The two have been serving suspensions this season, and Head Coach Mark Richt has yet to set a time frame for their return.
When the suspensions are up, the Bulldogs will have a deeper defense for the remainder of the season, which could make them an even dangerous team.

You may have heard that the graduation number was closer to 84 percent. It is, if you count students that graduate eventually.
But if you count the number of students that graduate within four years, the rate is much lower. This new 'formula' is how all school systems will begin reporting their stats going forward. It takes Georgia's overall graduation rate for 2011 down to 67.4 percent (from 80.9 percent in 2010), but should put school systems on a level field when it comes to measuring their success.
What surprises me is that this number has not received more attention. Maybe the reason is that the only thing that has changed is the calculation, not the number of students that graduate, but I believe that most people who have heard the 80 - 84 percent graduation rates assumed that it was for students who graduated in the normal four years.
What do you think? The school has known about this for a while, but you will still hear Gwinnett County School officials quoting the old rates.
Here are links to read the new graduation rates published in official publications. The first one is a pdf from the Spring 2012 Gwinnett Public School newsletter. The article, "State adjusts to new way of calculating graduation rates," appears on the third page:
Communiqué Essentials, Spring 2012
The second one is from the Governor's Office of Student Achievement. It is a graph, and is a little harder to read, but it breaks the numbers down by race and other factors:

Not surprised. Gwinnett does not encourage or nurture success, it churns out losers. This county wants some children to fail. GCPS's Superintendent has been in that position longer than the average 11th grader has been alive. That's ridiculous. Wake up GC! Get rid of him!

I was at the Gwinnett Chamber's monthly membership meeting on Thursday and GCPS Superintendent Wilbanks told the crowd that Gwinnett County has an 84% graduation rate. That's odd when GCPS's own newsletter reveals that it is 67%.

Sabrina, with this economy, who wouldn't lie to save their job? I (barely) graduated over twenty years ago. As a student then, it was obvious that producing numbers on paper was far more important than producing scholars. I was told as much by a high school counselor. Most parents seem too busy to get involved in the outcome or apparently satisfied with the numbers.

Things will continue as they are until we Gwinnetians elect a new superintendent and a new board. All Wilbanks cares about is test scores and receiving accolades. Students and teachers he can do without.

This is very sad. Yes. I agree parents are not involving themselves in their children's school education. The crime rate is very high and I believe this is due to poor learning on the child's part. Teachers have a hard time teaching students who have an attitude of not wanting to learn. Teens feel unaccepted, frustrated, start running with a crowd seeking attention the wrong way - CRIME. Surely there is some way to retain students in the school system until they can pass certain criteria - social behavior, know English and speak English, obtain decent math skills, pass psychological skills, etc. Our prisons are over populated with teens/adults who have very little, or none, knowledge/skills to survive in this world who can be rehabilitated if there was a system in place to help this people. Anybody got any ideas how this could be accomplished? Yes, I know, it would cost the taxpayer in the long run, but have you seen the stats of what it cost daily to feed these people? Lets find ways to aboutface these non productive people.

There are more involved parents than you think. We have to work and have careers too. There are limits to what parents can do with frustrated teachers, counselors, case managers, and their child (dren). As involved and supportive parents, we need the school leaders, administrators, and professionals to inform us positively, truthfully,
skillfully, and promptly. Yes, it's necessary for parents to attend school evening meetings, curriculum night, graduation plans/counselors,and parent teacher conferences, etc. But don't waste our time with the same non working approaches, old processes/procedures, and rules.
9:39 am on Sunday, September 23, 2012
Our daughter graduated in four years because we paid thousands of dollars for online classes -- all math. The math curriculum (chosen by the State BOE) is insane and, I believe, primarily responsible for the number of dropouts -- a statewide problem. I do not believe most of GC teachers are able to effectively teach math; however, when there are more than 30 students in the class, it is difficult to effectively teach anything. Add to that the large number of daily drug users (and teachers who ignore in-class drug sales), and you have a bunch of do-nothing losers. The campus police presence appears to be there only for fights that routinely break out. I could go on and on, but my personal feeling is that math is the greatest obstacle for kids who do NOT need calculcus, advanced algebra, and trig in their lives. They would be much better off with practical math basics (that would still allow them to go to college) and being able to pass the course -- and graduate on time. The school is setting them up to be failures. But, the school system is making obscene amounts of money charging $250-300 per online course, so I'm afraid I must believe it is in the State's (and Gwinnett County's) best interest to rack in $6,000 or more PER ONLINE COURSE from all the kids who fail classes -- by those who are able to pay for it.
9:49 am on Sunday, September 23, 2012
Please be careful not to assuming the other 30+% are high school drop outs. The new formula follows students as they enter 9th grade together and expects them to exit 12th grade together in exactly 4 years. With our modern, transient society, fewer students start one high school and graduate from it 4 years later. Many students now also have a combination of online courses, homeschool credit, summer school credit, and transfer credits from other school systems so that not every student spends exactly two semesters in each grade. It's not about the number of classes passed with these combinations; it's about receiving the credits in particular areas to be promoted each year. Because of the number of required courses and the absence of a general education diploma in Georgia, gone are the days when students have 2-3 elective classes that are non-academic. This means that a high school freshman struggling academically, who may or may not have parental support, can easily get behind on graduation credits and no longer be considered part of his or her "cohort" but may still graduate successfully in 4.5-5 years with summer school or online credits. This student is now used to drop the school's graduation rating. Nobody in the press spends time talking about the many intervention plans in our local schools that help these students succeed. GCPS has some high academic standards. I'd rather them be challenged and take longer to graduate then to be passed by teachers for good stats.

We saw our only option as to leave the public school sector behind and spend thousands upon thousands of dollars to go private, even as invested and involved with our children's lives at school and home that we were/are. We found ourselves fighting a "system" just to try raising our kids with your basic decency. Schools and society(especially here in Snellville) go hand in hand in failing us, we have felt. Just cannot wait until we can move on..if we are unable to get our house values to any acceptable loss( cannot believe I have to even face that reality) we will rent it out and go! we have been here since 96 and its only getting worse..year after year after year. Yes, change is the answer via voting, etc..but it doesn't seem to look too promising in the near future. People seem H*** bent on keeping the same broken people, and system, in place :/

Gwinnett is becoming victim of the transient student and lower income population. There is no reversal.
marlene buchanan
11:13 am on Sunday, September 23, 2012
One important point needs to be hightlighted from above. Part of the numbers are based on the students who enter in 9th and exit in 12th within the same system. GCPS does have a high transition population.
Another point is that withthe economy deflated, the classrooms are bursting. A teacher can not have a strong, supportinve relationship with the numbers of students s/he has each day. Classes at 24 are better taught and students are better learners than classes of 34+.
Too long. See next comment.

GA and GCPS has had some good programs in place that could have made a significant difference in the quality of education and the graduation rate. The Graduatin Coaches were an excellent idea. Central Gwinnett had someone who handled only those students who were "at risK" and the special needs students. That counselor met with those kids,talked to the parents and helped them toplan a graduation path. Sometimes it was necessary for some to take reading programs , test for learning issues as needed and helped to plan a reasonable course to graduation, often it was learning how to study and rearrange the desires below the have tos in life. There was a strong involvement with parents, counselor, teachers and especially the student. The student was the number one concern and the desire was help him or her find a focus for success and help that child achieve those goals. Sometimes it was slow. Sometimes it was as simple as as realizing, "This kids reads at thirds grade level! Get her into a reading support class."
marlene buchanan
11:31 am on Sunday, September 23, 2012
Well, GCPS and many of the GA school systems no longer offer reading support classes. I encourage parents of all age children to look at the test results--really look. If your child is reading two or more grade levels behind, do something about it. Improved reading supports improved math and all other subject areas.
At the end of World War II, everyone's dream was their child to attend college. College is not the answer for most people. College frequently is theory oriented. We need practical techincal education. The term "vo-tech" seems to mean to so many, low pay, low intellect, but the opposite is true. It takes skills to do the "vocational technical" jobs that are prevalent today. Look at the jobs that are out there, find something that interests you, and get the training. You can always get more training. I had a friend who went to a technical school and got her cosmetology license and then went to college. She was a business major. She paid for her college education, her clothes, her car and all of her expenses. She did the girls and guys hair in the dorms. She is now a CPA and wons several beauty salons as well as her CPA office with a couple of accountants. Things about what you want and set you goals.
marlene buchanan
11:33 am on Sunday, September 23, 2012
Think about what you want, set your goals and get training needed. Unfortuantely, there are not many kids who know their direction in high school. They are floundering, but the counselors average over 500 students. They can't always find you, you have to seek us out so we might be able to help. Take advantage of the career information centers, talk to adults and learn to read.
REduce the hours of video games and do your homework. Come prepared. Is that job necessary or is it to support a car & insurance. Get to bed at a reasonable time. Teens need more sleep than any other age group with the exceptionof infants and the very elderly. This is the group that is burning the midnight oil for a car or for fun.
By the way, turn closed caption on your TVs. it helps all people improve reading comprehension, reading speed and vocabulary. It is especially helpful if you are trying to learn English as a second language. Are you trying to learn Spanish? Watch those chanels with the closed captions. It makes a BIG difference.
And Yes, when it gets to paper and comparing schools/systems, it is all numbers.
But you get out of life what you put into it and you get the education that you strive for when you prepare for it, too. In all the schools I have worked in, we welcomed, even encouraged at times, having the parents attend classes with the kids. See what is going on and remember, your kid isn't going to act like he normally does when you are there.

I would like to see the data with the new formula for all the years dating back to the inception of the Gateway program because i feel this will show our true progress or a true mission to improve .I would also want to see a per high school breakdown from that same time period to measure individual schools and shift resources accordingly .Also if a child starts in the 9th grade at a school and moves to another district does this count as a non graduate statistic , if it does this is pure political maneuvering on the part of the state trying to sway the charter vote by making public schools to appear worse in the minds of voters .

You're going to make them explain that chamber support and the math used to determine the claimed results obtained aren't you?
1:22 pm on Sunday, September 23, 2012
I agree with M.K. Osborne that we need more information before this number is used to judge a school. I am not sure what happens with students who properly transfer schools. I do know that the high schools struggle to track students who often move outside of GCPS without requesting the proper documentation for their next school. In order to prove accurate enrollment counts, our schools spend countless hours documenting where absentee students are. Without proof otherwise, those students are considered drop outs and count against the school. Locally, we can't change the national or state required curriculum. GCPS already requires higher standards, which is a perk of living here compared to some underfunded rural areas. Perhaps instead of attacking the local system for the fact that too many students are failing classes along the way, we need to rally and decide how the community can help. Teachers, if it isn't working, try something different within the bounds of the required curriculum. Parents, encourage good attendance, adequate sleep, and good study habits. Become involved in your local schools as a community resource. Students, value the education you are being provided. Don't assume someone is going to hand you a great, profitable future without hard work. Each family has to do what's best for their children, as many posts above highlight. Some of the stories above emphasize that every child is different and learns at a different rate. Don't penalize schools for this!
M.K. Osborne
2:10 pm on Sunday, September 23, 2012
Once we get the proper data as mentioned above i feel we can move on to provide a solution on a per school basis , no one size fits all . Now when i say WE i mean each community cluster of concerned citizens with solutions not just complaints !

Denis Alexander on Understanding Creation Theology
In this video Conversation, Denis Alexander asserts that contemporary Christians are not taking the early chapters of Genesis seriously enough.
The Source of Human Value
In this video, physicist Ard Louis describes that our value and purpose do not come from whether or not we were created by an evolutionary mechanism. Evolution may tell us something about how we were created, but it is not the source of our worth.
Art, Worship, Creation, and Imaginative Engagement
We should not be ashamed of the fact that our faith integrates spirit and body; our faith calls us to regard the stuff of creation in all of its materiality as good, and thus offers the best starting point for the practice and pleasure of art.
A Young Earth Creationist's Perspective
In this video, Aaron Daly offers his thoughts on theistic evolution, creation, and how Christians should handle disagreements over these issues. Most of all, Aaron highlights the need for love in our discussions with one another, especially when we disagree.
Series: From the Dust
In this series, Ryan Pettey offers several clips from his powerful documentary "From the Dust". This feature-length film is divided up into various sections, each of which wrestles with the difficult problems that arise when reconciling Scripture with the theory of evolution. A light of hope dawns on the science-faith conversation, however, as scientists and theologians engage in honest dialogue about tough issues such as the interpretation of Genesis, the nature of the Fall, and the idea of random design. Their profound insights are sure to enlighten all minds, raise deeper questions, and provoke new thought.
Adventist Origins of Young Earth Creationism
Many evangelicals believe that Young Earth Creationism is the only authentic, biblical way for Christians to understand origins, and that until the advent of Darwin's theory of evolution, it was the only view held by Christians. However, in this excerpt from Saving Darwin, Karl Giberson explains that Young Earth Creationism's origins are surprisingly recent.
On the Creation Account
To understand and apply Genesis 1 correctly, we have to consider issues of genre and intention. Too often these chapters are read as if they present a purely straightforward historical and even scientific account of cosmic and human origins.
The Danger of Preaching on Genesis
In this video Conversation, Joel Hunter acknowledges the risk that pastors take when preaching on Genesis—and in particular, when they approach it with an attitude of humility, allowing the possibility that the text was not meant to be understood in literal terms.
My Faith Shouldn't Be Alive (But It Is, and Here's Why)
By all accounts, my faith should have perished the moment I started asking questions about faith and science. All my life I'd been taught that I had to choose—between believing the Bible and believing my science book, between honoring God and embracing evolution.
Using Film to Catalyze Conversations on Faith and Science
What are the best ways to spark productive conversations about science and faith? Certainly there are books, articles, blogs (like this one), and podcasts. But there are particular advantages to using film.

Evangelicals, Creation, and Scripture: An Overview
Mark Noll, historian and author of The Scandal of the Evangelical Mind, enumerates 15 attitudes, assumptions, and convictions he considers to be most influential in inciting anti-intellectual sentiment among evangelical Christians.
How Does the BioLogos Model Need to Address Concerns About Science?
Many barriers to the acceptance of the BioLogos model by evangelical Christians arise from popular misconceptions about the nature of science and its relationship to God's action in our world.
Science and the Question of God

The Cavaliers have been lacking that "element" for quite some time. Current starter Ramon Sessions continues to rack up statistics. But some question whether he's just putting up empty numbers on a bad team or whether he's capable of running the point on a winning basketball team.
When he's healthy and his head is on straight, Davis brings the total package. That's why Cavs coach Byron Scott is anxious to turn the reins of the offense over to him.
"He brings a different element to the game," Scott said. "The guys know that. We're almost going back to square one. They have to get reacquainted with each other."
If he wakes up today and there's not soreness in his back or left knee, the 6-foot-3, 212-pounder is expected to move into the starting lineup against the Detroit Pistons at 7:30 tonight at Quicken Loans Arena.
Davis, 31, has appeared in four games with the Cavs. If he does start, it would be his first since coming to the team on Feb. 24.
He brings a leadership quality that has been vacant on the team. He can score in a number of ways, even though he's not the raw athlete he once was.
He said he takes as much enjoyment out of a nifty assist as he does scoring a basket. He said he brings fun, unselfish play, energy and passion to the court.
"I can bring a consistent effort," he said. "Our team can use that. Our team can use some leadership, as well as more drive." Continued...
Davis, whose back flared up in the Portland game on March 17, has worked hard to get back in the lineup. Scott listed him as probable for tonight's game.
"He did everything today," Scott said. "He looked rusty, obviously. He ran the team (in practice). He had a pretty good day today."
Scott said if it was completely up to him, he'd move Davis into the starting lineup right now. But he wants to make sure he's completely healthy first.
"A lot depends on how he feels," he said.
Scott said when Davis returned after a week of bereavement for his grandmother's funeral, he wanted him to start the last 10 to 12 games.
"If he feels good enough (tonight), great," Scott said. "It's not a big rush. Then, we'll wait until Sunday."
Scott is excited to unleash Davis' game on the team.
"(I like his) leadership and his big-play capability," he said. "When he's healthy, he's still one of the best."
Because of Davis' back spasms and sore knee, he said his explosiveness is not where he'd like it to be.
He's hoping that returns at some point this season. Continued...
"I don't have the power and explosiveness that I need," he said. "I'm lacking that start. Being able to get by my defender and finishing strong, that's something I have to work on.
"I want to play at a high level and a consistent level. As far as minutes, I don't know."
He seems to have welcomed the role of mentor with the young club.
"I'm really embracing that here," Davis said.
"Coach is giving me the opportunity to do that. He's challenging me to be more outspoken, use my veteran leadership and things that I've been through to help these guys jump ahead of that curve."
Quick shots
-- Scott said Sessions will likely need surgery on his hernia in the offseason. "I'm a little surprised he's held up as well as he has," Scott said. "He's a gamer and gives it his all. It was one of his best efforts on the defensive end."
-- Ryan Hollins will remain in the starting lineup at center against the Pistons. "I thought Ryan played pretty well," Scott said. "He battled all night with (Nets center Brook) Lopez. I like what he did."
-- Cavs forward Antawn Jamison and Pistons center Ben Wallace have agreed to donate to Direct Relief International in its effort to help the people of Japan recover from the devastating earthquake and tsunami of March 11.

Something was obviously lost when development switched hands from Harmonix to Neversoft. Guitar Hero 3 is still a blast to play, and it looks a lot better than GH2, but it just doesn't feel as good. Part of the problem is that the timing is different. I often found myself strumming too fast, hitt...more

Cancers Diagnosed at Late Stages Despite Available Screening Tests
Almost half of the colorectal and cervical cancer cases and a third of the breast cancer cases in the United States are diagnosed at late stages, when treatment is more difficult, according to "Surveillance of Screening-Detected Cancers (Colon and Rectum, Breast, and Cervix)—United States, 2004–2006," published November 26, 2010.
In this first report to highlight the nationwide incidence of late-stage cancer diagnosis and cancer screening prevalence, the incidence rates of late-stage cancers differed by age, race/ethnicity, and state.
Researchers examined stage-specific cancer incidence rates and screening prevalence for breast, cervical, and colorectal cancer by demographic characteristics in states. National data on new cancer cases were obtained from cancer registries affiliated with CDC's National Program of Cancer RegistriesNational Program of Cancer Registries and the National Cancer Institute's Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results program. State-level cancer screening data were obtained from CDC's Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System.
Significant Findings
Demographic Incidence Rates
- Incidence rates of late-stage colorectal cancer increased with age and were highest among black men and women.
- Incidence rates of late-stage breast cancer were highest among women aged 70–79 years and black women.
- Incidence rates of late-stage cervical cancer were highest among women aged 50–79 years and Hispanic women.
State Incidence Rates
- Late-stage colon and rectum incidence rates ranged from 51.0 to 86.5, and were highest in Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Nebraska, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania.
- Late-stage breast cancer incidence rates ranged from 92.2 to 132.1, and were highest in Alabama, the District of Columbia, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Jersey, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, and Washington.
- Late-stage cervical cancer incidence rates ranged from 3.0 to 8.3, and were highest in Arkansas, the District of Columbia, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Nevada, New Mexico, and Oklahoma.
Authors of the report noted that differences in late-stage cancer diagnoses may be explained partially by differences in screening rates in locations, and among different demographic groups.
Recommended Screenings
The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommends the following evidence-based, population-based cancer screenings—
- Men and women aged 50–75 years should be screened for colorectal cancer with any of the three tests:tests: a fecal occult blood test every year, a flexible sigmoidoscopy every five years, or a colonoscopy every 10 years.
- Women aged 50–74 years should be screened for breast cancer with mammographymammography every two years.
- Women should begin screening for cervical cancer with the Pap testPap test within three years of beginning sexual activity or at age 21 years (whichever comes first). Furthermore, women should be screened annually with three consecutive normal Pap tests and then at least every three years up to age 64 years.
The Affordable Care Act provides insurance coverage of these recommended cancer screening tests by eliminating financial barriers such as co-pays, which is an important first step to increase the number of people who receive these services.

This was a fantastic book.
The main thing I liked was the writing style. Specifically, the fact that as soon as I read it, it felt like an Ultramarines book. The sentence structures were curt and report-like when it came to dealing with Ultramarines. The prizing of efficiency. And yet, the lack of emotion was in itself a sort of emotion and I didn't feel like the book was cold at all.
I didn't like the rushed plot, however. I would have preferred it if Guiliman had stepped up and done some super Ultra-tactics and strategy and kicked some Word Bearer ****. The

Here is another great recipe from those Naughty Nurses (Naughty Nurses BBQ out of Winfield, KS). Below is what Greg shared about this recipe.....
In Kansas City Barbecue Society (KCBS) competitions, the entries are scored on 3 categories: appearance, taste and tenderness/texture. The highest score attainable is 180. Achieving that "perfect" score is a goal for many a cook and is recognized by KCBS by presenting the cook with a 180 pin. I found this recipe on a BBQ forum and it was called the "Perfect Peanut Butter Pie" because his wife had gotten a perfect score in dessert with it at a contest. It lived up to it's name at the Smokin' Red Dirt BBQ contest in Enid, Oklahoma in April by winning 1st place dessert with a perfect 180 score. Kristi proudly displays her trophy and 180 pin in our living room. The first picture is a slice when made as a pie. At Enid we made them in miniature cheesecake pans to serve the 6 judges.
Peanut Butter – Reese's Cups – Oreos – do we need to say more? Click the title next to the photo to get the recipe. Since there is no baking this is the perfect pie for Father's Day, 4th of July or for those upcoming family reunions. It comes together fast and easy!

Well when looking at the weather map of the Midwest it is either Winter or Wet so I got to thinking that this might be a good time to burn off some energy indoors by mixing up this Tex Mex Meatloaf from the Naughty Nurses BBQ out of Winfield, KS. If you can get to the store to get the ingredients – this one is sure to warm you up! Click the recipe title to see at www.kristinashouse.com where you can find a "Print or PDF" button to easily print or save your favorite recipes. Naughty Nurses BBQ Tex Mex Meatloaf Ingredients: 2# ground beef 1# ground sausage 2 eggs 1 cup saltine crackers, crushed 1 medium onion, chopped 1/3 c. of each green and yellow bell peppers, chopped 1- 4 ounce can chopped green chilis 2 tablespoon Cookshack chili mix 1 tsp Kosher salt 2 tablespoons milk Directions: Saute onion and bell peppers until soft in EVOO. Prepare smoker or grill for indirect cooking at 275-300° while onion/peppers cool. Mix all ingredients until well blended. If cooking in an oven place in loaf pans and cook at 350°. If cooking on a grill or smoker we recommend placing the loaf on Frogmats for easier handling. Cook until internal temperature reaches 160°, about 2.5 hours on grill or smoker. Let rest for 15 minutes then slice and serve with warmed queso. In talking with Greg (from Naughty Nurses BBQ) he said, "Don't worry about leftovers, as this makes excellent sandwiches!" I also asked him about "Frogmats" to which he shared…. "They obviously work well for things like meatloaf, also known as fatties in the BBQ world. We often use them for appetizers as we can move a couple dozen at once instead of one at a time. It also keeps them from falling through the grates." Taking that a step further I talked with Greg's supplier, All Things BBQ out of Wichita, KS. For online ordering of Frogmats click here to find the link they provided. They are happy to help people with questions about "all things BBQ." You can reach them by phone at (316) 440-3950. I also talked with Cookshack about their Chili Mix. Now they are based just a step outside my typical geography of the Midwest since they are in Ponca City, OK but you can find their products selling in specialty stores throughout the Midwest and can also order the Cookshack Chili Mix online by clicking here.

This recipe is from my second cousin Greg. Both Greg and his wife are Nurses. They are also a BBQ competition and catering team! Their catering business, Naughty Nurses BBQ is based out of Winfield, KS. Greg and his wife cater for the athletes during the McPherson (KS) Scottish Festival. This Cottage Pie is one of the athlete's favorite dishes. We hope you enjoy this one too. They do not have a recipe per se, and they use bigger pans for catering but, here is how it all comes together……..
Naughty Nurses BBQ Cottage Pie (click title to see this one at www.kristinashouse.com). Smoked beef brisket (point works very well) shredded or chopped. Mixed vegetables Mashed potatoes Mix meat and vegetables to about 1/3 the depth of your pan. A lasagna pan would work well. Add your favorite BBQ seasoning – to taste – to the meat and vegetable mixture. Sprinkle meat/vegetable mixture lightly with shredded cheddar cheese. Make mashed potatoes to your preference but add the same BBQ seasoning – to taste – to the mashed potatoes as well. Top meat/vegetable/shredded cheddar cheese layer with an even layer of the mashed potato mixture. Bake at 350° (they cook in a smoker) until internal temperature in several spots reaches 165°.

Opening day for Susanville Hardball League has come
Chance Loflin, of the Dirtbags, keeps his eye on the ball as he hits it through the Snafu's infield Tuesday, June 26. The Dirtbags won the game 6-3. |
July, 3 2012 — The 23-year and older Susanville Hardball League had its opening day Sunday, June 24 at Memorial Park.
The first game pitted the Hacks vs. the Hornets.
The Hacks ended up coming away with the win 11-8, behind a strong offensive outing by the Hacks.
The Hornets tried their hardest to fight their way back into the game but the Hacks were just too tough and would end up walking away with the win.
The second game had the River Cats facing off against the Chupacabras Monday, June 25 at Memorial Park.
This is the Chupacabras' first season in the hardball league.
The River Cats would end up getting the win in dramatic fashion, holding off the Chupacabras 5-4.
The third game was played Tuesday, June 26 at Memorial Park where the Dirtbags faced off against the Snafu.
Bob Loflin got the start for the Dirtbags and would pitch a gem of a game, allowing three runs with five strikeouts on the evening.
Neil ReBell got the start for the Hacks and would only allow two runs by the time he was taken out.
The Dirtbags got things started in the top of the first when Aarason Perry hit a double, Chip Baumiller scored on the play making the score 1-0.
Perry would eventually score off a base hit by Jeff Ragino making the score now Dirtbags 2, Snafu 0.
The Snafu would get up to bat in the bottom of the first inning, and trailing 2-0 would score a run off of a Casey Williams double.
Brian Stevens would score from second base on the play making the score 2-1.
Josh Zaninovich would come in for relief for ReBell in the top of the third.
It wouldn't take long for the Dirtbags to get their bats to come alive.
In the top of the third inning, Anthony Dickerson would get an RBI base hit scoring Baumiller on the play.
Mike Warmbrodt would step up to the plate and hit a nice line drive through the infield; Dickerson would end up scoring on the play.
The Snafu just couldn't seem to catch up to what Loflin was throwing.
Going into the top of the fourth inning, they found themselves down, 4-1.
Steve Warren, of the Dirtbags, stepped up to the plate.
Behind in the count with two strikes, Warren belted a fastball over the 375 feet mark in left field, making the score the Dirtbags 5, the Snafu 1.
In the top of the fifth inning and the score still 5-1, Aarason Perry got up to bat and for the second time of the night hit an RBI double, scoring Baumiller on the play, making the score 6-1.
In the bottom of the sixth inning, it seemed like the Dirtbags could do no wrong, until the Snafu got the bases loaded and had no outs.
Then a line drive was hit right to the Dirtbags' shortstop, Chance Loflin.
He caught the ball and ended up tagging second base to get an unassisted double play.
Now with two outs and the Snafu's hopes of coming back winding down, Williams got up to bat and would hit a short fly ball that would land just out of the right fielder's reach and would get two runs across the plate.
The score was now 6-3 going into the final inning of play.
Brandon Blosser, of the Snafu, would come in to relief pitch and would hold the Dirtbags to no runs in the top of the seventh inning.
In the bottom of the seventh, inning the Dirtbags brought in Warmbrodt, arguably one of the best pitchers in the hardball league to close out the Snafu.
Warbrodt struck out the first two batters with ease.
He eventually allowed a runner on base due to an errant throw to first.
The runner made his way to second base due to the throw by the shortstop.
With one runner on, and two outs, Warmbrodt struck out the last batter and ended the game, the final score: the Dirtbags 6, the Snafu 3.

A couple of light libations to set the holiday mood
Back during my days at Gourmet magazine, my many duties included teaching cooking classes. I used to tell my students — especially the cooking-impaired ones — that if they made sure to greet dinner party guests with a special homemade drink, they would always win, no matter what else happened that evening.
Let them buy take-out food, rearrange it artfully on platters, then claim it as their own. Nobody would think twice as long as they were handed a special drink on their way in the door. Festive drinks scream, "Party!"
The holiday season boasts any number of festive libations. My favorite is eggnog. After all, if you're trying to crystallize holiday excess in liquid form, how better than to combine sweet cream with strong rum or brandy
But what if — just this once — you don't want to overdo it? How do you cut down the fat and calories in eggnog without losing the drink's signature richness? More precisely, is there a way to keep it creamy without cream? I tried making eggnog using nonfat milk, both regular and condensed. I even tried thickening the mixture with cornstarch. My daughter Ruthie, a connoisseur of cocktails, rejected both of these strategies.
Non-fat milk made the drink too watery. Cornstarch successfully thickened the drink, but in a way that reminded my expert of a loose pudding, not eggnog.
Ruthie suggested losing the non-fat milk in favor of 2 percent milk, which is still much lighter than cream. That did the trick. Then I added Chai spices, which contributed their own luxurious and exotic notes that work so nicely with the more traditional nutmeg.
My second concoction, Christmas sangria, required much less experimentation, if only because traditional sangria — a mix of wine and fruit — is a fairly healthy punch to begin with. Essentially, all I did was swap out the drink's usual summertime fruits for their wintertime counterparts — pomegranates, clementines and apples, along with some fresh fruit juice.
Reformatted in this fashion, a warm weather stalwart suddenly looks and tastes just right for the holidays.
Start to finish: 2 hours 35 minutes (20 minutes active) Continued...
Servings: 4
2 cups 2 percent milk, divided
3 1/2-inch stick cinnamon, smashed using the side of a knife
1/2 vanilla bean, split lengthwise
10 whole cloves
1/2 teaspoon whole black peppercorns, coarsely crushed
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
4 cardamom pods, crushed (or½teaspoon ground cardamom)
Kosher salt
2 large eggs Continued...
1/4 cup sugar
Brandy or rum, for flavoring (optional)
Grated nutmeg, to garnish
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine 1½cups of the milk with the cinnamon, vanilla bean, cloves, peppercorns, ginger, cardamom pods and a hefty pinch of salt. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then turn off the heat and let it stand for 15 minutes.
Strain the mixture through a sieve, discarding all of the solids except for the vanilla bean. Scrape the seeds from the vanilla bean into the milk; discard the vanilla pod.
Wipe out the saucepan and return the milk to the pan over medium heat.
Meanwhile, in a medium bowl beat the eggs with the sugar for 2 minutes, or until they are light and lemon colored. Add the heated milk in a stream, whisking gently. Return the egg-milk mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until it thickens and coats the back of the spoon, about 4 to 6 minutes. Do not let the mixture come to a simmer or the eggs will scramble.
Quickly add the remaining½cup of milk to the pan to stop the cooking. Transfer the mixture to a pitcher and chill for at least 2 hours or until very cold.
To serve, divide the eggnog among 4 chilled glasses, stir in a dash of brandy or rum, if desired, and top with a sprinkle of freshly grated nutmeg.
