Cotton Bowl
2007 Cotton Bowl Preview
by Jordan Adams
Missouri (11-2) vs. Arkansas (8-4)
Conference match-up: Big 12 vs. SEC
Date: Jan. 1, 2008
Location: Cotton Bowl, Dallas, Texas
Spread: Missouri -3
Two high-powered offenses will take the field on the first of the year in Big D, and each couldn't be any more different. The Mizzou Tigers feature junior quarterback Chase Daniel and his multi-dimensional spread attack, featuring a quartet of impressive wideouts and a the best duo of tight ends in all the country in Chase Coffman and Martin Rucker. But the biggest threat is merely just a freshman. Jeremy Maclin broken the freshman all-purpose yards record this season and is a threat to bust one every time he touches the ball. For the Hogs, Arkansas holds arguably the best rushing game in the nation with Run DMC Darren McFadden and his explosive partner in crime Felix Jones. Defenses beware.
Missouri can cover if: they make the Razorbacks' offense solely ground game capable. Casey Dick has been inconsistent to say the least at quarterback since being pegged as the starter in 2006, and making him ineffective will also create fewer opportunities for the Hogs runners. We all know Missouri's offense is top notch, and they will need to dominate over Arkansas' shaky secondary, especially considering they will be in nickel and dime formations throughout the game. The Tigers want to dictate the tempo, whether choosing to go no-huddle or rather going with a slowing pace when running Tony Temple out of the backfield. Regardless, Mizzou takes very good care of the football; so don't expect any late Christmas gifts coming from this Big 12 team.
Arkansas can cover if: they do indeed get Missouri out of sorts and win the turnover battle. If they aren't turning Chase Daniel and his offense over, then they will be on the field all game. The Razorbacks defensive unit is not good enough to force punts throughout the game, so they will have to rely on big plays, such as sacks to stop drives and key turnovers to swing momentum. Missouri has a good defense, but both McFadden and Jones will get their yards. Points will be coming from all over the field, but if Arkansas can keep Daniel and company off the field with long drives of their own, that's a big plus for the small underdog.
General notes: This will be the Tigers' first Cotton Bowl appearance since 1946, while the Razorbacks are 3-6-1 all-time in this bowl game. These two last met in the 2003 Independence Bowl, with Arkansas coming out with a 27-14 decision. Who knows how the absence of Houston Nutt will affect this SEC team. It will be the first time since 1997 a new coach will be patrolling the sidelines. Both teams have combined to go 74-11 when scoring 30 points or more since 2001. It's safe to say the winner will top that mark yet again.

Darren McFadden's Availability In Question
Last week Darren McFadden could be seen driving a new Cadillac Escalade. Now, questions are being asked about how he got it. According to a complianace director from another University, if D-Mac received the car as a payment for future services, he is then a proferssional and no longer elligible for college football. That would mean no Cotton Bowl. If he simply went in and bought the car, got a loan like any other shopper, with a delayed payment plan, he is still within NCAA guidelines and would be elligible for the bowl game. Razorback fans have to be hoping it's the latter case.
Sports Information Director Kevin Trainor told us that the University is aware of the situation and that their compliance director is investigating.
Re: Cotton Bowl
Cotton Bowl Preview
By Judd Hall
Cotton Bowl
Missouri (11-2 SU, 8-3-1 ATS) vs. Arkansas (8-4 SU, 7-4 ATS)
How they got there:
The Tigers are making their first trip to the Cotton Bowl since 1946, winning six of their final seven games. It's Mizzou's third consecutive bowl game under head coach Gary Pinkel. However, they must feel cheated after watching the Jayhawks, a team they beat, make it to a BCS bowl.
Arkansas started the year off on the wrong foot, losing two of its first three matches. However, the Hogs made amends at the end of the season by going 5-1 SU and ATS to wrap of the regular season. The crown jewel of the Razorbacks' year was beating then No. 1 LSU in Baton Rouge to end Houston Nutt's tenure as head coach. That game most likely propelled them into the Cotton Bowl.
What to expect:
There is a big "if" to this game in regards to Darren McFadden lining up in the backfield for Arkansas right now.
Should McFadden play, expect to see him in a myriad of different spots on the field. Anywhere from under center, wide receiver or at running back and you'll see him. McFadden is 12th in the nation in all-purpose yards with 1,725.
On the Missouri side of the ball, you'll see a great spread offense that benefits for the No. 14th in the country in terms of turnover margin. And the Tigers have the third best defense in the Big XII, allowing just 24.5 PPG in 2007.
Players to Watch:
Missouri – Quarterback Chase Daniel has great mobility and ridiculously accurate when throwing the ball. His favorite targets are Jeremy Maclin (77 receptions, 1,023 yards, nine TDs) and Martin Rucker (81 catches, 815 yards, eight TDs). Don't forget about Tony Temple in the backfield, gaining 758 yards on the ground to go along with eight scores.
Arkansas – Running back Darren McFadden because of two reasons. One: You just don't know if he's going to be playing or riding dirty because of his little snafu with the Cadillac. Two: he's arguably the best college football player we've seen in the past 10 to 15 years.
Bowl Records:
Arkansas isn't the most prolific team in the postseason, going 11-22-2 since 1934. And the Hogs recent history doesn't exactly glow with a 1-4 record in their past five bowl contest.
Mizzou is a lackluster 10-14 in 24 bowl appearances. That includes a 27-14 loss to Arkansas as three-point 'dogs in the 2003 Independence Bowl.
Inside the Line: Missouri -3, 69
Talk about a line not moving. This line has stayed sessile ever since being released on Dec. 3. There are a few places that are moving the spread to four-points in favor of the Tigers, but that's it.
Expert Opinion: Christian Alexander
On the one hand you have the Missouri Tigers and their dangerous spread attack led by junior QB Chase Daniel who finished fourth in the Heisman Trophy balloting. On the other you have the Arkansas offense with their devastating ground game led by junior RB Darren McFadden who was the runner-up for the Heisman for the second year in a row. You certainly won't find a bowl game with two bigger individual stars going up against one another.
Landing in the Cotton Bowl was more than anyone could have hoped for in Razorback land after the Hogs were just 3-3 at the midway point of the season. On the other hand, after knocking off Kansas in late November (my College Football game of the year), the Tigers were one game away from playing for the National Championship.
Unfortunately, Mizzou couldn't get past Oklahoma in the Big 12 championship, losing to the Sooners for the second time this year. But then the BCS seemingly penalized Missouri for making it to the Big 12 championship and took one loss Kansas as an at-large BCS team heading to the Orange Bowl. The Tigers are understandably upset and out to prove that they should be in the BCS and are one of the best teams in the nation.
VI Prediction:
I thought long ago that Missouri would win this game easily. Regardless of McFadden's status for the game, the Tigers are a more complete team. Their only losses were to an Oklahoma side that was one of the best two-loss programs in the nation this year.
Mizzou should have no problems finishing the season on a high note.
Final Score: Missouri 43, Arkansas 24
Re: Cotton Bowl
Cotton Bowl: Arkansas Razorbacks vs. Missouri Tigers
- It will be a battle of Heisman finalists when the Arkansas Razorbacks and the Missouri Tigers lock up January 1 in the Cotton Bowl. Running back Darren McFadden leads a potent Razorback ground game (that put up nearly 600 yards against South Carolina) while Missouri quarterback Chase Daniel leads the tough Mizzou Tigers.
Arkansas racked up 518 yards in a 50-48 triple-overtime win at LSU last time out, coming in as 13.5-point road underdogs. The 98 points scored were OVER the posted total of 58.5.
Casey Dick was 10-for-18 for 94 yards and a touchdown, and Darren McFadden ran for 206 yards and three majors on 32 carries for the Razorbacks.
Missouri was defeated 38-17 by Oklahoma last time out, as 3-point underdogs. The 55 points were UNDER the posted total of 65.
Chase Daniel led Missouri with 219 yards passing and scored a running touchdown in the game.
Team records:
Arkansas: 8-4 SU, 7-4 ATS
Missouri: 11-2 SU, 9-3 ATS
Arkansas most recently:
When playing in January are 1-3
When playing on grass are 6-4
After outgaining opponent are 6-4
When playing outside the conference are 8-2
Missouri most recently:
When playing on grass are 4-6
After being outgained are 7-3
When playing outside the conference are 9-1
After playing Oklahoma are 2-5
A few trends to consider:
Arkansas is 5-1 SU in its last 6 games
Arkansas is 5-1 ATS in its last 6 games
The total has gone OVER in 4 of Arkansas's last 5 games
Missouri is 6-1 SU in its last 7 games
The total has gone OVER in 4 of Missouri's last 6 games
Missouri is 6-3 ATS in its last 9 games
Re: Cotton Bowl
What bettors need to know: Arkansas vs. Missouri
Heisman finalists clash
Two of this season's best college football players will clash in the Cotton Bowl when Missouri quarterback Chase Daniel and Arkansas running back Darren McFadden meet. Both Heisman Trophy finalists and will try to lead their teams to victory on New Year's Day.
McFadden is the key to Arkansas's Wild Hog offense and he rushed for 1,725 yards and 15 touchdowns in 12 games. He tied an SEC record with 321 rushing yards against South Carolina on Nov. 3 and he had nine 100-yard games overall.
Daniel, meanwhile, has emerged as one of the best quarterbacks in the nation, despite his relatively small stature. The 5-foot-11 junior threw for 4,170 yards and 33 touchdowns, and finished fourth in the Heisman voting.
His best game came on Nov. 24 against then-second-ranked Kansas, when he went 40-of-49 for 361 yards and three touchdown passes in the Tigers' 36-28 victory.
Petrino not involved
Recently appointed Arkansas coach Bobby Petrino will not be calling the plays against Missouri. Interim coach Reggie Herring will lead the Razorbacks for the final game of the season before handing the reigns over to Petrino in the New Year.
Petrino was announced as the Razorbacks' new coach just hours after he stunned the Atlanta Falcons by handing in his resignation. He was an NFL coach for less than a year, but claims his heart was always in the college game.
He received a five-year deal worth $2.85 million per year to take over the program. Petrino replaces Houston Nutt, who departed for the Mississippi job at the end of the regular season.
Coffman to play
Missouri tight end Chase Coffman is back in practice and will play against Arkansas, despite continuing issues with his injured ankle. The junior has seen limited action since picking up the injury in the loss to Oklahoma on Oct. 13.
He underwent minor surgery just a few weeks ago to repair bone spurs in that ankle, and is likely to need further surgery after the Cotton Bowl.
"It's still a little bit weak," he told Columbia Missourian after his first practice back. "Just trying to get out there and doing as much as I can."
Coffman is third on the team with 523 yards and seven touchdowns, but those numbers would likely have been much better if he stayed healthy. He is already being linked with a move to the NFL, but his teammates are eager to get him back for his final college season.
Tigers' bowl disappointment
Missouri's staff and players have found it hard to deal with the disappointment of not making one of the BCS bowls. They lost their final game of the season to Oklahoma, but were still considered unlucky not to make the Orange Bowl.
"That was a tough pill to swallow," senior wide receiver Will Franklin told the Columbia Tribune. "But if someone told us back in August we'd be 11-2 and going to the Cotton Bowl, we'd have been happy. We had a magical season, a historical season. We're not going to take nothing back."
The Cotton Bowl will be Missouri's first New Year's Day bowl appearance since 1970. The team's newfound success has led to speculation about the head coach Gary Pinkel's future, but he was quick to pledge allegiance to the Tigers when asked this week.
"I'm staying at Missouri," he told the AP. "I'm very committed here. This is my mark."
Re: Cotton Bowl
Missouri's fast pace hurt in last year's Sun Bowl
January 1, 2008
DALLAS (AP) -Missouri's no-huddle, go-go offense led the nation in plays from scrimmage, usually snapping the ball with about 15 seconds to go on the play clock.
``We want to control the tempo of the game,'' offensive coordinator Dave Christensen said.
It's a philosophy that has helped the seventh-ranked Tigers average 40 points, seventh-best in the country, heading into Tuesday's Cotton Bowl against No. 25 Arkansas. Only five schools produced more yards per game than Missouri's 493 per game and the Tigers were the only team to score 30 or more points in every regular-season game.
This frenzied production is by far the biggest reason the Tigers (11-2) have tied the school record for victories and are preparing for their first New Year's Day bowl game since 1970. All the stars, quarterback Chase Daniel, all-purpose threat Jeremy Maclin, twin tight end terrors Martin Rucker and Chase Coffman and running back Tony Temple, are on offense.
Daniel has taken 638 snaps in 13 games, one of numerous school single-season records.
``We should be overshadowed,'' nose tackle Lorenzo Williams said. ``Those guys are amazing. We always get in trouble for not sitting our chairs, but when they get the ball we want to see what they're going to do with it.''
It can be argued that the Tigers can sometimes go too fast for their own good. Last year's Sun Bowl is a case in point.
A 14-point cushion with 12 minutes to go evaporated in a last-minute 1-point loss to Oregon State. Missouri scored in rapid-fire fashion at times, with four touchdown drives lasting 42 seconds, 2:12, 31 seconds and 58 seconds, but didn't use enough time on the unsuccessful possessions - five lasting 2:06 or shorter - for all of that production to hold up.
Missouri had some of the same issues this season without getting burned. Both Christensen and head coach Gary Pinkel believe when there's a problem it's only because the offense didn't execute.
``What we did is we didn't keep the ball,'' Pinkel said, recalling the 39-38 Sun Bowl loss. ``That's the best clock management you can get. If you don't give the ball back, you don't have any problems.''
A handful of games appeared needlessly thrilling this season, however.
Missouri almost coughed up a 37-13 third-quarter cushion in the opener against Illinois, clinching a nail-biting 40-34 win on Pig Brown's interception at the 1 in the final minute. The Tigers led 28-7 near the end of the third quarter against Kansas, then hung on for an 8-point win and their first Big 12 North title.
Missouri continued to hurry it up while leading by only five midway through the fourth quarter before finally putting Texas A&M away 40-26.
``It's definitely hard to slow down,'' Daniel said. ``You go in expecting to be a fast-paced offense. We score at a fast pace and we're not going to change that.''
Yet coaches and players both felt the Tigers made progress this season in allowing the clock to be their ally. While Kansas was catching up, Missouri had drives of 10 and 12 plays, both ending in field goals.
``I think that's something we did well this year,'' Rucker said. ``When we needed to grind out the clock, we did that.
``That was another step we needed to get to where we are now.''
Recalling the Sun Bowl meltdown, Christensen bemoaned a missed block that cost a first down and a missed defensive holding call on a pass play.
``You can run the ball every snap,'' Christensen said. ``But if you get stuffed you're not going to control the clock.''

Damon and Pythias
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (September 2011)
In Greek historiography, Damon and Pythias (or Phintias) is a legend surroundig the Pythagorean ideal of friendship. Damon is accused of a plot against the tyrannical Dionysius I of Syracuse. He is condemned but allowed to settle his affairs on the condition that he leaves his friend as a hostage. Damon's returning to face execution in order to redeem his friend causes Dionysus to pardon him.
Greek legend[edit]
As told by Aristoxenus, and after him Cicero (De Offic. 3.45), Diodorus Siculus (10.4), and others, Pythias and his friend Damon, both followers of the philosopher Pythagoras, traveled to Syracuse during the reign of the tyrannical Dionysius I (r. 405–367 BC). Pythias was accused of plotting against the tyrant and was sentenced to death.
Accepting his sentence, Pythias asked to be allowed to return home one last time, to settle his affairs and bid his family farewell. Not wanting to be taken for a fool, the king refused, believing that once released, Pythias would flee and never return.
Damon offered to take his spot while he was gone. The king agreed, on the condition that, should Pythias not return when promised, Damon would be put to death in his place. Damon agreed, and Pythias was released.
Dionysius was convinced that Pythias would never return, and as the day Pythias promised to return came and went, Dionysius prepared to execute Damon. But just as the executioner was about to kill Damon, Pythias returned.
Apologizing to his friend for his delay, Pythias told of how pirates had captured his ship on the passage back to Syracuse and thrown him overboard. Dionysius listened to Pythias as he described how he swam to shore and made his way back to Syracuse as quickly as possible, arriving just in time to save his friend.
Dionysius was so pleased and astonished with their friendship that he pardoned them both. It was also said that Dionysius then sought to become their third friend, but was denied.
Another version says that it was a test planned out by Dionysius and his courtiers. The Pythagoreans were known for their claimed moral strength and superiority. Courtiers of Syracuse believed that they were fakes while others disagreed. The plan was devised to test the Pythagoreans moral strength in a time of crises.[1]
Works based on the legend[edit]
- In 1564, the material was made into a tragicomic play by the English poet Richard Edwardes (Damon and Pythias).
- The best-known modern treatment of the legend is the German ballad Die Bürgschaft,[2] written in 1799 by Friedrich Schiller, based on the Gesta Romanorum version. (In this work, Damon is sentenced to death, not Pythias.)
- In Japan, the short story "Run, Melos!" by Osamu Dazai and a nursery tale by Miekichi Suzuki were based on the legend, and in 1992 Toei Company, Ltd. adapted it into an anime.
- In a 1959 Leave It to Beaver episode, Beaver's father relates the Damon and Pythias story and Beaver donates his homework to friend Larry to prove their friendship. Larry confesses moments before Beaver loses a week of recesses.
- In 1821, the Irish poet John Banim wrote a play based on the legend (Damon and Pythias). Familiarity with this play led Justus H. Rathbone to found the fraternal order Knights of Pythias.
- The short story Pythias by Frederik Pohl, published in 1955, entwines the mythic elements with modern political & psychokenetic concerns.
- The film The Delicate Delinquent (1957) featured characters "Mike Damon" (Darren McGavin, but imagined for Dean Martin) and "Sidney Pythias" (Jerry Lewis). As released, the film only vaguely resembled the legend – Pythias avoids jail – but it originated as a testament to the Martin & Lewis friendship.
- The 1962 MGM film Damon and Pythias remained true to the ancient story; it starred Guy Williams as Damon, and Don Burnett as Pythias.
Idiomatic use[edit]
"Damon and Pythias" came to be an idiomatic expression for "true friendship". Thus, Denis Diderot's short story, "The Two Friends from Bourbonne" (1770), begins "There used to be two men here who might be called the Damon and Pythias of Bourbonne." The canines Bummer and Lazarus were eulogized as "the Damon and Pythias of San Francisco" upon Bummer's death in 1865.[3]
In Robert Louis Stevenson's novella The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Henry Jekyll's two oldest friends, Dr. Lanyon and Mr. Utterson (a lawyer), have the following exchange while discussing Dr. Jekyll's apparent self-imposed isolation:
...said Utterson. "I thought you had a common bond of interest."
"We had," was the reply. "But it is more than ten years since Henry Jekyll became too fanciful for me. He began to go wrong, wrong in the mind… Such unscientific balderdash," said the doctor, flushing suddenly purple, "would have estranged Damon and Pythias."This little spirit of temper was somewhat of a relief to Mr. Utterson. "They have only differed on some point of science," he thought…
The use of the Damon-and-Pythias idiom would seem to indicate that, whether the difference was on a point of science or something else, it was not "only" some trivial difference.
The 1889 novel A Marriage Below Zero by Alfred J. Cohen (pen name: Alan Dale) has a young gay couple continually referring to themselves as Damon and Pythias. Soon the upscale social world that they try pass in begins to refer to them with the same term, but as derogatory codeword for 'gay couple.'
Shakespeare's Hamlet addresses his close friend Horatio as "O Damon dear".
Two clerks arrested for drunk and disorderly conduct in Charles Dickens's story "Making a Night of It" (in Sketches by Boz) allude to Damon and Pythias.
In A Bell for Adano, Captain Purvis's and Mayor Joppolo's friendship is compared to the friendship of Damon and Pythias because they dated sisters.
In 1895 Jack London used Damon and Pythias as the nicknames of the two main characters in "Who Believes in Ghosts!" .
In a 1997 episode of the TV series Highlander entitled "A Modern Prometheus", a character portraying Lord Byron references the dynamic duo of Damon and Pythias before he jumps with another man to their "death."
In the 1940 movie The Philadelphia Story, Tracy Lord (Katharine Hepburn) remarks ironically that C. K. Dexter Haven (Cary Grant) and George Kittredge (John Howard) are just like Damon and Pythias.
In the 1950 Bowery Boys movie Blonde Dynamite the boys establish a male escort service out of their foil Louie's ice cream parlor while they have conveniently sent him to Coney Island on vacation, Slip Mahoney (Leo Gorcey) tells the other boys to "Let Damon and Pythias fight it out!" referring to Sach and Whitey (Huntz Hall and Billy Benedict) as to which of the two will be included in a group date with a bevy of femmes fatale.
In the 1971 PG Wodehouse novel Much Obliged, Jeeves, Bertie Wooster tells his Aunt Dahlia that at Oxford his friendship with Ginger Winship was comparable to that of Damon and Pythias.
In Episode 8, Season 1 of Peter Gunn, a character describes his friendship for the murder victim by saying that people referred to them as "Damon and what's-his-name."
In popular culture[edit]
- The Knights of Pythias fraternal organization in 1864 took their name from Pythias to symbolize qualities such as loyalty and friendship.
- A chapter in Little Men, Louisa May Alcott's 1871 novel, is titled "Damon and Pythias".
- In 1966, Episode 20, Season 1 of the television series "Batman", Catwoman says "It's time to separate Damon and Pythias" just before enclosing Robin in a cylinder and vacuuming him up.
- An episode of the HBO series The Wire, "Know Your Place", interweaves several story lines that allude to the Damon & Pythias myth's topic of loyalty and honor between friends.
- Damon and Pythias were featured in the Adventures from the Book of Virtues episode "Friendship" with Damon voiced by George Newbern and Pythias voiced by Jim Cummings.
- Damon and Pythias were featured in their self-titled episode of Mythic Warriors with Damon voiced by David Klar and Pythias voiced by Lyon Smith.
- Part of the plot of the 2003 animated film Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas is based on Damon and Pythias.
- The Nance uses the Damon and Pythias story as a central dramatic catalyst for the story.

And the Winners Are...
The moment you've all been waiting for: announcing the winners of the SEEK2015 Blog Contest!
The Most Important Thing You'll Do On A Mission Trip (Or Ever)
We arrived in Fairbanks, Alaska, with hearts ready to serve, not sure what God had planned for us. We had received an invitation to come on mission, and spirits were high as we prepared to give our all in a radical way. However, we didn't know He had something totally different in store for us than what we had expected.
How To Go To SEEK2015 for Free & Win Your Share of $2,500!
We're looking for entries for this year's SEEK blog contest. You could be the big winner!
Confessions of a SEEK Junkie
Hello, my name is Lisa, and I'm a SEEK Conference junkie.
Enter to Win a Free Non-Student Registration for SEEK2015!
If you're out of college and are interested in going to SEEK 2015, you have a chance to win a free registration!
Why I Left a $100K Job to Become a FOCUS Missionary
What if I told you that, after reading a book about trust—Consoling the Heart of Jesus—I was inspired to drop a $100K job, buy a one-way ticket to Ethiopia and go work with the Missionaries of Charity? What if I told you I heard about FOCUS by stumbling across a video on YouTube? And what if I told you I decided to apply to become a FOCUS Missionary when I saw the recruitment slogan, "Live the Adventure. Trust the Way"?
On the Ground: Fall Outreach at University of California, Berkeley
I enthusiastically agreed to document Fall Outreach at UC Berkeley and then I realized that I had no idea how Fall Outreach worked here. It's a second year campus, two returning missionaries, three new missionaries and a new chaplain and pastor!
On the Ground: Fall Outreach at Western Connecticut State University
Nestled in between the city of Danbury or glorified suburb (as some of us like to call it) of The City, New York City that is, is Western Connecticut State University. From the outside it may look like your typical New England University with gorgeous buildings built from 1903 to the present, lush trees filling up space in the quad, students curled up in every corner, and long lines at the bookstore. This is no ordinary campus though.
On the Ground: Fall Outreach at University of Louisiana at Lafayette
Down south on the bayou lies the campus I serve, the University of Louisiana in Lafayette. If Louisiana makes you think of swamps, Duck Dynasty and gator hunting, you are not to far off. There is a swamp on campus, complete with alligators! I unfortunately have yet to meet any of the Robertson family.
On the Ground: Fall Outreach at University of Nebraska Omaha
So… It's August… In Omaha, Nebraska… #TheGoodLife. There are a couple of things that you can count on. It'll be blazing hot and humid. The roads (specifically Dodge Street) will be under seemingly endless repairs and the population will increase about 16,000 and last, but certainly not least, the FOCUS team serving at UNO will be arriving on campus. Like our compatriots across the nations, we begin the most intense time of the year—Fall Outreach!
Please ensure that popups are allowed in your browser so that we may verify your email address.
Since the pontificates of Pope Paul VI and John Paul II, the Roman Catholic Church has been commissioned to engage and embrace the world with God's message of love once more with 'new methods, new ardor and new expression.' It has come to be phrased, 'the new evangelization.'
For FOCUS, this means meeting college students across the nation where they are and challenging them to examine the meaning and purpose of their lives. Through personal relationships and friendship, we offer college students the true peace and fulfillment they seek in the good news of Jesus Christ and the teachings of the Catholic faith, inviting them to answer His calling in their lives.
We want the FOCUS blog to be a place where our audience contributes to the conversation. We've created this form as a way to reach out and hear from you. You can use the form below to do three things: 1.) Submit a topic that you would like to see discussed by our featured bloggers. 2.) Submit an idea you have about writing a blog post for the FOCUS blog. 3.) Submit a full blog post for us to consider posting on the FOCUS blog. Thank you for your time and effort!

|My Louisiana Lullaby has long petioles and stretches about 9" across at its widest point. Is it time to re-pot? What size pot would be best? 2"?

|Your plant does look like it is bigger than 3 times the diameter of the pot...so I guess you could go up especially if you want it to get bigger.
|You need to slip pot it very carefully - get 3" pot or about - put soil on a bottom - and stick the empty solo pot - and pack the soil around it. Get the small pot out - and slip the rootball in a hole. This way your plant will not get disturbed and will continue to grow without a delay. You can remove a row of smaller baby leaves off at the same time. It is one very beautiful variety and it will probably bloom for you in a month.
- Posted by LunRTwilight 7 (My Page) on Tue, Oct 1, 13 at 22:06
|Thanks, Begonia and Irina. I can't wait for it to bloom! Now that you predicted when it will flower, I'm really excited! (I don't know why I wrote 2" pot... It came in a 2.5", so obviously I meant 3")
I re-potted my violet yesterday. I measured it at 10" across today, so my guess was close, but short. It has done amazingly well in the short time I've had it. It was growing almost straight up when it came in the mail from Fancy Bloomers (a free gift from Donna with my order). I thought the packaging caused it to stand up, but it could have been growing towards a flourescent light. With natural light and the office lights, it has started to lay flat and dwarf the pot even though they say to keep them in the same pot for a month, it just didn't seem fair to wait that long.

|This is my first and only trailer. As you can see, it is recovering from a cat attack and is getting new growth. Can I take the half-chewed leaves off yet? Or leave them until it has gotten a few new leaves? When will I need to move this little guy to a bigger home?
- Posted by fortyseven none (My Page) on Wed, Oct 9, 13 at 1:20
|Hi Lisa
I got some lovely plants from Fancy Bloomers also,
and other plants from another grower at the same time.
I was worried that they pointed straight up with long
petioles. I was advised on this fourm, i think, by Linda,
that they pointed straight up because of crowded green-house growing conditions. The plants I got have all
recovered. The plants from Donna were large in
comparison with the pot size, so I
repotted them before I read on this forum not to.
However, it has been about a month or so, they
are doing well. I used 3" pots. (I actually used 4"
but read here to put them in 3", so I repotted them
down to 3".) As for the ones from the other grower,
they were in even smaller pots than Donna's, with
wicks, and were not able to stand up straight.
I propped them up inside cache pots, putting
cardboard on the edges so the leaves would
not touch the rims. I repotted some of them
from 2" to 3". All of these, the ones from Donna
and the ones from the other grower, have all
been in a humid bathroom under fluorescent
lighting all this time. They are doing fine now.
I turn the lights off at night. I moved a few
out into daylight. They are doing fine. However,
they all thrived under the fluorescent light.
Anyway, this experience is from someone who is
a hobbyist, NOT an expert. Just sharing my experience
with Donna's plants. I would definitely order from her
again! I got more than my money's worth and her
customer service is great. I probably would not order
from the other grower. I think the other one is more
for the "experts." When the plants arrived from the
second grower all wilted
and floppy, I pushed the panic button. I was assured
on this forum that was normal and they would revive.
They did, in time.
|You know, it is absolutely amazing what a bathroom environment can do for plants.
The moisture from the shower, as well as the lighting seems quite conducive to a healthy atmosphere. Our "zimmer" has a large skylight so it is quite bright: another plus.
We used to have *yuck* plastic flowers around the tub for some faux green-ness but I pitched those and now have about ten AVs which are doing quite well IMHO, several of which have very nice leaves that are almost as rewarding as flowers ...
|With your wicked sense of humor, Dave - I wouldn't be surprised you'd start growing poison ivy around your shower. Beware - your family will rebel and drown you - you know where.
- Posted by fortyseven none (My Page) on Wed, Oct 9, 13 at 22:02
|Or maybe the family might slip in some of those flesh-eating plants that Jeff
Smith mixes in with his violets to swallow up any bugs.
|Irina ... I have been jaundiced by the world around me. I was wondering why my acerbic sense of ???? gets me in deep doo doo all the time but then again, I don't worry about it.
Most people either hate me, or they hate me.
My violets wuv me tho ... and I wuv them ... my hostas too
Now my orchids? Only time will tell. Copious amounts of time, I suspect.
Dave (something wicked this way came)
- Posted by whitelacey 6 (My Page) on Thu, Oct 10, 13 at 1:10
Hmmm....Most people either hate me, or they hate me. Methinks thou dost protest too much...
P.S. Enough of the 'barking spiders'!! I have a visual in my head that I really would like to get rid of!
|Dave - you are in trouble. Spiders are going to get you.

There's nothing like bad news to get bulls fired up. Clearly, there's a large crowd which ascribes to the previous theme: "bad news is good, good news is better". This has dogged bears and encouraged bulls since late summer 2010 as QE2 began and zero interest rates remained entrenched. This encourages risk taking given poor alternatives. Wednesday, the hint of more QE post June 30 th contributed to a short-lived intraday bounce. Thursday featured more dreadful economic news with Jobless Claims once again higher and GDP data confirming weak growth. As to the latter, the WSJ noted the report featured more inventory versus consumer spending--this is a bad sign.
So what perked up the bulls today? Microsoft (MSFT) did as hedge fund operator David Einhorn pushes that CEO Steve Ballmer needs to go. So MSFT being a large weight in the NASDAQ and QQQ (NASDAQ 100 ETF) lifted tech Thursday. Also, per many reports, MSFT is a large hedge fund holding so Einhorn has plenty of supporters.
Not much else was going on as investors focused more on a few other winners with good earnings from NTAP (Network Appliance). Another retailer SYMS (Syms Corp. also the owner of Filene's Basement) said it wanted to "enhance shareholder value" and possibly sell the company.It didn't hurt stocks that POMO totals for the last week of trading now exceed $30 billion with another round Thursday. That's a significant amount for the Primary Dealers to trade. Ten-year U.S. bonds rallied to levels where yields are negative if you ascribe to headline inflation data. So why not cash then? Commodity markets closed mostly flat while the dollar was slightly weaker. Volume continues along its weak path and will become even lighter before the Memorial Day holiday Friday. Breadth per the WSJ was positive. You can follow our pithy comments on twitter and join the conversation on facebook. Continue to U.S. Sector, Stocks & Bond ETFs

It's true. In most cases, a doe's peak release of hormones, indicating her willingness to breed, only lasts one day.
QUESTION: Is it true a white-tailed deer is only in heat for a brief 24 hours? — Linda C.
ANSWER: In most cases that's fairly accurate. In order to conceive, a doe must be ready, willing and able. Heat or estrus is the brief period when a doe is ready to accept the advances of her male suitors and willing to "stand" and allow them to breed her.
This behavior is influenced by hormones, which also trigger ovulation, the period when a doe is physiologically able to conceive. Hormone levels begin rising several days prior to ovulation.
During this time a doe might smell ready to her suitors, and as ovulation draws closer she might even stand briefly, but conception will not take place until she ovulates. The peak release of hormones, and often a doe's willingness to breed, typically lasts only about a day — 24 hours.

Publica has roped in many Indian and international artists such as the London-based Jeremy Hutchison, identical twins Lydia and Phoebe Lake, popularly known as The Lake Twins, Israel-born Achia Anzi, and Indian artists such as Sandip Pisalkar, Mangesh Rajguru, S Thiru and Vikrant Sharma, among others. Interestingly, there is a common thread running through all the artworks. They have been created in a way to make them �environmentally focused, socially interactive and community driven�.
Asan, a double-headed scooter sculpture by Mangesh Rajguru at the Sabyasachi@Carma store in Mehrauli, depicts the side-effects of technological developments. Rajguru has welded two scooters to give it the form of a chair. �The seven silencers of the scooter are depicted in the form of the sheshanaga, considered to be lord Vishnu�s aasana,� says Rajguru. �Vehicles of transport today have become an integral part of our lives,� he says, adding, �However, these vehicles are massive contributors to air pollution, which we need to control. I have used the scooter as a vehicle and have given it the form of a chair, which speaks the position of power, authority and politics. We enjoy power, authority and convenience over hard work, but we must not forget the side effects brought by these technological developments.�
Sandip Pisalkar�s Human Enemy Killer (HEK), on display at the MGF Metropolitan mall in Gurgaon, uses a canon, which was used to kill enemies, as an object to kill mosquitoes. �My personal experience of suffering from malaria gave me the inspiration to create a kinetic sculpture of a mosquito killer by blending technology and art,� he says. �The historically important canon, used to kill enemies, has been manipulated to have a utilitarian purpose of killing mosquitoes, thereby making the public rethink about its gory past,� he says, adding, �Whenever I see an object of �historical reference�, I wish to transform it through the use of technology. That means the practical context and historical references are still there, but I only try to manipulate the way of seeing that object. It enhances the expression of that particular object and thereon the viewer starts rethinking about it.�
Asked if there are any plans underfoot to turn any of the displayed installations into permanent fixtures, Modi says, �Right now, we don�t have any such plans. One reason is that for that to happen, the artworks have to

You can also call them. I would check first as there are schools within the US that California has issues with and they will not let you sit for the board nor apply by endorsement if you have attended a non approved school.
Concurrency with class and clinical is a huge issue right now.

Thank you for your post!
1Sep 9, '12 by nursebride2012To the OP: I just did the same thing you are wanting to do. I graduated in June of this year and sent in all my transcripts from my schools after graduation- along with other required paperwork. I waited about 3 1/2 weeks and called the BON and spoke with my evaluator and had my ATT the same day. Took the NCLEX August 25th and am awaiting my license in the mail. What school/area do you live in? I went to school in Cincinnati and while in school I called to find out about educational requirements. The operator I spoke to told me that what they really care about is that your school is if course accredited, the clinicals and theory are taught concurrently and your A&P and Microbiology courses have a lab component. If you need any other info or have questions let me know 😃

|This is from the same site as the Skyline tut. I used Squirlz to animate, I was just playing around with it and came up with this, I'm sure someone else could improve on it. It was a little tricky because I had to save it six times(6 different selections) to make the flow different with the different water. I'm not too happy with the waters edge, as I couldn't figure out how to do an ebb and flow. I'm sure maybe with more playing, or maybe another save it might look better.
Follow-Up Postings:
|Carol- that is beautiful. A really nice job.
|Thank you Judy.
|That's beautiful Carol
You did good. I missed this one when I was looking at that site - guess I'll have to go back :)
I can never get the squirlz to work right either on more than one area - they tend to all join together :(
Sue :)
|I would have tried it in AS, but when I checked the wave choice I really was lost.
|Hi Carol
I can't find that tut on the site, can you point me in the right direction?
Sue :)
|Here it is Sue, it is the second one.
Here is a link that might be useful: Only an Ocean Away
|LOLOLOLOL That explains why I couldn't find it.
Yours is so much nicer.
I was looking for a picture of the old sailor, boy and dog.
Not sure I want to do it now as ladies faces get a bit boring :)
|Oh wow, Carol!
I got dizzy watching it.(sea sick)
|Thank you Sue,(I could send you that tube if you want) let me know. Urlee Im waiting for you to do it as I know you could get the water better.
|Gee Carol,
Maybe I for sure should not do it, keeping you thinking I could get the water better?
Is it possible? You did a terrific job.
I just glanced at the tute?
Is the water movement your idea?
Her's isn't moving?
|Yes, you started the whole thing with telling me about the instructions for the tut at Vic's. Now I'm hooked! Trying to get it right.
Yes it is possible( to do it better) you are usually up for that kind of challenge, but I remember you said you do not have Squirlz downloaded. There is always the wave effect in AS. C'mon I dare you!
|thanks Carol - you have email
|Carol, I really like how your "ocean motion" turned out, but you're right, the water's edge needs to move in and out. Just to see if I could do it I used PSPX and AS using the Morph transition. The image is 252KB so rather than post it here I'm using a link. Whadda' ya think...
What I did was isolate the lower part of the water (from the rocks down) on a layer by itself, duplicate that layer and deform one of them to make it look like the water had ebbed. From these parts (blurred background, upper image, water flowing in, water ebbing out) I created 2 complete image frames, one with the water flowing in (original water) and one with the water ebbing out (deformed water). Took those 2 frames to AS and used the Effects / Insert Image Transition... / Morph to create the inbetween frames.
As this is just a sample I only created 2 transition frames, but to make a smooth ebb and flow sequence I duplicated the 2 trans. frames and reversed them so it goes Flow, Trans1, Trans2, Ebb, Trans2, Trans1.
Now, tell me about this Squirlz you used, I don't think I heard of it. I'm thinking a patchwork from the Squirlz frames and the AS Morph frames would make an awesome animation.
P.S. If you want to really make yourself crazy, add a gentle bobbing motion to the boat. :D
|Wow Jill, that is perfect! Going to put these instructions in "Jill's PSP tips" folder.
I'm attaching the link for Squirlz Reflect Program. It is such a great little program, I've had it for over a year and love it. It does most of the work for you. The newest version will save to .gif it used to only save to AVI. Try it you will love it.
Thanks for your help in the ebb and flow.
Here is a link that might be useful: Squirlz Reflect Program

Carol - Thank You :)

I'm new here, but have been playing around with squirlz reflection program for some time. I have finally figured out how to do what I want to, but I can not get it to save; not in AVI nor in .gif! When I go to save it, it does funky things: locks up the computer, saves it into a file with no data, saves it but I can't retreive it, saves it in a format the program/computer can't read... I'm so frustrated!
I do have one copy saved as AVI, but when I try to open it with the 'open avi' button, a pop-up tells me it can not successfully open that file, but doesn't tell me WHY it can't.
Any of you who are more familiar with the program have any ideas what I might be doing wrong?
Thanks !
|Hi Danielle
I must admit I don't use the Swirlz program much but have never had it lock up or freeze on me.
Maybe you need to reinstall it as you may have a damaged file.
Sue :)
|Hi Danielle
I have used the program off and on for about a year. Never had that happen, wish I could be of more help, but believe me I am no computer genius and have no idea what to tell you. I think Sue's suggestion is right on target, let us know how you make out. There is a new version, I had downloaded it for this tut. It used to be you could only save it as an AVI, this one has a save as a gif button right up top on the tool bar

Grand County took a huge step forward in its quest to build the proposed Gore Canyon Whitewater Park at Pumphouse, thanks to the members of the Colorado Basin Roundtable and the Colorado Water Conservation Board.At their recent board meeting, the Colorado Water Conservation Board (CWCB) members awarded Grand County $500,000 from the Water Supply Reserve Account (WSRA) to help construct whitewater features in the Colorado River at the popular BLM recreational boating site west of Kremmling.Over $39 million has been awarded to hundreds of water projects across the state since the WSRA's inception by the Colorado Legislature in 2007. This is the first award for a project that is primarily for recreational purposes."The time has come to recognize non-consumptive water rights have a place at the table in Colorado," said CWCB's Colorado Basin Director Russell George. "Just a few years ago, this would have been inconceivable, but we're evolving.""Recreation is a huge part of our local and state economy," said Grand County Commissioner James Newberry. "We are grateful to the CWCB Board members for recognizing the economic value of whitewater boating on the Colorado River." Newberry, who is also chair of the Colorado River District board, emphasized that working together to recognize interests and benefits on both sides of the divide is the only way to get large water projects moved forward.The proposed $1.7 million whitewater park will take at least another couple years to bring to fruition. Partnerships with other funders are needed to leverage the major investment Grand County has made to date. Approximately $500,000 more must be raised from boaters and other partners before construction can begin.The Colorado Water Conservation Board members noted the broad and diverse support for the project. Endorsements for the grant came from Denver Water, Northwest Colorado Council of Governments, Colorado River District, Eagle County Commissioners, Summit County Commissioners, Eagle River Water & Sanitation District, Colorado Trout Unlimited and American Whitewater. Additionally, over 100 boaters sent passionate letters of support to CWCB for the project. During the 2012 Gorefest Race, kayakers enthusiastically pledged funds to help Grand County build the park.This major capital investment in recreation infrastructure is expected to create a good financial return for Grand County and the State of Colorado. According to the 2012 Year End Commercial River Use Report just released by the Colorado River Outfitters Association, commercial boating on the Upper Colorado River through Grand County, Eagle County and Glenwood Springs already provides an economic impact of over $32 million annually to the state. In 2012, there were 39,645 commercial passengers and about 40,000 private boaters who floated this reach. Only the Arkansas River had more users.The accessible new feature on the Upper Colorado River above Launch #2 at Pumphouse will provide additional opportunities for kayakers and stand-up paddle boarders to perfect their skills. This park-and-play whitewater park will be situated between the exhilarating Class IV-V Gore Canyon run and the splashy, scenic Class II-III section below Pumphouse. Even in low water years, this family-friendly reach has consistent flows all summer due to upstream reservoir releases for farmers and other downstream water users in the Colorado Basin.To learn more about how you can help Grand County bring the Gore Canyon Whitewater Park to life, contact project coordinator email@example.com is part of a series of articles coordinated by the Water Center at Colorado Mesa University in cooperation with the Colorado and Gunnison Basin Roundtables to raise awareness about water needs, uses and policies in our region. To learn more about the basin roundtables and statewide water planning, and to let the roundtables know what you think, go to www.coloradomesa.edu/WaterCenter.Caroline Bradford is the coordinator for Gore Canyon Whitewater Park.

Barnard double keeps Saints on song
Lee Barnard's first-half double helped fired Southampton to their biggest win of the season and maintained their unbeaten league record in 2010 following a 5-1 win over Walsall.Barnard claimed a double inside three minutes after Jason Puncheon had cancelled out Walsall defender Matt Richards's early strike.Rickie Lambert and Adam Lallana then completed the rout in the second half.Walsall gave themselves an ideal start as Richards curled in a delightful 25-yard free kick but the lead lasted just five minutes as Lambert and Puncheon combined for the midfielder to claim his first goal for the club.Barnard blasted his first of the game after Jose Fonte headed John Otsemobor's cross back across goal. The former Southend striker then doubled his tally with a fine touch and half-volley on the turn from Otsemobor's pass.Twenty-six goal top scorer Lambert took until the hour mark to get in on the action as he cushioned Otsemobor's long diagonal ball to fire under Walsall keeper Rene Gilmartin. In the final moments Lallana then tapped into an empty net from substitute Michail Antonio's centre.

The Democratic Party's War on Black People and How to Counter It
The answers weren't that complicated. All these social welfare programs, affirmative actions, etc. were a signal to African Americans that they were inferior, that somehow they couldn't make it without help. This became a self-fulfilling prophecy, a kind of mass Stockholm Syndrome. And, quite naturally, it engendered a great deal of anger.
The system wasn't all that different from giving heroin or alcohol to a family member to ease him or her out of their addiction. It didn't work but it kept them dependent.
Meanwhile, plenty of African Americans succeeded without this dubious "help," because, quite clearly, they realized they didn't need it and went on with their lives. Motivating the supposed "help" the others were getting were two factors: 1. liberal white racism and 2. a desire on the part of the Democratic Party to turn African Americans into a class that would vote for them perpetually, something that party has clearly succeeded in to the complete detriment of African Americans, if we believe even part of all the depressing statistics.
So how do we counter this? First of all, by calling out the true racists, not the fake ones. A recent example is Rep. Barbara Lee's (D-CA) attack on Paul Ryan for his actually rather tepid remarks on poverty. She called Ryan a racist, when Lee herself, an African American, is far more racist than Ryan, working against the interests of her people. Lee, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and others of their ilk are oddly like the Jewish sonderkommandos and kapos who lorded it over their own brethren in the concentration camps. Well, perhaps not that bad, but bad enough.
As I have written before, and recently, as has PJM's Zombie, instead of waiting to be attacked, we should call out the real racists first. Offense, not defense. The country is waiting. And, most of all, you will be doing minorities a favor. They are the ones, more than any, being oppressed. Don't be afraid of helping them get free of their oppressors by telling the truth. It's the most humane thing we could all do.

I don't want to counter it anymore. If white Americans try to help them, we're racists. If white Americans don't try to help them, we're racists. They're filled with rage and hate. They don't want equal opportunity or justice, they want revenge. Never mind that no whites alive in this country today had anything to do with slavery. Never mind that no black Americans alive in this country today have ever been a slave. Never mind that they have as much opportunity to succeed now as any white in this country, if they would only make the effort. And especially never mind that black Africans enslaved each other, sold each other to Arab slave traders, who sold them to Europeans, and that millions of African blacks are enslaved on that continent and in the Middle East right now, but not by whites. We're white and that's all they care about. I think for many black Americans, their ideal America would be a country of downtrodden, virtually (or literally) enslaved whites, with blacks in control of everything. Of course, that would be a disaster, as we have seen in numerous cities in this country run by black Americans. Oops, was that racist? Of course it was, never mind that it's the truth. And before I'm labeled a racist by any posters, I know that we have plenty of black Americans who are intelligent, talented, ethical and generally outstanding human beings. They're lumped in with white Americans as the enemy, when they're everything that many black Americans could be, if they would simply let go of their hate and rage. But I don't think that's going to happen, so, as I said, I don't want to counter it any more. I'm tired of it. I'm done.

Everybody has asked the question. . ."What shall we do with the Negro?" I have had but one answer from the beginning. Do nothing with us! Your doing with us has already played the mischief with us. Do nothing with us! If the apples will not remain on the tree of their own strength, if they are wormeaten at the core, if they are early ripe and disposed to fall, let them fall! I am not for tying or fastening them on the tree in any way, except by nature's plan, and if they will not stay there, let them fall. And if the Negro cannot stand on his own legs, let him fall also. All I ask is, give him a chance to stand on his own legs! Let him alone!

"So how do we counter this?"
Maybe we (whites) don't. Not with black people anyway. I think, if it is to be done, they will have to do it themselves. Maybe, in large numbers, they can't do it. I don't know, but it doesn't look especially promising anymore, and you gave a partial list of why yourself. You said how not to do it yourself when you rightly said that "a signal to African Americans that they were inferior, that somehow they couldn't make it without help (from whites)" was a bad thing. Maybe "tough love" (just being honest) would work, but I doubt it.

I threw these on after boarding for 3 years without a stomp pad. They're quite big--they're almost an inch tall each, and very sharp tipped--not rounded at all. The height seems to limit the amount of pressure i can put on my edges while skating around. If you're just worried about slipping off when you get off the lift, they'll do well--but look elsewhere if you want to be able to steer with them on.
