Red Potato Ham and Cheese Pie
I stopped at the store the other day and came home with a couple of pounds of gorgeous locally grown red potatoes. At first, I was thinking of making a garlic mash with them and then I thought maybe some good old fashioned scallop potatoes. I could not decide and then I figured it out… I wanted to make a Red Potato Ham and Cheese Pie. I imagined a savory red potato pie without a crust but with chopped ham, onions, garlic, fresh shaved Parmesan and Oregon's own Tillamook cheddar cheese. I wanted to make it kind of like an "impossible pie".
My Red Potato Ham and Cheese Pie is a lovely dish to serve at a Sunday brunch or with a cup of soup or salad for lunch or dinner. I ate my slice of Red Potato Ham and Cheese Pie with a perfectly cooked over easy egg on the side. It was absolutely delicious! Enjoy! – Tessa
- 1 1/2 pounds red potatoes
- 1 1/2 cups chopped ham
- 1 cup shredded medium cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup shaved Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup medium diced onion
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tsp. ground coriander
- 1 tsp. garlic paste
- 1/2 tsp. fresh grated nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp. white pepper
- salt to taste (it all depends on the saltiness of the ham)
Begin by boiling your red potatoes in salted water until just fork tender. Whatever you do, just do not over cook the potatoes. You want to be able to slice them thinly later. Remove cooked potatoes from water and let cool. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Grab a nine inch diameter spring-form pan and spray with non stick cooking spray. Line the bottom of the spring-form pan with parchment paper. Spray again with non-stick spray.
Begin by slicing the red potatoes (with peels on) into no more than 1/4 inch thin slices using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer. Set potatoes aside. In a mixing bowl whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, coriander, garlic, nutmeg and white pepper. Salt only if you think that you need it.
Take one third of your potatoes and layer the bottom of the spring-form pan. Overlapping the potatoes is fine, leaving gaps on the bottom is not. I found I preferred to use the ugliest of the slices and bits of the potato on the bottom of the pie that way the pretty slices are used in the second and top layer. Add one third of the shredded cheese, chopped onion, ham and egg mixture. Repeat two more times alternating potato, cheese, onion, ham and egg mixture.
Place pie in the oven on a cookie sheet (to catch any drips) and bake for about 50-55 minutes until the pie is golden brown on top and the egg mixture has set. Remove from oven, let rest 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with shaved Parmesan cheese and sprigs of fresh picked herbs. Makes 8 slices.
Notes: If you don't have a spring-form pan, it's no big deal! Just work with what you have. Use a baking dish large enough to fit all your ingredients and make at least 2-3 layers. Don't worry about the parchment paper either. I just used it to get perfect slices out of the spring-form pan. Just follow the recipe, cut into squares and serve!

2011 Commencement Speech by Chris Waddell '91
Trustees, faculty, friends, family, but mostly graduating seniors. Congratulations. I'm happy to be a part of this glorious day and happy to be back at Middlebury. It's never hard to get me to return to this beautiful place, though invariably someone reminds me that I wouldn't get in now. So, to you graduating seniors, I say thank you from my parents. You've made their investment back in the late '80s and early '90s that much more valuable. I'm not sure there's a market that will let them sell high, but people look at me differently as a result of that piece of paper that hangs on the wall in my office. Thank you.
To me the beauty of Middlebury is the community, and we will come back around to that at the end. I know some of you have yet to go to bed, squeezing those last few drops out of the community. No need to worry, that community, those friends, don't end today. Instead the community grows. Three of my best friends graduated seven years before I did. I used to think that the admissions office did a great job and I still do, but it must be something else. Maybe it's the mud season that lasts from March right up to exams, when the tantalizing sun pops out just as you're about to learn a semester's worth of Macro Economics. Maybe it's the runs on the golf course or covered bridge during the fall foliage. Maybe the hikes up Snake Mountain. Maybe those cold, wet November winds sliding off the Adirondacks and right through you. Maybe the relationships with friends, professors, deans. Ben and Jerry's at lunch and dinner. No matter where you go you will have a Middlebury friend.
As I competed throughout the world my teammates asked me how big is that school? Mt. Hutt, Vail, Val d' Isere, Sydney, Atlanta. No matter where I went there was always a Middlebury friend there. It's a tight group. There is resentment however. Oh, you're another Middlebury person. To those who resent, they had a choice. They just chose wrong.
These speeches are supposed to have a theme. So I'll tell you what that is right now, "It's not what happens to you. It's what you do with what happens to you," which happens to be the philosophy on which I've based my foundation. As I sat in my office trying to figure out what to say, there was a piece of a song in my head. "No straight lines make up my life." I struggled for the connecting lyrics, but couldn't move past that one line. I searched my mind for the singer, thinking it sounded '60s, '70s, and maybe a woman. Nothing, so I hit Google.
Harry Chapin, the '60s/'70s storyteller.
"No straight lines make up my life. All my roads have bends, there's no clear-cut beginning and so far no dead ends."
No matter who we are. No matter how well educated we are. No matter how successful we are. No matter how well we insulate ourselves, something will happen that cuts us to the bone. Something will force us to question ourselves and the formative decisions that we've made. Whether death of a loved one: parent, friend, child, disease, accident, divorce, bankruptcy, something will happen. That's when the idea of it's not what happens to you, it's what you do with what happens to you, comes into play.
A couple of years ago I returned home from a long trip. I'd been in Tibet, so it was 16 hours of driving over bumpy dirt roads to China and then a flight halfway across the world back home. At home I wanted to get my mail. I have one of those collective mailboxes at the end of the street. I parked my car and started pulling my chair out, putting the wheels on when this little girl rode by on her little pink bike with streamers coming off the handlebars.
She might have been six. She said, "What happened to your legs?"
Now, I've just flown halfway across the world. I didn't really feel like having a conversation with a six year old. Nothing against six year olds, I just didn't feel like having a conversation with one. But, from the time we're little we're taught not to stare at someone who looks different, aren't we? So I told the girl, "I was a ski racer in college. My first day of Christmas vacation my brother and I went to our home mountain to train. With some childhood friends we took a couple of warm-up runs. My ski popped off in the middle of the turn. I fell in the middle of the trail, hitting nothing but the ground."
I tried to explain it in a way that she could understand, "You know those little bumps on your back. Those are bones. They protect your nerves, which carry messages from your brain to the rest of your body. I broke two of those bones, damaging the nerves, so the messages don't go from my brain to my legs and my legs back to my brain.
I didn't know how I was doing. Apparently pretty well. She said, "You'll never walk again?"
I said, "No. Probably not."
As she rode away, she said, "That's too bad."
I wish that I'd stopped her. If I'd never had my accident I never would have been the best in the world at anything. I was the best monoskier in the world. I never would of turned a hobby into a profession. Wouldn't have acted in a soap opera. Wouldn't have had the guts to address all of you. Wouldn't have been in People magazine. I wouldn't have competed as a professional athlete for 15 years after I graduated. I wouldn't have met presidents and heads of state. The Dalai Lama (okay, maybe I would have met the Dalai Lama because I met him here). That little girl saw the tragedy, but she didn't see the potential gift.
I know that all of you have great plans. Some plans are better formed than others, but don't be bound solely to those plans. Life is fluid. Sometimes when things don't work out, it's the greatest gift of all.
How often have we all said, "The best laid plans of mice and men," partially quoting a line from Robert Burns, "The best laid plans of mice and men often go awry and leave us nothing but pain and sorrow for promised joy."
The author, plowing his field at the end of the season, cuts through the mouse's home destroying it. He laments the coming, cold, dark skies of winter, all the hard work by the mouse, the loss of a cozy little home. The mouse just runs away. At one point recently I said to my yoga teacher that I thought I still needed some form of acceptance for my accident. She said, "It's not acceptance. It's just a change in direction."
People often ask me if I could go back and change history would I? It took me a while at first because it would be great to be six feet again. When you're 4'10" the view doesn't change that much and it's often not that great.
I wouldn't trade the accident for the experiences that I've had. I wouldn't trade walking for the person that I've become. It makes me wonder. Looking back at myself when I was in college my plans weren't well formed, but I can tell you for a fact that they didn't include any of what I've done, and also I know for a fact that there wouldn't have been any "straight lines."
We started with the idea of the community. You are joining the Middlebury Alumni, which is an amazing community, but there needs to be something more. Look around. If this is your community, what does it say about the world as you see it? Everyone is intelligent, good looking, at least relatively well off, motivated, creative, hard working, successful. This community represents such a small part of the world.
When I had my accident my world switched. I spent 20 years as a white male, suddenly in a moment I became a minority. I didn't think I'd changed but the way people treated me changed. I often see the best and most generous side of people, but I also see the most condescending and dismissive side as well.
If we are going to be successful, we need to create a community that is successful, a community that allows us to risk and fail in order to succeed. I started with the theme of "It's not what happens to you. It's what you do with what happens to you." Sometimes we need to give someone a hand up, just to reach that point.
Holocaust survivor and psychologist, Viktor Frankl said, "Success like happiness can't be pursued. It must ensue as the unintended byproduct of one's personal dedication to a cause greater than oneself."
As you leave this wonderful community and join an even more wonderful one, remember that you are responsible for creating the community around you, bringing others into that greatness.
Thank you. Congratulations. Best of luck.

Jet spaces as nonrigid Carnot groups
Ben WarhurstB. Warhurst
School of Mathematics
Sydney 2052 Australia
Abstract: We define a product on the jet spaces $J^k(\R^m,\R^n)$ which makes them Carnot groups. The Carnot group contact structure coincides with the classical contact structure in the Lie-Bäcklund setting. Therefore, by prolongation, they are nonrigid Carnot groups, meaning that the space of contact maps is infinite dimensional. We also show that strata dimensions are not rigidity invariants. This is demonstrated by constructing two distinct Carnot groups with strata dimensions $(3,2,1)$ but with opposite rigidity.

St. Thomas Academy's game is all about speed and finesse. Give the Cadets' forwards an inch, maybe less, and they'll strain the local power grid by lighting up every bulb on the scoreboard.
Minnetonka? These are not the barnstorming, run-and-gun Skippers of years past.
This is a team built more out of the mold of Jimmy Schuldt, a hard-as-nails senior defenseman who protects the Skippers' net the way a timberwolf guards a scrap of meat.
"We were an offensive juggernaut last year, and this year it's a total 180," Minnetonka senior goaltender Paul Ciaccio said. "We've got guys like (senior Tommy Vannelli) and (Schuldt) backing up the defense. There are going to be a lot of gritty one-goal wins, just like today.
"It will be a grind this year. A lot different than what we've had in the past."
One constant at Minnetonka, though, no matter the style of play, is Max Coatta scoring clutch goals.

The precocious "Hat-trick Kid" who burst on the scene as freshman with a knack for finding the net, is a senior now. He's a little bigger and a lot stronger. He's also added an extra gear, which just leads to more big goals.
Coatta scored on a 2-on-1 rush in the third period – banking a shot in off the crossbar –to help propel No. 3 Minnetonka past two-time defending state Class 1A champion St. Thomas Academy 3-1 on Thursday, Dec. 6, at the Pagel Activity Center.
"That was a phenomenal shot," St. Thomas Academy coach Greg Vannelli said. "He hit the pipe just perfect.
"He hit a perfect shot when he had to, what can you say?"
The 2-on-1 was a rarity in a game notable for its clogged neutral zone. When either team did manage to get control the puck in the offensive zone, the shots were mostly limited to the outside. Minnetonka coach Brian Urick said he counted one odd-man rush allowed by the unbeaten and No. 3-ranked Skippers (5-0-0).
"We tried something new tonight, with clogging up the neutral zone," Urick said. "We made sure we had a forward back at all times, taking away their speed in the neutral zone. For the most part our guys did well and kind of bottled them up."
Meanwhile, the two-time defending state Class 1A champion Cadets' lone glaring defensive breakdown was the one that cost them the game.
"Our D went up with the play," Greg Vannelli said. "Typically in a 1-1 game you try to stay a little more conservative still. But he just made a decision, a quick decision and that's how it turned into a 2-on-1."
With the game hanging in the balance, Coatta made a decision, too. To shoot.
"(Ramsey) did a great job of going to the net," Coatta said. "And he made the defenseman choose either me or him. And I just let 'er go."
The goal was the Coatta's sixth of the season and 66th of his career. Only Urick, with 67, and Jack Paul, with 72, have scored more goals for the Skippers. Coatta's 142 career points is second to Paul's 144.
"I was hoping he wasn't going to try to pass it," Urick said. "Ramsey was on his backhand, and the backchecker was catching Ramsey.
"So I was hoping (Coatta) would fire that one. That was a howitzer.
"Four years he's been doing that."

Max Coatta
Senior forward Max Coatta scored with 7 minutes, 7 seconds remaining to boost No. 3 Minnetonka past No. 1 (Class 1A) St. Thomas Academy 3-1 on Thursday, Dec. 6 in a defensive slugfest at the Pagel Activity Center in Minnetonka.
Coatta, a four-year varsity regular and a goal scorer from Day 1, raced down the right side and, with junior Jack Ramsey on his left, fired a shot over Cadets' goaltender David Zevnik's catching glove, off the crossbar and down into the net.
The loud clang that signaled Coatta's goal touched off a wild celebration in the Skippers' student section.
Defenseman Tommy Vannelli added an empty net goal with 36 seconds left on a 180-foot flip shot that sailed toward the rafters then bounced several times before skidding into the net.
Minnetonka (5-0-0) opened the scoring, as senior defenseman Joe Lindberg slammed home a rebound shot on a power play just 3:54 into the opening period.
Defense and goaltending took over from there, as both teams clogged the neutral zone and both goaltenders -- Paul Ciaccio made 24 saves for the Skippers, and Zevnik had 17 stops -- were sharp.
St. Thomas Academy (2-1-0), the two-time defending state Class 1A champion, tied it at 1 in the third on a rising shot from the point through heavy traffic by senior defenseman T.J. Samec. The power-play goal came 7:39 into the final period.
1. Max Coatta, Minnetonka
Don't look now, but the kid they call "Moose" isn't a kid anymore. Coatta, a senior who has been scoring big goals since his freshman year, banked home the game-winner off the crossbar in the third period, a laser shot that standout goaltender David Zevnik – or any goaltender, for that matter – had no chance of stopping.
2. Jimmy Schuldt, Minnetonka
The rock of a defenseman remained unrattled despite taking on wave after wave of talented Cadets' forwards. Schuldt's breakout passes helped the Skippers routinely escape their zone, and he was his usual physical self while managing to stay out of the penalty box.
3. Tom Novak, St. Thomas Academy
The sophomore center won most every faceoff he took, and his slick stickhandling set up linemates Christiano Versich and Alex Johnson for several scoring chances.

We first did this project in the fall of 2009. We made sets that spelled the words: BOO, FUN, JOY, LOVE and FAMILY. Suni made an awesome family set, but I never quite got mine finished. I created a .pdf for anyone who wanted to use it for printing their own letters. Some people didn't like the fact that the letters were combined on the same sheet (if you wanted the word boo, you also got the letters for fun). I always meant to fix it, but lost the file when my hard drive crashed a few months back.
Since then, I've come up with a few other ideas for this project...
Mother's Day is a few short months away. I'm going to make a set spelling the word M-O-M featuring pictures of each of my children... equally nice will be a set for my MIL featuring her kids and grandkids.
I also just had a friend celebrate a son's marriage. We're waiting to get the photographs back to make a set using their wedding pictures and the date 2-0-1-0.
I'm putting these ideas out across the world wide web as a way to inspire you.... and to make sure that I get my projects done!
Here is the original Letter Blocks PDF (it spells the words BOO, FUN, JOY, LOVE, FAMILY --using all the letters over three different pages).
Here is the new Letter Blocks 2 PDF. This one offers three options: FAMILY, 2010, MOM. One word per page, but I'd still recommend printing it several times using different scrapbook paper (you can give the extra letters to a friend.) If the word didn't fill the page, I created a couple different font options of some of the letters. Also note that I used different fonts to spell the word FAMILY. If you want the same fonts as the one in the picture, you'll need to use the original Letter file.
You can easily make up your own words using letters large enough to fill the block. Our letters have been set up for blocks measuring 3.25".
For you to Gather:
3 - 6 blocks (depending on the word you're featuring).
Coordinating scrapbook papers to match theme (make sure you have extra squares to cover top and bottoms of blocks)
Decoupage Glue - We like ModPodge's Matte Glue
Printer -black ink works best for printing letters
Foam Brush
Sanding Block (Not really needed, but it goes a long way to saving your hands during the sanding process!)
Distress Ink or Chalk and Finishing Spray
9 - 18 pictures formatted to fit your blocks. The Photo Wizard will help you format your pictures to fit our blocks perfectly!
Step 1:
Determine the theme that you want to display.
Pick coordinating paper to match your word choice. 12x12 scrapbook paper works great. Just trim the paper to 8.5 x 11 before feeding it through your printer. Save any extra scraps for covering the top and bottom of the blocks. Print one of our letter block .pdfs, (see above) or your own letters on your selected papers. Cut out each square using the trim markings. (Trim depends on the block size that you're using. Project formatted to Stories by Me blocks.)
Step 2:
Prepare your pictures. You have two options here. Either print each picture to be at least as large as your blocks. Use the edge of the block to trace around each picture and cut away the excess. Or, you can use the Photo Wizard to get your picture to the exact size that is needed for this project. Need help using the Photo Wizard. See our demo. Still need help? We're only a mouse click away. Just email us at email@example.com. Cut each picture to size.
Be sure to print your pictures using a LASER printer! Ink jet colors tend to smear when they get wet!!
Step 3: The cut ends of the wood absorb more glue than the grained ends. Before beginning this step, apply a thin layer of glue of glue to the ends with the rougher (cut) surfaces. Let glue dry.
Apply a thin layer of glue to the first side of one block. Place picture over glue and press in to place. Remove any air bubbles. While the glue is drying, repeat the process for other blocks. Check for overhanging paper edges. It is important to WAIT for the glue to dry before attempting to remove any excess paper. Add picture's 2 and 3 following same procedure. Once all of the picture are in place, add one letter square to each block. Complete this step by adding a decorative top and bottom paper square to each block. Don't worry about matching sides. A random look is great!
Step 4:
Once the glue is dry, carefully sand the edges of each block. Add a distress look by rubbing ink or chalk along the sides of each square to darken the exposed wood and remove any white paper edge.
Protect your project with several light coats of decoupage glue or matte Acrylic spray.
That's all that's to it! Remember, you CAN'T ruin this project. Fix any mistakes by simply sanding down the offending side and adding another layer.
Sit back, enjoy your handiwork and start telling the stories that accompany each picture!

Gourmet Prep Meals
Gourmet Prep is a social venture that sells and delivers fresh ready-to-cook recipe kits to busy families that want to prepare quick, healthy meals at home. At its heart is a program in entrepreneurship that employs, trains and nurtures aging-out foster youth so that they can become financially independent.
Gourmet Prep has two distinctly equal parts, a commercial side (Gourmet Prep Meals) and a social side (Gourmet Prep), neither of which can exist in our model without the other. Without the social purpose, Gourmet Prep is just another product offering in the burgeoning prepared foods scene. And without the product, we are just another youth training program disconnected from the very real demands of the job marketplace.
The logo design should cross-appeal to a few, distinct target audiences...
1) Foster youth - aging and recently aged-out - 16-24
(please note: our underlying philosophy is the majority of these youth are strong, independent survivors that have what it takes to become successful entrepreneurs).
2) Consumers who will be purchasing and using our recipe kits to make dinners for themselves and their families at home.
We do not currently have a logo, brand or website, so we're very open to creativity.
Please, no Clip Art; only original designs.
The logo design should connote:
- the quality and freshness of our recipe kits
- the entrepreneurial strength and spirit of our youth
An idea we had is to somehow portray the youth as the roots of a blossoming tree (or vegetable garden). The broad message we're trying to impart is that these foster youth are integral to society-at-large, and that their contributions can be far greater than what they are today. (Please note: this is just an idea we had, so please don't feel constrained to use this in your design).
The total design should include the brand name "Gourmet Prep Meals" and the tagline "all the ingredients. ready-to-cook." along with some type of image. We would also like to be able to easily separate all text (brand name and tagline) from the image.
Colors: We haven't selected colors, although the palette should be fresh and clean (since we're dealing with food).
Versions with a White Background, Transparent Background and Inverted Colors:
- Small Size (e.g. 50 pixels high) PNG or JPG file
- Medium Size (e.g. 100 pixels high) PNG or JPG file
- Large Size (e.g. 200-300 pixels high) PNG or JPG file
- A vector format of the file
RGB (or Hex) Values for the main colors used in the final logo.

Research Abstract
Mitochondria are the powerhouses that generate energy by oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) to support cellular activities, and are the integrators of cellular signals that promote different forms of cell death. Mitochondria are also known as the "powerhouses of diseases and aging". Mitochondrial dysfunction is associated with a rapidly growing number of aging-related neuromuscular degenerative diseases and metabolic disorders. How the mitochondrial function deteriorates during aging and how this in turn induces cellular degeneration are not well understood. We use yeast, cultured human cell lines and mouse as model systems to address the following questions.
(1) We are interested in understanding how mitochondrial dysfunction contributes to aging and aging-related neuromuscular diseases.
(2) We are interested in identifying evolutionarily conserved pathways that can potentially delay and possibly, reverse mitochondria-induced cellular degeneration.
(3) We investigate the mechanisms of mitochondrial DNA recombination, replication and repair.

The city of New York announced on Wednesday that it agreed to pay close to $18 million to settle hundreds of federal civil lawsuits brought by people who claimed they were unfairly arrested during the 2004 Republican National Convention.
The New York Civil Liberties Union, which filed the first cases related to the convention arrests, said it is the "largest protest settlement in history."
The deal requires approval from U.S. District Judge Richard Sullivan in Manhattan federal court. It would end nearly a decade of litigation in all but a handful of cases that stemmed from the arrest of more than 1,800 people during demonstrations at the convention where President George W. Bush was nominated to run for a second term in office.
Most of those arrested were protesters, while others said they were bystanders not involved in the rallies. Some also were journalists.

Many were held in a temporary detention facility, where some claimed they were kept for two days in squalid conditions before seeing a judge, far exceeding the 24 hours that New York courts deem reasonable.
In the joint announcement from the city and the plaintiffs, the city defended the actions of police officers as constitutional.
"The settlement is not an admission of liability by the city; rather, it is a recognition by both sides that the agreed-upon settlement is a fair resolution of plaintiffs' remaining claims," the statement said.
The mass arrests led to a class-action lawsuit on behalf of 1,200 people as well as approximately 600 individual lawsuits. The city said it had previously settled 142 of the individual claims for a total of $1.8 million.
If the deal is approved, the plaintiffs would receive about $10.3 million, or an average of $6,400 each. The city would also pay their legal fees, about $7.6 million.
City lawyers said they were "proud of the major victories" they had won during the litigation, including a ruling that holding arrestees until court appearances rather than issuing summonses was justified.
Christopher Dunn, the NYCLU's legal director, said the First Amendment, not the city, was the victor in the case.
"Any lawsuit that results in an $18-million settlement for protesters is a lawsuit that will send a message to every single police department in the country and to the (New York police department) that they cannot do this again," he said.
Dunn on Wednesday joined dozens of plaintiffs and their lawyers on the steps of City Hall, where they called the arrests a coordinated effort to intimidate protesters into silence.
Nazie Shekarchi, a chef from Los Angeles who was visiting New York during the convention, said she had just finished browsing the farmers' market in Union Square when police mistook her for a protester.
"I disappeared for 48 hours," she said. "I'm a law-abiding citizen and could not imagine this could happen in an American city."
In a ruling related to the case, Sullivan last year found that the city had erred in arresting hundreds of people at a 2004 protest without establishing that probable cause existed for each individual arrest.
The city's law department said it had spent approximately $16 million defending the RNC-related cases. About half a dozen cases stemming from the convention have yet to be resolved, including several people who say they were injured.
The police department's policies of mass arrest came under scrutiny again in 2011, when thousands of people were arrested during Occupy Wall Street demonstrations. Those arrests led to several federal lawsuits, including a pending class action filed on behalf of more than 700 people arrested during a march across the Brooklyn Bridge.

If you are on the fence about whether to upgrade your navigation system to RTK, the question is whether you want greater accuracy or faster payback.
"It depends on how much accuracy you want," says Matt Darr, a precision agriculture specialist at Iowa State University. "Are you willing to accept 3 ft. of overlap, or do you want less than that? You can't turn that into a number. It's a personal preference."
Darr says the trend toward higher-accuracy navigation systems continues to grow rapidly. But since many cropping operations can be run by either WAAS-level systems or higher-accuracy subscription-based or RTK systems, comparative payback calculations are imprecise. Paybacks tend to favor the less-expensive system, unless you plan to adopt practices that won't work with less precision.
"RTK can unlock a lot of new potential, but if you can do the same applications with WAAS, the payback for RTK will be slower than with a WAAS system," Darr says.
As you consider your need for a higher-accuracy navigation system, here are five areas to consider:
1. Controlled-traffic farming
In strip tillage and other controlled-traffic cropping systems, an RTK-level navigation system is a must. Precision fertilizer placement, which typically is separated from the strip-till planting operation, is hard to accomplish without sub-inch accuracy.
2. Drainage system design and installation
With an RTK navigation system, improving your operation's drainage can be a do-it-yourself project. A WAAS system just won't cut it.
3. Higher-resolution application system shutoffs
"Clutches in general have eliminated 90% of the overlap, even with WAAS," Darr says. "Single rows, with two-row sections at end, can work with WAAS by setting the headland overlap at 2 ft. You would like to have an overlap more than a skip. But if you get rained out, you could have a 3-ft. drift if you come back and plant the next day. That would be eliminated with RTK."
4. Slower follow-on field applications, such as sidedressing
Fast-moving over-the-top broadcast spraying typically works well with a WAAS-level system, Darr says. But if you plant with an RTK system, RTK guidance for sidedressing would make sense. Row-crop harvest systems often rely on feelers on the header for guidance, so RTK is less helpful for row-crop harvest than might otherwise be the case.
5. Improved flexibility
If you farm large fields, WAAS drift may be a greater annoyance than if your fields are smaller. RTK also reduces drift hassles from field operation delays.
"Accuracy is addictive," Darr says. "Calculating a strict payback can be difficult. But higher-accuracy systems really do add value back to the farm."

If your garage has a hydraulic car elevator, you might be part of the group of high earners who make more than 99 percent of Americans: the One Percent. There is a good chance you might also be a One Percenter if a waterslide connects your master bedroom to your swimming pool.
You get the picture. For the One Percent, amenities like a home theater or a wine cellar hardly make your house stand out. The exceptional features that follow won't be seen in just any mansion. These special features can only be afforded by famous athletes, hip hop artists and other mega wealthy owners.
The cheapest of the following ten mansions goes for $7 million, and the prices go up—way up—from there. Many contain a few unusual amenities, while others are loaded with them. We'll start off with a unique relic from a century-old estate, hidden from the naked eye under a lake.

Crime in Chicago continues to worsen. Six people were shot while standing in front of a church. On July 29, police responded to gunfire in the Garfield Park area and found seven men injured. Doug C. Lyons wrote a piece for south Florida Sun Sentinel,about his cousin, Christina Waters, who was mistakenly shot in the head during a drive-by. ESSENCE.com talked to Phillip Jackson, founder of the Black Star Project, a community outreach group in Chicago. He sees first-hand the impact the violence is having on black families.
Phillip Jackson is a well-known political activist and the founder of Black Star Project.
(ESSENCE) -- ESSENCE.COM: Things seem to be getting worse in Chicago since we last spoke?
PHILLIP JACKSON: Yes, usually the month of July is known as what we call "hell month" or the deadliest month of the year. School is out, the weather is hot, people are unemployed -- it's the culmination of all the things that are wrong and bad happening now.
Now, we're not just reporting shootings, we're reporting multiple shootings at least once a week where six or seven people are shot at one time. There was one day last week when 15 people were shot. The only thing that the city, state and the White House have said is that they want to put more police on the streets. These young people could care less whether there are 1,000 police officers or 100,000 police officers on the streets.
ESSENCE: What would you like to see President Obama or Attorney General Eric Holder do instead?
JACKSON: We would like to see the White House pay attention to the recommendations laid out by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, which says that if you want to prevent violence you have to rebuild families.
As families break down, communities degenerate into chaos. These young boys out here look up to killers, thugs, and gangsters. Until the government becomes involved in the process of ensuring that strong, positive caring men are in their lives, they cannot break the cycle of violence. Watch doctor's success treating violence as a disease »
Plus, you have to reach these kids early. You can't wait until they are 14 years old. That's too late. Teach them conflict-resolutions skills when they're 3 years old. Essence.com: Mother fights for vindication for Ronnie White
Lastly, we at Black Star Project are in the streets talking to these kids. They tell us if we had economic alternatives, we wouldn't have to engage in this violence. The police are still operating with that 1960's way of attacking the gang problem while the gangs are operating today.
ESSENCE: Exactly how do you start rebuilding strong families and communities when people are afraid of their own children and unable or unwilling to be parents? Essence: 'She was striking; she was brilliant'
JACKSON: That's why I'm asking the federal government for help. There are two models for ending violence. There is the L.A. model where they hire more police, give them bigger guns and helicopters and basically turn the communities into a war zones.
Then there is the Boston model where they improved social services and connections to education and jobs. That model reduced violence. This is a choice our country has to make. Right now, we're choosing the L.A. model.
When we decide we want to do something, there is nothing that can stop us as a country. We wanted to go to Iraq and spend a billion dollars a day and we did it. I'm saying the same resolve needs to be put on fixing the problems in black communities across America. I voted for President Obama, but I'm going to continue to challenge him. We need to demand an appropriate response from the White House to the violence in our communities.
ESSENCE: Are you saying it's up to the Obama administration to fix the black family?
JACKSON: The only people who can fix the black family are black men and black women, but the government can provide resources that can encourage us to fix it. We know finances and economics is part of the problem. They can provide major financial incentives for black families to come together. We need to have public policies that will support that kind of behavior.
ESSENCE: Over 500 schoolchildren in Chicago were shot and at least 36 died during the last school year. You mentioned before that kids in Chicago feel hopeless and angry . Has the "Obama effect" and knowing there is now an African-American president had any impact on them at all?
JACKSON: Do you know what seeing your friend shot does to the spirit of a child? You go into any first- and second-grade classroom in Chicago and ask, "Do you know anyone who has been shot?" They will all raise their hand. It's great for us to have a black president, but it was short lived for these kids.
His being president has done nothing for them. There is a psychological and emotional boost but they have gone right back to their reality of having to claw their way through every day. They don't need a moral boost. They need strategies that are going to improve the lives of black families. Essence: She saved her home by baking

Senior Belgian leads ETSU back into national spotlight
MACON, Ga. (March 28, 2012) – For the second time this season, ETSU men's tennis senior Sander Gille (Kuringen, Belgium) was named Atlantic Sun Player of the Week, the league office announced on Wednesday.
Having also been honored the week of Feb. 15, Gille becomes the third Buccaneer in three years to earn the honor multiple times in the same season. In 2010, Grega Teraz was named the week of Feb. 10 and March 10, and in 2011 current Buccaneer Jesus Bandres (Caracas, Venzuela) was honored the week of March 2 and March 30. The Kuringen, Belgium native also captured ETSU's fourth such honor of the season with Jeremy Bonnevalle (Keerbergen, Belgium) having been selected last week (March 21) and Robin Akser (Ornskoldsvik, Sweden) the week of Feb. 29.
Gille went a combined 4-0 this past weekend with a 2-0 singles record and a 2-0 doubles record against then-No. 71 Stetson and Florida Gulf Coast. In doing so, Gille improved his overall singles record to 14-8, 8-5 dual, helped push the Bucs' winning streak to six in a row and helped ETSU regain a national ranking of No. 72.
On Friday against Stetson, Gille teamed with Akser in doubles play for the sixth-consecutive match and took down Njal Stene and Hans Adrian Riseng 8-3. In singles action, Gille met with Stene at the No. 2 and won in dominating fashion, 6-1, 6-3, as the Bucs rolled by the Hatters 5-0.
On Saturday against Florida Gulf Coast, Gille continued to impress. Switching doubles partners, Gille teamed with sophomore Roger Ordeig (Gurb, Spain) at the No. 1 to defeat Matthew Rock and Lance Lvovsky 8-4. In singles, Gille put together another dominating performance with a 6-2, 6-2 defeat of Jackson Moore at the No. 2 as the Bucs improved to 4-0 in A-Sun play with a 7-0 sweep of the Eagles.

Entropy is an anti-aging, anti-oxidant drink that turns fat into mental focus.
Check us out http://entropydrink.com
Other relevant information:
* How Entropy works: http://entropydrink.com/how-it-works/75
* Ingredients: http://entropydrink.com/ingredients
While we're an energy drink, we like to think of ourselves as a premium brand for people who care about their health and are tired of make-believe energy drinks that have tons of sugars and preservatives. and a smathering of vitamins. We cater to young and old, but we're NOT a teenager, party animal brand nor an alcohol+energy drink type. Older folks should care about drinking Entropy.
We need a banner ad that entices the audience to buy the Entropy drink online. The add will be displayed on this retailer's website: http://www.thirstmonger.com (note a competing product currently showing; Entropy will be next).
Make the Entropy ad stand out and convert. Consider adding a Buy button too.
You can focus on the fat-burning piece or the anti-aging piece or the mental focus. Entropy does all three, but the ad probably should call out just one or maybe two of these qualities.
Check out our ingredients. No preservatives, no artificial colors or flavors. Just 5 calories. Capitalize on it.
If you want, use anything from the website, logos, cans, background images, or even the figure that shows how it works (though, probably not the entire figure). I'm attaching some images to help you get started.
Feel free to use the motto: Stay Smart. Stay Healthy. Drink What Matters.
Rules: No hard-and-fast rules. Give me a design what converts. Blow my socks off. Boring designs don't count. If you have more than 10 words, it's probably too many.
Format: 680 wide X 250 high - pixel size
File format: AI and PSD and JPG (all three).
No copyright art work should be used.
Need it soon. 3 days.

What say's February better than mini-cupcake cake-pops? I've been chomping at the bits to do this little project. There is a drought of birthdays from January-May in my immediate family circle, so-I made up a reason to bake these-Valentine's Day seems appropriate, and since I like to be early....January 31st seemed like as good a day as any. They really weren't hard to make, but I also didn't quite master the shape. There is a cookie cutter involved in making the bottom look more 'ruffle-eee'....the lack of accurate shape has more to do with my impatience than it being more difficult than it seems. OK, rewind a bit-I was given the yummiest bag of hard shelled, soft centered 'cake balls' for Christmas. They were SOOOOO good. I picked them apart, and asked the gal who gave them to me how she made them, and she said she just baked a cake mix as the directions said, as soon as she got it out of the oven she broke it apart in the pan, and mixed in a can of store bought icing (chocolate with chocolate icing, red velvet with cream cheese icing etc). Then she rolled them into ball shapes, put them on a wax papered tray in the freezer to harden, then rolled them in melted chocolate, and sprinkled them for decorations. They were sooooo fantastic. I knew I was going to make them someday...soon! Fast forward to a night of blog surfing and I came across this site http://bakerella.blogspot.com/2008/04/make-your-cupcakes-pop.html She uses the exact same recipe, but she makes all sorts of incredible little shapes (I love this site so much, I'd say almost as much as my 'old Cupcake Hangouts'!). If you go to her site, you'll see what the cake-middle looks like, and the step by step to making these little yummy goodies. Mine made about 30+ a few that didn't make it to the packaging process (let's call it-quality control). I can't wait to make them again, and dedicate myself to fine tuning the shape and decorations! Two thumbs up!

Snow Day
Yay for a snow day! I stayed up until 2 am last night and listened to the ice hit the roof, slept until 11 today, read until 3:30, stayed in my PJs until 4, ate frito chili pie for lunch, and watched Judge shows on TV. It was a nice little gift I enjoyed to the fullest!

How Can I Keep From Singing Your Praise?
I love this song, it was such a good way to start off my Sunday morning (and my week), hopefully I can carry this message in my heart throughout the week....and beyond.

Something I Didn't Enjoy....
Cross Stitch is just not for the me I currently am. Maybe someday I'll fall in love with this craft (I anticipate I probably won't, given how difficult it was to see the stitching at this age). I tried a counted-cross stitch, and it was just not fun. I had to count, and recount. Then I would discover, despite all my careful efforts, that I counted wrong. The colors were hard to sort, especially the blues and purples. What's more, this was a tiny project, and yet....it took me forever. I'm usually one that likes to start and finish a project within a very short time frame, but this dragged on...and on...I finally made myself sit down and finish it, while listening to 19 1/2 hours of Jane Eyre for my upcoming bookclub meeting (listening has been less painful than reading that book). As all good (and in this case, bad) projects go, I think this'll be a Mother's Day gift. Mom never critiques the missed stitches, or lazy finishes (I finally starting making huge leaps with my needle on the outline, instead of the tiny backstitching the pattern suggested. I call this 'personalizing a project). I'm a little disappointed because in my head, I was going to love this, but I can also appreciate the discovery because I do NOT need another project. Now I know.

The To Do
Finally! I finished an 8x8 scrapbook I took the pictures for last spring, bought the stickers for this summer, and began the album for last fall (I'm pretty sure this is a grammatically inaccurate sentence, but it's my blog, my grammar rules). It is a short album from my quick Disney trip, but it took me forever to get it together, and so goes the line of scrapbooks in waiting. My other interest have taken my time. Sunday I went over to my pal Amber's house and we scrapbooked, and talked, it was a nice evening, and it made the scrapping so much more fun. I can also check the album off 'the list.' My pictured page (from the 'future' area of Epcot) has absolutely no Disney Stickers, but just know, the rest of it is a flood of Mickey stickers. My pal Kelly came along for the journey to Disney (a quick side trip on the way to Maurine and Derek's wedding), but she abandoned me in the scrapbook making process (yes, I'm documenting her scrapbooking abandonment HERE). I hope to pull out my 2008 album soon as the 'next' scrapbook project, which will then lead to my album from last summer's trip, I can't WAIT to work on that album, which is why I am making myself wait...or it'll be 2012 when I'm trying to rebuild my memories from 2008 to piece together the album! The next big project on the agenda is a quilt. I'm headed to a retreat in a few weeks, so I need to pull out my fabric, and get out the iron and cutter so I'm a little ahead of the game, so I can keep up with the other players at the retreat. I also am starting another wedding flower order. I have not decided what I plan to do regarding flowers when it comes to flowers for people beyond my friends, but for now I'm taking the jobs as they come along, and they fit into my schedule, nothing serious. I'm not looking for a second job as much as something I can enjoy away from my first job, life is too short to be too busy due to monetary draws and obligations!

Raiding the Pantry
My Mom and I went to Historic Downtown McKinney this weekend. They have the cutest mix of antiques, and eclectic stores, tea rooms, and a really great little restaurant called The Pantry.
The Pantry has delicious homecooked meals, and equally as yummy desserts. I wish I could describe their desserts in detail, but this visit I didn't partake. I've been thinking about THAT for the last 24 hours. It was my last 'free' Saturday for awhile. I have a few events over the next few months I'm looking forward to taking up my Saturday mornings, but I also have a line of Saturday Schools that extend through the end of April, so it was nice to 'choose' Saturday's events. It was well chosen.

Molten Chocolate Yummy-Ness!
Someone told me about Betty Crocker's new Warm Delights. I tried out the Molten Chocolate version this weekend. They are sold in two packs (single servings), and end up being a little over a dollar a piece, but it was worth every penny. They only have 150 calories (though they taste like they have about 300 calories), and it only took 40 seconds to heat in the microwave. This is my kind of 'baking'. They also suggested I try it with whipped cream, but I was too hungry to go the extra mile, and wasn't disappointed with 'just' the cake. It was so yummy, I had to share, and now I'll have to try out the other 'flavors,' I'll just call it investigative reporting research.

Diaper Cake
Jodi gave me all the details on "How to....Make a Diaper Cake" after she made one of her own for a shower she was hosting (It was soooo cute!). I filed this information away, knowing I would need it someday. Yesterday was 'the day.' My boss, who I also call a friend, is hosting a diaper shower for a second time Mom, and we were discussing ideas. I told her she had to have one, which turned into I'd make one. I may be the only person who has never seen the inner workings of a cake, but if you don't know-you fill the center with goodies too like wet wipes, roll the diapers and tie them, then create the 'diaper shape.' You can add all sorts of fun 'stuff' I have q-tips, and other little baby goodies like mini powders, shampoos, lotions, bottles, utensils etc on the backside of the cake too (you can't see in the picture), but you get the idea. I also saw some really cute ones with little stuffed goodies as toppers, but I wanted to keep cost down since I was spending someone else's money.

A (Work) Week End Review
Monday: A mini-ice storm hit, but the grounds were too warm for it to stick, so I came back to work, which is a good thing. I now have another week under my belt. BUT, I got to enjoy how beautiful the trees look when they are covered with ice. I think that is my favorite thing about an ice storm!
Tuesday: Eeeck, my computer crashed, again. I really need to get over the idea that I, and all the things associated with me are invincible. I spent a month trying to restore things from the last computer crash, and I began new projects etc, but did I save them? No, not this time either. The crash isn't my fault, but the loss is because I should have known. What I learned is that it's not the end of the world, just a little annoying. I need that reminder. Oh...and I need to save my files more than once a year.
Wednesday: I finally got a hold of my dermatologist for some 'test' results. I had an unassuming mole I probably would have ignored b/c it has never seemed very threatening. It's flat to the surface, and I never really watched it until I was looking at a surgery scar one day (on my stomach, next to this mole). I saw this mole had turned really dark (I'm not very good at checking). I remembered a few stories lately about people who had problems with moles, and I decided to go see my dermatologist last week. I almost canceled a day before my appointment b/c I thought I was being silly. She took it off right away, and the results came back a week later (Wednesday). I'm glad I went, it was 'something' with a long, very boring name. It's not melanoma, but it's not benign either. So now, when it heals, I continue to watch, and head back in a month. I'm not worried, I'm just so grateful that I noticed (due to that itchy scar, and people sharing their stories).
Thursday: I attended lot's of meetings today, but I did squeeze in a little sewing-no felt.
Friday: I'm headed to Starbucks with Mary and Sonia after work-I can't wait to get their wisdom and feedback on life, and the events listed, but mostly not listed in my blog from the past few weeks...and to laugh about the things that don't need to be analyzed, just re-lived one more time through our words for the sake of laughter, and mental health!

Summer 2009
This is my anticipated route for my summer vacation. There are still a lot of things up in the air. I'm going with a tour company, and they have to fill all the spots to go, and with the economy who knows... I'm leaving my ultimate summer vacatiom plans in God's hands. But at this time, this is the vacation route I have begun the planning process with, I'm excited! It will be my first time in Europe.

Felt Food: Pizza
I'm moving on to a new project now. I'm full of felt food! (For the time being.) All the toppings are removable so you can build your own (borrowed blog idea). Most of the 'toppings' have velcro on the back. I sewed a little napkin today after going to Hobby Lobby for fabric for the 800th time this week. The End.

#2 Winter at Beavers Bend, OK
My focus this time was on landscapes. I took a million pictures (which equals more than 250), and I'm trying to play around with my different settings. I never capture the onesI think will be 'good' ones, I want to know how to transfer those to my camera. I should read the book, books are written for a purpose...I do not do this nearly enough when I acquire new 'tools.' I can't wait to go back in the spring....or/and fall and see the colors then.

Beavers Bend, Oklahoma
This weekend I headed up to Southeast Oklahoma with the family. I'm on the lookout for a new park now that Lake Murray is being renovated. Beavers Bend definitey has a lot of fun personality. It's not the 'same,' but it's really neat in all it's own individual ways. The drive up was really peaceful. We headed down little country highways with few trucks. We passed a lot of places that 'used to be'...something, but are now vacated. It always makes me a little sad to see the small towns that once were....and to wonder about their stories. Beavers Bend Resort is located near the city of Broken Bow, Oklahoma. It is, again, what I would consider to be a relatively small town (this from a born and breed city girl), but it's definitely the largest you find for quite some time. It has a Walmart, so that says something about it's size. On Friday we spent most of our time exploring Beavers Bend. Everything is quite spread out, but it looks like there is a lot to do in the spring and summer months. There is a river they stock with Trout every other week with lots of fly fishermen trying out their flies.
The river feeds into a really large lake with different watersports, and hiking offered up among the hills and mountains. It is part of a National Forest as well. I got to see a lot of deer, a variety of birds, and my good old friend, the raccoon....oh, and don't let me forget the rainbow trout, I saw tons of those leaping along the river driving the fishermen crazy, and quite a few dangling from hooks as well. Saturday, Mom and I went into town and explored the city of Broken Bow, more specific the historic main street.
So much was closed for the season, or at least for the weekend, and things that were opened had very limited hours. I did find the cutest Quilt Shop with a really fabulous owner (and "just" the fabric I was looking for), and we ate lunch at this little tea room called "The Pie Lady." Lunch was fine, but the pie was the best slice of pie I've ever had (chocolate), I don't eat a lot of pie, but still.... I'd highly recommend a stop there to grab a pie. We had dinner at a place called The Hill Steakhouse. Again, it was great food, and I forget what it's like not to be 'rushed' through a meal, it's an adjustment, but a nice reminder about the pace of life. The rest of the weekend was spent exploring Beavers Bend, our cabin was great with a great fireplace, all sorts of goodies for cooking (which we did the rest of the weekend), and heat/ac. I took a ton of pictures I'm going to go through and post later, and Jason did a lot of fishing. I definitely plan to head back in the future. I can't wait to see Beavers Bend in the spring/summer!

Felt Food: Sugar Cookies
I have one more 'felt food' project after this, and then I have to let it go for awhile and move on to a new crafting area in my life. I saw this at Etsy too, but they even had a cute little apron with theirs. I just used quilt scraps to make oven mitts, and that was good enough for me.

Happy New Year, 2009!
The year ended much as it began, with many stories told (and untold) to reflect upon from 2008. I now am anticipating many fun events to look forward to in 2009!
An evening spent with family:
Games, or rather a really long game of dominoes:
A 'Baptist Toast' of Sparkling White Grapejuice ;O):

It might be called the battle of the Buddha's feet, a struggle to rescue one of the great Buddhist sites in Afghanistan.
The deadline has just been cut to a year for a team of Afghan and foreign archaeologists to rescue what they can from the sites of four shrines and temples round Mes Aynak - the Copper Mountain - in the plains of Logar, 25 miles south of Kabul.
The Chinese have signed a 20-year lease to make this the biggest open-cast copper mine in the world outside Africa. They plan to blow up the mountain and what is left of the Buddhist temples, hoping to dig as much as they can of the copper estimated to be worth £45 billion.
Initially, they're offering £800 million a year for the concession.
It is a race between Afghanistan's cultural past and commercial future. A team of 32 archaeologists is moving everything it can from the site, rediscovered in the Sixties, rebuilding one of the temples and putting the treasures in a custom-built museum.
They are helped by 900 local Afghan workers. Initially they were given three years, but under pressure from the Chinese, President Karzai has said the conservation must end for the blasting and mining to begin late next year.
"The site is very important because this was a main junction on the Silk Road. The monks came here and settled between the 5th century and the 8th century, lured by the copper," said Philippe Maquis, the leading French archaeologist at the site. He points to large pieces of handsome Buddhas, complete with swirling drapery - said to be inherited from the Greeks who came here with Alexander the Great.
A battered statue three times life-size shows the Buddha in "Pari Nirvana" - the stage before nirvana, the highest state of consciousness.
Next to the figure are two huge stone feet, more than four times life size. "These pieces are the same style and from the same time as the great Buddha statues of Bamiyan," said Mr Maquis.
The Buddhas of Bamiyan were blown up by the Taliban in March 2001. Mes Aynak has not suffered such outright vandalism, although Osama bin Laden moved his main training camp here in 1999. "I think we can really do it," said Dr Omar Sultan, 61, deputy culture minister, a renowned archaeologist. "If we get the funds and the team of 40 archaeologists, I get the job of essential conservation done by the deadline."
Looking across the monastery and the camp for Chinese workers, it is a scene of utter tranquillity. But in two years the mountain which has lured mystics, pilgrims, and entrepreneurs - often all three in one - for more than 5,000 years will be blasted to oblivion.
It is the starting point of yet another invasion of Afghanistan, this time by the Chinese in their relentless charge for the world's mineral riches.

I guess I'm a little slow – which Victor Valley fans would agree with after I incorrectly picked against the Jackrabbits in the Bell Game – but I seem to be stuck in a rut of mediocre prognosticating.
Chino Hills at Redlands East Valley
The first step of REV's Bataan Death March-like four-game stretch went well, as the Wildcats subdued Orange Lutheran. It gets a bit harder this week, as the Wildcats play a Chino Hills team that's responded nicely after an upset loss to Corona Santiago. However, I'm not sure the Huskies are quite ready to come to Redlands and leave with a victory. The Wildcat defense will prevail here.
Redlands East Valley 19, Chino Hills 7
Arroyo Valley at Rialto
San Andreas League play gets going this week with several intriguing matchups, but when the season started, I don't think anyone would have identified this one as the most intriguing. But thanks to Arroyo Valley's QB issues and Rialto's surprising 3-0 start, it has been. Michael Yearwood is questionable due to injury and the Knights have some mojo going. Rialto continues its surge.
Rialto 16, Arroyo Valley 10
Rancho Cucamonga at Redlands
The Terriers have proven themselves to be outstanding scrappers, outlasting Los Osos in triple OT and defeating Carlsbad La Costa Canyon without starting QB Jojo Hernandez. Rancho has been on a pretty big roll and seems to thrive on playing away from home (or Los Osos if you want to get technical) and should have enough to put away the Terriers.
Rancho Cucamonga 24, Redlands 16
Kaiser at Palm Desert
The cliche' "the irresistible force against the immovable object" may be annoying, but it is completely appropriate here. The Kaiser defense has been completely dominant, allowing a garbage-time TD to Barstow in its opener and that's it. Meanwhile, Palm Desert's defense has put 113 points up the last two weeks. In these cases, I almost always go defense, so that's what I'll do here.
Kaiser 28, Palm Desert 18
Carter at Colton
One team is undefeated going into this game and surprisingly, it isn't Colton. Carter has been stout on the defensive end, giving up only 28 points in its first three games. But then again, Bloomington was cruising last week before getting backhanded 42-6 by the Yellowjackets. I expect the Lions to go through the same thing, though not nearly as savagely. Colton is awake and aware.
Colton 36, Carter 13
Silverado at Summit
The bye week couldn't have come at a more opportune time for the SkyHawks, who got an extra week to rest up Devon Blackmon's ankle and separate RB Montigo Alford further from a Week 0 concussion. I expect both players to play and be effective against Silverado, which will fight valiantly but doesn't quite have the big guns to pull the upset.
Summit 27, Silverado 17
Chaffey at Chino
This game looked like a dud before the season, but Chino's resurgence has made it pretty interesting. This will be the Cowboys' first Mt. Baldy League game since moving over and they'll try to exploit a struggling Chaffey squad with explosive senior Promise Amadi. I promise that it will be successful, as Chino moves to 4-0.
Chino 28, Chaffey 20
Big Bear at Rim of the World
This should be a fun one. For years I've wondered why this matchup didn't happen, so now that it's here, I expect it to be pretty fun. The Bears have been gashing people with their triple-option offense behind a stout offensive line, while Rim of the World has scuffled due to an injury bug that has taken out RB Dillon Pretzinger. However, I'm going with the home team to show a little something in this one.
Rim of the World 24, Big Bear 22
Miller at Oak Hills
Miller's nonleague gauntlet comes to a merciful end, as they play an Oak Hills team that, while good, isn't in the league of an Upland or a Carson at this point. The Bulldogs will be hungry in this game though, as they failed their first test of the season against a big school from down the hill, falling to Rialto. This should be a good one, but I think Miller is due to pull one of these close ones out.
Miller 27, Oak Hills 21
Riverside Notre Dame at Aquinas
The Holy War is always one of the more spirited rivalries in the area, as the IE's top two parochial schools face off. The Falcons have been impressive, especially defensively, since losing their season opener to Desert Hot Springs. I expect this to be a physical, ground-oriented, low-scoring game and am going with the home team.
Aquinas 19, Notre Dame 16
