently used patterns items. Eight vendors sold everything from quilted items to the thread and needles that every quilter might need.
One eye-catching prize winner was by member Faye Goth, who made a Christmas tree skirt. The navy, medium-blue and white design shimmered with silver threads
Goth had written, "This quilt was made in four weeks so I could put it under the tree."
Another striking quilt was entitled "Primitive Garden," and was a garden patch of different simple flower, vegetable and bird shapes. The sections were each outlined in darker fabric as if to mimic the sections of a garden.
Jo Snider did the work using only wool fabric. For some of her fabric, she shopped thrift shops for wool clothing, shrank the fabric and cut the pieces to fit into her quilt.
For more about the Pieces of the Heart Guild, visit its open house from 1 to 4 p.m. April 20 at the First Midwest Bank in Morris. You can like the group on Facebook, too.

Republican presidential front- runner Donald Trump 's suggestion on Wednesday that women who end pregnancies should face punishment. Made a triggering criticism from both sides including from his White House rivals.
Trump's comments immediately unleashed a torrent of negative reactions, Republicans from across the ideological spectrum quickly condemned Trump's assertion.
The rival candidate John Kasich, the governor of Ohio opposes abortion except in specific cases such as rape, he said , "Of course women shouldn't be punished."
The Republicans worried about the damage Trump could do at the top of the ticket with off-the-cuff or controversial quotes. They say that Trump is not conservative enough on issues such as abortion. They have also criticised him for comments that have offended women and minority groups.
Clinton said ."The Republicans all line up together. Now maybe they aren't quite as open about it as Donald Trump was earlier today, but they all have the same position," she said, noting anti-abortion positions taken by both John Kasich and Ted Cruz.
"If you make abortion a crime you make it illegal then you make women and doctors criminals."

Spring Season Used to Find New Leaders
George O'Leary always says a football team only goes as far as the strength of leadership they have. With a new squad forming every spring, this time of the year is when those players emerge to guide their teammates.
Cornerback A.J. Bouye says that soon to be seniors Jordan Rae, Theo Goings, Jonathan Davis, Kemal Ismael have stepped up to be vocal leaders. Last year, many cited a lack of leadership as a possible contributing factor in a disappointing 5-7 season.
However, O'Leary sees the veterans setting a different tone in 2012.
"I think the senior class is much like 2010," said O'Leary. "It's hard to find a leader today. There is so much peer pressure, but collectively your seniors have to lead your football team. I'm pleased with them so far, as far as taking charge and doing things they need to do to."
While having vocal leaders is important, not every player needs to speak up to get their point across. Entering his fourth year, wide receiver Quincy McDuffie prefers to let his work ethic do the talking.
Showing younger players how to do things on the field is just as valuable as speaking up. It is especially helpful for McDuffie to be a role model for his fellow receivers like sophomores Rannell Hall, Josh Reese and freshman Breshad Perriman.
"It means a lot (to lead)," said McDuffie. "You need to lead by example. You have to go out there and do the right thing and be accountable. They look up to you. You have to just take them under your wing and look out for them."
Perriman the Talk of Spring
It is not often a true freshman makes waves in spring practice. The adjustment to college life and the physicality of college football often proves to be too much initially. However, Breshad Perriman has been a standout performer.
Perriman was a grayshirt in the fall, but enrolled at UCF for the spring semester. Teammates have been impressed with the way he has quickly grasped the playbook.
Rarely does O'Leary heap praise on a freshman, but he believes that Perriman can play right away at UCF.
"I've been really pleased with him," said O'Leary. "He's a true freshman. I think he's really going to be a good receiver. We're throwing everything at him and he's a big target out there. He's learning to play to the speed of the game right now."
Perhaps what has allowed Perriman to make such a quick impact is the knowledge he has accrued coming from a football family. His father, Brett, was a former star for the Miami Hurricanes and played ten years in the NFL.
The elder Perriman was a second round pick out of UM in 1988 and known as a dangerous threat down the field. It appears that his son carries some of those same traits.
However, while Brett was only 5'9", Breshad is a tall 6'2" and gives the Knights much needed size among a smallish receiving corp.
It is that size and speed combo that has caught the eyes of many, including McDuffie.
"He has great size and he's able to make plays on the deep ball," said McDuffie. "He's catching on pretty fast. He brings something different to the table. We're lacking in size right now and that's where he comes in. He can make plays on the outside, which opens up the run game as well."
Young Tight Ends Show Potential
Adam Nissley was one of the most experienced Knights in 2011. The senior ended up with 46 career starts before concluding his college career in November.
Working to replace Nissley this spring is a duo of tight ends that have five total games of experience. Sophomore Justin Tukes and redshirt freshman Kevin Miller are both long on potential and have shown flashes of their ability this spring.
However, for an offense so reliant on the tight end to block, each has a lot of aspects of their position to learn.
"I think Tukes and Miller have an opportunity to come in and help us," said O'Leary. "I think they're both good sized athletes. They're just young. There are only so many sunrises and sunsets as far as getting them reps out there."
Tukes, in particular, has stood out in the passing game during practice. He has made several athletic grabs, found himself wide open at times, and even been lined up more like a traditional receiver in the slot.
While Nissley and tight ends before him under O'Leary have not been the biggest pass catchers, Tukes might be a valuable asset in that category. He has the chance to be a red zone safety blanket for quarterback Blake Bortles.
O'Leary clearly sees the tools Tukes possesses, but also acknowledges he has a ways to go to contribute.
"He's a 6'4" 250 pound guy that has ability, the thing is consistency," said O'Leary. "He can catch and he has pretty good explosion at the point of attack. You just have to continue to work with him. He's a freshman."

Colleges are typically flexible when it comes to student schedules. If you like to sleep in or you prefer to get as many of your classes out of the way early, that can be possible.
At the United States Military Academy at West Point you must be at the mess hall for breakfast by 7 a.m. or as early as 6:30 a.m. if officers are scheduled to inspect the cadets' gray uniforms. Classes are 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. with an hour to two break for lunch and to catch up on homework or other duties.
After 4 p.m. is two hours of military training determined by the company leader. Mandatory dinner is from 6-7 p.m. Evenings are free for homework or to attend special lectures with speakers ranging from a Nobel Laureate in literature to a three-star general.
Adjusting to this schedule was not easy for Joseph Foss, who graduated from St. Francis High School in 2009.
"I've always liked having my own freedom and forming my schedule, so it has been difficult trying to get used to the regimented schedule," Foss said. "They place a lot of importance on where you need to be, when you need to be there and having the proper uniform."
Foss, 22, said anyone looking at his transcript could see he struggled more as a freshman than a senior, but he has done quite well and he is slated to graduate in the top 5 to 10 percent of West Point's class of 2014 with a double major and double honors in economics and math.
"We're very excited for him. It's gone so fast," said his mother Deni Foss. She and her husband Doug still live in Nowthen and have another son and a daughter, who is in the Minnesota National Guard and is going to school to be an emergency medical technician.
Foss' life at West Point went beyond the classroom. He played on his company's intramural basketball team for three years before becoming a coaching assistant this year. He jumped out of a plane in the airborne school.
A lot of people were influential in making sure he was successful, from fellow cadets in his company to teachers. Public speaking was not something he was good at before West Point, but being around articulate cadets who were planning to be Army officers helped him made great strides in this area, according to Foss.
"I personally used to speak very haltingly, very slowly and have a difficult time getting my message across," Foss said. "However, constantly interacting with these people I've learned to speak more fluidly."
Once he receives his degree from West Point next spring, he will be have at least five years of service in the Army. He will be assigned as an officer to an air defense base.
"There I'll lead probably 30 soldiers and be in charge of around $20 million worth of missiles," he said.
Even if he remains in the Army beyond five years, Foss would like to get his law degree with a focus on campaign finance law or regulatory law, or he may pursue a doctorate in economics.
Politics deeply interest him. Before enrolling at West Point, he spent a year at the University of Minnesota studying a variety of subjects, including politics, Middle Eastern politics, Farsi and its culture and engineering.
Foss is interested most in Iran. It has had an interesting history being a part of multiple empires over the years. There is an interplay of religion and politics that influences its decisions today. It has supported Hezbollah and Syria and has attempted to develop a nuclear weapon. It has a large natural supply of oil that could provide more global competition and it controls the Strait of Hormuz that is an important corridor for transporting oil.
He is fascinated about the math behind the architecture and geometric patterns found in Iran. It has some of the best ski slopes in the world, but people would not know that people tourism is not a big industry, Foss said.
While he was in high school, Foss attended a Harvard summer school program and took two classes in political philosophy and psychology of influence.
"I enjoy working with charity, volunteering, helping people individually," he said. "Public policy has the ability to effect a lot of people with simple policy."
Foss believes public policy could improve if people looked at the hard numbers rather than the "fuzzy sciences" of public opinion polls, he said.
"I'd like to use math and economics, a more hard, quantitative science to really pinpoint effective public policy," Foss said.

The Destiny Alpha is due to kick off later today at 12pm PDT (8pm BST). The servers are bound to be busy, but hopefully the multiplayer arena will be heaving with action later!
There's been some confusion over whether the Alpha phase goes live tonight or the weekend. We can confirm it goes live at 12pm PDT (8pm BST) and runs until Monday June 16 at 12am PDT (8am BST).
If you haven't already done so, check out our first impressions of Destiny from E3 2014 and check out the Destiny trailer.

I am saying hello to everyone after not being on the forum in quite some time! So between having my son this year and work driving mad, I forgot about the internet . I had no time to work on my coal stoves but I am happy to say that the WM 414A is working well again this season. I am going to pick up a pallet of blaschak this week from NOVA and crank out another season with this little stove. If I happen to come across a good deal on another little stove to put in the kitchen I may buy it. but as for now this 414A will be old faithful. I had the chimney cleaned this year as part of my warranty, although I think in the future I will just do this myself.
I am sorry that I neglected some friends messages on here. I think I need to set up my preferences to email me when I get a PM.
Even though I haven't been on here in some time, I am still as excited about coal stoves as I was when I first came here. In fact I had a nice treat when I went to England for three weeks this year, involving coal and a hand fired stove. A friend of the family had us over for tea one day and he showed me his "Rayburn" . It only uses a little bit of coal and it heats all of the hot water in his house year round, also the stove pipe that he had looked much different than the thin cheap pipe I seem to find here... it just seemed to be a thicker gauge and and was glossy rather than the dull flat black that I have been using. he said it has been that way for year. Anyways, what would be a comprable cook stove to the "Rayburn" cook stoves? Mind you I know nothing about the Rayburn other than the fact that if someone in England has a cook stove, it's most likely a "Rayburn" .
On on a chilly night, which was most, of the Southwest coast in England, Plymouth to be exact, you could smell the burning of coal while we walked home. Although it may not be a pleasent smell to most, it put a big smile on my face . Most folks I met on the southwest coast still use coal. I also had the treat of checking out a midevil well in my wife's uncle's living room I will have to put a picture up of that one.
So it looks like I have a lot to read and catch up on. Again, Hello and it is good to be back!

A HOUSING estate in Southampton is resembling a disaster zone today after last night's storm ripped the roof off a block of flats.
Tarmac sheeting, timber and polystyrene blocks are littering a pathway outside a three-storey block in Benhams Road, Townhill, after a section of the roof crashed to the ground during fierce winds and lashing rain.
The structure, covering three flats, was torn off shortly before 8.30pm as the storm struck the county, leaving a trail of chaos in its wake.
Southampton City Council contractors have erected metal hoardings around the wreckage but a section of roof on top of the three-storey block is still hanging off.
Mum of three Mikhala Forbes who lives on the first floor was assessing the damage today.
She initially heard the thunder but was only alerted about the damage when her friend living in a neighbouring block telephoned her.
Mikhala, 29, said: "She told me part of the roof was on the floor . I looked out and I couldn't believe it.
Mikhala Forbes
"The roof was on the ground with loads of timber and polystyrene around it.
"It was like a disaster zone."
Her three children Paige, five, Jayden, three, and Logan, ten months, slept through the drama but she said: ""It was really scary - the rain was hammering down and the wind was so strong the trees were bending over to the side severely.
"I've been here 26 years and I've never seen anything like this."
"It's just lucky no one was walking underneath it.
"But the other part is still hanging off now and we worry that if there's another strong gust of wind it will rip it off.
Noone was hurt and it is believed all residents were able to remain in their flats throughout.

'Sully' could have flown or sunk- instead it just floated along
Posted September 19, 2016
MOVIE LAND — As a rule, I prefer to go into a movie knowing as little about it as possible. This way I get to experience the story as the director has designed it to unfold. This time was a little more difficult as I was somewhat familiar with the events that took place on Jan. 15, 2009.
On the afternoon of Jan. 15, US Airways flight 1549 piloted by Chesley "Sully" Sulenberger was forced to make an emergency water landing on the Hudson River after a bird strike took out both engines. Miraculously, everybody onboard survived.
This story played out in real time as it was happening and continued to be played over and over on the news for days, if not weeks, afterword. It was hard to not have some knowledge of what happened, and at the time, I recall thinking, "Wow, those guys are lucky." I was thankful that it ended so well, but that was about all I thought of it.
Now seven years later, director Clint Eastwood has brought us a movie giving the firsthand account of the crash as experienced from Captain "Sully" Sullenberger's perspective. The movie is based on Chesley B. Sulenberger's book "Highest Duty: My Search for What Really Matters."
As with all stories like this one, there is always a lot more to it than most people appreciate, and that's why I believe they are chosen to be made into films. This film takes us beyond the initial terrifying 208 seconds it took for the plane to crash, and directly into the lives of Captain Sullenberger, played by Tom Hanks, and his first officer Jeffery Skiles, played by Aaron Eckhart, after the events of the water landing.
The real story takes place after the crash landing, but I will leave that for you to discover as you watch the movie, provided you have not already read the book.
Although the movie was entertaining and well done, I was left feeling a little flat at the end and didn't understand why.
Here's what worked, what didn't and why it left me feeling kind of "meh."
What worked:
The telling of the story was thorough and interesting. Clint Eastwood did a great job of capturing the circumstances as they happened and translating them visually. We get a great sense of what it was like to be in the plane as it went down, from not only the perspective of the captain and the passengers, but also of those that were investigating the crash.
The story went beyond the crash and made the human component relatable as it applied to the resultant doubts and second guessing experienced by Captain Sully after the wreck.
The movie did a great job preserving the tension through to the end of the film when things finally begin to resolve and questions are answered.
What did not work:
This was not the most exciting captain role that Tom Hanks has ever played. It may seem weird that I'm even comparing roles that Hanks has played as a captain, but he has been a captain in so many movies. Don't get me wrong — Hanks is solid in any role he plays, but it is hard not to compare his performances from one role to another, especially as I think of his portrayal of Richard Phillips in the movie "Captain Phillips."
One scene in particular that comes to mind from his "Captain Phillips" role was when Hanks was taken aboard the navy vessel after his ordeal. That was some of the best acting I have ever seen from anyone. I know, I know it's all apples to oranges and it's not like he is playing the same person in every movie, but it does seem strange he would choose yet another role as captain that we can use to compare.
There were so many flashbacks in this movie I got lost in the timeline. At times, I would forget I was even in a flashback until he came out of it, only to go into a new one a short time later. I think this underlies a bigger problem, which is that the movie probably could have been told in an hour, but Clint Eastwood needed to stretch it to at least 90 minutes. The result is that we got to see the crash sequence multiple times and most of them were in the form of a flashback somebody was experiencing.
It reminded me of the movie "Funny Farm" when Chevy Chase's wife flipped out because the novel he was writing had too many flashbacks, flashforwards and flashsideways.
I also had a hard time relating to the specific personal stories of any of the passengers. This would have been more effective since at the root of Captain Sully's dilemma was the welfare of his passengers. There was one overacted attempt by two sons and an elderly father on a golf vacation, but that just felt forced in the end.
Overall, this is a good movie and the story is well told. There were a few things that could have been done better to contribute to the overall emotion of it and its characters.
I would recommend this movie to anyone interested in the real story of flight 1549 or anyone who is looking to feel good when they walk out of a movie. Just don't expect to care much about the movie itself later.
Clint Eastwood has directed some of my favorite movies like "Million Dollar Baby" and "Firefox," but this isn't going to stand out to me a few years down the road like many of his other films.

Sunday brunch: Links for the week of 24-31 March 2013
I haven't had a ton of time recently to scour the Internet, but this week, I did! So let's check out what's going on around the web which is world-wide!
Marvel is releasing graphic novels again – yes, they've been doing the "Season One" ones, but this is not that. Warren Ellis is writing it, which is good, but the Mike McKone art at the link doesn't look particularly excellent. Still, way to go, Marvel!
Here's an interview with Jeff Parker about his Batman comic – you know, the one that's based on the 1960s television show. This book sounds really keen, by the way.
David Brothers and Andrew Wheeler write about the strange page in Uncanny Avengers #5. Both links are worth reading, although I like Brothers' take a bit more. Remender's response to critics seems … a bit strong. He might have meant it as a joke, or he might have been having a bad day, but if you're working in such a public career, shouldn't you be a bit more thick-skinned?
But your superhero-print swimsuits here!
With the return of Game of Thrones tonight (you are watching, aren't you? oh, of course you are), here's the collected wisdom of Peter Dinklage – not just from GoT, mind you, but from his career – and some facts about the cast you may not know. The dude who plays Robb Stark is dating Jenna-Louise Coleman, which gives me an excuse to post this:
Armond White is one of the best movie critics around, mainly because he's such a douchebag. So of course he wrote about Room 237, the new documentary about The Shining, and blasted the "nerds" who care about such stuff. He's a glorious douchebag, you have to give him that!
I really can't even begin to parse this story: A man wrote an angry letter to another man who was drawing erotic pictures of the first dude's fiancée … who happens to be Twilight Sparkle. Yes, the My Little Pony character. Just read the story!
Here's a list of "good girls" going "bad" in movies. Their definitions are a bit fast and loose, but it's an interesting list of actresses trying to change their public images.
Here's a list of notoriously troubled movie sets. I love behind-the-scenes stuff like this.
I don't have much to say about the gay marriage issue, because it's inevitable and that's all there is to it. I've been following the cases in front of the Supreme Court only a little, because I just don't think they're all that significant. I mean, it would be nice if the Court ruled against DOMA and Prop 8, but it's not really that important. I did find it interesting that Bill O'Reilly made a pretty good case for gay marriage, even if he doesn't agree with it. O'Reilly might be a windbag, but he's a smart windbag, and he realizes that it's ridiculous for conservatives to claim they want freedom when they're denying freedom to a portion of the population. Way to go, O'Reilly!
This is a story about a teacher who is under investigation for saying "vagina" during an anatomy lesson. Whenever I read stories about things going on in class, my ex-teacher radar goes off. I'm very curious what actually happened here – his kids are defending him, but it also sounds like he might have been a bit too informal. Teachers, especially teachers of kids who are a bit older and can interact with them on a more intellectual level, have to be very careful about how they speak to their students. It's a very fine line, let me tell you.
FotB Rob Schmidt linked to this on Facebook: A new approach to the Electoral College. It will never work, as it changes the state boundaries far too much, but it's pretty interesting! Here's the original map.
The 33 most beautiful abandoned places in the world.
Very cool underground homes. Man, I want one of those.
Places you won't believe actually exist. Bora Bora? Krakow? Who doesn't believe that those places exist?
That's it for this week. If you're celebrating Easter, I hope you have a good day. If you're not celebrating Easter, I hope you have a good day, too. It's all about having a good day!

FORMER world boxing champ Mike Tyson has claimed he once walked in on his ex-wife having sex with Brad Pitt.
The heavyweight said he caught the Hollywood hunk with Robin Givens in the 1980s — when Tyson was divorcing the actress, but still sleeping with her.
He told a US radio show: "This day, someone beat me to the punch. I guess Brad got there earlier than I did.
"I was mad as hell. You should have saw his face when he saw me." Brad escaped unscathed.

With the American Legion baseball season now over, we can turn our full attention to the fall sports season, which actually begins next week with regular season games.
Congratulations to the Washington Post 218 Seniors for their great season and memorable postseason run.
A state championship and a trip to the Mid-South Regional Tournament certainly is something to be proud about.
Post 218 ran into two great teams and two tremendous pitchers at the regional in New Orleans.
The two teams Washington suffered losses to, the host Retif Oil team and Columbia, Tenn., were the two final teams remaining in the tournament. Retif Oil went on the win the regional, advancing to the American Legion World Series.
A total of 14 of the 17 Post 218 players are eligible to return next season.
With the success of the Freshmen and Juniors this season, the future for all three Post 218 teams looks great.
We'll get a look at our area high school football teams this Friday during jamborees at various locations.
Football's regular season kicks off Friday, Aug. 24.
A friendly reminder that high school football is beginning a new playoff format this season.
District play now will begin in week 10 after a nine-game regular season.
All teams qualify for district play, meaning every team will play at least 10 games.
A points system used during the regular season will determine district seeds and matchups.
The winner of each district advances to the state quarterfinals.
Class 4 District 3 should be super competitive with Borgia, St. Clair, Union, Pacific, Sullivan, Ladue, Westminster and Priory.
There are no pushovers in that district and some potential great matchups.
Washington is in Class 5 District 4 with Camdenton, Lebanon, Rolla, Waynesville and Smith-Cotton.
Once again, I don't see any pushovers in that district.
There also is news involving area teams and their conferences.
For Borgia, the news is it is no longer an independent. The school is in the AAA (Archdiocesan Athletic Association) with the likes of St. Mary's, St. Dominic, Trinity, John F. Kennedy, Cardinal Ritter, Lutheran St. Charles, Bishop DuBourg, Christian and Duchesne.
The Gateway Athletic Conference says goodbye to Duchesne and adds Orchard Farm and Winfield. The league also has gone from two to three divisions.
Washington now is in the GAC Central Division with Ft. Zumwalt North, Ft. Zumwalt South, Ft. Zumwalt East and Holt.
There's a lot to look forward to for the upcoming football season.
How about Mizzou beginning play in the SEC and Jeff Fisher taking over the St. Louis Rams?
The Tigers play eight SEC games this season, beginning with Georgia Sept. 8 in Columbia.
Vanderbilt, Alabama and Kentucky also visit Faurot Field this season.
Mizzou travels to South Carolina, Florida, Tennessee and Texas A&M.
It's going to be tough sledding for the Tigers. I think they'll be able to compete, but it won't be easy.
Will the spread offense work against SEC defenses? What kind of numbers will receiver Dorial Green-Beckham produce in his freshman year? Will the MU defense be able to play physical and stop the run?
An educated guess would be the Tigers finish 7-5 overall and 4-4 in the SEC, which should get them to a bowl game.
Fisher, in time, is going to make the Rams a tougher, more physical, better team. It's just going to take some time.
Even after watching last Sunday's preseason game in Indianapolis where rookie quarterback Andrew Luck had way too much success, I still think the Rams defense will be above average.
There are a lot of promising young players like James Laurinaitis, Chris Long, Michael Brockers and Janoris Jenkins along with veterans Quintin Mikell and Cortland Finnegan.
I just think the offense is going to continue to struggle putting points on the scoreboard. The biggest key is whether the offensive line can hold up.
Teams are going to focus on stopping Steven Jackson. Sam Bradford needs time to throw the ball.
The Rams' schedule isn't easy. They play San Francisco twice along with games against Detroit, Washington, Chicago, Green Bay, New England, Buffalo and the New York Jets, just to name a few.
If the Rams can't rack up wins against division foes Seattle and Arizona along with Miami, Minnesota and Tampa Bay, it will be another long year.

WATCH: Kimberley man stranded in Honduras after accident leaves him severely injured
A Kimberley man seriously injured in Honduras is in desperate need of financial help.
Richard Bay was riding a motorcycle in a remote area of Honduras when he was hit by a bus.
Bay was airlifted to hospital in a private air ambulance. He had a shattered leg, a chunk of his calf was missing, as well as a broken hand and injured shoulder.
His overall recovery will likely take more than a year, so his family would like to get him back to Canada as soon as possible.
Bay had travel insurance, but it ran out.
His family now has to pay out of pocket: $35,000 in medical costs and counting.
He also needs $43,000 for an air ambulance to bring him home.

ON THIS PAGE: You will find out more about the factors that increase the chance of developing this type of cancer. To see other pages, use the menu.
A risk factor is anything that increases a person's chance of developing cancer. Although risk factors often influence the development of cancer, most do not directly cause cancer. Some people with several risk factors never develop cancer, while others with no known risk factors do. However, knowing your risk factors and talking about them with your doctor may help you make more informed lifestyle and health care choices.
The following factors may raise a woman's risk of developing cervical cancer:
Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. The most important risk factor for cervical cancer is infection with HPV. Research shows that infection with this virus is a risk factor for cervical cancer. Sexual activity with someone who has HPV is the most common way someone gets HPV. There are different types of HPV, called strains.
Immune system deficiency. Women with lowered immune systems have a higher risk of developing cervical cancer. A lowered immune system can be caused by immune suppression from corticosteroid medications, organ transplantation, treatments for other types of cancer, or from the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), which is the virus that causes acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). When a woman has HIV, her immune system is less able to fight off early cancer.
Herpes. Women who have genital herpes have a higher risk of developing cervical cancer.
Smoking. Women who smoke are about twice as likely to develop cervical cancer as women who do not smoke.
Age. Girls younger than 15 rarely develop cervical cancer. The risk goes up between the late teens and mid-30s. Women over 40 remain at risk and need to continue having regular cervical cancer screenings, which include both a Pap test and HPV test.
Race/Ethnicity. Cervical cancer is more common among black women, Hispanic women, and American Indian women.
Oral contraceptives. Some research studies suggest that oral contraceptives, which are birth control pills, may be associated with an increase in the risk of cervical cancer. However, more research is needed to understand how oral contraceptive use and the development of cervical cancer are connected.
Exposure to diethylstilbestrol (DES). Women whose mothers were given this drug during pregnancy to prevent miscarriage have an increased risk of developing a rare type of cancer of the cervix or vagina. DES was given for this purpose from about 1940 to 1970. Women exposed to DES should have an annual pelvic examination that includes a cervical Pap test as well as a four-quadrant Pap test, in which samples of cells are taken from all sides of the vagina to check for abnormal cells.
Research continues to look into what factors cause this type of cancer and what women can do to lower their personal risk. There is no proven way to completely prevent this disease, but there may be steps you can take to lower your cancer risk. Talk with your doctor if you have concerns about your personal risk of developing this type of cancer.
The next section in this guide is Screening and Prevention. It explains how tests may find precancer and cancer before signs and symptoms appear. Or, use the menu to choose another section to continue reading this guide.

The Good Pirates of the Forgotten Bayous: Fighting to Save a Way of Life in the Wake of Hurricane Katrina (Hardcover)
Fighting to Save a Way of Life in the Wake of Hurricane Katrina
Yale University Press, 9780300121520, 245pp.
Publication Date: August 1, 2008
With a long and colorful family history of defying storms, the seafaring Robin cousins of St. Bernard Parish, Louisiana, make a fateful decision to ride out Hurricane Katrina on their hand-built fishing boats in a sheltered Civil War-era harbor called Violet Canal. But when Violet is overrun by killer surges, the Robins must summon all their courage, seamanship, and cunning to save themselves and the scores of others suddenly cast into their care.
In this gripping saga, Louisiana native Ken Wells provides a close-up look at the harrowing experiences in the backwaters of New Orleans during and after Katrina. Focusing on the plight of the intrepid Robin family, whose members trace their local roots to before the American Revolution, Wells recounts the landfall of the storm and the tumultuous seventy-two hours afterward, when the Robins' beloved bayou country lay catastrophically flooded and all but forgotten by outside authorities as the world focused its attention on New Orleans. Wells follows his characters for more than two years as they strive, amid mind-boggling wreckage and governmental fecklessness, to rebuild their shattered lives. This is a story about the deep longing for home and a proud bayou people's love of the fertile but imperiled low country that has nourished them.
About the Author
Praise For The Good Pirates of the Forgotten Bayous: Fighting to Save a Way of Life in the Wake of Hurricane Katrina…
"Ken Wells is first and foremost a great reporter. Nothing escapes him, and yet every detail he includes counts. This book is literary journalism at its best."—Don Ranly, University of Missouri School of Journalism

Xerneas and Yveltal duking it out?
February's issue of Shogakukan's Coro Coro Comics magazine has new detials about the latest Pokémon movie, Pocket Monster XY: Hakai no Mayu (Pokemon XY: Cocoon of Destruction). The summer flick opens in Japan on July 19th, and you can bet it'll hit elsewhere shortly after. Hopefully.
Coro Coro's article hypes up a "magnificent battle" between the likes of legendaries Xerneas and Yveltal, and will feature Mega Evolutions and gaggles of legendary and mythical Pokémon. Fans in Japan will also be able to participate in a vote for the gift that will accompany advanced ticket purchases. You can choose from Jirachi, Victini, Manaphy, and Darkrai, all of whom will appear in the short before the film, "Pikachu, What's This Key For?" starring everyone's favorite electric mouse.
I haven't seen nearly any of the Pokémon movies aside from the first three that released back in the heyday of the franchise, but I'm still interested. I suppose once you're a Pokémon Master of cards and otherwise, you're always invested in the story. And that dangly key Pokémon Klefki is somehow involved. I'm interested. It's like, a keyring. A keyring.

Those were the days: no boats, no deficits and no faceless men. Just
Since leaving Parliament I have not been a big consumer of news media. Rarely a day has passed, however, without my noticing significant errors.
While few have been as bizarre as the Howard howler, each has contributed to a pattern of incompetence. For standards of professionalism and reliability, the media is Australia's most troubled institution.
This is evident in the findings of the 2010 Australian Election Study.
In its survey of public confidence, the press (19 per cent) and television (26 per cent) were regarded as the nation's least trustworthy organisations, significantly behind universities (80 per cent), major Australian companies (55 per cent) and the political system (53 per cent). When journalists talk about distrust of politicians, the problem is mild compared with how they themselves are perceived.
A decade ago I was one of those naive MPs making speeches about the unlimited potential of the Information Age. As the public has been exposed to extra sources of information, it has actually become more cynical about news coverage. Quantity has not guaranteed quality. If anything, we have entered a Misinformation Age, an era of irrationality and distrust in public life.
Thus the scientific evidence underpinning climate change has been widely discredited, generating grassroots scepticism. Internationally, the prospects of progressive politics – which have always relied on the values of humanism and rational debate – have never been more dismal.
And so the problem worsens. In an age of irrationality, standards are readily dispensable. Most media outlets now regard errors and unethical behaviour as unavoidable byproducts of an increasingly competitive industry.
Journalists have become like members of the Australian cricket team: once selected it is nearly impossible to be sacked. We can be certain, for instance, that the person responsible for returning Howard to the prime ministership is still at his desk today, getting ready to break the big news of September 11, 2001,
His soul mate is Neil Breen, the editor of Sydney's Sunday Telegraph, who in 2009 committed the mother of all howlers. On his front page he published fake photographs of a naked "
Finally, a delicious endnote. On December 28 in The Australian newspaper, George Megalogenis wrote about the Australian Election Study research on institutional confidence.
His article and accompanying graphic, however, contained errors – in one case, directly contradicting itself (mixing up the numbers for banks and financial institutions). In reporting that the media cannot be trusted, Megalogenis could not be trusted to get the facts right. Knowing News Ltd, he'll be an editor one day.

The purpose of this report is to outline a public policy agenda to broaden savings and asset ownership opportunities for people who have limited resources at their disposal. In developing our thinking on the subject, we have drawn on the research and expert analysis of many others in the field. The agenda we present here includes calls for new structures and policies at the federal level, as well as changes to existing tax systems, government programs, and financial products. Some of these policies are well developed, others need more seasoning, but all of them have the potential to contribute to the economic well-being of millions of American families. If we are to successfully broaden savings and asset ownership, our policy efforts must be expanded, strengthened, and directed toward those with the greatest need.
The terrain we cover is necessarily broad. We aim to highlight the potential of new forms of incentives, institutional support structures, and delivery mechanisms that can be created to support the savings and asset development process. The presentation of these ideas is organized around eleven main categories, covering such areas as savings policy, access to financial services, housing and homeownership, entrepreneurship, and financial education. Specifically, the innovative policies we describe are aimed at targeted populations that have often been left out of past efforts; however, they often have impact for families up and down the income scale and in multiple contexts. Policies to promote savings can be pursued across multiple levels of government, legislative, and regulatory structures and within industry.
Our agenda is expansive but not exhaustive. It is designed to reflect the most innovative and promising ideas, whether they are large or small, close to the finish line or in need of more incubation in an engaged policy development process. We also intend to capture much of the productive work that has occurred, both in terms of policy development and experience in the field, since we last published our policy agenda in the fall of 2008. During that time, a number of our colleagues working in organizations far and wide have made significant breakthroughs in their work that we strive to capture here. Concurrently, the policy process has unfolded with the arrival of the Obama administration and an active Congress that has passed legislation likely to remake the financial services landscape.
Not only has a new consumer watchdog been created with a mandate to promote access to fair and transparent financial services, but the administration has already implemented a number of savings provisions outlined previously and has proposed to incorporate others. Today, tax filers are able to split their tax refunds into multiple accounts and purchase savings bonds when they file their returns. It has been a dynamic time for the policy process, but much work remains to be done. Perhaps tomorrow, families with lower incomes will be able to be automatically enrolled in a savings plan and offered a targeted incentive to jump-start the savings process.
This policy agenda to promote savings and asset development is informed by the recognition that people have multiple savings needs, which become manifest at different moments in time across the life course. Accordingly, a range of policy supports is required. Most households can anticipate a need to draw down on assets in retirement and would benefit by having access to savings plans designed to facilitate asset accumulation over the long term. Much attention in policy circles has focused on restricted-use savings such as 401(k) accounts as a means to build wealth and promote retirement security. But families have intermediate and short-term needs as well. When there are insufficient levels of savings that can be tapped without restrictions, it can lead to costly economic choices. Households may forgo necessary purchases, rely on overdraft coverage (i.e. a loan made through their checking account), borrow from their employer or social network, or take on a high-cost loan. This underscores the need for policies that can fill this gap to support shorter-term and more-accessible savings.
This agenda is also informed by recent insights from the field of behavioral economics, which help to explain why individuals under-save as well as offering ways to increase savings outcomes. We have seen the potential of creating automatic mechanisms that support positive outcomes without requiring active participation. However, the best policy designs may be ones that take advantage of the power of defaults, or preferred choices at the same time that they trigger levels of engagement that can maximize impact. This is one of the sweet spots a policy agenda should strive to meet.
The Great Recession has been debilitating for many households, and yet families that entered the downturn with savings at their disposal were in a stronger position to weather the storm. That many households did not have access to these resources was one of the factors that made the crisis so devastating. To be sure, the loss of wealth continues to weaken the economy and the extent of the recovery remains uncertain. But the ability to build up household savings will go a long way toward enhancing how families navigate future economic uncertainties and ensuring that they can seize opportunities as they arise. This agenda is needed now more than ever.

Speaking to Videogamer about the now infamous Joker fatality, which sees the Gotham City villain pretend to shoot foes with a pretend pistol before firing a real bullet through the skull, the game's senior producer Hans Lo stated:
"That's partly true that the fatality has been edited. You know, for North America we have a Teen rating, and Teen really means 13 and above. 13 is pretty young, you have to admit. For Europe we have a 15, 16+ rating, so it's a bit different. I think you might have to go take a look."
And sure enough, the Joker fatality was there in its entirety in yesterday's UK press briefing.

The British Amateur Boxing Association (BABA) has named the 10 English members of the GB Boxing squad that will be seeded in the quarter-finals of England Boxing's National Senior Elite Men's Finals 2014.
The 10 boxers will not compete in the regional phase of the competition and will join the tournament for the final stages which will be held over three days at Echo Arena Liverpool on the weekend of 25-27 April.
The 10 seeded boxers includes seven members of GB Boxing's Podium Squad and three from its Podium Potential group and includes World and European Championship medallists and six former winners of the Elite National Championships.
Two of the biggest names include 2013 World Championship bronze medallist at middleweight, Antony Fowler, who will be competing in his hometown, and 2011 European Championship bronze medallist, Charlie Edwards, who will box at flyweight.
Also included are Liverpool's Sam Maxwell at light-welterweight and super-heavyweight, Frazer Clarke, who have just won gold at The Strandja Cup in Bulgaria in a tough international tournament.
Other members of the Podium Squad that have been seeded in the quarter-finals are bantamweight, Qais Ashfaq, light-heavyweight, Lawrence Osueke and heavyweight, Warren Baister.
The entries from the Podium Potential group include 2011 World and European Junior Champion, Pat McCormack, who will compete at lightweight, 2012 World Youth Champion, Oliver Simpson, at light-flyweight and Repton's Sam McNess at welterweight.
Edwards, Ashfaq, Maxwell, Fowler, Osueke and Baister are all previous winners of the Elite National Championships. Clarke and McNess have both been in finals. McCormack and Simpson are first time entrants in the Senior Championships.
Other members of the GB Boxing squad will also be competing in the tournament via the normal entry route and will compete in the regional phases of the competition and represent their home club.
"With six previous champions and a number of boxers that have won international tournaments this is a high quality list of entries that will significantly enhance the Championships and ensure that winning this year's tournament will be a very meaningful victory," said England Boxing board member and Chair of the Technical Rules and Championships Sub-Committee, Giorgio Brugnoli.
"We want to ensure this year's finals are the best possible showcase of young English talent and I would like to thank Rob McCracken and his coaching team at GB Boxing for their support of the national championships and working with us to ensure a high quality contingent from the GB squad are able to participate in the event. I have no doubt it will increase the quality and excitement of the finals weekend and deliver a great spectacle for fans."
The full list of seeded boxers is:

In a revamp of the latter stages of the competition, the quarter-finals, semis and finals will be held over three consecutive days of competition at the 5,000 plus seater, Echo Arena Liverpool and be televised on Sky Sports 2 from 2000-2200 on Friday 2nd May 2014.
The quarter-finals will be held after the regional stages of the Championships which will be completed by 13 April 2014. At this point there will be 12 Regional Association winners plus one GB Boxing nominated entry, meaning there will be 13 boxers in each weight category.
The process for reducing these 13 boxers down to the eight required for the quarter-finals is set out below:
The GB Boxing nominated entry will be seeded No.1
Two other boxers, selected by the Technical & Rules Sub Committee will become seed No. 2 and seed No.3
The 10 remaining boxers will compete in five pre quarter-final bouts
The five winners of the pre quarter-final bouts will join the three seeded boxers in the draw for the quarter finals.
Pre quarter-finals:
There will be two pre quarter-final tournaments, one in the North Zone to take place in Tyne Tees & Wear and one in the South Zone to take place in Combined Services Boxing Association
Depending on which Association the No.2 and No.3 Seed boxer is selected from, this will determine how many boxers are left within the North Zone and how many boxers are left in the South Zone. If there are an equal number of boxers in the North Zone, then these boxers will compete in the North Zone Pre Quarter Final and equally the same ruling for the South Zone
Should a boxer from the North Zone have to compete against a boxer from the South Zone, every effort will be made to minimise travel by deciding whether the bout takes place in the North or in the South, however these factors will not compromise the process of selecting seeds
Should any weight category have less than 13 boxers entered after the Association Finals have been completed, there will be a sliding scale of how many pre quarter-final bouts will be required and the use of byes may come into play
Clubs or members that have further questions about the format should contact their Regional Association, their Club Support Officer or England Boxing directly via firstname.lastname@example.com or Freephone number 0800 023 2692.

With one week remaining in the regular season, the home stretch begins tonight for three area teams.
Marlington (15-5) will host Tuslaw (11-8). West Branch (5-15) visits Poland Seminary (18-2). Sebring (7-13) travels to Lisbon (17-4).
The Dukes will play their second straight opponent from the Principals Athletic Conference. They beat the Fairless, Tuslaw's neighboring conference rival, 49-44 in overtime last Saturday.
Fairless and Tuslaw split regular-season games. The Mustangs won 50-45 in the first meeting, while the Falcons prevailed 50-41 in the rematch.
"They like to play zone like Fairless, but they're different (offensively)," Marlington head coach Nick Evanich said. "They (Tuslaw) have more guys who will shoot it and they will shoot the ball quicker."
Tuslaw, which upset Northeastern Buckeye Conference champion Canton South in the Canton Division II tournament last season and advanced to the district semifinals before losing to Akron St. Vincent-St. Mary, is led by 6-5 senior John Getz, who can play multiple positions. The Mustangs also have size, headed by 6-10 sophomore John Carroll.
"They have a lot of length and they're very good at using their length on defense," Evanich said. "They will play a 2-3 zone, a 3-2 zone and man-to-man. They also go 11 deep."
Poland Seminary, piloted by veteran head coach Ken Grisdale,, also relies on numbers and versatility.
"They are talented and deep," West Branch head coach Lou Sellaroli said. "They can grind it out, or they can score a lot of points quickly."
Poland, which competes in the All-American Conference, humbled rival Howland 92-49 in its most recent game. The Bulldogs also split two games against the Canfield Cardinals, another conference competitor, losing 55-51 and winning 50-49, and defeated the Austintown Fitch Falcons, another AAC foe, twice.
Canfield also defeated West Branch decisively.
"They do a lot of similar things that Canfield does," Sellaroli said. "They will run sets, but they'll also look to run."
Poland is led by Jacob Wolfe, the quarterback on the football team, but it also has defensive stopper George Chammas, Kyle Dixon and Dan Black. The bench has produced when called upon. Austin Wilson scored a team-high 23 points in a 67-54 win over Leavittsburg LaBrae, a Division III state semifinalist last season.
"They have a lot of 6-3 and 6-4 kids who can play a lot of positions," Sellaroli said.
Lisbon reloaded with several freshmen last season and has prospered this year under head coach Chris Huchshold.
"They have a good core group of kids back from last year," Sebring head coach Josh Scott explained.
"They're a conventional team in terms of style of play. They will play man-to-man defense and they'll run a bunch of sets on offense, using a lot of screens."
The Blue Devils, who compete in the Inter Tri County Upper Tier, lost twice to the Springfield Local, Tigers the divisional champion. The other setbacks were to South Range and Rootstown.
Six-five senior Ben Spencer is the most experienced starter.
"They have good overall size and they're long," Scott said. "They're a challenge, because they're good in a half-court game."

Augusto Palacios is confident Orlando Pirates can brush off early-season issues in front of goal in time for Friday's Absa Premiership opener against Golden Arrows.
The defending league champions were reliant on some dodgy Kaizer Chiefs defending, and a last minute Benni McCarthy strike, for the victory on penalties over Kaizer Chiefs in the Carling Black Label Cup.
And last Friday, the Buccaneers had another goal-shy evening, needing a controversial late penalty to take down Bloemfontein Celtic in the MTN8 quarter-finals.
The loss of Tokelo Rantie, who formed an excellent partnership with Benni McCarthy last season, certainly appears to have had an early effect, but the Pirates coach did not seem unduly concerned, as he faced the media at Rand Stadium on Wednesday.
"I think it is the finishing that is a problem," said Palacios.
"But myself, I never blame the players. If we put in a clear picture, there was a shot by (Ndumiso) Mabena against Celtic, and then Daine Klate was alone and needed to be cool," added the Pirates coach, on an excellent chance the Bucs winger spurned at the end of the first half last Friday.
"We created chances. It also happened in the second half. In training we have been trying to arrive in the box in numbers and to be cool.
"We need to correct our mistakes and get back to our goalscoring combinations.
"To win with a penalty can happen in any game. We always insist on attack.
"If we were looking for extra time, we would never have attacked."
Mabena was the chosen partner for McCarthy against Celtic, and it remains to be seen if he is retained for the Arrows clash. The 25-year-old striker netted just three league goals last season and admitted he is keen to improve this season, though he has refused to set himself a target.
"I am just telling myself I have to convert all the chances I get inside the box."
With the potential talent available to Pirates, Mabena admits that there is no room for complacency in the Buccaneers line-up.
"It is not easy because there is no room for any lazy player in this team. It's all about Pirates, and not the individual," said Mabena.
"Playing with Benni gives me confidence that I am doing something very well that the coach needs at training – so I need to take that into the game."
One man Pirates will not be fielding for a while, it seems, is their new Zimbabwean striker, Takesure Chinyama. Palacios says it will take a while for Chinyama to adapt to the Pirates way.
"When we think he is ready he can play," said Palacios.
"It is not easy to play the type of football that Pirates play. You need to look at the different combinations of strikers in the team. He is new to the team and we need to mould him into the combinations we have. And there is a physical aspect. When he arrived we needed the physical trainer to work him individually. We did the same with (Onyekachi) Okonkwo. Some players train individually to try to arrive at the level of other players."
Pirates, of course, have raked in the trophies in the last couple of seasons, picking up the so-called "double-treble".
But Palacios does not appear to feel any extra pressure from defending silverware.
"I don't think about the Telkom or the MTN8. Any coach at Pirates, Chiefs, Sundowns and Swallows is under pressure – you always need to win.
"I must not take into consideration the past, I must take what happens now for me, and for me it is to win games.
"But with the quality of the players we have and the high spirit, I have confidence we can deliver." – The Star

Brokate Janitorial Sets $25,000 Donation Goal for 2014
SPRINGFIELD, MO — As a local family-owned business, Brokate Janitorial has always looked for ways to give back to the Ozark communities it serves. Over the years, the company has been active in many local fundraisers and worked with local organizations to help with their cleaning needs. Like many individuals and businesses, Brokate Janitorial pitched in when it was financially able to, and was for a cause they believed in.
In 2013, Cheyne Brokate, vice president of operations, came up with an idea to expand on how the company approached charitable giving. "I felt it was time our company added charitable giving to our annual goals and budgeting. We felt strongly about the giving we did, and always struggled with deciding how much and how often to give."
After going over the numbers and projections for 2014, the company decided on $25,000 in donated services and cash donations. Before the initiative had even launched, Cheyne inked an agreement to provide free year-round janitorial services to the Salvation Army of Branson. This agreement puts Brokate Janitorial $5,000 closer towards reaching or beating their goal.
"If you know of a great charity / local non-profit group that needs help with some floor waxing, carpet cleaning or office cleaning service, please have them give us a call. There are so many great organizations we have yet to work with, and hope to spread our giving out throughout the year. We might not be able to help them all, but we'll sure do what we can."
The company plans to track the results all year long on it's website www.brokatejanitorial.com. For more information on how to apply, or to get more information you can contact Brokate Janitorial at their Branson office (417) 338-4809 or their Springfield office (417) 885-9000.
ABOUT BROKATE JANITORIAL: Brokate Janitorial is a local family-owned business that has served Southwest Missouri since 1995. Brokate Janitorial is the only cleaning service with offices in both Springfield and Branson, Missouri. Offering office cleaning and janitorial services to all types of facilities and businesses in Southwest Missouri.
