WICHITA - Two nights, hundreds of cookies and thousands of laughs later, the Santa Barbara Foresters bus arrived in Wichita, KS, at about 5:30 a.m. on Tuesday for the National Baseball Congress World Series. It's strange, but no one seems to remember anything specific about the ride. When you spend 26 of 29 hours in a rolling metal tube, all the card games, iPod songs, movie-quote recitations and uncomfortable nap attempts just blend into a massive mission in which the only goal is to eat up time as the team's beloved 1978 MC-9 eats up highway.

Players are on their second break of the day and it seems that Wednesday has so far been a day for the pros. David Williams still leads the entire field of more than 2,300 players having a six-figure stack after two levels. Up more than $130,000 at one point, Williams gave some back during the last 15 minutes, but is still the top dog so far.

CHARLOTTE, NC-From the outside, it resembles a brick storage unit, but once you go inside, all bets are off! "I've told a lot of people I have a man cave in a storage unit, I don't think they can imagine what's here." There's no junk in Drew Stewart's storage space, just the finest toys a man could want.

Last year, eight days after his own wedding, Matt Matros was in Las Vegas trying to win a World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet, and his wife was back home in New York. What a honeymoon. To be fair, Matros's wife knew what she was getting into. The two had been dating for about six years when they got married, and Matros has been a regular winner at the WSOP since 2005, essentially doubling his buy-ins over a five-year period.

Let's tell the truth: Women are, for the most part, more anxious than men. I think I finally know why. If you give a man a big problem to solve, he'll say, "OK, OK, I'll deal with it. Just give me a second." You come back a few hours later, and he's drinking a beer and watching a YouTube clip on his computer.

Like many of you -- yes, I'm talking to you, Henry and Elsie Hillman -- I was disappointed last week to see a non-American at the top of Forbes' list of the world's richest people. It just seems so, well, un-American for the person whose net worth is valued at $53.5 billion to be Carlos Slim of Mexico.

MASHANTUCKET, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--It's not uncommon for people to "win big" at Foxwoods, North America's largest resort casino - but for native Bostonian, John Flanagan, hitting the jackpot took on an entirely different meaning when he and his Nashville-based glam rock band took home the top honors at the "Wonder of it All" finals, held on Saturday, February 27 at the legendary Fox Theater.

This column usually tells travelers how to save money. But this week, in the spirit of the season, I'm offering tips on how travelers can give away their cash and time to charities. Giving can be as painless as donating a few frequent-flier miles, joining a short charity walk on a cruise ship or sanding a picnic table for a couple of hours at a national park.

It may be an innocent game of bingo at the local church hall, but it's being watched by the state. Closely. Charitable gaming, the most innocuous subcategory of gambling regulated by the state Division of Special Revenue, includes bingo, sealed-ticket machines, even cow chip raffles. And for many nonprofits and service organizations, this type of revenue generator is a lifeline, especially during dark economic times.

Bernie Sanders, the Senate's only self-proclaimed socialist, has placed a hold on Ben Bernanke's nomination to a second term as Fed chair, apparently on the grounds that Bernanke hasn't proven he's competent to run the place. Economics of Contempt echoes the charge, and names what are indisputably two sizeable mistakes.

What started out as one of the most highly anticipated MTV Video Music Awards in years on Sept. 12 in New York City soon became Taylor Swift's worst nightmare. The 19-year-old country singer accepted her VMA award for "Best Female Video" with kind words to her audience. "I sing country music so thank you so much for giving me a chance to win a VMA award," Swift said.

It's not about just the music. Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Janelle Monae and others never break character. But is it real or merely an elaborate act? Lady Gaga wants you to know she is not a Method actor. The 23-year-old ing nue behind hits like "Poker Face" and "Paparazzi" does believe in cultivating what thespians call "theatrical truth." But while devotees use the exercises developed by the late Lee Strasberg and others to go deep into character and pull themselves out again, Gaga has made artifice her permanent home.

Finishing up on my blog, will give me more time for other things that I should be doing. First, is more and longer walks. Next comes working in my back yard before the rainy season starts. My gardeners do a lot of the work in the back yard, but I never know what flowers they have just cut off. Some of the bulbs should be dug up, and saved for next year.

Northbeach isn't anyone's favorite bar - which is odd. The bayside location is unbeatable. The generous amount of outdoor seating cools down the vibe and reminds one of a beer garden. But the stony staff and the occasional metal-detector wand create an undercurrent of hostility; the secluded and unlit parking lot never feels safe; the drinks are awful.

LAS VEGAS - As he watched the action of the $50,000 H.O.R.S.E. World Championship early Saturday night, World Series of Poker Commissioner Jeffrey Pollack had a wide smile on his face as he motioned to the crowd hovering along the rail. The fans were standing two and three deep in most spots and the amount of camera bulbs that were flashing made it look like a red carpet at the opening of a blockbuster motion picture.
