President Obama's campaign manager has a message for Wall Street: This time around, we'll lay off.
Jim Messina, Obama's campaign manager, told the hosts of a $38,500 per-plate fundraiser geared towards investment bankers and hedge fund managers that the president wouldn't make Wall Street look bad during his re-election campaign, Bloomberg reports. The assurance follows Obama's call to raise taxes on the rich in his latest budget proposal.
The current attempt at appeasement also comes as Obama attempts to win back the donors that provided him with so much last election. Despite criticizing Wall Street during a 2007 speech at the Nasdaq stock exchange, financial industry donations to Obama outpaced Wall Street cash to his GOP rival John McCain two-to-one at certain points in that campaign, according to the New York Daily News.
Citizens of Oakland -
Anonymous has been watching. Since the inception of Occupy Oakland, We have been actively monitoring your behavior, and exposing the identities and sensitive information of Officers of the Oakland Police Department; as they have continued to act in an unprofessional and violent manner. You tear gassed Us. You shot Us with your weapons. You arrested Us. You beat Us. You also did this to Our Friends, and to Our Families. We watched as you cut budgets, cut Our jobs, closed Our schools, Our parks, and Our libraries, while leaving your own salaries alone. We laughed in disgust as Deanna Santana said she would need to speak to her attorney before discussing her pay cut. The people on this list are supposed to represent the best of what the City of Oakland has to offer. If they are the best, why is there so much trouble within the Police Department, and in the City of Oakland?
We are shocked and disgusted by your behavior. Before you commit atrocities against innocent people again, think twice.
You should have expected Us.

A homeless family occupies a foreclosed house. The community support was really wonderful to see.
I unlinked my arms voluntarily and informed the LAPD officers that I would go peacefully and cooperatively. I stood as instructed, and then I had my arms wrenched behind my back, and an officer hyperextended my wrists into my inner arms. It was super violent, it hurt really really bad, and he was doing it on purpose. When I involuntarily recoiled from the pain, the LAPD officer threw me face-first to the pavement. He had my hands behind my back, so I landed right on my face. The officer dropped with his knee on my back and ground my face into the pavement. It really, really hurt and my face started bleeding and I was very scared. I begged for mercy and I promised that I was honestly not resisting and would not resist.
My hands were then zipcuffed very tightly behind my back, where they turned blue. I am now suffering nerve damage in my right thumb and palm.
I was put on a paddywagon with other nonviolent protestors and taken to a parking garage in Parker Center. They forced us to kneel on the hard pavement of that parking garage for seven straight hours with our hands still tightly zipcuffed behind our backs. Some began to pass out. One man rolled to the ground and vomited for a long, long time before falling unconscious. The LAPD officers watched and did nothing.
At 9 a.m. we were finally taken from the pavement into the station to be processed. The charge was sitting in the park after the police said not to. It's a misdemeanor. Almost always, for a misdemeanor, the police just give you a ticket and let you go. It costs you a couple hundred dollars. Apparently, that's what happened with most every other misdemeanor arrest in LA that day.
With us Occupy LA protestors, however, they set bail at $5,000 and booked us into jail. Almost none of the protesters could afford to bail themselves out. I'm lucky and I could afford it, except the LAPD spent all day refusing to actually *accept* the bail they set. If you were an accused murderer or a rapist in LAPD custody that day, you could bail yourself right out and be back on the street, no problem. But if you were a nonviolent Occupy LA protestor with bail money in hand, you were held long into the following morning, with absolutely no access to a lawyer.
I spent most of my day and night crammed into an eight-man jail cell, along with sixteen other Occupy LA protesters. My sleeping spot was on the floor next to the toilet.
Finally, at 2:30 the next morning, after twenty-five hours in custody, I was released on bail. But there were at least 200 Occupy LA protestors who couldn't afford the bail. The LAPD chose to keep those peaceful, non-violent protesters in prison for two full days… the absolute legal maximum that the LAPD is allowed to detain someone on misdemeanor charges.
As a reminder, Antonio Villaraigosa has referred to all of this as "the LAPD's finest hour."
Thank God news outlets like NPR are all over what happened there that day. Here's what NPR has to say about it:
In the end, there was very little force used, in part because this is a new LAPD. It exercises much more restraint than it once did
Thank God for NPR, or we might actually learn about what the LAPD did to Occupy LA!

Stop Beating Students of the Day: UC Berkeley students clashed with police this afternoon after several tents were set up outside Sproul Hall as part of an Occupy-style protest against tuition and fee hikes as well funding cuts for public education.
Officers in riot gear used their batons in an effort break through a human chain of peaceful "Occupy Cal" protesters that had formed to prevent police from tearing down the tents.
At least seven people were arrested, and the tents were eventually cleared away, but returned later on. According to reports, police plan to remove the tents again later tonight, and a second "showdown" with the remaining protesters is expected.
UC Berkeley Chancellor Robert Birgeneau told students earlier this week that the university supports the spirit of Occupy Wall Street, but will not allow camping on its grounds.

Photography Is Not A Crime of the Day: Just when you think the Oakland PD's response to Occupy Oakland couldn't get any worse, a new video emerges to prove you wrong.
YouTuber antiprocon writes:
While filming a police line at Occupy Oakland after midnight on Nov. 3 following the Nov. 2 general strike, an officer opens fire and shoots me with a rubber bullet. I was standing well back. There was no violence or confrontations of any kind underway.
The incident starts @ 0:31, when a tall police officer can be seen raising his rifle. Moments later a shot is heard, followed immediately by a clearly visible smoke trail.

You may be thinking "Who, me?" but a new poll shows married women spend just as much -- if not more on their sex lives, than their single counterparts.
You may be thinking you spend less on your sex life just because you're coupled up, but think about it: What with paying for sitters on date night, contraceptives, cabs and mani-pedis, are you really spending any less than the average single girl?
Nerve set out to find the answer: For one month, they followed the sex lives of a 29 year-old single woman, a "cougar" in a long distance relationship and a married mom of two. It turns out married women spend more cash than you might think.
Mom of Two says, "I don't have much to tell you, sadly. I got a $25 bikini wax and I think I got to use it all of once." A few days later, she spent $240 on new clothes "in order to keep my husband interested and attracted." Later she got a free pedicure at a promotional event: "I chose a saucy red called 'Kiss the Cook,' to which my husband responded, 'I prefer it when you paint your toes pink or nude.'"
Week One Total: $265.00
Single girl picks up her monthly birth control pills ($20), then attends wedding where she spends $0.19 on texts to her boy toy. "Exchanged four dirty texts while at the wedding, revving each other up for the following day's tryst." She spent $3 in gas driving to his apartment. "Send two texts in a moment of delayed post-coital bliss and in anticipation of next encounter," she says, costing $0.09. "Went to the gym to get further toned for next encounter": $9. The following days see one "random, naughty text" ($0.05) and one "random, idiotic text" ($0.05).
Week One Total: $32.38
Long-Distance Cougar spent zero dollars the first week, saying her boyfriend paid for all their sex-related activities.
Week One Total: $0.00
And that's just Week One!

Getting Your Kids (And Yourself) to Eat More Vegetables!Monday, January 13th, 2014
Z.O.M.B.I.E. VeggiesSaturday, October 26th, 2013
Recently it seems that Zombies have made a real "comeback". Television programs, movie, books, and even cellphone companies have gotten on the Zombie bandwagon. So it seems only natural that Bountiful Baskets should resurrect a few veggies.
Using Pinterest to Organize Your RecipesSaturday, September 7th, 2013
For a long time I avoided the Pinterest craze because I just didn't get it. But as I have taken the plunge I find it an amazingly useful tool for grabbing recipes and tips off the web without saving them onto my computer! The result is an easily accessible virtual storage area for all those fun things I find!

Not until we are lost do we begin
to understand ourselves -Thoreau
I didn't realize how much I needed a creative outlet until I started writing this blog. I had a personal blog that I used post to on a very regular basis, but for a time I lost my voice. I am happy that I have found it again and am even happier to share tonight's dinner. This morning I picked up my Bountiful Basket and immediately began dreaming up different ways that I could use it's contents this week.

Waste Not, Want NotFriday, September 21st, 2012
Picking up baskets from Bountiful Baskets pretty much guarantees that you will be doing loads of chopping and prepping of all sorts of produce. After all of your chopping, peeling and trimming you will accumulate mountains of scraps. Rather than filling up your trash can with the scraps, there are a lot of things you can do to waste not.
My favorite thing to do with the vegetable scraps is to save them up to make vegetable stock. Homemade vegetable stock is tastier and more nutritious than store bought and handy to have on hand. Whenever I chop vegetables I put the scraps into a gallon freezer bag.
Potential Mango RecallMonday, August 27th, 2012
We have been informed that Canadian Food Inspection Agency has recalled a limited number of Daniella brand mangoes due to the presence of Salmonella. One of Bountiful Baskets vendors supplied us with some Daniella mangoes last weekend (8/25) that were included in the Conventional Basket at two sites only; Vancouver, Washington and Salem, Oregon. Also, the full personal cases of Mangoes that were distributed co-op wide on 8/11/2012 are Daniella Mangoes. The mangoes that were distributed in baskets on 8/4/2012 and 7/25/2012 are also Daniella Mangoes.
Our vendors were informed this evening that the grower/shipper of the mangoes that were supplied announced a VOLUNTARY and PRECAUTIONARY recall. There has been no USDA recall. However, "when in doubt throw it out." So with your health and safety in mind we are taking a very preventative and proactive measure and we are asking you to discard all of your produce from the 8/25/2012 basket that you received in Salem, Oregon or Vancouver, Washington ONLY. Those sites will receive a credit for the basket from 8/25/2012. Site wide personal case(s) of mangoes from 8/11/2012 will be credited.
For more information please see Food Safety Watch (http://www.foodsafetywatch.

Why Volunteer?Thursday, August 16th, 2012
Bountiful Baskets is a Co-op, short for Co-operative, which "…is an autonomous association of persons who voluntarily cooperate for their mutual social, economic, and cultural benefit.[1]" (Source, Wikipedia.com) Basically, everyone needs to participate for the Co-op to work and for it to continue.
If you volunteer on a regular basis, THANK YOU! If you haven't, let me help you with a little incentive:
Produce StorageSunday, July 1st, 2012
Refrigerate whole for up to two weeks.
Store upright in the refrigerator in a plastic bag with either an inch of water or with a damp towel wrapped around the base, just like you would have flowers in a vase. They'll last three to four days that way.
Ripen on the counter. Can be stored in the refrigerator for three to four days once ripe.
Store on the counter. To ripen place in a brown bag in a warm location (on top of fridge works!) with a couple apples. To slow ripening separate the bunch and store away from other fruit.
Remove green tops an inch or two above the crown. Refrigerate beets in a plastic bag to prevent moisture loss, which leads to wilting. (They'll last seven to 10 days.) Refrigerate greens separately, also in a plastic bag.
Grower Driscoll's recommends refrigerating berries, unwashed and in their original container. Blueberries and strawberries should keep for five to seven days; more fragile raspberries and blackberries up to two days.
Refrigerate in a sealed plastic bag. It'll keep for three to five days.
Refrigerate in a sealed plastic bag for up to three weeks.
Refrigerate, stem side down, in a sealed plastic bag. It'll last three to five days.
Refrigerate one to two weeks in a sealed bag. Keep in the front of the refrigerator, where it's less apt to freeze.
Citrus fruits
Store oranges, lemons, limes, and grapefruit on the counter. They can last up to two weeks.
Refrigerate ears still in the husk. They'll last up to two days.
Refrigerate, either in the crisper or in a plastic bag elsewhere in the fridge. They'll last four to five days.
Store in the pantry, or any similar location away from heat and light. It'll last up to four months.
Green beans
Refrigerate in a plastic bag for three to four days.
Green onions
Refrigerate for up to two weeks.
Fresh herbs can last seven to 10 days in the refrigerator. "When I use fresh herbs and store them in my refrigerator at home, I keep them in air-tight containers with a damp paper towel on the top and bottom," says Raymond Southern, the executive chef at The Back Bay Hotel in Boston. "This keeps them fresh."
Leafy greens
Refrigerate unwashed. Full heads will last five to seven days that way, instead of three to four days for a thoroughly drained one. Avoid storing in the same drawer as apples, pears or bananas, which release ethylene gases that act as a natural ripening agent.
Take out of the package and store in a paper bag in the refrigerator, or place on a tray and cover with a wet paper towel. They'll last two to three days.
Stored in the pantry, away from light and heat, they'll last three to four weeks.
Ripen on the counter in a paper bag punched with holes, away from sunlight. Keep peaches (as well as plums and nectarines) on the counter until ripe, and then refrigerate. They'll last another three to four days.
Store on the counter, ideally, in a bowl with bananas and apples, and then refrigerate after ripening. They'll last another three to four days.
Refrigerated in a plastic bag perforated with holes, they'll last three to five days.
Refrigerated, they'll last four to five days.
Store them in the pantry away from sunlight and heat, and they'll last two to three months.
Refrigerate. They'll last 10 to 14 days.
Summer squash
Refrigerate in a perforated plastic bag. They'll last four to five days.
Spread them out on the counter out of direct sunlight for even ripening. After ripening, store stem side down in the refrigerator and they'll last two to three days.
Tropical fruit
Mangoes, papayas, pineapples and kiwifruit should be ripened on the counter. Kat Bretcher of Cottonwood, Ariz., ripens mangos in a paper bag in a cool place, and then refrigerates them for another two to five days.
Kept at room temperature on the counter, it'll last up to two weeks.
Winter squashes
Store on the counter for up to two weeks

A great hot dog chili sauce. Was very happy to see that beef is the number one ingredient. Other sauces are lucky to have any meat in them at all.

Students discover the world by an online study abroad experience
Spawned from a successful "World Tour" cultural exhibition in years past, the UAB Office of Equity and Diversity, with the assistance of UAB Faculty & Staff Learning System Administrators Dr. Tavia Sorrell and Tam Le has produced a new online video learning series entitled "World Tour" Series I, a four part diversity learning course available now at www.uab.edu/learningsystem.
Adjoined with a certificate of completion that counts toward volunteer credit upon the viewing of all the videos in the course, the series features a representative from each of the four countries in the series that introduces viewers to interesting information, sights, sounds, and customs from people around the globe-all from the comfort of their office or home. The first installment spotlights China, India, Korea, and the United States as the inaugural countries for virtual cultural exchange. Each segment ranges ten to fifteen minutes.
The United States was chosen so that many short-term international students could also partake in the cultural exchange.
"Viewers can become acquainted with famous places, signature cuisine, and festivals around the world, and improve their general knowledge of countries and appreciation for the beauty and differences in culture," according to the Office of Equity and Diversity,.
"Planning for Series II is in the works," said Dr. Louis Dale, the Vice President for the Office of Equity and Diversity. "After about six months, we will evaluate the feedback of the course participants, and will select four more countries based on the preferences they specified at the end of the course."
The goal is to continue to grow until most countries are represented and this will be 'just the beginning.'
"We want people at UAB to feel comfortable about UAB, and learn as much about culture and diversity as possible." Dr. Dale, speaking to the differing attributes of this initiative from other ongoing cultural initiatives on-campus, says that they wanted to have something accessible on the internet for convenience sake.
Reiterating the value of the course, Dr. Dale remarked most universities should teach diversity.
"If you're not teaching diversity, you're not giving your students the best education.
"The world now is much smaller than it used to be, because now when something happens, instantly, you can see it on your television set or cellphone.
Technology has made us a lot closer, and students especially need to understand that there are lots of other people in the world, and they don't all look like you."
To receive a certificate of completion for the course, one must watch all four videos. The course is available for self-enrollment via the Catalog tab in the Learning System (www.uab.edu/learningsystem).

As chief elected officer of the Society, ASSE's president promotes the advancement of the Society and the safety profession, and represents ASSE before members, other relevant professional societies and various governmental agencies. Professional Safety shares his latest thoughts on the Society, the profession and its practice.
Read past messages in the President's Message Archive.
When we share our knowledge and technology with colleagues in other countries, we provide an outreach service that helps make ASSE a true global leader in SH&E.
|2005-2006 ASSE President Jack H. Dobson, Jr., CSP
Having had the opportunity to serve as your President these past 11 months, I have asked myself this very question many times. Each time, the answer is the same—yes and no. Since I know that sounds like a bureaucratic answer if ever there were one, let me explain.
When we talk to SH&E professionals around the country or attend the various SH&E conferences held locally, regionally and nationally, we start to recognize some common themes. We hear familiar concerns—such as nanotechnology, avian flu pandemic, aging workers, ergonomics, hazardous materials or process safety—that serve as catalysts for in-depth discussions and debate.
These are just a few of the many challenges we face each day, and we tend to view them as "ours" alone, not consciously realizing that our colleagues around the world often are addressing the same concerns. We also find ourselves working more and more with international standards such as ISO 9000 and 14000, and OHSAS 18000.
But these issues are global. In the literature I have reviewed this past year while serving as ASSE President, as well as what I've heard while attending SH&E conferences in other countries, I have found that "our" concerns are virtually the same as those of practitioners across the globe.
For example, while attending the IOSH conference in London, I had discussions with attendees about the aging workforce. SH&E practitioners in other countries are also very much involved in process safety issues. Expositions in Canada and the U.K. feature leading-edge ergonomics and training products, much the same as our expositions do.
What this also shows is that technology such as the Internet can erase many barriers—both geographic and cultural—to connect people worldwide. As a result, information and ideas can move around the globe at speeds never before thought possible. In addition to the superb informational resources we have available through ASSE, I encourage you to seek out SH&E resources generated in places such as the U.K., Canada, Australia, Europe and Asia. As I have learned over the past year, these resources reinforce the work that we do and help us understand that we are not alone in our pursuit of safe, healthy workplaces. Furthermore, when we share our knowledge and technology with colleagues in other countries, we provide an outreach service that helps make ASSE a true global leader in SH&E.
So is SH&E really global? You bet. Next month, I will recap my year as President and bid you farewell. Until then, have a safe month.
Jack H. Dobson, Jr., CSP

QUINCY, Ill. (WGEM) -- As the majority of college football kicked off a new season last week Quincy University had to sit and watch.
But head coach Tom Pajic had the chance to get a sneak peak at his team's first opponent.
The Hawks travel north to Western Illinois on Saturday looking to upend a squad with plenty of momentum following last week's opening night win at Hanson Field.
For QU, it marks the beginning of a two week stretch against FCS competition and a game Pajic says the Hawks can ill afford to make mistakes, especially when it comes to turnovers.
"One for us against Western Illinois is way too many, that's going to really put us behind (on) the scoreboard for sure," Pajic said of securing the football.
"You just can't give the game away in that regard. We need to play well, that's the biggest thing, and we're really excited. I think we're ready and I think we've practiced well."
Hawks linebacker Dan Camp says the players are more than ready for an actual game.
"Everyone is tired of hitting each other," Camp claimed.
"We finally got our scout (team) out there to get a look at the other team's offense, and a lot of players thrive on watching film and adapting to different offenses to play. A lot of us are really excited about that."
The numbers certainly don't favor the Hawks.
Western hasn't lost a non-Division I game in two decades, they own a 10-2 all-time mark against QU, and haven't lost in the series since 1948.
But don't forget the Leathernecks were a heavy favorite in 2004 and barely squeezed out a seven-point win.
Camp doesn't feel there's much of a gap in talent between the two teams.
"There's a lot of guys that are right on the cusp (of playing FBS or FCS), and it's really a big game for us to come out and step up, and to show that we are at their level of athleticism."
Pajic added: "I can only hope that our execution is good. False starts, offsides, penalties, and certainly our turnovers hopefully they're few and far between. We have to go (up there) and play really well, and really for us it's just doing what we do and not beating ourselves."
The Hawks face a pair of Missouri Valley foes to begin the season.
A trip to Indiana State comes in week two before their home opener September 21 against Northwood.

From 1987-1992, I ran the political programs division of The National Association of Realtors — then the largest trade association in the world and operator of the largest political action committee.
As vice president for political programs administration, I had oversight of the PAC, an "independent expenditures" program that could dump millions into targeted races and an "issues mobilization" operation that also spent millions on ballot initiatives that favored the real estate industry.
Our mission was simple: support, influence and when possible control the passage of legislation that benefited the business of selling real estate. We represented 800,000 members of the association — and because of our size and our deep pockets, we often succeeded where others failed. We had the money — and the clout — to influence a government that panders to special interests and elected officials who care little about serving the general public that elected them to office.
My five years with the Realtors confirmed what I had already learned about government as a journalist: That democracy is an illusion and America as a "democratic republic" is a sham.
Government is driven by the haves at the expense of the have-nots.
In 1987, one of our lobbyists learned that the House Ways & Means Committee was considering limited or possibly eliminating the tax deduction for interest paid on home mortgage loans.
Tax deduct-ability of mortgage interest was a major part of the Realtor legislative program.
Steve Driesler, then Executive Vice President for Government Affairs, came into my office to share the news and said: "We've got to do something about that."
"Don't worry," said, "I'll take care of it."
I booked recording studio time, wrote a script, hired an announcer and bought saturation drive-time radio advertizing in the district of each member of the House Ways & Means Committee.
When votes — and more importantly, home owners — drove to and from work in those districts they heard a voice say: "Did you know Congress wants to eliminate one of the main reasons you bought a home? Did you know they want to do away with your ability to deduct the interest on your mortgage on your taxes? If you don't think that's a good idea why not call (Name of Congressman) and tell him or her to protect your home investment. Or call (phone number) and we'll put you in touch with your elected representative."
I booked two weeks of radio time. Calls began to flood Congressional offices immediately.
Two days after the ad blitz launched, House Ways & Means Committee Chairman Dan Rostenkowski called Driesler into his office and said: "Call off your attack dogs. We scrapped that dumb idea."
NAR claimed that studies showed most people took the advantage of deducting mortgage interest into account when purchasing a home. In fact, the claim was not true. Studies show deducting interest has little to do with the decision of potential homeowners to purchase a home. Among civilized nations, counties with higher percentages of home ownership do not allow deductions for mortgage interest.
But it was a good populist argument — even if it was a lie.
And when you have enough money to influence public opinion, lies easily become truth.

Maybe you can do that again since mortgage interest deductions are again on the chopping block under the auspices of austerity. Of course the National Association of Realtors estimates that changes to the deduction could reduce home values by up to 15 percent and "would crush the working class in resort areas and damage consumer confidence to buy a home in middle-class areas."
But there again, Congress does not care about the working or middle-class, the middle-class of which is down to just 26 percent of Americans.
Thanks Doug for a great "insider's perspective" as to how the system really works for 'them' and not "We the People". What's also disconcerting is that the "National Association of Realtors" is just one of thousands of influence peddlers corrupting the decisions of policymakers.
Seemingly the Republic is doomed and until there's rioting and blood running in the streets there will be no change any of us can believe in.
In time, although I can't specifically say when, I smell revolution in the air not only for America, but Europe too as our interwoven complex financial systems unravel. Those without jobs, no food and without homes have nothing to lose, so they'll resort to violence in order to survive.

I watch the demonstrations from many major cities across the USA and they all have a legitimate reason for their marching and sign making. When I was younger I would make note of these demonstrations and send out notifications to many living in their districts with clip boards loaded with voter registration forms. Each state has a given number of counties and I had dividers on my clip board ready for someone of another country wanting to register to vote and allowing my group to do it. All legal, all action driven and maybe a tad more proof is needed before taking the form to the post office.
A great many whiners who march and cry with the horrors of their predicaments should learn the system of voting the bastards out of office and learning who should replace them in the House. My volunteers were trained not to get into a partisan discussion except to convince people to act as well as march for what they believe is right.
This is no longer a popular form of action and some of the excuses we heard from the great unwashed masses were ridiculous. I made it clear that felons will be rejected by the proper authorities.
When I was passing out petitions for Perot to get on the California ballots I always had a pile of voter registration forms. It was a good excuse to push voting. I wouldn't waste my time today as people alone or in groups have no interest in politics and would rather whine.
Maybe this is why we have such boobs in the house asnd senate.
"A great many whiners who march and cry with the horrors of their predicaments should [learn the system of voting the bastards out of office] and learning who should replace them in the House." …extract from post my brackets
Seemingly you missed the point of Doug's expose' Ms. Price. With the magnitude of corruptive money flowing about in D.C., seemingly no one is above the influence of such $$ 'pressure'. / : |
It's said everyone has their price. So few in number are people that can't be "bought off", that it must be assumed that anyone landing in D.C., no matter how well intentioned on the campaign trail will rollover given enough time to the pressures of lobbyists and the percs they provide including campaign money to insure their incumbency at the public trough along with their continued connection to this 'generous' source funding.
Carl Nemo **==
Well then, if everyone has a price then why not simply cancel the democracy. The problem is that it is not the lobbyists who are at fault or even breaking the law. It all comes down to the elected officials. You want to blame someone else when it is people like you who continue to elect members of Congress who are breaking the law.
The voters have lost control through laziness and stupidity. I look at this situation as I look at everything. You look at the government as being corrupted by money and yet it does not seem to get you to change the government.
I always figured that Doug opened this forum for discussions on the problems but all he has done is find a group who want to blame the lobbyists. Obvioiusly you do not work for any programs that needs paid lobbyists to keep an eye on the house. Maybe if you did sponsor something, anything that needs watching you might see it differently but then it would mean getting off your ARSE and throwing offending bastards out of office. No, no, you want the lobbyists blamed for everything and you never see the consequences of this foolish action. Money is your enemy. Blame it on money. No wonder America is in such trouble.
Take over the government and redistribute the wealth and then go away. The wealth will always end up back in the hands of the people who made the wealth. The lobbyists are protected by the Constitution. Unless you are involved in any charitable group or a group who is working on civil rights, you'd have no reason to appreciate what lobbyists do.
CHB is awash with this silly socialism and hatred of money.
Do you even know who builds the hospitals all over America? Do you have any idea who really feeds those in poverty? Do you have any idea who ships billions of dollars to the most poverty stricken areas of Africa or Asia? Americans of great wealth. You want to take the money away from these people to line your sad pockets. Have you seen the list or organizations financed by Melinda and Bill Gates? These people pay lobbyists to protect their investments so the government doesn't try and stop what they do.
Cancel your damn democracy and get in line to take what you have not earned.
Seemingly I've ruffled your 'feathers' Ms. Price.:D
"CHB is awash with this silly socialism and hatred of money." …extract from post
Based on this single sentence, its seems you haven't been reading the comments of posters to this site over time, but simply use it as your personal 'horn' to blast your lifelong bonfides, that from reading such would lead one to think you are a female Da Vinci. / : | I've never detected such bias, if anything the opposite with many ideas proffered by participants on how to correct the ills of our government.
Possibly you've missed your meds today?
Another thing if I had nickel for everytime you've threatened to either leave CHB or insult the site host and the readership's acumen I'd have accumulated a small fortune in pocket change.
If you find us to be so vile, then possibly it's time to carry your threat of self banishment…no?
Carl Nemo **==
This is the best you've ever written Sandy. 100% spot on. Focused on the point at hand and with purpose beyond your typical fare. Kudos.
/ : | …?
Carl Nemo **==
Actually… in contrast to your reply, she never blasted forth with her bona fides, never threatened to leave, and was quite cogent with her remarks… your reply to same notwithstanding.
What she did do, however, was to call you out for your "all hat, no cattle" whiner attitude, as in "it would mean getting off your ARSE and throwing offending bastards out of office."
Chuckle time, I says to meself…
Almandine, I've noticed a degeneration in our site relationship over time; I.E., from 'friends in thought' to one of adversarial probes on your part as in this case.
Ms. Price's post is all over the map as usual along with her hallmark style of attacking CHB members with her know it all hauteur. Granted she didn't post her life story as usual or her threat to leave CHB, but she's done such so many times, that I'd say it's her modus operandi making it fair game to integrate into a post such as this one concerning CHB'rs getting off their collective arses etc.
You don't know squat about my proactiveness concerning politics, my interface with elected officials etc. and what I contribute to various causes.
I send emails, fax documents and make calls on a regular basis to my Congressional District rep and my two Senators including an interface with my state based reps. On occasion I show up at their so-called 'town hall' meetings. That's all anyone can do shy of marshalling a well armed force to overthrow the government which would be foolish due to the fact they've got the weapons tech and manpower to crush just about any revolt imagineable.
As far as your writings are concerned, I've noticed an incremental degeneration over time to the level of one that's permanently frustrated with the order of the day, but lacks the sophistication to realize that they've got "We the People" roped and seemingly their dopes too. Don't condemn me because I don't share your pollyannish optimism. The definition of a 'fanatic' is one who redoubles their efforts in the face of certain failure…no? / : |
Carl Nemo **==
And now I'm a degenerate too… but with pollyannish optimism, no less. Whatever floats yer boat, Cap'n.
But in fairness to Sandy, to whom I haven't replied in many many months because of her "modus operandi" that you so rightly identify, you need more than mere rationalization to justify your unfounded remarks in this specific instance.
I chose to comment on her post because I was both surprised and happy to see her focusing outwardly on something else… thus my positive reinforcement of such a rare happenstance. I didn't probe anything – especially with an adversarial tone – I merely complimented her on a well written set of cogent comments that I do not feel were "all over the place".
It was you who chose to probe my intent, to which I then replied… as I often have with regard to your own modus operandi, which has become as morosely predictable as what she writes. Just a different set of gripes. Funny, though, how she took the implications of your thought process to the limit… "why not simply cancel the democracy"? I wish you had replied to that question, yourself, which would be the type of response that "friends in thought" strive for.
I, like you, have regularly watched and read comments of diminishing quality here at CHB, especially as compared with just a few years ago, when dialogue was more interpresonal, more robust and threads were more extensive, especially when self-generated blog content was possible. That format allowed for wider ranging discussions in which ideas were fleshed out better with more give and take.
What with comments now being focused toward the outrage of the day, and with the outrages never much changing, it is all too easy to pigeonhole oneself with the same old, same old… whereupon those with any degree of analytical skill whatsoever pretty soon get what you have to say, have heard it time and again, and don't need to revisit the idea again.
New ideas all around!!! Here, here…
Touche' good buddy…!
Btw I simply referenced a "degeneration in our site relationship" and did not call you a degenerate. There's a big difference.
I referred to post content and not one's character. In the event you somehow think so, then I'll apologize so as not to poison the waters concerning any future repartee on this site regardless of a difference in opinion.
Best regards,
Nemo **==
Not a problem Carl… never was. We all wish for much better, especially with our "degenerate" governing class, and you may have hit upon it… my hope springs eternal. (Not that I'm holding my breath.)
I'm a looter. According to Almadine.
Yes Carl, you are correct. I am battling the whiners and complainers which make up most of the voters in America. I keep hoping that instead of whining and bitching, many will simply gather other voters to throw the bastards out of office.
I started at the same time CHB opened. I have come and gone over the years and yet still hope that a few activists might show up. It is a hopeless condition. If the members are not protesting for Jesus Christ they are protesting against money being given to the Congress.
I am beating a dead horse here and people on the internet are doomed to complain to the bitter end. In case you haven't noticed, there are many states who are trying to stop voter registration. I see no objections to this plan as people are too lazy to try and stop it. Using the masses who are protesting to stop for a minute and register to vote, might send a message to the Congress to shape up or get out. That what the message we used during Perot's entrance to the election. It worked and got him on all the ballots and we registered over 2 million voters. Perot's economic plans made a difference over the years. The American people will always line up to blame everyone but themselves for the government corruption.

Rep. Jerry Lewis (R-CA) has been under federal investigation "for his ties to defense contractor and convicted criminal Brent Wilkes and lobbyist buddy Bill Lowery" since the spring of 2006. Beginning in June 2006, Lewis has been paying heavy sums in legal fees to deal with the probe. TPMmuckraker reported yesterday that a $62,000 payment to the law firm Gibson, Dunn, and Crutcher on Dec. 12 last year put him over the $1 million mark.
Rep. Lewis reaches $1 million in legal fees.

Taiwans National Chung Hsing University to use AIXTRON CCS MOCVD system for GaN-on-Silicon research
AIXTRON SE today announced that National Chung Hsing University (NCHU), a new customer and a leading technical university in Taiwan, has placed an order for one Close Coupled Showerhead (CCS) MOCVD system in a 3x2-inch wafer configuration.
NCHU will use the CCS system for conducting research into the hetero-epitaxial growth of Gallium Nitride alloys on Silicon wafers ("GaN-on-Si"). One of AIXTRON´s local service support teams has already installed and commissioned the new reactor in a dedicated cleanroom facility at NCHU's site in Taichung, Taiwan. Prof. Wuu of the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at NCHU, comments: "AIXTRON's Close Coupled Showerhead system is the ideal choice for the study of GaN-on-Si. This is not only my opinion from my years of familiarity with the technical challenges of these materials, but also the consensus of many leading researchers around the world who are using the AIXTRON MOCVD system." Prof. Horng of Graduate Institute of Precision Engineering at NCHU, adds: "The reactor has demonstrated its versatility, ease of operation and reproducibility over the range of parameters of interest to us, we therefore will be able to produce high-quality GaN-on-Si epilayers and other novel structures."

As the South Dakota prep playoffs move to the second round, 10 unbeaten teams put up their perfect marks as they seek a trip to the next round. All remaining playoff teams are looking to avoid the pitfalls that mark the championship road to the DakotaDome.
In South Dakota this year, 10 (four in 11-man, six in 9-man) schools concluded the regular season without tasting defeat. The 11-man unbeatens include 11AAA #1 Lincoln (8-0), which will be tested by a suddenly hot O'Gorman team; 11A #1 Madison (9-0), which faces surprising Vermillion for a semifinal berth; 11B #1 Aberdeen Roncalli (9-0) and #2 Winner (9-0). Roncalli faces one of the biggest tests of all the unbeatens with a home date with Canton, which has five shutouts in six games. Winner will face a battle with Tri-Valley, a team they beat in the finals a year ago. 9AA doesn't have an unbeaten team but feature numerous tough matchups, including Arlington (8-1) vs. Elkton-Lake Benton (7-2), which led the Cardinals in an earlier battle before falling 36-28. 9A includes unbeaten teams in #1 ranked Howard (9-0), #3 Wolsey-Wessington (9-0) and #2 Leola-Frederick (9-0), which is the top seed in the class. The toughest battle in 9A may be Potter County (8-1) which faces Herreid/Selby (7-2) for a second time this year. The Battlers won a 15-12 decision earlier but serve as host in this evenly matched contest. 9B has three ranked teams without a loss, including #1 Hamlin (9-0), #2 Avon (9-0), and #4 Wall (9-0). All three face tough battles, with Avon hosting a talented Dell Rapids St. Mary team. Four of the 2012 champions remain in the hunt for the title including 11A Dell Rapids, 11B Winner, 9AA Deubrook, and 9B Harding County.
Round 1 Picks Breakdown – So, how did we do in the 1st round? After the first round, I have the overall lead with a 42-6 mark, followed by sports director Eric Thorstensen at 41-7 and Matt Peterson at 40-8. Here is a breakdown. I was perfect on three classes while Thor hit two classes perfectly. In three years of picking playoff games, I sit 200-20 or .909. This is the first go-around for Thor and Matt. My 11-man mark this year (1st Rd.) was 23-1 and the best (let the cheering abound) of the picking KSFY Sports trio while Matt had the 9-man edge with a 20-4 mark (our Virginia native knows 9-man). In 11-man picks, Genz – 23-1; Thor, 22-2; Matt, 20-4. In 9-man picks – Matt, 20-4; Genz, 19-5; Thor, 19-5. By Class – 11AAA – Genz, 4-0; Thor, 4-0; Matt, 3-1. 11AA – Dan, 4-0; Thor, 4-0; Matt, 3-1. 11A – Genz, 7-1; Thor, 7-1; Matt, 7-1. 11B – Genz, 8-0; Thor, 7-1; Matt, 7-1. 9AA – Genz, 7-1; Thor, 7-1; Matt, 7-1. 9A – Genz, 8-0; Thor, 6-2; Matt, 7-1. 9B – Thor, 6-2; Matt, 6-2; Genz, 4-4. It seems I'd better study up on the tough 9B class, which with 11B, may be the most difficult for teams to navigate. So, we move on. Here is a playoff profile of each class followed by our picks. Enjoy.
SD Prep Playoffs – 2nd Round Matchups
11AAA, Friday, Nov. 8
#5 SF O'Gorman (4-5) @ #1 SF Lincoln (9-0), HWF
Notes – Sioux Falls O'Gorman comes in with two straight wins and need a victory over #1 Lincoln to salvage a .500 season and gain a berth at the DakotaDome, which they have done 14 times. The Patriots are 9-0 for the first time in school history (8-0 in 1972 but lost in game nine, finishing 10-1) and the class's most dominant team in 2013. The Knights are led by the rushing duo of sophomore Luke Fritsch (140-779-9 TDs; 24-56-261) and Matt White (171-795-6 TDs). Eion Donelan (57-226-4 TDs) provides a spark on the perimeter. Lincoln is led by running backs Caden Quintanilla (199-1,530-23 total TDs), who has 19 100-yard rushing games, 3,369 yards and 50 TDs in his career, and Matt Wagner (27-239-5 TDs). QB Connor Burchill (75-146-1,098-12 TDs) will try to shake off a bruised knee in the opening round. Burchill, who has had a week to prepare and heal, will throw to an electric group of receivers in Trevor Naasz (25-383-2 TDs). Dylan Bartow (16-235-5 TDs) and Nickel Meyers (13-203-5 TDs). Lincoln, which averages 418 yards per game in total offense, has a 382-to-122 point edge over opponents. The Pats, which are seeking a second playoff title (2008), defeated O'Gorman, 51-20, in week two. O'Gorman, which has won eight 11AA titles, has been outscored by opponents, 190-to-171.
Our Picks – Thor: Lincoln Matt: Lincoln Genz: Lincoln.
#3 Brandon Valley (7-2) @ #2 SF Roosevelt (8-1), HWF
Notes: #2 SF Roosevelt picked up a sixth straight win with 28-20 first round playoff win over a stubborn SF Washington as Taryn Christion (110-912-14 TDs rush.; 125-181-1,637-16 TDs) threw for 356 yards and the emerging WR David Mulbah (31-744-7 TDs) had 233 receiving yards. Roosevelt's win ended a run of six straight big class championship appearances (three titles) by defending champion SF Washington. Seth Bjordal (82-514-6 TDs) is also a factor in the backfield. Receivers Chase Vinatieri (38-504-2 TDs) and Tanner Hennings (24-426-5 TDs) offer other weapons for Roosevelt, which owns a 320-to-102 scoring differential. For a second trip to the Dome and the top class title game in three seasons, the Rough Riders must turn back Brandon Valley, a team they beat 30-0 in the season opener. BV, which has 264-to-143 scoring margin, has made substantial improvement since that opening week of play. The Lynx are led by QB Jake Comeaux (145-231-1,652-20 TDs), and a talented receiving corps, including Drew Reinschmidt (40-576-7 TDs), A.J. Garrow (43-309-5 TDs; tied for 5th all-time with 128 career receptions), and Alex Wilde (25-455-6 TDs). Cam Holmes (105-631-6 TDs), one of the state's fastest players, leads the rushing attack. This sets up as a shootout Friday night at Howard Wood Field. Can the defenses be a factor? The two met in the semis a year ago when BV advanced to the Dome with a 34-20 win in Brandon.
Our Picks – Thor: Roosevelt. Matt: Roosevelt. Genz: Roosevelt.
11AA, Friday, Nov. 8
#4 Harrisburg (4-5) @ #1 Pierre (8-1), 7 p.m.
Notes: Harrisburg will be a long-shot on the road against top-ranked Pierre with a title game berth at stake. However, Brandon White's crew play tough defense and have a strong rushing attack led by Christian Trainor (72-363-4 TDs) and Joseph Kabambi (179-787-5 TDs), who had 119 yards rushing and two TDs, including the game-winning OT score in the 27-20 win over Huron in the opening round of the playoffs. QB Shaye Slaughter (83-181-943-5 TDs) runs the Tigers offense. The Tigersbhas won 3-of-5 games, and scored 125 points this season. This is Pierre's first meeting with Harrisburg. The Governors have been Class A's top team all season in rolling up an 8-1 record. Senior Alex Gray (114-196-1,762-18 TDs passing; 94-432-9 TDs) directed Pierre to a 59-19 opening round win over Brookings by throwing for 216 yards with two TDs and a TD run. Gray is one of the state's top players and is the team's resilient leader, fighting off a stress fracture to play (earlier this year) and lead every week. Ethan Case (76-585-6 TDs' 30-395-TD rec.) had 142 yards and two TDs runs in the opening round win.. Other key personnel for Jayson Poppinga's Pierre team include Garrett Pochup (23-584-6 TDs rec.), Shay Reinke (18-303-2 TDs rec.), Jace Jerome (86-428-2 TDs rushing) and the dynamic Austin Christopherson (26-476-8 TDs), who has 10 total TDs, including both a punt return (41) and a kickoff return (95) for a score. The Govs, which only have a 29-26 loss to Yankton, own a 310-to-140 point differential and have three straight wins. A win over Harrisburg sends the Governors to their second-ever playoff title game (44-6 loss to O'Gorman, 1988).
Our Picks – Thor: Pierre. Matt: Pierre Genz: Pierre
#3 Yankton (5-4) @ #2 Watertown (6-3), 7 p.m.
Notes: Yankton, which has won 4-of-5 games after a 1-3 start, will head to Watertown for a showdown with the Arrows and a championship game berth at stake. On Oct. 4, Yankton, which owns six playoff titles in 11 appearances, rallied for a 17-7 win over Watertown. Like that one, this game is in Watertown. The Bucks, which own a 255-to-221 point edge, opened the playoffs with a 48-12 win over Mitchell. Yankton's big-play pass-oriented offense is directed by QB Mason Strahl (90-163-1,350-12 TDs), who has a connection with senior wide receiver J.J. Hejna (55-1,034-9 TDs), who is being watched by FCS school while putting together one of the best seasons by a receiver ever. Yankton will look to Jordan Lightner on the ground after losing Levi Davis to injury earlier this season. Lightner had two rushing TDs against Mitchell. A key weapon for the Bucks is kicker Reed Sawatzke, who has made 9-of-13 field goals and 23-of-25 extra points. Watertown will look for a little revenge with Yankton after the earlier loss. The Arrows, which own a 250-to-176 point differential, have won four straight games since the loss to Yankton. In the opening round of the playoffs, they ousted Douglas, 54-7. Senior Shay Bratland (216-1,304-15 TDs; 12-320-4 TDs rec.) along with Gray of Pierre and Hejna of Yankton are prime candidates for offensive player of the year in 11AA. Bratland, who has the attention of FCS schools, is fast, strong and a big-play weapon for Steve Svendson's team. Under center will be QB Logan Gabriel (64-139-1,036-11 TDs), whose favorite target is Jess Poppen (21-344-5 TDs). Poppen is also a weapon with his leg, hitting 4-of-5 field goals and 26-of-29 extra points.
Our Picks – Thor: Watertown. Matt: Watertown. Genz: Watertown.
11A, Monday, Nov. 4
#8 Vermillion (2-7) @ #1 Madison (8-0), 7 p.m.
Notes: Top Class A seed Madison, which has a 365-to-97 point edge, come into the game as a huge favorite. The Bulldogs, which averaged 206.6 rushing yards and 155.8 through the air, defeated Vermillion, 44-8, earlier this year. The Bulldogs are chasing their first ever state playoff football title. With rushing and passing combined, total yardage amounts to 3,263 yards or 362.6 per game. Jacob Giles is a southpaw-slinging QB (75-1371,386-11 TDs), who leads the offense. The ground game is keyed by senior Rush Milne (164-1,005-25 TDs; 7 rec., 160 yards, 2 TDs). Preston Nordling (27-601-5 TDs) leads the receiving corps. Madison, which has 14 interceptions, has allowed just 184.7 yards per game, including only 105.1 rushing yards. Nordling, who has two interception returns for TDs, is dangerous on punt returns with 11 returns for 251 yards and two TDs. Vermillion, which ended a seven-game losing streak with a 8-0 win over Dakota Valley, is the #8 seed. They moved on as senior linebacker Alex Osborne willed them to victory with 14 tackles, a safety, and a school-record seven sacks. The Tanagers, which missed the playoffs a year ago, average 123.2 yards (1,109) rushing yards. They are led by running backs Regan Bye (108-430-2 TDs; 16-163) and Tyler Madsen (101-355-4 TDs). Another Tanager weapon is kicker/WR Ethan James (14-282-TD rec., 6-9 on field goals).
Our Picks – Thor: Madison. Matt: Madison. Genz: Madison.
#5 Belle Fourche (5-4) @ #4 Dell Rapids (7-2), 6 p.m.,
Notes: Belle Fourche will look to extend a three-game winning streak when the Broncs face 3-time defending champion Dell Rapids, which is seeded #4. The Broncs, which own a 230-to-163 scoring edge, have recorded consecutive shutouts when they own an 87-0 scoring edge. One of those wins was the 38-0 playoff win over Pine Ridge.

Tanner Solberg (16-56-255-6 TDs) leads the offense at QB. The Quarriers get it done at the start of the game (95-to-34 point edge in the 1st Q) and after halftime (65-to-7 points edge in third quarter).
Our Picks – Thor: Dell Rapids. Matt: Dell Rapids. Genz: Dell Rapids.
#7 Chamberlain (5-4) @ #2 Hot Springs (8-1), 6:30 p.m.
Notes: Hot Springs, which received a forfeit from Little Wound in the opening round, is on quite a run with eight straight wins. The Bison are led by Jake Oberpriller (128-1,167-15 TDs) on the ground. Senior Justin Harkless (18-63-283-5 TDs) is under center. Chamberlain, which has a 214-to-205 scoring margin, face Hot Springs on a four-game winning streak, including the 12-6 win over Todd County in the opening round of the playoffs. In those four wins, they have a 166-to-26 margin. The Cubs are led by QB Chris Schwartz and running back Hunter Hallock.
Our Picks – Thor: Hot Springs. Matt: Hot Springs. Genz: Hot Springs.
#6 Tea Area (5-4) @ #3 West Central (7-2), 7 p.m.
Notes: With a trip to the 11A semifinals on the line, West Central will try and defeat Tea Area for a second time in three weeks. In the regular season finale, the Trojans took a 46-9 decision. West Central, which owns a 364-to-75 scoring margin this year, has won four straight when they own a 191-16 scoring edge, including the 54-0 win over Cheyenne Eagle Butte in the opening round of the playoffs. West Central, which has won a state-best 11 playoff titles, are directed on offense by Jace Hanisch (12-28-202-2 TDs), who has stepped in at QB for Noah Matson, hurt in week four. The team has a dynamite trio of backs include Cody Bussell (78-607-8 TDs), Cole Tirrel (69-637-13 TDs) and Cody Miller (79-501-9 TDs). Tea Area, which opened the playoffs with a 34-14 decision over Lennox, will look to advance despite losing their QB Taylor Roeman two weeks ago. The Titans own a 252-to-149 scoring edge. They are led by Gunnar Ensz (750753-13 TDs) and Cooper Hansen (54-556-7 TDs) on the ground and Jordan Fechner at QB. Tarin Smallfield (15-285-4 TDs) is the main receiver.
Our Picks – Thor: West Central. Matt: West Central. Genz: West Central.
11B, Monday, Nov. 4
#8 Tri-Valley (4-5) @ #1 Winner (9-0)
Notes: When #1 Winner meets Tri-Valley in the quarterfinals, it will match the two teams that played for the 2012 championship with the Warriors prevailing 13-6. Winner, which has won five playoff titles, also defeated Tri-Valley, 12-6 in the 2009 title game. Winner will try and win a 22nd straight game, matching the run of the 1980-82, a mark that ranks 15th on the all-time 11-man consecutive wins list. The Warriors, which have a 186-to-20 margin over the last four opponents, have a 341-to-68 points per game differential. They advanced with a 34-8 win over Bon Homme. A program that is defined by power running and shutdown defense, Winner is led by Trace Meyer (113-1,046-16 TDs), Sam Naasz (68-585-6 TDs) and QB Nathan Galbraith (52-388-6 TDs; 10-32-272-3 TDs). Jay Brandis (8 sacks, 14.5 TFLs) and Kray Krolikowski (6.5 sacks) lead the defense. Tri-Valley, which has struggled through a 4-5 season, found success in the playoffs - a 20-14 win over Beresford in the first round of the playoffs. After being outscored 141-to-115 this season, the Mustangs will look to move into the semifinals by trying to defeat an old nemesis in Winner. Tri-Valley has won three playoff titles and appeared in five 11B championships in six seasons. They are led by the running back group of Nick Buchmann (132-765-7 TDs), Austin Van Asselt (139-627-4 TDs) and Derek Eldeen (65-313-5 TDs). Clark Haugen leads the team under center. Logan O'Hara and Joseph Newman are solid defenders. This game sets up as a tough defense, run-oriented battle that favors the defending champion Winner, which also gets the game in the friendly confines of its home field.
Our Picks – Thor: Winner. Matt: Winner. Genz: Winner.
#7 Redfield/Doland (7-2) @ #2 St. Thomas More (8-1), 7 p.m.
Notes: Matt Eastmo (87-150-1,513-20 TDs) leads an explosive St. Thomas More squad, which has only a 30-13 loss to Winner on the road. Riley Scherr (50-485-13 TDs rushing; 16-353-5 TDs) and Caleb Skinner (52-384-9 TDs rushing; 17-202-2 TDs) are dual threats out of the backfield while Jacob Henderson (35-768-11 TDs) is one of the state's top receivers. STM, which has a 347-to-83 scoring margin, has won four straight. They averaged 212.2 yards rushing and 175 yards passing. Redfield-Doland has had a resurgence in 2013 with Keith Gall's team going from 1-7 a year ago to 7-2 and a second round playoff berth. It is a squad, which owns a 306-to-136 point differential, led by the running of Landon Rohlfs (143-894-13 TDs) and Jake Baloun(78-632-5 TDs) with QB Kyle Stover (24-61-527-7 TDs) running an efficient offense and wide out Ephram Albrecht (15-389-7 TDs rec.) providing big plays. Redfield-Doland will look to do what Winner did to the Cavaliers - pound the ball relentlessly and slow down STM's dynamic pass offense.
Our Picks – Thor: St. Thomas More. Matt: St. Thomas More. Genz: St. Thomas More.
#6 Custer (7-2) @ #3 Parkston (8-1), 6 p.m.
Notes: Parkston, which has a 212-to-48 scoring margin and five shutouts, will do what they always do, pound the rock and play tough defense. It has worked in eight of nine games this season.

Our Picks – Thor: Parkston. Matt: Parkston. Genz: Parkston.
#5 Canton (8-1) @ #4 Aberdeen Roncalli, 6:30 p.m.
Notes: When Canton meets Aberdeen Roncalli tonight, it will match up two of the hottest teams in South Dakota prep football. Top-ranked Roncalli, which has won two titles (2005, 2006) stands 9-0 and unbeaten through the regular season for a second straight year. The Cavaliers, which has a 404-to-50 scoring differential, has recorded four shutouts (state-high 50 since 2004). In the last six games (since Sept. 20), Roncalli has a 329-to-23 margin with three shutouts. The Cavaliers, which opened the playoffs with a 42-10 win over Groton, are led by Dalton Cox (91-992-19 TDs; 19-310-8 TDs rec.), Brayden Hilton (65-545-7 TDs), Lucas Lorenz (15-253-4 TDs rec.) and QB Zach Lundquist (62-95-887-17 TDs). Canton, which owns a 354-to-76, scoring differential, has recorded five shutouts in six games, making the C-Hawks one of the most dominant teams in 11B. Canton, which has only a 21-14 loss at Parkston in week two, has a 263-to-20 scoring margin since Sept. 27. In the opening round, they rolled past McCook Central/Montrose, 50-0. The C-Hawks, which seek a first title since 2006, are led by QB Cody Majeres (79-545-13 TDs; 25-40-495-5 TDs), running backs Gabe Dolen (101-721-10 TDs; 58T), Jake Ablett (72-563-6 TDs; and Tanner Broughton (63-409-6 TDs), along with tight end Eli Ripley (13-247-2 TDs). Canton advanced to the quarterfinals with a 50-0 win over McCook Central/Montrose. It is hard to fathom that these two teams meet in the quarterfinals as the #4 (Roncalli) vs. #5 (Canton) seeds. It will be a physical battle in a survival of the fittest. Don't miss this one.
Our Picks – Thor: Canton. Matt: Canton. Genz: Canton.
9AA, Monday, Nov. 4
#8 Menno/Marion (5-4) @ #1 Gregory (8-1), 7 p.m.
Notes: Nick Gortmaker and Menno-Marion opened some eyes with a 40-36 upset win over Garretson in the playoff's first round. For the Razorbacks, it was the biggest win of the season, when they have built a 309-to-245 scoring edge. Now they face the #1 seed Gregory, which is on a roll with seven straight wins. Gortmaker (153-1,667-20 TDs) had 45 carries for 333 yards and four TDs. He is joined by Chet Petersen (162-960-11 TDs), a hard-running RB who could be the second Razorbacks over 1K. Gregory is led by Kurt Braun (110--735-10 TDs), who leads the Gorilla offense. Brady Boes, Paul Taggart, Gavin Thomas, and others key the #1 Gorillas, which owns a 182-to-20 scoring edge over the last four straight wins. Overall, they own a 369-to-114 scoring edge over opponents.
Our Picks – Thor: Gregory. Matt: Gregory. Genz: Gregory.
#7 Elkton-Lake Benton (7-2) @ #2 Arlington (8-1), 7 p.m.

E-LB is led by QB a Trevan Farnham and standout receiver Heath Schindler. E-LB has a 168-to-26 scoring margin in five straight wins, three by shutout. Arlington, which owns a 341-to-178 scoring edge, has been involved in three straight tough games, including a hard-fought 22-20 win over Webster Area. The Cardinals are led by Andrew King (97-602-15 TDs; 44-72-876-12 TDs), a dual threat. Luke Weber (85-823-5 TDs) and Tanner Lemme are other weapons for Arlington. Expect this to be another hard fought, north eastern SD battle.
Our Picks – Thor: Arlington. Matt: Arlington. Genz: Arlington
#6 Kimball/White Lake (7-2) @ #3 Deubrook Area (8-1), 6 p.m., White
Notes: Kimball/White Lake is nearly always a factor in the playoffs, led by head coach Dale Taylor, The WiLdKats are led by Ethan Gaulke, who had 26 carries for 273 yards and 3 TDs in a first-round playoffs win, and Riley Talbott, who led a 36-8 win over Woonsocket/Wessington Springs/Sanborn Central.

Our Picks – Thor: Deubrook. Matt: Deubrook. Genz: Deubrook.
#5 Hill City (8-1) @ #4 Bridgewater-Emery/Ethan (8-1), 6 p.m.
Notes: This game hinges on who wins the battle upfront. Both Hill City and Bridgewater-Emery/Ethan like to pound the rock. Hill City, coached by Chad Ronish, is led by the tandem of Dylan Thomas (QB) and Gage Skillingstad (RB). Hill City, an 11B team a year ago, has transitioned to 9AA with success. The Rangers, which has won eight straight, advanced with a 36-8 win over DeSmet/Iroquois. Hill City has 395 carries for 2,869 yards and 38 TDs on the ground. They are 14-of-40 for 200 yards passing. As you can see, they are a run-oriented attack led by Skillingstad (141-1,124-16 TDs) and Thomas (109-1,080-13 TDs), both 1,000-yard rushers this season. While Hill City is a run-based attack, Thomas has over 1,300 yards passing in his career. Jeff VanLeur, whose 221-100 career record ranks second among active coaching leaders nationally, brings in an 8-1 BEE team that already has five titles and is on a six-game winning streak, including three shutouts. In that run, the Seahawks have a 257-to-42 scoring edge and own a 359-to-113 overall ppg edge. BEE, which averages 318.4 rushing yards, has outscored foes 243-to-50 in the first half. They are led by Wade Miller (172-1,407-24 TDs), Jordan Grosdidier (126-853-15 TDs) and QB Blake Bartscher (34-48-418-2 TDs; 67-440-3 TDs).
Our Picks – Thor: BEE. Matt: BEE. Genz: BEE.
9A, Monday, Nov. 4
#8 Lemmon/McIntosh (6-3) @ #1 Leola/Frederick (9-0), 6 p.m., Frederick
Notes: Brody Peterson, who ran for 252 yards vs. Faith earlier, is the key weapon for Lemmon/McIntosh, which looks to knock off to upset the top-seed. The Cowboys have a 272-to-119 scoring edge and are hot with a 170-to 18 ppg differential in four straight wins, including two shutouts. Marty Morlock's Titans are unbeaten, led by running back Logan Weisser (76-791-11 TDs), QB Dane Campbell (41-83-795-15 TDs) and wide receiver Dereck Podoll (18-341-6 TDs). Leola-Frederick has a 258-to-18 scoring margin over the past five weeks. Overall, they own a 421-to-55 margin in a season in which they have scored 56 TDs and rushing for over 2,400 yards and total offense of more than 3,200.
Our Picks – Thor: Leola/Frederick. Matt: Leola/Frederick. Genz: Leola-Frederick.
#7 New Underwood (7-2) @ #2 Howard (9-0), 6 p.m.
Notes: Howard, the top-ranked team in 9A but the #2 seed, face a challenge from the explosive team from New Underwood, which has a 343-to-213 overall scoring edge, including five games of 40 points or more. New Underwood won its initial six games of the season before falling to 9B #3 Wall, 47-26, and Kadoka Area, 46-0.

Sitting Here.
Shall I ponder life and all its misfortune?
Or possibly seek out the Augustinian approach?
All is good but mixing a greater and a lesser makes evil.
There's always that last deadly option,
No such thing matters at this age.
But it so vividly does!
Tragedy strikes and I have no voice.
Did any of us? Ever?
Or did we silence ourselves to cope with the things we could not change?
Did the flowers that bloomed yesterday, pass and die today?
Or did they bloom brighter than ever before?
Did we forget the past and try to burn down dreams?
Or did we rise from the ashes to press on?
We traded a glory for a grace!
Searching aimlessly on the ground like animals!
Visions blurred and colors scattered!
Perception beaten and bruised to a mold!
Once, we lived full!
Time was of the essence, but mortality wasn't a limit!
Marking this world was our aim!
We traded that for barely leaving a fingerprint!
Did the corruption of minds poison our hearts as well?
Did the fallacies of men take us to the foxhole too?
That through blindfolds we could not see!
Or maybe we're more aware now?
Making a breakthrough in a generation!
Pushing through the debris of past failures,
Lighting a way for progress and reformation!
It's a coin toss away, this life.
We either light the matches or we throw them out!
We're either complacent or we're restless!
We either move for the greater or we sit for the minimum.
I don't want to sit anymore…
